Clarets Find a Fiver in Stroll through Forest
Turf Moor
Saturday 14th March 2009 @ 3pm KO
Attendance: 13055
It has been some time since we last tonked a side, but we certainly did that yesterday at Turf Moor in our 50th game of the season. Struggling Nottingham Forest, trying to avoid the drop, were the visitors and they must have wondered what had him them after conceding five goals by the time the final whistle went.
Our dominance was so great the 5-0 final score line could well have been even more, but this result was just the tonic we needed with three more points on the board plus a boost to our goal difference. We have now scored 9 goals in the last two matches and the Clarets will be hoping their form and goal scoring touch continues in our next three matches, all tricky away games. We face Ipswich at Portman Road this Tuesday night followed by a long trek down to Devon to play Plymouth next Saturday. The International break will then be a welcome respite before we travel to Pride Park to play Derby County on Saturday April 4th.
The result yesterday took us into 5th place on 61 points although we could drop one place today if Cardiff defeat Bristol City away from home. We are however now just three points behind third place Reading (although have played one more game) and two points behind Sheffield United, a side we still have to play at home. Crucially, Preston in 6th place are still one point behind us and we have that game in hand.
The only bad news for the Clarets yesterday was that Steve Thompson was stretchered off with an ankle injury after only 8 minutes played and everybody is anxiously awaiting news of the seriousness of the injury. He looks certain to miss the next couple of games and will be having a scan on his ankle to assess the extent of the ligament damage.
There was also concern ahead of the match that injuries could prevent Christian Kalvenes, Chris McCann and Kevin McDonald from being selected against Forest. In the end all players were named in the sixteen with Kalvenes and McCann making the starting eleven.
Coyle, with no injury concerns or suspensions to worry about did not in the end ring any changes to the sixteen that were selected for the Palace game and so once more Jay Rodriguez had to be content with a place on the bench with Martin Paterson partnering Steve Thompson up front. Jay probably thought he might be in with a chance of starting his first match this season for the Clarets after his well taken 4th goal and clincher late on in the Palace game but Coyle remained loyal to his star striker despite Paterson looking tired and off the pace in recent matches.
Our line-up was therefore once more:
Jensen, Williams, Carlisle, Caldwell, Kalvenes, Alexander, Elliott, McCann, Blake, Paterson, Thompson
Subs: Penny, Gudjonsson, McDonald, Eagles, Rodriguez.
Referee, Dean Whitestone from Northamptonshire got the game underway on a sunny but blustery day at the Turf.
Steven Thompson was stretchered off with a potentially serious ankle injury after a strong challenge from Wes Morgan in the 8th minute giving the opportunity for young Jay Rodriguez to come on and make a mark.
The game in the first half was to be honest a pretty scrappy affair with few chances for either side but it was livened up in the 19th minute after the Clarets were awarded a free kick near the left side touchline. Robbie Blake hit a superb curler into the top right hand corner of the net over the stunned Forest keeper, Paul Smith. The Clarets now sought to extend their lead and seven minutes before half-time they succeeded thanks to some more Blake magic. Weaving in and out inside the box beating defenders left, right and centre he finally got a cross in with Elliott well-placed in the six yard box to steamroller it home.
So a pretty comfortable 2-0 lead for the Clarets at half-time without having broken sweat. Owen Coyle predictably made no changes for the start of the second half whilst Billy Davies replaced McCleary with Garner.
It didn`t take long for the Clarets to further increase their lead with just 6 minutes of the second half played. Martin Paterson flicked on a looping ball to the back post for Carlisle to thunder in and a score with a powerful header to make it 3-0 with Forest now looking in all sorts of disarray.
Four minutes later and disarray turned to disaster for Forest as the Clarets extended their lead even further thanks to a stunning goal from Jay Rodriguez, one that must surely be a contender for this year`s Goal of the Season. Rodriguez got the better of the defender outside the box, turning inside to shoot from 25 yards. The keeper had no chance as the curling ball sailed into the net to make it 4-0 Clarets with some Forest fans now heading for the exits already with still 35 minutes to play.
Another inspired substitution by Coyle saw Gudjonsson come on for McCann after 69 minutes, two minutes after Eagles had replaced Blake. Joey`s first touch was to take a free-kick from fully 40 yards out. The ball was smashed in true Gudjonsson style and was just wide of target. Gudjonsson though did finally score on 73 minutes after Forest failed to clear their lines. The ball nicely dropped to him and he hit it on the volley from 18 yards out to score the Clarets fifth and final goal of the afternoon although we did have further chances to extend that lead.
Eagles tried a great pass but just failed to find Rodriguez in the 75th minute
McGugan almost got Forest a consolation goal from a free kick with 79 minutes played but Jensen managed to tip the ball over.
On 85 minutes, Paterson hit the side netting from a tight angle after a Alexander free kick taken quickly caught Forest off guard.
The referee finally blew for time with Clarets fans ecstatic and Forest fans demoralised. The Clarets to be honest have probably played far better and lost plus Forest were simply not at the races today. The goals though were opportunist and very well taken with the result setting us up nicely for our play-offs challenge. We have now won three league games on the trot and we will be looking to make that four away to Ipswich at Portman Road this Tuesday night.
We shall leave the last word to the gaffer, Owen Coyle who in his post-match interview said:
'There was never five goals in the game but the bottom line is we were clinical. All season we have been creating a host of chances, but this helps the goal difference. We have got some gifted players in the offensive third of the field and we did try and get the ball down but the pitch is not helping us in the way we like to play.'
Burnley: Jensen, Williams, Carlisle, Caldwell, Kalvenes, Elliott, Alexander, McCann (Gudjonsson 69), Blake (Eagles 67), Thompson (Rodriguez 8), Paterson.
Subs Not Used: Penny, McDonald.
Goals: Blake 19, Elliott 39, Carlisle 51, Rodriguez 55, Gudjonsson 73.
Nott'm Forest: Smith, Chambers, Morgan, Perch, Gunter, McCleary (Garner 46), Cohen, Osbourne (McGugan 78), Tyson, McSheffrey (Thornhill 75), Earnshaw.
Subs Not Used: Gamble, Moloney.
Booked: Cohen, Garner.
Ref: Dean Whitestone (Northamptonshire).
Star Player
Robbie Blake you would have thought might have done enough to secure the award after his superb free kick for the opening goal and his jinxing magic and assist for Elliott to get the second. He was certainly running the Forest defence ragged, especially in the first half although he did blow hot and cold and seemed to tire in the second half before being substituted after 67 minutes
Jay Rodriguez was given the opportunity to shine for most of the match after coming on from the bench to replace the injured Thompson after just 8 minutes. He rose to the occasion too and put on a creditable display sealing his performance with a cool, wonder goal in the second half.
I think bearing in mind the concept of Vital Burnley`s Star Player award doesn`t always simply mean the one that performed the best but could also mean the one that showed the most promise or delighted the crowd with individual effort, we will give the award to Jay after he scored that stunning goal and proved he can perform consistently well for longer than a few minutes in the second half.

