Mime -- love it or heave it?

I think constant dance in full-length ballets waters down the set dance pieces. It's like taking the recitative out of MARRIAGE OF FIGARO or any other opera in which recitative is integral to the work.
I would like to think the era during which mime was replaced with "expressive dance" was nearly past. I think the public is ready for mime again. And ballet composers could finally quit rolling in their graves.

Yep. No negotiation.
I don't care about tricks (12 pirouettes, 37 fouettees, ...) I care about mime.
Mime and acting are part of ballet characterization and serving a larger goal--the other is just self-aggrandisement.

I think the great Siegfrieds were great because they made you think it was the first time they did the ballet.

In swan lake, I think the mime is extremely important. I did not know the story of Swan Lake at all (yes, poor research before watching, my fault) and the mime is what helped me follow the story. Even still there were things I missed. Interpretive dance would not have helped. Flapping would not have helped. The mime was beautiful, and in my living room I was enjoying saying what I thought they were talking about. It made the story concrete.
So, the mime is necessary if the story is not know. But even when the story is known, it is beautiful and it makes you believe that the characters don't know what might happen next. To me it makes it more real.
Posted 22 June 2005 - 04:48 PM
I also thought the mime in the tv Swan Lake was well chosen and executed, though I'm no mime connoiseur. When Odette explains to Siegfried what happened to her and how she got in her fix, it was simple, direct, and clear. Better than a caption.
I was intrigued by your point that the mime, in a certain way, made it "more real" for you. I wonder how others, more familiar with the history of mime and the way its practiced in various European traditions, felt about it????

In particular, he pas d'actions and variations lose their expressive power if they're not understood to be the equivalents of arias and quartets and NOT like rezitativ...
The Kirov's 30-year-old Sleeping Beauty has TOO MUCH BOURREEING AROUND -- it takes the wonder away from the fairies's variations if everybody's on pointe all the time... and the court doesn't fall asleep in an interesting way....
Remy Charlip used to sing the following, to the tune of Odette's mime scene:
"i'm the swan queen,
please don't kill me,
or the wicked witch will get you, dearie.'
Pretty funny when he did it, but then he's a great ham....

I always liked Streisand in Funny Girl, confronting Siegfried with "Whaddya gonna do, shoot the svans? Dese lovelies? My svansgirls?"
I sometimes think that people who say "I don't like mime" have maybe been exposed to bad or amateurish mime that doesn't explain anything. I was watching Jean-Louis Barrault in "Les Enfants du Paradis" the other night and reflected that if all mime could be performed at that level of physical eloquence people would be lining up and demanding more, not less.
Paul's comparison to operatic recitative is to the point. You need the contrast -- otherwise it's like listening to those versions of Carmen where all the dialogue is cut or set to music.
Posted 22 June 2005 - 06:50 PM
For me it was Arthur Leeth - of Boston Ballet, who looked for all the world like Mr. Clean, singing
"I'm a Swan Queen
You're a fairy
Run away from me
You're big and hairy
(But yours makes more sense. . . )

Last week, I described the medical mystery of a mother in details and how the husband and now more and more doctors try to help find the diagnosis through crowdsourcing.
They just created a wiki for listing the potential hypotheses so then anyone can leave comments on them easily.
They also published the graphs of seizure activity and noticed strong and consistent intervals. Any ideas for a resolution?

October 8, 2010
In 1978, Edward I. Koch assumed control of a city beset by crime, fiscal distress and racial tensions. By the end of his mayoral tenure, and despite the Wall Street crash of 1987, his administration had begun rebuilding neighborhoods and infrastructure. Koch's efforts convinced many New Yorkers to embrace a new political order subsidizing business, particularly finance, insurance and real estate, and privatizing public space.
The Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University welcomes the former mayor on Thursday, Oct. 14, from 5 p.m.-to-7 p.m. for a discussion about his legacy with NYU Polytechnic Institute historian Jonathan Soffer, author of the newly published book Ed Koch and the Rebuilding of New York City, which views Koch's odyssey through personal and mayoral papers, authorized interviews, and oral histories.
This free public event will be held at NYU Wagner's home in the Puck Building, 2nd Floor, 295 Lafayette Street, (@ Houston), in lower Manhattan. The forum is co-sponsored by Wagner and Polytechnic.
RSVP is required.
This Press Release is in the following Topics:

The Asia Society Partnership for Global Learning is an innovative educational movement. Its purpose is to provide leadership and structure to move international education from the margins to the mainstream by connecting policy and practice to prepare American students to excel in an interconnected world. Through publications, conferences, workshops, newsletters, policy briefs and online resources, the Partnership for Global Learning provides:
- effective K-12 strategies for integrating international education content across the curriculum
- successful approaches to creating world language programs
- ways to "make the case" for global competence
- policy innovations and funding resources to advance international education
- approaches to international benchmarking to support innovation
- preparation for teachers to teach about the world
- ways to harness technology and create new opportunities for international collaboration
- an understanding of how international education promotes academic excellence and equity for all students
Why international knowledge and skills?
From science and culture to sports and politics, ideas and capital are crossing borders and spanning the world. The globalization of business, the advances in technology, and the acceleration of migration increasingly require the ability to work on a global scale. As a result of this new connectivity, our high school graduates will need to be far more knowledgeable about world regions and global issues, and able to communicate across cultures and languages.
Our students must emerge from schools college-ready and globally competent, prepared to compete, connect, and cooperate with their generation around the world. Parents, teachers, policymakers, and business leaders have begun to respond to this reality and are seeking to redesign education to focus on learning for the 21st century. However, the U.S. education system has not yet created an environment to prepare every student for the globalized world. To move international education from the margins to the mainstream, we must work together to ensure an environment of excellence and equity in a global era.
Asia Society's Partnership for Global Learning connects state and district decision makers, school leaders, teachers, universities, and other stakeholders to:
- Increase the supply of K-12 schools with the capacity to graduate college ready, globally competent youth by integrating international knowledge and skills throughout the curriculum
- Increase the demand for international education by raising awareness, creating policy priority, and increasing resources for education about the world
- How will the Partnership do this? Learn more about our activities.
About Asia Society
The mission of Asia Society's Education Program is to ensure that the next generation of K-12 students in the United States is prepared for the challenges and responsibilities of an increasingly interdependent world. The Education Program has been working towards a nationwide commitment to make international knowledge and skills a top priority, creating models and resources for schools around the United States, and engaging U.S. education leaders with their counterparts in Asia and around the world.

The Father Factor
This works in some interesting ways, starting with babies at six weeks of age, all of whom are born with the ability to relate differently to fathers than to mothers. Babies respond differently to their fathers' approach and touch, and the dads take the bait.
Right from the beginning it is clear to researchers that fathers (even when taking the primary responsibility for their children) do not mother, any more than mothers can ever father. Regular dads can comfort, feed, bathe, and nuture competently, given sufficient practice -- just as competently as mothers -- and the babies love it and thrive. The things that make fathering different from mothering have important and positive effects on kids over the course of their lives.

