Dear Parishioners,
A friend of ours sent this to my wife. I thought I would share it. We often look for things to give up during Lent. Here are some ideas that I think everyone can use to better themselves during this time of penance, almsgiving, and charity.
Do you want to fast this Lent?
Here are words of Pope Francis…
Fast from hurting words and say kind words.
Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude.
Fast from anger and be filled with patience.
Fast from pessimism and be filled with patience.
Fast from worries and have trust in God.
Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity.
Fast from pressures and be prayerful.
Fast from bitterness and fill your hearts with joy.
Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others.
Fast from grudges and be reconciled.
Fast from words and be silent so you can listen.
Happy Lent!
Deacon Steve

Australian Open: South Korean Chung Hyeon Stuns Six-Time Champion Novak Djokovic In Fourth Round
Former World No1 Novak Djokovic lost to Chung Hyeong in straight sets in the fourth round.
Novak Djokovic lost in straight sets in the fourth round
21-year-old Chung will face Tennys Sandgren in the quarter-finals
Novak Djokovic is a six-time champion
Six-time champion Novak Djokovic was stunned by World No.58 Chung Hyeon in the fourth round of the Australian Open on Monday. South Korean Hyeon beat the battle-weary Serbian, who was clearly in pain as he stretched for balls, 7-6 (7/4), 7-5, 7-6 (7/3) and will face American Tennys Sandgren in the quarter-finals on Wednesday. Chung is the first South Korean player to reach the round of 16 at the Australian Open. Two years ago Djokovic outclassed Chung in straight sets in the opening round of the Australian Open, but the South Korean spectacularly reversed the result with three hard-fought sets against the wounded Serb in the fourth round.
Djokovic, who sought treatment for his troublesome right elbow and an apparent hip injury when stretching for a ball, battled through in great discomfort, as Chung stayed composed and mentally tough to claim his biggest win.
"I didn't know if I was going to win this match tonight, but I was just honoured to play with Novak again," said Chung.
"When I was young I was trying to copy Novak because he's my idol. I can't believe this, the dream's come true tonight."
Djokovic showed the effects of playing four rounds in his first tournament back after six months out since Wimbledon with elbow trouble.
He made a horror start to the match with two double faults in each of his two opening service games for a double break.
The six-time Melbourne winner clawed back to 5-5, but he called for the trainer to treat his right elbow early in the second set.
It got worse for the Serb former world No.1 as he screamed in agony stretching for a point, but he gingerly carried on with the signs of wear and tear plainly visible.
Djokovic attempted to shorten the points and avoid long tiring rallies given his battle-weary condition as Chung continued to pull ahead.
Fast-improving Chung won the Next Gen ATP Finals last November which featured fellow young guns Andrey Rublev, Karen Khachanov and Denis Shapovalov.
He dropped serve to start the third set but Djokovic gave the serve straight back and the South Korean got another break to go ahead 3-1.
But Djokovic bravely dug in and again broke back and took the set to a tiebreaker where Chung won some outstanding points to hold three match points.
Djokovic's resistance was finally over when he sent a backhand wide.

[78] Our prosecutor threatens us with the examinations and torture of our slaves; and though we do not suspect that any danger can arise to us from them, yet pain reigns in those tortures; much depends on the nature of every one's mind, and the fortitude of a person's body. The inquisitor manages everything; caprice regulates much, hope corrupts them, fear disables them, so that, in the straits in which they are placed, there is but little room left for truth. Is the life of Publius Sulla, then, to be put to the torture? is it to be examined to see what lust is concealed beneath it? whether any crime is lurking under it, or any cruelty, or any audacity? There will be no mistake in our cause, O judges, no obscurity, if the voice of his whole life, which ought to be of the very greatest weight, is listened to by you.

Getting sick of the cool temperatures and rain showers? Things are about to heat up.
On Friday, temperatures are expected for reach 86 in Binghamton, according to the National Weather Service.
On Saturday, they'll continue to climb with a high near 93 degrees. And they'll get even higher, with a high near 96 degrees on Sunday. In Ithaca, expect even hotter temps, with a high near 86 Friday, then increasing to 95 Saturday and near 98 Sunday. Don't expect anything different if you're in the Elmira area.
Temperatures remain in the 90s as the week begins on Monday and will stay in the 90s during the beginning of the week.
Temperatures this high can be potentially dangerous, according to the National Weather Service.
As temperatures climb, be sure to take some precautions to avoid the dangers of the heat such as heat cramps and heat strokes.
The National Weather Service has provided some tips to stay safe in scorching temperatures, such as wearing light, loose-fitting clothing and drinking water often, not just when you're thirsty.
Check on friends, neighbors and family often, try to stay in air conditioned areas and avoid unnecessary hard work outside or in hot places.
And never leave pets or children alone in vehicles.

Chesapeake Clams
Chesapeake Bay and Chincoteague clams are very sought after for their complex, savory flavor! We carry both bay and sea clams, and they can be prepared several different ways. Live clams can be eaten steamed, boiled, baked, fried, stuffed, as well as making clam chowders. Clams are very nutritious and versatile for making your favorite dishes. We have some of the best fresh clams available in the market, from our pier to your porch!
Clams are shipped live
PreparationSteaming Clams: Fill a pot with about about 1/4 inch of water. Bring to a boil and add live clams. Cover with a tight fitting lid and cook until they open (3 to 10 minutes).
Grilling Clams:Place live clams directly on medium hot grill and close lid. Cook until clams open, usually 3-10 minutes depending on size.
Baking Clams:Preheat oven to 400°F and place on a baking sheet. Lay aluminum foil on the sheet and place live clams on the foil. Fold foil, to make a tent so that the steam collects. Cook until the shells are open.

Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. ranks as one of my top 3 Godzilla movies from the Millennium Era. I thought the movie was fun and entertaining. To my standards, the fight scenes from the monsters definitely makes up for whatever lacked in the story line. At this point in time, releasing Godzilla figures around the same time of a movie premiere was the norm. Therefore without any further ado, I present to you, Bandai's Mothra Larva B (2003).
The Figure: This Mothra is labeled B to separate this version (male) from the other (female). There are some key features to identify when you're looking for this specific figure. This version (male) has freckles, the body is curved, and his mandible is open. The female does not have these features. Mothra went through a complete makeover since his/her last performance.
The overall design looks pretty neat, with my favorite detail being, what looks like, battle marks around the sides and face of this worm. The marks on his face and bumps that span though out his sides shows me a hatchling that has already been through a tough time for the sake of avenging his mom while saving the world from Godzilla alongside Kiryu and Mothra A. I could be wrong about that detail, but my imagination prefers to see them in a different light.
Mothra is molded out of soft, brown vinyl with darker brown highlights, blue pearl eyes, and a metallic gray mandible. This may be my most favorite design for a Mothra Larva figure to this date and I can't note any flaw of this figure whatsoever.
Size Comparison: Mothra is shorter, but he's as long as Kiryu. Mothra seems to be just a little big in length, but otherwise in great scale with Kiryu and perhaps Godzilla (2003).
Final Thoughts: I think this figure is unique enough to be on anyone's want list. Not only did Bandai cleverly alter this toy to make him distinct from his other twin, they also included other details that is far from disappointing. Scale wise, Mothra seems big enough to be perfectly paired with other monsters that appeared in the same film. I recommend anyone to buy this version with or without a tag. Any preference is fine.

# Error handling and monitoring
This section covers the best practices for recipe building for handling errors. View this recipe that showcases all the best practices.
1. Error monitor step
To monitor specific steps for errors, wrap all the actions within your recipe within an error monitoring step. This allows Workato to monitor all errors, whether user created or system generated, so that they can be universally caught and handled. To do this, click on 'Add a new step', then on 'Action with error monitor'.
As in the example recipe, you should nest all your recipe steps in 'Monitor actions for error'. This will allow Workato to watch these actions for errors. Once any of the steps within the nest throws an error, you can configure the recipe to retry the monitored steps once, twice or thrice, or to skip to the next steps immediately.
If the recipe still fails after the retries, the recipe will perform the steps nested in 'On error'. In the example, the recipe will send out an email via Workato to the administrator's email address when the actions have been retried three times and failed. Do note that as the errors are handled according to the logic specified in your error monitoring step, the job will not stop running when they occur.
2. Conditional actions
Try as much as possible to prevent errors by checking the input values to key actions in your recipe, i.e. when you are writing to a destination system. Use conditional actions to validate the incoming data and stop actions to end or fail a recipe job early to reduce unnecessary processing time and API calls. This will speed up the time taken for all your jobs. You can add conditional actions by clicking on 'Add a new step', then on 'Conditional Action'.
3. Stop action
Carry out data validation (using conditional actions) as early as possible in the recipe and stop the recipe using the stop action the moment something is amiss. This will make the recipe more efficient and minimize unwanted processing or excess API calls. This is done in steps 4 and 6 of the recipe. The stop reason can also be changed so that a personalized error message will appear in your job report and in the error emails. The example below stops the recipe when the search object step does not yield any results.
4. Custom Error Emails
When configuring the send email action in Workato to send custom error emails, please ensure that the errors are added as an attachment with a descriptive filename such as errors.txt. Also ensure that the email message contains the Job URL, Recipe URL and the time which the recipe ran.
The pills for
Recipe URL,
Job URL and
Job created at can be found in the 'Properties' tab in the data tree.

To Graduation and Beyond
As EWU commencement nears, seniors prepare for their final walk
April 13, 2017
That first big job or career is on the mind of all seniors across campus. Other seniors are motivated to complete graduate school before they search for a job.
College is the last step of the tedious schooling journey that began earlier in life. College, however, provides a different experience. You grow as a person and learn more about who you are and who you want to be in the future.
However, most seniors are relieved and excited to graduate. But remorse and anxiety are apart of the feelings seniors have as well. Soon to graduate students shared their thoughts about EWU and the future.
Mycole Meeske, a psychology student from Hood River, Oregon said, "I'm so ready to be out of here."
Meeske said she has liked EWU because of the convenience, the affordability of tuition and the cost of living in Cheney. She also enjoys the small-town atmosphere Cheney provides.
According to data supplied by EWU, 44 percent of students at EWU are transfer students. Eric Williams, an electrical engineering major from Mesa, Arizona and Zebulon Klemke, a business management major from Medical Lake both attended Spokane Falls Community College before becoming a EWU student. Meeske also attended a different college before EWU. She earned an associate degree from Yakima Valley Community College.
Meeske's favorite class was human sexuality. Meeske and Carli Robins, an athletic training student from East Wenatchee, Washington are planning on attending graduate school after they complete their undergraduate degree. Robins favorite class was orthopedic evaluations. For graduate school, she is waiting to hear back from the many schools she has applied to.
Williams is also ready for graduation.
"I'm ready to be done, but also excited," said Williams. When asked him about graduating in June. He also said that graduating will invite a huge sense of relief.
But Williams said he is apprehensive about graduating because he is unsure about how well he is prepared for the future. Williams has enjoyed the people at EWU and said, "I've had many good experiences and made some good friends."
His favorite class was electrical magnetism with professor Rodgers. After graduation, Williams said he needs time to decompress and enjoy a vacation before he plans and starts work on an internet startup company with his friends.
Klemke had some of the same thoughts on EWU and graduating. Klemke said, "I'm pumped, and ready to go out into the real world."
But like Williams, Klemke is nervous about getting a good job right out of college.
The cost of tuition is why Klemke liked EWU. His favorite class was multimedia document design. On his future plans, Klemke said, "I either want a job that can become a career or get my master's degree, but I would like a job so I can pay for my masters."
Robins expressed similar thoughts on soon being an EWU alumni. "I'm pretty happy to move on to the next chapter of my life."
"Going to EWU has taught me to always plan for the weather." expressed Robins.
"The small community and friendly faces that you can't get at larger schools is what I like about being a student at Eastern," Robins added.
The 125th Commencement will be on June 17 at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena in Spokane.

