Rumor Roundup: March 30
By Douglas Bonjour
Jets Insider.com Staff Writer
March 26th, 2009
"I've been here and been through it before," Clemens said today of the quarterback competition.
Clemens explained that he feels "a lot more comfortable" in the position and as for the Cutler trade talks, he's taking a familiar approach.
"Me worrying about it or thinking about it is going to have nothing to do with it," Clemens said of the Cutler trade rumors. "I am approaching it the same way I did last year when everything started surfacing about Brett [Favre]."
As the Jets begin their first mini-camp under Rex Ryan, Clemens noted that his job is "to prove that we don't need to go outside of what is already in this locker room" to find the next starting quarterback.
Ratliff burst into the picture last summer after a strong preseason in which he led all AFC quarterbacks with a 122.6 rating. However, Ratliff's surprising performance turned out to be too little too late to join the Jets' quarterback competition. Despite not taking a single NFL snap, Ratliff is involved in the competition this season and he's ignoring the Cutler rumors.
"I try not to focus on things like that because I can't control that," he said. "I can control being here early. I can control how hard I work so that is what I am going to continue to do."
Is Brett Reuniting with Mangini?
For Browns head coach Eric Mangini and the recently-retired Favre, the lasting images of a once-promising season turned sour remain similar. As the Jets limped off the Meadowlands turf last December following a season-ending loss to the Dolphins, Mangini and Favre both appeared beaten and exasperated. Perhaps each knew that his brief tenure with the Jets was soon to end. Mangini was the first to leave town as he was fired the next morning, while Favre quietly announced his retirement just two months later.
Now as Mangini prepares for his second stint as an NFL head coach while Favre relaxes at home in Mississippi, the two are reportedly discussing a reunion. The Daily News reported late last week that Mangini and Favre have been exchanging text messages since the Jets' season ended on Dec. 29 and the idea of Favre joining his former coach at Browns' training camp has been raised.
Favre remains under contract with the Jets so he would be unable to serve as a coach on Mangini's staff, however Mangini explained that Favre could join the team as an instructor for quarterbacks Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn.
While reports circulated during the Jets' collapse that the relationship between Mangini and Favre had withered, Mangini disupted that notion in his conversation with the Daily News.
"We had a legitimately good relationship," Mangini said. "I like Brett a lot. That was a tough situation for him to come into and I thought he handled it incredibly well."
An intersting scenario considering that some could say that Favre's bad play during the final quarter of last season ultimately resulted in Mangini's demise in NY.
Jets on the Move for Training Camp
As the Jets concluded training camp last August, they closed the doors on their 40-year stint at Hofstra University. The Jets then welcomed their $75 million state-of-the-art facility in Florham Park, N.J., but the site of this season's training camp was left unclear. The Jets have not mentioned possible locations, but it is believed that head coach Rex Ryan is considering Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. and SUNY-Cortland.
While a return to Hofstra would surely please the team's Long Island fan base, Ryan really seems to want to get away.
Jets Sign Strickland
The Jets continued to improve their re-tooled defense yesterday as they signed cornerback Donald Strickland to a three-year contract. Strickland played in 14 games (three starts) with the 49ers last season and primarily covered the slot receiver in nickel and dime packages. The Jets had been seeking a third cornerback to feature with Darrelle Revis and Lito Sheppard and Strickland will certainly fill that void. Former Ravens cornerbacks Corey Ivy and Samari Rolle met with the Jets earlier in the offseason, but both players left without signing a contract. Ivy has since inked a deal with the Browns while Rolle remains unsigned.
In 49 career games, Strickland has totaled 147 tackles (105 solo), two interceptions and 15 passes defensed.
With Strickland now in the fold, second-year cornerback Dwight Lowery's role will certainly decrease. Lowery rose up the depth charts and started in the Jets' season-opening win over the Dolphins last season after a strong training camp, but his coverage skills weakened and he was replaced by Ty Law by mid-season. Lowery will now likely have to compete for playing time with Drew Coleman, who was rarely featured in Mangini's defensive plans. Coleman played in just nine games last season and recorded 23 tackles and one sack.
Pettigrew Reportedly on Team's Radar
While the Jets continue to build their defense through free agency, they will certainly focus on improving the offensive side of the ball in April's NFL Draft. Florida's Percy Harvin and North Carolina's Hakeem Nicks both highlight a talented wide receiver crop, yet the Jets' interest in both players could be waning. The Star-Ledger is reporting that the team has "cooled" on the idea of drafting Harvin or Nicks to fill the void left by Laveranues Coles.
However, the Star-Ledger is also reporting that Oklahoma State tight end Brandon Pettigrew has "surfaced on their radar." Pettigrew, (6-5, 263 pounds) is the top prospect at the position and is viewed as an excellent blocker with solid pass-catching skills.
The Jets' need for a tight end grew after Chris Baker signed a contract with the Patriots earlier in the offseason. Dustin Keller is the lone tight end on the Jets' depth chart and his blocking skills remain a work in progress. Ryan envisions the Jets featuring a run-heavy offense and therefore, having a tight end who can block is imperative.

A tattoo may be permanent, but elements like sunlight and dry air can cause your body art to fade over time. Luckily, tattoo artist Louis Molloy, who created many of David Beckham's famous emblems, just launched a skin care line designed especially for inked skin. "A tattoo is a lifetime investment," Molloy said. "With 30 years of experience, I know a quality tattoo deserves the best aftercare." Aptly named Forever Ink, the range includes two hero products—a vitamin E-infused tattoo balm ($12) to ease the healing process and a tattoo shield ($21), which serves up a generous helping of SPF 45 to prevent fading.

It's hard to dislike this Twickenham-based quartet. Their foppish indieboy spin on classic folk-rock is, more often than not, perfectly listenable. But you can't help but wonder, between all the gleeful strums and wizened howls, whether they possess the inner torment to carry off such worldly material.