Hehe... Looking at it now actually... Does not look like Ext.AbstractComponent contains code to "init" the plugings like you find in Ext JS 4 version.
if (me.plugins) { me.plugins = [].concat(me.plugins); for (i = 0, len = me.plugins.length; i < len; i++) { me.plugins[i] = me.initPlugin(me.plugins[i]); } }Simon Flack

hello, I'm using the signature pad from simon (thanks for this!), but have run into the same issue as was noted a page or two back on android, namely that we don't get any image data in anything below android 3. On my android 3.1 tablet i get the image data, however, on my SGS2 (android 2.3.6) i dont' get any data. It was mentioned that attempting to get a BMP instead of a PNG might work but like the others I too get the [object HTMLImageElement] string when I attempt to get the signature value. Any idea as to how we can get something working on pre Android 3.x devices? Have those that ran into the same issue been able to find a solution?
[EDIT] I see now that its not possible pre android 3. however, there are some workarounds as noted by weazil at the link he provided (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7901) .... if any have used the workarounds it would be nice to hear your impressions/experiences.
24 Jan 2012 3:51 PM #33
@eyepoker I was able to successfully call plugins[0].getSignatureAsImage('DATA') on android 2.3.3(both DroidX and HTC EVO).
I only had an issue when calling plugins[0].getSignatureAsImage('BMP')
25 Jan 2012 8:35 AM #34
From what I can tell you shouldn't be getting the desired result for android 2.x devices. I have a Galaxy S2 (2.3.6) and I literally get this short string as the output: "data:". This is consistent with the reported behavior.
On an Acer a500 (3.2) i get the full data string.
The issue is that toDataURL on android 2.x just isn't fully implemented, thus signature pad isn't able to do its magic. I've no idea why you can get it to work on your two devices - i have to think that it is in fact not working. No error will be thrown, you *can* draw/write and you do get "something" returned... just not the image data.... I'm sure you have, but in case not, have you taken a look?
1 Mar 2012 3:10 AM #35
Hi Simon, really thanks for this awesome plugin!!
I've a question: how can I disable/enable the signature panel? In order to allow user to edit or not it.
1 Mar 2012 3:15 AM #36
I will look into this and get back to you. I am also about to make a version for 2.0 now that it is soon ready for release.Simon Flack

Anyone get this to work with Android 2.0+ but < Android 3.0? If there is any known workaround please share.

Fulvestrant is approved for postmenopausal women with a certain type of breast cancer, called hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer. If the cancer is not responsive to tamoxifen, then fulvestrant is an option. Fulvestrant is given once a month as a shot in the gluteal muscle.
Like the medication tamoxifen, fulvestrant is classified as anti-estrogen therapy. These drugs are designed to treat the forms of breast cancer that are sensitive to the hormone estrogen. In such cases, there are estrogen receptors on the outside of the breast cancer cells. These receptors take in estrogen, which stimulates their growth.
Each anti-estrogen drug works by a slightly different mechanism, making it possible for these drugs to be used in sequence. This means that doctors have more weapons to fight breast cancer, and they may be able to control the cancer for a longer period of time. Tamoxifen blocks estrogen from reaching the estrogen receptor in breast cancer cells. Fulvestrant blocks and destroys estrogen receptors in breast cancer cells.
The most common side effects include:
You will not be able to take fulvestrant if you:
Tell your doctor about any medications, including over-the-counter medications and herbs and supplements, before starting fulvestrant.

FAYETTEVILLE — It happened for some when Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson's final pass sailed over Mekale McKay's head and landed harmlessly on the turf.
For others, it was when they embraced teammates and coaches on the field in the seconds after that final play, which secured No. 8 LSU's 20-13 win in front of an announced crowd of 71,117 in Razorback Stadium. Or when they began the last slow walk off the field, slipping through the doors of the Broyles Center.
There were several opportunities for Arkansas' coaches and players to come to grips with the reality Friday: The 2012 season is over and, with it, is the Bobby Petrino era. But Arkansas center Travis Swanson said the finality didn't hit him, or a few teammates, until they got back behind the closed locker room doors Friday.
"It was very emotional," Swanson said, describing the scene. "These guys have been here for four, five years and put in so much work. It finally just hit a lot of people."
Arkansas' disappointing season — one that began with the Razorbacks in the Top 10 in the Associated Press poll and finished with the first eight-loss season since 1990 — wrapped up when Wilson's final pass fell incomplete in the end zone.
A 22-man senior class, which included several players who were part of Petrino's first recruiting class at Arkansas in 2008, said their final good-byes. So, too, did a staff of coaches who stayed on in hopes of keeping the Petrino plan running smoothly after their boss was fired in April.
It included John L. Smith, who remained positive Friday at the conclusion of one-year run as Arkansas' head coach even though it was dominated by on-the-field issues and personal financial problems.
"I loved every minute of it," Smith said of the opportunity to lead the Razorbacks. "I loved being with these guys. I tried to do all we could do."
Everything about the end of an era seemed appropriate in a way Friday, considering the recurring themes that have dominated the season.
Arkansas' offense shot itself in the foot with mistakes, penalties and missed opportunities much of the game. The defense gave up a big pass play when it absolutely had to have a stop. There were special teams gaffes and coaching staff decisions that raised eyebrows with the game on the line.
Smith said after the game that kicking a field goal on fourth-and-1 from the LSU 1 was the right move for Arkansas, which trailed 17-10 at the time. He felt the same about the decision to punt on fourth-and-4 from the LSU 45, which gave the Tigers the ball back with less than 6 minutes remaining in a 17-13 game.
LSU was able to score three points and eat more than 4 minutes off the clock thanks to a 47-yard pass play on third-and-10. But Arkansas, despite its issues, still had a chance to win the game after reaching the LSU 18 with 6 seconds remaining.
They couldn't add another dramatic ending to the Battle for the Boot, though.
"It's sad to be honest with you," Arkansas offensive coordinator Paul Petrino said when asked about the final game. "You work as hard as you can, and it's just sad for it to come to an end. It's kind of like how the whole year went. …
"I was proud of the kids, I was proud of the assistant coaches. I was proud of everybody that fought as hard as they could to the end. That's something we can all look in the mirror and always know that we did. But it's sad."
So now the reclamation project begins for an Arkansas program that should have a new coach in place by mid-December.
He'll take over a program that reached new heights against LSU just two years ago, beating the Tigers to wrap up a Sugar Bowl berth and the school's first appearance in a Bowl Championship Series game. Arkansas followed it up in 2011 by equaling the school record with 11 wins and a trip to the Cotton Bowl before everything seemingly crashed into a ditch.
Little went right for a program that boasted about its national title hopes in 2012 and the scars were very evident. Take Friday for example, when a chorus of boos rained down from the crowd after some of the sideline decisions.
Wilson was one of several players who said he had no regrets, though.
"As rough in some aspects as this year's been — and let's not sugarcoat it, it's been tough, it's been a grind to come to work and prepare every single day," Wilson said.
"But you learn so much during it. So I wouldn't trade it for anything."
Wilson was embraced by three offensive linemen after his final pass fell incomplete and said it reinforced his thoughts. Receiver Cobi Hamilton walked slowly around the end zone by himself before eventually getting a hug from strength and conditioning coach Jason Velktamp.
Meanwhile, Arkansas defensive ends coach Steve Caldwell had tears in his eyes as the reality of the situation hit him. The loss to LSU didn't just end Arkansas' season for coaches and players.
It also ended an era.
"It didn't turn out like we wanted it to, but I've never been more proud of a team and organization than I am right now," Swanson said. "Just with all the stuff we've been through, dating back to a year ago and just how we've handled it.
"A lot of teams would've just stopped and rolled over and said, 'All right we give up.' But it seemed like every day we just kept fighting and fighting and fighting."

