Most public grievances pertain to town planning, health & sanitation and engineering wings, says Commissioner
GHMC Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu on Monday called for streamlining the functioning of the town planning, health & sanitation and the engineering wings so that better civic services could be provided to the citizens.
Launching the 'Praja Vani' (People's Voice) programme at the head office where citizens with grievances can directly interact with the Commissioner and other senior officers every Monday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Mr. Krishna Babu said most complaints received in person or through the 24-hour call centre pertained to these departments.
Requesting citizens to make use of the latest facility, he said the first stage should be to complain at the zone/circle levels before coming to the head office as Zonal Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners would be available at the respective zone and circle offices at the same time to receive grievances.
During the programme, the head office received 20-odd complaints while the zonal/circle offices received 104 more.
"Every complaint is being computerised and a receipt is generated with a number. A weekly review will be held to check for the solutions provided and explanations when the problem could not be solved."
Explaining the rationale behind the programme, Mr. Krishna Babu said citizens were unable to meet officials because of various meetings being held throughout the week hence it was decided to earmark a specific period of time for the citizens. Senior officials in the Secretariat and other government departments would also be urged not to slot any meetings during the period.
Ever since the call centre became functional from this January, about 4,104 complaints were received and 2,794 were disposed of registering a success percentage of 68. Pendency of complaints was 1,310 and 698 of them were outside the purview of the citizen's charter, said Mr. Krishna Babu.
Grievances about abnormal increase of property tax (30 pending), garbage lifting (248), engineering works (600) like road works, storm water drains besides town planning (165) about encroachments and unauthorised constructions plus street lighting were received.
The Commissioner also said that efforts were on to professionalise the transport wing and the services of a motor vehicles inspector was requisitioned to ensure that fitness tests were conducted for the vehicles regularly. Additional Commissioners -- K. Dhananjaya Reddy (Planning), L. Vandan Kumar (Health & Sanitation), D. Jayaraj Kennedy (Advertisements) and others were present.

Nice! My wife has been doing large cross stitches for the kids - name, date of birth, pictures etc - she's doing one for our son at the moment with Thomas the Tank Engine on it
Well done, I intend to get crafty soon, I used to sew and cross stitch as a kid, the main kits nowadays are very flowery or girly. (sorry)
There are geeky ones/non girly (I'm with ya there!) out there and there's a guy called Mr X I think who does it too.
Ha ha! Thats amazing Little-Miss, really like that!!
my mum used to do loads of xstitch and i used to make patterns for her ages ago (in the 90s) using excel with coloured x's in the boxes as the 'real' x stitch maker software was serious money!
I love this! I, too, enjoy cross-stitch and would love to stitch this. Did you pattern it up yourself or do you have a pattern/colourchart you could point me at? (Although I am certain it wouldn't be too hard to approximate this from a screen grab). I want a Nyan-cat X-stitch in my life <3
I'll pass the chart on to you....
AMLightfoot (16th April 2012)
@Little-Miss Very good..
My other half does a lot of Cross Stitch. She has been making Birthday Cards recently. If I can get any photos of them, I'll share them
Well done Little Miss
My Mum taught embroidery for many years, so I'm pretty handy with a needle too.
Making your own patterns is fairly straightforward... I used to photocopy my drawn/traced design onto graph paper... nowadays with scanners and printers, I can print it onto graph paper instead and get the scaling right much quicker

Online casinos have become very popular because they provide players with a chance to play more conveniently at their own homes. The games provided on gambling websites are the same as those played at offline casinos. The only difference is that players face digital dealers instead of people. In addition, anyone can play for virtual money or real money.
Some of the most popular games include:
• Poker
• Roulette
• Slot machines
• Blackjack
• Bingo
The only question is whether you should play with real money or not. To answer that question, here are some tips to consider:
Start With Virtual Money
Even if you are a seasoned player at offline gambling establishments, make sure to practice playing with virtual money. Many online casinos provide you a chance to play without any risks. Practice first and get to know the feeling of playing online. As soon as you get a grip of playing virtually, you can then consider using real cash.
Familiarize With Rules and Strategies
Every game on the Internet has its rules. Learn them before betting with real money. Understand that strategies on the Internet and in the real world may vary because you will be facing digital dealers instead of human beings. You will also be facing opponents you cannot see personally, which makes it impossible to bluff using physical gestures when you are playing poker. Nonetheless, you can spot certain habits about players, which still makes it possible to fool opponents.
There are a lot of free and paid instructional ebooks and videos about how to successfully win in online casinos. Use these to your advantage. Remember that strategy is a very important factor in winning. Even if the games are determined by luck, there are certain tactics that can put you in a more advantageous position.
Make Sure it is Legal
In certain locations, playing with actual cash at online casinos is illegal. Know whether your state or country allows Internet gambling. Every casino is also bound by law so when you choose a website to play at, determine if it has been issued a license to operate legally. You can determine the laws regarding Internet gambling by searching for answers on the Web, but if you are unclear about the laws in your location, better take legal advice from a lawyer in your area.
Download the Software
First, you have to find a legitimate casino. You can do this by reading reviews online. Do not simply read one review and trust what is written in the content immediately. Seek out other reviews, experience stories, and testimonials from as many users as possible. In addition, choose a casino that provides the games you love to play.
When you download software, you may be given two options: one for real money and one for virtual money. In some cases, you only need to download one piece of software which allows you to play with actual money or with virtual money, as well as with different games. In some instances, every game has its own piece of software.
If you are a novice, make sure to play with virtual money first. When you gain the confidence to play with real money, then you can start adding cash to your account and start playing for real. Betting can be addictive so better set limits to avoid heavy losses. Remember that there are a lot of fake casinos out there. The makers of these fake casino programs can cheat you of your money so better be 100% sure that the casino you are playing at is trustworthy.
Abide With Terms and Conditions
Read all the terms and conditions provided by online casinos before you start using real cash. Most websites track your IP address and never want you to play using proxy servers. This is one way for the casino owners to check whether you are playing at a location where online gambling is allowed. Therefore, if you are playing with real money, do not attempt to use proxy servers.
Players who want to play games with real cash, but live in prohibited areas are sometimes tempted to play using virtual servers from a different location. Before you attempt to do this, make sure that the terms and conditions do not prohibit this. If it is prohibited, the best option you have is to transfer to a location where it is legal to play games.
Final Words
Gambling on the Web is very addictive, but you can really win money playing at online casinos. However, always play for fun and not for greed. Bet only with the money you can afford to lose. Set aside enough cash for personal and family needs before you start playing. Remember that you have as much chance to lose as you have to win. Again, play wisely.

