Historic rivalry
Although the two clubs have not met for the past eight years, the rivalry between Leeds United and Chelsea still remains one of football's most long-standing feuds
By Ryan Parrish
Last Updated: 19/12/12 9:41pm
The rivalry between Leeds United and Chelsea really cemented itself in football folklore when the two sides contested the 1970 FA Cup final.
The game at Wembley finished 2-2 when Ian Hutchinson's late equaliser for Chelsea took the match to the first Cup final replay in 58 years. Leeds dominated for the majority of the game, hitting the woodwork three times and twice taking the lead, with winger Eddie Gray torturing Chelsea right-back David Webb all game. But the Whites just could not put the tie to bed.
Author of 'The Essential History of Leeds United', Andrew Mourant, spoke of Leeds' performance, saying: "Told by manager Don Revie to go out and play, they responded with one of the best post-war exhibitions of football Wembley had seen. Eddie Gray unfurled a performance of tormenting skill on the left wing, reducing Chelsea right-back David Webb to impotence. Other Chelsea defenders floundered in spaces where Leeds men had been."
Just over a fortnight later, the two teams met again for the replay at Old Trafford in front of a television audience of 28million, a modern day record for an FA Cup final. Chelsea were 2-1 winners in extra time thanks to a Webb goal.
But the tie is remembered for its constant on-pitch battles and it is widely regarded as one of the dirtiest games ever. In his match report, The Times' football correspondent, Geoffrey Green, described the game as: "one of the most punishing finals in modern history - perhaps all history," and another reported: "Wherever you looked on the field there was mayhem, as players kicked, gouged and butted each other with impunity."
Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Bonetti suffered a knee injury during the game after a collision with Mick Jones and he told Chelsea's official website: "It probably was the most physical game I played in and today it would never have lasted. Referees today say it would not have got past the first 20 minutes, because of the tackles, but that was the game in those days and you had to put up with it."
After Gray's performance at Wembley, it was no surprise Ron 'Chopper' Harris was given the task of man-marking the Scotsman in the replay. Chelsea manager Dave Sexton was praised for his choice to swap the positions of Webb and Harris to deal with Gray, and many believe this decision was a vital factor in the Blues lifting the trophy, including Bonetti, who said: "Dave saw what had happened there and he put Ronnie out in the right-back position to cope with Gray and Webby was far, far happier in the middle where he could win things. He and John Dempsey made a tremendous partnership."
Chelsea's Alan Hudson admitted Harris knew exactly what his job was, saying: "Ron 'Chopper' Harris did not need any telling. His scything tackle on the wing wizard Eddie Gray in the opening minutes was chilling."
Remarkably there was only one booking all game and when former Premier League referee David Elleray reviewed the match over 30 years later, he revealed he would have handed out six red cards and a staggering 20 yellows. Leeds defender Jack Charlton furiously stormed off the pitch without collecting his runners-up medal and he later admitted: "The disappointment was incredible. I went straight to the dressing room and kicked open the door. I've never been more upset over losing a game, maybe because it was partly my fault." He added: "It wasn't the losing of the game; it was the losing of the game to Chelsea."
What happened on the pitch at Old Trafford was a product of several personal vendettas and collective anger that had accumulated over the years after a number of heated previous meetings between the two teams throughout the 1960s.
Revie's Leeds side had gained a reputation for their aggressive approach to life in Division One, and when Chelsea were 2-0 winners in the 1964 tie at Stamford Bridge, Phil Brown from the Yorkshire Evening Post commented: "'Never mind the ball' seemed to be the order of the day, as scything, irresponsible tackles ruffled tempered."
The rivalry intensified in the following season when the two sides met at Villa Park in an FA Cup semi-final. Tempers flared early on when Leeds goalkeeper Gary Sprake's boot connected with John Boyle's face as they challenged for a high ball. It was a typically heated affair, fuelled by Leeds having two goals dubiously disallowed as Chelsea went on to win 1-0 before going on to be beaten 2-1 at Wembley by Tottenham Hotspur.
The games throughout the 1960s, culminating in the 1970 FA Cup final, had laid the foundations for one of football's most bitter rivalries and, in 1971, after a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge, Green said the game "more resembled some mafia vendetta than football."
Both teams suffered a decline towards the end of the 1970s and they subsequently both found themselves in the Second Division, where they played each other for the first time in four years in 1982 when they contested a 0-0 draw.
Two years later, they met at Stamford Bridge, with John Neal's Chelsea needing a win to seal their return to the First Division. The game was marred by clashes between supporters but a Kerry Dixon hat-trick helped Chelsea to an emphatic 5-0 win, sealing their return to the top flight for the first time in five years.
Things remained just as intense between the two clubs during the 1990s and both teams enjoyed somewhat of a revival towards the end of the decade. They battled out a heated 0-0 draw in 1997 in which there were eight players booked and Leeds had Gary Kelly and Alf-Inge Haaland sent off. Comparisons between the game and the high-tempered clashes of the 1970s were drawn due to the physical nature of the contest. PA Sport's chief football writer at the time, Martin Lipton, claimed the game was "a throwback to the worst excesses of the Revie era when the likes of 'Chopper' Harris kicked lumps out of Johnny Giles and Co."
Wednesday's Capital One Cup quarter-final will be the first competitive meeting between the two sides since Leeds' relegation from the Premier League in 2004, although hostilities have remained and, with both teams enduring frustrating seasons so far, it could well be a game reminiscent of the clashes during previous eras.

Any new parent will tell you that one of the hardest things to adjust to with a baby is the whole not getting a remotely decent amount of sleep thing. Unless you are one of those one in a million people who wound up with a gem of a baby who slept through the night on day one, I'm sure you've struggled with what you should or should not do when your little one wakes up crying in the middle of the night.
Well, a new study conducted at Temple University in Philadelphia has concluded that letting your baby cry it out is the best plan to ensure that he or she learns how to self-soothe.
Um, that's all well and good -- but listening to your baby cry, moan, and wail for you in the middle of the night and not doing a darn thing about it is way, way easier said than done.
I can't help but wonder if any of the researchers involved are moms, because if they are, they should really know better than to tell us to just let our babies cry and go back to sleep and forget about it.
When my son was a baby, he was not a good sleeper. At all. Granted, he went to bed and fell asleep very easily each night, but he woke up crying at least once or twice until he was around 8 or 9 months old.
And after a few people urged me to let him cry it out with the promise of his waking up in the middle of the night being corrected in a day or two -- I finally did it. And it nearly broke my heart. I listened to him cry incessantly for a good 45 minutes before he finally gave up and fell asleep -- and I'm pretty sure I cried right along with him.
I felt like I'd abandoned him in some way, like he couldn't understand why I wasn't coming for him. And I just couldn't bear the thought of him feeling like I'd forgotten about him or didn't care, which is why the next night, I promptly went into his room when he woke up crying.
Instead of picking him up out of his crib, however, I simply went over and assured him that I was there, rubbed his head a little, gave him his pacifier, and not too long after that, he drifted back off to sleep. The process only took about five or ten minutes, and it was much less stressful than laying in my bed tossing and turning and listening to him cry, that's for sure.
To each his own, but for me, there's no way I'd do the crying it out thing if I had another baby. News flash -- babies cry in the middle of the night, because they're babies and that's what babies do. It's part of the deal, and instead of trying to find a magical one-size-fits-all solution, parents really just need to do whatever works best for them. Seriously, don't these researchers have anything better to analyze?
Have you ever let your baby cry it out?

