VMC Cup Derby Preview
The City of Manchester Stadium
Wednesday 6th January 2010
Manchester City FC go into our first cup semi-final in 29 years in better shape than at any time during those three long decades and we are hungry for success...
Vital Quotes:
Roberto Mancini:
'We can talk about other things after the derby - at the moment the most important thing is our match against Manchester United. .. right now, we have two games to focus on and if we play well then we have the chance to play a final at Wembley. This season, if it is possible, we can win a trophy. As for the rest - we will see after the derby.
'It is important we get through this month. If we can do that, the future for us is good because then we will have all the injured players back. Hopefully it will be possible for us to get into the top four. But it all depends on what happens in January.'
'I didn't expect that performance, it was shocking. I've no complaints about the result. We have to get this result out of our system as quickly as possible. We have a semi-final on Wednesday and a lot of these players won't be playing. You have to view this performance in the right light. We'll make sure we're ready for Wednesday now. We had a team in mind but there will maybe be a few changes for that.'
Geoff Boycott on 'Tiny Tim:'
'I wrote to Michael Owen a while back to say, 'look at this Feng Shui and see what you think' have seen him play and he needs that little spark which maybe this can give him. He hasn't replied to my letter yet but if he does I will put him in touch with some experts in feng shui and see where that takes him.'
United Rant Webzine:
'While a knee-jerk reaction in the aftermath of yet another defeat for Manchester United - an eighth this season - benefits nobody, some players have underperformed this season. This much is glaringly clear to the Old Trafford faithful. Defeat to Leeds United serves to highlight the problem, with three players in particular failing to do the shirt justice...Dimitar Berbatov...Darron Gibson...Michael Owen.'
Norfstander Blog Spot
'Whatever Ferguson does, I'm sure we'll give our near-neighbours a fantastic welcome to Manchester; day trippers, happy clappers, men in black, and all. Whatever Burnley, Liverpool, Besiktas, Villa and Fulham can do, etc, etc. I thoroughly anticipate we'll dish out another Eastlands beasting midweek, before letting Benjani finish them off in the return leg before a half-empty Legoland.'

Manchester CITY Team News:
Defence is where Mancio's issues lie ahead of the Eastlands humdinger.
Wayne Bridge, Nedum Onuoha and Joleon Lescott are all injured while Kolo Toure is away on African international duty with striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
Micah Richards should be able to see off his groin problem and the impressive MCFC Academy graduate Dedryck Boyata is almost certain to start.
Shaun Wright-Phillips and Roque Santa Cruz are both meanwhile rated as doubtful.
Michael Johnson, out for the season completes a long Blues injury list.
Player to watch: Carlos Tevez
Derided as 'a dog chasing a stick' by United We Stand when they realised The Glazers couldn't afford his dynamic services, the on fire striker has scored 12 goals in 20 starts for City. He made things happen at the swamp and his drive and commitment are sure to go up a gear for this encounter.
Manchester united Team News:
Much has been made of Taggart's emergency decision to reverse his arrogant plan to field kids against The Blues, but his senior players also let him down badly against Lids.
Expect the likes of the dangerous Evra and a couple of weary old stagers like Scholes, The English Patient and Giggs to return.
Macheda, Nani and Vidic are rated as doubtful while Ferdinand, Van der Sar, Hargreaves and O` Shea are all out injured.
Player to watch: Patrice Evra
One of the few rags who this season regularly puts in a shift, the jet heeled left back is highly rated and controversially, I'd even consider making a bid for the player next summer who so notably caved in spectacularly in his first Manchester Derby.
Dangerous on the overlap and strong in the tackle.
Match Facts & Stats
City are going after a 5th straight victory, and have lost once in 18 league and cup games, twice all season.
City's last major semi-final was in the 1981 FA Cup campaign against Ipswich.
In 1976 City stuffed the rags 4-0 on the way to the League Cup final. The Citizens also beat them 4-3 on aggregate in the 1970 semi-final.
The rags have only beaten City once in the League Cup in 1974.
The rags, the current League Cup holders, have lost 3 of their last 6 fixtures.
VMC Forum Link: MATCHDAY THREAD: Man City v Dirty Rags - Carling Cup Semi-Final - Wed Jan 6th - KO. 19:45 UK Time
Ref Watch:
M L Dean, Wirral We need Mr Dean to be strong for this game. He must not cave in to Taggart's increasingly desperate intimidation. He's reffed City at Blackburn, Villa and Brum this season and seen City come away from those games with 5 unbeaten points. However, he recently awarded the rags two penalties at Portsmouth. Keeps the red cards pocketed. Current Season record: Games:21, Yellow Cards: 76, Red Cards:2
Match Prediction:
And now you're gonna believe us? We couldn't ask for City to be in better shape going into this crucial fixture in the context of our club's resurgence. Everything is in place for take off. Critically, City must beat the rags anywhich way we can on Wednesday before proceeding to The Swamp for a second leg where we can all but rule out any sort of refereeing assistance. Above all else, we must NOT concede a goal. Taggart is cornered right now and astonishingly has fickle fans calling for him to 'stand down.' Historically, he is very often never more dangerous and you can expect him to angrily demand a response from his squad despite it's clear weaknesses. But City are threatening to scale higher heights and I am banking on the memory of September's 97th minute defeat firing the Blues into every challenge. Eastlands Expects. Johnny On The Spot?: CITY 3 united 0

