How do you track contracts?
Question: I have worked for my employer — a large company with more than 1,400 employees — for eight years now. When I started working here, the amount of contracts we processed yearly was manageable. More recently, the number of contracts processed annually has tripled, and keeping track of them has become a task that isn't really assigned to one person.
Getting a contract through the process and returned signed and completed takes constant reminders to the individual responsible for that particular contract. On average, we have to send four reminders to an individual for each contract to be reviewed or completed.
The executive assistant to the CEO has been undertaking much of the responsibility, and I have been pitching in when I have spare time, which is hardly ever.
Does anyone have an easy process to track contracts when routing for various signatures or reminding different managers/directors/VPs when a contract is due for renewal or review and then following up with them to make sure it was completed? Do you have one person who over sees this task? What is his or her title? Does he or she have any other job duties? — Lindsay Anderson
One of the most frustrating aspects of any job is waiting for responses, especially when deadlines are involved. Below is a sample memo used when we send out drafts of agreements for approval. You will see that the responsibility of approval is where it should be…. with the manager or exec who is paid to make these decisions/-approvals…
Attached hereto is the completed Agreement Authorization Request for the above-referenced agreement with _________ and a draft of the Agreement. If you have any questions, comments or objections to the proposal or draft, please contact the listed Responsible Party, no later than _________________, 2006. To that end, your silence will be considered your acquiescence.
—————This way, they are given a specific date to respond. If they don't, then it is understood that they approve. I am the legal secretary (admin). We usually give a one week response time (some less). The responses are copied and filed with the signed contract. If no response received, it means approval. this procedures works perfectly. Hope this helps.
We send a pre-paid envelope out with our request for feedback. Most of the time they will be returned without a postmark. Depending upon the size of your organization, you could have someone open them for you, and throw out the envelopes before they reach you.
My company in last few years went through same dilemma. In response to that, my position (which was an Asst to the Dept. Director), was upgraded to Contracts/Insurance Coordinator. This position primarily oversees all Contracts and Insurance for the company. The original contract is submitted to my office, where I oversee getting all reviews and signatures, and returning it to client for signature. Do you have any software you use to keep track of your contracts? We use Contract Advantage… I'm not thrilled with it, but it's better than nothing.
I'm assuming these are all internal signatures you're trying to gather. If so, see if your email program allows for routing. I'm sure MS Outlook and Lotus Notes have this functionality – but it does require some equipment/software. This does all the tracking and managing for you.
Of course, there are other software programs out there. Here are a few links:
Just go to Google and search for "Contract Management Software" and you'll find a lot of options.
If new software isn't an option, here are some other ideas:
1) In MS Word, there is a document routing feature. Go to the Help menu and search for "Document Routing" and it should display the help topic. I have not used this in recent years, but it used to be very effective. *May* require the Outlook option I described above to work.
2) If it's generally the same group of individuals who need to review/sign, is it possible to block a time in each of their calendars daily/weekly for reviewing of contracts? I did this with my project managers. At first, they were a little baffled as to why I was "touching their calendar"; however, they now rely on me managing their calendar for these items.
3) Ask upper management to revisit this situation and re-enforce the importance of reviewing/signing these contracts in a timely fashion.
4) Are there others working for an executive who can sign for them? I have also done this for contracts that were below "X" dollar amount.
Generally, there are Contract Administrators who do just what you describe. Here is one description I found on Salary.com:
Job Description for Contracts Administrator I:
Aids in the preparation of contractual provisions and the administration of contract proposals. Responsible for preparing bids and negotiating specifications and contractual provisions. Requires a bachelor's degree and 0-2 years of experience in the field or in a related area. Familiar with standard concepts, practices, and procedures within a particular field. Relies on limited experience and judgment to plan and accomplish goals. Performs a variety of tasks. Works under direct supervision; typically reports to a manager.
If the workload has increased that much, approach HR about creating a new position and hiring someone specifically to do this. Emphasize the LIABILITY issue to the company if the proper people aren't signing as they need to!
If you have other questions, feel free to email me!
~Cindy 😉
My corporation has a SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)written specifically to encompass confidential disclosure between us and any company/vendor. Each of our facilities has an assigned Administrator who tracks the agreements/contracts for their specific site. A corporate log with restricted access for site Administrators only is in place for visibility and traceability of these controlled documents.
A "Request Form" is available for all employees' in the company's public folder. Once a "Request Form" is completed, the Requestor emails the form to the Administrator for processing. The Administrator chooses one of three WORD templates (specified by the Requestor on the "Request Form"), fills in the blanks with details provided from the "Request Form", saves and names the template as a new document; then prints (2) two originals. The controlled document is now ready for the Requestor to take to contractor/vendor. Requestor obtains dated approval signatures from both parties on both originals; then one original remains with the contractor/vendor (them) and one original is returned to the Administrator (us). Hope this helps – email me with questions.

The U.S. Supreme Court decided on March 21, 2017, to eliminate the laches defense in patent infringement cases. The ruling comes on the heels of another U.S. Supreme Court case in 2014 that largely eliminated the defense of laches in copyright cases.
The defense of laches provided a shield against patent infringement claims by patent owners who waited an unreasonably long time before filing suit. Courts permitted such a defense if the patent owner knew of the infringing activities yet waited until the market further developed in an effort to collect more damages.
The Supreme Court now disagrees with the prior laches defense practice and ruled that because the Patent Act holds that patent owners can recover damages only for infringement occurring less than six years before the complaint was filed, laches cannot be interposed as a defense against damages within this six-year period.
In SCA Hygiene Products AB et al. v. First Quality Baby Products LLC et al., the Supreme Court agreed with SCA that since Congress imposed a six-year limitation on damages in patent cases, that period cannot be shortened based on a laches defense. The Supreme Court specifically stated that "it would be exceedingly unusual, if not unprecedented," for Congress to include both the statute of limitations for damages and the laches defense.
Justice Stephen Breyer strongly disagreed, stating in a dissent that case law shows with "crystal clarity" that Congress intended the statute to keep laches as a defense and that the language of the statute strongly suggests that as well. Justice Breyer was concerned that without laches, patent owners could unreasonably delay filing suit until the infringer invested heavily in developing an infringing product in an effort to collect more damages. Many companies, including Google Inc. and Intel Corp., had urged the Supreme Court to preserve laches as a defense, arguing that non-practicing entities could otherwise unreasonably sit on infringement claims to maximize damages.
There are times when patent owners may pursue infringement allegations quickly (e.g., where there is market disruption), but this decision allows patent owners to more readily wait to let the accused infringer help build the market, or to allow damages to escalate to create more litigation leverage. The resulting prejudice to accused infringers in not having infringement claims more timely resolved includes economic prejudice by investing in the accused technology, and evidentiary prejudice, especially in an electronic age where at least some documents are destroyed automatically due to electronic destruction company guidelines.
The related defense of equitable estoppel likely survives, as suggested by dicta from the Supreme Court's SCA opinion: "We note, however … that the doctrine of equitable estoppel provides protection against some of the problems that First Quality highlights, namely, unscrupulous patentees inducing potential targets of infringement suits to invest in the production of arguably infringing products." Thus, although more difficult to establish than laches, the equitable estoppel defense remains active in patent cases.
What This Means to You
This ruling could strengthen patent cases and possibly lead to larger damages in certain situations. Patent owners now have less risk in allowing damages to accrue and waiting to sue for patent infringement. Defendants have one fewer defense that can be employed to defeat damage claims. The larger impact is likely to be felt in litigation with non-practicing entities, which can notoriously involve very old (or expired) patents and large claims of past purported damages.

