As we get older our body gets less efficient at taking care of itself. We need to put in some extra work to keep ourselves healthy and fit. Some of the most common problems after middle age are diabetes, cholesterol levels, weight gain, blood pressure etc. In order to keep yourself healthy, you need some changes.
Dieting doesn't necessarily mean to resist everything you love to eat. It simply means to portion meals and pick healthy foods. If food causes you to have health problems then food can also get you on the right path. Through food, you can regulate your cholesterol levels easily. This simple life-change can alter your cholesterol levels, blood pressure, body fat, and better your health in general.
If you don't have time to cook for yourself but you wish to watch your weight and cholesterol levels here is a solution for you. You can easily find a lower cholesterol meal plan in no time.
Meal delivery services nowadays offer fresh and healthy meals with impeccable taste. Try them out sometimes and rest assured that you'll be treating yourself to a healthy and delicious meal.
Our Recommendations
Sun Basket has a dish for anyone and everyone. Their gluten-free, diabetes-friendly, paleo favorite are the Korean beef skewers with sesame-cabbage slaw. Read more in this sun basket review here.
Bistro MD offers diabetes-friendly dishes which are nutritious and healthy. Their especially renowned dish is the Thai green curry chicken. Check out bistro md reviews and see what else is on their eating program.
First of all, you need to alter the list if foods which a part of your regular diet. You need to incorporate more items which contribute to lowering your cholesterol levels. Items which contain a lot of fats make your arteries more prone to clogging. They also increase the risk of heart diseases and high blood pressure.
This is the fun part. You get to introduce new items to your diet and try new things. You'll be able to rouse your taste buds while keeping your health top notch.
Get Informed
You cannot change your diet by your own accord. There is a wide variety of foods which affect your body differently. Not every food will lower your cholesterol in the same manner. Keep in mind that you need to stay informed and discuss your options with professionals. Try seeking expert opinions from physicians and nutritionists beforehand.
New Foods in Your Diet
Here are some of the items you can easily incorporate into your everyday meal plan. These will help you with your overall health but will specifically be beneficial for people who have high cholesterol levels.
Oats and Grains
Oatmeal is a well-known breakfast option which many people resort to. If you are not already doing so try incorporating this meal into your day. Oatmeal is full of fiber and will be the best substitute for any previous breakfast ideas you might have had. Oatmeal is nutritious and helps to keep you full.
Other grains like barley, oat bran and such, can help you lower the cholesterol level in your body. They also contribute to a healthy diet which reduces the risk of getting heart diseases and digestive problems.
These little ones should be called magic beans because of their contribution to our health. Nobody's really aware of how full of fiber beans are. They keep you energized and full while helping your digestive system. They are good for high cholesterol because they are nutritious and non-fattening.
They are a great solution for shedding some extra pounds. They offer a wide variety of tastes and can be a real treat for your palate. Take your pick from lentils to black-eyed peas, kidney beans and so on. They truly are a versatile food which you can prepare in many ways.
This food is man's best friend. It gives you endless options on its own and makes up a variety of other products. Soy is highly nutritious and is dubbed the most efficient enemy of cholesterol. You can easily incorporate it into your everyday meal plans. You can substitute your regular milk with soy milk, meat for tofu, and chips for soybeans.
Fish is a great substitute for regular meat. It has lower fat levels and is great for your heart and blood. It is full of omega 3 fats which are highly effective in reducing triglycerides in your bloodstream. They keep your body healthy and happy
Vegetables should maybe be the main part of your diet since they benefit your body so much. One vegetable, in particular, has proven itself to be an amazing contribution to lowering cholesterol levels. This vegetable is the eggplant. It is a low-calorie food with a lot of fiber. It has a hearty delicious taste which can be used in a lot of recipes. Try experimenting with eggplants and come up with your own new favorite dish.
While we are on the subject we mustn't forget vegetable oil. Any oils with a vegetable base are far better than any fat. They make everything taste better and they are much healthier than regular fat or grease. Consider switching to sunflower or canola instead of your standard oil. Still, the best one is olive oil but it also costs more.
Fruit like vegetables are great for your overall health. Yet with fruit, you need to be more careful because some of it has a high level of fructose. Fructose is a natural sugar. Regardless of it being naturally found in fruit, you can damage your diet if you do not consume it moderately.
Some of the fruit you can eat without fret are apples, strawberries, grapes, and, of course, all citruses.
Nuts are a great option for any meal – meat, salad, dessert – they can simply be thrown into any dish and they'll just make it better. Between almonds, walnuts, pecans, peanuts, Brazilian nuts, hazelnuts you won't know which one to pick.
Nuts are great for dieting and for blood pressure. They are also great for your heart. Just a handful of any nuts can keep you energized for hours – that's how nutritious they are!
Be Mindful
The biggest enemies of your health are of course fats. Once you get these in line you are good to go. Here is some useful information about fats.
Saturated Fats
Namely, you have to be careful about saturated fats. They might be disguised as a healthy option though they might raise your cholesterol levels. Typically, saturated fats can be found in red meat, dairy products, eggs, cocoa butter etc. They increase your cholesterol levels and affect your blood levels. Some of them can help reduce triglycerides. To make a distinction and keep yourself in the loop consult your physician or nutrition.
Trans Fats
Trans fats are the worst thing you can consume. They have no contribution to your health and can only keep you sick and unhappy. They are a product of horrid chemical reactions. This is something your body will never need or benefit from. To omit trans fats from your diet will be the best thing you could do. Make sure it is your priority.
Though this must sound like a drag, try reading every label carefully. Many times it happens that you carelessly select items and put them in your cart whenever you go shopping. This is something you need to change.
Though it seems tiresome and unnecessary this will completely change your perspective on food. Even items which are marked gluten-free can be full of sugars and other unhealthy ingredients. Read labels on granola bars and you'll get the real picture. Do not miss reading any ingredients when you go grocery shopping.
Don't think twice about investing in healthy life changes. When it comes to your well-being you need to always come first. Don't think of the amount you are going to spend on healthy food, think of how much money you'll be saving on medical bills. Not to mention, you will be increasing the quality of your life. New diet plans cannot compare to other life changes because you will feel better in a matter of days.
Eat things which make you happy, make meals with friends, attend cooking classes, or invent new recipes to keep yourself motivated. If you don't have the time to do it yourself look for a meal delivery service with fresh produce and healthy recipes.
Increase your fruit, vegetable, and nut intake and you'll be as good as new. Your cholesterol levels will immediately drop and you'll feel like a new person.