Nneka Lucia Egbuna (born 24 December 1980 in Warri, Nigeria) is a German-Nigerian hip hop/soul singer and songwriter. She sings in both Igbo and English.Read More...
After relocating to Hamburg in 2003, Nneka has been working closely with the hip hop beatmaker DJ Farhot. As a young singer she first gained public attention in 2004 while performing as an opening act for dancehall reggae star Sean Paul at Hamburg Stadtpark. After much acclaim, Nneka released her debut EP The Uncomfortable Truth with the music label Yo Mama's Recording Company after which she performed on her first tour with Patrice, playing shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
She finished recording her first album in the autumn of 2005. Entitled Victim of Truth. Garnering rave reviews from the media, the UK's Sunday Times later declared it "the year's most criminally overlooked album", comparing it favourably to 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'.
In February 2008, she released her second album, No Longer at Ease. The title of the album is taken from a novel of the same name by Chinua Achebe and reflects the lyrical content of the record. Most of the songs are political, talking about the plight of the Niger Delta and the corruption in Nneka's homeland. "No Longer at Ease" combines the political and the personal in "a winning mix of soul, hip-hop an reggae". The lead single from it, "Heartbeat", became her first song to break into the German Top 50.
In November 2009, Nneka staged her first concert tour of the United States where she performed shows in New York City, Vienna (Washington DC), Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Furthermore she was a special guest on The Roots Jam session. Her first US release Concrete Jungle was set for 2 February 2010.
Nneka recorded her last album Soul Is Heavy in Nigeria. She also co-founded a charity foundation called the "ROPE foundation" with Genda, Ahmed Nyei from Sierra Leone. She has worked extensively in charity and arts with the foundation in Sierra Leone. Nneka has also worked with Reebok and her track "Shinning" topped global charts in 2013. Read more on Last.fm.

Sorry, no definitions found. You may find more data at phoenecia.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Anyway, the phonetic alphabit is thought now to have originated in Egypt, not Phoenecia, and it seems based on some hieroglyphic characters.
Comparative studies between Jews and the Lebanese who inhabit what was once Phoenecia, the best-known Canaanite civilization seems to point in the same direction.
This would leave "Iraq's three Sunni-majority provinces as a truncated state that might eventually choose to unify with a Syria that loses its littoral to a Mediterranean-oriented Greater Lebanon: Phoenecia reborn."
US Army Contemplates Redrawing Middle East Map to Stave-off Looming Global Meltdown
Egypt, Mesopotamia, Phoenecia, Greece, and Rome, have all been claimed for the Aryan, but the spade has unearthed stone that bears sentient witness to the fact that Africa has been the pioneer in the field of civilization.
Disguised as a military officer, he visited the persecuted Churches of Syria, Phoenecia, and Palestine, exhorting the afflicted Catholics to remain faithful to their faith, ordaining orthodox priests where they were needed, and in many other ways assisting the Catholic bishops in the difficult exercise of their duties during these troublesome times.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 5: Diocese-Fathers of Mercy
Northward the name seems never to have passed beyond Cape Posideium (Possidi) at the foot of Mount Casius, the tract between this and the range of Taurus being always known as Syria, never as Phoenecia or Phoenicé.
Like Samaria, they had revolted at the death of Tiglath-Pileser; and Shalmaneser, consequently, marched into Phoenecia at the beginning of his reign, probably in his first year, overran the entire country, and forced all the cities to resume their position of dependence.

A Russian astronaut accidentally set fire to space, Saturday, after flouting international regulations on naked flames above the stratosphere. It was initially thought the blaze was related to the lighting of the Olympic torch, outside the International Space Station. Now, though, it can be revealed that the conflagration was started by Ivan Smytna, who aplogised, saying: "I was going to jokily pretend to light the torch with my gas lighter. But then, as a distraction I was going to pass the unlit torch to my friend Mikhail, and nip round the back of the space vehicle for a sneaky cigarette outside the rear hatch, where there are no cameras. That's where it happened, but honestly neither I nor the scientific community had any idea space was flammable. All the same, I apologise unreservedly for any Armageddon caused."
Russian astronauts are the last to agree to a total smoking ban aboard their own space vehicles, although until 2010 smoking was allowed but restricted to "special areas" aboard Russian craft.
It is not yet known how widespread the space fire might become, but according to international law, any fire in space is the responsibility of the fire authority vertically below it on earth. This turns out to be the Isle of Wight Fire Authority, whose part time chief Don Smythe promised a swift reaction. "We have already done an initial feasibility study on funding and eventually building a firefighting spacecraft to be launched from Ventnor, as early as 2023. Because of the likely scale of the task, we have initiated co-funding talks with Hampshire County Council. These will take place after netball practice on Fridays in Cowes County Council annexe, if we can get the hall. One of our volunteer firefighters has got a lot of 'The Sky at Night' on VHS, so obviously we're ahead of the game, research wise, if she can find them."
Don Smythe, admired locally as a "chipfire veteran" who is set to retire next year continued: "We are monitoring the fire in space using a powerful zoom lens on my friend Chris's new SLR, and obviously if universal obliteration is threatened in any way, shape or form, we will be the first to discuss evacuation plans with the international community at large. In the meantime all we can do is encourage people to check the fuse ratings on their electric blankets as temperatures drop. We have also cancelled station visits by infant schools duing the crisis, which I know will disappoint many. As I understand it from the Physics Department at Shanklin Metro University (thanks Maureen, by the way, for your help with this) space is a big old place and the fire up there is comparatively small, at the moment, so panic is probably un-necessary till we can crunch some numbers. All the same I appeal to Blockbusters in Shanklin to stop lending tapes of any of those end of the world movies starring Tom Cruise or even Cillian Murphy."
Mrs Mary Smythe will feature in a fold out colour special in the Ryde Times called "The Real Thunderbirds" about being married to a fire chief turned space hero. She took time out from her wool shop duties to tell the paper: "Everything they say about firemen is true, almost. These new developments are especially exciting, and if Don can squeeze in an early hometime during the crisis, especially on an early closing day, I have got a special treat for him!"

