iMPACT! Taping Results from Orlando, FL for the next Two Weeks
On Tuesday, February 28, 2006 at 11:48 PM EST Alan J. Wojcik of alanwojcik.com sent in the following report:
These are the detailed notes from the last TNA Impact episodes leading to Destination X on Sunday March 12th. The in-studio audience hasn't been seeing the big vignettes involving Alex Shelley and his video voyeurism of Sting and I don't expect today to be different. I am not happy with that but I understand the need to make the tapings shorter. Above the ring is the ominous Ultimate X rigging. The front row of the Pit had several unfamiliar looking people, wonder if something is afoot. Dave Penzer was once again the emcee and this time he was allowed in the ring but only when the show wasn't taping. There were very few patrons sitting by the Spanish announce team which is a shame because people should come out and watch a wrestling product that isn't prescribed to insomniacs. Penzer reminded the fans that Spike TV tapings will air on Thursday's beginning April 13th. During the both tapings no PPV matches were announced to the fans but I am guessing on two at the end of this report.
TNA iMPACT! Tapings (Air Date: March 4):
(1) Jeff Jarrett (w/Jackie Gayda dressed like a Fembot), NWA World Tag Team champions America's Most Wanted ("Tennessee Cowboy" James Storm and "Wildcat" Chris Harris w/Gail Kim) and Abyss (w/ Father James Mitchell) defeated Shark Boy, "Iceman" Buck Quartermaine, Cassidy Riley and "the Big Wiggle" Norman Smiley in what basically was one huge brawl around ringside. The match ended when Jarrett hit Smiley with the Stroke after Smiley hit Jarrett with the Big Wiggle. Alex Shelley hit the ring carrying a video tape; he was followed by all of Team Canada who celebrated like Shelley won the World Series. Shelley was trying to convince Young that Sting wasn't in the building.
Jeremy Borash spoke to Matt Bentley and Traci Brooks about his attack on Lance Hoyt on Xplosion. Their interview time was interrupted by Jarrett and company who told us they were having another viewing party. While Gayda and Jarrett argued Eric Young ran off with the video tape.
(2) Lance Hoyt (happy birthday Lance) defeated Kenny King.
King jumped Hoyt at the bell and had brief control, which ended when Hoyt got to his feet. Hoyt decimated King until he hit a one handed choke slam to end the match.
As the match in the ring ended Konnan came to Mike Tenay and Dow West saying the LAX were going to show the Armstrong's how things went down in their world. Homicide and Machete dragged out BG James and beat him up until Kip James came out to make the save on his "brother."
(3) Team Canada members Petey Williams, Eric Young (who was hiding the tape in his ring tights) and "Canadian Enforcer" Bobby Roode (w/Scott D'amore) defeated Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal and "the Future" Chris Sabin.
I think Young told his Team Canada partners he didn't want to wrestle but he did with the tape in his shorts. Dutt, Sabin and Lethal had control of the match until Lethal got too close to the Team Canada side of the ring. Williams stood on Lethal's groin and sang O' Canada while Young refused to tag in. Jeff Jarrett came out and confronted Young about the tape. Young told Jarrett he didn't have the tape yet everyone in the building saw it in his tights. By the way Dutt and Sabin tagged in and dominated Team Canada. Lethal hit a tope and landed on Young which sent the tape right to Jarrett's feet. In the ring Dutt had Williams rolled up for a pin when Roode sent him to the ropes and D'amore who hit Dutt in the throat with the Canadian flagpole. This allowed Williams to hit the Canadian Destroyer to win the match. Eric Young is the funniest person in TNA.
Jeremy Borash tried to speak to NWA World Heavyweight champion "Captain Charisma" Christian Cage about his first title defense against "Alpha Male" Monty Brown but Abyss and James Mitchell cut him off. Mitchell claimed Cage leagfrogged over Abyss and demanded a title shot or he would unleash Doomsday on the champion. Just as Cage was about to answer Monty Brown attacked and the two men fought around backstage and eventually to the top of an entryway. Brown POUNCED Cage off the rampway and Cage hit the guardrails below. "The War Machine" Rhino and Larry Zbyszko came out to check on Cage as Brown stood over him holding the championship belt in hand. Could this be foreshadowing to the end of their match at Destination X, who knows.
(4) NWA World X Division champion Samoa Joe and "Prince of Punk" Shannon Moore defeated "Phenomenal" AJ Styles and "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels.
Moore and Styles began the match with Styles controlling the offense. Joe came in but Styles and Daniels worked to send him to the outside. All four men tagged in and out but no one got total control until Styles went to the ropes and Joe tried to punt him to the Spanish announce table. Joe and Moore had some decent chemistry and took the fight to Styles until Joe held Styles and Moore charged with a forearm and Styles moved, sending Moore into Joe. Daniels tagged in and all craziness ensued as Joe and Styles brawled to the floor. Joe dropped Styles jaw first on the ring apron. Daniels hit an STO and went for Angel's Wings but Joe made a blind tag and hit Daniels with what looked like a running clothesline to win the match. Styles grabbed the X Division title and climbed on the Ultimate X, strapping the title belt to the X and sending it over the ring.
TNA iMPACT! Tapings (Air Date: March 11):
(1) NWA World Tag Team champions America's Most Wanted ("Tennessee Cowboy" James Storm and "Wildcat" Chris Harris w/Gail Kim) defeated The Naturals (Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas).
Surprisingly this match actually began in the ring with Stevens and Storm. Somehow Storm ended up in the Tree of Woe and the Naturals ended up sending Harris into Storm, which created an awkward position that will make children ask their parents why the fans were chanting the number sixty-nine. Once things settled down AMW took over on the oft-injured neck of Chase Stevens. Douglas was helpless until Harris got cocky and Stevens hit an inverted atomic knee drop. This allowed Douglas to tag in and an all out brawl ensuing in the ring. The Naturals had the match won when Team Canada's Bobby Roode and Eric Young hit the ring and Roode hit Douglas with the Northern Exposure. Harris handcuffed Stevens to the ringside barricade. With Douglas all alone AMW hit the Death Sentence to retain the titles.
Jeremy Borash spoke to Larry Zbyszko as he was reading a copy of Pro Wrestling Illustrated that had Samoa Joe on the cover. Larry told the audience Monty Brown and Christian Cage were barred from the building after last week's brawl. He was interrupted by Scott D'amore who told Larry he was sick of cleaning up Jarrett's messes and now Zbyszko's. Borash asked Larry what that last statement meant but Larry didn't answer.
(2) "The Future" Chris Sabin defeated Alex Shelley (w/ the trusty video camera) and Sonjay Dutt.
Like every X division match, this was fast paced and hard hitting. Dutt and Sabin's partnership went out the window early on and it was everyone for themselves. Larry Zbyszko stood on top of a entry way watching this match. I am not going to try and keep up with the moves in this one, watch the TV show. Towards the end things slowed down a little bit. Shelley missed hitting Sabin with a five star frog splash; Dutt missed hitting Shelley with a Hindu Press. All three hit the other with enziguri's and dropkicks. Dutt hit Shelley with a standing shooting star press for two. Shelley hit a tombstone piledriver but Sabin broke up the pin. Sabin hit Shelley with two kicks and an enziguri before winning the match with the Cradle Shock.
(3) "War Machine" Rhino, Team 3D and Ron "the Truth" Killings defeated "The Prince of Punk" Shannon Moore, Matt Bentley (w/Traci Brooks) and Diamonds in the Rough members "Primetime" Elix Skipper and David Young (w/Simon Diamond.)
Team 3D, Rhino and Killings were in control until Devon got too close to the other side of town and his crotch met the ringpost. Bentley, Moore and the Diamonds did their best to beat down Devon but couldn't get the pin. Devon survived and tagged out to Killings who cleaned house. All eight men ended up in the ring. Team 3D and Killings were going to do the Wassup to Bentley's package when Brooks made the save trying to protect her man's package. This didn't work and Devon hit her with the Wassup. For some reason Devon had some issues removing himself from Brooks' crotch. The match ended when Killings hit the Scissor Kick on Young. After the match AMW, Jeff Jarrett and Abyss stood on the rampway. Ray told Devon something smelled fishy. Rhino mentioned something about GORING a whore. Next thing you knew they were chasing $o Cal Val around the building. Thank goodness the cameras stopped rolling.
The following matches were taped to air on TNA Xplosion which airs in syndication and on Sunshine Network:
(1) The Naturals (Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas) and Ron "the Truth" Killings defeated Team Canada members A1, Petey Williams and "the Canadian Enforcer" Bobby Roode when Killings hit Williams with the Scissor Kick.
(2) Diamonds in the Rough members "Primetime" Elix Skipper and David Young and Simon Diamond defeated Jay Lethal, Shark Boy and Lance Hoyt defeated when Young pinned Shark Boy.
Announced matches for Destination X, Sunday March 12th:
***NWA World Heavyweight champion "Captain Charisma" Christian Cage vs. "Alpha Male" Monty Brown
***In the Ultimate X match, NWA World X Division champion Samoa Joe vs. "Phenomenal" AJ Styles and "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels
*** Jeff Jarrett, NWA World Tag Team champions America's Most Wanted ("Tennessee Cowboy" James Storm and "Wildcat" Chris Harris) and Abyss (w/James Mitchell) vs. Team 3D, "War Machine" Rhino and Ron "the Truth" Killings
***The James Gang (Kip James, BG James and "Bullet" Bob Armstrong) vs. Latin American Exchange (Konnan, Machete and "The Notorious 187" Homicide)
***I am guessing Lance Hoyt vs. Matt Bentley (w/Traci Brooks) and The Naturals vs. Team Canada are matches from the activities in the show.

