People in Lexington love Ramsey's. Whether it's the fried chicken, the green beans, catfish, cornbread or pies, you would be hard pressed to find someone who would say any disparaging comments about their food.
Well here's a few.
Let's start off with some info: Ramsey's Diner has four locations, most notably in downtown Lexington on East High Street. The tiny dining room gives it that down-home-country feeling, simple dishes that allows one to reminisce about simpler times when they were children, when mom would cook all their favorites.
However as adults we don't forget the terrible meals or service. Sadly I've experienced both multiple times at several Ramsey's locations. In fact before I started this blog I swore off ever going to Ramsey's again.
I don't take lightly the task of giving an establishment a bad review. I don't think so highly of myself where I believe that my review will make or break a restaurant, but I always hold out hope that there's a chance I just visited a place at the wrong time. It happens; no one place is 100% on their game all the time. Waiters can have rough days, cooks can get bad produce or get overworked, and there can be one of those days where everything collapses. No restaurant should be judged off of one visit, but sadly that's the way it works the majority of the time.
That being said, I've been to Ramsey's no less than five times and had a decent meal once. Once. Out of five times. I've tried the fried chicken twice, since I was told it's the best in the city. I had their breakfast once, since it's supposedly flavorful. I even had their "famous" meatloaf, since it's…well, famous. Yet the only decent meal I've had been when I ordered the spicy catfish, and even that occasion was nearly ruined.
The breakfast didn't really taste like anything. Their pancakes are made in front of you at the end of the bar (This was a Sunday; they may do it differently during the week), but they just tasted like air. Very bland. I appreciate that you're giving me a lot of food, but that doesn't mean I don't expect any taste. The meatloaf was spongy, and except for the sauce it wasn't worth $10. The fried chicken tasted like it was the cook's first time working with oil, and was – yet again – bland.
The visit where I ordered the catfish was about two weeks ago. Our waitress was prompt with taking our orders and getting our drinks. Thankfully the service was not a problem.
Now it looks a little overcooked but it was actually cooked well, not overdone at all. It was actually very delicious. Not too fishy (which is surprising since catfish is normally very fishy), with just the right amount of spice and complimented by the hush puppies. Every part of the meal, including the mac & cheese, was worth the price: about $9 for a lunch portion. This was also during "Corn Daze" so they were offering local corn prepared in various ways, including fried corn, which is what I ordered. Fried corn consists of yellow and white corn (as Kentuckians love white corn), bacon and normally some peppers, however there wasn't any in this dish. I finally got a good meal! Maybe I was wrong about Ramsey's all along. I thought Ramsey's had turned it around.
This last time I ordered the fried chicken, because it's one of the dishes Ramsey's is known for, plus my first foray into Ramsey's – and tasting of their chicken – was so horrendous I was certain it must have just been that one night. There was no way the chicken could be that bad twice. Well…
This. Was. Awful.
Kat and I visited Ramsey's on Tates Creek around four on a Monday. Now everything in that sentence should tell you when we had in store for us when we walked in. Monday's and Sunday's are normally the B/C crew at restaurants. At 4pm on a weekday, the service is in limbo as the restaurant moves from lunch to dinner staff. Also the 4pm meal means it's the dinner cook's prep time, meaning we're getting what's left over from lunch. That time slot is normally reserved for the old ladies and the random straggler, so you're not getting the restaurant's best.
That being said, this was one of the worst meals I've ever had in Lexington, and I've eaten sandwiches at 3am from food trucks on Versailles. It was like they knew I knew I was expecting the worst, and they gave it to me in spades. Kat's chicken dumplings were luke warm and tasted old. My chicken, while hot, was too sweet and not worth eating. I had to drown it in ketchup to make it edible. Both the mac & cheese and fries tasted gritty and cold. I realize you're keeping this stuff in a freezer, but can you at least attempt to make it taste good? It's mac & cheese, guys: I shouldn't be this angry at the fact that the mac & cheese wasn't up to my supposed standards for old pasta and cheese sauce. The fries were your normal Ore-Ida fries that are just bland. I didn't even attempt the cornbread as it's always so dry and hard, and could easily be filed down into a shiv if need be.
Since I had more than enough room for dessert, we decided to order a slice of the Raspberry pie.
Their pies are from "Missy's Pies", which may or may not be own and operated by the same people as their logos look similar and the two are located right next to one another downtown. The top was all whipped cream, with swirls of chocolate and raspberry sauce. On the bottom was raspberry filling and a chocolate graham cracker crust. My only complaint was that there was WAY too much whipped cream, but other than that it was pretty good. I don't believe that one slice is worth $4.50, but if they can get people to pay them for it, good for them.
All in all, I can't recommend Ramsey's. In fact I recommend you avoid it. Unless you're starving and really need large portions of breakfast food while not caring at all about the taste, just go enjoy an evening or afternoon at one of Lexington's better establishments.

1. ICC and the European Union : The ERRIS Project
The Indian Chamber of Commerce is currently executing a project awarded under the European Union- India Economic Cross Cultural Programme (ECCP) in 2003.
The grant amount for the project is 4,00,000 Euros The project envisages the setting up of a management information system called the Environmental Risk Reporting and Information System (ERRIS) at the industrial townships of Haldia and Durgapur in West Bengal, India and the supporting framework to enable proper functioning of the system. The ERRIS would disseminate industry environmental risk related information to public at large and provide vital assistance to responders to acquire swift control of a contingency situation, should it so arise. On the whole, the project would endeavour to build a transparent framework for risk management by urging corporate bodies / industries to proactively share information with various stakeholders thereby advancing the cause of responsible corporate citizenship in partnership with other social actors.
ERRIS would help in achieving two goals:
First, precise information on hazardous substances used / produced by industries would help in preventing accidents.
Second, since time is the essence of responding to environmental disasters, the ERRIS would provide critical information to emergency services and administration, thereby enabling them to take effective remedial measures
The two European partners in this project are Institute for Protection and Safety of Citizen, Italy and International Institute of Geo-spatial Science and Earth Observation, Netherlands.

2. ICC & the Department of Development of North Eastern Region
The ICC in collaboration with the Department of Development of North-Eastern Region organizes an annual business summit in important metros of India to promote and generate investor interest in this resource-rich region. The first North East Business Summit (NEBS) was held in Mumbai on July 19-20, 2002. The second summit was held in New Delhi in January 2004.
3. ICC & the West Bengal Pollution Control Board
Every year, the Indian Chamber of Commerce and the West Bengal Pollution Control Board come together to present the Environmental Excellence Award. This award recognizes the commendable efforts shown by the industries of the state to protect and preserve the environment through proactive environmental management practices during the year.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United States Asia Environment Partnership (USAEP) stepped in to join hands with the ICC Environment Management Centre.

