We all know what Romance Novels are...
But have you heard of that book Fifty Shades of Grey? You know, the one that every woman and her mother read? — yeah, it's an entirely different kind of romance novel.
And man, these kind of books are a dark secret that women keep hidden from us. Yet they're the #1 book category on Amazon.com.
In fact, more of these "strange romance novels" are sold to women every year, adult website subscriptions are sold to men.
So when I learned all of this, I thought "well, whatever's going on in these books, women are really into it. I should have a look for myself." And wow — it's some crazy stuff. I was astonished, and the more I read, the more I understood about what women really want in a man.
Is there a certain "type" of man who women fall in love with?
As I read hundreds of these strange romance novels, I began to see patterns. Men would do or say a certain type of thing, and it would cause the women to get interested in them... then fantasize about them, and eventually... become totally obsessed.
And it didn't always make sense! For example, some pickup artist advice I'd read told me that I was supposed to be an "alpha male" and never let my guard down.
But in these books, there was always a point when the man became vulnerable, and admitted his flaws to a woman. This was great news for me, because I sure had a lot of flaws... and anyway, who wants to pretend to be someone he's not?
I began to put the "storyline" together — the step-by-step sequence that took a woman from being totally uninterested in a guy (and believe me, they almost always are at the start) to obsessed and ravenous for him.
After months, I had it figured out — I called it the "Obsession Story" in my notebook.
I was in the worst debt of my life, and as out of shape as I've ever been. But when this girl and I locked eyes at a dinner party, I wasn't afraid.
Sure, I was nervous... I still remember thinking that I'd screwed things up by pushing too hard and being a little too mysterious when she asked me about myself.
But within twenty minutes of us parting ways, she sent me a flirty facebook message. Two weeks later, we kissed for the first time, and three weeks after that, it was pretty much "official."
Since then, I've had three more long-term relationships, and after four years of dating my current girlfriend, we just got engaged!
I'm sure you understand that I don't want to use people or photos from my private life on this website, but I can tell you this — she's a total knockout, too ;)
I always like to say: a woman doesn't fall for lines or games — she falls for a man.
When I read all of these romance novels, I discovered that there were certain character traits that the men shared: they were dominant, mysterious, challenging, and genuine... in short, nothing like I was!
So yeah, I decoded the step-by-step system to go from meeting, to texting, to dating, to relationship...
...but more importantly, I discovered how to be the sort of man who woman obsess over.
Look — you can pick up a girl by faking it. But you can't fake love or marriage...
That's why it always burns me up when I hear someone say "just be yourself." Who I was, well... wasn't good enough for the women I wanted!
I had a burning desire to become a better guy, and have women like me for me.
So while I've got a whole bunch of killer tips, techniques, and tricks to share, they're mere training wheels — examples of these character traits, to teach you how to develop them on your own.
It took me years to perfect all of this, and it sure didn't happen intentionally. But when one of my clients got engaged, he implored me to put everything I taught into a training course that I could share with more guys...
20 men paid $2000 to attend my seminar, where I revealed my step-by-step system, and personally coached them through their sticking points. And that's what I'm here to tell you about today.
I've produced an 18-hour, high-definition seminar where I break down the step-by-step system, and show you how to become the guy who women obsess over. Download it from my brain to yours in just a few minutes from now.
I want you to apply what I teach. So I've created exercises and games that will make it fun to learn the obsession story, and everything else in the course. These exercises are designed to wire these secrets deep into your neurons.
As you may be discovering, I have an overwhelming passion for sharing what I've discovered, and helping men become more confident and better with women. So I'll reward you with additional training programs as you make your way through the Girlfriend Activation System.

Fulfilling her Obsession Story means being an obsession-worthy man. In this segment, Christian gives you the formula and demonstrates the traits.

