The film, like Morris' other works, is unnarrated and the stories are told purely through interviews. It is divided into two main sections. The first concerns Floyd "Mac" McClure and his lifelong quest to allow pets to have a graceful burial. McClure's business associates and his competitor, a manager of a rendering plant, are interviewed. [...]posted by Rhaomi at 10:37 AM on February 16, 2012
Gates of Heaven launched Morris' career and is now viewed as a classic. In 1981, Roger Ebert named it one of the ten best films of the year. The film's acclaim stems less from its coverage of pet cemeteries than how Morris builds on this base to explore issues such as mortality and the afterlife.


text: Einstein's Brain (…and the neuroscientist who studied it) Marian Diamond began her graduate work in 1948 and was the first female student in the department of anatomy at UC Berkeley. The first thing she was asked to do when she got there was sew a cover for a large magnifying machine (?!?!?!?!). "They didn't know what to do with me because they weren't used to having a woman. They thought I was there to get a husband. I was there to learn." Such challenges were not uncommon. Years later she requested tissue samples of Albert Einstein's brain from a pathologist in Missouri. He didn't trust her. "He wasn't sure that I was a scientist. This is one thing that you have to face being a woman. He didn't think that I should be the one to be looking at Einstein's brain." Marian persisted for three years, calling him once every six months, and received four blocks of the physicist's brain tissue (about the size of a sugar cube). Her research found that Einstein had twice as many glial cells as normal males — the discovery caused an international sensation as well as scientific criticism. What are glial cells? Previously, scientists believe that neurons were responsible for thinking and glial cells were support cells in the brain. Now Researchers believe the glial cells play a critical role in brain development, learning, memory, aging and disease.

I gained 55 with my first & lost it all w/out trying (but it took 18 mos!) I only breastfed for 9 mos so maybe I'll go longer this time. I don't really worry about the weight since I know it will come off (eventually) but I feel like a giant cow every single day. That part sucks!
Posted 12/10/2012
At 20 weeks it was 8 pounds.

Where Has All The Music Gone?
First off, Sorry!
The transmitter on our main frequency (94.1) decided it was time for it's summer vacation. Never fear our intrepid engineering staff is on the scene trying to get everything back up and working.
In the meantime this would be the perfect time to check out the three other methods you can listen to STAR 94 FM.
First, over the air on our second frequency 105.7.
Second, on your smartphone using the TuneIn Radio App (it's free for both Android and iPhone).
Third, on line via this website.
Again, we'll be back to full power ASAP! Thanks for your patience.
Our engineer says it's good news / bad news. The bad news is parts to repair the transmitter are having to be brought in from Sacramento. More bad news – it won't be fixed until later tonight. Good News is – The Morning Buzz should be back at full power Friday!!!
I mean Monday!

Star Style: Hits and Disses - December 4, 2012
Hit: Kate Bosworth
Hit: We love this alienesque Emilio Pucci dress. The prismic angles freshen up the peplum detail and the rolled lapels read like a blazer. While a shiny finish doesn't usually win us over, this number has structure that can withstand the reflection. Though the simple accessories and sleek hairstyle are lovely, we think a statement necklace would have added a big wow factor.
Dec 4, 2012 1:34AM
This is ridiculous. Lea Michele looks amazing in the dress she is wearing in this photo. Regardless of whether she dons the 'same look' too often for some peoples liking, isn't the point of judging style to say what looks good and what doesn't? Not complaining about how a stars' look is getting boring? This happens so often on Star Style and frankly is annoying, forget who the person is and what they normally wear or appear in, judge what looks good and what doesn't, it'd be nice to get some actual unbiased fashion opinions rather than dissing someone for looking 'the same as they always do'.

I don't agree with most of your hits and disses and it seems by the amount of other peoples comments they don't agree with you either. Hits and Disses used to be one of my favorite msn reads but the past couple of months have been awful and I think this one was my last chance to see if its improved. I think a new writer for this article would be the perfect solution!

on the contrary the fact that her hair is down just had s more elegance to the gown........the way you put your hair has an impact on the result of the look it s like wearing running shoes with a tuxedo !!!!not a good judge ...im sorry ...this lady looks elegant,,,,,,YOUR JUDGING IS WRONG,,,,,,MAYBE YOU SHOULD RETHINK OR GET NEW PEOPLE,,,,,DONT MAKE SENSE

Olivia Wilde looked absolutely stunning- what is the matter with you people? And all of the other ladies look great as well. Let's see you try to walk in their shoes. Judging these women based on their outfits is pointless and shallow and gives a terrible message to our children. Why don't we spend that time doing something inspiring and useful for the world?

carly was the only one that looked quite nice,but the rest looked like their trying to look young the rest had on their kitchen curtain or table cloth. fergie looks like she should be on a street corner.throw out the hair staightener then take a look in the mirror before you start to do your hair. the strait hair makes them looks like they just got out of bed.or maybe have it chopped so you look tidy.

text: At the end of SMTown Tokyo, they let some international fans onto the stage as a special thank you. Sooyoung decided to spark up a conversation with one of the fans and asked her who she was at SMTown for. The fan replied that she loved all SM artists, including Girls' Generation. But when Sooyoung asked who the fan's favorite was, she said DBSK's Yunho, so Sooyoung walked the fan over to Yunho and introduced them to each other.

