In the ring, U.S. wrestler in Mexico feeds off anti-Trump sentiment
Sam Polinsky, an American wrestler working in Mexico, dresses as a Trump supporter as he enters the ring of 'Arena Mexico' and whips crowds into a frenzy with his act. Jillian Kitchener reports.
Sam Polinsky wanted a change. So the Pittsburgh-native moved to Mexico last April as Donald Trump was rising in the primaries. Now he's known as Sam Adonis -- a wrestler who has purposely tapped into resentment over Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric and plans for a border wall. He says entering the ring as a Trump supporter riles up the lucha libre fans. And he loves it. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. LUCHA LIBRE WRESTLER, SAM ADONIS, SAYING: "I hear it all. The Mexican fans are screaming the worst expletives they can at me. They're throwing beers at me; they're throwing popcorn at me. They're just overwhelmingly resentful to me as possible but as soon as the show is over, generally they like to get a picture with me and generally they like to have an autograph for their kid." Adonis is a performer on stage. But says when it comes to Trump, the president is the real deal. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. LUCHA LIBRE WRESTLER, SAM ADONIS, SAYING: "I can't say I support Trump, but I definitely respect Trump. I respect the fact that he is who he is and he's not changing himself for anybody. He's decided to be one person and whether you like him or not, he's himself. And I think there's a lot to say about that." Differences collide in and out of the ring. Trump insists that Mexico will pay for the Wall while Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has repeatedly said that won't happen. But for this wrestler, the show must go on.

A plethora of Kray twins memorabilia will be going on sale at an auction house in Hertfordshire.
The letters and paintings which were collected by close friend Laurie O'Leary who grew up next door to Ronnie and Reggie Kray.
Toby Service, of Brightwells auctioneers, told the BBC: "There are lots of letters that give an insight into what they were thinking when they were in prison."
Also listed are photographs of the gangsters and signed pictures of celebrities who became friendly with them.
In one of the letters to a friend, Reggie wrote from prison: "Don't worry about me, I'm fit and strong...I am relaxed as one can be in prison....Don't look back...regrets - we all have regrets - be positive..." also attached is a picture of a cowboy sketched by Reggie himself.
One of the paintings, an oil painting of a cottage by a pond, comes accompanied by a handwritten letter by Ronnie, who struggled with handwriting, spelling and grammar.
It reads: "Thank you for comeing to see us. It was a very nice viset, and how good it was not to talk about crime. Please give our best wishes to Alf and Marc [Bolan] and would you tell Marc that I will do him a painting. He will have it soon... In October we have done 5 and a half years. God Bless from Ron."
Brightwells is hoping that the items collectively will fetch between £15,000 and £20,000 as the Kray twins, to this day, continue to have a cult following.
The Krays were jailed for life in 1969 for the murders of underground figures Jack "the Hat" McVitie and George Cornell.
Ronnie Kray died at the age of 61 after a heart attack and Reggie died five years later from cancer after being given compassionate leave following his diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Academic journal article Journalism History
Book Reviews -- the Significance of the Media in American History Edited by James D. Startt and Wm. David Sloan
Article excerpt
Startt, James D., and Wm. David Sloan, eds. The Significance of the Media in American History. Northport, AL: Vision Press, 1994. 382 pp. $24.95.
Though many media studies set out to show the impact of the media on American society, the rest of the academy frequently treats journalism merely as a conduit by which the truly significant figures--politicians and business people--can feed information to the public.
James Startt and David Sloan have edited a persuasive volume in which thoughtful media historians have developed studies, built on solid scholarship, testing the media's influence on American society. The book is a worthwhile investment for the introduction alone, where the editors describe clearly and in detail the development of journalism history as a field of study and its current position in the academic community.