The audience takes time to ask questions about all of the material covered up to this point, and Christian takes time to make sure that no question is left unanswered.
Christian finally pulls all of the pieces together, to reveal the Obsession Story, and to show you how to stay one step ahead in the dating game.
Before jumping into the specifics of the Obsession Story and the dating game, Christian shares some thoughts and insights on the material covered in Day 1. Essential viewing.
"How do I approach her?" It's one of the most common questions that a dating coach receives, and Christian will start to break it down for you here.
It all starts with the first impression, and when it comes to getting women to approch you, there's nothing better than Christian's unique take on King Game.
Master Coach Nick Sparks - a man who's personally coached men to approach thousands of women - joins once again to share his tips and secrets on making a great first impression.
It's the question that's been asked a thousand times to a thousand dating coaches: "what do I say to start a conversation"? Christian shares his answers here.
You're in the friend zone but you want more. In this segment, Christian reveals his secret, so-good-it-should-be-patented technique for resetting her impression and turning things around.
Once you've made a great first impression, it's time to pass through the inspection gauntlet. Christian gives you the map in this segment.
Most men approach the first date with a combination of fear, anxiety and loathing. But after this segment, you'll see exactly how to rock it, have a great time, and have her loving it.
It's a date that most men can't pull off early in the relationship - inviting her out with friends. But after you learn Christian's tips, you'll be able to use this date to get her even more invested in you.
You've done everything right, and it's time to take things to the next level. Here's the step-by-step date that turns up the heat and has her waking up next to you in the morning.
It's the final phase of the Obsession Story before she's your girlfriend, but there's still a lot to get right. After this segment, you'll be one step ahead of the game and get everything right.
It's been a long two days, and in this final segment, Christian shares his candid thoughts about how to put the training to work, and what's next for you.
Bonus training modules on overcoming self-doubt, being more confident when you're nervous, and dealing with anxiety.
You'll learn the strategy to get a woman who's unattainable. Either she friend-zoned you or she has a boyfriend. Use this and she'll think about what a mistake she made. And fair warning: women can become very aggressive when they want to prove themselves to you.
Know how and when to make each move; asking her out, going for the kiss, escalating to the hookup and landing the relationship. Let me show you step-by-step exactly what she secretly wants you to do.
Learn the seven traits of the men who women obsess over. I'll give you examples and demonstrations, and once you've started to implement them, you'll see just how easy it is to make a woman fall for the real you.
You're a good guy who wants a great woman, and you don't want to play games. When you follow the proven GFAS playbook, you'll reliably go from step to step, cutting the drama and B.S., and having fun falling for a woman who's also falling for you.
I get letters every day from men who have invested in the Girlfriend Activation System. They tell me they are much more confident, way more charismatic, and far, far more attractive to women now.
These men tell me they understand a lot more about women, and why they fall for a certain type of man. It makes my day to hear a guy is finally in a happy, fulfilling relationship with the woman he wants to be with.
And not just that, but I get a lot of letters saying how these men feel a profound shift inside themselves, and how their confidence and ability to hold space with a woman has improved dramatically.
I want you to start having a lot more fun with women, and socializing in general. I want to help you experience much better responses from both women and men (a lot of guys tell me that the principles in the GFAS have helped them tremendously at work).
I've sold over 150,000 copies of the Girlfriend Activation System, and received more success stories than I can keep track of. I can't wait to hear about your results.
"I was at the end of my rope with a woman who I had asked to marry me... one night she said to me "I can't do this, I dont love you the way you love me. I was at home drinking myself into a stupor and self medicating when I saw your video on facebook... So now the problem is that a lot of women are noticing that there is something different about me and she is no longer the one that I want. I deserve better!! I am happy to say that this course was worth a thousand times what I paid and would do it all over again..."
"Christian, I wanted to email you back and tell you how amazing this program has been for me! While I am still in the early stages of the learning process I have already seen some of the results! Thank you so much Christian for this life changing experience! I truly don't think this would have been possible with out your help!"
"I can say that by applying the lessons taught in the GFAS... I can attract any person I have the desire to (I know that sounds cocky, and I would say there are still outliers, though I haven't experienced one). I honestly feel like a ten because of these three works of art you guys have brought into my life, and people can't get enough of me. Girls I used to hit on are asking ME out, girls with boyfriends and HUSBANDS... (Not too proud that they're not faithful, but that's not my fault)."
"To make an even longer story short, I went out and got that dream job, I got that girl and others who are way out of my league. That's really all it came down to, is just being the man I want to be, and to be interesting, random and fun + exciting without being flaky or weird. This is who I am now, and it's something/ someone I was able to mold myself into. And I am happy man. I owe it to you and I also owe it to those guys who literally did me a favor by sleeping with my ex. None of this would have been possible without your system and those guys haha. Weird, but true. Thanks a ton man."
"The biggest thing that I was missing is dominance, body mechanics, breaking space and elevation. Once I started applying these things I instantly saw results. I've worked on the campus of [REDACTED] for ten years and this place is loaded with beautiful women. I've maybe had ten dates within that period of time. Now within the last week by just practicing what I have learned I got six phone numbers in two days! I have a date with a smoking hot girl now on Friday."
"Thanks for all your doing man. I actually didn't think this would be legit, but now I'm interested in every course you have and everything you have to say. In one week, I stopped getting drunk every day, quit smoking cigarettes, went to the gym for the first time in 129 days (as the clerk had to inform me), went on an epic bike ride, had 1 semi-hookup, and I'm generally feeling better."
This is a subliminal training course that I hired a hypnotist to produce. I was fairly skeptical of hypnosis until I experienced it myself, but once I did, I knew that I had to pass this gift along. It will upgrade your subconscious mind with the inner voice of a man who's been successful with women for his entire life.
The seminar that teaches how to approach any woman, without risking rejection, and have her opening up to you in about 30 seconds. Using the GFAS, you'll often find women approaching you, but for those times when you see someone you just have to meet, this is how you'll do it.
In this seminar, I teach a dead-simple conversation formula, to ensure that you'll never run out to things to say, or have those uncomfortable silences or stall-outs with women. Combined with the conversational materials in the GFAS, your conversation skills and charm are going to hit "Bill Clinton" levels.
When you use the Girlfriend Activation System, you'll awaken a woman's naughty side in ways that might surprise you. So I thought it'd be fun to teach you how to turn women on over text, exchange exciting photos in a smooth way, and so on. I don't sell this as a standalone, but if I did, I'd ask $197 for it (and let's face it, guys would stuff my pockets for these secrets!)
You know by now that I'm all about "becoming a better man." So my research extended beyond literotica, and I began to focus on men who were "tens" with business and life. In this course, I reveal what I learn. It's normally $147 per month, but you'll get to try it for free for 14 days, and if you like it, then you can lock in a discounted rate of $67 per month. This is the best course I've ever made, and I'm really excited to let you take a peek at it.
My Private Members Community is built for any screen size, so you can watch the course on your 60" LED TV (woot, big me!), your 5" phone (super little me) or anything in between... and it'll still work beautifully.
Let's say you don't like the way I look, and can't stand watching my videos... well, I've still got you covered. You can download the 300-page eBook and learn that way (if you're a reader), as well as full MP3's of the course (if you're an auditory learner). And I'm including the full powerpoint deck, so if you are watching the videos, you can follow along and take notes in the margins.
There's a reason I call it a Private Members Community. In my forums, you can post your specific questions and situations, and get quick answers and help from me, my coaches, and other guys who are going down the same path. And while I give pretty damn good advice, just wait until the legendary Dr. Sys replies to you... this guy has helped more guys get out of "impossible" situations than coach Pat Riley.
I've sold over 150,000 copies of the Girlfriend Activation System, so there are a lot of men in my community. And I thought, wouldn't it be great to help them find other guys with similar interests and life goals, and take their connections offline, as wingmen, workout partners, or heck... even to find a couch to crash on? That's what you'll be able to do with the Social Connect, and while it's currently in beta, it's free with your purchase of the GFAS.

Obviously, I wouldn't be putting my face and name on this if I didn't believe in it. But I know, I know... it's still the Internet, and we're talking about a course called the freaking Girlfriend Activation System, and you're probably wondering... is this legit?
So here's my guarantee: you have 365 days, from the date of your purchase, to evaluate the course. And if you don't think it was an amazing use of your hard-earned money, then just email or call, and we'll refund you on the spot.

And to be honest, we get just as many incredible testimonials about them as we do about the course itself. We have an awesome company culture, and as you'll find if you ever talk to them, they are super easy to work with, and I've tasked them with one goal: make the men who put their trust in me ecstatic when they call in.
If there's a woman who you've got your eye on, are you going to leave it to "hope" or "chance"? Because there's another really cool option:
Get my system, which is based on real female psychology, become the man who she'll obsess over, and learn the step-by-step method that I've used to land the incredible relationships with amazing women.
Over 150,000 guys made that choice, and they've had no problem paying $197 for those results (honestly, that's less than what most guys spend on a few dates!)
But as you'll learn if you watch the presentation, I recently agreed to lower the price to $67, in honor of the guy who filmed the course. He just got engaged, and asked me to take on a new "class of 2000" men to personally coach in my members community.
If you come back to this page, I can't guarantee that you'll be able to get the course for the sale price you see here today, so come join me and let's make this happen for you, too.

