This is agerat service i use it for a while , but it looks it gets banned from almost sites :(
is there any similer service from another domain ?
Here is the first disposable email account service anybody can use. From any computer and operating system.
Simple, free and fun-to-use, this online service is the perfect fit each time you would like to give out an email address but without using your own personal one.
Photo credit: Anna Maria Lopez Lopez
Called PookMail, the new online service is as minimalist and easy-to-use as 1-2-3.
You create a virtual email account that will expire within 24 hours, use the email to subscribe or receive an email from a new contact you don't trust, and then login to see the email contents received in your disposable Pookmail inbox.
After 24 hours everything goes "puff" and nothing is left of your exchanges.
But PookMail does even more.
The latest addition to this brand new service is that with any newly disposable email account created on PookMail you also get an RSS feed to monitor in real-time new incoming messages to your selected PookMail account(s).
This makes it possible to subscribe to services without surrendering your personal private email address and avoiding tons of unethical corporate junk email that the likes of YahooGroups still impose on their registered users.
As a matter of fact, good applications and uses for PookMail are multiple and range from signing-up to services without letting your privacy wide open to abuse, to maintaining multiple disposal accounts in absence of access to traditional email software.
Here is how to use PookMail:
a) When a site or untrusted service asks for your email address, just make up one in your head in the format firstname.lastname@example.com and use it to obtain the info you need or to submit your request.
b) (Optional) Subscribe to the RSS feed that is exposed by logging in to your account at PookMail.com. This way you need only to use an RSS reader such as web-based Bloglines, or a desktop one to monitor all incoming emails.
c) Let enough time go by so that the response email is received and then go to http://www.pookmail.com and login with the email name you have given out at point a). So on the home page of PookMail you can log in simply by typing "whatagreatnameIhavethoughtof".
d) See your received emails in a neatly organized inbox.
e) Let PookMail clean up automatically all emails received after 24 hours.
Cons: Tested the service multiple times and it does work. The only thing that left me perplexed is that for some unknown reason any email I send to Pookmail from this very PC, no matter what email tool/service I use, do not ever get to destination. When I use a different computer the problem disappears.
Any suggestions?
Other applications?

Also try out shortmail.net. It has RSS feeds, is fast, clean, simple and has other features for fighting spam.

The first?
How about dodgeit.com? It's got RSS feeds and an even simpler UI. I believe it started around a year ago.

Have you tried mailinator? Same thing without RSS feed, been around for a year or so ...

One way to realise Self is to follow the traits of a Self-realised person*. Karma Yoga effectively means working just like the way a Self-realised person* would work. After realising Self, there is no identification with body-mind and hence there is no false ego so why would someone work exclusively for making money, for getting promotion in job, for higher social status etc. One would just work till the previous karmic debt is burnt with the intention to sustain the body and since there is a sense of oneness with everything as everything is Self as known to this person* he/she would do work as love/service towards the consciousness in everything (just like a common man works for himself due to his love for himself). Naturally, this type of work would be the work without bondage which would not be the work done solely for the sake of fruition of the work.
*Whether you realise Self or not, you are still a person to the outside world (the world comprising of people who are not Self-realised). But, after you realise Self you do not consider yourself as person as Self means consciousness.

Well I must admit I don't build custom kernels for my main computers. I only do so far a router I work with at work, and that one I do by patching and changing the source package since I run it through a mini build server.

Police have identified the victim of a fatal shooting outside Hudsons Taphouse as Ibrahim Yousef Chehini, 34.
Chehini was shot outside the bar's Oliver location at 112th Street and 104th Avenue around 2:20 Tuesday morning.
Police say a fight had broken out between two groups of men inside the pub.
One group was kicked out, only to get involved with another group of men outside, a manager told CBC.
Police say that's when shots were fired. A second person was treated for a superficial bullet wound to his arm. He was treated at hospital and released.
No one has been arrested in the shooting.

Product description for Camp CHALK from our collection of Outdoor Sports & Fashion:
The Chalk Block by CAMP for those who know it's more than psychological!
2 ounce blocks of super-pure, bone-dry chalk. Many climbers prefer breaking and powdering blocks of chalk.
Do you care about what you breathe in or put on your skin? Air quality at indoor public and private gyms can often be rather nasty. Most climbers do not realize that chalk can contain numerous impurities and additives. Recent studies have shown that inhaled chalk dust is harmful to the lungs if it contains more than 1% crystalline silica. Drying agents have also been known to contribute to cracking of the skin and decrease friction.
CAMP chalk (a form of magnesium carbonate (4MgCO2-Mg(OH)2-4H2O)) is tested by an independent laboratory to verify its purity. The measured content of silicon is just 0.021% (equivalent to 0.043% crystalline silica), far less than the dangerous threshold. Our chalk is also tested for other potential harmful chemicals: arsenic <0.0001%, chromium <0.0001%, nickel 0.0001%, lead <0.0001%, cadmium <0.0001%, boron 0.0002%, chromium hexavalent <0.0001%, selenium <0.0001%, mercury <0.00001%, antimony <0.0001%, and zinc <0.0001%.
Plus, it is super, super dry. To our surprise, it is one of the products our athletes cite most often as one of the very best in our line. Who knew something so simple could bring so much joy?

