2Jennifer Lopez Was "Homeless" Before Getting Famous
In a weird revelation to release decades after you became famous, Jennifer Lopez has said that she was "homeless" before getting cast as a Fly Girl on In Living Color back in 1991. By "homeless", J.Lo means that she slept on a couch in a studio, not that she was actually on the street with no roof over her head, no food in her stomach or anything that actual homeless people have to go through. Plus, she actually could have stayed at home, but her mom was getting on her nerves and she didn't feel like going to school. Insert this face here: –__–
From W:
"My mom and I butted heads. I didn't want to go to college, I wanted to try dance full-time.
"So she and I had a break. I started sleeping on the sofa in the dance studio. I was homeless, but I told her, 'This is what I have to do'.
"A few months later, I landed a job dancing in Europe. When I got back, I booked In Living Color. I became a Fly Girl and moved to LA. It all happened in a year."
Listen, I'm glad J.Lo got her big break because I actually like her and think she's pretty great, but girl… no. People who opt for "homelessness" so they can pursue some romantic notion of the artistic dream need to GTFO. It's obviously a struggle trying to find a way to make a living out of what you love – especially when what you love isn't a conventional "job", I'm with her on that. But I still do what I gotta do to pay the bills, you know (HI, EVIL BEET!). We're just going to have ignore she said any of this and move on.

Nice try J-Lo. At the very best you were faux-mless. Making the bull-headed decision to rough it for your dreams is not the same as being homeless.
She also lived with the owner of the dance studio. She came out when she and Ben Afleck became a couple, saying you do stupid things when you first start out in the business. Also at that time her mother had thrown her out of the house & they weren't speaking. It sounded to me like she was trying to get ahead of a story before it hit the tabloids – her team probably decided it was better to pay him off, than deny, deny, deny.

Italian grandmas had no definite rules for what went into minestrone. It just had to be hearty, with plenty of vegetables, white beans and pasta or rice.
Recipe by: Lynn Cole
I make this once a week at least in the winter. Its great when we come in from football, or to have with a garlic loaf while we are watching football or need a quick wholesome snack before we go out. I omit the onion as I can't eat it, but it tastes great all the same. Its an excellent recipe to get veggies into your children, my son loves it and doesn't complain about the vegetables!
Recipe by: LisaBart
Freshly diced carrots, leek, onion and cut green beans are simmered in a prepared vegetables stock with lean bacon, macaroni pasta and red kidney beans.
Recipe by: Zoë Harpham
A very hearty soup for a cold winter night. I serve it with hot garlic bread. If you are lucky enough to have leftovers it's just as good if not better the next day!
Recipe by: STORMYWOMAN
In Italian, a minestra is a soup, but a minestrone is a BIG soup – a nourishing meal in itself. Tender and moist chicken meatballs and a host of seasonal herbs and vegetables enhance the depth of flavour in this delicious one-bowl meal.

An Orange Bowl date NIU couldn't turn downBy JIM LITKE
The Associated Press | January 01,2013Many college football fans will awake New Years Day, glance at the TV listings, and then face a pressing question.
If its, Where did I put the aspirin? good luck.
But if its How did Northern Illinois sneak into the Orange Bowl? youve come to the right place.
The story of how the Huskies wound playing Florida State in a big-money BCS bowl stretches back more than four decades. But the short version covers just a few days. It began with a 44-37 double-overtime win against Kent State in the Mid-American Conference championship game in Detroit on Nov. 30, and got crazier from there.
The next morning, NIU athletic director Jeff Compher set out on Interstate 94 toward the campus at DeKalb, Ill., with only one thing on his to-do list: Take out his wife Cathy for a 22nd wedding anniversary dinner in Chicago that night.
That was the first casualty, Compher chuckled during a phone interview from Florida, where the Huskies were wrapping up preparations for Tuesdays game. Its been rescheduled for February.
When he set off from Detroit with son C.J. in tow, Compher knew his life was about to get complicated. What he couldnt have known until his cellphone began ringing non-stop was how complicated, and how fast. In the first of a string of good decisions, he turned the wheel over to C.J.
I knew wed be going to a bowl, but there were so many combinations in play, I wasnt going to try and figure out which one. In the back of my mind, I thought we might have to find a new coach, because thats how things happen in the MAC. If youve got a good one, and believe me, Dave Doeren is one helluva coach, the big schools come calling quick.
Quick in this case turned out to be an understatement. One of the first things Compher learned during that Saturday morning drive was that Debbie Yow, his counterpart at North Carolina State, had already beat him back to campus, determined to be the first to interview Doeren. A few hours later, it was a done deal. All Compher asked for was a delay of a few hours so he could be in the room when Doeren told the team. When that meeting ended, he began another one, asking th1ed in a coach, not who.
Thats because Compher began working up a just-in-case scenario months earlier, settling on Rod Carey, NIUs offensive coordinator. But he wasnt going to make the call without the players buying in.
The question in our business, at our level, is how does a good team become a great program? And Ive always believed the answer is continuity. We were already a good team. This will be our fifth consecutive bowl appearance. Were one of only two teams (along with Oregon) to win at least 11 games the last two seasons, Compher said. In this case, the last thing you want to do is rush into a big decision.
Already exhausted, Compher decided to sleep on it. When he went to bed, NIU was solidly inside the Top 20 and likely to move up with the win over Kent State. Plus, Texas was losing and Wisconsin was en route to an upset over Nebraska. Compher knew a slot in the Orange Bowl was a possibility, but still a dizzying one.
I dozed off thinking, `Ive got to hire a coach tomorrow, Compher recalled. Thats all I knew for sure.
By the time he awoke Sunday morning, both Texas and Nebraska were out of the picture. Between negotiations on a new contract for Carey, he began checking bowl projections. Word that NIU was going to the Orange finally came in a call from the MAC office in mid-afternoon, with a warning to keep it quiet until the official announcement Sunday evening. Thats when Compher decided to add a flourish of his own. He sent an athletic department assistant down to the grocery with instructions to buy 100 oranges and not leak a word about why to anyone.
Just minutes before the bowl selection show began on ESPN, Compher introduced Carey as NIUs new coach. A roar went up, followed by a second a few minutes later as the team learned what Compher already knew: that the Huskies would be the first MAC team accorded a chance to bang shoulders with the big boys in a BCS bowl. A few minutes after that, as ESPNs commentators roundly panned the BCS decision to include NIU, those oranges Compher sent out for came in handy, just not the way hed expected. Players hurled them at the TV set.
Of all the things running through my head, I guess hadnt figured on that, Compher said, but I understand it. Here, people know the MAC and how good it can be. But the further you get away from Midwest, the less knowledge theres bound to be and the less respect some people have.
So, yeah, Im sure there will be some head-scratching when we pop up in the Orange Bowl, some `Who are they? ... But weve played in some big games before, he added, and we know were responsible for representing the MAC. We wont let people down.
And no matter the final score, theres already a silver lining. As news of Comphers action-packed few days made the rounds, someone at Hilton Hotels heard about it, saw the original cancellation and invited the Comphers to pick a weekend in Chicago as their guests.
I already owed my wife big-time, Compher said, so how great is that?