Bar Italia London Reviews
21 reviews
Best Bar for Brunch! Viva Bar Italia! Apr 14, 2011
Where do you go for a late, late brunch after you've enjoyed too much in London?
You know how it is after a night filled with alcohol and stuff, you wake up craving for real breakfast, excellent coffee, great sandwiches, good place and perhaps good crowd?
All of the above, I've found in Bar Italia. Location wise, it is right at the heart of action and you know Soho, don't you! Love the fact that there are tables outside which looked pretty cozy for just savoring your food and downing your drinks and at the same time, the interiors looked warm and inviting. It felt like my resident bar/coffee shop even if it was just my first time to go. True to the establishment name itself, Italy was spelled all over the place, The flags, the logos, heck even the famous celebs, are all about Italia and are naturally found all over the place. There's a huge LCD screen mounted for the TV aficionados, which I guess comes pretty handy during the must-not-miss huge sporting events. I ordered myself their special Italy hot chocolate, one of the best I've tried in the world and their specialty, tuna-tomato-cheese sandwich, which came in 4 small sandwiches. What can I say but divine!
So here's raising a glass to Bar Italia and the many more visits that I'd be making, this time won't be for brunch for sure! ;)

Ben Christensen is ShoreTel's Fan of the Month for March
ShoreTel is pleased to introduce and congratulate our ShoreTel Fan-of-the-Month for March, 2016: Ben Christensen, a ShoreTel enthusiast.
Ben is the vice president and CIO at Weber State Credit Union, which is located in Ogden, Utah and has 10,000 members and a staff of 43 employees. During the previous nine years, Weber State Credit Union had been using a phone system which had become too expensive to scale. When it came to choosing a new communications solution to accommodate growth, Ben discovered that ShoreTel was clearly a natural fit.
Read more about why Ben decided to choose ShoreTel.
What made you decide to deploy ShoreTel UC rather than upgrade your existing Mitel system?
Our Mitel 3300 system was at the end of life and was unable to scale. Adding agents or handsets meant an expensive hardware and software upgrade. Maintenance was an additional cost since we don't have the telephony expertise to manage a complex system in-house. At that point, it made more sense to look at a new phone system.
What led you to choose ShoreTel?
I've been involved in different telecom solutions at other institutions and I was very familiar with Cisco and Avaya, the old Nortel, and NEC. I knew what functionality we were looking for and at what price point. As I started to dig deeper into ShoreTel and talk with different resources, I was sold.
Since making the decision to deploy ShoreTel, it became clear that ShoreTel VoIP UC and ShoreTel Enterprise Contact Center are a natural fit for Weber State Credit Union. Integration with our existing business applications, like Symitar and IVR, was a requirement that other vendors could not fulfill. The Symitar integration provides our agents with information about the member from an auto pop feature, which has improved efficiency and customer service.
What ShoreTel features have added the most value to Weber State Credit Union?
ShoreTel's robust functionality has changed the way our employees do business. Using ShoreTel's instant messaging has enabled users to migrate away from managing calls on the handset to the desktop for basic functions like call forwarding, transferring a call, setting up conference calls, and recording phone calls. Now they just click on the screen.
ShoreTel's customizable reporting capabilities offer historical and real-time snapshots of efficiency, and the auto attendant has lightened the load in the contact center. The auto attendant offers callers several different options and directs the member to the right department. Now calls are answered within the first 30 seconds.
If another credit union asked about your ShoreTel experience, what would you say?
ShoreTel is a dynamic, intuitive, robust and manageable solution. The phone system, auto attendant, reporting and 98% of the features were deployed within a six-week window. Since we went live, we've had zero downtime. We have redundancy on every database and all of it's automated. On a scale of 1 to 10, ShoreTel is absolutely a 10.
Read more about Ben's experience and insights in the Weber State Credit Union case study.

Wolves are demanding £12 million for striker Steven Fletcher.
The Journal says the Black Cats have already held preliminary discussions with Fletcher's Edinburgh-based agent and were fed back positive messages about the striker's willingness to relocate to Wearside and spearhead a refreshed Sunderland squad.
But it will take at least £12million to encourage Wolves to start talking - while an astonishing fee of £14million is also being talked about in the Black Country.

Predictive value of electrocorticography in epilepsy patients with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis undergoing selective amygdalohippocampectomy
Prädiktiver Wert der Elektroenzephalographie bei Patienten mit einseitiger hippocampaler Sklerose bei selektiver Amygdalohippokampektomie
Search Medline for
|May 4, 2005
To evaluate the predictive value of intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) in patients with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis (HS) undergoing transsylvian selective amygdalohippocampectomy (sAHE).
ECoG was recorded before and after resection in 22 patients with medically resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. The sAHE was performed, regardless of ECoG findings. ECoG findings recorded from the mesiobasal temporal lobe (MTL) and lateral temporal lobe (LTL) before and after the sAHE were correlated with seizure outcome 12 months later (group 1: completely seizure free, group 2: not completely seizure free).
Ten patients had right sided and 12 left sided HS. Average age was 37.1 years. Pre-resection spikes were restricted to the MTL in 11 patients (50%) and to the LTL in one (4.5%). In three patients (13.6%) spikes were recorded from MTL and LTL and in seven (31.8%) no spikes were recorded before the resection. Fifteen patients (68%) remained completely seizure free and 19 (86%) were in Engel's class I postoperatively. Patients with preresection spikes restricted to the MTL (n=11) remained seizure free more frequently (9/11, 82%) as compared to other patients (6/11, 55%; p=0.36). Two of four patients with LTLspikes and four of seven patients without preresection spikes remained seizure free. The frequency of preresection spikes and the persistence of preresection spikes in the postresection ECoG were not significantly related to the seizure outcome.
Pre-resection ECoG may be helpful in the prediction of seizure outcome in patients undergoing sAHE for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Especially patients with preresection spikes restricted to the MTL seem to have a favourable postresectional outcome. Based on the differences found in this pilot study, calculations indicated that a study including more than 100 patients is needed to determine the predictive value of ECoG in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

After surviving the most deadly strain of malaria, 34-year-old Mandy George from Newton is challenging herself to live on just £1 a day in order to raise money for the charity Malaria No More UK.
This limited budget is to reflect the daily reality of the 1.2 billion people around the world who live below the poverty line, with Mandy seeing if she can afford all her food and drink from March 31 to April 4 on only £1 a day.
It was fifteen months ago that Mandy contracted malaria falciparum while working as part of the earthquake recovery effort in Haiti, and when it led to an onset of jaundice and pneumonia the doctors did not expect her to survive.
She said: "The parasite attacked all my organs. My body went into septic shock ‑ lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach ‑ you name it, it failed."
After four weeks in intensive care and six months of recovery, Mandy now wants to use her story to raise awareness and funds in order to help save lives from malaria.
Mandy's personal challenge previews the national Live Below the Line week taking place between April 28 and May 2, and she hopes that by trying it out and documenting her experiences with a daily diary, she will prove that anyone can do it and encourage others to have a go themselves.
Day 1 of her week living on £1 a day is below, with more daily updates to come on the Journal website.
You can also follow her challenge via Twitter @MandyGeorge and sponsor Mandy by going to www.livebelowtheline.com/me/mandyjgeorge
For further information about the Live Below the Line campaign, or to sign up to the challenge yourself, please visit www.livebelowtheline.com/uk
Mandy George ‑ Live Below the Line food diary
Day 1: 31/03/14
The challenge kicked off today! The 1st shock was the lack of caffeine - I've opted for nutrition over stimulants. My budget only stretches to 3 carefully planned meals per day, no snacks, no drinks but water and no eating or drinking out!
I started with a bowl of water based porridge made honey and diced apple. Not too bad. Lunch was quite tasty: an invented rice and lentil dish with onion, carrot and frozen spinach. I budgeted for 1tbs of oil daily and a sprinkle of mixed spice – that + the ½ vegetable stock cube gave good flavour!
I'm now battling with afternoon hunger pangs by sipping water. I was tempted to snack on a carrot but if I diminish my small supply then it will be plain boiled rice by the end of the week. So I'm sitting tight until dinner which is leftovers from lunch. I'm starting to realise just how much unnecessary food I eat every day!

