Hi: 7° Lo:5°
By Laura Payne Monday 05 November 2012 Updated: 05/11 11:08
THE under threat hight street chain Comet will remain open despite the company being in administration.
The store at Sears Retail Park is one of 236 stores nationwide which has been taken over by administrators Deloitte.
They have temporarily suspended the use of gift cards while they assess the situation, but Deloitte said all stores will remain open and all 6,600 staff will be paid.
The collapse of Comet is one of the biggest high street casualties since the demise of Woolworths in 2008 and follows on from the loss of JJB Sports last month.
Neville Kahn, joint administrator at Deloitte, said: "Our immediate priorities are to stabilise the business, fully assess its financial position, and begin an urgent process to seek a suitable buyer which would also preserve jobs.
"In the meantime, all stores will continue to trade and all employees will continue to be paid.
"We appreciate the co-operation and support from the management, staff, customers, landlords and suppliers at what is clearly a very difficult time."
Deloitte said Comet had been hit by weak high street trading conditions, competition from online rivals and being unable to secure the trade credit insurance needed to safeguard suppliers.
"The inability to obtain supplier credit for the peak Christmas trading period means that the company had no realistic prospect of raising further capital to build up sufficient stock to allow it to continue trading," added Mr Kahn.

Rubber dropped for a second day, heading for the worst weekly loss since June, as the Japanese currency strengthened to near a one-week high against the dollar, reducing the appeal of the yen-based contracts.
Futures for February delivery on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange fell as much as 2.3 percent to 271.6 yen a kilogram ($2,721 a metric ton), the lowest since Sept. 2, and was at 272.8 yen at 10:42 a.m. local time. Prices lost 3.5 percent this week, the biggest drop since the five days through June 14.
The yen appreciated to 99.02 a dollar yesterday, the strongest since Sept. 6, ahead of a decision likely on Oct. 1 on tax changes in world's third-largest economy that raised demand for the currency as a haven.
"Futures retreated as they lost support from the currency market," said Kazuhiko Saito, an analyst at broker Fujitomi Co. in Tokyo. "Prospects for the Federal Reserve to taper stimulus also put a drag on the market."
The Fed will decide to cut its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases this month, according to 65 percent of economists surveyed by Bloomberg from Aug. 9-13. The Federal Open Market Committee holds a two-day meeting on Sept. 17-18.
The contract for January delivery in Shanghai fell for a second day, losing 0.3 percent to 20,175 yuan ($3,297) a ton. Thai rubber free-on-board declined 1.7 percent to 84.65 baht ($2.67) a kilogram yesterday, according to the Rubber Research Institute of Thailand.

The young man from Assisi was in the little ramshackle church of St. Damian, when he heard these words directly from the Crucified: "Go Francis, and repair my house, which as you can see, is falling into ruin." He interpreted them to the letter and materially started to rebuild that little chapel. But his readiness in following the words of Jesus [also] repaired many wounded hearts and finally the Church Herself as a spiritual edifice. So it is with Pope Francis who has chosen the name of the Saint from Assisi. He is also beginning with the essential - announcing Jesus - the consolation and tenderness of God for men - especially for the poorest and most suffering.
(Pictured, Pope Francis) Antonio Socci writes: The arrival of Pope Francis to the Chair of Peter on March 13 is, even in his choice of name, the beginning of an evangelical "revolution" which is already stirring the people. (We will see this also in his upcoming trip to Brazil). It is certain that he will change the Vatican as we have come to know it over the centuries: from "a Renaissance court" (as Pope Bergoglio said) it will become the home of the humble, crucified King, who embraces - just like the Bernini colonnades - all of the misery in the world.

