hyukoh, goes to HIGHGRND to work..meeting with Tablo
Source: OSEN via Naver
1. [+8114, -397] Don't go crazy, coordis. Their fashion pulled us in more than their music.
2. [+4421, -245] If hyukoh band were doing even more well it would be nice to see. Fighting!!
3. [+3894, -275] Tablo and hyukoh have a really cool chemistry. Anticipating it
4. [+3679, -182] hyukoh has really good songs. His voice is really nice too
5. [+2682, -159] Cuties ㅋㅋㅋ Fightingg!!
6. [+280, -15] Hope they benefit more than Kwanghee from Infinity challenge ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+274, -38] Yoo Byungjae went out on Infinity Challenge and signed with YG, and now hyukoh also signed with YG. Daebak
8. [+245, -29] Crazy. They're even going to take care of their offices? YG must earn a lot... Labels usually provide them Hongdae performances, university concert appearances, maybe even have a world tour if they keep doing well, have their make up done, and have a place to eat, they're winning it all.. if they sign with HIGHGRND they're going to eat everyone alive.
9. [+195, -49] hyukoh kind of has the friendly faces in your family. Kind of like triplets.
10. [+339, -200] Are they really an indie band? Why do they seem like just an agency band? They're going to get a lot of media and write a bunch of songs until they explode of popularity, they won't seem like the band they were before..

Earth Sentinels: The Storm Creators by Shaman Elizabeth Herrera Press Release
Visionary Fiction: Earth Sentinels sheds light on global issues with brilliant message of hope!
The newly released novel, Earth Sentinels: The Storm Creators by Shaman Elizabeth Herrera is a "no-holds-barred piece of literary realism that is destined to become a classic model of wisdom for living harmoniously on earth," according to Mark Champion of OurHealingMatters.com, "On occasion, we all read a book that we know will mark the time of our age. Earth Sentinels' message is every bit as telling and accurate as Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451. It is a succulent portion of cold, hard truth played out with characters you share affinity with, understand and love."
"The premise of Shaman Elizabeth Herrera's novel is a timely one, as evidence is mounting that our over-reliance on fossil fuels, deforestation, genetically-engineered crops and other economically-driven, but environmentally-irresponsible, practices are posing an existential threat to the planet earth," says Kevin Joseph, Amazon Vine Voice.
Earth Sentinels begins with the fallen angel Bechard somberly observing the world being destroyed by mankind's greed, corruption and indifference. Realizing drastic measures are needed; Bechard begins searching the globe for people who might join his quest to save the planet.
It doesn't take long for the fallen angel to find 17-year-old Zachary, whose family's organic farm is being ruined by fracking; Haruto, living in Fukushima, Japan, where the nuclear meltdown is raging out of control; Mahakanta, a cotton farmer in India, who used GMO seeds with devastating results; the Amazonian tribe members, Conchita and her father, Pahtia, fighting against intruders illegally tearing down their rainforest; and the Bear Claw First Nation Tribe who are dealing with an unstoppable oil spill that is ruining their traditional hunting grounds.
Intriguing blue doors and ethereal mists beckon the characters to the spirit realm where they finally meet the mastermind Bechard to form an alliance. Excitement builds when the world's Governments are faced with the Earth Sentinels' demands, sent on behalf of Mother Earth who cannot speak for herself. As events unfurl and countries retaliate, the readers ride a roller coaster through the supernatural!
"Simply riveting! This book is a page turner to the end. Herrera has woven a cautionary tale with threads of history, revelation and hope. Bravo!" exclaimed reviewer Richard O'Shields, channel and media professional, Everyday Connection.
Laine Cunningham, award-winning author stated, "This is one of those books that's going to stand alongside classics. Drawing from Native American wisdom and the beliefs of a world filled with respect for nature and its spiritual elements, Herrera has created a global book of wisdom for a global world."
You can get your hands on a copy of Earth Sentinels: The Storm Creators at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other fine bookstores.
Author Shaman Elizabeth Herrera, is a shamanic healer and author who writes life-changing books. Her stories encourage people to stretch outside their comfort zones and reexamine their own beliefs.
She is also the author of Shaman Stone Soup, and Dreams of Dying.
Earth Sentinels: The Storm Creators, visionary fiction, 270 pages ISBN-13: 978-0692225318

Odd news from around the world
Minnesota Dog Walks Four Miles Every Day to See His Friends in Town: "For the past 12 years, a Chesapeake-Lab mix named Bruno has been regularly walking four miles (eight miles round trip) to downtown Longville from his country home to socialize, collect treats, and hang around. His almost daily commute has made Bruno a beloved town legend. "Everybody knows Bruno," resident Sharon Rouse told KARE11 News. "[You] may not know the people, but you'll know Bruno." The pup belongs to Larry and Debbie LaVallee, who took Bruno in after he appeared in a box on their driveway over a decade ago. They tried to keep him tied up, but the dog's desire to roam was too great, and he started making his way to town every day. Now, he's somewhat of a celebrity, with regular stops at city hall, the ice cream shop, and the back door of a local grocery store, where employees help Bruno fuel up with deli counter scraps. People know and greet Bruno, sometimes to the surprise of the LaVallees, who only know a fraction of their dog's many admirers"
Rare 1st century gold coin bearing the image of Roman Emperor Nero is found in Jerusalem: "Archaeologists in Jerusalem have uncovered a rare gold coin bearing the image of the Roman Emperor Nero. Coins of this type are extremely rare, and are usually only found in private collections where the origin is unknown. The image of Nero is significant because it shows the presence of the Romans in the area, 14 years before they destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD. Nero was born in 37 AD, and became emperor of the Roman Empire after the death of his adoptive father, the Emperor Claudius, in 54 AD. The coin was discovered by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, who were excavating on Mount Zion in Jerusalem"
Guggenheim's 18-karat GOLD toilet set to open to the public: "Lucky visitors to the Guggenheim in New York will be able to use a toilet that's created from 18-karat gold from Friday. While many people will work their entire lives and never see a gold fixture, the museum will allow people to 'interact' with the toilet for the price of the entrance feel, which is currently free to its members. The facilities are made available to members of the public as part of an exhibit by Italian artist and sculptor Maurizio Cattelan and are expected to be at the museum for an indefinite period. It's currently installed in one of the Guggenheim's one-person unisex bathrooms and according to the New Yorker, it's an exact replica of the facilities that had previously been installed in the cubicle"
Inside the creepy abandoned Japanese park where more than 800 lifelike statues sit amidst the overgrown shrubs: "Visitors would be forgiven for thinking they've entered Medusa's lair. Hundred of lifelike figures stare straight forwards, some dressed in suits and others imitating Buddhist deities. But the striking stone sculptures are in fact the work of a Japanese craftsman acting on the orders of an affluent local chairman called Mutsuo Furukawa. They stand near the town of Osawano in Japan in a village named Fureai Sekibutsu no Sato – which translates literally to 'the village where you can meet Buddhist statues'. Furukawa paid a reported 6 billion yen (£44million) to a Chinese sculptor in 1989 for the figures and hoped to keep them with him for all eternity. Today more than 800 motionless grey statues stare out at the bus loads of tourists who come to visit the bizarre park.
Man enjoying a sex act from his girlfriend while he drove along country road needs surgery after he swerved to avoid a deer and lover bit his penis: "A motorist ended up in hospital with a lot of explaining to do after a deer forced him to swerve as he enjoyed a sex act while driving in Austria. The man's girlfriend was pleasuring him orally from the passenger seat as they drove through the Waldviertel region in north-west Austria. But when a deer stepped out into the road near Krems the driver braked suddenly. The Local newspaper said the incident caused the girl to accidentally bite into his penis. An ambulance rushed to the scene and the couple were taken to hospital where the man, who was in agony, underwent a minor operation on his member. Surgeons assured the motorist his 'joystick' should soon be back in full working order, but they advised him against any more foreplay at the wheel.
And don't forget to catch up with all the Strange Justice before you go.

