'WWE Vintage Collection' TV Report #267 – July 14th, 2013
Shown on Sky Sports in the U.K.
By Stephen Lyon.
This week's theme: Final week focusing on lightweight/cruiserweight wrestlers. Main event of today's show was Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn for the ECW TV title, from the ECW Living Dangerously ppv, March 1999. One other match on today's show was the Great Muta vs Brad Amstrong in a 2-out-of-3 falls match from WCW Saturday Night, May 1992.
Really good, two match show this week, with both matches (20 minutes plus) being shown nearly in their entirety.
The Show:
Show was hosted by Gene Okerlund alone this week.
1) The Great Muta defeated Brad Armstrong in a 2-out-of-3 falls match. This match aired on the May 30th, 1992 edition of 'WCW Saturday Night', taped at the Center Stage Theater, Atlanta, Georgia on May 11th, 1992. Announcers for this match were Jim Ross and, rather bizarrely, Riki Rachtman, the then-presenter of MTV's 'Headbanger's Ball' show. Rachtman would return to WCW tv in the late 1990s as a backstage interviewer and segment host in the dying days of WCW Monday Nitro. Here, he was a 'guest host' for the night (deemed an 'MTV celebrity' at the time) on WCW Saturday Night and provided commentary. He didn't say much of real note, but was fine in his role as an enthusiastic 'famous' fan providing guest commentary. Muta and Armstrong wrestled on the mat to begin with, exchanging armbars and headlock takedowns. At first the crowd chanted 'USA' in support of Armstrong, but eventually figured out Muta was a babyface here too, and began cheering his name the longer the match went on. After a commercial break, Muta began working over Armstrong's left leg. The speed of the match increased dramatically, with both guys suddenly trying for rolls up and nearfalls. Muta tried with an inside cradle on Armstrong three times in a row in quick succession, and succeeding in scoring the first fall with his third one.
After another commercial break, the match continued at pace. Ross on commentary put over how Armstrong's experience wrestling in Japan was helping him to run Muta close during this bout. Muta dropped a legdrop and used a snap suplex on Armstrong. Brad hit back, with a sunset flip in the corner for a nearfall. Muta threw chops and headbutts, and used an abdominal stretch into a pinfall attempt on Armstrong. The finish of the match saw Armstrong miss with a splash into the corner, and instead, Muta nailed him with his own handspring elbow splash. Muta then pinned Armstrong to win the match after connecting with a top rope moonsault. This was a really good match, and a rare occasion where a wrestler wins a 2 out of 3 falls match on tv by scoring 2 straight falls.
2) ECW TV Champion, Rob Van Dam (w/Bill Alfonso in his corner) defeated Jerry Lynn. This match took place at the 'ECW Living Dangerously 1999' pay-per-view event, held in Asbury Park, New Jersey on March 21st, 1999. Sole announcer for this match was Joey Styles. Match started at a brisk pace, as both RVD and Lynn dodged each others moves in an opening sequence, that concluded with the audience applauding both men. Lynn scored the early advantage, knocked RVD to the outside, and then connecting with a somersault plancha off the ring apron and on to RVD. Things then got wilder, as RVD was tossed into the crowd and Lynn did a springboard crossbody block on to RVD amongst the fans. Back in the ring, with both men recovered, RVD attempted a springboard move off the top rope, only for Lynn to catch him with a dropkick, knocking him to the outside again. Lynn pursued RVD outside the ring, but RVD recovered enough to dump Lynn over the guardrail, draping his body over the rail and then allowing RVD to deliver a springboard guillotine legdrop off the guardrail and on to Lynn.
After a commercial break, Lynn was deep into the crowd, allowing RVD to do a springboard plancha off the guardrail and on to Lynn. Back in the ring, RVD's manager Bill Alfonso began getting involved, tossing a chair to RVD for use. RVD placed Lynn in an inverted surfboard on the mat, then released the hold by dropping Lynn face first on to a chair in the ring. Lynn battled back, and moments later, caught RVD with a sunset flip off the turnbuckles, with RVD's head smashing against the chair on the mat. Lynn followed this up by blocking a Northern Lights suplex and instead delivering an inverted DDT on a chair for a nearfall, and then legdropping RVD on to the chair too. After another commercial break, Lynn tried for a top rope move, but Alfonso held on to his leg. This delay allowed RVD to recover and kick Lynn off the turnbuckle, causing him to fall through a ringside table. RVD dragged Lynn back into the ring, and attempted a split legged moonsault, only for Lynn to hold a chair up, blocking the move. Lynn scored another nearfall, using a German suplex. Lynn gave RVD a high impact DDT for a nearfall, and then the bell rang, signifying the 20 minute time limit had expired. Lynn pleaded for 'five more minutes', with the crowd loudly chanting for this too. After RVD agreed, the referee restarted the match. Lynn scored a nearfall after a piledriver, and then the finish saw RVD hit the Van Daminator, followed by the Five Star Frog Splash off the top rope for the win. RVD and Jerry Lynn enjoyed a legendary rivalry over the years and although not the best match they ever had together, this was yet another really good match between the pair.
Closing thoughts: This was a really fun show, featuring two really good matches. RVD being featured on this show was great timing, considering he returns to WWE on tonight's Money in the Bank ppv. In the U.K., this Vintage show is repeated tonight at 12 midnight, directly before the ppv airs live at 1am, on the same channel (Sky Sports 3), so it will be interesting to see how the RVD of 2013 compares to the RVD of 1999.

