Neil Warnock: Celtic aren't a bunch of kickers - why should they lie down for pretty passers?
What I Learnt This Week: It's funny how often you see one side had 60 per cent of the ball but lost
Neil Warnock
Neil Warnock is the former manager of Leeds United. The outspoken Independent columnist has also managed QPR, Crystal Palace and Sheffield United among others.
Friday 09 November 2012
Congratulations to Neil Lennon for masterminding a fantastic victory for Celtic over Barcelona. Watching it was the highlight of my week. I started the night flicking between them and the Chelsea and Manchester United games but I became glued to the Celtic match. Even though goal flashes kept coming in from the other games I just couldn't stop watching and when the young kid put them two up I was jumping up and down.
After the game over there, when Barcelona won in injury time, I read some critical columns about how it was good for football that Barcelona won as they were a fantastic team and Celtic had just gone out to spoil. I don't agree.
I know Barcelona have a very good youth system but they have spent plenty of money building that team, money which is way out of Celtic's reach. It is inevitable that they will have more ability in their team, but why should Celtic just lie down and let them walk through them? It is up to those quality players to work out how to beat a team. It is not as if Celtic were kicking lumps out of them.
I thought Lennon got his team selection and set-up just right. There is a weakness when Barcelona defend zonally and they picked that out for the first goal, isolating Dani Alves against Victor Wanyama at the far post. Then they defended in numbers but always maintained an attacking threat, which paid off when Xavi, of all people, made a right cock-up and Tony Watt scored.
It did make me think. There was Barcelona stringing together 70 passes and being unable to score, then Celtic launch a long kick from the goalkeeper and Watt takes two touches and scores.
Charles Hughes, the former high priest of FA coaching, who counted the number of touches before a goal and preached direct play, must have loved it. I never did understand his theories myself. Statistics can be so misleading. It is funny, though, how often at the moment you see one team had 60 per cent of the ball but still lost. Teams are increasingly prepared to let opponents pass the ball in front of them.
The atmosphere was incredible. Both Ibrox and Parkhead are fantastic grounds when full. I am disappointed there will be no Old Firm derbies for a few years as I've not been to one yet and it is on the list of things to do when I pack in, so I hope Rangers don't take too long to get back in the top flight.
I've been to our "local" club up there, Greenock Morton, a few times, but I'm told that's not quite the same as an Old Firm derby.
Local? It's the nearest club to Sharon's grandparents' place. We've even got some named bricks in the wall – me and the kids bought them one day. I didn't get Sharon one; she's never let me forget it.
I also want to see a Clasico, Real v Barça, when I stop. I'm told that's also a different sort of game to an Old Firm derby.
2. Flipping Mancini
I can't believe Roberto Mancini has got away with accosting the referee at the end of Manchester City's match with Ajax. Apparently it was not mentioned in the report of the referee or the Uefa observer so he is in the clear. I bet if it had happened in a domestic game the FA would have been on the phone making sure it was mentioned.
It just shows how the pressure gets to you, even someone who looks so in control can flip. I did have sympathy with him, though – it was a stonewall penalty and with Mario Balotelli never missing from the spot they would have picked up three vital points.
Chelsea did nick a winner – from a once unlikely source. When Victor Moses was at Palace one headed goal a season was his limit; he's now scored three for Chelsea, all with his head. Victor seems to be enjoying playing for them and he's part of what's become a wonderful Chelsea team to watch. The new signings have transformed the way they play.
3. Wilshere joy for Roy
Everyone knows how much England need Jack Wilshere so it is very handy for Roy Hodgson that he is suspended this week. Arsène Wenger has said he is unhappy Wilshere has been called up for the match in Sweden but it is not as if he is going to be overworked playing for 45 minutes in a friendly.
I'm really pleased Leon Osman has been recognised. I think in that Everton team he has been an unsung hero. It used to be Tim Cahill got all the attention, now it is Marouane Fellaini, yet I bet Osman is one of the first names on the team sheet now, just after Phil Neville.
It's unusual to get a first call-up at 31 but I didn't think Osman was that old. He seems to have been 25 for about 15 years. It certainly takes me back as I thought about taking him on loan to Sheffield United when he was a real youngster. I watched him twice in Everton reserves and loved him. He was full of energy, looked like he wanted to play anywhere, enthusiastic and could see a pass. He was so positive in his play but I thought in such a physical league as the Championship he would be gobbled up as he is so small. Then he went to Derby County and did all those things and I regretted not taking him.
Roy has also brought Raheem Sterling into the side, which will please QPR because I expect they made sure when they sold him to Liverpool they'd receive a nice bonus if he was capped. They knew he had talent but it's hard to keep kids that young and since they needed cash they were rubbing their hands at selling a 16-year-old for a tidy sum. I don't think anyone appreciated how quickly he would come on.
It is a significant game with Steven Gerrard's 100th cap. He's been a tremendous servant for club and country, but I wonder if he has any regrets about not moving to another club. Like all loyal players there must be times when he thinks "what if?" Liverpool are a fantastic club and he has been their heartbeat for what seems an eternity, but at the end of the day players want to win things and, while he has done that in Europe, the English league title has eluded him.
4. Burnley pickpockets
My comments after Leeds' defeat at Burnley appear to have had more coverage than the match. You always feel bad when beaten by a late goal but knowing we'd have won with decent finishing made it worse. I was asked, somewhat superfluously, if I was disappointed and replied: "I've not been as disappointed as this since I had my pockets picked in Vietnam"; I paused, then added, "by a 75-year-old woman". At least it brought a smile, unlike our finishing.
We've got Watford today and as well as hoping for an improvement I'm looking forward to seeing Gianfranco Zola. He was a player I'd have been prepared to pay money to watch. I thought he brought enjoyment wherever he played and gave a new dimension to football. Now he's trying to build something at Watford and preaching the type of football he liked to play. It'll be a good challenge for us today. That is one of the attractions of English football, the different styles.
5. A good result in US
As usual after a game I couldn't sleep on Tuesday. Your mind is going at 100mph. Sometimes I watch a DVD of the game but I couldn't face it so I started watching the US election coverage. I found it fascinating. I'm pleased Obama won. It became clear he would at about half-two, at which I voted too... for bed.
6. Swann's way is right
I think the England cricket management have done the right thing in allowing Graeme Swann to come home from India to be with his wife and sick baby. I've always said family comes first. His mind would have been elsewhere anyway.
I had a player once whose wife had twins and one of them was in and out of hospital for a year. You just have to give people as much time as they need.
I'm looking forward to the Test series, especially now Kevin Pietersen is back in the team and making runs. The timing is good for TV viewers. I'll be able to watch it over breakfast. I might even have a tandoori instead of cereal, to get in the mood.
7. Amy's waltzer agony
Amy went on the waltzer on firework night in Plymouth. The guy said, "Scream if you want to go faster". She were getting squashed so she was screaming in pain. "Right, we'll go faster," said the guy. She said she was so pleased when it stopped.

