Suzanne Sonye "Trusts the team" and enjoys victory at the Brentwood Grand Prix.
I've raced Brentwood Grand Prix since 2010, and the promoters have used the current course for the past 2 years. This is one of my favorite venues of the season. We raced Manhattan Beach Grand Prix last month; I am always so nervous weeks leading up to the race. I think it's mostly the nature of the course that frightens me, but that is not the case with Brentwood; I love the course! While nervous, I was equally excited to race.
There was a great turnout of local fast girls for this event, which was also the SCNCA Elite State Crit Championships. SCVelo/Empower Coaching, Revolution, Helens Cycles and LaGrange were all well represented. The line-up included Laura Van Gilder's strong lead out girl Kirsten LaSasso and Tibco's young and very talented Alexis Ryan, who is preparing to race the Junior World Championships in Austria. Alexis is both the road race and criterium 17-18 year old National Champion.
I was nervous on the start line, but as soon as the whistle blew I was confident in my teams' ability to win the race. We are always committed to riding for each other. The race started aggressively, with numerous riders attacking or going for the many primes offered by the announcer. We were not going to go for anything but the win, so we followed these moves waiting for the final lap. I tried to get in a couple of moves while teammate Joy McCulloch was attacking, making sure I wasn't spending too many matches. We knew it would come down to a field sprint; there were solo riders dragging the field up to every move that had any potential of sticking.
Kristin LaSasso (Wheel Builder) made the race fast, and the speed just kept cranking up until it was strung out with 3 laps to go. Bonnie Breese (SCVelo) , Kristen LaSasso (Wheel Builder) and Emily Georgeson (Helen's) were up the road in a move going into the last lap. The trio dangled for a bit, but the peloton wouldn't let them gain any traction. On the backside of the 6-turn lap our team went into "let's get it done" mode.
I was following Joy to the front, hoping that Shelby Reynolds was on my wheel or near me. Our plan was to have Michelle Ignash wind up the lead out, followed by NRC-alum Brenda Lyons. Joy would bring Shelby and me up the kicker-hill on the last turn, and onto the finishing straight away. Here, I would open up my sprint and bring Shelby with me so she could come around to go for it.
As we caught the last lap break, Joy rolled up to Emily, guiding her to a steady pace and slowly starting to ramp it up. Then BOOM, SCVelo came up on our left to over take us, 'stay Calm Suzanne', is what I was thinking, 'Trust the team!!!' Then came Brenda, dropping Shelby on my wheel and going straight in front of Joy. She started drilling it into the right hand turn on the backside; we all took the turn on the inside of SCVelo as they moved left and gave us a clean path. All four of us squeaked through, then Brenda took off and got Joy through the left hand turn; it was Joy's turn. I yelled at Joy to GO! Coming into the last turn I could see the finish line (barely), and decided I needed to bust a move NOW, hoping I could hold on. I felt the chasers closing in and just kept telling myself to go and not give up. I grabbed my last gear and kept going, throwing my bike at the line. When I looked to my right and saw Shelby I was so excited I could not believe we went 1-2! We talked about that before the race but it's not easy to do at a Championship race!
To say the least, I was overjoyed with how our team performed. Being able to pull it off after an awesome display of teamwork, I was relieved to hold on for the win!!!
Winning any championship event is really special because there are many people who never win even one. I've been very fortunate to have won my fair share. I am extremely grateful for my teammates and sponsors who have made it possible for me to race my bike all these years, and for all of the awesome past and present teammates from whom I've learned so much.
I would like to dedicate this win to my former teammate Nicole Reinhart who died in a bicycle race September 17th 2000 in Boston. She was only 24 years old and an amazing person.
Jenna "Jammer" Kowalski had a solid 4th place finish at Brentwood and talks about how it all went down.
Backyard Jam-Sesh: Brentwood Grand Prix
By Jenna 'Jammer' Kowalski
Sunday, August 7th, 2011, watching my teammates from the sidelines of a race called the Brentwood Grand Prix also known as the California State Criterium Championships. In my own backyard, but, here I am on the wrong side of the barriers, with a soon to be diagnosed case of strep throat. Always a frustrating feeling, when so badly you want to be out there pedaling in circles with everybody else. A fun race to watch, but always a better race to race.
Fast forward to this year: Sunday, August 5th 2012. Finally, I would have my first chance to contest Brentwood GP, a course favored by many locals for its technicality. However, after a long month of training for climbing hills in the altitude, I realized that I had not done one single sprint since the Manhattan Beach Grand Prix. Thus, I was a little nervous that my legs would be lacking the spunk needed for 55 minutes of sprinting out of corners.
With the course conveniently located in my backyard, my teammate Lauren and I decided to have our daily espresso at the Coral Tree Cafe and watch the mid-morning men's races to get in the proper spirit. The double Americano certainly did the trick and kept me buzzing for the next four hours. We then opted to ditch our trainers for a warm-up spin down the coast to Venice, to take in the madness of a Sunday at the beach. After a pit stop at home to change jerseys and swap on race wheels, we jammed over to the course just in the nick of time.
As we rolled up to the start line, I was flattered to receive a call-up to join some of the established local racers. After a couple high-fives and fist pounds, we got the countdown to go. The race was animated from the beginning, and a few moves lighted up the first couple laps of the race. The goals for the day were to either get Lauren in a break, or set me up for the field sprint. So, while it was important for me to remain attentive as a teammate to a team of two in a field dominated by team Helens and InCycle, I sat comfortably in the front, following wheels and making sure to cover anything that Lauren could not.
Between Helens, InCycle, LaGrange, Revolution and solo strong woman Kristin LaSasso, there were a number of fliers that had some serious potential, but the combination of riders in each move was not enough to keep the field from letting anything go. I was pretty certain the race was going to come down to a field sprint, so I just sat tight, at one point finding myself well placed for a prime, thus taking the opportunity to jump around the two riders who set me up perfectly.
After a few last ditch efforts from riders to get off the front, the peloton seemed content for a field sprint with two laps to go. I must admit I was a little lax in setting myself up for the finish; a solid 10 wheels back, I kept thinking 'it's a long finish, it's a long finish.' Well, l find myself still wishing it was a little bit longer. The last half lap of crits are always a bit foggy in my memory. From what I do remember, riders were single-file going up the backside chicane. I wanted to move up but was hesitant to jump around everyone so early. I hesitate. I see a flag. And I know I have to go, now. I jump around a few riders and the InCycle lead-out train, my head screaming 'YOU CAN WIN THIS! YOU CAN WIN THIS!' I see riders in black, I see the finish line, weirdly wishing it was just a few feet further.' I'm not going to make it in time and I know it. It feels close, and I throw myself through the line, but it's not quite enough to edge into the top three, as I hear the excited hollers of well deserved winner Suze Sonye, followed by teammate Shelby Reynolds and Tibco's Junior National Champion, Alexis Ryan.
I did make it onto the podium for the California State Championship, as Team Helen's Shelby Reynolds is registered in Texas, however, it wasn't for the coveted Bear jersey I had hoped for. But, there is always next year (third time's a charm!?), and as my first California State Criterium Championship race, I am pleased with a top five. Just as well, I am thrilled for the podium finishers – and the entire peloton for that matter, for making for a fun and safe race to cap off the end of my 2012 SoCal road racing season. Many thanks to all of the supporters, sponsors, media and everyone else that makes these events possible! Until next year!

