Though DC has been producing successful live-action superhero shows for decades (Smallville and Arrow in the last decade alone), Marvel has had but one major TV success under its belt in the form of The Incredible Hulk - and that went off the air over 30 years ago. Hopefully, more success is on the way with the release of the Joss Whedon-produced Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which will, as the name implies, follow the exploits of a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has been ramping up publicity for a while now with trailers, TV spots, and featurettes. And though we've known for months that the show would be debuting in "fall 2013," now we know the precise premiere date.
Check it out below, courtesy of the official Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Twitter account:
It's official. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premieres Tuesday, September 24 at 8|7c on ABC. Are you ready?
— Agents of SHIELD (@AgentsofSHIELD) July 16, 2013
Well, are you, Screen Ranters? Are you ready?
It's no secret that much of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be about Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) - the leader of the titular team of agents - who seemingly died by way of impalement about 3/4ths of the way through The Avengers. How, then, is Coulson still walking around being all deadpan in the upcoming TV show? Marvel isn't telling - at least, not yet.
But that doesn't mean we'll never get an explanation, as co-creator Jed Whedon (Joss' brother) recently said:
"We can't wait to pull the curtain back on [Coulson's return]. But we're going to take our time."
So there you have it. If you want to know how Agent Coulson managed not to die in The Avengers (if indeed he didn't die - a life model decoy is always a possibility), then you're going to have to stick out Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to find out.
It'll be interested to see how "Whedonesque" S.H.I.E.L.D. ends up being. Though The Avengers is most definitely a Joss Whedon movie, it's arguably the least Whedonesque project he's ever been involved with. Could Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. similarly tone down the Whedonisms in an effort to jibe more effortlessly with the Marvel Movie Universe from whence it sprang? We wouldn't be surprised if - now that Joss has proved his worth to the tune of $1.5 billion - S.H.I.E.L.D. were a little bit more akin to the Whedon shows of old (e.g. Buffy, Angel, and Firefly), only now with a bigger budget and the Marvel brand to cushion its ratings.
For those of you still on the fence about whether or not you want to check out the show, here's the synopsis:
Fresh from his role in the summer's box office smash, 'The Avengers,' Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D. He puts together a small, highly trained, team of Agents to tackle the cases that haven't been classified yet, the new, the strange and the unknown. That team consists of straight arrow Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen); and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). They'll be joined by civilian new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).
Prepare for an epic adventure that showcases the hope and wonder of the human spirit. This is a world of Super Heroes, aliens and the unusual – of action, spectacle and world spanning stories. The show will speak to the human condition through the lens of our very human, non-powered S.H.I.E.L.D agents – that together we are greater than we are apart, and that we can make a difference in the world.

(AP) Blackhawks, Bruins head into Game 6 without stars
By JIMMY GOLEN
AP Sports Writer
Patrice Bergeron joined his Bruins teammates for a postgame dinner and was with them when they flew back to Boston to prepare for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
When they arrived at TD Garden on Sunday afternoon, he got off the bus, walked to a car without crutches or assistance and was driven off.
As the Cup final approaches a sixth and potential clinching game Monday night, the attention shifted from the players on the ice to the ones who might not make it there, including two of the top forwards and biggest stars in the series.
Neither Bergeron nor Chicago's Jonathan Toews finished Game 5 on Saturday night, and while their coaches expressed optimism that they would be able to play in Game 6, it was shrouded in the typical secrecy surrounding NHL injuries.
Bergeron was injured in the second period of Saturday night's game, which the Blackhawks won 3-1 to take a 3-2 lead in the series. He made two brief appearances on the ice in the third but something was obviously wrong and he was unable to complete either shift.
Toews, who won the Selke Award as the NHL's top defensive forward–Bergeron was a finalist–missed the entire third period after a shot to the head from Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk.
Bergeron was taken from the United Center to a Chicago hospital in an ambulance for observation. He was released later Saturday night and rejoined his teammates for a team meal.
He did not speak to reporters on Sunday. Asked to elaborate on the injury, Julien said, "Body injury."
The Blackhawks lost Toews after Boychuk knocked him down in the slot, making contact with his head. Boychuk wasn't penalized, and NHL spokesman John Dellapina said Sunday that the league reviewed the hit and there will be no supplemental discipline.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville alluded to the contact with the head but then said, "I'm not going to go there."
