After receiving a real estate license, most agents go on to join their local board or association of REALTORS® and the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, the world's largest professional trade association.

Real estate agents are your consultants, your strategists, and your advisors. They should tell you the truth and will always provide you with enough information so that you can make an informed decision about your home purchase.
- More Tips. Ask the Realtor you are interviewing how proactive they will be in finding you a home. For example, find out if they have a marketing staff that has the resources to find homes for buyers before they hit the market.

The listing agent's main responsibility is to get the word out and show the house.
What Are Ways To Sell Your California Home?
The biggest issue many homeowners face when listing their house for sale is the price. You want to get the most you can, but be careful when it comes to pricing it to high. Listing Your Property With To High of a Price For no particular reason, you have picked up the itch to sell your house. Maybe there are developments in your area that have caused massive appreciation and you simply want to cash out while the going is good. Maybe you just are interested to see what someone will pay. In making the decision to sell, you do the research to find out what comparable homes in the area are selling for and how long it takes them to sell. You decide to list your property at the top of the market because you have serious upgrades and the research shows comparable homes are moving pretty quickly. While you may be willing to wait a bit for an offer, you run a risk of sabotaging yourself. Time is a two way street in the real estate industry. While you are probably not particularly interested in waiting a long time to move the property, buyers are considering time as well. Specifically, they are wondering why so much time has passed since your home was first listed. Is it an indication that there is something wrong with the property? Many potential buyers will start to think so. If you price the property at the top of the comparable market, you run this risk and selling becomes very difficult. One justification many sellers make for picking a high price are upgrades done to the property. In many scenarios, this is logical and makes practical sense. That being said, you may be in for a nasty surprise. Most buyers prefer to make the upgrades themselves, not pay a premium for what you have done. Ultimately, this means the higher price may find little interest because the value of the upgrades is ignored by the potential buyers. This can also lead to the frustrating situation wherein you realize you spent more money on upgrades than you will ever get out of the property. Ouch. The final risk associated with pricing your property at the top of the market is the potential it will be ignored. The general rule in real estate for buyers is to purchase the lowest priced home in an area and then fix it up. With minor changes, appreciation gains can be significant. If your home is already at the top of the market, a buyer really cannot do this and will actually have to wait for other properties in the area to appreciate. Savvy or even moderately knowledgeable buyers will not take the bait. Pricing your property for sale is a trick issue. Figure out your market and make your own conclusions. To maximize profit, it is best to be in the middle of the market, but always below other homes that are superior to your property.

Former Tánaiste Dick Spring defended his €1,000-a-day fee as a public interest director at AIB, claiming it was "reasonable for the effort" he put into it.
The former leader of the Labour Party said he had turned down more lucrative positions in order to stay with AIB. Moreover, his fees were "the going rate for this type of work".
Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty had criticised Mr Spring for taking a fee last year of €59,000 for working 60 days, on top of his pension of €121,000 per year.
Mr Spring said he had been originally requested to work 40 days a year when he was asked to become a public interest director at AIB. He wrote to the late Brian Lenihan, the then minister for finance, to say he would work an extra 20 days. He also reduced the fees for public interest directors by 25% when he took office, he added.
Mr Spring appeared before the Oireachtas finance committee yesterday with his fellow AIB public interest director, Michael Somers.
Bank of Ireland public interest directors Joe Walsh and Tom Considine had been before the same committee earlier in the day.
Wicklow Independent TD Stephen Donnelly reminded Mr Walsh that he was a public interest director and it was his duty to serve the public.
He wanted to know what his views were on Bank of Ireland chief executive Richie Boucher's comments that there would be no debt forgiveness, "as these [comments] are clearly in the interests of the bank".
Mr Walsh said the bank would adhere to the proposed personal insolvency legislation. "But if at the end of the three-year restructuring period there was no money left, then as we say in West Cork, you can't get blood out of a turnip."
Mr Walsh argued that it was not the fault of the previous board of directors at Bank of Ireland when asked what caused the demise of the banking system. The former Fianna Fáil minister blamed "a wider banking malaise and international factors such as Lehman Brothers" for the collapse of the Irish banks.
However, there had been a very public backlash against the crisis, which had a "devastating effect" on Fianna Fáil at the last election, he added.
Independent TD Shane Ross accused Mr Walsh of abdicating his responsibilities as a public interest director and "of going native".

I really hope they do this, since the 3DS supports high quality music.
That would be really nice and is something I've been thinking about as well. Btw, do you think they'll also finally update Pokemon cries to be less...screechy and 8-bit' y? Like I've seen others mention all over, I see them keeping the cries over something like the anime sounds but maybe they'll at least give them an update for once.

Today's release : Nothing in Common on DVD
December 07, 2010
The movie Nothing in Common is re-released on DVD today in the United States by Imagine Entertainment. The 1986 movie was directed by Gary Marshall and starred Tom Hanks, Jackie Gleason, Sela Ward Eva Marie Saint among others.
David Basner is a successful advertising executive who has it all: Money, happiness, and women who want him. Then one day his world falls apart when his mother leaves his father. Now, he must balance his life between his mother, who is happy with her newfound independence, and his father, a recently laid off salesman who is hard-headed, stubborn, and hides a lot from David. Now David must cope with the downfall of his family and his life.
The film is considered by some to be the pivotal role in Tom Hanks's career because it marked his transition from less developed comedic roles to becoming a leading actor in more serious films. Moreover, the movie had a lot in common with Tom Hanks's real experience, as Tom Hanks explained during his interview on the Inside The Actor's Studio in 1999 :
"When the time came to show the movie to my dad I said 'Listen p'pa, you're all over this thing so just bear that in mind in the scenes where I might be talking to Jacky Gleason but there's a number of lines that I'm actually saying straight at you'."
You can find more details about the DVD itself on the official website of Imagine Entertainment.

Vincenzo Montella is in pole position to replace Walter Mazzarri at Napoli should the latter leave at the end of the season.
According to Mediaset, the former Roma striker is at the top of the ambitious club's shortlist of possible replacements.
Although Mazzarri is tied to the outfit until 2013, he is being linked with an exit at the end of the campaign. Inter and Lazio have been paired with the Tuscan.
Montella himself has cooled links with Napoli, but the ex-Roma boss impressed at the San Paolo this weekend when his side collected a 2-2 draw.
The former Italian international, still only 37, was actually born in the province of Naples. He joined Catania in the summer on a two-year deal.

