William DuVall (born September 6, 1967) is an American musician, best known as being the current vocalist and a co-guitarist for the alternative metal band Alice in Chains replacing original vocalist Layne Staley, who died in 2002. DuVall joined Alice in Chains in 2006, and he appears on the 2009 album Black Gives Way to Blue as well as the 2013 follow-up The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.
DuVall is also co-founder, lead singer, guitarist and lyricist for Comes with the Fall. In his long musical career, DuVall has played a role in many bands playing in a variety of genres, an example being the influential punk rock group Neon Christ.
Early career (1983–1992)[edit]
DuVall's music career started in the early 1980s Atlanta hardcore punk scene. He first performed with Awareness Void of Chaos.
In 1983, DuVall helped found the controversial Atlanta-based hardcore punk band Neon Christ, contributing guitars and lyrics to the band's albums.[1] Other members of this band were vocalist Randy DuTeau, bassist Danny Lankford, and drummer Jimmy Demer. Neon Christ had strong ties to hardcore luminaries Corrosion of Conformity and Bl'ast. With a couple of short East Coast tours and two albums, the politically-pointed band started gaining popularity. The band used its popularity to support many charitable causes including working to free Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
The band disbanded in 1986, reuniting for a one-time show featuring the original members on December 24, 2004. Currently, the members are said to be filming a documentary, which concluded with a February 2, 2008 show at Lawrenceville, Georgia's punk haunt The Treehouse.[2]
After Neon Christ originally broke up, DuVall was briefly the second guitarist in the popular Northern California hardcore punk band Bl'ast,[1] contributing a small bit of writing to their second album, It's In My Blood,[3] released on the hardcore punk–alternative label SST Records, founded by Greg Ginn of hardcore punk band Black Flag. DuVall did not, however, stay with the band long enough to record on the album.
In 1987, DuVall formed the Final Offering with vocalist Randy Gue (a former Neon Christ roadie),[4] Corrosion of Conformity bassist Mike Dean and drummer Greg Psomas.[5] However, Psomas's heroin habit hindered them from working consistently.[1] Dean would go back to work with Corrosion of Conformity; Psomas died of an overdose in 1994.[1]
DuVall spent the late 1980s with a Jimi Hendrix-inspired band, No Walls. Other members of this band were jazz bassist Hank Schroy and drummer Matthew Cowley.[5] They released one album[1] in 1992.[5] He also spent the late 1980s in college earning a degree in philosophy, with a specialization in religion.
Mid career (1992–2007)[edit]
In 1994, DuVall co-wrote the song "I Know" for fellow Atlanta musician Grammy-nominated Dionne Farris; this song won DuVall an ASCAP award.[1]
In the late 90s, DuVall founded the band Madfly with Nico Constantine, Bevan Davies and Jeffery Blount. He served as guitarist, singer and songwriter. Their efforts included two albums, Get the Silver and White Hot in the Black, the former was released on Killing Floor Recordings, the latter through Blackheart Records and distributed nationally by Mercury Records/PolyGram.
In 1999, DuVall, Bevan, and Nico moved on to form Comes With The Fall, adding Adam Stanger as their bassist. CWTF released their first cd Comes with the Fall in 2000, and their second cd The Year is One in 2001. CWTF began touring as both the opening band and as part of Jerry Cantrell's solo band for his Degradation Trip tours in 2001 and 2002. Follow up releases: Live 2002 cd, companion to their Live Underground 2002 DVD; The Reckoning ep in 2006 and Beyond the Last Light cd in 2007. CWTF's entire catalog was produced by William's DVL Recordings label.
Present career (2007–present)[edit]
Quickly becoming Cantrell's go-to man, DuVall and Cantrell's musical collaborations led to DuVall joining Cantrell's band Alice in Chains, replacing Layne Staley, who died in 2002.
Initially, Cantrell and the other veteran members of Alice in Chains had said this reunion didn't necessarily foretell a future for the band and that this was just a tribute to Staley and their fans. Drummer Sean Kinney went further, saying at that time he would have liked to change the name and adding, "I don't see continuing as Alice and replacing somebody."[6] DuVall expressed similar sentiments with regards to the task of filling in for Staley.[5] However, the reformed Alice in Chains generated enthusiasm from their fans to convince them to keep the name. DuVall claims to have met Staley's family, who have all purportedly given the band their blessing.[7] In 2007, Alice in Chains began touring with Velvet Revolver and Kill Hannah. The ReEvolution tour was in two parts. The first took in many European cities and the Eastern United States. The second part, also referred to as "The Libertad Tour", is primarily a cross-country tour that spread into three cities in Canada. For the first time in 15 years Alice In Chains toured Australia as second headliner under Nine Inch Nails on the Soundwave Festival. Personally, it was DuVall's first visit to Australia. It had since been advertised on the official Alice in Chains website that the band – now with DuVall officially noted as lead singer – was working on new material with an album, now known as Black Gives Way to Blue, released on September 29, 2009.[8][needs update]
In 2008 he performed vocal duties with MC5/DTK at the Meltdown Festival curated by Massive Attack.
In 2011, Alice in Chains took time off after touring more than 30 countries and mourning the death of their original bass player Mike Starr, according to his long-time replacement Mike Inez.[9] However, DuVall stated that there was a possibility of another album in the near future, commenting, "It would be fairly safe to say that you don't come this far and do all this work just to stop for another 15 years."[10] In March, it was announced that Alice in Chains would begin recording a new album at the tail end of 2011.[11] In May 2013, the album The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here was released.[12]
In the meantime, DuVall has reunited with his former Neon Christ bandmates to do a documentary film called All Alone Together: Neon Christ and Atlanta Hardcore, which he said director Edgar Johnson had first pitched to him back in 2005.[4][13] In 2016, he released the album Broken Lines with the supergroup Giraffe Tongue Orchestra founded by Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan.[14]

Web Work in the Works
By Eileen Feretic | Posted 2009-06-01 Email PrintAt Los Angeles World Airports, the IT organization is laying the groundwork to become the world's most technologically advanced airport.
In May, LAWA launched a new intranet site for its approximately 4,000 employees, 191 of whom are in the Information Technology Services Division. "Eventually, we will probably allow city employees to have access to the intranet as well," Nessi says. "We want to have a very strong collaborative environment.
"Our intranet is basically the same as the intranet we designed when I was the CIO at the National Park Service, and it was wildly successful there. We're using all the same features and the same format. And, like the employees at the National Park Service, our staff members will be able to access the intranet every day to get the latest news about our airports, as well as information about the airport/airline business."
The majority of LAWA's employees have access to the intranet from their desktop computers, and there are kiosks available for the security and maintenance staffs to use. In May, a handheld version of the intranet was deployed for employees who do not have a desktop computer.
"Our intranet will have wikis, chat rooms and blogs, which will be very valuable to the airport because our employees have a tremendous wealth of intelligence, but we don't always have all their knowledge committed to paper," Nessi explains. "Wikis are a great way of sharing knowledge among employees.
"We recently tested a wiki on the A380 plane because everybody has a lot of interest in that aircraft. It's great to have at your fingertips the ability to find out how big the wing is or how tall the tail is, or which gates can accommodate the A380. These are important things for our employees to know."
LAWA is considering expanding the intranet into an extranet in the near future so that city officials, councilmen and possibly local community groups can have access to some of that information. "First, we have to see what kinds of content we have on the intranet and determine who gets access to each type," Nessi says. "For example, if we have contracting plans and procurement information on the intranet, we need to restrict access to that section of the site. So we're working on developing our editorial content policy."