Bostjan Nachbar drained all six of his 3-point attempts in Sunday's win over Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 15 (AP) -- Bostjan Nachbar's outside shooting kept the New Jersey Nets in the race for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Nachbar, a reserve forward, scored 25 points and shot 6-for-6 from 3-point range to help the Nets beat the Indiana Pacers 111-107 on Sunday afternoon. The Nets moved within one game of Washington for the No. 6 spot in the East with two games to go.
Vince Carter, who scored 35 points for the Nets, was glad to get some help besides the usual assistance from Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson. He said Nachbar has done a good job of finding a niche.
"We have a lot of confidence in him,'' Carter said. "He's aggressive getting to the basket and he shoots the hell out of the ball. He's a great asset to what we have already.''
Nachbar deflected credit, instead saying his teammates set him up.
"I made the first couple, and I felt good,'' he said. "With the team we have, if somebody gets hot, they are going to be looking for you. I'm not creating my own shots, it's the other guys. I'm just basically shooting.''
The Nets shot 51 percent from the field and made 13 of 23 3-pointers to sweep the season series 4-0. A loss would have given the Nets their first losing season since 2000-01, their last season before Kidd joined the team.
Indiana entered the game trailing the Orlando Magic by two games for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference with three games to play. Any combination of a win by Orlando or a loss by the Pacers the rest of the way will eliminate the Pacers for the first time since the 1996-97 season.
The Nets knew the Pacers had a lot to gain with a win, but New Jersey came in focused.
"We weren't going to come in and lay down,'' Carter said. "We knew they weren't going to lay down. We were expecting a playoff atmosphere, and that's what we got.''
The Pacers' postseason chances took a major hit on Sunday, but their real undoing came just after the All-Star break during an 11-game losing streak.
The Pacers already have clinched their first losing season in a decade.
"This has been my toughest year by far,'' Jermaine O'Neal, who led the Pacers with 20 points, said. "We put ourselves in this predicament. We're not in position to feel sorry for ourselves. We need to challenge ourselves.''
Troy Murphy and Danny Granger each scored 17 points for the Pacers. Indiana shot 12-for-20 from 3-point range and had seven players score in double figures, but struggled defensively.
A sellout crowd of 18,165 watched the Pacers try to keep their hopes alive. New Jersey led 105-96 after a 3-point play on a dunk by Nachbar with 2:55 to go, causing many of the fans to start filing out of Conseco Fieldhouse.
O'Neal made two free throws with 1:52 left to cut New Jersey's lead to 107-104, and the Pacers had a chance to tie after Carter missed a 3-pointer at the other end. Granger's 3-pointer missed, and New Jersey got the rebound. The Nets extended their lead to 110-104 on a jumper by Kidd with 11.3 seconds to go.
Jamaal Tinsley, who had missed the past five games with a sore right elbow, made a 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left to make it 110-107. The Pacers fouled Carter, who missed his first free throw with three seconds left to give the remaining Pacers fans hope. He made the second to end the Pacers' chances.
"We've got to somehow learn how to finish games,'' Indiana guard Darrell Armstrong said. "If you can't finish games, you kill yourself. This is what you get. I feel bad for J.O. (O'Neal) and the fans to have to see a season like this.''
Notes: Reggie Miller, Indiana's career leading scorer, was the leader in fan voting for the Pacers' 40th anniversary team. Mel Daniels, the anchor of the teams that won three ABA championships, was second and O'Neal finished third. The other Pacers selected are Rik Smits, George McGinnis, Dale Davis, Mark Jackson, Billy Keller, Antonio Davis, Roger Brown, Billy Knight and Clark Kellogg. The 12 players selected were honored at halftime. ... The Pacers wore throwback uniforms in honor of their inaugural 1967 team. ... The Pacers went 3-2 with Keith McLeod starting in place of Tinsley. ... Carter scored the first nine points of the game. ... Carter became the first Net to score more than 2,000 points in a season.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (MarketWatch) — I made the case here last summer to give Japanese stocks a try. The market was cheap, I thought, and the yen was expensive and likely to go lower, helping exporters to be more competitive. That's exactly what happened: the yen plunged and the stock market soared.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 57.4% in the 12 months through May 30, carrying mutual funds that focus on Japan up 37.5% on average. The discrepancy is due mainly to the decline in the yen, which reduces the dollar value of Japanese assets.
The catalyst for the plunge in the yen and for much of the rally in stocks is a shift in policy by the Bank of Japan under Haruhiko Kuroda, who took charge of the central bank in March. Kuroda pledged to buy government bonds, as the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank have done, to try to stimulate economic growth, and he tossed around the possibility of going even further and buying stocks.
As impressive as the Japanese stock market has been, however, it was doing even better before a 15% drop between the intraday high on May 23 and the close on May 30. A correction after the parabolic rise that Japan's market experienced is to be expected, but investors also may have begun to recognize that conditions are much different from a year ago.
The yen is roughly in the middle of its trading range of the last several years, and stocks have become expensive. Even after the recent retreat, the Nikkei NIK, -0.47% trades at about 21 times earnings for the previous four quarters, compared to about 17 for the Standard & Poor's 500 SPX, +0.32% in the United States and the low teens for many European markets.
That rich valuation and the less favorable foreign-exchange backdrop should make you think twice about chasing the rally in Japan if you haven't participated. If you have been along for the ride, then good for you, but now it may be time to take the money and run.
Setting sun
Japan has more than a high price-earnings multiple working against it. Investors may be questioning their faith in Kuroda and the salutary effects of a continuously shrinking yen, with good reason. A recent study by Credit Suisse found that the impact of currency movements on the fortunes of corporate Japan are more muted than is widely believed.
Between 1980 and 2012, the study by Hiromichi Shirakawa and Takashi Shiono reported, a 1% decline in the yen resulted in a 0.7% rise in overall profits in the following quarter and just 0.2% longer term. Looking just at data since 2000, they observed a negative long-term relationship between the yen and corporate profits.
Their conclusion: "It is therefore possible that estimates based on the full 1980-2012 sample overstate the positive impact of a weaker yen. In other words, the structure of the Japanese economy may no longer be consistent with a 0.7% increase in ordinary profits for every 1% depreciation of the yen."
The decline in the yen USDJPY, -0.40% from record or near-record levels against the dollar and euro last year almost certainly will benefit exporters and could provide a bigger immediate lift to profitability in Japan than was experienced during other times of yen weakness. That the decline occurred when valuations were so low must have been especially helpful for stocks, too.
But it's hard to see how any earnings improvement from here will be enough to overcome the reduction in the dollar values of Japanese stocks if the yen keeps falling.
For investors who want to have their cake and eat it, too, exchange-traded WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund DXJ, -0.01% provides full participation in the stock market without exposure to foreign-exchange movements. If the yen continues to drop and Japanese corporate profits go through the roof, fund owners gain with no pain.
But this also works in reverse. A Japanese stock market decline is likely to be accompanied by a recovery in the yen. A rising yen would cushion the fall for investors in conventional Japan funds but not in hedged vehicles like the WisdomTree ETF.
It's always possible that foreign-exchange rates will stabilize and that companies will continue to benefit from the decline that the yen has achieved so far. But don't count on it. At 21 times earnings, Japanese stocks seem to be priced for such an ideal outcome, if not more, and it has been many years since conditions in Japan have been ideal.

