Milan derby, Mancini's mentality, Beckham is back, more
Sunday night's Milan derby left two enduring impressions. The rossoneri are still growing but there's a long way to go, especially in certain areas of the pitch. And if you're an Inter fan, you shudder to think where the team would be this year without the signing of Samir Handanovic.
Milan dominated the first half and could easily have scored three or four, if not for Handanovic's heroics. Inter simply had no answer, particularly down Milan's left, where Mattia De Sciglio and Stephan El Shaarawy ran rampant. (Take note: Both are 20 years old and both provide energy and quality; exactly what Milan need.) Mario Balotelli was sharp in his movement but less so in his finishing. You can imagine how emotional a night it was for him, so perhaps you can understand it.
Of course, a fair chunk of Milan's early dominance was down to Inter. As we've said so many times in the past, Andrea Stramaccioni has very little to work with and what little he does have has been curtailed by injuries. But the idea that Fredy Guarin and Yuto Nagatomo could line up wide left and contain Milan looked far-fetched. About as far-fetched as the notion that Ricky Alvarez would have an impact. Or that Antonio Cassano -- at his age and with his physical problems -- could play five games in 14 days (all but one for 90 minutes) and not suffer as a result.
Things improved when Stramaccioni moved Guarin back to a central position and sent on Ezequiel Schelotto. Inter got their equalizer, in part because Milan didn't kill the game in the first half, and because they seemed to run out of gas in the second and also due to Philippe Mexes having another one of his mental lapses.
- Paul: Milan held by Inter
- Report: Racist chants at Balotelli
Milan's take-home, though, is ultimately positive. The weaknesses are still there and they are obvious, but there are plenty of guys who are young, on the right track and -- presumably -- will only get better. Get Riccardo Montolivo some help in midfield, sort out the central defense and there's no reason the rossoneri can't be competitive very soon.
For Inter it's more complicated. A spot in next season's Champions League is just a few points away, tantalizingly close and, for obvious reasons (commercial ones too), they need to pursue it. At the same time, you need to think about the future. There will come a point, probably in March, where it will make most sense to throw in the kids and give them a shot. Ibrahima Mbaye, Simone Pasa, Marco Benassi, Luca Garritano, Mateo Kovacic ... let's find out how good they really are.
Mancini not mincing words
It's really not that hard to understand why Roberto Mancini won't, on occasion, be shy about criticizing his players. It's a direct result of his own experience from his playing days. In fact, it's an almost biblical world view. Think of the Parable of the Talents: The more you have in terms of gifts and ability, the more you have to give.
And so he'll come out and tell the world that Samir Nasri didn't play well enough, that Joe Hart can be much better than he is or that, if he only had Robin Van Persie, his team would be much, much better, which can be read as an indirect swipe at Edin Dzeko and Carlos Tevez.
Mancini does this because it reflects his own unique experience as a player. He was the most talented guy on just about every team he played for, including the Italian national team (OK, when Roberto Baggio was around, some might argue he was a close second). Both at Sampdoria and at Lazio he felt the responsibility of stepping up, of carrying the team and he felt it was almost like some kind of birthright. He didn't always succeed, of course, particularly in an Italy shirt, but the mantra was always the same: Those who are better need to do more.
- Jolly: Mancini wins war of embattled bosses
- Hirshey: Mancini, why don't you quit now?
This horrifies some people, not least because they argue that it undermines a player's confidence. If the manager doesn't think he's good enough, then surely he won't be good enough. And, besides, most top managers don't single out individuals for public criticism.
That's one way to look at it. Or you can look at it from Mancini's point of view. You're better, you need to step up and you need to be a difference maker. Do I have confidence in you? I'm confident you *can* do it, I'm just not confident you *will* do it.
Indeed, while Mancini would probably never admit it, when he looks at his own career he might also note a bunch of instances where he could and should have done more. And where, perhaps, had he been less molly-coddled by some people he might have achieved more.
It obviously doesn't work for everyone and Mancini's critics will accuse him of deflecting blame on to his players. But it's also worth noting that he generally reserves such treatment not for the likes of Gareth Barry or James Milner or Pablo Zabaleta -- whose natural gifts are what they are and who generally produce to the limit of their ability -- but for those who are obviously more skillful.
Obviously time will tell whether this approach works. What's clear to me though is that it's not just a case of a manager throwing a hissy fit and throwing his players under a bus, but at its core, it's very much in line with how Mancini sees the game and his own experience as a player.
C'est bien Beckham
Where David Beckham goes, hype follows. Yep, we get it. For his debut -- on the bench -- Paris St. Germain's owners summoned none other than Ronaldo (the Brazilian one: For the Portuguese version we'll see what happens in the summer) to add further glamour to the proceedings.
It was easy to forget that what was at stake was whether Marseille could continue to make it a genuine three horse race in Ligue 1. We got our answer: Probably not. PSG hit early and late and, in between, despite often leaving the initiative to their opponents, carved out some of the more dangerous chances.
It was a mature performance (lest we forget, they were without Thiago Silva and Mamadou Sakho in central defence), made more encouraging by the fact that, after months in the wilderness, Javier Pastore and Ezequiel Lavezzi look as if they're pulling their weight. Lyon won at Lorient to stay three points back, while Marseille, now eight behind, look out of the running. Carlo Ancelotti would love to get to the head-to-head clash with Lyon at the Stade Gerland on May 11 without it being decisive for the title. If they keep playing like last night and Lyon relent a little, he'll get his wish.
Oh, you're probably wondering about that Beckham guy. He came on with 15 minutes to go, hit a couple neat passes, made one run down the flank and started the sequence which led to PSG's second goal in injury time. You're not going to judge him -- football-wise -- on that, but the sense is that PSG got themselves a veteran cool head who can steady things when needed. In that sense, he's a definite plus.
No clean sheet at Camp Nou
Barring some massive cataclysm or act of God, Barcelona will win La Liga this year, but then you already knew that. How you read Saturday's 2-1 comeback against Seville depends on whether you're a "glass half-full" or "glass half-empty" type of guy.
Half-full? Barcelona started without Carles Puyol, Adriano, Jordi Alba, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Busquets, Pedro and Xavi and still found the way to come from behind and win against an opponent who knows how to make life tough for them. More importantly, the inclusion of David Villa (who notched the equalizer) and, from halftime, Christian Tello gave Barca the kind of directness and cutting edge which has been lacking of late.
Half-empty? Well, Sevilla are in mid-table with little to play for and clearly had an eye on the return leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal against Atletico Madrid in midweek, which is why Alvaro Negredo stayed on the bench until the last half-hour.
But the worrying bit is that, for the 11th straight game, Barca failed to keep a clean sheet. With the double clash with Real Madrid coming up next -- in La Liga and the Copa del Rey –- you can see that run extending to 13 straight. And that does not bode well for the return leg against Milan in the Champions League. Give up a goal against the rossoneri and Barca need to score four. Doable, yes, but far from straightforward.
Swansea, thy cup runneth over
You can't plan on winning knockout competitions because, by their very nature, they are unpredictable. But Swansea's victory in the League Cup is probably one of the very few things that has not been planned by the meticulous Welsh club in the past seven years.
Swansea's rise is a testament to "best practice." They have a clear club philosophy. They are wonderfully organized and they don't make the manager omnipotent, which makes it far easier to weather the storm when you make a change at the top (and, given their success, a club like Swansea is bound to lose managers as they move on to bigger clubs). They are 20-percent owned by their Supporters' Trust, which means fans have a direct say in -- and, just as important, inside knowledge of -- how the club is run. When it comes to signing players, there are no preconceived notions or prejudices. Their squad includes foreigners savvily plucked abroad, veterans who have been with the team since the days of League 2, homegrown youngsters and guys picked up from lower division sides.
The result of all this is good football and mid-table stability. Plus, the occasional history-making moment. Like Sunday afternoon.
Sao Paolo: Sudamericana champs, finally
It took nearly 10 weeks, but Sao Paulo have finally been confirmed as winners of the Copa Sudamericana. The return leg of the final against Argentina's Tigre was marred by fighting on the pitch and in the dressing room and accusations of heavy-handed methods by the local police, to the point that Tigre refused to play the second half. Both teams have been fined $100,000 and Sao Paulo were handed a one-match home ban in South American club competitions.
CONMEBOL aren't an investigative body; they could only do so much in terms of definitively establishing what happened that day. We can only hope they did enough to ensure that this kind of thing never happens again.
But don't hold your breath.