Food for Thought: Gifting homemade goodies
Buttery chocolate cookie dough with nuts and marshmallows. Creamy caramels with apple cider and warm spices. These are just a taste of some of the irresistible sweets you could be gifting this holiday season.
Homemade holiday gifts deserve special presentations, but these finishing touches don't have to mean a lot of extra time or money. Break out the crafting supplies, hit up a vintage shop or venture online to gather an inspired collection of packaging materials. With a few simple tips, you can create a memorable presentation worthy of the sweet, buttery goodness inside:
Create a candy cone. To package small, individually wrapped candies like caramels, find festive paper at a craft or scrapbook store. Then, roll it into a cone shape and tape it shut at the seam. Add ribbon or other decorations, and then fill the cone with candy.
Think outside the cardboard box. Consider packaging your gifts in a simple wooden box with a festive bow tied around it. Visit your local craft store for interesting containers to help you break free of the typical cardboard variety.
Take and bake. A ready-to-bake treat like cookie dough is the perfect hostess gift. Consider presenting it in disposable pint-sized ice cream containers. You can find them online, or simply ask for a few from your local ice cream shop. Don't forget to add a festive tag with baking instructions.
Be sure to label. Use festive gift tags with the name of your recipe so your lucky friends and family know what a special treat they're receiving. Custom complimentary gift tags can be found at ButterIsBest.com, courtesy of America's Dairy Farmers.
Easy recipe: Hot Mulled Cider
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 quarts apple cider
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon whole cloves
3-inch stick cinnamon
Combine ingredients and gradually bring to a boil. Simmer 20 minutes.
Makes 2 quarts.

NTSB says there is a significant debris field at plane crash site
The fragmented pieces of a small airplane that collided with a South Dakota wind turbine will be taken to Colorado so investigators can try to determine why the pilot was flying so low and how the aircraft went down.
The single-engine Piper crashed Sunday evening in fog 10 miles south of Highmore, killing the pilot and three cattlemen returning from a sale in Texas of live cattle and embryos.
Possible factors to be investigated include trouble with the pilot or plane and weather, said Jennifer Rodi, a National Transportation Safety Board investigator who spent Tuesday on the scene.
More coverage:Three cattlemen, former SDSU football player die in plane crash
"It definitely appears the airplane dropped the turbine blade in some manner. But until I can put the pieces of the wreckage together, it will be hard to say whether it was a front-on impact or if the blade came down on the plane," she said.
The debris field is in a circle with the damaged wind turbine in the center and parts of the plane scattered for several hundred feet in all directions, she said.
"I would describe the wreckage as fragmented," Rodi said, adding that it will be removed by Wednesday.
It's not known if the pilot filed a flight plan but he was not communicating with air traffic controllers at the time of the crash, she said.
The pilot, Donald J. "D.J." Fischer, 30, of Gettysburg, owned the plane. Also killed were cattlemen Brent Beitelspacher, 37, of Bowdle, and Logan Rau, 25, of Java, and Nick Reimann, 33, of Ree Heights.
Mike Mimms, a veterinarian who runs the annual sale in Hereford, said Reimann had been down for the show multiple times and is known across the industry as a master in livestock genetics.
"He was honestly the number one guy in this business and one that people trusted," he said of Reimann. "He kind of a was a trendsetter that people wanted to know what he was doing and they tended to follow suit."
Mimms said much of Reimann's herd originated from the Beitelspacher family's herd.
Beitelspacher's mother, Carla Beitelspacher, told the Pierre Capital Journal that her son loved hunting, tournament fishing and being outdoors. He was a loving husband and father who almost always had a smile on his face, she said.
"He was very energetic," Carla Beitelspacher said. "He was ready to capture the world."
Rau, who had two pregnant cows consigned to the sale, loved his family, hunting, ice fishing, the Kansas City Chiefs and treated his three dogs like children, said his sister, TiAnn Poloncic.
Poloncic told the Capital Journal that her brother was halfway through a paramedic program at Lake Area Technical Institute in Watertown when he made choice to head back to the family farm and run the operation with his father, Todd Rau.
"He was living the American dream," she said. "He was a tough farmer but he had a soft heart. He loved what he did."
Fischer, a crop sprayer for Air Kraft Spraying Inc., attended South Dakota State University and played defensive tackle for the school's football team from 2002-2005. Fischer's college coach, John Stiegelmeier, described him as a gifted athlete who was a great friend to his teammates.
The wreckage was found Monday at the South Dakota Wind Energy Center, a site south of Highmore with 27 turbines that are about 213 feet tall, plus the length of the blade.
The National Weather Service said fog and low clouds combined for reduced visibility in the Highmore area on Sunday night, and winds were out of the east at about 15 to 25 mph.
Rodi said the ultimate destination of the flight was Gettysburg, where the pilot lived, but he had picked up a passenger in Highmore on the way to Texas.
Highmore is less than 800 miles from Hereford, which falls within the maximum range of a Piper. However, factors such as how much fuel was in the plane when it left and head winds contribute to range, so that will also be part of the investigation, she said.
Rodi said that to her knowledge the plane did not stop to refuel, though that will be part of the investigation.
Fischer was certified to fly with instruments only but she didn't know if he was current on that rating, she added.

