Re: WWE Unleash the Fury
Nice opener, and good to see Masters get himself into the MITB match. Would have liked a 1 on 1 match with Carlito to happen though, but if they are both in the MITB match, then the feud can last a bit longer
Maria: A hardcore match on Raw? I like hardcore action!
– what a line from Maria
Cena vs. The Spirit Squad in a hardcore match next week will be good, and nice build up to the Jericho/Cena match for Mania. Jericho will probably cost Cena the match I would think
Show beats Rosey, so I guess we get the Kane/Show vs. 3MW match at Mania. Wont be a great match, but at least the tag titles will be defended
Good promo with Masters and Carlito, and their feud will surely start in earnest soon. Cant wait to see it, as it has been built up brilliantly
Nice Mania commercial, although not the best one I have seen so far.
The women's match was done well, and it looks as if Mickie is turning heel, if not this week then next week. Nice beatdown on Ashley, which is probably the trigger for the feud to start
HHH/HBK gets a bit more build up, which is good to see. HBK's promo wasn't his strongest, but HBK as a face is hard to get right. I see something going down at SNME with Austin, but I don't quite know what it will be yet
Cena is back to his best, with the rap on the spirit squad, which was brilliant. That is what Cena should be doing more of in real life, as that is why people liked him in the first place. Good rap, and hope to see more of them
Shelton beats Helms, which had to be expected, and he will have a great time in the MITB ladder match
Carlito makes his way to Mania as well, by beating Flair. Nice line up for MITB 2 so far, and I'm sure that Flair will get on the mania card someway
Solid RVD promo, but something is still missing about this feud
RVD gets the win over Daivari as expected, which pushes the feud along well, but it still feels like a midcard feud, not the main event of Wrestlemania. It could well be the MOTN, but not at all keen on the build up so far, simply as there hasn't been a lotof it

World Tour Still In Works
WWE Management has been talking about having a World Tour later this year where they would tour countries before heading back to the states and having a ppv. Other ideas have been to just have a small pay per view end up in a country such as Puerto Rico similar to when WWE held a pay per view in Puerto Rico in 2005. Even though nothing is confirmed, ideas are still being talked about if it goes through

Friday Night Smackdown Preview for Friday March 3, 2006
A huge night awaits everybody and so many answers to be revealed on this week's episode of Friday Night Smackdown! In last week's main event, Edge and JBL took on Christian but at the end, Edge attacked his own brother Christian with a chair and taking him out and also giving Christian the DQ win in the match. This week Edge has told WWE.com that he will be bringing back his talk show "The Cutting Edge" and his guest...."Captain Charisma" Christian will talk to Edge about the attack last week!
In a shocking move last week on Smackdown!, the former World-Heavyweight Champion, Batista, called out "The Deadman" The Undertaker and challenged him to a match at WrestleMania. Undertaker accepted and now perhaps the biggest challenge of Undertaker's career will take place when The Deadman meets The Animal at WrestleMania 22! Will Undertaker get into Batista's mind four weeks before WrestleMania?
Shortly after Randy Orton defeated Hardcore Holly, Orton made a shocking announcement to all of the fans. Orton said that this week he would be calling out a legend to face at WrestleMania 22 for his opponent. Orton tricked the fans because they thought it would be right there but it turns out Orton said it would be the next week. Will we find out who Orton has challenged to a match at WrestleMania and what legend will it be?
The situation between Rey Mysterio, Booker T, and Chris Benoit continues to rise to a newer level each week. Ever since early January, these three men have been going at it and it certainly wasn't any different last week when Booker T cheated to beat Chris Benoit. It was announced that Booker T would then face Mysterio in a No Way Out rematch for the United States Championship tonight! Can Mysterio retain his title or will the 5-time WCW Champion become the new US Champion?
Last week, the "Wrestling God" declared on Smackdown! that the Money in the Bank Ladder Match would include three Raw superstars and three Smackdown superstars. It was made official this past week on Raw whenever Carlito, Shelton Benjamin, and the Intercontinental Champion, Chris Masters all qualified for Raw for the match. However this week, Smackdown will have their three superstars qualify and who will those three be?
During the Cruiserweight Battle Royal last week, the UKliq all ran down and attacked the Mexicools eliminating all three of them and taking them out of the title shot for this week. Finlay then told Theodore Long that they wanted the Mexicools in a No Way Out rematch, all three of them! Long granted his wish and now the match is on! Can Finlay, Regal, and Burchill take out the Mexicools or will Juvy, Psicosis, and Super Crazy win once more?
And finally, speaking of the Cruiserweight Battle Royal, the Cruiserweight Champion, Jamie Noble defends his title against the Battle Royal winner, Shannon Moore on Smackdown! Kid Kash, Noble's former friend and bitter enemy, was eliminated early on in what was considered a sudden twist but Kash told Noble if he can't take the title, then Noble can't keep it! Will Kash be interfering in this match?