- This must be regarded as a temporary "Mac Gyver" solution, for home usage.
- Definitely not for IT staff! (no crimper? asking for one in the budget won't get you fired!)
- Before the tab breaks, consider protecting the plug.
Step 1: On Broken RJ45 Locking Tabs...
Now the RJ45 plug no longer locks properly, making the connection unreliable. You firmly push the plug into the socket, hurray you're connected again! so you forget about the plug until the next lost connection some weeks later, wasting a long time to figure out that it's this damn broken plug again. And so on.
Now it's time to act and grab your RJ45 crimp tool. Oh, you don't have one? Or you're reluctant to use it? so read on...
Step 2: Needed Stuff
- Cable tie tool (optional)
- Sharp knife
- Cutting pliers
- TWO CABLE TIES (small size)
Their exact size matters, this is discussed in the next step.
Step 3: Find the Right Size of Cable Ties
To test, insert the head into the socket as shown in the first picture below. It should snap.
Then gently pull the cable tie. You should feel some resistance.
I measured a head width of 4.3mm.
Step 5: Make its Head Thin
Problem solved! We are not big fans of wireless networking. A broken plug is a big inconvenience. Fixing it saved us alot of money and frustriation. Great photos. Thank you very much.
I couldn't cut the head bit, as it is tough as nails. I tried with pair of sheers but it only made it uneven. So I took on another tip, tape the sides of the plug and it should make it snug. Works just fine.
Once I finally reached the last step, I am able to put it into my Ethernet port, but sometimes must fidget with it to get it pushed in all the way so that when I tug on it I can feel resistance. The second thing that bothered me the most is that it's too difficult to get out and I usually have to pull out my Ethernet cord as I have a non wireless printer that's not in my room and this would frustrate me every time I have to take the cord out.
I guess the easiest and fastest solution, would be to buy a coupler as someone else suggested and a one foot cord and tape the damaged end of the cord into the coupler.
Absolutely agree! The idea is good, but I just spent an hour trying this with various cable-ties and I have to say, the cable is better off without this "fix". I just bought a RJ45 coupler and added another cable.
correct ? Or is this a remedy that works for repeated plug in and unplug uses?
Side cutting pliers may also be used.
Then I used wire cutters and it completely deformed the end
Then I used needle nose pliers and it did the same thing
If you have a little modelers drill you could use a small sander tip but that would defeat the whole point of this genius repair. Which can be done with little to no tools, I have managed to do this with a set of True Utility Nail Clippers. So keep going and you will succeed.
Good luck.
And yes, it was sharpened at that time. In fact, laying my finger over it got me a small cut. So it looks like there's something wrong with my cable ties. Or maybe it's some industrial-grade cable tie? I don't know.
I have a cable where the tab broke off from being plugged/unplugged every day, so this will be much better than the original tab because it's almost unbreakable!

Icould fixt it in few seconds.
Now when I move my PS3 it will stay in there, haha.
Thanks man.
FYI if you have a plug you really need to be stable and not break, check out Panduit's RJ45 connectors, the tabs are built a little bit differently so they don't break as fast.
Thanks for this man.
Com uma idéia muito simples e com um custo baixíssimo, resolveu um problema que para muitos ia custar uma nota... tendo de chamar um "técnico" para "tentar" refazer o cabo...
Já ví muitos apanhando dos RJ-45... =)

I always believed that cable ties could fix anything :)
"DUCT TAPE can fix anything"
"If DUCT TAPE can't fix it IT CAN"T BE FIXED"
We need a similar slogan for the NEW SCHOOL 'bailing wire' guys who use high tech 'Zip-Ties' and 'Tie-Wraps'.
Also I would like to include the 'VELCRO' guys too.
Well mines been great for quite a good while now!
I see the sugru stuff protect the tab in the other inscrutable but that's not cheap and looks crap IMO , but whatever rocks your boat. It's given me an idea to look for something to act as a boot so off I goes.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Furthermore, I'd like to see a tab design that is more like this than the current style, as I've only seen one that doesn't suck, and it's pretty much the same idea but attached at both ends, sorta like a leaf spring.
Two bits of advice though: as others have noted, crushing the cable is both easy to do and a bad thing. I was thinking 5min epoxy on the jack head, but that would be harder to do right. Just be careful I guess.
Secondly, the days of building your own cables is really past, *don't* do it! As much as I love DIY, hand crimping doesn't hold a candle to the $20K machine that does factory made cables, crimp depth and so forth are regulated at the factory, not at the hand crimper. They're generally cheaper store bought than the time you'd spend messing around with it, and goal #1 is reliability.
A bad hand crimp (and they're virtually impossible to do well) can really take a long time to figure out while troubleshooting. The fault can be both intermittent and not bidirectionally broken. The worst part is that it's never clear if it's been done right, even if you have the right heads/cable type. I speak from vast networking experience, 60K+ node network and 16 years on the job. Just not worth it, resist the urge!
Bare cable/hand-crimped connectors is the only way to go in these situations.
(Tip: always drill the hole between the baseboard and quarter-round or other shoe molding. It's usually painted, so if you have to pull out the cable; a little calk/some paint, and you can't tell there was a hole. IOW, drill at an angle into the top of the shoe molding.)
All that said, this is definitely going for what my mom calls "the nth degree" of reliability. Great and even necessary for an enterprise network, less important for a 3 node home network. So it's a judgment call. I'd spend the extra $15 on jacks and stuff if you make a living off it and need it to always work. But I'm kinda anal about these things, which is why my mom has phrases like "the nth degree" in her vocabulary.
. Rocketguy's method allows one to easily replace the last few feet of cable (the part that gets the most abuse) instead of messing with the premise wiring. Not necessarily better (each connection introduces some noise/attenuation), just more convenient.
However, I would like to note that flat satin is okay for cables shorter than the minimum length of cat5.
To begin with they are about 6 to 8 times more expensive then DIY ones. They only come in predetermined lengths that are generally rarely suitable for the application unless the application has been specifically engineered for them. Next the failure rate for the "factory made" ones is one out of one hundred... about the same as a home crimp... why? because the dies wear, insulation doesn't cut right, wires snap, etc... the reason why the factory ones *Seem* so good is that they are tested before packaging. Even there the tests are quick continuity tests. Only about one in a hundred are sent to QA to be thoroughly tested.
On the home use side, I actually have to have a stash of several different lengths in order to find one that will match and don't get me started on longer runs. If you get the proper tools and a tester there is no reason why a DIY crimp can't be every bit as good as a "factory" crimp. Especially if you make several short practice cables to get the feel for doing it.
Maybe you have the nice deep corporate budget and regimented installation where factory crimped cables turn out to be easier but the average Instructables user does not have that luxury.
Finally, this is an expedient that is especially useful for field work and for low stress applications where the wiring only gets disturbed occasionally. I have had the clips snap off the ends of a perfectly good cable several times when trying to reroute the cable and this "fix" is an excellent idea.
Getting factory made whenever possible is a great idea because you have the option of returning it to the place of purchase if it fails out of the box. However, DIY can be done every bit as well if not better if taken the time to do carefully and properly.
Is there a way to fix these types of Ethernet cables? Thanks.
Else, just shave off the plastic?
Strictly speaking, both bmlbytes and crazytrain320 are wrong.
From the bottom up:
The connector being repaired is an 8P connector, specifically an 8P8C. This is often incorrectly called an RJ-45, which is actually a 8P2C connector that was once used in telephone wiring, but didn't catch on.
The cable itself is UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). Depending on quality, it is either category 5, 5e, or 6 UTP, or just `cat5' (or 5e, or 6) for short. Ethernet refers to standards for the layer 1 (physical) and layer 2 (data-link) layers of the OSI model. Modern versions of Ethernet are part of the IEEE 802.3 standard.
Most modern versions of Ethernet specify that layer 1 be the combination of an 8P8C connector with cat5 UTP or better cable.
Ethernet at layer 2 defines LAN-level transmission and addressing (MAC address).
An ``Ethernet cable'' therefore refers to a cable that is cat5+ UTP with an 8P8C connector at each end.
The TCP/IP protocol stack refers to a protocol stack (more than just TCP and IP) that starts at layer 3 of the OSI model, and extends into the upper layers. TCP/IP is designed to run over Ethernet (although, this isn't strictly necessary).
The Internet is a worldwide TCP/IP internetwork.
I hope this was informative.
problemsmall + frustrationmuch + ible_mindbit_of + timebg = idea
I was googling for a solution, and did not find any --I really could not believe it. I found US7540756 patent, but nothing to buy anywhere...
I'm glad (and relieved) that it worked for you. Thanks.
Is 35mm the head width or the cable width?
I not sure which to buy.
35mm would make really *huge* heads. Mine have 4.3mm wide heads, and are 100mm long. My pack's label reads 100mm 50pc, so maybe your 35x100mm means 35 pieces of 100mm long... 100mm sounds good.
The best would be to be able to measure the head with a caliper.
Good luck!
Thank you!
i dont have any zip ties atm, besides the ones inside my computer
We happen to have a few (ton) of these around the shop, I should try this.
Just sorted out 1 broken catch.
Using a piece of cut up zip tie that was on the floor after unpacking something recently & a new zippy that came with some hardware ( as I don't carry a stock of zip ties!) this killed 2 with 1 stone, all that went to waste was the piece of cut zippy pulled out of the 1 from the floor.