NLU names new Dean of College of Arts and Sciences and College of Management and Business
Christopher Cassirer-Malaeb, ScD, MPH, has been named the new Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Management and Business at National Louis University. Cassirer-Malaeb, who most recently served in many leadership roles at Capella University in Minneapolis, brings a wealth of experience in traditional non-profit, online and for-profit university management.
He will assume his new role at the university on November 15, 2012. Cassirer-Malaeb, 48, joins the institution at a pivotal time, as National Louis continues to re-build and re-position for growth and distinction. Gale Stam, Ph.D. and professor of psychology, currently serves as the interim dean.
"Chris has a track record of success delivering excellence in teaching and learning, supporting high-performing faculty, and ensuring superior student experience," said National Louis Provost Christine Quinn. "He's an accomplished, decisive leader with proven success in academic leadership, new market identification and strategic positioning. He brings a strengths-based approach to his leadership and will be a wonderful addition to the NLU team."
Cassirer-Malaeb is the first in his family to attend and finish college and graduate school, and was a postdoctoral fellow in public health at the Johns Hopkins University, where he also earned a doctor of science in public health. He received a master of public health degree from Yale University School of Medicine, and a bachelor of arts in psychology from Rutgers University.
After teaching at Johns Hopkins University, he was an associate professor and endowed chair of health care management at the University of Minnesota. Following this work, he was an associate professor and director of experiential learning in the master of health administration program at The George Washington University. He then joined Capella University, where he has served in several leadership roles, including senior faculty member, faculty director, dean of the School of Human Services, and president. He has led teams of faculty and administrative colleagues, driven strategic and operational planning processes, selected and helped develop new faculty, designed and implemented new academic and professional programs, and worked through the program and university accreditation processes.
"Transforming and innovating in higher education is our greatest opportunity and our greatest challenge," said Cassirer-Malaeb. "I am honored and excited to be joining the NLU community at this important time in the university's history and to begin working in synergy with the leadership, faculty and staff to move the CAS and the CMB forward to better meet the needs of today's 'new traditional' students.

Twitter in Microsoft/Google Three-Way, as Search Giant Crashes Data-Mining Party
How nonexclusive is Microsoft's deal with Twitter?
So nonexclusive that just hours after Microsoft (MSFT) announced it, rival Google (GOOG) lurched forward to say that it has entered into a similar partnership with the San Francisco-based microblogging service.
The search giant may be second to this party, but it's not going to be late. But make no mistake–this is very clearly a rush job.
Some proof? Microsoft has code running. Google does not.
Twitter and Google announced the deal in posts to their respective company blogs.
"Our friends down in Mountain View want to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," Twitter co-founder Evan Williams wrote. "A fast growing amount of information is coursing through Twitter very quickly, and we want there to be many ways to access that information. As part of that effort, we've partnered with Google to index the entire world of public tweets as fast as possible and present them to their users in an organized and relevant fashion."
Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search, was similarly enthusiastic about the deal.
"We believe that our search results and user experience will greatly benefit from the inclusion of this up-to-the-minute data, and we look forward to having a product that showcases how tweets can make search better in the coming months," Mayer wrote. "That way, the next time you search for something that can be aided by a real-time observation, say, snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, you'll find tweets from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information."
Once Google gets around to indexing Twitter's real-time data.

