Jose Mourinho may have insisted pre-match that the past was just that, but it was a ghost from Lyons' past that saw Real Madrid emerge happier from a tight encounter here last night. Karim Benzema's instant impact was due acknowledgement that something special was required to end Real's barren run in this corner of eastern France, even if Bafetimbi Gomis's late equaliser meant it was not decisive.
"My team isn't scared of the [return] match, and isn't scared of history," Mourinho insisted of their bête noire after Benzema's contribution. It's widely accepted that the coach is keen to move on the 23-year-old – with whom the Portuguese last night insisted he was "very satisfied" – at the season's end, but it may just be that Benzema's parting gift, like that of another expensive French striking flop at the Bernabeu, Nicolas Anelka, is to help Real Madrid regain their European crown.
Real were seeking to break a record that had seen three defeats in as many games and no goals scored on their European bogey ground. Yet it was last season's semi-finalists who began on the front foot, and Michel Bastos toe-poked over from an acute angle in the fourth minute after Yoann Gourcuff's pass dissected the Spanish back line. While Mourinho's men enjoyed the lion's share of possession, a less refined Lyons attacked with greater verve and gusto in the early stages. Real were shaken.
It took Madrid almost half an hour to get off their first shot of the contest, when Angel Di Maria sent a 25-yarder comfortably enough into the midriff of Hugo Lloris. The second, some two minutes later, saw the France No 1 work up more of a sweat as he dived to swat away Cristiano Ronaldo's low free-kick.
Still the visitors struggled to get a handle on their opponents, and they gasped when Iker Casillas failed to gather the lively Bastos's low cross after a lightning breakaway. Fortunately for the nine-times European champions, the captain recovered excellently to divert Gomis's effort over the bar.
Real started the second period with a greater intensity, and Bastos was cautioned for hauling down Di Maria after losing possession to him, a card which will keep the Brazilian out of the return. Ronaldo was inches from exacting more punishment but his dipping free-kick smacked back into play off Lloris' left post. Moments later, a Sergio Ramos header hit the crossbar from a Mesut Ozil corner as Madrid moved finally to impose themselves.
Ronaldo fervently appealed for a penalty after another free-kick from the edge of the area appeared to strike Gourcuff's arm – which Mourinho later described as "obvious. He [the referee] was five yards away" – but he was about to be shifted from centre stage in dramatic fashion.
Benzema, the scorer of 65 goals in 145 matches for Lyons before his £30m transfer in 2009, replaced the ineffective Emmanuel Adebayor to a raucous welcome in the 65th minute and immediately showed why he was valued so highly. He won the ball with his first touch, transferred it to Ozil then raced on to Ronaldo's pass in the area. Taking out Aly Cissokho with a deft sidestep, he calmly sidefooted the ball past Lloris, before declining to celebrate in the midst of a gaggle of elated team-mates.
Madrid appeared comfortable, but Claude Puel's men profited from an unlikely slice of luck that they lacked amid their first-half industry.
Gourcuff's 83rd-minute free-kick deflected high into the air, and Cris's headed flick found an unattended Gomis on the six-yard line, where he duly sidefooted past Casillas.
"We would have preferred that they didn't score, but my team reacted very well," reflected Puel after the final whistle. "We showed again that we can compete with them."
Lyons (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Réveillère, Cris, Lovren, Cissokho; Toulalan, Källström (Pjanic, 77); Bastos (Briand, 70), Gourcuff, Delgado (Pied, 70); Gomis. Substitutes not used Vercoutre, Gassama, Diakaté, Gonalons.
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Casillas; Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, Arbeloa; Khedira (L Diarra, 68), Alonso; Di María, Özil (Marcelo, 75), C Ronaldo; Adebayor (Benzema, 64). Substitutes not used Adán, Kaká, Granero, Albiol.

Liverpool 1 Portsmouth 1
STEVEN GERRARD stood and watched in disbelief, his hands on his hips, as his Liverpool team-mates contrived to undermine his latest rescue act by conceding an inexplicable stoppage-time equaliser that cast serious doubts about their hopes of satisfying his ambitions.
For the second time in six days, albeit in far less dramatic circumstances than in the breathless Champions League victory over Olympiakos, Gerrard had dragged Liverpool almost single-handedly out of the sea of mediocrity that threatens to consume them, this time with a spectacular free kick with 20 minutes to go. It is questionable whether even a 1-0 win would

This year, I've committed to making breakfast a priority. Since I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I want to begin treating it as such–especially focusing on family to start my day off right. My recommitment to breakfast was the inspiration for this recipe.
If there was ever a dish to serve for a family breakfast or brunch, this would be it. It's quick, easy and decadent. It has all of my favorite ingredients in one dish. Who doesn't love bacon and brown sugar? Who doesn't adore maple syrup and butter? And most importantly, who doesn't have a serious love affair with Pillsbury Grands! biscuits? This recipe will only take a few more minutes than popping your beloved biscuits in the oven for a simple meal. It just takes breakfast up a notch and trust me, your family will love you even more for it.
In a medium-size bowl, add melted butter, packed brown sugar, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon and all-purpose flour and whisk together until well combined and thickened. Next, add in your crumbled bacon and gently stir together into the mixture without breaking apart the pieces any further.
Jocelyn wants to help a new generation of bakers to "not feel guilty about enjoying dessert," and spends her time whipping up old classics, new favorites and must-try trend desserts in an easy, accessible way.

Best: Sheamus Is A 40-Degree Day
I loved four big things from last night's opening segment:
1. Obviously, the 'The Wire' reference. 'The Wire' is the best show in the history of television and I love it so much I found a way to write 15 pages about it on a comedy sports blog. Punk dropping street legend and Honey Nut Cheerios enthusiast Omar Little's classic line "you come at the king, you best not miss" was amazing, although you'd think with Punk's tendency to lean homophobic he would've called Omar a vagina and dropped Marlo's MY NAME IS MY NAME instead. Regardless, more Wire references on wrestling, please.