They should have really designed the plugs this way in the first place (reverse clip) as it cant really be ripped off, just bent off, so pulling on the cable wouldnt hurt it, and it wouldnt snag or tear off moving the cable through a switch mess. =)
Really nice job

Governor Thanks Credit Unions for Support of Skilled Trades Initiative (Misc News: June 6, 2014)
Gov. Rick Snyder says encouraging more Michigan young people to explore careers in skilled trades is a "top priority."
GRAND RAPIDS – Michigan is coming back after a long decline, but Gov. Rick Snyder said now the state needs workers to fill good-paying skilled trade jobs, positions that many companies are having trouble filling right now. See what he had to say about what needs to be done.
Speaking at MCUL & Affiliates' Annual Convention and Exposition in Grand Rapids, Snyder said that encouraging more young people to explore careers in skilled trades is a "top priority." He thanked MCUL for its support of the effort, referring to new Career and Technical Training materials for students that MCUL unveiled to credit unions this week.
"We have thousands of open jobs and still too much unemployment, and it's really getting people career-connected and the skilled trades is the best place to look," Snyder said.
The problem, Snyder said, goes back decades. Most kids were told a four-year degree was the only way to a bright future. In-demand well-paid careers that don't require a traditional university degree weren't part of the conversation.
"That was the mistake we made 20 years ago or so," Snyder said. "I want Michigan to be the leader in emphasizing both tracks."
That's where MCUL & Affiliates Career and Technical training guide comes in. It outlines in-demand well-paying Michigan industries that don't typically require a university education. Snyder says part of focusing on these industries is re-imagining what a skilled trade means.
The initiative is a partnership between MCUL & Affiliates, U.S. Rep. Dan Benishek and the state Workforce Development Agency.

Mancini For ruthless cheap manchester city soccer jerseys dismissal Aiko dominant factors remain Manchester City to win meritorious oath
Mancini For ruthless cheap manchester city soccer jerseys dismissal Aiko dominant factors remain Manchester City to win meritorious oath
Won the Premiership champions, Manchester City next season in addition to and strive to defending, but also want to make a difference in the Champions League. Mancini intends to continue to grow the team in the summer strength, while at the same time he also need to clear some of the team overstaffing. Sun pointed out that this wave of cuts in Mancini's son, Andrea, was not spared.
In November 2010, Andrea – Mancini defected to the contract termination and the Bologna father. However, in the star-studded Manchester City, Mancini has not the light of day. So far so far, Andrea failed in the Manchester City first-line played the game, he can only showing up in the preseason. For 19-year-old Andrea, to sit the bench wearing in Manchester is obviously not conducive to his development.
Mancini is not favoritism, he did not want to sacrifice the overall interests of the team in order to let his son play. The Sun today that Mancini intends to release the "love child, Andrea as a free agent to find the next home in the summer. In November last year, Mancini was on loan to Oldham, but in this small team just two coming off the bench.
In the eyes of the media and become the replacement of the dominant factors are also a popular figure of the summer, leaving the team. The dominant factors of the season performance instability, he had a league finale to enter the equalizer, the ball high light moment, and there have been low on the bench dry bench. Not get enough battle time, the media rumors he would leave in the summer, the player's agent earlier this week denied that the dominant factors Juventus.
Now, 26 years old, the manchester city youth soccer jersey dominant factors stand out that the departure and he want to leave the competition for posts. Saturday, dominant in Bosnia and Herzegovina will warm-up match with Ireland. Before the game, and dominant to accept an interview with Britain's Sky Sports, he did not fight in Manchester on enough races to worry about, "No, I'm not worried, because I think I've proven I can in Manchester play, I deserve to play. I scored some important goals. "
"I'm still one of Manchester City. I do not have to consider the future, I just want to how to lay a good game against Ireland and Mexico. Mancini decided to send who to play, I respect his decision this past season , I always try to do our best, even when I can not play. In the end, I scored a key goal, and perhaps this is one of the most important goal in Manchester City history which, I take pride in "dominant team to stay, he will face competition from Aguero, Balotelli and Carlos Tevez.

