WWE news: Chris Jericho pitched AWESOME SummerSlam dream match against top RAW star
CHRIS JERICHO revealed that he tried pitching an inter-promotional Intercontinental Champion vs Intercontinental Champion match against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam.
Chris Jericho pitched an inter-promotional match idea
Jericho has been working with New Japan Pro-Wrestling and became the IWGP Intercontinental Champion when he beat Tetsuya Naito at Dominion 6.9 two months ago.
According to Wrestling Inc, Y2J said during an edition of Talk Is Jericho that he pitched the idea of coming back for one more match to face WWE's Intercontinental Champion at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The first ever WWE Undisputed Champion said: "I placed a call to a certain head of a certain wrestling company, let's just leave it at that.
"I said I've got something for you. It's boffo box office. I said, what do you think about first-time Intercontinental Champion vs Intercontinental Champion Jericho vs Rollins?"
I said, what do you think about first-time Intercontinental Champion vs Intercontinental Champion Jericho vs Rollins
Jericho planned on being at the last episode of RAW before SummerSlam last week and thought it would be a good idea to attack Rollins to set up the dream match.
The six-time world champion also thought the match should have ended with some outside interference that would cause a disqualification.
Even though his idea got some some decent responses, the plans never took flight and Rollins faced Dolph Ziggler for the title instead.
Ziggler was the champion before SummerSlam as he won the belt from Rollins two months ago on RAW.
Seth Rollins won the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam
The Architect regained the gold at SummerSlam thanks to a little help from his Shield team-mate Dean Ambrose who had finally returned from an arm injury that ruled him out for eight months.
Ambrose took out the former champion's associate Drew McIntyre and then Rollins hit The Show-Off with a Curb Stomp for the pin.
The Lunatic Fringe and The Kingslayer have now reformed The Shield with Roman Reigns and are set for a dominant run on RAW.
Chris Jericho is the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion
Jericho's last WWE appearance took place at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia last April where he competed in the first ever 50-man over-the-top-rope-battle royal.
The ex-WWE Champion has been very active in Japan where he also faced IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega in an amazing match at Wrestle Kingdom 12.
The former World heavyweight Champion has also experienced success outside of the wrestling world with his heavy metal band Fozzy.
His autobiography books A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex, Undisputed: How to Become World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps, The Best in the World: At What I Have No Idea and No Is a Four-Letter Word: How I Failed Spelling but Succeeded in Life also made him a bestselling author.

In the last year, I found myself buying packs of canned salmon and tuna every Costco trip (my healthy Costco shopping list).
Technically, canned fish is real food. Yes, it is canned in BPA cans and processed but technically it just has been cooked and preserved with salt and water. So, in my books it is good food, that is perfect for making salads like tuna salad with avocado.
Good news is majority of canned salmon is wild, pink or sockeye, and is very affordable (sockeye is more money), especially at Costco. Like if you compare cost of canned salmon to fresh it is day and night. Plus, you get to eat bones, which are super soft and good for you.
In Ukraine, we always made meat and fish salads! Soups and salads, see the similarities? Because they are poor people's meals where you throw everything you have on hand and mix.
Almost anything will taste delicious mixed together, I swear.
This canned salmon salad recipe is light and crunchy, heavy on vegetables and healthy fats. I also added capers, a few tablespoons of avocado mayo and a bit of Greek yogurt.
The juices from salmon are added to the salad as well which leaves no waste and no need to add much more salt.
If you are looking for more salmon recipes, try my Thai salmon, baked salmon with cheese and lime ginger salmon.

*Uh oh, someone else is being accused of being an abusive man.
Dwayne Wade's reputation is now at the mercy of his ex-wife's tales of being beat while pregnant.
Siohvaughn Wade is claiming the father and pro-baller struck a blow at her while they were still dating at 15 years old.
"I was pregnant with Zion. Shortly before being hospitalized I was in Florida and I woke up in the middle of the night because I was sick, obviously with the pregnancy," Siohvaughn said in the in-depth interview. "I noticed that Mr. Wade wasn't in the house. I was calling him and calling him because it was probably like, two or three o' clock in the morning and we went to bed together which means he must have gotten up out of the bed and just left in the middle of the night without telling me."
She continued, saying when he returned several hours later, he turned angry on her, began to curse and eventually violent.
Siohvaughn says her ex-husband picked her up and threw her down on the bathroom floor.

"And in every place he abandons he leaves something vital, it
seems to me, and starts his new life somewhat less encrusted, like
a lobster that has shed its skin and is for a time soft and vulnerable."
-E.B. White, from "Goodbye to Forty-eighth Street"
Our apartment is empty and seems oddly smaller in size. The rooms I feared missing, the ones where we fell in love, made dinners, survived arguments, planned, laughed, and cried, don't look like ours anymore. Lifting the last of the boxes into the moving truck I realized that what made that apartment so much our home was not inside that building at all. Instead, there it was boxed up and packed tight amongst our furniture, right next to the most important part- sweaty, 6'2, smiling through the heat and grime, telling me that everything is going to be okay.

MAGAnomics – The first round of economic results from 2017 holiday sales are coming in and the results are incredible. Total holiday sales from November and December increased 5.5% over the prior year, that's a massive jump.
Keep in mind, two-thirds of GDP is attached to consumer spending. The spending jump to $692 billion will increase fourth quarter GDP growth when calculated.
(Via CNBC) Holiday sales jumped 5.5 percent compared with last year, marking the largest jump seen since the end of the Great Recession, the National Retail Federation said Friday.
Total sales for November and December were $691.9 billion, exceeding the industry trade group's forecast of between $678.75 billion and $682 billion, which would have been an increase of between 3.6 and 4 percent.
"We knew going in that retailers were going to have a good holiday season but the results are even better than anything we could have hoped for," NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said.
Economists and advisors had expected robust spending across the board due to strong employment and consumer confidence. However, many questioned exactly where that increased spending would go.
Over the holidays, the strongest performers were building materials and supply stores (8.1 percent growth ), furniture (7.5 percent growth) and electronics (6.7 percent growth). Clothing/accessories and health/personal care clocked in weaker growth, up 2.7 percent and 2.2 percent, respectively. (read more)

After a lot of time spent learning about the intricacies of the dashboard on the new website, I have now been able to expand the list of picture galleries, and I have some images on every gallery.
This is very time consuming due to my ignorance when it come to working with Wordpress, but I have made significant learning progress over the last couple of days, and the site content will continue to grow.
The next thing I'll be doing is getting captions onto the gallery images, but it will be a gradual process over a week or so. Also coming in the near future will be extra pages in the 'Designs' section.

Laser surgery uses laser light to remove diseased tissues or treat bleeding blood vessels. Laser surgery may also be used to restore the skin and reduce wrinkles, sunspots, tattoos, or birthmarks.
A laser is a light beam that can be focused on a very small area. The laser heats the cells in the area being treated until they "burst."
There are several types of lasers. Each laser has specific uses. The color of the light beam used is directly related to the type of surgery being performed and the color of the tissue being treated.
Possible risks of laser surgery include:
- Cold sores if herpes simplex virus is already present
- Bleeding
- Problem not going away
- Infection
- Pain
- Scarring
- Skin color changes
Some laser surgery is done when you are asleep and pain free (general anesthesia). Talk to your health care provider about risks of laser surgery.
After the Procedure
The success of laser surgery depends on the condition being treated. Talk to your provider about what you can expect.
Talk to your provider about skin care following treatment. You may need to keep your skin moisturized and out of the sun.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Recovery time depends on the surgery and your overall health. Ask your provider before treatment how much recovery time you will need. Also ask about how many treatments you'll need to achieve your goal.

