text: Monday Raw Date: June 28, 2010 Location: Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Commentators: Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler Guest Host: Rob Zombie Well after last week's well highly watched show it makes me wonder what they're going to follow it up with. There's a host again tonight, but I'm not sure why they're going with Zombie as I'm not sure what he's going to do here. Oh and we get Vince fallout. Let's get to it. Speaking of Vince we open with the at least third reshowing of the beatdown from last week. As someone said in the LD last week, I can't imagine how nervous Gabriel was when he went up for that 450. And now to the arena where we all need to be somber. Barrett is at WWE Headquarters and is being yelled at for what he did. Here's Sheamus. He's disgusted by all of the times he's seen the beating on Vince. So he's been watching the TV shows. As champion he needs to make a statement. The statement is that THE CHAMP IS HERE! The best thing to come out of this is that Cena isn't the number one contender anymore because he used his rematch clause. This is cracking me up as he tells us all the things he won't have to put up with anymore. Cena won't get another shot so here he is. I smell an e-mail coming very soon. Cena points out that they came after him when he was world champion so their next target is likely Sheamus. Cena asks Sheamus for help in fighting Nexus. Oh this is interesting. Cena calls out Nexus and there's the e-mail. It gets great heat. Cole: Gentlemen, gentlemen, I BELIEVE I HAVE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL! That was the best overly dramatic announcement in years. Oh damn it he has a podium now. He'll take action next week and will listen to Barrett. If anyone in Nexus jumps anyone in WWE tonight, they're terminated. This is the longest e-mail ever. If anyone from WWE touches Nexus they're suspended. Cena suggests a title match and there's another e-mail MAYBE 4 seconds after he finishes talking. The GM says it's Sheamus vs. Henry tonight. Cena FREAKS and says his life is being ruined by the internet. He gives Cole his e-mail address which is something like candypants or something like that. This is hysterical. There's ANOTHER e-mail and we're told we get the 8 Raw MITB guys tonight. And now a cage is being lowered in a "sign of the GM's power". There's e-mail #4. At MITB, Sheamus vs. Cena in a cage. Where's the Kool-Aid Man for an OH YEAH??? Hart Dynasty vs. Tamina/Usos The non champions jump the Harts and beat the hell out of them on the floor and just leave them there. Ok no they don't as Tamina comes after Natalya. She hits a splash off the top and just leaves Natalya there. So I guess the match didn't happen? Josh is with R-Truth who is asked about the Nexus. Truth says they're acting like animals. It looks like he's reading off a script. He says he's a zookeeper and that's the TRUTH. Uh….sure. We recap the Dance Off from a few weeks ago. Ok then. Vladimir Kozlov vs. Santino Marella If Santino wins then he and Kozlov are tag champions. Santino can't do shit here and tries to have a striking contest. Kozlov hits the big slam after about a minute. This was what you expected it to be. Kozlov tries to pick him up and he just falls back down. Then he does that again. And this man main evented Survivor Series people. And for no apparent reason here's William Regal to beat the hell out of Santino. Kozlov makes the save. Josh is now with Khali and is asked about Nexus. His translator runs down Khali and says he's an idiot. And hey the Guest Host is here only 37 minutes into the show. Cole says he likes one of Zombie's theme songs. That's very amusing. He says he's here because he loves sick and twisted things which you often see in wrestling. He's going to announce the 8 participants. In it will be Orton, Miz, R-Truth, Jericho, Bourne, DiBiase, Morrison and Edge. Edge and Zombie know each other which is kind of cool. And here's Edge on the monitor to be a dick. Edge talks about how he won the first MITB and Zombie just leaves. Even Cole says "that's it?" We get clips of the first MITB match, including seeing Benoit. We then see him winning the belt at New Year's Revolution. After he talks, we get another e-mail. The main event will have all 8 guys as Edge, Miz, DiBiase and Jericho vs. Bourne, Morrison, Truth and Orton. That could be decent. Sheamus vs. Mark Henry The champ doesn't get an intro? What the hell? This is completely one sided with Henry even getting a splash for two. Then the Pump Kick ends it. Match MIGHT have been two minutes. The Nexus guys are talking kind of and Sheffield punches a crew member. Ok then. Lawler is in the ring to talk about Ricky Steamboat's DVD. Oh hell yes. Even I might buy that. Here he is in the flesh too. This is one of the best in ring technicians of all time and he deserves any and all credit he gets. There are some guys that want to say hi. ARN ANDERSON, MICHAEL HAYES, MIKE ROTUNDO AND DEAN MALENKO!!!!! Sweet damnation. Dean says he wants to go home and watch the DVD. He gets a nice jab in by saying most of the matches he wasn't even born for yet. Rotundo says to make sure to pay the taxes on it. Hayes says he came out here since he hasn't been on TV in a few years and wanted to dance. That was funny. And now, Arn Anderson. This guy needs to be on TV more, period. He says he's never been in the ring with anyone better. That might very well be true but if not it's a great compliment. Steamboat thanks the fans and it's Nexus time. The old guys IMMEDIATELY take off their jackets and roll up their sleeves. They beat the hell out of Slater to a huge pop, then Tarver, and then it all falls apart as they get Arn. Ok maybe they just get Arn. They got got Dean too. WWE security freaking sucks. It truly does. Tarver gets Rotundo as there's no commentary again which is a nice touch. It's Lawler, Hayes and Steamboat left and here they come. Steamboat gets the two smallest guys and Lawler is knocked to the floor. Slater is beating up Steamboat and Tarver punches Hayes. They gang up on Steamboat and Gabriel hits the 450. This was GREAT and they got booed out of the building for it. Back from break and the old guys are being carried out. The GM still isn't going to take action because these guys aren't superstars. Eve Torres/Gail Kim vs. Maryse/Alicia Fox Matthews is on commentary now. How many times can these four fight? This is of course freaking boring other than looking at the girls. Fox hits an axe kick on Gail for the pin. At least it's over. Next week we get the action taken against Nexus. Edge/Ted DiBiase/Miz/Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton/Evan Bourne/John Morrison/R-Truth The ladder is in the ring with a briefcase hanging over it. Edge is out first and climbs up to look all dramatic and stuff. The entrances of course take forever. Morrison pulls out a ladder during the intros and Orton gets a DAMN great pop. I think Bourne's was bigger though. Morrison and DiBiase start. Don't expect anything close to me saying who is in and out as it'll be