|Ligging vakantiehuis
|3 - 7 nachten
Geniet van de grote Mid-kust van Maine met al zijn grootsheid, van zeilen, kreeft, staat parken, wandelen en schilderachtige stadjes. Zitten en te ontspannen en hebben een prachtig uitzicht op de haven van Belfast beide decks. Deze prachtige met airconditioning 3 slaapkamers, 2 badkamers huisje is smaakvol vernieuwd en volledig ingericht door de bekroonde Janis Stone, van Interiors door Janis. Het huisje is voorzien van een omslag rond dek op de eerste verdieping, en een kleinere uitkijk baars vanaf het bovendek. We hebben onlangs geïnstalleerde air conditioning om extra comfort te bieden. Maak een korte wandeling over de nieuwe loopbrug naar het centrum van Belfast te winkelen of te genieten van een van de leuke evenementen deze zomer in de mooie en cultureel koele stad Belfast. Young's Lobster Pound en Perry's zijn ook een korte loopafstand van het huisje. De stad van Camden is 18 mijl ten zuiden en Bar Harbor is 58 mijl ten noorden van Belfast.
De schoonheid van Belfast: is een charmante kustplaats die het beste van wat een Maine vakantie te bieden heeft vertegenwoordigt! Het stadje heeft restaurants en winkels die het leuk voor het hele gezin te maken. De activiteiten op het water maken dit een geweldige plek om een week of een maand te besteden. Geniet van toneelstukken, concerten en andere culturele activiteiten. Belfast is een cultureel koele stad genaamd. Er zijn kunstenaars die werken in de stad en ze hebben meestal hun werk tentoongesteld.
Rented this property off season in November and December to provide medical services in the Belfast area. Great place to come home and relax after a day of toil--wish I had had more time and better weather to partake of the class A view of the Harbor from upper and lower decks and to make use of the footbridge to easily access all of the restaurants and attractions of Belfast across the Bay---I'm sure during peak season that this, also, would be my choice of homes to rent----close enough to hit all the attractions across the Bay but with no crowds teaming around the premises. Owners very accessible by phone, if needed, and local friends of owner responsive to any needs. Thanks Dennis!
This house has it all. Great location, beautifully decorated, meticulous attention to detail with everything you could possibly need. We look forward to a return visit.
Our stay at the cottage in Belfast was great! It was the ideal location to stay to explore coastal Maine. The footbridge into Belfast made it very easy to walk into town each day to explore as well. The cottage had all of the amenities needed for our stay. We spent many mornings and evenings on the porch enjoying the view. I would highly recommend this cottage.
My friends and I had the good fortune to stay for 2 weeks in August at Dennis and Kerry's very sweet cottage in Belfast. Having stayed in many VRBO type accommodations, I must say theirs was at the top. Any question we had Dennis was available very quickly to answer. The amenities they provided was beyond what is usually found on arrival. We enjoyed many hours sitting on the deck. The view is just great and so relaxing. Walking across the footbridge was a daily activity we loved, not to mention the great exercise benefit. All to say thank you very much to the Kellehers.
Jo, Pat, Anne and Cindy
We loved our stay here and hope to return. Such attention to detail and cleanliness… right down to chilled water bottles in the fridge! We were so close to town, enjoyed the walking bridge and trails, and even got to experience fireworks while sitting on the deck during the Maine Celtic Festival. We have stayed in a number of private lodgings and would highly recommend this location to everyone❤. You simply can't beat the convenience and charm. And the deck…wow! We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with a view of beautiful Belfast. One week is simply not enough.
We loved this house! For a family of five (2 adults, 3 teens ages 14, 17, 18) it was a perfect fit - great location, super clean, wonderful amenities, and very comfortable! The kitchen is new and stocked with all the essentials including coffee filters/dish soap/towels, the dining room is a great place for a family meal or after dinner board games, the living room furniture is cozy with plenty of movies, games, books, and travel brochures to enjoy, the bathrooms are nicely stocked with fuzzy towels/soaps/toiletries, and the bedrooms are just lovely - beautiful furnishings, comfortable beds, soft sheets/blankets, lots of pillows, and books!! We all appreciated the AC and the technology - wi-fi/satellite/dvd player. This house is more than a homerun - it's a grand slam!!
Great location does not even begin to describe Belfast Maine. This is a beautiful harbor town within a short walking distance down the street and over a delightful footbridge. We kayaked alongside all of the beautiful sail boats and fishing vessels that fill the harbor and enjoyed the wonderful views from the walking path that meanders along the waterfront. There are numerous restaurants and shops to explore - we enjoyed dinner at the Nautilus Seafood & Grill, coffee at the Co-Op, croissants & yummy cookies at MoonBat City Baking Company, and movies at the Colonial Theater. We also loved the Museum in the Street signs that explain the interesting history that helped shape the architecture, economy, and culture of Belfast today.
The location for this home in midcoast Maine makes it ideal for exploring the surrounding area. We spent a day hiking in Acadia up to Bubble Rock and then headed into Bar Harbor for a yummy meal at Geddy's, shopping, and a nice stroll along the harbor. We also enjoyed Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge - the Observatory is really fun! We spent time in Bucksport to walk along the waterfront and stopped at antique shops along the way including Mainley Pottery where we picked up some beautiful keepsakes. This is the place - run don't walk to Belfast Maine!

