City Chamber Orchestra of HK to present Spanish fiesta
"A Spanish Fiesta" by the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong will be staged next month featuring renowned guitarist Xuefei Yang with traditional Spanish music.
Also performing at the concert will be mezzo-soprano Cynthia Luff and guest conductor Carlos Checa. The programme includes Albeniz's "Sevilla, Cadiz & Asturias" (from Suite Espanola, No. 1) (arr. Koster & Thomas), Rodrigo's "Tres viejos aires de danza" (Three Traditional Dance Airs), "Concierto de Aranjuez" and De Falla's "El amor brujo" (Love the Magician).
Established in 1999, the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong comprises professional musicians from more than 10 nationalities as well as former members of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestra gives regular concerts each year with internationally renowned artists.

She has been awarded numerous prizes in guitar competitions such as the Stotsenberg International Guitar Competition, the San Francisco International Guitar Competition and the Young Concert Artist International Competition in the US. Born in Beijing, Yang was the first guitarist to graduate from the Central Conservatory of Music and received a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music. She gave her debut concert in Madrid at the age of 14. A few years later, John Williams heard her perform and gave her his own Smallman guitar. In 2003 and 2004 she gave 54 concerts for the "Night of the Proms" tour to Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. In the coming season, Yang will perform in Denmark, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Amsterdam.

'24': Katee Sackhoff's character has a past, talks down to Chloe
"Battlestar Galactica"'s Katee Sackhoff has landed herself a new gig playing "24"'s Dana Walsh, the head data analyst at CTU and Chloe O'Brien's boss.
As Sackhoff explains in the clip below, Dana is a constant optimist, she's always smiling, she's engaged to Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character, she just loves her life and can be a little condescending to Chloe.
"I think that poor Chloe might bite back eventually, I'm not sure," says Sackhoff.
Oh we hope so.
But there's a bit more to Dana than meets the eye. She's hiding something: "Dana has a past," Sackhoff admits. "She's a woman who made some mistakes when she was a teenager... We all did, so it's one of those things that I think you can relate to."
Listen to the clip for more...

