"Oye compay, que semana": We talk Cuba with Jorge Ponce!
Jorge Ponce and I looked back at this big "semana" of Cuba news.
It started with the handshake, talk of Dr Gross, calls for lifting the embargo, to more of Alberto's posts about human rights violations in the island.
Even Elian made the news this week. Wonder if someone told Elian that his mother died to bring him to the US?
It was quite a week! We spoke with Jorge Ponce about it.

Demi Lovato dedicates 'Made In The USA' music video to troops
Demi Lovato seeks to tell a true American love story in her new music video for "Made In The USA." The beautifully shot video clearly draws its inspiration from Nicholas Sparks novels, but has a much happier ending than his books usually do.
Do the two leads in the video look familiar? They should, because they're "Friday Night Lights'" Aimee Teegarden and "90210's" Dustin Milligan. Lovato co-directed the video as well.
"I'm SO happy you guys love my video!!!! This was such an incredible experience co-directing.. Glad you guys are happy with it!!!" Lovato tweets. "I dedicate my video to all of the troops, anyone who has passed away over seas and to this INCREDIBLE country that I'm so thankful 4.."
What do you think of Lovato's new video?

Weekend Updates
After brunch I met my husband in the Village and we headed to the baby boutique Doodles to look at the glider we were contemplating for our nursery. If you remember from a post a few weeks ago, this is the one we were looking at:
27 comments :
I like the glider, and agree with you, $600 for an ottoman is crazy! Make sure you keep your receipts for clothes -- my niece was bigger than average until she was about eighteen months old, so some of the seasonal things I'd bought for her way in advance didn't work. I can't believe you're putting your warmer clothes up and I'm so jealous -- we've had yoyo weather here in NC for the last few weeks -- ice last Friday, 70+ degrees on Wednesday, then back down in the 30s on Friday. I hope that groundhog was right today!ReplyDelete
@sarah---I am keeping ALL of my receipts and keeping most tags on too! :) I will only wash and de-tag newborn sized items. :)ReplyDelete
We still have some cool days here in Houston but overall it hasn't been cold and the next few weeks should warm up even more, I'm hoping! :)
I love the items you've brought for your baby. And the bib that was made and sent to you is amazing! Such lovely things! I am also buying lots of baby things in bigger sizes and being mindful of the seasons. XReplyDelete
Have you checked out Kohl's for baby clothes? I buy most of my son's clothing there now. They carry a lot of what Carter's carries in their stores, but there is always some sort of sale or another plus coupons. I generally get each piece of his for under $4 each. Not fantastic, but definitely cheaper than most other stores that carry baby clothing, and he outgrows them so quickly that I don't mind spending $3 and change for a onesie or a pair of pants that will fit for a month or two or that might get ruined by a blowout or something.ReplyDelete
Oh, and I just read your comment about only washing and de-tagging newborn sized clothing. I would suggest not doing that, either, at least not until you are further along in your pregnancy and get an estimate of how big your baby might be. My son never fit into any newborn-sized clothing. The NICU had him in the same two or three outfits that they had to keep washing because they had such a limited supply of 0-3! He was in 6 month sizes by the time he was 3 months. Now he is only 9.5 months and has been in 18 month for a while. You never know!ReplyDelete
Ahhh, What cute stuff!ReplyDelete
Weekend brunch with a friend is one of my favorite things to do. Banana walnut pancakes is what I always get.ReplyDelete
I LOVE that bathing suit. So adorable. I want one in MY size. :)
a $600 ottoman wow!!ReplyDelete
cute photos and lovely outfit
I love Carter's but just an FYI they run small. They're sleepers and onesies are wonderful though. They really do hold up to constant washing so much better than other brands!ReplyDelete
Just an FYI Carter's does run smaller than other brands. If your daughter is 8lbs or more it's likely she'll skip their newborn size. However, their sleepers and onesies do hold up through constant Washington without pilling so much better than other brands!ReplyDelete
haha i wonder how many of these ottmans they actually sell....crazy!ReplyDelete
Just wondering how your gym routine is coming along. Are you still super exhausted?
Sweet Paris sounds great! I wish we had beautiful little eateries where I live. We have lots of chain restuarants ;(ReplyDelete
Love the things you have picked out so far for the baby. You have such classic taste!
