Love, love me do, you know I love U (turns)
Published at 08:57, Tuesday, 05 June 2012
Everybody loves a U-turn. There's nothing better for quickening the heartbeat, lifting the spirits, pumping the blood more vigorously to all those jaded vital organs.
Governments don't like the term U-turn. Even – or perhaps most especially when they've just done a spin – they hate it.
They'd prefer us to call their turnings rethinks, the results of consultation, proof of having listened.
All of which are undeniably true – and tend to happen immediately before a U-turn.
So, elation knew no bounds when U-turning came not singly, not as a pair, not even as a trio. But in a fab foursome – like The Beatles! How good is that? Doesn't it just make the eyes water with unbridled joy?
Pasties, pies and all those tasty hot things not at all good for us, were reprieved from the VAT-man's noose. Static caravans, much-loved of Lake District glampers, grandmas and grandads, were similarly rescued.
Buzzards, threatened with cruel recrimination of cull for their greedily obsessive taste for young pheasants, were spared the killing fields to which they had been condemned. And rich folk wanting something back for donating to charity had their way.
Is there anything left of the Budget?
If a week is a long time in politics, clearly it can also be a rewarding time for complainers. And that should, perhaps, teach us all a valuable lesson.
It's never too late nor too hopeless to raise objections and voices of dissent. Whether you're a pasty giant like Greggs or an impassioned humble twitcher, dividends of U-turning are there for the asking.
That's the good news. Now the rallying call.
Today pasties, parked vans, predatory birds and perks. Tomorrow... austerity!
And that would be the even better news.

Center Seminar Schedule
"Ethical Questions and the MOLST/POLST"
Dyllon Martini, MD
Most people working at UH know what the MOLST form is (Medical Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment). It is meant to empower patients when they have a serious health condition. However, some patients who arrive at the hospital with a signed MOLST form are confused about what the form actually means or are accompanied by family members who are not sure they wish to honor what the form says. We will look at a case study that includes a family's unwillingness to follow their parent's MOLST form, the team's attempts to understand why, and the dissatisfaction that resulted from the ongoing discussion. MOLST forms are here to stay, but the seminar will get us thinking about ways in which we might use them more effectively.
Dr. Dyllon Martini is a third year resident in emergency medicine here at Upstate. She completed her medical degree at the University of Colorado at Denver, School of Medicine. Next year she will pursue a pediatric emergency medicine fellowship. This talk reflects her interest in how the MOLST form developed and how it is being interpreted in the ED.

