Previously, we honoured the WWE by looking at the very best WrestleMania matches of all time. Now, we examine the other side of the coin...and it ain't a pretty sight. The bouts that wasted our precious time. Time stripped from our lives that we will never get back. Contests that made us roll our eyes in despair, throw our hands up in frustration or had us slinking off to the fridge for a well deserved cold one after having to endure such pure agony.
It was no easy task sorting through 20 years of WrestleMania matches and having to suffer through those travesties all over again. In doing so, I formulated a couple of ground rules to chop down the huge list of stinkers. Here they are...
1. No boxing matches. Come on. Nobody ever took them seriously from the moment they were announced.
2. No obvious crapfests like Lingerie Matches, mixed tag matches, Bobby Heenan taking on the Red Rooster, bouts with Test in them or any contest that anyone could telescope as being horrendous from light years away.
So, without further ado, here are the matches you wish you could forget.
15. Triple H Vs Mick Foley Vs Big Show Vs The Rock (Four Way Elimination Match -WrestleMania 2000)
You are darn right. There have been worse 'Mania matches than this...but...remember...this was the main event of WrestleMania 2000. Remember the all-day pre-show being better than the event itself? Remember the we'd-wish-you'd-disappear McMahons in every corner? Remember when Mick Foley was supposed to retire...again? Remember that nobody bladed even when barbed wire and chairs, heavyweight belts and a ring bell was brought into play? Remember when The Rock and HHH laid as if they had been shot in the ring for six minutes or more as Shane and Vince brawled? Remember the fans letting out deafening boos when HHH won the match? Remember how the WWE dropped the ball during a cornerstone WrestleMania? Some things never change, eh?
14. Hulk Hogan versus Andre The Giant (WrestleMania 3)
Get real. After all the lead up and the months of hype...this is all we get? A plodding, lethargic match that ends in almost the blink of an eye? Missed the encounter? Here is a rundown for you...kick...kick...punch...punch...stomp...stomp...with a couple of bodyslams and clotheslines thrown in. To top it all off, Hogan's climatic bodyslam of Andre was way, way weak. Every match the two titans had after their WrestleMania 3 match (especially the steel cage match at WrestleFest) obliterated this slow-as-molasses yawner. Sound and fury equaling nothing is right.
13. Giant Gonzalez versus The Undertaker (WrestleMania 9)
This match makes Hogan and Andre at WrestleMania 3 look like a high-flying, Lucha Libre, cruiserweight match. It doesn't help matters that Giant Gonzalez knows as many wrestling moves as the fat, out of shape, Las Vegas sweathog sitting in the front row gobbling down his eighth hot dog in three minutes. The use of chloroform during the bout is laughable as is that flesh-painted body suit Gonzalez was wearing to make him look like a menacing giant. Yeah, we were petrified. They might as well of dressed him in a toga like everyone else. Gonzalez shortly departed following this droner. I guess it was only a matter of time before he joined Mantaur and Bully Busick in the WWE Hall of Shame.
12. Vince McMahon versus Hulk Hogan (WrestleMania 19)
Here's some free advice for the supposed 'wrestling genius'...you wrestle just about as well as you manage the WWE. Please stop insulting us. You have the agility of Nikolai Volkoff and the ring savvy of Uncle Elmer. What's with that clownish "power stomp" to the ring any way? Mr. Roboto reborn? I think so. As far as his meeting with The Immortal One at last year's WrestleMania goes, here is what I had to say at the time: "McMahon's embarrassingly weak punches, stomps and clotheslines confirmed why he should never don wrestling tights again. McMahon's shabby in-ring skills combined with Hogan's broken down body made for really bad viewing." In other words, it was 20 minutes and 47 seconds of living hell...except for the brief appearance by Roddy Piper. That was supposed to lead up to something between the two at WrestleMania XX until McMahon let Hogan go and began looking for any excuse he could find to can Piper...and he did. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Yep, Vince is a real "genius" all right.
11. Hardcore Brawl (WrestleMania 16)
From start to finish, what a freaking mess. An abominable riot with no common sense behind it. In the end, Hardcore Holly bashes Crash in the skull with J.R.'s candy dish to pin him? Proof why WWE will never, ever be as hardcore as ECW was.
10. Doink The Clown versus Crush (WrestleMania 9)
A wrestling clown meets a guy whose finishing move is squeezing someone's head? Wonderful. The farce turns into a full-fledged sham when another Doink pops up. As if one of them wasn't bad enough.
9. Paul Orndorff versus Don Muraco (WrestleMania 2)
Two legendary and extremely gifted grapplers short-shifted by terrible lighting problems in the arena as well as a rapid and bizarre double countout.
8. Yokuzuna versus Hulk Hogan (WrestleMania 9)
Bested and blinded by Yokozuna (with a helping hand from Mr. Fuji), Bret Hart gives Hogan the greenlight to accept Yokozuna's challenge to an impromptu match. A match which Hogan wins in about 15 seconds. Hogan steals Hart and Yokozuna's thunder and degrades all of their hard work in building up to their WrestleMania 9 match. Hogan and Yokozuna could've at least had a real match.
7. Razor Ramon versus Bob Backlund (WrestleMania 9)
For months, Ramon and Backlund traded insults. For months, the WWF played up the feud as the "wily veteran" versus "the young lion". Ramon beats Backlund in almost record time. Huh? One wonders why they wasted our time.
6. Gimmick Battle Royal (WrestleMania X-7)
Good idea. Very bad execution. No surprise. The WWE fumbles the ball...again. The grueling battle royal lasts approximately three minutes with the Iron Sheik winning after standing in a corner and holding onto the top rope for the other 2 minutes and 50 seconds. Lame.
5. Ultimate Warrior versus Hunter-Hearst Helmsley (WrestleMania 12)
Another "blink and you'll miss it" match with HHH being sacrificed to the Warrior. Not the kind of thing you do to fans at a WrestleMania. Everyone should've had more pride in their work than that. A slap in the face to any paying fan.
4. Hart Foundation versus Bolsheviks (WrestleMania 6)
Let's see. It is WrestleMania 6. The first ever WrestleMania in Canada, the home and native land of the Hart Foundation. How better to capitalize on their popularity then by having them sneak attack, clobber and pin the Bolsheviks in the middle of them singing the Russian national anthem? Who booked this? George 'The Animal' Steele?
3. Adrian Adonis versus Uncle Elmer (WrestleMania 2)
In one corner, the once tremendously talented Adonis who has since let himself go and is burdened with the 'gay gimmick'. In the other, an obese pig farmer with no wrestling talent whatsoever. Okay, it breaks Rule Number Two but...man...it was really, really bad.
2. Lawrence Taylor versus Bam Bam Bigelow (WrestleMania 11)
At its lowest, the WWE resorts to hiring a professional football player - Lawrence Taylor - to battle against the extraordinarily agile 'big man' - Bam Bam Bigelow. The resulting debacle is so painfully bad that it is unbearable to even watch. Bigelow deserves mega praise for trying his damnedest to carry Taylor. Try as he might, even Bigelow couldn't make Taylor look good. Appalling and baffling booking.
1. Jake 'The Snake' Roberts versus Rick Martel (Blindfold Match - WrestleMania 7)
You ain't see tedious until you've sat through this steaming pile of ever-lovin' crap. 'Blindfolded', Martel and Roberts spend almost all of the match languidly bumbling around and searching for each other in the ring. It's worse then a four way match featuring The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Mabel and Bastion Booger. I kid you not. The match is so crappy it makes even Test sick watching it.

The services of bluebell relocation were quite hassle-free even in the on-going of global pandemic Covid-19. Anthony was very much careful with our belongings and took care of each and everything. I would highly recommend their services for the next move.