@andrea--- I have not been working out at all--I just walk and I clean the house still which is a little bit of a workout :)ReplyDelete
Thinking of the glider after baby (aka in a reading nook or nap nook) is exactly what we did. They are so comfy even after you don't need them for baby. :)ReplyDelete
Looking beautiful!
xo Lulu
I cannot wait to see your nursery!ReplyDelete
The bathing suit is too cute for words!ReplyDelete
The ottoman look super comfy!ReplyDelete
I've got a question: how long is your necklace with the Return to Tiffany heart?
@anna- I am not sure because I am not using the original chain it came withReplyDelete
Can't wait to see you guys welcome your baby girl! That little bathing suit... too adorable for words!ReplyDelete
You will LOVE using the muslin blankets for so much more than swaddling. I actually use the halo sleep sacks to swaddle, and the muslin blankets around the house, and as burp cloths sometimes!ReplyDelete
I added you in my blogroll on my new blog- is that ok?
Hi! I am new to your blog and am really liking it! I was always a size 2/4 before I had my son and now I am a size 6 with some hips :) I am wondering what your size is pre-pregnancy for reference reasons when you post your outfits and for when I go back in your archives :) THANKS!ReplyDelete
@uknown- I usually wear a 4 in pants and skirts. Some of my J.Crew pencil skirts (the wool ones) are a size 2. Other than that for dresses and stuff I wear smalls and mediums usually. I have some items in my closet that are a size 6 too.ReplyDelete
Your baby will definitely be a stylish hot baby! I love your OOTD photos and all your hauls. God bless you on your delivery :) You'll make a lovely mom.ReplyDelete
That is so cute! Do you happen to know the brand of the glider? My husband and I have been shopping around (currently I'm 27 weeks!) and we've found one good Little Castle glider (you can customize the fabric), but I'm always curious of other people's finds. Thanks!ReplyDelete
My SIL has the exact glider you posted and opted for a mismatched ottoman as well. The glider is so comfy! I'm sure you'll love sitting in it with baby girl!ReplyDelete
Hi, I went through your this post and found really interesting. I landed this page through internet search and foundReplyDelete
this page very good.I am a web designer and works in a web design company
as a designer I liked the color of your blog also.
I just wanted to add that everyone told me my baby would grow so fast. She is now 8 months and just hit 16 pounds. She was in newborn clothes for almost a month before she hit the 0-3 month clothes and stayed in them until 3.5 months. She wore GAP skinny baby jeans in 3-6 month size until 7.5 months.ReplyDelete
She was born on May 25, so she was a sumer baby! she wore bathing suits, dresses and just the onesies. Trust me - buy a few dresses in the newborn or 0-3 month size for when you leave the house. Its the cutest!
I was lucky that I bought an under 7lb outfit for her coming home from the hospital. She was still swimming in that! My husband and I were both 7-8lb babies so I didnt expect to have a 6lb girl who didn't have a big growth spurt, but it happens.
ps-the carters precious first onesies at target are the best for the first months, in my opinion. really soft and comfy and fit perfect plus they come in a 3 pack. GAP clothes tend to run a bit bigger.

Talk:VoidCon Meeting 2
I deleted the remark about money being stolen from the building, because it doesn't really have to with voidcon. I went off topic when I mentioned that.
Is there some plan laid out the get the BBQs created from raw metal and some welding equipement? I have heard someone offer 2 profi bbqs for rent, that won't take up space after the VoidCon has finished... --Ivom 22:32, 27 April 2011 (CEST)
As far as i know, Stefan was to be the supplier of raw materials (the barrels, as i remember) and some welding material. He also has a location where we could do some welding as well. The making of the grates, being manufactured out of inox, that's another thing. I don't have info about that.(yet) I'll mail Stefan about this and ask when we can come to visit him. I'll keep you posted. --Tom 08:11, 28 April 2011 (CEST)

A Rose window (or Catherine window) is often used as a generic term applied to a circular window, but is especially used for those found in churches of the Gothic architectural style and being divided into segments by stone mullions and tracery. The name "rose window" was not used before the 17th century and according to the Oxford English Dictionary, among other authorities, comes from the English flower name rose.
The term "wheel window" is often applied to a window divided by simple spokes radiating from a central boss or opening, while the term "rose window" is reserved for those windows of more complex design which can be seen to bear similarity to a multi-petalled rose. A circular window without tracery, such as are found in many Italian churches, is referred to as an ocular window or oculus.