far too much to say. The match is a total mess of course as it's just random fights that have no particular rhyme or reason. It even gets a mid-match commercial so you know it's a big match. Morrison is the face in peril for a little bit until we get more of Bourne vs. Jericho. Air Bourne misses and Jericho hits a one kneed Codebreaker. In one of the weakest endings I can ever remember, DiBiase and Orton both get hot tags, DiBiase comes at him and the RKO ends it. That was all Orton was in the match for. Post match it's a big clusterfuck involving the ladder. Miz almost gets up the ladder at the end but Orton shoves him off and gets the case to end the show. Results Vladimir Kozlov b. Santino Marella – Mat Slam Sheamus b. Mark Henry – Pump Kick Alicia Fox/Maryse b. Eve Torres/Gail Kim – Axe kick to Kim R-Truth/Randy Orton/Evan Bourne/John Morrsion b. Ted DiBiase/Chris Jericho/Edge/Miz – RKO to DiBiase Tuesday Raw got a 3.3 which is down from the previous week or two. In FAR more important news though the angle about Drew being deported wasn't an angle. His work Visa has really expired and he's trying to get a new one set up to work. In even BIGGER news though, the same is true for Wade Barrett. He's in England trying to get a new one sorted out. First thing that came to my mind was simple: how did no one get this beforehand? NXT Date: June 29, 2010 Location: Mohegan Sun Arena, Wilkes-Berry, Pennsylvania Commentators: Michael Cole, Josh Matthews The first poll is released tonight. That's all that matters here. It's 50/50 with the pros and the fans having an equal share. The host or whatever botches her opening line and then introduces the rookies. Alex Riley – The Miz Husky Harris – Cody Rhodes Titus O'Neil – Zach Ryder Kaval – Laycool Eli Cottonwood – John Morrison Percy Watson – MVP Lucky Cannon – Mark Henry Michael McGillicutty – Kofi Kingston Not only do we get a poll but whoever is last is GONE. Hokey smoke. Cole and Matthews blast Ashley for no apparent reason. We have a challenge tonight and it's the keg carry from last season. The winner gets immunity. Joe Hennig (McGillicutty but it's easier to type his real name) goes first but drops the keg like a second into it and he's done. Cannon is a bit better as it looks like they're going in reverse order. He gets a time of 12.7 seconds (12.7 seconds for those of you that use the metric system). Watson smiles the whole way through this. He has the charisma to put it mildly. He gets 13 flat even though it looks like he beat it. Cottonwood is fourth and he'll wind up messing it up because he's too damn big. He's really just walking fast. 13.3. Can Kaval even pick the damn thing up? Instead he takes the mic and says it weighs as much as he does and says he isn't risking his body unless it's in the ring. I like that. O'Neil trips over his own feet and is done before the first turn. There's a guy in the front row with his back to it and he turns around to see Titus on the ground. Titus says this is what happens when you try to drink and drive which is I think cool but I'm not sure. Good message if nothing else. Harris drops the keg on his foot after about 5 seconds. I guess he isn't that good at…..dashing? He gives Striker a small shove afterwards. Riley gets close but loses too. Damn it Lucky Cannon is still around. The worst of the 8 is still here. We get a profile on Watson which is him far more toned down which helps him a lot. He used to play for the Giants. MVP vs. Husky Harris Harris is 0-1. They go really slowly to start. Harris apparently is mad at Rhodes for embarrassing him on Friday. Crowd isn't that thrilled here. Mark Henry is on assignment apparently. Damn Harris is boring as hell. This is just a slow and boring match with NOTHING of interest going on in it. Harris misses his back splash as the crowd is DEAD. When Ballin is barely able to get a pop you can tell the match sucks. MVP hits a Downward Spiral and Harris is 0-2. Damn I hate that move too. PLEASE vote Harris off. Harris won't shake his hand. We recap the Keg Carry and it's time for a 6 man. Joe Hennig/Lucky Cannon/Kaval vs. Eli Cottonwood/Alex Riley/Titus O'Neil Joe and Eli start which sounds like a bad comedy team. No match for Watson tonight? Miz is apparently like Doc Rivers on NXT. Cole, I hate you. I truly do. Riley has a medical background and speaks Spanish. This is like some weird beauty pageant or something. Kaval gets something resembling a hot tag and kicks a lot. Yeah I'm shocked too. O'Neil and Cottonwood double team Kaval. That's just awesome. Hennig takes care of every opponent not named O'Neil. Kaval hits the Warrior's Way on Riley. That's going to be botched to hell and back one day and he's going to nearly kill someone. We see the legends beatdown from last night and thankfully they clip it down. There's no need to show the whole segment 24 hours after it happened like they've been doing. Steamboat has cracked ribs and a bad neck. Matthews says Raw is under siege and they're pretty much right. It's poll time! 1. Kaval (WTF???) 2. Percy Watson 3. Michael McGillicutty 4. Alex Riley 5. Lucky Cannon (bullshit!) 6. Eli Cottonwood 7. Husky Harris 8. Titus O'Neil Ok, the WWE fans are IDIOTS. He cuts a solid promo and then leaves. Be careful not to slip on the grease pile that Harris left behind. Results MVP b. Husky Harris – 305 Kaval/Michael McGillicutty/Lucky Cannon b. Eli Cottonwood/Alex Riley/Titus O'Neil – Warrior's Way to Riley Titus O'Neil was eliminated in 8th place Punk is hurt and will be out 6-8 weeks. Damn it. Wednesday NXT got a .93. Thursday Ricky Steamboat is legit in a hospital with an aneurysm. Apparently he's not in terrible shape though which is a very good thing. Allegedly the Visa issues with McIntyre and Barrett are allegedly cleared up so they could be back next week. Impact Date: July 1, 2010 Location: Impact Zone, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Mike Tenay, Tazz Episode Title: The Voices in My Head We get a recap of Hogan vs. Abyss which is mainly about THEY are coming. We open in the arena with Abyss going crazy and throwing chairs into the ring. Hogan comes out and we're told he needs back surgery. Bicshoff comes out before anything happens and Hogan tells him to step aside. TWO security guards come in to stop things. BISCHOFF SLAPS ABYSS. Hogan pops him with a chair which does nothing and Hardy comes out for the save. A Twist of Fate puts Abyss down but a Hogan chair shot doesn't? He adds a Swanton for the hell of it. AJ vs. Joe later. That should work. Abyss comes up to the announce table and points at Taz, doing the YOU thing. It's really going to be the ECW thing isn't it? Abyss vs. Hardy tonight. Ink Inc vs. Motor City Machine Guns First match for the #1 contenders in….4 weeks? Shelley and Shannon to start which makes me think this is a Divas match for a second. This is a decently fast paced match which tells me we're going to be done with Ink Inc soon. D-Von comes down to keep an eye on this and does commentary, saying he's making sure Bubba doesn't screw this up. Neal hits Shelley with a spear for two and here's Bubba just like the obvious would suggest. Neal gets distracted, setting up a SWEET double team move as Shelley hits Sliced Bread #2 while Sabin hits a sitout powerbomb on Neal for the pin. Pope is back tonight. Bischoff makes Abyss vs. Hardy for the main event. Dixie is just getting here. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GET TO A TV SHOW ON TIME? AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe Ok, these two are usually AWESOME. Let's see if they can manage to mess this up. Flair and Kaz come out behind AJ. That chant Joe gets every time has to be intimidating. Joe allegedly has the home field advantage….in the house that AJ built. Got it. AJ slams Joe and looks for approval from Flair. Eh that's fine I guess. There is no one in Fourtune yet. This is a decent back and forth match but I wish they could have it be more like their old ones without AJ constantly looking for approval. AJ goes for the figure four and gets caught in the clutch for the tap out. Post match AJ gets yelled at AGAIN by Flair. Kaz gets all smirky and I wonder what the point in making AJ into this is. AJ gets a mic and calls out Kaz for a match next week and it's on. Dixie is with Hogan and Bischoff and in one of the funniest segments ever, Hogan calls Sting cancer, says Sting can't handle success and says that Sting wants to destroy everything that's successful and always has. I almost had to pause the show to clear the tears from my eyes from laughing so hard. Oh and Nash had a cameo. Brian Kendrick vs. Desmond Wolfe This is a submission match and Williams is on commentary. Wolfe dominates early so you know that Wolfe is jobbing here again. Williams vs. Jeremy Buck next week in a ladder match. Uh….WHY? He's having an Ultimate X match at the PPV so shouldn't he be doing that instead? Chelsea walks off and Kendrick gets the cobra clutch on Wolfe for the eventual tap. Yep that was predictable and pay no attention to the hold looking HORRIBLE. Tommy Dreamer won't comment on attending Impact. Pope gets a video package. And here he is. The fans chant hallelujah. He starts crying and says he's glad to be back and thanks everyone. He says he wants Anderson and he'll get back to him later. He wants the title back and talks for awhile. And cue Angle. He gets far more cheers and takes the entire segment which is expected I guess. Pope is the future of TNA apparently. The match is made for Victory Road, which makes me wonder who isn't allowed to make matches. We recap Flair vs. Lethal and continue to see how irritating Flair is now. Jay Lethal vs. Matt Morgan Lethal calls out Flair and AJ but gets his opponent instead. Morgan has been asked to join Fourtune apparently. Morgan jumps him and goes for the elbows in the corner, most of which miss but whatever. After Morgan kind of dominates, Hernandez comes out and causes the distraction so that a missile dropkick can end Morgan. Abyss makes a 2x4 with nails in it. Madison Rayne vs. Taylor Wilde WOW the champions is actually wrestling! I don't believe it. This is of course not very good. It's nice to see some fresh blood in there though so I'll give them that. We lay around a lot as the ECW guys, this time plus Rhyno, show up to completely take away the spotlight from the match at hand as everyone cheers for ECW. In a funny line Taz points out that none of these guys liked him in ECW anyway. Rayne hits that knee to the back of the head on Wilde to win it. Love comes out and beats her up with a chair. Sarita beats the crap out of Wilde for no apparent reason other than a heel turn. She looks good in black too. We run down the Victory Road card to waste some time. Dixie finds Sting and he asks if she gets it now. She blames Sting for everything and she suspends him for 30 days without pay. Sting says she's been conned but won't explain. Dixie isn't listening apparently. He's about to explain and here's Bischoff with security to get rid of Sting. He says let's just make it indefinite instead of 30 days. Abyss vs. Jeff Hardy Van Dam is referee here. We get rid of the 2x4 board almost immediately. The ECW guys are gone too. Abyss takes over and that lasts only a bit as Abyss loses focus. This is fairly back and forth and is getting some time. Jeff "hits" a "Twist of Fate" but doesn't get the Swanton. And then the Swanton does hit and gets the completely clean pin. Oh sure…why not. Anderson comes in for the save with a chair but accidently hits Hardy and takes Shock Treatment to end the show with Abyss standing tall. Results Motor City Machine Guns b. Ink Inc – Sliced Bread #2/Sitout Powerbomb combination on Neal Samoa Joe b. AJ Styles – Coquina Clutch Brian Kendrick b. Desmond Wolfe – Cobra Clutch Jay Lethal b. Matt Morgan – Missile Dropkick Madison Rayne b. Taylor Wilde – Knee to the back of the head Jeff Hardy b. Abyss – Swanton Bomb Friday Alex Riley got cut open badly at an FCW show. No word on how serious this is or if he'll be out of action yet. Smackdown Date: July 2, 2010 Location: Mohegan Sun Arena, Wilkes-Berry, Pennsylvania Commentators: Matt Striker, Todd Grisham Odds are tonight we find out the MITB contestants. Also tonight we get more on the Kane vs. Punk thing. That has potential, but at the same time I can't imagine the SES are the ones behind all this. I really hope it doesn't wind up being Kane. That would just flat out suck, but whatever. Let's get to it. We open with a recap of Kane vs. Punk from last week. This was likely just a way to get Punk off TV for awhile since his arm is hurt. At least we got a real reason. Grisham saying the SES has ceased to exist is a scary line. Theme song. Awesome. Drew is still in the video, which means it's likely he'll be back soon. Kane vs. Gallows tonight. Swagger is here. Striker calls the title the World Championship instead of World Heavyweight Championship. Rey can alter history now. That's either awesome or bad. He talks about how awesome he is and we see the ankle lock from last week where he hurt Show's leg/ankle/knee somehow all at once. He talks about how MITB is coming and how that's where his journey started. He's sad that he lost the belt and I'm not sure if this is supposed to be intense or sad. Here's Show anyway so it doesn't really matter. He's still selling the knee which is a plus. Show really can talk pretty well when it comes to comedy. He calls him Jackie Boy which sounds like some bad indy movie. This segment is kind of dragging but it's not bad. It might help a bit if we actually you know, saw the champion? Show talks about fantasy and reality. In Swagger's fantasy he can break Show's ankle, but in reality Show will break Swagger's jaw. Show comes towards the ring but Cody Rhodes chop blocks him. Both guys work on the ankle and the leg to hurt him as Show is continuously called the Giant. He fights back and Rey makes the save. Hey the champion is on TV! I don't believe it either! I smell a tag match. We get some MITB guys: Kane, Cody Rhodes, Matt Hardy, Christian, Kofi Kingston and Big Show. They only say six names and that there will be two more named. I was right about that tag match. Show/Rey vs. Swagger/Rhodes. Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler Kofi comes out first and then Ziggler comes down the hall. Vickie stops him and makes sure that he doesn't look at Rosa doing jumping jacks. Ziggler could be ok but I see Vickie as a step down for him. She's far more annoying than anything else and makes Ziggler seem hard to take seriously. Nothing of note happens and we take a break because this much lack of anything is tiring let me tell you. The blonde guy is in control when we come back which isn't that surprising. A top rope crossbody by Kofi gets two. The man can jump if nothing else. Here let me run two laps around Dolph, touch his chest, shout three times and then jump into the air. I'm sure Dolph won't have a clue what's coming. Fameasser gets two for Dolph. What is with so many people using that lately? Ziggler looks at Vickie and walks into Trouble in Paradise to end it. We go to the SES in the back and Serena tells Punk (with his arm in a sling) that they should give up and tell Kane the truth. Punk and Gallows say no. Serena says she felt helpless when Punk was taken to the operating room for his ten hour arm surgery. She says if they don't take care of Kane then she will. Ok then. Peep Show The guest is Matt Hardy and there are about 5 or 6 ladders in the ring with them as you would expect. Christian asks about McIntyre and says it was nice to see them in the ring together last week and not see Matt get dropped on his head for a change. Matt talks about how much his time in WWE has sucked but he keeps coming back. He says his WILL NOT DIE thing but Christian cuts him off and says Will Not Win MITB. Preach it brother. They talk about how great their careers have been and so on. According to Matt, the ECW Title was NOT a real world title. They both climb the ladder and go for the case which they would have had to be standing on top of the ladder to get and have had to move the ladder back about three feet to reach but whatever. They say at the same time that it's going to be them that wins at MITB. This was a different kind of interview segment but it worked. Christian starts to leave but comes back and Matt pops him. The Canadian is thrown into a ladder and Matt leaves to his music. That's good as he needs the momentum more than Christian does. Alberto Del Rio is still coming to Smackdown. I think this might be the same promo from last week, but I really don't care enough to think back that far. This guy is going to be pretty bad in my eyes, but I guess he could be decent. He talks about honesty again and this goes nowhere. Cody Rhoes is in front of a mirror making sure he looks perfect. He interviews himself in a funny moment. I keep wanting Dusty to pop up behind him and shout BOY ARE YOU CRAZY? Kane vs. Luke Gallows Punk is with Gallows. Kane of course dominates early as we're somehow halfway done with this show. That doesn't seem possible. The masked man runs in maybe two minutes in for the DQ. He goes down and Kane goes after Punk. Serena bounces down to ringside and says she has proof that Punk didn't do it. Serena says that Punk was saving her on Memorial Day which was when Taker was hurt. A video is played with the date on it of Serena walking into a bar. She hesitates for a LONG time and has a drink. Then she has a second and guy buys her more. The crowd reacts to her doing shots. And then Punk walks in with Gallows and the masked man, obviously pissed off. There's no sound here which is a very nice touch like it has been on Raw. Kane shoves Punk off and leaves. Serena apologizes to Punk but he's too pissed off to accept it. He asks if she knows what she just did and leaves her there. MVP vs. Chavo Guerrero We see MVP and Kofi signing autographs at a Toys R Us where the new WWE action figures are being released. See, THIS is what Chavo should be doing. It's better than JTG at least. Chavo says he'll prove to Vickie how it's done unlike what Drew failed at. He wants an IC Title shot too. At least there are guys talking about wanting the title. That's a big step in the right direction at least. Chavo hits the Three Amigos on MVP and the Frog Splash misses, most likely because he rolled through it. Less than thirty seconds later MVP hits the 305 to end it. This was nothing for the most part and just kind of came and went. This week in WWE history: this time it's Luger doing the bodyslam on Yoko on the USS Intrepid. That was indeed awesome. We do have to hear that incredibly obnoxious I'll Be Your Hero song. Alfred Hayes gets a cameo and we see Luger win by count out at Summerslam in one of the strangest moments in WWF history. Kelly Kelly vs. Michelle McCool Does Tiffany actually serve any kind of purpose? Grisham says both of them are knockouts. That's kind of a funny line for some reason. I could watch Laycool's entrance all day. Michelle stalls a lot before we actually get going as the heels spray air freshener. Tiffany gets jumped and might have hurt her shoulder. Tiffany gets up long enough to distract Michelle and Kelly rolls her up for the pin. This again was too short to mean anything. I guess that might be the point though. We see the legends beatdown on Raw. Rey addresses us next. Alberto Del Rio talks about accomplishing the impossible or something. And something about inspiration. Get this guy off my TV. Rey gets the full on huge introduction and shows off the belt and all that jazz. This would have been a lot better, oh I don't know, LAST WEEK? He says nothing at all of note other than Swagger won't beat him. This of course gets like 4 minutes. Jack Swagger/Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio/Big Show The Dashing name works well as while it sounds like an indy name, he's talented enough to make it work I think. Rey and Rhodes start us off which is an interesting pairing. Striker points out that it sucks that there are 7 months between Twilight movies and 11 years between Toy Story sequels. He's absolutely right. Show throws Cody over the top onto Swagger and we take a break. Back and it's the starters in there again. Rey hits a seated senton for two. Swagger kicks his head off and goes higher up on my list of favorites because of it. Again with the big boots! Striker points out why Cody is dashing. Ok then. Cody hits more or less the Morrison spinkick off the ropes as Striker says he needs a name for that. He suggests the Dashiell Hammett but realizes no one will get that (guy that wrote Maltese Falcon). Show comes in off the hot tag and cleans house but his leg gives out. Rey drops the dime on Swagger for two. 619 is countered into the ankle lock but Rey is in the rope. Same thing as last week as he won't let go for the DQ. Rey taps of course, thereby making him look weak again. Is there something against Smackdown champions? The heels leave as the faces' ankles hurt to end the show. Results Kofi Kingston b. Dolph Ziggler – Trouble in Paradise Kane b. Luke Gallows via DQ when the masked man ran in MVP b. Chavo Guerrero – 305 Kelly Kelly b. Michelle McCool – Rollup Rey Mysterio/Big Show b.

