Over the course of the season, senior Eric Vannatta and sophomore Nate Wallace of the Upper Arlington High School boys tennis team observed how teammates Billy Weldon and Stu Little - the defending Division I state champions in doubles - get ready for the postseason.
At the Division I district tournament May 20-21 at Hilliard Davidson, Vannatta and Wallace put what they learned into practice. The duo finished second, defeating St. Charles' Grant Dolven and Weston Niermeyer 6-4, 6-3 in a semifinal before losing to Dublin Jerome's Kent Seitz and Sean Stein 6-4, 7-5 in the final, to advance to the state tournament.
The top four finishers in singles and doubles at district qualified for state, which will be held Friday, May 27, and Saturday, May 28, at Davidson.
"Little and Weldon are the best. There's no doubt we learned a lot from them," Vannatta said. "We have to find places to put shots where they can't hit it back and that is really tough, but it has helped us against a lot of other people."
Weldon and Little also advanced to state, losing to Stein and Seitz - the fourth-place finishers at state last year - 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in a semifinal before defeating Dolven and Niermeyer 6-1, 6-2 in the consolation final to place third.
"(Weldon and Little) are really good competition," Wallace said. "We work hard against them and try to stick with them."
With two doubles teams moving on to state, UA extended its streak of having a state qualifier to 53 years. The Golden Bears also matched the most state qualifiers they have had since 2002.
In the opening round, Vannatta and Wallace will play Lakewood St. Edward's Mike Swartz and Jeffrey Williams, who finished third in the Northeast District. Little and Weldon will open against Perrysburg's Jeffrey Schorsch and David Hoops, who were second in the Northwest District.
By qualifying for state, Vannatta and Wallace achieved some redemption. Last year at district, they lost to Davidson's Ben McClarren and Trent Searfoss 6-2, 6-4 in a state-qualifying match.
"Eric and I have been working really hard with it," Wallace said.
"It's been our goal to make it to states. We were so close to getting there last year. Hopefully we can do something now at the state tournament."
Being the defending state champions, Weldon and Little felt pressure to return to state.
"It's a different mindset. Last year, we were out in front of everybody trying to prove ourselves," Little said. "This year, we have the target on our back. We have to make sure we stay hungry and take care of business."
Weldon and Little had a challenging draw to get back to state. The duo defeated New Albany's John Hendrix, who teamed with 2010 graduate Riyad Bennoui to place second at state last year, and Oliver Sybert 6-0, 6-0 in a quarterfinal before facing Seitz and Stein in a semifinal.
"It was definitely not the easiest draw we could have gotten as a top seed," Weldon said. "When I saw the potential matchups, I figured Upper Arlington and New Albany would square off. It almost seems fitting. We accepted what we had to do and we played the way we were capable of playing."
The Bears came close to having all six of their district qualifiers advance to state. In singles, sophomore Brandon Griffin lost to Thomas Worthington's Casey Cempre 7-6 (7-3), 6-1 in a quarterfinal and freshman Jeffrey Melvin lost to Gahanna's Jesse Shivener 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 in a quarterfinal.
"I thought we might sneak another guy or two through there," coach Amos Allison said. "We left everything on the court. In singles, we fought our butt off and laid it all out there. We played great to get four through (district)."

The Belligerent Reader
What I mean is this: when someone talks a book up to me, and then gives it to me to read (or I find it on my own on account of their recommendation), I tend to read it like this:
"Oh yeah? Prove it!"
If I just pick up a book on my own and read it, I'll probably enjoy it. I have very broad tastes, and I enjoy most of the books that I read -- the vast bulk of them, in fact. But if somebody tells me that a book is amazingly good, or changed their life, or is luminously brilliant, the odds are good that I won't like it. I may, in fact, actively dislike it (which is different from just not liking something -- this is where it gets personal).
It's very contrary of me and I don't know why I do it.
Now I'm worried that I'm missing out on books which actually are amazing.
How do you react to books you've heard great things about? Do you read them and expect greatness? Or do you read belligerently, expecting them to fail?
11 comments:
For the most part, I avoid books that are suggested to me, which seems slightly odd considering that part of maintaining a book blog is to at some point suggest a book for someone else to read. But book's like The Kite Runner or anything by Phillipa Gregory I have been avoiding because of the hype. Why I do this, I don't know.

Interesting question! For me, it depends on the source. I have two friends who are always spot on with their recommendations for me. I have other friends whose recommendations I sometimes like, sometimes not.
Recently I've realized that I am impatient with the touted writers of my generation -- I really didn't like Then We Came to the End or The Savage Detectives, mostly didn't like Man Gone Down and am not sure about Oscar Wao yet. They seem too self-absorbed and the references too "clever" (trying to show off, etc.). So, maybe I am a belligerent reader w/ regard to my peers!

I generally know which of my friends can suggest books I will like and which can suggest books that are horrid, and I will often take the advice of some trusted fellow book-bloggers/LibraryThing members over my friends, probably mostly because they are actually explaining why they liked something in detail, instead of just saying "this is amazing." I'm very hesitant about "amazing." Books that are routinely called "amazing" I will avoid unless I've read and enjoyed something else by the same author.

Some days I feel just the same about books. Especially at the library, I'm always getting recommendations. One reason I haven't read the Kite Runner. Probably stupid of me, but I don't like being told what to do...
- April 22, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Like you, whenever somebody tells me a book is good.... I seem to not like it. Or it's okay, but I can't get into it. The exceptions are book reviews online. I don't know, maybe it's the fact that I don't personally know the recommender.

Great question! I have high hopes for hyped books so get more disappointed if I don't enjoy them! Sometimes I like to read them to see why the hype - like with Harry Potter - but I loved those books. I read the Stephanie Meyer trilogy before I realised there was mega hype about them - I really enjoyed them but think the hype might have put me off. I think it really depends who recommends the book and how much they wax lyrical about it before I read it :)
- April 22, 2008 at 9:53 PM
So...if I have a friend who reacts the same way as you...what's the best way to get them to read a book?
- April 23, 2008 at 2:53 AM
hahaha, you just don't like Snow do you just 'cause I said it was amazing and threw it at you.
- April 23, 2008 at 6:00 PM
I have this with music, but not books. Perhaps because any foo' can "recommend" dreck to you; and most people think they have great taste in music when they really do not! Books, not so much, because not everyone thinks they are a competent arbiter of things literary, so the crap is already filtered out to some degree.
I'm a belligerent contrarian when it comes to actually discussing something -- art, ideas, politics, whatever. But books -- not so much. I tend to evaluate books on their own merits (I think!), and I'm seldom disappointed by a book recommendation. Of course, this could also be a function of the friends you keep. If your tastes align, or if they are perceptive readers, you too will tend to enjoy what they enjoy.
Sometimes I find my belligerent scepticism "carrying over" into a book recommendation from a friend, but almost always it is dispelled quickly when the book itself weaves its spell.
- April 24, 2008 at 6:01 AM
Not only do I "read belligerently", sometimes I won't read the book at all. This happened with the Harry Potter series, initially. I didn't get around to reading any of them until a few months after the fifth book came out because everybody and their mother kept saying "Oh! You really MUST read these books!" Bleh. I almost didn't make it past the first chapter of the first book, but I thought I might as well read at least one whole book in the series. Now I like them. (I'm this way with a lot of things, including movies. I still haven't seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies because of it.)
That's why I just tend to put it on my "To Be Read list" and, more importantly, NOT list where the suggestion came from.