It's been a tough seven days for Antonio Conte and Juventus. Two consecutive losses have left a sour taste in Turin mouths. Everything was going to plan last Sunday, with the Bianconeri 2-0 up and coasting at Fiorentina. A disastrous 15 minute spell changed all that, as a Giuseppe Rossi hat trick proved to be the catalyst which saw Juve crumble to a 4-2 defeat.
A 2-1 reverse against Real Madrid in midweek also put a serious dent in Juve's hopes of qualifying for the latter stages of the Champions League. Two points out of a possible nine is a far from ideal start.
A bullish Conte has stated that "the past no longer counts," as he prepares his side for this game. Juve's first domestic loss has seen them slip five points behind early season pacesetters AS Roma.
Genoa will hope to heap more misery on Conte and pull clear from the relegation places. The Port City club have once again turned to Gian Piero Gasperini to stabilise things, after novice tactician Fabio Liverani lasted just six matches. Gasperini has already equalled Liverani's points tally, picking up a draw and a victory in his two outings thus far.
The Grifone's mini renaissance has coincided with Alberto Gilardino rediscovering his form. The veteran frontman netted both goals in last weekend's 2-1 victory against Chievo Verona to move onto three strikes for the season.
Injuries to Mirko Vucinic and Fabio Quagliarella mean Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez look likely to continue their attacking partnership for the hosts, who must also do without Stephan Lichtsteiner and Simone Pepe.
Genoa frustrated Juventus to earn a 1-1 draw in this fixture last season. Francelino Matuzalem won't be part of the travelling squad after failing a breathalyser test this week. The midfielder was caught drink-driving and has been dropped as punishment. Mario Alberto Santana went off injured during the Chievo victory and will remain on the sidelines along with Emanuele Calaio.

I'm a little new to linux. But i'm running pclinuxos 2008 or 2007. I have a philips webcam model # sic4750/27. I really don't know how to config it so if someone could help that would be great.
Run lsusb
Open a shell (command prompt) and run the command "lsusb".
If you see something like this:
Bus 001 Device 002 ID 04fc:0561 Sunplus Technology Co. Ltd Flexcam 100.
That is your webcam (in other words, Phillips sells it but they don't make it). The two numbers 04fc:0561 are the Vendor ID (04fc) and Product ID (0561) of the camera. If you check here:
You'll see that that matches:

Yet another non-phillips name.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

bullfinch, any of several stocky stout-billed songbirds of the families Fringillidae and Emberizidae (order Passeriformes). Eurasia has six species of the genus Pyrrhula, all boldly marked. The common bullfinch (P. pyrrhula), 15 cm (6 inches) long, is black and white, and the male has a pinkish orange underside. This species, usually found in evergreen groves and hedgerows, has a soft warbling call; it is a popular cage bird. The trumpeter bullfinch (Rhodopechys githaginea) of arid localities from the Canary Islands to India is a pale bird washed with pink; it has a blaring buzzy note. Most bullfinches are fringillids; however, Caribbean species, which belong to the genera Melopyrrha and Loxigilla, are classified in the family Emberizidae.

Let's get started
Because of our professional presentations niche, one of our Columbus, Ohio video production specialties is producing video for events. Creating video for large-screen projection is quite a bit different than making one for online viewing. Video to be embedded in presentations has to conform to certain specifications. Local and national clients trust us for video productions that work on big screens as well as on tiny ones.
Let's talk!
Live Video Capture of long-format events is something we take seriously. We provide tapeless capture of long-format lectures, keynote addresses, workshops, seminars, press conferences, public announcements, etc. From that we can deliver DVD, Blu-Ray, live streaming or video-on-demand. It's part of our Columbus, Ohio video production services that we offer anywhere in the country.

Video for Presentations needs to be handled somewhat differently than for "standard" viewing. By coordinating with the presentation, our video assets enhance presentations with a consistent look and feel.
Explore Presentations
Video content for Web requires special care and feeding. Because we also focus on Web development we have methods that can embed the video in your Website seamlessly - and be consistent with the look and feel of the site.
Explore Websites
If you're in a visually-oriented profession, use an Advent Media, Inc. video to display your finest work. We have a special offer for a Video Image Showcase that works wonderfully for Website, kiosk, trade show, or lobby display.

Siblings live outside the touch of time sharing a very special bond that outsiders may never understand. That's especially the case for Brandon Nelson, who took it upon himself to give the gift of life.
At 32–years–old, Brandon is in pretty good shape. Staying active and operating heavy equipment at Aurora Coop would leave anyone believing that he was nothing more than normal, but that is far from the truth.
"I took it upon myself and went into the Aurora Clinic and got my blood tested to see what blood type I was," Brandon said.
And it was that sound decision that determined the steps to follow.
At 15, Brandon sister, Brooke, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that turned her liver into scar tissue.
The doctor told her she was a ticking time bomb.
After years in and out of remission, she was finally listed in 2008 to receive a new liver. Four years later, a perfect donor was found, her very own brother, Brandon.
Without hesitation, Brandon seized the opportunity to save his sister's life, a true testament of brotherly love.