The articles include Karen List's essay showing the prescriptive nature of the media's view of "woman's place," using as evidence the women's magazines of the New Republic. James Startt shows how the film news media influenced Americans toward the Allies in World War I, popularizing the war effort but creating an overly idealistic view of its ultimate goal (a "war to end all wars"). The book is wide-ranging, with studies of the diffusion of radio, the "selling" of the American revolution to the colonists, the use of the media to build both geographic and ideological communities, and the use of the media to link science, progress, and democracy as mutually dependent ideals. Perhaps the most entertaining chapter is Bruce Evensen's look at the media and the American character, which he epitomizes in Roaring Twenties newspaper coverage of boxing as a sport. …

Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei Casts His Vote in Tehran
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in the early hours of Friday morning, cast his vote for the fifth round of Assembly of Experts and tenth parliamentary election in Tehran.
In the opening hour of the voting, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei cast his ballots at a polling station in downtown Tehran. The Supreme Leader attended the polling station No. 110 and casted his votes.
In a message to the nation, Ayatollah Khamenei called on all Iranians to participate in the elections, saying "voting is both a right and a duty."
"Anybody who loves Iran; anyboyd who loves the Islamic Republic and national dignity, grandeur and glory is advised to participate in the elections," the Leader said.
Ayatollah Khamenei also recommended the voters to cast their ballots with the dignity and independence of the country on their minds.
"The enemies have their covetous eyes trained on Iran. People are advised to vote with discretion and foresight and disappoint the enemies," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
Around 55 million Iranians are eligible to vote in the two elections.
As many as 4,844 candidates, including about 500 women, are competing for a place in the Parliament, head of the Interior Ministry's election headquarters Mohammad Hossein Moqimi said on Thursday.
In the capital Tehran, some 1,000 candidates compete for 30 parliamentary seats. Five seats also go to the religious minorities recognized in the Iranian Constitution, namely Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians.

American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez has admitted she isn't familiar with Cheryl Cole's work.
Geordie Cole, 27, has been trying to establish a name for herself in Los Angeles in the hope she will nab a spot on the judging panel of the new US X Factor.
Lopez, 41, told Fabulous magazine: 'Ah, someone mentioned her to me yesterday.? She's a singer, right?? ?
'I don't know too much about her, I don't know her music.?I'd be happy to learn about it!'
The Get On The Floor singer has been busy working on American Idol so admits she hasn't had time to congratulate Victoria Beckham on her pregnancy.
She added: 'I haven't seen Victoria for a while – I have been super-busy and so has she.
'But I've heard she's having a girl and I'm very excited! I know that's something she wanted so I'm thrilled for her and Dave.'

After the survey monkey limit was reached, I was no longer able to see your anonymous questions. SO...if you asked a question that is not listed here, that means I didn't get to see it :-(
A few things...
-I got some repeats/similar questions so I tried to categorize those together.
-I don't know all the answers to life...just remember that and try and give me grace if you don't agree with my answers! :-)
-THANK YOU for the compliments! I did not list them here, but they are stored away in my heart :-)
1. To whom or what do you attribute your creativity? / How does one get the creative gene...the ability to see things differently than how they are?
I think everyone is creative, it's just expressed in different ways. I may be able to pull together decorating a living room, but if you told me to write a song or knit a sweater I would have no idea where to even start.
2. What kind of dog is Gracie?
Min Pin / Jack Russell mix. Read about that discovery HERE.
3. Do you exercise regularly? If so what is a typical routine? / What is your weekly fitness routine? / How do you stay thin? / What kind of exercises do you do? / Do you work out or diet?
I'm kind of a yoyo exerciser. I get into seasons where I work out frequently and others when I do not. Recently about the only exercise I do is take my dog on daily walks (which can sometimes be several miles). I would consider myself a naturally active person though -I rarely find myself sitting at home relaxing on the couch. If I am in a season where I'm working out a lot, I primarily run.
4. What's the best makeup for oily skin? I've used oil control makeup and by midday, my skin looks like an oil slick.
I have combination skin, so this is a tough question for me. I would definitely recommend Neutrogena Shine Control powder. It's translucent and provides a matte shine free finish for hours and hours.
