Tramways or street railways were common throughout the industrialized world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but they disappeared from many U.S. cities in the mid-20th century. In European cities they remained quite common. In recent years, they have made a comeback in many U.S. cities. Many newer light rail systems share features with trams, although a distinction may be drawn between the two, with the term light rail preferred if there is significant off-street running.
The terms "tram" and "tramway" were originally Scots and Northern English words for the type of truck used in coal mines and the tracks on which they ran—probably derived from the North Sea Germanic word "trame" of unknown origin meaning the "beam or shaft of a barrow or sledge", also "a barrow" or container body.
Although "tram" and "tramway" have been adopted by many languages, they are not used universally in English, North Americans preferring "trolley", "trolley car" or "streetcar". The term "streetcar" is first recorded in 1860, and "trolley" is believed to derive from the "troller," a four-wheeled device that was dragged along dual overhead wires by a cable that connected the troller to the top of the car and collected electrical power from the overhead wires, sometimes simply strung, sometimes on a catenary. The trolley pole, which supplanted the troller early on, is fitted to the top of the car and is spring-loaded in order to keep the trolley wheel or skate, at the top of the pole, firmly in contact with the overhead wire. The terms trolley pole and trolley wheel both derive from the troller.
Modern trolleys often use a metal shoe with a carbon insert instead of a trolley wheel, or have a pantograph. Other streetcars are sometimes called trolleys, even though strictly this may be incorrect: for example, cable cars, or conduit cars that draw power from an underground supply.
Tourist buses made to look like streetcars are sometimes called trolleys in the U.S. (tourist trolley). Open, low-speed segmented vehicles on rubber tires, generally used to ferry tourists short distances, can be called trams, particularly in the U.S.; a famous example is the tram on the Universal Studios backlot tour.
Electric buses, which use twin trolley poles (one for live current, one for return) are called trolleybuses, trackless trolleys (particularly in the U.S.), or sometimes trolleys.
The very first tram (streetcar) was the on the Swansea and Mumbles Railway in south Wales, UK); it was horse-drawn at first, and later moved by steam and electric power. The Mumbles Railway Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1804, and the first passenger railway (which acted like streetcars did in the US some 30 years later) started operating in 1807.
The first streetcars, also known as horsecars in North America, were built in the United States and developed from city stagecoach lines and omnibus lines that picked up and dropped off passengers on a regular route without the need to be pre-hired. These trams were an animal railway, usually using horses and sometimes mules to haul the cars, usually two as a team. Rarely other animals were put to use, including humans in emergencies. The first streetcar line—the New York and Harlem Railroad's Fourth Avenue Line—ran along the Bowery and Fourth Avenue in New York City, and began service in 1832. It was followed in 1835 by New Orleans, Louisiana, which is the oldest continuously operating street railway system in the world, according to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
One of the advantages over earlier forms of transit was the low rolling resistance of metal wheels on steel rails, allowing the animals to haul a greater load for a given effort. Problems included the fact that each animal could only work so many hours per day, had to be housed, groomed, fed and cared for day in and day out, and produced prodigious amounts of manure, which the streetcar company had to dispose of. Since a typical horse pulled a car for perhaps a dozen miles a day and worked for four or five hours, many systems needed ten or more horses for each horsecar. Electric trams largely replaced animal power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. New York City closed its last horsecar line in 1917. The last regular mule drawn streetcar in the U.S., in Sulphur Rock, Arkansas, closed in 1926. During World War II some old horse cars were temporarily returned to service to help conserve fuel. A mule-powered line in Celaya, Mexico, operated until 1956. Horse-drawn trams still operate in Douglas, Isle of Man. There is also a small line on Main Street at DisneyWorld, outside Orlando, Florida. A small horse-drawn service operates every 40 minutes at Victor Harbor, South Australia, daily with 20-minute services during tourist seasons, between the mainland and Granite Island across a causeway.
The tram developed after that in numerous cities, including London, Southampton, Berlin, Paris, Kyoto, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Melbourne. Faster and more comfortable than the omnibus, trams had a high cost of operation because they were pulled by horses. That is why mechanical drives were rapidly developed, with steam power in 1873, and electricity after 1881, when Siemens AG presented the electric drive at the International Electricity Exhibition in Paris.
The convenience and economy of electricity resulted in its rapid adoption once the technical problems of production and transmission of electricity were solved. The first prototype of the electric tram was developed by Russian engineer Fyodor Pirotsky, who modified a horse tram to be powered by electricity. The invention was tested in 1880 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The world's first electric tram line opened in Lichterfelde near Berlin, Germany, in 1881. It was built by Werner von Siemens (see Berlin Straßenbahn).
In Japan, the Kyoto Electric railroad was the first tram system, starting operation in 1865. By 1932, the network had grown to 82 railway companies in 65 cities, with a total network length of 1,479 km. By the 1960s the tram had generally died out in Japan.
Britain had the first European trams and until 1935 a large and comprehensive network of systems. For example, it was possible to go by tram across northwest England, from Liverpool to Bolton, using connecting systems. These were mostly closed by a mixture of the same forces as in the US, but with political overtones, since most of the UK systems were municipally owned. The oil and car industries did not like the fact that the municipal tram systems were powered by electricity generated from coal, and to a large extent made car ownership unnecessary.
The 1931 Royal Commission on traffic argued that trams held up cars. When it is realised that there were only one million cars then, what this meant was that trams with poorer people were holding up cars with richer people.
In the UK there was a big public reaction against tramway abandonment, much bigger than the present one against UK Post Office closures, and on a par with the reaction against the Beeching Rail closures in the 1960s, and with the same result. Tram (train) passengers largely did not transfer to the new (flexible and cheaper) buses, but bought cars- resulting in the congested cities in the UK today.
After the war continental countries had little choice but to rebuild their tramways as they could not import oil or rubber but had steel and electricity.
In the 19th century Calcutta (now Kolkata) was developing fast as a British trading and business centre. Transport was mainly by palanquins carried on men's shoulders or phaetons pulled by horses. In 1867, the Calcutta Corporation, with financial assistance from the Government of Bengal, developed mass transport. The first tramcar travelled the streets of Calcutta on February 24, 1873, with horse-drawn coaches running on steel rails.
The first mechanical trams were powered by steam. Generally, there were two types of steam tram. The first and most common had a small steam locomotive (called a tram engine in the UK) at the head of a line of one or more carriages, similar to a small train. Systems with such steam trams included Christchurch, New Zealand; Sydney, Australia; and other city systems in New South Wales.
The other style of steam tram had the steam engine in the body of the tram, referred to as a tram engine. The most notable system to adopt such trams was in Paris. French-designed steam trams also operated in Rockhampton, in the Australian state of Queensland between 1909 and 1939. Stockholm, Sweden, had a steam tram line at the island of Södermalm between 1887 and 1901. A major drawback of this style of tram was the limited space for the engine, so that these trams were usually underpowered.
Cable Cars operated on Highgate Hill in North London and Kennington to Brixton Hill In South London.
Cable cars suffered from high infrastructure costs, since an expensive system of cables, pulleys, stationary engines and vault structures between the rails had to be provided. They also require strength and skill to operate, to avoid obstructions and other cable cars. The cable had to be dropped at particular locations and the cars coast, for example when crossing another cable line. Breaks and frays in the cable, which occurred frequently, required the complete cessation of services over a cable route, while the cable was repaired. After the development of electrically-powered trams, the more costly cable car systems declined rapidly.
Cable cars were especially useful in hilly cities, partially explaining their survival in San Francisco, however, the most extensive cable system in the U.S. was in Chicago, a much flatter city. The largest cable system in the world, in the relativly flat city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, had at its peak 592 trams running on 74 kilometres of track.
The San Francisco cable cars, though significantly reduced in number, continue to perform a regular transportation function, in addition to being a tourist attraction. Single lines also survive in Wellington, New Zealand (rebuilt in 1979 as a funicular but still called the "Wellington Cable Car") and Hong Kong.
Multiple functioning experimental electric trams were exhibited at the 1884 World Cotton Centennial World's Fair in New Orleans, Louisiana, but they were deemed good enough to replace the Lamm fireless engines then propelling the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar in that city.
Electric trams (trolley cars) were first successfully tested in service in Richmond, Virginia, in 1888, in the Richmond Union Passenger Railway built by Frank J. Sprague. There were earlier commercial installations of electric streetcars, including one in Berlin as early as 1881 by Werner von Siemens and the company that still bears his name, and in Saint Petersburg, Russia, invented and tested by Fyodor Pirotsky in 1880. Another was by John Joseph Wright, brother of the famous mining entrepreneur Whitaker Wright, in Toronto in 1883. The earlier installations proved difficult or unreliable. Siemens' line, for example, provided power through a live rail and a return rail, like a model train, limiting the voltage that could be used, and providing elecric shocks to people and animals crossing the tracks. Siemens later designed his own method of current collection, from an overhead wire, called the bow collector. Once this had been developed his cars became equal to, if not better than, any of Sprague's cars. The first electric interurban line, connecting St Catharines and Thorold, Ontario, opened in 1887, and was considered quite successful at the time. While this line proved quite versatile as one of the earliest fully functional electric streetcar installations, it required horse-drawn support while climbing the Niagara Escarpment and for two months of the winter when hydroelectricity was not available. It continued in service in its original form into the 1950s.