Cody O'Reilly is a tactician and wins the Brentwood Grand Prix
I got to the race super late; I had to rush because I had 30 minutes to kit up and register Brentwood Grand Prix. It was great having my Dad and girlfriend there to pin numbers, pump tires, fill bottles, etc.
Rolling up to the start I knew I was going to have a hard first 5 to 10 laps as my legs needed to warm up, so I was stoked to get called to the front line and avoid the scramble to move up with the hard corners on course. Through the first 15-20 minutes I was just trying to get on even terms with the other riders as I got moving.
Then the break went. I saw Eric Marcotte and Alex Darville moving around the outside through the start finish stretch, and tagged onto that train of riders as it went full gas through turn one. There was a small gap, and I decided it was worth it to do a little work since I wasn't fully opened up yet. Over the next 5 laps or so most of the break worked hard, and the gap seemed to solidify. The only thing missing was that there were no Monster Media riders so it worried me to the point that I didn't want to be putting everything into my pulls.
Mid-race I knew that the break would stay and started thinking of who was pulling the hardest (Marcotte & Darville) and who was sitting on conserving, which was only 1 guy every now and then, but a couple of guys sitting-on were just about to get popped.
A bit later, Marcotte grabbed a prime and caused a separation that I knew I needed to jump across or else he could roll away on his own. Then there was the $800 prime that Sandoval went for and gave Sandoval, Marcotte, and me the final selection. At first Sandoval had some skipped pulls in the last laps but then contributed.
I was pretty happy being up against those 2 guys in a sprint. I didn't think I would need to worry about Sandoval with how he sprinted for the previous prime, but I knew I would have some trouble with Marcotte, especially if he went on the attack in the last 1.5 to 2 laps.
It turned out that he didn't attack, and I found myself in the 3rd position for the last lap as we caught feild. It worried me that I might lose the other guys through traffic, but it was pretty clean through the bottom corners.
In the finish, Sandoval went long, trying to lose Marcotte and me in the field. Then Marcotte went with at least 300m or more into the head wind and I was able to wait and sprint as we got into the last 150m or so. Marcotte had a second kick as I went, and it made me really dig to stay at full gas all the way to the line.
BWGP race report by Alan Flores (Spy Blue) 45+
The 45+ race had a solid field with three teams that had numbers: Spy Blue, Breakaway For Cancer and BBI. A notable rider, Mark Noble, was flying solo. I stayed at the front with the help of my teammates, John Hatchitt and Seth Davison. I followed moves and mainly watched Rich Meeker suck up nearly every preem this side of the Pacos. There was a promising move with Big Orange's Steve Klasna, BFC's Rich Meeker and Spy's Alan Flores when the three of us rolled off the front for a few laps. This mainly served as a body blow to the field. Later on, one of the preems was decidedly won by Mark Noble causing the field to chase for half of a lap until we caught him. That's when Mr. Vee Rich Meeker decided to fly the coop. Rich got a solid gap on the field, then the BBI boys tried to close it down. I was monitoring their progress and I decided it was do or die, so I launched out of the field alone up to Rich. From there we were all in; two men committed to the winning move. It was a close call for the first few laps, but with the BFC and Spy Boy's dashing the hopes of the chasers, we were able to build on our gap. With three laps to go, I was getting tired, and Rich was doing what a multi-national champion can do; ride! Props to Rich, as he was the strong man in our tandem effort. With half of a lap to go, I was in the front going through the last technical dog leg turn, a rounding right, then a tight right, and the final left-hand turn on to the start finish straight. As we were going through this critical section, I heard the horrible noise of bike parts grinding on the pavement. I knew Rich had crashed and in the nasty business of bike racing, I was now the default winner. So I put my head down and flew to the finish solo. Every dog has their day, and today was mine. Some twenty seconds later, Craig Miller from BBI and Mark Noble finished up 2nd and 3rd respectively. Thx…Alan Flores

I'm a freak, I run GI mags more than anything else. PMAGs are good. Magpul are good. But I've only had one GI mag give me trouble and they're much cheaper when you want a bunch of them.
First things first- get a sling. You can get a high speed 1 point or 3 point sling if you choose. I have a simple 2 point nylon sling and it works for me.
I differ from many here, I say go ahead and get your optics as soon as you can. This being the 21st century and all I don't see much need in a fighting rifle having only iron sights. You can grab an Aimpoint, EOTech, or even a Burris if you want to save a little money. My optic is worth more than the rifle it is sitting on I suppose, but I love it.
After than I agree with everyone else. Run the rifle and see what you think you'd like/need/want. I personally hate forward grips so my rifle doesn't have one. I do like having a light and laser, so I have those. As you run the gun you'll learn what you do and don't like.

ARs are a blast to shoot. Put some lead down it. I know where you can get pmags w/o windows for $10 each. I'm gonna buy several more at that price.
Enjoy your new weapon!

I don't know what your skill or knowledge level is, but working as a RSO a the local gun club, I see all sorts of people every week. A lot of people have AR15s, but do not even (surprisingly) know how the weapon functions, even in the most basic ways. If you have little to no experience with assault type rifles, get some basic training on the weapon (not just how to shoot, but how it works). Heck, find some good videos on youtube even (choose wisely, though!).
If you do have experience and know what you're doing, disregard.
As far as your other questions, don't get too excited about "tricking" it out. A lot of people go a bit overboard with some of the things they put on their rifles. Definitely get some railed hand guards, and put a good flash light on it. I've never used a foregrip before, but I know a lot of people like them. I don't see it as a very necessary item.
As far as sights/optics, don't skimp on a good optic. It's better to save up and purchase a good quality optic than to buy now and spend $100 on a low quality one. You don't want to run into problems like batteries dying quickly, being unable to zero because of bad mounts, etc. As far as iron sights go, if your iron sights are purely meant as backup sights, what you have is great. I'm assuming since your rear sight is a flip up that you can't adjust for elevation with it. If that's the case, then I would personally get a rear sight that you can make those elevation adjustments with.
I'm not sure what the best magazines out there are, but my wife and I use P-Mags and we love them.
Lastly, I'd find someone somewhere near you that teaches combat/tactical style courses so you and your AR can bond and become best of friends. It may save your life one day, and the least you can do for it is learn how to use it properly!

That's a great point and definite 'must have'. I got mine (padded, QD sockets looped in) used off eBay for around $50. You can get em new I suppose, although I see no benefit.
Here's some others:

You can of course buy them new from retailers as well!

