A new league lias been formed
which promises to put a crimp in
that bunch of prominent and vo
ciferous Ohioans who earn their
daily bread and pay their talking
expenses by inaugurating consti
tutional amendments and invok
ing referendums. It is known
as the Constitutional Stability
League, and its avowed purpose
is to preserve at least the skeleton
of the basic law of the State from
the ravening wolves of reform.
This new organization, whose
iniiiiu is uii, ioni, give us a
rest," is only a few weeks old,
but already it has caused a
squeaking and gibbering in the
tree tops where the reformer
lives, moves and has his being.
Already some of our best known
and most agile reformers see their
annual meal ticket vanishing, and
there is much woe in their ranks.
The Constitutional Stability
League proposes to show its in
born hatred of constitutional
amendments by submitting one
itself. lint this amendment is in
tended to be the hair of the dog
to cure the bite, as it will provide
that no constitutional (iiestion
shall be submitted to the voters
oftener than once in six years.
Preposterous, say the reformers.
Why, that practically amounts to
confiscation of our jobs.
The four men hardest hit by the
prospect of limiting the submis
sion of questions to once in six
years, are the Hon. Wayne B.
Wheeler, erstwhile of Cleveland,
who letl the losing battle against
the Demon Rum in the memora
ble campaign of A. D. W4; the
almost equally Hon. "Jim" White
of Barnesville, who went down to
defeat with the lion. Wayne B.,
before the redoubtable John Bar
leycorn ; the I Ion. IJ. I lauser, gen
eral factotum of the Woman's
State Suffrage League, and last,
but by no means, far from it,
least, our own Kev. Herbert Bige
low, the foster father and wet
nurse of the infant twins, Initia
tive and Referendum.
Hut of these victims the Rev.
Herbert is hardest hit. In fact
he is hit simultaneously in two
separate and distinct places, for
our Herbert has two perfectly
trained and hand-broke hobbies.
The one he is joggling on his
knee and asking the public to ad
mire just at this time is the I.
and R., but his favorite, the apple
of his eye, is the Single Tax
amendment. The 'Rev. Herbert
has pledged his word to his fel
low' followers of Henry George
-that this amendment would be
submitted in Ohio every year until
passed. It is a doggoned shame
for the Constitutional Debility
League to make Herbert break
his word to his New York friends.
It wouldn't be so bad for him to
deceive his Cincinnati constitu
ents, but those dealt Noo York
ers I Horrors!
The Hon. Wayne B. and his pal,
the Hon. Jim White, are con
vinced that the conspiracy is di
rected solely against their pet, the
Dry amendment; the Hon. E.
Mauser knows it is a blow aimed
at equal suffrage and the Rev.
Herbert will make an affidavit
that it was conceived and born
for the purpose of swatting his
cherished ambition, the Single
If the Rev. Herbert and his fel
low reformers only knew it, they
are the real enemies of the ini
tiative and referendum. They
have dragged it before the people
until familiarity has bred con
tempt, and unless something is
done soon the public will rise
in its wrath and eliminate it from
the constitution. Then these re
formers would be in a heltiva fix.
Lebanon, Illinois, joined the
ranks of cities made famous by
gross miscarriage of justice when
Marshal John II. Wolfe arrested
himself and had himself fined for
being drunk in the street. The
case was decided on unsupported
circumstantial evidence. The Mar
shal drank five bottles of beer in
St. Louis and woke up the next
morning in his home with a slight
furry feeling on the inside of his
brain-pan and a blank space in
the section of his cerebral cortex
where the night before should
have been registered. On this
evidence, which, he had to admit,
was scant, he arrested himself
and forced himself to confess to
the Judge that he had been drunk.
Drunk? On live bottles of beer?
A Munich baby's breakfast tipple!
Impossible! Marshal Wolfe may
have been lit, mellow, in his cups,
tight, half seas over, or squiffy;
he may have had a jag, an edge,
or a bun, but he could not have
have been drunk.
Only a poor aim saved the Cu
nard liner Orduna from the fate
of the Lusitania. The story told
on her arrival at New York is a
pertinent comment upon the
plausible excuses of Count von
Bernstorff and the sincerity of
the promise that Germany was to
show more humanity hereafter in
her warfare upon merchantment.
A torpedo was launched at the
Orduna without warning.. It
missed by some ten yards. Then
the submarine opened fire and
shot at her seven times, hitting
her three times before it aban
doned pursuit. Comment on this
performance is superfluous. It
was a deliberate attempt at mur
der (on the high seas, abhorrent to
every principle for which the
President is contending. Indeed,
it was in effect a defiance of the
demands he has made, a plain
avowal of an intention to continue
a policy of brutal disregard of law
and'humanity. There were Amer
ican citizens upon this ship, too,
and their right to travel on a
peaceful vessel under any flag was
wantonly transgressed by the
German commander. Is it worth
while to argue much longer with
a nation so obviously determined
to flout us? Has not the limit of
patience yet been reached?
The attempt of a convict under
life sentence for murder to kill
Leo Frank at the State Prison
Farm was a development of the
excited state created by blood
thirsty agitators in Georgia. The
mobs that sought to lynch Frank
and were only defeated through
the precautions adopted by the
State authorities also felt at liber
ty tp.take the life of a man in the
hanjls, of the law., Their object
was the same as that of the con
vict who slipped up on his sleeping
victim knife in hand. Possibly
some of them are not above ap
plauding his prowess.
Guards at the State Prison
Farm say that they were not sur
prised at the attempt to kill
Frank, for many prisoners were
hostile to him, and the murderer
Creen was the most demonstra
tive. In the circumstances, they
were guilty of amazing negli
gence. It is not usual in such in
stitutions to permit convicts from
whom violence is to be expected
to keep knives in their possession,
or to leave the. way open for them
to repeat the crime of murder
within the prison walls.
In its last aspect the Frank case
adds immensely to the discredit
that the State of Georgia had al
ready suffered because of it.
Anti-suffragists agree with the
sufl'ra'gists that man is a failure.
Not all of them. Some success
fully remain bachelors.
Prisoner cut Leo Frank's throat
in the Georgia penitentiary and a
prisoner in a Pennsylvania jail
murdered his cellmate and then
killed himself. There should be a
law against carrying concealed
deadly weapons in jail.
It will be noticed that women
constitute a large majority of t he
crowds that congregate to cheer
Harry Thaw. Women dearly love
a murderer.
Matt Glaser's Open Letter
Stirs John Street Uplifters
No Referendumer's Appeal for Peace to Rev. Herbert
S. Bigelow is a Mystery to President Erastus Johnsing
Who is Curious to Learn the Publicity Agent's Motives
"I sec by the papahs that ouh ole
frcn, Matt Glascr, who has made a
reputation for hissclf by hem' person
ally damp, if not Wet clear through,
anil professionally Dry, has appealed to
the Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow to call off
his referendum program and jine him
in puttin' the everlastin' kibosh on per
ennial elections," said President Eras
tus Johnsing of the John Street Im
provement, Uplift, Welfare and General-Do-Your-Neighbor
Good Associa
tion, at its regular weekly meeting Fri
day night.
"Matt has had more varieties of fobs
than most of us, and he is addin' to
his- collection right along. Hardly a
day passes that Matt doesn't add a new
title to his name witli a salary at
tached. Just now he describes hissclf
as the publicity agent of the No Refer
endum League.
"But the very first dash otilen the
box Matt gets in bad. He asks the
Rev. Herbert to cut out his referen
dums. Now, if the Rev. Herbert drop
ped his agitatin' fob a referendum every
mornin befoh breakfast, how would
Honest Matt and his bunch of No
Rcferendumers make a livin'? The
very object of tlteir existence would be
taken away, and there would be nothin'
fob them to fight.
And His Ki'veri'iice?
"And, on the othah hand, if the Rev.
Herbert stopped this refcrenduming,
how would he live?
"You all ain't rcadin' in the papahs
that ouh makers of war materials has
joined any peace at any price move
ment, has you? They knows that so
long as the wall goes on they will be
able to sell their munitions at a big
profit. If the wall should stop their
business would stop.
"It is just the same with Honest
Matt. If the Rev. Herbert should re
fuhin and quit rcferenduming, then
Honest Matt would lose his job, and
the salary, of publicity agent fob the
No Referendumers. Honest Matt is
usually able, to sec a salary, or a piece
of com in any foliin, as far away as any
othah person I knows, but he slipped a
cog in askin' tile Rev. Herbert to agree
to an armistice. It is just the same as
if a workman should ask his employer
to shut down the factory.
"But I doubts if Honest Matt is hon
est in his expressed desire foil peace.
I thinks he just wanted to demonstrate
his ability as a press agent by gcttin'
in the papahs. I thinks he knows the
Rev. Herbert well enough to have a
well-defined hunch that he might just
as well ask the preacher person to stop
breathin', or public speakin', as to stop
referendtuning. One might as well ask
a niggah coke fiend to stop bis favor
ite dope as to ask Mistah Bigelow to
give up his pet hobby. He has the habit
and just naturally cain't quit.
A Duiuphool I'ltty.
"I don't know who wrote the open
letter to the Rev. Herbert that Honest
Matt signed and had published, but it
quotes a whole lot of law that no one
would accuse Honest Matt of knowin'
all by bisself. But it ain't a bad Id
ler, as open letters go. The only fault
to find witli it is that it is a daiuplioot
effort to get something he can't get and
don t want.
DOCK WOltKKKS l. ItlOT.
New York. Police were called out to
disperse rioting dock builders at the new
$:!,()()(),()()() Municipal Dock. The dock
builders are members of rival organiza
tions, the International Dock Builders'
Union and the Municipal Dock Builders'
Union. The International men had
struck because members of the other un
ion had been employed on the new dock.
Nearly a score of the 00 rioters were
injured before the police separated theiu.
-f-f'f'f-f-f4-f--f--f f'f'f - f - f -
"We all hopes that Honest Matt will
succeed bcttah than he wants to and get
the Rev. Herbert sidetracked on his
mad career of promiscuous rcferen
duming. If some one, human or di
vine, doesn't check the Rev. Herbert
pretty soon, he is likely to spring one
of his little hand-trained referendums
on us to decide whether we all shall
have porkchops or ham and aigs fob
breakfast. And, believe me, if the Rev.
Herbert evah takes a dislike to either
one of these staple articles of food, he
is likely to do it. And he will get sign
ers to his petition, too. There are a
whole lot of people in this town wJio
will sign their names to anything ex
cept to a check if they have any money
in the hank. Then they balks.
"It is really pathetic the way Honest
Matt pleads the cause of the down
trodden taxpayers. The awful expense
of elections, such as that on the Green
Line Franchise, fer example, when of
co'se, they is no money fioatin' around
unattached, drives Honest Matt almost,
I say almost, to tears. He just natur
ally cain't repress his emotion when he'
sees the people's money squandered
unless he is invited to help. I think
that, as taxpayers, the John Street Up
lifters should tender a risiu' vote of
thanks to Honest Matt foil his effort
to protect us from the ravcuin' refer
endumers. Some Political History.
"You all haven't fohgotten when
Honest Matt had his Republican
League in, good workin' order. It
met over a saloon on Central avenue.
Fob a long time, until dues were col
lected, there were free drinks in reason
able abundance. But one time Honest
Matt seen a chance to switch the club
to the grape juice bunch, and he intro
duced a resolution at a mcctin' declar
in' that the league was agin the Demon
Rum. The kikes and dagoes and nigh
gahs who couldn't read voted fob the
resolution, not knowin' what it was.
When they learned what they had done',
they,,imt bein .membahs, and Honest
Matt had to elect hissclf a new secre
tary and fohm a new club.
"There ain't no chance of Honest
Matt and the Rev. Herbert evah agree
in' on anything. You have got to hand
it to the Rev. Herbert. He may be
wrong, as he usually is, but he is con
sistent. He has been a referendumer
ever since the referendum was holm.
But you never can tell where to place
Honest Matt. He is tempcrmcntal and
tempestuous, likewise somewhat vari
able. He builds his political principles
on the shiftin' sand, as the Good Book
says, and his foundations are likely to
get washed out ovah night.
Investigation Ordered.
"I thinks we had. bcttah appoint a
committee to investigate this thing and
repoht back to us. I should like to
I know, fob my own personal satisfaction,
anil Ion tile goou ol tin: association,
just what Honest Matt has up his
sleeve this time. I don' say he is hold
in' out anything. But I should like to
know. We needs all the iufohmatiou
we can get if we are goin' to be a powah
fob good in ouh community."
The committee was mined, and the
meeting adjourned to meet at the call
of the president.'

