1 From the Nags Head turn left and walk down the High Street, keeping the Anglican church on your right and the Baptist church on the left. Pass Church Road and continue along Bedford Lane. Cross a brook and turn right by some bungalows to follow a path cutting between hedgerows and fields. Look for a sizeable house with shutters on the right, just before the A30. Bear left and walk along to a sign on the right for Shrubs Hill Lane and Onslow Road.
2 Follow the leafy path to a junction by a panel fence and turn right by the bridleway/footpath sign. Curve left, make for a roundabout and swing left, looking for the footpath next to a house called Highgate. Follow it through the woodland and when you join a wider path on a bend, keep left. Skirt the golf course, cutting between trees and bracken, and when you emerge from the woodland, follow the path across the fairways, keeping left at a junction by a bunker. Veer left at the first fork, into the trees, and follow the path to a junction with
a tarmac drive.
3 Turn left and pass through the Wentworth Estate, cutting between exclusive houses with secluded landscaped grounds and imposing entrances. On reaching the A30, turn left and follow the road west. Walk down to the Berkshire/Surrey border and bear sharp right to join a right of way. Follow the shaded woodland path between beech trees and exposed roots. Beyond the wood you reach the buildings of Coworth Park.
4 Draw level with a bridge, turn left and follow the well-defined footpath across a broad expanse of parkland, part of which is used as a polo ground, crossing a track on the far side. Enter woodland, turn left at the road and pass several houses. When you reach the speed restriction sign, bear right to join a byway by Sunningdale Bowling Club. Keep to a tarmac drive and continue ahead. Turn left at the road, swinging left after a few paces at the fork. Pass Coworth Road and return to the centre of Sunningdale village.
In the closing weeks of 1936 the newspaper headlines were dominated by one of the saddest and most dramatic chapters in the history of the monarchy - the abdication of Edward VIII, the uncrowned King who chose to give up the throne for the love of a woman, American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
He knew his decision would provoke the strongest disapproval - that what he wanted to do would be at odds with courtly tradition and principles. But Edward stuck to his guns. He was in love with Wallis Simpson, who was not allowed to become Queen because she had been divorced, and he had no intention of giving her up.
During the crisis, played out against the backdrops of the House of Commons and the House of Windsor, Edward spent much of his time at Fort Belvedere, his beloved country residence near fashionable Sunningdale. Originally constructed by William, Duke of Cumberland, as a triangular belvedere tower in the 1730s, the building was later enlarged to become a miniature fortress for royal tea parties, the home of a royal collection of guns and for storing various family treasures. A battery of cannon was even installed, to be fired on royal birthdays by a resident bombardier. 'It was a child's idea of a fort', wrote Diana Cooper, a leading figure in royal circles and high society, 'the sentries, one thought, must be of tin'.
It was back in the 1920s, years before the crisis, that the Prince of Wales asked his father if he could use Fort Belvedere. He replied: 'What could you want that queer old place for? Those damn weekends I suppose'. Something of a playboy, Edward was a noted socialite who liked to entertain regularly and on a lavish scale. He was allowed to take up residence here, but in later years the house became much more than just a country retreat.
In the closing stages of the crisis, Edward asked his brothers to visit him at Fort Belvedere and witness his signature on the abdication document. It was signed at 12:45pm on Thursday December 10, 1936 in one of the King's private rooms. A few members of his secretarial staff were present and outside, on the Ascot road, a crowd gathered to see him leave the fort for the last time.
Long after he had given up the throne and gone into exile, Fort Belvedere still occupied his thoughts. In his memoirs, Edward wrote fondly of the house that 'laid hold of me in so many ways'. When he finally drove away from Fort Belvedere, it seemed to him like a symbol of all he was giving up. 'The Fort had been more than a home', he wrote, 'it had been a way of life for me? it was there that I passed the happiest days of my life'.
The Nags Head is conveniently located at the start and finish of the walk. This attractive village pub has a welcoming atmosphere and includes a varied menu, with such dishes as steak and kidney pudding, Cumberland sausage, battered cod and spaghetti bolognaise. Baguettes and sandwiches are also available.
On reaching the A30 from the Wentworth Estate, turn right for a few paces to see one of the entrances to Fort Belvedere on the north side of the road, while to the south of it, half hidden in the foliage, lies an old marker stone indicating that it is 22 miles (35.4km) from here to London's Hyde Park Corner. Coworth Park, originally the seat of the Earl of Derby, belongs to a Canadian millionaire, with part of the estate owned by the Brunei Government and run as a polo centre. The house is built in the style of a medieval Swiss farmhouse. To the east of Coworth Park lies Fort Belvedere, enclosed by thick woodland. To the north lie Virginia Water and Windsor Great Park.
Stroll through the Wentworth Estate on the Berkshire/Surrey border and you'll see that most houses have their own security. Some even boast their own monogrammed gates. General Pinochet was detained here at the end of the 1990s, making newspaper headlines for some months. It was back in the 1920s that Wentworth began to evolve into the community you see today. What had been a private country estate was sold off in separate lots and sizeable new houses began to spring up.

Frank Lampard made his long-awaited debut for New York City FC on Saturday.
Frank Lampard made his long-awaited debut for New York City FC on Saturday, subbing in for Andrew Jacobson in a match against the Montreal Impact at Yankee Stadium.
Lampard had been expected to debut for the team in July, however a calf injury sustained in training pushed things back.
The English midfielder entered the game in the 69th minute, with the Impact leading 2–1. Montreal would go on to win 3–2 on two goals by Ignacio Piatti (one a penalty kick) and one by Dominic Oduro.
Andrea Pirlo started the game for NYCFC, playing his second MLS game after debuting with the club on July 26. Thomas McNamara and David Villa (penalty kick) both scored for New York City.

