Recipe: Wine-Braised Cabbage
Braising ribbons of cabbage in butter and wine steams away the sharp, sometimes bitter flavor of raw cabbage, leaving an entirely new vegetable. It's soft, sweet and juicy - a warm, delicate vegetable for a winter's evening. Dusted with fresh Parmesan it's even better.
Wine-Braised Cabbage
1 head green or Savoy cabbage
4 cloves garlic, smashed
3 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup white wine
Salt and pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Take the outer leaves off the cabbage and rinse it. Cut it into quarters and core it, then slice each quarter into ribbons.
Heat the butter in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. When it has melted, add the garlic and cook until golden and soft. Add the cabbage and stir until the cabbage is coated in butter. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat until the cabbage is translucent and beginning to brown a little - about 5-8 minutes.
Add the wine and bring to a light boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the cabbage is tender. Season with salt and pepper and serve with fresh Parmesan. This keeps very well and even improves over a few days in the fridge.

i just got two cabbages in my csa box today - perfect timing! thanks.
I don't particularily care for cooked cabage, but this sounds down right tasty:)
This sounds fabulous! You might also consider adding a 1/2 teaspoon or so of caraway or fennel seeds at the end--for a nice visual effect as well as another bit of flavor.
I made this last night and it was yummy. Granted, both my husband and I love cabbage, but I never thought of making it this way. It's a keeper.
I was going to make cream braised cabbage, but this is next on my list now!
I made this tonight and it was fabulous. Elevates the humble cabbage to a new level. I might try this again with red cabbage and red wine - seems like that would work too! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Hard to believe you posted this in 2007!!! Coming back to this delicious way to use up the rest of my cabbage yet again :) See you soon, friend!

A great suggestion no matter how long ago it was posted! This was the perfect easy accompaniment to our family dinner of curried tofu and brown rice. Today we'll enjoy the leftovers. It's now bookmarked on my pinterest board.
Thanks for the recipe.

All books on the Master List are still available! Bili na! Hahaha.
Someone asked if I have/ sell this or that book. The answer: if it's not on the list, then I don't have it. Even if I do have it, but it's not on the list, it's not for sale.

Wow! I really didn't think this blog would have followers. Again, wow! Really, thanks for following! Anyway, I just received a message from an interested buyer. MY. FIRST. NON-FRIEND. BUYER. Seriously. And to answer her question, Sidney Sheldon's Nothing Lasts Forever is still available. Very much available. Actually, all the books on the master list are still available. Sadly, no one's been interested in buying them. :[
And to those who have just stumbled upon this i-am-desperate-for-money-so-please-buy-these-books blog and are interested, please read the Terms and Conditions page before anything else, so you won't rush into things. Then check out the books available on the Master List page. :]

Mike Relm::House of Blues Chicago::10/15/10
I've already written about Mike Relm and what he does. You can see what Mike is about on his YouTube channel. He's an internet phenom. But you're only catching part of the show online. He can produce in the studio, but he owns when seen live. Check out some of his live vids if you want to see what i mean.
I wound my way down to the House of Blues downtown to see the man himself on Saturday night. We met up before his set and caught up on all things geek and spoke about headphones for a bit as well. He uses the SRH750DJ cans live to monitor and M44-7 cartridges on the decks.

DeKalb, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Jordan Aaron scored 16 points as the Milwaukee Panthers held on for a 64-61 victory over the San Jose State Spartans during the NIU Invitational at the NIU Convocation Center.
Jordan hit three shots from beyond the arc but was just 4-of-16 from the floor overall for Milwaukee (2-1). Austin Arians added 14 points, Steve McWhorter tallied 12 points and five assists and Matt Tiby contributed 12 points and eight rebounds.
Rashad Muhammad came off the bench to score a game-high 17 points for San Jose State (0-2). Jalen Jones added 12 points, six rebounds and five assists, Jaleel Williams finished with 11 points and Brandon Mitchell tacked on 10 as a reserve.
Milwaukee clung to a 28-26 lead at halftime after netting 44 percent from the field in the first half. San Jose State shot at just a 37 percent clip but remained within striking distance.
Despite shooting at a 30.8 percent rate after the break the Panthers were able to hold off the Spartans by doubling them up from the free throw line (16-8).
Milwaukee forced 18 turnovers, which turned into 20 points while the Spartans had just five points off of turnovers.