In honor of Flag Day, Girl Scouts gives tips on flag etiquette
Published 11:00 pm, Friday, June 12, 2015
Many words are synonymous with Girl Scouting, including cookies, camp, crafts, leadership and patriotism. Flag etiquette is one of the many important skills Girl Scouts learn and as a result, troops are asked to perform flag ceremonies in the community during special ceremonies, luncheons and parades. This Flag Day, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, one of the largest councils in the U.S., is giving you tips on the proper ways to display your U.S. flag.
GSSJC guidelines on handling a U.S. flag:
Display of the U.S. flag is governed by law to ensure that it will be treated with the respect. This is known as the United States Flag Code. Some of the rules most useful are:
Trending Health News
- Boston Marathon bombing survivor leads charity workout WMUR
- State health dept issues warning at Lake Worth Fox4
- "We Survive" promotes health, healing for the less fortunate WLKY
- Turkey denies hitting Afrin hospital killing 16 people Euronews
- New Study Says Motherhood Is The Equivalent of Working 2.5 Full-Time Jobs Buzz 60
- New Arizona law prevents cities and counties from taxing sugary foods or drinks Fox10Phoenix
- Emory doctors testify in Tex McIver murder trial Fox5Atlanta
- Walton Goggins' Hollywood hustle Associated Press
- Emory doctors testify in Tex McIver murder trial FoxM9NJ
- Thousands flee last rebel enclave near Syrian capital Damascus Euronews
• The American flag must be placed in the center, and higher, when displayed with a group of state, local or organizational flags flown from staffs. It may also be positioned to the right of other flags. (If girls were to hold the flag while facing their audience, their right side would be the flag's own right.)
• When displayed from a staff in a house of worship or public auditorium, the flag of the United States must hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergy's or speaker's right as he or she faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergy or speaker or to the right of the audience.
• The flag is to be hoisted briskly and lowered slowly with dignity.
• The flag should never be allowed to touch anything beneath it, nor should it ever be carried flat or horizontally—always aloft and free.
• Never use the flag as a cover or place anything on top of it.
• No disrespect of any kind should be shown to the flag of the United States. It should be kept clean.
• The flag, when carried in a procession with other flags, should be either on the marching right or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.
• When you display the flag on a wall or in a window where people see it from the street, it should be displayed flat with the blue part at the top and on the flag's own right (which is the observer's left).
• When displayed after dark, the flag should be illuminated.
Flag Day is celebrated on June 14 and commemorates the adoption of the U.S. flag, which took place on that day in 1777.
For more information about flag etiquette, GSSJC recommends visiting usflag.org. To request Girl Scouts to perform a flag ceremony for your organization, contact the Council's customer service hotline at 713-292-0300.

The Barclays: Adam Scott carded a 66 to clinch victory in the opening FedEx Cup event
Adam Scott fired a flawless 66 to claim an unlikely victory at The Barclays, the opening tournament in the FedEx Cup.
Last Updated: 26/08/13 11:36am
The Australian began the day six shots off the lead with a lot of players ahead of him, but on a roller-coaster day that saw the contenders drop away one after another, it was Scott who was left atop the leaderboard.
At one stage his final tally of 11 under par looked as though it would only be enough for a play-off at best, with Tiger Woods, Gary Woodland, Justin Rose and Kevin Chappell all in position to go one better throughout the afternoon.
Joint overnight leader Matt Kuchar endured the most dramatic implosion, a triple bogey at the ninth completely ruling him out of contention, eventually signing for an 78.
It meant it was all change at the top and starting out on the back nine it was Chappell who led by two after two birdies in three holes until he, too, capitulated with a three-put double-bogey at the 11th, and he gave back a further five shots on the way to a 76.
US Open champion Rose went down the final hole tied with Scott having made four birdies in an error-free round, but he raced his birdie putt four feet past and failed to make the one back to drop disappointingly out of the lead.
Woods was the next to make a last ditch attempt to join Scott at the top, despite a back spasm that clearly affected his swing throughout the back nine.
Having made it to -11, he dropped shots at the 10th, 13th and 15th and appeared to be drifting out of contention until a grandstand finish that saw him drain birdie putts and 16 and 17.
His approach to the last went through the green but his putt finished agonisingly short, meaning he too finished a shot shy of a play-off.
Woodland, who held the overnight lead with Kuchar, double-bogeyed the fifth but got a stroke back at the seventh to get back to the magical 11-under-par figure, however he bogeyed the 13th and then spurned very holeable putts at the last three greens to match Scott's score.
So it is the Masters champion who goes to the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston next week in second place behind Woods in the FedEx Cup standings, with Phil Mickelson in third place.
Mickelson burned it up on Sunday, picking up six shots in eight holes midway through his round to come from way back and reach 10-under-par before dropping his only shot of the day at the last.
The top 100 in the standings head to Boston, some consolation for England's David Lynn, who started the day in contention but double-bogeyed the first in an outward 41, before picking up two shots coming home to finish alongside Kuchar and Rory McIlroy (72) on -5.