Australian Open stays in Sydney for 2015
Golf Australia have announced that the 2015 Emirates Australian Open will return to The Australian Golf Club in Sydney after a hugely successful staging of the championship last month.
Golf Australia chief executive officer Stephen Pitt said the decision to return to the 2014 host had been an easy one to make for all concerned.
Jordan Spieth's amazing final round 63 captivated Australian TV audiences (Credit: Anthony Powter)
"We are delighted to return to The Australian for what will be the 19th time it hosts the Emirates Australian Open," Pitt said. "The redesigned course was superbly prepared and well received by both players and fans."
With world numbers one and three, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott, and eventual champion Jordan Spieth all featuring prominently throughout the event, gallery and television viewer numbers were at very healthy levels all week.
Host broadcaster Channel 7 reported an increase in ratings around Australia for the 2014 championship – remarkable given their surge with the dramatic 2013 finale where McIlroy pipped Scott at the final hole to win the championship at Royal Sydney.
The 2014 Emirates Australian Open reached almost 2.7 million viewers across the four days with a peak of more than one million for Sunday's final round, where Spieth shot an incredible 63 in one of the best rounds ever seen at an Australian Open. The four day average of 25.3% made it the most-watched program in its timeslot.
"The overwhelming feedback we've had from players and sponsors is that they'll be delighted to go back in 2015, so we're thrilled to be able to make that happen." Pitt said.

It was like going back in time, that's only the 2nd time I've been back there in 38 years. The memories were so thick I couldn't process it all, I was overwhelmed. Standing there on the soil that had shaped so much of my childhood. I could hear the sounds of days gone by, smell the hot dogs cooking at the snack bar, hear the banter on the fields, feel my cleats digging in at the plate, the pitch, the swing, the ring of my favorite old red, aluminum bat as it made contact, the feel of it, knowing I got all of that one as I head down the line towards first. So many Saturdays were spent on those fields. I got choked up seeing they honored my old coach, Bob Dalton, by naming the complex after him.
So many memories both good and bad flood my head. The feelings that accompany those memories are coming at me to fast to process. I stand there under the now giant oak trees and remember they were only saplings back then. My dad stood along the fence over there and… I have to leave before I start crying. Everyone knows there's no crying in baseball. It's all I can do to choke back the memories, and the emotions that accompany them.
To my son, I apologize for being so damned selfish, and disguising it as righteous holier-than-thou religious bullshit in not allowing you to have the memories I have from playing baseball. I hope you can forgive such a selfish old man.

Aranya Ambient Film
As part of our large delivery for Aranya we created a number of movies, one of which was a beautiful ambient film that was to play on large format screens within the marketing suite. The film is designed to be a rich background piece that weaves a tapestry of colour, light and emotion. It highlights some of the natural greenery and beauty that can be seen in Byculla and on the doorstep of the Aranya development.

Lesley was my closest friend to become sick in the 1980s, and he fought bravely until his death from AIDS. I don't particularly need World AIDS Day to remember him. He comes to mind nearly every day, and I often write about him, the first of many friends lost to the epidemic.
But there's something I will not do. I will not dig up Lesley's body and beat young gay men with his corpse. Lesley did not perish so that I could use him as a scare tactic. He wasn't a cautionary tale. He wasn't a martyr. He was a man with the same passions and faults as anyone else, and I won't use his death as a blunt instrument.
But plenty of us are more than happy to rob graves in an attempt to frighten gay men into acceptable behaviors. This kind of horror-by-proxy happens all the time. Concerned but misguided gay men of a certain age hear whatever the latest HIV infection rates are, and they pull the AIDS Crisis Card.
"If their friends all died like mine did, maybe they would think twice before having sex without a condom," goes a typical remark, drenched in self-pity and tenuous logic.
This statement misrepresents our lost friends and oversimplifies the state of HIV today. It projects our grief in the direction of those who bear no responsibility for, nor any resemblance to, what we experienced. It subtly blames our departed friends for their mistakes and then tries to equate them with a new generation of gay men who are much too smart to buy into it.
So frozen in time is our victimhood that it hardly allows for the facts of the here and now. Young gay men are more aware of HIV than my generation ever was. They simply relate to it differently, having come of age since the advent of successful treatments. Asking them to fear something that they have literally grown to accept is as realistic as asking them to perform "duck and cover" drills in case Russia drops the bomb.
To view these young men and say, in effect, "If only you saw all the death that I saw," is a wishful fantasy that disturbs me on all sorts of levels, and it says far more about us than it does about them.
I understand that these attitudes come from a place of complicated emotions, ranging from grief, primarily, to our own shame or guilt over dodging a bullet, and it may come from a sincere need to share our experience with others. The punishing tone that often accompanies it, though, isn't going to win the respect or investment of younger men.
I take our community history very seriously. I've written a book about the dawn of AIDS in Hollywood, read And the Band Played On more than once, and cheered on the activists in the documentary How to Survive a Plague, and I can't wait for the release of Sean Strub's upcoming AIDS memoir, Body Counts. There is enormous value in preserving our history -- and in recognizing that many of us still carry trauma born of that time.
Community advocates have stepped up work to help us process what we went through a generation ago. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a very real phenomenon for longtime survivors, and excellent community forums have been mounted to explore these areas by the Medius Working Group in New York City and the Let's Kick ASS (AIDS survivor syndrome) project in San Francisco. Hopefully, other cities and LGBT organizations will follow suit.
However, that important work is quite different from allowing our past to blind us to the present. When we raise our finger and say in a voice filled with foreboding, "People think you only have to take a few pills and that's it," we are denying the actual experience of a lot of people with HIV. For many like me, taking a few pills a day is in fact the only impact that HIV has on our lives. Research suggests that I will live a normal lifespan and am more likely to die from cigarettes than from HIV. And I'm not going to deny all that in order to advance a fright-show storyline that isn't my experience.
There are young voices telling new stories, thankfully. Gay writers living with HIV such as Patrick Ingram, Josh Robbins, Tyler Curry, Aaron Laxton, Robert Breining and the irascible Josh Kruger are peering across the generational divide (I have HIV antibodies older than they are), and they seem bemused. Their blogs suggest a post-AIDS life of full engagement and purpose. I consider this progress. If their lives (and writings) don't include burying friends or serious health concerns, wasn't that our goal all along?
Our AIDS tragedy isn't simply an annoying mindset in our social lives. It stands in the way of embracing exciting new developments in HIV prevention. New understandings of what it means to have an undetectable viral load, or the breathtaking breakthrough of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), have been unfairly maligned not because the science isn't convincing but because we're too attached to the mythology of condoms. We idealize their usage and efficacy, when nearly half of gay men are not using them consistently and never have.
If you follow this thinking, gay men who don't use condoms are doomed heretics unworthy of new prevention strategies. Let them eat cake. Just don't "waste money" on PrEP.
Perhaps in the end we are simply victims of our own success as advocates. We successfully entrenched the immediate, mortal danger of HIV, the shameless inaction of our government, and the profit-driven, opportunistic role of the pharmaceutical industry. Anything that veers from that narrative, especially for those of us who lived it, feels like betrayal. Yet here we sit, in an age that confounds so much of the horrific truths of decades past.
The 1980s are history. They are not a prevention strategy. The war as we once knew it, the one Lesley and so many others fought so valiantly, is over.
May they rest in peace.