If you've never seen one before, a lovie can seem kind of strange. In a nutshell, it's a small blankie with a head on it. Sounds weird, but these beloved transitional objects give babies something fun to touch and cuddle in the crib without the safety concerns of larger plush toys or blankets.
Angel Dear Owl, $13
Bunnies By The Bay Bye Bye Buddy, $15
MiYim Elephant, $15
Restoration Hardware Baby & Child Cow, $24
Under The Nile Blanket Friend, $15 each
Ask your pediatrician about when it's safe to put a toy in your baby's crib.

**ALWAYS buy in pairs!**
My daughter has Bunnies by the Bay "Lily Mae" at home and "Skip It" at school. They are super cute and are still looking good, even after being well loved.
My 3 year old son just adores his Angel Dear monkey. And more than 2 years later, it still looks great. It's easy to wash and wears well. I just bought the pink monkey for my infant daughter and hope she loves it as much. And I agree to buy in pairs--you never know when it might get lost, or if nothing else, you'll have a second for when it's in the wash. My son still hasn't figure out that I have two. :)
I have two of the Angel Dear owls. So cute and they wash so well.
Buying two is a good idea. We found a new one at a consignment store that my daughter fell in love with. After a near loss scare we had to track down the original source (Pottery Barn Kids) only to find out they were discontinued. $30 on Ebay later we had a twin, but our daughter had already bonded to discolored gray-ish froggy and had no need for the clean twin. The next child is getting their lovie switched out regularly to avoid this happening again. :)
Amen mlissa! Buying two is very smart. We weren't sure which one my daughter would cling to and of course she chose the one toy that is now discontinued. Of course, I could get one on ebay for a cool $50. ugh. If you do buy two, then switch them out from time to time so they gain the same wear. My nephew refused the clean one right away.
we bought 2 of the angel dear owls. i think they're adorable. my daughter (14 months) completely doesn't care at this point.
We have the owl lovie for my son (10 mos). We actually have 3, given as a gift in a box labeled "a pair and a spare." I rotate them through the wash regularly. He's always so happy to see his owly at bedtime!
we have three of the duck! well a fourth in the closet awaiting to be gifted. i buy mine from little dudes and divas they have the best prices. our son dose not care that two of them are exact and the third has his eyes closed. he also is well aware there is more than one duck. he also sleeps with a curious george toy, which we have three. we wash them regularly and they hold up wonderfuly. i like the three because you never know if he will drop them on a public nasty floor, temp loose one, or get one wet.
We were gifted one of these the day my son was born. I thought it was weird at first, but it was easy and safe to give to him when he was small and now that he is 21 months it is the only thing he has become attached to (other than the binky). We keep saying we need to find another one!
We were given the "Cuskie" http://www.cuski.co.uk/ when my first son was born. Parents are meant to sleep with it for a few days to get their scent on it, then transfer it to the baby's crib.
He's now 2.5 years old and sleeps with it for every nap and every night. It's a blessing and a curse, as we only have one. But it sure comforts him, especially since we gave away his soother to Santa at Christmas. (That worked great. I highly recommend it to parents wanting to break the pacifier habit.) Now his "Horsey" (as he calls it) is his only special sleep aid.
Not sure yet what our 4 month old baby will cotton on to...
Is my daughter weird? She never liked these...but she will take 12 baby dolls, thank you.
Yeah...my kids never liked them either. I've personally always been a "toy purist" - I don't mean all natural materials, but I think teddy bears should be brown; elephants should be gray, Legos should be played with Legos, etc. I try not to enforce my odd toy views on my children, but I have to admit I breathed a sigh of relief when they didn't like these. I mean...a toy head...and a blanket body? No, no, no!!
My 9 month old cousin loves her iggle piggle lovie. She will never, ever let go of it. It's her comfort toy.
My 14 month old is hooked on her "LuLu"... the lamb by Angel Dear. Can't sleep without her. Washes well and dries quickly. And yes, we too have two!
Ducky (angel dear) is a huge comfort to my first. My second (2) on the other hand has always shuned cuddley toys and sleeps with a hockey stick or a pez dispenser...kids.
I'm a new mom and I got one of these at my baby shower. I thought, "what the hell is this??" Thank you for answering my question. I just got it out of the baby basket and gave it to my sleepy baby. Here's hoping he one day transitions from Mama's Warm Booby to Cuddly Lovie.
At what age do babies usually become attached to lovies? I've provided my 10 month old baby with a variety of lovies, soft blankets, etc. but she has yet to show any interest in them at all or "choose" one in particular, even the nap blanket that goes with her every day to daycare.
my little guy became attached to his owlie at around 9 months... and now, at 17 months, he wants to be near him at all times. it's kind of nice to watch him grab his owl for a sniff and snuggle when he is feeling a bit overwhelmed... but nothing beats the mama/owl combo! oh, and we have 5 because i am paranoid we will lose some. i swap them out regularly and rotate them so he can't tell the difference in wear. so far he's snowed...
Bowie outgrew his PBK Lovey at about a year old... or more accurately, replaced him. We gave him a flat cushy elephant toy that he named "Buddy." He is rolling up on 4 and Buddy still goes everywhere.
Starting to look for a lovey for the new baby due in May.
these just look like roadkill to me and i can't get that out of my head. i hope my upcoming little boy doesn't care for them!
My baby has the dinosaur version of the owl, but doesn't care much for it. He LOVES his Aiden & Anais security blanket. Just had to buy a second one after two very long days of cranky baby when his was in the laundry pile!

