I'm still having a hard time accepting that one of our most talented actors, Alec Baldwin, is picking up the Memorial Gene Rayburn skinny mic and hosting a game show.
What's next – Dustin Hoffman hosting Card Sharks? Denzel hosting the Gong Show? I know this, there's a guy in the NFL who Baldwin should have as a contestant on Match Game. Or maybe Mike Strahan could have him on the Pyramid. Or both. Bengals d-lineman Domata Peko.
He was at a publicity event in London and was asked to finish this sentence. Hit the Music. "The Pittsburgh Steelers arrrrre……" Oooh, ooh- a great rival? A classic organization? A model franchise and it's an honor to compete against them every season? No no, take us home Peko. He finished the sentence by saying The Pittsburgh Steelers are… "Pieces of bleep."
Ding Ding Ding! Give Domata a new washer dryer and a color television!
I don't agree with his answer personally, but it's a GREAT answer if you play for Cincy.
You know why – because it's an honest answer. And we don't get a lot of those anymore. Peko gave one, and then he kept going in the Bonus Round. "Oh we hate them. For us, each time we play the Steelers, the whole city is like 'beat these fools.'"
He's on fire! He's buzzing in on every category. Tell us how you feel about the Ravens! Tell us if you even care about the Browns!
Because I'm more excited for Bengals-Steelers this year than I have been for most Super Bowls. Guys getting threatened to be painted on sight. New rules being invented to keep assistant coaches out of fights. Vontaze getting suspended for trying to murder Antonio Brown. Pacman losing a playoff game with a personal foul. Pac giving out his address to meet for a fight! Pac saying What's Happening Patna! Pac saying Antonio deserved a Grammy for his acting! And now the biggest dude on the field straight up calling Pittsburgh pieces of bleep.
It's perfect. Everybody else gets some parting gifts and the home version. Domata Peko wins.
And this year with Steeles-Bengals, we ALL win. Sometimes it feels like the last, true hate-filled NFL rivalry. And it's definitely the best.
Super Bowl 51 is Week 2 on CBS.

Aberdeenshire Council's Liberal Democrat Group has elected a new leader and deputy leader.
Cllr Karen Clark who represents Banchory & Mid Deeside was elected unanimously at last week's AGM, stepping up from deputy leader.
East Garioch Councillor Fergie Hood was unanimously elected deputy leader of the group.
Cllr Clark said: ' I feel privileged to serve in this role and proud to represent an excellent team who will continue work hard in the best interests of their constituents and of Aberdeenshire.
"We want to put people first and not personalities, so my priority as leader is to ensure we keep to our liberal values of fairness and equality in all we do at council level and at grass roots in our communities.
"Liberal Democrats will continue to play a major role in running Aberdeenshire council's administration. We have the ideas and the energy to maintain momentum and build on the excellent achievements of the past few years.
She added, "We are proud of our investment record in schools and social services and of the excellent services we deliver. We will continue to campaign for Aberdeenshire so that we receive a fair and proper share of investment and funding from the SNP government.
Cllr Fergus Hood said, " I look forward to working alongside Karen and supporting her and the rest of the Liberal Democrat team as we work to deliver the commitments made in 2012.
"We know that Aberdeenshire Council faces huge challenges, with some £49m to be removed from our budgets over the next three years."

You Can Renovate Your Stairs
Written by Matthew C. Keegan // 2012/01/24 // Home Improvement // No comments
Live in any home long enough and you'll be undertaking repairs, perhaps a major renovation. One area of the home that is easy to overlook is its stairs, particularly those that lead from the first floor to the second floor.
If your home's stairs are in terrible shape, only an entirely new staircase may help. That project is expensive, one where you'll probably have to call in a team of professionals to handle it.
You can renovate your stairs on your own, a project that may be as simple as bringing out a hammer, some nails and a sheet of sand paper to start. Follow these steps to make your staircase a showcase:
1. Inspect each step. Bring along your hammer and walk up each step, hammering in any nail that isn't flush with the stairs. Replace broken or bent nails with nails of the same size as needed.
2. Fix cracks. You may be able to save the stair's tread by using a filler to fix cracks. Ask the Builder's Tim Carter recommends that homeowners first insert "expanding urethane glue or a heavy-bodied epoxy" in the crack and top it with wood filler. Use stain or epoxy to make the crack disappear. You'll need to sand the tread first and then follow the other steps.
3. Tighten treads and risers. Stairs are made up of three main parts: stringers, which hold the stairs in place; treads that you walk on and risers that are perpendicular to the treads and support each tread. Tom Silva of This Old House magazine, notes that glue and or nails often holds these pieces together. Plan to scrape off the old glue before applying a new coat of glue. If you have access to underneath the stairs, you can tighten the stairs that way too.
4. Baluster and railing — The wood spindles holding up the railing are called balusters. These may need tightening, especially if screws are already ...