The largest tram network in the world is in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and has 499 trams running on 249 kilometres of track with 1770 tram stops.
Since Sprague's installation was the first to prove successful in all conditions, he is credited with being the inventor of the trolley car. He later developed multiple unit control, first demonstrated in Chicago in 1897, allowing multiple cars to be coupled together and operated by a single motorman. This gave birth to the modern subway train.
Two rare but significant alternatives were conduit current collection, which was widely used in London, Washington, D.C. and New York, and the surface contact collection method, used in Wolverhampton (the Lorain system), Hastings (the Dolter stud system) in the UK, and currently in Bordeaux, France (the ground-level power supply system).
Attempts to use batteries as a source of electricity were made from the 1880s and 1890s, with unsuccessful trials conducted in among other places Bendigo and Adelaide in Australia, and for about 14 years as The Hague accutram of HTM in the Netherlands.
A Welsh example of a tram was usually known as the Mumbles Train, or more formally as the Swansea and Mumbles Railway. Built as the Oystermouth Railway in 1804, on March 25, 1807 it became the first passenger-carrying railway in the world. Converted to an overhead wire system it operated electric cars from March 2, 1929 until its closure on January 5, 1960. These were the largest tram cars built for use in Britain and seated 106 passengers.
Another early tram system operated from 1886 until 1930 in Appleton, Wisconsin, and is notable for being powered by the world's first hydroelectric power station, which began operating on September 30, 1882 as the Appleton Edison Electric Company.
There is one particular hazard associated with trams powered from a trolley off an overhead line. Since the tram relies on contact with the rails for the current return path, a problem arises if the tram is derailed or (more usually) if it halts on a section of track that has been particularly heavily sanded by a previous tram, and the tram loses electrical contact with the rails. In this event, the underframe of the tram, by virtue of a circuit path through ancillary loads (such as saloon lighting), is live at the full supply voltage, typically 600 volts. In British terminology such a tram was said to be 'grounded'—not to be confused with the US English use of the term, which means the exact opposite. Any person stepping off the tram completed the earth return circuit and could receive a nasty electric shock. In such an event the driver was required to jump off the tram (avoiding simultaneous contact with the tram and the ground) and pull down the trolley before allowing passengers off the tram. Unless derailed, the tram could usually be recovered by running water down the running rails from a point higher than the tram. The water providing a conducting bridge between the tram and the rails.
In some places, other forms of power were used to power the tram. Hastings and some other tramways, for example Stockholms Spårvägar in Sweden, used petrol trams and Lytham St Annes used gas trams. Paris operated trams that were powered by compressed air using the Mekarski system. In New York City some minor lines used storage batteries.
The latest generation of light rail vehicles is of partial or fully low-floor design, with the floor 300 to 360 mm (12–14 inches) above top of rail, a capability not found in older vehicles. This allows them to load passengers, including in wheelchairs, directly from low-rise platforms that are not much more than raised sidewalks. This satisfies requirements to provide access to disabled passengers without using expensive wheelchair lifts, while at the same time making boarding faster and easier for other passengers.
Various companies have developed particular low floor designs, varying from part low floor, e.g. Citytram , to 100% low floor, where a corridor between the drive wheels links each end of the tram. Passengers appreciate the ease of boarding and alighting from low floor trams but for the operator the restrictions of seating layout imposed by 100% designs limits the ability to provide seats, and to vary the configuration for different city needs. There is also some evidence that passengers do not like sitting in low floor areas, especially when trams run in mixed traffic with larger vehicles looming above.
Tram-train operation uses vehicles such as the Flexity Link and Regio-Citadis, which are suited for use on urban tram lines and also meet the necessary indication, power, and strength requirements for operation on main-line railways. This allows passengers to travel from suburban areas into city-centre destinations without having to change from a train to a tram.
It has been primarily developed in Germanic countries, in particular Germany and Switzerland. Karlsruhe is a notable pioneer of the tram-train.
Goods have been carried on rail vehicles through the streets, particularly near docks and steelworks, since the 19th century (most evident in Weymouth), and some Belgian vicinale routes were used to haul timber. At the turn of the 21st century, a new interest has arisen in using urban tramway systems to transport goods. The motivation now is to reduce air pollution, traffic congestion and damage to road surfaces in city centres. Dresden has a regular CarGoTram service, run by the world's longest tram trainsets carrying car parts across the city centre to its Volkswagen factory. Vienna and Zürich use trams as mobile recycling depots. Kislovodsk had a freight-only tram system comprising one line which was used exclusively to deliver bottled Narzan mineral water to the railway station.
In the spring of 2007, Amsterdam piloted a cargo tram operation, aiming to reduce particulate pollution by 20% by halving the number of lorries—currently 5,000—unloading in the inner city during the permitted timeframe from 07:00 till 10:30. The pilot, operated by City Cargo Amsterdam, involved two cargo trams, operating from a distribution centre and delivering to a 'hub' where electric trucks delivered to the final destination.
The trial was successful, releasing an intended investment of 100 million euro in a fleet of 52 cargo trams distributing from four peripheral 'cross docks' to 15 inner-city hubs by 2012. These specially-built vehicles would be 30 metres long with 12 axles and a payload of 30 tonnes. On weekdays, trams are planned to make 4 deliveries per hour between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. and two per hour between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. With each unloading operation taking on average 10 minutes, this means that each site would be active for 40 minutes out of each hour during the morning rush hour.
(References: Samenwest 5 December 2006, NOS3 television news 7 March 2007, Amsterdams Stadblad 4 June 2008)
One of the earliest literary references to trams occurs on the second page of Henry James's novel The Europeans:
Joseph Conrad described Amsterdam's trams in chapter 14 of The Mirror of the Sea (1906): From afar at the end of Tsar Peter Straat, issued in the frosty air the tinkle of bells of the horse tramcars, appearing and disappearing in the opening between the buildings, like little toy carriages harnessed with toy horses and played with by people that appeared no bigger than children.
Danzig trams figure extensively in the early stages of Günter Grass's Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum). In the last chapter the novel's hero Oskar Matzerath and his friend Gottfried von Vittlar steal a tram late at night from outside Unterrath depot on the northern edge of Düsseldorf.
It is a surreal journey. Von Vittlar drives the tram through the night, south to Flingern and Haniel and then east to the suburb of Gerresheim. Meanwhile, inside, Matzerath tries to rescue the half-blind Victor Weluhn (who had escaped from the siege of the Polish post office in Danzig at the beginning of the book and of the war) from his two green-hatted would-be executioners. Mazerath deposits his briefcase, which contains Sister Dorotea's severed ring finger in a preserving jar, on the dashboard "where professional motorman put their lunchboxes". They leave the tram at the terminus, and the executioners tie Weluhn to a tree in von Vittlar's mother's garden and prepare to machine-gun him. But Matzerath drums, Weluhn sings, and together they conjure up the Polish cavalry, who spirit both victim and executioners away. Matzerath asks von Vittlar to take his briefcase in the tram to the police HQ in the Fürstenwall, which he does.
The latter part of this route is today served by tram route 703 terminating at Gerresheim Stadtbahn station ("by the glassworks" as Grass notes, referring to the famous glass factory).
[Reference: The chapter Die letzte Straßenbahn oder Anbetung eines Weckglases (The last tram or Adoration of a Preserving Jar). See page 584 of the 1959 Büchergilde Gutenberg German edition and page 571 of the 1961 Secker & Warburg edition, translated into English by Ralph Manheim]
In his 1967 spy thriller An Expensive Place to Die, Len Deighton misidentifies the Flemish coast tram: "The red glow of Ostend is nearer now and yellow trains rattle alongside the motor road and over the bridge by the Royal Yacht Club .." [Chapter 38, page 198 of the Companion Book Club edition.]
In the US, Bachmann Industries is a mass supplier of HO trams and kits. Bowser has produced white metal models for over 50 years. There are many boutique vendors offering limited run epoxy and wood models. At the high end are highly detailed brass models which are usually imported from Japan or Korea and can cost in excess of $500. Many of these run on 16.5 mm gauge track, which is incorrect for the representation of standard (4ft 8½ins) gauge, as it represents 4ft 1½ins in 4 mm (1:76.2) scale. This scale/gauge hybrid is called OO scale.
O scale trams are also very popular among tram modelers because the increased size allows for more detail and easier crafting of overhead wiring. In the US these models are usually purchased in epoxy or wood kits and some as brass models. The Saint Petersburg Tram Company produces highly detailed polyeurathane non-powered O Scale models from around the world.
In the US, one of the best resources for model tram enthusiasts is the East Penn Traction Club of Philadelphia.
It is thought that the first example of a working model tramcar in the UK built by an amateur for fun was in 1929, when Frank E. Wilson created a replica of London County Council Tramways E class car 444 in 1:16 scale, which he demonstrated at an early Model Engineer Exhibition. Another of his models was London E/1 1800, which was the only tramway exhibit in the Faraday Memorial Exhibition of 1931. Together with likeminded friends, Frank Wilson went on to found the Tramway & Light Railway Society in 1938, establishing tramway modelling as a hobby.