Jonathan Demme's 'Neil Young Journeys' may be truest
'Neil Young Journeys" is easily the least of the three documentaries director Jonathan Demme has made with the legendary rocker; but in its shaggy, eccentric way, it may be the truest. If 2006's "Neil Young: Heart of Gold" played to the mainstream with its evocative sense of acoustic farewell, and "Neil Young Trunk Show" (2010) blew away sentiment with walls of glorious noise, this one basically lets Young piddle around the house.
Not literally, but almost. "Journeys" opens with the singer-songwriter taking us on a tour through his Canadian childhood roots in Omemee — that "town in north Ontario" referenced in "Helpless." Driving a vintage 1956 Ford Crown Victoria, he points out vacant lots that used to be houses and fishing holes full of anecdotes. It's a trip down memory lane as only Neil can do it, fondly dour, wayward as a country dog.
While it periodically returns to Omemee, the movie is primarily a document of a two-night solo electric stand at Toronto's Massey Hall, in May 2011 — the destination, it turns out, of Young's road trip early in the film. (Chronological editing isn't a priority here.) The concert sequences yaw between the inspired, the dull, and the just plain weird. Intentionally or not, this film testifies to a third face of Neil: not the hippie of "Harvest" or the wild godfather of grunge, but the willful experimentalist of early productions like "Broken Arrow" and mid-career oddities like "Trans."
Most of the set list comes from Young's 2010 release "Le Noise," with some highly satisfying journeys through the past: "Down by the River," from 1969, "My My, Hey Hey," from a decade later. "Ohio" (1970) gets an onscreen memorial to the four students shot at Kent State, just to remind us of what the song's really about. Familiar tunes are pulled apart and reinvented; "After the Gold Rush" is performed at an organ, the bass pedal pulling the bottom out of the song's choruses.
There's an air of ransacking the attic. A little-known song called "Hitchhiker," written around the time of "Tonight's the Night" (1975), is a mesmerizing travelogue of drug abuse and longing, Young whaling away on his guitar as if in a trance. The encore, "Walk With Me," from "Le Noise," is even further out there, as the singer swings his instrument like a pendulum in front of the speakers until peals of feedback erupt like a dissonant church hymn.
The risk is that these explorations won't hit a nerve, and there are moments in "Neil Young Journeys," like an endless version of "Love and War," where the inwardness never extends out toward the unseen audience. Demme's filmmaking plays fast and loose with similarly mixed results. It's intriguing to see a camera shot of Young from inside his piano, but the lens affixed to the singer's microphone only gives us a fish-eye view of his whiskered chin and tonsils. If you've ever wanted to see Neil sing through a glaze of his own spittle, this is the movie for you.
But, hey hey my my, he's still going his own ornery way. For true believers, "Neil Young Journeys" is a visit with a still-vital friend. For the merely curious, it's proof that there's more to the man — more strangeness, deeper communions with the muse — than classic rock radio will ever let on.

Part-Time Legislature for California?
Friday, February 10, 2012
For all the time lawmakers spend in Sacramento, Assemblywoman Shannon Grove said they don't get much done.
"We legislate rocks. We legislate shark fins. Unionizing babysitters. It's disastrous. And it's nothing to improve the economic situation or give people an opportunity to be employed. And I think people are done with it," said Grove.
So she's proposing a constitutional amendment that would create a part-time legislature meeting 90 days a year, and a two-year budget cycle. But although the idea may sound good, not everyone is in favor.
"I think it would be a huge mistake. And I think despite people's love of kind of taking a shot at us, which is fine - it's all part of it - that people kind of get that," said Senate President Darrell Steinberg.
Steinberg said a part-time legislature would decrease lawmakers' experience - and, therefore, increase the influence of special interests.

FYI: An Update on Emerging Issues in Banking FYI Home Subscribe Unsubscribe The Evolving Role of Commercial Banks in U.S. Credit Markets
March 25, 2004Note: This is the first of a series of papers comprising the FDIC's Future of Banking Study. Banking is often thought of as among the most traditional of industries. Because of this conventional wisdom, innovation in financial services is sometimes thought to originate in areas other than commercial banks.1 Long term financial sector trends would appear to support this view. As new technologies and new practices have expanded the volume of U.S. credit market debt relative to GDP since 1980, the share of that debt held by commercial banks has clearly declined. However, a careful analysis of U.S. financial sector data shows that banks' share of the financial services market has not shrunk to the extent that is commonly asserted. Moreover, banks have assumed leading roles in providing some of the newer types of financial services products, such as credit card securitizations and mortgage banking services. Today's issue of FYI summarizes an in-depth analysis of these trends that was published today under the FDIC's ongoing study of The Future of Banking at: http://www.fdic.gov/bank/analytical/future/index.html.
Recent historical trends clearly show cross-currents in the importance of financial services in the economy and the share of that activity financed directly by banks. During the 1980s, the total indebtedness of U.S. households, government and nonfinancial businesses rose from just over 1.3 times annual GDP to nearly 1.9 times the size of the economy. Meanwhile, the share of these borrowings directly funded by commercial banks fell, from a peak of 30 percent in 1974 to a low of 20 percent in 1993 (see chart). Banks' smaller share of the credit-market pie reflects a dramatic shift in the way loans to households and businesses are being financed. Specifically, asset securitization (the pooling of loans and their funding by the issue of securities) has allowed loans that used to be funded by traditional intermediaries, including banks, to be funded in securities markets. Somewhat surprisingly, we find that commercial banks continue to play a significant role in directly funding loans to non-financial businesses. Indeed, the share of business-sector debt held directly on commercial bank balance sheets has remained relatively stable (at around 30 percent) for the past five decades. However, there has been a notable shift in how banks make commercial loans, moving away from shorter-term unsecured loans and towards loans secured by business real estate. This shift partly reflects increased competition from other sources of credit, including the commercial paper market, finance companies, and asset securitization. The shift also reflects the continuing comparative advantage of banks in commercial real estate lending, a form of lending that is, in some cases, less well-suited to the standardization necessary for asset-backed securitization. With respect to the funding of household debt, commercial banks and, to a greater extent, savings institutions have lost market share to the securitization process for home mortgages and other forms of consumer credit. However, the increasing commoditization of consumer and mortgage lendingthat is, the standardization, unbundling, and repackaging of payments and risks associated with credit flowsmakes the actual holding of household debt a less accurate measure of the provision of financial services than it may previously have been. Commercial banks provide significant services in originating, servicing, and enhancing the liquidity and quality of credit that is ultimately funded elsewhere. Hence, market-share measures based on balance-sheet data are likely to understate the importance of banks to a greater extent than even a decade ago. A better measure of market share in the financial services sector may be the net income of banks versus other types of financial institutions. Focusing on income-based measures of market share, we find no evidence of a secular decline in the importance of commercial banking. Analysis of publicly-traded financial firms shows that commercial banks and savings institutions accounted for 44 percent of total financial sector earnings between 1992 and 2002, a level comparable to their share before the banking sector problems of the 1980s. A growing source of earnings for banks during the last two decades has been noninterest income, including fees from both traditional banking activities and new activities such as securities underwriting. Noninterest income rose from 18 percent of bank net operating revenue in 1980 to 42 percent in 2003, helping push total banking industry profits to record levels. The bottom line of today's FDIC report on The Future of Banking is that, despite the challenges of measuring market share in an evolving financial services industry, common perceptions of the decline of the banking sector have tended to be somewhat exaggerated. While innovation has led to new and more efficient ways to provide credit market financing outside the banking balance sheet, banks remain integral not only in terms of funding these loans but also as active participants in the newer types of financial market activities.

What I Wore: This One's For The Girls
Last Saturday I stole away to the Livermore valley with two of my best girls. One had come to visit all the way from Nicaragua, where she moved a few years ago to start a new and exciting life with her family. So of course her visit warranted a girls' getaway!
We basically did what we do best-eat, shop, eat, drink, swim, eat and drink. Not necessarily in that order, but it is quite possible.
And, um, yes-these photos were taken at a winery. Wente to be exact. You are going to have to quit catching me on these kind of outings, it's starting to get embarrassing.
I didn't realize at the time, but as I am editing these photos I notice I was a bit patriotic that day. Rocking the good ol' red white and blue! What I was really going for was something that would be casual and comfy enough to wear all day, while still feeling a bit dressy. Sometimes it's only a matter of adding a pair of fun shoes to the outfit!