Washington (CNN)While this year's Republican National Convention in Cleveland will certainly be memorable, Ohio already has a remarkable presidential pedigree. The state lays claim to eight former U.S. presidents -- seven Republicans and one Whig, a predecessor to the Republican Party. Three served in a row in the 19th century.
If you're in the market for a summer road trip, you should consider this 416-mile route, which will take you through the Buckeye State from the Cincinnati area to the suburbs of Cleveland, the site of this year's RNC.
The general
Location: Ulysses S. Grant Birthplace, Point Pleasant
Hiram Ulysses Grant was born in this small home outside of Cincinnati in 1822 and went on to serve as the country's 18th president and the second president from Ohio. Along the way, he shed his first name, attended West Point and led the Union Army to victory in the Civil War. But the military hero wasn't seeking to trade his uniform for the White House.
"General Grant had no aspirations of becoming President Grant," said Jim Setty, site manager at the Grant Birthplace. "He was so popular that the Republican Party knew that he was sure to win the election."
The major issue that faced Grant during his term was the mending of relations between the North and the South. Instead of extending an olive branch to the South, he erected a Christmas tree. It was President Grant who made Christmas a federal holiday.
The trailblazer
Location: William Howard Taft National Historic Site, Cincinnati
Twenty-five miles divide Grant's birthplace from that of William Howard Taft, who was born in Cincinnati in 1857 and went on to serve as the 27th president and seventh president from Ohio. After serving as a judge, a diplomat and a cabinet secretary, Taft shared something with Grant other than a home state.
"You could say he was a reluctant president. People say that William Howard Taft was a poor politician, but he was a very strong administrator," Chief of Operations at the William Howard Taft National Historic Site Kerry Wood told CNN. Taft's wife, Helen, had enough presidential ambition for the both of them, pressing her husband to run.
Taft was a president of firsts. He was the first and only president to go on to serve as chief justice of the Supreme Court, which he did from 1921-1930. He was the first president to throw out the first pitch on Major League Baseball's opening day. He also established the federal income tax. Most importantly, he was the last president to have facial hair as part of his iconic look.
The dynasty
Location: William Henry Harrison Tomb, North Bend
North Bend, Ohio -- 20 miles from Taft's home in Cincinnati -- was home to two presidents, but only one was born there. The nation's ninth and shortest-serving president, William Henry Harrison, was born in Virginia, but moved to Ohio before beginning his military and political careers. While Virginia has his birthplace, Ohio had his heart, giving both states claim to the president who could serve as a tie-breaker between the states in the contest for most native presidents. Virginia is the only other state to lay claim to eight presidents.
Harrison was the first president to come from Ohio and ran as a member of the Whig party. At that time, there wasn't really a campaign procedure for candidates to follow.
"He was the first president to campaign. He started the whole thing," Beverley Meyers, president of the Harrison-Symmes Memorial Foundation, told CNN.
Harrison died 32 days after taking office in 1841, becoming the first president to die in office. His family, however, remained in Ohio, where his grandson Benjamin was born in 1833. Benjamin became the nation's 23rd president and the fifth president from Ohio in 1889.
Like his grandfather, Benjamin Harrison also made campaign history, becoming one of the first candidates to run a "front-porch" campaign, choosing to run his campaign close to home. It was a technique that many of the other Ohio presidents would utilize, although it should be noted that Harrison's front-porch at the time of his campaign was in neighboring Indiana.
The temperate
Location: Birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes, Delaware
About 150 miles from the Harrisons' home, in a small town north of Columbus, Rutherford B. Hayes was born in 1822. He would go on to serve as the nation's 19th president and the third president from Ohio.
Today, his birthplace is marked by a plaque in front of a BP gas station, although the community is in the process of erecting a statue in his honor near the center of town. The location couldn't be more perfect for a road trip -- no matter how efficient your car is, you're definitely going to need to fill up the tank at this point in your journey.
Hayes went to the White House after one of the most hotly contested elections in American history. Hayes was the first president to earn the electoral votes needed to win the presidency without winning the popular vote, which he lost by more than 250,000 votes.
While Hayes is partly remembered for his temperance policy -- during the Hayes administration, alcohol was removed from the White House -- he was also faced with the challenge of Reconstruction, an issue that Grant hadn't been able to fully resolve during his presidency.
Despite rising to the highest office in the country, Hayes frequently visited Ohio and returned to his roots.
"President Hayes, I think, would very much agree that anyone can become president, even from your smallest places in the United States. They can come from pretty humble backgrounds," said Brent Carson, president of the Delaware County Historical Society. "In the United States, you can really come from the smallest places and reach your highest goals."
The newspaper man
Location: Harding Home, Marion
Twenty miles north of Delaware, in the city of Marion, Warren G. Harding ran his 1920 campaign. He won and became the nation's 29th president -- the eighth and (so far) final president from the Buckeye State.
The 1920 election was the first in which women had the right to vote in every state. He took after his fellow statesmen who had won the White House before him and opted for a front-porch campaign. During the campaign, more than 600,000 people traveled to Marion to hear Harding speak from the front porch of his home.
While Harding's administration is most frequently remembered for the Teapot Dome Scandal, he had a productive and historic term. He was the first sitting senator to serve as president. He was the president who dedicated the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He also started the Veterans' Bureau, a precursor to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
And he never forgot where he came from, frequently discussing his roots in the Midwest.
"For Warren Harding, Ohio was what made him," Sherry Hall, site manager at Harding's home in Marion, told CNN.
The global president
Location: The McKinley Birthplace Museum, Niles
Just outside of Youngstown, 140 miles Northeast of Harding's stomping ground, is the birthplace of President William McKinley. McKinley was the 25th president and sixth president from Ohio. The lawyer, soldier and congressman was born in 1843 and lived in Ohio for his entire life, until serving as president from 1897-1901. Unfortunately, his term was cut short by an assassin.
McKinley won the White House using the go-to front-porch campaign and went on to serve a term remembered for work with tariffs and American business. But he also had to handle the Spanish-American War. It was a challenge that McKinley and every American president before him didn't come into office equipped to tackle.
"He is the last president of the United States to actually not have a foreign policy," Trish Scarmuzzi, curator of the William McKinley Birthplace Memorial, told CNN. "We didn't need to have a foreign policy in those days because we were pretty much isolationist."
McKinley went from leading an isolationist country to annexing the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico during his term -- far more exotic locales than he was used to from his boyhood.
The compromise candidate
Location: James A. Garfield National Historic Site, Mentor
About an hour from McKinley's birthplace, just outside of Cleveland, is the home where James Garfield ran his 1880 campaign. Garfield served as the 20th president and fourth president from Ohio -- following on the heels of Hayes and Grant.
Garfield returned from that year's RNC surprised to be the nominee. The longtime congressman and Civil War veteran went intending to nominate fellow Ohioan John Sherman, but the party couldn't agree on a candidate.
"The convention rather started looking for a 'compromise candidate,' somebody they could settle on who was acceptable to everyone, who could be the standard-bearer," Todd Arrington, site manager at the James A. Garfield National Historic Site, told CNN.
Garfield took advice from another Ohio president on how to campaign, eventually opting for the Ohio method: the front-porch campaign.
"Rutherford B. Hayes told Garfield that if you want to be elected, you should stay home, don't say anything and just look wise," Arrington said.
Unfortunately Garfield shared something in common with McKinley. Just months into his presidency, on July 2, 1881, Garfield was shot in Washington. He fought his injuries until succumbing to infection months later on September 19, 1881.
Garfield's home in Mentor is only 23 miles from the site of this year's RNC, so close that convention attendees will be staying in hotels down the street.

