Eleven Hungarian kings and queens were crowned at St. Martin's Cathedral including The Queen Maria Theresa.

AfDB Partnership Strategy
The Bank's partnership portfolio has considerably increased in diversity and complexity in recent years, largely due to its enhanced institutional credibility and visibility as Africa's premier development finance institution. A growing number of various types of partners are willing to renew and strengthen their cooperation with us. In particular, since 2007, the institution has enjoyed rapidly growing requests to build partnerships from around the world; and its partnerships have emerged in the domains of trust funds, co-financing, technical cooperation, secondment, staff exchanges, special initiatives, and research and knowledge partnerships.
The objectives of the Bank's partnership strategy are to:
- Re-position the Bank as Africa's premier development finance institution in the increasingly dynamic and complex global partnership landscape;
- Focus its partnership management in alignment with the Bank's priorities and ongoing institutional reforms so as to avoid strategic drift;
- Proactively and strategically manage partners' rapidly growing demands and high expectations in partnering with the Bank; and
- Demonstrate the results achieved through partnership to both internal and external stakeholders, including our client regional member countries.

Late Night Grande Hotel is Nanci?s 9th album, and was released in 1991. I would say this is a little less country sounding than some of her other albums, and although couldn?t be classed as ?pop? music as such, does have a bit more of a pop vibe about it.

UFC 146 Heavyweight Shuffle, Part 2: Nelson vs. Gonzaga, Del Rosario vs. Miocic Added to Main Card
(I've met some ugly chicks on PlentyofFish before, but Angie was a new low for me. And she looked even worse with her clothes off.)
Fun fact: Alistair Overeem's withdrawal from UFC 146 has now resulted in six fighters on the main card getting their opponents switched a month out from the fight. (Only the Mark Hunt vs. Stefan Struve bout has been completely unaffected.) In the latest edition of "Dos Santos vs. Mir" musical chairs, Roy Nelson gets a new opponent, and an undefeated heavyweight prospect comes in to fill the gap.
— With his original opponent Antonio Silva now facing Cain Velasquez, Roy Nelson's new dance-partner on May 26th will be Gabriel Gonzaga. "Napao" is coming off his successful UFC return against Edinaldo Oliveira in Rio, and was originally slated to kick off the UFC 146 pay-per-view against 11-0 Strikeforce vet Shane Del Rosario. Now it'll be Gonzaga vs. Big Country, a battle of BJJ black belts with knockout power. We can dig that.Read More DIGG THIS