The Pursuit of Happyness Reviews
By reducing the story of homelessness to only Chris Gardner's, The Pursuit of Happyness is saying that anybody can get out of the gutter by simply really, really wanting to do better.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/10
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Smith's performance is terrific, but it's in service of a clumsy, heavy-handed film that believes the ultimate measure of a man is how hard he chases what he desires - wealth, fame, Oscars.
Full Review | Original Score: 83/100
Boxoffice Magazine
Like Gardner's desire to escape the confines of his economic station, there's a better movie struggling to escape the confines of a Hollywood movie machine that values story mechanics over genuine emotion.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5
How is it that movies 'inspired by a real story' often feel more fake than those fully embedded in the realm of fiction?
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Wall Street Journal
The Pursuit of Happyness goes beyond tugging at our heartstrings. It plucks them, strokes them, strums them, plays them for all they're worth. That's both the strength and the weakness of this inspirational drama.
Three Movie Buffs
The real story of Chris Gardner's life is indeed inspirational. The movie version wants to be inspirational as well, but never quite gets there.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Counterfeit emotion and submerged racism
Hollywood Reporter
... this is a slick studio production with a huge movie star and top professionals occupying every production role so that the polish of this well-made film makes even homelessness look neat and tidy.
Slant Magazine
The Pursuit of Happyness expectedly suffers from Muccino's overstated handling of the material.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4
E! Online
Had we seen an intimate glimpse into the professional side of Gardner's journey, this likeable but unexceptional fable could have been so much more.
Full Review | Original Score: B-
New York Times
A fairy tale in realist drag, The Pursuit of Happyness is the kind of entertainment that goes down smoothly until it gets stuck in your craw.
| Original Score: 2.5/5
WBAI Web Radio
The American Dream as white, rich and all male.
Film School Rejects
Full Review | Original Score: C
If patience isn't a virtue you possess, pass on The Pursuit of Happyness.
Full Review | Original Score: C
This Sisyphean movie succeeds in portraying '80s era San Francisco as a deceptively appealing city with a flaky underbelly inhabited by desperate hippies and homeless people.
Full Review | Original Score: C-
Associated Press
At its core The Pursuit of Happyness is a good story -- one that's literally rags to riches, and didn't need the many tweaks and embellishments that Italian director Gabriele Muccino and writer Steven Conrad have added.
Chicago Reader
Smith is resourceful in the role, though the story stretches one's credulity about his character's resourcefulness.
Combustible Celluloid
[Muccino] is quite skilled at hitting all the appropriate emotional peaks and valleys, though his hard logic leaves a bit to be desired.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
Cinema Crazed
Sap, sentiment, and hokey plot devices bog down an otherwise down to earth story.
Big Picture Big Sound
This is Will Smith's movie from start to finish and he carries it wonderfully.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

The UFC Prelims on Spike TV has gathered a fairly consistent audience over the years since its inception with UFC 103. The TV ratings that UFC 130 on Saturday night pulled in for the network were in line with the series average.
The UFC 130 Prelims drew an average audience of 1.3 million viewers, which is just slightly below the average of 1.44 million. It peaked at 1.499 million viewers in the final quarter hour.
More MMA
That was still good enough to land Spike in the number one spot among basic cable operators in the key Men 18-49 advertiser demographic.
The telecast featured fights between middleweights Tim Boetsch and Kendall Grove and bantamweights Demetrious Johnson and Miguel Torres. Boetsch made his 185-pound debut, dominating Grove en route to a unanimous decision. Johnson and Torres had a strong back-and-forth battle with Johnson earning the judges' nod.
The series reached its peak with a preliminary telecast for UFC 126, which averaged 2.0 million viewers.

text: Between SXSW, Sasquatch!, Coachella, Bonnaroo, Osheaga, the Ottawa Bluesfest and Weezer's touring cruise ship, the festival market seems a bit saturated right? Well not saturated enough for Yahoo! to reconsider entering the game. The internet site and major brand has announced a new festival called Yahoo! On The Road. Unlike most other events, the festival will be a travelling one, moving through 21 international cities beginning in May. Each stop will see a variety of guests perform, including names like Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, and Kendrick Lamar. Not too shabby for a brand new event. You can have a look at the schedule below, and expect more performer announcements in the coming weeks. (more…)

Look at you.
More important, look at what you have become.
You have elevated yourself to the rank of persons who steal craft goods.
Not cash. Not guns. Not electronics. No TB, you went for the win and used your dark talents to snag a decorative autumnal wreath. I know what you were thinking; Wait 'til the fellas down at the pawn shop get a load of this!
That must have felt good.
Well TB, do you know how I feel?
Well, I'll tell you. Flattered. I am flattered that you took a shine to my creation.
You know, I was rather fond of that wreath too. Not to brag or anything, but it was made two years ago using an old garland and a hoola hoop. In fact, I posted directions right here. You should feel free to check them out and make your own.
Perhaps, when you are done making your own, you could un-burgal my wreath and put it back where you found it: hanging on my door.

AMHERST JUNCTION (WAOW)--An Amherst Junction couple just happened to be in the area when an F-16 crashed in Adams County Tuesday afternoon. Little did they know they would find the jet's pilot.
Darren and Tabitha Koback were setting up trail cameras when they saw something unbelievable. "All of a sudden I just looked back toward the truck and then looked over and saw this huge mushroom cloud of smoke and I just looked at my husband and said 'oh my god that plane crashed," said Tabitha Koback.
Although he questioned what his wife was saying, Darren suggested she call 911 and the two jumped in their truck and headed for the scene.
"All you could see was smoke, some small flames, but a lot of smoke," said Tabitha.
After talking with paramedics and witnesses, the two decided they should try and find the plane's pilot since Tabitha had seen what she thought was a parachute exit the jet just before it crashed.
Sure enough, "400 or 500 yards down the road there he was standing in the ditch with his parachute and gear," said Tabitha.
So they gave him a something to drink and let him sit in their air conditioned truck. The two said he was in good condition, with a few minor cuts to his chin.
"We were happy to help," said Darren. "It was in kind of out in the country so we were concerned if anybody was going to find the pilot if he was hurt."

Ever since Intuos 4 came out, I hated Wacom's gritty surface for eating all my pen nibs. Well, as it turns out, I was wrong all along! Lately I was getting really frustrated with the lack of precision when hand drawing straight lines on the tablet (and yes, I know about shift+click). After some playing around, it seems like the grittiness actually helps with that. But after 4 years of drawing, the surface at the centre of my tablet became polished like glass and it really messes with my precision. I actually haven't realised it all this time - I even got a new pen a few months ago, thinking that my lines suck because the pen is "wonky".
So there you have it…my super hi-tech tablet mod with a help of Tesco's all-purpose cloth and masking tape. Yaaay.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) Continues to Scale New Heights
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) keeps on scaling to new heights as recent partnership deals continue to pull new investors into the stock.
By midafternoon, shares have added 7.6% to $119.29, adding to an overall 58% gain since the beginning of the year. Trading volume of 7.1 million is nearly double its three-month average daily volume.
Last Wednesday, the stock had a stellar run after announcing a 10-year partnership with The Coca-Cola Company (KO) to develop an at-home cold drinks system.
Then, on Monday, the company announced it had partnered with Krispy Kreme (KKD) in a multiyear agreement to develop Krispy Kreme coffee pods for use in Green Mountain's Keurig brewing system."At GMCR, we're committed to partnering with the best brands in the marketplace to bring consumers the beverages they love at the touch of a button," said Green Mountain CEO Brian P. Kelley in a statement. Must Read: Coca Cola's Buffett-Like Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Deal? Must Read: Greenberg: Why Green Mountain is Off My Watch List Must Read: Coca-Cola, Green Mountain Coffee Deal Scalds SodaStream TheStreet Ratings team rates GREEN MTN COFFEE ROASTERS as a Buy with a ratings score of B. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate GREEN MTN COFFEE ROASTERS (GMCR) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, impressive record of earnings per share growth and compelling growth in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- GMCR's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 0.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.5%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- GMCR's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.10 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, GMCR has a quick ratio of 1.63, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Food Products industry and the overall market, GREEN MTN COFFEE ROASTERS's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- GREEN MTN COFFEE ROASTERS has improved earnings per share by 30.0% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, GREEN MTN COFFEE ROASTERS increased its bottom line by earning $3.16 versus $2.28 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.79 versus $3.16).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Food Products industry average. The net income increased by 28.5% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $107.58 million to $138.23 million.