I have a LE6920 and right now I have it mostly bone stock. I bought it in one of the Magpul packages that Colt is putting out. I like the Magpul grip and stock a lot more than a standard grip and stock. As for a rail I don't want or need one. The Magpul handguard has slots in it that allow you to attach a small section of rails so you can add a flashlight. Personally I have no use for quad rails. I'm not going to hand a bunch of stuff on it. The whole purpose of a carbine is to be light and nimble. The only mods I plan on doing is I changed the nylon sling to a Blue Force Gear VCAS sling. I like how its easy to adjust length. The other thing I'm going to do is add a Bravo Company Mod 4 charging handle. I'm eventually going to get an Aimpoint or an ACOG for it.
As for mags I only run PMags so far. I have some old USGI 20 and 30 rounders I haven't used yet. I need to rebuild the 30's with new springs and Magpul followers. I have also heard good things about Lancer L5AWR mags. They are also polymer and have steel covering the feedlips. I have heard good things about these mags to. A couple of good companies for mags is D&H, NHMTG, and of course PMags. From what I have heard I would stay away from the new issue mags with the tan follower. I had a friend who was training to go to AFG earlier this year. He said it didn't matter what type of ammo or how clean the rifle was it would keep malfunctioning. Cases would get lodged in the receiver and he said other weird malfunctions that normally don't happen. He said everyone was having this happen. He said he got rid of those and got mags with the green follower. He also bought 10-12 PMags before he deployed and its all he uses. He only brought the GI mags in case someone threw a fit about them. He said since he's been there the metal mags are almost nonexistent. Everyone is using PMags.
As for the other debate give me a carbine with a light on it. I can shoot it with the stock short and get around better than I can with my shotgun. Recoil is easily controlled and follow up shots are quicker. If you look around there are many good self defense rounds.
So I just got back from firing the AR15 with a friend of mine. Didn't shoot it a ton, just 100 rounds. So far so good, no malfunctions and seemed to shoot straight enough.
This is my first time shooting an AR, so I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but I felt what seemed to be the bolt slamming as I shot inside the gun. It feels very similar to the sensation you get when you drop the bolt using the bolt catch lever. I knew it was the bolt because I felt the motion cease half way on the last round due to the bolt locking back on the magazine. I guess the way to describe the whole experience is you first feel the recoil, and like a fraction of a millisecond later you feel the bolt drop. Doesn't seem to affect how the gun feeds and ejects (no malfunctions), just an interesting feeling. Watching a video my friend took of my shooting the rifle, nothing unusual appears to be happening to the bolt from the outside.
I assumed it was normal because the gun functions just fine, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
New toy (tongue in cheek), your are just hyper aware.
When I am uber focused on marksmanship shooting, I don't even notice the report, but I do hear and feel the action cycling, and trigger reset.
ETA - When you can tell the difference between another round cambering, and a locked bolt, that is a good thing. Then you will know without looking when there is a malfunction, what the malfunction likely is, and now you must learn what to do about it.

I just got mine last week. Ordered a .22 conversion kit for it yesterday so I can shoot it all I want. Only takes about 30 seconds to go from .223 to .22 or vice versa. Borrowed my buddies kit and used it in my AR yesterday and had a blast. Very accurate as well. I highly recommend that as your first add on.

I wouldn't spend too much time on those GI mags. Even with the better springs and green followers, they're still a PITA to seat on a closed bolt and I've cut myself more than once on those damn feed lips. Save yourself the time, money, and hassle. Voice of experience
Definitely normal and that 'feeling' will vary based on the ammunition you're shooting, your gas port, buffer weight, and action spring age. For example, if I shoot an underpowered round like PMC 55gr for a while, and then switch to XM193 I definitely notice the cycle stages. With something like PMC, the firing sequence is pretty smooth, with 193 I can almost feel the buffer ('driven' by the BCG) hit the back of the RE, and can also feel the bolt slam back into battery.
There's a few steps to the process, as you've noted already, and this guy does a great job of outlining them. His other videos and tests are also pretty interesting.

UPDATE: RCMP seeking four First Nations men in silver pick-up in relation to weekend sexual assault
Prince Rupert RCMP are seeking assistance in identifying four First Nations men in a silver, newer-model pick-up truck in relation to last weekend's sexual assault.
According to RCMP, the four men picked up the complainant in the downtown core near 6th Street and 2nd Ave. West on Nov. 23 and drove him to the Prince Rupert cemetery where he was sexually assaulted. He was later picked up by a taxi at the gaming centre and immediately taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

When it comes to finishing and handwork, it is always available, but you are not going to pay $2,000 for it. Many of my suits have lapped everything and bar tacking all over like the Italian tailors do without request, but it is more money for this. So to say "styling" is bland I don't really agree fully with the statement. I think a lot of people that go to him don't know the difference and don't request it, but are rather requesting a "price point" where bland finishing fits in easier.
Another thing, which makes it hard to judge Frank's work fairly is the fact that he doesn't really have a house silhouette and the variations that you see here and there are more based on the clients specifications than Frank's firm hand. I think people are used to seeing his work on NYR because he has photographed so much of it. In actuality what I see on NYR is very different than most of the folks I meet going to see Frank.
I also don't think it is a coincidence how many other tailor's work Frank is constantly adjusting and fixing for a lot of people. That's a lot of trust people have in his work whether he is making them things from scratch or not.
I personally really dig what he does for you.
Any chance you could take some photographs of the handwork in your coats?
The fineness of the stitching I've seen in other photographs has been slightly underwhelming.

But can we all agree that it sucks when standards of beauty are completely unattainable without a scalpel? Whether it's in this country or another, whether it's a thinner nose or lighter skin or a size-zero body, we've got to kill the narrow definition of what's beautiful. The more we accept diversity instead of uniformity, the better. Anyway! CityRag has a timeline of sorts, so that we mere mortals may gauge the slenderization of the Immortal Queen Bey's nose.

Nathan Horton leaves game vs. Coyotes with injury, history-making to follow?
By Amy Lilek
Nathan Horton has had a rough season battling injuries in his first season with the Columbus Blue Jackets. He made his return to their lineup on Tuesday against the Phoenix Coyotes, but it may have come a bit too soon.
It was announced during the second intermission that Horton would not return to the game after he re-aggravated the lower-body injury that has kept him out of action since March 29.
While there was no obvious incident that occurred, Horton cut his first shift of the second period short. He briefly stayed on the Columbus bench before making his way to the locker room just a couple of minutes into the second period.
#CBJ say Nathan Horton will not return tonight. Re-aggravated his lower body injury.
— Rob Mixer (@RobMixer) April 9, 2014
The loss of the big forward is a blow to the Blue Jackets as they fight to hang on to a spot in the playoffs. It also all but ensures Horton making NHL history on Wednesday night.

South Africa has replaced Spain as the jewel in the European Tour crown after being given six tournaments on the 2012-13 schedule released by officials on Sunday.
The new campaign kicks off with the inaugural Nelson Mandela Championship in Durban from December 6-9 before moving on to the Alfred Dunhill Championship at the Leopard Creek Country Club in Malelane a week later.
South Africa also stages the Volvo Golf Champions event in January plus three tournaments in February and March - the Joburg Open, Africa Open and the new Tshwane Open in Centurion.
Spain, which hosted seven tour events in 2011 and three this year, is down to one on the new schedule - the Spanish Open at a venue to be arranged in April.
The country's economic crisis has had a profound effect on top-level golf with sponsors disappearing and prize funds being withdrawn.
The Sicilian Open and Madeira Islands Open do not appear on the new schedule but there are three blank weeks and the tour are still hoping those two tournaments can continue.
The Hong Kong Open, which has been staged every year since 2002, is also missing from the calendar but will return for the 2013-14 season.
The schedule features a minimum of 45 tournaments and will end with a new four-event 'Final Series' involving the BMW Masters in Shanghai, the WGC-HSBC Champions in the same city, the inaugural Turkish Open and the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.
The total prize fund for the four tournaments is worth $30.5 million.
"The introduction of the series...is being made to bring even more drama and excitement to the conclusion of our season and to further enhance the Race to Dubai (money list)," tour chief executive George O'Grady told reporters.
"We felt there had to be an additional level of commitment from the membership to these important tournaments. The response from our leading players to this change has been extremely encouraging."
The Russian Masters will be another new event on the schedule in July.
European players will start the race for qualifying points for the 2014 Ryder Cup team at the Wales Open in August.

