It's been a rough 15 years for Captain Planet. Watching the world slowly get more and more polluted has taken its toll. No one's really sure how he pays the rent. The Planeteers don't call anymore.

This is severely out of character for Captain Planet. CP was always like a McDonalds mascot that presented a friendly way to save the environment to children. To see him act like a sociopath means he's been taken out of context (badly might I add), and he's been used in concept only to match the artist's own unique style. That isn't to say it's bad, I enjoyed it, but where are the Planateers?

Dear Friends,
Imagine a world where young people have no access to the dramatic arts and where students' test scores are the only measure of a child's success. In many parts of the country, this is the reality as schools continue to cut drama programs and families cannot afford to go to the theatre.
The dramatic arts teach young people life changing skills that improve their results in the core curriculum, led to academic success, and enhance their ability to think critically and creatively. Won't you help AATE keep theatre in our schools and schools in our theatres?
Consider making a tax-deductible donation to AATE today. Here's an example of what your gift will achieve:
We can't do it without you. Please consider making a gift today and help every child gain access to drama and theatre. Thank you so much for your support!

To Be Successful On The Internet You Need To Find A Legitimate Business Opportunity To Get Going With
For individuals that are looking to make money on the web with a legitimate internet business it is going to be important to know where you need to begin. Below you will find a lot of information on online organizations and how to choose one that's going to be legitimate. You may find yourself on the road to economic freedom if you stick to this advice, but you could also go in the other direction if you do not listen.
Network marketing and affiliate marketing and advertising are two of the most popular businesses that one could start. Advertising somebody else's website and producing product sales to earn yourself a commission is what affiliate advertising and marketing is centered on. The product is being sold at a website, and your only job is to get people to go to the site, where the product will be sold. With regards to Network Marketing you are going to see that you want to sign up folks under you in a business in order to produce income each and every month. The amount of cash you are able to end up creating is rather large due to the fact that you'll be earning not only on the work you do but on the work that the folks in your down line do as well. The bigger your organization grows, the bigger your commissions will grow, and every person will make cash.
Another thing I would like to point out about both these business opportunities is that it doesn't take a lot of cash to get going with either one of them. You're going to find with regards to affiliate marketing, you are going to be provided with a web site where all you will need to do is drive traffic to that page. You should also invest in a course teaching you the best ways to get traffic to the website, because without traffic you won't make any cash. In relation to Network Marketing something you ought to understand would be that you are going to be investing cash every single month on the product itself. That shouldn't be that big of an issue, simply because the company you have signed up with should be selling a product you like and use.
If you would like to achieve success, keep away from any company that ensures you'll make so much money, in so little time. You can not guarantee anything, it doesn't matter how good the product is mainly because you are trying to be building a business and it takes time. You can find both traffic generating programs along with free traffic producing information on the net, and it is important to get as much information as you can so you can be successful. If you decide to start advertising products as an affiliate marketer begin with one product and start to add new products when you start earning some cash. No matter what anyone has told you before or regardless of what you will hear in the future, building your business isn't a thing that will happen overnight it is going to take energy and time.

If you would like to achieve success online it's going to be very important for you to find a legitimate business opportunity and stick to it. Spend some time to find a business that fits you, and then work at it as hard as you can. best home based business for women

Coming Back With Wes Moore
Moving ForwardEpisode Guide »
In episode three, host Wes Moore highlights the drive veterans often have of finding a new mission. Revisiting Taylor Urruela, his immediate mission is succeeding in the competitive tryouts for the University of Tampa baseball team, despite the fact that he's missing a leg. He is also finding meaning in Vet Sports, an organization he co-founded that helps veterans socialize through playing a variety of sports. Bobby Henline is still on his new mission of helping others through his comedy, but his PTSD is still interfering with his home life. His personal mission is to overcome this and fix his relationship with his family. Earl Johnson, whose lies have caught up with him in the previous episode, struggles to keep his mission of revitalizing the Oliver. Tammy Duckworth, currently a Congresswoman from Illinois, was a helicopter pilot in Iraq and the survivor of a crash that caused her to lose both of her legs. In honor of those who saved her, Tammy now has a mission to continue serving the public and be a voice for her fellow vets. Finally, Wes meets Stacy Pearsall who was a war photographer who was hit by an IED in Iraq and now suffers with mild brain damage. Though she was told she'd never be able to be the photographer she once was, she now travels the country taking portraits of veterans as part of the Veteran's Portraits Project.