As the Dell's Women Entrepreneur Network (DWEN) meets in Toronto to discuss issues and opportunities that women entrepreneurs face, the tech leader announces new funding for business education of women in Congo focused on investing strategies to support new entrepreneurship opportunities. The trainings are part of the AFECCOR project, partly funded by the European Partnership for Responsible Minerals (EPRM).
Dell is teaming with the Canadian-based non-profit IMPACT to provide women in the Democratic Republic of Congo with business education focused on investing their savings into new entrepreneurship opportunities in their communities.
The partnership will provide over 300 women artisanal gold miners in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo's Ituri Province with business skills training through IMPACT's Artisanal Mining Women's Empowerment Credit and Savings project (AFECCOR). The AFECCOR project supports women and men in artisanal gold mining communities in establishing Village Savings and Loans Associations. Participants are empowered to invest their savings into new entrepreneurial activities. Hereby, AFECCOR specifically targets women's social and economic empowerment in their homes, at artisanal mine sites, and in the wider community. With Dell's funding, IMPACT can expand the support it provides to women participating in the project.
"Our research shows that access to secure savings and credit is a major barrier for women to have an equal opportunity as economic actors in the artisanal mining sector. With the support of AFECCOR, women have been putting aside a small amount of money into their savings for the past months—and as that amount increases, so does their confidence in planning for the future," said Joanne Lebert, IMPACT's Executive Director.
"Women are now excited about what they can do with their growing savings. Thanks to Dell's support, we can provide women participating in the project with the skills they need to succeed in their new entrepreneurial activities and supplement their income," Lebert added.
Dell has a long-standing commitment to support women's empowerment, connecting women entrepreneurs with access to capital, networks and technology to grow their business. The company is also committed to empowering vulnerable communities impacted by the technology supply chain. By operating this project in a remote rural area with high rates of poverty, illiteracy, and poor infrastructure (health, electricity, and financial services), Dell hopes that women will have more opportunity to be part of the formal economy and contribute to peaceful economic development within their communities and the region.
"We constantly look for ways to apply our resources and capabilities to address the greatest needs of communities. The partnership with IMPACT will equip women with entrepreneurial skills and business training to help them support their families and fulfill their potential in a particularly vulnerable part of the world," said Christine Fraser, Chief Responsibility Officer, Dell.

Waking Up to You is the newest Harlequin Blaze release from Leslie Kelly. The official print release date is April 23, 2013 and the digital release date is set for May 1, 2013. The May releases from Blaze include a free reader's favorite from the author, and Overexposed is your freebie with Waking Up to You. From the back cover.~
Waking Up to You: A new sizzling Forbidden Fantasy story
Hollywood costume designer Candace Reid would do anything for her gay best friend—even marry him! But before giving up on sex for a while, she needs that last fling. Only, when her injured grandfather asks for her help with his struggling Napa vineyard, her plan for Nooky Time is completely kiboshed….
Then she meets the mouthwateringly hot new groundskeeper, Oliver McKean, and it's a case of instant lust. And damned if Oliver doesn't seem as hungry as she is….
Before long, Candace is gettin' naughty with the hired help. But her secret is bound to come out eventually. And when it does, she'll have to choose between a promise to her dearest friend…and the man whose body she can't live without.
I'm a huge Leslie Kelly fan and was super excited to see she had a new Blaze coming out. I was lucky enough to get a review copy from NetGalley thanks to the publisher.
Waking Up to You is one of my favorite Leslie Kelly books ever. That's saying a lot since I own every single book she has ever written and have even had to replace a few copies because I'd re-read them so many times.
Candace has agreed to marry her gay best friend, and he even offers to pay for her to go to Paris to hook up to her hearts content, since she will have to go without sex while they are married. The fact that he will give her half his earnings at the end of the marriage is a pretty good deal for her. Of course, once she finds out her grandfather is injured all those plans go right out the window and she heads to Napa to help him out.
Enter Oliver McKean, her grandfather's groundskeeper. He is oh-so-sexy and Candace can't get him off her mind. She is instantly attracted to him and the attraction is reciprocated. Candace and Oliver have amazing chemistry throughout the entire book. As with any Leslie Kelly, there are plenty of super sexy scenes and I have to say the "just one kiss" scene was one of the sexiest. However, my most favorite scene in the book is when Candace finds a spider in the kitchen and Oliver must get rid of it. As I have a huge fear of spiders, I totally got her "Green Goblin" description of the spider. Seriously most spiders could totally live in the Forbidden Forest from Harry Potter in my mind.
Oliver and Candace as a couple totally worked for me and I loved how understanding Oliver was when he discovered Candace's plans to marry her gay best friend, Tommy.
Leslie Kelly gives her reads a funny, sexy, fast-paced story and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book in this series. We met Candace's twin sister Madison towards the end of this book and I can't wait to read her story.
You can currently purchase both the print and the digital copy directly from Harlequin. If you want to purchase digital copy directly from Amazon, B&N or other online ebook retailers, they will be available for purchase on May 1, 2013.

How 'real' can we really be in business?
Over the last few years I have been on my own pursuit of 'realness' and I have experienced both negative and positive responses to my constant drive to be utterly and completely myself, which has caused me to consider; how 'real' can we really be in a business scenario?
Keeping it real
First let us consider what is 'real'. For me, it is not to be like a bull in a china shop with little care for the insult or damage you may cause. It is to be honest, open, be in the moment and respond creatively to those around you. To truly connect with the people you meet and learn more than their name, in fact I often forget their name because I am too busy getting to know the person!
The world is swarming with people, so many that we will never ever meet them all and what a tragedy that actually could be (in most circumstances). Of course, this is also why the continued spread of blogs and the ability to share our thoughts across the world wide web is exciting. Maybe now we have the ability, more than ever, to connect with more people.We learn so much from those we connect with and no matter how small that influence may be, I am excited about the prospect of meeting more people and learning from them both in my life and in business.
The negative response
Sadly, I recently met with judgement and negative assumption. I am a very extrovert person, I will always see the best in a scenario, strive to entertain and lift the spirits of those around me. So when I recently had a dance and a little pose on a podium at a VIP party I was branded as 'drunk', 'completely rat arsed'. I totally wasn't. That is just me! So to those who assume the worst I say go ahead. I am just embracing life and I will always try to make the best out of a situation. If I am being misunderstood then at least I am being noticed!
The positive response
On the flip side by striving for 'realness' I have had some great connections with people I never would have met otherwise and it's been genuinely enlightening. Cutting through the crap and really talking to someone rather than just politely shaking their hand is liberating. Thank you to those of you who have embraced the opportunity to keep it real in business.