5. What is your favorite book of the bible? Why?
Philippians. I feel it has been the most applicable to life. Through the book of Philippians, God has encouraged me to be joyful in times of hurt and brokenness, thankful in times of need or want, humble when I don't want to be.
6. Are you hoping to turn blogging into a full time career?
That would be the best! However, I'm not sure if I could ever invest enough time to get to that point. Maybe you can be my first sponsor! :-)
7. I just became engaged and I'm getting married with one year left in school once we do! What's the biggest benefit for you being married right out of college?
I am thankful I got married young and got to experience big life changes TOGETHER, like getting a new job or moving into our first home.
8. Can you do make-up tutorials? / Can you do a makeup series? / I would like to see makeup tips.
I will admit, filming in front of a camera is kind of awkward for me!! I do love talking about makeup though, so I will try and muster up the courage to do a few more! :-)
9. Disclaimer: Please take these words as constructive criticism. The posts can often feel mundane. Can we expect upcoming post to present new and exciting ideas?
Your survey said you are a male 18-25. DIY home decor, makeup tips and puppy stories are boring to you!? Just kidding, I really am glad you are reading. I have to be honest though: I do not create projects for the sake of writing about them. I just document life. If I start writing solely for the purpose to entertain, I think this blog loses something. I truly think there is beauty in the mundane.
10. How long have you and Trent been together?
5 years (married for 11 months)
11. As a Christian, do you feel like any two Christ-centered individuals (man and woman) can be married and live a functional life? Or is there another "variable of butterflies" in the mix that many modern Christian books claim to be a product of media influence such as "The Notebook?" Essentially, is marriage a formula or is there something more? Surely it can't all be about function, can it?
I think two Christian individuals can have a successful marriage. I know that because I know God can be the center of ANY relationship if they both know Him. Anything more than two believers is just icing on the cake. But who really wants a cake without icing?
12. I would love to hear about how you and Trent are managing newlywed life! Stuff like finances, housework, buying the house...that phase is next for me and it'd be awesome to hear a "real" perspective from a modern couple!
These would be awesome to do individual blog posts on! To give you a short answer in the meantime:
Finances: We budget every penny. I hate doing it, but it's necessary to reach our goals.
Housework: It varies, but we still maintain a lot of the traditional gender roles...Trent mows the lawn and takes out trash. I clean and cook. Etc.
Buying the House: We currently rent our home, but have plans to buy a house someday!
13. What kind of Camera do you use to take your pictures?
Canon Rebel t2i ; sometimes iPhone 5
14. Are you still getting birchbox?
I have been getting Birchbox since February, but decided to cancel for the month of September. I am too behind on my samples right now! I'm sure I will start it up again before the end of the year.
15. Do you diet? / Do you work out or diet? / Are you a healthy eater?
If I am really being honest, I would have to tell you that I was given a pretty great metabolism by my parents. If you don't believe me, look at my 4 siblings. I am a consistent eater, meaning I eat 3 meals a day and don't randomly go on crazy diets where I don't eat anything for days. I think this has helped preserve my metabolism. I make other efforts to eat healthy too. I am big on portion control -I eat cookies and ice cream and chips and other unhealthy things, but I always eat them in small helpings.
Something that has REALLY helped in my efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle is KNOWING what kind of calories I'm intaking. If you have no idea how many calories the burger you are about to eat contains, just look it up on an app on your phone like "My Fitness Pal". After a month or so, you will start recognizing what's good and bad for you. Then you can adjust what you are intaking a lot easier.
16. Does Trent know he is the reacher?
I had to ask Trent what this meant. He laughed and said "Absolutely I do."
17. Good vs Bad in mind, why do you still have your dog?
HAHA! About a year or two ago, I asked myself why in the WORLD my sister-in-law would keep their beagle. He was SO BAD! Now, I feel like I understand. Regardless of how bad she is, she is still mine (read about that HERE). The only reason I would every get rid of her is if she was aggressive towards people. Luckily she is not, so it looks like we are stuck with her! ;-)
18. Is there anything good about living in Kansas?
No. You must be a Mizzou fan! haha. We came in with low expectations of Topeka, so we have actually been really pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoy it here!