Friday Night Smackdown
Friday March 03, 2006
Seattle, Washington
*Rise Up by Drowning Pool hits and we see a video of the Smackdown superstars play before we cut to the arena to Michael Cole and Tazz at ringside*
Michael Cole: Another huge night awaits us on Smackdown and Im Michael Cole and he is my partner, Tazz!
Tazz: Weve got some huge matches tonight and Ive been waiting all week to see what indeed will happen with these huge matches!
Michael Cole: First off, lets look at the card and weve got three Money in the Bank Qualifying Matches plus The Mexicools vs Ukliq!
Tazz: Two championships will also be defended as Jamie Noble defends the Cruiserweight title against Shannon Moore and our main event, Rey Mysterio defends the United States Championship against Booker T!
*Metalingus rings throughout the arena and the current World-Heavyweight Champion, Edge, makes his way down to the ring for his talk show, the Cutting Edge! Edge then throws his title into the ring and slides in doing his pose on the mat before he walks over to the chair and grabs a microphone off of it*
Edge: Last week in the main event, yeah you heard me right! Edge in the main event and doesnt it just sound cool having Edge and main event together? Anyways I gave my brother, Christian, a chair shot to the head and it has been going around backstage that he received a concussion and needed many stitches
*Crowd Boos*
Edge: So tonight Im going to be asking my brother, yeah you heard me right, Im going to ask him in this very ring if he is sure he wants to face me at WrestleMania. Christian, you better be thinking smart because if you decide to face me, then I guess I will just have to bash you over the head and give you another concussion!
*Crowd Boos*
Edge: No hard love! We are brothers after all and it is going to have to remain that way for the rest of our lives! And I certainly dont mind giving my brother another concussion if that is what he wants in return for facing me for my World-Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, then I will return the favor in my own personal way
*Edge Sucks Chants Break Out*
Edge: Believe me, the last thing I do is suck! I reek of awesomeness and you all know it because Im the Rated R Superstar! Former Intercontinental Champion, former World Tag Team Champion, former WWE Tag Team Champion, King of the Ring but most importantly and you see it in my hands .
*Crowd Boos*
Edge: World-Heavyweight Champion!!!
*We Want Christian Chants Break Out*
Edge: You want Christian huh? Well you are going to get Christian because I wanted him the whole time out here! So everybody welcome to the Cutting Edge .Christian!!!
*Just Close Your Eyes hits and Christian comes out in blue jeans and a dress shirt not wearing his normal attire. We see his head bandaged up on the top from where he received the blow to the head. Captain Charisma then slides into the ring and receives a microphone from Edge before Edge starts to talk back up again*
Edge: So Christian, hows your head feeling?
*Edge starts to laugh and Christian looks pissed*
Christian: Oh my head Edge? You find it real funny that you gave me a concussion last week dont you? You find it funny that Im missing a few brain cells now because of you and I could be as dumb as Mick Foley! You like that dont you Edge? Well you know what I like, I like that World-Heavyweight Championship around your shoulder
*Crowd Pops*
Edge: What are you talking about?
Christian: That World-Heavyweight Championship looks just about my size and all Ive got to do is get your name, the Overrated Superstar off of it and put my name Captain Charisma on the title and bam! Its ready to come over to me come WrestleMania because mark my words Edge, you stand no chance at WrestleMania!
*Crowd Pops*
Edge: Oh is that so Captain Charisma ? Well Ill tell you something that will make you wake up and realize this is reality! You are a nothing Christian! I carried the tag team, I was the one jumping off ladders spearing peoples asses and what did you do? You just hung around for the ride and got awarded with all of those title shots because of me! Yeah you heard me right, I said it was because of me!
*Crowd Boos*
Christian: Edge all Ive got to say to you is that at WrestleMania, that World-Heavyweight Championship youve got, its coming home with a real man because when I win the World-Heavyweight Championship, the peeps will be on the streets rejoicing because Thats How I Roll!
*Crowd Pops*
Edge: The only thing you are going to be rolling is your ass straight out of this arena right about, hmmm..NOW!
*Edge punches Christian in the face and now its on! Both brothers retaliate trading lefts and rights before Edge then goes to spear Christian but Christian jumps on top of Edge and then keeps on punching Edge. Security then charges down to the ring and then pulls Edge off of Christian and Christian gets escorted to the back. Edge is mouthing something to Christian and Christian tries to jump out of the hold of security but he cant and then we fade off to commercial with Edge standing in the ring smiling*
Match #1
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
JBL vs Bobby Lashley
Match Finish: A hard hitting rematch from No Way Out where both men give it their all to have a chance to be in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match come WrestleMania 22. Ending takes place whenever Lashley spears JBL down onto the mat and starts taunting. Lashley then goes to pick JBL up for the Dominator but JBL reverses it and falls back onto his feet. The Wrestling God then runs off the ropes and Lashley turns around right into a Clothesline from Hell from JBL who tosses Lashley over and makes a cover, One Two .Three
Winner: JBL
*We then cut over to ringside to Michael Cole and Tazz*
Michael Cole: JBL has found himself heading into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania 22 and he could be a favorite to win
Tazz: He has never been in a ladder match before but it fits his style because he is a very brutal man and certainly will take advantage of the environment
Michael Cole: Im sure the self proclaimed Wrestling God will try to find a way to stay alive in that match and look to take the title shot
Tazz: Hes going to have to overcome Smackdowns two other superstars plus Raws Carlito, Chris Masters, and Shelton Benjamin which will be no easy task!
*We then cut backstage to see Josh Matthews standing by with Booker T*
Josh Matthews: Booker later tonight, you will be taking on the United States Champion Rey Mysterio for the title
Booker T: Thats right Josh and sucka, listen up because tonight Booker T is going to become a three time United States Champion
Josh Matthews: Booker for months you have been at the throats of Rey Mysterio and Chris Benoit over the United States title, why are you doing this?
Booker T: When Rey Mysterio took MY title, he basically took away a part of me and that is not going to be acceptable. Then that sucka Chris Benoit comes along trying to defend his little friend Rey Mysterio! Benoit, Im past you, Ive beaten you too many times to count and last week was one example!
Josh Matthews: One more thing Booker, what is going to happen if you dont win the United States championship here tonight?
Booker T: If I dont win? Well theres no doubt that the Five Time ..Five Time ..Five Time .Five Time ..Five Time! WCW Champion will win! Mysterio stands no chance tonight, so now Can You Dig That Sucka!!!!
*Booker T walks off down through the hallway and then we head to commercial*
*We head backstage to see the WWE Tag Team Champions, MNM and their manager Melina in the office of Theodore Long*
Joey Mercury: Hey Teddy for months now weve been having to put up with those two hooligans London and Kendrick and we want to move onto better things. I mean we havent been able to attend any parties in the past few months because of those two
Theodore Long: So what are you saying playa?
Johnny Nitro: What were saying is we want to get rid of this problem right now, here tonight, on Smackdown and end the careers of Brian Kendrick and Paul London. That way they can never win the titles from us!
Theodore Long: Well playas I got a solution for you! Next weeks Smackdown! Were going to have MNM taking on the team of .Brian Kendrick and Paul London! This is not going to be an ordinary match, no this is going to be a 2 of 3 Falls Match!
Joey Mercury: What?
Theodore Long: You heard me right playas! A 2 of 3 Falls Match next week here on Smackdown and oh yeah I forgot something.
Johnny Nitro: What now?
Theodore Long: The WWE Tag Team Championships will be on the line and playas you better be ready because youve got the biggest match of your life next week!
Melina: Teddy I know youre not going to do this to my boys! Both Mercury and Nitro have a photoshoot next week and if you put them in the ring with London and Kendrick, there is no telling what they will do to them! You need to change this right now or Im going to have to talk to somebody and get you fired
Theodore Long: Go ahead and try to get me fired Melina and if you dont leave Ill fire all three of you right here! So get to steppin playas!
*W e then head back to ringside to Michael Cole and Tazz*
Michael Cole: Did you hear that Tazz? A 2 out of 3 Falls Match next week for the WWE Tag Team Championships, I cant wait!
Tazz: MNM certainly got theirselves into some trouble tonight and now next week theyve got to try to get past London and Kendrick, again!
Michael Cole: Both of those teams have put on some classic matches in the past few months and next weeks certainly wont be shorter than that
Tazz: Hey weve got two title matches tonight and as a matter of fact, one of them is coming up right now because weve got the Cruiserweight title on the line
Match #2
*Cruiserweight Championship
Jamie Noble © vs Shannon Moore
Match Finish: Decent match but not the best Cruiserweight match on Smackdown ever but both men do put on a classic match. Ending takes place whenever Noble catches Moore whos going for a Moonsault but then plants him down onto the mat with a powerslam. Noble then picks up Moore and looks to go for the Tiger Bomb and he nails it, One Two Thre .only to be broken up by Kid Kash and Kash goes on the attack of Noble with the referee ringing the bell to tell the announcer that Noble has won by DQ
Winner via DQ and STILL Cruiserweight Champion: Jamie Noble
*Kash continues on the attack of Noble before he then picks Noble up and drops him down with a Dead Level. Kid Kash then taunts Noble before he climbs over onto the top rope and leaps off the top rope nailing the Money Maker and Kash slides to the outside of the ring. He then pulls the Cruiserweight Championship away from the announcer and then slides into the ring raising the title above his head telling everybody he will become the new champion! Kash then drops the title onto Noble and then exits the arena as we head to another commercial*
*Burn in my Light hits and the Legend Killer Randy Orton comes out to the arena in his wrestling gear however though he is here to make the announcement of who he will be facing at WrestleMania 22 in less than five weeks. Orton then climbs onto the top turnbuckle and taunts the crowd before he then receives a microphone from Tony Chimmel and the music dies down before we hear Orton start to speak up*
Randy Orton: Last week I came down to this ring, fresh off of my victory over Chris Benoit at No Way Out and I promised I would announce what legend I was going to challenge to a match at WrestleMania 22. Well things changed and thats why tonight Im here and Im going to challenge a legend right now
*Crowd Pops*
Randy Orton: People have been wondering all week what legend I was going to challenge, was it going to be Randy Savage?
*Crowd Pops*
Randy Orton: Rowdy Roddy Piper
*Crowd Pops*
Randy Orton: Bret Hart?
*Crowd Pops*
Randy Orton: Hulk Hogan?
*Crowd Pops*
Randy Orton: Hell, the list can go on and on and on! But Im here to announce the real legend that Im not only going to face but also beat at WrestleMania 22 this year and my name will be ever sollidifed into the great names of the WWE but why wait, lets take a look at this video of who my opponent is going to be!
*We then cut out to the titantron to see a blank screen before RKO and Legend Killer Productions cuts across and then we head out to somebodys home but Orton is on the sidewalk before he bumps into somebody*
Randy Orton: Well, well, well! Ive finally found the place! Hey can you tell me where **** (a truck passes by and we dont hear the persons name)
Man: Yeah sure, its right down the road. Cant miss it, its a big white house
Randy Orton: Yeah thanks! Now lets go see if we can find this legends house because Ive got some major work to do before I beat his ass down at WrestleMania! Hey this must be it!
*Orton walks up the driveway and then pulls out a piece of paper, he double checks it before he knocks on the door and a lady comes to the door*
Randy Orton: Is this the home of (we hear kids screaming so the name gets cut off) ?
Lady: Yes it is, may I ask who you are?
Randy Orton: Randy Orton, third generation superstar, but hey you can always just call me The Legend Killer
Lady: Ok! Hey baby, you mind coming down?
Randy Orton: Ah dont worry about it, just tell him I dropped by to give him this piece of paper and tell him I want to see him this Friday on Smackdown? Got it?
Lady: Ok!
*We then cut out back into the arena where the crowd is booing because they were tricked out of it thinking they were going to find out who Orton was facing! Orton continues to laugh and then grabs his mic again before starting to talk*
Randy Orton: Wasnt that an amazing movie? Of course it was because it is a production of RKO and Legend Killers Inc! So the big question know is, whos house was that? Well it doesnt matter because quite frankly I dont even know if that was the right house but anyways let me go ahead and introduce you to my real WrestleMania opponent ..
*Orton gets cut off and all of a sudden IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! What the Rock! Is Cooking! Hits and The Great One himself walks out onto the stage to an unbelieveable pop from the crowd before he continues on down the ramp shaking hands with the fans and Orton is shocked because he didnt think the Rock would be coming out here. Orton is stuttering trying to tell The Rock to get out but The Rock pulls the mic from Ortons hand.*
The Rock: Finally the Rock has come back to the WWE!!!
*Crowd Pops*
The Rock: Yeah the Rock got your little letter challenging me to a match at WrestleMania, saying you can kick my ass! Well Randy Orton, you are the biggest piece of shit walking on Gods Green Earth!
*Crowd Pops*
Randy Orton: No listen Roc
The Rock: Shut Your Mouth!
*Crowd Pops*
The Rock: The Rock is here for one reason and one reason only and that is to come off of my break from Hollywood, step back into the WWE ring, head onto WrestleMania 22, whip your candy ass all over the US, and then head to Just Bring It Lane, take a right on Know Your role Boulevard, then arrive at the US Airways Center where I will Layeth the Smacketh down on your candy ass
*Crowd Pops*
Randy Orton: You know what I think about yo
The Rock: It Doesnt Matter What You Think!!!
*Crowd Pops*
The Rock: The Rock accepts your challenge at WrestleMania and when Im done with your little candyass, you will never .ever challenge any legend to a match because your candyass will be beaten down by The Rock and you will never ever come back to the WWE!
*Crowd Pops*
The Rock: Now..If Ya Sammmmmmelllllllllll!!!! What The Rock!!!! Is Cookin!!!!
*If Ya Smell hits again and The Rock then makes his way out of the arena to loud cheers from the crowd and Orton is still in disbelief and doesnt know what to think now because hes got five weeks to prepare to face The Great One The Rock at WrestleMania 22*
Michael Cole: Oh my God! We have just witnessed The Rock making his return to the WWE and he certainly doesnt seem happy
Tazz: Another Inter-Promotional match added to the card for WrestleMania and this certainly will be Ortons biggest legend to attempt to kill
Michael Cole: Randy Orton got way over in his head and he deserves this because he doesnt have a way from escaping now
Tazz: Orton should have never even taped that video that he did and now, he is pretty much screwed as far as WrestleMania is concerned
Match #3
The Mexicools vs Ukliq
Match Finish: Another No Way Out rematch and this is another fast paced, high flying match between both of the teams. Towards the end, Regal distracts the referee and this allows Finlay to pull out his shillelagh and he then charges at Psicosis and bounces it off of the head of him. Juventud then comes in and gets layed out with the shillelagh and Super Crazy is getting beaten down by Burchill. Burchill then grabs Super Crazy and leaps into the air nailing the C-4 before Burchill tosses Super Crazy over and makers the cover, One Two Three
Winners: Ukliq
*We then cut over to the back to see Batista walking around the back before he comes into the lockerroom of the Undertaker*
Batista: Hey, Undertaker you in there?
*Batista continues knocking before he doesnt hear anything, he decides to ask one more time before trying to enter the room*
Batista: Taker?
*He then slowly opens the door and realizes nobody is in there and the lights are on. Batista then walks on in and then looks around in the room. The door is left wide open and it stays there. Batista then looks around trying to see if he can find Undertaker*
Batista: Taker, where are you at? Ive been looking all week for you and I havent been able to find you since last week!
*Batista continues to look around and then sees an urn over in the corner of the lockerroom. Batista walks over and grabs the urn but all of a sudden, the door swings shut! The lights go out and we hear Batista start to panic*
Batista: Oh my god! What is going on in here?
*We then hear a faint laugh and then the lights are still off but we continue to hear the laugh. The camera focuses in on Batista in the corner starting to freak out and we hear Undertakers voice appear all of a sudden*
Undertaker: Batista! Five Weeks! Five Weeks until you Rest In Peace!!!
Batista: No! Im not going to lose to you at WrestleMania! I dont care what your record is, Ill end it just like that and when you come next week to Smackdown, meet me in the ring!
*We then fade out and head back into the arena to Michael Cole and Tazz*
Michael Cole: I dont know what in the hell that was about but Undertaker sent an eerie message to Batista, his opponent at WrestleMania!
Tazz: Whatever the hell that was, it took a whole lot to scare somebody like Batista and I think Undertaker is the only person who can scare him
Michael Cole: I dont know but I cant wait because WrestleMania is coming up soon and it is less than five weeks away!
Tazz: Smackdown is going to tear the house down with Edge/Christian, Batista/Undertaker plus Orton/The Rock, and the Money in the Bank!
We come back from the break and we open to a blank screen before the 2006 Hall of Fame logo comes across the screen and it stays there for a moment. We then head out as we hear a voice start to talk to announce the next inductee
Narrator: The Macho Man .
*Images of Randy Savage winning the Intercontinental title from Tito Santana in 1986*
Narrator: A Intercontinental Champion and WWF Champion .
*Images of Savage retaining his title plus images of his match against Ricky The Dragon Steamboat from WrestleMania 3 are shown*

