Opening Contest: Havoc in a Cell for EWA Hardcore/MA championship
Prasdana vs. Kid Skills(c)
The show was ready to kick off into high gear. This will be Skill's first HIAC match. Prasdana hasn't had one in a whole year. Prasdana had told interviewers that he won't be the regular Prasdana in the cage. Skills knew he would have to ruthless too. Before prasdana entered the cell, the 30 ft high cell with larger width he grabbed a steel chair. As Prasdana is entering the ring, Skills baseball slides Prasdana. Prasdana crawls outside the cell. Skills picks him up and throws him into the barricade. Prasdana walks into the cell and quickly slides in the ring. Skills follows, and the cell door closes. Skills kicks Prasdana in the gut and picks him up quickly. Skills throws Prasdana's head into the turnbuckles. Skills continues to work on Prasdana with kicks and rights keeping him in the corner. Then Skills begins shoving his foot into Prasdana's throat. The ref can't do anything, anything goes. The ref pulls him off and Skills argues with the ref. Prasdana fights back with a kick to the gut. Prasdana then pushes Skills into the corner. He whips Skills across the ring but Skills still manages to reverse it. Prasdana bounces off the turnbuckles from the impact and gets a clothesline from Skills. Prasdana crawls to the ropes as the fans cheer him on. But Skills intercepts him and grabs his legs. He pulls him near the corner. Catapult! Wait! Prasdana doesn't land chest first into the turnbuckles! Prasdana manages to climb onto the turnbuckle and onto the top rope! Here we go moonsault from Prasdana! No!! Skills is able to sidestep the moonsault making prasdana land on ihs feet. Skills hits a clothesline again. Skills takes a moment to taunt the crowd and play with them. While he is doing that Prasdana quietly is able to roll out of the ring. As Prasdana is grabbing a weapon. Skills is there to stop him. Skills picks up Prasdana and throw him into the cell. Skills picks up Prasdana again and rubs his face on the cell. As Prasdana's face is hanging and leaning on the cell, Skills backs up and kicks prasdana's skull into the cage. Skills walks to the cell door while insulting the fans. He grabs the steel chair and goes back to his foe. He patiently waits for prasdana to get up. Skills screw the headshot and hits Prasdana in the spine. The impact was huge and made Skills drop the chair. Skills looks under the ring and takes out a kendo stick. He throws it in the ring and throws Prasdana after. Prasdana uses the ropes to get up while Skills grabs the kendo stick. Whack! Ouch! Thats gotta leave a mark. A kendo shot to the back. Skills notices the crowd chanting vulgar chants at him and interacts with the crowd again. While thats happening, Prasdana ues the ropes to get up from the apron. Skills notices Prasdana on the apron and bounces of the ropes thinking of a spear! no! Prasdana side-steps it sending Skill head first into the cell like a missile. Prasdana enters the ring and has a little break while Skills is getting up.Skills slowly manages to get up some how. Prasdana bounces off the ropes and hits a suicide dive sending Skills into the cell again! Looks like a dangerous move payed off for Prasdana as he is able to recover. While Skills took the best of that. Prasdana lies in the ring looking up at the lights in the Presidential Center. Skill finally gets into the ring and Prasdana is quickly there to attack him.
Oops wrong section again
----

Prasdana grabs both of Skills legs with his head on the apron. Ohh! Catapult that sends Skills neck into the bottom rope. Prasdana starts stomping Skills keeping him down. Prasdana then picks Skills up and sits a side-suplex and quickly going for the cover. Skills is able to kick out at two. Prasdana quickly continues his offense with a front Chin lock. Skills slowly tries to escape by turning to his side and getting on his knees. Skills is able to stand on his feet and throws a few rights to the ribs of prasdana who is still holding onto the hold. As it seems as Skills is gaining momentum Prasdana puts a stop sign on it with a knee to Skills gut. Then Prasdana irish whips Skills and Skills counters. Skills bends over waiting but gets a boot to the face. Skills is stunned and backs off. Prasdana rushes him but gets thrown over the ropes onto the apron. Skills then connects a boot that sends Prasdana into the cell. Skills leaves the ring and searches under
under the ring

Question #4:

Question about diving?

Alright im wondering, After how many meters is diving dangerous? For example i heard there are many problems that could occur from diving (EG. i saw someone get paralyzed from ascending too fast) what are they? I dove 5 meters my ears felt like they were about to explode O_O i had to go back up. I didnt use any gear though just dove (yea i can hold my breathe for a LONG time)

Question #5:

What are good equipment needs to get to a geocache that i want to make?