19. Who was your best friend in grade school? Who would you have considered an enemy or annoyance?
I will skip last names:
BFFs: Anna, Alisha, Kaitlyn, Felicia, Krystal, Courtney etc etc
Annoyance: Stephen -he never got his hair cut so everyone called him "squirrel head"...because it looked like a squirrel was sitting on his head. I joined in on that, among other things, and promised myself I will apologize if I ever met him again later on in life.
20. How many kids do you eventually want to have? Does Trent agree? / What are your plans for future family?
We would like to wait several years to have kids. I ideally want 3, Trent wants 2. Hopefully we will be blessed with little munchkins someday.
21. What types of things do you do to grow in your relationship with Jesus? Do you have any Bible studies you would recommend?
Talking with others about God is HUGE for my spiritual growth. I get to do this at church, couples bible study and with friends I've made over the years. The book I would recommend is "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young. It's EXCELLENT for someone who isn't sure if they want to follow Jesus or someone who has been following Him for a long time. I also like anything by Francis Chan or Priscilla Shirer.
22. What's the toughest thing about marriage?
Always having to accommodate your wants and plans with someone else's. It's not all about you anymore, which has been an excellent lesson in humility for me.
23. How did you decide how physically to be involved before marriage? / Were you virgins up until marriage?
Yes, we both made a commitment based on scripture to be remain virgins until marriage before ever even dating. It is absolutely vital that BOTH of you want this, because IT IS NOT EASY. It is hard and you have to fight through together. Remaining pure until marriage has SO many benefits and has become pretty uncommon in today's society. I can attest to its benefits. I would love to talk to you personally if you want to facebook me or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com (offer is open to anyone)!
24. What is the best part about being married?
You have so many opportunities to show love to your spouse because you live with them. It's made spending time together easier because we don't have to plan something all the time to be together. But really the very best part for me is the FREEDOM OF COMMITMENT! There is freedom in commitment because you know that person will never leave you -You don't need to try to impress them and can truly be yourself.
25. How did you meet Trent?
My sister, Melody, was dating Tim, who was best friends with Trent. Tim and Melody got married, then Trent and I got married. Now Tim and Trent are brothers -their dream come true. Read more about our story HERE.
26. What is God teaching you today?
Persistence. We are in the heart of our busy season, so my job is EXTREMELY time consuming right now. God is teaching me to maintain a joyful attitude, deal with stress, and rely completely on Him for emotional support.
27. Best advise for Christian girls and dating in college?
Be patient. Even if you are in a relationship, be patient. Wait to say strong words like "I Love You". Wait to talk about marriage. Wait for physical intimacy. Rushing puts unneeded stress on the relationship. Be patient.
28. What is your favorite recipe that you make?
My mom's Tortilla Soup! I will share soon!
29. How do you share your faith with your husband? Any tips?
I think we still have a lot of learning to do in this category. Ideally we would be doing a mini bible study every night. We have tried a few, but didn't really like them. We go to church together and are/will be in a couples bible study. We are really open with each other about what we are learning, how we are hurting and we try to address hard issues as soon as possible. There isn't a routine, just when it occurs. Hopefully we will find something consistent that works well for us soon.
30. How do you find things to talk about on your blog? I can't find anything to talk about.
Sometimes I feel that way too! Like right now...when all I am really doing is working and sleeping! I would encourage you to find beauty in the mundane. What is unique about the way you live? Do you have quirks? Do you eat the same thing for breakfast every day? What kind of food do you eat? People are curious to know how others live. Even if it's simple stuff, people are interested.