You may already know of Jonas Damon's lovely wooden iPhone alarm clock radios, made to look like 1970s wood veneer beauties.
I was nosing around the designer's blog yesterday, and found that he has been busy making more iLovelies of a similar ilk. And how fantastic are his new iPad and iPhone holders; one is designed to replicate an analogue radio, the other an old-school TV. They are prototypes at the moment, but watch out for them in production soon.
And there's more wood about in unlikely, but lovely places. Isn't this maple wireless keyboard, by Orée Design, gorgeous? It comes in walnut, too, and with Mac or Windows keyboard layouts and – rather beautifully – you can even choose from a range of different fonts for the keys (or personalise it with your own ideas). It costs £125 and was recommended to me yesterday by Tent London as one of their favourite tech-y designs of late.

Bert Bolinclimatologist Died: December 30, 2007
(Stockholm, Sweden)
Best Known as: leader of UN climate panel that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace
Prize Bert Bolin was a pioneering climatologist who led the United Nations Climate Panel, which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore for its warnings about global warming. Dr. Bolin traveled to Washington in 1959 and told the National Academy of Sciences that there would be a 25 percent increase in carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere by 2000. He stated that the carbon dioxide was the cause of the warming trend of two to three degrees in the early 20th century. The United Nations Environmental Program and the World Meteorological Organization created the climate panel. They brought 3,500 scientists together from around the world and divided them into three groups—the first to examine atmospheric chemistry and greenhouse gas emissions, the second to deal with the impacts of climate change, and the third to research the possibilities for mitigation. Bolin was chairman of the panel from 1988 to 1997 and led the first two influential climatological assessment reports with his scientific expertise and diplomatic skills. |


text: A Mysterious Borderlands 2 Side-Project, The Future of Contra and Other Gaming Secretsby Superannuation9/19/12 1:00pmFiled to: Superannuation's Assorted ScooperyKotakucoreBorderlands 2ContraLeague of legendsRiot GamestweetTop391EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Editor's Note: The mysterious person known as Superannuation has dug through the depths of the Internet and uncovered some interesting facts. Today's batch gives you some insight to the status of a Contra reboot, the future of Riot Games, and what could be future Borderlands 2 DLC. Advertisement A handful of CVs from current and former employees of The Workshop indicate that the Los Angeles-area studio behind the PlayStation Move fantasy action game Sorcery is currently well into development on an expansion to Gearbox's very recently released Borderlands 2.The resumes of a former senior level designer, current animator, and current level designer all mention work on Borderlands 2, and the latter two give the expansion the name "Torgue," a likely codename and a reference to of one of the weapons manufacturers in the Borderlands universe. In addition, the aforementioned animator also says that The Workshop has been pitching their very own multiplayer-oriented first-person shooter. Advertisement Another Workshop designer talks of a "Unannounced" "Expansion of a Highly Successful Triple-A FPS" — presumably the Borderlands 2 DLC — on their own personal site, stating that they are the "Sole Mission Designer and Scripter" for a pack with more than ten hours of gameplay. * * * According to the resume of a former designer at Yager Development, the Spec Ops: The Line developer was working on a now-cancelled Contra title between June and December 2011. Given the development timeline, it seems likely that this title was the mysterious Contra reboot Konami teased during their pre-E3 2011 press conference. Additionally, the cancellation does provide an explanation for why we haven't heard anything of the game since that teaser. Although there seems to be no Contra reboot in the works as of this time, Konami Europe development head Dave Cox recently suggested Castlevania: Lords of Shadow; studio Mercury Steam hopes to reinvent the run-and-gun franchise once they wrap their current duties on the Lords of Shadow 2. However, that will likely be far less lateral than whatever Yager would have had in store for the game. Advertisement Sponsored Details are scant about what the Berlin-based Yager is doing following the release of their controversial Conrad-inspired re-envisioning of the budget-priced military shooter franchise, but a senior game designer job opening on their site alludes to a AAA action title featuring multiplayer with microtransactions and such. * * * League of Legends creators Riot Games are hoping to expand beyond their wildly successful online game and tackle new projects, if a handful of job postings are to be believed. While a studio hiring for unannounced projects is typically among the most self-evident and obvious of non-stories, Riot Games may be among the handful of exceptions given how much the company's synonymity with LoL — and the possible risk of new projects alienating their existing fan base.Other than two positions pertaining to regional versions of LoL, all of the game design openings at Riot's Santa Monica headquarters allude to "unannounced projects." In the lead level designer posting, Riot curiously asks that applicants be well-versed in "good level design for multiple game types" including "shooters, RTS, MOBA, [and] open world." For the most part, those genres are fairly dissimilar from one another, and Riot Games, of course, only has a released product in one genre listed — multiplayer online battle arena. Not to mention that gaming industry job postings usually just ask for expertise pertinent to specific genre that a studio is exploring.Riot's aspirations beyond LoL are not anything new either. A lead game designer posting from mid-2010 lists helping the "Design Director on initial steps of new projects separate from League of Legends" among the job's responsibilities. Despite this, chances are probably not high we will see anything in the near future of a non-LoL Riot project with the highly monetizable precedent from their flagship title — something that could ostensibly take years to recreate. (And given parent company Tencent's deep pockets, they could probably afford Blizzard-esque development cycles.) Advertisement In the meantime, Riot is getting into mobile applications and prepping a new LoL game mode. * * * Advertisement Every few weeks or so, EA posts something on the San Francisco Craigslist board pertaining to its public playtesting initiative called the EA Game Lab, located at its Redwood Shores. These postings ask for a specific subset of gamers to fill out a survey to see if they are right for a specific playtest, and the postings and surveys mostly allude to still-unannounced games that are weeks or months away from being announced — franchises like Simcity and Dead Space showed up on surveys just a bit of time before they were revealed. But the latest playtest is a little different than usual.On Monday, EA posted to Craigslist hoping to ascertain people's "mobile usage and photography habits" to see if they are the right fit for a "Paid [mobile] photography study" vis-a-vis "an in-development mobile app." The actual survey features the EA emblem and quizzes about items like: what music apps they use, the frequency they take photos, what photo sharing sites they use, what kind of ways they modify photos (filters, effects, etc.), and what derivative products they make from their photos (collages, cards, etc.). Could EA be working on its own Instagram-esque social photography app? Advertisement superannuation is a self-described "internet extraordinaire" residing somewhere in the Pacific Time Zone.

