The Camas football players snagged a small trophy from their first trip to the Tacoma Dome. Next time, they want to bring home the big one.
"What it all came down to was missed opportunities," said head coach Jon Eagle. "We had our chances to score, but you got to be able to come away with sevens and not threes.
"It's too bad it had to end so fast and so hard," he added. "Unless you win it all, it never ends pretty."
O'Dea of Seattle earned a 21-13 victory over the Papermakers Friday, in the 3A state semifinals. The Fighting Irish grabbed an 11-point advantage in the first half. Camas cut the lead down to one in the third quarter, but couldn't come up with any more points in the fourth. Despite their shortcomings in this game, the Papermakers made history this season by finishing third in state. They are the first Camas football team to play in the Tacoma Dome.
"Some day, we'll be back here and it's because of these seniors," Eagle said. "We had 47 freshmen come out for football four years ago, and 14 of these guys stayed. We rode the backs of those 14, and they took us further than any Camas team has before."
Not a bad legacy for these Papermakers. Seniors Scott Feather, Chris Galusha, Max Goss, John Payne and Jonathan Warner cemented it with one final embrace at the 50-yard line.
"We can look in the mirror tonight and know that we made history," Payne said. "We're all brothers and we love each other. That's never going to change."
Football is Payne's gain. He had the pleasure of playing it in the home of the Seattle Seahawks, at Doc Harris Stadium and now in the Tacoma Dome.
"I just love to play the game," Payne said. "It didn't matter where we were, I just wanted to play with my brothers."
With Camas driving for the lead in the third quarter, Payne tracked the ball over his shoulder, leaped out and made a spectacular diving catch. As his body skipped across the goalline like a rock, Payne lost possession of the ball when a defender stepped on his hand. The official had already ruled that Payne was down a few yards back, and so the Papermakers had a first-and-goal.
Camas lost several yards on the next three plays and settled for a field goal try. The 38-yard kick from Roldan Alcobendas hit the left goal post, but the ball fell through on the right side for three points.
"My heart stopped," Alcobendas said. "After the kick, I looked up and just prayed that ball would stay, stay and go through. I'm so glad that it did."
Alcobendas nailed a 21-yard field goal in the second quarter to score the first three points for Camas at the Tacoma Dome. He also pinned O'Dea deep in its own territory on kick offs and punts.
"I feel honored to score the first points for Camas. I've got a bunch of great guys blocking for me," Alcobendas said. "Field position is such a big part in football, and it's where we dominated a lot this year."
The most exciting play by the Papermakers came right out of the shoot in the third quarter. After a 14-yard kick return by Dalton DeBord, Warner caught a 55-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tony Gennaro.
"That was a great moment," Gennaro said. "It was the last touchdown pass I'm ever going to throw to him. I wish they were all that easy."
Warner had tunnel-vision.
"It was surreal. I just caught it and ran," he said. "I didn't even realize what happened until I got to the sideline, and then it hit me. 'Hey, I just scored a touchdown.'"
Warner finished with four catches for 76 yards and a touchdown. Zach Eagle added five catches for 76 yards. Zack Marshall took six carries for 51 yards in the first quarter, before he was forced out of the game by a dislocated thumb. Nate Beasley stepped up in Marshall's absence with nine carries for 76 yards rushing. He also had two big runs for 23 and 37 yards.
Camas covered all of its bases as a football community Friday. The band played non-stop, the cheerleaders rallied the troops, the players hit hard and the fans yelled loud. In the final seconds, chants of "we love Camas" echoed around the building.
"We're all about pride in Camas," Warner said. "We never give up."

New York Fashion Week is underway with the industry's top designers presenting their 2019 Fall collections on the runway today through February 13th. Find schedule details here.
I first heard of Fashion Week as a little girl, and ever since, I have wanted to attend. Last September I was scheduled to be New York and my trip randomly coincided with Fashion Week. Beyond excited and ready to capitalize on this coincidence, I had every outfit planned with tickets to attend Marc Jacobs, contacts for the Blonds show and more. But alas, I wasn't able to go. My then 4 year old caught pneumonia and I cancelled my trip. Although heartbroken, there is no way I could leave my baby even in the caring arms of his father, knowing he's sick. It's the only time in my life fashion isn't important; family always comes first.
Yet I question if over the years, NYFW has been blown up beyond expectation. Since it's inception as "Press Week" in 1943 when American designers were unable to travel to Paris due to the war, the event has long been a coveted invite only grand production. Fast forward to modern day, consumerist America where tickets can now be purchased (for a hefty price mind you), which makes the once highly coveted event more accessible (to those who can afford it) and those who dare try crashing the shows. Regardless, it is my goal to attend the upcoming September shows.
As exhilarating as I image watching the shows live must be; music filing every inch of available space, immaculate stages erected as a backdrop to top models doing their thing on the catwalk, I am always excited to see what it is those who are fortunate enough to attend, actually decide to wear. It is the street style fashions that have influenced designers with their no limits blending of colors and prints and their creativity to wear pieces beyond their intended use.
Check out some of the street style captured at the recent shows. Can you spot the trends?