I actually think it would be better with a wilted flower.
It seems that most people are taking the stance that the woman ought to match the beautiful flower. Why can't the flower match the woman instead? Why does a rose need to be perfect?
Granted, that wouldn't make it a very glamorous photo. But it would turn it into an image of a woman who is trying desperately to cling to her youth and her sexual attractiveness. And as that sort of image, all the awkward posing becomes part of the image, and not just mistakes.
But now we're talking about Diane Arbus, and maybe MPM doesn't like Arbus.
No! Your repulsive skin blurring of the OP's photo is GWC. We're trying to improve the image— not make it ugly.
All that work won't fix the image's biggest problem: that expression.

46 U.S. Code § 55118 - Foreign railroads whose road enters by ferry, tugboat, or towboat
A foreign railroad, whose road enters the United States by ferry, tugboat, or towboat, may own and operate a vessel not having a coastwise endorsement in connection with the water transportation of the passenger, freight, express, baggage, and mail cars used by that road, together with the passengers, freight, express matter, baggage, and mails transported in those cars. However, the foreign railroad is subject to the same restrictions imposed by law on a vessel of the United States entering a port of the United States from the same foreign country. Except as otherwise authorized by this chapter, the ferry, tugboat, or towboat may not, under penalty of forfeiture, be used in the transportation of merchandise between ports or places in the United States to which the coastwise laws apply.

Candidates can officially file for the March 7th primaries in Texas Saturday, but there's one familiar name that won't be on the ballot.
Pete Laney will not seek re-election. The Hale Center Democrat was first elected to the Texas House in 1973. He was the House Speaker from 1993 until 2002 when the Republicans became the majority. Laney has played an integral role in securing funding for Texas Tech University.
Texas Tech Chancellor David Smith tells NewsChannel 11 Laney's service will have a lasting and positive impact. And fellow House member, Delwin Jones, also commented on Friday's announcement.
"It's a big loss to all of us because 33 years of building contacts throughout state government are real helpful to use in this area and losing those contacts will dilute our strength of representation," said Jones.
A Plainview businessman could succeed Laney. Jim Landtroop has announced his intent to run for District 85 on the Republican ticket.

Word on the street is that the high profile Conservative Political Action Conference will have a piñata in the shape of Speaker Nancy Pelosi for attendees to wack with a stick. No joke.
The GOP-dominated Utah legislature is in the process of passing an affirmative action ban.
Slate tells us that Fox News' Megyn Kelly is a "post-feminist news babe." I think that says it all.
While we've already known this to be true, now we have hard evidence that Title IX and girls' involvement in sports have positive, long-term effects on their education, health and work.
6 Comments
Ok.. would somebody please tell me why the GOP hates Pelosi? I honestly don't understand, even after watching Malkin and Beck and Hannity and O'Reilly say how awful she is. I just want to know why they hate her so much. Especially enough to make a Pelosi pinata…
That Slate article could have been written in one sentence. "Megyn Kelly, you're so DREAMY!" It reads like a fan's love letter. Why did that get editorial space? Gah.
on the affirmative action ban: wack. I hope it doesn't pass.
On the pinata: That seems more like a playful jab to me. And the focus of the jab is on their political rivalry with her, not her sex. If someone came up with a game called "Rush Limbaugh whack-a-mole" I'd be the first one in line to play it.
What's with the FOX Network and their hiring of women who look like they've stepped out of the pages of MAXIM, dressed like a combo of the Cosmo Girl and Joan Crawford, and seem to all have their genes worked on by The Stepford Men's Association and Josef Mengle from "Boys From Brazil"? Can someone tell me if FOX could be discriminating based on looks?
My boyfriends and I have made the observation that women affiliated with FNC are always blonde, pretty, or both. Ingram, Coulter, Kelly, Van Sustren, and Gretchen Carlson are all blond, and all but Van Sustren are stereotypically pretty. Malkin is not blond or white, but she's still pretty. Then there are the red-head and the brunette who I cannot remember their names who are both pretty. Plus Palin, who won a pageant once.
Thanks!!!!! This has nothing to do with nothin' but, MSNBC women are very beautiful, though in a more homogenous way. Black, redhead, over 40, criminal hot, and damned intelligent. The difference is that they're natural and that their genes haven't been fixed by the Third Reich