Jabrill Peppers is the highest-rated player in Michigan's freshman class. (John T. Greilick / Detroit News)
Chicago -- Jabrill Peppers hasn�t played a down yet at Michigan, but he was a hot topic at the Big Ten Media Days on Monday. In fact, the first question coach Brady Hoke fielded from the podium regarded the highly-rated defensive back.
Hoke said the plan for Peppers hasn�t changed � he will work in at nickel and go from there.
�I think we�ve got to be careful about anointing any true freshmen starting their college career, but that�s where he�ll start,� Hoke said.
So when does Hoke believe Peppers can be �anointed�?
�Let�s anoint him when he does something, right? I mean, let�s see what he can do,� Hoke said.
Later, Hoke talked more about Peppers, describing him as a grounded and also saying the coaching staff is looking forward to seeing how he develops.
�Are we excited and glad he�s a Michigan Wolverine? No doubt about it,� Hoke said. �Are we excited about what we�ll be able to see in the next couple of weeks? No doubt about it. But I don�t know if it�s fair for an 18-year-old or 17-year-old -- even though those kids, because of their abilities. ... They all like that attention to some degree, (but) to say he�s going to do this and be that, I don�t think that�s fair.
�Am I going to be out front with him and shield him from the pressure he could put on himself? No question. He�s not going to talk to the media a lot, I can promise you that. I want the kid to be a student-athlete at Michigan.�
There has been some talk that Peppers could, at some point, play on offense, as well.
�We�ll entertain anything that can help Michigan win,� Hoke said. �But at the same time, let�s get him grounded in what he�s doing and what his primary job will be.�

Novell + Microsoft – My POV
by Mez on Nov.03, 2006, under Geeky, Linux, Personal, Rants, Rants
First of all, before I start writing, I need to state the following.
This blog is published on Novell affiliated website(s) This post does in no way represent the view of Novell/Microsoft or any of their employees, and is only my own personal opinion on this subject.
For those of you who haven't already read, Novell and Microsoft have entered into 3 agreements of Collaboration between the companies. See here for more info
The way I see it is yes, this is a good thing in general for Linux. With Microsoft actively participating in the collaboration between open source and Windows, it can only be a good thing, finally, we will be able to integrate Windows and Linux clients seamlessly, they'll work together, and everything will be groovy.
For SUSE Enterprise customers.
Yes, this will bring technical advances and help with the proliferation of Linux, undoubtedly, but – the way the Press Release and FAQ are written, it seems to me that Novell and Microsoft will be working hand in hand to exclude anyone outside their customer bases from using anything that will come from this collaboration.
Novell, up to this point to me have seemed to make huge steps into the Open Source Market, making a lot of contributions in lots of projects, but with this announcement, it now seems that they just want themselves to benefit, not the rest of the FLOSS community. Do we really want Novell to become the "Microsoft" of Linux? Monopolising on the things that are going to get the paying customers to use their Products? I remember a quote from an interview with Novell's Greg Mancusi-Ungaro in LXF which was this
Well, if we ever woke up one day and said 'Wow, Novell is the Microsoft of Linux' or 'Red Hat is the Microsoft of Linux', then the Linux movement would be over.
I totally agree, but to me, it looks like this is a step in that direction for Novell.
By the way, feel free to flame me^W^Wcomment, I'd love to hear other people's opinions on this

Me? I'm still in a bit of shock. As a long time NetWare guy, Microsoft has been the Darkside for a very long time. Announcements like this take a guy from left field. Oof.
That said, you do raise some good points. Also keep in mind that this agreement is for five years, and any protections now in place may expire at that time. Any 'mutually infringing' patent issues that arise during this period that aren't subsequently licensed may end up in another flury of lawsuits. The patent protection clause(es) indemnify against any undiscovered/prosecuted existing infringements, but doesn't specify the state of any future items.
I have to expect that there will be some technical leakage out of Novell's OSS guys into the broader Linux/Opensource community as a result of this. I saw specific mentions of Samba in the marketing materials so far, which is encouraging. I'm remembering a sign on one of the Samba sites that if you've signed a specific MS agreement, you can't work on Samba dev. Perhaps they'll recind that, and Samba will become more palatable to me. Won't know until we get some years under our collective belts.
The three items, Virtualization, eDir/AD compatibility, and document format compatibility, all have their places but Virtualization is the one that grabbed my attention. Longhorn is supposed to have virtualization built in, Novell has Xen. And VMWare is what passes for the 800lbs gorilla in this market (will we see them at BrainShare this year?), this competes directly with that. I expect one of the early gains will be Xen-packaged Windows installs that'll work much better out of the box.
All that being true, Red Hat has taken some real blows lately. How they respond to it, and most importantly how their userbase responds to it, will be the real teller.
November 3rd, 2006 on 3:23 am
This dealt me a huge WTF when I got the Reuters Alert in my Inbox this morning. I have worked for the "evil empire" in the past, and I watched partnerships of theirs dissolve. When this happens, the partner either goes out of business, or Microsoft absorbs them. With the current status of Novell's financial situations, I don't see them standing much ground in any event that Microsoft can throw at them.
Look, most of us know that Microsoft doesn't get into partnerships for the good of the community, it is always for the good of Microsoft. That is why Oracle gave them the finger and decided to pursue open source solutions years ago. I don't think Microsoft looks at the Open Source community as a competitor, but more or less an enemy.
I am not a total law buff, but my understanding that GPL licensing that is in effect as of the partnership is fine and out of the scope/grasp of Microsoft, but what about future applications? How strong is the GPL when it comes to the attorneys at Microsoft? I mean, what are my chances of saving face if I create and application, make it GPL, and Microsoft grabs it because of some fluke agreement between them and Novell? Am I screwed, or do I have a leg to stand on?
Plus, everything they have committed to this partnership, could have been done without the partnership. That is why I don't trust it. The whole office standard stuff has been an issue forever, however before this partnership, all of the XML stuff was already being worked on. As for the virtualization, and this whole thing of Linux running on Microsoft and Microsoft running on Linux is confusing as well. Microsoft talks about this virtualization, but recently let it be known that it will be illegal to run Vista virtually.
Very skeptical on this entire thing. It just doesn't feel right to me. Plus Steve Ballmer can't pronounce Ubuntu correctly on TV either, so that makes me furious haha j/k! sysadmin1138 is right, we probably won't know for a few years anyways. And what does happen come 5 years from today? Just a very strange day, for Microsoft to finally step up to Open Source so late in the ballgame. They recognized it for more than 10 years, and just now they are doing something. Argh I hate this sick feeling in my gut