Fuchs' dystrophy (fooks DIS-truh-fee) is an uncommon, slowly progressive disorder that affects the cornea — the transparent front surface of your eye. Fuchs' dystrophy is a type of corneal dystrophy, a group of conditions that may cause a hazy deposit to build up over the cornea.
Normally, the cells that line the back surface (endothelium) of the cornea prevent excess fluid from accumulating. This helps the cornea maintain its transparency. But with Fuchs' dystrophy, those endothelial cells slowly deteriorate, lose function and die. As a result, fluid builds up in the cornea. This may cause swelling, cloudy vision, pain and loss of corneal transparency.
Although the cause of Fuchs' dystrophy is unknown, it may be inherited. Treatments, including surgery, are available for Fuchs' dystrophy.

Fresh vegetables! ... on a nippy October morning. Man alive!
Out to get the morning paper, it wasn't until I came back up the drive and into the carport that I noticed three plastic bags stuffed with all sorts of stuff hanging on the doorknob.
What first caught my eye was a half-dozen or so lovely red tomatoes. "Gotta go to Winn-Dixie and pick up a pack of that $10 thick-sliced Wright's bacon," was my first thought.
There was more.
A nice "mess" of green beans, all sorts of peppers, and (gasp) fresh collards.
On the phone, I went looking for the stranger who loves beggars.
My first thought was Joe Hays, a buddy who lives over the hill and keeps me in tomatoes during the summer.
"Not me," said Joe. "All I've had lately were just a few small tomatoes, hard as a rock. Put out some late ones, the rain got 'em.
My next guess was Richard Shipman, a really nice guy who spends his days in an Alabama Power Company bucket truck trouble-shooting problems. We're buddies and sometimes he drops by with tomatoes.
"Not me," said Richard.
Then I called a sister who has a son-in-law who loves the dirt about as much as Joe Hays. His name is Dale Cox.
"Couldn't have been Dale," she said. "He didn't even have a garden this year."
(I'm still in a bit of a shock over that one.)
Finally, there was Oscar, as in Robertson, next door.
Another: "Nope, wasn't me."
Now, to whomever it was who put that two dollars in the beggar's cup on the way to my house with all that nourishment for my body as well as soul:
"Thank you, thank you, thank you ..."
Except for the collards. Didn't like collards as a boy, didn't like collards as a father, don't like collards as a grandfather. The blonde loves them, so does Julia Burton (one of the great ladies I've ever known). And I had barely put the collards on the kitchen counter when Julia started washing and the blonde got out a big pot for water and a touch of salt.
An old story by the late Bert Lance came to mind.
Lance, at the time a banker in Calhoun, Ga., had a farming friend I'll call Fred. Lance would loan Fred money to make his crop. Fred would come in to pay up in October.
On this particular visit, Fred invited Lance to "supper Saturday night. The wife will cook us up something special."
Lance accepted.
"When I walked in, Fred's wife was frying chitlins and boiling collards. It's the only place I'd ever been where the flies were trying to get out of the house."
With that memory and another memory of collards cooking at my grandmother's house, I told the two that "There's a gas burner on the grill outside. Cook those things out there."
They did.
But after about 30 minutes it came to me I could smell the collards cooking just walking across the patio. It also occurred to me that a backyard abundant with God's creatures was as silent as a funeral home parlor before visitation.
With that, I rest my case.
From this beggar I thank you very much for the tomatoes, the green beans, the peppers. The blonde and Julia thank you for the collards.
I don't.
There is one other thing. After cooking the collards on a windy and chilly patio, the blonde suggested that next time I "might need a rubber mattress for my barn for a couple of nights."
Collards in, me out ...

text: Hi, I am installing a full bath in my basement and I am working on picking up a vent line from a 1st floor bathroom sink. I need to run the new vent line approx. 20 feet to where the 1st floor sink is. This also requires 4 direction changes (90 deg bends) to get from the new bath location up to the floor joist in the basement ceiling and then around pipes and other obstructions in the floor joists (through 5 joist spans) before I get to the existing sink vent location. Are there any restrictions on direction changes in vent lines before I tie into the existing 1-1/2"? Thanks.

Wish I bought a different one
By military daughter
from boston, ma
Comments about Personalized Flag Display Case:
I can't believe none of the reviews talk about the paper tape on the front and back of the glass, it's impossible to remove.Name plate engraving isn't deep and pronounced enough. Finally found the nameplate on the front of the shipping box after reading other reviews here.Very sad with my purchase. Wanted to honor my dad with his flag and this surely isn't the way.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Excellent engraving and quality
By Pammy57

About Me Homeowner, Professional
This flag case was bought, to put my husband's grandfather's military funeral flag in. I was very impressed that WD offered an extra line of engraving, and to be able to put his last ranking-Brig.Gen., next to the branch of service. It is of good quality for the price, and will be displayed in the living room, next to a potrait of him.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend
Very well done

I bought this case for a 5' x 9.5' veteran's burial flag.It was the perfect size. The wood has a nice rich color to it.
A nice display, and safe storage.

My first ever to puchase, and Walter Drake provided such an item.
Looks Nice
By Jane
from San Juan
It took a while for the product to arrive, but it looked nice for it's purpose. Haven't put the flag inside yet, so I don't know if it fits well. Certainly hope so. The case looks good and so does the plate. It would be nice to include instructions on how to fold the flag in a triangular shape.
Excellent product

Flag Case missing nameplate
By Donna Marie
from Brooksville, FL
I ordered it to display my father's flag, as it matched the one he had for his father. It came with the instructions how to open it INSIDE the flag case, and the engraved name plate never made it on the case, nor was it anywhere in the box. I am upset, as that was one of the reasons it was supposed to take so long to ship, yet it didn't come as promised.