Decades-old school desegregation cases and Louisiana's private school tuition program, now in its second year, are the subject of a scheduled federal court hearing.
U.S. District Judge Ivan Lemelle was set to hear arguments Friday on whether court approval is needed for the state to issue the government-funded vouchers in districts still under longstanding desegregation orders.
Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration says the case is part of an attempt by the Justice Department to control the state voucher program.
Here's the 7 day forecast.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Jeremy Holohan
"This is a great recipe to me because I absolutely love eating breakfast and it doesn't matter what time of day it is. When I bite into a soft buttery bagel with just the perfect crunch and flake, with an explosion of maple syrup it is a treat, let me tell you. With the ham being browned, it brings out all the flavors. Nothing is better than the hot melted cheese and warm soft yolk. In addition, all of these flavors together bring me back to when my Grandma would make a big family breakfast, and now I have it all in a simple bagel!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 tablespoon
butter, divided
plain bagel, split
4 slices
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 slices
American cheese
2 tablespoons
maple syrup
Great combination of sweet and salty! And, I guess this is another one of those "don't knock it 'til you try it" recipes. I used two bagels with one egg, two slices of ham, and a slice of cheese to make two sandwiches. I opted for reduced-fat cheddar and next time I might sub bacon for the ham. Overall, very tasty!
Yummy! I only used 1 slice of both ham and cheese and only 1 egg, and that was perfect for me. The combo of flavors is really tasty. I would def makie this again! Thanks for sharing. :)

Debate: Do abstinence until marriage programs work?
Ok studies shown from the link below prove that the program is not only ineffective but unethical, and causes poor health.
Point One there was sex before there was marriage.
Second sex until marriage will not stop people from having martial issues or divorce. Ex a friend of mine has a step mom who took abstinence and got married she stayed with him for years and quit because she was really unhappy.
Third an final point is though research comparing Europian culture and ours it shows that forcing abstinence on our youth without actual sex education, not only pyschology damage and conflict with parents, but forces kids to learn about sex from their peers.
There's a documentary about it called "Let's talk About Sex."
Just type into goggle "let's talk about sex documentary" or look below

Random Chance 30+Nov 13 2012: Whenever any human is put under the thumb of another, they begin the struggle to break free.
Humans have fought this fight since they learned they had opposable thumbs.
Too many generations I personally know about, children left home not because they were looking forward to their life but they had to get away from the people who were making them crazy, i.e. their parents.
Mental illness is now beginning at the age of 11 in America, possibly, lower now. Parents are causing it.
Moral teaching has been more of an evil than anything else.
Sex is not a moral issue.
Sex, doesn't have a moral nature that is inherent, essential and intrinsic.
The moral nature in life, is how we treat one another, not what the subject is!
Yes, there are problems with many things in life and teaching and learning how to handle them is important, but there has been way too much false moral teaching done that is only akin to brainwashing and not for the good of anyone.
Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders stated masturbation should be taught as natural and common, and used. She said, "we've tried ignorance for a 1,000 years, maybe we should try education." She also said she thought abstinence is itself a form of child abuse.
She was forced from her job by the insane moral majority in America. George Bush, lied to u.s. all and went to war along with helping to destroy our economy and make us more hated around the world, and he wasn't fired!!!
She told the truth. He lied. Tells you a lot about how Americans worship lies. Maybe, George should have masturbated first and we wouldn't be in this mess.
There is nothing wrong with abstinence. There is nothing wrong with learning how to control oneself, urges, desires and so on. There is something wrong with brainwashing, teaching false, shameful morals and lying. Making a choice is not making the choice that someone else has embedded in you.

"I would think your crazy, "He said still in shock
That was an answer I did not think he would say it is better the being called a liar.
"What if I am not crazy, what if I really did like you, '' I said still trying to make him believe me. I jump down from the top of the wall.
"Why would you like me? And how can I believe you for something like that? "He asks while looking at me.
"I like you. From the moment I first saw you there was something about you that I could not explain. I tried so hard every day to make that feeling go away I kept lying to myself that I did not like you. When we kiss, I could no longer lie to myself I like you. That kiss meant a lot to me more then you will ever know, "I replied. For the first time I think I just told the truth I really did not know if I did but it felt right.
"Did you just told truth, "He ask
"Yes okay I told the damn truth. I did not lie. For the first time I told the truth because I cannot lie to you, "I said while looking him in the eyes.
"You look at me in the eyes, you are telling the truth, "He said not believe it.
"I cannot believe I just the truth it has never happen before. Do you believe me when I say I like you, "I ask hoping he would.
He jump down from the wall where I was he walk closer to him and stood in front of me.
"I believe you. " He said.
"So now the question is do you like me, "I ask. I was afraid he would say no because I am a liar just because I told the truth for once does not mean I would ever do it again, even though I was try too.
"I always have like you. After the kiss, we had my feelings have grown stronger but I always push them aside because I did not think a liar could love. However, seeing you and how much you want to change, and seeing how much you like me as change that, "He replied.
"I know I am a liar. I am trying to get better I hate lying to you I want to get better so I can show you how much I want us to be together that is if it's something you want too, " I said.
"I want us together too, He replied.
And in the moment, I was happy. I could not be any happier but I had a bad feeling this happiness would not last long, that my hell would slowly begin.