THEY ARE THIEVES, VANDALISTS AND A PRESCRIPTION FOR A DISASTER.I read the warnings of not to use them but I was deceived by the GOOGLE GUARANTEE emblem. If you have a furniture that you wish to see how it's destroyed, then give those guys a call. I have PICTURES as a proof of their professionalism. 1 - Punctuality: When I first called them, I asked them about April 13th availability and I also asked about April 6th. Then I decided and made sure that I am clear that what I want was the 6th of April. However, their representative wrote the offer based on the 13th, and it was my fault that I trusted his professionalism and didn't read the fine print. Come the 6th and guess what? All of my stuff are packed and no one showed up. I called in and was hit by excuses followed by a series of lies that it was a miscommunication. As a result, they sent me 2 movers instead of 3 movers at the same rate!!!! When I told them it's $175 for 3 movers and not 2 movers, they said well the price for the 6th is different than the price of 13th of April. Therefore my remaining balance after paying the 10% down payment jumped from $650 to $1000! 2 - Value and Professionalism: I had to disassemble the bedroom, the bunk beds and carry whatever I can with them. They broke my kids bunk beds. They put boxes upside down and the glass inside it is shattered. They left the furniture without assembling it and walked away why? Because their time is up. It was 07:30 pm and they need to take a break. Taking a break was a lie because they took a break and one of WENT TO SMOKE A JOINT ON THE JOB DURING THE BREAK!!!An expensive cherry wood office desk is destroyed. Bunk bed is left near the house door without even assembling anything. (You know, they need a break). They left the house like a battlefield has just happened. I regret my decision not listen to the bad reviews, DON'T DO MY MISTAKE.

I had a horrible experience to say the least. Overpaid significantly more than what was quoted, dealth with a very challenging and unprofessional foreman and somehow my son's massive race car that was perfectly packaged went missing. Stay away from this company. You'll save yourself from a lifetime of stress.

There were a few workers at this company that I thought were helpful and professional however the majority were not. Know in advance that the largest truck they use - 53 ft.- will most likely not be able to access even the ENTRANCE driveway if you are moving to an apartment complex. Although there had never been an issue at my new home, with others, Bluebell would not even attempt to pull in which according to the drivers happens almost 95% of the time. So plan well in advance that it is likely you will be charged approximately $650 more for the 'shuttle' which was a $69.00 per day 20 footer, rented. Yes I read and signed so clearly I am responsible and stuck. Also be aware that the list that they provide after an inventory at your home is dubious at best. Example- Those 4 lamps listed could in fact use 7-8 boxes which increases your bill by footage. This of course depends on whom is packing. It's all arbitrary. My total up charges were $1250.00 . I was told by 2 different employees that one was minuscule and the other I should have expected. In the end 2 driver/ movers were helpful and one packer 'Chris' was great and fair. Only reason for 2 stars.

This company is inexcusably AWFUL! They are scam artists who use rank amateurs to pack and handle your belongings and who incur extremely high breakage, delays, lost items, and constant up-charging once the trucks are being loaded. Check out YELP and Better Business Bureau!!

Absolutely awful. To start, the estimate was 60% lower than the actual final amount (by then though they have you over a barrel since everything is already on the truck!). What a frustrating process too! I had menial items HEAVILY wrapped, presumably for protection? A roll of scotch tape literally had 5 sheets of industrial paper wrap. One of my plastic rulers also wrapped heavily in industrial paper wraps. These menial items filled a moving box which, after crunching all the numbers, costed me $422.46 to move. Insanity! I sent pictures and videos to management of me unwrapping these items and they have continued to "review the matter". Over a month and half later there is still no resolution. Nearly $10,000.00 for this move. Also, they subcontract out to other movers (this was cross country). The destination movers also nickel/dimed me. Never again! Hoping to help someone else avoid this tragedy of an experience.

The day the was supposed to pick up my furniture I never received a call saying they would be late so after calling a number of times I finally get a call back to tell me because it's so late in the day will it be ok to do the next day I said sure just to make sure everything was done correctly, then they tell me I should pack as much as I can even though I paid a extra $1000 for them to pack for me, none the less I been in Florida for about 2 weeks now and they are still tryna find someone to drive the truck with my belongings down here mind you I planned for my stuff to get here 2 days before me ,so im paying for a hotel along with rent and these people are sending me invoices about my furniture they still haven't delivered. THE WORST MOVING COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH

Very bad company! Please dont hire if you dont want to be disappointed! Not even talking about their price that was changing by hours. They messed up my bed so badly. When I removed my mattress to see what's wrong, I found support legs and Instruments under. Took pictures of crooked bed and sent it to the company. Also, 140 dollars towards their tip disappeared out my purse that I left on a kitchen counter!!! The worse experience! They even took my hand truck , really?

Winnie Agarwal

If I could give them a 0 I would. They flat out lied to me about the rate - they charged me almost double the initial quote, and still didn't fit the initial list of furniture. They wouldn't drop off the furniture to the destination because the truck wouldn't fit (it is a standard house in CO) without upcharging us more.I referenced bad reviews and they convinced me they would do a great job. Do yourself a favor and listen to the negative reviews - and DO NOT HIRE THESE MOVERS

I highly recommend Bluebell Relocation Services for moving. Anthony was an amazing sales representative. Felipe, Marcos and Daniel did an amazing job, We only booked them for 5 hours and they moved me into a 3 br house in 5 hours.

What a seamless and pleasant moving experience! Felipe and Marcos worked hard to make sure that my things were packaged, transported, and moved exactly to my liking. They were right on time, too. Fairly priced for a move from NJ to NY.

The movers on time However, You really need to read and reread this contract. In order to get a clear understanding! Otherwise you will regret it!!! No matter how busy you are. Stop and read!!! otherwise you might regret ever contacting these folks!!! so you wont get bamboozle paying lots of money at the end!!!My husband and I realized lots of things are broken , and many things deeply scratched up.

Still opening boxes from a move a year ago (Mom dying, and several surgeries held off unpacking). Just opened brand new lamps and one is totally broken, custom shade is bent and not usable. I've got 7 more boxes to go. I wonder what else they ruined, so far, about $900.00 worth of my things shoved in and out of a warehouse before delivered. Dining room table and chairs are marked up and missing screws. My electrolux is ruined, my unused, unopened string instument broken, and I was charged over $9,000 to move from NJ to Vermont with my furniture finally being delivered up here 11 days after I arrived here. They didn't even need a huge truck to make the move. They give you 7 months to file papers for damage, but, you have to have the reciepts from purchases, good luck with that one!

I highly recommend Bluebell Relocation Services for long-distance moving. Anthony was an amazing sales representative. Although somewhat pricey, the move from New Jersey to Florida was completely successful, even when the furniture was moved from a shuttle to a warehouse, then to a semi truck, then to a shuttle again, before finally being put in our home. Everything was undamaged upon arrival, apart from some relatively minor scratches in a wooden bunk bed. But as with any move, you must be sure to properly pack your items - as instructed to us by Anthony - in order to ensure they remain undamaged. Anthony took the time to show us how to correctly pack our items, which was immensely helpful. We are also grateful to the staff and moving crew of Bluebell Relocation Services for their professionalism and proper handling of our possessions. Thanks to them, we were able to move into our new home with all of our belongings intact.

This company is very bad, I don't recommend it for anyone. First thing, they said we will come 6:30Pm to move your stuff, and they came 7:30Pm. I called them 6:45Pm and they said just 10 min we will be there. They worked to much slowly in moving my stuff inorder to increase the number of hours they work. I just have one sufa, TV table, bed and 10 boxes, they took three hours just to move them to truck and another 1:20 to reach my new apartment which just 40 min far, and they took another 1:40 min to move the stuff back to the new apartment. So they charge me one hour extra, and 20 $ charge for matrix cover, which already they taken it after moving. The worse part is not come yet, they forget a package in there truck and then they asked me to take a leave from my job to come their office and pick the package. I never seen moving company like this. Don't trust them they are laying too much. Just check another company even if you pay little bit more, but you will save your time.

