squerril, that vid was completely uncalled for.
You sir, are an ass. I will commence with the push ups now.

I am a FORMER Wing Tsun,Tsjun,Tzun,Chun student.. I have studied everything that they have to offer and though there are some talented WC/VT/WT people out there, the majority out weigh the rest...
I have studied directly under Allan Fong, Emin Boztepe, Thommy Luke Bohelig, Leung Ting and the worst thing about all them was there EGO's.
Allan Fong is nothing to write home about, He teaches the forms and that is it, now he has incorporated Chi Sim Wing Chun and made Siu Nim Tau a TERRIBLE IDEA instead of a little one....
Emin Boztepe is RARE, there are not many people like him out there...
However if you like it train in it, If you want to be effective on the streets, CROSS TRAIN....
End of story, there is no ONE HOLY GRAIL to Martial Arts, What works for one will no work for the other and regardless you always have YOUR INTERPRETATION of the system.

There is alot of Wing Chun/Tsun/Tjun threads on here but this one is probably the best i've seen for pure bullshit value.
Its amazing the amount of people who come on here and think that 'these people have obviously not seen the REAL Wing Tsun'.
I trained in Wing Tsun (various lineages) for a good six years and although i enjoyed the training i pretty much feel like i wasted my time and i would have been better served to join a BJJ or MMA school.
In my opinion if sparring and real Alive training was introduced to every Wing Chun/Tsun school the number of students training would decrease tenfold overnight.
This is because people want to beleive there is an easy way to learn to fight, they dont want to be punched in the face and train to the point of exhaustion but it's the ONLY way.

"a lifetime to learn...."
I think I will open a driving school. Each day my students will practice driving in my studio. We will stay out of any vehicle because the streets are too deadly. We will practice the motion needed to turn left and turn right. I will show them the motion needed to accelerate and to brake. When they are ready, and pay me some extra money, I will show them subtle techniques like glancing in a rear view mirror, and turning on the turn signal. They will also get to use the wooden car, which will, of course, not move. I will tell many stories of how many miles I have driven. Finally, I will teach one student how to shift. This student will be the REAL driver.

With the development of collaboration technologies and the increasing performance of handheld devices, it became clear that there is a need for a service that makes available to use videoconferencing in an universal environment (laptops, mobile phones, etc.). We use the product of Vidyo, which offers the possibility to make calls inbound (among other Vidyo users), and outbound ("classic" videoconferencing network, MCU).
Using this service is easy, the software client is available for each bigger platforms (for desktop and mobile), only a webcam and a microphone is needed. Depending on the quality and speed of the network connection, the videoconference stream's bitrate is able to change adaptively, providing the best available video and audio quality.

LAS VEGAS Brendan Gaughan won't have any trouble finding a place to sleep during this weekend's UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway: His father owns several hotels in town or he could go home and sleep in his old bed.
Kurt Busch and Kyle Busch can also enjoy their old bedrooms and a little home cooking.
A town famous for not having clocks on the walls and $1.99 steak-and-egg specials has a new reputation for producing some of the new stars of NASCAR. Gaughan and the Busch brothers are returning home to the Nevada desert, a place where their careers started in the shadows of towering casinos.
"This proves there is talent all over the country," Gaughan said.
"The problem with the West Coast is that nobody ever notices it because there were no great racing teams on the West Coast for a long time. It took a long time to get Greg Biffle, Ron Hornaday and Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch out to this level, but there's great racing all over the country."
Gaughan had a successful stint on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, winning six races last year. And he did it with a team based in Las Vegas, not North Carolina. The emergence of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and other facilities in the west has sparked a new interest in the sport and opened new doors.
The Busch brothers started in miniature Legends cars and slowly worked their way up the racing ladder. Kurt, 25, worked as a city meter reader for the water department several years ago when he got his big break a tryout with Roush Racing.
Car owner Jack Roush held an audition for one of his truck racing teams a tryout now known as the "Gong Show" and Busch won it.
Kyle Busch, who turned 18 last May, had a much easier road to stardom. He was signed by car owner Rick Hendrick when he was 17. He raced a year on the American Speed Association circuit as well as ARCA before he was allowed to make selected appearances in NASCAR following his 18th birthday.
Young Busch is a full-time driver on the Busch Series, but he will make a rare Nextel Cup Series start with his brother in Sunday's main event.
"It will be fun," Kurt said of racing against his brother for the first time since they were in Legends cars. "Maybe we'll have a chance to run side-by-side for a little bit and get some pictures out of it. I think it would be nice to say we raced each other in his first race, but anything can happen."
The Las Vegas track already has a reputation for such drama. Jeff Burton won a rousing battle with his older brother Ward here in 1999.
"I didn't expect to be racing against Kurt so soon," Kyle Busch said. "But I'm excited to do it, especially at home. This is going to be a special weekend for me and my entire family."
Las Vegas is one of the popular stops on the Nextel Cup Series schedule. Many drivers will arrive a day or two early to enjoy what the city has to offer including $1.99 steak and eggs, but for Gaughan and the Busch brothers, it's something more meaningful. It's a place where they can prove to their West Coast friends they're every bit as good as their counterparts from the Southeast.
"Every time we come to Vegas, I like pressure, but there's a point where you over-analyze, you over-engineer and get too pumped up," Gaughan said. "We hurt ourselves a couple times (in the truck series). It's not a home race for the Penske/Jasper team. This is not where they are from. It's just where Shane Wilson (crew chief) and I are from.
"We're just going to go out there and know it's a racetrack we'd like to win at and know how to win it and just do it right."
Gaughan, whose father owns such Las Vegas landmarks as The Orleans and Barbary Coast, already knows how tough it is to return home for a race. He was bombarded by requests for free rooms.
"I had a bunch of rooms at one time, but it didn't take long to give them all away," Gaughan said. "Las Vegas is a popular place, I guess."
For Brendan Gaughan, Kurt Busch and Kyle Busch, it's also home.

Detail from the bedspread
This is the bedspread from John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Montreal 'Bed-In For Peace' in room 1742 of the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, Montreal in May 1969. It's made from blue felt decorated with appliqué, embroidery, and drawing featuring the text 'All You Need Is Love' and characters from the Yellow Submarine animated film.
The bedspread was made by Christine Kemp who designed it as a wall hanging for her studio a few weeks before the bed-in. Christine presented the piece to John and Yoko on the first day of the event in a spontaneous expression of friendship and solidarity.
Purchased for the Museum of Liverpool collection in 2005.

