" Brand: Walkers / Type: Crisps "
Well, England are out of the World Cup again (will I ever live to see them lift the Jules Rimet trophy?, hopefully as I'm only in my 30's!) but the Walkers world cup crisps promotion is still going strong.
Walkers say on the back of their bags that there are 15 new flavours going "bag to bag" against each other in the Walkers Flavour Cup but only one can be crowned Walkers Flavour Champion. To me it's a great marketing ploy to get you to buy more of their crisps, especially for all those world cup parties people are having as I think its quite a nice gimmick to have crisps from the country that you are watching or supporting. These crisps are still half price in Sainsburys, £1.50 for a pack of 24 and have been for a while so I saw it as a good bargain and bought a bag.
Walkers are running a competition where you can text or apply online for your favourite and you then have the chance of winning prizes and even a cool £10,000 if you post a photo of you online being a "Superfan". You can visit www.walkers.co.uk for more details.
Walkers crisps have been around now for well over 60 years now. A gentleman called Henry Walker took over a butchers shop in the 1880's but after the second World War he saw production go down and had to look for other ways to make money. He began hand-slicing and frying potatoes and sold them as potato crisps, the first flavour being Cheese and Onion.
So England may not win the world cup but I reckon they are in with a great chance of winning the crisps world cup!! English Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding flavour has to be one of the best flavours they have produced for a while. I have to say that they were taste very authentic, it's just like having a roast dinner all by just eating a crisp. There is nothing more english than roast beef and yorkshire pudding and so they are a great flavour to represent this great nation (way better than the 11 men England just chose to represent us!!) They are different than just regular Walkers roast beef flavour which is nice so I assume it's a bit of the Yorkshire pudding taste coming out. As always the Walkers quality is still the same, very high and very nice crunchy crisps with 100% British potatoes and the fact that they are cooked in sunseed oil which, they say, is naturally high in mono-unsaturates and lower in saturates.
I bought the 25g multipack bag and per bag there are 131 calories which represents 7% of your daily amount. Not bad for just a snack but it's not a great idea to eat loads of bags in one day. The crisps also have 8.2g of fat which is 12% of your RDA so again a bit high if you eat lots of packets but one will be just fine.
England could be on to a winner here!!
Now that the World Cup is upon us I thought that I should review some more of the range of crisps that Walkers launched in order to cash it on it, oh sorry, to celebrate it. They have created 15 new flavours that are supposed to represent 15 of the nations that have qualified for the World Cup.
As a sideshow they are also running the World Flavour cup where anyone can vote for their favourite flavour online or via text, with the winner being announced at the end of the tournament.
Typically for Walkers the crisps come in a packet which is far too big for the quantity of crisps they are giving you. You will find that the bag is barely half full. In this environmentally friendly, cost cutting era we're living in, you would think they might resolve this issue!
When you open a bag of English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding you certainly get a hit of meatiness. There is a strong beef aroma along the lines of traditional thick beef gravy. The taste is somewhat similar. It's very beefy; much more so than the Argentinean Steak. I kept munching away through my packet in the hope of reaching the Yorkshire pud. I ended up very disappointed because I never got it. This is not a bad tasting flavour, it's just not what I was expecting. If you like the other beef and steak flavours then it will be acceptable for you. However, this is supposed to represent a traditional Sunday lunch, and on that score it simply doesn't deliver.
As you might well expect from a packet of Walkers crisps they are not all that good for you nutritionally. Each 34.5g pack contains 180 calories and 11.3g fat. So I wouldn't have too many if you're watching your figure. This flavour is however free from MSGs, preservatives and artificial colours. They are not suitable for vegans (dried milk lactose), coeliacs (there must be a wheat based product in the seasoning) or vegetarians (contains poultry broth!).
I have seen them available at wildly varying prices, ranging from 60p in petrol stations to as little as 10p in Home Bargains and B&M Bargains. These crisps are definitely worth 10p of anyone's money.
English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding is one of the more disappointing flavours in the new range because i just didn't get the Yorkshire Pudding. I was hoping for something special from the English flavour but was shamefully let down. Maybe Walkers should have improved the fish & chips flavour that they released last year for the English entry! I would suggest that England have a much better chance of lifting the Jules Rimet trophy than these crisps have of winning the World Flavour Cup! Disappointingly, I won't be voting for England.
What better way to mark the arrival of the World Cup than by reviewing Walkers new range of football-related crisp flavours? Actually, I can think of a number of better ways - but I suppose a series of crisp reviews is a decent enough start. The flavours are supposed to represent the national dishes of twelve selected countries, and in its entirety, the range consists of;
American Cheeseburger, Brazilian Salsa, Argentinian Flame Grilled Steak, Dutch Edam Cheese, English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding, German Bratwurst Sausage, Spanish Chicken Paella, Japanese Triyaki Chicken, South African Sweet Chutney, Italian Spahetti Bolognese, French Garlic Baguette, and Australian BBQ Kangaroo.
In the first of my reviews, I may as well start at home and take a look at the English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding variety.

The crisps contain;
Potatoes, Sunflower Oil (33%), Dried Milk Whey, Dried Skimmed Milk, Salt, Dried Milk Lactose, Hydrolysed Soya Protein, Sugar, Dried Cream, Flavourings, Poultry Broth, and Colour (Paprika Extract).
Price & Availability

All of the multipack (6 x 25g) Walkers World Cup Range can be purchased for £1.27 from Tesco.
Aroma & Taste
- - - - - - - - - -
Upon opening the packet a very beefy smell is released - in fact, the aroma is very similar to that of an Oxo cube. On first bite, the over-riding taste is a general meatiness - yet the beef flavour isn't quite as strong as I was expecting. Surprisingly, I *can* actually taste Yorkshire Pudding - or a least something which is a bit battery and a little sweet in the aftertaste. Overall, it's a pleasant taste, but it's not massively different to Walkers regular beef crisps.

As this is the first of my Walkers World Cup Crisp reviews; the table is a wee bit limited at the moment...
1. English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding
Walkers English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding crisps have been released, along with 14 other new flavours, to celebrate the impending World Cup.
Like many other people, I've been intrigued by these new flavours and I was keen to get my hands on a few packets, to see what all the fuss was about...
***************** Price and availability *******************
My boyfriend bought two packets of Walkers English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding crisps from the corner shop for £1.00. He really enjoyed them and scoffed both packets, so I went out to Asda and bought a multi big of six - for a more reasonable £1.30. However the six packets I bought contained 25g, while my boyfriend bought two larger grab bags which contained 37g each!
The World Cup selection seems to be available in most supermarkets and corner shops.
This particular flavour - English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding - represents England and you will see St George's cross on the white foil packet.