At TPM, Josh Marshall asks an "obvious" 'framing' question about the ARRA:
Why was the Stimulus Bill called the 'stimulus bill' and not a 'jobs bill'?
To which Atrios responds with a "Pretty Obvious Answer":
Because for whatever reason, economist lingo is what people in the Obama administration are comfortable with.
I actually don't think that has much to do with it at all. I can't be certain, but someone in the Hopey Changey administration must have thought of calling the stimulus bill a "jobs bill" (if nobody did, then these guys are a lot dumber than most people think they are). They probably decided against calling the ARRA a jobs bill because they thought that would be worse than calling it a stimulus bill.
A jobs program polls at around seventy percent, but, then again, healthcare reform, depending on how the question is asked, typically polls at around that number too. Yet even tepid, incremental healthcare reform is uncertain.
Because a jobs program would be anathema to the one group (actually, two, but I'm getting ahead of myself) that matters: the conservative Blue Dog Democrats. After all, that's gummint intervention. Besides, War-Shing-Tun doesn't know how to run a business. Thanks to the Blue Dogs, a "jobs bill" would have been dead on arrival (and remember that employment was lower back then).
Even though the Blue Dogs are a minority of the caucus (and hail from small states to boot), the traditional media, especially the Mandarin Class, loves these guys.
And it's not because there are pictures of Ben Nelson in bicycle shorts. Whatever the Conservadems espouse is the 'center', never mind that this supposed center is actually a rabidly dogmatic economic ideology.
One should wonder why a small minority of the Democratic caucus–one that is out of step with the Democratic rank-and-file, as well as those independents who lean Democratic–is treated so seriously. The reason is simple: the traditional media, especially the Washington press corps(e), is sycophantic. If the reign of Little Lord Pontchartrain taught us nothing else, it is that the rampant stupidity of an idea is meaningless to the Potomac Mandarins: what matters is the power possessed by the person espousing that idea. Thanks to the filibuster, which has turned into a de facto supermajority requirement, senators from insignificant, shitty states (hey, you elected these dumbasses) wield significant and disproportionate power. If there were no filibuster, Senators Conrad and Nelson would be insignificant backbenchers, scraping and begging for agricultural subsidies.
Without the filibuster, a good healthcare proposal would be taken seriously. Jobs programs would be the new center and as 'serious.'
Malcolm Gladwell would write books about how jobs programs counterintuitively create jobs. But because they wield such power, their lunatic ideas, such as cutting benefits and spending during a recession with massive unemployment in order to solve a phantasmal problem in 2030, are deemed 'serious', even though the most accurate description would be 'crack-addled.'
Regardless of whether one is left, right, up, or down, most of the readers at ScienceBlogs like to evaluate ideas on their merits, and on their effects (even if we strongly disagree on those evaluations). For those involved in fields that revolve around analysis, including science, it is abhorrent to think that an idea is justified simply because there is power behind it. But it gets worse.
What really matters is the assessment, accurate or not, of the power possessed by those who espouse an idea: this is what determines if that idea is 'serious.'
The importance of misperception* is why theopolitical conservatives constantly pull of their con of pretending to be the cultural default setting–or 'moral majority' (to use a phrase). Of course, they are a small religious minority in the U.S.: even, if on an issue like abortion, if you add in conservative Catholics, they're still a religious minority. If they were correctly understood to be relatively small–and slowly, that notion is creeping into the halfwit brains of our Villager betters–then their ideas lose credence, even though they've been batshit lunatic all along and should have never been taken seriously.
*Perception used to connote clarity and accuracy. After decades of mass media culture, its meaning has been changed to perspective, even if that perspective is stupid and wrong. Language matters…

Coca-Cola has been intensifying its Brand Campaign since the time James Quincey took over as CEO in the month of May, selling itself completely as 'total beverage company'. The company, in its earnings calls and the investor presentations, has used the term to justify its moves beyond the Soda cult it has.
It definitely goes beyond its namesake Cola Brand. In its new Brand campaign, the company was seen shedding off its cult of being a soda and cola company brand which has been eager and competitive enough in the total Beverage functionality.
The Campaign which was aired during the NBC's 'Sunday Night Football' broadcast, seeks to introduce a new set of patterns enough to rejuvenate the fantasies of re-introducing the beverage giant to the Americans as the company has completed decade-long re-franchising initiatives that return ownership of local bottlers to independent companies. To do that, the company sold off its capital-intensive manufacturing and distribution operations as it evolves into a company with a central focus on marketing and innovations.
The new campaign highlights
The new campaign seeks to depict its 68 independent U.S. Coca-Cola bottles as an integral part of the broader family of the company in order to develop deeper connections with the local communities. Ads have become running locally earlier this month with an aim to reorganize its local connections. The Sunday's Night Football timing for the spot brings in more nationalized push into the urban population. The effort also included ads in the USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. The agencies who have been brought into the effort also include Partners & Spade for creativity, Perfect sense digital on digital and UM for media buying. The TV campaign has described the Coca-Cola company as making "more than the name suggests". It has also shown other brands such as Honest Tea, Odwalla Juice, and Smartwater.
The Advertisement shows a Coke delivery driver whose name is Willie Mua who works for a bottler in Alaska and Jon Radtke, the Coca-Cola North America's Hydrologist who has been made the in-charge of Company's Water Sustainability Program. As per Stuart Kronauge, senior VP of Marketing and President of USA Operations for Coca-Cola, North America in a blog post, "The Increasingly local nature of our bottling system positions is to make an even bigger impact on the communities where live, work and play."
He adds, "This is the perfect timing to reintroduce ourselves as a leading employer and supplier and communicate the breadth of who we are, what we stand for and what we make and sell."
The campaign has been launched by the beverage giant amidst a time when the brand has been marred by controversies regarding the Health concerns and efforts by local governments to tax sugar-sweetened drinks. The carbonated drinks sell of the Coca-Cola has fallen by more than 0.7% in the last four weeks ending August 12, while Pepsi's dropped by 7.2% according to Nielsen data cited by Wells Fargo.

Most Haunted: Winchester House
Do you ever lie awake in bed at night and hear strange noises? "It's just the wind or the house settling," you tell yourself. There's no way that what you're hearing is actually a ghost. That's just ridiculous. Right?
Well, what if the house you were living in was the Winchester Mystery House, a.k.a. "the house that fear built. "
On Friday, October 19, the Travel Channel will air live, for seven hours, an investigation of Winchester House (located in San Jose, California) by the Most Haunted Live paranormal investigation team.
The Winchester House, which was built during the Victorian era, was the home of Sarah Winchester. To say that the architecture of the mansion is strange, is putting it mildly. Very mildly. The house has, among other things, staircases that lead to nowhere, the number 13 appearing in various places throughout the house, and other oddities that are believed to be protections against evil spirits. The house boasts more than 160 rooms, 40 staircases (how many of them actually lead anywhere?), and corridors Sarah designed to confuse or appease the evil spirits she believed were haunting her. It sounds to me like Sarah Winchester was a wackadoo! But more importantly, who was hired to clean this gargantuan mansion??
In order to successfully determine whether or not the mansion is haunted, the investigation team will need the proper equipment. This includes night-vision cameras and thermal-imaging devices. Naturally. Whenever I'm laying in bed at 2 a.m. and I hear a strange noise out in the hall, I'm always cursing myself that I don't have my night-vision cameras and thermal-imagine device!
If sitting at home on a Friday night for seven hours watching a bunch of "mediums" run around a maze of a house, taking pictures with their super special night-vision cameras, doesn't sound like much fun (although it actually could be, with the proper provisions), then you can check out the Travel Channel's Web site to catch live feeds from the Winchester House. That way, you can get in on the action too by e-mailing the investigative team tips (like which rooms to focus on), making predictions, etc. You can also submit comments that will air live on the broadcast.
And if that isn't enough, you can even download the Ghost Detection application into your cell phone! Why would you do that? I don't know.
If you can't catch the broadcast the night it airs and don't feel like going online to check it out, don't worry! You can watch a 2-hour encore on Halloween! Woo hoo!