* We see the 2006 Hall of Fame logo come across the screen followed by in letters Randy Savage and we then listen to the narrator one more time*
Narrator: The Macho Man Randy Savage!!!
*We then cut over to ringside to Michael Cole and Tazz*
Michael Cole: The night before WrestleMania we will be honoring all of the legends from the past at the Hall of Fame ceremonies
Tazz: Big class set so far with Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero, Brets brother, Owen Hart and now the Macho Man Randy Savage!
Michael Cole: I cant wait but still to come tonight, weve got two Money in the Bank Qualifying Matches and what a main event!
Tazz: You got that right, Rey Mysterio defends the United States Championship against the Bookman, Booker T!
Match #4
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Matt Hardy vs Simon Dean
Match Finish: Simon Dean gets accompanied down to the ring by his debuting tag team from last week, the Gymini also known as Jake Gymini and Jesse Gymini. More of a squash match between the two and Hardy dominates most of it. Towards the end, both of the Gymini try to cost Hardy the match but he nails a Crossbody to the outside taking both of the Gymini out and then slides back into the ring. Dean walks right into the Side Effect and then Hardy climbs onto the top turnbuckle and comes off the ropes and nails the Leg Drop! Hardy rolls over and makes the cover on Dean, One Two Three
Winner: Matt Hardy
Michael Cole: And were back from the break and before the break, Matt Hardy joined JBL as the men who qualified for the Money in the Bank Match
Tazz: Hardys going to excel real well in that match because he is a veteran of ladder matches and that has been proven in the past
Michael Cole: Well weve got one more and Im interested to see who is going to be joining both Hardy and JBL in that match!
Tazz: I can tell you one thing, whoever it is certainly is going to have to step their game up because if not, they will have a hard time!
*We then cut backstage to see Chris Benoit standing by with Josh Matthews*
Josh Matthews: Chris in a few moments, you will be taking on Ken Kennedy for a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, how are you feeling?
Chris Benoit: Josh come on, its a obvious one because Im ready to go out there and prove to all the fans that I deserve to be back in the main event and that I am for real!
Josh Matthews: Chris, youve been having problems with Booker T and Rey Mysterio in the past few months, where does it go from here?
Chris Benoit: After I win the Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania, then the business between Booker T will end but as far as Rey Mysterio goes, his United States Championship will be around my waist soon too!
Josh Matthews: Anything else you want to say Benoit?
Chris Benoit: Kennedy, you get ready because Ive been ticked off for the past few months and tonight, youre going to tap out!
*We see the WrestleMania 22 logo flash across the screen and then we hear a voice speak*
Narrator: The following paid advertisement is to promote the upcoming World Wrestling Entertainment pay per view, WrestleMania 22. It will be live from Phoenix, Arizona in the US Airways Center on Sunday April 2, 2006
*We then head out to Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks before we then cut to the scoreboard which shows the Diamondbacks losing 10-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning before we cut over and see the WWE Tag Team Champions, MNM!*
Melina: So guys what have you thought about the game so far? I think that the Diamondbacks are the worst team ever
Joey Mercury: Thats only because Nitro and myself, were the best team ever and us by ourselves could beat a team such as the Diamondbacks
Johnny Nitro: Any time, any day, tell them to bring it!
*We t hen cut over and see a lady stand up and start screaming*
Lady: OH MY GOD! Its MNM!
*Everybody turns and all of the ladies run at Mercury and Nitro while all of the men in that section run after Melina*
Melina: Run boys! Run!
*We then see all three members of MNM leave from their seats behind the plate and start running up the top and they are continually getting photos taken of them. However Nitro stops for a pose and Melina pulls him making him keep on running. They continue running before Nitro runs into the team shop and looks for a teddy bear for the Diamondbacks. However Melina tugs on him as they continue to get chased out of the ballpark. They make it outside and pause for a moment to look around where to go to*
Joey Mercury: Where are we suppose to go?
Melina: Look! There!
*The camera then turns up and we see the US Airways Center across from Chase Field and we then see all three members of MNM continue running down the road and Nitro almost gets ran over by a car while Melina is getting honked at by men in cars. Melina then opens a door quickly and all three of them jump inside of the arena*
Melina: We should be safe in here
Joey Mercury: I hope so! We didnt even get to finish the game and we went that long without even being noticed
Johnny Nitro: Yeah but I was having some fun getting pictures taken of me and I wanted a souvenir too!
Melina: Well go back later as for now, weve got to worry about staying safe in here so we dont get harassed by those crazy lunatics
Johnny Nitro: Uh guys!