United Nations - After a 12-hour emergency session that lasted until early Tuesday, the 15-member U.N. Security Council was unanimous in its condemnation of Israel for the killing of at least 10 civilians who were part of a flotilla of six ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The condemnation came in a presidential statement, falling far short of a resolution, by a Security Council where the United States has exercised its veto powers with monotonous regularity to protect Israel from sanctions and charges of war crimes.
But that did not deter Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu from accusing Israel of "banditry and piracy".
Currently, Turkey is one of 10 non-permanent members of the Security Council, along with the five veto-wielding members, namely the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia.
The armed forces of a U.N. member state had committed a serious crime in total disregard of all the United Nations values by storming a multinational, civilian endeavour, killing and wounding many civilians, Davutoglu said.
"This action was uncalled for and a grave breach of international law," he declared.
In simplest terms, he said, this is tantamount to banditry and piracy. "It is murder conducted by a state. It has no excuses, no justification whatsoever," he said.
There were reports that some of the civilians killed were Turkish nationals and some of the ships were operating under Turkish flags. The Israeli action was criticised by virtually every single member of the Security Council, including France, Britain, China and Russia.
The United States, however, was more tempered in its criticism and refused to use strong language to condemn one of its enduring political and military allies - long considered a sacred cow inside and outside the Security Council chambers.
U.S. Ambassador Alejandro Wolff, second in command to Ambassador Susan Rice, expressed his "regrets" for the tragic loss of life and injury.
But he said he expected a credible and transparent investigation and urged the Security Council to conduct one fully.
Wolff said Monday's confrontation recalled a similar situation in 2008, when the United States had stressed "that non-provocative and non-confrontational mechanisms existed for humanitarian aid delivery into Gaza".
"The direct delivery by sea was not appropriate, or responsible," he added.
Still, he stressed the need for allowing humanitarian goods, including construction materials, into Gaza, while recognising Israel's legitimate security concerns.
Wolff expressed deep concern over the suffering of Gaza civilians. "The situation was unsustainable and not in the interest of anyone concerned," he said.
He said it was necessary to address the full range of humanitarian and recovery needs of Palestinians.
But "interference by Hamas", considered a terrorist organisation by the United States but voted into power by the Palestinians, "had complicated humanitarian efforts in Gaza, and it had undermined security and prosperity for all Palestinians."
Briefing delegates, Oscar Fernandez-Taranco, assistant secretary-general for political affairs, said Monday's bloodshed would have been avoided if repeated calls on Israel to end the counterproductive and unacceptable blockade of Gaza had been heeded.
He said the incident had taken place some 40 nautical miles off the coast, in international waters, and had reportedly involved Israeli military personnel boarding the vessels, supported by naval ships and helicopters.
Given the circumstances, he said, it is not possible to state definitively the sequence or details of what happened.
The Israeli delegate, Daniel Carmon, defended the actions of the Israeli commandos while condemning the peace activists and accusing them of "embracing Hamas and terrorist organisations that openly shunned a two-state solution and called for Israel's destruction".
"The answer is clear. They are not peace activists; they are not messengers of goodwill. They cynically use the guise of humanitarian aid to send a message of hate and to implement violence," he added.
In its presidential statement - which lacks the political and diplomatic clout of a resolution - the Security Council deeply regretted the loss of life and injuries resulting from the use of force during the Israeli military operation in international waters against the convoy sailing to Gaza.
The Council condemned those acts which resulted in the loss of at least 10 civilians and many wounded, and expressed its condolences to their families.
At the same time, the Security Council requested "the immediate release of the ships as well as the civilians held by Israel".
The Council also urged Israel to permit full consular access, to allow the countries concerned to retrieve their deceased and wounded immediately, and to ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance from the convoy to its destination.
The Security Council also took note of a statement by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the need to conduct a full investigation into the matter and called for a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation conforming to international standards.
The Security Council also very clearly declared "that the situation in Gaza is not sustainable".

The Blue and Blacks won that encounter comfortably and with S4C's television cameras present this week, Bedwas will be looking to build on a deserved victory over Neath last weekend.
"We showed in patches last week what we are capable of," said Bedwas head coach Steve Law.
"We perhaps should have won by a more convincing margin but overall we got the reaction I was looking for.
"Llanelli are a good side but I am confident we can find a way past them. The boys are very excited to be playing on live television and are keen to showcase their skills to the viewers."
In the interests of continuity, Bedwas make few changes to the side which triumphed at The Gnoll.
Matthew Pewtner comes in for Dan Dearden at centre, the latter dropping to the bench while up front, there are two changes to the front row. There are recalls for Wales Under 20 hooker Elliot Dee and Aaron Coundley at loose head prop.
Llanelli make two changes to the starting XV from last Saturday's win against Bridgend Ravens. In come forwards Darran Harris and Daniel Thomas.

blood parrot and severum will a severum and blood paroot cichild fight? |
Re: blood parrot and severum Quote:
Adding on... Severums are usually peaceful with most New World Cics when given proper space. So you should be fine. |
hehe, i wouldnt say Mature blood parrots are peaceful, by mature i mean 8", i have never experienced a Blood parrot that didnt beat up on things, mine beat on my 7" flowerhorn. the Bp will dominate the severum, having a mutated mouth doesnt stop them. their is a reason people with flowerhorn keep Bp's with them, they can take and dish out quite the bite when they need to. if the sev decides to defend himself, expect a beat up sev. im not saying it wont work, their is a good chance it will work fine, but im warning you that Bp's can and will most likely become aggressive, and will dominate the severum if they are around the same length. |
my severum is a little bigger than a quarter and the blood parrot is a little smaller than a elmers regular glue bottle. I could get the smaller one the size a little bigger than the quarter. which one should i get? |
try to match their size identically if at all possible. what size tank are these goin into??? that will decide whether they will fight or not. they most likely will in anything less then a 5ft tank. though it is likely to work in a 4ft. anything less then that you cant really even have a severum. |