About 10 years ago £7 million was spent on 'regeneration' of the Oxford Road in West Reading.
The 'striking futuristic' street lamps in Oxford Road were installed as part of a £7 million regeneration scheme. Now they are being taken down because of "ongoing maintenance issues". Spare parts are no longer available so as part of a general review of street furniture, Reading Borough Council decided to get rid of the lampposts.
Disposable lamp posts after 10 years is clearly not sustainable, this local authority should be apologising for their mistakes. They also wanted to demolish the Civic Centre, which is newer than most buildings in Reading. Madness, when they could refurbish it to make it greener for less money and less carbon.
They didn't think to include a cycle path in the development, though there is room for it. Our Labour Council has failed on so many levels, this is just one more nail in the coffin.
It reminds me of all those other regeneration myths that ignore local people, such as the London Dome, Olympics, and many more. They often benefit developers at the expense of the community.
If you search the web for regeneration, you find Dr Who. Leave it to Science Fiction.

Son of The Exorcist
I'm back. Sorry to all of you in the blogosphere for the holiday, but I'm back. The trigger for my re-emergence from under the atheist rock from where I had hoped to ignore religion is an article in the Sydney Morning Herald on 02/04/11: http://www.smh.com.au/national/sympath-for-the-devil-sheds-light-on-exorcist-shortage-20110401-1crnr.html This news item tells us of a seminar in the Vatican to work out a strategy to combat devil-worship, the occult, satanist groups, sects, etc. Seminars scrutinised Satanism with "seriousness and scientific rigour". So good news to all rational people: the Catholic Church is now going to use scientific rigour - I hope they will use that same rigour on their own teachings, but somehow after centuries of doing otherwise, I doubt it. The seminars went on to warn of the dangers that the Twilight and Harry Potter series posed because they lead to an interest in the occult. Back in the 1970's the performer Alice Cooper was similarly considered a danger, after all he wore devilish make-up and sang rock-and-roll songs! Next came a warning of the danger that yoga, reiki massages, and tai chi posed, in that they could lead people into the grip of "demonic forces". By this time I was laughing out loud, but I totally gagged when the 80-yr-old father Gregory Jordan claimed that ouija boards and astrology posed a risk. Who needs to satirise religions when they provide such bizarre outpourings? So I checked my stars for today: "Events at Casa Capricorn are no: 1 on April's agenda, with a new domestic cycle beginning and movement taking off at a faster pace than your usual controlled rhythm. This week, a no-prisoners approach will only evoke friction and opposition. The machinery of the universe supports your asking for help rather than assuming you can do everything yourself". Now that I've read this I'm off to worship Satan in a graveyard at midnight under the full moon. I'll reserve my opinion of astrology for another blog. It constantly amazes me that normally sane grown-ups believe this far-fetched unsubstantiable nonsense. The article finished by telling us that there had been four exorcisms performed in the Brisbane Catholic archdiocese last week. It's funny how the devil only seems to possess those of the Catholic faith but leaves everyone else in the world alone. So stay away from Catholicism and you won't be possessed by the devil!