A newbie to a group that none of us wanted to join. I'm a retired healthcare professional, so I knew a lot about what to expect. I'm also a Triathlete who has completed an Ironman. What can I expect about getting back to training. I want my life back, and hope that this will really make a difference. Have been pretty inactive over the last year due to the fatigue and SOB, but worry that my rate has only been set at 130 and may be restrictive.. My EP MD states that I am only the second athlete he has seen with my problem, but he has been very supportive and he really does listen to me. Any thoughts out there about swimming open water or racing a bike in the aero position? A little afraid of crashing on the bike now.

About to Receive a Pacemaker
Posted by lizs101 on 2015-01-24 22:38. 2 comments. 214 reads
My diagnosis is A-Fib and flutter. I have had two ablations and several Cardioversions. I have a problem taking antiarrhythmic drugs due to the side effects. The latest one tried was Tikosyn which I started last week without severe side effects but have felt absolutely lousy since I started it. I went in Thursday for a 1 week follow-up EKG and the Doctor's office called Friday expressing concern because the pause between my heartbeats is continuing to increase in length. They do not feel the Tikosyn is working or right for me and want to do an AV Ablation and pacemaker. It is probably irrational on my part but this scares me. I have no idea what to expect and am looking for some information.
I guess I am looking for any ...

Super glue

My doc used super glue to hold my outermost incision together. I am one week out from the procedure and it is peeling off in large strips. Underneath is dry and no blood or pus or anything to suggest it is not healing quite well. Should I just let it come off as it chooses, even if it is all gone by end of week? Or should I call the EP and ask if he wants to look at it?

Restrictions to arm lifting
Posted by Suz on 2015-01-20 12:19. 8 comments. 370 reads
Hi-New member here. I'm a 43 year old female who had her first pacer implant this past Friday (1/16/15) for symptomatic bradycardia and multiple syncopal episodes. Recovery is going well so far, but I'm still unclear on how high I can raise my arm on the implant side? Can I raise my upper arm to a 90 degree angle to my body? The nurse just said, "not above your head for two weeks", but I'm seeing conflicting info on the internet. Thank you all. I am glad this forum is here!
Questions to ask my doc before surgery

Hi, it's me again. :)
The more I read the posts here, the more I think I overlook the whole thing. All I knew before was that I am to get a device and I won't be afraid of fainting when driving ever again. It seems I should have been more prepared but I'm not.
I'm going to have a pre-op consultation when my surgery date approaches, but I managed to squeeze in another appointment with my cardiologist tomorrow. Any suggestions on what questions I should ask my doctor?
I am going to ask him if he's going to secure my device with stitches. My device is going to be Medtronic. It's going to be the MRI tolerable one. My doctor knows I would like to play competitive badminton again so he mentioned something ...