2. I love how backed into a corner the Chicago crowd is during this CM Punk heel turn. Most crowds are doing that thing where Punk's music hits and they go crazy, and then he starts You Peopling them and they boo. Chicago has been etched into wrestling history as the one crowd who will love and support Punk no matter what, so they chant his name like it's July 2011, and when he starts in with the "if you disagree with me you disrespect me, Jerry Lawler's head is a bean bag full of lard" stuff they're SUPPOSED to boo, but they can't, and end up just kinda going "yayyy" and clapping politely. It's hilarious. Wrestling crowds should never get so into being "wrestling crowds" that they stop reacting to stuff naturally. Every wrestling crowd of any kind in America, I'm looking in YOUR direction.
3. The sad but true fact that the World Heavyweight Championship is the new Intercontinental Championship is finally spoken. When Shane McMahon showed up on Raw, the big gold belt officially became a WWE thing, and all the Rics Flair and Harleys Race you want to assign to it become irrelevant. It's a lasting testament to WWE being more important than its competitors, and while holding the belt gets you a nice set of words on your Wikipedia page, it's no more prestigious than holding Matt Hardy's silver ECW bangle. They can just retcon that shit from history whenever they want. Who knows this better than Punk? There's a reason he held the Big Gold three times before he got important and held the real one.
4. …
Worst: Seriously Though, LOL At Sheamus' Babyface Promo
Poor Sheamus was doing his best to be a relatable, natural babyface last night and oh man was it hilarious. First he Shameful Thing Lobster Headed dout to the ring to say, more or less, OI SHORE DO LOVE BEIN' IN SHERCARGO, THE PORTY NEVER STOPS. I'm guessing this is the first time he's ever had to say "Chicago" out-loud. I had a similar experience the first time I tried to say "taciturn".
Then Punk starts in on his stuff, and while I think Punk's a little too confident in his ability to overshadow everyone on the microphone, True Facts state that Punk's in Chicago and is going to be more loved and comfortable than ever. So Sheamus brings up a few good points (Punk's going to talk for 30 minutes, Punk's doing Sheamus what The Rock tried to do to Punk), but he's so damn Irish and excited he can't get it out straight. I'm not sure who said it on Twitter last night, but only CM Punk could make Chicago boo the Irish.
They should do a Backstage Fallout segment where Sheamus is riding home on the bus, headphones on, scribbling promo notes on a piece of paper. He puked spaghetti on his sweater this week, but eventually he'll lose himself in the moment and have his "f**k the Free World" moment.
Worst: Randy Orton Is Dominating So Slowly I'm Starting To Think He Lost A Bet
Is there a way we can just let Randy Orton do steroids? Between wellness violations he had that Kicking Vince's Head In moment where he was gonna be the next Stone Cold and that great, silent run on Smackdown where he'd wrestle guys like Christian every week and have good-to-great matches, but since coming back as 1/2 Randy Orton he hasn't done a lot besides stand around and wait for you to run into his moves. At some point during Orton's stomping last night I drifted off to sleep, and woke up this morning suddenly remembering a bunch of great moments from the match. No, seriously, the Dolph headstand audibled into a Cattle Mutilation thing, Orton's intensity throwing Ziggler into the ropes for his hanging DDT, all sorts of things. But thinking back I was so goddamn bored out of my mind watching it. I'm pretty sure I got Dark City'd.
If I could be in charge of WWE Creative for a year, the first thing I'd do is take control of Randy Orton's character and push it in the right direction. I mean, the FIRST thing I'd do is write a love triangle between Kaitlyn, Raquel Diaz and new Raw General Manager Brandon, but after that I'd go back to the things that made Orton's character unique ("IED" disorder, his shady past, his tendency to just assume things will be given to him instead of working hard to have them) and turn them up as high as they'll go. Maybe he'll come across as a wacky nutbag like when he was doing jumping toe-touches or whatever on Smackdown, but maybe he'll be that corrupted "new Stone Cold" they've wanted so bad … a morally and socially reprehensible character who's just too interesting to deny. He doesn't have to drink beers and drive trucks into the arena, he can be his own version of it. Shit in peoples' bags and lick unconscious lady faces. Whatever. Anything's better than "popular guy who's like John Cena, but worse".
Best: Dolph Ziggler, Master Of The Raw Rematch
One of my favorite moments of the show was Grabbing Of The Trunks-Gate, if only for that awesome moment where Ziggler wanted to roll out of the ring and chose the farthest possible spot away to do so, and the camera cut to Vickie doing this amazing, toothy, goofy walk around the corner to meet him.
That's their relationship in a nutshell, isn't it? A guy who thinks he's the greatest thing ever but secretly knows he's the captain of the B-team, managed by a woman who says her guy's the best but secretly thinks he's about as good as Jack Swagger, so she gets shoot shocked when he pulls it out. That's a thousand times more compelling than the "arrogant man" and "shrew woman" commentary they get. Sometimes all it takes is a different perspective on what you're being told to turn a boring character into a great one.
And while that sentence is reminding me, we miss you, John Laurinaitis. Please come back to us.
Best: I Am Emotionally Invested In This Anger Management Story
I wrote about it at length last week, but I don't think I've considered backstage segments "must see" since maybe … hell, I don't know, Eugene and William Regal were friends? Tajiri was testifying in wrestling court? Some time around then, I don't know.
But no, the Daniel Bryan and Kane anger management segments should just be a horrible waste of time to secondhand shill a Charlie Sheen show, but they're great. Daniel Bryan is turning everything he turns to gold this year (so fast the t-shirt people can't keep up with the funny stuff he says and does) (because he's the Best In The World) and Kane is at his best in surreal comedy (see also: "suck it"), so it's heartwarming to see them actually show up with their anger collages and work through their problems. Kane's anger collage being blank because he feels blank on the inside is strangely moving, even if WWE fans would roll their eyes and say "gay" and it was just a set-up for a fire joke. And yeah, I wish Bryan had worked Roderick Strong onto his anger collage, but I'll take what I can get.