Mole poblano, whose name comes from the Mexican state of Puebla, is a popular sauce in Mexican cuisine and is the mole that most people in the U.S. think of when they think of mole. Mole poblano is prepared with dried chile peppers (commonly ancho, pasilla, mulato and chipotle), ground nuts and/or seeds (almonds, indigenous peanuts, and/or sesame seeds), spices, Mexican chocolate (cacao ground with sugar and cinnamon and occasionally nuts), salt, and a variety of other ingredients including charred avocado leaves, onions, and garlic. Dried seasonings such as ground oregano are also used. In order to provide a rich thickness to the sauce, bread crumbs or crackers are added to the mix. The chicken or turkey is cooked by completely boiling it in a pot with water, a little bit of salt and a piece of onion to give the broth some flavor.
One of the more popular dishes which includes mole is mole poblano de guajolote, or turkey (Mexican Spanish guajolote, from Nahuatl huexolotl) prepared with mole poblano.
Another somewhat less popular mole is mole de cacahuate, made of ground peanuts and chiles and also typically served with chicken.
Mole verde achieves its distinctive green color from the toasted pumpkin seeds that form the sauce's base. As well as using ingredients such as Roman Lettuce and Green Tomatoes
There are various procedures to make mole. Generally the following are universal when making mole. Dried chili peppers, cut up onions and whole garlic are lightly fried in oil. In a blender, chicken broth along with the fried dried peppers and the rest of the ingredients are mixed and placed in a large pot. The resulting mixture sauce has to be continuously stirred on a low-medium flame. Bread crumbs or crackers mixed with chicken broth are also put in a blender and added to the pot.
Mole can be bought ready-made from local markets or supermarkets. It comes as a kind of paste or powder that can vary in color from deep black to green or even yellow, depending on the ingredients used. In modern supermarkets and corner shops, mole is sold either canned, in glass jars, or in cubes that can be dissolved in water or, more appropriately, broth.
In Guatemala, "mole" refers to a dessert composed of fried or boiled chunks of plantain in a chocolate/spice sauce, sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Chris Wynn, a key member of the Gears of War team at Epic, has quit the company to work on BioWare's Mass Effect series.
Wynn will become senior development director on the franchise, whose next installment is currently in the early stages of production.
"Thrilled to announce that I will be joining BioWare as the Sr. Development Director on the next Mass Effect!", Wynn revealed on Twitter last night.
His new position is presumably not as high up as Mass Effect franchise boss Casey Hudson, although Wynn will still have a key role in shaping the series' future.
Wynn previously worked as lead producer on Gears of War 3 and senior producer on Gears of War: Judgment.
His departure follows a number of other high profile exits at Epic - previous Gears senior producer Rod Fergusson left last summer, and was followed out the door by design director Cliff Bleszinski last October. Epic president Mike Capps then retired last December.

