Ten Thoughts On A Memory (The Final Reformation Of The Four Horsemen)
10 Thoughts on a Memory
The Final Reformation of The Four Horsemen
WCW Monday Nitro
We Want Flair, We Want Flair, We Want Flair!!!…
The fans were absolutely jacked, anticipating what they so crazily wanted. James J. Dillon, the legendary manager of The Four Horsemen and the innovator of the dreaded Loafer of Doom (TM), is silently walking to the ring. For months leading up to this moment, there had been speculation of the most impactful faction in the history of professional wrestling reuniting. Could this be it? First, a small bit of back story…
Early in 1998, Ric Flair had a decision to make. He could either go to his son Reid's wrestling tournament in his hometown, or show up for a Thunder taping that he was not even going to be used on. He obviously chose the former, being a good father; he chose to go to his son's tournament.
Eric Bischoff, the demon spawn of the ratings era and the fact that nobody (other than Tony Freakin' Schiavone) was available to take over WCW in 1993, had been looking for a reason to fire Flair for years, feeling that his overblown guaranteed contract was not worth it anymore. He suspended Flair, much to the dismay of the paying customer who had tired of Bischoff's love affair with Hulk Hogan and his nWo. This led to months of fans chanting for Flair and The Four Horsemen to come back and save them from the drudgery of WCW's weekly television.
1. I remember watching this like it was yesterday. J.J. walking to the ring in the tux was just an ominous sign. You just KNEW something big was going on. See, back then, we did not have the IWC to tell us, or spoil the big moments in wrestling. Nowadays, we know what is going to happen before it even happens. You knew Brock was coming back the day after 'Mania for instance. Back then, we had to make an educated guess as to what would transpire. There was no guessing here, as The Horsemen were back!! We Want Flair, We Want Flair…
2. Four Horsemen Theme Song – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq_GDQj53IQ&feature=related
J.J. doesn't waste any time, introducing The Enforcer, Arn Anderson! He puts up the familiar 4 fingered salute that we all knew and loved. My stomach was doing all sorts of flips and turns at this point. J.J. starts telling us of a private conversation he had with Arn, apologizing for not believing in him. You just knew that this was real. It is hard to distinguish in wrestling, but you knew this was real. We Want Flair, We Want Flair….
3. " Tonight is a new beginning for The Four Horsemen!" With those words Arn put the whole wrestling world on notice. They were back, and it was just a matter of time before THE MAN came down!! We Want Flair, We Want Flair….(getting ever so louder with each moment)
4. Arn then introduces the other Horsemen. Steve "Mongo" McMicheal, Dean Malenko, and the man who shall not be named. And on that note, let us just pass this segment over because the man that was the best WRESTLER by god in the world and could have carried himself and others to super stardom, was a killer and a maniac. Of all the sad stories on wrestling over the years, yes, including Owen, this is by far the toughest pill to swallow for me. But the show must go on, so, We Want Flair, We Want Flair…
5. The crowd has to be mentioned here. They are completely ripped and jacked for ALL of this. The rabidity of their enthusiasm is a sight to behold. They even go so far as to INTERRUPT the man on the mic, Arn Anderson for what? You guessed it…We Want Flair, We Want Flair…
6. Arn begins the formal proceedings by addressing each Horsemen one by one. He starts with the man who shall not be named, which we skip. He then addresses Mongo McMichael, calling him a stubborn man who in time, with Arn's help, will be as remembered in the ring as he was in the NFL! (…and HAHAHAHA!!) Dean Malenko is next and Arn credits him with being the man who while Arn was moaning and talking the last year, was out fighting the fights for the Horsemen. But alas this all pales in comparison to We Want Flair, We Want Flair…
7. The most poignant part of this segment is Arn stating "Be careful what you wish for. We don't wear white hats and we're not nice guys!" He says he can't be responsible for what The Horsemen do. And then, the moment… Arn accuses himself of having a touch of Amnesia and forgetting the fourth Horsemen, RIC FLAIR!!!
8. Ric Flair Theme Song – Also Sprach Zarathustra – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tONxTs5CXg8
Can you feel it? The tingles going down my spine then and now are not for words. Flair comes out after a few seconds to a pop that must be heard to be believed. It really was a harkening back to the glory days of Jim Crockett's NWA and the original Horsemen. The way they just absolutely blew the roof off the building in their heyday. He stops, stares at his legions of fans, tears in his eyes and throws up the four fingers. It was official now.
9. Hugs all around for each Horsemen darn near brings tears to my eyes at 32 years old. This was my childhood being relevant again. This was a moment not to be undermined by anyone, including Eric Bischoff. Whatever happened from here on out was just gravy, this was a moment that could never be taken from us, or from me. Ric thanks the fans and the fans thank him right back. Ric goes off on an unbelievable tirade on Eric Bischoff, blaming him for everything including ruining Arn Anderson's legacy with the Curt Hennig heel turn and telling him to disband The Horsemen, that they were dead. Well, to quote Ric himself, "They are ALIVE and WELL and that is because this is REAL!!"
10. Bischoff, never one to stay away from the spotlight, saunters down to the ring to attempt to ruin this moment. Oh, but Flair had his number on this night. The minute Eric comes close to ringside, Flair tells him like it is, including telling him that he is an over bearing asshole and to "Fire me, I'm already fired!!! Fire me, I'm already fired!!!"
Part 1 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1Z2BQW-7iQ
Part 2 – Currently Unavailable Online – Pick up a copy of The Four Horsemen here : http://www.amazon.com/Ric-Flair-The-Four-Horsemen/dp/B000LC3III/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1341283967&sr=8-4&keywords=the+four+horsemen
The next couple months would prove very unfruitful for The Horsemen. Yes, Flair won over Bischoff at Starrcade, but that was about the only REAL victory that The Horsemen received over Bischoff's treasured (and treading water) NWO. Mongo McMichael, as the story goes, would step into a strip club early in 1999 and never walk out to a ring again. Flair himself would get into a ridiculously contrived feud with Roddy Piper over the fake Presidency of WCW. The man who shall not be named and Dean Malenko would be branded "Vanilla Midgets" by Hulk Hogan and would leave for the greener pastures of Vince McMahon a year later.
And that, as they say, was that. One of, if not the greatest, moment in wrestling history was squandered. Two and a half years later and WCW would be out of business, sold to the Vince McMahon himself and the opportunities lost would be discussed in columns such as this for years to come.