Federalism has been defined as the sharing of power between the states and the national government. It has been a major historical and political issue throughout U.S. history and has played a major role in the development of our great republic.
Prior to the establishment of the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, there existed two political factions. Hamilton and his colleagues, the original Federalists, believed only a strong central government could provide the new nation with the economic, political and military cohesiveness it would need to maintain its independence. The Anti-federalists saw such a government as the greatest threat to that new-found liberty, and feared that by creating a strong central government they were replacing one tyranny with another. In addition, the Antifederalists believed a government of daily life was best carried out by groups that were closely bound by ties of kinship, belief and history, the state and local governments.
When the federal government was established by the U.S. Constitution in 1787, it only exercised limited or enumerated powers, such as making treaties and printing money. The Tenth Amendment of the Bill of Rights, clarified that all other powers belonged to the states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."

A panel approved a proposed revision to the section on evolution in South Carolina's new state science standards, according to The State (July 29, 2014). If the revision is approved by the state board of education and the Education Oversight Committee, it will end the impasse over South Carolina's state science standards that began with the EOC's refusal in December 2013 to accept a standard covering evolution.
The South Carolina state board of education rejected the Education Oversight Committee's proposal to revise the state science standards to require students to "[c]onstruct scientific arguments that seem to support and scientific arguments that seem to discredit Darwinian natural selection" at its June 11, 2014, meeting, according to the Charleston Post and Courier (June 11, 2014).
The Columbian mammoth is now the official state fossil of South Carolina after Governor Nikki Haley signed House Bill 4482 into law on May 16, 2014 — and there was no mention of the Sixth Day of Creation.
The Columbian mammoth is on track to become the official state fossil of South Carolina, with no mention of its appearance on the Sixth Day of Creation.
The South Carolina Senate insisted on its version of House Bill 4482 — which refers to the Sixth Day of Creation — on a 28-13 vote on April 30, 2014, and so the bill proceeds to a conference committee.
The impasse in the dispute about the place of evolution in South Carolina's state science standards continues. "The S.C. Education Oversight Committee on Monday sent proposed language to the [state board of education] that would require biology students to construct scientific arguments that seem to support and seem to discredit Darwinism," reports the Charleston Post and Courier (April 28, 2014).
The South Carolina House of Representatives rejected the Senate's version of House Bill 4482 — which refers to the Sixth Day of Creation — on a 72-30 vote on April 9, 2014.
Was the mammoth "created on the Sixth Day with the other beasts of the field"? According to the Senate version of House Bill 4482 in South Carolina, it was.
Just three days after the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee refused to approve a section of the new state science standards involving evolution, Senator Mike Fair (R-District 6), a member of the committee whose opposition was responsible for the refusal, is reportedly withdrawing his objection.
At its February 10, 2014, meeting, the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee approved a new set of science standards for South Carolina — with the exception of a clause involving the phrase "natural selection."

This gorgeous bracelet was a gift from my Aunt who would've been over 100 years old if she were still with us. I found one on-line with exact same fancy base & glass stones but without all of the leaves and decoration. There was no helpful info on that one. I had a part of the clasp replaced as it broke but all else is original. I am looking for an age, possible maker & what kind of metal. There are no marks at all, unfortunately.

Hi, Linda,
1. Era: Late 1930s through 1940s.
2. Style: Victorian Revival. This style was a departure from the earlier Art Deco style. It was inspired by the movie Gone With The Wind released in 1939. The costume jewelry manufacturers had been busy a couple of years before then to introduce Victorian Revival in jewelry and fashions. Basically an enlarged interpretation of authentic Victorian styles. For the movie the jewelry was extra large so the audience could see it.Other contermporary movies, notably The Heiress with Olivia de Havilland, also showed Victorian Revival styles.
3. Maker(s): Take your pick. Any of the Providence, Rhode Island and/or Massachusetts factories could have produced it. If it didn't have a signature or stamp of the maker, it was "unsigned." It means that it was usually sold in finer specialty stores where the store didn't want the maker identified. It was not good for their markup if the same piece could be ID'd by maker in department stores around the town selling it for less. Better costume jewelry therefore only sported paper hang tags, i.e., Made Expressly for *** [Store]. Yours is obviously one such. It's a common misinterpretation of maker's stamps that the jewelry is "better" when signed. The opposite can also be true.
4. Materials: Gilt stamped brass, glass "rhinestones", originating in Austria, Germany, Czechoslovakia, and/or France. Many early refugees from those countries, fleeing the war threat, brought their stashes of glass stones with them to be able to get ready cash on arrival in the U.S. Regular imports had stopped because of the war so the U.S. manufacturers welcomed the discreet sales of genuine rhinestones from refugees. In Providence, RI, there are still outlets carrying more "leftover" uncirculated vintage stones, popular with restorers and crafters.
5. Value: I never discuss that because it depends on so many things. Condition (yours is broken), selling venue, desirability by collectors.
If you get it repaired you could enjoy it yourself for one, or, two, get a better price if you want to sell it.
6. Where to research prices: eBay, Completed Auctions, SOLDS. Search words; "Victorian Revival bracelets"
Check also Google IMAGES for look-alikes to yours, follow links there to more information about them.
Lovely bracelet! Good Luck,
Abundance of info, Liz! The bracelet has been repaired and photo showed new clasp. I just put the broken part in the pics as a potential clue. The bracelet I found on-line without all the leaves & pinecones had an asking price of $500 but was dropped it to $350. I love it & wear it often. Not selling it but would be interested in just how much the intricacy of this one ups the value. I can't thank you enough for your very complete response! :)