Toews was tied with Patrick Kane for the Blackhawks' team lead with 23 goals during the regular season. Since being reunited with Kane on Chicago's top line in Game 4, Chicago has rallied to take the lead in the best-of-seven series. Before he was knocked out of Game 5, Toews assisted on both of Kane's goals.
Quenneville said Toews was doing much better and the team is optimistic he will be able to play in Game 6.
With or without Toews and Bergeron, the Blackhawks have a chance to clinch their second Stanley Cup title in four seasons on Monday night in Boston. If they lose, the series returns to Chicago for a decisive seventh game Wednesday.

I, Rufus
You may be wondering why there has been very little news from Awkward Hill recently. That's because Victoria has been very busy looking after ME. My name is Rufus, I am a Tibetan Terrier, and I'm 10 weeks old today.
I joined the family at Awkward Hill just over a week ago, and Victoria says I'm getting bigger and hairier by the day. I also like gardening, as you can see. (Just as well...)
We Tibetan Terriers are an honourable and ancient breed. We're not really terriers at all (that's just what ignorant Westerners called us when they first came across us in our homeland). We are working dogs, and for hundreds of years we have herded livestock and even guided travellers along mountain paths.
Victoria says that having a new puppy is like having a new baby in the house (except that you don't have to run round the lawn at 6am with a new baby). I'm training her to feed me on demand, take me outside to play ball every five minutes (yes, I can already retrieve a ball) and generally cater to my every whim. She's slowly getting the idea.
I know some of you will want to know how the cats reacted to my arrival. I'd like to say that they greeted me with open paws, but Luigi swore at me and Mario vanished upstairs. I ran after him to say hello, but he just ran even faster.
Luigi really scared me - he fluffed up all over! He will now agree to come within a yard of me, but he still gives me The Look when he thinks Victoria isn't looking. Mario is still upstairs.

Fulfilling a Passion
Torrence Boone Lends Talents to the Joyce Board
Over the years, Torrence Boone has had a varied career in the consulting and digital sector, one that contrasts greatly with his early beginnings as a dancer. Mr. Boone, originally from Baltimore, discovered dance as a 13-year-old at Phillips Academy Andover. Rather than playing a spring sport his freshman year, he took a jazz class.
"I was totally hooked," said Mr. Boone, who danced all through high school and college and briefly professionally for small pickup companies in San Francisco. (He studied economics at Stanford.)
Though Mr. Boone took the corporate route working as a strategy consultant at Bain and Company, after Harvard Business School, he took a summer sabbatical dancing at Jacob's Pillow. "That was a reconnection before fully selling out," he recalled.
Four more years at Bain led to a stint at the digital marketing agency now known as Razorfish, which led to work at Digitas. It was there, in the fall of 2005, that the Joyce contacted him about joining the board. A friend from Bain had joined a consultancy that the Joyce Theater in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood had hired to expand their board in anticipation of a new 1000-seat theater at the World Trade Center.
"It was serendipity and luck," Mr. Boone said. "She mentioned my name because she knew I was a dancer and was passionate about the arts. I was incredibly excited. The Joyce has always been a nexus of the dance community in New York."
Mr. Boone said the process of joining took several months and was "pretty rigorous," involving interviews with several board members. He came on board, so to speak, at the age of 36 that December.
Beyond financial and operational responsibilities, Mr. Boone sits on the marketing committee. His goals are to make sure "that people are aware of the Joyce, that we fill the house and that we leverage new and emerging media to stay relevant." He explained that though he has been asked to join other charitable boards in the city, he feels a "deep passion" for the Joyce. "The expectation is that you're there 120 percent."
Mr. Boone lives in the Flatiron with his partner, and though he continues to take the occasional modern or hip-hop class at Steps or the Broadway Dance Center, he does more yoga than dance. Now a managing director of agency development at Google, he tries to find time to squeeze in performances at New York City Ballet and, of course, the Joyce. "It's sort of my favorite, obviously," he said.

I haven't really written much about my own dietary issues besides indicating that I'm gluten free. I guess that's because I have just accepted the way I need to eat to keep myself pain free and healthy. See it's been a bit of a long journey for me this food thing, and unfortunately I didn't find anyone to be very helpful near the beginning when testing for celiac disease would have been appropriate - because I was still eating gluten. I was told that I probably had IBS and that there was nothing much to be done. We are talking about 8 or 9 years ago now.
