David takes a shot at Cafe Wha?
As promised, Van Halen (Eddie, Alex, Wolfie & David Lee Roth, but not Michael Anthony) played a super intimate show at Cafe Wha? in the West Village last night (1/5).
David said the last time he played a stage that low he had to get the car back before midnight. He said he was more nervous playing Cafe Wha?, where he can't hide, than any stadium ("no fake vocals at this show" he noted...). Part of that nervousness came from the fact that it was more than just a small, old, legendary venue where they chose to play a press-only show. It's also the club that David's uncle Manny Roth used to own, and Manny, now 92 years old, was in attendance. David mentioned he was 7 years old the first time he was there, but never got to play on that stage - "it was harder getting this gig than getting into the rock n' roll Hall of Fame," the rock star-turned EMT-turned rock star joked during one of his many monologues during the hour+ show. He talked about living on the LES, wanting to meet Lady Gaga, being an EMT in NYC, playing clubs in Southern California, and various other topics in between playing the hits (and one new song). Full setlist and some videos below.
"It's like climbing into a rocket in here," David Lee Roth said as he stepped onto the matchbox-sized stage at New York's 250-capacity Cafe Wha? for Van Halen's first concert in four years. "It's a rocket that comes from way back into the past into what the future's going to look like. Welcome to Occupy Van Halen, ladies and gentlemen!"And there were smiles and hugs all around, as the band seemed to be getting along just fine...With those words Eddie Van Halen kicked into the opening notes of "You Really Got Me" and the crowd -composed almost entirely of journalists and music industry insiders - went absolutely bonkers. Over the next hour, the group played a stunningly tight set of songs from their 1978 debut LP all the way through David Lee Roth's swan song, 1984. It was a show guaranteed to make any crowd go into a collective state of hysteria, but the happiest man in the house could have been Roth himself. Dressed in beige overalls and a Brian Johnson-style newsboy hat, the singer had an ear-to-ear grin on his face all night..
And it's a good thing they're getting along because they've just announced a pretty big tour that includes two NYC shows at Madison Square Garden. All of those dates and more information, also below...

A Different Kind Of Truth is Van Halen's first original studio album with singer David Lee Roth since the band's classic multi-platinum album 1984.Fans can expect Van Halen to perform selections from A Different Kind Of Truth alongside songs from their arsenal of epic hits that include: "Eruption," "Running with the Devil," "Jamie's Cryin'," "You Really Got Me," "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," "Everybody Wants Some," "Unchained," "And The Cradle Will Rock," "Beautiful Girls," "Mean Street," "Somebody Get Me A Doctor," "Jump," "Panama," "Hot For Teacher," "I'll Wait," and more from their classic albums Van Halen, Van Halen II, Women and Children First, Fair Warning, Diver Down and 1984.
Van Halen - who the Los Angeles Times recently called "a force of nature" and "one of the flat-out greatest rock bands on the planet" - was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in March of 2007.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1974, Van Halen changed the rock and roll landscape forever with the release of their self-titled, 1978 debut album displaying unparalleled stage presence, revolutionary musicianship, and extraordinary songwriting abilities. With more than 75 million albums sold worldwide, the band's record of achievement is hard to top. Among a long list of awards, recognition and accolades, Van Halen joins an elite short list of two time Diamond Award honorees in the history of the music industry. Presented with two Diamond Award RIAA Certified Status' for their albums Van Halen and 1984, the band has produced a repertoire of hits that remain some of the strongest and most influential rock songs ever written that fans will admire for decades to come.

how completely obnoxious to do a small club show like this as only a PR move and not at the very least admit some fans, or hold a contest to get some fans in.
and before you claim that I'm bitter that I couldn't get in, I'm not even a fan and couldn't care less about being there. I just think it's a shit move on their part and not very fan friendly.

12:26 The capacity is 250. There is no way they would have been able to admit fans. Cafe Wha was chosen because of the historical significance it has to VH (his uncle owned it).
Not every band is as cool as Radiohead, underplaying whenever they come to NY, shutting out tens of thousands of potential people who wanted to see them but couldn't get in....

Capacity of 250, band could've held a contest and let, say, 20 fans in. I'm sure a few dick-sucking industry insiders could deal with not going to yet another exclusive private show.

Eddie won't let Michael Anthony in b/c he associated with Sammy after dumb junkie Eddie declared Mr. Hagar persona non grata. Though he probably mumbled something like "prrsonnagrrr", so you can't really blame Michael.

Cafe Wha? was all ages in the 60s. Saw Jimmy (Hendrix) James and the Blue Flames there in 66.

I saw VH twice on the last tour; once on th first leg, and again towards the end of the second leg.
The first show was amazing; probably one of the best shows I've been to by anyone ever (and I've been going to shows for 20 years). Both Eddie and Dave were running and jumping all over the stage, high enthusiasm, smiles all over. Tight as ever. The second time, not so much. Stark contrast.

Van Halen would not play with YLT because they are only familiar with cookie cutter mainstream rock. and I can guarantee they never even heard of YLT.
Posted by Anonymous | January 6, 2012 2:52 PM
2:52 I disagree. DLR actually has pretty eclectic taste in music (surprisingly), but he doesn't mix it into his own material.
BTW, I love the attitude some people have towards music; that if there isn't irony or depth in the lyrics, or the music isn't something never heard before, that it's not good. Sometimes, rock is just supposed to rock. Period. I doubt Chuck Berry or Little Richard gave a crap about lyrical or musical depth; they just wanted to make people dance. Same goes for the Ramones, AC/DC, etc.
Posted by Anonymous | January 6, 2012 3:18 PM
VH wouldn't play with YLT, because you're talking about apples and oranges. VH will rock your face off. YLT will not rock you. They'll be enjoyable live, but they will not rock. Two different things.
Posted by Anonymous | January 6, 2012 3:25 PM
i only saw them on the second leg of their last tour and although i loved it b/c it was my first vh show, i did feel it was somewhat lackluster, similar to the police reunion at msg a few years back. i wanted it to be so amazing and in a nostalgic way, it was. couldn't help but feel a little jipped, though.
Posted by Anonymous | January 6, 2012 3:28 PM
3:28 - I saw the Police at that Live Earth benefit show at Giants Stadium. They could not look more bored. They were doing 10 minute versions of songs that should be no more than 2.5 minutes. It is not necessary to have a jam break in the middle of Roxanne, while Sting yelps out "OY, YO YO YO" ten zillion times. It was also not necessary to have Kanye add a rap to Message in a Bottle. Fail.

