My children were encouraged to pursue their talents and their "would-be wished-for but-not-quite-that-outstanding" talents. Work hard, be a team player, and don't worry if you aren't always the best. That works for a kid and was actually a lot of fun. But, it doesn't work so well if you are an NFL football star.
Enter into our discussion – Kirk Cousins, a professing Christian and quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings, who sadly as a team, are out of the playoffs for the Super Bowl. While the Vikings were near the top of their division, winning and losing games came in second to media interest in Kirk Cousins' stress level. Exhibited in a heated argument between Kirk Cousins and one of his teammates on the sidelines of a game, commentators discussed Cousins' stress on and off the field and wondered if his stress contributed to the Vikings losing the season.
What I wonder about is what caused Cousins' stress? I can only imagine the pressure to perform with millions of people watching, especially with a new contract of over $80 million he signed in the spring which set him up with a very long and challenging list of expectations, one being that the Vikings at least should have made the playoffs if not the Superbowl. With this on his shoulders, it seems to me stress was inevitable for Kirk Cousins.
Stress is an emotional and mental response to situations that we believe require more from us than what we have to give or ask us for resources we don't possess. And, when we think we do not have what it takes to handle life's circumstances, we feel stress. That is, in general, what Kirk is experiencing and stress is an experience we can all relate to.
Some Christians worry if feeling stressed is sinful. To put you, dear reader, at ease, stress in and of itself is not sin. That is not to say, our response to stress cannot be sinful nor that we don't make sinful choices that cause stress. But once stress rears its ugly head, we cannot deny its presence nor the requirement that we deal with it. So, here are my top 3 best pieces of advice in dealing with stress that if I run into Kirk Cousins, I will probably pass on to him.
- Accept reality. Life is what it is whether you or someone else is the cause. Take a deep breath, acknowledge what is going on in life and then you have put yourself in a position to pray your way through your options. Stop fighting the obvious and everyone around you.
- Avoid magical thinking. A bad habit to get into is rehearsing all the things that are wrong or painful. Going over and over the issues will not magically bring peace or help find an answer; worrying actually exacerbates the stress. Exercise the self-discipline needed to stop yourself from reviewing the stress again and again.
- Acknowledge God is for you and on your side. 365 times in the Bible, God tells us "do not fear." The reason He can command us to not be afraid is because no matter the stresses, He is with us. He is on our side. The King of the Kingdom takes care of His children. Remind yourself to whom you belong – you are His and He is for you!
Dear Reader, I imagine there is some part of your life in which you experience stress, even if you are not in the NFL. Perhaps you will find my 3 A's helpful. Give them a try and let me know. Life is stressful – accept that, avoid magical thinking and acknowledge who is FOR you.
Blessings to you and may your stress lead you to peace. Fondly, Elizabeth

text: So as the title states, I'm looking into a new career and lately been thinking of going back to school for a radiation therapy degree and made it a goal to do so if I don't find anything of interest in about 4 more months. Graduated from college a few years back with a 3.3 GPA from Curry College with a Political History degree and ever since, been in the automotive industry. Sold Saabs until Charles River went out of business then been in the service advisor field more or less ever since. Took a year off in the health field as a patient service rep for Harbor Medical to give that a shot but wasn't making enough money to stay in that position. Just getting tired of the long hours and would like a change of pace. Currently employed so money isn't a priority right now. Any help would be great and can forward my resume along if needed. With that said, what do you think could be out there for someone with my current job experience? Thanks for your help.

December 24, 2000 saw this poem and a photo in the old newspaper style GRIT. I received a check for my submission, but it is still my poem–my property–so with our second 4-inch snowfall of the season in north-central PA–pretty much within the space of a week, here's a glimpse of days when the whole winter was a kid's wonderland. This sled has decorated the kitchen entry for more years than the poem has existed, but I offer full disclosure here even tho it makes me sound a tad daffy. When my late husband, at my request, hauled the sled down from storage in the garage rafters, I actually asked him if it was the sled my sister Barb and I had shared as kids. "No, it's my old sled," is what he said. Ha! I should have known when I saw how very precisely and neatly the rope had been wrapped for storing. So like my Frank. The Flyer style had fooled me into hoping it could have been something saved from my own youth. It did, however, inspire the poem:
Mariam Davis Pineno
I fear to ride or slide for spills,
but well remember when
we'd glide on Flyers down slick hills
and drag them up again.
I mostly sat, a scaredy-cat,
for fear I'd smash my face.
But others belly-flopped (kersplat!)
and won most every race.
In half an hour with dripping nose,
while sobbing I fought the pain
of frostbit fingers and tingly toes
that forced me home again.
Big sister walked me to the door.
Hers was a heart of gold.
I never understood, for sure,
how she withstood such cold.
Our old Heatrola's coal and wood
fired off an awesome heat.
I pulled as close as ever I could
with my bunny-slippered feet.
Then, just as soon as clothes were dry
I'd beg to go again.
And Mom, 'tho patient, wondered why?
Well, I felt fine by then.
Now if I rode that sled today,
no telling where I'd land.
But fair to say, I'd rue the day
but for a helping hand.

Why use Disaster Adjusting?
Disaster Adjusting has a unique combination of expert knowledge and experience ranging from hands-on project management, reconstruction, contents/personal property inventory and restoration with years of claims negotiation, settlements and policy interpretation due to fire, storm, flood, vandalism and other perils.
Our mission is to provide you with the best assistance possible in handling your insurance claim or dispute with the commitment to our clients that they achieve the maximum settlement of their claim while reducing the stress and amount of time it takes to settle their loss.
Why not work with my insurance company's adjuster?
Staff and independent adjusters work for the insurance companies and have their company's best interest in mind first.
They are employed and paid by that company to settle the loss with as minimal amount of expense as possible.
Why use a public adjuster?
A public adjuster works only for the property owner. The fee is offset by the increased amount of recovery and time loss of handling the claim properly.
Historically public adjusters collect more money and collect their fee when you get paid.
What does a public adjuster do?
A licensed public adjuster will inventory the structure and personal property of your loss, present your case to the insurance company, and will make sure you receive the best settlement in a prompt manner. A good public adjuster has experience in the industry, understands your policy coverage's, and the insurance company's responsibilities.
They are experts in reading the fine print and understanding your policy in order to negotiate a better settlement with the insurance companies. Public adjusters are required to pass certification examinations, attain a surety bond, and obtain a license from that state.
Why not work with a preferred or recommended contractor?
If recommended by your insurance company they already have a financial and/or contractual relationship with them. When push comes to shove how can you actually trust that they are on your side or giving you the best advice possible in handling your claim. We recommend you choose your own contractor.
If they are only a contractor than they simply do not have the authority to speak, negotiate, or settle the loss on your behalf with your best interest in mind.