The famous city of Marrakech, the second oldest Imperial city, has for centuries been an important stop for traders and travellers. Continuing this tradition, Marrakech has become a renowned international destination, with its colourful souks, markets and restaurants. Founded nearly a thousand years ago by the Almoravides dynasty, one of the great cities of the Maghreb, Marrakech is set against the spectacular snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains. Buildings are blushed in hues of rosy earth, and horse drawn carriages clip along the broad avenues lined with palm, lime and orange trees. Visit the Menera Gardens, the famous Jardins de Majorelle, the Bahia Palace, the Saadien tombs, the Jewish cemetery, and the most revered of Islamic monuments, the Koutoubia Mosque.
A must see is the Djemaa El Fna Square; the centre square of the medina which comes alive at night with storytellers, musicians, entertainers, snake charmers and the scent of delicious food being grilled over hot coals. Wind your way through the spice scented souks and handicraft quarters; a riot of colour, noise and motion. Watch the gold, silver, copper, wood, silk and leather artisans at work, or take a moment to absorb an aerial view of the bustling square with a quiet cup of tea on the terrace of an adjacent cafe
Here are some sights & attractions included in this tour:
-Koutoubia Minaret
-Saadian Tombs
-Bahia Palace

How To Access Email
Do you want an email forwarder or an email account?
Email Forwarders
Do you already have an email address like firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com? If you set up a professional email address e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com you can have emails that are sent to firstname.lastname@example.com simply redirected (forwarded) to email@example.com or email@example.com
You only check your old email account and your forwarded emails appear there.
- Easy and quick to set up
- All your email goes to your existing email account
- By default your replies will come from your main email address e.g. email@example.com
- You must already have an account
Email Accounts
- An account is like a box that stores emails. It holds them ready for you to read.
- If you don't have an email address at all you need at least one email account to store email
- Replies from your email account will be branded e.g. firstname.lastname@example.com
- Accounts are separate from each other. If you have firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com then Jim and Nancy can have their own separate email accounts.
If you want many email addresses e.g. admin@ info@ sarah@ firstname.lastname@example.com then you can have one email account and then forward all the other addresses to it.
To set up your email forwarders or accounts you need to login to your Gozone Account. - Click here to login.
How to access an email account after you have set it up
As part of your Elastic package you get 3 ways of accessing your email:
- Webmail
Webmail is an online email client that allows you to check email from any internet enabled computer, similar to Gmail or Hotmail.
To access your webmail go to http://yourdomain.com.au/webmail
Of course in the place of "yourdomain.com.au" you put plumber.com or andersons.net.au
Login with the username and password you were sent.
You will be presented with 3 choices of email client. We recommend using Roundcube.
Advantages of webmail:
- No software or configuration as we have already set it up
- Access from any internet enabled computer
Disadvantages of webmail:
- With your Elastic package you get 1GB of storage standard. If you have many photos, videos etc. stored once you reach 1GB you won't receive any more emails until you delete some old ones
- Some corporate computer systems block webmail so you can't access it from work
Incoming mail servers: mail.yourdomain.com (replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain e.g. plumber.net)
Outgoing mail server: r7-sydney.webserversystems.com
Port: 465
Connection Security: SSL/TSL
Authentication Method: Normal Password
Username: Full email address
In simple terms POP3 means that either using Gmail, Outlook, Outlook Express, Firebird or another email program you download your email messages from the Elastic server to another server or to your local computer. The emails then removed from your Elastic server. IMAP means that you email is not moved but it is synced with another email system. IMAP does not remove emails from the Elastic server.
Each email system is different so you will have to Google the steps to set up POP3/IMAP.
If you are running Outlook 2003, 2007 or 2010 here is the official Microsoft page.
Bug Alert: It is a known bug with earlier versions of Outlook that if you are trying to access more than one email account, the second account may fail. We recommend using a fantastic free email client called Thunderbird. Thunderbird is made by the same group that creates the Firefox web browser.
To get Thunderbird go to: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
Generally, if you only have one computer and will only send and receive email from this computer then use POP3. If you want to sometimes use webmail, sometimes your home computer and sometimes use your smart phone for email then set up IMAP.
The main settings you need to set up POP3 or IMAP are as follows:
Incoming mail server: mail.yourdomain.com (of course in the place of yourdomain.com put plumber.com or andersons.net.au)
Outgoing mail server: mail.yourdomain.com (your outgoing server generally does not need the authentication box ticked)
Username: Your full email address
Password: Your email password
Advantages of POP3:
- Email is moved from the Elastic server so you can keep as many emails as your computer hard drive can store
Advantages of IMAP:
- Email is synced so that the email on your smart phone, webmail and home computer are the same. Delete from one and you delete from all
Disadvantages of POP3:
- Once you download your messages they can only be viewed by your home computer
- If you home computer crashes or is destroyed or stolen your emails are lost as well
Disadvantages of IMAP:
- With your Elastic package you get 1GB of storage standard. If you have many photos, videos etc. stored once you reach 1GB you won't receive any more emails until you delete some old ones

Blue Agave Oyster and Chile Bar
Restaurant @ The Palms Casino Resort
I visited Las Vegas last weekend, January 14 - 17 2016 and stayed at the Palace Station. I have to say the staff was outstanding. The room was small but I didn't intend to be there except to sleep. The rooms were spotless every time we came back in the evening. Great Service and the room staff (?) was a hoot to talk to. All great people. Now for the restaurant in the hotel. The Hostess was so good to us and took the time to make us feel welcome and always had this charming smile and she was sincerely happy to make us happy. I want her for my sister~! There was a new waitress those days but she was poised and treated us very well. She was fun to talk to even when I couldn't make up my mind what to have for breakfast. She always had hot coffee for us :) The lady training the new waitress was charming and took the time to make sure we were well cared for. We decided to eat there as often as we could because it was just a great place to eat and the staff became more like family. Good job you guys. If I get back to Vegas I will stay at the Palace Station just because of the staff at the restaurant.. Sincerely Ed C.

Wugong Mountain Adventure
Wugong Mountain located in Jiangxi Province, is one of China's three great mountains to the south of the Yangtze River, together with Mt. Lushan in Jiangxi and Mt. Hengshan in Hunan. Wugong Mountain is most famous for its stretching and undulating meadow. The blue sky and endless meadow add radiance and beauty to each other, attracting innumerable outdoor fans to hike and camp here. Colorful tents dot the green grassland, constituting unique scenery. Plenty of rivers, brooks and waterfalls lay on Wugong Mountain. Cloud and mist often linger on the mountain, making it a wonderful place to enjoy the sight of the cloud sea. Throughout history, many poets and literati came here and left much beautiful poetry to eulogize the scenery of Wugong Mountain.

