Bugbee hosted Diana's first solo art show at Goat Gallery in Chicago in Dec. 1994. In 1992 <mask> became an agent of Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy art, eventually publishing Gacy's bio "A Question of Doubt". <mask> met his now ex-wife Amy in 1994 at the Goat Gallery, and the two married in 1996. A self-proclaimed expert in the subject of serial killers, Bugbee has spoken extensively on the subject, even touring a collection of artifacts including Ed Gein's tombstone.These "side show" style speaking engagements have drawn criticism as exploitive and over the edge. Salem, Massachusetts Mayor Stanley Usovicz tried to stop one event, calling it "an outrage" after <mask> displayed Ed Gein's truck in the center of Salem's downtown area. Starting in 2001, he organized and extensively promoted a new tour entitled "The Angry White Male" tour. featuring not only Mike Dianna, but controversial zine writer Jim Goad and decorated with confederate flags. <mask> created his own blueberry soda pop, Ely Soda. The popularity of the soda led to wider revelation of <mask>'s other entrepreneurial and artistic endeavors, eventually ending in controversy and exile. Angry White Male Tour

From Nov. 4 2007 until Nov. 5, 2008 <mask> embarked on a year long road trip called A Year At The Wheel  covering art, politics, religion and revolution which culminated into a book and documentary release. <mask> talked to many along the way from small town workers to Timothy Wyllie of the Process Church of the Final Judgment settled in a small beach town in 2008 in the southeast corner of Washington state after the road trip. Shortly after arriving he began using sculpture as a medium of expression, producing dozens of works which have been exhibited in various shows. He was interviewed about his art in ArtSync magazine in 2011. He interviewed Dagon from the black metal band  Inquisition.and Nergal from  Behemoth on the nature of Christianity and Catholicism in Poland. he also interviewed Portland Artist Jesse Reno on art, dangerous art, censorship, and how one would define art.

The show included additional musical guests. it received mixed reviews.Additionally in 2014, he and a partner developed a concept for an underground news show called "Counterculture" with Natalia Garcia that was pitched to Showtime and other networks although the project was not picked up. Natalia Garcia later left to continue working on her series Polyamory. The pilot included a tour of the Ku Klux Klan Museum, interviews with Charles Manson's wife 'Star' as she planted trees for ATWA, and Frank Kozik, as well as an interview with Karla LaVey. The pitch was to follow three topics and show both left and right, along with the decay of American culture including interviews with Chicago Occupy Wallstreet protestors. In October 2015, Bugbee with fellow artist and friend Dave Archer, did a show at AFRU Gallery in Portland, the exhibit titled "Black Magic House Blessings and Fukushima Death Curses" featuring his sculptures and Dave Archer's wood burnings. It received favorable reviews in local press. In 2018, he started a new Podcast entitled "Love, Loss, and Despair", addressing among other things his recent divorce, the publishing of Might is Right, his first encounters and meeting with Katja Lane wife of White Nationalist David Lane, the failure of "A Year at The Wheel" to lock-in a final edit, his rivalry with artist Steven Johnson Leyba, and his admission into the Church of Satan.Media appearances

He was head coach of the Denver Nuggets in the NBA for slightly over two seasons, from 2002 until he was fired near the end of 2004. He also served as a college head coach at UMBC, Air Force, Colorado, and Wake Forest. Early life
<mask> earned four varsity letters while playing basketball at the University of Illinois-Chicago, and was named team MVP in 1975–76. He also spent six years in the Army National Guard. Coaching career

Early career in college basketball
<mask> began his coaching career in 1978 as an assistant at Davidson College in North Carolina. He moved to Northwestern University in 1980, where he spent six seasons as an assistant, helping the Wildcats to their first NIT appearance in school history.He then took the head coaching position at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County for two years. Move to NBA as assistant
Washington Bullets coach Wes Unseld hired Bzdelik as an assistant in 1988. He stayed there until Unseld resigned in 1994. He then took a scouting position with Pat Riley and the New York Knicks before moving with Riley to the Miami Heat the next season as an assistant coach and advance scout. In 1997, Sports Illustrated named Bzdelik the NBA's best advance scout. In 2000, USA Today named him one of the NBA's top five assistants. Denver Nuggets
Bzdelik was hired in 2001 by the Denver Nuggets to be their East Coast scout.He was promoted to assistant coach in July 2002 and impressed team management by going 6–0 in the Rocky Mountain Revue summer league and motivating the team's young players. He was named the head coach of the Nuggets on August 21, 2002. The team

 struggled in his first year, winning just 17 games. They bounced back in his second season to finish with 43 wins, reaching the postseason for the first time since 1995, before losing in the first round to eventual Western Conference finalist Minnesota. The Nuggets improved their win total by 26 games – the most ever by a team that won less than 20 games the year before and at the time the sixth-best single-season improvement in NBA history. His team also became the first in the history of the NBA to go from less than 20 wins to the playoffs the next year (since going to an 82-game schedule in 1976). The team had high expectations in his third year after signing Kenyon Martin as a free agent.The Nuggets, though, struggled out of the gate to a 13–15 start and <mask> was fired on December 28, 2004. Air Force Academy
On May 18, 2005, Bzedlik signed a multiyear contract to become the head coach at the US Air Force Academy. The team made a first round NCAA tournament appearance – just the fourth in school history – his first year after finishing with the best record (24–7) in the program's 50-year history. The Falcons have not appeared in the NCAA tournament since. The next year, they surpassed the record from the previous year by winning 26 games and made it to the NIT semifinals. Colorado
Bzdelik left Air Force on April 4, 2007, to become the head basketball coach for the Colorado Buffaloes for three seasons. In his third and final season at CU, <mask>'s team finished the regular season with four wins in its last six games.A first-round loss to Texas Tech in the Big 12 Tournament ended the Buff's season and left the team with a 15–16 record, their third straight losing season under Bzdelik.

