And for now, that's a pretty good comparison considering all that Woodson has accomplished in his career.
The former Michigan great, who starred for the Wolverines from 1995-97, resume is nearly finished as he enters his 17th season in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders. His list of accolades includes winning 1997 Heisman, being named a All-Pro multiple times, 2009 NFL Defensive player of the year award and winning a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers, among others.
So, yeah, he's done a few things on the football field.
During Michigan's annual spring game held in April, Woodson had a chance to meet Peppers, and after their chat, he said he expects big things from the Paramus (N.J.) Catholic standout.
"You could just see the confidence spilling out of this guy's pores," Woodson said on his meeting with Peppers. "It was exciting for just to get chance share a little bit with him and meet with him. I'm looking for big things out of him. I really am. This is the guy, like I said, who has all the confidence in the world. And we need a guy like that on Michigan's team. I'm looking for him to come in there and make plays and get it done."
Woodson, who dealt with his own high expectations while at Michigan, says he doesn't think Peppers will succumb to the pressure of being a highly regarded player for the Wolverines.
"A guy who already sees himself as a guy who is going to great," Woodson said on Peppers, "anything that other people think about him is below what he feels of himself. So there (isn't) no pressure, when you know you can play and god willing you don't have any injuries, you go out here and just get it done."
Peppers career starts on Aug. 30, when Michigan opens its season versus Appalachian State.

October 2015
We booked a small group tour but because nobody else showed up, the four of us friends enjoyed a private tour with our guide, Marta. We weren't that interested in the winery so we spent the entire day in Toledo instead. The gastronomic lunch of roast lamb was excellent. Toledo deserves a full day. The Cathedral is spectacular and the views stunning. Marta spoke beautiful English, was knowledgeable, funny and a pleasure to be with. She made the day special.
September 2015
The guide was great, I wish the small group would have been less than 15 pp not 20 pp. the tour was great wish I had done full day in Toledo as there is so much see and do. Include the zip line across the river would have been great
August 2015
Excellent tour!
August 2015
We were extremely fortunate because we were the only ones who showed up for this small group tour, so we ended up with a private tour. Our guide, Marta, was wonderful. So smart, passionate and informative and we learned so much about the history of this interesting Spanish city. We also really enjoyed the visit to the vineyard/winery and the accompanying wine tasting. I highly recommend this tour which I think would've been equally as good if there were a few other people in the group.
August 2015
Small English speaking only group of 14 traveling in small coach was extremely comfortable. Our guide Jorge did a great job providing a historical background of the Lamancha region and Toledo in particular. Walking Toledo was a little challenging in 100 degree F heat, but guide was patiently accommodating to the group's speed. Despite the weather, Toledo was very interesting and the interior of the Cathedral must not be missed. In my opinion, equally spectacular as St. Peter's in Rome. Did lunch on our own at Scorpion Bar/Grill. Much cheaper than lunch option and food was wonderful. Our teen regrets not doing the zipline across the river, something to consider for others. Wine tasting was basic vineyard tour followed by 3 wine tastings and opportunity to purchase. Tour was nice finish to the day and did not limit what we needed to see in Toledo. Highly recommend.

Great tour - the guide was wonderful, informative....small group, winetasting....couldn't have been better.

The world of online gaming has become a booming industry, and like most other industries, online gaming attracts participants from all over the world. Participants who want to come to the U.S. to play and compete in online tournaments need visas. Many online gamers, or players of "eSports," as it is called, have come to the U.S. to compete in gaming tournaments. Typically, these players enter with B-1 business visitor visas, which allows them to compete in a single tournament and take home their winnings. However, a B-1 does not allow a player to earn a salary in the U.S.
Danny Le of Canada ran into this very problem. As one of the world's top League of Legends players, he needed a visa to be able to practice and compete with his team in the U.S. tournament of the international League of Legends championship, a broadcast tournament that gleans over 1.7 million viewers. Le, with the help of his immigration attorney, applied for a P-1 visa, and was approved.
The P-1 visa is typically granted to professional baseball players, soccer players, and other pro athletes. Le's visa was granted because he was able to demonstrate that, like any other athlete, he was "internationally recognized" for his success playing League of Legends.

Blackberry 9650 ringer
Sounds icon top left corner of screen -- the (active) will indicate whether you inadvertently set it to vibrate or silent mode. If so, just click on normal (or loud or medium as you wish) to restore sound.
If this isn't the cause: Sounds; scroll down without clicking to edit profiles, choose the profile you had set to be active + see whether the settings match (ie ringer volume isn't 0; default ringer is the one you want). Make any necessary changes + be aware that If you recently installed an app + gave it trusted status / or didn't give it trusted status but did allow device settings, this might be the cause of changes to your sound profile.. So once you reset the ringers/ alarms to what you want, go into options, choose applications, open the new app options, menu expand, set 'device settings' permission to deny, restart phone, don't allow it when phone restarts + app asks for the permission - (this may or may not disable the app for now), but will allow you to figure out whether it is the culprit. If it continues with this apps permission disabled, maybe its another app! Read/ Post on forums of apps you recently installed (here + on app sites if applicable). When you have figured it out can choose to contact app creator/ choose alternate app to do same thing, try other solutions you may discover within forum discussions re that particular app. Probably will need to remove offending app if it is dysfunctional w device settings disabled. This happened to me once after installing drivesafe.ly pro when blackberry offered it as a free giveaway - + there was a discussion on here at the time in the apps>drivesafe.ly forum. No idea whether it remains an issue all these months later; I removed drivesafe.ly + forgot about it.
Good luck!

Thanks for the response, much appreciated. I have tried all of the above. I have no other apps on this phone just the standard apps. The problem began after the phone got some moisture behind the screen in a high humidity situation. It appears to have dried out now and the phone works normally otherwise, but it does not appear to respond to the mute button on the right hand top of the phone. This is a phone I purchased on E bay unlocked from Verizon

A study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that avoidance of estrogen hormonal therapy was a possible factor in the deaths of almost 50,000 women who had hysterectomies and experienced menopausal symptoms over the past decade. Researchers analyzed U.S. Census data and found that the use of hormone therapy fell significantly after the publication of the 2002 U.S. Women's Health Initiative Study, which linked estrogen-progestin combination therapy to higher risk of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke and blood clots. "Sadly, the media, women, and health care providers did not appreciate the difference between [estrogen-only and estrogen-plus-progestin] hormone therapy," said health expert Dr. Philip Sarrel.