These books by Hermann Hesse I have quoted maybe 5 times today… I am going to have to read them. Just from the quotes, I find myself unable to stop reading and sharing.
"During deep meditation it is possible to dispel time, to see simultaneously all the past, present, and future, and then everything is good, everything is perfect, everything is Brahman." (1922)
"There is truth, my boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist." (1943)
Why have I never before heard about this man and this book?! Jaja. Well, in a way I already have known the book and the author. But again I will listen.
P.S. In this man, I see myself. Someone in constant search of the truth. I know the taste.

Gold Mouse
Gold Mice are apparitions of mice found in the game Luigi's Mansion. They come out when Luigi examines one of five pieces of cheese with his Game Boy Horror and then scurry around the room before escaping through the wall. Gold Mice also randomly appear in five predetermined rooms or hallways 20% of the time Luigi enters the room or hallway, for a total of ten mice in all throughout the mansion. If Luigi manages to suck one up before it escapes, a large amount of money will spray from the nozzle of the Poltergust 3000, which can include valuable treasures like Stones. Unlike with Speedy Spirits, if Luigi fails to catch a Gold Mouse, he is given other opportunities to do so, such as re-scanning a piece of cheese after exiting and re-entering a room.
This is a list of the locations of each Gold Mouse in the game and the rewards earned for capturing them.
Within cheese pieces[edit]
Without cheese[edit]
Some of the Mice, though, are found in rooms (or hallways) without any cheese. When the player enters some specific rooms, there is a 20% chance of a Gold Mouse to appear.

"So pleased with my order. Will definitely order again. Paper quality, print quality are outstanding. And the design templates were easy to use, made customizing so simple."

"I am very pleased with the graduation "Thank you's"---they are beautiful! I know my graduating niece will appreciate them also."
"Picture quality was excellent and the design was really cute. I got a lot of compliments that it was a personalized thank you. Delivery came way before they said I would receive it, so that was also great."
"It was nice that the complimenting Graduation Thank You Card that matched the Graduation Announcement and the Return Address Labels. I liked that we were able to match this Card with the font to the same font and the color that was used on the graduation announcement. I liked that this announcement had the ability to hold two photos. This thank you card was a great accompaniment to the matching graduation announcement."

Modern Art
I'm a big fan of street art. It just makes our streets much more interesting and full of experiences. NeSpoon, an artist from Warsaw, Poland works in several different mediums such as spray paint, concrete, macramé and ceramics, but almost always incorporates a lace pattern in her projects. She explains "What interests me in art is the expression of positive emotions. On the sensual level "Thoughts" are a study of delicacy." (via)

I shared it on our Facebook page and decided to share it here as well showing all those amazing pictures by Australian photographer Lisa Tomasetti. Lisa Tomasetti has worked as a visual artist and film stills photographer for the past 23 years. Her eye for cinematic drama comes through in her dance photography, a collection of images in which she is able to capture the beautiful elegance of ballet dancers set against the more rough, gritty urban city streets of Paris, Tokyo, and New York.(via)

The Lullaby Factory is an amazing design project by hackney-based Studio Weave that is near and dear to my heart. In my previous life, I worked in a hospital with ill children, so I can understand first hand the wonderful impactful a project such as the Lullaby Factory has on hospitalized children and their families. There always seem to be those awkward spaces around hospitals where you look out the window into a small dingy courtyard or emergency generator. Well, Studio Weave, along with Structure Workshop, AB3 Workshops and Jessica Curry Studio, capitalized on one of these spaces located in a rear courtyard of London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and transformed it into a place blossoming with imagination and creativity. This is a secret and beautiful space that can only be viewed from inside the hospital and its song can only be heard through a few special pipes or by tuning into its special radio frequency. It is a place that sparks the imagination and supports the human spirit while bringing comfort to those in need.