Again we didn't do what we have planned to do.
The reservoir loop along the catchment is around 7k so we thought may be we explore the catchment road on the left then come back for the loop. 7k isn't normally enough for weekend run.
It was a misty morning with high relative humidity, the reservoir looked like this
Flower and tree lined catchment road
View could be a lot nicer if the sun was at work
Originally we planned to go back from here, 900 steps down this staircase takes you to public road in Tsuen Wan
We decided to run to the end along that direction, we turned back from here
On the way back to the car, a photo-stop for this
If we ran the reservoir loop we would have passed through this dam
A dam much older than me
We'll certainly return for another run. I should also have a dry T-shirt and brought water.

So we've had some time to let the expansion sink in. I really love it. Blizzard has gone above and beyond with regards to making your character feel like a hero and a major part of the machinations that are moving this war with the Lich King. They've also kept their typical humor and light heartedness that makes the game a lot of fun. Read on for some impressions of the zones, the story, and the leveling process. There will be spoilers for those of you who have not seen some of the content yet, so be aware.
Salthier and Lal started their journey in Northrend at Valliance Keep in the Borean Tundra. My main reason for this was because Salthier is somewhat a part of the politics in Stormwind and it made sense for him to take the boat from there. Lal came along because she wasn't too concerned where to go, and we did want to level together. The questing started in earnest as we began fighting back undead, right outside the front walls of the first city. One of Lal's first objectives was to start leveling her professions. She was particularly happy with the ability to gather more cloth than others thanks to being a tailor and getting a special skill. Salthier started learning new enchanting and alchemy recipes, but the levelign of the professions is going somewhat slowly.
We finished out the Tundra quests over the weekend. I really liked the quests on the farm, where you rally all of the farmers to take up weapons and fight the scourge. It's one of those "feel like you're making a difference" moments. We did all of the D.E.H.T.A. (Druids for the Ethical and Humane Treatment of Animals) quests. It was obviously meant in fun, but I can't help but feel a little upset about it, being a druid in the game. The Cenarion Expedition members of the DEHTA are a bunch of bloodthirsty hate mongering animal lovers. Granted they were after some pretty bad dudes who were trapping baby mammoths and transporting animal parts. But at the same time, I had never thought of Nesingwary as a bloodthirsty animal parts trafficer. More of just an old dwarf who like the thrill of the hunt.(Or perhaps the thrill of making other people hunt for him...)
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the quests involving the Blue Dragonflight in Coldarra, and how again you feel like a major player in the Nexus war. And the way they are intigrating the Death Knight lore is pretty cool as well, as they do in the area called Death's Hand. It only gets better as you move on to Dragonblight.
Lore explodes all over the place in this next zone. You've got the Alliance and Bolvar fighting the Scourge on one front, the dragon aspects fighting their own war, and you even get to witness past events through a scrying orb with Arthas. It's a rush. One thing Lal and I have noticed are the shear amount of quests there are to do. We pick up several from one area, and while going to complete them, find another small hub. Then just when we think we've completed all the quests in an area, we get a new chain that sends us to a new place with quests along the way. Sometimes you have to be a bit patient and realize that all of the quests are helping you advance, and some of the rewards are really nice. Salthier is continually changing his gear, and Lal has replaced quite a few of her Tier 4 and badge items already. We're currently 74 and on one of the last chians in the Dragonblight that takes us through Wyrmrest Temple. It will culminate in the Wrathgate Cinematic which I haven't watched and know minimal details about. I can't wait to see it.
As for dungeons, we have done all of them at our level, starting in Utgarde Keep, moving to The Nexus, then Azjol-Nerub, and just last night we did Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom. Each one has been a lot of fun, and somehow seems to top the previous one. Utgarde was huge, with a lot of new lore and exciting imagery that made it seem more epic than just a regular 5 person dungeon. And the exit from the Keep where you jump down into the water was a blast. The Nexus had some really cool boss fights, and the story line with the red dragon is sad, but still epic. Azjol-Nerub was a very quick three boss instance with hardly any trash, but the boss fights were intense. I do wish that Anu'burak had a little more presence in the game though. I seem to recall he had a bigger role in Warcraft III. The Old Kingdom was fascinating. Anoter visual achievement for dungeons. And the last boss fight in there is quite different from anything I've ever done before. A lot of people say it's the best boss fight they've ever done. There are several screen shots below from The Old Kingdom.
Elionene has taken some time off and is sitting in the Howling Fjord still. I'll be able to spend more time on her after Thanksgiving, hopefully having Salthier at 80 by then. Then I'll have two level 80 raiding toons. I haven't yet played through the Death Knight Experience, but that will be one of my goals for the coming weeks as well, and I might even do up a little story for my knight, to try and differentiate him from all of the other stories of DK redemption out there.
Here are some shots of our recent activities. Enjoy!
Elionene met Mr. Lich King himself while searching the spirit realm for information on the history of the Vry-kul.
Salthier and Lal learned a little more about what really happened when Arthas took up the cursed blade, Frostmourne.
We ascend the Nexus to try and lure Malygos out. Not all went according to plan however.
One of the famed turtle ferries that take people between starter zones.
Lal showed off her cooking abilities by making a feast that the whole party could enjoy. Not only did we get to sit around and have a good meal, we got a well fed buff to go with it. +60 AP, +35 Spell Power, and +30 STA. Mmm Mmm Good.
One of the areas under The Old Kingdom.
Another shot of the Old Kingdom, one of the more visually stunning dungeons. They're all unique and interesting in their own right.

