Plowboys face Bearcats to begin Classic, season
After an 0-10 season a year ago, Roscoe head coach Jonathan Haseloff would like nothing more than for his Plowboys to win today's 7:30 p.m. season opener against De Leon to begin the Sammy Baugh Classic.A victory at Mustang Bowl over the Bearcats, who were 3-7 a year ago, would go a long way toward getting the program back on track to reaching the heights it has normally enjoyed.And playing against Haw-ley's Wing-T offense, which is similar to De Leon's, in last week's final scrimmage will help Roscoe know what to prepare for today.Haseloff said the Bearcats will run a lot of traps, sweeps and misdirection plays and stopping it will be key. "We've just got to get our confidence back," he said. "If we go out and play good we've got a chance. We just can't get too high or low. We've got to keep (our emotions) on an even keel."The team has had a good week of practice and is ready to play, Haseloff said, after facing what he called "two pretty good opponents" in Haskell and Hawley and seeing improvement.Roscoe is moving from the Wishbone to more of a spread offense, and Hasel-off said the Plowboys have been spending a lot of time throwing and catching and working on their receiving routes to get comfortable with it. The team has had to deal with some injuries in the preseason that forced a few changes, but everyone is still pushing forward."We're still going to do what we've been doing, and we're ready to go play," Haseloff said.Roscoe will get to see two of its future 2012 opponents in action here Saturday, as Irion County and Roby are scheduled to play each other at 11 a.m.The Plowboys travel to Irion County next week, but they won't take on Roby — a longtime rival who is once again in Roscoe's district — until the final game of the season on Nov. 9.

Well, geologically it is possible, even on high peaks of Himalayas they have found remains from the deep ocean.
I want to know your line of thinking. So how would a ship get on top of a mountain ?
Btw. Do you know why marine fossils can found on mountain peaks thousands of feet tall ?
Just like a marine fossil can get to top of a mountain, the same way a ship can get to the top of a mountain as well.
As for Himalayas and the various marine fossils that are found high up in Himalayas, it is simple. When the geological plate carrying the Indian sub-continent got detached from the end of Africa and moved north and hit onto the plate carrying mainland Asia, the result was Himalayas, which is a mountain range that is continuing to grow (in height) each year. When this happened, definitely the fossils from the Indian ocean floor was found on Himalayas, because it was the ocean floor which made the mountain in the first place.
I hope I made myself clear?

Have I Got Problems With Alcohol?
This really is a very simple and straight forward question you should be asking yourself, but would someone really know if they've got a severe drinking issue?
Well the easy answer is NO, and that's why most people worldwide with a severe alcohol problem don't even realize it. They seem to have their blinkers on and are only interested in seeing what's in front of them rather than stepping outside of their own little box, and people like this hardly ever admit that alcohol plays a part in their life.
How would know for certain that you have a drinking issue? You have to begin taking steps and asking yourself a few pretty severe questions about your own behavior.
You might think diagnosing any illness like drinking is simple, and it is if you follow the appropriate process, just like you would for diagnosing anything else.
So, here are eleven questions which you need to be asking yourself regarding your own personal relationship with alcohol.
If by any chance they do apply to you, then you will need to take further action, and begin treating your alcohol issue today!
1 - When I'm consuming alcohol does it cause problems?
2 - I'm constantly seeking additional alcohol when I have exceeded my limit?
3 - Have you made an attempt at Quitting alcohol before?
4 - Do I try and conceal alcohol in or around the home?
5 - After I get intoxicated do I constantly forget what I've done?
6 - When I am drinking does my personality change and I become another person?
7 - When I am inebriated do I become frightening or get angry with other people?
8 - When you're in a sad mood, or you're alone are you always looking for the bottle?
9 - Do you tend to fall out with the people around you, like friends and family when you have been drinking?
10 - Is your health affected when drinking too much alcohol?
11 - Ever thought how much your life would change for the better if you stopped drinking?
Okay now you've read and answered all the questions freely and truthfully, how many did you say "Yes" to? If you've answered "Yes" to a minimum of three questions, then you do need to start looking for help.

When Sherry Donaldson relocated here in 1979 from Kentucky because of her husband's work, she brought four horses with her. While keeping an eye out for property in the Lowcountry, they lived at Tybee Island.
When she thought she'd about reached her wits' end, lo and behold 20 acres down Palmetto Bluff Road that Herman Hubbard owned went on the market and she bought the land. Hence, Wit's End Farm was born and with lush pastures of Bermuda grass for her horses she started a beginners riding school.
Her two children, then teenagers, rode and competed in horse shows at all levels. Daughter Jessica, now grown, and a wife and mother, did 4-foot jumps. Son Micah, also grown, trained cutting horses, became an Eagle Scout with troop 241, is now a full-time employee with Boy Scouts of America and a trained Farrier.
Sherry's education being in Horticulture Animal Science played right into her lifestyle of having two 4-H clubs, one called the Barn Rats, based on her farm. She's also had obedience classes for dogs, sold herbs and did all the plant and animal things done on a farm.
Her training as an event and dressage rider has been put on hold since she became mobility impaired. She drives a cart pulled by her Welsh pony named Copper. She still boards a few fox hunters while coaching riders with their own horses, always ready and willing to offer assistance with her twinkling eyes and brilliant smile.
She loves her Wit's End Farm!

Since Rafael Benitez was appointed Interim Chelsea Manager on November 21, Fernando Torres has been in inspired form, netting seven goals in 10 games. Compare that to seven goals in the previous 20 games prior to the Spaniards arrival, and it's plain to see that Torres has been in resurgent form.
This gives the 28-year-old striker a goals to game ratio of 0.7, which is higher than his career total of 0.4 goals per game. Torres' upturn in form has helped Benitez endear himself to the club's fans, after the initial outrage that greeted his appointment. His goal surge has also propelled Chelsea into the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup, and kept the Stamford Bridge outfit competitive at the top end of the league table.
It is no coincidence that Torres' ability to find the net has returned with the appointment of Benitez. During his time at Liverpool, he scored 0.57 goals per game - the best scoring rate of his career for any club. During his first season at Anfield, Torres enjoyed his best goal-scoring season, with a goals to game ratio of 0.72. This was also under the management of 52-year-old Benitez and is only marginally better than his ratio under Benitez at Chelsea.
Torres' revival is due to the tactics Benitez employs. He has a very direct style, with Chelsea now spending much less time controlling possession in their own half and more time spent in the final third, pressing and attacking the opposition. Undoubtedly, this presents Torres with more goal-scoring opportunities, so it's little surprise that his goal tally has improved significantly.
Additionally, the decision to play David Luiz in midfield has been an inspired one. Although the Brazilian's job is primarily to protect the defence, the 25-year-old uses his creative flair to get forward and set up chances for the attackers. Under Benitez, Juan Mata has also played a more prominent role, with he and Torres forming a good understanding. With Mata in the best form of his Chelsea career and at his most creative playing behind the Blues' number nine, this can only help Torres and Chelsea as they look to continually improve over the course of the season.

First of all, FRAND is a commitment Samsung makes to a standards body regarding the patent it has submitted for inclusion into a standard (they have a choice here). In return for a guaranteed stream of income for their IP, they have to make certain sacrifices so that essential standards are affordable to implementers.
Secondly, Samsung had already worked around Apple's iPad design by slightly altering the appearance of their tablet offerings. I also do not see why the phone icon has to have a green background or a square shape. On the other hand, there is no way for Apple to avoid Samsung's patents without breaking compatibility with essential standards such as UMTS, which would make their products useless.