I discovered British modern artist Denimu aka Ian Berry last week while visiting a gallery in Hampstead, London. I immediately fell in love with his art and was so impressed when I realized that they were all made out of denim. The guy is obsessed with denim, obsessed to the point where he even changed his name to Denimu and made a career out of turning jeans into works of art. Ian conjures remarkably detailed portraits and urban landscapes using nothing more than discarded jeans. Over many weeks he cuts, stitches and glues using only the varying shades of the fabric to provide contrast and shadow. The effect is extraordinary.

During NYC Fashion Week we attended the Project Runway Designer Reunion sponsored by HP and Intel at Skylight West. Project Runway Season 11 premiered January 24 at 9/8c. All of this season's participants seemed to be at the reunion. The evening kicked off with a VIP champagne reception co-sponsored by the Style Coalition and HP. It included a panel discussion regarding the impact and influence of technology on the fashion industry. The entire night was filled with examples of technological and social media interfaces and their applications within the fashion community. After the panel discussion, it was up to the party where we chatted with Project Runway participants past and present. The models and clothes were beautiful and it was all great fun! Here are just a few snapshots of our wonderful evening.

Engaging, surprising and bursting with color barely touch the surface when describing the paintings of artist Lee Clarke. Often using a focal point with radiating bands of color, his work pulls you in while at the same time creating a spatial depth that allows one to move in and around his canvases. Clarke's playful motif upon closer inspection reveals a well thought out variation of surfaces and techniques that engage the viewer whether directly in front of the painting or twenty feet across the room. Look for his most recent work on his website www.leeclarke.ca or at UGallery.com.

These beautiful fashion illustrations are by artist, Garance Doré. She began her career as a fashion illustrator with the desire to produce timeless, classic, beautiful illustrations and from my perspective she has far surpassed that goal. Her work has appeared in fashion magazines (Elle, Vogue Paris, etc.) and in conjunction with such well known designers as Dior, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, Tiffany & Co., etc. She is also a photographer and fashion blogger with a dedicated following. Her work has been exhibited throughout the world, including New York, London and Sydney. Both Art Prints and posters (for a modest price) are currently available for purchase. So if you are a lover of fashion, Garance Doré may be of interest to you.

RICHMOND (WRIC)—The summer of 2013 was all about celebrity pregnancies, from Kim Kardashian to Princess Kate.
Women around the world learned you can be hospitalized from severe morning sickness while Kate Middleton was pregnant with Prince George. Some celebrities went extreme—like Kim Kardashian and her curiosity with placenta.
These trends are sending expectant mothers here in Central Virginia to their doctors with questions.
Two new birthing trends are becoming increasingly popular in this area. One is skin-to-skin contact, in which the newborn is placed directly on the mother's chest for at least an hour.
"Studies have shown that skin-to-skin contact helps stabilize the baby's cardio repository status [and] can help them maintain their temperature, maintain their blood sugars," said Dr. Kimberly McMurrow of Virginia Physicians for Women.
Gina Gentile just gave birth to a baby girl two months ago and used the skin-to-skin contact method.
"It's a very powerful first moment with your child—the first time you hold your child," she said, adding that it also helps with breastfeeding—a daunting task for many new mothers.
"They said if you just put the baby on you, facing you, they wiggle until they're in 'cause they can smell the breast milk," Gentile said. "And sure enough, she wiggled herself down until she was in the breastfeeding position."
Hospitals in the greater Richmond area know the importance of skin-to-skin contact. Bon Secours has what's called "Magic Hour," which leaves time for both mom and baby to form that special bond.
"That trend has increased to the point where about 82 percent of the NICU utilizes skin-to-skin," said Karen Wharton, a physician at Bon Secours. "This one hour is gonna make such a huge difference … through the child's entire childhood."
Another trend sweeping across delivery rooms is delayed umbilical cord clamping. Gentile did this when her daughter was born; she waited just over a minute before clamping her cord.
"We usually cut the umbilical cord within 15 to 20 seconds after birth," McMurrow said. "There are patients now that are requesting to not clamp and cut the cord immediately, because there could be potential benefits."
For Gentile, there were benefits; she didn't do the delayed clamping with her firstborn, Sienna, who ended up with jaundice, or yellowing of the skin from not getting enough iron. She opted for the delayed clamping technique with her newborn, Savannah.
"She was so pink right after birth; I noticed the difference in just their skin colors," Gentile said. "I said, 'Well, maybe that has something to do with the delayed cord clamping, where she has significantly more blood in her system and iron levels than Sienna did with her iron levels.'"
As with all new birthing trends, expectant mothers should do their research and talk to their doctors to find out what is best for them and their little ones.

