If you're anything like me, the same five holiday movies that run every year just aren't enough to quench that festive thirst so deeply embossed on your very soul. You need more than that. If you are like me, you deserve more than that. You are also not wearing any pants.
The general rule for holiday films is that they must at least take place around the season, right? And so, if we simply twist that logic to say that "takes place during the holidays = holiday movie", then there's a lot of fun to be had the next time mom and dad come caroling. Just go right ahead and pop in one of the following…
15. Eyes Wide Shut
This is probably the most festive film that involves orgies, right above Caligula. The very first event of the film is a Christmas party in which the host's sex-guest ends up ODing all over the place.
Sex, confession, prostitution, secret societies, HIV, and Christmas shopping with the kids are roughly the order of some of the highlights of this movie. Because that's what you get when you combine Stanley Kubrick with the holidays. It's either this or Vincent D'Onofrio blowing his brains out in a bathroom.
14. The Ghost and the Darkness
Man, cats are the worst. Mine keeps pissing in my clean clothes whenever I leave her alone. Every time I use the toilet she crawls through the laundry chute and stares at me like a gargoyle until I'm done. It's unnerving. I guess she's not eating me though, so that's a plus.
While this film takes place within nine months, we learn that the drawn out hunt is actually a holiday activity when Jesus impersonator Michael Douglas points out early in the last lap that it is December. Lion would make for an impressive holiday feast. Of course on the flip side of that, so would Val Kilmer. So really no matter what happens it's win-win.
13. Jaws: The Revenge
The Bahamas are a jarring place to celebrate the holidays/get eaten by a great white shark. You don't associate either of those things with the tropics, however the festive clashing of bright red against the vast blues resulting from both events would be a pretty festive sight.
I'm never going to understand the hate toward the Jaws sequels. There's even that unconfirmed Michael Caine quote, "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific."
Sure, they are terrible, but there are worse things for a movie to be, for example: sharkless. If you ask me, what we need is a fifth. Let's dive into the abyss with this one.
12. Batman Returns
The beauty behind a Tim Burton Gotham City is that even if you live in poverty, your apartment still looks awesome. Also – it is by far the easiest city for blue-collar crime; everyone who might care is too distracted by that week's spectacle. Just imagine trying to get a cop's attention for a case of shoplifting when there's a bird-guy riding a giant rubber ducky around the city and stealing babies.
I always imagined that in the Batman universe, Gotham is literally the only city having these issues – which makes it an embarrassment, but also an attraction. Like, there's some goth kid in Dupont Indiana who just can't wait to turn 18 because of this place.
11. Die Hard
Die Hard is the obligatory "Christmas but not Christmas" movie on these lists, and because of that I am required by movie-nerd law to include it here. I am, by no means, knocking the tradition, mind you. Don't get me wrong here – every December it's customary in my house to drop at least one German off of our roof to bring in the festivities, but I'm just starting to wonder if Die Hard Christmas is becoming too mainstream and commercialized, you know?
Maybe I'm becoming disillusioned by it all. Just the other day I swung from a fire hose and it didn't even manage to hold my weight! I'm even starting to wonder of John McClane ever existed in the first place! No… No he is real. I know that in my heart.
10. First Blood
You know, this entire film could have been avoided if these guys just opened up a little more. "Hey guys, could you not shave me? I kind of had a bad experience in Nam." Bam! Movie over.
Come to think of it, this is pretty much the issue with every action film. It's just a bunch of dudes who are bad at expressing their emotions shooting at another bunch of dudes who are bad at expressing their emotions – or in the case of Predator it's a camouflaged repressed hunter alien that probably is just trying to prove itself to its father or something. The point is, next time just talk it out.
9. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
It's hard to picture a world where Robert Downey Jr. isn't charming, but it did exist. It was called In Dreams and no one watched it. Coincidence? Hardly. No, what would be the point of watching this guy not sarcasm the pants off of everything in the cloud of his cigarette smoke? That would be like watching Hulk Hogan read.
Fun fact: The director of this film, Shane Black, wrote all of the Lethal Weapons, as well as Last Action Hero, and my personal favorite – The Last Boy Scout. How's that for epic? Oh, he also has only directed one other film, Iron Man 3. Fingers crossed for at least one shirtless electro-shock torture scene!
8. In Bruges
Lighting-wise, this movie is festive as shit. Seriously, it's so warm and cozy, like a one hundred minute long tourism video for the city. If it weren't for all the fuzzy gougers bucketing down on you and spraying up blood every which way it would be vacation Eden. Then again, what's Christmas without blood and pain? It is, after all, celebrating a day of birth – and that stuff is disgusting.
Maybe I'm naïve, but Bruges is how I imagine every town in Belgium looks like. Cobblestones and big pointy churches, outdoor cafes and warm pubs… ridiculous amounts of cocaine. It's a romantic whimsy, I know, but it keeps me warmhearted to dream.
7. Lethal Weapon
Celebrating the holidays in Los Angeles is like camping out in your backyard as a kid. It's adorable to watch the effort but is stunted by artificiality. If you haven't cried next to a sludge-buried car tire, then you aren't doing the holidays right. End of discussion. Maybe this is why the cops are all gritty and suicidal over there, since they don't have actual problems like goddamn invisible road ice they end up making up their own issues.
It's just hard to feel bad for Mel Gibson as he cries himself to sleep half naked in a breezy beachside trailer when I'm sitting here trying to figure out if you can microwave dishtowels for warmth.
6. 12 Monkeys
As far as time travel holiday stories go, it's pretty much just this and A Christmas Carol, right? Very different stories, however both benefit if you put Bruce Willis in them (hint hint, Hollywood). I like how it's a good idea to send prisoners back in time. Next they should start using them as doctors.
You know that Terry Gilliam's next film is coming up? It's about a computer hacker played by Christoph Waltz who is trying to scientifically solve the meaning of humanity in a dystopian future world with robotic sex-workers and cyber-suits that allow for the virtual inward journey of the soul. So just your standard Hollywood film. No need to get excited or anything.
5. Prometheus
If it meant seeing Idris Elba act holiday-gitty I'd totally take a snake to the face. Wait, that came out wrong. The point is all the horrific death in this film is pretty much equaled out by this one moment of holiday joy, even if it isn't particularly cheery. Christmas in space sounds terrible – almost as bad as celebrating it in L.A. – but you make the most of what you got, and this dude's Charlie Brown tree is a shining example of that.
I wonder if at any point when that guys face was burning off it occurred to him that this is how he is bringing in the New Year. It's gotta be a weird realization as you're grappling down the side of alien wreckage toting a psychotic robot head that everyone back home is soaking up champagne while tossing confetti around like a bunch of drunk Rip Taylors at that very same moment. I honestly don't know which situation is more flattering.
4. The Night Of The Hunter
Leaning… Leaning… safe and secure from all alarms…
Leaning… Leaning… leaning on the everlasting arms…
Forget caroling, I just like to go out at night and sit on people fences singing this.
Technically this film spans a few seasons, but it ends on a Christmas miracle, as in it ends with an old woman shooting a child predator with a shotgun during Christmas time, followed by the subsequent lynching-mobbing of said predator.
While one of the themes of this film seems to be that children "abide and endure" there should probably be a footnote amending the statement to recognize the help of a blunderbuss-toting Superman crone as part of said endurance.
3. American Psycho
Patrick Bateman really is the Grinch if the Grinch were human and unable to psychologically decipher whether or not he actually committed a brutal decapitation of Cindy Lou Who or just fantasized about it. Quick tip – if you're not sure you've killed somebody check under your fingernails for blood; that's the hardest place to clean that stuff out of.
The whole crazy gets kicked off right around the holidays when Patrick attends a Christmas party with his girlfriend. After that it's hard to tell how many days pass, but I'd like to think that "Feed me a stray cat" was actually the result of Santa magic bringing an ATM to life, only to find out that ATMs are assholes.
2. Brazil
Terry Gilliam should have his own holiday special, perhaps a remake of Rudolph where Santa Claus ODs on heroin and the elves leave his bloated corpse lying around pretending that he's still alive. Really when you look at the color scheme in his films, he's already half way to being festive. Fear and Loathing is like a two-hour Christmas tree.
Brazil does a good job at pointing out just how psychotic we all are, especially during the holiday season. It points out how surreal our traditions really are; a man in a big red suit, huge beard, and fluffy hat doesn't really stand out in a Terry Gilliam film – so what does that say about us?
1. Psycho
Yeah, dude – this takes place during the holidays. The very beginning text states that the first scene takes place on December 11th, and you can even see a few decorations here and there at the beginning. How festive.
Now here's a question: had Norman not been caught, how adorable would Christmas have been for that guy? Imagine it! Hot coco by the fire, maybe a tree, mother all donned up in her best dress – possibly even wearing a Santa hat! Can't you see it? I can just picture Norman sitting at the gingerbread man adorned piano, covering both voices in an epically disturbing duet rendition of O Little Town of Bethlehem. Adorable.