Incisions, incisions.
Posted by Busdriver on 2015-01-18 23:13. 5 comments. 173 reads
I've read several posts regarding the manner in which the surgeon made the incision on his patient when implanting the pacemaker. Many people have disclosed their scar is either horizontal or vertical. My PM scar is diagonal on the left side of my chest. If I were to draw a line from my left armpit to the left side of my neck, the scar would be parallel with that. I was just wondering if it really matters which way the incision is made, or maybe it's just the surgeon's "signature" move.
How soon can I get back to work?
Posted by etmichelleh on 2015-01-16 07:27. 10 comments. 483 reads
I posted my worry and immediately I got support that warms my heart. Thank you. Thanks for everyone that read my post.
As I read more, I noticed that most people took quite some time off work. I don't think I'm pacemaker dependent as most of the time I am energetic. I plan to have it done on a Thursday, take a rest on Friday and go back to work on the next Monday. I can't afford to lose more days at work. I'm an in-house translator so I work literally at my desk all day. Why is it that a lot of people are saying they feel tired after the placement?
My second question is about exercise. I love to play badminton. Competitive one. I'm right-handed so the doctor will put it on my left chest...

One month post op
Posted by Kelly on 2015-01-15 22:34. 5 comments. 313 reads
Hello. I had my PM replaced one month ago. I took 3 & a half weeks off work & was feeling pretty good. I returned to work last week & I'm exhausted. I'm on my feet all day but I've done that for years. My job is pretty easy compared to others that I've had. I'm finding now that working a 5 or 6 hour days feels like 8 or 9. I'm coming home & taking 2-3 hour naps & sleeping 10-12 hours at night. I don't think I should be this tired at this point. Yesterday was my day off but I had to go to work for a meeting. I didn't do anything beforehand & was there for an hour & a half. I couldn't keep my eyes open when I got home & took a 3 hr nap, then slept 10 hours that night. They said my PM is working fine.

Hi, I just joined this club. I'm 48 years old. Female. Overweight. Well-controlled diabetes and hypertension. Exercise 30 minutes/2 to 3 times a week. (I know it's not enough.)
After wearing a monitor for a month, my doctor told me I need a pacemaker. I was on Metoprolol when I was first wearing the monitor. After stopping the medication for 2 weeks, my heart still showed symptoms. I was diagnosed with high grade AV block. In some of the daily report recorded by the monitor when I had my symptoms, it was written as "2nd degree AV Block Type 1" and "2nd degree AV Block Type 2". My heart stopped beating over 4 or 5 seconds several times. Mostly when I was asleep. I had blood work and echo cardio done. Everything wa...

Elective Replacement Indicator
Posted by angellexis on 2015-01-05 11:52. 1 comments. 159 reads
I'm 31 with a Medtronic 1 lead pacemaker. I drop my PWaves.
Went in today she said I have 8 months left of battery but replacement might not be in 8 months they have to wait for the Elective Replacement Indicator. Kind of annoying because she couldn't give me a time frame.
Does anyone have experience with knowing when and what the time frame is?
Burning sensation in left forearm and wrist
Posted by Kathy07 on 2015-01-04 06:02. 5 comments. 318 reads
Hi there, I'm a 34 year old female.
I had a PM inserted sub Pec 1 month ago and for the last 3 weeks I've had a burning pain when stretching out my arm or abducting it away from my body. Could it be nerve damage? Could it be inflammation in the shoulder joint?
I have since returned to crossfit starting at 50% capacity and no lifting as yet just cardio. I am concerned this wont approve. Is it to early to start Physio?
I find that picking something up off the ground sends a shooting/burning pain down my forearm to me hand. The area between my elbow and wrist is also numb.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

I have installed my PM at 06/12/2012, everything in order, except that my wound, occasionally opened, or rather the skin opens and closes. on 06/11/2014 I made another operation to set better PM. but the problem persists. I was visited to dermatologist and He gave a remedy , no result. and today my skin is 50% open, no infections or pain.
I have tried all, I never held tight clothes, I held the arm without moving for months, hang a month closed and then opened again. the skin is very thin when it seems recovered
what to do to ( sorry for my english )