Powder baskets are larger in diameter. The increased surface area keeps the pole from sinking deep into powder.
Standard baskets are smaller in diameter. They are designed to be as small and light as possible, while still being able to limit the amount the pole can sink into the snow.

- Fulfil at least one of the following employment criteria:
- In regular, permanent employment.
- Retired from regular employment - With a minimum age of 50.

Note: All applicants will be subject to a credit reference check by the lender.
Credit is subject to application and status. Warehouse Express Ltd trading as Wex Photographic act as credit broker and not the lender. Barclays Partner Finance act as the lender.
Can I repay early? If so how?
No repayments are scheduled in the initial six-month deferral period. However, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, but a £29.00 early-settlement will be incurred. Such repayments may be made to Barclays Partner Finance by cheque, debit card or standing order. Unfortunately it is not possible to set up a direct debit within the deferral period. Further information on how to make such repayments will be set out in the loan agreement pack provided by Barclays Partner Finance.
What happens if I don't repay within the first six months (deferral period)?
Following the six month deferral period, Barclays Partner Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 19.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Late payment penalties and early repayment charges will apply from this point. Barclays Partner Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six month deferral period is due to elapse. Note: If you chose to spread the cost and pay monthly, interest is charged from the start of the loan, not from the start of the repayment period.
What will I receive from the finance provider (lender)?
Barclays Partner Finance will send a loan agreement pack approximately four weeks after delivery of the goods, confirming that the account has been activated and, from this point, it is possible to make repayments against the loan.

Expected life-time utility and hedging demands in a partially observable economy
This paper analyzes the expected life-time utility and the hedging demands in an exchange only, representative agent general equilibrium under incomplete information. We derive an expression for the investor's expected life-time utility, and analyze his hedging demands for intertemporal changes in the stochastic unobservable growth of the endowment process and the changing quality of information regarding these changes. The hedging demands consist of two components, which could work in opposite directions so that a conservative consumer may end up having positive hedging demands. Our results are qualitatively different from those prevailing under constant growth (cf. [Brennan, M.J., 1998. The role of learning in dynamic portfolio decisions. European Finance Review, 1, 295-306; Ziegler, A., 2003. Incomplete Information and Heterogeneous Beliefs in Continuous-Time Finance. Springer, Berlin, Chapter 2].