Yesterday, our friends at left-wing Colorado Pols took a rare shot at the Democrats' likely nominee for the 6th Congressional District, Andrew Romanoff.
Mocking an email that went out April 26 on his behalf from the campaign of Governor John Hickenlooper, Colorado Pols deemed it "perhaps the weirdest email of support for a candidate that we have ever seen."
From Pols:
There are only two links in the text, and both take you to a page where you can unsubscribe from Romanoff's email list. We've never seen an unsubscribe option so prominently placed in an email of support, particularly when that email comes from someone else. This point bears repeating: The email is from John Hickenlooper's campaign, but the only actionable links take you to Romanoff's website, where you can unsubscribe from his list. You can only unsubscribe from Hickenlooper's email list if you click on the link at the very bottom of the email.
There is a small contribution button at the end of the email, which is nice…except that it takes you to a contribution page for Hickenlooper for Colorado. The entire email is about Andrew Romanoff's campaign for congress, but there is NO included option to do anything positive to support him. WTF?
It appears Colorado Pols isn't on Democratic Congressman Ed Perlmutter's email list, because he sent the same email on Romanoff's behalf only a week earlier, on April 19.
Just as with Hickenlooper's email, the email from Perlmutter has only two prominent links in the body of the email and both go to pages that unsubscribe you from Romanoff's email list.
Oh, and the big "Contribute" button in red at the bottom? That cash ends up in Perlmutter's coffers, not Andy's.
At the end of their rebuke of a fellow Democrat, Pols insists a mistake must have been made — almost hinting it was Hick's fault. Yes, Pols, mistakes were made. And the common theme is Andy Romanoff's campaign.

Here are two distinctly different decorative shelving / bookcase units that can add some visual pizzazz to what is often a sterile and boring item. First the "Sir" from Emmemobili offers an original design by Ferruccio Laviani that uses orthogonal planes to create storage spaces with a most unusual shape.
The Sir can be paired if desired and used against a wall or free standing to act as a well decorated room divider. Available in various wood veneers or lacquer.
My second selection is Elle Decorations pick for "best new shelves" which combines "simply stunning shelves with functional sculpture". The design team of Ludovica & Roberto Palomba conspired on the Sveva from Italian based Sawaya & Moroni which can be used as a bookcase if you have a lack of decorative accessories.
As with the Sir, Sveva would be perfect to dress up a wall in need of help or free standing in a room to break up adjacent living areas.