Abstract. We report on sulfur dioxide (SO2) induced formation of aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei in an SO2 rich aged (9 days) pollution plume of Chinese origin, which we have detected at 5–7 km altitude during a research aircraft mission over the East Atlantic off the West coast of Ireland. Building on our measurements of SO2 and other trace gases along with plume trajectory simulations, we have performed model simulations of SO2 induced formation of gaseous sulfuric acid (GSA, H2SO4) followed by GSA induced formation and growth of aerosol particles. We find that efficient photochemical SO2 conversion to GSA took place in the plume followed by efficient formation and growth of H2SO4-H2O aerosol particles. Most particles reached sufficiently large sizes to act as cloud condensation nuclei whenever water vapor supersaturation exceeded 0.1–0.2%. As a consequence, smaller but more numerous cloud droplets are formed, which tend to increase the cloud albedo and to decrease the rainout efficiency. The detected plume represents an interesting example of the environmental impact of long range transport of fossil fuel combustion generated SO2.

In my ultra-competitive 13-team Yahoo Plus league I am looking to add a decent starter who ks guys. At this point in the season the pickings are slim and all attempts at trading for a stud have yielded nothing. So, off to the wire...
There sits Bronson with a ghastly ERA of 5.29 and hideous WHIP at 1.61
But I looked at his log and saw two horrid performances and a bad day early. I only took out the two horrid games where he gave up 8 runs in 3.2 innings (Game 5 home v. Houston) and 7 runs in 1.1 innings (Game 7 @ Atlanta).
The result?
Bronson Arroyo has an ERA of 3.47 and a WHIP at 1.39. These numbers include that 5 runs in 5.2 innings game in Game #2.
I think he's worth a look, guys, if you need someone just below stud.

Before & After: Jenna's Living Room Makeover
Jenna's living room was filled with furniture that she loved, but that wasn't working in her new home. Here's how she transformed the space by letting go and bringing in some new color and pieces:
From Jenna:
Over the past 3 years since moving into my home, this space has been forever in transition. Much of the room was filled with furniture that was meaningful to us, but just didn't fit. Many of the pieces were difficult to part with because they were first purchases from our wedding 10 years ago. The room itself is also awkward with very little wall space, resulting in a space that has taken awhile to fully pull together.
After rearranging the furniture and actually putting a bookcase in front of a window, the room started coming together. Last summer, I decided to paint the walls a deep navy hue and the room started to take shape. Upon moving out our forever-loved furniture, and replacing them with pieces that actually work for the space, the room now makes sense. It not only feels larger but doubles as a home office. The one large wall (which actually has a window on it but is hidden by a bookcase) is filled with a large sofa and 6' of shelving space for styled books and accessories. Additionally, I have one wall dedicated to a GIANT inspiration board. Color, texture, and strategic styling have really made this room complete.
For a space that I dreaded walking into before, now I can't leave. I feel inspired and happy in my new home office / family room.
For more photos and details, check out Jenna's blog, SAS Interiors.
Thanks, Jenna!