When I asked to watch a Christmas film, I thought "yes! Home Alone 2!" I love the scenes in New York. My partner had other ideas. Home Alone 3 is apparently much more festive (they don't mention Christmas), much funnier (I think not) and much shorter than HA1 and HA2 (I'll give him that, it saved me 20 mins of my life).
It wasn't as bad as I'm making out, but you can't make a home alone film without Maculey Culkin - he IS Home Alone.
The kid in this was by a great little actor, he was great throughout, but I felt they tried to make him like Kevin from HA1&2 but called him Alex. The mean brother and sister (a mini Scarlett Johanssen) didn't fit in like Buzz from HA1&2 and they made the Mum look identical to Kevins Mum - why? if it isn't Kevin? ho hum.
The crooks weren't as mean or as thick as HA1&2 and I found it all a bit silly humour, whereas I think its that well done in HA1&2 you see past the daft bits and there are genuinely funny parts in them, this one, not so much.
The story is of Alex, he is home sick with the chicken pox and he sees burglars in other peoples houses through his telescope. Turns out they are looking for a chip which he has by mistake - none of the parent/police believe him so he sets traps for when the burglars come to his house. Cue lots of paint, glue and kid using power tools (!).
The film quality is ok, no amazing special effects, average, predictable story, good acting by the kid, not so great by the grown ups(except the old lady).
Give it a miss, I certainly wouldn't watch it in place of HA1&2.
note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room
The first two Home Alone films were very successful, in large part due to the charm of Macaulay Culkin in the lead role of Kevin McAllister, a young kid tasked with fending off two crafty bandits, Harry and Marv, as they attempt to rob his house. This time around, though, Culkin is nowhere to be found, nor are Daniel Stern or Joe Pesci as the villains, and so this is a very different beast. Whilst nowhere near as bad as the awful fourth film, most of the charm is sadly gone, and this is a pretty trite and shameless cash-in.
The film revolves around Peter Beaupre (Olek Krupa), who leads a band of thieves that have smuggled a microchip through customs by storing it inside a remote control car. However, at the airport, Mrs. Hess (Marian Seldes), who lives near Alex, takes the bag with it in by accident, causing them to come to her neighbourhood in search of the car. She, however, unwittingly gives it to Alex, unaware that this causes the thieves to then target him. With his parents out for the day, he's going to have to defend himself, and does so by building numerous crazy traps and generally fooling the baffoonish baddies.
This is a highly derivative cash-in that lacks the magic of the previous films for sure, but it's not terrible, and certainly not the disaster that was the fourth film. It just is uninspired and not very entertaining, although at least tolerable and not terribly painful to watch. A shame for the kid star who actually himself wasn't that bad in it.
This film was highly unnecessary, and with an entirely new cast, it really suffers. This shouldn't have been made by any means, but it wasn't as bad as I expected.
Home Alone 3 is the third installment of the Home Alone series and I couldn't wait to watch this film. It was originally released on DVD in Novemember 2006 which makes it relatively new. I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed however with the overall quality of the movie. Granted I did have very high expectations from the film but I just didn't think it was as good. This was partly because of the actors such as Alex D. Linz and Olek Krupa who were good but they weren't nearly as good as the actors in the previous series. I did however like the story line and it was very funny at times but as I said, the overall quality of the production was not quite as good.
Home Alone 3 is a movie about a boy named Alex who stays at home because he feels sick. Four terrorists are sent on a mission to attain a microchip that can be used to activate a missile. They manage to get the microchip and end up putting it on a remote control car. However, the baggae gets mixed up and Alex gets this toy car and he eventually relises the situation and attempts to set various traps to keep these terrorists out of his house. I really did like how the film had a different story line to the original but kept the same concept. I did find it exciting to watch also so on that front I would recommend it.
I did very much enjoy some parts of the film however, and I would still recommend this film to any Home Alone fans. Although I will just warn you that I felt it was a dissapointment and an antimclimax when comapred with the previous films. The film is available for even less than £4 however on Amazon so you cannot really go wrong with at least trying it. I did like the soundtrack though and I have spoken to many people who really enjoyed it so it is well worth watching for some home entertainment.
Home Alone 3 is not as good as Home Alone 1 and 2, but it is still a good movie,not great by any means.The worst part is,there is no Macaulay Culkin in the movie.The story is about a group of international thieves who are looking for a micro chip,the micro chip is embedded in a toy car which is with a little boy named Alex.One day Alex spots a thief in his neighborhood and calls the police but by the time police comes the thieves run away,this happens a couple of times and everyone thinks that Alex is making a fool of them,now Alex thinks of catching them on his own by recording their video on a video camera,but he is unsuccessful,Alex knows that the thieves are about to target his home for the micro chip anytime soon,so he makes a plan to tackle them.Its a good Family movie which will surely make you laugh,the direction is good and the small boy has acted well,I will surely recommend you this movie.
The Plot:
The U.S Air Force has a new secret weapon - and he's only eight-years old! From comedy legend John Hughes comes the hilarious,
action-packed hit that's "lots of fun for the entire family"
A band of international crooks has hidden a military computer chip inside a toy car, but an airport mix-up lands it in the hands of
whiz-kid Alex Pruitt who's home alone with the chicken pox in a quiet Chicago suburb. When the criminals zero in on Alex's house with
their high-tech gadgetry, madness and mayhem kick into high gear as the pint-sized hero defends himself against the bumbling bad guys -
armed with an outrageous array of ambushes and booby traps!
My opinion:
I assumed that this was going to be rubbish as the first two were such great films in my opinion & this has none of the original cast,
however, I was pleasantly surprised that this was such a cracker! I would definitely recommend this as a watch for the family, as 1 & 2
would be my recommendations also.
Yet another classic tree house moment and lots of action packed minutes to keep you right on the edge of your seat.
This was my least favourite of the 3 that I have watched & reviewed but is still definitely something that I would recommend watching with the family as it will give everyone a bellyful of laughs.
It was definitely a shame that the original cast were not available but then they were made quite a while apart!
The film running time is 98 minutes & I purchased this disc as part of a family fun pack box set (All 4) for £10.00 from HMV.
This film is nowhere near as good as the other two in the series. It contains no originality and the story is silly.
In the film, Kevin, played by a new actor, has to take on a group of international terrorist. He has to act quickly to save the world. Will he suceed, or will he fail?
The cast is rubbish, they just don't deliver. The jokes just aren't funny and they aren't as good as the original actors.
The picture and sound quality of the DVD is very good. The soundtrack is great.
The film is funny in some parts but the actors don't deliver them and ruin parts of the film. The action is very good but contains nothing new. It is basically Home Alone 1 + 2 with a new setting and cast.
The DVD extras are rubbish with only a couple of pages about the director and cast. They are not worth the extra.