 coach at Wake Forest University, inheriting a successful team that was 21–12 the previous season, and had made back to back NCAA Tournament appearances. He resigned from Wake Forest in March 2014. His records at Wake Forest were 8–24 (2010–11), 13–18 (2011–12), 13–18 (2012–13) and 17–16 (in his final season in 2013–14). Memphis Grizzlies
On July 31, 2014, <mask> was signed by the Memphis Grizzlies to be an assistant coach. The Grizzlies completed the regular season 55–27, tied for the fifth-best record in the entire NBA. During his 19 years in the NBA, Bzdelik served as a head or assistant coach for 12 teams that advanced to the playoffs.Houston Rockets
On June 1, 2016, <mask> became associate head coach of the Houston Rockets, joining the staff of newly appointed head coach Mike D'Antoni. "It stood out to us that he had so much head coaching experience," Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said. "That level of experience and gravitas really helps when you are explaining the battle plan. Second, the coaching tree he comes from is second to none. And there was a lot of respect from being the primary guy with the Memphis defense." One of the least-discussed plots was the fact that head coach Mike D'Antoni willingly accepted a "defensive coordinator" with the addition of <mask>. D'Antoni brought the glitz, the glamor and the stats to Houston, while Bzdelik has helped keep the team from having a one-track mind."Players hear one voice offensively and one voice defensively," D'Antoni said recently when talking about <mask>'s role on the NBA A-Z podcast. Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle wrote, "It adds up to (Bzdelik's) place on D'Antoni's right, with respect and freedom to more than run the defense, but to change the mindset of the team happy to fire away but that has come to understand

 D'Antoni in the 2018 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.The Rockets lost the Conference Finals to the eventual NBA champion Golden State Warriors in seven games. Star guard Chris Paul missed Games 6 and 7 of that series with a hamstring injury. Defensively, the Rockets were "inconsistent in the first half of the season, but had the third-rated defense in the NBA since Harden and Luc Mbah a Moute returned from injuries in mid-January at roughly the mid-point of the season." During the season, Bzdelik was profiled by VICE Sports. "In over a dozen interviews with coaches, players, and basketball executives who have worked with Bzdelik, the portrait of a hyper-driven, beloved, and tactically adept coach who has stockpiled inestimable reams of information over the course of an astounding career emerges." Hall of Fame coach and executive Pat Riley, who worked with Bzdelik in both New York and Miami, said, "I can't think of a man in the NBA that has more experience, more knowledge, more wisdom about how to defend in the contemporary game today, than <mask>. I was just always impressed with his scouting reports.He was very detailed. Very neat. Things were logical and coherent. He had all the right calls. We knew what the other team was gonna run." On September 17, 2018, <mask> announced his retirement from coaching in the NBA. On November 5, 2018, <mask> agreed to return to the Rockets.At the time, Houston was ranked 21st in the league on defense after being sixth the year before. On May 18, 2019, <mask> was let go by the Rockets during the off-season. Prior to this, he had publicly been noncommittal to returning in following seasons. New Orleans Pelicans

<mask> (born 1965) is an American academic, social theorist, editor, and professor of sociology at New York University, who has published widely on development, social theory, and politics. Chibber is the author of two books, Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital (Verso, 2013) and Locked in Place: State-Building and Late Industrialization in India (Princeton, 2003). In 2017, Chibber launched Catalyst: A Journal of Theory and Strategy, with Robert Brenner, published by Jacobin magazine. Early life and education
Chibber was born in India in 1965, and moved to the United States in 1980, where he has lived since. He completed a BA in political science in 1987 at Northwestern University. In 1999, he finished his PhD in sociology at the University of Wisconsin, where his dissertation was supervised by Erik Olin Wright. Chibber began as an assistant professor at New York University in 1999, where he is now a full professor.Career

Chibber’s first book, Locked in Place, attempted to answer why some countries were able to build "developmental states" in the decades after World War II while others were not. He argued that the literature on developmental state had unduly ignored the constraints that class power imposed on state-building, particularly the power and influence of domestic capitalists. Chibber showed that the main reason Indian industrial policy only met with middling success was that domestic capital blocked attempts to build an effective planning apparatus. Whereas in South Korea, the state managed to build an alliance with domestic business houses around industrial planning. Chibber’s book was widely acclaimed and won several awards including, in 2005, Barrington Moore Book Award, and honorable mention for the American Sociological Association’s Distinguished Publication Prize. Criticism of postcolonialism

Soon after Locked in Place, Chibber's agenda took a turn when, in 2006, he published "On the Decline of Class Analysis in South Asian Studies" in Critical Asian Studies. This article examined the sociological conditions for the decline of class analysis and its displacement by postcolonial theory

<mask> FRS (1785 – 5 November 1857) was a professor of chemistry at the Royal Cork Institution from 1813 and at the Royal Dublin Society from 1826. He discovered acetylene, as it was later named by Marcellin Berthelot. He was also an original member of the Chemical Society, and a member of the Royal Irish Academy. Family and early life

<mask> was a cousin of <mask>, the famous chemist who invented the <mask> lamp for the safety of miners. <mask>, the son of <mask>, was born in Penzance, Cornwall, and lived there throughout his teen years. He moved to London in 1804 to spend eight years as operator and assistant to <mask> in the Royal Institution laboratory, which he kept in order. For a large part of that time, <mask> was also superintendent of the Royal Society's mineralogical collection.When, in October 1807, Humphry accomplished the electrolytic preparation of potassium and saw the minute globules of the quicksilver-like metal burst through the crust and take fire, <mask> described that his cousin was so delighted with this achievement that he danced about the room in ecstasy. Humphry <mask>'s younger brother, Dr. <mask>, (24 May 1790 – 24 Jan 1868) also was a chemist who spent some time (1808–1811) assisting Humphry in his chemistry research at the Royal Institution. John was the first to prepare and name phosgene gas. <mask> <mask> (born in 1826), son of <mask>, became professor of medicine in the Royal College, Dublin, in 1870. That they cooperated in research is shown in a notice to the Royal Irish Academy on the manufacture of sulphuric acid which <mask> ends with an acknowledgement of the assistance he received in his experiments given by his son, <mask> <mask>.

 platinum
<mask> was the first to discover a spongy form of platinum with remarkable gas absorptive properties. Justus Liebig later prepared this in a purer form able to absorb up to 250 times its volume of oxygen gas.Further, <mask> discovered that even at room temperature, finely divided platinum would light up from heat in the presence of a mixture of coal gas and air. In another such experiment, in 1820, he found that with the platinum, alcohol vapours were converted to acetic acid. (Humphry <mask> had discovered a few years earlier that a hot platinum wire lit up in a mixture of coal gas and air.) This release of energy from oxidation of the compounds, without flame, and without change in the platinum itself, was a sign of the catalytic property of platinum investigated later by Johann Döbereiner and other chemists. Corrosion
In 1829, <mask> found that the use of zinc blocks would prevent corrosion of the iron structure of buoys. In the Report of the British Association for 1835 he was the first to publish a series of experiments investigating the protective power of zinc employed in simple contact and in massive form. Shortly thereafter a French engineer, M. Sorel, secured a patent for a process of coating an iron surface with fluid zinc to protect against rust, and the technique was adopted by manufacturers of galvanized iron.<mask> claimed priority of discovery, but it was found that a patent had long before been issued, on 26 September 1791 to Madame Leroi de Jancourt for the protection of metals with a coating of an alloy of zinc, bismuth and tin (though without a knowledge of the chemical principles involved). This is an example of cathodic protection, an electrochemical technique developed