Score distribution:
Positive: 29 out of 34
Mixed: 4 out of 34
Negative: 1 out of 34
Nov 15, 2011His follow-up album is plenty downbeat, but it's also gorgeous, an immersive headphone masterwork that's tender and intimate like little else in contemporary rap and R&B.
Nov 11, 2011On Take Care, Drake finally shows he's got the talent to match the hype.
Nov 10, 2011The only time the almost 80-minute Take Care doesn't work is when it indulges something resembling conventional hip-hop.
Nov 14, 2011Over the course of some 18 months, Drake has become quite a novice in the genre, well on his way to mastering new and exciting ground.
Sep 17, 2012Considering Take Care is an affecting masterpiece easily on par with his debut, there could be no greater accolade for the genius of this man.
Nov 15, 2011As a series of a mood pieces detailing the luxury lifestyle of hip-hop's one-percenters, Take Care is fairly captivating. As a portrait of the artist at the top of the mountain, however, it's pretty frustrating.
Nov 17, 2011Former child actor Aubrey Graham's much-vaunted sensitivity and introspection is more hollow than ever on his second album.
Score distribution:
Positive: 66 out of 82
Mixed: 7 out of 82
Negative: 9 out of 82
Dec 10, 2011This album is incredible, the sorrow, heart, and energy that is put in this album gives it a classic, and in a few years he will surpass Lil Wayne. His first was good, not great, it showed to much commercialism; which is why it was weaker. This album has a complete change, embracing fame (Headlines and The Motto), but in some songs regretting it (Marvins Room and The Ride.) Track Ratings: Over My Dead Body 10/10, Shot For Me 9/10, Headlines 8.7/10, Crew Love (The Weeknd) 9.2/10, Take Care (Rihanna) 7.9/10, Marvins Room 10/10, Buried Alive Interlude 8/10, Underground Kings 8.5/10, We'll Be Fine (Birdman) 8.5/10, Make Me Proud 9.4/10, Lord Knows 9.8/10, Cameras/Good Ones Go Interlude 8/10, Doing it Wrong 9/10, The Real Her (Lil Wayne & Andre 3000) 9.7/10 HYFR 8.2/10, Look What You've Done, 8.9/10, Practice 8.8/10, The Ride 9.5/10, The Motto 8/10, Hate Sleeping Alone 9.6/10… Expand
Nov 18, 2011This album made me like Drake even more. I like the fact that he incorporates different types of musical styles into his songs. He's not a bad singer so his technique is working in his favour. Each song creates a different atmosphere. I especially like his take on Juvenile's "Back That A** Up" (Practice). It's brilliant. As for the lyrical themes with the exception of growing into wealth, I can relate to it. Which makes this album perfect.… Expand
Nov 15, 2011This album will be a classic, Drake created his own style of rap/hiphop. On his first album, the influence of 'Cash Money' producers was clear in some songs (Miss Me, Fancy). Even though that was a good album, it wasn't a great one. This album on the other hand, is great. The influence of James Blake is very clear in this album, leading to some revolutionary songs with revolutionary beats (to give an example, Crew Love). The Jamie xx produced Take Care has a beautiful build-up, and reminds me of "Weak become heroes" by The Streets (aka Mike Skinner). Instead of chosing for industry-leading guest stars, he has chosen guest artists whose voice/rap skills fit the song perfectly (except for Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj, but they need to be on it for obvious reasons). Just like he gives Rihanna a surprising vocal role in Take Care; not the powerful Rihanna you'd expect, but an almost timid Rihanna. It's very obvious that he was left with creative control this time. I'm willing to bet he's going to receive a grammy for this one.
"Take Care", "Marvin's Room", "Crew Love", "Lord Knows" are instant classics.… Expand
Jun 21, 2013This album will be a classic for sure. Drake named this album ''Take Care'' because he felt as if he rushed through his debut album ''Thank Me Later'' (which was also his previous album). Drake really made this album worth listening. The production of the beats are AMAZING, producers like T-Minus, Boi-1da, and Noah ''40'' Shebib who helped with the album A LOT. Without ''40'' the production would have not been as good. The album also has some other talented producers that helped out. Drake has also improved a lot lyrically. The album is not just hip-hop, he has some talented singers like The Weeknd and Rihanna. Drake also sings, proving his true R&B Talent. Drake is an amazing singer and rapper. The collaborations are amazing. I really felt as if I got to feel the emotions in all of the songs, the album has really different emotions in every song, especially songs like: ''Look What You've Done'', ''Take Care'', ''Over My Dead Body and ''Marvins Room''. Take Care has really changed hip-hop, and shown that it isn't the end of hip-hop. The album was named album of the year by the ''Los Angeles Times'' and ''The New York Times''. Take Care won a Grammy Award for the Best Rap Album at the 55th Grammy Awards.… Expand
Aug 3, 2013I look at these reviews, and I do not understand where this hatred is coming from. How is it that on this website, obvious troll reviews where the user even says they didn't listen to the album still are counted? Anyways, on to the album. I really enjoyed the sound Drake has achieved and mastered with his producer "40." The haunting intro "Over My Dead Body," is probably one of my favorite album intros of all time, the piano, the female vocals, Drake's casual flow, it all works fantastically. The next few tracks provide more excellence, Drake showcases his ability to lay down bars on "Headlines," "Underground Kings," and "Lord Knows," and make soft emotional tracks such as "Shot For Me," "Crew Love," and Marvin's Room."
Lyrically Drake isn't the astounding, but he manages to still be entertaining in his own right. He certainly was not the strongest rapper on his album, both Kendrick Lamar and Andre 3000 make appearances that have them dropping some fantastic verses, especially Kendrick who's verse might be one of the best of his career. I think that the true standout is the sound that Drake and his producers have crafted together, the clear influence from Kanye's 808s is very evident, but the production certainly doesn't mimic that style. The muted bass, the transitions, the more bombastic tracks, it all works and flows together really well. This album is incredibly cohesive, especially for a mainstream rap album. In some ways it reminds me of Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III.
The album certainly has its weaknesses though. For starters, it is a bit too long, at 18 tracks. At 90 minutes long it is a bit too much for my taste, and I feel like there are filler tracks for sure that could have been cut. Interestingly, the title track, "Take Care," is probably my least favorite track on the whole album. The whole thing sounds like some cheesy teenager love story, and I feel like Drake is much smarter than he portrays himself on that track. I wonder then what he was thinking when he named this track after the album (because I certainly doubt he derived his album name from this track). His track with Nicki Minaj, "Make Me Proud," is also a bit lacking. Nicki deliver's some cringe worthy bars, "I'm a star...sheriff badge." And although I don't dislike Drake's hook, I can see it getting old real fast.
One of the most underrated tracks on the album, I feel, is "Cameras/Good Ones Go Interlude." Its this sort of brooding dark track that builds up with this extremely noticeable bass. Drake croons sort of off-key, it is sort of like some sort of homage to the pain he goes through with fame and women. Then all of a sudden it switches to this interlude, with these sort of cloudy lighter synths and bass with Drake singing in a higher tone. It is basically an antithesis to the previous song that played, and might be my favorite part on the album.… Expand
Mar 26, 2012This album shows Drake isnt lil wayne's lackey and he can hold his own. Still their are a few problems. The album is slow and long. i think if they had added some more fast paced tracks to keep me interesting. Also i didnt like alot of the guests like Birdman and a couple of others didnt seem to fit the somber tone of the album. i think if R&B singers/rappers were featured it would fit much better. despite that its a good album and i am happy to say this has made me a drake fan… Expand