The anger and frustration towards West Ham owners David Gold & Sullivan has been building up for a while and it all came to a head in this evening's 0-3 loss against Burnley. The London Stadium stewards lost control, infuriated West Ham fans stormed the pitch and West Ham's players got into it and served as stewards themselves.
The absolute state of West Ham right now ? pic.twitter.com/KyCrbAgCNY
— Dream Team (@dreamteamfc) March 10, 2018
It's only the latest of a handful of embarrassments that have happened to a once proud club and it remains to be seen what the repercussions will be. West Ham fans are hoping it will be Gold & Sullivan taking their hats and leave, just like they did at the end of today's game.
West Ham looked like a promising team just 2 years ago, fighting for Champions League spots and getting close to another FA Cup Final. Slaven Bilic' first year as a manager made the former player into a fan favorite once again, while his star signing Dimitri Payet broke out as one of the league's finest players. They ended up with 62 points, their most in PL ever and an iconic final match in a 3-2 win at home to Man Utd.
While the 2015/2016 season might be the most memorable season in recent memory for West Ham, a lot of the issues that have made the fans so angry right now, started back then. Let's go through all of them:
Changing The Badge
West Ham fans were already warned about moving away from Upton Park to London Stadium. It was after all one of the main points of emphasis owners Gold & Sullivan had when they took over in 2010. They had a 10 point pledge to supporters, most of which have failed by the way, but a change of the badge was not mentioned.
Not only would 112 years of stadium history be gone, but the badge design that had been there since the 1960's, around West Ham's golden age, would be lost as well. The Boleyn Castle in the badge was removed – they wouldn't want people to remember that stadium – and in it's place you'd find a stripped down badge with a WordArt font and "London" at the bottom to increase revenue from countries who were not aware what city West Ham are from. Personally I much prefer the old one, but I'll let you be the judge:
The club claimed they had 56% support of changing the badge and while that claim of a meager majority of fans being for a change of the badge, this was not the feeling you'd get talking to West Ham fans directly. The questionnaire you were made to fill out about the badge was heavily weighted in favor of the new one, and the actual results of the poll were hidden except for the 56% figure they arrived at.
It's almost like they didn't want people to know about the badge change and hide most of the information from people. As seen here with the "Crest reveal" video, which was unlisted, shown to a select few of fans with a disabled comments section and no Like/Dislike bar.
The Treatment of Club Legend Tony Carr
This is Tony Carr. You might not recognize his face, but you will instantly recognize the work he has done for West Ham and English football in general. Here are some of the players he has helped develop through the West Ham academy:
Rio Ferdinand
Joe Cole
Frank Lampard
John Terry
Michael Carrick
Glen Johnson
Jermaine Defoe
Mark Noble
Tony Cottee
Paul Ince
Junior Stanislas
Leon Britton
James Tomkins
Reece Oxford
Tony Carr has meant so much that he was deservedly recognized with the MBE in 2010. That same year, England's squad counted 7 of the players on the list above.
By West Ham, he was let go after 43 years of service, receiving a redundancy payment of £14,000. His exit was handled by the HR department rather than higher ups, which upset and disrespected Tony Carr personally and the great work he had done for the club.
He was replaced by Terry Westley in 2014, but was given an ambassadorial role for 2 years. With that role ending in 2016, it ended up being another blemish right as West Ham were about to move away from even more history.
Leaving Upton Park/Boleyn Ground
The 15/16 season would be West Ham's last in their stadium of 112 years. It ended as a fantastic last campaign at the Boleyn, with an unbeaten streak of 15 matches at home, from August to May.
Upton Park was a fantastic stadium. It was one of the good old-fashioned intimate grounds, with stands close to the pitch, enabling the fans to create an atmosphere you only get in the Premier League. Not only do you say goodbye to a one of a kind match-day atmosphere, but you also leave behind 112 years of history and memories.
All the small businesses, the Pie and Mash shops, Ken's Cafe, the "Chicken Run" terrace and everything that made Upton Park into an amalgamation of East London was lost. In it's place, the stadium would be demolished and is currently being turned into a housing project. It's modern football in a nutshell.
At least the move to London Stadium would help West Ham grow as a club… right? Right?
Awkward Integration Into London Stadium
The move to the brand new 52,000 seater stadium didn't go quite as smoothly as Gold & Sullivan would've hoped. Not only did they lose in awkward fashion and go out against Astra Giurgiu for the 2nd year in a row in the Europa League qualifiers, but a whole host of other issues made it difficult for West Ham fans to feel quite at home.
It starts the moment you get off the tube station. Instead of walking down Green Street, with local businesses, burger vans and pubs, you get a Westfield Shopping Centre and Domino's Pizza. It's a food market next to a shopping market. That's not quite the image you'd get when you think about a working class football club.
The fans have felt uneasy even inside the stadium as well. The length away from the pitch was obviously going to be an issue and with any new ground it will be hard to figure out where the hardcore fans will be situated. The problems already presented themselves in their 2nd match at the London Stadium in a game against Watford.
West Ham started out strong and went up 2-0, after a Michail Antonio header from a rabona cross by Dimitri Payet. It felt like the successful season prior and it actually created a good atmosphere, with fans all around singing, chanting and standing. The difference from the season prior was that West Ham didn't own the stadium they played on anymore and a 3rd party crew of stewards were in charge. They lacked experience from football events and didn't take any advice given to them by the stewards at Upton Park.
West Ham fans were made to sit, tensions arose and the good atmosphere quickly turned ugly. As did the game and West Ham ended up losing 4-2. The problems with the stewards have been ongoing as you saw today and the results still haven't improved, like many were lead to believe when the owners argued for the move in the first place.
Broken Spending Promises
A reason why results haven't improved since the move to the London Stadium is the failure to improve the team, transfer window after transfer window. It's not just bad signings like Håvard Nordtveit, Alvaro Arbeloa and Robert Snodgrass, but also the amount of money spent on transfers. Here are the numbers from the 2 years before moving to London Stadium, compared to what they have spent after moving.
Transfer Net Spend 2 Years before London Stadium:
£54.45 million
Transfer Net Spend 2 Years after London Stadium:
£9.13 million
The headline signings leading into the inaugural season at London Stadium were Andre Ayew for £20 million (fair enough), Sofiane Feghouli and Håvard Nordtveit on a free (ehm okay), the loan signing of Gökhan Töre (urgh) aaaaaand…
Star Striker Failure
We're still waiting for Simone Zaza to pan out for West Ham.
As good as the final season at Upton Park was, two major holes in the team were evident. They lacked a good right back after Carl Jenkinson proved to only be getting worse on loan from Arsenal and they needed a fit and good striker to lead the line after Payet ended up as the top scorer with his 9 goals.
Diafra Sakho could have been the one for West Ham, if only he could keep himself fit and motivated. Sadly, after several comments from owners Gold & Sullivan about wanting a new striker, Sakho felt disrespected (for a multitude of reasons, we'll get to that). He struggled to stay in shape leading up to the next season and a striker signing was more important than ever to get right.
It's not like the owners hadn't tried to get the right striker in their tenure. They have made 42(!) signings that have played striker in some capacity since they took over in 2010. Look at all these flops and no name players (Link).
The owners made several unsuccessful attempts at landing a big fish, with bids rejected for #1 target Alexandre Lacazette, who was Lyon's star man back then. These failed attempts at a huge name have been a staple for West Ham ever since Gold & Sullivan took over. Neymar, David Beckham, Adriano, Ronaldinho… the rumored marquee signings in the middle of season ticket renewal season never seemed to happen.
While West Ham were busy lollygagging around Lacazette, Chelsea swooped in to claim another known West Ham target, Michy Batshuayi. Lacazette didn't go anywhere that summer and instead, West Ham began to engage in a seemingly never-ending "will they, won't they" ordeal with Carlos Bacca. Which of course also ended up going nowhere.
The Bacca deal fell through and West Ham ended up getting the now infamous Simone Zaza a couple of days before the transfer window shut. In another "Sully Special" transfer deal by David Sullivan, Zaza was initially a loan on a "prove it" type of deal, with an obligation to buy him for close to £20 million total if he played 10 games. He ended up with 8, West Ham struggled on without a striker and the owners failed (and continued to fail) in the transfer market.
Constantly Undermining Slaven Bilic
Despite leaving Twitter to his two sons, David Sullivan has managed to shift the blame of West Ham transfer failings away from himself. Blaming the current manager isn't normal practice for owners, but not when you are the businessman and former pornographer who owns West Ham.
"My kids begged me not to sign Fonté and Snodgrass" Sullivan said while both players were still contracted to the club. After West Ham failed to sign Bilic' top target William Carvalho last summer, after a mix-up with Sporting which was another blemish for the club, Sullivan released a statement where he also confirmed that Bilic had a chance of signing Gregorz Krychowiak and Renato Sanches, but didn't take it. His son Jack let it be known how disappointed he was that West Ham moved away from wanting Kelechi Iheanacho after Bilic felt uneasy about his buy-back clause.
This isn't a new thing with Bilic either. The same thing happened in the very first year under the G&S regime. Gianfranco Zola was under scrutiny from day 1, and Sullivan never hid any of the qualms he had with the manager he inherited. Unfortunately, the managers he has hired haven't exactly been slam dunks either.
Hiring David Moyes
The fans clearly didn't want David Moyes. Want proof? This is a poll from prominent West Ham forum Knees Up Mother Brown. Who would you rather have: David Moyes or Alan Pardew (Link).
Pardew 93%
Moyes 6%
That says it all really. No one wanted Pardew either, but they especially didn't want David Moyes. The results are there for everyone to see right now. On the pitch and in the poll.
The Tony Henry Incident
As if things weren't bad enough, West Ham were hit with another scandal last month. The Gold & Sullivan hired Director of Player Recruitment, Tony Henry, was exposed by the Daily Mail in February. He had made comments to agents that West Ham didn't want any more African players because "they can cause mayhem".
When confronted with the comments, Henry suggested that management supported the "No African players" policy. He continued saying "It's nothing racist at all. It's just sometimes they can have a bad attitude." citing Diafra Sakho's recent turmoil with the club. You can only imagine why Sakho was upset.
West Ham dealt with it swiftly and fired Henry after an investigation was made. They also signed Patrice Evra a couple days after, but the damage had already been done.
Another Failed Transfer Window and Terrible Results
If all the extra hullabaloo around the club wasn't bad enough, West Ham have struggled on the pitch as well. The main reason to switch out the historic Upton Park for the big restructured athletics stadium in Stratford was so West Ham could fulfill their potential as a proper big club.
Gold and Sullivan did have a seven year plan of getting into the Champions League when they took over in 2010. To qualify for the Champions League, you need big time players and in January newly hired David Moyes had his first chance of bringing in a true Champions League caliber name.
Andy Carroll went down with yet another long-term injury and Chicharito hadn't quite managed to fit in yet, so with the sale of Diafra Sakho and Andre Ayew, West Ham were once again on a search for a main striker.
Like always, plenty of big names were mentioned. Would they go for the long-rumoured Olivier Giroud signing? Maybe Russian international Fyodor Smolov? Was this finally the time they would get Batshuayi who seeked a loan move away from Chelsea?
Nope, West Ham ended up with this guy:
Welcome to West Ham United @JordanHugill! https://t.co/ZDYQPE7a0x
— West Ham United (@WestHamUtd) January 31, 2018
The striker with 23 goals in 103 matches for Preston North End. No offence to Hugill – he seems like a great lad – but that wasn't the type of signing West Ham fans imagined when they were promised high quality players after a move to London Stadium.
West Ham have now lost 4 out of 5 matches since the January transfer window, conceding a staggering 14 goals. The team is 3 points away from relegation and the nightmare scenario of playing Championship football attempting to fill the 60,000 seats is now a very real possibility.
West Ham fans want a change and it didn't help when they changed managers. They want the board out of the club and they want them out now.