All in all, this film isn't as good as the first in the series but it is still enjoyable. It contains nothing new and the cast don't do a very good job. They don't deliver the laughs but it is still worth a watch for Home Alone fans.
Home alone 3, was a big dissappointment, and one that I didnt enjoy watching. Unfortunately, Maculay caulkin had grown up so they had to have new kid as the main role, and yes he is very cute but im afraid he didnt live up the maculay caulkin, but who would!
The story was also really lame, and i didnt find the robbers particularly funny, the plot seemed poor and nothing like the first two home alones. There was a silly remote control car that featured in the film as it supposdely had a chip that the robbers wanted, highly ridiculous, and this and everything was completely silly and just didnt work.
I laughed occassionally in this film, but if you are after anything like the first two home alones, then dont expect to much from this film. It was really dissappointing, and i'd have to give it only 3 stars.
I think, they should have stopped at the second movie, as this was a very dissappointing film, that lacked imagination and laughter like the other films had.
I first brought this film at Christmas and have only just got around to watching it. Actually when I switched it on and put the disk into my DVD player I thought who the hell is ALEX D.LINZ? Then I thought hold on they have changed the cast around for this film.
Anyway enough of my babbling on. On with the review. Please don't forget to go easy on me as this is the first review I have written in months.
Alex D. Linz.... Alex Pruitt (Little Terror)
Olek Krupa.... Peter Beaupre (Criminal)
Rya Kihlstedt.... Alice Ribbons (Criminal)
Lenny von Dohlen.... Burton Jernigan (Criminal)
David Thornton.... Earl Unger (Criminal)
Haviland Morris.... Karen Pruitt (Accountant)
Kevin Kilner.... Jack Pruitt (Family Man)
Marian Seldes .... Mrs. Hess (Chimney Smoker)
Seth Smith .... Stan Pruitt (Parrot Lover)
Scarlett Johansson .... Molly Pruitt (Homework Cheat)
The names in brackets are my nicknames for them. They best fit the description that I have given them.
What is the film about?
The film is about a little boy who intercepts a top secret electronic device that belongs to a North-Korean terrorist group. They lost the chip (NSB-100 C Series) at the airport after Mrs. Hess picks up the wrong bag. She travels back to Chicago with a remote controlled car. Inside the remote controlled car lied the chip (NSB-100 C Series). She gives it to Alex Pruitt as payment for shoveling her driveway.
When Alex gets home he see's some spots. He has been diagnosed with the chicken-pocks. He has to stay at home for the whole week. Unfortunately for his parents a new family has moved onto the block. They are the ones looking for the chip (NSB-100 C Series). They search 1 house a day. There are only 15 houses on the block.
On the first day they burgle the first house. Alex spots the man in the Murphy's house. He calls 911 and the police come. The police claim that there was no one in the house.
On the second day they burgle the second house. Alex spots the man in Mrs. Hess's house. Alex calls 911 and calls the police out again. The man is still in the house when the police go onto the driveway of Mrs. Hess. They smash down the door and they find nothing again.
I won't tell you people what happened on the second day as it will spoil the ending. The ending is the best bit so you will have to buy it to see what happens next. I will not be responsible for leading you people into a state of silence.
Anyway what do I think about the film? That's a really funny question. I have only watched it once and I thought it was totally hilarious. The actors and actresses gelled really well from the quality of the film. Unfortunately it doesn't come close to the first two films. Home Alone 1 and 2 (Lost in New York)
Anyway thats what i thought of it. Not better than the first two but i think that you can never beat a good old culkin movie.
This film was good but was not as good as Home Alone 1 and 2. Before I saw this film I thought it would be a bit dull with out the leading boy (Kevin) whom we all know and love from the previous two films, I was right. Thought the film you can see that they have tried to bring the Home Alone films back to life by the parents leaving their son, Alex at home and then he has a mini war with the baddies whom have also changed and have gained two more people. The film gets off to a boring start but does get better. In this film Alex is left at home because he has chicken pox and the four baddies are prowling round Alex's neighbourhood looking for their air force computer chip which was hidden in a toy car and given to Alex by mistake. Soon alex finds out what the baddies want and sets up many traps in his home which ruin his house but who cares! In the end you probally can guess what happens to the baddies if you have seen the other Home alone films. Overall this film is not as good as its previous films because no one can take the place of Kevin, Harry and Marv.
Home Alone 3 is an okay family movie, but it's not the same as Home Alone 1 & 2 were. First of all when you bring in a new lead actor in the 3rd film, it's not gonna be the same type of movie, because the kid is different and most importantly the bad guys are different. I mean how dumb do these bad guys have to be when they chase a remote control car and they can't catch up to it. At least in Home Alone 1 & 2 the plans were more believeable and fun to watch. If you are planning on buying this film, please don't as there are alot of films that are better than this.
I had my doubts when I first saw Home Alone 3, first it had been about 5 years since the last home alone had been released, and second it did not have any of the original cast. I thought it would probably be a cheap knock off to make more money.But I found out quickly that I was wrong and that it was the best one yet. The reason I like this is the characters are a lot better. The parents and the rest of the family aren't complete idiots like Kevin's, come on you have to be pretty stupid parents to leave your kid at home on a family vacation. And Kevin just had two bumbling burglars to smite, While Alex has four villains to smack down and they are after more then his VCR. Also his parents are the typical modern day parents who are to busy with there jobs to stay home with him while he has the chicken pox. The story goes like this terrorists have stolen a top-secret microchip, If install on a missile it will be undetectable to any anti-missile defense. The terrorists hide it in a place where no one would think of looking for it, in a kid's RC cars. When a bag mix up at the air-port it winds up in the hands of little Alex Pruitt who happens to be home with the chicken pox. The Crooks have trace the chip to his neighborhood but don't know which house it is in so they begin a frantic search of the neighborhood breaking into house after house in the middle of the day. Alex being about the only one home in the neighborhood during the day catches them but seeing how the villains are so good at being thieves and seeing how they leave everything untouched nobody believes Alex. When Alex finds the chip in the remote control car he knows that's what the crooks are after. Meanwhile the 4 terrorist have track down the chip to his house and already have plans on searching the house. Luckily Alex knows this and why his parents and gone to work he is going to be busy building booby traps that put
Kevin Macallsters traps to shame. Alex has his work cut out for him with 4 bad guys planing on breaking into his house, he is going to have to create 4 times the mayhem, Which means 4 times the laughs for you. This is the best home alone yet, not only is it funnier it also has better characters in it to. I suggest that you at least rent this one. Macaulay Culkin isn't in this one but it is still good though. Myself and my kids enjoyed this last one in this trio.
If it wasn't a Home Alone film it would be okay but, dislike him you may, there is no substitute for McCauly Caulkin's cheeky little face and the avid persistance of Joe Pesci. The kid left alone theme wears a little bit thin but the children like it. Personally, I find there is something endearing about Home Alone 1 and 11 but, sorry, this film just does nothing for me. I doubt I would ever want to watch Home Alone 4 should they ever make one.