7 more die as protests spread over reported Quran defiling

KABUL, Afghanistan — Muslims from the Mediterranean to the Pacific protested yesterday over the reported desecration of the Quran by a U.S. soldier at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. In Afghanistan, where anti-American riots began three days ago, at least seven people were reported killed, doubling the death toll from the violence.
The upheaval kept the Bush administration on the defensive, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice appealing for calm and repeating assurances that the U.S. military is carefully investigating the Guantánamo incident.
While the protests have not been massive, analysts fear the issue is damaging U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region. In Afghanistan, the violence has disrupted what has been a virtual national consensus in support of the U.S. presence, raising the profile of America's militant opponents. Protests in Pakistan forced at least two U.S. consulates to close as a precaution.
To varying degrees, officials of the Pakistani, Indonesian and Saudi Arabian governments — all seen as essential to the U.S. "war on terror" — prodded Washington for action. Pakistani Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri called for severe punishment for any soldiers found to have desecrated the Quran — a crime that in Pakistan is punishable by death.
The uproar was ignited by a recent report in Newsweek magazine that U.S. troops had thrown a copy of the Quran into a toilet as part of their interrogation of Muslim prisoners. Afghan prisoners released from Guantánamo and other U.S. military prisons also say soldiers abused the Quran to horrify or humiliate prisoners.
In four Afghan provincial towns, violence broke out as crowds of men filled streets after the midday prayer.
At least four policemen were reported killed in Ghazni province and another person in the city of Gardez, both southwest of Kabul, and a protester was reported shot to death in Qalay-I-Nau, in the northwest as the violence spread from southern to northern Afghanistan for the first time.
Elsewhere, peaceful but angry Muslims protested in the Palestinian territories, Pakistan and Indonesia, according to news agency and television reports. The biggest march appeared to be in the northern Gaza Strip, where more than 1,000 Palestinians, including many activists of the Islamic militant movement Hamas, marched to chants of "protect our holy book."
Hundreds of Muslims protested at a mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia.
In a sermon in Islamabad, the Pakistan capital, a militant cleric and politician, Hafiz Hussain Ahmad, said: "We are hurt. ... If we don't rise against Americans, if we don't give them a strong message today, they will do it again."

Sony's Kaz Hirai must be off his meds, because he's talking like the PS3 is the one out there selling like hotcakes. Okay, we'll concede that Russia may be more receptive to your products, but on a global scale, the sales figures aren't even comparable. So, what gives?
"This is not meant in terms of numbers, or who's got the biggest install base, or who's selling most in any particular week or month, but I'd like to think that we continue official leadership in this industry," he said. Uh, okay, well how would you measure leadership other than success? In terms of Nintendo and their competition with Sony, Kaz had more bizarre things to say. "It's difficult to talk about Nintendo, because we don't look at their console as being a competitor," he said. "They're a different world, and we operate in our world - that's the kind of way I look at things."
Kaz is, uh, quite delusional, if we may say so. Relax, Kaz. At least you have your PS2 sales to lean on. No need to create fantasy worlds for your mind to live in.