Good vibe Saturday
I'm in a really good mood because, of course, it's Saturday; one of my favourite days of the week. You can get up early or late, lay in bed and smile at the ceiling. It's also when you get to stay in your pajamas all day, eat cereal for lunch and read a good book.
What do I do on a Saturday? Well, since I work a regular 9-5 job Monday to Friday, I take my time on a Saturday morning unless, I feel like getting in an early work out at the gym. I'll talk about that in a moment. I like to watch sunlight creep in through my bedroom windows. Yes, I'm guilty of grabbing my phone and checking messages, emails and social media. It just seems that once I'm awake, I'm doing something. Once I've decided my quiet moment has been sufficiently spent, I get up to join the real world. I get breaksfast, clean up if, I didn't the night before and do laundry before turning to my lappy (laptop), to do some work on my blog.
I like to check in on my regular haunts like, Bossedup.org, LeanIn.org and Youtube. Judging by the sites, you must know I'm all about empowerment of women. I may turn to pen and paper to smash out a review or a speech. I am a Toastamster, I do speeches.
Aside from my blog, stay busy in the gym. I'm totally into health and fitness. Currently, I can bicep curl 40lbs and leg press 220 lbs. No, I don't look like a body builder. Acutally, I'm 4'10.5" and 117 lbs. I just believe a strong mind and strong body contributes to a strong person.
So, now that you know a little bit about my saturday, tell me about yours. What is your Saturday vibe? You can comment below or tweet me @TheseWordBlog or leave a comment on my facebook page: These Words: A Blog.

Claudio Starzak was born in Patagonia, Argentina. A self-taught artist and jeweler, he was introduced to metalsmithing at a young age. With a modest set of tools, Claudio spent years traveling South and Central America, making jewelry all the while, and being influenced by ancient cultures and sacred sites. Crossing paths with master jewelers, healers and shamans Claudio's skills and style evolved.
Claudio feels the use of jewelry has untraceable origins and many facets. What stands out the most for him is the ability for a personal piece of jewelry to carry deep value within. This value, in an original piece given as a gift or passed on in a family can act as a powerful intimate tool for deep soul connection.
Today after over 23 years of working with precious metals and natural gems and crystals, Claudio's mission as an artist remains to inspire love, joy and harmony by bringing more beauty into this world. He now resides in Portland, Oregon where he keeps a studio and gallery open to the public.