What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is an issue that affects many people; mostly occurring with women rather than men.(Yes even fashion models get Cellulite!)
It is mostly is seen on thighs, arms and the buttocks area for women and may be seen even on women who are thin. It gives the appearance of lumpy skin that does not look smooth .
It can be caused by many things, in particular poor blood circulation,lack of exercise, hormones and eating foods high in fat / carbohydrates.
What if I have Cellulite? Can I fix it?
Cellulite is very common with women, however there are many ways in which you can prevent it or help remove it without medical procedures. It takes some hard work but can be done!
Keeping the body hydrated, drinking water and eating foods that are low in fat such as lean meat, fresh fish, vegetables, and nuts, in conjunction to using a Cellulite Bristle brush is great for improving blood circulation to the skin. Exercising regularly will also help blood circulation , as well as doing exercises targeting the buttocks and thighs to firm and tone these areas.
It takes time to see results but small changes over time make great results!

Tune into WRVO's Campbell Conversations Sunday to listen as Maxwell Professor Grant Reeher interviews Randi Bregman.
Domestic abuse and sexual violence are complicated social problems, which many people have a hard time just talking about. In this edition of the Campbell Conversations, host Grant Reeher has a frank and wide-ranging discussion with Vera House executive director Randi Bregman, about the nature of the problems, the best ways to address them, and the personal experience of working with the victims.
Every week Grant Reeher, Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University, leads a conversation with a notable guest. Guests include people from central New York – writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals whose work affects the public life of the community – as well as nationally-prominent figures visiting the region to talk about their work.
The Campbell Conversations are longer interviews which encourage the character of the interviewee to be exposed. This allows you to learn more about the person, how they got to where they are, and where they plan to go. Grant attempts to go beyond the usual press conference questions and sound bites, which usually accompany a discussion about his guests.
Podcasts of the show are available via iTunes.

I got really good time on it.

I was slurping a cup of joe on my porch when Dalriada Delwood the lovely and talented designer of FireBird Designs sent me this beautiful spring outfit, so I put my coffee aside and took some pictures on my porch, why move when you have the best view in SL anyways 🙂
The cute outfit comes with a beautiful sheer blouse, a bra to cover up the twins of course, form fitting denim shorts with the matching floral print for the blouse and a loop belt, giving it just the right accent. The outfit reminds me a bit of the late 60's, carefree, simple and beautiful.

Software Defined Radios (SDR) generating VHF, UHF, and microwave signals can be used to calibrate and operate superconducting qubits with some caveats. The premise of SDR is that a high-power computer, such as an Intel-based server, computes signals to be transmitted by the SDR and processes signals received from the SDR. This usage model treats the SDR as a non-intelligent peripheral that is only capable of forwarding raw signals from a host PC to a signal generator and from a downmixer/digitizer to a host PC. This usage model requires high-bandwidth Ethernet activity, particularly when operating multiple qubits, and limits the repetition rate of qubit operations and measurements. Incorporating custom HDL into the SDR, making it more like a piece of custom measurement equipment, increases the achievable repetition rate and substantially increases communications and system reliability. This paper describes practical details of using SDRs to operate a quantum computer. This paper describes Rigetti Computing's approach and experiences using National Instruments Universal Software Radio Peripherals (USRP) to reduce the cost of implementing multi-qubit control systems.