Not sure if I'm going to order it yet.
If I started playing an MMO heavily I'd end up dropping DOTA, which I do enjoy playing. And you can't really play an MMO casually anymore. Just doesn't work.
Plus, I'm the kind of guy that needs a solid, active community to MMO with, else I get too bored. So we'll see.
I would say form a group on here, but the likelyhood for anyone here getting a good group, is.... how can i put this...
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Did anyone manage to do any dungeons/group bits on the beta? The 'instancey' quests were pretty good apart from the one that kept bugging with the traps.
Did quite a few dungeons, some buged out but eh, its a beta. The closed beta has WORSE bugs, and they fixed a lot before getting it to here.
Oh, I have the skills. Just don't have the patience to grind a game if I don't have buddies to talk to that're also playing :P
I think I will give it a while before I properly get in on this game. I played since day 1 of closed beta, I maxed various characters races out with differing skill sets. Will enjoy the game when its released but not sure if I will go all out (however I didn't play as an imperial, that would be interesting!)
I caved! haha. Mrs wants to play as well so we will share an account, and I got the digital deluxe account so we can be imperial and go wherever we like and choose any alliance we like!
Hey guys,
Don't know if any more beta sessions are planned, but I too have a key on a first come first serve! Just PM

Boys Basketball: H-F too much for Thornwood
By Logan Malloy For Sun-Times Media November 19, 2012 10:38PM
Tai Odiase, of Homewood-Flossmoor, dunks against Thornwood for the Chicago Heights Classic at Marian Catholic, Monday, November 19th, 2012 in Tinley Park, IL. | Gary Middendorf~For Sun-Times Media

Maurius Hill bulled his way for 15 points, Rashaan Surles added 14 and No. 10 Homewood-Flossmoor pressed its way to a 66-49 victory over Thornwood on Monday in the opener of the Chicago Heights Classic at Marian Catholic.
Hill, a 6-foot-5 senior forward, used his 215-pound frame to power his way into the lane for baskets. He added nine rebounds and four steals.
"I felt like I had a strength advantage," Hill said. "I lifted (weights) a lot in the offseason. I like to get to the basket, so you've got to be stronger than your opponent."
H-F used a 1-2-1 full-court press to force 25 turnovers and keep Thornwood without a field goal until a Robert Blissitt Jr. basket with 6:49 left in the second quarter.
The Vikings (1-0) went on a 16-0 run spanning the first two quarters, highlighted by a Surles three-pointer and a Thaddeus Little three-point play off a thunderous one-handed jam.
Thornwood trailed 27-8 at one point, but three straight baskets by Brian Thomas (10 points, four assists) cut into the H-F lead.
Thomas later found Donte Thomas (13 points, 12 rebounds) for an alley-oop dunk to move Thornwood to within 10, but Hill responded with a two-handed jam as the half expired for a 32-18 advantage.
"We have some size and length," H-F coach Jim McLaughlin said. "If we get guys active and moving the way we do in practice, the way they're supposed to, the (1-2-1 press) becomes a little more effective. It's a good start."
Ricky Bullock chipped in 12 points and Little added nine off the bench for the Vikings in a regional final rematch from a season ago that saw H-F prevail 59-53.