->'''Sheldon:''' What do you wanna be when you grow up, Dante?\\
'''Dante:''' I'm not sure. I like working with people... But I like being alone, too...\\
'''Sheldon:''' How about being a mortician -- best of both worlds.\\
'''Dante:''' Heeeey... Not bad.
-->-- ''[[http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/020212.html Sheldon Comic]]''
Be they morticians, pathologists, funeral house workers or gravediggers -- people who deal with the dead have always been assumed to be interesting, because, well, they deal with the dead. That is why in fiction, it is popular to present workers in those professions as either outright creepy, or at least have a [[BlackComedy way-off sense of humor]]. Especially if they don't look creepy (or aren't normally so), looking at something like this for the first time can creep any guy out. They play around with the bodies of the deceased, joke while performing scientific dissections, or at least die first during a zombie attack. They are also suspect for profiting from someone else's death; after all, such a person may seem a little too happy about the fact that, now that someone has died, the mortician is going to get paid for the funeral.
The trope can just be PlayedForLaughs as well as PlayedForDrama, with often a lot of overlap between the two. The more unsettling version lurks around the graveyard and has an unhealthy obsession with his deceased clients. When they're not in the graveyard, they can be found in rather eerie places, such as near newly deceased bodies or in coffins. Often they are the primary suspect whenever something particularly creepy happens. May turn out to be a LivingDollCollector, a [[ILoveTheDead Necrophille]], or an outright evil {{Necromancer}}. Prone to spout ominous-in-context lines like "Be seeing you..."
If they accidentally encounter a living person instead of an expectedly dead one, it may be related to WakingUpAtTheMorgue or BuriedAlive. Also see BlackComedy.
Compare with the {{Undertaker}} character in {{Western}}s -- some of whom fit here too, the tropes can overlap.
[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* The Undertaker from ''Manga/BlackButler''. Even creepier in the Manga, [[spoiler:where it is revealed, by him, that he is the one responsible for the reanimation of the corpses that were attacking everyone on board the ship. And that was just because he was curious!]] Justified in that he's actually [[spoiler:a {{Shinigami}} rather than a human -- and a rogue amongst their ranks, in the manga]].
* ''Anime/GregoryHorrorShow'' is built around this. Good old Gregory is downright unnerving, especially as you learn more about what he is. He suffers from VillainDecay in the other three seasons, however, becoming a victim of the greater evils around him. Still, [[spoiler:he does feed off of human souls.]]
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ComicBook/GreenLantern villain Black Hand was reinvented as one of these in the lead-up to ''ComicBook/BlackestNight''.
* ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'': Undertakers are recurring characters in this series, usually using ''formol'' as perfume, named [[PunnyName Mortimer or Rigor O'Mortis]], have vultures as pets and already coming to take measurements for the coffins before the cowboys are actually shot down. The most recurring undertaker has a pale skin color, sometimes green and creep out almost anyone they talk to (it doesn't help that to express their gratitude by with custom-fitted coffin). Subverted in a few strips where one is shown to play violin at a party (all for the sake of a LifeOfTheParty pun) or when one, after a burial, asks if anybody wants to use his cabs to go back in town and say.
-->'''Undertaker:''' Driving someone ''to'' the saloon would have been nice for a change.
* The main character of ''ComicBook/RachelRising'' has an Aunt Johnny that has been working as a mortician for a long time. While she's not creepy, she is much more used to being around the dead than the living at this point, so she's a little rough in the social skills department, and [[ImaginaryFriend the ways that her mind distracts her during her work hours]] leaves her just slightly disconnected from reality at the start of the first volume, until Rachel brings her back to Earth.
-->'''Aunt Johnny:''' Spend 20 years with corpses and see how ''you'' end up, smartass.
[[folder:Fan Works]]
* Dirt Nap from ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}'' is a creepy gravedigger-turned villain who made a DealWithTheDevil and ends up [[spoiler:burning down most of Ponyville]].
[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* Tony Todd's character, William Bludworth, in the first two and fifth ''Film/FinalDestination'' movies seemed to know a ''lot'' more about recent goings-on than he let on. Oh, and he also sounded like the Antichrist.
* This character is a staple of bad movies, if the morticians of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' are any indication.
** The mortician from ''Agent for HARM'', for example (played by Robert Donner, better known as Exidor from ''Series/MorkAndMindy''):
--->'''Morgue Attendant:''' ''[grinning]'' Mr. Chance? Dr. Stefanik? May I present Mr. Henry Manson? ''[solemnly]'' I'll prepare the autopsy room.\\
'''Mike Nelson:''' My apologies for my odd performance.
** There's also Smolken, the gravedigger in ''Film/TheUndead'' who'll sing death or plague-related songs on a dime.
* Very subtly played in ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'', which you could easily think to be an inversion. Ernie the mortician is strongly implied to be an ex-Nazi: when we first meet him, he's listening to a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII German march on his headphones, and when startled, he produces a Luger. Later on, we see a poster of Eva Braun in his office.
* The ''Film/{{Phantasm}}'' films have the Tall Man, adding a touch of HumanoidAbomination for effect.
* The mortician Dobbs in ''Film/DeadAndBuried'' is a bit ''too'' interested in making the bodies presentable. [[spoiler:He's also turned everyone in town, [[DeadAllAlong including himself]], into a zombie.]]
%%* There's a creepy undertaker in Creator/PeterDavid's SpaceWestern ''Oblivion''.
%%* ''Film/VanHelsing'' has a rather creepy undertaker in the village.
* The title character in ''Film/CemeteryMan'', despite being a handsome Rupert Everett, is still pretty crazy and spooky.
* In the 1993 anthology film ''Film/BodyBags'' John Carpenter portrays the Coroner, a wacky character who has a twisted fascination with the corpses he gets every night and hosts the framing segments. Among other things he holds conversations with the dead people around him and even [[ILoveTheDead plays around with some of them]]. [[spoiler:Subverted at the end when he turns out to be another corpse come to life when the real coroners appear.]]
* Played with in ''Film/RachelRachel''. Rachel's mortician father isn't all that creepy really--but Rachel is, taking an unhealthy interest in her father's job. She goes so far as to get a flower and climb into a coffin that has been put out for the dead child her father is working on at that moment.
%% The "Back to the Future Part III" example fall into the stock Western character {{Undertaker}} rather than this trope.
* In Neil Gaiman's ''Literature/AmericanGods'', Ibis and Jacquel's Funeral Parlor is run by two Egyptian gods, one of whom (Anubis) consumes a part of every organ of the deceased. This actually lines up with Anubis' mythological portrayal, and it's implied that him taking part of the heart in particular is actually a sign of great respect.
* Averted (bordering on discussing this trope) in one of Creator/DeanKoontz's novels, where it is specifically stated that the morgue crew the protagonists meet are totally unlike the stereotypical image of their profession in fiction.
* According to the ''Literature/{{Discworld}} Companion'', the Guild of Gravediggers, Embalmers and Allied Trades, like all Ankh-Morpork guilds, cultivates a certain image in its members, which in this case includes training in morbid humour and ventriloquism.
%%* Pylum in ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear: City of the Dead''.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
%%* A couple of examples in ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' sketches.
%%* Moody dark moor Scotsman Fraser on ''Series/DadsArmy''
%%* Technically, the Cryptkeeper from ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt''.
* The mincing, AmbiguouslyGay Dennis Rainbird from ''Series/MidsomerMurders''. He even drives a Porsche with a [[VanityLicensePlate RIP]] license plate, and one of the first things he says about a murder victim is how she prepaid for the most expensive funeral service, with a tone implying that he's very much looking forward to it. He and his mother are the town gossips and way too involved in everyone else's affairs, which makes them suspicious from the start [[spoiler:but they turn out to be a RedHerring and are killed by the actual murderer]].
* Averted in ''Series/TheMunsters''. Herman works in a funeral parlor and Lily apparently has her hair done by a mortician.
* The ''Series/{{CSI}}'' series and its spinoffs, as most criminal shows, features forensic pathologists as side characters. A few one-shot funeral home workers also get this treatment to some degree. They're particularly fond of [[OneLiner one-liners]] whenever they find anything interesting about the person's corpse or death during the autopsy. Especially ''Series/{{CSI NY}}'', where Sid's sense of humor got a FanNickname -- "Sid's creepy place":
-->'''Sid:''' ''[after finding a ringing phone inside a victim of the week]'' My very first dead ringer.
* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' has a woman pathologist as one of the main characters -- a lady capable of "quoting poetry while cutting a man's body open". While Murdoch loves Julia, he's never quite got used to "morgue humour", as lampshaded in a season 10 episode where the new morgue assistant thinks her own attempt has offended him, and Julia tells her not to worry about it.
* ''Series/SixFeetUnder'', a series about a family-run funeral home, subverts this trope. The characters have their issues, but they always attempt to treat the deceased with respect and provide some consolation to the families.
* ''Series/KolchakTheNightStalker'' has morgue attendant Gordon "Gordy the Ghoul" Spangler, an exceedingly chipper fellow who runs a lottery at the morgue for crime reporters.
* Sam leaps into a mortician in an episode of ''Series/QuantumLeap'', who was already regarded as rather distasteful by the people in town, and then he starts trying to solve the murder of his most recent corpse, asking questions and pawing through her things. Since he is the protagonist it doesn't really play that way, but when a guy whose job involves his arms being elbow-deep in the recently deceased starts demanding answers to questions about your sex life....
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' gives us Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard. His habits include going into unnecessary detail in describing what he is doing around the team, [[TruthInTelevision talking to those he is performing an autopsy on]], and his criminal psychology degree means that he talks about the mess in a killer's mind with almost as much detail as he describes the mess in the body of their victims. Also, Gibbs will occasionally [[ScareEmStraight bring an uncooperative suspect down]] so Ducky can explain to them ''exactly'' what will happen to their bodies if they don't start cooperating.
* ''Series/DueSouth'' had [[MeaningfulName Mort]], who would sing opera while doing his autopsies.
* ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'' had Mr. Hammerick (played by Creator/JohnWaters), who liked to arrange the deceased in what he called the "Living Tableau". That is, he would arrange them for viewing, not in a coffin, but posed doing their favorite thing. (This isn't always popular with the families, who often wish for a more traditional burial, which he finds to be cliched and boring.)
[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
* The Vodoun/voodoo deity Baron Samedi a.k.a. Saturday takes this appearance. In some lore he lurks in graveyards looking for people to turn into zombies.
[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* While Wrestling/TheUndertaker more fit the Western trope early in his career (and still has a few hints of it), his former manager Wrestling/PaulBearer fit this to a T, with pale skin, modern black suits, and a really creepy high-pitched voice. Even better, William Moody, who portrayed Bearer, really had worked as a mortician before becoming a pro wrestling manager. Moody maintained his mortician certifications all the while he was a wrestling manager, and returned to the funeral trade after his time as a wrestling manager ended. He told of several times someone at a funeral would recognize him, and want to take a picture of him with the recently-deceased. He always declined.
* The '40s and '50s radio (and later TV) sitcom ''Series/TheLifeOfRiley'' had a comedic version of this in Riley's pal Digby "Digger" O'Dell, "The Friendly Undertaker", who specialized in hilariously morbid {{pun}}s referencing his line of work, such as his usual greeting ("Hello, Riley. You're looking very... ''natural'' today") and signoff ("Well, goodbye, Riley. I'd better be... shoveling off").
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Radio/TheGoonShow'' with Gravely Headstone, as in the following (quoted from memory):
-->'''Seagoon:''' You can't bury me, I'm still alive! It's impossible!\\
'''Headstone:''' Not impossible, but one should have to box ''exceeding'' clever.\\
'''Seagoon:''' No, wait, you can't bury me yet -- I want to join the Guards.\\
'''Headstone:''' No man under six foot can join the Guards. Come along.\\
'''Seagoon:''' No, no! Keep away! Aaagh!
* ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' fits into this trope with the gravedigger, digging a grave while joking about who is to be buried there.
* ''Theatre/{{Oliver}}'', both the stage and film versions, has a whole family like this. They even get a song, "That's Your Funeral". In the film this is downplayed, the song is removed and Mr. Sowerberry is rather partial to his drink.
[[folder:Theme Parks]]
* The Caretaker from [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal's]] ''Theatre/HalloweenHorrorNights'' is a soft-spoken mortician and surgeon that dug up bodies from numerous graves to use for company, furniture, or even as a dinner ingredient. He's not any more kind to living, either; as he kidnaps innocents to use as guinea pigs for "living, breathing autopsies".
[[folder:Video Games]]
* The gravedigger in ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryIV'' is a creepy hunchback who is nonetheless friendly and helpful despite his... unusual sense of humor. His name is [[TheIgor Igor]], too.
%%* The player character from the old arcade ''Nightmare in the Dark'', a ''VideoGame/SnowBros''-like platform game.
* Dampe from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' is often seen lurking around the graveyard when you are young Link, it gets kind of unsettling what with the [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Poes]] that also lurk around there. Bizarrely enough, a cute little kid idolizes Dampe and spends daytime wandering around the graves trying to mimic the gravedigger. He pays you a lot of rupees for a spooky mask that helps offset his cuteness.
%%* ''VideoGame/{{Carmageddon}}'' has a pair of undertaker twins as one of the opponents.
* The creepy gravedigger in ''VideoGame/GodOfWar''. [[spoiler:Actually Zeus in disguise.]]
* Mr. Russett from ''VideoGame/TheLostCrown'' is a subversion: he ''looks'' fairly creepy, but is actually one of the most helpful people Nigel meets.
%%* The Coffin Man from ''VideoGame/{{Baroque}}'' is a humorous/lighthearted version of this trope.
[[folder:Web Animation]]
* ''WebAnimation/TheBackwaterGospel'' features an undertaker who simply sits and waits...
[[folder:Web Original]]
* Dag Darkomen, played by Creator/BrianPosehn, from the second campaign (starting at episode 74) of ''Podcast/NerdPoker''.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons:
** The first WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}} cartoon, "Dumb Hounded", has the wolf character jump off a building while a mortician suddenly appears next to him during the fall, takes his coffin measurements and then disappears again.
** It looks like the same mortician in Avery's "Li'l 'Tinker" as a skunk tries to attract girls by impersonating Music/FrankSinatra, he walks up behind him while singing and takes measurements (one of many morbid "Frankie is skinny" gags).
* In its first Halloween episode, ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' featured morticians eating while preparing Kenny's body, and accidentally spilling sauce into the embalming fluid. And this of course leads to a ZombieApocalypse.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Homer and Bart visit a funeral parlor run by a creepy Creator/VincentPrice type. When Bart gets locked in a coffin and starts screaming in terror he chuckles, "Ohh, the living!"
* In ''WesternAnimation/GravedaleHigh'', the bus driver Boneyard resembles this trope. He dresses similarly to a mortician and the bus he drives looks like a hearse.