Going to Beijing and not seeing The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square would be like going to the Emerald Coast of Florida and not going to the beach. So naturally our "23 Big Noses" visited many sites in Beijing but most certainly these two.
Everyone has seen photos of The Forbidden City (see the film, �The LastEmperor of China� if possible), but how many know why there is such a barren space in front of the major edifice? I do not think anyone in our group had heard before, but the reason was very simple for an emperor/total dictator: Being surrounded by trees would afford coverage for would-be assassins or others intent on harm.
Additionally, trees would lend themselves to fires. As the royal buildings were of wood, all precautions were taken to protect this hallowed compound. There were many huge cauldrons that were used to hold water; underneath these were places for fire. So the cauldrons served two purposes, to put out fires should they occur and to provide warm water for the emperor, his family, closest security, and his numerous concubines.
As one would imagine, the Forbidden City compound was enormous, consisting of many, many buildings.
We saw all that we could then went to the infamous Tiananmen Square. It is guarded by Tiananmen Gate � ironically, the name meaning Gate of Heavenly Peace.
That is hardly appropriate when one considers what began there the night of June 4, 1989, when hundreds, then thousands, of Chinese � mostly youths � began to protest various Chinese government stances. I have a special interest as my older daughter who was going around the world with a friend was in the square the night it all began.
Today the Chinese government calls the atrocities that commenced that night the �June Fourth Incident,� noting it was a �counterrevolutionary riot,� but historians estimate �hundreds to thousands� were killed. Needless to say, my daughter and friend fled the area and fled Beijing the next morning. She had seen small protests in the U.S. but what she witnessed in Tiananmen Square has left a not-to-be forgotten scar.
From Beijing, we flew to Luoyang, a city made famous by the hundreds of grottos filled with statues of Buddha, dating to 1,500 years ago � different Buddhas � even female Buddhas. I have been doing a bit of study of Buddhism but my knowledge is so shallow, I had no idea there was more than one Buddha, much less female ones.
The grottos were carved into high rock cliffs. Throughout the centuries, peasants have lived in them, and many caves are missing their statues. Often, if the statues still remain, the heads are gone as they have brought prices that would sustain families who had nothing else. Now it is well preserved but climbing to see them proved most challenging � even to a former athlete.
Climbing up was a bit easier than climbing down. At one point, where one could ascend to the highest grotto, I thought I would just rest my knees which had begun to scream. But when I saw my 82-year-old sister halfway up the steep stairs, I felt compelled to meet the challenge. As one might imagine, the climb was rewarded with up close views of Buddha after Buddha, a sight not to be missed when in China.
While in Luoyang, we had one of our more delightful experiences.
We visited a middle school in a rural area; we were treated to several classrooms of 13- and 14-year-old students who are studying English. Each of us could pick any student at random and speak English with her/him. I chose a shy, somewhat skinny 13-year-old girl, LiLi. United States public school students would be amazed � no shocked � to learn that LiLi had arrived at school at 7 a.m. and would be there until 6 p.m. Her English, though halting, was understandable and, with effort, she could follow what I was saying.
She also noted that after school, her favorite time was spent playing table tennis, or ping pong. Seeing the tenacity of these students in their school, it was easy to understand that they most likely would behave accordingly at their sports. Thus they usually are the ping pong champions in the world arena.
The next day, we entered the city of Xi�an, home of the unbelievable terra cotta warriors. This site is exceedingly difficult to describe for how can one explain seeing 7,000 life-sized terra cotta figures, with an unknown number yet to be uncovered. Excavating continues as tourists observe from a high platform surrounding what has been exposed thus far.
Most of us had been told the warriors were carved exactly like the persons they represented in real life but our local guide corrected this, explaining that the numerous artists carved images of one another. There are also carved horses, war chariots, and other war paraphernalia an emperor�s army would have. After all, they were there to protect the Qin Emperor when he was buried 2,000 years ago.
After two days in Xi�an, each of us took our �high altitude� pills to prepare for our morning entry into Tibet.
More to follow.

It seems like distant news now but stem cells used to be on the cover on every scientific journal and on the forefront of all news outlets. This was during the stem cell research boom of the 1990s but research has cooled since then as funding and rules regarding stem cell research have fluctuated over the years.
Now some of the promises of stem cell research and development are coming true, and one newborn in Corpus Christi, Texas is the first in her town to receive a new stem cell treatment. The procedure is known as Evercord, and while baby Everly Castaneda won't use the procedure immediately, her stem cells are now safely locked away should they ever need to be used for any future procedure.
One of the main goals of any parent is to keep their children safe, even if it's safe from events that haven't even happened yet. "If anything came up in the future [my kids] would have a fighting chance." Said Everly's father, Marcos Castaneda.
It's thought that stem cells will be used in the future of a host of medical services and procedures and that stem cells will be the key in producing safer and more effective organ transplants. The Castaneda family elected to have Everlys umbilical stem cells because instances of cancer and heart disease are prevalent on both sides kenneth Pettine of the family. Should Everly ever require a procedure such as a heart transplant, her own stem cells will be ready and willing to aid in therapy if the technology exists.
Other Stem Cell Breakthroughs
Utilizing a patient's own stem cells is nothing new in the stem cell world though developments are moving fast. Recently Dr. Kenneth Pettine of Loveland, Colorado completed a three-year FDA study that demonstrated a patient's own mesenchymal stem cells could be utilized to cure symptoms of degenerative diseases suffered by millions of Americans such as osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. Pettine's early research indicates that stem cells were safe and effective at reducing inflammation, lessening pain symptoms, and reducing the need for invasive surgery.
It's research like Pettines and new techniques like the one for Everly that are pushing stem cell technologies to the forefront of medical techniques. It's fun to wonder what type of stem cell services will be provided to newborns by the time Everly has a child of her own.