Rose windows are particularly characteristic of Gothic architecture and may be seen in all the major Gothic Cathedrals of Northern France. Their origins are much earlier and rose windows may be seen in various forms throughout the Medieval period. Their popularity was revived, with other medieval features, during the Gothic revival of the 19th century so that they are seen in Christian churches all over the world.
In Early Christian and Byzantine architecture, there are examples of the use of circular oculi. They usually occur either around the drum of a dome, as at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, or high in the end of a gable of low-pitched Classical pediment form, as at Sant'Agnese fuori le mura, Rome, and Torcello Cathedral.
A window of the 8th century, now located in Venice, and carved from a single slab, has alternating tracery-like components of two tiers of four lancets separated by three oculi. Many semi-circular windows with pierced tracery exist from the sixth to 8th century, and later in Greece.
Small circular windows such as that at S. Agnese and Torcello as well as unglazed decorative circular recesses continued to be used in churches in Italy, gaining increasing popularity in the later Romanesque period.
Another factor may have come to bear on their popularity and development, as suggested by the German art historian Otto von Simson, who considered the origin of the rose window to lie in the six lobed rosettes and octagon window which adorned the external wall of the Umayyad palace Khirbat al-Mafjar built in Jordan between 740 and 750 CE. The theory suggests that crusaders brought the design of this attractive window to Europe, introducing it to churches.
In another of these churches, San Miguel de Lillo, is the earliest known example of an axially-placed oculus with tracery. Several such windows of different sizes exist, and decoration of both Greek Cross and scalloped petal-like form occur, prefiguring both wheel and rose windows.
In Germany, Worms Cathedral, has wheel windows in the pedimental ends of its nave and gables, very similar to the Early Christian Basilica of S. Agnese in Rome. The apsidal western end has a central wheel window with smaller oculi in each face. Speyer Cathedral has a wheel window set within a square in its façade. The Church of the Apostles, Cologne has an array of both ocular and lobed windows forming decorative features in the gables and beneath the Rhenish Helm spire. The octagonal dome has a ring of oculi with two in each of the curved faces.
In Trebic, Czech Republic, is the 12th and 13th century Romanesque style Basilica of St Procopius with apsidal windows similar to those at Worms, but in this case the openings are filled with tracery of a Gothic form, clearly marking the transition to a new style.
In Italy, the use of circular motifs in various media was a feature of church facades, occurring on Early Christian, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, a well know example being those great circles in polychrome marble which complement the central circular window on Alberti's Early Renaissance façade at Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Oculi were also typically used in the drums supporting domes and as upper lights in octagonal baptisteries such as that at Cremona.
Romanesque facades with oculi include San Miniato al Monte, Florence, 11th century, San Michele, Pavia, c. 1117, and Pistoia Cathedral, 1150. As the windows increased in size in the later Romanesque period, wheel windows became a standard feature of which there are fine examples at San Zeno Maggiore, Verona and Monza Cathedral.
On the Romanesque façade of Spoleto Cathedral there is a profusion of recessed and traceried oculi surrounding the central features of a rose window set within a square beneath a large mosaic of 1207.
In England there exist five Romanesque wheel windows, notably those at Barfreston and Castle Hedingham parish churches.
The transition from the Romanesque style to the Gothic was not clear cut, even at the Abbey of St Denis, to the north of Paris, where the Abbot Suger, between 1130 and 1144, gathered the various newly-emerging features of Gothic into a single building, thereby "creating" the Gothic style.
Suger's original rose window in the prototype Gothic façade of St Denis probably pre-dates many of the remaining circular windows in Romanesque buildings such as those in England, at Trebic and Spoleto and that in the façade at Speyer.
Suger's window was not distinctively Gothic in its appearance. It no longer has its original form, but a mid-19th century drawing by the restorer Viollet-le-Duc indicates that it had a very large ocular space at the centre, the glass supported by an iron hoop, and surrounded by simple semi-circular cusped lobes cut out of flat stone in a technique known as "plate tracery". The window now has Gothic tracery in it, possibly added by Viollet-le-Duc who was very concerned about the lack of stability of the whole façade, and having restored the towers, was impelled to demolish the northern one when it suddenly subsided.
