Help Woth Fondant, Please!
Decorating By chrisrich Updated 10 Apr 2010 , 4:58pm by dalis4joe
I've used fondant before for accents, but this is the first time I've used it to cover an entire cake. I'm using the Satin Ice brand, if that makes a difference.
Can SOMEINE (anyone?) please give me some techiniques for getting the wrinkles out of the bottom of the cake? The cake is a pair of ta-ta's for a breast cancer survivor, so it's basically two cones sitting side by side covered in one piece of fondant.
I was happy with actually getting the fondant ON the cake (that was a concern of mine. However, now that I'm trying to smooth out the fondant for the ta-ta shape, the pair has come serious wrinkles at the bottoms/edges. Any advise of how to get this out for a smooth look?
Also, I'm noticing that in some areas, I can't get the cornstarch off am it looks like it's starting to get little cracks. Any advise of this?
Thanks for your help!
Not to be mean or anything, but those questions have been asked and answered many times. The search engine on CC is simple to use and quite helpful.
aaaw... let's not just send her on a search... she is in the middle of this...
You need to strech the fondant slowly and to the point where the wrinkles are past the cake edge... here take a look at this video.....
you might have to re-do it..... good luck and be patient don't let it get you all upset...
for the PS.... if you have an iron that has a steam setting... steam the cake... it's the best way.... if not.... airbrush some vodka..... or rub it very lightly with some shortening...

I love BIONICLE. If you've been following this blog, you'd know that, but if you haven't, well, I'm a fan of BIONICLE. I love the story and I love the sets. Hell, I even like the reboot. Yes, me, Mr. "I hate reboots", likes a reboot. Now, what does this have to do with today's Riff, you might be wondering. Well, today's Riff is about BIONICLE. Well, actually, the game BIONICLE Heroes, for GameCube, no less. What's funny is that I have that game for GameCube, and have played it. It's a lot of fun, though it completely ignores the story. (Seriously, why are Roodaka, Krekka, Nidhiki, Sidorak, Bohrok, and Vahki on Voya Nui? And why is Axonn a bad guy? And why does Roodaka have a male voice, even though she's obviously female?) Anyway, enough about my grievances with BIONICLE Heroes, it's time for a Riff.
(Note: There are a LOT of BIONICLE jokes here, so if you don't know much about it, you might have a problem.)
Before This Happened "I was an innocent child"
On June 27th 2004 i got a gamecube and a couple games for it. Whoopty shit. One Of them was Bionicle Heros It took me 10 days to complete it. I personally prefer BIONICLE Heroes to Bionicle Heros. That's just me though. But I did. I stopped Playing it after a year. 3 years later i tried to play it again because i wanted to beat it again but all it says is the typical Gamecube "Could Not Read Disc" Message. Wamp wamp wamp. So I went To Gamestop and i went through used games it took me a while to find it. but i found it at some point. "I also found the original BIONICLE game, but wisely decided against buying it." My mom bought it And I Went straight to my gamecube when i got home. "I had to use the bathroom, but my GameCube is more important."
The Beginning Of A Nightmare No, the nightmare began when I started reading this story.
So I Put the disc in there i didn't even look at the disc...I wish i did. That's what you get for being a dumbass. So It started Up Normally But instead Of the typical gamecube blueish purple. Instead…what? it was red Not blood red but just red. Oh. I Ingnored It And Continued. Haven't you read any gaming Creepypastas? If there's a minor glitch, it means you're going to die or go insane. I though to myself "Its Problably Just A Graphic error I mean i havent played this in 2 years so of course it will have graphic errors" I haven't played my GameCube in a while, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen. And I continued The Menu screen for it was normal And lo, the menu screen was normal. And in the save file, the was the holiest of games: BIONICLE Heroes. There was a save file already on there. Well of course there would be. Of course there is. I wanted to start a new game but when i Pressed A it did nothing. I think your controller is broken, genius.
So i went to the save file It Was 100% done So i started it. Screw new games, you just want to pick off from the end! The Loading Screen Was As Usual.And it started up in the final level of the game I was jaller i coulden't pick anyone else. And you had the dreaded Inika build! Oh no! and there was no masks. Well, no normal masks. Just those weird rubbery ones. And I Had All The Upgrades So I could beat him easy. But Vezon Or Fenrakk wasen't there. Well, of course not. Vezon is with Helryx, Lewa, and that Great Being who makes things come to life. It was all silent to no music. not even the boss music. Turn up the volume, dumbass. There was no mask of life either. I think it's on Bara Magna.
I moved around a little bit not knowing what to do. thats when i heard my door creaking. Because nothing's creepier than a door creaking. i looked behind me and it was closed. I looked back and jaller was at half a heart now. I said to myself "What attacked me?" I looked around and saw nothing. Slender Man is trolling people again. Then. And then, plot. It happened "I heard about the BIONICLE relaunch." A Weird Bionicle i never saw in a bionicle game it had the head of vezon but the body of jaller. Ugh. MOCs. and it was all black and red eyes. Correction: a MOC with custom pieces. It insta-killed Insta-killing is a thing, apparently my character.Thats when i knew something was wrong. Yep, not when the MOC from hell showed up, but when it "insta-kills" you. So i shut the game off i noticed it was 12:30 And i though "Oh S*** I Have To Go Bed! My Mom Is Gonna Kill Me" You think in asterisks? No, wait, you though in asterisks. So I Went to bed And I had this weird dream. I think you mean "wet dream." I was Inside Of The Game. You have some weird wet dreams. Visoraks All Around me And All of them lunged at me. And i woke up. That's what you get for carrying the Heart of the Visorak around with you.
Starting it up again Let's do the dumbass agaaaaaain…
As a Creepypasta Fan "and someone who is illiterate I Am When i Woke Up I Went Straight To The Gamecube And turned it on. Ok, a Creepypasta fan would think, "Gee, there's an MOC from hell that killed me in game, and possibly caused a weird nightmare. I should burn my GameCube." You, sir, are not a Creepypasta fan. You're that moron in a horror movie who immediately gets killed. It Wouldent start. Maybe it's a hint that you shouldn't play the game again. I Tried Again But Nope. Ok, at this point, I have no sympathy for you. If you die, the gene pool is that much cleaner. And Finally i started it one more time and instead of the blocks making a gamecube G It went straight to the Bionicles Menu. I see no problem with this. Loading screens and title credits are annoying. This Time It Wasn't Normal It Didn't Say Bionicle heros. It Said Bionicle Just Bionicle Oh no, you've got the original BIONICLE game! Run for your lives! Load game was gone. every option except new game was gone. "So, naturally, I picked new game and immediately died. The end." Wait… I tryed new game but no avail. Maybe you should have tried it instead. i tried it again and it Immediately went to the game No loading. Dude, this glitch seems kind of cool. No loading screen, no pre-game credits. I see no problem with this. I Was In another boss fight this time it was Vezok. Vezok was there. Really? I had no idea. I Was Vezon Though And That is weird sence this is a new game. It could be a secret prequel level. Vezon and Vezok don't get along, and have tried killing each other. And Vezok wasn't trying to kill me or anything. Ok, that's weird. When I pressed A it Showed A Cutscene Of Vezok getting crushed by a big rock. He Was Apparently Dead. No, he and the rest of the Piraka with the exception of Zaktan are thrown into a vat of energized protodermis, and end up creating some golden being.