The Health Benefits Of Tea
Tea is often seen from the outside as the staple of British life, and in most instances, it probably is.
Regardless of if the tea is "English Breakfast Tea" or green tea, it can be found in most people's cupboards – and this is fantastic news for our wellbeing, as tea is a fantastic antioxidant and contains lots of health boosting properties!
The antioxidant properties that tea contains are important primarily because they remove the toxins from our blood stream.
These toxins can be anything from environmental pollution to alcohol, and when they are present in our blood stream they can damage cells, leading to illnesses such as cancer.
This is not to say that tea is a cure for cancer at all, but theoretically eating and drinking things with antioxidant properties reduce the amount of toxins in our blood stream therefore reducing the chance of illness, much like when Beta Glucan activates the immune system it enables it to work at a higher level.
Antioxidants are also important in keeping your skin looking healthy.
It's hard to believe that many people spend lots of money on moisturisers and facial cleansers that claim to be able to reduce wrinkles and keep skin looking healthy, but are completely unaware that what they put into their bodies has a major effect too.
By flushing out all of the toxins from your skin, antioxidants can also make your skin look healthier and cleaner, preventing breakouts and leaving you with healthy looking skin.
Of course, tea also has other health benefits.
Green tea has been proven to help boost exercise endurance, can help fight free radicals (which can damage the bodies DNA), and can help to keep you hydrated.
There are also lots of different types of teas, particularly green teas that are mixed with other herbs that can help keep you awake, or even help you sleep.
It's an easy and inexpensive habit to pick up, so why not grab a cup of tea, it's good for you.

Disney's internationally-acclaimed musical The Lion King has astounded over 51 million people around the world, and is the resident show at Sands Theater at Marina Bay Sands.Day: Sunday (Somewhere in August 2011)Time: 1400hoursSeating: B ReserveTicket Pricing: $165
Discover Disney's landmark musicalExperience the heart-warming tale of Simba and his epic transformation from wide-eyed cub to King of the Pridelands. Brilliantly reimagined by acclaimed director Julie Taymor, The Lion King explodes with glorious colors, stunning effects and Elton John and Tim Rice's Academy Award-winning song 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'. Winner of over 70 major international awards, The Lion King has captivated over 51 million people worldwide."Experience for yourself this 'astonishing triumph of theatrical imagination'". - London Evening Standard"A royal treat on stage." - The Straits TimesAddress:Grand Theater at Marina Bay SandsDescriptionA lively stage adaptation of the Academy Award-winning 1994 Disney film, The Lion King is the story of a young lion prince living in the flourishing African Pride Lands. Born into the royal family, precocious cub Simba spends his days exploring the sprawling savanna grasslands and idolizing his kingly father, Mufasa, while youthfully shirking the responsibility his position in life requires. When an unthinkable tragedy, orchestrated by Simba's wicked uncle, Scar, takes his father's life, Simba flees the Pride Lands, leaving his loss and the life he knew behind. Eventually companioned by two hilarious and unlikely friends, Simba starts anew. But when weight of responsibility and a desperate plea from the now ravaged Pride Lands come to find the adult prince, Simba must take on a formidable enemy, and fulfill his destiny to be king. A vibrant and exciting tale from the great creatives at Disney, The Lion King is a story of love and redemption that nobody should miss.Should I See It?What is The Lion King Like?With a pulsing spectacle driven by primal African rhythms, unforgettable tunes (including Elton John and Tim Rice's Oscar-winning "Can You Feel the Love Tonight") and a jaw-dropping display of exotic African wildlife brought to life onstage, there are good reasons whyThe Lion King won a half-dozen Tony Awards in 1998. Intensely physical stage work and countless visual surprises hold your attention from start to finish.Is The Lion King Good for Kids?
Simba's creepy journey into an elephant graveyard and the death of his father can be as unsettling to young viewers as they were in the original film, but if your brood can handle the movie, there's no reason not to see it live. You can bet your bottom dollar on Disney's reliably family friendly fare.Personal Review:I have always been a huge Disney fan and will never fail to miss any of the great productions that had been highly acclaimed and gushed about by several many others. When my family got the tickets for this landmark musical event, I was excited beyond words. This would be my first musical event I ever caught in my hometown, Singapore. Expectations were set high as this multi-award-winning musical adaptation of Disney favourite "Lion King" has finally reached the shores of Singapore. Performing in Southeast Asia for the first time after touring the world over 13 years, Singapore's Marina Bay Sands is the proud new 'home' of the Lion King produced Disney's Theatrical Productions and Base Entertainment.
In my opinion, I was a tad disappointed as the costumes was ordinary and the cast's performance was somewhat below expectations. The only impressive performance was surprisely not from "Simba" or "Nala" but rather the wise old Rafiki. In this production, it was a "she" though and her voice was powerful, strong and clear. Her singing brought about nostalgic tribual
emotions and feeling across the theatre to the audience. Other than that, honestly I find this musical event kind of draggy as compared to the broadway shows I have watched in London. I will only recommend it a 7 out of 10 but this production would somehow appeal to perhaps teenagers. Overall, would still a good eye opener for them if they do not have a chance to watch such events overseas.Who is this character, Rafiki?Rafiki is a mandrill-baboon hybrid who lives in a baobab tree and is old and wise. He performs activities which are oftenshamanistic. He tends to speak in third person when speaking of himself. Rafiki's character often serves as the visual narrator of the story of The Lion King. Robert Guillaume voices Rafiki in the three films.

I've also noticed that both writing these post and my attempts at poetry and lyrics help me gain new knowledge about myself and my subjects.
I wrote a set of lyrics using a phrase that I heard my wife say.
When we watch the weather forecast on the local television station she would say to me or our kids (when they were older) "Just once I'd like to hear the weatherman say 'It's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock.'"
Now growing up in the country I know exactly what that phrase looks and sounds like so immediately it creates a pretty strong image in my head. We had a house on farm land that my grandfather owned. He leased this land to the farmer who owned the adjacent land and had a herd of milk cows. So I was pretty familiar with cows and their habits when I was growing up.
Anyway I find it to be witty and catchy, so I thought it would make a great hook.
I started out by writing the chorus lyrics since that was the hook. From those lines I determined the song is about someone having trouble in their life and it just keeps pouring down on them.
Next I thought well who or what story would have trouble just being dumped on them. What popped into my head was Job from the Bible.
There are books in the Old Testament that I really enjoy such as Proverbs, Psalms, Ecclesiastes and Job.
So I thought Job, let's tell the story of Job in the first voice.
First I wanted to make sure I understood to the best of my ability what the book is about. Up to this point I had read the book maybe three times. I knew it dealt with bad things happening to a good man for no apparent reason. But I never had an "ah ha" moment where I thought I understood it on a gut level.
I started researching and the more I researched and read various thoughts and interpretations of the book and its meaning, the more the story and lyrics formed in my head.
When I was done I had a set of lyrics or a poem I was pretty well pleased with and a much better understanding of the book of Job. I think the last lines sum up my feelings on the book.
"When it's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock
And all you seem to have is nothing but bad luck
Times may get better your doom in not set
It may be that God and Satan just have a bet"
It also gave me a better understanding of a piece of my spiritual life.
The same thing happens sometimes when I sit down and write out these posts. Sometimes I find that the conclusions (unplanned and not preconceived) I come to are very enlightening for me.
I'm not saying that they'll have this kind of impact on others but on me and that's why I do this, for me. Not in a selfish way but in a way that relaxes and expands my thinking, even at my age.