31. What is Trent really like...?
HAHA! I think of Trent so highly, so I know it is so easy for me to only talk good about him. I really do try to paint a real picture of him on here, but he is honestly my favorite person in the world. For your entertainment though, a few things that drive me nuts about Trent: He never wakes up to his first alarm. Or second. Or third. Or fourth. He turns the TV up to volume 65!!! I usually watch it at like 29. He NEVER takes the expired stuff out of the fridge before trash day. Just to name a few.
32. Do you think the government is going to fall? And if so, how do you feel it will affect us as a human race? If not, why don't you think it will happen? I know this has absolutely nothing to do with your blog but you have a good insight on things and I would love to hear your opinion.
I've never been much into politics. To answer your question, all I know is that God is in control. The human race did fine before our government and I think it will do fine after.
33. Who was your best friend freshman and sophomore year of high school?
Not sure which it would be! I will skip last names:
Sarah, Katie, Ashley, Jackie
34. I'd love to hear more about where you shop.
Primary shopping spots for home decor:
-TJ Maxx
-Thrift Stores
-Tuesday Morning
-Cargo Largo (Independence, MO)
Primary shopping spots for clothing:
-TJ Maxx
-Forever 21
-Express (clearance only)
-Gap (clearance only)
-Platos Closet
35. What's the most valuable experience you've had so far in your life and why? *Note - valuable not necessarily "best"
I would probably say moving out of my parent's house and going to college. It taught me to grow up, but most importantly it exposed how wonderful my family is and how thankful I am to have grown up in the environment I did, with the people I love.
36. Have you ever thought of doing a 30 before 30 list?
Yes I have! You just encouraged me to make one!
37. Hypothetically, let's say I got a job offer from a company to start in January. If I accept that position would it be wrong of me to use the time before the position starts to continue looking for better positions? Especially considering someone from my current company took the time to introduce me to the president of this potential new company? I'm not too keen on the idea of continuing the job search after I've already accept a position, but a friend of mine says I should just keep my options open.
It's hard to answer this without asking more questions. Is it a small company that would be greatly affected if you accepted the position then turned it down? Are you confident you could find another position in an economy like this? All questions aside, some advice I was given upon graduating: "Never be so comfortable at a company that you feel that you can't leave for better opportunities - Because the company will always lay you off if they need to." I'm not saying jump ship at any and every opportunity you get, I am saying you need to do what's wise and best for your career.

Very simple to use. I purchased the yellow and green xertube for my 88 yo father. We ended up using them together. It has really helped him rebuild his strength after a very long illness. I would recommend these to anyone.
Just what I wanted. This is a good replacement to my rope that broke. I wish the handles were a little softer, I had to wrap them with Coban.
Best tubing. This is the tubing I use for my senior exercise classes. They like the firm handles and the yellow band is great for those without a lot of strength.
good. works fine just like my old one I wore out and broke
Xertube is Terrific! Xertube is great for a workout anywhere, have used them in Afghanistan during deployments. Xertube goes anywhere with you and you get a complete workout no matter where you are. Terrific product!
Excellent Exercise Equipment. I bought this Xertube a few weeks ago and I haven't stopped using it. This band has definitely brought my workouts to the next level whether I am working on shoulders or biceps. A must get for anyone looking for a simple way to boost their workout anytime.
Great Products! Bought resistance bands and figure 8 bands for my studio, Love them all!
Great Products. I ordered the purple ultra heavy duty tubes. I am a strength coach and I train world class powerlifters. I use them in assistance overload cycles. They exceeded my expectations.
By far the most durable tubing on the market. Very pleased with the durability & performance of SPRI tubing.
Great products!! Used these bands at a club and liked them so much I wanted my own set!!
Xertubes. I've been working out with these tubes for 15 years and still love them! They are so portable - I take them on vacation and they are excellent for work related trips too! You can also do outdoor workouts with them. Overall awesome product!
Been using Xertubes for many years! We use Xertubes with a senior citizen fitness class 3 days a week that's been ongoing for over 20 years. The resistance bands are great because students can create their own level of resistance by selecting different band strengths and varying the length of 'slack'. Tip: one year I ordered the soft handles thinking they would be easier for the seniors to handle, but our participants much prefer the hard handles.