Dr. Charles Carabasi
Your Marlton Chiropractor
Been going to Dr. C for 4 years... he is the best. I even let him treat my baby... now she is 4 years old and almost never sick. He is honest and Nancy at the front desk is very skilled and professional as well. My husband and I really trust Dr. C and he has helped us maintain great health while educating on how to treat ourselves better as well.
-Vinessa M
I am really glad I decided to see Dr. C. He resolved my back problems and gave me exercises that work! He is so knowledgeable and has given me great diet advice. I lost 18 pounds. I never have to wait at his office either. I sent my wife to see him and he is helping her with her headaches.
-David F
I am so glad that my friend referred me to Dr. Charles (Chas) Carabasi. When I first walked through the doors of the Carabasi Chiropractic Center, I had neck pain, headaches, bad menstual cramps, low back pain and I was tired all the time. Six weeks later, I feel like a new person! Not only did Dr. Carabasi address my spine he helped me with my diet. ALL my syptoms are gone. Thank you so much, Dr. Chas, for doing what you do!!!
-Kathy L
You guys are a life saver! Never felt better.
-Crystal Leigh
Carabasi Chiropractic care basically saved me...I have a herniated disk in my back and at one point it was bulging, it was the most painful thing I ever experienced in my life. Carabasi helped me move again, now I am mostly pain free. I still have to be careful how I treat my back and body, but with the help of the staff at Carabasi I can move again.
-Leslie Jones
Over the past several years I had been experiencing lower back pain which I believe developed from golfing. I tried relieving the problem by using a heating pad, but the problem persisted. The lower back pain was interfering with work and any physical activity, besides the fact it was very painful at times. I was referred to Dr. Carabasi's office oddly enough by my golf instructor. After several treatments with Dr. Carabasi my lower back pain subsided plus some added bonus such as minimal to no headaches and over all better feeling throughout my body. I must say that I feel much healthier and happier.