By BETH FOUHY
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Rupert Murdoch has never been shy about voicing a political opinion, using his worldwide empire of television and newspaper outlets to promote conservative causes. Now, with a raft of complaints about Republican Mitt Romney, the billionaire media baron is signaling that he intends to boost his visibility in U.S. politics_even if it comes at the expense of the man conservatives hope can defeat President Barack Obama.
Murdoch is the founder and CEO of the global media conglomerate News Corp. which owns several outlets popular with conservatives in the U.S., including Fox News Channel, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. Until now, Murdoch has been far less influential in U.S. politics than he has in his native Australia and until recently in England, where a phone hacking scandal involving several Murdoch-owned newspapers has shaken his status as a fearsome power broker.
The hacking scandal forced the departure of many Murdoch's deputies, peeling away a protective layer around him while also liberating him to take such risks as openly criticizing Romney, some who know him say.
Murdoch, 81 and a naturalized U.S. citizen, chose to launch his critique of Romney on Twitter, the social networking site where information is exchanged in 140-character blasts known as tweets.
"When is Romney going to look like a challenger? Seems to play everything safe, make no news except burn of Hispanics," Murdoch tweeted from his iPad on June 24. "Easy for Romney to spell out restoration of the American dream and bash incompetent administration. But not a word!" he said later that day. "Tough O Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless (Romney) drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful," Murdoch tweeted on July 1.
On Monday, Murdoch appeared to acknowledge his tweets might be causing consternation for the Romney campaign. "Romney people upset at me! Of course I want him to win, save us from socialism, etc but should listen to good advice and get stuck in!"
The Wall Street Journal's editorial page followed Murdoch's lead Thursday, unleashing a surprisingly harsh attack on the Romney campaign's response to the Supreme Court's affirmation of President Barack Obama's health care law. News Corp. purchased the Journal in 2007 and the paper's editorial page is viewed as an authoritative voice among conservatives.
The Journal responded to mixed messages from the Romney campaign about whether the mandate to buy health insurance constituted a tax as the court suggested, calling the confusion "politically dumb." The paper also urged Romney to shed staff and offer more detailed policy proposals. And it dinged him for playing into Democrats' "rich-guy" caricature by jet-skiing this week at his New Hampshire lakeside retreat.
"Mr. Romney promised Republicans he was the best man to make the case against President Obama, whom they desperately want to defeat. So far Mr. Romney is letting them down," the Journal said.
The former Massachusetts governor couldn't even catch a break in The Weekly Standard, a conservative magazine Murdoch launched. "Is it too much to ask Mitt Romney to get off autopilot and actually think about the race he's running?" asked Bill Kristol, the magazine's editor.
Romney advisers have taken note of Murdoch's public comments, though they decline to discuss them publicly. "Gov. Romney respects Rupert Murdoch and also respects his team and has confidence in them." Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said.
The Romney campaign has no immediate plans to make changes to its senior staff, though officials say they are still in the process of hiring new people for the fall push against Obama.
Michael Wolff, author of "The Man Who Owns the News," a Murdoch biography, said Murdoch's use of Twitter reflects a new determination to address politics using his own voice and to carve out a separate identity from Fox News, which has grown more conservative than Murdoch himself over time.
"He's not a Fox conservative and he's not a tea party conservative. That's why he's angry about Romney," Wolff said. "Romney is closer to a Murdoch conservative but he is now pandering to the conservative wing of the party that Murdoch has always had contempt for."
Judd Legum, who has researched Murdoch for the liberal Center for American Progress, a Washington-based think tank, agreed that Murdoch was attempting to separate himself from Fox but for a different reason: he believes the network had gone too easy on Romney.
"They've positioned Fox News to be largely supportive of Romney, with lots of sympathetic interviews," Legum said. "Murdoch is suggesting another approach. He wants to push Romney into a more aggressive posture."

Dorothea Lambert Chambers returns to tennis after an 18 month absence in May. The press wondered if her time was past. Could she return as before? Her reply was to whip through the Wimbledon draw with the loss of only 16 games in 6 matches.
Mrs. Chambers went undefeated all year, winning 7events out of 8. The only event she didn't win after entering was Croydon, where she defaulted the final because of a cold.
Surprise was the order of the day across the ocean in America. At the Ojai Valley tournament something shocking happens-May Sutton actually loses a match on American soil when Hazel Hotchkiss d. May Sutton 2-6 6-4 6-0 in the final.
This was the first time Hazel Hotchkiss had beaten May Sutton, who had been virtually invincible in singles in California for a number of years. This was May Sutton's first ever loss in singles on American soil (and to a fellow American woman), and May's first loss in singles overall since Charlotte Sterry beat her 7-5, 6-0 in the final of the Northern Tournament in Manchester, England, in early June 1907.
After the match May Sutton refused to shake her conqueror's hand until Hazel Hotchkiss went around the net post and made it difficult for the runner-up to ignore the gesture.
May still gets the better of her rival overall. Inexplicably she does not enter the US National Championships even though she is close enough to contest (and win) the Canadian Championships. Hazel easily won the US Nationals in the absense of Sutton and later on in the year wins a perfect match in the Washington State event, where she wins all 48 points in her semi vs a Ms Huiscamp.