"EVH is not that good."
EVH is a great guitarist. Yes, he wanks, ALOT, but the man has chops. His use of harmonics is great, something new guitar players rarely use.
The outro solo to Dreams is still one of my faves. Good combination of melody and wank.

I'm an indie rock fan, but I get get really fucking embarrassed by indie twerps who think that there's anything musically superior about it. I can't say that I blame the overwhelming mass of humanity for not liking YLT if they've even heard of them. They're an acquired taste, and nothing more.
Posted by Anonymous | January 6, 2012 9:41 PM
Oh, gosh, just hearing Van Halen live again makes me happy. It makes a lot of people happy. I may be a miserable bastard most of the time, but I love that Van Halen is doing this again.

Press-only gigs are usually filled with bored and jaded media folks who have seen it all and are only there because they're paid to be there.
Say what you want about Van Halen or this gig, but if you watch any of the Youtube videos, the enthusiasm from the press-filled audience was overwhelming. I say that with no irony whatsoever. Everyone was loving the show.
Posted by Anonymous | January 7, 2012 5:53 AM

Listening to VH again, really reminds you of how shitty the newer bands are. Radiohead couldn't hold a candle to VH.

"Van Halen never had to happen". LOL tell that to the millions of people worldwide who have bought their music, attended their shows, and were inspired by Eddie's guitar playing. Tell that to the magazine editors of Guitar World and other magazines targeted towards musicians, who probably sell a lot more magazines when they post articles about the band or post their music in tablature. Tell that to the guitar players who probably would have never picked up a guitar, if it weren't for Eddie.

Barack Obama is the worst President in history. Van Halen is great.
Posted by Anonymous | January 8, 2012 10:36 AM
Obama hasn't delivered, but to say that he's the "worst President in history" is a little extreme, considering that in the last 50 years alone we had two other presidents who sucked much more.
First we had Carter who was much more ineffective than Obama, and then we had Bush, who got us until two unsustainably expensive wars and lowered taxes at the same time (how exactly did he expect to pay for those wars?) and then oversaw the subprime mortgage crisis. Just sayin'. Not necessarily a fan of Obama and I probably won't be voting for him, but let's be real.
Posted by Anonymous | January 8, 2012 1:32 PM
To add to the above, before you say something about government not needing to raise our taxes, I just want to mention that FDR raised our taxes during WW2, and put people to work, which got us out of the depression. Up until Bush, we have never lowered taxes during a war, when gov't spending is needed to pay for military.
Posted by Anonymous | January 8, 2012 1:38 PM
LOL FDR got us out of the Depression. Go back to CUNY, sport - at this point that lie has been dispelled about 1000 times over.

This isn't "liberal nonsense". This is common sense.
All I am saying are 2 things:
1) Carter and Bush sucked more than Obama
2) Starting 2 wars and finding no way to pay for them, and dumping the bill on the next guy is one of several things that made Bush a horrible president.

But one thing I have to admire about Republicans/Conservatives, is that they will never admit fault. Ever. They will never admit that one of their own screwed up. They will pretend like it never happened. Those 2 money pit wars we got ourselves into never happened. And if they did, money was never a problem. The wars paid for themselves!

6:40 have you looked in the mirror lately? Your projection is adorable. As a matter of fact, the trump card of the Liberal commie fascist like yourself to change the subject and build yourself a nice straw man, like you continue to perpetrate here. The topic is Barack Obama and his piloting of America into the abyss. Last I checked, Bush ain't been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for going 3 years. You blithering liberal fools really need to start taking some responsibility and stop projecting your failure, your racism, your need to control and manipulate (among a dozen other things) onto others with whom you disagree. It really is so transparent.

Just heard the new Van Halen song, and I have to agree with 12:52. VH3 is a great record that will someday be acknowledged for its greatness, and it will totally blow the new VH album away.

Technical Data |
Bcl-2 (B Cell Leukemia 2) |
Description: Bcl-2 is a member of a family of proteins that regulates outer mitochondrial membrane permeability (1, 2). Bcl-2 is an anti-apoptotic member that prevents release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria intermembrane space into the cytosol. Bcl-2 is present on the outer mitochondrial membrane and is also found on other membranes in some cell types. Natural Bcl-2 contains a carboxyl-terminal mitochondria targeting sequence. Recombinant Bcl-2, missing the mitochondrial targeting sequence, maintains its ability to neutralize pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members. Neutralization by Bcl-2 appears to be through binding the BH3 region of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members. This activity does not require the mitochondrial targeting sequence. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 0.1ug/ml Immunohistochemistry: 8-25ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. |

Visto en The Corner:
High school seniors Terrence Stephens and Jason Ankrah, star football players at Quince Orchard High School in Gaithersburg, Md., were sitting on a plane returning from a recruitment session at the University of Nebraska when they struck up a conversation with the man sitting next to them.
Their seat-mate just happened to be a major Cornhuskers fan.
When they started chatting, Stephens and Ankrah didn't have a clue they were holding court with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
"I was amazed this guy knew so much about us as football players and as people," said Stephens. "That was shocking. I felt honored to be known by someone of his caliber. He was just a regular old guy, sitting in coach, which really shocked me."
By the time the plane landed, the students had figured out who Thomas was, and they promptly told their principal they wanted to invite Thomas to give the keynote speech at their high school graduation. Of course, Principal Carole Working didn't exactly think Thomas would take them up on it. But he showed up at the high school on Monday.