Untitled inspiration
"Ranner's impenetrable interior models radiate an oppressive aura of alienation and isolation, which she heightens by erecting them as free-standing constructions. Consequently, visitors can only view the interiors from the outside – as if they were looking at paintings. The spaces are reminiscent of sets where a scene has just been played out, or is about to begin. This makes for a theatrical feel. But because the interiors are completely devoid of distinguishing personal features, they are also utterly anonymous – much as most hotel rooms are. Through her installations, Ranner exposes a typically modern void: the loneliness resulting from detachment."
Roland Tiangco - Dirt Poster (2011)
The back of the poster is covered with a fine black dust which, when rubbed against the white front, reveals the typography.

Lucinda Devlin - The Omega Suites (1991-98)
"In 1991, Lucinda Devlin began photographing penitentiaries across the United States with the permission and cooperation of local authorities. She entitled the resulting series, completed in 1998, The Omega Suites, — alluding to the final letter of the Greek alphabet as a metaphor for the finality of execution.
Working with a Hasselblad camera and long exposures in existing light, Devlin captured striking images of the architectural spaces in penitentiaries. Viewers are often drawn to her compositions and then repelled by the reality of the subject. The carefully composed and clinically sterile images are as objective as our preconceptions allow."

About My Photography
I have a pretty decent point and shoot that I use with a titanium case to take up the cliff face, which a lot of people ask me about.
But generally my photographing skills involve taking photos with people in and doing my best to make sure it's not blurry, if it ends up being a really well taken photo it's sheer luck.
Anything Else We Should Know
Almost certainly, but I can't think of it right now.

Thanks for the post. Great scientific research work shown as well as ordinary witnesses makes good disclosure. If scietists in more countries were doing the same as the Norwegians, we would maybe get more answers to the UFO question and also put all the moronic sceptics to bed once and for all. Well done Djdamm.