Press reviews
At a recent tasting I was impressed by the bright freshness and seductively spicy qualities of this wine. These styles strike me as halfway between the new and old Spain
Anthony Rose, The Independent
The smoky intensity of this blend of mainly tempranillo from one of Rioja's greatest producers, is supported by a smooth raspberry quality and infused with light smoke and vanilla
Anthony Rose, The Independent , 23rd November 2013

The new CFO: Chief Future Officer
View the PDF (13.1MB)
As our planet has become more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent, disruptive change seems to have become the norm. New markets appear as quickly as others fade. Industry value shifts with the introduction of the next app. Opportunities emerge out of new regulatory requirements. Meanwhile, oceans of Big Data flood firms of all sizes with new answers but also questions.
Who better to navigate this turbulent environment than the company's CFO?
Learn more in the Executive Brief
Accelerating Performance: the evolving role of the CFO (760KB)
After all, finance is the corporation's original information management function—managing costs, monitoring the broader economy, steering the firm's investments. And today a new breed of CFO is going further: using a greater variety of data, along with advanced analytics, to prepare for change, uncover opportunity, and capitalize on both.
A general truth of a smarter planet is in the application of data and analytics to practices and decisions that previously may have been made by gut or by rote. But CFOs have always traded in financial data and quantification. Thus the changing role of the CFO is not driven by a change to a more analytical mindset. It's driven by the change to a more advanced set of analytics capabilities, and using them to extend the positive impact the CFO has on the business, turning them from scorekeepers to performance accelerators.