Published in Europe
Keywords: Pope Francis, Pope Francesco, Communion and Liberation, Beauty, Monsignor Luigi Giussani, Deacon Keith Fournier
ROME, Italy (Catholic Online) - Antonio Socci is a well known Italian Journalist and writer. He is also a member of the lay ecclesial ecclesial movement named Communion and Liberation. The movement was founded by the extraordinarily gifted, humble and holy priest, Monsignor Luigi Giussani. One of the best descriptions of Communion and Liberation was given by His Holiness, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI on the 25th anniversary of the welcoming of the movement into the Church. The full address can be read here.
Benedict XVI recounted that he had been invited by Blessed John Paul II to preside at the funeral of Monsignor Giussani and it deeply affected him. Benedict said of the founder, "Through him, the Holy Spirit raised in the Church a Movement, yours, that would witness to the beauty of being Christian in an age when the opinion was spreading that Christianity is a difficult and oppressive way to live. Fr Giussani then committed himself to awaken in youth the love for Christ, "Way, Truth and Life", repeating that only he is the way towards the fulfilment of the deepest desires of the human heart, and that Christ does not save us regardless of our humanity, but through it."
"As I was able to recall in his funeral homily, this courageous priest, who grew up in a home poor in bread but rich in music, as he himself liked to say, from the beginning was touched, or rather wounded, by the desire for beauty, though not any sort of beauty. He sought Beauty itself, the infinite Beauty which is found in Christ. In addition, how can I fail to recall the many encounters and contacts of Fr Giussani with my Venerable Predecessor John Paul II? On an anniversary dear to you, the Pope still wants yet again to repeat that the original pedagogical intuition of Communion and Liberation lies in reproposing the Christian event within contemporary culture in a fascinating and harmonious way, perceived as a font of new values and able to orient one's entire existence."
In my own life, members of Communion and Liberation have been among the teachers who have influenced my theological formation. Their emphasis on beauty as a path to fullness of communion with the Lord - as both taught and caught from the immense heart and charism of their founder - is profound, practical, hope-filled and powerfully effective in an age enmeshed in the ugliness of self absorption and nihilism. That is why when I read the following analysis of the pontificate of Francis written by a member of the movement who is a well respected Italian Journalist, I knew I had to bring it to our readers. I am grateful to Rorate Caeli for publishing the English translation I set forth below. They translation by Francesca Romana on their blog was entitled The Mission of Francis in a Church under total siege.
However, the Italian version of the article contains the original title used by the author, Antonio Succi. It is more accurately entitled, The Beautiful Revolution of Pope Francis. The title itself radiates the spirit of Communion and Liberation. It also captures the realistic but hope filled heart of this Pope named Francis. Finally, I believe it places the article in a context which more aptly captures the insights the author intended to communicate. That is one of hope. It can be read in Italian here. I believe this piece is the finest presentation I have read on the vision, mission and plans of the Pope who took the name Francis. That is why I knew I had to present it to our readers around the globe.
The Beautiful Revolution of Pope Francis
Antonio Socci
The Catholic Church is going through a season of epochal changes. Pope Benedict's renunciation of the papacy in February was a historical gesture of enormous significance, which highlighted the great dramas of our time. The arrival of Pope Francis to the Chair of Peter on March 13 is, even in his choice of name, the beginning of an evangelical "revolution" which is already stirring the people. (We will see this also in his upcoming trip to Brazil). It is certain that he will change the Vatican as we have come to know it over the centuries: from "a Renaissance court" (as Pope Bergoglio said) it will become the home of the humble, crucified King, who embraces - just like the Bernini colonnades - all of the misery in the world.
The other day a friend and former student of the Pope, the Argentine writer and journalist Jorge Milia, related some of his telephone conversations with the Pontiff. And he gave us some enlightening news-flashes. First of all, he underlined "the gratitude and tenderness" that Francesco has for his predecessor: "he makes me feel that I have found an old friend." "You cannot imagine the humility and wisdom of this man," Pope Francis told him while speaking of Benedict XVI. "Well then, you must keep him close to you," the writer replied. And the Pope responded: "I wouldn't even think for a second about renouncing the counsel of a such a person - it would be foolish of me to do so."
Then Jorge Milia spoke of the great crowds of people that are flocking to St. Peter's Square, to hear his words and embrace him. Francis said: "They must be able to do this! It is my duty to listen to them, comfort them, pray with them and shake hands with them so that they sense that they are not alone." But Pope Francis added that it was not easy to make this need understood in the Vatican, where they are used to an image of the Pope as an inaccessible entity. "It hasn't been easy Jorge, because here there are many "masters" of the Pope with a much greater length of service." said the Holy Father.
He let it be understood that every change was extremely hard for [people] to digest - starting with the choice of not going to live in the legendary Papal "Apartment". He made this decision because many popes "up there" ended up becoming "prisoners" of their secretaries and he did not want the same thing to happen to him: "I am the one who decides whom to see, not my secretaries." Jorge Milia adds: "He told me that Popes have been isolated for centuries and this is not good. The place of the Pastor is to be with his sheep."
The Pontiff has expressed this thought many times. It might seem just his personal propensity for cordiality, affability, compassion. But it is not only this. It is much more. It is a revolution in the concept of the Papacy. At least that of the last millennium. Certainly, his predecessors already initiated a progressive dismantling of the regal heaviness of the Curia, starting with Paul VI and John Paul II preferred taking to the streets of the world rather than staying in the Vatican. Benedict XVI shot thunderbolts against "careerism, clericalism, worldliness, divisions, ambitions of power." He also called for evangelical poverty and used the atomic bomb against "the filth in the Church."
Now we have Pope Francis who has begun to fulfill (it seems in an overpowering way) all that his predecessor had asked for a thousand times over. But what is being announced is not just the newness of a person (typical of every pontificate) and a strong change in structures but it is a radical mutation in the actual way of being Pope. Francesco is trying to bring back the entire Church to what is essential, to Her apostolic origins, in short to Jesus Christ. As St. Francis did in the XII century.
The young man from Assisi was in the little ramshackle church of St. Damian, when he heard these words directly from the Crucified: "Go Francis, and repair my house, which as you can see, is falling into ruin." He interpreted them to the letter and materially started to rebuild that little chapel. But his readiness in following the words of Jesus [also] repaired many wounded hearts and finally the Church Herself as a spiritual edifice. So it is with Pope Francis who has chosen the name of the Saint from Assisi. He is also beginning with the essential - announcing Jesus - the consolation and tenderness of God for men - especially for the poorest and most suffering.
The other two key words of this pontificate are "mercy" ("God forgives always, forgives everything. It is we who become tired in being forgiven") and "prayer" ( he is always repeating: "Strong prayer is needed, and this humble prayer allows Jesus to work a miracle. Courageous prayer, which struggles to make that miracle reality. Prayer makes miracles happen, but we must believe this!"). It is not that Pope Francis avoids the enormity of the attack that the world is conducting on the Church on all fronts. But what is the nature of this attack? The great persecutions of Christians in all of the Islamic world and tyrannical regimes (such as: China, Vietnam, Cuba and diverse African countries) continue. And this after the collapse of Communism in Europe twenty years ago, when the Church non longer served as a barrier against Marxism, added to anti-Christian hostility which spread from the United Stares of Clinton and Obama to the technocracy of Europe.
It is not just the Christian Faith that is attacked, but the fundamentals of the natural law itself: the family - the union between man and woman, which has been at the base of all civilizations, from the ancient times before Christ, until today, but has now been radically trampled on and emptied [of meaning]. Since the Clinton years (which saw the entrance of China in the WTO) the new "one and only way of thinking" has been proclaimed by the western world along with a total "deregulation" of both economic-financial exchanges and human relations. In the first case - with the bursting of the financial bubble in 2008 - we arrived at the brink of world-wide bankruptcy. In the second case we arrived at a devastating turning point in the history of civilization.
There was even the "conservative" parenthesis of George Bush Jr. who after the September 11, 2001, tended to call upon the Christian religion into a sort of "clash of civilizations" and religions with Islam. But the Church of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, who also knew about the sufferings of Christians under Islam - had to refuse this call, for the reason that it would have been impious to put the seal of Christ on conflicts that had the aim of guaranteeing energy supplies to the West. Also because it would have been the Christian minorities in Islamic countries that would pay the price - as in fact has happened.
Now that the Church is under a perfect siege - from the anti-Christian USA and Europe on one side - and on the other the persecutory regimes in Asia, Africa and Muslim countries, Pope Francis emerges from this historic siege which threatens the very survival of the Church - by means of the only irresistible weapon with which the Church has always triumphed over the course of the centuries when persecuted: the Gospel (or as the Pope would say, "grace"). It is false that the Pope has set aside the teachings of his predecessors on "the non-negotiable values" as the conservative Catholics reproach him for and as the progressive Catholics would like him to do. (His first encyclical "Lumen Fidei" demonstrates this).
Pope Francis simply knows that, in the situation at which we have arrived, it no longer makes any sense for the Church to break out into a cultural battle or in political action to exorcize, through human means, the collapse of a civilization and the "barbarian invasions". The Church knows that only the grace of Christ is indispensible for Her. That is why today the Pope asks for conversion (beginning with the dismantling of the "Renaissance Curia"): incessant prayer which obtains miracles; the marveling at Jesus "who kisses His wounds" in the poor, the sick and the desperate; the announcement and experience of the mercy of God for men. It was in this way that the world was conquered peacefully and reconstructed by Christianity. And it will happen anew.