I heard that November is going to bring on us some torrential rains.
That means that Kampala city will be flooded as it is wont to and you will be stuck in a jam nearly every time you get on the road in the morning and evening.
I know your old school joke was that smartness knows no weather but, sweetie, that was just to boost your ego. Now is that time to pull out all your pants suits if your office is one that requires you to dress business-like. Kick out the short skirts and dresses.
Pull out all your dress pants and suits. Underneath the jacket, layer your clothes starting with a vest, then maybe a T-shirt before you throw on your blouse and coat. That way when it gets warm during the day, you can just pull off the vest and tee underneath or just stay in the vest.
I am sure you can find space at office to pull this off. Now is the time to make use of your sweater, but while you are at it, make it stylish. Wear cashmere sweaters. Maybe there is no affordable genuine cashmere in Uganda but you will find a good fake. Choose bright colours to cheer up your cold day.
Even the jackets, the market is awash with all colours of jackets that cost about Shs 40,000; so, indulge. And because it is going to be very muddy, you will need flat shoes, preferably pumps, that will not only agree with Uganda's dirty muddy landscape but also keep your feet warm.
The beauty about these is that you can wear socks with them for extra warmth. If you have a serious business meeting, you can always pull them off while heading out. As for the casual wear kind of office, here is your chance to show off all the jeans without feeling guilty.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great friggin' shirt, but it never should have been in Not Safe for Threadless challenge and it definitely shouldn't have won it. Threadless chose a very safe design and didn't pick one of the edgier, more risque designs. That's just weak Threadless, stand by the decisions you make and follow through.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1993 Notchback Mustang - Dental Hygiene - Fox Street Star
After Dental School, Rick Linden Filled His Need For A Killer-Clean Fox Street Star
We're usually the ones who pen feature car stories because, well, that's how we earn those big, fat magazine paychecks. But the following first-person narrative that accompanied Rick Linden's tech sheet tells the tale about his sanitary, yet insanely powerful, '93 notchback concisely and painlessly. Being a dentist, we guess he knows the drill
Growing up in Detroit, it seemed as if everyone had a hot rod in their garage; everyone except me, that is. I had made up my mind at a young age to pursue an education, so I could never afford to build what I really wanted. But I made myself a promise to build my ultimate street car as soon as it was possible.
There never was any question as to what make or model car to build. Every GM product I ever owned ended up with a blown motor. my first car was a Dodge Dart-enough said there-and I had owned a few Ford pickups that I just couldn't kill. To me, the 5.0 Fox-body Mustang just looked and sounded cooler than anything on the street.
My first Mustang was an '89 hatchback stick car that I bought in bone-stock condition with 32,000 miles on it. It was beautiful but slow. Stop me if you've heard this one before, but it didn't take long for me to replace nearly every part on the car. It had a Mexican block, good pistons and rods, a Vortech S-Trim blower, short-tube headers, a Performance Automatic C-4 Supercomp tranny, and some drag suspension components, among other things. It was a killer, super-fun street car that spun the dyno to 498 rwhp and ran 10.1 all day long. Anyone could get in that car and strip off a low-10-second pass; it was that predictable and easy to drive. It would hook on the street and I never lost a street race.
But before long that just wasn't fast enough. So I had the car rebuilt from the ground up. I was going to try to build the fastest stock suspension car in the country. I started with an A-4 block bored 0.100 over, added an 88mm turbo, rollcage, gutted all the creature comforts, and ended up with a car that went 5.5's in the eighth and 8.35 in the quarter. I wrecked the car at our local track in spectacular fashion, so I needed another Mustang.
I built yet another race car and raced it successfully for a year or two, but I soon began to tire of trailers, tow vehicles, expensive repairs, and down time while the race car was broken. I began to miss the fun I had with my first Mustang street car. So I gave up racing with the intention of building my ultimate street car.
I wanted a Fox coupe and I wanted one that hadn't been beaten to death. I wanted a silver coupe with black interior that was in good shape-good luck. I searched the Internet for months and went on several wild goose chases until I found my '93 coupe, complete with black interior and five-speed, unmolested and in fantastic shape. I bought it from Jay Meagher, who worked at Lamotta Performance near Orlando. Jay worked on Mustangs all day long and he was basically "over it" when it came to modifying Mustangs, so he kept his street car stock. I paid him a fair sum for my blank canvas and promised him he would like the result when I was done.

Quentin Dupieux: Rubber
Rubber is the story of Robert, an inanimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert, and suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes without having to move.
I have no idea what to make of this but from the few minutes the trailer offers I'm keen to find out more. Directed by Quentin Dupieux (aka Mr. Oizo) Rubber is described as "smart, funny and wholly original tribute to the cinematic concept of 'no reason'."

The nose is very pretty, subtle, with very nice white florals and tropical fruits with a background of sweet lemon. Tropical fruits and whit flowers show on the palate, too, leering with pineapple and key lime, trending toward Meyer lemon and ginger (more ginger snaps than fresh root) on the mid-palate. The finish is mid-length. Drink with chicken salad. Highly Recommended. DH WHO: Hans Lang WHAT: Riesling WHERE: Rheingau, Germany WHEN: 2009 HOW MUCH: $28