I think it started when I was doing a very stressful job running a department of the luxury department store, Liberty in London. A couple of years out of college and pretty disillusioned with the world I'd spent 3 years preparing to enter (costume design), I found myself working my way up the career ladder in retail - just because it seemed easier to follow than my disappointment at not enjoying working in film.
Surprising as it would seem to anyone who knows me now, I did not pay attention to my diet. I lived on a heady combination of cigarettes, coffee and biscotti. Now I don't mean I had these in addition to other sustenance, like maybe vegetables or home cooked food, this was my diet! Needless to say, I got pretty thin, had headaches, bad skin and suffered from anxiety. I was in pretty constant pain with my guts, but I didn't pay it that much attention - I just thought I was hungry or something, and that's good right? (wrong - duh)
Eventually life moved along, I got all burnt out and just had to take care of myself. I started to look at my diet and eat better. But my stomach seemed to react to so many foods I didn't understand. This is when I got the IBS diagnosis. So I tried to avoid things that aggravated my stomach and was always trying some new combination of avoided foods. Nothing worked really, I still got alot of pain, but I thought that I just had to put up with it.
Then I cut out wheat and that seemed to make a big difference. Ah, I thought! I have a wheat intolerance. So I ate rye bread and oats instead, pot barley and spelt occasionally too. I still had pain, but it was ok - much better than before.
Eventually I realised (only a couple of years ago now) that I couldn't really tolerate dairy either (except cream and butter, ha ha!) and when I cut out all forms of gluten I was pretty much ok. I hadn't even realised that the Barleycup I had been washing down my breakfast with for years, could have been causing me problems.
Fin too seemed to be sensitive to wheat, although ok with oats. So he just ate the same food as me. It was tough when he went to friends houses, or his dad had a big crusty sandwich, but as he began to connect the symptoms with the gluten, he didn't want to eat it either.
Now I come to the crux of this rather long post. Neither of us have been diagnosed as celiacs - although I'm pretty sure we are. I recently had oats for a week as a test to see if I could cope and I had a foggy head, achy joints, no energy, eczema on my cheeks and gut pain which went after three days of cutting out the oats (celiacs - sound familiar?)
I have been reading up on celiac diagnosis and all the tests rely on consuming gluten in large amount for six weeks to induce damage in the intestines and cause changes in the blood (antibodies to gluten and raised white blood cell count). Given that I know how much gluten affects me, I don't want to give over six weeks to feeling awful just so I can get a badge telling me what I know already. But for Fin, I think I need a diagnosis so that when we enter teenage years I know whether I can let him make his own mind up or insist he sticks to the diet because he is a diagnosed celiac.
We're seeing the doctor this week and I guess he's going to prescribe weetabix for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and pasta for supper. Any thoughts on this dilemma would be welcomed with open (and slightly tearful) arms.......

Aerial Dance Over Denver (ADOD) was founded in 2007 by Gayle Lynne. The studio, which is located on Hampden Avenue in Denver, is the first and only aerial training center in the state of Colorado. Gayle took a class in aerial dance and was impressed when she saw how it empowered the students in the class. Because of that, she decided to open her own studio to help encourage and inspire people in the Denver area.
Aerial Dance Over Denver has 5 trained instructors which teach classes in their state of the art 3,000 square foot studio. The studio features 7 stations and 35 rigging points. A specially designed floor allows students the opportunity to incorporate floor dance into their routines. In addition to teaching at the dance studio, most of the instructors have toured and performed in the United States, Europe and Canada.
If you would like to try aerial dancing, but aren't sure how or where to start, Gayle suggests a class in aerial basics or aerial fitness. Both of these classes will allow you to try different apparatuses, learn basic aerial techniques, and develop the fitness and strength to progress to more advanced classes. She also suggests viewing the video on aerial dance on her website so that you can see what aerial dancing is all about. The video can be seen at http://www.aerialdanceoverdenver.com/index.html
The studio also has a wide variety of events designed to entertain and allow the public to learn about aerial dance. Right now, the studio is accepting applications for the 5th Annual Aerial Circus Summer Camp from June 5th to August 5th. The camp is held Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 12 pm. During weekly camp sessions, kids, teens, and even adults can learn about aerial dance and increase their physical fitness levels. Camp tuition is $210 per week; however, if you sign up before May 31st, you will be able to lock in a special weekly tuition rate of $195. There are also family discount rates, as well as discounts for those who sign up for several sessions during the camp.
