Preview - Doncaster vs Swansea City
Paulo Sousa says it'll be easy picking his team for tonight's game away at Doncaster Rovers because he doesn't have many players to choose from.
The Swansea City boss had Leon Britton, Andrea Orlandi and Cedric Van Der Gun missing for Saturday's win at home to Sheffield United and his injury problems have got worse with the news that Ferrie Bodde will miss the rest of the season.
Jordi Lopez and Nathan Dyer will both serve a one-match ban tonight as they each picked up two bookings and got sent off on Saturday.
Fede Bessone also suffered an injury on the weekend and was forced off the pitch during the game. Ashley Williams moved into a defensive midfield role as Alan Tate moved into to centre back. If Bessone or Painter don't return from injury, Williams will return to defence.
In Midfield, Besian Idrizaj will be pushing for a start after scoring 4 goals in 2 Reserves games recently.
Tom Butler should replace Nathan Dyer on the right wing with Mark Gower likely to keep his place on the opposite flank.
Lee Trundle may also start in attacking midfield to fill in the gaps.
Paulo Sousa told the Official site about tonight's game:
'It should make it easier to pick the side because I've only got so many players left,''
'But that's the reality of the situation. We've got to live with it, get on with it and do our best.
'We got what we deserved against Sheffield United - three points - and we are confident in ourselves to get another three points at Doncaster.
'The winning mentality we showed against Sheffield needs to be present every day and every game.
'We are a strong family here and I can guarantee you that everyone will work hard for each other.
'We need to cross the road together, not separate, and people should be positive and proud of the work we are doing in such difficult circumstances.''
Doncaster Rovers are currently only one place below us in the Championship table with 9 points.
They're undefeated at home in the League, winning 1 and drawing 3. They are yet to win on their travels. They've drawn their last 2 games and haven't won in the last 4.
Last season's match at the Keepmoat Stadium ended in a 0-0 draw, with Dimi Konstantopoulos making a late penalty save for the Swans to keep the scores goalless at full time.
In January 2008, we beat Rovers 4-0 away as we went on to win the League One Title.

When the Dallas Mavericks heard Jason Kidd was going to sign with the New York Knicks, there was a level of optimism (in public anyway) that Dallas might be better off with a younger point guard to run the show next to star Dirk Nowitzki.
After all, Kidd isn't close to the player he used to be. He's slower and forced to become a spot up shooter in the game. Darren Collison and Roddy Beaubois were supposed to be cheaper and younger alternatives to help the Mavericks during this season with a low salary cap and a wish list of signing another superstar to go with Dirk in the offseason.

Sweet Chariot
info courtesy Pete Oliver
Originally formed as Dave Barron and the Chariots in 1962, then became Jackie Richmond and the Chariots in 1967. Pete Oliver and Ronny Grundy joined in 1969 - the band becoming Sweet Chariot in 1970.
Stuart Grattige, the only surviving Chariot (arguably the longest surviving Manchester group) asked me could I find a bass player to join him at the Southern Sporting Club. I got ex Irwells Ronnie Grundy.
We didn't even have a name and we won the Poparama contest at Belle Vue in 1970. Everybody called us the Chariots out of habit.
My 6 month residency with the Chariots lasted 20 years, 6 countries, maybe a dozen tv shows and 3 record companies.
Formed in 1958 the Chariots\Sweet Chariot as a 3 piece had over 17 members, and I have written a 30 minute film script based on a possible final reunion. Anybody into tv production contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Pete Oliver (see also The Irwells and New Religion)
Ask Pete Olly about the time he told Walt at Beaujangles Motors off Regent Rd in Salford that his Bentley would take off faster than Walts 7 litre Mustang Cobra Jet (the car held a street altered record at Santa Pod).
Pete tried to give us a demo - and promptly snapped a half shaft in the middle of the street. How we laughed!
Worked with Sweet Chariot at Jack Dillon's Lonsdale club using Andy's gear.