******************* My opinion ********************
If you asked English folk what food represented with their homeland, then a roast beef Sunday dinner would probably be up there, (closely followed by a chippy and a fry up), so it makes sense to develop an English Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding flavour to represent England in the World Cup crisp stakes...
When I opened these crisps a convoluted beef smell hit me. The beef was certainly there, but there was also a doughy smell which reminded me of bread baking in an oven. The taste of these crisps also mirrored the smell - they reminded me of beef on a butty - I could definitely taste a meaty flavouring, but there was also a doughy taste to the crisps that clouded the beef flavour.
The crisps were very crunchy and they were all packed with flavour, but I thought the overall taste was very average, these crisps didn't taste as nice as Walker's beef and onion crisps, but I did manage to eat the whole bag (so they weren't that bad).
Personally I think these crisps are quite reasonably priced, but I probably wouldn't purchase this flavour again, and I wouldn't have bought them in the first place without the World Cup association.
I can't say I blame Walkers for jumping on the World Cup bandwagon in an attempt to make a few extra pennies, but do these crisps cut English mustard? ...I'm not convinced. Three out of five stars.
Like most people it seems the Walkers new flavours have proved incredibly popular. Walkers must be raking it in with thanks to their creative marketing team coming up with this idea in conjunction with the world cup. I managed to pick up three bags (6 in each bag) of the new flavours for £3.00 in Sainsburys and it is always nice to choose something other than Walkers ready salted! The first packet I pulled out was the English Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding which was fine by me as I like nothing more than a roast beef dinner and Yorkshire puddings, but would it offer me the same taste?
*** Packaging ***
The English Roast Beef and Mustard come in the usual shaped Walkers bag but instead of each flavour being colour coded to a colour on this bag there is the St George's flag on the front together with a silver trophy in the corner topped up with vegetables! On the back of the packet is the usual information about nutrition and ingredients but unlike the ordinary Walkers it now gives information about the 15 new flavours and what you need to do.
*** The Crisps ***
Is it me or are the contents of a crisp packet getting smaller and smaller? I opened the packet of crisps and was disappointed to see that my packet was full only by 1/3! Bit of a cheek Walkers!
The smell which first came to my attention actually reminded me of Walkers Steak and Onion crisps which to me is fine but I was expecting more of a strong beef flavour. Now I don't know what I would have expected these crisps to taste as I wouldn't know how you could turn Yorkshire puddings into crisps but the thought of something tasting like your roast dinner is appealing.
So the tasting! I really wanted to be able to taste a roast dinner (I had a clear thought in my head of my mother's dinners!) but what I actually got was more of a beef and mustard flavour which was incredibly mild! By the time I had got to the end of the packet I found the crisps really did not have a distinct flavour at all and certainly didn't have the flavour it is labelled to have. I certainly enjoy beef and mustard crisps but if I wanted this then I would have bought that flavour instead.
On the plus side the crisps tasted incredibly fresh (nothing worse than stale tasting crisps) and I ate the whole packet! They are perfectly edible but certainly not what they claim which is a bit of a let down as I was expecting something completely different.
*** Ingredients ***
The crisps: Potatoes, sunflower oil (33%), English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding Seasoning.
The seasoning: dried milk whey, dried skimmed milk, salt, dried milk lactose, hydrolysed soya protein, sugar, dried cream, flavourings, poultry broth, colour (paprika extract).

They are available in packs of 6 in Sainsburys, Tesco and Asda for around £1 - £1.30. Currently they are on offer at Sainsburys and Asda three packs for £3.00 and at Tesco two packs for £2.00. Also available singularly at varying prices.
*** Overall ***
I found them perfectly pleasant to eat but not what I expected. They provided me with a quick snack which I did like but I won't rush out to buy them again unless my partner specifically asked me too which I doubt as he too was disappointed. I won't be voting for this flavour!
As part of my taste test of Walkers newest limited edition flavoured crisps, I decided to put their English Roast Beef And Yorkshire Pudding variety next under the microscope. Not having been impressed overly with the first two flavours I had tried, I had high hopes for this as it was quintessentially English and it felt like a very patriotic move by Walkers. Surely, I thought, they would not have messed this one up!
How wrong could I be? Opening the packet, I was greeted by a smell not unlike their Roast Beef And Onion flavour which seemed like a good sign! Unfortunately, it all went downhill after that...
These crisps are nowhere near as nice as Roast Beef And Onion and definitely not as strong. Maybe it is because they have attempted to incorporate the taste of Yorkshire Pud, but for me the flavour of beef felt lost somewhat; drowned underneath another taste I could not identify but which I assume is supposed to be the Yorkshire. Given a blind taste test, I might be forgiven for thinking this was a Roast Beef And Onion flavoured packet, all be it one that was ever so slightly past its sell-by date!
I would like to sing the praises of Walkers and declare these as a real winner of a crisp-based snack but I would be lying!
Once again, these are a mediocre affair!!
Released as part of Walkers current World Cup campaign there are 15 new and 'exciting' flavours to try each representing a country competing in the competition. Hugely gimmicky and a marketing executives dream I had up until today avoided everything to do with these until I spotted an offer in Tesco for two 6-pack multipacks for a very reasonable £2.00.
One multipack contained these, the English Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding flavour contained in a patriotic white pack with the St Georges flag emblazoned on the front.
Walkers are generally my favourite and preferred manufacturer of crisps and I have already admitted in other reviews that I eat far too many of these usually delicious snacks so I had high hopes for the flavour that is supposed to represent England. My pack is a multi-pack one so has a lower weight than the individually purchased packets you can buy with this containing just 25 grams as opposed to the usual 34.5 grams. Other than a lesser content the crisps are exactly the same whichever way you choose to purchase your snack and at 6 packets for just a pound I thought these represented excellent value for money.
Opening the packet and taking a sniff my first impressions were quite positive, there is a nice, meaty smell emanating from the packet which reminded me more of chicken than beef if I'm being honest and that was my first thought when I placed the initial crisp onto my tongue. Taste-wise these are odd to be fair, a strange hybrid of chicken and a very weak beef flavour seemed to come through as I munched my way through the packet, where the Yorkshire Pudding was I have absolutely no idea as I couldn't detect any hint of anything that could have been described as Yorkshire Pud at all. Real life Yorkshire Puddings don't have that much of a taste to them anyway so how on earth Walkers could represent them in crisp form is a mystery to me and presumably included only in name rather than taste. Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pud *is* traditionally English, I fully agree and fair play to Walkers for attempting to recreate the taste but realistically the pack does fail to deliver the flavour it claims. That doesn't mean that these crisps aren't nice because they are, the flavour is quite subtle when compared to the other Roast Beef or Chicken flavours and of course have the usual Walkers quality to them but I can't help but feel that these are simply an attempt to jump on the upcoming World Cup bandwagon.
Nutrition wise a multipack packet of these crisps will provide 131 calories, 8.2 grams of fat of which only 0.6 grams are saturates and 12.6 grams of carbohydrates (0.8 grams of which are sugars) so really quite reasonable in terms of saturated fat and sugar content. Sadly the inclusion of "Poultry Broth" in the list of ingredients means that these crisps are unsuitable for vegetarians which is unusual for Walkers seeing as how their Smoky Bacon flavour are.
These have been my introduction to the World Cup range of crisps from Walkers and I have to say that my initial reaction is that of disappointment, my over-riding impression is still that these are gimmicky and a money making endeavour from the manufacturers.
Taste-wise they are pleasant enough and a decent enough addition to the range of flavours already available but they are not memorable or tasty enough for me and wouldn't be a flavour I buy again either in single pack or multipack form.
A mediocre 2/5 from me for all the reasons stated, thanks for reading my review.
Ive been working my way through the new Walkers flavours recently - whatever the cost to my figure LOL and this is the latest flavour I tried. I had heard nothing but great things about this particular flavour and I was dying to try them out for myself to see whether or not they would live up to the hype. I love roast beef and yorkshire puds are the best thing about a sunday dinner in my opinion and I didnt think Walkers would be able to capture that flavour properly if Im honest but to my surprise they actually did! This is one of the few flavours that tastes exactly like it is supposed to and believe me they are yummy!
When I opened these crisps I was very disappointed by the smell because they smell exactly like the Roast Beef & Onion crisps that are already part of the normal Walkers range. They did smell really nice and proper delicious but exactly the same as their normal crisps. I started to hope that these werent the old crisps but with new packaging like they have done in the past. At this point I couldnt smell anything that even resembled yorkshire pudding but since I had heard such great things about this flavour I thought they were going to taste great anyway.
Again these crisps are very meaty and do have quite a strong flavour but I wouldnt say that flavour is overpowering in the slightest because you can still taste the yummy yorkshire pud! Now Im not sure how on earth the managed to make a crisp taste of yorkshire pudding but I am happy to say they really did here and it is absolutely gorgeous. The two flavours work so well together and my brother even thinks you can taste gravy in the crisps which makes this just like a sunday roast in a bag. Even though the meaty scent and taste is quite strong you can still clearly taste the yorkshire pudding so I reckon they got the mixture of the two flavours just right! Its a sunday roast in a bag. I was planning on voting for the American crisps but I think I may have changed my mind about that now Ive tried these.
These are one of the best flavours I have tried from the new range and I cannot recommend them highly enough because they are just so yummy. These are definately the best of british in my opinion.
Again I cant find the exact nutritional values for this particular flavour but as they are crisps I dont think they will be very good for you. Great for a once in a while treat but just dont eat them everyday!