(Contemporary Literary Criticism)
Tennant, Emma 1937–
Tennant is a British novelist, critic, and editor. She has been involved in magazine publishing for a number of years, working on the editorial staff of such publications as Queen, Vogue, and Bananas (the literary magazine of the British Arts Council). (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 65-68.)
Perhaps [The Time of the Crack] isn't quite the short, sharp, entertaining novel we are all waiting for …, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. Short it certainly is, and rather amateurishly written …, but in a way this adds to its charm. Characterization is about on the level of The Young Visitors. Yet its merits far outweigh the minor faults.
A huge crack opens up in the bed of the Thames, separating London into two halves, leaving only the Playboy Club standing on the northern side; Lewis Carroll technique applied to H. G. Wells material….
As a comic apocalypse this novel could hardly be bettered. It is very much a London book—a knowledge of the town and its geography helps a lot—but it does manage to say a few pertinent things about the society in which we live. As a first novel, too, it has a simplicity and enthusiasm that is often missing from the output of more professional writers of fiction. (p. 661)

Hi again, It seems that making debian/rules a symbolic link to /usr/bin/dh might actually work for some packages (although I have not yet tried), so it could be the perfect timing to double-think whether it is not as heretic as it looks, as long as it would follow the Policy requirements about the expected result of "debian/rules clean build binary" (and binary-arch and binary-indep if the ongoing discussion does not end up in their deprecation).