However Benoit pulls Kennedy down and then nails the three German Suplexes before climbing over onto the top rope. Benoit leaps off the top rope and nails the Diving Headbutt and then looks to end it with the Crippler Crossface but all of a sudden Can You Dig It Sucka!!!

Re: WWE Unleash the Fury
Whoa. Orton vs Rock!!!! Huge WM match. Loving that. Gonna just give a few quick comments for now.
London and Kendrick challenging for the tag titles again in 2/3 Falls is pretty sweet, although I'd loved to have seen that one go into WM instead. I guess it'll still wind up as Kendrick & London vs MNM at the PPV.
Hardy, Kennedy and JBL make up an interesting trio for the MITB Ladder Match at WM with the three guys from Raw too. I can it being quite the showstealer.
UK Kliq = In need of WM match, especially Finlay
Liking the continuing set up for the Booker - Mysterio - Benoit triangle, which I suspect will also wind up as a great match for WM.
Looks like the Cruiserweight title is set to get a bit of spotlight too at WM, possibly in some kind of multi man match by the looks of things atm.
Not sure what to think of the Batista - Taker angle, as on paper it sounds great, but from the Batista segment on the show, it all seemed a little goofy. I guess thats a hinderance with any Taker angle, as I've realised myself in the past.
Edge - Christian is moving along nicely too, with Christian turning (or possibly full turned??) face. This is a feud that could easily continue past the WM event and into the JD PPV further down the road.
And finally, Orton vs Rock. Classic. Has WM moment written all over it, and I cant wait to see how you develop it in the remaining weeks.
Good all round show, but I suspect with Orton - Rock building on Smackdown, it'll start to outshine Raw now, headed into the PPV.

Re: WWE Unleash the Fury
Nice to see the Edge/Christian feud finally get some build up, as until this segment it was totally lacking in any, which is a problem for a main event match. To be honest I didn't think that this was one of the better segments that you have done, as something about it just didn't seem right. Just wasn't convinced by it for reason, and I still think this feud needs a bit more of a build up towards it
A clean win for JBL is good to see, and him in the MITB ladder match will be good to see, as it means that he does have a chance of being in the main events again, which is were he seems to be heading. Don't know where Lashley goes now though
Okay Booker promo, hyping his match later in the show against Rey, which will continue the build to the mania triple threat
2 out of 3 falls match for the tag titles next week will be great to see, and could be the match were the title change takes place. I think there will be some kind of tag match at Wrestlemania involving all the two tag teams, and that's were the feud will end, but another match next week cant hurt
Kash/Noble also looks to be locked in for Wrestlemania, after the attack in the title match. Good feud this has been, and again, the match at the ppv should be a good blow off match
Nice video with Orton, which would have gained him some more heel heat. Huge shocker though with the return of the Rock to face Orton, and this will be a blockbuster match for mania, although I only see the Rock coming back for this match, as I don't see how he can fit into the roster on a full time basis. Great promo from the Rock here though
UKliq get their win over the Mexicools, which is good to see, but I don't see them fitting on the mania card, even though it would be great to see them there
Batista/Taker promo was a bit weird, although with a promo by Taker there is always that sense that you get from it. Looks like Taker is going to be the heel in this feud which is an interesting development, but could work
Big win for Hardy over Dean, and he is in the MITB match, which makes me happy, being a Hardy fan. Don't see him winning it, but at least he has a chance to do so
Booker screws Benoit out of the MITB qualifier, which pretty much confirms that the triple threat will happen. Good to see Kennedy get into the match, even though I don't really know how he would fair in a ladder match
Rey ends the show with a win over Booker T, which is good to see. Would have liked to have seen Benoit get involved in the match to further the rivalry a bit more, but a nice ending to the show anyway

Re: WWE Unleash the Fury
Smackdown review
A pretty good opening promo to the start the show, nothing too special nut hyped the Christian/Edge match well. Some nice words said between the two and they get into a brawl.
A good win here for JBL advancing to the MITB match, getting a clean win over Lashley which is agood for him. Will be intresting to see what you do with Lashley now till Mania.
Decent promo by Booker T hyping his match with Mysterio which should be good to read.
Noble gets the win here via DQ and i see the two meeting at Mania.
Very good promo and i liked how Orton tricked the crowd in the Video Package gaining him some more heat. Orton v Rock should be huge, i think you will give the victory to Orton as he will need it more than Rock and a win over the Rock would be huge for him.
A nice win for the UKliq beating the Mexicools.
Very weird promo here but that os what you usually get from Taker. Taker v Batista at WM Should be very good.
Huge win for Kennedy beating Benoit thanks to Booker T. It would be nice to see Kennedy get the win at Mania but maybe it is a little too early for Kennedy to get a Main Event push.
Intresting to see you put the US Title match last on the card. Big win here for Mysterio beating his rival and retaining the title.
Overall it was a very good show hyping WM very good. The Wrestlemania card looks great so far.