Now when i say this i don't like rock climbing gear and scube diving gear but i mean more of stratagy thinking skills that you need to know to get to.

The reason why i am asking is because one of the caches which i found on the website has used archemedes principle in order to get to it.
The way that it works is that you need 5litre bottle of water and fill it up a tube to get the cache to float to the top.


I want to use something like that for my next geocache which i am gonna make.
Any ideas for this clever thought cache.

Question #6:

what weapons are the Navy SEALs using?

Ive wanted to be a Navy SEAL since i was 12 years old and Im qualifying for a Challenge contract now and I have been wondering what kind of weapons the SEALs are using presently specifically I would like to know if they phased out the Mk43.mod0/M60 for the M240 completely and are they still using the M4A1 or if they switched over to the HK416. The weapons and scuba diving is what first inspired me to be a SEAL and Im just curious about the gear ill be using when I make it to 3rd phase. Ive checked a few websites but they seem out dated.

.Thanks, Mike Hooyah!

Question #7:

scuba diving and sea sick and mad husband?

I went on a scuba diving trip with my husband we have both been certified for a few years now. I did OK going out. I took some dramamine. I think I took to much and had a reaction because when I was throwing up I got very disoriented for a moment which was scary because I was hanging off the side of the boat. If I had not come to I would have been woman overboard My husband was under the water diving he had no idea how sick I was until he came up. He was nice to me and packed up all my gear I could not move until the boat docked I was dry heaving it was horrible. I found a bathroom on the boardwalk that had a very nice bathroom with a semi warm shower so I rinsed off and changed my clothes I knew he wanted to go eat so I was just going to go and sit and wait for him to eat but I was able to pick at some food and get some liquid down. It was around midnight before we got into bed we got about 5 hours of sleep and were suppose to go on another boat dive well needless to say I was soooo not up to it. He got really pissed off with me. The radar was looking horrible anyway I suggested he go and let me stay at the hotel he insisted we go straight home and he has been pissed at me every since. I cannot tell you how ugly he has been to me I was in tears at breakfast he stormed out of the cafe and told me to stop making a scene. I got in the car as he started in on me again I finally got real ugly with him and told him in no certain terms to leave me alone. If he had left me in the room and go on and done his diving things would have worked out just fine instead he turned into a jerk and ruined the day for both of us. Am I out of line?

Question #8:

what tips do you have for extending breath underwater?

hi i was free diving in the north sea today and i could hold my breath under water for about 4 minutes
i want to be able to do it for longer because i'm going to cozumel next easter for holiday i want to be able to see the wild life underwater for longer without all the scuba gear which i find annoying plus i wanna swim with some sharks :D

Question #9:

Should I buy my own scuba gear?

I am looking into buying an Oceanic scuba gear package for $1750. I have been a certified diver for two years now but haven't done as many dives as I would have liked to. This is mainly because of the extra expense of hiring scuba gear, it can change a $50 dive into a $100 dive! I am not sure whether to buy my own Equipment, or save my money (as i am still in school and have uni/car to pay for soon). I would really want my own gear and i have the money, but it is a lot of money. Should I get the gear? Or is there a cheaper quality package i can get locally in australia? Thanks.

Question #10:

diver, whos made it down the furthest?

(I mean a diver with no submarine or machine. just the divers body with the usual gear)
Does anyone know who has the record for diving the deepest in the oceans out of any other divers and survived? and how far did they make it down? thank you im just curious :)

Question #11:

Is this a good story plot line? Please help, I'm trying to write this and i don't know how good it is!?!?

I am writing a story about this human girl, Phoebe, who gets onto the swim team. She meets a guy, Dylan, when she is out boating in the ocean. She meets with Dylan everyday on the boat, but they never go in the water. After a few meetings, a teacher from school comes buy on her own boat. Dylan tries to leave, but the teacher tries to get him. Then Phoebe gets in the way and the teacher kidnaps her. Dylan then goes to rescue Phoebe after he receives a message from the teacher saying that he could never see her again unless he gives himself up, When he goes to rescue Phoebe, Phoebe learns that Dylan is a merman. But even when Dylan reveals himself Phoebe still loves him. Then Phoebe goes to and underwater world with scuba diving gear. She makes herself become a mermaid and she goes to rescue Dylan.
Oh, sorry. the teacher is a mermaid hunter. I forgot to explain that.

Question #13:

So much tension between the family due to what my son have been doing!?