SoCal environmental agency crowdsources ideas to improve air quality
The agency that keeps watch over our air quality wants some new ideas for cutting smog in the Coachella Valley, and it's prepared to crowdsource for them.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District is holding workshops for possible air pollution reduction programs.
The workshops are geared toward community groups and environmental entrepreneurs with solid ideas for improving existing programs or kickstarting new ones.
Ideas can run the gamut from retrofitting diesel engines to improving highways.
The agency says it will rate the proposals based on how well they conform to air quality goals — and whether they can create jobs.
The projects will be bankrolled by $53 million in mitigation fees from the Sentinel Energy power plant near Palm Springs.
At least 30 percent of that money must be spent on projects in so-called "environmental justice areas." That includes places like the community of Mecca, where some people have blamed illnesses on emissions from an open-air waste recycling plant.
Proposals must be submitted by June 8.

Think of it. When our car breaks down and we take it for repair, we want a mechanic who has a scientific basic knowledge of its parts and internal operations. We also want one who can find our particular problem. We worry if we see that his(her) own vehicle is in disrepair. And if he misperceives our badly-behaving beast and takes a dislike to it, we worry more. And if the vehicle is our mind, and the service person a mental health specialist, and we come late and surly for our initial appointment, we want him(her) to realize that he has just witnessed the first sign of its malfunction. Of course a friendly relationship would be welcome, but that is not our primary desire. With deep and lovely years to spend and miles to go before we end, it's reliable transportation we're after. So is it impossible to achieve a level of expertise that could help us get it? Yes, there are differences. The human mind was not conceived and built by an engineer who could rhyme off its intricacies at will. But scientific clinical studies of its after-creation states could lead to such. Botanists and zoologists have developed testable theories of phenomena that they did not produce. During his medical training, Dr. Harry M. Anderson was inspired by the apolitical curiosity, courage, and determination of the scientists he encountered, and he carried their example into a career in the psychoanalytic domain. It led him to test the definability of its concepts and the predictive capability of its principles, and methods for doing so during treatments were developed. Some held up to validation procedures while others did not, and a reliable body of theory began to emerge from the work. As it proved repeatedly accurate in sessions with patients, he applied it in a parallel analysis of self after his training analysis. Then, new research data emerged from several sources to expand its range, and as the roots of some of life's most severe symptoms were reached and dismantled, the goal of providing "complete analyses" became more than possible. It also became apparent that unsuspected artistic creative potentials could be released in self and others; and that theoretically-informed analyses could create extensive ripple effects in families, career situations, marriages, and friendships. None of his specific research was planned, but retrospective notations revealed that each had followed naturally upon the one before. Initial offerings had energized the curious part of his mind and pulled the rest of it with them.

Wemark: Distributed Marketplace For The Digital Content Based On Blockchain Technology
Today, we would like to talk about an innovative and ingenious distributed marketplace for digital content. As the number of photos, music, and video available in digital formats has increased in the last decades, centralized nature of the digital content market constitutes a severe challenge to the content creators all around the world. They have to give up their rights as well as control over their products to be part of the market as the limited number of companies dominates the distribution of the digital content. These companies set the rules and take advantage of the higher profits while content creators are not able to benefit from the outcomes of their materials. As a remedy, distributed marketplaces enable the direct licensing ensuring the digital content creators' full control over their content. Israel and San Francisco based Wemark create the distributed marketplace for the digital content creators powered by the blockchain technology.
Experienced and dedicated team members of Wemark introduce the Wemark Protocol based on the blockchain technology. Wemark Protocol which will consist of the set of smart contracts will provide incredible solutions to existing digital content distribution issues eliminating all the agents and mediators and facilitating the distributed marketplaces within the sophisticated decentralized network. As the first use case of the Wemark Protocol, the team presents the unique stock photography distributed marketplace, Wemark.com. After the comprehensive analysis and research on the stock photography market, Wemark team detects that the sector has been extraordinarily centralized and controlled by the small number of companies. Due to their domination and market rules, photographers are not able to interact with their customers directly, and they have to give up their rights, profits, and control. Therefore, while these companies have increased their earnings with the incredible growth of the digital content sector, real content-owners have not able to take advantage of the recent trends.
However, Wemark.com will offer the advanced distributed marketplace for the photographers which will wipe out any effect of agencies and mediators. Thus, photographers will be able to interact with the users from all around the world directly keeping the control of their contents within the blockchain powered environment, and the customers of the photographers will enjoy the digital licenses of contents using their WMK tokens. Wemark Protocol powered by blockchain and smart contract technology will support the immutable distribution agreements, automated payment, and distribution system. Moreover, the Protocol will provide the licensing, payments, revenue distribution, and storage access features and services for the participants of Wemark.com platform. Accordingly, Wemark will resolve the current issues in the market by offering innovative solutions for the digital content creators with the help of the blockchain technology.
Photographers will enjoy the full control over their contents, higher profits, security, and transparency. Ensuring the progress in decentralization, Wemark will provide the services of file storage and access to content, connection with external storage, crypto payments, licensing, and rewarding. Wemark will contribute to further growth of the digital content market and blockchain technology with the integration of the smart contracts, cryptocurrency as well as immutable ledger technology. Thus, Wemark highlights the significance of the flexibility, curation and modern collection, affordability, and customer satisfaction.
Token Sale
Wemark introduces the WMK tokens powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Holders of the WMK tokens will be able to benefit from the advanced platform services, payment system, and reward system. Join the crowdsale and enjoy the digital content revolution!