Hi there!
I'm Tylah Kapa, a game developer from Gisborne, New Zealand living in Brisbane, Australia!
There's nothing that I would love more than to have people play games I've worked on and come away from it thinking "That was awesome!".
To me, the best story is presented, yet untold. Pieces left behind for a community of passionate people to find and place together. Watching stories like this come together, seeing the story grow only bigger with each piece of evidence truly excites me. I would love to write some of the lore for a world like this at some point in the future, perhaps for my own game.

As you know, at Love Lula we are passionate advocates of beauty coming from within. This is about who we are but also what we eat too.
Viridian's Hyaluronic Acid supplement has been getting some great feedback as an anti aging supplement after approx 60 days use.
Hyaluronic Acid is naturally found in skin and is key to helping the skin retain its moisture levels and to nourish collagen, which gives skin its firmness.
Hyaluronic Acid binds to water so keeps the skin hydrated and wrinkle - free (this is an excellent supplement if your skin is always dehydrated even though you drink lots of water).
It acts as a space filler in the skin's dermal layers between skin cells and produces a long lasting skin enhancement which leaves skin soft, smooth and elastic.

On November 1, 2017, New Jersey's new law raising the age for purchasing tobacco products and electronic smoking devices from 19 to 21 takes effect. Raising the minimum age to 21 helps protect New Jersey youth from the deadly effects of tobacco use.
New Jersey is the third state in the nation to raise the smoking-purchase age to 21 following Hawaii and California. Approximately 13.5% of New Jersey adults between ages 18 and 24 smoke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). About 11,800 adults die annually in this state from smoking-related illnesses.
Governor Christie has made reducing tobacco use a part of his anti-addiction initiatives. He has stated that by raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to 21, young people have more time to develop a maturity and better understanding of how dangerous smoking can be.
For more information about the new law and about New Jersey's Tobacco Control Program, visit the Department of Health website at http://nj.gov/health/fhs/tobacco/. Other helpful resources about tobacco use include Tobacco-Free for a Healthy New Jersey at http://www.tobaccofreenj.com/, and the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/index.htm.

Everytime I watch this video I get something more from it.
Enjoy, CTK
Bump this.
Watch this:
Read this:
"It does not hit." Flow state. Higher consciousness. 10'000 hours.
And then I realized this is what I've been waiting for. A way to express myself. A way to move without the confines of a robotic system – instead a signpost to point the possibilities.
The personal expression of a system takes years. Gladwell's 10'000 hours might be right but not when it comes to the intricacies of Kung-Fu. Even with a principle-based martial art such as Wing Chun there are too many permutations and combinations of events that can occur. 10'000 hours for the punch. 10'000 hours for the kick. And so on. It all adds up and there is no easy way to go about it.
Wong Shun Leung the 'Jum' guy. Ip Man the 'Pak and Lop' guy. It makes sense.
And then after a skill is mastered, the ability for it to be expressed fully, without constraint or restrictions, must take many more hours of diligent practice.
The interesting bit, perhaps, is the fact that the flow state comes out of thin air – yet the foundation of mindful practice is the only way to pave that road.
Ramblings of neurons firing in my mind.
I was thinking the same thing myself while the heavy bag swung in my basement between strikes.
The sky is clear tonight. The moon, a sliver, dancing with the Big Dipper.
I warmed up with the traditional forms. It takes me about 15 minutes to run through them all with my incense burning. I put on Labcabincalifornia and snuffed the incense. Hand wraps on followed by my gloves: punching and kicking ensued.
I followed up the heavy bag workout with straight punching and rubber band work.
Cooled down with Heaven and Earth Sinawali.
I talked with Roger last week and he told me, "Whatever you teach me I have to be able to practice it alone." I smiled – a big smile and said, "We're same."
So Roger and Tom and HDS and I and others will go on training by ourselves and from time to time we'll hook up for a share. And when I'm by myself training alone in the country, I'll look up at the same stars you do, perhaps even at the same time, and I won't feel so alone.
Sitting slouched on a dining room chair, legs stretched forwards. Head down. Trying to figure out a way around a dilemma I seem to face frequently, lack of people to train with. On the upside, it has me brainstorming ways of mimicking opponents with the paraphernalia that I have, such as a wooden dummy, heavy bags and resistance bands. Sore from yesterday's training sessions, exacerbated by the drills I did at home this afternoon. But not so spent that I won't do my second training session this evening. We plan. We do what we can. Overall, I'm happy; planning and doing.
Could use a cup of tea and some chocolate biscuits.
This whole week I have been receiving text messages from friends saying, "Are you stoked to fight next week?" It's hard for me to respond in texts.
I am a predator. I am the one you are preparing for in your self defense classes. My mindset is not to see if I can do this, I am not fighting for some mystical cause, all I will do is to inflict maximum damage and subject my opponent to a level of violence that he has never felt before. I will expose him to pain and break his will so that he will make mistakes that will allow me to finish the fight. Every time a spark of doubt arises inside me I extinguish it by training and perfecting my techniques that will allow me to win. Some say, "Train smarter, not harder." Bullshit. Do both. Do more.
Fighting is complex in the sense of the scope of what you need to know. This is not a sport where you come off the street and expect to learn everything in a few months(like so many seem to think), there is only one way to adequately prepare yourself. Action. Fighting is simple in the sense that you don't need to do anything more then punch him in the face. People seem to forget the simplicity of it.
My confidence is bred in a real place. Success in sparring and competition. My training regime is simple. Learn techniques that are suited for my body structure and drill them until my training partner is bored of me doing it. I take those techniques and practice them in sparring. Next Friday those sparring sessions and repetitions in the gym will allow me to flow. My mind is clear. Jediesque. I have one goal. Break his will to be in there with me. Make him realize he made a mistake and there is no time left to correct it.
I know he has seeds of doubt planted in his head by poor choices he has made. I know he had a baconator last week. How did that effect his training session for the day? Did he get his max reps in? I did. I am willing to bet he bought the new Call of Duty, Battlefield 3 and/or Skyrim. These games came out after we agreed to fight. I didn't get the games, I was training. He might reason that he played at night before bed. I was watching training videos of seminars I have attended, absorbing techniques and theories. I doodled and made pictures. I took notes. I was sitting in the hot bathtub acclimatizing my body so that I will sweat more when I need to cut weight and make it easier on myself. I was reading. I didn't go out with my friends. I said no to drinking. I said no to drugs. I said no to fast food. I said no to meals that weren't prepared by my own hands. I said no to distractions. My real friends understand that I have a goal that I wish to accomplish and they don't distract me from it. They encourage me to keep going, telling me that I am doing the right things. I thank them for this. I educated myself on proper nutrition and I followed the diet I have laid out for myself. I was strict when there was no need to be and it has made it easier now when it is the most important time to be strict. I want it more.
The footage of me fighting that he will have found is very old. Countless hours, countless repetitions, and countless rounds sparring have taken place since then. If I fight like that again and repeat the same mistakes I deserve to lose, but I won't. Funny thing is I have the password for those You Tube accounts. If I didn't want him to see those videos he wouldn't have. I am a different animal now. I hope he trained for that boy in the videos because when he sees the man standing across from him he will realize what happened and the seeds of doubt planted in his mind will be watered by his poor choices. I am the sun and I will allow those seeds to grow and flourish. I made better choices and it has allowed me to remain calm and focused on the task at hand.
I know what the future holds for me. Victory. The only unknown to me is if the referee will raise my right hand or my left. So much I want to say but all I respond with is, "Yes, I am stoked and I am ready".