London-born climber killed in avalanche
Tributes have been pouring in for a British climber killed in an avalanche in the French Alps yesterday.
Roger Payne, who's originally from Hammersmith, was killed alongside eight other people (including two Britons) as they climbed in the Mont Blanc range near Chamonix. They had been traversing Mont Maudit, which translates as "Cursed Mountain", when they were hit by a massive wall of snow. The two other Britons have been named as John Taylor and Steve Barber from York.
A mountain guide and former general secretary of the British Mountaineering Council, Mr Payne was an avalanche instructor who was well known in the world of climbing.
Dave Turnbull, the current chief executive of the BMC, said the mountaineering world was "shocked and saddened" by his tragic death.
"Roger was one of the UK's most enthusiastic and respected climbers, with a track record of Alpine and Himalayan mountaineering stretching back to the 1980s," he added.
Kenton Cool, a leading Alpine climber who knew Mr Payne, described him as "one of the very best mountain guides" and said he was "stunned into a silence" after hearing the news.
He told the BBC: "Roger was a very cautious, incredibly experienced guide. This is going to send shockwaves through certainly the British guiding fraternity and the French one - a very close-knit French community in Chamonix."
The climbers had been part of a 28-strong group attempting the route to the top of Mont Blanc.
At around 5.20am, French authorities received reports that a "slab" avalanche had hit several groups of mountaineers who were roped together on the northern face of Mont Maudit.
A block of ice 16in (40cm) thick broke off and slid down the slope, creating a mass of snow that was 6ft (2m) deep and 328ft (100m) long.
Regional authorities believe it may have been triggered by a climber accidentally snapping off a slab of ice on the mountain.

Miners undermine metals prices
Mining stocks dragged the FTSE 100 lower, offsetting early gains from a flurry of merger and acquisition rumours. The blue-chip index closed down 14.2 points at 6194.2 but the FTSE 250 managed to maintain early momentum, closing up 59.2 at 10712.
Miners were hit by weak metals prices, with copper falling to a near five-month low on technical selling. Vedanta Resources shed 66p to close at £13.67 ahead of its results on Thursday. Traders punished the stock after news that a majority-owned copper mine in Zambia has been forced to suspend production. Antofagasta lost 26½ to 468¼p while Kazakhmys fell 60p to £11.40.
The oil giants also suffered as the oil price slipped to around $59 a barrel. BP retreated 8 to 590p, while Royal Dutch Shell was down 19p at £19.14. Bid targets dominated the leader board. Resolution jumped 32½p to 667½p after it confirmed press speculation that it was in takeover talks.
The life insurer is believed to have held discussions with several of its peers over the past two months including Standard Life and Prudential. One analyst said the more likely deal was with the Pru, pushing the stock up 13½ to 651½p. Prudential shares were helped by hopes of a capital return to policyholders. Standard Life edged up 1 to 287½p.
Analysts at KBW, however, tipped Friends Provident as the most likely bidder, saying it would be open-minded about selling its back-book in exchange for a controlling stake in the company. Friends improved 2¾ to 214¼p.
Bid talk also boosted ITV, which rose 3¼ to 114¼p, after weekend reports that NTL would press ahead with its £5bn approach for the broadcaster.
Continuing the M&A theme, Scottish Power gained 2½ to 743½p after reports that Iberdrola, the Spanish energy company, could pounce as early as today.
Elsewhere, the pharmaceutical sector rallied after weakness last week. Shire Pharma regained all of Friday's losses to close up 32½ at 996½p. Traders said Friday's reaction to a Federal Trade Commission report into Shire's settlement with rival Barr Pharmaceuticals over a long-running patent battle had been "over the top".
AstraZeneca rose 56p to £30.66 and GlaxoSmithKline ticked up 6p to £13.66.
On the retail side, electricals group DSG International improved 5¾ to 220¼p as traders anticipated a strong pre-close statement next week. Flat-screen TV sales are still booming and analysts are expecting a good Christmas.
Alliance Boots gained 6 to 819p ahead of its first-half results today.
In the FTSE 250, bid rumours around Amec finally came to fruition, pushing the stock up 15¼ to 415p.
Private equity groups First Reserve Corporation and Texas Pacific Group confirmed they had approached the construction group with a potential offer but had been denied access to due diligence.
Berkeley Group improved 108p to close at £17.02. Traders said the housebuilder benefited after rival Crest Nicholson rejected an offer, highlighting value in the sector. Crest Nicholson slipped 2 to 615p.
Cambrian Mining bucked the mining sector trend, gaining 7¾ to 133¾p, after it sold its stake in iron ore producer Mount Gibson.
On the FTSE 250 loser board, Northern Foods fell 3¾ to 86p. The pizza-to-biscuits group is today expected to report a 40pc fall in first-half pre-exceptional profit. Premier Foods shed 9 to 270½p after it was downgraded to "sell" by Goldman Sachs.
Smaller oil groups mirrored losses in the blue-chip index. Burren Energy lost 30½ to 901p and Dana Petroleum closed down 44p at £13.13.
Jardine Lloyd Thomson fell 13 to 400p after Merrill Lynch downgraded the insurance broker to "sell". The analysts are concerned the share price, which has risen by 8pc in the past six months, does not reflect the difficult climate for insurance brokers.