That's all I need to know. DLing it now.It's a good sounding driver
That's all I need to know. DLing it now.It's a good sounding driver
CountMike, @f14tomcat et al
I might help explain some things
1. Realtek HD Audio device vs a Realtek Audio Codec
The High Def (HD) audio standard requires both HD controllers and HD devices. The HD audio controller connects to the PCI bus. One or more HD audio devices will connect to the HD controller
PCI Bus <====> HD audio controller <=====> one more HD audio devices
- Starting with Win 8, MS includes a generic driver for the HD audio bus controller
- Realtek (and other vendors) provide drivers for their HD audio devices that connect to an HD audio controller
- Vendors may also provide their own driver for the controller but have rarely seen this occur
The Realtek HD Audio device drivers are for their devices that connect to controllers. If you have HD audio, you can see device relationships on your own PC using Device Manager. Click View->Devices by Connection
Showbiz has a Realtek Audio Codec (its name first appeared when first posted the driver details snapshot). The codec is not an HD audio device. It would appear the codec works with / augments the onboard Intel SST audio . (Given the architecture, Hardware names and IDs I see from showbiz, i also don't believe showbiz's PC is HD audio.) You can find the Realtek relationship defined in showbiz's Speccy
You had problems installing the EXE file from Dell. The Dell EXE includes more then just the files needed for the driver (see below) If all is working now, leave it as is. Don't bother with the EXE
2. The word "driver" is an ambiguous term
It's commonly used by everyone to refer to the "driver package" as well as the "driver installation app". The "driver package" is the set of files needed to implement the h/w interface. The driver package always includes an INF file. The INF tells Windows how to install the driver files. Only the driver package files are saved in the Windows DriverStore.
An EXE file is a driver installation app. It will always include the package but can also include software apps, it might provide the user a GUI interface, and more that wouldn't be in the package. Catalyst Control Center is an example of a s/w app that gets installed by the EXE along with the driver package. When uninstalling a driver, one should always first check Programs and Features because if the driver was installed by an EXE file, the vendor may have also provided an uninstaller for you.

I have Realtek Audio on my Dell 7559 which is supposed to be HD. When I install these drivers the Device Manager and elsewhere just say Realtek Audio.
Just to confuse things Microsoft have uploaded version 184.108.40.20693 to the Microsoft Update Catalog. Windows 64-bit only.
Sort by Last updated or Version.
Microsoft Update Catalog
If not, in Device Manager, click View->Devices by connection. Then drill down to expand the ACPI devices and then PCI bus. Now look till you see your Realtek Audio device. Post a screenshot showing the audio device in question and the parent/child devices it connects to
In addition, when you post, please be more specific in giving the full computer model number. Is "Dell 7559" in fact the "Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series 7559" as the site most certainly provides an HD Audio driver and I'd expect device names to state HD as well
Where can I get drivers for the ALC1150 codec on my Maximus VII Formula, please?

What did you use them for after you thawed them? Do they need to be peeled, blanched, parboiled, etc.? Any good recipes for traditional American dishes using thawed potatoes that do not include eggs or dairy?

New Delhi: The Revenue Department on Tuesday said it is examining reports on political parties provided by the Election Commission and the Home Ministry for violation of tax laws and allegations of money laundering.
"We have received some reports on political parties from the Election Commission. The reports are under examination," Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman Sudhir Chandra told reporters here.
Tax authorities, according to income tax sources, will also go into the details provided by the Home Ministry pertaining to money laundering by political parties, which are claiming tax exemption.
It has been alleged that people are floating political parties in large numbers to evade taxes as donations to such entities are exempt from payment of income tax.
"The number of political parties registered with the Commission is almost touching the 1,200 mark. A recent law that exempted donations to political parties from income tax, for both the payers and the payee, has caused a spurt in the formation of new political parties," Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi had recently said.
He had also asked for a report from CBDT about such defaulting parties.
Besides looking at the details provide by the Election Commission, the officials said that the income tax authorities would be scrutinising their I-T returns and background of donors who provided more than Rs 20,000.
"All such reports are being examined with the help of proper law enforcement agencies. The department is one of the largest consumers of the suspicious and cash transaction reports generated by the Financial Intelligence Unit and the unit has been sending us a huge data," income tax sources said.
Quraishi had recently made a strong pitch for providing tax benefits on donations only to those political parties, which prove their strength at the hustings, as exemptions on such funds have led to the birth of several new parties.
Observing that almost 75 to 80 per cent of the registered political parties have not participated in any elections for the last several years, the CEC said that although the Commission has power to register political parties, it does not have the power to de-register them.

On the central west coast of Florida is a thriving real estate sanctuary better known as Sarasota. This formerly quaint city has made significant strides in its development from having a relatively small population of 150,000 to 365,000 residents as of 2006 and counting. Part of Sarasota's widespread appeal are its acclaimed sun-kissed and sandy beaches on Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key that stand as some of the best in the southern United States.
Neighborhood communities in Sarasota like Harbor Acres, Silver Oak and Oyster Bay have continued to flourish and come with a variety of single family homes, luxurious mansions and all inclusive condominiums each designed to appeal to a broad range of future Sarasota home seekers who want to bask in the Florida sunshine and live by the radiantly indigo ocean. Golf aficionados can choose from communities like Misty Creek and Bent Tree.
Condo owners and fellow Sarasota residents alike can enjoy a assortment of activities from fishing and boating at Turtle Beach Pier to daily live entertainment at the popular Gator Club. Local and international cuisines can be found everywhere in places like Mexican restaurant Two Señoritas and the traditional menus and drinks available at the waterfront Marina Jack restaurant and bar. Sarasota is constantly evolving and is increasingly becoming Florida's preferred destination for single individuals and families seeking a quiet tropical retreat.