Stainless steel is the default color choice for most kitchen trash cans, but what if you want to punch it up a little bit? Ever since I saw
yellow trash can (OXO, no longer available), I've loved the look of colorful cans. And Brabantia has a whole range of color options!It's surprisingly difficult to find large kitchen trash cans in any colors other than stainless steel, black, white, or red. Vipp has a fabulous limited edition green option right now, but it clocks in at almost $500 for an 8 gallon can.
These trash cans from Brabantia aren't exactly cheap ($250 for a 12 gallon can) but if you're looking for a large, high-quality canister in a hot color, this is a great option. Available in Apple Green, Violet Purple, Cobalt Blue, Lemon Yellow, Chrome Orange and Lipstick Red, there's certainly a color to suit your kitchen style!

The comeback chairman is at it. NR Narayana Murthy has embarked on an aggressive cost cutting drive at Infosys — while ensuring that employee morale stays high as the software giant eyes a rebound after turning industry laggard.
Though employees in leadership positions are jittery about this new initiative, employees below that level are very happy at this new opportunity to grow.
The company had seen a high 16.9% staff attrition in the first quarter, when more than 9,500 people quit.
Industry sources said Infosys has swapped six-month residential classroom training at its showpiece Mysore centre for cheaper online learning.
"We have a combination of online as well as classroom training for our foundation programme," an Infosys spokesperson said.
To fight attrition at lower levels, the company is taking feedback from employees through a survey named 'Litmus Test'. Murthy is visiting all Infosys campuses one by one. Besides Bangalore, the company has development centres in Mysore, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Mumbai, Pune, Thiruvananthapuram, Gurgaon and Mangalore.
Infosys relaxed its dress code a month ago. Wearing ties is compulsory only on Mondays now for its army of engineers. It used to be both Mondays and Tuesdays.
Barely a fortnight after his return in June, Murthy had hiked salaries by an average 8%.

Our fears about the Britney Spears "Glee" tribute episode were averted, thanks to some time focusing on storytelling to balance out the big numbers.
Most of the non-Britney plots were about love — unrequited on the parts of Will (Matthew Morrison) and Artie (Kevin McHale), but blossoming for Rachel (Lea Michele) and Finn (Cory Monteith).
Spoilers, y'all.
We've known from Day 1 that Rachel is controlling, and after a disastrous ultimatum, trying to get Finn to quit the football team when he's just rejoined, she tempts him with Quinn (Dianna Agron), whom he very firmly turns down. Rachel is a little insecure obviously when it comes to dating.
So it's just the perfect note to end a showy "Glee" episode with a really sweet and emotional moment, bringing home the heart of what the show is about with a non-Britney song (but hey, you can still vote for your favorite "Glee" cover of Britney in our poll).
Rachel apologizes to Finn with Paramore's "The Only Exception" and makes us feel all warm and sniffly (and not just because Michele is a champion singer-crier). Maybe we'll be hearing this at some weddings in the future?
"Glee," this is why we love you.
Here's the original version by Paramore:

Kitchen Toys.
17 comments:
That is definitely a good idea...but only if you have extra space in your kitchen! I, unfortunately, need at least 1 more drawer as it is for dish cloths & towels, bibs, and oven mitts. I did put the tupperware and lids in a bottom drawer and Madelyn LOVES getting into that.
Audrey looks so grown up and so stinkin cute! I love the little hair clip too!Such a cute girl!!! She's looking so much older. I always get a teeny bit sad when my babies lose their baby look, and start looking like big kids. Love her little hair clip!
This is a great idea. I used to have a drawer dedicated to tupperware and other plastic things that I didn't care if the kids got into. They loved it because they could play while I was cooking, and I loved it because they couldn't break anything.
LOVE your beautiful cabinetry!- AnonymousJanuary 10, 2011 at 8:46 AM
My Mom did that when she was raising me and my siblings. Above the toy drawer, was a lid drawer then the fun towel drawer. Simple things bring about great delight to young children.
I did the same for my children.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Christian Ponder threw for 243 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Willie Haulstead and Florida State's defense recorded its first shutout in more than two years as the Seminoles defeated Wake Forest 31-0 Saturday.
Florida State (3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) led 10-0 at halftime in a game delayed 42 minutes by lightning.
The Seminoles, who led the nation with 13 sacks entering the game, added six more while holding an opponent to fewer than 200 yards offense for a second straight week.
Ponder, who was off to a slow start this season, completed 24 of 37 passes, exceeding 200 yards for the first time this season. He also ran for a touchdown.
Wake Forest (2-2, 1-1) came into the game averaging 43.7 points, but giving up 43 points a game.
Haulstead scored his first two career touchdowns on plays covering 10 and 4 yards.

E Ink, Epson to build 'retina' display for e-book readers
300 pixels in every inch
Posted in Personal Tech, 18th May 2011 10:24 GMT
E Ink and Epson are to jointly develop a electronic paper panel with a "retina display" pixel density... almost.
Apple calls the iPhone 4 screen a "retina display" because its 326 pixels per inch (ppi) density is "so high that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels".
Actually, look hard enough and you can see them, but if you're not trying, you won't.
The E Ink / Epson screen will have a 300ppi, but even that will make the current Kindle's 167ppi look low res.
It'll be bigger, though: an iPad-like 9.7in to the Kindle's six. The new screen's resolution will be 2400 x 1650, and monochrome.
E Ink will develop the display itself, Epson the chip that controls the screen.
Neither firm said when the screen will appear in e-book readers you can buy. ®

This is the four-year anniversary of the worst fire in Los Angeles history. It destroyed 500 homes, including mine.
It was 2008 when the Sylmar fire jumped from the foothills into the city. I was a college student, and was still living in my parents' home. I was one of the worship leaders in the college ministry at my church (Grace Community Church), and I was completely comfortable in life.
I was out with friends, and received a phone call just before 11:00 PM from my sister. There was a fire approaching our home, and our family was evacuated. I raced the fire crews to my house, and had about 10 minutes to grab whatever I could. My family then stopped and prayed in our driveway. That would be the last time we would ever stand there—by morning everything we owned was burned to the ground. Firefighters said that the heat of the fire was so intense, our house had melted into its concrete foundation.
My family walked through this trial that many considered tragic. But as believers in Jesus Christ, we clearly see that He used this time to draw us closer to Him and to each other. It's crazy to think that this fire would be used by God to bring us joy, but that's exactly what happened. The God of this universe was watching over our tiny family!
First, we were amazed at how the body of Christ supported us. The love and generosity people of the church demonstrated to us was unbelievable. That very Sunday, our church took an offering to replace my guitars and music equipment so I could continue to lead worship. Our Bible study group collected money to buy us clothes. Others offered us a place to stay and meals to eat. Every need we ever had was met. I'll never forget the love and generosity of those people and know they will be rewarded in heaven.
We learned firsthand that riches are temporary. If you work for material possessions, they can all be taken away in an instant. This world will pass away, and we're not entitled to anything while it remains. What my parents had often taught me, that all that matters in this life is what you do with Jesus, became crystal clear. The gospel itself became our joy through our trial.
What do I mean by that? I know that I fall short of God's standard of perfection, and I know that ultimately I deserve to be punished for my sin in hell. But God is compassionate and full of mercy. He sent his Son to live that perfect life and to be our substitute on the cross. He conquered death when He rose from that grave and lives to be our King. He offers us life that will not end with Him in heaven. There's unexplainable peace in that forgiveness! That is why I can be joyful in trials. That is why I have hope of eternal life in heaven. I experience joy through that trail because it made me value heaven more, and that is where my treasure is.
Life has returned to "normal" since then. My parents were able to purchase a new home a year later. I was able to find a place to live after a few months. Some of the sweetest times reading my bible came during the weeks and months that followed the fire. The song "Blessed Be Your Name" took on a whole new meaning. What I'm most thankful for is that God removed every distraction from me and showed me His character in a very real way. That's where true joy is found. I know there are a lot of things that make people happy, and those aren't bad things because they're gifts from God to enjoy. But those things do not last, and they are often based on our circumstances. God's character is not. He is the same yesterday, and today, and forever. The anniversary of the fire is just a reminder to be thankful today and every day for what God has done for me!
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21