Walking Dead: Night of the Walking Dead
From Season 1 (Ep 1-6)-cut to approximately 62 minutes in this version:
-Cold opening of Rick in the hospital, delirious. The preceding shootout where he is injured is seen briefly in flashback. Conversation with Shane cut.
-At Rick's home, he has a brief vision of a photo of his wife and son. Wandering aimlessly in neighborhood cut.
-Another major change here is the elimination of Morgan and his son completely. These scenes helped Rick understand the world around him as he recovered, but I felt that it worked just as well if Rick simply geared up on his own and left to find his family, alone. It gave a greater sense of isolation and despair. It also makes him look more confident and reflective as a leader.
-The mercy killing of the park crawler and the junior officer are cut.
-The pilot's Zombie girl sequence is moved forward to this point, making this the first zombie we see him kill.
-All scenes with the campsite survivors are cut, so essentially no one answer Rick's radio and there are no cutaways from him, making Rick the only human we see for the first 15 minutes of the film (except the flashback)
- After meeting Glen in Atlanta, Rick gets the idea to use smell as camouflage immediately after the fight with Merle. Glen's sewer crawling is cut. Rick's converstation with Andrea is cut. Merle's conversation with T-Dog is cut. Again, all scenes of Lori, Shane and the other survivors are cut.
-The monologue before Rick hacks up the corpse for guts is cut. Also the line "We need more guts" for comic relief is cut.
-Glen's impersonation of zombie to avoid suspicion is cut t make the scene more serious.
-During the escape, Glen's escape scene in the Challenger is cut for timing and tone
-The first scene of the camp survivors in the film is of Rick and company arriving there.
-The campfire scene that night where Rick tells his story is shortened. Shane admonishing Carol's husband Ed at the campfire is cut.
-Rick and his wife in the tent—the scene ends after he tells her how he found them. The photo album and Shane stalking the camp is cut.
-Daryl's introduction is left mostly intact, except now there is no reference to him wanting to go back. All references of going back into the city for Merle is cut. The group does Not do this in this version, leaving Merle's fate a mystery. The rooftop scene with Merle trying to escape was also cut as it detracted from the main story. All scenes of the group in the city looking for Merle and their encounter with the gang is cut.
-The frog catching scene with Shane is kept in, as it shows Shane's relationship with Carl and Lori, also implying their affair. Shane's beatdown of Ed and the domestic violence during laundry is cut. The scenes of Bill digging holes and being restrained is cut.
-During the fish fry, T-Dog's brief monologue from the earlier campfire scene is cut in (to show that Rick and co. Are still at camp), and Dale's lengthy (and weird) monologue is shortened significantly.
-The zombie attack on the camp is recut to be faster paced, intercutting between Shane's group and Rick's group, further implying they were always there. A brief shot of a man getting his face chomped by a walker is inserted (this scene is from Ep 9 of Season 2, is of Randall's colleague who is shot down by Hershel being attacked by walkers).
-All the funeral scenes are cut. Glen's outburst at Daryl is cut. Andrea's killing of zombified Amy is shortened.
-The entire subplot of Bill revealed to have been bitten, the ensuing arguments, succumbing to the fever and eventually being left behind are all cut.These were interesting but did not move the story forward.
-Shane and Rick's conversation in the woods is left intact, foreshadowing Shane's later attack on Rick.
-The campside discussion to leave for the CDC is shortened. All other discussions about where to go, what to do between other characters are cut.
-The group's journey to the CDC is rescored using the Walking Dead theme instead of the Sunshine theme in the original. Also, there is an added Voiceover of Rick on the Radio explaining their move and that the dead own the city.
-The entire CDC segment is cut. These scenes, though somewhat popular, did not do anything for the story I feel. Also, the super high tech facility felt out of place considering the ragtag mood and tone of the film so far. Too much exposition means I had to cut it, so we'll never know why the zombies came to be, which is more interesting anyway. Also, what Dr Jenner whispered to Rick is revealed by the Governor in Season 3, and it isn't a revelation that will end the world.
From Season 2: cut to approx. 115 minutes in this version
-Instead of running into the roadblock after the CDC in the series, in this version the group runs into the block en route to the center. Some dialogue is cut but the herd passing scene is kept intact. The scene of Andrea and Darryl killing walkers are intercut with each other for pacing and tension.
-After Rick kills the two zombies who chase Sophia, all the group work on the highway is cut to focus on Darryl tracking her with Rick. Gutting the walker to examine its stomach is shortened. Carl getting the knife set is cut. Shane's subplot of wating to leave the group, by himself and later with Andrea, is all cut.
-The entire group sans Dale and T-Dog go looking for Sophia, and it is implied this is the same day. All Dale and T-Dog conversations on the highway is cut.
-The tent with the dead body is cut. The church scene is intact but ends after Rick cries out for Sophia after killing the zombies.
-The team is seen divided into two groups. Carl's shooting is left intact while Daryl and Lori's scenes are cut.
-After Hershel stablilizes Carl, Maggie's retrieval of Lori and bringing her to the farm is cut into a montage. The horseback rescue itself is intact.
-Shane and Otis breaking into the school is presented completely in linear fashion, without flashbacks like in the original. Shane falling down and telling Otis to leave him is cut. During this timeframe, all of Carl's scenes, ie the seizure etc, are cut. All the highway scenes are also cut.
-The "Hanging zombie" scene intact, but lines about Andrea's suicidal intention cut
-Shane's lie about what happened to Otis is cut. A later scene of Carl waking up to have a heart to heart with his exhausted dad is brought forward to this point. Scene ends after Rick gives him his hat.
-Daryl's Cherokee Rose scene with Carol is brought forward to this point, establishing a relationship between the two. The group arrives at the farm after this. Carl waking up is cut. Hershel taking the guns away is cut. The conversations focus on how to find Sophia.
(AT THIS POINT, I changed the timeline of the original series, drawing scenes from different episodes in Episodes 4-10 to put together the following chronology of what happens to the group)
-Glen and Maggie go to the Pharmacy and kiss as in the series, but Glen's motivation for getting the pregnancy kit is unknown as all Lori's scenes with him asking him to get it are cut. (This will be revealed later when Lori asks Glen "if he got it" and he hands it to her)
-Shane and Rick supposedly go to look for Sophia (clarified by conversation between them lifted from another scene) at the nearby center from episode "18 miles out". In the original they go there to abandon Randall. Here, Shane confronts Rick about his unwillingness to accept Sophia might be dead and that he is unable to protect Lori, prompting the fistfight.
-Daryl finding the doll is intact and getting pierced by the arrow before falling is kept mostly intact with cuts for pacing.
-The fistfight between Shane and Rick attracts a walker horde who they fight off and escape. Rick emphasizes He is the leader, and that Lori and Carl are His family as Shane watches the field zombie, which may be a representation of himself (All Randall's scenes are cut and the drama on the farm is cut)
-Glen and Maggie are seen still at the pharmacy (in the original, this was a different episode), where Maggie is attacked by a zombie and Glen saves her, solidifying their relationship.
-Glen hands Lori the pregnancy apparatus, which is discovered by Rick. The two have a discussion. All the yelling and talk of abortion is cut. Lori revealing she was with Shane is also cut.
-Daryl wakes up to a brief vision of Merle (who is more encouraging in this version) and fights off the Walkers as in the original. The second vision of Merle is cut as it was more of the same.
-Beth's attempted suicide is briefly shown, and emphasized in Andrea's and Lori's conversation, which is now placed after the actual attempt. I kept this conversation in as it was a good reflection of what the survivors felt was a priority in life (Andrea: killing walkers, Lori: going back to the way things were)
-The well walker scene is retained, minus the sequence of lowering Glen into it, for time reasons. The whole scene is roughly 2 minutes.
-Glen finding the barn is followed immediately by the group discussing what to do about it, implying Glen told everyone immediately. Shane calling Daryl a meth-head is cut.
-Glen and Maggie's reconciliation is kept intact with minor dialogue changes. (The only subplots kept intact from the series are their relationship, the Rick/Shane/Lori triangle, and Daryl's evolution as a person)
-Hershel and Rick's conversation is shortened significantly and followed by his request to capture the stray walkers. The barn shooting scene is kept intact.
-Daryl's tirade against Carol is brought forward to this point. All the barn walker disposal scenes are cut.
(Up to this point, the following are the other Major cuts: (1) The entire Randall arc—ie. The shootout at the bar, the capture of Randall, His interrogation, attempted execution and murder are cut. This is because I felt if I included the whole theme of "What do we do with evil humans?" which is what this arc was exploring, then the film would be too long and too full of info. I wanted the film to be mainly about zombies. Human evil is adequately reflected in Shane's character and his fall from grace, and I edited it as such. Furthermore, the exact same theme is represented by the Governor and Woodbury in Season 3. Dale's scenes are cut down, as much as I like him, they did not move the story; T-Dog's cut for the same reason; Andrea and Shane's relationship is cut, as well as their brief encounter with walkers. Dale and Hershel's meet at the barn is cut, shooting practice is cut, Carl's encounter with a zombie in the swamp is cut (although the attack on Dale is kept and reedited into the final battle). Lori going out to look for Rick and crashing the car is cut. I had a hard time cutting the "hanging zombie" but I did, for times sake. Lori Lady Macbething Rick to kill Shane is also cut. Most of the redundant farm conversation from various characters is cut. ---all these cuts were made to allow the film to flow as smooth as possible without looking choppy, random or haphazard)
-Shane confronting Lori about the baby is pushed back until after the barn shooting.
-Shane killing Randall is cut but him breaking his own nose is kept in. He proceeds to inform the group he was attacked in the woods, setting of Rick and co. Into the forest
-Daryl and Glen killing zombified Randall is cut. Shane killed by Rick is followed by the horde attack immediately without cutting away as in the original
-The final farm battle is kept almost entirely intact, with the addition of: Dale's death intercut in, with Daryl despatching him after; and the "Car zombie" (originally attacking Lori on a deserted road), is incorporated into the farm attack as well.
-Removed scenes of survivors individually speculating who made it and cuts to the reunion on the highway. Rick telling Lori he killed Shane is cut. Also, Rick revealing Jenner's secret is cut.
-The final campfire sequence is kept intact, with minor monologue trims
- Anadel's "In the Water" (from Telltale Game's Walking Dead)used to score end credits
-Michonne's appearance is shown as a post-credits sequence