NI Technology Updates Outlooks for STEC, Corning, Solarfun Power Holdings, Canadian Solar and Trina Solar
PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ — Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for STEC (Nasdaq: STEC), Corning (NYSE: GLW), Solarfun Power Holdings (Nasdaq: SOLF), Canadian Solar (Nasdaq: CSIQ) and Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL).
Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in identifying winners and losers during this challenging and historic period for the markets. After logging a very successful 2009, McWilliams is now intently focused on the catalysts that will generate profits in 2010.
Most recently, McWilliams identified the timing of the market's latest dip and rebound for Next Inning readers in his quarterly Strategy Review. McWilliams has also just published a special report in the emerging and volatile solar energy sector that identifies the key drivers for the industry as well as likely winners and losers. These reports, as well as McWilliams' regular commentary, are available for free to trial subscribers.
In addition, a Next Inning trial subscription also offers access to the "10 Tech Trends for 2010″ special report, in which McWilliams lays out this year's key tech sector stories from cloud computing to virtualization to data centers and solid state drives, and McWilliams' highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that offer in-depth sector by sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and McWilliams' specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided. Finally, subscribers will have access to McWilliams daily commentary and actionable alerts that have been providing frequent profit opportunities for Next Inning subscribers for years. To take advantage of this offer and receive these reports for free, please visit the following link:
McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:
– McWilliams' last cycle trade of STEC was nearly perfect. He advised readers to buy in December when the price dipped to $12.00 and sell a month later at $19.50. With the price of STEC now back in the mid-$13s does McWilliams think investors should consider buying STEC ahead of today's earnings report or wait for the company's results before deciding? What does McWilliams expect from the STEC report after the bell today?
– How much benefit is Corning likely to see from demand for glass for use in the solar energy industry? Does McWilliams believe that Wall Street's estimates for Corning's 2010 earnings are too low? Is Corning undervalued right now? What is McWilliams' fair value price for the stock and how much upside does it represent for Corning investors who own the stock today?
– What are the key drivers for solar material and solar panel producers like Solarfun, Canadian Solar and Trina Solar? What is behind the volatility of stocks in the sector and what is the best way to take advantage of it?
– As McWilliams outlined in his special report covering solar related stocks, the points of competition between the players aren't always clear. Which segments of the solar industry do Solarfun, Canadian Solar and Trina Solar participate in and what are their points of competition? How do these firms compare to their competitors in terms of projected revenue and growth?
Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 245% since its inception versus 22% for the S&P 500.

Disabled Artist GalleriesThe Galleries provide disabled artists the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work in our healthcare facilities.
The Studio Patients, caregivers, and the disabled community are invited to experience the joy of art making in the Studio which is located at The Rehabilitation Hospital. Some work together in a group while others prefer to do individual art work. All share an interest and curiosity about the arts as a healing influence. These sessions are inspiring and stress reducing with no training in art necessary to participate.
Arts in Residence Artists in residence offer expressive are experiences with drawings, painting and clay sculptures as they venture onto the patient's floors and into the waiting rooms, introducing a variety of projects and providing a means of self expression during treatment and recovery periods. Patients may watch, tell artists what they want them to do, or make art alongside the artist.
Storytelling and Poetry From time to time, our waiting areas at The Children's Hospital become a place to tell stories. Pictures, puppetry, songs, and drama may enrich stories told by a patient, visitor or artist. A story may become interactive and be told together by those within the group.
MusicMusic is a major focus of the Arts In Healthcare Program. Our musician arts-in-residence provide music using the voice and various instruments in clinic waiting areas, lobbies, on patient floors, and at the bedside of patients. The sounds of live music alter the hospital atmosphere.
Performance Series Talented and often well-known musicians, singers, actors, dancers, and clowns, bring their art to the lobby and other public areas of the Hospitals.
Art on the Walls Art displayed throughout the hospital transform them into a place of beauty that can help relax patients and staff, and humanize the environment.

The Blood Company
Humans- typical humans, they get bonuses to diplomacy and skill mastery. Humans have expanded and warred with every other race, so humans aren't very well liked. Fortunately, the Empire is powerful and it's insistence on commerce is the glue that holds the civilized humanoid races together.
Elves- typical elves, they get a stealth bonus and can use nearly any skill reflecting their great age and experience. Unlike most fantasy elves, these elves grow facial hair. They are divided into subraces based on geography and history. The Britons (High Elves)are the rulers of the British Isles. After centuries of Roman Occupation, they are the closest culturally to humans. Other elves despise them as weaklings, but they are the strongest, most unified elven kingdom. North of Hadrian's Wall, the Picts (Wild elves) are the most xenophobic refusing ing contact with even other elves, who they believe have lost the ancient ways. They persist in using primitive Bronze Age tools and technology, but also have strong nature magic. The Barbarian Tribes (Wood Elves) are scattered in small tribes throughout Gaul and Germania. They retain many of the customs of their heritage, but have accepted some modern, human influenced ideas. Their greatest weakness is disunity; under a strong central leader, the Tribes could challenge Roman domination.
Dwarves- typical dwarves, they are exceptionally stable and hardy. Dwarves inhabit every mountain chain in the world, but most are concentrated in the Urals, Alps and Himalayas. Their underground lairs have never been conquered by Rome, but they need access to fertile lands to feed their people. Thus they have the best trade relations with Rome; exchanging mineral wealth for food.
Satyr- the satyr are from Germania. They form loose tribes and fight and raid into Gaul.
Leonin – these appear to be a hybrid of lions (or other felines) and humans. They are a traditional, deeply religious and warlike people. They are from the grasslands south of the Sahara, but have spread and colonized areas on the north coast of Africa.
Orcs- far to the north in the frozen lands across the sea are the orcs. Nothing is known of their culture other than raiding and warfare. Maybe there is nothing more to it. Their ferocity could conquer the world if they ever had the unity and leadership to work together. Luckily for the other races, they do not.
Giants- at the peaks of the mountains live the giant races. Although invasions have occurred in antiquity, the giants have not left their peaks in centuries. Only the dwarves have regular contact and that is usually violent. Occasionally, dwarves will sell giant prisoners as slaves, so they may be found is small numbers in the Empire.
"the hordes"- the dwarves tell stories about hordes of humanoid demons that live to the east of their mountains. Since they don't let outsiders pass through their fortresses, there is no confirmation of these stories.