The best part is that I had NO IDEA where this was going. And oh God, did it go.
Worst: That Funkadactyl Had To Get Drunk, So Cody Rhodes Has To Team With Tensai Instead Of Damien Sandow
As you may be aware, for the next 15 days, Funkateers will be putting their hands together for the lovely Naomi. Funkadactyl Cameron, the one from Tough Enough who thought Melina vs. Alicia Fox was the best match of all time and is way less great than Naomi, was suspended for 15 days for driving drunk and trying to bribe a police officer with $10,000 to not report it. If you're keeping score: drunk driving and bribing a police officer gets you a 15-day suspension, making a joke about Kobe Bryant 10 years too late gets you fired.
Anyway, I'm guessing they can't just have Brodus Clay walk down to the ring and wrestle, they have to do the whole goddamn thing every time, so until Cameron returns, the Funkasaurus has to remain in captivity. That means a depressingly low amount of Damien Sandow on Raw (because on Raw, you and your rival can only appear with and in relation to each other). Because of THAT, the fledgling team of RHODES SCHOLAR became Cody Rhodes and f**king Lord Tensai. I can't come up with a name for them as funny as Rhodes Scholar because 1) Cody isn't doing his Doctor Doom gimmick anymore, and 2) not enough of you watch puroresu to get my "Bag Intentions" joke.
What I'm saying is that you ruined this for everybody, Cameron. I see no reason they can't put Alicia Fox in a pair of sparkly ass-lifters and call her "Funkadactyl Vicky" for two weeks. At least let Sandow call her a "Drunkadactyl" one good time before her suspension is over.
Best: This Is How You Use Sin Cara
The tag team match itself was a fun little thing, and helped me notice how much better Sin Cara has been since he started pumping his fists a few weeks ago. Before, Sin Cara was a slow-moving silent guy who just kinda pointed at you and almost put you in wrestling moves before he fell over. Now he seems alive under the mask, probably due to working with that fat little guy in the Jerry Lawler sleeveless-T and learning the value of getting beaten to death by the heels before throwing out a couple of moves and looking spectacular.
That's what Rey Mysterio's WCW and WWE runs were built on. You probably remember him hitting springboard dragonranas on Eddie Guerrero or reversing Splash Mountain into a pin against Psicosis. You remember the big flashy stuff he did, and how cool he seemed … but when you go back and watch those matches, Eddie and Psicosis beat the ever-loving dog shit out of Rey for like 20 minutes at a time before he mounted his comeback. Most of his WCW stuff is built around getting FUBAR'd by everyone better than Super Calo before pumping his fists and little and jumping at them all crazy. When he entered WWE he had a mystique of being this legendary high-flyer, but his matches against Chavo were just taking suplexes for 10 minutes before hitting a 619, a move that routinely gets the height of a John Cena dropkick.
That's what Sin Cara should be doing. Instead of asking poor Hunico to stand there in wheelbarrow position waiting for the next move like he's in the homestretch of a Dragon Gate sprint, let somebody who DOESN'T really fly, but could in theory — a Cody Rhodes, for example — and let them beat him up until he "defies gravity" or "confounds reality" or whatever and pulls it off. He won't carry the burden of having to hit a bunch of spots, and fans will leave his matches thinking they've seen something special, whether they have or not.
Also, bring back the trampoline. I don't care if he can't do it, put "learn how to do the trampoline or GTFO" in his contract.
Best: Trust Fall
I thought for sure that WWE's only possible payoff to a trust fall in anger management therapy would be Daniel Bryan hitting the ground and Kane deadpanning "oops" or whatever. Then, as if to directly teach me not to assume I know everything that'll happen, Kane catches him. He catches him, and the look on Daniel Bryan's face when it happens is the same as mine.
That's what's making these anger management segments work so well: they're defying expectations. At no point in my life did I think WWE would handle therapy, especially "wussy" therapy about collages and hand-holding, as a positive. I didn't think they'd get something good out if it, and they've gotten NOTHING but good out of it. They had the Harold pratfall to make the kids laugh, sure, but it was to further the complex relationship between Bryan and Kane. They had the anger management coach "get angry" for the obvious joke, but it was to help Bryan and Kane take a step back and realize how ridiculous their WWE world of problem resolution is. It's stupid enough to not take itself seriously, but serious enough to stick. That's amazing for WWE comedy writers, and even if it's just Bryan and Kane being funny enough to make it work, I'm giving them a big shiny gold star Best. If I had your job, I'd want to write stuff like this.
And no, even this wasn't the best part.
Worst: #1 Contender John Cena Is More Important Than Both Champions, or
Best: CM Punk Is Not Going Through These Motions Again
I was really worried when #1 Contender John Cena vs. Additional #1 Contender For Whatever was announced as the show's main event and a f**king CHAMPION VERSUS CHAMPION MATCH was 9PM filler. And I'll be honest, I got even more nervous when Punk walked out in jeans and started in on how great Chicago is again, because I thought for sure he'd make the match a CHICAGO STREET FIGHT~. Jeans = street fighting. When he walked out, I thought, "oh, okay, they get it now". They still haven't referenced the big WATCH THE ROCK AND JOHN CENA THIS SATURDAY ON NBC IN MUSIC VIDEO FORM FROM A SHOW FROM LIKE SIX MONTHS AGO graphic over Punk's show-ending angle with Lawler, but I'll take what I can get.
Punk's new character is weird, because he's not Classic WWE Heel CM Punk enough for me to fawn over, but he's close enough for me to make sure I watch … and at the same time, he's not totally divorced from Pandering WWE Champion CM Punk, no matter how heelish he acts, and that makes me want to turn away. I feel like I'm only liking him because he's turned his anger to people I don't like. When he was Mr. Ice Cream Bars he went from ragging on Vince McMahon and Triple H to insulting John Laurinaitis and Daniel Bryan, and I couldn't stand it. Now he's running down Jerry Lawler and Sheamus. Is he good again, or did he just stop f**king with my favorites?