1950's theme party ideas
I have a work party tomorrow afternoon, and the theme was just given to me this morning. (Gee, thanks!) The theme is 1950's.
There are only 5 of us participating, so my contribution has to coordinate with what's already being brought. And it has to be fairly basic (i.e. no herring) to appease the limited palates I am working with. So far, the list is:
- tater tot hotdish
- deviled eggs
- chex mix
- grasshoppers / pink squirrels
I don't want to cop out by bringing a pickle/olive tray. My only ideas so far are to do a jello mold with canned fruit inside, or else maybe a cheese ball. I'm a product of the 80's, so my knowledge of the 50's is not exactly very deep.
If you have any great ideas, please pass them along!
I highly suggest the Gallery of Regrettable Food for all kinds of 1950s cuisine inspiration...
So far as I remember, rumaki was the consumate 50s party/cocktail food. http://www.greatpartyrecipes.com/ruma...
Can't vouch for the recipe -- I haven't tried it and was too young in the 50s to attend any of the sophisticated "parent" parties where they were ubiquitous. But I thought I'd supply some info about the concept.
here's another site that should provide some ideas...
We had a brilliant 50s party a few years ago. The main was a chicken "curry" that used to show up at parents' swanky dinner parties - you know, not spicy at all, quite sweet, with little dishes of raisins and coconut and nuts etc. Rice and peas, of course. For hors d'oeuvres, we featured my grandmother's famous liverwurst pineapple - which is a liverwurst paty molded into a pineapple, and then frosted with a mix of mayo and gelatin, and then you put slices of green olives with pimentos in the diamonds on the side of the pineapple. You buy a whole pineapple (real) and just use the top for the liverwurst one. It was brilliant. Dessert was baked alaska. An astonishingly good meal, and dubbed authentic by all of our highly amused mothers (who actually entertained in the 50s!).
re: janetms383
Absolutely. I have to admit, somewhat sheepishly, that I still make those meatballs for family parties...
Three dishes I remember from the 50's are:
Anything with molded jello
Chicken or tuna casseroles topped with crumbled potato chips
Spam in little triangular sandwiches, in casseroles, etc. Chopped, mashed, fried - perhaps the most versatile canned meat product ever developed.
Oh - and let's not forget those little cocktail wieners in the stubby can.

Re: Do I have a problem? ;)
crunching_numbers - That is an idea worth looking at! Will you pm the information on who you use?
Just off the top of my head....the benefits of doing the CD's vs the bonds:
1. No start up fees (to a broker or anyone else).
2. Interest is paid monthly.
3. Interest is usually a fixed rate. (Even with bonds, the rates can fluctate.)
4. You start earning the interest right away. (With bonds, you have to wait on other factors, like the broker to process the deal. There were other variables I had noted when I looked into bonds before, but I do not know if those apply to your broker.)
5. Taxes are sooo simple! You don't have to figure out any additional fees, etc.
6. The money is guaranteed and backed up by the FDIC/NDIC (if you purchased with an insured institution). Bonds are not "guaranteed". They are not likely to defualt, but there is no promised land.
crunching_numbers - Please send me the information and I will compare the two ideas.
Re: Do I have a problem? ;)
As of today, USAA lowered their interest rates on their savings accounts from 0.2% to 0.11%... so it's only a matter of time before the CD rates go down too :/
Re: Do I have a problem? ;)
Oh yeah, they did.
I did open up two more CD's at a special place (NOT USAA) and am receiving 3% APY one, adn 2% APY on the other. Not too bad in this market.
Re: Do I have a problem? ;)
AMEX personal savings already lowered their % from .9 (which I locked in) down to .75

I think this idea is great!

Re: Do I have a problem? ;)
That's excellent. It's really a fun way to stash cash, that you do NOT need RIGHT NOW. So if you have your debts paid off and have an EF in hand, you can't lose doing this.
Anyone play with ee-bonds or i-bonds?
Re: Do I have a problem? ;)
Repo-ed - I looked into those when I was doing a lot of research on investing. To me, the numbers did not work. IF I was to invest in the bonds, I'd have to print out a paper certificate and lock it up so it doesn't get lost or forgotten. And it would definitely be a LONG term strategy.
I looked at tax free munipal bonds awhile back. Did a lot of research into those. On the surface they sound great. But overall, there's no guarantee there will ever be a return on your investment. I watched their performance for several months and it was gut wrenching to watch the value go up and then plummet... And the ones I looked into all required several thousand to get a piece of the action. I didn't have several thousand at the time.
So for now, I am sticking to CD's, short term and long term ones. At least I know the balance will go up (and not down) and I will have easy access to cash if needed every few weeks as the short term (one year or less) CD's mature. I have only cash on that once - but the short term CD's were intended for a specific purpose.
I just started doing "even out" payments on the Navy CD's. I LOVE being able to add funds to existing CD's!
Re: Do I have a problem? ;)
Are EE bonds not guaranteed against inflation?