ATLANTA - SEPTEMBER 20: John Abraham #55 of the Atlanta Falcons enters the field to face the Carolina Panthers at Georgia Dome on September 20, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- During the Atlanta Falcons' three days of practice this week, defensive end John Abraham, the teams leader in sacks, increased his workload each day after re-injuring his ankle in the divisional round. Nonetheless, the club announced his status as "questionable" for Sundays NFC title game against the 49ers. Players who are listed as questionable are supposed to have a 50 percent chance of playing. However, an analysis published by Deadspin on Thursday, in conjunction with Pro Football Talk, indicated that when the Falcons listed a player as questionable this season, he had roughly a 75 percent chance of playing that week. Abraham was not present during the team's open locker room session on Friday. However, he provided the following statement through a team spokesman: "I feel good -- my workload was ramped up every day as the week progressed. Everyone is hurt at this time of year, but this is the NFC Championship Game, so we all have to go." Abraham p...

People react to stress in different ways. Some people eat an entire tray of Christmas cookies before they're even cool, some start punching hanging bags filled with buckwheat and others toddle down to the closest dark and noisy hall where they exhibit involuntary hip-jerking movements to songs that insist that hips always tell the truth. Indulge in something that will neither jerk your hips or give them a bit of extra padding and save up to 65% on a ladies beauty package or back and shoulder massage with a facial and manicure.
Though Christmas is a season of fun and family and general tom-foolery, the run-up can be one of life's most stressful times. Whether it's hauling bags of gifts that weigh more than a large Doberman, the search for a perfect gift that leads to excessive nail-biting or losing the tinsel and ripping your hair out looking for it, Christmas can be bad for your federation of limbs. Luckily, just one step into the tranquil and serene atmosphere of Louisa's will get you near jelly-legged with relaxation the moment you step in the door.
If you're going for the Ladies Beauty Package, start from the top and revamp your mutinous mane. Start your session with the staples of styling; a cut and blow-dry. Highly trained in the art of creating couture coifs with ease, leave your mane in the more than qualified hands of Louisa's stylists and go to your happy-place. With a few experienced flicks of the scissors, they can give you a trim, get rid of split ends or give you the asymmetrical bob you've been eyeing in the glossies. Add a new colour, whether it's black to make your eyes pop or fire-truck red, and a treatment to help repair, moisturise and condition your stressed strands and your newly-tamed tresses will be glossy and healthier than they say an apple a day could make you. Follow up with a few highlights to add some flair and I've got enough free time to chill at the beach lift, and you'll look like don't even know what stress is. Finish off the mane-makeover with some blow-drying and flat-ironing to ensure your new do looks its best before moving on to a brow and lip wax to ensure your ocular topiaries are as perfectly pruned as your hair and no one congratulates you on your Mo'vember moustache. A mini-manicure and pedicure tops off your treatment, leaving you with nails trimmed, clipped and buffed to the sort of shine seen on new sports cars. Meaning you can wear your flip-flops with pride and look fabulous while you're wrapping gifts.
Of course, if you've managed to get through the year without ripping your hair out or using your nails as chew toys, let the skilled hands of Louisa's expert therapists take you from fried and frazzled to free, fresh and fired up with a back and shoulder massage. Experts at mollifying even the most mutinous of marble-like muscles and returning them to their former, soft and useable state, they can take back and shoulder strains and have them melting away like butter on a hot sidewalk. A deep-cleanse facial will ensure your expression-maker is fully functional and looking it's best so you can demonstrate the appropriate surprise and excitement when you're exchanging gifts on Christmas morning.
Once you're buffed, polished and pampered, you'll hate to leave the sanctuary of the chic salon, but once you're relaxed to melting-point, you'll be far more ready to face the daily grind and season shopping crowds.Hair-raising Fact: Archaeologists in Nepal recently unearthed a 3000 year old bottle of shampoo. Analysis of the hair-tonic indicates that it contains mostly chips of charred wood, milk and a selection of herbs such as deadly-nightshade now known to be quite poisonous.

Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has now got a new Chair.
Professor Lorne Crerar was today appointed to the post by Scottish Ministers.
Lorne is a founding partner and Chairman of Scottish commercial law firm, Harper Macleod LLP, which has offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness.
He has held the part-time Chair of Banking Law at Glasgow University since 1997, was formerly Deputy Chairman of Scottish Enterprise Glasgow and was one of three Chairmen of the Housing Improvement Task Force which completed its work in 2002.
He was appointed as Convener of the Standards Commission in June 2003 and resigned from this office in September 2006 to take up the Chair of the 'Independent Review of Regulation, Audit, Inspection and Complaints Handling of Public Services in Scotland' – which reported in September 2007.
He was then Lorne a non-Executive Director of the Scottish Government Justice Programme Board until November 2010.
Cynical wits might say he was clearly there to be assigned to a new post.
Professor Crerar has been a member of the HIE Board since April 2008 and is also Chair of the HIE Risk and Assurance Committee.
Highlands and Islands Enterprise is the economic and community development agency for an area covering more than half of Scotland's land mass, stretching from Shetland to the southern tip of Argyll and including almost 100 inhabited islands.
In collaboration with other partners in the public sector, its aim is to support the delivery of the Scottish Government's stated purpose, 'to create a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth.'
It has had and still has its critics, with its focus often seen to be aimed more at the soft side of its loose brief rather than demonstrating a hard edged business-savvy push for muscular economic development in a place that badly needs just that.
There is a real problem with public sector enterprise agencies in general in the lack of high level and deep rooted first hand experience of business management amongst staffing. To date, HIE has survived a couple of threats to its existence.
However, on the appointment of its new Chair, Cabinet Secretary for Finance Employment and Sustainable Growth John Swinney says: 'Professor Crerar has a clear vision for the economic success of the Highlands and Islands. He has significant private sector experience, a proven track record in bringing about significant change and is keen to work closely with business and other parts of the public sector to boost the economy.
'As an existing board member of HIE, Professor Crerar, can also provide continuity in taking forward the Government Economic Strategy. I wish Lorne every success in his new role.'
The appointment is for a three years period, running from 20th February 2012 to 28th February 2015. It is part-time – one and a half days a week – and is paid at £38,721 pounds per annum for that time commitment.
Professor Crerar does not hold any other Ministerial public appointments and has not declared any political activity.
A Chair is not the engine of change in any case but Professor Crerar's background, before he turned his attention to quangoing, clearly has much to offer.

One Direction's management reportedly believes that Louis Tomlinson is better on stage when his girlfriend Eleanor Calder is backstage supporting him. 1D's management has asked that all of the guys' girlfriends join them on tour as much as they can to help give the guys a better image after the video surfaced of Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson smoking an illegal substance.
So far Liam Payne and Sophia Smith have gotten back together and have been spotted holding hands before the 1D shows. Plus, Zayn Malik's fiance Perrie Edwards is trying to get to as many shows as her Little Mix schedule will allow!
Also, 1D's management has reportedly hired Eleanor Calder to "babysit" Louis throughout the entire tour as they believe he is better off with her there. A source revealed about Eleanor joining the 1D tour:
There will be sighs of relief all round at this news. Eleanor is a great influence on Louis, he's always just so much happier when she's around. They are joined at the hip whenever she comes on tour.
Do YOU think the controversial 1D video that surfaced hurt One Direction's image? Take our poll!

