9 Ridiculous Satanism Panics
If youŌĆÖve ever read the Bible, you know Satan was one bad dude. So it stands to reason people acting in his name wouldnŌĆÖt exactly be upstanding citizens, right? Not exactly. Over the centuries, weŌĆÖve proved ourselves kinda adept at spotting Satanism where thereŌĆÖs nothing to be seen. SometimesŌĆöas with the Salem witch trialsŌĆöthis leads to grand tragedy. At others, it only leads to farcical idiocy. Guess which this article is about.
We in the 21st century arenŌĆÖt exactly unused to stupid, time-wasting lawsuits. But at least our judges have a tendency to slap them down with enough regularity to stop us losing all faith in the system. The same canŌĆÖt be said for their medieval counterparts. In 1474, a Swiss rooster was discovered to have laid an eggŌĆösomething roosters typically lack the, uh, equipment to do. Rather than dismiss it as an obvious case of mistaken identity, the townsfolk had the rooster arrested and put on trial for demonic possession.
Yeah: a real trial, in a real court, with real judges. People at the time believed a possessed rooster could give birth to a BasiliskŌĆöa monster so evil it got a whole Harry Potter book devoted to it. Faced with this imminent danger, the judges sentenced the rooster to be burnt at the stakeŌĆöa feat so uniquely stupid they felt compelled to repeat it 300 years later.
For most of us, ŌĆśSatanismŌĆÖ conjures images of black mass and blood sacrifice and so on. Not for Patricia Pulling. As far as she and her organization B.A.D.D were concerned, there was only one face to modern SatanismŌĆöand that face involved 12-sided die and skinny adolescents pretending to be Thunder Gods.
In 1982, Pulling found herself on the wrong side of a shitty tragedy when her teenage son committed suicide. That would be enough to screw anyone up, and Pulling was not just ŌĆśanyoneŌĆÖ. Learning that her son had played D&D shortly before his death, she put two and two together and sued the gameŌĆÖs creators, along with the principle she believed had put a D&D ŌĆścurseŌĆÖ on him. It took two years for the case to be thrown out of court, but by then the damage was doneŌĆöand a whole generation of hysterical parents had something they could fear until rap music was invented.
Like the Deep South, rural England has its fair share of rednecks just itching to form a mob. Only, instead of child molesters and Peter Fonda, their vigilante groups have their sights set on something a little bigger.
In the winter of 1855, the population of Devon woke up to discover hoof-prints covering 100 miles of the county in a perfectly straight line. And I mean perfectly: when they met a wall they carried on over it. When they reached a house, they continued across the roof. Since nothing says ŌĆśSatanŌĆÖ like unexplained footprints, the local men armed themselves up and set out to kill the devil. Luckily, no dapper, goateed men happened to be strolling around the country at the time and the mob eventually wore itself out. In a ridiculous twist, it later emerged that a kangaroo had recently escaped from a nearby zooŌĆömeaning SkippyŌĆÖs brother was probably this close to being lynched by angry villagers.
Martin Luther is a pretty important guy in the history of protestantism. He triggered a major schism, helped spread protestant doctrine and even founded his own branch of Christianity. Not bad for a guy who thought the pope was literally the antichrist.
Yes, the pope. GodŌĆÖs representative on Earth and so on. Obviously a fan of the ŌĆśitŌĆÖs always the person you least suspectŌĆÖ school of thought, Luther condemned the papal office as being in league with SatanŌĆösparking a vast conspiracy theory that survives to this day. Islam, Communism, Nazism, Freemasonry, the assassination of Lincoln . . . everything bad thatŌĆÖs ever happened is said to be the fault of ŌĆśSatanŌĆÖs popeŌĆÖ, who no doubt teaches piety as a cunning way of condemning people to the flames. It doesnŌĆÖt make any sense, but hey, thatŌĆÖs insanity for you.
The Loudon Possession is probably one of the stupidest witchcraft cases on record. Basically, a bunch of repressed French nuns began to suffer vivid, erotic dreams and blamed the Devil. Since this was the early 17th century, the target of their lustŌĆöa local priest called GrandierŌĆöwas arrested for causing demonic possession. Then things got really dumb. Exorcists were called in and found the nuns showed absolutely no signs of supernatural visitation. They couldnŌĆÖt levitate, read minds, see the future, speak in previously unknown languages or do anything a half-assed con artist couldnŌĆÖt. All they could do was scream about sex a lot, something most of us can accomplish with nothing more demonic than a pair of vocal cords. The exorcists dismissed the claims, so Grandier was released without charge and given a full apology.
Whoops, I mean the exorcists were told to zip it and Grandier put on trial for witchcraft. There, the judge ruled that anyone speaking in GrandierŌĆÖs defense would be fined and tortured, while the prosecution was allowed to submit evidence like this ŌĆścontractŌĆÖ between Grandier and Satan, that just happened to be written in the handwriting of one of the nuns. After a fair and balanced trial that was anything but, Grandier was tortured horrifically and burnt alive at the stake. Meanwhile the ŌĆśpossessionsŌĆÖ continuedŌĆöwith the convent eventually charging tourists entry to watch the exorcisms.
But Loudon wasnŌĆÖt even the largest case of mass-insanity to rock seventeenth century France. That dubious honor would go to the Affair of the Poisons, an outbreak of Satanist hysteria so widespread it would even affect the King. Around 1679, Louis XIV discovered that some of the noblemen and women of his court were resorting to charms, curses and potions to get ahead. And by ŌĆśsomeŌĆÖ, I mean ŌĆśall of themŌĆÖŌĆöthe subsequent investigation uncovered over 300 alleged poisoners. Quite a scandal, huh? Well, sort of. Unfortunately, most of those arrested were third rate alchemists, conjurers and quacks hawking folk ŌĆśpoisonsŌĆÖ about as deadly as a case of Mountain Dew. And, faced with torture and a certain death, they started indicting anyone they could think ofŌĆöand when they ran out of people, they started inventing lurid details. Infanticide, black mass, blood sacrifice, magic curses . . . the French police believed every single word of it. Panic gripped the court, hundreds of people were thrown in prison and dozens executed in a five year purgingŌĆöproving itŌĆÖs not just America that can do ŌĆśblind panicŌĆÖ.
Sometimes, the line between tragedy and comedy is so blurred as to become not just invisible, but completely non-existent. The McMartin Pre-School Trial is one of those times.
The panic started in 1983, when an alcoholic, paranoid schizophrenic named Judy Johnson accused her estranged husband Ray of sodomizing her son. Now, thereŌĆÖs nothing amusing or unusual about that sentence in itself, but JohnsonŌĆÖs accusations didnŌĆÖt stop there. She also claimed her Ex had sex with animals, held satanic orgies with the other teachers at the preschool he worked in and could fly. Usually, when a mentally ill woman starts claiming her former-boyfriend has magic superpowers, the authorities make sure she gets the treatment she clearly needs. Not this time.
Ray was arrested and over 300 pre-schoolers questioned in the most absurdly-leading way possible. Being, yŌĆÖknow, toddlers, they did what the adults obviously wanted them to do and started making up stories about witches, and secret tunnels hidden inside toilets. Because the '80s were insane, the case went to trialŌĆöresulting in one of the most-expensive, protracted legal battles in history. It wasnŌĆÖt until 1990 that someone finally realized weŌĆÖd all gone collectively mad and Ray was acquittedŌĆöseven years after his crazy ex-wife first decided he was SupermanŌĆÖs pervy brother.
In a list of ŌĆśbiggest overreactionsŌĆÖ, James VIŌĆÖs response to bad weather on his wedding day would come at #1. On the way from Denmark, his brideŌĆÖs boat ran into rough seas. When James went out to lend a hand, a storm sprang up, nearly drowning the future King and Queen of England. Rather than being grateful for his near-escape, James decided heŌĆÖd been the victim of a witches plot and promptly had dozens of people arrested and tortured. In whatŌĆÖs probably a familiar pattern to you by now, many of those tortured indicted other people to save themselvesŌĆötriggering a wave of witch trials across Scotland that resulted in as many as 4,000 people being executed. All thanks to a bit of bad weather.
ThereŌĆÖs a reason rock is called ŌĆśthe devilŌĆÖs musicŌĆÖŌĆöand that reason is ŌĆśit sells albumsŌĆÖ. No ordinary person believes Alice Cooper really holds black mass, or Ozzy Osbourne is anything but a befuddled reality TV star. But the '80s were not ordinary timesŌĆöand otherwise normal people were convinced rock music contained subliminal satanic messages that could only be heard played backwards.
Just to be absolutely clear, there is no evidence whatsoever that playing something backwards is a shortcut to mass mind-control. But that didnŌĆÖt stop the State of Nevada putting Judas Priest on trial after two guys attempted suicide after listening to their music. The case was eventually thrown out for being less-scientific than just blaming magic, but not before roughly a trillion bored parents leapt onboard the panicwagon. And that wagon kept on rolling long after backmasking was forgotten, leading to ridiculous assertions like Marilyn Manson being responsible for a massacre his music had literally no involvement in.
But I guess thatŌĆÖs just human natureŌĆöweŌĆÖd rather blame the Devil than our own failings, even if that means pretending rock stars can control our minds and our neighbors are flying monsters.