Peter Maxwell John "Sterlo" Sterling OAM (born 16 June 1960 in Toowoomba, Queensland) is an Australian rugby league commentator and former player. He was one of the all-time great halfbacks and a major contributor to Parramatta Eels' dominance of the New South Wales Rugby League premiership in the 1980s. Sterling played eighteen Tests for the Australian national team between 1982 and 1988. He also played in thirteen State of Origins for New South Wales, winning man of the match on four occasions. He played in four premiership-winning sides with Parramatta in 1981–1983 and 1986 and has been inducted into the Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame. His time spent playing for English club Hull F.C. also earned him membership in their hall of fame.
Early life[edit]
Sterling was born in Toowoomba and raised in Raymond Terrace & Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. He commenced his playing career at the age of fourteen when he joined the Wagga Wagga Kangaroo Panthers in 1974.[1] As a teenager he spent several years living at RAAF Base Wagga, where his father was serving as a dental technician. Sterling then moved to Sydney where he attended the Patrician Brothers' College on a scholarship.
Playing career[edit]
Sterling compensated for a lack of size and pace with control and organisational skills that allowed Parramatta's all-star back line of Brett Kenny, Mick Cronin, Steve Ella and Eric Grothe a great deal of ball. His kicking, backed up by Kenny and Ray Price's superb chasing, often gave Parramatta an advantage in territory. His fast mind meant that he rarely made a wrong decision.[citation needed]. He was an effective defender rare to miss a tackle, and often in position to secure a loose ball.[citation needed]
He joined the Parramatta Eels in 1978 making his first appearance as a stand-in Fullback during the 1978 finals series, and played his first game as the Eels halfback in the 17-11 Minor-Semi replay loss to eventual premiers Manly-Warringah. After a few games at Five-eighth in 1979, Sterling shifted to halfback and established himself as a player to watch in 1980. 1981 saw the Jack Gibson coached Eels win their first Grand Final with a 20-11 win over the Tommy Raudonikis led Newtown Jets, with Sterling's superb skill and control one of the decisive factors. He made his State of Origin debut for New South Wales in the 1981 State of Origin game, setting up a try for Mick Cronin, though the Wally Lewis led Queenslanders turned a 10 point half time deficit into a 7 point, 22-15 win. Sterling himself admitted he was a surprise choice for NSW as he had only made his representative debut a few weeks earlier when he played for City Seconds and rated himself as fifth in line for the NSW job. He was selected over his long-time rival for the NSW halfback spot, Canterbury-Bankstown's Steve Mortimer who had debuted for Australia in their two test series win over France only weeks before the Origin game.
In 1982, Parramatta could seemingly do no wrong, winning the Minor Premiership by four games over Manly. Though they were beaten 20-0 by Manly in the Major Semi-final, the Eels then thrashed Eastern Suburbs 33-0 in the Preliminary Final, before going on to turn the tables on the Sea Eagles with a 21-8 in the Grand Final at the Sydney Cricket Ground to win their second successive premiership.
Sterling was then chosen for the 1982 Kangaroo tour, and along with Queensland halfback Mark Murray was backup to incumbent test halfback Steve Mortimer, despite having not played in the 1982 State of Origin series. After travelling with part of the team to Perth to face a Western Australian team and thus missing a place in Australia's first ever test against Papua New Guinea, Sterlo was presented a golden opportunity by coach Frank Stanton when he was chosen for the first game of the tour against English club side Hull Kingston Rovers. Sterling went about cementing his place in the Kangaroos "A" side and went on to make his Test debut for Australia in the first Ashes Test against Great Britain at Boothferry Park in Hull. The 1982 Kangaroos went on to become the first team to go through Great Britain and France undefeated, earning them the nickname "The Invincibles", and was a personal success for Sterling who played in all five tests against Great Britain and France, and cemented his place as the worlds best halfback.
In 1983, Sterling played in Australia's win in the first test against New Zealand at Carlaw Park in Auckland, but wasn't selected for Australia's shock 12–19 second Test loss at Lang Park when Murray was preferred. He was named man-of-the-match in Game 2 of the State of Origin series at the SCG, a game which saw the NSW side with an all-Parramatta backline of Marty Gurr (fullback), Neil Hunt and Eric Grothe (wings), Mick Cronin and Steve Ella (centres) and Sterlo and Brett Kenny (halves), while the Blues, who defeated Qld 10-6, were captained by Eels Lock forward Ray Price. Sterling then helped Parramatta to a third successive Grand Final win with an 18-6 win, again over runaway minor premiers Manly. Following the his third successive premiership and his fifth overall, Jack Gibson, a man Peter Sterling has nothing but high praise for as both a person and a coach, shocked the establishment and resigned as Parrmatta coach.
Following the 1982 Kangaroo Tour, Sterling had been highly sought after by English clubs and he went on to play for Hull in the 1983–84 English season. He was then chosen for Game 1 of the 1984 State of Origin series, but lost his place to Steve Mortimer for the rest of the series. Sterling was then overlooked for the home Ashes series against Great Britain in 1984, but would still go on to win the Rugby League Week Player of the Year award for the first time. In the 1984 grand final, Sterling and long time partner in crime Brett Kenny had few opportunities against Mortimers Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs who's forwards dominated the Eels pack and gave the star pairing little room to move. The narrow 6-4 loss to the Bulldogs ended the now John Monie coached Parramatta's bid for a 4th successive premiership.
Sterling did not play for Parramatta, in the first half of 1985 as he returned to England to again link with Hull. Though he was relatively quiet upon his return to Parramatta, at the end of the season Sterling's skill allowed Parramatta to defeat Balmain (twice, the second a 32-4 win in the Minor-Semi) and Penrith (Minor Preliminary-Semi), to move from doubtful finalists to the Preliminary Final – where a ruthless Canterbury side on their way to a second successive premiership, easily accounted for the Eels 26-0. As a result of his decision to play in England and miss the first part of the NSWRL premiership, Sterling lost his place in the NSW side in the 1985 State of Origin series to Steve Mortimer, who led the Blues to their first ever series win over Queensland. He also miss his chance to regain his test place for the mid-season tour of New Zealand in 1985, with the halfback role shared between Mark Murray and Manly's versatile utility Des Hasler. By missing both Origin and Test selection in 1985, Sterling missed the opportunity to link with the coach who gave him his first grade debut at Parramatta Terry Fearnley, who coached both representative teams.