Either way, every wrestler should have Labor Day off. Oh, sorry, they should have Independent Contractor Day off.
Also, I'm pretty sure AJ is the most heel GM Raw's ever had. Even Bischoff smiled and acted nice to some of the heels. AJ's just hateful to everybody. If Punk hadn't told her to go screw and walked to his car she probably would've started hitting him.
Worst: Jack Swagger Is Seriously Not The Best Opponent You Could Find, Is He?
So okay, assuming that wrestling is real and everyone's job is what they say it is, I can imagine how stressed AJ was to have to find a replacement opponent for Sheamus on a commercial break's notice. At the same time, Sheamus is the World Heavyweight Champion, so factoring out the 10% of guys already booked and the 40% of the locker room pulling that coward act all the time and therefore wouldn't "man up" for a fight, that's still 50% of the Raw roster who should be JUMPING at the chance to face the Second Best In The World in a showcase match on the flagship show.
What I'm getting at is that Losing Streak Jack Swagger could not possibly be the best opponent you had available. Sure, maybe my top pick (USA Guy) isn't ready to go, but anybody's better than Swagger. Camacho is better than Swagger right now. Camacho doesn't want that match? Tyson Kidd pinned Tensai, didn't he? Sheamus versus William Regal would be the f**king best. Or Sheamus versus Drew McIntyre, a guy he's wrestled a thousand times. DAMIEN SANDOW IS RIGHT THERE. Do that again for all the people who aren't home on Friday nights and didn't see Sheamus get carried like he was KC James.
Best: Texas Cloverleaf, Son!
Michael Cole had "never seen Sheamus use a submission maneuver before" (you know, the same thing he said when Sheamus beat Santino with a Texas Cloverleaf back in June of last year, or when he used it against Daniel Bryan in their 2-out-of-3 Falls Match at Extreme Rules … really easy stuff to forget), but any and all emulation of Dean Malenko gets a best from me in these reports.
Best: Good Luck On Mars, Jack
Or, "So Long, And Thanks For All The Lisp".
In case you're wondering what all this Jack Swagger Astronaut talk is about, it stems from something I wrote about Brock Lesnar quitting WWE via Tout in the August 20 edition of The Best And Worst Of WWE Raw:
Why is "I AM QUITTING AND LEAVING FOR NO RAISIN" Brock Lensar's only buffer between storylines? Can't he just not show up again until he needs to show up again? We don't see Jack Swagger on every show, we don't need him in an astronaut suit saying WELL I'M OFF ON MY EXPEDITION TO MARS to explain it.
With Jack Swagger formally announcing to the audience that he'll be "taking some extended time off" to figure out what happened to him (he's better than this), now's the PERFECT time to begin our Jack Swagger Of Mars sub-story. Look for an installment every week he's gone, assuming he's actually gone and not just showing up next week dressed as the Mad Hatter, or whatever the hell they'd do with him.
Honestly, there are so many ways you can go with a "former champion gets down on his luck, takes time off to refocus" angle. You can have him come back with a new, more serious persona and f**k people up. You can have him go to Japan, learn to "dominate" the Japanese, shave his head and write some shit on his face. You can have him return with the Swagger Soaring Eagle and make Brandon happy. Anything, really. Just don't have him go away and never come back, because he's good at his job whether you want him to be or not.
Also, I feel like I shouldn't have to keep addressing AJ directly, but damn, you are the worst general manager ever. Brock Lesnar left because "leaving" is what Brock Lesnar does. Chris Jericho left because you SUDDENLY PUT HIM IN A MATCH WITH A STIPULATION THAT HE'D HAVE TO LEAVE IF HE LOST. He didn't really make that decision. And Punk didn't "leave", he took the night off because 1) it's Labor Day, and 2) you're always jerking him around with crappy non-title matches. Losing Jack Swagger is not a big deal. Do you cry if Jinder Mahal leaves early? I can't believe I'm telling you this now and not when you were putting wrestlings through tables, but Jesus, get a grip, lady.
Worst: Layla Vs. The Miz, An Argument I Never Want To Hear Again
The Miz filled in for Jerry Lawler on commentary last night, and I haven't mentioned it up until now because I'm still not sure what to make of the experience. It was a rollercoaster for me. When he walked out to join the booth, I thought, "oh god, Miz can't improvise, this is going to be terrible". Then he proved me right, doing a weird Ed Grimley thing where he said I MUST SAY after too many things in a row, and that gave way to him talking loudly and not getting Michael Cole's sarcasm. It was unbearable. At some point he settled in and I was able to ignore him. I stopped thinking of him as The Miz On Commentary, and some of the stuff he said was funny.
That being said, his argument with Layla about the Divas division and physical beauty is one of the most f**king unbearable things I've ever had to hear in my f**king life. You only get a little of it in the video. Between Miz's insistence that obviously gorgeous model/dancer Layla El is a "2" and Layla's shirt with a big glittery LOL on it, it felt like I was listening to somebody read a 4Chan thread out-loud. If you find the entire segment online, I recommend watching it with the sound down, and something more pleasant playing in another window. It works really well with DeBarge's 'Rhythm Of The Night'. Layla even kinda looks like the sexy lady version of El DeBarge. Layla El DeBarge. Holy shit.
And come to think of it, the 'Rhythm Of The Night' video is also way better than this match. New plan: Stop watching wrestling and watch a bunch of DeBarge videos. This should be Johnny Curtis' new entrance theme.
Best? Worst?: The Whole Kaitlyn/Eve Thing
The bad: Kaitlyn is still very green, and Eve Torres is a sort of living black hole of wrestling whose pom-pom girl kicks and 45° moonsault opens us up to a new world of terrible Divas possibility. A lot of people like to say she's "good at wrestling" because she's mildly athletic, and while she seems like a pleasant, well-meaning person, I would be happiest if she went into reality television on a permanent basis and stopped ruining up to three minutes of my wrestling show per week. There is nothing she can do that David Otunga can't do better, including wrestling, smarmy backstage segments and having gigantic boobs.