A 96-year-old New York man got the surprise of his life when he found a rat baked into his birthday cake.
Joseph Valente was celebrating his birthday with his family with a big slice of German apple ring cake from his favorite place, King Kullen in Commack over the weekend. When he took a bite he realized it didn't taste right.
His family checked out the cake and saw something black and sticking out. At first they thought it was mold.
"I saw something sticking out," Neil Gold, the boyfriend of Valente's niece told WABC radio. When he flipped the cake over he found the rat's tail and pieces of the rats body baked into the cake.
King Kullen the store that baked the cake said they have never had this happen before and they have been in business for 30 years. To top it off, they had just passed an inspection last week.
The family's attorney stated, "I personally am of the opinion that this cake was tampered with," said Ed Yule.
Well, it is hardly unlikely that the rat crawled in to the oven and into the cake pan by itself, so it had to have gotten in there before the cake ever got into the oven. How it was not noticed in the cake pan before it was put into the oven, is a wonder to me.

Disease Proof
Is the Fitness of Your Significant Other Important?
FitSugar is kicking around a great question. When picking a partner, or as some would say, following in love, do you consider your potential mate's health and fitness habits? Does it even matter?
As for me, I'll be blunt. I won't even date a girl that doesn't exercise regularly. And I prefer if they eat healthfully too, not necessarily like I do, but let's just say, I've dated more than a few vegans and vegetarians. And since we're being frank, I'll admit it. I've actually ended a relationship because the girl stopped exercising and brought snack cakes into my apartment. Oh hell no!
Sorry, but for me, a healthy lifestyle is one of those make-or-break issues, among other things, but what about you, are the diet and exercise habits of your significant other important? Do tell.
This is going to sound absurd, but even though I am the fat and unfit one, I was always interested in nutrition and wouldn't go out with someone who "would never change", like my brother-in-law who feeds his kids candy instead of food, has meat three times a day and sees vegetables as a cash-crop but not something he would consider eating himself. I weighed over 300 pounds when I met my husband, a fit long distance runner. He's very supportive of my efforts and does Eat to Live with me. He even walks with me at a pace that must surely bore him to tears. Such is love!
Hi Gerry
Great question. I am now in a relationship purgatory, I see a girl less and less as we grow apart, I get fitter, she gets fatter as she continues to eat drink and smoke like a pig.
Even with friends, I notice now that it doesn't matter who we know that dies of cancer or heart disease at 50 or even 45 (and there have been many over the last few years), it seems that NO ONE I know is going to do ANYTHING to change their habits even in the slightest.
I am running out of people to do stuff with, but I am not going to let that derail me, I will eventually find other people to hang with.
It is also important to remember (as readers of this blog know) that being very muscular or a marathon runner is not quite the same as being healthy, so don't be too smug about it ;-).
Hanlie, if you still have significant weight to lose or diet modifications to make, I suspect other readers here will join me in suggesting that you consider a direct consultation with Dr Fuhrman. Also, look for (I think) Rebecca's story here in the blog archives.
Cheers, Steve
To me, it isnt someone's outward appearance that matters, but I have to admit, being around someone that isnt healthy and who eats bad foods in front of me that I am trying not to eat, makes me VERY grumpy!
If I were starting from "scratch" I would have the same opinion as you, Gerry. I wouldn't date someone who was a total couch potato. Among other things, sharing experiences such as hiking, backpacking, biking, or other exercises gives couples a chance to do something positive together.
In my situation, I married before I knew any of this, and got into health and fitness in my late 20s. Thus, I am kind of the lone ranger, since I have been unable so far to convince the rest of my family the benefits of a healthy diet.
Together is better....but if you find yourself alone in this quest for health...keep going...
I don't know about you guys, but judging someone as a suitable companion solely by the nature of their eating/exercise habits seems pretty shallow and intolerant.
I disagree with James. Judging a man by income or height is shallow. Judging a woman by breast size is shallow.
Eating and exercise habits say a lot about someone. It is deep, not shallow.
Regards, Steve
I'm fairly new to the Eat to Live lifestyle. I took a cooking class from the Cancer Project just because a friend of mine was taking it and I was introduced to Dr. Fuhrman's book. I've been hooked ever since I read it. I have never been over weight but I was on medication for high cholesterol because of genetics. I am now off of medication due to my new eating habits.
My husband of 22 years is not on board with me. We have always been active and we exercise daily together but he is still overweight. He doesn't think a meal is complete without meat and he loves beer. I continue to cook healthy meals but am adding small portions of organic chicken or fresh water fish for him. I also hope to have him listen to the audio version of Eat to Live, which he agreed to do. It will probably be a slow process for him to come around but I am willing to have patience and keep trying.
Hopeful in AK,
I agree with James. I think so much more matters with a person than whether they exercise and it doesn't mean they are a bad person because they eat unhealthfully and don't exercise.
Having said that, eating healthfully is important for me, and I do notice that my non-ETL boyfriend does get me off track. I have joked that when we are together, he eats better and I eat worse. But I am in love with him, so it's not a deal breaker.
I think finding that perfect someone is a blend of so many factors that it's impossible to tell. Someone who might be perfect for you on paper might have no spark while you end up falling in love with someone who doesn't match up with an internal list.
I also disagree with James. A desire for healthy living is not shallow. I think in the best of all worlds, a couple should agree on major things in life, like religion, politics, and ....health and fitness. It is much more fun to do something together with a like-minded partner than to go it alone. Plus, you reinforce each other, hold one another accountable and otherwise keep each other on track. Something as mundane as shopping can become a fun, shared experience. Recreation can become a time to be together, and communicate on a deep level.
No, this is not a shallow subject. What is shallow is being merely attracted to someone, while you go your separate ways.... Me to the health food store, and she to McDonalds. Who wants to live like that?
Steve, with all due respect, a person's eating/exercise habits say NOTHING about the true person underneath the skin. I've met a couple people in my lifetime (and I'm willing to bet you have also) who've adopted super-healthy lifestyles (vegan diet, and worked out almost every day) who pretty much had arrogant, elitist attitudes and were all-around unpleasant people who I'd never consider going out with.
Michael, you make a good point about choosing a partner whom you have something to share with as far as religion, politics, and....health and fitness. However, this should not be the "be all, end all" way to decide whether or not this person would be a good partner.
Suppose you met a very charming girl (or guy, whatever floats your boat) whom you immediately "hit it off" and have numerous things in common and relate to on a deep level. But later, you find out she is not a stickler for the ETL lifestyle; she eats fast food and does not exercise as regularly as you do. Does that automatically mean you should blow her off as a prospective partner? Don't you think it would be a good shared experience to help curb her bad eating/exercise habits?