text: DO NOT BID. If you are interested, please send me a PM. Have three Pekin drakes for sale- $5 each. They are about 6 months old and we can't keep them because they are being overly enthusiastic with the females. They're quite big, would make a nice dinner, or else if you just want some pets. They are not really very social with humans and will be food if they aren't re-homed soon. I cannot ship them, but I travel a lot in a fairly wide range. We are near Ann Arbor, Michigan. I visit Grand Rapids, MI once a month, and I will be in Shipshewana, IN Friday and Saturday (Aug 13th and 14th) if you want them and you'll be around there. I can drop off anywhere along I-96 between A2 and Grand Rapids (when I go) and anywhere along roads between A2 and Shipshewana Friday morning or Saturday mid day. You're also welcome to arrange a time to pick them up. Here's one of them: And the other two are.... one is in the back here and one is in the middle of the three.

COMMENTShow Your Tires Love
These days we are all looking for ways to save gas. Gas can get pricey, especially if you do a lot of driving between work and errands and family activities. Buying gas over and over can be hard on the budget. Here are 8 easy but effective ways to save gas and save money too.
1. Check Your Air Filter
Keeping a clean air filter is one of the best ways to save gas. It's that thing the guys always try to get you to fix when you get your oil change. This time, don't pass. Replacing your air filter can improve gas mileage up to 10%. If you're not sure whether you really need to replace it (sometimes those fellas at the oil shop can be pushy) find a mechanic or friend knowledgeable about cars to help you decide.

|<nettime> The Revolutionary Role of a Transnational Counterparty
In explaining the Initiative to form an International Debtors' Party I have discussed the issues of why "Debtors" and why a "Party", now I would like to introduce some ideas as to how the Debtors' Party will be different from other parties, by proposing the idea of a "Transnational Counter-party."
A Transnational Counterparty is a transformative political organisation, that works towards the goals of a world with no classes and therefore no state.
It is Transnational, because, within itself, it recognizes no borders, and it is a Counter-party, because it's goal is not to transform society from top down by seizing the power of the State, but to fight for the social conditions required by existing and emerging community- initiated, bottom-up, forms of transformation. To engage in the political theatre and struggle against the plutocratic interests from the old society that would crush any new social developments that would challenge there privilege.
To be a transformative structure requires divergent outwardly and inwardly characteristics.
Being part of a transformation, such a structure is a creature of the current society, it's outwardly appearance and interfaces must be structured according the laws and practices of the existing society in order for it to function. Within itself it is an incubator for a new society and thereby the relations contained within itself must reflect those it want to achieve. It must be the revolution it seeks. It's external characteristics must be the characteristics it seeks in the society it strives to achieve.
Venture Communism is such a transformative model, externally a joint- stock corporation, internally fostering commons-based production, Copyleft and Copy-far-left are also such transformative models, externally claiming property rights, while internally creating an information commons.
Antithetical extrinsic and intrinsic characteristics are essential features of any transformative structure. Above all, the extrinsic structure must ensure that the regressive relations of the outside must not penetrate and corrupt those of the inside, the extrinsic characteristics must create a bastion that allows its intrinsic properties to develop and thrive.
A Transnational Counterparty is such a transformative model, externally a network of regionally-bound Political Parties that contest elections for representation within hierarchical, authoritarian Governments, but internally operating as a radically participatory, non-hierarchical collective that operates without borders.
The network of Political Parties it founds and co-ordinates must be legally recognized as eligible to participate in government, and thus, these local Parties are objects of specific Government jurisdiction. A Transnational Counterparty, however, must operate such local entities as extrinsic interfaces to local governments which are closely bound to it's own, fluid and participatory international internal democracy, and likewise it's elected candidates must not become holders of individual power, must must excercise power on behalf of the democratically established census of the global membership, contractually bound to do so, and to forfeit their position if they fail to do so. The ultimate power in the Transnational Counterparty must be held by the membership itself, and never either it's internal executive officials, nor it's candidates and representatives in local governments. All agents of the Transnational Counterparty must be held accountable to the global membership.
The Transnational Counterparty can not ever be a ruling party, though it may have electoral success in places, the plutocratic parties will always hold more power. This is not a rule or principle of that the party needs to observe, this is a simple biproduct of the fact that it represents the new society, the emerging autonomous, collective communities striving to create a new ways of living. The plutocratic parties represent the powerful economic forces of the current society, and thus will always have more power so-long as the current society is not yet transformed.
Once the social power of the communities represented by the Transnational Counterparty overcome the power of the plutocrats, this means that such a newtork of autonomous, independent and inter- dependant communities will be larger in it's social and economic base than that of the old society. Society will have already been transforme. classes will no longer exist, and without them nations will vanish. There will no longer be any ruling class or ruling party, the State will have withered away and the Transnational Counterparty will have dissolved into the fabric of the new society.
By the time a Transnational Counterparty has the power to seize the State, their will no longer be any State to sieze.
A nation is a body of people kept together for the purposes of rivalry and war with other similar bodies, and when competition shall have given place to combination, the function of the nation will be gone." -- William Morris