I will start by saying that I NEVER write reviews for any company or service, but I have nothing but wonderful things to say about these movers! While researching movers, I found it incredibly difficult to weed through all of the research, so I felt compelled to write a review of my own after my experience with Bluebell. I just moved this past weekend from Philadelphia to a 5-story NYC walk-up on the hottest day of the year. John, Chris, and Angel were the absolute best and such troopers through what was an extremely grueling move for them. They were very sweet, very efficient, and did an excellent job. Everything was in perfect condition when I unpacked, and the team made sure to place my furniture exactly how I wanted it. In order to keep my hourly-rate low, they worked quickly, even when I assured them that, considering the awful weather and conditions, I wouldn't mind if they slowed down. Prior to the actual move, Anthony was wonderful in helping me coordinate everything, and even offered his cell number for me to text with any questions (I took him up on this multiple times, and he always responded quickly). I truly dreaded having to complete this move, but Bluebell made the process incredibly easy, and I am very grateful to them for it.

The whole thing started going south after I signed the contracts,The salesperson became nasty, my scheduled date suddenly was not good for them....When the movers came the first impression was good, they moved quickly and looked professional.Then when we started unpacking and found out there's a lot of stuff missing, some very annoying like a key to a dresser that to date we cannot open, some with no explanation like an iron Bull head that's too large to just misplace.Also, lots of scratches and broken stuff ( some the head mover took crazy glue and tried to put together- very badly.)When we approach the owner, we were told to file a claim with the insurance company, he would not take any responsibility, after more pressure he decided to compensate us with $300.I paid over $10,000 for the move.The value of all the missing items are over $1,500.I would NOT recommend them to anyone.

My husband and I went with Bluebell for a move from an apartment to a house as their prices were competitive and we really liked the interaction with our point of contact at Bluebell. We have a newborn so explained we'd be splurging and paying for full packing/unpacking. Initially we were thrilled with the service - everyone was very nice, arrived on time, seemed to be extremely competent, etc. Not to mention, our move was complicated due to some unexpected delays and everyone was very accommodating (that said, it certainly cost us a lot more money). Things seemed a little rushed during the move but I trusted they were pros. When we got to the house, I realized we'd be unpacking (maybe naive of me). With newborn in stroller and surrounded by boxes, I started to unpack and quickly came across an extremely special gift we received as a wedding gift that had been packed in a box irresponsibly - the item was shattered. I quickly spoke to one of the movers who assured me nothing else would be damaged. Fast forward, there were 18 pieces - from special pieces we bought during our travels abroad, gifts from deceased, large pieces of furniture (dining table) that were damaged.The claims process was beyond frustrating. It took forever and multiple follow ups. I assumed we'd receive at least enough to cover half of the items. Unfortunately they offered $75! They ended up "going above and beyond with $300". So we are out a ton for the move, are now looking to replace items, did not get a move in service, and lost some really special items. I have pictures of the damaged items/packaging but just want to share our disappointment.. I could clearly go on and on but, as you can, would not recommend BluebellOne note, I was told their damage coverage is standard, and maybe it is, but I know someone who just had ONE lamp damaged in a move and without many questions asked, received the full amount for that item. I would not recommend using Bluebell (nor would anyone who has seen the damaged pieces). We are beyond disappointed and can't believe the condition of the pieces and lack of ownership and sensitivity on management's end.

They showed up a bit earlier than I planned on. But, they quick, safe with furniture and set everything up in the new apartment. Took a couple of hours and it was all done. I would recommend it to others. The movers were kind. There was no crazy increase on the price day of either.

Fifty Dollars….REALLY? I hired Bluebell Relocation Services for a move from Irvington, NJ to Orlando FL. I had worker come out to the house and provide me with an estimate, we agreed on price. But when it came time to pay I had several issues, I wanted to pay all upfront as I did not want any surprise charges in the end or have my belongings held hostage on delivery day. To my surprise they did not want to take full payment they only took 1/3 of the payment and we scheduled a move out date (12/18). Prior to move out day, I attempted to make a payment which they did not want to accept. But eventually after going back and forth several times (during the process), they agreed and took another 1/3. Leaving me with a balance of the final 1/3, however afraid that I was going to be over charged in the end, I insisted on making full payment BEFORE they arrived on move out day. I explicitly told them I did not want to get ANY additional charges and they tried, for tape, boxes and some light packing. I had over 100 boxes I had packed myself and protected my furniture with my own moving blankets and mattress covers. So really their work was minimal of which they had to walk about 80 feet to their truck. They held my stuff in storage for 26 days, on delivery day Sunday, Jan 13th, (now the issues begin)……. they were a no show. When I contacted them they said that no one responded to their call (although my phone never rang) so they continued on their way to other parts in Florida. But that they would reschedule for the following day Jan 14th however, again they were a no show. My belongings finally arrived on Tuesday, Jan 15th, so they offload everything. As they are bringing things into the house I and my daughter were checking the items off on the inventory sheet. That's when we noticed that a very large box was missing, which contained business attire and electronic items. So before they leave, we inform the driver and his assistant, they too look for the box and are unable to locate it. While at the same time, we noticed that my month-old brand new desk was damaged (legs and side broken) during the move. The driver annotates the inventory sheet (both theirs and mine) stating that the box was never delivered and the broken desk. He tells me to wait a couple of days for him to get the paperwork back to the office in New Jersey. However, once he leaves I call the office and inform them of the issue of which I am told to put it all in an email and send them pictures of the box and the broken desk (you know the box that is missing). When I reiterate, she says to send a similar picture so that they know what to look for, so I do. So between Jan 15th and Feb 6th I call several times and get a total run around. Finally I get a call on Feb 6th stating that I am entitled to $50.00 yes…FIFTY DOLLARS and for me to file a claim. I paid these people over $4400.00 for this move. So when I lose it and inform them that I was going to post my negative experience with them on the internet, I am told to find a "handyman" to fix my desk and to email them an estimate of the cost to fix my desk and they would review that. Mind you I paid $400 for this desk just two months prior. What about my box? How could I replace my business suits and my electronics with fifty dollars. Left in limbo…..THESE PEOPLE ARE SHADY, DON'T USE THEM. YOU WILL HAVE NO RECOURSE IF THEY SCREW UP……

Packing process and initial move was great, it was just really inconvenient that my items came on an 18 wheeler that couldn't fit into my apartment development. Huge downside. The movers themselves were great on both occasions though.