Counsel from the Cross
- Tuesday, July 14, 2009
You see, if certain concepts in Scripture have become white noise to us, it will be all too easy to read a verse like Ephesians 5:1 and see only its obligations. I, too, can see myself using the verse to develop a list of the attributes of God and then making a plan to implement those attributes in my daily life. God is holy, merciful, righteous and just. This month I will concentrate on being holy. I'll research what it means and then I'll try to implement it in my life. Next month I'll . . . Because I'm like you, if you asked me what I saw in that verse I would tell you, "We're called to imitate God."
Our propensity to disregard the familiar can be so very detrimental to our faith. When the rest of the verse, "therefore" and "as beloved children," has become white noise to our spiritual ears, we will quickly gloss over it without stopping to consider why it's there or what it's meant to tell us. We won't think to ask why the Holy Spirit positioned such a daunting command in the context of such familiar words. Instead, we will be quick to strip out the familiar and boil down Scripture to a tidy little take-away list of do's and don'ts.
What actually gets relegated to this position of irrelevance is nothing less than the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ, nothing less than Jesus' accomplishments through his incarnation, sinless life, death, resurrection, and ascension. Because we are so familiar with the gospel message, it gets shoved to the periphery of our spiritual consciousness and becomes nothing more than words to be remembered at Christmas and Easter. The truths represented by "therefore" and "as beloved children" are like the constant din of the Interstate 15—unless someone draws your attention to them, they just don't register.
When we lose those truths, what takes center stage in our awareness? We do, of course. When we lose the centrality of the cross, Christianity morphs into a religion of self-improvement and becomes about us, about our accomplishments, and about getting our act together. We become people who ask WWJD (What would Jesus do?)1 without ever considering the gospel or WDJD (What did Jesus do?). Although most of us recognize that Jesus' work is somehow tied to our work, we don't know quite how or why. For instance, if I asked you how the ascension informs and impacts your life today, would you be able to tell me?
To illustrate how detrimental it is to push gospel declarations out to the margins of our awareness, let's see what "therefore" and "as beloved children" from Ephesians 5:1 tell us.
You Are Forgiven
Ephesians 4:32, the verse that immediately precedes Ephesians 5:1, reminds us of a wonderful truth: God in Christ has forgiven us. When Paul commands Christians to imitate God, he does so in light of a very specific divine action: "God in Christ forgave you." What he is saying is this: because you have already been forgiven, you can and should imitate God. Because God has already declared that he will not hold your sins against you, you can adopt this attitude of grace with others.That's why Ephesians 5:1 begins with "therefore": "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children." The "therefore" is a gospel declaration, meant to comfort, encourage, and inform you before you get to the gospel obligation, "be imitators of God."
You might be wondering why it is so important to hear yet again what Jesus has already done. After all, haven't we heard that message before? Why would we need to hear it again? We need to hear it again because if we have forgotten his work on our behalf, it will skew the way we think of him, the way we think of ourselves, and the way we think of others. In addition, we will miss the emphasis on imitating God's forgiveness that this verse is meant to communicate, not just a generic imitation of Godlike qualities but a specific imitation of his forgiveness.

I am tired of being called a shrieking harridan for pointing out inequalities so tangible and blatant that they are regularly codified into law. I am tired of being told to provide documentation of inequality in the comments sections of a website where a staff of smart women documents inequality as fast as our fingers can move. Like, you might as well write me a note on a banana peel demanding that I prove to you that bananas exist. I am tired of being asked to "cite sources" proving that sexism is real (that RAPE is real, even!), because there is no way to concisely cite decades and decades of rigorous academia. Allow me to point at the fucking library. We can't cite "everything," and our challengers know that. It's an insulting diversionary tactic, it's an attempt to drag us all backwards, and fuck it. Do your own research like the rest of the grown-ups.
What are you supposed to do when someone asks you to "prove" that feminism isn't a massive conspiracy theory in a country where we've only had 39 female senators in the nation's entire history, and 20 of them are serving right now? What kind of a stupid fucking question is that? What are you supposed to say when the 8,000th faux-incredulous jackass throws you the same argument about the wage gap or the draft or bumbling dads in Tide commercials—as though holding each of their hands individually through the empirical facts of the world around us is a worthwhile use of my time. As though feminist academics haven't filled books (decades of books) with answers to that shit already. As though they believe that if they can keep you occupied refuting their flimsy trump cards over and over forever, they can stave off any changes to the culture that keeps them on top.

In Airbnb We Trust
Most people in the RISD community have heard the Airbnb story – starring artrepreneurial alums Brian Chesky 04 ID and Joe Gebbia 05 GD/ID – many times. Yesterday, op-ed columnist Thomas Friedman used it as the basis for a great piece in the Sunday New York Times called Welcome to the 'Sharing Economy'.
Friedman points out that "Airbnb's real innovation is not online rentals. It's 'trust.' It created a framework of trust that has made tens of thousands of people comfortable renting rooms in their homes to strangers." [Check out the video in our post from earlier this month to see how the concept works.] And he quotes Chesky as saying:
"It used to be that corporations and brands had all the trust, [but now a total stranger] can be trusted like a company and provide the services of a company. And once you unlock that idea, it is so much bigger than homes…. There is a whole generation of people that don't want everything mass produced. They want things that are unique and personal."
Friedman also talks about the growing subculture of sharing, noting that the Airbnb concept has "spawned its own ecosystem – ordinary people who will now come clean your home, coordinate key exchanges, cook dinner for you and your guests," etc., etc.

Alcohol and PregnancyAlcohol consumption by the mother is a leading cause of preventable birth defects in the fetus. In addition, the risk for miscarriage and stillbirth increases with alcohol consumption.
Anatomy: Fetus in UteroA thin-walled sac surrounds the fetus during pregnancy. The sac is filled with amniotic fluid, which protects the fetus from injury.
Birth StatisticsStatistics relating to birth rates
Bottle-FeedingDetailed information on bottle-feeding, including information on the different types of baby formula
Breast Milk Is the Best MilkYour milk contains just the right balance of nutrients, and it contains them in a form most easily used by the human baby's immature body systems.