Skyfall may have released across the pond, but we still have a few weeks before it hits stateside. Until then, we've posted a featurette below that shows Daniel Craig in action as James Bond.
The featurette below show a behind-the-scenes look at the shooting of the pre-credits actions sequence. In this case, it shows Daniel Craig and various stuntmen fighting on a train and riding motorcycles across rooftops in Istanbul, Turkey.
Sounds crazy, but the clip is posted below, and will help keep you warm until Skyfall comes out domestically on November 9.
Here's the official synopsis of Skyfall:
"Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost."
The film stars Daniel Craig in his third outing as MI6 Secret Agent James Bond. Co-starring in Skyfall are Judi Dench as M, Naomie Harris as Eve, Ben Whishaw as Q, and Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva.
Craig himself has signed on for another two Bond films, and said of Skyfall that his experience on the film was far more enjoyable than his previous two entries. He told The Telegraph that "there was a chance to really give it something," this time around and that, "I'd love to make another one. We've started something with this one that I want to continue."
Are you looking forward to Skyfall?

First off, thanks for your comment on A Story of Corruption. Your point that corruption happens in the U.S. is well taken and correct. However, I wanted to write a more substantive response to you because what you said is the most common defense that we hear and I think it's worth dealing with in detail.
Yes, corruption is a world problem and individual cases do happen in the US. However, the difference that I am highlighting here is a societal one. Corruption in Croatia is a societal ill. So much so that Croatia's own Ministry of Justice saw fit to produce this brilliant Anti-Corruption ad. It is also very likely a function of corruption that this ad aired for all of a few days before it was yanked and banished to the depths of the archive never to be seen again.
In addition to classical corruption scenarios where envelopes pass back and forth under tables, I include among the rot, the building of illegal houses and buildings as well as the pay-offs that happen to get building permits (when permits are actually sought). I include among the corrupt those people who hire complete incompetents because he/she is so-and-so's nephew. I'm talking about the workers who spend most of their time at work going for coffee and standing around but draw a full day's wage. I'm talking about the women at the open air market who charge tourists more for their products than they do locals. I'm talking about the thousands of ˝veterans˝ who never enlisted for the war (but are the right age) who scam the system to get the benefits (and there are many benefits). I'm talking about millions of dollars raised by patriotic members of the diaspora for the war effort that were shuttled directly into the pockets and personal accounts of local Croatians which to me personally is one of the most disgusting violations of trust in recent history that I've ever seen.
So, you see, I'm NOT talking about individual cases of one back scratching another. I am talking corruption as societal rot. Corruption in Croatia is absolutely pervasive and at all levels of society. The fact that it is a more accepted mode of doing business is true and not only sad but a serious impediment to development. The difference that I am highlighting is that in the US, when corruption is made public, people are actually scandalized, the public is outraged and people are forced to resign (e.g., Blagojevich) and often go to jail.
Now, there are problems in the US. No doubt. Moral relativism. Violence. etc... But corruption as a societal ill is not one of them.
If I could vote in the upcoming elections here, I would vote for USKOK (the anti-corruption wing of the Federal Prosecutor's office).