Walkers have released a limited edition range of 15 flavours of crisps which represent different countries in the world cup. The flavours are expected to taste like that countries most popular food.
Well since my beloved Scotland aren't in the World Cup, I have went South of the border to England and this is their offering "English Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pud".
As with all Walkers crisps, these are flavoured potato crisps.
The crisps come in a standard foil bag sealed for freshness. We are made aware that this is Englands offering as there is a St George flag design and a World Cup Trophy on the front of the bag as well as the brand name and flavour.
The back of the bag has your usual details such as ingredients, nutrition, how to contact Walkers and details of the World Cup promotion.
*The Crisps*
The crisps fill up to around half the bag and vary in size and shape. They are quite thin and have a satisfying crunch to them detailing freshness. They are a little golden sort of shade with an evident seasoning coating and have a strong smell which is quite distinctive.
Pretty basic
The crisps are made of potatoes, sunflower oil, and seasoning.
The seasoning is made up of dried milk, whey, dried skimmed milk, salt, dried milk lactose, hydrolysed soya protein, sugar, dried cream, flavourings, poultry broth, paprika extract.
25g bag contains
131 kcal
0.8g sugar
0.6g saturated fat
0.32g salt
*Availability and Price*
These crisps won't hang alot for long. You can pick up single bags in corner shops for around 50p or a multipack of 6 (2 of these and 2 of 2 other flavours) for around £1 from supermarkets and Poundland.
*My Opinion*
Being more of a sweet person, I don't often buy crisps except for Quavers for my son. I was intrigued by the new World Cup range and bought 2 mixed multi packs from Tesco online last week. Hubby has ate 1 pack of each but this is only my second pack.
Now, I love a roast beef dinner, the works (roast beef from the butchers, mashed potatoes, roasties, carrot with mixed swede, yorkie puds and lashings of gravy - hungry..yeah me too but its nearly midnight so calm down). I wasn't convinced that Walkers could adapt crisps to make them taste like my dinner and I was right to feel this way.
Opening the bag, like I always am with Walkers, I was disappointed that the crisps onl fill half the bag! Other than that I got a strong whiff of what resembled mustard and then chicken. Maybe that explains the poultry broth in the ingredients?
Of course smells can be deceiving so I delved in for the ultimate taste test. The crisps feel quite powdery which got me in a bit of a mess (nothing unusual there though). I popped one in my mouth and got a nice crunch from it. To me this always means freshness as soggy crisps are minging!
I certainly could not point out anything that resembled roast beef or yorkie puds which was disappointing. Saying that though, the flavour was certainly not unpleasant and the crisps did taste like chicken with a coating of mustard (just like they smelt too).
I did enjoy them but they just didn't taste how you would imagine them to taste but worth trying!
Calories, fat and price etc pretty standard!
Thanks for reading.
I don't actually eat many crisps these days, after giving them up for Lent I realised that I didn't miss them as much as I thought I would and so have barely touched these greasy little morsels since. However, since Walkers launched their new range to commemorate (ie: make money out of) the World Cup I have tried several of the flavours.
The first one to catch my eye was the English Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding - well, you've got to try your national flavour and the St. George inspired packet is wonderfully designed.
I must admit to being intrigued at how Walkers were going to incorporate the flavour of Yorkshire Pudding into these crisps, this particular food has a very generalised greasy flavour and that is certainly not something I would like my crisps to taste of. I needn't have worried, however, as the smell of Yorkshire Pudding which arises from the bag is about as close as you will get to this traditional Northern fare within these crisps.
The crisps themselves are rather small, much smaller in fact that the majority of Walkers crisps and this leads me to believe that this was done on purpose - I'm glad too as I do find individual crisps are becoming ridiculously large in some packets. These are more manageable and I am able to put a whole crisp easily in my mouth without having to snap it in half first. The texture of the crisps is extremely crunchy and they do feel like a very nice quality snack.
Therefore it's such a shame that the flavour of these crisps is so disappointing. They have a pleasant beef flavour which isn't overly salty, a problem I find with the majority of beef based crisps on the market. It's a rather subtle beef flavour which tastes slightly creamy, a rather bizarre statement but I found these crisps to have a similar creamy taste to Red Sky West Country Bacon crisps.
The Yorkshire Pudding flavouring is non-existent. The crisps have a powdery flavour which does have a slight flavour of batter, yet this certainly does not transform itself into the flavour of a good old Yorkie. It's such a terrible shame; these two flavours are a classic combination, yet in their hurry to cash in on the World Cup Walkers have neglected to develop and marry the flavours together properly and this leaves the eater feeling sorely disappointed.
I also found these English crisps to have a very strange aftertaste. This didn't happen until I'd eaten several but then I became aware of an irritating powdery sensation at the back of my throat. It wasn't unpleasant to begin with but rapidly got on my nerves to the point where I put the crisps away because I simply wanted to rid myself of this very odd aftertaste.
It's very difficult to know whether to recommend these crisps or not. For the sake of 45p I suggest you try a packet as the overall flavour is rather tasty, they are just not what I was expecting and the aftertaste is too bizarre for me.
This is the second flavour I have tried in the new Walkers world cup range. They have a range of themed crisps; one for each country. My local shop has these on offer at 3 packs for £1, so I thought I'd give them a try.