The 9M111 Fagot (meaning "bassoon") is a second-generation tube-launch anti-tank missile system that was developed by the Soviet Union for use against vehicle and ground mounts. The Tula KBP Design Bureau for Instrument Building developed this system. "9M111" is its GRAU designation of the missile, and AT-4 Spigot is its NATO reporting name. Developed in the late 1960s, this system is more compact and efficient than the previous 9K11 Malyutka system.
The man-portable 9M111 Fagot system uses a reusable ground launcher. The missile is transported in and launched from a container; the missile has a booster charge and sustainer rocket fuel. Launch stability is established with its four small vanes at the front and four large wings in the middle. The 9M111 is wire-guided and features a SACLOS guidance system. Its lightweight tripod launcher (9P135) includes a computing mechanism and an optical sight system, and may also be used with the larger, longer-ranged 9M113 Konkurs missile.
With a ready-to-fire missile ready to fire, the tripod launcher of the 9K111 weights less than 40 kilograms, making it a very mobile system. Infantry forces may even transport the system when the load is divided over multiple persons. However, it is normally transported via vehicle and employed away from the vehicle. A pintle mount may be used to mount the 9K111 Fagot onto various armored vehicles. This gun is typically not used in a naval role or on aircraft.
This system may be used against nearly every armored vehicle with the exception of modern tanks over the frontal arc. Its original missile has a penetration of 400mm RHA with the newest missiles penetrating 600mm RH. The maximum range for the original missile is approximately two kilometers and 2.5 kilometers for the improved missiles.
For more information on the 9M111 Fagot, other anti-armor and anti-tank weapons, military training and education, or for defense procurement services, contact the experts at UDC USA today.

Last night in the season premier of Childrens Hospital, the hospital staff moved to Japan and we learned what happened to Blake. Here are two excerpts from the score:
Childrens Hospital season 5 premiers this Thursday!
Chicago Sun-Times: Childrens Hospital is "one of the funniest shows on TV." It's nice to see my hometown paper get it right!
Last Thursday, Childrens Hospital received its second Emmy nomination, and this Thursday is the premier of the fifth season! Set your DVRs for midnight July 25th on Cartoon Network where an extra layer of craziness gets thrown in when the hospital staff moves to an army base in Japan.
As I write this, I'm just past the middle of the season and I can't wait for everyone to see these episodes and hear the score. I don't want to give too much away yet, but I think I've written a couple of the biggest cues of the series so far, as well as some of the funnest.
Hope you enjoy it!
UPDATE: I'll be adding excerpts from the score as the season airs. Look for them under the Music tab!
Free Download of the score for "Rose White"
Please enjoy my score for the fantasy short film, "Rose White." Based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Snow-White and Rose-Red," Rose White blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. The film, directed by Daniel Kuhlman and starring Deneen Melody and Erin Breen, will be making the festival rounds this year.
Download the score in mp3 format
Reviews mentioning the score:
A look back at Childrens Hospital and NTSF:SD:SUV::
"… there's no doubt this remains one of the most innovative, brilliant comedies on TV." – from A.V. Club's review of "Eulogy," the 4th season finale of Childrens Hospital.
Last week's season finale of (the now Emmy-winning) Childrens Hospital closed out what I believe to be the strongest season of the show yet. As usual, this season brought many unique score challenges such as coming up with a new theme and palette for Chief's back-story, parodying such incredible scores like "Contagion" and "Pink Panther," scoring large chunks of moments for an episode that was nearly non-stop music, and trying to figure out what the "British" version of the show's score should sound like.
This year, I also took over scoring on another Adult Swim / Abominable Pictures show, NTSF:SD:SUV for their second season which allowed me to do some more fun parodies like "Tron: Legacy," "Die Hard" and Kung Fu movie scores in addition to developing my own take on the procedural genre.
I am immensely grateful to be a part of two great, hilarious, and original shows as well as getting to work with Rob Corddry, David Wain, Paul Scheer, Curtis Gwinn, Jonathan Stern and the rest of the crew at Abominable Pictures.
Can't wait until next season!
'Childrens Hospital' and 'NTSF:SD:SUV::' Premiere Thursday, August 9 on Adult Swim
The premieres for 'Childrens Hospital' Season 4 and 'NTSF:SD:SUV::' Season 2 are back-to-back on Thursday, August 9, starting at midnight on Adult Swim. Get ready for more hilariousness and awesomeness.

This pilot fish works in tech support, so naturally he also ends up providing tech support for his friends and family.
One day a friend calls fish at work. Something is wrong with her printer, she says. The power is on, but it won't print, and the display is asking for "printer jam."
When she puts it like that, fish can't resist: He promptly instructs her to go to a business supply store and ask for some "printer jam" for her model of printer.
Then he sits back laughing to himself — no doubt she'll figure it out soon enough, and if she doesn't the clerk at the store will explain it to her.
Half an hour later, friend calls fish again. "I still need help," she says. "The man at the store said they're out of printer jam."
Sharky can't live on printer jam alone. I need your true tales of IT life. Send them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also subscribe to the Daily Shark Newsletter.