The 2014 Fantasy Football season is over for the majority of leagues. I always like to go over the stats and take a look at how things unfolded before they become "corrupted" by meaningless week 17 stats.
1. Andrew Luck, Colts- Ends 2014 as the undisputed points champ. 420 in my league (1 point for every 25 yards throwing, 6 points for all TDs, 1 point per 10 rush yards, -1 for INT). I had Luck last year and he did well. He was nowhere close to elite like he was in 2014. I have to believe he will be elite going forward. He kind of faded in the last few weeks, but he had 3 games with 4 TDs, 3 with 3 TDs and a 5 TD game. That is pretty impressive.
2. Aaron Rodgers, Packers- Solid pro here. Still probably the best QB with the most potential. Has two all-pro quality targets in Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. If I have to take a QB in round 1, it will be tough for me to pass on him.
3. Drew Brees, Saints- I had him in 2014 and he let me down a bit, especially in week 16 vs the Falcons. You could usually count on a solid performance from Drew at home, but that wasn't always the case this year. In 2015, he will have a healthy Brandin Cooks in his 2nd year, a healthy Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills, though. I might wait and see if he slips into round 2 or even 3, depending on my draft slot.
4. Peyton Manning, Broncos- He definitely had some decline down the stretch. Only 5 TDs in his last 4 games, including 0 and 1. That's alarming. I would not want to put my fantasy season on those shoulders, especially where you would have to draft him.
5. Russell Wilson, Seahawks- I was really high on Wilson this season, I almost traded for him a couple times. One thing that held me back early was the fact that I had Marshawn Lynch. The other thing was his matchups in week 15-16. He came through in a tough matchup in week 16 at the Arizona Cardinals and their defense. This is something to remember going forward. Wilson is a solid dual-threat, he will get you points running and passing the ball.
6. Tom Brady, Patriots- I think Tom has proven he still has a lot of "gas in the tank". Durable, fiery, and if he has a healthy Gronkowski, he is going to put up solid numbers. Many of you got him in the late rounds and benefited by it.
7. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers- Big Ben had a bit of a renaissance in 2014. He has probably the best WR in the league in Antonio Brown, a young stud in Martavis Bryant and the ever elusive RB, Le'Veon Bell.
8. Philip Rivers, Chargers- I had him as my backup QB and was able to trade him at his peak. I think that is a solid plan for any season. At times, I was tempted to play him instead of Brees. Rivers does well year in and year out, despite usually losing a receiver or two for periods of time.
9. Matt Ryan, Falcons- Matty "Ice" was once a top 5 candidate. He had flashes in 2014 where he played like it. His WRs keep getting nicked up though, perhaps due to playing on the hard turf most of the season. The gap kind of closed this year between the top 5 and the top 10 QBs as well.
10. Eli Manning, Giants- This is kind of a projection for 2015 as much as, he had a sneaky last half of 2014. With the emergence of Odell Beckham, Eli could creep back closer to that top 5 category in 2015. They need to strengthen their offensive line, so pay attention to that.
In the mix: Tony Romo, Cowboys- Is less of a gunslinger but as long as he has Dez Bryant, he has potential to have a big game. Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins- Put together a really nice season. I think he put away the talk of if he is an NFL QB or not. Cam Newton, Panthers- Cam had an up and down year. We saw him return to running when healthy. Has a nice combo with TE Greg Olson and Kelvin Benjamin will be in year 2.
So there we go, 2014 in the books, 2015 on the horizon!

Hi Bees,
I'm looking for the ring experts here.
My husband and I ordered our "spare" rings the other day from a seller on Amazon. They are Titanium rings. They were a super excellent deal – almost too excellent, and I want to check here and see if we possibly got scammed.
From what I understand titanium rings are stamped with a "TI" on the inside. The ring I got is not stamped at all, and my husband's had "titanium" etched into the inside… does this sound normal?
This company had positive ratings on the items that we purchased, put a big letter in the package about needing our reviews, and if we aren't happy with our purchase, they left a number and email address. I was thinking about contacting them just to see what's up.
But i wanted to check with any bees out there who might have gotten titanium rings to see if you had any experiences to share.
Thank you!

"Unless you scale back your standards for 'rappers', HyunA's performance as one leaves a lot to be desired. And it's not like she isn't asking to be challenged for it, because these are perfect grounds to question the authenticity – or at least the believability – of her trade of choice, because that is her thing and it constitutes most of this mini-album. And when she's out-shined by the featured rappers on her own album, can we do anything else but pick at her misgivings and wonder if she'll deliver something amazing?"

Set in the future, the story follows a nurse who tries to bring her own style of relief to people condemned to die. Her identity is a mystery and she may not be quite what she seems.
In 1993, backed by the band "La Provincia", Vives released the album "Clásicos de la Provincia" in which he started fusing Vallenato with rock,
It's a little surprising to consider that Julio Iglesias didn't have a comprehensive hits collection until My Life: The Greatest Hits was released in the fall of 1998, but the result was so strong that it made the wait worthwhile. Featuring no less than 37 songs over the course of two CDs, My Life has all of his biggest hits, most popular duets, and fan favorites, including "To All the Girls I've Loved Before," "All of You," "My Love," and "Summer Wind," a duet with Frank Sinatra. With only a couple of exceptions, the first disc is devoted to English-language hits, the second entirely to Latin hits. For some listeners, it may be too much material to digest, especially in one sitting, but there's little question that this is the definitive Julio Iglesias compilation.

Italian banks generally receive a bad press from ex-pats, largely because of inflated charges, incomprehensible paperwork, haughty staff and frequent bank take-overs causing considerable confusion.
Throughout the ten years that I have used the Italian banking system I have had no particular cause to make complaints. That's because I opened an account with Bancoposta, the Italian post-office bank, and have stuck with it.
Every Friday, at Bagni di Lucca's Villa post office it's possible to book an appointment with a financial advisor who will take the time to look at one's options, advise on good investments and even reduce any charges one still might have to suffer.
Thanks to this financial advice my current account at Bancoposta has not had to endure charges which could well be in excess of one hundred euros annually with some Italian bank accounts.
How does one avoid charges, which with a UK bank account in credit, would never be imposed? Three things are needed, out of about twelve possible options. I chose to pay a regular monthly amount into my current account, set up a direct debit for at least one utility and open up a regular monthly savings account. I could also have chosen to buy personal injury insurance, use an electronic pass on Italian autostrade, in addition to other options. In this way I have saved on charges which would normally amount to around fifty Euros per annum. Every Euro helps…
Some people might argue why have an Italian bank account anyway? It's their decision, of course, but I'm quite happy to have an Italian account with the post office since Bancoposta hole-in-the-wall machines are quite common and will not involve surcharges, debit cards can be used in places where credit cards are not accepted (e.g. Lidl), and cell-phones can be regularly topped up without having to buy special cards.
As for investments, I have been pleased with my Bancoposta inflation-linked investments which, though modest, are at least safe.
Some people complain that post office service is often slow and sometimes unfriendly. Of course, this may depend on who's serving you but if one goes to the post office first thing on Monday morning then clearly one is asking for trouble. Any time after 12.00 AM (the Bagni post offices close at 1.30 PM) may often find one the only customer in the building.
People living in and around Bagni di Lucca are very lucky with post offices. There are three of them at Villa, Ponte and Fornoli respectively and they are all dedicated post offices.
Let me explain. In my former residency in Woolwich London SE there used to be one main post office and a fine Victorian building it was too. I imagine Royal artillery cadets from the nearby barracks used it to post and receive letters to and from their loved ones, before going on dangerous duties in the Empire.
Even General Gordon of Khartoum, who was born in Woolwich and was trained at the military school there, must have used its facilities.
That building has since been demolished (as, sadly with General Gordon's birthplace in Woolwich – such is the care taken over the past in that part of London) and the only way one can get to a post office is by walking through a large department store which, apparently, has a "post office" section.
Three cheers for Bagni di Lucca's three post offices,then!