The good: Despite all the horrible commentary, I like that the Divas are getting multifaceted storylines. Instead of simply going with "Kaitlyn wins a battle royal, wrestles the champion", they're running concurrent stories … Kaitlyn DID unexpectedly win a championship opportunity (eliminating the more experienced Eve), one she's enthusiastic about but clearly not ready for. Eve's been forced to restructure her career from the ground up following the fallout from the Cena/Ryder and John Laurinaitis things, so she's wedging herself into the Smackdown management hierarchy and pretending to be the old, good sportsman Eve Torres people allegedly cheered. Layla's fallen into a comfort zone with her Divas Title, but she's not catching fire the way she expected, and she's suddenly facing challenges from all around. She's never been the "experienced, legendary Diva" before, and she's never been badgered about management issues. To date, her biggest profile thing was against Snooki.
So that's something, right? An attempt at a story, whether there's really one or not. I like Layla and I love (for real, answer my letters) Kaitlyn, so if Eve can provide a compelling wedge and maybe give Kaitlyn a fluke win she didn't deserve, it could be a thing. An actual thing. And maybe Kaitlyn can show up in the latter half of Raw one of these days and forearm AJ in the mouth.
Best: Good Luck On Mars, Jinder Mahal
Just kidding, Jinder Mahal is the worst. Hopefully this is the end of him existing on WWE television, and we can give his spot to somebody who knows how to close the window. Also, Jesus, listen to Miz try his best to call a Ryback match effectively only to be shat on my Cole at every turn.
Fun fact: I almost RAN TO MY COMPUTER and ordered the Ryback shirt, because I am the biggest sheep on the planet. My wrestling t-shirt budget is +$30 this month because Daniel Bryan just put a bunch of NO stickers over his YES shirt. Unfortunately it (like the rest of Ryback) looks a little too "Rob Van Dam" for my taste, so I'm going to hold out and hope they mass produce those Heath Slater "One Man Band" shirts. Or I'll give up, grow my beard out and buy an Egyptian cotton robe.
Worst: I'M THE HOST OF NXT, THAT'S WHO
And the award for Worst Segment On Raw goes to General Manager Pantsuit for her "who are you?" to Matt Striker when he tried to ask her a question. There are a lot of possibilities here, like maybe pressure is causing AJ to lose her memory and that's why she thinks Falls Count Anywhere matches are brutal punishment or whatever, or maybe she's just power hungry and knows who Matt Striker is, she's just pulling a DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM on him and being awful. That said, taking the segment at face value, AJ just asked the host of NXT, a show she was honored to participate in, who he was.
He's the guy who presided on your greatest moment ever, you little butthole.
I swear, if cute, affable AJ Lee is gone forever it'll be the worst loss of character since Mickie James stopped being a psycho, be-skirted lesbian and I'll never forgive them. Give her back to me, WWE.
In a related note, I miss the hell out of Maxine. #yellowropesforever
Best: Raw Peaks
Even the title of the video is incredible:
The WWE Universe decides that Kane and Daniel Bryan must hug it out
The edited version on WWE Fan Nation doesn't really do the segment justice and leaves out a bunch of the awkward silence and build-up, but I can say with confidence that Daniel Bryan and Kane hugging it out is one of the happiest 10 minutes I've had watching Raw in years.
I love everything about it. I love that WWE audiences (or the people rigging WWE's polls) are in on the joke enough to want to see them "hug it out". I love that Bryan and Kane don't really want to hug each other or make amends, but they're remembering their therapy and doing their exercises and it's the right thing to do. I'm glad that they both end up hugging for real, and that it temporarily causes an understanding between them. I love that this and the trust fall have shown that Bryan and Kane are very similar, and that if they worked together they'd be great, but that that similarity is CRAZY ANGER and it'd never work. I like that the hugging escalates to shoving, and that the shoving escalates to KANE TRYING TO DECAPITATE DANIEL BRYAN. Like, it doesn't go from shoving to kicking and punching, it goes from shoving to f**king decapitation attempts.
If you didn't like this segment, we're very different people. If you're one of the people on WWE.com leaving comments about how they're "either pussies or gay", I hope they write fewer stories for you and more like this for the rest of us.
Best: Antonio Cesaro Is Squashing Dudes On Raw
Claudio Castagnoli showed up to wrestle on Raw and he's the United States Champion. And his music sounds less like something from Fire Pro. How great is that?
Let's keep our fingers crossed that this is the end of 1) Santino and The Cobra having issues, and 2) Santino challenging for major titles, and we can send Cesaro off to feud with Ryder or preferably THE MOTHERF**KING USA GUY, and send Santino back to those YouTube videos where he says THAT'S A SPICY MEAT-A-BALL-A like Captain Lou in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Antonio Cesaro has such a ridiculous upside I can't even explain it … he's good in the ring, he's a good kind of WWE funny on the microphone, he's got an occupational gimmick that'll last (DISGRACED RUBGY STAR… NOBODY FACT CHECK) and a shoot-international persona that says forever. He can make lighter guys look great but he can throw them around to make HIMSELF look great, and people like Aksana seem more important by being around him. Also, as long as he's around, Sara Del Rey's got a great chance of keeping her job. And Kassius Ohno has a tag team partner if he ever sees the light of day. AND MAYBE THEY CAN TEAM HIM UP WITH DANIEL BRYAN AND DAVE TAYLOR AGAIN.
Santino's upside is "he sells a lot of 10-dollar novelty socks". Maybe WWE has finally learned to balance those upsides equally.
Worst: The Wrong Kid Died
Zack Ryder's on a winning streak, which means he needs to win matches against guys like Heath Slater, but I don't have to like it.