Here are some of our favorite articles from 2012, in a completely random order and selected rapidly and under pressure. Many of our favorites no doubt slipped through the cracks and, as such, are lost forever. Sike! Happy New Year!
"I was an only child, and I had this voice coming at me all the time, "Come inside!" and all that. So I'm the kind of person that's a little bit shy of those voices. When I'm at a film, I'm very sensitive to someone pushing me around with their film. I think that also led me to want to make a film where I didn't want to, as they say in Freudian psychology, identify with the aggressor. I was sensitive to not wanting to seduce people into my world, but actually offer them the world."
Sarah Gerard on Gerald Murnane's Inland
"My grandfather is a collage of memory. His body is memory. The plague over the landscape of his body is memory. Murnane's landscapes are pieced together from places he's seen and some he's never seen. Those places he's seen are mostly remembered from childhood; those places he hasn't are studied, imagined."
"First of all, I crack the glass because it looks nice. Cracked glass actually forms a decorative element due to the nature of the material. It is something like a mosaic . . . In every soap or midnight thriller, the portrait of the lost love, the bad guy, the abducted child—what have you—is portrayed by mysterious or affective extraneous forces. It is a trick that is popular, cheesy, and accessible to everyone. I want to show my solidarity with these cheap products of culture for the masses. I just do it a bit less aggressive—more emotionless and controlled. I am not interested in the dramatic, but in the contemporary aspect. Identities that are not partitioned hardly exist anymore: these days every individual is a mosaic."
Poet Jack Christian by Ben Kopel
"It's not about a style, it's about an energy. The ability to make a joyful noise from inside the shit. The songs were always there for me. Then the poems appeared. They were everywhere. The poems looked like the songs, and the songs sounded like the poems. As far as obsessions go, it was a pretty natural transition for me from comic books to punk rock to poems. All of these things are about looking at what you have around you and saying 'It doesn't have to be this way! They built it! Let's take it over!'"
Japanese musician Oorutaichi on the technology of music and the benefits of collaboration.
"Incorporating my own voice and singing in the music is very important to me. The moment that I record my own voice, the song transforms into something that is more my own, and I'm able to immerse myself in to the song even further."
Christopher Higgs on reading Olivia Cronk's Skin Horse in New Orleans
"There is a webworm, a sun skeleton, a sweet sister, an albino deer, an owl's face, a poisoned eel, a clutch of ponies, a stuffed-woman, young aunties, and a drugged ghost. There is a moldy wall, untrue pearl buttons, skulled velvet, and dirty catches of Velcro. There is water, terror and seahorses."
"I can't accept that we collectively rejected Reese Witherspoon. I feel that was merely a subset along the continuous deformation of our intense relationship with her. In fact, if there were to be a final move towards royalty in this country Ms. Witherspoon would be a first-ballot Princess. I'd write-in Christgau (as 'Xgau') because I know he'd refuse."
"Well, when people skateboard or ride bikes or whatever, they're doing something cool that only happens for a second or two so they inevitably want to record it; that's the nature of it. You're doing a jump or a trick, you want to record it. What do you record it with? Photography. It's a totally natural progression. You can capture and share what you're doing with people. That's how I got started. I picked up a camera because I wanted to take pictures of my friends. I see the same thing happening with my son and other kids."
"The architecture of the song, layering, and interaction between elements is very intentional. There is a lot of work and finesse to it; we want the structure of a song to be interesting on a conceptual level, but ultimately the priority is to enhance the musicality and emotion of the song. And at the same time, you have to make sure that all the different elements blossom into an enjoyable psychedelic layer cake instead of just a lot of mush in a bucket."
Noura Wedell interview with Jarette Kobek on his book ATTA.
"McDermott never editorializes. He never says: 'Well, here's a guy who composed an entire thesis, who sat around for however many months writing this 100+ page document about removing high-rise architecture and then two years later takes part in an attack on the world's most prominent example of high-rise architecture.' But when I read McDermott, I knew this was my angle, a new way to examine an event that undergone media saturation and become blurry. And perhaps looking at 9/11 architecturally makes a lot more sense than looking at it through the lens of religion."
PHONED-IN #19: FENG SUN CHEN by Luke Degnan and Jeff Nagy
me: i had some idea it was connected to deleuze and rhizomatic subjectivity, but a much darker version, like the blind tuberous subject instead of the rhizomatic, emancipated schizosubject
"My true face is that of a potato. I have many eyes, but see nothing." ("Terminal Conversation")
Feng: right. the Mr potato head
me: without the swappable parts
Feng: but it's also inviting them
2:31 PM me: i did have a nasty tendency to lose and/or eat those
Ben Chasny and Sir Richard Bishop
"I just played what I thought would go along. I remember one particular sunny afternoon in San Francisco when I was lying on the bed trying to come up with stuff, I asked Elisa [Ambrogio], 'Does this sound like two guys fucking?' She said yes. I'm not sure what that says about my general playing."
Justin Lieberman by Nic Guagnini and Lieberman's reponse to Guagnini
"The work, and hence Lieberman's wounded subjectivity, can and will be received. I leave to others to analyze why a picture emblazoned with a Prada logo which is in turn obliterated by a scribble, and shows a man looking at a picture of himself getting a blowjob while shooting H, should matter to us."
"Guagnini's piece of writing about my work doesn't really have as much to do with my art as it does with his own practice, which is that of breaking rules of politeness and manners in the art world. This is the particular form of desublimation he employs, and it is also the primary subject of his text. After all, what could be more shocking than a negative critique in the world of back-patting praise? Weren't you supposed to write something nice? What occurs in his assessment of my work is a polemic between the nice text and the mean text, and this is meant to provoke us into consideration of the rules of etiquette and hierarchy that make up the art world's symbolic sphere."
"You meet people at a party, and it's like, Everyone really likes that guy. And how come? Oh, he's really nice. To me, it's like, Fine, I never want to see him or speak to him again. So, having said that, my idea of creating a character is having someone who goes beyond that. Again I met them, and I got this really weird vibe, and they were making jokes that were funny but were actually kind of inappropriate, considering where they were telling these jokes and I didn't know what to think. Then I saw them again later at a different party and they were alone—they looked really sad and I felt really bad for them because I had all these other thoughts and all these other experiences. So putting all that stuff into a character—which are all things I feel myself or I've experienced and been part of my own relationships with people—you put all that stuff in there and then people's response is, Boy, what a sad, angry person."
"Reality TV ultimately construes reality as a game, so this involves the reality of game theory. At first I thought I would just photograph random scenes from broadcast TV—a kind of Baldessarian technique. But, after talking this over with Nic Guagnini, he said, 'Oh, people crying—that's the reality of the reality show.'"
Gerardo Naranjo and Nicolás Pereda
"With film there's a monopoly of culture. Some movies are seen all over the world. Take Avatar, for instance. Then there are some that many people see and then others that have, practically, no audience. But distribution determines the audiences' attitude toward cinema. It's the reason why someone feels entitled to say, 'Your film sucks because it didn't transport me to a different reality.' This person would never walk into a museum or a dance performance expecting to forget about their lives while there."
"Well, guilt can be used as a political term but, really, it's an emotional, moralistic concept. It may end up in politics, but it begins with families and how people treat children and how we are endlessly competitive, like in the arts. Artists are competitive with other artists. It's a greedy environment that we're all in, if you choose to accept it. They instill these weapons, and guilt is their weapon."
Pamela Cohn talks to filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer
"That space that Anwar was occupying belonged to the dead. It's filled with ghosts. I could not walk in that space with him. The boundaries between Anwar as a person and the political regime have been dissolved. He's holding it all. I could not have had any kind of political ending; it had to solely reflect Anwar's psychological state."
Ryan Sheldon's talks to filmmaker Rick Alverson about his film The Comedy
"The politics of anti-hipsterism don't interest me really. The idea that it's a generation is ludicrous, really—it's all ephemera and perpetual social posturing. We've always had that. I have definite political motivations and opinions about passivity and decadence, but I think there is a responsibility to both explore and obscure those political motivations, or at least to reduce them to more fundamental things."
"I looked like a '60s hippie when I made that film: I had a handlebar mustache and hair down to here. They didn't particularly care for outsiders and they certainly didn't care for outsiders who looked like me. So when I went into a pub, guys always wanted to fight me. I rapidly discerned that they didn't want to hit me; they wanted me to hit them. This was the only touch of human flesh and it came from being hit. That replaced sexuality. The men there generally are hungering. It drives them crazy; it drives them mad not to have femininity around."
"I do think that when I finish a work I don't own it anymore and it just is in the world and circulates and whatever it does or doesn't do, I take responsibility for it, but it's not mine. My ego isn't attached. So it's a bit strange. It's even a bit like giving birth . . . "
"I never felt myself to be a guitarist—I'm a musician and if you stay hours in studios, you learn sound, arrangements and many other important things. Being able to play an instrument helps, but the real drive is to be able to create music."
There are many, many more articles that we loved and were proud to work on. 2012 was a busy year. Hopefully 2013 will be busier. Thanks for reading!

For both, the fun ends when you have to pay up. The quote "Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill" is attributed to young actor Christopher Parker. If you're not procrastinating productively, putting off necessary tasks will just increase the agony of making up for that time later—just like using credit without budgeting can come as a shock at bill time. Next time, when you're tempted to procrastinate, consider what that borrowed time will really cost you when it comes down to crunch time.

Forelimbs became flippers. Note the similarity between the bones of flippers and the human hand.A hoofed land mammal and close whale relative that lived about 45 million years ago, Andrewsarchus mongoliensis is known from a single skull discovered in 1923 during a Museum expedition to Inner Mongolia.