Tall Bull Memorial Park Pow Wow 2018
May 19th – May 20th (Saturday & Sunday)
Tall Bull Memorial Park
N Daniels Park Rd, Sedalia, CO 80135
Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration 2017
Mini Pow Wow, Teach-in and Friendship Dance
Monday, October 9th from 4:30 to 6:30 pm
Central Park Boulder Bandshell (SE Corner of Broadway & Canyon)
Indigenous Peoples Day is part of a national effort to recognize and honor the existence, culture and contributions of the original inhabitants of North America on the day that has for the past 82 years been observed as Columbus Day.
Lakota Elder Lee Plenty Wolf will speak about the oral history history of Boulder, CO that has been handed down by Boulder's Indigenous residents. He'll explain the meaning of the four Indigenous Native American dances and the importance of large gatherings in Indigenous culture. Four dances will be performed and Native American Music Awards (NAMA) winners the Plenty Wolf Singers will drum and sing.
The earliest known human inhabitants of Boulder, the Clovis people, left artifacts that date back to approximately 11,000 BCE. Archaeologists believe that they, along with their camels and other animals, congregated at a site along Gregory Creek. Yes, camels roamed around Boulder Valley at that time! In subsequent years, many Paleo-Indian cultures inhabited areas of present-day Colorado including the Anasazi. These ancestral Puebloans are known for their rich culture of architecture: cliff dwellings and pit houses; crafting: basket-making, pendants and bracelets; rock art; agriculture and trade.

Management is responsible for identifying, monitoring, measuring and controlling (i.e., managing) the risks faced by the credit union. Their ability to manage these risks determine whether the credit union can correctly diagnose and respond to financial stress. Examiners should not assess management solely on the credit union's current financial condition, nor should the management rating be only an average of the other component ratings.

Breakfast of Champions (Every Day of the Week)
By Sabrina Katz, Staff Writer
It's been nearly two months since we've been in school, which means you've probably had more than a few boring breakfasts.
Whether it's been Cocoa Puffs every single morning or switching between strawberry and vanilla yogurt, chances are you could use some new, unique breakfast entrees to switch things up a bit.
If you're fine with eating the same thing every day, more power to you! But for those of us with ever-changing morning munch-y desires, here's a list of something new you can eat every day of the week:
Monday – Is it really Monday again? Unfortunately, you probably won't be able to get over that dreaded beginning-of-the-week feeling, but eating a super delicious breakfast can certainly brighten your spirits!
Today, check out the omelets and toss in your favorite toppings (here's a great way to eat your veggies!). You're going to want a protein packed meal to keep you awake during your classes. Pair it with a slice of toast or English muffin and you're good to go!
Tuesday – In my opinion, Tuesday is basically Monday, except that tinge of excitement you get from seeing your classmates again is long gone. I'd recommend French toast this morning. Make it more exciting by topping it with peanut butter and frozen blueberries.
Or, if you're more traditional, you can't go wrong with syrup. But you're looking to skip the extra sugar from it, top your toast with some jelly instead: it'll sweeten things up without giving you a sugar rush.
Wednesday – It's Hump Day! Let's kick the morning off with a bowl of cottage cheese. Mix it with fruit: blueberries, strawberries, or whatever you can find!
Make sure to add in a dash of cinnamon (there's a shaker by the Grill area) to get an extra zing of flavor. It tastes great topped off on a slice of toast or half a bagel.
Thursday – Don't be a cereal killer, be a cereal thriller! (Oh geez, not another pun…) Now sounds like a good time to whip out one of those sasquatch bowls. Fill it up with your favorite cereal, but why stick to one?
Mixing two or even three different cereals will give you a unique flavor in every spoonful.
Friday – Power through your last day of classes with a not-so-boring bowl of oatmeal. Here are a few combinations you can try in the dining hall:
- PB&J – Mix ½ cup of oatmeal with a tablespoon each of peanut butter and jelly.
- Chunky Monkey – Mix ½ cup of oatmeal with chocolate sauce and add sliced bananas on top.
- Blueberry Cinnamon – Mix ½ cup of oatmeal with a ladle-full of frozen blueberries, a couple shakes of cinnamon, and a tablespoon of honey.
Saturday – Hallelujah! Finally, Saturday has arrived. To start your weekend, make a kick-ass breakfast sandwich: toast and butter an English muffin, then add 2 sliced hard-boiled eggs to the inside. Throw in some salt and pepper and a couple squirts of hot sauce for good luck.
On the side, cut up an apple and dip in it some au natural peanut butter. Do you hear that? It's my stomach, already growling for Saturday breakfast…
Sunday – Can you believe it's been SEVEN WHOLE DAYS since you repeated a breakfast? Don't stop now! On Sunday, treat yourself to the pancake bar.
Whether they're chocolate chip or blueberry, pancakes on Sunday is sure to lift your spirits up before your next week of school begins.
All that's left is drinks: switch it up between milk, tea, coffee and all those weird looking fruit-infused waters you haven't tried yet. Bon appetit, mes amis!

New PS Vita announced for October 10 in Japan
Sony has announced a new version of the PS Vita that's thinner, lighter and has a longer battery life than its predecessor.
Just weeks after Sony confirmed a PS Vita price cut during its Gamescom conference, the Japanese electronics manufacturer has revealed there's a new design on its way, although it may only be in Japan for now.
Dubbed the PS Vita '2000', the second-generation handheld console is 20 per cent lighter than the existing model and 15 per cent thinner. The new PS Vita also boasts an additional hour battery life, boosting the existing average of three and a half hours of gameplay.
Sony has added internal storage for the PS Vita, a new feature that means users won't have to buy a memory card straight off if they don't want to, but it is only a measly 1GB.
Chopping around $100 (£65) of the price of the existing model, the PS Vita 2000 will also come in an array of six new colours: white, black, pink, blue and olive green.
Unfortunately, Sony has swapped the OLED screen in the current PS Vita for an LCD panel. This will mean a reduction in display quality, which is one of the showcase features on the future PS4 companion, especially with games like Killzone: Mercenary.
Sony has yet to announce any PS Vita 2000 release date plans for anyone outside Japan, so it's unsure if and when we'll ever get to see the new handheld.
The PS Vita will get improved functionality with the launch of the PS4 console in November. Sony has already confirmed that all PS4 games are required to have PS Vita Remote Play compatibility, unless they require specific hardware like the PlayStation Camera.
This may give the some struggling handheld console a bit of a sales boost in the future, as gamers will benefit from the additional functionality between the two consoles.
Next, read our pick of the best games of 2013.