Unfortunately for Elise Mosca, it seems that Chris Bukowski, just like Dylan Petitt, didn't end up being her Prince Charming. While neither Chris nor Elise has made a statement regarding the current status of their relationship, Chris' Twitter and Instagram pages suggests that he just couldn't handle her.
On the third episode of "Bachelor in Paradise," which aired on Monday, August 18, Chris injured his knee. Despite being in pain, he went on a one-on-one date with Elise, with whom he had made out with in the prior episode. The date seemed to go well and ended with them making out in the Jacuzzi.
Elise certainly felt as if she had a future with Chris. When the rose ceremony came around and it was announced that Chris would be leaving the competition to go back to Chicago because of his injury, Elise made the decision to leave the show as well and follow him to Chicago.
So did Elise's decision pay off with a great relationship with Chris? It doesn't seem so. As the episode aired, Chris took to Twitter to give his reactions. First, he retweeted a tweet from Jaclyn Swartz, who competed on "Bachelor" and "Bachelor Pad," stating that there's "a fine line between classy sequins and holy s**t she's gonna slice off my d$*k sequins," a dig at Elise's love of wearing sequins. Chris then tweeted that he's "not a rainbow," an obvious response to Elise proclaiming early on in the episode that she wants Chris to be her rainbow.
The next day, Chris found a fan's sarcastic Instagram post asking him if he'll love her if she dresses up in sequins funny. Also, a look at Chris' Instagram page shows no photos of Elise. Rather, it seems that he has been hanging out with Jaclyn quite a bit. He even watched last week's episode of "Bachelor in Paradise" with Jaclyn.
As for Elise Mosca, she doesn't seem to have any ill feelings towards Chris Bukowski. She even thanked him for going on the date with her. Perhaps viewers will see them reconnecting at another "Bachelor" spin-off in the future?

GENERIC NAME: alendronate
BRAND NAME: Fosamax, Binosto
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Alendronate is in a class of medications called bisphosphonates. The bisphosphonate class includes etidronate (Didronel), ibandronate (Boniva), pamidronate (Aredia), risedronate (Actonel), and tiludronate (Skelid). Bisphosphonates are used for treating osteoporosis (reduced density of bone that leads to fractures) and bone pain from diseases such as metastatic breast cancer, multiple myeloma, and Paget's disease. Bone is in a constant state of remodeling. New bone is laid down by cells called osteoblasts while old bone is removed by cells called osteoclasts. Bisphosphonates strengthen bone by inhibiting bone removal (resorption) by osteoclasts. After menopause, there is an increased rate of bone loss leading to osteoporosis, and alendronate has been shown to increase bone density and decrease fractures of bones. The FDA approved alendronate in September 1995.

China Washes Hands on Heparin Purity
If the U.S. is concerned about the quality of raw heparin imported from China, the Americans need to make sure the proper controls are in place, China's State Food and Drug Administration said today.
The Chinese FDA said it works with foreign regulators to monitor factories, but the ultimate responsibility for "safeguarding the legality, quality and safety of active pharmaceutical ingredients" lies with the importing nation, the WSJ's Gordon Fairclough reports.
A version of the blood thinner heparin, sold by Baxter International, has been associated with illnesses and deaths in this country. Some of the key raw ingredient for the drug comes from China. In today's statement, China's FDA put concerns about the Chinese product at arm's length, noting that the Chinese manufacturer that supplied the raw heparin is majority U.S. owned, its production technology was supplied by an American firm and all of its output was exported to the U.S.
Chinese producers of active pharmaceutical ingredients must be drug companies that are "registered and certified" by the Chinese FDA, an agency spokeswoman told the WSJ. Foreign buyers should confirm this certification and importing countries "should make strict tests" on ingredients. The company that sold the raw heparin used by Baxter wasn't certified by the Chinese FDA because it was registered as a chemical company, not a drug company.