While playing for Hull in the early part of 1985, Sterling led the team, which also included a number of internationals such as fullback Gary Kemble, wingers Dane O'Hara and James Leuluai and his halves partner Fred Ah Kuoi (all NZ), centre Garry Schofield (GB), Parramatta second-rower John Muggleton (Aus), and goal kicking forward (and Hull captain) Lee Crooks (GB), into the 1985 Challenge Cup Final against Wigan at the famous Wembley Stadium. In front of a Wembley Cup Final record crowd of 99,801 Wigan ran out 28-24 winners, with Sterling's Parramatta halves partner Brett Kenny (playing for Wigan) winning the Lance Todd Trophy as man of the match. Sterlo, who produced a great game in both attack and defense, had gone into the game as one of the shortest priced favourites to win the Lance Todd Trophy, with bookmakers in Hull allegedly (according to BBC commentator Ray French during the telecast of the Cup Final) refusing to field any more bets on Sterling in the week leading up to the game.
1986 saw Sterling almost carry a clean sweep of the major awards – except the Rothmans Medal – and win the inaugural Clive Churchill Medal in Parramatta's fourth Grand Final victory, reversing the 1984 result with a 4-2 win over Canterbury-Bankstown to send the retiring Mick Cronin and team captain Ray Price out as premiership winners. 1986 also saw the Parramatta with their own home ground for the first time since over-excited fans had burned down the old Cumberland Oval grandstand during the 1981 Grand Final celebrations. Between 1982 and 1985 the club was forced to play home games at Canterbury-Bankstown's home ground, the Belmore Sports Ground, but in 1986 the new Parramatta Stadium was opened by Queen Elizabeth II and Sterling set about making the venue his own personal playground.
During the year he was also part of the NSW Team which swept Qld 3-0 in the State of Origin series (the first time in series history a team had won all three games), winning man of the match in Game 2 at the SCG. After regaining his test place in the successful two test series against New Zealand, Sterling was an automatic selection for his second Kangaroo tour at the end of the season, this time going away as the undisputed number one halfback with 1985 test halfback Des Hasler, and young Penrith tyro Greg Alexander as his understudies. Sterling kept his reputation intact on a second unbeaten tour (which earned the team the nickname "The Unbeatables") and added six more tests to his personal tally with tests against Papua New Guinea (1), Great Britain (3) and France (2).
Despite acquiring Qld and Kangaroo lock Bob Lindner to replace the retired Price, Parramatta fell from premiers to seventh and missed the finals in 1987, with both Grothe and Ella playing very little due to injuries. The year was undoubtedly Sterling's finest year playing in Australia. He swept all major player of the year awards – winning the Rothmans Medal by five points, the Dally M player of the year award, and the Rugby League Week player of the year award.[2] He also played in all four State of Origin games in 1987, which included the exhibition game played at the Veterans Memorial Stadium in Long Beach, California, where he won his second man of the match award for the series after also winning in the 12-6 loss on a wet and muddy SCG in Game 2. He then played in Australia's shock 13-6 loss to New Zealand at Lang Park in the only test match Australia played in 1987.
The 1988 season saw Sterling produce more quality displays for Parramatta despite the team having a disappointing year by finishing in 11th place on the Winfield Cup ladder. After Qld had swept NSW 3-0 in the 1988 Origin series, Sterlo was selected for all three mid-season Ashes tests against Great Britain. In the dead rubber last Test against the Lions at the new Sydney Football Stadium, he suffered a serious shoulder injury and did not play again that year. His injury saw him miss selection for a mid-season test against Papua New Guinea in Wagga Wagga, and what would have been certain selection in Australia's World Cup Final victory over New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland at the end of the season (the halfback spot instead went to Queensland and Brisbane Broncos half Allan Langer).
In 1989, Sterling retired from representative rugby league but performed for Parramatta until an ankle injury ended his season and plans to play out his career in England. 1990 saw Sterling play a full season at the top of his form as he and Kenny lead a young Parramatta side to an improved 8th placing. He won his second Rothmans Medal, but in the last match of the season against Manly, a shoulder injury recurred such that despite Parramatta signing him for two more seasons, Sterling was only able to play four games over the next one and a half seasons. As he had retired from representative football a year earlier, Sterling was not selected for the successful 1990 Kangaroo tour.
A crunching tackle from Western Suburbs forward David "Cement" Gillespie in Round 3 of the 1992 season at Parramatta Stadium saw him dislocate his troublesome shoulder and force his retirement from playing, announced in a tearful press conference the next day (6 April) at the Parramatta Stadium.[3]
Sterling played 229 games for Parramatta in a 15 year career from 1978-1992, scoring 48 tries, one goal, and 15 field goals for a total of 190 points. He played 18 tests for Australia, scoring 4 tries, as well as playing 13 games for NSW (winning 4 man of the match awards), one game for City Firsts, one for City Seconds, 3 for Country Firsts and two for County Origin.
Post-playing career[edit]
Sterling lives on the Central Coast with his wife, Selina, and 16-year-old daughter. He enjoys yoga, golf and horse riding and aims to eventually breed horses. Sterling is an avid football fan and supports Liverpool F.C. in the English Premier League.
Television / Radio Career[edit]
His sharp intelligence marked Sterling as an astute analyst of the game and he took to commentating on Channel Nine after an initial media stint with Western Sydney radio station 2WS (he also had a guest stint as a sideline commentator for Channel 10 during their coverage of the 1987 NSWRL finals). In 1989 he wrote his autobiography, Sterlo! The Story of A Champion. Sterling has been a co-host on Nine Network's The NRL Footy Show with Paul Vautin from 1994-2006. In 2007, he made a special appearance on the first episode of 2007 to give his farewell from the show. In 2010, he made a comeback to the show as an alternating host. Sterling continues hosting The Sunday Footy Show and plays a key commentary role in Nine's game coverage. Sterling will make his head commentator debut in the local derby between the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, and his former team, the Parramatta Eels at Brookvale Oval.
In March 2010, Sterling joined Triple M radio, where he is the expert commentator on Monday Night Football on Triple M as well as an occasional panellist on Dead Set Legends and The Rush Hour with Dan Ginnane (Sports Broadcaster)
In March 2013 Sterling started hosting a new weekly NRL show on Fox Sports called 'Sterlo' airing Thursday nights. His show was axed by Fox Sports in 2014 as it did not attract ratings and he now hosts 'Sterlo: On The Couch' airing Tuesday nights.
Rugby League Awards[edit]
Since retiring from playing the game, Sterling has won several awards. In 1995, Sterling was picked at halfback in a poll to judge the best Australian team since the introduction of the limited-tackle rule in 1967. He won eight of fourteen votes, with the remainder going to Billy Smith, Ricky Stuart and Allan Langer.
In 2000 Sterling was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his contribution to Australia's international standing in rugby league. He was also inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in that year.[4] In 2006, he was one of six past players to be inducted into the Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame at the Dally M. Awards 2006 award ceremony.[5]
In February 2008, Sterling was named in the list of Australia's 100 Greatest Players (1908–2007) which was commissioned by the NRL and ARL to celebrate the code's centenary year in Australia.[6][7]