Along with the simple wheel windows of the late Norman period in England, Germany and Italy, a large late 12th century window still exists at Chartres Cathedral. This remarkable window combines a large rondel at the centre with the radiating spokes of a wheel window, surrounded by a ring of smaller "plate tracery" lights with scalloped borders. The window, depicting the Last Judgement, contains its original scheme of glazing and retains much of the original glass of 1215, despite suffering damage during World War II.
Following the west window of Chartres, more daring Gothic windows were created at Mantes Cathedral and in the dynamically sculptural facade of Laon Cathedral. These windows have large lights contained in tracery of a semi-circular form, like overlapping petals.
The window that is central to the well-known Gothic façade of Notre Dame, Paris, is of more distinctly Gothic appearance, with mullions in two bands radiating from a central rondel, each terminating in pointed arches. It was this window, completed about 1225, that set the pattern for many other rose window including those of the transepts at St Denis and the gigantic and complex window in the south transept at Notre Dame.
At Chartres, the transepts roses follow the style of the original 12th century rose, elaborating on the theme of contrasting forms. The south rose combines the wheel with circles and semi-circles, while the north rose introduces square lights which, rotating around the centre, are all set at different angles, creating a kaleidoscopic effect of great energy.
In the facades of St Denis, Chartres, Mantes, Laon and Paris, the rose was put under a circular arch. The next important development in its use for the Gothic style was to put it under a pointed arch, as was done in the Notre-Dame de Reims (1230), in the transepts as well as in the later roses of the facade. This form probably stemmed from the now destroyed St Nicaise, also in Reims.
The rose window was often placed above a row of vertical lights as the apex of the composition, the small corner "spandrels" between the rose and lower tier being filled by smaller lights of rose form, as in the transepts of St Denis and Notre Dame.
The last step in evolution of the Gothic style was to set the rose into a tier of vertical lights, of staggered height and surmount it by a tapering pointed light so that it became the centre of a vast window composition, covering the whole end of the transepts, as in Rouen or Beauvais Cathedrals. This sort of elaborate composition can also be seen at the east end of Milan Cathedral.
Rose windows were also set into square windows, the spandrels being pierced and filled with smaller lights as at Paris, 1257, or unpierced with sculpture, the form more common in Italy as at Spoleto and also seen in the north transept of Westminster Abbey and at Strasbourg Cathedral, (see pictured above).
Rose windows with pierced openings rather than tracery occur in the transition between Romanesque and Gothic, particularly in France and most notably at Chartres. The most notable example in England is the north transept window, known as the "Dean's Eye" in Lincoln Cathedral. These windows are occasionally found in 19th century Revival buildings.
In Gothic cathedrals and churches, where a rose is often found above the West Door, the most common subject of the stained glass that it contains is the Last Judgement, which by a long tradition is depicted either in mural or glass on the western wall of the building. In such windows Christ is shown seated in the centre "light" and within the lights around him are the symbols of the four Gospel writers, Apostles, Prophets, Saints and Angels. Some windows show God's dominion over Heaven and Earth by including Zodiacal signs and Labours of the Months.
When rose windows are used in the transept ends, then one of those windows is frequently dedicated to Mary as the Mother of Jesus. In modern Catholic thought, the rose window is often associated with the Virgin Mary because one of her titles, referred to by St Bernard of Clairvaux, is the "Mystical Rose". However, the specific association of Mary with the rose window is unlikely during the Mediaeval period, because the term "rose window" was not coined until the 17th century, a time when few such windows were being constructed. However, in the 19th and 20th centuries, with the revival of the Gothic style much stained glass installed in rose windows, both in new churches and as restoration in old churches, was dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
In England, the use of the rose window was commonly confined to the transepts although roses of great span were constructed in the west front of Byland Abbey and in the east front of Old St. Paul's Cathedral in London and they have been used in this way too for local churches and chapels.
Medieval rose windows occur at the cathedrals of York, Lincoln, Canterbury, Durham and Oxford.
Mediaeval Beverley Minster has a fine example of an Early Gothic wheel window with ten spokes, each light terminating in a cusped trefoils and surrounded by decorative plate tracery.
Later windows are to be seen at the nondenominational Abney Park Chapel in London designed in 1838-40 by William Hosking FSA; Holy Trinity Church, Barnes, London; St Nicholas, Richmond; and St Albans Cathedral by George Gilbert Scott.