As presented by theatre director Jonathan Munby, ETO's Don Giovanni was a very uneven affair, whose saving graces were Julia Sporsen's gorgeously sung Donna Anna, Ilona Domnich's subtle Zerlina, and the music under Michael Rosewell's assured baton.
Things started badly with a pointless dumb-show from Jonathan Gunthorpe's Leporello, who went on to bore us rigid. Roland Wood sang with ringing authority as Don Giovanni, but his Essex-boy meanness totally prevented him cutting it as a seducer. And I've never seen the Don's descent into hell so completely stripped of mystery.

THis product has really helped my ADHD husband. He remembers better, does not forget as often. I would recommend anyone try it!
Posted by Reviewer2189233 on Jul 09, 2007
High performance for the price. takes a few weeks for the steriodal effect to kick in, but the impact on the brain's organizational talent is rapid. also much more comprehensive brain tonic that plain old ginko.
Subtle, but Noticable Results
Posted by Reviewer1310225 on Dec 16, 2012
Bought this product for my Son, after reading all the glowing and raving reviews of on all supplement selling websites. The product worked in a sense that my Son no is no longer unable to maintain eye contact, now he does, and he listens and responds. Before he was to hyperactive, never listened, and had some mild sleep trouble. Now he does not have sleep trouble no more and for the first time in years, he actually sleeps through the night without having to wake up. He also does not try to annoy or upset his brother needlessly as he used to do before. However, the effects stopped at that. He still has his temper tantrums, which did not go away, and he is still upset and cries more often. I am still glad that his sleep has been fixed and that he listens more. Perhaps more benefits will in shaa ALLAH accrue long-term. In my opinion, four stars rating is adequate at this stage.
Was skeptical
Posted by Reviewer2706846 on Oct 21, 2007
I was skeptical. I didn't notice any effect initially. But after a few weeks, I noticed that I was consistently having good, productive days at work. As a test, when I finished the first bottle, I stopped for a few weeks. I noticed that I was (by comparison), less productive at work. When I started up with the second bottle, I quickly saw the benefits again. I'm convinded: it works for me.
Effective Product
Posted by jdventures on Oct 29, 2009
This is my 4th bottle of this product and I do not plan to be without it again. Helps to keep a mental edge under stress and provides a feeling of general well being.
I use it for sleep
Posted by Reviewer1331472 on Aug 17, 2010
This product helps me sleep. Bacopa, gotu kola, and a few of the other included ingredients in this formula have been studied with regard to cognitive performance: the results are generally mildly to moderately favorable, but often inconclusive. I've been told that Bacopa requires about 12 weeks to take effect - I've been taking this formula for longer than that, and while I believe it has helped me, I'm not sure that my mental performance has improved.

This is my second order of this product. I do seem to be remembering more easily and naturally. I take this at bedtime; it has a restful quality to it. Will continue for a while to get a better sense of it's real effect.

The minimum size required to render an intelligible character is 8px.
All I see is a dot in 2003010512 OS/2 trunk.
do you have a minimal font size set in font prefs?

Oops. Busted testcase. Please ignore previous comments.

Platform: MOzilla 1.2.1 on Windows 2000.
worksforme on Linux (this morning's trunk nightly). Looks like this is a
windows-specific problem (not a problem on Linux or OS/2).
Not a blocker, unless you can show some top site that we've regressed on.
If I recall the CSS1 (rev 1) spec correctly, decimal values can be "rounded" to
a value which the UA can display, a px refers to a pixel, which in all respects
is "sopposed" to be (of course correct me if I am wrong) the smallest
displayable point on a screen..
where if you round .4px it would be 0px, even if 1px was displayable (for a
letter) it would make sense that it would "dissapear" since I don't know anyone
who could even attempt to make it out.
However, we are ignoring the declaration completely at the moment.
I don't think we are...
Dupe of Bug 53995 ?
Seems to be fixed in Firefox 4.

This review is from: Belkin NetCam HD+ Wi-Fi Camera with Glass Lens and Night Vision
Pros: It looks like a nice camera on paper.
Cons: I received this camera several weeks ago. The setup steps are not clear from the manual or the app, and it would never finish the setup either on my phone or my wife's phone. They sent a replacement for it, but it had the same problems and then stopped working completely. While it was supposedly a refurbished phone, the power supply was dirty and the phone had smudges and dried-on food on it when I opened the box. It looks as if the "refurbishing" process involved receiving a bad phone and shipping it right out to someone else. I'm waiting now for an RMA so I can send both of them back.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: BT interphone Bluetooth Motorbike Motorcycle helmet intercom Headset 500M
Pros: It's a nice design, easily installed and easy to use.
Cons: First of all, it came with a charger that has a European plug which won't fit American outlets. Additionally, the listing here didn't make it clear that this is only one headset and you must buy two of them to have one for your passenger. Most of the units I've seen are packaged as pairs, and I assumed this would be the case as well. Instead, I've got half of an intercom.READ FULL REVIEW