They sure seemed to make a spectacle of it didn't they? Even brining along the owner for the ride. Many have speculated the move was to drive up interest for Smith so teams would be willing to trade up to get him. Well that makes little sense that teams would be willing to trade with the Eagles for a guy they are supposedly interested in. Maybe the Eagles are trying to throw a smoke screen around a player they are truly interested in and they want to divert attention from their guy. Considering the fact only three other teams pick ahead of them that also seems like a silly idea. The only people they would be fooling are themselves. That leaves only one likely choice. The Eagles have some interest in Geno Smith. ["Obviously, he's an impressive guy," Roseman said Wednesday....] So the Eagles consider Smith impressive. That doesn't seem like a comment one would make if he were just trying to drum up interest for a player he has no intentions of drafting. Considering some of the choices made so far by Howie Roseman should anyone feel surprised if the Eagles actually have interest in Smith? Who is the Eagles great quarterback they have in the fold already? At this point is there anyone who can say Mike Vick is that guy? Chip Kelly still doesn't seem to be settled on any quarterback still as he stated [ ""We're going to look at anybody and everybody to see if we can win games," Kelly said. "Does that mean we're going to draft a quarterback in the draft? I don't know."] This statement is a little troubling since it seems Kelly may be willing to take a risk with the 4th pick in the draft ( although I don't think he's making that call anyway) on a guy who he may not think he can win with. If nothing else the Eagles have made their choice of a pick even more cloudy than it was before. The Eagles appear to be playing poker, but it seems they are only playing with themselves. The only truth that can be gathered is Chip Kelly hasn't ruled out any of his quarterbacks so far, and that he's willing to add a few more in order to find his guy. Considering his current options at the position that may be the best news of all.
26 Comments:
They are most likely doing a bit of everything... doing all their homework while keeping everyone speculating
My guess is that they're searching for a QB of the future. While everybody and his brother is shaking his head at QB's in this Draft class, Jeff Lurie doesn't pay his staff to sit around and go by what Mike Mayock says.
So they have to do their due diligence.
I for one am glad they did. If Lurie likes what he sees he should instruct his guys to grab him. After all, it's not like Lurie has no experience with this, right. If he feels that he sees greatness, we should respect that.
On the other hand if he doesn't feel the presence of greatness we should respect that too.
I think picking a QB should be more about the owner anyway. That guy will be THE FACE of the franchise. It was smart for Lurie to be there.
If they believe he is the guy then they should make the choice. I am not sure if he's the guy, but I do recall earlier this year everyone had the guy the number one pick in the draft. Now suddenly he's a middle first pick. Seems a little strange for a kid who doesn't have a lot of off the field issues and health problems to drop so far. Right now people say he's a more polished passer than McNabb out of college. Not saying he's the next McNabb, but the bottom line is we need a quarterback, and he's the best one available.
Even if they think he's their guy they can't come out and say it no one give away their draft strategy. Not even the colts last year when everyone knew who they were picking. Teams are gonna scout everyone esp teams with top picks. Its just business as usual.
It's true and I am not really expecting them to say he's their guy. I do believe they have interest in him. I just am not sure how much. 8 free agent signings sure is a big number even if they are second and third tier free agents. It seems like they have an isolated plan for the draft. I just heard that Geno had an outstanding Pro Day and he missed only two of his scripted passes.
i think there is a strong chance we draft him. i dont want them to but there is a strong chance we do. it seems they r trying to fill all of the needs via free agency so getting the qb of the future in the first wouldnt shock me. if anyone in the top ten is going to get something out of smith i think it will be kelly or andy. andy sure isnt gonna take him so smith better be hoping we do.
It looks like our focus is on improving the defense. I bet we get Milliner or Jarvis Jones, and I'll be stoked with either.
I'll be pissed with either jones n his neck problems milliner n his average ability plus high price tag at a position we got rid of a guy being paid about that much. I rather have geno than them. If they go defense we still need an end for the 3-4 so star is a great fit plus a better player his heart condition bs cleared up I think so no worries about that. The fact no ollineman was brought in makes me believe they r happy with getting whatever tackle falls to them or warmack. The biggest questions we have now is do we have room for all of our 4-3 DEs? Barwin makes me think the pass rusher lb spot is taken. If we do go to a 4-3 under, which I doubt, we could still use them but I think we r looking at trades n cuts for Cole n crew.
Cutting or trading Cole leaves the Eagles with a pretty big cap hit this year...I think they are stuck with him for a year or two.
That's not necessarily a bad thing he might not have the coverage skills you'd like as a 3-4 OLB but he is still a good pass rusher. Could be a Demarcus Ware type player for us.
and dawk whats wrong with Milliner's ability... he's wowed everyone and answered all the critics he's the real deal
If the Eagles feel that Smith is their QB of the future they need to take him with the 4th pick. It's as simple as that. All these QB signings and the Eagles taking everyone down to for a personal workout with Geno Smith shows that they are far from settled at QB and Chip Kelly getting his franchise QB in his first year would be a good thing.
bnugent: Milliner is the real deal from what I have heard...the only questionmark I have seen was his speed and he answered with his 40 time. I'm not overly thrilled of the thought of Cole as a 3-4 OLBer. He may need to cover from time to time and he didn't wow anyone when he covered in McDermott's system. He also struggled last year big time. We'll see what happens.
20dawk: I'm not sure what you mean by paying Milliner Asomugha type money...the rookie contracts aren't nearly as big as they used to be...Milliner won't get paid nearly as much in his rookie deal.
GTD the milliner comment was directed at dawk20. I'm glad to hear you and I are on the same page as him. I've wanted the eagles to draft him since before the combine. after it i said he should be their pick without a doubt. Him with these two FA signings we'd be set at CB. But I could see the team going after Geno Smith or and O-linemen depending on how the draft shakes out. As for Cole yea his coverage lacks something to be desired but so does Aldon Smith's and Ware's but they are impact guys in the pass rush.