Breastfeeding Difficulties - MotherDetailed information on breastfeeding difficulties of the mother, including sore nipples, low breast milk production, flat nipples, plugged milk ducts, and mastitis
Breastfeeding: Getting StartedThe first weeks of breastfeeding should be considered a learning period for both you and your baby. Don't expect to work as a coordinated team immediately.
Calculating a Due DateFirst, determine the first day of your last menstrual period. Next, count back three calendar months and add one year and seven days to that date.
Care of the Baby in the Delivery RoomA newborn baby is wet from the amniotic fluid and can easily become cold. Drying the baby and using warm blankets and heat lamps can help prevent heat loss. Often a knitted hat is placed on the baby's head.
Caring for the Mother: Physically and EmotionallyNap when your baby naps. Take warm, shallow baths several times a day if you had stitches after delivery. Wear a supportive bra and use warm compresses to help with milk letdown.
Common Discomforts During PregnancyNausea and vomiting are common in the first trimester, as is fatigue. Other common discomforts are hemorrhoids and heartburn.
Common Tests During PregnancyCertain tests and screenings may be scheduled during your pregnancy. Your health care provider will advise you on which tests you'll need.
Complications of PregnancySome of the more common complications of pregnancy are miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and bleeding.
DeliveryIn preparation of the delivery, you may be moved into a birthing room or delivery room, or you may remain in the same room for both labor and delivery.
Effective BreastfeedingThink there's only one way to breast-feed? Think again! Moms can position their babies in several positions during feeding time that can be comfortable for both.
Effective SuckingIt's important for your baby's health to be able to effectively remove milk from your breast during nursing. To do this, your baby must learn the proper way to suck. But how do you know if your baby is actually getting the nutrition he/she needs? Here's a
Exercise During PregnancyIf you exercised before pregnancy, you can safely continue exercising. If you were inactive or you have medical complications, talk with your doctor before beginning to exercise.