Bio and Links
I stumbled across this site over ten years ago, made a few entries, and wandered off. I returned after three years and realized it was a wonderful opportunity to do something meaningful, for both the dead and the living.
I am currently working on recording cemeteries in my home area, as well as those in Blair Co, Pa., my area of interest. My particular passion is recording stones that are 'trying hard to soon become unreadable'.
I am always thrilled when I can take an almost unreadable or broken tombstone, and, with a little research, successfully identify the person. Some have taken me years, but the harder the chase, the more satisfying the victory, especially knowing that someone out there may be searching for that elusive ancestor or relative...
I try to put as much application into stranger's graves as I would those of my own family, as I consider this a labor of love.
If anyone is helped by my efforts and wants to say thank-you, considering leaving a flower for my sponsored memorials. All tokens are appreciated.
I am a "no-dispositions-unknown" contributor
Please note - I try to act on SACs within 72 hours. If I do not respond within a week, feel free to resend; I may have missed it.
I will not make links, however, to burial unknowns
In the past I have been very liberal with transfers, including many out-of-guidelines transfers. I loved turning memorials over to family.
Sadly however, having been 'burned' a number of times recently, I am rethinking that policy. Most of the memorials I have happily transferred over have had not one iota of additional information added by the transferee, aside from links, often times to 'burial unknowns.' When things ARE added, they are frequently cut and paste entries from Ancestry or FamilySearch indices, making the memorial unattractive and about about as personable as a baseball score card. Often too, the transferees get bored and wander away from the site, abandoning their memorials and when I find new info to add they never reply.
If you request an out-of-guidelines transfer, I will review your current memorials to see if you are good stewards of them, and base my decision on that. I am very happy to add additional information to 'flesh-out' existing memorials, and if you work with me on that I may later reconsider a transfer that I did not initially grant.

RE: Steinmeyer
Hi Zella,
Wow! Your opening blew me away! It was a pleasant shock! Are you related to a Kathie Weigel and if so how? I recall Dad saying a few years back he had send Kathie a copy of the Weigel tree he and I worked on, and he was waiting to hear back from her with the information she had gathered. And of course I don�t know if he ever did hear back from her. Especially since Paul�s branch is rather bare on the documentation that Dad and I worked on. When we first started on this project I was in high school and we relied mostly on Anna�s memory. Then it got put on the back burner when I went to college and life happened. Dad picked up this project when he retired and I know he wrote to lots of people and visited Missouri and Iowa looking for information. He suffered from vascular dementia the last few years of his life so that project got put on the back burner. I�m still going through all his papers which is a slow process and I haven�t yet come across the box which may hold his research and the correspondence. I get sidetracked by other projects and people. One of these days, I will retire, and can focus more on some of these projects!
I remember G�ma talking about Paul and Wallie a couple times, but I can�t remember if it was in general, or if she and G�pa did go visit them. This was like in the late 60�s/early 70�s. Did you ever meet Anna and Horton?
Even though Dad passed in November, we didn�t have his memorial service until May. He is buried next to Mom at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver. The tombstone is supposed to be ready sometime this month. That�s why you probably couldn�t locate him. I noticed another volunteer already posted Mom� and Dad�s information but they aren�t linked. So I�ll send a message to that volunteer.
That was such a good picture you posted of my Gpa Horton. He was a handsome guy; I could see why Gma fell in love with him! One of my favorite memories of them together is that they were always holding hands.
Would it be possible for me to print the pictures of Gpa, and the one of Gma Anna with her mother? So cool!
Please feel free to email me directly!
From one cousin to another!