BOGOTA -- Ecopetrol reported a 20% drop in its consolidated net income during the 1Q compared with a year earlier, due to lower global prices for crude oil.
Ecopetrol said its 1Q consolidated net income was $1.97 billion compared with $2.33 billion a year earlier.
The firm's consolidated EBITDA, which is an indicator of a company's cash flow, was $4 billion in the first quarter, down 15% from the year-earlier quarter.
Ecopetrol's heavily traded shares on the Colombian Stock Exchange rose 0.7% to end the session.
Ecopetrol has enjoyed a sharp increase in oil production in recent years as the military pushed a decade's old insurgency deeper into the mountains, allowing oil companies to boost their exploration efforts and invest in upgrading production in operating fields.
The guerillas, meanwhile, abandoned their efforts to control territory and turned instead to carrying out hit-and-run ambushes mostly directed against Colombia's oil industry.
A surge in oil pipeline bombings stalled oil production periodically last year and the guerrillas have continued the attacks in recent months.
The company's oil production, including its affiliates, rose to 790,800 boepd in the 1Q, up 6.4% from a year earlier.
Outside Colombia, Ecopetrol is also involved in exploration and production activities in Brazil, Peru and the United States Gulf Coast.

Do I need synthetic oil
i just spent quite a bit of time researching oil filters, and have read some forum information from Bob Is the Oil Guy. I'm thinking I'll stick with either Quaker State or Valvoline 5W-30 for the cars in question. I have a 2000 model Honda Odyssey van, and a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am my teenage son drives.
We do city driving in semi-harsh conditions due to normal traffic lights, some rush hour traffic, but nothing severe. The van sees 15,000 per year. The Grand Am sees about 8-10K per year. I've been changing the oil at 5,000 or 6,000 miles along with the oil filter in each vehicle.
I live in the Dallas area (warm climate). Do i need to change anything?
Thanks, dennis
IMO, the oil should be changed every 3 to 4 months, synthetic is necessary for high performance machines(turbos for one)..
Harsh conditions are running the engine cold without at least 3 to 4 times of warm operation..In other words, 20 minute trips rather than 5 minute hops..
Oil sludging does have its home in very cold climes...
Maybe the Dallas heat would necessitate a synthetic...
I think we change oil way to often. Waste of money and resources. These are modern engines and oil has been improved greatly over the years. There was a study done with NY taxi cabs and it found that there wasnt more engine wear in the engines that went longer between oil changes. When is the last time you heard of someones engine blowing up due to dirty oil? I go 5-6k on oil changes and never had a problem.
I run "good" quality multi grade regular oil and have gotten 200,000 miles on a high reving 4cly engine without it needing any internal repairs, it does not burn oil, well maybe a half quart in 4000 miles.
I have two new vehicles, one a 2004 Subaru and one a 2005 Chevy, both 4cly. I am using Castrol brand regular oil. I'll change at least twice a year on low mileage cars, that is a car that runs under 7000 annualy. On older cars I use 20W50 in the summer, but use 5 or 10W30 all the time in the new machines. I think the only value of this is thin oil in the summer is slightly better gasoline mileage, at I hope no loss in lubrication when the ambient is 100 degrees.
I read an article in Consumer Reports about certain vehicles being susceptible to oil sludge (various makes, models, years). They stressed the importance of changing the oil at the recommended intervals and keeping all the records, in case oil sludge resulted in costly engine repairs. The manufacturers all have different requirements for proof that the oil was changed enough, thus not due to maintenance negligence. I change my own oil and filter, so not sure if that would suffice, but my cars are all fairly old, so it doesn't matter for me, since they're way beyond any warranty periods. But for newer vehicles, it could become very important.
Actually, the test I read of New York taxicabs was one Consumer Reports did some years ago. In that test they found that the ones with the extended oil change internals (7,500 miles) needed more engine repairs than those with the short (3,000 miles) change intervals.
It's a matter of the law of diminishing returns. The carmakers set 7,500 as the "normal" change interval, figuring that in most cases, that's often enough to keep the engine in good health for a reasonable lifespan. If you change it every 3,000 instead, that's going to mean the engine's running with cleaner oil than it would have been if you changed it at 7,500. Of course, if you changed it at 1,500 miles the oil would be cleaner still. But how clean is clean enough? At some point the whole car -- body, transmission, suspension, steering, etc. -- is going to wear out. If you change the oil every week the engine might run forever, but what good would it do when the rest of the car is no good?
I think for most people 3,000 to 6,000 miles between changes is a pretty reasonable compromise. On lower mileage vehicles I'd tend toward the low end of that range, while I'd feel okay at the high end if the vehicle is driven mostly on longer trips and covers the miles more quickly. Synthetic oil is fine, but no manufacturer that I know of states that it's okay to run synthetic for longer than regular oil. Some do specify that synthetic oil should be used in certain models, however.
The Consumer Reports article on sludge that Reekola referred to was a different one from the one I mentioned about the taxicabs. The sludge article was just in the last couple months. I agree that people with newer cars, especially those apparently susceptible to this sludge problem such as some Toyota models, need to keep careful records and receipts of oil changes. In some of these cases, the manufacturers have agreed to repair the engines even after the original warranty has expired if the owner could produce records of oil changes that met the owners manual recommendations.
from the article I was talking about...........
None of the tested oils proved better than the others in our tests. There may be small differences that our tests didn't reveal, but unless you typically drive under more severe conditions than a New York cab does, you won't go wrong if you shop strictly by price or availability. Buy the viscosity grade recommended in your owner's manual, and look for the starburst emblem. Even the expensive synthetics (typically, $3 or $4 a quart) worked no better than conventional motor oils in our taxi tests, but they're worth considering for extreme driving conditions high ambient temperatures and high engine load or very cold temperatures.
On the basis of our test results, we think that the commonly recommended 3,000-mile oil-change interval is conservative. For 'normal' service, 7,500-mile intervals (or the recommendation in your owner's manual) should be fine. Change the oil at least that often to protect your engine and maintain your warranty. Even for the severe service experienced by the taxis in our tests a 6,000- mile interval was adequate. But some severe service - frequent cold starts and short trips, dusty conditions, trailer towing - may require a shorter interval. Note, too, that special engines such as diesels and turbos, which we didn't test, may need more frequent oil changes.
We don't recommend stretching the change interval beyond the automaker's recommendations, no matter what oil you use. Engine combustion contaminants could eventually build up and harm engine parts.
As for STP Oil Treatment, STP Engine Treatment, and Slick 50 Engine Treatment, our advice is simple: If you use an oil with the starburst symbol, you don't need them.
Here is a link that might be useful: cab study
All, thanks for the information about the oil. based on my cars, where i live, etc. i'm sticking with conventional oil and changing every 5-6K miles.
oh, about the synthetic gas, my wife says i make plenty of that already. Lots of bran does wonders to cut cholestrol and increases global warming levels at the same time!
take care, dennis
True severe or harsh service is when the car is run without ever reaching operating temperatures for a good period of time.Another example is baking the oil due to excessive heat (high performance, racing, towing a trailer - all without a good oil cooler..
Then the condensation stays in the engine, the next thing that results is sludge - over a period of time - particularly during the very cold months.
And the change intervals of 7.5 to 10.0K miles are ridiculous for most car owners, with all their "short hops".....
The engine designer should write the service criteria , not the marketers...