I may not have a green thumb, but I have discovered a hidden talent that has amazed even me: my ability to cook! Having a tendency to be brutally honest about myself, I've told many a friend that, while I'm happy to bring a salad or a bread to a dinner party, baking is not my calling at all. However, higher powers (which are known by some as the "call of chocolate") have determined that I will, once in a while, be forced to bake anyways. And last night, I made a dessert that I simply must brag about. Yes, it is that awesome.
What you will need:
1. Box of brownie mix
2. Eggs, water, and oil called for on the brownie box
3. 8-oz. container of whipped topping, thawed
4. 1 box of instant chocolate pudding
5. 1 jar (4-6 oz.) of caramel topping
6. 2 rolls of Rolos candies
Make and bake the brownies as directed. While the brownies are baking, whisk together the whipped topping and caramel (you will also add the pudding, but wait until you are ready to use it, as the pudding causes the substance to become very thick.) When the brownies are finished, allow them to cool for a minute (or longer, if you have more patience than I do.)
To layer the trifle:
-- Use 1/2 of the baked brownies as your bottom layer.
-- Add several of the Rolos (I used 6) on top of the brownies {this is especially wonderful if you use the brownies when they are hot -- the candies melt!}
-- Pour the caramel/whipped topping/pudding layer on top
To finish the recipe off, I added 5 Rolos on top as decoration.
My notes:
* This is an extremely rich dessert. Be sure to have milk handy.
* My husband suggested that I use vanilla pudding instead of chocolate next time, which is a marvelous idea.
* Next time, I may try cream cheese instead of whipped topping.
Doesn't it sound awesome?? (And just so you know, by reading this recipe, you have gained two pounds - sorry.) :-)
As always, comments are encouraged, and please send me any recipes you think are worth trying! I'm always looking for more!!
~ Sarah
|* This is NOT a picture of my trifle -- I found it
on the internet. However, this looks very similar
to mine. Unfortunately, my husband and I attacked
the poor dessert like beasts before I even had
a chance to snap a photo. Next time, I promise. ;-)

Article title
Dějiny, současnost a perspektivy rekonstrukčních map
Selected contents from this journal
Title variants
Languages of publication
Reconstruction maps and cartographic models are commonly used as methods and resources of scientific research (historical, geographical, archaeological, urban etc.) and tools used for processing results of scientific work. The term 'reconstruction maps' started to be used for topic-based maps including historical ones and is commonly used in the professional 'non-cartographic' community. Reconstruction maps have their own genesis and history. We can find maps of this type in historical atlases from the 18th century. At present there is an immense number of reconstruction maps published independently, in atlases or as parts of scientific studies and publications; at the same time, new maps are being created. There is no or completely insufficient registration system of these works. A reconstruction map shows results of research by means of modern methods based on another general geographic and cartographic work, mostly a modern one, but possibly an old one too. Simply said, the term 'reconstruction map' covers in various types of topic-based maps focused on historical matters (archaeological, historical, historical-geographical etc. maps). A reconstruction map is not a cartographic 'terminus technicus', cartographic terminological dictionaries do not know this term and so they do not list it. The thing is that the map reconstructs processes or phenomena which occurred in the past and for the reconstruction modern cartographic tools are used. Archaeologists, historians, historical geographers, ethnologists, people responsible for the preservation of cultural heritage and other specialists use the term 'reconstruction map'. This term is known by specialists in many other disciplines, such as geography, historical geography, geoinformatics, architecture, urbanism, landscape ecology and others. A 'reconstruction map' is, unlike a historical map, a broader term. A 'historical map' is a cartographic 'terminus technicus'. It ranks among topic-based maps, and this could include maps of various social phenomena provided we sort maps according to their contents. The term historical map is also used in connection with historical atlases for schools and the public, and in connection with the popularisation of history. It has its own history reaching back to the 18th century when the first historical atlases were created. Reconstruction maps became an integral part of historical work and research in other related disciplines. What are their prospects? We can expect that in the process of creating reconstruction map, more and more scientific methods will be used. Besides, philosophical aspects of the relationship between people and landscape will be emphasized and we can expect ecological approach to be employed when dealing with issues from the late 20th century. It is beyond doubt that computer simulation and interactive, dynamic electronic maps will be increasingly used in the process of creating reconstruction maps. National as well as professional literature and cooperation with other fields of science provide inspiration for work with reconstruction maps.

Discover your means around the sentimental and also bloody land of the sugar mill in L4D2. Inning accordance with a few on the internet leaks, we should be looking at a 2016 release date for Left 4 Dead 3. Nevertheless, seeing as we have actually had no main confirmation from Valve as well as we're currently a substantial way through the year, we're expecting to see Left 4 Dead 3 launch sometime in 2017 - if not later.
Into the Dead could be a person action video game wherever gamers can step into the footwear of a survivor of the zombie apocalypse World Wellness Organization is quickly taking off today space, that is totally overrun by game is regulated exploitation your device's determining device, consequently if you turn your phone to 1 aspect, right into the dead 2 mod apk your character could head in one instructions as well as if you tilt it to the other aspect, (right into the dead 2.3.2 mod apk) he can go the other technique.
Into The Dead 2 mod apk
Initially we got the GTA Online: Doomsday Heist, and also now Superstar is giving us one more unique reward through a gold Double-Action Revolver. The FN SCAR-L is called the "Desert Rifle" or "Battle Rifle" in-game as well as holds an impractical 60 rounds of ammo despite the fact that it's designed with a 30 round STANAG publication (same as the M16's, though it appears much larger, due to normally messed up proportions of the gun's design), and also fires in a three-shot burst (which real SCAR-Ls do not have).
Into The Dead 2 online generator
I don't want to oversell it, however this is just one of the best weeks absolutely free games on the iOS App Shop in navigate here months. In the very same feeling, a game so focused on adeptly paced participating action might well star a group of nameless, voiceless personalities that just exist to possess shotguns, so it's additional testament to the great characterizations in Left 4 Dead 2 that I intend to also trouble presenting Nick, Rochelle, Coach, as well as Ellis They're a mangy team equally as remarkable as the first game's team-perhaps even more so thanks to Coach's big, world-weary witticisms as well as Ellis' relentless Southern-fried yammering.
As in the initial Left 4 Dead, Survivors will regularly stumble upon "Upsurge Occasions" where a system or item should be triggered in order to set off some kind of event (such as calling a lift ), which then brings in a crowd of Contaminated that the Survivors need to resist for a specific size of time before being allowed to progress.