Explainer: Out-of-this-world destinations
We are headed to Mars ... eventually. But first we need the rocket technology and human spaceflight savvy to get us there safely and efficiently. And the best way to do that is to visit places such as asteroids, our moon, a Martian moon and even no man's lands in space called "Lagrange points," NASA administrator Charles Bolden explained during the unveiling of the agency's revised vision for space exploration.
The vision shifts focus away from a return to the moon as part of a steppingstone to Mars in favor of what experts call a "flexible path" to space exploration, pushing humans ever deeper into the cosmos.
Click the "Next" label to check out six other potential destinations astronauts may visit in the years and decades to come en route to Mars.
— John Roach, msnbc.com contributor
Lessons to learn on the space station
The cooperation required to build and maintain the International Space Station will be a key to propelling humans on to Mars, according to Louis Friedman, co-founder of The Planetary Society. The society is a space advocacy organization that supports the flexible path to space exploration. In fact, the space station itself could be a training ground for Mars-bound astronauts.
Astronauts can spend ever longer blocks of time on the station to gain experience in long-duration flights, for example. They could also practice extravehicular activities akin to those expected on a Mars mission, Friedman noted.
Lunar orbit, a test of new technology
Lunar orbit, too, is a familiar destination for human spaceflight, but a return to the familiar with new technology would allow astronauts to test the engineering of systems designed to go deeper into space, according to Friedman.
A return to the moon is still in the cards on the flexible path, but going to lunar orbit first defers the cost of developing the landing and surface systems needed to get in and out of the lunar gravity well, according to experts.
The famous "Earthrise" image shown here was made in 1968 during Apollo 8, the first human voyage to orbit the moon.
Stable no man's lands in space
There are places in space where the gravitational pulls of Earth and the moon, or Earth and the sun, have a balancing effect on a third body in orbit. Those five locations, known as Lagrange points, could offer relatively stable parking spots for astronomical facilities such as space telescopes or satellites. Human spaceflights to these points would allow astronauts to service these instruments.
In addition, space experts believe a trip to a Lagrange point could serve as a training mission for astronauts headed to points deeper in space, such as an asteroid. Nevertheless, reaching a Lagrange point would be more of a technical achievement than a scientific achievement, according to Friedman. "It is an empty spot in space," he said.
Visit an asteroid near you?
The first stop astronauts may make in interplanetary space is one of the asteroids that cross near Earth's orbit. Scientists have a keen interest in the space rocks because of the threat that one of them could strike Earth with devastating consequences. An asteroid mission would allow scientists to better understand what makes the rocks tick, and thus how to best divert one that threatens to smack our planet.
Humans have also never been to an asteroid, which would make such a visit an exciting first, noted Friedman. "Imagine how interesting it will be to see an astronaut step out of a spacecraft and down onto an asteroid and perform scientific experiments," he said. What's more, since asteroids have almost no gravity, an asteroid encounter would be like docking with the space station, which doesn't require a heavy-lift rocket for the return. That makes an asteroid a potentially less expensive destination than the surface of the moon.
Back to the moon?
The moon-Mars path of human space exploration originally envisioned the moon as a training ground for a mission to the Red Planet. While the flexible-path strategy broadens the training field, the moon remains a candidate destination, according to NASA.
Several other nations also have the moon's surface in their sights, including Japan, India and China. Some experts fear the dedicated lunar programs of these nations will eventually leave the United States in the dust as it focuses on an ambiguous flexible path.
Friedman, of The Planetary Society, said NASA should support the lunar programs of Japan, India and China as part of team building for an international Mars mission, but sees no reason for NASA to focus on the moon. "We've done that already and that was Apollo," he said.
Martian moon a final pit stop?
Before astronauts go all the way to Mars, there's reason to make a final stop at one of its moons, Phobos or Deimos. The two moons are less than 20 miles across at their widest, which means landing on them would be less expensive than the Red Planet itself.
Friedman used to consider a mission to a Martian moon nonsensical - akin to going to the base camp of Mount Everest instead of going to the top of the mountain. "I've now turned myself around on that, because you do go to the base camp and you do actually conduct training activities there before you attempt the summit," he said.
"By all means go there," he added. "Test out your rendezvous and docking at Mars, conduct your three-year, round-trip mission, maybe tele-operate some rovers of the surface (of Mars). That will all be interesting and then the next mission will finally go down to the surface."

Gamma-Ray Bursts: 30 Years of Discovery: Gamma-Ray Burst Symposium
E.E. Fenimore, M. Galasso
American Inst. of Physics, Oct 21, 2004 - Science - 783 pages
In the last thirty years, gamma-ray bursts have grown from an oddity to a central position in astrophysics. Not only are they the largest explosions since the big bang, capable of flooding most of the universe with gamma-rays, but their brilliance serves as a backlight that can illuminate the cosmos far deeper into the early universe than any other object. Their unpredictability has forced researchers to use extreme measures to observe them: completely autonomous satellites and robotic ground-based telescopes. Their bizarre physical properties have pushed us to develop new theories of astrophysical explosions. Topics include: global properties of GRBs; X-ray flashes; ultra-high energy gamma-rays, neutrinos, gravity waves; prompt emission and early afterglows; relativistic jets and polarization; GRB030329; GRB progenitors; GRB connection to supernovae; dark versus bright GRBs; late afterglows; GRBs and cosmology; general observations; general theory; analysis and observation techniques; present satellites; Swift satellite; future satellites; and robotic observing systems.

My 3:00 called 5 times for directions to my office, and kept arguing with my staff that WE had the wrong cross streets (I've been here since 1998, for crying out loud).
She shows up 10 minutes late, stomps up to the front desk, shoves a portable GPS system in my secretary's face (hasn't even signed in or introduced herself) and yells "THERE! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT!"
My secretary can see nothing wrong with what's on the screen, and says so. So the woman starts arguing that our building isn't where it's supposed to be according to GPS.
She then claimed that obviously the building had been moved since the GPS system was set-up! I swear!
Lady, this is a multistory, 15 year old, brick and concrete medical office building. I promise you that, short of major tectonic activity, they don't move.

Post by Stefan Van Eycken, Tokyo
Exciting times for fans of Japanese whisky in Europe. In two weeks, at Whisky Live Paris, La Maison du Whisky will be unveiling a quartet of exclusive Nikka single cask releases. These four releases also offer a cross section of the different types of distillate made at Nikka's distilleries: there's a Yoichi malt whisky, a Miyagikyo malt whisky, a Coffey grain whisky and a Coffey malt whisky (the former distilled at Miyagikyo, the latter at the now defunct Nishinomiya distillery).
In 1963, Masataka Taketsuru imported a set of Coffey stills from Scotland. These were installed at Nikka's Nishinomiya plant (in Kansai) and used to produce grain whisky until 1999 when they were moved to Miyagikyo (Sendai). For this bottling, the people at LMdW selected an ex-bourbon barrel filled the year the stills were transferred. On the nose, it's quite light with vanilla (but not too much, which is nice), subtle grassy notes, custard, Jonagold apples and hints of pencil shavings, cinnamon muffins and tinned peaches. On the palate, totally out of the blue, this whisky pulls out all the stops. It's really intense and full of character: baked spiced fruit, assorted pastries, mango chutney, tinned apricots, nuts, … You can tame it with a bit of water, but why would you want to see this beast in the zoo when you can experience it in the jungle?
Nikka also use their column stills to distill malted barley and, in theory, the resulting product would be something between malt and grain whisky. In reality, however, it's closer to a grain than to a malt. This particular release was matured in a re-charred hogshead. On the nose, there's more spice (compared with the above grain whisky), also apricot Danish, slightly burnt toast, toasted marshmallows, meringue and roasted chestnuts. Strangely enough, it reminds me of some bourbons with a high rye content (Four Roses Single Barrel, Bulleit). Water kind of kills the nose, but really helps on the palate. It's very creamy in terms of mouthfeel and wonderfully lush: crème brûlée, apricot jam, assorted nuts, banana fritters drizzled with honey, toasted coconut, a touch of nutmeg and a hint of citrus. The finish is medium-long on toasted walnuts and macarons (lemon and raspberry).
On to the potstill malts: this lightly peated Miyagikyo was also matured in a re-charred hogshead. On the nose, the initial impressions are green orchard fruits (apple hi-chu, pear drops), eucalyptus and shaving cream (well, the kind that I use anyway). There are also hints of foie gras with apricot jam, lemon tart and – after a while – faint traces of smoke – very delicate, a bit like lightly smoked ham – as well as a very subtle earthy element in the background (something like spring potatoes with tarragon and chives). The nose reminds me quite a bit of a 2002 Miyagikyo single cask released in Japan at the end of last year except that this is a bit more complex. I'm becoming quite fond of these relatively young Miyagikyo single casks. On the palate, it traces a beautiful progression from sour (lemon tea, grapefruit sorbet) via bitter (apple kale juice, goya) to sweet flavours (mango pudding, caramel popcorn). Then, on the finish, you get a bit of soft smoke… what a lovely send-off. Water flattens the whole experience – it's quite a delicate balance of flavours – so I wouldn't play with it.
This – brace yourself – is a heavily peated Yoichi that has spent a quarter of a century in virgin oak (a butt, to be precise). The thing is: this exercise in extremes produced a whisky that works and how! On the nose, you get pencil shavings, new plank, annin dofu and furniture polish – that's the virgin oak speaking – as well as 'farm smells' (reminiscent of some Port Charlotte single casks), heavily smoked nuts (beech nuts, peanuts, almonds) and a bit of fruit (apple butter barbecue sauce). The combination of new oak, heavy peat and that typically 'dirty' (in a good sense of the word) Yoichi character works a treat. On the palate, you've got sour cherries, smoked duck, marzipan, rhubarb jam, milk chocolate, smoked nuts again and the last of a summer campfire. Time has integrated the peat beautifully – it's not as frontal as you'd expect from a 'heavily peated' malt. The finish is long and lingering with the peat smoke more pronounced and a slight hint of orange peel. It works well with water, too – delivers a bit more fruit. What can I say? On paper, it sounds like a whisky on steroids; in reality, it's a little miracle of nature – 'extremes that were made to meet', Aldous Huxley would say.