1/4 cup
rolled oats
1 tablespoon
chia seeds
1 cup
pineapple juice
1/2 cup
chocolate-flavored soy milk
8 chunks
frozen pineapple
frozen whole strawberries
1 small
I doubled this recipe to make two smoothies. I made two changes, only to use what I had on hand. I did not have chia seeds, I used a tablespoon of wheat germ. I also do not have chocolate soy milk on hand, I used lactose free milk and homemade sugar free chocolate syrup to make chocolate milk and used that instead. My kids didn't say wether they liked it or not......they drank it but they weren't enthusastic about it. I'll make it again tomorrow and update my review when I get a definite like/dislike.
I thought this was pretty good. I couldn't taste the oatmeal or chia seeds. I have a Vitamix and they blended to a fine powder. I thought the pineapple taste was a little dominant. I would like to try this again and use more of the soy for the pineapple juice. I got 2 servings. Very healthy. ty
5 Ratings
Surprisingly, it tastes just like banana split! I can taste each ingredient in every sip (except for the oatmeal and the chia seeds which only add texture and nutrition to the smoothie). I made the smoothie as written except my pineapple wasn't frozen. So, I added a few ice cubes. If your pineapple is not very sweet, that might throw the flavor off some and might require for you to add a sweetener (in which case I always use honey). Will make again.
I didn't like it as much but the kidlets said it tasted just like a banana split.
I love the texture given by the oats. The addition of pineapple is really what makes this smoothie unique for me. It is good, but not my favorite.

Rated 3.9 out of 5Â by 8 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams pretty color but gave me thighs of thunder Recieved the marine color today, got sz 26 that fit me well 5'4 and 107 lbs, would have fit the 25 as well, ,these are stretchy and they fit longer on me on the model, of course:) Now, I dont really have big thighs, really:), they are athletic but rather skinny or so i thought until i put on these..oh my!!! thighs of thunder balanced on toothpicks glared back at me from my mirror and my dogs and cat fled in horror. Boy, the bold color is beautiful but did not help the situation much. Looks amazing on skinny model, though! Hmmm id say if you are athletic built, in the thigh area for sure, these might not be for you. I think if these were available in flares/bellbottoms they'd be a keeper for me. 12.15.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by auflove Super Flattering I love these cords-the lace up detail is fun and flattering. I originally ordered these in a 26 in th teal color (I'm normally a 25-26; 5'5 105 lbs) but I sent them back for a 25 and they fit much better. They have stretch in them but just enough to be comfortable but still keep their shape after wearing for awhile. The model in the photo must be super tall because these come to my ankles with a little extra length so they don't look cropped on me. 12.30.2011
Rated 3 out of 5Â by travelingirl Pretty pink I received these today in my usual size 26 and realized I should have ordered a 27. They are really cute, but no where near as short as they are on the model, she must be at least 7 feet tall! I am 5'6", and they bunched up at the ankles on me. The inseam IS NOT 25, so take note of that. They are more like a 31 or so. I do love the pink color, but trying to decide if they're worth keeping. I agree with the other reviewer that they would be SO much cuter in a flare pant. I may send them back :( 12.18.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by drdi longer than advertised, but cute style I got the blush color and like the lace up front, the unfinished looking hem and the fit. They are stretchy and the size 26 fit my 5'3" 110# frame with a little room to spare. I think the inseam is about 31 inches, though, definitely not the 25 in the description. They are soft, nice fabric, and I didn't think they did anything to accentuate my thighs or look different than most skinny cords. I could consider getting the marine color if they wash well. But if you think you are getting an ankle crop, think again (unless I got a mutant pair). 12.16.2011
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Cherieboo Cool look but..... When I seen these on-line, I HAD to have them! So I ordered the turquoise. When, I received them; I thought these aren't going to fit me. Indeed they did. But, for the price, I don't think that they are worth it! I told someone I know: how much I paid~they were shocked! The material is cheap, and very thin. But, I am going to keep them. I've paid this and more for jean's. The quality is not so hot. The idea is good; the quality should be better!! I had always wanted this style of pant! ONLY reason I am keeping them. It is a real hassle to return garment's!! 1.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Spencersmom Very Nice I bought these in the teal. They are very nice. The fabric is very light and stretchy, but they keep their shape. They are not cropped on me (5'2"). I would definitely buy these in a flare. 5.27.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by snowflower love im usually a 24, ordered the 25 and its a semi relaxed fit, plus these stretch. i ordered the rosebud. i'm 5'6 and these bunch up at my ankles. they're a super flattering, super funky slack-type pant and i LOVE them, but they are a total lint-attractor. i find myself rolling lint off of my pants all day due to the light color and sticky fabric. 2.15.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by crowdedrooms Very nice fit and color! These looked VERY small and tight when I received them, but they actually fit me perfectly. The one thing is that they are not cropped as they are on the model, but that is probably because I am 5'. They fit very well, and they also are stretchy. I really like them. They're very different from some other pants I have owned, but I am looking forward to wearing them. The color is very nice. The fit is flattering. Definitely recommend! 12.25.2011