A Mother's Day "High" Tea is also in the works. For more information, see the website at http://www.aerialdanceoverdenver.com.
Past events open to the public have included a Halloween Haunted Aerial Show, a Winter Carnival, a Starlight Celestial Party, and a Leprechaun's Magic Show and party.
In addition to events, the studio also has an entertainment troupe that can perform at your party or event. A portable rig enables the aerial entertainers to perform at your location, or you can bring your special event to the studio. For more information on this, call the studio at 303-771-0161.

Income inequality raises the ire of most liberals. At the same time, while ostensibly unaware of the veracity, these self-proclaimed Progressives are thankful for the gifts that inequity brings. Caucasians customarily receive higher wages, better health care and health care coverage. Indeed, a pinkish person is more likely to be hired and less likely to be fired. In the area of education, the divide cannot be more evident, that is unless we ask white persons about their careers. Most do not realize or wish to recognize what has been their truth for all of their lifetimes. White people are privileged people. To acknowledge what is and seems so natural is to admit that one's equalitarian philosophies are not their practices.
The American story, or at least the one we tell ourselves is, if we work hard, beginning in school, we will achieve. We merely need to complete our degree[s], find a job, and start a family. Every step of the way we build a foundation for a strong and stable future. Life is good. That is the myth that collectively, we believe. In the United States, everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. The question is considering the prevalence of poverty in America, is this true?
We need only look at the numbers, and of course, our perceptions.
Black and Brown people are disproportionally poor. Those whose skin is a golden-yellow hue also struggle, more or less so, dependent on the educational level attained and the Ancestral country of origin. Fifty [50] nations, countless ethnicities within each are identified as Asian-Americans. A monolith? Hardly. Refugees, persons who immigrated to the States from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam often arrive as exiles evacuees, or political expatriates. These persons tend to be less educated, a significant percentage are low-wage earners. Statistically, the number of Asian-Americans without a high school education far exceeds the numbers of whites without.
"Specific ethnic groups, the Hmong, the Bangladeshi, have poverty rates that rival the African-American poverty rate." The Hmong value family and agriculture above education. Yet, the stereotype persists, perhaps chastened by the reality that Asian-Americans rather not draw attention to the discrimination they experience. Setting that aside, with or without attentiveness our impressions, shape our reality, policies, and practices. Let us consider who, what, how, when, and where an individual obtains entrance to a University. Also, let us examine as The Atlantic did, How America's 2-Tiered Education System Is Perpetuating Inequality,
In the United States, more and more students turn to community colleges for an education. Tuition costs are less, as are standards for admission. Geographic proximity also makes a two-year degree more attractive. Community colleges have been portals for the under-served. The Administration understands this and encourages this entrance. However, in recent years the rush to attend these institutions has waned.
The explanations are many. Most notably, the cost of attending college, even a community college soared. "Economists predict the cost of attending state colleges will soar to $120,000 by 2015. Currently over $40 billion in student loan debt has forced many former students into financial bondage or even bankruptcy." The increased cost is not correlated with inflation.
The most visible reason is tuition costs continues to rise. Confluence and convenience became the reason. More than a score ago, we saw a dramatic change in the structure of student loans. In 1992, the Federal Stafford Loan program was altered. "Uncle Sam opened the floodgates to government-backed student loans without parent income restrictions." Colleges rejoiced and met the news with open arms. The sudden injection of millions of additional aid dollars was seen as an opportunity to increase tuitions. The promotion of the Stafford Loan program as a low-costly option was a cause and an effect. The two together became the formula for hyperinflationary costs. However, the tale of dollars and "sense" is but one chapter in an invisible and insidious reckoning.
The April 2012 Center for Higher Education report reveals another daunting reality. Author and Researcher Dr. Gary Rhodes analyzed the changing climate. Rhodes observed a "complicated cascade effect." The exploding cost of a college education coupled with enrollment limitations at four-year institutions resulted in a complex paradigm shift. Today, more middle and upper class students choose community colleges. At the same time, these institutions, like all others, receive less public funding. Classes are filled to capacity. The combination of these dynamics leave less room for low-income and minority students. Were students from any socioeconomic standing to apply for enrollment in the more prestigious Universities, other realities might lock them out.