Watch OMG work his ass off to make Ryder's Brawlin' Buddy offense look good. Watch him swing his head back and his hair around like Ryder's punches are devastating, and convince an arena of people that Ryder's fist could knock down a human being. Zack Ryder couldn't knock over a house of cards with a punch if he got a running start. A well-placed Jumping Dick To The Face later and Slater takes the loss. It's what happens, and hey, if you're gonna sell Statue Of Lib-Bro-ty shirts or whatever, you might as well let him beat the guy who could barely beat Doink.
In a perfect world, Heath Slater would be the one on a winning streak. But hey, pro wrestling and food service are the only jobs in the world where the best in the business are the ones losing spectacularly.
Worst: Would A Lawyer Really Use Tout To Announce That He'll Announce Something On An Upcoming Wrestling Show?
/shakes head
/slurps coffee
The only good things about this Tout (besides how hilariously big the coffee thermos is getting … look at that thing, it can barely fit in the Tout window) are that David Otunga is getting paired up with semi-important people again, and that for once, Sheamus' "brutal assault" was warranted. ADR got Ricardo to distract Sheamus and attacked him first, justifying Sheamus roaring back and Brogue Kicking everyone involved. Sheamus didn't even strip Ricardo down to his Owl City jammies or whatever and cover him in Fun Dip like he normally would. It's a step in the right direction.
Worst: Do Not Be A Star Under Any Circumstances
A step in the HORRIFYINGLY WRONG DIRECTION is the inclusion of Perez Hilton, the Internet's leading celebrity shadow bully, in the Be A Star video. If you aren't familiar with Perez's work, he's the guy who takes photos of celebrities walking down the street, writes things like SLUT and CUNTBITCH across them, then draws MS Paint dicks and cum splatter on their faces. He's the guy who puts gigantic PEREZHILTON.COM watermarks across photos he Google image searched for like the rest of us and puts them at the top of his blog posts running down someone's face, religion, clothing, whatever. He's one of the most awful, regressive people online and using him to promote social kindness is like putting f**king Guy Fieri in charge of the ASPCA. That monster's gonna put the first puppy he sees in a kaiser roll and smother it with thousand island dressing and you f**king know it.
I refuse to believe that in a PRO WRESTLING company, a sport-entertainment that draws some of the most troubled, socially-iffy people in the world (as both fans and employees), you have to go find goddamn JAMES DURBIN to get a story about being made fun of. Why not let Stephanie do one where she explains how she got a boob job because wrestling fans were making fun of her "saggy tits"? Why not let Vince do one about all the horrible shit that happened to him in his childhood? Alicia Fox being called "a boy" is not the worst thing you've got.
Worst: AJ/Vickie Guerrero Is The Exact Opposite Of Kane And Daniel Bryan Hugging It Out
I was on such a positivity kick, I hate to have to write about this now. I'll keep it short.
I discussed this with Destiny as we were watching it, but for the majority of the segment, Vickie is in the right. Previously she'd demanded her problems be addressed (since it's been established that AJ doesn't answer GM questions, responds to offers of help by putting people in dangerous matches and doesn't know who her employees are) without taunting of physicality, and while a lot of it was built on past grudges, none of it necessitated AJ beating the crap out of her and sending her running. Vickie demanded an apology, which the WWE board of directors agreed with. AJ "apologized" without even looking at Vickie, Vickie didn't think that was good enough, and she was right. AJ, like she's been since taking over as GM, was being insincere and condescending.
When Vickie strikes AJ, that's when the balance shifts. Vickie's no long in the right, and AJ should have every right to f**king light her up. Vickie taunts her because she's the GM and can't hit an employee, and AJ just kinda takes it and freaks out as Vickie leaves laughing. Hey AJ, you're the F**KING GENERAL MANAGER OF RAW. If you apologize like the Board of Directors asks and Vickie SLAPS you, FIRE HER. You can just fire the shit out of her. If you want, fire her and beat her up as much as you want. In pro wrestling legal terms, if someone gets in the ring with you you can do anything you want to them. Fire her, beat her up and rehire her if you want. It's your show.
As it stands, everyone looks weird and nothing makes sense. AJ's made it personal, but she won't be fired like everyone before her. Vickie struck the GM, but she's not gonna get taken out in handcuffs like Austin did. It's whatever's convenient for the story they're telling right now. It's stupid, and pantsuit AJ makes me so mad I could put a ball of paper in a wastepaper basket and kill it with fire from Hell.
The only real plus to the segment was Vickie "Eastwooding", and even that was too brief to enjoy. Sigh.
Worst: Why Are John Cena Falls Count Anywhere Matches Always So Dumb?
During normal wrestling matches, John Cena has to do the Attitude Adjustment onto a ring canvas, which still hurts ("hurts") but has some give. It's usually enough to put away his opponents. In Falls Count Anywhere matches the fall counts anywhere, so John usually likes to walk his opponent out to a convoluted automobile set-up somewhere and Attitudinally Adjust them into/onto it. He'll stand beside a car and AA you onto the hood, or he'll stand by some production crates and AA you onto them. Usually what results is you falling less of a distance than you would in a normal Attitude Adjustment, landing on something that might hurt, but not so much more than a wrestling ring. A hood of a car isn't a bed of nails, for instance.
What cracks me up is that John doesn't think to do the Attitude Adjustment onto, I don't know, the f**king CONCRETE FLOOR he's walking on, or the metal stage, or the corner of a walkway or a flight of steps or UNDER a car which he can then use to DRIVE OVER said person because FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE. All you're doing is picking up a guy and dropping him, if you have carte blanche to do it anywhere, DO IT ANYWHERE. You aren't trying to set up the Pepsi Plunge. You could've paralyzed Alberto Del Rio like 60 times before you got back to that 5-foot-tall plateau of crates.
Also, the only way anybody's ever gotten out of your STF is by reaching the ropes. Why not just toss a guy to the outside, immediately put him in the STF and win in seconds? Your life makes little to no sense to me. You're like one of those people in Cube, aren't you? It makes sense to just crawl to the next room, but something's convinced you you'll be murdered by lasers.