Taylor Wilde
Real Name
Shantelle Malawski
Date of Birth
January 26, 1986
Place of Birth
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
Reports have surfaced that Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to work Hell in a Cell 2014. The WWE champion has caused quite a headache for the front office. Management has to be selective about when they use him because they have to pay him accordingly. The creative department has a dilemma because they know that they cannot keep having Lesnar wrestle John Cena, and there's not a lot of performers on the roster that has enough name value to work with Lesnar.
September 25, 2014
It appears that WWE might be done with the feud between Miz and Dolph Ziggler, two performers who were largely neglected by the creative department for a good period of time. Management wants to move Ziggler onto another challenge, and the name being tossed around the most is Antonio Cesaro. WWE is still high on Cesaro, even though he has not received a consistent push as of late.
September 23, 2014
One of the more interesting things in WWE nowadays is the feud between AJ Lee and Paige. It's not so much about what has happened on television, as much as it is about what can possibly happen next. The creative department has teased sexual tension between the two performers, but management knows that it cannot go too far because of potential backlash from advertisers. With WWE needing to create a buzz for the product, it will be interesting to see how close to the line that they're willing to step.
September 17, 2014
For those of you that have been wondering about his whereabouts, Christian is definitely still with WWE. In fact, he has reportedly been medically cleared to make a return for quite some time now. However, management is simply choosing not to utilize him at this point. The creative department has not bothered to write a story for him. Some believe that Christian may never make a return as a wrestler in WWE at this point.
September 10, 2014
WWE decisions are sometimes garbage, according to Batista. During a recent podcast interview with Chris Jericho, the former world heavyweight champion stated that he was disgusted by how the creative department utilized Daniel Bryan after he was put over at Wrestlemania 30. Batista felt that Bryan should have been allowed to sell the injuries from the previous night because it would have added to his lovable underdog character.
August 31, 2014
A lot of fans are under the assumption that the stable consisting of Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston has been disbanded. It's hard to blame them for thinking that because WWE has removed them from television over the last couple of weeks. However, rumors are floating around that the trio has been informed by management that there are still plans in place for them to work as a group in the future. The creative department simply has not figured out a good way of using them.
August 27, 2014
There are those that believe that WWE will be having Ric Flair managing Dolph Ziggler after all. Their interaction on Monday Night Raw might have been the seeds planted by the creative department. Apparently, Ziggler is not in the dog house with management any more. There's even talks that he might be elevated up the card into a feud with Randy Orton soon.
August 21, 2014
When Brock Lesnar interrupted the birthday celebration for Hulk Hogan on Monday Night Raw last week, he went off script a bit. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion said, "Party's over, grandpa." That was not a line fed to him by the WWE creative department. Reports are surfacing that Lesnar took that jab on his own or had help from Paul Heyman in coming up with that line.
August 18, 2014
Rumors are floating around that WWE officials have yet to finalize the rules for the flag match between Alexander Rusev and Jack Swagger at Summerslam 2014. The issue right now is that the creative department wants to make both guys look strong in the match. There is also a belief that they want Swagger to get the victory without taking too much heat away from Rusev.
August 16, 2014
Alexander Rusev is posing a considerable problem for the WWE creative department nowadays. The staff was instructed to push him up the ladder, but they are now running out of options. His program with Jack Swagger has either ended or will end soon. Rusev cannot be placed into a program with someone lower on the card, and it's too soon for him to work against John Cena. Sheamus has been named as a possible opponent to help Rusev kill time.
July 27, 2014
Rumors going around right now is that the impersonation gimmick that Damien Sandow has been doing is basically a way for the creative department to appease Vince McMahon, who has been known to find humor in stuff like this. To his credit, Sandow has embraced the role, in hopes that it will convince WWE to finally give him the push that he deserves.
July 7, 2014
Rumors leaked recently about Vince McMahon not being a big fan of Paige, which would explain why the creative department has not given her much to work with since she captured the WWE Divas Championship. That riled up her mother, who happens to be a professional wrestler in England. She replied on social media by denying the rumors and mocking wrestling sites for their accuracy. However, she later deleted the messages, perhaps realizing that she was adding fuel to the fire and hurting her daughter by addressing the rumors.
June 17, 2014
It looks like the Bo Dallas push in WWE could be coming to an end soon. While he still has some supporters in the creative department, especially those who are amused by the gimmick, it is being said that Vince McMahon himself is not a fan. Rumors have it that McMahon was the one that quickly pulled the plug on his first stint on the main roster, so it would not come as a surprise if he decided to halt the push soon.
June 12, 2014
While a lot of fans are high on the newcomer, Vince McMahon is said to not be a fan of Paige, even though she currently wears his WWE Divas Championship. Rumors have it that she has not been given much of a story line to work with because McMahon is not backing her. It is probably the reason why the creative department has done little character development for her.
June 12, 2014
With Daniel Bryan injured, things are a bit hectic backstage in WWE, as he was the centerpiece story line. The situation backstage is made even worse by the fact that the company has seen its stock plummet. It has now gotten to the point where Vince McMahon himself is taking over more control of the creative department than usual. He has been making decisions on how to work around the Bryan injury.
June 8, 2014
In what appears to the creative department amusing themselves and Vince McMahon, Xavier Woods will be changing up his gimmick for the next episode of Smackdown. He will be donning the red, white and blue ring gear, similar to what he wore in TNA as Consequences Creed, when he faces Alexander Rusev. WWE is doing a Russia vs United States theme.

Over the last decade, it has been repeatedly stated that the creative department likes to do segments that amuse Vince McMahon, and it appears that they have done that once again by pairing Hornswoggle and El Torito together in a WeeLC match at Extreme Rules 2014, where the performers will most likely work with small ladders, tables and chairs.
April 29, 2014
Rumors are still going around that Vince Russo is involved with TNA, even though a lot of people within the company have denied that being the case. There are new reports that Russo actually is under a consultant contract that expires in a few months. The belief is that he is helping TNA with the story lines, even though he is not officially a part of the creative department.