12 players top the 2013 Heisman Trophy watch list
Unlike past winners, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel will have three more years – if he chooses to use all of his eligibility – to take home his second Heisman and join former Ohio State running back Archie Griffin as the only two-time selections in the trophy's history.
After winning the Heisman as a sophomore, Tim Tebow came in third as a junior and fifth as a senior. Former Southern California quarterback Matt Leinart won the Heisman as a junior and came in third as a senior, far behind his teammate, Reggie Bush. Former Brigham Young quarterback Ty Detmer finished first in 1990 and third in 1991. To follow in Griffin's footsteps, Manziel would need to sidestep decades of Heisman tradition.
MANZIEL: A&M quarterback's journey is only beginning
But by becoming the first freshman to win the trophy, Manziel has positioned himself to enter the 2013 season as the frontrunner to do so again – and again and again, until another challenger comes up and takes control of the Heisman conversation. (It'll happen eventually.)
So a 2013 Heisman watch list picks up right where the 2012 voting left off, with Manziel in the top spot. Two questions: Will there be a Johnny Football backlash, and are there any defenders capable of making a Manti Te'o-like leap into the Heisman mix? Here are the top 12 contenders followed by a short list of players to watch (those players that seem destined for the NFL a year early are not included):
1. QB Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M (sophomore)
What does Johnny Football do for an encore? How does Manziel improve upon a banner debut? It won't be easy, but consider why Manziel will be even better in 2013: a better supporting cast of playmakers, another year of experience, another year in A&M's offense and another year of experience in the Southeastern Conference.
2. QB Braxton Miller, Ohio State (junior)
Miller was perfect for Urban Meyer's offense, as most expected. What most didn't expect was such improvement from Miller as a passer, and that points towards even greater progression during his second full season as the Buckeyes' starter. Ohio State also will enter 2013 with a high ranking, which helps.
3. QB Jordan Lynch, Northern Illinois (senior)
While coach Dave Doeren is gone, NIU won't miss a beat in the transition to former offensive line coach and offensive coordinator Rod Carey. The Huskies bring back a tremendous amount of talent in 2013, beginning with Lynch. You could say Lynch could help his 2013 campaign tremendously with a strong game against Florida State in this year's Orange Bowl.
4. WR Marqise Lee, USC (junior)
The only question: Who's throwing Lee the ball? While Lee remains the most dangerous skill player in college football, one can only wonder if the transition from Matt Barkley to USC's next quarterback might lead to a slight decline in production. But Lee does it all, and does it better than anyone else, which should allow him to remain a prime Heisman contender.
5. QB Aaron Murray, Georgia (senior)
Murray might test the NFL draft waters, but he'd be wise to return to Georgia for his senior season. There's much to be gained, from a higher draft slot in 2014 to the potential for another run at Alabama in the SEC. Murray and the next player on this list, Alabama's AJ McCarron, also will need to fight Manziel to become the top quarterback coming out of the SEC.
6. QB AJ McCarron, Alabama (senior)
McCarron's looking at his second national title in as many years if Alabama beats Notre Dame on Jan. 7. Given his own statistical gains – he leads the nation in quarterback efficiency – his team's consistent success with him under center might push the 2013 Heisman McCarron's way.
7. QB Marcus Mariota, Oregon (sophomore)
The only issue is the potential that Oregon coach Chip Kelly leaves Oregon for the NFL after January's Fiesta Bowl. The Ducks won't drop off the map if Kelly departs, but it's easy to see the offense take a slight step back – even if offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich takes the reins. Even a coaching change won't stem Mariota's development, however.
8. QB Taylor Martinez, Nebraska (senior)
The schedule works out nicely for Nebraska in 2013, which will help Martinez's cause. He also will be teamed with a very experienced offense: Nebraska's offensive line will be very good, the backfield loaded and the receiver corps the best in the Big Ten. Look for Martinez to have a tremendous final season.
9. QB Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville (junior)
Bridgewater hit a bump in October before closing the regular season with a bang. Traditionally, a quarterback takes the next step forward during his third season in the starting lineup – and it's not like Bridgewater isn't already playing at a high level.
10. DE Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina (junior)
Clowney is an unstoppable menace to all things offense. Come 2013, he'll be the best player in college football. Can a true defensive player win the Heisman? Unless South Carolina works him into the offense – and I'm sure Steve Spurrier has things in mind – he'll need, like Te'o, to lead the Gamecocks to a perfect season.
11. QB Tajh Boyd, Clemson (senior)
Why so low? Because of the potential that offensive coordinator Chad Morris will leave Clemson to become a head coach, perhaps at Texas Tech. (I'd hire Morris in a second.) If so, Boyd and his weapons at wide receiver will lose one of the great offensive coaches in the FBS. That would hurt the Tigers.
12. RB Ka'Deem Carey, Arizona (junior)
Very quietly, Carey's 2012 season was one of the best from any player in college football. Like Arizona's offense at large, Carey is only going to grow more comfortable in Rich Rodriguez's system as he gains additional experience. All the Wildcats need to do is find a quarterback to help loosen up opposing defenses.
UPS AND DOWNS: The best and worst from the 2012 regular season

How To Prepare Dried Mushrooms for Cooking
Dried mushrooms are often listed as an essential pantry item by many accomplished cooks. They may not be right there on top with olive oil and sacks of rice but they usually hold their own somewhere in the middle, especially if you cook Asian or European cuisines. Dried mushrooms can be pricy, but they pack a lot of flavor. Once the mushrooms are soaked, strained, and chopped, even just a small amount will add enormous flavor to a dish. Here's how to make the most of your dried mushrooms.
Once an exotic, somewhat obscure item, dried mushrooms are easily available in many grocery stores these days. They fall roughly into two categories: Asian mushrooms like shiitake, wood ear, cloud ear, and matsutake, and European/American mushrooms like porcini, morel, trumpet, and chanterelle. Their quality, flavor, and amount of grit can vary considerably. Price is often a good guide as the pricier versions tend to be of higher quality and lower grit. Purchase your mushrooms from a reliable source or find a brand that you can rely on for quality. They will last a very long time — a year, if not more — if kept in a well-sealed container.
Dried mushrooms need to be reconstituted with water before you can use them, and this produces two wonderful things: the mushrooms themselves and their flavorful soaking liquid. Both can be used in soups, stews, sauces, pâtés, and gratins. Often dried mushrooms are used in conjunction with not-so-flavorful button mushrooms to give them a boost. Dried mushrooms add a rich, meaty, savory note and are high in umami.
The Grit
One of the big challenges with dried mushrooms is grit. Dried mushrooms are notoriously gritty and it only takes the tiniest amount of it to ruin a whole dish. Some people have even given up on dried mushrooms due to the fact that they can't seem to get the grit out. Soaking as we explain here will remove the majority of it, and rinsing, too, will often take care of the rest.
Cheap and low-grade mushrooms tend to have more grit, and the amount of grit can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, depending on how they handle the mushrooms. Ask around, find a brand you like and stick with them.
The Soak
The best way to reconstitute dried mushrooms is to simply soak them in water. Many recipes call for hot or warm water but it isn't always necessary to use hot water. Room temperature water will also soften the mushrooms and many people believe it extracts less of the flavor from the mushrooms, leaving more mushroomy flavor right there in the mushroom where it belongs.
I experimented for this post and reconstituted 2 batches of thinly sliced, dried porcinis, 1/2 ounce each, taken from the same packet. One batch was soaked in hot water and the other in room temperature water, both for 1/2 hour. The results were interesting: I found that not only did the mushrooms soften almost as quickly in room temperature water as they did in hot water, but the room temp mushrooms did indeed hang onto more flavor. The batch of mushrooms softened in hot water were less flavorful and their soaking broth was significantly darker.
I have not yet tested this with thicker dried mushrooms, like whole shiitake caps, which I suspect would take a little longer to soften in room temp water. Andrea Nguyen has a wonderful post on her blog Viet World Kitchen which talks about giving shiitakes a long slow soak (8 hours or more) to encourage mushrooms that are "deeply flavored, amazingly firm and velvety when cut."
Bottom line: Start your mushrooms soaking as the first step in your recipe and use room temperature water. Use hot water for thickly sliced or capped mushrooms only if you are in a hurry.
The Rinse
Some people don't rinse their mushrooms after soaking because they believe that the flavor gets washed away. Others swear that the mushrooms should be rinsed as there is often residual grit. I'm in agreement with the rinsers here. I give my soaked mushrooms a good rinse under running water to remove any hidden, stubborn grit and I haven't noticed a change in flavor. I always taste one, too, before adding it to my dish, just to be sure.
The Flavorful Broth
No matter if you use hot or cool water, the mushrooms will produce a dark, flavorful broth that should not be tossed away. Often it can be used in the recipe you are soaking the mushrooms for but be careful: the flavor is strong and can overwhelm the dish. If you don't want to use it right away, store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for several days or freeze it for even longer.
Much of the mushroom's grit is released into the soaking water and will have fallen to the bottom of the bowl. You do not want to add this grit to your dish so either pour it carefully out, leaving the heavier grit in the bowl or strain your broth through a coffee filter or paper towel. I like to strain it: that way I am sure all the grit is left behind.
How To Work with Dried Mushrooms
What You Need
Dried mushrooms, any amount and any variety
Room temperature water (See Recipe Note)
2 bowls or jars big enough to hold the mushrooms and water
Coffee filter or paper towel
- Measure the mushrooms: Most recipes call for dried mushrooms to be measured in weight. Weigh the mushrooms, then place them in a bowl.
- Cover the mushrooms with water: Cover generously with water and gently push on the mushrooms to submerge them into the water.
- Soak your mushrooms: Soaking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the mushrooms. Most thinly sliced mushrooms will be rehydrated in 20 to 30 minutes. Thicker and whole cap mushrooms may take a little longer — you can rush this a bit by soaking them in hot water. Mushrooms are ready to use when they have softened all the way through.
- Remove the mushrooms from the liquid: When the mushrooms are soft, lift them from the water using your fingers or a spoon, squeezing them lightly to remove as much water as possible.
- Rinse the mushrooms: Taste a mushroom. If you detect any grittiness, you'll need to rinse them. Place the mushrooms in a strainer and run them under the faucet for several seconds, tossing them and making sure all the grit is gone. Your mushrooms are now ready for your recipe.
- Strain the soaking liquid: Place the strainer over the second bowl and line with a coffee filter or paper towel. Pour the soaking liquid into the strainer and allow it to drain through. Discard the filter. Use the soaking liquid in your recipe or store in the refrigerator in a covered container for about one week (or freeze for up to 3 months).
Recipe Note:
• Faster Rehydrated Mushrooms: If you're in a hurry, use warm or hot water to soak your mushrooms. Your mushrooms will soften more quickly, but more of their flavor will be extracted into the soaking water.