Theodore Long
Real Name
Theodore Long
Date of Birth
September 15, 1947
Place of Birth
While fans are begging for it, WWE is unlikely to do a match between Shawn Michaels and Daniel Bryan.
October 29, 2013
When he received his release from WWE, many expected Theodore Long to retire from professional wrestling. It looks like those speculations were true, as the former on screen general manager of Smackdown has been relatively quiet since his departure. Long has not made appearances on the independent wrestling circuit or other events.
August 9, 2014
While there are some minor rumors about him potentially joining TNA or Global Force Wrestling, the widespread belief is that Theodore Long is more than likely going to retire now that he no longer works for WWE. He's already at a pretty advanced age, and his name value is not quite what it used to be since he was kept off of television for so long.
July 5, 2014
Booker T is running his first internet pay per view for his wrestling promotion, and Reality of Wrestling will have plenty of WWE presence there. Josh Mathews has signed on to help Booker do commentary for the evening, while Alex Riley will be making his return to the ring for a match. Theodore Long, who was recently released by WWE, will be on hand to act as the on screen general manager at the PPV.
June 19, 2014
WWE released a lot of people on Thursday. While Theodore Long was among the many names, his contract had actually expired and management opted against keeping him around. Since he is no longer under any contractual obligation to WWE, Long is free to sign with TNA or Global Force Wrestling if he so chooses. No word yet on whether or not those companies have interest in him since he has not been used as much in WWE lately.
June 14, 2014
There was a surprising amount of fans who have been wanting to see Theodore Long return as an on screen character, but that will not be happening. WWE gave the former general manager his release today. Long has rarely been used over the last year, and it was not clear if he actually had another role backstage.
June 12, 2014
While he hasn't been a relevant part of Monday Night Raw or Smackdown in quite some time now, Theodore Long is still actually employed by WWE. The creative department simply does not have a story line for him to work with at the moment. The long rumored feud between he and Booker T has essentially been put to rest and will not be utilized.
February 8, 2014
Prior to becoming a professional wrestler for New Japan and future IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Hiroshi Tanahashi had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player. That was his primary sport in high school.
August 11, 2014
During the early 1990s, Billy Kidman was trained to become a professional wrestler by former WWE star Afa Anoa'i.
July 21, 2014
Yujiro Kushida, who regularly teams up with former TNA star Alex Shelley in New Japan, was mentored by former WWE star Tajiri early on in his career.
July 21, 2014
Prior to becoming known worldwide as a legend in professional wrestling, Bruiser Brody was actually a pretty good football player. He was an all state high school player in Michigan. His talents were so good that he caught the attention of a university in Texas. He parlayed his success in college to an NFL career, doing a brief stint with the Washington Redskins.
May 1, 2014
While he was easily one of the best overall performers during his generation, Tully Blanchard was a bit of a headache backstage. Shortly before he decided to leave WWE, Blanchard ended up failing a drug test because of cocaine, so management had no choice but to fire him. Bobby Heenan had to replace him in the match at Survivor Series 1989.
May 1, 2014
While he does not get featured as much by WWE nowadays, Pedro Morales will forever have a place in company history. The Puerto Rican star was the first guy to have won the WWE title, world tag team championship and the Intercontinental Championship. Morales even held the WWE and tag team championship, which he won with Bob Backlund, at the same time.
April 29, 2014
For a young professional wrestler, being able to work with a big time star could be what helps to spring board your career into the next level. A memorable feud with the legendary Harley Race was how Hercules Hernandez managed to make a name for himself during the territorial days. It was shortly after that feud that he found himself being signed by the NWA.
April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Scott Norton was a star in the arm wrestling world. The former WCW star won at least thirty championships, including four national titles. He also traveled overseas for competition, including a life changing one in Japan. Norton also had enough recognition to be cast in Over the Top, a Sylvester Stallone movie about arm wrestling.
April 28, 2014
While he will forever associated with the famous wrestling last name, Ole Anderson is actually not an Anderson at all. His real name is Alan Rogowski. He simply adopted the Ole Anderson name to connect with the audience who were already familiar with Gene Anderson, his story line brother. Another interesting point of interest is that Ole Anderson is a play on the word oleander, a poisonous plant.
April 28, 2014
Back in 2000, the world of professional wrestling was saddened by the death of Masakazu Fukuda. While working a tournament match, Fukuda was hit by a flying elbow drop from Katsuyori Shibata. The blow proved to be fatal, as Fukuda had to be taken to the hospital, where he died a couple of days later. New Japan finished the tournament and dedicated the event in his honor.
April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in WCW, Sid Vicious managed to pull off a pretty amazing feat while working for New Japan. Even though he was an unknown, Vicious was able to convince the promoters in Japan to give him a shot at the legendary Tatsumi Fujinami and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He lost, of course, but was able to gain some recognition in the late 1980s by being in the match.
April 27, 2014
For as long as she has been on television, Stephanie McMahon has been a topic of interest for professional wrestling fans. Many WWE fans are quite enamored with her, so it comes as no surprise that her bra size is routinely discussed. During an interview once, Stephanie revealed that she received breast implants and now has a bra size of D cup.
April 24, 2014
Since she has been around WWE for a very long time, wrestling fans have been wondering how old Stephanie McMahon is. She was born on September 24, 1976, which makes her 37 right now. Due to her age and the fact that the kids are getting a little older, Stephanie recently decided to scale back on her responsibilities within WWE. She is no longer in charge of the creative department.
April 22, 2014
The boring gimmick that Lance Storm received while working in WWE was actually a little jab at internet wrestling fans. Many viewed him as a guy that was just too boring to be a star. In actuality, though, Storm has a pretty good personality and a sense of humor backstage. WWE went with the gimmick in order to try to something to see if it would give him momentum.
April 13, 2014
Back when he was a teenager in Mississippi, Kamala was a bit of a thief. He became known in town as a burglar who came from a poor family. The local police did not want to arrest him, so they heavily suggested that he leave town to avoid any further complications. The future WWE star opted to flee to the state of Florida, where he made money by picking fruit.
April 11, 2014
In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role. However, Ventura had blood clots in his lungs, which was due to his stint in the Vietnam War, and was forced to retire as an in ring performer. WWE moved Heenan on to other wrestlers.
April 10, 2014
In one of the more interesting connections in professional wrestling, when Wahoo McDaniel was a teenager in Texas, he was coached in baseball by George Bush, who would go on to become the 41st President of the United States.
April 9, 2014
Even though the truth has been out there for several years now, a lot of wrestling fans are still under the belief that Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson are brothers in real life. They're not. The relationship was created for their on screen characters to help Arn connect with the audience quicker because Ole was already established in the territory.
April 4, 2014
Back during the 1980s, one of the most talked about segment in professional wrestling was when Uncle Elmer got married on national television. It was an actual wedding, as the performer was really wanting to marry his longtime girlfriend. When he approached Vince McMahon about it, the promoter loved the idea and decided to make it a draw for WWE.
April 4, 2014
One of the biggest mysteries in professional wrestling involves Dennis Condrey and his decision to walk away from the Midnight Express. When asked about the situation, Bobby Eaton said that his former tag team partner basically left without saying a word to him for two years. Condrey reportedly did not inform Jim Cornette or the NWA, either.