Plot Plan Review & Yard Inspections
The Public Works Department, in coordination with the Community Development Department, established the yard inspection program for all finished residential yards in the City of Wentzville. This program was instituted to address problems with respect to infrastructure and drainage through yards and is associated with the lot deposit requirements found in Chapter 410 of the Municipal Code. Prior to construction of the home/building, the Engineering Division is involved in review of the plot plans for the Building Division. After construction of the home/building is complete, the Engineering Division in coordination with the Community Development Department's final occupancy inspection will conduct a final yard inspection of the public improvements associated with the individual lot.
To assist builders in understanding the minimum criteria for acceptable plot plans and yard inspections, the Engineering Division has provided below the current checklists for these items used in review by our staff. Also, to assist surveyors performing as-built surveys for the Emergency Relief System, the Engineering Division has provided below the Elevation As-Built Certificate form in addition to examples for providing the minimum required information.
Important: All Plot Plans must utilize the City of Wentzville Notes provided below.
Builder Resources:

ODOT to hold Public Involvement Meeting on Proposed Interchange Improvements
New Philadelphia, Ohio
(Tuesday, October 18, 2011)
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 11 is proposing improvements to the Interstate 70/U.S. Route 40/State Route 331 Interchange in Richland Township, Belmont County, Ohio.
The current interchange and surrounding roadways have numerous safety and functional deficiencies associated with the existing interchange configuration. Over the past year, ODOT has met with project stakeholders and members of the public to review conceptual design alternatives developed for improvements to the interchange. The feedback solicited from the public was used by the Project Management Team to refine the concepts into feasible designs and to identify a Preferred Alternative.
ODOT will host a public involvement meeting to discuss the selected Preferred Alternative design for the I-70/US-40/SR-331 Interchange. The meeting will be conducted in an open house format with an open microphone question and answer session. The public is invited to view exhibits of the proposed Preferred Alternative design and ask the Project Management Team questions relevant to the project. Persons attending the meeting who require special assistance or accommodations should contact the ODOT representative below prior to November 1
, so arrangements can be made to accommodate any special need requirements.
Anyone interested in this project is encouraged to attend. ODOT continues to seek comments from the public about the social, environmental, and economic impacts of this proposed project. Environmental impacts include those involving archeological, architectural and ecological resources, hazardous materials and the general location of the project. ODOT will consider questions and comments received from the public as they move forward into detailed design of the Preferred Alternative.
Comment forms will be available for the public to complete at the meeting, or they can be mailed at a later time to ODOT District 11, ATTN: Christopher J. Varcolla, 2201 Reiser Avenue SE, New Philadelphia, Ohio 44663. In order to proceed with the project in a timely manner, all comments must be submitted by November 16, 2011.
WHEN: Tuesday, November 1, 2011 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
5:50 p.m. – Brief introduction by Project Management Team
6:00 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. – Open microphone question and answer period

Ziiiro Celeste Watch Hands-On/
In search for a stand-out, cool looking wrist watch? Ziiiro's line of watches is anything but conventional. Ziiiro is a fairly new company, and compared to the well known giants, Ziiiro's unique design concept for its watches is like a small ecstasy pill with a smiley face on it. So if manly thrusting watches like Tissot's PRS 516 don't tickle your fancy, let Ziiiro sort you out with one of its eye-grabbing watches. The Celeste is the company's latest analog watch with a watch face so uncommon, it's a mind-bender to interpret at first glance. But first, you will have to part with $205 from your pile of cash in order to get yourself one. After that, you might like to know that the Celeste is made entirely out of stainless steel, so it's pretty hefty for its fragile-looking size.Read More

Pax is an European import from healthy bloodlines with excellent hips and elbows and fully trained in off-leash obedience, and protection and would be ideal for a family, perhaps with children, that wish for a beautiful and obedient K9 for long-term companionship and protection.