Dear Croatian in America,

Match 1 – Haku Vs Hercules – NO.
Match 2 – The Rockers Vs The Twin Towers – 2 massive guys vs The Rockers? Fuck yes! Should make up for the fact I had to skip the first match lol. Great start with Shawn & Marty running around avoiding their bigger stronger opponents and frustrating them, then using quick tags and double team offence to try and control this match. But a blind tag puts an end to their luck, and poor Marty gets CRUSHED between the two behemoths. Dammit, Marty comes back fairly quickly instead of taking a beating for much longer which could have ruled, but I'm guessing this is gonna be another card filled with short matches. Or maybe… HBK FIP! Eeeeeeeeeeeee! Awesome clothesline to take him out. BOSSMAN WITH A SPLASH OFF THE TOP ROPE! And HBK moves, and dammit, no HBK FIP. THEY TEASED ME DAMMIT. Or are they? Awesome powerbomb counter to HBK coming off the ropes… and a big splash from Akeem and this is over. FUCKING DAMMIT! It ended up getting hardly any time, and they kept teasing me with a HBK FIP which never really happened. SAD NOW. Though this was a ton of fun for the time it lasted. **.
Match 3 – Ted DiBiase Vs Brutus The Barber Beefcake – Seriously? DiBiase in a match at WM… and it's against that fucking pile of turd Brutus? Fuck this. NO.
Match 4 – The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers Vs The Bushwhackers – I skipped this at the RR. I'm not watching it now either. Fuck this shit. NO.
Match 6 – Mr Perfect Vs The Blue Blazer – Hennig Vs Owen! Alright, something I wanna watch! Fun short sprint here, reminds me a little of Owen Vs Kid from KOTR, only not as fast paced. Perfect wins. Fine for what it was, easy to watch. *3/4.
Run DMC? They were going all the way back then? Well DAMN lol. They do something. I skipped it.
Match 7 – Demolition Vs Powers of Pain & Mr Fuji – Tag titles on the line, even though it's a handicap match. They really like to do a match with a manager at WM don't they? Kinda wish I'd skipped this, because it was dull as fuck. I was hoping for some big hard hitting match between 4 tough bastards, with Fuji just coming in every now and then like you would expect. Instead it's slow and filled with shitty slams. For the first time, the manager actually gets PINNED rather than picking up the win. So it has that going for it. But it doesn't matter, because the whole thing still sucked. DUD.
Match 8 – Dino Bravo Vs Ronnie Garvin – Do I want to watch this? I like Garvin… Bravo doesn't do THAT much for me but I don't really dislike him or anything. Ok, I'll give it a watch. Snuka gets introduced randomly while both guys are stood in the ring waiting for the match to start LOL. Snuka doesn't even do anything either! He takes about a minute to come to the ring, poses, then fucks off! LMFAO. What a complete and utter waste of sodding time. Very shot match here, but I liked it. Garvin is a big hard hitter, and Bravo is "Canada's Strongest Man", so we get some nice action in the very short time they are given. Garvin has some great punches too btw. Bravo wins with a side slam. 1/2*.
Match 9 – The Brainbusters Vs Strike Force – ARN. TULLY. FUCK YES. Some great typical tag work from the Brainbusters. Match is structured similar to their series with The Rockers (if you haven't seen them, WATCH EM), only Strike Force aren't as good, but it doesn't matter because they are still a good team and this is still a good match. Love the double figure four spot, with Arn truly being a team player by raking the eyes of… whoever has Tully in the hold so he releases it, as Tully is the legal man, leaving Arn still in the hold taking damage while Tully can recover and get the match back on track for them. ARN. Tito gets knocked into Martel by mistake and that is pretty much how the Brainbusters really gain control. Tito finally gets a chance to tag out.. but Martel is pissed that he got taken out by Tito (he doesn't know it was a mistake caused by the Brainbusters)… and leaves! Heel turn for Martel, and now the Brainbusters can finish off Tito with no worry of a partner helping him. Good stuff. ***.
PIPER'S PIT! Heard a TON of hate for this segment, time to see what I think of it. Hilariously long introduction from Howard Finkle for Piper… only for BROTHER LOVE to come out in a kilt! Ha. LMFAO at Brother Love's Piper impression. Great stuff here with Love interviewing Piper, except he is playing the part of Piper too lol. Morton Downy Jr shows up too, then we get Piper for real! Piper and Love going back and forth is great. Piper on the mic is always awesome. Downy Jr just kinda sits in the back playing with cigarettes for a while, then throws some at Piper, who keeps glaring over at him then going back to Love, before finally getting to him. Downy says some shit, Piper turns it into gold, then attacks him with a fire extinguisher lol. I loved this. Fuck the haters. Sure, it took up some time, time that could have went to Rockers/Twin Towers… but half the sodding matches so far basically took time from a match like that by happening and SUCKING. At least this was entertaining!
Match 10 – Andre The Giant Vs Jake Roberts – Big John Studd is the guest referee here because… I dunno. I'm sure there was some reason. Playing on the Andre/Studd feud that happened for WM 1? Damn, Andre is really getting smaller here, he's barely bigger than Studd now. Match starts and BAM, Jake gets smashed head first into an exposed turnbuckle! Commentators are confused as to why it isn't padded, and the ref doesn't notice at all! Guessing Heenan did it while everyone was watching Jake come to the ring. For some reason though Jake doesn't act like it's that big a deal. He's all out of it at first, then quickly makes a comeback and even gets Andre tied in the ropes so he can take some free shots at the Giant. But the Giant is still a Giant, and he doesn't stay in the ropes for long nor does he take offence from Jake too long… but then after a shoulder smash in the corner… Andre nearly collapses and… I have no idea why. Commentators claim it was a knee from Jake, but I watched it back and Jake didn't do anything. THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE? Jake goes for the snake, DiBiase comes out and steals it. Jake chases him. Andre attacks Studd. Jake returns with the Snake (which looks heavy as FUCK btw lol). Snake in the ring and Andre gets the fuck outta there. Jake wins via DQ. This was terrible. DUD.
Match 11 – The Hart Foundation Vs Greg Valentine & The Honky Tonk Man – Well this was great… for the couple of minutes that it lasted. GGRRRR! GIVE MATCHES TIME DAMMIT. Hart Foundation dominate the entire thing in a fun sprint that ends with Bret using the Megaphone on the heels for the win. Just needed to be like, 5 times longer. *.
Match 12 – Rick Rude Vs The Ultimate Warrior – LMAO at Warrior running to the ring. The walkway is really thin and when you have the crowd reaching out to touch the wrestlers (DIRTY FANS!), there really isn't any room at all, so Warrior looks like a complete and total tit. Then he gets into the ring and continues to look like that LOL!. A bearhug… from the BABYFACE… in the first 30 seconds? Fuck this shit lol. Come on Rude, get in control dammit! Knees to the gut to prevent a splash, and hopefully Rude can do something interesting now. Nope. Couple of minutes of shit, then with the help of Heenan, Rude pins Warrior and becomes IC champ. Yawnathon. DUD.
Match 13 – Bad News Brown Vs Hacksaw Jim Duggan – No thanks. NO.
Match 14 – Bobby Heenan Vs The Red Rooster – Well this lasts less than a minute. DUD.
Match 15 – Randy Savage Vs Hulk Hogan – WWF Title time! Hogan was a piece of shit friend, looked like he was trying to hit on Liz, eliminated Savage from the RR… and somehow SAVAGE IS THE HEEL. But hey, at least Savage can be a great heel. He's a great PRICK here, stalling early on to slow down Hogan's momentum, uses Liz to avoid being hit etc. Then Hogan goes all TECKNICKLEZ on Savage, possibly to throw the champ off his game, as he would be expecting basic power moves from the Hulkster. But a thumb to the eye changes that, and now Savage can use his superior wrestling and high flying ability to control things. Savage keeps cheating in little ways so Hogan cheats back to make a short comeback before he gets BUSTED OPEN leaving him vulnerable to the MACHO MAN OOOOOO YEAAAAHHH. But Savage gets too cocky and doesn't follow up enough, allowing Hogan plenty of chances to get shots in and it becomes more of a back and forth bout with Hogan trying to beat the fuck out of his former best friend and Savage trying to murder the guy who turned on him and tried to take his wife and somehow made HIM the bad guy in this situation LOL. Liz adds for some interesting moments too, including getting in the way of Hogan when he tries to send Savage into the ring post. She doesn't want to favour one over the other, but she still loves her husband and keeps trying to protect him. But since Savage is the HEEL here, he sends her away because he doesn't want her help. Match has been great up until now… when Hogan takes an Elbow drop and gets up straight away to Hulk Up and shit. Bah. Boot. Leg Drop. New Champ. Bah. The original SUPERMAN comeback lol. Shame the finish had to be so shit, because the rest was great. Brings down the match, but not THAT much. I still liked it a whole lot overall. ***1/2.