Friends come and go. Relationships yield love and hate. Teachers change.
Move to different houses, different communities, different parts of the country.
In sickness and in health. In summer and in winter. In a kwoon, in a garage, in my basement.
It follows me wherever I go. Part of my soul, my being, my breath. The most inexpensive of all activities – the only cost is my unwavering energy towards it.
And through all the ups and downs, it has remained constant: Kung-Fu training.
And with this knowledge Kung-Fu will allow me to rebuild my esteem, drag me from the depths of hell, pull me from the well of depression, silence the demons in my mind, kindle new friendships through training and give me a creative outlet to blow off my anger, frustration and hate to improve my relationships.

You have to keep in mind that in those days nobody really knew television. Everybody was flying by the seat of their pants.From his earliest days in show business Chuck had met and apprenticed with master puppeteer Paul Ashley, who was an instrumental part of many early children's and adult television shows.
A flyer for the team of Paul Ashley and Chuck McCann, who played many venues together before teaming up on TV. Ashley's skill at both caricature (Laurel and Hardy, Jackie Gleason and Art Carney as Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton and Ed Sullivan are a few that can be seen here) and original creations left an indelible impression on this author's early years and has fostered a life-long love of the art of puppetry. Largely forgotten, Paul Ashley's work in early television deserves a critical study. Image from Chuck McCann's Let's Have Fun! Scrapbook, as are most of the other Chuck-related pictures here.
One of Paul Ashley's puppets starred in an early TV show from 1950-1954. Rootie Kazootie was popular enough to star in several Dell comic books in that same period. Rootie Kazootie (Four Color) # 415, August 1952. Writer unknown, Dan Gormley art. Image from Comic Book Plus.
Chuck's first foray in a starring role on television (accompanied by Paul Ashley and his puppets) was as host of The Puppet Hotel, a short-lived program on WNTA-TV, Channel 13 (precursor to what would become public television station WNET) that ran from November 28, 1959 until January 16, 1960.
When offered a contract to work at WPIX Chuck came up with the idea for a show. A huge fan of the comedy team Laurel and Hardy since he was a child (he had been in contact with Stan Laurel since he was 12 years old) he suggested a program where he hosted their films, using segments with puppets to round-out the show. WPIX had been using the shorts in rain delays or when they had to fill time before their next program on New York Yankees broadcasts; later on they employed the Abbott and Costello Show in the same manner (many of us are familiar with the announcer stating: "We now join Abbott and Costello, already in progress.."). Laurel and Hardy and Chuck debuted on September 7, 1960 - which initiated nearly a decade of tomfoolery with Chuck at the helm.
Chuck holding the brilliant craftsmanship of Paul Ashley in his hands. Chuck did the voices of both Stan and Ollie in-between segments of the boys films. According to Chuck, Stan Laurel was pleased that the team was being introduced to a new audience on television.
Chuck was soon asked to host another program on Sunday mornings to compete with Sonny Fox's popular Wonderama on rival network WNEW channel 5. Let's Have Fun was first broadcast on September 18, 1960 and would run FOUR hours live, with segments featuring cartoons (Popeye, Superman); classic comedy (The Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello and, of course, Laurel and Hardy) and Serials such as Flash Gordon) giving the host a break between comedy sketches and puppetry. It was a grueling work-load but Chuck was a performer up to the task and Let's Have Fun quickly became a ratings success.
A fortuitous event opened up another avenue for the comedian to experiment with, as Chuck recounts in his book:
Then, one day in 1962, I was blessed when I learned that the Daily News - which was the parent company that owned the station I was working for - was going on strike. Since the paper had the rights to use strips that appeared in the Sunday "funnies", the idea came that I could read them on the air and keep our viewers up to date on what their favorite characters were doing, just as Mayor LaGuardia had done on radio during a newspaper deliverymen's strike in 1945.
New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia (1934-1945) read the comics on his WNYC Talk of the People radio show in July, 1945, which inspired Chuck to do the same on Television almost two decades later.
Since television is a visual medium Chuck decided to dress up as some of the characters he was reading, including "Dick Tracy', "Little Orphan Annie" and "Dondi". For "Terry and the Pirates Chuck opted not to caricature the strips hero but instead parodied his femme fatale nemesis, the Dragon Lady. Well, not exactly. Chuck thought THAT would stretch credibility a little too far, so he created the Dragon Lady's mother!
Chuck surrounded by Channel 11's line-up of kid's show hosts: Captain Jack McCarthy (top); Officer Joe Bolton (right) and Bozo the Clown (Bill Britten)Chuck departed Let's Have Fun and WPIX in August, 1965 due to managerial interference. Without skipping a beat he moved to WNEW-Channel 5 in September of that year. The Chuck McCann Show aired weekdays and Saturdays with the same basic format until September 9, 1966. The format changed to once again spotlight Chuck's favorite comedians as Chuck McCann's Laurel and Hardy Show and ran until June 9, 1966. While he worked on other children's programs from time to time, Chuck became a versatile performer, appearing as a character actor in movies and on countless television shows, doing commercials and utilizing his mimicry and vocal skills for Saturday morning cartoons and animated features.
In 1994-95 Chuck provided the voice of the Thing for the animated Fantastic Four cartoon, which included an adaptation of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Galactus story-line. Page from Fantastic Four # 48, March 1966. Joe Sinnott inks, Artie Simek lettering.For over five decades Chuck McCann gave children a reason to smile and never appeared to lose the child in himself, which is an accomplishment in itself. By all accounts he was a kind and gentle soul, which came through in his on-screen persona. Chuck McCann died on April 8th 2018, at the age of 83. For the majority of those years he put on a happy face for all the world to enjoy.

U.S. officials have warned for many years that cybercrime is one of the greatest threats facing the nation, and now financial advisers have to face the reality that their businesses are also vulnerable to digital attacks.
News headlines regularly carry stories of broker-dealers and advisers increasingly being targeted by sophisticated hackers aiming for clients' personal information and funds. Wealth managers also are getting more attention from regulators, which are fining financial firms that fail to be mindful of cybersecurity, including all the actions of their employees and third-party partners.