Getting WBA off my chest
Our expectations are – or should be – lower this season. But not significantly low as to shrug off a 1-0 home defeat to one of the league's poorer sides, a side that had not beaten us at White Hart Lane since 1984, the year of my birth. And especially when the performance was also so disappointing.
It is, of course, far too early to pass judgement on Mauricio Pochettino. He is eight matches (and just five in the league) into what will hopefully be a long reign. The style of play that he's attempting to implement is sufficiently complex to require significant work on the training ground, and he simply has not had enough time yet for it to be fair to expect a lot more than what we have: a set of players not yet fulfilling his instructions. I can absolutely forgive that at this stage.
But what I cannot forgive is a lack of effort. The players should always be sufficiently motivated to go out and try as hard as they can and, certainly for some on the pitch yesterday, it did not feel that they were. And that does concern me – and it will, no doubt, concern Pochettino. His response to this will be fascinating, and his team selections against Nottingham Forest and Arsenal will be telling.
I could spend hours reeling off reasons for yesterday's poor showing, but I do not have the time or inclination and I'm sure, dear reader, you don't either. So I'll stick to three that I consider key.
Europa League
We made ten changes for the midweek game, and so the players should have been suitably fit for Sunday's match, right? That argument totally misses the point of the Europa League 'distraction' argument. The key for me is not the number of games – we have a deep enough squad to cope with them – but the consequence of preparing for two matches in a week rather than one.
From Monday, West Bromwich Albion will have been working hard on their approach for this game. How to stop us, how to hurt us; analysing our strengths and weaknesses. From Monday, we had to prepare for Partizan Belgrade on Thursday. A number of players then had to spend half a day travelling to Serbia, and another half travelling home. Do we assume, then, that we spent Friday and Saturday preparing for West Brom? That's two days. And how much can a coach achieve in two days?
I love Spurs participating in European competitions, and I would love us to win the Europa League. Even those coming from the 'sack it off and focus on top four' angle now have a slightly different outlook since winning the Europa League is rewarded with a Champions League place. It is no coincidence, though, that eight of Spurs' last thirteen league defeats have come after a Thursday night Europa League match. It is clearly an issue that we need to learn to overcome if we are to be successful in both domestic and European competitions.
I was full of praise for Mousa Dembélé on last week's Fighting Cock podcast. He was excellent against Sunderland – he won the ball regularly and used it well, the opening goal being a prime example of his quick and simple distribution having won possession. He found our more creative players with regularity between Sunderland's defence and midfield, and we created numerous chances as a result.
But he was as bad against West Brom as he was good against Sunderland. He was ponderous on the ball – constantly wanting too many touches – and this led to him losing possession three times in dangerous areas. The below illustrates his passes in the 61 minutes he played yesterday, compared to his passes during the 68 minutes he played in a deep midfield position against Sunderland (before he was pushed further forward to accommodate Stambouli).
In neither game did he make a single pass into the box, but against Sunderland he made plenty of short, incisive passes in dangerous areas. The difference is stark – you would be forgiven for confusing his pass map from yesterday with one of Tom Cleverley's for Manchester United; plenty of sideways passes and no penetration.
In Pochettino's teams the role Dembélé is playing is a vital one, which was one reason why Pochettino was so keen to sign Schneiderlin, despite the vast price attributed to him. The player in this role is vital for slick transition from defence to attack – he is required to be involved in ball-winning, but also to move the ball quickly to the creative elements of the team to catch the opposition off-guard having won possession.
In May I wrote a piece for FourFourTwo just after Pochettino's appointment; I speculated that Dembélé might be a player that would struggle. It's far too early to say that this is the case, but he will need to adapt his game in order to hold down a regular position, particularly with Bentaleb and Stambouli – two players keen to pass the ball quickly – breathing down his neck.
I have been an advocate for Adebayor in a community where many want him cast aside in order to give Soldado a prolonged run. Yesterday's performance, though, was unacceptable. Ignoring the missed header – because, on seeing a few replays, the ball *was* just ahead of him – he simply didn't trouble the West Brom defence. He failed to involve himself in the game, having just 25 touches of the ball. His pass completion was 46% – he completed just six passes.
Some of Adebayor's below-par performance can be put down to a lack of service – Eriksen and especially Lamela were very wasteful, whilst Chadli was a peripheral figure – but he seemed to submit too easily to Lescott's dominance.
Equally worrying was that Soldado's cameo was one where nothing really went right for him and, whilst he managed to involve himself quite well, his final pass and shot were lacking. Harry Kane played poorly in Serbia, but would have been a useful option from the bench yesterday with his ability to link play on the edge of the box.
I could write further about Vlad Chiricheș' nervous display, and Erik Lamela's appalling marking for James Morrison's winner, but I will end on a positive – we have two big matches this week, and two big opportunities. Nottingham Forest top the Championship with young striker, Britt Assombalonga, tormenting defences. Arsenal seem to have regained form just at the right time, with Welbeck opening his account at the weekend. Positive performances in these two games would transform the feeling surrounding the team and give us a huge boost. COYS.
It'd be really cool if you could help me out by voting for our podcast, The Fighting Cock, in the 'Podcast' category of the Football Blogging Awards. To do so, either tweet using this link or submit this form.
Wonder how many managers work on opposition tactics at the start of the week. I think Tony Pulis is a rare exception.
Most of them do a little work on the day before the game. I imagine this is because players are so thick they struggle to retain information for more than 24 hours. Or more seriously, to retain the let's focus on ourselves and not *too much* the opposition.
avb had a complex game plan so complex nobody understood it and the players just gave up.We saw exactly the same thing yesterday players hadnt got a clue what their meant to do .For christ sake keep it simple ,no bloody inverted wingers ever again and tippy tappy rubbish in our half while the opposition defence get themselves comfortably set.I bet wpould have beaten them comfortably under tim.
on sunday I travel with my 2 children from stoke on trent we left at 08.00 am to watch shity match again a team in bottom
Sounds like you are yearning for the return of Sherwood, spurgatso! lol.
Though with Sherwood in charge yesterday I've no doubt we would have won comfortably. He would no doubt have played 4-4-2. When Spurs reverted to that yesterday and brought on Lennon as a normal right winger we improved somewhat (though we couldn't have got any worse!). Unfortunately Pochettino is not being pragmatic; if the players can't understand the system why persevere with it? Shades of AVB?
2 defensive midfielders at home to West Brom?!? It was obvious how they would play. There was a good case for starting with both Ade and Soldado and 2 conventional wingers
Well Halfmoon, Sherwood was criticised last year for playing 2 box to box midfielders and not a dedicated defensive midfielder. Yet Pochettino was doing the same as AVB playing Capoue and Dembele as defensive midfielders! Yesterday reminded me of the 1st Arsenal game last season when Capoue went off injured and we lost 1-0. Very sterile with 2 DM's
WBA haven't got great players. 2 strikers would have stretched their 2 CB's Lescott and Dawson. We should have played Lennon as an orthodox right winger. Dier doesn't have the pace or ability to get forward like Walker so we needed a right winger. Rose does have the pace and ability to get forward down the left. To beat WBA you needed 2 strikers and attack them down the wings since they were very tight and compact in the middle of the park. Yet Lamela and Erikson ignored the full backs when they got forward and tried to find a way through the packed middle. Brainless!!
If yesterdays result had happened with Sherwood in charge he would have been slated on these blog sites. He would have been called a tactically clueless (actually a lot worse!) loud mouthed, no nothing, Arsenal supporter! Pochettino has got off lightly!
WBA played 4-4-2 yet they defended well enough!
Sherwood had the same philosophy as Redknapp. VdV said Redknapp never bothered with giving in depth tactical team talks. Just said go out and play and "run about a bit"! lol. Levy's got this fixation with Continental coaches. Ramos, AVB, now Pochettino. You'd think he'd learn his lesson.