text: Fact? Both have a gold cup. Vela has a u17 world championship + golden boot. Chich has more goals but is a striker, Vela has not played in his so far prime but has 9 in 35 and all at 21 or younger. I'd def' give chich the nod but I could see Vela being just as important now if he got PT early on and/or continued with the NT.

You need to assign a drive letter to System Reserved in Disk Management window.
No need to pay for something that windows can do natively. Just assign the drive letter and try it again and let us know if you can do it then.

I mean just the c: drive and not that system partition that windows creates during the install. That partition is usually like 100mb or so. The reason I say that because that partition just gets recreated anyways during reinstall so its not really that important.
The backup drive is in ntfs format. It is an external usb hard disk.
The computer I want to backup is a netbook.
I also did not understand your last phrase "did you just try it on the drive with just windows on it."

I guess the Broken Drum is for general discussions, great adventures or mishaps. So I have something of the latter to talk about. Just before Christmas I talked with my Mum, Sister and a couple who are good friends of mine (but being in France I rarely see) about us all meeting up for some fun with other Discworlders at the convention. However, they let the ball slip, not realising quite how quickly the tickets sell. I would be most grateful of any news that would aid my quest in finding four tickets. (e.g. send me a private message)
Happy drinking,

A private processor of essential oils, Ikirezi Natural Products Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with farmers to buy from them patchouli leaves in order to process products for export.
The government is banking on export diversification, especially in nontraditional exports like coffee, tea and minerals to cushion the economy and bridge the existing trade imbalance.
Ikirezi Natural Products Limited is one of the companies said to have great potential and currently processes essential oils from other products like geranium with patchouli now its third raw material.
According to the MoU, farmers will for a period of three years supply dry leaves to the company which will then be processed into the final products including perfumes, medicine and different food flavours.
"Ikirezi have been in this business to process and produce essential oils; thus, we hope farmers will greatly benefit from this MoU," said Assinath Uwimbabazi Director of Diversification in National Agriculture and Exports Development Board (NAEB).
She said that Ikirezi steps in to fill the gap left by a private French investor who has been in business since 2008 but decided not to renew his contract with the farmers.
According to Uwimbabazi, district authorities in collaboration with NAEB intervened and approached different investors to take up the market gap left by the French investor. Ikirezi finally accepted to venture into the business.
Patchouli is considered as one of the new export products with high returns.
Farmers are projected to earn $3000 per year per hectare.
"Prices are likely to increase depending on how this product is selling and I am convinced the demand is there," Uwimbabazi said.
On average, it is said that five millitres of patchouli oils cost between $10 and $12 while, a kilogramme of patchouli dry leaves from farmers will cost Rwf400.
The product is grown in Bugarama, Rusizi District by Inyesamihigo Cooperative and in Kirehe District by ND-Oyak Limited. The product is mainly exported to the United States, United Kingdom and France.
NAEB pledged to work closely with Ikirezi to support farmers to improve the product in terms of quality and quantity through extension services, training on how to handle the product, supplying them with seeds and any other technical assistance they may need.
In a bid to encourage farmers to grow the crop, government through NAEB will provide concessional loans to investors and a 15 per cent discount per tree for farmers with a maximum of 100,000 plants.
To date, traditional commodities contribute above 70 percent of exports. The government has pledged to focus on horticulture and other new export products to reduce this dependency on traditional export commodities.