Buying a car is a major financial decision, and being well-informed will help you make the right choice. There are many pros and cons to buying either a new or used car, and examining these factors will give you the information you need to make the right decision.
Buying a New Car
Little To No Maintenance
There are many advantages of buying a new car. First, you can be sure of the vehicle's history. You know that it has not had maintenance issues or been involved in a wreck. New cars often come with a manufacturer's warranty that will cover any major issues to the car within a certain period of time. Some manufacturers offer warranties of up to 10 years. A new car is reliable, needs little to no maintenance and can give you a huge bang for your buck.
High Initial Investment
Buying a new car, however, does come with several drawbacks. First, a new car will depreciate quickly within the first two years. This means that the moment you drive the car off the lot, its value will have dropped significantly. New cars are significantly more expensive than used cars, so you'll be spending a lot more.
Long-term Expense
If you take out a six-year loan on a car, you will still pay the same price for the car when it is five years old as you did when it was brand new. Many new car owners find themselves "upside down" in their loans for many years, meaning they owe more than the car is worth.
Buying a Used Car
Economical And Low Up-Front Costs
A used car can be a great economical option for those that want to save money on their transportation options. Since depreciation on new cars happens most during the first two years, a late-model used car will give you some of the same advantages of a brand new car without the hefty price tag. In many cases, used cars may still be covered under the original warranty.
High Maintenance Costs
There are some major cons to buying a used car. The biggest one is that older cars often suffer from maintenance problems. These cars may require you to invest in costly repairs that eat up your budget. You may also incur additional transportation expenses while your car is being repaired.
Poor Or Unavailable History
With used cars, you can never be quite sure of the car's history. The car may have been salvaged or subject to flooding. If you don't have accurate records, you will never know. This is especially true if you are not buying from a dealer. Going to a dealership can greatly improve your chances of getting a used car with a good history.
While there are benefits and disadvantages of buying new and used cars, consider your budget and your family's needs before making a decision.

Pianist and conductor Vladimir Feltsman is one of the most versatile and constantly interesting musicians of our time. His vast repertoire encompasses music from the Baroque to 21st-century composers. He has appeared with all the major American orchestras and on the most prestigious musical stages and festivals worldwide.
In the 2012-13 season Mr. Feltsman appeared in the U.S. with the Seattle and Alabama Symphonies and in Chicago with Music of the Baroque. Abroad, he was soloist with the Orquesta de Sinfonica de Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He gave recitals in numerous cities including New York and Palm Beach, and in the summer of 2013, continued his long association with the Ravinia and Aspen Festivals, where he appeared in recital. Mr. Feltsman returned to Moscow where he performed Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2 with Mikhail Pletnev; and to St. Petersburg, where he conducted the St. Petersburg Philharmonic and performed a recital.
In the 2013-14 season, Mr. Feltsman returned to Singapore where he appeared as soloist in the Grieg Concerto with the Singapore Symphony, and performed Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Lahti Orchestra in Finland. In the U.S. Feltsman gave numerous recitals including in the cities of Chicago, Portland, OR, and Kansas City. He made his 20th consecutive appearance in Aspen Music Festival.
Highlights of Vladimir Feltsman's 2014-15 season include concerto appearances with the Russian State Symphony on tour in the U.S., as well as various recitals including those in Palm Beach, at Duke University, and at the Aspen Music Festival.
Mr. Feltsman expressed his lifelong devotion to the music of J.S. Bach in a cycle of concerts, which presented the major clavier works of the composer and spanned four consecutive seasons (1992-1996) at the 92nd Street Y in New York. His more recent project, Masterpieces of the Russian Underground, unfolded a panorama of Russian contemporary music through an unprecedented survey of piano and chamber works by fourteen different composers from Shostakovich to the present day and was presented by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in January 2003 with great success. Mr. Feltsman served as Artistic Director for this project as well as performing in most of the pieces presented during the three concert cycle. The programs included a number of world and North American premieres and were also presented in Portland, Oregon and in Tucson, Arizona at the University of Arizona. In the fall of 2006, Mr. Feltsman performed all of the Mozart Piano Sonatas in New York at the Mannes School of Music and NYU's Tisch Center presented by New School on a specially built replica of the Walter fortepiano.
Born in Moscow in 1952, Mr. Feltsman debuted with the Moscow Philharmonic at age 11. In 1969, he entered the Moscow Tchaikovsky State Conservatory of Music to study piano under the guidance of Professor Jacob Flier. He also studied conducting at both the Moscow and Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) Conservatories. In 1971, Mr. Feltsman won the Grand Prix at the Marguerite Long International Piano Competition in Paris; extensive touring throughout the former Soviet Union, Europe and Japan followed.
In 1979, because of his growing discontent with the restrictions on artistic freedom under the Soviet regime, Mr. Feltsman signaled his intention to emigrate by applying for an exit visa. In response, he was immediately banned from performing in public and his recordings were suppressed. After eight years of virtual artistic exile, he was finally granted permission to leave the Soviet Union. Upon his arrival in the United States in 1987, Mr. Feltsman was warmly greeted at the White House, where he performed his first recital in North America. That same year, his debut at Carnegie Hall established him as a major pianist on the American and international scene.
A dedicated educator of young musicians, Mr. Feltsman holds the Distinguished Chair of Professor of Piano at the State University of New York, New Paltz, and is a member of the piano faculty at the Mannes College of Music in New York City. He is the founder and Artistic Director of the International Festival-Institute PianoSummer at New Paltz, a three-week-long, intensive training program for advanced piano students that attracts major young talents from all over the world.
Mr. Feltsman's extensive discography has been released on Sony Classical, Musical Heritage and Nimbus labels, includes more than 40 CDs and is expanding. He is in the process of recording all of the Schubert Sonatas and the works by Schumann for Nimbus. His most recent releases on that label are Beethoven's "Diabelli Variations" and a Schnittke piano sonata, written for him. Feltsman's discography includes eight albums of clavier works of J.S. Bach; recordings of Beethoven's last five piano sonatas, and of the Moonlight, Pathetique and Appasionata Sonatas; solo piano works of Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Messiaen and Silvestrov; as well as concerti by Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev. His most recent recording with orchestra is a release of Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3 with the Russian National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mikhail Pletnev from a November 1992 performance at the Bolshoi Hall of Moscow Conservatory, alongside a recording of Rachmaninoff's Elegy and Six Preludes made in November 2010. Since 2011 the Nimbus label has released twenty albums by Mr. Feltsman of works by Bach, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Scriabin, Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Haydn, Schnittke and Bach.
Mr. Feltsman is an American citizen. He lives with his wife in upstate New York.
Vladimir Feltsman last performed for La Jolla Music Society during SummerFest 2010