Who needs Emerson when you have Anderson!
Ian (Andy) Anderson
A friend of mine a long time ago played keyboards with Sweet Chariot for a while, must have been late 70s early 80'. Phil Wareing from Tottington.
He had previously played bass with a band I was in called Happy Apple ( a club trio, two girls and me!) which evolved into a self contained group called Rusty playing pop. He bought the first Rickenbacker bass I had seen outside YES.
He gave me a copy of a record produced by Sweet Chariot with their version of Paul Simon's AMERICA (based on the YES arrangement) and an original on the other side the title of which escapes me just now.
Pete and Ronnie also sang on some recordings at Strawberry Studios in probably 1972 of songs by another long standing mate of mine Steve Foley - and there's a story!
Bob Ainsworth
I'm pretty certain that Sweet Chariot played regularly at The Cumberland Club off Langworthy Road on the Farnworth/Bolton road. My wife and I used to go to see them on a Friday night quite often before we were married, . They were brilliant! The compare was a colleague of mine called Norman Wardle. Norman died many years ago. He sounded like Sammy Davis Junior and was a great compere!
Some groups you never forget and Sweet Chariot are one of them!
Les Marsden
The Chariots did a residency at The Jollies in Salford in the early 70's and brought the house down every time.
Greatest memory: "Somewhere over the Rainbow". Showstopper. I watched them ever since around Manchester.
David Metcalfe
Just been looking at the group pages and seeing Sweet Chariot included, reminded me of when Pete Oliver first started to play the drums. Pete was a Salford lad and was a regular at the Gaytime Club.
When he first started playing drums he practised in a rubbish strewn room below the club, at the back of Burtons Tailors shop. He was exceptional even in his early days, and it was no surprise that he became quite successful.
Kenny Edmund
Pete Oliver, Ronnie Grundy, I knew you from the Southern Sporting club. I was the little dark haired girl that used to live facing the club and somehow got in there at weekends even though I was only 14yrs old. I remember Ronnie and his amazingly beautiful girlfriend Lynn who I am sure he went on to marry. Pete's girlfriend was like a model, she suited his car, I know he never went on to marry Beryl. He did eventually marry the daughter of the licencee of the Smithfield in Manchester near Tib Street.
I remember Pete Oliver giving me a spin in his yellow spitfire. They were a fantastic band and should of been more successful than they were.They were slated on Opportunity Knocks by Paula Yates biological father whose name evades me (Hughie Green).
Would love to hear from them. If you're out there hope you're well. Get in touch - Love to you Gail.
Gail - incorrect email provided
Hi Gail your e-mail was incorrect so could't reply personnally.
Yes, Lynn & Ronnie have been happily married for 33 years now we have 3 beautiful daughters. Ronnie is an usher at Crown Court, Peter is living in Spain, not too sure what Stuart is up too saw him about 5 years ago.
Lynn x
Heard Pete Oliver singing in a club in Spain just last week. You could tell he was very profesional - we all thought he was brilliant.
Thanks Pete.
Many memories of Sweet Chariot at Wigan Rugby club The Dano Bass, Clavioline through a valve Copipcat Superb vocals.
Lovely memories
I just wanted to put a post on here about my Dad, Phil Wareing, whom someone has fondly mentioned further up the page. He's recently gone back to playing the bass and has a Fender Jazz which he cant be separated from. Wish I knew more about my pa's Sweet Chariot days, so would be really appreciative if anyone could let me know anything.
Kate Wareing
Remember Sweet Chariot very well from the mid 1970s, when I ran the Inn on the Bay at Morecambe, they were probably one of the most popular groups to play the Inn, and I booked them often. Another popular act at that time was Reg Coats Experience. My wife Sandy always said, Pete was the best looking guy in the club, hated him for that, but still booked him. Good luck in Spain Pete, if that's where you are.
Ray Brace
Thanks to all the above for your great memories! Believe it or not I remember you all.
Hello Ray, do you remember when I saved your life at the bay. You owe me a brandy in Benidorm.
God bless you all.
Just returned home from Benidorm where we saw Pete Oliver performing at the Malibu club. It was a great night with Pete singing some good Bee Gees numbers, Nat King Cole, Neil Diamond and Chris Rea songs and told some funny stories about Sweet Chariot in the 70's.
We had a chat with Pete at the bar and told him we saw Sweet Chariot about 30 years ago at the Memory Inn in Ashton-under-Lyne.
Cheers Pete.
Eddie & Marilyn
Remember seeing Sweet Chariot play at The Piper in Preston, Lancashire many times. My sister was a huge fan of Ronnie.
Who was the new member back in the late 70's? Told me he used to play with The Walker Brothers. Was his name Scott?
Glad to hear you are still singing, fabulous voice Ronnie, "He aint heavy" was my favourite, still have you album Those were the days.
Sue Hall
Remember when I was living in the UK (now back in Australia) I worked behind the bar. Sweet Chariot played there quite often (think I was given a record at one stage). Went out with their roadie for a while (Bryn Jones). Haw funny days!
I remember Pete Oliver before the Gaytime days. He played the drums at West Salford Youth Club. The last time I saw him he was singing solo at the Lyndene Hotel in Blackpool.
Had some brilliant nights at the Bower Club Stalybridge when Chariot were playing, saw them a few times up there,also at Dixieland in Blackpool where they were doing the Summer season around 1973.
I got talking to them,and they mentioned they also played at the Talbot in Stalybridge, a bit before my time that one, good times.
Spent some time with Pete and his Mrs Laverne in Benidorm October 2010. He's still singing brilliantly with Bee Gees tribute band.
Bless you Pete always - love ya
Steve Dawson
I remember Pete and Leverne when they lived in Portugal at THE ROVERS RETURN we had a great time with them and there friends from Manchester, he got me on stage trying to sing and tell jokes then in the early hours of the morning see us off to the airport at Faro.
I have a few photos and very fond memories of the time we spent with them all those years ago please give them my kindest regards, i do hope they are keeping well.
Roy Nightingale
Its so nice to see people remenising about my dad from back in the days.
I just wanted to say, Pete being my dad hasn't told me all the great funny stories from back in the days :) so if anybody here can fill me in on some happy memories they shared with my dad that would be great or if u have any old photos?
I'm immensely proud of my dad! He is 64 now and still singing his heart out in Benidorm, Spain. He inspries me and I love him dearly especial when he sings with my older sister, they have the voices of angels.
And if my uncle Reg ever reads this please know I haven't forgotten my godfather - please get in touch!
Luv You Dad xx - then again he wouldn't be where he is today without my mum Laverne! She is his spinal cord . Uncle Reg, my love if yu read this and you too Uncle Ronny xx
Mercedes Lucy Oliver
I was with The Dooleys in the 70's (now living in Cape Town) and Sweet Chariot were our favourite band! We used to watch them whenever possible, Embarassed to say, we pinched their Climb Every Mountain/Impossible Dream medley as it was so good.
Happy memories of a great band, wish Olly and Pete all the best from the Dooley's.
Bob Walsh
I worked at the Cabaret club on Oxford Street when Sweet Chariot played there I remember Reg Coates and the Boston International Showband who played their last gig at the Cabaret before joining with Paul Gadd and becoming the Glitter band.
Pete had a brilliant thing he did when singing When I fall in love he would take a girls hand in the audience gaze into her eyes then kiss his own hand and up his arm.
I followed Chariot for ages - got everyone I knew to send hundreds of postcards for Opportunity Knocks and they were beaten by some kid.
Anyone remember Ma who followed them everywhere she introduced them on Op knocks they had a hard core of fans who turned up everywhere. Can't believe Pete is 64. I have the most brilliant memories of those Manchester Club days but prefer to keep most of them to myself .
Kath Slater
Met Pete in Portugal when he ran a bar with his wife Laverne. Lost contact then met him in Blackpool, went to Benidorm in June 2011 met him again by accident. Went to see Laverne in bar she works, Pete and I then went for a drink.
Going back to Benidorm in November looking forward to seeing him again - he's a cracking man.
Tom Short
Saw Pete Oliver in Benidorm last week enjoyed catching up with his music - took us back to Blackpool where we saw Peter and the choirgirls. His voice is as strong as ever.
See you next year - all the best to you and Laverne.
Pamela Grey
During the seventies Ronnie, Pete and the lads used to stay at a pro digs in Roker, Sunderland called South Lodge. It was owned by my mother Carol.
As a group they were an amazing nights entertainment.
Jonathan O'Callaghan
I always loved this band, I sugest sombody makes a facebook page as its the largest social media page worldwide the page would be full of fans in no time.
Betty Smith
My husband used to be with a comedy duo in the seventies called Grump and Gary. My husband is Gary, the straight man of the two. He said he spent many happy hours playing football on the beach at Whitley Bay with the lads.
Maureen Cooper
I was a singer all around the greater Manchester area and worked with Sweet Chariot loads of time . They were fantastic. My name was Pat Francis and I did all the 50s and 60s stuff. Worked with them at the Talk of the North and I think the Naps in Openshaw, plus loads more.
Pat Francis
Remember me from many years ago, you used my dog BELLAMY to be photographed on your LP cover......yes I'm taking many years ago, I used to work at Granada and Indigo Recording Studios and yes Somewhere over the Rainbow was the best!!!! Do you remember the band SMITHY!!!!
Lynn Sulivan
Saw Sweet Chariot at the Garrick club in Leigh. Still play album, Pete's voice still sends shivers down my spine. No one else can sing impossible dream for me. Just wanted to say thanks for happy memories.
I used to work as stage manager at both Blighty's night club in Farnworth , Bolton and Copperfields club on Crompton Way Bolton in the mid seventies along with the compere Ken Shaw. They were the best times of my life and still savour all those happy memories including seeing Sweet chariot . Always thought they were amongst the best that used to appear there.
I remember them asking me if I wanted to join them as a roadie as they were due to go to Japan , but I had a new girlfriend at the time who I later went on to marry but always wondered what would have happened in my life if I had joined them.
Still trying to find out what has happened to Ken Shaw who used to live in Farnworth but everyone I ask doesn't seem to know what has happened to him or where he may be these days.it would be great to be able to go back in time and enjoy those wonderful times all over again and listen to all those great songs that Sweet Chariot used to sing and the special way they used to sing them.
Many thanks for giving me the chance to recall my youth and the many friends I met along the way.
Whispering John Allen
I remember when Sweet Chariot had all their gear and van stolen in Newcastle during the winter of 1977/78. Some of Pete's drum sticks that had his name on along with a lot of stage clothing turned up in a house in Bradford. After a lot of work, the rest of the gear and van were recovered.
At that time the group were Pete, Ronnie, Phil and Eddie Davies. I had to meet up with the lads at various places and of course we all had to celebrate the recovery of the gear. Celebrations were so good at one stage that Ronnie was able to sit in and ride in a child's seat in my old Caravette and not know that he had done. We had a lot of fun together at various places in Yorkshire and the lads did a full evenings charity concert for us as a thank you for recovering their gear. We still have good memories of that time along with a copy of the demo record they produced.
John Garside
At the time (early 70's) Sweet Chariot were one of the best bands in Manchester. They performed regulary at old Wigan Rugby Club around 1972-76 and also at the Riverside when the old club was done up. I also saw them at the Northern Club, Broadway,and Cumberland Club - they were regular players at First House Group venues.
Happy days - I miss them so much - proper good nights out they were.
Colin Barnes
We remember Pete and Laverne, we used to live in Portugal and had a bar also, called Tom and Jerrys. Pete used to sing for us occasionally and we used to go to his bar the Rovers Return. We have also visited him in Benidorm. Great singer.!!
Madge Farrand
Hope they are all well. My memories are of Ronnie growing up in Salford at Salford swimming club great times ... then seeing him with the Chariots at the Garick Club in Leigh.
June Wilcock
Hi Whispering Johnnie Allen....How are you matey...Did I give you that name ? Yes we had some great times. I'm in Spain now Nr Torreviaja been here ten years. Sang for the first 6 and then the recession kicked in.
Still doing the odd gig or two....good to hear from you how are you ? Email me (email webmaster for address)
Ken Shaw
Stuart Grattige died recently. He was a regular at the Eagle & Child in Whitefield prior to being diagnosed with lung cancer. His death did not long follow the diagnosis and he was buried at Stand All Saints Church, Whitefield, on Friday 21 December after a service at OLOG, Prestwich.
Simon Tushingham
When Stuart split from Sweet Chariot he formed a group called GYPSY of which I worked in with Stuart (keyboards) myself Baz (drums-vocals) and Tony Harney (bass). We worked together for many years and a few changes of bass players, due to clubs closing and cutting back on entertainment in the 1990 we went down to a duo called NEW FORMULA which must make Stuart one of the longest musicians from the manchester era. This sadly came to an end when we had the van stolen along with all the gear.
Sadly Stuart died - will be missed by myself and many more friends and fans of the Chariots/Sweet Chariot/Gypsy.
Baz Hilton
Really sorry to hear about Stu. He was a great guy who I regularly had a drink with. He and Baz performed at the Commercial Inn (Prestwich) for my wife's surprise 40th birthday in 1996. Stu refused to take any payment off me. insisting they had enjoyed themselves and to consider it a birthday present for my wife.
Jackie Richmond also sang a few songs with them that night.
Steve Braithwaite
Really sad to hear about Stuart fantastic person, he set up my Jackson guitar for me in the late 80's I still have it now and will never part with it. Followed the lads around for sometime had some good times with them, I was lucky enough to get one of their CD's "Stolen Memoirs" 1969 - 2001 play it all the time fantastic version of Some Enchanted Evening. Great memories.
Just a little update on ANDY (Ian Anderson) who was with Sweet Chariot for quite a few years with Pete, Ronnie Grundy, Stuart and also Keith the drummer. ANDY has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's however he remembers very much about the band, the good times etc and people. He has good words to say about everyone and is always asking about everyone. At present he is in a care home. He sends his best wishes to everyone and especially to Harry Greene - who has regularly kept in touch. Please feel free to ring or visit him - he would love it.