As many of you know, I volunteer for a wonderful charity, Solidarity Sports, and have been doing a 60 hour/10 week placement with them as part of one of my university modules. It has given me a unique opportunity to gain a new perspective into the runnings of a charity, seeking funding and so on. A couple of weeks ago, I emailed a variety of well-known places regarding a one-off trip for the kids to go to. WWT London were very kind in waiving their admission fee, and allowing the children to visit, have fun and learn about the different birds that live at the centre.
For the special occasion, I decided that I wanted to make something cute and special for the kids to enjoy, which led me to making…
Mary Berry's Gingerbread Men
I have made gingerbread men before but using a different recipe, and so was eager to find out how the two compare. Overall, these were much less hassle to make; however, the mix was not smooth when just adding egg and syrup and so had to opt for several dashes of milk to make it bind properly, instead of crumbling – I found this too when making her Yorkshire Gingernuts. Nevertheless, it produced near on 40+ small gingerbread men and looked incredibly cute when decorated. Instead of using raisins for decoration, I went for writing icing and chocolate beans. The end result was wonderfully tasting gingerbread with a crunch – just how I like it!
- 350 g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 100 g butter
- 175 g light muscovado sugar
- 4 tbsp golden syrup
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas mark 5. Line 3 baking trays with greaseproof paper/baking parchment.
- Add the flour, bicarb and ginger into a bowl and give it a mix. Rub in the butter with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the sugar. Add the golden syrup and beat egg to form a smooth dough (you will probably need to add some milk here if you find the mix too dry). Knead lightly with your hands.
- Divide the dough in half and roll out the first half on a lightly floured surface. Ideally, you want the thickness of the dough to be about 5mm (1/4 in).
- Cut out the gingerbread men using a cutter and place them the prepared baking trays. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake in the oven (top-shelf, one tray at a time) for about 10-12 mins until they become a slightly darker shade. Allow to cool in the tin for about a minute, then place on a wire rack to finish off.
- Decorate accordingly and enjoy!

I belong to a womans group for women who not have sex with their partners.
Its worldwide and so we get loads of stories.
All of which are anonymous.
One ladies story made me wonder.. I wont post her story..
But it brings the question..

Most of the women have not had sex in over 5 years..most of which is due to medical reasons with their husbands..
so what do you all think?

Oh come on, If you're not getting 'the' attention at home for various reasons I think it's perfectly natural to get it elsewhere. The attention that is.
It doesn't mean you love your partner any less.

It's sort of tough without knowing the full situation. If it's one on one, intimate, emotional stuff then hell yes cheating and not ok. But.... not that I have done/would do this and I wouldn't be ok with DP doing it- but if it was like anonymous cyber sex in a chat room to me that's a little bit blurry. I'm not sure I'd call it cheating. It would be on the same level to me as my partner using a phone sex line (for example). I would feel icky and hurt and angry but not cheated on. Does that make sense? I suppose the same way some women feel about their partner watching porn.

I would hope that if I were in that circumstance (like the 5years etc) ..my partner and I would have spoken amount limitations and have come to some sort of 'agreement' to make sure everyone in the relationship was 'being taken care of' - emotionally/physically.
..cheating is cheating - if the woman telling the story considers it something she wouldn't want her husband finding out about - it's cheating.

The theory is that LeBron James lost his will to win in the playoffs last year. But the evidence, as amassed by Jeff Fogle of Hoopdata, is that he lost his shooting ability -- only in games with shorter rest.
In other words, he shot perfectly well in the first and third games of the series, which each featured long rest, but shot very poorly in games 2, 4, 5 and 6, which came with just one day off.
To Fogle, this is congruent with the idea that his known elbow injury (he shot a leftie free throw at the end of the prior series) hung around his final series in Cleveland more than was evident. Fogle writes:
Games 1 and 3: 12/19 (63 percent)
Games 2,4,5,6: 15/26 (58 percent)
A slight drop off. But, the closer you are to the basket, the less an elbow injury is likely to affect your shot.
Games 1 and 3: 4/7 (58 percent)
Games 2,4-,5,6: 4/10 (40 percent)
Quite a difference there. He's dropped off in both cases because he's further from the basket, but the spread is now 18 percentage points rather than just five.
Games 1 and 3: 5/11 (45 percent)
Games 2,4,5,6: 4/16 (25 percent)
We're in the range where a bad elbow could definitely affect your jump shots. With three days between games, LeBron was at 45 percent. In the quicker turnarounds, that percentage plummeted to 25. Note again that both percentages are going down (as expected) the further he gets from the basket. The spread between the two situations is now 20 percentage points.
Games 1 and 3: 5/9 (56 percent)
Games 2,4,5,6: 2/17 (12 percent)
LeBron was hitting his open looks from distance in the games where the arm was well rested. In fact, he was more accurate from behind the arc than in the 16-23 foot range. But, in the quick turnarounds, he was a woeful 2 of 17 on treys (44 percentage points worse). Doesn't THAT suggest a potential injury issue all by itself? A guy's got a bad elbow, and he goes 2 of 17 on long shots in games with limited preparation and rest time.
Fogle goes on to suggest that James knew he was not shooting well, and frantically tried to assault the rim (remember that?) which dramatically increased his turnovers. Those turnover totals can be taken as support of narrative that James quit, or the opposite.