I received a call from this number by a man calling himself "Michael Phelts" claiming to be a writer from England casting a film to be shot in France of 2015. He told me he knew a director I worked with previously which he must have found from a Google search because the man he claimed to know had no idea who "Michael Phelts" is. He manipulated me into answering questions about my body and personal questions about my life all at a chance to audition with the Italian director of this film. This man was very smart and knows exactly what he is doing because he kept me on the phone for 2.5 hours. He proceeded to get me to interview with him on Skype with the name Iwannalearn1 and told me he did not have a webcam, but that he could see me even though I could not see him. He continued by asking me to show him my stomach, back, and pull up my shorts like a bikini bottom. At this point red flags were going off and I ended the conversation. Whoever this guy is beware - he is very good and knows how to manipulate women. It seems he preys on young actresses. I was smart enough to end the conversation but feel like an idiot for allowing it to go on as long as it did. It was a violation of my privacy and I pray that by posting this no other young women fall for this man's schemes. He is pathetic.

My car has 17000 miles and during an oil change, the dealer service dept. suggested I have a cleaning done for this area (part) for 69.99. Said it prevents future expensive problems.
I got the sense they were looking for service business at my expense that is unnecessary.

these throttle plates cannot be cleaned as they will take off protective coatings that prevent them from sticking.

... before WW2 and survived the bombing there because it was moved back to Zittau. Soviet soldiers then found it & used it to line the cabin of their sauna/bathhouse and when they left it was found by an old man who returned it to the museum. It was then ignored until 1989 and the dissolution of the GDR, when the new director of the museum found all the fragments and pieced them together. The central part was ...
... the 1700s and originally the home of Katrin's grandparents so they have lots of antique furniture and belongings. There are plants everywhere, some framing doorways, and we sat in their large sun lounge filled with light and plants – and cake: we were treated to the most wonderful cake confections - I love the German idea of cake in the afternoon!

Day 210-211: a great weekend at the snow!
... drive was good, it went fast, even though we did take a massive detour again. All these road changes! Geeez! We listened to some great songs along the way. I probably drowned Paul and marc with my singing. We arrived home at about 6:30pm and were shortly afterwards gifted with a visit from David with some money for us. He stayed about an hour and we had some great chats about the universe. It's funny how we always dive straight into these topics whenever we hang out. ...
Day 209: an adventure to Czech
We attempted to leave at 430am but it was a bit of a struggle. In the end we left at 5am and hit the roads to the slopes! Marc assured us that he knew the way. However about half way through he happened to have a few issues with his 3d maps. Apparently Poland replaced Germany. Hmmm that's awkward... We made it to the border at least, and continued through Poland and onto Northern Czech Republic. We reached liberec at about 9am and stopped for a coffee. It was ...

As much as I enjoyed Czech food it was nice to have a break from red meat and dumplings. After dinner we did a little bit more shopping and headed back to the bus. And after a 13 hour bus ride I am back in Copenhagen preparing for my next adventure! Pictures from my camera to come shortly. Next stop: Paris! ...