Sadly, Andy has now passed away. Will be missed by so many. Fond personal memories of the years with him in Phoenix. RIP plonk
Paul (webmaster)
Very sad to read about Stuart (Lurch). I was a mere youth working for Jack McCall at the La Petite Club as organist (later became Clan Bar, then Celebrity Club and finally - yes Foo-foo's). I worked for Jack on and off form the age of 14 till about 27. When I was probably about sixteen I first met Stuart. Lovely person. We used to meet regularly in Snacktime the 24 hour "cafe!!!!!!" opposite the Bus Stop club - just outside the bus stop strangely enough where Sweet Chariot (I think they were called) played.
Later I worked for Pete Oliver at the pub he had on Rochdale Road. I know this is about Stuart but just one interesting loop of life is worth mentioning. Pete married the most lovely lady called Laverne - stunning. She was the cloak/entrance/hat lady at the Celebrity Club. I wish I had been just a bit older and made the most of meeting people like Lurch.
Imagine, I backed Johnny Duncan and the Bluegrass boys at Jack's club - it wasn't till years later that I realised they were famous.
Stuart Brown
Oops, forgot to mention the other part of the "loop" was Jackie Richmond was the compere at Celebrity Club.... and I also ended up working for him at the Lightbown Hotel.
Great to read about Stuart and the memories of all his friends from 60s and 70s. Myself and Stuart had thirty-five happy years together, two pubs, two lovely daughters and we are missing him like crazy.
His mate Baz is organising a tribute night to Stuart soon in the Prestwich area. All welcome for a catch up.
Yads Grattidge
Does anyone remember seeing Sweet Chariot (wonderful) at Offerton Palace in the late 60's early 70's. I have read about them appearing in many places, but this venue is not mentioned.
Linda Fox
I remember Pete Oliver quite well, he used to come to Salford Market to buy shoes from myself and my cousin Jimmy. We were the only scousers on the market and Jimmy was a ex-boxer. Pete's mum used to come and say hello every day and somtimes when Pete was out of town, he would ask Jimmy to look in on her.
I remember Pete giving us free tickets for the Willows, I think.
Fond memories and I hope he is in good health.
Frank Higgins
I remember Sweet Chariot doing charity gigs with Foo Foo n Jack Richmond at my Mum n Dads pub The Broadway New Moston in the 70s. I was only 9 or 10 then. My Mum and Dad were firstly friends with Lavernes Mum and Dad when they both had pubs in town (Alice n Kevin Murray)and I think they saw Pete and Laverne in Benidorm a few times. Happy memories from those days.
Lynne Finlay (Murray)
Pete Oliver......what a guy. I remember rooming with Pete when we were with Reg Coats Combo in Frankfurt. Great times, Great music......rock on.
Bill Clarke
Lived and worked for Stuart and his wonderful wife at the Lake and spent many hours travelling with Stu and Baz in a van.......Happy Days, gutted to hear about Stu thoughts and prayer with Yads xxx

FNH Audio presents this unabridged reading of the heroic story of a territorial battalion mobilised and sent overseas into the bloodiest conflict the world has ever known. They fought with distinction at the Somme and Arras through some of the most terrible and wasteful of battles. In one three month period this battalion alone lost 1,200 men and sixty officers. That it survived until the end of the war was nothing short of a miracle.
This history was written by the battalions Adjutant in 1919. A winner of the Military Cross for his actions in the combat, he relates in this work the fighting spirit of the battalion with a truthfulness that only comes with having been there.

In addition to all the technical work I do on a daily basis, I also have a penchant for pens it seems. I was reading an article on Lifehacker on what tools the editors and writers use on a daily basis. A number of them mentioned they had bought pens from Jetpens. I didn't think at the time anyone besides me could find office supplies, much less pens to be cool or interesting.
I had no idea of the wonderful world that existed on the internet for the love of pens, stationary, and office supplies in general. Soon I found the Pen Addict, and associated podcast. Before I knew it I had placed my first order from Jetpens!