I am not clear on the version number I should use in my request. 1.02.07 is the most recent firmware. Should I use 07 (as in "as of 1.02.07, I would like this feature to be added") or 08 (as in "for 1.02.08 I would like this feature added")?
maybe we could have a "graveyard / obsolete" subforum, to move all non-issues, duplicates & resolved issues.... so that the overview of actual issues is easier to view.going even further, possibly, we could have an "incubation" subforum. Then, new threads would be posted only there... and threads with sufficient support can be moved to the main forum. Although, if the graveyard idea works well enough, we might not need this one

Alec Baldwin is blaming "the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy" for the sudden cancelation of his show, Up Late, reports Gothamist.
MSNBC announced yesterday that Up Late would not be returning and that the network was parting ways with Baldwin after the actor used homophobic language, reportedly calling a news photographer a "cocksucking little fag." Though a statement from MSNBC said the decision was a "mutual parting, and we wish Alec all the best," Baldwin is now blaming LGBT advocates, including GLAAD's vice president of communications, Rich Ferraro, for killing his show.
"I dispute half the comment I made ... if I called him 'cocksucking maggot' or a 'cocksucking motherfucker' ... 'faggot' is not the word that came out of my mouth. That I know," Baldwin told Gothamist. "But you've got the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy — Rich Ferraro and Andrew Sullivan — they're out there, they've got you. Rich Ferraro, this is probably one of his greatest triumphs. They killed my show. And I have to take some responsibility for that myself."
Ferraro was quick to respond to Baldwin's comments, saying in a statement, "I consider GLAAD's campaigns to end the Boy Scouts of America's ban on gay scouts, raise national visibility of the violence and inequality facing transgender people, and battling for marriage equality to be among my 'greatest triumphs.' But if a teacher, coach, local radio show host, or parent realizes that anti-LGBT slurs are outdated and unacceptable because of this Baldwin issue, I guess we'll call it a win. Alec Baldwin's team has not been open to turning this incident into an opportunity for public education and that's unfortunate."
Baldwin is well known for his liberal politics, including support for LGBT rights, but he also has a history of using antigay slurs when angry. Last summer, for instance, he called a British reporter a "toxic little queen," among other things, and he also used "queen" in reference to a New York Daily News editor. Regarding the latest incident, he initially claimed he called the photographer "fathead" instead of "fag," and asserted he did not know that "cocksucking" had an antigay connotation. He received condemnation from several organizations and people, including GLAAD, out CNN journalist Anderson Cooper, and gay columnist Andrew Sullivan.

Can i take both at the same time???
Is it poss for me to take dianabol and clenbuterol at the same time??
D-bol isnt suitable for a cycle by itself, and no, clen doesnt count.
You can take both at the same time but I dont know why one would?
I just took dbol and clen together
I did 25mg of dbol for 3 weeks. On the last week I through in the clen. I took the clen for 2 weeks and am now on a break. I will be starting the clen again for another 2 weeks starting in 5 days.
I know this cycle isn't typically recommended but I feel for what I wanted to accomplish that this was the best thing for me. To eloborate, I had done one cycle(my first and only) for 3 months of anadrol, omandren and sustanon. This cycle I took now was just to add some of the muscle I had lost in the 4 months since I ended my first cycle. The 3 weeks of dbol gave me the added 6lbs of muscle I was looking for before I wanted to start cutting up. I was doing a lot of cardio when I was on the dbol as well because my main objective was to shred.
I have only done 2 weeks of clen and when I am done the next 2 weeks, I will update this thread on how it worked for me. So far, my first two weeks on clen were not great. I found my muscles took longer then usual to heal and I experienced some minor cramping.
So far I went from avg. 190 - 192lbs to maxing out at 198lbs and now stabilized 195lbs. I ate a lot on this cycle but did very intensive cardio workouts. The last time I checked my body fat several months ago was @ 17%. This is before I started doing cardio. If I had to guess, I would say now i'm at 15% at best. I am trying to get to 10 - 12%.
Sorry for the long post, just thought I throw my 0.02cents in as a point of reference.
I can't imagine why you would take clen and dbol since they achieve opposite goals.
I was only going to do a cycle of clen for 6 weeks (2 weeks on 2 weeks off.) However I wanted to add a few more pounds before I started cutting up.. Why doesn't this make sense?
Why didnt you use Winny and Clen?
And bro, your first cycle
Not what you would exactly call a beginner cycle.
I hope you had some Nolva or a AI.
Also, with Clen, you'll have receptor downgrade. To combat this, you can take Benadryl, at around 50-100mgs/night before bed (at the beginning of every 3rd week or so, for that week). However, Beta receptors are embedded in the cell's outer phospholipid membrane. The stability of the membrane has a lot to do with the proper function of the receptors. Methylation of the phospholipids is stimulated by the binding of beta agonists to their receptors. Methylated phospholipids are foreign to the body, and when the body recognizes tham as foreign, it breaks them down with phospholipase A2. This changes the structure of the outer membrane which results in desensitizaton of the beta receptors. On the other hand, agents that inhibit phospholipase A2 slow desensitization.
Cationic ampiphylic drugs are known for their ability to inhibit phospholipase A2. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is a cationic ampiphylic drug.
Ergo, Benadryl slows desensitization of Beta receptors (i.e. Upgrades them) by inhibiting phospholipase A2, which is the enzyme that breaks down methylated phospholipids, and this action in turn keeps the phospholipid membrane stable, and thus keeps the receptors functioning properly. This will allow you to use clen for much longer and it'll still have the same effects. Also, since Benadryl is an anti-histamine, and histamines have a direct effect on beta-adrenoreceptors (not just Beta-2s but all of them), using an anti-histamine will have a direct effect on reducing beta-receptor stimulation, and thus upregulating your beta-receptors.
ooopps i meant to say i took anadrol, omnadren and equipose as my first cycle.
And thanks for the info on the clen there .. but can you please say it in english :)