5/1 I heard so much feminist propaganda growing up I kinda thought PMS was kin of a joke, or just caused by cramps or something. I was completely wrong. I swear, every month, a few days before her period starts, it's crazy time at my house. It's unbelievable. Anything, or even nothing, will set her off on some crazy emotional bender. \_ Good I'm not the only one. My world is a (*#&@(*$@ 2-3 days out of a month. I really hate it. Sometimes I just want to kill myself. Actually I just want to kill myself now. I do nothing, and she bitches. I do something, and she bitches. It's non-stop bullshit. This is torture. \_ Yes, I notice my normally calm and even-tempered girlfriend gets edgy and temperamental on that cycle, too. Not so bad as your woman, though. \_ My girlfriend normally has a fiery temper, but around that time it gets worse and she gets mean, too. She doesn't take birth control pills. Are those supposed to help? I am curious if either of your girlfriends take them. \_ BC pills stop the PMS, but also tend to dampen overall sexual desire, in my observations. \_ i made a student cry in class yesterday and i suspect this is why since i barely said anything critical. \_ I make it a point of knowing my wife's menstrual cycle so I can avoid unnecessary drama and conflict. Of course, it also helps not to stop midfight and say something dumb like, oh, you're having PMS right now, aren't you? Don't ever, ever do that. \_ i disagree. sometimes my girlfriend forgets she's pms'ing and asking/reminding can illustrate the irrationality of an argument and help diffuse it. use with caution. \_ I shoulda put a YMMV in there. Agreed with the caution part. \_ Every smart man knows that the best time to avoid conflict is to do some manly project in the garage. Women hate garages. Garages smell and are a site for women's sore eyes. Oh and ignorant statement supported by _/ incorrect use of colloquialism. after hiring people for a while, I no longer hire women. Drama and unpredictability reduce productivity. Call me a sexist and what not, but it's something effective managers know about but can't talk about because it's just unPC these days. \_ You're an idiot and a sexist, and if your identity and practices ever get out, you're putting your company at risk for discriminatory hiring practices. \_ Actually, I think you're probably an idiot too.

5/1 http://tinyurl.com/c83tl4 (link fixed, sorry. forbes) Obama administration screws DC school kids. (in his defense, it is not clear that he really knows what the Sec. of Edu is doing, that he had anything to do with holding up study till after the vote, etc. Still, it seems that my hope that Obama may pull an "Only Nixon can go to China" on our broken EDU system, is way in vain. \_ Link is wrong. \_ Forbes + voucher op eds = untrustworthy data \_ the study they are referencing was done by the Dept. of Edu. Think they have a pro-voucher bias? -top \_ A less biased article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/03/AR2009040302987.html Students from the lowest-performing schools didn't improve reading skills with vouchers. There was no difference in math skills. The expected behavior with vouchers is that kids with supportive parents who have some money will use the vouchers--of course you're going to get cherry-picking effects. That doesn't mean it's a good idea. -tom \_ The Swedes have vouchers but no cherry picking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/3717744.stm \_ "However she does point to reports from the Swedish National Agency for Education which warn that it is mostly better-educated, middle-class parents who take advantage of the right to choose schools. " (From the same article). Plus, Sweden does not allow private schools to charge more than the voucher cost. It's not an analagous system. -tom \_ I don't see how that fact that better-educated middle class parents excercise a choice outside the state system more than others is a condemnation of the program. If it works it works, and people have the option to use it. It might be relevant to ask why other parents aren't using the system. I see no reason in the Swedish system that everyone couldn't use it. \_ I'm not saying it's inherently a bad idea, I'm just pointing out that there are cherry-picking effects, so you can't just compare the test scores. If the US voucher system were implemented like Sweden's, it might make sense. But when private schools charge 2-3 times what it costs to educate a kid in public school (what happened to the great efficiency of private industry, anyway?), vouchers don't provide real choice to the students who need it; they just pull money away from the schools which need it most and give it to wealthy private institutions. -tom

I've had a revelatory few days regarding my ongoing pursuit of learning Korean. Although progressing steadily anyway, something must have clicked because the language has suddenly snapped into focus and months of fragments have pieced together to create a clear, and rather wonderful, picture.
Ok, so don't assume anything near decently conversational yet, but last night with the Gin Girls was perhaps by best evening of Korean speaking yet. Learning Korean is like climbing a gigantic mountain, perpetually shrouded in heavy fog so that you never really know how far up you are, only that it's very steep. But sometimes you reach a certain peak and the mist clears from below, and you get a fabulous view of what you have already climbed. The last few days have seen me climbing particularly fast as I've gone into 5th gear with my studies and the view is great.
It was the first time I'd seen the Gin Girls in a couple of weeks, due to the Chuseok break. I met them after work, so I was pretty fatigued, but somehow sensed that I'd gained a lot of understanding in that time. And it turned out to be the best lesson we'd had.
It wasn't even a lesson, actually. Usually we'll have a fragmented chat on what we've been doing before having to use the book we study from. But yesterday the chat just kept going and, aside from taking a few notes on new words, it was more just like we were talking. It was mostly all done in Korean, but for one of the first time, I was able to say just about everything I wanted to. It was a very good feeling - perhaps like hauling myself up a vertical surface to find a pleasant gentle downwards slope to stroll along.
Even better is this coming Friday. The Gin Girls, perhaps subconsciously aware of their name, have invited me out for drinks. This is at a bar called AU, downtown, a new, spacious and well-atmosphered bar that I've been to a number of occasions. This must be my prime opportunity to lather them with alcohol (namely gin cocktails) before sending them into a world of sin.
Despite my dreadfully ignoble intentions, the Gin Girls have been very productive for my Korean. I can still remember out first few meetings, about three months ago, in which my Korean was sparse and proceedings were conducted in English. Now it's majority Korean.
I have a long way to go before being any good at Korean, but I have some very solid foundations under me now. Learning Korean is perhaps the best thing I've done in Korea and I don't think it an exaggeration to describe it as one of most satisfying experiences of my life. Whereas once, taxi drivers (for example) would ask me a simple question and I would have to respond with an apologetic noise, now I understand and can begin a usually very amusing and patchy conversation. I think I'm beginning to reach the stage where a lot of my learning will be done, not just by self-study, but by interaction. And that, it is certain, is the whole purpose of learing a language: to interact.
So today I am in a good mood. Not just from the prospect of corrupting two sweet Korean girls, but from the sense of achievement of having really learned something.
And now the bell has gone and it is time for me to pass that sense of achievement into the hearts and minds of some very restless 4-year-olds.