Sept. 23, 2014 – US envoy Samantha Power has cited Article 51 of the UN Charter as cover for the airstrikes the United States carried out inside Syria overnight Monday against ISIS and the Khorasan unit of the Nusra Front.
Power wrote to Ban Ki-moon Tuesday saying, "States must be able to defend themselves … when, as is the case here, the government of the state where the threat is located is unwilling or unable to prevent the use of its territory for such attacks."
Power's letter also cites Iraq's letter to the Security Council of Sept. 20 warning that the country "is facing a serious threat of continuous attacks coming out of ISIL safe havens in Syria." It adds that the Iraqi government has requested the US lead "international efforts to strike ISIL sites and military strongholds in Syria."
The UN Charter prohibits the use of force by a state against another state unless authorized by a Security Council resolution. But Article 51 provides an exception: "Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations."
The UN Charter is concerned with inter-state conflict as only states can become members of the UN so the applicability of Article 51 for use of force inside a sovereign country against a non-state actor is a question that international law scholars have grappled with.
Marko Milanovic argues that Article 51 does not require the attribution of the armed attack by a non-state actor to a state. "Rather, for the attacked state to respond against the non-state actor which is operating in another state, the conduct of this latter state must be such to justify the ensuing violation of its sovereignty."
He proposes three scenarios that would justify an attack inside a sovereign state against a non-state actor:
"(a) the territorial state was complicit or was actively supporting the non-state actor in its armed attack; (b) the territorial state failed to exercise due diligence, i.e. it did not do all that it could reasonably have done to prevent the non-state actor from using its territory to mount an armed attack against another state, or is not doing all it can to prevent further attacks; (c) the territorial state may have exercised due diligence, but it was nonetheless unable to prevent the attack, or to prevent further attacks."
And the due diligence case would appear to be the US argument when Power writes that "the government of the state where the threat is located is unwilling or unable to prevent the use of its territory for such attacks."
Ban Ki-moon earlier on Tuesday spoke of the US airstrikes, saying that "today's strikes were not carried out at the direct request of the Syrian Government, but I note that the Government was informed beforehand."
"I also note that the strikes took place in areas no longer under the effective control of that Government. I think it is undeniable – and the subject of broad international consensus – that these extremist groups pose an immediate threat to international peace and security," Ban said.

ST. LOUIS — Part of baseball's charm is that it blends competition and calibration. But to believe what happened Monday night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington in Game 5 of the World Series requires another trait: an active imagination.
E.T. can phone home. Preschoolers text message. Progresso soup chefs talk to customers through cans attached to strings. Yet at the pinnacle of their sport, in a game demanding excellence, the St. Louis Cardinals couldn't communicate with their bullpen, leaving relief pitcher Jason Motte watching as the Rangers' Mike Napoli delivered the decisive swing that gave the Texas Rangers a 3-2 series lead. Game 6 is scheduled here tonight, weather permitting.
Speaking to the media Tuesday, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa left no doubt who was to blame.
"It was my fault," La Russa said of the eighth-inning bullpen confusion that directly impacted the game's outcome. "I have told (bullpen coach Derek) Lilliquist 10 times he did nothing wrong."
La Russa revisited the bizarre sequence with the media at Busch Stadium, discussing it for more than 20 minutes. He shed additional light on the snafu and accepted responsibility, but it still was hard to reconcile how one of the game's sharpest minds presided over such a huge mix-up.
In his first call to the bullpen requesting that Motte warm up, La Russa admitted he might not have said his name before Lilliquist hung up. On the second call for Motte, La Russa indicated that he might have slurred the words.
"It was odd (turn of events)," Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. "But that's not why we lost the game. We missed out on too many opportunities. We needed to push a few more across."
An offense that went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position was problematic. But that's an execution issue. Players fail. It's inherent in a sport where a 30 percent success rate represents an all-star. La Russa's rare wire-crossing is harder to digest.
At the height of the absurdity, after the Rangers had taken a 4-2 lead, La Russa looked at reliever Lance Lynn on the mound and asked, "What are you doing here?" It would be the equivalent of calling Domino's and getting Chinese delivered.
"Again, I told Derek there was miscommunication. It was not his problem, it was mine," La Russa said.
La Russa offered more insight Tuesday, allowing a better understanding of what went wrong. Things began to unravel for St. Louis in the bottom of the eighth after Octavio Dotel allowed a leadoff double to Michael Young. Dotel struck out Adrian Beltre, and then La Russa ordered him to intentionally walk Nelson Cruz. Dotel asked "Why?" in the clubhouse after the game. He wanted a shot at the free-swinger.
Moments before the intentional walk, La Russa made his first call to the bullpen, telling Lilliquist to get Motte and Marc Rzepczynski loose. La Russa revealed Tuesday that Lilliquist might not have heard him.
"The first mention of Motte was probably after he hung up," La Russa said. "Maybe I didn't say Motte quickly enough."
This oversight soon became amplified when Rzepczynski was unable to retire left-handed hitting David Murphy. A groundball caromed off the pitcher's glove, leaving the bases loaded. As Rzepczynski faced Murphy, La Russa called the bullpen again, telling Lilli- quist to get Motte ready. Lilli- quist heard Lance Lynn, even though the names sound nothing alike and Lynn was available only for an emergency appearance (which this wasn't).
Napoli then delivered the game-winning hit, a two-run double off the left-handed Rzepczynski.
"I didn't know about any confusion until after the game when someone asked about me facing Napoli. I don't know what happened. There were 51,000 people cheering," Motte said. "We had confidence that Rep would get anyone out."
The alternative — Murphy reaching — appeared to catch La Russa flat-footed. He was adamant Tuesday that he couldn't get Motte ready for Napoli with a stall tactic once he realized Motte hadn't been warming up. But this ran contrary to what eventually happened — Motte got loose in fewer than 10 pitches before replacing Lynn.
"If they had stalled, maybe I would have been able to get loose for Napoli. I don't know. It's easy to go back now and second-guess. Who's to say I would have gotten him out?" Motte said. "You can get into the ifs and buts everytime a pitch goes wrong."
Motte was candid, refreshing. He didn't pitch. Time to move on. But for good measure, he said they should probably double-check the Cardinals' bullpen phone tonight.

Can you hear me now?
A simple text message could have solved Tony La Russa's problem. It could have produced the following exchange:
La Russa: Need 4 U to warm Motte.
Lilliquist: Yeah, it is hot.
La Russa: Motte. Rhymes with Rzepczynski.
Lilliquist: OK, it's Lynn. LOL
La Russa: OMG

The 1982 FIFA World Cup, the 12th FIFA World Cup, was held in Spain from 13 June to 11 July and was marked by a series of great matches and is widely regarded as the second-best ever after the 1970 tournament. This was also the first World Cup to feature 24 teams, an expansion from at most 16 in the previous tournaments. The Italians were fresh and confident following their semi-final win over Poland, but the West Germans were tired and had not recovered from the bruising epic with France. After a scoreless first half during which Antonio Cabrini fired a penalty wide of goal, the Italians began to dominate the game. After a deliberate foul just outside the area by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Italian central defender Claudio Gentile raced upfield to set the ball and initiate the quick restart, catching the German Goalkeeper Schumacher out of position and the German defence unprepared. Paolo Rossi scored first for the third straight game by heading home Gentile's bouncing cross at close range. Once behind, the Germans threw more men forward leaving large gaps at the back for Italy to counter-attack. Exploiting the situation, the Azzurri scored twice more on quick counter-strikes, all the while capitalising on their best-in-the-world defence to hold the Germans. With Claudio Gentile and Gaetano Scirea of Juventus holding the centre, the Italian strikers were free to counter-punch the weakened German defence. Marco Tardelli's splendid shot from the edge of the area (and his legendary shouting and arm-pumping celebration) beat Schumacher first, and Alessandro Altobelli, the substitute for injured striker Francesco Graziani, made it 3-0 at the end of a trademark solo sprint down the right side by the stand-out winger Bruno Conti. Italy's lead appeared secure, encouraging Italian president Sandro Pertini to wag his finger at the cameras in a playful "not going to catch us now" gesture, overcoming an initial reluctance from the Italian crowd to declare victory early after West Germany's famous comeback in the semi-final. In the 83rd minute, however, Paul Breitner managed to put a small scare back into the Italians by driving home a goal against the otherwise spectacular Dino Zoff but it was never enough and Italy claimed their first World Cup title in 48 years, and their third in total with a 3-1 victory

June 2016 - Oasis of the Seas to Caribbean - Eastern
Oasis of the Seas is a beautiful ship and the service was great! So much to do on the ship. The only thing I disliked was that we didn't have much time in San Juan, Puerto Rico so I felt rushed and I couldn't enjoy myself. The ship docked around 7am and we had to be on board at 1:30pm. I had the most fun in Labadee, Haiti.