LU defense is good mix of young, veteran players
Published 10:21 am, Monday, August 25, 2014
Lamar's first line of defense has two very important sets of cleats to fill for the 2014 season.
Gone from the Cardinals are Jesse Dickson and Mark Murrill, who combined to earn eight letters while they were at Lamar. Dickson earned Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year and First-team All-SLC honors as a senior and Murrill finished his career with 21.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks.
Now, Cardinals defensive line coach Carey Bailey is faced with the task of finding the right mixture of veterans and youngsters to contribute in Lamar's 3-4 defense.
"We're progressing well so far," Bailey said of how the defensive line has looked through the first half of camp. "It's always hard to replace two guys who were as wise and crafty as Jesse and Mark. We have a lot of guys who have played over the past couple of years. I'm not sure if we will be as productive as those two guys were. But with some of what we're doing, I think we have a chance to be."
The most notable name coming back on the line is senior Joe Okafor, who is projected to start at defensive end. In 2013, Okafor finished with 22 tackles, three tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
With Murrill and Dickson, gone, Okafor is now the, "old man," of the unit. He's seemingly taken all of the younger defensive lineman under his wing.
"Everytime somebody gets in trouble, they look at me," Okafor joked. "If they have any questions about any plays, they and ask me. In doing drills, when I lead the line they look at me."
In 2013, Lamar was tied for third in the SLC in sacks with 27. The defensive also intercepted 16 passes, good for second-best in the conference.
The defense as a whole was solid (third in the SLC in yards allowed per game) and they were particularly stingy through the air, giving up less than 200 yards passing per game.
But the rush defense struggled, giving up over 200 yards per game. That will have to improve, especially because a number of players from the Lamar secondary were lost to graduation.
One of the pleasant surprises from the defensive line last season was Omar Tebo. The sophomore from Liberty played in 11 games, starting four of them and racked up 37 tackles and six tackles for loss.
In the span of a year, Tebo went from not knowing how much he would contribute as a freshman, if at all, to being a leader along the defensive line.
"Coming in and playing as a freshman is every kid's dream," Tebo said. "I had to jump in and learn. I did pretty good from what I've been told. This year, it's about coming in and doing the best that I can. Trying to help my team do what we've got to do and win games. I wouldn't say I'm a veteran but I know how the game goes. I've gotten quicker, stronger and faster."
Although Bailey is always detail-oriented, even he admitted that he could let Dickson and Murrill be, "coaches on the field," the last few seasons. Now, he has to rely on different players to help with the younger ones when they make mistakes. Some of the details that last year's seniors knew, Bailey has to coach and make sure everybody understands.
"You never forsake fundamentals," Bailey said. "It's a matter of saying things over and over again as if they've never heard of it before. It's about repetition."
Joshua Frost, a junior college transfer from California, is just one of the other defensive linemen expected to make a contribution.
"We think about it," Frost said of replacing Dickson and Murrill. "What they did before us, we always want to try and do better. To us, it's competition."

Dave Chappelle's Block Party (NR)
Directed by Michel Gondry
Rogue Pictures
I'm sure most of the mainstream public was looking forward to a filmed anthology of different skits featuring Dave Chappelle's cadre of characters from his much-missed Comedy Central show. You get none of that here. Instead, director Michel Gondry (The Science of Sleep) documents Chappelle's unwavering attempt to stage a massive block party in New York City. Beginning with his gathering of locals in his Ohio hometown and securing the area and the incredible line-up of musicians (Kanye West, The Roots and The Fugees), this film proves that Chappelle doesn't need characters to be funny. His observations of the culture and people that surround him are funny enough. Louis Fowler
Lifespan (NR)
Directed by Alexander Whitelaw
Mondo Macabro
At it's core, Lifespan wants to be a successful cult sci-fi film. But it's so bizarre and so temporally displaced in its settings that it's far too atmospheric to be a typical sci-fi popcorn flick. And yet, it's not quite an art film either. Lifespan is much like a peek into an alchemist's workshop: Klaus Kinski is a mysterious industrialist that hires a young American scientist to develop the "elixir of life," a formula that will bring immortality to humans. And while that would make for an intriguing plotline itself, Lifespan instead veers off into a hundred different directions none of them expected. Is the film successful? Not completely, but it's such a conflicted oddity that its fevered dream state will entertain all the while begging more questions. Louis Fowler
How's Your News? (NR)
Directed by Arthur Bradford
Shout! Factory
Executive produced by "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, How's Your News? is one of the best DVD investments I've made in a long time. This documentary follows a group of newscasters, all of whom have mental and physical disabilities, as they travel across America and interview bewildered passersby in the man-on-the-street format. Much like Sacha Baron Cohen's character, the laughs mainly come from the true-to-life, don't-know-any-better reactions of the interviewees. The cast of reporters is fully aware it's part of the joke in a way that is genuine and inoffensive, and, thankfully, never fraudulently "inspirational." This is an honest, revealingly hilarious slice of life. Louis Fowler

WORRIED councillors say they are "deeply concerned" at the impact closing Hartlepool Youth Court will have.
Hartlepool councillors had already agreed to write to the Government to air their concerns but other members have now raised their concerns despite attempts to "prevent the migration" of services.
Hartlepool Youth Court, based at Hartlepool Magistrates' Court in Victoria Road, will cease functioning in April with the service transferred 15-miles to Teesside Magistrates' Court in Middlesbrough.
Hartlepool Borough Council's audit and governance committee had previously raised concerns and now the finance and policy committee has also objected.
The concerns were raised during a discussion about the Safer Hartlepool Partnership's Community Safety Plan for the period 2014-2017.
Figures show the number of young people new to the youth justice system had dropped from more than 200 in 2008-09 to 64 in 2012-13.
Labour councillor Chris Simmons said: "I welcome the reduction in youth crime, however, I am very disturbed we are going to cease having a youth court in Hartlepool. We should be making sure young people attend court in their own locality."
Council leader, Coun Christopher Akers-Belcher, said: "We did petition and try to prevent the migration of services to Teesside. We got a curt response back saying that the decision had been made."
It means all under 18s who are charged with crimes in Hartlepool will have to make their way through to Middlesbrough along with a parent or carer who must accompany youths at court hearings.
Adjournments and delays to hearings will also mean several trips to Middlesbrough will potentially be needed, all adding to the cost and inconvenience of the extra travel for those involved, witnesses and police officers.
Meanwhile, Labour councillor Rob Cook said Hartlepool seemed to be being "signalled out" for change, while Labour's Carl Richardson told the committee: "This could be the beginning of the end of the court system in Hartlepool."
A spokeswoman for HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has previously said: "From April work from the youth court at Hartlepool will move to Teesside Magistrates' Court due to a reduction in youth court business. The new listing arrangements will be kept under review."