The best Mac M4V to 3GP Converter to convert iTunes/QuickTime M4V to 3GP for 3G phones
December 29, 2013 4:35 pm / Posted by Bill Smith to Video Tips
Follow @BillSmi97843805
I got some M4V files from iTunes and now I want to import them into my cell phone to play back. However, I found that this kind of files cannot run smoothly in the device. I'm thinking how to make them work with a relatively easy way. Can you show me some clues?
Well, as we know, M4V is just a kind of MP4, and we could say this is an HD version of MP4, featuring small in size and high in quality. It was first developed by Apple Inc. and now widely used in the video downloading and sharing websites. So you can meet M4V files whether in the video websites or Apple products like iTunes or QuickTime. M4V is widely used on the Internet, but to the mobile devices, it's another story.
Just like the people who asked above, there still have troubles when you play back M4V files on cell phones, especially in 3G phones. That is because that M4V has not yet been accepted by the phones. Here what you need to do is to use some Video Converter to help you convert M4V to 3GP, the best supported format for 3G phones and featuring really small in size for 3G phones to play back smoothly.
To do this conversion, the Mac M4V to 3GP Converter can help you a lot in converting all the video format to the target formats you want on Mac OS. You can output common formats like 3GP, 3G2, 3GPP, 3GPP2, MPG, MP4, MOV, etc. and also output the format for devices or programs like iPhone, iPad, PSP, Samsung products, Android devices, etc.
This converter can be really easy to use and you can learn the exact usage by keeping reading this article. I'll show you the step-by-step process for you in the following passage.
Secure Download
Secure Download
Download and install the Mac M4V to 3GP Converter
For the first step, you can just download the free trial with the download link above to have a try on this video converter. Then remember to get it installed. And you can launch the program for ready. If you see a window to remind you to regislater, you can just click "Ask me later" button.
Import M4V files to the converter
In this step, you can click the "Add File" button on the top left corner, then you can select the files that you want to the converter. Here, the batch converting is available for you to convert bunches of videos at a time.
Select the target output format
In order to make M4V files playable in 3G phones, you should find out the 3GP output format in the format column. To make it, you can hit the format icon beside the imported files, or to strike the "Convert to" bar, you'll see a format column, and you can find 3GP by choosing "Common Video" to "3GP-AMR_NB(*.3gp)".
Before oconverting, you can also do some further setting like to set the audio encoder, channels, sample rate, bitrate, or video encoder, resolution, something like that. Just click the "Setting" button beside "Convert to" bar to achieve that.
Convert M4V to 3GP
This should be the most easy step here. You just need to click the big round orange button on the right side, then the conversion would be start. After the conversion, you can quickly find your converted format by hitting the "Open" button under the "Setting" button.

This week's Global View column takes a look at The People's Bank's recent pronouncement to start unpegging the yuan from the dollar:
By announcing plans to reform this fixed-rate regime, enhance exchange rate flexibility, and "enable the market to play a fundamental role in resource allocation," China is finally signaling a willingness to allow supply and demand to determine the value of its money. Given China's trade surplus and all of the investment dollars that are flowing into China, the consensus is that China's currency should appreciate quite a bit -- with some economists suggesting that a natural exchange rate is closer to 4 or 5 RMB to the dollar rather than the 6.8 RMB to the dollar rate that exists today.
Although it's unlikely that we will see a rapid 50% rise in the value in the RMB (for reasons I'll talk about below), this move does matter for both China and for the world.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A large yacht has caused a traffic commotion on land, blocking part of a central Ohio highway during the evening rush hour.
A tractor-trailer carrying the white boat on Interstate 270 was unable to fit beneath an overpass Wednesday and had to be turned around on the highway, which encircles Columbus. Police temporarily blocked part of northbound I-270 on the city's east side so that the tractor-trailer could travel the wrong way on the interstate and exit.
It wasn't clear where the cargo originated, but police told The Columbus Dispatch that it was "a million-dollar yacht" headed to Cleveland.
Traffic in the area returned to normal later Wednesday evening.