Hi everybody!
Welcome to the Reblawg, the 2010 Rebellious Lawyering Conference's official blog. We are going to start posting regularly about all things RebLaw, and I hope you keep checking back to see what we're up to as the conference approaches!
As the weather gets colder, winter begins creeping up on the calendar, fireplaces turn on, turkeys are roasted and sleigh bells start ringing, we are all reminded of one thing: turning the legal world on its head through rebellious advocacy and activism! RebLaw 2010 is beginning to draw near, and, in preparation, our loyal team of seven directors (with a lot of help, obviously) has been putting together an amazing program. This year's conference is going to be better than ever, and we already have a diverse array of panels and workshops being finalized that are going to be incredible, featuring speakers from all over the U.S. and overseas. First things first: we have three (3) keynote speakers this year lined up and ready to go. On Friday, our speech will be delivered by public interest lawyer extraordinaire Bryan Stevenson, known for making his audience, and prosecutors, burst into tears, albeit for different reasons. On Saturday, we will have reknowned scholars, and two of America's premier critical race thinkers, Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres speaking together, which should be bad ass indeed. I recommend everyone check out their biographies on the RebLaw main page, or just google their names, to get stoked for the conference.
Registration will be available online in a number of days, and we highly encourage everybody to check as often as possible to see when panels and workshops have been put up, and to register as soon as you have a chance. We will be adding them to the site as they are finalized, which should be very soon. Our panel topics include juvenile justice in the USA and South Africa, mass incarceration and its effects on communities, clinical legal education in the Middle East, the challenges faced by LGBTQ prisoners, the future of ATCA litigation, state terrorism in Sri Lanka, the destructive effects of mountaintop removal, and more! Reblaw will also feature an array of how-to workshop sessions, career-building lunch talks, and a documentary film showing. I am also pleased to announce that RebLaw is growing its base, and this year will feature the first panel organized, planned and funded without any participation by Yale law students. To that effect I'd like to give a shout out to Gabe Armas and his sweet coalition of student groups at NYU, who are developing what should be a fantastic panel dealing with abuses of detainees at border detention facilities.
In addition to all this content, we will also be featuring, as always, free housing with local rebels, good food, and a chance to both network and party with your fellow progressives. We will be updating this blog on the reg to keep everyone up to date with the latest happenings, so keep checking back to find out what's going on, when registration starts, what our t-shirts are going to look like (slick new design coming soon!). We also will be bringing you informative submissions from Reblaw panelists to get you prepped for the panels.
We know travel can be expensive too, so we're going to find ways to connect you with fellow rebels to share the costs of travelling so that attending the conference can be cheap and easy (and have a smaller carbon footprint). A good place to start would be joining the Reblaw facebook group: just go on facebook and search for "Reblaw", it should be the first thing that comes up.
So get excited, keep checking back, and always remember to fight the power.
works for me
good going

A man jogging early Friday morning in McMinnville told police a car pulled up alongside him, someone got out and pulled a gun on him.
Police said it happened at 3:40 a.m. near 18th and Michelbook Lane.
The 18-year-old jogger said he was confronted by three male suspects who pulled up in a yellow or light-colored Cadillac.
One of the people in the car got out and displayed a chrome handgun. The jogger told police the suspect demanded either money or that the jogger get in the car.
Police said the jogger was able to fight off the suspect and ran home.
The suspect with the gun is described as 5'9" to 5'10" and 135 to 150 pounds. He was wearing a red T-shirt, baggy pants and a dark beanie-style hat.
He likely sustained injuries to his right arm and the left side of his face, according to officers.
The Cadillac involved in this case had a dent on the back bumper.
If you know anything about this investigation, call police at 503-435-7307.

Welcome back hockey, we missed you so!
I won't bore you with too many details as after all it is only pre-season hockey and Brad had a terrific preview earlier today where he goes over lines and things to look for. Safe to say we shouldn't expect too much from the players, refs or heck even your beloved game day thread host as we'll all be in exhibition game form.
Brad will be at the game and live tweeting his thoughts, so you can follow him on the Twitter @DefendingBigD, he'll also be checking in here from time to time. (I'll plug my Twitter to @GameTimeArt just for the heck of it, but I'll warn ya.. I'll be talking about how great the Minnesota Twins are there.)
Also a reminder that there is (hopefully) a way to follow the game and that's by checking out Tampa Bay radio station WHNZ who we believe will be broadcasting the game.
Game on!!

It seems nearly that long ago since the Tampa Bay catcher enjoyed a home victory against his former team.
Flaherty did all he could on Wednesday night as the Devil Rays attempted to beat Boston at Tropicana Field for the first time since Oct. 2, 2001.
It just didn't happen.
Flaherty drove in all three Tampa Bay runs with a two-run homer and an RBI single, but Boston ace Pedro Martinez enjoyed twice the run support in a 6-3 victory.
Regarding his individual performance, Flaherty considered himself lucky to reach base three times -- he also drew a fourth-inning walk -- against Martinez.
"I can't hit his slider and his change-up if I was looking for it," Flaherty said. "I look for his heater, and I hope that he gives me one to hit. Tonight he did."
The Devil Rays have dropped 10 consecutive home games to the Red Sox -- including all nine meetings this season -- since Wednesday's starter Paul Wilson won a 10-3 decision last fall.
"It just seems like they have our number," Flaherty said, "but they're not the only club, unfortunately, that it seems that way."
Tampa Bay will have one last chance to snap the skid Thursday afternoon, when the teams conclude a four-game series at the dome.
"We've got one more shot, but we wanted to do more damage to those guys because they did say that they wanted to play us every day," Rays manager Hal McRae said. "So far, we've been kind to them. We'd like to do something to make it hurt."
Flaherty hasn't worn a Red Sox uniform since 1993, but he still has special feelings for the franchise that groomed him for a career in the big leagues.
"No doubt. You come through the system. They don't really brainwash you, but you become a Red Sox and I never thought I would leave there," Flaherty said. "I was very happy coming up in that organization. It was a perfect fit for me."
Flaherty is among a handful of original Devil Rays, but he may be in his final days with the youth-oriented team.
But Wilson appreciated having him for a batterymate Wednesday.
"I was glad to see Johnny swinging the bat like that," Wilson said. "He's a great guy to have behind the plate, and it's even better when your catcher gets you a two-run homer. I'm just sorry that I wasted it."