Andravida-Kyllini HotelsAndravida-Kyllini is a small rural municipality set in the Elis region of southwestern Greece. Andravida-Kyllini is ideal for those seeking a truly authentic Greek holiday. Lounge on the warm white sands of the Ionian coast and swim in the crystal-clear waters, before wandering the olive groves and exploring the many ancient ruins – from shrines to small amphitheaters – that are speckled throughout the municipality. In the evenings, enjoy fresh, locally sourced and home cooked cuisine in the traditional restaurants. Things to seeBegin your Andravida-Kyllini morning by taking a short 30 minute drive through the rocky green hills of Elis' wild countryside to Chlemoutsi, an enormous Medieval castle which shoots up over the landscape, glimmering gold in the warm Greek sunlight. Built in the 1220s by Crusaders, the stony vine-clad turrets, war-battered fortress walls, and vast, erie vaults are almost perfectly preserved, transporting you back hundreds of years. After, visit the mystical Kyllini baths in nearby Loutra-Kyllini, an area of exceptional natural beauty. Wander through dense, deep green vegetation and eucalyptus trees, emerging to discover the thermal springs - warm white-blue waters that twist around the ruins of Roman baths, rumoured since ancient times to possess magical healing powers. Complete your day of diverse history by visiting the Vlacherna Monastery, a small Byzantine convent capped with a sloping red roof and surrounded by a shady stone courtyard.Hotels in Andravida-KylliniTreat yourself to a slice of paradise, and stay in a 5-star Andravida-Kyllini hotel. These heavenly havens offer spa style retreats, with indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, massage treatments, and shuttle buses which take you to and from the Elis region's vast sandy beaches. For something more affordable, stay in a traditional 3-star guesthouse hotel, which boast welcoming hosts, ensuite rooms with balconies and kitchenettes, and small flower-rich gardens. If you're travelling with a group of friends or as a family, consider staying in one of the luxury apartment rentals, which offer spacious communal areas.Where to stayIf you want a taste of truly authentic small-town Greek charm with immediate beach access, stay in Loutra-Kyllini. Here you'll benefit from smooth, uncrowded sands, quiet eateries - which serve fresh salads of local olives, creamy feta and plump tomatoes - and the nearby Kyllini baths. For a more rural setting steeped in the region's endlessly intriguing heritage, stay slightly further inland in the town of Kastro, looked over by the Chlemoutsi castle. For something a bit different, hop on a ferry and stay in the adjacent popular island of Zakynthos, where turquoise lagoons and swathes of wild forests are in abundance.How to get to Andravida-KylliniTake a seasonal summer flight to Zakynthos International Airport - throughout the rest of the year, take a flight to Athens and change - marveling at the lush green island as you gently land. From there, take a ferry across the smooth Ionian waters to Kyllini Port. Three ferries run per day, and take just over 3 hours. Once in the small port town of Kyllini, affordable taxis will gladly carry you off to your chosen Andravida-Kyllini destination. The region's public transport can be unpredictable, so it's best to get your own car at one of the rentals near Kastro.

Some 244,00 Scots fall into this category, new figures showed, with the number across the UK increasing by a million since the start of the economic downturn in 2008. A total of 3.05 million workers were under-employed, with almost two-thirds in part-time jobs, said the Office for National Statistics.
Occupations with the highest number of under-employed workers included cleaners, caterers and labourers.
The highest under-employment rates were in the East Midlands, Yorkshire and Humber, the north-east and the south-west, where more than 10% of workers wanted to work more hours. In Scotland, 9.9% of workers wanted to work more hours, which was the average amount for the UK.
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said: "Part-time working suits millions of people. For many it is an important step to full-time work."