Midwest Living Review
Originally called the Baum-Taft House (named for the Baums who built it in 1820 and then the Sintons and Tafts, who lived there 50 years later), the Taft Art Museum is located at the very eastern edge of downtown Cincinnati, overlooking Lytle Park. The museum is both quaint (you get the feeling you are walking through someone's home) and impressive. It's the perfect museum if you want to see some great art but only have an hour or so to browse. What we particularly love: the Taft Top 10 -- a sheet of paper guiding you to the 10 highlights in the museum. It's not a gimmick: They are true highlights, and include a Rembrandt ("Portrait of a Man Rising From His Chair," 1633, one of only two Rembrandts in Ohio), a Whistler ("At the Piano," 1858), a Singer Sargent ("Robert Louis Stevenson," 1887) and a series of landscape murals painted by Robert Duncanson, the first African-American artist to get international recognition. (If you can believe it, these impressive pieces were once covered; once you see them, this will feel like the worst crime you've ever heard.) There is also a good selection of medieval treasures, Chinese porcelain, French limoges enamel pieces, Dutch art (we love "Sewing School at Katwijk," 1881), and 18th- and 19th-century European art. Each room of the house is a gallery, so it's easy to move about and go back to your favorites (our favorites were the Music Room and the 19th-Century Figural Paintings Room). Plus, roving docents are happy to answer questions. The audio guide (free) is also helpful, and there is a cafe (with a very pretty courtyard) serving lunch. Admission charged.

Action/Adventure, Drama
Sherlock Holmes has made his reputation finding the truth at the heart of the most complex mysteries. With the aid of Dr. John Watson, his trusted ally, the renowned "consulting detective" is unequaled in his pursuit of criminals of every stripe, whether relying on his singular powers of observation, his remarkable deductive skills, or the blunt force of his fists. But now a storm is gathering over London, a threat unlike anything that Holmes has ever confronted...and just the challenge he's looking for. After a string of brutal, ritualistic murders, Holmes and Watson arrive just in time to save the latest victim and uncover the killer: the unrepentant Lord Blackwood.
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some startling images and a scene of suggestive material.

In the most testosterone-soaked rumor ever, UFC president Dana White said WWE monarch Vince McMahon once called him out and asked for a fight either at Wrestlemania or a UFC event. White brushed the offer away.
"He wanted to do that one time. Vince wanted to fight me. Swear to god. He called me up and said, 'Let's do it. We can either do it in the UFC or let's do it at Wrestlemania.' And I said, 'You are crazy,' White said in a recent interview.
White, 43, goes on to say a match between him and McMahon will never happen, mostly because he believes that McMahon, 67, is now too old to fight. You know that's not going to sit well with Vince.
No one loves confrontation more than McMahon. He and White have both made millions off the American audience's love for bloodsport, violence and machismo. Even at 67, McMahon is still in very solid physical condition for his age. He's also fearless enough to consent to this sort of event without caring about giving up 24 years to White, especially if he thinks it will help the WWE in any way.

Help:Show preview
this wiki
Before you publish an edit to an article, it's a good idea to preview the changes you are making. That way, you know that everything looks the way you want it to, preventing you from having to go back and make more changes after you click Publish.
Note that the new VisualEditor does not include preview functionality, as the editor itself is intended to show an accurate representation of the published article.
How do I preview changes?
When you are in the editing screen for a page, you can see two main buttons on the right hand side: Preview and Publish. The Publish button saves the page, but, before you do that, you should know what the page looks like in case you need to make any corrections. To preview what your edit will look like on the page before publishing it, click the Preview button.
The preview screen that pops up after clicking Preview will show you exactly what the page will look like if you publish your current revision. The bottom of the preview box has a Publish button you can click if the page is ready to be saved, as well as a Back button if you need to return to the editor and make further changes.
Show changes option
On the Preview button, you can find a drop down arrow that you can click. This leads you to an option that says Show changes.
If you click this, a page will appear highlighting the differences between your yet-to-be-saved version and the last saved version of the page. Some people find this easier to examine for errors and completeness than a simple preview. Like with the regular preview page, you can click Publish after showing changes to save your edits.
Why should I preview my edits?Previewing your edits lets you include as many revisions you want to make as possible into one edit. The more edits you make in quick succession, especially to correct typos or formatting errors, the harder it is for other editors to check what changed between edits. That also fills up the page history with lots of minor edits.
While previewing your edits, you also have the option to view the page at the minimum and maximum possible sizes. This can be helpful when you've made changes that affect the overall layout of the page. You can also choose to preview how the page will look for 'Mobile' users. Many visitors to Wikia use their smartphones (or similar devices like the iPod Touch), so this is an important consideration.