Tips for People Afraid to Fly
Traveling by airplane is becoming a common part of our lives. Whether we are flying to another city for business or embarking on a long-awaited vacation, air travel is everywhere. Many people today are afraid to fly or have a certain phobia around air travel that may even escalate to a panic attack.
What you should know about aerophobia (another term for fear of flying) is that it can be traced back to many potential root fears–not just being afraid to fly. Some people may have a fear of falling, while others may have claustrophobia due to the cramped conditions that usually accompany flying. Some may have difficulty letting go and trusting that the plane will fly safely; others may be impacted by news reports of horrifying crashes. There are truly limitless possible reasons why someone may be afraid to fly.
Discover How to Overcome Your Fear of Flying
Discover How to Overcome Your Fear of Flying
So, what are some tips that can make flying more of an enjoyable experience?
Firstly, it is helpful to have a good understanding of your fear and exactly what aspect of flying triggers it. Do you know the root cause of this phobia? Does it go back to some sort of trauma you experienced as a child? The more you know about your fear, the better shape you will be in when it comes to confronting it and dealing with it so you can put an end to that sense of anxiety that can come with flying.
If you feel that learning more could help put your mind at ease, then by all means do that. If your fear comes from the fact that you don't clearly understand how airplanes work and how they can stay in the air, then reading through a few books that explain this in plain English could be beneficial for you.
Seek out support. You can turn to your friends or family, if you feel they will be sympathetic. There are also a good deal of internet discussion forums where you can share your experiences with others and they can offer understanding advice. If you can afford to spend a little money, you can also seek the help of a professional therapist or psychologist in your area to help your area.
Look into other options too. There are some good courses out there on the internet that you can download and work through at your own leisure. Often people that are afraid to fly can find useful tools and techniques in courses and e-books geared toward panic and anxiety attacks.
If you're afraid to fly, you should know that there are countless people out there that have managed to overcome the problem and so can you. Flying should be an exciting experience whisking you away to your next vacation or sending you to a new city to take care of important business, and it can be exciting once you start to master your fears and control your anxiety.
Discover How to Travel with Ease
Are you looking for a proven and effective way to overcome your fear of flying?

NEW ORLEANS—On Thursday, December 16, 2010, District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's office, after conducting a coordinated investigation with the NOPD, obtained a racketeering indictment against eleven members of a street gang for conspiring to sell illegal narcotics in furtherance of gang activities.
The gang - known as "6th Ward D-Block" or "D-Block" - is centralized in the 2600 Block of Dumaine. The organization operates primarily in Zone J of the 1st District, in an area roughly bounded by North Broad Street, Esplanade Avenue, North Claiborne Avenue, and Orleans Avenue. The organization distributes controlled substances, primarily cocaine and marijuana, but has previously dealt in heroin and ecstasy.
The Louisiana Racketeering Statutes (i.e. La. Rev. Stat. 15:1351 et seq.) have not been used in this manner by local law enforcement to prosecute a street gang in at least a decade.
In response to this indictment, District Attorney Leon A. Cannizzaro said, "As you can see, cooperation and coordination between the NOPD and the DA's office is netting results. This is another progressive reform of our criminal justice system, and we intend to use all the tools in our arsenal to pursue these urban terrorists and take them off of our streets. As it is written in Louisiana law, 'it is the right of every person… to be secure and protected from fear, intimidation, and physical harm caused by the activities of violent groups and individuals.' I want to thank Chief Serpas and the NOPD for their hard work and assistance in this endeavor. Furthermore, I want to let the citizens of New Orleans know that I intend to protect this fundamental right and that we will not limit ourselves to fighting our crime problem one defendant at a time."
Presently ten of the eleven indicted members of this gang are in custody. The court has set a bond of $250,000 on each individual.

The Labyrinth was inspired by an ancient symbol for harmony and unity, the Vesica Pisces. Two symmetrical circles overlap forming an eye-shaped center enclosing the Common Ground shared by the
circles. Following the events of 9-11, designer Connie Fenty created this pattern to be walked for reflection and meditation.
Evidence of existing Labyrinth patterns date as far back as 1300 B.C. Although its history is mysterious, it is believed that the Labyrinth was used by many ancient cultures including: Greek, Peruvian, Native American and European. This pattern was chosen to represent a part of Playwicki Farm History when the Native Americans and the European settlers lived together in harmony.
The Labyrinth was completed in the spring of 2007. It was built largely by community volunteers with assistance from the Lower Southampton Public Works Department. Local businesses who contributed materials were: Fizzano Brothers Concrete Products, Castle Garden Center, Feeney's and The Brickman Group Ltd., with funding provided by the Playwicki Farm Foundation.
The Labyrinth is dedicated in memory of Sue McKeon, former Lower Southampton Township Manager, Supervisor and President of the Playwicki Farm Foundation, whose love of Playwicki Farm helped preserve the property for the community's enjoyment and made this Labyrinth possible.