5 Questions With ... Fadi Raji, on owning a store and raffling a car
When Fadi Raji, 32, opened On the Way Liquor and Convenience Store last December in Fountain Valley, he wanted the grand opening to be special. The Chamber of Commerce did a ribbon-cutting and he invited as many people as he could. Santa was there to take pictures, there were arts and crafts for the children and Raji served hot chocolate and cookies. The local community is important to him. Now, On the Way is raffling a car for charity. We caught up with Raji to find out all about the service-oriented business owner.
Q: Why did you open your business in Fountain Valley?
A: I like the Fountain Valley community. I've worked in other areas of Southern California and I chose Fountain Valley because I really like the people here. It's a great place to establish a business and I enjoy being part of a community that takes care of each other. I wanted a store that was clean, bright and a well-stocked neighborhood store. We have more than 3,000 items now, ranging from food items, personal care items, pet food, basic school and stationary supplies, snacks, wines, spirits, beer, sodas and more. Customer service is my priority.
Q: You are raffling off a car?
A: I love giving back to the community. I decided that for our first anniversary party, Dec. 5, will be a big thank you to Fountain Valley. I really wanted to help kids in the area that need help. So, I'm raffling off a brand new Chevy Cruze. All the proceeds are going to be donated to the Fountain Valley Regional Hospital Foundation for the work they do with the excellent pediatric programs at the hospital. We arranged to secure the car through Connell Chevrolet. It's a super way for people to win a car for a $20 donation and to help the kids that need it. The drawing will be held at our anniversary party. I am still putting final details together for that, but the community is invited. It's going to be very fun.
Q: So, you're always thinking of new things?
A: I am. Before I opened On the Way, I expanded other small businesses. I added a Baskin-Robbins inside a gas station in Santa Ana and a Subway at another gas station in that area. I also brought a U.S. Post Office inside a Circle K I managed in Riverside. I like to provide a wonderful shopping experience to people.
Q: You've had a lot of retail experience, right?
A: I have more than 10 years of franchised retail experience with different companies, expanding small businesses into multi-businesses. I have a bachelor's degree in business management from Middle East University in Beirut. I came to the United States because I saw this as the land of opportunity. I want to be as successful as I can, but not just for myself. I want to share that success with other people and keep giving back to the community.
Q: Any plans for expansion?
A: My plan is to find investors that see the vision of growth in making On the Way Liquor and Convenience Store a multi-business company here in Fountain Valley. I have lots of ideas and experience to put behind those ideas. I came to the United States in 2006 from Jounieh, Lebanon and officially became a citizen of the United States earlier this year. When I was young, I saw this country as the land of opportunity. It was always my dream to come here, and now that I have, I want to share this opportunity with as many people as I can.

For the occasion, Pippa looked lovely as ever in a floral-print dress — we love the mix of cream and pink. For her accessories, she added a white fascinator hat, nude pumps, a matching clutch, and a few gold jewels. While you may not have the need for a fascinator in your future, you can definitely get behind Pippa's pretty floral dress for all your Summer soirees — and her neutral add-ons will surely get plenty of wear.

that is fantastic, what a find, have fun
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
that is fantastic, what a find, have fun
That's awesome! You can get great stuff on CL if you're patient.
What a super deal! You are so lucky to be getting a room of your own. Your patience will pay off.
"The business of life is making memories. In the end, it is all we have." Butler Charlie Carson, Downton Abbey, season 4, episode 3, PBS.
Sweet! You must have thought they were built just for you!
Oh you lucky one! I would so love to have my fabric stored in something like this...
Lucky you! Great storage. Thanks for sharing, we'll be waiting for pics!
Country 1
What a beautiful score!
Excellent! Beautiful cabinets!
I posted about about my lower kitchen cabinets that are actually top cabinets...not as deep as the tradional lower cabinets. We had to do this to extend cabinets to the end of the wall and to still allow room for the pantry door to open. Interestingly, a kitchen designer refused to do this....we did it ourselves! I store my casserole dishes and stacked bowls in them. No rummaging behind stuff. If i were to make a wall of cabinet storage in my sewing room, i would stack them! ( secured to the wall of course! ). I have plenty of horizontal space as it is. Perfect!
Enjoy your new space!

Monte Carlo is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. Near the western end of the quarter is the world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo "an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth". It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, the Café de Paris, and the Salle Garnier (the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo).

The Horse Forum
- Horse Colors and Genetics
- - technically solid or colored? (pic heavy)
technically solid or colored? (pic heavy) hey guys! So I've always wondered about whether my miniature Sour would be registered as a solid or a colored horse. She's chestnut, but has a sort of mealy grey muzzle, lighter legs, and three dime sized white circles on her back right where a dorsal stripe would be. Her dam was a pinto, and her father is brown. Her mane is a few shades lighter than her coat like a true chestnut, but her tail is mostly a dark brown, with some grey, black, and flaxen mixed in. Here are a few pictures. Sorry they arent very good. http://i56.tinypic.com/e8omeh.jpg http://i53.tinypic.com/9hrtiv.jpg http://i53.tinypic.com/k3qjq0.jpg http://i54.tinypic.com/2nv4coo.jpg http://i54.tinypic.com/14y1l07.jpg |
In the Uk not she wouldnt. as there isnt enought white. |
They are big enough for her to be considered coloured. However, being along her spine like that, with no other while present, I would wonder if they weren't from old injuries to be honest. How long have you had her? |
I saw her about ten minutes after being born, and they were present at that time, so I'm not sure about it being from injuries. It is strange though, that they're along her spine. I was actually really suprised to find them. She has one quarter sized spot on the inside of her left leg, also. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. It dissapears when she has her winter coat- just because of all of the fuzz. |
If they were present at birth, then she is coloured :) |
I've never heard of such a thing, but at the same time, I'd suspect they were from injuries or malformations in utero. |
hmmm. Do you think a chiropractor could tell me if she has anything wrong with her spine in those areas? She never appears to be in pain or stiff from it, but she does crowhop fairly often when she's cantering on a lunge line. Maybe I ought to look into that. |
I honestly have no idea. I've just never seen white marks there that weren't caused by scarring of some form or another. |
The greying around her muzzle is just mealing, and doesn't make her colored :) The spots on her back, I would suspect they were from an injury or a rub of some sort :/ Either way the two main mini registries probably would not register her as colored if you sent those pictures in with papers. My mare has two fist sized paint spots on her belly (true paint, pink skin etc) and they consider her solid. |
I didn't figure that the tail or the mealing would make a difference, but figured I'd add it anyways. I'll probably just assume she's solid then. One more question. She's in foal to her sire (horrible, but nothing I can do about it x.x) and is due soon. Do you guys think theres any chance that her foal might be colored? Her sire has thrown one colored foal and three solids (one chestnut, two brown) and her mother (the baby's granddam) has thrown all colored except for Sour (which made me wonder inthe first place about those white spots) what do you think the chances are? not at all, or...? I decided to schedual a chiropractic evaluation for her on the 25th, just to be on the safe side- since now that I think about it, that misbehaving on the lunge line could definately be from pain, and since she's about to foal, I'd hate for her to be in any unnecessary discomfort. |

Like your hip-hop gully and rugged? Good, because that's exactly what you're getting here on producer Small Pro's "Spare Razor," which features the uber-gutter team of Guilty Simpson and Reef The Lost Cauze. They fire lyrical shots over the Philadelphia beatsmith's neck-breaking drums and moody walking guitars, all of which makes for one hell of a reason to check out his Gigantic Vol. 1 compilation. It's due out Jan. 24, but just go ahead and keep "Spare Razor" on repeat while you wait. Don't be too shocked if you get the feeling to go out and rob someone, though. Just don't blame me.

Booz Allen Fires Snowden
Didn't Edward Snowden quit when he leaked top-secret documents and fled to Hong Kong? In any case, his former employer Booz Allen Hamilton fired him yesterday. "Snowden, who had a salary at the rate of $122,000, was terminated June 10, 2013, for violations of the firm's code of ethics and firm policy," the company said in a statement. "We will work closely with our clients and authorities in their investigation of this matter." Snowden, 29, had worked at Booz Allen for less than three months, stationed in Hawaii.