CHVRCHES Share "Down Side Of Me" Live Video for 7-Inches For Planned Parenthood
Earlier this month, members of the creative community announced 7-inches for Planned Parenthood, a curated series of 7-inch vinyl records and digital downloads to benefit Planned Parenthood. The project comprises contributions from acclaimed creative minds who stand with Planned Parenthood and its patients (see below for a full list of participants).
Today, the first single from the box set, a new version of "Down Side of Me (Live)" from acclaimed electro-pop trio CHVRCHES, is available for purchase and stream at Apple Music, iTunes and Spotify. Accompanying the release is a music video for the song directed by Kristen Stewart. Watch the video now below.
Of their contribution to the project, lead singer Lauren Mayberry says, "'Down Side Of Me'' was not written specifically for this project but I really like how the lyrics can be interpreted in a way that supports the goal of the project as a whole. We should all be able to have faith that our governments are working in our best interests - and if they aren't then, they should be challenged and held to account. 'I'll believe that you're all that you said you would be.'"
She continues: "We have always tried to be socially aware and to link in with organisations whose work we support. Planned Parenthood is an incredibly important resource for so many women (and men) in America and the fact that Planned Parenthood has come under so much fire in the current political climate does not sit well with us. Now is not the time to stay quiet, and if artists want to help by raising money or awareness for causes that we believe in, then I think that they should."
The cover artwork for the single is by Brooklyn artist William Villalongo, featuring one of his paintings from a series currently on display at the Susan Inglett art gallery in New York City. On his contribution to 7-inches, he says: "This new series reflects on the Black male presence in American society. Black male prison population statistics and the recent killing of unarmed Black youth, mostly male, such as Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown and Freddy Gray brought me to the project. The work addresses how society views (sees or can't see) Black men while also making concrete the staggering number of Black men literally absent from society in general. Art is a way to speak of the unspeakable through observation, feeling, metaphor and material. "
The entire 7-inches for Planned Parenthood vinyl boxset is available now for pre-order at 7inchesforplannedparenthood.com with a target of early fall for delivery. Each single will include a unique piece of artwork accompanying two sides of unique music, comedy or spoken word, many of which are given to Planned Parenthood, which provides reproductive health care to 2.5 million women, men, and young people each year.
The creative collective behind 7-inches for Planned Parenthood states:
Lawmakers with extreme views are working hard to shut down Planned Parenthood. If they succeed, millions of Americans will lose access to basic health services, including STD testing and treatment, birth control, and life-saving cancer screenings.
7-inches for Planned Parenthood is a response to this threat. This curated series of 7-inch vinyl records is being made by a group of people who believe that access to health care is a public good that should be fiercely protected. Do we know there's a joke in the name? We do. We hope the title evokes the rich history of 7-inch vinyl records as a medium for protest music and resistance.
Planned Parenthood will receive 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this 7-inch box set and streaming listens. We see this initiative as the start of something bigger, and hope it will inspire both contributors and listeners to continue to seek out ways to stand with Planned Parenthood and other institutions that are so vital to us all.
In addition to supporting 7-inches for Planned Parenthood, people can also visit IStandWithPP.org to find ways to get involved locally, contact their Senator and urge them to stand with Planned Parenthood, show their support for Planned Parenthood on social media using the hashtag #IStandWithPP, and share how Planned Parenthood has helped you.