So I Tryed To Grab His Mask But When I Did Vezon Immediately Died. Well, Vezon doesn't wear a mask. Toa and Makuta do. The Game Showed Jaller Apparently Dead Back In The Final Level. No, Matoro is the one who dies. Seriously, does this guy know anything about BIONICLE? Jaller Spoke "Help Me... I'm in a crappy Creepypasta." And Then It Went Back to the game. I Was Vezok this time I Was In A Graveyard. There are no graveyards in BIONICLE. There's just a red star. I Never Saw That Level In The Normal Game. BONUS LEVEL UNLOCKED I Paused It And I Went To My Computer And Played On It For 2 Hours. But, naturally, you didn't Google what was wrong with the game, if anyone had any problems like this, etc.
The Nightmare Continues Yes, the story is continuing.
I Went Back to my gamecube and i unpaused it. You're going to die and I will feel absolutely no pity for you. I noticed the graveyard was very long. You know what else is long? The scene in Star Trek: The Motion Picture where the Enterprise is in spacedock, and Kirk and Scotty are looking at it. What? Did you think I was going to make a dick joke? Please. I have some decency. And I Walked Vezok Through It. AND I WILL WALK FIVE HUNDRED KIOS JUST TO BE THE PIRAKA WHO WALKED FIVE HUNDRED KIOS! It Kept Popping Up Jaller, And Vezok Dead And i Finnaly Got the the end. The story's over? Finally. Vezon's Theme Played And A Boss Fight Started. Damn it. Jaller And Vezok Showed Up. And They Both Killed Vezok. So Jaller and Vezok kill Vezok? Ugh. Once alternate timelines were introduced, BIONICLE got really confusing. Vezon Spoke "You Shoulden't of Killed Us". I feel like Vezon would make some funny comment, actually. I personally consider Vezon the Deadpool of BIONICLE.
The Phone Rang I picked it up sence my mom told me to. She did? When? A Omnious Voice Spoke. Omnious? Is he some new Great Being? Just Like Vezon's Voice "You Shoulden't Of Killed Us" I never thought of Vezon as having an ominous voice. Or an Omnious one, for that matter. Then I heard A Knock at my door OH, I'M KNOCK KNOCK KNOCKING ON DUMBASS'S DOOR! i looked out the window. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw him. Shia LeBouf. Ok, I need to stop with the Shia LeBouf jokes. and there they were Vezon,And jaller were there. Vezon's adventures through the multiverse continue! Vezok was near them....Dead and his limbs were dismembered The sets of the later years broke very easily, so I'm not surprised. I shut off the gamecube and looked at the disc It didnt look anything like the normal disc You should have checked the disk before, dumbass. It Showed All The Bionicles (Excluding The Bosses) Dead. So they were all on the Red Star? I Burned The Disc And When I Burned It The Flame Went Out And The Smoke Created A Skull. Is this foreshadowing the Skull Spiders? Yet The Disc Was Burned. I Looked out my window and jaller,vezok,and vezon were gone. Because beings who can control fire, replicate the powers of those who attack them, and are just insane will totally leave when you burn a disk. I Will Never Look At Bionicle Heros The Same Way Again But what about BIONICLE Heroes?
Epilougue Finally, it's almost over.
My Mom Got A Disc Cleaner And Fixed My Old Bionicle Heros Game After It Was Done. And, naturally, you played it. Seriously, how are you not dead yet? I got my courage up and i started my gamecube The GameCube Screen was normal it Went to the menu normally. The screen was normal i went to load games and sadly my save files were corrupted and they deleted themselfs. I hate it when game files delete themselfs. At least they didn't delete themselves. I started a new game and i played the game normally. But 2 things bugs me. Just two? What was that thing at the start of the... "Game"? Is it a game? Is it a glitch? YOU DECIDE. And Why is there a fourth bonus level that looks exactly like the graveyard In My Old Game Now? Because the plot demands it. I Guess I will Never Know Because I Don't Dare Go Back to that graveyard I guess you did learn something.
May 17th 11:48 AM 2014 Second Epilouge Damn it, just end already!
I started Back up the game and got my courage to unlock the graveyard And you immediately died, right? Right? ...And I did It Automaticly Unlocked after i beat vezon and Fennrakk I went to it. Because…plot. It was excactly Just like the graveyard but no signs of vezok,jaller,or vezon dead. Because they're all on the Red Star. When i got to the end It Transported Me To What appeared To Be A Arena Where you fight the enemys that you unlock By Doing Certain Things. Glatorian: The Early Years. Then Another Boss fight started It Was Vezok I easily Destroyed Him Same With Jaller To. Um, Vezok is not someone you "easily destroy." Then the final one was Vezon And I Was Also Playing as Vezon. But The Enemy Vezon Didn't Have Fennrakk With him. What about Kardas? It Then Went To A Cutscene. Try skipping it, so that this story ends. Of The Two Vezons Fighting Disembering Each other Limb By Limb. I feel like doing something similar to the writer of this story. They Both Died And My Game Shut off by itself. Because games can do that. I Turned it Back On And The Game Played like normal i still had my save files and all my characters and upgrades And The fourth bonus level wasn't there anymore. And you decided that you should write about your experiences in a crappy Creepypasta. Next time, keep it yourself.
So, that's the Riff. To be honest, this story is garbage. Just...garbage. It's why I seemed a tad bit angry at the writer/narrator during the story. Also, it's just a dumb idea. If you were going to do a BIONICLE Creepypasta based on a game, do it on The Legend of Mata Nui, the BIONICLE GAME THAT WASN'T RELEASED. Yeah, an actual "lost game" based on BIONICLE. Hell, I planned to do a pasta based on that at one point, but decided against it because I had no good ideas for it.