This week might be our hardest crushing on vote so far! First up is J.Lo's pick, William Levy.
William Levy
Maybe you didn't know who this gorgeous Cuban actor was before, but Levy was lucky enough to be chosen by La Lopez for her new music video "I'm Into You" which premiered this morning on the Today show. Telenovela fans should recognize him as the galan from their favorite shows.
Enrique Iglesias
Enrique has been everywhere ever since his new album Euphoria dropped—collaborating with everyone from Pitbull and the Jersey Shore kids to Wisin Y Yandel and Juan Luis Guerra. He was rewarded for his efforts last week with nine (9!) Premios Billboard awards and we have to say, he totally deserved it!
Don Omar
Sure, he may have gone through a messy (and very public) divorce from his former wife, Jackie Guerrido, but that hasn't phased this reggaetonero. His video for "Danza Kuduro" broke records on Youtube and his latest film, Fast Five managed to demolish every other film in the box office this weekend, setting records for the biggest April opening for a movie…ever!


text: Dimensions: 20.50 cm wide x 8.50 cm high Description: Xylographic print on rectangular sheet of paper. Page is in the pothi format. Off-white paper with faint purple printed lines. Paper shows signs of being torn along bottom edge. Bottom edge also shows four small notches (possiblly the result of the leaf once being part of or stored in a bound volume). The paper is printed with faint purple lines. Paper is unwatermarked. The paper is probably of Russian manufacture. FRONT Block Printed Buddhist mantra "Om mani padme hum" in black ink. Sanskrit text printed in a Tibetan script. Mantra is repeated 35 times (5 columns of 7 lines). Text is enclosed in a box border. The paper used for the printing has faint purple printed vertical and diagonal lines. The spacing between the vertical purple lines forms a patern forming one thin column (0.5 cm. wide) on either side of two thicker columns (1.0 cm. wide). The diagonal lines are evenly spaced at 2.5 cm apart BACK Blank - No text A few ink stains and some ink bleed through from the opposite side of the sheet. The paper used was printed with faint purple vertical and diagonal lines. The diagonal lines are clearly visible on the back. The pattern and spacing of the purple lines are the same as on the front. NOTES The text printed on this sheet is the famous Tibetan Buddhist prayer "Om Mani Padme Hum." This is the Buddhist mantra (prayer) of Chenrezig (the Buddha of Compassion) and is the most frequently used of all the Buddhist mantras. It is used in meditationa and Buddhists believe that saying the mantra out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig. Viewing the mantra in written form is believed to have the same effect.

This winter Baur au Lac in Zurich, overlooking the lake and Alps, is pulling out all the stops to make it the place to stay for a true festive getaway. Zurich has so much to offer at this time of year with traditional Christmas markets and delicious festive treats on every street corner filling the air with fragrant aromas of citrus, spices and hot spiced mulled wine.
The bustling city of Zurich is a must visit during the festive season. Christmas Markets stretch far and wide across the city – visit the market in the Train Station, in the Old Town or for an unconventional alternative there is Heiliger Bim Bam found in a former factory hall with a variety of stalls set to a playlist of latest music. After a day on your feet the Baur au Lac offers a welcome respite with traditional afternoon tea daily in the lobby or glühwein and Christmas stollen in the Baur au Lac park every Thursday and Friday afternoon/early evening.
On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, enjoy seasonal gastronomy at the Michelin Starred Pavillon and Christmas Day brunch at Salon Français, Petit Palais and Le Hall. Cuisine at Pavillon will include dishes like essence of Guinea Fowl, Imperial Caviar, Laurent Eperon's Ile D'yeu Bass caught on the line and twice cooked French Hare. But remember to leave room for the hotel's own 'Chocolat 1844', used in a selection of opulent deserts.
The show-stopping finale to Baur au Lac's holiday festivities will be the magical New Year's Eve Ball and Dinner. Guests can choose to dine at either Pavillon, Le Petit Palais & Les Salons or Rive Gauche, each serving a gastronomic feast which is followed by live music from the gala band 'This Masquerade'. Just before mid-night the church bells will chime across the city ringing in the New Year, which is followed by darkness as all the lights around the lake go out to be replaced with a spectacular display of fireworks over Lake Zurich.
Baur au Lac is also an ideal stop over for winter sport enthusiasts on their way to the Alps. With its close proximity to the train station and international airport, Baur au Lac is the perfect city luxe to tag onto a ski holiday.

Celebrity Refunds Passage and expenses
An update from my cruises dot site today
May 8, 2011
" an ABC Michigan affiliate, broke the news Thursday evening that James Keskeny, a 66-year-old from Pinckney, Michigan, would be refunded his cruise fare as well as the out-of-pocket travel expenses he incurred to get home from Guadeloupe, where he was debarked on February 18. Celebrity said that the debarkation was necessary because Keskeny, who has multiple sclerosis and is confined to a wheelchair, needed help getting into and out of bed and using the bathroom (where he suffered a fall) -- "special assistance above and beyond what is provided to our disabled or wheelchair-bound guests." When given the option of hiring a private duty nurse or debarking the ship, he chose to debark.
Keskeny previously said that he spent around $4,000 for an accessible Sky Suite on Celebrity Century during a Bare Necessities Tour & Travel nude charter sailing to the Southern Caribbean.
Keskeny's attorney, Richard Bernstein, told the Detroit-area news outlet the Royal Oak Daily Tribune that the refund amounted to $5,636.26. Celebrity spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez, however, told Cruise Critic the "exact amount of the refund is still being verified since Keskeny paid his cruise fare directly to the charter company." Although in a phone conversation with Cruise Critic, Bernstein could not verify the exact amount, he told us that the cruise line had refunded his client for the cruise fare, airfare and some travel-related incidentals, and that as far as he was concerned, the refund was what he was looking for
and that part of the case is closed.
In addition to the recompense, Martinez reported that Celebrity has agreed to a one-time meeting with Keskeny, his lawyer and his ADA consultant to let Keskeny explain his concerns directly to company personnel. The effort is "being undertaken to determine whether improvements are possible to any of our previously existing processes to provide assistance to special needs guests," she said. Martinez noted in mid-April that Keskeny's suite was fully ADA compliant, as advertised. Bernstein disputed the claim, telling Cruise Critic that a site inspection will be necessary.
Martinez added that Celebrity is not admitting any fault regarding Keskeny. "We are satisfied this matter is resolved and we remain committed to providing an accessible cruise vacation to our guests with special needs."
Bernstein stresses that his team is going into the meeting with a positive attitude, hoping to work together with the cruise line in good faith to make sure that the total cruise experience is ADA compliant so that future disabled passengers can cruise with ease. However, if Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. demonstrates that its ships are not compliant and refuses to work toward making them compliant, Bernstein does reserve the right to file a lawsuit over fleetwide compliance issues.
The goal of such a suit would be to force the cruise line to adhere to the ADA's legal requirements
, rather than to award his client more financial gains. "
end of quote.
I underlined the
two points in a refund was the first desire and settled but the second point is a potential suit about ADA's guidelines being met.
It is importamt to note that Celebrity is not admitting any fault and has offered to meet to discuss ADA guidelines.
Next Cruise:
Celebrity Infinity-1, Dawn Princess-1, Sea Princess-2, Golden Princess-2, HA Maasdam-1,
SS Cavina-1