Sir Noël Peirce Coward (16 December 1899 – 26 March 1973) was an English actor, playwright and composer of popular music. Among his achievements, he received an Academy Certificate of Merit at the 1943 Academy Awards for "outstanding production achievement for In Which We Serve."[1]
Early life
He was born in Teddington, Middlesex, England to Arthur Sabin Coward (1856–1937), a clerk, and his wife Violet Agnes (1863–1954), daughter of Henry Gordon Veitch, captain and surveyor in the Royal Navy. He was the second of their three sons, the eldest of whom had died in 1898 at the age of six. He began performing in the West End at an early age. He was a childhood friend of Hermione Gingold, whose mother warned her against him.
A student at the Italia Conti Academy stage school, Coward's first professional engagement was on 27 January 1911, in the children's play The Goldfish. After this appearance, he was sought after for children's roles by other professional theatres. He was cast as the Lost Boy Slightly in the 1913 production of Peter Pan.
At the age of 14, he became the lover of Philip Streatfeild, a society painter who took him in and introduced him to high society in the form of Mrs. Astley Cooper. She gathered a salon of artists and invited him to live on her property at Hambleton, Rutland, but on the farm rather than in the Hall, due to his lower social class.[2] Streatfeild died from tuberculosis in 1915.
He played in several productions with Sir Charles Hawtrey, a Victorian actor and comedian, whom he idolized and to whom he virtually apprenticed himself until he was 20. It was from Hawtrey that Coward learned comic acting techniques and playwriting. He was drafted briefly into the British Army during World War I but was discharged for ill health. Coward appeared in the D. W. Griffith film Hearts of the World (1918) in an uncredited role. He found his voice and began writing plays that he and his friends could star in while at the same time writing revues.
He starred in one of his first full-length plays, the inheritance comedy I'll Leave It To You, in 1920 at the age of 20. The following year he completed a one-act satire, The Better Half, about a man's relationship with two women, and it had a short run at the Little Theatre, London in 1922. The play was thought to be lost until a typescript was rediscovered in 2007 in the archive of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, which at that time licensed all plays for performance in the UK , and imposed cuts or complete bans.[3]
After he enjoyed some moderate success with the Shaw-esque The Young Idea in 1923, the controversy surrounding his play The Vortex (1924), which contains many veiled references to drug abuse and homosexuality, made him an overnight sensation on both sides of the Atlantic. Coward followed this with three more major hits, Hay Fever, Fallen Angels (both 1925) and Easy Virtue (1926).
Much of Coward's best work came in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Enormous (and enormously popular) productions, such as the full-length operetta Bitter Sweet (1929) and Cavalcade (1931), a huge extravaganza requiring a very large cast, gargantuan sets and an exceedingly complex hydraulic stage, were interspersed with finely-wrought comedies such as Private Lives (1930), in which Coward himself starred alongside his most famous stage partner, Gertrude Lawrence; and the black comedy Design for Living (1932), written for Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne.
Coward again partnered with Lawrence in Tonight at 8:30 (1936), an ambitious cycle of ten short plays that were randomly "shuffled" to make up a different playbill of three plays each night. One of these plays, Still Life, was expanded into the 1945 David Lean film Brief Encounter. He was also a prolific writer of popular songs, and a lucrative recording contract with HMV allowed him to release a number of recordings, many now reissued on CD. Coward's most popular hits include the romantic I'll See You Again and Dear Little Café; and the comic Mad Dogs and Englishmen, The Stately Homes of England and (Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage) Mrs Worthington
World War II
The outbreak of World War II in 1939 saw Coward working harder than ever. When the war started he had only just left Paris. He took time off from writing to perform for the troops, but after was eager to return. Alongside his highly-publicised tours entertaining Allied troops, he was also engaged by the British Secret Service MI5 in intelligence work[4]. He was frustrated by the criticism he faced for his glamorous lifestyle, apparently living the high life while his countrymen suffered—especially his trips to America to sway opinion there.[5] Coward was unable to defend himself because he could not reveal that he was working for the Secret Service.
Had the Nazis invaded Britain, Coward would have been arrested and killed as he was on The Black Book along with other figures such as the socialist writer H. G. Wells. Before Coward's work for the Secret Service came to light, it was assumed the Nazis only targeted him as a homosexual.citation needed George VI, a personal friend, encouraged the government to award Coward a knighthood for his efforts in 1942. This was blocked by Winston Churchill, who disapproved of Coward's flamboyant lifestyle.[5] Churchill advised giving the official reason as Coward's ₤200 fine for spending ₤11,000 on a trip to America.
Coward wrote and released some extraordinarily popular songs during the war, the most famous of which are London Pride and Don't Let's Be Beastly To The Germans. He complained to Churchill, his frequent painting companion, that he felt he was not doing enough to support the war effort. Churchill suggested he make a movie based on the career of Captain Lord Louis Mountbatten. The result was the naval film drama In Which We Serve, which Coward served as writer, star, composer and co-director (alongside David Lean). The film was immensely popular on both sides of the Atlantic and Coward was awarded an honorary certificate of merit at the 1943 Academy Awards ceremony.[1]
In the 1940s Coward wrote some of his best plays. The social commentary This Happy Breed and the intricate semi-autobiographical comedy-drama Present Laughter (both 1939) were later combined with the hugely successful black comedy Blithe Spirit (1941) to form a West End triple-bill, which starred Coward in all three simultaneous productions. Blithe Spirit went on to make box-office records for a West End comedy that were not beaten until the 1970s,citation needed and was later filmed by David Lean.
Later works
Coward's popularity as a playwright declined sharply in the 1950s, with plays such as Quadrille, Relative Values, Nude with Violin and South Sea Bubble failing to find much favour with critics or audiences. Despite this he maintained a high public profile, continuing to write (and occasionally star in) moderately successful West End plays and musicals, performing an acclaimed solo cabaret act in Las Vegas (available on CD), and starring in films such as Bunny Lake is Missing, Around the World in 80 Days, Our Man in Havana, Boom! and The Italian Job.
After starring in a number of American TV specials in the late 1950s alongside Mary Martin, Coward left the UK for tax reasons. He first settled in Bermuda but later moved to Jamaica, where he remained for the rest of his life. His play Waiting in the Wings (1960), set in a rest home for retired actresses, marked a turning-point in his popularity, gaining plaudits from critics, who likened it to the work of Anton Chekhov.citation needed The late 1960s saw a revival in his popularity, with several new productions of his 1920s plays and a number of revues celebrating his music; Coward dubbed this comeback "Dad's Renaissance".
Coward's final stage work was Suite in Three Keys (1966), a trilogy set in a hotel penthouse suite, with him taking the lead roles in all three. The trilogy gained excellent reviews and did good box office business in the UK. Coward intended to star in Suite in Three Keys on Broadway but was unable to travel due to illness. Only two of the plays were performed in New York, with the title changed to Noël Coward in Two Keys and the lead taken by Hume Cronyn.
By now suffering from severe arthritis and bouts of memory loss, which affected his work in The Italian Job, Coward retired from the theatre. He was knighted in 1970, and died in Jamaica in March 1973 of heart failure. He was buried three days later on the brow of Firefly Hill, Jamaica, overlooking the north coast of the island. On 28 March 1984, a memorial stone was unveiled by the Queen Mother in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey.
As well as over 50 published plays and many albums' worth of original songs, Coward wrote comic revues, poetry, several volumes of short stories, the novel Pomp and Circumstance (1960) and three volumes of autobiography. Books of his song lyrics, diaries and letters have also been published. He was a spirited painter, and a volume containing reproductions of some of his artwork has also been published.
The Noël Coward Theatre on St Martin's Lane, originally opened in 1903, was renamed in his honour and re-opened on 1 June 2006, after extensive refurbishment, for the London premiere of Avenue Q.
The theatre opened in 1903 as the New Theatre, renamed the Albery Theatre in 1973. Coward made his West End début at the New Theatre, in 1920.
Private life
Coward was homosexual and never married, but he maintained close personal friendships with many women. These included actress and author Esmé Wynne-Tyson, his first collaborator and constant correspondent; the designer and lifelong friend Gladys Calthrop; secretary and close confidante Lorn Loraine; his muse, the gifted musical actress Gertrude Lawrence; actress Joyce Carey; compatriot of his middle period, the light comedy actress Judy Campbell; and (in the words of Cole Lesley) 'his loyal and lifelong amitié amoureuse', film star Marlene Dietrich.
He was a valued friend of Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Gene Tierney, Judy Garland, Elaine Stritch, Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. He was a close friend of Ivor Novello and Winston Churchill.
Coward's insights into the class system can be traced back to London life in World War I, when thousands of troops passed through the capital every day, and officers and other ranks met civilians in dozens of highly secret clubs.
Coward enjoyed a 19-year relationship with Prince George, Duke of Kent[6] and a liasion with the stage and film actor Graham Payn for several decades until Coward's death. Payn later co-edited with Sheridan Morley the collection of his diaries, published in 1982. He was also connected to composer Ned Rorem, with details of their relationship published in Rorem's diaries.
Coward refused to acknowledge his sexual orientation, wryly stating, "There is still a woman in Paddington Square who wants to marry me, and I don't want to disappoint her". From his youth Coward had a distaste for penetrative sex and held the modern gay scene in disdain.[7]
He was the president of The Actors' Orphanage, an orphanage supported by the theatrical industry. In that capacity he befriended the young Peter Collinson, who was in the care of the orphanage, becoming Collinson's godfather and helping him get started in show business. When Collinson was a successful director he invited Coward to play a role in the film The Italian Job; Graham Payn also played a small role.
Coward was a neighbour in Jamaica of James Bond's creator Ian Fleming and his wife Anne, the former Lady Rothermere. Though he was very fond of both of them, the Flemings' marriage was not a happy one, and Noël eventually tired of their constant bickering, as recorded in his diaries. When the first film adaptation of a James Bond novel, Dr. No was being produced, Coward was approached for the role of the villain. He is said to have responded, "Doctor No? No. No. No."citation needed
At a dinner welcoming Gene Tierney to London, "I want to tell you, Miss Tierney, you gave me one of the most memorable evenings I ever had in the Theater in your film Leave Her to Heaven. When I saw the expression on your face in the sequence in the in which you drowned the boy , I thought ' That was acting'."[8]
When speaking to Peter O'Toole about his performance in Lawrence of Arabia, he said "If you'd been any prettier, it would have been 'Florence of Arabia'."citation needed
When someone pointed out a rising young actor at a party with the words "Keir Dullea" Coward's instant reply was "Gone tomorrow."citation needed
The Papers of Noel Coward are held in the University of Birmingham Special Collections.
On the BBC Midweek radio programme on 11 October 2006 Hunter Davies revealed that Coward had told him during an interview that he liked to attend and watch hospital operations in his spare time; apparently when Davies started to push this line further Coward clammed up on the subject and would not elaborate.