Hi dolls, it is time for yet another self tan review! If you want to read some of my previous reviews you can check out this post or this one on how to look fab without make up.
Currently I'm on the look for an amazing face self tanner, I have noticed a lot of the higher end brand give you zits and blemishes (the shock horror when you want to look fab and tanned) and also I'm looking for a new spray tanning salon. If you know any good ones in Stockholm, please write you advice in a comment babes!
Anyway, time for the review starting with L'oréal Paris Sublime Silky Lotion Self Tanning (the right one).
Look and feel
A white lotion that is very light, like a very watery body lotion. The perfect consistent when it comes to self tan if you ask me (or gel is also amazing), because if the cream or lotion is too thick/heavy it is nearly impossible to get even and without any white spots appearing during the next day, especially around the knee and elbow-areas.
This lotion may seem like a piece of cake since I just described that the consistence is ideal, HOWEVER, it is highly sensitive to water. One little splash of water on the hands or arms or neck and you will have a white mark on that spot. You also need to really smooth out the product several times in every area to make sure you got it even. Also do not wash your hands after using the first application, use a antibacterial or cleaning wipe on the palm on your hand and let the product stay on the upper side of your hands. If you use it two days in a row then wash your hands on the second day after application because then the product will have developed more during the first day.
Drying time
It feels very sticky at first, like a body lotion that wont dry. So you need to make sure you rub this product in the skin and not just pat it in, otherwise it will take much longer to dry. it takes approx 30-60 mins to be dry after applying this product, it also depends on how dry your skin is. If your skin is quite dry it will absorb faster.
I always apply my self tan at night so I sleep in my less fancy PJ's (Not the type you wear with your BF hehe) that I don't care about if they get stained. I recommend that you all do the same, DO NOT apply self tan during the day and complain about the smell. Self tan will smell you can't avoid this, so do it in the evening and wash it off in the morning.
Smell during and after application
It smells quite strong but not the classic self tanning scent during application, but the self tanning smell actually appears the day after when you have let the product sit for about 7-10 hours. When the self tan is fully developed you deftinatly need a scented body wash to get rid of the smell!
Color Produced
This works kind of like a build up product, if you use it several times a week or 2-3 days in a row the color will get deeper. I actually think it looks the best after two applications. After just one it gives a very subtle tan, so those of you that hate that dark self tanning look can safely go ahead and try this one. However it is just on the border of orange, this product does not contain any green pigment. A lot of spray tanning products and for example bare minerals contain a green pigment so the cream or spray is pigmented and you can tell it got a green undertone. These products usually appear less orange but it is not always an guarantee for it.
This one I think is okay but it is not perfection. And FYI I'm still looking for that perfect, mind blowing self tan and I have not found it yet.
How long it lasts
One application lasts a few days and the fade is literally zero!! It's the deeper the color, the more it will fade and may fade in patches. So if you use this product two days in a row make sure you top it up after 3-4 days with another round if you want it to last longer. If you do this you can just keep going for weeks haha.
185 sek (approx 17£)
Buy again?
Yes I would get this tanner again! The price is great and the results are not to shabby. Tomorrow I will review the Elixir so stay tuned for that review later this week. Xx Louise

I am having issues with IFTTT. My event monitoring applet is working fine, but then it stops working suddenly. I have to re-make it again and sometimes it works again.
I know my events are getting published, because I see the console in Particle website… However sometimes IFTTT works some times it doesn't… And once it stops working, I have to always re do it again.
Any clues?

On Not Writing Music…
As the year winds its way to a no-doubt unsatisfactory conclusion, it dawned on me that 2018 has been my least productive year as a composer since I was in my mid-teens – all in all I have composed two works in 2018 at a grand total of fifteen minutes of music. And both of those pieces were finished in January during a brief and regrettably unrepeatable period of fecundity which resulted in four works in six weeks! Now, I have a good reason for not composing more, a 90,000 word book which will be in all good bookshops (who am I kidding…'select university libraries') in 2019 that has curtailed much compositional activity, but it got me thinking about how little I had actually missed the act of composing, how infrequently I had found myself at a piano with the intention of creating something new – surely that shouldn't be the case for someone who confesses to having the profession of composer? Should I be worried?
Well, the short answer is no. Whether I like it or not, I will get back on the horse and write some more music at some point soon – I have commitments to fulfil and obligations to honour – but the fact that there hasn't been a gaping hole in my creative life that composing usually fills has got me thinking about the perception of composers and artists and the role their work plays in their lives: I wonder if there is a disjunct between the two. The model of a composer is often portrayed as someone who has a pathological compulsion to create music, that music 'flows' from the individual like an open conduit that can't be stemmed and all other activities are merely diversions from the true calling of writing music. The likes of Britten, Mozart and Prokofiev comes to mind with this – if all the trappings of international success and achievements were taken from them, the music would still come, unstoppable and like a torrent. They are the true artists, the 'vessels' through which this music passes (to bastardise a quote from Stravinsky). But surely not every composer exhibits those traits? Surely there are those who struggle for every note and composing is a profession like any other: one to hide away from in the evenings and weekends and retire from at 65.
I'm being glib, of course, for many who retire from the majority of professions when the state instructs them to, they feel that they could go on for much longer with little impact to their performance. And in this case, composing is nothing like manual labour, where the body is exhausted by 65 and the thought of carrying on much after that would fill the worker with fear and nausea. But why is there this perception that composers 'love' what they do and wouldn't be able to exist if they weren't expressing this art in some fashion? Is it some sort of societal construct? Is it wrong to suggest that composing doesn't come easy and that taking a break from it is much easier than you would imagine? I was at an event recently where I was asked whether my dream would be to have enough money to retire to the country to write music – I replied that my dream was to retire to the country! This was greeted with some incredulity that a truly happy scenario for a composer would not involve composing, but then how strange is that? Would one suggest an architect would still design buildings if the professional and financial need wasn't there? Would a fisherman still fish? Maybe they would, but I'm not sure the question would be asked.
I haven't missed composing this year, mainly because I have filled my time creatively – whether writing the book or fulfilling my academic commitments – if I couldn't do anything creative I would flounder, that is for sure, but creating new music hasn't been on the cards. I think when I sit down to write again in the near future, it will undoubtedly be hard and I shall whinge about not having done more in 2018, but for the moment I shall enjoy the sensation of not composing…for actively not composing is just as important as actually composing. Or not.