EDITORIAL: Bassmaster Tournament proves region can compete on entertainment, tourism
Published 1:00 am, Friday, March 15, 2013
If this weekend's Bassmaster Sabine River Challenge goes off as expected, Orange might consider changing its motto to "The Little Town That Could." The fishing tournament would be noticed in a much larger city, but the economic and social impact of up to 6,000 spectators will be impossible to miss in Orange.
Local officials deserve praise for landing this big one - and the accompanying live music, arts and crafts fair, fireworks display and laser show. Everything from hotels and restaurants to the Shangri La Botanical Gardens and W.H. Stark House will see more people and dollars.
Events like this reinforce the point that tournaments, conventions, tourism etc. aren't just things that happen to Houston or Dallas. Cities like Orange can play that game too.
From birding along the Gulf Coast to exploring the Big Thicket to softball tournaments at Ford Park, Southeast Texas has a lot to offer. Let's make sure that other people know that.

Working on political and social issues naturally sensitises us to certain dynamics of the world around us – allowing us to recognise the economic or power structures that underpin social behaviours and political institutions. Understanding how values and frames work adds another dimension – opening a range of new avenues for analysis, exploration and intervention.
Values, then, are one important influence on our actions and the way we see the world. Understanding them reveals a major underlying connection between a vast array of major issues – racism, human rights, community welfare, women's empowerment, youth exclusion, biodiversity loss, sustainability. Concern and behaviours related to these problems are all associated with a set of related values. Such an understanding also reveals an important way in which progress on these issues is influenced by education, the media, and other social institutions. Values are engaged and strengthened by our experiences – and we are all a part of each other's experience, whether we like it or not.
It is therefore important to ask what values we want to endorse, and what the implications will be for the issues we care about. The answers to many of these questions may be fairly intuitive, in line with what we currently do, or slot easily into our current areas of activity; others may run counter to our existing practices. Hopefully, however, this understanding will also open up new opportunities for exploration and further work – in how we organise, how we engage with others, and what we call for.
Collateral damage
One major consideration is that a whole range of our activities are likely to have had important effects we may not previously have acknowledged. One approach that has recently gained ground, for instance, is to tailor communications to appeal to the dominant motivations of different groups of people. Volunteering, educational activities and charitable giving may be presented as opportunities for freebies or personal gain. Environmental behaviour change may thus be sold via 'eco-chic' for status-conscious people, or opportunities to save cash for the frugal. Similarly, human rights appeals may be 'sold' on the basis that human rights abuses make us (and people like us) less safe.
This approach has helped by highlighting the importance of understanding motivational differences between different groups – and can be successful in achieving some goals. But it is also likely to have brought about significant 'collateral damage'. Because values seem to become stronger with repeated 'engagement', such appeals are actually likely to reinforce precisely those values that impede lasting change.
Meeting people where they are
Continuing to reinforce extrinsic values in people's motivations is therefore likely to have unintended consequences. At the same time, though, a person's dominant values – which will sometimes be extrinsically-oriented – may well cause them to react negatively to anything seen as directly oppositional to their dominant value-set.
Additionally, the way people express their values may be constrained in particular ways. This may include the normalising of particular behaviours by the media or other institutions, consumer culture, or financial constraints. So even if people prioritise intrinsic values, there may be limited opportunities to pursue related activities where they live or work. A person may believe community and equality are important, but be unfamiliar (and initially uncomfortable) with using democratic processes in the workplace. Equally, people express their values in different ways: some will be used to giving money to causes they care about, others devoting creative time, others simply taking part in discussions.
Meeting people where they are will therefore be important in engaging them, with a view to ultimately creating spaces for change and facilitating the flourishing of more intrinsic values. This means making the most of the shared knowledge and experience we already have on how to initiate and maintain engagement with those around us; thinking about the language and media we use, and the places we work.
Towards a new approach: some guiding principles
Aligning our work with the values that are likely to spur lasting change is clearly unlikely to be a uniformly quick or easy process. Outlined below, however, are some initial guiding principles that will be important in helping us shape our activities in the short, medium and long term.
1. Explore values
Values and frames open up new avenues for analysis, exploration and intervention: how they are expressed in economic structures, underpin behaviour and institutions, and emerge in our own strategies and practices.
2. Nurture intrinsic values
No aspect of our work is ever entirely value-free, instead both embodying and reinforcing certain values and frames. We should therefore aim not only to promote intrinsic values in communications but to embed them across all areas of our work.
3. Challenge extrinsic values
Various elements of our society and culture help foster the desire for wealth, social recognition and power – and simultaneously diminish care for people and the environment. Addressing these will be essential in making progress.
4. See the big picture
The benefits of appeals to extrinsic values – in motivating rapid or significant policy changes – may occasionally outweigh the 'collateral damage' they cause. Without a clear understanding of values, however, we will not be able to identify and manage these trade-offs effectively. We must not lose sight of the big picture, and a vision of long-term, systemic change, with a clear understanding of the values that will underpin it.
5. Work together
Clearly, no one group or organisation is likely to have much of an impact in shifting values on its own. We need to cooperate and collaborate – both within and across different sectors – to be effective. Because diverse issues are linked by the values that underpin them, we will be continually supporting each other through our efforts.
1. Living values: A report encouraging boldness in third sector organisations was published in 2006. It explored the values of civil society through a series of workshops in which participants discussed personal and organisational values, such as 'empowering people' and 'transforming lives'. They discussed threats to these values (which they agreed came largely from within their organisations) such as top-down organisational approaches and short-termism, and recommended putting values front and centre of all of their activities.
2. WWF's Natural Change Project 'drew together seven diverse individuals from the business, charitable, arts, public, health and education sectors in Scotland' who were all skilled communicators, and who were described as 'light green'. Through a series of residential workshops and reflective blogging, participants were encouraged to 'think deeply' about sustainability. The experiences appeared to have a profound impact on the participants: who reported having been affected on a deeper level than they had by any more traditional campaign, and had taken away a strengthened connection with nature and sustainability issues more widely, and a desire to share this with others. This resulted in substantial behaviour changes and organising events themselves.
3. The Equality Trust highlight and campaign to address the detrimental effects of inequality on society. Inequality seems to promote extrinsic values across the population – and not just in poorer groups – by promoting feelings of insecurity, and drives consumerism by cultivating self-enhancing aspirations. These processes drive feelings of stress and anxiety; poor health outcomes such as obesity and heart disease; higher levels of consumption and less sustainable lifestyles. In addition to addressing inequality head on, they identify other points of intervention such as advertising and parts of the media, which play a large role in perpetuating and reinforcing these kinds of values.
4. The Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change provides a good illustration of the issue of trade-offs. Its release presented commentators and civil society with a number of relevant concerns to focus on. Many reinforced the dominant framing – concentrating on the purely economic costs of climate change and the economic benefits of addressing it. An alternative frame – many of the features of which were also present in the Stern Review – was available to them, however: a focus on the ethical dimensions, including the negative impacts for people and the natural world. The dominant frame may well have promoted extrinsic values, but also made bigger headlines – bringing more attention to the issues. The alternative may have received less attention, but resisted reinforcing what could be a deeply unhelpful frame – instead encouraging the expression of more intrinsic concerns.
For a longer discussion of the Stern Review click here.
5. The Robin Hood Tax has successfully rallied a diverse set of groups, organisations and individuals – including religious groups, big NGOs, smaller civil society organisations, trade unions, economists, and private sector representatives – around the otherwise unlikely cause of financial sector reform. With a clear and strong main message – a levy on financial sector transactions – the campaign has succeeded in drawing together a huge number of causes, from child poverty and public services in the UK to global maternal health and climate change. Importantly, the campaign also draws on a potent frame: the culturally archetypal figure of Robin Hood, who embodies the idea of redistribution as social justice.
Working for change
There is power in aligning what we say we value and what we show we value. There are likely numerous areas that we work in where reflecting the values we wish to promote would be effective and beneficial to the issues we care about: outlined below are a few thoughts on what these might be.