->"Women who are in this sport, I always tell them not to quit too soon. If they work hard, they will eventually go further than many of the men!"
-->--''Sweet Nancy'', [[http://www.ladysports.com/stories/sweet_nancy.htm LadySports.com]]
It's often that many shows feature a bigger ratio of males to females in their characters, with TheSmurfettePrinciple being pretty widespread. However a lot of the time this can work in favor of the female character. Being the only female in a largely male environment makes her stand out and be distinctive from the rest of the show's male characters. If the writers have written her well and avoided most PositiveDiscrimination, then chances are she will become popular with the viewers. If her popularity rises high enough, she might even become a BreakoutCharacter.
The area in which this is most common is ProfessionalWrestling. It's a rather frequent occurance for a woman to be introduced as someone's manager or valet, usually for a tag team, and end up becoming more popular than the wrestler they're managing. Often if the team splits, the woman will fare much better because she can be integrated into the women's division while the men will often become lost in the shuffle. It also helps that by nature of the beast, a woman with no athletic or mic skills can easily get over with the male-dominated audience if she has enough sex appeal.
Note that this is not simply about a female becoming a Breakout Character. There must be a majority of males compared to females for this to count. The character need not be the only woman on the show either. See also EnsembleDarkhorse and BreakupBreakout.
[[folder: Film ]]
* Out of the three leading actors in the ''Film/HarryPotter'' movies, Creator/EmmaWatson has received the most publicity. While Creator/DanielRadcliffe and RupertGrint have gotten a large amount of roles, it is Emma who has remained in the public eye the most.
** Actresses from franchises in general tend to benefit from this. Along with fame comes endorsements for cosmetics and fashion, as well as tabloid attention.
* Agent Peggy Carter, the love interest and only non-bit female character in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''. After her popularity with fans became clear (due in no small part to her actress, Creator/HayleyAtwell), Marvel Studios tried to include her wherever possible. Joss Whedon wrote a deleted scene for her in ''Film/TheAvengers'', she's the subject of one of the ''Film/MarvelOneShots'', and she has cameos in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', ''Film/TheAvengersAgeOfUltron'', ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', and ''Film/AntMan''. To top it off, she was given her very own television miniseries, ''Series/AgentCarter'', making her the first leading lady of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. She has or will have more appearances across the franchise than Captain America himself.
[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* After the end of ''DrakeAndJosh'', MirandaCosgrove moved on to the lead role in ''{{Series/iCarly}}''. That show was a massive smash hit for {{Nickelodeon}} and propelled her to a level of stardom way beyond what any Nickelodeon actor had ever had before and likely won't see again for a long time...until Music/ArianaGrande came along. She eventually became the highest paid 'minor aged' actress on all of television for the last three seasons of the show.
* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'': Ashley Tisdale and Debby Ryan are the two biggest stars to come out of the franchise. Tisdale continued to make a name for herself in ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' and ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', whereas Ryan got her own show in ''Series/{{Jessie}}''. And, when ''Jessie'' ends, Peyton List may go the same direction.
* ''Series/KickinIt'' is one of Disney XD's biggest hits. It's sole female star, Olivia Holt, eventually got her own show with ''Series/IDidntDoIt.''
* ''XenaWarriorPrincess'' may be one of the biggest examples of this. Xena started off as an arc villain in ''HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys,'' who was slated to reform and then die a heroes death. She proved popular enough [[BreakoutCharacter to warrant her own TV series.]] The show in question ended up becoming a MorePopularSpinoff and on of the highest rated television shows in the 90s.
[[folder: Music ]]
* Gwen Stefani of Music/NoDoubt, though she was TheFaceOfTheBand to begin with. The video for "Don't Speak" shows her taking the spotlight and starring in all the publicity photos, while her three (male) bandmates languish in obscurity.
[[folder: Puppet Shows ]]
* In ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', Miss Piggy, one of the few female Muppets, was initially only a minor character, but her popularity skyrocketed and she is now probably the most famous of them, along with Kermit.
[[folder: Professional Wrestling ]]
* OlderThanTheyThink: [[Characters/WWEDivas The Fabulous Moolah]] was initially a valet for [[Wrestling/BuddyRogers "The Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers]] but eventually branched out on her own and became a pioneer for women's wrestling. She is recognised as the first ever [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-wm.html WWE Women's Champion]] and held it for over twenty years. However, Rogers is still a legend, so she doesn't overshadow him completely.
* Wrestling/{{Sable}} was first Wrestling/TripleH's valet and then Marc Mero's. He was popular in WCW as Johnny B Bad but the WWF fans cared little for Marc Mero and much more for Sable, to the point that this was made into an angle. She was given more attention and storylines and is now recognized as the first true WWE Diva. This also happened to Mero's second valet, Wrestling/{{Jacqueline}}, though she didn't become quite as big a WWF star as Sable.
* Sunny first debuted as the valet for the Bodydonnas. She became much more popular than they did, and was booked as the manager of several different wrestlers ([[Characters/WWETagTeams The Godwinns]], [[Wrestling/RonSimmons Farooq Asad]], even Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors briefly). However she was a few years early for the Wrestling/AttitudeEra and so wasn't able to reach the popularity level that Sable did.
* Wrestling/StacyKeibler. Originally came up in Wrestling/{{WCW}} as Miss Hancock, the secretary for Standards & Practices. Eventually broke out and wound up being the only woman NOT to be fired by WCW near the end. In the WWF, she was manager for many wrestlers, and was almost always more popular than the guys she managed.
* In World Class Championship Wrestling, Hollywood John Tatum was a decent wrestler with poor mic skills. To spice him up, his real-life girlfriend, Missy Hyatt, was promoted to being his valet. She was considered much more interesting than he was and when they moved to the UWF, Missy & John broke up and she got involved with manager/booker/part-time wrestler Eddie Gilbert. Tatum's career flamed out, while Missy went on to working in Memphis, WCW and had brief runs in the WWF and ECW.
* Remember T&A? Wrestling/{{Test}} and Albert? A few people probably do remember them and some probably will remember that they were in a tag team but who was their valet again? Oh yeah...''Wrestling/TrishStratus the 2013 Hall Of Famer''.
* Trish's arch-rival, Wrestling/{{Lita}}, benefited from this as well. She debuted as a valet to Essa Rios who was meant to be a pioneer of the Light-Heavyweight division. He ended up lapsing into obscurity (more so than Test and Albert) while Lita became popular with the fans for her high flying moves. She averted this when Team Xtreme broke up, as all three of that group have remained well known.
** Of course, everyone remembers her being with a certain [[Wrestling/{{Edge}} Rated R Superstar]]. That and the angle where she was Wrestling/{{Kane}}'s bitter wife.
** Even with Team Xtreme, Lita ended up becoming the breakout star in the long run. She's the only member of the stable that is remembered with genuine fondness (mainly due to being VindicatedByHistory), and was even immortalized into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014. The Hardyz are unlikely to ever get that honor due to their personal problems, though the WWE may be willing to overlook that for Wrestling/JeffHardy.
*** This troper disagrees. The Hardys haven't been inducted for a very good reason: they're both still active wrestlers, working for other companies (Jeff in TNA, Matt in ROH), while Lita retired in 2006.
* Anyone remember the team of KC James and Idol Stevens known as the Teacher's Pets? Probably not, but they do remember [[Wrestling/{{LayCool}} Michelle [=McCool=]]], who was their valet and went onto become the first [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-diva.html WWE Divas' Champion]] as well as one of the prominent figures of the women's division - not to mention [[HappilyMarried Mrs.]] [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker Undertaker.]]
** As of 2012, KC James has been released from WWE and is toiling away on the indy circuit. Stevens was sent back to developmental where he was repackaged as Wrestling/DamienSandow, tore up FCW, and soon earned the attention of WWE's higher-ups as a possible future star. He has since reappeared on WWE main programming in a fairly prominent role and thus has over came this.
* Happened with MNM, arguably. Joey Mercury got released twice and faded away and Wrestling/JohnMorrison got stuck in midcard purgatory while Wrestling/{{Melina}} broke out on her own and became Women's Champion and was surprisingly popular after her HeelFaceTurn. Still, Morrison was memorable enough that Melina didn't completely overshadow him.
* Happened again when the Hart Dynasty split. David Hart Smith got released, Tyson Kidd mostly competed on NXT, but [[Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart Natalya]] got put back into the women's division and pushed to win the title.
** This was actually used as a storyline on NXT. Tyson Kidd made a heel turn as a result of feeling overshadowed by his wife's success - to the degree that crowds were chanting "Nattie's wife!" at him.
* The British wrestling family of the Knights have five wrestlers, three men and two women. The two women are much more well-known in America. Sweet Saraya has competed with ''Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}}'' many times and eventually claimed their title while daughter Britani is now Wrestling/{{Paige}} in WWE. Paige also became the first ever NXT Women's Champion.