Label Biography:
RX-101 is Erik Jong, from the Netherlands. During the early to mid '90s, Erik discovered techno music, Aphex Twin, and the more experimental output of labels like Warp, Skam, and Rephlex Records. At the same time, he began to buy analog synthesizers and drum machines, a setup concentrated on those Roland X0X techno classics - the Juno 106, TR-808, TB-303, and his favourite, the SH-101. For several years he experimented, not too seriously, and he wasn't very productive. But things changed in 1997: suddenly Erik was compelled by a strong desire to make music, and it became like an obsession…. For the next 2 years, Erik entered into a feverish burst of creativity, recording hundreds of tracks live from the machines, direct to cassette tape. He made a new track nearly every day, never spending more than 5 hours per track. What's shocking is not only the quantity of tracks Erik recorded from 1997-1999, but the sheer quality of the music he produced. The influence of Aphex Twin's early output looms large over RX-101's body of work, but unlike other Aphex copyists, RX-101 is not a pale imitation; like Richard James himself, RX-101 quickly developed into a master of this sound. It's a world of heavenly analog synth sounds, glorious, emotional melodies, and otherworldly electronic atmospheres.
Erik's goal was to produce music "without any pretension or specific purpose - just for fun and just making music with feeling without directly linking a deeper meaning." In fact, Erik hardly played his music for anyone, and didn't send out a single demo… instead, his desire to make music simply disappeared in 1999, and his entire recorded output sat in a box of cassette tapes in his parents' attic, almost forgotten, until now. A few years ago, Erik decided to dig out his box of tapes, digitize them, and post them to Soundcloud, which is where Suction Records discovered RX-101.

Description of coat of arms:
In a silver (= white) shield on top of a green basement is a silver (= white) and blue customs barrier, superimposing a blue pale wavy, which is flanked by two red, heraldic roses, [sometimes] seeded silver (= white).
The barrier, having the colours of the Wittelsbach kin, reminds on the existence of a tollgate in the village from the 17th until the 19th century. Duke Albrecht V built this station in 1560. The first houses were built in the 19th century and the station became a village. The pale is symbolizing the Gröbenbach, a local creek. The basement is symbolizing the location on the edge of Dachauer Moos, a fen. The roses are alluding to the character of a garden city. Gröbenzell became an independent municipality in 1952.
Source: "Unser Landkreis Fürstenfeldbruck", Bamberg 1993, pp. 182 f., 211 and municipal webpage
The coat of arms was approved on 20 June 1962 by Bavarian ministry of interior.

This could be considered a swear word in the SCA. Organisation would mean that
- Events would no longer run on SCA time
- 90% of people coming to your event would book early, instead in the two days before the cut-off date
- The specky garb for the next Royal event which you had designed months ago would be made, instead of leaving it until 3am the night before.
This always adds a bit of spice to an event. Deep down, disorganisation is the reason why we love the SCA so much. It gives us something to fix, someone to laugh at, someone to help, something to whinge about, something new to stress about! Huzzah! ;D

We are a Years 2 and 3 class at St Patrick's School in Auckland, NZ. We are in Room 1 and our teacher is Mrs Deeney.
Monday, 22 August 2011
I like chocolate because it tastes yummy. Chocolate comes in lots of flavours. My favourite kind of chocolate is chocolate ice-cream. I tasted it at my cousin's old house. It tasted of coffee. My cousin and I put it in the fridge. My cousin ate my one.
The Holidays in July
In the holidays I went to the snow. I went with my cousins. We had lots of stops for the toilet, taking pictures and having snacks too. It took forever to get to the snow. We had to go over 20 mountains.
On the way we went to a kiwifruit shop. It had a tour for us to go on. We had a ticket. The tour was about kiwifruit. When we had finished the tour we went back on the road to our hotel.
In the car I said to my Dad, "how many more mountains do we have to go over?" He said, "there are no more mountains." I said, "yah". I said "yah" because I was getting bored. My Mum had different flavoured tick-tacks in her bag. I had the yellow and green tick-tacks.
When we got to the hotel I went up the stairs. There were beds both upstairs and downstairs. There was a TV up the stairs and a TV down the stairs. There was also a big bed down the stairs.
We went to Countdown. We bought some groceries. When we were finished we went back to our hotel. At the hotel my sister and I put on our swimming togs. My Dad went to the back of the hotel to fill up the hot tub. Then we tried to use the bubbler but it didn't work. So we went to my cousin's hot tub and had a nice swim. I was very tired. After that my sister and I slept until the morning.

2 weeks in a row of not much happening thats considered FFS worthy. No FFS
Although another week another head injury or 2 for the baby. The first, a split lip, happened when he and his brother were fighting over a stupid broken plastic lawn mower. The second happened when he fell/slipped/could have been pushed off our little kids play gym. FFS
Lucky the kid has a skull made of steel. FFS
You know how bad luck runs in 3's well Wednesday it was a run of 4, all within an hour. FFS
First up the baby busted his head (its not that bad just a few scratches I am a drama queen). FFS
Second we all walked to the shops to get some stuff for dinner (the HOTH was home as he spent the week doing night work) came home and we had forgotten to shut the back door so the dogs had been in leaving muddy paw prints all over my FRESHLY washed and looking beautiful floors. FFS
Third thing I dropped a ceramic mixing bowl getting it out of the cupboard, it landed on my foot ouch, but more importantly making me vacuum again. FFS
Forth thing I went to get the eggs out and out of 8 eggs left in the carton 4 of them were broken. I have no idea how all the eggs got smashed. FFS
On the gtftb side of things 5 nights out of 7 this week there have been 2 children in bed before 8pm. NO FFS.
The HOTH and I even got to watch a DVD on Saturday night.

Cloudy skies and scattered showers expected across Southern California; temperatures expected to warm up by middle of the week
More rain is expected to hit Southern California as a new storm system make its way into the region, according to the National Weather Service.
Sunday is expected to be mostly cloudy across Southern California with a 40% chance of showers in some areas, forecasters said. Temperatures will range from the mid-50s to about 60 degrees.
Forecasters say scattered showers will continue into Monday morning for some parts of L.A. and Ventura counties such as the foothills. Tuesday will bring a slight chance of showers in the Ventura and Santa Barbara County mountains, but most of the region will see temperatures climb to the mid- to upper-60s.
The storm is expected to start drying out Wednesday and temperatures could hit the low 70s in Los Angeles by Thursday.
"We're expecting to get a bit of a break in the wet period," said Lisa Phillips, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
Much of Southern California has received above-average rainfall for this time of the year, and many areas have already recorded an average year's worth of rain.