Put 30" in cooktop in now and upgrade later to 36"?
I currently have a 30" electric cooktop. My new kitchen is designed with a 36" cabinet for the cooktop and room for a 36" hood above. My current cooktop is perfectly fine although I can imagine a 36" would be nice in the future since we have a larger family. Also, my current cooktop is on an island so I have more room to maneuver the pots/pans since there's nothing blocking any of the sides as opposed to now having it against a back wall. So my options are
1. Install old cooktop, let the bank account recover from kitchen remodel, buy/install new 36" range (could upgrade to induction then) at some point in the future. This would require having someone recut the granite to make more room at the later date. Ideas on how much that might cost?
2. Go ahead and upgrade to a 36" electric cooktop now. I probably wouldn't get an induction then since I'm already spending so much money. Just a normal glass top cooktop like I already have, middle of the road.
I guess the big question is, does it cost a lot to have someone come and recut the granite at a later date if I wanted to upgrade to the larger cooktop later?
if you think you wil be moving to a 36" i would do it now. sell your present cooktop on craigslist to recover some of the costs and apply it to the new one. also look for new one on sale on line or at scratch and dent sale to make it more affordable. perhaps by doing this you might still be able to get induction.
cutting stone is a tricky business. i would not risk re-cutting granite on site later and potential risks that introduces to what i am sure will be beautiful counters. the first fabricator did a major error on my marble which required the entire job to be pulled and re-done by a different fabricator. things can happen, don't take the chance!
If you want a 36" later, you need to put in a 42" hood now. As far as cutting the granite goes, you're talking a couple of hundred dollars and a ton of abrasive dust that gets everywhere despite you trying to contain it. There may also be different electrical wiring requirements for induction as it uses more power. I'd want at least a 50 amp circuit there now, as doing that later costs more than when you have everything open.
In terms of needing a 42" hood for a 36" cooktop. I will be getting an undercabinet hood (not an insert) and the only real high heat type thing I seem to cook is bacon. Do I still need a 42" hood?
I guess if so then having the 36 hood with the 30 cooktop will be what I'm stuck with.
Ok, talked with the cabinet guy today and actually the layout of the cooktop wall is better with a 30 inch cooktop so I'm going to stick with what I have. To the right of the cooktop is a door to the dining room (about 16 inches away) and if I had the 36 inch cooktop the countertop would go right to the door casing and also cramp the walk way. I do currently have wall ovens in that area so I could upgrade to an induction cooktop in the future because the electrical is already there.