Why has Big Show been off television?
As noted here on Richard's Backstage Blog, Big Show is not injured and is out on requested time off. He was on WWE's overseas tour of Australia earlier this month and should be back shortly.
Is the news of John Cena's surgery legitimate?
We were actually blindsided with the news of John Cena's having surgery given the fact we were told the plan was (and apparently still is) to do Cena vs. CM Punk again at Hell in a Cell. The surgery took place Tuesday in Alabama but we are still gathering more information as this seemingly came "out of the blue." I posted an article earlier featuring quotes from Dr. James Andrews, who performed the surgery. You can read it at this link.
Is Dolph Ziggler's Money in the Bank briefcase limited to the World Heavyweight Championship?
Yes, the way they did the Money in the Bank ladder matches, one briefcase was for the WWE Championship (won by John Cena) with the other being for the World Heavyweight Championship (won by Dolph Ziggler). There has been a lot of talk of Ziggler "cashing in" so with every show, especially every pay-per-view, I wait for it to happen but so far it has not.
With CM Punk's heel turn not seeming to work, do you see WWE making him babyface?
CM Punk's heel turn is working. While his fans are always going to be his fans, he's over as a heel and I laugh every time I see a critical comment come through regarding Punk's attitude. Punk is a genius and is doing exactly what was intended to happen with his character. If you're annoyed by Punk, you've been worked.

Less than a month after state lawmakers liberalized agriculture and aquaculture laws, a Virginia county wants to reel in two small oyster fishermen and potentially strip farming rights from thousands of local residents.
York County filed an injunction against Greg Garrett and Anthony Bavuso on Friday in the latest effort to shut down their oyster businesses.
To block future aquaculture operations, the county is weighing ordinances that would require special-use permits for oyster farming.
The county crackdown was upheld by the state Supreme Court last year, but the General Assembly last month backed small-scale operators by enacting sweeping right-to-farm legislation — on land and water.
"The county's response has been to thumb their nose," Bavuso told Watchdog.org.
Bavuso pays the state $1.25 an acre for the right to farm 34 acres of Poquoson River bottom for oysters. Independently, Bavuso and Garrett each hold nearly a dozen permits and certifications from the state.
York County officials say the oystermen's odiferous crop poses a nuisance to neighbors. Among a set of proposed regulations, the county said it may consider special-use permits on a case-by-case basis.
Mike Prunty, founder of the American Freedom Project, said officials are overstepping their boundaries in light of new state law.
"It appears to me that the mentality of the Board of Supervisors has evolved to the point of disconnect from the very purpose of the posts which they hold," Prunty said.
He said the two small-time oyster farmers – whose hauls can run around 5,000 oysters a week — do not present a "demonstrable inconvenience or harm of any kind to their neighbors."
More broadly, Bavuso says the dispute "is not all about aquaculture — it's about agriculture."
Garrett agrees.
"About 5,000 parcels are currently legal for farming. The county could strip them of their rights," he warned.

Saxon Carden
The origins of townships in Cheshire are obscure, although by the time most of them enter the light of recorded history, in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, they are clearly part of a well-organised system. Recent scholarship has tended to push back the date at which this system was first established into the Saxon period. Dr Nick Higham has made a case for believing that the territorial organisation of Cheshire, as recorded in Domesday Book, is largely a creation of the early tenth century, when control of northern Mercia was wrested from the Vikings. In many instances, though, it can be argued that the individual estates which were grouped into Hundreds at this time originated at a much earlier period.
Placenames often preserve information relating to the history of an area that is not found explicitly in documentary or archaeological sources. For instance, the language and form of a name can give clues about the origins of a settlement and the form which it took, whilst field names can indicate past discoveries of buried treasure or suggest former land use and topography.
Carden is first attested in 1230 as Kauerthin; other forms beginning Kar- or Car- show it to be derived from an Old English *Carrworign, enclosure at a rock. The element worign is relatively common in the region, being attested at Worthenbury, Hawarden (where the pronunciation Harden exactly parallels the history of the name of Carden whilst retaining the older spelling), Arden, Larden, Northenden and Woodworth Green. What type of enclosure it refers to is not known, if it refers to a specific type; the name Worthenbury is certainly suggestive of a fortification as it contains the Old English burh. The only other local occurrence of carr is in the form Bedestonecarre recorded for Bidston Hill in 1303.
This type of name is difficult to date, and could have formed at any time between the seventh century and the first record of the name in 1230. The type of enclosure associated with a wor name is usually assumed to have been the smallest type of dependent farmstead in a larger estate, which could explain why the Domesday Commissioners did not distinguish Carden from Tilston. As a minor subdivision of an estate based at Tilston, Carden would not have been mentioned as a separate unit until the fragmentation of Saxon estates in the post-conquest period.
The Domesday Book was compiled in 1086 as a survey - commissioned by William I to establish what land he owned in the newly-conquered territory of England, and what other people owned. His commissioners also sought to establish who the owners had been at the time of Eadweard the Confessors death in January 1066 (Harold II being regarded by the Norman administration as a usurper).
Like the other townships in Tilston parish, Carden is not recorded in the Domesday Book, as they were probably all treated as part of Tilston. In 1066, Tilston had been part of the possessions of Edwin, Earl of Mercia (1065-70). He held numerous estates in Cheshire, including many in Dudestan Hundred, which probably represent the remnants of Mercian royal holdings in the county. Tillestone was evidently already subdivided, as the Bishop claimed half a hide of the manor and, after the Norman conquest, another half hide was sublet to Ranulf Mainwaring.
In 1066, the four hides (approximately 480 acres) of taxable arable land paid 6, making it one of the most prosperous Cheshire manors. Eight ploughteams could be accommodated on this land; one was in demesne. The recorded population consisted of four villeins, two bordars, four radmen, a reeve, a smith, a miller and two slaves who shared four ploughteams; the mill was worth eight shillings. The manor is described as being one league long and one wide (about 2.4 by 2.4 km); this is reasonable enough for the east-west measurement, but only acceptable for the north-south dimensions if the township of Horton Green is not included.
At the time of the conquest the manor was waste. This term is thought to mean that the estate provided no revenue to its lord, and although the causes of this decline in value are unknown, they are no longer thought to be the direct result of the conquest. By 1086 the value was 30 shillings, only 25% of its earlier value. Three components can be discerned: the main manor, presumably Tilston township, one part in dispute with the Bishop of Chester perhaps Grafton and the part sublet to Ranulf, either Carden or Stretton.