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine, has presented new developments on radiommunotherapy to find cures for HIV, at an annually held meeting, for the Radiological Society of North America. Researchers have found that radiommunotheraphy (RIT), holds the potential to remove lingering HIV infections.
Globally, millions of adults are affected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). All patients receive antiretroviral therapy to try and combat the infection. This works to keep the virus from duplicating. However, it does not provide a cure for people with the disease, as some of the HIV-infected cells remain in the body.
Reports have stated that they are still looking for a cure to completely eliminate all the HIV-infected cells, rather than just slowing their progression. However, the difficulty comes with attempting to find a way to do this, without damaging healthy cells.
RIT, which became famous for treating cancer, is where radioactive isotopes attach themselves to antibodies. They then select a target, and destroy cells. After these antibodies have transported the radioisotope to their target, the radioisotope projects a lethal dose of radiation. Targeted cells are such that are infected with cancer, or disease-causing microbes.
The research presented by Albert Einstein College of Medicine, has developed radiommunotherapy to find a cure for HIV, by looking at Dr. Dadachova's previous work, which showed that RIT could successfully target without harming healthy cells. It proves that RIT could successfully target and eliminate human immune cells infected with HIV.
During the experiment, blood samples were gathered from 15 HIV patients, who had been treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The results showed that RIT was able to selectively kill HAART-treated lymphocytes. This enabled the HIV infection to be reduced to untraceable levels in most samples.
Dr. Dadachova stated that radioimmunotherapy could not only destroy HIV-infected cells in blood samples, but also within the central nervous system. This, she explained, offers a real potential for the advancement of finding a cure for HIV.
As the Albert Einstein research team try to find cures for HIV, they also investigated whether RIT could reach infected cells within the brain and central nervous system. The anti-retroviral drugs that are currently used, do not sufficiently penetrate the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier is an arrangement of blood vessels that prevent detrimental substances passing into the brain, which is the reason many victims of HIV, treated by HAART, experience cognitive impairment.
The team exhibited how the same radiolabeled antibodies used in previous investigations, could eliminate HIV-infected cells in the brain, without injuring the barrier. Radioimmunotherapy can therefore, kill HIV-infected blood cells that have received antiretroviral treatment, and cells within the central nervous system. This shows that RIT offers real potential for being developed into a cure for HIV.
It is a worldwide problem, and is commonly caught by having sex without a condom. It can be passed on by sharing needles or other injecting equipment, and can also be spread through a mother to her child during pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding. The virus violates the immune system, and weakens the capacity to fight infections and disease.
The final stage is Aids, where the body is unable to fight off life-threatening infections. However, with early diagnosis and effective treatment, many people escape this development. As the Albert Einstein College of Medicine make developments on Radiommunotherapy, a cure for the HIV epidemic may soon be provided.

Ready for the weekend...
I made it to Total Body Tuesday and really pushed myself. It felt good though. I took my neighbor with me and she basically said she wanted to throw up during the class. LOL I actually thought it was easier than usual. Maybe I'm not a wimp afterall... I did, however, wake up Wednesday intent on doing NOTHING physical. I was wiped out and my muscles were aching.
This morning I woke up early and decided to take the kids and the new dog to a local park and walk while it was still fairly cool. I did about 2 miles. Nothing crazy, but still some activity. The poor dog was beat by the end. Afterwards we hung out at the playground and then I did a Starbucks run.
I met my dad for Sushi (Thank you Corrie for graciously watching my rugrats) for a late Father's Day lunch. I've already got chicken marinading in the frig for dinner.
Here's my tracker so far today:
Banana: 2 pts
granola bar: 3 pts
Mocha: 3 pts
Sushi!: 7 pts
Little fried rice: 2 pt
Tea: 2 pts
Random Blow Pop: 1pts
Grilled Chicken: 3 pts
Broccoli: 0
brown rice: 3 pts
Total: 26 pts
APs: -2 pts
24 pts!
I counted that twice. Yep, 24 pts! So I have 4 pt to work with. I need to stay under 28 pts today. I've been a piggy lately. Looks like I need to get some fruit in. Maybe a smoothie this afternoon...
Off to pack for our weekend!
What are you doing this weekend all you lurking blog readers?

KALAMAZOO — What is better than watching a walk-off three-run homer at Comerica Park?
How about hearing your name announced throughout the stadium and then have 40,000-plus Detroit fans applaud your service to our country.
Matt Mayer, a 2001 Petoskey graduate, had both experiences in a single day at a recent Tiger game.
Mayer, a 13-year Army veteran and just returning from his first tour of duty in Afghanistan, was selected to deliver the game's first pitch ball to the mound at Comerica Park during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics.
The Detroit Tigers Game Ball Delivery Program, honors a returning verteran as they deliver the ball to the mound before each home game.
"A group of us from the 507th Engineer Batallion in Kalamazoo contacted the Tigers before we left for Afghanistan to see if we could be a part the program," Mayer said. "They said that such a program does not exist, but they do have a program for returning veterans, and that is how I was selected."
"It was really an incredible day," Mayer said. "To hear your name announced, and then to have all those people applaud, it was really amazing."
Mayer, a Warrant Officer candidate, was able to take his 4-year- old son, Trevyn, to the mound with him.
"He is a quiet, shy kid," Mayer said. "But, it was pretty neat to walk with him and see his stunned reaction to the cheering."
Mayer's wife, Julie, who is expecting the couple's third child was not able to attend, but Mayer had plenty of family with him that included his brothers, sister-in-law and parents.
Andy Mayer, Matt's older brother and a 1998 Petoskey grad, accompanied Matt through the tunnel and onto the field.
"It was amazing to hear the public adress announcer talk about Matt, his service, and the crowd applaud," Andy Mayer said. "It was just an amazing experience for all of us."
Mayer, who has also served on an observation tour in Egypt, was in line with his son to run around the bases when the Tigers' Torii Hunter ended the game with a three-run home run to give the Tigers a 7-6 win.
"We could hear the roar of the crowd, and ran to look when Hunter hit the home run," Mayer said. "It was a great day from start to finish."