Everyday we use gallons of water around the house, but how clean is our water? Water plays a huge role in our everyday lives. We bathe in it, wash our clothes with it, clean our dishes with it. Cook with it, water our lawns with it, and most importantly drink it. So now more than ever the quality of our water is very important.
Every time you turn on the tap you expect clean water but many homes may have water issues that can not only make your water taste bad but can even cause damage to the plumbing.
Phil Witry from Commonwealth H2O says, "If you have copper plumbing in your house and you notice blue-green staining of any type in your porcelain fixtures, you have very acidic water and it's slowly deteriorating your copper plumbing." The hardness of the water can also be a concern. "Hardness in your water can cause the heating elements in your water heater to deteriorate much more quickly. It can cause your skin to be much dryer especially if there is chlorine in your water as well."
Commonwealth H2O is a full service water treatment company that can fix water issues by using products that are all natural like crushed limestone or salt. They also have a system that can recycle your water. "It's about the size of a water heater and actually recycles bath water and washing machine water to your toilet." This can save 30 to 40% of the water usage in your home and will pay for itself in anywhere from 3 to 6 year. "People are really interested in trying to save water especially in this area. We have had several droughts over the past 4 or 5 years and it becomes a big concern. If everyone could save 30% of there water usage it would make a big difference in the water that is out there."
The water recycling system used by Commonwealth H2O is called a BRAC system and was actually named one of the top ten green products for 2007.

Portfolio columnist Zubin Jelveh finds it curious that, while East Harlem restaurants have the highest ratings on MenuPages, Frank Bruni has, per a Lexis-Nexis search, never reviewed one of them (meanwhile, the East Village popped up in Brunis articles 35 times). Our curmudgeonly commenter Sneakeater offers a reality check: Not ONE of the restaurants you cite in Harlem or Washington Heights are worthy of a review by the New York Timess main restaurant reviewer. You seem to have him confused with Bob Siestema of the Voice [Sneakeater has made a spelling mistake here the mans name is Sietsema] or the guys who do the New York Timess $25 and Under column.
Meanwhile, Urbanite points to the restaurant row that has emerged at the West Harlem Piers and mentions a bidding war for another restaurant space (who knows, maybe Keith McNally is in on it!). And Uptown Flavor brings news of OH, a new private club, complete with backyard and cigar terrace, owned by ODell Holland of the Sugar Shack. The venue isnt the first of its kind this summer, a couple of Gordon Ramsay and Per Se alums opened a private dining spot, Recette, that, from the taste of the braised beef cheek with brown butter, chestnut terrine, and sultan chutney we had at City Harvest, is worthy of Brunis attention. But why close these hidden gems to walk-ins?

Vikings Special Teams Unit Continues Solid SeasonPosted by on October 18, 2010 – 7:27 am
It's easy for special teams play to get lost in the shuffle when evaluating and digesting NFL games. But we won't let that happen here, not after the Vikings put together perhaps the most complete special teams performance since Brian Murphy took over as coordinator of the unit before the 2009 season.
We've mentioned a few times in the vikings.com Blog this season that the special teams unit is playing well, but often times that praise has been easily overlooked because the team got off to a rocky 1-3 start. So now with win #2 on the season in the books, let's take a quick look at the impact Murphy's group had on the outcome.
– We'll begin with the catalyst for the Vikings 2nd-half surge against Dallas. The Vikings went into the locker room at halftime trailing 14-7. But they came out of the locker room in the 2nd half and immediately tied the game when Percy Harvin dashed 95 yards through the middle of the field for a TD. Harvin was virtually untouched on the play, so credit goes to the 10 blockers there. And he did a nice job of sticking his foot in the ground and heading straight upfield.
"Coming out of the half there's no better way to set the tempo than taking the opening kick back," Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress said after the game. "It's a testament to those special teams. You talk about covering people up, I don't know that Percy broke stride on that return. He set the tempo for us special teams-wise as well as those other 10 guys and then got on the field and got a three-and-out on defense and were able to hold on."
– As explosive as Harvin was with that return, P Chris Kluwe was every bit as consistent on the day, as he's been all season. Kluwe had 5 punts on the day for a net average of 41.8. But more importantly, he landed 4 of those 5 punts inside the 20 and 2 of them inside the 10. Of Kluwe's 5 punts, only 2 of them were returned and Dallas managed just 3 total yards on those 2 returns. That's outstanding work from Kluwe.
"He's done a great job of directional punting," Childress said of Kluwe. "He's really taken that bit. The other thing he's doing is kicking with great height and hang-time and I think I've mentioned to you guys before the people that do a great job in terms of not having punt returns are the people that are able to hang it up in the air and let our guys go down and cover it. Again, the kicking teams were outstanding."
– While a lot of credit is due to Kluwe for the lack of Dallas return yardage on Sunday, credit also goes to the Vikings coverage unit. LB Jasper Brinkley tallied 3 special teams tackles on Sunday while the newly-acquired Fran Walker also got in on the action. Dallas returned 5 kickoffs on the day and averaged 16.2 yards per return, a pedestrian average. The most impressive kickoff cover of the day may have been the opening kickoff, when Brinkley smashed Akwasi Owusu-Ansah at the Cowboys 19 after just a 13-yard return. The hit got a great reaction from the crowd that went from "Whoa!" to loud cheers.
– We can't talk about the Vikings special teams play without talking about K Ryan Longwell, who was perfect on his PAT tries and also hit the game-winning FG in the 4th quarter from 38 yards out. Longwell also appeared to do a nice job on his kickoffs in terms of placing the ball where the coverage team expected him to place it.
– Finally, the best special teams play (aside from Harvin's return) may have been the last special teams play of the day. The Vikings forced a 3-and-out after Longwell's 38-yard FG and the offense took over on the MN 25. Four Adrian Peterson runs and a pass interference penalty allowed the Vikings to run over 2 minutes off the clock. Ultimately the Vikings had to punt the ball away with 29 seconds remaining in the game. Kluwe's punt came down near the Dallas 4, where Dez Bryant received it and tried to make a few moves to pickup yardage. But the Vikings punt team covered the perfectly placed kick well and strung Bryant out. Eventually Bryant was surrounded by the entire coverage team and he was dropped after just a 3-yard gain to the 7. That left the Cowboys with more than 60 yards to gain in 13 seconds to get in FG range, a task too tough to accomplish as the Vikings came away with the 24-21 victory.