In Annie Hall we have the eponymous heroine, who is neurotic, trying to find some semblance of happiness. Pit her against another neurotic, a New York comedian Alvy Singer their combined neurosis must be a veritable mine and naturally enough with the success of Annie Hall a new genre of movies came in vogue of which When Harry Met Sally is one. This movie marks a turning point in the career of Woody Allen. Gone were the slapstick jokes, pratfalls and high-paced hilarity that had marked his earlier films (Bananas, Sleeper, and Love and Death). His films became mature.
Interestingly enough Woody Allen began this project as a whodunit mystery with possibly a love angle. Allen and co-screenwriter Marshall Brickman actually produced a script during which the role of Diane Keaton moved from secondary role to the central role. As always the case the original intent of murder mystery was dropped. ( see trivia section at the end)
The film is titled Annie Hall but the film is clearly built around Alvy Sanger. It traces the course of their relationship from their first meeting, and serves as an interesting historical document about love in the 70s.
Film Overview
Annie Hall's story unfolds in retrospect with Alvy, as the narrator, attempting to make sense of his relationship with Annie within the context of his entire life.
Annie Hall begins with Alvy speaking directly to the camera. He delivers a few key jokes that set the tone rightaway. His pessimism owes its origin to his childhood. The flashback takes us to his visit to a doctor at the age of nine. Alvy is depressed because, as he explains, the universe is expanding and it is likely to explode one day. He has a few more episodes till he arrives at the place when he began dating Annie, an aspiring singer and she shows up late for their movie date.
In line at the theater, the couple bickers: Alvy complains about the obnoxious loudmouth behind him; Annie, about missing her therapy session.
From there their relationship leads to an unsatisfactory bout in bed. The film flashes back to Alvy's first wife, Allison. Such jump in flasback is satisfactorily sustained because of an image or phrase that crops up and it is a cue for breaking the chronological order of his narration.. For example Annie while in bed asks about Allison, which explains how he met her at a fundraiser, and their sexual problems when married. The film also flashes back to Annie's previous romantic relationships. Instead of the devise of speech balloons in a comic strip Woody Allen resorts to this unusual gag which is purely visual: he and Annie let us know their views as each partner present their past. The film succeeds in spite of the patter that isn't first class. For example after sex with Annie his comment 'That sex was the most fun I've ever had without laughing' is borrowed from a quote,"That was the most fun I've ever had without laughing" by H.L. Mencken in 1942 (and later by Humphrey Bogart). Towards the end after losing Annie Hall he is shooting a film referring to their reltionship but with a happy ending. His observes,"You're always trying to get things to come out perfect in art because it's real difficult in life." It could have been from any of the Wildean plays but without his polish.
Ultimately the film is of a high quality throughout. It won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1977. Allen walked off with the Best Director award while Keaton deservedly won for Best Actress. Premiere voted this movie as one of "The 50 Greatest Comedies Of All Time" in 2006.
* Some of the murder mystery elements that were meant to be part of this film were transferred by Woody Allen to his later film Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993), which also co-starred Diane Keaton.
* Alvy's (Woody Allen's) sneezing into the cocaine was an unscripted accident. When previewed, the audience laughed so loud that director Allen decided to leave it in, and had to add footage to compensate for people missing the next few jokes from laughing too much.
* During the lobster-cooking scene Annie runs and retrieves a camera to take pictures of Alvy dealing with the crustaceans. Later, when Alvy runs over to Annie's house to smash a spider, the series of photos Annie took is on the wall in the background.
* Diane Keaton's real name is Diane Hall and her nickname is Annie.
* Sigourney Weaver's screen debut, in a non-speaking part as Alvy's date near the end of the movie.
* The jokes that Woody Allen tells in front of the audience at the University of Wisconsin and on "The Dick Cavett Show" (1968) are from his stand-up comic days.
* Annie's outfits, which caused a brief fashion rage, were Diane Keaton's own clothes.
* When waiting in front of the movie theater, Alvy Singer says, "I'm standing out here with the cast of the Godfather," to Diane Keaton, who was in the cast of The Godfather (1972). Additionally, one of the men who bothers him for the autograph is played by actor Rick Petrucelli, who had a small role in The Godfather as a thug who protects Michael en route to the hospital.
* In the scene where Alvy questions people on the street about what makes a relationship, a large crowd can be seen in the background watching the filming.
* Ben Stiller comments how he likes the scene when Alvy has to meet Annie's family in AFI's 100 Years… 100 Movies (1998) (TV) and how it relates to him personally because he always was very apprehensive meeting his girlfriends' parents. Stiller starred in Meet the Parents (2000), which revolved around that very idea.
* Alvy calls the two fans that pester him at the movie theatre 'Cheech'. In Bullets Over Broadway (1994), also directed by Allen, Chazz Palminteri's gangster character is called 'Cheech.'
* The film's working title was "Anhedonia" – the inability to feel pleasure. United Artists fought against it (among other things, they were unable to come up with an ad campaign that explained the meaning of the word) and Allen compromised on naming the film after the central character three weeks before the film's premiere.
* The film Alvy is waiting to see with Annie is Ansikte mot ansikte (1976) (Face to Face) by Ingmar Bergman, one of Woody Allen's biggest influences.
* The first rough cut ran 2 hours and 20 minutes. Among the scenes later eliminated were: segments showing Alvy's former classmates in the present day; Alvy as a teenager; a scene in a junk-food restaurant (featuring Danny Aiello); extensive additional scenes featuring Carol Kane, Janet Margolin, Colleen Dewhurst and Shelley Duvall; and a fantasy segment at Madison Square Garden featuring the New York Knicks competing against a team of five great philosophers. Christopher Walken's driving scene was also cut, but was restored a week before the film was completed. New material for the ending was filmed on three occasions, but most was discarded. The final montage was a late addition.
* One scene cut from the film is a fantasy sequence of Annie and Alvy visiting hell. This scene was rewritten 20 years later for Allen's Deconstructing Harry (1997).
* Marshall McLuhan was not Allen's first choice. Federico Fellini and Luis Buñuel were asked first.
* The completely silent credits were inspired by The Front (1976), which starred Woody Allen.
* Alvy and Annie never say "I love you" to each other. The closest they come is when Alvy says love isn't a strong enough word for how he feels.
* During the classroom flashbacks, one of the teachers writes, "Tuesday, December 1" on the chalkboard. December 1 is Woody Allen's birthday, and Tuesday December 1, 1942 was his seventh birthday, tying in with the school setting.
* On "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (1993) (28 February 1995), Harvey Fierstein revealed that both he and Danny Aiello had bit parts in this classic, but their scenes ended up on the cutting room floor.
* Woody Allen originally filmed a scene in which a traffic advisory sign "urges" Alvy to go to Annie in California. Editor Ralph Rosenblum wrote that Allen was so disgusted by the scene's cuteness that he took the footage and threw it into the East River. The traffic-sign motif was later used in Steve Martin's "L.A. Story."
* The passerby Alvy refers to as "the winner of the Truman Capote look-alike contest" is in fact Truman Capote, who appears uncredited.
* Admiral Elmo Zumwalt appears on "The Dick Cavett Show" (1968) in the clip with Woody Allen (Alvy Singer).
* [June 2008] Ranked #2 on the American Film Institute's list of the 10 greatest films in the genre "Romantic Comedy".
* The movie's line "Hey, don't knock masturbation – it's sex with someone I love!" was voted as the #78 of "The 100 Greatest Movie Lines" by Premiere in 2007.
* * When Alvy is listing the reasons he doesn't like the country, he mentions "the Manson family, and Dick and Perry" — Dick and Perry are references to Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, the two men who invaded the home of, and murdered, the Clutter family on their farm in Kansas in 1959.
Memorable quotes:
Alvy Singer: Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here.
Alvy Singer: My grammy never gave gifts. She was too busy getting raped by Cossacks.
Annie Hall: La-di-da, la-di-da, la la.
[after sex with Annie]
Alvy Singer: That sex was the most fun I've ever had without laughing.
[In California]
Annie Hall: It's so clean out here.
Alvy Singer: That's because they don't throw their garbage away, they turn it into television shows.
Annie Hall: So you wanna go into the movie or what?
Alvy Singer: No, I can't go into a movie that's already started, because I'm anal.
Annie Hall: That's a polite word for what you are.
Duane: Can I confess something? I tell you this as an artist,I think you'll understand. Sometimes when I'm driving… on the road at night… I see two headlights coming toward me. Fast. I have this sudden impulse to turn the wheel quickly, head-on into the oncoming car. I can anticipate the explosion. The sound of shattering glass. The… flames rising out of the flowing gasoline.
Alvy Singer: Right. Well, I have to – I have to go now, Duane, because I, I'm due back on the planet Earth.
[a guest is calling his meditation guru]
Party guest: Hello? I forgot my mantra.
Alvy Singer: What's with all these awards? They're always giving out awards. Best Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler.
[Alvy addresses a pair of strangers on the street]
Alvy Singer: Here, you look like a very happy couple, um, are you?
Female street stranger: Yeah.
Alvy Singer: Yeah? So, so, how do you account for it?
Female street stranger: Uh, I'm very shallow and empty and I have no ideas and nothing interesting to say.
Male street stranger: And I'm exactly the same way.
Alvy Singer: I see. Wow. That's very interesting. So you've managed to work out something?
[first lines]
Alvy Singer: [addressing the camera] There's an old joke – um… two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life – full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. The… the other important joke, for me, is one that's usually attributed to Groucho Marx; but, I think it appears originally in Freud's "Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious," and it goes like this – I'm paraphrasing – um, "I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." That's the key joke of my adult life, in terms of my relationships with women.
Alvy Singer: I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.
[after Annie parks the car]
Alvy Singer: Don't worry. We can walk to the curb from here.
Annie Hall: Sometimes I ask myself how I'd stand up under torture.
Alvy Singer: You? You kiddin'? If the Gestapo would take away your Bloomingdale's charge card, you'd tell 'em everything.
Alvy Singer: Annie, there's a big lobster behind the refrigerator. I can't get it out. This thing's heavy. Maybe if I put a little dish of butter sauce here with a nutcracker, it will run out the other side.
Annie Hall: Oh, you see an analyst?
Alvy Singer: Yeah, just for fifteen years.
Annie Hall: Fifteen years?
Alvy Singer: Yeah, I'm gonna give him one more year, and then I'm goin' to Lourdes.
Alvy Singer: A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.
Alvy Singer: Love is too weak a word for what I feel – I luuurve you, you know, I loave you, I luff you, two F's, yes I have to invent, of course I – I do, don't you think I do?
[Annie wants to smoke marijuana before sex]
Alvy Singer: Yeah, grass, right? The illusion that it will make a white woman more like Billie Holiday.
Annie Hall: Well, have you ever made love high?