- JackWackDined on 10/18/2014The food and service is always great. I just wish it were bigger. The tables are tiny and of course they try to get as many people in as possible. Perhaps better on a weeknight when not so busy. Great place I just wish not everybody else knew about it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go for the only the foodLovetodineDined on 10/17/2014If you are a party of two, be prepared to get stuck sitting in one of those row like tables where they cram you in next to other couples. Personally I will not sit at a table like the. First we were offered a table one one end of the 'row' then one in the middle and we finally decided to sit and eat at the bar. It was much better but the bar stools are metal and there is no foot rest on the bar or back to the stool so dining like this made it uncomfortable after the first appetizer. I am smaller framed so it was not an issue of my being too large for the seats. The food was amazing but the atmosphere and seating is below me standards. Don't know if I'd go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food - very noisyNiteowlDined on 10/17/2014Loud music made noise level much worse. A bit over priced. Food good - little salty Would be nice to have bread to start.Special Features:
- Top notchMey2favesDined on 10/16/2014Once inside the small storefront, patrons are treated to the most attentive service and exquisite quality food choices. A must for shared diners, Autre Monde is a relaxed experience. The wine list is extensive and choices made easier by the knowledgable staff. I'm looking forward to returning to explore more of the fabulous chef offerings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another wonderful mealChristmasEveDinerDined on 10/15/2014We have missed going to Autre monde....and this visit made us realize just how much. The food, service, wine and cocktail menus are all out standing. Our server was more than just knowledgeable, he was a food and wine savant. Great job! next time I hope we get to see the whole gang, Christine, John, Beth and Dan! Keep doing what you do, no one does it better!Special Features:
- Aestheic AppealEmoriaDined on 10/14/2014I would recommend for anyone celebrating a special occasion or otherwise desire to treat themselves to a well prepared delectable meal. Everything was wonderful, and the Pumpkin Risotto was outstanding!Special Features:
- MemoDined on 10/14/2014We had cocktail, delicious flatbread and a delightful warm cinnamon desert....conversation was difficult with some very noisy patrons,but Autre Monde is a special place for its creative foods and wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BrunchKazy68Dined on 10/12/2014We had a great brunch this past Sunday. My foodie kids (ages 6, 8, 9) loved everything especially the lamb hash. Service was fantastic as well as the cocktails. We will definitely be heading back for brunch, but we also love Autre Monde for dinner too. Be sure to get the grilled octopus!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Group Dining!SlavetoFoodVIPDined on 10/11/2014We have dined here about a dozen times and found the food to be fresh, inventive, flavorful, but NOT full of attitude! Because of the small plates format, it's more fun to go with a group of at LEAST four, so you can try a greater variety of dishes. We usually order a couple of items we've had before and loved and then several new items. We've only VERY rarely been disappointed. The pumpkin risotto special was fabulous this week, and the fish stew both aromatic and delicious! The service is sometimes uneven, but this time we had a fantastic server who was thoughtful, efficient, and attentive without being intrusive in the least. The wine list is a little obscure for us, but with guidance from staff we were very happy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Definitely Will Go Backchrisv1013Dined on 10/9/2014I had a "first date" dinner here and was very happy with the experience. The food was excellent. We opted for the "chef's choice" because so many things on the menu appealed to us. The service was exceptional. The noise level is a little high but not overbearing - it's a small space.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A lovley eveninglolygag62Dined on 10/9/2014It is a small space,seats about 50. It has a friendly neighborhood vibe. Our waitperson was really great, very helpful with the menu and the wine choice. The mediterranean cuisine is ordered to share among your table, so different and fun. The menu allowed for more adventurous dining if you are up for it but even the more familiar dishes had a new twist. The menu offers a glossary on the back of possibly unfamiliar cooking terms which was very helpful. The presentation of the plates and the food itself were marvelous and came to us "a la minute" meaning when it is ready so you eat at what seems like a more relaxing pace. Everything we ordered was wonderful. Porchetta was a real treat, very rich and good to share. We will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yum !!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/8/2014After a long stressful day, I contemplated canceling my reservations & sitting at home. The second we walked in and were greeted by our waitress, Allison, the stress melted away. Monde has a relaxing ambiance. Our waitress was very knowledgable of the wines & dishes. The others we encountered while dining this evening were friendly & warm as well, the bartender, the host.....The food was absolutely delicious. I can't think of a better dining experience.Special Features:
- Review of BrunchtvbluebunnyDined on 10/5/2014We purchased the Groupon for four for brunch. Reservations easily made on OpenTable. Table for six waiting for us, good location by the windows, it was crazy busy and nosey. Food was excellent except for the Great scrambled eggs with truffle, tasted just like scrambled eggs and the portion was sooo small. Everyone else in our party of six liked what they ordered and portion size was way bigger than Great scrambled eggs. Wait staff was attentive and my only complaint was it was hard to hear the waiter.Special Features:
- it was okkmh78Dined on 10/4/2014made a reservation over a week in advance expecting a table in the beautiful dining room - when we arrived we were seated in a strange covered (chilly!) outdoor area that hadn't been opened yet prior to our arrival. not the ambiance i was hoping for. our server was EXCELLENT - very knowledgable, jovial, and the food was very good. we were told that items come out as they become ready, but we didn't expect or want all of it to come out at once onto our tiny table for two. 5 minutes after we ordered. i was hoping for a more relaxed dining experience. overall, i was a bit disappointed, but i'd be willing to give it a mother chance.Special Features:
- Great Meal at AutremondeBlasDined on 10/4/2014We had the tasting course and it was superb. highlights were the flatbread, trout, steak, pumpkin risotto.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food but loudOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/4/2014Autre Monde always has a fantastic menu. It's an adventure to eat there. We were there on a Saturday night. It was so loud we had to shout at each other which made for a less than great experience. Also, we didn't get all the items ordered and duplicates of others. I believe two people at our table ordered the same thing but since we couldn't hear each other, we didn't know. It would have been nice if the waitress had let us know the item was already ordered.Special Features:
- excellentkidintowDined on 10/2/2014Enjoyed our anniversary here. Excellent food, a touch noisy (but every restaurant is these days), though our waitress was happy to seat us in a corner for privacy. Food was wonderful as well.Special Features:
- ExcellentdesEauxDined on 10/2/2014The fried oyster salad special was outstanding. I would have like a few more greens, but it would not be out of place at a high end restaurant in Chicago. I've been here three times and the dishes are always good and sometimes great. I would also recommend the trout in buerre blanc. The wine list is short for this type of place, but there's some interesting choices and the servers are knowledgeable. My only quibble would be the seating, where two-tops are in the middle of the room. I recommend sitting at the bar if that's the only option. Also, the restaurant is walking distance from Fitzgerald's if you want to fill out an evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Total DisappointmentLuvfreshandlightVIPDined on 10/1/2014After a good recommendation from a trusted friend, the dinner experience was one of the worst in recent memory. While the restaurant was not at all crowded, the service was inexcusably remiss. The list of service faux pas included too many to list. The front of the house sorely needs to get its act together and remember customers drive the business.......or not. While a bit heavy on the oil, the food was good.
- Great restaurant !!!!!!GourmetDined on 9/30/2014Best in the west !!!!!! for food , service , wine list .Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/28/2014I felt like it was overpriced, and the food was moderate. The ambiance was so incrediibly flat. The bathroom had decor better than the restaurant. I would only return for a drink, not the food.
- Tasty But loudDebbyDined on 9/27/2014We enjoyed a fabulous dinner Saturday evening with exceptional good and drink, but the noise level is deafening. They should read the Trib's recent article on sound buffering systems in restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!!!GoodFoodTreasureHunterDined on 9/27/2014Great for date night! This restaurant has such an interesting menu that we literally did not want to choose. We ordered the Tasting and the chef chose an amazing sequence of 9 generous courses for us that had us exclaiming over each and every one. The chef included specialties that were not even on the menu and we were delighted. What a great value! The service was superb for each course - there was never a moment that we had to wait. Their unique cocktails pair exceptionally well with the food. It was all perfectly timed to get us to the 16th Street Theater 8 PM performance. Autre Monde is the recommended on the theater website. We agree! Take your time to savor the experience...we'll keep raving about this peak dining experience!Special Features:
- Special placePaloneyDined on 9/23/2014The food was unique and excellent. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The staff was bright and attentive. Thanks Liz. Now one of my favorite places.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friday 9-19-14HollyDined on 9/19/2014A friend recomened it. We were going to see a band close by so I asked if there was anything close. The food was very good. We had a salad with a poached egg on top and the humus dish for appetizers. We had the pork dish for the main coarse and it was great. The service was just okay.Special Features:

- a huge hit!bonbon24VIPDined on 9/18/2014I brought 5 friends from out of town to Autre Monde as their very first suburban foodie experience, and A.M. knocked it out of the park! One of my friends was celebrating her birthday, and I brought a cake the day before to serve the next night. Both the host and the server acknowledged my friend's special day, and kept the cake secret until it came out, candles aflame. It was a very special night for all of us, and the food was tremendous. Five of the six of us had the trout, with one saying afterwards it was the best trout she'd ever had (a couple of us briefly entertained the idea of ordering a trout to go!) Everyone was extremely impressed, and I was very proud to have brought them to A.M.Special Features:
- Always amazing!McReviewDined on 9/16/2014I went with two girlfriends the other night. The service, the food and the drinks were off the chart. We may have had the last of the heirloom tomatoes and sweet corn. The tomatoes were delicious in the salad and the corn was just the right mix of crunchy, sweet and flavorful in a risotto. The sweet corn risotto was so amazing we ordered two! In addition we devoured the burrata, grilled octopus and trout. If you've never been to Autre Monde - GO. It's amazing and start with the blood orange gimlet!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- slow service and unadorned foodLike2eatwellVIPDined on 9/14/2014A group of 5 adults and an infant met for Sunday brunch, selected based on the location and prior diners' reviews. Coffee service was prompt, but it took a very, very long time to get our food to us. The seafood frittata special had shrimp and a nice olive oil flavor. But it was garnished only with a few sprigs of Italian parsley instead of the arugula which was listed as a component of the dish. No bread or any other accompaniment was offered, though a few slices of grilled bread were brought on request. Truffled scrambled eggs were similarly lonely. Because we were there for such a long time, we needed frequent coffee refills and the servers seemed annoyed. Disappointing.