5 Ways 'Inspector Gadget' Totally Predicted the Future
Every sci-fi movie, TV show and book is in some way trying to predict the future. But as we are fond of pointing out, it's often the most ridiculous ones that turn out to be eerily accurate.
Take Inspector Gadget, for instance. Despite originally airing in the early '80s and having a shamelessly implausible cartoon premise, the cartoon managed to correctly predict more trends in the modern world than most serious speculative fiction novels.
#5. Gadget's Niece Invented The iPad Before Steve Jobs
30 years ago:
The whole point of Inspector Gadget was that they lived in a world full of technology that was utterly insane, to the point of being ridiculous and/or useless. Every gag could be boiled down to, "Can you imagine if they made a little helicopter that deployed out of your hat? How fucking ridiculous would that be!" Well, in 1983, one of those insane "can you even imagine?" gadgets belonged to the Inspector's niece, Penny, whose futuristic "computer book" of her own invention had video-chatting, a giant database where she could look up practically anything and, most impressively, a display with more than three colors.
It even had a USB port, apparently.
In case you weren't around back then, this is what a "personal computer" looked like back in 1983 -- they were called "personal" because they actually fit inside the house.
So, not only was Penny's computer book smaller and more potent than anything that existed (or we believed would ever exist), but also she could use it to control other machines -- sometimes without even touching them -- thus foiling Dr. Claw's plans.
"That Kim Possible bitch ain't got shit on me."
That little gizmo actually solved more crimes than Gadget himself.
Unless you print out our articles to read them in the toilet, there's a huge chance you're looking at a device much like Penny's computer book right now. Between wireless connections, laptops that close like books and tablets the size of a magazine, the computer book doesn't seem as science fiction-y now as it did in 1983.
In fact, if you showed it to a teenager now they'd probably say "What the fuck is a book?"
What's interesting is that 1983 is also the year when, according to a recently unearthed talk, a young Steve Jobs talks about some of the stuff Apple would like to do in the future and ended up predicting several modern developments, including Wi-Fi, the iTunes store, and of course, the iPad. In fact, he actually says the words "We want to put an incredibly great computer in a book you can carry around with you ..."
Now, Jobs gave this talk a few months before Inspector Gadget first aired, so unless he had friends at DiC Entertainment, he probably wasn't directly inspired by Penny's signature tech. That doesn't change the fact that a freaking cartoon accidentally managed to introduce the world to his greatest invention 27 years before he did.
There's more: In 2001, DiC produced a revival called Gadget and the Gadgetinis, in which the Inspector receives several tinier versions of himself, each from a different color ...
Each one has 1/4th of his IQ, so they're legally dogs.
Wait a minute, the Inspector Gadget "model" now comes in smaller versions in a variety of colors? Holy shit! The show predicted the iPod Nano too, first introduced in 2005.
#4. It Predicted We Would Trust GPS Over Our Own Senses
30 Years Ago:
So Inspector Gadget actually had two basic jokes that were repeated over and over: "Gadget sure is a moron" and "Gadget's gadgets sure malfunction a lot." The following clip from the episode "Monster Lake" is a combination between those two things:
In the scene, Gadget lets the Gadget Mobile drive itself while he sits back and relaxes. However, the evil Dr. Claw manipulates the car's advanced navigation system by replacing a road sign in front of it, thus tricking the Gadget Mobile into driving itself off a cliff.
Years later, The Office would borrow this timeless gag.
Self-driving cars are nothing new in fiction, but Gadget's attitude about them is what's significant here. He remains unperturbed even as the car spins out of control at a great speed and finally launches itself into the air. He just trusts that technology will always have his back.
"Don't worry, Penny, I'm a robot, remember? It's just you and your dog who'll die."
Gadget and Penny still land safely on the ground, of course, because they are in an experimental shape-shifting car capable of withstanding almost anything. Not everyone has one of those, unfortunately.
Yes, this has now happened. More than once. One driver in England was left "teetering on a cliff edge" because the GPS told him to keep driving and he just did it.
"It told me to 'ramp that shit'. I shouldn't have hesitated."
In Bedford Hills, NY, two drivers, in the same city, in the same year, both got their cars stuck on the train tracks because their GPS assured them it was actually a road and they tried to treat it as such. Both cars got hit by the oncoming train when the train tried to treat the tracks like train tracks. The drivers weren't harmed, but they were both quick to blame the machine itself for the accident (as opposed to their own carelessness), so maybe they won't be so lucky the next time this inevitably happens.
But, hey -- at least the train tracks somewhat resemble a road, if you have severe eye problems. It's not as though they drove into the freaking ocean. Unlike these guys:
Not Photoshoped.
Earlier this year, three Japanese students vacationing in Australia followed their GPS into the Pacific Ocean as they tried to reach Stradbroke Island. The driver's explanation was that "It told us we could drive down there," and apparently neither him nor his friends thought that was weird. So, there you have it -- what some cartoon writers considered a far-fetched, intentionally ridiculous bit of slapstick has now become a reality.
#3. Teenagers Know More About Computers Than Trained Professionals
30 Years Ago:
As we mentioned before, Inspector Gadget's niece, Penny, and her iPad tended to be the one to save the day in most of the episodes, despite her uncle's name being the one on the name of the show. She's brave, resourceful, and more tech-savvy than even her part-robot Uncle.
Perhaps because her brain hadn't been replaced by a helicopter engine.
Penny isn't the only smart kid in this show: In the episode "Japanese Connection," Dr. Claw steals the world's most advanced computer chip and brings it to his Japanese counterpart, Ichi Waruta-san. Penny breaks into the bad guy's castle, digitally transfers the specs to her Japanese friend, Atsuko, and she manages to make a "anti-chip" while Gadget is busy fucking around with sumo wrestlers or some bullshit like that.
"Man, and I thought our cartoons make no sense."
Now let's consider the other major adult character in the show, Chief Quimby, Gadget's superior who somehow manages to get his own self-destructing messages to blow up on his face at the beginning of every episode.
"Fool me once shame on you ... Fool me 7,453,643-- "
It's like the show is set in a world where kids have a better hang on modern technology than adults.
As the thousands of teenagers who keep having to explain to their parents how to "get the Nintendo to play Matlock" know very well, nowadays, children tend to be as much or more tech-savvy than their parents. A study made in 10 countries found that most kids aged 11 have "adult skills when it comes to technology" -- a different UK-based study concluded that 70 percent of parents of 12-15 year olds think that their kids know more about the Internet than they do.
"-- so you turn off 'safe-search', type 'busty+asian', and boom! Now you try, Dad."
But this is only natural, since these kids grew up surrounded by technology and had a head-start in learning it. It's the same reason why the children of the '70s are still the undisputed experts in operating broomstick horsies. However, it goes further than that: Just as Penny was able to outsmart a criminal mastermind like Dr. Claw in every episode, today a teenager has single-handedly stayed ahead of the biggest tech company in the world.

However, his dog sidekick mostly stays home and licks itself.
Starting in 2010, then 17-year old Nicholas Allegra managed to hack pretty much every new Apple product as soon as it was released, allowing users to install any app they wanted just by visiting the site jailbreakme.com -- if you've ever "jailbroken" your iPhone or iPad, it was probably thanks to him. Apple tried to put a stop to it by blocking the website and fixing the vulnerabilities he was exploiting, but their highly-paid team of experts just couldn't keep up with a teenager.
Eventually, Apple gave up and brought the hacker in as an intern. If Dr. Claw had only thought of that, he probably could have gotten rid of Gadget in about 15 minutes.

Glad it's working Ri916, good job I checked anyway haha.
Not got high hopes for Fulham, hopefully make good progress in the cup though!
Need to make some money this season Olaf Thon has gone mad with transfers and I am now £16 million in the red.
Well the season not been great at Newcastle but very happy with the manager failing to spend the £30m that was left over in the budget. Off the field we are in a great position its just on it thats a problem.
Fabian Kosinski has dissapeared from my team and he was signed this season so can he come back, has potential, im Anji by the way
Also any chance i can change the decision my chairman made to sack hiddink?