Portugal coach Bento wants honesty from USA,Germany in World Cup clash
Portugal are hanging on to a World Cup last-16 berth by their fingernails but will head into the final Group G match with Ghana certain that the US and Germany will not play for the draw that would send both sides through, coach Paolo Bento said.
The Portuguese retained slim chances of progressing after scoring a late equaliser in a pulsating 2-2 draw against the Americans in the Amazonia Arena on Sunday.
Bento refused to criticise either a weary-looking Cristiano Ronaldo or any of the other players for a lacklustre second-half performance, in which the Americans turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead.
"Ronaldo was fit, he played the full 90 minutes and he didn't seem to have any problem,†a poker-faced Bento told a news conference.
"This is a delicate moment for all our players. They are all a bit sad now and this is not the moment to criticise individuals.
"Criticise me as a coach if you will, we had a chance to get a result here today, we didn't but we have to move on and try to beat Ghana.â€
Bento was asked if he believed US coach Juergen Klinsmann's vow to play all out for a win against his native Germany, even though a draw would send both sides through at the expense of Portugal and Ghana.
"In my entire career as a player and coach, I have never been suspicious about my colleagues playing for a draw,†he said.
"Our obligation is to beat Ghana and, although our chances are slim even if we do, we will maintain our professional standards until the very last minute.â€
All four teams are still in the reckoning with a myriad of potential scenarios, but Portugal can only advance if they beat the Ghanaians and hope the US v Germany result goes their way.
Having taken an early lead through Nani, Portugal were on the back foot after the interval as a fitter US team turned the match on its head through Jermaine Jones and Clint Dempsey.
Substitute Silvestre Varela levelled at the death after a subdued Ronaldo delivered a cross into the penalty area, but Bento said neither the world player of the year nor any of his teammates had struggled in the humid conditions.
"We were fine physically, it was more the mental aspect that determined the course of the game,†he said.
"We were a goal up and then fell behind. In the end we got an equaliser that leaves us in with a mathematical chance to progress.
"We dominated the first 45 minutes and should have scored more goals, but the situation changed in the second half. We never lost control of the match, although we didn't dominate the whole game and failed to contain their right wing.
"The second US goal came through our mistakes and in the end I guess a draw was a fair result, although it left us in a very difficult situation.â€

Tanko says:June 25, 2014 11:00 amMumbi: wo maame!
benny says:June 25, 2014 11:29 amI love to see Ghana go through but if the unfortunate happens, it will be a good opportunity to get rid of AA and his crooks and usher in a true professional coach who will discharge his duties without favouratism.
Benito says:June 25, 2014 12:00 pmFIFA won't care less what happens in the USA vs. Germany game,it's most corrupt organization on planet earth.they are hypocrites and make mockery of "fair play" and "zero racism" see what happened to the Ivorians,how can a referee award such a dubious penalty at such a time knowing that "the black"guys could qualify with a draw in that game..
Prince says:June 25, 2014 12:45 pmMumbi,you cant hate your fellow man and expect God to bless you..We pray that every African country taste the WC fever but if you dont take care Zambia will never go to the WC in 100yrs to come if you dont stop the hate you have for Ghana.
Emmanuel Appiah-kubi says:June 25, 2014 01:09 pm[email protected]@ you right about FIFA , but the Ivorians duck their own grave. They didn't play as united thus why they got kicked out of the WC. It was a clear pk . the same thing gonna happene to the super eagles today
Crusader7 says:June 25, 2014 01:32 pmThis should tell you what Portugal intends to do to Ghana.

John Jordan, b 1864, Wabash, IN
I am looking for family of John Jordan born 1864 in Wabash, Gibson County, Indiana. His father's name may have been James. John Jordon spelled with the o is in the 1870 Gibson County census, age 6. There is no (obvious) mother in that census but perhaps the father James (William J.?) has remarried to a Julia by 1880?
My great-grandfather claimed he ran away from home at an early age after his mother died and his father remarried. It would be nice to have someone who knows the history of this Jordan family.