4 New Nikka Single Casks for Whisky Live Paris 2013
2 comments:
Dear Stefan,
Among Japanese mainstream whiskies, I do love Yoichi 12yo. Any idea of the price of the Single Cask Yoichi (can imagine it's rather expensive of couse)? Only available at/during Whisky Live in Paris?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Adrien,
I haven't been informed of pricing yet although it sure won't be cheap. With single casks of that age, you're looking at 30,000 yen and upwards. It will be available in their online shop so keep an eye on that, and this being a butt, there should be plenty to go around.

U.S. equities took a steep nosedive today, marking their biggest one-day drop of the year. Investors' anxiety of Fed tapering nearly reached a boiling point today after the Fed hinted yesterday that the central bank may scale back its massive bond-buying program later this year. Adding to tensions, China's HSBC Flash Manufacturing PMI came in well below expectations, falling deeper into contractionary territory and to a nine-month low [see The Cheapest ETF for Every Investment Objective].
Global Market Overview: Stocks Nosedive, VXX Spikes And XLP Tumbles
As Fed fears heightened, all three major U.S. equity indexes tumbled to close in negative territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA, B) shed 2.32% after its underlying index tumbled 353.87 points, marking its first over-300 point drop since last November. The S&P 500 ETF (SPY, A) fell 2.48%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq ETF (QQQ, A-) lost 2.45%.
In Europe, markets also took a steep hit following Bernanke's commentary; the Stoxx Europe 600 slumped 3.0%. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average fell 1.7%, while China's Shanghai Composite slipped 2.8% on weak manufacturing data.
Bond ETF Roundup
U.S. Treasuries tumbled once again today, sending the 10-year yield to a 22-month high. Yields on 10-year notes rose 11 basis points, while 30-year bonds and 5-year note yields rose 8 and 5 basis points, respectively [see also Seven Simple & Cheap ETF Model Portfolios].
Commodity Roundup
Crude oil futures sold off sharply today, settling just above $95 a barrel on continuing worries of China's manufacturing sector and the Fed's commentary. In other energy trading, natural gas and gasoline futures also traded lower. Meanwhile, gold futures plunged 6% to $1,286.20 an ounce.
ETF Chart Of The Day #1: (VXX)
The S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN was one of the best performers today, gaining a whopping 11.71% during the session.

Hartford Foundation Awards Tina Matz-Costa $100,000 to Expand on the Work of the Center's Engaged as We Age Research Team
10 April 2012—Tina Matz-Costa, Senior Research Associate at the Center and Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Social Work at Boston College was recently awarded a $100,000 grant through the Hartford Faculty Scholars Program of the John A. Hartford Foundation to conduct a study that expands on the work of the Center's Engaged as We Age research team. The goal of the study is to understand the experience of psychological engagement among a sample of relatively healthy adults aged 65 to 79 who are known to be participating in the productive roles of paid work, formal volunteer work, caregiving, and/or education, as well as a group who is not participating in any of these activities to a significant extent. This study will use iPad technology to employ the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), which permits the assessment of fluctuations in engagement over the course of a day or week, and allows for the rigorous measurement of engagement using Rasch Model analysis. The study will begin in September of this year.

Diego Sahagún - Sep 24, 2006 1:31 am Date Climbed: Jun 5, 2006Nice day and mountain climbed by the normal-Lizara route
Nadie and me left my car at 10:40 AM - 1.525 m, passed the hut and took the forest trail to the N, following the GR-11.1 trail. Soon the forest trail becomes to be a path in the pasture and turns to the left (NE), below a big wall. At 11:50 AM - 1.905 m we rested for 20 minutes while eating some power bars and drinking water. Reached Collado del Foratón (2.016 m) at 12:35 PM, then the trail leaves GR-11.1 and turns to the right (NE) on a long slope. We stopped 30 minutes for having lunch at 2:20 PM - 2.555 m. So at 3:20 PM we were on the summit. A pair of Catalonians appeared soon and we were talking to them and taking some pics. We stayed on the summit 40 minutes until starting to descend. At 5:30 PM - 2.050 m, just above Collado del Foratón, we rested 20 minutes again and followed descending to the refuge, wich we'd reach at 7:20 PM. We drank some soft drinks and drove back to the camping in Hecho. It was a sunny day with good views on the top and we could see a roe deer below the big wall of Llano de Fetas, on the descent.

Great and fast climb to this mountain with my friend Fernando in 2 h 15 min (buff, normal is 3h 30min). The view in the summit are wonderfull.
For the descent we follow to Col de Secus (north face) for a beautiful narrow path with a lot of snow (with crampons and piolet in the car! argggg). The normal route is easy but never understimate this mountain with snow.