Percy is a playmaker! It's good to see him getting to focus on what he does best. Patrol the slot and provide explosive big time plays at critical spots that the Vikes need. He is a rising star and a big time homerun threat! Keep up the great work Percy!

Hey Mike,
I cannot agree with you more Murphy has done a "spot on" job with this group!….on another note though I could not help but see Lito Shephard being burnt on all 3 TD's yesterday if I am not mistaken….what is Cook's timetable on returning and honestly lets put someone else in there even if it is the ballboy…he looks so slow……

What is a spud wrench?
This name is used for two types of tools, either a wrench designed for turning spud nuts or a wrench with a spiked end. Both of these have very specific uses in plumbing, metal working, and electrical work.
Plumbing Spud Wrenches
A spud washer creates a tight seal around the outside of pipe fittings such as the inlet hose connector and the tank on a toilet. This washer is held on by a spud nut. These nuts are generally made of brass or plastic making them very easy to damage. Spud nuts can also be very large to accommodate wide pipes all but requiring a specialized tool to turn them.
Multi-size: The simplest wrench, this uses stepped jaw surfaces to accommodate a wide range of nuts.
Adjustable: This tool closely resembles a pipe wrench, except the jaws are flat to avoid damaging the surface of the spud nut.
Socket wrench: Most spud nuts also have a small tooth placed at a ninety degree angle from the wrenching surface. This allows the nut to be turned using a compatible socket.
Electrical and Metal Working Spud Wrenches
Like plumbing pipe, electrical conduit also uses spud nuts. However, these nuts are used to hold lighting fixtures, not seals.
Since these nuts don't have to deform to create a tight seal, they are made of stronger metal that can be turned with regular hand tools. However, these nuts are almost always round requiring the use of a spud socket wrench.
A metal or iron-working spud wrench is any tool which has a spike on one end. Sometimes called a podger, the spike is inserted into bolt holes to line up metal pieces before inserting a bolt through them. The opposite end may be an open-end wrench, box-end wrench, or ratchet. Electricians also use this tool for lining up conduit and fixture bolts.
In other words, an electrician could use a metalworking-style wrench to get a piece of conduit in place and then switch to a plumbing-style wrench to attach a spud nut.
How do I know which spud wrench I need?
It's just as likely that you will find the wrench size by the name of the product you're working on as you are the size of the nut. There are toilet, sink, and even garbage disposal spud wrenches. Spud nuts used on these plumbing fixtures are standard, so all but the oldest plumbing will work with these universal wrenches.
Most electrical spud nuts are 5/8″ or 3/4″.
Metalworking spud wrenches will have a spike tapered so that the widest diameter will be slightly more than the stud that would match any bolt head that would fit the wrench end.