Diamond 103: Give me Righteousness
Diamond 103: Give me Righteousness
In a fateful encounter in the past, Delia met Naberrie for the first time while at a restaurant with her father. Davin Ketchum, who was at the time the newly appointed police superintendent for Kanto, was acting as the police chief for the Viridian station until the force's understaffing problem was resolved. That problem had come as a result of the authorities being finally cleaned of corruption to start anew after Team Rocket took out the gangs associated with them. There was an unspoken agreement of mutual indifference and ignorant pretence between Team Rocket and the police, which would only grow with the coming years, more so as one generation ended and new younger officers took over on a clean slate, knowing little of the expanding control of Team rocket until it was too late.
For what was it worth doing anything when inaction seemed to be the only safe path? That was a way of thinking that was not shared by the superintendent, which led to a conflict with Naberrie. Davin was being held at a secret room in the restaurant by armed guards so that he may not interfere with Delia and Naberrie's conversation at a table on the roof. The Viridian mayor, Rune Antilles, then at the beginning of his political career, was downstairs with his young son, Kenobi.
Naberrie observed Delia sitting across the table from her and began her tale. "Years ago, the Coruscant clan ruled the underworld in equal terms with their rivals, the Roketto. My father was the head of Coruscant, being the oldest son. However, his power hungry younger sister was determined to come out on top. By a series of events that I cannot begin to imagine, she ended up married to the head of the Roketto. Peculiarly, the Roketto leader passed away when their first born was still a toddler. Some say she had him killed after she had seduced him to obtain his power. Far from having any intentions of uniting the Coruscant with the Roketto, the widow who let go of her name to simply be known as Madame, the new leader of the Roketto, waged a war which Coruscant lost and established her firm rule. Years passed and her son left determined to build his gang on his own. From there on out, you know the story well."
Realization hit Delia like a Golem. "Your father and Giovanni's mother are siblings!" She began to worry, but tried not to show it.
Before Delia could inquire about Naberrie's intention, theorizing that revenge was part of her agenda, Naberrie interrupted with, "were." Seeing Delia's puzzlement she elaborated, "my father and Giovanni's mother were siblings, since he is no longer among the living."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Delia's voice was sincere, her mask falling off to reveal compassion. She inevitably wondered if the death of Naberrie's father could have been a direct consequence of Madame's actions. "Even if it was because of what Madame did, you shouldn't blame Giovanni for it. He has no control over his mother's actions, they don't even get along. Besides, this happened a long time ago, right? Giovanni was still a child, as were we."
"I do not blame Madame for the fate of my father; his own stupidity led him to his downfall," Naberrie ascertained with a hint of anger in her eyes and a predatory curve upon her lips. "His talents as a leader were null, yet he was given the right of the firstborn. He exhausted our resources to the point where the once proud Coruscant family was indebted to many of the smaller gangs of Kanto. He had nothing left so I put him out of his misery."
Delia gasped at the revelation, "you... your own father!"
"This world is not for one as innocent as you, Delia." Naberrie looked almost mocking. "I honestly don't understand what Giovanni is thinking, but it is obvious he's not with you for your heritage. Even if your father is the police superintendent, that is something that only became true recently and I agree with my aunt's policy to not negotiate with the police. To do so would be to give them the advantage as they play both sides of the law, while we are perpetually in the side that stands against it."
Naberrie continued her explanation and criticism, ignoring Delia's look of utter shock. She could tell that the other woman's indignation was not due to being casted as a bad choice for Giovanni, but more so because of the surprise of what happened in the mafia all for the sake of power. "When those small gangs were wiped out by Team Rocket, the Coruscant, which had been reduced to virtually nothing by the time I became the new boss, was finally free. However, there was nothing more to do than to break even and thus the clan was in essence disbanded. At some point before that, I had met and married Rune, a cargo merchant commanding a modest market share well behind its competitors, especially the titan of cargo transport, Calrissian Cargo. After becoming free of my clan and its debts, I decided to start anew. Even if Madame was brilliant in the past, she too has fallen from power. It seems the commanding power right now is Giovanni, thus I will offer my alliance to him, I already have through city hall."
"You want to be Giovanni's ally?" To say Delia had doubts about Naberrie's sincerity was an understatement. "If that is true, then why are you doing this? Why did you cause such a commotion at the restaurant, people were watching and you should know that's not good for Giovanni."
"You didn't notice and neither did he," Naberrie leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes in indifferent superiority. Being raised as a lady of the mafia, albeit her family was already spiraling down when she was born, the way she carried herself was similar to Madame. However, Madame seemed to be one step ahead of everything and everyone, irradiating power without trying, in an atmosphere that was both calmer and deadlier than Naberrie's. "Davin Ketchum is being used. He is not the real police superintendent, he's bait. After Team Rocket took out most of the gangs, the police obtained a one in a lifetime opportunity to finish the clean up. They did not waste that chance and put a plan into action. Unfortunately, I do not know the specifics, but I can assure you that your father is being used. The police is trying to take out Giovanni now, before he firmly establishes his rule. This is a plan that doesn't include the whole or even the majority of the force, but an elite group of officers and government officials acting along side an unknown third party. Team Rocket is just starting to expand, most of the police and government gave up the war after loosing the battle, but there are those who are willing to risk it all."
Delia remained silent for a long moment until she swallowed air and pushed her voice to function. "I will have to confirm if what you say is true."
"Naturally," Naberrie expected the doubts. "You will also come to understand that my actions here tonight have spared you a lot of trouble. Your father will be released, minus his weapon, which my men will keep as a souvenir, though I'm sure he'll receive a replacement at the police station. However, a stop must be put to tonight's plot. You will not meet Davin again until you have confirmed my warning; I will personally escort you to the Viridian Gym."
"I want to see my father," Delia protested. "How do I know you won't hurt him?"
"You will find out later when there is no news of the supposed superintendent being killed," Naberrie offered. "He will most likely try to contact you, but you must not speak to him. He knows about Giovanni and when he finds out you're with him, he'll try to get information from you to separate you from him and arrest him. If that happens, he'll be playing right into the trap of the real superintendent. You will find, as will Giovanni, upon further investigation, that my intentions are sincere and that I was of vital help tonight," Naberrie emphasized.
From there on the following events proceeded as per Naberrie's orders. Davin was released into the forest minus his police gun and left there. Delia was taken to the Viridian Gym in front of which she exited the mayor's limousine with its other passengers, Naberrie, Rune and Kenobi, remaining unseen.
xoxox xox xoxox
After the mayor's limousine dropped her off at the Viridian Gym, Delia had too very important things to do. One was to ensure the safety of her father and the other was to tell Giovanni about what happened, so that he may take the proper contingency measures if Naberrie's warning turned out to be true and perhaps more so if she turned out to be lying. Team Rocket was only just beginning to truly establish its rule despite its fast growth in the economy and number of members. Its decent into a darker path was only looming in the approaching future yet to come and the feeling of being a righteous, albeit illegal, vigilante was still in Delia's heart. No matter what, Kanto needed Team Rocket, she and Giovanni would not let it fall apart.