I do not see a clamour by owners to give Sherwood a Managers job, so his philosophy " shout loud" is not in demand. Under Redknapp we also failed to start many games at a fast tempo. Must be the atmosphere at WHL.
He appears to have been offered jobs, but turned them down. Not to his liking.
He's in no rush. After all he must have got a big pay off from Spurs. A years salary at least.
Pochettino will have learned not to trust certain players. TS had the advantage of knowing them from the inside over a long time. Dembele and to a lessor degree Adebayor are players that Pochettino has been landed with. Dembele is always spouting off to the media reminds me of Jermaine Jenas. Essentially he lacks belief, should be a leader but only can use his strength on the ball with no end result, or make sideways or back passes.
Our problems right now:
* Underestimating opposition.
* Too much squad rotation.
* No width in midfield.
* Always playing 1 up top.
On the last point, we pretty much played the same tactics vs WBA as we did against Liverpool.
Firstly, i was supprised at the bench on saturday, why no stambouli and fazio, secondly i think naming kaboul as captain has shot himself in the foot as it appears to me that fazio and vertongen are the the best centre backs ,but unlikley to play together in the league.Must start stambouli in the important games so please dont start him against forest if you then wont play against the arsenal.
If Sherwood had produced back to back home performances that poor the world and his dog would have slaughtered him. Give me Sherwood's positive approach and the prospect of scoring goals any day of the week over "botch" or AVB mark two. He even squatted down like him. You sack managers if they do badly or there is someone better. Nothing at Tottenham is better. Who in their right mind leaves out Vertonghen for the two clowns we had at centre back and does not rectify it. "Boch" has already lost as many home league games as Sherwood did. The eleven home games under Sherwood we won 8 and only lost to top teams. We failed to score just once. We managed only one shot on target in 90 minutes yesterday. The only positive was that WBA did not win by the margin they deserved. No heart, no passion, no team pattern, no organisation. If Sherwood was sacked with his record and even AVB who had won 8 and lost 5 before the boot then we will be looking for someone else by the New Year. The fact remains that the best this bloke has ever done in any league is 8th and that sums him up. Sherwood"s Tottenham beat his Southampton twice so no more.
Brilliant post, Cliff. Spot on.
Yesterdays performance could be straight out of the AVB era. In fact Pochettino could well be an AVB clone.
Only one shot on target against WBA! Abysmal!
At least Sherwood tried to get the team to play with some passion.
Very true. We reverted to AVB. He did a lot of damage. It's because when they have an away mid week game they fly out on Tuesday and get back late thursday effectively losing a week on the training field. Poch and the first team should stay home
Utter dross that I had witnessed against the baggies.
They truly deserved their victory and you have to admire the fight and passion they had, something that our lot need in bundles.
Our Europa league group should be easy, and despite us having a big squad I woudnt mind us playing just youth players like Mason and Veljikovic because the europa league has been our burden. The only time we got in the champions league was when we werent in the europa league. I was wondering for those away matches in eastern europe, does poch have to travel because id rather him stay and concentrate on the prem.
Having sat through the game it has become clear the Bale money was wasted with overpriced averaged players. Only Erickson is the exception. Soldado is never going to be a regular prem scorer. Lamella just dribbles until he loses is and will never be a BALE replacement. Chiriches is behond poor and not good enough. The others signed are very average and no better than the players they have replaced. AVB, Sherwood or Pock the result will be the same. No game changing player signed so around 6th is as far as this squad can go at best. Lower if yesterdays performance is repeated.
I agree with Cliff + most other fans who wrote in.Keep it simple and stop playing complicated tactics.Bin Ade and Kaboul.
Players aren't good enough. Tactics may be wrong arguably but there isn't anyone in our team that can turn it. Bale used to be that man, Modric used to be that man. They could make things happen. AVB might have been tactically complex but he wanted three players. Hulk, Moutinho and Villa all which we had a very good chance of acquiring. Yesterday it was so obvious these three would have made a difference. Yet we got seven (with the exception of Ericksen maybe) average players.
We have no real deep lying playmaker who can pass (Moutinho), no intelligent forward play (Villa) creating that pass and no outlet on the wing for someone with speed and physicality (Hulk) that can play like a winger should play instead of this inverted crap.
Begs questions about our transfer policy for the last 3 seasons. We never replaced Modric or Bale. Were these summer signings Poch's first choices? No. Just like AVB he didn't seem to have much of a say in it all. We never got going in the transfer market, ponderous and slow as usual. Not all Spurs fault but we didn't get who we wanted and we didn't offload all those we needed too. There were no significant upgrades on last seasons team so I don't know why we expect a different result.
Admittedly, the three positions mentioned aren't the only issue. The defence looks beyond weak and Lloris must be completely done with it by now. We didn't upgrade the left back position, Davies looks out of his depth, Dier is decent, will be one for the future but he won't make massive impacts now and Fazio was a third choice at best option who may or may not prove to be an astute buy but looks like he isn't favoured by Poch. We miss Walker badly.
I just don't understand the mentality at Spurs full stop. For several seasons it's been painfully obvious what our issues have been and again this season it is too. We just don't react well in the market and we make poor decisions every time. It's tragic. I feel sorry for Poch, I feel his hands are probably tied, but he really needs to start getting the best out of this bunch and I agree that starts with keeping it simple.
People are getting far to carried away. Lets put things into perspective: Liverpool lost against wham. Manu against Liecester…In a way even Chel & City lost points- our loss, whilst not great, could hae been a lot worse. Seems liek we still have the European hangover, but I am sure Poch will fix this with time…
I can't say I watched the west brom game (other than highlights) but i did watch partizan and was at sunderland game thus to say
Poch must be given time, fans must stay positive we aren't the only team restructuring dropping points to teams we shouldn't as frustrating as it is…
In regards to Dembele for me he's playing to deep, personally I would use Capoue, Bentalab or Stanboulie in front of the back 4.
In terms of the front 3 without kyle walker offering pacy width we have looked a little slow and narrow in the final 3rd especially playing inverted wingers personally i like playing one inverted winger and one 'traditional' winger what does that look like for us perhaps playing lamela right, townsend left (although he likes playing on the right he is left footed) and erikson in the middle but i don't think the balance is great… could be one for january transfer window.
In regards to adey he is the sort of player who will look world class one week and utterly brutal the next. Poch has got to learn when to bring him in and not, soldado for me should start against forest, bring Adey back in against arsenal. I like Harry Kane but he looks also to be struggling a little with confidence and we also need to use him to his strengths a little more if we play with him.
The only thing I would suggest maybe is playing a 4-1-4-1 formation something like…
Walker Dier Super Yan Rose
Lamela Erikson Dembele Townsend
anyway what do I know…
What does Poch see in Rose? The boy is too short, has no defensive positional sense, doesn't run down the wing to give us options and can't put in a decent cross to save his life. He is NOT a premiership player.
Our build-up in general is always too slow. Far too many unnecessary passes which allow the opposition to re-group. With Walker, Lennon and dare I say it, Townsend, in the team, we have the ability to break out quickly. Oh how we miss Gareth Bale!
As for the strikers, how on earth do we expect to get through a season with just three in our ranks. Soldado needs to pay with a strike partner. Give the guy some games for God's sake.
I can't put into adequate words, without resorting to foul language, my loathing of the likes of Spursgatso and the other Sherwood fanboys who are crawling out of the woodwork all of a sudden. Pochettino is giving people chances or enough rope to hang themselves by. Dembele is an apt example of the latter and he wasn't much use in the World Cup, either. We used to think that the problem was a groin injury, but the issue is between his ears. He is too afraid to make a mistake and that's the reason he never shoots. By the way, if we play 442 against Arsenal, it may be carnage as their strength is their very mobile midfield.

