WWE SmackDown is a professional wrestling/sports entertainment television program that debuted on August 26, 1999. Prior to September 1, 2005, SmackDown was broadcast on Thursday nights; from September 9, 2005 to January 9, 2015, it has broadcast on Friday nights. The show will return to Thursday nights beginning on January 15, 2015.[3] SmackDown originally debuted in the United States on the UPN television network on April 29, 1999, but after the merger of UPN and the WB, SmackDown began airing on The CW in September 2006. The show remained on the CW network for two years until it was moved to MyNetworkTV in October 2008.[4][5] SmackDown moved to Syfy on October 1, 2010, where it remains today.[6][7] On November 6, 2014, it was reported by Marc Graser of Variety that the show would move back to Thursday nights beginning January 15, 2015, shifting WWE NXT to Wednesday nights at 8:00pm ET, according to Michelle Wilson, WWE's chief revenue and marketing officer.[8][9][10] Since 1999, SmackDown has been aired in Canada matching the U.S. airtime and currently airs on Sportsnet 360. ThoughSmackDown returns to Thursday nights in 2015 in the USA, the show will move to Wednesday nights in Canada instead because of the National NHL Coverage being aired on Sportsnet 360 Thursday nights for the next 12 years.[11]
Since its first episode, WWE SmackDown has been broadcast from 162 different arenas, in 147 cities and towns, in seven different nations (the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Iraq in 2006 and 2007 for specials Tribute to the Troops, Japan in 2005, Italy in 2007 and Mexico in 2011).
Due to time differences, SmackDown premieres a few hours earlier in Ireland and the United Kingdom and a day earlier in Australia, Singapore, Philippines and India than the United States. For international broadcast listings, see below. The show celebrated its 15th anniversary on October 10, 2014.[1]

Original format (1999–2001)[edit]
The early set featured an oval-shaped Titantron entrance and stage (dubbed the "Ovaltron") which made it stand out from the Raw set with its rectangular Titantrons. Later productions gained the ability to move the Ovaltron either to the left or to the right of the stage. Throughout the show's early existence, The Rock routinely called SmackDown "his" show, in reference to the fact that the name was derived from one of his catchphrases, "Lay the smackdown."[12] In August 2001, as part of celebrating SmackDown's second anniversary, the show received a new logo and set. The last SmackDown to use the previous entrance stage saw Alliance member Rhyno gore federation member Chris Jericho through the center screen, destroying part of the set. As a result of that incident, the new set consisted of a fist centered above the entrance, and many glass panes along the sides strongly resembling shattered glass
Brand Extension (2002–2005)[edit]
In spring 2002, WWE underwent a process which it called the "Brand Extension".[13] WWE divided itself into two de facto wrestling promotions with separate rosters, storylines and authority figures.[13] Raw and SmackDown would host each division, give its name to the division and essentially compete against each other. The split resulted from WWE purchasing its two biggest competitors, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), which resulted in the roster and championships doubling in size. The brand extension was publicly announced during a telecast of Raw on March 18, 2002, initiated with the first-ever draft a week later on the March 25, 2002 edition of Raw and became official the following week on the April 1, 2002 edition of Raw.
Wrestlers became show-exclusive, wrestling for their specific show only. At the time this excluded the WWE Undisputed Championship and WWE Women's Championship, as those WWE titles would be defended on both shows.[13] In August 2002, WWE Undisputed Champion Brock Lesnar refused to defend the title on Raw, in effect causing his title to become exclusive to SmackDown[13] The following week on Raw, General Manager Eric Bischoff awarded a newly-instated World Heavyweight Championship to Raw's designated #1 contender, Triple H. Because since the WWE Undisputed Championship was now SmackDown exclusive it was no longer seen as "Undisputed." Following this, the WWE Women's Championship soon became Raw-exclusive as well. As a result of the Brand Extension, an annual "draft lottery" was instituted to exchange members of each roster and generally refresh the lineups.