This past week we were sent a copy of Under The Table: A Dorothy Parker Cocktail Guide for review, and we've finally had some time to take a look through it (and whip up a few of the cocktails inside the pages). The book was written by Kevin C. Fitzpatrick, the "founder and president of the Dorothy Parker Society," and the author of another book about Parker. The foreword is by Allen Katz, founder of the distilling company that makes Dorothy Parker American Gin (we'd link but their website appears to be down). We can only assume these two gentlemen know a lot more about old Dot than we ever will, so we probably don't need to comment on that part of the book.
What really interested us was the the glimpse into the cocktail culture of Dorothy's time period. The book contains 75 recipes from the Jazz Age/Speakeasy era, and offers some fascinating insight on everything from Manhattans to bathtub gin. There are also modern takes on some of the cocktails of that age from modern mixers as well. Basically, if you want to have a flapper party, or are just interested in that era of the cocktail, this is the book for you.
Under the Table: A Dorothy Parker Cocktail Guide
From the Publisher:
A bar book for Parker enthusiasts and literary tipplers alike, Under the Table offers a unique take on Parker, the infamous Algonquin Round Table, and the Jazz Age by profiling and celebrating the drinks that she, her bitter friends, and sweetest enemies enjoyed and discussed. Each entry of this delicious compendium offers a fascinating and lively background of a period cocktail, its ingredients, and the characters associated with it.
A review copy of a book called Whiskey: Instant Expert was just mailed to us by the kind folks at Princeton Architectural Press, and it just hit our grubby little hands so we haven't had time to give it a full perusal. We have flipped through the book, however, and we wanted to let you know about it. It will be officially released on October 8, but you can pre-order it on Amazonbefore then.
Written by Whisky Man of the Year (for two years running) John Lamond, the book is aimed at helping you understand, find, purchase, and savor whiskey to its fullest. It offers the spirit's history, discusses distilling, and offers tasting notes on all kinds of whiskeys, including Scotch, American, Irish, Canadian, and other types worldwide.
As we page through the book we really like the info on how to track down great whiskeys (including websites, email addresses and phone numbers for distilleries, as well as good places to look here in the states), we think the tasting notes are right on point, and we love the entries marked "Expert Essential" saying you should go out of your way to pick up a bottle or try it in a bar. With other items including how to buy whiskies at auction, store your bottles effectively, cocktail recipes, and even ideas for societies to join, we think this book is a great gift for yourself or any whiskey-phile on your list.

Looking for the ultimate craft cocktail experience around the US or around the world, but not sure where to start? We just got our hands on Destination: Cocktails, a book by James Teitelbaum, that might just fit the bill. Teitelbaum traveled to dozens of cities around the world and sampled hundreds of cocktails in all kinds of bars, from dives to five-star hotels.
As we page through the book we see multiple examples of finely-crafted cocktails using top notch ingredients, as well as profiles and information on the bars themselves. Just a few pages was enough to make us want to pack up our bindles and travel the open roads from bar to bar, and we would like to thank the folks at Santa Monica Press for supplying us with this fine book.

We picked up The Brewmaster's Table yesterday on a whim (well actually due to a new and pressing urge to be able to speak intelligently about the pairing of beer and food...more on that later), and we were up until 1 AM reading it. This book, written by Brooklyn Brewery's Garrett Oliver, is a treasure trove of information on beer styles, brands, and ways to pair brew with food.
We literally could not put it down until well after our bed time, and it's a must have for anyone interested in beer. The book is a few years old now (it was published in 2005), but even if some of the brands have gone away, the information about styles is still legit, from pale ales to sour beers.