I know the comment was directed at 20dawk, bnugent. Just adding my two cents. I like Milliner a lot but would also love Fisher. I also wouldn't mind the Eagles drafting Smith if they decide he is their guy. The Eagles would have their franchise guy for Kelly and it would mean that Vick is done barring a Smith injury. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
My only hesitation is that no one thinks that he is worth that high of a pick so if they do take him at 4 and pass on a guy like Milliner then Chip Kelly is gonna look like an idiot if Geno flops and Milliner lives up to what everyone is saying about him. I'd rather take the safe solid player rather then overreaching. I could eat these words though come January. Smith might also fall if the Bills and Cards pass then the Eagles might be able to trade up and make a play for him in the mid to late first round.
I get your concerns and I do share them but I'll put my faith in what the Eagles choose to do...what choice do I have honestly? Any player the Eagles choose COULD end up being a bust or maybe just not top 5 worthy including Milliner (he seems like a stud but you just never really know). Smith not being a bonafide top pick could be a good thing for the Eagles since it would mean that 3 teams who could use a franchise QB decided not to draft him if the Eagles get him at 4. Who knows, maybe Bradley decides he fits what he wants to do and the Jaguars draft him, maybe the Raiders fall in love with him and take a shot...he may not even be there at 4 and the Eagles might not get the chance to draft him at 4 and get their franchise QB or fail miserably. If the Eagles think he can be their franchise QB they need to draft him at 4 if he is still there. If they didn't like what they saw at his workout then it still helps because if he falls to 4 and the Cards or the Bills do like him at 7 or 8 then they may be calling the Eagles and that should garner them at least another 2nd round pick. Of course it all depends on how the draft falls and both teams could just cut out the middle man and trade higher for Smith if they want him. It will be interesting to see how everything works out.
I think milliner is a solid guy that's all he's got pro bowl potential written all over him and the CB (like QB) is a highly sought after position.
I'll be thrilled with Milliner or Fisher (and moving Herremans back to guard). I wouldn't have minded Jordan if the Eagles would have drafted him but don't feel it's a need anymore since the Eagles signed Barwin. I would rather they see if Graham can make the transition before using a first round pick on a OLBer. Again, if they choose to get their franchise guy in Geno Smith, I'm fine with that. I would prefer Milliner or Fisher and Manuel in the 2nd but I'm not making the picks and there is no guarantee that Manuel is there in the 2nd. I also don't pretend that I'm a scout and won't guarantee that Manuel will be better. I don't freakin' know.
I seriously doubt Cole will ever have to cover as an OLGA. On fact I think the Eagles would move him around and try to find ways to just send him at the QB. With all of the additions And the fact they are so versatile, I believe they will use both 3-4 and 4-3 fronts. Don't be surprised to see a lot of rotation out of the front seven players next season. Cole may end up being a pass rush specialist.
You may be right Eazy but we have no idea what Kelly and Davis are thinking. Always stunned me that McDermott would drop Cole back and take him away from what he did best. Also surprised both you and I that Kelly wanted to see what Vick brings when he had two plus years of video to show him...we just don't know what to expect.
I understand keeping Vick to a point. First Kelly is making Vick earn his job and prove that it was the coaches fault and not his. he also thinks maybe Vick (a hungrier Vick) can possibly run hus offense. at least he is willing to give him a chance to. Chip Kelly may have film, but he doesn't have our bias, and I'm sure he can obviously see how Andy Reid worked so hard at setting his own players up for failure. He poorly used McCoy, Jackson, Celek, his inexperienced line, and Vick. He completely disrespected his defense by making an offensive line coach the main guy. True we don't know what Chip and his coaches have planned, but I have to believe he will use his guys much better than Andy Reid did. I'm sure he looked at the tape and said to himself if this guy has been a head coach in the NFL since 1999, I'm a shoe in for victory here.
Vick is s bridge, nothing more. If Kelly sees him as anything other than that and isn't planning accordingly, I'm worried about this offense.
I get where you're coming from. We know what Vick brings and it's nothing more than lies, bad play, finger pointing, and broken promises. Still Chip has to see it for himself. If he were as smart as people make him out to be he won't force the Vick thing. I'm taking him at his word. Mike Vick is in competition for the quarterback position. May the best man of this mediocre bunch win.
I saw your discussion with flip over the QBs. I don't get why he is puzzled over the quantity of QBs on the roster, especially in Kelly's first year. Nothing is set in stone with this bunch obviously. Kelly probably has no idea who will be #1, #2 or #3. It's possible Vick, Foles and Edwards could all be gone next year...may as well see if Dixon, Kinne and possibly a rookie can run HIS system better than who's already here or at the very least if they have more upside. It's quite possible that the 6th QB (if there is one) will be looked at as the future.
I completely agree with you. Nothing is set in stone here. The reason why he doesn't understand I believe is because 1 the guy swears he knows more than everyone else about football and 2 he is looking at this with his bias of thinking Vick is still a great quarterback if Vick ever was that. I find it comical how people think that there is some untapped potential in Vick. This will be Vick's forth (active)head coach. I mean are people still dumb enough to think that A coach is capable of getting anything else out of Vick? I remember Marty calling Vick the next Steve Young. Boy did Vick fall woefully short of those expectations. That's why people should get a clue and realize that Vick isn't garenteed anything and he shouldn't be since he hasn't earned it. In fact no one on the roster right now should feel like their job is safe. 4-12 teams don't have irreplaceable players.
Riddle me this. If Geno really is worthy of the #4 pick, well then why was the Heisman trophy given to a freshman? Don't get my wrong the Heisman is no measuring stick, but if I'm taking a QB at #4, he better be a once in a generation talent. I will be absolutely furious if they take Geno.
So then why pick anyone in the draft if they didn't win the Heisman? LOL Last year the Heisman trophy winner wasn't picked first. Tim Tebow is a Heisman Trophy Winner and so was Andre Ware. Don't let the Heisman be the reason for choosing the Quarterback or any player for that matter. Hopefully I soled that riddle for you.