On June 6, 2005, WWE Champion John Cena switched brands from SmackDown to Raw as part of the month-long Draft Lottery. This effectively left SmackDown without a world title. On June 23, 2005, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long announced a six-man elimination match between John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Booker T, Chris Benoit, The Undertaker, Christian (replacing The Big Show, who was picked by Raw in the lottery) and Muhammad Hassan to crown the first SmackDown Champion. On the June 30 episode of SmackDown, JBL won the match. Long appeared afterward and stated that even though JBL had won the match, SmackDown did not need a Championship anymore, instead revealing that JBL was the number one contender for the World Heavyweight championship, at which point Batista, the World Heavyweight Champion, entered the ring as SmackDown's final draft lottery pick.
Move to Friday nights with various networks (2005–present)[edit]
WWE's "lame duck" status with Viacom on Spike TV may have prompted it to move SmackDown to the Friday night death slot for the Fall 2005 season. UPN received better ratings on Fridays than it did before with its movie night. In addition, UPN had been able to hold on to the ratings from Thursday nights, most notably with comedian Chris Rock's sitcom Everybody Hates Chris. In January 2006, prior to the announcement of the CW Network, it was announced that UPN had renewed SmackDown for two more years.[14]
Following the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise, SmackDown (renamed Friday Night SmackDown) moved into Enterprise's former timeslot in the United States. WWE promoted this move with the tagline "TV that's changing Friday nights." Friday Night SmackDown made its season premiere on September 9, 2005. The program still aired on Thursdays in Canada on the Score. In the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, their stations Sky Sports and Fox8 air SmackDown on Fridays before the United States due to the time difference. This is the first time a major weekly WWE show airs internationally before it hits screens in the U.S.A.
The events of Hurricane Katrina affected the first edition of Friday Night SmackDown in the U.S. due to the special fund-raising concert that aired on UPN at the same time that the first edition would have gone out, resulting in only the second hour of the show being shown on UPN. The first hour was instead streamed from WWE's website. Other countries, including Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and the Philippines, received the full two-hour show. WWOR-TV (My 9, New York, New York) also aired both hours of the show on tape delay on Saturday, due to a previous commitment to broadcast the New York Yankees on Friday nights.
At the SmackDown taping on January 10, 2006 that aired January 13, Batista had to forfeit the World Heavyweight Championship because of a triceps injury suffered at the hands of Mark Henry the previous week. SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long decreed a Battle Royal for the vacant title. The winner was Kurt Angle, who, at the time, was on the Raw brand, but switched to the SmackDown brand for the duration of his reign as champion.
On the April 7, 2006 edition of SmackDown, General Manager Theodore Long announced that the King of the Ring tournament would return after a four-year hiatus as a SmackDown-exclusive tournament. The tournament ended at Judgment Day 2006 with Booker T as the winner, defeating Bobby Lashley in the final.
On June 9, 2006, Tazz left the SmackDown brand to join the new ECW brand, leaving the color-commentator position vacant. However, on June 11, at One Night Stand 2006, JBL revealed that he would be the new color commentator for SmackDown, a position he held until December 2007 when he left to become an in-ring competitor on Raw. Jonathan Coachman replaced him afterwards. Eventually, Coachman was released by WWE the following year.
The CW[edit]
On September 22, 2006, Friday Night SmackDown debuted on The CW, a joint venture between CBS Corporation (owner of UPN) and Warner Bros. Entertainment (a subsidiary of Time Warner, majority owner of The WB).
For four weeks before the official premiere of Friday Night SmackDown on the CW on September 22, 2006, Tribune Broadcasting television stations in six major markets (including WPIX in New York City and KTLA in Los Angeles) aired WWE's Friday Night SmackDown.[15] (This formed part of the preparation for the impending removal of UPN in several markets due to the debut of MyNetworkTV on September 5, 2006.) Two other future affiliates of The CW, WCWJ in Jacksonville, Florida and WIWB in Green Bay, Wisconsin, also aired SmackDown in early September.
The transition to the CW caused an interruption in the broadcast of SmackDown in the state of Utah beginning in June when KPNZ in Salt Lake City stopped airing all UPN programs early. As of 2009, KUCW broadcasts the show. In Hawaii, SmackDown returned in late 2006, airing on a CW digital subchannel of Honolulu's FOX affiliate KHON-TV (Channel 2), which has received statewide carriage over Oceanic Time Warner Cable. Since the move to the CW Network, Friday Night SmackDown has shown a major increase in ratings now averaging a 3.0 national rating. In addition, SmackDown has become the second-highest-watched program on The CW.