At Christ Church Appleton-le-Moors, Yorkshire, the 19th century architect J.L.Pearson appears to have taken as his inspiration the regional floral symbol of the white rose. This unusual plate-tracery window dating from the 1860s has been designed with five double sections like the two-part petals of a simple rose.
France has a great number of medieval rose windows, many containing ancient glass. In northern France, a rose window is usually the central feature of the facade. The transept facades commonly contain rose windows as well. Examples can be seen at Notre Dame, Paris (see left), the Basilica of Saint Denis (see left), Chartres Cathedral (see above), Reims Cathedral, Amiens Cathedral and Strasbourg Cathedral (see introductory pictures.)
The largest rose window in the United States, is the The Great Rose Window, above the main doors of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. It is in the Gothic Revival style and made from more than 10,000 pieces of stained glass.
Washington National Cathedral has three large rose windows of which the 20th century stained glass represents the Creation, Last Judgement and Glory of God.
In 1954, the French artist Henri Matisse created the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Memorial Rose Window on the east wall of the Union Church of Pocantico Hills, New York.

Workington road will close for resurfacing
Last updated at 15:46, Friday, 07 March 2014
Roadworks which will close part of a main route through Workington are set to start on Monday.
A 675-yard section of Mossbay Road and Solway Road is due to shut for resurfacing.
Improvements will also be made to traffic islands.
Traffic will be diverted via Lillyhall.
Pedestrians and dismounted cyclists will be able to get through at all times.
A council spokesman said access to Asda in Moss Bay would be maintained throughout the work, with access to nearby properties available except when large scale works are taking place.
Meanwhile, a £925,000 scheme will also be carried out on the town's Cockfield Drive in Westfield, from Monday for Northern Gas Networks to replace about five miles of ageing metal gas mains.
Engineers will replace them with plastic pipes and it is expected the work will take about three months.
Shops and businesses will remain open as usual and every effort will be made to minimise any disruption to residents, businesses and motorists.
Barry Watson, of Northern Gas Networks, said: "We have planned our work closely with Cumbria County Council, to minimise disruption to both residents and motorists.
"In advance of the work taking place, a letter has been sent to local residents."

The Cannibals
Film runs
Sun, Aug 10
Mon, Aug 11
The Cannibals
Os Canibais | Manoel de Oliveira, 1988
Portugal | Portuguese with English subtitles | Format: 35mm | 99 minutes
A sui generis marriage of opera and cannibalism, this film (on which Pinto worked in the sound department) sets out to turn opera on its head, just as Oliveira had done with theater in earlier films like 1986's My Case (which Pinto also did the sound for). When high-society Marguerite marries an aristocratic viscount despite the protestations of her plot-hatching ex-lover, Don Juan, mounting tensions boil over in truly bizarre fashion as Marguerite's new husband reveals an unbelievable secret. A work that initially presents a veneer of stately respectability before racing off in strange and hilarious directions, The Cannibals is among Oliveira's most underrated and entertaining films.

Classical Rhetoric and Modern Public Relations
An Isocratean Model
By Charles Marsh
Routledge – 2013 – 208 pages
Routledge – 2013 – 208 pages
This book expands the theoretical foundations of modern public relations, a growing young profession that lacked even a name until the twentieth century. As the discipline seeks guiding theories and paradigms, rhetorics both ancient and modern have proven to be fruitful fields of exploration. Charles Marsh presents Isocratean rhetoric as an instructive antecedent. Isocrates was praised by Cicero and Quintilian as "the master of all rhetoricians," favored over Plato and Aristotle.
By delineating the strategic value of Isocratean rhetoric to modern public relations, Marsh addresses the call for research into the philosophical, theoretical, and ethical origins of the field. He also addresses the call among scholars of classical rhetoric for modern relevance. Because Isocrates maintained that stable relationships must solicit and honor dissent, Marsh analyzes both historic and contemporary challenges to Isocratean rhetoric. He then moves forward to establish the modern applications of Isocrates in persuasion, education, strategic planning, new media, postmodern practices, and paradigms such as excellence theory, communitarianism, fully functioning society theory, and reflection.

Steve Foran headed to Iraq in January for risky but lucrative work as a truck driver, running a fuel tanker on dangerous highways with a soldier riding shotgun and hopes of banking $60,000 or more for the year.
But now he thinks he has found an Iraqi payday that could dwarf his Halliburton contract.