Because I promised you two columns this week, enjoy the Best And Worst Of WWE Raw for June 18, 2012. A single tear.
Worst: Mick Foley Is Great, But Not Interesting
… with a smaller, less professional Worst for that angle they shot from as he was walking to the ring. I thought, "Jesus, what happened to Mick?" and then they moved the camera up and stopped framing him to look like Mark Henry's back.
I think I wrote about this at length the last time Mick was on Raw, but he just doesn't seem special anymore. He's a legitimately awesome guy, one of my favorite wrestlers ever, the sport's greatest feminist and a welcomed addition to any pro wrestling show, but at some point his legendary status as "cool guy who did dangerous shit back in the day" morphed into "one of the old guys from TNA" so he's actually got to be doing something special for me to see him that way. Rowdy Roddy Piper is very similar. These guys can still really contribute to your show, you don't need to cart them out every four months for a "heh, remember this guy" Sgt. Slaughter thing.
It also doesn't help that Commissioner Foley was the worst ever version of Mick, and that includes the Abyss Disappointing TNA Mick and the Lost In Cleveland amnesia version "Swampy" sees. If we're bringing back past GMs, bring back William Regal next and let him stay forever.
Worst: Tonight On Raw, A Main Eventers Tag Match And A Handicap John Cena Thing!
Raw had a lost of Bests, so I feel bad starting it off with two straight Worsts, but building the show around four unrelated main eventers tagging against each other, booking multiple "wrestler wanders away from the ring" endings and main-eventing a John Cena handicap match that ends with him winning and humiliating an old non-wrestler is the most obvious, predictable, lazy Raw outline ever. It's what I'd write if I was making a joke about the obvious things I'd see on Raw. That's a first draft, not what should end up on screen. Wrestling has hundreds and hundreds of predictable stories and moments that work, you don't always have to go for the same five.
Kayfabe suggestion for WWE: Instead of bringing back all the old authority figures, bring in somebody new who thinks impromptu tag matches and battles royal for title shots are dumb and see what they come up with. CM Punk likes to complain about John Laurinaitis not being creative, let's see what he'd do with a Raw. Worst case scenario, we get one of those Randy Orton lingerie fashion shows. Best case scenario, we get to see Ryback ryback Colt Cabana and Ace Steel.Subscribe to UPROXX
Best: Blockbuster Tag Matches Are Great, But Not Interesting
So like I said, the concept is tired, but it's hard to not enjoy a tag team match involving Best In The World CM Punk, Actual Best In The World Daniel Bryan, Worker Boots Kane and perfectly acceptable World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus. Tag team matches are an easy way to build momentum, and when you put a bunch of guys who can go into them, they can really get going.
I've watched so many Raws now and written about them so much that sometimes I start to drift away in the middle of these. I think I played a round of Scramble With Friends for absolutely no reason about three minutes in. That's my fault, though, because I am a Stupid Dummy with capital letters for not celebrating the first 30 minutes of Raw having 15-ish minutes of Daniel Bryan chinlocks and superplexes in it. This was good, and the kind of thing I'll find tape of on Thursday afternoon or whatever and really love. More wrestling, please!
Best: "AJ Is Just Like Harley Quinn!" – Everybody
Near the end of the match, AJ skips down the ramp in a f**king Kane mask and some red and black yoga pants and the UPROXX commenting system explodes because that is the exact thing we joked about happening. "AJ should come out dressed like Kane!" we'd say, holding in a deep laugh and downing a 32-ounce Mountain Dew in a Miz 7-11 cup. "We know how to run the wrestling!" And then it happens, and we're all OH GOD and start frantically digging through our air vents like Jesse Bradford in Hackers.
But yeah, this happened. This really happened. Maybe next we can get a backstage segment where AJ announces she's vegan, then bites into the face of a living goat.
I don't know if AJ's yearly bonus is going to be a card with "several years of employment" written on it, but she's knocking this story out of the park and leaving everything she's got in the ring, or in a weird path around it. I've never been able to settle on whether or not I like where she's gone, and I think that inability to focus on a judgment is the biggest compliment I can give her. She's making something interesting, when by all accounts it should've been dismissively wanked away as a worst last month.
If only we could get her in matches against other Divas and remember that Crazy Chick™ is a wrestler description and not a category on OK Cupid, we'd be set.
Best: Combo Finishers
Combo finishes are great, and the kind of thing you try to do with guys in video games before you realize the hit detection is wonky and interrupting the final 0.5 seconds of the Go To Sleep animation with a Brogue Kick just registers as "breaking it up". WWE Super Tag Teams in main event impromptu tags should be built around how cool their finishes would look together.
The Go To Sleep into the Brogue Kick was great, and convinced even the biggest Daniel Bryan fan (me) that he was dunzo. I want to see more of this. I want to see Daniel Bryan put a guy into the YES Lock only for Ryback to pick them both up and Muscle Bust them. I want to see The Rock and R-Truth do their finishers to a guy at the same time, leading to a triple knockout.
Best: Swaggler Explodes
Watching Raw with my girlfriend always puts things into perspective. Her two biggest observations from last night (before she got bored and wandered away):
1. Kane should pay attention to his matches and stop wandering away and falling in love every time anything happens
2. On Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger arguing: "This is terrible."
And it is (and Kane should), so while the argument segment gets a Best for Jack Swagger calling Vickie Guerrero a saint, it's important to remember that the whole thing was pretty terrible. Why are they arguing in the hallway? Why are they standing shoulder to shoulder? Why is a camera man filming this?
The match itself gets a big Best, though, as it was my favorite of the night. Dolph Ziggler wrestling as a good guy is weird and kind of a revelation, because he's able to do his exaggerated bumping and Evan Bourne Family Guy death sells and look like he's really being killed, so it's easy for an audience of 10,000 people to all pick up on the same story and cheer for the same thing. Telling a story to an audience that big is a really under-appreciated aspect of big leagues wrestling, one I started picking up on watching Bushwhacker Luke wrestle in Ring Of Honor years ago. Guys like Kenny King are wrestling for the 20 people in the front row, but Luke is overdoing everything so the people in the very back (of a much bigger venue) can follow along.
Ultimate Babyface Dolph Ziggler could be something special if they
1. Don't change his hair, ever
2. Give him back I Am Perfection, because f**k you for changing it in the first place
3. Don't ever let him insult another wrestler on behalf of the WWE Universe
4. Ass roll
What the hell happened to the ass roll?
Best: Paul Heyman Verbally Rybacking Triple H
Oh man, Paul Heyman responding to Triple H by laughing in his face and more or less saying "derp derp" was the most glorious thing ever. Inappropriate Ponytail Theater is a hard thing for me to find joy in (especially with a ponytail as inappropriate as Paul Heyman's), but he avoided Kitten Pictures and Hayley Williams Gifs territory by saying what needed to be said: No, Brock Lesnar isn't going to be goaded into dropping a lawsuit because Triple H challenged him to a fight, no, he's not going to drop HIS lawsuit against Triple H because one of his clients got challenged to a fight, and Triple H is a stupid bully who just starts strangling and punching people every time he doesn't get his way.
Which led directly to:
Worst: Triple H Has No Point, Should Have No Job
Honestly, when did Triple H convince himself that he was Stone Cold Steve Austin? His point about never wanting the C.O.O. position and having it thrust upon him is Big Bullshit when you remember the last, I don't know, 13 years of Triple H's character being THE CEREBRAL ASSASSIN, the guy who would pretend to rape and drunk-marry the boss's daughter to help her weed him out of power. The guy who had the line "yo the years went by with your lies/the marks, the suits, McMahon" in his entrance theme. The guy who has "it's all about The Game and how you play it" NOW. That guy. The one who can't finish a sentence without shoehorning THIS BUSINESS into it. "I'd like a #4 please, because I have always ordered a #4 FROM THIS BUSINESS" etc.
It was weird listening to Cole and Lawler guffaw under their breath about how Triple H had outsmarted the dastardly Paul Heyman, when for all intents and purposes he should be f**ked. That punch to Heyman should be the end of Triple H's job. Heyman isn't a WWE employee, and as weird as it was for John Cena to assault John Laurinaitis after he was fired, it was weirder seeing Triple H's grand chess move be "this guy's suing you and your company for putting your hands on him? PUNCH HIM". The Board Of Directors has already fired two other guys for making things personal, and here's Triple H having never done a single thing impersonally since becoming C.O.O. If Zack Ryder asked him for a raise he'd get thrown through a window and challenged to a Three Stages Of Hell match at Night Of Champions.