On April 20, 2007, SmackDown celebrated its 400th episode.[13] Ratings success soon followed. On June 8, 2007, Friday Night SmackDown made CW history by making a three-way tie with CBS and ABC in the key ad demographic (adults, 18-49) by drawing a 1.5 rating each. Two weeks later, on June 22, 2007, Friday Night SmackDown again made CW history by tying the network for first place in the key ad demographic (adults, 18-49) and being the second-most-watched network program at 9 p.m. for the night. The CW had not performed as well at any time slot since America's Next Top Model the previous March. The following week, on June 29, 2007, Friday Night SmackDown helped The CW claim the top spot in the key demographic (adults, 18-49) for Friday. CBS got the overall lead but The CW got top spot for the Adults 18-49 by registering a 1.4 rating followed by CBS and NBC at 1.3, ABC at 1.2, and FOX at 0.9.[16][17] Then two weeks later, on Friday, July 13, 2007, Friday Night SmackDown made network history by placing first in the 18-49 demographic and becoming the most watched show at the 9 p.m. hour on network television. This is the first time anything has placed this well on The CW. SmackDown became a hit show on Friday nights winning the demographics for young males, and ranking second on the demographics (18-49) for Friday nights.
On October 16, 2007, it was announced that the SmackDown and ECW brands would begin a "talent exchange," allowing their respective talent to appear and compete on either brand, as ECW was broadcast live from the same arena where Smackdown is taped.[18][19]
Jim Ross became the new play-by-play announcer for SmackDown, while Michael Cole (SmackDown commentator for nine years from its launch in 1999 until June 23, 2008) moved to Raw. WWE also drafted the WWE Champion Triple H to SmackDown, which allowed SmackDown to feature two world championships on the brand, as Edge was World Heavyweight Champion. With Triple H bringing the WWE Championship to SmackDown, Raw was left without a world title, but on the June 30, 2008 edition of Raw, after Edge was attacked by Batista, CM Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and became the new World Heavyweight Champion, bringing the World Heavyweight Championship back to Raw for the first time since 2005. In August 2008, Tazz returned to SmackDown as color commentator, due in part to Foley's departure from WWE as his contract was not renewed. A couple of months later in late-2008, Tazz decided to let his contract expire, so he was replaced by Todd Grisham, who was the color commentator on Raw, making the SmackDown announce team consist of Grisham and Ross. Also that year, for the first time in the brand's history, a women's exclusive championship was introduced, the WWE Divas Championship, a counterpart to the WWE Women's Championship which up until this time was the only active championship competed for by Divas, but it was exclusive to the WWE Raw brand, meaning that the divas on SmackDown had no championship to compete for until now. Michelle McCool became the inaugural champion by defeating Natalya on July 20, 2008 at The Great American Bash 2008.
Friday Night SmackDown debuted on MyNetworkTV in the United States on October 3, 2008, featuring performers from the Raw, SmackDown and ECW programs. WWE SmackDown also debuted with a new theme-song. The premiere episode on MyNetworkTV attracted 3.2 million viewers. While the viewership dropped, SmackDown pulled the highest ratings to date for MyNetworkTV and pushed the network to fifth place, ahead of its former network The CW. The premiere was also first place in male 18-49 demographics.[20]
On February 15, 2009, at No Way Out, Edge won the World Heavyweight Championship in Raw's Elimination Chamber match, thus making it a SmackDown exclusive title and giving SmackDown two top tier championships.[21] On March 20, 2009, WWE SmackDown celebrated its 500th episode.[22]
As a result of the 2009 WWE Draft in April, WWE Champion Triple H was drafted to the Raw brand, while the World Heavyweight Championship also moved to the Raw brand after Edge lost the title to John Cena at WrestleMania XXV.[23] SmackDown would regain the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash (2009) when Edge defeated John Cena to win the championship.[24] In addition, SmackDown and Raw would exchange both women-exclusive championships with Raw gaining the WWE Divas Championship and SmackDown gaining the WWE Women's Championship. Also, SmackDown and Raw exchanged the WWE United States Championship (which became exclusive to Raw) and the WWE Intercontinental Championship (subsequently exclusive to the SmackDown brand), for the first time since August 25, 2002.[23]
On September 15, 2009, WWE Home Video released a DVD set entitled The Best of SmackDown 10th Anniversary.