Accessibility. Many universities have gone the way of online coursework, arguing, this method would break the barriers that divide the haves from the have-nots. However, this move too magnified the gulf. For-profit education entrepreneurs and elite research universities maximized the potential for growth. Personal gains were supplanted by capital gains. The faculty at Amherst, in 2006, chose a different route. The University decided to reserve the majority of its transfer slots for students coming from community college. In some ways, the choice represented potentially a more radical commitment to underprivileged students than online courses.
Amherst president emeritus Anthony Marx states when speaking about four year colleges, many have restrictive transfer policies that heavily weight factors like SAT scores. This standard coupled with a lack of funding for community colleges exacerbated the consequences. Transfer policies are extremely selective, the circumstances are even more dire. Inequity increases. . The Century Foundation report found that while 81.4 percent of students enter community college plan to transfer and complete a four-year degree, just 11.6 percent are able to do so within six years.
Considering the small number who successfully transition, and that overwhelmingly community colleges serve low-income people and minorities, the higher education system remains two-tiered. Scholars and notables have described the arrangement as "separate but equal." "You basically cannot join the middle class without a postsecondary credential at this point," said Eduardo Padrón, the president of Miami-Dade College, America's largest community college. And how do people obtain a post-secondary degree? Dependant on you socioeconomic status, easily or not so easily.
Community colleges which serve 44 percent of current college enrollees, are chronically underfunded, just as their students before and after enrollment are under-served. Most of the money that supports higher education flows to elite research universities, not to the community colleges or the state schools that educate large numbers of Americans. The divide might be most evident in the value diverential. The direct and indirect help Princeton receives, including tax breaks, is near $54,000 a year per student in federal subsidies. "The College of New Jersey, a public institution a mere 12 miles away, receives a total of about $1,600 a year per student in federal and state subsidies."
You decide. Did a Princeton graduate go it alone? Did his or her success come at great expense, and to whom? Was the communicty college student given an equal chance? Just out of curiosity, who makes up the 38 percent of American minorities Princeton purports to be in the undergraduate student body and what about the sixty [60] percent who receive financial aid? Why might it be that 23 percent of Princeton students take out loans and the average debt at graduation is $5,225 while the average college student graduates with about $28,000 in personal debt? Is there a two-tiered education system and does it perpetuate inequality? Watch out for your answers. You too might be influenced by invisible and insidious biases.

XWA Wrestling Recap for November 2012: RevengeDecember 3, 2012
It's cold and outside but it's hot hot hot here inside Sam de Champlain in picturesque Saint John New Brunswick. We're set for another evening of XWA Wrestling action. If you're hockey starved and need a good dose of brutality and hard hitting this is the place to get your fix.
Tonight in one-on-one action we're set to see Nightmare taking on El Handsomo. Another singles contest will have the defending XWA Tag Team Champion R&R Express defending their belts against the Wave Riders. The R&R Express still have some new car smell in their gear but when these two hit the ring, there seems to be little doubt that they belong in the squared circle.
"The Muscle Beast From Muscle Beach" Wesley Pipes will be battling "The Canadian Icon" Ryan Heath. Since the one-night-only reformation of Above Average back at Quest For Gold, Heath (former tag team partner with Durning) has seemingly gone his own way. Tonight is the continuation of that solo journey back to singles competition for the well decorated former champion.
And in the main event, relative newcomer to the XWA Pat Perswayze will be tackling Dazzling Dick Durning. If you recall, Durning has been out of action since Quest For Gold where he suffered an unspecified injury (rumour has it the injury was in fact a torn quadricep). One has to wonder if this injury is fully healed and whether this is in fact a wise decision on his part to get back to action this soon after such a serious injury.
Time to get down to business and find out.
[What follows is a recap of the November XWA event, "Revenge".]

Segment One—A Video of Last Month's Event Plays for the Fans
The production crew rolls a video package highlighting the action at Aftermath (XWA's October offering). Before we got into the action, another video package plays showing a great Remembrance Day tribute to the men and women who have served and continue to serve in the Canadian armed forces worldwide. Never forget folks.
Let's get to the action!