When I opened the bag there was a very strong smell, but just like the traditional beef and onion crisps. It was so strong it put me off a little bit.
The crisps themselves are the usual high-standard you expect from Walkers. Good quality potato without any funny 'eyes' or offputting bits, a good size, and a lovely golden colour.
Flavourwise, these were a bit of a disappointment. Beef came through quite strongly (which is odd as the only meat they contain is chicken broth, which also makes them unsuitable for vegetarians, a shame there) but that was it. Someone must have nicked my yorkies! I was expecting something a little bit different and if this is the best that could be done to represent the flavours of England, well, English cookery must be as poor as its reputation!
Not one I'd recommend unless you are a huge lover of beef and onion crisps, as that is all they are.
Walkers have brought out 15 new flavours for the world cup, with each flavour representing a different country. I love trying out new flavours, so when I spotted the English Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding flavour in my local shop for 40p, I had to grab a bag.
The packaging itself is fairly noticable, with a bit St Georges flag, and a trophy in the corner filled with all kinds of different foods.Thers the full ingredient listing there (sadly, this crisps contain 'Poultry Broth' making them unsuitable for veggies), nutritional information, and information about how to vote for your favourite flavour. Per pack (34.5g) there are 180 calories and 11.3g of fat, so something not to be eaten too often .
Opening the foil packet, there is a slight beefy smell, a little like an oxo cube. And thats about it smell wise. The crisps themselves vary in size, but I'm reassured to see they all look golden and well cooked, and that there are no visible green bits or eyes . Popping one into my mouth with a satisfying crunch, I am greeted by a rich, deep beef flavour, really quite delicious . Initially, I couldn't detect any yorkshire pudding, but as I went through the packet, a srtange slightly greasy doughy taste came through - rather like a slightly undercooked yorkie. The beef is definitely the stronger flavour, with the Yorkshire Pud being more of a side flavour to the main event .
I quite liked these - they were a decently meaty crisp with plenty of flavour . That was, until I found the slight greasy flavour of the Yorkshire Pudding element not really to my taste, and I'm deducting a couple of stars for this. I'd recommed giving these a try just for the novelty, and trying some of the other flavours too, but I can't say these will be a regular in shopping basket .
3 stars
Walkers have brought out 15 new flavours for the world cup, different shops are stocking different flavours and there is a competition for the most popular flavour out of all of them. They are all based on different countries and I've tried quite a few of them now, these English Roast Beef And Yorkshire Pudding ones was the first I tried and they're delish! I've already voted for them in the Flavour Cup and hope they stay on the shelves if they win!
They are just yummy and one of the best flavour crisps Walkers have brought out for a long time. The crisps are quite small and they smell dead meaty when you open the pack, there's loads of flavour powder on them and I was glad about that because Walkers crisps are proper bland since they changed the oil in them.
These have got a wicked flavour, they've got a nice beefy taste and the mad thing is that you can also taste the yorkshire pudding in them. I didn't think you'd be able to taste that over the beef and the 2 flavours go proper nice together. They're not madly salty and have got quite a smooth taste, they are lovely and meaty with a nice after taste.
The yorkshire pudding taste is delish, I don't know how Walkers have got this flavour so spot on but even if you didn't know what the flavour was supposed to be I reckon you'd guess yorkshire pud!
I paid 40p for this bag of crisps from the shop by me and even though these are the best I deffo recommend you try some of the other flavours..... the French Garlic Baguette crisps are LOADS better than they sound and have got a wicked buttery flavour, but I wasn't mad keen on the German Sausage ones for some reason.
Recommended..... and when you've tried them don't forget to go and vote!!!
Walkers have, yet again, produced wacky new crisp flavours and this time it is to mark the world cup. The flavours are themed on different countries of the world and the flavour representing England is English Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding.
The bag is patriotically decked in a red and white flag and contains 34.5g of crisps, these crisps have chicken (but not beef) inside them so are not suitable for veggies. I wish they would stop making bags of crisps so big, I remember when the 25g bag was standard and being someone who tries to watch their calorie intake I prefer the smaller portions, a 34.5g bag of crisps have 180 calories per pack which is too high for a snack in my opinion.
Opening the bag, I could see that the crisps had nice golden colour to them no doubt due to the paprika used to flavour them. Taking a sniff, they smell nice and meaty and my daughter tells me they smell like Bisto gravy!
On to the taste test and these have a nice meaty taste but it is more like a chicken rather than beefy taste, they are stronger than normal chicken flavour crisps and nicer. I also thought I could detect a hint of mustard but there is none in the ingredients. I can not taste the yorkie pud at all but the crisps do have a slightly odd floury texture from the seasoning and leave a nasty oily film on my tongue so maybe that is what they think yorkshire pudding tastes like. The crisps themselves are the bog standard fairly thinly cut Walkers crisps which have a nice crunch but are not my favourites.
The good thing about the wacky crisp flavours is that they get people talking, my daughter says they taste just like gravy (and I tend to use beef bisto to make gravy when I have chicken) and she would give them 3.5 stars. I would give them 2 stars and describe them as interesting rather than tasty. They are the first flavour I have tried from the range of world cup crisps so I am hoping from better from the rest of the flavours.