Starstreak High Velocity Missile
The Starstreak High Velocity Missile (HVM) system is a short range surface-to-air-missile (SAM) system that is designed to shoot down enemy aircraft.
The HVM is a laser-guided missile. The operator 'paints' the target whilst looking through an aiming unit. Once fired, an initial rocket ignition propels the missile a safe distance away from the launch unit. A secondary ignition accelerates the missile to a burn-out velocity of Mach 3.5 (3.5 times the speed of sound). Following burn-out, the missile releases 3 tungsten alloy darts filled with high explosives. These 3 darts fly in formation and strike the target, causing damage from their explosives and also from their kinetic energy. The explosives within each dart are impact delayed i.e. they wait until the darts are inside a target before detonating, thus causing more damage.
The Starstreak HVM system comes in several configurations:
- A self-propelled launcher, typically a tracked APC
- A three round light weight launcher
- A man portable launcher.
Used under Open Government Licence

The HVM has been shown to also have limited effect against lightly-armoured ground targets such as some APCs.
The Royal Marines Air Defence Troop use the HVM, fitted to a three round portable launch unit, to protect 3 Commando Brigade assets from air attack.

Light We Made, which was produced by Will Yip (Nothing, Pity Sex), marks a milestone for the band, as this time around they've toned down their hardcore and punk-rock roots, to present a body of work that is dominated by soothing, harmonic tracks. The LP's coherent mood of transcendent moments are driven by the band experimenting with new sonic elements - weaving in dreamy synth chords, melodic guitar riffs, and atmospheric bass grooves and drum beats to hit home the delivery of the songs' emotional lyrics.
"This album is the culmination of the last 3 years, and how musically the band wanted to be more creative than ever before. We took time off to experience life, pushing ourselves to try things that we previously hadn't, which in return inspired us to record something that would stand out. This LP is a sonic progression for us, and we're excited to share it with everyone."
In support of the new LP, Balance and Composure will bring their live set on the road this Fall for a North American headline tour, plus will make an appearance at this year's Riot Fest in Chicago, and will open for Hum on September 24th in Pomona, CA.

After the eviction of protesters from Zuccotti Park Tuesday morning, there were reports that 5,554 books from the Occupy Wall Street Library had been thrown away by Department of Sanitation officials. A public uproar ensued, prompting the Mayor's office to tweet this picture of the books, which they claimed were "safely stored @ 57th St Sanit Garage" and could be picked up Wednesday.
It remains unclear if the DSNY went dumpster-diving to recover the library after seemingly every online media outlet grabbed the story. Protesters said they saw DSNY officials throw books into a dumpster, whereas the Mayor's office told The Huffington Post Tuesday that the books were put into sanitation trucks (this is the problem when you don't let the press cover a major event).
Some of the library workers made the trek to midtown Wednesday to reclaim their collection and were disappointed with what they found. According to The Occupy Wall Street Library blog, "There are only about 25 boxes of books; many of the books are destroyed. Laptops here but destroyed. Can't find tent or shelves."
The livid librarians called out Mayor Bloomberg:
And they've compiled a list (see below) of all the items missing. We've reached out to the Department of Sanitation and the Mayor's office for comment and we'll update as soon as we hear back.
Between 2,000 and 4,000 books (we'll know if it looks right when we see it ), this includes five boxes of "Reference" materials many of which were autographed by the author