Washington: You, Storm, are no iPhone!
We're not sure if picking on the BlackBerry Storm is even sporting anymore, and you know, we probably wouldn't even bother if RIM hadn't styled it the "Apple Killer" even while bleating that they "couldn't type on glass". Well, according to BlackBerryCool.com, it turns out some other people couldn't type on the Storm's specific type of glass either: the US Government:
"The BlackBerry, to me, is a utilitarian tool," said Rodell Mollineau, communications staff director for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). "It's not easy to send e-mails on that thing. It is not a good touch screen, and it's not like the iPhone, where there are so many other great features to it."
Dear US Government, next time just read TiPb -- we could have saved you lots of frustration (and who knows, maybe even restored your childlike sense of wonder!)
Oh, and get more iPhones!

Washington: You, Storm, are no iPhone!
I played with the storm for about 3 minutes. I didn't know the guy well. Typing wasn't that bad. I think it's harder to get the words right on my iPhone now-a-days. I guess it's because I type a lot faster on this phone and the keyboard does not keep up with my two thumbs. But the menus were confusing the least bit
Having used the storm briefly by someone who wanted to know what I thought compared to my nor-always-perfect typing on my iPhone. In a word: atrocious. If I'd upgraded to that from an earlier Blackberry I'd have been furious. I'll admit that the iPhone's lack of tactile response isn't perfect. But exchnaging it for a wonky wobbly key cap the size of small notepad doesn't really cut it either, IMO. and to be clear: I'm talking solely of the hardware, not saying anything of the other software matters that RIM has been addressing.

Thanks to all. I'm aware of most of the 3rd party products, but since I'm not in that decision, it doesn't really matter. I was hoping to understand for myself really, what a browser based app can't do right, whereas a thick client, like Visual Basic, or Visual Lansa, can do it right. I know that Joe Pluta's product would convert everything on the fly, and they would be done, but that doesn't make them .NET. I wonder why they chose the browser instead of C++ (whatever). I heard something they said about the browser making deployment of apps much easier, but done right, deployment is easy enough. I like the security point. Their network was down like 2 weeks because of Code Red. Of course, all the TELNET to As/400 apps worked fine. And as I said before, as far as keeping a customer, I don't worry much about losing them. This project is so bad, I'll be around forever maintaining and sweetening their existitng software. Reeve had said previously that you get what you spec when you offshore. I think they let the liason spec it out, and he has no experience whatsoever in their line of business. Another smart decision. When I talk with my partners about this, none of it makes sense. These people own this family business, it's very profitable, growing by leaps and bounds, they are obviously not stupid business people. But when it comes to their IT, they lose their minds and make the wrong decisions. The managers that have used the product have all said it sucks, the real "end" users are just low level people that come and go. BTW John, I like the line in Pirates of the Carribbean, when they asked what's the reason Johnny Depp's pirate character behaves so strangely, "Reason ain't got nothin to do with it" Art Thanks, Art

Sanzpont proposes shape shifting 'Room for London'
Image of 17 - Use your left and right arrow keys to navigate the gallery
Article Summary
Commissioned by Living Architecture and Artangel, the challenge of "A Room for London" was to design a one-bedroom temporary installation to be perched on top of the Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre, well known to be one of London's most visible sites. The project attracted the attention of 500 architects worldwide and the winning design went to a beautifully crafted timber boat structure from David Kohn and Fiona Banne, but it was the remarkable design from Spanish architects Sanzpont which really caught our eye.

Oversight panel advises cut in lottery scholarships
Posted: December 18, 2012 at 12:22 p.m.
LITTLE ROCK A legislative panel is recommending cuts in the level of lottery funded-scholarships.
The Legislative Lottery Oversight Committee on Tuesday voted to recommend trimming scholarship awards to $3,300 for university students and $1,650 for community college students.
If approved in the coming session, the new amounts would take hold in the 2013-2014 school year. Currently, lottery scholarship recipients get $4,500 or $2,250.
Legislators say the popularity of the scholarships and reduced revenue make the cuts necessary.
The lottery was approved by Arkansas voters in 2008 and sales began in September 2009. Lottery tickets are sold at about 1,900 businesses and are available in all 75 Arkansas counties.
Lottery officials said earlier this month that it's awarded $300 million in scholarship money since its inception.