CryoSat Provides First Ice-Thickness Map Of Earth
The European Space Agency (ESA) released the first map of sea-ice thickness from its CryoSat mission Tuesday at the Paris Air and Space Show.
The CryoSat spacecraft sits at an altitude of 434 miles above the Earth delivering precise measurements to study changes in the thickness of Earth's ice.ESA said that in order to fully understand how climate change is affecting the polar regions there is a need to determine exactly how the thickness of the ice is changing.
CryoSat initially launched in 2005, but the original satellite was lost due to a launch failure.
The newest satellite launched in April 2010 and now it has produced a map of the Earth's ice thickness.
Duncan Wingham, from the National Space Institute at the Technical University of Denmark, said while presenting the map at the Le Bourget air and space show: "A new mission is always risky. There's quite a long wait and then everyone gets to see if it really can deliver.
"What's really nice about these results is that they show not only that the hardware is really excellent "" which we already knew "" but that it can deliver the geophysical information we need too.
"It's a credit to the teams at ESA and UCL who have worked really hard and I'm very happy with these new results."
The satellite measures the height of the sea ice above the water line to calculate the thickness. The measurements used to generate this first map of the Arctic were from January and February 2011.
The new map shows the lineations in the central Arctic that reflect the ice's response to wind stress.
"This major result comes just one year after launch. It is another important step towards achieving one of the primary objectives of the mission; namely, to determine how much the sea ice in the Arctic is thinning in response to a changing climate," Volker Liebig, ESA's Director of Earth Observation Programs, said at the event.
CryoSat also offers an ice map of Antarctica for the first time from space.
ESA said details of the edge of the ice sheet where it meets the ocean can be closely monitored due to the satellite's sophisticated radar techniques.
"It is very satisfying to see these exciting results," ESA's Richard Francis, who was the CryoSat-2 Project Manager during its development, said in a statement.
"It has taken about ten years to convert the initial proposal into a flying mission: ten years of hard work and dedication from a core team of less than a hundred people, ably assisted with crucial expertise from a few hundred more."
ESA's CryoSat Mission Manager, Tommaso Parrinello, said in a statement, "These first results are very exciting as we begin to see the mission's potential realized.
"The coming months will be dedicated to completing the picture to gain better insight into how polar ice is changing."

February 23rd, 2009
At a recent workshop, "Building a Business in Challenging Times," we discussed the role of sales management. I started to describe the various job functions of a sales manager, or what we believe at Acumen Management are the actions that must be focused on to build a high-performance sales organization.
I covered the concepts of training, metrics management, hiring/interviewing, sales coaching/mentoring, marketing campaigns and general operational management items that make up the day/week of any sales leader. The result of the discussion brought out Acumen's theorem on "the rigors of cadence."
Successful sales organizations are managed with discipline, accountability and control. We will explore each of these words in the next three blogs. But let's start with the concepts in the rigors of cadence, which means that sales managers must be rigorous in their expectations, challenging on training programs and they must perform their management duties of training, coaching, and operation management with a rhythmic pattern. This ongoing standardization and expectation brings a professional approach to everything, from the Monday morning sales meeting, to regularly planned sales training events, to the monthly sales management dashboard evaluation and to the quarterly salesperson development plan and formal review.
Successful sales managers build process and a prescriptive methodology that creates the discipline, accountability and control that creates predictable revenue. Future blogs will discuss what we mean by discipline, accountability and control, and how to bring the rigors of cadence to your sales organizations.

The retired teacher, aged 60, bludgeoned his wife Carol to death with an ice axe then dumped her body in bags in Coniston Water, in the Lake District, in July 1976. The body of the mother of three remained there for 21 years until divers found it in 1997, still in a blue baby-doll nightdress.
Today, a jury at Manchester crown court rejected Park's defence that he was a loving husband, and that Carol had run away with a "mystery lover".
Detectives say that, as Park remained at liberty and successive murder teams toiled without any DNA, other physical evidence or witnesses, he must have believed that he had carried out the perfect crime.
Even when the jurors were considering their verdict after a ten week trial, he had confidently told reporters he would be giving interviews after his release. Instead, he was tonight beginning a mandatory life sentence after being convicted by a jury of seven women and five men.
The judge, Mr Justice McCombe told him he must serve at least 15 years. "I am not sure there was a significant degree of planning ... there was, however, considerable violence," Judge McCombe said. "I also have to take into account this terrible concealment of this body that led to so much suffering to so many people for such a long time."
Park was led from the dock in a trance-like state, holding his hands out before him and grasping for the rail before being taken down. Earlier, as the verdict was announced, his son Jeremy sat with his arm around close family members. Park's third wife, Jenny, burst into tears.
While giving evidence in his defence, Park had described the couple's early relationship as "love's young dream".
He said that, on the day of her disappearance, the family had planned to take a day trip to Blackpool but that his wife had felt unwell and had chosen not to join them. He claimed he and the three children returned to the family home in Leece, near Barrow, Cumbria, which Park had built, to find Carol had vanished.
The court heard she had been involved in a number of affairs with different men and that the couple had an unstable relationship and complicated love life. Both had been sleeping with other partners.
When Carol vanished, Park told police about his wife's affairs and said she had simply left the family home and gone off with another man.
Park had reported his wife missing - not to police but through his solicitor - on September 4 1976, six weeks after her disappearance. Officers initially carried out a routine investigation on the basis that she was a missing person. Park did not make any emotional appeals for his wife to return.
Detective Chief Inspector Keith Churchman, the senior officer in the case, said his colleagues in 1976 had done all they could with what they had to work with at the time. "No one was saying Gordon Park had killed his wife. It was dealt with as a 'missing from home'," he said.
Before the body was found by chance, the police's leads had amounted to nothing. The divers who discovered it were exploring a part of Coniston not normally used for diving because the water is extremely murky.
The body had landed on an underwater plateau, 270 yards from shore and 80ft below the surface. If it had been dumped a few yards further from the shore, it would have sunk to the bottom, probably forever, police said. "It was only by sheer luck she was found - he very nearly got away with it," one detective said.
After the body was found, police descended on Park's home and his boat, the Mrs J, searching them as he enjoyed a cycling holiday in France with his third wife.
He was arrested and charged with murder, but in January 1998 the crown prosecution service decided there was not enough evidence to bring a prosecution. Park, who had been in custody on remand, was freed, but the case was never closed.
In 2002, Chief Inspector Churchman took over the investigation, looking at all the evidence as far back as 1976 to see whether anything had been missed. The process turned up new evidence.
Analysis of the stones used to weigh down the body revealed they had come from Park's home. Detectives were contacted by Michael Wainwright, a fellow inmate of Park's when he was on remand at Preston prison. He told them of an alleged prison confession Park had made, admitting his guilt.
Detectives went back to the CPS with the new evidence, and it agreed to run a trial. Park was rearrested and charged for a second time in January 2004.
There was not one single piece of evidence that pointed "indisputably" to Park being the killer, the trial heard. However when taken together, the clues could only point to the defendant and not some "mysterious stranger or secret lover", prosecutor Alistair Webster QC told the jury.