Hello Ladies,
So I have searched through what seems like 100's of monograms for our wedding and then I finally decided I have until July 28th 2012, why would I pay someone to make this for me when I have so much time to try and make a few myself. And let me tell you I just can't stop now! All day long it seems all I have been doing is making my own monograms different colors fronts shapes sizes pretty much trying out every possibility you can think of. Then when I was showing a fellow bride at work she asked me to make her monograms for her wedding and I have actually now started a listing for custom monograms on Etsy. So without further ado here are a few of my monograms...if you have any suggestions let me know!! Thanks!

Dirtbags allow three in ninth, fall to Pacific 5-3
Sophomore Ryan Strufing tied a career high with seven strikeouts on Saturday.
May 19, 2012
Long Beach, Calif. - Sophomore Ryan Strufing struck out a career-high tying seven Tigers on Saturday, but left after seven innings and Pacific scored three in the ninth inning to steal a 5-3 victory over Long Beach State.
Pacific's Josh Simms doubled in the first inning, coming around to score on a single by Riley Drongesen, and then a one-out triple by Daniel Johnston led to a second run as Pacific took a 2-0 lead.
Long Beach State came back to tie the game in the fourth inning. Brennan Metzger led off the inning with an infield single, and after Josh Guerra was hit by a pitch, a sacrifice moved both runners into scoring position for Kellen Hoime, who picked up a pair of RBI with a two-out single.
That score held until the ninth inning. Strufing finished the day with seven strikeouts over seven innings, allowing two earned runs. Jon Maciel worked a 1-2-3 eighth, but took the loss with issues in the ninth.
Trouble began for the Dirtbags in the ninth inning with a single by Simms, his fourth hit of the day. Long Beach State then made an error on a bunt, and a fielder's choice brought home the go-ahead run with no outs. After a sacrifice and an intentional walk to load the bases, a sacrifice fly and a single brought home two more runs to give Pacific a 5-2 lead.
Brennan Fulkerson hit a pinch-hit double and came around to score in the bottom of the ninth, but the lead was too great as the Dirtbags fell 5-3. Mike Hager got the win after pitching eight innings, while John Prato Matthews picked up the save for the Tigers.
Both teams return to Blair Field for the rubber game on Sunday, with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m.

Agreed. That's why I've been talking about transcoding, not encoding. No intermediate representation, just a de/mangling scheme (not even limited to iconv-like transcoding - rot13, upcasing, whatever, those latter are just less useful). I also think that the kernel should be as much agnostic about encodings as possible. A ffs filename is a stream of bytes without slashes and nuls, full stop. ffs probably should not care if it's utf-8 (originally called "file system safe utf" for a reason), latin-1, or koi8-r. When there's a file in the same ffs filesystem with a name in latin1 - ffs doesn't really interpret the sequence of bytes in any way. I still can access the file. Even if I use koi8-r locale and the file name is in cp1251, I still can do useful things with it (ls | iconv; or whatever). But currently I cannot do anything like this with a CD with Russian file names. I haven't tried this in a while, so I specifically checked this with my more or less -current laptop: $ ls /cdrom ?????? ???????????? ???? ?????? Yeah, that's like very useful... :( Specifying trascoding for ISO9660 to let the above ls produce something meaningful might seem to mean that one charset (target of the transcoding) will be "more equal" that another, but 1) we already can have the same situation in ffs E.g. I mount the CD, copy files to my ffs HOME (using my charset) For a hypothetical person that uses another charset on the same machine there's *no* practical difference between /cdrom/some-koi8-r-name and /home/uwe/some-koi8-r-name be one of them "native" stream of koi8-r and the other a result of transcoding during mount. 2) on most machines all the users use the same encoding anyway. If you administer a big machine with lots of users that use different languages - force them to use utf-8 as that one encoding :) My point is - providing transcoding option for ISO9660 mount doesn't worsen the charset situation in any way, as compared to what we have with ffs now. Thus I don't think that providing this transcoding service for ISO9660 should be presented as being dependent on finding a silver bullet that would solve the general problem of peacful coexistence of various encodings on one system.

De Laet - We Have The Quality
Ritchie De Laet has said that Leicester can rely on the quality within the squad to take all three points from promotion challengers Crystal Palace this weekend.
On the back of our victory over Bolton, De Laet told lcfc.com that he was confident that our quality would win out on the day and we would really get our season back on track.
'They've got good players and they've got good players otherwise they wouldn't be up there. But if we do our thing then our quality will come through. We've got players, Woody is scoring again now, Jeff has been banging in the goals recently and Lloydy on the side is rapid. We've got those types of players, so we've just got to look at those qualities and see what the game brings. It's going to be tough, so it's a test but one we're looking forward to. We just have to take the positives from Tuesday night into Saturday.'
De Laet says that obviously the Bolton game was a big boost for us and now we have to make sure we kick on further and secure that play off placing.

Discussion in 'Photography Beginners' Forum' started by Santa Gertrudis, Mar 1, 2010.
That bad?
I don't think it's bad. I looked at it a few times, did something else, came back and looked at it again. I didn't want to just blurt out an opinion without thinking about it.
I think the cars take away from the picture more than anything, and that's pretty much 100% out of your control. The black sky isn't a terrible thing, but it's a lot of blank space up top. Maybe a cloudy night with a bright moon.. maybe even photoshop in a sky.
Obviously you could get higher quality with a tripod, lower iso and longer exposure (or even put the camera on top of a car or something).
The composition is good (all that rule of thirds jazz) and the area looks very old-west and interesting to me. Just a shame about those cars, they take away from that vibe.
But I'm also very new to this, so take my crits for what they're worth, not much.
exactley why i diddent any good shots of "The Dam Store" this weekend
Thanks! Yeah, a tripod would have made life much easier on that shot. Also, at the time I wasn't messing too much with long exposures or anything. I had pretty much just gotten into the hobby.
I would try my hand at making the sky look better, but I can't do much in PS yet.