As the dean of San Diego State University's College of Business Administration, Michael Cunningham's job is to help "grow the economy, one graduate at a time."
The 53-year-old Solana Beach resident, who moved to San Diego from New Jersey in 2000, has only been the dean for about two years, but he's since raised the school's profile significantly.
Under his watch, SDSU was named one of U.S. News & World Report's top 10 MBA schools in California in 2012, and Cunningham has helped form professional advisory boards to advise and nurture its students.
Before beginning his collegiate life, the dean founded and ran Cunningham Graphics International, a print brokerage firm based in New Jersey. Cunningham, who says he and his daughters have watched every single episode of "Law and Order," shares his thoughts on the importance of education.
Q: Why is getting a degree in business important?
A: I don't believe the name of the degree is as important as the notion of learning. Lifelong learning is a must in this day and age. We all must continuously reexamine our "tool kit" and make sure we have the requisite skills and competencies to compete in this dynamic global marketplace and contribute meaningfully to our communities. I believe that contemporary higher education should be built upon a strong liberal arts foundation, have a solid science and math component and allow students from all disciplines to collaborate in various ways. For the United States to remain competitive in the world economy, we must have principled business leaders that are ethical, well-versed in the principles of business, globally competent and reflect the diversity of our great nation.
Q: Why is SDSU considered a top MBA school in California?
A: Our students are well prepared when they graduate and they are consistently making a meaningful, positive difference in society. The high quality of our faculty, staff and students coupled with a relevant, rigorous curriculum produces extraordinary graduates and impactful research.
Q: The business school has some well-known alumni — can you name some?
A: Douglas Manchester, chairman and publisher of the U-T San Diego and chairman of the Manchester Financial Group; Jim Sinegal, the co-founder and former CEO of Costco; Linda Lang, chairman of the board and CEO of Jack in the Box Inc.; Susan Salka, the president and CEO of AMN Healthcare Services Inc.; Mark Snell, the president of Sempra Energy; Mark McMillin, president and CEO of the Corky McMillin Companies; Bob Payne, hospitality legend and now president and CEO of Multi-Ventures Inc. (and many more).
Q: What have you done to improve/change the school?
A: Building on an already strong foundation, we have been able to accomplish much over the past two years. We have initiated an entrepreneurship minor and a sales specialization so students from any discipline can help turn an idea into a reality. With the help from the Cushman family, MSCI and Wells Fargo, we started the Wells Fargo Financial Markets Laboratory, where students from all across campus can learn about the capital markets, economies and financial literacy. We raised over $25 million to support student scholarships, faculty research and fund the upcoming and much-needed College of Business Administration remodeling project. Last but not least, we helped increase our rankings by letting the rest of the country know what we in San Diego already know ... that our college is a very special place.
Q: What is a common misconception about SDSU?
A: That it is a party school. Our incoming freshman class have an average GPA score of 3.6, and we had over 74,000 applications for less than 4,900 openings. Our students are serious about their school work and want to have an impact on society.
Q: What do you consider the most important trait a businessperson can have?
A: Integrity.
Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend.
A: That would have been last weekend. Woke up, read the U-T and The Wall Street Journal and went to Naked Cafe with my fiancé, Vanessa. Then we went for a 3-mile jog on the beach, worked out at Frog's (Fitness), did some chores and then went to the Hyatt Regency La Jolla for SDSU's Monty Awards banquet. Then off to Crush in Solana Beach for a night cap. Woke up on Sunday, read the U-T and New York Times, went to church then off to Costco, loaded up, split a hot dog and Diet Coke with Vanessa (can't beat it for $1.50) repeated the jog and work out and walked the Solana Beach farmers market. Stopped off at the Culture Brewing Company in Solana Beach, walked home, hopped in the Jacuzzi then watch an episode of "Law and Order" ... it doesn't get any better than this.

About Cross Disciplinary Studies
The Office of Cross Disciplinary Studies and Diversity Engagement promotes diversity in Academic Affairs through support of majors and minors that showcase diversity, and through facilitating development of cross disciplinary academic programs.
- to support faculty and students by encouraging integration of engaged learning, civic engagement and community engagement in cross disciplinary programs
- to facilitate new program initiatives and activities that would benefit from coordinated conversation and development
- to make diversity a more prominent focus in the activities of Academic Affairs, from the classroom to civic and community engagement
The traditional disciplines of the liberal arts and sciences are an important foundation for modern knowledge, each lending a distinctive tradition of inquiry to the human quest for knowledge. But these disciplines are academic conveniences, not sacred constructs and while some academic pursuits are well served by the traditions of disciplinary inquiry, others are not.
The complexity of our world demands a rigorous encounter with traditional claims to knowledge, and an ability to articulate problems, insights and solutions in a way that is meaningful to people within and without the academy. The Office of Cross Disciplinary Studies and Diversity Engagement encourages faculty and students to think across traditional boundaries in search of knowledge that can celebrate our differences while sustaining our common humanity.
This office showcases our diversity curriculum through minors such as Women's and Gender Studies, Africana Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Environmental Studies and many others. Yes, Environmental Studies is a diversity minor, because it requires study into the human interactions with the environment, and cultural diversity is a significant factor in addressing environmental issues! In short, a diversity minor signals an employer that no matter what your profession or field, you are versatile and thoughtful about human relations, and you have knowledge that will enhance your professional or vocational outreach.

When mentioned out sourcing the media would have most of us associate it with Microsoft, India, cheap labor etc.. However outsourcing is quite prevalent in our resorts although we do not seem to apply the name as such. There are both many benefits of this as well as questions about some aspects of it. Some examples we can easily identify are:
1.Diving school outsourcing. This is very common in resorts and seems to be the viable option as resorts trying to do this by themselves find themselves quite overwhelmed with the demands of running the whole show.
2.Guest shop. This is also one more trend that is catching up with the resorts as more and more shop companies are offering attractive proposals to resorts struggling with an unimaginative shop with an equally unimaginative concept to sell pricey nothings to wearied guests.
3.Guest relations. In some resorts there are dedicated tour guides or Guest Relations Officers (GROs) who are ordinary human beings less than a manager and a slight bit higher in position than the front office staff and are customarily required to be multilingual. However there is a growing trend to outsource this department to the water sports people.
4.Animators. This seems to be the domain of the fun loving Italians and they may hire this talent from guests as part of their package holiday deal.
5.Doctors. Although there are quite a few number of resorts with a doctor-in-house, some resorts did indeed outsource this job with an understanding with medical institutes, universities from where doctors arrive as guests and makes themselves available for service to other guests as well, in a discounted holiday deal.
6.Inspectors. Although most resorts do their own inspections with company big shots as the inspectors, some resorts send anonymous inspectors to the resorts as paid guests. These paid inspectors make detailed observations of all guest areas and guest services and submit their report to the person who commissioned the work after their departure and vanishes in to the thin air there after. This is very effective in keeping everyone including managers and the whole resort in its best form as nobody seems to know when the gestapo arrives.
7.Friday Imam. A local imam is hired and brought to resort for Friday sermon from nearby islands or from Male' to lead the faithful in the Friday prayers. This is good public relations thing with the islands as people of the islands appreciate their usefulness to the otherwise useless nearby resort..
8.Supply department. This is one department resorts shall disown sooner than later for their own good. Local suppliers specializing in resort supplies are better able to do this because they have many advantages over resort employed supply personnel such as local market knowledge, the sense that their success depends on a satisfied resort etc etc. . The way to go about is to go gradually and to build on trust. Better still to equip a capable honest agent based in Male' and to start a "supply relationship".
9.Power house. This is also a trend that is there but does not seem to move fast enough. Part of the problem is the lack of capable engineering firms in Male' or in the nearby vicinity of the island as the existing engineering firms are saturated with contracted commitments to service resorts for a nominal monthly fee. The terms of the commitment would include a nominal monthly fee regardless of whatever happens in the resort vis-avis the generator sets and special discounted terms to service yearly or biannual major overhauls of the systems etc.
10.Launch Section. Operating a "Launch section" is costly business and resorts are aware of this. It would involve a capable workshop to handle marine engines both inboard and outboard, the engineering people well versed in this special type of engineering as well as a sizable army of captains and crews, facilitators and a one more manager to the management elite group. Despite the costliness of this operation, several resorts have their own Launch Sections thanks to the few number of firms capable of catering for the constant but erratic travel needs of the resorts.
11.Insect and Pest Controllers. Some of our resorts fight the endless, thankless job of controlling the pests and other insects with sprayers, fog machines, traps and a range of chemicals and devices every day of the year all year round. Most resorts as of yet do a d.i.y (do it yourself) job of this as there are very few firms providing this service in resorts in Male' or Maldives.
12.Fire fighting infrastructure. Fire fighting equipment and systems are not the domain of everyday people as they are subjected to stricter rules or the insurance companies will take a flight from responsibility when unfortunate things happens… A couple of firms are available to provide the required services in this field and resorts are having to do with whatever is available in the market and curb their demands. There is strong need for competition in this field.
13.Landscaping.. same as above. But landscaping is normally required at the beginning of a resorts life after which an army of homegrown professionals take over. 2 known companies provide this service.