And an interesting thing I found: apparently the writer of that piece of crap knew it sucks. So at least he's not a total moron. But yeah, this story is garbage. I mentioned in a post a few days ago that there were stories worse than "Jeff the Killer." Well, this one is a prime example. (Note: I wasn't talking about this story specifically. I just looked for bad Creepypasta stories, found one that said "BIONCILE", and thought, "I must have been a good little Dorkpool, because Christmas has come early this year." Then I read it and realized that I was wrong about it being a Christmas present.)
Anyway, what do you think? Do you think I was funny? Do think I was harsh? Do you wish I would end up on the Red Star? Leave your comments below.

Anyone found issues with hosting websites behind a CSS 11503 and any browser that isn't IE 7/8?
We are finding that any other browser including now IE 9 doesn't seem to carry the session through like it did on IE 7/8. We have a pretty basic config as shown here:

The sites themselves run fine in IE 7/8. and are running on IIS 6
We have a "dummy" site that doesn't go throguh the load balancer (same hardware/software/config) that works fine on all broswer types...
I don't have alot of exprince with the CSS so i'm open to any sugestions. I know the cause of our issues is with in the CSS as we have a duplicate site that doesn't go through the CSS and works against all versions of all browsers.
And to those that want to suggest calling cisco, this product is EOL and i don't have smartnet on it. (i'm trying to push management to get it but got to work with what i have)
Thanks for any directions you can point me in!

Core Research Area in Computer Vision
Computer vision is the study of images and video in order to extract meaningful information (e.g., "Is there a person in this photograph?"), make measurements (e.g., "How tall is the person in this photograph?"), and ultimately achieve a task-specific understanding of what is being seen. Robust computer vision techniques have many important potential applications, and research at the University of Delaware covers several such areas. Prominent among these include scene understanding, computational photography, camera systems, biometrics, medical image analysis, mobile robot perception, remotely sensed image analysis, and metric reconstruction of indoor/outdoor scenes.

The Supreme Court dealt a blow to the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion by telling states that participation in the program, expected to cover 17 million Americans, is completely optional. Seven states have already committed to opting out.
The ruling may, however, have a silver lining for the entitlement program: The Obama administration could be reticent to cut Medicaid funding at the same time it's trying to woo Republican governors into expanding the program.
"The Medicaid conversation has shifted since the debt talks," says Center for American Progress president Neera Tanden. "With the Supreme Court decision, there are governors out there who are going to take a strong signal if we were taking money back from Medicaid."
It would, as Tandeen puts it, "undermine the strong case the administration is making each and every day for governors to...do the Medicaid expansion."
The Center for American Progress released a health savings plan Wednesday that proposed $10 billion in Medicaid cuts. That's a far cry from the $100 billion in Medicaid cuts that the Obama administration proposed in debt reduction negotiations.
Tanden and her colleagues, however, make the case that times have changed: The Supreme Court decision fundamentally reshaped how the administration has to think about Medicaid spending.
"The states are watching to see if they can count on the federal government to pay their share," says Don Berwick, former Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services administrator and CAP senior fellow. "To signal to states now that Medicaid is vulnerable is misguided."
In 2014, the federal government will start covering 100 percent of the costs for each newly-eligible beneficiary enrolled through the Medicaid expansion. The 100 percent match rate does not, however, last forever. After the first three years, the federal government's match rate starts dropping: It will pay 95 percent of the cost beginning in 2017 and then, in 2020, foot 90 percent of the bill.
States already fear that the federal government might decide to ratchet back even further, the National Association of Medicaid Directors' Matt Salo said shortly after the Supreme Court decision. After all, why wouldn't it rejigger a program that pays for Medicaid at a rate much higher than it has traditionally spent?
"When you see the administration pushing hard on the expansion, and then talking about maybe backing away from Medicaid funding, that could have a chilling effect," says Salo. "It can get you thinking, maybe this 100 percent match we're being pressured to take is actually going to be less than that."
There are a lot of states on the fence right now on the Medicaid expansion. The Advisory Board Company estimates that only nine states have fully committed to implementing the expansion. That leaves a lot of states on the fence, still deciding what they will do on a crucial aspect of the health law's coverage expansion. How the Obama administration handles Medicaid might be one tea leaf they read as they make weigh the decision.

Venice is located on the marshy Venetian Lagoon and is made up of 118 small islands separated by a maze of canals and linked by more than 400 bridges. You probably know about some of Venice's most historic sites like the dazzling Italo-Byzantine style Basilica de San Marco and the nearby Doges Palace.However, there's so much more to this unique locale than those two landmarks. Here's a quick guide on visiting Venice in style and it's easier than you can ever imagine! You'll surely have a grand time exploring the City of Canals.

Edinson Volquez gets another chance to shine. Harness that stuff, EV.
LOLOL. Stubbs back in the leadoff spot and I will bet you can't guess what he did to start the game off. That is right. Stubbs Ks. Yawn. 188. I am thinking after Arroyo got the club record for home runs allowed, Dusty has decided to go to the whip to get Stubbs enough PAs so he sets the all-time strike out record.
Renteria pops to second. Joey Votto's first look at Pomeranz. Flies to the warning track.
Edinson Volquez plus the first inning coming up.
Pitch number one from Volquez is very LaLooshish. Whoa! EV punches out the leadoff hitter. Nice to see. Walks the second man he faces on four pitches. Eek.
No Helton.
No Giambi.
No Cargo.
No Tulowitzki.
Volquez pitching against a AAA lineup.
Todd Frazier with a Rolen-like play on a dribbler at third. Two outs and a duck on the pond.
Bouncer back to the mound. A scoreless first.
Jay Bruce gets drilled by a horsehide spheroid.
4-6-3. Heisey's first GIDP of the season.
Razor bumps his value by adding a walk to his resume.
Frazier sends Wigginton to the wall. Close.
we must get stubbs his numbers
In fact this is the number I would like to get Baker ZERO= the amount of games he contrinues to manage
This stadium is a launching pad. Kouzmanoff flies out to the warning track. Wigginton whiffs. Heisey grabs a liner to left. Two innings in the book and we still have a scoreless contest.
Coco is coming back. At least it's looking that way. Per Fay.
Valaika gets the Reds off the old hit schneid. Ground single to left. EV nubs him along to second.
Interesting, the Dodgers are at .500 after being 14 games under on July 14. I remember Mattingly saying at one point that he had made every mistake you can make as a manager this year. I guess that is the difference between he a Dusty. Dusty did not learn from his mistakes.