Joel M. Weissman Negotiates the Complexities of a Dissolution of Marriage
Contemplating or unexpectedly visiting a divorce lawyer's office, the meeting results in an unforeseen revelation for most clients of Joel M. Weissman. Certainly they are seeking the marital and family lawyer on one of the worst days of their lives. However, the clients may not have expected to discover a sympathetic listener and man of compassion. Weissman gets it. He knows what divorcing partners need.
"Even in our modern society where divorce is increasingly commonplace, the process is an emotionally charged period of personal transition," says Weissman, who is known for resolving high-profile cases. "In addition to dealing with the very human issues and family dynamics common to everyone, those with a substantial net worth are also challenged to divide assets of respectable and complex estates. Additionally, loss of control of their own lives for at least a year is routine."
Compassion without results, however, would be shallow solace. Weissman addresses clients in a robust comfort of understanding that they are obtaining professional representation. His practice's success is not based on volume, but outcomes. Every client receives the level of attention he or she requires, 24/7 – no automated voicemail services, ever. Weissman limits the number of cases so he and his team have the ability to control every aspect of representation, from painstaking discovery, skillful negotiation during mediation as well as hearings and trials for persuasive representation in the courtroom, including the appellate level.
"The dissolution of a marriage partnership is an intensely personal and private matter," adds Weissman. "I assist clients in making sound decisions and litigate for them with one goal in mind: to provide them a new beginning as they transform from a broken unit to a whole person."

The San Jose Sharks have taken the first two games of their three-game road trip through the Eastern Conference. The meeting with the Tampa Bay Lightning will end it Saturday, January 18.
The personnel advantages the Sharks had in the first meeting (a 5-1 win) would be exacerbated by the absence of Steven Stamkos if they were not also without Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl. They need to do well in all three pictured keys to victory if they want to sweep both the season series and road trip in what is easily the toughest game of the three.
Even without their star, the Lightning have been able to hold onto the third-best record in the Eastern Conference. Competition certainly has something to do with it—they would be a wild card in the Western Conference—but they deserve credit for battling without sudden stud Ben Bishop (1.90 goals against, .938 save percentage) in net, too.
While Stamkos is skating, he is not expected to be back this month. Bishop has been back for two games, allowing just two goals between them. Martin St. Louis is playing like he belongs on Team Canada, but the lack of support shows in that he was the only player to score in their fourth-straight home loss.
However, those four losses represent half of Tampa Bay's total home losses (14-5-3 overall), and they are 11-4-2 against the Western Conference. San Jose has a 14-10-3 record on the road and is an identical 11-4-2 against the Eastern Conference.
The Lightning have the desperation of turning around a four-game slide. They are a game behind the Atlantic Division-leading Pittsburgh Penguins and a game ahead of the Montreal Canadiens for home-ice advantage in the first round of the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Sharks are coming off two road wins and the Anaheim Ducks finally lost, so the gap between them is less than five games for the first time in a week. The Los Angeles Kings are just three points back for second place in the Pacific Division and home-ice advantage in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Ultimately, the urgency should be higher for Tampa Bay. That will keep San Jose from winning one of the three pictured keys, falling short in regulation.
Move your feet
The Tampa Bay Lightning play a fast game, and have some great skaters. If they catch the San Jose Sharks flat-footed, they will break their recent scoring drought.
Sharks have to keep swimming to not sink. If San Jose keeps attacking with speed in all three zones, they have a chance to harness the Lightning.
Forecheck their blue line
The weakness of the Tampa Bay Lightning is their blue line. While Matt Carle and Victor Hedman are skilled, this team is seventh-worst in the NHL in blocked shots and this unit has accumulated less than 80 percent of the point total that the San Jose Sharks have gotten from the blue line.
If San Jose's forwards can get on the Tampa Bay's blue-liners, the puck can stay in the attacking zone and the hosts will not be able to play a fast game.
Crash the net
Ben Bishop is six-and-a-half feet tall, taking up most of the net. The San Jose Sharks will have to get him down in the butterfly and get pucks up past his enormous wing-span.
The best way to do that is to be in his face. That will force him to take away everything low and play position, then the Sharks have to shoot high and pounce on rebounds before Bishop can move his huge frame in the way.

The description did not mention that it was an hour long amateur benefit. For the parents and friends of the participants it was a lovely afternoon. For those of us who drove 20 miles to see the performance it was "interesting". We loved the multi-cultural aspect but it really had little relation to the much loved "Nutcracker." My ten year old said" It can't be a nutcracker without Clare, the sugar plumb fairies, and Mother Ginger!"

Nothing thrilling. It was just ok at best. I must have had higher expectations for the quality of performance.

I'm sorry to offend and I may be thought of as a big asshole but because of the high cost I paid for such a terrible show I'm never going to use goldstar again, goodbye...

This was a very amateurish production. Hard to follow the story. Had I known, I would not have spent as much money.
This performance runs approximately 90 minutes.

After eight months and however many matches, Manchester United faces Barcelona in the Champions League final at 2 p.m. EDT on Fox. The match pits my favorite team against the "best team in the world" in the biggest match of the year.
And I'm going to miss it.
As many of you know, I work at a university. Well, this weekend is reunion and commencement weekend. While the unnamed Premiership footballer and his teammates try to break down Lionel Messi and his crew, I will be interviewing graduates on their eighth cocktail for a social media feature. In fact, I likely won't get home until about 10 p.m. on Saturday.
So my question: What would you do?
Sure, this is an opportunity to rip me for being a United fan, for not making time for my team, for whatever. Faced with the same situation, however, how would you handle it? I have an iPhone, so I can keep track of the score, but I'm debating whether to go on complete Twitter/Facebook/Soccernet radio silence and waiting until late at night to watch the match.
Give me your suggestions and your grief. Besides, since I'm the only UFer whose team really has a shot at being in this position every year (with two exceptions), this might be the only time you ever get to think about your team in the Champions League final.
There you go. Let me have it. And think about me while you're watching. Ugh.

A woman allegedly assaulted by her boyfriend in Oroville has died.
The Butte County District Attorney's Office has confirmed that 33-year-old Abby Tucker has died of injuries suffered Monday afternoon.
Her boyfriend, 43-year-old Olabku Jones was in court Wednesday and arraigned on several serious charges and enhancements surrounding the beating of his pregnant girlfriend who remains in critical condition. District Attorney Mike Ramsey says the charges against Jones will be amended Thursday to include a murder charge.
Jones was arrested Monday afternoon after investigators spent the day combing a home on Spencer Avenue in Oroville collecting evidence.
Jones claims his girlfriend slipped and fell in the shower.
In court Wednesday, Deputy District Attorney Robert Thomas III said Jones "pummeled" Tucker and added that she is "likely brain dead."
Today he was arraigned on charges including corporal injury to a spouse with enhancements for causing great bodily injury and leaving her paralyzed.
While the charges were being read Jones shouted out "...just give me the injection!"
Jones did not enter a plea and his bail was set at $1 million. He will be back in court Wednesday.
Jones has previous convictions, including one for robbery in San Joaquin County.