I had a little rest over the weekend but I am back in the swing with a 20 miler today and yesterday. Yesterday I took it easy and felt like I hadn't been out at all. I had to go slow because I was keeping an eye on my progress on the GPS app on my phone which was nestling in a phone handling contraption I had just received from Hong Kong via Ebay. I was also distracted by my pulse rate displayed on a wristwatch type thingy receiving wireless messages from my Lidl heart monitor. No, its not the size - it's the shop. Add this to the wireless computer and I am up there pushing back the frontiers of modern, more like 20 years old, technology. I'm just glad the various messages didn't get mixed up, or did they? I did notice a slight headache at the end.
The ride today was pretty quick. I really pushed hard up the hills and I felt it in the legs when I finished. It would have been quicker but it was late afternoon when I went out and I got caught up in a lot of rush hour traffic. The roadworks on the way back didn't help either.
I'll have a day off the bike tomorrow and fit the new front bags, together with a kick stand I bought today. I'll get fully loaded for a long slow ride on Thursday up to Preston and home the long way round via Southport, Formby, Aintree and the East Lancs Rd, about 70 miles in all. Six hours should do it including stops. I just hope I get back in one piece and don't fall asleep during the Thursday session. Maybe the sound of the pork scratchings will arouse me.
This is the story of my cycling adventures abroad together with records of training and preparation. The second and most recent ride will hopefully commence on 28th May 2013. The first took place between April 10th and May 26th 2012. It all starts at the bottom, the Blog that is. Scroll down for recent posts and click for even "Older Posts".

Does image stabilisation re-write the rules on tripod selection?
You decide to go out and buy a tripod. You have money in your hot little hand. You know that to get sharp shots you need a tripod capable of holding steady the most demanding camera and lens combination in your bag (normally the camera with the lens on that overhangs most). Let's say that you are prepared to lug around a substantial weight in order to get those sharp shots. You buy a well made all metal or metal and carbon fibre tripod at significant expense. But are you sure you really needed to?
Here's a thought. Many photographers who have bought lenses in the last few years will have several with image stabilisation (IS). Later model image stabilisation is tripod detecting, and can be left active while on a tripod (don't try this with the earlier type IS). In fact, with that in mind is it possible that the role of the tripod could have changed? If the tripod should happen to have a degree of flexibility, would the IS cut in and compensate?
What I am suggesting is this. If all but your very widest lenses have the later version of IS (or if it exists within the camera body as it does with some makes) the role of the tripod changes from something that should hold the camera and lens completely still, to a device to restrict the movement of the camera and lens to limits within which the IS can compensate for any remaining movement. In that situation you may be able to produce sharp shots with the aid of a tripod that is not capable of keeping the camera fully still in all conditions.
Now I think it is very important to clarify that I am not suggeting that this is the ideal situation, or that you should trade in your lovely beefy three-legger for a lesser model. My point is that maybe you can now take a smaller lighter tripod with you where before you would not have been prepared to carry a more solid (and heavy) one. All the other precautions of weighting the tripod, using mirror lockup and self timer/remote release still apply of course.
The tripod that I have been using in just these situations is one from the Benro Travel Angel range, and my comparison tests have shown that with all but very long exposures of several seconds the combination of light tripod and IS gets the results. Do your own tests to see what works for you.