|Since my last post about walkway design and possible driveway change, I have read many great threads. I too have the "Welcome to my garage door" syndrome, and the builder's special, "the foreboding front step" syndrome.
At this point, since we have to rebuild our front porch as it is cracked and sinking, I am changing hardscape to probably bluestone (can't match the brick), re-designing the walkway using curves etc., and maybe, if I can convince my husband, re-designing the driveway that has always bothered me. The porch and walk is a definite. The drive if cost isn't to crazy. I hate our two cars consuming the front of our house. The boat is new this year and that's adds to the cluttered look. That, I think we'll store at a boat yard off-season and on the right side of garage during the the season.
Our garage does not have a door leading into the house so people do use our front door but to get there, they have to squeeze by our cars. All of this bothers me but again my family is fine with the present driveway situation.
Please look at the photo's and if you could share any suggestions, I would really appreciate your input. I took pic's with car in drive and then put my car on the lawn where it would go if driveway is changed.
Also, the step at the door into the house, do you think I could raise the front porch foundation thus eliminating that stupid step? If so, we might need to add another step onto the porch unless re-grading would work.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Ally - you have to fix Photobucket so we can see the pics.
|Maro - I am confused, my pics showed up on my preview, when I did a test and I can see them now. Do you have any suggestions?
|Sorry -- I wrote without thinking. When I tried to enlarge the small pictures I couldn't enter PhotoB. I can see all the pics. Duh!

|Ally, your proposed new driveway layout, with the turnout, and curves looks very functional and a good use of space. Your walk to the front door should meet near this layout to direct guest to your front door.
Your garage like millions of others faces the front, but don't worry about it. There are more extreme cases of "Welcome to my garage", like my house and other recent posts.
From the photos the garage is very noticeable, only because of it's large white expanse in contrast to the rest of the house or the shadows of the porch. Your front door is hidden in the shadows of the porch overhang, which because of the post spacing doesn't call out the door either.
If the driveway is a hard sell with DH, then consider changing the garage door color and style to blend it in with the arches and shadows of the front porch, and change the front door color to bring it out of the shadows.
Also for the front step up into the house, don't forget about how much having some freeboard between the outside and inside protects against flooding.

|I'm with isabella--the garage door should not be white. Even the gray siding above attracts attention. Might use a color on the garage door like either the window trim or the darkest brick. A darker gray might also work, unless it introduces too many different colors. If you could play with Photoshop and experiment with colors, you might see what works best.

Liwu Hsu (PhD'12) Wins Dissertation Honor
Hsu Dissertation Honored by Marketing Science Institute
Product recalls: companies hate them; customers get annoyed by them. But how companies handle them makes all the difference in the world.
Liwu Hsu (PhD'12), who will defend his dissertation this spring, won a prestigious honorable mention in the 2011 Alden G. Clayton Doctoral Dissertation Proposal Competition for his dissertation "Can Online Chatter Kill a Giant? Insights into the Role of Brand Equity and Social Media during a Product Recall Crisis."
According to his doctoral advisor, Professor Shuba Srinivasan, "From 80 submitted papers, 168 marketing scholars selected one winner and four honorable mentions. It's a great honor for Liwu and the department." The annual award is given by the Marketing Science Institute. Hsu will begin as an assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Huntsville College of Business Administration in Fall 2012.
In his study, Hsu looks at how social media can help or hurt a company's shareholder value in a product recall crisis situation and provides insight into the potential moderators of brand equity. This study builds on brand research previously published by Professor Susan Fournier, one of his doctoral committee members.
In the event of a product recall, when a company denies a problem or even hesitates to acknowledge a rumor of recall, social media gives consumers the power to tarnish a company's reputation, increasing investors' concern about future company cash flows. Investors fear the initial costs of product recall and replacement, potential lawsuits, and potential new regulations, and stock value and reputation can take a big hit (even if it's temporary).
A big brand company can't readily hide its faults and provide an insurance-like protection of shareholder value. Company denials get countered by user stories and blogs spread the word. That in turn generates more criticism, and generates more ill will. "Negative buzz spreads quickly via social media," says Hsu, "and worse still, social media enables and encourages consumers to be more critical of companies and their brands. Moreover, it is increasingly difficult for a company to bury or hide from its mistakes on the web."
Hsu recommends that in a PR crisis, the CEO should respond proactively. Immediate solutions include creating a post, perhaps a video, to air out the problem, and the company's solution, immediately. "Share information efficiently, completely, and directly with consumers," he says. In recent years, Hsu explains, marketing dollars have increasingly shifted from traditional communication vehicles towards the Web 2.0 platform. Companies are learning that it is important to be continually communicating online, keeping the channels open for when the need arises.
Recent business scandals demonstrate that it's better to acknowledge a negative event quickly, admit fault, and then move on. The Internet assures that bad secrets never stay hidden for long.
BU MBAs Win MIT Sloan Case
Health Sector MBAs Solve Digital Marketing Case
By Lauren Dezenski
The team representing Boston University's Health Care Management MBA program won it all on February 24 at the MIT Sloan 2012 Healthcare Case Competition. The theme was Digital Marketing for Healthcare.
Michael Barrett, Timothy Chanoux, Anshuman Mirani, and Matthew Scott (all MBA'13) shared the $4,000 first-place check.
The BU MBA Health Sector students faced teams from Harvard, MIT, Babson, and Cornell. "It was really an honor to represent BU in this competition against so many good schools. It was an honor and exciting to come out on top," said Chanoux.
"Plus, we had a great time. It was great to meet a number of teams that all had great ideas," Mirani added.
First, the teams had to submit a qualifying application. Of the eighteen submissions, ten teams, including BU, were chosen for the competition. "We were given the case one week in advance of the presentation day," Mirani said. "We used the first days for brainstorming to be sure to cover all of our bases. That process really helped, and it's something that is a product of our education here at BU. At the competition, the Q&A's went really well, specifically because we debated all of these things among ourselves beforehand."
After making it through one round of presenting followed by a Q&A session, BU and one of three MIT teams were named the two finalists. Following the two presentations, "it took the judges 30 to 45 minutes to deliberate. We were expecting it to be ten minutes, but it shows how tough the competition was," said Chanoux.
The case was about developing a strategy for the launch of a kidney cancer drug by AVEO Pharmaceuticals (the sponsoring firm), which has just passed Phase III trials. Given the relatively small size and constrained marketing budget for AVEO, the teams had to design a digital media strategy. "We especially liked that all of the information in the case was actual market research done by AVEO, and it was a real business problem that they are currently facing," Mirani continued. "The judging panel included senior members of the management team of the company and other senior leaders from consulting as well as other health care organizations such as Veritas Health Systems."
"General feedback from the judges, and the reason we probably won," said Scott, "was that we had three very different concepts. We were the only group to talk about accountable care; we were the only team to come up with a name for the drug; and we were the only team to brand the research effort. Our BU preparation absolutely helped, especially with the accountable care. The education helped us have a good sense of these things. When we got to finals, we really won with our Q&A."