Heyman showing up and sticking around in the ring when he should just bail makes sense, because he's an Ambulance Chaser who knows if he pushes H's buttons he'll get punched out on national television in front of millions of witnesses. H is just coming across as the dumbest, most aggressive jock ever and there's no imaginable reason to cheer for him besides "Triple H is cool I like him".
Blergh. Here.
Best: Alberto Del Rio Actually Rybacking Santino
"Alberto Del Rio is not medically cleared to compete for the WWE Championship at No Way Out, but he's TOTALLY FINE to have a non-title match the next night!" – the same doctors who haven't wellness'd Mason Ryan 75 times by now
Anyway, watching Del Rio "young boy" Santino around the ring for a minute and a half is usually my favorite part of Raw. I'm happy to have him back, especially when he's calmly avoiding diving headbutts that would make him look stupid and locking on an armbreaker for a victory he could've gotten by staring hard enough. There are a lot of little Worsts here — WWE getting into shifty TNA concussion storytelling, the United States Champion being squashed by a guy with no interest in his worthless belt — but ADR should always be considered top shelf and shouldn't be going back and forth with guys like this like he's the f**king Miz. He should grab them by the arm, murder them, and move on.
Best: Ricardo's Cowardly Revenge
Just to recap, Santino Marella spent the last month beating up a ring announcer, culminating in a match at the pay-per-view where he stripped him to his underwear. Alberto Del Rio shows up to defend the honor of his friend and cleanly, decisively beats Santino in a one-on-one match. Why should I be cheering for Santino and not Del Rio again?
Ricardo waiting until Santino was thoroughly beaten up to pounce, attack his arm and make threatening Bro Gestures was great, because Ricardo is a goofy little coward who should be getting booed. I guess the only problem is that he can't get his comeuppance, because all he's ever GOTTEN is comeuppance. So this is like… reverse comeuppance? Inverted comeuppance. I don't know the terminology. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this is the first time in a while Ricardo's actually given us a reason to want to see him beaten up, assuming "he's Mexican" and "he's got on gay clothes" don't do it for you.
Worst: Here Are Some Important People From Our Company's History, Let's Take A Huge Shit All Over It
I'm not sure why this segment existed.
In theory, it existed to bring out Cyndi Lauper (who looked great as always, and a little like Greg The Hammer Valentine) and Wendi Richter (WWE's "Wendi Richter") to celebrate an important time and series of moments in WWE history, to sell a few Cyndi Lauper MP3s in the process and continue Heath Slater's Legend Killer (where the legend is the killer) Tour. Bringing out Piper makes sense, and allows you to bring closure to one of the great mysteries of pro wrestling lore — why Rowdy Roddy Piper never bashed in Cyndi Lauper's head with a fire extinguisher.
In practice, you brought out a couple of people who are uncomfortable in a wrestling ring, had your terrible ring announcer do his Terrible Ring Announcing thing all over it (even during the important parts, like when they were trying to pay tribute to Captain Lou Albano), bring out a guy who gets no crowd reaction because you've never portrayed him as anything but the Wendy's looking henchman who sounds weird and gets emasculated by celebrites, and cap that off by bringing out a commonly-appearing legend simply to rag about how old he is nonstop. The only guy who'll be there next week gets beaten up, nothing is celebrated and nobody looks good. I don't know why it existed, unless that gothic image of Vince in headphones in a dimly-lit room yelling shit like CALL HIM PATHETIC DAMMIT is true and not a way for the Internet to justify WWE's occasional abyss-staring blackness.
At least bring out Cowboy Bob to hammerblow Wendi in the back of the head with his cast one good time.
Best: Baaaaa aaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaand
Poor Heath Slater left the ring looking like the least important wrestler of all time, but to esoteric nerds like me he became a folk hero. Ignoring pretty girls in Halloween costumes it was the most memorable moment of the show, and my favorite. I've been singing Heath Slater's hit single all night long and for most of the day, and it works because it doesn't really have lyrics. You can make it about anything. "I'm the one man baaaaa aaaaaa aaaaand, one man baaaaa aaaaa aaaaand. I like saaaaa aaaaa aaaaand, because I'm baaaaa aaaaaa aaaaanned" or whatever. Just throw a shitload of AAAAA into the middle of something.
I honestly think Slater should get whoever does the themes these days to put a few WWE Network wubwubwubs behind the song and use it for his entrance. He could start calling his finisher "The Drop". I also think they should make it available as a ringtone with one of those Jeff Jarrett country beats behind it.
Worst: Cyndi Lauper As Masada
At some point during the day you'd have thought Jerry Lawler would pull Cyndi aside and say "hey, I know you've never smashed a gold record over somebody's head before, but hit them with the paper side first, that way they won't get a bunch of glass in their face, this is all pretend we don't want to blind and kill people on our TV show". But nope, there she is breaking a shoot pane of glass over Heath Slater's head, then pulling it back long enough to slam it back down and do a Crown Of Thorns thing with the jagged pieces. Wendi Richter should've pulled out a fat plastic baseball bat with Christmas ornaments stuck to it and jabbed it into his stomach. Piper could've Lincoln Logged a bunch of light tubes and Burning Hammer'd him trough it.
My only understanding of how wrestling works comes from the Internet, so I hope Heath Slater is just "paying his dues" and isn't being given this role as any sort of meta punishment. When he gets fired I don't want his resume to say
– Shoved by Flo Rida
– Had glass smashed over head by Cyndi Lauper
– Kneed in the dick by Lawrence Welk
or whatever.
Best: AW As The Best Possible Funkette
Yeah, sliding Abraham Washington to the left to be the voice of the Primetime Players was the best unimportant decision WWE has made in years. The guy is money (obnoxious money) and perfect for the kind of OH BOO COME ON BOO thing WWE wants from its midcard heel tag teams. Darren Young benefits by having someone with charisma stand beside him, and Titus O'Neil benefits from not ever having to open his mouth again for anything but dog noises.
I like their entrance and hope it stays elaborate. They need a big explosion between their announcement and their Hip Hop Track #15 entrance theme kicking in. It should just keep getting more and more elaborate every week until they've got a dance troupe with sparklers and a mascot and they're riding jungle cats to the ring.
Best: Rosa Mendes As The Best Possible Rosa Mendes
I (and the WWE Universe) don't know if PERM are babyfaces by default now or what, but indignant, pointing Rosa Mendes doesn't have time for a ring apron corset wiggle, and that drops PERM's television effectiveness by almost 80%. Thankfully they got most of that when Rosa started slapping canvas and … well, look at it.
That makes me want to chant "Primo", but not in the way you intended.
Worst: The Shocking Conclusion
Raise your hand if you enjoyed seeing heels leave a match because they thought for a moment they couldn't win. Go ahead, raise your hands. Put 'em up if you like watching purposeful countouts 3 minutes into a match.
WWE's got this weird sensibility going on where the only two types of bad guys are "unstoppable" and "too cowardly to finish". As a result, the unstoppable guys seem super fake and the cowardly guys look like wimps, so no believable, compelling heel challengers are created. If a good guy can just call the bad guys whatever he wants and do whatever he wants with them and never faces consequences, there's no drama created and no stakes, and that's what gives us shit like Santino having the US title and losing to Alberto Del Rio in 40 seconds. Nobody cares about anything happening. John Cena can get fired and just keep showing up. Laurinaitis can get fired and show back up in a week or two (or on Smackdown) with a no job doing the exact same thing. Or the same job, if you're Vince McMahon. Nothing matters, nobody has credibility, and only kids who can't remember much of what happened last week move forward thinking you're doing a good job.
The easier thing to do here would be LET THE PRIMETIME PLAYERS PIN PRIMO AND EPICO BECAUSE THEY'RE F**KING PRIMO AND F**KING EPICO AND YOU JUST MADE THESE GUYS THE #1 CONTENDERS TO YOUR TAG TITLES. Just let them beat PERM. Why do they need to be protected? You had Big Show beat them by himself. Let the guys you're pushing get victories and stop 50/50 booking the god-damn out of everything. If nobody looks good, everybody looks bad.