Love him or hate him, Batista is coming back, and that is great news for the WWE universe.
I personally found Dave Batista to be quite bland for the majority of his main event run. As the powerhouse in Evolution, I loved him, and was a bit disappointed when he left Evolution to go after Triple H and his gold solo, but that was more to do with the fact that I just loved Evolution so much

The past five Royal Rumbles have had between 45 & 55 minutes of preliminary matches, so we should aim for 4-6 undercard

Some people, I would say the majority of wrestling fans out there believe the #2 of the big 4 is the Royal Rumble. Biggest show of the year, behind Mania is the Royal Rumble. Why? It is the start of the road to WM. Along with a match that comes by 1x a year where people are guessing who will win this match. The winner goes on to face the world champion at WM.

What we can expect from wrestling in 2014
2013 has been an odd year for wrestling; WWE was on the verge of creating huge new stars in Ryback and Daniel Bryan but ultimately returned to John Cena as their focus point. In what should have been the best year for the company since it was founded, TNA, struggled on the road and ended up returning to Orlando. Ring of Honor has continued to

Well Raw certainly turned it on didn't they.
No I am not referring to the Slammy Awards, and for once I'm not talking about the genuine wrestling. I am talking about the ending segment which involved 20 current and former world champions, hyping the upcoming TLC PPV.
Now I have been reading a couple of entries posted on the newsfeed, and first time ever, was actually interested

How many blogs have I made about TNA crapping all over the product? It is about damn time that I made a positive blog about TNA. Comes during a time when Hogan/Bischoff are gone! No surprise to anyone here, I expect TNA to make strides going forward. Hopefully that is....Which is what this blog is about. Why is TNA's product better than WWE's right now?
Women: First off, no need to
I'm finally back in it.
At the end of 2011, I decided (for a few different reasons) to essentially stop following professional wrestling. Not just WWE - all of it. No 'E, no TNA, no ROH, no Chikara, nothin. It wasn't really for lack of interest, so much as there was just too much else going on that I didn't really have the time anymore. So for just about two years, I gave it up.

In our project series thus far, we've covered project planning, chassis, suspension, drivetrain, braking, and installing C5 seats in a midyear. In this installment, we'll address three aspects that will consume quite a bit of your time. These are the various engine-related systems, such as engine electronics, exhaust, fuel, and cooling. In this installment, we'll cover the first three of these and address the cooling system in a future article. Over the course of this project series, we'll cover each one in enough detail to give you a good idea of what's involved and the sources we used. Since each project is unique, and you'll have your own ideas on the approach to take and components to use, we'll just describe the approach we've taken, and what has worked for us.
Exhaust System-Key Design FactorsThe key factors to consider in the design of your exhaust system are clearance, performance, and routing.
Clearance: Adequate space for clearing the body and other components and allowing enough room for the heat generated are key aspects to consider in your design and choice of components. In some instances, it may be possible to use stock exhaust components; however, in many cases you'll be faced with having your exhaust pipes custom bent or, at least, modifying some of the system. For our project, we decided to build a complete system in stainless with custom headers, exhaust pipes, mufflers, hangers, and exhaust tips. We'll describe the design and show the system's design a little later.
PerformanceHeaders: Depending on your objectives, and whether you want to achieve maximum engine output, you may decide to use headers in either the short- or long-tube design versus stock manifolds. The size of the primary tubes is also a factor and should be matched to your particular engine. There are many sources today for LS headers, such as Street & Performance, Sanderson, Stainless Works, and so on that should have headers which will fit most of the custom Vette-Rod chassis. Quite often stock manifolds will also fit and can have the advantage of being quieter. For our project, we worked with Street & Performance to develop headers to match the unique exhaust port shape of the LS7, have the right sized primaries, and clear the engine and framerails. We also chose to use Stage 8 header and collector bolts that have a lock to keep them tight (Photo 01).
Coating: Ceramic-coated headers are a good choice as they retain their appearance, as well as keep the underhood temperature down. Typically, the claims for heat reduction are in the range of 60 percent on the header surface as well as increased exhaust scavenging. Many companies coat both the outside and the inside of the header.
Exhaust & Tailpipes Material: We like to use 304 stainless for our systems as it lasts forever, retains its appearance, and can be polished if you want to take things that far. We also use stainless collectors for the headers and weld the exhaust pipe directly to them. Photo 02 shows the collector thathouses the O2 sensor. The second bung you'll see is for the probe to measure exhaust temperature for a gauge mounted in the dash.

Is your work all-consuming? Does your spouse complain that you're never home? Do worries about your bottom line or your current paint jobs keep you up at night?
If so, you may not be able to leave work at work. And you're not alone.
Americans take less vacation time, work longer days and retire later than workers in any other industrialized nation. According to a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report, more than 25 million Americans - more than 20 percent of the total work force - say that they work at least 49 hours a week. Eleven million worked more than 59 hours a week. In addition, technology is blurring the line between work and home lives. Cell phones, pagers and laptop computers make it possible to work anytime, anywhere.
"Workaholism is probably the only socially-approved addiction," says Dan G., co-founder of Workaholics Anonymous. "It's part of our work ethic. You could be painting day and night, and spend all your spare time out there getting bids, and no one would question your priorities."
No one, that is, except your family and friends. "There's a difference between working hard and being a workaholic," Dan G. says. "Problems arise when work becomes the central focus of life to the exclusion of family, friends and social life."
If you feel you have reached that point (try taking the 20-point inventory below), here are some suggestions from Workaholics Anonymous on how to restore the balance between your work and life.
PRIORITIZE. Decide what is most important in your life. Set priorities for tasks you want to accomplish, while remaining flexible to changing circumstances. View interruptions and accidents as opportunities for growth.
SUBSTITUTE. Don't add a new activity or task without eliminating another that demands equal time and energy.
UNDERSCHEDULE. Allow more time than you think you need for a task or trip. This gives you a comfortable margin to accommodate the unexpected.
CONCENTRATE. Try to do one thing at a time.
RELAX. When you feel tension, you become disconnected from others. Try to be alert to the people and situations that trigger pressure in your life. Pay attention to the signals your body sends you, and don't yield to unnecessary outside pressure or create pressure for others.
PACE YOURSELF. Work at a comfortable pace, and rest before you get tired. If you don't get "wound up" at work, you won't need to unwind.
ACCEPT. Impatience and rushing accomplish nothing but creating stress for you and those around you. Accept the outcomes of your endeavors, whatever the result or timing.
ASK. Admit your weaknesses and mistakes, and ask others for help when you need it.
BALANCE. Balance your involvement with work with efforts to develop your personal relationships, spiritual growth, creativity and playful attitude. Instead of working non-stop, schedule some time for play. And don't make play into a work project.
LIVE IN THE NOW. Try to live each moment with serenity, joy and gratitude.
How Do I Know If I'm a Workaholic?
- Do you get more excited about your work than about family or anything else?
- Are there times when you can charge through your work and other times when you can't?
- Do you take work with you to bed? on weekends? on vacation?