I've been doing some work recently upgrading massive portions of an angular 1.3 code base in preparation to move to angular 2 (someday). From a high level stand point, here's the what can be done ahead of time to help make it easier when you do go:
- Upgrade to 1.5.x
- Learn to write using one way data flow as often as possible. I'd suggest using a more functional approach as well, but that's just because it's easier to debug.
- Start rewriting as much $scope style work as you can into $ctrl components.
- Make yourself familiar with RxJS observable, and treat anything coming from your api like it's an observable instead of a promise.
Today's snippets are about that last point of the conversion. You can still do it the old way, but Rx ships with Angular 2. You're eventually going to run into one of the many reasons you would be better off using it. There are many more, but here's a couple of my favorite parts.
- It makes handling async events like user input a breeze: https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/examples/dragndr...
- It can often take less code to achieve the same thing.
- It makes handling socket based push style additions from your service layer a no-brainer.
So to that point, I've prepared to codepen's that act much like a fancy new component in a legacy system would. Yes, the api is terrible, no you wouldn't be allowed to change until everything could be fixed. I'm simulating legacy awful at that layer, accept it and move on. The entire component is terribly over simplified, but I want to make sure you focus on the RxJS bits.
First, the promise style:
See the Pen Angular example - Pull paged api, stitch, filter, sort, and display data by Lance Gliser (@lancegliser) on CodePen.
Then the RxJS solution:
See the Pen Angular & RxJS example - Pull paged api, stitch, filter, sort, and display data by Lance Gliser (@lancegliser) on CodePen.
The Rx bits
(Behavior) subjects
Subjects are used to wire in control of your stream. You can cause updates at any part required, and the rest of the stream will reprocess. "filterSubject" is being used here to allow in memory filtering based on keyboard input. A couple notes:
- BehaviorSubject allows to cache the last result, in this case 'skywalker'. Any future subscriptions (like ours in this example) automatically receive the last broadcast.
- BehaviorSubject could have taken an initial argument. I separated it just to make the '.next' call in the controller to be more obvious. This would be more useful in the case of something like a component binding being the initial filter.
- "var filtered$ = stitched$.combineLatest(filter$, _filter);" is able to be prepared ahead of time due to the nature of Rx. The stream is composed, but not activated until there is at least one end subscriber.
- var filterSubject = new Rx.BehaviorSubject();
- var filter$ = filterSubject.debounceTime(150);
- // ...
- $ctrl.filter = 'skywalker';
- filterSubject.next($ctrl.filter);
- // ...
- var filtered$ = stitched$.combineLatest(filter$, _filter);
.do`ing things
Rxjs is meant to be largely a functional language. Nearly all the functions take in something and return a new something: map, filter, etc. While it is certainly possible to use your operator functions and handle creating side effects, it's not in the spirit of Rx. Instead, when you need to cause side effects such as muting a state object or the $ctrl itself, you should wrap that code in "stream$.do()" code. This makes it immediately obvious to the next developer (including you 6 months from now), where and what the side effects are.
It's great for handling these kind of scenarios:
- Setting results into a cache
- Logging what the stream$ value is before and after an operation. Fun note, you can use just: ".do(console.debug)".
- Toggling loading states
- var people$ = Rx.Observable
- .fromPromise( ApiService.getAllPeople() )
- .do(function(pilots){ cache.pilots = pilots; });
Some RX gotchas
I haven't displayed any in this in this article, it's beyond the scope of an introduction. But there were at least three notable confusing points along the implementation when I built the real code this was abstracted from.
Observable functions sometimes change "this" bindings
Pay close attention to the way your service methods are being called. A crufty old bit of services I worked against relied on "this." ".fromPromise" didn't have this weakness but I ran up against at least one case where I needed to use something like "ApiService.getAllPeople().bind(ApiService)".
Hot vs Cold & Multicasting
Your observable is entirely capable of processing code in the background, with or without you listening. This is most often useful when real time data has to be ready for when it's required. Think keeping a socket open against a stock streaming service. I found this article Cold vs Hot Observables by thoughttram very useful initially to understand this. A better article once you can understand the previous would be one by the Rx project lead: Hot vs Cold Observables by Ben Lesh. Both of those articles are going to bring up the concept of multiple subscribers. It's a concept you're going to need, shortly into any project of some complexity. Just watch for the moment you run into "stream$.something()" causing a branch. If you don't make a multicast, you're actually publishing two Observables of stream$. The results can be unpleasant.
For the love of everything you hold dear... check the documentation set you are using. A great deal of the links and search engine results on the net are for RxJS 4.x. This example, and Angular 2, both use RxJS 5. They not compatible documentations, even for the same function. Methods you'll use everyday such as '.distinctUntilChanged' have had parameter order changed. Save yourself headache, and recheck, every time you look something up.
- RxJS 4.x docs: https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS
- RxJS 5.x docs: https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs
Getting started with RxJS
Ben Lesh has a lovely talk on YouTube that goes into many of the concepts you'll want to learn. While I recommend the entire talk (it's only 30 min), the most important bits to me were at 8:32. He talks specifically about how to start trying to use it, and the most common operators. There are a lot of operators, but the general set he'll mention are a great super set. Have a watch: RxJS 5 Thinking Reactively | Ben Lesh
Using Rxjs 5 with AngularJS 1.5??
I'm tentatively looking at doing something similar - integrate rxjs with AngularJS 1.5, so your post caught my attention (thanks!).
The codepen example you provide uses rxjs **5** with AngularJS.
Now, I always thought that to integrate the two technologies, you would need to use the rx.angular.js bindings (https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/rx.angular.js). This in turn means using rxjs 4 and NOT rxjs 5.
Yet your code example suggests otherwise - that you can use rxjs 5 with AngularJS 1.5.
If this is indeed the case then I'm going to dive in myself :-)
1. How far are you down the road of getting rxjs 5 and AngularJS working together?
2. Have you run into situations where you have to call $rootScope.$apply in order for angular to be aware that your subscriptions have changed the state of the application
3. Or perhaps another way of phrasing the second question - what are you having to do yourself that rx.angular.js bindings would be doing for you?
Hi Lance,
Hi Lance,
Thanks for getting back to me - very helpful.
Knowing that someone else is getting these two libraries/frameworks to work together is quite encouraging I must say. I think I'll give it a go myself!!
Regarding the $apply vs
Regarding the $apply vs $timeout
I've used a "safe" $apply in the past - ie call $apply only if there is no digest loop in progress.
The problem I see with $timeout is that it will be worse performance compared to a *single* digest loop. So my intuition says to use $apply and ensure that this is guarded to only be called once.
I'll experiment I think :-)

Access to the Special Voluntary Disclosure Program (SVDP) closed at the end of August 2017 and the government netted a little over R1 billion. There were two thousand applications for this amnesty. Whilst this is not the final amount as SDVP applications are still being processed, there is little doubt that National Treasury was expecting to generate more income. The Davis Tax Committee for example proposed this amnesty and expected the Fiscus would collect up to R10 billion.
Tax experts have put the disappointing results down to the complexity of the application form (detailed documentation was required by SARS and the Reserve Bank) and the fact that if clients opted not to go for the SDVP, their accountants were obliged to inform the authorities. It would also appear that talk of a tax revolt may be gathering momentum, which meant that individuals seemed to weigh up their options.
The SDVP was tabled as the final opportunity for taxpayers to regularise their affairs in terms of undisclosed off-shore assets and income. From September 2017 the automatic exchange of information between revenue authorities from over seventy countries began and is expected to expose non-compliance on an unprecedented global scale. Further "Panama Papers" style leaks are also reportedly occurring and no doubt SARS will keep a close eye on them.

Doctor insights on:
Blood Thinners
Blood Thinners (Overview)
Agents which slow ;/or break down blood clot formation in up to 3 different ways (they do not decrease blood viscosity; thickness.) (1) some inhibit platelet function (e.g. Aspirin, clopidogrel, etc.). (2) others interfere with some of the clot forming proteins (warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, etc.), (3) others stimulate the blood clot destruction proteins (heparins, enoxaparin, etc.).
Does aspirin dissolve blood clots?
No: Aspirin is used to prevent the formation of blood clots through the inhibition of aggregation of cells (platelets) that are part of the clot. Once the clot is formed, Aspirin is not very effective in dissolving it. This is because the clot has material incorporated in it that does not respond to the action of aspirin. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer

15 things other nations love about Canada
More than a decade ago, Canada became the fourth country to legalize same-sex marriage, which has since allowed milestones like World Pride 2014 to take place in Toronto where a record-breaking 120 couples from less liberal countries were married in unison. We also boast multiculturalism. In 1971, Canada was the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as an official policy. What does that mean? Officially, "multiculturalism ensures that all citizens can keep their identities, can take pride in their ancestry, and have a sense of belonging."