Walking Dead if any series needs fanedits as the show is a wreck with its moments nowadays. Now season 1 was solid but season 2 was quite bad. This fanedit makes the two seasons into a 3 hours' action packed movie that lacks a proper ending.
First I must mention the same as many others did before, there are a lot of continuation issues with characters disappearing without any explanations. Also some of the dialogue doesn't make any sense, especially towards the ending with the Shane stunt. That being said the edit is still a lot of fun as it takes a lot of jarring moments and annoying dialogue away. I watched it in 2 separate parts and I have to say that I wasn't bored at any moment, so the phasing was good.
Some mentioned that there was little character building in the fanedit. While it's true I think all the character building was always so bad in Walking Dead that I didn't mind.
Technically it was quite decently edited.. A few camera cuts felt a bit out of the place but nothing that major. The video quality is okay considering that the source material is heavily grained, something that I don't like at all.
In a nutshell: a bit confusing albeit fun ride from beginning to the end.
I wish someone would make the whole series into a grand fanedit with several parts. All the seasons after the 4th are a big mess but I think a good fanedit could make me want to re-watch the whole show.
User Review
Of the 3 Walking Dead edits currently available, this one is my favourite, although it is not without issues. The editor takes us on a wild ride through the first two seasons. The edit moves at breakneck speed and is a lot of fun. Just don't ask any questions about why certain characters said what they said or did what they did.
The title is a little strange. I get the reference to the classic movie, but this edit takes place over several weeks and doesn't really make sense. There are tons of little narrative issues throughout, an unfortunate effect of keeping the pace quick and chopping so much character development. That's another downfall - by keeping just the action and necessary plot points and chopping the character development, the audience ends up not getting invested in the fates of any of the characters. By the end of it, I didn't care whether anyone lived or died - everyone, even Rick, was expendable at that point. The ending isn't really an ending. We've survived the swarm at the farm and there's a far-away shot of.... some big institutional-type building. Having watched the show, we all know that this is the prison, but in the context of a stand-alone movie, it means nothing.
Having said all of that, this is certainly a fun ride and recommended for fans of the show. Just don't think about it too much.
User Review
The first season of Walking Dead was absolutely great but the second season suffered from slow pacing and soap opera-ish like dialogue and situations. This edit attempts to fix those issues and condense everything down into a single three hour epic version.
Overall this edit was a success, the editing was very nicely handled, there were some issues though. Since there was a large amount of material cut, things that were missing were much more noticeable when compared to other fan edits. Characters would just randomly disappear with no explanation, like all the characters who died in the CDC.
In addition, some people's behavior and motivations felt lacking. Shane's transformation felt much more gradual in the show because they had more time to flesh out his character but in this it seems like he goes from being Rick's best friend to wanting to kill him very quickly. The Sophia tragedy also felt more impactful in the show, again because they had more time to develop the anticipation.
My biggest complaint is near the end of the edit, Shane hit's his head against a tree and says that someone took his gun, someone that the whole group was looking for. It has been a while since I have watched season 2 and I actually forgot what was going on. During that part of the edit I became confused and had to pause the video and google a synopsis to understand what was going on. Because of this I had to deduct several points from the narrative.
There were also a few other instances with people limping or having bruises randomly which felt a little jarring because obviously something was missing but I understand that in an edit like this there will be several continuity issues.
Having said all that, I still enjoyed this edit quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen the show before but it works very well as a season recap. Something that one may watch during a season break to refresh the events before a new season starts instead of watching the entire season over again. I didn't like season 2 that much at all and I would much rather watch this edit than ever go back and watch each episode of season 2 over again.