Pretty Holiday[CD]
~ Kenny Byrka(Duplicated CD)
Product Notes
After 2 full albums and four years of touring throughout Canada, USA, UK and New Zealand, Sleddogs front man Kenny Byrka has assembled his debut solo project titled 'Pretty Holiday". Fostered by a desire to bring many of his more personal songs to life and express them on recorded format, ex -Odds singer/songwriter and Vancouver based producer Steven Drake was summoned to record the first single and title track, Pretty Holiday. Ace guitarist Danny McBride (Chris De Burgh) co-produced the balance of the project with Kenny. This album is more of a reflection of the other side of Kenny's musical mind frame and writing style. There are a few road stories and many characterizations that have arisen out of the last four years of touring, the overall mood of the album ventures further from the classic Rock sounds and the introspective lyrical style of Sleddogs material. There is a definite folk/rock rooted thread coming through on the new record reflecting Kenny's musical background where he grew up on the Canadian Prairies just outside of Winnipeg MB. He unconsciously studied his mom and dad's record collection... The likes of Burton Cummings, CCR, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Simon and Garfunkel, Jim Croce and Neil Diamond. "As a child I would drift off each night with the vinyl waves echoing from the living room below where that 70's tank-like Electrahome was parked...I suppose a part of those vocal timbres and chord changes stuck somewhere in the back of my pillow." There is also a reoccurring feel to the majority of the songs that makes you want to move, groove and shake something whether you are in your teens or on retirement time. The songs are all written from the piano or acoustic guitars retaining that idea through the recording process, which also includes the exceptional drumming grooves of The Tragically Hip's Johnny Fay. The ten-track album is being recorded in the Warehouse Studios in Vancouver. With scheduled album release for Sring 2009, Kenny will be performing throughout clubs and campuses across Canada.

This morning we start off with a city tour of Havana including a stop at Revolution Square and the Capitolio Building. We then drive (approx. 4 hours) towards Santa Clara, site of the last battle of the Cuban revolution, stopping for lunch on the way. In December 1958 Che Guevara and his troops ambushed an armoured train carrying arms to Santiago de Cuba and this was a major turning point in the revolution. We visit the train museum and the Mausoleum of Che Guevara and his comrades who died in Bolivia. The museum attached to the Mausoleum has many of his former belongings and is a fascinating insight into one of the 20th Centuries most revered icons. After visiting Che's Mausoleum we check into our hotel for the night. This evening is free to enjoy dinner in the hotel or explore one of Santa Clara's Paladars. Standard Hotel Meals included: Breakfast Lunch Day 3 To the Escambray mountains for nature trail walk in Topes de Collantes; swim at waterfall; to Trinidad.

We return to Guanayara and enjoy a Cuban country lunch before getting back on the bus. We then continue to Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988 and perhaps the best-preserved colonial town on the island. Exploring Trinidad is like stepping back in time, the cobbled streets and horse drawn transportation whisks you back to colonial times. There are many interesting museums housed in old colonial buildings to visit in the daytime, but it is as the sun sets that Trinidad really comes to life. We recommend a visit to Casa de la Trova for traditional Cuban music and dancing! Casa Particulares Meals included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner Day 4 Tour of Trinidad town; afternoon at Playa Ancon; salsa class. After a delicious breakfast we enjoy an orientation tour of Trinidad, visiting this time capsule city. It's like going back in time, seeing the way people lived in the past. Once the capital of Cuba's sugar production, it's now a sleepy backwater with cobble stoned streets and pretty pastel coloured colonial buildings. A great place to stock up on souvenirs in the handicrafts markets. You'll visit Museo Romántico to see the way people lived 200 years ago. After we have lunch, it's beach time! Ancon beach is about 15 minutes' drive from Trinidad and it's a picture perfect, gorgeous sandy Caribbean beach. Enjoy the crystal clear waters this afternoon! In the late afternoon, we return to Trinidad where we'll enjoy an introductory salsa class with local teachers in a Cuban home close to your casa particular. The evening is free to explore. You and your family will probably want to explore some of the delicious paladar restaurants in Trinidad tonight.

We then continue on to Playa Larga where we check into our casas particulares for the night. Casa Particulares Meals included: Breakfast Dinner Day 6 Search for flamingos and hummingbirds at the Zapata peninsula; snorkelling at Caleta Buena. This morning we get up early and head into the Zapata Swamp Park for some birdwatching. There are lots of birds to see in this area, including the world's smallest (Bee Hummingbird), the Cuban National Bird (very colourful Tocororo) and a colony of pink flamingos! We continue along the Bay of Pigs Coastline and stop in Playa Giron for an optional visit to the museum dedicated to the US Invasion of Cuba in 1961. There may be the opportunity to visit a local school in the area. From here we continue a short distance to have lunch in Caleta Buena. It's a beautiful spot, a place where an underground river meets the sea and a great place to have a go at snorkelling. There's a natural pool to swim, filled with tropical fish. Casa Particulares Meals included: Breakfast Lunch Day 7 Transfer to Havana; tour of the old town in vintage cars. After breakfast we check out of our casa particular and return to Havana arriving in time for lunch and check into our hotel.