Alvy Singer: Me? No. I – I, you know, If I have grass or alcohol or anything, I get unbearably wonderful. I get too, too wonderful for words. I don't know why you have to get high every time we make love.
Annie Hall: It relaxes me.
Alvy Singer: You have to be artificially relaxed before we can go to bed?
Annie Hall: Well, what's the difference anyway?
Alvy Singer: Well, I'll give you a shot of sodium pentathol. You can sleep through it.
Annie Hall: Oh come on. Look who's talking. You've been seeing a psychiatrist for 15 years. You should smoke some of this. You'd be off the couch in no time.
[Alvy is having sex with Annie]
Alvy Singer: Hey, is something wrong?
Annie Hall: No, why?
Alvy Singer: I don't know. It's like you're removed.
[a ghost of Annie rises from herself, and sits in a chair to watch]
Annie Hall: No, I'm fine.
Alvy Singer: Are you with me?
Annie Hall: Uh, huh.
Alvy Singer: I don't know. You seem sort of distant.
Annie Hall: Let's just do it, all right?
Alvy Singer: Is it my imagination, or are you just going through the motions?
Ghost of Annie Hall: Alvy, do you remember where I put my drawing pad? Because while you two are doing that, I think I'm going to do some drawing.
Alvy Singer: [gesturing to the ghost] You see, that's what I call removed.
[Alvy Singer does a stand-up comic act for a college audience]
Alvy Singer: I was thrown out of N.Y.U. my freshman year for cheating on my metaphysics final, you know. I looked within the soul of the boy sitting next to me. When I was thrown out, my mother, who was an emotionally high-strung woman, locked herself in the bathroom and took an overdose of Mah-Jongg tiles. I was depressed at that time. I was in analysis. I was suicidal as a matter of fact and would have killed myself, but I was in analysis with a strict Freudian, and, if you kill yourself, they make you pay for the sessions you miss.
[Alvy confronts Annie about having an affair]
Alvy Singer: Well, I didn't start out spying. I thought I'd surprise you. Pick you up after school.
Annie Hall: Yeah, but you wanted to keep the relationship flexible. Remember, it's your phrase.
Alvy Singer: Oh stop it, you're having an affair with your college professor, that jerk that teaches that incredible crap course, Contemporary Crisis in Western Man…
Annie Hall: Existential Motifs in Russian Literature. You're really close.
Alvy Singer: What's the difference? It's all mental masturbation.
Annie Hall: Oh, well, now we're finally getting to a subject you know something about.
Alvy Singer: Hey, don't knock masturbation. It's sex with someone I love.
Annie Hall: We're not having an affair. He's married. He just happens to think I'm neat.
Alvy Singer: "Neat." What are you, 12 years old? That's one of your Chippewa Falls expressions.
Annie Hall: Who cares? Who cares?
Alvy Singer: Next thing you know, he'll find you keen and peachy, you know. Next thing you know, he's got his hand on your ass.
Annie Hall: You've always had hostility towards David, ever since I mentioned him.
Alvy Singer: Dav – you call your teacher David?
Annie Hall: It's his name.
Alvy Singer: It's a Biblical name, right? What does he call you, Bathsheba?
Alvy Singer: It's mental masturbation!
Annie Hall: And you would know all about THAT, wouldn't you?
Alvy Singer: Hey, don't knock masturbation! It's sex with someone I love.
Annie Hall: So I told her about, about the family and about my feelings towards men and about my relationship with my brother. And then she mentioned penis envy. Do you know about that?
Alvy Singer: Me? I'm, I'm one of the few males who suffers from that.
[Alvy questions an old man on the street about his sex life]
Alvy Singer: With your wife in bed, does she need some kind of artificial stimulation, like, like marijuana?
Old man on street: We use a large vibrating egg.
Pam: Sex with you is really a Kafka-esque experience.
Alvy Singer: Oh. Thank you.
Pam: I mean that as a compliment.
Alvy Singer: I think, I think there's too much burden placed on the orgasm, you know, to make up for empty areas in life.
Pam: Who said that?
Alvy Singer: It may have been Leopold and Loeb.
[Alvy sees a program from the Fillmore East and The National Review in Annie's apartment]
Alvy Singer: Are you going with a right-wing rock 'n roll star?
Alvy Singer: Honey, there's a spider in your bathroom the size of a Buick.
[Alvy has killed two spiders]
Alvy Singer: I did it. I killed 'em both.
[Annie starts crying]
Alvy Singer: What's the matter? What are you sad about? What did you want me to do? Capture 'em and rehabilitate 'em?
Alvy Singer: You know, I don't think I could take a mellow evening because I – I don't respond well to mellow. You know what I mean? I have a tendency to – if I get too mellow, I – I ripen and then rot, you know.
[Alvy is asked to try cocaine]
Alvy Singer: I don't want to put a wad of white powder in my nose. There's the nasal membrane…
Annie Hall: You never want to try anything new, Alvy.
Alvy Singer: How can you say that? Whose idea was it? I said that you, I and that girl from your acting class should sleep together in a threesome.
Annie Hall: Well, that's sick.
Alvy Singer: Yeah, I know it's sick, but it's new. You didn't say it couldn't be sick.
Annie Hall: Alvy, you're incapable of enjoying life, you know that? I mean you're like New York City. You're just this person. You're like this island unto yourself.
Alvy Singer: I can't enjoy anything unless everybody is. If one guy is starving someplace, that puts a crimp in my evening.
Alvy Singer: I remember the staff at our public school. You know, we had a saying, uh, that those who can't do teach, and those who can't teach, teach gym. And, uh, those who couldn't do anything, I think, were assigned to our school.
Alvy Singer: They did not take me in the Army. I was, um, interestingly enough, I was, I was 4-P. Yes. In the, in the event of war, I'm a hostage.
Annie Hall: You're what Grammy Hall would call a real Jew.
Alvy Singer: Oh. Thank you.
Alvy Singer: In 1942 I had already discovered women.
[Young Alvy kisses girl in school]
Alvy's Classmate: Yecch. He kissed me, he kissed me. Yecch.
Miss Reed: That's the second time this month. Step up here.
Alvy at 9: What'd I do?
Miss Reed: Step up here.
Alvy at 9: What did I do?
Miss Reed: You should be ashamed of yourself.
Alvy Singer: Why? I was just expressing a healthy sexual curiosity.
Miss Reed: Six year old boys don't have girls on their minds.
Alvy Singer: I did.
Alvy's Classmate: For God's sake, Alvy, even Freud speaks of a latency period.
Alvy Singer: Well, I never had a latency period. I can't help it.
Alvy Singer: I'm so tired of spending evenings making fake insights with people who work for "Dysentery."
Robin: "Commentary."
Alvy Singer: Oh really? I had heard that "Commentary" and "Dissent" had merged and formed "Dysentery."
Allison: I'm in the midst of doing my thesis.
Alvy Singer: On what?
Allison: Political commitment in twentieth century literature.
Alvy Singer: You, you, you're like New York, Jewish, left-wing, liberal, intellectual, Central Park West, Brandeis University, the socialist summer camps and the, the father with the Ben Shahn drawings, right, and the really, y'know, strike-oriented kind of, red diaper, stop me before I make a complete imbecile of myself.
Allison: No, that was wonderful. I love being reduced to a cultural stereotype.
Alvy Singer: Right, I'm a bigot, I know, but for the left.
Robin: There's Henry Drucker. He has a chair in history at Princeton. Oh, and the short man is Hershel Kaminsky. He has a chair in philosophy at Cornell.
Alvy Singer: Yeah? Two more chairs they got a dining room set.
[last lines]
Alvy Singer: [narrating] After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I… I realized what a terrific person she was, and… and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I… I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this… this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and… but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us… need the eggs.
Alvy Singer: Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat… college.
[Annie's family and Alvy's family converse through a split screen]
Mom Hall: How do you plan to spend the holidays, Mrs. Singer?
Alvy's Mom: We fast.
Dad Hall: Fast?
Alvy's Dad: No food. You know, to atone for our sins.
Mom Hall: What sins? I don't understand.
Alvy's Dad: To tell you the truth, neither do we.
[Alvy fantasizes being in love with the Wicked Queen from Snow White]
Wicked Queen: We never have any fun any more.
Alvy Singer: How can you say that?
Wicked Queen: Why not? You're always leaning on me to improve myself.
Alvy Singer: You're just upset. You must be getting your period.
Wicked Queen: I don't get a period. I'm a cartoon character.
Alvy Singer: Lyndon Johnson is a politician, you know the ethics those guys have. It's like a notch underneath child molester.
[Rob has bailed Alvy out of jail]
Rob: Imagine my surprise when I got your call, Max.
Alvy Singer: Yeah. I had the feeling that I got you at a bad moment. You know, I heard high-pitched squealing.
Rob: Twins, Max! 16 years-old. Can you imagine the mathematical possibilities?
Alvy Singer: [glum] You're an actor, Max. You should be doing Shakespeare in the Park.
Rob: Oh, I did Shakespeare in the Park, Max. I got mugged. I was playing Richard the Second and two guys with leather jackets stole my leotard.
[Alvy and Annie are seeing their therapists at the same time on a split screen]
Alvy Singer's Therapist: How often do you sleep together?
Annie Hall's Therapist: Do you have sex often?
Alvy Singer: [lamenting] Hardly ever. Maybe three times a week.
Annie Hall: [annoyed] Constantly. I'd say three times a week.
[On Pam being a Rosicrucian]
Alvy Singer: I can't get with any religion that advertises in Popular Mechanics.
Alvy Singer: Oh my God, she's right. Why did I turn off Allison Portchnik? She was beautiful, she was willing. She was real intelligent. Is it the old Groucho Marx joke that I'm – I just don't want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member?
Alvy Singer: Hey, Harvard makes mistakes too! Kissinger taught there!
Alvy Singer: I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable.
Doctor in Brooklyn: Why are you depressed, Alvy?
Alvy's Mom: Tell Dr. Flicker.
[Young Alvy sits, his head down – his mother answers for him]
Alvy's Mom: It's something he read.
Doctor in Brooklyn: Something he read, huh?
Alvy at 9: [his head still down] The universe is expanding.
Doctor in Brooklyn: The universe is expanding?
Alvy at 9: Well, the universe is everything, and if it's expanding, someday it will break apart and that would be the end of everything!
Alvy's Mom: What is that your business?
[she turns back to the doctor]
Alvy's Mom: He stopped doing his homework!
Alvy at 9: What's the point?
Alvy's Mom: What has the universe got to do with it? You're here in Brooklyn! Brooklyn is not expanding!
Doctor in Brooklyn: It won't be expanding for billions of years yet, Alvy. And we've gotta try to enjoy ourselves while we're here!
Pam: The only word for this is transplendent… it's transplendent!
Alvy Singer: [the man behind him in line is talking loudly] What I wouldn't give for a large sock with horse manure in it!
Alvy Singer: [to audience] Whaddya do when you get stuck in a movie line with a guy like this behind you?
Man in Theatre Line: Wait a minute, why can't I give my opinion? It's a free country!
Alvy Singer: He can give it… do you have to give it so loud? I mean, aren't you ashamed to pontificate like that? And the funny part of it is, Marshall McLuhan, you don't know anything about Marshall McLuhan!
Man in Theatre Line: Oh, really? Well, it just so happens I teach a class at Columbia called "TV, Media and Culture." So I think my insights into Mr. McLuhan, well, have a great deal of validity!
Alvy Singer: Oh, do ya? Well, that's funny, because I happen to have Mr. McLuhan right here, so, so, yeah, just let me…
[pulls McLuhan out from behind a nearby poster]
Alvy Singer: come over here for a second… tell him!
Marshall McLuhan: I heard what you were saying! You know nothing of my work! You mean my whole fallacy is wrong. How you got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing!
Alvy Singer: Boy, if life were only like this!
Alvy Singer: Sylvia Plath – interesting poetess whose tragic suicide was misinterpreted as romantic by the college girl mentality.
Alvy Singer: Hey listen, gimme a kiss.
Annie Hall: Really?
Alvy Singer: Yeah, why not, because we're just gonna go home later, right, and then there's gonna be all that tension, we've never kissed before and I'll never know when to make the right move or anything. So we'll kiss now and get it over with, and then we'll go eat. We'll digest our food better.