Sphinx under Pharaoh in the Twilight Zone; A woman will always be Laaila.
"I fall upon thorns of life; I bleed". (Shelley)
Desperately struggling, against the waves of oceans. Heading to, what seems like shores of peace and preservation. She saw a boat, a sign of life. She trusted what she saw, believed in, what she heard. All promises, all lies. All destined to be broken. The scratches left the scars on heart, she dreamt these, .....be the lines, .... the bridle of her destiny. But then they said that, "fools be never blessed".
Sadly, we will always be in a 'Coma' or 'Inertia'. We will always keep diverting attention from the problems, we cannot solve or even understand. Now, in fact, Most of us are against the idea of women's participation in the process of completion of the mentle faculty of mankind and the cosmos, in any form. That's the way our for-fathers evolved from the jungle-life to the civilized one; to keep women inferior and be ruled. We are against women's participation in the worldly activities, we are against Nature? A class of men want to rule them but without engaging in a compitition. What a pity, that, in this age of space and internet, women are still a thing chained to the ambitions of the powerful. When will these strong be ashamed of their strength? Why should life be worth living when all the heroic values in it have been permitted to decay? ........ " The gravel path has left me with the sour feet".
"Men reign the elephants and employee the tigers" is indeed the proof enough to prove that men are bigger than the elephants and stronger than the tigers. BUT "a 'Tigress' always rule the pinnacle of the brain of the tiger.
"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive". (Sir Walter scott) The problem started when men, in the pre-historic era, interested in taking control of the Universe, started to rule the 'Jungle' abusing the power-theory of strong and weak. They made the woman a "Princess". She was tricked and "traped".
The nuns who never take a bath without puting on a bathrobe, when asked why, reply: " Oh, but you forget the good God." Apparently they conceive of the diety as a Peeping Tom, whose omnipotence enables Him to see through bathroom walls, but whose vision can be obstructed by bathrobes. Aristotle, inspite of being a reputed philosopher, looks absurd, when he says that if people marry too young, their children will be female, that the blood of females is blacker than that of males; that women have fewer teeth than men. Plato says that, " men who do not persue wisdom in this life, will be reincarnated as women". Untill very recently, it was universally believed that men are congenitally more intelligent than women; even as enlightened a man as Spinoza decides against women's right to vote on this ground. But all these do not make one laugh any more, for we live in a world, full of nonsenses and things more intolerable.
Every advancement in civilization has been denounced as un-natural. This sort of absurdity always arises when one group of human beings is supposed to be, inherently, better than the other. A girl has always been convinced of male superiority; this male prestige is not a childish mirage; it has economical and social foundations; men are surely masters of the wild world. But one man's wilderness is another man's theme park, only, if the argument of the sophists is used against the Sophists. It's always easier to defeat a self-contradictory phenomena.
Up to the age of twelve, the little girl is as strong as her brothers, and she shows the same mental powers; there is no field where she is debarred from engaging in competitions with them. If well before puberty and sometimes even from early infancy, she seems to us to be already sexually determined, this is not because mysterious instincts directly doom her to passivity, coquetry, maternity; it is because the influence of social order upon the child is almost from the start and thus she is indoctrinated with her vocation from her earliest years.
This is just where the little girls first appear as privileged beings. A second weaning, less brutal and more gradual than the first, withdraws the mother's body from the child's embraces; but the boys, especially, are little by little denied the kisses and caresses they have been used to. As for the little girl, she continues to be cajoled, she is allowed to cling to her mother's skirts, her father takes her on his knee and strokes her hair. She wears sweet little dresses, her tears and caprices are viewed indulgently, her hair is carefully done, older people are amused at her expressions and coquetries - bodily contacts and agreeable glances protect her from the anguish of solitude.
The little boy, in contrast, is denied even coquetry; his efforts and enticements, his play-acting, are considered irritating. He is told that; A man does not ask to be kissed; A man does not look at himself in the mirrors; A man does not cry. He is urged to be a "Little Man". He will obtain adult approval by becoming independent of adults. He will please them by not appearing to seek to please them. People consider him superior; he is himself swallen with pride in his manhood; so the girl invites him and feel frustrated.
She is deprived of happy freedom, the carefree aspect of childhood. Having become preconsciously a woman, she learns all too soon the limitations this estate emposes upon a human being. And a child overburdened with work may well become prematurely a slave, doomed to a joyless existence. She enjoys sharing responsibility with adult women. "She, already, is a little woman". Because the sphere, to which she belongs, is limited and dominated, by the male universe; high as she may raise herself, far as she may venture, there will always be a ceiling over her head, walls that will block her way.
The boy has an ulter ego, in whome, he sees himself. The little boy can boldly assume an attitude of subjectivity; the very object, in to which he projects himself, becomes a symbol of autonomy, of transcendence, of power. He finds every thing for that in his own body which become ground for satisfaction and challenge. But the little girl can not incarnate herself in any part of herself. To compensate for this and to serve her alter ego, she is given a foreign object; a doll. She thinks of herself as a marvellous doll. By means of compliments and scolding, through images and words, she learns the meanings of the terms pretty and plain. She soon learns that in order to be pleasing, she must be "pretty as a picture"; she tries to make herself look like a lieless picture. She puts on fancy clothes, she studies herself in a mirror, she compares herself with princesses and fairies.
This narcissism enters so unconsciously in the little girl's mind that it plays a fundamental role in her later life as a woman, that it is easy to regard it as a mysterious feminine instinct. Thus the passivity that is the essential charachteristic of the 'feminine' woman is a trait that develops in her from the earliest years. It is a fate imposed upon her by her teachers and by society.
The great advantage, enjoyed by the boy, is that his mode of existence in relation to others leads him to assert his subjective freedom. His apprenticeship for life consists in free movement towards the outside world. Climbing trees, fighting with his companions, facing them in rough games, he is aware of his body as a means for dominating nature. He takes pride in his muscles as in his sex. In games, sports, fights, challenges, trials of strengths, he finds a balanced exercise of his powers. At the same time he absorbs the severe lessons of violence. He learns from an early age to take blows, to scorn pain, to keep back the tears. He undertakes, he invents, he dares.
In woman, on the contrary, there is a conflict between her autonomous existence and her objective self, her 'being the other'. She is taught that to be happy herself, she must try to please others. She must make herself object. She should, therefore, denounce her autonomy.
Among boys, climbing is a basis for challenge. But the little girl sees triumphant boys high above herself and feels that she is, body and soul, their inferior. She becomes a stranger to herself because she is a stranger to the rest of the world. At home, she sees clearly, that the father's wishes come first.
The culture, to which she belongs, the songs and legends with which she is lulled to sleep, are one long exaltation of man. It was man who built up Greece, the Roman Empire, France and all other nations, who have explored the world and invented the tools for its exploitation. Who have governed it. Who have filled it with sculptures, paintings, works of litrature. Eve was not created for her own sake but as a companion for Adam and she was made from his rib. There are few women in the Bible of really high renown; Ruth did no more than find herself a husband. Esther obtained favour for the Jews by kneeling before Ahasuerus. The godesses of Pagan mythology are frivolous or capricious and they all tremble before Jupiter. While Prometheus magnificantly steals fire from the sun, Pandora opens her box of evils upon the world.
In songs and stories the young man is seen departing adventurously in search of woman. He slays the dragon. He battles giants. She is locked in a tower, a palace, a garden, a cave. She is chained to a rock, a captive, sound asleep. She waits.
It is through the eyes of men that the little girl discovers the worlds and read therein her destiny. She learns that to be happy she must be loved. Thus a vicious circle is formed. For the less she exercises her freedom to understand and discover the world, the less resources will she find within herself, the less will she dare to affirm herself as subject. If she were encouraged in it, she could display the same lively exuberance, the same curiosity and the same initiative as a boy. It is noteworthy that this is the kind of education a father prefers to give his daughter that determines the attitude of a girl.
The traditional women folk play their role with same cruelty. The daughter is, for the mother, at once her duplicate and another person. The mother is at once over weeningly affectionate and hostile towards her daughter. She saddles her child with her own destiny; a way of proudly laying claim to her own femininity and also a way of revenging herself for it. So, when a child comes under their care, women apply themselves to changing her to a woman like themselves. Even a generous mother, who sincerely seeks her child's welfare, will as a rule think that it is wiser to make a "True Woman" of her. They forget that, "Tragedy is a tool for living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live". ~ Robert Kennedy
She is entrusted to female teachers, she lives among the older women as in the days of the Greek gymnasium. The treasures of feminine wisdom are poured in to her ears, feminine virtues are urged upon her. She is taught cooking, sewing and house keeping. She is told not to act like a would-be-boy. She is not allowed to fight. She must not loose her femininity.
Women, being the objects of the strongest emotions, have been viewed even more irrationally than the poor or the subject nations. I am talking not of what poets have to say but of the sober opinions of men who imagine themselves rational. Men like Aristotle and Plato, even, justified slavery so long as the master is Greek and the slave a barbarian. So it is difficult, indeed, for a woman to act on a plane of equality with men as long as this euality is not universally recognised and concretely realised. As long as complete economic equality is not realised in society and as long as the mores authorise women to benefit as wife or mistress from the privileges held by certain men, so long will her dream of unearned success remain and hamper her own accomplishment.
"Man...is a tame or civilized animal; never the less, he requires proper instruction and a fortunate nature, and then of all animals he becomes the most divine and most civilized; but if he be insufficiently or ill- educated he is the most savage of earthly creatures." ~(Plato)