'We Don't Want the Euro,' Says Czech Tycoon Poised to Be PremierBy and
Billionaire Babis says he aims to lead next government
Euro 'is bankrupt,' Babis says; 'It's about our sovereignity'
The Czech Republic won't be joining the euro anytime soon, if the billionaire who's poised to be the country's next prime minister has anything to do with it.
Andrej Babis, who claims he helped inspire French President Emmanuel Macron's En Marche! movement, is on track to win Czech general elections in October. But while Macron wants to speed European Union integration, work with Germany to solve the bloc's migrant crisis, and shore up the euro, Babis wants the opposite. His resistance to join the currency union echoes policies of the country's previous governments.
"No euro. I don't want the euro. We don't want the euro here," Babis said Friday in an interview on the sidelines of the reSITE cities conference in Prague. "Everybody knows it's bankrupt. It's about our sovereignty. I want the Czech koruna, and an independent central bank. I don't want another issue that Brussels would be meddling with."
Babis was fired as finance minister last month in a conflict-of-interest dispute tied to his agriculture, chemicals and media empire that's estimated by Forbes to top $3 billion. Despite the dismissal, voter support for his junior-ruling ANO party has surged on his pledge to run the country like a business after years of what he calls corrupt and inept management. The Slovak-born 62-year-old insists he's a centrist and rejects political labels, although he echoes nearby EU naysayers such as Hungary's Viktor Orban who oppose refugee quotas and ceding sovereignty.
ANO would win almost a third of the vote if ballots were cast now, up from 28 percent in April, according to a survey last week by the Stem pollster. The Social Democrats, with whom ANO rules in a three-party coalition government, fell into third place with 11 percent, behind the Communist Party.
Babis isn't alone in shunning the euro. While five countries from ex-communist eastern Europe have joined since 2004, consecutive Czech governments have refused to set a date and, according to a 2016 Eurobarometer survey, 72 percent of Czechs want to keep the koruna. The Czech currency has gained more than 20 percent against the euro since the country joined the EU in 2004. It appreciated 3 percent from the start of the year and traded 26.265 per euro as of 8:19 a.m. in Prague on Monday
French Connection
Babis, who owns La Paloma, a restaurant with two Michelin stars in the French Riviera town of Mougins, said he met with Macron in February 2016 along with France's richest man, Bernard Arnault.
"He asked me about my movement," Babis said. When asked if he served as an inspiration for the new French president, Babis replied: 'Yes. Macron followed me."
Babis said he plans to cut the government's administrative costs, stop people from "being parasites" in the social-benefit system, and fight for Czech interests abroad. He's ready to work with any political party, except the Communists and the conservative TOP-09, part of a government that collapsed in 2010.
While he oversaw a fiscal surplus last year -- a first for the country of 10.6 million people -- he said a balanced budget isn't "a mantra." He pledged to cut taxes and didn't object to borrowing to bring "growth, higher wages, higher gross domestic product, higher spending."
'Our Culture'
"The biggest added value of the European Union is the national identity of each country," said Babis. "A strong Europe thanks to strong states -- that's logical, no?"
He rejected criticism from the European Commission, which has launched infringement procedures against the Czechs, Hungarians and Poles for refusing to comply with an EU plan to shelter refugees. While German Chancellor Angela Merkel has championed an open-door policy, many eastern EU countries refuse to house arrivals.
"We have to fight for what our ancestors built here," Babis said. "If there will be more Muslims than Belgians in Brussels, that's their problem. I don't want that here. They won't be telling us who should live here."

Giving up writing as a career choice now certainly has freed up in me a lot of pressure from the standpoint of all the heady emotions I used to have. I'll bet now my health will improve as well, no more barrage of oddity squeaks and squirms, the hurts and fears here there that I used to endure. I'll be pain free until death do I part. Well, yeah, sure, why not?
People ask me about something and I plainly tell them. I don't wear much of a face on, but what ever I may have in the moment, I ride on the outside, and if I'm bored or tired or any thing, it's broadcast loud and clear, I guess. Or when I tell people something, my family way of speaking like a major authority, comes across as bossy or arrogant or I'm having to stop my day to tell you?
I guess that's what, from time to time people ask something, I tell them, then they tell me: "Okay, I didn't know. I was just asking. I've never been here before."
And I then really chafe. I say: And you asked me and it is my job to tell you and so I'm telling you.
Which isn't best under current circumstance, to be uttering. Just don't say any thing, or smile, mean it, and say; Have a nice day. Or I'm sorry. I'm really at a loss here for what I've done to hurt you. I didn't mean to. I was asked a question and I did my best to be as thorough as possible and answer your question and then some.
That, 'and then some', may not be necessary from time to time. They may only need a 'turn left at the crossroads', and nothing about the weather, or conditions of the sign; the minute descriptions of the myriad confounding little sidetracks, all along the way. They don't all need that, but pity me who's taught to be the best and is trying hard and ends up allowing them the opportunity to say something that you decide hurts you, and since you don't have anything of the sort in re - a poker face, your anger frustration screams out at the world through your visage, sorry!
One day some guy asked What are we shooting at today? You reply Same thing every day, the targets! They say the killer line "Never been here before".
Great, pissed us both off once again. I'm tired of this. I think, why are other people so emotionally super sensitive? Truth is, YOU are!