 in 1824 by Humphry <mask> to prevent galvanic corrosion. He had recommended that the Admiralty should attach iron blocks to protect the copper sheathing on the hulls of Navy vessels. (The method was shortly discontinued because of an unfortunate side effect - the speed of the ships was reduced by increased fouling by marine life. The protective method reduced the release of copper ions that had otherwise poisoned the organisms and controlled their growth.) Electrochemistry
<mask> made a series of experiments to detect the presence of metallic poisons by means of electricity, as a test of the presence of poisonous substances in cases of suspected poisoning. He applied a current of electricity to precipitate the salts of various metallic poisons from a prepared solution.The method was valuable because the result was not affected by the presence of organic matter from the contents of the stomach. When used as a test, <mask> claimed that the presence of only 1/2500th part of a grain of arsenic could be discovered. Acetylene
In 1836, <mask> discovered a gas which he recognised as "a new carburet of hydrogen." It was an accidental discovery while attempting to isolate potassium metal. By heating potassium carbonate with carbon at very high temperatures, he produced a residue of what is now known as potassium carbide, (K2C2), which reacted with water to release the new gas. (A similar reaction between calcium carbide and water was subsequently widely used for the manufacture of acetylene.) In the paper he read to the British Association at Bristol, <mask> anticipated the value of acetylene as an illuminating gas: "From the brilliance with which the new gas burns in contact with the atmosphere it is, in the

 opinion of the author, admirably adapted for the purpose of artificial light, if it can be procured at a cheap rate."Thereafter it was forgotten until Marcellin Berthelot rediscovered this hydrocarbon compound in 1860, for which he coined the name "acetylene." Chemistry in agriculture
<mask> was active in promoting scientific knowledge, whereby popular courses of lectures were established throughout Ireland. In some of his own lectures at the Royal Dublin Society, <mask> showed his special interest in the applications of chemistry in agriculture. He published several papers concerning manures and chemical aids useful to farmers. These included "An Essay on the Use of Peat or Turf as a Means of Promoting Public Health and the Agriculture of the United Kingdom" (1850), and "An account of some Experiments made to determine the relative deodorizing Powers of Peat-charcoal, Peat, and Lime" (1856). He also studied the uptake of arsenic by crops from artificial manures chemically prepared with sulphuric acid in which it was not usual to have arsenic as an impurity. Testing the growth of plants, he found "that arsenic might be taken up in considerable quantities by plants without destroying their vitality, or appearing even to interfere with their proper functions."He understood that arsenic was a cumulative poison, and that with continued consumption the "substance may collect in the system till its amount may exercise an injurious effect on the health of men and animals."

In the 1960s, <mask> represented groups including Peter Frampton's group The Herd and went on to create designs for such music business clients as the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney as well as brands such as Levi's, Lucky Strike, Subaru and British American Racing. With Alwyn W. Turner, <mask> is the author of Welcome To Big Biba. In 2008, <mask> was the subject of the exhibition Big Biba And Other Stories at London gallery Chelsea Space. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Chipping Norton. He attended Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, west London, and studied painting at Chelsea School of Art, supplementing his grant with work as a male model and waiter at restaurants on the adjacent King's Road.He also helped realise the psychedelic design by art collective Binder Edwards & Vaughn for the façade of Chelsea boutique Dandie Fashions. Among <mask>'s art school teachers were the prominent British artists Patrick Caulfield, Allen Jones, and John Hoyland, from whom he developed a "love of Pop Art and my obsession with the complexities of colour". Design work for music
On graduation, <mask> formed a design practice with fellow student Whitmore. Among Whitmore-Thomas Design's early commissions was the back cover of the Rolling Stones' 1970 live album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!,  which was completed within 48 hours to meet the record company Decca's deadline for the record release. <mask> later related that this was given Mick Jagger's seal of approval with the utterance "I dig your work, man." <mask> also created a record sleeve for Three Week Hero, an LP by PJ Proby and a rare cartoon cover for the obscure

 progressive rock outfit Rumpelstiltskin scripted by journalist/columnist Angus McGill. Biba Cosmetics poster and Big Biba
In the late 60s, <mask> designed a poster to promote a new range of cosmetics from Biba, the boutique operated by Barbara Hulanicki and her husband Stephen "Fitz" Fitz-Simon, at that stage situated at 124-126 Kensington Church Street.The poster, featuring a wistful portrait of the veiled actress Ingrid Boulting taken by Sarah Moon won a 1970  British Design Council award. Whitmore-<mask> restyled the children’s department within the Biba store and, with the launch of Biba Cosmetics, designed display units installed in concessions around the country. In 1971, as Hulanicki and Fitz-Simon set about planning the expansion of their business into the large block previously operated as Derry & Tom's at 107-111 Kensington High Street, Whitmore-<mask> was commissioned to handle the designs for the entire store, including interiors, signage, giant display items and graphic designs for the hundreds of own-brand product lines. The distinctive department logos were designed by illustrator Kasia Charko. On opening in September 1973, Big Biba was described by The Sunday Times as "the most beautiful store in the world". Big Biba closed in August 1975 after falling victim to a combination of over-ambition, in-fighting between the company's executives and the backers, property developer British Land and the UK's mid-70s economic recession. Paul McCartney
The work for Big Biba drew a fresh set of commissions for Whitmore-<mask>, including Paul McCartney, who appointed the practice as in-house designers for his domestic and business interests, including the headquarters of McCartney's company PML in central London's Soho Square (complete with a recreation of his favourite Abbey Road studio in the basement), as well as recording studios in Sussex and on the Mull of Kintyre and private residences in London, Liverpool, Sussex and Scotland.Whitmore-<mask>

title: Betty (slave)