This is a great type of show to edit. There's a great premise, a lot of good plot and action - but even more garbage. I still watch Walking Dead when new seasons come out, but I'm always disappointed. This edit did a great job of providing the good stuff at a reasonable pace and cut out most of the bad. True Blood is another show that could benefit from this type of edit, where parts of it are really good, but its just impossible to suffer through all the bad to get to it.
There were a few things plotwise that didn't make sense because of scenes that were cut. Glenn getting called walker-bait didn't really make sense in this version where he doesn't get lowered into the well. There were a few other things like that I noticed while watching, but forget now. They did not significantly lower my enjoyment.
At 3 hours, this edit is very long, but there aren't really any slow spots so it doesn't feel overlong.
I didn't see or hear any audio/video issues.

Wonderful job!! I LOVE this show, and well, ALL things Zombie.... That being said, I loved that this was edited down into ONE solid story arc, movie style. After a 5 day power outage in my area due to bad weather, and seeing the 'post apocalyptic' affect it had on my neighborhood, this was a very enjoyable distraction from everyday reality. Thanks for letting me experience this, I can't wait for the next one.....

Keeping your appointments for orthodontic treatment is important to ensure your treatment goes as quickly as possible.
In order to accommodate as many patients as possible at the preferred times of before and after school, longer appointments, (for example discussions regarding treatment, to have braces fitted or removed and to fit appliances) are scheduled during the day. We also schedule most repair appointments during the day to allow enough time for any issues to be fixed.
Once the braces or appliances are in place, most patients will attend the clinic every 6-10 weeks to "adjust" them. These appointments are usually 10 to 15 minutes in duration. Every attempt will be made to schedule your appointment at a convenient time for you. If we have your mobile number on file, your appointments can be be confirmed by SMS the day before.
Missing appointments significantly impedes the progress of treatment. Arriving late for appointments means we may need to reschedule the appointment or we may not have enough time to do everything scheduled for your visit. It also inconveniences other patients.
If you need to reschedule an appointment at short notice we are happy to assist however this appointment may need to be during school hours as there is limited availability before or after school and most appointments are scheduled 6-10 weeks in advance.
We strive to run on time and do our very best to accommodate the needs of our patients. Yetta and all the staff make every effort to schedule convenient times that also allow us to provide quality care. We appreciate your understanding and commitment to your orthodontic treatment.

What kind of Europe Russia needs? Strong or weak? Divided or united? I think that Russia needs an independent Europe, and the latter implies strength as well as solidarity. Unfortunately, recent events indicate the opposite. If Oswald Spengler wrote his work on Europe today, then it should have had the title "The Paralysis of Europe".

Recently former Israeli Mossad Director Tamir Pardo said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu planned to attack Iran in 2011. [i]Mr Pardo stressed that the order given to servicemen for the preparation of the attack was not a training exercise. Tel Aviv planned to launch an attack within 15 days, but this did not happen.

The next few months can be critical for implementing projects to supply Russian gas to Europe. The US administration is stepping up efforts aimed at disrupting the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline. At the same time, at the other end of the European energy map - in the Balkans - discussions on a future regional gas structure with a possible parallel renewal of the construction of a gas pipeline from Russia to Bulgaria under the Black Sea have livened up against the background of the successful implementation of the Turkish Stream project.

I met my friend the next day. He appeared to be very enthusiastic and curious today. He said, "Ebin, after our conversation, I spoke to two of my friends in IT industry. They don't agree with you! One of them said, "It is very hectic, high pressure and mental torture." Second one said, "We have strict and unrealistic deadlines, most of the times we don't even know what to do and what problem to solve and all blames comes to me." Does it mean that, you happen to work for a super cool company with great policies? Most of the companies out there are not so liberal and cool?"
I smiled and asked him, "Did you ask them about the other advantages/facilities I mentioned yesterday such as, internet, great pay, you tube, social media, WhatsApp, coffee/tea, etc..?"
He replied, "Of course yes. I reminded both of them about that. They partially agreed and said, "We have all that but who has time to think about all those. We are living inside a pressure cooker."
Then I mentioned, "Okay; that sets a good context for me to introduce what I do. "I work as an Agile coach. Even though people had lot of freedom and so many facilities; unfortunately most of them are not able be present to that. They live in a rabbit hole. By the way, did you probe your friends, to understand more about their challenges? What lead them to such a situation?"
He was waiting to get that question, "Yes, I did. This is what I understood,
- Unrealistic deadlines and targets: Organization always has high expectations, much more than they can accomplish.
- Communication issues: Customer is not to be seen at all till they deliver the product. All of a sudden they appear just to say "This is not what we want". They never say what they want. Even if someone manages to talk to the customer and understand what they are expecting, they keep changing that. "It is like shooting a moving target."
- Corporate politics: End of the year we are compared with other team mates to rate our performance. So we not only focus on highlighting our work but also suppress others work. Since we have to compete with each other, within the team, no much trust and relationship.
Overall I felt that their morale is down and they are demotivated and tired. I also asked about Agile coaching since you mentioned that yesterday. The laughed and said we also have some "jokers" in our company called Agile Coaches. They pour oil to the fire. Always come and increase our burden in the name of Agile."
That was provoking. J
I interrupted, "You seem to have done a great research by now. Most of what you said is very valid. You are a great communicator. You are qualified to become a "Product Owner". Let me share my perspective about the story.
Hey, my CEO, Neena (my wife) is calling. Hang in here, will come back soon."
Stay tuned to know "Why Agile software development is still fun!".