Guest Contributor: Diana Soller
Let's get straight to the point: self-determination of peoples. It is a very laudable theoretical concept. All peoples should have the right to choose the nation they wish to belong to, especially when they have a distinctive culture and a different language, as well as political and economic viability to build an independent state. And we, Europeans, ex-colonialists, field with guilt for our ancestors' acts, tend to favor the rebels, independently of the justice and the consequences of their cause.
Historical Rationales for Independence
But there is also the other side of the story: in his most recent book, Michael Walzer uses three case studies of the past, India, Algeria and Israel, whose legitimate claims of independence where much more consubstantiated, to prove that "liberation movements" do not represent the expression of the majority will (people are much more concerned in surviving and moving ahead with their lives in troubled times), but the position of a separatist elite who builds a narrative and does everything they can to convince the population that their intentions are fairer and their view of history is much more accurate than the one the status quo power has been trying to impose.
In practice the paths towards independence are sinuous and trapped. They are played in a dangerous arena where almost everything is admissible for the cause of independence. It is an opportunistic and dirty game where the two sides are waiting for a weakness of the rival. It generates violence. In more extreme cases, it generates civil war. In the most extreme cases, it generated ethnic cleansing. At the regional level it generates instability. Very often it is contagious to sleeping separatisms that start to reevaluate their possibilities. Of course, we think, nothing of this kind is going to happen in Catalonia. After all, it is the 21st century, and this is Europe. But let me remind you of two things: on the one hand, the two sides of the conflict, Barcelona, and Madrid, have already reached extremes that we never thought possible in a democratic context. On the other hand, the last few years have demonstrated that nationalisms, of the emotional, ideological, centrist, and extremist kinds are not a relic of the 19th century. They are alive and kicking. Remember that history does not repeat itself but it rimes. Nationalisms are back, now in a context, different from the past. And we, in Europe, are ill prepared to deal with them.
The Catalan Case
How did we get here? The Catalonian separatism has a long lineage. The national day of the region, September 11, is related to the events of 1714, when Barcelona lost its autonomy to Spain in that War of Succession. In the 20th century, the mores and the language were trampled violently by the bloody Civil War and then by Franco's regime, trying with particular roughness, to dissolve the Catalonian culture. The collective memory of these events has been passed along generations, as the testimonies from Barcelona, since the mock referendum of October 1, published in the international press, have been claiming. The nationalist feeling was partially placated (ironically) by the 1978
Constitution, that inscribed the right to regional autonomies in the context of the "indissociable unity of the Spanish nation". But, albeit Catalonia's acceptance of the founding text of Spanish democracy, the relationship between Madrid and Barcelona was always ambiguous. The Generalitat has always tried to find ways to further autonomy, while the central government has always been keen on protecting its powers. But for considerable period, the regional government was in the hands of moderates. First, a right-wing coalition, the CiU was ahead of it (1978-2003) and then it was replaced by its left-wing equivalent, a coalition led by the PSC, the Catalonian branch of the PSOE (2002-2010). The radical separatists were relayed to the margins, namely ERC, a leftist republican party that tried an independence coup a couple of years before the civil war and the several anarcho-unionist groups, also very active before the war.
However, minority ideas tend to fall asleep but never die. And the Catalonian separatism woke up due to three main factors: first, the economic crisis of 2008, that generated a feeling of injustice as Barcelona profits (around 20 percent of the Spanish GDP) were redistributed to the poorer provinces; second, the judicial process moved by Mariano Rajoy's Popular Party, between 2006 and 2010, that resulted in the removal by the Supreme Court of the status of "nation" (ambiguous) that had been approved in a legal local referendum. The SC alleged reasons of unconstitutionality and the PP claimed reasons of balance between unitarists and regionalists; and third, the political change in the composition of the regional government, that started to be ruled by the coalition "Together for Yes" (to the independence) that mixes, since 2015, the CDC of Carles Puigdemont, a right liberal party that became separatist as a result of the policies of the central government; the ERC, the republican independentist party of the 1930's; and the CUP a left wing separatist movement composed by several small radical groups. Together they have qualified majority at the Generalitat, even though their only commonality is the independence of the autonomous region.
The Volatility of Nationalist Separatism
This change went relatively unnoticed, but aligns with the similar rise/growth of diverse populist movements across Europe (old nationalisms, new times). But this particular one has a different element: the nationalist separatism is a much more sensitive issue, more emotional, and capable of mobilizing passions. Which usually is a Molotov cocktail in politics.
The events that have been succeeding since October 1st are the culmination of all these tendencies: painful collective memories politicized by a coalition reaching the regional parliament thanks to protest votes against Madrid's policies; all this in combination with a disastrous management of the Catalonian issue by the central government (including the King Felipe VI). Plus, Barcelona took advantage of the weakness of the chief of central government, Mariano Rajoy, who needed two general elections and almost a year to form a minority government.
This was the context of last Sunday's referendum in Catalonia. Madrid had the law on its side. It forbidden the public consultation for reasons of unconstitutionality, but the Generalitat was more astute: it disobeyed, and dragged to disobedience more than two million citizens. Nothing was legal in the referendum: plastic ballot boxes, aleatory vote sites, on-line electoral lists of doubtful accurateness, and a very low affluence (around 42 percent) that indicates, according to specialists, that the unitarians simply did not bother to vote, considering the consultation bogus. These arguments would have been more than enough for Rajoy, with the support of Felipe VI, to declare the nullity of the act and move on. As it already happened in the past.
But Madrid lost its mind. So, it sent 12,000 civilian guards to preclude the voting. In this counter-information war, we know that the national police used force against the population (although we do not know how often), we saw mossos d'esquadra (the Catalonian regional police) crying and, according to hospital records, there were almost 900 injured (even though we ignore the extensiveness of the wounds). What remains from October 1st is the image of the Catalonian people enduring the police intervention against them in the name of independence. TV cameras from around the world captured enough images of disproportional violence to leave Madrid's international image in the mud and to revolt thousands of Catalans that so far had been happy with the status quo. Rajoy, they say, is an "independentists' maker". And in fact, he is. In 24 hours he did more for the independence cause than all separatists together. In democracy, when one has the law and at least part of the legitimacy on their side the use of force against the population (who possibly believed in the goodness of the idea of independence) has two consequences: one loses the morality battle and the support of the population. The independentists won a double victory: they opened a larger gap between then and Spain (and Europe), very difficult to get over and they won the sympathy of the "international public opinion". If this concept, popularized by Jürgen Habermas during the demonstrations against the Iraq war, is vague and imprecise, its practical effect is well known.
What next?
And now what? There are three possible scenarios. For now, the most likely is a growing tension between the parts, as Carles Puigdemont is likely to declare independence unilaterally this week and Mariano Rajoy has threatened to use all means at his disposal to stop him. It is difficult to predict the endgame of escalation. In politics there are few things as dangerous as separatist nationalism for reasons described above but too important to forget: internal violence, regional instability, and domino effect. Europe is full of separatist movements that might see the Catalan moment as an opportunity put forward their claims for self-determination and autonomy.
The second scenario is that Madrid and Barcelona overcome their differences and start to negotiate (as the population ask them to do this weekend in very large demonstrations). However, the possibilities are scarce and the conflict already reached a high point and depending on Puigdemont's call a potential point of no-return.
Which take us to the third scenario: bringing in an external referee, a mediator. The successive crisis of the European Union almost made us forget that the main goal of its creation was to avoid that war would return to the continent. And it does not matter how critical each of us might be, the truth is this goal has been fulfilled (except for the Balkans that were Europe but not EU). We reached a critical point where Brussels should refashion its peace-making credentials. Pretending Catalonia is none of the EU competency is the sort of decision that did not pay off in several situations in the past. Let's hope that Europe is willing to mediate, if called upon, this internal crisis, because peace in the continent must be one of the main values that unites member-states. And lastly, if something goes really wrong in Catalonia, a Pandora Box will be opened challenging the integrity of member states. The Catalan crisis could have greater unforeseen and unwanted consequences on the integrity of the EU than a bad Brexit.