I think the Reds need to let CoCo go.
Give Dusty some time. He has only been managing for about two decades or so.
Doesn't every small-market team with limited resources extend their 36-year old closer for big bucks?
Mattingly admitted he made mistakes too and he could have blamed a lot on circumstances.

Did you catch my chat this afternoon with Richard Rushfield from the Los Angeles Times (and soon to be Gawker) over at mjsbigblog? A total of 655 people joined us via coveritlive. If you weren't one of them, you can read a transcript of the chat here. We had so much fun we're talking about doing it again next month!
|Q&A with Richard Rushfield and Brian Mansfield
|[Be Right Back Countdown]
|5 minutes
|mjsbigblog: Welcome to today's Q&A session with Brian Mansfield of USA Today's Idol Chatter, and Richard Rushfield of the LA Times.
|mjsbigblog: Welcome Richard and Brian...
|RichardRushfield: Hello MJ! Hello Idol nation!
|Brian Mansfield: Thanks, MJ. Hi, Richard! Good to talk with you (sort of) again.
|RichardRushfield: A pleasure once again Brian
|mjsbigblog: The questions are already beginning to queue up, so here we go...
|[Comment From beth5343]
Of the Season 8 contestants that aren't signed yet, who do you think has the best shot at a successful career
|RichardRushfield: Brian you are the industry expert-
|Brian Mansfield: Well, Danny, obviously, but only if he can figure out what he wants to do and it happens to be the same thing that his audience wants to hear from him. That's far from a given.
|[Comment From Stacy]
What do you want to see more of on Idol: Contestants like Danny, (with a natural ability but no formal training/ experience) Kris, (who may not be as powerful of singers but are talented musicians/ artists) or Adam, (Someone who's been doing this for a long time, to the point of "Why hasn't anyone signed theis guy already?)
|RichardRushfield: But i would just say, in my years covering idol ive never seen anyone emerge from the show with more iof a head of steam behind him than adam
|Brian Mansfield: Heard that, Richard.
|[Comment From calper143]
What about Matt Giraud? I think he has a more than decent shot at a successful career
|RichardRushfield: Hi Stacy, Ive always thought the professiaonalism thing is fine by me. IF david lee roth wants to throw his hat in the ring let him
|Brian Mansfield: I actually like the mix -- and you've described it well. I thought the three very different types of singers (in terms of their strengths) really made for an interesting finish.
|Brian Mansfield: I think Matt's probably got the biggest upside outside this year's final four.
|RichardRushfield: Calpert - Matt was fantasitc in his opening song on the show. Has lots of charisma
|RichardRushfield: I can see him doing well in lots of arenas
|[Comment From Catherine]
I found Anoop to have a great stage presence at the Staples show. Could he have an R 'n'B and Bollywood career?
|RichardRushfield: Its interesting that he's taking on this hosting gig...I could see his career going that way and doing well
|RichardRushfield: I thought the territory anoop was carving out as R and B nerd was pretty intersting. I couild see that having legs
|Brian Mansfield: Anoop's certainly got his following. Haven't heard anything about a Bollywood career. I wonder? I don't know that he'll have a big mainstream-type career, but he could carve out a niche for himself, certainly.
|[Comment From laurie]
as writers how do you remain objective when you write a review?
|RichardRushfield: i dont at all! im a critic
|Brian Mansfield: A review's by definition kind of subjective. But I do try to look at it from different angles, see what the audience sees in the act.
|[Comment From AC]
Do you read other Idol reviews during the season and does that affect your opinion on how you thought a contestant did?
|Brian Mansfield: I do some, but not as much as I'd like. I change my opinion more often based on how my readers think somebody did.
|RichardRushfield: but when i write my stories, i also kinda see it as my job to sorta go inside the person im interviewing's story, and see it from their perspective
|[Comment From June]
What has been the most surprising thing about the idols this year?
|RichardRushfield: AC- I read much of them...and generally feel bad that the other reviewers like brian are so much more knowledgable about music than i am
|Brian Mansfield: June, I think for me it was how well all of them translated to the concert stage.
|RichardRushfield: June- the big surprise of the year has to be the emergence of kris allen. That was the quietest climb to the top i think idols ever seen. I remember at the top 13 night....no one was even talking to him...
|[Comment From Linda]
Do you think Adam will still have a big career if his new CD isn't great?
|Brian Mansfield: No.
|Brian Mansfield: Or, to clarify, if the people that want to like Adam don't think it's great. If that happens, there's trouble.
|RichardRushfield: They need to have good songs...thats always been the sine qua non
|[Comment From abbysee]
a follow up to the anoop question, why won't he have a shot
|RichardRushfield: and brian, i echo what you said abovbe about them in concert. Still is fairly amazing to me
|RichardRushfield: I think anoop will have a shot
|[Comment From June]
Has ( and If so-- how has this season been different similar to past seasons? thank you
|Brian Mansfield: I think Anoop's got a shot, but that "R&B nerd" thing, as Richard calls it, may be a tough sell to a big audience. But as an a cappella fan who loved his pre-Idol videos, I'm pulling for him.
|Brian Mansfield: I can't really be objective on this season versus past, because I watched it a completely different way this year, since I was covering it for the first time. Richard?
|RichardRushfield: June - i think this year's group were maybe the most skilled ever, but they were the slickest ever too. One thing that was interstin, this was the first year where, when someone was eliminated, the others never cried for them
|RichardRushfield: This was the first time they all understood what the game was and were all there to win
|Brian Mansfield: Huh - I never picked up on that.
|RichardRushfield: I love them all, but there was a professionalism i havent seen from the group before
|[Comment From abbysee]
do you think the talent has gotten better over the years?
|Brian Mansfield: For me, another interesting question is how will Adam's performance this season affect them kind of singers we'll see next season.
|Brian Mansfield: I think it's gotten more professional over the years, as people have seen it's a legitimately viable way to a successful career.
|RichardRushfield: Yes, that is interesting brian, I saw a lot of adam clones out at the auditions
|[Comment From June]
Which performances on the tour have really stood out for you the most?
|Brian Mansfield: But, better? Hard to say it's gotten better than Kelly. Maybe deeper talent.
|RichardRushfield: I think the 5th - 12th place finishers are stronger each year..
|Brian Mansfield: Matt's Hard to Handle. Lil's Single Ladies - from the first half.