On April 19, 2010, the eruption of something in Iceland left ash hovering over Europe and caused the grounding of many flights, leaving most of the WWE Raw superstars stranded in Belfast, Northern Ireland. To keep the WWE Universe from thinking that Raw was cancelled for the night, SmackDown took over Raw (with the exception of former SmackDown superstars Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov, who were current Raw superstars) and fought over there. The superstars included Rey Mysterio, Edge, CM Punk, Chris Jericho and more. This was the first (and so far, the only) time that Raw was titled Monday Night SmackDown, although it was never mentioned as such on the air.
On April 12, 2010, it was announced that SmackDown would move from MyNetworkTV to Syfy, a network which previously aired NXT and ECW, in a two-year deal that also includes an optional third year.[6][7][25] Retaining its Friday night timeslot, SmackDown made its live premiere on Syfy on October 1, 2010 and there's been talk about having live editions of the show on WWE PPV weekends.[6] According to the Los Angeles Times, the move sees Syfy paying close to $30 million for the show as opposed to the $20 million paid by its former network MyNetworkTV.[7] The premiere of SmackDown on Syfy followed a special "pre-game" show hosted by Michael Cole. In 2011, the Brand Extension came to an end, resulting in Raw talent being able to appear on SmackDown and vice versa. Also in late 2011, a special episode of SmackDown debuted branded Super SmackDown Live which would then be the name of all live editions of SmackDown, taking place on a Tuesday.
Due to the move to an NBC Universal Cable network, SmackDown is now advertised more frequently on Syfy's sister network, USA Network, which airs Raw. Same-week encores of SmackDown were also added to Universal HD's, and mun2's Saturday night schedule as a result of the move in the spot previously held by NXT and ECW. On February 4, 2011, Booker T made a return on SmackDown as a commentator replacing Matt Striker.
On the special live August 30, 2011 episode, it was announced that wrestlers from Raw could now appear every week on SmackDown. This mirrored the proclamation made on Raw the previous day where SmackDown wrestlers could now appear every week on Raw. These moves made both programs full roster "supershows", effectively ending the Brand Extension.
October 14, 2011's broadcast of SmackDown (episode 635) made the show the second-longest-running weekly episodic television series of American television history (behind Monday Night Raw, which surpassed that mark on August 2, 2005). On April 1, 2012, at WrestleMania 28, John Laurinaitis became GM of both Raw and SmackDown after Team Johnny defeated Team Teddy. However, on June 17, 2012, at No Way Out, after John Cena defeated Big Show in a Steel cage match, he was fired by Vince McMahon. On the August 3, 2012 episode of SmackDown, Mr. McMahon named Booker T The SmackDown General Manager. In addition, Booker named Theodore Long and Eve as his assistants. Josh Matthews replaced him on the commentary table along with Michael Cole. John Layfield returned to WWE in September 2012 and became a commentator for the show as well. On January 18, 2013, SmackDown celebrated its 700th episode. Vickie Guerrero became General Manager on July 19, 2013 and was fired the previous year. The show is also run frequently by WWE COO Triple H. Past episodes of Smackdown are now viewable on the video streaming website Hulu along with episodes of WWE Superstars and ECW.[26]
In August 2014, it was rumored that the show would move back to Thursday nights.[27] As of October 4, 2014, Smackdown will remain on Friday nights.[28]
On October 10, 2014, Smackdown celebrated its 15th Anniversary.[1] The 15th season premiere opened with a new theme, "Centuries" by Fall Out Boy. To help celebrate the 15th anniversary Stephanie McMahon came out first, then John Laurinaitis and Theodore Long, respectively. Laurinaitis and Long kept one uping each other for the main event of the night until McMahon decided to keep the 15 tag team match that Long suggested with Laurinaitis and Long being the head of each team like WrestleMania XXVIII.[29][30] Long's team won the match.