texts:
<mask> (c. 1738 – 1795) was a biracial enslaved woman owned by Martha Washington. She was owned by the Custis Estate and worked at Daniel Parke Custis' plantation, the White House, on the Pamunkey River in New Kent County, Virginia. Custis married Martha Dandridge (later Martha Washington) in 1750 and, when he died in 1757, <mask> became one of Martha's dower slaves whom she brought to George Washington's plantation, Mount Vernon, after the Washington marriage in 1759. <mask> worked at Mount Vernon until she died. <mask> was the mother of Ona Judge, who escaped from the Washingtons. <mask> worked as a seamstress both at the White House and Mount Vernon plantations. Her story exemplifies the sexual vulnerability that enslaved women faced.Early life
<mask> was of mixed European and African heritage. Since <mask> was born enslaved, her mother would have been of African descent as slavery was inherited through the mother per the law of partus sequitur ventrem. As <mask>'s mother had a child with a white man, her mother was most likely a slave in the domestic sphere, as that occupation would have caused <mask>'s mother to be in close proximity to white men. <mask> was born circa 1738 and spent her childhood cared for by someone besides her mother as enslaved parents worked sunup to sundown and only had time with their children at night. Enslaved children younger than twelve did not work with their parents and did not yet have specified occupations. Instead, their owners had them do chores, like collecting water and firewood, or taking care of younger enslaved children. Because enslaved children did not typically work as long as adults, they did not receive shoes or blankets, and were often forced to share blankets with their family members.Enslaved children were also given less

 than the normal food ration and often helped to grow gardens so their family could have more food than just the meager rations they were provided. As with many other slaves, <mask> likely only had one set of clothes for the whole year. Children like <mask> were given shifts to wear. Life at the Custis Plantation
By the time she was a pre-adolescent, around 11–14 years old, <mask> trained to be a seamstress, a skilled occupation that gave her a higher status among the enslaved workforce at the White House. <mask> started work before sunrise and ended work after the sun went down. Slaves working in the domestic sphere, like seamstresses, were often biracial. As a seamstress, <mask> was not only tasked with making clothes for her master and his family, but also for other enslaved people on the plantation.The master and his families' clothes would have been made with materials like silk, cotton, or anything that the master could afford, while slaves' clothes tended to be made from linen or wool, which were much cheaper materials. <mask> would also have been tasked with repairing clothes of both the enslaved people and her master and his family. As an enslaved domestic worker, <mask> worked closely with Martha Custis (Washington) both at the White House plantation and at Mount Vernon. <mask> was one of Martha's favorite slaves and while working at the White House, "<mask> watched... [Martha Washington] survive the sudden loss of her first husband" and two of her four children. She also saw her meet and marry George Washington. While working at the Custis plantation, <mask> gave birth to her first child, Austin, at the age of nineteen in 1757. Austin's father is unknown, but it is likely that his father was white as Austin was reported to have lighter skin.Since lighter skin was

 favored for domestic occupations, Austin worked as a waiter for the Washingtons. Move to Mount Vernon
Daniel Parke Custis died in 1757, leaving Martha Custis a very rich widow. As part of Martha's widow dower share she received 84 slaves from the Custis estate. Scholar Erica Dunbar notes that the death of an owner would have made 21-year-old <mask> nervous, as slaves were often sold and families separated in order to pay off any outstanding debts their owner may have had. Luckily for <mask>, she and her two-year-old son, Austin, were not separated and Martha Washington picked both of them to go to Mount Vernon with her in 1759. At the time of <mask>'s and Austin's move to Mount Vernon, together the two of them were worth sixty pounds. Eventually a total of 155 slaves from the Custis estate were brought to Mount Vernon.Dunbar notes that <mask>'s anxieties would not have subsided with her move to the new Virginia plantation, as she was likely nervous about the sexual vulnerability she faced with her new owner. Dunbar writes that at 21, <mask> was the perfect age for childbearing, and she did not know how Washington would treat her. It was never recorded that George Washington sexually abused any of his slaves, but <mask> was still vulnerable to exploitation by other men at Mount Vernon, as well as at the White House plantation. Life at Mount Vernon

At Mount Vernon, <mask> was part of the 6% mixed race (of mixed European and African descent) population at the plantation. <mask> spent her entire day working primarily as a seamstress and spinner, but she also cooked and cleaned. Since <mask> worked at the Mansion House, the domestic part of the estate, she was likely to be seen by visitors and so she was clothed better than her enslaved field working counterparts. <mask> wore

texts: simple, ankle-length dresses that were made out of cheaper material, like linen or wool.<mask> also had an apron, cap, stockings, and shoes. As a seamstress, like at the White House plantation, <mask> was tasked with making clothes for her owners as well as for other slaves. She would make clothing for enslaved individuals, mostly out of linen and wool, according to the clothing ration Washington allocated for his enslaved people. Each week, <mask> had to make a certain percentage of clothes or she would have been punished. During her time at Mount Vernon, it is not exactly clear where <mask> lived. She possibly lived in a log cabin or in a brick building, called the "House of Families," which was the predominant slave quarter at the Mansion House. Domestic slaves were kept close to the Washingtons' home and <mask>'s possible living space was only 300 feet away.Only skilled, domestic slaves lived at the "House of Families," and it was located on "the north lane of outbuildings, directly across from the blacksmiths' shop." It was two stories tall and had chimneys. From archaeological evidence, it appears that slaves living at the "House of Families" cooked "one-pot meals" that consisted of low-grade meat and cornmeal, as well as any vegetables or fruits that they had grown in their gardens. Washington only provided his enslaved people rations of pork and cornmeal. In 1792–1793, the "House of Families" was destroyed. It was replaced with one-story quarters built next to where the "House of Families" used to be. These new quarters were 2,800 square feet and held sixty people in four rooms.Each room had one fireplace, one door, and some kind of bunk beds. Washington built these new quarters so that he could keep a closer eye on his enslaved people. The housing situation at

title: Betty (slave)

texts: Mount Vernon reveals a hierarchy, as slaves were housed according to their occupation. Skilled slaves tended to be housed in brick buildings at the Mansion House, while field workers were instead housed in log or wood cabins at the different farms in which they worked. Mount Vernon consisted of five farms. While at Mount Vernon, <mask> had four more children: Tom Davis (born 1769), <mask> (born 1771), Ona Judge (born 1774 and died 1848), and Philadelphia (born 1780 and died 1831). Tom and <mask> were the children of Thomas Davis, a white man who worked at Mount Vernon as a weaver.Ona Judge was the daughter of Andrew Judge who was from England. Philadelphia's father is unknown, but in 1807 she was freed from slavery and married William Costin, an abolitionist and free man, who was the son of an enslaved woman, Ann Dandridge, and whose father was John Dandridge, the father of Martha Dandridge Custis Washington. While <mask> had five children total, as a slave she would have been separated from her children for most of the day. <mask> also had "little control... over the lives of...[her] children." Austin and Ona were selected by George and Martha Washington to accompany them to New York and Philadelphia after Washington was elected President. There was nothing <mask> could do about this, and her children were forced to be separated from her because they were Martha Washington's property and she could do whatever she wanted with them. Every child <mask> had enriched the Washingtons' and the Custis Estate, as children and young adults provided more enslaved labor.The number of children that <mask> had and the varying white fathers may illustrate the sexual vulnerability that enslaved women faced, especially when they worked in the domestic sphere, which put them in close

 proximity to many white men, not just their owner. (See, for example, the biographies of Alice Clifton, Jane the Runaway, Bridge Town, and Winney Grimshaw.) Relationship with Andrew Judge
Andrew Judge, the father of <mask>'s daughter, Ona, came to the colonies in 1772 from England as an indentured servant. Washington bought Judge's labor, and Judge worked as a tailor at Mount Vernon. <mask> was around 34 years old when Judge arrived at Mount Vernon and she likely met him due to the work that they both did with textiles and tailoring. Judge eventually worked off his indentured servitude and left Mount Vernon in the 1780s. We do not know if their relationship was consensual.Later life and death