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department
Press Release
DATE: September 23, 2013
LOCATION: Means Dry Lake at Johnson Valley Off-Highway Vehicle Park in Johnson Valley
The Morongo Basin Search and Rescue Team is a volunteer group with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and was formed in 1957. The 40 plus members have the responsibility of covering 5200 square miles within the Morongo Basin as well as a large part of the Mojave Desert. Members of the Search and Rescue Team are citizen volunteers who are dedicated to helping people and the community. Members must master extensive skills such as desert survival, tracking, land navigation, first aid / CPR, technical rock rescue and rappelling. All members are certified and meet requirements on a national level. The volunteers are on call 24 hours per day and must equip themselves with personal survival gear necessary to accomplish their missions. Average costs are $300 - $600 per person, but most spend much more than that on specialized gear. The team is also equipped with the latest technology in search and rescue including rope rigging gear, radios, GPS and laptop computers for mapping and coordinating a search.
To help offset costs, the team sponsors an off-road event every year at the Johnson Valley Off-Highway Vehicle Park in Johnson Valley. The base camp will be located at Means Dry Lake this year, just off Boone Road. Take State Route 247 (19 miles North from Yucca Valley or 26 miles South from Lucerne Valley) to Boone Road. Turn east onto Boone Road and follow the signs to the base camp. This is a family event - not a race. The Desert Run will be held over the weekend of October 5th and consists of a 15 to 20 mile course designed to meet a variety of off-road challenges. You must have a four-wheel drive vehicle to participate and the trail will be marked "Easy" and "Hard" so you can choose which challenge you would like to take. On the course, you will encounter sandy washes, steep hills and some beautiful scenery with checkpoints throughout the course. While on the course, participants will stop at checkpoints to play a game. Halfway through the course, there will be a checkpoint with a porta-potty. Vendors will set up displays at the base camp and we will have entertainment on Saturday night. There will be prizes and trophies awarded to first, second and third place game winners.
Activities begin on Friday, October 4th at 4:00 pm and conclude Sunday morning. Activities include the registration booth, vehicle teeter - totter, articulation ramp, various kids' games, a bounce house, official event t-Shirt vendor and various other vendor displays. Hot food will also be available throughout the weekend with the actual run taking place on Saturday morning.
Tickets for the Desert Run are just $55 if you pre-register on-line by October 1st or $60 at the event. If you would like more information or to pre-register on line, visit the official Desert Run website at www.desertrun.org. If you have additional questions, contact Search and Rescue at (951) 203-6816.

text: Helping children to learn about money and saving In this section there is a range of guides covering: Teaching children about money If you are short of time and looking for some quick ideas to help encourage your children to start thinking about managing money in everyday situations, try our 4 step guide. 4 easy steps to help children understand the value of money Children and tax You may think, as many people do, that children don't pay tax. In fact, children are taxed in the same way as adults. They can currently earn up to £11,500 a year tax-free - through jobs, savings and investments. Most children won't use up their allowance, so the interest on their savings is typically tax-free. But what many people forget is the fact that any interest earned on money given to a child by a parent is only tax-free up to £100 interest, per parent or step-parent. Where a child earns more than £100 in interest in a year, the child's earnings are taxed at the parent's tax rate. Saving for children with a friendly society keeps things simple because, providing the conditions of the plan are met, bonus payments are tax-free. Under current legislation, each person (including children) can save up to £25 a month in a Friendly Society Tax Exempt Savings Plan. There is no Capital Gains Tax or Income Tax to pay when you take out a child savings plan through a Friendly Society. To ensure the tax-efficiency of the plan, you must continue your monthly contributions for your chosen term. If this isn't the case, any gains the plan makes may be subject to tax. Tax rules may change and depend on individual circumstances. What is Income Tax? Income tax is a tax paid on income. It is paid by employees and people who are self-employed. It may also be payable if you aren't working if, for example, you have an income from a pension or savings. There is no minimum age at which a person becomes liable to pay income tax. What matters is the amount of your taxable income. If this is below a certain level, no tax is payable. Income on which tax has to be paid includes most savings income for shares or trusts. What is Capital Gains Tax? Capital Gains Tax is a tax on the gain (or profit) you make when you sell, give away or otherwise dispose of something. Saving Squad The UK's mutual insurers, including Foresters Friendly Society, are working together to encourage the next generation of savers, with the launch of a free, fun website targeted at seven to eleven year olds. Saving Squad allows children to get their hands dirty in 'real life' money spending scenarios. For example, children can earn points to either save in the virtual bank where they'll earn interest - or to spend in the 'Get Stuff!' shop. Designed by educational experts on behalf of the Association of Financial Mutuals (AFM), www.savingsquad.org encourages a healthy attitude toward money and savings by bringing money to life for the next generation through with fun educational games, helping children to improve their numeracy skills and understand the benefits of saving money. The site features tailor-made sections for children, teachers, parents and carers which provide a well-rounded approach to learning about money at home, at school and at play.