|RichardRushfield: On the tour...I thought anoop, matt's first song, lil i thought was great
|Brian Mansfield: Love Adam's Muse cover, and I was very impressed with Allison entire set. Finally felt like I got what she was all about.
|RichardRushfield: And the top four all were really really strong for me
|Brian Mansfield: Exactly
|RichardRushfield: Everyone of them though, was better than they were ever on the show
|RichardRushfield: Michael Sarver's opening song is very fun
|Brian Mansfield: Right. If you liked Season 8, the show's totally worth the money.
|RichardRushfield: Megan is a delight, of course
|[Comment From Chris]
Lots of fans (myself included) have complained about fewer songs in the Top Five and beyond because of the judges chatter. In the end, though, did it produce higher quality music because the contestants didn't have to learn as much new material each week?
|Brian Mansfield: Me, I prefer more music, fewer judges, too. I don't know that it produced higher-quality music this way.
|RichardRushfield: Chris- i think this was the year the judges as a group went off the rails. It was completely out of control this year,. it cut off the contestants time, dominated the show, and caused uit to run over every week
|Brian Mansfield: Probably helped Danny, not having to learn more songs. Kris & Adam could've probably handled another.
|[Comment From Stacy]
What is one thing you want changed for season 9, and one change from this season that you want to keep?
|[Comment From taks]
What do you guys think about the overall changes that were made in Season 8 to Idol- 4th judge, Judge's save, Wildcard format, etc? What should stay, what should go?
|RichardRushfield: Change - cut the number of judges. Keep - ui think the save worked very well. Fell into place perfectly and gave an extra dimension of drama
|Brian Mansfield: I thought the judges' save turned into a joke, absolutely useless by the time they used it. Wouldn't mind a judges' change - I'm neutral on the Paula question, for instance.
|RichardRushfield: Interesdting sidenote- the save originated on french idol, where, being french, the judges went and used it the first night instantly and the drama was all gone
|Brian Mansfield: Well, that would've been bad, too.
|[Comment From dhunken]
Do you think the save should have been used on Alexis Grace?
|RichardRushfield: Brian - i could see a scenario whre matt, after having been saved, really turned it around and went even further...
|RichardRushfield: dhunken - i wish they had!
|RichardRushfield: But i know they didnt want to follow france's mistake and use it so quickly
|Brian Mansfield: Except the audience kept trying to get rid of Matt. Re: Alexis Grace - yes and no. I liked her a lot but every time I've seen her since, she's been real pitchy.
|[Comment From Kirsten]
Oops. And then I sent send. So, I'll ask an odd question (a question to ask if you run out of good questions). If they were to audition for Idol, what song would they sing? What would they predict Simon would say to them?
|Brian Mansfield: I'm not convinced the audience was wrong, but I wish they were.
|Brian Mansfield: It would take me months to figure that out. But if I could sing like Jackie Wilson, I would.
|Brian Mansfield: I did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at the American Idol Experience at Walt Disney World. But I only had about 10 songs to choose from. Got on the show, but lost.
|[Comment From abbysee]
Why do you think certain people Lil and Matt for example are thriving now, and yet, they underperfomrmed on the show
|RichardRushfield: Ha, I would probably sing Alexander's Ragtime Band or Hooray for Captain Spalding, and Id be used on the compliation of clips of the weirdos who tried out
|Brian Mansfield: The judges totally got into Lil's head. She's more free to be herself now. Also, some people just don't develop as quickly as Kris did -- or have the experience that Adam did. Remember Jennifer Hudson?
|RichardRushfield: Abby - i think lil and matt both were during the show just overcome by their nerves and broken down by the judges and second guessing every move
|RichardRushfield: Yes, exactly brian
|Brian Mansfield: But that developing thing is key to Kris' win. The audience loves to see somebody learning quickly.
|Brian Mansfield: And it's a great skill to have once you get into the real industry.
|[Comment From Lisa]
Do you have a "favorite" contestant from this season? One that you really enjoyed watching/one that you really enjoyed listening to?
|RichardRushfield: The early favorite almost never wins!
|RichardRushfield: This is a year that I really felt i didnt care who won, i liked so many of them.
|Brian Mansfield: I don't really - I'm more a fan of the process.
|RichardRushfield: But i'll always remember alexis and megan
|RichardRushfield: And allison, and adam, and kris...and all of them i guess. hard to say!
|[Comment From lisa]
Have you had a chance to interview each idol personally? Which one was the most fun to interview? Most comfortable? Outgoing?
|[Comment From Unidentified]
Who've been the least/most pleasant idols to deal with? Does their personality off stage ever creep into your on-stage review?
|Brian Mansfield: I've gotten about 10 minutes with each from this season, and I've interviewed most of the big ones, at least briefly. Phil Stacey and I really connected. Ditto Chris Sligh. But those are kinda my locals.
|RichardRushfield: lisa- this group is all really fun to talk to, especially after the show has ended. I would say, Matt Giraud is consistently hilarious when you talk, he's the class clown so i always enjoy that. When you can get anoop and matt together they are really funny p;laying off each other
|Brian Mansfield: I agree totally with Richard about this season.
|[Comment From Guest]
How much pressure, if any, do you feel to slant an article so as to increase online visits? How do you feel about the way the journalism industry is evolving?
|RichardRushfield: Unidentified - there is a big list tying for most pleasant...Many that ive really enjoyed knowing. Carly smithson of course stands out. For least, wont say names, but one person from season six stands out
|Brian Mansfield: I don't really sweat that, but I think a lot about my headlines and what might drive search traffic. I'm not crazy about gossip journalism and try to temper that side of a story whenever possible. I'll do something else before I go to deep in that direction.
|RichardRushfield: Guest- i dont feel that pressure at all, however, i know that when i or someone else gets really passionate about one contestant, the blog becomes kinda a hub for their fans. It was like that when i was writing about carly...adn this year when my collegue ann powers was writing about adam
|[Comment From AINow]
Do you agree that something needs to be done about how Idol arrives at the Top 12? I think the Top 36 strategy was a disaster.
|RichardRushfield: As for how its evolving, im all for change and shaking things up, Scary times for a journalism pro, but i say bring it on
|Brian Mansfield: I wasn't crazy about Top 36 - I felt like it gave the show's biggest demographics too much power, since people were voting for their three favorites each week, instead of elminating the least popular.
|Brian Mansfield: I think that might be one reason you wound up with a lot of white worship leaders.
|[Comment From musicfan]
Do you think the over-the-top producer manipulation will decrease last year after the apparent backlash against Danny?