5 (4?) laptop computers;Our wifi deviceMiscellaneous paper supplies
A round portable table
A rectangular portable table
6 metal shelves (five of which had been set up in two pieces)

Hours before UNSC meeting, China hints it may block move to declare Masood Azhar global terrorist
The fate of the resolution to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist by the UNSC will become clear in less than 24 hours after the end of deadline to raise objections to the proposal.
Trending Photos
BEIJING: Hours before the UN Security Council is to take up a proposal to declare Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed chief Masood Azhar a global terrorist, China on Wednesday once again hinted that it is highly unlikely that Beijing would support the move, saying only "the solution that is acceptable to all sides" can help in resolving this matter.
The fate of the resolution to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist by the UNSC will become clear in less than 24 hours after the end of deadline to raise objections to the proposal.
France, the UK and the US had moved the proposal to designate Masood Azhar a global terrorist under the 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the UNSC on February 27.
"I could reiterate that China will continue to adopt a responsible attitude and participate in the deliberations in the UNSC 1267 Committee," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang was quoted as saying by PTI.
It is notable that China is a veto-wielding member of the UNSC and it has earlier used its veto power thrice to block the move by India and other UNSC member nations to designate Azhar. China has been repeatedly saying that the solution to this issue should be acceptable to all.
Asked to comment whether the proposal will be discussed on March 13 and Chinese government is in touch with other UNSC member nations on this issue, Lu said, "First I want to clarify that I don't recall saying anything about the deadline about the UNSC committee and other UN subsidiary bodies".
Commenting on the issue of listing the JeM chief, Lu said that Beijing always adopts a responsible attitude and take its decision after engaging in consultations with various parties.
"The discussions, I want to say must follow the rules and procedures of the relevant bodies and only the solution that is acceptable to all sides is conducive for resolving the issue," he said.
It may be recalled that China's Vice Foreign Minister Kong Xuanyou had visited Pakistan few days ago and met Prime Minister Imran Khan and Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and other senior officials of the Pakistan government.
Meanwhile, India reiterated on Saturday that all UNSC members know that Masood Azhar and the training camps of JeM are in Pakistan and it is the duty of UNSC to designate him as a global terrorist.
The JeM is responsible for carrying out many terror strikes in India and it had also claimed responsibility for the February 14 Pulwama attack, which resulted in the martyrdom of 40 CRPF personnel.

A little update
9 years ago
(Formerly Life with a Dairy-Free Toddler) A mother's focus on feeding a child with multiple food allergies -- currently peanut and tree nuts, and formerly dairy and egg.
That sounds really promising and i wish you luck. However, having just started the totally strict phase yet again with my 12yr old having his first major reaction in a few years it is good to not get too complacent. I am yet again scanning ingredients - and realised at the weekend how lovely it had been to dine out without meticulous planning and carrying food everywhere!ReplyDelete

A part-time barman was told that he was lucky to avoid a stiffer charge for headbutting a man on Christmas Day.
The message was given to Jordan Edwards who was ordered to pay £150 compensation to his victim and carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.
He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates' Court where he pleaded guilty to carrying out a common assault on December 25.
But District Judge Tim Devas questioned the choice of charge made by the Crown Prosecution Service.
Their lawyers opted for a common assault allegation rather than the more serious one of assault causing actual bodily harm.
The judge told 20-year-old Edwards: "You must count yourself extremely fortunate when the CPS decided to charge common assault rather than ABH, which it clearly is.
"However, I am sentencing you for common assault. But for your lack of previous convictions, your early guilty plea and your co-operation, you might be facing a prison sentence. That is how serious it is.
"I understand that emotions were running high, there was alcohol and it was December 25. There is still no excuse for the headbutt in particular."
Prosecution costs of £85 and another £85 government surcharge were ordered from Edwards of Leighton Road, Sheffield. He must clear the bill at a rate of £10 weekly.
Satinder Bath, mitigating, said Edwards is on a zero hours contract as an agency worker available to do bar jobs. Often he only earns £20 weekly, she said.
"He is in work, has stable accommodation and has no issues with alcohol, Miss Bath added.
At the afternoon hearing, no prosecution details were given about the incident which took place on Skipton Circus, Sneinton.