Skip to comments.The Rush To Therapy
Posted on 11/10/2009 2:04:37 PM PST by keepitreal
[Excerpt discussing the media's initial reaction to Ft. Hood]
A shroud of political correctness settled over the conversation. Hasan was portrayed as a victim of society, a poor soul who was pushed over the edge by prejudice and unhappiness.
There was a national rush to therapy. Hasan was a loner who had trouble finding a wife and socializing with his neighbors.
This response was understandable. Its important to tamp down vengeful hatreds in moments of passion. But it was also patronizing. Public commentators assumed the air of kindergarten teachers who had to protect their children from thinking certain impermissible and intolerant thoughts. If public commentary wasnt carefully policed, the assumption seemed to be, then the great mass of unwashed yahoos in Middle America would go off on a racist rampage.
Worse, it absolved Hasan before the real evidence was in of his responsibility. He didnt have the choice to be lonely or unhappy. But he did have a choice over what story to build out of those circumstances. And evidence is now mounting to suggest he chose the extremist War on Islam narrative that so often leads to murderous results.
The conversation in the first few days after the massacre was well intentioned, but it suggested a willful flight from reality. It ignored the fact that the war narrative of the struggle against Islam is the central feature of American foreign policy. It ignored the fact that this narrative can be embraced by a self-radicalizing individual in the U.S. as much as by groups in Tehran, Gaza or Kandahar.
It denied, before the evidence was in, the possibility of evil. It sought to reduce a heinous act to social maladjustment. It wasnt the reaction of a morally or politically serious nation.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Does Hasan get the Congressional Medal of Freedom and four Purple Hearts for his action under stress?
I'm willing to go anywhere for an interesting article!
Sez who?
Even as Brooks is decrying PC idiocy in this case, he can't help himself from legitimizing it...
Notice how the headline editor is putting Rush and Therapy as a dig on Rush Limbaugh.
NYSlimes strikes again.
Excellent excerpting!
Thank you! It was actually a very good article. I was hoping that folks would see that the MSM narrative is changing on this case. Brook's piece criticizing the initial press reaction, coupled with Bob Schieffer and a handful of other reports, show that the questioning has begun.
That said, I agree with Brooks that the media rush to excuse the actions of a mass murderer are reprehensible and poorly grounded, an attempt to construct a narrative that excludes the inconvenient facts of Hasan's obvious religious motivation. That isn't even a narrative, it's a fairy story. One longs for a narrative that actually does include the facts. One longs for a truth that transcends narrative.
Unless you want to be depressed, skip the reader comments.
Plenty of "America's evil foreign policy drives Islamic anger" and "ALL extremist religions—especially Christianity—do the same" sort of drivel.
The "intellegent" readers of the NYT know nothing else but the lockstep drivel of their college profs. They don't know how to think critically.

US Mint Runs Out Of Tenth-Ounce Gold Coin Inventory Day After Its Release For Broad Purchase
The sad state of affairs in gold land: the premium for the 1 ounce Gold Eagle coins has expanded from $59 to $99, Krugerrands are not available for sale in most places, and this most recent development just out of the US Mint: the one-tenth ounce American Eagle inventory at the mint has been depleted, almost instantaneously after the coin was made available for purchase. This occurred the day after the mint announced the release of fractional Eagle Gold Bullion Coins in one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce weights.

Such was a case in the market earlier this year, and I believe this is happening in GOLD right now.
In the coming weeks we will find out how strong gold really is.
Russia's central bank eyes more gold
MOSCOW (Commodity Online): Russia's Central Bank picked up the pace of gold purchases in November, diversifying reserves as a weaker dollar boosts the appeal of bullion. And, it has announced that Russia may buy more gold in the coming days.

Forums → Forum Games → ^, <, V game
A traditional, house-hold favorite of my clan's forum games, the up, side, down, game. Here are the rules:
Rule #1:
^ = Answering someone's question
< = What you are currently doing now, or what you have done recently
V = Your very own question that the user below you will answer
Rule #2: Do NOT post "also" questions! This means that: e.g. You are
drinking a glass of tea, so you would ask the question,
"also drinking tea?" This is a giant no-no among my people.
Be creative!
Rule #3: This is not a truth-or-dare game! Do not post questions that
will make the user uncomfortable, such as sexual questions,
or those that the below user deems inappropriate. So don't
ask these questions please.
Rule #4: Of course, do not flame, spam, or abuse. Typical
rule in every thread.
Since I'm the starter, I cannot ask a question, so...

It's always good to advertise
Byline info is not available
Tuesday, December 11, 2012 9:00 PM
I know you're not overly interested in a column about "Advertising"... but stay with me on this... I think you'll enjoy the ending.
First let me say... Advertising is a GOOD thing..... if it WORKS. Good for the advertiser AND the person it's directed to.
During my many years in radio and other advertising forums I can safely say my customers purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising.... and I never SOLD them as much as a dime's worth. You see... I was NEVER a SALESman... I simply let people BUY the advertising I had to offer.
Actually, I preferred to work WITH my clients... finding out what THEY wanted to advertise ... helping them put an advertising plan together... then taking that plan to the Radio Station (or wherever) and BUYING the advertising.. on THEIR behalf. Yes I felt I worked for the ADVERTISER.... my JOB was assisting with HIS advertising... not just SELLING him something to enable me to reach some kind of "sales goal"
Because of this relationship I was frequently allowed to sit-in on many local business strategy sessions to find out what needed to be done.... and more importantly... figure out how to do it. Most often in towns this size that session would consist of two people... the owner... and me.
* * * * * * *
Such was frequently the case with Bill Zach... owner of The A&W Restaurant "On the Greencastle Road".
In a typical "strategy session" we would go to the south end of the counter... He would lean on it from the inside... I would sit on a stool... and we would "talk business".
I remember one day Bill said to me "Dick... y'know I been out to this annual A&W Convention in California... and one of the speakers was this advertising guy who had some good ideas."
"Y'know" he continued "I've been running "specials" every week. Free drink with a Papa-Burger purchase... Buy one - get one at half price.. 39-cent coneys (Yes I believe it was 39-cents then)
"Every week it would be something DIFFERENT" he said "and some weeks the special would be on Monday, sometimes on Wednesday, or Tuesday... we mixed them up...right?"
"Yep" I responded glibly.
"Well this guy says that's ALL WRONG. He says we should stay with ONE item... and do it on the SAME day EVERY week."
Bill and I talked about it a while... and HE finally decided coneys were his most successful special ... which he usually ran on Wednesdays... but (for some reason) he frequently had scheduling problems on Wednesdays, so he thought he would run his weekly coney special on Tuesdays.
Furthermore he said "This guy says in your advertising you should ALWAYS mention the DAY of the special. Don't say it's TOMORROW... or even TODAY... People can't remember if they heard it today or yesterday or last Friday.... Always mention the DAY itself"
We talked a little more and finally agreed to start it the following week.
* * * * * * *
Have you ever heard the phrase "Tuesday is Coney Day... at Zach's A&W Restaurant"? I went back to the station and wrote up that short ad. Then WE hammered that ad on radio EVERY week... week after week... and even on Tuesday... it said "Tuesday".
Zach's isn't around anymore... and unfortunately neither is Bill... but do you think it's a coincidence that Uncle Smiley's runs their "Coney Day Special"... on Tuesday? (Oh... you didn't know that. Well... do they advertise it EVERY week?)
A year or two later I had a competing restaurant owner tell me "Well I can't run MY special on TUESDAYS because..."TUESDAY is CONEY DAY!" (I didn't tell him I was quite aware of that.)
So remember... Advertising is a GOOD thing... if you do it right it WORKS. And I would say... in Zach's case...if YOU still remember it... it worked.
* * * * * * *
And now maybe you'll notice that... since the very beginning... I have ALWAYS finished this column with: "'Til next WEDNESDAY".... (Like others, I could say "next WEEK".... but I ALWAYS have mention the DAY) ... So choose to be happy... and keep smiling.
Dick Munro writes a his weekly column, By The Way, for The Paper. It appears each Wednesday in The Paper.