They will bribe them one buy one to turn on you, first it was SCO — Et tu, Novell?
November 3rd, 2006 on 3:58 pm
Well from what I have read so far, I've only seen marketing fluff. I don't expect Micosoft, after how hard they fought odf, and how much effort was put into reverse engineering doc to suddenly open of specs and let the gpl'ed openoffice work any better than it already does. I also don't expect Microsoft to suddenly throw engineers into samba development, when they can't even be bothered to show up to the international cifs conference. I guess I don't really understand what it means to allow their software to interoperate when we are talking about two different operating systems. Plus most of what SuSE ships is gpl'ed anyway. Thus any effort put into any of their products would be absorbed by the rest of the opensource community. As of now I can only call schanagins, and wait to see what actually transpires.
November 3rd, 2006 on 4:41 pm
I'm not active in any Open Source projects, and in cases like this it really shows. My key learnings are all in closed source operating systems and I'm slowly picking up how to do linux in the enterprise (at home is another story, 12 years there so far and counting). I don't know how OSS projects function on the inside.
When I said that there would be some technical leakage, I meant that. It may not be legal, and it may not be above-board. But it'll happen. Maybe a forked Samba that can't be used by a company worried about lawsuits, but actually works better than 'official' Samba. Again, won't know until we see how these two behave in the next five years.
But surely that technical leakage wont be covered by Novells agreement with Microsoft, and cause potential lawsuits against people like the OSDL (Microsoft only promised to not file against Individuals)
That depends on what leaks, and how it is handled inside the various projects (closed and open). I see that Samba can do NTLMv2 these days, which I rather like. It took them a l-o-n-g time to get that support in there, presumably because MS has encumbered all documentation about the protocol so it had to be reverse engineered. This suggests to me that the protocol itself isn't encumbered by patent protections, but the documentation about it is. If that is the case, and I'm not sure about that, then such technical leakage I described could carve potentially years off of the dev cycle. On the other hand, if the technology being developed is encumbered en toto then Samba developing the feature at all will get them sued; regardless of how the knowledge was aquired to build the feature in the first place.
Novell has a history of arrogant strong-arming. It's one of the reasons they missed the ball with Windows NT as much as they did. On the other hand, such reflexes are what you might call endemic in capitalist culture so it isn't terribly surprising. The current Novell CEO was put in place as a result of a shareholder revolt, and as we've learned this idea to talk with Microsoft came from the CEO. The fact that this deal strikes a lot of people as low-brow, 'protect the bottom line,' stuff doesn't surprise me at all in light of that fact.
I just hope that Novell has an institutional memory for what happened LAST time they tried to get cheecky with their installed base. I also hope that the Linux community is limber enough to throw off the closed-source shackles that have arrived in the past month, potential or otherwise.
Like I said above, how Red Hat handles all of this will be the real teller.
November 3rd, 2006 on 6:03 pm
Everyone who gets into bed with Microsoft gets fucked. It's as simple as that.
Ask VIVO. Ask Real. Ask Stacker. Ask Symantec and McAfee. Ask Kodak. Ask the guy who invented the scroll mouse. Ask L H.
So I'm with Admiral Ackbar on this one. Specifically, I think they want to get patented technology into Mono, wait for Novell Linux to become completely dependent on Mono, then either charge massive fees or blow it out of the water with a patent violation lawsuit.
In fact, I'm seriously considering switching from Ubuntu to Kubuntu specifically because of the fact that ubuntu-desktop now requires Mono.