Communication, education, facilitation
Taking values into account doesn't detract from the importance of the messages we communicate. However, doing so should highlight the values embedded in all aspects of the experience of that message: in the setting, the frames, the level of participation it offers, and the messenger. The type, and depth, of engagement is also significant. A low-involvement experience – reading a leaflet, for instance – is likely to engage with values fairly superficially; while top-down communications may stifle the expression and development of self-direction values. First-hand experience and deeper involvement are likely to have a much greater impact, and self-direction values are more likely to be engaged where self-expression and critical thought are facilitated and encouraged.
Example: Carbon Conversations Groups offer supportive and non-judgemental spaces for people to 'connect, explore and then act on climate change'. Six facilitated group meetings take people through trust-building exercises, discussion and exploration of carbon footprints and lifestyles, and information sharing. The depth of engagement, the openness of the experience, and the encouragement to share and explore the emotional as well as rational responses to the challenges ahead all reflect the intrinsic values embodied in the desire to address environmental issues.
Example: Oxfam's 'Be Humankind' campaign taps into the benevolence value of kindness, while evoking the wider perspective of 'humankind' – aiming to harness and promote intrinsic values more broadly. It also addresses supporters with a call to action as part of a wider human community.
Advocacy, lobbying and policy work
Institutions, policies and social structures play a central role in shaping our lived experience. How can we find out what the full impact of these might be, taking values into account? There are values embedded in the use of economic indicators as a proxy for societal success, for instance. What policies could better embody the appreciation of others and of nature, creativity, and fair opportunities for all?
Example: Mumsnet, the online parenting network, have recently sought to counter the objectification of women and the sexualisation of children's culture through campaigns against the marketing of 'lads' mags' and sexualising content to children. These issues are strongly associated with extrinsic values, including power and concern for image, as well as unhealthy behaviours such as eating disorders. Working with a wide variety of actors such as the Archbishop of Canterbury, politicians, health foundations and associations, and the Girl Guides, the campaign has provided a strong and consistent voice on the ethics of these issues. Campaigns such as these may help combat the normalisation of extrinsic values.
Organisation, supporters, finance and fundraising
People's overall experience of organisations will serve to reinforce particular values – and not always those being explicitly promoted. Our relationship with the people we work with can therefore be important. Holding a participatory meeting in a community space embodies very different values from a formal meeting encouraging deference to hierarchical structures. Similarly, financially successful models or techniques often allow limited scope for engagement with those you're working with (and often have a high churn of members, supporters or employees). An example is the civil society model of professionalised 'protest businesses' with direct debits as the deepest level of engagement. What organisational models best embody the values we wish to promote?
Example: The Camp for Climate Action Participation was embedded in the Camp at a deep level, through national, regional and local decision-making groups. While in practice participation was inevitably limited by factors such as available time, mobility and experience, in principle the decision-making process was open to all, and encouraged direct participation on a horizontal, democratic basis. The human and natural impacts of issues were the focus of discussions, and non-violent, direct and creative action was encouraged.
Example: The fundraising department at the Centre for Alternative Technology have recently started applying a values approach to their work. Firstly, they have begun to foster a culture of non-competitiveness and cooperation, focused on honesty and integrity, both within the department and with other organisations. They have begun removing extrinsic values and frames from both their internal and external communications: for instance, emphasising the work that needs doing, not whether it's 'value for money'. Focus groups have been set up to explore CAT's work, donors' reasons for giving, and ways to deepen donor engagement. Lastly, they are looking at new ways to measure progress, including staff retention and satisfaction, and donor engagement.
Creation and action
Creation and engagement in practical activities, particularly the promotion of creativity for its own sake (and not for rewards or recognition), are often strongly related to self-direction values, which in turn tend to be strongly related to values supportive of social and environmental justice. While many projects embody this ethos and these values already, there may be more points where more people can be encouraged, engaged and included.
Example: Forest Schools aim to 'encourage and inspire through positive outdoor experiences'. Children of all ages regularly visit local woodlands, are given opportunities to learn about the environment and are encouraged to use their own initiative in exploring and problem-solving. Through creating engaging and achievable tasks, Forest Schools aim to promote self-awareness, appreciation of nature, and social and emotional intelligence.
Example: Depave is a US-based organisation which aims to get rid of unnecessary paved areas and create community green spaces in their place. The reasoning is two-fold: concrete, they claim, exacerbates the detachment of people from nature, as well as contributing to storm-water pollution. The recruitment of volunteers is aligned with their mission: only the above reasons are given to encourage applications, and there is no mention of additional reward of any sort. In 2009, 275 volunteers 'depaved' 29,300 square feet of land and created six community green spaces, three sustainable schoolyards, and sixty-five garden plots.
Support and communities
Support and community services could promote self-direction values and be carried out in highly compassionate ways; at other times they may promote conformity, social order, and deference to authority. If the end goal is the care of others (related to intrinsic values), then ensuring the values embodied are aligned with the methods may be important; if not, they may erode the very values and outcomes strived for.
Example: Community Links are an East London group working with disadvantaged communities. Their mission is to "To generate change. To tackle causes not symptoms, find solutions not palliatives. To recognise that we need to give as well as to receive and to appreciate that those who experience a problem understand it best… To distinguish between the diversity that enriches society and the inequalities that diminish it. To grow – but all to build a network not an empire… To never do things for people but to guide and support, to train and enable, to simply inspire." To these ends, they work, embedded in communities, alongside schools, public services and communities themselves. They provide support and advice for gaining skills and employment for adults and youth, child care and play, planting and growing, and other community development; as well as having established a school for excluded students – which succeeded in enabling every student to go on to acquire further skills, education or employment last year. As well as a deep engagement with local issues, they consistently lobby for both national and international policy change.
Example: Friends of the Earth Rights and Justice Team focus on communities 'worst affected by environmental problems and least empowered in decision-making'. Using legal and practical advisers, they engage and give ongoing support and training to these communities. They link the environmental justice issues faced by communities in the UK, such as areas of London, with those faced by those in other parts of the world suffering environmental degradation. Explicit in their actions – bringing forward smaller legal cases and delivering skills training, for instance – is a 'big-picture' perspective, and the goal of addressing wider, more systemic issues. They focus entirely on the human (health and other social) and environmental impacts. The 'justice' frame draws on intrinsic values such as equality and freedom, as well as the legal dimension of the issues they work on.
Spaces for change
There are values embedded in how we – as individuals and organisations – interact with each other and the wider world. Below are outlined some thoughts on the implications of this.
How we organise ourselves
The physical spaces and organisational structures we work within are an important part of our lived experience, so it's sensible to ask what values they currently help to strengthen. Do the groups and organisations we are a part of – and the ways we interact with each other – embody the values underpinning our own work?
How we engage with others
The wider world's experience of our organisations – whether through events, services, fundraisers or campaigns – will help to strengthen certain values. Do the messages and experiences we create embody values that are likely to motivate lasting concern about the issues we work on?
What we call for
The changes our groups and organisations work to bring about will have effects beyond those that are more direct or obvious, ultimately serving to strengthen certain values. We must therefore ask what the value impacts of the policies, institutions and practices we advocate will be.
Degrees of change
The way we choose to engage with this agenda, and the way we sequence changes, will vary, but can be conceived of as different depths of change.
Building momentum
Mapping and scrutinising the drivers of different values, and starting to work together more. Thinking about new benchmarks for measuring progress and success.
Structural changes
Aligning values across our communications; challenging unhelpful frames. Rethinking our organisations so that the overall experience of them – for employees, leaders, and those we work with – embodies the values we want to promote.
Cementing systemic change
Pushing for policies that foster intrinsic values, and confronting entrenched institutions and norms that reinforce extrinsic values.6. Implications