Obese vs lean humans show greater gustatory/oral somatosensory and reward region responsivity to palatable food images/cues and this predicts future weight gain (Yokum et al., in press;Prelim Studies;Stice et al., 2008a,d, 2010b;Stoeckel et al., 2008), in line with reward surfeit and incentive sensitization models of obesity (Berridge, 2009;Davis et al., 2004). Yet, obese vs lean humans have fewer dopamine (DA) receptors in striatal reward regions, show reduced striatal response to palatable food intake, and low striatal response predicts future weight gain in those at genetic risk for reduced DA signaling (Felsted et al., 2010;Stice et al., 2008a,d;Wang et al., 2001;Volkow et al., 2008), in line with the reward deficit model of obesity (Wang et al., 2002b). One explanation for the mixed findings is that some of these findings reflect initial risk factors and others result from overeating. Firing of DA neurons in reward regions shifts from food intake to cues that predict food intake after conditioning (Kiyatkin et al., 1994;Schultz et al., 1993) and overeating leads to reduced D2 receptor density, D2 sensitivity, and reward sensitivity in rats (Alsio et al., 2010;Kelley et al. 2003;Johnson &Kenny, 2010) and striatal response to food in humans (Stice et al., 2010a), implying that overeating leads to increased incentive sensitization and down-regulation of reward regions. Further, reduced inhibitory region response to food images/cues predicts future overeating and weight gain (Cornier et al., 2010;Prelim Studies). Data imply that youth at risk for obesity initially show greater responsivity of regions that encode the reward value of food cues, coupled with greater responsivity of gustatory/oral somatosensory regions that encode the sugar and fat content of foods, and with reduced inhibitory region responsivity, which lead to overeating/weight gain that produces blunted striatal DA signaling, increased responsivity of reward valuation regions to food cues, and reduced inhibitory activation in response to food stimuli, increasing risk for further overeating/weight gain. We propose to conduct a rigorous test of this dynamic-vulnerability model using a novel repeated measures fMRI design in which teens complete scans annually over 4 years.
Aim 1 : test whether elevated gustatory/oral somatosensory and reward region responsivity and reduced inhibitory region responsivity to palatable food images, cues, and intake of food varying in sugar/fat content, and behavioral inhibitory control deficits/immediate reward bias predict initial increases in % body fat in 130 lean teens.
Aim 2 : use growth curve models to test whether initial increases in % body fat and energy dense food intake predict future decreases in striatal response to palatable food receipt, increases in reward circuitry response to palatable food images/ cues, decreased inhibitory region response to food images/cues, and increased behavioral inhibitory control deficits/immediate reward bias.
Aim 3 : test whether decreased striatal response to palatable food, increased reward region response to food images/cues, reduced inhibitory region response to food images/cues, behavioral inhibitory control deficits/immediate reward bias predict further escalation in % body fat.
The proposed project addresses a significant public health problem because obesity results in over 111,000 deaths in the US and over $150 billion in health care expenses annually. As the first repeated-measures brain imaging study to test the dynamic vulnerability model of the emergence and escalation of overeating, this project should markedly advance our understanding of the pathophysiology and neural plasticity that appears to give rise to obesity. Findings should lead to more effective clinical practice, as results may suggest that interventions that reduce hyper-responsivity of gustatory/oral somatosensory regions to food intake, increase inhibitory region response to food images/cues, or minimize initial intake of particularly calorically dense foods may effectively prevent obesity, and that interventions that correct striatal hypo-responsivity to food, reward circuitry hyper-responsivity o food cues, and inhibitory control deficits may effectively treat obesity.