Looking Back at this Years Draft
The draft has come and gone, and now the Indians are seeing signings trickle in. There is little doubt that the draft has seen a drastic change this year thanks to new rules. I thought it would be a good time to look back on the entire draft to see what was good, bad, and who did well, or not so well. Also to focus a bit on the Indians draft, who I like and what the Indians approach seems to be in this new draft format.
The first major change people are seeing right now is the speed at which players are signing. There is a new level of interest with these signings, and that is seeing the amount of money these players have signed for. Thanks to the new slotting pool's, teams can only spend so much.
For example, the first pick had a slotting value of 7.2 million, and Correa signed for 4.5 million. That meant Houston had 2.7 million to spend all over the draft. I will get back to Houston in a bit, but that extra cash has already paid off for them.
Thus far I have seen five official signings in the Indians top ten, but let's first look at the three seniors, Joe Wendle, Jacob Lee, and Josh Martin. They will help show just how the draft has changed, and why signing bonus numbers are so important. Those three players signed for 10K, 2.5K, and 5K respectively. I know some fans might think that the Indians were cheap, but what they really did with those 3 picks is save 411K to use later. If you think that's bad, check out Boston who gave their 7th rounder 1K to sign, which is often what an undrafted free agent gets. It also showed me the value of signability.
Jacob Lee was a 9th round pick, and Josh Martin a 10th rounder, yet Martin got twice as much. Yet typically, one would think it would be the 9th rounder who would get more. The Indians liked both players, but you do have to wonder if a part of the reason for the early draft spot was because one player was willing to sign cheaper. The pool forced teams to be ruthless and save every dollar they could to make sure they could use that money to sign other picks. In a bizarre way, players who were willing to sign cheaply became more valuable. Its why James Ramsey went in the first round to St. Louis, he is a good player, but the money they saved with him, will help with their second rounder. In the biggest over slot I have seen they signed Carson Kelly, who was in my top 35, for 1.1 million over slot. They are going to pay him more than twice what they pay Ramsey. The reason Ramsey went so early was that even though he was a top 100 talent, he was going to sign cheap, which made him extremely valuable in a draft with a money pool.
I would be surprised if the Indians don't sign every pick in their top ten. It is against the rules to make pre draft deals, but every team had a price figure it would cost to sign a player. They checked multiple times I am sure, and probably checked again before drafting. If a player changed their mind, the teams lost the picks slotting value. If you looked back at the first pick again it would mean that if Correa had refused to sign Houston would have lost 7.2 million from its total pool value. Teams were not messing around and risking the loss of value. If they did not think they could sign a player in the top ten then they took a cheaper signable guy, so they would have more money to spend later. It was better to take a player who would sign for 1K, then to take a risk on a player who was unlikely to sign.
My favorite draft was that of the Houston Astros. They played the new draft perfectly. Carlos Correa cost 4.5 million. The highest bonus thus far is Byron Buxton at 6 million. Both of those players were at the top of my board, without a 1.5 million dollar difference at all. That money different alone might allow them to add Hunter Virant, who the Astros took in the 11th round. I was actually critical of the Astros for drafting Virant in the 11th, wondering why they wasted a pick on an unsignable player. Yet it was pure genius in retrospect. They took a gamble on who was far and away the best player on the board, a top 40 player in the draft. If they failed to sign him it did not affect their signing pool, but if they did end up having the money to sign him it's like they just add a supplemental first who would already be one of their top ten prospects. This is on top of players like Rio Ruiz, who suffered a blood clot, or he would have been a first rounder to me, and Lance McCullers JR, who has the second best ceiling of any pitcher in this draft. The Astros had a weak system and used the draft to add a lot of talent. They figured out the system and played it perfectly.
The draft I disliked the most was the Washington Nationals. Their draft was the complete opposite of Houston's, because they got one player then a bunch of lesser talent. Lucas Giolito has an amazing amount of talent, but do you really want to bet your whole draft on a single high school arm that has already had elbow issues. They drafted two guys who were top 100 talents, while half of their top ten were not even listed in BA's top 500. Even crazier is that they signed those guys for some decent change. I think their lowest bonus in their top 10 picks was 25K; they drafted lesser guys and paid them solid money. They have signed seven of their top ten and have managed to save almost 700K, but that is not enough to get Giolito, I think he is going to want 3 million, so they need to save close to 900K. For me, I just have a hard time with a draft that is strongly based around one player. Prospects are extremely volatile, and first rounder's still have a huge bust rate. I will also take a bunch of good talent over one great player.
As for the Indians draft, I loved how they played this draft. They took an approach very similar to what Houston did. I might have preferred another bat early, but I understand the approach. The Indians love to get up the middle players; it has been a constant theme when they add talent. They believe that Tyler Naquin is a centerfielder going forward. He brings two plus tools, hitting and his arm which is actually plus plus. The only hitter who I thought could have more potential plus features at that point was Richie Shaffer who had eye, power, and defense, but I am not sure if any of them had plus plus potential. Much like Stephen Piscotty, another bat I loved, neither were up the middle guys. I had Naquin ranked 22, so 15 is a bit of a reach, but since he signed for 500K under slot then it's hard for me to argue. I would rather have Naquin, Nelson Rodriquez, Logan Vick, and Andrew Calica then just grabbing a slightly better talent and signing him for slot. One more thought on Naquin, this guy can hit. Just in terms of hitting, I think he has the potential to put up Victor Martinez type numbers minus the power. In other words, he has the potential to deliver a high average, low strike outs, and a whole mess of doubles.
As a whole, this is one of my favorite drafts since I started covering the Indians. In round two, they took high school righty Mitchell Brown, with a good arsenal of pitches who should have gone in the supplemental round. I am always intrigued by a cold weather arm like Brown; often these players end up outperforming expectations. The reason is that they don't get as many starts as players in warmer climates, so sometimes they get a bit overlooked as well. This was, to me at least, the major reason Mike Trout ended up being a late first rounder. It was a warm winter, and I know Brown was thoroughly scouted, but you still have to wonder. Plus he is the son of an athlete; his father was a power lifter, who helped him work on his training regimen. So I doubt he is a guy who is ever going to end up with a tired arm. He was signed 160K over slot, which I have no problem with. I fully expected him to go in the supplemental. He has 2/3 potential, and becomes a top five prospect in this system.
The Indians next took Kieran Lovegrove, who is not only a big, very projectable arm, but also seems like a great human being. He helped start a nonprofit whose goal is to make sure that anyone who wants to play baseball or softball gets the chance to play the game. I think that says enough about how much Lovegrove loves the game, and about what an individual he is at a young age. He truly seems to be a plus plus person, who has potentially number two upside.
The Indians didn't stop and in round three they drafted a top player, who happened to fit an organizational need. D'Vone McClure is one of the top athletes the Indians drafted. He does not have top end speed, but he has quick wrists, and the potential for plus power. He is extremely raw, and just recently stopped playing football to focus on baseball. He might be the last guy from the class to make the majors, just because of how raw he is. Yet his potential and his right handed power are great assets for the system. I mentioned in the capsules, but it's been obvious the Indians are really mining the state of Arkansas for talent. It's not one of the huge baseball states, but the last two years there has been a focus on taking players from the state. I wonder if the Indians see it as up and coming. Plus they have spent two high picks on high schoolers from Arkansas in the last two years in Dillon Howard and now McClure.
I, like many, expected a college senior in round five, but instead they took the top junior college player in the draft in Dylan Baker. The big question with Baker is will he develop his changeup. He already has a potential plus breaking pitch to go along with a plus fastball. If he can make his change average, then he can be starter. If not then Baker would automatically become the second best bullpen arm in the system behind Cody Allen in my opinion, with the chance to be the best very soon. He is the classic case of a cold weather pitcher that no one saw. This is because he is from Alaska, which I am sure no one truly scouts. This was pick 173, and the Indians still got a top 100 player. Oh, and he is the fifth player in the draft who is going to be considered for the Indians top ten at the end of the year.
Two more names to mention from the top ten are Josh Schubert and Caleb Hamrick. Everything I have said about McClure can be reiterated with Schubert. The difference is he was not a football star as far as I know. He is also more of a corner outfielder than a centerfielder. He is yet another high upside, right-handed athlete, with potential plus power. It is going to take going over slot to sign him, and I would bet 400K gets it done, which is about 255K over slot. The Indians are currently 750K under slot. I still wonder if 8th rounder Caleb Hamrick is signable, he was considered a hard sign before the draft, and I think he might have been a risk, and if they fail to get him, then they might go over slot on a player chosen after ten. Hambrick is going to cost over slot to sign, this is why if he does not the team will have more money to spend.
I mention these players because I want to make sure Indians fans realize the Indians did go in with a plan. Between the seniors they drafted, and Tyler Naquin they were able to save a little over 900K, and this money will then be used like it was with Brown to sign players who would have otherwise been unsignable. I for one think this is the smartest approach to the new draft. The Indians minors were much weakened by trades and graduations; this draft was focused on adding talent. Not a singular talent, but as many talented players as they could add. I guess it goes this way would you rather sign one player who has MVP potential or get six guys with all star potential, while also knowing that the odds are against any one player actually reaching their potential.
I am just asking people to keep an open mind. Four years ago, no one wanted the Indians to draft Lonnie Chisenhall. Three years ago when Kipnis was being talked of as a first round pick, we all thought the Indians insane, and a few hated him in round two even. Two years ago people were saying the Indians should not sign Pomeranz to just get a compensation pick the next year. Last year Lindor failed to excite many a fan, since he lacked flashy tools. Yet going back everyone of those picks have looked spot on, and I think that for a time the front office has earned a bit of a the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the draft.
One last note, I am learning to like the new draft format for one big reason: it has made it so players sign quickly. As I write this, it seems that the Indians have already signed six of their top ten players. Now Mitchell Brown will get a chance to pitch a bit in the minors. In the old format, he would have never gotten a chance, since he was over slot and basically not allowed to sign until August. Especially for the young high school players, this is going to allow them to get a full season in Mahoning Valley, which means top players will get even more time to develop, which is going to allow them to hit the majors quicker and help the Indians sooner.
Also keep your eyes open for my ln-depth look at the Indians draft, highlighting the players with the best power, hitting, etc..