I'm glad it works for the owner; I would never want to cover a window. I enjoy the hanging fixture.
My mom has definitely climbed into my head - I'm cringing at the natural trim having been painted.
You covered a window?!?
I'm so glad you were willing to take the chance of placing the shelf in front of the window. The smaller window made the room appear off balance to me anyway so good for you! I think the room looks amazing.
So where'd you ditch your old stuff cuz' I'd dumpster dive it in a minute. The before was good the after is stunning.
The after looks so fantastic! I didn't even notice that was a window. It looked like a door.
Honestly, I like the before better but that's because I like the traditional look better than something more hip and young. After room obviously is very fresh looking and pretty too!
Wow so much brighter! Looks great.
LOL I have that same green color on my walls of my living room! I really do like the blue. I did not even know that was a window, thought it was a door.
I love the after. The before was fine, but kind of a snooze. I don't know why people insist on keeping trim unpainted even if it looks dated. Good for you for freshening up your space!
The paint in the first kind of resembled split pea soup. I'm not sure if that's the lighting or if the sofa accentuated the undertones. The trim looks so much better white.
I don't think she actually covered the window, I think you just can't see it with the bookcase and the angle. Looks great!
I don't understand the big deal with painting trim either. If the style of the room is clean and contemporary, unpainted trim just looks unfinished. It stands out. And when it's plain ol' boring baseboard that's not a good thing. That's just my opinion though.
The room looks fantastic. Covering the window wasn't a huge deal because there's a wall of windows right beside it letting in more than enough light. Putting the bookcase in front of it works.
The blue is beautiful - and I love the light fixture.
I also like that the chevron fabric on the pillow and the back of the chair matches.
Can I please have the red lamp from before? Love the after, tho!
Love the after! Is that the same coffee table?
The after is... awesome.
I think that the painted/unpainted trim discussion is like the wallpaper/no wallpaper discussion.
If you grew up with painted trim and/or wallpaper and then wanted your own look you went through the time and hassle (and it is a HUGE hassle) to strip paint from trim or wallpaper and you viscerally HATE painted trim or wallpaper.
Then the next generation who grew up in the homes with all that lovingly stripped trim thinks that painted trim looks new and clean... and the world keeps on turning.
If you don't think painting trim is a big deal then you have never stripped painted trim. I grew up in a Victorian home that my parents (actually all of us) were restoring. Stripping trim was horrible.
Great wall color, and I like the window treatment.
Ditto: The after is... awesome!
Nice transformation! Fresh and vibrant! Good color choices. The lighting looks so much better in second photo I think the first photo would have shown that the place was pretty cool to begin with if the lighting had been the same.
The paint looks entirely different on Benjamin Moore's site.
I am in the paint the trim camp. Especially if it's just cheap trim. So many houses have just cheap wood trim that I feel it's totally fine to paint it. A historic home with old wood mahogany is a different discussion.
Back to the before & afters above- nice work! Excellent use of color & getting those colors to pop with a balance of white & wood.
My favorite piece is your coffee table. Looks like you kept the iron frame and swapped out the glass to salvaged wood. Lovely!
She covered a window!!! Oh the humanity of it all (or as Sheldon Cooper has said "the humanities!")!
But wait, the window is in the corner, next to the larger window, on the side. And not that big. And in an odd place, too. Well, no huge loss to cover it up.
The new is nicer and more up to date, but I still need to get used to the sofa being in the corner of the room. Must start thinking out of the box.
I admit that I too tend to keep furnishings longer than is useful. It may be harder for me since I made my own shelving system and entertainment center (maple and cherry for a nice contrast). Someday, the purge may come.
It looks amazing, clean and fresh with some nice pieces. You get so much light from that main window anyway, and the space is much more harmonious without that extra window. A lovely space! (hope you didn't get rid of that red lamp though!)
I like it very much. Very bright and vibrant.
It somehow reminded me very strongly of the cover of the big book of small, cool spaces. I checked and even though it isn't the same at all - somehow it resembles that room in color-scheme, rhythm and dynamics. Am I making any sense?
Wow, that's an amazing re-do. Lovely!
I think the room gets plenty of light from the near floor to ceiling windows on the other wall.
Depending on the direction of the house/light it may have not mattered much to cover it up. We have a window that doesn't really "mean" light other than very early in the morning and the rest of the room is flooded with light already. Calm down, guys!
I want the rug from the before shot, please.
I like the bookcase in front of the window. I thought that was a door too! The blue walls really punch up the room with all that natural sunlight.
nice work, Jenna!
I definitely LOVE the after! Initially I thought, "You covered a window?" as well, but it wasn't because there was a lack of light in the after version. If anything, it looks much brighter. My only concern in covering the window is, "What does it look like from outside?" I don't like to see furniture in front of a window, and may have designed my bookshelf with a frosted glass back instead of solid wood, but I have no idea if you're on a second story, or if your window backs up to a fence or your neighbor, with no real "picture" to consider from the exterior. Good job! Letting go of furniture you love is HARD to do. I had to say goodbye to my 5 year-old sectional when I bought my house, and I still miss it to this day. But, round pegs don't fit in square holes. Que sera sera!
Awesome job! Where's the cool mirror from? I've been looking for the perfect round one for a while.
Looks happy and bright.
I'm afraid I also prefer the Before. That's because I don't like white furniture or trim against dark walls. From the Before photo, I like the glass topped table, the large area rug and the muted colour palette of sage, yellow, amethyst with touches of black. I think just painting the trim a darker tone, raising the curtain poles, and adding lighter curtains and a mirror would have made a huge difference.
I like the After, but it annoys me when the photography/lighting is altered to enhance After pics. You can see that it is the same sofa in both photos, yet the sofa is MUCH darker in the Before photo - obviously from the lighting and photography. I understand why they do this, but I would prefer to see consistency between the Before and After.
Agreed, while the after is certainly nice, it's mostly just a much nicer photo.
You can overexpose anything and make it look good, which is why white walls photograph so well for modern homes, but in real life a painted wall with mouldings looks much more polished than a bare white wall.
The after looks great, bright and fresh, but I wish you'd kept that lovely red lamp. I think it could've worked with the new color scheme. At the very least, I hope it has a home somewhere else in your place.
My living room looks very much like the before and I've been itching to change it up but not sure what to do. This is so inspiring. The room looks great! Covered window and all! ;)
Fantastic! The dinky window was out o place anyway and people! The ONLY wood u shouldn't paint is high end,like,Mahogany!! The wood around that window was meant to be painted! As is all this revolting oak trim in SO many suburban homes. If u want some wood/nature in your house buy quality furniture or pick the best floors! Sorry not even about your post. Your after is super great. So fresh and airy. hMh
Brilliant idea about the bookcase in front of the window and I love the new treatment for the coffee table.
Darina - that round mirror, or one very similar, can be found at Target.
Traditional for me. I like the before, the after is nice. I never thought to cover a window but I have a tiny one I will consider covering. Thanks!
Love, love, love the After. Just wondering, though: Did you keep the rug from Before? It might be just the way the colors appear on my screen, but it looks to me like that Before rug would go beautifully in the After room, too. (OK, fine, I'm not a fan of animal-skin rugs or rugs that mimic those shapes!) Lots of ideas/inspiration in here -- thank you for sharing!
I love how you updated the coffee table by taking out the glass and adding the wood. It looks great!
Gee, In concept, covering a window doesn't work for me, but this looks great and logical. I was totally thinking how awesome the after looked and wondering who could prefer the before when I looked up at my own living room. Green walls? Check. Big window? Check. Iron and glass coffee table? Check. Wood floors? Check. Dark wood bookshelves? Check. The before could BE my living room!
I guess I have some thinking to do.
Where is the coffee table from in the after shot?
I love it. I notice the ceiling light first! The blue walls are a great backdrop for the white and pops of red and yellow. THe ikat patterns are great too
and I'm all about zigzag right now- my new living room drapery :)
Gorgeous! Lovely blue hue, white and blue together always packs a wallop of serenity.
Smoking hot, great job!!!
My only tweak: frost that window to keep privacy and let light in, then open up the back of the bookshelf on that side. It'd be a wonderful spot to display glass and crystal items.