> The John Report: The WWE Raw Deal 05/28/12
Posted by
John Canton
on 05/29/2012 at 12:51 AM
This was written live this week.
Live from New Orleans, LA this is the Raw Deal...
The show began with a video montage for the troops in honor of Memorial Day in the United States of America.
There was a video package highlighting the match at Over The Limit that featured the Big Show heel turn and his new feud with John Cena. How many times have we seen this video package with Big Show crying and then the heel turn? They sure love this video package.
No Nickelback song to start us off. Instead it's Big Show in a suit. Big Show was talking about how he doesn't have to smile anymore is because he has an iron clad contract. Crowd chanted for "Cena" as he spoke. They also chanted "what?" to try to frustrate him. He just looked on with a serious look on his face. Show said he was "set for life" thanks to his big contract. He said he's not an entertainer. He's a giant. He talked about how there's no competition from the NFL, NBA or UFC that is in his league. Nobody in WWE either. I guess we have to forget about all the losses in his career. He showed a clip from two weeks ago after he was crying on his knees and Brodus Clay was out there dancing. Then he yelled "dancing" because he was so mad about it. He said nobody cared after he cried because it was easy to move on. Finally he brought up John Cena. He thought he was going to fight for his friend Big Show. He thought Cena would try to get the locker room to hire him back. Instead, John Cena did this…and we got the video package of Cena saying "loser" at Laurinaitis. This is a good (not great) promo by Big Show. At least there is storyline continuity and logic behind his heel turn.
Show bragged about how he knocked Cena out twice within 24 hours (last Sunday and Monday). He called himself an unstoppable giant. Again, we should forget about all the losses in his career. He referenced Cena's loss to Rock in the biggest match of his career, his beating at the hands of Lesnar and his embarrassing loss to Laurinaitis. He said at No Way Out Cena would experience those same emotions in one match. He said all of that brought a smile to Big Show's face. He didn't really smile. Heels are evil. His music started up so he left. No interruption from Cena.
Big Show spoke for about 12 minutes. He did fine. It wasn't the greatest promo ever or anything like that, but he did a good job of explaining his motives and why he turned. All I ask is for heel turns to make sense. This one does. So thanks for that, WWE. I'm surprised we didn't see Cena interrupt. It's rare for a promo to open the show without interruption.
They announced Punk vs. Bryan for later. Non-title. Why would you not advertise this? Also Santino in a match coming up next.
Back from break, Ricardo Rodriguez was in the ring to introduce Alberto Del Rio for his match against Santino. Del Rio entered in a Bentley that cost $150,000 according to Cole. I enjoyed the Santino/Ricardo match on Smackdown. Good comedy showcase from both guys. Santino is the funniest guy in WWE, but Ricardo has excellent comedic skills too. Del Rio won the Number One Contendership for the World Title on Smackdown. Nice pop for Santino's entrance.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Santino
Santino went for the Cobra after about 45 seconds. Del Rio countered. He put him in the Cross Armbreaker. Santino tapped quickly. The match didn't even last one minute.
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
After the match, Del Rio ripped the cobra off Santino's arm. Then Ricardo taunted Santino by saying Alberto's name right in his face.
NR No rating for that squash. They need to get the US Title off Santino if he's going to lose in less than a minute after one move. Titles should have value. This one does not.
Backstage, Alex Riley was talking to Eve. He was sucking up to her when Big Show suddenly walked up. Eve said Show could pick his opponent for later. Riley tried to suck up to him. Show said he's not picking him, but there's a message he wants to send to the locker room. He threw Riley into the wall. End scene.
Big Show is mean now. Got it.
Back from break, we saw a shot of Bourbon Street in New Orleans. That's on the list of cities I need to visit soon. Not this year. Maybe next year.
The tag titles on the line next as R-Truth & Kofi Kingston made their entrance. Their opponents are Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler, who got a title shot because Vickie used her managerial skills (her words) to get them another shot. This is a rematch from Over The Limit.
Tag Team Titles: Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs. Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler w/Vickie Guerrero
Cole mentioned that "Alex Riley" was the number one trend on Twitter. Congrats for that. Truth avoided a Swagger charge, so Jack went flying to the floor. Then they hit a double dropkick on Ziggler to knock him to the floor. There's your vintage floor to commercial spot one minute into the match.
Back from break, the heels were in control of Kingston. Guerrero was screaming, so she was doing her usual thing. Kingston got the hot tag to Truth rather easily. Truth got a rollup on Swagger followed by a DDT for two thanks to Ziggler making the save. Cross body by Kingston on Ziggler. Swagger went for a rollup, but that only got two. Truth threw him into the corner and hit the Little Jimmy finisher for the win after 7 minutes. We only saw four minutes.
Winners: R-Truth & Kofi Kingston
*1/2 Like I said we only saw four minutes of it, so too short to be that good. I like all four guys, but this felt like a filler tag match.
After the match, Ziggler walked away saying he was better than this. Good. These guys need to change their gimmicks a bit.
Backstage, a doctor was helping Santino backstage. They walked into Big Show. Doctor bailed like a coward. Show grabbed Santino by the face. Brodus Clay showed up. He told Show to pick him and said he would give him something else to cry about. Show said okay. Show told him to forget about dancing because after tonight he won't be walking. The girls showed up after Big Show left. Finally Brodus has a big match.
They plugged Punk vs. Bryan for later.
Finally some development of characters. Ziggler may break free from his team with Swagger and Clay is finally stepping up to face a bigger name opponent. I liked both of those things.
The "Did You Know?" was about the Be A Star initiative. Are we going to get "Stand Up for WWE" commercials soon? Linda McMahon has another campaign coming up.
The GM John Laurinaitis entered the arena along with Executive Administrator Eve and associate David Otunga. Cole ran down the list of all of Johnny's bogus injuries. He came out in his motorized scooter. They went down to the ring. Laurinaitis went into the ring with the assistance of his crutch as well as Eve & Otunga.
Laurinaitis said he had some announcements. We will get Show vs. Clay. To ensure no interference between Big Show and John Cena it will now be a steel cage match. We already knew that since No Way Out was announced as a show with steel cage match "main events." Laurinaitis then revealed the cover of WWE '13 that comes out at the end of October. It was a picture of him. That's not the real cover of course, so the crowd hated it. It was a cheesy pic on the cover. Suddenly, CM Punk's music started up.
The WWE Champion CM Punk got a nice ovation. He was in his ring gear with WWE Title in hand, so I would guess that his match with Daniel Bryan is coming up shortly. Punk mentioned Pacman, which Laurinaitis brought up during his speech. Punk said Pacman like Laurinaitis has no balls. Punk said the person on the actual cover of WWE '13 is a whole lot better looking than Laurinaitis. All of a sudden a banner was revealed from the rafters with CM Punk on the actual cover of WWE '13. It's a pic of him with his arms crossed in the X motion. Punk: "A wrestling video game with an actual wrestler on the cover." What about Orton last year? Oh well. He told Laurinaitis to take the hoeski and Carlton out of the ring. Nice job with the Carlton reference. Punk said the Board of Directors was watching Laurinaitis, so he should get out of the ring. He left along with Eve and Otunga. Punk put the Laurinaitis poster in the corner. Then he kicked it. They went to break as we are about to reach the top of hour two.
Nobody believed Laurinaitis was really on the cover except for Jerry Lawler, who is produced like a bigger mark than a five year old kid. Punk was good here. Laurinaitis was fine. As long as he's not overused I can handle him. During the build for the Cena match he was used too much and I couldn't take it. In small doses, such as in this instance, he is fine with me. Now I'm ready for Bryan vs. Punk after a first hour that really lacked excitement.
Please be sure to "Like"
TJRWrestling.com on Facebook
. It was just launched on Monday, so check it out.
Back from break, Cole and Lawler plugged that WWE '13 would be on the front page of IGN.com on Tuesday.
Daniel Bryan made his entrance. As I said this is a non-title match. Nice "neaux neaux neaux" sign in the crowd. I guess that's the Lousiana spelling of "no." I like that. They replayed the clip from Smackdown when Daniel Bryan went after Kane with a steel chair. I find it odd that they are making Kane a sympathetic character after the whole "embrace the hate" heel act earlier in the year.
CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan
I can't believe they failed to advertise this before the show. It's a big match. You need to promote it. They had a lot of quick exchanges early on with neither guy really getting the advantage. They did a few spots where each guy got some pinfall attempts. Punk gave him a backbreaker for two. Bryan came back with a knee to the face off the top rope. Bryan gave him a dropkick that sent Punk to the floor. Bryan missed a baseball slide dropkick on the floor. Punk hit a springboard crossbody. All of a sudden AJ showed up wearing a CM Punk shirt. Is she smitten or is she there to fool Punk? Oh those crazy chicks you just never know. Punk rolled Bryan back into the ring so that's a bit of a floor to commercial spot.
Back from break, Punk missed a crossbody off the top as Bryan let him dive all the way to the mat. Bryan nailed a running dropkick in the corner. Lawler talked about how AJ was tiny, frail & fragile. He said she shouldn't be this close to the ring. She's a contracted WWE wrestler. Why do they talk about her like she's never been near a ring before? Because the announcers are horrible, that's why. Bryan hit a nice suplex on Punk for two followed by a hold on Punk's left arm. Punk countered it and that gave him some breathing room. Punk came back with a side kick to the jaw followed by a neckbreaker for two. Punk's running knee in the corner led to the bulldog that Bryan countered. Punk ended up rolling him up for two. Punk hit a springboard clothesline for two. Punk went to the top. Bryan countered by crotching Punk along the top rope. Bryan hit a superplex for two as the camera focused on AJ looking on with a concerned look on her face. Bryan went to expose the turnbuckle. AJ jumped on the apron to tell the ref. Bryan told her to get down. Punk hit a roundhouse kick on Bryan for two. Punk didn't want her to be down there. Punk charged in the corner. Bryan caught him and drove Punk's head into the turnbuckle. Bryan covered for the win at 16 minutes.
Winner: Daniel Bryan
Post match, Kane showed up with a chair. He hit Bryan in the ribs with it. Then Kane gave Bryan a chokeslam on the chair. Kane looked at Punk. AJ gave Punk the chair, so he used it to attack Kane before Kane could hit him. Punk stood tall in the ring. He stared at AJ after the match although we couldn't tell if he was really thankful.
***3/4 This was your usual awesome match between these two. It didn't really get into that next gear to make it a truly special contest like their Over The Limit match, but it was still awesome stuff. I love the amount of counter wrestling holds they do every time they wrestle. The chemistry is so good. The decision was interesting because Bryan won relatively clean although it was thanks to the turnbuckle. Punk lost because he was distracted by AJ, who also distracted the ref accidentally.
I'm hoping that at No Way Out we'll get Punk vs. Bryan in singles again. I wouldn't be shocked if it became a triple threat match with Kane, though. That seems to be where we're headed.
Cole mentioned that Clay had 22 matches and 22 victories as they mentioned his match with Show later on.
Regarding the Chris Jericho's suspension, I wrote about it in great detail in
Monday Headlines on TJRWrestling
. I also included a really hot pic of Maryse just because I'm nice like that.
Back from break, Christian made his entrance. Cody Rhodes was at ringside. While he did that, the announcers mentioned Jericho's suspension from what happened in Brazil. They didn't talk about it much except to say go visit WWE.com. The Miz entered as the opponent of Christian.
Christian vs. The Miz
Rhodes said that Christian sat on the fence between classic and contemporary, which was another way of saying that Christian is old. Miz hit a double axe on Christian followed by a chinlock. I'm a huge Christian fan, but the crowd is pretty dead here. Christian fought of the hold and hit a dropkick off the middle rope. Miz charged, Christian jumped over him and hit a reverse DDT. Christian signaled for a Spear, but Miz countered with a boot to the face for two. Cody: "Miz is as dangerous as ever." That's a lie. Rhodes was mad at the announce table, so he stood up after Christian hit a back elbow off the middle rope. Miz kocked him off the ropes while Rhodes left. Miz missed his corner clothesline and that set up Christian for the Killswitch. That's not his finisher anymore. His new finisher is going to the top rope for the Frog Splash. He hit that and covered for the win after 5 minutes.
Winner: Christian
*1/4 It was a good short match. Nobody believes in anything Miz does anymore. He'll be gone for most of June to film The Marine 3 so it's no surprise that he lost clean. The Christian/Rhodes feud will likely lead to another PPV match, so that's nice to see.
In the GM office, Eve sent Teddy to get her coffee. Laurinaitis mentioned that he was tough because he took Cena's STF for ten seconds twice during the match. Remember when I mentioned that in my writeup? I'm just saying. Otunga wanted a match with Sheamus, so Laurinaitis booked it. Then Laurinaitis left after saying he wants to see Otunga and Eve do a better job. Teddy came back with the coffee. Eve spit it out and left. He said it was supposed to be cold because it was iced coffee. Comedy fail.
In the ring, The Miz was still in the ring. He complained about how he doesn't have an iron clad contract. He complained about how he is not on the cover of WWE '13. He said he wasn't going to leave unless he got a title shot. Randy Orton's music hit. He walked into the ring. Miz kept talking. Orton gave him a RKO. Cole said that "Orton shocked everybody" with that RKO. How did it shock anybody that he walked right in the ring and gave a RKO? That's what he does. I hate how stupid the announcers are all the time.
What a waste of time segment.
Backstage, Dolph Ziggler looked on with Vickie Guerrero. He told her she needs to get him out of the tag team. He wants to be in the ring by himself like that. She said she would see what she could do. Is this the start of a Ziggler/Orton feud? Yes please. I would love that as a singles match at No Way Out.
They mentioned Big Show vs. Brodus Clay later.
Meanwhile backstage, Sheamus was walking towards the ring for his squashing against Otunga.
I forgot to point out that Cole and Lawler were in different seats today. Is that big news? No, but I'm telling you anyway.
John Cena narrated a video package about Memorial Day. It was a video package highlighting the military as well as WWE's relationship with them.
"Oh ay oh…oh ay oh!" That's the theme song of David Otunga. I actually like the song. It's the best part of an Otunga match because he's below average in the ring and he has far too much baby oil on his body. Sheamus entered to a pretty big pop. With another match to follow and with it being 10:45pmET I'd expect this to be short. They recapped the finish of the Otunga/Orton/Kane three way from Smackdown that Del Rio won. After the win, Sheamus attacked Del Rio at the top of the ramp. Then we saw the graphic for Sheamus vs. Del Rio for the World Title at No Way Out.
Sheamus vs. David Otunga
Otunga drove Sheamus into the corner and then hit a clothesline. That's one of his three moves. Otunga hit a shoulderblock for two. Otunga hit Sheamus with clubbing blows in the corner. Then he posed, which obviously set up the Sheamus comeback. Sheamus hit him with clubbing blows of his own followed by the ten punch count while Otunga was tied up in the ropes. Sheamus hit the White Noise move, which is a move he's used as a finisher recently. Instead of pinning him, he set up in the corner for the Brogue Kick. He connected with the Brogue Kick for the win after two minutes.
Winner: Sheamus
After the win, they showed a kid in the crowd that looked like a mini Sheamus. That was freaky.
NR Much like Del Rio earlier, a squash match win for the World Champion. Otunga is a jobber again.
Backstage, Brodus Clay was looking happy as he walked to the ring with his dancers.
Back from break, we were reminded of the John Cena/Big Show match at No Way Out inside a Steel Cage. We get another video package of last week, which Cole called the darkest moment in WWE history. That's so lame. It's also lame that we have to see the Big Show video package again.
We got the full entrance of Brodus Clay, Cameron and Naomi. Cole mentioned he's 22-0 since arriving in WWE. It should be pointed out that it's the dancing Brodus that is undefeated not the previous version of Brodus that was undefeated.
Big Show stood at the top of the ramp with a microphone. He referenced when he put on a diaper to compete against Akebono. He said he did embarrassing things for the sake of business while Brodus does embarrassing things nightly. Brodus walked out of the ring. Show referenced Doink the Clown because I guess one of the writers was watching some WWF tape from the mid-90s. "The difference between you and Doink is that Doink actually had talent."
Big Show speared Brodus while they were outside the ring. Show threw Clay into the ring post face first. Then Show shoved Clay back first into the ring post. Show cleared the announce table. Suddenly, Kingston & Truth ran out. Show caught Kingston, who was leaping at him, and he threw Kingston into Truth like they were a couple of jobbers instead of the tag champs. Show broke the announce table with his foot. Show took a piece of the announce table. He hit Brodus in the back with it. The match never started, so they can say Brodus is still undefeated. Show hit Brodus in the back three times. The announcers left the commentary table so they let the pictures do the talking.
Show picked up Truth. He threw him back first into the ring ropes. Kingston went for Trouble in Paradise. Show caught him. Show threw Kingston through a security wall around the ringside area. Show threw Truth into the ring steps. Brodus got back to his knees, so Show KNOCKED HIM THE f*** OUT~! Brodus was out. Somebody call his momma. Finally Cole talked again as they showed replays of Show destroying these three guys.
The show ended with Big Show looking mean at ringside. No sign of John Cena anywhere. Show walked up the ramp where he met up with Laurinaitis who raised his hand. Cole said that Cena would return to Raw next week as the show came to a close.
There was no match. Brodus is still undefeated. Meanwhile, Big Show is a really mean man that doesn't care about anybody else except himself. The three guys took some nice bumps to put over just how physical Big Show is.
Three Stars of the Show
1. Daniel Bryan - Just like last week.
2. CM Punk - Him too.
3. Big Show - He was featured so much that he has to be one of the stars.
The Scoreboard
4.5 out of 10
Last week: 5.5
2012 Average: 5.89
2012 High: 9 (January 30)
2012 Low: 3.5 (May 14)
Last 5 Weeks: 5.5, 3.5, 6, 5.5, 4
Final Thoughts
The majority of that 4.5 rating goes to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, who put on a great wrestling match for the 15 minutes they were given.
I liked most of what Big Show did. With that said, could you imagine if they developed a younger wrestler like that? It could be huge.
It was a bad week for matches other than Punk/Bryan. We got a number of contests that were essentially squash matches. The US Champ (Santino in case you forgot) lost in about one minute. The tag team champions won their match, but then they got destroyed by one guy who had no problem hurting them.
At no point in the show did they say that Cena would be absent. I'm guessing there were likely some fans watching that figured he'd come out for the save in the main event. It didn't happen. He was a part of the video package about the troops. Other than that it was a Cena free edition of Raw.
The one thing that I'm happy about is that Ziggler may finally break out to become a true star soon. There were some early signs of it. I don't expect him to go babyface, nor should he, but by mentioning Randy Orton that's a good thing for him. I know he got the CM Punk feud to start the year. Nobody believed in him, then. A feud with Orton could do him wonders. The matches would be amazing too.
My ratings for the four Raw episodes in May were 6, 3.5, 5.5 and this 4.5. That's an average of 4.9 out of 10. It's not a good sign. Like I say every week May is traditionally one of the worst booked months of the year. Bring on June. Aside from Punk/Bryan at Over The Limit May was a very forgettable month for WWE.