When is a baby considered a toddler?
So this may be a silly question but I was just wondering when a baby is really considered a toddler? On here it shows toddlers in the age group of 1-2. My son is going to be 14 months on Jan 7. Is that considered a toddler? I ask because I see things at the store, like food or toothbrushes for example, that is specifically for toddlers. Is he a toddler? Or is it more around age 2-3?
I always think of toddler as 1-3 years old. But that doesn't mean you can't stay here in the babies group of course!
Amber- Group Owner of:

My daughter will be 1 day after tomorrow and I consider her a toddler. I think 1-3 are the toddler years.
"toddler" refers to a baby who is walking (think a 1 yr old toddles around) and at least one year old. At three they are considered a "preschooler" (even tho preschool doesn't start until 4, go figure).
Lovin' on my babies
I heard (or read) somewhere that they are considered toddlers when they start to "toddle" around. Once they are walking they are toddlers. Not sure if that's true, but when I looked at the foods they are marked for "supported sitters", "crawlers", "toddlers" and "preschoolers". I think some things go by age and others by milestones.
In my child. psychology class a a Baby is 0-1 and a Toddler is 1yr (18months) to 4 yrs of age
The few month diff. of a year to 18 months is a transition stage between a Baby and a Toddler.
However, some also consider the Toddler years to end at the age of three. . also... which the 3 to 4 years of age is also a transition stage from Toddler to young child.... it tends to depend on the childs growth and developement at these transition stages (some transition faster than others)
hope this helps
I guess it depends. 12 and under is considered an infant so after is a toddler. Or it's when your baby starts walking.

Women should not feel guilty if they are UNABLE to breastfeed, but they should feel guilty if they are UNWILLING to do so, and they should be intellectually honest enough to know the difference. - Elizabeth Gene
I think between the ages of 1-1 1/2 it really depends on the child. As far as food goes I would observe the developmental eating stage and readiness of mine before I routinely offered toddler meals. My son started walking at 14 months and had some eating delays and was not able to eat the toddler foods (mixed texture gerber graduate meals) until later. He was about 16 months when he was more ready. On the other hand I have seen babies of 9 months that handle this type of food well.
I just joined cafe mom yesterday and I was surprised to see that this group was suggested when my youngest is 21 months. I guess I consider 18 months to about 3 to be a toddler. I joined anyway, it seemed like a good group.

Illustrations of Sequential search:
The two illustrations of calling such function is as shown below:
>> values = [85 70 100 95 80 91];
>> key = 95;
>> seqsearch(values, key)
ans =
>> seqsearch(values, 77)
This illustration supposes that the key is found only in one element in the vector. Also, however it works; it is not a very efficient algorithm. When the vector is large, and the key is found in the starting, this still loops through the rest of the vector. The improved version would loop until the key is found or the whole vector has been searched. In another words, a while loop is used instead of a for loop; there are two sections to the condition.

Ian Holloway made 10 changes to his side that took on Aston Villa on Wednesday, and it is thought that this 'could' see him in trouble with the Premier League as a result.
Last season Wolves manager Mick McCarthy made wholesale changes for a match and this resulted in a fine for the club - Holloway is said to have issued a quit threat if the club are punished similarly.
The Blackpool manager has reacted angrily saying that he has to do what is best for the club and the team selected was one that he felt was the best so the Premier League have no right to accuse him otherwise.
All this, and more, in this video that is well worth watching...

On Fire
Be you.
You don't have another choice.
Copying someone else gets the same results as lighting a firecracker that is a "dud:" a very short-lived blaze of glory followed by a fizzling fall to the ground.
Developing and using your talents toward the causes you care about results in slow growth and, ultimately…
You become the best expression of who you are.
Be who God created you to be and you will set the world on fire.
— Catherine of Siena

In the Spirit
- Artist: Michael Combs
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 3/27/2007
|your cart is empty
It's funny where life takes you. When Michael was in his early 20's he was offered a spot as a pianist for the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. As a self-taught pianist who had just learned piano a few years earlier, this was a tremendous honor and opportunity. To this day he doesn't remember why he turned it down. A born musician, he learned to play the accordion as a child then at 15 taught himself to play piano. A few years later he learned violin, guitar, keyboards and more. But somehow, with life's twists and turns he ended up pursuing business interests that led him away from music. Soon the demands of his leadership role in his mountain community outside Denver, Colorado came to haunt him in the form of a chronic and life threatening heart condition. This CD was born from both a deep love for the Christmas season and from disappointment with the half-hearted music available. Interestingly, In the Spirit was his second Christmas CD, the first was a private release for his clients in 1995. It was the Christmas CD's that launched him into a more serious pursuit of his music as it drew rave reviews and appeals for more music from his fans. Less than a year later, he released his first original CD: In Search of Peace. Most of the songs on this CD are new arrangements of old favorites, but this CD also includes one original song by Michael entitled 'One Holiday Morning'. It's a song about the anticipation and joy of giving to those you love, not just through gifts, but also through the little things done without acknowledgement. ***** Since this CD was released Michael suffered from more heart-related problems and in a few days time had two distinct near-death experiences. His recovery was uncertain. As a result, it looked as though his life would be very limited, but Michael wouldn't accept that fate. He fought to overcome and ended up defying all odds. Nine months after that experience, while still in recovery, he woke up one morning and said "I know how to paint" - a gift, in the purest sense since he had no previous talent in this area. His inspiration for paintings begins in his dreams. When he awakens he has crisp, vibrant images to paint, as well as the knowledge of how to create them. The result is a wide range of paintings from childlike to visionary, and landscape to abstract. Since that day, he's created more than 100 paintings. Additionally, he's putting the finishing touches on his first novel, has more in the works, and also working on the compositions for his next music CD. In fact, since his experience he frequently gets headaches because of all the new music in his thoughts that play over and over, just waiting to be expressed. As with the art, the music is diverse from symphonies and operas to techno and new age. It's an incredible story...one that continues to evolve.

CNN PRODUCER NOTE U.S. student alexiaml is facing a weekend inside her Singapore home with her husband as haze from Indonesia forest fires continued to hang over the island. The country is suffering from record levels of pollution, and she says the smell is so strong she rarely goes out -- her images show the haze over her neighborhood and a nearby shipyard. "People have been wearing masks -- I went to the grocery store today but they were all sold out," she said. Making matters worse is the fact the island has seen little rain. "I'm already getting cabin fever but we'll stay inside for the weekend, we've got lots of frozen food," she said. Read the latest from CNN here.