HSMP Alumni Group Mentoring Program
By Natalie Truesdell (MBA, MPH '07) and Naomi Muse (MBA '07)
The Health Sector Management Alumni Mentorship program was developed in the fall of 2011 in response both to the alumni board's interest in further connecting with students and to feedback from a broad alumni survey indicating that graduates were interested in structured mentorship opportunities. The program was developed as a group mentoring model pairing a single alumnus with several students to facilitate mutual learning and maximize the alumni-matching process.
The program spans six months, from October through April of each academic year. Students and mentors are matched based on career interests, dual-degree status, and students' specific areas of desired learning. Students and mentors coordinate their own schedules with the expectation that the groups will meet once a month over the six-month period.
This month, we are collecting mid-point feedback from student and mentors that will be used to further develop and improve the program. Thus far, we have received very positive comments from students. Below are examples from two students. The first is a "career switcher" and thus highly eager to have the opportunity to develop a relationship with someone in the health sector field:
"It has been invaluable to be in contact with a professional who has been through the same program I am in now, especially as a PEMBA and career switcher. My mentor has been really great at connecting me with other alumni and has opened me up to a number of career options."
Another student explains,
"I've been able to bring what I've learned to the classroom, and ask questions of my mentor about how the concepts I am learning apply in the 'real world.' I have found that my classmates in other disciplines—finance, for example—are jealous of the alumni mentorship opportunity I have had."
Program Overview:
- Number of students in the program: 29
- Number of alumni mentors: 10
- Alumni class years represented: 1995- 2011
- Health sector fields represented and number of participating alumni in each field:
- Biotechology: 1
- Pharma: 1
- Medical devices: 1
- Consulting: 3
- Health care delivery: 4
- Job positions and companies of participating alumni:
- Sales, New England Area Account Manager, BioSero, LLC
- Manager, ECG Management Consultants
- CEO, Propel Careers
- TeleHealth and TeleMedicine Program Manager, Children's Hospital Boston
- Consultant, PricewaterhouseCoopers
- Vice President of Operations, post acquisition integration, Beacon Health Strategies
- Health Industries Associate, PricewaterhouseCoopers
- Product Manager, Philips Healthcare, (looking at product marketing, strategy, roadmaps and business development)

Boston University MBA Team Wins NAAMBA Global Case Competition
A team of Boston University School of Management MBA students swept the finals in the National Association of Asian MBAs (NAAMBA) Global Case Competition on September 9, 2011, in New York.
Congratulations to team leader Roman Sverdlov (MBA '12) and his colleagues Sabrina Grijalva Wells (MBA '12), and Sidharth Ramsinghaney (MBA '12), who competed against finalists from Purdue, Syracuse University, and the University of Southern California. Each group presented a marketing plan to position Singapore as an ideal career destination to young Asian professionals in the US.
The winning Boston University team will receive a trip to Singapore to examine the dynamics of doing business in Asia through networking opportunities with senior management at multinational companies.
NAAMBA is a leading non-profit professional organization dedicated to cultivating global Asian leaders. According to Jino Ahn, founder and president of NAAMBA, "The Global MBA Case Competition is an opportunity for NAAMBA members to exhibit and refine their business skills under pressure, which will help them tremendously as they pursue career opportunities."
Tze Min Lim, Area Director at the competition's sponsor, Contact Singapore, added, "Asia has become a hub for business and finance, and Singapore is at the epicenter with more than 7,000 multinational companies. As businesses continue to expand into Asia, experience and knowledge of this region is invaluable. The Global MBA Case Competition gives students the chance to examine how they can best position themselves to seize career and business opportunities in Asia."

Asus Touts MeMO Tablets
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Just a few days after the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) wrapped up for this year, computing giant Asus has made an announcement which could have big repercussions throughout the tablet industry.
Following the success of its Google (GOOG) Nexus 7 Android tablet, the Taiwanese firm has announced its own MeMO Pad line of tablets - and wait until you see the price.
Based, in part, on the knowledge it gained making the Nexus 7 tablet, Asus' MeMO will also have a 7-inch touchscreen (although, at 1024 by 600 pixels, it's not as sophisticated), 1 GB of RAM, at least 8 GB of storage, a 1 MP camera on the back, and a 1 GHz processor made by VIA Technologies. The device runs on the Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) operating system.
The MeMO Pad has battery life of up to 7 hours on a charge and weighs a hair over 13 ounces.OK, here comes the best statistic - pricing. The 8 MB MeMO Pad will retail for $149. No price is listed for the 16 GB model in the overnight press release. It will come in three vibrant colors with names like "Sugar White", "Titanium Gray" and "Cherry Pink." Asus says the MeMO Pad will be available sometime this month "in selected markets from authorized Asus retailers." Expect both Amazon (AMZN) and Barnes & Noble (BKS) to have something to say about a new, challenging entry into the sub-$200 tablet marketplace. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Canada Condemns Renewed Violence in Nigeria and Calls for Reconciliation
(No. 96 - March 9, 2010 - 11:20 a.m. ET) The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today issued the following statement regarding the latest outbreak of violence in Plateau State, Nigeria:
"Canada condemns in the strongest of terms the renewed violence and the loss of life near the city of Jos.
"On behalf of all Canadians, I offer my sincere condolences to the families and friends of those killed in the violence and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.
"Canada supports the efforts of Goodluck Jonathan, in his role as Acting President, in tackling Nigeria's governance and security challenges, including the recurring violence in Plateau State. We are particularly pleased by Mr. Jonathan's commitment to ensuring accountability for those who have perpetuated the inter-communal conflict in recent years.
"We encourage the Government of Nigeria to continue to pursue its efforts to address the root causes of this recurring violence, and urge communities to continue working together to build a peaceful society."
For more information on Canada's engagement in Nigeria, please consult High Commission of Canada Nigeria.