MOVIE REVIEW- Oh, grow up: Raves for 'Little Children'
"From the director of In the Bedroom'" is enough to raise expectations unrealistically high for Little Children. Well, damned if Todd Field's second feature isn't even better than his first.
Field moves into American Beauty territory, both in tone and quality, with this darkly comic drama about goings-on in East Wyndam, Massachusetts. This movie about the things that make men feel alive makes a critic feel alive.
Mournful sounds establish a mood before the opening shot of a house full of chiming clocks and Hummel figurines. We'll find out later who lives there, but first a newscast informs us of the release of a "convicted sex offender" who had been jailed for exposing himself to a minor. A "Committee of Concerned Citizens" has protested the presence of Ronald James McGorvey (Jackie Earle Haley in an Oscar-bait performance), a "dangerous predator in our midst."
He's not allowed near a playground, but we are. There we see four women minding their children. Three are gossiping. The fourth, Sarah (Kate Winslet), considers herself "a researcher observing the behavior of typical suburban women. She was not a typical suburban woman," according to a deep-voiced narrator who might be annoying if he didn't sound like he was reading to us from a really good book.
The conversation changes with the arrival of the man they call "The Prom King." He brought his son to the playground for some time, setting the women's hearts aflutter, then disappeared for months.
Since Sarah's the only one who's indifferent toward Brad (Patrick Wilson), she winds up talking to him, then going so far beyond talking that the other women make her an outcast. Sarah and Brad become obsessed with each other. Their obsession leads to flirtation, then friendship, and finally a full-blown affair.
The point of Little Children is that everyone has their obsessions and perversions. Some are harmless, some harmful to the individual, and some considered harmful to society. Sarah's husband, Richard (Gregg Edelman), is encouraged by learning his next-door neighbor is a transvestite, and Ted (Joe Guest) from work has anonymous sex at highway rest stops.
When Sarah discovers Richard's addiction to the "Slutty Kay" website, it frees her to pursue her outside interests. This in turn gives the former lit major a new understanding of and appreciation for Madame Bovary.
Brad's wife, Kathy (Jennifer Connelly), a documentary filmmaker, has supported him through law school and two attempts to pass the bar, but she keeps him on a short financial leash. As his third bar exam nears, he's supposed to be studying at the library every night, but instead indulges his own obsession: watching teenage skateboarders– not out of sexual interest, as you may first suspect, but a desire to recapture his own youth.
One night Brad runs into an old, not particularly dear friend, Larry Hedges (Noah Emmerich), an ex-cop who's obsessed with protecting the neighborhood from Ronnie the perv. Asked if he's a member of the committee, he replies, "I am the committee." He recruits Brad for a touch football team made up of his police buddies and drags him along when he goes to harass Ronnie.
Ronnie lives with his old mother, May (Phyllis Somerville), who worries what will happen to him when she's gone. She encourages him to date, leading to a surprise-filled evening with Sheila (Jane Adams). Otherwise he keeps to himself, except for a disastrous attempt to use the public pool.
In one awkward bit of narration Brad mentally compares Sarah to Kathy, including his wife's "perfect breasts" vs. Sarah's "boyish" appearance. Winslet may be somewhat deglammed here, but if you've seen any of her other movies, that "boyish" line wouldn't fool you on radio.
That may be the only flaw in the screenplay by director Field and Tom Perrotta, whose novel Little Children was based on. It's a hilarious, heartbreaking look at the state of morality in America today.
It's a little bit too long, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anything that's not too good to cut– unless you're a moralist, in which case you know exactly what should be cut from a "pervert."