Agree to lender's terms and money will be deposited to your account
You can qualify for a cash advance loan at "Inboxloan Com 1800 Number" Have you ever found yourself dealing with multiple problems at the same time? Your kid gets sick. The pipe in the bathroom leaks. And your car wouldn't start. This is the kind of situation in which a lot of folks take out payday loans. Before you raise an eyebrow, you should first learn the many benefits of using this type of short-term loan. You have probably heard a lot of horrible things about people getting into a cycle of debt after using payday loans, but if you know how to avoid the same mistakes they did, you should be able to utilize this loan for what it is meant for. Get financing for whatever you need now at Inboxloan Com 1800 Number.
Inboxloan Com 1800 Number, To start with, you must recognize that this particular loan is a low dollar amount loan. Consequently it is possible to only borrow a couple of hundred dollars at a time. In some cases, you will discover lenders that allows you to borrow money as much as $1000. As the name suggests, you have to repay the loan on your next payday. Due to short-term nature of your loan, you need to anticipate to pay a comparatively high-interest.
It is inevitable to produce the comparison between online payday loans and private loans from banks. Obviously, personal loans are attractive for their low-rates of interest. However, it is not necessarily always possible to get approved for just one particularly unless you have a great credit score. This is actually the exact reasons why so many people use pay day loans instead. They generally do not have to worry about their credit rating in any way. They merely must show any proof that they can repay the money amount punctually.
You need to realize that online payday loans have a very high APR. For that reason, you need to ensure that you could pay it back punctually. In the event you fail to do this, then you definitely shouldn't be amazed if you end up paying a considerably higher amount than necessary. Ensure your next payday is big enough to pay the borrowed funds amount. Otherwise, you risk paying huge fees, thus damaging your financial health.
This is actually the biggest mistake committed by a lot of individuals who use payday cash loans. They may be tempted to get a massive loan without really thinking about how they can pay it off. The outcome is they have to pay the high APR, forcing these people to enter a debt cycle.
InboxLoan Payday Advance is probably the most trusted lenders you will find. They give a streamlined application process on their site. This will make it easier than ever to submit an application and get it processed from the team. Also you can speak to their loan advisors anytime you wish. This allows you to be informed about their loan terms and just how much interest you would have to pay according to your loan amount.

Imagine being a millionaire several times over and rather than staying in one of your mansions, or in your huge beachfront property, you choose to stay in a small private room in a hospital for nearly two decades instead.
Take a peek at her apartments, mansions and pictures of Huguette here.
Empty Mansions goes into the life of Huguette Clark and her family. Her father created his huge wealth mining copper and other things, (he seemed to have the Midas touch), but later in life he fell into politics and then scandal.
Huguette grew up rich with all the benefits of travel and schooling that come with that. She became reclusive after her sister and parents died. However, she was very close to some members of her family as well as certain friends and employees of hers, and they ALL benefited a LOT from their relationships. As it seems to be with most wealthy people, once she passed away, some long lost family members showed up and challenged her will.
I'll leave off the biography there, but did want to mention that at the end of this audiobook recorded phone conversations between Huguette and one of her relatives are played. (Some snippets of the conversations were played earlier in the book.) It was eerie to hear her voice after learning so much about her. She seemed to be a very sweet and warm woman, which makes what happened to her and her estate even more sad.
Recommended to anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating, reclusive woman and her family.