On November 6, 2014, the rumor to move SmackDown back to Thursday nights was made official by Syfy and WWE.[8] NXT currently airs on Thursday nights, although with SmackDown beginning to air on Thursday nights starting January 15, 2015, NXT will move to Wednesday nights on WWE.com to accommodate the move of SmackDown back to Thursday nights.[9] The return to Thursday nights is expected to help attract a younger audience to Syfy, as well as more premium advertising dollars from marketers, who tend to spend more to promote their products, especially film releases, on the night as consumers head into the weekend.[10]
Inclusion in Merriam-Webster[edit]
On July 10, 2007, Merriam-Webster announced it would include the word smackdown in Webster's Dictionary.[31][32] Merriam Webster defined a "smackdown" as:
- The act of knocking down or bringing down an opponent
- A contest in entertainment wrestling
- A decisive defeat
- A confrontation between rivals or competitors
(The Oxford English Dictionary traces the use of the word smackdown in English back at least as far as 1990, but notes that a professional wrestling television show "popularised" the term.)
From October 26, 2012 to April 2014, WWE SmackDown began using "Born 2 Run" by 7Lions as its theme song, with "This Life" by Cody B. Ware serving as the secondary theme, then a swap was made, as "Born 2 Run" is used as a secondary theme, when "This Life" is used as SmackDown's main theme. Prior to October 26, 2012, SmackDown opened with "Know Your Enemy" by Green Day while "Hangman" by Rev Theory served as the secondary theme song.[33] Upon SmackDown's debut on Syfy in 2010, it replaced the previous theme song "Let it Roll" by Divide the Day.[34]
WWE tapes SmackDown on Tuesday evenings to air Friday evenings on Syfy the same week. However, SmackDown has aired occasional live specials on Tuesday nights (which are then replayed in its usual Friday night timeslot).
The show began broadcasting in HD beginning with the January 25, 2008 edition of SmackDown, where a new set (which became universal for all WWE weekly programming) debuted. Following the first broadcast in HD, the exclamation mark used since the show's inception disappeared from all references pertaining to "SmackDown", including the official logo, which resembles the 2001-08 logo but with a darker blue scheme. As of August 3, 2012, the show has used the modified WWE HD universal set, which debuted at Raw 1000 on July 23.[35]
From September 21, 2012 – October 26, 2012, October 4, 2013 – November 1, 2013 and October 3–31, 2014, WWE worked in conjunction with Susan G. Komen for the Cure to raise awareness for breast cancer by adorning the SmackDown set with pink ribbons and a special pink middle-rope in the ring. SmackDown's ring ropes were usually blue from 1999-2012 (although they were black for a period between 2001 and 2002). They remained blue until December 2012 when they were permanently changed to white, with all WWE programming now using white ring ropes.
On August 22, 2014, SmackDown switched to a full 16:9 letterbox presentation, with a down-scaled version of the native HD feed on a 4:3 SD feed. Like Raw (which also switched to a full 16:9 letterbox presentation four days earlier on August 18), the new WWE logo is seen on the ring's turnbuckle covers and also, on the lower-right hand corner of the screen. A week later (August 29), the Syfy network logo moved to the lower left-hand corner of the screen. Although the graphics have been re-positioned, SmackDown still uses a variation of the graphics package that has been in use since its first HD broadcast in January 2008.
Special episodes[edit]
Throughout its broadcast history, the show has aired editions that have different themes. These include tributes to various professional wrestlers who have recently died or retired from actively performing, as well as episodes commemorating various show milestones or anniversaries.
On-air personalities[edit]
The show features various on-air personalities including the wrestlers themselves, ring announcers, divas, commentators and on-screen authority figures. SmackDown also has had various recurring on-air segments hosted by members of the roster.
Before the "supershows", the brand extenstion championships were exclusive to Smackdown were seen. On the special live August 30, 2011 episode, it was announced that wrestlers from Raw could now appear every week on SmackDown. This mirrored the proclamation made on Raw the previous day where SmackDown wrestlers could now appear every week on Raw. These moves made both programs full roster "supershows", effectively ending the Brand Extension. All championships can occur now on either show.
International broadcast[edit]

In addition to broadcasts on Syfy, Universal HD, mun2 and AFN Xtra in the United States,[5][36] WWE SmackDown also appears on-air internationally.