Israeli analyst finds continued support for peace process
A large majority of Israeli Jews continue to support peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, but fewer believe those efforts will succeed, an Israeli public-opinion expert said at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School this week.
Tamar Hermann, director of the Tami Steinmetz Center for Peace Research at the Tel Aviv University, which compiles the "Peace Index" measuring Israeli popular opinion, said that almost 70 percent of Israeli Jews believe a separate Palestinian state will exist in the near future.
Most people favor a complete, total separation, effectively putting an "iron wall" between the two states, she said.
"When the Israeli people talk of peace, they are talking of 'negative peace,'" Hermann said. "This, quite simply, is the absence of war and nothing else. No integration of the two states would occur. The public is not blind to the reality of separation, but there is still a great need to discover creative solution to such issues as existing settlements and open borders."
Only Israeli Jews -- about 80 percent of Israel's population -- were sampled for the Peace Index. About 80 percent of those surveyed supported continued negotiations, but only 50 to 60 percent expect them to succeed.
Hermann acknowledged that bombing attacks in Israel this week may have lessened support for peace negotiations among the nation's Jews.

Maybe one thing to consider could be saving the output as a stand alone file
Yes, I was thinking about doing that too. I probably would have already, but I had planed to do the bulk of the work on Sunday afternoon. After fiddling with my network settings around noon I had to wait a while before being able to access the campus network, so I thought I'd play a quick game of Nethack. Wound up being anything but quick. Five hours or so later I finally died, after accumulating a score six times higher than my previous high score. What ultimately led to my demise was accidentally reading a scroll of Destroy Armor, which ruined my +4 robe, thus slashing my defenses and killing my ability to use magic.
Then the day was nearly over.
I'll clean stuff up and set it to output a file tonight, add some formatting to the fancy view, and add a third mode to output the data from the fancy view in a more usable form in case we ever want to set up something like that attachment->repo thing we talked about earlier. Then I'll upload it all to my website so you can play with it and make sure it works.

Test forum with info typed when I wasn't half sleeping over here:
Needs testing and examination before I email it to John.
Notice that the ?view parameter has been renamed ?mode.
This version is also CLI compatible. It can take the mode as a normal parameter, so that it can be used with Cron properly.
Added an option to output to a file. Disabled by default when viewed through the web, but enabled (and always enabled) when run from CLI.
Go ahead and upload as much as you want over there to test it. I'm gonna delete it all when we get done so spam away.
Let me know if there's anything you think needs tweaking. Preferably over here.
Now I go to enjoy sleep time. 'night.

When you see this
[ 1] - puppylinux.ca | puppyfiles | cups-1.1.23-1.pet (1606782)
this file is exactly the same on dotpups.de.
That's true. And yes, MU is still in the process of making package lists for all his directories.
@pizzasgood: Well, it all looks fantastic. I uploaded a new attachment (petch-0.3.pet as it happens), copied the package list over to puppylinux.org and now
petch petch
# petch petch
searching ...
SOURCE | DIRECTORY | FILENAME (size)
[ 1] - browserloadofcoolness.com | | petch_03.pet (1811)
[ 2] - puppylinux.ca | tpp | petch-0.3.pet (1811)
Please type the number of the package you would like to fetch:
Obviously I'll tidy up the formatting -- browserloadofcoolness,com breaks the nice neat columns! Also maybe you could put something useful in that second path entry bit, maybe the thread title or the contributors forum name? That info would fit into the DIRECTORY field.
So what about the HTML fancy view? I imagine the list is going to be gigantomungous (ie long) on the murga forum. Perhaps too long to show on a single page -- i,e. endless page-loading? Maybe the HTML view should require an extra search query argument to filter things down a bit? I guess the XML view is fine as it's not for human eyes.
I wouldn't be surprised though that some unforeseen shenanigans arise once plugged in here at the murga forum, maybe keep it low key for a couple of days testing?
On an aside, one day there will only be petget right? It'll contain petch's code and other goodies that have accumulated over the years in the forum. And we'll take repository organisation and searching into account when re-coding dir2pet, therefore asking who put the pet together, what version of Puppy is it for, and so on. Basically I mean, one day, we're all gonna get together and come up with a complete package management solution, aren't we? Yes