The Rockies lost another starting pitcher Tuesday after an MRI revealed a broken bone in Christian Bergman's glove hand.
The right-hander will be in a soft cast for six weeks, he said.
"I wanted to make my next start," Bergman said. "I thought I could push my way through it. But they said I was in danger of injuring it more."
Yohan Flande will likely start in place of Bergman on Wednesday afternoon after he is called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Flande, a career minor-leaguer, turned pro in 2005, but he will be making his major-league debut against the St. Louis Cardinals.
"He has a bit of deception and is a bit of left-handed slinger," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "He has shown the ability to get groundballs."
Flande will be the Rockies' 12th starting pitcher this season — the most in the major leagues.
Bergman is the fifth Colorado starting pitcher on the disabled list.
"It looked like Bergman's hand was coming around, but it turns out he has a fracture in that hand," Weiss said. "So he will join the long list of pitchers, in particular, with broken hands.
"It's been strange — kind of an epidemic around here."
Bergman fractured the trapezium bone, below the thumb on the palm side of his left hand, after he was hit by a line drive Friday in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Flande is 2-9 with a 4.42 ERA with the Sky Sox.
Injury updates. Three other injured Rockies pitchers made significant steps in their injury rehabs Tuesday.
Starters Brett Anderson (broken finger) and Tyler Chatwood (inflamed elbow) and reliever Boone Logan (strained elbow) threw live bullpen sessions against hitters from the Coors Field mound.
"We had a bunch of guys out here throwing today," Weiss said. "It's good. It means they are progressing and actually facing some hitters. It's a big step."
Rafael Betancourt, who's returning from Tommy John surgery on a minor-league contract with the Rockies, also threw live BP.
Logan is the nearest to returning, Weiss said.
Eddie Butler (shoulder inflammation), the other Rockies starter on the disabled list, is scheduled to pitch live BP next week and likely won't return before the all-star break.
Looking ahead
Cardinals' Marco Gonzales (major-league debut) at Rockies' Yohan Flande (major-league debut), 1:10 p.m. Wednesday, MLB TV; 850 AM
Two wildly different pitchers will make their major-league debuts at Coors Field on Wednesday. Flande, a 28-year-old with nearly 10 years in the minor leagues, will start for the Rockies. And Gonzales, 22, will jump from Double-A to pitch for the Cardinals. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said of Gonzales: "You can put together a game plan and know he'll execute it. … It's fun to be able to take that for a ride." He added: "It's an understatement to say he'll be excited. But I think he's ready. The organization is in full support."
Thursday: Rockies' Christian Friedrich (0-1, 6.00 ERA) at Brewers' Wily Peralta (8-5, 3.02), 6:10 p.m., ROOT
Friday: Rockies' Tyler Matzek (1-2, 5.19) at Brewers' Kyle Lohse (9-2, 3.20), 6:10 p.m., ROOT
Saturday: Rockies' Jhoulys Chacin (1-6, 4.84) at Brewers' Matt Garza (4-5, 4.01), 2:10 p.m., ROOT

Commentary &Daily post &Mary Blair 27 Mar 2007 07:54 am
Song of the South links, etc.
– USA Today has an article about Song of the South and the difficulties they seem to be having in releasing a dvd of the film. Isn't it a little pathetic that the Disney execs have to squirm this much over the release of this film? Yes, we appreciate the political-correctness scares them, but is this film any worse than Gone With the Wind?
Isn't it time the Disney folk gave James Baskett his due? He was the first African-American male to be given an Oscar (albeit a special award; he wasn't put in competition). Baskett and Ethel Waters (who won Best Supporting Actress for Pinky that year) didn't sit among the other stars, but were placed to the rear during the ceremony. Isn't that the same thing Disney is doing, now using their fear of political correctness?
To this day his is still probably the best performance by an actor working with animated characters. There were significantly more restrictions on the actors then than there were at the time of Roger Rabbit, or anything more current (and controlled by computer aids.) It was all in his acting. The focus in his eyes tells you this man sees those characters, and they became real for us. Check out the Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah segment and look at his eyes. It's outstanding.
Read the Drafts for the film's animation on Michael Barrier's site.
See some Mary Blair paintings done for this film on Amid Amidi's Cartoon Modern.
There's a highly stylized Nash auto ad from the '50′s on YouTube (in case you haven't seen it) starring the three main characters from Song of the South.
Watch the Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah segment courtesy of Thad Komorowski.
The Asifa-Hollywood Animation Archive has some nice illustrations by Al Dempster and Bill Justice for a Little Golden Book version of the film.
– Tom Sito had a nice little note on his blog today:
1952-U.P.A.'s cartoon Rooty-Toot-Toot premiered. Its music score was by jazzman Phil Moore, the first African American to receive a screen credit for scoring a movie.
Congratulations to SVA school grad, Dony Permedi for having won YouTube's first ever award for the "Most Adorable" piece on the internet. His Kiwi was a Master's thesis at SVA and has received over 6.5 million hits on the site. If you haven't seen the Maya created video, check it out.
Stop Mo Expo – On Sunday, April 21st ASIFA Hollywood is presenting a day of celebration of 3D puppet animation. There will be all day seminars and conferences (from 9am to 5pm), as well as a number of screenings (from 6pm to 10pm). Filmmakers represented include: Will Vinton, the Chiodo brothers, Mark Caballero, Corky Quackenbush, and Seamus Walsh among others.
It will take place at Woodbury University, 7500 Glenoaks Blvd. Burbank, CA.
Vintage ToonCast is an entertaining site that includes a lot of public domain animated shorts such as Mel-O-Toons, Fleischer Superman,k Betty Boop and Popeye shorts, Daffy and the Dinosaur, A is for Atom (the John Sutherland film not the Disney "Our Friend the Atom") and a lot more.