The final event of our advanced, international cooking section at school is called the capstone. It's a multi-course meal the class creates a theme and menu for, and it's supposed to be a showcase for the cooking techniques and skills we've learned at school. In this case, "too many cooks" wasn't a quaint little saying, it was a reality.
What actually started out as a pan-Asian menu morphed into a contemporary Hawaiian theme through the influence of four Hawaiian natives in class and those who couldn't see past a tray of dim sum to include the rest of Asia. Then there were 18 different opinions about the menu, recipes, who should cook/serve what, and you get the idea. On top of it all was our chef instructor who had severe mood swings, temper tantrums, loved to throw entire pans of food into the trash if he didn't like the taste of it and droned on endlessly about all the chefs he knew, the lavish parties he throws, that he doesn't have to pay for drinks anywhere in town because everyone knows him and loves him, and….zzzzzzzzzz. Hell's Kitchen, anyone?
There were a number of false starts as we sliced away at the task. The curry soup went through several variations until a delicious version with chicken broth, coconut milk, mushrooms, eggplant and green curry emerged. The same thing happened to red snapper with pineapple glaze, char sui beef and guava cupcakes, each version being an improvement on the one before. Except for the cupcakes.
I was on the dessert team and one of my assignments was mini guava cupcakes. I tried four different variations of the first recipe, adding or subtracting guava nectar, orange zest, cream and pineapple juice. I was never too jazzed about any of them, but I got positive feedback on the 4th version, so I went with that. What I finally figured out was a great lesson in cooking – I just don't like guava! But the cool thing was I was able to make something from it that other people really enjoyed, and that's a great feeling.
We successfully produced our event – 30+ guests enjoyed an amuse bouche of seared ahi wrapped in nori, then flash fried in tempura batter and served with wasabi aioli; appetizer plate of coconut prawn, chicken yakitori and lumpia with chili sauce; tropical fruit salad; green curry soup with chicken; intermezzo of mango sherbet served in tropical fruit juice; three entree choices consisting of char sui beef, kalua pork with lomi salmon and red snapper in pineapple glaze, served with sauteed baby bok choy with shitake mushroom sauce and jasmine rice; and the dessert plate – macadamia short bread cookie served with a marbled ice cream of toasted coconut and Japanese green tea and a DELICIOUS mini guava cupcake! I've included the recipe for you here – I'd love to have your feedback –
Guava Cupcakes – yield: 16 full size cupcakes
9 oz. butter
12 oz. sugar
2/3 t. salt
7 oz. egg whites
15 oz. cake flour
1 1/4 t. baking powder
1 oz. cream
12 oz. can frozen guava nectar
1/4 t. vanilla extract
grated zest of one orange
3 oz. guava nectar (the remainder of can)
2 oz. corn starch
8 oz. whipping cream
1 oz. powdered sugar
1 T. vanilla extract
2 T. coconut – toasted
Have all ingredients at room temperature.
Place butter in the mixing bowl and with the paddle attachment, beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the sugar, cream the mixture at moderate speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
Add the eggs a little at a time. After the eggs are beaten in, mix until light and fluffy. This step will take about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Add the sifted dry ingredients, alternating with the liquids:
Add one-fourth of the dry ingredients – mix just until blended in.
Add one-third of the liquid – mix just until blended in.
Repeat until all ingredients are used, scraping down the sides of the bowl for even mixing.
Pour equal amounts of batter into muffin cups.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes
Remove from oven and glaze immediately while still hot.
In a small saucepot, mix guava nectar with a slurry of cornstarch and water, heating until reached the desired consistency.
Combine first three ingredients in a mixing bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.
Fill a pastry bag with the whipped cream, and using a star tip, frost each cupcake.
Use the remaining glaze to drizzle on top of the frosted cupcakes.
Sprinkle each cupcake with a little of the toasted coconut.

Local officials are waiting for a signal to end months of watering restrictions, but that's not expected to happen in the near future, state officials said.
No movement has been made toward changing the watering restrictions that were imposed statewide in June, said Nap Caldwell, manager of the state Environmental Protection Division's water resources management program.
"There are no predictions (of an end date) at this time," Mr. Caldwell said.
Augusta's year-to-date rainfall averages are 2.49 inches below normal, and 4.83 more inches of precipitation must fall before the region officially moves out of drought conditions.
Richmond and Columbia counties were operating under local water conservation schedules when the state restrictions took effect to address dry weather and low reservoir levels.
Columbia County officials eliminated the 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. watering restrictions Sept. 19 to match Richmond County's watering system. But even the weakened restrictions were probably not necessary, said Bill Clayton, Columbia County director of water and sewer.
"We would have actually dropped all of our restrictions, but the state said `no,"' he said. "Other parts of the state are not faring as well, (and) the ground water needs time to recharge."
In South Carolina, Edgefield County Water and Sewer Authority Administrator Richard Shaffer said the county is pumping nearly 50 percent less water than it did this summer.
"We're in good shape," Mr. Shaffer said. "But we've never lifted our (voluntary watering restrictions) because the state has not rescinded its moderate drought status."
Despite more favorable weather conditions, Georgia water resources are not up to acceptable levels, Mr. Caldwell said.
"We can't afford to get caught in a false sense of security," he said. "We could find ourselves next spring wondering whether we pulled back too soon."
Brantley Kouglar, Richmond County's water production superintendent, said, "We're just sitting on go as far as when they give the word."
Residents and businesses in Richmond and Columbia counties using underground systems or multiple sprinklers will continue to follow an even/odd watering schedule that matches street addresses with the day of the week. No watering is allowed Mondays, and there are no time restrictions. Residents with wells and streams must follow state restrictions.

Reliable Lithium Polymer battery of the device ensures high quality and 500+ recharge cycles over the life of the battery.
I've seen lots of reviews on the H1 and it's ditlanfey the one I want to buy. Two last questions. There are level read-outs, but how can I control the attenuation during recording if something loud happens? I've seen there is an Auto Level switch Sorry for sounding thick, but isn't that the same as AGC?I'm a Photographer/Steadicam operator by trade but I want to exploit all the features on my camera. I've always had help from a sound-men before now.
I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of
content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two
images. Maybe you could space it out better?
You can plug the zoom h1 into your 7d with a special cable but this doesn't fix the AGC. It just lweros the audio level out of the h1 in order to accommodate the input levels needed on the 7d. There is software out there that will sync the audio for you, it's called dualeyes. Or syncing audio in your time line is easy enough to do as well. Just set your camera file label count to zero and do the same on your h1. Then when you start recording 1 goes with 1, 2 with 2 and so on.
There are awesome new models of high capacity battery chargers such as Limeade Blast and Anker Astro 3E appeared on the market
Great blog you have here but I wass wwondering if you knew of any message boards that cover the
same topics discussed in this article? I'd really love to be a part of community where I can
get feed-back from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