This is a good school.Ofsted
As part of the national program of school inspections, Monks Orchard was visited by an Ofsted team of inspectors in 25th and 26th February 2014. The following is from their published summary of the inspection report:-
Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 2
Summary of key findings for parents and pupils:
- Pupils achieve well. They make good progress from starting points that are often low to reach at least average standards at the end of Key Stage 2 in English and Mathematics.
- Teaching is good because it enables pupils of all abilities to make good progress in lessons. Teachers plan together and share ideas which helps to improve their classroom practice.
- Leaders and managers check the quality of teaching carefully. They provide effective training opportunities which help teachers to continually improve their performance.
- Governors, leaders and managers have ensured that the quality of teaching has remained strong and pupils' achievement good since the previous inspection.
- Pupils behave well. The school fosters positive relationships and tackles discrimination effectively to create a harmonious environment where adults and pupils from many different backgrounds get on extremely well together.
- Leaders have developed a range of highly effective strategies to promote good attendance. Figures have therefore risen significantly since the previous inspection and attendance is now in line with national figures.
The full report can be found as an attachment below.

Hello and welcome to Spells of Magic!
To further elaborate on NordStar's excellent points:
Though magick/witchcraft can be done without religion and in many instances by itself is not considered a religion since you can practice with no god it still violates your parents religious rights. The reason being if it goes against their religion or religious beliefs. That is why it is still counted as, "teaching a religion".
The path you take will be different than everyone else in one way or another. Your journey is unique and special to you and for you. That being said, it is more about the journey than the destination. It sounds corney but it very much true. The experiences you will have may well enrich your life. No matter how much you know or learn there will always be more. Even the most knowledgable and experiences recap what they know and continue to learn and grow each day.
You cannot physically summon things period. As in making things appear out of nowhere does not happen. Summoning is usually done for spirits, deities, demons, and so forth. Many have a spirit animal a lot of which are wolves, foxes, and other animals as well. But they are spirits, not physical animals. If you want a real wolf I would suggest talking to your parents about getting a husky since when it comes to dog breeds they most closely resemble wolves. I would not recomend wolf dogs as they can be more rambunctious, tear up your house, need constant attention, and when frightened attack. They don't mean to hurt necessiarily, just out of instinct. The problem being since they are part wolf it has actually send people to the hospital since they are stronger than full dogs.

The reason I add corrospondences is because with spell work it is handy to have an idea of what to use and how to use it. To know what kinda herbs to use for an attraction working. What sort of stones to use for a money spell. What day of the week or moon phase might be best for this ritual. There are so many and not everyone follows all of them mind you. For Norse practitioners many of them work with runes as an example and memorize the meanings of different ones. Then use them in divination or spellwork. Scott Cunningham has an herb encyclepedia I would highly recomend. Donald Michael Kraig's Modern Magick is also a wonderful book I have been reading myself and would highly recomend. It has a lot of basic things in it including tarot, a neat spread, and some history on the tarot.

Kelly Ripa has a right to bare arms!
"Kelly is lean and sexy all over, and her arms are proof that she works hard and works right," Gold's Gym star trainer Mike Ryan tells UsMagazine.com of the daytime talk show host, 39, who was named "Best Arms" in UsMagazine.com and Gold's Gym's first-ever Hollywood's Hottest Bodies Awards.
Ryan's prescription for arms as top-rated a Ripa's? Consistent toning with weights, which he says "will work many muscles at once and will bring constant results." To get her sculpted arms, he describes a few key moves:
1. Straight curl. To tone biceps, stand up holding two dumbbells, palms up. Beginners should only hold 5-lb. weights, or 10 pounds total, and add more weight as you go. The current weight should always be challenging but not impossible to complete. Curl the barbell toward your chest and back down for one rep. Do three sets of 12 to 15 reps, resting for 30 to 60 seconds between each set.
2. The 21s. Stand straight. Hold 5-lb. dumbbells in each hand in starting position, which is with arms down. Start with a basic curl from starting position, lifting the dumbbells halfway up, so arms are parallel with the floor. Do 7 reps of this. Then do 7 reps from the half-way position to the top of the straight bicep curl movement. Then, do 7 full reps following the entire range of motion from the starting position to the end of the bicep curl. This is a total of 21 reps. Do two sets.
3. Triceps kickback. Hold a 3-lb. dumbbell in one hand and place opposite knee on a bench with other foot flexed on the floor. Pull the arm holding the dumbbell straight back and up to your side. Lower to starting position. Repeat 15 reps for one set. Do 3 sets.
For toned arms, this sequence of moves should be done three times per week in addition to a cardio regimen of running, walking or cycling.
Ripa, who has said she is "big on grazing" and tries to eat smaller amounts of food more often, likely benefits from such snacks as a handful of almonds, fresh veggies and pears, Ryan tells Us. "Bottom line, you always need to eat meals with clean, healthy ingredients."