Levi Johnston, Wee Man, Dara Torres in new pistachio ads
Wonderful Pistachios has rolled out a $15 million "Get Crackin'" ad campaign featuring B- and C-list (and that's probably being generous) celebrities including, perhaps most notably, Levi Johnston, aka Bristol Palin's baby daddy. Zanastardust/Flickr
The eight, 15-second slots are pretty tongue-in-cheek for the most part, playing on the personal or professional foibles of the featured persona. Johnston's has him approaching paparazzi alongside his real-life bodyguard, crunching into a nut with a voiceover saying, "Now Levi Johnston does it with protection." Christopher Knight aka Peter Brady and wife Adrienne Curry's spot features the couple lounging on a couch, clothes strewn on the floor and the voiceover: "Newlyweds do it five times a day." (Weren't they newlyweds, like, five years ago?)
Ads after the jump.
Don't miss the comments in response to Johnston's ad. At least 90 percent of them are in the vein of this, from "Ron": "Now I will look for this brand of Pistachio in my local store, so that I can purposefully buy another brand. Thanks for making my decision making that much easier."
Also, since when did pistachios merit $15 million? Perhaps the industry is still reeling from the blow it was dealt not long ago via a salmonella scare and recall (though Wonderful's products were not among those recalled).

Arthur Ray Briles (born December 3, 1955) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the head football coach at Baylor University, a position he has held since the 2008 season. From 2002 to 2007, Briles was the head coach at the University of Houston. He is also the author of Beating Goliath: My Story of Football and Faith (2014).[3]
Playing career[edit]
A native of Rule, Texas, Briles attended Rule High School, where he was coached by his father. Playing quarterback and earning all-state honors, Briles led Rule to the Texas Class B state championship game as a senior in 1973, where they lost to Big Sandy led by David Overstreet and Lovie Smith.[4] Briles accepted a scholarship offer by Bill Yeoman at the University of Houston, where he switched to wide receiver and played three seasons, including the 1977 Cotton Bowl Classic. Briles' parents and aunt died in a car crash on U.S. Route 380 near Newcastle, Texas, while on their way to Dallas to see him play in a game on October 16, 1976.[4] His then-girlfriend and now wife, the former Jan Allison, had planned to make the trip with his family, but decided to stay behind in Rule to attend a friend's bridal shower.[4] After finishing the 1976–77 academic year, Briles left Houston and transferred to Texas Tech, which Jan was attending at the time,[4] to complete his bachelor's degree, which he earned in 1979.[5][6] He went on to earn a master's degree in education at Abilene Christian University before entering coaching.[5] Briles is a staunch churchgoer and has attested to the role his faith has had in influencing his coaching.[7]
Coaching career[edit]
High school[edit]
" | I saw how [Briles] went from running a wishbone offense to a multiple offense that used the shotgun and different kinds of snaps. When he began running the spread in Stephenville, he really put defenses in a bind. | " |
—Larry Moorehead, who was an assistant under Briles for 11 years at Hamlin, Georgetown and Stephenville.[8] |
Briles began his coaching career as an assistant at Sundown High School. From 1980 to 1983, he served as an assistant at Sweetwater High School. At age 28, he became head coach at 2A Hamlin High School, where he coached from 1984 to 1985. He guided the team to a 27–1–1 record including a 35–19 loss to Electra High School in the 1985 state semifinals. His instant success caught the attention of bigger schools, so Briles left Hamlin for 5A Georgetown High School in 1986, where he had a difficult two-year span in the school's first two seasons at the highest classification in Texas high school football at the time. Briles left the school in 1987 with a 4–15–1 overall record.
In 1988, he took over head coaching duties at 4A Stephenville High School in Stephenville, Texas, a school that was playing in the same area as state powerhouse Brownwood High School and had not reached the playoffs in football since 1952. After a 4–5–1 season in 1989, Briles' Stephenville squads made the playoffs in 1990 and ever since. During Briles' tenure they won four state championships, including back-to-back titles in 1993 and 1994, and then again in 1998 and 1999. Coincidentally, in the 1993 and '94 state finals Briles' Stephenville squads faced La Marque, then coached by Briles' defensive coordinator at Houston, Alan Weddell. Briles' record at Stephenville was 135–29–2[2]
Although Stephenville's offense was devastating throughout the 1990s, Briles shifted his offensive scheme from a running game in the early 90s to a passing game in the late 90s. Stephenville's first two state championship teams scored 89 touchdowns rushing in 1993, and 96 touchdowns rushing in 1994, which was second and third all-time in the nation, respectively, only behind Big Sandy's national record 114 touchdowns rushing from the 1975 season. In the late 90s, Briles adapted the spread offense and today is one of the coaches credited for introducing it to Texas high school football.[9] His 1998 team posted 8,664 yards of total offense, breaking the 73-year-old national record 8,588 yards originally established by Pine Bluff High School in 1925.
Briles was also known for developing quarterbacks, sending six of his former players to Division I colleges, including Kelan Luker, Branndon Stewart, Kevin Kolb, and his son Kendal Briles.
Briles ended his high school coaching career with a record of 165–46–3.[2]
Briles left Stephenville after the 1999 season to join Mike Leach's staff at Texas Tech. While serving as running backs coach, Briles improved Texas Tech's rushing average every year from 66.4 yards a game in his first year to 99.6 yards a game in 2002. He also coached all-conference backs and later NFL players Ricky A. Williams, Shaud Williams, and Taurean Henderson. In addition, the very first player he recruited to Texas Tech, undersized wide receiver Wes Welker, went on to catch more than 250 passes and return an NCAA-record eight punts for touchdowns while at Tech, and then had even greater success in the NFL with five Pro Bowl appearances.[4]
In 2003, Briles was hired as head coach at the University of Houston, where he took over a program that had an 8–26 record under the previous coach, Dana Dimel. The Cougars went 0–11 just two years before Briles' arrival. In his first season, Briles led the Cougars to a 7–5 record, including a 54-48 triple overtime loss to Hawaiʻi, in the Sheraton Hawaiʻi Bowl.
After a 3–8 season in 2004, Briles guided the Cougars to a 6–6 season and another bowl game in 2005. In 2006, he led the Cougars to a 10–4 record and the Conference USA Championship that was played on December 1, 2006. The Cougars won the game 34–20 and it was the school's second C-USA Championship (the first came in 1996, in the school's inaugural season in the C-USA).
In 2007, the Cougars finished second in the Conference USA West Division to Todd Graham's Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Houston was invited to the Texas Bowl, which was played December 28, 2007 at Reliant Stadium.[10] It was Houston's fourth bowl appearance in five years. Briles left the Cougars before their bowl game to take the head coaching job at Baylor.
Briles interviewed for the Baylor head coach position on November 27, 2007, and was hired the next day for a seven-year term.[11][12][13] At Baylor, Briles was faced with a familiar task to turn around another rebounding program. Within three years, Art Briles led the Baylor Bears to their first bowl game in 15 years.
In his first season at Baylor, Briles led the Bears to a 4–8 record, 2–6 in Big 12 play. The season featured the emergence of freshman quarterback Robert Griffin, and the team's second win in 23 years over rival Texas A&M. In his second season at Baylor, the Bears again finished with a 4–8 record. However, they only went 1–7 in Big 12 conference play. Griffin was injured and missed every conference game. Baylor bounced back in 2010 with a 7–5 (4–4 conference) record with Griffin, who passed for over 3,000 yards, at the helm. This led to a bid in the Texas Bowl where they played Illinois.
Briles led the 2011 Baylor team in its most successful season since the formation of the Big 12 Conference in 1996. With Baylor's win in the 2011 Valero Alamo Bowl game, Briles led the Bears to a 10–3 record. The only other time Baylor has won as many as 10 games was in 1980. The 2011 season opened at home against 14-ranked TCU. In a nationally televised game, Baylor won a dramatic 50–48 decision. It was Baylor's first win over a ranked opponent since 2004. In Big 12 Conference play the Bears would accumulate a 6–3 record, eclipsing their previous high of 4 conference wins in 2010. The Bears finished a perfect 7–0 at Floyd Casey Stadium, including a 45–38 upset victory over the #5 Oklahoma Sooners and a 48–24 victory over #22 Texas. The victory over Oklahoma was the first for the Bears, having lost the previous 20 meetings between the two schools. In 2011, Baylor also defeated Texas Tech for the first time since 1995 (snapping a 15 game losing streak to the Red Raiders). Following the conclusion of the 2011 regular season, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, whom Briles was instrumental in recruiting and developing, was awarded the 77th annual Heisman Trophy.[14]
Briles has won 17 Big 12 conference games in his five years as head coach. Baylor had won only 11 Big 12 conference games in the 12 seasons preceding his arrival.
Under Briles, the Bears completed the 2012 regular season by winning four of their last five games. Perhaps the apex of Briles' 2012 season was his involvement in the most-stunning upset of 2012 when his unranked Bears defeated the Kansas State Wildcats, BCS Number-1 ranked team at the time, by a score of 52-24, which propelled Baylor in winning its final 3 games, earning the Bears an invitation to play UCLA in the Holiday Bowl in San Diego.[15]
In 2013, Briles led Baylor to arguably the best season in school history. The Bears started the season 9-0, propelling them as high as third in the nation at one point. They ultimately finished with a school-record 11 wins and only the second top-ten finish in school history. A 30-10 win over Texas in the final game of the season garnered them the Big 12 Championship and the school's first-ever BCS bowl appearance with a trip to the 2014 Fiesta Bowl. News reports on the day after the Fiesta Bowl named Briles as the leading candidate to replace Mack Brown as head coach at the University of Texas, however, Briles would announce on January 3 his return to Baylor for the foreseeable future.
In 2014 Briles again coached the Bears to another outstanding season. The Bears finished with another 11 win season and repeated as Big 12 Champions; this time earning a berth in the Cotton Bowl Classic, one of the prestigious New Years Six bowl games. Baylor also finished the year ranked #7 in the AP poll, their third top ten finish in school history.