Since 1999, SmackDown has been aired in Canada matching the U.S. airtime and currently airs on Sportsnet 360.
With SmackDown returning to Thursday nights in 2015, the show will move to Wednesday nights instead because of the national NHL coverage is being aired on Sportsnet 360 Thursday nights for the next 12 years.[11][37]

Amazing cards
Sketched in Love Save the Date Cards Got both my save the date and wedding invitation from here and they did a fabulous job! They sent me coupons so I never paid full price. They also called me when they thought a certain font was too hard to read and worked with me on changing it to make it perfect before printing. Great customer care and great products!
Very please
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Cards Great card. Was able to get a no photo option through CS. Great CS btw.
Great save the dates
Sketched in Love Save the Date Cards Save the dates were shipped very quickly and were excellent quality. Would highly recommend. Designing program could have been more user friendly but overall very satisfied.
Excellent Quality
Sketched in Love Save the Date Cards Overall excellent quality! I was worried they would be a little flimsy, but the paper quality is excellent! The program to design the cards can be a little difficult to work with, but just be patient with it. The end product is definitely worth it!

Add Some Holiday Cheer with These Seasonal Add-ons.
Candy, Cinnamon and Nutmeg.
Ahhh, the Sweet Smell of…Your Dog?
Anyone who's had their pet groomed notices two things right away: how great their pet looks and…how great they smell!
Human emotions and memories are strongly linked to the sense of smell. This is particularly true during the holidays and colder months when comforting aromas are swirling around everywhere…even on our pets. An important finishing touch in the grooming process, fragrances will remind customers of the positive experience they had at their pet's salon.
In addition to using fragrance on their canine customers, many groomers sell bottles of colognes for dog owners to use between grooming sessions. Many groomers and salons offer special holiday themed add-ons such as seasonally scented colognes, but the holiday spirit doesn't stop there.
A professional grooming job isn't complete until you wrap it up and tie it in a bow – especially during the holidays. Finishing touches such as printed ribbon and bows make pets and their owners feel special. Some of the most popular ways to add some holiday cheer to the grooming experience are seasonal colognes, decorative bandanas, printed ribbon, festive bows and even nail polish. These festive finishing touches come in a wide variety of styles covering your every need for fall and winter holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah.
As the holidays draw near, remember that pets like to celebrate too. Whether you're a groomer or just a pet lover, you can quickly and easily add some holiday cheer by including your four-footed companions in the celebration with some festive finishing touches from Ryan's Pet Supplies.

NBBL Top 4 2012: Player Review
May 29th, 2012 · 1 Comment
The NBBL Top 4 level was a bit lower this season in my opinion. The winners from Breitengüssbach deserved the victory because of their endless will and deeper rotation as they had 11 players capable of contributing on this level. Urspring had their trauma in the semi-final where they were up 17 points in the […]

March 19th, 2012 · No Comments
The German U19 League NBBL is developing into one of the most interesting youth leagues to follow in Europe.

NIJT Belgrade 2012: the Wings
March 3rd, 2012 · 4 Comments
After a bucket full of talented guards, the prospects on the wing positions were rather limited. We picked out only four players that were worth of being talked about with two hard workers in the main focus: Nikola Cvorovic and Sinisa Cvetanovic.

Book Review: Fabulous Felted Hand-Knits: Wonderful Wearables & Home Accents by Jane Davis
By Sandy Amazeen Mar 31, 2006, 7:22 GMT
Felting has taken the knitting world by storm, and with these 30 fabulous projects, knitters will effortlessly add this stylish new technique to their repertoire. All the basics are covered and fully photographed, including which yarns to use, how to create swatch samples, and how to knit evenly. Easy-to-follow instructions, illustrations, and photos accompany each item, and encourage beginners to test out new skills and experiment on their own. Start ...more
If you have ever accidentally shrunk a sweater in the washing machine then know it or not, you were felting. Now learn how easy it is to create an assortment of lively and durable items using hand knit fabrics felted in your washing machine. Designer Jane Davis takes you through the process from selecting the appropriate yarns, swatching, needle sizes, basting and forming to the actual washing process, drying and the care of your completed projects. A list of abbreviations and knitting terms is located at the back of the book but assumes the reader knows how to knit.