I don't know if anyone is interested or not, but Imrie/Risley Miniatures is going out of business at the end of the month. Clyde Risley died some time ago, and Bill Imrie has been gone for a few years now. The business has been run by his widow since his passing.
The figures are 54mm, but are some of the best on the market. They were my introduction to the military miniature in the mid-1960s and I believe their War of the American Revolution figures are some of the best I have ever seen. Their horses are also outstanding in design and pose, as are all of their field pieces, especially of the American Civil War.
They are offering a 20% discount on all kits until the end of the month so if you are interested, now's the time to stock up on these figures.
Sincerely, Kevin
So sorry to hear this! I/R was a pioneer in the hobby that continued to bring new and better kits into the hobby well into the 90's. Hope to order from them before it's all gone. Very sad news.
Thanks for this, I have very fond memories of them
Yes, it is. I knew Bill Imrie and met his lovely wife. Bill was a gentleman of the old school and he was one of the founders of The Company of Military Historians.
Hopefully, someone will buy the company and keep the production of those excellent figures coming.
Met those guys , went there on a Saturday by appointment , showed casting facility and everything . I have bunch of thier stuff . A great loss to upstate NY
I did a number of dioramas for a local museum during the bicentennial (1976) on Greene's southern campaign and Yorktown. I used about 300 I/R figures and conversions in 12 dioramas. There was a tremendous amount of conversion potential in these "simple" figures! I truly hope someone picks up the line. Many of these figures would probably cast in resin quite well. My main personal issue is that I hoped building I/R figures would be a major part of my retirement! Here's to Bill and Claude and fond memories.With sincere thanks,Bob
Sorry that should be Bill and Clyde! Memory is the first thing to go!
Very sorry to hear it. My earliest metal figures are AWI from I/R. Hope someone keeps the line going.
This is sad to hear I still have some of their 54mms
Hope somebody buys the molds and keeps it going. I just bought a bunch of generals to fill in my 54mm ACW armies.
I was just taking a nostalgic look at some of the unfinished, two-piece I/R cavalry I have.
I noticed the inside of one half of a horse has 'Hellenic Miniatures' inside.
Isn't Helen the name of Bill Imrie's wife, and wasn't that trademark his first company ?
Sorry to read this.Tom
Ed, yes it is and yes it was.
Thanks for the information. Sad to hear the news. Yes, I hope someone will carry the line in the future. I started out my hobby with I/R miniatures too. I still have many of their figures. Does anyone still remember I/R paint. Great stuff. Fond memories of Imrie/Risley Miniatures.
Very sad. I knew both men (as they were friends of my Father) and have many of their figures and even some of their art work. I haven't painted a 54 in years but the last one I did was and IR.
The I/R paing was excellent, especially the dark blue and buff colors.
What a joy! Imrie/Risley Miniature is not going out of business, just the shop is closing. Emailed Mrs. Imrie and her response was:
WE ARE NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! Perhaps you do notget our newsletter which indicated that yes, our STORE would have closed, but we would still do mail orders. I will be 80 in a few years, and decided to slow down.
Fantastic, that is wonderful news!
Now that is good news. Thanks for checking and posting. I was really worried as I still have many, many I/R figures to get.
Cool! We are all happy campers now!
My Dad used to get me the AWI figures in the mid 70's from The soldier Shop in NYC. We visited the store a couple times,and i recently picked up vintage catalogs from them on ebay,along with some old AWI kits.They were $3.95 USD back in 1976..
This has been an interesting thread to follow. Like some others, the first figures I painted were Imrie/Risley. A big inspiration to me was the assault on Spring Hill diorama on display in Savannah, which extensively uses these figures.
When I first began collecting, I/R infantry figures were $2.00 USD a piece-and we thought that was expensive.
I also collect old Lasset (hard to find) and Stadden figures and ebay usually has Staddens for sale.
If anyone collected the old Gammage/Rose figures, they are being resold on line and the listing is quite extensive. They are excellent figures, more 'delicate' than the Staddens and the horses are modeled excellently.
I'll have to look up the website if anyone is interested.
Anybody remember the old Bussler ACW line?? Lots more poses and variety than IR figures.
Good old Bussler miniatures, yes, I remember them. Nice ACW line and French Napoleonic. I have some of those. They are nicely animated but larger than I/R.I also remember they have a nice ACW horse artillery. I think I still have their catalog. Rose and Stadden. Good old days! I think you still can order a custom figure from Stadden. Well time for me to get out those I/R and start painting them. Thanks all for all the informations.
I have about fifty of the old Bussler Civil War figures-artillery, infantry, and zouaves. The zouaves are excellent and I ordered my first two when I was about nine years old.
I just found and bought the old Rose King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery gun crew. I'm also bidding on ebay on an old crescent field piece to go with them. It is 'rated' an 18- vie a 13-pounder, but it is a great piece.
10th Marines/Kevin, I'd be interested in the website for the Russell Gammage/Rose figures. I've a few, and I think ONE Lasset (French cavalryman, afoot, in stable dress).
I see you're a fellow NC resident. Where 'bouts ?
I live in Jacksonville where we stayed when I retired from the US Marine Corps.
I'll look up the website for you and post it.
I just picked up about twenty Rose/Gammage figures on ebay a couple of months ago. Keep a lookout because sometimes they show up, painted and unpainted.
It's johnedenstudios.com. Apparently he produces the entire old Rose catalogue and the illustrations for ordering purposes are on the site.
I loved I/R troops. Their variety was outstanding as was their quality. Hope somebody will pick up the molds and continue the lines.
GDN, see HussarL's post aboved. I/R not going OOB, just closing the store. Still going to do mail-order.
Kevin – appreciate the info. Don't know if you game as well as collect, but visit wwwDOTtrianglesimsocietyDOT com for info on our Fall show (9/23-25, in Raleigh).
I've just ordered 3 mounted figures at a 20% discount. This sale will end on August 31. Fairly good deal. Back in the 60's, $2 USD for a foot as mentioned by 10th Marines and $6.50 USD for a mounted. Such is inflation and cost of materials. Minimum wage was $1.50.
Excellent. I am glad they will be around for a while! As with many of you, I/R were my first miniatures.
I have some Bussler painted and unpainted minatures, some individual pieces in original boxes that I am trying to get a value for. I have the union horse artillery set mounted and painted in Floquil flats by Dr Bussler and Leo Meyer. These items originally were owned by Leo Meyer, my father. For Bussler aficionados, he helped to create the set.

Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2009
Winemaker's Notes:
COLOR: Pale lemon in colour, with green tints and brilliant clarity. AROMA: Tropical fruit-driven aromas of pineapple and gooseberry complemented by hints of pink grapefruit, capsicum, and cut grass. PALATE: Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and refreshing, with vibrant flavours of ripe grapefruit, gooseberry and pineapple. Fresh, zingy acidity dominates the palate with some pleasant fruit sweetness providing some weight to the palate.
Member Reviews for Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc MarlboroughAdd your review
Very strong green olive aroma. Soft with a leafy, green palate. Slight citrus but nothing that stands out. Was not impressed.
Tasty. Good value wine. I like more zing though.
Like having a tropical fruit salad on the patio right after the lawn has been mowed. Light to med body, nice finish, acid is well balanced.
External Reviews for Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough
Light mandarin orange scents give this mildly sweet sauvignon a citrusy tone. It's a good choice for a party pour.
Ripe, not bracing, this new star in the Constellation portfolio boasts subtle aromas of stone fruit and citrus that become more apparent on the palate, emerging as nectarine and pink grapefruit. Plump and easy to drink; a real crowd-pleaser at a crowd-pleasing price.
Fresh and lively, with lemon curd and verbena flavors that glide easily across the open texture. Drink now.
Itrsquo;s a bit simple and a bit soft, but this value-priced wine accomplishes its mission of bringing authentic Marlborough SB flavor to the U.S. at an affordable price. Gooseberry and lime flavors are touched with hints of honey and mint, finishing with a bit of sweetness.
From the cool shores of New Zealandrsquo;s South Island, this offering is deliciously crisp and vibrant. This gem sings of capsicum and gooseberries. Naked with attitude, it hits a perfect balance, with crystal clear acidity and a hint of sweetness. Its charm, elegance and style conclude in a lingering, refreshing finish.
A light, refreshing expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, with gentle lemon and pineapple flavors complemented by a touch of grassy herbs. Itrsquo;s not as intense as some from the region, which makes for easier food parings.
Round and soft, with gently leafy notes that accent the stone fruit and grapefruit flavors. Itrsquo;s a solid introduction to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at a fair price.

Close your eyes and imagine your body stripped down to its underlying muscles. Now watch yourself in action: As you sit, stand, climb, bend, walk, a corps of muscles contracts and flexes, endlessly synchronized in a harmonious dance. Even an action as simple as standing requires the split-second tensing and relaxing of muscles that keep your bony framework erect and balanced.
But how you move your muscles can make the difference between feeling stiff and tense or relaxed and energetic. Most crucial are your movement habits, those repeated patterns you rarely notice -- until, finally, abused muscles sound a painful distress signal.
``A major problem is that we use extra muscles unnecessarily,`` says body worker Gail Fries of Amherst, Mass. ``Or we move so the muscles that should provide primary support aren`t able to, putting tremendous strain on the wrong muscles.``
Right now, as you read this, are you using muscles that waste energy and build tension? Do you find yourself fidgeting? Slumped to one side? Or is your neck projecting your head forward like a turkey`s? Are your feet tapping on the floor, or your legs wrapped together in a hardworking embrace?
``The ideal way to move is to keep your body as relaxed as possible,`` says San Francisco body worker Roy Bonney. ``For example, when sitting or standing, let your body be supported by the muscles and skeleton below, rather than by the straining of muscles from above. If your head is square atop your spine, it will be held effortlessly. If it`s extended forward, your neck and shoulder muscles must contract to support it. Don`t fight gravity more than you have to; it`s a tremendous strain to be out of balance.`` Awareness of movement habits is the first step.
Stand tall: What could be simpler than standing? Yet to a body worker`s trained eye, that position is fraught with subtle tension. One good system for finding the best relationship between your upright body and gravity is the Alexander technique. Its instructors emphasize finding the optimal relationship between spine, neck and skull. But it`s subtle. The idea is to let your thoughts gently guide your body into more fluid and poised moves.

Long Awaited Darkfall Siege System Incoming
In a recent announcement from Community Leader Tasos, Darkfall Online players were given the news that the highly anticipated Siege System update will be going live on servers as soon as next week. Darkfall is known for its cut-throat PvP but has been plagued with many issues since launch, many hope this latest update will address some of the problems with end-game guild PvP.
One of the most controversial aspects of the new update is the addition of Protection Shards. These new shards will allow guilds to postpone the start of a siege battle by 3 or 6 hours, allowing for more time to prepare or delay the enemy guild's preparations. Tasos also mentioned about Shards that can decrease the remaining time of a siege battle countdown. In the announcement he went into details on how they plan to implement these Shards but also mentioned that the developers are having balance issues as, theoretically, it would allow a guild to plan a siege attack and follow it through, giving the enemy guild very little time to prepare.
Many of Darkfall's previous updates have caused a number of server stability issues and game balance problems but hopes are high for this latest update, let's hope it can meet up to player expectations.

COP-4 Media briefing: Tobacco taxes
Tobacco taxes: Governments can boost revenues, and health
Governments seeking to increase revenues during tough economic times need look no further than tobacco taxes. Universally, states that have introduced these taxes – or increased existing tobacco taxes – have generated revenues. An additional benefit is that by discouraging smoking, tobacco taxes also contribute to improved health among the population.

Wooster Students Spend Portion of Their Summer Conducting Research
Nearly 80 students participate in wide range of programs across campus
WOOSTER, Ohio — Students typically scatter when the academic year comes to an end, but about 80 undergraduates from The College of Wooster chose to either delay their vacation or return to campus after a brief break and spend eight weeks conducting research on campus.
Wooster, which has a long history of promoting undergraduate research, highlighted by its nationally renowned Independent Study (I.S.) program, offers a number of opportunities to sample the research process each summer. Among the options this year were programs supported through the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), the Applied Mathematics Research Experience (AMRE), and the Sophomore Research Experience as well as individual grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Research Corporation for Science Advancement,, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation.
"Summer programs provide opportunities for younger students to get a taste of hands-on research," said Heather Fitz Gibbon, dean for faculty development at Wooster, during a recent poster session celebrating the conclusion of the eight-week period. "It's exciting for them to be exposed to the process and to begin working with faculty mentors."
Andrew Lamade, a rising senior who is majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology, wanted to get a head start on the I.S. process through his study of a protein and its response to electrophiles as an HHMI SEER mentor. Likewise, fellow senior Brittany Begres, also a biochemistry and molecular biology major, was looking to kick start her I.S. project by conducting research on the evolution of substrate specificity in the phosphagen kinases through a USDA grant. Both agreed that their summer experiences were interesting and enjoyable. "I really like to do research," said Begres. "I am very happy being here (on campus) doing what I love."
Upper-class students weren't the only ones trying to get a jump on things. Sophomore Rachelle Herrin, as yet undeclared, studied a family of molecules that are anti-oxidants in an effort to gauge their affect on toxins. "I definitely learned a lot," said Herrin, who worked with James West, assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology. "It was like having a full-time job."
Each week, students and faculty would head to Hartzler's Dairy on the northern edge of town, where they would sample several different flavors of ice cream. These informal events gave them an opportunity to compare notes and learn more about what their fellow researchers were doing.
"Research in the summer is different," said Laura Sirot, assistant professor of biology. "It's more relaxing and less distracting. You can really immerse yourself, troubleshoot, and interact with students more regularly."
Sirot's colleague, Dean Fraga, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology agreed, adding that summer research programs give participants a decided advantage. "Students have more time to think about their project. It also gives them an opportunity to really engage in the problem-solving process."