Among the small-caps, software company Torex Retail edged up 3¼ to 50½p despite a slightly disappointing trading update, after the new chief executive invested £200,000 of his own money in company shares leading a round of director share buying. Over 24m of the shares traded hands compared with a daily average of around 5m.
DA Group jumped 7½ at 46p after it said it would provide text updates and an interactive service for TV show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
Tadpole Technology, a computer infrastructure company, lost almost half its value after the its contract with Ordnance Survey was suspended. The company said it was "urgently considering the options available" as its shares dropped 1.12 to 1¼p.

The housing office has no sympathy towards helping students have a happy experience here. I have had multiple issues with roommates and they do nothing to resolve them. They are very hypocritical in the sense of saying you are able to buy out the portion of your room if your roommate moves out and then throw a new roommate into your room, and not allowing you to have the option to buy it out. Everyone deserves to feel happy and safe in their new home, but here in Duluth I have had nothing but an awful experience.Read More

Welcome to the Division of General Internal Medicine. Under the leadership of Dr. Monika Safford, our Division unifies the outpatient and inpatient internal medicine programs, previously known as Weill Cornell Internal Medicine Associates (WCIMA) and Hospital Medicine, bringing together more than 300 employed and voluntary faculty.
The tripartite mission of our Division is to:
- Provide compassionate, comprehensive, coordinated and state of the art patient-centered care to every patient through evidence-based practice
- Educate the next generation of internal medicine physicians
- Optimize the overall health and well-being of patients and communities via collaborative research
Our multidisciplinary faculty is deeply committed to excellence and advancement in patient care via our hospital medicine and ambulatory care programs, resident and medical student education, and cutting edge research.
Our patient-centered research program focuses on optimizing the health and functioning of people living with chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity; cardiovascular disease prevention; health disparities and the care of vulnerable populations, both in the US and abroad; and clinical epidemiology with a focus on informing population health management.
The research program is funded by the NIH and the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, and includes the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke ancillary study focusing on coronary heart disease endpoints and psychosocial determinants of health. This national cohort study of over 30,000 black and white community-dwelling Americans has served as the platform for numerous studies elucidating subpopulations at risk for cardiovascular disease outcomes. It was also the first study to describe racial differences in urinary protein as a risk factor for stroke and heart attack; atrial fibrillation as a risk factor for heart attack; continued racial disparities in the risks of heart attack and especially death at presentation with heart disease; the harms of the Southern diet; and risks conferred by depressive symptoms and stress, among many others. The division's research also includes several community-based trials that test interventions intended to improve health outcomes in disadvantaged populations.
Adult Internal Medicine
Under the leadership of Dr. Judy Tung, the Adult Internal Medicine program, previously known as Weill Cornell Internal Medicine Associates (WCIMA), includes more than 50 exceptional academic full time members that provide high quality and comprehensive primary care for a diverse group of adult patients representing a cross section of the ethnic, cultural, and economic diversity that is New York City. This program, established as the Division of Ambulatory Medicine in 1968, has a long and distinguished history. During recent years, our ambulatory practices have expanded to various locations in the New York City area, including the Upper East Side, Lower Manhattan, and Long Island City, Queens.
Ambulatory services provided to our patients include preventive health care, treatment of acute and chronic illness, and the coordination of care for those with medical complexity. Patients at our ambulatory practices are cared for by a team of providers comprised of faculty attendings, nurse practitioners, and resident physicians in order to maximize expertise in various aspects of health care.
Patients are seen by a cadre of outstanding health care providers regardless of their insurance plan type. We serve as the primary site for general medicine ambulatory education for the Internal Medicine Residency training program.
Hospital Medicine
Under the leadership of Dr. Arthur Evans, the inpatient program has grown rapidly since its inception as the Division of Hospital Medicine in 2009. Today, this program includes over 60 exceptional faculty members from around the country. All faculty are board certified in internal medicine and many have additional training and subspecialty expertise, including infectious disease, emergency medicine, nephrology, critical care, medical informatics, pain management, quality improvement, and clinical research. On any given day our faculty provides care for over 200 inpatients at both the East and Lower Manhattan NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell campuses. Our physicians are responsible for the General Medicine Housestaff Service, the Medicine Consult Service, the Medicine-Orthopedics Trauma Service, and they oversee the Medicine-Physician Assistants Service.
Integrative Health and Wellbeing
Under the leadership of Drs. Alka Gupta and Chiti Parikh, the Integrative Health and Wellbeing program, launched in the spring of 2016, provides patient care centered on prevention, lifestyle medicine, and wellness. It also includes an emphasis on chronic disease and symptom management.
We currently offer integrative medicine physician consultations for all patients, and are rapidly expanding our team to offer additional therapeutic services such as nutrition consultation, yoga, meditation, and mindfulness instruction, acupuncture, psychiatric care, and massage therapy. We work with our patients to determine their individual goals. Care is delivered under the oversight of physicians who are certified in internal medicine and integrative medicine.

Sunday Roast Chicken with Vegetables
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: My mother always made a great roast chicken when I was growing up. Julia Child said, "if you can roast a chicken well you can cook anything." I have been roasting chickens for years now, experimenting and each time is slightly different but using my moms approach to start, I always put 1/2 a lemon and 1/2 an onion in the cavity and go from there. Roasting a chicken is fairly straight forward and always makes a delicious and impressive meal. I suggest you serve with a full white wine such as a chardonnay, or if you prefer red a light pinot noir. —chez lady S
Serves: 4
3-4 pound young preferably organic or kosher chicken
small to medium onions
medium red potatos
fennel bulb (or 2 teaspoons of fennel seeds)
large carrots
garlic cloves
bunch of fresh thyme
freshly ground black pepper
kosher salt
olive oil
1-2 tablespoons of butter
about a quarter cup of dry vermouth
water, white wine or no salt chicken stock
tablespoon flour
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Rinse and dry chicken and rub outside and inside cavity with the salt and pepper.
- Cut lemon in half and onion in half and put these in the cavity.
- Put a small handful of fresh thyme and 2 smashed garlic cloves in cavity. Tie legs with kitchen string.
- Cut the potatoes in half, the onion and fennel in quarters, the carrots in 2 inch pieces and toss in olive oil salt and pepper, and some thyme. If using fennel seeds toss with vegetables instead of bulb.