With two public hearings taking place on Long Island this week and a scathing report by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli just released, the proposed restructuring of the Long Island Power Authority by Gov. Andrew Cuomo is facing its first true test.
Cuomo has proposed turning over all control of LIPA's electric and transmission grid to New Jersey-based PSEG, the firm the LIPA board chose to take over operations next year.
Cuomo wants to return LIPA to its original purpose – pay down debt. His plan includes freezing electric rates for three years – an initiative that has come under scrutiny since it doesn't include fuel and other charges, as well as cutting the LIPA board from 20 to 5 and LIPA staff from 90 to about 20.
DiNapoli also expressed concerns about oversight issues because the new LIPA would not be subject to state comptroller or attorney general reviews.
Unions also voiced issues over whether jobs would be given to Long Island workers with a New Jersey firm being brought in.
What are your thoughts on the LIPA plan?[addpoll pollid=219334 width=0]

Gravity may limit cell growth and size limit. Professor Cliff Brangwynne of the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department of Princeton University presented his research on Nuclear Actin, RNA Droplets and Gravity on Tuesday, September 24, explaining the research that led to his recent conclusion.
Typical eukaryotic cells are about 10µm in diameter, but some cells become very large in size – especially oocytes or immature eggs. Professor Brangwynne studied the effects of gravity on the oocytes of the frog X. laevis, which not only grow to diameters of around 1mm, but also have nuclei as large as 450µm in diameter.
Brangwynne discovered that larger nuclei have higher concentrations of a globular protein called actin. Actin, while typically known as a protein involved in the cytoplasm, is also in the nucleus. In the nucleus, it is involved in various processes such as transcription, transcription regulation, RNA processing, intranuclear movement, and structure maintenance.
Nucleoli, ribonucleoproteins, make up about 25% of a large egg nucleus's volume and play a part in ribosome formation. Nucleoli behave as liquid droplets, but despite the predicted gravitational force exerted on these droplets, they do not pool at the bottom of the nucleus as one big droplet.
To test why, Professor Brangwynne used microrheology. In microrheology, the researchers insert tiny tracers inside a medium and observe the tracers' flows to determine the medium's viscosity and the presence of obstacles. Larger tracers in Brangwynne's research showed very little movement, indicating the presence of a mesh like network.
Believing the mesh like network to be a nuclear actin network, Professor Brangwynne injected XPO6 or exportin-6, a nuclear protein that exports actin from the nucleus, to remove actin from the nucleus. After the removal of actin from the large nucleus, Brangwynne observed the pooling of nucleoli as he had predicted; gravity, in fact, does have an impact on cells.
Brangwynne also noticed that the nucleoli was not the only structure to settle down. Tiny structures known as histone-locus bodies or HLBs also pool at the bottom, but due to their smaller size and mass, they take a longer time to settle. Actin networks thus prevent the sedimentation of intranuclear structures of large cells in the presence of gravity. The energy expenditure necessary to maintain these actin networks supports the notion of gravity as a limiter on cell growth and size.
To quantify these effects, Professor Brangwynne calculated the gravitational length scale for various cellular structures to determine the respective heights after which the gravitational forces on these structures becomes non-negligible. This led to the prediction that chromosomes may also sediment at the bottom of large cells without the aid of actin networks.
He is now working on reinserting the actin network after its removal and the effect of the reinsertion on large nuclei.

For Cannon, it's his 101st career start. These two have never raced each other until now.
Identical lights, and then Cannon has to lift as the
car had the wheels up and was moving around. Burkart with another great run.
Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed 3 Del Worsham 347 Tim Wilkerson E1 ****WINNER**** 0.080 4.786 320.66 0.070 4.862 305.56 Qualified: #5 4.776 323.50 #12 4.845 299.20Worsham is the defending event champ, and is 3-2 against Wilkerson. Wilkerson, of course, won Indy.

Bazemore is 5-0 against Lee. This is the 24th time that Bazemore has qualified number one.
What an upset! Down goes the points leader, and Team CSK goes 3-0 in round one. Bazemore was way out in front at half track, but he started hazing the tires and Lee drove around him. Lee will face his teammate Burkart in round two, Burkart with lane choice.
Cory Lee's incremental margins (negative
if behind): 60ft(0.004), 330 ft(-0.067), 660ft(-0.081), 1,000ft(0.045). MOV: 0.2113 seconds (approximately 73

Lawson has one win against Force, and it was at this track in June. This is Lawson's 18th career start. By the way, 17 of Force's 108 wins have come from the number two spot.
Force gets the win, but everyone was watching Lawson. The car shook, he pedaled it, and when he got back in
it, the car went airborne and when it came back down he crossed into Force's lane and took out the 1/8 mile mph
Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed 20 Gary Scelzi 71 Cruz Pedregon E1 ****WINNER**** 0.083 4.768 328.70 0.081 4.800 321.73 Qualified: #4 4.750 320.74 #13 4.852 316.08The winner here will be the only non-Team CSK car on the top half of the ladder in the next round. This is Scelzi's 350th round of competition in the fuel classes. Cruz has qualified 13th six times now, and has just one round win from that spot.
Great race here, as Scelzi runs the fastest mph in Funny Car history. Cruz with a career best pass, but it's not enough. Scelzi will have lane choice over Worsham in round two.
Gary Scelzi's MOV: 0.0303
seconds (approximately 14 feet).

Pedregon can take back the points lead with a win here. This is Bode's 18th career start, and 5th of 2003.
Say hello to your new Funny Car points leader. Bode smoked the tires
about 300 feet out, and Pedregon was long gone.
Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed 503 Tommy Johnson Jr. 28 Ron Capps E1 0.042 7.903 106.35 ****WINNER**** 0.057 4.875 322.04 Qualified: #7 4.796 320.66 #10 4.816 319.60Capps is 5-4 against TJ, and has 200 round wins in his professional career. The winner here gets Force in the next round.
TJ up in smoke pretty early, and Capps will have lane choice against Force.
Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed 4 Gary Densham 206 Bob Gilbertson E1 ****WINNER**** 0.133 4.723 324.90 0.067 4.910 303.09 Qualified: #3 4.728 299.13 #14 4.880 317.05Densham is 8-2 against Gilbertson. This Gilbertson's 81st career start, 76 of which have been in the bottom half of the field.
Gilbertson with the big holeshot, but check out Densham's e.t. That's the second quickest run ever.
That sets up a very interesting race between Densham and Tony Pedregon, Densham with lane choice.