How do you define leadership, and what level of confidence does it take in order to excel as a leader? This is an insightful interview with Ron Harvey about the roles women play in corporate leadership positions and how men and women differ in their approach as leaders that could be hurting women and preventing them from raising to higher positions. Ron Harvey is a John Maxwell coach who specializes in working with C-level corporate leaders to help them 10x their leadership performance. What a fun and insightful interview on confidence and leadership.
Ron Harvey is the Vice President Global Core Strategies and Consulting LLC and Certified Coach with ICF. Certified John Maxwell Leadership Team Member. He works with organizations and leadership teams to enable them to be intentional about establishing a winning culture and improving employee engagement that recruits and retains top talent.
Clients experience higher retention rates, business growth, increased profitability and distinguish themselves as the place to work. Ron and his team provide real results in real time allowing clients the freedom to focus on their business operations, be creative and impactful.
Alicia: So you coach leadership, and what led you into that field of actually coaching leadership?
Ron: Coming out of the Military led for 21 years is where I got most of my leadership experience. I started very young in leadership with the military. I found myself being deployed at a very young age of 25, and people were really dependent on you to keep them alive, to make great choices, let them know they can flourish in their careers so I started leadership very young within the military and as I progressed and got promoted it just became something I wanted to do, and so my tag line became "I always wanted to do something that makes the difference for others". That's really what got me in to a leadership. So how do you help people show up to be their best.
Alicia: That's good! Being from the military obviously confidence had to come very quickly if you didn't already have it, once you're placed in that leadership role, you have to like gird up your loins really quick. Right?
Ron: Yeah! People really depend on it. The unique thing about it Alicia is I think I grew up really, really fast in the leadership realm and I think it happens to a lot of people where technically we're really good and get promoted to next position, and you try to do what helped you get promoted but that's not what is really needed.
Alicia: Ahh.., that is very interesting! I want to get some of these next questions that I had from an article that I read today, because you just touched on that, that sometimes the thing that got you to one position, is not what's gonna take you to the next position, or you promoted to the next position and it's not what going to bring you success in that position. So is that very interesting? That's how you work with your clients?
Ron: Yes! When we work with clients, one of the things that is really important, you hear this word "leadership presence". But if you ask people to define it, it's very tough. So when you start thinking of leadership presence, technical skills is not really leadership presence, it is not a mission statement. It is how you want to show up in a room every time you show up, and how you own the space that you in. And so now when you start talking about going from technically sharp which is great because you got to do that to get to the next level, but to get to then next level there's something different that's needed.
Alicia: Ahh.., that is very interesting and I don't think a lot of people are aware of that, or not until they're in that position do they realize that's what's happened, then it's like uh oh now what I do, and you have to learn quickly on the job training. So in your opinion, what role does confidence play in leadership?
Ron: In my opinion, when it comes to confidence, I think something that's really really tied of confidence is competence, and you find individuals that the more you develop the people that are dependent on you daily, that want to do a really really great job, if you tap into their level of competence then they show up more confident. That's even when you are looking at little kids, I spent a lot of time mentoring and working with the youth and one of the things we really work hard at is making sure that they feel very competent. So if you are a leader a leader of an organization, be intentional about developing people's competence and you'll be amazed how much more confident they show up. That part of it is super important. Now the role that it plays is, if I'm not confident as a leader I'll either do one of two things: either pretend or fake it until I figure it out. I'll shrink back and hope that I have a team that's really solid and I won't be a leader. I'll tend to do things honestly that I'm comfortable doing because I am not confident in that position.
Alicia: That is so true because, again I was reading this article today on women in leadership, and they said that… well, the article was really about overcoming 10 obstacles to power up, and one of the obstacles they said that, "there's hesitation about taking actions that will make other people unhappy in making those decisions". So competence, like you're saying they might rely more on the team instead of their own leadership skills and they'll hesitate to actually take action.
Ron: Well, which is very unique because when you show up to a new position, often times in most of the organizations, you know there's a gap in our society of being intentional about succession management planning. It's written in books, it's in charts so when you really take the opportunity and ask most people that got promoted, how much was invested in them to prepare them for the position versus they kinda got it by default, or someone got sick. You know what is really invested in individual that you see two years from now, really taking the position. So how much are you given that opportunity to grow while someone else is in charge.
Alicia: That's so true. Yes there's often leadership by default. (laugh..) "Oh you look good for this position, you should have it". Ok…
So one of the really interesting things, is the difference between how men lead and how women lead, what is your opinion on the differences that you see between men in leadership positions and women in leadership positions?
Ron: Wow I can give several answers to that question. Well, my personal opinion, what I say, is that women are really solid as leaders, when they make decision they pretty solid on it. They pull all of the data, they make sure that it is very factual, so they are really reallly solid. And I think women haven't been given the opportunity because of Corporate American society hasn't really recognized that one or two things that women do bring a lot in the table or that they are intimidated by women in leadership. I think that does show up but this is just Ron speaking, so it's not something that I would say is Gallop poled. But reality is that some people haven't yet recognized how great women are in leadership roles and that's not everybody but we do see it across to our society. But when it comes to women in leadership roles, what you will find out the difference between men and women when it comes to gender; when men know about 60% of something, they would step up and take the job. Women; often times will find another 40% reasons not to. Women will go in and say, know what, I know about 60% percent but I don't know if I'm really ready. Men would take a chance Alicia…
Alicia: And that hesitation I'm talking about earlier.
Ron: Oh yeah hesitation, They gotta know it all and men will go for it and I think that's because society is a lot harder on them so they wanna make sure they know exactly what they are doing.
Alicia: So if they make a mistake, it's judged a lot hasher that with men. That's interesting. I watched a Ted talk on coding for women, and what she's talking about is girl code. She had a company called Girl Code, and she noticed that girls would not show their work like they'd rather show a blank piece of paper and then show their mistakes that they made in coding. Where the boys would just show you all their stuff, and be like "Yeah" and they're proud of it. But women (the girls) would always be hesitant because they would think they're doing it wrong, they're making a mistake, and they always wanna be right or perfect before they actually show their work and I guess it's the same that holds true for leadership too, that they don't wanna mess up, or make mistakes, so even though you're saying that you think women are solid leaders, because when they do make decisions and they take action, it's you know, they can back it up and everything, but it's getting them to that state of actually making that decision.
You cannot be authentic and be a people pleaser. You are going to offend somebody and at some point in time. – Alicia Couri
Alicia: Growth is so uncomfortable. It's hard, listen and it's hard to take I don't even want to say constructive criticism, but it's hard to take someone telling you something you don't wanna hear about yourself, you know that you need to make a shift in. you know a lot of people can't accept that kind of "constructive criticism" about themselves.
Ron: And people use that word Alicia, that's one of the words you'll find I rarely use. And I got away from it in the military because constructive criticism for me means, to construct is to build, to criticize is to tear down…
Alicia: Is to tear down. That's why I didn't want to use the word, but… Ron: I use it probably for feedback, to help people grow, when those opportunities for growth, because there's some people that I've never seen a critic honestly, that helps the world change. They talk about the world but they never changed the world.
Alicia: So true. Ok so sometimes we resist those growth opportunities, and it is really important to have a coach and a mentor be open minded and have growth mindset so that when they are giving you feedback on things that you're willing to accept it and make whatever necessary changes that you need to make in order to grow yourself as a leader. And those are some great tips. Thank you so much. And I also wanted to ask you because, a lot of people talked about strengths and weaknesses, and your values and your beliefs. So what role do you believe your strengths and your values have in leadership?
Ron: I will start with the values first if I could here. Values for most leaders that's about everything. Because when someone, when you are a leader, and you find yourself… talking about leadership presence again, your values are there, they're real and the struggle sometimes, when you're leading an organization or making choices, and there are some values that you hold really really near and dear, if someone bumps up against those, you find yourself feeling very awkward, heated and frustrated. It's not because they are going against your decision, they are bumping up against with your values. So when you start to think about a leader, what you value most, being real about that, and when you are making leadership decisions, understand that you can't force your values on other people because being respectful of everyone's values as a leader it is super important.
Alicia: Now can I ask a question then, as we're talking about values, If you recognize you are working for a company then and you're rising up in the ranks, and you find that the values are no longer in alignment with your personal values, how do you address that situation?
Ron: And when you're working in an organization which is unique and I'm an entrepreneur and have served 21 years in the military, and there were things that bumped up against my values in the military, that's reality. But when you're working for an organization, as a leader as you rise, if it's not something dealing with integrity for me, and it's just a value thing, then I'm OK with it when I'm having that conversation, because I know I'm representing an organization. You know it's almost as though we look at, this may be a hot topic for a later conversation, but you look at the NFL and the people making decisions from a leadership role, they're role models and they're making some decisions that are from a leadership role for some people. Do I agree or disagree is irrelevant, but what I don't agree with, is they're on the clock when they go out for the NFL, and when they're go on that field they are working for someone. And so people are frustrated because they are taking a knee and I say, "Hey, look if you want to take a knee, I would love to see them do that on their own time. If you're gonna to stand for something, stand for it when you are not, because if you're working for me and you're doing some things when I'm paying you, I'm gonna be a little frustrated it's not gonna work out well.
Alicia: That's a perfect example of your values bumping up against the company's values. You're absolutely right! Do it on your own time, and when you're working for me, you represent me of what my brand is. Not necessarily what your brand is.
Ron: That's not for everybody I know we would get some people that would disagree with what we are talking about. But for me personally, if you ask Ron Harvey when taking to an organization, I think when you go into an organization if you are on their clock, and you know what they stand for, you get to make two choices; that you don't be a part of their organization anymore because it's too much of a struggle for you. Or I'm Ok with this and I can deal with this, now I do have a problem when it comes to integrity that I will to separate for something if it's an integrity violation for me because I can't do that.
Alicia: That's right, that's a good way to kind of delineate based on your values and the company's values. So what about your strengths?
Ron: I think for me and for every leader that is on here, we have to have a clear identity of three things that we really really good at. And we want to enhance those to get better. And some people say well you always want to get better in the things you're not good at. I don't play basketball, I loved it but I'm not basketball player. The best I'll ever be at it Alicia is average.
Alicia: And you're not going to be out there 6 or 7 hours trying to get better at it.
Ron: No I don't play golf, I'll go have fun and it's just good teamwork. But I'm not trying to be a professional basketball player. So I tell people whatever your gift is, get great at that, hone in on that, and be really excellent at that. So what are your strengths, because you have those on the table, and you bring other people to the table, that do things that you don't do well.
Alicia: Right, so what are your three top core competencies? To work on those, strengthen those, and hire out the rest.
Ron: Yes, delegate and hire out. It's a control thing. I tell people if you don't delegate it shows a lack of trust. I think it's super important that you are comfortable with delegating and how you go up in an organization you really don't get to do the things you used to do, you got to trust other people.
Alicia: That's true in order to rise, you have to trust others. So I have just 2 mins left so is there anything else you want to share Ron before we wrap up today.
Ron: The thing that I would probably leave with all the people that are listening to us is when it comes to leadership presence, make sure you find a coach or a mentor, find someone that really hold you accountable, and let it be fun enjoy what you're doing and stay within your gift. Leadership is an awesome thing everything starts and finishes leadership and be intentional about your own growth. The question I will leave what are the things you are doing to grow yourself? You should not be the same this time next year. This was an awesome interview and I hope you gained something from it. Please let me know your thoughts on Leadership and Confidence.