In our experience, scotch whisky has long been the domain of men, with most of the women we know wrinkling their noses and opting for something that's not such a chore for them to drink. That's why it's refreshing to see this book, The Smart Guide to Single Malt Scotch Whisky, appear from author Elizabeth Riley Bell. Not only is she one of the first Americans to take a poke at making single malt scotch accessible, she's also one of the first women (though you probably figured that out by our use of the feminine pronoun).
According to our brothers from another mother at CocktailGoGo, Bell has "...been to over 100 distilleries over 25 summers to put together this compendium of Scotch knowledge." That's a lot of knowledge, and we're excited to check out her book.
Smart Guide To Single Malt Scotch Whisky
It may not come as a shock to you that we like to drink, but you may not know how much the Liquor Snob staff likes to read. We're only asking for books and booze this Christmas, and not in that order. That's why we dig the title of the book we just found - The Perfect Drink for Every Occasion. We like the way it just rolls off the tongue.
This book features 151 cocktail recipes, and claims its cocktails "complement every situation imaginable . . . and then some." We're doing our best to come up with 5 situations that probably aren't included in this book - though we suppose you'll have to buy it to find out if we're right. Here's our list we'd like to drink to, though we imagine we'd be on our own for pairing a cocktail:
At The Perfect Drink for Every Occasion
If you're looking for the perfect gift for the cocktail nerd on your list, you could definitely do worse than a book on bitters. An ingredient in many cocktails - and some say a requirement for most - bitters is finally getting its time in the limelight. With the resurgence of cocktail culture over the past few years there's definitely been an uptick in interest, but we haven't seen such an in-depth treatise.
Gone are the days when a lonely bottle of Angostura bitters held court behind the bar. A cocktail renaissance has swept across the country, inspiring in bartenders and their thirsty patrons a new fascination with the ingredients, techniques, and traditions that make the American cocktail so special. And few ingredients have as rich a history or serve as fundamental a role in our beverage heritage as bitters.
At Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All
Hunter S. Thompson. Puerto Rico. Johnny Depp in underpants. Copious amounts of mini bottles. A mermaid from Connecticut. Those are the images we can dredge out of our booze-soaked brains about the trailer for upcoming film The Rum Diary. We do recall that the movie looked kickass, and we always love reading a good HST yarn, so we do believe we'll pick up the novel.
"Disgusting as he usually was," Hunter Thompson writes in this, his 1959 novel, "on rare occasions he showed flashes of a stagnant intelligence. But his brain was so rotted with drink and dissolute living that whenever he put it to work it behaved like an old engine that had gone haywire from being dipped in lard."
At The Rum Diary: A Novel
We've received a copy of a book entitled "The Happy Table of Eugene Walter: Southern Spirits in Food and Drink," and being the bourbon enthusiasts we are, we jumped at the chance to review it. If you're not familiar with Mr. Walter, he was, according to his Wikipedia page, a "screenwriter, poet, short-story author, actor, puppeteer, gourmet chef, cryptographer, translator, editor, costume designer and well-known raconteur." Sounds like someone we'd like to get to know.
As we page through the book, we find all kinds of recipes, from cocktails (including more variations on the Julep than you might know existed) to a wide variety of Southern-influenced foods. Not all of the recipes feature liquor, but the ones that don't are deep fried and bacon-inclusive enough to make even Paula Deen blush - and we're pretty sure she wears a Camelbak full of melted butter. From Caribbean Flank Steak to Pensacola Shrimp to Hangover Punch, there's a little something for everyone in the book.
The real appeal for us is the colorful way in which the commentary and recipes are written, making it a real treat compared to your typical recipe book. For example, the "Maryland Julep" recipe calls for you to "gather the mint while the dew is still on it" and gives very explicit instructions on how to handle it next. We think cocktail enthusiasts and gourmands alike will find something for them in in this book.

"I'm not a heavy drinker. I can sometimes go for hours without touching a drop." - Noel Coward
We've always called alcohol our favorite social lubricant, that thing that untrips our tongues and helps free the witty social butterfly that lives inside us. There are some moments, however, where our wit fails us and we wish we had a reference to find out what some other drunk might have said. That's where The Quotable Drunkard book comes in.
Just think - you'll be able to pre-memorize multiple quotes for your next St. Patrick's Day toast, Best Man speech or parole hearing. We've been thumbing through the review copy we were sent and we've found quite a few good quotes, both short quips and longer passages, along with cocktail recipes and other tidbits.

Did that title get your attention? It certainly got ours when we saw it emblazoned across the cover of a book (the full title of which is Absinthe & Flamethrowers: Projects and Ruminations on the Art of Living Dangerously). Most of the books we cover feature cocktail recipes and other quasi-safe ideas but this one we love because it's DANGEROUS. We have a feeling you, our debonair yet thrill-seeking reader, will love it too.
Written for reasonable risk takers and suburbanites who want to add more excitement to their lives. This daring combination of science, history, and DIY projects explains why danger is good for you and details the art of living dangerously.

We haven't read Darcy O'Neil's Fix the Pumps yet, but you can bet it's on our Christmas list now that it's on our radar. We're fans of Mr. O'Neil's Art of Drink website, and this book sounds like a fascinating account of how soda jerks were the ancestors of modern mixologists, and offers solid advice on how to integrate their techniques into your own bar.
Here's a description from Ed Hamilton over at Ministry of Rum:
Fix the Pumps peers into the history of the American soda fountain and the fascinating connections it had with bars and cocktails, including raising the ire of the Temperance League. Many of the unique ingredients and techniques, employed by the pharmacists, are explored in-depth including production of in-house seltzer water, soda acidulents and 450 pre-prohibition soda recipes.

We've made no secret of the fact we enjoy getting a little punchy during the holidays, and we're always going online to look for punch recipes. Cocktail luminary David Wondrich has released a whole book on the subject, and you can get it just in time for Christmas - or your next holiday party. We haven't read it yet, but you can expect we will.
Acclaimed cocktail expert and historian David Wondrich takes readers on a raucous guided tour of all things punch-a tour that starts with some very lonely British sailors and swells to include a cast of lords and ladies, admirals, kings, presidents, poets, pirates, novelists, spies, and other inimitable characters. And of course, authentic recipes appear throughout, with notes for the modern punch-maker.
Our Editor-in-Chief is continuing on his DiY kick, and he just picked up a book called Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers: The Secrets of Ancient Fermentation. Most of the book is just as new agey as you might expect, but there are some hidden gems in there we really want to try to make. From discussions of historical beer ingredients and the history of brewing to recipes for all kinds of meads and beers, this book has plenty of information to feed your inner beer nerd.
One chapter that might be especially interesting to our readers is the one entitled "Psychotropic and Highly Inebriating Beers." In it you will find recipes for ales containing everything from wormwood to rosemary to sage to something called "gruit." One thing we found interesting about this book is that many of the recipes will send you to your grocery store (or more likely health food store) rather than your local brew shop.
On top of everything else, this book posits that beer can actually be healing and sacred, rather than just a social lubricant and sorrow-drowner, as our society often treats it. Kickass!

The twist is that you're actually a very mentally ill serial killer, so your victims look like zombies. Because you hate zombies so much, you feel the urge to kill them in a long, drawn-out manner - hence the mandatory order for limb removal
Such a deep and moving story. Maybe you should submit this to the IGDA or even get Anita Sarkeesian to do a piece on the empowered female main character (tranny Antonia Banderas)
Rated 1 / 5 stars
I'll give a two for the effort but when the game is nigh unplayable because of controls there's a problem. I did manage to beat it and i was surprised to see the game just ended. This could be improved on to make an actually fun game yet as it is right now I would be hard pressed to find nice things to say.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
do not play this
its a waste of time it impossible to win unless u have no life
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
try again

Midfielder Emre Can admits he will have to prove himself all over again to win his place back in the Liverpool side.
The Germany international made only his third appearance of a season affected by an ankle injury in Tuesday's 3-0 EFL Cup win at Derby.
Can's case was not helped by the fact he was one of the latest players to return to pre-season training after his Euro 2016 involvement, allowing other players to nip ahead of him in the pecking order.
He may have been a favourite of manager Jurgen Klopp last term, but he now has to fight his way back past captain Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana – who has been a revelation after being reinvented in a deeper role than he is used to – and £25million summer signing Georginio Wijnaldum.
"They have done it very well," Can said in reference to the first-choice midfield trio. "Adam, Hendo and Gini have played well together and you can see by the results and the good football – I saw it as well myself as I play with them in the team and I was very happy for them."
Can will hope to be involved against Hull City in the Premier League on Saturday but he knows it will be difficult breaking back into the starting line-up.
He added: "Every player has to start from zero and myself as well. Now I am fit, if I get game-time I want to show myself again and also in training. We bought very good players and everyone is nearly fit and we have a strong squad.
"If you saw the last few games, we were very strong and we have to keep it up. If you play with good players, the levels go up – it is normal.
"It's not easy but I have to be patient. I try to train hard and if I get game-time then I try to play well and then we will see what happens."