Characteristics of the Ekman Layer Flow over a Rough Bottom
Na, Jung-Yul ; Kim, Tae-Yeon ;
The Sea, volume 3, issue 2, 1998, Pages 53~58
Ekman layer equation with rough-bottom boundary condition has been solved to determine the effect of roughness on the magnitude of Ekman veering. The bottom boundary condition and the flow field were expanded in a power of roughness (h) which is always smaller than the Ekman layer thickness (
). By changing the magnitude of roughness parameter (h/
), the magnitude of the veering, which rotates counterclockwise from the interior geostrophic flow, has been computed. At a fixed depth within the Ekman layer, the magnitude of veering increases as the roughness parameter increases. However, the cross-isobar flux turns out to decrease with increasing roughness. To verify the analytic solution, laboratory experiments were carried out. Rough-bottom cylinderical container filled with homogeneous fluid was sit on a rotating table. The flow pattern during the period of steady spin-up shows that the degree of veering coincides well with the analytic results for various roughness parameters.
Transport Paths of Surface Sediment on the Tidal Flat of Garolim Bay, West Coast of Korea
Shin, Dong-Hyeok ; Yi, Hi-Il ; Han, Sang-Joon ; Oh, Jae-Kyung ; Kwon, Su-Jae ;
The Sea, volume 3, issue 2, 1998, Pages 59~70
Two-dimensional trend-vector model of sediment transport is first tested in the tidal flat of Garolim Bay, mid-western coast of the Korean Peninsula. Three major parameters of surface sediment, i.e., mean grain size, sorting and skewness, are used for defining the best-fitting transport trend-vector on the sand ridge and muddy sand flat. These trend vectors are compared with the real transport directions determined from morphology, field observation and bedforms. The 15 possible cases of trend vectors are calculated from total sediments. In order to find the role of coarse sediments, trend vectors from sediments coarser than < 4.5
, (sand size) are separately calculated from those of total sediments. As compared with the real directions, the best-fitting transport-vector model is the "case M" of coarse sediments which is the combined trend vectors of two cases: (1) finer, better sorted and more negatively skewed and (2) coarser, better sorted and more positively skewed. This indicates sand-size grains are formed by simpler hydrodynamic processes than total sediments. Transported sediment grains are better sorted than the source sediment grains. This indicates that consistent hydrodynamic energy can make sediment grains better sorted, regardless of complicated mechanisms of sediment transport. Consequently, both transported vector model and real transported direction show that the source of sediments are located outside of bay (offshore Yellow Sea) and in the baymouth. These source sediments are transported through the East Main Tidal Channel adjacent the baymouth. Some are transported from the subtidal zone to the upper tidal flat, but others are transported farther to the south, reaching the south tidal channel in the study area. Also, coarse sediment grains on the sand ridge are originally from the baymouth, and transported through the subtidal zone to the south tidal channel. These coarse sediments are moved to the northeast, but could not pass the small north tidal channel. It is interpreted that the great amount of coarse sediments is returned back to the outside of the bay (Yellow Sea) again through the baymouth during the ebb tide. The distribution of muddy sand in the northeastern part of study area may result from the mixing of two sediment transport mechanisms, i.e., suspension and bedload processes. The landward movement of sand ridge and the formation of the north tidal channel are formed either by the supply of coarse sediments originating from the baymouth and outside of the bay (subaqueous sand ridges including Jang-An-Tae) or by the recent relative sea-level rise.
Studies on the Fish Larvae Community in the Sea Around Cheju Island in November, 1986
Yoo, Jae-Myung ; Kim, Sung ; Lee, Eun-Kyung ; Kim, Yong-Uk ;
The Sea, volume 3, issue 2, 1998, Pages 71~79
Fish larvae and environmental variables were collected in the sea around Cheju Island of Korea in November, 1986. Fish larvae were found at the 43 of 44 stations. Abundance of fish larvae rangεd from 3 to 259 indiv./
(average 50 indiv./
) Dominant species were Engraulis japonicus, Champsodon snyderi, Gobiidae, Sebastiscus marmoratus, and Synagrops philippinensis, which comprised 56.6% of total fish larvae abundance. 43 stations were c1assified into two groups by c1uster analysis based on the abundance of fish taxa. Most stations of Group I were located in the middle reach of Tsushima Current and had higher number of species and abundance than the sites of Group II which cover the marginal areas of Tsushima Current, Korean Coastal Waters, and coastal water of China. The dominant taxa in the sites of the Group I were E. japonicus, Gobiidae, S. philippinensis, Aulops japonicus, Bregmaceros spp., Benthosema pterotum, Lampanctus spp., etc., all of which are typical warm-water species. Therefore, Tsushima Current seems to be the most critical factor regulating the structure of fish larvae community in the study area. The discriminant analysis using the environmenta1 variables (temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen) produced result with a difference only of 11.6% from that of c1uster analysis using the taxa composition and abundance data. Consequently, the structural type of fish larvae community can be used for predicting the changes of environmental conditions in the study area.
The Seasonal Variation of Primary Productivity in the Antarctic Coastal Ecosystems
Kim, Hae-Cheol ; Yang, Sung-Ryull ; Pae, Se-Jin ; Shim, Jae-Hyung ;
The Sea, volume 3, issue 2, 1998, Pages 80~89
To understand the temporal variation of phytoplankton community in the Antarctic coastal ecosystem, physicochemical parameters, chlorophyll a, and primary productivity were measured as a component of the 7th KARP (Korea Antarctic Research Program) in 1994. Data were collected every month between February and December except four months (June-September) when the study area was frozen. Chlorophyll a concentrations ranged from negligible to 3.03
, averaging 0.63
. The primary productivity ranged 0.53-18.95 mg C/
, and the depth-integrated primary productivity ranged 41.28-560.20 mg C/
. A positive relationship was observed between the phytoplankton biomass and irradiance (
=0.29, p < 0.01). The degree of correlation between the primary productivity and irradiance (
=0.85, p < 0.001) was significantly higher than that between the phytoplankton biomass and irradiance. However, neither temperature nor inorganic nutrients seem to affect the temporal variation of primary productivity.
Molecular Phylogeny of Phytoplakton Isolated from Red Tides in Southern Coast of Korea
Lee, Soo-Woong ; Lee, Hee-Woo ; Park, Jong-Gyu ; Lee, Jin-Ae ; Park, Young-Shik ;
The Sea, volume 3, issue 2, 1998, Pages 90~93
Cultured isolates of Prorocentrum minimum, P. micans, P. triestinum, P. balticum, Gymnodinium sanguineum, Alexandrium catenella, Scrippsiella trochoidea, and Heterosigma akashiwo from red tides in southern coast of Korea were phylogenetically compared on the basis of their 24S rRNA genes. For each isolate approximately 700 bp of 24S rDNA, encompassing D1 and D2 hypervariable domains, was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and sequenced. The sequences were aligned with those reported in Genbank by using ClustalW program and phylogenetic tree was generated to show that morphospecies designations in the Alexandrium and Prorocentrum species are congruent with terminal taxa defined by phylogenetic analysis of the 24S rRNA fragment. Our results suggest that the molecular phylogeny approach could facilitate identification of domestic dinoflagellates which have ambiguous morphologies.
Molluscan Death Assemblages and Their Ecological Implications on a Tidal Flat, Inchon, Korea
Hong, Jae-Sang ; Park, Heung-Sik ;
The Sea, volume 3, issue 2, 1998, Pages 94~102
Temporal changes, density, calcimass, mode of occurrence, size-frequency histogram and survivorship curves were studied for the molluscan death assemblages on a macrotidal flat, Inchon, Korea. The living and death assemblages were compared on the basis of the taxonomic compositions and their numerical abundances. A total of 28 species (16 taxa in gastropods and 12 in bivalves) were identified. Most of the dead shells were the species inhabiting that intertidal mud flat. Species diversity was higher in gastropods than in bivalves. Seasonal variation of the calcimass was influenced by the mactrid bivalve, Mactra veneriformis. Shell-boring naticid gastropods preferred selecting the umbo areas of various valves. Size-frequency distribution and size-specific survivorship curves were analyzed for the dominant species. Survivorship curve of the tellinid bivalve, Morella rutila was convex-up in shape, which is congruent with the expected equilibrium condition but indicates higher mortality in winter. Whereas the survivorship curves of Mactra veneriformis and Reticunassa festiva were semi convex-up with dual modes, suggesting a disequilibrium due to the changes in recruitment and seasonal mortality. This study suggests that the dead shell assemblages may be useful in getting population information like live molluscan assemblages, if solved for several problems related to taphonomic processes.