And Yes I Said Yes I Will Yes.
(All writing published here is owned by me unless cited otherwise.)
Buffalo Bill shook his sombrero
to start the crowd clapping for your big finale,
before your mustang lurched under your kick
each week for seventeen years,
and those in the stands of The Wild West Show
waved their arms like lariats in the dusty air,
before you tossed back your hair,
cocked that sleek rifle, and aimed
at the soaring glass balls
that splattered like pigeons at your bullet's touch,
you were just
Phoebe of Patterson Township,
nine, a child with a gun,
distraught over the death of your father;
a girl walking away
from Woodington, Ohio,
into the wild woods,
where, before an audience of pine,
you would hunt food for the hungry
family you'd left behind.
Marjorie Maddox, "Annie Oakley"
(Happy Birthday, Annie Oakley)
You're a sadist too, I know.
But I don't waste much time thinking about you
Not when I am clamped all around-
Not when you are
Four fingers deep,
I mean
I'm a mess but I love chaos
Like you love evasion
Like I want power
Like you want me
And this is the way we fuck.
We fuck ourselves clean.
Cigarettes left his lungs like winter trees;
Hibernating behind grey-lidded eyes for months in lethargy
They told me it feels like
Walking home after dark: fresh and secret
Finally allowed to ignore the aches of nostalgia
But I don't know what death does to a person
Last dream, last sweat, last three movements of the chest.
There was water in the lake now frozen, where has the water gone?
My friend Nancy tells me she'll be buried on this summer's hill where daysprings meet the aging farmer before dawn has torn the covers
from the night; where beauty is at home. And so it will be when
Nancy's three mean daughters have grown old themselves
and one day travel long to stand beside her grave, they
will have to run the gauntlet of this grace, come face
to face with what is beautiful in what we have
not made, stand on the highest rise
above the valley
thinking what a thing a lifetime is.
Let not even I imply she should have saved her money, spent the eleven thousand, three hundred and fifty dollars on Lipitor and long term care insurance, thus assuring these three daughters—not even really nice as children—would burn her body up and pay some stranger to sprinkle the ashes (that is what they will call us then) out on the Atlantic, because, "Mother liked the sea."
The sea: that grave no one will frown if you don't visit.
There are not many ways to bring our children home.Linda McCullough Moore, "Hawthorn Mountain"
I never saw my father kiss anyone
not even my mother. Surely I'd remember—
a shadow image in my blood: him kissing
someone somewhere for some reason
even if only for duty.
(In that image he bends his head to a child
or smaller adult, touches a wrist with one finger,
slides his arm around a shoulder.
In the shadow he bobs his head near her cheek:
but do his lips really touch skin?)
What I can't believe is that I was conceived
without kisses. There must have been kisses—
even if they floated out the window
to be smashed by the bombers rumbling overhead
nine months before my birth.
Here's what I'd like to believe: before
bombs and blackouts, he was the sweetest
smoocher, the easiest man to laugh with
when someone like me strolled with him
beside the sea, her arm tucked warmly into his.

Offered is this 45 RPM record by Bruce Porter & the Bellhops. Tracks are: GO LITTLE GO GO GIRL / THE ?. Catalog # 104 of Lee records label of Hornell, NY. "A" side is early rockabilly with vocal, "B" side is instrumental. I grade records by Goldmine standards and this record grades a good VG+/VG+. Vinyl still has good gloss with just minor scuff. labels have yellowed some but are free of writing and wear. The play is great with not skips, repeats or popping. Only audible noise is at cut in and fade. I know how important condition is with records thats why I offer full guarantee of cost, shipping and return shipping to U.S. buyers. All I ask is that I be notified of problem within three days of receipt and that record be returned to me in the condition it was sent within one week. No refund will be issued until retrun is made. I will sell to overseas buyers provided they contact me prior to bidding. Depending on sale price overseas buyers may be required to have item sent by registered mail, which can be expensive. I will not pay postage for overseas returns and no refunds will be issued until item is retruned. After ten years of of selling on Ebay and only charging buyers exact postage I have been forced by Ebay greed to include a $1.00 handling charge. This is due to a new policy of charging sellers final value percentage fee on shipping cost. I do not profit on shipping!!!!! and it is unfair, but it is what it is. The shipping cost you see is actual postage plus $1.00. This does not apply to any of my actions that are listed as free shipping. Free shipping is to lower forty eight only. All others inquire. I will ship at cheaper parcel post rates upon request and I'm glad to combine shipments on multiple wins. Paypal or ask.

's a Great Old Vintage Ships Lantern that has been made into a Beautiful Nautical Table Lamp. This is a solid brass, English made, real ships lantern. The trade mark name on the lantern is Sea Horse G B (see photo 7). I believe that this lantern is a running lamp for a smaller boat, such as a launch or tug boat. It has a clear lens facing forward, a red lens facing to the port side, and a green lens facing to the starboard side. The port and starboard lenses are made of very thick glass.This Beautiful Old English Ships Lantern is made of Solid Brass that has been soldered together. The brass has a beautiful aged patina. The lantern has a strap on the upper back side that would have been used to mount it to a masthead or other suitable location (see photo 5). This lantern was mounted to a beautiful heavy piece of solid magohany wood for use as a table lamp. The shade shown in the photos is not included in the auction. The measurements of the lantern and wood base only, and not including any of the lamp parts (also excluding the ring on the top of the lantern), are: width 10 1/2 inches, depth 5 1/4 inches, height 10 inches. This lantern/table lamp could easily be converted back to a ships lantern only, while leaving the small buld inside the lantern electrified. This Great Old Vintage English Solid Brass Ships Lantern/Table Lamp is in Very Good Vintage Condition. It is up for auction with no reserve. It would be Great Vintage Nautical Decor, or a Great Addition to a Collection. It is up for auction with no reserve. Please feel free to ask any questions. Payment is due within seven days from end of auction. As always, satisfaction is guaranteed. Happy bidding!