Have an awesome day! From my heart ❤ to yours <3!

Have an awesome day! From my heart ❤ to yours <3!
Maxine 🙂
As I'm getting ready to wind down my day, I wanted to write a brief post about counting our blessings. My day started out on a pretty good foot. Later as I was on my way to pick up Mama from dialysis, I was listening to the radio and heard 97.5's Radio Host Carol Blackmon say something that I had no idea would echo in my head again before the day was over. What she said was simple yet so profound: "Count your blessings, not your problems." Being the sentimental person that I am, I was deeply touched by her words.
As the afternoon progressed, things started going downhill. Series after series of problems started occurring, and as a result, my stress level went from 0 to 10. Anyway, to make a long story short, when I finally got back home around nine o'clock tonight, as I uttered a blessing to thank God for the food I was about to eat, Carol's words popped into my head. I briefly went over with God some of the things that had gone wrong throughout the afternoon when I suddenly realized that the end result could have turned out a whole lot worse than it had. After all, my family and I are still alive, we have everything we need to sustain us in life, and there are so many other people in the world who are suffering far worse than I.
I know now that God had me hear Carol's words for a reason. He knew that something was going to happen that would have me so consumed with anxiety that I would need to remember to count my blessings, not my problems. He always gives us exactly what we need when we need it. No, He doesn't always act when and how we want Him to–but as my mama taught her children, "He may not come when you want Him, but He's always right on time.
And no, I'm still not feeling on top of the world, but no longer do I feel as though I'm down under it. Tomorrow's another day, and hopefully, a better day. But as I've learned, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I have enough to deal with already without worrying about what tomorrow and the next day(s) will bring. So instead of worrying about all the problems that might occur, with God's help, I'll handle each problem as it arises. (Matthew 6:34)
Good night, and as always, this is from my heart to yours! 🙂

Moss Lane SchoolGodalming, Surrey View project details
Project Description
Dating back to 1843 there has been a school in place at Moss Lane School and the project to replace the windows was a great success for George Barnsdale.
Replacement of windows to retain traditional look but with high performance and low long term maintenance was the aim, with upper sashes to be remotely operated.
The windows in this traditional Edwardian Primary School had reached the end of their useful life. The original look of the windows needed to be retained but double glazing and remote operated upper sashes were required. Existing proven designs were incorporated into each element achieving the design criteria exactly. 23 full height windows, 7 dormers and 14 casement windows were replaced. These will give years of high performance with low maintenance.
This project was registered on the Sikkens Sentinel plus programme.