The imminent arrival of compliance requirements to the virtual currency industry means that bitcoin businesses starting up in Canada should set up their business model and practices in ways that facilitate compliance with not only anti-money laundering laws, but privacy and consumer protection laws as well.
Bitcoin -- the virtual currency and global payment system -- is coming off a banner year. Recently an official from the Federal Department of Finance apparently indicated in an email to a media outlet that bitcoin is not legal tender in Canada. That was cause for David George-Cosh to suggest that Canada was "putting a question mark over the use of" bitcoin in Canada in a Wall Street Journal post. In my view, the comment from Finance does nothing to inhibit bitcoin's growth, acceptance, or adoption in Canada.

The weather outside may be frightful, but the action inside Southeastern Conference basketball venues everywhere should be delightful.
High temperatures have been below freezing in most areas of the country over the last couple days and it's been a challenge to spend very much time outdoors.
Even though the cold is trying to hold its grip on the south, it's nice to be able to find warmth in places like Mississippi State's Humphrey Coliseum.

Angle of Attack – Its Role in Optimizing Launch Parameters
by Tom Wishon
Anyone that pays attention to those golf professionals who never tire of discussing new techniques, methods and machinations to squeeze every ounce of power (and therefore distance) out of their drive has most likely heard about angle of attack. They have heard how almost every long-drive competitor hits the ball with a "positive angle of attack," and they have heard how positive angle of attack accents these player's extreme swing speeds to further maximize distance. But how does angle of attack help the average golfer and how can clubmakers incorporate that knowledge into fitting their customers?
Increasing launch angle to optimize carry distance can primarily be accomplished in two ways — through an increase in the clubhead's loft or from hitting the ball on the upswing. Hitting the ball on the upswing is also known as generating a positive angle of attack with the swing, and golfers that strike the ball on the upswing know firsthand how a positive angle of attack maximizes the already tremendous energy generated from extreme swing speeds.
When launch angle is increased by adding loft, the efficiency of the clubhead-to-ball energy transfer is not as great as when (or if) the same launch angle is created through a positive angle of attack. For example, if the TWGT Trajectory and Ball Flight Software indicates that a golfer would benefit from a higher launch angle as induced by more driver loft, that change should be made because more carry distance can be achieved. But the golfer who can increase their launch angle with a positive angle of attack will always optimize their launch parameters to a greater extent. However, clubmakers should not take this as an edict to immediately change a golfer's swing, unless the golfer wishes to experiment on their own. Achieving a more optimal launch angle through a change in loft produces better distance results for most golfers.
When the ball is hit on the upswing, the shot's launch angle is greater than the driver's measured loft because the head's loft is tilted upward by the swing. A golfer with a level or downward angle of attack always needs greater clubhead loft to achieve the same launch angle as a golfer with a positive angle of attack (See Illustration). When the same launch angle is generated with a lower loft angle on the clubhead, there is greater clubhead-to-ball energy transfer, resulting in more distance. This result occurs because the upswing, or positive angle of attack, has a significant effect on a physical phenomenon known as the force vector of the head.
The force vector is the direction of movement of the force generated by the clubhead's mass from the golfer's swing speed toward the ball and it is always perpendicular to the clubhead's loft. With a positive angle of attack, the force vector also travels in an upward direction to the ball. When a high launch angle is generated by a positive angle of attack using a lower-lofted driver head, the ball slides up the face less, thus creating less spin and losing less energy at impact because the force vector is perpendicular to that lower loft. Yet, the ball takes off at a higher launch angle and with a greater amount of velocity for any given swing speed because of the upward or positive angle of attack.
It is not uncommon for national long drive competitors to generate launch angles of 12 to 15 degrees with driver heads featuring real loft angles of five to six degrees. In these extreme cases, long-drive hitters are accomplishing a high launch angle-to-head loft ratio with changes in their swing, ball position and tee height which allow the driver to contact the ball on the upswing, well after it passes the low point in the swing arc. (While this is not a product of clubfitting, TWGT asked our in-house teaching professional, David March, to offer some tips in this month's E-TECHreport where clubmakers may advise golfers who are interested in maximizing their distance off the tee through swing modification.)
Clubmakers should also realize that most golfers will not have the physical
ability to make such swing changes. In those players, optimizing launch
parameters with the best increase in clubhead loft will always produce
positive results, particularly if the golfer has a swing speed under 100mph
and has been previously using a driver with traditional lofts between
9 and 10 degrees. Again, the TWGT Trajectory and Ball Flight Software
is the preferred fitting tool to advise golfers on how to best optimize
their launch parameters.
For example, if the golfer hits the 11-degree driver and has an average
launch angle of 13.5 degrees, their angle of attack is +4.0 degrees. If
the golfer hits the 11-degree driver and has an average launch angle of
7.5 degrees, their angle of attack is -2.0 degrees. The TWGT Trajectory
and Ball Flight Software is designed in its Manual Mode to accept input
for Angle of Attack, and with this, optimizing extremely accurate launch
parameters for the golfer.

Chelsea – Demba Ba
Whether it be Robert Lewandowski or Edinson Cavani, there seems to be no doubt that Jose Mourinho has his eye on purchasing a new striker as he begins his second stint in charge of the Stamford Bridge club.
Fernando Torres' troubles have been highlighted for some time and there have been reports that he could be moved on, but he showed his best form yet as a Chelsea player at the end of last season and you don't envisage Roman Abramovich giving up on his £50million man.
No, Demba Ba was brought in to lighten the goalscoring load in January but failed to really do so. It could be either Torres or Ba that pays for a big-name, big-money signing, but you feel that one of them will be shown the door and the Spaniard has greater pull.

BP's blog
Those that like the music they make. Those that want them to make music for them to like. Feel free to add your own!
On August 1, 2008, Novosibirsk was in the center of the path of a solar eclipse, with a duration of 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
Someone (I unfortunately don't remember your name, sorry!) wrote a blog yesterday that was only a few lines, sad and heartfelt, but so stunningly poetic that I came back to write it down-and it's disappeared. The lines were about wanting to have your life have weight in someone's hands, not run through their fingers like sand. So sad, so beautiful, so true-please post again.
At least you don't wake up with it running through your head, like, maybe, "Way Too Far"....
I had always thought it was odd that I liked this kind of music, since I assumed it was for young guys, and I am not a guy...and not young...and then on this site I see at least half the posts are from women, so what is the appeal? I stumbled on the music at a time of grief and loss, so I guess it resonated with that, and was a distraction as well.Or maybe just one of those intense interests...

Children's murals on pedestrian span were meant to welcome visitors on I-5, but years of graffiti have taken a toll
In 1994, a work of art debuted above Interstate 5, on a pedestrian bridge linking Chicano Park and Barrio Logan's Kearney Avenue. "El Portal de la Historia" was many things: Mural, expression of community pride, greeting to commuters.
Above all, it was a triumph of collaboration.
Three artists, Robin Brailsford, Ysela Chacon and Roberto Salas, spent six years hurdling bureaucratic and financial obstacles to create El Portal.
Two agencies, the National Endowment for the Arts and San Diego's public art program, split the mural's $40,000 cost.
Local students, coached by Brailsford and Chacon, painted the mural. The children's images spanned the top of the bridge, above a pebbled surface adorned with Salas' bold pre-Columbian pattern.
This communal enterprise even welcomed "artists" armed with spray paint. "The lower part is intended to take graffiti," Brailsford told a reporter in 1994, "to have a dialogue with it."
Color that dialogue over. Nearly 20 years after El Portal's dedication, graffiti drowns out the mural's message — and enrages Salvador Torres.
"This is a disaster, an abusive disaster," said Torres, 76, a community activist and artist who has painted and restored Chicano Park's celebrated murals for decades. "I have tremendous sympathy for our children, for our children's hearts. They cannot, in my estimation, be represented by this mess here."
If El Portal now offends the eye, it also assaults the nose. Pedestrians on the overpass must dodge piles of garbage and human waste. The students' art — every inch of it — is buried under chaotic swirls of aerosol paint. Salas' bright red-and-gray pattern is submerged beneath more dark splotches.
Once a bright representation of a neighborhood's aspirations, El Portal has become the arts equivalent of a sewage spill.
But who will clean up this mess? After initially denying responsibility, the California Department of Transportation has admitting to owning the bridge and mural, and pledged to restore this work of art.
"A schedule has not been determined," said Cathryne Bruce-Johnson, a Caltrans spokeswoman.
Grubby preliminaries
El Portal is the remnant of the ambitious "City Gates" project. In the late 1980s, San Diego announced that four works of art would be erected over freeways near the city's northern, southern, eastern and western boundaries, bidding motorists welcome and farewell.
This bold dream quickly encountered harsh financial realities. The four gates became two, then one. That lone survivor, South Gate, saw its budget drop from $150,000 to $100,000 to zero.
"We were told 'Congratulations, but we have bad news — you won, but the money is going to go to another project,' " Salas recalled. "There's honor in that, but not much work."
Some wondered why this honor hadn't gone to local painters. An independent jury had awarded the project to Brailsford, Chacon and Salas, rather than any of the artists who had created the celebrated murals already gracing Chicano Park.
"Roberto was from El Paso and I'm a white woman from Massachusetts," said Brailsford, who now lives in Dulzura. "But we won this contract legitimately."
Without funding, though, the contract meant little. Gail Goldman, the city's newly hired public art director, worked her sources until March 1990, when she landed a $20,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. One string was attached: these funds had to be matched. The city agreed to furnish the other $20,000.