A couple days ago, my husband was trying to find a tool to change his car oil. Since my son is the one who pretty much own every tools because he learned back in freshman that if he take in thing and fix it up, he can make profit from it. So he got to point where he’d do anything from fixing furniture, repairing electric items, and other things. He start to buying all kind of tools that he end up pretty much own every tools we have here and the garage.
To his horrific he found a scuba hidden away especially since he has no lesson in scuba or anything that we know of. So he digs around a bit more and discovered a couple fake ids that look so real, bunches of knives, and two antique pistols.
When my son got home, we confronted him about everything. We found out he learned how to scuba on his own and do it couple time already, made fake id so he can work toward sky diving certificate and isn’t far from receiving it and wanted to get helicopter piloting license but cannot afford it, and he got antique pistols because he liked them and have no intention on using them out of fear of breaking it.
We know that he work a lot, often he’s in garage almost the whole time he’s home and would work until well past midnight then get up at 4 in the morning and make about $500 to 700 a month when school is in on average and anywhere between 1,000 and 1,500 a month since school was out. Also we know he shops very careful and always buy used items and fix them up if possible instead of buying brand new things.
We’re proud of him for that, but now that we found out he have been making fake id, buying antique pistols, learning sky diving, and going scuba on his own, this really scared us.
My husband wants to take pistols away until he turn 18, take the knives and scuba gear away, and let him get the certificate in sky diving then take the id away. He wants to have closer supervisor over what my son is doing.
I on other hand want to just get every tool out and sell them and keep only what my husband will need and use.
I feel like my son should lose the opportunity of having all those things and doing what he was doing to make money. But my husband says he doesn’t want to deal with my son asking for money all of the time since thing has been really tight for a while and that my son was just being a kid and could have done much worse if he wanted to, so a warning is enough.
This has been causing a lot of tension between everyone lately and my son is clinging to my husband’s side which isn’t helping at all! I don’t know what to do.

Question #14:

Where to buy my scuba equipment?

I recently got into scuba....I absolutely love it.
Got my certification yesterday and am looking into buyin my own gear.
Ive been lectured TONS by the instructors at my dive shop about the dangers from buying gear online.
But the truth of the matter is, I cant afford the prices in the shop!
Is it really as bad as they say it is to buy from a site, say Click Here ?
Thanks tons!

ALSO!!
any recommendations on gear for a beginner is much welcomed!
thanks you!

Question #15:

should i spend all my money on scuba diving gear?? Or should i save it for the future?

I don;t know whether to spend $2000 on Scuba Gear, or save it for the future for things like uni or a car? I have been thinking about it for a while and just need an outside opinion. Thanks
another thing is that i really enjoy scuba diving and i really want my own gear, and i don't want to continue waisting my money renting gear whan i can have my own. If i have my own then i can go out with the dive club for about $20, instead of $100 with the local store. I really am not sure.

Question #16:

"Men are supposed to be made out of steel or something...."?

This was a line from the movie Steel Magnolias as M'Lynn and her husband Drum waited for the news of their daughter's inevitable death while she lay in a coma in a hospital bed. When Shelby (the daughter) died, you saw M'Lynn go right into gear telling her husband what to do, telling her son-in-law what to do and then after doing that leaves the hospital to rush to the side of her late daughter's toddler. With tear-filled eyes and a heavy heart, she went right into doing what needed to be done and the guys did what? They did what she told them to do. There were things to be done and there really was no time to grieve until the affairs of a death are taken care of, but women SO often have to backburner everything they're feeling to "do what we gotta do".

Seeing this movie recently caused me reflect on something that I really didn't learn until adulthood. In most homes, the strength of the family rests its burden on the woman's shoulders be they single, wife, or mother. When it comes to death, illness, co-parenting issues or any other critical decision that has to be made, why does alot of this burden get placed on women to get the family through it? WHY IS THIS? Why isn't this a joint effort?

I have witnessed so many situations that you would think a man would demonstrate all of his "he-man" strength and just dive into doing what needs to be done or at least take the "leadership" role that we always hear about but alot of times men seem to become paralyzed when it comes to taking care of very necessary things and the woman has to take over. And mind you, I don't mean help, I mean TAKE OVER.

In my childhood and for much of my young adulthood I always thought that the MEN were supposed to be the strength of the family, you know, the fearless leaders, the shot-callers and all of that. We were supposed to be the "help-meet", RIGHT? Alot of the time women end up being the decison makers, the plan executioner, and the all-around glue of the family. If you don't watch him close, a man will "escape" a situation that he and his wife/woman are both called to deal with and run to the bar or somewhere he can't be found until the problem has worked itself out. WHY IS THAT?
I didn't realize how passive men could be about alot of issues or problems until I faced certain situations in my own life in which I found myself on my own solving problems without the help of men who should have been right there with me.