River is in the market for new fullbacks if anyone has any they are looking to unload.
Just checked the save think the only thing wrong with mine is that Erik Pieters was 1 of my 8 players I made untransferable and he's been sold other than that think im all good
I think i've fixed all the issues now, so I'm going to get on with the next update
What happens when teams sack their manager? I'd quite like Pep back and surely it should be my decision? Otherwise good
Season 2 Update: October 1st - December 1st
Campionato Super League
League Table - Al-Sadd have been in amazing form these past two months thanks to a sturdy defence and decent attacking play. However, they will be a bit short up front after leading team goalscorer Seydou Doumbia picked up a major injury. Bologna are still suprising everyone in the league with a 2nd place spot above last years runner up Anji. Malaga have really gone down hill this season, continueing their form of the last month of last season, can they improve? At the bottom we have Aston Villa and Newcastle on 14 points and then River and Ajax in 21st and 22nd on 13 points, so it's very close at the bottom at the moment!
League Team Stats
In Form: Al-Sadd are the in form team so far with 7 games won in a row! This is mainly down to their brilliant defensive work, but if they are to dominate the league they need to start scoring more goals, although their leading goalscorer has just picked up an injury.
Goals For: Olympiakos have been amazing in front of goal with a massive 34 goals so far this season! Brilliant stuff and doing very well in the league as well.
Conceded: Al-Sadd are the defensive rock so far this season only conceding 9 goals in the league! This has been mainly down to their goalkeepers performances, but also their defensive work on top of that.
League Player Stats
Average Rating: There are no guesses here as Lionel Messi is way out in front with an amazing 8.11 average rating! Despite his recent efforts, Seydou Doumbia is in 2nd on just 7.88 average rating, although that is still considered amazing. Third place belongs to Bologna's Lee Wallace and his form is sure to raise the alarm for other clubs.
Goals: There has been no outstanding performer in this department, with Marco Streller, Roberto Soldado, Javier Saviola and Edinson Cavani all on 8 goals, with others following very closely behind.
Assists: Brilliant performances all season from Thiago and proven him to be the most creative force in the league! Close behind is Marvin Martin and then Ze Roberto!

Coppa Titano Results
PSV 6 - 1 HSV: PSV powered their way into the Quarter Final with a massive 6 - 1 aggregate victory. The chairman of HSV will definatly not be happy with this below par performance.
Bologna 4 - 2 River: Bologna's form continues into the cup with a respectable 4 - 2 aggregate victory and they will be looking forward to the quarter final! They surely be confident of overcoming their defeat in the final last season and will look to win the cup.
Bolton 0 - 2 Fulham: Fulham have been transformed this season and haven't held back here with a comfortable 2 - 0 aggregate victory.
Olympiakos 3 - 5 Al-Sadd: This was a very tough draw for both teams, with both in form in the league, but Al-Sadd managed to put the game to bed in the second leg. Al-Sadd will be looking to go for glory again this season.
FC Twente 4 - 5 Universidad De Chile: This was the pairing of the round with an amazing second leg come back from UDC! They managed to end the tie 5 - 4 on aggregate and FC Twente will be kicking themselves!
Ajax 3 - 5 Aston Villa: Ajax haven't been the strongest team in San Marino since the reform last season and this continues in the cup! Aston Villa go through 5 - 3 on aggregate.
Napoli 2 - 4 Anji: Anji's dominance proved too much for Napoli here and they will be wondering what they must do to make an impact in San Marino.
Gladbach 5 - 2: A poor second leg from Basel ended their hopes of a come back as Gladbach dominated 5 - 2 on aggregate.
Champions League
Group G - PSV: PSV have it all today with a final game against Werder Bremen and they will have to hope that Porto fail against Feyenoord. If they some how manage this feat, they will pick up some very nice prize money!
Europa League
Group H - Al-Sadd: Al-Sadd have 2 more games to make an impact, or they will be out of the competition in the group stages! 3 losses and 1 win so far for the Sammarinese side in a difficult group. Their latest victory over Fiorentina will give them confidence.
Save Game File Info
Save Game - As always, make sure i've corrected all errors and make sure there are no more errors This save is also important as the transfer window will be opening shortly, one month earlier than normal.
So transfer window will be in december? Need to get Anji firing on all cylinders if i am to catch al Sadd!
I sold Dempsey with Hangeland for £16m in a double transfer. He's played really well for us as well :/
I feel bad about it now
Also TM, when will you be planning to open the transfer window? In real life that is.
Well crap, back to the bottom again.
Everything looks good to me other than the future transfer on Strootman 1 of my 8 untransferable
Gladbach soaring up the table. That's what I like to see.
Need to make 2 moves, probably only achieve one this window. Outside of a couple of things, Olympiakos looks great.
Any idea when/if the window will open today real time?
Anyone want to do an exchange loan untill end of season for messi . I'd be looking for 3 top class players in return if anyone wants to loan him
Transfer Window Is Now Open (Closes 25/05/2012 At 18:00pm GMT+0)
Transfer Limits...
- 1 Foreign Transfer
- 1 Youth Transfer
- 1 Loan Transfer
- 1 Free Transfer
- Unlimited Domestic Transfers
- Unlimited Domestic Loans
The window is open for the December update due to the new way that I do the transfers. This will allow me to ensure that everyone gets their players on 1st January 2013.
TM, can we get a January 1 save so we can see our teams?
Understood, sorry for that
Not that i'm moaning or anything mate but Adebayor is only on 3.5k per week at my club (HSV) I just feel like im cheating if i dont point that out
Al-Sadd Splash The Cash!
Al-Sadd have just splashed the cash to bring Argentine "Javier Pastore" to the club, costing £25,000,000. The chairman believes that this will connect the midfield with the attacking players and help the flow of goals!

Al-Sadd Bring Back Fan Favourite
Al-Sadd have moved swiftly to loan last seasons sensation John Obi Mikel! With Javier Pastore already joining this transfer window, the midfield is starting to look menacing!

Do I get compensation for Demba Ba missing 8 games at the start TM? Because he's scored 4 goals since he's been back.
Still keeping it tightish at the back and scoring a few more happy with 6th so far.
Olympiakos board has hired a United States metrics company to analyze why the team is surrendering so many goals. In their findings, they realized that the current goalkeeper is not up to par with the rest of the league and is in need of an upgrade.
That being said, Olympiakos would like to announce a new addition to the club:
GK Samir Handanovic - 34k wages and 10.25m in transfer - (Canceled transaction, blocked by Board of Directors)
In addition, grabbing french midfielder Benoit Cheyrou on loan for a wage of 66k for the rest of the year.
The chairman says he will do everything in his power to solve the problem and bring the team to the top.
Notable Olympiakos players on the block:
Transfer Out:
Torosidis - DR - Sold for 6m to Universidad De Chile
Mirallas - AMR - Sold for 7m to HSV
Jose Holebas - DL - Sold for 550k to HSV
Fuster - AMC
Diogo - ST
Transfer In:
Hugo Lloris - GK - 43m and 59k wages
Benoit Cheyrou - MC - Loan and 66k wages
Alfons Ventaja - AML - 2.75m compensation (youngster)
Budget will be set to 2m and wages at 820k
In an attempt to strengthen the squad this january window, the board of directors have veto'd the transfer of GK Handanovic and decided to go another direction. More news coming on who the player will be coming up.