28 year old woman | Cleveland, OH, USA | Seeking men 23-28 within 50 miles
You only live once!
Let's see, where do I begin. Probably like most people on here, the bar scene has grown old and the clientele is not what I am looking for in a partner. I currently work as a Pharmacy Program Specialist at the Cleveland VA and don't have that much time during the week. I love my job and have worked hard to get where I am today. The part missing in my life now is someone to share it with. I live an active and healthy lifestyle. I stay active by going to the gym, running, and about anything else imaginable outside. Just ask me. On the weekends I like to travel, hang out with friends and get involved in anything possible. I can keep going but I will leave that for you to find out. Family and friends are a big part of my life and have gotten me to where I am today. I am always willing to offer up my services and have been told that I need to put myself first sometimes. I volunteer at the Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity by working at the docks or on the construction sites on a regular basis. I am a pretty easygoing and laid back individual. There is usually no one that I can't get along with. I am sarcastic and like to joke around. I do tend to be shy at first but that will only last for a short while. So what am I looking for? I am looking for someone who is ready to start a future, a serious relationship. I want a guy who loves being with me but also gives me my space to do things alone. I am looking for a guy who has similar interests, sets goals, and enjoys taking chances and trying new things. It's all about having fun and enjoying life. I don't really have a type but, there are qualities that i am specifically looking for and of course there is the physical attraction factor. I am excited about finding my perfect match and the adventures that are in store. Shoot me an email or a wink and let's get to know each other.