While her children Austin and Ona were working in Philadelphia, <mask> labored at Mount Vernon. She became a grandmother to eighteen grandchildren. However, tragedy struck in 1794 when her son, Austin, drowned while traveling back to Virginia from Philadelphia. Erica Dunbar states that this "news was too much for Austin's mother [<mask>] to bear." <mask> at this point was fatigued by her lifelong work as a slave and had been sick. She eventually died at Mount Vernon in 1795, around 57 years old. Of her death George Washington said "It is happy for old <mask>, and her children and friends, that she is taken of[f] the stage; her life must have been miserable to herself, and troublesome to all those around her."<mask> never escaped the bonds of slavery and labored at the White House plantation and Mount Vernon for her entire life. However, two of her daughters, Ona Judge Staines and Philadelphia Costin, did escape their bonds and lived out their lives as free women of color. References

His daughter was <mask>, who was the wife of Emperor Kang of Jin and empress dowager to three subsequent emperors. He was originally a mid-level ranking official in the dynasty but held a number of important posts after his daughter became empress. However, he was cautious of his influence and refused to monopoly power in the court, isolating himself to border command instead. In 349, he led a northern expedition, the first of a series that continued into the 350s, but was defeated by the Later Zhao commander Li Nong at Dai Slope (代陂, east of present-day Tengzhou, Shandong) and died in shame shortly after.

 was called a "Chunqiu critic" by Huan Yi, as he does not openly pass judgement on others but would appraise them inwardly. The future Prime Minister of Jin, Xie An was a great admirer of him and praised him by saying, "Although <mask>u doesn't speak, the working of the four seasons is nonetheless complete." When Sima Yue was still the Prince of Langya, he married with Pou's daughter, <mask>zi, and <mask>u later became the Prefect of Yuzhang  (豫章郡; around present-day Nanchang, Jiangxi).During Emperor Kang and Emperor Mu's reigns
Emperor Cheng died in 342, and Sima Yue ascended the throne. The now Emperor Kang made <mask>zi his empress and summoned her father to Jiankang to make him Palace Attendant and Master of Writing. However, <mask>u was not keen in accepting his positions in the capital, as he feared he would hold too much power for being the empress's father. Instead, he requested to be assigned away from the capital, so Emperor Kang had him positioned in Banzhou where he served as Inspector of Jiangzhou. During his farewell banquet at Banqiao, an assassination attempt was made by Sima Wuji (司馬無忌) on a guest, Wang Qizhi (王耆之), but <mask>u ordered the guards to restrain him and saved Qizhi. Despite his insistence to remain away from the court, he was eventually summoned back to Jiankang to serve in the capital in 343. He refused to further take any more offices in Jiankang, so in 344, he was made Inspector of Yanzhou and set out for Jincheng (金城, in modern-day Yongji, Shaanxi).Emperor Kang died that same year and was succeeded by <mask>'s grandson, Emperor Mu of Jin.

 still young, He Chong believed that being the empress's father, <mask> should involve himself more in the court, so He sent a petition calling for <mask> to assist him in the affairs of the Masters of Writing. <mask> was showered with many offices and was allowed to retain his old ones, but <mask> feared that this would only result in criticism from the other ministers. He asked to be given a border post instead, so the court sent him to Jingkou where he held command over Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou and two commandaries in Yangzhou. <mask> was once again summoned to Jiankang to be made Inspector of Yangzhou and chief of affairs of the Masters of Writing. However, he refused to take them and returned to his post after the ministers Liu Xia (劉遐) and Wang Huzhi (王胡之) told him to do so in order to give Sima Yu more responsibility in the state's affair. In 346, <mask> recommended both Gu He (顧和) and Yin Hao to office.Gu He refused but Yin Hao, initially refusing as well, was persuaded to take up his new post. Northern expedition and death
In 349, a military expedition to the north was ripe as Later Zhao descended into civil war between Shi Hu's family after his death. As news reached the south, <mask>u submitted a petition asking to lead a campaign against Zhao. With readied troops, he marched to Sikou (泗口, located at Xuzhou, Jiangsu) where he planned his next move. There were doubts cast about <mask>u being the one to lead the campaign as he was holding very important positions at the time, and it would be better if someone else were to take his place.

The Zhao general, Li Nong, who was sharing power with Shi Min over the Zhao emperor, Shi Jian, personally led his army and attacked Wang Kan at Dai Slope.

The defeat at Dai Slope was humiliating for <mask>u.He asked himself to be demoted, but the court only ordered him to return to Jingkou and removed him from the position of commander. Many Chinese had openly fled in thousands to the south after hearing <mask>u had led troops to help them, but after he was defeated, many of them were defenceless and were slaughtered by the Zhao army as a result. <mask> arrived at Jingkou and saw many people in mourning. After asking why they were that way, he found out that most of their relatives had died at Dai Slope. <mask> felt shame and grew ill because of this.

 task force in order to address the issue that President Bush, instead of vetoing bills passed by Congress that he finds objectionable, signs the bill, but attaches statements that indicates intentions not to follow certain provisions.<mask> and the ABA responded to this by saying that the president's signing statements revoke Congress's constitutional authority to check and balance the executive power. This is highly significant because all American presidents in office before President Bush have issued a combined total of 600 signing statements. Bush, however, has issued 800 signing statements over a 5½ year period during his term. Previous presidents, such as George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, have issued signing statements as well; however, these presidents only expressed disapproval of certain provisions in a bill, but did not assert the right to ignore them. The report released by the task force declared, "The Constitution is not what the President says it is." The task force that <mask> created was bipartisan. The participants included <mask>, Mickey Edwards, and Bruce Fein.Personal life and education