Have you ever wondered what people in other countries think about us?
Many Americans, myself included, seem to be so arrogant about our country that we confess to not caring very much about what others think of us. A recent article in the Christian Science Monitor illustrates what one Canadian sees as the differences in our culture and that of his country.
Canada today is a blend of American and British influences. According to David Martin, whose column on the subject appeared in the Feb. 15, 2001 issue of the Monitor, Canadian uniqueness begins with their founding document, which calls for "peace, order and good government." Contrast that with our commitment to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
The Canadian constitution resonates with British properness while, by comparison, ours reflects our emphasis on the individual. In large part, America's greatness has resulted from our hero-worship of the rough and ready frontiersman who could take care of himself without the necessities of social structure.
The northeastern part of our country reflects some of the British-influenced love of station and social order at all costs, but many of their ancestors supported England during the Revolutionary War anyway, so what do you expect!
Martin suggests that because Canadians value the commonwealth over the rights of the individual, they have socialized medicine. Everyone is covered and no one has to fear losing his home and savings because of illness or misfortune.
America's health care policy is currently in transition. Where we are transitioning to has not been determined. We haven't decided how we are going to pay for health care for our citizens.
Currently, except for the elderly, disabled and children of lower-income parents, everybody is on their own. In some cases, an employer will pay for health care for its employees. In other cases, the individual pays for his own health care. In many cases, nobody pays for health care and hospitals either write-off the cost as uncollectible or the person goes without care.
For an issue as important as health care, it is confounding that a solution remains beyond our grasp.
Before we rush to the judgement that the Canadian system of national health care is the pony to ride, we should be mindful that their system is not without problems. Some report that the quality of care is somewhat lacking and elective, non-essential medical procedures have a long waiting list and waiting is not a strong suit for us Americans.
Martin suggests that because Canadians value social order over individual liberty, few Canadians own handguns. The writer suggests that the absence of handguns has led to a far lower crime rate for Canada than we enjoy in the U.S.
While I am no authority on the Canadian crime rate, I doubt that banning handguns has much to do with it.
A handgun untouched by human hands will eventually rust away and return to the elements from which it was made and will neither kill nor injure anyone in the process. It is only when the gun is disturbed by humans that violence results. To argue that without handguns there would be no violence is to say that prior to the invention of handguns a few hundred years ago there was no trace of violence in the world.
Canadians, according to Martin, believe in cooperation whereas we treasure the image of the self-made man. He reports that they pay more generous welfare benefits to those in need and subsidize higher education more than we do. Additionally, they regulate their airwaves much more than we do here in the U.S.
The end result of this social generosity is less disparity between the rich and poor and, presumably, a higher-educated populace, perhaps more civilized, though the author doesn't say so in his column
We have only recently rid ourselves of the demoralizing, dehumanizing legacy of unlimited welfare and the permanent underclass it produces.
People have an inherent need to be productive and the lure of a free lunch for being unproductive is just too tantalizing for many citizens.
It seems to me that God created us with a competitive instinct and any system that attempts to subvert that instinct is not for good. As for education, any kid in America who wants to go to college can do so by utilizing some combination of work, grants, scholarships and loans.
I enjoyed Martin's column. It gave me some food for thought. He is marching to the tune of a different drummer than we follow here in America and I don't anticipate a substantial migration of U.S. citizens to Canada.
In summary, I believe I'll just stay right here in Mississippi.
Thought for the Moment – It is this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure….Wise people learn not to dread, but actually to welcome problems. — Psychiatrist and author M. Scott Peck

We Were Liars
by E. Lockhart
Released: May 13th 2014
My Rating: 4 stars
Goodreads Summary:
A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.
We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from National Book Award finalist and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart.
Read it.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
My Review:
I picked this book up with one thought: "oooh John Green blurb!" And that's about it.
I'll admit. I did not like most of the book. The prose is very weird. Especially in the beginning I got so confused, my friend had to read a chapter and explain it to me. But that's my fault because I got excited when Candence's dad turned around and shot her in the chest and her heart rolled into the flower bed.
Oh. Not literally? ...I knew that. The only reason I kept going (since usually I have no patience for books) was because within a week, four friends recommended it to me and said it was awesome, so I knew there had to be some sort of twist etc; and also it's super short. (okay two reasons.)
Near the middle-end...I started to guess what this twist could be. No, really! But I think I only had that spark in my head because I've read one book before with something similar. Not saying there is a twist. And I didn't guess it completely right anyway.
So since this is not a negative review, you can guess I ended up liking it. The writing managed to be so very concrete and dreamlike at the same time and upon finishing the book, I'm impressed. I feel like this book will be one that wins an award for being awesome. But with a more official award name obviously. Incandescent. And incandescent award.
Don't you love my ambiguity? It must be burning you up inside.
Bottom line is to go in blind, and do what the book suggests: read it. And if anyone asks you how it ends, just lie.

Really! Who LIKES to clean house on Saturday's. Any day for that matter!
Like most people I enjoy having a clean house, but hate making the time to clean it. Of particular annoyance to me is the dust accumulation on my hard wood and manufactured wood floors. Typically I sweep the floor and within a short time the floors are dusty again.
Today I thought about the fact that dust particles are sent airborne when you sweep and those particles end up back on the floor. So, I said to myself "I need to do something different to keep the dust from flying". It dawned on me that I should try spraying Endust on the bottom of the broom to keep the dust particles from going airborne. IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! I will now instruct my family members to do the same.
After I was done I decided to do some internet searching to see what other "dusty floor" sweeping tips I could find and in particular to see if anyone else was doing the same as I had just done. And of course I did! I think I may have done this before, but forgotten about it. Hopefully I'll remember from now on.
Today I don't have too many outside events/activities to attend so my goal is to get more house cleaning done in between reading three chapters for my class.