Have I ever said Chip kelly will fail in the NFL??
all I've said is the many questions....We have a basketball coach in eugene who ??? as a High school basketball coach won a state title...wow in high school??? now this guy coaches in the NAIA leagues and hasnt done well.
this could be Chip Kelly...No experience in the pros but ?? you've read his bio and did a hell of job in college Sidenote COLLEGE....
and didn't I just read a persons 5 year plan??? what was it...and 8-8 year next year...followed by a 12-4 season and 2 super bowls??? and winning the 2nd???
im sorry but isnt that lot of Pressure on a coach who has NO experience????
my God id be happy for a game plan as kelly has "win the day" meaning one game at a time?????
this sounds like most college fans??? either win or the world has ended????
As an Eagle fan I didn't want Chip Kelly. Let's get that out there RIGHT NOW. I wanted Gus Bradley or Vic Fangio, because I was sure we (or anyone else) couldn't get Jon Gruden or Bill Cowher. I wanted a coach who knew the NFL. Not football, the NFL.
I wasn't opposed to Chip Kelly over his controversial X's and O's. All football coaches know X's and O's. All I've heard about Chip Kelly is that he's an absolute wizard with X's and O's. I'm sure he can adjust his X's to find advantages vs the other guys O's just fine.
It's the part of coaching that has nothing to do with the X's and O's that had ME worried. Then Chip Kelly himself justified that worry during his introductory press conference, when he said "football is football"
Hey Chip, Steve Spurrier much?
The job of an NFL coach isn't just game-planning. You also have to be able to handle full-grown men who are in most cases millionaires, many cases nationally recognized stars, and even (albeit rarely) reality TV sensations who are intentionally being difficult to draw attention to themselves. And that's before we get to talking about anybody being in a contract year, or having been asked to take a pay cut.
College players don't get into Twitter wars do they? Sure they do. Do they get the level of attention that LeSean McCoy's Twitter wars get? Or the level of attention (and backlash) that Rashard Mendenhall got over his Osama bin Laden tweet? Nope. Not at all.
Kelly has to be able to handle these sort of distractions, even while coming up with ways to win against more talented competition than he's ever faced, all the while no longer enjoying the advantage of superior talent.
He's drafting now, not recruiting.
College players don't get college coaches fired.
This isn't just a different level of the game. Every aspect of the game has changed on him whether he realizes it or not. If he does realize it, his transition will be hard enough; but at least he should be open to learning and possibly some degree of change. If he truly doesn't get it, his transition will be impossible. He will crash and he will burn.
Based on what he has done so far, if I go game by game on this years schedule and start to pencil in the wins, I don't see ONE win on the schedule. Not one.
There is simply nothing to project as far as the Eagles go. A staff, a system, players studying their new roles or playbooks. So far we don't have any of these things. Add to that a coach with no one in-house whose "been there done that" to look to for guidance when the newness becomes too much, and nowhere in there is a recipe for a winner.
Let's be real here. You've penciled in more wins per season than the Eagles have had in the last two years combined so that hasn't worked out so well either. Not many expected the Eagles to go roaring into the playoffs the year Reid took over just like most won't expect that out of Kelly either after a 4-12 season. I would guess you had some of the same concerns then that you do now...it's natural when new coaches come in and we as fans have no clue what to expect. You want to go on record by stating you have doubts (or is it closer to you guaranteeing this isn't going to work) and of course some of us have our doubts and worries also but I'm going to give the man some time and hope he can turn this team around. I've stated it with Vick and I'll state it about Reid also...the Eagles have to make changes when what they already have isn't working. There are never any guarantees and mortal locks and there are none that the coaches you would have prefered would have worked HERE. Reid had a great career here years ago, he may go down in flames in KC. Bradley may get fired in a couple years in Jacksonville and although we will know more about him as a head coach in a couple years that doesn't mean he wouldn't have worked out in Philly but that doesn't matter right now...right now Chip Kelly is the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. You used to type that whoever was the Eagles QB we had to get behind him...doesn't that work for head coaches?