If the linux community was based on trust, it would use the BSD license.
It isn't based on trust. It is based on a good-behavior enforcing license, the GPL. You don't get to choose wether you give back to the community.
I would take patches and open-source stuff from the devil himself.
Secondly, the target of Novell, the corporate world, has little to do with our commitment to freedom. I couldn't care less if they get a lousy deal. I don't see how these effects the groups of people we do care about: the nerds, the tweakers, the poor and the idealists.
Secondly Microsoft isn't evil. It's is just playing by the rules. Don't like the rules? Blame the game, not the winner. You can expect people to have moral standards. But companies are not people.
Most evil on this world takes place by spreading the responsibility. I'm just the lawyer I allow defend their rights in court. I'm just the programmer, I just make quality software. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If I wouldn't do this job, somebody else will.
It are all lame excuses off course, but doing the right thing requires a form of welfare not all of us have. What are the sacrifices we, 'the good people' really make?
We need to change the game. Not blame the players. Novell and Microsoft teaming up, makes sense. I can't really tell wether or not this turns out to be good or bad thing for us, or their customers. But I do know It's gonna be a good thing for them. So them taking that route makes sense.
Change the game.

On a side note:
Microsoft wants linux to be strong. They need some real competition to get the angry cats and dogs of their antitrust case.
If they can choose between: -being split, -having a real closed source competitor or -having linux as their competition. They are gonna pick linux. Because there will always be markets linux can't serve (and visa versa).
On the other hand they need to be very intelligent about what they are gonna do. If it means Novell is open-sourcing technology that is not free, because it violates MS patents, they they will see a lot of linux players separating themselves from it. They will be nothing more than another outside player.
Although this would mean Novell can be the bridge between the free world and the MS-slavery world. First a company switches to Novell. Ten years later all MS products are gone, they can switch to Ubuntu.
November 5th, 2006 on 1:38 pm
Don't Use any Novell solutions.
The problem here is when they contribute code to the
community. It's hard to audit this stuff. And, this
result to the ineffectiveness of Novell to work with
the community. therefore, it is but right that the
community bans Novell from further using FOSS codes.
Remember, that one great advantage of Linux is the
freedom against "vendor lock-in". With Novell
GNU/Linux flavors you are dealing with patented
technology. Worse, I don't think Microsoft would want
Novell's technology to become close at their
offerings; the innovation of Novell will become
controlled by Microsoft. The bottom line is to let
people stick with Microsoft — that is the clear ball
Another important thing to worry is the possibility of
Novell polluting the code of OpenOffice, as well as,
Samba. This could be a disaster to all Linux
distributions out there. With this Deadly pact we
will soon hear a Pirated Linux.
This will be deadly against the rest of Linux Distributions out there. Also, I hope Ubuntu will not become too dependent on Mono. Come on guys…. we can do better than Mono.
OpenSuse = a not so open Linux.
Suse = a vendor lock-in Linux experience.
Novell = the vendor that'll lock us in.

[...] After Microsoft and Novell's announcement that they are to start collaboration on tighter integration between Windows and (admittedly SuSE) Linux, there has been a lot of bollocks kicking around from people squealing "this will be bad", "this will be really bad", "oh no, it's the end of the world as we know it", and so on. $deity forbid two old-school rivals want to bury the hatchet and do something that's in the best interests of both their customers.

Ahead to 3.0 Suggested Assessment of the Suitability or Unsuitability of a Site
Waterlogging and poaching are the main problems associated with unsuitable sites.
2.1 Access to paddocks
In many cases this affects the stockman rather than the pigs directly. In particular, restricted access with tractors along roadways can cause delays in providing feed, water and straw to paddocks and also affect the movement of pigs between paddocks. Extra time spent carrying out these routines prevents stockmen carrying out other duties related to looking after the stock, such as observation, medication etc.
2.2 Access within the paddocks
Waterlogging within the paddocks makes movement of both stockmen and pigs difficult. This restricts access to feeding areas, water troughs and the huts.
2.3 Feeding areas
Wet, muddy areas should be avoided as the food will get trampled in and be wasted. As a result, all pigs in a group may not have their appropriate ration.
2.4 Wet beds in huts
A dry, strawed lying area is essential for all pigs. Wet conditions in the paddocks allow mud to be trampled into the huts, thus wetting the beds. This can be minimised in wet weather by using a "doormat" of straw in front of the hut. Young piglets are especially at risk from chilling if their beds are wet.
2.5 Health
Continuous wet conditions can cause foot problems in sows and increase the risk of chilling of piglets. This can itself increase the incidence of diseases.