SALISBURY, Md. - Police are looking to identify two men, who they say assaulted another in Salisbury, on Sunday morning.
Salisbury Police say around 1:10 AM, a man was walking near E. Church Street and Naylor Street, when he was approached by two black males. The victim says, one of the suspects asked the victim "What's Up" and then offered his hand for a fist pound.
According to the report, when the victim put out his arm, the second suspect stabbed the victim in the upper arm with a knife, before both suspects started rummaging through the victim's pockets. Police say the victim was able to flee before the suspects were able to take anything.
The victim was treated at PRMC for his injury.
Police describe suspect one as a black male, light skinned, with a thin mustache, around 30-years-old, last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. Suspect two is reportedly described as a black male, last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, armed with a knife.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Salisbury Police at 410-548-3165 or Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776. Crime Solvers will pay up to $1,000 for tips that lead to arrest.

Oh man, I am SO behind on Project Neon. Thanks for your patience! First of all, December 3rd was Project Neon's birthday. Happy belated birthday, Project Neon! Unfortunately I wasn't feeling up to any neon visits, but I hope to head out soon. I need some neon glow to get through these loooong winter nights.
In other neon news, congratulations to Erin S. for winning the Project Neon giveaway! I'll be sending out your 2014 neon calendar this week!
Over on the New York Neon blog, a sad tradition: the list of neon signs we lost in the last year.
A slight change of operating procedure here — I'm going to start posting links, news, etc. (like the above) to the Project Neon Facebook page, rather than here on the blog, just to simplify things on my end.
It's been a while since I've been to Frank's, but isn't the neon wonderful? It lights up that corner of Tremont Avenue like gangbusters. More views over on Flickr.
Circo's Pastry Shop
(in Bushwick on Knickerbocker Street at Hart Street)
NB: The Project Neon giveaway winner will be announced soon!
Holy cow, you guys! Circo's Pastry Shop's recently restored neon is BEAUTIFUL. I emailed them ages ago to ask if they had any plans to relight their long-dark neon signs, and received a friendly reply that gave me some home that some day, maybe, it might just happen. But I know how these things go, and the chances of a large-scale neon restoration seem vanishingly small these days. But then, lo and behold, earlier this summer New York Neon blog reported the great news that super neon-bender Robbie Ingui of Artistic Neon had completed the restoration of the main signs. (I recommend reading that post for a wonderful behind-the-scenes report.)
With one thing and another I hadn't made it out there until last night. The long, dark winter nights mean it's now prime neon-viewing season, so I jumped on the L train and headed out to the far side of Bushwick — nearly to Ridgewood, Queens — to have a look for myself. (I was too cold to continue on to Queens Tavern née Caskys, but picking up some anisette biscotti and bringing them to the tavern for beer dunking sounds like a great neon double-feature for another time.)
There's a bold neon-red "BAKERY" on one side of the corner storefront, and a classic pink and green "CIRCO'S pastry shop" on the other. The capital letters have slab-serifs, and "pastry shop" is in one of the most appealing neon scripts I've seen yet. I'm seriously in love with this neon and glad I hauled myself out in the cold to visit.
You should go, too. You should really, really go. It's a fabulous Italian bakery, full of traditional Italian treats like biscotti di San Marino (only available in the fall near his feast day, November 11) and new-fangled confections, like custom-made cakes.
An aside about San Marino: he's the patron saint of wine-makers (a fall activity), and legend says that San Marino cut his cloak to give half to a beggar for warmth, so an unseasonably late warmth, near his feast day (what we call an Indian summer) is known in Italy (and France) as a St. Marino's summer (estate di san marino). I'm going to start using that. His feast is celebrated by eating biscotti di San Marino, and dunking them in new wine.
I settled on some anisette biscotti (I'm currently trying to corral the crumbs away from my keyboard), and marveled at the shop's classic details, like the name in terrazzo on the front step. According to the writeup over on New York Neon, the window neon is currently being repaired — can't wait to see that. And maybe, just maybe, the fantastic vertical "Dolceria" sign will come later. I hope so! If buying more biscotti will help, I'll certainly be back soon. (Especially since I'm not 100% pleased with my photos — apologies for the weird color shift!)
Circo's, you're the best, and a new Project Neon favorite. Thanks for restoring your sign, and thanks to Artistic Neon for doing such a beautiful job.
Gotham City Peep Show
(in Times Square on 8th Avenue between W 43rd & W 44th Streets)
A last reminder: the Project Neon giveaway ends tonight (Saturday) at midnight. Enter now!
I thought now might be a good time to point y'all to a short list of blogs of interest to neon fans. All are recommended!
First and foremost: the New York Neon blog. You've seen me link to it repeatedly — it's chock full of great history and photos & drawings of neon signs. Don't miss this recent post on the wonderful Riverside Liquors sign for just one small example.
Roadside Architecture is the behind-the-website blog of Debra Jane Seltzer and her sidekicks. The website it's behind is the enormous and encyclopedic RoadsideArchitecture.com site. Definitely worth visiting!
Ephemeral New York's beat often includes historic New York neon.
Eater New York isn't neon or even signage related, but in covering the latest news of the city's bars and restaurants, they often break news about neon signs.
DNA Info New York is very local neighborhood news of the city, and again, often breaks news about local neon signs.
Shorpy serves up amazing vintage photos daily. Search for neon and you're in for a treat.
Jeremiah's Vanishing New York will keep you up to date on the latest losses in the city, large and small, often just ahead of the wrecking ball so you can pay a last visit.
Where else do you get your neon news?