There are plenty of actors who fudged by passing on roles that could have either been their breakthrough role, or at least one that would've paid their bills for the next decade.
Need examples? Sean Connery passed up on playing "Gandalf" in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Will Smith could have been "Neo" in The Matrix series. And the most personally shocking reveal was my beloved Buffy star, Sarah Michelle Gellar, could've played the worldwide icon Cher Horowitz in Clueless. But, alas, she turned that down too.
Meet Avril Lavigne. She turned down using a song she had helped write, because it didn't suit her sound for the album. Meet the glorious Kelly Clarkson, who could cite "Breakaway" as the song that helped catapult her onto an undefeated ranking.
Though this recording of Lavigne singing her own song has been around for a while, it recently emerged for fans to take a listen. It's a side that's uncomfortably vulnerable, and almost so amateur that it's beautiful.
Lavigne was a punk-rock chick who had moments of down time to sing "ballads" like "When You're Gone" and "Keep Holding On" and the more recent "Let Me Go," but not one of those songs grabs at her innocence like her rendition of "Breakaway."
It's my opinion that Kelly Clarkson made this a hit, and Lavigne's version wouldn't have been a fraction as successful, but Lavigne's is delicate with a pre-pubescent glow whereas Clarkson's was fiery and empowering.
The first few stanzas may have you scoffing at the idea I would make such complimentary remarks, because it does sound amateur at times. But when you do remember Lavigne isn't all that amateur as a vocalist, your skepticism is replaced by appreciation for her vulnerability.
So, the question is, readers, do you think she was a moron for not putting this on her album?

The competition for the Oklahoma City Council Ward 4 seat is generating the most attention and it could be an interesting race after four people filed papers and all have the potential to be factors when voters head to the polls Feb. 14. If no one garners more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two finishers advance to an April runoff.
Ward 4 candidates are Richard Morrissette, Todd Stone, Walter Kula and Doris Mangiaracina Benbrook. Current Ward 4 councilman Pete White is retiring. The Ward spans southeast Oklahoma City, east of Moore and south of Midwest City.
Walter Kula
Kula has served on Oklahoma City's Traffic and Transportation Commission for the past eight years. His role, as he sees it, is to listen to the people, hear from city staff, discuss among other commissioners and make the best decision. Such experience, along with a career in the U.S. Air Force, is what Kula brings to the Ward 4 race.
"We need to listen to the people, behold their issues and do what's right for Ward 4 and the rest of the city," Kula said.
If elected, Kula wants the people of Ward 4 to come to him with any issues. He referenced working to resolve a missing streetlight on Choctaw Road. During a widening project, the streetlight was removed, and had not been replaced months later. After a constituent contacted him, Kula learned no work request was placed replace the light. Following a few phone calls, it was replaced, he said.
"You would call me," Kula said. "I would get a hold of the right person."
Like other Ward 4 candidates, Kula noted the public desire for more emphasis on public safety when it comes to crime. Recently, Kula attended Oklahoma City Police Department's town hall meeting at U.S. Grant High School, where Hispanic community members shared their fears of deportation under President Donald Trump's administration.
"The city needs to be their friend," Kula said. "Hispanic residents of the ward feel that they can't call the police when a crime is occurring. As residents of the area, Oklahoma City police will work the issue."
In the rural areas, Kula supports efforts to improve roads, public safety and the overall quality of life.
"We want city government to provide us all that we need, good roads, fire, police and EMTs," Kula said. "We want it done good and done right. We need a law enforcement presents out here. We need proper fire response times. We need EMT drivers and technicians that are really good. That's what we care about in this area."
Doris Mangiaracina Benbrook
As a candidate for the Ward 4 seat, Mangiaracina Benbrook meets with neighborhood and community leaders through out the southwestern quadrant of Oklahoma City over the past month. In the ward's urban areas, constituents share about safety concerns and long response times from police. Similarly, in the rural areas, constituents discuss a lack of police presents.
"I attended [the] Coffee with a Cop and I asked, 'Do you have enough resources to cover the area?'" Mangiaracina Benbrook said. "Through resources and grants, we gained officers, but the help is only temporary."
Mangiaracina Benbrook wants Ward 4 adequately staffed, and she knows that requires funding. As Oklahoma City lags in sales tax, which is the primary source of revenue for the city's general fund, she would like to see the city continue to direct its efforts to spur economic development.
"We need to bring more taxable businesses within the city limits," said Mangiaracina Benbrook, who serves as a professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. "Most of the people who work at the health sciences center live in Edmond or Moore. They spend all their money in the suburbs rather than the city. If we had convenient grocery stores around areas of high employment, people could stop and shop."
An increase in sales tax collection would benefit the city's general fund. As a council member, Mangiaracina Benbrook would advocate for plugging the new funding into projects to build a stronger Oklahoma City and further attract more people to move into the city limits. She supports the city's general obligation (GO) bonds program, which is expected to go to a public vote this year.
"In the long run, I believe this is one of the best ways to develop our infrastructure," Mangiaracina Benbrook said. "The interest rates on the bonds is very low. … It is an instrument and any instrument can be used wisely or poorly. I think GO bonds can be used wisely to improve city infrastructure and I am supportive."
In Ward 4, she would like to see GO bonds fund street improvements, sidewalks, bus stop shelters and drainage projects. She advocates for rural areas of Ward 4 to benefit from GO bond projects. Often, rural residents are asked to foot the bill on road and draining projects.
"It can be harder to justify spending money in an area that will impact fewer people, but I think those issues need to be looked at seriously," she said.
Richard Morrissette
After serving 12 years as a state house representative, Morrissette seeks the Ward 4 council seat. Morrissette lists his campaign issues as economic growth, public safety and infrastructure, government efficiency, education, quality of live and vision for the future on his campaign website.
Morrissette did not reply to Oklahoma Gazette's interview requests by press time.
Todd Stone
As a homebuilder, Stone developed an appreciation for neighborhoods early on. Now, as a council candidate, Stone believes the city must strive to have strong neighborhoods with smart investments into those communities.
"For me, a safe neighborhood is a good neighborhood and it helps build stronger families," Stone said. "If you are afraid to send your kids out the front door to play, it's hard to have a robust neighborhood. I would like to see police and fire staffing get where it needs to be."
If elected, Stone would work to increase staffing for both police and fire departments. On the campaign trail, he hears constituent concerns about response times and the overall safety of their areas.
He believes strong local schools are the foundation for sustaining neighborhoods. While the council is limited in its influence to public education, Stone wants to develop ways for city government to help education.
"We talk a lot about infrastructure needs and investing in infrastructure," Stone said. "When you drive by a school, you see there is a lack of sidewalks."
He is a fiscal conservative that believes in developing long-term plans to fund the city's large expenses and supports efforts to reexamine city policy for collecting revenues. With long-term planning, Stone believes the city could become less reliant on general obligation bonds for funding infrastructure and renovation projects. Specific projects could be funded through city revenue and completed in a shorter timeframe.
The new Ward 4 councilmember will oversee the completion of MAPS 3 projects and participate in the development of another MAPS program, which is a multiyear, municipal capital improvement project funded by sales tax revenue.
"I think MAPS has been great for the city," Stone said. "Growing up in Oklahoma City in the 1970s, I remember how desolate downtown Oklahoma City was. If you look at the progress we've made it is simply amazing. … What I think is very important is … ensuring those MAPS 3 projects that are already underway are completed on time, on budget and with quality."