Wracke and Redemption
Dating William STRACHEY'S 'A TRUE REPORTORY OF THE WRACKE AND REDEMPTION OF SIR THOMAS GATES':
A comparative textual study
In their article published in the September 2007, Review of English Studies, Roger Stritmatter and Lynne Kositsky claim that a letter written by William Strachey drew on several sources published after its putative composition date of 15 July 1610, and was completed at least 2 years later, too late to be used by Shakespeare as a source for The Tempest. But a close textual comparison between the letter, the published sources and other contemporary documents, including a relatively newly discovered draft of the Strachey letter, demonstrates the primacy of Strachey's letter and confirms its use as a source in the Virginia Company tract published in November 1610, therefore preserving its accessibility as a source for Shakespeare.
For their kind suggestions during the writing of this article, I thank Jacqueline Foertsch, David Kathman, Lynne Kositsky, Irvin Matus, Tom Veal and especially Alden T. Vaughan.

In the summer of 1609, the Virginia Company of London sent nine ships to re-supply its fledging hard-luck Jamestown colony in Virginia. The fleet ran into a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic and the flagship Sea Venture, carrying the colony's new governor, Sir Thomas Gates, became separated from the fleet and was presumed lost by those who weathered the storm and made it to Virginia. But Gates and all 150 passengers and crew members had actually been shipwrecked on the uninhabited island of Bermuda.
During the next ten months they managed not only to survive, but also to build two new vessels and complete the journey to Virginia. When they finally arrived at Jamestown in May 1610, they found the colony in total collapse, suffering from famine and Indian attacks that had reduced the 600 colonists to fewer than 70. Gates ordered the surviving colonists into the ships to sail home. However, they met with a new supply fleet before clearing the Chesapeake Bay, and so they turned back to renew the ultimately successful colony. The survival and escape to safety of Gates' colonists and the deliverance of the Jamestown colony galvanised London when the news reached England in September 1610.

"Shut up!"
That's what Richard Simmons says if he recognizes you.
"Shut up!"
That's what Richard Simmons says if you wear something outrageous to his aerobics class, which is open to anyone in Los Angeles on Tuesday nights with $12 and two hours to burn.
"Shut up!"
That's what Richard Simmons says if he legitimately wants you to shut up because he's talking.
Simmons throws out "Shut Ups" like Zsa Zsa Gabor drops "Darlings." Everywhere, in all directions, all the time. It's one of the many memorable things about (yes, this is the real name of the class)"Richard Simmons Sweat."
The first time you see Richard Simmons in real life, you expect him to be wearing a basketball jersey and short shorts, because that's how he appeared in all those commercials and late-night talk shows. But this time he entered in a red pompadour wig, white makeup and a silver cape. He had just come from a video shoot. Or possibly a regular Tuesday afternoon. You never know with Simmons.
He sauntered into Slimmons Studio in full Joan Crawford regalia, and when nobody recognized him immediately, he yelled, "Shut up!" Then everyone—and by everyone I mean 50 women aged 22 to 70 plus four guys—clapped.
He then personally greeted every member of the class with a hug and air kiss. I got a "Nice to meet you." The lady behind me got a big, old "Shut up!"
The theme for today's class, he told us, would be divas, in honor of the video he was shooting. (I still say allegedly shooting.) And even though the musical set list would come to include Neil Diamond and Louis Armstrong, nobody cared, because if Richard Simmons says Neil Diamond is a diva, then damn it he's a diva.
We started with basic warm-up movements to loosen each muscle group. Then it was time to aerobicize. It was near impossible to see Simmons through the mass of bodies in the room, so I did whatever the woman in front of me did, and I hoped I did it right because for reasons that I don't care to think about I was really hoping Richard Simmons wouldn't notice me.
OK, I'll think about them for a moment. Simmons is brutally honest, and I move with all of the grace of a 19th-century German boy's automaton. I didn't want him to notice how clunky I was.
Of course, he zeroed in on me immediately.
One of the moves we were doing required us to alternate raising our hands in the air, and I kept forgetting to do that because I'm a guy who unless he is wearing a baseball glove can move only one body part at a time. But with Simmons barking and staring lasers, I figured it out quick, and Simmons said "Good," and I was relieved.
"Now you're all going to dance with me!" he shouted to the class.
Simmons shouts a lot. Only about 25 percent of what he shouts is understandable. I swear at one point he said, "Circle-y, circle-y donut holes!" That's probably not what he said. Or maybe it was. Who knows?
We gathered in a circle and Simmons walked around and pointed at the people he wanted to join him in the circle. Then he'd run through a basic combination of steps and the people in the circle and everyone on the outside of the circle would repeat them.
He grouped the folks in the circle by men and women, so when I was pulled into the circle, it was with the other four guys.
When the women were in the circle, Simmons stood and danced with them.
When the men were dancing in the circle, Simmons writhed on the floor like a model on the hood of a sports car in a rock video from the 1980s.
At one point Richard Simmons sat on the ground, leaned back with his weight on his elbows and opened and closed his legs while looking me in the eye.
It was the gayest moment of my life, and I say that as someone whose friend once confessed his love to him.
We aerobicized a bit more, warmed down and closed with a quick weight-lifting session with dumbbells and a short core workout.
While we sat on our mats, Simmons ended class with a motivational speech. He said he saw a lot of stress, a lot of unhappiness and a lot of pain in this class. (I'm pretty sure he was talking about me while I was in the dancing circle, but there's no way to really know.) He then told the story about how when he was a kid he used to sell candy on the corner in New Orleans (of course he did) and some kids used to beat him up. He said he tried to win them over by buying them gifts, but it didn't work. I think the point of the story was: sometimes life sucks.
He then encouraged us to be kind to each other. He told the bosses in the room to compliment their employees. He urged us all to give to charity. He cried while talking about charity. For about five seconds. Then his tone of voice returned to normal, such as that is for Simmons. "He can be dramatic," my wife later said with intentional comedic understatement.
Afterwards we all lined up and took pictures.
Simmons noticed my wedding ring. (Of course he did.)
"You guys are married?"
"We are," I said, never feeling more married in my life.
"That's too bad," he said, "Shut up."