Join me today as I deliver my segment of the Internal Sales Curriculum for Top Sales World's Top Sales Academy.
I will be focusing on how to best sell in changing times and markets by leveraging GAP Selling. While the curriculum is billed for internal sales, this GAP Selling presentation is applicable to all B2B sellers, inside or field sales. The presentation will present a sales framework that will allow you to succeed in changing markets.
Changing times and markets means you have to change how you sell and who you sell to. This session will show you what you need to think about before you start your sales, and what you have to do to succeed in new or any buying environment. You will be introduced to GAP Selling, a five plank platform for selling success based on an actionable definition of value for the buyer. The planks are:
- Time utilization
- Identifying and validating buyer's objectives
- Why Buyers buy and don't buy from you and your company
- Converting the above to Impact Questions for quality conversations
- A structured follow-through approach to maximize impact and progress Participants will learn how to use the above to create alignment with the buyer, their objectives and buying process
Participants are introduced to the model and key steps they need to take to implement model, they will be able to go back to their organizations and evaluate they current model, and prepare to introduce elements they may be missing.
You can hear an interview I did with Top Sales World in advance of the event:

Sirota's Alchymy...
On first appearance it looks like a hugely developed McDojo. However they have a competition team for TKD, so if they're succesful for that, then I guess they provide good sport specific training. They also have a big program for deaf and blind people, not sure how I feel about instilling false confidence. While they talk about a journey to black belt, there wasn't a black belt program, which is a big McDojo flag.
Anything I'm missing that's a huge indicator of McDojoism?

The All England Lawn Tennis Club in London will be hosting the top tennis players in the world at the 2017 Wimbledon Tennis Tournament for the 131st edition of the championships. Coming into the 2017 Wimbledon there is a fight between this year's Australian Open winner, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, who is ranked No. 2, for the win. Roger Federer has returned strongly this year from his knee injury and is expected to hold up against Murray and Djokovic on his best surface at Wimbledon's grass court. This is a scenario Wimbledon fans have seen before between Djokovic, Murray and Federer, Djokovic will be defending his 2016 Wimbledon title. For the women's side, the final match-up will not see Serena Williams, the defending champion return to the grass court due to her pregnancy announcement. All eyes are on Maria Sharapova on whether she will make it to the 2017 Wimbledon with the wildcard pick of ranking points after a 15-month ban. This year will be exciting as the Wimbledon trophy is up for grabs.
Wimbledon is the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world. It is played every summer in London, England, in the borough of Wimbledon. The venue is the All England Tennis Club. The club's patron is Queen Elizabeth II, and it has only 375 full members. The club has 19 grass courts, which it famous for world-wide. Wimbledon is the only major tournament to be played on grass. The largest court is Centre Court, with the next two being Court No. 1 and Court No. 2.
Any bag exceeding 16 x 12 x 12, large flags or banners, and hard-sided items are not allowed. You may bring in alcohol, but the amount is limited to the equivalent of one bottle of wine or two 500ml cans of beer per person. You may also take food into the grounds. Look for outdoor bar areas or seating areas to consume your beverages and food. Check out our Wimbledon Event Guide page for more information.
London is filled to the brim with wonderful hotels, and there are some nice choices near the venue. Check out 10 Aarden Hotel if you're looking for a deal on a budget. The Cannizaro House is quite nice and only a mile away, while there is also the Holiday Inn Express-Wimbledon South.
The 2018 Wimbledon schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the tournament. TicketCity has the complete schedule listed above for this year's tournament, down to the times for both the day and night sessions. The times are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances with the weather in London. All times listed are local to London, and the gates will open at approximately one hour before the first match for each session.
There are 64 entrants in both the men's and women's singles draws, while there are 32 doubles teams in each of the men's and women's draws.
The All England Lawn Tennis Club in London will be hosting the top tennis players in the world at the 2016 Wimbledon Tennis Tournament for the 130th edition of the championships. Coming into the 2016 Wimbledon there is a fight between this year's French Open winner, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray, who is ranked No. 2, for the win. Even though Roger Federer missed the French Open to recover from an injury, he will be returning to his best surface at Wimbledon's grass court to take another run at the competition. This is a scenario Wimbledon fans have seen before between Djokovic, Murray and Federer, but it is predicted that Djokovic will defend his title and come that much closer to a calendar-year Slam. For the women's side, the final match-up is expected to be against No. 1 Serena Williams and 2016 French Open winner, Garbine Muguruza. Williams will be competing to defend her Ladies single championship at the 2015 Wimbledon, but after a defeat by Muguruza in the French Open, the Wimbledon trophy is up for grabs.
The 2015 Wimbledon Tennis tournament will feature one of the most exciting fields in the last 15 years. Stan Wawrinka enters Wimbledon coming off a thrilling run to the 2015 French Open crown, leading many to question if the Big 4's dominance in Men's Tennis is in jeopardy. Despite his finals defeat in Paris, defending Wimbledon Champion Novak Djokovic enters 2015 Wimbledon as the favorite, as the Serb is playing some of the best tennis of his career. Outside of Wawrinka, the biggest threats to Djokovic defending his championship will be Roger Federer and a revamped Andy Murray. On the women's side of Wimbledon 2015 the story will be what it has been for over a decade, can anyone stop Serena? Serena Williams enters Wimbledon once again as the dominant force in women's tennis and will look to bring her 6th Wimbledon title home in 2015.
The 2014 Wimbledon tennis tournament is taking place from June 23 to July 6 at the All England Club in London, England. All of the best tennis players in the world will be in the field of this prestigious tournament, and you can be sure you'll see some of the most exciting tennis possible on this fast surface. It's the only major tournament played on grass, and the excitement around every match is palpable.
2011 WIMBLEDON TENNIS PREVIEW: The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club will be celebrating the 125th edition of Wimbledon in 2011, and as usual, all the great players will be in London to celebrate the occasion.
On the men's side, the draw will have all the big names—including the newly minted French Open champ Rafael Nadal and his on-court foe, Rodger Federer. Novak Djokovic will try to rebound after losing his first match in forty-two to Federer in Paris during the French semis. Englishman Andy Murray rounds out the top four, and will surely have the crowd behind him, especially if the chalk advances and he sees Nadal in the Semifinals. The top American men are Andy Roddick, at 8, and Mardy Fish, the 10th-seed.
The top female draw was Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki, who is currently first in the WTA rankings. While she has 17 titles under her belt, Wozniacki will be looking for her first Grand Slam title in England. The second-seeded Kim Clijisters was forced to pull out of the tournament thanks to a balky ankle, leaving Maria Sharapova as the odd-on favorite to challenge Wozniacki for the despite the presence of the Williams Sisters or Li Na, the Chinese winner of the French Open.
In the first round, however, the most scrutinized match may be between two unranked men's players: American John Isner and France's Nicolas Mahut. It was last year at Wimbledon where the two played the longest match in tennis history, a three-and-a-half day match that ended with Isner finally rallying to win 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3), 70-68. It's this kind of intensity that Wimbledon is known for that makes heading to the All England Club worth it.
Tennis is a game of tradition and cachet, and the Wimbledon Championships is the sport's oldest, and perhaps most prestigious tournament. One of the four Grand Slam events, Wimbledon has been held on the grassy lawns of the All England Club in a London suburb since 1877.
Each year since the tournament's origin, tennis fans have crowded the stands to drink Pimm's spritzers and cheer on the best players that the sport has to offer. On Monday, June 21, the 2010 tournament will begin, and culminate with the Men's Singles Final on Sunday, July 4.
While qualifying and seeding continues until just before the tournament begins, fans can expect tennis' celebrities to be amongst the 128 competitors in the men's and women's singles matches.
Currently, the world's top men's seed is the Swiss luminary Roger Federer, who will be defending his Wimbledon title this year and shooting to extend his record to 17 Grand Slam titles. However, second-seeded Rafael Nadal, who withdrew from last year's tournament due to an injury, will seek to scoop up his second Wimbledon title.
On the women's side, the top two seeds have a lot in common. Collectively, they have won 5 of the last seven Wimbledon Championships - and they're sisters. Serena Williams comes in as the defending champion, but a sibling rivalry could be enough for Venus to conquer the title holder.
The 2008 Wimbledon men's finals has been described by some tennis experts as one of the greatest major finals in tennis history. Long-time rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal battled for five grueling sets late into the London night. When Nadal finally claimed the final set (9-7) the famous Centre Court at Wimbledon was cloaked in darkness. The lack of light did not stop the fans from applauding these two great championsp; or Nadal from celebrating his epic victory with family and friends.
How can Wimbledon 2009 surpass the excitement of last year's tournament? You will just have to be there live at Wimbledon to experience it for yourself. The main contenders in the men's category are Roger Federrer, Andy Roddick, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and many more. The main contenders in the Women's category are Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic, Dinara Safina and others. With last year's champ Rafael Nadal out due to injury, who will challenge Federer? Will the Williams sisters return to the ladies final, with Serena getting the best of Venus this time?
Among the women, the William sisters, Jelena Jankovic and Elena Dementieva are the front runners to win this prestigious Grand Slam. Among the men, the odds are being placed on Roger Federer, who is highly motivated after his most recent French Open victory. Impossible to know the outcome at this point, but what is known is that Wimbledon is one of the most exciting sporting events on the calendar each year.
Thanks for keeping us on our toes! We will get you an answer as soon as we can!