Israel's Job Number One: Avoiding A Second Auschwitz
May 5 of this year was Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom Ha'shoah. Appropriately, the central message of this uniquely somber day is "never again." But it is every day that Israel, as the institutionalized form of the Jewish surviving remnant, must interpret this message on another level. Israel must remember the Holocaust not only to memorialize the past, but also to protect a still-uncertain Jewish future.
Israel faces a complex and multilayered responsibility. The tiny country's sacred obligations now extend far beyond offering protection to diasporic Jews against any traditional genocide, to assuring its own survival as a durable and separately sovereign state. The almost unbearable question, "Can Auschwitz return?" must now be examined more broadly than in the narrowly literal interpretation.
At present, the most plausible threat of "a second Auschwitz" is not from any expected attempts to round up individual Jews in different parts of the world, and bring them to the gas chambers. Nor is it from any Jihadist terror that is focused on Jewish civilian populations, whether in Israel, Europe or the United States. Rather, the most fearful and conspicuous exterminatory threat to Jews is from enemy acquisition of nuclear bombs, and from certain conceivably corollary preparations to shower such lethal "gas" upon the whole of Israel.
Left to themselves, it is easy enough to imagine some of Israel's potentially nuclear adversaries could bring the Jewish state (we may think of Dante) into eternal darkness, fire and ice. It is plain, therefore, that the country's leadership should soon take all appropriate steps to ensure that any identifiable failure of national deterrence would never spark a nuclear attack. In this connection, it is especially important for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) to continue to plan conceptually and operationally around the following absolutely core understanding:
Nuclear deterrence and conventional deterrence are never separate or discrete security postures. Always, these indispensable protective strategies are mutually reinforcing and critically interrelated.
Nuclear war in the Middle East is no longer out of the question. This is the case, moreover, even if Israel were somehow to remain the only nuclear weapons state in the increasingly chaotic region. How is this possible?
Significantly, a bellum atomicum could arrive in Israel not only as a bolt-from-the-blue enemy nuclear missile attack, but also as a result of escalation. If, for example, certain Arab/Islamic states were to begin hostilities by launching conventional attacks upon Israel, Jerusalem could decide to respond, sooner or later, with thoughtfully calculated and correspondingly graduated nuclear reprisals. Alternatively, if these enemy states were to commence conflict by releasing large-scale conventional attacks upon Israel, Jerusalem's conventional reprisals could then be met, sometime in the not-too-distant future, with particular enemy nuclear counterstrikes.
If it hadn't been for Israel's earlier preemptive operations against both Iraq and Syria (Operations Opera and Orchard, respectively), the Middle East could already have been rife with Arab or Islamist nuclear forces. Looking back upon these specially focused expressions of national self-defense, Israel had then effectively ensured that such assorted terror groups as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah would not now be nuclear. In fact, the still generally unrecognized benefits of these extraordinary operations have impacted not only Israel, but also the United States and its allies that are fighting Jihadists in a rapidly disintegrating theatre of conflict.
The regional future, however, is apt to be even less secure. For one thing, with a potentially nuclear Iran the derivative risks of nuclear terrorism could become intolerable. Some of these newer risks might not stay contained to the Middle East. Instead, in some form or another, they could carry over to the scarcely protected American and European homelands.
However, by planning ahead, and by maintaining a maximally credible conventional deterrent, Israel could reduce its exposure to any eventual nuclear war fighting. A fully persuasive Israeli nonnuclear deterrent, at least to the extent that it would prevent enemy conventional attacks, could expectedly lower Israel's overall risk of any escalatory vulnerabilities to nuclear war. In the impressively arcane lexicon of nuclear strategy, this means that Israel could likely reap considerable security gains by staying in conspicuously firm control of "escalation dominance."
Such gains could turn out to be genuinely existential. They could actually serve to prevent a second Auschwitz.
But why should Israel require a conventional deterrent at all? Wouldn't its nuclear deterrent alone, whether still ambiguous, or perhaps more expressly disclosed, reliably deter any and all national aggressions? Wouldn't all enemy states, at least those that were determinedly rational, resist launching just conventional attacks upon Israel?
This reasonably presumed reluctance would stem from a determinably well-founded fear of Israeli nuclear retaliation.

If it's good, I'll read it! Instagram: @crystenasbooks
Author: C.S. Harris
Series: Sebastian St. Cyr #4
Rating: 4 stars
I only mildly enjoyed the first few books in this series. When I expressed this, fans of the series told me that Hero's character- who plays a prominent role in this installment - is a great addition to the cast and turned it around for them. Considering this, though I had said I would read the series no further, I decided to give this one a shot.
They were right.
In this installment, Sebastian comes to the aid of Hero, his enemy's daughter, who is investigating the death of prostitutes killed under suspicious circumstances. The subsequent mystery is very much tied up in history- Harris takes a historical event and has spun her own story as to the motivations behind it. It is well done.
The characters were rich with depth. Harris' descriptions make them come alive as you're reading. Sebastian still isn't my favorite character, but my least favorite has taken a huge leap back from the forefront and that improves things considerably. I'd elaborate more but #spoilers.
I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to continuing on with this series.