Patrick Doran
Hello Zella,
I am hoping you can help me with the memorial for Patrick Doran in Saint Vincents Cemetery in Akron Ohio (Memorial 63884074). I have been having trouble finding his death date on-line. Your memorial has a death date of Dec 12, 1881. Do you know where you obtained this date? You also mention that he was buried from St Bernards Church. Does that mean that he was moved to St Vincents, perhaps when his wife was buried? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Ray Buhl

RE: David Sellers
You are welcome! I have found many entries where the transcription doesn't match the date on the stone--not off by just one year as sometimes happens with gravestone and death certificate not matching, but because 7 and 2 are misread; 3, 6, 8 and 9 are also easy to confuse without careful inspection. It happens and is easily corrected :).

Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
Hello again..
So i ended up buying a Gretsch USA custom set. Now of course the question is, what heads are the best to put on this kit?
My previous beast-kit (that is what I am calling it) was big, loud, and massive..this is a bit smaller (well the toms are anyways) and so I'm a little unsure what to put on it. I've played on Evans Onyx heads before, G2's, 360's, etc. But they all react differently depending upon the kit (at least that has been my experience). Not ever having owned a USA custom before, I want to know what you think is best and more importantly.. why!?
any opinions from owners?
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
I have a Renown set not USA and the ones that sound best are Evans coated G2 over clear G 1.
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
To experience the full rich sound of those distinct drums I'd go Ambassador over Ambassador, G1 over G1 with either clear or coated batters OR G12 clear or coated or Ambassador X which is Remo's 12mil single ply version, coated only.
G2's or Emperors would be good too but I wouldn't muddy up the sound of a USA Custom with 2 ply heads. If you're a fairly hard hitter maybe but otherwise let them SOB's sing!
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
Honestly, I think a thinner single ply(probably coated) head would sound best on the USA customs, but then again, you really can't go wrong with head selection on the USA's. Id probably just stay away from the thicker single ply heads...
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
Stick with single ply. The USA Customs are a tiny bit larger diameter than other companies' drums, and there can be problems getting double ply heads to seat properly. I had a hell of a time getting a 12" Pinstripe head to tune up properly.
I alternate between clear and coated Remo Ambassador heads, top and bottom, as well as the bass drum. On the snare I use a coated clear dot.
If you do decide to go with double ply, crank the head on very tight, and leave it there for at least an hour. Then loosen it to finger tight, and tension it normally.
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
I generally run a coated G1 over a clear G1. I have also experimented with coated G1 as a reso. I've also tried Aquarian Texture Coated and Aquarian Modern Vintage for batters.
I keep coming back to G1 coated / G1 clear.
Go for the sound you are after I guess.
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
I put Earthtone Calfskins on my USA Customs. Amazing sounding drums; especially the toms.
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
I noticed nobody has asked what Genre of music you are playing, so I will make my recommendations by Genre below:
Classic Rock/Pop/Country- Toms -Evans G12 (G plus ) white coated. These are a 12mil single ply head, ideal for tom batters, warmer sounding than a G1 and more durable. This would be my choice for the tom batters. Honorable mention - Aquarian Response 2 coated.
Bass - Aquarian Superkick 1 batter with Regulator resonant side. Honorable Mention Remo PS3 coated with PS3 resonant side or Evans EMAD single ply coated with EQ3 resonant side.
Jazz - Tom batters -Aquarian Modern Vintage Mediums - these are outstanding heads, especially once they get played in a bit. Best coating in the industry. Beautiful tone. Honorable Mention :
Stock Gretsch Permatone coated ; Aquarian Satin Finish Texture coated and Evans J1 Etched.
Bass - Remo PS3 coated with PS3 resonant side ( felt strip front and back) ; Honorable Mention Aquarian Modern Vintage with feltstrip attached front and back sides of bass drum.
Welcome to the Gretsch USA Custom club, the water is fine. GRUNTERSDAD will send you your decoder ring and Halldor will show you the secret handshake once you post pictures of your new kit to prove you own one. :)
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
Gretsch USA Customs are quite versatile. RickP's advice based on genre of music you are playing is right on. I would add that the best choice also should include the environment you are playing in. Are you playing a lot of acccoustic, low volume settings, maybe using brushes a lot? Or are you playing in a louder, amplified environment? Your drums can be tailored for either with the right head choice. As Rick mentioned, the standard Gretsch Permatone heads are very good general purpose heads. You shouldn't feel compelled to replace them right away. In my case, my kit is an 18/14/12 and I play a lot with brushes, always low volume. So I use very thin heads, mostly Diplomats including the M5 with a 2 ply Hazy reso on the snare. I like Evans sound control heads on the bass, and the J1 Etched on the toms.
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
One other thing I have found I really like on my Gretsch kit is that I prefer coated Permatones/Ambassadors/G1s on the resonant sides of the toms. The toms sound warmer and the ring is more in control over the clear resonants.
Bill Stevenson makes a good suggestion of the J1 etched heads for lower volume music. I really like these heads especially for brushes and on my Jazz gigs.
Re: Best heads for a gretsch usa custom?
i use either coated ambassador or coated emperor over clear ambassadors. can't go wrong with those. i usually switch em up depending on the venue

Alternative to Speedking...?
I have been using old Speedkings since I was 14 (so, 17 years now) and will always love the things but... well, they keep breaking and I can't keep replacing them. Today, my current one stripped the thread on the beater holder (this is the 2nd one that's done this) so I'm gonna have to gig tonight with it gaffer-taped in place! Grrrr :(
I'm toying with the idea of finally upgrading to a modern pedal, but, i must say my experience with them is not great. Chains feel sluggish and I like how the hinge in the SK is an inch up the footplate so I can use my heel to recoil the beater - in fact, most of my technique is based around this action, so to lose that is gonna really affect me! I play with the springs very loose and most of the return action on the pedal is either head rebound or heel-driven with the hinge.
I tried IC's before and I hated them! In fact, Ive had my feet on a few chain pedals and theres just no 'finesse' to the feel in my opinion
Can any of you wonderful lot help guide me into something that might be good for my situation?
SKs are between £75-125 over here ($130-$200!!!) so it's an expensive taste to have to keep satisfying and I'd rather buy something that would last a few years. I'm no brand 'snob' but I'm also not made of money so any suggestions considered.