SIFF 2014: Frank
Features:Price: $12
Michael Fassbender is the type of handsome rising film star that studios crave to put on their posters. So naturally in his latest film Frank, his mug is hidden behind a massive papier-mâché mask that covers his head the whole time. Fassbender stars as the titular Frank, an eccentric pop music genius who never removes his artificial cartoonish cranium. As the he prepares to head to SXSW, comedic tension rises in Frank's band as some members want him to make more commercially viable music while others want him to stay true to his oddball roots.

Controlling traffic speed – it's safer for everyone
As bicyclists we are all too well aware – bikes interacting with high speed vehicles can be a recipe for disaster for the bicyclist.
A recent traffic engineering development, where signals automatically go to red in all four directions when there is no traffic…and go to red if vehicles are approaching the intersection at a speed above the speed limit helps reduce traffic speeds making it safer for bicyclists and pedestrians.
The City of Long Beach recently installed several of these lights to help slow traffic in areas where we have higher pedestrian and bike traffic along with vehicles that frequently travel above the posted speed limit.
This short video shows how one of these signals on Wardlow Road works.
Where would you like to see these lights installed?

Little Scoops looks just like an ice-cream parlor from the '50s—if it mistakenly got zapped by a shrink ray. That's because the shrunken-down shop is designed for kids, giving parents a family-friendly kid-sized space for children's meetups, play-dates, or ice-cream socials. At the U-shaped ice-cream bar, pintsize stools capped with red vinyl beckon kids to sidle up and check out the flavors of Welsh Farms ice cream, soft serve, and shaved ice. A jukebox plays kid-friendly tunes as little ones decorate their scoops with colorful toppings, taking care not to spill their sweets on imaginary friends or the black-and-white checkered floor.
The parlor also hosts children's post-game meetups, play dates, and parties. Parents can opt for party packages that include pizza and soda; during the festivities, Little Scoops staffers take the lead on setting up, cleaning up, and organizing interactive games.

A club for adult entertainment could run dry if the town revokes its liquor license.
Special counsel for the town of Cross Plains, Mark Hazelbaker says the owners of Hot Rods never asked for a transfer of the liquor license when it took over the establishment.
Hazelbaker says the club opened in February with new people running it but under a liquor license belonging to a previous owner. Hazelbaker says that owner was supposedly in charge, but an investigator from the Department of Revenue went to check.
"That person has to have the real power and have to be there... pretty clear that wasn't the case," says Hazelbaker.
The town clerk filed a complaint against the owners of Hot Rods, saying the license transfer is invalid. Hazelbaker says, under Wisconsin Law, the town board must revoke the liquor license if that is true.
The town board is expected to act on the complaint at its meeting on Monday. Calls to the owners of Hot Rods were not returned.

Robert Aickman (1914-1981) described his stories as 'Äėstrange.'Äô Probably because no other word quite does them justice. Interestingly, he came from a rich horror heritage, his grandfather Richard Marsh having been a rival in popularity to Bram Stoker with his occult novel, The Beetle. But, during his life, Aickman was known as much for his conservation work on British waterways as he was for his writing. A man ahead of his time in many ways. … Continue reading

Are peppers a fruit?
Peppers, like tomatoes, meet the biological definition of fruit, which is, an edible portion of a plant containing seeds (strictly speaking, some fruit don't contain seeds bec
ause seedless varieties have been bred, but they still qualify because they did originally contain seeds) but in terms of cuisine, they are generally considered to be vegetables.

12 Totally Unhealthy Snacks from Your Childhood That Went Extinct
French Toast Crunch was a cereal shaped like little French toasts and was sickeningly sweet; in other words, every kid's dream. The cereal was discontinued in 2006. Dunkaroo
s were a fun treat for kids because they featured small cookies that you can dip in frosting. You won't be able to find them in stores anymore, but you can order them on Amazon. Squeezeits were the preferred juice of childhood because they were easy to open and had a lot of juice in them. These drinks were discontinued in 2001. All kids love Oreos, but kids of the '90s will remember the fun Uh-Oh Oreo commercials and eating the yummy reverse oreo cookies. Oreo tried to relaunch this product. Any child of the '90s knows this candy's theme song. This chocolate ball contained a surprise inside and was fun to eat. However, because of the choking reports, it was taken off the market. Heinz brought a new life to ketchup that made French fries and others foods more fun. The bottles were easy to squeeze and even came in fun colors, like green and purple. The Oreo cereal was the best of both worlds, cereal and cookies. However, this cereal went off the market in 2007. You may still be able to find it in South Korea. Doritos took chips to a whole new level by making them 3D. Unfortunately, they did not compete with the original Doritos and were taken off the market. These addicting cheese balls were discontinued in 2006. Do you remember having orange fingers as a kid? Keebler discontinued these cookies so that they could put more focus on a different product. There are no plans to bring back these cookies. Bubble Jugs were popular because you go to put dust in your mouth and magically it would transform into chewing gum. If you had a Bubble Jug in the 90s, you were the cool kid on the playground. This crunchy, salty-sweet ball of goodness is no longer. M&M's now sells a pretzel variation which is tasty but just not quite the same as the classic crispy center coated in chocolate. Remember puckering up your face and enjoying these delectably sour mints? A green, sugary, caffeine-laden nectar that was guaranteed to make any kid hyper. Because what fun is drinking Pepsi that is a normal dark color? Burger King's chicken fries were a fun way to eat chicken nuggets. These chicken nuggets were nice and crispy, not soggy like other fast food joints. Fried chicken shaped like french fries made this food very fun to eat. Burger King took Chicken Fries off the menu for years, but Chicken Fries are officially back due to popular demand. Here's to hoping the rest of our childhood foods also make a comeback!

