    Glamour Girl! Smackdown Stunner! Q and A With Former WWE Diva, Actress and Playboy Model, Ashley Massaro Author : Robert D. Cobb Bikinis. Swimsuit. Lingerie. Welcome to Glamour Girl!, INSCMagazine’s new bi-weekly feature that will appear every Monday and Friday. GG! will feature some of today’s hottest bikini, swimsuit, Instagram and fitness models, bloggers, influencers and actresses today in the realm of lifestyle, modeling and entertainment, with a touch of style, class, quality in-depth writing and eye-catching images. 1 / 19 2 / 19 Whether you are a casual, die-hard or lifelong fan, one thing all men can agree on is the sexiness of a WWE Diva. Divas, the female wrestlers of the uber-popular WWE and WWF have piqued the interest and have long been the pinnacle of beauty and athleticism, names such as Trish Stratus, Chyna, Stephanie McMahon, Sable, Lita, Michelle McCool, Stacy Keibler, Kelly Kelly, Torrie Wilson all had a hand in putting the “diva’ in WWE Diva. If there was a modern-day definition of what a toned, sexy, hot and athletic woman, who was not in Playboy or on Instagram--which wasn't even around--it was the WWE Diva. While today, we have the likes of Charlotte, Sasha, the Bella twins, etc, the formementioned First Ladies of Wrestling helped lay the groundwork of looking hot while getting dirty on the mat. One such diva who was among those performing bodyslams while looking good in mixing it up was none other than Ashley. 3 / 19 Ashley, also known as Ashley Massaro, made her WWE debut after winning the WWE Diva Search in 2005.

    Nouse Web Archives County Warfare Page 1 of 4 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Sport › News & Features Comment Varsity Roses College Cup Fantasy Football County Warfare Jamie Summers assesses the plight of Stockport County, as they prepare for life in the sixth tier of English football Saturday 29 June 2013 The supporters of Stockport County are punch drunk. Those with longer memories will remember Stockport as a Championship outfit. Beating Manchester City became a regular (and very enjoyable) experience. But County’s remarkable fall from grace over the last decade is so drastic that perhaps only Portsmouth have experienced the same. A full account of the last 10 years would require a book, so I start two years ago in 2011/12. Having only exited a damaging period of administration 12 months previously, County had just endured their second successive relegation – culminating in non-league football for the first time in living memory. Despite the goings-on of the previous few years (which I won’t bore you with), the summer of 2011 was one of excitement. A potential new takeover saw the appointment of Champions League winner Didi Hamann as manager and a handsome budget to help guide the club back into the Football League at the first attempt. That utopian dream failed to materialise. Fourth months in, the Hatters were languishing in 17th place and looking a good bet for a third successive relegation. The squad was spineless, and having lost the support of the majority of fans, Hamann departed after just 19 games.

    Make Votes Matter www.makevotesmatter.org.uk Contact: Joe Sousek Chris Skidmore MP E: [email protected] Minister for the Constitution T: 07402 965566 Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Copied to: Theresa May Prime Minister 10th October 2016 If our Constitution is to continue “evolving and adapting in line with people’s expectations and needs” the case for Proportional Representation must be given full and fair consideration Dear Mr Skidmore, Congratulations on your appointment as Minister for the Constitution. Now more than ever, stewardship of the UK’s constitution and democratic processes is a crucial role. We therefore welcome your commitment to “see our democracy grow in strength and that everyone can have their ​ voice heard”1, and we wish you every success in the job. ​ It is difficult, however, to see how our democracy can grow in strength or how everyone can have their voice heard without addressing the failures of the UK’s primary democratic process: the election of MPs to the House of Commons through our First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system. In May 2015, one quarter (24.4%) of votes went to the candidates and manifestos of the Green Party, the Liberal Democrats or UK Independence Party. But FPTP delivered a parliament in which these parties share ten seats (1.5% of 650 Commons seats). This cannot be said to be a parliament in which ​ ​ “everyone can have their voice heard”. On the contrary, it is a parliament from which the voices of 7.5 million voters are all but excluded. If our democracy is to grow in strength, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that every vote carries equal weight.