Meteorologists use color enhanced imagery as an aid in satellite interpretation. The colors enable them to easily and quickly see features which are of special interest. Usually they look for high clouds or areas with a large amount of water vapor.
In an infrared (IR) image cold clouds are high clouds, so the colors typically highlight the colder regions. The bar on the right side of the image indicates the pixel brightness values for the corresponding color. The intensity value represents emitted infrared radiation. The intensity of a pixel is recorded as a digital number (for example, in these images the numbers range from 0 to 255.) You can determine temperatures using one of the formulas below:
If B > 176, T = 418 - B; or
if B <= 176, T = 330 - (B/2)
Note that the resulting temperatures are in Kelvin.
To calculate the resulting Kelvin temperature to Fahrenheit: (K - 273.15) x 1.8 + 32.00.
To calculate the resulting Kelvin temperature to Celsius: C = K - 273.
(B = Brightness value; T = Temperature; F = Fahrenheit; C = Celsius)

The Elite 45.1 x 80.2" Cinetension 2 Motorized Projection Screen gives you complete control over your presentation. Suitable for home and business, this rugged aluminum screen comes complete with two remotes (IR and RF) as well as a 12V trigger that allows you to synchronize the up/down function with your projector's motor.

Generally, the screen can be controlled in four different ways: Low Voltage Switch Control, Radio Frequency Remote Control, Infrared Remote Control and Auxiliary Control.
The plug & play design of the Cinetension 2 is an added bonus since it is ready to go out of the box. All mounting hardware is included (bracket wrench, wall screws and bubble level) and is backed by Elite's excellent 2-year replacement warranty.

+ - Japan's Softbank Buying Sprint, Creating Third Largest Global Carrier->
Submitted by metallurge
metallurge writes: "Japan's third-largest wireless carrier intends to acquire Sprint, the third-largest U.S. carrier for 20.1 Billion US dollars, creating the third-largest global carrier. After the transaction is completed, Softbank will own 70% of the newly-created 'New Sprint', which will maintain current Sprint CEO Dan Hesse in that role. How this will affect Deutsche Telekom/T-Mobile's attempt to merge with Sprint reseller MetroPCS is unclear."

I am personally going to write about this fly line for several reasons. One reason is, Lefty Kreh is a friend of mine. This line does not have all the bells and whistles or Mastery high tech features created in the Scientific Anglers lab in recent years that make their fly lines perform exceptionally well. There is no ASI, Dry Tip Technology, Textured Surface, Streamlined Loops or AS ID, advances that really work. Our profit margin is lower on this line than on other SA lines. So without all the hype and the fact that our percentage profit is low on this fly line, why is it here?It is here because we sell the heck out of the Lefty Kreh Signature Line from Scientific Anglers, more than any other fly line in units sold last year. I wanted to find out why. I know one reason is, it costs $39.95. So I asked Scientific Anglers to give me some to try out. I use them for smallmouth bass and bluegill fishing. They are pretty darned good lines. You wont cast a mile with them. You have to use a nail knot to tie on a leader. But other than that, these are pretty good fly lines, especially for the money. I kept the lines SA gave me. I still use them. They are not my favorite lines but they work fine for some of the fishing I do.So, if you are on a budget and trying to save some money, give one of these fly lines a try. Also, for the fishing we do in the Smokies, where distance casting is not required, they work fine.Byron Begley, Little River OutfittersFREE GROUND SHIPPING IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATESLittle River Outfitters is a fly shop and mail order company located in Townsend, Tennessee, a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We have been family owned since 1994.

A close friend of mines received his Day One: Xbox One from Amazon just like I did on launch day. We both hooked it up around the same time as well.
We both discussed the pros and cons of the system and so forth.
Now lets fast forward a week later. My friend's Xbox One has bit the dust. It started while he was trying to get into Battlefield online match, it wouldn't let him in, and not only that, it would also freeze up his Xbox One. He quits out of the game outright and tries to go back in, and this time the game disc won't read... Turns off the Xbox One and turns it back on, makes sure all games and apps are closed, ejects BF4 disc puts it back in, the disc won't read... Ejects disc, and puts in NBA2K14, tries to play it, no disc is recognized at all.
Calls Microsoft, they put him through the usual unplug cables and such. Make sure all game and apps and such are closed (usual scripted walk through's when you call support)...
Uninstall game and Re-Install game (which takes forever as it is), disc is recognized again, but there is a disc read error..
They are shipping him a coffin and giving him a copy of Dead Rising 3 as a "I'm sorry gift"
I've been on a pro-Microsoft tour as of late, but that is reversing mighty fast. And this goes for more than Xbox at that.
Yes, my Xbox is fine. But seeing the Xbox One's dropping like flies. I have to wonder, how long will mines be fine for...