HOT: Huawei P Smart Pro pays a visit to Android Enterprise Directory
Huawei's 2018 handset dubbed Huawei P Smart is finally getting an upgrade in the form of Huawei P Smart Pro, according to a new listing on Android Enterprise Directory. The listing suggests that the device will come with a 6.5-inch screen, 4GB RAM, and 64GB in-built storage. Besides that, it is also known that the handset will run Android 9.0 Pie out of the box.
The listing also confirms that the phone will come with a fingerprint reader. However, it's not clear whether it will feature a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor or an in-display one.
Unfortunately, that's all we know about the device thus far. But, we'll make sure to keep you updated as we get more details.
In case you didn't know, the Huawei P Smart was launched back in December last year, and features a large 6.21-inch screen with a display resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. It is powered by Huawei's own Hisilicon Kirin 710 octa-core processor that is coupled with 3GB of RAM. The phone is available in two storage options: 32GB and 64GB.
The storage, however, can be expanded up to 1TB via a MicroSD slot that also couples as a secondary SIM card slot. The camera department is handled by an 8MP front-facing camera and the dual-camera setup on the rear includes a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. When it comes to software, the device runs EMUI 9 that is based on Android 9.0 Pie.
The fingerprint reader on the P Smart is mounted on the rear, and to take care of the power needs, it is backed by a 3400mAh battery.