- Put the tossed vegetables in the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
- Place pan in the 425 degree oven and roast for 1 1/2 hours or until legs are loose and the bird is golden brown. Check the roast every 20 minutes or so to baste the chicken and toss the vegetables around so they don't burn.
- Remove chicken from the pan to rest. Remove vegetables from pan and put in a separate serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
- place roasting pan on stove top over a medium heat. Add vermouth, butter, flour, some water or no salt chicken broth or white wine, a few twigs of fresh thyme and make a roux.
- Strain gravy.
- Plate chicken, with vegetable and the gravy.

BRIDGEWATER – The Somerset Patriots baseball team along with New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS), a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC), are calling upon the community to donate blood in recognition of the firefighters who keep us safe in our communities.
During Firefighter Appreciation Night on Saturday, August 28 at TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater, the Somerset Patriots will sponsor a blood drive from 2:00pm-7:00pm to thank area firefighters and community volunteers. A busmobile will be parked in the lot to the left of the front of the stadium and fans can donate before the 7:05pm start of the game. Donate blood and honor area firefighters who respond to the call of duty and give of themselves every day to help others. A single blood donation, which can be given every 56 days, can help save as many as three lives.
In particular, there is an on-going need for donors with O-negative blood, who are known as "universal donors" because their blood can be transfused into anyone. Type O-negative blood is found in just 6 percent of the population, but is used more often by patients with other blood types, especially in emergency rooms and trauma situations. It is also used in exchange transfusions for newborn babies and pregnant women, and for premature babies in intensive care units.
Every two seconds, someone needs blood, and one out of three people will need a lifesaving blood transfusion in his or her lifetime. New York Blood Center requires between 1,600 and 1,800 blood donations each day to meet the needs of regional hospitals.
NJBS thanks every individual blood donor and the wide variety of organizations that sponsor blood drives throughout the year, but especially during summer months when blood supplies are critically low in area hospitals.
Eligible donors should be 17 years of age, or 16 years with parental consent. Persons 76 years of age may donate with a note from their doctors stating they are in good health.
To make an appointment to donate blood, or persons with questions of medical eligibility: call 1-800-933-BLOOD (2566)

Suspended Coffee Society
It's a really simple concept… purchase a coffee for someone who can't afford one!
This pay it forward custom originated in Naples, and has slowly been spreading around the world, but after the story was posted on facebook, people became inspired by this inexpensive way to make a difference, and more and more
people started facebook pages supporting the movement.
Declan and Jett jumped on board to create
Suspended Coffee Society Melbourne, and as they also believe that kindness should be paid forward, welcomed Ripple's support in supplying kindness cards to each participating cafe.
When someone redeems a coffee, they'll be given a kindness card to remind them that someone cared enough to pay for their drink, and that person's kindness should be paid forward.
It's a system that relies on people's honesty so that those
who really need the help are able to enjoy a free coffee.
"We enter a little coffee house with a friend of mine and give our order.
While we're approaching our table, two people come in and they go to the counter.
'Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended.'
They pay for their order, take the two and leave.
I ask my friend: 'What are those 'suspended' coffees?' 'Wait for it and you will see.'
Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go.
The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers
– three for them and four 'suspended'. While I still wonder what's the deal
with those 'suspended' coffees, I enjoy the sunny weather and the
beautiful view towards the square in front of the café.
Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes
in through the door and kindly asks, 'Do you have a suspended coffee?'
It's simple – people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm beverage.
The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all
over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee,
but also a sandwich or a whole meal."

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
Asian cosmetics just get me. I mean, 95% of it is probably because I'm Asian and they know their target demographic very, very well. The other part I can attribute to growing up in North America, where foundation shopping was always hit or miss.
I'd always be recommended a healthy tan shade five times too orange for my skin because I wasn't white. The lightest shades, though closer, were sometimes still kind of off. But with the advent of Korean BB cream, these days, I'd be hard pressed to find one that didn't work with my skin tone.
So when I saw THEFACESHOP, a South Korean cosmetics store, open up a new shopfront at the Eaton Centre in Toronto, I may have done a little inward happy dance before poring over their adorable offerings of makeup and skincare.
I picked up a few things, which I'll mention later, but this piece is about the gem of a product I've been swooning over lately: I Make You Brighter highlighter No. 2 in Gold Glow.
Now, it could be because I'm a sucker for names, or because it only cost$7, but this little powder is the best.
I'd say it leans towards the white-gold side of gold, and all you need is a tiny little bit to brighten up the face in the most subtle of ways.
I know, I know. I'm not smiling in the Before shot, but don't you know that's how ALL beauty "befores" work?
The difference is subtle, but subtlety is key when it comes to highlighters. I still remain faithful to to Lancome Éclat Miracle, but for an easy, affordable powder substitute, this is a winner.
Have you guys tried anything from THEFACESHOP yet? What are your favourite products?

This is an actual picture provided by Steven Fruitsmaak. In it shows a real person who has GERD. As you can see the acid moving all throughout the throat which also looks swollen from the acid reflux. Keep reading this post to learn more about GERD and how to provide yourself with treatment options. Heartburn could be so much more, so if you feel as though you have heartburn a lot maybe you have GERD and we are going to explain the difference between heartburn and GERD.
What Is GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
In the video above you will learn what is GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and what problems it causes. GERD gets regularly wrote of as Heartburn by many people who actually may have GERD. It is important to learn, if you just have heartburn or something else such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Do I Have Heartburn Or GERD
Is it heartburn or GERD learn the symptoms of heartburn and the symptoms of GERD. You will learn that GERD is more sever and is more constant then heartburn and it will cause you to vomit or feel nauseated. If you think you have heartburn every day you should really get checked out to make sure you do not have Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, which can be very hard to treat, if you just keep writing it off as heartburn. These symptoms could also be signs of a heart attack as explained in the video.
How to treat GERD - Treament Options For GERD
If GERD is left untreated it can cause esophageal stricture and esophageal cancer.