13. Staples Center
> Teams: LA Clippers, LA Kings, LA Lakers
> Naming rights cost: $116 million
> Deal term: 20 years
> Starting date: 1999
The Staples Center, built in 1999, is one of the few arenas in the country to house three separate major sports teams under one roof. The NBA's Lakers and Clippers, and the NHL's Kings play there, but because of the basketball players dispute, the NHL team had the top billing to itself. In December, however, when the shortened basketball season will begin, the NBA teams finally will join the Kings. In the past 10 years, attendance for all three teams has increased. The stadium also houses an WNBA team, the Los Angeles Sparks. With more than 2,500 sports and entertainment events in its first 10 years of operations, the stadium had more than 38 million visitors. In 2009, Staples extended the rights deal indefinitely. The terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed.

12. TD Garden
> Teams: Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics
> Naming rights cost: $120 million
> Deal term: 20 years
> Starting date: 2005
The building that is now called TD Garden opened in 1995. It is home to two very successful sports franchises with a great deal of history, the Boston Celtics and the Boston Bruins. The Celtics have won more NBA championships than any other team in the league, and the Bruins have the record for the second-most Stanley cups won by an American team. Each team has among the best records in their league over the past decade. TD Bank — the U.S. arm of Toronto-based Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD), which serves the New England area and is based in Portland, Maine — bought the naming rights in 2005. The building was called TD Banknorth Garden until the company merged with Commerce bank in 2008. According to the Garden's website, the complex serves more than 3.5 million people each year.
11. Lucas Oil Stadium
> Team: Indianapolis Colts
> Naming rights cost: $122 million
> Deal term: 20 years
> Starting date: 2008
California-based Lucas Oil Products purchased naming rights in 2008 to the new home of the Indianapolis Colts. The company, which was founded in Indiana, states on its website: "Although the company moved to Corona, California, in 1986, Lucas Oil Products continues to operate a plant in Corydon, Indiana. Forrest Lucas declares that he 'will always be proud to be a Hoosier.'" The Colts have been one of the most successful franchises in recent years, but after losing star quarterback Peyton Manning before the season opener, the team has yet to win a game this season. The stadium will host the upcoming Super Bowl in February, 2012.
10. Lincoln Financial Field
> Team: Philadelphia Eagles
> Naming rights cost: $139 million
> Deal term: 21 years
> Starting date: 2002
Lincoln Financial, a financial services organization based in the Philadelphia region, bought the naming rights to a new stadium in 2002 for a $139 million, 21-year deal. The field is home to the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. While the Eagles have not won a Super Bowl since moving into their new stadium, they have had the fourth-best record in the NFL over the past 10 seasons. Since moving to the new stadium, attendance at Eagles games has steadily increased.

9. Bank of America Stadium
> Team: Carolina Panthers
> Naming rights cost: $140 million
> Deal term: 20 years
> Starting date: 2004
Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), the second-largest financial institution in the country, is based in Charlotte, N.C., which is also home to the the Carolina Panthers. Naming rights to the Panthers' stadium were originally owned by Swedish telecommunication company, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC). In 2004, Bank of America purchased sponsorship of the stadium in a 20-year, $140 million deal. The Panthers have had limited success of late, with the 12th-worst record in the NFL between 2001 and 2010. Attendance at the stadium has increased slightly over that time.
8. University of Phoenix Stadium
> Team: Arizona Cardinals
> Naming rights cost: $154.5 million
> Deal term: 20 years
> Starting date: 2006
The University of Phoenix is one of the largest for-profit public education institutes in the country. The stadium bearing the university's name was completed in Glendale, Ariz. — a city on the outskirts of Phoenix — in 2006. Naming rights were acquired at that time for $154.5 million over a 20-year period. While the University is based in Phoenix, the company has campuses all over the country, and the actual educational experience mostly occurs online. Since the stadium opened, attendance has increased substantially, partially due to greater seating capacity. While the Cardinals made it to the Super Bowl in 2009 as a dark horse candidate, they have otherwise had mixed success since moving to the new stadium.
7. Philips Arena
> Team: Atlanta Hawks
> Naming rights cost: $182 million
> Deal term: 20 years
> Starting date: 1999
Until last year, the Philips Arena held two major sports franchises, the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA, and the Atlanta Thrashers of the NHL. Before the 2011 season began, flagging ticket sales and regular financial losses led the Thrashers to leave the city back to Winnipeg, where they are known as the Jets. This has been a major blow to Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG). The Dutch company is contractually obligated to continue the $182 million sponsorship deal until 2019. The remaining team, the Hawks, has a below-average record in the NBA, and as long the NBA dispute has not been resolved, there has not been a major sporting event in the stadium since the end of the last season. The Hawks are likely to begin playing again in late December or early January.

Women are terrible but I found her and she's a gem(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3858953&forum_id=2#35151693)
You've had shitty experiences with women so you project on everyone around you to feel better about it(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3858953&forum_id=2#35151710)
this is highly improbable, mathematically speaking. not saying she's lying, just note that
> dotes over me and makes me actually feel like a man.
i dont remember ur prior girl stories that well, but isnt that how girls pull u in initially? is there anything abt the relationship so far that u dont like? how long have u known her?(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3858953&forum_id=2#35151733)
Yeah these gfs often took on a motherly doting role, but in a fundamentally different way than current gf dotes. She defers to me in a supportive role, talks about keeping me fed when I'm working long days etc, unlike an ex who would be in more of a dictatorial role since I didn't really have my life together (but now I do). Support role vs dictator in sum I guess
Been dating this girl for just 3 months now, but sometimes you just know. That I'd spend the rest of my life with her dawned on me when I went to visit her at her parents house a few days before Christmas (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3858953&forum_id=2#35151745)
is she appreciably more attractive than you, by your estimation?(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3858953&forum_id=2#35151788)