In line with the danger this poses to information sharing and routine journalism practices, as well the way this would affect security researchers and reporters engaged in verification of sources, the defense has strenuously opposed the indictment and asked for the Court to dismiss it entirely.

Trey Stewart, known as Playboy X, (born 1983, could die in 2008) is a character in the GTA IV era. He runs the African-American crack cocaine ring, the North Holland Hustlers.
X began his criminal career as a crack dealer in Liberty City, working for Dwayne Forge. Forge ran the Hustlers at the time, controlling the majority of crack cocaine in northern Algonquin and Bohan. When Forge went to prison in 1993, X took over the gang (at the age of 10), and brought it to new heights.
Playboy became one of the premier gangsters in the city, and his success earned him a lavish penthouse in Northwood. Almost immediately Playboy began to turn away from the "old school" values taught to him by Forge and began the 21st century as a 'gangsta', favouring bling and increased reputation over loyalty. He also sought to expand his horizons, becoming friends with cocaine empress Elizabeta Torres and monitoring all drug deals in the city. Eventually he was introduced to Niko Bellic through a heroin deal and the two began a business relationship. Playboy X also makes a brief appearance in The Lost and Damned where Johnny Klebitz refuses to meet Playboy during the party.
The major move between the two involved pressuring Yusuf Amir, an entrepreneur from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Amir was under intense pressure to cooperate with the Mafia, who had shut down his construction site under the guise of a union strike in order to extort funds from him. X believed he could maneuver himself into Amir's favour by employing Niko Bellic to dispatch the mob gunmen besieging the site. Niko cleared out the site in the Playboy X mission "Deconstruction for Beginners", but Amir was unresponsive. Instead of rewarding X with shares in lucrative construction contracts, he permanently closed down the construction site in memory of those who had died. However, it is reavealed in The Ballad of Gay Tony mission For the Man Who has Everything that Amir continued construction on the soon-to-be Amir Towers.
Eventually Dwayne Forge is released from prison and tensions rise between him and X almost immediately. Playboy ignores Forge and attempts to distance himself from his former mentor, leaving Forge feeling bitter, heartbroken and betrayed. Eventually Forge retakes his former base of operations, the Triangle Strip Club, from associates of Playboy's, the Trunchez Brothers. Playboy is furious and it is clear that the bad blood between the former partners is going to come to a head.
He is voiced by Postell Pringle.
Mission Appearences
Grand Theft Auto IV
- Deconstruction for Beginners (Boss)
- Photo Shoot (Boss)
- The Holland Play (Semi - Boss)
The Lost and Damned
The Holland Play
- Main article: The Holland Play (Mission)
In a mission entitled "The Holland Play", Playboy X offers Niko $25,000 to kill Dwayne Forge. He alleges that Forge is talking behind his back and attempting to usurp leadership from him, even though PBX claims he offered half of the business to Forge. Subsequently, Niko is also hired by Dwayne to kill PBX after word hits the street that there is a contract out on him.
If Niko chooses to kill Dwayne, Playboy has a change of heart, upset that his mentor was killed. He blames Niko's cold-heartedness for the betrayal and severs all ties from Bellic. Later, his answering machine even claims that "you don't know what you got until it's gone." If Niko sides with Forge, he shoots his way through PBX's penthouse and corners him in an alleyway, easily executing him and returning control of the gang to Forge.
If the player chooses to perform an execution with a pistol on Playboy, Niko plants the barrel of the gun directly on Playboy's throat, and pulls the trigger.
As a token of gratitude, Forge gives Niko the apartment Playboy once inhabited, along with the GTA III outfit which was worn by Claude, which can be found in Niko's wardrobe (only in Playboy X's Apartment).
Playboy X claimed that his goal in life was to make enough money to support young African-American youth in Liberty City. He hoped to become a major philanthropist and community hero.

Not so long ago, it was the Tea Party movement, that gathering of like-minded small-government advocates who wanted lower taxes, fewer regulations, and less intrusion into their private lives, that united millions and for a while, exerted significant influence upon the Republican Party. Establishment politicians and the Mainstream Media attacked and vilified the Tea Party then, very much like they are doing to Donald Trump now.
This week, Donald Trump openly embraced those Tea Party principles, Establishment critics be damned.
And during that speech outlining his economic vision for America, Trump came out swinging, calling it time for a "tax revolution" in this country. The New York billionaire derided the influence of Wall Street upon D.C. politicians who then create tens of thousands of pages of regulations that in the end, protect a chosen few at the top and stifle those trying to work their way up from the bottom.
"These reforms will offer the biggest tax revolution since the Reagan tax reform, which unleashed years of continued economic growth and job creation."
Trump called for a sweeping simplification of the tax code, including eliminating several tax brackets in favor of just three: 12, 25, and 33 percent.
Likely more important to direclty impacting the economy and creating jobs is Trump's cry that the corporate income tax be slashed from 35% to 15%, a move reminiscent of Bill Clinton in the 1990's. Unlike her husband, Hillary Clinton is calling for raising the corporate tax rate even more, despite the fact the United States already has the highest corporate taxes in the world. Many economists have warned that a higher rate will only lead to further jobs in America being shipped overseas.
Hillary calls her trillion-dollar tax increased a way for the rich to "pay their fair share" while Trump calls it a fiscal disaster that will only prolong the tepid economy that has been the economic hallmark of the Obama years where higher taxes have done nothing to less government spending leading to stunning trillion-plus yearly deficits that politicians like Clinton and Obama appear all too-willing to push off to future generations.
No greater difference can be found in their respective versions of taxes than that of the estate/death tax. Hillary Clinton wants to see the federal government take nearly half of the value of inherited assets while Trump wants to see the death tax eliminated altogether. He and many economists have long argued that it is morally wrong for the federal government to tax people in life, and then tax them in death as well.
Hillary Clinton wants to further expand and solidify federal government tax control over the entirety of the U.S. economy.
Donald Trump wants that same economy to be given back to the American people.
It will be up to voters to decide in just over 90 days which vision they prefer.

Christian Bale defended by McG
McG sang the praises of Christian Bale who he's currently directing in the upcoming film Terminator Salvation. Christian had some trouble in the press last week when he was arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother. But McG won't have any of this poppycock and delivered a ham-fisted defense of the actor at Comic-Con… More »

Subject: [htdig] indexing htdig.org
From: Tracey Guzouskas (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Wed Jan 10 2001 - 12:19:45 PST
I am using version htdig-3.1.5. I have already ran rundig once on my site successfully as a test, I am now trying to re-index the site because of updates to the site and other configuration changes made to the htdig.conf file. However when I run htdig, " ./htdig -c /my/conf/file/path/ -i -s -u username:password -v" It starts indexing the htdig.org site. In the htdig.conf file I am pointing to my start.url which contains 20 urls to use, none are htdig.org. Is there anywhere else besides the htdig.conf I can look to see why htdig (rundig is also looking at htdig.org) is indexing htdig.org and not using my start.url file. Any advise is appreciated.
Thank you,

Alyssa Kayfes of Mountain View High School claimed first place in the Dove Mountain Rotary Club's annual Four-Way Test speech contest.
A senior and president of the Rotary-sponsored Interact Club at Mountain View, Kayfes spoke on how the Rotary International statement of values would have applied against the post-World War II creation of the Hollywood Blacklist of those suspected of communist leanings.
The test for actions by Rotarians asks: Is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build goodwill and better friendships, and will it be beneficial to all concerned? Kayfes' win earned her a check for $100 and a chance to compete for a berth in the Rotary District 5500 speech contest. The district embraces more than 50 Rotary clubs across southern Arizona.
Second place and a $50 prize was won by Tim Gomez whose topic was how the Four-Way Test would mesh with the decision by northern states to use force to end slavery in the South during the Civil War. Joy Hall took third place and a $25 prize for her discussion of how the test would have supported the decision by the United States to drop the atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II.