Gladbach Seek To Build On Momentum
Gladbach chairman Hans Dehler has stated his delight at seeing the squad finally adapt to Bielsa's bizarre tactical set-up and the rewards it is reaping. With the momentum with Die Fohlen, Dehler has announced the signing of Brazilian attacker Dentinho from Shakhtar Donetsk, for a measly £6.75m and a weekly wage of just £16k per week. He hopes the Brazilian will bring some flair and fluidity to his team's attack, capable of filling in on either flank or up top. The other player joining will be Turkish stalwart Mehmet Topal, on loan from Valencia until the end of the season.
Dehler would finally like to appeal to other Super League chairman to see if any of them have any good centre backs that they're willing to let go for a reasonable price.

Nath Walker Announces New Face At HSV
Nath Walker and Rafa Benitez have been working hard behind the scenes in order to announce yet another new face under the reigns of Rafa. The signing is that off France international Franck Ribery, the transfer is thought to have set the club back a huge £56.25mil aswell as a staggering £225k per week on wages.
Walker said " We have been working hard the bring in a player of this quality and have been looking at Ribery for a long time. With Leeds signing Messi in the summer we felt like we had to try and step up and match that deal, we feel with this signing we have done that."

More moves by Olympiakos
Chairman has signed a contract with youngster Alfons Ventaja from Barcelona with compensation of 2.57m.
Olympiakos is excited and proud to have this future left winger on the squad and cant wait to get him started through the youth system.
TM, I apologise for the obscene amounts of messages I have just sent you.
Will we get a save game with our players in early january? So then we could set budgets for the rest of the window for our managers?
Erm TM. I DON'T know why but i am like 34million in debt. I thought i would be maybe 5 or so but thats ridiculous. I am sure something has gone wrong here!!
But maybe i am wrong. I duno i am tired lol!

PSV chairman Andy Stewart has once again splashed the cash and is delighted to announce the signing of Sergio Aguero from Manchester City for a whopping £73 Million pounds and 240k wages
Because of this massive transfer Marcello Lippi will have 0 transfer budget and the wage budget will b set at 700k
Fulham transfers:
Alessandro Lupo will be joining for £2.8m from AC Milan, he is my youth signing. His wages will be £275 p/w
Cala will be joining us for the rest of the season as my loan signing from Sevilla, his wages will be paid in full at £6,300 p/w
Mbaye Niang will be our senior transfer for the window, as he turns 18 only 2 weeks before the January window opens, this means we get him for the bargain price of £8.125m with wages of only £3,810 p/w
Signing for the future there with 2 players under 19, though Niang may be ready for 1st team action sooner than you would think thanks to Danny Welbecks signing not having the intended impact.
Budgets for manager transfers:
Transfer budget: £10m
Wage budget: £1.05m p/w.
Universidad De Chile Make a Small Wave

Vyacheslav Lunin £1.5 Mil

Thibaut Courtois Joins HSV
HSV are pleased to announce the loaning of young Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. He will be joining up with the club until the end of the season. It is thought that he will be the number one goalkeeper for the rest of the year.
Universidad De Chile Budgets
Transfer Budget £29 Million
Wage Budget 650k
News coming from Olympiakos camp:
Board of Directors have blocked the transfer of Samir Handanovic and instead decided to go for broke and make a run for the top spot this year by bringing in French superstar goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for 43m in transfer fees and a slim 59k in wages
To offset the cost of this major purchase, the board decided to sell fullback captain Vasilis Torosidis for 6m to Universidad de Chile. Torosidis will be sorely missed but there have been rumors flying around from last year that he would be requesting a transfer regardless. The Chilean club has "made an offer i couldnt refuse."
Also, Winger Kevin Mirallas will be leaving the club this window for 7m to HSV. The stud winger was unsettled at the club after the summer transfer window and wanted a new challenge in his career. The board has decided to grant him a transfer and wish him the best and thank him for his fine service.

Guys i'm looking for a Rb and a Lb PM me if you have any of these up for sale. Cheers
Napoli continue to attempt to buy their way out of trouble
San Marino's most underwhelming team decided to 'do a Leeds' today, bringing in German starlet Mario Gotze from Borussia Dortmund for an estimated fee of £37.5m. Many pundits see this as the last chance for frustrated chairman Gianpaolo Della Torre, who is starting to lose patience with star manager Pep Guardiola. Finally, the club also brought in Anthony Annan on loan from Schalke to bolster the midfield.
On a side note, how are we doing this badly?!?!
Transfer Window Is Now Closed
You will have untill 20:00pm to confirm all deals
looking forward to the rest of the season! CUMON PSV
Bit of a quiet one thsi time. Think people have their core squad sorted now, so only a few moves here and there

- abstract
Recent empirical research has found that the effect of new business formation on employment emerges over a period of about ten years and has identified a 'wave' pattern of these effects. In this study, we decompose the overall contribution of new business formation on employment change into direct and indirect effects. The results indicate that indirect effects of new business formation are quantitatively much more important than the direct effects. Furthermore, we find that regional differences of the employment change generated by new business formation can to a large part be explained by respective differences of the indirect effects. Hence, the interaction of the start-ups with their regional environment plays a great role for explaining their impact on regional development.

All of this evidence and no one is talking about the underage drinking that should be prosecuted along with the provider of the alcohol being prosecuted? Then the administrators and coach turning a blind eye to the underage drinking? They should all be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! NO EXCEPTIONS!

STEUBENVILLE - Sean Tucker's Catholic Central basketball team went full time at the right time Friday inside a jam packed Mickey Barber Gymnasium.
After watching a halftime lead evaporate during a third quarter when "we didn't play Central basketball," the Crusaders, powered by senior Zack Herrington, came on strong to earn a 55-49 victory over Tuscarawas Central Catholic in the mutual season opener.
Central, behind 11 points from junior Ryan Fletcher, grabbed a 30-25 advantage after the opening two periods. Tucker's club went cold during the third, hitting just two of 11 from the floor. The Saints, on the other hand, caught fire, canning six of nine attempts to take the upper hand at 39-37. Doug Ross fueled the TCC run, swishing a pair of three balls.
"We played down in the third," Tucker admitted. "We came out sluggish. We were flat, that's something we can't do and the boys know that. We were part-time in the third after playing full-time in the first and second.
"We regrouped in the fourth, went back to being full-time players. Our senior leadership stepped up. It was a total team win."
TCC's Andrew Cugliari opened the final eight minutes by tickling twine for three. That's when Central went work. Juniors Brenton Colabella and Michael Barber both nailed deuces. Herrington swished two from the line before Cugliari stopped the Crusader run with another triple.
Fact Box
Central 55, Tusky Central 49
Central 17 13 7 18 - 55
TCC (0-1): Lawless 1 0-0 2; Ross 2 0-0 6; Cugliari 2 3-4 9; Teater 6 3-4 16; Burley 1 0-0 2; Milleman 3 2-4 8; J. O'Donnell 3 0-0 6. TOTALS: 18 8-11 49. 3-pointers: Ross (2); Cugliari (2), Teater; Rebounds: 21 (Lawless 6); Turnovers: 12.
CENTRAL (1-0): Barber 5 2-2 14; Martello 0 0-0 0; Carapellotti 0 3-4 3; Colabella 3 0-0 6; Herrington 7 6-8 21; Fletcher 4 1-4 11; Porreca 0 0-0 0; Manfresca 0 0-0 0; Kotur 0 0-0 0. TOTALS: 19 12-18 55. 3-pointers: Barber (2), Herrington, Fletcher (2); Rebounds: 24 (Herrington 10); Turnovers: 7.
Colabella muscled his way up for two and Herrington hit a spot-up three from deep in the corner with hands in his face. He added four more; his second basket coming after one of his two fourth quarter steals (he led his team with three) on the defensive end.
Senior Michael Carapellotti sealed the deal when he found nothing but net on two tries from the charity stripe.
Herrington scored 10 of his game-high 21 points during the decisive final frame.
The Crusaders shot 50 percent from the floor during its game winning run. More importantly, they limited the Saints to a 3 of 11 shooting performance and forced five turnovers.
"As a team, we came together and rallied," Herrington, who paced Central with 10 rebounds, said. "Michael (Carapellotti) and I talked earlier about not letting this season go to waste. We all played hard and got it done. We're very solid on defense and we know our defense will create our offense."
Carapellotti, who recorded three assists to pace his squad, added the Crusaders knew "we had to step up going into the fourth quarter."
"We played harder and faster," he pointed out. "We did what we had to do. We clutched up at the end. This game is going to help lead us for the rest of the year."
Barber, making his first varsity start at point guard, contributed 14 points to support Herrington's showing. As a team, Central was 19 of 49 from the field. Fletcher finished with 11.
Michael Teater paced the Saints with 16. TCC finished 18 for 40 in the shooting department.
"One of the things I've done with these boys since June 1 is always make them the underdog in everything we do," Tucker noted. "If we're playing five on five, I always put the first group down three to start. I want to put them in a bad situation because I know come game time; they're going to be ready.
"We were focused and poised in the fourth quarter. That's the way Central plays basketball now."
The Crusaders are off until Dec. 11 when they host Toronto.