GERD is treated by taking prescription strength Proton Pump Inhibitors Nexium and Protonix. These can help reduce your stomach acid by 95%, but are costly. You can also buy over the counter H 2 Blockers medication that isn't as strong as the above, but at least they will help. They are pepcid, zantac and axid. Another way to treat GERD is by surgery called fundoplication this is where they try to tighten up your esophagus sphincter that became weak and caused all this problem to start with. One more way doctors treat GERD is by conducting the stretta procedure, which is giving you radio frequency medication in low doses that will tighten the esophagus sphincter. The last treatment option for GERD mentioned in the video is the BARD endoscopic suturing system this is where they will stitch up your LES, which isn't tighten to much so that food can still pass though.
To be completely honest with you I have acid reflux or it could be GERD and that is why I was looking this up before I decided to write about it and give you the information. I have taken all of the over the counter medication before and they do work, but truth be told that Skinny Fiber works much better for me than any of the above mentioned. Now I can not say anything about the prescription strength medication because I have never tried any of those before, but if you have taken them please share your experiences in a comment below, so that we all know what works and what doesn't.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz guard Earl Watson underwent an MRI today on his left knee.
The backup point guard suffered a mild sprain midway through the fourth quarter of the Jazz's 90-87 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night at EnergySolutions Arena. He is officially listed as day-to-day
Watson did not return to the court after going to the bench with a slight limp.
The results of his magnetic resonance imaging test are not expected to be publicly released until Friday.
The Jazz took today off after playing five back-to-back sets in the past 16 days. Utah has remained relatively healthy early this season, though, with Al Jefferson being the only player to miss any action due to an injury (inflamed ankle).
Utah will practice again Friday in preparation for its reunion game Saturday, when the "East Coast Jazz" (a.k.a. the New Jersey Nets) visit EnergySolutions Arena. Five former Jazz players are on the Nets' roster, including Deron Williams, Mehmet Okur, Sundiata Gaines, Kris Humphries and DeShawn Stevenson.

Henry Cavill Hopes Justice League 'Won't Be Right Away'
Henry Cavill wants to fly alongside his fellow members of the Justice League — he just doesn't expect that to happen for quite a while.
In an interview with ABC's Peter Travers, the Man of Steel star opened up on the future of the DC Cinematic Universe. In his opinion, a Justice League movie is "going to be tough to achieve."
"Justice League could be great if done correctly," he said. "It's a very tough one to do because the DC comic heroes are all god-like in their power. So in this real-world setting we're telling out story in, it's going to be tough to achieve that and it has to be done very delicately with a lot of thought. So, it won't be right away, I hope it's not anyway."
See more of Cavill's thoughts on Superman and beyond in the video interview below.

There is no argument to say that schooling is not helping our society. It takes every person the fundamentals of life. Humans would be monkeys without school. The great geniuses of our generation learned basic math and science in primary school. How can someone argue that schooling does not help society? All of the "no" people are arguing that school is not efficient. I completely agree. I think our schooling system is outdated and needs drastic improvement, but nevertheless is is helping society. This is not an opinion, its fact.
Although school teaches people that when one has the capability to help others, they should always do so. Yet, although there has been increasing number of educated people, many of them abuses their power and do not take part in activities that contribute towards the society. For example, many of the politicians in corrupted country although are educated, they still continue to be corrupted. They only think about themselves and do not really care for the citizens in the country.This results in citizens from suffering. Therefore, it is not always true that education can help the society as there are many educated people out there abusing their own power and not taking care of the poor and the needed in the society. Only when people are caring and change their self centered attitude, then will education in school help to benefit the society.
Looking back at my schooling I can't say it helped me become the person I am today. In our system(Ontario,Canada) teachers are just awful and chase after paychecks nonstop. While in university I would often ask people in Drama or Political sciences "What if you don't make it as an actor" or "What if you don't get into law school" and I would always get the same answer. Teacher's college, which would lead to my follow up question, Have you ever worked with kids? To which they would almost always answer no. This is why we have such a rubbish system in Canada, the school system is full of people that are fed up with their jobs because they never wanted to be here to start with combined with frustrated that things did not work out the way they planned. When my parents were in school and a kid did not fit the mold he wasn't automatically labelled as ADD/ADHD,OCD, Bipolar and whatever teachers like to slap on nowadays, like seriously what is this. We also have a serious lack of accountability in Canada, teachers get away with doing whatever they want. Go on Ontario College of teachers and look up some of the investigations and I will let you see for yourself what I'm saying. Not too long ago an Ontario teacher had assaulted students in the classroom who according to him were misbehaving and he was suspended (with pay) for a year and all he had to do was complete an anger management course(needless to say a year later he was back teaching at that school and his anger management course was paid for by the school). When I was in highschool a few parents had launched a complaint on a chemistry teacher who was not teaching at all( and I mean he was literally sitting on his computer for an hour reading emails and letting us do what we wanted) and they were told that he was getting the students ready for university and colleges where we would be expected to learn on our own. There are so many things wrong with our system but it boils down to this:
1) Lack of accountability
2) Lax selection of teachers
3) Awful government policy where teachers are given everything they want whenever they go on strike.
I genuinely believe that our education system is the reason (or at least a major reason) why we have stupid people in this country. When people say that an education is not meant to be fun, then that's just a really ignorant statement. Of course there are some aspects that are not meant to be fun for everybody, BUT it does not mean the way of learning should be rigorous, unengaging, and restrictive. The problem with the education system is that its more revolved around getting a job or going to college after graduation. While i have no problem with either of those things, it really doesn't help when it's the only thing they care about, especially when they teach to a paper based test. A real test is based off of using what you've gained from actual experiences, to better handle things in the real world. Now all school is about, is 20% actual learning, and 80% pointless work. School needs to value more life-based stuff than just job/college stuff, like what happened to teaching things like parenting and driving? Is it because of money? Really? Oh wait its spent all on standardized testing, inefficient transportation, crappy school food, books, $10,000 smart boards etc etc. If the system is so concerned about job skills, things like OTJ Training exist! We need more classes in school that are there to better our lives, rather than make us memorize things up to a test, that probably wont help us much in the future. Parents wondering why their children don't want to go to school, it's not because they are selfish brats who hate learning, its because the environment there is unreasonably mundane and restrictive. It is not the same as it was in the 20th century. If you want kids to learn better, give them a reason as to why they should pay attention. Don't spoon feed them anything, but don't be a brick wall to the kids either. If kids complain about school, at least 65% of the time they complain for the right reasons. Of course getting a job is essential to the modern world, but it really shouldn't be the ONLY thing we care about in school.