Scottish PR Agency Helps Secure New Coverage for Warners Property
Friday, December 11th, 2009
on behalf of Warners Solicitors and Estate Agents
Edinburgh's leading property solicitor Warners has been celebrating after one of the properties on its books was featured prominently in a major Sunday newspaper.
Scotland on Sunday's @Home supplement ran a five page feature on a property in Barnton, which is being sold for offers around £1.3 million through Warners.
The 5-bedroom mansion in Edinburgh has three bathrooms and four reception rooms – including an exceptional sun room – and private gardens. The magazine published an interview with the owners of the property, who extensively rennovated the home before putting it up for sale.
The property at 10 Essex Brae, Barnton, is being sold for offers around £1.3 million and further information can be seen on the Warners website, or by contacting 0131 662 4747.
The five page feature in @Home was the result of a proactive media push by Holyrood Partnership PR in Scotland.

Pass the Gift Scentsy Party Game/
I saw this poem on another Scentsy consultants site and loved it. Its a really cute and a great ice breaker to your Scentsy or Direct Sales party. I just put in a Scentsy Body Spray in a nice bag and then you pass it around according to what the poem says you do! Its great if not everyone at your party may know each other and plus its not very long or embarassing things to do either. Party games can be awkward and this one isnt!
Here's a downloadable copy for you. I printed this out and laminated it so I could reuse and reuse. Let me know how you get on with this!
P.S. I didnt write this poem and couldnt find the name of the site when I went looking for it again. So if you wrote this please let me know so I can give you proper credit. :)

The fantastically named Dominic Dromgoole, artistic director of the Globe Theatre, has recently announced the line up for their 2006 theatre season, and it's a bit of a corker.
Under the theme "The Edges of Rome" the Globe will be staging Coriolanus ("Shakespeare's greatest political play"), Titus Andronicus ("Spectacularly, even grotesquely, violent and daringly experimental"), Antony & Cleopatra (although Antony has been spelt with an 'h' on the Globe website...tut tut), and The Comedy of Errors ("a hectic tale of violent cross-purposes, furious slapstick and social nightmare").
There are also two new plays included in the season. One of which is Howard Brenton's In Extremis... but we're going to ignore that because the other one is about pirates!
Simon Bent's Under the Black Flag is billed as a "wild tale of high seas and low politics, which exposes the class hatreds and religious hypocrisy of the 17th century," and promises to be the theatrical event of the year (if you're into pirates):
Scraps of Hamlet, King Lear and The Tempest all find echoes in the disordered mind of John Silver as he plies his violent trade along the Barbary Coast, turning every political enmity to his advantage and dodging the knife of his ruthless pursuer, Captain Mission. Based on the real life cutthroat of Stevenson's Treasure Island and set around the historical pirate republic of Rabat, this wild tale of high seas and low politics exposes the class hatreds and religious hypocrisy of the 17th century.
And if that's not enough to entice you, bear in mind that "The production features bare flesh and filthy language." You didn't get any of that in Captain Pugwash did you?
For details of performance dates and times for the Globe go here.

Captains navigating the south of Phuket are being urged to exercise caution after reports were made of a 55m superyacht hitting an uncharted submerged object in the waters between Rawai Beach and Koh Bon.
Bob Mott, Phuket yachtsman commented, "[Members of] the local marine community are reminding boaters of the danger, following a number of incidents which have caused near sinkings.
"The Ao Chalong Yacht Club website advises the approximate location of the submerged object as 5.6NM from Rawai Beach and 2.43NM from the northern tip of Koh Bon."
The approximate position of the hazard was reported as 7°45'58.38"N, 98°19'53.58"E
The online Southeast Asia Pilot, a critical cruising guide to Phuket and other ports throughout Asia, reported that the collision occurred an hour ago.
The luxury vessel had a draft of 2.6m, but the shallowest points along the edges of the channel are known to draw just 70cm of water during the low Spring tide.
Bob Mott first reported the dangerous obstruction in January 2006 when the 20m aluminum yacht Orion struck the hazard, believed to be a large rock or sunken vessel.

Processing Paris Sessions #01 with Yannick Mathey
In 2010, Mark Webster organised a two day Processing workshop and exhibition in Paris at La Fonderie de l'Image. Simply titled, Processing Paris the event proved a great success with two workshops taught by Julien Gachadoat and Karsten Schmidt respectively. In April 2011, the event was repeated with three main workshops led by Christian Delécluse, Julien Gachadoat and Hartmut Bohnacker.
Soon after this second edition, Cedric Kiefer and Andreas Köberle started a monthly meet up in Germany. Processing Berlin was born. It wasn't long before other cities joined in with Processing Ghent and Processing Bordeaux following suit.
From that humble beginning the Processing Cities initiative has developed as a project led by the Free Art Bureau. From Vancouver to Lyon, Chicago to Jakarta, communities are being created on an international level. So what is the project all about?
The Processing Cities Project wants to encourage other like minded people to set up their own events – workshops, conferences, informal talks and show & tells – revolved around using code in the creative process. And this doesn't necessarily mean just Processing but also vvvv, Cinder, OpenFrameworks and any other code based Open Source tool. We want to spread the good word about programming and how it can be used within the arts and creative industries. Getting together and sharing our knowledge is the best means for that.
Each city chooses to organise events as they wish. In Paris, FAB is at the helm of monthly sessions for which we invite creatives to give talks and short workshops at the Batofar. We also continue to organise the yearly event, Processing Paris inviting the best professionals in the field to lead creative workshops.
So, if you would like to join in, set up an event, a monthly club or would like to help, we'd love to hear from you. Drop us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can also download a free guide that includes practical information about how you can set up a Processing City.
We created the web site www.processingcities.org as a means to centralise information so that people can have one place to go to and find the essentials on who to contact and where to get further info on a city's events. The site is still a work in progress and we are invariably behind on adding things. Please be patient and please realise that we are not a promotional website.