Turning environmental education into action
Last chance to celebrate Earth Day
By David Goldstein 04/24/2014
April 22 was Earth Day, and commemorative events in Ventura County throughout the month have helped celebrants learn and have fun. Hopefully, many left theses events more committed to keeping an "eye on the environment."
The first two local celebrations were in Oxnard and Thousand Oaks on April 5, drawing thousands of attendees. The Wyland "clean water mobile learning experience," animals (including mobile marine lab), and cars (including a top-of-the-line Tesla) were among the highlights of the Thousand Oaks event. Oxnard's auto show was more modest, featuring only a few hybrid sedans from the city's fleet, but their focus on animals was innovative. Organizers devoted a sizable chunk of their Plaza Park real estate to giant poster boards on industrial-scale easels, featuring ultraclose-up photos of bees. Some pictures were so detailed, you could see grains of pollen collected on a bee's body hairs. The event's slogan "Bee kind to the Earth!" pointed out that bees, pollinators for one third of worldwide food crops, are suffering a tragic population decline, due in part to pesticides.
The last of this year's local events related to Earth Day are scheduled for Moorpark and Ventura. The Moorpark event takes place the day this edition of the Ventura County Reporter hits newsstands (April 24) from 5 to 6 p.m. at 11800 Harvester St. Attendees can take home a free five-gallon tree. Ventura's Earth Day is Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Promenade Park.
For Moorpark's event, call 517-6360; for Ventura's, see www.venturaearthday.org
A crossover environmental message
An Earth Day festival can "rally the faithful" and deepen the green commitment of those who were already inspired to attend an environmental event, but those of us who specialize in environmental outreach also prize opportunities to spark interest among people who do not yet prioritize the environment.
For example, contrast this month's Earth Day events with the annual "Food Day" events coordinated by the Ventura County Public Health Department and the non-profit FOOD Share a few months ago.
The Public Health Department manages a garden, staffed with volunteer gardeners, at the end of Camino del Sol, near the La Colonia neighborhood. Using land provided by the City of Oxnard, volunteers conduct planting demonstrations, recruit community gardeners and encourage home gardening through programs such as giving school tours and sending students home with living vegetable plants.
Sylvia Lopez-Navarro, the Public Health Department's Chronic Disease and Obesity Prevention Manager, focuses mainly on the public health benefits of this work, but she agrees the environmental benefit is linked. "Growing at home or in a nearby garden reduces the carbon footprint and air pollution of food distribution, avoiding long truck trips from fields to distribution centers, to supermarkets and then to homes," she said. Often, community and home gardens include compost bins, so waste can also be managed on site, further reducing the smog and traffic of truck transportation.
Growing your own food also reduces packaging, not just the plastic or paper shopping bags everyone notices, but also transport packaging, which is many times more plentiful but is invisible to consumers. Pallets, shrink wrap, padding and other items used to move food from fields to your supermarket shelves can all be eliminated when you grow your own food.
Other local food-focused programs also promote environmental goals. For example, Suz Montgomery, who leads the Extended Learning Academy, developed a community garden geared toward seniors. Using donated items ranging from lumber to compost, volunteers and workers form the Ventura City Corps built raised beds for use by the residents of the Ventura Convalescent Hospital, who can now garden without excessive stooping. Some even tend their vegetables while seated in their wheel chairs.
Legal gray water to help green gardening goals
Of course, in our dry climate, water is a barrier on this gardening path toward a greener lifestyle. Fortunately, the Ventura County Building and Safety Division is offering opportunities for landscapers and the general public to learn more about legal and safe methods for reusing the "gray water" left over from washing clothes. Simply piping a clothes washer's outflow onto a lawn presents potential dangers, so workshops on April 24, May 8 and 22, June 5 and 19 will teach homeonewners and landscapers how to install the piping and drainage systems needed for safe and legal irrigation with laundry gray water. Graywater can contaminate vegetables such as carrots and strawberries but, if done safely, can be used to irrigate citrus and avocado trees.
Workshops are in Room 311 of the Ventura County Government Center's Hall of Administration from 6 to 8 p.m.
Go to www.ventura.org/rma/build_safe/index.htm for more workshop information, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 654-2795.

Any experienced drummer will be quick to tell you how important cymbals are to a kit. In many cases, the way in which a drummer utilizes their cymbals can easily shape and define their own unique drumming style, just as much as a snare roll. In today's market, there's a seemingly endless array of cymbal brands to choose from, each crafted with careful consideration by professionals in the business; so you can be sure that when you're ready to crash, smash and splash, the cymbals you're using sound as pristine as they play. Before purchasing cymbals, there are a few questions to ask yourself. What kind of music do you play? What kind of cymbal sound to you wish to achieve? These questions are important because certain kinds of cymbals are better suited to specific musical styles. For example, drummers in louder, heavier bands usually use larger cymbals because they can achieve more volume and they're less likely to crack when hit with brute force. Jazz drummers, on the other hand, enjoy a thinner cymbal because they sound crisp and pleasing to the ear when played lightly.
For beginners, the Zildjian ZBT 3 cymbal pack offers an 18" crash ride and a pair of 13" hi-hats along with a free 14" crash. Complete with a highly polished, brilliant finish that provides excellent stick articulation and controlled overtones, everything about this starter pack is remarkably consistent. Another top seller is the Sabian AAXplosion crash cymbal pack with a free 11" splash. This incredible pack contains all the essentials with a modern bright, shimmering sound. If you're going for a complex spread and warm feel though, take a shot at the Meinl HSC crash cymbal. Offering a smooth attack and sustain, this cymbal has a harmonic and balanced sound, and the price is more than affordable. If you're new to the cymbal world, you'll learn quickly that cymbals are available in a greater variety of sizes and types than any other drum on your kit. But once you have a better understanding of the sound you're looking for, you'll be able to narrow your search down a whole lot easier. From Sabian and Paiste to Wuhan and Zildjian, there's no shortage of incredible cymbals out there for all tastes and styles. And whatever style you prefer, picking the right cymbals starts with taking your own preferences into consideration. Doing so will make your search a whole lot easier.