Basic Troubleshooting for Android Games
1. Restart your device
If you are having trouble with a game on your Android device, please first try simply turning your device off and on again. It's a cliche for a reason--it often does the trick!
2. Clear the app data and cache
You're often advised to clear your browser's cache, but on Android devices, you have the same ability with apps, and it's helpful in just the same ways. Imagine a robot walking along a track, and it comes to an obstruction of some sort. The robot doesn't have a way to change course and walk around; it's just going to keep bumping into the object. If you clear the cache, you remove the blocker, and the robot can move forward again.
Open your device's Settings menu, and look for the app in question on the list of installed apps. Tap its name in the list to open the expanded menu. There will be buttons labelled Clear Data and Clear Cache. If you try Clear Cache, and it doesn't work, you can then try Clear Data. If you try Clear Data first, it will clear the cache at the same time!
3. Force-quit the app
When you've launched an app, it remains active in the background unless you manually close it. This is great, because it lets the app load faster the next time you want to use it, but it can also cause problems. Sometimes a program simply needs to be allowed to sleep a moment and wake back up.
Open your device's Settings menu, and look for the app in question on the list of installed apps. Tap its name in the list to open the expanded menu. Tap the Force Stop button to quit the app completely.
4. Force-quit other apps
As we established above, the apps you launch will remain active in the background for faster loading. But how many apps have you launched? How many programs are still taking up processing power while you're not even using them? If you're going on a hike, and you've packed your backpack with provisions, it will weigh you down some, but you need everything in there. But what if you just threw your hiking gear into your laptop bag without taking out the computer first? You don't need a laptop on a mountain, and carrying it'll just slow you down.
Go to the Settings menu. In the Apps list, there is a tab labelled Running, which lists all currently active apps. One at a time, you can view each app and hit Stop. In this process, be cautious; you only want to stop apps you originally installed! The list of running apps also includes processes that are components of your device's Operating System. So the rule is, if you don't recognize it as something you deliberately added to your device, you probably shouldn't touch it.
5. Uninstall the app and download it again
This is the final basic step in any software troubleshooting process. It's usually effective when all else has failed. You do, of course, need to be sure you're going to be able to download it again! Make sure you know your Google Play account information to reinstall apps purchased through that marketplace. You may need to contact Amazon Android AppStore support for assistance reinstalling games from their store.
To uninstall an app, go to the Settings menu and find your app. Tap the button marked Uninstall.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The Alabama gymnastics team moved up to third in the national rankings after closing out its regular season with a 197.525 last Friday, which it used to knock off then No. 1 Oklahoma. It was the Crimson Tide's fifth consecutive 197-plus score.
Rankings are calculated by Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) at this point in the season. The formula takes a team's three highest road scores and its next three highest scores, home or away, drops the highest score and averages the remaining five.
The Florida Gators regained the top spot in the nation, while the Sooners dropped one spot to No. 2 this week. With the Tide's bounce to No. 3, Michigan moved down to No. 4, while Georgia overtook LSU for the No. 5 spot.
The Southeastern Conference Championships, slated for this Saturday in Little Rock, Ark., also uses RQS for seeding purposes. Florida, Alabama, Georgia and LSU are the top four seeds and will compete in the evening session starting at 6 p.m. CT at Verizon Arena while Auburn, Arkansas, Kentucky and Missouri will compete in the afternoon session.
Overall, the Tide is ranked second on the floor exercise and third on the balance beam and vault, after tying for its best team vault score of the season against Oklahoma. Alabama is also ranked sixth on the uneven bars, following its season-high 49.425 on the event against the Sooners.
Junior Kim Jacob is ranked 25th in the all-around competition, as well as fifth on the floor exercise and eighth on the balance beam. Jacob posted a 9.9 in both the floor and beam against the Sooners, winning the floor exercise.
Junior Diandra Milliner is ranked 12th on vault after tying her season-best score of 9.925 against Oklahoma. Milliner also moved up in the floor exercise to claim the No. 16 spot, while senior Ashley Priess is ranked 14th on balance beam. Junior Sarah DeMeo is No. 18 and senior Ashley Sledge moved up to claim the 25th spot on the uneven bars. Sledge won the uneven bars against Oklahoma, after posting a career-high 9.950 in the event.
After competing at the SEC Championships this Saturday, the Tide returns home as host of the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional Championship on April 6. Tickets for the NCAA Regional Championship are available through the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262) located in the lobby of Coleman Coliseum or online at RollTide.com.

A729 Battery life
I have owned my a729 for over a month now, and while I love the audio quality, video quality, and speed of the interface, I have to say I am somewhat disappointed with the supposedly amazing battery life. Now while I understand that the settings I am using are not the basic standings, it seems that i got better battery life off my old ipod nano (2nd generation) than what I am currently getting. On 5 brightness, dynamic normalizer, and using my koss porta pros it seems that my battery life empties really quickly. Maybe I am expecting too much, and maybe my headphones require too much power, but overall I feel like I get maybe 25 hours audio (320 kbps mostly) if im lucky and maybe 6 hours video (768 kbps, 192 kbps audio) if I am lucky. To be honest it definitely does seem like using the standard headphones that the player came with does definitely up the battery life significantly. Do most people run the player on 3 brightness, with lower audio fidelity tracks, and less demanding headphones, or is my player faulty?
|[Remove Advertisement]
I run on full brightness, with 192kbps music mostly, and some CX300s.
I can't say I've measured the battery life, but it certainly isn't bad. Remember that having the screen on (i.e. changing tracks etc.) will lower the life significantly.
Aside from that... 25 hours is quite good! Surely plenty of time for you to give it a charge? :P
heck yes 25 is plenty of time to listen to your music. but the 5 brightness does kill it a bit, and try turning on the screensaver and set it to blank, i find it useful, my battery is as effective atm either, but thats cuzz since i got it, i havent let it die completely and charged it completely, too lazy to do that
Players: Sandisk Sansa e260, rockbox
Headphones: jvc air cushion..the cheap model..
WindSpear: letting Lithium Ion batteries drain completely is not beneficial. That procedure is for the older Nickel Cadmium batteries. Charge when you can and full drain only when you can't charge is the best policy for LiIon. Never store them discharged either, if you aren't going to be using the player for a while, an 80 percent charge will make the storage easier on the battery.