Like thousands of other U.S. contractors and troops -- and stateside Americans drawn by Web pitches from newborn businesses with names like BetOnIraq.com -- Foran is taking a chance on the new Iraqi dinar.

I came across this set of bookends the other day when I was visiting my local antique/junk store.
The asking price was $50 for the pair. The owner informed me that the man who makes them buys up old treadle sewing machines just to make book ends out of the sewing heads and decorator tables out of the cabinets. I was stunned and amazed. And I just can't make up my mind……
Are they –
- A waste of an antique Singer sewing machine head?
- Just plain old-fashion gauche bookends?
- Or really charming in the sewing room and I just can't see it?
What do you think?

2 Responses to "Obama: "The people down in New Orleans they don't care about as much!""
tom beebe st louis on October 9th, 2012 at 2:01 pm
It is a public record that Obama as a senator voted to give New Orleans a waiver from the Stafford Act, (a waiver NOLA DID receive) just as NYC and Florida has received. AND Obama did that BEFORE giving this speech about New Orleans being denied such relief. LIAR!!!!
Joseph Blough on October 27th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
Obama stated that he learned that (in Jesus) "my sins can be redeemed". What? No body with any understanding of faith in Christ would say such a thing. Your SOUL can be redeemed by faith in Christ, but your sins are forgiven, not redeemed. Was this a slip of the tongue? I doubt it. I maintain that Obama is not and never was a believer in Christ. He does not talk like a believer nor does he act like one. He doesn't seem to have to most basic understanding of Christian doctrine. He seems to know more than enough about Islam, however. Odd.

Rodong Sinmun Denounces U.S.-Japan-S. Korea Confab against DPRK
|Pyongyang, April 13 (KCNA) -- Some days ago, the chief negotiators of the U.S., Japan and south Korea for six-party talks met in Washington to discuss "decisive sanctions" against the DPRK by the UN Security Council in case of an "additional provocation" from the DPRK, talking about "its threat of 4th nuclear test" and "missile provocation".
Rodong Sinmun comments on this on Sunday:
It is a criminal conspiracy to deprive the DPRK of its sovereign right through international sanctions and military pressure and isolate and stifle it at any cost.
It is quite natural for the DPRK to take self-defensive countermeasures including beefing up of nuclear deterrence to protect the country and socialism and defend peace on the Korean peninsula from the U.S.-south Korean puppet forces' evermore escalating war moves against the DPRK.
The "tripartite dialogue" of the U.S., Japan and south Korean authorities who threatened to slap sanctions against the DPRK, labeling the DPRK's just cause for defending its sovereignty as a "provocation," is an unpardonable challenge to it and a dangerous adventure leading the situation on the Korean peninsula to an uncontrollable catastrophe.
The U.S. and south Korean puppet forces will be held wholly accountable for the disastrous consequences to be entailed by their reckless act against the DPRK.

CJ Gable – The Best Kept Secret
How strong do you have to be to be a RB in FBS? How tough must you be to attend a school that produced Heisman trophy award winners, OJ Simpson and Marcus Allen? If that wasn't enough, how determined do you have to be to overcome an early injury, mid–career coaching change and sanctions that will prevent you from playing in possibly 2 bowl games?
Tough as nails, stubborn as an ox and as skilled as CJ Gable.
Gable sat with me after working out with his old team. Instead of wallowing in his own distraught from the lack of media recognition, or stewing in the uncertainty with the NFL labor talks, Gable continues to go to work. He continues to practice with his former team as they prepare for their Spring game.
"I'm training everyday", he explained after both a field and weight workout, "keeping in shape…not trying to fall out of the system".
And what a system it is.
He went from being the first freshman ever to start in the Trojans' backfield (neither Bush, Simpson nor Allen accomplish this) to virtually being an unknown in just a few years.
This "system" has him as a project free agent, who will "fight for a roster spot".
Gable doesn't want to fall out of this system, but will not allow it to discourage him.
"I questioned myself a little. But when I focused on me, I quickly got out of that. I knew that I was the best and my work will speak for itself."