Is it just me or does anyone else notice this too? Men, please know that women are exhausted and we need your help on things that should be a joint effort. What you may not know is that many times we don't know what to do either......but SOMETHING has to be done, SOME decisions have to be made and we don't have the luxury of bailing. It's no wonder that football players look gleefully into the camera and mouth the words, "Hi Mom" so much more often than you see "Hi Dad".

So is it just a fallacy that "men are made of steel"? Is it a myth that men are the leaders of their households? Or is it the truth that behind every great man is a strong woman putting up with alot of crap because she did all the work, yet he gets to be purported as "the leader". I don't get it.

Before you send your hateful comments, please know in advance that I am generalizing (of course) and that this is absolutely not the case for ALL men.......but for those of you who has ever escaped a problem in the house be it big or small and left your woman to handle it tell me....why do you do that?

Question #17:

Sci-Fi Horror Movie Help?

The movie was shown on the Sci-Fi channel years ago. I don't know if it was just for those few years, but hopefully someone will remember it.

Anyways, the only scene I can remember is the man diving into the water with scuba gear, and swimming around the dead bodies of the women he had put in the lake.

Thank you in advance!

Question #18:

Is he an inconsiderate jerk, or is this all in my head? 10 points for any help :( ?

My boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship since we both went back to our home states after meeting on vacation. I am deeply in love with him.

Okay, here is the problem. Firstly, he always blows me off when I want to talk on the phone or skype. Always without fail. We talk on the phone maybe once every 6 weeks. Seriously. The rest of the time it's texts and facebook.

I have not seen him for almost a year. I work constantly, but I always make time to talk to him. I never go out or get to have fun because I am working to save money to move for college, and also to visit him. He tells me he can't visit me because he has no money. We have been fighting a lot because of the distance, so I would say seeing one another is pretty important.

So, following his speech to me about how he is mean to me (one thing we argue about) because he's under so much stress from not being able to afford school and not having the money to see me. Of course, I understand. Two weeks later, he enrolls in a $1,000 scuba driving course.

I would understand this if perhaps scuba diving was a lifelong dream of his. But in the 4 years I have known him, he has never said anything about it. Never been to a body of water, hasn't even been in a pool. I take it in stride and I don't say anything. A month goes by, he is going to the swim shop every week buying gear and all kinds of stuff. He also buys concert tickets and things like that. I still say nothing.

Then he and his friends go on a 2 day trip to some diving spot. I get peeved, say nothing.

He just had a 4 day weekend off and spent 3 of those days on vacation 4 hours from his house (I live 8 hours from him) at another dive spot.

I am mad and upset and I tell him everything I feel. He gets mad and defensive (like usual) and the conversation ends with him saying he will change. He doesn't. 3 days later, he has blown off another phone call, and as I just find out- he's going on an $800 dive trip to the Bahamas in October.

Also- we were supposed to go to a concert together last year, and he promised he wouldnt go without me, but when I couldnt make it- he ignored me all day and then 5 minutes before it started he sent me a text that he went with his friend. He also once left me for his ex girlfriend. The list goes on and on.

I want to dump him but I feel bad, because I love him so much, I feel a huge sense of loss about what might have been. What do I do?

Question #19:

How to improve your cadence?

More questions, woo!

I could google it, but people on here love answering easy questions. I don't know anyone on here who doesn't purposely answer questions trying to get a higher best answer % or TC badge.

ANYWAYS.

I have only been riding for about a week now. The conditioning is kicking my butt, but I love it. I have been doing maybe 5-10 miles a day. I knew about maintaining high cadence, but when I was trying to do it out on my rides, I was having a hard time. I think I have actually been spinning too fast for my fitness level and it has been making my quads shake.

I think I am too used to riding mountain bikes when I was little. Where you ramp up the speed and coast for awhile. On my 5-10 mile daily rides, I usually maintain about 16-20mph. I think a lot of it is spiking up to 23-24, then coasting down to 16, then ramping back up. It is very rarely consistent cadence.

I know to improve my distance/time/speed I need to learn to sustain a consistent cadence. Would it be better for me to purposely slow down to like 10-13mph but work more on keeping my cadence at like 60rpm, while pushing myself to slowly increase that to 70-80? Then once I have proper cadence over the course of a full ride, I increase the resistance in gears to increase my speed?

I have pretty powerful quads from skiing and diving, but the endurance is lacking. While I don't know if I will ever race, it would be nice to be able to gain some kind of consistency so when I join up in club rides, I can tell them how long I can go at what speed, etc.