How to Speed Up a Mac
The Four Best Ways to Speed Up Your Mac!
Remember the feeling of a brand new Mac? A Mac without
rainbow wheels. A Mac that didn't cause headaches or frustration.
Everything was
! It's funny how everyone
thinks the
same thing when they get a new Mac:
Ok, this time I'll keep it clean! I won't download anything that'll
slow it down!"
Apps, docs, photos, and a filled iTunes library later, your Mac
starts to act as if it's hiking 20 miles uphill in the snow!
Don't worry, we'll show you 4 proven ways to speed up your Mac.
How to Fix Your Slow Mac
Startup Items
Update OS X
Update Hardware
Clean Up Hard Drive
Manage Your Startup Items
It goes without saying that a clean startup helps speed up a Macbook
that's running slowly! Imagine a fast Mac startup! No wasted time
waiting for Chrome, Firefox, or Safari to load! Instant access! Well,
when your Mac boots up, it runs a lot of unnecessary apps. These
apps slow your Mac down! Take control of your Mac again! Go to your
System Preferences > Users & Groups
and then click on your username. Now click on "Login Items," select a program you don't immediately need when your Mac starts up, and click the "-" button below.
Taking care of these startup programs is an easy way to help add
speed to your Mac!
Update Your OS
Typically, Macs take care of themselves. The latest software from
Apple makes speeding your Mac up simple. Check the latest
version of Mac OS X
. Compare it to the OS X version on your
Mac by clicking on the apple icon in the top left corner of your
screen. Then click
About This Mac
. Apple releases these updates
to help speed up Mac. The latest operating system provides loads
of benefits. So make sure you have the latest OS X installed!
However, if you want a dramatic increase in Mac speed…
Upgrade Your Hardware
Unfortunately, upgrading your Mac hardware is costly, time-
consuming, and not the easiest thing to do. Not to mention that
upgrading Mac hardware sometimes isn't even
on certain
Macs! However, you should definitely check out this guide on
and Why to Upgrade Your Mac's RAM"
to see if you can upgrade

Comcast Oregon late fee class action update-cable customers win another round
Yesterday, Judge Richard Baldwin ruled that Comcast Oregon's cable TV subscribers may seek statutory damages in their pending class action. Here is a pdf copy of the trial court's opinion: Judge Baldwin Order & Opinion re amended class cert order. The upshot is that subscribers included in the late fee class action can seek $200, if they can prove that Comcast knowingly or recklessly violated Oregon's late fee billing requirements.
As with other rulings in the case, it's important to keep this in context. Judge Baldwin ruled only that the class can make the claim for statutory damages of $200 per class member. He did not rule on the merits. It will be up to a jury to decide whether Comcast knowingly or recklessly violated Oregon law.
Still, it's great progress on the case. Of course, it raises the stakes substantially, so I imagine this means that Comcast will continue the long fight in this case that was first filed in 2004. For the present, Tim Quenelle and I are simply pushing ahead on case preparation and looking forward to our day in court.

While not every religious service becomes a religious experience, the annual Jazz Fest Shabbat at Touro Synagogue comes close to firing on all cylinders. The combination of jazz, blues and funk set against a traditional Friday night worship service sung in Hebrew and English makes for an unusual event and one that might not easily be appreciated by the non-Jewish crowd.
But this is Jazz Fest Shabbat, a concept invented by the late Cantor Steven Dubov 23 years ago as a way of expressing love of music with love of worship during the opening weekend of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
Over the years a succession of cantors have carried on in Dubov's stead, leading the worship services with Rabbi David Goldstein, then Rabbi Andrew Busch and, since 2009, Rabbi Alexis Berk. Most recently, Cantor Billy Tiep was replaced by Cantor Joshua Kaufman and then by Cantor Jamie Marx. It is the cantor who coordinates the affair, which involves a full adult choir, musicians and special guest performers. Occasionally, the cantor will arrange a special rendition of a liturgical work for the benefit of the attendees.
This year is was the Joe Krown Trio with organist Joe Krown playing a Hammond organ complete with a leslie. Krown's other collaborators were singer and guitarist Walter "Wolfman" Washington and drummer Russell Batiste, Jr.
While not as well known as some of the previous headliners like Kermit Ruffins, Irma Thomas, Marcia Ball, Dr. Michael White and Allen Toussaint, Krown brought his A-game with him, letting his adept keyboard work highlight and lead the vocals and guitar play emanating from Washington. Batiste's peripatetic drumming kept the beat moving along all night. The three focused their energies into a sound that was loose, but ordered.
The night began with a traditional marching band from Sophie Wright Charter School playing selections from near the pulpit.
When things kicked off, they did so with the blasts of a shofar played by David Bernstein. The religious service started off with traditional liturgy accompanied to anything but traditional music, some arranged by Marx and others written by Kurt Weill, Debbie Friedman and Craig Taubman.
Jews and gentiles alike were moving and swaying to the beat of "Adon Olam/When the Saints Go Marching In" when the night officially ended.
The Jazz Fest Shabbat has become so well attended in several years in the past that regular worshipers were denied entrance to their own synagogue on the Friday night event. Attendees have been urged in more recent years to become patrons, paying for reserved seats, private entertainment and a catered meal prior to the public performance.

Sherman's Way Showtimes and Tickets

Release Date: 2009-03-06 (NY)
Genre: Comedy,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 37min
"Sherman's Way" starts with two strangers forced into a road trip of convenience only to veer off the path into a quirky exploration of friendship, fatherhood and the universal task of finding one's place in the world - a world in which one wrong turn can change your destination. The discord begins when Sherman, a young, uptight Ivy-Leaguer, finds himself stranded on the West Coast with an eccentric stranger and washed-up, middle-aged former athlete Palmer in an attempt to make it down to Beverly Hills in time for a career-making internship at a prestigious law firm. The two couldn't be more incompatible. Palmer is a reckless charmer with a zest for life; Sherman is an arrogant snob with a sense of entitlement. Palmer is content reliving his past; Sherman is focused solely on his future. Despite their differences, their 'friendship' starts to change when a romance starts budding between Addy and Sherman as he discovers what he's made of and what life is really all about.