<mask> (; born 3 March 1956) is a Polish former footballer and manager as well as current UEFA vice-president. A former midfielder, who was also capable of playing mostly as a right winger and second striker, he is considered one of the greatest Polish players of all time, and was selected by Pelé as one of the 100 best living footballers in 2004. In an 80-cap international career, he scored 24 goals and played at three consecutive World Cups, helping Poland to 3rd place in 1982 and making the Team of the Tournament. His greatest achievements in club football were at Juventus in Italy, winning the Serie A, Coppa Italia, European Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup, and European Super Cup between 1983 and 1985, being the first Polish footballer to win a confederation title and one of the first Central and Eastern European players to do so with a non-conational club. In the early 1990s he managed several Italian clubs, and also the Polish national team in 2002. In 2019 he was inducted in the Italian Football Hall of Fame. Club career
<mask> was born in Bydgoszcz.He first played for Polish clubs Zawisza Bydgoszcz and later at Widzew Łódź. <mask> transferred to Italian football giants Juventus in 1982. With Juventus he won the Coppa Italia in his first season, also managing a second-place finish in the league and reaching the 1983 European Cup Final in the same season. The following season, his performances proved decisive, as Juventus won both the Serie A title and the Cup Winners' Cup in 1984, with <mask> scoring the matching-winning goal in the 2–1 victory over Porto in the final of the latter tournament in Basel; he followed up these victories by claiming the European Super Cup later that year, scoring twice in the 2–0 win against Liverpool. He also won the European Cup in 1985, against Liverpool once again, winning the penalty that Michel Platini subsequently converted to win the title for

 Juventus, although the team's victory was overshadowed by the Heysel Disaster. The following season, <mask> joined Roma, where he won a second Coppa Italia in 1986, and eventually ended his professional career with the club in 1988.

International career

<mask> represented the Poland national team in 80 international matches between 1976 and 1988, and scored 24 goals. He took part at the 1978, 1982, and 1986 FIFA World Cups with Poland.Although he initially only appeared as a substitute in Poland's two opening group matches at the 1978 FIFA World Cup, he drew attention to himself when he scored two goals in a 3–1 victory over Mexico in Poland's final match of the group stage, helping his nation top their group; in the second round, however, Poland finished third in their group and were eliminated from the tournament. <mask> later starred in the Polish team that won a bronze medal at the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain: he helped his team reach the semi-finals of the tournament, scoring four goals in the process. In the first round, he scored in a 5–1 win over Peru on 22 June, to help Poland top their group; in the second round, he scored a hat-trick in his nation's 3–0 second round victory over Belgium, in Barcelona, on 28 June, but was forced to miss the semi-final defeat to eventual champions Italy due to a suspension after being booked in the 88th minute of a 0–0 draw against the Soviet Union. He returned to the starting line-up for the victorious third-place match against France and was named to the team of the tournament for his performances throughout the competition. The 1986 FIFA World Cup was less successful, as Poland only qualified for the second round as the second best third-placed team, and were subsequently eliminated in the second round following a 4–0 defeat to Brazil. Style of play
Although <mask> was usually deployed as a midfielder, he was also able to play as a

texts: forward. He preferred to operate between the lines in a free role, although he was a versatile player, capable of playing in several offensive and midfield positions on either flank or through the centre, and throughout his career he was deployed as an attacking midfielder, as a right winger, in a playmaking role as a central midfielder, as a centre-forward, or as a second striker; his Juventus manager, Giovanni Trapattoni, however, often struggled to find the most suitable position for him.<mask> was known for his extroverted personality and his trademark moustache, which made him a highly recognisable player. A tall, brave and hard-working footballer with a large, powerful, and slender physique, he was known for his blistering pace, acceleration, and quick reactions. In particular, <mask> was highly regarded for his ability to make sudden attacking runs to beat the defensive line and get on the end of his teammates' long passes, especially those of Michel Platini, with whom he formed a close friendship and formidable partnership at the Turin club, which made him lethal on counterattacks; this prompted Diego Maradona to describe <mask> as the best counterattacking player in the world. A highly talented, creative, intelligent, and skilful footballer, he was one of the best dribblers of his time and also displayed superb technique, flair, and class. Although he was not a particularly prolific player, he was known for his eye for goal, and as his clinical finishing with either foot, as well as his head, which enabled him to maintain a consistent goalscoring rate throughout his career; he also earned a reputation for having the tendency to score decisive goals for his team in key matches. Despite his ability, at times he was also criticised, however, for being tactically undisciplined, inconsistent, too static in his movements off the ball, and for not being involved enough in his team's

 play during matches, which led him to struggle against opponents who did not give him a lot of space. The Juventus president at the time of <mask>'s tenure with the club, Gianni Agnelli, nicknamed him Bello di notte ("Beauty at night", which is a play on the title of the Buñuel movie Belle de Jour) because of his excellent performances in European club tournament matches, which were played in the evening; indeed, during continental tournaments, his opponents usually allowed him more space and time on the ball than in Serie A, which allowed him to get forward, undertake individual dribbling runs and score goals himself, or drop deep, link up with midfielders and create chances or provide assists for his teammates, courtesy of his passing, vision, and clever movement.He was also nicknamed Zibì by the Italian press. Towards the end of his career, as he lost his pace, he often functioned in a defensive role as a sweeper. Managerial career
Following his retirement, <mask> pursued a coaching career, but with less success; he also coached in Italy, with stints at Lecce in 1990–91, Bari in 1991–92, Sambenedettese in 1992–93, and Avellino in 1994–96. <mask> has served as vice-president of the Polish Football Association, and in July 2002 he became the manager of Poland. He resigned in December 2002, after just five matches (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats, including a 1–0 home loss against Latvia in a European Championship qualifier). Later career
Following his retirement, <mask> had a successful business career. He later also worked as a pundit and football commentator.According to Polish sources, <mask> had been favoured to become the new Minister of Sport for his country, but he denied the claims and stated that he had no intention of taking the job. In 2004, <mask> was named by Pelé as one of the 125 Greatest Living Footballers, as part of FIFA's centenary celebrations. On 12 October 2009, he

<mask>ngen (1622 – Amsterdam, 26 October 1693) was the Dutch Republic's most experienced diplomat, burgomaster of Amsterdam in 1669, 1672, 1680, 1681, 1683 and 1684, and from 1681 a Dutch East India Company director. He probably was bipolar, becoming unstable after the loss of his fortune in 1688. Life