Stanley Burrell scored 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting and had the defensive assignment on Tommie Liddell.
Feb. 7, 2007
Box Score | Photo Gallery | Game Notes & Quotes
CINCINNATI - Hot three-point shooting and big runs to start both halves helped the Xavier men's basketball team bury visiting Saint Louis, 76-57, Wednesday evening at Cintas Center in Cincinnati. Justin Doellman tied his career high with 24 points as the Musketeers (17-7, 7-3) pulled to within a half-game of the Atlantic 10 lead heading into Saturday's match-up at George Washington.
After the Billikens (15-9, 5-5) had cut the Xavier lead to just four at the break, the Musketeers embarked on 21-8 run to start the second half and blow the game wide open. Stanley Burrell, who finished with 19 points, had eight in the stretch. Xavier would widen its advantage to 18 at 58-40 midway through the half as Doellman blocked a shot at one end and Burrell buried a three at the other.
Brandon Cole, who continues to come up big after being forced into the starting line-up due to XU injuries, converted an old-fashioned three-point play at the 4:06 mark of the second half. That play put Xavier up 70-52, giving XU the cushion it would need to finish out the team's first victory over SLU since becoming A-10 rivals (four games). Cole finished with five points and swiped a game-high six rebounds.
Defensively, Xavier bottled up Tommie Liddell -- who was averaging 16.5 points for the season and 21.7 in A-10 games -- and held him to just 10 points on 3-of-11 shooting from the field. Kevin Lisch scored 14 to lead SLU. Ian Vouyoukas was limited to just eight points and two boards.
Eight different Musketeers scored in the contest, including eight from Justin Cage, six from Drew Lavender and five each from Cole, B.J. Raymond and Johnny Wolf. Xavier's 31 rebounds came from nine different players.
Xavier shot 50 percent from the field for the game (23-of-46) and drained half of its three-point tries (9-of-18). Doellman was perfect on his three attempts from downtown and Burrell poured in three on seven tries.
For Doellman, there seemed to be no problems with his sprained ankle. The senior drained his first two three-point attempts and Cage added the opening trey of the game as the Musketeers stormed out to a 9-2 advantage before the first media timeout, helping electrify the crowd of 9,735. Xavier extended that run to 15-2, thanks in part to another shot from behind the arc by Raymond. XU was 6-of-11 from downtown in the first half.
The Billikens would dig themselves out of the early deficit and out-score the Musketeers 26-17 the remainder of the half. Dwayne Polk scored all eight of his points in the first frame and Lisch added six more on a pair of three-pointers.
The teams combined to shoot 59 percent (10-of-17) from long range in the first half and the Musketeers took a 32-28 lead into the break.
The Musketeers return to action Saturday evening with a pivotal conference game at George Washington. XU sits a half-game up on GW, which was idle Wednesday night. The game tips at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN2, part of ESPN's Rivarly Week.

I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I was scared and nervous. I had my procedure on 4/18/13. Surgery itself was a breeze.

YouLoveJack features homemade gay porn video self made movies and photos of super-cute guys in gay action! They shoot it themselves so they show more and do more.
Tom just turned 23 and instead of blowing out candles he snatched up the nearest video camera and grabbed his 9 inch uncut cock for some fun you can remember! And that's the way (uh huh, uh huh...) I like it!rnThis is Tom's third video for the site and it's amazing to see how this cocky straight dude has matured. The little bit of baby fat he had in his first video is gone. His muscles are defined and ripple beneath his long and lean atheltic frame... The cocky attitude and smug confidence is still there and it seems to make everything else hotter!

The first step is to gather the material.
Nintendo ES ROM Reader
Nintendo ES ROMS (I recommend Super Mario Bros.)
Computer, of course.
Windows Compatible Joystick or Controller (Optional)
Step 1: Okay, lets get started.
When you open up the Nintendo ES (NES) Rom Reader, it should be a small black window. Maximize it, then go to File > Open in the Top Left Corner.
Select your ROM. I chose Super Mario Brothers, as it was the best Video Game around back then.
When you load the ROM, press the Alt and Enter keys at the same time. This will enable Arcade, or, "Fullscreen" mode.
Step 2: Get your Game Set-Up.
Your game should now be set up and ready to play! Here are the controls. See the image below for the references to the classic NES controller.
Enter = Start, Select
Arrow Keys = Joypad (Control Pad)
Enjoy your Nes'd PC!
But wait, there is more? Check out the next step to see.
Step 3: Controllers
You may have the desire to set up a Windows Compatible Controller to your PC. No problem. On the back of your Computer, there should be a Long or Small Port with Holes in it. This is your Game Controller port. On my Computer, it is right beside my Video / Webcam cable ports.
When you plug in your compatible controller, or whatever fits in there, go to Start Menu, then Control Panel, then Game Controllers. Select from the list which Controller you have. If you do not know, check your box or look on the internet. And no, Nintendo 64 Controllers do, sadly, not work.
Remember, use an Arcade Controller, or you will have a lot of unused buttons and controls.
nes rocks!
NES Rom Reader is also a wrong name, they are called ROM emulators.
You also fail to give the right information about the controllers, there is a way to make the old NES controller work on a PC through USB
Also the possession of a ROM without owning the actual game is illegal.
the Nintendo ES. I thought that this was how to cram an NES into a PC Case.
anyways, it works really well for N64 and all that, i have found that my flight sim joystick for starfox 64 is EPIC
2. According to the law, it's legal. According to NIntendo, you should donate everything you have to them and then sell your body, donating the money to them.
Nintendo ES is confusing as it reminds me of Nintendo DS (a recent Gameboy model).