Flag, Motto, Pledge & Coat of Arms
Nigerian Flag
History of The Nigerian Flag
Meaning - Our flag states that, when prosperity abounds, peace thrives, hence the white colour guarded by two green pillars: Peace thrives in prosperous times!
To purchase The Nigerian Flag
Nigeria's Motto
Peace and Unity, Strength and Progress
I pledge to Nigeria my country
To be faithful, loyal and honest
To serve Nigeria with all my strength
To defend her unity
And uphold her honor and glory
So help me God.
Coat of Arms
The black shield represents the good earth of Nigeria.
The silver wavy bands represent the rivers Niger and Benue.
The white horses (the two supporters) represent dignity.
The eagle represents strength.
The wreath is in the colours of the Nigerian flag.
The ground on which the bearings stand is Coctus Spectablis, which is a common wild flower found throughout Nigeria.
(The symbol below is Nigeria's Coat of Arms. )
Coat of Arms
The present Nigerian Coat-of-Arms remains the only recognised symbol of our national unit, of authority and state power. It is governed by the National Flag and Coat-of-ArmsOrdinance number 48 of 1960. Prior to 1975, when the present Nigerian Coat-of-Arms came into existence, each of the constituent political units of the federation of Nigerian had its own coat of arms - the then three abolished by law in 1975 and a single Coat-of-Arms adopted for the country as a whole as the symbol of National Unity.
There are seven permanent features of the Nigerian Coat-of-Arms. These features are:
i. The Shield;
ii. The two wavy bands on the Shield;
iii. The two supporters (Horses) on the two sides of the Shield;
iv. The flora/foliage Coctus Spectabilis (flowers on which the shield rests);
v. The Eagle;
vi. The Wreath on which the Eagle perches; and
vii. The Motto of the Nation below the Shield.
DESCRIPTION: The Shield which is black, represents the good of Nigeria. The Wavy bands, which are silvery on the Shield, represent the rivers Niger and Benue and their conflucence. The ground (flora) on which the Shield stands is Coctus Spectabilis which is a common wild flower found throughout Nigeria. The Wreath is in Nigeria?s National Colours of Green and White. The Eagle stands for strength. ?Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress? is the country?s motto.
DISPLAY/USAGE: Government presence is depicted in offices and other public palces with the placing of the Nigerian Coat-of-Arms side by side with the portrait of the President and Commander-in-Chief. The portrait of the Commander-in-Chief is usually to the right of the Coat-of-Arms, while that of the Principal Officers/Chief Executives of any government establishment e.g. the Governor or Head of Establishment is on the left of the Coat-of-Arms. This position remains valid when the portraits are hung on the wall.
In a situation where the Head of State, Commander-in-Chief, is addressing the nation the Coat-of-Arms is usually encapsulated in the seal of the nation and placed above the Head of State, Commander-in-Chief?s seat. It should be noted that the Commander-in-Chief?s portrait as well as that of the Principal Officer of the Government establishment, in which the Coat-of-Arms is located, should always support the Coat-of-Arms or the Armorial Bearings.
N.B. Improper placement/display or absence of these symbols in offices of Principal Officers/Chief Executives constitutes an offence.

While the idea of a rigid class syllabus can seem unappealing, many yoga teachers benefit from creating regular lesson plans for their classes. Much as in traditional academic environments, having a class syllabus can help you and your students improve, and stay on track with a specific goal in mind. Create a plan that allows your students to build upon what they learn each week, and makes them feel excited about their progress.
Read on for more information on building a successful lesson plan. Our Benefits Plus members can also take advantage of a library of exclusive free downloads, full of expert advice from the editors of Yoga Journal on how to create a great syllabus.
How to Write a Yoga Lesson Plan
1) Consider your audience
When deciding what to cover, first consider your audience. Start by asking yourself a few important questions: What is my end goal for these students? What foundations will they need in order to accomplish this goal? What experience levels or limitations can I expect from my students? Once you have a clear idea of your audience, you will be on your way towards designing a lesson plan that best fits their needs.
2) Brainstorm your syllabus
Your syllabus can be as simple as a sequence of related poses you would like to cover, or as complicated as a multi-week lesson plan. It may be helpful for you to decide on a statement of purpose for your students. If they can walk out of your class with one skill or piece of knowledge, what will it be?
Ideas for a yoga lesson plan:
Design your courses around sequential versions of poses and ideas. Start your series by reviewing the basics, and setting the groundwork for more challenging variations in later classes.
For beginner-level classes, spend a set amount of time covering the basic major asanas and building upon each pose.
Spend each class focusing on one movement or area of the body, such as a class devoted to hip- or chest-openers.
Schedule time for exploring meditation and breathing exercises.
Assign homework (just like in academic classes!) for students to incorporate their practice into their daily life; perhaps in breathing exercises, or practicing their alignment.
Consider leaving time for your students to interact with you, and ask questions.
3) Finalize your plan
Once you have zeroed in on your goals and expectations for your students, take time to organize your ideas and finalize your yoga lesson plan. Decide if your plan will cover one class, or be part of a longer series, and how much detail you need your plan to contain. Writing out your syllabus can also be very useful, and this allows you to share your plans with your students if you so choose. Remember to add a little room for flexibility, as even your best-laid plans cannot account for the many surprises of teaching a room full of budding yogis! As you gain more experience as a teacher, you will learn how to plan the most effective class series based on your students and your teaching style.
Join Benefits Plus now to gain access to invaluable resources to expand your knowledge as a yoga teacher, and as a lifelong student of yoga.

Direct marketing company
Chief executive
Six months of their results would be included in Salmat's 2010-11 numbers. The loss of a call-centre contract with Telstra in March forced Salmat to cut its guidance for full-year earnings from between $92 million and $97 million to between $87 million and $92 million. Its earnings in 2009-10 were $91.2 million.
"The first five months or so after the acquisition were about integrating the Photon companies with our digital businesses such as Lasoo and Dialect," Mr Harrod said.
"Now we are starting to see the benefits of selling the new products and services we gained through the acquisition, such as social media marketing, to our clients. We only started going hard on cross-selling six weeks ago and we're seeing results."
The deal with Photon included an additional payment of $15.7 million if the four companies reached their 2010-11 earnings targets. That potential payment was reduced to $12.9 million in February and Mr Harrod's comments indicated the full amount would be paid.
Three of the four Photon companies have been disbanded and their staff, products and services merged with Salmat's existing digital businesses in new offices in North Sydney. C4 continues to operate as a standalone business, based in Sydney's Surry Hills.
Former Returnity chief executive Paula O'Connell is now heading the data analytics and loyalty program part of the expanded Salmat digital division, while Tony Palmer continues to run C4.
Former Be.Interactive managing director Lara Thom left last month to establish a new company called Conceive Productions, 50 per cent owned by Salmat.
Mr Harrod said Conceive was set up to develop "interactive TV applications" and was close to signing its first customers.
The new-look Salmat digital division and C4 employ 220 people, or about 3 per cent of Salmat's total full-time workforce of 7000.
Last week, Salmat held an investor day for analysts and shareholders, including a tour of the digital division's offices in North Sydney.

It's a matter of symantics, really. What Linksys/Dlink and other SOHO
boxes consider a "DMZ" technically isn't one (unless they have a 3rd
interface, none of the Linksys do). The only way to have a real DMZ
is to have a 3rd interface, or you could use VLAN's on the LAN, but
that's generally not the best way to do it (slip up on your VLAN
configuration and you just connected your LAN and DMZ).
And I'm not speaking in m0n0wall terms, but generic firewall
terminology. Shame on vendors that call inbound NAT forwarding a
"DMZ". </rant>
That's beside the point though, and I'm just moving the thread in a
direction that isn't helping the original question by going off on my
soap box. :)
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You shouldn't need to
forward a bunch of ports.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher refused to back down on Tuesday night for wearing a Peyton Manning Colts jersey at a charity appearance earlier in the day.
Introducing former Colts coach Tony Dungy at an event in Nashville, Fisher removed his shirt and tie to reveal a blue No. 18. "I just wanted to feel like a winner," Fisher joked with the crowd.
The Titans have started the season 0-6.
On his radio show Tuesday night, Fisher offered a tepid apology:
"It was for a very, very worthwhile cause, charity. I was introducing Tony, just having fun with it and I really apologize if I offended anybody, but if you're offended over the nature of that type of thing, then I think you need to rethink things.
"This is a very worthwhile and needy benefit and I was honored to be there. … I'm sorry if I offended anybody but if I had to do it again, I would do it again."