This was recommended by our local holistic pet store as a vitamin supplement to help as part of a general nutrition program in prevention of further mast cell cancers when she was diagnosed 2 yrs ago. Who knows if it was this product, but it improved her skin and coat, her energy levels have been great, and no one believes she's 9! And she was in remission for 1 yr before another skin tumor returned. Our dog loves the taste of this product and I like that it is all natural and easy to give.
I have English Cockers I run in AKC agility and this products keeps them on top. Both are going to Orlando to the AKC Invitational.
After 2 bouts of mast cell skin cancer last yr, I was looking for natural ways to boost my dog's immune system...and this product + IcelandPur sardine/anchovy oil (also sold here) were recommended.
My dog LOVES this product...food is gone in a flash! So far, so good. Won't hurt. Great skin, coat and energy and people can't believe she's 8 yrs old! Great teeth too :-)
Used on cocker spaniel with skin problems, smell and blacken skin. Appears to rectify yeast problems in the stomach. All problems are gone, product has been recommended to daughter with 2 labradors with itching concerns.

They struggled to qualify for the World Cup, so it was assumed that they weren't going to do well in the World Cup. Surprisingly, they have been playing really well and are now in the Round of 16. They're going to be facing the Netherlands, who have been playing amazingly, so it'll be a tough game for them to win but there's still a chance that they could win it. No matter what, I'll always go for them and I wish them the best. Is your team still in it to win the World Cup or have they been eliminated like a lot of front runners have, i.e. Spain. Let me know. Well, have a good day and God bless.

Inn of the Sixth Happiness [1958]
An epic and extraordinary true story--or, at least, an extraordinary story based on a novel (Alan Burgess's The Small Woman) based on a true story. Gladys Aylward (an improbably mesmerizing Ingrid Bergman) is a British would-be missionary with an obsession about China. As she has no experience, the Missionary Society won't let her go, but she goes anyway, alone, to a remote northern province. She is hated, then loved; finally she becomes both a significant political figure and the heroine of a miraculous escape in which she shepherds 100 children to safety across the mountains just ahead of a Japanese invasion. Curt Jurgens is suitably stony as Lin Nan, the half-Dutch, half-Chinese military officer who falls in love with her, and a visibly ailing Robert Donat (who died before this, his final film, was released) is the wily local mandarin who sees and makes use of her extraordinary abilities. Directed by Mark Robson, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness is a sweeping, stirring tearjerker, a big tale told in a big landscape with acres of orchestrated strings by Malcolm Arnold. A beautiful and beautifully made film that's a classic of the "everyone said I couldn't but I did it anyway" genre. --Richard Farr
Dr. Robinson, do you remember me? My name used to be Gladys Aylward.
Dr. Robinson:
Yes, I remember you. Gladys Aylward, who wasn't qualified to come to China. Will you come with us to our children's village? I can think of no one who would be more valuable.
Thank you, but I'm going back to Yang Cheng. I'm going home.

In this continuing segment, "Ask an Oakland Raiders Fan," Just Blog Baby had the pleasure of being contacted by William Carlos Sanchez. Carlos Sanchez is from Fontana, CA, via San Gabriel Valley, 20 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. He grew up a Raiders fan, ever since he was 10 years old. He is fast approaching his 25th year as a fan. Carlos played for the Rowland Raiders Junior All-American team and for the Rowland Raiders high school team. He feels like he has always been a Raider, and he feels that he has bled Silver & Black.
Carlos answered the following questions for me, and these were his responses:
1. How well do you think the Oakland Raiders will perform in 2013? Discuss.
Answer- The Raiders are in the midst of a full-blown organizational transformation. We have a new owner, GM, coaches, scouting department, and players. A new OC, O-line, and with it a new offensive scheme, a new QB, and on Defense we will have 9 new starters. A good year in the NFL is said to be 2 plus,
with improvement from the previous year. So a 6 win season is respectable, especially if everyone is picking our Raiders to be the worst team with the worst roster and the worst QB. But I believe in this team, McKenzie, Coach Allen, the coaching staff, and these players. I am predicting a 7-8 season, and the Raiders will be in playoff contention till the last week of the season. GO RAIDERS!!!"
2. What is your favorite off-season move that was made by the Oakland Raiders? Explain.
Answer- "I really think McKenzie has done a great job signing and drafting solid football players. Charles Woodson coming back to Raider Nation solidifies this organization as a legitimate franchise. His worth will be felt on and off the field. Bringing in Nick Roach to man the middle after suffering with 'McCrap' (Rolando McClain) for the past 3 years is huge. Roach, along with basically all new and returning players, have something to prove, and they are hungry to be a part of the resurgence of the Raiders!!"
3. Can Denarius Moore become an elite receiver? If so, what must he do to become one?
Answer- "Moore has shown flashes of greatness. My personal favorite game performance was his rookie year against the Buffalo Bills. Moore & Campbell Soup were clicking and unstoppable, but our 'D' couldn't stop anyone and we lost. I believe he has what it takes to be elite, but it all has to come together, hopefully this year, because if he doesn't, Streeter & some rookies are gunning for his job and playing time."
4. Who is your favorite Oakland Raider of all time, and why?
Answer- "My all-time favorite Raider is Bo Jackson. He would've gone down as one of the greatest players ever, and not just a running back. He excelled in multiple sports, and he was my hero because of that. I played football, baseball, and ran track and field. Touchdown Timmy Brown is a close second. Of course Jim Plunkett & Tom Flores have to be mentioned. Both are Chicano/Hispanic, and they are the only 2-time Super Bowl Winning QB and Head Coach not in the Hall of Fame. What a shame!!"
5. What is your favorite Oakland Raiders memory, and what is a typical tailgate party like for you at home games?
Answer- "Going to a Raiders game with my dad & godson is always priceless. Going with the boys or my wife is always good times. Tailgating at the Los Angeles coliseum as a kid was awesome and a BBQ of carne asada or hot links and cheeseburgers, and plenty of beers at the south end parking lot in Alameda, can't be topped."
"However my favorite memory was from 1994. As a kid with my cousin, we went to a Raiders game against the donkey's (Denver Broncos) in LA. We scalped two 50 yard line seats for $10, a couple of beers, and some grub, we watched the Raiders stuff the Broncos 4 times on the goal line to win the game. Not only did we get to watch the Raiders cream Elway, but we talked crap to Shannon Sharpe from our seats. That was the best!!"
Nice memory. I especially like the part about John Elway getting creamed, and Shannon Sharpe getting heckled. Great job. I never had the pleasure of attending a game at the LA Coliseum, but you made it sound awesome. Thank you for the memory.
I would like to extend my thanks to Carlos Sanchez for taking the time to conduct this interview. Again, if any of Raider Nation would like a chance to answer a few questions themselves, please contact me via email. I will be continuing this segment through July 25th (The start of training camp).