A fine proof impression falling between Arwas' fourth and fifth states, in which the image is complete but prior to the reduction of the size of the plate, apart from the regular edition of 130, one of only ten hors commerce impressions. One of twenty plates illustrating the Eugène Romero book Faune Parisienne, published by Gustave Pellet, Paris, 1901; printed by Philippe Renouard, Paris. Catalogue reference: Arwas A189; Exteens 166. Provenance: Ex-collection Fred Feinsilber, Paris.
Louis Legrand was a master of the aquatint technique. Legrand also painted and worked in pastel, but is considered a master of monochromatic aquatint. Legrand was born in Dijon, France in 1861. Until the age of twenty he worked as a bank teller while studying at the Dijon Ecole des Beaux Arts. After his arrival in Paris he began studying etching and engraving with Felicien Rops. His first commission was four etchings for Les PremièresIllustrées in 1884. This was the beginning of his apprenticeship as an illustrator. In 1887 he joined the Courrier Francais , a publication known for its political commentary, cynical humor and erotic overtones. This led to his incarceration on obscenity charges. In May of 1891 Legrand's illustrations of cancan dancers for Gil Blas Illustré brought him instant celebrity. An unprecedented 60,000 copies sold out immediately. Legrand was persuaded to etch the compositions and these were published in 1892 in a book titled Le Cours de Danse Fin de Siecle (Turn of the Century Dance Classes).
After a trip to Brittany Legrand created fourteen lithographs of Breton daily life. These works were published by Gustave Pellet who also published Lautrec's work. The collaboration between Legrand and Pellet resulted in some 300 works and a lifelong friendship. After the series on the cancan Legrand turned to the ballet. He created two wonderful albums , Les Petites du Ballet (1893) and La Petite Classe(1908). These works portrayed the activity behind the performances. Legrand never drew the actual performance.
His last major work was a series of etchings, aquatints and drawings to illustrate Francis Caro's text Elles. This was published in 1931. Legrand died in 1951 in total obscurity. It is important to note that Legrand preceded Lautrec and others in portraying and publishing the scenes of Parisian nightlife. The renewed appreciation of turn-of-the- century art has brought about the realization of Legrand's contributions.
This work is part of a carefully curated selection by noted fine art expert Jennifer McCloskey, who was formerly affiliated with Doyle Gallery in New York and is now based in San Francisco. If you have questions about any of the works in this selection, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Re: DRUM INSTRUCTION DVD & BOOK REVIEWS

Beginner to advanced.
I got the expanded DVD and the book recently.
I think they are excellent for the precise purpose they were written for. They are not about basic rock or jazz. Nor are they straightforward groove primers like Tommy Igoe's excellent Groove Essentials concentrating on a ready made result you can use with further ado. The purpose is facility in playing often complex patterns using mixed single and double strokes plus bass drum. Which is what funk is about! The patterns really do enlarge your vocabulary. But that style of playing does not technically suit basic rock in my view so if that's what you want to play look elsewhere. Also it's not much about the triplet feel of jazz which is another planet. For that sort of pattern look to Jim Chapin and others.
The fact that the book and video have sold for so long I think emphasises their value. You can dip and learn a little hand and foot pattern now and then so it's not too hard work! They tend to stick with you I find so you absorb them subliminally. Watching him do it really adds to the subliminal so for the best you need the book and DVD. Not cheap it's true but worth it for the serious player with a long-term plan to master the damn things called drum kits which look a lot easier to play than they are. Which exercise from which page is given on the screen so you can watch book in hand working through examples from every section.
I particularly enjoyed Rick Latham's description as to how the tutorials came about. He regularly transcribed things leading players like Garibaldi, Purdie and Gadd were doing and used them in classes he taught at a time when the linear funk style was becoming popular. The class expected something new each time. It took off into a book.
I also enjoyed Ed Shaughnessy's remark about how few people at clinics say they practised simply playing groove. He said it's rare for someone to ring a drummer and say "I'd like you on the gig because I've heard you do great solos. I know your time's a little shaky but I'm really looking forward to the solo".

Why mess up pure white with Snooki-like tattoos
With an emphasis on speed through lightweight shafts and a thin crown, both versions feature the companys trademark adjustable hosel with eight loft/lie angle settings. The standard model has a draw bias and weighs 299 grams. The deep-face cheapest r11 driver Tour version sits neutral.Once the ball gets up in the air it wont come down. The adjustability is easy to fine-tune. The only things Id criticize are the whack shaft graphics and the cheapest razr x irons. But neither of those contact the ball, so Im OK with it. Heres a cheapest X-24 irons that plays bigger than its total weight feels. We like the shorter shaft, too.

Digital music service Rhapsody has passed a million paying subscribers in the U.S. And that helps keep it as the national leader when it comes to music subscription services. Rhapsody has been around for 10 years - and in its current form, lets subscribers listen to as much music as they want for a monthly fee. The company also
offers a free trial period that includes use on mobile devices.
Rhapsody's subscriber count had hovered around 800,000 for years, but several recent developments reignited the business. For one thing, it began bundling its service into a cell phone plan for Android phones on one carrier, MetroPCS. And in October it picked up more subscribers through its purchase of Napster from Best Buy.

Olshey says, "If it looks like the target free agents are unavailable to us, we'll re-engage with Nic's agent about doing something. We can offer him a fifth year, while other teams can only give him four."
This doesn't sound to me like Olshey is real high on Nic. Sounds more like he'd rather have someone else. Hope he's thinking of someone more consistant and with more toughness. Lots of ??? here.
Are you sure the Blazers need someone teaching young players the old school type plays when all the current winningest teams are going to a more up-tempo style of play?
Hey people. Let's not forget about Freeland being another player with knee problems this year. That's just what we don't need.
If Larry really made all the calls, then that's just the guy Allen seems to want; a yes man.
We should use both picks, but only to get the best players available, not to fill a "need." We already tried the "fill a need" twice and it hurt us both times. Realistically, why didn't we take the "player of the year" when we had the chance? Let's get it right this time, Blazers.
...and Coach Canales was most recently an assistant coach, not a video guy. So right now he's got more head coaching experience that any other "assistant," regardless of age.
Replacing Larry with another just like him makes no sense at all. Just something to talk about, I guess. What we really need is a GM who's not afraid of either him or Allen. Oh, yea, that's right. We had one in Cho but they let him go. All we can do now is to keep bailing this sinking boat that is the Blazers and pray for Divine Intervention. Go Blazers!
If you get this article translated to English, you will read that Joel has had problems with his ankle and his back. Ugh. Do we really need more health issue players in the Blazers? He might have a good work ethic and may have a winning attitude, but will his body hold up? This is a big question that needs to be analyzed by a Doctor somewhere so Blazers know for sure what they're getting before they give him a contract. Especially after what we've just witnessed.
Seems to me, unless they really need the roster spot, that Kurt would be a very good mentor for all the rookies the Blazers will get this summer. Someone who can help them keep their personal lives on track.