Give Up Tomorrow
Spain 2012, 1h 35min.
Philippines: Paco Larrañaga and six others risk spending their lives in prison, based on a verdict that this film suggests is a miscarriage of justice. Will this film help free Paco? The directors tell DoX about their work on the film.
Imagine fifteen years of your life – and counting – in which you have been imprisoned, away from your home, away from your family and friends, your young life abruptly interrupted. And you are innocent of the charges against you. In 1997, on the island of Cebu in the Philippines, two sisters, both in their early 20s, went missing. To this day, their bodies have never been recovered. On the evening of their disappearance, 19-year-old Paco Larrañaga, a culinary arts student, was hundreds of miles away in Manila at a party with friends. Nonetheless, he – along with a group of other young men who were nowhere near the scene of the crime – was summarily rounded up, arrested and charged with the rapes and murders of the sisters.
Paco Larrañaga, in particular, was essentially tried and convicted by the local Filipino tabloid press before his trial was over; the court of law sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole and without letting him testify in his own defense. After having his sentence transferred, Larrañaga is currently incarcerated in a maximumsecurity prison in Spain. Paco's father is Spanish and the family asked the Spanish government for help when a death sentence was handed down by the Philippine courts in 2004. Human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, Fair Trials International, and the United Nations, as well as the Government of Spain, have all unequivocally gone on record as saying that Paco's case has been a gross miscarriage of justice. Whatever the outcome of their fight to free him, it is almost certain that he will never be able to return to his homeland and live in peace. In that same year (1997), Michael Collins moved to New York City after graduating from art school in upstate New York where he studied computer animation, photography and video. A few years later, he met partner, Marty Syjuco, a relative of Paco's by marriage. Syjuco knew very little about the case at the time; once in a while, a few cloudy details would emerge about something that had happened to his brother's wife's younger sibling. In 2004, when Paco's life sentence was elevated to the death penalty, Syjuco's brother, Jamie, panicked and helpless, asked the two men for assistance. Collins explains:
«it is a filmmaker's imperative to create a work of such power that viewers walk out of the film unable to shake off the story»
"Jamie asked me to create an animation for a website that would illustrate some of the injustices that had happened during the trial. I needed to learn about the case, to discover whether I felt that Paco was innocent, or not. I asked him to send me some information. He sent me a letter from the 'Unheard35,' the witnesses who weren't allowed to testify who were with Paco the night of the girls' disappearance. This is what they had started to call themselves. Point by point, the letter describes what happened, whom they were with in Manila, the photographs that were taken. They had gone to court and the judge did not let them testify. They had gone to the media, but no one in the press cared to listen to them. And there's Paco sitting on death row. It was so heartbreaking, the way they described in detail the injustice of it all. Paco was exactly my age – he was 19 when he was arrested, and this was seven years later. For the past seven years of his life he had been in prison; seven years before that moment, I had moved myself to New York City." Reading this letter was the genesis of a long journey for Collins and Syjuco in making their award-winning feature-length documentary, Give Up Tomorrow: "We just knew that this story had to be told. It was mind-blowing, like a Kafka novel, the kind of thing you couldn't even dream up."
The duo's debut feature film is currently screening at international festivals around the globe. This past July, the film played as part of the Human Rights Dox competition at Dokufest in Prizren, Kosova. One of the first things they discussed with DOX was how important it was, at the outset, for them to craft a meticulous and deeply researched film that would help shed light on Paco's case. However, they emphasized that what was even more important was to make a good movie, one that would supply intense emotional depth and a profound connection for viewers. They knew, even as novice filmmakers, that "by making a good film, the truth would emerge and that people would align themselves with the cause and want to fight this injustice the same way we did." It's all well and good to bandy about the term "films that change the world," but in the face of such a cruel twist of fate that happens to involve a real flesh-and-blood human being and his family, it is a filmmaker's imperative to not only craft an airtight case with all the pertinent details intact and crystal clear, but to create a work of such power that viewers walk out of the film unable to shake off the story. There are some films that have had a profound impact on the culture on which they've focused, and Give Up Tomorrow, will prove to be one of them. Not only because of the distinct intention on the part of the filmmakers to bring an injustice to light, affect laws, forward certain ideologies, and generally change the course of history through their film's impact, but also due to their intention to make an outstanding film. For, in essence, it is only this expertly crafted document that can garner worldwide attention and, possibly, instigate change in a timely manner for a man who has been wrongfully imprisoned.
A large part of what makes Give Up Tomorrow so resonant is not necessarily the portrayal of its main protagonist, as charismatic and powerful a screen presence as Paco is. It is the two women to whom Collins ultimately gives intense focus, Paco's mother, Mrs. Larrañaga, and the mother of the disappeared girls, Mrs. Chong. This choice was a very smart one, for through the portrayals of these women, the film finds its most powerful emotional through-line. The two mothers become parallel touchstones, not just in terms of Filipino culture, but also the bizarre and surreal circumstances in which they find themselves, as they and their families move through immense personal trauma over the course of many years. It firmly grounds the story in the universal realm of family.
However, in trying to achieve a delicate balance between good filmmaking and social justice imperatives, one can only deal with pure emotion for so long. Sooner or later, it all needs to be contextualized so that it doesn't devolve into pure soap opera. Collins told DOX: "That was definitely the biggest challenge – how to have both a complex plot-driven film, and a characterdriven film. That's when we went back to our experiences shooting in the Philippines, those moments when I'd come home after shooting with these women and be emotionally exhausted.
They were so victimized, both the Chong and Larrañaga families. If we've allowed people to experience walking in their shoes just for a bit, then we've done our job." And will this film help free Paco, as the filmmakers hope it will? Two weeks before coming to the Balkans, Collins and Syjuco visited the now 34-year-old man in Spain, with a copy of the film in hand. After viewing it, Paco turned to them and said: "That film is going to get me out of here." He also told the filmmakers that the previous night, after he had watched their film, had been the best night's sleep he'd had since his arrest fifteen years ago.
Could we go even further and say that, perhaps, other cases like Paco's might get a second look because of this film? "We wanted to make a film that would sustain itself over years, one that would keep being watched. In terms of helping other people in similar predicaments, it is our belief that it absolutely can" says Collins. "It's about the media and what happens when it goes unchecked, when it doesn't do its job, which is mainly that of safeguarding human rights. It's about what happens when the courts are corrupt and the police force doesn't have the means to conduct a proper investigation. When there's corruption running rampant in those areas, then none of us is safe."