Doh, I should have though about that. Yes, there are several thousand packages on this forum. That would be a long nasty list. In that case, I think I had better just split this thing in two. Have one to create the basic view and XML, and a separate one to do the fancy. Then it can have pagination and searching without worrying about affecting the stability and complexity of the other two modes, which should almost never need modification.
I'll split it out on Tuesday probably, then email the basic/xml version to John and see if he'll add it. I'll probably advise him to set it up so people can't trigger an update over the web to avoid the potential for attacks. I'll work on the fancy view when I get time. I have a largish project for my "Computer Arch and OS" class that I need to start working on this week.
(I'm visiting my grandma and grandpa this weekend, so no working this weekend other than my combinatorics homework, which I finished earlier today).
I'll also change that second field to the user name before I split them.
Yes, I think long-term it would be good to set up a more descriptive repository system and have petch-like functionality built into PetGet.

100 results reached, no more results will be shown.
Please type the number of the package you would like to fetch: ^C
Somebody made the remark that it would be nice to be able to indicate a save to directory, but there is no need for this.
Just open rxvt and go to the folder where you want the package to be downloaded and retrieve it.
Also a remark was made that an uninstall should be nice, but there is no need for it either as petch calls the regular puppy package manager and you can uninstall with it.
Just one thing, when a package is retrieved again, there is no checking if exists already. It's simply overwritten.
Not a disaster for small packages but a waist of time and bandwidth for large downloads. Specially when one is on a dial-up connection.
So here is room for improvement.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
Consult Wikka
Use peppyy's

Post subject: Petch looks promising for puppy
Petch looks promising for puppy. However it would be nice if it can also check dependencies and give the option to also install them in addition to the program of interest.
You may check slitaz install package - http://www.slitaz.org/en/

Hi, tombh,
just a little feedback ...
petch-0.3 pet (5 oct 21:25 french time / puppy 4.1rc-retro live-cd)
- you need to check the nber of files (sources) available and limit the selection (positive nber) to the nber of files found. (info below)
petch *
[ 1] - puppylinux.ca | puppyfiles | 915resolution-0.5.3-static.pet (19206)
[ 2] - puppylinux.ca | puppyfiles | 915resolution-0.5.2.pet (6104)
[ 3] - puppylinux.ca | puppyfiles | 915resolution-0.5.3-static.pet (19181)
[ 4] - ibiblio | pet_packages-2 | 915resolution-0.5.2.pet (6.0K)
[ 5] - ibiblio | pet_packages-4 | 915resolution-0.5.3-static.pet (19K)
[ 6] - ibiblio | pet_packages-3 | 915resolution-0.5.3-static.pet (19K)
- using zero (0) as a choice, petch exits normally (an easy exit)
- using a letter (a, c, x, !, # ) petch exits normally
- using minus one (-1) to minus six (-6) as a choice,
petch really connects and downloads a package on the list !
-1 ... #http://puppylinux.ca/puppyfiles/pet_packages-3/915resolution-0.5.3-static.pet
-2 ... #http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/915resolution-0.5.3-static.pet
- using minus seven (-7), petch does it's thin air thing.
- using plus seven (7) as a choice (over the limits), ok, downloading... done (thin air)
- thin air thing : be really dumb and choose [i] to install ...
find: warning: you have specified the -mount option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-mount affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options before other arguments.

Success ! (package thin air has been installed)

No....neither will it turn your computer on as you're pulling in the driveway. Nor will it cook breakfast for you. It might clean your house for you but I haven't asked that question in the forum yet.
Good luck going on looking.

Potato growers in Oregon and Washington are in wait-and-see mode following a heat wave that hit the Pacific Northwest in July.
"Spring and early summer were excellent," said Bill Brewer, executive director of the Oregon Potato Commission, in late July. "The last two weeks' hot spell across Oregon may reduce potential fall harvest yield."
"The weather conditions were absolutely perfect for the first half of the growing season, warm sunny days and cool nights," said Chris Voigt, executive director of the Washington State Potato Commission. "Then the heat hit. During the first couple weeks of July, we experienced temperatures as high as 108 degrees. The plants just shut down during the day and stop growing. It's still too early to tell how this heat will impact the fall crop."
Looking at the Northwest potato industry on a state-by-state basis, Oregon has a total of 38,000 acres planted to potatoes. Of this total, Brewer said 17 percent is planted to fresh potatoes, and he expects 2014 fresh volume to be comparable to last year's production levels.
"The Klamath area may be down slightly," Brewer stated.
Growers in the Klamath Basin slightly reduced acreage this season as a result of concern about water availability. "They should make it to harvest with adequate water," he went on to say. "But it will be close at the end of season. Far eastern Oregon/Malheur County is extremely short on water. Acres were reduced and moved to locations closer to irrigation water sources. Most of the region will be out or extremely reduced of water by July 31."
While onion production continues in the area, Brewer said there will be no fresh potatoes moving into the pipeline. "Some land was left idle this spring to lengthen season," he commented.
Eighty percent of Oregon's potatoes are marketed outside the state. "We estimate 50 percent are exported internationally," Brewer said about key markets in Canada, Mexico and Korea. "We are continuing to conduct promotions in Vietnam and the Philippines."
Turning to Washington, Ryan Holterhoff, director of marketing and industry affairs for WSPC, said, "The National Agricultural Statistics Service has given their 2014 acreage report and is estimating 165,000 acres planted throughout Washington State this year. We would anticipate that approximately 13-15 percent of that would go to the fresh market."
Holterhoff went on to say, "Consistency is one of the greatest things about the crop in Washington state. Washington state potato growers have the highest yields in the world and historically have averaged around 60,000 pounds per acre. We would anticipate similar results this year as well."
Generally speaking, Voigt said water problems have not affected Washington's potato producers to date. "The majority of our potato crop is irrigated with surface water from the Columbia River," he told The Produce News. "A lot of that water originates in British Columbia, and they experienced a good winter snowpack. Late spring snows in Washington State helped other growing regions in the state. Water supplies haven't been too much of an issue this growing season. But we do continue to see declining water levels in the Odessa aquifer area that is concerning to the Columbia Basin."
Exports are extremely important to Washington's potato producers. "With the favorable location of our fields to Washington State's international transportation ports in the Puget Sound, exports are critical to the yearly success of our state's potato industry," Holterhoff commented. "Over 90 percent of the crop will leave the state with a significant amount of that going internationally.
"Canada represents a very established market, and many of the countries through the Pacific Rim continue to offer great opportunities within that region."