Didn't Goodell send out a memo to every coach last week warning them about getting after the refs? And of all coaches, Belichick is the one who doesn't comply.
Goodell must be sh!tting himself right now.
It was not assault at all .. He tugged his arm
Didn't Goodell send out a memo to every coach last week warning them about getting after the refs? And of all coaches, Belichick is the one who doesn't comply.
Goodell must be sh!tting himself right now.
Make no mistake this was assault on the person of the Referees. You think that Andy Dufresne could have approached Captain Hadley with a tug on the arm like that? Nooooooo..... I think not. Sixty days in the hole!
Inappropriate touching of the referee. Is there no end to the filth coming out of New England?
It wasn't a big deal as far as the contact. And the ref probably should've turned and seen what he wanted. Still, you have to fine him, but to expect more than that is just homerism.
Did anyone else watch Belichick's post-game press conference though? The guy seriously looked as if he had a vodka and Xanax cocktail before walking out there. It was just strange the way he looked even when he wasn't answering questions.
They will burn all tapes and give him another shot to win the super bowl.
The referee will probably be forced to apologize for not having immediately genuflected in the presence of the king.
The ball clearly crossed the plane of the uprights inside the post Good call there No reason to get all pissy and assault the ref because your team could not get a stop when they needed one Shameful
That was a referee?
By the way, settling with the real refs now makes the NFL look awful as far as I'm concerned. It's nice that they went half-arsed regarding this problem for so long but NOW they're going to go all out to settle this after the golden boys in New England disagree with the way a game was called? Not sure how the people in Baltimore would feel about that considering what happened to them last week.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Here's what happened last night: Bill Belichick wanted to ask the officiating crew if the kick, which appeared to go over right upright, was going to be reviewed. As the officials continued to walk past him without acknowledgement, Belichick grabbed the last one to get his attention. "Bill just wanted an explanation," the source said, "and no one would answer him."
Boo F'in hoo
I don't blame Bellicheat at all. The "officiating" in that game was a disgrace for both teams. I thought Harbaugh was about to punch the ref and side judge.
Pats want back those zebras that gave them the tuck rule and let em snow plow the field for the game winning FG. These replacement cats will just let them lose two weeks in a row without doing anything.
I don't think Belichick really did anything wrong.
if rex did this it would be all over the news and the media would be beating it like a drum.
plus, I just think he was trying to get Kraft's money back.
Have to admit that the entire stadium chanting "Bullsh1t" gave me a chuckle last night. It probably made the refs hold onto their whistles a little bit in the remaining time too. I am sure the refs are not immune to that rather direct form of criticism.

In mathematics it is the symbol of change (the delta), strength (the strongest shape in geometry) and ideal proportions (in equilateral triangles). Architects/builders depend on equilateral triangles in construction because (when made from rigid materials) no matter how much pressure is exerted on all three sides it will never distort, collapse or weaken. It also serves as the symbol for fire and assertiveness.
The long story, short….. for me its strength under immense change and pressure. Staying both passionate and compassionate. Being assertive and taking life by the balls, not sitting around waiting for change but making it. Embracing it all. Staying balanced: in work, in life and in love.
My arm party today= solid.
So beautiful, can't wait to get tattooed again in November.
always a plus when your nails match your arm party.