Match Two—Shaheer Rasool (c) vs Sunny Warcloud
The first match of the evening will see an impromptu matchup of sorts. Last month Sunny Warcloud and Shaheer Rasool met up in a hard fought contest. The match ended in a DQ when Rasool refused to break the hold after putting Warcloud in the Persian Necktie while Warcloud's foot was on the ropes. Post match, Rasool proceeded to deliver the Al Queda Plunge to referee Steve Doussaud sending him to the showers early in the evening.
Sunny Warcloud says he got screwed last month, and Hum has granted a re-match tonight. On top of that, he tells the fans that the Sheik has been banned from ringside. This will hopefully make this more of a fair one on one matchup.
Rasool wastes no time as he jumps Warcloud from behind. A ref hits the ring and calls for the bell, making this one official. Rasool delivers a running knee to the head by as Warcloud lies helpless in the corner.
Rasool continues applying pressure as he sends Warcloud into the ropes and into a sidewalk slam. Running knee to the throat by Rasool. Looks like he is going to try and put this one away quickly as he scales the turnbuckle.
Rasool soars through the air and partially misses a big elbow off the turnbuckle. Rasool still crawls over for a pin and gets a count of 2. Warcloud is out on the floor now collecting his thoughts. As Warcloud attempts to climb back into the ring, Rasool knees him to the head sending him back to the floor. Rasool is now on the apron and Warcloud takes control as he is able to reach over the ropes, get him up into position, and slam him from the apron to the floor outside the ring.
Both men continue to battle ringside. Warcloud.hammers Rasool and appears to be gaining some momentum. Warcloud sends Rasool face first into the guard rail causing the fans to shriek. The fans put their feet up to the edge of the security railing as Warcloud slams Rasools face into some kids size 4 Nike's. Warcloud does it again!
Warcloud is pumped and high fiving the fans while Rasool tries to catch his breath. Both men are finally back in the ring and Warcloud circles him like a lion stalking his prey. Jumping axehandle to the forehead by Warcloud to Rasool followed by a fallaway slam. The balance of power has definitely shifted.
Warcloud proceeds to drives his knee into Rasool's back and Rasool is howling. Warcloud moves on to digging the elbow into Rasool's back with the same result. Warcloud looks like he is about to pull Rasool into a surfboard but then applies a reverse chokehold to Rasool instead.
Just when you begin to wonder if Warcloud is heading for an upset, Rasool turns the tables. As they both run the ropes and criss-cross each other, Rasool lands a flying spinning boot to head which takes Warcloud off his feet.
Rasool heads up top again and misses with the attempted 480. Quick flurry of action and you can feel that this one is nearing an end Rasool misses a big clothesline. Quick roll-up pin attempt but Warcloud only gets a two count. And out of nowhere, Rasool nails the Al Queda plunge and transitions into the Persian necktie for the tap out victory.
Post-match Rasool delivers an RKO by to the referee and he is down for the count. Before any more damage can be done, in comes Dick Durning for the save. Durning sends Rasool into the ropes but Rasool hangs onto the ropes, drops to the mat, and slides out before he can eat any offense from Durning.
Segment Two—James Steele Updates the Fans on His Status with Izabella Bliss
James Steele provides an update on the status of he and his valet stating that everything is okay and they've mended fences. Steele is confident he can beat Versace but Versace hits the ring to suggest he doesn't think so. Before this segment ends, we have Jonny Versace and James Steele set for action next month. For Steele the prize is the XWA Elite Championship title. For Versace, it's Izabella Bliss.
Match Two—Jonny Versace (c) vs Kajimuta
No match between Versace and Steele tonight however, 'cause we are getting Jonny Versace versus someone named Kajimuta. This one was pretty short and sweet, and saw Versace putting his brute force and strength on full display.
The highlight was when Versace brought this contest to an end via spinning neckbreaker while his opponent hung by his feet from the ropes. Steele slid into the ring from behind and was ready to pounce.
Just as Steele was about to unleash his superkick,Versace used his ring savvy and catlike reflexes to dodge the kick, drop to the mat, and exit stage left. The match may be over, but the tension between these two is palpable. But we'll have to wait until Christmas to watch this veritable pot of good versus bad boil over.
Segment Three—Pat Perswayze Can Lunge
The crowd is treated to a video in which Pat Perawayze shows everyone how to do lunges properly. Oh yeah, and Dick Durning, you can't do this….