Dennis Lillee
|Search for comments on this interview
If you've had as your close personal friend Jack Nicholson, if Mick Jagger's been your groupie, if the Queen has personally sent you her autograph, and if 100,000 people have chanted your name in unison, you can really only be one man. Ladies and gentlemen, Dennis Lillee.
Welcome, Dennis.
Dennis Lillee:Thanks, mate.
Andrew Denton:Welcome to 'The Rope' as we call it.
Dennis Lillee:Thanks, mate.
Andrew Denton:My mum is so jealous. She just said, "Give him a kiss for me." And I apologise for what happened backstage. It was just
Dennis Lillee:(Laughs) I survived, mate.
Andrew Denton:We've got a photo of you as a bub that you've brought in. Little young infant Dennis Lillee.
Dennis Lillee:Jeez! Changed a bit.
Andrew Denton:Yeah. Now the first thing I noticed was no moustache.
Dennis Lillee:No, it's amazing. Even my kids didn't come out with moustaches. Bit of a worry, isn't it?
Andrew Denton:We're you a good babe?
Dennis Lillee:Um, you'd have to ask Mum. I don't remember much about it but I think I was I cried a bit, and was a bit disruptive but I think by and large I was probably OK.
Andrew Denton:As you grew into a kid, we've got a photo of you as a kid. How old were you there? You were a striking lad even then.
Dennis Lillee:Pretty shocking, isn't it? Um, 12, I'd say.
Andrew Denton:12 years old.
Dennis Lillee:At high school.
Andrew Denton:Even then you were obsessed with cricket, weren't you?
Dennis Lillee:Yeah, I mean, all sports. I loved all sports. And cricket, I suppose, was a just something was a bit mystical about it. In those days it's a bit hard for people to understand now there were no televisions and so it was radio. You're supposed to be asleep in bed and you've got the little transistor under the pillow. So I just think it was like, this thing is happening at this time of night miles away, I guess I couldn't relate to it and it seemed apart from like footy was great, athletics was great, but this was sort of mystical.
Andrew Denton:'Cause when I was a kid, I would literally run around the backyard pretending to be you. It's not that far-fetched, is it? Alright, it is that far-fetched. You were considered the greatest fast bowler of your time, if not ever, and yet you used to get very nervous before a game. What were you scared of?
Dennis Lillee:Probably getting smashed around by the batsman for a start. Um, I've always been nervous and I would sometimes before a game, particularly at school, I would have to go in the shower and stand under the shower for half an hour to an hour freezing cold shower to try and stop my nose bleeds, you know, from the sort of, you know, the nerves.
Andrew Denton:Really?
Dennis Lillee:Yeah, I don't know why. I mean, I guess you're just born like that. I mean, you seem a really nervous person too.
Andrew Denton:You think so? I'd never thought of it before but now you mention it Were you ever scared Did other bowlers scare you when you were playing international cricket?
Dennis Lillee:Yes, they did. One time I remember in particular was Thommo Jeff Thomson, who I'd bowled with for years and played against for years in Shield cricket. And we sort of had a pact, an unwritten pact, that we wouldn't bowl each other bouncers.
Andrew Denton:Ohhh.
Dennis Lillee:And anyway, it got to my last game, and I was captain of Western Australia and he was captain of Queensland and it got real tight. And I don't know who started it but I'm glad it was only that last game because I could have been killed.
Andrew Denton:Yeah?
Dennis Lillee:No doubt about that. You know, he was just some lethal deliveries and that was when he was on the downhill run.
Andrew Denton:I'm going to ask you now to assess the relative skill you and Thommo had in scaring a batsman. This is the Enough Rope scale of batsmen's brown pants. If we could just bring this in. This is the scaredness level of batsmen. We have nervous fawn, tell-tale ochre, difficult to hide brown and completely lost it chocolate. Now, where do you reckon you were on this scale, Dennis?
Dennis Lillee:Mate, I tell you what, I reckon with Thommo I was definitely crammed somewhere in the middle.
Andrew Denton:But as a bowler what would you do to a batsman?
Dennis Lillee:Oh, as a bowler! Um, yeah, probably just depends. Probably the light brown varying to that was later in the career, towards the I suppose when I first started a lot were towards the darker end.
Andrew Denton:Right.
Dennis Lillee:So you put completely lost it in chocolate, really.
Andrew Denton:And Thommo, was he always at the dark ?
Dennis Lillee:Thommo was always completely lost it in chocolate.
Andrew Denton:There we are. We can remove the pants 'cause, quite frankly, they're making me ill.
Dennis Lillee:Me too.
Andrew Denton:We are Thommo used to say he loved the sound of a ball on a batsman's skull.
Dennis Lillee:I think Thommo regrets saying that. I mean, he's sort of Thommo just, you know, he's a great guy and just says what he thinks. But I don't think he really would have wanted to hit them on the head or hurt them badly.
Andrew Denton:And the same goes for you, obviously.
Dennis Lillee:No, really, I didn't mind if it actually hit the guy but I did qualify that by saying I didn't like it if it caused any permanent damage. You know, if it's a broken arm or, you know, broken thumb or rib, well, you know, that is part of the game. That is part of the game.
Andrew Denton:And permanent is a very flexible concept too.
Dennis Lillee:Oh, yeah. And so are some you know, as we saw with the degrees you had there. I mean, it is very different.
Andrew Denton:Yeah. We have some footage here of you in the Centenary Test bowling to a very troublesome Derek Randall who scored 170-odd. This is one where you didn't miss.
Commentator: And that's hit him on the head. A bad one, bad one. There was an appeal there. The ball's gone to second slip and caught. Now, the batsman is down. Randall knocked over by that one.
Commentator 2: That hit him right plumb flush on the head.
Dennis Lillee:Once again, it is part of the game. They have helmets now, they didn't in those days so it made it a little bit more difficult.
Andrew Denton:He actually spoke to you as he was lying on the pitch, didn't he?
Dennis Lillee:Yeah, I don't know what he said. Something like, he doffed his hat and said, "Good afternoon" or "Good morning, Mr Lillee." And, you know, he sort of Did you ever I don't know if you guys ever saw him, but when he batted, er, padded up, oh, sorry, when he stood there ready to face the ball, he's about to actually play the ball and he'd dart around two or three paces. It was annoying, you know? When he did this then he'd hit you. When he did this for some time I just said to him, "Mate, do you mind? "Stand still. I find it very difficult to hit a moving target." And he laughed. I mean, it was a throwaway line but, you know, he laughed so we do have a bit of humour out there.
Andrew Denton:One guy you did know, you got to know quite well, you saw him up close in a way few of us do, is Kerry Packer during World Series Cricket. Now, what kind of a man is K.P.?
Dennis Lillee:I saw a lot of Kerry. I never ever wanted to get on the bad side of Kerry. Um, and I saw once or twice people who did and, you know, yeah, it was pretty rough. His knowledge of the game, his love of the game, was phenomenal. I heard a story one time during World Series Cricket where, this is the other side of him, where it started to rain and everyone came off and the umpire left the ball out on the ground. And he apparently ran down in the rain, went and got the ball and took it into the dressing-room where the umpires were and said, "These cost money look after that." There's a guy that was throwing millions in.
Andrew Denton:So he even had people by the balls then?
Dennis Lillee:Yes, exactly!
Andrew Denton:Remarkable. You were probably, certainly to all the women I know and some of the men, the most gorgeous man alive in the '70s. Uh, uh, my mother, we've had to restrain her tonight when she heard you were on the show. You know, basically it was going to be tongue-kiss city. She's been put to one side. How did you find the strength to repel the women that were throwing themselves at you?
Dennis Lillee:I never saw it, but I've got the strength, if it happened.
Andrew Denton:You're not telling me they were there for Max Walker, come on.
Dennis Lillee:(Laughs) Mate, it's about anything. I mean, you know, anyone who's popular, there's always going to be an opportunity. For anything. You know, drugs, whatever. And it's what you want to do with it.
Andrew Denton:You were really good at the showmanship, too. This is a classic piece of Dennis Lillee. I think this is why we love watching you so much, Dennis. Check this.
Commentator: Another bouncer. That's four in this over. I feel sure now that Umpire Brooks will definitely have something to say to Dennis Lillee. Yes, first warning. It is an official warning to both umpires and to Australian captain Greg Chappell. He has one more warning, and then he's off. Lillee, shaping as if to underarm the ball down. And Lillee, his follow-through within a couple of metres of Sadiq. Dennis looks like he'll leave the jumper till next time.
Dennis Lillee:I must apologise to all the kids out there. That's, er
Andrew Denton:That's not how you do it?
Dennis Lillee:That's not too good, no.
Andrew Denton:I was going to ask you, do you look back on that sort of thing now and think, "Oh, God, what was I thinking?"
Dennis Lillee:Look, I regret a lot of things I did, no doubt about that, and that was probably one of them, but I I just feel that if you are going for it in a sport and you've worked hard and you really want the success, not just for you but for your team, something can happen. And I don't say it's an excuse, as an excuse, I say it can happen. With me, it happened probably too often. But, um, I like to think that the good stuff I did far outweighed all that bad stuff. And it was some bad stuff, and I don't want you to bring any more on! There's too many!
Andrew Denton:Don't call me a moron. I want to move on to today's cricket team, Steve Waugh's mob. Which one of his squad would be best suited to the Ian Chappell team that you played in?
Dennis Lillee:Oh, Shane Warne. I mean No doubt. You know, he's a great guy. He is one of the only bowlers that I've seen certainly spin bowler that just makes the hairs, well, on the back of my neck, not the top, stand up. Because I just, er, I just think every time he comes in to bowl I think he can get a wicket.
Andrew Denton:What do you reckon the bigger mistake Shane has made is? Is it taking the diuretics or is it actually lying about how many he took?
Dennis Lillee:I think I really do believe And I spoke to a sports doctor about this just after it had happened, and I said, you know, "What do you think?" And he said, "Mate, they used diuretics to mask things 10 years ago." He said, "Mate, he's just taken the diuretics to obviously lose some weight or whatever," And he believes that and he's in that game. Um, I just think he was a bit, er, probably a bit naive. Um, you know, I think he really probably did believe, or his mum probably sort of thought, you know, "You've got a bit of a double chin, mate, look good." I mean, I do believe that. I hope I'm not naive, but I'm sure I'm not.
Andrew Denton:You bowled, officially, your last game a few years ago at the age of 50. You took three against Pakistan. What was it like knowing you were coming in for the last time to bowl?
Dennis Lillee:Um A relief on my body. Um, I guess I just held on for that last year or two to play in those games because my son had just started playing Adam, my eldest son. I guess in the end 50, plus the chance that my son might play, I think those things were the ones that sort of made me play until that age silly age as a bowler.
Andrew Denton:What have you told your son Adam about the unavoidable fact that he has to play cricket in your shadow? What have you advised him?
Dennis Lillee:In our household, it was, er, there was nothing special about the fact that I played cricket for Australia and things like that. I mean, cricket was never taken home. It was just a normal household, you know, there's no, you know, "You're a star," or anything like that. Which is the way it should be
Andrew Denton:The family didn't chant, "Lillee, Lillee!"
Dennis Lillee:Not not all the time.
Andrew Denton:You you're considered a man's man. I think most men would say that. Do you ever cry?
Dennis Lillee:Oh, yeah. Um, I cried when I saw 'Love Story'. Actually, it was a bit funny, because we were in England, Helen and I, and Bruce Yardley and his wife Kath were up in Scotland. And it was the end of the season and we said, "See you back in Australia." Anyway, gone to 'Love Story', walked out, and we walked straight into Bruce and Kath Yardley. The chances of that are, you know, just impossible. And Kath had dark glasses on and I had dark glasses on, Helen had dark glasses on, so did Bruce. And we all had tears in the eyes.
Andrew Denton:Ahhh.
Dennis Lillee:Nice story, it was.
Andrew Denton:That is. That's
Dennis Lillee:And a few other times. I mean, I'm I'm as susceptible as anyone else, so
Andrew Denton:You're a big gooey lump, basically.
Dennis Lillee:Yeah, I think so.
Andrew Denton:Good to know. Being a sports legend, being a living sports legend, is it a bit like 'Groundhog Day' in that whatever room you go into you're reliving the same experiences over and over?
Dennis Lillee:It gives you a lot to have done well at a sport. Um, it gives you, you know, an opportunity to really, you know, to get to a lot of places and do a lot of things. The downside is everywhere you go you're known, and everywhere you go, you know, someone is there, and you get the real good ones, a lot of 'em 90% and then you get the guy in the bar that just wants to grab your ear and belt it. And, you know, it's sort of, after a while, it's the same old story, he asks you the same old questions, much like yourself No, no. I mean
Andrew Denton:Yeah. No.
Dennis Lillee:And, er Sorry, mate.
Andrew Denton:That's alright. It's a fair cop.
Dennis Lillee:I'm only giving you a hard time. And, er, you know, you sort of get to the stage where, if they were great questions, terrific, it sort of gets you going. But then they say, "I was at " And it's nice of them, but you hear it from everyone, "I was at the Melbourne Cricket Ground the day you got Viv out, and I was there when ", you know. And in the end, what do you say? I mean, you say, "Oh, that's great," and that, but what more can you say? And I can only remember about three or four wickets I ever got. Maybe 10. So, you know, I mean, I've I've it's gone. And not that I want to get rid of it, but it's those red wines that destroy it.
Andrew Denton:You're bringing out a book later this year about your life story, so if all of this is gone
Dennis Lillee:Yeah, it's frightening, isn't it?
Andrew Denton:Yeah.
Dennis Lillee:Yeah, yeah. It was
Andrew Denton:Is it a colouring-in book?
Dennis Lillee:Yeah, it's a it's a Well, I figured that if I actually write it that I might not get asked those questions again. They can buy the book, and, er, and get the answers then. But, er, yeah, that was difficult, seriously, to write that book. I enjoyed it because it was interesting to have another look 20-odd years on, or more, 40 years on in some cases, you know? But it was hard work to recall all those things, but in the end it came out pretty good.
Andrew Denton:I look forward to seeing it. Do you go to bed at night ever with the chant of "Lillee, Lillee!" in your head?
Dennis Lillee:It's not something you sort of think, "Shit, I wish I was still out there." Um, I guess I never, ever have thought that. The thing I missed right at the end of my playing days was the comradeship that I had with all those mates that I played cricket with and particularly the ones that I played for some 12-14 years with. I mean, they I missed that when I first stopped. That was difficult. But when I first stopped, I actually got away from cricket totally for four or five years. And I think that did me the world of good. It then makes you, if you didn't want to, it makes you do other things.
Andrew Denton:Dennis, my mum's out the back, she wants to meet you, I'm afraid I can't restrain her any longer. Thank you very much for coming. It's been great.