Schools: Gettysburg College
After more than a year of public pressure from FIRE, Gettysburg College amended its controversial Sexual Misconduct Policy. Gettysburg students are now free from the draconian policy, which failed to distinguish between an innocent, spontaneous hug and forcible rape. The school's old Sexual Misconduct Policy infringed on students' rights to due process and fundamental fairness. Despite months of agreeing to undertake an administrative review and revision of the Sexual Misconduct Policy, Gettysburg continued to maintain it. In response, FIRE added Gettysburg to its Red Alert list, where FIRE highlights the "worst of the worst" offenders against liberty on campus. In light of the policy change, Gettysburg was removed from FIRE's Red Alert list. The original policy's broad definition of sexual interaction included not only sex acts but also "brushing, touching, grabbing, pinching, patting, hugging, and kissing," drawing no distinction between innocent hugging and sex crimes. The revised policy has eliminated the language equating rape with mere hugging. Instead, it prohibits "[s]exual misconduct, including sexual assault, [which] is defined as deliberate physical contact of a sexual nature without the other person's consent."

You know a way to make it more likely to catch sex offenders? Make the definition of "sex offense" so broad that virtually any physical contact counts as sexual assault. Then whenever anyone is accused of a sex offense the authorities can find them guilty at their discretion. Sure, it means that a good number of innocent people will probably be found guilty of one of the most horrible crimes one person can commit against another, but it definitely would make prosecutions easier!

Gettysburg College has revised its sexual misconduct policy more than a year after it was criticized by a nonprofit foundation as being too broad and arbitrary. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which advocates for free speech issues on college campuses, objected to the policy in May 2006 because it listed several actions, including patting, hugging and kissing, as examples of sexual misconduct. Under the new policy, the definition simply defines sexual misconduct as "deliberate physical contact of a sexual nature without the other person's consent."

We wouldn't have to put this whole population behind bars, mind you, but anytime someone was murdered we could lock up everyone in that age group who had been near the murder scene. After all, they have been declared guilty by virtue of their age.

The Hug Police Invade Higher Education
June 9, 2006
It's best not to hug anyone at Gettysburg College. At least not unless you want to get charged with sexual misconduct. Maybe Gettysburg administrators didn't watch enough Care Bears when they were children. Maybe they were victims of drive-by huggings. Whatever their motivation, the result is an overbroad sexual misconduct policy which makes no distinction between rape and a spontaneous hug. The controversial policy, being challenged by the free speech watch-dog group the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), sets the parameters for acceptable sexual contact. There needs to be consent, which it defines as "the act of willingly […]» Read More
On campus, an absurd overregulation of sexual conduct
May 22, 2006
IN THE EARLY 1990s, in the midst of a national debate about feminism, sexual relationships, and sexual violence, the media discovered an unusual sexual conduct policy at Antioch College, a small liberal arts school in Ohio. The policy, adopted in response to complaints from a group called Womyn of Antioch about not enough being done to stop date rape on campus, mandated explicit verbal consent every step of the way in a sexual encounter — from undoing a button to sexual intercourse. At the time, it elicited a lot of mockery. But while the debate has gone away, the mindset […]» Read More

by Steve Marroni The Evening Sun Both Gettysburg College and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education agree there is a world of difference between a hug and sexual assault.

An impulsive hug could land a student in serious trouble at Gettysburg College, or at least that is the interpretation of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which yesterday challenged the school to change its "arbitrary and overbroad" sexual misconduct policy. Most colleges have such policies, but Gettysburg's is unusual in identifying "physical contact of a lewd type such as brushing, touching, grabbing, pinching, patting, hugging and kissing" as violations. Gettysburg also requires that verbal consent be given before engaging in sexual conduct, reminiscent of a policy at Antioch College in Ohio that became the butt of late-night television […]» Read More

The old Gettysburg policy's draconian restrictions are a key example of how university harassment and sexual misconduct policies provide the opportunity for administrative abuse-something that will be made even more likely under OCR's newly required "preponderance of the evidence" standard for adjudicating these cases.

Campus Alert: Hug at your own risk
May 29, 2007
Every hour, students at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania commit sexual misconduct. How? No, the student body isn't made up of sexual predators. It's because Gettysburg's sexual-misconduct policy makes even the most innocent student interactions a violation. Gettysburg requires its students to gain consent before sexual interaction. No surprises there: That's not only the law, it's common sense. But what isn't common sense is how Gettysburg defines "sexual interaction" and "consent." The school's policy considers "brushing, touching, grabbing, pinching, patting, hugging and kissing" to be sexual interactions.

GETTYSBURG, Pa., May 11, 2006—Gettysburg College's Sexual Misconduct Policy is so broad in scope that it draws no distinction between an innocent, spontaneous hug and forcible rape. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is calling for the repeal of this draconian policy, which prohibits most, if not all, of the sexual and even merely affectionate relations that take place on Gettysburg's campus. "This policy can turn almost any student at Gettysburg into a criminal," stated FIRE President Greg Lukianoff. "In its quest to rid the college of a social evil, Gettysburg has decided to make everyone guilty, leaving […]» Read More