Philip Hammond has moved his dogs onto Downing Street - how will Larry and Palmerston react?
Philip Hammond has just moved his dogs into his residence on Downing Street.
His wife and a young woman believed to be his daughter were pictured walking them in St James's Park on the morning of the Autumn Statement.
One of the two is a Welsh Terrier, pictured above, called Rex.
According to experts, Welsh Terriers typically have a high prey drive, which means they will chase anything they class as prey, from rats to cats.
The Spectator reported earlier this year that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was worried about moving him in, as true to his breed, the terrier has been known to chase cats.
The other appears to be a smaller dog, which looks like a wire-haired dachshund. Get Surrey claims the other dog is named Oscar.
According to sources, Mr Hammond moved Rex and the other, smaller pooch in to Number 10 over the weekend.
This isn't the first time a dog has lived on Downing Street; in 2013 George Osborne announced he had purchased Bichon Frise puppy Lola.
However, the lapdog appeared uninterested in chasing Larry, who lived next door at the time.
Many would be aggrieved if Larry and Palmerston were scared off the street by dogs, as their many admirers from across the globe flock to see them.
The Telegraphhas contacted the Treasury and other sources in the Government for comment.
Veteran bruiser Larry may just be a match for any political pup. Political photographer Steve Back, who spends much of his time on Downing Street, said the tabby has already encountered Rex and was unfazed by him.
The No 10 cat has also taken to chasing Palmerston around the street.
Mr Back said the two were a whisker away from fighting on Tuesday morning, and had to be separated by a female member of Foreign Office staff.
He explained: "Larry instigated it, went into the Foreign Office, and he was chasing him around.
"Then the screaming started. You know how cats scream when they are about to fight? I was watching them chase each other in the Foreign Office through a metal gate on Downing Street."

I had wanted to call this thread, "The 'Let's-Post-The-Rest-Of-Our-Conversation-Here-So-We-Don't-Hijack-Someone-Else's-Thread' Thread." But the title was too long, apparently. Lol. But at any rate:
We all know how it goes. Someone posts a thread and amungst trying to help eachother - and because we are all chatter-boxes - we get way off of the subject matter of the thread.
So, I thought I would make a fun, light hearted thread where we all can continue our conversations so we can still show respect for eachother by not getting too carried away on eachother's threads.
The rules are simple:
1) Follow the Forum's house rules and TOS.
2) When in doubt, see Rule #1.
3) And there are no other "rules."
Being that this is designed to be a totally random thread and "hijacked" on a daily basis - The Watering Hole. 19th Hole. Local bar etc. - just remember to follow the Forum's rules ----> so it doesn't turn into Tombstone and the MODs have to come in here and Wyatt Earp your aaa....uhhh... butt.
And please try to name the person or cut and paste their quote before going on to what you were talking to them about. That way it will be easier for people to automatically "filter" through to their conversation.
Please, no private/personal info type stuff here. It is good practice not to post your email addy (unless you want to be herassed and stalked by spammers. (Thanks, MICHO, for reminding me of that one day))
And one last thing, it is my hope that this will be a place where you can link the person to if you were to take the conversation somewhere. Kind of like a communications radio asking someone to meet you on such-and-such a channel.
This way you don't have to worry about clogging up your PM inbox. And plus it's more fun to evesdrop on eachother, right? Lmao! J/K. We all have a great sense of humor and like to talk to eachother. So I am sure that different conversations can take all kinds of entertaining turns.
To elaborate a little more on what I said earlier, it can be like a place where a bunch of friends end up accidently bumping into eachother with different conversations already going on. Lol

Much of the research I am going to discuss is on writing and happiness. It deals with the therapeutic value of writing and its relation to improved well-being and reduced stress levels for those who do it regularly.
Research by Laura King, for instance, shows that writing about achieving future goals and dreams can make people happier and healthier. Another study by Adam Grant supports this claim. He found that when people did stressful fundraising jobs, and they kept a journal about how their work made a difference for a few days, their hourly effort had increased by 29% over the next two weeks.
This indicates that writing is not exclusively only for professional writers. In both emotional intelligence and hard sciences like mathematics, writing has been shown to help people communicate highly complex ideas more effectively. The reason is that writing helps eliminate the "it sounded well in my head" line of thinking by forcing your hand to put it out on a blank sheet and to give the thought a tangible form. Brains might forgive whimsical abstractions, but prose does not.
In one study that followed recently fired engineers, the researchers found that those engineers who consistently engaged with expressive writing were able to find another job faster:
"The engineers who wrote down their thoughts and feelings about losing their jobs reported feeling less anger and hostility toward their former employer. They also reported drinking less. Eight months later, less than 19% of the engineers in the control groups were reemployed full-time, compared with more than 52% of the engineers in the expressive writing group."
The explanation is that writing helps you to give form to your ideas and gets them out of your head; it alleviates the stress of losing your thoughts to time or an overcrowded mind.
In social psychology, there is something, called Pennebaker's Paradigm and it is tightly related to the benefits of writing. This writing paradigm was used to explore connections between disclosure and physical and mental health and to generate hypotheses about other psychological phenomena. Pennebaker began his research with interest in the impact of traumatic experiences on physical and mental health. He also had a hunch that if people expressed their feelings and thoughts about the traumatic event in words, it would enable them to avoid or improve already existing problems with mental and physical health. His research, now known as the Pennebaker's Paradigm, has established that expressive writing is generally associated with better health. This work supports a key principle of health psychology which holds that there is an important connection between emotions and health.
However, one does not need to turn only to science to reach the same conclusions. Many creative writers agree that there is nothing better for one's mental health than writing. The poet Anne Sexton, for example, said: "Poetry led me by the hand out of madness." Virginia Woolf, on the other hand, acknowledged the critical significance of To the Lighthouse in working through issues connected with her parents. Writing was also a form of therapy for the novelist Graham Greene, who suffered from manic depression. A long line of outstanding writers – Eugene O'Neill, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Sylvia Plath, for example – have written about their emotional pain and produced major literary works. Although these studies do not involve therapeutic approaches, their findings suggest some therapeutic uses of creative and expressive writing that may well be on a firmer psycho-biological foundation. Writing can represent a direct line from feeling and thinking to healing – and there are increasing numbers of those who advocate "writing therapy."
J.K. Rowling is another example of the therapeutic effects of creative writing. She discovered the power of writing to beat depression. Not just writing a little bit, but building it as a daily discipline and seeing it through. In her early 30s, she started writing the success-to-be book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. She struggled with personal problems during this time:
- the death of her mother,
- estrangement from her father,
- a newborn child,
- a volatile and short-lived marriage,
- life on welfare,
- a battle with clinical depression.
Stuck in fearful cycles of rumination and doubt she began writing the novel, Harry Potter.
The hooded monsters in the book, the Dementors, are Rowling's incarnation of her experience of severe depression:
Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them… Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself…soulless and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life.
Thus, writing and seeing her vision become a reality was the turning point in her depression.
Overall, there is already an impressive base of accumulating evidence, which is beginning to reveal how expressive writing may promote health and emotional well-being – possibly by stress-buffering and cognitive restructuring processes. Writing generates more structure in one's life, countering the unstructured and chaotic lifestyle that mental health problems can produce. Secondly, writing helps people get out of their head by allowing the writer to concentrate on the page and let it all come out. As Umberto Eco puts it: "To survive, you must tell stories."
Nesrin Nazlieva is a Psychology student at Erasmus University. She decided to follow the example of her predecessors who, back in 1460, left the Karamanid beylik and immigrated to Bulgaria. Instead of Bulgaria, however, she chose the Netherlands. Her short story with a not so short title 'The Story of a Wanderer Who Traveled the World in Search of His Hat' earned her a second place in one of the most prestigious national literary contests in 2015. When she is not glued to a book, she spends time working out in the garden, learning Spanish, and trying very hard not to be the worst player at Ludo.