Safe preparation of burgers at home
Last updated:
17 March 2015
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is reminding people to take care when preparing and cooking burgers at home. This reminder is being issued as part of the FSA's ongoing work looking at managing safety controls around higher risk foods like rare burgers.
Steve Wearne, Director of Food Policy, at the FSA, said: 'The most important thing to remember is to cook your burgers so they are steaming hot all the way through, that none of it is pink and that any juices run clear. The reason we advise people to do this is because when burgers are produced any harmful bacteria that may have been on the surface of the raw meat when it is minced will be spread throughout the burger.
'The situation with steak and other whole cuts of beef and lamb is different. These cuts can be served rare because they are only ever contaminated by bacteria on the outside of the meat, which are destroyed during cooking even if the middle of the meat is pink, or rare.
Be Careful everyone, especially now the BBQ season is upon us !!

Hi everyone, I am unhappy with my weight so I was really interested in joining a slimming world class but because of my two jobs I could only attend a class over the weekend and in my area they don't have any weekend classes on, because of this I have decided to do this alone. I have never been to a slimming world class so I don't know anything about the diets they offer, sins, free food, super foods so if anyone can help me in any way I would be truly grateful

Does anybody know if there are any groups or get-togethers in order to provide support for teenage mums on the Isle of Anglesey?
I was a teen mum myself and I'm very keen on offering to volunteer if there are any programs/centres/schools that are all about helping teen parents?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering how parents felt about plans by some Welsh councils to charge for Breakfast club?
Ynys Môn council seems to be backtracking after saying a few weeks ago that schools can start charging for going to breakfast club.
What happens at your school?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers gave their fans a taste of the 'Showtime' basketball promised by their new coach Mike D'Antoni with a rousing 114-102 home win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
Though D'Antoni was not courtside to take charge of his first game as he recovers from knee replacement surgery earlier this month, his players thrived with the up-tempo approach as they posted their highest score of the season.
Five-time NBA champion Bryant scored a game-high 31 points, center Dwight Howard contributed 18 points and 12 rebounds and Spanish forward Pau Gasol also recorded a double-double, with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Metta World Peace poured in five-of-10 three pointers to finish with 22 points and Jordan Hill, off the bench, also reached double figures with 10.
Guard Goran Dragic led the way for the Suns with 22 points and forward Luis Scola weighed in with 18 but the visitors paid the price after being out-rebounded 48-38.
"We're just getting started, but it will make a lot of things easier," Bryant told reporters of the strategy already instilled in the team by D'Antoni after his first practice session with them the previous day.
"The whole offense has to find their position. He (D'Antoni) knows how to direct his offense and he's been directing it for a long time. The main thing is it's very simple."
The Lakers dominated free throws, making 22-of-28 compared to just seven-of 15-by the Suns.
"We made shots tonight," six-time All-Star Howard said. "Metta was on fire, Kobe hit some tough shots and we got to the free-throw line a lot. When we do that, we win."
D'Antoni, appointed as Lakers coach on Monday after his predecessor Mike Brown was fired three days earlier, watched Friday's action approvingly from the team locker room.
Los Angeles are next in action on Sunday when they host the Houston Rockets and D'Antoni, who has already urged his players to score 110-plus points per game, is expected to take charge for the first time courtside.
In front of a sellout crowd at the Staples Center, the Lakers made an encouraging start and a World Peace three-pointer on the buzzer gave them a 35-30 lead after a high-energy opening quarter.
The Lakers briefly moved 10 points clear midway through the second quarter after Antawn Jamison poured in a three-pointer but the Suns surged back to tie it at 50-50 before Los Angeles again pulled away to lead 62-57 at half-time.
Both teams continued to score freely and the Suns again drew level at 82-82 after a Dragic three-pointer, but Bryant ended the third quarter with six unanswered points to put the Lakers ahead 92-84.
There was no way back for the Suns after that as Los Angeles maintained control to complete their third win in their last four games and improve their record this season to 4-5.
"The second half, down the stretch in the fourth quarter, our defense was really, really good," interim Lakers coach Bernie Bickerstaff said after likely completing his short stint in charge with a 3-1 record.
"Our ball movement was good and we started to control the boards."
The Suns, who struggled defensively at home while losing 112-106 in overtime to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, slipped to 4-6.
"We play hard but we've got to be much better in our execution," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. "The effort is there but we are still trying to find each other, still trying to figure our rotations.
"You can't give up 26 points on 15 turnovers. That means they are live turnovers and are easy transition buckets most of the time. We put ourselves in a position and then we just kind of let it slip away." (Reporting by Mark Lamport-Stokes in Los Angeles; Editing by John O'Brien)