"The Middle" Child Star Atticus Schaffer Conquers Physical Disability
Posted on 19. Apr, 2010 by Editor Tracy Bobbitt in CHILD ACTORS, Child Stars, Overcoming Disabilities & Challenges, THE BUZZ
THE MIDDLE Child Star ATTICUS SCHAFFER Conquers Physical Disability. Says His Parents Support His Acting Dreams!
Atticus Shaffer, born June 19 1998, stars as Brick Heck on ABC's comedy, "The Middle," lives in Acton, California, with his mother, Debbie, and father, Ron, as well as a host of rescue animals including two dogs, four cats, several chickens, fish and one rabbit. He also has a brother, twenty years his senior! Atticus suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) a genetic bone disorder resulting in fragile bones. About his disability Schaffer says, "It's a small portion of me and nothing more. I take extra precautions where I step to make sure it's safe. And I shouldn't do anything with heavy lifting or anything that could make me slip and fall."
Atticus is home schooled by his mom and excels in his education. Of his mom he says "we learn together." Way to go HM Debbie! It obvious neither Atticus nor his parents let OI slow him down which is illustrated not only by his acting but his involvement with the Boy Scouts. He loves to camp, earn Merit badges, read, play LEGOS, researching military history and collect World War II memorabilia. His favorite presidents are George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Atticus is a wonderful example of a child who is living his life to the fullest despite his challenges and he gives full credit to his mom and dad for enabling him to do so.