Cycling from London to Istanbul for Charity 4500 kms. Aeriel view of where they cycled – sort of.
Just to remind anyone, a group of Exeter students including my son Charles Bushe cycled to Istanbul in temperatures of often 40 degrees this summer. The 13 cyclists did an incredible thing to raise money for Help for Heroes. Below I have reposted what i originally wrote. But today i flew back from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia to london and for most of the journey the plane followed the route that they cycled. it took them around 40 days and the plane around 5 hours to do that stretch. I hope these photos remind folks what an epic thing that was to do. the quality is not good as they were taken with the humble i Phone 4S.
A week ago on 26th July 13 students from the University of Exeter commenced a 4500km cycle to Istanbul. Why? To support Help for Heroes. Many of these students had just completed their degree and graduated 2 weeks before. Somehow they found time to train,organise and generally prepare for this strenous trip. Aside from the obvious physical aspects there were numerous other planning aspects to consider. For example how to spend as little as possible on the trip, as this would reduce the sponsorship amounts for the charity. So, they spend most nights in tents and some nights in cheap hostels. The van they were donated is not of the Formula 1 category and rather like a beached whale is not deemed well enough to migrate the Alps, so will go around and meet the cyclists on the other side. To date they have reached Lyons and are having a well deserved rest day. My son Charles Bushe texted that he had spent a good day but things like washing needed to be done. They will have finished and be back in UK on September 8th. They deserve as much support as is possible. Even if you can only donate £1 then please do so and also importantly please pass on this message so that others can donate.
They are all good folks and already it is clear that they have bonded well together and are supporting each other when needed. For example the first day of their cycle down to Folkestone the temperature was well into the 30′s C, and there were obvious heat problems. A couple of them have had minor injuries such as a fall and tendonitis but they all keep going.
The links are below.
http://www.justgiving.com/Charles-Bushe for Charles
for the others they can all be accessed here.
So, even if it appears a very small sum of money do please donate and help them to collect a decent sum for Help for Heroes. Do not forget that all the weather we have had here they have had too and have continued to cycle! Even Charles 11 year old sister has donated 5£ of her pocket money. Charles also gave up his olympic tickets to see the weightlifting to go on this cycle. Many thanks and again please pass this on to all that you know.

Viagra has existed in the pharmaceutical market for about 20 years. It is one of the most popular medicines for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. Naturally, like any popular product, Viagra has got surrounded with myths for this time. Therefore, there are many misconceptions concerning Viagra. Below we will tell you about the most popular Viagra myths and debunk them. More information about canadian viagra 50/100mg read here: https://mycanadianhealthcaremall.com/product/viagra/
Page Contents
Some men believe that they will have a penile erection immediately after they use the pill. However, it is not true. Viagra, like any other medicine, begins to act after a while, because the gastrointestinal tract takes time to digest and absorb the main component of the drug. Usually onset of Viagra's effect is observed in 30-60 minutes after administration of the tablet.
However, in some cases, the appearance of the effect may be delayed and a man experiences the necessary result only in 90-120 minutes.
This applies especially to situations where a patient used very fatty foods which interfered with the absorption of the main component of Viagra.
Myth 2. Viagra Cures ED
Many people believe that the "blue" pill can cure ED. Unfortunately, Viagra does not cure ED, it can only treat it. Men with poor erections are likely to benefit from the use of Viagra (this medication is effective in about 80 percent of cases), however, this effect will last only for about 6 hours, sometimes more. Then everything will return to its place. To cure ED, it is necessary to eliminate the root cause of this disease and fight it.
The only case when Viagra can help in curing ED is a psychogenic form of the disease. Viagra can be prescribed to patients with psychogenic ED to improve the achievement of erection, while it also serves as a kind of psychological support for men. They know that they used a pill and therefore they have nothing to fear. Viagra-based therapy continues until the complete restoration of natural psychological defense mechanisms.
Myth 3. Viagra Causes Unwanted Erection
Many men think that if they use one pill, they immediately get a powerful erection that may be undesirable at a particular time. However, it is not true. Viagra does not cause a penile erection itself. This medication only promotes the proper course of natural mechanisms in the male organ. Sildenafil (the main component of the drug) improves blood flow as a result of the launch of a cascade of physiological and biochemical reactions that occur only if a man is sexually aroused. That is, Viagra works only when it is needed.
Note: in very rare cases, some men experience a serious side effect of Viagra which is called priapism. It implies a prolonged erection that lasts more than 4 hours (according to some sources, more than 6 hours) for no apparent reason and causes painful sensations. This side effect is common in men with predisposition to priapism.
This predisposition is caused by such diseases as:
- sickle cell anemia;
- multiple myeloma;
- leukemia;
- tumors of the central nervous system.
Myth 4. Viagra Is an Aphrodisiac
Aphrodisiacs are food products, natural supplements or drugs that increase libido. Usually the mechanism of their action is stimulating the synthesis of important sex hormones. However, Viagra does not belong to aphrodisiacs. It does not affect the level of hormones in the body.
Nevertheless, theoretically, Viagra can indirectly affect the libido. But this is possible after the man is already sexually aroused. Bad erections can muffle sex drive, whereas normal ones can stimulate sexual desire. In addition, according to a study by C. Dording et al. (2013), the long-term use of Viagra for the treatment of antidepressant-induced ED was associated not only with the enhancement of penile erection but also with improvement in libido.
Myth 5. Viagra Causes Addiction
Viagra does not contain substances that can affect the psyche. There is no physiological dependence on Viagra, and psychological one can occur very rarely. The drug has a high safety profile and is classified as non-habit forming when taken as directed. It works for a short time and does not stay long in the body.
However, some people develop psychological dependence. It should be noted that this phenomenon depends primarily on their psyche. Such people get used to Viagra and even after eliminating the causes of erectile dysfunction do not imagine their sex life without this anti-ED medication. However, such cases are rare. This issue has not even been considered in scientific research.
Myth 6. Viagra Does Not Work. I Tried the Medication and It Did Not Help Me
Do not forget that Viagra is not a food supplement but a chemical substance (medicine). Therefore, take the drug in accordance with the prescription of the doctor.
There can be several reasons for the ineffectiveness of the tablet:
- too low dosage* (for example, 25 mg);
- the man heavily ate before taking the pill and consumed fatty foods (a large amount of food, especially fatty one, slows down the absorption of the active agent in the body);
- lack of sexual stimulation.
To take Viagra, the doctor gives recommendations that you must follow rigorously. Due to this you will be able to achieve the maximum effect from the drug. However, if your partner absolutely does not attract you sexually, then the erection will not come. As we have noted above, Viagra does not create an artificial sexual attraction or erection.
Myth 7. Viagra is Very Dangerous to the Human Body
This is a common fairy tale, which has not been confirmed by anything to this day. A variety of tests conducted in most of the countries showed that the most common side effects of Viagra were headaches, blood rush to the head and heaviness in the stomach. However, you should always consult a health care provider before starting to take Viagra if you suffer from any serious illnesses (especially cardiovascular ones) and take any meds, especially prescription ones. This is due to the fact that Viagra can enter into dangerous interactions with certain medicines. It should be emphasized that the combination of Viagra and nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, is absolutely contraindicated. This can lead to a sharp and pronounced decrease in blood pressure and even to a lethal effect.
Thus, there is a big difference between people's ideas about Viagra and real facts. You need to know the truth in order to decide whether this medicine is suitable for you or not.