Locals perform in concert series
Published 8:00 pm, Thursday, October 26, 2006
For the 34th consecutive year, the popular 250-voice Michigan/Ohio Concert Choir will present their annual concert series in eight Michigan and Ohio cities. This years series will feature 10 concerts, including six special afternoon matinee performances.
Its called The Magic of Christmas, featuring favorite selections to launch the holiday season. For over three decades, this event has become a tradition for area concertgoers, with sold-out performances in each venue.
The Magic of Christmas mixes the most requested music of the holidays with production, pageantry, visuals, costuming, special effects, sound, special lighting, and above all, excellent musical talent. One favorite ingredient is audience participation and surprise gifts.
Produced and directed by internationally recognized musical creator, Thurlow Spurr, the concert includes the artistic musical talents or Rick Everitt, The CMI Orchestra, The Three Tenors, The Brotherhood, The Spirit Wind Dance Company, The Thurlow Spurr Singers, the Kids Khoir, Ron Wilson, Karen Jenkins, Cheryl Dilts, Brian Brown, Dan Evans, Frank Brown, Kay Rogers, David Sumler, Paula Ross-Durow, Dan Fernelius, Laura Petrak, and Jim Fort as well as other soloists and musicians from the area.
Mr. Spurr describes this years presentation as Its a musical explosion of sight and sound. Each year some surprises are added that will thrill the audience. We chose The Magic of Christmas to celebrate the Christ of Christmas at a time when it is becoming politically correct to leave Him out. We invite our faithful concert patrons to come back an bring their friends. Its a must for those who love the Christmas season. Many areas sold out early last year, so get your tickets now.
Carol McBride of Port Austin, Sandy Zeitler of Elkton and Nancy Nieschulz of Bay Port are part of the cast performing in this concert series. They personally invite all the people of this region to secure tickets early, due to standing-room only status that usually applies to their very unique and special event. For all ticket sales and information call 1-800-993-SING (7464).

All of our latest TVs have Freeview built-in, which means switching to digital is easy as you don't have to worry about purchasing a separate set top box.
Just plug your Sony TV in your regular TV aerial and follow the easy on screen set up guide to enjoy all the free-to-air channels available in your area.
What Is It?
The digital switchover is the process of moving from analogue to digital TV. Between September 2012 and December 2013 the analogue TV signal will be switched off and replaced with new digital signals.
How will it affect me?
If you have an analogue TV you'll need to upgrade to one that can receive the digital transmission inorder to keep watching TV, or purchase a separate set top box.
What can I do?
By purchasing a new Sony BRAVIA you'll have Freeview built-in to the TV. This means that you won't need a separate set top box to enjoy all the free-to-air channels.
To see Sony's range of Freeview TVs please click here.
How to set up
Setting up freeview with a Sony Bravia TV is as simple as plugging it in to your standard (UHF) aerial.
Once the TV is switched on follow the simple on screen instructions and it will automatically find all the available channels in the area.
For a more complete guide in how to set up your Bravia TV with freeview, allow Tuki to explain in this quick video below.

It's a new month and a new year.......school wise!
I guess I'm pretty happy, or way happier than the last post! =3
Again without saying too much, I think we're on the same brain-length and have everything as "normal" as it can possibly be.
(It makes me happy. Honestly. :])
Anyways since school has already started, I'm pretty much f*cked for the first couple of months >.>
I have the WORST sleeping habits and it's going to take more than a month to fix it >.>
I've honestly considered night school =3
and I'm still am.
Anyways, a lot of things are gonna change and I know it. I can practically feel it in my blood or whats left of me....and I do mean everything! (Not Being Just a Dramatic)
I'm not sure how big of a change will happen, I just know it's gonna happen, because after all this is our last year together....I know it seems far-fetched the idea of a big change happening JUST because it's the last year but usually I'm always right.....(I'm not lying/not in a arrogance of way either) but it's true.
When you really think about it, we all have different lives and aspiration. We all want something different, the thing that brought us together is going possibly destroy what we have and it'll be one big mess when years later we wonder what the hell happened....
I'm a dreamer, I'm a realist, I'm an optimist, I'm a child, I'm a sadist....
(Gotta Love Tumblr <3 <3 <3)
Anyways I think that's all I want to say or can say because I am freakin' tired Dx
....Smile darling. and they won't see the blood dripping from your sleeve.....
-</3 Fairy
Things in my life that are indescribable but then again it's only takes one word to describe everything. Ohh and possibly "major" things! =]]