The princes of payroll
When the NBA and NBA Players Association negotiated a collective bargaining agreement in 1999, it signaled the beginning of the end to runaway spending by team owners.
The new deal put a ceiling on individual salaries for veterans, included a pay scale for rookies and helped protect the owners from themselves.
Via a grandfather clause, Minnesota's Kevin Garnett and the Los Angeles Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal will be eligible for 5 percent annual raises when their contracts expire. That could keep them more well paid than players restricted to maximum contracts under the current labor agreement.
But soon we'll see the younger stars bound by today's rules Ñ Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Jermaine O'Neal and so on Ñ holding most of the game's biggest paychecks, though at more reasonable figures.
Portland has the largest payroll for 2002-03 at nearly $106 million, considerably more than the $90 million doled out by the Blazers last season.
New York is second this season at $94 million, more than $20 million ahead of Dallas, which will pay its players about $73 million.
The NBA luxury tax will kick in at 'somewhere in the lower $50 millions,' says a league official. The amount will be determined after the season.
Teams will be taxed dollar for dollar for spending over the threshold. If the figure were set at $53 million, for instance, Portland would be assessed a tax of $53 million.
The Blazers are paying three salaries in the top 10 this season: Scottie Pippen ($19.7 million), Rasheed Wallace ($16.2 million) and Shawn Kemp. The Blazers bought out Kemp's contract during the summer, agreeing to pay him about $14 million this season and $16.5 million next season. Kemp also is being paid $1.03 million this season by his current team, Orlando.