Dead Stars
A Novel
Bruce Wagner - Author
add to cart
- Hardcover: $35.00 add to cart
"Dead Stars is the London Fields of Los Angeles, the Ulysses of TMZ culture—an immensely literate, fearsomely interior novel about people who are neither." —Tom Bissell, GQ
At age thirteen, Telma is famous as the world's youngest breast cancer survivor until threatened with obscurity by a four-year-old who's just undergone a mastectomy…. Reeyonna believes that auditioning for pregnant teenage porn will help fulfill her dream of befriending Kanye West…. Jackie, a photographer once celebrated for arty nudes of her young daughter, is working at a Sears Family Portrait boutique…. And Oscar-winning Michael Douglas searches for meaning while his wife, Catherine, guest-stars on Glee.
Moving forward with the inexorable force of a tsunami, Dead Stars is Bruce Wagner's most lavish and remarkable translation yet of the national zeitgeist: post-privacy porn culture, a Kardashianworld of rapid-cycling, disposable narrative where reality-show triumph is the new American narcotic.
Disclaimer: Please be advised that this excerpt contains adult content.
Dancing With The Stars
He was in LA, in preproduction on a film. Catherine was shooting a Fosse-themed Glee. Ryan told him that a guest stint by Catherine had been in play long before Michael sent his fan letter.
. . . .
He met the little cancer gal & her mom for tea at the Peninsula.
Then he did something that surprised him.
Michael told the driver to take him to the little cemetery in Westwood where his half-brother was buried. (He didn't question his instincts anymore.) Anyway, now was as good a time as any to pay his respects to the dead; he wasn't able to make the Reaper's recent gala, and had respectfully RSVP'd his regrets. He'd be attending soon enough.
The actor's asst called the park to make sure he wouldn't be disrupting a funeral by his presence. The coast was clear. A caretaker met him at the car & walked him to Eric's flat stone. The mood of that shitty day—Eric's funeral—washed over him. He knelt a moment, running a finger over the grass on the grave.
The actor meandered through the modestly-scaled tombs. It felt like a minefield. He stepped over, around & in-between the engraved invitations in a superstitious foxtrot (or minuet, holding Death's hand like a child without knowing it), which was more or less what he'd done with cancer—with sure foot and unwavering eye, he picked his way through the cellsplitting grunge & muck that tried to abduct and to claim him, to snatch him back whence he came like an incensed parent denied custody. The fuckers on the Internet who laid virtual money that his time was nigh had already lost their shirts. He felt like Keith Richards. He'd outlive all the jackals, & have kicks along the way.
Everyone knew that Marilyn was buried here but as he walked and surveyed, the profusion of showbiz dead surprised him. His dad's time was well-represented: Malden & Matthau, Leigh, Lancaster, Lemmon. The manicured morgue was as eclectic as a guest list off the old Tonight Show—Capote, Coburn, Cassavetes—Gene Kelly, Don Knotts, Merv. Dominick Dunne's murdered daughter was here and he wondered why Nick buried himself in Connecticut instead of with his child. Michael couldn't bear the thought of being separated from his children, even in death. He shook his head at the Zappa & Joplin markers . . . unfuckingreal.
He soft-shoed between Natalie Wood and Billy Wilder, suddenly standing over Farrah. That was a tough death. It was one thing to go on Letterman and tell the world the cat got your tongue, & entirely another to announce the cat crawled up your ass and died and was taking you with it. In those first frightening months, MD thought of her a lot. He watched her documentary—all in all, a damn brave girl. Hella courage. And to have them film you like that, hella courage all around. He remembered something a friend said when the family was vacationing in Fiji. They were floating in a coral reef when a small, black&white-banded snake swam between his legs and disappeared. His buddy told him it was poisonous but not to worry, it had no interest in human beings. Michael asked where the hospital was, if you happened to get bit. "You could drive to the clinic in town," he answered, "but I wouldn't recommend it. It wouldn't be the best use of the hour you had left."
MD wondered how he'd behave in the face of losing numbers: that was the real Hitch-22. (Jesus, losing Christopher was a loss. What giantsized balls the man had.) He knew the producer in him—the warrior—would never want to concede, but the actor just might . . . He agonized over the question: When do you stop NetJetting to clinics in Switzerland, South Africa, Brazil for experimental treatment? When the only result is twitter rape, videos of your emaciated bodyhusk struggling in and out of vans, your haunted, anguished huffin and puffin visage HuffPosted to the world. Ryan O'Neal had stayed by her side, steadfast & true. MD laughed a little, thinking: he won't be by my side, least not if I can help it. There were so many things you'd lose control of once you crossed a certain threshold . . . Ryan had leukemia himself, for the last ten years, same type Ali had in Love Story. And now he's got prostate. It's Cancer's world, we just live in it. At least Ryan was still alive. Wasn't he? He headed toward the car, pausing at another stone:
Strange. He wondered if the mom had written it. Maybe. In a raging delirium of grief, no doubt.
Star 80 was probably Fosse's best film. His most director-like film, anyway.
She was only twenty. Star 20 . . . . . . . . . .
Some were made like his dad, royal tortoises mobb deep in guardian angels, while others breathed ICU nursery O2-tank air for a few mayfly minutes before expiration.
One needn't be a philosopher to grasp the insignificance of temporal goings-on; one needn't even be pretentious (tho sometimes that helped). In the design of things, there was utterly no significance in whether you lived an hour, a year or a hundred years—the span of human life was cloud graffiti. Michael couldn't remember the context, but one of his doctors in Montreal used a wonderful word, blessure, which meant injury to tissue, a break in the skin. (The actor rearranged it in his head as "surely blessed.") Last night as he fell asleep, he meditated. If every soul who'd ever lived and died on Earth—Yahoo! put it just over 100 billion—were to suddenly manifest & vaporize, the Unknown would have no more awareness of the thunderous lamentations accompanying their collective outgoing breath than an insect would have knowledge of a microblog devoted to its industrious ways. The unfathomable cessation would incur no celestial blessure, the Ineffable not suffer the slightest bruising whatsoever. Something he read in his college days at UC Santa Barbara stayed with him all these years, something one did have to be a philosopher to have said, or philosopher-poet, anyway. "Life is the rarest form of death." Wasn't that wild? The old joke of life being a near-death experience. Was that George Carlin? Or Mr. Nietzsche?
MD came out the other side of his catastrophe with the firm belief that cancer was his teacher. Cancer had urged him to accept (or die trying) earthly life for the dream it was—fleeting, as they say, tho such a perception seemed impossible to achieve (if one could call it an achievement) for anyone but saints, idiots & visionaries. Yet since the diagnosis, he strove to live in that blissful, acquiescent state, that unreachable cliché of presence in the moment, yes, in this moment, not moments past or moments to come. This moment was all he had. In this moment, he was alive & cancer-free. In this moment, from a cemetery, he conjured his wife, beckoning. In this moment, he could see his children crying, laughing, sleeping. In this moment, he had more money than he could spend in a hundred lifetimes.
By the time a too-close bird ended his train of thought, the actor's tour was almost done. It wouldn't have been complete without Marilyn.
The plaque on the drawer of the cinerarium bore only her name, and the year of birth & death. Thirty-six years-old at the age of blessure . . . A long time ago, a businessman bought the space right above her. He told his wife to make sure they buried him facedown, in the missionary position—just for the kamikaze cosmo-comic eterno-skeleto-fuck jokey thrill of it—an inspired wish that his widow evidently wryly carried out. Then bogeyman Madoff swindled her and she had to auction off the spectral fuckpad penthouse, she got five million for it (if memory served) & buried him elsewhere— exhumation in flagrante postmortem delicto. It was common pop-cult knowledge that's where Hef was going, years ago he bought the crib beneath Monroe, so he could properly stick his candle in the wind. Karma was a funny thing: Norma Jean was molested as a child, & she'd be molested in the afterlife. It was ironic too that Dorothy Stratten always wanted to hang at the Playboy Mansion; now, Marilyn and Hef would be partying, with Dorothy just outside the gate, for all eternity.
The Wheel of Karma kept on turning.
MD understood those people who thought burial was for squares, for whom cremation was the magic word—to be sprinkled here & there, over the ground or into the wind & water of a place one loved. He understood the feelings of those who were stingy/proprietary about recycling theirs or loved ones' organs, even those who thought there might be bad voodoo in signing the donor's form on the back of a driver's license. He understood how a person could feel in their untransplanted heart that mutilation—that posthumously violent, non- consensual blessure—regardless of the alleviation of the suffering of the living, just wasn't the way to go.
He didn't care about any of that now. They could scoop his eyes & pluck his corneas, whittle his kidneys, grand theft his thorax, fry up his liver, & harvest his skin on a special edition of Piers Morgan. They could tear off cock&balls at the root and laminate them for teaching hospitals. They could feed him to the dogs & piss on him, because by then his soul would be in another dream.
He was over it.
Praise for DEAD STARS by Bruce Wagner
"Written in hyper-hilarious, brilliant prose, [DEAD STARS] renders an obsessive pop-culture nightmare of surprising realism and light, illuminating the meanest corners of its characters'—and our culture's—desperation."
—Publisher's Weekly, STARRED review
"Dead Stars is a tragicomic Hollywood epic: obscene, scandalous, heartbreaking. Best American novel I've read in a year…"
"[T]here are few writers capable of escorting us more convincingly into a character's tender, gnarled mind. Dead Stars, easily Wagner's best and most ambitious novel yet, is a huge, riveting book...every page contains something statically electric enough to scorch the hair from your arms. Dead Stars is the London Fields of Los Angeles, the Ulysses of TMZ culture—an immensely literate, fearsomely interior novel about people who are neither."
—Tom Bissell, GQ
"[DEAD STARS is] not just the best novel about Americans and fame of the past dozen years but the best since Nathanael West's "The Day of the Locust" … We all know the problems that Mr. Wagner is criticizing—we know about the idolization of people who became famous by way of sex tapes; we know about the mind-boggling traffic rates of online pornography; we know about plummeting educational standards and shortening attention spans. Sociologists give us statistics, and pundits write jeremiads. It takes an artist to make us feel the full horror and humanity of the situation."
—Wall Street Journal
"Dead Stars is a manic, hypersexualized take-down of Hollywood wannabes and strivers, a relentless, wickedly funny, pornographic flash on the eddies of fame in the present moment….the book is a total leap, a stylistic satiric attack, a XXX accomplishment. Wagner is often called a Hollywood writer; I'm not sure that's fair. Fame, craven desire, sexuality, art, pornography, literature, envy, disappointment, greed—are these things limited to Hollywood?"
—Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times
"Wagner's prose reads like the lovechild of Hunter S. Thompson and David Foster wallace…The most enjoyable riffs in Dead Stars display Wagner's up-to-the-nanosecond insider's knowledge of the L.A. scene....He also writes some clean, mean, glittery dialogue."
—Lisa Zeidner, The Washington Post

Here's how RW members rated this race (51 votes).
In short: Hopeless organsiersIn full: I was unable to run this race, but Events to Live would not let me swap my place to another of their events. This meant: 1.) I wasted my entry fee and 2.) Someone else on the waiting list was unable to run it. Petty organisers.Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Lovely Sunday morning out! Faultless!In full: Made for hill lovers! Iwill be back!Date of review: June 23, 2013
In short: Great setting, superb event. In full: A really enjoyable and challenging race. It's got a couple of pretty long sustained hills so is a good challenge for the legs! The second hill being a real grinder. It does pay you back in places with some fast downhill and flat bits. A really nice countryside setting and enjoyable trail running at a stunning venue. The organisation was very good, with a cracking piece of metal as your medal. Oh and thanks to the marshalls for the encouragement at every turn. See you next year!Date of review: June 23, 2013
In short: Great race, well organised and good Marshalls. Lots of hills...so would need to up the hill training if you only run on flats.Date of review: June 23, 2013
In short: Lovely place, nice peopleIn full: A well-designed route, with a nice mix of gradient, woods and scenery. Very well organised (the late-opening coffee shack wasn't the organiser's fault, and the National Trust opened their cafe anyway) and a great atmosphere - my thanks to the lady with her kids who I passed three times up the hill at the end, and who was calling out support each time. However, as usual with nearly every non-club-organised race, this race was not actually 10K - my Garmin said 9.8, and I didn't take any shortcuts. Please guys - make the distance you say it's going to be - it's important.Date of review: June 23, 2013
In short: Too many rulesIn full: Race organisers should inform participants BEFORE signing up and paying over their cash about all the rules - I was particularly annoyed not to be allowed to listen to ipod on this one especially as it was off road with no trafficDate of review: June 12, 2013
In short: Beautiful raceIn full: Lovely 10k around the grounds of Polesden Lacey house. I went hoping to get a PB but soon realised that this was a vain hope as the hills started rolling in. A pretty punishing series of inclines which reminded me of cross country courses of my youth. Well marshalled and signed, would very much do it again.Date of review: October 9, 2012
In short: Well organised race in a great location. Will be back next year.Date of review: July 5, 2012
In short: Will be back to see if we can beat the mud next timeIn full: A halfway goal for me towards my first half marathon, this 10K race was my first, and I was surprised by the difficulty of the hills (having been described as undulating, I'd say this was definitely "hilly' but perhaps I have yet to experience worse!). But I still thoroughly enjoyed it, and didn't get too disheartened by having to walk for short periods. Great scenery, and a friendly atmosphere, I didn't feel intimidated as a newbie.Date of review: July 1, 2012
In short: Challenging but fun!In full: This was the 1st 10K I have done and judging by other reviews not a typical one! We had a great day. Organisation was excellent and the marshalls brilliant. Yes it was wet and keeping traction was a problem in some places either up or down the steepest bits. The scenery made up for it however. Thumbs up all round I'd sayDate of review: June 26, 2012

ATC Presents MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM, 10/16-11/28
It's 1927 and Ma Rainey, the Mother of the Blues, strides into a rundown Chicago recording studio to join a battling quartet of musicians. The great playwright August Wilson places this formidable artist at the center of a captivating drama of flamboyant personalities, professional jealousy, and shattered dreams. Directed by Lou Bellamy, Ma Rainey'S BLACK BOTTOM plays in Tucson at the Temple of Music and Art from October 16 through November 6. It continues its run in Phoenix at the Herberger Theater Center from November 11 through November 28. The Tucson media sponsors for the 2010-2011 season are KGUN9, MIX-FM and Tucson Lifestyle. Arizona Theatre Company's season sponsors are I. Michael and Beth Kasser.
A powerful look at the price of fame and the costs of discrimination, Ma Rainey'S BLACK BOTTOM is the play that launched August Wilson into the center of the American theatre.The first of Wilson's plays to reach Broadway, it began his monumental series of ten plays examining the African-American experience in each decade of the twentieth century.The play is a gripping drama from the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright, who gives us a look at a time when even the most legendary singer of her day had to fight for every scrap of respect she could get. Ma Rainey'S BLACK BOTTOM stars a ten-member ensemble of actors with a long list of credits in Wilson's work and features the renowned actor and recording artist Jevetta Steele as Ma Rainey. This play contains mature themes and language.
Ma Rainey'S BLACK BOTTOM is a co-production with Penumbra Theatre Company. After the run at ATC, it will play a special engagement at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis from February 11 through March 6, 2011.
"August Wilson's ten play cycle is one of the greatest achievements in the history of the American theatre," said ATC Artistic Director David Ira Goldstein, "We have previously producEd Wilson's FENCES, SEVEN GUITARS and JITNEY, but have been waiting for years until we could assemble the best possible team of artists to take on Ma Rainey, a particularly rich stew of powerful drama, poetic writing, grand themes and rich characters that requires a special hand at the helm. ATC audiences were bowled over by Lou Bellamy's award-winning productions of JITNEY and A RAISIN IN THE SUN, so I am pleased beyond measure that our friend is returning to direct for us again. Lou has a very unique and special way with Wilson's plays that exposes their deep, shattering power."
Lou Bellamy (Director) returns to Arizona Theatre Company where he directed A Raisin in the Sun and Jitney. He is the founder and artistic director of Penumbra Theatre Company.

Hellstorm of the Third Reich
Forbidden Artifacts of Operation Overlord.
June 1944 Normandy
The Allied armed forces gather and train for the largest invasion in military history and the German war machine prepares defense inside the Atlantic Wall, ready to repel the invaders back into the sea. As the Allied assault grows near, Hitler's forces attempt to move his collection of stolen religious relics from recovery sites and central holding in France to the safety of Berlin.
In these last hours, Allied intelligence operatives learn of the Fuhrer's plans and of the power of these artifacts - the power to conquer the world!
If the Germans turn the power of the artifacts against the Allies, "the Longest Day" of June 6th may well prove to be the "last day" for freedom.

The Business-Savvy Smartphone Review: Nokia E62, BlackBerry Pearl, T-Mobile Dash, Palm Treo 750
CIO compares four of the hottest smartphones available, from the perspective of four experienced IT executives.
Thu, April 26, 2007
RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8100 (Cingular)
The BlackBerry Pearl is not like other BlackBerrys. And that's no accident. But does this consumer-oriented smartphone still work for enterprise users? Despite business-friendly features, one IT executive says he'd buy a Pearl for himself ... but probably not for his IT staff. Find out why.
Research In Motion (RIM) has proven that it can do business phones right. Now it's moving on to bigger things. The handset maker has taken a lesson from Motorola's tiny, ultra-popular RAZR phone, and come up with the BlackBerry Pearl 8100. The Pearl is the first truly small handheld from RIM and the first BlackBerry to include features specifically aimed at consumers.
Because it is so different from other BlackBerrys, the Pearl is making a name for itself in both the trendy consumer space and the unforgiving business world as one of the hottest phones on the market. Named for the pearl-shaped trackball embedded in the center of its keyboard, the device is RIM's first move away from its trademark thumbwheel. The "pearl" is the device's central means of navigation. The handheld was initially offered in the United States by T-Mobile in September 2006, and later by Cingular in December.
To provide an inside perspective of the BlackBerry Pearl, we called on a real IT executive to review the device: Paul Roche, CIO of Network Services Company, a multibillion-dollar distribution organization with more than 400 warehouses located across the United States. Roche is particularly qualified to review the Pearl. His CEO recently came to the IT department with a brand new Pearl of his own, and since nobody else at Network Services used a BlackBerry, Roche had to get the device set up and linked to his network without any of the necessary ingredients in place.
The Bottom Line
The BlackBerry Pearl is without a doubt the most aesthetically pleasing device we reviewed. It is also a completely functional business device due to the high level of security it offers users, as well as its strong battery life and intuitive user interface. However, due to its small size and the lack of a full qwerty keyboard, the Pearl is best suited for users with smaller hands and for those who read lots of e-mail but don't frequently respond. (That should cover most of the managers in your office, unfortunately.) Because of the Pearl's delicacy, it's not suitable for users who carry a phone in their back pockets. (Crunch.)
Roche, together with his vice president of operations, determines which smartphones are deployed across Network Services. Although there are no official feature criteria, a full qwerty keyboard is a necessity, so Roche doesn't plan on deploying more BlackBerry Pearls anytime soon. However, he said, he would purchase it for use as his personal phone.

213 Meeting St, Charleston, SC | Directions 2940132.781546 -79.931789
Monday-Sunday Open at 11:00 AM
Neighborhoods: South of Broad
Gross! – Worst seafood ever. I have had better tasting seafood in the middle of Minnesota! The food is under seasoned, undercooked, and disappointing. The staff gives you the feel that they have more important things to do than wait on a tables. If you eat here you will waste your money.
The family food and staff are amazing – if you ever have visitors from out of town or you are a visitor and want to experience the south and charleston in one place with one fine affordable meal this is the place for you! I love watching my friends try the free boiled peanuts for the first time getting them to try the best fried green tomatoes on the planet and then top it of with them loving my favorite meal there the shrimp Alfredo covered grit cake!!!! Especially my Yankee friends! Once I took a visiting SWAT team from Canada and the owner gave us free samples so they could experience the south that was three years ago and I still get emails from them when they are able to swing by SC just to go visit Hyman's again! When you can please and stuff a table full of hard working police officers after a long day you are cooking and serving right! I love the family walking around meeting everyone.
I can't rave enough about this place :) – We were looking for a great place to end our engagement weekend and had read alot of reviews about Hyman's Seafood went to their website several times to check it out. Hymans is just one block from the Market on Meeting across the street from the Bank of America and Duncan Dounts. Throughout the day we were all over Charleston and we saw people wearing these stickers for Hyman's saying they were raving fans and we knew we just had to go there for dinner. We knew from walking by on our travels the last several days past the restaurant that they always had a line so we waited till 730pm to try to beat the rush, but they were still lined down the street. The restaurant took our name very politely and told us our wait time we walked around their general store and within minutes we were already seated a good twenty minutes before they approximated. We went upstairs to our table and immediately a gentleman walked up to us and said that he had a better table for us in another room because the table we were seated to was a smaller table in the middle of a room so there was a lot less space. From beginning to end our experience was fantastic! All of our meals were very well done and tasted great and we even had a woman in our group with a food allergy and the same gentleman from before came out and helped us decide how to cook her food. I can't rave enough about this place!!!
The staff and owners which we saw were amazing truly makes you feel like home and that you really are valued .
I highly recommend Hyman's it is a must when you are in Charleston!
The best seafood you will eat anywhere in the SOUTH. Very very very very very good food. Service is "ok"...not great, but not bad. The decor, plates, and brass plates at each table is great. You will sit very close to your neighbor.
Hyman's is always excellent!
Always feel welcomed and have a great time
Love coming here – Great Restaurant.
Hyman's – Always like to see what famous person's nameplate is attached to the table. Food is good and owner is personable, but it can be a bit pricey depending on what you order.
I Love this place.
The peanuts are always a treat and all my friends think this is such a great starter. I always feels special when I come here. I am treated like an old family friend that visits because I am loved.

I have an internal network set up with multiple Macs sharing the storage on one RAID. It's basically a SAN, only customized, instead of built by a company.
I'm encountering some issues with PrP CS 6.0.1.
1) I can't export any file over 2GB onto the drive, but I can to the desktop.
2) When importing some QT video files over 100 GB, it crashes when the file comes from the shared drive. But if I import the same exact file from a local drive, it is perfectly smooth.
Any thoughts about this?

Any thoughts about this?
Storing on a network is fine, but run the files from local disks only. Copy them over first.
How did you format the storage on the shared unit?
Jim - That's a good solution for the one-off files over 100GB, as long as I don't have to copy over all the footage I'm using (20TB+).
Eric - I didn't personally do it, but it's a 8-bay tower RAID5 Mac-formatted drive connected to a Mac Pro server via NAS. Then other Macs are connected using eithernet and AFP. Does any that answer your question?
Also, I'm going to do a test by switching from AFP to NFS to see if that solves some of the isuses.
Thanks guys!
I always copy from my shared storage to a local drive.
Ulf - How does your workflow work with multiple editors and TBs of footage? Do you just have a lot of local storage, too?
Did they format the unit in HFS+ Journaled or Non Journaled?
>multiple editors and TBs of footage
I have NO idea of a brand to suggest, but I think you need some kind of network file manager, with a check out/in facility to make sure only ONE person is working on any given clip at any given time
Did they format the unit in HFS+ Journaled or Non Journaled?
as long as I don't have to copy over all the footage I'm using (20TB+).
Yup, all of it. Anything on the server you need to use in a project, copy it over first. It's the best way to guarantee smooth operation using PP at this time.
Jounaling adds meta-data to the table for the volume and that has significant performance hits. Also there are allot of applications now that have issues with Jounaling on volumes so I would suggest you move your data off that volume and re-format it Non Jounaled. Journaling does give you greater protection to recover a volume if you have corruption so there is a trade off. However a decent raid controller should have a good enough Integrity verification process to help prevent the need for that. Just make sure you have the parity or integrity verifications scheduled.

Ulf - How does your workflow work with multiple editors and TBs of footage? Do you just have a lot of local storage, too?
Well, my projects are usualy not nat large, footage wise. The most of my projects are <250 GB so it is quite easy for me to move it from the server to my local working drive. I use shotputpro to offload my cards directly to the server from the same PC every time, and then I can draw the footage out on the others as I please, without touching the original files on the server.
My data localy is on a drive in a HDD-Tray. In this way it is easy for me to swap drives between PC's, and if the client at the end wants me to keep an editable project, I just copy everything to that drive, add the cost of the drive to the bill, and keep it.
This setup works quite good for me, but again, for larger projects with tons of footage, it might not.
Eric - Thanks I'll try that.
Jim/Ulf - I appreciate these tips. If this is the case, though, I'm going to have to completely re-evaluate my workflow. Starting work on a documentary with other editors, and we need shared media files.
Also, the guys at www.biscardicreative.com are using PrP successfully in a shared environment. Do you think they've just engineered their system in a way to make it work? They are telling me that they just can't have the same project open on two machines at once.
It's just odd hearing different things form different editors, but I may just not be connecting all the dots correctly...
Do you think they've just engineered their system in a way to make it work?
Well, Adobe sure hasn't done anything to make it easy yet. So if they got it working well, then someone on their team sure knows networking.
There is a reason for this -- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2586851?start=0&tstart=0
It is something that is a known issue with the way that Apple wants Adobe to use QuickTime. Using a SMB share will work, but AFP will give an error going to files over 2 GB.
And yes, we always recommend working on local files if you can. If you can't, you need to have a rock solid and fast network setup. It's related to the way that video files are processed. To build a video file you create the container then start filling in the video. If there is any type of interruption or slowing in the data flow, the file creation fails.