So I was watching the middle and noticed that Brick kinda walks differently so I googled to see if he had a disorder of some kind, especially after I read that he was actually 17 years old, but looks so young. I found out about the disorder and it interests me cause Brick is on one of my favorite shows and he's the smartest character which attaches me more.
12. Mar, 2016
No, Atticus is not autism. He has OI disease, so it is so easy to break any brittle bones. I met one lady who has a son with too many brittle bones. I learned a lot from her love example for her son. I talked myself after seeing a new show "The Middle". I just wondered what happened to Brick, because he is small child, but not even grow up like a good man. I searched and searched about his biography life. I just found it and I am realized that he has an OI and means this is easy to break any bones like brittle bones. I understood. I went back to watch every show "The Middle" and I love it every single minute of it. I just laugh and enjoy. I hope they keep acting until they will be married and have grandchildren to the end. This is my hope for the show "Middle".

Hello Atticus, ( Brick ) We watch your show, each of the Actors are great, but we feel that you are an Asset to the show! I don't know alot of OI but I, my husband have many disabilitys, had surgeries, also my hubby has a nerve disease called RSD. I on the other hand have 4 disc's in my neck that are herniated disc I' ve seen 4 or so Nero doc's whom Don't want to do surgery so I have pain management until I can't take it any more, those nerve doc's say it's a hard surgery ! My Point is I know about all the pain, suffering I have but you are an Actor, good one, you're young, will grow, but you don't let OI. hold you back, so I think you will go far in your life, be happy! Bless You Atticus