Okay, so as the match-ups for the ACC-Big Ten Challenge were being leaked this morning, it became clear that Pitt wasn't going to land one of the heavyweights from the B1G. That's not surprising. Pitt will not be considered in the preseason as one of the top 5 or 6 teams in the ACC. So, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan St., Ohio St. and Indiana weren't going to be likely opponents. Among the best of the rest there would have been Iowa, Illinois and Purdue. But Iowa and Purdue got leaked and their opponents were not Pitt.
So, more and more likely it was going to be a Pennsylvania battle.
And indeed it will be. Penn State comes to the Pete on Tuesday, December 3.
Now the Nits will be better than they were this past year. They have a bunch of decent players coming back from injury, including Tim Frazier.
But, from helping the overall strength of Pitt's non-con schedule it won't do much. So that's the bad news. Also John Johnson won't be eligible to play for Penn State for that game.
I'm still relatively happy with the game. There really was no reason for Pitt and Penn State to stop playing basketball. Other than the fact that Penn State was really tired of being embarrassed. Hopefully this will be the spark to renew this as an annual game.
This is akin to playing Robert Morris, but of course Bobby Mo is better, but a huge Pitt win over the Pedo's will appear bigger in the next day papers to the uninformed.
And it's all about perception.
ACC 1…..Big Joke …0
No excuse not to start a home/away yearly game with WVU each year as well. If they added WVU game next season to the Pete that would probably give them two 'sellouts' which is pretty rare for nonconference games at the Pete.
We didn't schedule it, ESPN did.
I don't like playing the Pedo's either, however, we're going to playing them 4 years in a row starting in 2014 or 2015 in football anyway.
Remember when Cornhole made a big deal of adding 2 more Pitt/Ped State football games to the first two that were scheduled.
Might as well give them a beatdown in hoops and again ESPN is insisting and money rules.
Maybe if we wanted a real test in the non-con, add Temple to the schedule. That would help the RPI. Poor Temple they waited for the like 30 years to finally get into the BigEast for hoops and now after the conf. blowup, they're in the AAC. That is what you call ……hard luck.
next year we could lose.
Big Ten has early rankings of the "best" games.
7th out of 12, not bad, thought it would be #12.
As for the game, if we beat them by 15 or 20 i'll love it.
If we win by 2 or 3 or get upset, I won't like it.
I'll let you know after the game.
No way we lose to Pedo State. Patterson goes for 20 and Uchebo has his first double/double with 17 & 15. JR has 14 and 10 assts. Newkirk has 12 & 6. Zanna will have his usual big non con stats, 16 and 10.
Pitt wins in a rout, 81-55
The game will draw in our markets regardless, but more sets across the nation, however so slight, will tune in because of the brand.
Not so were it MD…
Common guys…the money is in national sets, not whether the game is number 1 in the Mon Valley.
Now pleezzzeee go out and get your mullets trimmed.
Your confusing the Penn State basketball brand with "Pitt v Penn State" brand. The 2 are not the same.
Would you rather sell advertising and get 10% of a market of 1 million or 3% of a market of 100 million?
I realize Pederson is the devil and responsible for every negative thing that happens to Pitt. Or at least that is how many seem to view things. But, really. Now you are reaching. And frankly this is the sort of baseless complaint that delegitimizes the valid issues with Pederson's tenure by making it seem like people just want to blame him for any and everything.
Pederson has no say in the ACC/B1G Challenge. He can provide some input to the ACC Commissioner and/or whoever the ACC has working with ESPN and B1G on this, but this almost entirely ESPN's call. Just as the Big East had the ability to screw Pitt last year in the SEC/Big East series. All Pitt can do is leave the dates of the challenge open and wait to find out the opponent.
ESPN wants games that draw eyeballs. The conferences want competitive games. That's why the expected top teams from both conferences are facing each other. That's why the ACC doesn't randomly exclude teams from it. They drop the teams that had the lowest RPI, in this case Clemson and VT. Pitt is expected to be somewhere in the 6-10 range of the ACC. Once you eliminate about half the big10 opponents, it really comes down to fitting home-away situations and especially what will make the best TV ratings. A Pitt-Penn St. game will do much better for ESPN than a Pitt-Iowa or Pitt-Purdue.
Plus we could lose which would be really bad if the only real D1 team we played in the non-con beat us.
This way we can destroy the Pedos and then have all our traditional non-con cupcakes.
Can't wait to play North Florida & Bethune-Cookman again.
Pitt has a bunch of underachievers + 4 new players.
This might not be the "cakewalk" many of you expect.
No win situation is how I see this one, so Pitt better win.
Get serious, we have 3 of our starting 5 back.
Our bench (even a new bench) can beat Ped State by at least 15 point.
Ped State won like 2 games in the Big Joke this year.
I predict a huge Pitt win. On the order of 81-55.
And Pitt will do much better than 6-10 in the ACC.
The ACC is not what it used to be. Miami won the conf and the ACC tournament this year and Marquette beat them pretty easily in the Big Dance. Other than Duke & UNC, we will have equal or better talent than the rest of the ACC.
They only had 4 teams in the Dance this year.
My apologies. Did not intend to suggest that you wear a mullet; I no longer have the option!
Pitt will be fine in the ACC so long as Kane doesn't blow up the team.
I understand you are upset with Peterson about other issues (which is fair game) but this is not one of them.
The AD is NOT in charge of outside scheduling, since they started having all kinds of crazy tournaments, and conference challenges that are all made for television.
Even the Hawaii tourney's, the Madison Square Garden tourneys, the tourney in Puerto Rico etc. etc.
If you get invited to one of those, you don't tell them who you'll play.
As for the conference, hell, we're not even offically in until July 1, and you want us to start telling them who and when we'll play??
How about winning the conference, or at least finishing in the top 4 for a few years before we start demanding to be heard.
Ya, that's just what we want, to start off in a new conference rufusing to play in the ACC/Big 10 tourney.
It's well documented that I'm no fan of Smug Smilin' Steve, but good Lord, give it a rest, this has absolutely nothing to do with him.
Guess who gets to decide the games???
Yep, the people that made up the challenge, and the people who are paying for the challenge.
Maryland's AD had no say so in it either.
You seem to think that Pitt is still a perennial top 15 team and a titan of college basketball. This is no longer 2006-2009.
We had a losing season, oh wait, the CBI helped make it a winning season two years ago.
Last year, allthough an improvement, was not a great year by any means.
Ya, we finished fourth, beating no one. Georgetown while they were in a tailspin and Syracuse once.
We got beat by Louisville, Syracuse, Notre Dame in what one could argue was the most humilitating loss Pitt hoops has ever suffered, Marquette twice I believe, along with losses to Cincinnati and Rutgers.
Not to mention, the creme de la creme, blowout humiliation on national tv in the first round of the NCAA tourney.
I'm not sure who you think we are, but, we're not.
I'm sure they are happy to have us, they have said so publicly.
And yes, I am glad the ACC would have us, otherwise, I'd be looking at a hoops schedule that had SMU, Houston and Central Florida on it.
So, how could it be a no win situation?
If we win, we get a win like the other lame non-con's we play, and with Pitt being so good, as you say, no way we shouldn't blow them out. Right??
Besides, with the way Pitt schedules non-con games, this will probably be the highlight game!!!
I would just tell you, try to calm down, PITT was NOT slighted.
We're just getting into the conference, actually we're not even in it yet.
No, I have absolutely no insider knowledge.
I do know, that if ESPN is paying, they are looking for the best matchups.
Yes, I think there would be some input from the AD's and coaches.
But minimal. They would only be suggestions.
Who knows, we don't know that Smug Smilin' Steve didn't say, "we'd like a rematch with Michigan".
How do we know he didn't say something like that.
And yes, we do have some cache as a basketball power still, I was being a bit hard on us, to make a point.
Come on spirt, it's like any other job or place, we are the new kid.
Frankly, allthough the Pitt-PSU rivalry is in football only, I would imagine someone at the network probably said something like, "hey, how about Pitt-Penn St.?? They're football rivals, they're starting to play again in a couple years, they're only a couple hours away from each other, why not, how about Pitt-Penn St?"
Spirit, let's put it this way. In a couple years, if we finish in the top 4 or 5 of the ACC and are ranked in the top 15 again, I will be right there with you if we get stuck playing Iowa or someone like that.
It's all about the money and match ups and marketing.
Believe me, if we rise to the top 10 again, and beat on Duke and UNC a few times, it will be
Pitt v. Mich St. Pitt v. Indiana, Pitt v. OSU.
Good night my friend, you're a die hard and I love it!!!
Think about this. Clemson, Wake Forest, and Virginia Tech didn't even get asked to play.
Sure, there hoops are so-so, but Wake and Clemson are charter members.
I'm sure they probably have some fans saying, why do the three new kids get to play in the tourney, why shouldn't they have to wait.
My point is, I really don't take it like a slight.
Everything I've heard and read, from Swofford, the ACC commish, to other AD's, and coaches, has all been very pro Pitt, and they are accepting us as one of their own.
Like I said, a few years from now, and we're one of the top 4 teams and we draw a dog game, then I'll be right with you.