Clean room, quiet area, beautiful gardens
The price was cheap! It was easy to find.
It was run down and needed repairs. Cracked floor and wall tiles in the bathroom. The refrigerator, air conditioner and lamp were all unplugged, probably because the last guest needed the outlet to charge their cell phone or laptop and there wasn't any.
No room service, torn curtains, and TV didn't work.
Ralph and Mary are prototypical B&B proprietors: kind, attentive, elderly folks who ensured we had a fantastic experience. The room was clean and gorgeous, with modern amenities (spa,wifi,premium cable) without losing its rustic charm.
Walls were a tad thin... we could hear conversations and television noise from the room next to ours. this can be avoided based on your room choice.
The breakfast they served were DELICIOUS and beautifully-presented! I had a very relaxing and romantic night with my partner and we really needed it. Jacuzzi was definitely bonus! Especially with endless hot water! :)
I wish it wasn't so expensive, otherwise I would spend every weekend there! ;)
location, food, staff
noise carries from room to room.
Everything was top shelf. Clean, spacious. Modern decor. Great courtyard/ballroom atea
Minor detail: elevator was quite small
When we arrived there was no staff on site other than two construction workers that were gutting rooms at this location. Rooms were ice cold, dirty, no shower head, and lights were out. And they still charged us full price. Completely ridiculous.
very comfortable beds,,, fairly quiet
most lamps didn't work,, key didn't work in door, was resolved easily,,, more expensive than original quote,,,
Friendly staff, very clean rooms, and clean lobby.
I could hear the inhabitants of the troom adjacent to mine. I could hear them snore, and talk loudly at 1 am.
The continental breakfast which included waffle makers was adequate. The covered parking area was beneficial.
It's in an ideal location. Staff was friendly enough.
It's old and desperately needs remodeled. My room adjoined two others and wasn't particularly soundproof. It didn't feel private or particularly safe.The couple next door made a lot of noise which was obnoxious. The room was drafty and cold.
Close to downtown
Condition of room for the price paid.
Quick attention to faulty door latch.
Friendliness of staff was excellent.
The breakfast buffet is a great touch.
The hotel was "old painted over" . Otherwise we had
a nice stay.
Clean room but strange odor
The staff was stressed and unprepared for a large crowd of customers. The so called free breakfast was terrible - half frozen biscuits, unreplinished food items with over one hour still left at breakfast time, no one making an effort to check foods.
The free cookies.
The room needed to be updated. It did not meet expectations.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Looks like Ghost Pepper
Something very strange. I know in December I germinated 6 ghost
pepper seeds, only 6. The rest of the seeds I gave away. All my
other peppers I started in March. I have some of my peppers in
earthboxes. A couple days ago I was staking some of the peppers
in one earthbox, and I noticed these peppers that look almost exactly
like the Ghost Peppers. The only difference I can see is at the stem
end. It looks a little ribbed. Are there any other super hots that look
very similar to Bhut's? Also, this plant grew super fast in this earthbox
I did a lot of trades, maybe there was a mix up, but I do know one
thing for sure, this plant was started in March.
This is the mystery pepper in earthbox
Here is one of my 6 Bhut's.
From these pictures, those peppers will be grown and ripe in a few more weeks. So you will know for sure then if it is a perfect match to what type you planted. In my opinion those wrinkled green peppers definitely either Bhuts or Nagas of one variety or another. If you only planted Bhuts, then you must have spilled some, and heres your reward! It is definitely a 'super hot' pepper. It isnt a Bell pepper:)!

It's often just a setting in the D3Prefs.txt file that's beyond what your display device can handle, such as if you were using an HDTV as a monitor sometimes.
Try deleting the prefs file first, then starting the game again. It will use default values that should allow the game to come up the next time it's run.
The file is located in your My Documents\Diablo III folder.