EA, sit down and shut up for a second. Don't release any more press releases or send your cronies to comment sections to defend the company. Just sit down...and shut up. You're about to get the smackdown laid down upon thee by none other than the gaming community itself, as a hacker has gone and electrified the gaming world by proving that EA lied about SimCity not being able to run in offline mode. Not only did the hacker achieve a great feat, he put it on YouTube for added proof.
I'd love to know what COO Peter Moore and CEO John Ricitiello have to say about being in the crosshairs of blatant misrepresentation of a product that was designed to be broken out of the box with always-on DRM, even though proof has surfaced indicating that it very well can be played alone, offline. Blues News picked up the story thanks to Videogamer, and in the post on YouTube, the modder/hacker notes that... So with a little bit of package editing within SimCity, and a little playing about in the code, it's possible to enable debug mode. So you're probably curious to see the debugged SimCity in action with this chap showing off something that we reported on earlier with EA saying that playing offline would not be possible. In fact, let me post up the exact quote so in case some shill spills some bile in our comment section... The game was designed for MP, we sim the entire region on the server so this is just not possible Hold on...let me repeat that so it burns in and your inner hatred for Electronic Arts can fester into a brimming storm of protest that sees you burning your money rather than spending it on another EA product... The game was designed for MP, we sim the entire region on the server so this is just not possible And lo and behold, the video below showcases some of the debugged content from the hacker playing outside the designated region. That's right, you don't have to build tiny little cities either. The biggest complaints about the game can actually be fixed if gamers spread the word enough that EA lied about SimCity. The hacker's info coincides nicely with the recent admission by a Maxis' engineer who said that what you're about to see in the video below was doable and possible with minimal effort. The only way EA can rectify this is if they can somehow prove that the video above is fake or sue the modder so that he doesn't make it viable for other people to replicate. Good luck trying to save your already six-feet under reputation EA...good luck.