The Shakespeare Folio that recently sold from the Strands rare book collection.
Bargain bookstore sells $100,000 book
By Rachel Fershleiser
Most New Yorkers know the Strand Bookstore as a place to browse for bargains, roll their eyes at rude employees, and pick up a paperback for a dollar on a cart outside. But on January 28th, one anonymous industrial figure plopped down a more significant sum for a book $100,000 to be exact.
The William Shakespeare Second Folio he purchased was published in 1632 and had been in the Strands rare book collection for over twenty-five years.
For store owner Nancy Bass, the sale was bittersweet. Its hard to let go of a book that was part of our store for such a very long time and something that is truly a rarity created by a literary master, she said. At the same time Im comforted that in an age of technology, celebrity and instant gratification
something so important is still appreciated, is still considered desirable.
That desirable book was kept in the rare book rooms heavy gold safe along with other treasures like a first edition of Margaret Mitchells Gone With the Wind, a slender Walt Disney volume marked with the familiar yellow discount sticker: STRAND PRICE $1200.00, and an unusual copy of Ulysses signed by both James Joyce and Henri Matisse.
Theres a great story surrounding the copy of James Joyces Ulysses we have, says longtime employee and rare book specialist Vasilis Terpsopoulos. Joyce asked Matisse to illustrate his book Ulysses, and Matisse hadnt read it, so he decided to make the illustrations as they would be for Homers Ulysses! When Joyce realized what had happened, he refused to sign any more copies of the book. So ours is one of a very few signed by them both.
Even for more casual collectors and people without six figures lying around the Strands third floor rare book room deserves a look. Renovated in the stores recent overhaul, the space is surprisingly large and airy, the walls adorned with photographs of Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Built-in bookshelves hold mostly gold-embossed, leather-bound tomes, but modern art books and new classics are also on display. A signed edition of Bonfire of the Vanities, Endless Love, or Waiting to Exhale can be purchased for roughly the same price as an ordinary new hardcover book at Barnes & Noble.
And though the rare book collection carries everything from a six hundred-year-old religious text to the new David Foster Wallace, the specialists employed there seem indiscriminate in their bibliophilia. When asked what he thought was the most exciting thing in the safe, a manager would only say, I dont play favorites.
Strand Bookstore (www.strandbooks.com) is located at 828 Broadway and E. 12th St. The rare book room is open daily until 6:20 pm.

Can't get enough of these of cat-eyed sunnies I picked up from Shop Jeen showroom the other day. So what if I kind of look like I'm from space or get weird looks in the street? I like em. Check out Shop Jeen for more affordable and adorable sunnies along with some pretty sick jewelry/accessories. I'm off to Denver, Colorado tomorrow for the BarIII flea tour round 3 (yeah that rhymed). Come see me if you happen to live there.

I'm going on a trip next month with a buddy and we're thinking of hauling the bikes on a trailer part way.... (waits for the scorn from the members). I have never loaded a bike on a trailer before and need some advice on how to strap them down. My buddy's bike only has a side stand (it's a HD). I will be riding a R1200RT. I searched the site and only found one hit with the search term 'trailer', so it appears I have to subject myself to ridicule.
So, compress the forks & rear suspension? Sidestand or centerstand for my bike? How do I keep them from moving forward or backward? Any other things I should be aware of? Thanks for any help.

Kabul, Afghanistan: Across Afghanistan, voters turned out in droves Saturday to cast ballots in a crucial presidential election.
The Taliban threatened to target voters and polling places, but there were few instances of violence. Instead, those wanting to cast ballots joined long lines and expressed pride for security forces guarding the election and a willingness to stand up for their country.
"There was a time when we could not even think of risking our lives for one vote," said Abdul Baki, a 36-year-old government employee in Kandahar. "But now with this security so tight, I can clearly see the value of these votes and I hope that this election will be fair."
Women also turned out in large numbers.
"I voted so I can guarantee the future of my country," said 18-year-old Fatima Mortazayee in Kabul. "By voting, we can build our country."
The vote will decide who will replace President Hamid Karzai, who is barred constitutionally from seeking a third term. Partial results are expected as soon as Sunday.
Here's a gallery of Associated Press images of voting Saturday in Afghanistan.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 9, 2007) - The National Golf Coaches Association announced Monday its 2006-07 All-American Scholar Teams for Division I, and the ETSU women's golf team made an impressive showing on the squad.
In all, four ETSU golfers made the list of 368 total student-athletes, and the Buccaneers' overall team grade point average of 3.54 ranked among the nation's Top 25 squads. The criteria to earn selection to the team included a minimum GPA of 3.50, and student-athletes must have competed in at least 50 percent of their team's regularly scheduled rounds during the year.
Individually, rising sophomore Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia), rising junior Lucy Gould (Bargoed, Wales), and rising seniors Maria Ringdahl (Oland, Sweden) and Natalia Giraldo (Cali, Colombia) made the All-American team.
"I am extremely proud of the team for once again averaging above a 3.5 cumulative GPA this year," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Reynolds. "To have four of six team members selected to the All-Scholar team is quite an accomplishment. They should be very proud of each other for this achievement individually and as a team."

Copy your mounted SFS to a new directory. Open the new directory, which contains root, and launch. The "invalid directory" notice means that you're opening a directory that doesn't contain the desired root directory.

The only thing I see different, is that you added an instance of $dir$line in place of $line. If you open to the correct directory, that shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, exactly.
Tough the difference is enormous, because only that way you can mount every iso you want, then mount the sfs inside the mounted iso and get every installed or build in application you want to.
No need to run the puppy where you want to get out the application/s.
No need to extract the mounted sfs.
Only adding "$dir" does give success, try it out - i did it several times.

Post subject: Please Improve
Subject description: I do not publish nonsense and do not want to "steal" your app.
To make sure, you do not run into a not-seen-error.
Do use a iso containing at least one application that doesn't exist in your running puppy. Otherwise you will surely enter the right path but grabbing the wanted application inside your running puppy.
Do it, please. All users of 6.1 (or maybe 7.0) will be that much grateful for that - i am sure!
Greetings, Rainer

$dir is just the directory name selected in the gui entry box. You're already in that directory, so there's no need to copy with $dir$files. You can't copy files from an SFS that hasn't been mounted.
Oh...I see the bug. /tmp/list has the "/" included.

Ardour grabbed out of puppy studio. Installed and running in my LazY Puppy without rebooting my LazY Puppy. Just mount puppy studio iso, mount sfs and get ardour!
This is really cool!
You did post while i am writing this here. Please do understand: there is no need to improve my modification in any way.
But please do notice: i did try it again and again and again. The result is what i did publish and to me only this works.
In file example-app.files are paths like: /usr/share/example-app/x-bin
Relative root is: /mnt/sdc3/example.sfs
To get the application you have to grab /mnt/sdc3/example.sfs/usr/share/example-app/x-bin
Otherwise it doesn't work, even if "You're already in that directory".

Yes, but the sfs file has always been mounted.

sorry to post this, but: improved again. Here some data...
reboot LazY Puppy, frugal, no save file
- install gnewpet-6.0
- mount puppy studio rebuild 11 and mount the sfs inside the iso
- path: /mnt/+mnt++mnt+sdb2+LinuxImages+cpup3+cpup3-bld11.iso+cpup_330.sfs
- grab bristol-GUI-1.0.1 (written by myself, not existing in LazY Puppy)
- file size of grabbed file = 204 bytes
contains only directory var and its content
(maybe created by gnewpet?)
- install gnewpet-7.0 (using my modifications)
- path: /mnt/+mnt++mnt+sdb2+LinuxImages+cpup3+cpup3-bld11.iso+cpup_330.sfs
- grab bristol-GUI-1.0.1 (written by myself, not existing in LazY Puppy)
- file size of grabbed file = 338 kb
contains everything and works after installing in LazY Puppy
What shall i say...