The Nashville Predators took a road game mentality into their final home game of the season and emerged with a wild 7-5 win over the visiting Chicago Blackhawks.
The last time in Bridgestone Arena for the 2013-2014 campaign looked and felt much like an away contest for Nashville as thousands of raucous Blackhawks fans saw their squad come up short in the game's final minutes.
Energized by perhaps the most support they've had in an away game all season, the Blackhawks came out flying in the first period and put two pucks past Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne.
The Predators weren't completely void of resiliency though. Nashville tied the time early in the third before a wild final 10 minutes saw the Predators Paul Gaustad ultimately put in the game winner with under three minutes remaining in the contest.
"Yeah we knew there was going to be a lot of Blackhawks fans here, it's something we talked about before the game. It was really nice to send them home disappointed," Predators forward Matt Cullen said with a smile.
Concluding their season series with a 4-1 record against the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Predators used a "road game" mentality to take down the Blackhawks one last time.
"We've been pretty good on the road, so I didn't mind all their fans too much. I went for lunch today and all I saw was red all over, I even saw a Blackhawks flag at one point. I thought that would give us some great motivation to let them come downtown and go home sad. That was my goal," Nashville head coach Barry Trotz said.
Five third period goals for Nashville worked to quiet a contingent of Blackhawks faithful that had been pleased with their team's play for the majority of the contest.
"We took their fans out of the game when it mattered," Nashville winger Eric Nystrom said. "That was a fun one for our fans, probably not as much for the coaches or even as a player, but that was a great last home game."
Two straight goals for Nashville tied the contest at two in the second frame before Blackhawks winger Matt Carey's first NHL goal helped give Chicago the lead after 40 minutes.
The Predators went to the locker room with chants of "Let's go Hawks" ringing in their ears and a scoreboard that favored Chicago 3-2 to boot.
But three Nashville goals across the final three minutes of regulation gave the Predators their fourth win of the season when trailing after two periods. For the second time this campaign, the Predators scored seven goals in a single game against the Blackhawks and they needed just about all of them tonight.
"Who knows how we even did that?" Cullen said. "It's just one of things, sometimes you get all the bounces against one team and it's one of those funny things of the game. Against certain teams it just seems to go your way and the puck finds its way in for you. I guess that's the Blackhawks for us."
It's on to an actual road game for the Predators where the club will take on the Minnesota Wild to conclude their 2013-2014 season.
"We just need to continue to do what we've been doing. We've played some really good hockey down the stretch," Cullen said. "Unfortunately it's too little, too late as far as the playoffs are concerned. But we're proud of the way we've played recently and we've taken some big strides with our young group. So it would be nice to end on a good note in Minnesota."

UPDATE 1-Merkel fights for majority in tight German election race
* Merkel seen winning third term in Sunday election
* Chancellor may face tough "grand coalition" talks
* New anti-euro party could win seats for first time
* No major shift in euro policy expected
By Noah Barkin
BERLIN, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Chancellor Angela Merkel looks on track to win a third term in a weekend election in Germany but faced a battle to preserve her centre-right majority and avert a potentially divisive coalition with the centre-left.
Sunday's vote is being watched across Europe, with many of Berlin's partners hoping it will bring about a softening of the austerity-first approach Merkel has promoted since the euro zone debt crisis began four years ago.
But the chance of major shifts in her euro policy are slim, even if forced into a right-left grand coalition with the Social Democrats - whose candidate for chancellor, Peer Steinbrueck, has criticised Merkel for choking off growth in southern members of the currency bloc by insisting on far-reaching spending cuts.
"Germany remains committed to euro zone membership, but public opinion and institutional constraints ... limit the scope for any German government to drastically alter course towards more generous support policies," analysts at Citi Research said.
Two opinion polls on Friday showed Merkel's conservatives and their Free Democrat (FDP) coalition partners in a dead heat with the combined leftist opposition on 45 percent each, while a third poll showed her coalition a point ahead of Steinbrueck's SPD and its potential allies on the left by 45 percent to 44.
The final poll on Friday by the Emnid institute for Bild am Sonntag newspaper showed Merkel's conservatives - her Christian Democrat CDU and its Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) - fully 13 points ahead of the SPD, meaning she will almost surely return for a third term.
But the uncertain performance of smaller parties makes the election in Europe's largest economy too close to call.
Merkel could win a narrow majority with the FDP, her preferred partner, or fall short and be forced into difficult negotiations with the SPD which could last up to two months and result in big changes to her cabinet, including the departure of Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, a key player in the crisis.
The wild card is a new anti-euro party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which was polling around 4 percent and so could still manage to vault over the 5-percent threshold needed to win seats in parliament on election night.
That could doom Merkel's hopes of continuing her current coalition and stir concerns about rising German euroscepticism - though its impact on government policy would likely be limited.
Merkel, at a campaign rally late on Friday, again spoke out against proposed measures to address the euro zone debt crisis by having Berlin share in underwriting the risk on other sovereign borrowers' debts.
"We reject eurobonds and debt mutualisation," Merkel told a rain-soaked crowd in Hanover. "Other parties want that and that's why I'm asking for your vote for the CDU."
Also complicating forecasts is a large group of undecided voters, estimated by pollsters at more than 30 percent.
"I still don't know who I'm going to vote for," Anja Brueckmann, a secretary who usually votes for Merkel's CDU, said in Berlin. "I keep listening to all this talk from the politicians but no matter who wins nothing changes."
Merkel, 59, would be the third postwar chancellor, after Konrad Adenauer and Helmut Kohl, to win three terms.
Hugely popular at home for her steady, cautious leadership during five years of international financial crisis, supporters have taken to greeting her with signs reading "Mutti" - Mum.
She has presided over a robust economy and booming labour market. At 6.8 percent, the German jobless rate is roughly one quarter that of Greece.
"Germany has had four good years. We have accomplished a lot together," Merkel wrote in a campaign leaflet delivered to German households on Friday.
Critics deride her as a reactive, risk-averse leader whose policies merely follow public opinion rather than shape it. Some say German economic success is largely down to reforms made a decade ago by her SPD predecessor, Gerhard Schroeder.
Merkel, who grew up in the communist east as the daughter of a Protestant pastor, narrowly beat Schroeder in 2005 and was then forced to form the first grand coalition between Germany's two major parties since the 1960s.
Re-elected in 2009, she was able to form a majority government with the FDP. But she may have to look to the SPD again after Sunday. And this time the process may be rougher.
"The (SPD) lost 13 percent of the vote during its last partnership with Chancellor Merkel and is highly concerned about the potential long-term electoral repercussions of repeating the arrangement," said Alex White of JP Morgan in London. "SPD leaders will push for the most advantageous possible deal, likely extending negotiations for a period of many weeks."
In the talks, the SPD is expected to push for a nationwide minimum wage, a tax rise on higher earners and also key cabinet posts, including possibly the finance and foreign ministries.