- Outstanding!mcrawford678VIPDined on 9/10/2014The service was amazing, the food was creative and amazing, and the ambiance was just great! We would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GreatDMoneyVIPDined on 9/7/2014We enjoyed taking our friends there for their 1st anniversary. Always impressed with the food and the quality of the service. Their bartenders do amazing work with the cocktails and servers are very knowledgeable without being pushy or opinionated. Nice touch by the staff bringing out a free dessert for our friends. The restaurant asked if we were celebrating anything before we got there and made a note of it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectacular FoodDJBonkyDined on 8/29/2014I've been very critical of my dining experiences lately. Prices have gone up across the spectrum, but food prep, quality, and service have all declined. As a result I've stopped going to "new to me" locations. I decided to roll the dice Friday night on and bam...Yatzee! Jackie was a great server. She was attentive, knowledgable, and professional. She was not the least overbearing or as is often the case I've found in restaurants like these, snooty. We selected the chefs tasting which could not have been better. The food was fresh, seasoned well, presented lovely but not cutesy. The flavored were complex and layered, but highlights like the prime rib or trout were not ruined by "too much going on." I am greatly anticipating my return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious and funWylieseDined on 8/26/2014Food was excellent - while recognizable everything had a unique aspect to it that was a surprise. Fried artichokes, corn risotto, pork belly wrapped in pork shoulder, all familiar but pleasantly different and super fresh. This is small plate mediterranean food. All the plates we ordered were perfect for splitting among 4 people. The bill came to about $55 per person. We ordered 6 or 7 dishes, several cocktails each, and dessert. We were all comfortably full and pleasantly buzzed. And we left every plate totally clean. The patio is lovely and complete with a greenhouse. The husband and wife chef team source most of their produce from their own farm!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A bit of city in the 'burbsOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/23/2014Have never had a less than terrific meal at Autre Monde, and the service is always equal to the food. A go to spot if you're in the western suburbs and not up for the trek downtown--every bit as good as it's West Loop counterparts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BiryBlryVIPDined on 8/22/2014Outdoor patio is quiet and laid back. Great small plates to shareSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had a wonderful eveningLauraDined on 8/21/2014A group of us sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed our space the service and especially the food. We will return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Dining FavoriteMarkDined on 8/17/2014Autre Monde is a favorite of ours, but had never been there for brunch. Eating outside is what we prefer to do and even on a warm day the shade provided by trellises and greenery keeps it cool and there is often a breeze. The service is always outstanding with prompt service and personable and friendly wait staff that know how to be attentive without being intrusive. Brunch itself was also very good with a number of different options. There were four of us and we each had a different dish with a variety of flavors and rich qualities. The trouble is deciding which option to select. While excellent, we still prefer dinner at Autre Monde because of the combined ambience at night and terrific food options. Nonetheless, two thumbs up!Special Features:

Bush's Desire for a Conflict With Iran Is A Crisis Made in Israel
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The following is an excerpt from Scott Ritter's new book " Target Iran: The Truth About the White House's Plans for Regime Change" (Nation Books, 2006).
To understand Israel's present stance on Iran, perhaps the best place to begin is at Yad Vashem, Israel's main Holocaust museum and memorial. It is at Yad Vashem that Israelis reflect on the very reason there is a modern Israeli state, namely because of the genocidal forces that brought so much suffering upon the Jewish people in the past century. Modern Israelis are also reminded here of the political forces that continue to seek the elimination of not only the Jews, but also Israel itself.
Recognizing the powerful influence that the Holocaust plays on the psyche of Israel is not just important in terms of understanding why Israel would never tolerate the existence of forces opposed to its survival, but also how an issue of such emotional depth has the potential to poison an environment, to the point that Israel and its supporters can support policies that can end up being exploited for purposes that are detrimental to the long-term survival and prosperity of the Israeli state.
Anyone who has visited Israel as an official guest, as I have done a number of times, has been provided a tour of that tiny nation, and as such can sense Israel's perceived vulnerability. There is a certain paranoia that dominates the Israeli psyche, one that is not without some merit. The high number of suicide attacks bears witness to the reality that there are in fact organizations and people "out there" who seek to do harm to the state of Israel and the Israeli people.
It should come as no surprise then that senior Israeli politicians chose Yad Vashem as the place from which to make clear the Israeli policy regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions. On this year's Holocaust Remembrance Day two Iranian-born Jews delivered these remarks. "I call on the Western world to not stand silently in the face of the nations that are trying to acquire nuclear weapons and [who] preach the destruction of the State of Israel," Israeli President Moshe Katsav remarked during prepared remarks made at Yad Vashem. On the same day, at the opening of the Center for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University, outgoing Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz highlighted Israel's contention that Iran had funded terror groups operating inside the Palestinian territories with close to $10 million in financial assistance since the start of 2006. Mr. Mofaz went on to say that the Israeli policy should be focused on seeking the demise of the current regime in Tehran.
However, there is an element of hypocrisy inherent in the Israeli position. Israel possesses nuclear weapons capabilities that were acquired surreptitiously, and fields a force of modern ballistic missiles capable of firing nuclear warheads into not only Iran, but also every other nation in the region. The irony of Israel, a nation born of the Holocaust and alone among Middle Eastern nations in possessing the holocaust-generating power of nuclear weapons, condemning Iran for its rhetoric while itself espousing the demise of the Iranian government, is lost on few outside of Israel and the United States, and for a large part explains why the legitimacy of the Israeli concerns about Iran to a large extent fall on deaf ears.
The reality of the Holocaust (from an historical perspective) and the concept of the Holocaust (regarding Israel's future) dominate the national security thinking of the Israeli state. It is wrong to characterize the emotions and beliefs of over five million people in the person of a single individual, especially when it comes to the issue of Israel's national security, Iraq and Iran. However, there is one man who has so dominated these issues for over the past decade that it is impossible to speak of these issues without referring to his name over and over again -- Amos Gilad.
When meeting Amos Gilad, it is at first hard to imagine such serious matters being rolled up into the personage of such a man. He is medium height, with a thinning shock of white hair, possessing a soft, pudgy frame, and pale skin reflective of a career indoors, rummaging through papers and sitting through briefings; one would be hard pressed equating the physical impression of the man with the near-mythological status he holds as one of Israel's premier spymasters. But when the man speaks, and in doing so exposes his intellect to his audience, the physical no longer matters as the sharp insights and analytical capacity of Amos Gilad becomes clear. Whether one agrees with his assessments or not, there is no escaping the fact that with his soft but firm voice and direct presentation, Amos Gilad projects confidence.
This confidence is born of an adult lifetime spent in the service of the Israel Defense Force, serving as an officer within the Aman, or Military Intelligence. Born in 1954 to a father who immigrated from Czechoslovakia to Israel in 1939, and a mother who was a survivor of the Holocaust, Amos Gilad had the history of the persecution and near-extermination of Europe's Jews seared into his being from youth. The legend of Amos Gilad tells of how he wrote a paper on Auschwitz which involved research so detailed that it enabled the young Amos to correct any errors in stories told by camp survivors. A serious student, he enlisted in the Officer's Candidate Academic Studies Program upon graduating from high school, allowing him to earn a Master's Degree in Political Science from the University of Haifa before going on active duty.
With his advanced degree and sharp intellect, Gilad was a natural for assignment to Military Intelligence. He entered military service in the aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and as such joined an intelligence branch stinging from the embarrassment of failed analysis, a process which has taken on the shameful title of "konseptsia," from the Hebrew word for conception, a derogatory reference to the pre-1973 assessment of the head of Israeli Military Intelligence at the time, Eli Za'ira, who "conceived" that Egypt would not launch an attack against Israel, ignoring a huge amount of intelligence the contrary. In the aftermath of Eli Za'ira's konseptsia, the Aman put in place analytical checks and balances throughout the military intelligence system in order to make sure that never again would Israel fall victim to assessments void of fact.
The rigorous training in the art of intelligence paid off. In 1978, as a junior officer, Amos Gilad made a name for himself when he accurately predicted a PLO terror attack along the Israeli seacoast. In 1982, by now a major, he became embroiled in Israel's invasion of Lebanon. Assigned to the Aman's research branch, Gilad was very critical of Israel's close ties with the Lebanese Christian Phalangist militias. Major Gilad predicted that Israel's decision to allow the Phalangist militia into the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila would result in the massacre of the civilian population. On the night of September 16, 1982, Amos Gilad arrived at a forward command post near Beirut, and started immediately to send warnings of an impending slaughter back to his higher headquarters. His warnings were ignored, largely because analysts in the rear headquarters believed that Gilad was responding to a gut feeling, rather than hard fact?
The official investigation into the role of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) in Sabra and Shatila revealed that Major Gilad was acting on far more than gut feeling; he had overheard conversations between Israeli officers that indicated that a massacre was underway. The horrible events at Sabra and Shatila left a mark on Amos Gilad, making him not only more cognizant of the soundness of his analytical thinking, but the absolute requirement to press this analysis home in the face of doubters or bureaucratic inaction. Gilad worked his way through various assignments within the Aman, until fate had him, by this time a Colonel, serving as the head of the Iraq desk on the eve of the escalation of tensions with Iraq over its nuclear program, Saddam's subsequent threat to "burn half of Israel" with a chemical weapon, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and the American build-up in Saudi Arabia in response. As the head of the Iraq desk, Amos Gilad monitored Iraqi military developments continuously, and would brief his findings to the Director of Military Intelligence, and more often than not, to the Defense Minister and Prime Minister.
At the time of Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, the United States, through the Department of Defense, maintained an intelligence sharing program with the IDF, which operated under the code name Ice Castle. While the history of modern U.S.-Israeli intelligence sharing programs have as their genesis the tumultuous period surrounding the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the specifics of the Ice Castle program were tied to the crisis of Spring 1990, when Israeli intelligence detected a resurgence of activity within Iraq related to nuclear matters, prompting Israeli politicians to publicly speculate about a repeat of the 1982 attack by Israel on the Osirak nuclear reactor outside of Baghdad, an action that many today believe retarded Saddam Hussein's nuclear ambitions by over a decade.
Iraq, for its part, put Israel on notice that any such attack by Israel would result in an Iraqi counterattack, including the use of chemical weapons that would, according to Saddam Hussein, "burn half of Israel." The Ice Castle program revolved around Israel's concerns relating to Iraqi capabilities to launch such an attack, and U.S. intelligence data, specifically satellite photographs of western Iraq, was provided to Israel (via Israeli liaison officers dispatched to Washington, D.C.) to help detect any suspicious Iraqi activity in the deserts of western Iraq. Of specific concern for the Israelis were Iraqi SCUD missiles, armed with chemical warheads, which when operating from locations in western Iraq would be able to range all of Israel. In the period of heightened tensions between Israel and Iraq that followed into the summer of 1990, the Ice Castle cooperation detected a surge of ballistic missile related activity in western Iraq on the part of the Iraqi military, including the establishment of numerous fixed-arm missile launchers oriented toward Israel, and the survey of missile launch sites for Iraq's mobile SCUD launchers.
Theory quickly became reality when, following Iraq's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait, the Iraqi military deployed nearly a dozen chemical warhead-tipped SCUD missiles to the deserts of western Iraq. Even as U.S. forces surged into the Middle East in the months following the Iraqi invasion, Israel pushed the United States for more information on the Iraqi missile threat. However, the U.S. planning priority had shifted away from dealing with an Israeli-centric issue revolving around missile threats in western Iraq, to a larger matter of assembling a large, multi-national coalition comprising many key Arab allies, which would not only defend the eastern oil fields of Saudi Arabia from the threat of expanded Iraqi incursions, but also launch a counterattack designed to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. Israel's concerns were no longer America's concerns, so much so that Ice Castle imagery was diverted to U.S. military planners (myself included), while Israeli liaison officers sat empty handed in Pentagon briefing rooms.
Israeli military and political leaders grew increasingly irritated by the lack of U.S. sensitivity regarding what they viewed as a serious threat to Israeli security. Many in Israel talked of an Israeli preemptive strike on Iraq, but were pressured by the United States to stand down so as to do nothing that could be detrimental to the Arab-heavy coalition being assembled in Saudi Arabia to confront Iraq. On January 13, 1991, a U.S. delegation led by Assistant Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger went so far as to guarantee that after the second day of military action against Iraq, no Iraqi missiles would ever impact on Israeli soil.
This lack of American attention took on considerable political consequence when, in January 1991, Iraq fired SCUD missiles from western Iraq into Israeli cities following the initiation of military action on the part of a U.S.-led coalition designed to liberate Kuwait. In the early morning hours of January 17, the Israeli seaport of Haifa was struck, in rapid succession, by three Iraqi SCUD missiles. Two missiles impacted in the sea off the city proper, exploding on contact with the water. The third missile struck a shopping mall under construction, located near the checkpoint for the northern entrance to Haifa. Fortunately, the shopping mall was empty, most people had left their apartments for bomb shelters, and there were no casualties.
Shortly after the missile attack in Haifa, five more SCUD missiles struck Tel Aviv. The first missile exploded in the air over the suburb of Afeka, spreading debris over the trajectory flight path. The second missile struck a civilian factory structure in Azur, destroying that building. The third missile impacted in the Ezra quarter of Tel Aviv, completely destroying seventy-six housing apartments, and damaging nearly 1,000 more. It was this missile which caused most of the damage and all of the casualties in this first wave of missile attacks, wounding sixty-eight people, several seriously. Two more missiles fell over Tel Aviv that morning, one crashing into an orchard in Rishon Letzion, and the other exploding in the sky above Ganei Tikva.
But the damage had been done. For the first time in its post-1948 history, the heartland of Israel had been struck a heavy blow by the means of a deliberate attack by Arab military forces. Denied through American diplomacy the traditional Israeli defensive tactic of preemptive strike, and now facing the specter of dozens of wounded Israelis being rushed to hospitals amid the debris of their destroyed or damaged homes, all eyes in Israel turned to their military for swift and effective retribution.