It makes me sad to think that the Blazers don't take better care of their young talent. What do they expect when they throw millions of dollars at teenagers. I mean, look people. These kids just came in off the street. Yes they can play and as long as they're involved in the daily team routine, they're ok. But as soon as they're left on their own, they're lost and don't know what to do with themselves. It's exactly what happened to Zack and Rasheed. The Blazers need to come up with a comprehensive mentoring program for all their young players. Even B'Roy was just left to his wife to take care of him when he couldn't play. Doesn't anyone at the Blazers realize that these draftees aren't mature adults yet? What's wrong with this organization? Get with it Blazers.
Whoa, big fella. Do those of you posting here realize that the keyword in the search is "General?" They are looking for a General Manager. Someone to take over the job Larry Miller has been doing so he can go back to focusing on Vulcan. A "General" Manager oversees the entire Blazer operation including accounting, sales, promotion, PR, and on and on. A "General" manager is not the day to day Basketball Operations Manager, he is the GM. So, let's all just chill, sit back, and let Paul Allen find someone to take over the Blazers from Larry and then see where they go from there. And actually, when you think about it, neither Jordan nor Bird have done such great jobs as GM's so who cares what kind of a "Basketball Mind" the new GM has???
How does anyone know what we will need next year? No GM. No coach. Uncertain contract options? We don't know what kind of a coaching philosophy we will have next year, so who knows what players we will need to fulfill it???
How many times have we heard that either Batum or LA are "tireless workers," "gym rats" or any other references to either's work ethics? Not very many. Just going back to France or San Antonio to play in games so they can "keep playing" is NOT working on weaknesses; it's just having fun.
How many times have we heard about Koby's or Dirk's work ethics? Many. So, why would we keep any players that didn't have the work ethics of a star player? Star players are made, not born, and when a player isn't committed to working tirelessly on his game, then they're not worth keeping. Period. It seems the only one on the Blazers who we ever hear about their work ethic is Luke, beside Canales that is. With that now in mind, where does the rebuilding begin???
Thanks for saying that. I hate the fact that the music and announcers are louder than the fans at the RG. We fans could make enough noise if allowed to do it, but nooooooooo. We have to be drowned out by the blaring, eardrum shattering PA system. It's too bad and it takes away from the basketball experience.
Maybe we as fans should start suggesting fixes because if we have been doing so badly for so long then doesn't it stand to reason that our "longest tenured" staff is obviously broken. How about Paul Allen examining the programs that are consistently good and trying to follow their pattern. And it's not necessarily the large market teams that do good. Just look at what a mess there is in New York and that should potentially be the largest market.
So Paul, how about trying to lure some of the scouting staff away from Boston, L.A., or San Antonio? That would seem the appropriate place to start. Then maybe you should go looking for a coach who has had sucess with mediocre teams, ya think? As far as a front office is concerned, you really blew it by letting Cho go. So where to start? Maybe with a GM that has potential as a "people person"??
I hope some of these ideas are helpful. At least it's a place to start. GO BLAZERS!
I wouldn't count on Dwill or Nash if I were you. Besides, Crawford and Felton have been doing a great job as of late and really can't be blamed for the pressure Nate put on them at the start of the season. After all, Felton wasn't brought here to be the go to guy at the end of games. That was supposed to be BRoy. Felton was just supposed to set him up which he obviously did well with LMA before he went down. I think we have a good guard core and basically need to shore up the middle. Not that we should draft for position like before because that obviously hasn't worked out for us in the past. But we can take the best player available and then see if we can trade him for a good big. Just some ideas. So, please stop hating on Felton and Crawford.
Blazers, ah, Chad, please, if you really are the acting GM, please get us a new training and medical staff that will sincerely help all our players. They deserve the best you can give them and it's now come out that you are giving them the minimum of what they need, and I wouldn't be surprised that you don't get sued big time over it. Roy and Oden would be foolish to let you off the hook. Please get Shawne the help he deserves.
So...what free agents does anyone see signing with the Blazers after all this negative publicity? Any? The Blazers had better just recycle their entire medical and re-training staff before free agency begins or they are just out of luck. P.S. I do believe Zig's comments. Most of us have witnessed the arrogance of the Blazers front office.

Blarney's Blog
Welcome to Blarney's Blog
Who is Blarney, you might ask?
I am Blarney Killarney from the grand clan of Killarney Leprechauns.
A wee bit of Irish magic an' grand ol' fashioned Irish luck landed me in the Liverpool Public Library. Why might a leprechaun end up so far from Ireland? 'Tis a true tale that I tell. I was out for a stroll among the heather, when I happened along a couple of tourists. Now I have a little hobby of climbing into the backpacks of tourists because you never know what kind of interesting reading materials they might have, and I love to read. 'Twas so nice and warm inside the backpack that I found meself drifting off to sleep. Now, leprechauns do not sleep often, but when they gets their mind set to sleeping they can sleep for days. One minute I was reading snug in the tourist's backpack, and next thing I know I'm tucked away inside the pages of a book on a sale shelf inside a library lobby. To awake surrounded by books! What glorious fortune! 'Twas no small bit o' magic there. I no longer have to sneak into the backpacks of tourists. I have many lifetimes of reading materials here. I looked around for the best place to build my home, and noticed several nice young lassies above me, new friends, books from floor to ceiling-- what better place to call home?!
I'm a wee bit shy, so you will never see me, but you can write to me or visit my house located in the Children's Room of the Library.
Write to me:
Please place all letters in the mailbox located above my door
in the Children's Room at Liverpool Public Library.