Premiership action returns to Manchester after a four-week absence this Monday, June 25 and Belle Vue are focused on bolstering their top four position with a big performance against Poole.
And coming off the back of consecutive away wins at both Wolverhampton and Rye House, the Rentruck Aces are filled with confidence ahead of their return to the National Speedway Stadium.
Their triumph against the Rockets boosted them to second place in the Premiership table but with as little as seven points separating first to fourth, there's no room for another "blip" at home.
Jason Garrity has proved a safe investment for club so far, playing a key role in last week's victories, and his performance in the British Final proved he's quite capable around the NSS.
The Pirates bring a couple of new faces along for the ride this time, with Nicolai Klindt and Richie Worrall having joined their ranks since the departure of both Peter Kildemand and James Shanes.
Team boss Mark Lemon said: "It's been too long since we've seen the boys in action at home so there is that feel-good factor amongst the team to be racing in front of their home crowd again.
"I was hugely impressed with the way the guys rode last week, in particular how Damian [Dróżdż] approached two tracks he's never seen before and scored points that proved vital to our wins.
"It's a very happy camp at the moment and we intend to keep it that way. We're going to need that solidarity to be especially prevalent at home to ensure there are no more blips going forward.
"Poole have proved themselves to be tough opponents here already this season but they've made a couple of changes that could make the difference either way, so we need to be prepared."
The Rentruck Aces take on the Pirates this Monday, June 25 at Manchester's National Speedway Stadium before heading to Poole's Wimborne Road home once again on Wednesday, July 4.
Tickets for the home fixture are now available online at www.bellevueaces.co and at the stadium box office on race night.

Lindsey and Roy's day took the cake for the most fun we've had at a wedding - ever. After an eight hour work day, we found that we actually wanted to stay at the reception! These guys set the bar for how to have a great time on your big day! Everyone was super relaxed and up for anything. We cannot thank our bridal parties enough for their cooperation during photo time! September in Alabama is still pretty dang hot and humid, but all Lindsey and Roy's attendants were awesome to work with. Not to mention, they were hilarious to watch hit the dance floor all night.
One of our favorite things about weddings is seeing how pieces of the couple's relationship is incorporated into the day. So it was extra cool that Lindsey and Roy's venue was literally next door to Oasis, the place where they met five and a half years before their big day! We always get a little mushy and girly when we watch how our couples act around each other, especially during their first looks.

[box]"The Imaginary Invalid"
By Molière, directed by Jordan Best, Courtyard Studio until May 14.
Reviewed by Helen Musa[/box]
TONY Turner holds centre stage as the hypochondriac Argan in this very modern production of a great French classic.
In a quiet, restrained performance, he shows us both the humanity and the absurdity in Molière's last stage role. You can believe in him as a loving father, but at the same time a deluded man.
Revolving around Argan is a world of commedia dell'arte and slapstick and the assortment of pompous doctors, infatuated lovers and scheming connivers work their way through a jungle of rhyming couplets.
On the clever side is Erin Pugh in her best performance ever as Toinette the eccentric servant. But comic actor Jim Adamik, who has long made pompous stupidity his trademark, comes close to stealing the whole show in his brief appearance as Monsieur Purgon, the physician. It all makes for a screamingly funny night.
An endearing feature of this production, played out on Cate Clelland's wacky set and in detailed costumes by Emma Sekuless, is the sheer joy of the actors, especially Kiki Skountzos and Riley Bell as the young lovers Angélique and Cléante.
In a remarkable show of strength, director Jordan Best has stepped on to the stage as Argan's hypocritical second wife Béline, replacing at short notice Helen Brajkovic, whose untimely death has shocked the Canberra theatre community and who will be remembered as one of this city's finest serious performers.