Presents from the Past – An Irishman's Diary about mutant verbs and moving statues
There was an interesting juxtaposition of events involving public commemoration this week, first at Dublin Castle, then Leinster House.
In the latter, an Oireachtas committee considered evicting a statue of Prince Albert as an unwanted relic of Ireland's colonial past. The idea was rejected in the end, partly because the Oireachtas doesn't own the monument, although members also argued the principle that the past is complicated and that statuary should reflect this.
Meanwhile at the castle, in an example of how winners write the history books, suffragette heroine Hanna Sheehy Skeffington was being commemorated with a new plaque at the place where, as the English half of the inscription put it, she had once "smashed these windows" in support of female emancipation.
This would have been popular with the public now anyway. But the plaque's appeal will only be increased by its inclusion of the more poetic, Irish version of what she did: "a rinne smidiriní de na fuinneoga seo".
As @AnDuinnineach, a Twitter tribute to Dineen's Dictionary put it, the plaque is "even better as Gaeilge".
Others agreed. "Smidiríní has long been my favourite Irish word to say", commented one tweeter, while a second pointed out that "this is the origin, just in case it isn't obvious, of the English word 'smithereens'."
Well, actually, it is and it isn't. As often with language, which is even messier than history, there are chickens and eggs involved here. For although smithereen is generally considered an Irish gift to English, it may have similarities with the word craic, which was born in England as "crack" but moved to Connemara in the 1970s and changed its name.
Certainly, the "een" part of Smithereen is classic Hiberno-English, from the Irish diminutive "ín". The "smither" bit, however, may be just as English as it sounds. The Oxford English Dictionary thinks so, anyway, suggesting "smithers" already meant "small fragments" before the Irish further shattered them.
Against that, Terence Dolan in his Dictionary of Hiberno-English, suggests "smithereens" is recorded earlier in English than "smithers", and also counters the latter with the "Anglo-Irish" verb to smither, meaning "break in bits".
But he points out that English has "smattering" too, along with "smaddereen", a dialect version of same. And just to complicate things, Dolan also throws in a present-tense version of smither: as used, apparently, during a UTV news report in May 1999.
I don't know what exactly was happening in Northern Ireland then, but whatever it was, the parties were said to be "smithering".
Another thing that has often ended up in smithereens, of course, is Irish statuary, especially when it commemorates former overlords
While we're at it, I would be disappointed if, somewhere in the world, people with the surname Smithers (like Mr Burns's lackey in The Simpsons) do not call their children "Smithereens".
Either way, I can at least confirm that "Smithereens" is what residents of the West Virginia town of Smithers (population 813) call themselves.
Another thing that has often ended up in smithereens, of course, is Irish statuary, especially when it commemorates former overlords. But then the problem with statues, unlike words, is that they don't mutate so easily, to blend in with changing local conditions.
Mind you, the creator of the Leinster House Prince Albert, John Hughes, was a Dubliner.
And when he also got the job of reproducing Albert's wife, Queen Victoria, for the same location in 1904, he did his best to give her an Irish accent, or at least shamrocks and a few other humanising touches.
Alas it didn't work. She was removed in 1948 and, four decades later, transported to Australia.
We should after all be able to absorb a few colonists' statues as well as we did their language, which we have sometimes shamelessly appropriated by nothing more than altering a vowel
Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is now also out of sympathy with his surroundings. Indeed even in Britain, his descendants had to change their name to "Windsor" in 1917, when it was too German for comfort.
He would soon seem even more out of place in Dublin, despite being partly camouflaged by a hedge.
But there are not that many of his kind left here now and, ownership issues aside, the Oireachtas did the right thing in deciding not to oust him.
We should after all be able to absorb a few colonists' statues as well as we did their language, which we have sometimes shamelessly appropriated by nothing more than altering a vowel.
I'm not thinking only of craic. An even better example is feck, whose origins were just as Anglo-Saxon as Prince Albert's. Then at some point it it moved here and went native, dropping its "u" for an "e".
Now, not only is it Ireland's national swear-word, we're also increasingly exporting it back to the UK, as a more socially acceptable version of the original.

HIlton Approves Downtown Columbia Site for Doubletree
COLUMBIA - Broadway Lodging LLC announced in a press release Friday that the Hilton Hotels Corporation has approved its application to construct a 114-room Doubletree hotel at 1111 East Broadway in downtown Columbia. That is the current site of the Regency Hotel.
The hotel will be called "The Broadway, a Doubletree by Hilton" and will be constructed on the site of the existing Regency Hotel. Hotel developer and owner David Parmley said, "(I) wanted to create a more boutique style hotel that can capture the unique spirit of downtown Columbia. Naming the hotel 'The Broadway' will allow us more design latitude and creativity that will differentiate the property from a typical Doubletree hotel while still taking full advantage of the Hilton reservation system, Doubletree systems and the HHonors travel reward program."
Construction of the new seven-story hotel will begin by the end of 2011, with an expected opening in spring 2013.