Hello all,
I have a few questions / feature requests about how this forum works. I may be overlooking something, and hope Im not asking too much.
I visit the site every day and try to keep up with whats happening and how everyone else is doing things, if I see a topic that either looks interesting or that I may be able to help with I read it and respond appropriately.
However the new posts and todays posts do not match up. Many days especially at the beginning of term I dont have time until I am at home to read. So I expect not being on the site all day the todays posts and new posts should be about the same. Dont get me wrong I access the site at work if I have an issue but cant justify casually reading it while we are so busy.
Here are my questions;
Can someone explain the difference between the whats new and todays posts?
Can I filter the todays posts to exclude certain forums or tags? We do not use SIMS here so filtering those posts out would help.
Following the idea of filtering the new / todays posts, can I filter out certain threads? Sometimes I see the same thread day after day because it is a hot topic or ongoing issue but does not apply to me.
There are some forums that have multiple thread types, discussion and question. When I have the time I like to search for unanswered questions and see who I can help. Can we get a feature like this?
Thank you,

Guestbook comments from the owner
"Lovely place to stay for a relaxing break or as a base for sightseeing"
We really enjoyed our three night stay on the outskirts of Bath. Weston Lodge provides a quiet and peaceful base whilst giving easy access to the city centre. The apartment is really well fitted out and provided everything we needed for ourselves and for entertaining our friends who live locally. Although we arrived early, we deposited our luggage and returned later to find the apartment ready for us with lovely towels and bedding along with complementary drinks. We will definitely make another booking in the future.

The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World
From Library Staff
The story of the London Broad Street cholera epidemic of 1854, a deadly outbreak that decimated London's population in eight days, and two heroic figures: Reverend Henry Whitehead and Dr. John Snow, whose combined efforts in mapping the disease solved the mystery of how cholera spreads and create...

A good narrative on cholera outbreaks in London and the men who proposed and discovered that it was a water borne pathogen. This book shows how using disciplined science to overrule the current beliefs benefits all. Will be interesting in 50 years to see which current beliefs based on poor science are overthrown. Worth reading if you are interested.
This book chronicles the 1854 outbreak of cholera in London and a few exceptional men determined to find the cause and how it changed the modern world
This book is fantastic! It's a great factual work describing both cholera itself and the day by day events of the epidemic and the decision-making processes after it. Even more, it shows a real example of how our pre-existing opinions can be hard to shake even when it matters so much.
A pointed example of mankind's battle against its greatest enemy, well-meaning bone-headedness, and also the story of John Snow, who has a strong claim to be humanity's greatest-ever benefactor, Ghost Map is a thoughtful book, damaged by clumsy writing. The author rambles, airs theories that while interesting, could be better supported, and drops into casual English, possibly with the aim of being "accessible": using "you" instead of "one", "sh*t" instead of "feces", and so on. But clearly, Johnson has it in him to do better. One more draft, with the help of a forthright copy editor, would have done the trick.
I love how in telling a great story the author teaches me history and also relates it to the world we live in and future implications.
Kim 10/10/11
Fascinating look at how the early days of public health and epidemiology research (and two of its pioneers) solved the 1854 London cholera epidemic -- and helped prevent future outbreaks. // Well worth the read, regardless of your favourite genre.
Terrific book about how a doctor and a priest determined the cause of London's cholera outbreaks in the summer of 1854 and how their discovery changed science -- and engineering! Very very readable. Historical, scientific and also a facinating human story.
Fascinating look into how people viewed disease and why it was so difficult to come to understand the influences when they could not be directly observed. The deductive reasoning by Dr Snow is an perfect example of why empirical evidence is so important to the scientific method.
Johnson takes you into the heart of Victorian London gripped by disease. That we are able to walk these old streets and understand its people is an example of an excellently written book.

X division could do with a revamp

Getting ignored by SCOTT STEINER

Re: X division could do with a revamp
As fun as Roddy and Ricochet are to watch in the ring, neither of them should ever be allowed near a mic. While a manager can help mask those deficiencies, it really does limit the amount of places you can go with a character. I'm not sure TNA wants guys who have limited speaking ability either. Don't get me wrong, I think they would do really well and get over solely based on ring work - but could they carry the division with the belt, which would require them to speak more often? I'm not sure.
In addition to King, Ion, York & Spud currently healthy, we can pencil in Sabin and Sorenson when they come back from injury. I think Gargano would be an excellent addition since he can work AND talk. Also, Chuck Taylor would be an interesting addition and he might be the single funniest guy in wrestling right now... his personality would be great on TV if given the opportunity. And although Joey Ryan is teaming with Matt Morgan at the moment, he could slide into an X-Division slot as well.
I think eight guys is probably the ideal number of roster spots, but they still would have a hard time featuring everyone on a regular basis. That is going to be an issue for TNA moving forward - how do you showcase everyone on the roster effectively? Guys like Morgan & Ryan aren't featured every week, so they need to find a balance there.