Gable's freshman campaign was magical. As a first-year freshman in 2006, he was spectacular as a tailback and kickoff returner. He started 5 games and was USC's rushing leader in 4 of them. While appearing in all 13 games, he had 434 yards (3rd on the team), averaged 4 yards per carry with 4 TDs. He added 9 receptions for 90 yards and averaged 27 yards per kickoff return. He was second in Pac-10 in kickoff return yardage. He made 2006 Rivals.com Freshman All-American second team (as a kickoff returner), The Sporting News Freshman All-American honorable mention (as a tailback and kickoff returner), All-Pac-10 honorable mention (as a kickoff returner) and The Sporting News Pac-10 All-Freshman first team (as a tailback and kickoff returner).
He continued racking up fantastic numbers (11 yards per carry) until the 3rd game of the 2007 season where he was forced to have season-ending surgery on a strained abdomen.
"Man, it was hard", Gable reminisces about the injury, ""I'm a competitor…
I did what I had to do to get back on the field."
And Gable roared back in 2008. He started 11 games, rushed for over 600 yards, while averaging 6 yards per carry. He had 10 total TDs – 8 rushing, 1 receiving and another one on a 93 yard kickoff return.
After such a successful '08 campaign, the 2009 season was a trying one. In his junior year, Gable was amidst an extremely talented and equally crowded backfield.
The 2009 season also marked the end of a coaching era when Pete Carroll left USC for the NFL. He had always kept a crowded, yet talented backfield and spread the carries around. The result was a system that did not feature or illuminate one single back, while at the same time, not fully utilizing the backfield's explosive potential.
CJ Gable was amongst this frustrating system. Instead of accepting this frustration and allowing it to affect his play, he chose to learn from it:
"All the tailbacks knew we could have gone to any school and been the main guy. But we came here to be part of a winning team. It makes it worth it when you win Pac-10 titles and go to the Rose Bowl all the time. We all contributed. Everybody put in his part."
His role was diminished and saw limited action, but still manage to average 4 yards per carry, while leading all USC players with 18 yards per kickoff return.
The 2010 season looked much like the prior. He got less looks, carries and attention, but decided to take a very professional approach to it:
"It was rough….not as much playing time as I wanted….instead of complaining about it, I ¬went hard because I didn't know when I was gonna get another chance."
He went hard every play. After having a team-high 13 carries for 72 yards deep into the fourth quarter in the game against Cal, Gable went down on what was considered a season sending knee injury.
"I was getting my opportunity to get out there, and then that happened. I was determined to not let it keep me down."
His character was noted by head coach Lane Kiffin, "what a great kid," Kiffin said, "he walked by and said, 'Coach, I'm sorry I didn't finish today'… that says a lot about what kind of person he is.".
He is the determined and hard-working kind of person.
At what was once considered a season ending injury, Gable endured and fought back to appear in the Oregon game the next week, and for every game the rest of the season.
The season and Gable's USC career ended rather quietly. For someone whom Scout.com toted as, "Carroll's Diamond in the Rough", his prolonged underuse made him a virtual unknown.
Supremely skilled as a dynamic running back with reliable hands and an explosive kickoff returner, Gable had a solid performance at his Pro Day.
"I gave my all", he explains, "I felt great and performed well all around. The 1-on-1 with the coaches was great and I caught everything they threw at me.".
Gable professionally took all his trials and setbacks and really learned from them. A new coaching staff provided more challenging expectations, which he picked up immediately.
"The system demanded more details and better execution. My RB coach taught me how to read the play, rather than just go through holes…to know our escape routes and what our linemen are doing…to know everything before going out there."
Through the new USC coaching regime, Gable learned what he needed to improve both on the field and in the classroom.
"I'm better at reading plays…when to cut back and when to use other moves and when to hit the hole. I can read defenses now. There are more tempo in my runs and I can set up my runs and my blocks."
Gable's overall journey has prepared him for the NFL. He enjoyed an outstanding freshman season, suffered a crushing injury, accepted a reduced role, adjusted to a new coaching staff and is currently experiencing little to no press. As he once was referred to as "The People's Choice" and had the USC faithful chanting his name, Gable has taken being "under the radar" quite well.
He shrugs off the notion of being snubbed by the media and noted that, "there are lots of RBs that can do a lot, but get no press."
This lack of press will in no doubt, allow Gable to be the Steal of the Draft. An NFL team will get a fast (4.5), shifty RB that will find holes and make guys miss. He has exceptional hands and is very experienced in catching the ball. He can contribute in the return game, as he is an explosive kick returner who will always find daylight (averaged 21.5 yards per kickoff return while at USC).