|RichardRushfield: AI now- The top 36 definitely kept us from having a chance to connect with the kids in those early days...but it gave us a pretty good top 13...all and all id say go back to the old one. And intersting point brian!
|Brian Mansfield: Not if they think more over-the-top manipulation will help the ratings!
|Brian Mansfield: And a lot of the backlash came out on Danny because he couldn't measure up to early expectations. If he'd wrecked the house every week, nobody would've cared how much they talked about his dead wife.
|RichardRushfield: musicfan - No, the manipulation will always go more and more over the top, its a law of nature
|[Comment From ashlyn]
Which performer(s) would you pay money to see perform live?
|Brian Mansfield: Think of manipulation as the ramp going up as you get ready to jump that shark.
|RichardRushfield: ha! excellent analogy
|Brian Mansfield: Yikes, that's a tough one for a guy who gets more than his fair share of freebies!
|RichardRushfield: Ashlyn - id pay to see many of this years,....Not sure how much though
|[Comment From CJ]
Does the Idol mania seem greater this year or the same as always?
|Brian Mansfield: I looked at it differently this year, so I'm not sure I've got a good gauge.
|RichardRushfield: CJ- i think it seemed down this year from last, was my kinda sense until then end when i think the adam phenom, and adam vs. kris turned it up a few notches
|[Comment From lizardino]
So who do you think will end up at the judge's table this fall?
|Brian Mansfield: I still think it's Paula. A lot of this talk looks like posturing, negotiating in public.
|RichardRushfield: lizard--- hard to say at this moment, kara and paula are the outstanding questions...but if i had to bet, id put my money that it will end up the same lineup as last year when all is said and done
|[Comment From colette]
Richard, I loved your column about America getting it right, how the journey of Kris Allen was inspiring and also the red state/blue state bridging in Adam & Kris. From what you've heard of from Kris since then, do you still feel that way? thankx
|[Comment From sue brody]
Brian and Richard, hi! I was wondering who your favorite past Idols were (winning or not) and why? Do you see any Idol (e.g., Kris or ADAM) having as successful a career as, say, Carrie or Kelly?
|Brian Mansfield: I do find it troubling for the show's future that the contracts are going so high as the show's ratings are clearly dipping.
|RichardRushfield: Paula is genuinely i think prepared rto walk, but i dont think she will
|Brian Mansfield: Carrie's a personal favorite, since I see her more than any other winner - and she's a real sweetheart. Depending on their material, I could see Kris or Adam breaking wide.
|RichardRushfield: collette - thank uyou. and yes, i stand by that. I think kris is a great champion for the show. He is the american idol story, rags to riches, ect. and we got to see him grow as a performer. And i think adam is a great great talent and will go on to an amazing career
|Brian Mansfield: Ditto.
|[Comment From beth5343]
do you have any theories on why adam didn't win? was it danny/kris splitting the "non-rock" vote?
|RichardRushfield: And Carly Smithson is the greatest idol in history
|Brian Mansfield: I think Adam polarized people, for one reason or another. Kris matches the strongest Idol demographics, he's the perfect kind of contestant for the show (for the reasons Richard just said). Plus, how hard is it to hate the guy?
|RichardRushfield: Beth - in the end, adam was not the am idol story,. He was so talented, so at ease from the moment he stepped on stage...and also so cool, i mean cool as in didnt get choked up or emotional when he went home for instance. And kris was the idol story to a tee
|[Comment From taks]
Richard, how different did Kris's set feel with "All These Things That I've Done" in place of "No Boundaries"?
|Brian Mansfield: That said, polarizing sells. It's an old industry axiom.
|Brian Mansfield: That's what I wanna know.
|RichardRushfield: Taks- on the opening night i actually thought boundaries was okay, brian pointed out to me what a dud it had been...but then on subsequent nights it was clear it brought the set to a screeching halt. Mucyh much better without it.
|[Comment From Christy]
What about the gender gap, the past few years the Top 12 is always equal girls and guys. Was this year's change for the better?
|Brian Mansfield: Wouldn't want to see it repeated like that every year, but I was fine with it this time.
|RichardRushfield: Christy - i think that was a travesty! The girls have it hard enough on this show. But i suspect it may have been about concert tic sales
|RichardRushfield: The more boys there are, the better tickets sell
|[Comment From taks]
Follow up to Brian's comment about "white worship leaders": Were you aware that Kris was a worship leader at the time? Do you think that is a reason Idol voters sent him to the Top 13?
|Brian Mansfield: That community was aware of Kris and Danny, less so of Matt and Michaels' backgrounds. But ultimately I think it was a less direct connection.
|[Comment From dhunken]
What do you guys think of the whole Kelly/ Beyonce controversy.
|Brian Mansfield: I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop. I still want to hear Ryan go on the record. And stay there.
|RichardRushfield: dhunken - dont really have any strong op. Brian?
|[Comment From Winks]
Do you feel with the onslaught of voting by text we could be in for more "questionable" voting issues? And do you think the voting should be changed?
|Brian Mansfield: Probably. But I haven't come up with a better voting scenario. And, really, it's not about the votes, it's about engaging viewers. If you engage them to mass vote, well, all the better -- at least for the sponsors.
|RichardRushfield: Winks- im sure that phony controversies will spring up about it every year, but i think its fine. the voting system favors not just the biggest fan base but the most passionate and driven, which in the end is not a bad way to gauage the future sucess of a pop star
|[Comment From Sarah]
Some people are saying that with the demographics of the current AI viewers, a woman will never win again. What do you think?
|Brian Mansfield: Nah - the audience usually gets it right, and they've been pretty good about picking a variety. And the producers have been pretty good about putting a good variety in the show from which to choose.
|RichardRushfield: Sarah- its gotten really tough for the girls, and the texting - which means more young girls voting which means more votes for the boys makes it harder.
|[Comment From lizardino]
Richard -- how do you think your new role at Gawker will affect the way you cover Idol -- or will it?
|RichardRushfield: As far as Im concerned, americans tween girls have blood on their hands and should have their phoens taken away
|RichardRushfield: Lizardino refers to my impending move from the LAT to gawker. It will not effect at all, except i'll prob have less time to visit the set...but i plan to keep writing the same way...and may do some idol writing in other places beyond gawker so stay tuned
|[Comment From JK]
Do you think Idol will ever release the itunes sales numbers for season 7 and 8. If not why do you think this is?
|Brian Mansfield: If they haven't released 7 by now, I can't imagine they will.