(Literary Masterpieces, Critical Compilation)
In his novel The Madonna of Excelsior, based on an event that occurred in Excelsior in South Africa in 1971, Zakes Mda begins in the middle of the plot, then returns to the past to explain how the significant event occurred, and then charts the results of that event. He devotes his first short chapter to a meeting between Niki, with her blue-eyed child, Popi, and Father Frans Claerhout, a priest who paints native women amid the South African landscape. Mda often begins chapters with descriptions of the paintings of Claerhout, a kind of Flemish expressionist whom Mda had actually met. The chapter ends with Popi thinking of Claerhout's canvases and the comparison of his work to "God's own canvas."
In the following chapter Mda presents Niki and Popi at a garden party that includes the "very cream of Excelsior society," especially, and ironically, the men who were accused of having had sexual relations with the black women of the town. At the party, Popi and Niki see Tjaart Cronje, who is Popi's half brother. By the end of the novel Popi and Tjaart, who are separated by race and economic status, are somewhat reconciled, just as the children of the black Madonnas painted by Claerhout will represent the new South Africa.
Following this prelude, in which readers learn of the Immorality Act prohibiting sexual relations between the races, Mda returns his readers to Niki's past. By beginning that past when Niki is a teenager capable of sexual relations, Mda implies that Niki's life begins when she is treated as sexual property by the Afrikaner men. Her first sexual experience occurs when Johannes Smit, known to Niki's friends as "Hairy Buttocks" and "Limp Stick," finally succeeds in raping her. Smit will continue to lust after Niki.
Niki marries Pule, who works in the distant South African coal mines, and has his son, Viliki. Pule sends her money, but his prolonged absences leave her alone and vulnerable. She feels that she is being raped by the eyes of the Afrikaners and is subjected to a strip search when she is suspected of stealing goods from her employer. At a cherry festival Smit makes a pass at Niki, but Stephanus Cronje helps her escape from Smit and then has sex with her. The relationship, which seems consensual, actually is not, given their unequal status, and it is hardly unique, as four other mixed-race couples join them at a barn where there is a sexual orgy (perhaps to his credit, Cronje does not share Niki with the other men). Ultimately, twelve pregnant black women and their Afrikaner partners are charged with breaking the Immorality Act.
To illustrate how miscegenation pervaded the Afrikaner power structure, Mda focuses not only on rich farmers like Cronje and Smit but also on Groot-Jan Lombard, head of the police, and on the Reverend François Bornman. In effect, government and religion implicitly sanction interracial sexual relations. Mda also focuses on the unequal treatment given to the Afrikaner men and the black women (the "Excelsior Nineteen"). While Adam de Vries successfully arranges bail for his Afrikaner clients, the black women are committed to jail until their trials. During their confinement, many of them, including Niki, give birth to mixed-race children.
Reactions to the charges also vary. Overcome with shame, Cronje commits suicide; and the Reverend Bornman, who attributes his actions to the seductive work of black women collaborating with the devil, botches his own suicide attempt, losing an eye but gaining the sympathy of his parishioners. Apparently the other Afrikaner men have no guilt or shame. Niki, fearful of Pule's reaction, attempts to make Popi into a black child by shaving her blond hair and by trying to "brown" her skin by holding her over a fire. When another series of miscegenation cases is brought to light, the charges against all the "guilty" black women are dropped. Mda suggests that when enough Afrikaner men are embarrassed, the laws are no longer enforced.
While Niki is the focus of the first half of the novel, it is Popi who is the main character of the second half, though Niki does remain the moral center of the story. For his painting of the "Blue Madonna," which Mda describes...

AU Press Releases
Chinese students from Chengdu to plant 'thank you tree'
Seven students from the city of Chengdu in the Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China, will show their appreciation to the community that has been their home for the past nine month, planting a "thank you tree" at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 12, next to the Terra Cotta building on Main Street.
The ceremony is open to the public.
It was a year ago, on May 12, 2008, that a massive earthquake devastated Chengdu. Students enrolled in schools there were left with few options for continuing their educations. Under an initiative coordinated by the State University of New York (SUNY), 150 Chinese students were enrolled in 22 SUNY units for the current academic year.
SUNY said the initiative, which covered tuition, room and board, "allowed them to continue their education and return to their country as a vanguard to help rebuild the local economy and infrastructure in the earthquake impacted region."
Five of the students enrolled in materials science courses, offered through Alfred University's statutory unit, the New York State College of Ceramics, and two enrolled in liberal arts program at Alfred State College.
They arrived in Alfred in mid-August, just in time for the start of classes; with the ending of the school year approaching, the students are preparing to return home.
The tree they will plant Tuesday "expresses their gratitude for the opportunity to study here and for the ways in which faculty, students and the community have reached out with support and understanding," explained Carla Coch, associate director of the Confucius Institute at Alfred University.
The tree they have chosen is a dawn redwood (metasequoia glyptostroboides), a deciduous conifer native to the Sichuan Province. An ancient tree once thought to be extinct, it was rediscovered in 1941 and successfully propagated.
"The students feel a living, permanent memorial is a fitting way to say 'thank you' for their year at Alfred, and to symbolize the transformation of loss to renewal, of sorrow to hope," said Coch.
She extended a special thanks to Jim Sauerbier at Steuben Landscaping in Wayland and to Glenn Zweygardt, professor emeritus of sculpture, School of Art & Design at Alfred University, for the plaque.

Reviews for Mucomyst-10
For Acetaminophen Overdose "It was really early in the morning, and I went to take Tylenol, when I misread the directions. I meant to measure out two tablespoons of the drug, but accidentally used my measuring cup instead. I ended up chugging two cups of Tylenol instead! I was rushed to the hospital and given Mucomyst-10 to offset the effects. Mucomyst-10 saved my life. Thank you Mucomyst-10!"

We want you here. We will welcome you! When you make the effort to come, we are confident you will find that you belong.
How much does Alt Summit cost?
In the past, tickets have been priced at $625 for individuals - like bloggers, social media influencers and small shop owners (with 4 employees or less). And the past price for business attendees was $2500.
In 2017 we reduced the price dramatically, Just $495 for individuals and $1495 for business attendees. That's a big discount from our last event! And we're happy to announce that prices will not change for the 2018 summit.
Not sure whether you should register as a business or an individual? If you're employed by a company (with 5 or more employees) who is sending you to Alt Summit to represent their business and make connections on their behalf, then register for a business ticket.