I think Winovich's do is an obvious attempt to lock up the "Iceman" nickname at an early stage. He doesn't like you because you're dangerous.
Tuesday Recruitin' Is Working For The Weekend
They come in pairs
Crawford (bottom) and Kinnel
Two 2015 Ohio defensive backs have proclaimed Michigan their outright leader, and both have given Michigan fans a reason to believe they'll pop in the near future. In OH CB Shaun Crawford's case, that's because he's announcing on Friday at 4 PM on ESPN.com. He told Rivals's Mark Givler that "I don't really have a group of finalists, it's mainly just that one school for me," actually moved Miami down his list after visiting, and hasn't been offered by other potential favorite Notre Dame. This one is not heavy on suspense.
Crawford is a leetle guy at 5'8" to 5'10", depending on who you believe, but he brings 170+ pounds to the table already—the same as Michigan's 6'2" freshman corners—and impressed Givler with his toughness:
Shaun Crawford is as good in run support as any corner I've seen come out of Ohio the last few years.
Commence the Antoine Winfield comparisons that will never, ever stop.
That is a highly reassuring thing to hear about Crawford, since no one doubts his athleticism or skill—it's all on the size, or lack thereof. Crawford's actually playing safety for his team so that he'll have more impact on the game this fall, FWIW.
The other guy, OH S Tyree Kinnel, has not been as explicit as Crawford but according to Brandon has set a visit for Saturday. Kinnel was clamoring for a Michigan offer, extremely disappointed when one didn't come after camp, and now has one. A commit watch is definitely on. While Kinnel was momentarily inclined to open things up given the lack of proverbial love, Hoke and company have a knack for closing the deal, like they did with George Campbell.
Kinnel is a four-star to 247 and Scout but has not been rated by ESPN yet. Those four star rankings in the range where Kinnel would be on the tail end of top X lists or just outside; he's a solid 3.5 star guy by our reckoning. The major drawback is that he seems to be a CB/S tweener, which Michigan doesn't care about at all. Nickelback, maybe?
[After the jump: Jabrilladiculous]
Jabrill Peppers is still ridiculous
Paramus Catholic scrimmaged over the weekend; NJ CB commit Jabrill Peppers acquired one decleater…
…and one sick spin move touchdown…
…to add to his list of jaw-dropping highlight reel plays. Jabrill Peppers, like George Campbell, is committed to Michigan.
Thank you, sir.
Hair is important to our interests
Also in important Jabrill Peppers news that the United Nations will undoubtedly pass a resolution in support of:
Snipes recognize Snipes
Everyone is doing their best Simon Phoenix impression, and I approve.
BONUS: I don't remember PA LB Chase Winovich's hair being quite so… blonde.
Don't look at that thing directly, use a pinhole camera. I probably should have told you that before the picture.
Hair. It's important business around here.
[ACTUAL FACT LIKE THINGS ON WINOVICH FROM ARTICLE: says he's 6'3, 216, which would make him the smallest Michigan linebacker in the last two classes other than Wangler so of course he's projected to SAM. He's also playing quarterback for his high school team this fall to go along with his LB duties.]
Rerankings abound, but are boring
Both Rivals and Scout released new top X lists to mark the end of the summer camp season. It was mostly the usual slow degradation of rankings that happens when your evaluation doesn't change and other guys appear from nowhere and pass you.
There were some other events, though. On the Scout side of things, camp "sleeper" Freddy Canteen picked up a fourth star and moved into the 300 at #280. He no longer qualifies as a potential sleeper of the year even with our new relaxed standard of at most one four-star ranking.
Other moves:
- #5 Jabrill Peppers: up two spots.
- #10 Da'Shawn Hand: down eight.
- #33 Drake Harris: down five spots.
- #38 Malik McDowell: down five spots.
- #91 Bryan Mone: up three spots
- #107 Lawrence Marshall: down four
- #173 Michael Ferns: down 27
- #253 Mason Cole: down two
- #266 Chase Winovich: down 36
Ferns had a couple of camp outings in which he did not show as much mobility as folks wanted, IIRC. No idea what the Winovich deal is since they haven't said anything about him after they bumped him into the 300 after the Michigan-OSU battle there resolved itself. I don't think he went to any camps.
Hand's drop was one it was easy to see coming after most analysts at the Opening said he was very good but only that. In the context of potentially generational talents like Fournette and Peppers he did not quite match that.
Rivals also released new rankings, which Ace analyzed a bit yesterday after the Rivals twitter account said something entirely different than what they wanted to say. They were not at the Opening, supposedly because someone's ticked off about Rivals's new exclusive camp series. It shows right at the top:
- #1 Da'Shawn Hand: unchanged
- #2 Jabrill Peppers: unchanged
- #40 Malik McDowell: down from something
- #62 Drake Harris: also down
- #122 Mason Cole: down
- #180 Bryan Mone: up one
- #189 Michael Ferns: down 61
And so forth and so on. Their articles on the 100 and 250 getting updated have exactly one mention of Michigan, that a passing reference to Jabrill Peppers being a Michigan commit. That's because Michigan commits generally ain't GAF about camps: Cole, Mone, Harris, and Peppers showed up to one or two things between them.
Where Wangler goes
New commit Jared Wangler is moving from safety to linebacker this year at De La Salle. Where does he fit in college? Weakside linebacker mostly but don't rule out a nickel-type role where he can flex over the slot more effectively than most linebackers. Hybrid is the name of the game:
"Right now, he is playing a kind of hybrid position for us," Verska explained. "He's has linebacker responsibility in some of our packages, and safety responsibilities in others. He has played a lot of safety for us over the summer. We moved him there about halfway through the summer. He's a big kid, but he can run really well. He's done a great job.
"He's very good in coverage. He has picked up all the checks and things we do in the secondary very well, and he breaks on the ball quickly. He can jump, and he plays very physically. You're not going to find too many 220-pound safeties around, unless they're in the NFL."
He'll be at least James Ross size by the time he sees the field, and he may bring more coverage ability. In an ideal world he is a tight-end killer capable of beating their blocks and covering them one on one.
2015 VA DT Tim Settle, an early contender for the top kid in the country, will be at the ND game with Da'Shawn Hand. 2015 Denmark(!) DT Hjalte Froholdt consuming Herlev Rebels. Wheatley brothers profiled by a guy who is not good at talkin':
TJ Wheatley is 6'6", 245 and claims Michigan and Alabama offers.