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (AP) — Federal officials plan to examine a northern Indiana sand dune that collapsed last month, burying a 6-year-old Illinois boy under 11 feet of sand for more than three hours.
Hundreds of people gathered at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on Monday to honor the victims of this weekend's deadly stage collapse. The half-hour memorial service was also attended by Gov. Mitch Daniels, Indiana first lady Cheri Daniels, Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman and several state fair officials.
According to the Indiana Department of Education, cursive is becoming obsolete.
In a memo sent to school leaders in the state, it was recommended that schools stop teaching cursive, and instead use that time to make its students more proficient in keyboard use.

How Were the Bathrooms in the First Class Suites on the Titanic?
The RMS Titanic sank on the night of April 14, 1912, in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. The voyage ended just four days from leaving port in Southampton to New York City. Titanic was the largest passenger liner at the time, with an estimated 2,224 people on board. It struck an iceberg at around 11:40 p.m. and sank about two hours and a half later. The sinking of the Titanic resulted in more than 1,500 deaths, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters in peacetime history.
More than 100 years after the sinking of the Titanic, the tragedy is still widely immortalised in both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Museum displays, special exhibits and lectures, concerts, theatrical performances, reading, graveyard tours are continuously held to commemorate the tragic event. Titanic memorial cruises were held on the tragedy's 100th anniversary with guests dressed in the era's fashion and an elaborate recreation of the first class meals served during the liner's last dinner.
The Titanic reflected its reputation for superior comfort and luxury. It has extensive facilities for its first-class passengers, generally regarded as the finest during that period. While the German and French competitors were extravagantly decorated and adorned heavily, the Titanic put emphasis on comfort and subdued elegance following the style of a British luxury hotel or country manor. The enormous size of the Titanic enabled it to feature rooms that were unusually large by the period's standard. The rooms were equipped with the period's latest technologies for hygiene, comfort, and convenience. Both the staterooms and the public spaces were created in historic styles with attention to accuracy and detail. A wide range of sporting and recreational facilities was amply provided to entertain passengers during the voyage.
A major concern for ship passengers is the bathroom facilities. Not much has changed in the development of bathroom facilities in 100 years. The Titanic has the best bathroom facilities according to the standards of the period. However, those bathroom facilities at the Titanic will pale in comparison with the modern day bathroom facilities.
First class passengers were provided with public lavatories that are comparable to the modern day bathrooms at the airport and the malls. The Titanic's lavatories for first class passengers were equipped with modern plumbing, commodes, flushes, and the common features of luxurious British lavatories. Cabins for first class passengers did not have their own lavatory or bathroom. The first class passengers had to avail of the public lavatories for bathing and other stuff.
The four Parlour Suites, on the other hand, had their own private lavatories. The first class bathroom in the Titanic's parlour suite was specifically designed to reinforce the sense of entitlement. The parlour suites were intended and reserved for the ultra-rich members of the society at that time. The suite opened into a private promenade deck. The suite's bathroom was finished in accordance with the most modern style of the period, complete with showers, bathtubs and double sinks. The best corner shower caddy that money could buy at that time was provided as one of the amenities.
The Titanic has special suites of rooms that consist of bedrooms, sitting room, servant's room, and bathroom, all of which have their own private promenade that is shut off from the rest of the ship and cannot be seen by other passengers.
Second class passengers enjoyed bathroom facilities similar to what the first class passengers enjoyed. Down in the third class, passengers had a very different situation. The entire third class passengers had to share only two bathrooms. This gave rise to the situation where the 706 third class passengers had to use only two bathtubs, which were located in the D Deck way at the back of the ship. The third class passengers who were assigned in the bow of the ship needed to walk a distance, which is about two football fields in length to reach the bathroom. The third class passengers, just like the second-class and first-class passengers, enjoy a public lavatory system.
Many passengers of the Titanic did not have the habit of bathing while on board the ship. Most of them did not bathe during the entire voyage.

Turkey & Broccoli Braid Recipe
Leftovers are a staple in our household but eating the same thing over and over again can get boring. With the holidays here, leftovers are bound to be in abundance. I have started going thru my favorite recipes to find new ways to freshen up those leftovers. Tonight, I too one of my favorite recipes and mixed it up to use up leftover turkey. The best part is no one needs to know it came from leftovers and makes a great dish to pass at your next potluck.
- 2 packages Great Value crescent rolls
- 3 cups left over turkey (chopped into small pieces)
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cup chopped broccoli
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tsp Dill seasoning
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg white, slightly beaten
1. Preheat oven to 375*.
2. Combine chopped turkey, broccoli, onion, mayonnaise, dill, salt and garlic powder in large bow (making sure to mix together very well.)
3. Unroll first package of Great Value crescent rolls being careful not to separate. Arrange the longest side of Great Value crescent rolls along the width of a rectangle baking sheet. Repeat with remaining package of crescent rolls.
4. Using dough/pizza roller, roll over crescent rolls to seal all perforations. On the longest sides, cut dough into strips 1 1/2 inches apart and 3 inches deep. This will leave 6 inches in the center to put the filling.
5. Spread filling into the center.
6. To braid, lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn. Repeat down the length of the dough. I had an extra piece of crescent roll left and created a cute bow for the middle.
7. Brush egg white over the Great Value crescent rolls.
8. Bake for 25-28 minutes.

Hi I'm Gwendolyn and I have been a stay at home mom since 2009. I have been with my husband, James, for 10 years and we are proud parents of Jayme (8) and Nicholas (13). We are also parents to 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 hamsters, and a snake. My father-in-law lives with us so it is always non-stop at our house. I had the honor of becoming a step-parent when I got married and have a great relationship with my step-son. I always used coupons and shopped for bargains but was forced to step up my game when my husband was disabled in 2005. I get an incredible rush from saving money and finding great deals. My life is a constant journey and I look forward to sharing it with you all.