We'll all be scouring the shelves of both video stores and our own living rooms for just the right movie for tonight's Halloween fesitivities. Though a year has rarely gone by where I don't watch Poltergeist, Don't Look Now, or Rosemary's Baby, and let's face it, if I don't watch It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown at least once, then I might as well skip Halloween and go straight onto that holiday with the cranberry sauce.
I'm thinking that this year, in addition to a Charlie Brown screening, and a highly probable glimpse of a personal fave, the Paul Lynde Halloween Special (a 1978 nugget, featuring the greatest disco performance of "That Old Black Magic" that Florence Henderson's probably ever done...), I think tonight's options may very well include a favorite I discovered last year....The Mario Bava short "The Drop of Water" from the Bava trilogy (of terror, though not starring Karen Black...sadly) Black Sabbath from 1963. The final of the 3, Bava's "Drop of Water," when I carelessly watched it last autumn alone at like 1 a.m., creeped me out pretty badly...a reworking of "The Tell Tale Heart," it's a perfect short horror film, spare dialogue, creepy ornate sets, reliant on sound effects and one heart-stoppingly memorable plastic face. It's so reminiscent of a recurring nightmare I had as a child, that it's unthinkable that I hadn't seen it at a very young age and had it buried in my subconscious for years. Primal, great.
If you're looking for communal gasps, nothing can top Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Pulse , although the Japanese masterpiece, finally being released here before its sure to be woebegone American remake next year, is coming out AFTER Halloween...November 9th, I believe. Well, don't miss it when it's out, although it should have been priority number one tonight for all the uninitiated. The scariest ghost movie in many a moon, Pulse needs no introduction to most of our readers, but suffice it to say that its apocalytpic ghosts-on-the-internet concept is hardly as goofy as it sounds. Disquieting and unforgettable, see it before all the assholes start claiming "It's not that scary." It is.
Since Pulse has a couple weeks to go, there's always the Land of the Dead Directors' Cut, freshly out on DVD this week. Both underscrutinized and overanalyzed at once, Romero's 4th zombie movie was just a big fucking wrecking ball of a movie that refused to give into any moviemaking trends. Forget the social commentary tonight—dude, that zombie just pulled out that guy's heart through his MOUTH! Then, it could be a good time to get caught up on your Rob Zombie, finally catch The Wicker Man, take another look at Cujo, one of the best horrors of the 80s and with the completely awesome Dee Wallace, or grab that "Well, I was going to put my money toward groceries this week instead but...." Val Lewton Box Set. Happy Halloween everybody...and repeat with me: The Exorcist is kinda boring.


text: The Communication Arts department at Clearwater Christian College is pleased to announce the addition of two new minors. Beginning in Fall 2009, students will be able to enroll in Journalism/Mass Communication and Theatre minors. The purpose of the Journalism/Mass Communication minor is to provide English and communications arts majors with the opportunity to have a journalistic concentration. The theatre minor allows students who are interested in a possible future in dramatic production the necessary experience with all associated facets of this medium. Furthermore, either of these minors may be combined with any major to add weight to vocational, ministerial, or educational pursuits. According to Dr. Bob Cundiff, department chair, the Communication Arts department is excited to offer two new minors in Journalism/Mass Communication and Theatre. Dr. Cundiff says he believes that a number of students who are majoring in other areasbusiness, music, the sciences, for exampleand are also interested in Journalism/Mass Communication or theatre, would be interested in adding a minor in one of these areas. It is great preparation to take courses, even a minor, in subjects in which they are interested. Graduates might be able to teach in these areas, or use the training in whatever vocation the Lord might bring their way. These additions to the CCC course offerings will give students a streamlined educational experience that will support a decision to enter the fields of communication, journalism, and theatre. Due to the automatic Bible minor present in every CCC degree, the student desiring to pursue a Journalism/Mass Communication or Theatre minor will aquire supplementary Biblical understanding, while promoting journalistic and communicative expertise. For more information on these and other course offerings, visit the academics section of our web site or contact the admissions department by email firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone 800-348-4463.

Health & Safety
For the fourth time in a few weeks, a worker has died and another has been injured after accidentally igniting vapors while dismantling an oil tank that they thought were empty.
Cesar Martinez, 24, was killed and Eric Robles was injured in the accident about 9 a.m. Tuesday (June 19) at Sun Mountain Oil & Gas facility in Arvin, CA.
Kern County Fire Department
Martinez and Robles worked for Skybrand Service, of Bakersfield, CA. The men were near two crude-oil storage tanks and believed that both the pipes and the tanks were empty, the Kern County Fire Department reported.
'A Powerful Explosion'
The cutting operation set off "a powerful explosion" directly behind the fire station, hurling the 400-barrel tank (approximately 16,800 gallons) 30 feet into the air and 79 feet from the scene, the fire department said.
The blast threw Martinez more than 50 feet into the air and more than 100 feet from the site; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Robles was thrown into a nearby chain link fence and was helicoptered to a hospital.
Robles' injuries were initially described as critical, but Dale Hill, a partner with Skybrand Service, said Wednesday that Robles had been released from the hospital and would recover.
Hill said that both Martinez and Robles were experienced workers. Robles had been with Skybrand for about six months; Martinez, for about two years.
California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) is investigating the blast.
AR, NY Explosions
Martinez's death came less than a month after three workers in Arkansas perished in a similar explosion that occurred while they were dismantling an old oil storage tank. That blast, on May 21, set off a fire that spread to a wooded area before being brought under control.
Authorities suspect that a power saw ignited toxic vapors, killing the three employees of Long Brothers Oil Co., based in Norphlet, AR.
US Chemical Safety Board
Federal OSHA, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB), and the Environmental Protection Agency were all investigating the blast.
Those deaths occurred less than a month after the Chemical Safety Board concluded that another form of hot work touched off yet another explosion that killed a subcontractor at a DuPont polymer plant in New York in 2010.
The board said DuPont's engineers had fatally misjudged the level of flammable vapor inside the 10,800-gallon tank that exploded and killed welder Richard Folaron, 57.
In its final report and investigation video, CSB said DuPont had monitored the atmosphere above the tank, where Folaron was working, but had failed to monitor the tank interior.
'Hot Work' Warnings
The DuPont explosion came just a few months after CSB issued a bulletin, "Seven Key Lessons to Prevent Worker Deaths During Hot Work In and Around Tanks," and a video, "Hot Work: Hidden Hazards," on the dangers of hot work. The bulletin cited 11 fatal hot-work accidents.
After the Arkansas accident last month, the Chemical Safety Board issued another warning about deadly "hot work" accidents, saying they occur "much too frequently."
Board Chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso said in a statement: "The CSB has investigated too many of these accidents, which can be prevented by carefully monitoring for flammable vapor before and during hot work."