HÄXAN narrated by William S Burroughs
"Häxan (English title: The Witches or Witchcraft Through The Ages) is a 1922 Swedish/Danish silent film written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. Based partly on Christensen's study of the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th century German guide for inquisitors, Häxan is a study of how superstition and the misunderstanding of diseases and mental illness could lead to the hysteria of the witch-hunts. The film was made as a documentary but contains dramatized sequences that are comparable to horror films. With Christensen's meticulous recreation of medieval scenes and the lengthy production period, the film was the most expensive Scandinavian silent film ever made, costing nearly two million Swedish krona. Although it won acclaim in Denmark and Sweden, the film was banned in the United States and heavily censored in other countries for what were considered at that time graphic depictions of torture, nudity, and sexual perversion."
"Witchcraft Through The Ages" (1965) is the name of a shorter version of the classic "Häxan" that is narrated by Burroughs, who always was a great admirer of the original film, and including a jazz soundtrack.

What they've said…
'If you stand in front of a Russian orchestra and smile at them, they think you're either an idiot or a drunk. Here, if you don't smile they think you're sick, or have family problems or something.'
Vasily Petrenko reflects on the differences between conducting British and Russian orchestras in this month's BBC Music Magazine

Fresh from a visit to Edinburgh as part of his grand tour of England, Scotland and Wales, Mendlessohn arrived on the west coast of Scotland in the summer of 1829. Arriving in Mull after a journey by steamer from Oban, Mendelssohn wrote a letter, dated 7 August, that included a musical sketch for the opening of his famous Hebrides Overture.

Novell has positioned its ZENworks 11 product as a "single pane of glass" solution for unified endpoint management. Now at preview release, version 11 is designed to address the converging markets of PC lifecycle management and endpoint security by managing devices across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
As well as simplifying near-term needs such as Windows 7 migrations, ZENworks 11 is joined by the release of Novell Service Desk, a new product said to centrally manage help desk incidents and align with industry best practices such as ITIL.
"As organizations increasingly rely on virtual and cloud-based applications and desktops, the need for solutions that transcend physical device management is critical," said IDC analyst Fred Broussard. "IT executives, IT managers and administrators will need solutions that can provision, track and manage the software and identify hardware on PCs as they look to implement desktop management across the cloud and virtual environments, as well as the existing desktop."
While competing endpoint management products do exist from vendors such as Lumension and Checkpoint Software, ZENworks 11 purportedly broadens the appeal. The total offering itself represents a relatively extensive upgrade to Novell's endpoint management solutions and now includes four integrated products in one unified platform: ZENworks Configuration Management, ZENworks Endpoint Security Management, ZENworks Asset Management and ZENworks Patch Management.
According to Novell, "This new platform delivers a single, integrated console and agent where IT administrators can manage desktops, patch applications, secure endpoints, and track software license compliance with the precise tools they need, exactly when they need them."

Construction of the Capitol Visitor Center
Construction of the Capitol Visitor Center
The proposal for a Capitol Visitor Center began to crystallize in the mid-1970s with the issuance of the Architect of the Capitol's report "Toward a Master Plan for the United States Capitol." In 1991, Congress authorized funding for conceptual planning and design of a visitor center. In 1995, the design report was issued.
Changes in security needs, as underscored by the tragic murder of two Capitol police officers in 1998, and other safety and accessibility considerations required revisiting and revalidating the 1995 report. The updated plan was presented to the U.S. Capitol Preservation Commission in October 1999. Decisions by the Capitol Preservation Commission led to the start of pre-construction activities in the fall of 2001.
The events of September 11, 2001 necessitated additional design changes and prompted Congress to provide the necessary funding to move the project into construction. Actual construction began in 2002. By the fall of 2003, excavation was essentially complete and build-up of the structure began. Personnel began to occupy the building in July 2008 and it was dedicated and opened to the public on December 2, 2008. Since opening in 2008, millions of people have visited the Capitol, entering through the Capitol Visitor Center.
The excavation for the Capitol Visitor Center required the removal of 65,000 truckloads of soil or 650,000 cubic yards of material and workers set more than 400,000 pieces of stone some weighing as much as 500 pounds. The stone used in the Visitor Center was selected based on how closely it matched the existing colors and textures of the stone in the Capitol. Sandstone, which was the principal material in the original Capitol, is the dominant stone in the Visitor Center, with nearly 200,000 square feet of coverage on interior walls and columns.
The Capitol Visitor Center was designed to incorporate as many sustainable and low-impact features as possible within the constraints of its unique requirements. The Center was built below an existing parking lot, and is a "redevelopment" of an urban site which has not increased the amount of hard surfaces relative to run-off. The East Capitol Grounds are greener now that landscaping is completed with a total of 85 new trees have been planted (more than were removed for construction) to revive the scenic views envisioned in Frederick Law Olmsted's original landscape plan of 1874.
Additionally state-of-the-art high-efficiency fans and motors were used for mechanical systems and use outside air for cooling in place of chilled water when the outdoor temperature is 60 degrees and below. Light fixture occupancy sensors have been installed throughout office spaces and restrooms and compact fluorescent fixtures are used wherever possible.
Other features include low-flow bathroom fixtures and automatic faucets and toilets; low-emitting materials including paints, solvents and carpets were used during construction; recycling of 50 percent of construction waste; and six skylights allow natural light to fill many public areas thereby decreasing the need for electric lighting during daytime hours.

- 2. Riggs Campaign Responds to False Attacks
Cave Creek, Arizona – One of Frank Riggs' opponents in the Republican gubernatorial primary election has circulated an inflammatory and wildly inaccurate mailer to Republicans statewide. In it, he alleges that Riggs "cites a single vote while he was a Congressman from California two decades ago as his 'experience' in fighting illegal immigration." In fact, Riggs, an Army vet, ex-cop and three-term U.S. Congressman, has substantial experience fighting illegal immigration.
These are the facts:
1) Riggs has been on the front lines of law enforcement as a police officer and deputy sheriff. He's actually worn the badge, put his life on the line, enforced the law, and arrested illegal immigrants for committing crimes!
2) As a Congressman and Vice-Chairman of the California Republican Congressional Delegation, Riggs helped secure the funding to build the fence on California's border with Mexico which now extends into the Yuma Sector of Arizona's border with Mexico. Riggs has promised to work with the Arizona congressional delegation to get the funding to secure the Tucson Sector of the border.
3) Riggs introduced and forced a vote on legislation patterned after California's Proposition 187 to prohibit federal taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants. That was in 1998!
4) According to Numbers USA, the nation's largest organization, with two million members, advocating immigration reduction and opposing amnesty, Riggs received a grade of "A" for his congressional voting record. The organization "scored" 11 key votes during Riggs' three terms in Congress and ranked Riggs on those votes, not on a single vote as his opponent alleged. Riggs' votes were on congressional legislation to reduce chain migration; reduce refugee and asylum fraud; reduce amnesty entitlements; reduce anchor baby citizenship; reduce illegal immigration rewards; and reduce illegal immigration at borders. Here's the proof.
The same opponent also claimed in his mailer that Riggs "condemned SB 1070," yet this statement has been on Riggs' website for months: "I strongly support the provisions of SB 1070 that would allow a local law enforcement officer to detain and arrest an individual when they have probable cause to believe that person is an illegal alien violating our country's immigration laws. – See more at: On the Issues - Frank Riggs. Riggs also has the endorsement and support of former State Senator and State Senate President Russell Pearce, the principal author of SB 1070!Click here to read more
- 3. Gila County GOP Headquarters: Grand Opening & Tom Morrissey Fundraiser - July 19
The Gila County Republican Committee announces its Grand Opening at the Payson Republican Headquarters this Saturday, July 19, starting at 10:30 am. Sheriff Joe Arpaio will cut the ribbon at 12 Noon.
Other special guests include candidate for Arizona Senate Tom Morrissey (LD18) and former Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce. Senator Pearce was the primary author of SB1070. That was the law that allowed a local law enforcement officer to detain and arrest an individual when they have probable cause to believe that person is an illegal alien violating our country's immigration laws.
Click HERE to see the flyer. Please share with your friends and neighbors.
Tom Morrissey Fundraiser
Following the Grand Opening, there will be a fundraiser on behalf of Tom Morrissey, starting at 1:00 pm, to be held at Mount Cross Lutheran Church, 601 E. Highway 260, Payson. Sheriff Joe Arpaio will be the Guest Speaker. He will be joined by special guest former Arizona Senator Russell Pearce.It is critical that Tom Morrissey win the Arizona Senate race against Jeff Dial in Legislative District 18. Jeff Dial is one of 14 legislators that the Gila County Republican Committee voted to censure, along with Gov. Brewer, for their role in passing Medicaid Expansion. See GCRC Resolution to Censure Gov. Brewer and 14 State Legislators. In contrast, most Republicans stood firmly opposed to this damaging vote. See Arizona State Legislator Heroes.
Tom Morrissey was the Chairman of the Arizona GOP from 2011-2013. He was also the Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal for the Federal District of Arizona (Retired). Seating is limited. Tickets are $30 each, or 2 for $50.