...Not sure what happened on that last video, but by the time I even could get the first one uploaded I didn't care as much. Ran into a bit of a snag with youtube so I decided not to use them. I'm sure you all have had the WMG problem, so I don't have to explain that. Sorry, but I wanted some music in the videos. The really bad thing is that not one piece that was used in them is the entire song, just bits and pieces. It really stinks that you work for hours or more on a video and then run into these problems. I did find ways people might have around it but I was not about to even try to give youtube a second or third chance when I am sitting here waiting for 50 minutes at a time just to upload one video...lame.
Anyway, Here is a pic of Alric with his sword he picked up...rather shocking....I'd say!
I haven't had time for much of anything else today with the problems this morning. But I did get a chance to make a quick pic for everyone's favorite Necromancer, My two Storm wizards posed with their unicorns at Emeraldflame's house, in front of the Unicorn Statue there:
...I think they are "ready to frolic!" :D
I also did work on Luis for a little bit. He is up to level 17 now, I believe. He got his Fire trap at 16 and his Vampire spell...nice to have something that works most of the time when you got Fire as your main. I also bought him the Fire trap amulet with the 35% traps...that is an absolute "must have" for any good fire wizard!

Celebrities 16 Musicians Who Were Electrocuted on Stage

Kate Sharma
May 4 - According to reports, Tamil film director V Ganesha Reddy has signed on Kate Sharma in the lead role for his film Chandragiri which is based on the lives of the historical Kings of Chandragiri and Vijaynagara – Peda Venkata Raya, Venkatapathy Rayulu and his nephew Sri Rangarayulu who ruled Chandragiri during the 1600s.
Is Kate Sharma Star With Veteran Filmmaker Kamal Haasan in Ganesha Reddy's Chandragiri Tamil Movie?
The Panvel-based, 19-year-old teenager, Kate Sharma was crowned the Miss Pune Selfie Queen after defeating about 70 other participants from Pune and surrounding areas in an online pageant conducted by PageantsWorld.com.
She earlier completed her schooling from Ulhasnagar and B.Com from the Mumbai University to pursue her dreams of modeling and acting. The pageant Miss Pune Online 2016 and Miss Pune Selfie Queen is organised by Bollywood news portal IndyaNewz.com, Rainbow TeleFilms India and PageantsWorld.com. Kate was also voted the selfie queen in a sub-contest of the same event.
Kate Sharma
Sources said that Reddy has approached veteran actor, director, producer and filmmaker Kamal Hassan to play a prominent lead role in his forthcoming big-budget film Chandragiri, While Reddy is confident of roping in the south superstar for his mega project, Kamal Hassan who is busy with his other assignments is yet to sign on the dotted line, say sources.
While director V Ganesha Reddy who is producing the film under this new banner Smiling Turtles Productions confirmed that Kate Sharma has been signed on for Chandragiri, the model said she was looking forward to the project. "Yes we have signed on Kate Sharma for a trilogy – series of three films or sequels which will be made within three years. Kate Sharma is now under a 3-year contract with Smiling Turtles Productions and will be working with us on three projects, Reddy said.
Speaking to media persons in Chennai, Reddy said Chandragiri is a big-budget film and will be made at an estimated budget of Rs 180 to 240 crore. Shooting is expected to commence in June this year and will be completely within 4-5 months. The film is pegged for a February or March 2017 release, Reddy revealed.
Chandragiri is famous for the historical fort, built in the 11th century, and the Raja Mahal Palace within it. Chandragiri was under the rule of the Yadava Naidus for about three centuries and came under the control of Vijayanagar rulers in 1367. It came into prominence during the reign of Saluva Narasimha Rayalu. Chandragiri was the 4th capital of the Vijayanagar Empire. Rayas shifted the capital to Chandragiri when the Golconda sultans attacked Penukonda. In 1646, the fort was annexed to the Golkonda territory and subsequently came under Mysore rule. It went into oblivion from 1792 onward. The fort encircles eight ruined temples of Saivite and Vaishnavite pantheons, Raja Mahal, Rani Mahal and other ruined structures.
The Raja Mahal Palace is now an archaeological museum. The palace is an example of Indo-Sarcen architecture of the Vijayanagar period. The crowning towers represents the Hindu architectural elements. The palace was constructed using stone, brick, lime mortar and devoid of timber.

Collateral "Midnight Queen" (Country Rock) UK
It is no secret, Americans love their Rock music. And, we do not care if it is coming from our roots here in the USA or from our sister country England, if that Rock Music puts the metal to the blood, we will give a hoo-rah!
Well, guys, here's a Hoo-rah!!!
I have been treated with that type of Rock music by a band hailing from the UK called Collateral (formally The Angelo Tristan Band). They are giving us music that elevates, expands, and blows your mind.
Collateral's newest release off Roulette Media is entitled "Midnight Queen" and it's a little bit of Country and a whole lot of Rock and I love it!
The lyrical theme of "Midnight Queen" speaks about a femme fatal that makes an impression on her male observer with her "slow motion walk" and teasing tresses – and that is not all the gifts she's got – this woman rules the midnight with pride, rebelliousness, and sex appeal making her a "Midnight Queen."
And while the serious lyrics that spell out this theme alone makes for a song that will be a well-received Global hit, it's Collateral's execution and music expertise that is setting "Midnight Queen" up to become a mainstream chart fixture.
Collectively, this track holds wild guitars, weighty drums, and a Jon Bon Jovi meets Steven Tyler vocal prowess. And if that is not enough, at the two minute / forty-five second mark (three minute / four second mark on video), get ready for a metallic spinal tap from a Slash-worthy guitar solo that leads into the outro with the front-man killing it with those drop dead gorgeous vocals.
Mastered by Grammy nominee Robin Shmittz, "Midnight Queen" drops today 5/11/18.
So, guys? Guys? I am serious, you do not want to miss this train – stop staring and come aboard!
And as a bonus, you may get to see the guys perform live as they are headlining at "Nightclub Kolis" (The Lounge) in Camden on May 12th, so you can check the guys out – just promise not to fall in love!
"Lights out" guys!