In The Enquirer's editorial ("Violence touches us all: A call to action," April 4) about drug-related violence in Cincinnati, the quotation from Hamilton County Coroner Dr. O'dell Owens cut straight to the chase. Dr. Owens is quoted as saying, "If you're not dealing, buying or using [illegal] drugs, you're pretty much safe in Cincinnati."
I found it interesting that, in all of the discussion reported by The Enquirer from the recent community roundtable discussion, nothing was mentioned about how a change in drug policy in this country could reduce the black-market-related violence that Dr. Owens explained so clearly.
Maybe … just maybe … if we were to change drug policy in Ohio to take much of the street profits from illicit drugs off the table, these folks that Dr. Owens referenced wouldn't shoot and kill one another nearly so much, or get caught in the crossfire.
Today black-market-related violence flares up in the U.S. from time to time, just as it did here in Cincinnati last month. During the 1920s, we saw the same thing across the U.S. when black-market criminal gangs and gang members regularly murdered one another when fighting over profits generated by the Prohibition-era booze trade.
What ended this black-market-related violence during the 1920s and early 1930s? Answer is the end of alcohol Prohibition in 1933. We need to learn from this powerful lesson of the 1930s, and find a way to do something similar today with U.S. and Ohio drug policy.

I am never satisfied about anything. I have an almost never-ending list of personal flaws and past mistakes, yet I sit atop a golden throne of judgment, from which I will point my jewel-encrusted scepter at you and tell you to iron your shirt. I will pick fights with you constantly because I mistake disagreements and fundamental differences for passion, and I consider a night in which we throw dinner plates at each other to be time well spent. I will find your most insecure points and needle at them until they are raw, bleeding stumps and you are weighing out the pros and cons of throwing me in a wood chipper. I will be infuriating, I will be insufferable, I will be incredibly frustrating—but I won't be boring.

n. necklace, pearl
See pearl necklace
See pearl necklace
I got my girlfriend a pearl necklace for Christmas this year.
dari deathtobees Jum'at, 19 Desember 2003
a pearl is when a man has a small metal ball surgically inserted under the skin of the penis at the tip
dari wild witch of sex 666 Jum'at, 15 Januari 2010
often times mistaken as a whore, yet she is a girl with a "man's mentality" and sees men and women as equals. A pearl carries her self with respect and dignity.

Robert Pattinson was recently named the new face for Dior Homme fragrance. During a successful and exclusive 3-day launch, Rob met with several journalists from the European foreign press. Maps To The Stars was mentioned and while the interviews are embargoed until this fall, Yves Bongarcon, from French publication, Sport & Style, teased his interview on twitter:
There was a problem connecting to Twitter.
The partnership between David Cronenberg and Robert Pattinson was exhilarating for Cosmopolis. The press release from Dior had this to say as well:
In the ultimate tribute to [Rob's] talent, David Cronenberg chose him to star in his latest picture, Cosmopolis, adapted from the novel by Don de Lillo. A striking role as a golden boy which premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. He has recently completed filming David Michôd's The Rover in Australia with Guy Pearce and will soon be on set for David Cronenberg's next picture, Maps to the Stars.
We can't wait to see them together again for Maps To The Stars. Filming begins July 8th in Toronto.