IT Executives Are Facing Unprecedented Times
IT Executives share a lot in common with the best athletes. They play on a team that is always working hard to gain success after success. They're motivated by the need to improve and broaden their skills and play more consistently. At the same time, they face pressure from all sides, even during regular times. The added weight of supporting remote working requirements caused by COVID-19 may feel overwhelming. Overnight their focus pivoted from strategic thinking as the CIO to tactical needs thinking as the CCO – Chief Connectivity Officer. The game changed under their feet.
How are effective IT Leaders performing during this time of unprecedented impact as more is expected of them and their teams than ever before?
Highly Competitive – The best IT executives are very competitive, especially with themselves! They take pride in having the best, most-efficiently operating IT department. They take pride in achieving faster development cycle times, in adopting the latest technologies and methodologies first, in enjoying the gratitude of the departments they serve.
Must know their stuff and be very well trained and conditioned – Beyond high proficiency with technologies that are core to their enterprise, IT executives must also be continually conditioning themselves to successfully manage the many diverse talents and personalities that form any IT organization. The tremendously intelligent people involved in most IT teams require a sophisticated leader who can bring out the best in them.
To lead the team, they must be part of the team – Legendary symphony conductor Leonard Bernstein observed that to be a great conductor, one must be able to play each instrument in the orchestra, mostly. Hence, that conductor would understand and appreciate what each musician was experiencing. Just like a sports team, IT teams respect and admire a leader who truly comprehends their expertise, and themselves.
The more coaching they get, the better they perform, and the better the results they produce! – Even the most proficient high performing athletes will readily share praise for what their coach does for them. Similarly, executive coaches are most often engaged to focus on those with high potential to improve from wherever they currently are.
While many CIOs are going it alone, others are finding great value in calling on trusted relationships with their Executive Coach.
What to Look for in Your IT Executive Coach
Credibility – The first thing most leaders seek an IT executive coach is credibility. It's one thing to have training and certification in professional coaching and advisory, that's certainly very valuable. But, IT executives also want and need someone who truly understands and appreciates their world and what they experience each day. Someone who has invested years working as an IT executive comes with a level of credibility that is priceless.
Objectivity – IT Executive coaching is not like consulting or therapy. Despite their practical executive experience, you don't go to them to share your feelings or ask them how to do anything or to validate how you do things. You look to them to be the objective outsider who looks at the challenges you present with no hidden agenda. You are looking for someone who can help you self-evaluate your performance, identify where you may have weaknesses that require correction, and establish areas where improvement will take you from merely good to truly great, best-in-class.
Clarity – Companies often invest in their most promising executives for coaching to accelerate their progress. Individuals also seek coaching when they want to accelerate the growth of their career, and when they have specific challenges, they're not sure how to address. Their Executive Coach provides clarity in the process of improvement, helping to overcome the obstructions we often put in our way to avoid confronting uncomfortable truths about our actions.
Mutual Respect – A healthy coaching relationship requires mutual respect and trust. If these two elements are not part of the relationship, nobody is going to benefit. An executive must be able to trust they can confide in their coach without fear of judgment.
Motivation – Great coaches take an honest interest in the businesses they help and the executives they coach. If you want to see me get excited, talk to me about past or current successes, and watch me light up with enthusiasm. A good coach is motivated to discover who you are beyond your role as a leader and executive. They take an interest in why your business exists, how the business is run, and what they do to serve their customers. Once your prospective coach gets to know you and your business, that's the kind of interest and motivation you should expect to see.
Vocation – For the genuinely excellent business or executive coach, coaching is never a job; it is a vocation. My journey into coaching provides me proof of this truth. Grant you, it took me over fifty years to discover my real purpose. And it took a coach to help me find it. When I did, my stars aligned. More importantly, I don't regret my years as an IT practitioner, leader, and executive. These experiences provided me with the foundation and context to understand the world my clients live in without a great explanation.
What to Expect from a Quality Executive Coaching Experience
Your Executive Coach will begin by developing a clear understanding of your individual "current state," focusing on where you see yourself positioned right now both from an organizational and personal performance perspective. Next, they'll work with you to establish a clear definition of your "desired future state" and then structure a series of interactions to help you achieve that improvement.
Certified Executive Coaches will also provide structured experience assessments such as the BATES EXPI Executive Presence Assessment to dive deeper into your self-perceptions and provide more insight. And don't worry about finding a qualified, certified executive coach near you…most are!!
Your engagement will continue beyond the scheduled interactions to include ad-hoc access to your Executive Advisor for answers to questions and clarifications on specific topics and points.
Anticipate Great Outcomes
Of those who've enjoyed Executive Coaching experiences, most appreciate the apparent improvements in communication and leadership skills they've achieved, saying it has improved their confidence and broadened their understanding of the executive experience. Ready to grow in their careers, they've taken the bold step of preparing a qualified successor and defined desirable growth paths for all their key team members. Most of all, they feel more a part of their company's leadership team.
In Closing
An athlete does not get off the bench without the core capabilities. The coach helps them to find the inner strength and skills to excel. The same applies to the IT Executive. The life of the IT executive is wrought with challenges and setbacks. I predict the fallout from COVID-19 will have a lasting impact on how IT looks and the impression they leave. You don't have to figure it out on your own. You may know where you want to go, and perhaps even have a good idea on how to get there, but a professional coach can offer the untarnished insight, feedback, and guidance you need to become a star player.
I am offering to help a limited number of CIO's on a complimentary basis if you find you need a trusted colleague to bounce ideas around with or if you want to share in order to help solve a problem.

· More about Sir Thomas Smith's books in the Old Library at Queens' College, Cambridge ·
In the previous post about my father's portrait, I wrote of my early education, the eight years I spent under the roof and tutelage of Sir Thomas Smith, before my father died and Queen Elizabeth gave me into the care of William Cecil. I noted that Sir Thomas bequeathed a portion of his library to his (and my) alma mater, Queens' College, Cambridge. I wanted to write in more detail about the books, but the last thing that post needed was a longer digression. I was also waiting for something relevant to be posted elsewhere. It went live a couple of days ago, so here's the rest of what I wanted to say.
Sir Thomas died of throat cancer in August 1577 at the age of sixty-three. (Two months later George Gascoigne died of an illness, only fortyish. That was a season of melancholy.) Sir Thomas's bequest to Queens' consisted of his books written in Greek and Latin. Eighty or so made it to Cambridge, from a total (including other languages) of more than four hundred volumes. In 16th-century England, only William Cecil owned more books than Thomas Smith.
I stress this point because of its importance to the non-hypothetical origins of Shake-Speare's (my) erudition and wide range of knowledge: from the time I was five years old through most of my adult life, I lived with or had unlimited access to the two largest, most encyclopaedic private libraries in the realm. Public libraries did not exist.
Four hundred forty years after the bequest, at the end of 2017, the Old Library put some of Sir Thomas's books on display. I wasn't able to write about the exhibit at the time, but I've kept an eye out for the online version. Fortunately, at my age two years isn't a long wait. It's now up.
Books and Power in Tudor England:
The Renaissance Library of Sir Thomas Smith (1513–77)
I encourage you to explore it. Read the captions and spend some time with the images, even if you have small Latin and less Greek. Most of the photos highlight Sir Thomas's marginalia rather than the words on the pages, so they shouldn't give you any trouble.
Here is the true location of Shake-Speare's grammar school: inside Sir Thomas's brain, and inside his books.
For more bibliographic detail, see Smith's library at politicworm, and this PDF by the blog's author Stephanie Hopkins Hughes. I don't know how good her poetry is, but she has me beat at research. The PDF lists the books alphabetically by author, with short descriptions of the author and subject where possible, and it includes many that aren't in the Queens' College collection. The list dates to 1566, so it's subsequent to my time at Hill Hall (I moved to Cecil's in 1562), and it precedes Sir Thomas's death by about a decade.
My digression in the portrait post mentioned Jacob Ziegler's Terræ Sanctæ, the geography book with maps like this in the back. Terræ Sanctæ went onto the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, Rome's list of forbidden books first published in 1559, even as I was a boy of nine poring over those maps. Ziegler was a convert to the reformed faith, and the Pope decreed that books by such contaminated authors, even those having nothing to do with religion, were also contaminated. This did not go down well with Catholic intellectuals, but Paul IV had the last word. You can imagine what Sir Thomas, definitely not a Catholic, had to say about the Index, when even his good humour was acerbic. He was not one to suffer fools, gladly or otherwise. Like my father, his friend and contemporary, Sir Thomas was not dogmatic. He was the epitome of a Renaissance humanist, a man for whom an understanding of reality in the present world meant as much as any promise of paradise in the next.
I had plenty of options for the post banner, but I chose the marginal doodle of Clement VII and Francis I found in De rebus gestis Francorum, History of the French Kings. Not so much for the pontiff and le roi as for the event which brought them together: the 1533 wedding of the pope's niece Catherine de' Medici to Francis's son Henri, Duke of Orléans, the future Henri II. If you're a regular reader of this blog you might recall my post from early 2017, Smell the Gloves, Part 1. In February 1575 I attended the coronation and wedding of Henri III, son of Catherine and Henri II. The widowed Queen Mother wore a sublime perfume that she first brought with her from Florence at her own marriage, the wedding that Sir Thomas doodled in the margin of his book. Read the post for more about Catherine's perfume, which is still sublime. It's amusing to think that I may have seen the wedding doodle during my boyhood, then met the bride a generation later at the wedding of her son.
Here's a post on the Queens' Old Library blog, where they explain how they created the exhibit.
Behind the scenes of our latest exhibition, Books and Power in Tudor England: The Renaissance Library of Sir Thomas Smith [queenslib.wordpress.com]
This brochure omits most of the photos and all the captions, but it includes a précis of Sir Thomas's life that isn't posted online.
Exhibit brochure [PDF at Queens' GDrive]
I can think of just one thing missing from this exhibit, which seems to have been overlooked. This caption is as close as they got. Not very.
Nobody's perfect.
Stephanie Hopkins Hughes has written more extensively about Sir Thomas and his influence on my work, in the April 2021 De Vere Society newsletter. The PDF is available to download at this link.