With such thoughts in mind, Delia hurried upstairs to the gym's living area. She opened the door to her and Giovanni's room surprised that for once, Giovanni had no extra work to keep him up late. Instead he was sleeping peacefully with his young Meowth curled up by his side. "Wake up, Giovanni!" Delia turned on the overhead lights disturbing her lover's slumber. "This is urgent!"
In a split second, Giovanni was fully awake and out of bed, while the Meowth was still in the process of stretching and yawning, with no idea what was making his mother fuss so much. "What happened?" Giovanni urged Delia to reveal.
"A lot, my father may be in danger, no, he is in danger!" Delia exclaimed, her voice sinking into panic. "First of all I need to locate him and make sure he's safe, can you have agents help search the city? I don't think they could have gone far yet. We need to investigate who the police superintendent is, the real one I mean. Naberrie needs to be investigated and even Rune, to be safe." The mayor didn't look like he would hurt a Caterpie, but Delia didn't want to take any chances.
"Delia, slow down, where are you going with all of this?" Giovanni was confused and did not like what little he could theorize about from the information he managed to grasp out of Delia's rushed statement.
"The agents, the search, now!" Delia insisted adamantly, unable to focus on anything else until she knew actions were being taken about her father's safety. "His name is Davin Ketchum, graying brown hair, about five inches taller than me and... The only pictures I have of him are old and in a box of random things I left at Professor Oak's laboratory back when I left for my Cerulean City internship." She suddenly regretted procrastinating to go pick it up, as the box in question was usually forgotten seconds after being remembered when it came to mind.
"It's okay, that's enough, he'll be found and brought here," Giovanni offered, trying to calm Delia.
"No, don't," Delia exclaimed, "If he's fine just let him be. Have him call me, I'll tell him I'm alright and that's it. Don't interfere. We still don't know if the police is really using him, or Naberrie, or both."
"Right, we'll do that," Giovanni delegated orders to his top agents through his cell phone. "The search has started, they'll keep us informed," Giovanni pressed a button on his cell phone, ending the communication. "Now from the beginning, what's happening with the police?" He inquired, adding with a grumble, "I knew this would be trouble," while at the same time being silently thankful that Delia at least made it back unharmed.
Delia began her explanation as fast and clearly as she could. "I was at a restaurant with my father when-"
The name of Naberrie, which Delia had mentioned, tugged at Giovanni's memory until he realized why it sounded familiar. He suddenly interrupted Delia by asking, "Naberrie Coruscant?"
"Yes, your cousin," Delia confirmed.
Giovanni's face was immediately invaded by distrust. He didn't know Naberrie well, other than the fact that she was his cousin. He had seen her maybe twice in his life and had not spoken to her on either occasion. He could come up with a number of reasons why she would want to stand against him, but certainly didn't expect her to actually take action, now of all times, let alone to involve Delia. "What did she do?"
"That's just it, I don't know for sure," the hopeful side of Delia wished with all her might that Naberrie kept her word about her father being safe. That would place the police as their main enemy if she truly wanted to be their ally, but that could be dealt with later.
Delia's explanation was interrupted again, this time by the ringing of Giovanni's cell phone, piercing the urgency in the atmosphere to fill it with a few eternal seconds of excruciating uncertainty waiting for the news that could be a relief or a catastrophe. "Did you find him?" Giovanni spoke into the device.
Accentuating his reply with a yawn, followed by a grunt, Proton answered, "yeah, I found him, he was pretty close by. The stubborn old man had a few nasty things to say about me the second he saw me, but we have him under control."
"Good, put him on," Giovanni passed the cell phone to Delia.
She took it with shaking hands and almost desperately called, "dad, are you alright?"
"As alright as a prisoner of the mafia can be, or worse yet, the father of a prisoner of the mafia. Delia, what in the world is this about?" Davin's out of breath outrage was heard over the cell phone.
"You're not a prisoner and neither am I, but you might be being used by the police," Delia revealed with a tired breath. "Listen, just go back home and act natural. The police needs you so they won't hurt you, the less you know, the safer you'll be. I'll be watching over you, so don't worry. I'll get to the bottom of this and get you out. For now, just go home and pretend this call never happened, don't worry about me. I'm safe and I'll keep you safe, please, just do what I say, I'll see you as soon as I can."
Davin was horrified that his daughter, sounded very much like she was well connected with the mafia. There was no doubt in his mind that it was indeed Delia's voice so similar to her mother's, speaking words he would never have guessed she would speak. At least she was safe, if the term safe was used loosely. Davin didn't know what was going on, but he knew he had to comply, if not for his well being, for hers. "I'll do what you say, please, stay safe, Delia."
After reassuring her father some more, Delia ended the conversation and Davin was released. She gave the cell phone back to Giovanni just in time for him to hear Proton's complaints. "For crying out loud, Giovanni! I get woken up in the middle of the night, on the one night I actually decide to stay at base and get some much needed sleep. Then I'm sent on a wild Farfetched hunt for some old man through the forest and when I do find him, you don't even keep him around. What in the world is going on?"
"That's what I would like to know," came Giovanni's voice, followed by the tone that indicated the communication had been disconnected.
Once again left in silence, Delia took a deep breath and tried to fully explain what she knew. "While at the restaurant with my father, mayor Antilles approached to say hello. I didn't know what was going on, but his wife, Naberrie," Delia observed Giovanni's expression turn to angry surprise upon realizing that Rune being married to Naberrie was a fact that had remained hidden from him. Ending her pause, Delia continued, "she took us to the roof and she had armed guards. They took my father away and she told me many things. She said that dad's recent promotion to police superintendent was false and the real superintendent along with a small group of officers and government officials were using him allied with an unknown third party. They want to take out Team Rocket and Naberrie interrupted their plot to gain information through my father, who seems to know nothing of this, by interfering tonight. She said she wanted to be your ally and that this was the proof of it. I don't know if she's telling the truth, but I think both possibilities need to be investigated."
"I don't trust her," Giovanni stated strongly. "I don't trust Rune either." A man such as Rune Antilles, so carefree, distracted and easy to manipulate had to be someone else's puppet. Giovanni just discovered that he was not the one controlling Rune after all; someone else had set things up to make it look that way. "We're going to need more information; Team Rocket will be at full alert. I'm especially curious about that third party you mentioned. We can investigate the police and Naberrie, but unless we know who our third enemy is, finding more information will be difficult."
xoxox xox xoxox
For the next few days a detailed investigation was conducted by Team Rocket. In the mean time, at a loss for what to do and fearing for his daughter's safety, Davin was determined to conduct an investigation of his own. He did not report the happenings of the restaurant to the police. The group of officers and government officials who set him up were aware of what had happened, up until the time when Naberrie interfered and took them out of range of their spies. However, since Davin didn't bring it up, neither did the higher ups, so as to not let him know he was being closely watched, assuming he was unaware of it.
As for the conversation between Naberrie and Delia, that remained a mystery to the police, but they had guesses as to what could have gone on. That made them especially careful around Davin, doubting how much he knew and how far he would go. With the worry in the back of his mind that the police was using him, Davin decided that he had a good enough excuse to justify his silence in the worries about his daughter's safety. He would, as Delia instructed, proceed as if her call never occurred. He did not need to act his desperation, as it felt quite real when he headed to Pallet Town to speak to Professor Oak, wondering how much he knew about Delia's current life. He felt reproachful towards the man to whom he had entrusted his daughter. Simultaneously, he also felt that he had no right to blame Samuel, since raising and guiding Delia was his duty as a father and not the duty of his friend.