Five Sweet Spices That Can Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
Regularly consuming processed foods and beverages (candy, cakes and pastries, white bread, regular pasta and soft drinks) can cause sugar cravings to soar. In addition to tri
ggering cravings, these foods tend to digest rapidly causing pronounced rises in blood sugar (glucose), which can pose serious health risks over time. Fortunately, you can greatly satisfy your sweet tooth by adding a little sweetness to your diet. Here are five bittersweet spices that can help you do just that. Often referred to as the queen of spices, the rich aroma and uniquely sweet taste of cardamom is simply unmatchable. This delectable spice makes an excellent seasoning for veggies, beans, poultry, and may other types of food. Cardamom is also great for enhancing the flavor of your favorite coffees or teas. In addition to its flavor boosting benefits, cardamom contains powerful health-promoting nutrients that can help improve circulation and lower high blood pressure, fight cancer, support healthy digestion, reduce asthma symptoms, and even fight bad breath. Cinnamon is a bittersweet spice that can naturally boost the taste of virtually any type of food including veggies and fruits, meats, and sauces. However, cinnamon is much more than just a flavor enhancer, as its nutritional characteristics can help you manage your weight and improve your overall health. In fact, regular intake of cinnamon has been shown to effectively lower blood sugar levels, improve cholesterol, and promote heart health. It's also high in fiber, which has an appetite suppressing filling effect in the stomach making it especially beneficial for weight loss and weight management. You can enhance the flavor, sweetness, and overall nutritional value of your foods by adding fresh ginger. Ginger is a pungent, zingy and somewhat warm spice that has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. It contains a wide range of anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting compounds known to treat a wide range of ailments from the common cold to digestive disorders. It's also an effective treatment for arthritis, heart conditions, and cancer treatment-related symptoms like nausea and vomiting. Adding nutmeg to veggies, stuffing, and sauces is one of the healthiest and most guilt-free ways to satisfy your sweet tooth. Nutmeg is a powerful source of flavonoid antioxidant compounds, which have been proven beneficial in both the prevention and treatment of heart disease, cancer, and inflammatory disorders. This wonderfully delicious spice also houses a rich supply of micronutrients including potassium, magnesium, zinc, copper, and manganese. Collectively these nutrients play important roles in heart, bone and muscle health. A little vanilla can bring a whole lot of natural sweetness to your foods. When consumed in pure form it's also incredibly healthy. Vanillin, the primary compound in vanilla extract, has potent antioxidant properties that may help prevent the onset of diseases linked to free radical damage. Interestingly, evidence suggests that regular consumption of vanilla extract can effectively treat numerous illnesses including inflammatory bowel disease, sickle cell anemia, and even chronic depression. Spices are generally great for adding unique flavor to foods and beverages. Incorporating these five sweeter varieties into your diet is a great way to curb your sweet tooth while also improving your health (["Basic Nutrition Facts About Sugar"](http://nutrition.answers.com/food-composition/basic-nutrition-facts-about-sugar)).