Techtorial: Anticipation for GTA V includes mods and some enthusiasts are wishful about incorporating zombies on the sandbox title with multiplayer support.
I can see it as an interesting concept, but no thank you. I've had enough of zombies to last the rest of my life. You want sandbox zombies? I recommend WarZ or DayZ, then.
I hope so. When I played RDR's Undead Nightmare I kept thinking about a zombie mode in GTA.
with the worlds R* creates this would really be cool, just for the city planning alone. imagine sprinting down one of gta4's anonymous alleys with a horde of zombies in pursuit. or hiding out in playboy's loft and looking down from the roof at the sea of undead surrounding you.
Would much rather have a matrix esque mod where the player can enter one cheat code and not invincibility and roam around. That or who can last the longest with six stars. Zombie modes are kind of played out this generation to me and have gotten stale. Something new needs to be thought of

Following the loss of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad, Axis forces suffered a series of devastating setbacks in 1943. The German expeditionary force in Libya and Tunisia was defeated in May, and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was replaced in late July by Prime Minister Pietro Badoglio, who subsequently dissolved the National Fascist Party, signed an armistice with the Allies, and declared war on Germany. The Battle of Kursk, waged in July and August and ending in a decisive Soviet victory, would be the last major German offensive operation in the Soviet Union.
On February 18, 1943, at the Berlin Sportpalast, German Minister of Propaganda and Enlightenment Joseph Goebbels announced strict austerity measures at home, urgently maintaining that Germany had a "historic responsibility" to prevent Bolshevism from spreading across Europe. The mood among Soviet artists, by contrast, was tangibly optimistic. A poster designed at the end of the year by Viktor Deni depicts a heroic Red Army soldier sweeping out German detritus with a broom made of bayonets, confidently indicating that the days of occupation were numbered.