Just received this SUCCESS STORY BELOW from a mom who is using my Power Struggles Video Class:
PLUS my Dial-A-Discipline Tool:
Candy · an hour ago ·
I have just finished all the way through the "8 Ways To Get Out of a Power Struggle". I have also been using the Dial-A-Discipline. One bit of information that really worked was the Broken Record. I used it with my two year old to get her to sit down and stop distracting others during church. I have also realized that getting attention is mostly where all of her misbehavior comes from. So I used the 4 steps to redirect attention. I didn't look at her or talk to her, summoned her to me with a hand signal, and began to give loving touch. That worked extremely well to calm her so I could start to train. Then when she wanted to get up to distract people, I determined that I would say, "Eden will learn to sit down," and then give her a kiss on the cheek and plop her gently down. When she started to get up, I would just repeat the same thing. Then I started to count. I thought, "Here we go," I was getting ready for 30 or 40 repetitions. It only took about 4 or 5 times. Mind you, I was doing this right in the middle of a small group that wanted the environment to be really quiet. I was simply whispering in her ear each time so I didn't even distract the group while disciplining. My husband has usually had to take over by talking out loud in a threatening way and disturbing the group, or one of us has had to take her completely out of the room. So these new techniques were great alternatives and improvements. When I left to nurse the baby, I gave Eden to my husband to sit on his lap. Then when I came back to the group, I gave someone else the baby and came right over to sit down on the seat that I had been training her to sit down on, and she put her head on my lap. Wow! My husband had been getting ready to take over like he usually does, but he could tell that what I was doing was working so he just left the situation alone and let me use these techniques. So glad I found these teachings.

12 Fantastic Holiday Gifts: Kitchen Tools For Foodies & Aspiring Chefs
Disclosure: Home & Plate is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Thank you for supporting my blog.
The holidays are right around the corner and I always struggle finding the right gift to give my foodie friends and aspiring chefs. Not this year! I've come up with 12 fantastic gifts that will make your time in the kitchen easier.
This Crock-Pot Smart Slow Cooker lets you fix it and forget it. All you need is your smart phone to check on dinner when you're not home. Adjust the temperature, the cooking time or switch the slow cooker to warm mode. You can even turn it off using your smart phone. How cool is that?
This Electric Air Fryer allows you to enjoy your favorite fried foods and snacks without the added calories from dunking the food in oil. What a great invention! Sold!
Have you heard of the Wonderbag Non-Electric Portable Slow Cooker? It's basically a portable slow cooker. No plugs. No electricity required. You simply bring your food to a boil on the stove let it simmer and then put the pot with the lid into the Wonderbag, close it tightly and it will slow cook to perfection for up to 12 hours. That's perfect for the holidays when you've been asked to bring a dish for dinner.
Cooking pasta, potatoes and vegetables just got a whole lot easier and safer with this 5-quart Pasta Pot . It's got a built-in strainer and a lock lid so you don't need a colander when it's time to drain. The price is fantastic!
If you cook with fresh herbs frequently then you'll want this Herb Stripper. It's perfect for woody stems like rosemary, thyme and tarragon. Just pull the herb through the hole to remove the herbs from the stem. It doesn't get much easier than that!
How many times have you boiled water only to have it spill onto your stove top creating a mess? This Spill Stopper is the perfect splatter guard and you never have to worry about pots boiling over again.
This is a must-have wine accessory. No more watered down white wine, champagne or Prosecco from melted ice cubes. These Iceless Wine Chillers are made from stainless steel and will keep your glass chilled without diluting your favorite beverage.
Keep your fingers intact and use this Mini Food Processor to chop ingredients for your recipes. It handles small jobs beautifully and is easy to clean. I love that it is small and compact and is easy to store when not in use.
Have you ever tried to make a five layer cake only to ruin it while you're trying to slice the layers. The Layer Cake Slicer Kit is the solution and must have gift for all the bakers on your list.
These Pizza Scissors are great for cutting and serving pizza and are so easy even the kids can use them. So functional and affordable!
Have you tried cutting corn off the cob only to have it go in every direction. This Corn Peeler is the answer. This peeler removes multiple rows of corn right from the corncob in a quick and easy motion.

The traditional song "Sweet and Low" is sung by Virginia Bruce in the picture. Monogram borrowed Bruce from M-G-M for this production, which was the actress' first film in two years. In 1932, Bruce married actor John Gilbert and quit acting after her performance in M-G-M's Konga (see below). In 1934, she divorced Gilbert and returned immediately to the screen. A Hollywood Reporter news item adds Doris Lloyd to the cast, but her participation in the final film has not been confirmed. Modern sources credit Abe Meyer with the film's musical direction. Modern sources also note that the film was shot in part at Sherwood Forest, CA. Many versions of Charlotte Bront's novel have been filmed, including a 1914 Whitman Features production, starring Lisbeth Blackstone and a 1918 Select Pictures film called Woman and Wife, directed by Edward Jos and starring Alice Brady and Elliott Dexter (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1911-20; F1.2264 and F1.5064); a 1921 Hugo Ballin production, directed by Ballin and starring Mabel Ballin (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1921-30; F2.2782); the well-known 1944 Fox version, directed by Robert Stevenson and starring Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles; and a 1971 British production, directed by Delbert Mann and starring Susannah York. Ethel Griffies played "Grace Poole" in both the 1934 and 1944 versions.