* For that matter, the Canadian All Knighter's tag team did operate in the USA for awhile and they had a student who became their valet, one Wrestling/BethPhoenix.
* Inverted Thuggin And Buggin Enterprises, as Wrestling/{{Jazz}} ended up being the most successful member of the group despite being a hanger on to it while they were together but after they were forced apart by the draft, Theodore Long eventually became general manager of Smackdown, Wrestling/MarkHenry ''eventually'' became World Heavyweight Champion and Chris Nowinski's research into concussions would change the way people in the USA looked at sports (and simulated sports) for good. She likely is the most successful of the Impact Players, post breakup, but that group almost had as many women as men (Nicole Bass, Dawn Marie being the other two).
* Remember ECW dancing machine DJ Gabriel? Well, he lasted only six months in the WWE while his valet Wrestling/AliciaFox got traded to ''Smackdown'' and put into a prominent storyline. She became an EnsembleDarkhorse with Diva fans on the internet and won the Divas' Championship when she was moved to ''Raw''.
* Though they've never wrestled away from [=Vince McMahon=]'s thumbs, Wrestling/TheFunkadactyl's WWE Career has very much out shined Byron Saxton's, starting when they were paired up with the Funkasaurus Wrestling/BrodusClay. In 2013 they were chosen to star in the reality series ''Series/TotalDivas'' - which was an immediate hit while Brodus Clay and Tensai mostly competed on ''Superstars'' and in the odd SquashMatch. Cameron and Naomi have received prominent spots in the women's division in addition to their managing duties, duties which eventually transitioned to Wrestling/RonKillings when Brodus was released.
* If you talk to wrestling fans long enough you just might run into one or two who have a passing familiarity of Wrestling/CheerleaderMelissa. Perhaps as the [=ChickFight=] staple, the multiple time APW Future Legend title holder, a SHIMMER Champion, perhaps as the burqua clad Raisha Saeed or zipper happy Alissa Flash in TNA, for that time she was ranked #1 among wrestlers around the world, as a President Of Wonder Ring Stardom, ''maybe'' even as that {{jobber}} on [[BShow Sunday Night Heat]] but good luck finding anyone who remembers the tag team she used to lead cheers for, the Ballard Brothers.
* People recall Wrestling/JillianHall's WWE run for her ridiculous gimmicks and {{jobber}} run but at least they recall. How much less is said of the rest of the Bomb Squad, the stable she used to be a member of? So the bomb squad sharing their name with many other stables may also play a role but the same could be said of Jillian's OVW team, the Blonde Bombers, who became the Dicks on Smackdown and the Johnson's on TNA. Who knows her personal referee Whipme Spearz or her former tag team partner Tiny Tim? The male teammates whose fame was not overshadowed by Jillian's were already well established (JBL, [[Wrestling/LondonAndKendrick London, Kendrick]]...maybe Orlando Jordan and the Basham Brothers)
* Among English speaking wrestling fans, Wrestling/BlackRose is easily the best known member of the Dominican Revolution ([[http://luchawomen.blogspot.com/2009/03/black-rose.html despite being Puerto Rican]]). She's also better known in the continental US than her WWC clients Los Fugitivos de la Calle (Niche and Lynx) or El Bronco #1.
* Yes, Wrestling/AlexanderRusev just debuted on WWE programing in April 2014, but it's obvious that his valet Lana is stealing the spotlight away from him. In fact, when asked what the first think they'd think of when Rusev is brought up, 9 out of 10 people would name his manager. Granted, the fact that Rusev isn't portrayed as being conversant in English doesn't help matters.
* It happened with Wrestling/{{Fandango}}'s dance partner Wrestling/SummerRae. After months of just acting as a valet, she began getting chants from fans. She was slowly integrated into the women's division and was chosen to join the cast of the reality show ''Series/TotalDivas''. When she broke away from Fandango, this happened to his next dance partner Layla. The two feuded for a while before ultimately joining forces and dumping Fandango. They formed a team called [=SLayers=] while Fandango just faded away.
* Irish wrestler Katey Harvey began her career as the valet of a tag team called Rough Stuff. She went on to wrestle overseas in the UK and Europe frequently while the other team quietly disbanded.
* All three Eagles have found success in professional wrestling, however, Ryan and Robbie are not as well known as Madison is in North America thanks to a run as SHIMMER Champion getting her ranked #1 in the world by Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
[[folder: Video Games ]]
* Nina Williams, the only woman to have appeared in every ''{{Tekken}}'' game, got her own spin-off game titled ''Death by Degrees'' based on her assassin background.
* Chun Li of ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' and Mai Shiranui of ''VideoGame/FatalFury'', originally the only female characters in their series, are quite possibly even more popular than the two franchise's true leads, Ryu and Terry. Chun Li is the only character aside from Ryu to have appeared in every CapcomVsWhatever game and even got [[Film/StreetFighterTheLegendOfChunLi her own movie]], though [[VideoGameMoviesSuck people don't like to talk about it.]]
** Related to Chun-li, Cammy is the only new character from the expanded editions of Street Fighter (besides [[FinalBoss Akuma]]) to appear in several spin-offs including Street Fighter X Tekken. The same also goes for C. Viper and Juri of Street Figher 4.
** In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'', Sakura Kasugano became a case of this. A female fan of Ryu with a similar play style, she became one of the most beloved characters of the spin-off series, to the point where she got her own manga spin-off. The only other Alpha character to prominently feature in other games is Dan.
* Morrigan Aensland and Felicia (and to a lesser extent, B.B. Hood and Hsien-Ko) from VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} are a particularly extreme example. They have completely overtaken the male lead, Demitri, almost 100%. Probably because he was a VillainProtagonist who was hard to render in 3D. In, particular, Felicia was advertised as just another monster at the start, and is now way more than that.
* Poppet from ''[[Main/MoshiMonsters Moshi Monsters]]'', specifically, the pink one that is used as the default color and is classified as female, managed to get popular enough to have a spin-off magazine with new monster friends.
[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* Jasmine from ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' is a supporting character while the story is about Aladdin, but she is included in the DisneyPrincess franchise and is actually the only princess in the lineup who isn't the main character in her film.
* Tinkerbell from ''Disney/PeterPan'' got her own spinoff franchise in the Disney Fairies.
* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' was actually introduced with this in mind.
* Penelope Pitstop was the only female racer on ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' and got [[WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop her own spinoff series]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'': The Wasp was the only female Avenger during the first season, and went on to become the show's most popular character by far.
* Cindy Bear, despite having only a handful of appearances in the original ''YogiBear'' cartoon, seemed to gain more prominent appearances in later revivals and crossover series, likely because she is the nearest to a recurring female character representing the early HannaBarbera works. She is among the few supporting characters to compete in ''WesternAnimation/LaffALympics'' and is a lead character in ''YoYogi''. In both cases she is the only female character in her team.
* [[DarkActionGirl Tak]] on ''InvaderZim,'' despite only actually appearing in one episode, became an EnsembleDarkhorse at least in part because she was a female character who had degrees of ShipTease with both [[VillainProtagonist Zim]] (whom she was ''technically'' dating) and [[HeroAntagonist Dib]] (who admits he "likes" her without specifying how). Other than her, [[CreepyChild Gaz]] and [[SadistTeacher Ms. Bitters]] most of the female characters are just background filler.
[[folder: Other ]]
* The Tudor family in English history had five rulers, three men and two women. Elizabeth I is undoubtedly the most famous and iconic of the five, having had the most stories and films made about her. Also, the next best known, Henry VIII, is only really remembered for marrying six different women ([[OffWithHisHead and putting a few of them to the axe in the process]]) or for Herman's Hermits' song about him.
** Henry VIII also led the English Reformation, the single most important event to occur during the Tudor dynasty, though that was linked to the six women. [[ShapedLikeItself He was never well liked, which was why he was less popular]].
** If you count Jane Grey, Queen for Nine Days, there were three male and three female rulers during the Tudor era. Also in her day Elizabeth was not quite the Smurfette, being the successor to a ruling queen, her sister Mary I, and finding her legitimacy challenged by another, Mary Queen of Scots. While neighboring France was for a time ruled on behalf of her underage sons by Catherine de Medici. What worked for Elizabeth was a number of factors - she had the longest reign of any Tudor, [[VirginPower she never married]], she won an epic war against Spain, then the greatest power on Earth, while it is hard to remember what the wars of Henry VIII were about. Not to mention that she had a lot more famous and exciting contemporaries - Shakespeare, Jonson, Marlowe, Spenser, Drake, Hawkins, Raleigh etc. etc.
* Near the end of the BookOfGenesis, we get a list of several dozen grandsons of Jacob/Israel...and one granddaughter, Serach, listed among Asher's children. She's only mentioned one other time (in the Book of Numbers, which implies that she's still alive centuries later), and the strangeness of both passages have led to many legends about her in Jewish literature.