M. Anantanarayanan, O.C.J.
1. It is sufficient to deal with this revision proceeding within a restricted compass. The first ground on which the revision proceeding is pressed, viz., that the application in the Revenue Court for the eviction of the cultivating tenant (revision petitioner) was first heard by one officer, then by his successor, again subsequently by the first officer, so that there has been a change in the personnel of the officer presiding over the Revenue Court, which disentitles either officer to make a final order, is without substance. The argument may conceivably have some force, if the Madrs Cultivating Tenants' Protection Act (1955) and the Rules framed thereunder in 1955, were wholly without a provision for a contingency of this character. On the contrary, Rule 8(i) of the Rules framed under the Act by G.O. No. 66c,, Revenue, dated 13th February, 1956, specifically declared that:
Every Court constituted under the Act shall have the powers exercisable by a civil Court in the trial of suits.
2. That attracts the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code and the relevant Orders, and, we have specific provision in Older 18, Rule 15(1), Civil Procedure Code, for the successor of a Judge who is prevented by death, transfer or other cause from conducting the trial of a suit, not merely to validly proceed with the action, but also to deal with the evidence recorded by the predecessor. Since this rule applies, there has been no irregularity in the trial of the eviction petition, which would justify interference in revision.
3. But it appears to me that the other ground on which the revision is pressed is substantial, and will have to succeed. On this aspect, we have to take the facts as rendered evident, in the record, which is conclusive. The learned Revenue Divisional Officer states that time was granted to the revision petitioner for payment of arrears of rent' on or before 5th March, 1965 ', failing which the eviction was to be directed. On 5th March, 1965 itself, the Court made an order for eviction, and the record shows that the name of the tenant was called in Court ' at about 5 p.m.' and he was found absent. Nor was he represented by anyone. The precise point came up for consideration before Natesan, J., in Ganapathy Padayachi v. Dharmapuram Mutt (1965) 2 M.L.J. 14. The learned Judge referred to Janakumara Nainar v. Periaswamy Goundan and Ors. : (1948)2MLJ368 M. Ct. Muthiah v. Deputy Controller of Estate Duty, Madras : (1964)1MLJ279 which itself followed Perumal Nadan v. Sivamanji Nadachi I.L.R.(1916) Mad. 583 Muthu Chettiar v. Narayana Chettiar 55 M.L.J. 274 : I.L.R.(1927) Mad. 672 and Chinniah Chettiar v. T. Kumaraswamiah : (1933)64MLJ431 . The broad principle is that where a Court fixes a date for the fulfilment of a certain condition the person on whom that obligation is imposed will have the whole of that day for complying with that order. It is true that the name of the revision petitioner was called ' at about 5 p.m.'. But, that does not necessarily imply that he could not have still complied with the earlier direction to deposit or pay the arrears on that date. Of course, if the Court had made the order on the next day (6th March, 1965), the order will be unassailable. Under the circumstances, I am constrained to allow the revision, and to set aside the order of eviction. But, as it is not clear to me that the revision petitioner paid the arrears of rent, or offered to do so even immediately thereafter, I think that the proceeding will have to be allowed with costs of the respondent.