Early life
<mask> was baptised at home because his father <mask>ngen and mother Catharina Burgh were Remonstrants and did not want to cause a fuss. He was the grandson of <mask>ngen as well as of Albert C. Burgh, both mayors of Amsterdam and heavily involved in the Dutch East India Company. Coenraad grew up near the Sint Antoniesbreestraat in a very multi-religious and multi-ethnic neighbourhood, next to Pieter Lastman. He was taught at the Latin school of Gerhard Johann Vossius and Barlaeus, before commencing studies at the University of Leiden in 1639. In 1642, Hugo de Groot, Swedish envoy in Paris, made Coenraad his secretary and in 1643 <mask> became town clerk in Amsterdam, although he did not feel himself capable.Sweden
About 1650, Van Beuningen felt himself attracted to Spinoza and the Collegiants in Rijnsburg. He lived as simply as possible, without a job, somewhere within the area. In 1652, he was sent on a mission to Queen Christina of Sweden, who was being taught Greek by his schoolfriend Isaac Vossius. In 1654 he travelled to Stade to negotiate an end to an argument about the entry point to the Oresund. The north of Germany was occupied by the Swedes. The Danes tried to control the Elbe, the trade to Hamburg and occupied

texts: theology, history and the natural sciences.He wrote deeply on the consequences of the tropical winds and currents, discussing them with Isaac Vossius. He was on friendly terms with Jan Six and Anna Maria <mask>man. Van Beuningen was interested in the ideas of Descartes and combined this with an interest for mysticism, astrology, Millennialism dream-interpretation and supernatural wonders. He sympathised with Jean de Labadie and the Quakers. In 1672 the Rampjaar, the local theatre, called Schouwburg of Van Campen, was shut during the war with the French, the English and two German bishops, Bernhard von Galen from Münster and Maximilian Henry of Bavaria from Cologne. In 1677 it reopened, after a determined campaign led by Van Beuningen and Joan Hudde, on condition nothing was staged which could be deemed harmful either to public morals or the public church. In 1682, he funded the publication of the work of the mystic Jacob Böhme.In 1686, Van Beuningen married his neighbour, the rich and lewd Jacoba Victoria Bartolotti, many years his junior. Van Beuningen demanded economies by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), proposing measures to introduce more efficient administration and demanding more supervision and sharper observance of the Company's rules in Asia. Conditions were peaceful and so convoys and the maintenance of the VOC's forts were now deemed less necessary. Attacked in his various roles for making these suggestions, he renounced them, but claimed the company's success was the work of its capable administrators in its first

 twenty years. Van Beuningen lost half a million guilder in 1688 through speculation in VOC shares. The funding of the armed invasion of William III in England caused a financial crisis in the Dutch Republic. Following Van Beuningen's resultant madness the city of Amsterdam was appointed his legal guardian.Quickly he was put under custodial care by his colleagues, one of whom was Johannes Hudde. His house in the Hague was taken over in 1690 by the VOC. In his last years Van Beuningen wrote letters to the ecclesiastical authorities about the coming apocalypse, painting Hebrew or Kabbalistic signs on his house at the Amstel. He was locked up nearby and died in poverty on 26 October 1693, leaving 'a cape and two dressing gowns,' a bed, some chairs, a desk, an oval shaped mirror, four old taborets and 'a man's portrait' by Rembrandt valued at seven guilders (three dollars).

Thomas James Laughlin (born February 13, 1971), is an American professional wrestler and promoter better known by the ring name <mask>. He is the owner and promoter of the House of Hardcore (HOH) promotion. <mask> is best known for his tenures with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in the 1990s and early 2000s and with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) (previously the World Wrestling Federation (WWF)), primarily from 2001 to 2010. During this time he held numerous championships including the ECW World Heavyweight Championship (which he held twice, being the only man to capture the title in both the original ECW and WWE's ECW brand). He has also held the ECW World Tag Team Championship and WWF/E Hardcore Championship. Dubbed the "heart and soul" of ECW, Dreamer regularly featured in prominent storylines for the promotion as well as holding a number of back office roles. Dreamer has also appeared for notable promotions such as Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor (ROH), and AAA.After departing from WWE in 2010, <mask> joined Impact Wrestling (then known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling) and was a part of an ECW-inspired stable known as EV 2.0. In 2012, <mask> started his own wrestling promotion called House of Hardcore, named in honor of ECW's former wrestling school of the same name. Since then, <mask> has made sporadic appearances with WWE in 2012, 2015, and 2016, as well as wrestling on the independent circuit. Professional wrestling career

 the business came when he worked in International World Class Championship Wrestling (IWCCW) under the name T.D. Madison. While there he and his storyline brother, G.Q., held the IWCCW Tag Team Championship three times in 1991.He changed his name to <mask>, reportedly after taking his given first name, and adding "<mask>" in tribute to Dusty Rhodes, in 1992 while working in the New England based Century Wrestling Alliance (CWA). While in the CWA, he became its first Heavyweight Champion by defeating "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas in a tournament final held in Wallingford, Connecticut, on November 5, 1992. He held the title for over four months before losing it to The Iron Sheik in Burlington, Vermont. On August 17, 1993, <mask> wrestled a dark match at a WWF Superstars taping in White Plains, NY, losing to The Brooklyn Brawler. NWA Eastern/Extreme Championship Wrestling (1993–2001)

Early appearances (1993–1994)
<mask> joined Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in October 1993 at NWA Bloodfest. His first major gimmick in the company had him wrestling in matches in garish green suspenders and acting as something of a "pretty boy" – at least in relation to the rest of the ECW roster. This gimmick got him soundly booed by crowds, even when he became the first person in wrestling history to kick out of the pin that follows the Superfly Splash of Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka at The Night the Line Was Crossed.Feud with the Sandman (1994–1995)

 by holding a Singapore Cane match between <mask> and the Sandman – with the loser having to take 10 lashes. After losing the match, Dreamer took his lashes, then asked the Sandman for another, causing the crowd to feel sympathy for him as he took the extra, and another. This was a launching point to an angle that ended up blurring the divide between faces and heels in wrestling, as well as start a new way of working the fans, especially the "smarks" – fans with some amount of inside information. In a later match, Dreamer kayfabe accidentally blinded the Sandman, first by knocking a lit cigarette into his eye, then hitting in the other with a Singapore cane. Immediately after, Dreamer seemed to break kayfabe and started aiding the Sandman. He professed that he "didn't mean to do it" and that it was "an accident" as other wrestlers – face and heel – swarmed out to help. The feud continued with Sandman planning to announce his retirement at an ECW show, only to attack Dreamer and reveal he was never actually blind.The feud ended when <mask> defeated the Sandman in a No DQ/No-Holds-Barred match. Feud with Raven (1995–1997)
Though the blind Sandman angle was his first "major" feud in ECW, his later, years-long feud against Raven that started in January 1995 is arguably his most memorable. The two were portrayed as childhood friends who had been competing in different ways their entire lives. Raven's entrance into ECW had him accompanied by Beulah McGillicutty, an overweight girl from their kayfabe childhood who had a crush on Dreamer and was now a Penthouse Pet.