Then there is the mail order bride thing?
The other day I was at the grocery store buying of all things food! And I see this very attractive blond. So I mosy on over to see who she was up to and see if she was going commando under that very sexy mini skirt. While I'm standing 10ft away from her fake shopping for coffee I hear this voice say "Hi gorgeous find the coffee you liked?"
And I look over and there is this average guy and then I hear her accent.
First instinct was to think "You looser lack the skill and balls to find a real girl!"
But then you know what happened...I stopped myself and I got angry at him. I mean really angry at him! I mean for the rest of the day I was so pissed at him! He had cheated! The rest of us have to go to the gym have to eat right have to have the right car have to have all the right lines and then maybe if we are at the right place at the right time land a piece of ass as hot as what he was with! And there he went out and cheated and just bought one!
But my anger was nothing. That evening on face book I posted what I had seen and asked my lady friends for their thoughts! You think I had just shot a kitten on live TV! Wooh talk about angry! Like I had just walked up and kicked each one of them square in the junk!
Turns out as much as I was pissed off about the guy "cheating" the system and using a cheat code to hit it big. The ladies knew 100% that if more guys did this shit...they couldn't do their shit.

A pair of TSA officers were arrested by Miami Beach police Tuesday night and charged with criminal mischief and use of a firearm while under the influence.
The two man had rented a hotel room in South Beach, and authorities said the room was "trashed." At some point during the evening, one of the men fired a semi-automatic pistol through the hotel room window. The round penetrated a hurricane-resistant pane of glass at a nearby retail store and ripped through some jeans in a stockroom. The store was closed at the time of the incident, and no one was injured.
The two men under arrest are Jeffrey Piccolella, 27, and Nicholas Anthony Puccio, 25, according to a report in the Miami Herald. A TSA spokesman said the two were part-time officers who were not on agency business in Miami. Piccolella has been with the agency two years, and Puccio just a year. "TSA holds its employees to the highest professional and ethical standards," TSA said in a statment. "We will review the facts and take appropriate action as necessary."