Good catch Tony, can't believe I put hambrick every time will fix that
I am just happy they are getting something from the draft, from CC to Crowe, the best offensive player they drafted in the first 2 rounds was Zach Sorenson, so when I look back thats why I am more than happy with the drafts.
I'm not sure I understand why the bonus pool savings would go down if Hamrick isn't signed. Those savings were accumulated as a result of signing other draft picks below slot.
I understand that the bonus pool of $4,582,900 would be reduced by $136,000. But, I wouldn't think that would affect the under-budget amount already accumulated.
First off, it is HAMRICK...not Hambrick. There is no "B" in his last name. Also, if the Indians do not sign him they lose $136K in their bonus pool allotted to the 8th round pick. So that $750K extra they have goes down to about $600K.
Lovegrove should pitch for rookie level Arizona....though I believe he will take some time to get ramped up and may not pitch right away.
The drafts have certainly been better the last few years. First off, their 1st round picks from 2008-2010 have all made it to the Majors. That's a start. Also, most teams view drafts as successful if they find two regular players out of it. The draft from 2010 and 2011 had lots of upside and risk, but what made them "good" at the time was the Indians tolerance to take on that risk. 2011 is looking much better from a performance standpoint than 2010, I agree.
If you compare Grant to the last 20 years of drafting then this has been a great period. I think we have to wait and see a bit more. 08 can be judged but lets see about the rest, its a baseball draft they take for ever
If you don't like the picks, then please explain why, everyone has an opinion. I thought they want massive upside on picks 2-4, and btw if Naquin does what he is expected to do then he is going to play for a long time. He was not my choice, but I get it. After him every pick I was huge on, sorry thats just my perspective. This is not like years back when I had a few picks were I went Really?
People love to hate on Naquin, but then again everyone hated on Kipnis and Chiz on those days so let's see
You said "if they fail to get [Hambrick], then they lose the money on players picked after round 10."
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that if the Indians are under budget after signing all of their top 10 picks other than Hambrick, they can't use that savings to spend more than $100,000 on select picks after round 10 if they fail to sign Hambrick?
Just saying, everyone's been ready to annoint the Indians strategy under Brad Grant as a successful change, but all we have to show from the drafts 2008-onward is Kipnis, a struggling-to-stick Chisenhall, and a couple bullpen arms with upside and health questions. And Ubaldo.

I can't help it. Even though Safari has a nicer looking UI, and the most recent Windows update is leaking memory like a sieve, I keep running Firefox as my primary Web browser. Why? Because no other browser has managed to give me anything like the extensibility story that Firefox extensions bring to my daily web working experience. With thousands of extensions out there, your list may vary, but here's my own selection of half a dozen essentials:
Faviconize Tab – If you're like me, you run with a lot of browser tabs open (I try to make time for a cleanup session when I get to 40 or 50 open tabs) and the first eight or ten are always the same. Why waste real estate on titles for those tabs? Faviconize shrinks those tabs down to just the width of the favicon.
Firebug – I feel silly even recommending this one. I don't see how you could do modern web development without it. I turn to the JavaScript and CSS debugging tools here every time I'm working on a web page. Perhaps it's less essential to people who write better JavaScript and CSS code than I do.
FoxClocks – This one makes it much easier to work with distributed teams. FoxClocks understands time zones, and can put as many little clocks as you like in your browser status bar, so you can see at a glance what time it is for team members in Bangkok, Bolivia, and Berlin. A great aid to scheduling and figuring out who's likely to be online.
MenuX – If you're a fan of maximizing your actual web site real estate, take a look at this one; it gives you toolbar buttons for a raft of things. It's sort of like running Firefox in fullscreen mode but with access to your toolbars. You can also just grab individual buttons from it to have on your main toolbar; I use it to give me one-click access to "View Source" because I'm too lazy to memorize keyboard shortcuts.
Nightly Tester Tools – Don't let the name scare you. There's one good reason to grab this even if you don't test alpha and beta versions of Firefox. Too many other extensions are coded to assume a maximum version number even though they don't break on higher versions of Firefox. The Nightly Tester Tools adds a "Make all compatible" button to the Add-Ons dialog box that will tell all of your extensions to ignore version checks. If you've ever lost a much-loved extension due to a Firefox upgrade, this may get it back for you.
View Source Chart – A great little extension for understanding the structure of a complex web page through a nested, collapsible chart using color and graphics. If you use a framework that generates complex HTML (and who doesn't, these days?) this is another indispensable debugging aid.