on Liu Xiaobo's No Enemies, No Hatred.
Liu Xiaobo
No Enemies, No Hatred: Selected Essays and Poems
Translated by Wenguang Huang
Harvard University Press, January 2012. 400 pp.
The 20th century was marked by near-absolute totalitarian political systems in massive industrial societies. It was also a time for dissidents to rise and broadcast their dissent to their societies and the world. These dissidents exposed the true ugliness of tyrannical regimes. They are often our most cogent lens for seeing the endless strategies of spreading fear and administering punishment typical of many regimes then and today — the strategies we see recycled in Syria now, for instance, and will see again.
If there is to be a pantheon of such dissenters, Nobel Peace Laureate and Chinese writer and human rights activist Liu Xiaobo will have a prominent place in it. Liu is convinced that China is on the way to achieving a more democratic state, and that the Internet especially makes it possible for criticism and even political organization to thrive. He recognizes that the worldview informing his criticism of China is a Western one: it consolidates democratic ideals, separation of judicial, legislative, and executive powers, and freedoms of speech, assembly, association, and religion into a sophisticated vision of civil society.
Liu and fellow dissidents were inspired by Charter 77, the 35-year-old Czech manifesto calling upon the then Communist government of Czechoslovakia to respect human rights and bring to an end the normative fears and repression endemic to totalitarian societies. He became the main sponsor of the Chinese Charter 08 whose purpose was not to petition the authorities for change but rather to announce shared ideals to other Chinese people ready to hear them.
In the forefront of calls for democracy in China, Liu has engaged in various forms of dissent. In June 1989, at the time of the Tiananmen Square protests for democracy, Liu and three friends announced a three-day hunger strike to protest the treatment of protestors and to support the democracy movement. Many such actions have landed him in jail for years at a time, and his writings have often been suppressed.

And Color them with bloodstains?
Africans, Europeans or Asians-
We may differ by appearance
But aren't we all the same, humans?
In God if we believe…
Let the deaths happen by His will
And not by our fighting skill.
Let not our thoughts be caged
Either in the name of region
Or in the name of religion...
Let them fly with the wings of freedom
Beyond the limits, across the globe

Reviews for Classic Nail Enamel by Revlon
Rating: Sep 17, 2014 11:51pm
When I don't do Shellac, this is my go to polish!
These days I usually get Shellac because I love how long it lasts me. However before Shellac the only polish I would trust is Revlon Classis nail enamel. I could get away without using a base coat or top coat because it was so long lasting and shiny on it's own. Such a versatile, quick drying nail enamel. A lot of the colours in the extensive range only need 1 coat for rich, vibrant colour.
Rating: Aug 21, 2014 8:31pm
Pretty bad
Considering this isn't a very cheap polish and its a revlon product I was dissapointed. I have much cheaper products which last mych longer! This product started comming off my nails after only a few hours. I normally let the first coat set overnight before adding a second with no issues. With this product doing that was impossible. It also looked pretty streaky so I won't purchase again.