Report: Minton's project would decrease traffic
Original post made on Jan 20, 2010
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 4:03 PM
on Jan 20, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Somehow this report will not be taken as credible by the neighborhood nimby's.
In addition, Robert Cox should know better than have himself listed as the treasurer of the OMVNA Steering Committee when commenting and giving quotes on articles related to the Minton's project as the OMVNA has no official position. It should have read: "Robert Cox, member of MiRNA..."
Purposely listing himself as the treasurer of OMVNA in this case is clearly an attempt to once again have the OMVNA name used in opposition of the project. Shady at best...
on Jan 20, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Daniel DeBolt is a registered user.
There wasn't a request from Mr. Cox to have his title on the OMVNA board included in the story. And he is actually the secretary. I apologize for the error.
on Jan 20, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Then there was an error in reporting. Cox is the Secretary of OMVNA, not the Treasurer. That would be Coleman.

As a supporter I want trophies, but more importantly want the club to succeed over the long term. Despite disappointments since the last trophy, I believe the club has improved in many ways. The last trophy was the 2005 FA Cup and since that time the club has:
- Moved to a new stadium
- Has new majority ownership of the type that is in it for the long term.
- Remained profitable. Some foolishly dismiss profits, but profits are the strongest indicator of sustainability
- Built a new training facility.
- Remained relevant in England and Europe.
- Finished in the top four every year in the toughest league in the world. (Think that doesn't matter? Ask Liverpool or Tottenham.)
- Retained the leadership and vision of Arsene Wenger.
Of all these accomplishments the most important is retaining manager Wenger. Sports fans are no different from the general population in being too quick to dismiss the value of leadership and vision. Folks often act as if success is simply a matter of buying or trading for that player or running the right play or playing the right 11. Yes, all of those tactics contribute to success, but leadership and vision are more important. Want some back up for that claim? Ok, go read Good to Great or almost anything by Michael Porter. What! Those are about business what does that have to do with soccer? The ideas in Good to Great or Porter's articles have everything to do with soccer not because soccer is a business, but because leadership matters in every human organization. It matters in the military, at your parish, at your school, in your office.
Wenger provides leadership and vision and as long as he is in charge Arsenal will remain relevant.
Now let me also say, that the leader isn't always right and sometimes the vision is not exactly right.
Before he worked in MLB Bill James once wrote (paraphrasing): to build player loyalty clubs should invest in their minor league facilities. Players will respect and remember that and become more loyal to the club. That is one of the more naïve things Mr. James ever wrote.
I think manager Wenger shared this same naiveté and the club has suffered for it. Wenger plucks Nasari, Song, Fabregas, Henry, among others from obscurity and turns them into first rate players. Then when their stars are established instead of showing loyalty they leave (with varying degrees of maturity) to another club for much bigger money and, as it turns out, usually for greatly reduced playing time.
So when I look back over the past eight years I believe manager Wenger made the wrong bet in 2005. He underestimated the impact enormous amounts of money would have on his ability to find, develop and, importantly, keep young players and that misjudgment has kept the club from winning trophies. Does this diminish his successes and historic status at the club? No, of course not, but his vision was incorrect.
Of course, the club has been close to winning. No one can doubt that if Eduardo had remained healthy the club wins at least one league title. Or if RVP had been healthy more frequently. Or if Bendtner wasn't such a dolt.
So to compete for trophies it is my view the club should:
- Move out the dead wood. That is happening, just not fast enough for my taste, but I am don't own the P&L.
- If a younger player isn't going to be in the rotation then move or loan that player out. Young players have to play to get better. Coquelin and those young center backs come to mind. This is also happening and while I was sad to see Sanchez go, if he isn't going to make it he has to go for his benefit as well as the club's.
- Retain the right older players. Sagna and Rosicky need to be retained. Their mental attitude is valuable even as their skills and playing time diminish. I hope to see them both at the club six years from now providing leadership and experience like Giggs does at MU.
- Keep the keepers we have. Sure they made mistakes, but they all do. They also played great at times. Arsene has been right about this for a very long time: except for the greatest keepers, keepers are overvalued.
- Acquire the depth that allows the club to have essentially a first class "cup" team and first class league team and rotate all healthy players into the competitions.
- Acquire more offense. The club's problem last year wasn't defense, rather it was scoring particularly against the better teams. As well as a true defensive mid fielder the club needs another striker and if you can find him at the right price yet another scorer from the wing. Of course if Cesc wants to return you do everything you can to make it happen.
- Commit to an "everyone plays" mentality. , Bill Belichick famously said there are no free rides on the Patriots and every player plays. So no more hiding on the Arsenal bench. If you are healthy you play and if you don't play well you are gone. Banishment to Sheffield is the ultimate disciplinary tool. Use it.
- Week in and week out rotate the players. Rotate Sagna and Jenkinson. Rotate Gibbs and Nachoman. Rotate TV, BG and Kos. Rotate the keepers. Rotate, Arteta, Ramsey, the new DM, and Jack. Rotate Oliver and the new striker. Rotate Santi, Jack, Ox and Rosicky. Rotate Theo, Gervinho, Podolski, and a new winger. Keep the legs fresh. Dead legs are a player's biggest enemy and the most common cause of the little injuries that pull down a player's performance.
So that's it. Little old me, Darkandbloody, advising the great Wenger about what to do. What chutzpah, but like father always said, the great thing about opinions is everyone has at least one.

BECKLEY (WVVA) -- A man accused of firing shots at a Beckley apartment complex in December 2012 gets the maximum sentence.
Raymond Stoumile, 26, of Beckley pled guilty to wanton endangerment and possession of a firearm by a felon earlier this fall.
Friday, he was sentenced to five years for each charge, plus the maximum enhancement, due to the severity of the crime. Stoumile will spend 15 years in prison.
Stoumile fired shots with an AK-47 assault style weapon into the Hager Street Apartments in Beckley out of a car, while his fiance was driving. At the sentencing, there was much debate as to whether the shots were self-defense. However since Stoumile entered a guilty plea, self-defense could not be considered in the sentencing.