Beginning with a very easy pincushion to learn the basics, then moving on to progressively more challenging designs like a cut and sew vest, this book invites the knitter to look at their work in a different way. Many of the projects like the Ocean Waves scarf incorporate nonfelting yarns like eyelash, chenille and ribbon to add textural interest. Many projects like the multicolored mittens take advantage to the differences between felted and unfelted fabric as you pick up stitches for the cuffs after felting. The unfelted ribbing provides elasticity while the felted hands provide extra warmth for an unbeatable combination.
At least one detailed photograph of each project along with measurements before and after felting, yarn requirements, suggested needle size and stitch gauge allow the knitter an accurate overview of the piece before getting started. Row by row knitting directions, color charts and simple assembly techniques assure results provided you monitor the felting process and remove the knitted piece when it has reached the desired size.
In addition to the usual hats, scarves and mittens, Davis includes a simple yet timeless clutch purse embellished with a row of beadwork, a colorful yarn bowl and an assortment of tote bags that may be individualized with embroidery, buttons or pins. The sweater jacket provides an empty slate that all but begs for some extra colorwork. This collection provides a nice introduction to an ancient art which knitters can build upon to design their own fabulous felted creations.

CHARLOTTE — A few Mecklenburg County commissioners want to know exactly how many illegal immigrants are in the school system and how much they are costing taxpayers.
Tuesday night, they will present the idea to the rest of the commission in hopes that CMS will start documenting the immigration status of each student. Mecklenburg County Commissioner Bill James said it does not hurt to ask the question. James said he, along with Jim Pendergraph and Karen Bentley, want to know how many illegal immigrants are in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
"We have to have discussions about this because it is costing Mecklenburg County taxpayers a fortune," said Commissioner James.
The commissioners will present the idea to the rest of the board, requesting that CMS document each student's immigration status at the beginning of the school year and then attempt to come up with a price tag.
"I say, you quantify. Let's figure out where the illegals are. Let's figure out what countries they come from. Then we'll multiply how much it's costing us to educate the youth of Mexico or Venezuela or Argentina," said James.
However James said the process should not stop there. He said the commission should then produce a bill and send it to the foreign countries and a copy to the White House.
"Whether they pay it or not is not the point. We send it to Congress, we send it to White House, we send it to those countries, they'll get the point," said James. Commissioner James said Mecklenburg County taxpayers have a right to know. News 14 Carolina reached out to CMS Monday afternoon for an interview and were told they are currently drafting a statement. But for James, the issue is something the Board needs to discuss.
"This is something we need to have a debate about. We need to know what these countries are costing us," said James.
The board of commissioners will discuss the topic in Tuesday night's meeting. The meeting is at 5:00 p.m. at the Government Center in Uptown.

If you have been experiencing problems with your TalkTalk TV service, the cause might be something as simple as a loose connection. Make sure all the cables and leads connected to your YouView Box are secure and set up correctly.
Before you check your connections, please turn off the power supply. Now you can check the following:
Your Freeview channels are delivered through your aerial, so if you have been experiencing problems while watching Freeview, the problem might well be with your aerial. Make sure your aerial cable is connected securely to both the aerial socket at the wall and to your YouView Box.
For best results, we recommend you connect your YouView Box to your main, rooftop aerial rather than a portable or indoor aerial. Find out more about YouView and aerials.
If you have been experiencing interruptions when watching programmes On Demand or while watching your Boost channels, like Sky Sports or Sky Movies, then there might be a problem with the connection to your router. All this content is delivered to your YouView Box via the internet.
Make sure your Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the LAN connection port on your router and to the back of your YouView Box. Also ensure the Internet light on your router is lit with a green light.
If you're using Powerline Adapters, make sure that:
Your HDMI or SCART leads are what carry the image and sound signals from your YouView Box to your TV, so simply making sure they are secure could help with sound or picture quality issues. Whichever lead you are using, make sure one end is connected securely to the back of your YouView Box and the other end to your TV.
For the best TV experience we recommend you use an HDMI cable. In addition, please refrain from having both HDMI and SCART cables plugged in simultaneously as sometimes your TV may switch from HDMI to SCART, presenting a lower picture quality.