My son has OI type 1. I am a nurse and try to homeschool him the best I can while working. Despite U.S. Keeping him sheltered he has had 16 broken bones ans 5 surgeries. Most people that meet him love him instantly and think he is a child in a old mans body. He is truly remarkable with people especially adults and has a redneck accent that makes his talking all the more interesting. I admire Atticus for having the opportunity to make a stand with this disease, I know my son is truly special too, he and Atticus would probably be fast friends. Hats off to you Atticus and your family.

Love atticus' work along with the cast. This show is just wonderful. It's believable as well as original and creative. The actress who plays Sue is delightful and ultra talented. Atticus lends a brilliance of creativity not on other shows. I could go on all day about it!
06. Mar, 2015
This is a website to learn more about Atticus's bone disease which his mother also has. Atticus has Type IV (4) and his mother has the same bone disease however, she has Type I (1).

Hola yo soy de ECUADOR y me encanta esta serie,
i think we need this kind of comedy in our life , with out sex or drugs to make us laugh .
I pray for "Brick" he is an example for US,
07. Dec, 2012
Can't believe how real that show is. I love Brick especially, but they are all imperfectly wonderful. The last episode about having 20bucks to buy presents made me, as a single mom to 2 boys, feel less alone. I was just wondering where the money came from to get the expensive ingredients for over 1000 cookies. Lol. I know it's a comedy, I just notice stuff like that. That would cost a bundle. I hope the church paid for it.
06. Jul, 2012
I love this show and I applaud this boy for not letting his condition stop him! We knew something was not quite right with him so I read up and found out about his condition. I do not feel sorry for him because I feel in my heart he does not want anyone to feel sorry for him. He is a darling little boy and I hope this show continues on. I love all the characters, but Brick has to be my favorite. He is so dang cute!!!!
15. Jun, 2012
My son has OI .Grade IV B. and was born in Jan 1998 … i call him your 'twin' – he looks like u, talks like u and also has the same interests as u!!! his name is Cameron, but we now call him Brick lol … everytime I watch an episode of The Middle it makes me smile, because i can see my son in your place!!

What led me here? Well, the middle is my favorite television sitcom. I am in love with it. Lots of laughs and great entertainment for the whole family. Atticus Schaffer, who plays brick, reminds me of me when I was his age. I could related to him. His best friend is his back pack my best friend was a piece of lint that I carried with me every where I went. I remember taking 'lint' out of my pocket during recess and talking with him. Sad, huh?
Anyway…it looks like Atticus and I share the same birthday too! I was born on Father's Day June 19.
Atticus you inspire me and I think you are a great actor….actor.
And I love the rest of the cast too. It's like living my youth all over again. For reals!
16. Jun, 2010
your my fave for sure.

[…] Atticus Shaffer. You've probably never heard of him. But, you will recognize him as one of the stars of ABC's new show The Middle. This spring, it was revealed in People Magazine that Atticus is a member of the OI community and so is his mother. His mother is Type 1, the same form that I have. Atticus is Type 4. When asked about Osteogenesis Imperfecta he responded, "It's a small portion of me and nothing more. I take extra precautions where I step to make sure it's safe.