Sự chuyển hóa của chủ nghĩa Tư bản
The gyrations of the market are such that no-one can know what will have value even a few years ahead"
John Gray
3 September 2011 Last updated at 23:27 GMT
Karl Marx may have been wrong about (sai lầm về) communism but he was right about much of capitalism, John Gray writes.
As a side-effect (hiệu ứng phụ) of the financial crisis, more and more people are starting to think Karl Marx was right. The great 19th Century German philosopher, economist and revolutionary (nhà cách mạng) believed that capitalism was radically (về gốc rễ, từ căn bản) unstable.
It had a built-in tendency (xu thé có từ bên trong) to produce ever larger booms and busts (tăng trưởng và suy sụp), and over the longer term (về lâu dài) it was bound to (chắc chắn, tất yếu) destroy itself.
Marx welcomed (mong muốn … xãy đến) capitalism's self-destruction. He was confident that a popular revolution (cách mạng quần chúng) would occur (xảy ra, happen, take place) and bring (biến đổi, turn) a communist system into being that (=what) would be more productive and far more humane (nhân bản, hướng đến con người)
Marx was wrong about communism. Where he was prophetically (có tính tiên tri) right was in his grasp (sự nắm bắt, thấu hiểu) of the revolution of capitalism. It's not just (không phải chỉ là) capitalism's endemic (của riêng nó, đặc hữu, cố hữu) instability that he understood, though in this regard (về phương diện này) he was far more perceptive (có cái nhìn sâu sắc hơn) than most economists in his day and ours.
Marx co-authored (đồng tác gia, cùng biên soạn) The Communist Manifesto (bản Tuyên ngôn) with Friedrich Engels
More profoundly, Marx understood how capitalism destroys its own social base – the middle-class way of life. The Marxist terminology of bourgeois and proletarian has an archaic ring (âm sắc/có cái gì đó/âm hưởng/hơi hướng/ cổ xưa, lỗi thời)
But when he argued that (lập luận rằng) capitalism would plunge the middle classes into something like the precarious existence (sự sông bấp bênh, gieo neo) of the hard-pressed (khốn cùng, bị dồn vào cảnh khó khăn) workers of his time, Marx anticipated (dự kiến, thấy trước, tiên đoán) a change in the way we live that we're only now struggling (xoay xở) to cope with.
He viewed (đánh giá, xem là, coi.. như) capitalism as the most revolutionary economic system in history, and there can be no doubt that it differs radically (tận gốc rễ) from those of previous times.
Hunter-gatherers (Người săn tìm-hái lượm) persisted (duy trì, not cease or change) in their way of life for thousands of years, slave cultures for almost as long and feudal societies for many centuries. In contrast, capitalism transforms everything it touches (tiếp chạm, đụng đến)
It's not just brands that are constantly changing. Companies and industries are created and destroyed in an incessant stream (một dòng/ chuỗi không ngớt) of innovation, while human relationships are dissolved (tan rã)and reinvented (tái tạo) in novel forms.
Capitalism has been described as a process of creative destruction (phá hủy để tái tạo), and no-one can deny that it has been prodigiously (phi thường, thần kỳ) productive (tạo sinh, đẻ ra cái mới). Practically anyone who is alive in Britain today has a higher real income than they would have had if capitalism had never existed.
The trouble is that among the things that have been destroyed in the process is the way of life on which capitalism in the past depended.
Negative return: Thu nhập Suy giảm {see below.. }
Defenders of capitalism argue that it offers (mang lại, bring)to everyone the benefits that in Marx's time were enjoyed only by the bourgeoisie, the settled middle class that owned capital (có vốn) and had a reasonable level of security and freedom in their lives.
In 19th Century capitalism most people had nothing. They lived by selling their labour and when markets turned down they faced hard times. But as capitalism evolves, its defenders say, an increasing number of people will be able to benefit from it.
Fulfilling careers (có được sự nghiệp vừa ý, viên mãn ) will no longer be the prerogative (đặc quyền) of a few. No more will people struggle from month to month to live on an insecure wage. Protected by savings, a house they own and a decent pension, they will be able to plan their lives without fear. With the growth of democracy and the spread of wealth, no-one need be shut out from (ngăn cấm không được hưởng) the bourgeois life. Everybody can be middle class (tầng lớp trung lưu)
In fact, (quả thực) in Britain, the US and many other developed countries over the past 20 or 30 years, the opposite has been happening. Job security (sự bảo đảm việc làm) doesn't exist, the trades and professions of the past have largely gone and life-long careers (công việc, sự nghiệp cả đời) are barely memories (chỉ là chuyện dĩ vãng).
If people have any wealth (của cải) it's in their houses, but house prices don't always increase. When credit is tight (tín dụng bị siết chặt) as it is now, they can be stagnant (trì trệ, đóng băng) for years. A dwindling (ngày càng thu nhỏ) minority can count on a pension (tiền hưu trí) on which they could comfortably live, and not many have significant (=sunstantian, big) savings.
More and more people live from day to day, (sống ngày nào biết ngày đó), with little idea of what the future may bring (ngày mai sẽ xảy ra điều gì) . Middle-class people used to think (trước đây thường nghĩ) their lives unfolded (diễn ra) in an orderly progression. But it's no longer (Nhưng ngàt nay..) possible to look at life as a succession of stages in which each is a step up from the last.
Markets are a volatile business (mau thay đổi, dễ bùng nổ)
In the process of creative destruction the ladder (những thang bậc xã hội) has been kicked away (đá văng đi, bị sụp đổ) and for increasing numbers of people a middle-class existence is no longer even an aspiration.
As capitalism has advanced it has returned (đưa lại../dẫn đến) most people to a new version of the precarious existence (cuộc sống bấp bênh) of Marx's proles (người vô sản). Our incomes are far higher and in some degree we're cushioned against shocks by what remains of the post-war welfare state.
But we have very little effective control over the course of our lives, and the uncertainty in which we must live is being worsened by policies devised to deal with the financial crisis. Zero interest rates alongside rising prices means you're getting a negative return on your money and over time your capital is being eroded.
The situation of many younger people is even worse. In order to acquire the skills you need, you'll have to go into debt. Since at some point you'll have to retrain you should try to save, but if you're indebted from the start that's the last thing you'll be able to do. Whatever their age, the prospect facing most people today is a lifetime of insecurity.
Risk takers: Những người chấp nhận rủi ro
At the same time as it has stripped (tước đoạt .. của) people of the security of bourgeois life, capitalism has made the type of person that lived (từng sống) the bourgeois life obsolete (bị lỗi thời) . In the 1980s there was much talk of Victorian values, and promoters of the free market used to argue that it would bring us back to the wholesome virtues (những giá trị lành mạnh) of the past.
For many, women and the poor for example, these Victorian values could be pretty stultifying (không còn mấy ý nghĩa) in their effects. But the larger fact is that the free market works to undermine the virtues that maintain the bourgeois life.
When savings are melting away being thrifty (tằn tiện) can be the road to ruin. It's the person who borrows heavily and isn't afraid to declare bankruptcy that survives and goes on to prosper.
When the labour market is highly mobile it's not those who stick dutifully to their task (cặm cụi vì công việc) that succeed, it's people who are always ready to try something new that looks more promising.
In a society that is being continuously transformed by market forces, traditional values are dysfunctional (không còn tác dụng) and anyone who tries to live by them (sống theo đó) risks ending up on the scrapheap (có nguy cơ rốt cục bị vứt vào bãi rác, cuộc đời bỏ đi)
Looking to a future in which the market permeates every corner of life (thâm nhập mọi ngóc ngách cuộc sống) , Marx wrote in The Communist Manifesto: "Everything that is solid melts into air". For someone living in early Victorian England – the Manifesto was published in 1848 – it was an astonishingly far-seeing observation.
At the time nothing seemed more solid than the society on the margins of (ngoài rìa) which Marx lived. A century and a half later we find ourselves in the world he anticipated, where everyone's life is experimental and provisional, and sudden ruin can happen at any time.
A tiny few have accumulated vast wealth but even that has an evanescent, almost ghostly quality. In Victorian times the seriously rich could afford to relax provided they were conservative in how they invested their money. When the heroes (các nhân vật) of Dickens' novels finally come into their inheritance, they do nothing forever after.
Today there is no haven of security. The gyrations (sự xoay vòng, quay cuồng) of the market are such that no-one can know what will have value even a few years ahead.
Austerity measures (biện pháp lưng buộc bụng) to reduce Greece's debt has sparked (làm nổ ra) riots
This state of perpetual unrest (bất ổn, unstability) is the permanent revolution of capitalism and I think it's going to be with us in any future that's realistically imaginable. We're only part of the way through a financial crisis that will turn many more things upside down.
Currencies and governments are likely to go under, along with parts of the financial system we believed had been made safe. The risks that threatened to freeze the world economy only three years ago haven't been dealt with. They've simply been shifted to states.
Whatever politicians may tell us about the need to curb the deficit, debts on the scale that have been run up can't be repaid. Almost certainly they will be inflated away – a process that is bound to painful and impoverishing for many.
The result can only be further upheaval (xáo động, =chaos, violent disturbance and disorder), on an even bigger scale. But it won't be the end of the world, or even of capitalism. Whatever happens, we're still going to have to learn to live with the mercurial (nhanh nhạy, biến hóa) energy that the market has released.
Capitalism has led to a revolution but not the one that Marx expected (=anticipated). The fiery German thinker (=philosopher) hated the bourgeois life and looked to (trông chờ, kỳ vọng) communism to destroy it. And just as he predicted, the bourgeois world has been destroyed.
But it wasn't communism that did the deed (the job, the work) . It's capitalism that has killed off (destroy, wipe out, terminate) the bourgeoisie