By all means try the Blue advice, but it is possible you did the same thing I had to do. Run it in windowed mode! To set that from outside the game
a. Navigate to My Documents>Diablo III > D3Prefs.txt
b. Edit DisplayModeWindowMode "0" to say DisplayModeWindowMode "1"
c. SAVE
d. Restart Game

GW's Andy Aledort shows you how to solo like Tony Iommi, Angus Young and Jimmy Page.
Stop screwing around! Learn to sweep in the style of Yngwie, Vai, Tosin and more.
Andy Aledort breaks down the classic Ozzy song featuring the guitar wizardry of Randy Rhoads.
In Deep with Andy Aledort: Slidedog — the Slide Guitar Mastery of Duane Allman
Sooner or later, guitarists in every genre of music begin to wonder about the modes: what they are, how best to learn them and how to use them effectively when improvising. In this edition of In Deep, we'll take a look at the theoretical basis for the modes and cover a few useful ways to apply a modal approach to soloing over commonly used chord vamps.
Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder recently released his first solo album in nearly three decades, Road to Forever.
While learning to play George Benson's licks can be a great way to dig into his sound and bring some of his lines into your solos, it can be much more beneficial to dissect his licks to see what concepts he was using to build these great-sound lines.
Recently, legendary guitarist Don Felder stopped by Guitar World HQ to show off some licks from his new solo album, Road to Forever, as well as demonstrate some classic Eagles riffs.
Gotenborg, Sweden's Sister Sin are revving up for the release of their latest album, Now and Forever, which hits shelves (and their digital equivalent) tomorrow, October 23 in North America.
While there are many different voicings you can use to comp or solo over this common progression, with many offering important chord colors that should be explored in your practice routine, sometimes the easiest way to navigate this progression is to stick to one voicing and use it for multiple chords in a minor ii V i.
In part 1, we learned how to count and play basic rhythms in 4/4 time and subdivide beats into eighth notes by counting "one and, two and, three and, four and, one and, two and, three and, four and," etc.
Every musician should have a clear understanding of the fundamentals of rhythm. Even if you consider yourself an "ear player," knowing how to count and play different rhythms while keeping a steady beat is a valuable skill that will help you in a variety of real-life musical situations. By learning the arithmetic of rhythm on paper, you'll be able to accurately read and learn music from transcriptions, and you will no longer have to rely entirely on the recording for the timing and phrasing of the notes.
One of my favorite things about heavy metal music is the brutal rhythm guitar parts that have been devised by the genre's greatest bands, such as Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and mothers. In this month's column, I'd like to show you some of the effective techniques for developing cool-sounding and very metal rhythm guitar parts.
In today's lesson, we'll be looking at how you can use two common arpeggios, 7th and m7th shapes, in combination to outline the 7#9 sound in your jazz guitar lines and solos, allowing you to dig into this fun and interesting chord without worrying about learning any new scales or modes before you can nail this chord in your solos.

When most people think of river cruising, they picture Europe. But the fact remains that river cruises are offered in some of the most diverse locations in the world, and California-based AmaWaterways (amawaterways.com) has long been a supporter of one of the most exotic ones: a voyage along the Mekong from Cambodia to Vietnam.
In September, I travelled to Siem Reap, Cambodia to board the line's elegant, 2011-built AmaLotus, which sails the Mekong year-round on week-long itineraries from Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This can be booked as a seven-day cruise-only journey, or as part of a more comprehensive cruise tour package beginning in Hanoi and lasting 16 days.
My first mistake was not taking the overland tour, because once I had arrived in Siem Reap and saw how beautiful it was (the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat are just minutes away), I knew a week would never be enough.
Despite being in a more remote part of the world, service and food aboard the AmaLotus were as good as anything I have experienced on AmaWaterways' European journeys - and that is to the company's credit, because it's not an easy thing to achieve in this part of the world.
The Cambodian and Vietnamese crew are exceedingly friendly, and eager to share their respective countries with you.
The quality of food on board is particularly good, offering a mix of North American and locally inspired cuisine. I have an allergy to nuts, which makes travelling throughout many parts of Asia a challenge. On board the AmaLotus, though, I never had to worry - dishes prepared with nuts or peanut products were identified to me so I could stay clear of them.
More impressive, I could enjoy most of the local cuisines offered at the "Action Station" located in the dining room, where the specialty on offer changed daily.
The shore excursions - all of which are included in your cruise fare - are designed as much to educate as to entertain. In just a single week, I was whisked through town on an ox cart, driven by rickshaw, blessed in a Buddhist monastery in Oudong and taken on numerous journeys to local markets, floating villages, and strolls through small towns like Kampong Tralach, where tourists seldom go.
In Phnom Penh, we witnessed first-hand the horrors of Pol Pot's murderous Khmer Rouge regime, visiting both the Killing Fields and the horrifying abandoned hulk of the Tuol Sleng S-21 Detention Center.
In the end, my week aboard the AmaLotus wasn't just a vacation - it was an education, one that has forever changed how I view the world. I can't recommend the river cruise highly enough.

iPad Mini can take plenty of abuse, but they get scratched up pretty quickly, which is one of the reasons why cases are necessary. My protective case is Thinnest iPad Mini Premium Leather Cover Case on http://www.ipadmates.com/en/22-thinnest-ipad-mini-premium-leather-cover-case.html when I inevitably upgrade and resell it, I get maximum value