We've reached the midpoint of the 40th Seattle International Film Festival but there are still hundreds of films to light up the nine festival screens in the next 12 days. Not sure you want to sift through the 300 page catalog to make your choices for the week? I've got you covered! Here are six splendid reason to come into the dark during SIFF.
A Street in Palermo (Via Castellana Bandiera)
In two opposing cars on a narrow street, two stubborn women engage in a symbolic fight to the death, determined not to move the aside to let the other pass, in this delightfully theatrical powder keg of a film.
For Those in Peril
An atmospheric and dreamlike story of survivor's guilt gone unchecked. Aaron, the sole survivor of a deadly wreck, is plagued by hazy recollections of the event and by his village's cultural superstition and seafaring folklore.
In Order of Disappearance (Kraftidioten)
Ther hasn't been a darkyly comic and enjoyable thriller with this much blood spilled in a frigid landscape since the Coen Brothers' Fargo. Stellan Skarsgard plays a snowplow driver who will stop at nothing to bring his son's killers to justice.
Mood Indigo (L'écume des jours)
Michel Gondry's surreal visual feast is the wildly imaginative tale of Colin, a posh Parisian bachelor who invents gadgets that delight his friends. But love eludes him until he meets Chloe (Audrey Tautou), whose strange medical condition—a flower grows inside her lungs—adds a bittersweet frisson to their true romance.
The Signal
Gorgeous visuals and mind-bending sci-fi anchor an enigmatic mood as a group of college students head into the desert in search of a powerful, mysterious computer hacker.
The Trip to Italy
The sequel to 2010's largely improvised The Trip finds buddies Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon on a driving tour through the Italian countryside, musing on life while indulging in scenic and gastronomic delights. (Capsule descriptions courtesy of SIFF)

College Hockey:Richmond Leaves Michigan for OHL
LONDON, Ont. — In the latest of the growing list of college hockey defections to major junior, Michigan sophomore-to-be Danny Richmond, the 31st overally selection in last June's NHL Draft, has left the Wolverines and will play for the OHL's London Knights this fall.
(List of Player and Coaching Moves)
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound defenseman was named to the CCHA All-Rookie team last season, and was invited to this year's selection camp for the U.S. junior national team.
Richmond, from Buffalo Grove, Ill., was a 15th round selection by London in the 2002 OHL Draft. The Knights never figured to land him. He was second on the Wolverines among defenseman in scoring with 22 points, as he played in all 43 of Michigan's games en route to the Frozen Four.
"This is a pretty exciting moment for us," said London general manager Mark Hunter to the London Free Press. "When you get a guy of Danny Richmond's calibre, it's going to be exciting for the fans, No. 1, and for us because he's going to win hockey games."
According to the Free Press, Danny's father, Steve, a scout with the Washington Capitals, is good friends with London coach and longtime Capital Dale Hunter. When Richmond was taken so highly in the NHL Draft, he decided he had a great shot at the pros, and therefore, wanted to play more games than the college season allows, figuring he would develop better.
"He wanted to play a lot more games than just 42," said Mark Hunter to the Free Press. "And I think the relationship Dale had with (Danny's) father, and the fact they liked the way Dale coaches, had a lot to do with it."
Richmond has been compared favorably to future NHL Hall of Famer Chris Chelios, though whether he develops better in major junior than Michigan remains to be seen.

Steal of the Week: Free European Tour for Kids + $1,000 Off
August 29, 2013 | By Brittany Chrusciel | No Comments
Everyone is looking for the deal of the century. So how do you choose the one that's right for you? Check the Lido Deck each week to get the scoop on our favorite deals — then grab the phone and pack your bags.
THE DEAL: Royal Caribbean International is offering a free shore excursion in Europe for children 12 and under, half off of deposits, and $1,000 in savings if you book a seven-night or longer cruise in a balcony or higher cabin, using the line's airfare provider, ChoiceAir. This offer is valid for 2014 sailings.
WHAT WE LOVE: Perks that make it easier to bring the whole family are always a welcome addition to any cruise vacation. Royal Caribbean's latest promotion encourages you to bring the entire troop to explore Europe, with savings incentives and a complimentary shore excursion for children 12 and younger (an uncommon offering). In order to save $1,000 on any of the select sailings for 2014, simply make sure you adhere to three conditions: stay in a balcony cabin or higher (your loved ones will appreciate the extra space); cruise for a week or more (why would you want to do less with an overseas experience?); and book your airfare through Royal's ChoiceAir program (guaranteeing you will arrive for embarkation). Exposure to Europe's Old World history and modern cities will be a family trip that won't be forgotten.
WHAT GIVES US PAUSE: The perks, which are conditional, are not optimal for a low-budget escape, excluding the inside and outside cabin classes. The free excursion, while helpful, is only available to small children (under 13), and is only valid when two adults are booked for the same excursion. This puts single parents at a disadvantage, and young teens requiring a full-price fare. Depending on your family dynamic, this deal may either be extremely helpful, or may have little effect on your plans. Be sure to book your cruise by September 30 and book all excursions by December 15, 2013, to qualify.
HOW TO BOOK IT: For all the nitty-gritty on this deal (including that pesky fine print), click here.
Compare flight prices with our sister site TripAdvisor's meta-search tool.

The Walking Dead (game) Clementine (2/4) by Daryl-Dixions-PanchoWatch
©2012-2016 Daryl-Dixions-Pancho
I cried so hard at that ending
I forgot to tell u the password, its THERPROOM
Sounds cool
Yea :3. and episode 6 of the walking dead game comes out in July.....I CANT WAIT THAT LONG
I wish they'd at least show us a preview or trailer soon
yea, when i found out when it was coming out, i was fangirling and sad at the same time because it comes out in 6 months . I was like "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Y CANT IT COME OUT TOMORROW"
Aw that chapter was beautiful! xD I wish that could've happened in the game And Yeah I think it's either Christa and Omid or strangers xD
I wish that happened in the game too!! chapter 16 left me crying and thinking something happened, Lee shoulod still kick Irene out, god i hate her..awww Logan James Everett BEST.NAME.EVER lol XD chapter 18 is the last chapter!!! i dont want it to end!!!
I know xD I will continue hoping Lee will be alive in the next season of The Walking Dead game xD pretty impossible, but theres no harm trying xD
AAAHHHHHHH NEW CHAPTER ON BOTH OF MY FAV FANFICTIONS!!!! [link] (<----a second chance) [link] (<---a new day) I love both of these stories, i hope they never end. I was hoping that lee was going to be in season two too XD i was thinking that in season two Lee and Carley would starta relationship, but when carley died, i thought lee was going to date christa until i found out omid was her boyfriend -_-.
When we first met Omid and Christa, I didn't like Christa xD I thought she was quite mean to Lee, always telling him off when she shouldn't have because he helped them. The part in episode 3 where Clementine nearly died from the Walker when her and Lee were exploring and she was stuck behind the bars and Christa told him off for it. I was like "you bitch!" xD
I thought Christa was a bitch and wanted her to die XD but when i played it on my ipad it wouldnt let me save omid and i had to save christa -_-. But in episode 4 i started to like her a little bit and in episode 5 i started to liker her because she really cared about clemclem (but she got kenny killed -_-)
So did I... R.I.P Lee
RIP I hope Clementine's ok and back in the next series
Hope you like it!!!!