"Garden Of Fainting Stars" is an upcoming third studio album from an American art rock supergroup The Book Of Knots. Core of the band includes Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu, Frank Black, Bob Mould), Matthias Bossi (Skeleton Key, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum), Joel Hamilton (producer for Blackroc, Pretty Lights) and Carla Kihlstedt (Tin Hat Trio, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum).
The album includes plenty of guest contributions from the likes of Mike Patton, Blixa Bargeld and others.
The imagined utopias that await them at the other end of their fantastical journeys inevitably give way to the grim realization which mankind has faced again and again: at every hopeful turn, commonplace realities await us. A vast and empty universe, stretching far beyond infinity, capable of containing the countless imaginary creatures, civilizations, and otherwise terrestrial impossibilities that inhabit our dreams, dies in the fluorescent lighting of the laundry soap aisle at WalMart.
The Book Of Knots once again cast a wormless, rusty hook into the lifeless seas of the music industry, expecting to reap only sorrow.
01. Microgravity
02. Drosophilia Melanogaster (feat. Blixa Bargeld)
03. Moondust Must (feat. Nils Frykdahl and Dawn McCarthy)

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 isn't messing around with its trailers. After a kick-ass teaser trailer (not to mention a rock 'n' roll poster), we've now got a second look at the Marvel sequel. Once again, baby Groot is the star of the show as he does his best to blow up the rest of the Guardians (in the cutest way possible).
Other standout moments include the Guardians fighting what can only be described as a giant space squid, Star-Lord having the worse high school-style embarrassing moment of his life, and Groot taking down a bad guy more than ten times his size. Don't underestimate that little dude.
It's not the same trailer I saw at San Diego Comic Con - you can read all about that footage in my breakdown (opens in new tab) - so perhaps we'll see that in the new year.
Unsurprisingly, the trailer is already getting an overwhelmingly positive response from fans on Twitter...

Android Invasion
Original Airdate: 22 Nov, 1975
| Part
(A Corporal is walking through the undergrowth of
Tubney Wood as if in a trance. He stares blankly ahead, and his right
arm twitches from time to time. After he has passed, the Tardis
materialises in a small clearing by a clump of purple loose-strife and
some oak saplings. The Doctor steps out and takes a drink from a small
DOCTOR: He must have died instantly.
(The Doctor and Sarah enter a rural village,
played by East Hagbourne.)
[Fleur de Lys]
(It is open, but empty. There are two nearly full
pint jugs on the bar. Another jug and a glass of wine on a table, more
on another.)
[Back room]
DOCTOR: Extraordinary.
[Fleur de Lys]
(The previously dead soldier notices the door knob
turning, and pulls it open suddenly. Sarah nearly falls into the bar.
Everyone stares at her.)
[Space Defence Station reception]
(A modern concrete building - Nuclear Research
Establishment I think - with a giant radio telescope added and no
perimeter security. The Doctor strolls through the paved courtyard and
through the main sliding doors. He finds a blank armed soldier in the
reception area.)
(Sarah returns to the Tardis and is just putting
the key in the lock when she notices the artefact from the quarry
sitting nearby. She leaves the key in the lock and goes to investigate.
The Tardis starts up.)
[Crayford's office]
(A man with a patch over his left eye is startled
by the intercom. He runs into his office to answer the
permanently annoyed voice.)
[Crayford's office]
DOCTOR: Alistair? Alistair?
[Outside Crayford's office]
(The soldier appears at the end of the hallway. The
Doctor runs through the fire door and climbs a ladder to a loft hatch.)
[SDC roof]
(With alarms whooping, and soldiers firing rifles
from lower levels, the Doctor runs along the parapet and jumps down
onto a gravel area, where one then two white-suited figures are
pointing their fingers at him. Sarah sees all this.)
[Outside SDC cell]
(The Doctor is taken down a hallway with a
telephone on the wall at the entrance end, and put into a room with a
grille on the door. A figure bolts it from the outside then the pair
leave. Sarah sneaks up.)
Part Two
[Outside SDC cell]
(Nervous, Sarah looks up and the panel closes

glimpses of the constantly angry alien - a boot, a hand, a piece of

(A group of soldiers run along a hallway, past a
small red access door.)

DOCTOR: I didn't do anything. Just finding me on
the premises was enough to upset Crayford.
[Crayford's office]
CRAYFORD: There's no cause for alarm, Styggron.
The station is being thoroughly searched section by section. All exits
are covered and the guards have orders to shoot on sight.
[Space Defence Centre reception]
(The Doctor comes through a fire door and
recognises the figure with his back to them.)
[Crayford's office]
STYGGRON [OC]: You shall do as I say!

(Benton suddenly sags then bends forward, hand to

DOCTOR: So far so good.
(Sarah falls.)

STYGGRON: Report! Report!
[Styggron's lab]
(Two soldiers carry a covered stretcher in and put
it on the floor. They remove the cover to reveal Sarah.
[Fleur de Lys]
(The Doctor enters and tries the telephone on the
bar. No dialling tone. He goes to the internal door and opens it.)
[Kraal ship]
(The monitor shows the view through the darts
board, with the Doctor running his hand over it.)
[Crayford's office]
CRAYFORD: Yes, Styggron?
[Kraal ship]
STYGGRON: Yes. Are the preparations complete?
[Crayford's office]
CRAYFORD: There should have been sufficient time. I will check, Styggron.
[Kraal ship]
CHEDAKI: The data that was drained from the girl
shows the Doctor's long association with libertarian causes. His entire
history is one of opposition to conquest. While he lives, he is a

(The Doctor is investigating a cigar in an ashtray
with his magnifying glass. Then he moves to the brasses hanging on the
wall by the fireplace.)
[Village shop]
SARAH: They caught me, but I managed to escape. Listen, Doctor, I've found out their whole plan. No. No, the inn is one of their centres. That's why I didn't come there.
[Fleur de Lys]
DOCTOR: where are you, Sarah?
[Village shop]
SARAH: The village store. You can cut through to it behind the pub. Yes, I'll wait for you. But Doctor, be careful. Those robot mechanics are planted everywhere.
[Fleur de Lys]
DOCTOR: Don't worry, Sarah. Who'd notice me?
[Kraal ship]
CHEDAKI: If the androids were to fail in their
task, the Kraal invasion of Earth could not even begin. Suppose the
Doctor were to turn the androids against us? It would jeopardise the
whole operation!
[Village shop]
(The Doctor runs along a lane between quaint
cottages, then crosses over to AV & NG Kirby's shop, and
enters. A bell rings as the door opens and closes.)
[Styggron's lab]
(Crayford is on the table.)
(The Doctor and Sarah avoid a pair of white
mechanicals then continue to the small clearing.)
Part Three
(The Doctor turns and runs. The android Sarah sits up and shoots at him several times, but misses.)

from behind.)

together. Careless of you to lose his eye.