Online Research Surpasses Phone Surveys

I imagine most people will breathe a gentle sigh of relief with the title of this post. Figures released by the Council of American Survey Research Organizations show that more and more organisations are turning to online survey tools for their research requirements. It would seem likely that this trend is likely to occur in New Zealand and for those that are consistently disturbed in the evening by tele-researchers relief is on the horizon. It should be noted though that the telephone is not dead. There is still a place for it in many areas but the blanket random calling technique may soon be a thing of the past.Â

The Chicago Fire have re-signed German defender Arne Friedrich.
After signing with Chicago last March, Friedrich made 23 appearances and had one goal for the Fire. The 2-time German World Cup veteran was part of a back line that held opponents to 41 goals during the regular season, tied for second best in the Eastern Conference.
The Fire announced the signing Wednesday. Terms of the deal were not released.

China Likely to Ease Monetary Policy Next Year, But Scope Limited -Researcher
First Published Wednesday, 28th November 2012 09:23 am - © 2012 Dow Jones
BEIJING--China will likely ease its monetary policy next year to help boost employment and support struggling companies as relatively mild inflation gives the central bank room to maneuver, a senior researcher with China's top economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission, said Wednesday.
Chen Dongqi, deputy director with the planning agency's research department, told a financial forum that China may cut interest rates "by a certain extent" amid slower economic growth.
He didn't specify how much of a cut could be made, though he added that policymakers need to be cautious about any big move in monetary or fiscal policy. Some economists maintain that although price inflation may be moderate now, domestic and external factors could create greater price pressure later next year. Others contend that China needs to avoid a big stimulus program that could lead to wasteful spending and problem loans in the banking system.
Even though China's economy has been showing signs of recovery, companies are still under financial pressure amid an economic slowdown that has forced some to announce layoffs, the researcher said.
More than 10 million new jobs were created in urban areas in the first 10 months of this year but employment in rural areas declined, and the employment outlook isn't optimistic, said Mr. Chen.
China's central bank has cut interest rates twice this year as part of efforts to boost economic growth, but it hasn't made any further rate moves since its last reduction in July.
The central bank has also cut the bank reserve requirement ratio three times since November last year but it hasn't used this tool since its last action took effect in May. More recently it has relied on short term interbank money market operations to inject liquidity into the domestic market.
The researcher also said that China should cut rates to reduce the gap with interest rates in developed countries where they have fallen to almost zero in some cases. While he didn't elaborate, the higher onshore interest rates have usually been blamed for attracting "hot money," leading to asset bubbles.
China's gross domestic product growth is expected to reach 7.6% or 7.7% this year, he said, adding that growth will probably be higher next year. That growth level would be slightly better than the official target of 7.5% for this year but well below the levels of recent years.

American opportunities for North students
7:00am Wednesday 9th January 2013 in News By Barry Nelson, Health & Education Editor
TWO new exchange schemes are providing opportunities for York University students to study in the United States.
A new agreement with Denver University means one York undergraduate student will spend the academic year 2013/14 in Colorado. Meanwhile, a new International Study Centre in summer 2013 will give both undergraduates and postgraduates an opportunity to gain three weeks' valuable international experience in the States.
The initiatives are in addition to a number of long-standing links with the USA and Canada which already provide an opportunity to spend a year at a partner institution.
Under the new Denver exchange, the year in the States will replace the second year at York for students on three-year degree courses, or the third year for those on four-year courses.
Similar programmes are already run with universities including California University, Columbia University in New York, Illinois University and York University in Ontario, Canada.
For those unable to spend a full-year abroad, the new International Study Centre offers a chance to gain some valuable short-term international experience.
Professor John Robinson, York Universitys pro-vice-chancellor for teaching, learning and information, said: "We are committed to offering as many students as possible the opportunity to spend time overseas during the course of their degrees. For varying reasons, not all students wish to spend a year or semester abroad. For this reason, we have developed a short summer programme offering students an alternative international experience.
"We know that employers value proven international experience in their employees. The new programme will improve students' employability, leadership and advocacy skills, as well as provide a rewarding international experience."
The first International Study Centre (ISC) will run from June 20 to July 7, 2013 with 25 places for undergraduates or postgraduates, including final year students.
It includes a three-day cultural experience in New Year followed by an intensive cross discipline academic programme in Leadership and Social Change based at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts.

It may take a state law for the Arkansas Razorbacks and Arkansas State Red Wolves to meet up on the football field.
A pair of Arkansas lawmakers has filed legislation that would require the two football teams to meet up for one football game at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. The bill by Republican Rep. Andy Mayberry of Hensley and Democratic Rep. Harold Copenhaver of Jonesboro would require at least $250,000 of the ticket sales from the game to go to charity.
Mayberry set up a website, www.arkansasasubenefit.com , to poll visitors on whether they want the schools to meet up and which charity they'd like to benefit from the game. Mayberry said they won't run the bill if the majority of those polled don't support the matchup.

Our cows are greener than your cows
The study was conducted at the University of Manitoba by former master's student, Jenilee Bernier, who grew up on a cattle farm in the north interlake region of Manitoba, and who is now a forage and beef specialist with the provincial government.
The groundbreaking study showed that cattle emit 27 per cent less methane in the winter months, partly due to physiological changes that have evolved to acclimatize cattle to extended periods of time outside during cold, prairie winters.
It also discovered that cows pee less in winter - producing on average 1.3 litres less urine per day than during the fall.
All of which goes some way to vindicating the much vilified cow, which, considering the amount of nutrition it gives us, has taken more than its fair share of heat for everything from greenhouse gas emissions to groundwater contamination.
Whilst our bovine friends (on the Canadian Prairies at least) are basking in their new-found glory, it might be a good time to remind ourselves that the environmental degradation and health scares often associated with the products they give us are more often a result of the people who raise and process them than the poor animals themselves.