"I'm really trying to make a change in the industry," she says. "I'm trying to have more quality clothing for curvy women."
"Be your own woman. Be your own kind of role model. And remember that the women around you are women you can lift up. You can change their lives." ~ Ashley Graham for Glamour Magazine
Glamour magazine has named curvy supermodel Ashley Graham as one of the 'Women of the Year 2016.' See all winners here.
This news is no surprise for me at all. Ashley is making waves every week and sometimes several times a week, she has achieved the superstar status since being on the cover of SI swim. We saw her on the cover of so many fashion magazines, although one in Vogue is still waiting to happen. We saw her at so many events, rocking the red carpet with costume made dresses and she always represents us plus size women in a beautiful way. Ashley has been featured on the covers of Elle Quebec, London Times, Cover Magazine, Style Magazine and The Edit, and has been featured in the Shape Issues of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour and Elle UK. She has appeared regularly in several Levi's, Calvin Klein and Marina Rinaldi campaigns; her list of regular clients includes Nordstrom, H&M, Old Navy, Bloomingdale's and more. Besides this examplary resume, she also turned into a Designer for lingerie with Addition Elle and for swimsuit with Swimsuitsforall. Although she said many times that she doesn't want to be labelled as plus size in which I don't fully agree, I still think that she deserves to be admired as a role model for young women. She has been involved in media controversies ever since her Lane Bryant ad was banned, because it showed a curvy and sexy woman which Ashley is undoubtedly.
Therefore, we use her nomination as 'Woman of the Year,' to share our favourite images of her.
We from Style & Curve Magazine also created a lot of unwanted online controversy whenever we shared an image of her. The reactions of the fans towards her images go from praising her to shaming her as 'fat,' 'obese,' 'unhealthy,' and the shamers accuse us of 'promoting obesity.' All these accusations are pure nonsense and we ignore it, because we know better. Nevertheless, this will not stop us promoting beautiful, sexy, confident and curvy women like Ashley Graham – EVER!
Kind regards,
Lyz Lupo

Hey iPad, iPod, and iPhone owners, I've got some news for you! You can play Pogo on your iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch. No, this isn't the Pogo Games for iPhone app that came out last year, this is full Pogo.com and Club Pogo browsing, ranking up and earning badges, using a program called Splashtop Remote Desktop. Splashtop connects to your PC or Mac and allows you to control it via your iOS device. Pretty much everything that you can do with your PC or Mac, you can do with Splashtop…including Pogo.
Look, I'm playing Lottso! on my iPad!
To get started, download Splashtop 2 Remote Desktop for iPhone & iPod or Splashtop 2 Remote Desktop for iPad.
You'll also need to install the Splashtop Streamer on your PC or Mac on the same network as your iPhone/iPod Touch or iPad. Once you've got both the app and the streamer installed, you should be set. You can refer to the Splashtop Remote web site for technical support in getting started.
Once you're connected to your desktop and controlling it via your iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch, the controls will take a little getting used to, especially the double-finger drag to scroll in a window.
Luckily, most games require only a tap. If you need the keyboard, there's an icon in the lower right corner that will bring up the iOS keyboard plus a few extra controls.
All Pogo games, whether they're Flash or Java, work just fine using Splashtop Remote Desktop. Some games are easier to control with a touchscreen than others. BonBon shared that she actually got better scores in Pogo Bowl from her iPad than she did with her PC! Special thanks to her for sharing this app with us!
Please share your tips for playing Pogo games with the Splashtop Remote Desktop app in a comment below.
I personally cannot provide good tech support for this app, due to my limited knowledge of computer networks. All tech support questions should be directed to Splashtop, but if you have a question feel free to ask it here. Hopefully someone out there will know the answer! Thanks!

BART board approves contract with unions
Updated 6:26 pm, Thursday, January 2, 2014
BART directors finally approved a contract with the transit agency's largest unions Thursday, signaling the end to a months-long labor dispute that included a pair of strikes, a potential $44 million misstep by district negotiators, and plenty of posturing and finger-pointing on both sides.
"It was a tough negotiation, but we're here," board President Joel Keller said at the special meeting at BART's Oakland headquarters.
The revised agreement still has to be ratified by members of Service Employees International Union 1021 and Amalgamated Transit Union 1555, but leaders of both unions are recommending approval.