Our room block will open on August 1 for registered attendees. Details about how and to book will be sent to ticket holders via email.
What is up with business cards at Alt?
Since Alt is a business conference for creative people, we can't say that we were surprised when the business cards that attendees showed up with were the coolest, prettiest, and most fun we'd ever seen. Business cards at Alt Summit can be breathtaking, inspired, practical, funny, or simple. And we have a display wall at the conference where we showcase all of them.
Business cards are not required, but if you want to connect with others at Alt, they are recommended. Plan on bringing about 200 cards.
Is fashion a big deal at Alt?
The attendees of Alt Summit have a high level of respect for the others in attendance and show that by looking their best. And some love using the conference as an excuse to up their fashion game. But there is no official dress code, no fashion police on hand, and there are plenty of attendees who don't worry about their latest look. However, if you want to dress up a little, go for it. Oh, and we like your shoes!
How can I apply to be a speaker?
The official Call for Speakers for the upcoming 2018 is not yet open. Watch for dates and announcements via our newsletter.
I heard speakers get a complimentary conference registration. If I want to be a speaker, should I buy a ticket now, or wait until I find out if I've been chosen to speak?
If you want to secure a spot at Alt Summit, we definitely recommend getting your ticket right away. Speakers will be announced this fall and chances are good we'll be sold out by then. If you're chosen as a speaker, and you've already purchased a conference ticket, a full refund will be made to you right away. So if you want to be at the conference no matter what, it's safest to buy your ticket now.
How do I apply to host a mini party or tour?
These opportunities are always open to everyone! The best way to keep informed of contests like these is to subscribe to our newsletter email list and social channels.
How do I join the Facebook Attendee Group?
Please join us! You can request to join our Altitude Summit Community Facebook Group here where you can meet other attendees and creatives, find a roommate, ask for advice, and share what you're working on. Be aware that Facebook only permits individuals to join groups; we are unable to add your Facebook page.
How do I sponsor a dinner or party at Alt Summit?
Alt Summit has the BEST sponsors! They come to connect with the amazing content creators in attendance and they're ready to collaborate and make business deals. If you think your company would be a great fit, please email: email@example.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
I'm not a sponsor, but my company wants to throw a party or dinner for attendees during the conference. Is that okay?
Actually, that's a big no. That would be considered Outboarding. Alt Summit doesn't allow Suitcasing, Outboarding or Partial Outboarding. And participating in any of those activities could mean your conference registration is revoked, and that you may not be able to participate in future events.
In more official terms: No Brand, Marketer, or Agency may host any event, function, training, seminar, focus group or other activity that, in the sole discretion of Alt Summit, competes with Alt Summit.
Not sure what "suitcasing" or "outboarding" means? Want more details? You can request our full brand policy by emailing email@example.com.

Beer Profile
Presidente Pilsner
Written by Team
Britton: I recently spent the week with the President in the Dominican Republic. If you've been to the Dominican Republic, odds are you've spent some time with the President as well if you drink beer. Presidente is the beer of the Dominican Republic. In fact it is about the only beer in the entire country.
The moment I stepped off the plane I saw advertisements everywhere for Presidente. I didn't see any other beer advertised which on one hand built up the anticipation to try this beer but made me nervous on the other hand. I was headed to an all inclusive resort. What if they only served Presidente and it turned out to be like most politicians – lots of hype but never really delivers?
After I got checked into my room, I headed down to the bar to see the beer selection that I would be enjoying for the week. And as I suspected – I ordered a cerveza and got a Presidente – my only option. The lovely bartender handed me a glass and I noticed its light, golden color. Based on the appearance I assumed I was going to be drinking the Dominican Republic's version of a cheap, light beer. The smell was faint with a hint of corn and hops. The taste was crisp but nothing really special. The finish was a bit more bitter than comparable American lagers.
I wasn't very impressed with my first glass of Presidente but when it's the only thing to drink in the hot Dominican sun, it has a tendency to grow on you. It didn't hurt that I didn't have to pay for each one since it was an all inclusive. If you are going to try this beer, it tastes better when you are sitting in the hot sun. I got one at the airport on the way out to get a picture and it wasn't nearly as good in that setting. For this beer, it is all about where you experience it. Grade: C
Taylor: My brother lives in Santo Domingo and brought me some Presidente on a recent trip home. I enjoyed this freezing Pilsner with a bowl of chili on a day when the heat index was over 100 degrees here in Chicago. There wasn't much to the taste that I didn't expect, other than the fact that I enjoyed it more than I anticipated. It was very cold, very crisp, and very refreshing. After finishing it, I didn't feel any level of full. There are so many adjuncts out there and Presidente can't possibly compete with craft beer, but as the token brew of the Dominican Republic, I've got to give it some props. I had a good bottle and really did enjoy every last drop. Grade: C+
Presidente Pilsner,
My favorite words in this review are "all inclusive resort". Yes please! And the beer sounds okay, too.Megan — February 12th, 2010, 9:10 PM
I was in the DR and a nun told me it was a sin not to try this beer. Go figure. My memory of beer experience was similar to yours – nothing special but refreshing nonetheless. Dominicans are better rum distillers than brewmasters.Marshall — February 12th, 2010, 9:27 PM
Megan, all inclusives are hard to beat!Britton — February 14th, 2010, 7:20 PM
by the way, interview with Matthew Brynildson (Firestone Walker) about american craft beer:Mike — January 29th, 2011, 1:53 PM
I just tried Presidente for the first time. I drank a 20 ounce green bottle import….I loved it. It was a little watery, but had a great Kronenberg( I'm sure I mis-spelled that) like taste(I thought it was a lager). I usually prefer lagers to pilsner, but, Presedente is a new exception. I'm somewhat disappointed by America's poor quality beer, America used to take pride in its beer, now its just cheap soda like swill. ( although, Mad Dog lager is pretty good). Presednte gets an A-rick — January 24th, 2012, 9:32 PM
I, too, encountered this swill at an all-inclusive resort; and it really takes an awful beer to make Coors Light taste good. It got me to switch to mixed drinks for the duration of my stay.
This is, quite possibly, the worst beer that I have ever tasted. If I had nothing else to drink, I would have to chill this down to close to freezing to make it drinkable.Jon — December 9th, 2015, 9:53 PM

WATCH: CNN's Victor Blackwell counts down and then eviscerates Trump's 8 biggest Twitter lies
Saturday morning marked the 8th anniversary of Donald Trump joining Twitter and to 'celebrate' the occasion, CNN's Victor Blackwell walked his audience through eight of Trump's biggest lies on the social media platform that helped launch his presidency.
"You know that today marks eight years since President Trump joined Twitter," Blackwell's segment was introduced. "His tweets may be coming back to haunt him. From his language about the travel ban on the campaign trail through the recent wiretapping claims, the president's words are putting him in a bind."
Blackwell then ran down Trump's lies beginning on Election Day 2012 where Trump asserted "global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing noncompetitive."
"This is one that President Donald Trump promoted for years despite no evidence that the Chinese created climate change," Blackwell explained. "According to NOAA and NASA, nearly all of the 17 hottest years occurred since 2000. After his November 2016 election win, Trump conceded a human impact on climate change telling the New York Times, 'I think there is some connectivity, some something. It depends on how much."
Blackwell then moved on to debunk seven more whoppers — including Trump's recent accusation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his office.