While she has been working backstage in a variety of roles over the past year, Christy Hemme has now been officially added to the creative department in TNA. The belief is that she will be specializing in the Knockouts division, where it will be her job to come up with stories for the girls. She might also have a hand in the ongoing story with Sam Shaw as well.
April 10, 2014
While the legendary Nature Boy is expected to be at the event, Ric Flair is not expected to be utilized on camera at Wrestlemania 30. WWE still has plans on making him into a manager for at least one of the performers, but the creative department has been much too busy over the last couple of months to come up with a story line for that.
April 4, 2014
With Angelina Love making her return to TNA after several years away from the company, that has sparked the itch in another former Knockout. Taylor Wilde, who was a former champion in the company, wants to return to TNA. No word yet on whether or not Dixie Carter is interested in a reunion, as the company has been rather busy signing performers as of late.
May 6, 2014
When she walked away from professional wrestling a couple of years ago, the belief was that Taylor Wilde was open to a possible return some day. When asked about it recently on Twitter, Taylor confirmed just that, as she stated that she would be willing to return to TNA if the contract was favorable. The former Knockouts champion has been training to be a firefighter as of late.
March 14, 2014
Over the weekend, Taylor Wilde got a chance to hang out with former NBA and WCW star Dennis Rodman at a wrestling convention in New York City. The former TNA Knockout posted this picture of the two of them together on her Twitter account.

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
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.
April 2, 2014
Prior to making a name for himself in ECW, Balls Mahoney had a very brief stint in WWE as a character named Xanta Klaus, who was supposed to be the younger brother of Santa Clause that lived in the South Pole and stole Christmas presents. He was introduced by Ted DiBiase at an In Your House event in 1995 as a foil for Savio Vega.

At C2E2 today DC announced Cassandra Cain will be featured in the mini-series Gates of Gotham, appearing in the first issue. This is apparently the project that prevented her from appearing in the Birds of Prey.
The mini, written by current 'Tec writer Scott Snyder and Kyle Higgins, is solicited as:
When a mystery as old as Gotham City itself surfaces, Batman assembles a team of his greatest detectives – including Red Robin, Owlman, I-Ching and others – to investigate this startling new enigma. As clues are discovered and the mystery deepens, Batman's team soon finds itself on a journey that explores different eras in Gotham's history and touches upon notable Gotham families including the Waynes, Kanes, and Elliotts.
This miniseries spins out of recent events in the Batman titles and sets the stage for several exciting storylines in 2011. Additionally, this limited series touches upon mysterious story elements introduced in Grant Morrison's RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE. Featuring many exciting Batman Family guest stars!
Sharped-eyed readers had already noted that Cass Cain, in her costume, was featured on the cover of the series second issue. (Clockwise as 10 o'clock below). Does the this "set the state for an exciting storyline" for Cass Cain? When interviewed by Newsarama in February Snyder said:
The big players in the book will be Dick and Tim. And there's a third character we'll use from the Bat family that we'll probably keep as a surprise. It's someone both Kyle and I have a great affection for, and it's someone I don't think we see enough of.
/Read that as 'cassandra claire' /moment of shock and/or panic Or am I the only one old enough to remember her?
I think I speak for all of us on Tumblr when I say DLFKSNDDSKLFNKEWS
About flipping time!
YAY! Cass is back! SQUEE! ^_^
hopes still not up.

DISH, Sprint, and the Game of Three
Dana is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Here is what you have to know about the DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH) bid for Sprint (NYSE: S).
This is a game of three thing.
Right now AT&T and Verizon Wireless enjoy a virtual duopoly in mobile telephony. Not only do they control 70% of the market between them, but they've got the profitable end of the business lined up. Most of their subscribers are on two- or three-year contracts.
But if these two companies have 70% of the market, that means there is room for one more. The release of the Competitive Carriers Association report above began an ongoing scramble to become that third strong competitor. It is assumed that there is no room for a fourth.
Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile unit actually started it off, trying to get bought by AT&T. It was the government's refusal to approve that deal that really set things in motion. Suddenly T-Mobile was buying Metro PCS in hopes of scaling up a competitive customer base and Masayoshi Son, who had already muscled into Japan's duopoly with Softbank, saw his chance and made his own bid for Sprint, which brought in Clearwire, since Sprint owned a dominant stake in that smaller carrier.
Son's Choice
This left other spectrum owners on the outside looking in. DISH Network has spectrum, and ambitions, but the train was leaving the station, thus their new bid.
That bid, $25.6 billion, would leave it drained of cash, drowning in debt, but holding the prize. Investors are wise to bid DISH down, way down, on this news because it's more than a stretch to think they can both take all this spectrum, build it out, and market it effectively against the AT&T-Verizon juggernaut.
Son now has a choice. He can raise his own $20 billion bid for Sprint, in order to take the prize away from DISH. He can negotiate with DISH on a new arrangement that would essentially make this a four-way merger – Clearwire, DISH, Sprint and Softbank. Or he can wait for DISH to waste itself on the rocks of this acquisition, which could mean taking DISH out a few years from now at a much lower price.
The reason I say that is because there is no real game of three. Right now there are two competitors, and while it's assumed there is room for three, there may not be. Not unless you have the marketing muscle to take share. DISH doesn't.
Game of Four?
Of course, there is another way this could work out, which is the way T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom is betting on. That is, two major competitors and two minor ones -- AT&T and Verizon holding two-thirds of the market, and the other two holding one-third.
That's the way it works in Germany, Deutsche Telekom's home market. It's a comfortable arrangement that leaves everyone with profits.
But that still leaves Son and DISH fighting for a single seat at the table. The best thing for both is to get together in some way, and that's what I expect will happen. Your best bet in that case may be to short DISH and cover once that arrangement is announced. Just remember that the big profits in this case will only go to the big players. I'd rather hold my fire until after the smoke clears.