The ATU vote is set for Friday, with the SEIU ratification vote on Jan. 13.
"It's an agreement we're pleased with," said Pete Castelli, executive director of the SEIU local. "But it's going to take a long time to heal after the campaign BART ran against its unions."
A lone dissenter
Thursday's 8-1 vote didn't spackle over all the concerns, complaints and problems brought by the contentious contract talks. Director Zakhary Mallett, the lone dissenter, argued that the agreement was too expensive and wasn't in the district's long-term best interests.
"We accepted a strike and rewarded bad behavior," he said. The unions "went out on strike and we sweetened the deal."
Director Gail Murray said she had received hundreds of e-mails, many of them urging the district to accept a long strike rather than approve the contract.
Important to sign
But even though the cost of the ultimate agreement was more than Murray and many of the directors wanted to pay, it was important to sign the contract, she said.
"There are a lot of people who have no (transportation) alternative," she said. "And the Bay Area economy couldn't take a long strike."
Union officials weren't bubbling over with goodwill, charging that transit district officials, in concert with Bay Area business interests, brought on the strikes in an attempt to turn public opinion against the unions.
"This is something that should have been settled six months ago," said Chris Finn, an ATU negotiator.
The new agreement features a few changes from the contract both unions ratified in early November. Days later, BART management sought to revise that agreement, arguing that its negotiators had mistakenly signed off on a provision that granted workers up to six weeks of paid family leave, a change they said could cost the district as much as $44 million over the four-year life of the contract.
The board rejected that part of the contract on Nov. 21, leading to a hurried round of new talks.
The union finally agreed to drop the controversial provision in exchange for minor improvements in working conditions, bereavement leave eligibility and other contract changes that Castelli described as "not earthshaking."
Unchanged are the key provisions hammered out during the talks that ended the four-day October strike, including a 15.4 percent pay increase over the length of the contract, new worker contributions to their pension plans, an increase in the fixed payment for medical benefits and a variety of work rule changes, including new restrictions on overtime pay.
"There's a little bit of discomfort on both sides of the agreement," Keller said. But "if both sides are uncomfortable with what was approved, it's probably a good contract."
Fight isn't over
While both sides stressed the need for healing after the rough-and-tumble of the labor negotiations, the signatures on the contract aren't going to end the fight.
Keller already has said he wants to ban strikes by the unions to avoid a repeat of this year's troubles when a new contract comes up in four years. He plans to bring that proposal up at the board's first meeting in February.
"Strikes are terribly disruptive," he said. "We have to find a way in the future to better resolve these problems."
But union officials argued that strikes are an unwelcome but necessary part of collective bargaining and said that Keller's effort, which would need to be approved by the state Legislature or by voters, would go nowhere.

Former mobster Henry Hill died last night at the age of 69, and I must say I'm surprised: knowing him a bit, it's miraculous that he made it this long. His life story was the basis of the movie Goodfellas, as depicted by Ray Liotta and brilliantly told by Martin Scorsese, and anyone who's ever seen the flick has to admire a) how he managed to avoid getting whacked while in the mob b) how he managed to avoid getting whacked while in the Witness Protect Program and c) how he managed to avoid getting whacked after getting kicked out of the Witness Protection Program.
Given all this impressive dodging, I take some small pride in the following statement: I whacked Henry Hill.
Some background: About a decade ago, I cofounded a true crime magazine called Justice. The basic idea was that we could take a genre that worked tremendously on daytime TV (Judge Judy, People's Court and about a dozen copycats a the time), primetime TV ( a dozen variants of Law and Order and CSI), books (John Grisham, Scott Turow and a million others), etc. and translate that into a magazine that would fly off supermarket checkouts. I recruited Nancy Grace and Marcia Clark and all sorts of other legal luminaries. And as our mafia correspondent, I reached out to Henry Hill, who presumably knew both the cops and the goodfellas. The wiseguy who ratted out fifty members of the Lucchese family would now cover his old chums.
Having been booted from Witness Protection, in part due to cocaine addition and conspiring to deal drugs, Henry was out on his own and understandably a bit paranoid about who he dealt with. Contacting him required the kind of elaborate smoke signaling lost to North America two centuries ago. I would pass word through an intermediary that I wanted to talk, and then at random times that generally coincided with waking me up, some mysterious third party would call from a blocked number, and then patch in Henry.
We hit it off, mostly bonding over our shared love of food. He had been a chef in his post-mob days, and was working on a cookbook; I reviewed restaurants as a hobby. In a gravelly Brooklyn accent that came across like an agitated mumble, Henry began steering me to the places where the wiseguys ate, including Vincent's in Little Italy, and Don Peppe's near Kennedy Airport ("call it Don Pep's, or they'll know you don't belong"), where the predominantly male patrons really did wear tracksuits and the wine came home-brewed from the owner's garage.
It became hard to get him off the phone: Do-it-yourself witness protection can apparently be a lonely place. He would regale me with stories about the infamous Lufthansa Airlines heist in 1978, the largest cash robbery ($5 million) ever on American soil. "Anything that came through JFK, we could take a piece," he told me, adding, "We lived liked kings."
By the time I knew him, though, he was a king no more. He was desperate for money. Henry actually signed on in Justice's primordial days, before we even had a fleshed-out business plan. Since his $3,000 per column salary would only commence once we began publishing, he had helped me pass the hat from day one. I cohosted one dinner for prospective investors at Sparks, a Manhattan steakhouse infamous as the spot where John "The Dapper Don" Gotti rubbed out his predecessor, "Big Paul" Castellano. Henry finished our PowerPoint presentation with an offer they couldn't refuse. "Hi, this is Henry Hill," his prerecorded message announced menacingly, as a still from Goodfellas flashed on the screen. "I heard you're all eating at Sparks. A few years back, something bad happened to a friend of mine there. I don't want the same thing to happen to you, so I suggest you fork over the money." The whole group laughed -- nervously.
We eventually got it forked over, but by the time we were ready to launch, he had devolved back into addict mode. He moved from Washington State to Nebraska, and began calling me wantonly, his number carelessly popping into my phone, his slurred voice bemoaning his fate and occasionally cursing me out, over what I never knew since half his words were undecipherable. He was busted around that time for meth. Contribute even scraps of commentary about current mob cases (we always planned to have someone ghostwrite)? Fugghetaboutit.
There was no choice: I had to whack him. I replaced Henry with another mafiaso made famous by Hollywood, Joe Pistone, better known as "Donnie Brasco." Ray Liotta for Johnny Depp? Seemed like an upgrade. Pistone was sharp—when we had lunch, he would only sit at the corner seat of a corner table, so that no one could come at him from behind. And he was sober.
But Henry had clearly put some kind of Sicilian curse on us. Readers may have dug the true crime fare, but advertisers proved leery of Justice's sordid content. The magazine was gone within a year. And now so is Henry.