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has introduced the new Trailblazer series of engine-driven welder/generators — the Trailblazer 275 and Trailblazer 325. Built for general construction, structural steel, maintenance and repair, mobile fabrication, and farm and ranch applications, the new Trailblazer welder/generators offer a number of industry-first technologies designed to reduce fuel use by as much as 35 percent, extend runtimes by 50 percent, reduce noise by 68 percent, and provide a smaller and lighter footprint for ease of mobility and more space on work trucks.
Two industry-exclusive technologies anchor these new welder/generators: Smart-Cor™ technology and Auto-Speed™ technology. Smart-Cor technology provides independent weld and generator power, ensuring no interaction between the welding arc and jobsite tools such as grinders and chop saws. Welder/generators without this capability can cause fluctuations in the welding arc when a load is simultaneously applied to the generator, creating an erratic arc. Auto-Speed technology automatically adjusts the engine speed to run at lower speeds determined by the load applied to the machine. Whereas other comparable welder/generators operate at 3,600 rpm at all times, the new Trailblazer series varies its output based on demand. For instance, welding with a 1/8-inch Stick electrode can be accomplished at idle speeds of 2,400 rpm. This significantly lowers fuel use and cost, and helps reduce noise in the work area rather than having a machine constantly running at full speed.
In addition to Auto-Speed technology, there are two recommended options on both the Trailblazer 275 and 325 that significantly improve fuel efficiency: Excel™ power and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI). Excel power is a new and exclusive technology from Miller that allows users to run most jobsite tools at idle speed (2,400 rpm) — saving fuel and reducing noise. In traditional welder/generators, the machine immediately ramps up to 3,600 rpm when a generator load is applied. With Excel power, users get 2,400 watts of pure 120-volt, 60-hertz generator power (completely separate from the machine's standard generator power). This provides powerful and clean generator power, and allows users to run tools and low-amperage welding arcs simultaneously at idle speed. EFI optimizes the air/fuel ratio for reduced fuel consumption, longer runtimes, fewer emissions and superior performance compared to carbureted models. It provides more reliable starting performance in cold climates, requires no choke, and is less prone to fuel deterioration due to infrequent use. The new Trailblazer series welder/generators provide excellent Stick, MIG, Flux-Cored and DC TIG welding performance. The machine offers excellent carbon arc gouging performance, and the generator is able to power Spectrum® plasma cutters for additional cutting and gouging flexibility. The new Trailblazers also feature Wave Filter technology and a 10-degreee skewed motor that provides extremely "clean" generator power for running jobsite tools with sensitive electronics such as plastic fusion welders, bore welders and appliances. Each Trailblazer welder/generator has also been fully optimized for truck integration. The shorter and lighter design (up to 5 inches shorter and 108 pounds lighter) allows more room for other tools and equipment, and reduces the wear and strain of a heavier machine on the truck's chassis. Daily maintenance has also been made easier with front panel displays to help users keep track of service intervals, as well as the intuitive placement of service points. Each machine is tested and rated for use at 104 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for work in all climates and conditions.
The Trailblazer 275 and Trailblazer 325 offer 275 amps and 325 amps of welding power at 100 percent duty cycle, respectively, in all welding processes, as well as 12,000 watts peak/10,500 watts continuous generator power. The new Trailblazer models represent an improvement in arc quality and offer new features designed to improve total weld quality and performance:
Due to its low melting point and the presence of an oxide layer on its surface, aluminum can be relatively tricky to weld. It is particularly prone to burn-through and distortion, not to mention it can have a difficult-to-control weld pool. Add in the f...

Claudia Sanders Dinner House continues the colonel's legacy of 'true Kentucky food'
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton ate there; so did pop composer Marvin Hamlisch. Singer Pat Boone and Lee Majors, television's "Six Million Dollar Man," have stopped in, and so have legendary boxer Muhammad Ali and U.S. Senator
Mitch McConnell.
But of all the famous people who have eaten at Claudia Sanders Dinner House (3202 Shelbyville Road, in Shelbyville), owners Tommy and Cherry Settle have most admired the man who made the dining landmark possible – KFC founder, Col. Harland Sanders.
"Cherry had been his national sales hostess; she went everywhere to teach employees about proper appearance and cleanliness," Tommy said. "We were thinking of opening a KFC store in Virginia, but didn't have the money. We came to the colonel in 1972 and asked if he could help us out. He offered to let us take over this operation, because he was traveling so much. He lent us the money; he financed it and everything. It was a real opportunity for us, and we never could have done it
without him."
The colonel started his world-famous chicken chain during the 1950s in Corbin, where he and his wife, Claudia, ran a restaurant and motel. She regularly visited the town's railroad station in order to ship finger-lickin'-good ingredients to distant franchises. In 1959, the couple moved to Shelbyville, a more convenient location for taking advantage of the Louisville area's transportation hub.
The couple purchased a spacious white house, known as Blackwood Hall, on four acres beside U.S. 60, a major thoroughfare between Louisville and Lexington. The site soon bustled with employees working in the restaurant chain's headquarters and kitchen staff preparing ingredients for recipes.
Claudia Sanders Dinner House opened in 1968 as The Colonel's Lady. The convivial colonel often parked the cars of his guests and greeted as many diners as his business schedule permitted.
The couple sold the property to the Settles seven years before the colonel's death in 1980; Claudia died in 1996. The sale ended the restaurant's affiliation with KFC, whose headquarters had relocated to Louisville.
A catastrophic fire on the day after Mother's Day in 1999 destroyed the original restaurant building. Following 17 months of reconstruction, the restaurant almost doubled in size. Today, the 24,000-square-foot facility seats more than 800 people and features several dining rooms, a banquet room, an upstairs lounge and a shady balcony.
The lunch and dinner menus of Kentucky comfort food continue to tempt diners with the colonel's favorite items – country ham, steak and, of course, fried chicken.
"Over the years, we've added lots of beef selections, including filet mignon and New York strip steak – all Black tAngus choice. We also have catfish, trout and salmon, and as many as 18 vegetables in our Sunday buffet," Tommy said. "The colonel and I worked on a Hot Brown. We went all over, eating different versions of it, until we were ready to make one the way we wanted it to be."
Every dish, from bean soup (another Tommy-and-the-colonel collaborative effort) to blackberry cobbler, is made on the premises. The restaurant received a Best of the South award in the 2002 issue of Southern Living Favorites, and the recipe for Breaded Tomatoes was published in an issue of Taste of Home magazine.
"We know what's going into our product, because we buy the best quality – nothing cheap," Tommy said. "The colonel told us, 'You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You could trick 'em once, but you couldn't trick 'em twice.' If you don't have good food, they won't come back a second time. Serve good-quality food all the time, pay attention to it, and they'll keep coming back for true Kentucky food."
Claudia Sanders Dinner House, 3202 Shelbyville Road (U.S. 60) in Shelbyville, opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday; open Monday for private parties. For more information, visit www.claudiasanders.com or phone 502.633.5600.