This time we brought Melissa, who's never been that far up north of our country, which was nice, and she was pretty tired after that loooooong but cozy journey up. In her own words, "Usually when I travel for that long, I end up somewhere more exotic."
It didn't take long before the action started and we had dinner with Anne-Lise, (In who's house we stayed in, a relative) and then we were invited to visit some other relatives just down the street.
Was there any point in having a shower? Not really, as we all spontaneously ended up going outdoors to play football. And we kicked the ball around for a few hours.
Even though Erik had been to work, he was still AWESOME on the field, and had to show off his springy skills after the game.
Even though the football field (if u can call it that) was only 5 minutes away we drove. Lazy? No.
Breakfast at Anne-Lise's. Her gorgeous porch. Lovely weather.
Then it was time for me and the brothers to go and practise in the church, as we were going to perform during the wedding.
Lunch on the veranda.
After cycling around town, we went and bought some lovely snacks from the shop and headed home for some cozy time.
The day after the wedding, except from being tired, we were invited on a trip to the brides family's house, a house that her grandmother grew up in, for fish soup.
It was nice with a boat trip in the morning. Even though the rocking of the waves made Melissa and Victoria even more tired.
Melissa and I had a bit of a cold, but luckily I had my medicine bag with me at all times, with vitamins, cough drops, pain killers and other fancy stuff.
Kåre was tired too, but he managed to stay on track to find the beautiful place where the old house was.
Sadly the weather was overcast, but it was not much wind, so it was very nice, and the location was stunning.
The cakes are coming! They brought the leftovers of the cakes from the wedding, which made us very very happy.
On our way home in the boat, snuggling up in our finest wind clothes, tackling the wind that splashes small drops of salty sea drops from the oncoming waves.
Lovely take-out dinner with Anne-Lise, steaks, kebabs and chips. And a wee bitty bit of salad.
Then we get a call from our fifth cousins, asking us to join them in playing football. And even though we're feeling full and fatty, we can't resist this spontaneous idea. I mean, when in Rørvik.
"Do you know what SAS stands for?" "Er… Special Air Service?" "SUPER ARMY SOLDIER"
Today it's a tiiiiny bit more serious. People wearing their sports gear, trainers and it's all ON!
Then we gather at Kåre's house, for some waffles and ice cream.
Rima decorates the waffles and lights a candle, because it also happens to be Eric's birthday! Oooh, 21 years old.
He celebrates by popping the rest of his snuff into his upper lip, and this should be enough nicotine to keep him going for a while.
Eric wins the bet against Torgeir, and manages to keep it in for fifteen minutes. Note the psycho in the back.
Then it is time to whip up the guitar and sing some songs, snuggled up in Kåre's cozy and warm living room, filled up on Ice cream, waffles, coffee and tea. Bliss.
Another great week, surmise next year will be just as great. Miss it already. AAAAAAAAAAH.

DVD Review: Breaking The Code: Behind The Walls Of Chris Jericho
DVD Review: Breaking The Code: Behind The Walls Of Chris Jericho
by THE INFAMOUS JCITY™
At age 19, Chris Jericho made his way to Alberta Canada to start his wrestling training. He met Lance Storm and they became instant friends. Jericho credits Storm as the reason he stuck with the camp. Jericho then says that the only thing that sucked about The Hart Brothers Pro Wrestling Camp was that there was no Hart brothers there to train them. The camp was ran on a book written by Stu Hart in the art of professional wrestling and the most effective ways to train to compete at a high-caliber. Lance Storm goes on to praise Jericho as a perfectionist and talked about how they pushed each other to be the best. Bret Hart says he remembered being impressed with a young Chris Jericho.