Deep Blue Health Shark Cartilage. Processed from shark cartilage caught as "bi-catch" and processed in licenced New Zealand facilities. This shark cartilage is 100% pure freeze-vacuum dried. Shark cartilage contains high quality mucopolysaccharides and complex proteins. It may help to reduce joint pain, discomfort, and improve immune systems. New Zealand certified quality. 750mg. 100 Capsules
This is what Deep Blue have to tell us about their Shark Cartilage
What is Shark Cartilage?
Shark Cartilage, is cartilage tissue from a shark. Cartilage, a translucent elastic tissue, comprises mostly of the skeleton of embryonic and very young vertebrates. Through a process of calcification, it is transformed into bones which make up the fully developed skeletal system.
You're probably most familiar with cartilage as the "tough stuff" you don't want in your meat. You most likely refer to it as "gristle." Cartilage is apparent in the human body, as your nose and "Adam's apple."
Cartilage is also found between the segments of the spine and at the ends of long bones, where it acts as a shock absorber and a bearing surface to reduce the friction between moving parts. It is tough and elastic.
There are three types of cartilage
Fibro cartilage, the first type, is found between the backbones. It is the strongest of the three types.
The second, hyaline cartilage, is gristly elastic tissue that thinly covers the moving ends of bones, connects the ribs to the breastbone and supports the nose, windpipe and part of the voice box. This type of cartilage is likely to harden in elderly people.
Yellow cartilage, the third variety, is the most elastic. It is found in the external ear, Eustachian tube and throat.
One of the most interesting things about cartilage, however, is not its form but its importance to the body, that is first apparent in the embryo. In an early fetus, there are no bones it is cartilage that provides the framework on which the major bones of the body, excluding the skull take form. Eventually, fetal cartilage becomes impregnated with calcium salts so that hard, or "stony," bones become apparent.
The bones of children are relatively flexible because they contain more cartilage which is found at the tops of bones in zones called growth plates. (A theory has been postulated that newborn children are resistant to many diseases because of the large amount of cartilage present in their bodies during the early fetal and developmental stages.) Elderly people have much less soft tissue such as cartilage and a higher proportion of calcium salts, so their bones are more brittle.
A process similar to the one in which fetal cartilage develops into bone takes place throughout life whenever bones are broken. It is believed that when a bone breaks, a substance within the bone signals cells from the circulatory system to clean out the breakage site and summon undifferentiated cells to populate the site and multiply. These undifferentiated cells become chondrocytes, or cartilage cells, which produce an intertwining of cartilaginous fibers that fills the break and joins the bone fragments together. Finally, the cartilage is calcified and becomes new living bone.
Amazingly, cartilage is a tissue that performs its functions without nerves, blood vessels, or a lymphatic system. Nutrients are, therefore, not transported to cartilage via the blood or lymphatic fluid. It is this particular characteristic that seems to hold particular promise in battling cancer and other diseases that cause the formation of malignant tumors.
Deep Blue Shark Cartilage. Health Benefits can include:
Shark cartilage has been successfully used in both animals and humans to reduce pain from arthritis and improve mobility.
Shark cartilage contains one or more substances which inhibit the production of Angiogenin, a substance responsible for the formation of new blood vessels.
Cancer tumours cannot grow beyond about 2mm in size without the formation of new blood vessels to support new tumour growth.
Shark cartilage appears to be much more effective in preventing new blood vessel development than other cartilage sourced from mammals.
Cancers release chemical messages which cause blood vessels to grow. Interruption of this process inhibits tumour growth.
All shark cartilage is not the same! Processing techniques are critical to maintaining its therapeutic benefits. Handling of the raw material must avoid the destruction of the active principles of the cartilage.
Each gelatin Capsule contains: 750mg of 100% Shark Cartilage, caught as a "bi-catch" and processed in licenced New Zealand facilities. EnCapsulesulating agents. This product contains no artificial colouring, flavourings or preservatives.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1999
Vintage: 1999
The most accomplished expression of the House's style and the quintessence of its Champagne art, the Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs, whose first vintage dates back to 1952, is always vintaged and is composed entirely of white Chardonnay grapes from the prestigious Côte des Blancs villages (Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Vertus and Bergères-les-Vertus).
Only the 'cuvée' or first pressing, an absolute gauge of finesse, is used. Five percent of wines that make the blend are aged in new oak barrels. These factors are some of the most rigourous in Champagne and for this reason many winegrowers in the Côte des Blancs consider the Comtes de Champagne as the jewel in the region's crown.
Vintage 1999
The grape harvest began in sunshine and continued under persistent rain.The alcohol-acidity combination is very original and the wines of 1999 vintage are clear, pure and mature. The Chardonnays have the floral characteristics of great vintages and the Pinots Noirs, not only fine but also robust, release berry flavours.
The 1999 vintage could be compared to the 1982 or 1988 vintages. The year 1999 was notable for its higher than average annual temperatures.
The winter was rather mild and the following spring started off very warm and then became rainy. Thanks to favourable weather conditions, flowering began around mid-June. The exceptionally sunny weather at the end of August, which followed a hot, dry summer, provided the necessary conditions for a perfect ripening.
Tasting Notes
The colour is a pale straw yellow. The bubbles are exceptionally fine and abundant and form a delicate necklace of mousse.
The nose, very fine and ethereal, isreminiscent of a mixture of flinty aromas and toast, followed by fine and light essences of wood echoed by delicate notes of brioche and vanilla.
The first impression on the palate is fresh and smooth, followed by a refined mid-palate with dominant mellow, creamy, fruity flavours of pink grapefruit and white peach. The long, rich finish is balanced and harmonious.
Food Pairing
This celebratory and ceremonial wine is also a perfect accompaniment for first courses (sea-food and shellfish).
Combining delicacy and generous fruitiness with freshness and harmony, Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1999 shows all its long ageing potential.