Q: They have a pretty good receiving corps. Do you guys think you'll be able to pick up the challenge?
A: Without a doubt. KP (
Q: What do you think about preparing against the ways they can attack you guys?
A: We pretty much, from seeing on film, we know what they're capable of, but it's not about what they're doing. It's about what we can do to stop them and prevent with the offense they have. So it's just about preparing and coach is going to put us in the right position. We're just going out there and doing our jobs and preparing ourselves this week and focusing.
Q: You talked earlier in the season about wanting to stay aggressive. How do you think you're doing with that?
A: I think it's been good. It's something that I pride my game on, being aggressive. Not only that but being a focused and instinctive player and being well-prepared and I think with the system that I'm in and the coaches that I've got around me they won't accept nothing else but that. You've got to push yourself and know your assignment and take the extra time to prepare yourself outside of just what the coaches are showing you.
Q: You played a large role in the secondary earlier in the season. Did you learn anything during that time?
A: There's things every week that you pick up on. You never want to feel like you have everything figured out. Sometimes you think you got it figured out and a vet will school you or something will come up on you that you haven't seen or you haven't been up against before. So there's always a learning curve, so there's something every week you learn and pick up.
Q: Do you feel like you were a little overwhelmed earlier in the season and has it slowed down for you since then?
A: There definitely was a lot on my plate with all that I was doing and learning and trying to comprehend. But at the end of the day I looked at it like if they put this much on me, they had that much confidence in me and depend on me. So it's up to me to take it as serious as they took me to do the job so I had to step up and prepare myself and not look at myself as a rookie. Coach always preaches to me that you're not a rookie. We expect you to step up now. So that's how I took it and that's how I prepared myself.
Q: Do you feel like the game slowed down for you?
A: Definitely. It's Week 13. It's definitely starting to slow down for me and I'm catching on, but I'm still humble, still focused in and trying to finish the season out strong.
Q: Did the dip in your playing time frustrate you?
A: Not at all. You want to be out there every play, but that's not possible. Things move around, coaches make changes and you've got to live with it. They're the coaches. I'm a man, so it's not something I took personally. It was just something that I felt like I could work harder. They give me more time to prepare myself and evaluate myself and just better my game.
Q: If Prince can't go, you'll probably move outside. Are you more comfortable there?
A: I'm a corner. I've played corner all my life. So I'm definitely comfortable out there. That's where I made my name at corner. I'm not saying that I downplay the nickel position. I love playing nickel. Wherever I'm needed I'll play, but at the end of the day I'm going to be playing corner. So I felt comfortable out there, I'm ready and I'm going to be prepared.

Hi all, I was just trying to play around with dragonfly and install mono. As mono depends on bison and bison depends among others on m4 I downloaded both (bison1875 / m4 1.4), installed m4 and tried to configure bison again. I'm alway getting the following error: . .. checking for m4... /usr/bin/m4 checking whether m4 supports frozen files... no configure: error: GNU M4 1.4 is required I tried the same on FreeBSD 4.10 and it worked ! sorry for disturbing you but I don't know where to ask else... thx, Martin

The Gaming Decade
The next decade is going to be a huge decade for the gaming space, bringing attention to it in the same way as the 1990s were the internet dotcom decade.

Why dictating online conduct is a bad idea.
Could the open-source community create an e-voting system that works?
The recent announcements of changes in the campaign management of the Dean presidential campaign raise some interesting questions. As political observers know by now, Joe Trippi, the man credited with creating a new political approach by using the Internet, has been replaced at the head of the Dean campaign by Roy Neel. In: Telecom Insider The impact of this change goes much beyond a simple change of management. Neel was president and CEO of the USTA, which bills itself as "the voice of the converged telecom industry". The USTA and the Internet crowds have often been on opposed end of the political spectrum. Historically, the USTA has been the organization that protects the Baby Bells. For example, the USTA believes that IP telephony should be subjected to the same charges as regular telephone carriers and does not support Wireless Number Portability. Granted, it is unfair to look at the current record of an organization and use it to paint a negative image of a former president. Maybe the organization changed radically from when he was their president. So let's look at his record: Neel is against regulations of telephone companies but against sharing lines, which he sees as anti-competitive. Here's…

Just three weeks removed from her heart attack and the massive crushing pain in her chest, the 52-year-old high school teacher is vowing to change her diet and eat less fat.
"That is a pain I never ever want to experience again," Broome said.
But a surprising long-term study found few benefits for older post-menopausal women who followed a low-fat diet, although some physicians have problems with the study and the findings.
The Women's Health Initiative, which had previously reported some controversial findings about hormone-replacement therapy increasing the risk of stroke, followed 19,000 women who were assigned to a low-fat diet and 29,000 women who were not.
After about eight years, there were no significant differences in coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease or stroke, although some of the risk factors were improved for those on the low-fat diet.
The diet achieved only a 9 percent reduction in the number of breast cancers in the low-fat group, and it had no significant effect on the risk for colorectal cancer.
The findings were published Wednesday in a series of reports in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"We're all disappointed that the theory of benefit from low-fat diets was not borne out clearly by this study," said Lawrence Phillips of Emory University School of Medicine, principal investigator for one of the 40 study sites.
"(However) the trends within the data offer room for some encouragement." For instance, women in the study who followed the diet faithfully had a 15 percent reduction in breast cancer, Dr. Phillips said. And those who took an aspirin as well appeared to have less risk of colorectal cancer, he said. Some of that may be borne out in follow-up studies, Dr. Phillips said.
However, there were a number of problems with the current efforts, particularly with the fact that the diet resulted in only an 8 percent reduction in total fat and a slight decrease in the LDL or bad cholesterol, some physicians pointed out. The amount of vegetables and fruits added amounted to little more than an extra serving a day.
While the primary goal was to reduce cancer risk, the aim was also to see whether the moderate diet changes could have a heart benefit.
"But, like most things in life, seldom is it that easy," said cardiologist Mac Bowman.
"I think you really have to have that greater reduction, whatever you do it dietarily, whether it's more stringent diet, more vigorous exercise, medication, you really have to get a more aggressive reduction in LDL cholesterol to get those benefits."
Likewise, women who had the highest fat reduction also had the lowest risk of breast cancer, said Thomas Samuel, a hematologist/oncologist at the Medical College of Georgia.
"I still believe that decreasing dietary fat intake does impact upon breast cancer risk. And it can be an important part of decreasing that risk," Dr. Samuel said.
When the intervention was started, the postmenopausal women had a mean age of 62, said general surgeon Randy Cooper, who specializes in breast cancer.
"I believe you have to look at women years before they're post-menopausal to know if it has any impact," he said.
Now that she is aiming to get healthy and help her heart, Broome said she is reading all she can and doing what she feels will keep her healthy, no matter what one study or another may say. And she is reading everything she can to make up her own mind.
"I need to be my own medical advocate," she said.