I bought this DVD the day it came out. It's the Highlight of my collection.

I love that Chris Jericho DVD. Most DVDs I wait for to get so I don't have to pay much for it. Hell, I paid like $4 for Bret Hart's DVD. But for Y2J, I got it almost as soon as it came out. He is worth the full price.
Great documentary and a rare Superstar DVD that actually features that Superstar's greatest matches and not just "lost classics" that aren't available on other DVDs. I hate the fact that if you buy the Stone Cold DVD, it doesn't have his greatest matches like his first title win and his WM match with Bret Hart. I ended up getting those matches on DVD anyway but it would have been nice if they were all on one DVD set.
I just wish Jericho's DVD had his RAW cage match against Batista when he won the World Heavyweight Championship but it was omitted so they could add it to the "Greatest Cage Matches" DVD. And thank God I have the 2001 Royal Rumble because that features was is definitely one of Jericho's best matches but it wasn't on his DVD because his opponent was Ch…..[vince mcMahon cuts off power to keyboard].

I don't have the money for DVD sets, but I'm sure it's a compelling life story for these guys.

ha….i just noticed that Jericho's right eye looks weird on the inside of the DVD packaging in that first pic you posted..

Did the dancing stars thing end already? What the hell is he waiting for dude needs to hurry up and come back.

Chris is simply the best.

Capt. Smooth :
He's become less expendable recently. The crowd really responds to him.
I don't know why but I'm really rooting for Morrison to come back soon. I'm not a huge Morrison fan but I actually miss him. You don't know what you got until it is gone. I hate Morrison's mic work but he's one of the most entertaining in-ring Superstars in the WWE. It's a shame that he couldn't be in the MITB match this year. I love the guys in the RAW MITB but this year will be interesting with no Jericho, Edge, or Morrison in the match. Hopefully a new MITB Legend will be born at the PPV. I don't recall ever seeing Rey Mysterio in a MITB match so that should be fun. If I'm not mistaken, it will be his first ever MITB match.
July 1, 2011 at 8:57 pm
From what I hear, Vince thinks that Morrison doesn't "fight" in the ring, he "performs".
July 2, 2011 at 12:56 am
They all perform! Vince is nuts. Maybe someone should ask Vince what HHH's golden boy Sin Cara does in the ring, becuase that's performing, not fighting.
July 2, 2011 at 10:34 am
I know. It's STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!

You know what's dissapointing? Having this short great feud with Punk vs Cena at MITB….but then going to Del Rio vs Cena at the second biggest ppv of the year.
"I'm gonna win the Championship becuase it's me destiny!" No thanks Del Rio. I just hope Punk stays around a little longer, becuase Del Rio vs Cena will be the most dissapointing feud of the summer, but you…you already knew that. *wink*
Del Rio = Santino, but not funny.
July 2, 2011 at 12:15 am
Santino should go back to being "Boris Alexiev".
July 2, 2011 at 12:31 am
Definately. But, he was one of "Paul Heyman's guys". Paul invented the Alexiev character.
July 2, 2011 at 10:36 am
That Russian gimmick was great…and his face turn was awesome!

I like Del Rio as a wrestler and I see the personality(shit-eating grin), but there does seem to be something missing from his character.

Rey should be good. I hope Swagger doesn't win. I want a credible guy to win not another fluke guy. I'm tired of the fluke cash ins. Some guys aren't worthy and shouldn't be fast tracked to the title using MITB. Swaggers first run was pathetic. I hope Kofi wins because that way he can finally stay his ass away from Dolph Ziggler.
Oh hells no! We need a champ who's an all American American American American American. Swagger's way better than Rey, Miz, Del Rio or whoever in the ring and he has a hotter wife than anyother WWE Superstar. Swagger should be main eventing.

Can't order or give out personal info online, due to my company's contract with the state. It's a bitch.
What the hell? Really? Wow.
July 5, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Yeah, my company has a contract with the state. If we lose it, it'll cost 40 to 50 jobs.

text: I am currently thinking about buying 2 or 3 two month old Polish pullet chickens. I am wanting a few more tame ones to add to my flock, because my current chickens are VERY skittish. I can't even touch one without them running and huddling into a corner. The owner says she does not handle her chickens everyday but they are "fairly tame". I really don't want to end up with more really skittish chickens.. My question is; Can 2 month old chickens become tame, to a sense where I could hold and pet them? Thanks, feedback is really appreciated.