The dreadful and mysterious SPP Summit in Montebello wrapped up this morning with a little presser. All three leaders gave a spiel, then... questions! The first one was for Georgie, as it always is (We're Number One!), and it was about recent talk of ousting Maliki, since his Iraqi parliament has been as useless as tits on a bull. Certainly that relates to the security aspect of the summit in that the clusterfuckalicious Iraqi imbroglio is a major threat to that very thing.
Georgie did a little trash-talking about the Iraqi parliament... there are "frustrations" with it, and -- oh yeah! Then he really got it on, in Full Georgie flight, arms waving as he blathered semi-coherently about young democracies, ideological struggles (you know, struggles between good and struggles between evil), terrorist safe havens etc., and ended with:
"I told you the other day at a press conference -- I don't know if you were there or not -- but if you don't believe it's in American interests to be there, you won't find any political reconciliation that is -- that is worth defending. If you do think it's in our interests, our security interests, then you'll be able to see political reconciliation taking place, some at the top and some at the bottom.
"Now, Ambassador Crocker and General Petraeus will be coming back to brief the Congress in about a month's time, and I'm looking forward to hearing their briefing. And I would hope that members of Congress from both political parties listen very carefully to the report they bring back, as we all make decisions about what's best for our national security in regards to this one theater in the war against the extremists and radicals."Huh. What on earth was he talking about? An Uncomfortable Silence was broken by President Calderon, talking about Hurricane Dean. I'm not sure how this related to what Georgie was saying... I think Calderon was trying to say "Let's move this thing the fuck along, you guys, I've got a hurricane to deal with back home."
During a little discussion about Arctic sovereignty, Georgie bit the back of Steve's neck to let him know who was Top Dog -- he pretty much came right out and said "Fuck Canadian Arctic sovereignty, that there belongs to the US of A. You can have a couple of the islands, but that's it." Harper should have drilled him right then and there.
Someone with some balls asked something to the effect of "Can you say that this is not a prelude to a North American Union, like in Europe" with bonus points for adding a remark about the SPP's lack of transparency. Harper talked about the content of jelly beans, but Georgie really shone here, talking about how "comical" and "amusing" it was that "there are some who would like to frighten our fellow citizens..." Really. He said that with a straight face.
And another reporter suggested that Canada might withdraw from Afghanistan in 2009, and wanted to know if Georgie thought we'd done our job and fulfilled our duty there. Who gives a fiddler's fart what Georgie thinks? By 2009 he'll be a grease spot on the political highway. He should have just said so: '2009? Not my job, man.' But instead he waxed poetic about the Ideological Struggle, girls getting education, women having rights. I love it when a misogynist prick like Bush plays the womens' rights card. While his best buddies in Saudi Arabia won't even let women drive, and his version of SCOTUS just invited themselves into the crotches of the women of his own nation. Spare me, crusher!
SPP is something I'm concerned about, but I really don't get it well enough to blog intelligently about it, so all you'll get here is my snarly commentary about things like the fact that all three SPP amigos were dressed (almost) exactly the same this morning. (Ha! It's true!) For real information, you must go to Creekside.
ETA: Pictorial goodness of the 3 Amigos in all their (almost) look-alike glory.
EDITED AGAIN to add: Some good SPP-related snark at Dependable Renegade (you might have to scroll down a bit).

The Important Documents You Need to Have in Place Before You Die
It's probably not the most pleasant thing to think about, but preparing for your own death may be one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones. Being prepared for the end doesn't need to be grisly. It just needs to be organized. And that means having all your affairs and documents in order. Here are all the key documents everyone should have in order so your spouse, children, and extended family doesn't have to think about it for you once you're gone.
A Will And Living Will
Having a prepared, signed, and certified will is perhaps the most important document one needs to have ready before they die. This document, Country Living explained, will assign an executor and will list all of your final wishes for how your belongings should be distributed after you die. Without it, your belongings will be forced to go through probate. If this happens, Karen McMillan, a certified financial planner and portfolio counselor, told Country Living, your home state's intestacy laws will determine how to pay your debts and distribute your assets for you.
Beyond a normal will you may also consider writing a "living will," which spells out all your preferences for end-of-life medical treatment in case you become incapacitated.
Power Of Attorney
A power of attorney comes in two forms: A financial power of attorney as well as a healthcare power of attorney.
As Yahoo Finance explained, if you appoint a power of attorney that person can then make decisions on your behalf for legal and financial decisions. This can be a "durable power of attorney," which becomes effective immediately, or a "springing power of attorney," which Yahoo explained becomes effective if a specific stipulated event occurs, such as the person becoming disabled or mentally incompetent.
The other is known as a "healthcare Power of attorney," also known as a "medical power of attorney." This appointment gives a trusted person the authority to make medical decisions on your behalf. It may be a good idea to appoint two different people as your financial and healthcare power of attorneys.
Financial Accounts
There are two important things to gather for this bucket: Your latest tax statement and all the information to access your bank and financial institution information. This will allow your loved ones to pay off any outstanding bills, pay your taxes on time, and will allow for your assets to quickly and easily be distributed.
Funeral Plan
To make things easier on your grieving loved ones it may be a good idea to lay out exactly how you want to be memorialized. Do you want to be buried? Cremated? Have a service at all? Whatever you want it's up to you, just make sure to write it down. Make sure to also note if you've pre-purchased a burial plot or service here as well.
Proof of Ownership And Proof of Marriage
Both proof of ownership and proof of marriage documents are critical to helping your spouse move forward with ease after your death. Make sure to have proof of ownership documents handy for cars, homes, boats, businesses, whatever, along with your marriage certificate so these things can be easily transferred to your living spouse. Without these, Country Living noted, it could take weeks or months for your spouse to take ownership. And just remember, by doing all of this you're giving one last gift to the people you love: Peace of mind.

Hey my loves! As you can see, I've been switching things up a bit on my blog. I've changed the theme, sorta messed with the layout and I have a few more things I'll be incorporating in the weeks to come. My mind is constantly running in overdrive thinking on ways to improve the blog for you guys. I do hope you like the changes I've made so far and I'd love to hear your feedback be it good or bad. With that being said, lets get into the look below.
I'm wearing LaVian's Flying Without Wings dress and I LOVE this dress! The designers absolutely know how to craft very sophisticated yet sexy dresses and this dress is no exception. This dress fit my Maitreya Lara body almost perfectly. Of course I needed to adjust the alpha layers on the Lara hud due to the fact this dress is 100% mesh but there was no need for me to physically adjust my shape (huge plus). LaVian is definitely the master of textures….you guys can see what I'm talking about from the pictures. I'm never disappointed when I put on an outfit from this designer. The dress has such a beautiful and rich colored pattern that I really didn't have to put too much work into accessorizing the outfit. I opted for a simple necklace from Zenith along with a pair of super high spiked stilettos also from LaVian.