There are bad movies. Then there are atrocious movies. Then there are "so-atrocious-it's-good" movies. That's where Troll 2 comes in. Released in 1990, the low-budget abomination has no relation to its predecessor, Troll 1. Now, almost 20 years later, the film has been garnering a cult following that has spanned the globe thanks to egregious acting, terrible script, and to the unsolicited laughs that it never fails to trigger. Michael Stephenson, the child star of the film, recently created the documentary Best Worst Movie in response to this growing phenomenon. Stephenson had spent most of his life trying to distance himself from this one-in-a-million gem. But the growing buzz around the movie, along with the numerous requested autographs, caused him to embrace his past. The documentary explores the hidden culture that has arisen around Troll 2, and why it developed.
If you haven't seen Troll 2 yet, you can catch a live stream here. It's worth every minute. I recommend seeing the actual film before the documentary to make the latter more relevant.

In recent weeks, we saw how the Muslim world's obsession with gaining converts evinces, in the words of one Muslim intellectual, an "inferiority complex"--a deadly one at that.
As it happens, inferiority complex is not the only psychological ailment besetting the Muslim world: some Muslims are also projecting the worst traits of Islam onto the beleaguered Christian communities living among them.
Take Egypt's Christian Copts, for example. Much of the recent violence inflicted upon them is based on the constant--but baseless--accusation that the Coptic Church is abducting and tormenting Coptic women who convert to Islam. Amazingly, it is precisely the opposite scenario--Muslims kidnapping Christian women and forcing them to convert to Islam--that is a notorious phenomenon in Egypt.
Indeed, a bipartisan group of eighteen members of the U.S. Congress wrote last year to Ambassador Luis CdeBaca, director of the State Department's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Office, documenting how Coptic females are increasingly subject to "fraud, physical and sexual violence, captivity, forced marriage, and exploitation in forced domestic servitude or commercial sexual exploitation, and financial benefit to the individuals who secure the forced conversion" (see Christian Solidarity International's full report on the abuse of Christian women in Muslim Egypt for complete details).
A well-known psychological phenomenon, "projection" is defined as "the attribution of one's own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people." An academic article dealing with violence and projection states, "Projection allows the killer to project his (unacceptable) desire to kill (torture, rape, steal, dominate, etc.) onto some target group or person. This demonizes his target, making it even more acceptable to kill."
Of course, projection has long been a means to demonize Israel. Islamists accuse Israel and the Jews of living for "perpetual war," "legitimizing land theft in the name of God," and "plundering their opponent's property."
In fact, nothing less than Islam's holy law, Sharia law, mandates perpetual war, land grab, and the plundering of non-believers. Muslim scriptures, history, and current events are rife with examples; the overwhelming majority of what constitutes the Muslim world was taken by force. Only recently, popular Muslim preacher Abu Ishaq al-Huweini boasted about how jihad is one of the highlights of Islam, specifically because it allows the plundering of infidels and enslavement of their women and children.
Yet, because Muslims are currently in a weakened position, they see themselves as victims--not just vis-à-vis a stronger Israel, but even small and vulnerable communities like the Copts.

Fall Of Empyrean from Tempe, Arizona play Death/Doom in the vein of Novembers Doom, My Dying Bride and Swallow The Sun but thankfully their music is a little more aggressive than those bands which gives them a sense of being more original than most of its European counterparts. Its been some 6 years between albums for the band and the tracks for this album were written and ready to go a long time ago, the reason for the delay was waiting for the right album deal to come along and it did eventually with the band signing to with Germany's Grau Records. Hearing this album for the first time was interesting because I was curious to see how the band progressed with such a long break between recordings. The previous album called "A Darkness Remembered" was a album with great songs but in my opinion was marred by very average production. With this new album, the production woes of the past have been fixed as this is a well produced and mixed effort. The album begins with a 2 minute instrumental titled "Bereft" which immediately sets the mood and tone for the album. When the album gets in full swing with "Breathe Deep The Cinders", you know what you are getting here, its Death Doom in the Euro tradition and therefore experienced listeners of the genre will find this predictable but it is enjoyable all the same.
"Breathe Deep The Cinders" is pretty typical of most of the album, slow and melancholic sections are regularly broken up with more aggressive moments with the vocals of Richard Medina shifting from growling to spoken word pieces. One of the standout tracks on the disc is "Vast But Desolate" where you can hear the band shifting from the slow and melancholic to passages of intense fury and even anger. This is of course something that is missing in a lot of other bands in the genre so its more than welcome here. The keyboard parts are used more as a instrument of mood rather than any sort of lead instrument and rarely stand out within the songs even though they are there. The heaviest track is left to last, titled "Catharsis" it starts off surprisingly fast and is very intense before fading out to gentle guitars and whispered vocals. There are also two slow and melancholic instrumental acoustic songs, "Anhedonia" (named the same as their debut album) and "Lifeless In My Arms", these provide two pleasant breaks in the album. Elsewhere on the album, the only other track to stand out is called "Veins Split Wide" which shows the more melodic side of the band, strange for me to find a melodic track to be a highlight but in the case of this album, it just is.
There is not much I can say about this album, its nothing ground breaking or different really from the usual Death/Doom stuff that is already out there and the songs range from average by the numbers material to the really good but nothing rises above that. It is though a step-forward from 2004's "A Darkness Remembered" album as it sees a progression in the band's musical ability and big improvements in production values. The plus side also is the album has a good blend of the mellow to the aggressive which keeps you interest level up throughout its 45 minutes. Its a recording that is better than most in the Death/Doom genre and one worth checking out. 7/10