Spri Xertubes. Ordered a variety of bands as wellness promotion prizes--everyone loved them!
Xertube. I've used Spri Exertubes at the gym for years. Now that I am a Certified Personal Trainer, I continue to use these tubes with most of my clients. Spri has great quality and customer service. Many of my clients are so impressed with the versatility of the tube, they order their own. They are especially great for travel!
always used and very pleased. excellent products, I've used for years and always pleased. will continue to use.
Great product! I am enjoying the Exertube. Good quality and design.
Improve on your standard routine with our line of strength training equipment. Incorporating a range of gear, including hand grips and resistance bands will speed up metabolism and build stronger muscles, while burning more calories. You can target specific upper body areas with chin-up bars or enjoy an overall aerobic workout with exercise balls that also encourage balance and coordination.

Icecycles and rainbows, what an amazing day!

Well, a big fat ciggie butt, anyway. That CAN'T be good for martial arts gaming hoo-ha or whatever all goes on in nondescript building number two over there! THINK OF THE CHILDREN, MoCap guy!

Hilton Head Island is a unique and incredibly beautiful resort town that anchors the southern tip of South Carolina's coastline. What makes this semitropical island so unique? At the top of the list is the fact that visitors won't see large, splashy billboards or neon signs. What they will see is an island where the environment takes center stage, a place where development is strictly regulated.There are 12 miles of sparkling white-sand beaches, amazing world-class restaurants, top-rated golf courses—Harbour Town Golf Links annually hosts the Heritage Golf Tournament, a PGA Tour event—and a thriving tennis commun… Read More
The island is home to several private gated communities, including Sea Pines, Hilton Head Plantation, Shipyard, Wexford, Long Cove, Port Royal, Indigo Run, Palmetto Hall, and Palmetto Dunes. Within these you'll find upscale housing (some of it doubling as vacation rentals), golf courses, shopping, and restaurants. Sea Pines is one of the most famous of these communities, as it is known for the iconic candy-cane-striped Hilton Head Lighthouse. There are also many areas on the island that are not behind security gates.

text: Piedmont King adds a deep, savory flavor to this vegetarian-friendly side dish, complemented by tangy, salty Parmigiano Reggiano. Though somewhat time-consuming, risotto's creamy, comforting texture makes it the perfect accompaniment to a hearty fall roast or simple baked chicken. Pictured here with steamed broccoli and Italian- seasoned chicken breast with black olive paste from Oilerie. Continue reading

Stuffed Animals Details
** Stuffed Rottweiler
** Tan and Black Markings
** Made by Fiesta
** 12 inch
It can be truly said that the Rottweiler is one of the world's greatest dogs. Heck, it might even be said that's something of an underdog. For a long, long time, Rotties have suffered under the supposition that they are by default mean, vicious, violent and aggressive dogs. While they are formidable, and can indeed do some serious damage if they feel they have a reason to attack, it's all a case of bad PR. So some people somewhere mistreated their Rotties. Maybe they had them in dog fights, or they committed acts of general mistreatment. The dog(s) weren't properly trained or socialized, so of course they're going to act out in the only way they know how. Oftentimes, it ends up with somebody getting hurt and the poor animal being put down. But this tragic tail..erm, tale…has a happy ending. (Can't you see it wagging?)
Rotties are aloof, yes, but they're also loyal and patient dogs. It may take them a little longer to warm up to people they don't know – they won't love on strangers indiscriminately the way a Lab will, for instance. But when you've earned their trust, you'll never find a harder worker, and a more devoted friend. They make excellent service and guide dogs. They're strong enough that they were even used as draught dogs, though the advent of the steam engine in the 19th century saw an end to that. Fiesta's big guy (all of 12 inches in height) is eager to please you, and just wants your trust. We'd say he's a sure thing, wouldn't you?