I like traveling and going to the beach. Daytona Beach has got to be my favorite place. I enjoy working out and watching the occasional TV shows like House, Bones and Castle.
I enjoy just about anything sports related, Baseball, Disc Golf, Golfing. I also love being outside so that would have to include 4-wheelers and dirt bikes.
Knowledge Based Management and The Trusted Advisor. Sounds boring but they were suggested for the Six Sigma Training that I am involved in for work.

The adult of the white grub is the Japanese Beetle, May beetle or June beetle. The larva, which is "C"-shaped with a white body and tan or brown head, damages lawns and gardens by feeding on grass roots. The adult beetles feed on over 275 plant species including roses, ornamentals, deciduous fruit trees, vegetables, grasses, and weeds.
A fully-grown larva is roughly the size of your little finger. White grubs overwinter as larvae and are ready to start feeding on roots as the soil warms up in the spring. Depending on the species, a life cycle may require one, two, or more years. Damage results both from larvae feeding on roots as well as the attraction of moles to the larvae.
Controlling Grubs - Larvae Control
Adult Beetle Control
ARBICO Organics tries to provide pest control solutions for small-scale gardeners as well as larger commercial growing operations. Pyrethrum is the best organic insecticide treatment against Japanese Beetles.
Small Areas and Garden Beetle Control: Direct spray applications of insecticidal soap will kill Japanese Beetles on contact but does not provide any residual protection. Use Safer BioNeem (a combination of insecticidal soap and Neem oil), but keep in mind that Neem can be damaging to plants that are herbaceous or "sensitive," and in those situations, you might want to use a Pyrethrum spray (Take Down Garden Spray).
Large Area Beetle Control: Use PyGanic EC 1.4. This is a pyrethrum concentrate that is effective against hundreds of insects, including the Japanese Beetle. If the water in the area to be treated is alkaline, consider adding Citric Acid to lower the pH to a mid-range of approximately 7.

Database Connection Pooling with Tomcat | |
Subject: | Like this piece | |
Date: | 2006-07-11 08:19:51 | |
From: | Godshall_David | |
A good introduction to DB connection pooling in simple web container like Tomcat. Looking forward to read more on Tomcat or Jetty. I'm particularly interested in lightweight containers like Tomcat and frameworks (like Spring) that don't require a heavy weight app server like WLS. The best part I like about ONJava articles is their simplicity :)