8-bit version of Hopper's Nighthawks
So glad I just now found out about kind of bloop. How did you know I love classical jazz and bitpunk?
Can we PLEASE STOP using 8-bit as a synonym for "retro game-y" "pixel art" or any number of other things?
The source link didn't refer to the art as 8-bit, so why meaninglessly assign that label yourself?
And I just did a quick-and-dirty (and not at all precise) color count, but there are fewer than 64 colors being used here. If we're using a palette, wouldn't calling it a 6-bit image be more appropriate?
"It's incredible that he was able to simplify such a complex painting so faithfully"
This literally takes just a few clicks in Photoshop.
Also, 8-bit machines were not capable of displaying the color range seen in this image.
I lived through 8 bit and for about 20 minutes the resurgence of 8 bit was an entertainment but now it needs to leave again so we can have a resurgence of 16 bit for our dose of nostalgia.
Depends upon the 8-bit machine. Atari home computers, with their palette-based system, could, I think, come pretty close.
When I think "8-bit" I think of the Nintendo NES and the Sega Master System (AKA Famicom and Sega Mk-II)...and they had faaaaar more resolution than this. This is just colorful blocks.
First came to say: this is the laziest art possible.
Then read the comments and thought: stop being nit-picking bastards
Then had a think about it and decided: I'm with the nit-pickers... this should be called by its correct terminology - "(non-isometric) pixel art"
I liked it. Immediately recognizable but yet unrecognizable. I don't know about 8 bit or effort or whatever, but thought is was great.
OK, I'll bite. Mona Lisa?
Whoa... I've obviously been playing too much Minecraft.
I agree. The Kind of Bloop is the star of this post. Diggin' it now.
So, what's the difference between this and a low res jpg? wait... you're telling me this is a low res jpg? Oh... this isn't art, it's a copyright violation.
Being featured on BoingBoing.
Makes me want to fire up the Maniac Mansion.
It may literally take just a few clicks in Photoshop to pixellate an image, but to get one that still looks and feels like the original takes more than a few clicks.
You know, just like taking a good photo takes just a single click. Excluding all those other clicks that got thrown away.
Unless you have a PS demonstration that shows the above is readily done using standard functions requiring no configuration...
Let's not forget the legal kerfuffle that Kind of Bloop's album cover caused:
Andy Baio was sued for $150k in statutory damage and legal fees, and $25k in DMCA violations.
He settled for $32k. That's absurd for a $9k kickstarter.
EVERYTHING. You question makes me sad, especially considering their site has very high res versions for download.
2560x1440 is low res? I wish Shutterstock thought 2560x1440 was low res!
Also: It is art... just lazy art. It's also definitely not copyright violation.
Words: they mean things.

FREE WiFI in Downtown Elkin A huge thank you goes out to the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) for providing a grant to help fund the costs of installing WiFi in downtown Elkin – a total project cost of $13,527.85. ARC has provided $9469.50 which covers 70% of the project expenses (for WiFi equipment) in downtown Elkin. The other 30% match, is courtesy of the Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce (grantee) and the Elkin Main Street Advisory Board who will pay for the service fees for the next 4 years. Now you can enjoy free WiFi while you are exploring Main Street, Market Street, the farmers market, and Crater Park along the Yadkin River! Together, these organizations provided WiFi service to enhance our downtown experience for residents and visitors alike. The provider who was awarded the project (after RFP's were posted for carriers in the region), was Surry Telephone (STMC). They did a fantastic job working with the business owners and the building owners to provide seamless coverage.

The First Friday Art Walk just got a little longer. This month marks the first time that two established local businesses, the Bentwood and Bead Gallery on Third Street and the Plant People on Seward, will host guest artists as part of Juneau's monthly cultural event.
Here's a look at what's happening all along the route.
Bentwood and Bead
315 Third St.
Bentwood and Bead Gallery will feature their first guest artist, David Riccio, as well as new works by gallery owners James and Salty Hanes. An opening reception will be held from 4:30 to 7 p.m.
Riccio's work includes ceramic sculptures and vessels, digitally manipulated etchings and photographs, embossed paper, batiks on silk and wood-block prints.
"We are honored to exhibit various new works of the talented David Riccio in our gallery," said Salty Hanes.
Beadwork and fiber are Salty Hanes' media. She has on display moccasins, beaded bags, semi-precious stone jewelry, beaded pictures and, her most recent work, a baby belt in the Athabaskan style.
James Hanes, a luthier, will show violins, relief and reduction prints, wood boxes with carved lids and two new wood sculptures. He will also show a sculpture that incorporates a Tlingit copper mask by David Galanin and another with a Tlingit silver mask by Nick Galanin, both of Sitka.
The gallery, which opened in December 2008, is open six days a week (closed Fridays) from 10 a.m. -5 p.m. throughout the summer or by appointment, 463-1277.
The Plant People
224 Seward St.
The Plant People will also host their first-ever First Friday at their new location, 224 Seward St. The Plant People, a plant-care service provider as well as a full-service florist, will feature landscape photographs by local photographer Damon Stuebner. An opening reception will run from 4:30-7 p.m.
For details, call 523-9825.
The Canvas Community Art Studio and Gallery
223 Seward St.
Seven artists from the Arc of Anchorage will exhibit new work at the Canvas in June in an exhibition titled "Heart Songs." The Arc, founded in 1957, is a private, not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting community integration and quality of life for those who experience developmental disabilities, behavioral health issues or deafness. The artists featured in the show were all inspired by music in creating their work, and express their process of transcending disability through art.
For more information call 586-1750 or visit www.canvasarts.org.
Annie Kaills
244 Front St.
Candice Christie will be the featured artist at Annie Kaill's this month, in her first appearance at the Front Street gallery, and will show her collection of mixed-media collages. Christie's work is paint-based but also contains elements of collage, including paper, found objects and acrylics, as well as gold, copper and sliver foil or leaf.
For details, call 586-2880 or visit www.annieandcojuneau.com.
350 Whittier St. (old Armory)
The Second Biannual Juried Art Show opens with a reception from 4:30-7 p.m.. at the Juneau Arts & Culture Center. Twenty-two local artists were selected by juror David Mollet to exhibit their pieces in the show, with media that ranges from oil paintings to photography to glass work.
The Juror's Choice award went to Jim Fowler, for his painting "Blowdown-Fish Creek."Honorable mentions were awarded to the following pieces (in no particular order):
"Jon on Big Chair" by Jane Terzis; "I Dream of Ships" by Margo Klass; "Shanlee & Kayla, Yupik Goddaughter and child" by Mary Ellen Frank; and "Reveler" by Patrice Helmar
Other artists in the show include Karen Beason, Linda Blefgen, Candice Christie, Barbara Craver, Christine Cooks, Tom Doran, Chris Grabowski, Rachael Juzeler, Sandra Mander, Monica O'Keefe, Magil Pratt, Rob Roys, Barbara Shepherd, Paul Voelckers, Tasha Walen, Mary Pat Wyatt, Richard Zagars.