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
1st March 2006- One of the more exciting releases of 2006 is the 599 GTB Fiorano. It replaces the 550/575 Maranello and offers more interior space and power than its predecessors. It also leaves behind the 575 as the last Ferrari to use a steel chassis and completes Ferrari's overhaul of their entire range which is now all-aluminum.
As with all Ferrari introductions, the 599's initial screening was completed over dinner with trusted dealers and friends, this time at the Palazzo Re Enzo in the Piazza del Nettuno, Bologna. By dinner time, so many photos of the car had surfaced, that the Geneva Motor Show release was almost old news. However, the accompanying ladies at Pininfarina's and Ferrari's Geneva stands ensured excitement, even if the cars didn't.
But how can the 599 not impress? Underneath its purposeful skin, the 599 retains the same front engine V12 layout which the 550/575 Maranello line successfully reintroduced, and to make up for its longer chassis, the 599 uses a 6.0-liter engine engineered from the same one found in the Enzo supercar that can reach 612 bhp and 8400 rpm! With it, the 599 is the most powerful front engine Ferrari!
Attached to this engine and sitting in the rear, is a considerably upgraded flappy paddle transmission called the 'F1-Superfast' that changes gears in just 100ms. This is a huge improvement compared to 250 ms in the older roadcar systems, but lags behind the 80ms FXX and 30ms Formula One unit it's named after.
Unfortunately, Ferrari's fully electronic E-Differential, first seen in the F430, is absent. It is instead replaced with intelligent mototronics called Manettino that adjust the brakes and engine to control power delivery. Ferrari says this type of system is more suitable for the front engine design. When the Manettino switch is turned onto Race or Sport mode a system called F1-Trac monitors the difference between the front and rear wheels for optimum traction.
Providing a base for the the 599 are three extruded aluminum sections on which the body is riveted and welded to. This lightweight design makes the 599's chassis 100 kg lighter than the 575 despite being 250 mm longer. And since the V12 engine is 8 percent lighter and more compact than previous versions, it can sit further back in the engine bay. This means almost 85 percent of weight is contained between the wheels.
At first glance the GTB's styling seems to mimic its larger 4-seat brother, the 612 Scaglietti. Both were designed at the same time and share the common interior bits, as well as similar front end designs which Pininfarina now sets as the enduring face of Ferrari. But unlike the 612, the 599 has an entirely new roof line and much tidier rear end treatment with two sexy rear buttresses that create 25 percent of the 599's downforce. Specifically it produces 160 kg at 300 kph.
One aspect that gets constant debate are the Delphi-sourced magnetorheological dampers that actively stabilize the car and are totally adjustable. They use special fluid in the dampers that can change viscosity almost instantly with a magnetic field. What this means is that 599 reduces about 30 % more bumps than the 599, and the damping can adjust to whatever suits the driver. The exact same system is used on GM cars such as the Corvette but Ferrari are adamite that their own controlling software is unique.
Like all Ferraris, the 599 comes with a range of options, and for the spirited customers the 'Racing and Track' options include CCM (Carbon Ceramic Material) brakes, 20 inch Challenge one-piece rims with run-flat tyres, four-point harnesses and a cockpit roll-bar.
With the 599, Ferrari seem well on their way. Each year they are selling more cars, and offer increased levels of uncompromising luxury and power. The next chapter for the 599 will hopefully start on the track and end at LeMans.

2012 HGTE Package
The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano HGTE (HGTE being an abbreviation of Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione) is an upgrade package for the 599 designed to improve the car's handling. The HGTE package is designed to deliver even sportier, more dynamic driving, to highlight the 599 GTB Fiorano's positioning in the "sports car" segment. The technical modifications introduced with the HGTE Package to the car's set-up and tyres ensure tighter, more dynamic handling, with sharper cornering and improved responsiveness whilst still being easy to drive. The HGTE package further underlines the 599 GTB Fiorano's different mission from Ferrari's other current 12-cylinder, the 612 Scaglietti which, along with the 8-cylinder Ferrari California, represents the Grand Tourer personality of the Prancing Horse's current range.