O ! Canada ! Folks in Canada make Gobar Gas from cow Shiite too! Great heating fuel! Runs cars too! We live on the Fringe of the Glorious Americans, but we manage to be cleaner, better educated, more environmentally conscientious, and sane about Socialist health care too! Quebec, environmental geniuses have developed huge perpetual, renewable, eternal hydro sources, over and above the U.S. penchant for dangerous uranium fed reactors. CANDU reactors in China now Thorium fueled!(originated in Canada!) Come on Harper! Stop playing hardball with the Americans! Show them "Hockey Night in Canada!"ReplyDelete
Trade with Asians must explode in this decade, to compensate for the lack-luster performance from South of our borders! Time is now, before the U.S. dollar is devalued with "Q 3, 4, 5, 6, Easings" We Canadians must learn to trade in Yuan, even adopt it as our "Black Market" currency - even horde it! Learning Mandarin in our high schools means a small effort to learn one more language in a multi-lingual culture!Many of our more successful business students will so follow this path! Our cattle not fed expensive U.S. corn soon enough and we already have legalized Hemp! Watch as cotton, wood pulp for paper, some building materials, and hemp seed and its preparations to feed Canadians become a new reality, as the U.S. burns its corn as ethanol in its obsession with cars.

A guide to understanding the responsibility of having, maintaining, and benefitting from your playoff beard.
I intend for this guide to be a simple and informative collection of relevant beard knowledge and wisdom. People that are unable to grow a playoff beard are still welcome to read this guide (except for Crosby, I hate that guy). But everyone else, teens, ladies, Tyler Seguin (it's not his fault, but it's true) are all invited to glean some beard knowledge and get a peak inside the Bearded Brethren (the holy order of the beard). There is a lot of work involved in having a playoff beard, there is more to it than simply hiding your razor and hoping your girlfriend doesn't notice.
It is well known and well documented that the most important thing a fan can do during the playoffs is grow a playoff beard. The growth of a wild beard draws power from old prophets and ancient gods (all of whom are well documented as being members of the Bearded Brethren). This power is then conferred to the team to assist them in dominating their foes. It is similar to the effect achieved by ritualistic sacrifices. Again, well documented, what follows is not my opinion, it's science.
Take care of your beard and your beard will take care of you . . .
Hygiene: Cleaning your beard is of incredible importance. Shampoo is ideal, but any kind of soap will function. This will keep your beard from getting that crusty sewer rat look. If you have a normal job, need to socialize with women or normal people, this is probably the most important step. This will also keep your beard smelling fresh and clean. A clean beard is a happy beard.
The Importance of combing: A wild beard has a tendency to grow in much the same way as bamboo. It is both chaotic and ordered. Both beautiful and terrible. It laughs in the face of any attempt to tame or control it. And some mornings you will awake to your beard mocking you with its independence, bed head on your face. Combing your beard gives the illusion of order, the facade of control. But make no mistake, combing your beard is not an act where you assert your dominance over your beard. In fact, it is almost identical to calming a tiger by petting it, remember comb in the direction of hair growth, not against the grain. Combing has the added side benefit of cleaning food, coffee, soup, cereal, and other food stuffs from your beard. These substances shame your beard if allowed to persist. Beer is the only exception. Originally discovered by the Vikings as a way of giving their beard, and thereby themselves, more power. An occasional offering of beer (which normal people will incorrectly interpret as spilling or dribbling) will help keep your beard strong.
Trimming: Trimming of the beard itself is permitted under no circumstances. In order for the team to benefit from the full power of a wild playoff beard, the beard must be grown in its natural wild habitat. By attempting to tame the wild beard with trimmer, scissors or razor, you will not only negate the benefit to the team, but you risk incurring the wrath of the ancient bearded gods. If you're lightning proof, by all means incur that wrath. Mustaches may be trimmed, groomed, or even shaved without any negative side effects.
The Mustache Exception: Your great and powerful wild playoff beard does not need to include a mustache. While the beard is symbolic of power, virility and all things masculine. The mustache, by contrast, is symbolic of deceit, weakness, and infantile behavior. You may elect to grow a lip ferret along with your beard as the power of your beard will far overpower the negative effects of the mustache. However, if you are one of the unfortunate that cannot grow a proper beard in conjunction with the mustache, you should under no circumstances allow the mustache to grow unchecked. In extreme cases this can result in Malign Hypercognitive Disorder (a.k.a. Evil Genius Syndrome), sociopathic tendencies, or even a desire to root for the Montreal Canadians.
The Neck Beard Exception: The exception to all of the above is for those unfortunate, cursed individuals who can only grow a neck beard. No one likes a neck beard. They are not attractive to look at. They are unpleasant to wear. And are unflattering in any kind of way. If you are one of these poor souls, don't feel bad, it's probably not your fault. It is most likely that your parents lost a bet with God. It is possible, that a life lived in purity, charity, and contrition may prevent your curse from passing to the next generation. There is no hope for you, but you could save your children from the same fate (as you are currently reading this and are therefore likely a regular of this blog, it's likely too late for them as well).
I hope this guide has helped you better understand your beard. And how vital that beard is to the success of the Bruins. I began the growth of mine when the Bruins clinched their playoff birth. If you have waited until now you are still contributing. The important thing is that we all do our part to assist in the pursuit of the Cup.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1956 Chrysler 300B
Chrysler's 300 series cars of the 1950s and 1960s were intended to provide a mix of both performance and luxury for buyers lucky enough to acquire one. In 1956, the automaker built just 1,102 300B coupes, and it's anyone's guess how many survive today. If you're looking to park a second-year 300 model in your own garage, this 1956 Chrysler 300B for sale on Hemmings.com may be just what you've been looking for. Calling the seller's description "comprehensive" is an understatement, as he outlines both the car's strong points and its weak points. Better than an average driver, the car sounds as if it could be a concours contender with fresh paint, a few repairs and a bit of attention to its interior. From the seller's description:
1956 Chrysler 300B, Correct numbers-matching, above-average vehicle with great documentation. Excellent body. High number 3 vehicle. Per Gil Cunningham of the Chrysler 300 Club International, the build sheet shows this car was heavily optioned with the following: PowerFlite Automatic Transmission; 3:36 Axle Ratio; Radio with Electro Touch Tuner with rear speaker; Electric Antenna; Heater; Convenience/Accessory Group, with vanity mirror; Solex Glass; left outside mirror; Power Group, with Power Steering; 4-way Power Seat and Electric Windows.
This car has very good provenance and has a Carl Kiekhaefer connection, as it was owned by a member of his race team, Mike Martin. Mike rebuilt the engine and transmission at 81,000. Comes with documentation in letter form as to what Mike did, i.e., engine was decked and bored .020, new pistons/rings, .010 under crank, valves and heads redone, new guides. In addition he rebuilt the transmission with new clutch packs, seals and reverse bands. Per documentation, the king pins and front suspension are new, new rear springs/rear shocks and wiring harness replaced. Engine and transmission now have about 4,600 miles on them. It's a proven drivetrain.
After purchasing the car from Mike, I did a mechanical restoration to the remainder of the vehicle: All of the following have been either replaced/rebuilt or redone by professionals. Since the car is a numbers-matching car, we retained and used all original parts, unless replacing items such as emblems/letters etc.
Original radiator redone by Glen-Ray, new belts, new hoses, correct Hemi thermostat housing with high flow thermostat, Hot Heads conversion for modern oil filter, starter rebuilt, new starter solenoid, generator rebuilt, new steering column/gears by "Steer and Gear," rebuilt Power Steering pump by Lares Corp., new heater core, rebuilt heater fan, engine painted/detailed, remote gas line filter with turn off, gas tank was removed and cleaned (was excellent) with new sending unit, new trunk panels, trunk carpet is original and stained, all tires balanced, replaced drivers exhaust manifold to get correct heat to carb/ choke, rebuilt all brakes including the emergency brake (will slide the tires), ignition is Pertronix with High Performance Pertronix coil, stainless side trim removed and professionally buffed, emblems and letters are new repros, new reproduction door sills, front turn signal lenses new, exhaust system is good, tires excellent, transmission cooler added, overflow bottle added, antifreeze filter added . All fluids flushed (brakes/transmission/radiator).
This vehicle has been Safety 23 Certified, per NSRA inspection. Only premium non-oxy, non-ethanol gas has been used. Car runs, drives, shifts very well. Body is very tight, without shakes or rattles on rough roads.
We drove this vehicle to the 2013 Walter P. Chrysler (WPC) Club National Meet, where it took 2nd Place in its class, Class 4, all 1955 and 1956 Chryslers. Not bad considering the high-dollar, fresh restorations in its class. Documented with photo of the trophy. I think the trophy is tribute to the fact that it was only the 1955s and 1956s that were actually raced and were AAA and NASCAR Champions. It took many years to equal Vicki Woods' record of 1956 on the sand at Daytona Beach. Later 300s couldn't match it for some time.
This vehicle is a high number 3 car, but does have its flaws. Paint is old repaint and thin on top of fenders and shows scratches etc. Good from 10 feet, should be stripped and repainted. Following do not work. Radio/power antenna. Didn't mess with it, as I'd convert it to CD etc. Clock doesn't work. Original washer bag there but not hooked up. Original trunk carpet is stained, haven't tried to clean it. Jack is missing. Speedo "jumps" sometimes, small dent on bottom of rear bumper.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1956 Chrysler Windsor convertible
Phantom cars are fun because they offer a glimpse at what could've been, and some are relatively simple to put together. Take, for instance, this 1956 Chrysler Windsor convertible for sale on Hemmings.com, done up as a 300B because Chrysler didn't see fit to build a 300-series convertible until a year later. After seeing this phantom B 'vert, we're hard pressed to figure out "Why not?" From the seller's description:
Chrysler did not offer a 300B convertible in 1956, but this is an authentic interpretation of what it would look like had they produced one. The body is a 1956 Chrysler Windsor Convertible with the grille professionally modified to reflect a 300B. It has tan leather Gary Goers interior, which was unique to only the 300B Coupes for that particular year. Also has the unique 300B Series emblems and badging and of course the 354 Hemi, with Dual Quad Carbs, that puts out 340hp. Ground-up restoration performed by the noted Bob Hayden of Kalispell, Montana, who has performed many high quality restorations on these rare letter cars over the years.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1956 Chrysler 300B
Anybody else really digging Chrysler's recent "Style" commercial showing all the vintage letter cars and other products from Walter P.'s company? This museum-kept 1956 Chrysler 300B may not have appeared in that commercial, but it definitely ranks right up there with the cars that did. From the seller's description:
This 1956 300 B is absolutely beautiful, with only 39,600 original miles, all mechanical and electrical systems completely restored perfect, 354 Hemi engine professionally rebuild, not oversized, brand-new pistons set plus everything NOS parts that could possibly be found by then, 2×4 carb incredibly detailed, all stainless exhaust system, brand-new Kelsey-Hayes and radial, foot-operated radio, steering pump, generator/starter/brakes all rebuilt to higher standard spec, all original interior, clean Chicago title ready for new owner's name. Car has been sitting for the last 2 years in a private museum, never got out for show, 73-year-old owner/collector just decided to put it for sale.
By the way, for those of you who click through and find yourself wondering how this car can be priced at $12,000, that's probably a typo, considering the seller claims the car to have been appraised at $120,000. UPDATE: And now we see it's priced at $1.2 million. UPDATE UPDATE: Another typo. Actual price is indeed $120,000.

The Italian wiseguys thumping the bikers in A Bronx Tale is a another great scene in an otherwise dull flick.

Gardy didn't have much to work with...
Against the BRAVES at home of all teams. Was there ever a worse lineup this season? Nice to have Morneau in there, but this lineup was just an offensive and defensive liability! Twins lost 7-3.
1. 2B Nick Punto
2. SS Trevor Plouffe
3. DH Joe Mauer
4. 1B Justin Morneau
5. CF Michael Cuddyer
6. RF Jason Kubel
7. LF Delmon Young
8. 3B Brendan Harris
9. C Drew Butera