What does this mean?
Ok, before i will come to your post, let me make something clear.
After my last post i was convinced you will come to a point of view to realize that there's something to be changed/fixed in gnewpet-6.0. I was willing (right then, when you do upload the new version) to give my grateful thanks to you, for having an ear to my suggestions and ideas and for doing some work on these suggestions and ideas of mine. I do know different (strange) behavior coming from other forum members like sending pm to user to keep information away from me
Though you are sometimes a bit "lazy" you did get your "ass up" as you did see the usefulness of these my suggestions and ideas. Seems like you do need sometimes a second thought about things - but that's absolutely fine with me.
I was willing to remove the script (including my modifications) after you publish your fixed .pet because just to prevent users to destroy the fixed gnewpet by downloading and installing this script. There has been no need to invite me to do that with "NOT" and "REMOVE IT PROMPTLY"
You still remember where it has had its start? A topic of mine, asking a (now to me) simple question about shellscript - and then came

hi everyone,
i'm sorry where to put my question, i hope in this thread is ok.
i finished download aqualung with ppm, and it was installed on my laptop.
now, i look at /root/.package/aqualung-0.9b11-Lucid.files there are many rows representating the file i download.
it's like this:
actually, i can put them one by one. but if there are some script, it can be more fast and interesting.
how to repackage again in a pet or a folder with a script? so i don't need download that aqualung again.
So, the basic idea of all of this is "owned" by
Then after you posting a static 4-liner-code came

I dont believe that is a complete list, as the binaries etc are not listed..
Add them all before making a pet..
Anyone want to help with a script to read the final /* lines in any /root/.packages file, then copy the actual files to a dir...
I cant remember how to get cat to ignore things...
After this you did post your first script.
Then it goes back to my issue for some posts.
Then you did refine your script "...to read the original pet.specs and make the duplicate..."
Then i did develop my Package-Creator and RightClick-Package-Creator, that uses your script and gives the comfort of GUI and/or rightclick-action.
So the basic idea to use it with GUI is "owned" by myself.
8.5 hours after this you did develop your gnewpet 1.1 using GUI.
Then there were suggestions etc. by
Then i found the -P bug and did publish it...
RSH wrote:
Just change "cp -p "$line" /tmp/${NAME}${DIR}" to this: "cp -p -P "$line" /tmp/${NAME}${DIR}".
-P says "don't follow symbolic links". So symbolic links will be re-copied as symbolic links inside the .pet.
So gnewpet's full functionality is "owned" by me.
You did never really improve your work in detail!
Then you published fixed version 2.1
Then i did made suggestions that has had its result in batchmode of gnewpet-3.1.
So, the basic idea of batchmode functionality is "owned" by me.
New suggestions of mine did result in refining the GUI and publishing gnewpet-4.1
So, the basic idea of the new GUI is "owned" by me.
And so on...
Version 5.1 was the last one i have had seen as i discovered Version 5.9. Then i did made some suggestions that results in version 6.0 (after a second tought about things)
So the basic idea of "relative path" functionality is "owned" by me.
So lets assume murga-linux.com forum is our employer and we would get payed for this our work in here. This would mean every idea and every attached .pet and/or code would be owned by this our employer.
After this much suggestions and ideas (not only of myself) to call this one "my script" is a bit "highly used" - didn't you mean that as well.
I take gnewpet 6.0 (6.1) as a script (application), owned by many forum members and (much appreciated) nicely worked out by
. This is the status quo.
For today/tonight and in my special case there is something more to say:
Today/tonight i did work for hours and hours, to get your gnewpet-6.0 working and to get you convinced that there is a need to fix/change something. While i was coding, improving and posting results etc. did you execute small talk about things that should be the only one way but obviously had been the impossible other way.
I did neglected some of my main work on LazY Puppy meanwhile, because i do like the gnewpet (now fixed) that much, so i had decide to make this one a part of "my" LazY Puppy.
And then, after a full night without sleep, getting this one finally working and then fixed, came you and
RSH: You can report bugs, but you are NOT free to post new versions of my script. You can do whatever you like for your personal copy. REMOVE IT PROMPTLY.
How shall i take this from you? As a declaration of war (in a lower use)?
I would like to prefer something like this:
"RSH, would you please remove your posted script, to prevent users from downloading this script and probably destroying my new fixed version? Thank you."
This really would have been fine, but unfortunately...
As someone wrote:
"Different countries, different languages, different language-basements, different cultures etc." could result in much ugly misunderstandings.
Short story:
I was just
and you came along with
This is not a basement to get me to remove the script. I will edit the post to inform users not to download the script. That's all that i can do for you and "your" gnewpet" at this time. Sorry, maybe a second thought (by you) will do it?

Apps typically evolve from the input of the community...namely requests and bug notifications from testing. I just posted 6.0 today after you requested a version that would work with mounted files. That required some major revisions. You found a trivial bug associated with an overlooked path in a /tmp file (although you didn't know it). I'm sure there are others.
The fix you seem so enamored with pointed to the symptom, but not the problem. Willy nilly adding an unnecessary path variable may seem brilliant to you, but can break the script in other ways. Bragging about it being "perfect" and not needing "any other improvements" sounds to me like mental illness. The bug was trivial to begin with, in light of all the additional code required to respond to your request. Calling me a lazy ass again sounds like mental illness.
Your initial problem wasn't related to the trivial bug, it was related to your not understanding how to open the correct directory...which caused the "invalid directory" error. I put that in so people would know if they loaded the incorrect directory. See....I was thinking of you. That had noting to do with it copying files from /root instead of ./root.
The last developments of gnewpet were responses from pemasu to include builtins, and then smokey1 to allow updates for the builtins. I don't recall getting any responses from them about being a lazy ass.
Prior to that, I responded to your request for a checklist. That went through a number of revisions until I figured out a way to do it. I guess I owe the solution to your brilliance for requesting it.
I believe I posted your name somewhere giving credit for finding a link bug (needed a cp -P) and offering requests, which stimulated the initial coding. We're all indebted to you.
my work comes out of the ideas of other coders and testers. There's a difference between offering a request and writing a finished app, though.
You're the first member I've come come across on the forum that would see nothing wrong with posting a new version of someone elses' work without their consent. I've seen plenty of posts in a thread with something like an improved gui, but even those are done respectfully... never a new version posted somewhere else; and your sense of entitlement because of requests that you feel gives you ownership of the code? Enough....
Again, the app is posted by myself (yes....a lazy ass) for the puppy community, and I, not you, will maintain it. I rely on other community members testing it out and offering suggestions. I code simply because I enjoy it. I have absolutely no concerns if you use it or don't use it.

Welcome back
, I found this very useful, saves me constantly having to use the ppm while I'm working on test installs,
the only thing I found is if the app saves its setting to a file that was installed, it will have those settings,
I've only come across this once with a game I made into a pet, but that is a minor problem, keep up the good work.

Hey, I'm Coffee! I'm a sweet girl who's looking for someone to be my forever best friend. Even though I might be shy when we first meet, just spend a little time with me and you'll see my personality shine.
I have lots of energy and would love it if my new forever best friend would take me on long walks and maybe even teach me how to go running and hiking. I love to play tag, and I'm trying to figure out fetch but that silly ball just always gets away from me.
I love to sit next to you and be loved on and get lots of pets and belly rubs, but my favorite is when I get brushed. It makes me feel like such a pretty girl.
After I had my puppies, my old family realized they had more pets than they could properly care for. I'm so ready to find a new forever family that would never, ever leave me behind. Since I get a little nervous in new situations and around loud noises and fast movements, the staff here thinks I would do best in a home with children older than 12 and, since I used to have doggy brothers and sisters, they also think I would love to have more.
If you think you could be the forever best friend and new family I've been searching for, please fill out an application. I'll be here waiting.

Speckles is a handsome boy who is almost 1 year old. He was surrendered to the SHS, along with his brother, because his family could not keep him indoors and didn't think their neighborhood was safe for a wandering kitty. With his brother already adopted, Speckles is ready to get started on the rest of his life.
Speckles' first family described him as a gentleman who likes to be adored from afar. He does not like to be held and isn't afraid to voice his objection if you try. He is more of a loner who would probably prefer a safe outdoor home or an indoor/outdoor home.
While Speckles is not into heavy petting, he does know how to be a quiet buddy who can sit by your side (and butt his head into you for petting on his terms).
It will take Speckles some time to adjust to a new home. Expect him to spend a few days playing hard to get until he feels comfortable. His life has been a little upside down and he needs patience and understanding to succeed in his next and last home.
Adoption fee: $49