iHeartRadio Music Festival at Las Vegas Pictures of Lady Gaga, Jay-Z, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Ashley Greene
Las Vegas Hearts Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Usher, Coldplay and More!
Las Vegas got even crazier this past weekend when the biggest names in music descended onto the property of the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino for the two-day iHeartRadio music festival. The good times kicked off on Friday with performances from Jay-Z, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, the Black Eyed Peas, Carrie Underwood, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson and Jane's Addiction. Saturday night was just as star studded with energetic sets by Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, Kenny Chesney, Nikki Minaj, Rascal Flats, Usher and Sting. Music artists weren't the only big names on hand — American Idol host Ryan Seacrest made the trip to the desert to MC the show and brought along girlfriend, and star of the upcoming dance film Footloose, Julianne Hough. Twilight star Ashley Greene was rolling solo to introduce Rascal Flats while Glee's Cory Monteith welcomed Sublime to the stage.

That was only slightly embarrassing.
That was only slightly embarrassing.
GoldenEye 007 is a gaming classic.
It's only the first week of the Pete Holmes Show on TBS and they're already hitting it out of the park.
Originally, Skyfall director Sam Mendes wasn't going to return to the James Bond franchise, begging off to instead direct theater productions of King Lear and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Not many authors deserve a TV series about them, but Ian Fleming is an exception.
Some fictional characters are so larger than life that it's hard to believe that they could ever have been inspired by anything other than a writer's no doubt drug fueled imagination.
How's this for a concept: you play as a dude that's part James Bond, part Mega Man, and all ruthless assassin.
Man, screw flowers: What better way to honor the deceased than going to see "Skyfall".
Armed with the James Bond 50 Blu-ray box set, and watching all 22 movies, this list of the 50 greatest vehicles, gadgets, and gizmos was complied, in chronological order.
The good lads over at FHM sat down with Skyfall's Berenice Marlohe, who we're just going to go ahead and call "the hottest Bond girl ever.
Lost in all the pointless bitching over Heineken briefly appearing in Skyfall is the fact that, like us, James Bond is a raging alcoholic.

Scottish devolution: Even the SNP are struggling to moan about this revolutionary package
The Smith Commission's package of devolution for Scotland announced today is revolutionary - making it very hard indeed for Scottish nationalists to insist the 'Vow' has not been kept.

The House of Representatives on Sunday called for investigations into the stampede that claimed 18 lives at the venues of the recruitment exercise by the Nigeria Immigration Service on Saturday.
The House sought to know the "immediate and remote" causes of the deaths.
The Speaker of the House, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, who made the call in Abuja, described the death of the young job seekers as "sorrowful and regrettable."
He added that the tragedy was "unfortunate" because the only crime the deceased committed was that they went searching for jobs that would "better their lot and that of their loved ones."
Tambuwal, who condoled with the families of the victims, advised the NIS and other agencies planing to recruit in the future to ensure that such a tragedy did not occur again.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Imam Imam, the speaker also advised government to collaborate with the private sector to address the unemployment challenges in the country.
Millions of job seekers had paid N1,000 each as application processing fee.
At the Abuja venue for example, over 100, 000 applicants reportedly crammed into the 60,000-seat capacity Abuja National Stadium.
Seven of the victims died in Abuja.
In Niger State, overcrowding also led to the death of three applicants in Minna.
The story was not different in Rivers State, where five deaths were reported.

Rejuvenating facials at Long Island spas
After a loooong, cold winter, it's the right time for a refresher course -- we're talking about your face. Skin gets dull, congested and D-R-Y during the colder months, and a facial is a wonderful rejuvenator.
But there's a lot going on in the world of skin care, and it seems that the days of the very basic facial are virtually extinct. So to learn about some variations on the theme, we went under the steam, the stone, the cream and, eeks, even the razor. And besides the relaxing, pampering experience (some more relaxing and pampering than others), the greatest benefit of all is beautiful, healthy skin.