Ombre is one colour choice that's still going strong. Celebrities love it, bloggers love it, hairstylists love it, magazine editors as well – it's a foolproof way to ensure a trendy look!
Weft hair extensions are applied to the scalp with clips, micro rings, glue or sewing the weft onto a braid. Which ever method you chose follow these intructions to learn how to properly apply your weft hair extensions.
Attach hair wefts with clips
Measure the desired length of the wefts and cut. Note that you should stop the wefts at least ½ inch away from your hair line for coverage.
Sew the clips on to the hair on each side of the weft. If you are dealing with a very long weft you can attach an extra clip at the center.
Attach hair wefts using microrings
Part your hair and place a microring onto the hook.
Attach the weft below the part.
Take a section of the weft and of your own hair and thread them through the microring.
Pinch the microring.
Attach hair weft using glue
Make a section in your hair where you want to attach your weft.
Cut a hair weft section to the desired length.
Apply glue to the weft and to the hair under section.
Attach the weft by pressing it firmly against your scalp.
Sew a hair weft onto a braid
Makes two horizontal sections in your hair, leaving a section of hair loose in between them.
Braid this section and secure the braid using a rubber band.
Thread the curved needle.
Sew the hair weft onto the braid.
Keep your hair and scalp clean! When sweat and dirt build up your hair tangles. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Detangle your hair first from the ends to the roots before shampooing. Wash your hair gentle in a downward motion (from the roots to the ends). When you're done rinse your hair thoroughly.Condition your hair after every wash. Dry your hair gently, don't rub it with a towel but move in a downward motion from roots to ends. Gently detangle your hair.
After you get your hair extensions it is best to wait 48 hours before you wash your hair.
It is better to avoid heat. Heat is your one of your hair's biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.
DON'T sleep on wet hair. A good habit is to tie your hair together in a ponytail to prevent tangling as much as possible.
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.

Over 400000 women each year are drugged and date raped. Prevention is near impossible as drugs are tasteless and invisible in drinks, thus the only current defense is constant vigilance over one's drink or bringing socially awkward drug tests that are impractical, onerous and ineffective. DrinkSavvy can eliminate the risk of date rape in establishments that use our safe and constantly self-monitoring drinking cup, glass or straw/stirrer that immediately changes color if one's drink is "roofied".

Surely there can never have been a more interesting moment in our political history than the present. Plenty, no doubt, there have been more perilous, exciting, or catastrophic, but was there ever one so unlooked for, so full of strange possibilities, so anomalous superficially and, at bottom, so perfectly illustrating at once the genius of our people and the spirit of the Constitution? In what other country would it have been possible for a new party representing what abroad would be called the Extreme Left in politics, a large proportion of whose most prominent men are drawn from the humblest rank of society, to enter on the direction of affairs not only without exciting any violent alarm but with the cordial goodwill of the other parties in the State?
For nothing, indeed, can be more signal than the complete and ignominious failure of the scaremongers to create more than the merest ripple of agitation on the calm surface of our daily life. Or what party so placed would have been able, even if it had desired, to strengthen itself in office by drawing recruits from the ranks of the great officials and the aristocrats? It is all at once very extraordinary and very natural, and it testifies to the essential solidarity and immense mutual goodwill of all ranks and classes in the nation. Perhaps the new party has even profited by its newness. It has no sins and no failures to its account in the work of government because it has never governed, and it has no tradition of long political rivalry to divide it from either of its chief competitors. Everybody is prepared to give it a fair field and to wish it well.
Liberals, against whom, because they were its real competitors, its heaviest artillery has hitherto been directed, will indeed be obliged, if it is to live, to give it a good deal more, but the Tories also, now that they have recovered from their electoral disappointment and have had time to take stock, are showing signs of a growing friendliness which may, in certain circumstances, have rather surprising results. It is a commonplace to say that, over a large part of the political field, Liberalism and Labour are at one in their aims. But is there no part of the field in which Conservatism and Labour may not discover affinities? The lines of division in British politics are today fainter than perhaps ever before. The great vine of democratic feeling moves them all, and the British Constitution answers swiftly and beautifully to the call.
[The first ever Labour government was formed in January 1924 following a hung parliament. It lasted until November of that year.]

Btw, did you know that AA was born in Canada? Yup: it was the brain-child of Dov Chaney, a Montrealer. It was called American Apparel because the t-shirts were imported from the US.

Oklahoma State Football: Breaking Down Cowboys' New Pistol Pete UniformsOctober 20, 2012
With a huge matchup against the No. 24 Iowa State Cyclones this week and the No. 23 TCU Horned Frogs in Week 9, the Oklahoma State Cowboys have revealed their new uniforms featuring lovable mascot Pistol Pete (h/t OKState's official Twitter).
While the Cowboys already had one of the most colorful uniforms in the nation—utilizing white, black and orange—this new addition to the collection is one of the coolest upgrades in the college football season.
Not only will Oklahoma State be wearing their orange tops and bottoms, their helmet will be bright orange with the likeness of Pistol Pete on the side.
You will not miss these uniforms!
"Wow" Factor: 9 out of 10
The first aspect of this uniform that hits is the sheer amount of orange coming at you at one time; it's almost overwhelming. Once the shock wears off, though, there is a controlled madness to the combination.
While the fans will notice the orange pants and jerseys, the normally white or black helmets for the Cowboys today will be orange. Add in the likeness of mascot Pistol Pete on the side of the helmet, and this is a fun twist on the team's classic look.
Fans can't forget that Pistol Pete has been the mascot for the Cowboys since 1923, and paying homage is a great touch.
When it comes to the "Wow" factor, this uniform has it!
Design: 8 out of 10
As much as the all-orange alternative uniform is catchy and flashy, there are slight alterations that would have made this the perfect look.
Using white on either the helmet or the pants would have broken up the pure orange look and made the helmet pop even more. With Pistol Pete obviously the focus of the uniform, the icon on the helmet should have been highlighted a bit more.
While the uniforms are still great, a slight alteration to the size of Pete's head on the helmet would have made this one of the most memorable alternate uniforms in college football history.
Forget blackouts, we need more mascot integration!
Overall Swag Grade: 8.5 out of 10
There is no question that the color scheme pays homage to the school's colors while attracting attention, but it is the inclusion of Pistol Pete's mugshot on the side of the helmets that makes these uniforms elite.
There is undoubtedly too much orange, but the mustached man adorning the team's uniforms is too fun to ignore.
If Oklahoma State added a bit more black and white, this would be the perfect uniform. With all considered, though, it's still an incredible throwback design, and I would buy a Pistol Pete hat or shirt for sure.
Check back for more on the NCAA Football as it comes, and don't miss Bleacher Report's College Football page to get your fill of college football.

Rock returns to the Grammys
Rock music is making its big return! The genre has been overlooked at the Grammys for the past two decades, but, this year, rock is fighting back and dominating the "Album of the Year" category. The Black Keys, Fun, Jack White, and Mumford & Sons, are leading the race for Grammy gold! You wouldn't believe how long it's been since there were this many rock bands in that category!