The morning was gloomy with gray clouds covering the sky when Davin arrived at the Oak laboratory. Light rain fell barely noticeable every now and then, threatening to bring forth a strong downpour which had thus far not come. Parking his car in front of the brick fence of the property, Davin exited the vehicle and noted that the gates leading to the stairs in front of the main building were parted; Samuel probably forgot to close them the night before. He made his way up the stairs with a rushed yet uncertain pace, stopping mid way as the front door coincidentally opened.
Samuel Oak bent over to pick up the newspaper that was at the foot of his door. As he straightened, he saw the man standing mid way up his stairs and recognized him almost instantly, "Davin!" His first reaction was the happiness anyone would feel laying eyes upon an old friend that one has not seen in a long time. It mixed with the excitement of an upcoming pleasant conversation and finally sank into a well hidden worry. Delia's path in life was something that Samuel had accepted, but Davin may not. The professor wondered how much Davin knew, though he theorized that not much. He guessed that the man was there to visit his daughter at long last, assuming she was still his student.
"Samuel, I need to speak to you," Davin finished going up the stairs adding, "inside," with a serious tone. It was as if he debated if he should apologize to Samuel for making him carry the duty of raising someone else's child or to punch him for allowing Delia to take the path Davin himself should have been there to protect her from. Overall the benefit of the doubt won over and Davin restrained himself from any sort of physical or verbal outburst.
Seeing the seriousness in the other man's face, Samuel stepped aside to allow him passage inside his residence. He closed the door, locking it behind them and tossed the all but forgotten newspaper on the living room coffee table. Both men sat down on the couch, which was as hard as an Onix, though neither seemed to care about the discomfort, their minds too filled with more imperative thoughts. "This is about Delia, isn't it?" Samuel guessed, coming up with a theory different from his thoughts of a mere few seconds ago. Davin knew something and if he didn't know, he must suspect. Never had Samuel seen such a mixed look on Davin's face, he was serious, worried, unsure, afraid, regretful, disappointed, angry and... reproachful?
"Yes," Davin confirmed and not wanting to dance around the subject he revealed. "I know she's in trouble with the mafia," because any kind of involvement with them was trouble by his definition. "I don't know in how much trouble she is, enlighten me." Davin's voice came out as a sharp order that Samuel knew he couldn't refuse.
Shifting uncomfortably, Samuel tried to voice some difficult revelations. "Delia is..." the pokemon Professor paused and looked at his friend in the eyes. "I'm not going to run away from this discussion, but I think you should talk to Delia first. After you've spoken to her, you can come to me and we'll talk."
"I already talked to her. She said the police was using me, she said she would keep an eye on me. She sounded as if she was really with them, with the mafia. I knew it was odd to promote me at my age, when the murmurs I've heard from the office are that they thought it was about time for me to retire," Davin realized he should have been suspicious before. "It was too good to be true to think that after all those corrupt officers were taken out of the force they suddenly decided to appreciate my experience. It turns out I was apparently part of the clean up. Delia doesn't want me to go looking for her and I'm worried something might happen to her if I do. Samuel, you know something and I need to know exactly what it is, I have the right!" Davin exploded, his voice louder and more enraged than Samuel had ever heard it.
Samuel stared at Davin in shock for a moment. "I am not well informed in such internal affairs," he admitted. "If Delia wants you to lay low and watch your back with the police, it's best to listen to her." He let out a stressful breath, "I apologize if I've inevitably broken your trust, believe me when I say that I care for Delia as if she were my own daughter. It all began with her internship at the Cerulean City Pokemon Center. She was missing for a while and when I saw her again she was... she was the same as ever, except she had a boyfriend. He's the head of Team Rocket, the Viridian Gym leader, Giovanni."
"He'll pay for this!" Davin exclaimed in absolute fury. "Taking away my little girl and getting her involved in all this trouble!" He stood up and paced, as if he wanted to run back to his car and rush to Viridian City to strangle Giovanni.
"Davin, please calm down!" Samuel stood to block the doorway. "It's not great, but it's not terrible." That was before Delia showed up back at Pallet Town pregnant and heartbroken; it was before Samuel felt true anger towards Giovanni. "It might actually be more good than bad in a certain light. I think they truly care about each other and it was Team Rocket that ended the epidemic, everyone owes them for that. I suppose you could think of them as vigilantes in a way."
"Nonsense!" Davin shouted, "listen to yourself, this is the mafia we're talking about, the mafia!"
The outburst was interrupted by a somewhat odd sounding feminine voice just outside the front door, "open the door this instant, this is the police!"
The two men froze for what felt like an eternity, until finally Samuel reacted, "just act natural," a million excuses ran through his mind, though he doubted any smart officer would believe him if he said he and Davin were only rehearsing a play and their argument was not real. None the less, he knew they would gain nothing by hiding inside the house, thus he opened the door.
There stood officer Jenny in her usual police uniform, miniskirt included, "Davin Ketchum, Samuel Oak, you are both hereby under arrest!"
"You can't!" Davin protested, too stressed and worried to form any real excuse.
"Officer, please, let's talk, I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding!" Samuel pleaded.
"I'd like to hear what you have to say," Jenny agreed, stepping forward, which caused the two men to step out of the way to let her in. The officer then closed the door and locked it. "What's your excuse?" Samuel and Davin remained silent, trying to calculate their words carefully until their visitor grew impatient and scolded them in a voice that was not female. "You were so loud the entire town could probably hear you. What would you have done if the real Jenny came to arrest you? It's my job to keep an eye on you, so don't make it more difficult than it is." He then removed his wig to reveal purple hair. "My name is Petrel, one of the elite agents of Team Rocket, I'm here for your protection."
Samuel and Davin wore matching shocked expressions. Davin fell into a sitting position on the rock hard couch and held his head in agony. His daughter was not only hanging out with the mafia, but with cross-dressing weirdos too.
To be Continued
Disclaimer, I don't own Pokemon. When Naberrie mentions Rune being a merchant, she is referring to him managing a small business that transported cargo, which later evolved into Antilles Oceanus. The mention of Calrissian Cargo still being ahead in the market refers to this flashback taking place between the first and second portion of the main flashback, since Calrissian Cargo met its end after the S.S. Lapras incident. I hope the positioning of this flashback in between the first two major flashbacks isn't too confusing. I've been trying to point out the continuity as clearly as possible, linking the events to the chronology of the story. Petrel says he's an elite agent because at this point in time the executives are not yet called that.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I don't really correct grammar anywhere in WoW, because it's a lost cause, and really doesnt affect me at all. Though if you do have bad grammar, people are going to figure you're one of those twelve year olds (who shouldn't even be playing, based on the ESRB rating, I might add!)
I confess that i've 'added fuel to the fire' for fun a few times though. It's funny when two nerds are fighting on there because someone got a lore fact wrong :) Or simply throwing a joke in there, because honestly, who gets that angry over a video game?
Correcting someone's grammar is fine, but because it's used so much as a means of proving someone wrong in an argument, that it can become just as childish as spelling everything wrong in the beginning.
Theres always the inevitable controversy that stems from the neverending dead-horses like politics (election day in the US was a horrible day for trade!), creationism vs. evolution, and so on, which generally go nowhere, and continue on until one of them has to go raid, or their BG queue pops.