Wall Street Journal Reporter & Golf Columnist John Paul Newport was in attendance at Cypress Point Club earlier this week for the celebration of "The Match" which featured Davis Love III, Nick Watney, Bubba Watson, and Rickie Fowler. Just being at Cypress Point is a very special experience and it was the first time in his life that he had the chance to walk the course. The weather was absolutely perfect and only about 200 people were on the course to follow this match with no gallery ropes.
The idea of having two amateurs participate earlier this week was not considered in part because times have changed so much. Ken Venturi and Harvie Ward were amateurs in 1956 but they could still compete with the best players in the world on a regular basis in part because they were career amateurs. The best amateur golfers today are collegiate players and even the best collegiate players are not comparable to Venturi and Ward. The original idea for this celebration was to pair the elder statemen Love III and Couples together against the younger duo of Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler.
It was unfortunate that Davis Love III and Fred Couples were unable to team together as Couples had to withdraw due to a health issue because they would be ideal for any celebration of this special match. A very special moment occurred when Nick Watney made an eagle on the 10th hole because Ben Hogan had eagled the hole during the original "Match."

Norwich bag Becchio in swap deal with Leeds
Norwich City have agreed to sign Argentine striker Luciano Becchio from Leeds United in a swap deal that involves Steve Morison moving in the opposite direction, the English Premier League club said on Thursday.
Becchio will put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half year contract with Norwich after a five-year stint at second tier Leeds during which he scored 86 goals in 221 games.
"I cannot wait to play my first game," the 29-year-old told the club website.
"I am really happy about having the chance to play in the Premier League. It is brilliant for me personally and for my career."
Norwich said the deal was subject to the relevant paperwork being approved by the footballing authorities.
Becchio, who has scored 19 goals in 31 appearances this season for Leeds, could make his debut in Saturday's league game at bottom club Queens Park Rangers.
Wales forward Morison, 29, has scored 12 goals in 59 games for Norwich since joining from Millwall in 2011.

feet from the ground and just above
the railroad tracks, ready for a gate
to be opened to be let into the waiting
All the way down these long slant
ing chutes the lumps of coal tumbled
and slid and felt; -the clatter and
shuffle of the endless rushing black
stone over the sheet iron lining of
the long trough drowned even the
sound of the whirling machinery and
the crunching of the mighty iron
teeth that ground the large blocks
into little bits while, above all, an
overhanging cloud of dust from the
sliding coal covered the black build
ing and the black young children
with an everlasting pall.
Over the top of the slanting chutes
was nailed a row of little planks like
wide steps on a mighty ladder. John
ny was told to sit on one of these lit
tle planks and put a foot on each
side of the chute and then, as the
lumps of coal ran swiftly down be
tween his legs, to snatch out the
pieces of slate as fast as his hands
and arms could move, and throw
them into another pitching trough at
his side. From the top of the great
breaker, down almost to the bottom,
sat this stairway of little boys, each
grabbing at a chunk of slate as the
coal rushed madly by until it passed
the last boy and tumbled clean and
free from slate into the iron pockets
above the tracks!
It took Johnny but a little time to
become a breaker boy. He had only
to learn the difference between slate
and coal and he had known this from
a child. True, it took some skill to
snatch the stone from the madly
rushing black flood covered with its
dense black cloud of dust; but httle
eyes are sharp, and little fingers are
nimble, and it was really remarkable
to see how this long line of little
hands would unerringly grasp the
slate and let the coal pass by. The
rich man who owned the breaker,
whose name was Fox, used some
times to stand and watch these little
hands, lost in admiration of their
dexterity and skill; their rapid move
ments and machine-like precision
seemed to him the beauty and rhyme
of a poem of perfect meter.
Mr. Fox had a daughter whom he
dearly loved. He fancied that she
had musical talent, and he found
her the most skillful teacher that
money could procure. Sometimes he
stood by the piano and watched the
girl take lessons in finger develop
ment, and he marveled at her dexter
ity and skill; but when he paused for
a few moments beside the great, long
chutes and saw the black diamonds
rushing down into his great iron
pockets, and watched the little, deft
hands of the breaker boys, he could
not help thinking that the piano was
not the only place to develop finger
movement. Still, that was about all
he thought. Mr. Fox was not a bad
man. He was really good. He loved
his daughter and he intended to send
her to Paris and Vienna to complete
her studies when she was old, enough,
and, really, every lump of coal that
rolled down the chutes proved how
fondly he loved the girl.
In a few weeks Johnny was a full
fledged breaker boy. His mother
woke him at six in the morning. He
put on his dldest clothes, ate his
breakfast and went to the breaker.
Morning after morning he climbed
the long flight of stairs to the top of
the breaker. Morning after morning
he went down the ladder until he
found his little flat seat, nailed across
the chute. Then he sat down on the
rough board, placed one foot on each
side of the trough and waited for the
flood of coal to come rattling down.
In front of him and behind him and
at the side of him were other little
boys, covered with the same black
pall that ever hung vabbve his head.
No one spoke, or looked up in the
gloom; they simply picked, picked,
picked, while the black flood moved
down. The constant stooping made
his back lame and sore. And often.