My name is Kate and I absolutley hate brown bananas. Speckled. Brown. Evilness. There are a lot of them out there in the world. Too many. I document my hatred for them here.
So, there is low and then there is LOW. These are LOW. My friend Terry found these at a greengrocers in the This-is-basically-inedible Bin.
He must have been drawn to the red crosses that have been branded on them. It's actually the first time I have seen rotten fruit branded with a 'bring out your dead' style marker on them. I quite like it. I might start doing it every time I see a brown banana. I'm sure that will go down a storm in Co-op.
Anyway, he is now 'ripening' them further in his office draw. So that's normal.
Posted on March 20, 2012 ()
You might think that a new year would warrant a shelf-full of sparkly new and fresh bananas. Not in this shop. They have seen it fit to start the first working week of 2012 by offering these to people. Nothing says 'this is my year and nothing is going to stop me' like a bashed up banana. Think I'll stick to a bagel.
Posted on January 3, 2012 ()
Forget mistletoe and mulled wine, nothing says Christmas like a banana left to decay in a warm office for nearly a week. Well, that is if you are James Brown (no not that one) this one.
He left a banana to fester over the course of a week at his humid studio and sent me regular stomach turning updates about it 'looking like it might explode'.
Brace yourself for the photo-diary.
p.s. all I want for Christmas is a crispy green crunchy banana.
Posted on December 19, 2011 ()
What's worse than one brown banana? Two smug looking brown bananas spooning. Look at them there, probably plotting something really evil.Thanks to Marc Starr for pointing these two smutty things out to me.
Posted on December 8, 2011 ()
How moody is this? Found skulking about in the magneticNorth fruit bowl.
Posted on December 6, 2011 ()
My friend Sarah (@miss_SVLH) happened upon this fruit bowl of filth when she was visiting a friend recently. They make me want to scratch my own eyes out. And cry. And head-butt a wall. I won't though. Having a calming peppermint tea and thinking about unicorns and rainbows instead.
Posted on November 30, 2011 ()
These were spotted on a fruit and veg stall in London. They are like a bizarre, revolting colony of leper bananas. Horrific.
Posted on November 25, 2011 ()
My friend Helen (@helenrambo) spotted this heinous thing a few weeks ago. It was in the ladies toilet of a pub in Manchester. I am appalled by it and the fact they (who ever the banana belonged to) decided to ditch it whilst doing their ablutions in a pub toilet. I bet they are a JLS fan.

→ God of the sea, earthquakes, storms, and horses. Poseidon has built a great wealth for himself in New Olympia by becoming a big shipping mogul. The harbor is his, and when one looks out their window to the ocean line they see his fleet of ships and his shipping yards dotting New Olympia's coast. If money speaks, then Poseidon has much to say. He's a very influential business man in New Olympia and everyone respects him, or at least pretends to.

German guitarist Axel Rudi Pell is one of heavy metal's masterminds, thanks to his spiraling playing techniques and pinch-hitting riffs which crafted Pell as a mainstay in the hard rock genre for the majority of the hair metal '80s. His first band, Steeler, kicked off a mild career in Europe during the early part of the decade, issuing three albums (Steeler [1984], Rulin' the Earth [1985], Strike Back [1986]) prior to 1987's Undercover Animal, which signaled the beginning of Pell's long-sought solo career. This professional jaunt allowed Pell to fully expose his riveting playing power and collaborations between he and other musicians. His 1989 debut Wild Obsession showcased ex-Steeler's bassist Volker Krawczak and vocal charm from Charlie Huhn, but 1991's sophomore effort proved Pell's determination. Nasty Reputation was heavier, throttling with Rob Rock on vocals and a definitive stance for Pell to also breach upon neo-classical influences. Later albums such as Black Moon Pyramid (1996) and Oceans of Time (1998) were exquisitely mastered, churning similar sounds of Rainbow and Deep Purple. Axel Rudi Pell proved his single star status, almost celebratory, like guitar wizard Yngwie Malmsteen, throughout the '90s as well, issuing a slew of releases while remaining a chief force among the German charts. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

During a recent interview, Jim Ross revealed just how close Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin were in college. Ross was the one that recruited Lesnar into WWE, and when a contract was offered, Lesnar stated that he had a special stipulation he would like fulfilled. Lesnar told the company that he would sign the contract if they also gave a deal to Benjamin, who happened to be his roommate at the time.

Based on what she has accomplished, Vickie Guerrero has inspired several of the performers backstage in WWE. She was able to leave the business and start a new career. Guerrero went to college while working on the road for WWE. A lot of performers have long been worried if it would be possible for them to leave the road and settle into a new life.
August 8, 2014
In a brilliant move by Vince McMahon, WWE is now offering further assistance to former performers to help them transition to regular life. The company is offering up to $5000 a semester for college tuition. WWE is also giving free assistance with financial planning and debt management. The gesture should hopefully bring some positive publicity to the company that has been hit in the business department.
June 4, 2014
During a recent interview, Goldberg revealed that he recently let WWE know that he's interested in a return. He listed Triple H and Brock Lesnar as two opponents that he would love to work with. Goldberg also added Roman Reigns and noted that they both played college football at Georgia. The former world heavyweight champion feels that WWE can do a story out of that connection.

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.

"I had met Jim Ross and Jerry Brisco before I was even in college and they always told me to get your degree first and then we'll give you a shot if you want to come try your hand with the WWE. I graduated in May 2006, flew out to Atlanta for a week to tryout, and by July 2006 I was signed and training in Atlanta. I took a little bit different path than most WWE superstars have taken. I'm one of the few superstars who have gone through all three of the developmental camps." - Jack Swagger reveals his path to the WWE developmental program
April 21, 2014
While she did not leave the company after Wrestlemania 30 like rumored, Vickie Guerrero still intends on moving on from WWE at some point in time. She has already given notice to management, and she still continues to work on her college degree and business ventures. Guerrero wants to maintain a good working relationship with WWE.
April 17, 2014
Wrestlemania 30 and perhaps the next Monday Night Raw will be the last hurrah for Vickie Guerrero, as she is finishing up her tenure with WWE this weekend. The former on screen general manager has been focused on college over the past year, and she has also been trying to get a few business ventures up and running as well.