Here's my problem: How do I raise the waste pipe flange sufficiently to reseat the toilet after the new floor is installed? The new floors are about 3/4" higher than the original floor.
I have received conflicting advice. It has been suggested that I use a silicone caulk to attach multiple collars to the waste pipe until it is tall enough. I have also been told to merely use two or three was rings to seal the extra space. What's the real deal?
Thanks for your help!

2012 showed that Eddie Johnson was back to the form that earned him a regular spot with the US National Team from 2004-2008. The Sounders FC forward scored 14 goals in his first year back in MLS since leaving for Europe after the 2007 season and by year's end was back with the US for two crucial FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
Two years to the day since his last appearance with the US National Team, Johnson earned his way back into the squad under Jurgen Klinsmann.
He rewarded the coach with a stellar performance in his first two games last year, closing out the third round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying with two goals against Antigua and Barbuda and an assist against Guatemala on the game-winning goal to clinch advancement to the Hexagonal Round.
His performance in those games, along with his standout MLS season that earned him Comeback Player of the Year honors, has him back with the US National Team in 2013 as they gear up for the hexagonal round in the CONCACAF region's qualifying tournament for the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
"It says a lot about the hard work that we put in and the goals that we set in Seattle. It's a reward for all that hard work and shows that it didn't go unnoticed," said Johnson, who is joined by teammate Brad Evans on the 25-man roster for January camp. "It's an honor whenever you can go into camp and wear your country's shirt. It was a humbling moment and I don't want to take the opportunity for granted."
Johnson has come a long way in the past year. Last year at this time, he was unsure where his MLS path would take him. Then, on February 17, he joined the Sounders in a whirlwind day.
At that point, he was seeking to resurrect his career, trying to get back to the form that saw him score 12 goals with Dallas in 2004 and 15 with Kansas City in 2007.
His departure from that form was accompanied by a move to Europe. He jumped from club to club and lost his spot with the US.
Now, Johnson looks to be a regular in the MLS score column, netting 14 goals for the Sounders last season, and in the US National Team and he sees the call in a different light than he did before 2008.
"It's like anything in life – whenever you're a part of something and then you're no longer a part of it, you start to miss it," he said. "Once you work hard to put yourself back into that position and you're a part of it again, it feels that much more special and more rewarding. I had an opportunity to be a part of the qualifiers and play an important role in getting us to the next round and that's something that I missed. Now I'm back in the mix and I don't want to take it for granted."
Now preparing for his second season with the Sounders, Johnson also sees the National Team camp as a chance to show that 2012 was no fluke.
After joining the club so late in training camp last year, he suffered a pair of setbacks in the form of hamstring strains that delayed the start of his season. Now with the chance to engulf himself in camp two weeks before the Sounders get started, he'll have a running start when he rejoins his club teammates.
He hopes that will help him improve on his start from the 2012 season.
"The expectations are going to be high because I scored goals for club and country, but that's just extra motivation. That's good pressure," he said. "I'm a competitive person and I'm looking forward to the role that I'm going to play next season in Seattle and in this camp."
The US is scheduled to play a friendly against Canada at Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium on January 29 ahead of their qualifying match against Honduras in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, on February 6. The Sounders open training camp on January 21.

License Plates
Sort By:
Race ahead of the competition today with personalized license plates. These items are highly visible and provide a great platform for nearly any marketing campaign. They are also a great way for employees and clients to advertise your company as they drive around town because the effectiveness of these items does not stop when the vehicle is parked in a busy lot. Additionally, many people spend more time in their cars than at their homes, as shuffling children to after school activities, commuting to work, and/or going about their day-to-day commitments typically mandates a high level of mobility. Draw people's attention to your marketing message at traffic signals and major intersections with novelty license plates custom printed with your brand's name, logo, and more. Then just sit back and watch your brand's sales speed away!

Phoenix Suns Cruise to Victory Against Lottomatica RomaThe Phoenix Suns got off to a 13-5 start en route to a 100-93 win over Lottomatica Roma. Could there possibly be an NBA team better suited for the NBA Europe Live Tour than Phoenix? Their coach, Mike D'Antoni, was a legendary player and coach in Italy for many years, and they regularly play a free flowing style based on ball and player movement. D'Antoni even conducted his postgame press conference in Italian, no doubt delighting the locals, though it must have frustrated NBA TV, which provided neither subtitles nor translation.
Phoenix led 27-17 after the first quarter and pushed the margin to 36-22 before a 12-2 Lottomatica run closed the gap to 38-34. The Suns countered with a 16-9 spurt to take a 54-43 lead into intermission. Shawn Marion led Phoenix' attack with 14 points, while ex-Temple Owl David Hawkins had 12 for Lottomatica. Dejan Bodiroga contributed 11 points. Before the game, D'Antoni said, "Bodiroga for years has been the best European player. He's definitely the best European player never to play in the NBA." The Suns built their first half lead largely on the strength of 16-16 free throw shooting and 6-14 three point field goal accuracy; Lottomatica shot 7-11 on free throws and just 2-10 from the three point line.
Hawkins scored four points in a 9-4 run to open the third quarter, as Lottomatica cut the margin to 59-52. Raja Bell answered with a three pointer and a couple possessions later Steve Nash tossed a gorgeous alley oop to Marion, putting Phoenix ahead 64-52. Phoenix extended that to a 78-62 bulge and still led 84-70 going into the fourth quarter.
Phoenix missed a lot of easy shots in the fourth quarter, which is not unexpected for a running team still getting its legs in the early stages of training camp. Lottomatica fought hard throughout the game and battled back to 91-85 but Marion's three point play put Phoenix ahead 94-85. That was the start of a 9-0 run that gave Phoenix a commanding 100-85 advantage with less than two minutes to play; that sealed the outcome in Phoenix' favor, although Lottomatica scored a few baskets in the last minute and a half to make the score look better. Marion finished with 19 points, while Leandro Barbosa and Bell had 18 each. Hawkins had a game-high 22 points and Bodiroga scored 17.
There are some dark clouds in the Valley of the Sun, though. Amare Stoudemire's surgically repaired knee is still not healthy enough for him to resume a full practice schedule and now his other knee is bothering him as well. NBA TV reported that he may not be back in the lineup until January. We can only hope that his career is not heading in the same direction as fellow microfracture surgery alums Penny Hardaway and Allan Houston.

Obviously, www.samurai-archives.com is a good one for info on famous samurai.
A good samurai site with lots of images. It's in French, but a little babelfish should solve that. http://samourais.free.fr/S_Plan.html
http://horse.shrine.net/index.html has some excellent and stylized samurai artwork.