During the course of the feud, Beulah had left Raven and was <mask>'s valet. Throughout 1996, during the feud with Raven, Dreamer was also involved in an additional feud with "Prime Time" Brian Lee, who was brought in as Raven's bodyguard.The two had several encounters that ended with <mask> being chokeslammed through tables. During other fights, the pair brawled outdoors onto the street and into traffic. The feud culminated in a scaffold match at High Incident in October 1996, where <mask> sent Lee off the scaffolding through several tables in the ring below. Various feuds (1997–2001)
After Raven went to World Championship Wrestling, <mask> began a feud with the World Wrestling Federation's Jerry "The King" Lawler. The feud was largely symbolic, with <mask> representing Extreme Championship Wrestling's "new school" style of wrestling as a concept and Lawler (with James E. Cornette) representing the World Wrestling Federation and United States Wrestling Association's more "old school" way of doing things. In 1998, Dreamer had a short feud with The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von), during which they "broke" Beulah's neck. In August 1999 at the Last Show at the Madhouse, on their last night in the company, they cited this incident to get <mask> to accept a challenge for the ECW Tag Team Championship they had won earlier in the night.He did accept, and got the title, but was

 paired with the unexpected partner Raven, who slid into the ring at the last second and made the pin. The team only lasted a short time before it dissolved, with Raven taking the title and choosing Mike Awesome as his new partner. He also, begrudgingly, became World Heavyweight Champion in 2000 by beating Tazz at CyberSlam, only to lose it to Justin Credible just 30 minutes later. When speaking of his title reigns on The Rise and Fall of ECW documentary produced by WWE Home Video, <mask> is quoted as saying:

<mask> stayed with ECW until it folded in 2001, defeating C.W. Anderson in an "I Quit" match at Guilty as Charged – the final pay-per-view – and teaming with Danny Doring in a win over Julio Dinero and EZ Money in the final independent ECW show. World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (2001–2010)

The Alliance (2001–2002)
After ECW closed its doors, Dreamer spent time in various independent leagues throughout the country, such as Jersey All Pro Wrestling and Combat Zone Wrestling before he signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). He was introduced to WWF audiences on the July 9, 2001 episode of Raw as a member of the WCW/ECW Alliance during the Invasion angle.When the angle ended in November, <mask> was sent to the WWF's "farm territory" Heartland Wrestling Association.

 for which he was featured in vignettes and backstage segments showing him in normal situations that were then augmented by "disgusting" antics such as brushing his teeth and his dogs teeth with the same brush and eating food from the floor. However, this angle was short-lived. He soon reverted to his "Innovator of Violence" gimmick in the summer and amassed fourteen reigns as Hardcore Champion. During this time, he was the final person to hold it before it became unified with the Intercontinental Championship in a match with Rob Van Dam at Madison Square Garden. After losing the Hardcore Championship, Dreamer renewed his feud with Raven, defeating him in a Loser Leaves Raw match on June 24 to send him to Raw's sister show, Heat.Dreamer (with a variety of partners) would feud in the fall with Lance Storm and William Regal as he sought revenge for his jaw being broken. <mask> would make his Royal Rumble debut in 2003, bringing weapons with him and breaking Bill DeMott's hand during the match. As 2003 and 2004 went on, Dreamer was used less and less on WWE television, and they began allowing him to take independent bookings and work as color commentator for their developmental territories, Ohio Valley Wrestling, Deep South Wrestling and on occasion Heat. When his performers contract expired, he took a succession of "office jobs" inside World Wrestling Entertainment, including being the number two person in Talent Relations. ECW Original (2005–2007)

He, along with a number of former ECW stars, took part in promotional hype for the event on episodes of Raw and, with The Sandman, he wrestled the Dudley Boyz in the main event. For the 2006 event, he was placed into an angle that had him and Terry Funk – who had been his "mentor" in the early days of the original ECW – at odds with then-heels, Mick Foley and Edge over the meanings of "extreme".The angle ended with a six-person-intergender-tag team match at the pay-per-view where <mask>, Funk, and Beulah McGillicutty lost to Edge, Foley, and Lita. When the ECW brand officially launched on the Sci Fi channel, <mask> and the Sandman were put into one of the brands first feuds, an "old school versus new school" feud, against Test and Mike Knox. In November and December he engaged in a short feud with Daivari and The Great Khali, but Khali was sent to the Raw brand before it could come to a conclusion. Not long after Khali left ECW, The New Breed stable was established, consisting of wrestlers new to ECW: Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von, Matt Striker and Kevin Thorn. In response, a stable of ECW Originals was created, and the teams continued to clash in singles and tag matches, trading wins on the weekly ECW show throughout the spring of 2007, while both sides tried to get CM Punk to side with them. The Originals won a standard-rules four-on-four match at WrestleMania 23, which would be <mask>'s first and only match ever on the maincard of a WrestleMania.

In late 2007, Dreamer took part in the ECW brand's elimination chase to name a number one contender to the ECW Championship. During the series of matches, also involving Stevie Richards, Elijah Burke, and Kevin Thorn he added a bandana, worn on his head, to his ring gear. He received the original one from a young boy with a brain tumor, and from then on began wearing one as a sign of solidarity and strength to anyone going through that struggle. <mask> emerged victorious in the final match against Burke, only to be surprised by ECW's general manager Armando Estrada forcing him to face Big Daddy V, who promptly beat him for the number one contendership. ECW Championship pursuits (2008–2009)
In early 2008, Dreamer would have one of his career highlights. Despite not being featured on television leading up to the Royal Rumble, Dreamer would receive a loud ovation and chants from his hometown MSG crowd even with Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker in the match.In February, <mask> was paired with ECW brand enhancement talent Colin Delaney as a sort of mentor after Delaney was consistently and easily defeated on the weekly ECW television show. They challenged The Miz and John Morrison for the WWE Tag Team Championship after they defeated them in a non-title match, but they lost the title match in an Extreme rules match in March.

Following Mark Henry's ECW Championship win at Night of Champions, <mask> was named his first challenger. At The Great American Bash, <mask> was defeated by Henry for the championship after Colin Delaney turned on him and cost him the match. On the following ECW, <mask> defeated Delaney and again on August 12, 2008, in an Extreme Rules Grudge Match which would be Delaney's final match in the WWE.<mask> then turned his attention to Jack Swagger, who made disparaging remarks about <mask> and ECW. They first faced off in an amateur wrestling match, which <mask> was disqualified from for using his DDT on Swagger. Then Swagger defeated <mask> in an Extreme rules match, ending the feud.