Dash Pad Cover at 1A Auto
Dash Pad Cover Basics
A dashboard is an extremely important part of a vehicle. Located at the front of a car or truck's interior, a dashboard is essentially a control panel that houses all kinds of instrumentation and controls that are needed to operate the vehicle, such as the steering wheel, fuel gauge, heating and A/C controls, and more. You may not even think about it much, but the reality is that your vehicle's dashboard is constantly exposed to a pretty harsh environment, including wide temperature swings, direct sunlight for hours at a time, various cleaning chemicals, and the occasional bump or hit. As they get older, all of these factors can cause dashboards to become faded, brittle, crack, and fall apart.
If your vehicle's dashboard is suffering from any of these problems and is in need of some serious TLC, you can renew and restore your car or truck's interior with a new dash pad cover (also commonly referred to as a dash cap) from 1A Auto.
Dash Caps From 1A Auto
Aftermarket dash caps from 1A Auto are molded using original factory dashboards to ensure a perfect fit for the specific make, model, and year of car or truck's existing dashboard. They are made from a type of vacuum formed plastic that allows for flexibility similar to rubber so that they are durable and can be easily maneuvered into position for easy automobile dashboard repair. Dash caps from 1A Auto have also been designed so that they easily install over your car or truck's original dash pad, so there is no need to remove the old one. Simply apply the adhesive that is included to the dash cap and then lay in place over your old dashboard. These dash covers are laminated with a special layer of ultra-violet resistant material which won't fade in the sun and deteriorate your dashboard and cause cracks in it. These interior dash covers are a breakthrough for the aftermarket and are perfect for any auto restoration project!
1A Auto Dash Pad Cover Features Summary:
- - Material: laminated with a UV resistant material to ensure that it will not fade or wear easily, giving
your vehicle's dashboard the protection it needs
- - Flexibility: made from a versatile plastic that allows for almost rubber like flexibility
- - Finish: dull sheen to minimize glare
- - Grain: matches the factory original for a virtually identical look
- - Comes with adhesive and installation instructions for a quick and permanent install that produces
beautiful results
- - Dash pad covers are molded in black. The customer can paint the product for an exact match. SEM
brand vinyl paints are recommended for re-coloring these dashboard covers.
- - Made in the U.S.A.
In addition to our aftermarket dash pad covers, we also carry a small selection of OEM replacement dash covers for certain makes and models. These are genuine replacement dashboard covers and are the very same part you would receive if purchased from your local dealer.
Can I Install a Dash Pad Cover Myself?
Although we recommend professional installation for most auto parts, here's an excellent link for the do-it-yourselfer describing how to install a newly purchased dash pad cover. We are not affiliated with this website, nor are we responsible for any of its content - we just think it's a great resource for you, our customer.
Need a New Dash Cap?
Do you have a worn out dash pad or dash cover? Well, you're not alone! If you need to breathe new life into a faded or damaged dashboard without having to replace your existing one, then you have come to the right place! At 1A Auto, you will find a large selection of dash pad covers for many makes and models that will help hide all of those unsightly scars like cracks, splits, fading, and tears that have accumulated over time on your old dashboard, while giving it the added protection it needs.

Now that I have all my parts together, I finished priming Ben Grim's arm to be painted with tints, tones and shades and it hit me. Hurt too, by the way! I have been collecting comics probably longer than most of you. I was paying 12 cents when I started and that was COVER PRICE! At one time, I had over 30,000 comic books! Oops, dang rabbit trail! Where was I...oh, it hit me! Why is Ben Grim's rock form "ORANGE" Now in my past 50 years, I don't remember any rocks being ORANGE? Nor do I remember within the THING'S origin, did it ever explain the reason why! My guess, the Thing was so cool, with "IT'S CLOBBERIN TIME!" that we just didn't care or didn't asks. I got to thinking, I know...AGAIN? We had the grey Hulk, the green Hulk and even a red Hulk...different Hulk, but a red one all the same. The last time I look at rocks, they were...well...grey! I brought this question up at my local comic shop were some older collectors were shopping and you should of seen the chins drop! It was like, I forced them to look at Ben Grim in a whole different light! No one there could answer the question either. To make my Super Skrull custom Thing arm and possibly a Ben Grim too, in grey? My question: (((((( If )))))) I do paint Super Skrull's Thing stoney arm "grey", would it really be a true Marvel Super Skrull? I'm pretty sure the answer is going to be no , but I think if I ever was writing the FF comics, Ben would be take a shower and wash all the orange off! And he would be at Hulk's level of strength too. You would think a non comic book movie Direct would say, rocks are grey so to make the Thing more realistic is to have his rocky form grey. Besides, dry brushing grey would be much easier than dry brushing orange.
Any tips on Dry Brushing the Things arms(especially if you painted him before) let me hear from ya...please! I like to keep most of the nooks and crannies black. I am using Stealth Venom as the base. I am using pretty much MadTinkers76 idea. http://www.figurerealm.com/viewcustomfi ... ?FID=14755 Reed's arm is going to be a bit different. I also like to have his flaming leg other than just red. I believe that he used a clear red there and the right blending of clear yellow, clear orange and clear red hopefully will give the legs a more fiery look? I just hope my comes out looking just as good as MadTinkers76 did! I should have a WIP up soon.
I would get more figures done, if I could stop over analyze aspect of each and every custom I build!