Customer – Park Lane Primary School
Product Details – wooden casement windows and sliding sash windows

Greg McCain
Osorto's Refusal
Today's hearing began with the possibility of another suspension hanging over it. Police Commissioner Henry Osorto and another witness, known to the court as Protected Witness 2 (PW2), have refused to appear to testify, stating that Trujillo was too unsafe for them. Their rationale being that since their family was killed in Trujillo there are people still plotting to kill them. Nevermind that Osorto is now a Commissioner in the National Police and has the resources to order police from everywhere in the country, there is not enough security in Trujillo for him.
The Defense pointed out that the security concerns weren't credible plus there isn't any proof that Osorto has received threats. In addition, the Defence pointed out that the law stipulates that no one is entitled to preferential treatment including members of the police or military.
Each time that the court has requested their appearence the response from the Prosecutor has changed with Osorto's excuses increasing in intensity. At the beginning of the trial his reason was that he was bothered by the fact that there was a retrial and that he couldn't give a specific date for when he would appear. The hearings were suspended to accomadate his schedule and when reconvened he was now fearful for his safety. When the court didn't capitulate to these blatant manipulations there were suddenly threats against him and the other witness.
The judges weren't buying it. They decided that there would not be another suspension of the trial nor a change of venue. The case would proceed as scheduled.
The morning session concluded after less than an hour and with the decision that after lunch the Defence could present their witnesses.
When the hearing reconvened, three witnesses testified for the Defense collaborating Chabelo's statements that he got to the scene after the deaths had occurred. The first witness was the photographer who had taken the photo that Henry Osorto and the Prosecutor's office had manufactured the case around. His testimony corroborated Chabelo's statements that he was there to retrieve the body of a friend that had been killed by shots fired from the Osorto house. When the witness arrived he saw Chabelo on a bicycle in a crowd of people about 100 km from the Osorto house. The house was already in flames. He snapped the photo of Chabelo just as the dead friend's body was being moved to a car to return to the community.
The other two witnesses corroborated Chabelo's story of being in the community in the late afternoon and went to the scene of the incident when the wife of the friend who had died was pleading for him to help bring the friend home.
This concluded the Defense's evidence. The judges asked the Prosecutor if there had been any changes regarding Osorto and PW2 appearing. Suddenly, Trujillo wasn't the dangerous place that it had been just this morning as the Prosecutor stated that Osorto and PW2 would appear tomorrow. We'll see.
Whether they do or not, tomorrow should be the last day of the trial as both sides have presented their cases short the testimonies of the no shows. The court has stated that they will not entertain any more manipulations. We shall see.

The Misleading Mindset
We told him what we knew about alcoholism. He was interested and conceded that he had some of the symptoms, but he was a long way from admitting that he could do nothing about it himself. He was positive that this humiliating experience, plus the knowledge he had acquired, would keep him sober the rest of his life. Self-knowledge would fix it. (Alcoholics Anonymous pgs. 39– 40)
This passage is an excellent description of the mindset that misleads many people in recovery. There is this crazy idea that the memory of the problems that using has caused in the past and attaining a whole lot of information about using, recovery and myself will keep me sober.
There are some people who use heavily who can think themselves sober and in reality, there are some people who are pretty messed up from using that don't need to learn, think or any of that; this (small) group of addicts/alcoholics just decides to stop and never uses again. The problem is that many of us in recovery (more like most of us) are not in either of those categories and need to come to terms with that before we can even consider ourselves having started recovery.
Thinking and learning in and of themselves are not enough for most of us to remain abstinent (although they are important parts of the process).
Look at the conclusion to the story we started with:
"As soon as I regained my ability to think, I went carefully over that evening in Washington. Not only had I been off guard, I had made no fight whatever against the first drink. This time I had not thought of the consequences at all. I had commenced to drink as carelessly as though the cocktails were ginger ale. I now remembered what my alcoholic friends had told me, how they prophesied that if I had an alcoholic mind, the time and place would come – I would drink again. They had said that though I did raise a defense, it would one day give way before some trivial reason for having a drink. Well, just that did happen and more, for what I had learned of alcoholism did not occur to me at all. I knew from that moment that I had an alcoholic mind. I saw that will power and self-knowledge would not help in those strange mental blank spots. I had never been able to understand people who said that a problem had them hopelessly defeated. I knew then. It was a crushing blow. (Alcoholics Anonymous pgs. 41– 42)
There are moments when your body and some parts of your mind will have such a desire to use that the parts of your mind that you would like to use to force yourself to stop will not be strong enough to overpower the desire. One desire within your self will be trying to resist a desire that is in your body and mind and that is often also driven by your social and spiritual health (or lack thereof). Recovery has to be approached from all four of these areas to have any hope or to even be considered recovery. The authors of the Alcoholics Anonymous book (the authors of the Twelve Steps) knew this to be true:
We have concluded to publish an anonymous volume setting forth the problem as we see it. We shall bring to the task our combined experience and knowledge. This should suggest a useful program for anyone concerned with a drinking problem.
Of necessity there will have to be discussion of matters medical, psychiatric, social, and religious. We are aware that these matters are, from their very nature, controversial. (Alcoholics Anonymous pg. 19)
There is hope for those of us who are at the most desperate levels of alcoholism/addiction. This hope relies on us not getting sucked into the flawed idea that "information is what will keep me sober." INFORMATION WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU SOBER!!! Information is just one of the tools that is supposed to help get you to what will keep you sober. Look at the information that the early A.A.'s gave to the man in the story we started with when he relapsed:
"Then they outlined the spiritual answer and program of action which a hundred of them had followed successfully. Though I had been only a nominal churchman, their proposals were not, intellectually, hard to swallow. But the program of action, though entirely sensible, was pretty drastic. It meant I would have to throw several lifelong conceptions out of the window. That was not easy. But the moment I made up my mind to go through with the process, I had the curious feeling that my alcoholic condition was relieved, as in fact it proved to be.
"Quite as important was the discovery that spiritual principles would solve all my problems. I have since been brought into a way of living infinitely more satisfying and, I hope, more useful than the life I lived before. My old manner of life was by no means a bad one, but I would not exchange its best moments for the worst I have now. I would not go back to it even if I could." (Alcoholics Anonymous pgs. 42– 43)
The solution is described here as "a way of living" that is more satisfying than anything before. The hope of recovery rests in finding a completely new way of living. A new basis of life that will result in changes in the way you think and why you have those thoughts, changes in what feelings you have and why, all of this leading to changes in what you do. In other words: RECOVERY IS ABOUT ENDING UP BEING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON THAN WHO YOU WERE WHEN YOU STARTED. IF YOU ARE NOT CHANGED, YOU ARE THE SAME AND WILL GET THE SAME RUSULTS.
If you do not plan on being changed completely, then you do not plan on getting recovery. If you do not aim towards a new way of living that is infinitely more satisfying than any way of living you have had before you have decided to stay with the same way of living and have decided to continue to live the life of an alcoholic/addict.
I beg you to move beyond knowledge to the desperate desire to be a completely different person, because that is where your hope lies.
Stay sober my friends…
Wade H.