Postgame update: Slowey, Gardenhire and SpanPosted on May 27th, 2009 – 11:28 PM
By Joe Christensen
With Dice-K slowing tonight's game to a crawl, and Kevin Slowey fighting his own battles with runners on base, it was easy to get the perception that Slowey was being overly laborious, too.
That's not how Slowey's outing was viewed in the Twins' clubhouse, however.
"Slowey likes a faster-paced game, we do know that," Manager Ron Gardenhire said. "But sometimes you need to adjust. That's part of growing up as a pitcher in this league. He did a good job of that. I thought he battled pretty good. I think most of that work comes from that [Boston] lineup over there. It just doesn't seem like there's a break up and down, so you have to be really good."
It struck me after leaving the clubhouse that I have watched the Red Sox and Yankees play countless games like this on TV, where innings seem to take forever, with hitter after hitter grinding through at-bats.
Well, the Twins now have a lineup that can grind down pitchers, too. So there might be more games like this, and their pitchers will have to answer the call like Slowey did.
(*) Gardenhire said he was kicking himself in the dugout for letting LHP Jose Mijares face Kevin Youkilis in the eighth inning.
Mijares had retired the first four batters he faced, but Gardenhire had RHP Matt Guerrier ready to face the righthanded hitting Youkilis and Jason Bay. Mijares walked Youkilis, but Guerrier came in and got Bay to ground into an inning-ending double play.
"It was kind of stupid on my part, but when you see a guy like Mijares throwing the heck out of the ball like that, I thought let's see what he does here," Gardenhire said. "He walks him, and puts us in situation. Sometimes your mind does funny things when the guy's throwing the heck out of the ball. I was kicking myself in the dugout, and then Matty got that double play. I told Matty, 'Way to pick me up.' "
(*) Denard Span went 4-for-4 with four singles and a walk. He scored two runs, but that's a lot of time standing up, if you count his time in the outfield.
"My legs are killing me right now," Span said, laughing. "I'm going to be honest with you. I was on the base five times today, running all over the place. But it's fun that way. I'd rather have it that way than being on the bench making right turns instead of left turns."
(*) Check back in the morning for Thursday's starting lineups, as the Twins try to win the four-game series.

Survey Results
Recruit critical access hospital (CAH) quality improvement (QI) staff to participate in the Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP) peer learning collaborative focused on improving core measures and Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) data.
Projected Outcomes:
- November 2013 full-day educational MBQIP peer learning event focused on improving HCAHPS scores and outpatient core measures
- February 2014 MBQIP peer learning webinar focused on benchmarking highest MBQIP measures from two Idaho CAHs and presenting their best practices; sharing effective strategies to improve core measures
- April 2014 full-day educational MBQIP peer learning event focused on outpatient core measures and pharmacy Phase 3 measures
- June 2014 MBQIP peer learning webinar focused on benchmarking highest MBQIP measures from two Idaho CAHs and presenting their best practices; sharing effective strategies to improve core measures
- Idaho CAH core measure and HCAHPS data compared to baseline data to capture improvement
- Learning assessments implemented immediately post full-day workshop and four months post-event to capture immediate and sustained knowledge change
Use Flex Monitoring Team (FMT) reports to identify struggling CAHs within state to determine where to provide targeted technical assistance (TA) to assist in improved operational performance.
Projected Outcomes:
- Improvement in financial indicators related to revenue cycle analysis: average days in net account receivable, average days in gross accounts receivable, average days cash on hand, and operating margin
- Project will also be evaluated regarding staff participation in activities and the percent of recommendations made during the assessment which are implemented at 90 days and sustained at 12 months post assessment period
- Identifying two CAHs at risk based on FMT data is an on-going activity
Develop a plan to establish a community health emergency medical services (EMS) pilot program in partnership with a CAH. The plan will be similarly structured to rural community paramedicine initiatives but align with the scope of practice for advanced emergency medical technicians (EMTs).
Projected Outcomes:
- CAH, community EMS, and stakeholders will identify resources and develop a plan to implement a community health EMS project that meets community needs. Idaho currently has two community paramedicine projects, however, most CAHs do not have paramedic level services. This effort will identify resources, strategies, and educational needs aligned with the Advanced EMT scope of practice that will decrease readmission rates, reduce unnecessary emergency department visits, and improve community health.
- Develop a plan to implement a project that meets the needs of Idaho CAHs that lack paramedic services.
There are three regional, independent, non-profit networks in Idaho that the State Office of Rural Health & Primary Care partners with. These networks are made up of CAH and prospective payment system (PPS) hospitals and receive some Flex funds to implement projects related to Core Area 2: Support for Operational and Financial Improvement. In the current Flex year, these networks will provide board education and leadership development for the CAH member hospitals. The education will improve the knowledge and skills for CAH boards of directors.
MBQIP peer learning collaborative was created in FY 2012 by the State Office of Rural Health. This collaborative is made up of CAH quality improvement staff to support their efforts to report core measure and HCAHPS data for MBQIP. Please refer to the initiative described in Core Area 1: Support for Quality Improvement.
Board Education and Leadership Development measures:
- The number and percent of CAHs actively participating in CAH governance events
- The number of CAHs developing financial components in their board education programs
- Difference in CAH board members' and leaders' pre- and post-education knowledge levels
- The number of CAH leaders and managers participating in financial education workshops and collaboratives
MBQIP peer learning collaborative measures:
- See projected outcomes from Core Area 1 activities
Qualis Health (QIO), Idaho Hospital Association (IHA) and the State Office of Rural Health meet in-person for monthly meetings to determine how best to collaborate on quality improvement initiatives for Idaho.
Measures from the Qualis Health, IHA, and the State Office of Rural Health collaborative include the number of CAHs reporting to Hospital Compare and MBQIP and outcomes focus on improvement to quality core measure data in the state aggregate as reported on MBQIP.
Creating the Idaho MBQIP peer learning collaborative series to "Move the Needle" for Idaho CAHs with regard to core measure data. These events took place via webinar, one-day regional workshops, and a one-day interactive presentation at the State Office of Rural Health annual conference. The State Office of Rural Health contracted with a consultant to provide best practices for CAHs with regard to inpatient, outpatient and HCAHPS data.