Part Four
[Crayford's ship - hold]
(The rocket hurtles up through the atmosphere
towards space. The Doctor taps Sarah's nose to wake her.)
[SDC Scanner room]
(A controller at the back, a row of three consoles
and one large map showing the orbital path of whatever they are
tracking at the time.)
[SDC reception]
(This time there is a receptionist at the desk. The
real RSM reports to the real Surgeon Lieutenant.)

MATTHEWS: Hello, XK-5, hello, XK-5. This is
Devesham Control calling XK-5. Do you read me, do you read me?

slightly then looks around.)

(Sarah finds the Tardis, with the key still in the

GRIERSON: You're cleared for landing, XK-5.

SARAH: Doctor, this way!
[Faraday's office]
FARADAY 2: Attention, attention.
[SDC reception]
FARADAY 2 [OC]: It has been confirmed the Doctor is attempting to sabotage our defence system. He is at large somewhere inside the complex.
FARADAY 2 [OC]: Saturation search will begin at

What's Holding Hideo Itami Back in NXT?
This was a banner week for Hideo Itami. He represented NXT at WrestleMania in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, main-evented Wednesday's show in a great match against Tyler Breeze and yes, he hit the GTS at a live event. It raises a question, though: What does the future hold for him?
Itami debuted in NXT back in September to a ton of fanfare. It could be argued that more was made of his signing than any wrestler (besides Sting) WWE has signed in years. Yet, while his run so far hasn't been terrible by any stretch, it's been somewhat lackluster for such a heavily hyped wrestler.
The first thing that has to be pointed out is that Hideo Itami is still adjusting – not just to the American style of wrestling, but to America itself. Triple H even pointed that out in a recent conference call, saying it's been a rough transition for Itami, and that he's still waiting for the light bulb to go off. He's not wrestling the same style he wrestled in Japan. If you watch him in NXT, you see some physicality out of him, but you'd almost be willing to classify him as more of a finesse guy. Anyone who has seen him in Japan knows that he was, to put it mildly, a complete ass-kicker. Whether that's just him toning it down while he picks up the nuances of the U.S. style, or something more, it seems like he's not showing everything he is capable of.
His character hasn't been fully developed either, and due to the language barrier, it's much harder for him to establish it. He's a somewhat generic babyface right now. The biggest pop he gets is when he attempts (or when he actually hits) the GTS. The feud with Breeze has helped somewhat, as it's given him someone to play off of, but at the same time, Tyler's outrageous personality has also put a spotlight on the fact that Itami is more or less playing the straight man in the feud.
This isn't to say that he's doing a terrible job so far. However, debuting at the same time as Finn Bálor and Kevin Owens, who have done so much so quickly, has made Itami look worse by comparison. Which is unfair if you think about it. NXT is still technically supposed to be developmental – just because some people progress faster than others shouldn't be viewed as a bad thing; it's more an inevitable byproduct of learning the ropes.
Editor's picks
So what is it going to take for, as Triple H said, the light bulb to go off? The first thing is that Itami needs to let loose. Whether it's him neutering himself while he focuses on learning a new style, or if it's something that he's being taught, he just doesn't look completely comfortable in the ring. He needs to stick out in some way, and while he's still adjusting to the language barrier, the best way to do that is let him cut loose in the ring. You saw brief glimpses of it in his two-out-of-three falls match against Breeze last night, and it was a good look for Itami: there simply isn't an ass-kicker of his size in the company right now.
The talent is there – even those who doubt him right now admit that. We've seen that the WWE wants him to succeed; he wouldn't have been at WrestleMania otherwise. It may simply be a matter of time before everything clicks, or it might take a little push, either in-ring or in his character. Either way, his path will be watched closely.
- Sami Zayn made his return to Full Sail for the first time since losing to Kevin Owens. He gave a brief, but passionate, promo about how he didn't recognize the Owens that showed up to TakeOver. He said he had a plan, which involved taking back his title and kicking Owens' ass (no one ever said it was an overly complex plan). Zayn's promos over the past six months have taken a huge step forward. He doesn't tend to do anything overly fancy on the mic, but the conviction and his connection with the crowd ensures that everything he says hits.
- Speaking of title shots, Rhyno ran through another wrestler, both in the ring then backstage with Zayn, when he said that he didn't come to wait in line for an NXT title shot. It seems like Zayn will spend some time with Rhyno before turning back towards Owens, which you would assume will happen at the next NXT TakeOver event. It's not a terrible decision if that's the way they're going. If TakeOver isn't until mid-May, that's another 6-7 weeks, so Zayn needs to have one small program before moving back to his personal feud with Owens. And any direction for Rhyno is a good thing at this point.
- Emma and Bayley's match was a clinic on how psychology in a match can matter more than the moves. Emma was working out what her new heel-ish character was, both in reality and in kayfabe. The way she regarded Bayley throughout the match was fascinating: she was patronizing (which cost her the match), arrogant and, ultimately, surprised. You can see the wheels turning. The way Bayley reacted was just as important though, as her struggle to stay happy, bubbly Bayley shone through. Both of these two will be fun to watch in upcoming weeks.
- The Lucha Dragons made what will likely end up being one of their final appearances in NXT in a losing effort to Blake and Murphy. They, of course, made their debut on Raw this week, where Kalisto became one of the most talked-about aspects of the show. The NXT tag division will certainly take a small hit without them there.
- Jason Jordan and Tye Dillinger had what I assume was their blowoff after their tag team broke up, which Jordan won. This was slightly awkward, simply because the fans had very little connection to either man, so the match didn't have much passion behind it. However, both of these guys are athletic, and both have plenty of potential.
- In a final bit of unfortunate news, at least for NXT fans, CJ Parker asked for – and received – his release this weekend. From one fan's perspective, this is a major bummer, because Parker was a highlight every time he was on screen ever since working out his environmental warrior gimmick. He didn't have too much chance to grow, as he was used primarily as a jobber for the past year, which probably contributed to his leaving. More than the loss for us, his departure sparked an outpouring of emotional messages from the rest of the NXT locker room, showing how much Parker was liked and respected there. Good luck to him in the future, and hopefully they can figure out a way to repackage that phenomenal gimmick.