How did I not know that my favorite donut – the kind that's frosted with chocolate and filled with custard – is called a Bismarck? All this time I've just been saying "creme filled donut" and didn't realize it actually had a name! Now I want a donut.
Why is it that whenever the tornado sirens go off, all of my neighbors run outside to see what's going on? Are they just trying to ensure a quick death if a tornado actually hits?
Why aren't there clearer "dry clean only" warnings on clothing items? Shouldn't someone tell me this BEFORE I buy it? A big, red, flashing label would be nice. And how many times can I wear a piece of dry-clean-only clothing before I need to take it to the cleaners? Right now, I'm averaging about 2 or 3 times for pants, and 1,394 times for jackets. That's ok, right?
What is going on with the housing market? At what point do I stop lowering the price and just ask someone to move in and take over my mortgage payments? Preferably someone without pets.
I have discovered the delicousness that is lobster pot pie. My life will never be the same. Now, how do I work this dish into my routine diet? And budget?
I cannot tell you how excited I am to spend five blissful days with my hubby – just the two of us, sans work. However I can tell you how UNexcited I am about flying towards a hurricane named Earl. And that's very.
Man, I really want a donut.

Every year almost over a million students appear for the JEE mains exam and from them, nearly 2.24 lakh students are shortlisted for the JEE advanced exam. The JEE advanced exam is conducted by the 7 zonal IITs under the guidance of Joint Admission Board (JAB) every year. The scores are a prerequisite for admissions in any of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) across the country.
To be eligible for the advanced exam, students need to score well in JEE mains exam and fall under the top 2,24,000 (there are category-wise percentages too). So, this exam is considered as one of the most competitive exams in the country.
Students who score well in the advanced exam have higher chances of getting into their preferred IIT. It is extremely important for the students to be confident and attempt the questions efficiently. Some of the most important preparation tips are given below to help the engineering aspirants prepare for JEE advanced more effectively.
- Know the Exam & Strategize
At first, it is important to know the exam pattern and syllabus properly and then strategize a preparation plan accordingly. It is also important to self-analyze and make a time-table. The JEE advanced is an online test and includes questions from physics, maths and chemistry. There is also an architecture aptitude test for students applying for B-Arch courses.
- Practice Rigorously
The exam includes several topics from the subjects which are a bit complicated. The numerical also gives a tough time to the students. So, it is extremely important for a student to practice different variations of questions from each chapter. Also, refer to some good reference books, like HC Verma (for physics) and practice questions from there.
- Take Mock Tests
Taking and analyzing mock tests is of utmost importance in JEE preparation. By analyzing mocks properly, one can easily self-analyze and act accordingly. This way, all the topics can be covered efficiently and one get confident to tackle any question in the advanced exam. Mock tests also acquaint the students with the actual exam scenario which can help to devise personal test-taking and time management strategies.
- Solve Question and Sample Papers
Solving sample and question papers gives additional exposure to different question-types that are generally included in the paper. Solving previous year question paper can also help to know the exam better with respect to difficulty and pattern of the questions.
These were a few tips that can help the engineering aspirants to prepare for JEE advanced exam more efficiently and score well. JEE advance is the most crucial exam for the students aspiring to join the IITs and get excellent career opportunities.

The investment seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors US Listed Semiconductor 25 Index (the "Semiconductor Index"). The fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the fund's benchmark index. The Semiconductor Index is comprised of common stocks and depositary receipts of U.S. exchange-listed companies in the semiconductor sector. Such companies may include medium-capitalization companies and foreign companies that are listed on a U.S. exchange. Company description from FinViz.com.
The semiconductor sector has been in rally mode since July. The SMH hit a high post election at $71.83 but was crushed back to $67.50 last week in the Nasdaq crash. If the economy is actually going to accelerate as analysts believe, the chip sector will be a leader. Everything we do today has some kind of chip component from smartphones to refrigerators to automobiles. Everything we touch has a chip if it is even remotely electronic.
Chips were soft from the middle of 2015 until July 2016 as the economic struggled along at a roughly 1.25% growth rate. I believe they are poised to rally higher over the next year. The growth of the cloud with millions of servers added every year is just one area that is seeing new chip technology.
Because of the crash last week the LEAP prices have declined to reasonable levels unlike most individual stocks.

A handful of WWF superstars, (Steve Austin, Mick Foley), have appeared on the MTV show ¿Celebrity Deathmatch¿ in clay form in the past. Now, however, the WWF says that many WWF superstars will be on the show at the end of September with no clay involved this time around.
Mick Foley, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, The Dudleys, Kurt Angle, Lita and the Hardy Boyz all filmed vignettes for the show, set to air during a Celebrity Deathmatch marathon scheduled for the weekend of September 30th and October 1st. This would coincide with the debut on Sunday Night Heat on MTV, tentatively scheduled for October 1st at 7pm EST/PST.
That start date still hangs in the balance as the courts have yet to make a decision regarding USA¿s appeal. When Heat does makes its move to MTV, expect to see a significant change in the show¿s format. Heat is expected to feature taped matches and also segments from MTV¿s Times Square building, featuring wrestlers and musical guests.
While the world awaits the court¿s decision regarding the appeal, the WWF seems fairly confident that they¿ll be moving to TNN/MTV sooner or later.
¿Also look forward to seeing other superstars on MTV much more in the near future.¿

I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.
If we aren't in this world to live up to each other's expectations, then who's expectations are we to live up to? And what are we in this world to do??
I know the answer–not the full plan and details of it, but I know the who and the what of my life. Have I followed through? To my Father and the big purpose appointed to me, sadly, I don't think so… I've drifted off in selfish pursuit and disobedience… but maybe this new venture will re-awaken me, as a reawakening has been long overdue.
When one door closes, another one opens.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to see the amazing world you created. I know these things I shouldn't take for granted, nor should I be selfish. It happens for a reason, and in your name, I will move forward…
I pray for strength, understanding, humility, and your grace.
I've pushed you aside, my first and foremost love.
Please forgive me.
in God we trust