Kick off the Premierships with Sherwood and Ferdinand
If anyone knows a thing or two about Premiership football it's Les Ferdinand and Tim Sherwood. Having exercised their collective playing prowess in the Premier League for well over a decade, the two soccer superstars may have hung up their boots, but they've got no hang-ups whatsoever about going online to dish the dirt about who'll be kicking it and who'll be falling flat in the new season.
The pair of pundits are taking part in an exclusive webchat to coincide with the start of the Premiership, and they'll be on hand to answer all of your questions about the tournament and more. Not only that, they're sharing news of new online football community arightresult.com that's inviting users to make like a pundit themselves. Log on to the chat for the full picture now, and expect an excellent result all round.
For more information visit www.arightresult.com
H: Hello and welcome to the Sport and Leisure Show brought to you by A Right Result.com, I'm Charlie Brew. Now then, with the football season about to kick off, what teams and indeed what players are going to be worth keeping an eye on – well if anyone knows a thing or two about Premiership football it's my two guests today, Les Ferdinand and Tim Sherwood. Between them they've played for 14 clubs including Spurs, Blackburn, Watford, Norwich, Newcastle and Portsmouth and don't forget of course, England. Now guys, welcome to the show
L: Thank you
H: Now guys it's been an interesting summer hasn't it, a lot of transfers been made. What do you think's the pick?
T: I think Chelsea. I think Chelsea have bought very well – Deco is a player whose got a lot of craft in the midfield, I think it's what Chelsea have missed over the last couple of seasons, I think he could be a little magician for them in the midfield area this season
H: Well we've got a question from Nick already, so thank you Nick – remember, get your questions in. "Now if you were both at the peak of your playing careers now, what do you think you would be worth today?"
L: It's always difficult to talk about yourselves –
H: What do you think Les would be worth?
T: I think Les, at his peak of his career, he's similar to Drogba, remarkable when he was at his best, and a young Les Ferdinand, say your 24, 25 year old Les Ferdinand would be worth – I mean it's hard to put a price, but I'll stick my neck out and say £50 million. Someone whose scoring goals, who can lead the line, you know we're talking maybe Berbatoff leaving Spurs and going to Man United, what are they going to have to put up for him? I know who I'd rather have in my ranks and it would be Les Ferdinand
H: So Les, £50 million from Tim. What would you – what price tag would you put on –
L: At his peak? At Timmy's peak, going to Blackburn and being a force in Midfield, I think you know you've got to look at you know, you're looking at Timmy who scored a few goals, never shy of a tackle or two, you're looking at anywhere between £35-£30 million for a decent midfielder nowadays.
H: £80 million worth of talent here in the studio I think.
H: Sarah knight from Newcastle says "What players from around the world would grace the Premiership that do not currently play there?"
T: Kaka for me.
L: Yeah I was going to say. Those that have been talked about coming to the Premier League, Robiniho being one, Ronaldiniho being another. Most people think he is past his best but I don't think so I think he needed a new challenge. As Timmy mentioned Kaka, I like the look of Huntelaar.
T: I'd like to see Henry back. If Man Utd were to sign Henry tomorrow everyone else could shut up and go home.
H: First one is from the website. The question I have here is "Both of you are ex-Spurs players, do you expect a completely different side this season after the disappointment of the last campaign, which was plagued with off-field troubles and Jaunde Ramos's early belief that many of the first team squad were not good enough"
L: Yeah I think so. What I like about Ramos is that he has shown that if a player has shown a desire that he doesn't want to be there any more. He wants players who want to play for him. OK there has been a lot go out and not as many come in but I think he is assembling a squad full of players that want to play for him and that is the most important thing. I was disappointed to see Keane go and it will be disappointing to see Berbatov go, but his hands have been forced with both of those players because they have said look…. Their heads have been turned by the clubs that have come in for them and they want to go. I do believe he is assembling a side that will produce better than last season.
T: I think they have to produce better than last season. I know they won a trophy the Carling Cup is probably the minor trophy you'd want to win but they actually won it. The Premier League was very very poor, their finishing place was not good enough for a squad what they have got and they will need to improve on that and I honestly believe they will even though it looks like they have obviously lost Robbie Keane and it looks like the imminent departure of Berbatov. It is going to weaken them for sure but they can't be as bad as they was last season in the League.
H: That question was from footballaudio.com and the next one is from Rufus "What will bring Man City more success this season Mark Hughes or its steady and healthy cash flow?
L: I think stability. Mark has already gone there and there is talk about him leaving because things are not going right. The one thing that any club needs is stability. The Chairman in the right place and the Manager in the right place then he brings the team along. I think there were high hopes once he left Blackburn, he done good things at Blackburn, and going to Manchester City people were expecting him to cement them and taking the place up into the top four and perhaps challenging them boys but there seems to be some underlying things going on there at the moment.
H: It is a bit of a poison chalice isn't it?
T: Things have happened in the last couple of weeks and I am sure that if that would have happened a few months ago Mark Hughes would not be a Man City manager. But he is there now and he has got to take it and all that comes with it and I am sure he will just get on with it and try and get the best out of the squad what he has got. I think he has got a tough job and if I had to have a bet on who would be the first manager to leave his post, perhaps not sacked but to leave, Mark Hughes would be top of my list.
H: We are getting loads and loads of questions from all fans of all Premiership and Championship clubs and the next one is from Ben who I guess is a Liverpool fan. "Do you think Liverpool have a realistic chance in the title race this season or are the fooling themselves as they once were a good team?"
T: It is up to the manager. They have got a squad of players assembled there who should be challenging for the Premier League. The fans want that, when we used to play there they were brought up on winning titles. You can't knock what Rafa Benitez has done. He took them to a European cup final. They have won it once as well. He shuffles the pack too many times. I have watched them in pre season. He has bought Robbie Keane and we automatically think Robbie Keane and Torres are going to be a formidable partnership up there, but he is playing him on the left, playing Kuyt on the right and vice a versa. I think he is doing it already. When you hear Rafa Benitez say Robbie Keane is a great acquisition, he can play in a lot of different positions. That is not good news for me, it worries me. Robbie Keane is a centre forward. Everyone who has tried to play him in different positions, yeah he'd give you the best he can do and he is a talented footballer, but he needs to be playing up front. Him and Torres would frighten any defence put in front of them. I give them a chance but only if he stops shuffling the pack.
H: The next one is from a Chelsea supporter its Blueboy and he says "Is it going to get cramped in the midfield at Chelsea this season with Deco effectively taking on the same role as Lampard? Also how many games will it take for Scolari to prove himself to Abramovich.
L: I think he has already proven himself, with the signing that he has made. By bringing Deco in. I think they are dissimilar in that Frank wants to get into penalty box. Frank wants to score goals. Deco is more of a creator of goals. So I think he will find his position and his niche in the side quite easily and he will allow Frank to bomb on. Hopefully he'll be the boy that supplies the ammunition for Frank and the other forwards they have got there.
H: Right well let's move on to the Championship we have got a Canary fan here…. Canary 99 "Tim as an ex canary can you see Premiership football back at Carrow road next season? It has not been a good start and the thought of another depressing season is too much to bear."
T: they have had some bad years haven't they. From the glory days of playing European football it seems a million miles away now. I hope they do it is a good football club. It is not a massive club, but it is a good one. Players like to go there. As the come to the end of their career it is a nice place to come. It is a nice part of the world. Can they get in the Premier League? It is wide open that Championship so I don't see any reason why they can't challenge. But you need some momentum. You need to get results on the board very early and I think Glenn Roeder has got his hand full there.
H: Lads Edgar asks "Who is going to score goals for Newcastle this season bearing in mind we have got no strikers who are fit?"
L: Yeah I mean it's disappointing. Hopefully once the Premier League starts, I know it starts tomorrow, but they will be hoping to get Viduka back Martins back and once they have got them all back then you have got the supply line there are goals there. They proved that last season. Michael Owen playing in a different role to how we are used to seeing him play or how we have been used to seeing him play in recent years. Just dropping of the main man up front, which was Viduka, and him and Martins were causing all sorts of problems scoring goals. They haven't bought anyone in so it is imperative that they get those players back as soon as possible.
H: I quite like the fantasy headlines that if Newcastle sign Roque Santa Cruz it will be "Santa Cruz is coming to Toon". Anyway we are halfway through the show so we are going to move on to predicting scores and Jamie says "I reckon I can predict who is going to do the business this season. I can certainly do better than Hansen and Lawrenson. Who do you think are the best pundits? Apart from yourselves obviously.
T: It just shows you he is a pundit himself. So he needs to go online to arightresult.com and put his powers to the test. If he goes on there pays a pound he might win a million pounds. He sounds like a good pundit to me.
H: How does Jamie go about that then?
T: He just goes on, logs on online at arightresult.com, me and Les are on there as pundits. We give our expert opinions, or so we think, we try and give the right results each week. You pay £1 and there is the chance of winning a million pounds. It is a good game and it is not a lot of money.
H: So if you fancy pitting yourself against these two that is where you need to go. Lisa says "Why do we never see women football pundits. I can predict scores better than my fella for a start".
T: There you go another one.
L: he has just given her all the details.
T: It is open to women.
L: She has got to play all year and then we'll have a look at her score come the end of the season and then we'll see whether she is good enough to get on the TV.