Rand Paul on Foreign Policy: A Start, But What's Next?
As an exposition of the principles that guide his policy on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee—as well as one day perhaps as president—Rand Paul's recent presentation at the Center for the National Interest made a lot of sense to those who have criticized Washington's global strategy of recent years.
His commitment to protect the national interest and the distinction he made à la George F. Kennan between "vital" and "peripheral" interests certainly appeal to a realist like myself, as do his cautionary notes about the need to embrace diplomacy before deploying force and the importance of respecting the interests of nations with whom we do not share the same values.
It was nice to get to know Senator Paul's worldview. But here is the main problem I had with his address: Where is the policy beef, Senator? Provide us with the links between your worldview and the policies you would support and pursue.
Let's put it in concrete terms: What exactly are the "vital" national interests of the United States as opposed to the "peripheral" ones, here in early 2014? What is the U.S. role in the world today? Do developments taking place in the Middle East and/or East Asia and/or South Asia affect core U.S. national interests, and why? If they do, what should we do about it? Should we maintain our current troop deployment, or cut it, and why would that action strengthen American national security? Should Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Israel be regarded as allies of the United States? If so, should we use our military protect to defend them from threats to their security?
Senator Paul's address followed the all-too-familiar route of other libertarians who discuss foreign policy: reacting and criticizing.
Hence he explained his negative response to President Barack Obama's original plan for a military attack against Syria and expressed support for the current diplomatic solution "that may well do something that no military strike could perform—remove the chemical weapons."
But Paul does not explain why chemical weapons in Syrian hands should have been considered a threat to either vital or peripheral U.S. interests in the first place. He seems to take it for granted that they were such a threat and that the only necessary debate was over the means to get rid of these weapons. If the chemical weapons threatened Israel and/or Turkey and/or Saudi Arabia, shouldn't we have allowed those countries to take care of their own security, instead of insisting on taking a lead in trying to resolve that particular emergency?
In that context, Senator Paul should explain why we are in the Middle East today. Should we remain there as the main outside global player, or should we not? And why is that?
Paul seemed to embrace a similarly reactive approach when it came to Iran and North Korea. "The Syrian chemical-weapons solution could be exactly what we need to resolve the standoff in Iran and North Korea," he said. "By leveraging our relationship with China, we should be able to influence the behavior of North Korea. Likewise, we should be engaging the Russians to assist us with the Syrians and the Iranians."
Again Senator Paul did not apply his own formula—vital vs. peripheral interests—to explain exactly why and in which ways Iranian and North Korean nuclear weapons affect U.S. national security. Pakistan and India have nuclear weapons. What's the difference between these two prospective nuclear powers? And what happens if our attempt to leverage our relationships with Russia and China doesn't work? Would Rand support the use of military force in that case, and if so why? As in the case of Syria, why shouldn't the neighbors of Iran and North Korea use their own military power to deter Tehran and Beijing if and when they become nuclear states?
Senator Paul portrays himself as the anti-neoconservative who "doesn't clamor first for the military option" and is in favor of diplomatic engagement. Nowadays, this is the way almost everyone in Washington describes themselves—even neoconservatives.
But where does he find himself on the diplomatic spectrum: Does he support the use of economic sanctions? Or the provision of military aid to those we regard as allies and client states? Should we operate as part of multilateral military alliances, or not? What about the concept of collective security? Here is a question that brings together all these issues: Did Senator Paul support the first Gulf War, in which military power was purportedly used as a last resort?
After all, Kennan and the other realists that Paul seems to admire were not opposed in principle to the use of military power, certainly not when it came to applying it as part of their containment strategy vis-à-vis the Soviet Union. And they proposed specific policies aimed at protecting U.S. interests around the world, as opposed just critiquing existing policies.
My guess is that if and when Senator Paul were to provide more specific details and let us know where he stands on U.S. foreign policy—in fact and not in theory—he expects that he would probably antagonize vital as opposed to peripheral constituencies in the conservative movement and the Republican Party, possibly hurting his chances of getting becoming the GOP's presidential nominee in 2016.
But I believe that at the end of the day he would be better off politically and electorally if instead of delivering think-tank addresses and merely reacting to global crises, Rand Paul would initiate a true debate over American foreign policy.

Date night scents are special right? You want something to set the mood, to impress, to seduce…an everyday scent just won't do. You want something sexy that makes you feel good. So here are some fabulous sexy scents for date night and not your typical everyday scents either…read on!
1. Hugo Boss The Scent Intense Eau de Parfum – For Her
The first thing that strikes me about this fragrance is the fruity burst that it brings the moment you spritz it onto your pulse points. It's the scent of peach that is the strongest in this so if you like fruity scents then this one is for you. This is an EDP so it will last for hours. Again, like the Hugo Boss The Scent Intense for him, the female version also has a higher oil concentration and is amplified with aphrodisiac ingredients. I can see why this scent would also appeal to a man – it's sweet and ultra-feminine. The top notes in this fragrance are honeyed peach which then give way to a heart note of osmanthus absolute and then blend in with the base notes of cocoa and vanilla.
2. DKNY Nectar Love Eau de Parfum
It's all in the name with this fragrance because girl, this is all about HONEY! This to me after smelling lots of fragrances struck me as quite unusual due to that very ingredient – the honeycomb. As you can probably guess this is a sweet fragrance and a floral fruity gourmand at that. The bottle is really cute as well with an ode to the bee on the top. This is a great scent for summer because the summer is when you see the bees! There is something mysterious about the fragrance as well because at the heart of it there is an exclusive natural attraction extraction so this is all about attracting your partner. In regards to notes the top notes in this are Yellow Freesia, Mandarin, Grapefruit, Nectarine and Solar Salicylates. Yes Solar Salicylates! The fragrance blooms into heart notes of Jasmine, Muguet, Orange Flower and Mirabelle. And then it gets quite complex (this is not just about honey after all!) with honeycomb neroli extract, cedarwood, vanilla and musk at the base. If you are out looking for that special someone I don't think it would hurt at all to spritz this on before you go!
3. Hugo Boss The Scent Intense Eau de Parfum – For Him
I love a men's fragrance. There is something so incredibly sexy about a man who smells really good and the Hugo Boss The Scent Intense for Him is definitely in the sexy category. I've put this fragrance in for date night for him but I also wouldn't mind wearing this for myself. In fact there is a reason why this fragrance is so damn sexy and that's because it contains a higher oil concentration and amplified aphrodisiac ingredients. See I knew there was a reason for this! So what's in this seductive formula? Well first of all there is 'rousing' Maninka fruit and 'virile' Leather combined with vanilla. There are also top notes of spicy ginger and then is intensified by Green Cardamom. Basically consider this as sex in a bottle – it's seductive, sexy and well worth putting on your list of must-have fragrances.
4. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood Eau de Parfum
Sexy, deep and complex – that's the best way I could describe this incredible Oud Satin Mood Eau de Parfum fragrance from Maison Francis Kurkdjian. I love deep, sensual scents such as these – they are complicated, moody and complex. There is a deep sweetness that lingers in this fragrance and it comes from Bulgarian and Turkish roses. I love Oud scents and this one is sexy and feminine at the same time. The fragrance is inspired by oud wood, one of the rarest and most expensive ingredients in perfumery but what I like about this fragrance is that it is an oud fragrance but there is also something sweet and feminine due to the roses, violet and vanilla. This is a treat of a fragrance, for decadent nights when you want to feel your sexiest.
5. Chloé Eau de Toilette
I was lucky enough to be invited by Coty to their Perfume exhibition at Somerset House where I was put under all sorts of scent tests! Long story short I did a few blind tests and guess what mystery fragrance I was most drawn to? It was Chloé. Well it's no surprise to me seeing this has been my iconic and most loved scent of all time for several years. My ride-or-die. My go-to. My constant in a sea of storms. Okay I may be getting a bit emotional but seriously we all have our favourite (or few favourite) scent (s) that we feel defines us. Scent is personal and everyone is different. Chloé for me is a fragrance that embodies sweet but sexy, strong and confident without being overly powerful in any one area. It's well-balanced. I love the scent (think white roses) and would wear it every day – it's suitable for the office and on date night and everywhere in-between. This is a floral scent without being too floral and a dash of sexy thrown in for good measure. And who doesn't want to be a Chloé girl?
6. Marc Jacobs Decadence Eau de Parfum
Now this fragrance hands down wins the title for prettiest bottle around. I mean have you ever seen anything quite like it? Honestly even if the fragrance was long gone I would have to keep the bottle because it's just so pretty and looks like a Marc Jacobs bag which you cannot go wrong with. But what about the juice inside? Well think seductive, sexy and glamorous. This is a gorgeous scent that I think is best saved for special occasions because it does have that decadent feel to it. This is a sensual scent indeed – I can smell amber straightaway which instantly has a sexy feel to it. The Decadence scent is described as a 'sensual woody scent' and it's got an interesting mix of rich fruits like plum along with deeper florals such as rose, jasmine and iris and then dries down to amber, woods and fresh vetiver.
Top notes: Italian Plum, Iris, Saffron
Heart notes: Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine Sambac, Orris
Base notes: Liquid Amber, Vetiver, Papyrus Woods
If you are looking to treat yo'self then this is certainly the scent to do it on.
7. Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum
This is flowerbomb with a spice! Floral with a kick, this is sweet and spicy all at once. This is a really sweet feminine scent for those who like floral scents – it's a classic. The spicy scent comes from a dash of patchouli that comes out in the base. The bottle is cut like a multi-faceted diamond – simple but so pretty. Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum has ALL the good stuff – freesia, Centifolia rose, osmanthus and Sambac and jasmine. If you love floral scents – this one is for you!