Xerox is offering managed service tools for enterprises that want to reduce the costs of remote printing.
Xerox has added features to its Mobile Print app and bundled more security and audit tools so the app can be easily incorporated within existing managed print services in enterprises, the company said Monday. From PCs or mobile devices, users will be able to print documents at remote locations, but the cost and volume of the printing will be monitored by managed-print service administrators.
The features and tools are part of Xerox's "next-generation managed printing services strategy," said Mike Feldman, president of Large Enterprise Operations at Xerox. The strategy revolves around improving print security, reducing costs, and better utilizing printing and imaging devices in an infrastructure.
Enterprises will be able to track, report and manage documents printed at public locations such as UPS stores, Feldman said. It's more expensive to print documents at public locations, but companies will be able to better assess costs and negotiate better contracts on such services, Feldman said.
Xerox already had a mobile print strategy, but now is also weaving in more audit and security features so cloud printing fits easily into managed print services infrastructures at enterprises. Enhancements to the Mobile Print app include the ability to securely print from SD cards and using maps to find authorized printers globally, Feldman said. System administrators will be able to track the type of document being printed and enable secure printing.
Remote printing services have been available through companies like Hewlett-Packard and Google, but Xerox is extending it to enterprise print services, Feldman said.
Xerox is also offering "production assessment" services so that using a set of tools customers can analyze paper volume and types of equipment, and get recommendations on how to cut costs and improve utilization of printers and copiers.
Customers can also test printing and imaging infrastructure to meet specific security policies through a new Print Security Audit tool. The tool checks the security of connected devices, printers and documents in a managed print infrastructure. For example, the tool can send alerts to ensure passwords on connected devices are changed every 90 days. The security tool also can be used for cloud printing services.
Xerox for the first time is also offering to take over the management of print services from enterprises, Feldman said. The company manages entire IT operations for many companies, but Feldman said it can manage only print services for companies that want to manage IT internally. The printer server management service is available in western European countries immediately and will be available in the U.S. by the end of next year's first quarter.
All of the other products and services are immediately available in the U.S., Canada, western Europe and some other emerging markets.

November 2013
More than half of heroin-addicted patients treated with naltrexone via an implanted delivery device maintained abstinence throughout a 6-month clinical trial in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The implant device, which releases a steady dose of naltrexone continuously for 2 months, averted relapse to heroin use three times as effectively as daily oral doses of the medication.

A trial of buprenorphine/naloxone (Bup/Nx) showed no evidence that the medicine was associated with liver damage. The drug gave results similar to those of methadone. The study data indicate that although most patients can be treated safely with either methadone or Bup/Nx without major concern for liver injury, clinicians are advised to continue to monitor the liver health of their patients who are on methadone or Bup/Nx therapy.

Microneedles are an innovative technique for delivering medications through the skin, a route that could particularly benefit patients receiving naltrexone therapy for opioid and alcohol dependence. Researchers have found a way to use the transdermal technique to deliver a single treatment of naltrexone that lasts for 7 days.
Active drug use before incarceration was associated with decreased engagement in HIV treatment among HIV-infected jail detainees. The severity of drug dependence correlated with worsening measures of engagement in HIV treatment. The study concludes that evidence-based treatment for drug abuse in jails may result in improved HIV treatment outcomes, which in turn could help slow HIV-transmission rates in the United States.