Match Three—Nightmare vs El Handsomo
El Handsomo doesn't want any part of Nightmare but evidently the match is booked. Handsomo starts by running straight into a huge clothesline which takes him off his feet. Nightmare delivers stiff forearms to the back of Handsomo.
Nightmare hits one of the best snap suplexes I've seen in some time. This seems to take the wind out of Handsomo's sails as he struggles to get to his feet. When he finally does get back up, he's met with another huge clothesline for his troubles. Nightmare follows this up with a legdrop and then an Irish whip.
Handsomo shows some signs of life as he avoids an attempted splash by Nightmare. Handsomo follows that up as he proceeds to kick Nightmare in the back of the head, followed by some knees to the forehead of Nightmare.
Handsomo appeared ready to continue the offense and headed up the turnbuckle. Nightmare was ready, however, as he caught Handsomo midflight and turned it into a sitout slam that all but knocked the life out of Handsomo. This was followed by a pin and that was it.
Post match, two of Nightmare's druids enter the ring behind him. One suddenly nails the other and follows that by wrapping a chain around his hand. He lands a huge right to Nightmare, knocking him out cold. Off comes the robe, and to the crowds surprise, it's KI Real!
Match Four—R&R Express (c) vs. Wave Riders
And now it's time for the tag team gold to be defended as the latest team to climb to the top of the mountain the R&R Express, defend their titles against fan favourites, the Wave Riders. Worth noting here is that Rick has one of his legs heavily wrapped. No news floating through the Twittersphere as to whether this is an injury suffered in the ring or something acquired during training. We'll see if this plays a factor or not in the outcome.
Starting the match are Mikey and Rodney. Rodney controls the action at the start and makes a quick tag to Rick. R&R Express execute a little double team action before Rodney steps out. The Wave Riders started taking over from here and, as one would expect, zeroed in on Rick's injured leg.
Mikey pulled Rick over to the Wave Riders' corner and locked in a single legged crab. He made the tag to Kayden who joined his brother in executing a double legged crab. Kayden stays on that knee as he picks Rick up and drops him on it.
Quick tag and back in comes Mikey who picks up a count of two. Rick instinctively rolls Mikey over for a two-count of his own. Mikey seems a little startled by this and takes Rick back into the Wave Rider corner. Rick punches his way out, but Mikey kicks him in the leg, taking him back to the mat.
The Wave Riders continue to tag in and out keeping Rick fighting for his life. Kayden runs across the ring and jumps off Mikey's back (kneeling) at Rick who is still in the corner. Rick catches him and drops him back first onto Mikey's back.
After another short burst where the Wave Riders maintained control, Rick FINALLY tagged in Rodney. Having spent a lot of time on the apron waiting to get into the action, Rodney cleaned house.
As everyone works their way back into the fray, Kayden reaches into Rick and Rodney's cooler and grabs a beer. He turns and clobbers Rodney with it and it splashes everywhere. Roll-up pin for the win and we have NEW XWA Tag Team Champions! And not only are the Wave Riders taking the tag straps away, they are taking the R&R Express' cooler with them!
Match Five—Wesley Pipes vs "The Canadian Icon" Ryan Heath
In the first match post-intermission we have a classic matchup with Wesley Pipes taking on Ryan Heath. Pipes gets the early nod with a nice arm drag. Heath counters by taking Pipes down into a reverse chinlock. Pipes shows off some mat wrestling skills as he works his way out of the hold and back to his feet.
Both Heath and Pipes deliver some offense off the ropes, as well as some counters including Pipes issuing a big elbow to the side of Heath's head.
Heath hits a back body drop then pulls down his knee pad before dropping his knee to the face of Pipes. Both men, back to their feet, trade forearms before Pipes delivers a double chop to the throat of Heath. Pipes focuses on taking Heath off his feet with a series of chokes.
Pipes attempts a legdrop, but misses. There is a Polish Hammer sighting as Heath drops Pipes to the mat and outside the ring. Heath eventually chases Pipes outside the ring and back in. Pipes catches Heath on re-entry, stopping him cold.
Pipes works the headlock again trying to wear Heath out. Heath eventually was able to power up and hit a fallaway slam. Heath follows up with a belly to back suplex, but Pipes blocks a second attempt. Pipes nails a scorpion deathdrop followed by a two count. Pipes follows that up with an inverted suplex slam. Pipes seems to be in control now.