Russian-American Alex Bogomolov has declared that he will play for the Russian national team in the Davis Cup. According to the tennis player, nothing can prevent him from joining the Russians."I can help the Russian team this winter, as I have never played for the American team in the Davis Cup,"
Bogomolov told the RIA Novosti news agency Tuesday.
Negotiations on Bogomolov's playing for Russia were held by his father Aleksandr and Russian Tennis Federation President Shamil Tarpishchev.
The 28 year old will be able to join the team in February during a first round match against Austria.
Bogomolov has yet to win an ATP title, but he is currently ranked 36th in the world and playing the best tennis of his career.

Family turns dad's notes into history
Last updated at 14:03, Friday, 07 February 2014
A Workington family's chance discovery of dozens of notebooks crammed with information about their father has led them to publish his memoirs.
Bill Ferris, of High Street, died in 2011 aged 80. A miner who grew up on the town's Marsh and Quay, he was the last manager of the town's Solway Colliery.
After he died, his children Danny, Alan and Barbara found the notebooks in a drawer in his bedroom.
Danny, 63, of Chaucer Road, said: "When we found the diaries we were quite surprised. He had mentioned to me that he may write something in the past but he never mentioned it again, so we just assumed he never went ahead with it."
Bill had begun writing in 1988 and finished in 2000.
His children decided to turn his work into a book – The Bill Ferris Memoirs – to share his experiences.
Alan, 61, of Wesley Court, who worked alongside his dad as a mining surveyor in the 1970s, said: "It's fascinating to see how much detail he has gone into and the things he has remembered such as the names of people he started school with all those years ago and all of his exam results right back to his primary school years.
"Some of the stuff most of us wouldn't remember. I know I certainly don't."
Bill's ambition to be manager of the Solway Colliery started during his first two weeks at the pit in 1946. At 15 he was asked to work a 500-yard tunnel under the Solway Firth with trainer Tom Graham.
He was to spend 26 years at the colliery, becoming its manager by 1965, with a starting salary of £1,900.
The pit, near Mossbay Road, closed in 1973.
Bill went on to work as the manager of a colliery in Lancashire, then took up a position as area salvaging manager in Stoke and later became a consultant for British Coal.
His memoirs look back at the miners' strikes of 1926, 1970 and 1984, the closure of 32 pits in 1992 and privatisation in 1995.
Bill's great-grandparents were Irish immigrants who fled the aftermath of the potato famine in 1871 and settled at Henry Street on the quay. Industry was booming at the time of their arrival, with four iron companies, five steel companies and two blast furnaces in West Cumbria.
By 1881 there were 1,790 Irish immigrants living in Workington.
In Bill's early life the industrial depression hit the area and saw 40.5 per cent of men unemployed by 1934.
His family lived a frugal existence at Henry Street with no running water or central heating.
Bill would regularly go hawking around the doors with strings of cod which had been caught on his grandmother's fishing boat which his father fished on.
He spent 26 years on the street, qualifying him for the bragging rights of a Quay lad, which became a badge he wore with pride.
Barbara Watson, 58, of Milburn Croft, Seaton, said: "He started at the bottom and worked his way up.
"He was a very private person and didn't really talk much about his days down the pits and the past so we were really shocked by the sheer scale of the notebooks. They went back at least 50 or 60 years."
The book touches on his education at Lawrence Street School and the County Technical and Secondary School, outings to the Hippodrome cinema on Hagg Hill, and his life with wife Kathleen Glover and his children.
Anyone who would like a free copy of the book should email Alan at email@example.com