My daughter just turned two, and over the last two years, I've learned a lot. Most parenting skills were easy to learn, but I never figured out burping when she was in the infant stage. In retrospect, I think if I had tried to burp her more often, she would have been more happy (with less crying). For future reference, when do you need to start burping, and when can you stop?
Both my sons needed to be fed by bottle early on (my wife didn't produce enough to breast-feed). What we experienced was that if we didn't take a pause to burp in the middle of the meal, he would more likely gulp up when finished. So for us it was basically twice for each meal (one in the middle of the meal, and one after finished). It was not always easy to "produce" a burp, but it was worth it. We often saw that when we couldn't get a burp for some reason, it was likely that he would get some stomache ake later.
With my son, we burped once in the middle and once at the end of the bottle and, with the exception of maybe once or twice, that was generally plenty. By the time he was 7 months old, though, we could back it down to once at the end of the feeding unless he slowed down and seemed to indicate that he needed to burp.
With my daughter, who had reflux, it could sometimes be as often as at the end of every ounce if her reflux was especially active that day. She is an exception, however, not the rule.
Ours were breast-fed, but I got to feed them a bottle as the last feed before night-time sleep. They all needed a burp after that bottle.
Generally they got the whole thing down before needing a burp, however occasionally they would slow right down before finishing, and invariably a burp was all that was needed before finishing off the bottle.
My experience is that if my wife breastfeeds, my daughter has very little gas. She may need to be burped when switching sides. The bottle gives my daughter more gas. I burp her a few times every feeding. If she gets squirmy, that's her telling me that something is uncomfortable. But each child may exhibit different signs.
With my daughter, I burp at the end of every bottle, or if she starts becoming fussy at the nipple I'll burp her then too (to make room for more). She tends to drift off when she's sated, so if she's fussy she's either in gas distress of some sort or we've been trying WAY too hard to get her to take a bottle she doesn't want.
When burping, I'll generally use a flat open palm with curled fingers (providing a relatively flat, not-floppy surface) and pat firmly about twice to three times a second. If a few minutes of this does not result in a pretty audible belch, she didn't suck much air when she was feeding (certain bottles are better at this than others; we've generally had good results with the Playtex VentAire series. It's all about nipple shape, proper flow for your baby's age, and preventing air mixing with formula as the pressure in the bottle normalizes) and I don't worry much about her not burping.
Sometimes, I will also leave her in a reclined position after feeding for a few minutes. Not enough time for bubbles to enter the intestines and become gas, but enough time for the bubbles to consolidate towards the top of the stomach. This generally reduces spit-up in my experience, while giving that satisfying belch that lets me know she's got it out of her system.
For the record, both our midwife and paediatric told us to put the baby on the breast, facing us after each meal. We should gently pat her on the back a couple of times. We should not wait for her to burp but pat her a only couple of times. Our daughter usually burped very quickly, but the advice was specifically not to try too hard to get a burp; if she needed, she would burp.

Woot Staff posts overrides user posts even though I posted the deal first?
I posted a deal first, then 3-4 minutes later, a Woot Staff posts the same deal. Well, next thing I learn that my deal gets removed? Is this how this site operates? I was even very detailed in my post while the other post had to "add" info with additional posts. Don't you guys check the time stamps of the deals before you remove posts?
I am probably blowing this out of proportion but its the principal. Don't you want this site to be user-generated? WOW, just wow!
16 Answers answer
I'm not sure exactly what deal you're talking about, but I assure you it was not done on purpose. If your deal was removed, I think I speak for the deals team as a whole when I say we look to please our community first and foremost!
I was going to comment about this in the specific deal. I actually tattled on the duplicate... a little later I noticed your deal was the one deleted.
@dealsmod1: This is the deal I'm referring to: http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/c871a326-16c8-4c44-a32d-b8a2689c2486/life-2009-blu-ray-4-disc#1
I can't give you a link on my original post because it got deleted. But if you have records of tattling. I did tattle a duplicate on that post. Minutes after I tattled, my post got deleted instead. I posted this deal about 3-4 minutes earlier than the post above. Right after I got my ebay daily email notification I went straight here to post.
I am a very thorough person and always make sure not to post duplicates by using the search feature and click on most recent, I hope the rest of the staff will try and do the same.
Also, if I may make a suggestion, if my post gets deleted or removed for any reason, I'd like to receive some notification on why it was removed.
tiger you need to point out which deal it is so that @jumbowoot can look into finding out who deleted the deal.
well never mind my post it looks kind of silly now.
@t8ig3r staff never informs members when a deal gets deleted. In the long run it will create less drama trust me. But you can always ask and in this case I think you are justified. Since it is clear that staff removed the wrong deal - Again.
I think it'd probably be OK if the staff actually looked at the deals instead of insta-deleting on a tattle.
Maybe for a duplicate tattle, require the URL of the alleged duplicate?
Could the deal have some minor difference in it, such as being narrated by Oprah, or blue ray vs dvd? Or maybe a different link/retailer? These things would then justify it not being a duplicate.
I often post 1saleaday.com deals which are then featured as sponsored deals an hour later. They delete my post almost immediately after theirs goes up. I've just gotten used to it...
@t8ig3r I agree there should be a notification system for deleting. I once had posted something negative about a product and my comment was deleted. I still don't know why...
is there any policy on merging truly duplicate deals? i've seen a few instances where helpful comments were also removed when the duplicate deal was removed, and thinking to myself "oh what did so-and so say about this product again?" only to find that the comments had not been moved to the official thread.
@goatcrapp: people have asked for that. At least that the votes be merged to the original deal. But nothing has been doing with the idea yet. Also I think it was suggested that if the original deal didn't have any info and the second deal did that the info be added by staff too, again nothing beyond staff thinking it was maybe a good idea.
@goatcrapp: btw I didn't mean to sound negative in my previous post. We have asked and asked. we seem to be ignored by staff in our request for it. So please keep on asking. I think it is a good idea to at least give the orginal deal poster the votes maybe, although I am a tiny bit conflicted on that but that is because if someone is just going down the line and voting for anything then I think that vote shouldn't count, if you catch my drift and I know there are people who do that.
But I do think that if someone spends time crafting a great descrption. Then the description should be kept even if it was the second deal, because there is the chance that the reason the deal was second is because the description was being so carefully crafted.
@goatcrapp, @hobbit: for the sake of "please keep on asking", I'll second (or eighteenth or whatever) the recommendation for deal merging.
on the other hand, I'm sure that it's not that the staff is ignoring the request as much as getting to grips how best to handle a deal merge (perhaps we can start a thread discussing this). it's probably best if there were a way to merge deals automatically (where the staff only needs to identify the relevant deals) than needing staff intervention to copy the best parts of each deal into a unified post (which might be neater, but more time consuming for the staff and result in accidental copy/paste errors or misquotes).
@dealsmod1: Any feedback or responses or are we just going to drop it like nothing happened?
@goatcrapp: & @hobbit: I really like the merging deals idea. In my original post, I shared a lot more useful information, options and personal opinion that may help others decide whether to wait for a better deal or hop on the current deal. I feel that removing useful posts and information on a deal even if its a duplicate is a waste of effort for those who actually put time and commitment in sharing their info/feedback/etc.
Merging descriptions and comments: here's how. When the dupe is deleted, the copy is wrapped into a comment in the winning thread. Simple as that. "Wrapped", because there needs to be some explanatory text, such as
This deal was posted elsewhere with the following description:
Wooters left these comments:
Votes could be included in the [blah], with no further voting allowed.
Votes against the deleted deal itself would have to be tracked -- if the same user voted for the original and the dupe, then that vote wouldn't be added.
Seems to me its either a little bit of coding, or a little bit of extra legwork by the moderators for manual-mode... either method wouldn't be all that hard to implement (albeit the to-do list is likely miles long, so that in and of itself becomes a challenge of prioritizing)
It also seems to me that there is a very large talent pool in this community to draw volunteers from in order to get things done manually, (this, and other requests) while having the added benefit of relieving the strain on the to-do pile.
Because the person with the highest rep wins???
Suck it up - as long as the deals get out there, we are ALL sticking it to the man.

I get that maybe people might want to use this stuff from Native code, but yeh... this is a Vista-only API! Are we ever going to see a really big managed push from Microsoft, or is every new technology going to come as COM first, then slowly get rolled into some System. namespace in the second version?
I read somewhere that they will be creating a .NET wrapper to expose the API's to us .NET developers.
something more to break on a laptop...
Isn't this what smart phones are for?