Dreaming for more
I have only one of these in the shade Dreamer, which is a darling periwinkle blue shade. I picked this up during one of Chemist Warehouse's 50% off revlon sales so it was great value for money but I wouldn't purchase this at the full price. The first coat is quite thin and streaky but the second coat resolves all of that and the colour is opaque and has a creme finish. The smell is not the strongest acetone scent that I've encountered but it might still bother sensitive noses. Luckily, it fades quickly and the scent does not translate onto the nails unlike some nail polishes I've tried. For me, the first signs of chipping appeared on the third day but this doesn't bother me as I like switching up my manicure often. Revlon does a huge colour range in many different finishes so there's something for everyone

Not the best
I am not quite sure which shades I purchased in this nail enamel, however I remember one being a pearlescent/opalescent pink colour which was quite sheer although added a pearly pink tone to my nails. The other was a shimmery gold colour, which again was quite sheer. I found that both shades needed at least two coats to get noticeable colour onto them however I did like the formula of the polish as it went on pretty smoothly. I would really have to try some other shades which give more colour because I really want to love this polish but at the moment it's only streaky and sheer coverage which is not what I am after.
The brush is your typical enamel brush so nothing special there however nothing particularly bad either. The size of the jar is quite big however it's Revlon's trademark nail enamel.
Might repurchase in different shades.

Streaky application
I found the application of the Revlon Classic Nail Enamel to be streaky. The polish is too thin and one coat is not enough, two coats and its not a smooth finish. The brush is also not big enough to cover the nail bed in a few strokes like Rimmel's nail polish brush. Would not buy again as it is dearer than many brands available in the mid price range.
Rating: May 11, 2014 3:39pm
good nailpolish, decent volume, what's not to like?
I only have a metallic, 2 cremes and 2 shimmery ones so I can't comment on their glitters, but in general revlon nailpolishes are one of those solid all-rounder products, and in Australia that deserves a slightly high price. (i'm a cheapskate anything over $10 for 14.7 mls is too much to me)
hang-on i'm pretty sure these cost more than 13.95, priceline sells them for 15.95.
fluid but not too thin, covers your natural colour in 1-2 coats, good pigmentation, wide colour range, isn't especially chip prone, and it's 3 free.
the shimmers with larger bits of glitter can feel a tiny bit gritty, but it's not really rough and one thin layer of topcoat will fix it.
Rating: May 10, 2014 11:43pm
An average polish, just satisfying
Application of this polish is easy as the consistency of this polish is quite 'runny' and thin. It is so easy to apply, it smoothly glides onto the nail and WILL adhere to your nail even though the polish is 'runny'. Since this formula is very thin, it does take 2-4 coats for an opaque look which can be time-consuming with the addition of the base/top coat.
Revlon brushes can be a nuisance, the brush is thin and since most people use the three stroke method, there might be a possibility of reloading the brush. The first coat is streaky and sometimes, even with 4 coats it can be still streaky. It takes practice for carefully/precisely painting the perfect curve under the cuticle. For me, it chips in 1-3 days and it usually chips on the edge (even applying polish on the free edge). The price of this product is not suited for the results, might be overpriced.

Favourite polish brand
I've tried lots of polishes but I always come back to this classic by Revlon. It applies to nails thick enough that generally only one coat is needed. The polish is silky as it claims and applies evenly. I've been buying this polish for years and it doesn't go gluggy quickly and I also find the long handled brush much easier to paint with. There's also a huge variety of colours which I love.
Rating: Jan 13, 2014 8:02pm
Not the best of the lot
I've been using Revlon nail polishes ever since I was a teenager in the 90's, and it's pretty much the same design at this point in 2014 as it was back then. The brush, bottle and formula have been similar throughout the years, and it's still all there!
The trip down memory lane aside, it has unfortunately not improved from 2014. It still takes quite a while to dry and the formula continues to be thin, meaning that each layer is a little sheer.
They do, however, have a great range of colours!

Doesn't last long, expensive for what it is
- The bristles on this nail brush are the thin sort (not the thick flat ones that other brands may use)
- Texture: Generally the ones I've used have applied well. I have a variety of pinks and corals.
- Biggest downside: doesn't last long at all! There's tip wear after a day and nail polish normally lasts at least 2 days (with base and topcoat) for me
- at $13.95 RRP, it is very very expensive for its quality.
- I much prefer other drugstore brands (e.g. essence, ulta3)

Jet Aviation buys smoke defenders
Clearly seeing the value of an emergency vision assurance system, Jet Aviation of Teterboro, N.J., will purchase smoke displacement technology for installation in its company-owned fleet, and as an option for client aircraft. Jet Aviation will acq-uire the system from EVASWorldwide of Ramsey, N.J.
Jet Aviation announced its commitment to EVAS at its display (Booth No. 3797) on Tuesday. Quoting a Washington Post article, Lisa Sasse, EVASWorldwide v-p, said that nearly one flight a day in the U.S. is diverted because of smoke in the cockpit or cabin. The EVAS system, which defends against the effects of heavy and continuous smoke, is manufactured by the Visionsafe Corp.
The technology is the only cockpit smoke system approved and certified by the FAA, EASA and Transport Canada, and the only one of its type allowing pilots to see vital instruments as well as their flight path. There are more than 1,200 EVAS systems in use worldwide, being offered as a client option by Cessna Aircraft Co., Gulfstream Aerospace, Bombardier and Dassault Falcon Jet.

"I'm just a nice Southern girl. It's such an easy lifestyle. And it's more diverse than you'd expect. There's so much great music. The Black Keys go jogging past the restaurant Keith and I go to. We'll hang out with Jack White in the studio. And there's music in our house all the time — Keith plays harmonica, drums, banjo, piano and bass guitar. He has a strong will about his career, and so do I. We want each other to thrive and do what we love, and we never interfere in the other's career choices." (x)
During a Friday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman opened up about her daughters Sunday, 4, and Faith, 2.
"They were both born in Nashville, and we live in Tennessee now. They have a mix of Australian and Southern [accents], which is really cute, but my mama always says, 'I can't understand her [Sunday],' because …she says, 'Hey, y'all!' to her grandparents."
"The great thing about being married to a musician … is you have music in the house all the time. There is something very joyful about having music. Because Keith can play pretty much any instrument, he'll just play piano at 7 a.m. in the morning. Breakfast around the piano is very much a part of our life."
Nicole Kidman for Harper's Bazaar Australia, June/July 2012. Photographed by Will Davidson.The shoot took place a few hours out of Sydney in a country home with a perfect red dirt road, as envisioned by Davidson. Kidman arrived on time, without entourage, and even spotted the crew not a coffee but a coffee van — "my treat" — when she was told the cost was beyond the shoot budget. She was a willing photographic subject, talked to me in an unguarded and genuinely warm manner before the pictures, and later waited obligingly until dark for a specific Gucci dress to arrive. Later in the afternoon, Sunday and Faith arrived after their sleeps to see Mummy. Kidman didn't want to put them down; Sunday donned one of the tuxedo jackets from the clothing racks because it was getting chilly. The photographer then took some shots of Kidman with the girls solely for her family album.
"I'm happier than I've ever been in my life. I'm living in a friend's house in Nice. My two daughters are with me, Sunday Rose, who's 4, and Faith Margaret, who's 2. My mother is about to fly in from Australia to babysit. Then Keith will be arriving…My family is with me. My family."

"I live with this insanely talented guy. I wake up to him playing the piano and go to sleep with him playing the guitar. It's pretty amazing."
Nicole Kidman in a campaign for her ambassadorship with Swisse, an Australian health supplement company.
"I love feeling healthy and fit. They are wonderful attributes of the Australian way of life and I am a very proud Australian. I'm excited to be part of the growth of a small Australian family-built company dedicated to good health and well being."
"I don't really make decisions. I go with the flow. If I were a strategically minded person, I think I would have a far different career. But I would be more outlandish if I could. A lot of times you just don't get the chance." — Nicole Kidman
(Source: becketts)
"We were open to whatever happened, but to have Faith come, so that there were two little girls together, so they can have one another's backs … That's what I'm always going to tell them: 'You've got to take care of each other because that's the important thing between sisters, that you take care of each other, that you're there for each other.'" — Nicole Kidman