Auto Repair
Three Reasons to Worry About Your Airbag
The automotive airbag is receiving a lot of media attention lately. Discover a reliable way to find out if the inflatable restraint safety recalls apply to your automobile. I
n addition, review reasons your airbag light comes on and a few problems that won't turn on the light. Automotive safety problems are always popular news stories. Often your favorite news anchor provides all the details about the problem, but fails to provide the information about how you can find out if your car is included or likely to suffer from the issue. As an example, the Takata Corporation, an automotive parts manufacturing company, currently has a massive airbag recall. Close to 8 Million vehicles from ten different manufacturers are affected and more are likely to find their way on the list. This is a result of the globalization of the automotive industry where one supplier begins to corner the market and provide components at a lower price. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has provided a [vehicle identification number look up tool](http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Owners/vin-lookup-sites) so consumers can receive an accurate answer to the question, is my vehicle included in the giant airbag recall. [Consumer Reports.org](http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2014/10/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-takata-air-bag-recall/index.htm) has also posted a series of videos and articles that help put the dangers into perspective. Sometimes motorists become too dependent on their dashboard warning lights. Although the light will come on when the system detects a problem, in isolated cases, when the light is off, it doesn't mean everything is okay. In the Takata Corporation airbag recall mentioned above, the two major problems associated with the safety defect will not turn on the airbag warning light. The scenario in which the chemical powered inflator [fails to deploy the bag](http://autorepair.answers.com/safety/why-airbags-fail-to-deploy-in-crashes) is not an issue the module can detect. The other problem in the safety campaign is metal debris discharging when the bag deploys. Again this will not illuminate a warning light. The airbag module and its monitoring system run automatic current and resistance checks. This verifies the major system components are operational and connected to each other. It is not a guarantee the bag will deploy with out incident. Car makers designed the inflatable restraint system to provide feedback of operational readiness via the instrument panel indicator lamp. It's a good idea to become familiar with the operation of the airbag readiness light on your particular automobile as they can vary between year, make and models. Generally speaking, when the engine is started the airbag light will flash a few times as the system runs a self diagnostic test. Some Individual components [like the crash sensors](http://autorepair.answers.com/safety/facts-about-airbag-crash-sensors) and the steering wheel mounted clock spring will go through an automatic resistance check to verify it falls within the parameters. If continuity and resistance tests all fall within specifications the light should go out and stay out. According to my General Motors product owner's manual if the light behaves this way it means the airbag is ready to deploy in an accident. The automotive airbag is a constantly monitored system. It does a great job of reporting connectivity problems that can prevent it from working properly in a vehicle crash. As an example, if a problem is detected in the coil spring that connects the driver side airbag inflation module to the vehicles power source, the light will either come on steady or flash a code using short and long blinks to represent the malfunction. Automotive airbag systems are more complicated to diagnose because there is no mandatory standardization as in the case of the on board diagnostic systems used to control engine emissions. Unfortunately, most airbag problems require a visit to the dealership or qualified auto repair center. Although airbags can appear to be troublesome there is no question they save lives when used in conjunction with seat belts. Take the time to see if your automobile is included in the Takata Corporation airbag recall. If it's not, read your owner's manual and familiarize yourself with your cars supplemental inflatable restraint system. Finally, verify proper operation by [examining your airbag readiness light](http://autorepair.answers.com/safety/deciphering-the-airbag-readiness-light) when starting the engine.
13 Celeb Couples Who Live Surprisingly Modest Lives
Wealth and fame have a way of luring people into lavish lifestyles. Actors, musicians, and athletes can become superrich overnight, with no preparation for the stresses and r
esponsibilities that great wealth brings. Some celebrity couples maintain a modest lifestyle as a hedge against economic downturn, loss of income, or simply because they prefer it. One of New York City's most modest couples is Sarah Jessica Parker, star of 'Sex and the City,' and Matthew Broderick, winner of two Tony awards and star of 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' Although the couple has a net worth north of $135 million, they don't splurge on private jets and over-the-top meals. SJP recalls that as a child, she and her seven siblings made ends meet with welfare. She was able to keep the clothes she wore on 'Sex and the City' - funky and couture - and her son wears gently used clothing from his older cousins. Sarah Michelle Gellar burst into stardom as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and her husband Freddie Prinze, Jr. has worked steadily in films and voice acting. He currently works as a producer and director for WWE. The couple and their two children live in Los Angeles and have an estimated net worth of $15 million. Sarah told Self magazine that she uses coupons and shops for groceries on sale. When the couple is out in public, it's usually with their kids. In a savings habit he picked while working at a car dealership and McDonald's, Jay Leno banked all of his earnings from 'The Tonight Show.' He noted that as a child of Depression-era parents, he doesn't touch that money. His daily spending money - including the funds used to purchase his huge car collection - comes from his standup comedy gigs. He and his wife of more than 30 years, Mavis, enjoy a net worth of $250 million.