Best: WHERE TO, STEPHANIE
Paul Heyman showing up as CLANDESTINE RENTAL CAR DRIVER was wonderful. The best part is WWE babyface enthusiasts pulling the WHAT CONNECTION DO THESE MEN HAVE when they started liking Punk during his criss-cross applesauce manifesto, a manifesto involving the phrase "I'm a Paul Heyman Guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar". Maye that's the connection, nerds.
Paul Heyman finally being associated with a wrestler who won't suddenly leave is a wonderful, wonderful thing, and I look forward to Punk finally having someone do promos for him so he can actually be hated for stuff.
Also, if Cena gets put into a tables match against Rhyno next week, I'll mark. Not gonna front.

Adding Helm repeater to RL70 Radar
On our boat the PO installed a Raymarine RL70 monochrome radar with the display below at the backward facing nav station. It works perfectly, but is difficult to use due to the need to go below and reorient yourself to interpret it. I recently purchased on e-bay another RL70 display, and I hope to be able to hook it up with the existing RL70 to make a helm display. The second display came with no wires or instructions, but I consulted the manual for the existing RL70 and it says a repeater can be used with it. Has anyone actually hooked up such a repeater, and what wires, power hook up,etc. will I need?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
RL70 info....
You can go to the Raymairne Web Site and download the manual.

As magicians, we all carry a Sharpie Marker, but other than using it to sign cards, it does nothing. Now you can turn that wasted space into a powerful new effect. Remarkable is an effect that is always on you because IT IS PART OF YOUR SHARPIE MARKER.
Why just carry a marker be REMARKABLE instead!

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 17th, 2014
I'll be honest with you. The effect is GREAT! I've blown several people away with this one and the reactions are unlike many of my other effects, especially those with cards. The idea that a selected card later appears in written format on the side of a sharpie is truly Mind-Blowing!3 of 3 magicians found this helpful.
You start clean and you can end clean.
The DVD is straight and to the point.
There are a few different routines and even room for your own creativity.
If you were to think about it critically you could pull it off with a borrowed sharpie.
You will most likely get the reactions that Sanders gets in the trailer.
The sharpie writes like all other sharpies.
Double or single reveal.
When I originally unboxed the effect I was a little disappointed when I realized how simple the effect really is.
Some slight of hand is needed.
Your clothes are not dependent on this effect, but you might want to give some thought to what you wear so you can store the sharpie in an easily accessible pocket.
You can only change the logo from Sharpie to the first selected card, then from the first selected card to a second selected card.
I really like this effect, my only wish was that it gave more options for the sharpie logo to change other than twice. Regardless it is totally worth the money paid. Because of this effect I have highly considered Richard Sander's other work. This product is high quality and easy to learn. I highly recommend it for intermediate and professional magicians.

I like it, it's easy to do and it's different. I've even done it in they're hand (I asked them to sign the card, then I said "We mareked the card with the marker now I'm going to mark the marker with the card." I made believe I invisibly throw the the card and told them to look at the marker, and I got a great reaction.2 of 2 magicians found this helpful.
Remarkable is Magnificent Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 7th, 2014
I've bought a lot of stuff from Penguin and I think that this is one of the best things I've ever put my hands on. After watching the DVD, (which is top notch I might add), and a little practice this became the strongest piece of close-up/walk around magic in my routine. It packs small and plays big; to put it plainly, with this effect I've absolutely melted people's minds and it seems to be the thing they remember.
Not to mention, since you are performing with a Sharpie, (an everyday object and something seemingly all magicians have on them), it ends nearly completely clean. *I'll stop there and let you find out the rest on your own :)
Richard Sanders is one of my favorite magicians thanks to his work on this! It's fantastic!
P.S. don't do what I did and misplace the contents that come along with the DVD. Needless to say, I will be purchasing this for a second time in the near future. It was that valuable to my routine and I absolutely love the effect.
Best Gimmicks I have Seen - REMARKABLE Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 18th, 2014
This is one of those rare Finds, BUY THIS !!! let me tell you why. The GIMMICKS are made by the Manufacturer. It is very rare that the manufacturer gets on board and produces such items. THE FACTS: DVD teaching, lighting and sound real good. The Props / Gimmicks are FANTASTIC !!!! I don't care for Mr. Sanders Routine, I made up my own and if you at all creative you could do the same. His routine is good and not too hard to master. My routine is KILLER, However I should point out I WASTE TWO PLAYING CARDS in my routine. For me that's not a problem, I do canned card in my kids show and go thru lots of cards. The reason I gave it 4 stars
is because I don't like his routine, otherwise its a GREAT PRODUCT. BUY TWO SETS !!! you know the rule in magic if you like something BUY TWO , because you may not be able to get your hands on this again and I am pretty sure there will be a limited run on this item. Skill level w/ his routine is ADVANCED BEGINNER, the reason I say that is because there is one basic slight ( you don't need to do) and a small amount of audience management. My routine requires more audience management , Two spectators and a bold switch. Mr. Sanders has a WINNER w/ this one !!!
Terrific Trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 2nd, 2014
I think that this is a great closer if you are able to do it correctly. He teaches it well and helps you through each step, the only thing missing in my opinion is a sharpie. SO HAVE THEM WRITE THEIR NAME ON THEIR CARDS! Then I thought about that and figured that I only had those 2 cards and thought, well there goes that. That's the only thing missing from this effect, other than that it is great.
Great Impromptu Effect Report this review

If you are looking for a novel effect with cards that goes beyond being a card trick, this is it. I suggest it for intermediate and above, but beginners should also be able to master it with some work.
awesome! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 17th, 2014
The trick seems kind of expensive for a sharpie but this is worth it. If you love a trick that fits in your pocket easily, this one is for you. I always carry sharpies with me now just because they are so versatile. I absolutely love the delayed reaction that the trick gets. When I do this, it usually takes a couple seconds for my audience to realize anything even happened but when they do, their minds are blown.