Earlier this month, Lilian Garcia and her band were in Las Vegas, performing concerts for NASCAR fans. It looks like they did well enough to where they were invited back to the city to do their music for people who are in town for March Madness, the annual college basketball tournament by the NCAA that draws in millions of people across the country.

Back when he was with the NWA, Mike Rotunda had an amateur wrestler gimmick when he teamed with Rick Steiner. It was actually based on his real life athletic career in college. Rotunda really did wrestle at Syracuse University. He was never an All American, though.
March 21, 2014
After a successful career as an amateur wrestler at the University of Michigan, Rick Steiner was discovered by George Steele, who convinced the college graduate to become a professional wrestler immediately after he finished school.

The location of Slammiversary 2014 has now been revealed. Dixie Carter and company will be hosting the pay per view in Dallas this year. It will be held at the College Park Center at the University of Texas at Arlington. The venue is just two years old and holds approximately 7000 people. The show takes place on June 15.

Prior to becoming a big star for WWE and TNA, Matt Hardy was quite the scholar. In high school, he won a scholarship to any college of his choosing to major in engineering. Shortly into his academics career, he was forced to withdraw from classes and leave, so that he could go home and take care of his sick father.
March 5, 2014
Prior to become a professional wrestler, the Honky Tonk Man had another career in mind. After graduating from college with an education degree, he became a high school football coach. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion only did that job for two years before deciding that he wanted to try something different.
March 2, 2014
Since she is now focusing on her education, new career and business, there is backstage heat towards Vickie Guerrero from a couple of people backstage in WWE. It has become apparent that she plans on leaving the company after she graduates from college, so management has decided not to push her much on television from here on out.
February 22, 2014
While wrestling fans only know of him as an announcer, Byron Saxton, who made his way back to Monday Night Raw this week, is viewed very highly backstage, as he has shown quite a bit of versatility with a variety of behind the scenes stuff. Saxton has also been lauded for receiving a college degree before joining WWE.
February 14, 2014
Brooke Hogan will be seeing a very familiar face on the set when College Fright night starts filming later on this year. WWE legend Jake Roberts will be appearing the movie with her. He is playing a character named Richard Hertz. It's a movie about college students and vampires. As of right now, the film is set to be released on October 24.
February 8, 2014
The belief is that Vickie Guerrero will leave WWE in the near future, quite possibly around the time that she graduates from college and receives her medical administration degree. The feeling is that her character has already reached its peak and that the widow of Eddie Guerrero simply wants to stop being on the road every single week of the year.
February 8, 2014
Several guys who played college football for West Texas A&M University went on to become professional wrestlers, and one of those guys was Merced Solis, better known to WWE fans as Tito Santana. He played the tight end position, and his quarterback was future Four Horsemen member Tully Blanchard.
February 7, 2014
While he may not be on great terms with WWE officials, Mick Foley apparently is still on very good terms with a lot of the performers. A handful of them, including Road Dogg, took the time and made the effort to go watch his comedy show in Ventura. The venue is approximately 90 minutes away from the Staples Center, where Summerslam 2014 will be held.
August 16, 2014
Since the company has been releasing people left and right due to the budget cuts, there is some understandable paranoia backstage in WWE nowadays. Recently, people were under the impression that Road Dogg had been released because he was not around for a couple of the television taping. However, it turned out to be a false alarm, as the former Intercontinental Champion was simply on vacation.