Fairytale Rose manicure
My nails today, inspired by the most awesome rose nail art ever over at Emerald Sparkled, and the flakie sponging technique I first saw on Pshiiit. Also maybe the Snow White themed everything soaked into my subconscious.
For my sponged nails, I used Essie Wicked as a base coat, and then sponged from the tips upwards with a teensy bit of Nfu Oh 51 and China Glaze Ruby Pumps. It is super fiery and vampy and sparkly in person.
Under the roses, I started with a base of OPI's Designer De Better, which is a silvery foil with subtle rosy undertones that go very well with the other colours in this mani. I just blobbed on some rose shapes with a basic red, then used my dotting tools and a black striper brush to make the black outlines and add some different red polish highlights.
- colorschanging said: That's gorgeous! And I always wondered how you get the gradient thing with glitter tips. Sponging is the answer?

If wanting Marc "Coon Rippy" Brown to keep his pet raccoon is wrong, I don't want to be right. I'm sorry, I know it's illegal to keep wild animals. It's dangerous and can be bad for them. But have you seen this guy?
Let me back up a bit. The self-professed hillbilly from Gallatin, Tennessee, recently took the Internet by storm when a video of him dancing with his pet raccoon, Gunshow, to Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools" went viral. There he is in his overalls, jamming out and dancing with abandon while his raccoon dances with him ... sort of. He followed that up with a video of him showering with another pet raccoon, Rebekah. They're both all sorts of weird and wonderful.
Only not everyone agrees about the wonderful part.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency got wind of his unusual pets and stepped in to enforce the law. While Gunshow has since passed away, they confiscated Rebekah. They say it's illegal to keep wild animals as pets and took her to a wildlife rehabilitation center.
Now poor Brown is left coonless, and he wants his pet back. He's appealing to the governor and has taken to the media to try and get his story out there. He says that while he did break the law, plenty of people do so all the time, and just because he posted a cool video, he shouldn't be punished. In an interview with Vice, he said:
My argument with them was that if this is the case, then every elementary school and biology class in high school and college is in violation if they've got tadpoles in an aquarium or a garter snake, or even if a child brings a box turtle to show-and-tell.
But when you have a raccoon on your shoulder in the shower and you make a viral video, if you've already had one viral video under your belt, it kind of draws a little attention to yourself.
As a former animal control officer himself, he says that not everyone should have a pet raccoon. He says you have to have some experience and know what you're doing.
You can't just raise it if you haven't a clue what to do. And I happen to know. It's just one of my areas of expertise. Some people are experts in electricity. Some people are experts at working on automobiles. Some people are experts at heart surgery. I happen to be an expert at whispering to 'coons, I guess.
So no, he's not setting the best example, but if ever there was an exception to be made to this law, this has got to be it. Here he is making his plea to get Rebekah back. See if you don't agree.
Do you think he should get Rebekah back?
Image via YouTube
This is awful, yes it's a little dangerous, but that's his problem, not mine, the animals have obviously been raised and have come to trust and love them as family, why would you take them away? It's not like she can be returned to the wild after all this time, this is horrible, that poor man:(
This is a victimless crime! Give the poor man his raccoon!
Awww, this is just wrong! That man is a good pet owner, the racoon is happy & loved, and taking the PET away is just WRONG!
There's a petition people can sign..
So it's perfectly legal to own BIG wild animals...such as tigers, lions, cougars, bears, emu, etc but this guy can't have a raccoon? Really...?
Give him back his racoon. This is similar in taking a child away from your family. Rebekah is probably stressed out and abandonment because she has been taken away from her enviornment and the family who cared for her.