Together they have been charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods, both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human control, but the elect—special humans marked by the divine—are turning against one another in bloody fashion.
Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation headed by Lucian Darling, Justin's old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA's dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work, even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity.
Meanwhile, Mae—grudgingly posing as Justin's concubine—has a secret mission of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods in Arcadia, a reporter's connection with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission—and with it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret.

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love – a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.
True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus perÂformers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.

It's not a lie if you can't remember the truth.
Seventeen-year-old Flora Banks has no short-term memory. Her mind resets itself several times a day, and has since the age of ten, when the tumor that was removed from Flora's brain took with it her ability to make new memories. That is, until she kisses Drake, her best friend's boyfriend, the night before he leaves town. Miraculously, this one memory breaks through Flora's fractured mind, and sticks. Flora is convinced that Drake is responsible for restoring her memory and making her whole again. So when an encouraging email from Drake suggests she meet him on the other side of the world, Flora knows with certainty that this is the first step toward reclaiming her life.
With little more than the words "be brave" inked into her skin, and written reminders of who she is and why her memory is so limited, Flora sets off on an impossible journey to Svalbard, Norway—the land of the midnight sun—determined to find Drake. But from the moment she arrives in the Arctic, nothing is quite as it seems, and Flora must "be brave" if she is ever to learn the truth about herself, and to make it safely home.

Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he's been emailing, will be compromised.
With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon's junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated.

But deep down, Annie is still mourning the terrible loss that tore a hole through the perfect existence she'd once taken for granted—and hiding away is safer than remembering what used to be. Until she meets the eccentric Polly Leonard.
Bright, bubbly, intrusive Polly is everything Annie doesn't want in a friend. But Polly is determined to finally wake Annie up to life. Because if recent events have taught Polly anything, it's that your time is too short to waste a single day—which is why she wants Annie to join her on a mission…
One hundred days. One hundred new ways to be happy. Annie's convinced it's impossible, but so is saying no to Polly. And on an unforgettable journey that will force her to open herself to new experiences—and perhaps even new love with the unlikeliest of men—Annie will slowly begin to realize that maybe, just maybe, there's still joy to be found in the world. But then it becomes clear that Polly's about to need her new friend more than ever…and Annie will have to decide once and for all whether letting others in is a risk worth taking.

She strutted inside with her head held high with grace, not pretentiousness. With legs that reached her neck, and an hourglass frame perfect for gripping, she got me hard instantly.
And those green eyes got the rest of my body hard too.
Mistaking me for the man who cheated on her friend, she walked up to me, those green eyes burning with fire, and she slapped me so hard my skin bubbled.
And damn, it felt good.
She slapped me two more times, using her petite size to gain momentum as her palm crushed into my skin.
I never wanted it to end.
I'd never met a woman who made pain feel so good. I'd never met a woman as strong as myself. I'd never met a woman I wanted to dominate more.
I'd never met a woman like her.

Juliet Young always writes letters to her mother, a world-traveling photojournalist. Even after her mother's death, she leaves letters at her grave. It's the only way Juliet can cope.
Declan Murphy isn't the sort of guy you want to cross. In the midst of his court-ordered community service at the local cemetery, he's trying to escape the demons of his past.
When Declan reads a haunting letter left beside a grave, he can't resist writing back. Soon, he's opening up to a perfect stranger, and their connection is immediate. But neither Declan nor Juliet knows that they're not actually strangers. When life at school interferes with their secret life of letters, sparks will fly as Juliet and Declan discover truths that might tear them apart.