For more information call 586-9891 or visit www.juneauartistsgallery.net.
120 Second St.
Alan Munroe will show his latest paintings at the Back Room at the Silverbow.
"A painting, at its beginning, is an unknown to me and is capable of taking on various direction depending on mood and relationships between basics like color and shape," Munroe said in an artist's statement. "Then from this nebulous start it becomes all about chance, randomness, chaos and making empirical choices to achieve visual balance."
for more information call 586-4146.
The artwork of 14 local students will be featured at KTOO in an exhibit organized by Tisket Sesler called "Tisket's Students." An opening reception will be held from 4:30-6 p.m.

When you're around a team as much as I am around Siena, you find that you have certain tendencies after games. When things go well, it's easy to credit a specific player or play and focus on that as why the team won.
When things don't go well, it's also easy to blame a player or play as the reason why the team lost.
There was none of that feeling after Siena fell to Canisius in the MAAC Quarterfinals on Saturday. I found that I wasn't mad or bitter. It was a good game and the team with the experienced seniors made more plays at the end than the inexperienced team of mostly underclassmen.
That was it for me. Seniors make plays to win. That's why everyone loves having seniors. Billy Baron made the shot that basically won the game, a three-pointer in the final minutes that pushed the Griffs lead to four points. Senior Chris Manhertz dominated the interior after halftime, repeatedly scoring on second chances.
The Saints didn't do anything wrong to lose the game. Rather, it was Canisius that made the plays to win the game. It's really that simple sometimes.
And so, the Siena season comes to an end with a 15-17 record. It was certainly an entertaining year filled with close games and a team that improved as the season went on.
There is much to be excited about for next season. The entire roster is scheduled to return and every key contributor will be a year older.
However, I always caution that one of my pet peeves in sports is people who assume that a year older means a year better.
There are hundreds of examples where that is untrue. Look at LaSalle this year. Sweet 16 last year, lost one senior and now are struggling to finish .500.
Just because you are a year older does not mean you will improve. If the players work hard and improve their skills and strength, then yes, they will be a year better. But without that hard work, players are just as likely to worsen as they are to improve.
So let's hold off until November before we anoint the Saints a MAAC title contender. In fact, maybe we should hold off even longer than that.
Yes, things are looking up for the program, that's for sure. But 20-win seasons and MAAC Championships take a lot of hard work and dedication, not just talk.
Speaking of the MAAC Championship, I enjoyed last night's title game between Manhattan and Iona. It was fitting those two teams played as I think most would agree they were the top two teams from the preseason all the way through the conference tournament.
Congratulations to the Jaspers on their first trip to the Big Dance since 2004. There were some lean years mixed in there and the victory was well-deserved.
But let's clarify one thing I read in a New York newspaper this morning. The paper said head coach Steve Masiello stepped into an "unenviable" situation because the Jaspers had only won six games the year before.
I would actually argue quite the opposite, it was a very "enviable" situation in my opinion.
The current coaching staff inherited some pretty solid players to say the least. George Beamon finished in the top 10 all-time in scoring at Manhattan. Rhamel Brown is probably the best defensive player Manhattan has ever had and is one of the best shotblockers in MAAC history. Point guard Michael Alvarado is a steady floor general who hits big shots.
Those are some nice building blocks to work with. Now, is it true the previous regime who recruited those players was unable to win with those guys? Absolutely. But let's not make it seem like the cupboard was totally bare.
Best of luck to the Jaspers in the NCAA Tournament. A seed around 13 seems likely and hopefully Manhattan can make the MAAC proud with their performance.

WWE SummerSlam 2012 Predictions: Expect Daniel Bryan to Demolish KaneAugust 16, 2012
It's been rough sledding for the "Yes Man" turned "No Man" Daniel Bryan recently, but his luck is about to change.
There is no conceivable way Bryan could lose to Kane at SummerSlam on Sunday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Bryan has been one of the biggest pleasant surprises within the company in 2012. His above-average mic work and unbelievable ring skills are put on full display. This guy has "star" written all over him and the WWE knows it.
He's hands down the best technical wrestler within the WWE and this talent hasn't been fully utilized recently. The creative team has been hung up on the whole AJ storyline and it's taking away from his luster. Having him absolutely demolish a formidable opponent like Kane in the second-biggest PPV event of the year is the perfect opportunity to remind fans of his abilities.
Kane is merely a pawn in the eyes of the company. He's a veteran that's been around for seemingly forever, but has been relegated to a second-tier star. He still lands top-tier matches, but no longer wins them.
There are no storylines of note right now with Kane; and unless AJ starts flirting with him again, he has no real direction following this match.
Bryan, on the other hand, needs a convincing win to assure the WWE Universe that he is indeed a capable World Title contender. He needs a big win to reaffirm fans' beliefs after suffering mental and physical setbacks against the likes of AJ and CM Punk of late.
Bryan has the potential to be one of the headliners of a PPV event someday soon. He just needs a few more matches against wrestlers like Kane to slowly rise to the top.