Since the inception of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, it was only the last edition in Mexico that Nigeria's Golden Eaglets did not attend. The country's cadet team under Coach Monday Odigie failed to qualify after losing home and away to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The dismal performance cost the coach and his assistants their job.
Nigeria's Golden Eaglets is the most successful in the championship with six appearances in the finals, winning three times and emerging runners up three times. The next nation to Nigeria is Brazil with three titles and two runners up positions.
Apart from China 19985, Nigeria was champion in 1993 in Japan and 2007 in Korea Republic. The country emerged runner up at Canada 1987, Trindad and Tobago 2001 and in 2009 when the country hosted the championship.
Going by the impressive record of the national U-17 team in the youth championship, it was a huge disappointment for football lovers in the country when the Odigie led team could not qualify for the 2011 edition. It was expected that having worked with John Obuh who took the team to the finals in 2009 on home soil, he would be able to build on that experience to raise a formidable team but that was not to be.
Consequently, Coach Manu Garba who was part of the victorious 2007 Golden Eaglets of late Yemi Tella was quickly appointed to build a crack U-17 team. After initial challenges which bothered on the age of players invited to camp and whether or not to invite foreign based players, Garba and his assistants, Emmanuel Amunike and Nduka Ugbade, all former internationals settled down to work.
After intensive screening and training, the team began to play some tune-up matches which culminated into the international friendly matches against the Junior Wasps of Rwanda which the team won convincingly at the U.J Esuene stadium Calabar.
Buoyed by the results of the friendly matches against Rwanda, the team travelled to Niger Republic for the first leg of the 2013 Africa U-17 Championship and recorded a resounding victory. Eaglets defeated their hosts the Junior Menas of Niger 4-1 in Niamey.
Since the team's return to its camp in Calabar, the players and their coaches have been exhilarating, such that their Princeville hotel camp in parliamentary village Calabar has become beehive of activities.
When Shot! visited the camp, the players were seen in their relaxed mood just as some of the team's officials bubbled with enthusiasm.
Apart from having technical edge over their rivals, the Junior Menas, who are coming for the return leg today in Calabar, the Nigerian camp is alive because of the immense support coming from some governors in the South-South part of the country.
Governor Liyel Imoke who has been their host for several months now may not have doled out huge sums of money as his financial support but he has given them sufficient moral and political support.
The Head coach of the team, Manu Garba (MFR) has confirmed that Imoke has visited the team through his amiable sports commissioner, Patrick Ugbe to bolster the spirit of the team ahead of today's match.
The coach is confident about the chances of his team repeating the feat it achieved in Niamey.
He said the players are undergoing serious training sessions and are in a better frame of mind saying Canaan city has provided his team appropriate environment for enough concentration.
Not willing to rest on their oars, the coach also down played the team's convincing first leg 4-1 win over Niger saying football is not mathematics hence all hands must be on deck for the second leg match.
"We are not celebrating anything yet because we have not won anything actually. We have not qualified for the second stage of the competition. After the second leg game, if the result favours us, we can begin to talk about our next opponent. Our focus now is the second leg game.
"Though we are not under-rating them or any other team but our boys are ready to perform even better this time around", he said.
Meanwhile, the U-17 players who want to be called the 'New Nigerian Golden Eaglets' seem to be determined to write their names in gold in the history of Nigerian football.
Their performances during their practice sessions with amateur and other academicals in Calabar as well as the international matches played so far have proven that they can hold their own against any African team of their grade.
Wilfred Ndidi, the Vice-Captain and towering defender said, "We have been training for months now and we are determined to write ourselves into the history books.
"People in Calabar that have seen us play call us New Nigeria Golden Eaglets and we like it. We have adopted the name too and we call ourselves the New Nigeria Golden Eaglets because this is a team with a different attitude and orientation."
Meanwhile, the duo of Alhassan Ibrahim and Kelechi Iheanacho who have been consistent scorers in most of their matches, said they are ready to show case their talents against the Junior Menas, as they expressed hope that the outcome would again be something that would gladden the hearts of Nigerians.
Ibrahim said: "It is true that I have scored some goals for the team but they are not my most important goals".
Iheanacho has promised to further the cause of the team. The former U-15 striker's appetite for scoring goals is second to none in the team.
"It is a privilege to be here to play for the National Under-17 team and since I'm here, I'll do my best. I'm ready to work hard for the team and I'm confident that I would be among the goal scorers for the team, come September 22 (today).

Carmack .plan UpdateJune 27th, 1999 by Marv
QuakeGod pointed out the latest John Carmack .plan update to me.Here is a snippet of it.
For the past couple years when talking to chip makers about new 3D features, 3D texture maps would always come up, and I would have to mutter something like: "I think it is a good thing, but I can't give you a really awesome example of using it. 3D Noise functions. Stuff like that."
I have the awesome example now: Lighting.
Through the entire development of Q3, I have been wanting to do dynamic lighting of the world differently. Many of the efficiencies gained by Q3's new map format result in larger and larger lightmaps while it reduces polygon count. That meant that even small dynamic lights may force a lot of work to generate new lighting textures.
He also has posted his worklog again which is, as usual, very interesting to read so I suggest you check it out.

Replying to: Warrany with custom rom by beezy
Re: Warrany with custom rom
I don't work for T-Mobile but my guess is you'll be fine. The custom rom didn't cause the display to fail. If there is ANY physical damage at all, even a scuff, this is the type of thing that will cause them to deny a claim when you put in a custom rom. Also, any software glitches would no longer be covered.

Last night, we stayed in downtown Philadelphia. Our hotel room had a great view of city hall, which is topped by a giant statue of William Penn, holding a proclamation about the city's commitment to fighting off bears or robots or something.
BUT! When you look at it the right way — like out our hotel window, for instance — it looks like he's wagging his wiener at New Jersey.
He was truly a great American.

Olympiacos moved to the summit of the Super League with a 3-0 win over nine-man Asteras Tripoli.
Marko Pantelic opened the scoring for the hosts after 36 minutes while Sebastian Bartolini's dismissal after an hour for a second bookable offence was a further blow to Asteras' hopes.
David Fuster hit Olympiacos' second just a minute later before a Sokratis Fitanidis own goal completed the scoring after 72 minutes.
Adrian Bastia became the second Asteras player to see red when he committed a second bookable offence a minute from time.
Olympiacos have now won three of their opening four games and lead the way by a point from second-placed Panathinaikos, who were 2-1 winners over Panionios.
Sotiris Ninis hit Panathinaikos' first goal after 44 minutes before Kostas Katsouranis made it 2-0 shortly after the hour mark.
Bennard Kumordzi pulled a goal back for the visitors in stoppage time while Ninis' night turned sour when he picked up a second yellow card at the death.
Atromitos picked up their first three points of the campaign with a 2-1 victory over winless Panseriakos, despite ending the game with nine men.
Henri Camara and Emanuel Perrone put the hosts firmly in charge of the match but the dismissal of Lucas Favalli for a second booking on the stroke of half-time gave hope to Panseriakos.
The rock-bottom visitors pulled a goal back through Georgios Georgiadis after 66 minutes but failed to find an equaliser against their under-strength opponents, who also lost Evangelos Nastos to a straight red card in injury time.

Not everyone has a good boss or management! In my experience, upper management often prefers to shoot the easy target like low/mid-level IT, rather than tackle the real issues.
Why I document everything and periodically offload the documentation.I have learned a long time ago to CYA.
That means nothing. what if that person is 1 step above your boss? things can always change.
Missed where I said on Page 2 that the only people I am interested in is keeping the directors/VPs happy? Anyone else I am not worried about. If I have a problem with an employee, I will talk to my boss and in turn he will talk to their boss and get it resolved. And I don't go out of my way to ###### anyone off.

Last night a couple students from UCD showed up and I mentioned the ACM programming contest.

I highly recommend the programming contest. It's a good way to challenge your coding skills.
I have often been humbled by it.