Shakespeare Baitcasting Reels
So you thought the only "Shakespeare" was the English author and playwright? However, there is another William Shakespeare that has also made his mark in history—in fishing history that is. William Shakespeare Jr. invented a system that has revolutionized the way fishing reels are made today. The Level Wind System allows for the fishing line to be wound back evenly onto the reel's spool.

This William Shakespeare Jr. also invented a way to prevent overruns or backlashes with his braking system. Backlashing is a very common phenomenon that fishermen experience, when they cast their lines, and the spool stops rotating because the line runs off the spool at a too-slow pace or when the line just stops while the spool is still rotating as the lure reaches the water. Now, more than a hundred years later, Shakespeare's company still makes some of the best baitcasting reels in today's market, continuing the tradition of excellence and innovation that their founder began in 1897. Check out our Shakespeare fishing reels today!
The Shakespeare baitcasting reel line features five models of baitcasting reels. The Agility low profile baitcaster is equipped with three ball bearing and a one-way clutch instant anti-reverse bearing. It is manufactured out of graphite and has machined aluminum spool and a titanium coated line guide. It also has an adjustable magnetic and mechanical cast control. This Shakespeare baitcast reel is recommended for freshwater use and has a line capacity of one hundred yards. Its gear ratio is 6:3:1 and has a weight of seven point nine ounces.
Similarly, the Shakespeare Dimension baitcasting reel is a five-ball bearing reel, also equipped with a one-way clutch instant anti-reverse bearing system. It is made out of graphite as well and has a Titanium coated line guide. Its magnetic and mechanical cast control is also adjustable. The Dimension also features ported and machined aluminum spool. The Synergy baitcasting reels are also made from graphite and have a gear ratio of 5:1:1. It weighs slightly lighter at seven point six ounces.
Among Shakespeare's round baitcasting reels is the Catera. The Catera has two ball bearings and a one-way clutch anti-reverse bearing. This is sturdier as it is made from anodized aluminum and has rigid chrome-plated brass pillars. Its spool is machined and anodized aluminum. It has precision machines brass gears, and on and off bait clicker, an adjustable four-pin centrifugal anti-backlash control, and a smooth main gear applied star drag system. The Catera has two versions, one for medium-sized/weight lures and another for large/heavy lures. This baitcaster is made for fresh water conditions and has a gear ratio of 5:1:1.
The SKP3100/4100 round baitcasting reel is also made from anodized aluminum with chrome-plated brass pillars. Available also in medium and heavy versions, this baitcasting reel has a line capacity of one hundred and sixty yards.
The Crappie Hunter 10 and 20 models have a chrome-plated metal frame, a selective on and off bait clicker and an anti-reverse system. These Shakespeare baitcasting reels feature an adjustable spool tension control and a left and right hand retrieve. These reels are made for light weight lures and have a line capacity of either two hundred and thirty or one hundred yards. Its gear ratios are 1:0:1 and 4:0:1 respectively.
What seems to be missing from Shakespeare fishing reels line are baitcasters that will do well in salt water conditions. They also have very limited reels for heavy lures. Nevertheless, they still manage to make durable and high quality reels that are worth checking out.

There continues to be a slow increase in the overall percentage of women on boards globally. Among MSCI World companies, women currently hold 17.3% of all directorships. In the US, among S&P 500 companies, women currently hold 19.0% of directorships, up from 16.9% in 2013. Upon closer examination, however, the vast majority of the gains are coming from markets that have instituted mandates and regulations to boost the ranks of women on boards. In markets lacking the regulatory 'stick,' the gains are minimal.
In this year's report, our key findings include:
- Boards with gender diversity above and beyond regulatory mandates or market norms had fewer instances of governance-related scandals such as bribery, corruption, fraud, and shareholder battles.
- There is some indication that the orientation toward regulatory arbitrage may apply to aspects of corporate governance such as director characteristics as we found companies domiciled in Tax Havens exhibit lower rates of women on board than their peers domiciled in developed markets.
- Subsequent to appointing a female CEO, companies exhibit a greater rate of female director appointments compared to male-led companies.
- There is preliminary evidence that companies with more women on their boards tend to display overall stronger management of ESG-related risks.