Facilitating Exports of Livestock is Aim of USDA Rule
The Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has issued a final rule that, effective Feb. 19, will make the following regulatory changes to provide more flexibility in inspecting and handling livestock intended for export.
- Most of the requirements for export health certifications, tests and treatments will be removed; instead, exporters will be directed to follow the requirements of the importing country regarding such processes and procedures.
- Only those export health certification, testing and treatment requirements necessary to have assurances regarding the health and welfare of livestock exported from the U.S. will be retained.
- Pre-export inspection of livestock may occur at facilities other than an export inspection facility associated with the port of embarkation under certain circumstances.
- Specific standards for export inspection facilities and ocean vessels will be replaced with performance standards.
Additionally, if APHIS knows that an importing country requires an export health certificate for any animal other than livestock, including pets, or for any hatching eggs or animal germplasm, this rule will require that the animal, hatching eggs or animal germplasm have such a certificate to be eligible for export from the United States.

I just read the most uplifting, optimistic, and helpful little piece of advice this morning. It's from Susan J. Noonan, M.D. She identifies herself as a physician, a patient, and an author, and I was curious as to why she had the courage to include patient as one of her descriptors. You can find the article at https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/view-the-mist/201703/adjust-our-sails. And you can, as I intend to do, read the entire book, Managing Your Depression: What You Can Do to Feel Better. Read More

I hope DC's Young Animal imprint is to my liking, because the projects published under that (mystifying) banner certainly sound like they're up my alley. I got the first trades of Doom Patrol and Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye to find out.
#The TARDIS lands in the film... The 7th Doctor and Ace land in Kansas and fall in with the Everetts, playing an important part in resettling their status quo before the corrupt law gets to them. Ace is great as a stagecoach robber.

Re: Atomic Blonde, I highly recommend that you read Coldest City, the graphic novel it's based on. I was kind of shocked when I found out Atomic Blonde was based on Coldest City, because on a surface glance they seem nothing alike. It's a fascinating experiment in styles, because while both have fundamentally the same plot, Johnston & Hart's comic is the John le Carré' version, the movie is the Jason Bourne version.

Definitely. While I didn't read the comic, I did research it and saw the art and notable differences in plot. This is what I like in an adaptation. It reinterprets the material in a way that makes a good film without taking anything away from the original work. Both can be enjoyed on their own terms without making the other redundant.

I liked Atomic Blonde too; it seems like it falls somewhere in between James Bond and George Smiley. And you're right about the fight scenes being realistic. They reminded me of the fight scenes in the Netflix Daredevil show; after two straight minutes of punching people, your arms are gonna feel like they're made of cement.

I have yet to see an episode of "iZombie" where Rose McIver couldn't completely become the personality the script required of her. She is an incredible actress. Probably my favorite of her acting jobs happens in season 3, where she assumes the traits of a certain sort of dad: the kind who seems annoyingly friendly when you're a teenager, but once you grow up you realize he is an unstoppable engine of helpfulness.
Ravi, though ... I know he's a fan favorite, but I wish he'd dial it down a bit. I have a problem with characters who are supposed to be "charming" because they try to be witty and funny at the wrong times. Tone that down and I'm good with Ravi.

Payment Methods
We expect most registration fees to be paid by credit card through the on-line registration form. Some people worry about using a credit card on line. From what we have read, this worry is generally not well founded; credit card processing on line is generally safer than in-person processing. Internet systems generally protect credit-card information much more carefully than in hand-to-hand transactions. While there have been online security breaches, most credit-card fraud arises in other ways. In addition, most credit cards include complete coverage against fraudulent charges.
If, for some reason, you cannot use or do not want to use a credit card, payments may be made by check. However, please observe the note below.
Payment by Check
If you plan to pay by check, please do not submit the registration form until you are ready to mail the check to the Conference treasurer. When you indicate on the form that you are paying by check, enter the check number in the box provided.
If we do not receive the check within one week of the registration, we may cancel the registration or the optional items ordered. To take advantage of special pricing, the check must be received by the treasurer prior to the cut-off date.
Checks should be made payable to "IAJGS Orlando 2017" and sent to the Conference treasurer at:
Jeanne Burkland
Conference Treasurer
1659 Palmwood Drive
Clearwater, FL 33756
Spouse/Domestic Partner Definition
The reduced "Spouse/Domestic Partner" registration fee applies only for spouses and domestic partners who reside in the same household. It does not apply for roommates, siblings, parents, children, or other relatives of the primary registrant, even if they live in the same household. The Conference reserves the right to verify the status of anyone registering in this category.
Cancellation/Refund Policy
Refunds will depend on when we receive a cancellation notice.