It was one of those plays in hockey that I doubt many of the 1,000 gathered for the Rampage-Moose game at the AT&T Center can fully appreciate. San Antonio's Chris Durno slipped the puck over the goal line under the Manitoba cage with just .02 of a second left in regulation. Two standing points for the Rampage. Zero for the Moose.
This kind of goal rarely happens in hockey.
"In 15 years I might have seen two of them like that," said the resident Rampage greybeard, Bryan Helmer, he of close to 1,000 pro games in a stellar career.
Earlier this season, Joel Perrault scored with .04 of a second left in regulation to tie a game with Houston, only to have the Aeros win in a shootout on Oct. 19.
So this one was very special. In the 50 years or so I've been going to hockey games, this was the first time I'd seen a game decided by a goal at the 59:59 mark of regulation. It was exciting. It was unexpected. Fortunately for the Rampage, Durno, who's been on quite the scoring streak lately, wasn't thinking overtime Tuesday night.
With five seconds left and the Rampage killing a penalty, Ryan Caldwell slammed the puck down the length of the ice, around the bottom rim of the dasherboards. The puck was rolling on its edge and as Moose goaltender Corey MacIntyre went behind the net to stop the rolling puck, it suddenly hit something on the ice and hopped over MacIntyre's stick. The goalie tried to get back into position, but Durno, who didn't give up on the play, had already gotten control of the puck and swept it into the net moments before the buzzer sounded.
"I didn't think there was anything for me to lose at that point of the game by sprinting down the ice. You just hope for the goalie to turn one over down there," recalled Durno of the magic moment. "I got that lucky bounce you dream about, I guess."
The whole scenario wouldn't have occurred if Durno didn't listen to what many people tell us all everyday — don't quit, keep going, follow your shot etc.
And when you're hot, you're hot and in the right spot.
Durno now has goals in each of his last four games, including back-to-back game winners against the Moose and an overtime game winner against Iowa. The Rampage have won five of their last six and eight of 11.
"I thought there was two or three seconds, I didn't know if I was going to have time, just pulled it and kinda backhanded it into the net.
"Right after I scored I heard the buzzer so I was pretty confident the puck was in the net before the buzzer. I was kinda waiting for the team to get down there," he said with a smile that will take awhile to wipe off his face.
And when they arrived, Durno was nowhere to be seen under the pile. Goaltender Josh Tordjman proved masked men can actually skate, flying up the ice to land on Durno and about four other teammates who finally arrived to join the celebration.
"Everyone was surprised when we scored. I was in shock, I couldn't believe it. It's great!" added Durno.
Meanwhile, veteran captain Bryan Helmer was one of guys on top of the exuberant pig pile, as Durno's teammates enjoyed the moment together.
"Let me up, let me up!" Helmer relayed what Durno was saying with the weight of the hockey team on his prone body.
Earlier, if you like to see hockey shots "go upstairs where mama hides the cookies" Tuesday was your night on the east end of the rink.
Rampage winger Bill Thomas, standing on the lip of the crease, edged his stick slightly to redirect defenseman Ryan Caldwell's shot from the point over the left shoulder of Corey MacIntyre into the top left corner.
Manitoba's Mason Raymond returned the favor early in the second period, when his quick wrister sailed over Josh Tordjman's right shoulder, clanged off the crossbar and rattled into the cage under the netting on the left side.
Pretty and impressive goals no goaltender this side of Jacques Plante could get.
When the 34-year old Helmer and Moose left wing Jason Jaffray dropped the gloves in the second period, Helmer schooled the 26-year old pretty good. Helmer, who was in his fifth year with the Albany River Rats when Jaffray began his junior career as a teenager in Edmonton, had a pretty animated bout, with the wiley veteran scoring the decision on style points.
Helmer did wrestle the kid to the ice after some nice upper cuts. Helmer, who will play in his 1,000th pro game next week (Jaffray his 369th) had a "what the heck was I thinking" grin on his face as he coasted to the penalty box.
"We were kinda battling. He pushed me down a little bit and I took offense to it, asked him if he wanted to go. I didn't think he would. I waited until he dropped the gloves. He did so, now it's on. It's all part of the game," said Helmer, who last fought last season in Chicago.
The team is growing the "Helmer Look" goatee in honor of the Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, native's 1,000th game, which will most likely be played in Peoria on Jan. 22.
"It's pretty special that their going to do this for me," said Helmer, who has 134 NHL games under his belt with Phoenix, St. Louis, Vancouver and the Coyotes again. "It just shows the character on the team doing something like this for me. It's going to be a special night for me. It's been a fun ride and I've been blessed," added the veteran blueliner, who has scored 120 career goals, including eight in the NHL.
Besides being an outstanding leader and player on the ice, Helmer has a tremendous track record for performing community service wherever his skates are hung to dry. Recently, Helmer headmaned the effort to help a local woman get enough money for a down payment on her home by passing the helmet around the locker room. And he is always seen giving tours of the locker room after games to kids and families who have never had the chance to meet a professional athlete on such a personal level.
While he played in Grand Rapids, Helmer forged a bond with a young Griffins fan confined to a wheelchair, a bond that transcends the uniform he wears, as the two hooked up in Michigan last season when the Rampage played there on the visiting team bench.
Great guy, great hockey player, great person!
That's Bryan Helmer.
And Jason Jaffray, who got into a schuffle with the "old man…" hopefully you'll enjoy a career like Helms and never forget the fans who care so much about their players.
Kills me how two scratched hockey players can sit in an arena in total seclusion here in San Antonio. In the NHL cities up north, players would have to watch from deep within the bowels of the building, since their mugs are so well known. Pete Vandermeer and Dylan Reese, Tuesday's scratches, were just well-dressed fans hanging with the other "Boys Night Out" fans to the hockey public around the sparse gathering.
Nice to hear O Canada at a hockey game again. Sharon Garcia did a great job with the Canadian National Anthem with Manitoba in the building. Just brought back memories of hearing the song when Toronto or Montreal would visit the Boston Garden. And hearing the song being sung in French over the radio when the Bruins would visit the Forum was a special memory!
You can always tell non-hockey fans at the AT&T Center. Twice Tuesday night I heard we were entering the "third quarter."
For the uninitiated, hockey teams play three 20-minute periods.
Best rule change? When a team gets a penalty in their offensive zone, the faceoff goes back into their zone!
Why didn't anybody think of this before? Previously, the faceoff came out to the neutral zone on the offsides dot.
Another example that in it's 13th year, San Antonio is not much of a hockey town . . . the team offered a Guys Night Out promotion where for $20, a guy gets a ticket and unlimited visits to the concession stand.
In what could have been a very costly night for the event sponsor, Ticket 760 and the concessionaire, not to worry. When the game began you could literally count the fans on your hand, although the crowd "swelled" to 2,877, right, by the time official heads were counted. Not sure when the Alamo City faithful will catch on to this great game, but with the team playing well, and the Cowboys on vacation, perhaps there will actually be a TV station camera sighting when the dashers are up in the AT&T Center.
Sizzlin' — Durno with four goals and five assists in his last six games…Nate DiCasmirro with four goals in his last six . . . David Spina with two goals and four assists in the last six and Matt Murley with five goals and seven assists in the last 10 games.
Fizzling' — Joey Tenute without a goal his last seven games . . . Cam Paddock only one goal his last 15 . . . Enver Lisin has been missing in action since being returned from Phoenix with only one goal in four contests…and Travis Roche has only one assist in the last seven games. Nice to see T ok in the trainer's room after going down with cramps midway through the third period.
Had a nice visit with Nate DiCasmirro, who came to the Phoenix organization in the Alex Auld deal in December. Will relay that info when we meet again!