i literally watched this dvd in like 40 minutes. and i started practicing this trick. 2 hours later, i started performing this effect on the streets. amazing reactions. i highly recommend this effect. richards sanders has some great visual tricks just like extreme burn 2.0
Awesome. Simply awesome. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 6th, 2014
I was a little disappointed at first with the whole method once I learned the secret but I've done the trick maybe 50-60 times and not once has anyone spotted anything or asked questions.
Everything about the trick is thoroughly covered by Richard, and the second routine is deadly!
He even explains how to change out the barrel of a sharpie so you never have to buy the trick again.
I cannot explain the joy I get (and you will get) when a grown man Is shaking a pen trying to get it the logo to change.
Buy this trick.

Rights by Lydia Morris
Book DescriptionThis pioneering book demonstrates how different traditions of sociological thought can contribute to an understanding of the theory and practice of rights. It provides a sociological treatment of a wide range of substantive issues but never loses sight of the key theoretical questions. It: * considers some varied cases of public intervention, including welfare, caring, mental health provisions, pensions, justice and free speech alongside the rights issues they raise * examines the question of rights from the point of view of distinctive population groups, such as prisoners and victims, women, ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples and lesbians and gays. A key strength is its detailed presentation and analysis of different aspects of rights and its exploration of a variety of analytical perspectives. Rights are viewed, not in terms of ethical certainty, but as the product of social processes and part of shifting terrain which is open to negotiation. Including a theoretical critique of existing perspectives, Rights offers a diverse and detailed exploration of the contribution sociological thought can make to this increasingly important aspect of social life and is an invaluable aid to students studying in this area.

America's first suspected case of BSE, or mad cow disease, has been discovered on a farm in Washington State.
The impact was evident almost immediately as several countries, including Japan, South Korea, Australia and Taiwan, halted US beef imports just hours after the Agriculture Department announced that a cow at a farm near Yakima, Washington, had tested positive for the brain-wasting disease. Japan is the largest overseas market for US beef.
Agriculture Department officials and cattle industry executives tried to allay fears that American beef supplies had become infected, saying the US inspection system was working effectively.
The farm where the cow originated has been quarantined and officials are tracing the movement of the cow from the farm to the slaughterhouse, and the flow of the meat to three processing plants in Washington state.
"We remain confident in the safety of our food supply," Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said, adding that the risk to human health was "extremely low."
Nonetheless, US beef producers worried that they could suffer heavily from a mad cow scare. Restaurants that serve beef also could be affected.
"I think it has the potential to hurt our industry," said Jim Olson, a rancher in Stanfield, Arizona, who owns about 150 cattle.
Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports magazine, called on the government to test more cows for the disease, formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
"The US needs to be far more proactive in protecting the American food supply. We are very concerned that the diseased animal made it into the food supply and that the processing plants could be contaminated," said Michael Hansen, a senior research associate.
The disease was found in a Holstein cow which tested preliminarily positive on 9 December. Samples from the cow were sent to Britain for confirmation of the preliminary mad cow finding, Ms Veneman said. The results will be known in three to five days, she added.
The apparent discovery of mad cow disease comes at a time when the US beef industry is flourishing, in part because imports from Canada dried up after a single case of the disease was found there last spring.
"The beef cattle industry has just had a resurgence of growth. This is going to be a setback," said Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Thad Cochran.
Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said that while whole cuts of meat should be safe, there could be problems with ground meat, which can be mechanically stripped from the bone near an infected part.
"USDA needs to take swift action to insure that the meat that is found in hot dogs, hamburgers and those others doesn't pose a risk," she said.
The beef industry said there was nothing to worry about.
"The infectious agent is only found in the central nervous system tissue," said Patti Brumbach, executive director of the Washington State Beef Commission. "None of that made it into the beef supply. I think once consumers understand that the beef supply is safe, it should be a short-term concern."
BSE eats holes in the brains of cattle. It emerged in Britain in 1986 and spread through countries in Europe and Asia, prompting massive destruction of herds and decimating the European beef industry.
People can contract a form of mad cow disease if they eat infected beef or nerve tissue, and possibly through blood transfusions. The human form of mad cow disease has killed 143 people in Britain and 10 elsewhere, but none in the United States.Reuse content

Agencies must assess their procedures for safeguarding classified information by the end of the month.
The Office of Management and Budget is requiring that these analyses include everything from how agencies properly label confidential information to detailed evaluations of automated data systems.

Some feds miss out on pay raise as salary compression worsens
OMB Director Jacob Lew issued a memo Monday. This follows a Nov. 28 order that agencies establish teams to evaluate their security, counterintelligence and information protocols. In this latest directive, OMB wants agencies to focus on automated systems.
OMB wants the initial assessment, due Jan. 28, to build on existing requirements that agencies have ongoing self inspection programs. Agencies must look for weaknesses in automated systems, respond to questions in eight target areas, assess plans for system changes and upgrades and evaluate department security documents and protocol.
The security reviews reflect administration fears following the WikiLeaks release in which Army Private First Class Bradley Manning allegedly downloaded large caches of sensitive military material from Army computers and released it to the Internet watchdog group WikiLeaks.
As part of the assessment, the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) and the National Counterintelligence Executive within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) formulated is a list of questions around eight areas:
Following submission of the assessments, ISOO and ODNI officials will assist agencies with security measures when necessary and conduct onsite valuations to ensure compliance.

Legislation authorizing up to six casinos in western New York and the Catskill Mountains and video slot machines at horse racing tracks was upheld yesterday by a state judge. Only one of the six casinos has been opened -- by the Seneca Indian Nation in Niagara Falls -- and none of the electronic slot machines have been activated. In his 11-page ruling, Justice Joseph Teresi of State Supreme Court said that earlier federal court rulings that ''must be upheld'' made it clear that Indian-run casinos were allowed under terms of federal law even though the State Constitution prohibits casino gambling.Continue reading the main story