|RichardRushfield: jk- i think thats like the voting numbers- they like to keep the mystery up for all that
|RichardRushfield: Almost 500 people here now! Great crowd! And so early on my coast
|[Comment From taks]
How do you think the coronation song should be handled? The reception of "No Boundaries" tells us something needs to be changed, right?
|Brian Mansfield: Well, I don't think you should have Kara write it anymore, that's for sure. That problem seems like it ought to be easy to fix, but apparently it's not.
|Brian Mansfield: But, dang, all the good songwriters in my town and they can't do better, year in and year out? sheesh.
|RichardRushfield: Taks, something needs to change definitely, not sure what the answer is. I thought Time of My Life and This is My Now were both plausible songs...if not thrilling
|Brian Mansfield: Maybe they should let more white worship leaders write them, then!
|[Comment From AC]
What past contestant are you surprised that they never got signed and/or made it big?
|[Comment From dhunken]
Is there anyone that was in the top 36 that you think should have been in the top 12/13?
|RichardRushfield: Dhunken - this year there were a lot! ju'not joyner stands out. And i loved jackie tohn
|Brian Mansfield: Past contestants, dunno -- I've been more surprised at how well some of the others have done! I think anybody from about 10-25 would've been interchangeable at some level. Wouldn't have represented a big quality drop.
|RichardRushfield: Alexandrea Lushington last year
|RichardRushfield: and alaina whittaker
|Brian Mansfield: Boy, there are two singers who show how important song selection is.
|[Comment From Sarah]
Towards the end of the show there seemed to be a lot of fixation from Idol peeps (Ryan, the writers, whoever) about this "guyliner vs. guy next door" story line. It was kind of offensive and non-sensical to me. Any ideas on why they were trying to promote that?
|Brian Mansfield: 'Cause it had a nice rhythm to it.
|RichardRushfield: It was a very clear story line! SUch a contrast between them and their backgrounds, it really would have been hard to walk away from that
|Brian Mansfield: and because they got along so well. If they'd been at each others' throats, they might not have gone that direction.
|RichardRushfield: It really was the most good spirited competiton between the two that one can imagine
|RichardRushfield: Last year, the big brother thing of david cook to david arch was way overplayed, but this year i think it was as it seemed
|RichardRushfield: I wonder if MJ hit a lag, that can happen..
|Brian Mansfield: So, when are you done at the Times, Richard?
|mjsbigblog: Sorry. My pc rebooted! I'm back now..
|[Comment From jtoms]
how long do you think idol should keep going? ryan just signed on for another three years. is there a danger of market over-saturation of singers coming from idol?
|RichardRushfield: Tuesday is my last day..And if i can make the plug. will be popping up in september at gawker.com and please watch richardrushfield.com for annoucnements to come
|RichardRushfield: jtoms - for me idol is like football or baseball, it should always be part of the cutlure
|[Comment From Christy]
How late is too late for a Danny Gokey record deal? We've been hearing about the possibilities for two months now, do you think it will happen?
|Brian Mansfield: I don't think there's a danger to the market. Maybe a danger to the Idols. I wouldn't be surprised if it went off the air at the end of the new round of contracts. It might be awfully hard to keep giving people raises. You know it's not going to get bigger ratings than it has now. But I hope it's around longer.
|RichardRushfield: There is always a deal out there to be had- its just a question of what kinda of deal and how big
|Brian Mansfield: He's talking to the people in town he needs to talk to. If they don't announce before Aug. 19 (is that right?), it won't be a big deal. But once it's done, he needs to get his butt moving.
|Brian Mansfield: But he'll probably be coming to Nashville, and they know how to get stuff done quickly here.
|[Comment From mmb]
why do you think 19 did not sign Danny...after all the praise and hype by the judges, it is surprising
|RichardRushfield: I'll leave that to brian but i think danny is obvious than allison what the niche is
|Brian Mansfield: It might actually be pretty complicated, and I don't know that they're done with him. I could see some kind of partnership with a company that has better ties to the market where his audience is.
|[Comment From Guest]
In what genre, fusion of genres, or market do you see Adam most likely succeeding out of the box?
|Brian Mansfield: It may also have something to do with Danny, personally. If he doesn't want to be part of the Christian marketplace, he could have trouble catching on.
|RichardRushfield: I think adam will do something very poppy...The fact that he's working with lady gaga's producer says a lot
|Brian Mansfield: But with an edge towards dance culture.
|mjsbigblog: One more, and then I'm going to give Brian and Richard a chance to wrap up
|RichardRushfield: totally
|[Comment From Kirsten]
The judges harp on song choice. What song choices this year were brillian and which were epic disasters? Or are the jduges wrong and song choice is a minor element?
|Brian Mansfield: Two words: Mad World. And one more: Heartless. If anything, the judges underplay the importance of song choice.
|RichardRushfield: hmmm...i think adam's mad world,. yes
|Brian Mansfield: Rockin' Robin's the epic fail that jumps out to me. You knew Megan Joy wasn't going anywhere then.
|RichardRushfield: As for disasters, we didnt have too many in the top 13 rounds...Megan's rocking robin might havbe been an odd choice. but i liekd it
|RichardRushfield: ha! great minds brian!
|Brian Mansfield: That's why I love that so many people pitted our reviews against each other's after opening night.
I had so many questions, we could defintely do a follow up :)
|Brian Mansfield: Name the date.
We'll talk. :).
|RichardRushfield: well as i mentioned on my blog there was like this discussion of who was more pro and anti adam and kris...but i think we are both pretty prop both of them
|Brian Mansfield: Absolutely. I was just anti-No Boundaries. And, hey, somebody had to say it.
|RichardRushfield: And id love to return anytime. Mj's is the UN
of idol nation!
|Brian Mansfield: Ha!
|RichardRushfield: kinda a mixed metaphor there, but the sentiment holds
Brian, Richard, anything you would like to plug?
|RichardRushfield: So lets do it again in August.
Sounds good to me. :)
|Brian Mansfield: Thanks, everybody, for coming out for this -- did we really get more than 500 people? And, yes, MJ, I'd like to plug the redesign of Idol Chatter, which launched yesterday. Check it out at http://idolchatter.usatoday.com and let me know what you think!

we read a book every night before bed and sometimes during the day Guess how much I love you is one of my favorite too!!
i just love the simple watercolor illistrations and the book is just beautiful. i could read it to her everyday.