Perhaps smelling victory, Pipes goes for the big boot to the face, but Heath catches him and delivers four successive belly to back suplexes. Lastly, he bridges into a pin attempt but to most everyone's surprise, Pipes kicked out at two.
Heath tries for a submission with the Ryan Tamer, but Pipes is able to crawl to the bottom rope to break the hold. Both men are outside the ring now. Heath slams Pipes face onto the mat from the outside. The referee is counting. At about the six-count, Heath begins laying on the chops. Pipes returns them back as the ref continues to tell them to get back in the ring.
Pipes sends Heath into the post outside and the referee calls for the bell. This one goes to a no contest as both men appeared to disregard an attempt for a pin in hopes of perhaps delivering a crucial blow to either put his opponent on the shelf, or end their career.
Segment Four—Nelson Hum Warns Rasool
President Nelson Hum issues a stern warning to Shaheer Rasool that there is to be no more attacking the referees. If there are any more attacks on XWA officials, Shaheer Rasool will be stripped of the belt.
Segment Five—Pat Perswayze Can Train
Pat Perswayze shows us another video highlighting his training abilities. And of course he reminds everyone (especially Dick Durning), that you can't do this.
Match Six—Dazzling Dick Durning vs Pat Perswayze
Perswayze takes his time before getting into an initial lockup. There's been a lot of online chatter from Perswayze but now that it is "push comes to shove" time, he doesn't look nearly as interested in getting in the ring with Durning.
This one starts off with Durning taking Perswayze down into a front facelook. Durning is already favouring his leg and Perswayze is quick to notice. Perswayze does a little "Karate Kid Crane" move and hops on one leg across the ring only to be met with a big boot to the face by Durning.
It was at about this point (early on in the match) that Perswayze took control and started working on Durning's leg. All Durning could do was work his way to the ropes and grab on, forcing the referee to break the hold. But each time he got at the leg, he did a bit more damage. And eventually, the damage was done. And with very veteran presence, Perswayze continued with the legwork.
Mid match, Perswayze throws Durning off the ropes and then dropkicks his quad, sending him reeling. Perswayze moved into a single leg crab. Durning mustered up the strength to push Perswayze off of him and into the ropes. As he came back, Durning caught him and rolled him up into a pin for a count of two. Perswayze wasted no time before clipping Durning's knee and ending any comeback Durning was making.
As a way of rubbing a little salt in the wound, Perswayze did some pushups for the fans. Perswayze takes a moment to go to his own corner and drink one of his delicious shakes. Before he gets to polish off the delightful drink, Durning barrels into the corner and nails him with the high knee.
Durning tries to apply his patented babykiller piledriver, but it's countered as Perswayze rolls Durning into a crossface of sorts. And out of nowhere, Durning rolls him over, hold his shoulders to the mat in a pin, and it's over. A hard fought match that ended in the blink of an eye. Perswayze looks like he knows he may have let that one get away from him.
And Rasool hits the ring and attacks Durning. Not only does he nearly take his head off with a shot to the temple with the belt, he stands him up and delivers the Al Queda Plunge before taunting Durning and the fans in a total act of defiance.

Search for Homes
Windermere Real Estate/BI, Inc.
Between the two connected neighborhoods of Commodore and Commodore West, there are about 130 homes. The neighborhoods are connected by a foot path and the distinctive difference between the two are the age of the homes. Commodore (known to locals as Old Commodore) is just that, primarily homes built in the 70's and 80's and the homes line the West end of the high school. At the end of the 80's Chaffey, a prominent builder in the North West, started developing in some empty lots and then expanded the neighborhood and created Commodore West. Homes were built in the 90's-2007 in Commodore West, all but one by Chaffey. Two main roads, with no outlet, encompass the neighborhoods and cul-de sacs branch off the main roads, creating less traffic, which is good for small kids playing or riding bikes. Another appealing thing about Commodore is that it is adjacent to several schools. By foot, even on trails, kids can access Ordway and Odyssey, two of the elementary schools, Sakai (5th and 6th Grade), Woodward (7th and 8th grade), and the High School (9-12). This also means that soccer and baseball fields, the aquatic center, the library, and Safeway are walking distance too.Home sizes vary greatly and range from 1500-3500 square feet. Lots sizes are a big reason the Commodore neighborhoods are so popular. Most lot sizes are a third of an acre, putting a comfortable distance between you and your neighbors.