Birthday Special: Diego Maradona's most memorable quotes
One of the most outspoken figures in football, Diego Maradona is no stranger to soundbites. We pay tribute to the Argentinian legend on his birthday, with a collection of some of his most memorable quotes
One of the most outspoken figures in football, Diego Maradona is no stranger to soundbites. We pay tribute to the Argentinian legend on his birthday, with a collection of some of his most memorable quotes.
Diego Maradona
On his mother...
My mother thinks I am the best. And I was raised to always believe what my mother tells me.
On his rivalry with Pele...
"Why would you compare me to Pele? My mother said I'm stronger and that he played with players who couldn't even move."
"Pele should go back to the museum."
"The biggest and main difference between Pele and Maradona is I have the respect of all footballers, which Pele does not have. Pele is a friend of those who manage football. I am not friends with them. I am with the players"
"Usually, when you see him these days, it's only at award ceremonies next to the president of FIFA and looking like a doll that's being moved by remote control."
"I don't like comparisons with Pele because of the stupid things he says. He keeps on saying stupid stuff when he takes the wrong pills"
"There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen - me or Pele. Everyone would say me."
On Pele saying that Neymar is better than Messi...
"My God, that is just stupid. Maybe Neymar is the best player in the world, but only if you say that Messi is from a different planet."
"He took the wrong pill. Instead of taking the pill for before bedtime, he took his morning pill. He got confused. I suggest that next time he takes the right medication and that he changes his doctor."
On being voted FIFA's joint Player of the Century
"The people voted for me. Now they want me to share the prize with Pele. I'm not going to share the prize with anybody."
On sportsmanship...
"I was waiting for my teammates to embrace me and no one came, ... I told them, 'Come hug me or the referee isn't going to allow it.'"
On what football means to him...
"To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world."
On David Beckham..
"Beckham is a nice man and I'm sure he will reach 100 appearances for England. But he is just a good player, nothing more."
"There are hundreds of Beckhams playing football all over the world."
On what he thinks of himself...
You can say a lot of things about me, but you can never say I don't take risks.
"I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all, I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody."
"I am black or white, I'll never be grey in my life."
On the infamous goal against England in 1986 World Cup...
"It was the hand of God."
"It was as if we had beaten a country, more than just a football team."
Some years later on the 'Hand of God' goal...
"It was like pick-pocketing the English and stealing a win."
On his children...
"My legitimate kids are Dalma and Giannina. The rest are a product of my money and mistakes."
On why he smashed a photographer's car window in 2000...
"I did it with the hand of reason."
On George Bush...
"I think Bush is a murderer. I'm going to head the march against him stepping foot on Argentine soil."
On Michel Platini and the French...
"We all know what the French are like and Platini as a Frenchman thinks he knows it all."

Italian sex-slave wife sues hubby over '50 Shades...' bondage contract!
A 31-year-old woman from Italy, who signed a contract agreeing to sexual submission, is suing her husband for divorce and abuse
In a tale similar to that of the best-selling novel Fifty Shades of Grey, the woman from Padua signed the two-page document agreeing to certain activities.
The woman - who has not been identified- married the man who is 10 years older than her in 2006, The Daily Telegraph reported.
They split up last year and the woman began legal proceedings.
In the agreement, her husband is named as her master and it indicates that she would be a 'slave' to her spouse.
Against the accusation of physical abuse, her husband, a property manager, has argued that activities were consensual and she had signed the pact willingly.
She had signed it when she was 24 years old and he was her boyfriend.
The agreement lists there were two ways for the woman to ask her husband to stop during their activities - by either saying the safe word Mario or banging her hand three times against the nearest surface.
"The slave agrees to obey and to offer herself for the satisfaction of the desires of her master," the newspaper quoted the document as stating.
"The slave agrees to place her body at her master's disposition, to be used at his pleasure.
There is also a list of activities that the husband can not do including marking his wife.

Synonyms for either
Usage Notes
When the pronoun either is the subject and comes immediately before the verb, the verb is singular: Either is good enough. Either grows well in this soil. When either is followed by a prepositional phrase with a plural object, there is a tendency to use a plural verb, but a singular verb is more common: Either of them is (or are) good enough. Either of the shrubs grows (or grow) well in this soil. As an adjective either refers only to two of anything: either side of the river; using either hand. As a pronoun either sometimes occurs in reference to more than two ( either of the three children ), but any is more common in this construction ( any of the three children ). As a conjunction, either often introduces a series of more than two: The houses were finished with either cedar siding or stucco or brick. The pizza is topped with either anchovies, green peppers, or mushrooms. Usage guides say that the verb used with subjects joined by the correlative conjunctions either … or (or neither … nor) is singular or plural depending on the number of the noun or pronoun nearer the verb: Either the parents or the school determines the program. Either the school or the parents determine the program. Practice in this matter varies, however, and often the presence of one plural, no matter what its position, results in a plural verb: Either the parents or the school determine the program. In carefully edited writing, these correlative conjunctions are usually placed so that what follows the first correlative is parallel to what follows the second: The damage was done by either the wind or vandals or either by the wind or by vandals (not done either by the wind or vandals). See also neither.