Dubai International is the Middle East's leading hub and second largest worldwide for international passenger traffic, providing consumers with unparalleled network reach and choice.The airport is home to more than 140 airlines serving some 260 destinations on six continents, providing consumers with unparalleled network reach and choice and is home to Emirates airline, one of the world's leading international carriers. The size and scale of the operation is matched by the quality of infrastructure, which is highlighted by the award-winning Emirates Terminal 3 and the recently opened Concourse A.
Despite the size of the operation and rapid traffic growth, service remains a high priority and Dubai International is uniquely able to benefit from the unified and co-ordinated approach across the sector under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Airports, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman and CEO of Emirates Group.
All major stakeholders and their employees are united in the pursuit of a common goal – to better the social and economic standing of Dubai by providing high-quality products and service, which in turn will grow the industry.
Aviation supported some 250,000 jobs (19 per cent of Dubai's workforce) and $22 billion (28 per cent of GDP) in 2010. That is set to grow to 22 per cent of employment, or 372,900 jobs, and 32 per cent of GDP, or $45.4 billion, by 2020. This in turn cements aviation's importance and fuels the sector's commitment to providing top-flight products and services.
Accordingly, the company strives for top scores with its principal internal customers as part of an integrated and holistic approach to improving the overall customer experience. That includes all 140 client airlines, ground services provider data, Customs and Immigration, Dubai Duty Free and other retailers, Dubai
Police and, ultimately, every single one of the 57.7 million passengers who passed through Dubai International's three terminals in 2012.
During 2012 Dubai Airports undertook of one of the largest service measurement projects at any airport in the world. A large sum has been invested into a technical system that will integrate a series of what are known as customer 'touchpoints'. This system will enable Dubai Airports to more accurately plan the deployment of operational resources to ensure that passengers are efficiently processed at each touchpoint in the series.
Once this is implemented – and it is hoped all high-priority areas will be online by 2013 – it will allow Dubai Airports to respond proactively in managing queuing times at key touchpoints such as check-in and security. Such intelligence is vital to ensure the best customer care in a dynamic environment and will afford the service department a large advantage.
During the period under review, Dubai Airports continued its aggressive service innovation programme, including several new technologies and systems that either improved processing time at key touchpoints or helped passengers navigate their way through Dubai International.
Virtual Assistants
During 2012 Dubai Airports introduced the next generation of interactive 'virtual assistants', which are able to respond to passengers' queries for information in English and Arabic.
The new technology is a world first for Dubai International and an upgrade to the virtual assistants introduced in 2011. The new virtual assistants are programmed to answer frequently asked questions such as the location of departure gates, washrooms and check-in areas, rather than just providing a static message.
The state-of-the-art assistants, which use the very latest in rear-projected audio visual technology to create the illusion of a real person, have been deployed across the airport.
Augmented Baggage Scanning Machines
Following a successful trial of new automated tray return machines at security points in Terminal 3, Dubai Airports decided to purchase 116 of the new machines, which will be installed across Dubai International during 2013.
The machines automatically circulate and queue the security trays, allowing quicker passage of passengers through the security check points and increasing by 42 per cent the number of passengers that be processed per hour from the current 280 to 400.
Not only will trays be always available to passengers approaching security points, but the screening tables on either end will be extended to allow them more time to prepare for baggage screening. This will ensure a steady flow of trays through the x-ray machines, eliminating delays.
The trays are also sized closer to the x-ray image size, allowing a greater volume of bags and personal items to be scanned in each tray while providing security personnel with better quality images.
Silent Airport
In 2012 Dubai International continued the implementation of its 'silent airport' concept. The programme dramatically curtails the number of public announcements made across all three terminals at the world's second busiest airport for international passenger traffic.
Dubai Airports, along with its strategic partners and valued passengers, have witnessed a major drop of 85 per cent in the noise level at all terminals since June 2010 with the introduction of the new Public Announcement Policy in terms of the silent airport concept. The number of announcements has dropped 22.8 per cent over the past two years, from 205,456 in 2010 to 167,263 in 2012.
At the same time Dubai Airports has enhanced the quality and presentation of data on flight information display screens located throughout the airport. Airline and airport 'May I Help You' staff are also actively reminding passengers to arrive at their gate on time.
Local announcement devices have been withdrawn from all areas across all terminals except in transfer areas where they are used during disruptions to normal flight schedules.
Info Zones
During 2012 Dubai International's traditional information desks were replaced with state-of-the-art Information Zones, a one-stop shop that instantly provides information on all the airport's services and facilities as well as assists with boarding and security procedures. The zones house wayfinding touchscreens in addition to staff trained to deal with all passenger queries.
The 40-inch LCD touchscreens used in the Information Zones boast new technology that allows passengers to scan their boarding passes and get directions directly to their gate. The simple-to-use screens allow those passengers with even the most basic computer skills to navigate them with ease.
The Information Zones also have new static maps where passengers can familiarise themselves with the layout of the terminals and locate all retail, food and beverage and entertainment services. Printed map cards are available at these kiosks, which passengers can take away with them.
In addition to the Information Zones, separate touchscreens and terminal maps have been installed at standalone kiosks located across the airport property.
May I Help You
May I Help You is an initiative that aims to assist passengers from the moment they set foot in the terminal, all the way through to the boarding gate. Originally launched in 2008, MIHY service has become a permanent fixture and a global benchmark. Wearing the distinctive 'May I Help You' blue T-shirt, the staff have been trained to assist with everything from directions to key airport procedures. More than 850 May I Help You staff are now deployed across the airport.
Simple, easy-to-understand signage is fundamental to passengers navigating their way through an airport the size of Dubai International. Based on this simple premise and industry best practice, Dubai Airports last year introduced a new alpha-numeric system for gate numbering and wayfinding at the airport.
The change impacted everything from flight information display screens to boarding cards and airport reservation systems, and required that more than 750 signs be changed.
While Dubai International terminals retain their current numbering, all concourses and their corresponding departure gates were renamed.
Concourse 1, which houses over 100 international airlines, became Concourse C with gates numbered C1 to C50. Concourse 2 became Concourse B with gates B1 to B32, and Concourse 3 became Concourse A, featuring gates A1 to A24. On the other side of the airfield, gates in Terminal 2 have been numbered F1 to F6. The remaining alpha numeric sequences are being reserved for future airport facilities that are part of the Dubai Airports' $7.8 billion expansion programme, including Concourse D, for which excavation work commenced in June 2012.
The updating and conversion of existing signage was the first phase of a longer-term project. With Concourse A now open, a second round of upgrading, which will feature the use of colour-coding and internationally recognised icons in addition to the use of alpha-numeric gate numbering to further simplify the wayfinding process, will be rolled out in 2013.
In a bid to improve service to its customers, Dubai Airports has converted its cargo division into a 24- hour, seven-days-a-week operation.
New food and beverage facilities were also introduced at Dubai Cargo & Logisitics centre to provide its customers with a greater level of choice. Dubai Airports has also made significant progress in finalising new service standards with key stakeholders Emirates airlines and dnata.
Al Majlis VIP Service
In October 2012, Al Majlis, Dubai Airports' VIP passenger service, opened its new, modern facility in Dubai International's Terminal 3, providing a more central location, making connecting either to a commercial or private flight far more convenient.
The new facility is also able to better accommodate big groups with three large lounges in addition to six smaller, more intimate lounge spaces. The building has been given a fresh, more modern look while retaining all the comfort and service that customers have come to expect from Al Majlis.
While part of Terminal 3, Al Majlis will remain an exclusive service that adheres to the same privacy and security levels that were available in the past.
Launched in 1998, Al Majlis helps VIPs, celebrities, corporate groups and families ensure all travel formalities including check in, immigration and baggage are handled by a personal assistant. It co-ordinates airport and hotel transfers, limousine pick-up and drop off between aircraft and the VIP facility, special limousine door-step delivery of baggage upon request, and special parking privileges at the airport. Even a personal assistant for Duty Free shopping is available if desired.
In 2012 the number of customers using Al Majlis rose 57 per cent to 66,300, up from 42,218 in 2011, while reservations rose 30.5 per cent to 17,186, up from 13,162 in 2011.
Working with stakeholders
Integrating the entire passenger experience remains a challenge given Dubai International's ongoing growth. As part of its efforts to improve passenger flows, Dubai Airports finalised several initiatives that will help ease passage through immigration over the coming years.
Over the past few years, the E-Gate card has been popular with residents, and during 2012 a new Smart e-Gate was trialled at Dubai International. The Smart e-Gate is equipped with a high-accuracy camera, which will eliminate the need for an eye scan as well as the need for an e-Gate card. All holders of modern passports with barcodes that can be read by the e-reader can use the e-Gate, including children above the age of seven.
The new technology paves the way for a faster and more efficient movement of the growing number of passengers travelling through the world's second busiest airport for international passengers. The system takes only a few seconds to process each passenger.
The new Smart e-Gates are expected to be rolled out across Terminal 3 during 2013.
Dubai Airports also played an instrumental role, together with Dubai police and immigration and Emirates airline, in adopting Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) whereby airlines process their passengers' immigration details before their arrival or departure in a country.
APIS has been introduced for arriving passengers at Dubai International and will be implemented for departing passengers by the end of 2013.
The system, once fully in place, will help ease the processing times at the airport's immigration counters.
Customer Service Week
Achieving the service level to which Dubai Airports aspires requires the co-operation of its numerous stakeholders, including Emirates airline, flydubai, Dubai Police as well as Dubai Customs and Immigration.
For the second consecutive year, Dubai Airports took part in Customer Service Week, a global event that saw 57 volunteers, including CEOs and other high-ranking officials from 14 stakeholders, come together to personally welcome more than 2,300 passengers to Dubai International.
The event not only allows us to showcase our commitment to service delivery, but creates a platform that unites Dubai Airports and its partners in their focus to provide the best possible service to our passengers.
Service Awards
Dubai Airports' efforts to enhance the customer experience have been widely recognised.
During 2012 Airports Council International, the airport industry's guiding regulatory body, voted Dubai International as both 'Most Improved Airport' and 'Best Airport in the Middle East', the second consecutive year that it has won both awards. The most important criterion for ACI awards is its Airport Service Quality survey programme. Involving a survey of around 400 passengers each month, the feedback scores are constantly crosschecked to track improvement in service levels.
Dubai International was also named 'Air Cargo Hub of the Year' (Supply Chain and Transport Awards), 'Best Airport Middle East' (Business Traveller), 'Best Airport' (Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards), 'Airport of the Year' (Aviation Business Awards) and 'Best Airport for Cargo in the Middle East' (Air Cargo Excellence Awards).

Ryan Taylor started his career with Merseyside's other club, Tranmere Rovers, whom he joined 6 years ago when he was just 18 years old.
Ryan Taylor – in action at WBA
Ryan went on to play for Tranmere 98 times with 14 goals, before moving to Wigan Athletic in 2005.
Ryan is from the red half of Liverpool and he is naturally looking forward to a win over the Blues on Sunday afternoon, as he told the Evening Chronicle today:
"I'm from the red half of Liverpool." "I'll make sure we get a win there!" "My family's a mixture, really."
"Obviously, if you're from Newcastle, you support Newcastle, and if you're from Sunderland, you support them." "It doesn't really work like that when you're in one city with two clubs."
"Sometimes on derby day, when you're watching at home, you'll be with your mother, who's a blue, and your father, who's a red."
"There are never any bad feelings, but with me being a red, personally I don't mind seeing Everton lose!"
"We have just as good a squad here (as Everton), if not better." "The quality here is different class." "They're all proven international players."
"We've obviously got to look at the likes of Aston Villa and Everton." "We want to be where they are, and it's a case of hard work, and togetherness, starting on Sunday."
Everton have lost just once in their last 13 games in both league and cup, and that was against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
So what does that tell us?
They are obviously due another defeat fairly soon, and we might as well take them out of their misery on Sunday afternoon. 😀
We'll be looking for the lads to show us some top form, as well as a never-say-die spirit, because we need the points desperately.
Add to that the fact the lads will want to win this game, so that Joe Kinnear has a good first day out of the hospital, and we may just be able to do it.
Howay The Lads!!
Comments welcome.