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A Missouri incentive fund for science and technology businesses has been quashed before it could get started, as the state Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that lawmakers had illegally linked its existence to an unrelated economic development proposal.
The high court's unanimous opinion upholds a ruling last year by a Cole County judge, who determined that a contingency clause in the Missouri Science and Innovation Reinvestment Act violated a state constitutional requirement that bills address only a single subject.
The fund had been intended to generate millions of dollars for Missouri's biotechnology industry, by setting aside a portion of the tax revenues generated by existing science and technology firms to finance grants for similar startup businesses.
Although passed by lawmakers during a 2011 special session and signed into a law by Gov. Jay Nixon, the legislation contained a clause making it effective only upon passage of a separate special-session proposal that would have overhauled the state's tax credit programs. That separate bill ultimately failed, yet Nixon directed his administration to implement the new incentive fund anyway sought to include a total of $5 million in the 2012 and 2013 budgets to get it going.
That prompted a lawsuit by the Missouri Roundtable for Life and other anti-abortion activists who feared the fund could have been used to finance human embryonic stem cell research.
The Supreme Court said its decision Tuesday marked the first time that it had considered whether the Legislature could make a bill contingent upon the passage of separation legislation covering a different topic. Its answer was a solid "no."
"The single subject rule would become meaningless if the legislature were able to condition the effectiveness of one bill upon passage of another bill covering a different subject matter," the Supreme Court wrote. "It would create the kind of logrolling the single subject rule is intended to prevent by allowing legislators to tack unpopular subjects on to bills to obtain a majority vote."
In arguments last September before the Supreme Court, the state attorney general's office had agreed that the contingency clause was unconstitutional but had suggested it could be severed from the bill to allow the incentive fund to take effect.
The Supreme Court declined to do so, saying it was doubtful the Legislature would have passed the legislation without the contingency clause. The high court noted that the contingency clause was referenced in the title of the final bill and that previous versions without it had failed to pass.

Journals & Law Reviews | Practice Materials | Judicial Materials | Statutory Materials | Related Websites
This guide is directed to provide the student attorney in Maryland with a starting point for practice-oriented legal research, with special emphasis on the area of appellate advocacy.
With any project, unless you are already knowledgeable about the topic area, it's best to start with secondary sources and then to consult primary sources. Secondary sources such as handbooks, guides, and manuals, as well as sample forms and other practice materials, provide an attorney with rules and guidelines for law practice within certain jurisdictions. Articles and books can provide you with an overview of your topic and help you think of search terms you might not have thought of otherwise. They also cite primary authorities such as statutes and cases. You can use the primary sources cited in secondary sources as a jumping off point to find other primary sources in several ways:
The two main indexes to law journals are LegalTrac and Index to Legal Periodicals & Books (which includes books as well). These indexes include references to many journals not included in Westlaw or Lexis databases and in some cases provide access to the full text electronically. Each of these two online indexes has a parallel print version: the Current Law Index (K33 .C87) and the Index to Legal Periodicals (K9 .N32) are shelved near the print journals on level 1. The Index to Legal Periodicals is particularly helpful if you need to find articles published prior to 1980.
Most print journals are shelved on level 1 of the library, in alphabetical order by journal title. To find out if the library has a particular journal title in electronic format, first check the Library's list of journals online or ask a librarian for help.
One notable exception is BNA's Criminal Law Reporter, which is shelved at KF9615 .C7 on level 2. The Criminal Law Reporter is a weekly newsletter which is useful for keeping up with recent developments in the law, indexed by Post-Conviction Relief and other topics. It can also be useful for coming up with paper topics. Select appellate advocacy-related journals available at the library in print and online are listed under "Databases, Journals" below. Keep in mind that articles on appellate topics often appear in general law reviews, such as the Cornell Law Review.
Lexis and Westlaw also provide combined files of journals focusing on legal practice as well as access to the Legal Resource Index (Legal Resource Index on Lexis, Legal Resource Index on Westlaw).
While most general law reviews publish articles on appellate advocacy, there are a number that focus specifically on the topic covered by your course:
Handbooks, guides, manuals, sample forms and other secondary materials provide an overview of appellate advocacy. The following is a brief list of some secondary practice materials available in the Thurgood Marshall Law Library. For additional practice materials, please check the library's Catalog, as well as Lexis and Westlaw.
For general information on finding and updating case law, see Chapter 7 of the Thurgood Marshall Law Library Guide to Legal Research.
Note: Free databases do not include cases dating back as far as the materials in Lexis and Westlaw databases. It is not recommended that you use free case law databases in your research.
Tip: If you find one good case on Lexis, you may be able to find others by identifying the headnote that best describes the issue of interest to you, then clicking "More Like This Headnote," or by Shepardizing the case to find other cases that have cited it for the issue represented by that headnote.
Tip: If you find one good case on Westlaw, you may be able to find others by identifying the headnote that best describes the issue of interest to you, then clicking "Most Cited Cases" for that headnote. You could also try clicking "KeyCite Notes" to find other cases that have cited your good case for issue represented by that headnote.
Statutes relating to appellate advocacy exist at both the federal and state levels.
Some useful electronic sources of statutory and legislative materials are linked below. For more information on federal legislative research, including federal legislative history, see Chapter 5 and Chapter 10 of the Thurgood Marshall Law Library Guide to Legal Research. For more information on state legislative research, including Maryland legislative history, see Chapter 9 of the Thurgood Marshall Law Library Guide to Legal Research.

Survey aims to settle Ayodhya row
The ground x-ray survey was ordered by a court which is trying to determine whether Hindus or Muslims can claim ownership of the site.
The Babri mosque in Ayodhya was demolished by a Hindu mob in December 1992.
The survey will try to verify Hindu claims that the mosque had been built over an ancient temple.
Makeshift temple
The long dispute over the land has taken thousands of lives in sectarian riots.
Hardline Hindus put up a makeshift temple on the ruins of the disputed mosque, and are now demanding the land be handed over to them so that they can build a large temple.
Muslims dispute this claim and want a judicial verdict on the land.
Among other complex issues the court has to decide is whether Lord Ram was born at the site.
Initially, the court had proposed archaeological excavations, but the hardline Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council) vehemently opposed the idea.
Jurisdiction dispute
The court then ordered a Ground Penetrating Radar Magnetometer survey - essentially an x-ray of the disputed area to find out whether any ancient building exists.
It is now being conducted by a private company under the supervision of a senior official of the Archaeological Survey of India.
An area of 100 by 100 feet is being surveyed.
However, the 10 by 10 foot section in the makeshift temple where idols of Lord Ram are kept will not be touched.
The survey team is to submit its report to the court before 25 January.
However, Vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders dispute the court's jurisdiction and want the land to be handed over to them.
They say it is an issue of faith beyond the court's powers.
But all the political parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party of Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, have rejected their demands, saying the issue should be decided by the judicial process.