Reconciling Informed Consent and 'Do No Harm': Ethical Challenges in Palliative-Care Research and Practice in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Gardiner, Clare
Barnes, Sarah
Small, Neil
Gott, Merryn
Payne, Sheila
Seamark, David
Halpin, David
Bibliographic Citation
Palliative medicine 2010 Jul; 24(5): 469-72
The challenges associated with patient-based research in palliative care are well documented. This paper focuses on the ethical challenges and discusses them in the context of a pilot study to explore the palliative-care needs of patients with moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The main ethical challenge encountered related to problems surrounding the use of terminology, specifically the terms 'palliative care' and 'chronic obstructive pulmonary disease'. The approving ethics committee specified that these terms be removed from all patient materials in order to protect patients from undue distress. The impact of this ethical advice on patients' ability to give fully informed consent is discussed. This paper highlights a requirement for appropriately resourced and well-managed studies in palliative care, and identifies a need for the development of appropriate strategies in order to ensure the informed participation of patients with non-cancer diagnoses in palliative-care research.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Angel Cabrera never knows when he's going to play his best golf. This could be shaping up as one of those weeks at the Wells Fargo Championship.
On a Quail Hollow course that lets the Argentine hit driver on just about every hole, two exquisite short-game shots late in the second round carried Cabrera to a 3-under 69 on Friday and a share of the lead with Martin Flores going into the weekend.
It was the first time Cabrera had at least a share of the 36-hole lead on the PGA Tour since the 2007 U.S. Open at Oakmont. The last time he was part of the lead after any round was in the 2013 Masters.
With one of the most powerful and reliable swings in golf, the mystery about the 44-year-old Argentine is that his only two on the PGA Tour are majors — Oakmont for the U.S. Open, and Augusta National when he won the Masters in a playoff in 2009.
Flores couldn't ask for a better start, and his finish wasn't too bad, either. Flores began his second round birdie-eagle when he holed out with a wedge from 105 yards in the 11th fairway. He added a pair of birdies late in his round for a 68.
They were at 9-under 135, one shot ahead of Justin Rose, who had a 67.
Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy went the other direction.
Mickelson, one shot out of the lead to start the second round and perfect conditions ahead of him, seemed to miss every putt that he made on Thursday.
He had a 75 and fell seven shots out of the lead.
McIlroy had a 76 and made the cut on the number at 1-over 145.
LEE, MASSON SHARE LEAD IN NORTH TEXAS: In Irving, Texas, Meena Lee shot a season-best 64 that included a nine-hole stretch without a par, and Caroline Masson had her second straight 67 to share the lead in the North Texas LPGA Shootout.
At 8-under 134, Lee and Masson were stroke ahead of Texan Stacy Lewis and Natalie Gulbis.
LANGER, BRYANT SHARE LEAD AT INSPERITY INVITATIONAL: In The Woodlands, Texas, Bernhard Langer birdied the final six holes for a share of the lead with Bart Bryant in the Champions Tour's Insperity Invitational.
Langer matched Bryant at 6-under 66 at The Woodlands Country Club. Langer won the 2007 event at Augusta Pines and successfully defended his title in 2008 at The Woodlands.
The 56-year-old German player won the season-opening event in Hawaii for his 19th Champions Tour title and has 20 straight under-par rounds.
Defending champion Esteban Toledo was a stroke back. Last year, he became the first Mexican winner in Champions Tour history, beating Mike Goodes with a par on the third hole of a playoff.

SRP Harmonicas by
Steven R. Pruitt Harmonica Technician
- Chromatic Specialist
News about Simple Sounds
The first harmonica I bought for myself was a Hohner
260 Chromonica in 1983. I also play diatonic and orchestral
harmonicas, but with a background in woodwind instruments
(clarinet & saxophone), I'm partial towards the
chromatic with its range and full chromatic scale. Therefore,
I'm happy to focus on the chromatic harmonica for my
services, and leave the diatonic to my colleagues, Joe
Filisko, Richard Sleigh, and Jimmy Gordon. For the world's
best diatonics I recommend you see their site at http://www.customharmonicas.com

According to the Associated Press, four workers at the Sri Lankan private broadcaster's headquarters were injured (March 22) during a protest to stop an Akon concert scheduled to take place in Colombo in April.
A handful of individuals were taken into custody for pelting the Maharaja Organization's headquarters. As a result of the pelting, the Maharaja building's exterior was damaged. The workers' injuries are not life threatening.
Protestors were upset at the imagery of Buddha presented in the music video, "Sexy Chick," a clip Akon was featured in alongside David Guetta. The video features nearly naked video vixens dancing around a pool with a Buddha statue nearby. Akon and his label have yet to address the incident.

Bin 389 is often referred to as 'Poor Man's Grange' or 'Baby Grange', in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. First made in 1960, by the legendary Max Schubert, this was the wine that helped to build Penfolds solid reputation with red wine drinkers. Combining the structure of Cabernet with the richness of Shiraz, Bin 389 also exemplifies Penfolds skill in judiciously balancing fruit and oak.
On this page you can download the vintage release tasting notes and independent critic drinking recommendations for each wine, extracted from The Rewards of Patience (seventh edition).

Right, that wraps up game 33. I don't need to remind you to tune in at 1600 IST for Warne v Tendulkar. And then we have Pune v Bangalore in the evening. Until then, this is Nitin Sundar signing off. Cheers!
Presentation time:
Tiwary is Man of the Match "Thanks to the bat sponsors (what a smart plug!), thanks to them I am connecting my shots. I tried to stay till the end, and the others played around me, things worked well for me today. (As he speaks, the team owner pounces on him from behind and hugs him...). Hope to continue my contributions."
Gambhir: "The guys showed a lot of desperation, we all wanted to win desperately ... I never expected so much spin on such a grassy wicket. Everyone contributed in his own way, and if you manage to defend a score of 148 it gives the team a lot of confidence. Our bowlers showed what they are made of. My heart and soul is with KKR, I am not a Delhi boy anymore (big cheers before he says that, not so big after.)"
Sehwag: "We had enough batsmen, but no one took the responsibility to finish the job for the team. I said 150-160 is easily chasable, but KKR bowled well."
Mayank: "Atleast Agarkar did better than a first ball duck.." Leave that man alone I say!
Akhilesh: "Long Long ago.. Agarkar used to be an Allrounder"
Jigar: "A message to IPL teams from Lee: You run me out, I run two of yours out!"
Brett Lee describes Iqbal Abdulla's first ball thus: "It was like Warne to Gatting, wasn't it?" Haha!
Gambhir is jumping around, exhorting his troops and looking very pensive. He can relax now, this game is in the bag.
Bala for the last over.