We have a good squad of players but our team doesnt work together. First of all everton have got a better defence than us, 2. They have wingers who get a lot of assists and goals (Arteta, Pienarr) 3. They have a good defensive mid (Fellaini) and a good attacking mid (cahill) which we havnt got, there team is balanced unlike ours
Hull's in trouble. Too bade for Bullard but it certainly doesn't hurt us…
I allways stay positive ahead of home games, and especially with oba back. But I'm really concerned with our defence. Before we at least had shay's great reflexes to save us.
Wasn't one of the pros about r. taylor that he could play right back aswell? anyone seen him in that position?
all i demand is a clean sheet for once
Looks like we are battling Arsenal for Sahko:
I only follow whats happening to hull to make sure they loose and drop below we.
Then again its Hull Tottenham so what do you go for – the spuds win or Hull. I would say Hull as they are ahead of we anyway and if we grab 3 points (touch wood and stroke rabbits foot) we will still be in the same position.
I do so hope that Arsenal will wipe the board of the mackems and Arshavin rips them apart.
Piers-hence i made sure i said something along the lines of "i imagine", showing that it was merely an opinion. The article you posted is pure speculation, as far as Arsenal are concerned. All it said regarding us is that we were linked with him in the past-which we were, but only by papers.
Kinnear was never quiet about the players we were looking at.

One of my favorite things about Stampin' Up! is their fabulous punches. With this year's Retirement List we are losing quite a few classic punches (but we will get some great new ones, I promise!). One of my favorites is the Bitty Butterfly (the Elegant Butterfly is a close second). I made this quick and easy card to show off how great this punch can be:
I went with a rainbow effect using the swoosh from Over the Rainbow (another stamp set that is retiring). I took the my Bitty Butterfly punch and punched out little butterflies from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stacks, which also retired and sold out very quickly! My sentiment is from the Love and Affection stamp set which is also retiring.
Although it is sad to say goodbye to these fabulous products, take comfort in knowing that we are in store for some great things! Head over to SSI where the gals are sharing their favorite retiring punches.

It may seem anticlimactic, but acne treatment for adults is a very real need. While many teenagers complain about pimples, it is a well-documented fact that many adults are battling the same problems. Approximately 25% of men and 50% of women have this problem, and the trend is increasing as the years go by.
What causes adult acne?
The root cause of acne is excess oil and clogged pores. There is also evidence that adult acne may be linked to a substantial change in hormone production during menopause or pregnancy. Certain infections may also cause this condition. Many acne remedies target some or all of these causes, making treatment simpler.
Effective acne treatment
Many acne solutions on the market today are aimed at teenagers because they are the biggest market for such products. An increasing number of adults who suffer from this condition, though, are using many of the same treatments.
Effective adult acne treatment includes the use of benzoyl peroxide, which targets pimple-causing bacteria and helps the skin to dry and peel, thus replacing it with fresh new skin cells. This is also used by teenagers, but it must be used moderately by adults because of its skin-drying properties. Other substances for acne care include azelaic acid cream, which is a natural topical cream aimed at soothing inflammation and reducing bacteria; topical antibiotics, which further lessens bacteria; and alpha-hydroxy acids, which can help in cleaning up clogged pores.
Last resort treatments
Sometimes acne gets too severe for mild topical creams or antibiotics to handle. For those who are afflicted most severely, one of the most effective acne products is isotretinoin, which is used to treat severe cystic acne. However, it is not without its risks. Aside from some side effects, it can also cause birth defects. Pregnant women are strongly advised against taking this medication, and women who plan to take it should use adequate birth control. Indeed, the warning is so strong that it can only be taken when all other means of acne treatment have been exhausted.
Acne certainly does not only affect teenagers. Adults are also affected to a higher degree because of the advanced condition of their skin. However, effective treatment is available, and it is a very manageable condition. With these acne treatments, adult acne sufferers can say goodbye to their pimples.

I love all kinds of books! For all my friends, I am known on GR as Alicja. I don't stick with a genre, that's boring. Instead you'll get reviews from the most random assortment of fiction and non-fiction works. It's probably due to my interests being as eclectic as my book tastes.
I'm a girlfriend-loving bisexual, science fiction geek, PC gamer, historical fiction devourer, hiker, atheist, history buff, opera lover, vegetarian, kayaker, metal and hard rock concert goer, science nerd, politics debater, world traveler, M/M romance fan, and I have the ability to transform from an adult-like hard-working professional into a screaming fangirl in five seconds flat.
Torchwood audioplay!
Rating: 4/5
Review: Read entirely by Gareth David-Lloyd, the first time I listened I checked out within five minutes of hearing that wonderful voice of his. His accent is divine and, when I actually paid attention to it instead of floating in a sea of wonderful Welsh vowels, the voices he does for each character are perfect (including Jack's American accent).
The story is interesting and typical Torchwood. Strange things happening in Cardiff and, oh surprise, it's aliens! This story has a bit of a weird religious spin to it but that just makes it more interesting. I don't want to spoil the plot so I won't go into it but this is one of my favorite TW stories out there (even if I still miss Tosh and Owen). All the team members (and Rhys) are in character and we even see a lot of Jack and Ianto interaction as they work together which we don't get much in the show.

What is the difference between spontaneous and coached pushing in labour?
Coached pushing is quite a controversial topic, find out how it differs from a spontaneous labour.
In labour, what's the difference between spontaneous and coached pushing? They talk about it in my antenatal group and I'm confused – don't you just push when you have a contraction?
In my experience the mums who have a spontaneous labour with no drugs – particularly an epidural – spontaneously push. Once they're fully dilated, the baby moves into the birth canal and presses on the pelvic floor muscles, causing the sensation of needing to 'bear down' and push. It's overwhelming and very difficult to control, so mums are encouraged to go with it and follow these urges.
Coached pushing, quite a controversial topic, is where the midwife and/or doctor tell the mum when and how to push. In my opinion this is sometimes needed, especially if the mum has had an epidural and can't feel any urges to push. Again you will be fully dilated and in the second stage of labour; you will be encouraged to take a big breath at the beginning of the contraction and then, while holding it in, to push down as though you're opening your bowels. Typically you will do this three times through a contraction.
If you've had an epidural it's now common practice to wait at least an hour – sometimes longer – once you're fully dilated, to allow the baby to completely descend into the birth canal, so pushing it out is easier. Sometimes the epidural can be allowed to wear off at this point, allowing you to feel those urges to push.
Alison Brown