Best garage finds ever
Rare and expensive vehicles and the stories behind their discovery.

Seven people are NOT going to fit in most of the cars on the list, possibly 6 some, most just 5. When you start talking about 7 people and leave off the Suburban / Yukon XL twins, I know you aren't serious. I have spent days looking at nearly every one of these cars and this list is trash. For example the Mazda CX-9 is NOT a 7 passenger car. It is 5 at max. I tried to get in the 3rd row and realized it was for groceries only, since the truck was a joke. Lastly, to say the Tribeca is 7 passenger lets me know the writer hasn't tried these cars in person, with 7 people.
Oct 6, 2013 9:52PM
That is a list of every minivan and midsize crossover vehicle made. If you really have to seat 7 full size humans, you need either a minivan or a full size SUV (Suburban, Expedition, Excursion, Tahoe etc). A crossover is just not going to work if those 7 people need to travel more than a few blocks.

I've always wondered, as a motorist, just exactly how I'm supposed to respond or change the rules of the road when I see a "Baby on Board" sticker on a mini-van. Can anybody shed some light on this? How about "Passenger on Board" or "Old Person on Board" or "Eggs on Board" or ????? Seems like kinda a non-issue to me.

Out of all the cars listed I know two will fit a family of 5 comfortably with a large family dog. The Quest and the Flex. Both cars were comfortable for my brothers family with three people well over 6 feet and two over 5'8". The Explorer fits everyone but the back is a little cramp but the family loves their Explorer, dogs favorite car. The Quest was comfortable they had problems with interior build quality, (2004 model) though they drove it for over 200,000 miles. Now they have a Flex love the bells and whistles comfortable and well built. My brother who has a notoriously bad back liked the Quest and Flex's seat support and the fact that they were heated didn't hurt. I know the people across the street from me had to trade in their Caravan for an Expedition so they could fit 4 or 5 car/booster seats and their large dog. Both families looked at several of these models and they just didn't have the interior space needed.

|FFA Corner: Swiss Hills Career Center 11/15/12
|Written by Morgan Thompson
|Wednesday, November 14, 2012 1:47 PM
At the beginning of this 2012-13 school year we conducted our first informal meeting to elect our FFA officers. Our president this year, symbolized by the rising sun, was chosen to be Jeff Martin, a senior member. Next our vice president, symbolized by the plow, is Benny Van Meter, also a senior member. Represented by the ear of corn, the secretary is Morgan Thomp-son, a junior member. Aaron Love, a junior member, is the sentinel. The sentinel is represented by the shield of friendship and his job is to guard the door at meetings and take the position of any missing officer. And, last but not least, a new position this year, historian. The job of the historian is to keep records and pictures of all meetings, social event, outings, etc. that our FFA chapter is involved in. We would like to congratulate all 2012-13 FFA officers for their commitment to agriculture.

The latest entertainment news reports that JUSTIN BIEBER threw up on stage during his Arizona concert last night.
It looks like Justin Bieber has just gotten a bad case of Bieber Fever because in the middle of one of his songs during the Glendale, Arizona leg of his "Believe" tour, he turned his back on the crowd and puked right in the middle of the stage!
But because the teenage pop star truly loves his fans, he refused to stop performing even after being forced to leave the stage due to his illness (probably to puke some more)… just like when he insisted to continue his show even after suffering a concussion for running into a glass wall last June.
The Biebs later apologized to the audience for being sick… But we're guessing no one cared, except those in the front row who were probably grossed out by the whole thing.
Watch if you dare:
