In one week.....The Beach Boys, Neil Young and now...David Bowie. I wrote about the first two already and wasn't blown away by neither of them. Beautiful moments indeed, but poor choices mars (not Mars) each. And then I get this Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars remastered disc in the mail, celebrating the 40 year anniversary of the release and damn...it's a keeper. What a smooth move to not go in and do some new fangled sounds, but to take a classic album and sonically clean it up with studio pixie dust.
(I could probably include Paul Simon's Graceland remaster as well in this post, but then it wouldn't be a trilogy and I'd have to change the title so I'll keep it the way I started it.)
David Bowie. Nothing to do with roots music or Americana or surf or acoustic or folk. Glitter and glam fairy (a Jerseylicious reference) rock from the early seventies that is as anti-anti as anything we here at No Dep-ville say that we like. Some of you must be cringing this wasted space that we could best be using for more about Neil or Bob or Gram or Alejandro or Townes or any number of our hunky dory heroes (a Bowie reference).
But once upon a time when I was just a young Deadhead before they even came up with that term, the east coast promotion man for RCA Records laid tickets on me for every night - three of them in a row - that Bowie debuted Ziggy and The Spiders from Mars, with Mott The Hoople opening up for them. Long haired, denim bells and cowboy boots...I didn't quite fit in with the boys and girls in dresses and makeup that lined up outside the Tower Theater in Upper Darby. I thought I was going to some stupid concert, but I walked into a movement. Glam. Wham. Bam.
Mott blew the hair off my back and were one of the most powerful bands I'd ever seen live. And when Bowie comes out in just a suit with a sax around his neck to play on "All The Young Dudes" it was a dark cherry chocolate moment. Rich and deep sound as the walls pulsed in and out. Electricity in the air and then the theater went dark for a moment, the lights came up and they were gone. And we waited for the man.
Except for a carnival sideshow I went to as a little kid and saw a two-headed man, bearded lady and lizard skinned kid, Bowie in full Ziggy regalia was as if...as if...as if...he had just landed from Mars. A strange alien creature. The Dead and New Riders and the Stones and the Byrds and Gram and Pete Seeger and Dylan and Spooky Tooth and Duane Allman....none of those guys looked like David Bowie. They just played music. Ok....maybe Alice Cooper, the Fugs and Mothers and a few others were hitting up mommy's closet too, but nothing like this. And here it is almost 40 years ago and I can remember every note, every song, every move. I was transfixed and bewildered and no...I didn't trade in my acoustic and stop playing bluegrass and folk music. But I was psychedelicized by the performances.
Now let me tell you about Dynaflex. RCA called it a "flexible formulation" that made your records lay flatter on the turntable. Less breakage and warping. And, oh by the way, much lighter and cheaper to ship. And the funny little secret about this disc was that the plastic shrink wrap would tighten up and actually increase warpage...making your record look like a post-modern ashtray made in high school pottery class. And it made the sound go wah wah wah wah wah. From 1969 to 1980 those little Nippers' at RCA pushed it on us like heroin in Needle Park.
So to the point or stylus if you must: 40 years after the fact we have a remastered Ziggy album released that sounds the way it's supposed to sound and you know what? Screw Neil Young and his Americana grunge and the Beach Boys' "let's prop up Brian and suck his blood again" album and listen to me: if you want to re-experience your youth and wax nostalgic about the old days, get this one for sure. I'm hearing sounds on it that I've never, ever heard before. And although I'm not a huge Bowie fan, for three nights in 1972 this was the shit. As I sit here and listen to it all cleaned up and pretty...consider me a happy little spider.

Bowie doing Ziggy is my time machine gig....well one of my time machine gigs.
If I had one I would have been front and centre.
Always great to hear from people who were there.
I did however see Mott the Hoople on the first of their run of London gigs when they reformed for a tour.
...would have loved to have seen even one Bowie show from Ziggy...closest i came was at Forest Hills Tennis stadium in '83 I worked the tear-down from his Serious Moonlite tour -- but didn't see the show! I like several cuts on Neil's Americana record -- the reimagining of those songs is interesting and shows his perpetual willingness to bombard his listeners with new notions of how music can be heard...anyone know what Bowie's up to lately? I read the tome on him that came out a couple of years ago, and it seems he's creatively, well, uncreative, for some years now...thanks for redirecting me to Ziggy and the Spyderz...
Biggest mistake I made was selling my Glass Spider ticket.
Hindsight is 20-20 of course.
I also missed out on seeing him front Tin Machine in the Glasgow Barrowlands.
A much dismissed project from him, but I'll happily march out of time and say I liked both TM albums.
No idea what he is doing now Pete.
Last I heard he was claiming to be retired, and his recent birthday went past without him making a public appearance.
Would have loved to see Ziggy in full flight ... Alladin Sane was my introduction to him, and have seen him several times, but I think Ziggy was the zenith.
I have it on good authority that The Thin White Duke is not a well Hero. Heart problems mean that he won't perform again, and he was always more excited, so I am told, by the performance aspects of his work than by the songwriting and recording, so he won't write if he can't get on stage to perform the songs.
Thanks again Ed, I always enjoy the flow of your words.
Bowie's dignified and old enough that maybe his only career move is to do a country album his way. The closest he's come so far is some of the more folksy material on Hunky Dory and the bluisiness of some of Let's Dance, thanks to Stevie Ray. Otherwise I can't think of anybody less country than David Bowie, but a "fake country" album from David might just work as an artistic statement, from Bowie everything's an artistic statement. He's done everything else, that's why he's pretty much retired these days. Not much left for him to do without repeating or parodying himself. Even Queen's done countryish stuff, mostly some of the songs Brian May sang himself.
I had a copy of Nilsson Schmilsson on Dynaflex. You could bend the record clear around until its edges touched each other. Ziggy is a great record and I look forward to hearing this version with headphones; if I was going to a desert island though, I'd grab Hunky Dory first. It's a better singalong record :-)
Not such a stretch - Alejandro wouldn't have been Alejandro without Mott the Hoople and way fewer people would have heard Mott without Bowie. The vision for Mott was Dylan meets the Stones while Bowie had a Song for Bob Dylan on Hunky Dory. Coincidentally I was listening to my original (UK) RCA copy of Ziggy a month or so back and was struck by how much is going on there musically. Not Dynaflex - that was import only in the UK and generally involved many returns due to the tendency to skip through the grooves unless the arm was weighted down so it cut through the vinyl like an icebreaker almost to the point of playing side 2 backwards instead. OTOH as sales dept probably got bonus for shipments (ignoring returns) they'd likley have loved the format.
My best friend in high school in 1970 or so loved Mott the Hoople -- I didn't get it. The girl across the hall in the dorm in 1973 love Bowie -- I didn't get it. I was busy listening to Hot Tuna and Steve Goodman -- well, who could blame me?
But, now I love "Sufragette City" and "All the Young Dudes", and yes, I finally get it!
Mott the Hoople I got right away. Their cover of Sonny Bono's "Laugh At Me" off their 1st LP was marvelous. Ian Hunter and the boys nailed it, and made me appreciate Mr. Bono as a writer. I've been a Mott fan ever since.
"Ziggy" was the only Bowie LP I did "get" right away. I usually end up loving David's releases only years after they 1st come out. Takes me that long to "get" him. But "Ziggy" was an instant classic.

Via The Tibet Post:
Chinese officials continued their crackdown on access to foreign media in Tibet on March 10 through the dismantling of satellite dishes at the Labrang Tashi Kyil monastery in Labrang erea (Gansu province), Amdho region, eastern Tibet.
Observed as the official 'Uprising Day', March 10 is the 54th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising in Lhasa, rallies are held worldwide on this day n support of the Tibetan cause.
Monastery administration was ordered to remove and then burn their satellite dishes. They were then told these should be replaced, alongside new receivers, with smaller state sanctioned ones. These new devices only receive state controlled programmes; thereby blocking Tibetans from obtaining international media.
These new receivers are fitted with an automatic recorder and camera which are used as surveillance devices by the Chinese government television control office. If phrases such as "Free Tibet" of "His Holiness the Dalai Lama" are detected on this device then the officials are alerted and sanctions are carried out.
Earlier in January, Chinese authorities confiscated televisions and dismantled satellite equipment from 300 monasteries in the western part of the region. Cash rewards were announced for anyone informing the authorities about Tibetans holding back 'illegal' devices. Arrests and fines are imposed on those who are found to have such devices in their possession.
FJP: About 100 Tibetans have self-immolated themselves since 2009 in protest against human rights conditions and China blames foreign influence for the continued practice.
For example, in February, it accused the US-backed Voice of America of encouraging immolations. A charge the State Department denies.
Via Radio Free Asia:
A young Tibetan traditional artist was sentenced to two years in jail with hard labor for having photos on his mobile phone of two compatriots who self-immolated in protest against Chinese rule, according to exile sources Saturday.
Ngawang Thupden, 20, was detained in October last year in Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), but relatives learned of the prison sentence for "subversion" only four months later, the sources said, citing contacts in the Himalayan region…
…Chinese authorities have been cracking down hard on any efforts by Tibetans to publicize self-immolation protests after steps taken by Beijing to stop the burnings failed.
Thupden was accused of "subversion, propagating incorrect political messages, and causing disharmony among ethnic minorities."

Bronxville, NY- On Monday February 10th The Chapel School PTO sponsored a school assembly in celebration of the Chinese New Year (January 31st , 2014). Students from preschool through eighth grade, were treated to acrobatic performances by the New York Chinese Cultural Center's Acrobat Team. The New York Chinese Cultural Center is a nonprofit cultural and educational institution that is dedicated to deepening the understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture in the global and local communities. The artists performed in full, traditional Chinese costumes, and introduced students to Chinese culture through demonstrations and audience interaction.
The five award winning artists performed a wide range of acrobatic acts, including plate spinning, trick cycling, foot juggling and Chinese water bowl manipulations. "How do they do that?" asked one student. "I like their colorful costumes," stated another. The students were amazed to watch the acrobatics as they demonstrated an art form that is extracted from skills used in daily life, work and martial arts. "WOW!!" exclaimed students as the artists preformed the Lion Dance, a traditional form of dance to celebrate the New Year.
The study of International Celebrations is part of The Chapel School's Multicultural Studies Program. This program enables the wonderfully diverse Chapel School family, which includes parents, guardians, students, teachers, administrators, to explore and celebrate traditions and accomplishments of people from a wide range of backgrounds. According to James Dhyne, Principal of The Chapel School, "Music, art, literature, science, athletics, cuisine, dance and so much more are masterfully weaved into all areas of the curriculum." Field trips, special visitors and interdisciplinary curriculum connections help to make each unique experience meaningful and memorable.
The Chapel School is located at 172 White Plains Road in Bronxville, New York. An open house is scheduled for every Friday in March. For more information about the Chapel School and its programs, please call 914-337-3202 or visit the website at www.thechapelschool.org

This has a feeling of a trap game to me. A short week meaning limited preparation for the team, A big game against Baltimore with playoff positioning to be affected coming up next week. Oakland will be playing motivated to get a big win against a rival for Dennis Allen who just lost his father. And the Broncos always have trouble winning in the black hole.
I have a feelin that Oakland will be a very tough game for the broncos so let's hope that the Broncos show up ready for a smash mouth type of game

Being friends as well as lovers is important to us today. Allowing one another freedom of expression and treating others fairly, unselfishly and impartially, are themes now.
Mars is in Pisces (until March 12) makes us feel less motivated to go after traditional goals and more motivated to pursue spiritual or emotional drives.
We dislike confrontation and steer away from it. So we may put others' needs ahead of our own and our more idealistic side comes to the fore. Going after what we want becomes less straightforward and more complicated! So, take today to just unwind and relax! Tomorrow is another day! :-)

|© UNICEF NYHQ/2010-Dooley
|Bisi Agberemi of UNICEF Nigeria, Lizette Burgers of UNICEF India, and Nicolas Osbert of UNICEF Mali discuss the next steps in scaling up CATS programming.
CATS +2: A UNICEF Global Sanitation Meeting was called in November to discuss emerging issues in the implementation of Community Approaches to Total Sanitation (CATS). Nearly 50 UNICEF offices are involved in CATS programming, and the pace, the success, the challenges and innovations in promoting improved sanitation have varied across these countries.
The discussion at CATS +2 revolved around a few key questions:
|© UNICEF NYHQ/2010-Dooley
|Hilda Winarta of UNICEF Cambodia, Prakash Lamsal of UNICEF Uganda, and Giveson Zulu of UNICEF Zambia working to develop a "WildWildWild" idea.
The objectives of the meeting were twofold: first, to convene UNICEF and external sanitation practitioners for exchange of best practice and second, to continue the dialogue on global approaches to sanitation, with a particular focus on approaches to move beyond triggering and to sustain behaviour change, specifically, through sanitation marketing.
Over the course of four days, participants reviewed current progress on CATS since the 2008 meeting, discussing common challenges and opportunities. The meeting then transitioned to extensive discussions on sanitation marketing and its relation to UNICEF.

|Sophie Hickling of UNICEF ESARO, Dara Johnston of UNICEF Myanmar, Hans Spruijt of UNICEF Bangladesh, and Evariste Komlan of UNICEF Madagascar discuss equity in the CATS approach to sanitation.
Regions were also afforded a chance to collaborate on issues of common concern and to think of regional vehicles for enhanced dialogue and action. Asian countries discussed the development of a regional community of practice to look at social norms and the possibility of a regional training session. African countries discussed a similar community of practice and ways to further enhance the institutionalization of the CATS principles as a vehicle for promotion harmonized approaches and a solid platform for introducing sanitation marketing concepts.
Several key ideas and action points came out of this meeting. You will find the meeting summary and presentations that took place in the modules on the right.

Background Reading
Sorting through the studies, reports, and literature on strategies for sustainable, effective sanitation programs can be a tedious task. The following is a list of ten articles suggested to CATS +2 participants to read if they were to read only ten articles before the meeting. These articles were chosen to reflect the overall theme of the meeting and to provide participants with a common background for discussion. The first document is an annotated bibliography of the suggested readings.

Ok, I was looking to no avail for some cool horror photos the other day, and saw two movie covers for movies I've never even heard before. One was called Cropsey and the other apparently was a unknown Rob Zombie film called Werewolf Women Of The S.S. Anyways, has anyone seen either of these two finds? Were they good movies or not so good???
Werewolf Women of The S.S.
Werewolf Women of The S.S.
Re: Werewolf Women of The S.S.kaveman1969 on Saturday, October 16, 2010 - 5:25pm
Sorry Boo, I haven't seen either of these. The only S.S. movie I've ever seen was from the "Ilsa" series and was called Ilsa:She Wolf Of The S.S.
Mostly a lot of nude women running around and Ilsa torturing them and some men, if I remember right. I'd like to see the RZ film just to see if it's some sort of nod to those films.
Re: Werewolf Women of The S.S.halloweenfan_1978 on Tuesday, October 19, 2010 - 2:48am
Werewolf Women of the SS is a film RZ is making, based on the spurious trailer from GRINDHOUSE and the song from his HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 CD.

I am writing in response to the recent article "Help for Knoxville Non-Profits" [Citybeat by Chris Barrett, Feb. 5, 2009]. The Ladies of Charity in Knoxville are very grateful to the East Tennessee Foundation for being selected for one of the end-of-the-year grants. It is very helpful in feeding the hungry.
While I appreciate the newspaper's effort in helping the Ladies of Charity get information about our program out to the public, I must clarify some information that appeared in the article.
Among that information is how we obtain food for our pantry. It is important to point out that we do pay for the food that we give to our clients free of charge.
We purchase food from Second Harvest Food Bank at a reduced rate—either by the pound or by the case. In 2008, we spent $17,660.20 on groceries at the food bank. We do occasionally pick up fresh produce there for free.
In addition, we purchase food at Food City and receive a 5 percent discount. We buy ground beef at Lay's Market. All totaled, we spent $99,288.11 on groceries in 2008.
Also, we give each client a three-day supply of food, not a three-meal supply as stated in the article.
We provided more than 180,000 meals to hungry children and adults in 2008. We are proud to have accomplished this with a part-time staff of nine and more than 100 dedicated volunteers who operate the emergency assistance office and thrift store, pick up groceries, stock the pantry, and pack groceries for our clients.
Because of the current economic climate, all non-profits are struggling to keep up with the needs of their clients. It is only with the community's support that Ladies of Charity will be able to continue to provide our clients with warm, nutritious food.

i recently purchased 5 of the 11x17 posters along with 5 custom frames. i purchased all of the posters at www.ebay.com. i used the site i mentioned as a reference for prices. i decided i would not bid more than 20% below what the website listed. Got most of the posters for between 10 and 15 dollars a pop. still looking for the feynman poster but im not sure they made it in 11x17 dimensions.
Feb 20, 2002, 08:39 PM
they also have the new iMac posters.
Feb 20, 2002, 08:58 PM
redlightrunner is VERY overpriced. they are asking for several hundred dollars for posters that are selling for 10 to 20 dollars everywhere else. i find price inflation that is an order of magnitude greater than the accepted price quite shocking. but hey if people will pay then to each his own!

West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez turned down the chance to coach at Alabama today, telling his players in a meeting that he'll be back for his sixth season with the Mountaineers.
WVU sports communications director Mike Fragale confirmed Coach Rodriguez is staying at West Virginia. A 5:30 p-m news conference was planned in Morgantown.
Rodriguez announced his intentions at a 3 p-m meeting and a loud applause could be heard from the room inside the Mylan Puskar Center at Mountaineer Field.
Rodriguez has built West Virginia into a Big East power, winning the Sugar Bowl after the 2005 season and a share of three straight league titles. The Mountaineers are 10-and-2 and will play Georgia Tech in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, on January First.
In June, Rodriguez signed a seven-year contract that pays him one (m) million-dollars this year with a 50-thousand dollar annual raises after that.
Alabama fired Mike Shula on November 26th after the Tide went 6-and-6 in his fourth season and lost its fifth consecutive meeting with rival Auburn.

Sam's main birthday gift was my new dynamo hub for the Troll a Shutter Precision PD8 with a 6v 3w output; I will been hooking it up through the same Axa Lux 90 light unit that she is using, it will allow charging on the move and still put out a solid amount of light that with my little exposure light will allow some trail time in the dark on my commutes.
I have considered getting Exposures Revo lamp unit but at 800 lumens it is over kill for road use and to be honest I like the ability to charge stuff on the move, handy when touring.
This past week the weather has been very warm and I have put some extra miles in on the Troll, I am desperately trying to get some dirt time in before the race in August, I am well aware my handling skills are very rusty if not non existent really. As mush as I hate to wish it I could use some mud time. Yeah I said that, I am guessing mother nature will help me out there.
I have finally got he On One ready for full off road work, for the first time in many years I have suspension on the bike, I dug out my old Marzocchi MX Pro forks. The once belonged to my original Inbred, they are a solid 4" of travel of old school suspension that seem to handle my weight just about.
The Inbred now just needs a good servicing and the spokes in the rear wheel re-tensioning before it gets ridden hard again, now if only it was easy to get me back into a useable state, and to help with that I have picked up Tom Danielson's Core Advantage in an effort to help my underdeveloped core and thus make my riding more comfortable.
Well that rounds it out for this entry, I am hoping my new Alpkit frame bag will be here for the next entry and I will have plenty of tales from the trails.

Elizabeth Pinelli '11 shares her perspective on 'Baseball: The One Constant through all the Years'
Elizabeth Pinelli '11 (Princeton Junction, N.J.) shares her eye-opening introduction to baseball, as well as college, in her First-Year Seminar, "Baseball: The One Constant through all the Years," taught by Chip Nataro, associate professor of chemistry and Lafayette Club Baseball coach.
- First Year Seminar takes a Closer Look at 'America's Favorite Pastime'
When choosing a First-Year Seminar, I wanted to choose something that I knew absolutely nothing about. Thus "Baseball: The One Constant Through all the Years" was what I selected as my first choice for my first year seminar. Even though many of my friends claimed it was to meet boys, I really was interested in learning about the history and tactics of the game.
I remember walking in the first day and sitting in my chair. I then proceeded to observe the scenery around me: 14 boys and two girls. It was going to be a long first semester. When Dr. Nataro started talking about what we would be doing in class and the books we would be reading, I thought "Okay. I can do this."
He then proceeded to tell us that we would be making a fantasy baseball team. For our fantasy team, we would be able to pick the players for our team during a draft that would take place in class, name the team whatever we wanted, and pick out a home field. After that, we would actually play the game on a computer program called Diamond Mind Baseball. When playing a game, you would either be sitting next to your opponent or playing through the internet.
The program allows you to go pitch by pitch and make decisions such as hitting the ball or bunting the ball, stealing bases, and intentionally walking the batter. I'll be honest; I had no idea what to look for in a baseball player. Luckily for me, Dr. Nataro made himself very available for help. He taught me what to look for in a player. For example, batting average and on-base percentage are very important statistics to look at when drafting a team.
He then continued to talk about the course and how during the year we would watch games and have to keep score. Score? The only thing I knew about keeping score was that there were three strikes and a batter was out and four balls and a batter was walked. After leaving that class for the first time I thought I was in way over my head. Even though I believed this, Dr. Nataro really took the time to help me learn the game and convinced me I would be okay if I stayed in the class.
Throughout these past five weeks, I have had my fair share of embarrassing moments. One of them would be during our fantasy league draft. I wanted to draft Adam LaRoche. Little did I know that Adam LaRoche's last name was not pronounced the same way as Ferrero Roche Chocolate. People still make fun of me for that.
Another time would be during one of our discussions. Since I do not have as much knowledge about the game, I normally just listen to the discussions and learn from what other people are saying. As class was winding down, my friend in the class had to bring up a debate that we had the other day about whether or not an athlete should finish college before going to the professionals. Dr. Nataro wanted to hear my perspective about this. Although I should have said nothing, I told the class that I thought an athlete should go to college before playing in the professionals. The minute my mouth finished the sentence, almost every other person in that room started screaming and calling me ridiculous. After that, I decided to go back to listening again.
Although I went into this class knowing absolutely nothing about baseball, I have learned so much in the classes that we have had so far. I learned the position numbers for all the players in the field and learned that there is strategy to the game. I also greatly enjoyed reading Money Ball and learning about Billy Beane, who was a former Major League player and now is the general manager of the Oakland Athletics.
I could not have picked a better class to begin my college education. I choose Lafayette because I wanted a liberal arts education and the ability to learn about a wide variety of subjects. Never did I think that I would be learning about a game that I knew nothing about. Not only does this class teach me about baseball, but it also helped jump start my brain to college level thinking and learning. Whether it was the lengthy discussions about the pennant, learning about the history of Lafayette baseball, or analyzing a game and writing a paper about it, all of these experiences really helped me better adapt to college-style learning. I have greatly enjoyed this class and can't wait to see what the rest of the semester will bring.

By: Dr. Jeff Masters, 4:08 PM GMT on July 25, 2014
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the slowest Atlantic hurricane season on record--1914, which had no hurricanes and only one tropical storm. Is it possible that the 2014 hurricane season could match 1914 for the lowest activity ever recorded, with Hurricane Arthur ending up as our only named storm? I think that is highly unlikely, even though the atmospheric and oceanic conditions in the Atlantic are looking hostile for development for the coming two weeks.<...

ERIE, Ill. – It didn't take a review of the game video for Erie/Prophetstown football coach Chuck Milem to dissect his team's 24-14 loss to Stillman Valley on Saturday afternoon in the second round of the Illinois Class 2A playoffs. He could vividly recall the key handful of plays that swung the outcome in the Cardinals' favor.
Tristan Elliott was in on most of them.
Elliott rushed for a game-high 229 yards on 20 carries, but three of them were keys to the victory. Those three plays, along with two fumbles and a couple of penalties were all that stood between the Panthers and a trip to the state quarterfinals.
"There was that run, the turnovers and a couple of offside penalties," Milem said.
"That was the difference in the game, in my opinion," Erie/Prophetstown senior Chris Bauer said of those key plays.
Playing without three-year starting quarterback Ethan Howard didn't help E/P's chances, either. He suffered season-ending knee injuries in the first round.
None of Elliott's big plays was bigger than the first one.
With the Cardinals (9-2) facing a fourth down at their own 20-yard line and needing to go 3 yards, coach Mike Lalor elected to go for it instead of punting into a howling wind from the south.
"That deep, yeah, I was a little surprised, but we executed it good," Elliott said of keeping the offense on the field for fourth down.
The Cardinals put the ball in Elliott's hands — the call a "56, a power run to the right," he said — and once he burst through the line of scrimmage there was no one to stop him. The 80-yard dash, and the two-point conversion that followed, tied the game at 8-8 with 7 minutes, 29 seconds left in the half and changed the whole feel of the game.

Matches: Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe at Hambantota
Series/Tournaments: ICC World Twenty20
Match facts
September 18, 2012
Start time 1930 local (1400 GMT)
Big Picture
There is no big bash planned for the opening of World Twenty20 in Hambantota, no music concert, no fireworks and no trapeze artists. But, there is a cricket match and both Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe are likely to be grateful that they, not a sideshow, will take center stage.
Cricket can be their only focus because in a short group stage, like this one, an early slip up could end their campaign even as it begins. That fact is probably scarier for Sri Lanka than it is for Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka are expected not to slip up, especially because the tournament is taking place at home and their reputation as runners-up was given a fresh unveiling at least year's fifty-over World Cup. Their time for going one better is thought to be now. Despite changes to coaching staff and personnel and a patchy recent record in T20 cricket, Sri Lanka is still seen as one of the favourites and they would hope to show why against Zimbabwe.
For Zimbabwe's coach, Alan Butcher, and his charges, this tournament is nothing more than an opportunity. It is a chance to show that they are still active on the world stage, even though they have not been on it for almost eight months. It is a chance to show that they are still producing talented players and have the capacity to nurture that talent. And maybe, just maybe, it is a chance to achieve something that no-one would think them capable of.
Form guide (completed matches, most recent first)
Sri Lanka LLWLW
Zimbabwe LLLLL
Watch out for
There are few finer sites in cricket than Lasith Malinga, hair bobbing to the rhythm of his steps, running in, pecking the ball on its way through to the base of the stumps. With the opportunity to see him in whites a thing of the past, watching him in the shortest form has to suffice. As Sri Lanka's joint highest wicket taker in T20 cricket, with Ajantha Mendis, Malinga can be as destructive as he is delightful and with Sri Lanka challenging for silverware on home turf, you can expect both in overload.
Sandwiched in-between a man in fine form, Hamilton Masakadza and the captain, Brendan Taylor is Vusi Sibanda. He has completed his return to the team after a spat over his choice to play grade cricket instead of domestic cricket at home but has been overshadowed by Masakadza and Taylor. Sibanda is an attacking strokeplayer, who has learnt to play the short ball with as much force as the full one. He will also have to play the key role of holding the top three together to ensure Zimbabwe can challenge with the bat.
Team news
A slightly new-look Sri Lanka XI is possible with Dilshan Munaweera likely to open the batting alongside Tillakaratne Dilshan and offspinner Akila Dananjaya - both set for debuts. That will mean Mahela Jayawardene will bat at No.3. The middle order is solid and the bowling varied, with two frontline spinners in Dananjaya and Ajantha Mendis.
Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Dilshan Munaweera, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Mahela Jayawardene, 4 Kumar Sangakkara, 5 Lahiru Thirimanne, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Nuwan Kulasekara, 8 Thisara Perera, 9 Lasith Malinga, 10 Ajantha Mendis 11 Akila Dananjaya,
An impressive top three gives way to a shaky Zimbabwe middle order but their alternatives are few. Only Forster Mutizwa could replace Craig Ervine or Stuart Matsikenyeri but their experience would likely see them turn out for the first match. It will probably be a choice between Elton Chigumbura and Malcolm Waller for the allrounder's role. Zimbabwe have three frontline spinners in Prosper Utseya, Graeme Cremer and Ray Price and Price is the likeliest to miss out if they chose to play three seamers.
Zimbabwe (probable): 1 Hamilton Masakadza, 2 Vusi Sibanda, 3 Brendan Taylor, 4 Craig Ervine, 5 Stuart Matsikenyeri, 6 Elton Chigumbura/ Malcolm Waller, 7 Prosper Utseya 8 Graeme Cremer, 9 Richard Muzhange, 10 Kyle Jarvis, 11 Chris Mpofu
Pitch and conditions
With heavy gusts expected in the afternoon and evening in Hambantota, some steadying adjustments will have to be made all round. Matches there have been low scoring, largely because the surface area of the field is larger than the MCG, but the boundary rope is being brought in for this tournament. The pitch is expected to have something in it for the seamers, so much so that Brendan Taylor said he does not expect much turn. Temperatures are expected to be warm, between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius, with up to 80% humidity but little chance of rain.
Stats and trivia
"Having looked at the wicket I'm pretty confident that it will be much better than what it has been, and there should be plenty of runs."
Sri Lanka's captain Mahela Jayawardene expects a high-quality surface in Hambantota.
"We've got some good strikers in the top order, some good spinners and young, talented fast bowlers that will bowl well at the death. If we get those things right, it will be tough for Sri Lanka."
Despite his team being regarded as clear underdogs, Brendan Taylor is bullish ahead of Zimbabwe's first match of the tournament.

TwinsDaily learned that another player they were interested in, Dutch 3B Ruar Verkerk, signed shortly thereafter. We had a chance to exchange some questions with the young Dutchman earlier this week.
Verkerk, after signing, with Twins Head of
International Scouting Howard Norsetter.
TwinsDaily: Ruar, thanks for the taking the time to help introduce yourself to this community of Twins fans. The International Free Agency system is something that we get less exposure to, so it's nice to be able to get some answers from someone who was acquired this way.
Obviously, coming from Europe where the most popular sport is soccer (to us anyway, football to you), what was it about baseball that hooked you and when?
Ruar Verkerk: I came in contact with baseball because my dad was a baseball player. Also, my (older) brother played and I joined him and his team at the age of 3 or 4 years.
TD: Did you ever play soccer?
RV: No, only a few games with school on a tournament.
TD: How familiar are you with Major League Baseball? The Twins have a pretty significant presence in Europe, were you more familiar with them?
RV:Of course I know Major League Baseball. We often watch games on ESPN. I wasnt more familiar to one team or another.
TD: The process that ultimately led you to signing with the Twins. When did that begin? How many teams were involved? When did you know you would be signing with the Twins?
RV: I have heard that they started following me at the age of 14. From my agent, I heard that five teams showed interest in me. But the Twins really made an effort to sign me. They have a good development plan for me and they want to give me time to adjust to play pro ball.
TD: You told me the day the signing period opened that you were strongly considering waiting until after the European Championships later this month to sign. What changed your mind?
RV: Things went fast after the 2nd of July. (The) Twins made a good offer and they really want to take care of me and sign me, so I decided not to wait until after the EC.
Now I am more relaxed and I want to do my best (in) the Championship. My focus is now to win the EC with the Dutch team.
TD: Before the period opens there are all sort of projections about what guys will eventually sign for. The dollar amount I saw hung on you was $500,000. Is that what you got?
RV: The Twins have made a fair offer. I am not in the game for money. I am satisfied and happy. The information about the bonus I (would like to) keep to myself.
TD: So what's next? I've heard all the "signees" head to Fort Myers, Florida, for a physical and an age verification/background check. Is that what's on tap for you? How does the rest of the year look? How much have they told you?
RV: Because I am very young and not used to (playing) in the heat, I will go to Australia for a couple of months this winter. In April, I will travel to Florida. After that, I am not sure. It depends on my development.
TD: The Twins have a Dutch presence currently, with P Tom Stuifbergen pitching in AA, Shairon Martis in AAA and Hall-of-Famer Bert Blyleven in the press box. They also recently released Curt Smith. Do you know any of these guys and have they contacted you since signing?
RV: Yes I have had contact with Tom Stuifbergen. I saw him at the training in Holland this winter. Of course, I know Bert Blijleven (Editor: maybe the Dutch spelling, which is cool) by name . I have never met him, but I hope I will have a chance to meet him one day.
TD: Was there any of your other teammates that signed with the Twins or another team?
RV: A teammate from the Dutch AAA team got signed by the Baltimore Orioles.
TD: Obviously, you're 16, so there is still a lot to "project" with you. Can you give us a scouting report on yourself?
RV: I have a lot to learn, thats for sure. I am a tall guy. I like to hit. I am a left-handed hitter, with - so I am told - a very good, smooth swing. I have a strong arm. I got the advice to go dancing, because my footwork needs improvement. Furthermore, I have to work on my speed (and) strength.
I am very proud to be a Minnesota Twin. I want to work hard and my goal is to play for the Twins in the Majors one day.Thank you for the interest in me.
TD: And, thank you, Ruar, for taking your time to introduce yourself to us.
If you're interested in following Ruar on Twitter, you can do so @ruarverkerk.