The belief backstage in WWE is that Road Dogg is going to be winding down his days as an active in ring performer now that Wrestlemania 30 is over and done with. His tag team partner Billy Gunn suffered an injury during the big six man tag team match at the pay per view, so management is contemplating a scenario where they are written off of television.
April 8, 2014
At Wrestlemania 30, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns completely destroyed Kane, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn in a six man tag team match. The Shield captured the win over the Authority with a triple power bomb on both members of the New Age Outlaws at the same time. That led to an easy pin fall victory for the Shield at Wrestlemania.
April 6, 2014
While plans are constantly being changed throughout the week, WWE currently has Kane, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in the opening match at Wrestlemania 30. The belief is that the audience in New Orleans should give these guys a nice pop since all six guys are fairly over.
April 5, 2014
Since management was having trouble trying to figure out where to put everyone, a last minute decision was made to do a six man tag team match so that WWE could get Kane, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins on the Wrestlemania 30 card. Reigns initially had a much bigger role on the pay per view.
March 25, 2014
In a sign that they still have a good amount of backstage power, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn have been pushing management to let them work with the Shield before WWE has Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins going their separate ways. It looks like the company will be giving them that chance at Wrestlemania 30 in the Kane story line.
March 21, 2014
Management is still trying to do decide what to do with Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso at Wrestlemania 30. While there were plans initially to have them involved in a big tag team match for the championship, those are in jeopardy of not coming to fruition because of the injuries to Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. They're still guaranteed a spot on the card, though.
March 16, 2014
There are those within WWE that want the tag team championship defended at Wrestlemania 30, and the favored match involves Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. However, the chances of that happening all fall upon Road Dogg, who is currently suffering from a back injury. The Usos could be thrown into the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal if Road Dogg cannot work the tag match.
March 13, 2014
Earlier, it was revealed that Road Dogg and Billy Gunn were both banged up, so WWE opted to put the tag team championship on Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. Word is coming out now that Road Dogg has a bad back. He noted that was receiving treatment for the injury, and there is still a possibility that he ends up working the Wrestlemania 30 card.
March 8, 2014
The Usos were given the tag team championship recently, so that WWE could help to control the hostile audience at Monday Night Raw. Another reason for the change could be the health of Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. Both guys are said to be banged up a bit, as they ended up working a lot more matches that they initially thought they would.
March 8, 2014
After winning the WWE tag team championship from Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, the Usos decided to pay tribute to their fallen uncle. Through Twitter, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso posted this special message and picture about Umaga, who is the younger brother of their father Rikishi.
March 5, 2014
While it was heavily rumored to take place at Wrestlemania 30, WWE opted to go with the title change on Monday Night Raw instead, so Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso are your new tag team champions. They were able to defeat Billy Gunn and Road Dogg for the belts early on in the show. The belief is that it was done to help appease the Chicago crowd.
March 4, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were given a victory over Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, in order to get some heat back after losing at Elimination Chamber 2014. Apparently, WWE does not feel that it is important enough to include in the Hulu broadcast of the show this week. Despite that, the Usos are still expected to be on the Wrestlemania 30 main card.
February 25, 2014
Even though they lost at Elimination Chamber 2014, there are talks that Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso could be given a rematch tonight on Monday Night Raw. Since WWE wants it to be a special episode, they're wanting at least one title change to take place. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn could be the casualties of the creative department tonight.
February 24, 2014
Experience defeated youth at Elimination Chamber 2014, as Billy Gunn and Road Dogg were successfully able to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship by defeating Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso.
February 23, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso are about to live out a dream, as it has now been announced that the Usos will be challenging Road Dogg and Billy Gunn for the WWE tag team championship at Elimination Chamber 2014. It was initially believed that other teams were going to be thrown into the mix as well, but it will now be a straight up tag team match.
February 17, 2014
Since WWE wants a tag team championship match at Elimination Chamber 2014, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn are assured of a spot on the card. It looks like management is leaning towards a fatal four way match. The other contestants are most likely going to be Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Jack Swagger, Antonio Cesaro, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso.
February 16, 2014
While it appears that a push was started for Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso on Monday Night Raw, the feeling backstage is that they are simply being utilized as filler, in order to help elevate Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. WWE did not even bother including their match against Curtis Axel and Ryback on the Hulu broadcast of Raw this week.
February 12, 2014
While some fans online have taken to blaming the veteran performer for not being more careful in the ring, there appears to be no backstage heat on Road Dogg right now for the spot in the steel cage match on Monday Night Raw, where Cody Rhodes injured himself while doing a moonsault off the top of the structure.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A western Pennsylvania woman has sued a county sheriff's deputies and its jail claiming her lower arm had to be amputated due to rough treatment during her arrest followed by improper medical treatment once she was incarcerated.
Attorney Marvin Leibowitz says his client, 35-year-old Amy Needham, feels her life is "ruined" by her injuries.
Needham says five deputies broke down her door on April 2 and arrested her for a missing a court hearing on a charge that was eventually reduced to disorderly conduct — a citation.
She says they twisted her arm and put on handcuffs that were too tight, affecting the blood flow and nerves in the limb. Once jailed, Needham contends staff denied 16 requests for medical attention before she was hospitalized and had the arm amputated.
A spokeswoman says the county doesn't comment on litigation.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Kind words Saturday about a Patrick Henry High School freshman who died from an apparent case of meningitis.
Jewelean Pimentel passed away Thursday night just two days after getting sick.
Saturday, the star cheerleader is being remembered as a talented young girl with a bright smile.
Jewelean's family released a statement saying in part, "The illness moved devastatingly quickly. Jewelean complained of a headache after school Tuesday; her parents took her to the hospital early Wednesday morning and she died Thursday night at Rady's Children's Hospital."
The family has no idea how she became infected. No one else in the family is ill -- adding that Jewelean received regular check ups and was up to date on her vaccinations.
Brendan Mathews, a choreographer at Cheerforce in El Cajon, says his cheer family is in utter shock about the sudden death of one of their own.
"She's just the girl that made you smile," Mathews said.
Jewelean, a standout cheerleader at Patrick Henry High School, died Thursday after contracting meningitis.
Her cheer coach says she last saw the 9th grade student on Tuesday during practice.
"She just said coach I'm not feeling that great and I said, 'ok honey you don't have to participate,'" Cheerforce co-owner Jennifer Long said.
Tuesday night Jewel was taken to the hospital.
"Her mom and I were in contact for the past two days...just giving me updates. She updated me on Thursday saying that she was stable and that it was the best she had been doing all day," Long said.
But then things took a devastating turn for the high school freshman.
"You never anticipate for an athlete to say that they don't feel well and then two days later she's no longer with us...in my 20 years of coaching that's never happened," Long said.
Jennifer Long says Jewel had raw talent coming into Cheerforce and was quickly placed on a higher level team.
Her infectious smile lit up the room.
"Aways so positive...we're tough coaches here at Cheerforce and tough love is something that we practice quite a bit, and she took it all with a smile," Brendan Mathews said.
Brendan says the biggest heartbreak is for Jewel's baby sister Jorja who followed in her sister's footsteps. Little Jorja's cheer squad released green balloons in honor of her big sister.
"Her team practiced yesterday, she was not here, but we signed balloons for her with messages and all the little kids were excited that she was going to read them in heaven," Mathews said.
Cheerforce was Jewel's second family -- with two major upcoming cheer competitions, they say they are now dedicating their season to her.
Honoring and remembering a young girl that taught them to find strength from with in.
"We all know Jewel would want us to be just as vibrant and happy," Mathews said.
The family says tests are being done to determine whether or not she died due to meningitis.
The-14-year-old freshman is from a very close knit family. The oldest of four children. Her family says they are thankful for the overwhelming support.
The family is in need of financial support as they grieve the loss of their daughter. If you would like to help the family with any expenses surrounding this tragedy, CLICK HERE>>.