TCU MBAs JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO LUNCH WITH COLLEEN BARRETT AT SOUTHWEST AIRLINES
The President Emeritus Proves that Being Nice Can Lead to Success
The Golden Rule is evident everywhere at Southwest Airlines, from CEOs to employees to customers.
"We hire for attitude and train for skills," said Colleen Barrett, speaking to second-year TCU MBA students at the Dallas headquarters of Southwest Airlines. "Our number one customer is our employees. We provide an enjoyable environment, the tools to do their job, respect, an open give-and-take, and we listen. Our people are clearly our best asset."
"Walking through the hallways at SWA it was instantly apparent that the place is abuzz with a family oriented culture," said TCU MBA student Zach Skelton. "Upon stepping inside, it felt comfortable and apparent to even the most casual of observers that the employees truly enjoy working there. Then we had the privileged opportunity to hear Colleen (she wouldn't allow anyone to refer to her as Mrs. Barrett) reflect upon her years at Southwest and describe how the culture evolved into one that most companies strive for but rarely achieve."Barrett and several other executives discussed Southwest's Leadership Expectations. They live and work the Southwest Way: with a warrior spirit, a servant's heart and a fun-loving attitude.
"The only time we are arrogant is when it comes t our jobs," said Barrett. "We have hundreds of applicants for one job because people want to work here, they want to be part of something bigger and better."
"Colleen exudes a sense of motherly love for her employees and refers to each and every one of them as her children," said Zach.
She spoke about the start of SWA and how she and Herb Kelleher had absolutely no knowledge of the airline industry going in. But it was the warrior sense, loving attitude and golden rule approach to management that made Southwest into the successful organization that it is today.
"Her stories of overcoming the many obstacles they encountered in the beginning really allowed us as students to realize that an opportunity may be around any corner, and that determination and the desire to succeed can overcome any hurdle," said Zach.
Barrett also answered questions. Students asked her about technology challenges since 9-11, how she became a lifetime member of the union (by treating labor groups as part of the family), and if there was an event in her life that made her so passionate about people (her mother instilled in her the Golden Rule).
"It was exciting to see and hear someone with her character, demeanor and personality who is so successful and connects with people," said TCU MBA student Eva Graham. "This is not something you typically see in a business setting. It was affirming to me that I can be successful and thrive if I find the right environment."
TCU MBA student Daniel Graham said that when he researched the company and Colleen to prepare for the visit, he saw videos of her talking to classrooms full of hundreds of MBA students at a time.
"We were so lucky that Graduate Career Service Center arranged for us to come here to Southwest," he said. "All 18 of us got to meet and talk to Colleen, have our picture taken with her and have our questions answered in a very personal way, and she's one of the top business leaders in the world!"
The trip was part of the Graduate Career Service Center's newest program, Neeley Connections. TCU MBA students travel to corporations to meet with executives and recruiters. They visited FritoLay in the Fall, and future trips are scheduled for Ericsson (February 19), Lockheed Martin (March 26) and DFW International Airport (April 16).

The Chronicle is reporting that Newcastle are keeping tabs on young Rennes forward Paul-Georges Ntep, who we have been linked with for over a year now, and the player was at QPR last January when he was still at Auxerre, and the other club said to be interested at that time was Newcastle United.
Paul-Georges Ntep – Newcastle watching him last night?
In fact earlier this year a number of clubs were said to be interested in the 22 year-old, who has played for all the French Youth sides, and the clubs interested in him included Arsenal, Roma, Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City, Queens Park Rangers and Newcastle.
Paul-Georges Ntep did not join QPR (or Newcastle for that matter), but instead joined Rennes in January, on a three and a half year deal, and so far he has made 62 appearances for the French club with 20 goals and 7 assists, which is a good record for the left winger.
Newcastle scouts were apparently at the Euro U21 play-off qualifier between France and Sweden last night, which France won 2-0, and Ntep was in the starting line-up and played the whole game.
Also in the starting line-up was one of our former midfield targets 21 year-old Florian Thauvin, so maybe we were (also) watching him.
We have to believe that Graham Carr and the scouting team are out there busy watching players we can bring into the squad in January, because if we are still lingering near the bottom of the league, we will need ample reinforcements if we are to successfully fight against relegation.
Maybe Newcastle are looking at Thauvin to add some creativity to the side, but Ntep is a very good goal scoring winger- and we really need both creativity and goal scorers in January – as well as defensive reinforcements.
Thauvin is now sadly too expensive for Newcastle, and he signed on at Marseilles just over a year ago on a five year deal for €20M (£15.7M) – so we lost out on our chance to sign Florian, when he was younger and cheaper.
The 21 year-old technically gifted player has played 26 games for Marseilles with 11 goals and 6 assists.

the debate over weather or not mbiwa was a decent player we will just not know, players do very well in one league but awful in a different one, cabaye is an example we see at the minute. players can look very good in some teams but hey might have world class players around them, england players look great when playing for club but awful when combined and also a player can fit in very well at some clubs but others will not be the correct choice for them, torres chelsea, cabaye PSG, enrique and carroll liverpool.
we might not know his strengths in this league but what we will know is 3 people made things difficult for him and they were ashley, colo and pardew.
1. colo and ashley- colo we know wants to return to argentina, the problem he faced was ashley being a greedy g1t wanting more than argentinian teams would offer, if colo was really so desperate for a move why not hand in a request that way he would have stood much greater chance of leaving.
2. colo and pardew- pardew knows colo will not be happy sitting on the bench after being made to remain at the club, colo and mbiwa were not a good partnership as non were that strong in the air. He might have been captain but the stuff happing back home would not have made it easy for colo to captain the team, we also had a great vice captain tiote. Jonas is back in argentina at the minute, HBA could do what ever he wanted whilst injured so why didn't pardew just allow colo to return home and give willo and mbiwa the spot.
pardew and ashley- the games mbiwa did get a start in were poor ones but them games had him playing as FB not CB, we did only have 1 RB at the club and still do, if ashley had not been so greedy we might have been able to buy a second FB, we see lots of CB do poor at FB so pardew is such a clown expecting mbiwa to be any good as a FB.
Putting us to shame those rangers fans and he doesn't even own them outright.
Buying goods at SD, running it through the till then offering a quid was fcuking genius lol.
The stores had to employ extra security so therefore must of knew there was demonstrations planned that day. Who said fatty isn't arsed, who said he doesn't read or take notice of paper's?
He's been here 7 years and we still let him take the piss! Perhaps a few of our fans groups can get together and do similar. The skin isn't as thick as it seemed is it!
Was about to post the same article as Belfast / Avrg Ctnts as a an example of direct action and actually doing something that has impact. I saw the following article yesterday which showed how even a League 2 side with very little budget are able to galvanise the club and supporters around a 'brand', not an advertising logo.
Tremendous effort by Rangers fans in SD and Cruise shops. Supporters enetered the shops and selected various items -let them be rung through the till -then offered a £1 (which is what Tubbs bought the naming rights for).
Few posters with spivs out on displayed as well.
Mr Tubbs will not be a happy bunny.
Are you saying that an effective protest against SD could rebound on us?
I have been concerned at this for years but most on here don't worry.
If campaigns like Time4change and Sackpardew continue their war of attrition it divides fans spoils games and just drags on.
Rangers may have hit on a way to bring about real and effective dialogue if not immediate change.NUFC need to do more than copy action effective as a flash mob in the Toon would
LD be. This type of action needs to set the agenda for future protest.
Ashley may look for vengeance but he will also have to be cute not simply vindictive or he will kill the golden goose.
Possibly a high risk strategy for the very reason Ashley will take notice and no one knows what he will do. Will Bishop urge calm and will he listen?