Bobby Duncum pinned Don Muraco with the Full Nelson Slam in 0:06:31.
Rating: ** 3/4
Bobby Duncum is waiting to see who will get the next title shot at his Intercontinental gold, but he didn't want to get rusty and took a non-title match against Don Muraco. Muraco mounted some early offense, but Duncum is at the peak of his career and isn't about to lose right before an important title defense. Muraco ate the Full Nelson Slam and that was that.
Luke Graham pinned Johnny Rodz with the Thumb to the Throat in 0:03:25.
Rating: **
Luke Graham is still fuming over not being a tag team champion right now, and poor Johnny Rodz took the punishment for it. Luke was all over him so fast that Rodz didn't even have a chance to be unpredictable. After a lot of unnecessary punishment, Graham mercifully put Rodz away with the Thumb to the Throat.
The Dirtbags (Dick Murdoch and Stan Hansen) defeated Dean Ho and Tony Garea when Murdoch pinned Garea with the Gourdbuster in 0:08:15.
Rating: *** 1/4
Dean Ho & Tony Garea and the Dirtbags are developing a bit of a rivalry as the two newish teams are looking to establish their place in the pecking order. Ho & Garea would once again come up just short when Dick Murdoch planeted Garea with his Gourdbuster to pick up the duke. Both of these teams are starting to show they could be future opponents for Larry Zbyszko & Dino Bravo.
Hiro Matsuda pinned Sgt. Slaughter after a lariat in 0:09:59.
Rating: ****
The rookie Sgt. Slaughter has learned a lot under the wing of Gorilla Monsoon, but his match tonight with Hiro Matsuda showed that he still has a ways to go. Matsuda is a veteran of GCW rings, and with Bobby Heenan in his corner, an always dangerous foe. Slaughter learned that firsthand here, unable to figure out Matsuda's martial arts offense or cope with Heenan's distraction. A tough loss, but a sure learning experience for the young military man.
Mr. Wrestling I and Jack Brisco battled to a double disqualification in 0:12:01.
Rating: ** 3/4
Mr. Wrestling I has shown exactly what type of person he really is, and that is a piece of trash. Jack Brisco was the unfortunate victim of I's unveiling of his true colors, and the proud Native American was PISSED. Though these two are noted as amongst the best technical wrestlers in the world today, you wouldn't know it by this match as it broke down into a brawl in short order. The match continued to spiral out of control before referee Terry Taranova simply threw it out, ending it in a double disqualification. With the intensity of this feud brewing, it has been decided that these two will meet in New York on May 27 in an I QUIT MATCH!
The Blackjacks (Blackjack Lanza and Blackjack Mulligan) defeated Ernie Ladd and Pedro Morales when Lanza pinned Ernie Ladd after a short lariat in 0:09:55.
Rating: ***
Pedro Morales had backup with him in his battles against the Blackjacks this time, and it's hard to imagine a tougher partner than Ernie Ladd, another one of GCW's original competitors still active (the other being Gorilla Monsoon). Morales & Ladd are going to stand toe-to-toe with anybody, but as a team, they were lacking that all important chemistry to be successful. The Blackjacks pick up the win, much to the chagrin of the fans in Toronto.
Billy Graham made Gorilla Monsoon submit to a sleeperhold in 0:04:39.
Rating: * 1/2
Gorilla Monsoon is not an easy draw for anybody, but "Superstar" Billy Graham made it look about as easy as one can against the Monster From Manchuria. Graham couldn't get his arms around the massive Monsoon, but he changed his strategy on the fly and put Monsoon out with a sleeperhold, using his massive arm strength to quickly drain the life out of Monsoon's body.
[#1 CONTENDER FOR THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE]: Number-One-Contenders-Match:
Billy Robinson pinned Dory Funk Jr. after a figure-four leglock in 0:09:44.
Rating: *** 1/4
Dory Funk Jr. ruined the Intercontinental Title match between champion Bobby Duncum & challenger Billy Robinson last show, and seemingly got rewarded for it by being put in a match with Robinson where the winner gets the next IC title shot. Even though he had every reason to be extremely upset, Robinson kept his cool and wrestled his match, despite Funk's attempts to frustrate him. Funk suffered a freak incident in the match when he did an up-and-over in the corner, but when he landed, he tweaked his knee somewhat. Robinson then went to work on Funk's knee, working it over before putting on a figure-four leglock. Funk was in tremendous pain and ended up getting pinned in the hold, but his arms were under the ropes when he was pinned. The GCW Championship Committee reviewed the tape and has decided on a landmark decision. On May 27 at the Garden, there will be not one, but TWO Intercontinental Title matches! The first match with be Bobby Duncum defending the gold against Dory Funk Jr. Billy Robinson will later in the night take on the winner of that match for the title. But to make it even, Robinson will have to wrestle a match prior to his title shot, and that match will be against Don Muraco.
Larry Zbyszko and Dino Bravo defeated Ivan Koloff and Nikolai Volkoff when Bravo pinned Volkoff with the Side Suplex in 0:18:07.
Rating: **
(Larry Zbyszko and Dino Bravo retained the GCW World Tag Team Titles.)
[Lou Albano interfered against Larry Zbyszko.]
[Peter Maivia interfered against Ivan Koloff.]
Larry Zbyszko & Dino Bravo saw what Nikolai Volkoff & Ivan Koloff did to the Valiant Brothers in Boston, and insisted they get this match against the Russian duo. Koloff & Volkoff are still not on the same page, but Koloff is really beginning to take his frustrations on being associated with Albano out on his opponents. Zbyszko & Bravo got beaten down for most of this match, getting occasional flurries in with their speed and technique. Volkoff had Zbyszko in his dreaded Bearhug late, but became distracted when PETER MAIVIA pulled Koloff off the apron and fought with him in the aisleway! Volkoff released the hold and yelled at Koloff to get back on the apron, but the Russian Bear was too busy brawling with the High Chief. Volkoff didn't see Zbyszko tag in Bravo, who scooped Volkoff up and hit the Side Suplex to get the 3 count and retain the tag team titles.
After the match, THE GRAND WIZARD entered the ring and had a proposal for Zbyszko & Bravo. He wanted one more title shot for the Grahams, but he knew Luke & Billy weren't the current #1 contenders, so he sweetened the pot a little. He said if Zbyszko & Bravo won the match, the Grahams would break up forever! Zbyszko & Bravo thought about it and accepted the deal. They both tentatively shook the hand of the Wizard, only to be jumped by the Grahams and left laid out in the middle of the ring.
Dusty Rhodes pinned Killer Kowalski with the Bionic Elbowdrop in 0:06:43.
Rating: ** 1/2
[Bobby Heenan interfered against Dusty Rhodes.]
Dusty Rhodes is on a roll right now, and Killer Kowalski picked a bad time to be his next opponent. Kowalski is still suffering the effects of the punishing steel cage match with Ernie Ladd in Boston, and that coupled with the tremendous hot streak Rhodes is on spelled the end for the Killer.
Harley Race pinned Jimmy Snuka after a gutwrench suplex in 0:20:36.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Harley Race retained the GCW World Title.)
Without question, this match was the biggest of the Superfly's career. Jimmy Snuka and Harley Race, one on one, for the World Title. Though Snuka didn't win the non-title match with Race in Boston, he took him to the limit as much as anybody. Tonight, he got even closer. At one point, Snuka had so much momentum in his favor, the fans in Toronto were certain they were going to witness a historic title change. But as he has so many times in the past, Race found a way to survive and escape by the skin of his teeth. He hit a beautiful gutwrench suplex, and while pinning Snuka, grabbed a hold of the tights for extra leverage to get the 1-2-3. What a cheap way to retain the World Title, but it's a successful title defense never the less. He's going to have to find one more escape against Snuka, however, as the Superfly has been granted one more shot at the gold in MSG, but it will be contested under best two-of-three falls rules!
Card rating: ** 3/4
Match observations:
We always love coming back to Madison Square Garden, and on May 27, we will do just that!
WORLD TITLE TWO-OUT-OF-THREE FALLS - Harley Race (c) vs. Jimmy Snuka
INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH #1 - Bobby Duncum (c) vs. Dory Funk Jr.
Billy Robinson vs. Don Muraco
INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH #2 - Winner of Match #1 (c) vs. Billy Robinson

Muse are an alternative rock band from Teignmouth, England, United Kingdom. The band consists of Matthew Bellamy on lead vocals, piano, keyboard and guitar, Chris Wolstenholme on backing vocals and bass guitar, and Dominic Howard on drums and percussion. They have been friends since their formation in early 1994 and changed band names a number of times (such as Gothic Plague, Fixed Penalty, and Rocket Baby Dolls) before adopting the name Muse. Since the release of their fourth album, Morgan Nicholls has also appeared with the band at live performances to provide keyboards, samples/synth, and backing vocals. Their sound is a blend of alternative rock, classical music, electronica, metal, spanish guitars, and progressive rock. Usually they use the bass line as the driving force, often with the guitar providing only an extra layer to the song rather than carrying the melody, the bass has distortion and other effects applied to it to achieve a greater weight, allowing the guitar to digress from the main ...Več