Amazon.com Inc. shares slid 1.1% Thursday while bricks-and-mortar store operators rallied, after the Supreme Court ruled that states have the right to collect sales taxes on internet companies that do not have a physical presence in their states. Wayfair Inc. said in a statement that it "already collects and remits sales tax on approximately 80% of our orders in the U.S., a number that continues to grow as we expand our logistics footprint." The online furniture retailer doesn't expect the ruling to have a "noticeable impact" on its business.
Target Corp NYSE:TGT
Target (TGT) has managed to successfully turn around its business and put on a stellar show for its the last reported quarter, except on the margins front. Its growth initiatives are likely to accelerate its comps growth. Lower pricing is expected to drive Millennials to its store and website.
Target (TGT), Walmart (WMT), and Costco (COST) have been adjusting their businesses to offer convenience and value as the threat of Amazon (AMZN) continues. During its fiscal first quarter, its digital sales rose 66%, while comps, excluding fuel, increased 1.4%. Walmart and Target have both significantly ramped up their e-commerce businesses trying to match the services of Amazon.
The Supreme Court ruling has been cheered by brick-and-mortar stores, which have been struggling to survive the e-commerce onslaught. This saw shares of traditional retailers jump immediately.
Target (TGT) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock? We take a look at earnings estimates for some clues.

(NYSE: TGT), all you need to do is sign up now by clicking the following link www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=TGT. The Company reported its financial results on May 23, 2018, for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2018, ended May 05, 2018. For the reported quarter, Target surpassed analysts' estimates for revenues but missed earnings forecasts.
Shares of Kroger (KR) surged over 10% on Thursday to inch near their 52-week high after the company posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Investors were also likely pleased to see that the grocery chain's e-commerce initiatives started to pay off. The question is should investors think about buying grocery stocks as Amazon-based (AMZN) fears seem to have been overblown.
Complying with a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Thursday that forces online retailers to collect sales tax just like their brick-and-mortar counterparts will be a heavy burden for smaller e-commerce businesses. The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed states to make online retailers collect sales tax, siding against e-commerce companies like Wayfair Inc (W.N) and Overstock.com Inc (OSTK.O) in their high-profile fight with South Dakota.

How Did the Consumer Sector Fare Last Week? On June 11, Newell Brands (NWL) announced an expansion to its stock repurchase authorization. H&R Block (HRB) announced its fiscal fourth-quarter results after the market closed on June 12.
It's not waiting to see what Amazon's health care plans are.
Costco's (COST) earnings per share have seen double-digit growth over the past five quarters. In comparison, Walmart (WMT) has also improved its EPS. Target's (TGT) EPS returned to a growth trend during the recently reported fiscal first quarter.
Costco (COST) has posted impressive sales performance over the past several quarters and has outperformed both Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT). During the recently concluded quarter, Costco's comps (comparable store sales) in the US grew 7.7% (excluding the changes in fuel prices and currency movements). This is higher than Walmart's 2.1% growth (excluding fuel) and Target's 3.0% increase.
Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s division Google has announced its plans to invest $550 million in, JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:JD), one of the largest Chinese e-commerce companies. This will aid the company in strengthening footprints in the growing global online retail market. The partnership will allow the e-commerce company to list its products on Google's shopping site which will help it to expand customer reach.
At a time when retail giants like Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), and Amazon (AMZN) are fiercely competing for a greater share of consumer spending, Costco (COST) is enjoying smooth sailing. When Amazon disrupted the grocery space with its 2017 Whole Foods acquisition, Wall Street analysts were most concerned about the prospects for Costco stock.

Retail stocks have been hot as a pistol of late. Perhaps their demise at the hands of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) was greatly exaggerated. Or maybe the expectations bar was set so low that upside surprises were all but a guarantee. Regardless of the reason, the retail industry is seeing its constituents pepper the new highs list.
The company's effort sounds similar to what another retailer is already trying.
While Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods has rattled the grocery industry, it has brought new business models and partnerships for Google.

Amazon (AMZN) might have forever changed the grocery industry exactly one year ago when the e-commerce giant bought Whole Foods for roughly $14 billion on June 16, 2017. Today, grocery delivery is commonplace across the entire industry.