H: So you can get on there and apparently you can also play against your friends and family as well. So it is a good place to be. It is going to be an interesting season isn't it?
T: I honestly believe that Chelsea Man Utd I can't look no further than them. If anyone, like we said Liverpool might challenge. Arsenal I feel are weaker than last season. Hleb leaves a massive hole, Flamini even was a good player for Arsenal. Tottenham don't seem to have strengthened. Down the bottom pretty much the teams that have come up could be on their way back down. It is going to be wide open for the UEFA cup. That is where the chase is going to be.
H: So it's Chelsea and United for the title for you?
L: I am going to stick my neck out and go for Chelsea. I like the players that they have bought in and they have not had too many go out. They are pretty cemented in what they have got. They ran Manchester United very close last year with what they had and now they have got a manager who has stabilised the club and he has got a proven track record.
H: We just had a quick question from Sean from Wembley "What reception do you think Ronaldo will get from the United fans when he returns from injury?"
T: Well he obviously tried to engineer a move away from Manchester United that's for sure. It didn't materialise for whatever reason. We are pleased he is still in the Premier League because he is a fantastic footballer and everyone wants to see the best players in the Premier League. He is undoubtedly one of the best. Whether anybody can copy what he did last year remains to be seen.
L: I think it will be muted to start off with, but if carries on in the same vein of form he ended last season playing well and scoring goals, supporters forget very quickly.
T: Kiss his badge a few times and run over to the crowd. You know this season Adebayor obviously tried to get himself away, it didn't come and pore season he ran over to the crowd and kissed the badge. They soon forget it, the supporters.
H: From the players point of view what sort of pressure would the other members of the team put on Ronaldo to stay?
L: I think they all came out and said they had been texting him and phoning him saying look we don't want you to leave. Arguably the best player in the world. No-one would want him to leave their side so the boys would be putting pressure on saying look you can achieve everything you want to achieve here. Maybe that might be the problem maybe he feels like he has achieved all he can achieve at Manchester united and that is why he wants a new challenge for himself.
T: How can he top it? I mean how can he top that from last year I mean it would be very difficult so the pressure is on him. The eyes of the media are certainly on him. We are looking at him. If he don't score 40 goals next year I am going to say he is a failure.
L: If he only gets 39.
H: A question in from JJ "With Arsene Wenger's relative pre-season spending drought is it fair to say this is a make or break season for Theo Walcott?"
T: I think it is a big year for Theo. He introduced him in the latter part of last season and he done very well when he give him a run. Question mark for me is where does he play Theo? Does he stick him up front with Adebayor or does him put him on the left on the right hand side. That is the question for me but I feel if he gives him a run in the team he is a great prospect.
L: I think that is what he needs. I think most people will be looking at him saying they have not bought in another striker. You have got Adebayor and who else. He has now given Theo some responsibility. In the last year or so he has been able to introduce him gradually. I think now he will give him some responsibility and he may thrive off that.
H: There have been some great patches but nothing consistently.
L: this is where he might thrive now.
H: Tim "Are Blackburn good enough for Europe again, or are you going to struggle under the Guv'nor?"
T: The best chance they have got of Europe is Carling Cup. Qualify via that route. To finish in the top 6 for Blackburn Rovers with all the teams who have spent much more than them. It is going to be a tough job for Paul Ince up there, but a mid table finish for them would be a success I feel.
L: the only thing is that he has got a settled side. I think Mark Hughes has left him in good hands. They can push on from there. Yes they have lost Bentley but I am sure he is eyeing up one or two players and if they have a season like they had last season then they will be pushing for it.
H: A question from Sean earlier and now Sean's brother from North Wembley said "Arsenal will win, didn't that guy sitting there play for Tottenham who last won the Premiership when people wore caps in the terraces"
T: He is absolutely right but I am only saying what I feel I am an Arsenal fan as kid. At the end of the day my dad still goes to the Emirates every week I would love to see them do well. But I feel he wins a lot of admirers at Arsenal football club in recent years, play the best football that anyone plays. On their day they are better than anyone. I think we all agree that, but that doesn't win you trophies and they are lacking something at the moment. The most successful times Arsene Wenger had as a manager of Arsenal has been when he has had a core of English players. I think if Sean's brother from North Wembley was to have a little look back at the record books he will see that it has been 4 years. This rebuilding process, how long does it actually take. Arsene Wenger is fantastic he doesn't come out and say they haven't given him money. It is quite evident that they are not giving him any money to spend. And the likes of Hleb to let him go and Flamini and keep hold of Cesc Fabregas is a major plus for them. But can they challenge again this season? I doubt it.
H: We have only got 5 minutes left so keep your questions coming in for Les and Tim. Streetboy has sent one in saying "Lads me and my mates are running a sweep on which of the 3 Championship clubs are going to score the least points this year as they are going straight back down surely?"
T: Stoke will get less points.
H: Less than Derby?
T: No probably not. They have got to go some to do that.
L: That would be a disaster if they did that. Kitchener will score goals. Hull have just taken on Marlon King and a few others so I think there is a few goals in them. Not many results.
H: Are you giving them much of a chance?
L: You know there are one or two sides, the likes of Bolton and teams like that, that need to get off to a flier and if they don't they will find themselves down in that pack pretty early. The Hull's the Stoke's and the West Brom will be looking at those teams and thinking these will be big games when they play against them.
T: Go online and have a look at his predictions tomorrow. At arightresult.com and you will see.
H: Go online and you will see how Les thinks that the new boys are going to do. Tiger Tim "I can't tell you how excited everyone here in Hull is about the new season, but are we going to be as depressed as Derby come April?"
T: We just touched on it. Unfortunately it looks that way, but they are going to enjoy the ride. For Hull to even be in the Premier League is an amazing feat. They need to get off to a good start that is important. If they don't then they are dead and buried. When you get the likes of Man Utds the Chelseas the Liverpools going to play at Hull at the KC Stadium the fans are going to enjoy it, but enjoy it while you can because it is not going to last unfortunately.
H: Well Andy Harris from Manchester said "The situation at City is dire with the owner and now the UEFA cup debacle. Will Mark Hughes last and will we improve on last season. I am worried already?"
L: I am worried. I think Tim touched on it already. There are some underlying things going on there and it is a case of will Mark Hughes walk away from it if someone comes in and says "look Mark come here we will take you here" and it is a better proposition for him. It just seems like there is unrest at the club. All the situation with the chairman at the moment doesn't bode well and leave them in good stead for the start of the season.
T: And the finances. There are no finances there to improve his squad. I am sure when he took the job he was promised a few quid to go and spend on some players.
L: One thing he said after they lost yesterday was that hopefully he will be able to bring some players in because that is what they desperately need.
H: Right we are in to the last 2 minutes of the show Daz says "You guys talk a good game but are you going to put your money where your mouth is and go in to management?"
L: We used to play a good game as well. Every now and again.
H: £80 million worth.
L: I am doing my badges at the moment. At the moment I think we make things so hard for our players in this country to go and take their badges and go into management. You see a lot of the players are disillusioned about the regime that they have to go through just to pass their badges and that is what is making it difficult for boys to go in. I would love to go back as a manager at some stage.
T: At the moment I am not ready for that I would rather do what I do. Tell them where they are going wrong.
L: It is a lot easier.
T: It has not got the stress.
H: The safety of the studio. Last question we have had this in from a lot of people. "What do you think are going to be the surprise package this season?"
T: A team?
H: Or player?
L; I think Villa are going to be the surprise package this season. I think they are heading in the right direction. I like what Martin O'Neill is doing at Villa. I think that if there is a team that is going to push into that top 4 if there is a team that could do it I think it is Villa.
T: I would go with that. I would go for Villa. It is a good pick from Les. That is why he is a top pundit. The Villa have assembled good English boys there and Martin O'Neill gets the best out of what he has got. You don't hear him whining too much.
H: He is a quality Manager.
L: There seems to be stability at the top. A new chairman has come in and he is allowing him to do what he wants to do.
T: And Gareth Barry stays by the looks of it.
H: Alright thanks guys. Well listen that is all we have got time for, for now. My thanks to Les and Tim for their tips for the upcoming season. Also thank you to you all for your questions. I am sorry that we could not answer them all. If you want to know more then visit arightresult.com. Thanks for watching. Goodbye now.

RightNetwork, an independently owned, Tea Party affiliated new network gets a little help from actor Kelsey Grammer, who talks about things that aren't right in this promo for the network that launches this summer.
Things like big government, group hugs, running in place, cats on leashes, grown man tickle fights, bailouts for billionaires, partisan politics, debt, and Michael Moore in a speedo.
"RightNetwork, all that's right with the world," is the catchphrase. The network wants to "entertain, engage, and enlighten Americans who are looking for content that reflects and reinforces their perspective and worldview."
In other words, Fox News fans.
]]>The Dish Rag has to wonder if Grammer is the right choice for the Tea
Party network that is pro-military, pro-business and pro-America and
clearly meant to appeal to audiences in — how shall we put this —
middle America.
After all, he has homes in Malibu, Ca., Bridgehampton, Conn., and is looking for a Manhattan pad.
will be on the network? To start, a show called "Running" about
freshman politicians running for office. And another show called "Right
to Laugh" featuring high-larious partisan political humor.
Also one called "Politics and Poker" that features — among other people — LA-based conservative political pundit Andrew Brietbart sitting around playing poker and poking fun at all things liberal.