The monsoon forecast should galvanized the country to make the most of a good season
The 'noraml' monsoon forecast of the India Meteorological Department brings the promise of a year of growth and good health for India's economy and ecology. If correct, India will have a second consecutive (following continuously) year of normal rainfall, after two years of drought. The prospect that 2017 will be a good year boosts the prospects (the possibility or likelihood of some future event occurring ) of enhanced (intensify, increase, or further improve the quality) agricultural output, healthy reservoir (a large natural or artificial lake used as a source of water supply) levels, more hydropower (hydroelectric power) and reduced conflicts (a serious disagreement or argument ) over water. It will also test the efficacy of the expensive water management initiatives launched during 2014 and 2015 by the Centre and the State governments to harness rainfall and build resilience (the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity ) for future drought cycles. As the IMD's experience shows, forecasting the all-India summer monsoon rainfall is fraught with uncertainties and has often gone off the mark. The dynamic model that it is using this year to make a forecast that includes an assessment of two phenomena (a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question ) — a possible late onset El Niño in the Pacific Ocean and variations in sea surface temperatures that create the Indian Ocean Dipole — will be keenly watched. Given that El Niño is expected only in the later part of the year when the monsoon is in its final stages, the expectation of normal rainfall is reasonable. A confirmation could come in June.
When more than half the population is sustained by agricultural livelihoods, highly efficient water utilisation (use, usage, employment, exercise) holds the key to higher farm productivity. In fact, preparing for drought remains a top priority today, in spite of a big increase in outlays for irrigation made over successive five-year plans. Data on five decades of grain output from 1951 show that the negative impact of drought on productivity is disproportionately higher than the positive effects of a normal or surplus (an amount of something left over when requirements have been met; an excess of production or supply over demand) monsoon. This underscores the need to help farmers with small holdings to look ahead. As agriculture scientist M.S. Swaminathan pointed out during the drought a couple of years ago, the focus has to be on plant protection, water harvesting and access to post-harvest technologies. The NITI Aayog has also been calling for ways to cut water use, since India uses two to three times more water per tonne of grain produced compared to, for example, China, Brazil and the U.S. The way forward is to create ponds, provide solar power for more farms, mechanise operations and expand drip irrigation coverage. Aiding small farmers with the tools and providing them formal financing can relieve their cyclical distress. The area under drip irrigation, estimated to be less than 10% of net area sown, can then be expanded. A normal monsoon will also relieve water stress in the cities if they prepare catchments and reservoirs to make the most of the season and incentivise residents to install scientific rainwater harvesting systems.

I don't care if the person next to you can hear you mutter Bingo;
I need to hear it.
I am sitting 50 feet away, behind dozens of bouncing ping-pong balls, over a blowing fan and motor, possibly hung over, with dozens if not hundreds of people muttering, dabbing, laughing, slurping, coughing and futzing all around us. SO SPEAK THE HELL UP!
I really don't want you to miss your bingo, and we'll both feel lousy if you do.

|Major League Wrestling has gotten near-national clearance on the BEin Sports Network for a weekly TV show that will debut this Friday at 9:00 PM. Anyone with Verizon FIOS, Dish Network, DirecTV, and AT&T Uverse should be able to find it. You'll have to search to find the channel but I have FIOS and I tracked it down.
Court Bauer is the promoter, using the same name he used in the early 2000s for another indy he ran.
They got Tony Schiavone as the lead announcer with former WWE D-level announcer Rich Bocchini (Rich Brennan) as his color man.
Looking at spoilers from TV tapings, it seems like they have a decent roster of top indy talent combined with a few WWE cast-offs and current Lucha Underground stars. MVP, Jack Hager (Jack Swagger), Low-Ki, ACH, Matt Riddle, Sami Callahan, Simon Grimm (Simon Gotch), Pentagon Dark, Fenix, Santana Garrett, Shane Strickland (Killshot), Jeff Cobb (Matanza Cueto), Fred Yehi, and Joey Janela are all involved.
In addition, Col. Robert Parker (Robert Fuller) is being used as manager and has a new Stud Stable.
Definitely seems good enough for me check it out and hope for the best.