Hey Michael,
I'm with you on the SONG OF THE SOUTH DVD issue, if they can release the war films they can release this picture. The animated segments have got to be among my favorites, and the colors are just amazing.

"Song of the South" is periodically shown on British television without any fuzz. Actually is a very sweet film with some TERRIFIC animation sequences. Kahl told Richard Williams that he was very proud of his work in that film.

A Favorite Poem for Thursday
How does she do it? Such simple language and easy lines, yet they accrue until the poems seems inevitable. Meant to be. I've read this poem hundreds of times and hope to read it many more. I feel a tad foolish confessing that this little poem is one of my favorites, but it is. Perhaps it came into my life well over a decade ago when I was just getting serious about my own poetry. In any case, it never disappoints. Enjoy!
Love Like Salt
It lies in our hands in crystals
too intricate to decipher
It goes into the skillet
without being given a second thought
It spills on the floor so fine
we step all over it
We carry a pinch behind each eyeball
It breaks out on our foreheads
We store it inside our bodies
in secret wineskins
At supper, we pass it around the table
talking of holidays by the sea.

Lovely poem -- thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Hi Martha,ReplyDelete
Mueller also wrote the poem "Monet Considers the Operation" that I am sure you know. It's in the packet on ekphrasis :-)
Mueller is one of my favorite poets. Thanks for posting this wonderful poem.ReplyDelete
Thanks for commenting!
Thank you so much for this amazing poem. I will add it to my journal so that I can savor it again and again.ReplyDelete
Erin, I am really thrilled to introduce you to this poem. And it's always nice to know that I am not the only one who thinks its wonderful. Thanks for writing!ReplyDelete
I enjoyed being introduced to this poem, too, a few days ago, and wasn't going to comment until I read (for the first time) today another wonderful salt poem -- this one in *Taste and See: Food Poems*:ReplyDelete
People still die for it.
Gandhi marched to the sea
for it. The heart spasms
without it, the muscles cramp.
Last night I sobbed crazily
and the salt appeared on cue,
residue of fifty years.
The body floats in it.
The oceans are drenched in it.
the soul must feel
at home in it,
among the measuring
spoons and shakers,
among the bitter, shining
crystals of salt --
even in the Great Salt
Desert. Boil
any pot of water
and all your plans will vanish
except for the salts.
Susan Kelly-DeWitt
Geoff, Thanks for reminding me of this poem. What is it about salt? I suspect it's something to do with it being elemental and ordinary, beautiful and multi-faceted!ReplyDelete

Cooler Master CM Storm Trigger Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review - Software
- Details
- Written by Evan Hiner on April 25th 2012 at 12:38pm
Page 3 of 5
The software for the CM Storm Trigger leaves us with relatively little to say, because overall it's quite standard. It's very similar to most other macro configuration software you may have used, and if you haven't used any in the past, there's not really anything to worry about, as it's very intuitive. It allows you to custom macro any key on the entire keyboard, and also allows for 5 independently-configurable profiles, and also software "triggers" for each one, so you can have different profiles setup for different games or other software you might run. The interface is responsive, clean, and runs quite harmlessly in the background when you don't need to directly access the interface.

Warsaw (Jun. 23)
A demand that the coming Zionist Congress make definite provision for moving the remains of Dr. Theodor Herzl from Vienna to Palestine was made by Dr. Riegel, president of the political committee of the latest Zionist Congress, in an article printed in the organ of the Zionists of East Galicia, "Die Zionistische Woch."
Dr. Riegel's article states that the question is of pressing urgency because of the continuing spread of Hitlerism in Austria, and continues:
"At the 16th Congress at Basle, held on the thirteenth anniversary of the first Congress, a resolution to acknowledge the thirty years' debt of the Jewish nation to Dr. Herzl by moving his remains to Palestine was unanimously adopted.
"The same decision has also been made on various subsequent occasions, but so far nothing has been done to carry it out. Dr. Max Nordau is at rest in the cemetery at Tel Aviv. Not far from his grave is that of his political enemy, Achad Ha-Am. But for the bones of Dr. Herzl no room can apparently be found in the land of his dreams.
"In Germany, and not only in Germany but all over Europe today the anti-Semitic plague is raging in its most virulent form. . . . In Germany, before the Hitlerites were strong enough to persecute living Jews they battled at night with the dust of dead ones, destroying gravestones and otherwise profaning burial grounds in about 100 German towns and cities.
"Now Vienna is being washed under by the wave of Hitlerism. Shall we permit the earthly remains of Herzl to rest any longer in a land over which the Hakenkreuz casts its shadow?
"We are at the threshold of the 18th Congress. Among the many important issues which face us, we must not lose sight of this holy duty towards our leader. Thirty years procrastination is indeed enough."

A simple qigong exercise is introduced here that will help you increase your energy and help focus it into your dantien, the energy center at about 1 1/2 inches below your navel in the center of your body. Practice this exercise first thing in the morning. For those who are challenged with disorders, practice of this exercise can be done as many as three times a day. You can do the first six steps slowly, letting tension dissolve and drain downward from your body.
This standing posture is the basic form from which all qigong and tai chi movements begin and it is necessary to practice it regularly. (1) Standing Taoist Meditation is based on this posture, but it has several variations. Tranquility and letting go of distracting thoughts are required. The muscles of your body should neither be too tense or too relaxed. Be calm and relaxed but alert. Wear shoes if you are in a place that has a cold floor. Here are the tips on how to do it:
1. Place your feet at about shoulder-width apart, feet are parallel and pointing straight ahead. The knees are bent and the knee caps do not go past the toes. Relax the knees and the hips, allowing the hips to scoop forward a bit so that the tailbone points to the ground. When you are doing this, do not force the hips into this position, allow it to relax to a comfortable position. Let the weight of your body relax and be centered around your dantien.
2. Place your tip of your tongue on the hard palate, letting it gently rest there. This connects the Du and Ren meridians. Note your head position, using a mirror for feedback if you have no one else with you, making sure that it is not tilted to either side nor is it leaning forward or backward. Then, look straight ahead to a point that is directly in front of you and close you eyes, which will help you relax. Relax your face and neck muscles. To help relax the neck, visualize a string attached to the top of your head which is holding it up.
3. Allow the shoulders to relax downward, then relax the elbows and wrists. Keep some space open at the arm pits since this is the top of the right and left extraordinary energy channels which extend down the torso to the hips.
4. Relax the chest downward and relax the belly and the sides of your body.
5. Relax your upper and then the lower back. Relaxing the lower back is essential for helping build up energy in the lower dantien. If this is difficult, then other exercises will be suggested later that can help you work towards that goal.
6. Relax your upper thighs, knees, calves, ankles and feet all the way to your toes, allowing the energy to drain into the floor.
7. Gently contract the anus and then pull in the buttock muscles as if you need to stop a bowel movement, then relax.
8. Gently click the teeth together 36 times (36 is a magic number in Taoism) and then roll the tongue 3 times in one direction and then 3 times in the other direction. Then do a rinsing motion like you have mouthwash and do this until the saliva builds up. Then swallow and imagine it going down to your lower dantien. You can do this exercise three times.
Notes: This Taoist meditation exercise is recommended in situations that are described in Traditional Chinese Medicine as having excessive heat. It helps with digestion and boosts the immune system, and it has been recommended for patients with cancer. (2)