If it's his skills at a variety of positions that will land him on a NFL roster, his determination and work ethic will get his last name printed on a back of a jersey. He put on over 10lbs of solid muscle from his freshman year, while still maintaining his speed. He used this extra strength to do what he loves the best, blocking.
As most RBs dread pass blocking, Gable embraces it, "I love going against bigger guys and hitting them in the mouth! I love hitting; during practice I go up against defensive linemen. I love the contact and competition.".
If CJ Gable's name is not in a many circles as it should be, it doesn't faze him one bit. "I don't care what people say, I'm gonna do what I gotta do to get there and stay there, because an NFL team that signs me will get a determined player that's not gonna back down and will fight and compete".
The secret will be out soon enough.

Customer service, as we know it, is dead. Patience, as we know it, is dead. Social networks in general, and Twitter in particular, killed them. This is news that affects you as a brand – affects you more than you can imagine.
I manage JustUnfollow's Twitter account and we run a weekly #JUQOW (JustUnfollow Question Of The Week) campaign, wherein I ask our over 715,000 followers one question every week. Our most recent #JUQOW asked users whether they had used Twitter to contact brands. If yes, did they hear back? They answer to the first question was an unanimous yes, while the second one tottered between yes and no.
You can't have a presence on Twitter and not expect to encounter people asking you to answer their questions and issues about your service. Twitter and its propensity of allowing people to connect in real time, to contact in real time and to receive responses to their queries in real time, has changed the way brands, big and small alike, interact with their customers.
Despite the fact that Twitter's customer service potential is no longer a potential, but a reality – one that is thrust on you, it is surprising that so many brands choose to ignore it.
Your Customers Have Strong Opinions And They Aren't Afraid To Voice Them
Recommended for YouWebcast: Answers to the Top 10 Email Marketing Questions
If you are responding and interacting with your current and prospective customers, be prepared to be loved:
If not, they wouldn't mind swearing at you:
They Are Talking About You, Make Them Talk With You
People are talking about your brand on Twitter. Don't have a Twitter account? They'll talk nevertheless. They are also taking their complaints and issues with your service to their twitter followers. This is something you want to address immediately, not something you can let get blown out of proportion. Also, twitter users have long memories – as this brand found out:
What is your brand's twitter account like? Do you only tweet and tweet, using your profile as an advertisement or bulletin board? Then you are missing out on the whole point of twitter – which by definition is a social 'networking' platform. You don't want to miss out on the huge opportunity it presents to let you get in touch with your customers. Besides, you don't really want to be on the receiving end of a social media backlash, do you?
How To Increase Brand Loyalty And Become Your Customers' Favorite Brand
A quick reply, a hello, a mention from a brand means a lot to people. It sends them over the moon, they retweet it and are incredibly happy.
If you are proactive in engaging with your customers and prospective customers, you will not only build a brand following on twitter, ROI from social media will no longer sound like a myth.
Some Reputation Management Tips
- Reply to tweets mentioning your brand as soon as possible, preferably within minutes, but latest within a day
- Reply to the good and the bad. Brands, when they get good feedback constantly, tend to take them for granted. Don't. Reply back and you'll make your already happy customer happier. There are some that think ignoring bad feedback will make it go away. Do not take the ostrich approach, respond to bad feedback sooner than you do the good one. The bad feedback is what will actually tell you what's wrong with your product, the cribbers are the ones who'll get you to improve. They are important and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
- Don't restrict your tweets to responses – use your twitter account also to proactively interact with your twitter followers. Tell them about your latest happenings, ask them for feedback.
- Ensure that your tweets encourage interaction – ask questions that will get responses (the way we do with #JUQOW), share nice quotes and jokes that will get you retweets and exposure.
- Keep your DM line open too. Don't be afraid to follow your followers back, especially when they ask for it. Following your followers back will open the DM line of communication, and the more lines of communication you have the better.
- Teach your social media staff how they can respond to issues. If they know the asnwers and can reply directly, well and good. If they can't, teach them to direct those tweets to the right person. For instance, on JustUnfollow's Twitter we direct the highly technical questions that I cannot answer to be emailed to our support inbox.
- Respond to the inane tweets too. You never know how loyal those tweeps have been.
- Surprise your customers on Twitter occasionally. Hold giveaways or small contests.