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
If you turn the oven off does the sparking stop?
Ok so is it all the spark leads that are sparking all the time or just the oven?
Ok its all that's sparking then its proberbly a fault on the spark generator box at the back.
To be honest when you get a fault like this on gas ovens were all the burners are sparking all the time its usually the spark box at fault.
What you can try first is give the spark lead inside the oven a clean.
If you are able to do this yourself then remove the rear panel and then from there take the spark lead out from the oven and check it and make sure its not broken along the wire so its touching the metal work in there.
If the spark lead looks ok then im afraid its looking like the spark box at fault here and it will need to be replaced to cure this.
The spark generator is working normally from the manual button and it normally turns all igniters on when the oven knob is turned on. It would then normally turn off after the burner has lit.
The only thing that makes these spark is the spark generator. When you press the button on the front it sends a signal to the box to start sparking.
So when you let go of the button it will stop.
It wont be that button otherwise it will spark all the time even when its turned off.
So either a spark lead it touching the earth or the box itself is faulty then that's what causes it to spark all the time.
Check it out if you can and see what you find. The spark box will be located at the back usually at the bottom.

Chinese authority says ConocoPhillips China finds 9 oil spill sources
BEIJING (AP) ' A Chinese authority says the local unit of ConocoPhillips has found nine oil spill sources amid intensifying pressure on the company to clean up oil spills in the Bohai Bay.
The North China Sea branch of the State Oceanic Administration says ConocoPhillips "admitted" Saturday that there were nine oil spill sources found on the northwest side of Platform C of the Penglai 19-3 oil field.
The oceanic agency says it has asked the company to conduct a thorough investigation.
ConocoPhillips China on Friday apologized for oil spills in the Bohai Bay and said the cleanup from the leaks is almost complete, with minimal impact to the environment. The June oil spills covered 324 square miles (840 square kilometers).

Remember the old days? Times were bloodier, women were meeker, and MANLY men strode across the lands, showing off their toned muscles to one and all. Yes, this was the era of Fist of the North Star, a tale of a post-apocalyptic era where ugly villains seized power over innocent villagers, and where one man fights for justice. That man's name was Kenshiro, lone inheritor of Hokuto Shinken, the Fist of the North Star, a powerful and deadly martial art that lets one paralyse or kill just by touching certain pressure points on the body.

I suppose this is more of a list of my favorite films that happen to be part of the Criterion Collection in the order that I love them, and not so much a judgement of the quality of the transfer or of the special features. But, man, how insanely good is the transfer of The Thin Red Line, right?
"In this world a man, himself, is nothing. And there ain't no world but this one."
"You're wrong there, Top. I seen another world."
Saying Seven Samurai is your favorite Kurosawa film, or your favorite samurai film, or your favorite Japanese film is like saying Hamlet is your favorite Shakespeare play. You feel bad that it's so obvious an answer, but it really is the best for a reason.
I know this is not most people's favorite Wes Anderson movie, and I just don't get it. Every frame of this film is flawless to me. It's my favorite film from my favorite living filmmaker.
The Thin Red Line is my favorite Terrence Malick movie, but I've probably watched this one more times. Perfect.
It's hard not to love this film that was shot near where I live. It perfectly captures the oddity and poetry of childhood. The movie is secretly really funny, but it doesn't want you to know that right away.
Pure joy from beginning to end. A movie tailor-made to make me smile.
"Bob is gone! He stole his car!"
This is probably the best movie about art and artists that I've ever seen. I've inducted Alec Guiness' Gulley Jimson into my personal pantheon of greatest fictional characters ever.
Sweet, sad, and hilarious. This is a great film to share with others. Now that I type that, I realize that I don't think I ever have. Perhaps I should follow my own advice.
Wow. I suppose this was the first Criterion edition that I ever owned. It was one of the first DVDs I ever owned, and my desire to see it, solely based on a preview that I had watched online, was one of the reasons I bought a DVD player in the first place. Sophomore year in college. 2002. Crazy. There's not much more that can be said about how good this movie is.
"I'm not talking about dance lessons. I'm talking about putting a brick through the other guy's windshield. I'm talking about takin' it out and choppin' it up."
Thanks for giving me access to this one, Criterion! A perfect combination of humor and social commentary.
I bought this, sight-unseen, because of the director and the cast, and because I have an obsession with films about professional killers that borders on the unseemly. The unparalleled acting talent on display and the brutal examination of mortality immediatly rocketed this one onto my all-time list.
Is a three-way tie just a cheat to fit twelve films on a Top 10 list? Sure. But I'd feel bad if I didn't recognize Olivier's brilliant adaptation. The film begins by recreating a the atmosphere of a period production of the play at the Globe, and then opens onto actual settings just as those watching the play are transported in their minds. A genius idea, connecting perfectly to the Chorus' comments about the abilities of "this unworthy scaffold" to "bring forth so great an object."

Michael Payton, the friendly and charming managing partner of shipping and insurance law firm Clyde & Co, showed another side of his personality last week.
Between his descriptions to a reporter from The Lawyer on Clydes' foreign policy, he revealed the fact that Eastcheap, the wide road linking the City with the start of the East End, was formerly used solely for butchers.
In fact, according to our research, the first meat sold on Eastcheap was during the reign of King John (1199-1216).
Payton – known normally as the mild-mannered gentleman of Eastcheap – seemed to enjoy the thought of himself as the 'Butcher of Eastcheap'. He even diverted his thoughts away from foreign policy to repeat the words aloud several times.
Surely some academic study into any possible personality similarities between lawyers and butchers now needs to begin.
On a similar point, Tulkinghorn would like to know if anyone else out there has witnessed the similarities between the traits of London taxi drivers and several barristers' clerks. Just a thought.