[A Carousel on a Slide Projector, by Lullatone]
Turns out having a baby makes it harder to keep up one's weekly music blog. Ahem. As you might imagine, we're still tending toward softer, doze-inducing musics over here, like the Songs That Spin in Circles record by Japan-based Lullatone, who claim on their website: "We are Lullatone, an art, music and good ideas group. We like making stuff." (Like… ring tones and other neat stuff.)
This song's not only sweet and sleepy and especially easy on the ears at 3am, but the title references two excellent objects. I was almost going to write 'inanimate objects' but both are rather animate.
Enjoy! Happy summer! Go eat some ice cream!
(Thanks to pal Brett for the tip.)
[Evelyn, by Goldmund]
Music that plays quietly well in the wee hours of the night/morning is muchly appreciated these days. Repetitive, simple, piano music that plays well in the middle of the night is especially golden. Keith Kenniff, aka Goldmund - I thank you for this (and others) lullabye.
Check out KK's label Unseen, chock full of similiar treasures.
[All the Pretty Horses, Calexico]
It's been a textbook-excellent weekend, and throughout it all - Calexico's version of this traditional old lullabye has been rambling through my head. It's part soothing, part haunting, and includes the best line ever: "When you wake, you shall have cake, and all the pretty little horses." There are also a few less peaceful/sleep-inducing images in there - which i kind of love too.
ATPH is also the title of one of my all-time favorite books. So many reasons to admire this song! Blacks and bays, dapples and grays… Am nominating for household theme song.
[Thorn Castles, by Gardens & Villa]
A short and catchy one this week, to herald the finally sunny weather here in Chicagoland. Something to tap yr toes to, from G&V's self-titled record out soon on Secretly Canadian. I know practically nothing about this band, except they're from CA and put a beautiful image on the cover of the record. Musically, this isn't earth-shattering, but then what if every offering was? Fragments, everywhere. Too much. No, here's simply some fine music to water the garden to. To walk home eating a delicious spinach pie to. To wait and see what happens to.
Strangely enough, I just discovered they're playing in Chicago as I type this. In another life I'd have ventured out for the show. Hey! Don't forget to buy some music every once in awhile - recordings, shows, how about a t-shirt…keeps it all going, right?
[Black, Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi]
Prolific pop producer + talented film composer + pair of star vocalists = epic new(ish) soundtracky release Rome. Feels share-worthy at the end of a blissfully UNepic weekend. A few highlights: perfect sleeping weather (windows open), milkshake lunch, long & unhurried talks, many hours on the couch with an excellent book that took me far away and back in time, experimental black bean summer salad. Spicy!
That's Norah Jones singing, by the way, as if you didn't know from the first syllable uttered. Jack White shows up a few times on the record and the recipe just…works. Plus, if you're the type that goes for Chris Milk-designed interactive online video experiences (remember that Arcade Fire doozy?) then right this way…

It's simple, and free.
In the revisionist account of history observable in the film Apocalypse Now, great affirmation of SaidĆs theory can be found.
In the film we see the West pitted against East, with little distinction among different Eastern cultures. Lumped together whether Cambodian, North Vietnamese or South Vietnamese, the filmĆs discourse primarily equates Orientals with ôCharliesö (Coppola 1979). Above all else, ôCharlieö is the enemy and the land where he resides is abominable. As Captain Willard maintains, ôI was going to the worst place in the world and I didnĆt even know it yetö (Coppola 1979). The film portrays Vietnam as a locale even worse than Hell. As Chef expresses at one point in the film, ôI used to think if I died in an evil place then my soul wouldnĆt make it to heaven. Well, fuck. I donĆt care where it goes as long as it ainĆt here,ö (Coppola 1979). Thus, we see the depiction of Vietnam as an evil, hellish place. Such depictions undermine the fact that it is the ôAmericansö who are in Vietnam trying to kill Vietnamese.
Not content to depict Vietnam as the worst place in the world, the Vietnamese are also depicted in the film as having a culture that is barbaric in comparison to Western civil

Crumbed chicken dishes are among my favourite and this one tops the list. They are simple to prepare and is a fantastic make ahead meal to pop into the fridge to bake at dinner time.

Easy Stir Fry
Stir Fry is one of my favourites. It's packed full of delicious rainbow vegetables and it's quick and easy to whip up. This is how I make it. Ingredients 500 grams of beef, chicken or pork (sliced in thin strips) - Tip for beef: I tried the regular stir fry beef you can buy but it always tastes tough. Instead, I get rump and ask the butcher (even at Coles or Woolies) to trim the fat and slice it thinly for me. Tastes … [Read more...]

10 Old Fashioned Dating Habits We Should Make Cool Again
- 1. Coming to the door to pick someone up.
- 2. Trying to dress really nicely for a date.
- 3. Bringing flowers or other tokens of affection to the first date.
- 4. Going dancing that's not grinding on a grimy club floor.
- 5. Straightforwardly asking someone out and not calling it "hanging out."
- 6. Additionally, being clear about when you're "going steady."
- 7. Romantic gestures like writing poems.
- 8. Turning electronics off and just being with one another.
- 9. The general concept of asking permission for things.
- 10. Not assuming sex is to be had at any point in time.

Crying isn't pretty. I don't care who the fuck wrote it as roses blossoming from your tired eyes, or waterfalls slowly descending from your tear ducts. Crying isn't something that makes you feel like the words of a sonnet. No, crying isn't fucking pretty. I saw the girl I love cry once and her mouth twisted into a snarl, like a dog about to bite. Snot ran down her nose, along the curve of her lip and onto the pillow of my bed. I had just washed my sheets that day. Her face scrunched up like she had just been punched in the stomach and her hands balled into little fists like she was waiting to punch them back. But she couldn't. She didn't. She just cried and I watched how her mascara started to smear down her cheeks, in long black trails that reminded me of mud dragged into the house from the bottoms of your shoes. I saw the girl I love cry so hard her shoulders shook like there was an earthquake but nobody else was under the doorframe waiting for the roof to cave in. She sobbed so hard that her breathing was ragged; a knife in between her ribcage, a blockage in her throat. She cried until she made no noise, but still her mouth moved like a fish pulled out the water and left there to hang in its oxygen hell. Her face got all red and blotchy and I could have sworn I had seen a painting that looked almost like she did, in that moment. But crying isn't pretty. No, it's not supposed to be. She told me her chest was hurting and her head was aching and she felt so real to me. With her hair scattered in all directions, and train tracks in black lines crawling down her face, she was so real and she was so beautiful and she was in so much pain but she looked at me and smiled anyways. No, crying is not pretty but I knew right then I would be so lucky to be the one to cry at our wedding.
Crying Isn't Pretty (k.p.k)