It most certainly does also work for coaches. If you recall I wasn't a fan of Kolb either when he got the starting spot, but (like you said) I typed we had to get behind him.
It's not like I'm going to root against the Eagles just because they hired Chip Kelly, but I'm not going into this without speaking my conscience and sticking with my convictions until they are proven wrong.
thanks Birdflipper
I think ??? the eagles got so desperate??? they saw what Chip did here in Eugene and went wild
but forgetting this is college not the NFL...
we all know what kelly did at Oregon but can he do the same in the NFL??
so many questions???? from whos going to be the QB???? will kelly make football watching like watching basketball???
If eagle fans think Kelly will have similar success in the pros like what he did in college you are seriously kidding yourselves.
You hope you are correct for your own sake. You don't know what's going to happen. We don't either, but for the record I will tell you that with or without Chip Kelly the Eagles will be relevant again.
For my own sake??? You don't honestly think that I lose sleep over what the eagles are doing? My only point Easy is that he's not gonna be able to have the same success in the pros that he had at Oregon. Remember, only a very small percentage of college players ever make it to the NFL, and many of those fail when they do. At Oregon it was like he was able to sign dozens of first round picks every season because of the success of the Oregon recruiting program. In the NFL you only get a crack at the best athletes in the draft if your team failed miserably in the prior season, and those picks are a crap shoot at best(reference Ryan Leaf to name one of the biggest failures). Blue chip high school athletes want to play for programs they know will get them seen on a larger scale. That's why the USC's, Ohio States, Michigans. LSU's and Oregons will always recruit the best talent. Kelly was able to employ many of the best high school athletes year after year and it translated into dynamic teams. But he never delivered a National Championship in the end. He may have success in the NFL or he may just be another Spurrier, only time will tell. I'm just saying he will never have the kind of success in the NFL that he had in college.
and in most cases the players are getting payed MORE than the coach!!!!
Like I said from pee wees to pros the same principles apply. Kelly is right. Its starts with the players and the talent. The odds of winning go up as the level of talent goes up. Its that simple. Thats assuming the playing field is level. Do the Eagles have talent? Some. Do they need more? Yes. The main thing is that the talent is harnessed and team oriented. The front office and coach failed miserably inapplying the talent they had on the team in 2012. Kelly gives them a new opportunity. He must find a combination of the talent he has and the future talent that comes on board to blend it in his vision. If he can sell his team on his vision he can be as successful as any coach in the league. However, if his vision is stifled , tinkered with by Lurie and Roseman and his hands are tied , the players wont by into his vision and he will fail. The whole organization must have a leader and right now the ball is in Chips court. lets hope he acts on his own ideas and doesnt become a yes man.
will he be successful in the NFL?? chances are ?? NO
I almost look at it as playing the lottery.
a little luck here a little luck there....the right coaches, the right players...but its going to take time....
yea sure his first year?? the super bowl???? NO I dont think so tim....
I can't say as I was thrilled with the hire but Laurie does do his HW when making decisions with HCs. I personally would have liked a defensive minded head coach but that didn't happen. Picking a new HC is a lot like drafting a player, there are no way to tell that they will be able to make the leap from college to the pros or coordinator to HC. No one thought that a special teams coach could be a HC but that's been proven wrong. Only time will tell. I just hope that Kelly makes hires guys that will get our D back to being feared again. high powered offense is nice and fun to watch, but D is what wins championships.