Michigan lands five commits and a potential future commit on the USA Today All-America list: George Campbell (who is committed to Michigan), Mason Cole, Drake Harris, Michael Ferns, Jabrill Peppers, and possibly/probably Da'Shawn Hand. Not bad.
The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies' room
He can be my wingman any day.
The causal sexism and creepiness increasing on the blog when legal age women are ogled, but creeping on a high school boy is ok? Interesting standards on humor and sexism there.
Do you honestly disagree that there is a lot of casual sexism on the board?
But I don't think complaining about it then partaking in it shows consistency.
It may be quoting a movie, but if any guy had a similar movie quote about some cute high school girl those same accusations would come up. And worse.
You think that quote was creepy? It wasn't about Winovich. Someone said he looked like Iceman, so a few guys made Iceman quotes. They aren't directed at anyone (well, except Maverick).
This isn't meant to be a dig on you, but go watch that movie again. You'll be happy you did.
Ummm, they're quoting Top Gun..... Don't think it's anything to call the cops over.
Feminism in a nutshell
You're painting with a pretty broad brush there, JimBob
I propose that Shaun Crawford is the Jeremy Gallon of DBs. He is undersized, but tough and instinctual. People will always talk about his size, but when he gets on the field it doesn't seem to play a role at all. Also, with his frame he could be stocky and powerful, but also shifty like Gallon
I'm not even buckling up for this Friday. If anything, I'll just momentarily pull the belt over my shoulder to make it look good.
Safety first! You may get a little commitlash but that's a whole lot better than the alternative.
I thought Kinnel displayed good hips and quick feet, could start at NB and work his way outside. If Michigan lands Cole and Cole wants to play defense, I think Safety is probably a better destination for him that CB. That would round out a fast and physical 3 person DB class and Michigan would be finished at the position group.
Minkah Fitzpatrick?
Jabrill is JACKED
Chase Winovich is not the real Slim Shady, though it appears the look is back, is back. And people can once again murder a rhyme one word at a time...
Brian, can you someone on your team land an interview with Professor Rosentraub?
I'd love to hear his thoughts on what a sports management degree can do for student athletes, about the NCAA generally, and to get some feeling for what makes him so awesome. My guess is that it would be the greatest story since Heiko-Borges.
All caveats about him being just a kid apply here, but word on the Rivals board is that Chase may not be the most cerebral linebacker in the world. Just one of the opinions of the evaluators over there after seeing him at camps, etc.
The feeling is that he is at his best if you just line him up and send him screaming at the QB. If that is to be believed, I think our coaching staff may project him at WILL, just an FYI.
At SAM, he doesn't need to read and diagnos nearly as much as he would at WILL. WILL he has more gap responsibility and more flow responsibility. At SAM, he's either coming off the edge or dropping.
Ah I guess I have my SAM and WILL responsibilities confused. I always thought a SAM had to get after the RB or QB and shed blockers mostly in run support whereas the WILL was more or less a blitzer or a coverage guy depending on the pre snap read. I am not a coach.
I mean, some parts of WILL, the parts you said, are true and relative to Winovich, but the read and react would hurt him more at WILL I think. At SAM you do have to shed blockers and get off the edge and find the ball carrier, but your read is much easier so it's much more simply reacting.
Well, the coaches recruited Winovich as a SAM, and it's rare that you'll find a 6'4" guy with a long wingspan at WILL. It's not a coincidence that the guys playing there (Ross, Morgan, Jenkins-Stone) are a shade over 6'0" and on the lighter side (220 lbs. or so).
I think outside of Peppers obviously, Crawford would have to be my favorite CB that we've recruited over the past few classes.
He reminds me of FSU's LaMarcus Joyner. Joyner was a 5-Star, and I wouldn't go as far as saying that Crawford should be ranked that highly, but they have some similar qualities.
It seems like it's been a while since we have recruited a CB that is so willing to come up and just torch people in run support. Crawford is extremely good at getting off of blocks as well, which has sometimes plagued our secondary.
Hoke has recruited some good cover corners, but none of them seem like thumpers outside of Crawford and Peppers.
Crawford also has great speed...Pumped for this one.
Really don't know much about Kinnel, however, but at this point with how successful recruiting has been, every player really just seems like a bonus.
....yet, he managed to make the recruiting round up 3 times. Along with the additional information of where he is committed.
Nice work Brian.
And hey, did I say George Campbell is Committed to Michigan?! WOOOooJGadjJKLJD!!!
[Edit:] One more thing. Mr. Peppers, you better be careful. We don't want you to get sent to jail for man slaughter before you get on campus. So take it easy on those little dudes.
Are you dying? There's no dying! There's no dying in recruiting!
There is no dying in recruiting!!!
At least not until 2016 when UM wins its consecutive NC!!!
Its not even the end of August 2013...Not sure if closing out 2015 CB recruiting at this point is a good thing or a bad thing?
These kids go through a lot of physical transformations at this age, both good and bad...
took it easy on that guy. I think he could have knocked him out if he had wanted to. The kid is/was not that big. Imagine if he had a chance to square up on that kid. OUCH.
Right before the hit someone yells "Careful AJ!" AJ can't say he wasn't warned.
I love how no one really reacts to the touchdown being scored after the hit.
HS football seems so brutal due to the size mismatches - you can have the 150 lb kid who is going to be an accountant in 5 years playing next to a guy who is headed to a BCS type Div 1 team and when they cross paths... this type of stuff happens. Even the 190 lbs sort of unathletic dude playing within arms length of the 250 lb MAC future offensive lineman doesnt seem like a fun place to be.
but I'll put it here too because Peppers.
Better footage of what we've already seen plus a few defensive plays.
Every time I hear or see "____ working for the weekend" I think of the Chris Farley Chippendales skit from SNL.
Hope this article doesn't get lost!!!!

Dublin clampers take industrial action
10/03/2014 - 19:53:56Back to Ireland Home
Clampers in Dublin have decided to take industrial action over a pay dispute.
SIPTU workers at Dublin Street Parking Services used a secret ballot today to vote in favour of a strike, but still haven't decided what form of action they will take.
The row centres on a 2.5% pay increase.