Atlanta has worst income inequality problem of any major city
Send this to a friend
The Founding Fathers made their stand for equality 236 years ago, issuing the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," they said. But they were speaking in political and social terms, not about economic equality.
The latter remains an elusive goal, monitored by a statistical measure known as the Gini index. A score of 0.000 on the Gini scale would indicate complete economic equality within a community, with every resident having the same annual income. An index of 1.000, on the other hand, would be a sign of total inequality, with one person possessing all the money.
Atlanta has the highest Gini index -- and hence the worst problem with economic inequality -- of any major American city, according to an On Numbers analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.
Atlanta's score on the Gini scale is 0.572, which is slightly worse than the figures for the runners-up among major cities: College Station, Texas, at 0.569, Miami Beach at 0.567 and Tuscaloosa, Ala., at 0.566.
The following database contains the Gini indexes for 9,423 cities, incorporated towns, boroughs, villages and census designated places (CDPs) that have at least 1,000 households. That includes 498 major cities with more than 25,000 households. (A CDP is an unincorporated community that otherwise has the characteristics of a city.)
Use the tab to isolate a single state, or hit Search to view the entire database. All figures come from the Census Bureau's 2010 American Community Survey.
The major city that is closest to an even distribution of income is West Jordan, Utah, with a Gini index of 0.336.

Outdoor Afternoon Cocktails- Awesome View of Blue Angels- Recs needed
Hey Chowhounds,
Have any of you either intentionally sought out or accidentally happened upon an outdoor restaurant/bar for snacks and cocktails with great fly-bys of the Blue Angels during Fleet Week? Prefer someplace that's not down by the wharf. And Medjool is not an option. Thanks in advance for any ideas... this is for Saturday, if the date makes a difference.
Anywhere that has a view is likely to be a mob scene, and really not worth the time. What I suggest is:
a) make friends with someone who has roof access in one of the buildings along Marina Blvd. Failing that...
b)pack a portable bar/picnic, go out to Marina Green and stake out a spot for you and your friends, sit back and enjoy a much better view without the cost or hassle.
Any tall building in the FD will do. From the 18th Floor of 1 Post, we had great views of the practice runs earlier in the week. The building down from The Galleria and across from 1 Post used to have a roof garden accessible to the public. There must be others.
Thanks for the recs, gang- we've got loads of friend's houses and such that we could beg borrow or sneak our way onto, but really wanted to find a restaurant with outdoor seating and cocktails (a la the roof terrace of Medjool in the Mission, which doesn't take reservations for the deck and is likely to be a madhouse this weekend.)
re: dinnerout
Hmm... maybe Presidio Social Club might have some sort of outdoor space, but that might be walking a fine line of getting way too close into the traffic and folks headed to watch from the Bridge, Wharf, etc.
re: Chowsmurf
Thanks for reporting back! I'm glad it didn't turn out to be crowded -- I guess most people opted for somewhere on the waterfront.
re: Ruth Lafler
It certainly felt like most people opted for my neighborhood! Traffic was a nightmare, both vehicle and foot. But the weather was so fabulous and the repeated flyovers by the Blue Angels are fun, even though the buildings shake and the car alarms go off!
Chowsmurf, your OP noted that you were ruling out Medjool. How come? I saw Check Please this weekend, only episode I have seen that I missed before too and Medjool got excellent reviews by all 3 parties. Just curious why the original comment?
Oh and glad you had an enjoyable day. Always love to see the Blue Angels!
re: dhoffman1421
We ruled out Medjool because my boyfriend had been there once on a weekend night and didn't like the crowd and felt the roofdeck was unsafe. (I guess there was music and people were jumping up and down and he could feel the whole roofdeck move with the weight of the people- in addition he saw the "capacity" sign and they were WAY over.) I assumed it would be a mess for the Blue Angles, since I remember some people saying they watched from there last year. When we weren't able to find anywhere else to go, I said, "Look, let's swing by at about 3; I'll hop out of the car and have a look; Worst comes to worse, we can drive up Bernal Hill." I ran up to the deck, and it was gloriously empty!

Bobby Caldwell Performs Songs from New Album HOUSE OF CARDS at The RRazz Room, 11/7-10
The RRazz Room, San Francisco's premier nightclub, presents the return engagement of acclaimed Pop and R&B singer-songwriter, BOBBY CALDWELL. Bobby will perform original songs from his newest album, "House of Cards," which features that classic Caldwell sound, along with a few diverse tracks, which have a hint of Country, Blues, and even Latin Dance. Also featured is Bobby's familiar marriage of vocals and saxophone, in addition to special guests Dave Koz and the talented newcomer Andrew Neu. "House of Cards" will be performed from November 7 through November 10.
BOBBY CALDWELL is one of the most prolific Blue-Eyed-Soul singers and has been performing to audiences throughout the US and Asia since his first hit, "What You Won't Do for Love" in 1979. The classic has been recorded and sampled by more than 100 artists, including rendition by Boys II Men. A sample of Bobby's song "Open Your Eyes" appeared in the Grammy nominated platinum hit "The Light" by Common. Bobby's songs and samples have contributed to over 40 million sales, including artists like Michael Bolton, Roberta Flack, Go West, and Vanessa Williams. Bobby's song was sung by Elliot Yamin during the Final 3 round of "American Idol" in 2006.