Jersey Shore
Jersey Shore Cast Reunites For a Great Cause — And Look Adorable! (PHOTOS)
The deadly and destructive "Frankenstorm" (aka Hurricane Sandy) devastated thousands of people back in October, taking lives and destroying homes in its wake. The storm affected a whopping total of 24 states (not to mention the devastation of countries including Haiti and the Bahamas), and the damage was particularly severe in New York and New Jersey, where countless homes and neighborhoods were destroyed beyond repair.
Even though it's nearly April, people are still working hard to rebuild their homes and lives after the tragedy, and in addition to the previous "Restore the Shore" benefit, MTV hosted the "Spring Fix" benefit concert at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey to help raise funds for United Way's hurricane relief efforts over the weekend. The concert was an all-day event in the spirit of giving back, attended by an array MTV stars, including some of our favorite guidos and guidettes!
On March 23, Snooki, JWOWW, Vinny, Sammi Sweetheart, Ronnie, Deena Nicole, and Roger Mathews reunited to thank 50 student volunteers who worked hard to rebuild local communities. Before the big day took place, Snooki even donned a mask gloves (and leopard print, of course), volunteering in a construction project with United Way. Go, Snooki!
Though we'll have to wait until April 1 to watch the full concert event on MTV, we've got some relief from our Jersey Shore withdrawal in the meantime, as castmates Instagrammed tons of pics from their special reunion!
"With the girls!" Sammi wrote as a caption for an awesome group shot with her, JWOWW, and Snooki, all of them looking gorgeous, wearing big floppy animal hats while hanging out at the theme park. She also posted a pic of just her and Deena, posing in front of the game booth where they'd snagged their hats. She also Instagrammed an awesome group shot of all the roomies together, including Roger, who wore a matching sweatshirt with his fiancée, JWOWW.
Snooki Instagrammed a pic of her and her fellow guidettes looking lovely, posing together for a cute group shot. "At #sixflags for #springfix," Snooki captioned the pic. "[Heart] my bitches." Aww, so good to see the girls together again. She also posted a pic a pic of her and Deena together — "With my meatball!," she wrote — wearing matching monkey caps and looking super beautiful.
We missed Pauly D, The Situation, and Vinny, but it was great to see most of the cast together again — and for a great cause, no less. You can check out all the pics in the gallery below, and then hit the comments to tell us what you think of the reunion!

this blog is all about what i would like to see at Extreme Rules.
1) Pre-Show - US Title - Kofi Kingston vs Fandango - It has been reported that Kingston is holding the title for fandango for when his fued with jericho is over but with Jericho with his band he wont be on very much, this should leave Fandango to go to work at champ. Winner = Fandango

UPDATE: Bobcats' coach Steve Clifford out Friday after spending night in hospital
Nov 8, 2013, 4:17 PM EDT
UPDATE 4:17 pm: Steve Clifford will sit out the Bobcats home game against the Knicks on Friday night, the team announced on Friday afternoon. Here is part of the team's official statement.
While at dinner last night, Bobcats Head Coach Steve Clifford suffered chest pains. He went to the hospital and was later admitted. After testing this morning, doctors concluded that a procedure was necessary to place two stents in his heart. He is resting comfortably and is expected to re-join the team soon.
A "stent procedure" means he had angioplasty to clear a blocked artery around his heart. In those cases a balloon is inserted into a nearly blocked artery and inflated to clear the blockage, then the stent — small mesh tube — stays in place to support the narrow or weak arteries.
What the weekend off for Clifford means means for the first time ever Patrick Ewing will be an NBA head coach — and his debut comes against the Knicks franchise where he was a legendary player.
The Bobcats say Clifford could well back with the team by Monday, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
11:06 am: Charlotte Bobcats rookie coach Steve Clifford — who has gotten his team off to a surprising 3-2 start to the season — checked himself into a Charlotte area hospital Thursday night because he didn't feel well, the team announced Friday morning.
He stayed overnight in the hospital and continues to undergo tests, according to the team.
His status to coach the Bobcats when they host the Knicks Friday night is undetermined. If he can't go it is likely assistant Patrick Ewing will be the head coach against the Knicks.
Of course, that's secondary to Clifford's health. We don't have any details so there is no way to guess if he'll be out for any length of time.
We wish him and the Bobcats the best. Hope this is nothing serious.

Hey Kurt,
In no way do I harbor illusions of you having insider access to the NBA, but with that being said, I have an interesting scenario for you.
if the Nets got thin at the point from injury or whatever reason, any chance we might see the first player/coach in a very long time?
Besides Kidd and Mark Jackson, which head coach do you think has the best one on one game Kurt?
- Kurt Helin - Nov 11, 2013 at 6:55 PM
The current CBA does not allow for player coaches, so no.

OAK CREEK (WITI) — For the first time since last Friday's landmark ruling on same-sex marriage in Wisconsin, we're hearing from Gov. Scott Walker.
Gov. Walker's first comments on the issue came at a groundbreaking in Oak Creek. But if you were looking for an earth-moving statement from the governor on the issue, this was the wrong place.
"Are you re-thinking you're position on gay marriage?" asked a reporter.
"No. I'm just not stating one at all," said Gov. Walker
Legal questions abound after the ruling. Instead of issuing an order to void the state ban, the judge asked the gay couples who brought the suit to offer opinions on what should happen next. That meant the attorney general did not automatically have the standing to file for a "stay" to prevent same-sex marriages. It's a situation pitting county clerks against the attorney general — and sending into legal limbo marriages that have already been performed.
In other states like Pennsylvania, the governor directed the attorney general to simply drop the appeals process.
"The difference here is that the attorney general I think is correct in the sense that we take an oath, and as part of that oath, we're obligated to uphold the constitution of the state. This isn't just a rule, this wasn't just a law, this is in the state's constitution as enacted by the voters of the state," said Gov. Walker.
"Do you think civil rights should be up for a vote?" asked FOX6's Mike Lowe.
"That's a question you should have asked people in 2006," said Gov. Walker.
"We don't have a time machine, we don't have a DeLorean," said Lowe.
"What I'm saying is that you guys are asking hypothetical questions. This will be decided through the court process," said Gov. Walker.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen says county clerks who have issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples could face charges for breaking the law.
The Assembly's top Democrat Peter Barca calls that "outrageous."

Much of the cost has to do with replacement parts. I sent my older GMT Master (1990's) in for service. It was running fine but it was 15 years old. I thought they would just take it apart, clean, lubricate, and calibrate it. For $650 bucks they put a new dial, new hands that glowed again and new bezel that was faded and shipped the old bezel, hands and dial back with the watch. They then polished out all the old scratches. When I got the watch back I was amazed. For $650 they basically sent me a new watch back. I was happy. I bought the new ceramic GMT Master a year or so ago but haven't worn it too much. I really like that watch. I also bought a Day Date with the super jubilee bracelet and that gets a lot of wrist time. Other than leather it's the most comfortable bracelet I've ever worn. The watch I wear most days and is my favorite right now is an IWC top Gun I picked up. I've been really happy with it. I love IWC and think they're actually as good or better quality than Rolex. I have an IWC spitfire too which is a cool watch. I want to get oe of the Mirimars but wonder if the green will fall out of my favor. I collect wrist watches and have a few Doxa, Ulysse Nardin, Fortis, a Navitimer and a collection of ships chronometers by Ulysse Nardin. Another brand I'm really fond of and they're tough as nails is Sinn. I have Sinn EZM 3, U1, U2 EZM 5, UX EZM 2 B. The best way to keep a collection in good shape is to keep them on winders. Don't get me started on complicated pocket watches.