Update Oct 5, 2010
I have to say that last week was one of the most special nights I've ever had. For many years, I thought if I had a chance to go back to just one city, one building one more time, where would it be? Deep in my heart I've probably always known it was New York's Madison Square Garden.
What made it even more special was being able to fulfill an even larger, more meaningful dream: that of tag-teaming with Natalya, David Hart Smith, and Tyson Kidd, the Hart Dynasty. I often wished that I'd somehow find a way to join them; to wrestle in MSG is every young wrestler's dream. I couldn't help but feel the presence of both my parents, Davey, and the ghosts of too many wrestlers gazing down from heaven. I can't tell fans just how impossible this all was only months ago, but to walk out past my wife Steph, my oldest daughter Jade, her man Kyle, and my granddaughter Krya with my theme song blasting was just incredible.

Update Aug 23, 2010
Summerslam has come and gone and, in so many ways, it all seems like a crazy dream. Tagging up with John Cena was a personal pleasure and it was more than a treat to sit down with him before the match and watch him lay down the strategies of our team from start to finish. Despite my so-called bout with Vince McMahon at WrestleMania, this scenario at Summerslam would be much closer to the types of matches I had 12 years ago.

Update July 18, 2010
It was grey and hazy on a Monday afternoon with dark clouds seemingly far off in the distance. I was riding my new Specialized bicycle enjoying my favorite ride on the bike path heading West towards the Pumphouse Theater and Edworthy Park. As it got closer, I couldn't help but vividly remember my 2002 stroke. Within seconds, it started to rain small hail stones that clattered off my helmet. I shook my head thinking, "Calgary weather", but within seconds balls started whipping harder suddenly; growing into golfball-sized hail stones.
Update July 1, 2010
I feel that it's ridiculous for anyone to think they are serving the best interests of Owen's memory or his children to pretend he wasn't a wrestler. Not only was he a wrestler, he was a great one and proud of it. I personally believe Martha Hart has done nothing to keep his memory alive and sadly, he fades from view a little more every year. I do suspect this lawsuit is more about publicity, ego, and small-mindedness than it is about pro-wrestling and all of those that are in it.
Update June 26, 2010
As far as the recent lawsuit filed by Martha, I'm working on a detailed response that I will post soon, but I think my fans might be a little surprised at my take on things. Aside from that, I know that the WWE Universe is more than curious to know what my status is anymore and the truth is nobody knows, including me. There are a lot rumors out there about me and all I can say is that they're rarely true. I will have some major announcements forthcoming, but right now I'm going to keep the lid on things because I'm not looking for any distractions.

Update May 27, 2010
"First, I want to congratulate the Hitmen on a great season despite losing in overtime to the Brandon Wheat Kings in the semi-final of the Memorial Cup. It was such a thrill for me to plant my lips on the Ed Chynoweth trophy when they won the WHL championship. Much like back in 99' when some jerk playing for the Ottawa 67's sucker-shot Brad Stuart, who then couldn't play because of a severe concussion in the final of which we barely lost in overtime, I can't help but wonder how much different things might have gone if the jerk off Tri City American player hadn't slashed our best player Brandon Kozan across the ankle in the WHL final round, which very likely effected everything. To cheap-shot second-rate players like that, all I can say is what goes around comes around. Although we've come close in 15 years to winning the Memorial Cup twice, I know that one of these days, we'll finally drink from the silver cup.

WrestleFest May 22
I deeply regret having to disappoint my fans in the Bay Area but, unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the BTW WrestleFest tomorrow (May 22). Not only will I miss my Bay Area fans but I'll miss many of my peers past and present, and future.
Update May 19, 2010
How cool it is to be back in Toronto where I have so many fond memories. I'm presently in town trying to catch up with a million friends and still trying to shake off my reoccurring disbelief that I'm the United States Champion for the fifth time. I ask myself if that means that I'm the best wrestler in the United States? Does this somehow top the Hart Foundation's 19-second win over The Bolsheviks at WrestleMania VI? Does this top peeling off a Tie Domi jersey and Hitmen jersey to reveal a steel chest plate that knocked Bill Goldberg out cold? I also find it oddly amusing that I won the US title in Canada.
Update May 12, 2010
Wow, what a week. I finally became a proud grandfather yesterday when my oldest, Jade, gave birth to a 8lbs., 11oz. beautiful baby girl named Kyra Beans Hart. To be a grandpop is such an important role in a child's life and I look forward to being a big part of her life and the best grandpa ever. Like all proud grandfathers, I truly feel blessed at this time and I also congratulate her mother, Julie, on a job well done from the very beginning.
Brothers Gotta Hug Sale
Update April 18, 2010
What a $%#@ week! I thought that this week was going to be a week filled with nothing but great memories, especially since I was going to be a part of both WWE supergroups: Raw and Smackdown. I had such a terrific time but, for me, it was a special treat to be back in Europe again. I finally made it back to Hanover, where I worked early in my career back in 1981. Hanover was always a city I loved. Although I've been back to Germany many times over the years, the WWE, oddly enough, never came to Hanover. I finished the tour with hugs and smiles and anxiously awaited what would've been my triumphant return to the New York area for Raw this Monday at the Meadowlands. I

Update April 7, 2010
I'm scrambling now to make my way to the Calgary airport. I'm looking very much to this WWE tour of Europe and the markets that probably loved me the most. So many memories; Berlin, I really had some terrific matches there. I hope that my German fans will come out for what could be my last time ever. I recall Vince McMahon telling
me once "that Germany has never come back since you left in '97".
From there Glasgow, another city filled with great memories, in and out of the ring. Although I saw a great crowd turnout for my book signings last summer, I hope Glasgow and all the Hitman loyalists come out for the pink and black.