- 4. Why Conservatives Support Frank Riggs for Arizona's Next Governor
When all else fails, please, study the candidate's record. The best indicator of future performance is past performance. Promises are meaningless without a record of performance that backs them up.
Frank Riggs has a very long principled conservative record, both in and out of office. He has stood firmly even when his stand was unpopular, because he had considered all the facts. His previous experience in the U.S. Congress has armed him with many facts that others don't have. Having served in Congress, he knows how to get things done at the federal level.
Frank Riggs's grasp of multiple, complex issues is impressive. Whether it's Common Core (Arizona's College and Career Ready Standards), Parental Rights/Educational Choice, Medicaid Expansion, Border Security, Private Property Rights, the Budget, the Right to Bear Arms, the EPA's threat to Arizona's economy, Arizona's Sovereignty, Water, Forests/Forest Products, Rural Issues, the Muslim Brotherhood, etc., Frank Riggs demonstrates indepth knowledge and leadership.
He is blessed with a high intellect and is his own man. He bristles at the idea of having any "handlers," which he neither wants or needs. He also stands up graciously under pressure and won't be intimidated.
There are few elected officials who have this capability. Former Senate President Russell Pearce, who recently endorsed Frank Riggs for Governor, is one of those people. You might remember him as the author of SB1070, which, among other citizen protections, gave Arizona's local law enforcement officers the authority to detain and arrest an individual when the officer has probable cause to believe that person has violated federal immigration law.
You might not know that Senator Pearce fought hard and successfully on behalf of parental rights and school choice. You also might not know that, like Frank Rigss, Russell Pearce served honorably in law enforcement. Click HERE to learn more about Russell Pearce's incredible record.

- 6. 1070 Turns Three While Amnesty Looms
by Sen. Russell Pearce, former president of the Arizona State Senate and current board member of the Arizona Conservative club and chairman of BanAmnestyNow.com. Portions of this article appeared in the May 12, 2013 Sunday edition of the Arizona Republic.
SB-1070 has been extremely successful!
SB-1070 is now three years old. All but a few small pieces have been upheld as constitutional by the highest court in the land, and "America's toughest anti-illegal immigration law" is not only on the books here in Arizona, but working quite well. Crime rates are dramatically down. Our state, county, and city governments have saved hundreds of millions of dollars in K-12 education with fewer illegal aliens in the classrooms, and saved tens of millions more in social services.
Illegal aliens have taken lives. More than a dozen Phoenix police officers have been killed or maimed by illegal aliens. Cochise County rancher Robert Krentz was murdered during the debate on SB 1070. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered near the border, and the list goes on.Click here to read more
- 7. Anti-Second Amendment Leftists Trying to Recall Sheriff Joe Arapaio
Here we go again. Zealots from the Left, headed by Randy Parraz, want to neuter our Second Amendment Rights. They do not believe you have the God-given right to protect yourself, your family, or your property. What better way to accomplish this than to remove a strong defender of the Second Amendment, Sheriff Joe Arpaio? Sheriff Arpaio is one of 290 sheriffs (at last count) across America who have vowed to uphold and defend the Constitution against Obama's unlawful gun control measures.
There are 3,000 sheriffs in America, so you can see why Sheriff Arpaio is such a threat to those who don't believe law abiding citizens have the right to bear arms.
Parraz and his band of Leftists tried but couldn't defeat Arpaio in November 2012. And so they have resorted to using the "shot full of loop-holes" Recall method to get rid of the Sheriff. And so, we will be subjected to another media circus, including the usual headlines, photo ops, and steady stream of quotes from Randy "Mr Respectful" Parraz, compliments of his fawning entourage of Peter Pans who call themselves "reporters."Click here to read more
- 8. The Russell Pearce Record
Many people don't know much about Russell Pearce's life. They don't know how his difficult and challenging childhood influenced him for the good, or that he saved a small child from drowning, or that he was critically shot in the hand and chest in the line of duty, for which he was awarded the Medal of Valor--the highest award given in law enforcement for exceptional bravery. They don't know about his accomplishments as Chief Deputy in the Sheriff's Department, and later as Director of Motor Vehicles, or that he served admirably as a Judge. And they also don't know about his exemplary record of accomplishments while serving in the Arizona House of Representatives and the Senate.Click here to read more

It's hard to believe that 2012 is drawing to a close already. Didn't we just celebrate the new year a few months ago?
It's been a busy year in the Fitzbirch households. Children moving from school to university (and the exam stresses that go hand in hand with that process) and moving in and out of home, trips to the emergency department, holidays, spending time with family and friends - these last twelve months really do seem to have been a whirlwind of activity. Through the everyday dramas of family life though, Louise and I did come up with the idea to start this blog, which has been a beacon of calmness in our busy lives. We've loved sharing our crafts with you, along with the thoughts and processes behind every project, and we've been delighted with your feedback, follows and likes. We truly appreciate that you choose to read and craft along with us.
Among our favourite projects for the year have been learning how to crochet roses and we've loved them so much we've used them in a few of our blog updates including our Knitted Tea Cosy and Doorstop.
We also can't go past Louise's teenage son actually asking for a knitted jumper and the wonderful result (which you can see here) plus the delight of learning to use a knitting loom, which has produced a few quick and easy items including a pair of stripy leg warmers.
What's in store for 2013 in our world of craft? Embroidery, crochet, afghans, knitted mittens and gloves and that's just for starters. Louise is all signed up for the Debbie Abrahams 'Mystery Blanket KAL' (http://www.debbieabrahams.com/site/mysteryblanket) and I personally can't wait to see the final result! Of course it also goes without saying that a bigger yarn stash is also something we're both aiming for in 2013...
Happy New Year

jhagan brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 41 Designs von 12 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Commonwealth Technology Consulting, Inc.
I started a IT business support company last year and need help in creating a more professional website. I'm great a fixing PC, servers, and networking, but I'm not a graphics designer! Please help!
My current web site (which I do not like!)
My new logo (which I love!)
My target is small business with anywhere from a few employees to several hundred. I perform desktop, server, and network support. I do not cater to any one market segment, my customers are real estate companies, cookie manufacturers, paper mills, general contractors, dentists, lawyers, and more.
The website should go well with my new logo (download here):
There are two versions of the logo. For this site I plan to use the one with a light colored background. I don't want the site to be too dark or have lots of black.
I want a website that is clean and professional. It will be a static site, only needing occasional updates. However, I would like the ability to change text content without too much trouble.
It has to work well at 1024x768
The phone number should be prominently located 757-559-1199
It must be original