Seriously a "Toilet Bowl" marathon? Yes, Destination America is hoping that fans have a "flushing" good time with a marathon of the television show "King of Thrones." Only on television can fans find hours of television programming showcasing how the bathroom remodeling can in must-see television. According to the Post-Gazette on Thursday, it is one of several off-beat Super Bowl type specials.
So what can viewers expect to see during this "Toilet Bowl" marathon? Renovating bathrooms around the country, the show will focus on tubs, sinks, tile and even the toilet. The "King of Thrones" might sound like a crazy title, but home designers love to find out how people put together their homes, even if it is all about the bathroom.
If watching bathrooms being put together isn't the perfect show, consider the other options available. The "Puppy Bowl," "Kitten Bowl" or "Fish Bowl" are also part of the Sunday television programming. Spoofing the real NFL game with cute and adorable animals (OK, except maybe the fish,) people will have a hard time deciding which to watch. Or, maybe programming the DVR is the best bet and watching the NFL game live is best.
Destination America's "Toilet Bowl" marathon with the episodes of "King of Thrones" starts at noon and will go until 3 p.m.

Business Ideas in the News / June 5, 2014
Do you have trouble pacing yourself while running? You could download a speedometer app for your iPhone. Or if gee-whiz is more your speed, hold out for this drone, currently in the works. The idea is that the drone—known as Joggobot—would fly a little bit ahead of you so you can regulate your speed. There are two modes—a rigorous "coach" setting that challenges you to keep up, plus a more casual mode that takes its cue from your pace.

Let this be a lesson to those of you who plan to visit Unalaska, Alaska (yes, it's a real city on Unalaska Island in the Aleutian Islands): If you park at Safeway with a garbage bag full of fish fillets in your pickup's bed, the eagles will find you. That's what happened above when an unidentified man parked his Nissan and returned to find a convocation of bald eagles feasting on his fish.
Neither the man nor those parked near his truck could get to their cars for fear of getting a beatdown from The 'Murica Bird, and police were called to break it up, which they did with neither beast nor fowl injured in the process.
Other than being awesome watching, other things we can take away from this video are the question who comes up with bird gathering names (a "murmuration" of herons and an "unkindness" of ravens?), and the bounty of this comment left by user "Abraham" at the KUCB news report: "It's just that the luxury edition has so much more eagle, it saddens me to think of you missing out." See what caused it all in the video below.