New Products: Sonus, Digital Rapids, Averna/Pace
Sonus Networks beefs up SBC portfolio
Sonus Networks has upgraded its session border control (SBC) portfolio with software and hardware enhancements.
Sonus has rolled out two new modular platforms — the SBC 5110 and SBC 5210 Session Border Controllers — that were built on the same hardware architecture and software as the SBC 5100 and SBC 5200 Session Border Controllers.
As part of the product evolution, the SBC 5110 and SBC 5210 feature a modular design that allows customers to install up to four digital signal processor (DSP) cards and is field upgradeable as network demands change.
To go with the new modular platforms, Sonus is also delivering new DSP cards: the DSP20 and DSP25.
These new cards, together with the new platforms, provide an increase in DSP system capacity, giving customers greater support for border-based media control and services.
The Sonus SBC 5110 and SBC 5210 – as well as the DSP20 and DSP25 cards – are available for immediate order and feature a new version of software, which is consistent across the complete Sonus SBC 5000 Series.
The new release 3.1 software delivers nearly 100 feature enhancements across the entire SBC 5000 Series while also extending multimedia features for Unified Communications (UC) needs and expanding security and management capabilities.
"Eighteen months ago, we set out to offer customers the most complete portfolio of session border controllers, and the market has responded by firmly establishing Sonus as the fastest growing brand of SBCs," said David Tipping, vice president and general manager, SBC Business Unit, Sonus.
Digital Rapids releases new version of Stream software
Digital Rapids recently started shipping version 3.8 of its the Digital Rapids Stream software for the company's StreamZ, StreamZHD and Flux ingest, encoding and streaming offerings.
The new version features H.264, MPEG-2 and DVCPro encoding enhancements including 4K Ultra HD H.264 encoding support; expanded support for automated multi-screen advertising insertion workflows; and new predefined project files for transforming content for Netflix delivery.
Additional new features in version 3.8 included enhanced MXF compatibility with support for uncompressed YUV video; improved MOV file format handling; expanded support for up to 64 audio tracks in Transport Streams; live 5.1-to-stereo and stereo-to-mono audio down-mixing; enhancements to the optional HLS encoding and segmenting module; and a variety of minor additions and refinements.
Stream 3.8 further strengthens Stream software's support for automated, live advertising and monetization workflows with new support for the latest updated SCTE- 104 specification and the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) protocol. Cueing messages in live input sources are detected to automate the insertion of markers into HLS outputs for triggering subsequent ad insertion or replacement.
"We're excited that the advances in Stream 3.8 are now available to our customers," said Darren Gallipeau, product manager at Digital Rapids. "The encoding performance and quality gains in the new version will bring immediate benefits for most media transformation applications."
Averna/Pace partner on DOCSIS certification
Montreal-based Averna has forged a design-validation partnership with Pace that it said would accelerate customer premise equipment certification (CPE) for cable operators.
Using Averna's DOCSIS Channel Emulator (DCE), the two companies will help service providers gain SCTE-40 certification on various CPE equipment for the cable and broadband industry.
The DCE allows Pace to test 8-bonded downstream channels simultaneously, with all necessary impairments to complete performance and resilience tests required by multi-system operators (MSOs).
The DCE is a smallfootprint channel-emulation platform that helps device makers ensure that their DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS products deliver optimum performance in the field. The DCE simulates a real-time cable network between the cable-modem termination system (CMTS) and the CPE. The DCE's FPGA-based design is powered by National Instruments' vector signal transceiver, which expands test coverage, lowers latency, extends bandwidth and frequency range, and minimizes the DCE hardware footprint.

Panic Or Pray?
October 11, 2012
Read: 2 Chronicles 14:1-11
Help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. 2 Chronicles 14:11
An 85-year-old woman, all alone in a convent, got trapped inside an elevator for 4 nights and 3 days. Fortunately, she had a jar of water, some celery sticks, and a few cough drops. After she tried unsuccessfully to open the elevator doors and get a cell phone signal, she decided to turn to God in prayer. It was either panic or pray, she later told CNN. In her distress, she relied on God and waited till she was rescued. Asa was also faced with the options of panic or pray (2 Chron. 14). He was attacked by an Ethiopian army of a million men. But as he faced this huge fighting force, instead of relying on military strategy or cowering in dread, he turned to the Lord in urgent prayer. In a powerful and humble prayer, Asa confessed his total dependence on Him, asked for help, and appealed to the Lord to protect His own name: Help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude (v.11). The Lord responded to Asas prayer, and he won the victory over the Ethiopian army. When we are faced with tight spots, meager resources, a vast army of problems, or seemingly dead-end solutions, lets not panic but instead turn to God who fights for His people and gives them victory.
In my distress, anxiety, and fear, Lord, teach me to rely on You and draw close to You. Then I know Ill be able to stand strong in Your power and wont be dependent on my own strength.
Prayer is the bridge between panic and peace

At least they are showing a commitment to continue to play the game the way they do best. Michu is a good signing, and with a skilful squad rehearsed in how to pass and move and control a game, they have the ability to push for mid table once again.
Andre Villas Boas returns to the capital just a few months after being fired as Chelsea manager. This time should in theory be more successful than the last. While at Chelsea, Villas Boas encountered a squad unsuited to his style of play and unwilling to accept change. Tottenham's side is full of pace and width, and with central players of the quality of Gylfi Sigurdsson they should be able to adapt to the Portuguese's style. But Tottenham have a battle on their hands to finish fourth, with Chelsea spending big, Arsenal investing heavily for once in experience, and Liverpool bringing in a new manager. But along with their North London rivals, Tottenham should be favourites to land a Champions League spot again.
West Ham arrive in the Premier League, but this is a different side to the one relegated. It is a side managed by Sam Allardyce, who will look to join Pulis and O'Neill in bucking the trend for promoted teams to be attacking and skilful.
Allardyce's style of play was seen as a price worth paying for promotion but he seems intent on continuing in that manner now his team are back in the Premier League. West Ham have bought some good players, such as Mo Diame and Modibo Maiga. How long they are prepared to put up with Allardyce's crude style could be a pertinent question, and possibly the biggest one facing the Hammers this term. They should be good enough to survive though.
This will be a tough year for West Brom after Roy Hodgson's departure. Hodgson has a way of playing and communicating with his players that always seems to work, and Steve Clarke will have a tough job replicating that. Inexperienced as a manager, whether Clarke is up to it or not is open to question. The signing of Markus Rosenberg is a good one, but West Brom lack genuine quality across the field. Much will rely on Chris Brunt's creativity and the skill of James Morrison. They are a good team, but in an increasingly competitive league could be a surprise candidate for the drop.
Wigan for once will start the season not as favourites for relegation. Roberto Martinez's hard work seemed to pay off at the end of the last campaign as their 3-4-3 style brought them some exceptional results. Victories against Manchester United, Newcastle, Liverpool and Arsenal gave Wigan a confidence not seen before .With the intelligent signing of Ivan Ramis to shore up the defence, Martinez will hope his team's new found 'arrogance', as he liked to put it, will help them enjoy a more comfortable campaign than usual. They may lose Victor Moses, but still have the quality necessary to enjoy a season clear of danger.