- A 50% refund of all fees paid less a $50 administrative fee if a cancellation request is received by 11:59 p.m. EDT, June 23, 2017.

10 Food Cravings to Reward Yourself With in 2016
You deserve to have a taste of all these favorites.
GIF via gurupop.com
(SPOT.ph) The New Year is upon us, which only means one thing: more opportunities for tawanan and chibugan! So which food cravings would you like to reward yourself with when 2016 hits?
Unfortunately, canker sore (that's singaw in English) can always spring out of nowhere. And once it does, nothing can stop it from ruining your family reunions, barkada gatherings, and office parties. Worse, the pain will hinder you from enjoying these awesome dishes.
1. Spaghetti
The New Year won't be as good without that sweet spaghetti.
2. Fruits
Tables will once again be laden with 12 different fruits as a good luck charm for the New Year.
3. Bibingka and Puto Bumbong
Remember your first simbang gabi, when you had these for breakfast? These two are best when they're hot and freshly cooked.
4. Caldereta
January is bound to be chilly, and helping yourself with a serving of kaldereta, while basking on its hint of spiciness, is bound to warm you up.
5. Barbecue
Who doesn't love the irresistible smell of pork grilled over charcoal, and the tangy taste of the barbecue marinade, made with the combination of soy sauce and calamansi?
6. Relleno
You're bound to see fish or chicken relleno on your Noche Buena table, since it takes a lot of effort just to prepare this dish.
7. Queso de Bola
Nothing kicks off your year perfectly than a serving of keso de bola paired with a glass of wine and a couple of cold cuts.
8. Paella
Just like relleno, paella is hard to prepare and cook, and is only reserved for the most special occasions.
9. Ham
Admit it—you won't mind having ham for breakfast the whole week, especially if you're served with this thickly-glazed version.
10. Lechon
Go ahead and permit yourself to enjoy this heavenly dish, especially its crunchy skin.
The bottom line is you deserve to have a taste of all these favorites. So meron bang gamot sa singaw? Fortunately, we know just the thing.
A dab of Miconazole (Daktarin Oral Gel) to the affected area can heal singaw (due to fungal infection) in as fast as two days without the pain of applying it, so you don't have to endure the pain of singaw and enjoy the holidays.
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

King Willem-Alexander has invited 150 people to join him at the dinner for his 50th birthday. There is just one catch if you want to be in for a chance of an invite, your birthday should also be on the 27th, and it has to be a milestone (or a so-called "Crown"-year, which can be divided by five) birthday.
The formal dinner is set to take place the day after King's Day, on 28 April. If you qualify, you can visit www.WA50.nl to win one of the seats.
Via the official Facebook, King Willem-Alexander, dressed in formal attire, invites his guests. He says, "Are you also celebrating a milestone birthday on the 27th? Then one of these seats could be yours on the 28th. My wife and I are looking forward to it!"
After the dinner at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam, the palace can be visited by for free for 50 hours straight. It will close its doors again on Sunday night at midnight. The Royal Palace in Amsterdam is regularly open for visitors, although an entrance fee is required and it can close at a moment's notice.
The King and Queen are set to spend King's Day in Tilburg, in the south of the Netherlands, this year. Although the holiday is celebrated nationwide, the Royal couple visit one or more cities each year. King's Day is a bank holiday in the Netherlands. It used to fall on 30 April to coincide with Queen Juliana's birthday, even after she had been succeeded by her daughter, Queen (now Princess) Beatrix because her birthday was in January, where it would be too cold to celebrate.
The Dutch Constitution states that if King's Day falls on a Sunday, it should be celebrated the day before. This was the case in 2014, for King Willem-Alexander first celebration as King. In 2009, when it was still Queen's Day the Royal Family's parade was attacked by a man who ploughed his car through the crowds, killing eight people and injuring ten. The car eventually crashed into a monument, and the driver later died in hospital. The Royal Family remained unharmed.

The Orlando based jazz-funk-R&B fusion ensemble returns to the Bamboo!
The group originated the Conglomerate Performance Series, a recurring concert series, that served as the debut for the collective, and drew a definitive line in the metaphoric sand separating them from the pack.
The Conglomerate comprises musicians and producers who have created and contributed to works by LaRue Howard, Hananeel, Jazmin Ghent; performed with Tye Tribbett, Haley Reinhart (American Idol), The American Gospel Choir, Sisaundra Lewis (The Voice) and Disney ensembles.
The band moves as a cohesive unit of old souls performing original music or standards with vivid passion and pure organic leanings that harken back to a time past.

Samsung phone battery catches fire, injures man
South Korean fire officials say a man suffered burns after the battery from a Samsung smartphone caught fire in his trouser pocket.
Officials at Bupyeong Fire Station in Incheon city said Wednesday the lithium-ion battery was not in the phone when it caught fire. Such batteries are quick to charge but prone to overheating.
The man suffered second-degree burns and a one inch wound on his thigh from Saturday's incident. Officials declined to identify the man.
South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported the battery from the 2011 Galaxy Note exploded but fire officials couldn't confirm that. It may not be the first time a Samsung phone allegedly burned through trouser pockets. According to the newspaper, a boy suffered similar injuries last March.
Samsung did not immediately respond to CBS News' request for comment, but Chosun Ilbo says a spokesperson for the company told the newspaper: "Lithium-ion batteries can catch fire due to external pressure or sudden changes in temperature, so we're trying to understand what really happened.
Lithium-ion batteries are behind the worldwide grounding of Boeing 787s.

By devious byways on Facebook I found a former colleague – a good friend with a great sense of humour who probably colluded in this photo.
It could have been my class too, MJ!
That does bring back memories. Indeed I am pretty sure I know what class this is – the year is obvious. I may have been just one or two rooms away getting a similar group to grapple with pomo – probably with similar results!
So that's what a selective school looks like!