They might change there minds about your dates. Chances are though your friends baby is on the smaller side and yours id on the larger. Even if they change their minds about when your due chances are it'll be a matter of days rather than weeks difference. How far are you? Is your 20 week scan soon? Sounds like you are only half way through at most you've still got 20 wks to go so try and relax. Easier said than done I know. Maybe begin to ask your friends to move there stuff and give them a deadline as to when it needs to be gone by?
Good luck honey.
Eowyn (38wks 4dys)
Hi Joanna, I very much doubt they would have got your dates wrong. When you have your dating scan, the ultrasonographer measures the circumfrance of the babies head and its the software within the ultrasound machine thats says how many weeks old the baby is.
Try not to worry yourself. If you feel neccessary maybe you should explain the situation to your friends and kindly ask them to start thinking about moving their stuff out. But remember, for the first 3 months or so of the baby being born, that babyw will probably be in your bedroom. So try not to worry yourself hun.
Hope that helps
my 20 week scan is tomorrow i'm really nervous
i want to paint my nursery which i need to do early enough to let the fumes go before baby is born and i've been told i'm not allowed to paint after a certain time i really wanna do it myself

Interactive Bag design – Fabrication Bag
Thermo-chromic ink for screen-printing on textiles combined with conductive yarn on the backside to control the color change of the thermo-chromic print is a technique that paints – literally – dynamic pattern changes onto textiles.
Linda Worbin, doctoral candidate in Textiles and Interaction Design at the Swedish School of Textiles has explored over the past few years smart and interactive textiles using thermo-chromic inks, LEDs as well as electroluminescent wires to create interactive textile displays.
Out of her large portfolio of different objects the Fabrication Bag is for me the most stunning one, maybe because it looks and works as it could become reality anytime soon – provided a manufacturer would pick this idea up.
The concept of the Fabrication Bag is to be meant as an accessory to cell phones that replaces the sound and vibration signals with changes in dynamic textile patterns on the outside and inside of a bag.
The textile of the bag contains multiple layers of thermo-chromic silk-screen print dots that are activated by heat patches underneath. When a incoming call is detected different areas of the heat elements are activated and initiate localized heating of the thermo-chromic print.
We have seen various products and design concepts of an incoming call alert but the Fabrication Bag from Linda Worbin is the most beautiful variant of all.

[...] Published by Sierra Monica B., on Dec 24 2008, in the categories: Gadgets This is not the first time that we hear about http://www.techpin.com/thermochromic/ thermochromic paint, which senses the heat levels revealing its color. The best example of the use of thermochromic paint is in the wallpaper with green plants that start blossom as soon as your room heater turns on, spreading wonderful roses allover your wall like magic. Thermochromic paint enables amazing effect and can be used in various applications such as wearable textiles and everyday accessories. This Fabrication Bag was created by Linda Worbin, a designer who was attracted by interactive textiles, thermochromic paint, low-power consuming LED lights and electroluminescent wires. Embedded in this bag we find thermochromic paint and conductive yarn on the back that brings the bag to live, enabling cool color patterns, just like in the image. If yu keep your cell phone inside the bag, as you receive a call, the vibration signals enable dynamic textile patterns on the bag's exterior so you'll know someone tries to reach you. This offers you the possibility to choose if to answer right away o call back later. (Source Talk2myshirt) [...]