People Want To Tweet And Check Their Facebook Almost As Much As They Want To Eat And Have Sex
A new study conducted by the University of Chicago reveals that texting and checking Facebook and Twitter ranks just below the urge to eat and have sex. That is definitely a good reason to turn off those cellular devices during dinner dates! Seems like our struggle to appease our appetite for social media could force us to update our status while doing the do.
The 250 subjects, ages 18-25, were given Blackberries with the Facebook app already installed. Researchers occasionally messaged them to see if they were feeling the urge to check social media: they found that most of the time, people could hardly resist the sweet temptation of a "wall update" or new message. The tension we experience when compelled to check Facebook or Twitter and the instant easy fix we receive when the page loads is quite similar to other addictions.
Smokers and drinkers were even more tempted by social media than their bad habits. The fact that it is such a quick and easy "fix" makes the Facebook addiction quite a pervasive one compared to other bad habits that may have more detrimental effects. Smoking may come with the risk of cancer and you can lose your liver to drinking, but Facebook seems to have no obvious ramifications.
That by no means makes it an addiction to be taken lightly, especially if a need for interaction via social media makes people less social in the "real" world. Who knows, maybe there will soon be Facebook or Twitter rehabs popping up around your neighborhood. [SFGate.com]

Top PSU recruit Breneman suffers torn ACL
The impressive recruiting class that Penn State football coach Bill O'Brien is assembling suffered a setback Friday.
An MRI revealed that tight end Adam Breneman, the top player in the Nittany Lions' Class of 2013, tore the ACL in his right knee. Breneman will have surgery and miss his senior season at Cedar Cliff High School in Camp Hill.
"While he is disappointed that he will be unable to play football his senior season, he is very optimistic about his future at Penn State and is totally committed to making a full recovery in time for the 2013 season," said Breneman's father, Brian, in a statement.
Widely considered the top tight end recruit in the country, Breneman hurt his knee Thursday during a seven-on-seven passing camp. The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder caught 72 passes for 1,120 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. He gave a verbal commitment in March, picking the Nittany Lions over Ohio State and Notre Dame.
The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News reported Breneman plans to enroll early, but he said he still needs to consult advisors at his high school and Penn State. He plans to have PSU team doctor Wayne Sebastianelli perform the surgery.
Breneman headlines a recruiting class that includes Virginia quarterback Christian Hackenberg and New Jersey defensive tackle Greg Webb. Rivals.com ranks Breneman, Hackenberg and Webb four-star recruits.

So just how broker Morgan Stanley has scored about $470 million worth of trades since late 2010 is a hot talking point.
There's unlikely to be just one reason, and a senior source at Morgan Stanley said there was much more to the story that would emerge later. But for the moment, the main theory is that at least part of the relationship stems from the Perth private client office, which means that the lucky adviser in question may be in line for at least 50 per cent of the firm's total fee.
Morgan Stanley executed this week's raid for 9.9 per cent of
Like everything to do with Rinehart, the reason the iron-ore magnate has appointed the broker is shrouded in secrecy. Morgan Stanley repeatedly declined to comment on its relationship with Rinehart or confirm any details for this story.
After all, this is the woman who is so keen on privacy she is reported to have a fingerprint-recognition security system at the Hancock Prospecting headquarters, where the reception area is rumoured to be bullet-proof.
For many, the best guess to link Rinehart and the US bank is Perth's well-known private client broker Andrew Frazer. And Frazer does boast an impressive client list. Around the West Australian, he's known as the man who Andrew Forrest stepped in to help when things got tough. Frazer is the son-in-law of WA governor Malcolm McClosker. He is regarded as a talented broker – some say he is one of Morgan Stanley's biggest commission writers worldwide. But Perth sources say Frazer has privately denied bringing in Rinehart's business.
Not that everyone believes him. After all, the first thing any good adviser should deliver is absolute discretion.
But more persuasive than Frazer's denials is a different theory. Some point to another Perth private client broker – the relatively low-profile John Pickering.
Pickering is said to have forged the relationship with Hancock Prospecting back in his days at Goldman Sachs JBWere, where he wrote options over their portfolio.
Unlike many, his advisory relationship with the group has survived over the years. Rather than a direct relationship with Rinehart, it's suggested that Pickering's primary relationship is with Jay Newby, who oversees the Hancock Prospecting investment portfolio. Neither Pickering nor Hancock Prospecting responded to The Australian Financial Review.
Obviously, the relationship alone doesn't seal the deal – rivals noted yesterday that Morgan Stanley had done a pretty good job to secure the 9.9 per cent of Fairfax the broker was seeking on Rinehart's behalf.
When the email was blasted to Morgan Stanley clients just before 5pm on Tuesday afternoon, it looked like a tough slog to fill the order.
But then hedge funds stepped in and by the end of yesterday afternoon, the market was awaiting a substantial shareholder notice confirming that Rinehart's interest in Fairfax had been increased to 14.8 per cent.

Mike Hussey has appealed to selectors to stick with the status quo for the upcoming Ashes series and dismissed any speculation of disunity in the Australian camp.
There is plenty of conjecture surrounding the make-up of the Australian team to face England starting in Brisbane later this month, with Hussey and fellow veteran Marcus North squarely in the spotlight.
With some calling for an injection of youth into a struggling team currently sitting fifth in the ICC Test rankings, Hussey has implored selectors to give the veterans another chance.
"I'm hoping that we have a very settled team," the 35-year-old told a press conference in Sydney on Thursday.
"I think that over the course of history, it shows that teams can perform consistently well with a nicely balanced, settled team.
"It's up to the selectors to find that balance and that's something the selectors have done really well in the past, they've shown a lot of faith in the players they believe are the best players in the country.
"I'm hoping that continues into the future."
Hussey found some overdue form with 71 not out in Wednesday night's stunning one-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in Melbourne, when the tourists rallied from 8-107 to chase down Australia's 239.
The Aussies will try to keep the three-game series alive at the SCG on Friday, but there are reports of a split within the camp leading into the Ashes clash.
Some senior members of the side are reportedly unwilling to back Michael Clarke as Ricky Ponting's natural successor in Test cricket.
They supposedly stem from comments the blond New South Welshman made about Hussey and Doug Bollinger's involvement in the Champions League prior to the first Test against India.
But Hussey totally dismissed the talk and said he has a "very good relationship" with the man known as Pup.
"All I can say is our team is really tight," he said.
"I thought Michael tried absolutely everything last night to get those wickets and I thought his changes were really good.
"Unfortunately it just didn't go our way.
"As for team spirit, the team's obviously very disappointed about last night's loss and not being able to get a win for quite a period of time.
"But it's important time that we really stick together and keep backing each other and our plans and our processes."
Hussey did describe some of Clarke's field positions at the MCG as "pretty zany" as the Australians desperately tried to break the 132-run stand between Angelo Mathews and Lasith Malinga.
But he was adamant Clarke had excellent leadership qualities and a "very good cricket brain".
"There's no problem whatsoever. I have a very good relationship with Michael Clarke," he said.
"We talk about cricket every time we're in the dressing room, I have no issue whatsoever.
"So I'm not exactly sure where any of these so-called issues are coming from."
Ponting will regain the one-day captaincy reins from Clarke at the SCG on Friday, having missed the opening game to attend a funeral.