Brian O'Driscoll's 100th cap at Croke Park should be a brilliant occasion, and it could be a cracking game with some proper rugby.
Whilst we may not have seen huge amounts of it this season, both of these sides ought to keep the ball in hand and look to run with the ball. There is quality on both sides in nearly every department, and on paper, they are very evenly matched.
Lee Byrne hit the nail on the head when we spoke to him earlier this week – 'the start is where we've been going wrong'. It's surely only a matter of time in this competition before Wales bring out their instinctive, attacking rugby for 80 minutes and cause their opposition real problems.
The pressure should be off now that any thoughts they had of winning the tournament have gone, and they'll be underdogs going to Dublin to face last year's Champions. I have a feeling they'll throw everything at the game and that an upset could be on the cards.
However, I'm still leaning towards the Irish. I think they'll have the edge up front, and I'm a massive fan of the back row – Stephen Ferris is one of the best players in the world, and David Wallace and Jamie Heaslip aren't too bad either. They frustrated England a fortnight ago, and they'll do the same to Wales on Saturday, whose back row has looked a little out of sorts.
Ireland will also find an extra 10% of effort for their heroic captain on his 100th cap to make sure he has a game to remember. My fingers are crossed for a pulsating game with a few tries apiece, as well as a home win.
My SportGuru prediction is Ireland by 9.

QPR 2-2 Wolves
QPR skipper Gavin Peacock saved Rangers blushes with a late strike to earn his struggling side a point.
With four minutes remaining, Peacock collected the ball 25 yards out before sending a screamer beyond Wolves keeper Michael Oakes.
Rangers just about deserved a point as they hit back from a disappointing first half which had seen them slip behind twice.
The game had started in driving rain making good football impossible and there was hardly a decent move from either side in the first quarter hour.
Wolves carved out the first chance after 16 minutes when Lee Naylor beat Tim Breacker on the left to cross low but it managed to evade both strikers and defenders alike.
Three minutes later though they were gifted their first goal. QPR defender Matthew Rose tried to play the ball out of defence but succeeded only in losing the ball to George Ndah.
The striker stormed into the box before slotting the ball easily past Ludek Miklosko.
Wolves should have doubled that lead on 33 minutes when Carl Robinson put Neil Emblen away and he squared for Ndah whose shot was brilliantly saved by Miklosko.
Three minutes later though QPR were gifted an equaliser.
The ball was played out to Wolves' left-hand side, but the referee spotted a push by Simon Osborn on Richard Langley off the ball and awarded a penalty.
Peacock's spot-kick was brilliantly saved by Oakes diving to his left but the ball came straight back to Peacock who slotted it into the empty net.
That should have been the cue for a Rangers revival but it never materialised.
Paul Butler forced a fine save from Miklosko on 40 minutes when he let fly from 30 yards, but just three minutes later Wolves were back in front.
Osborn's corner was swung into the box and Ludovic Pollet rose highest to head into the top corner.
After 72 minutes Wolves looked to have wrapped things up when Butler swept home Osborn's corner but the referee ruled it out for a push by Pollet and Rangers took advantage of the decision to grab that vital equaliser.
Wolves could have won it with Langley twice going close but a point apiece leaves both sides deep in relegation trouble.
Queens Park Rangers: Miklosko, Breacker, Warren, Ready, Carlisle, Rose,
Langley, Peacock, Connolly, Peschisolido, Crouch.
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Oakes, Muscat, Naylor, Robinson, Pollet, Emblen,
Bazeley, Osborn, Ndah, Dinning, Butler.
Referee: L Cable (Woking).

Our April volunteer profile is on Hank Siegfried. He grew up in Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania and graduated from high school in 1957. In November he was invited by his Uncle Sam to enlist in either the US Army or the US Navy, some of his relatives encouraged him to go to sea and so he did…
Hank completed basic training at Great Lakes Naval Training Command in February 1958 and then was sent to Norman, Oklahoma (is there Navy in Oklahoma?) for six weeks receiving aviation preparation training. From Norman, he went next to the Naval Aviation Training Command at Memphis, Tennessee, for A school in aviation electricity.
Hank's first squadron would be the unique airship patrol squadron, ZW-1, at NAS Lakehurst, New Jersey. ZW-1 flew the ZPG-2W and ZPG-3W early warning blimp.
Just before getting his next orders in January 1962 , Hank was send to augment HS-7 on the USS Randolph for two months where he worked on the H-34 Seahorse Helicopter.
After HS-7 and his only carrier duty, Hank was sent to B school for Advanced Aviation Electronics school and was kept there as an instructor until 1966. Next came a tour at VP-56 in Brunswick, Maine, flying the P2V Neptune and P-3B Orion antisubmarine aircraft.
In 1969 Hank became a TAR (Training and Administration of the Reserve) helping to train reservists at the Naval Air Reserve Training Unit at NAS Lakehurst, NJ. His next duty station was at NAS Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, with the Reserve ASW (Antisubmarine Warfare) Tactics Training school, where he retired in 1976 as a Senior Chief.
In 1977, he came south to Columbia, South Carolina and completed his masters and doctorate in Education. Hank was hired to oversee the education programs of the South Carolina Department of Corrections and worked for them nineteen years, eventually retiring again and moving to Mount Pleasant, SC. He joined our volunteer staff in 2000 and has been a valuable and consistent docent for Patriots Point with his knowledge of naval aviation and education background.
We salute Hank for his continued service to the nation!