Remember, HDMI cables can give you better picture and sound quality than SCART leads, even when watching Standard Definition channels.

Deutsche Bank Should Cut Its Dividend
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- European banking conglomerate Deutsche Bank (DB) should cut its dividend after revising weak 2012 earnings downward to reflect rising legal costs at its U.S. mortgage lending operation and unspecified regulatory investigations.
While Europe's largest bank by assets is sharply cutting 2012 profits and lowering its reported capital ratios, Deutsche Bank isn't prepared to cut the its EUR0.75 annual dividend, which equates to a payout far in excess of last year's annual profit.
On Wednesday, Deutsche Bank said it would have to set aside an additional 600 million euros to account for legal costs and regulatory investigations, in a move that will more than halve the bank's annual profit to about 300 million euros.
The earnings revision also means Deutsche Bank's Basel III Tier 1 capital ratio will fall from 8.0% to 7.8%, as the lender continues to cut risky assets and prepare for more stringent capital rules. The bank reaffirmed expectations of a Basel III Tier 1 ratio of 8.5% by March 31, and it said the earnings revision will reduce legal reserves by 500 million euros to 1.5 billion euros.Although Deutsche Bank could have minimized the capital hit of its earnings revision by cutting the dividend, the bank remains committed to a payout that would be unlikely to pass the Federal Reserve's muster in the United States. Deutsche Bank's rising legal costs and signs that regulatory probes may soon hit the bank's pocket book -- after large recent settlements at competitors Barclays (BCS), HSBC (HBC) and UBS (UBS) -- come at a time when the bank's finances remain a large concern for analysts and ratings agencies. The financial revision also comes as turmoil surrounding the bailout of Cyprus raises the prospect of a return to crisis within the European financial system, after the European Central Bank helped to stabilize balance sheets across the region with nearly 1 trillion euro's in bond guarantees in late 2011. Deutsche Bank remains committed to a cash dividend that exceeds payout ratios from better capitalized European competitors and most U.S. counterparts. Were European banks to return to a state of uncertainty, as they did at certain points in 2012, Deutsche Bank's dividend yield could fall in-line with the best capitalized U.S. players such as Wells Fargo, even after the Federal Reserve gave a clean bill of health to most large lenders and allowed bigger payouts, earlier in March. Unfortunately, while Deutsche Bank is a bellwether for the European banking system, it also is reflective of seemingly risky payout policies across the region, as EU bank balance sheets remain among the biggest concerns for global investors. Other conglomerates, including Banco Santander (SAN), Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) and Intesa Sanpaolo are hanging on to large payouts. Meanwhile, struggling investment banks such as Societe Generale (SCGLY), UBS (UBS), Credit Suisse (CS) and Barclays (BCS) are in the process of either reinstating high-yielding payouts or forecasting big dividend increases to shareholders. For lenders such as Deutsche Bank, dividend policies appear to come before the painful work of raising capital to solidify balance sheets, as U.S. banks have done. It's no surprise, then, that investors continue to question the stability of the eurozone financial system, as zeitgeist in the U.S. shifts to post-crisis strategy.

Is Portal 2's end song a triumph? Take a look at the lyrics to GLaDOS's fantastic 'Want You Gone' below.
CAUTION: There be spoilers in those lyrics.
Want You Gone – Jonathan Coulton
Well here we are again,
It's always such a pleasure,
Remember when you tried to kill me twice?
Oh, how we laughed and laughed,
Except I wasn't laughing,
Under the circumstances I've been shockingly nice.
You want your freedom take it,
That's what I'm counting on,
I used to want you dead but,
Now I only want you gone.
She was a lot like you,
(Maybe not quite as heavy),
Now little Caroline is in here too.
One day they woke me up,
So I could live forever,
It's such a shame the same will never happen to you.
You've got your short, sad life left,
That's what I'm counting on,
I'll let you get right to it,
Now I only want you gone.
Goodbye, my only friend,
Oh, did you think I meant you?
That would be funny if it weren't so sad,
Well you have been replaced,
I don't need anyone now,
When I delete you maybe I'll stop feeling so bad.
Go make some new disaster,
That's what I'm counting on,
You're someone else's problem,
Now I only want you gone,
Now I only want you gone,
Now I only want you gone.
