Affective Forecasting: the Effects of Immune Neglect and Surrogation
Date: August 2012
Creator: Burkman, Summer Dae
Description: Studies of affective forecasting examine people's ability to predict (forecast) their emotional (affective) responses to future events. Affective forecasts underlie nearly all decisions people make and the actions they take. However, people engage in systematic cognitive errors when making affective forecasts and most often overestimate the intensity and duration of their emotional responses. Understanding the mechanisms that lead to affective forecasting errors (e.g., immune neglect) and examining the utility of methods for improving affective forecasting errors (e.g., surrogation) can provide highly valuable information for clinicians as they assist clients in determining their goals both for therapy and for life. The first purpose of the current study was to determine if affective forecasting errors due to immune neglect lead to misjudgments about the relative emotional impact of minor versus moderate negative experiences (i.e., trauma severity). The second purpose was to examine the utility of surrogation for improving affective forecasts. Potential interaction effects between these two variables were also examined. The current study utilized a 2 (Trauma Severity: minor, moderate) X 3 (Prediction Information: surrogation information only, simulation information only, both types of information) experimental design. Undergraduates were recruited via the SONA system and randomly assigned to one of the six experimental ...

Altruism and Depression: Exploring This Relationship and the Mechanisms Behind It
Date: August 2013
Creator: Wright, Brittney, C.
Description: The impact of environmental influences on depression has been well established by research. In particular, it is known that receiving/perceiving adequate social support has a protective influence on depression. Less is known about the protective benefits of providing support to others, namely in the form of altruistic, empathetic, or prosocial behavior. While research has shown that having altruistic attitudes and engaging in altruistic behaviors has a positive impact on physical health and mental well-being, studies on the association between altruistic attitudes and/or behavior and depression are limited. The present study examined the relationship between altruism and depression, and hypotheses were tested that allow for explanation of why altruism may protect against depression. A sample of 303 participants was recruited from the University of North Texas and the surrounding community. Participants completed an online survey that examined their altruistic activities, details regarding these activities, their prosocial attitudes, and their current level of depression. Results did not support that level of involvement in altruistic activities is directly related to depression severity. However, outcomes from involvement in altruistic activities, including sense of overburden from participating in altruistic activities, level of social interaction with other helpers and those helped during altruistic activities, and sense ...

Assessment of Feigning with the Trauma Symptom Inventory: Development and Validation of new Validity Scales with Severely Traumatized Patients
Date: May 2011
Creator: Payne, Joshua W.
Description: Currently, only the TSI assesses complex traumatic reactions and patient response styles. However, its feigning scale, ATR, uses a flawed detection strategy and is potentially confounded by experiences of complex PTSD. As a consequence, clinicians using the TSI to evaluate severely traumatized patients have no useful method for discriminating genuine and feigned responding. Several detection strategies have demonstrated utility within evaluations of feigned trauma including the assessment of rare symptoms, symptom combinations, symptom selectivity, and symptom severity. The current study created scales on the TSI according to these strategies using a development sample of 107 severely traumatized patients. Validation of all TSI feigning scales was then performed with a second independent sample of 71 severely traumatized patients using a mixed simulation design. Results found support for each scale's convergent validity with SIRS primary scales (M rs = .52) and discriminant validity with measures of defensiveness on the SIRS (M rs = -.07) and TSI (M rs = -.19). Each scale also produced expectedly mild to moderate relationships with SADS-C clinical scales (M rs = .32) and the SCID-IV PTSD module (M rs = -.02). Support for their criterion validity was only moderate (M ds = .69) when comparing the scores ...

Attention and Metacognition in the Elaborated Intrusion Theory of Desire
Date: August 2013
Creator: Yates III, Robert D.
Description: The elaborated intrusion (EI) theory of desire is a cognitive model that describes the processes involved in craving as intrusive thoughts that are elaborated upon leading to dissonance when desires are not met. While the theory is based on a wide body of research, certain theoretical predictions have not been fully examined. Specifically, EI theory argues that mental imagery has a central role in craving, and predicts that attempts to suppress substance-related intrusive thoughts and mental imagery is related to increased craving. Further, EI theory suggests that elaboration of craving imagery is related to attention and working memory processes, however, there are questions about whether differential performance in these domains is related to craving. The current study examined the relationship between attention/working memory performance and alcohol craving in a sample of 119 young adult males. Additionally, metacognition was examined to clarify the phenomenological aspects of craving within EI theory. Attention and working memory performance did not significantly predict intrusive thought and mental imagery elaboration. Individuals with high craving reported significantly higher levels of anxiety, thought suppression, and greater strength and frequency of craving-related mental imagery. They were also more likely to try to control their own thoughts and make negative ...

Correlates Between Adult Romantic Attachment Patterns and Dimensional Personality Pathology
Date: August 2013
Creator: Ernest, Kimberly Dawn
Description: Previous research has suggested that adult attachment disturbance is related to maladaptic interaction patterns and personality disorder constructs. Specifically, research indicates that those with attachment disturbance are significantly more likely to meet criteria for a number of personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between adult attachment and the new dimensional model of personality disorders scheduled to be released in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Health Diosrders (5th ed.) in spring 2013. Participants completed the Schedule for Adaptive and Nonadaptive Personality (SNAP) to measure dimensional personality functioning and the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-R) and the Attachment Prototypes to measure adult attachment patterns. Additionally, select scales from the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) and the Five Factor Model (FFM) will be utilized as secondary measures of personality patterns. The results suggest strong associations between adult attachment orientations and specific maladaptive personality characteristics.

Decentering and the Theory of Social Development
Date: August 2012
Creator: Fincher, Jennie
Description: The concept of decentering originated with Piaget, who defined decentering as a feature of operational thought, the ability to conceptualize multiple perspectives simultaneously. Feffer applied Piaget's concept of decentering to the cognitive maturity of social content. This study used Feffer's Interpersonal Decentering scoring system for stories told about TAT pictures to investigate the developmental hierarchy of decentering for children and adolescents. The participants originated from the Berkeley Guidance Study, a longitudinal sample of more than 200 individuals followed for more than 60 years by the Institute of Human Development at the University of California, Berkeley. The hypotheses tested were: (1) chronological age will be positively related to Decentering as reflected in Feffer's Interpersonal Decentering scores obtained annually between ages 10 and 13 and at 18; (2) children born into higher class homes would have higher Age 12 Decentering scores; (3) children born later in birth order will have higher Age 12 Decentering scores; (4) children whose parents were observed to have closer bonds with their children at age 21 months will have higher Age 12 Decentering scores; (5) adolescents with higher scores from the Decentering Q-sort Scale (derived from adolescent Q-sorts) will have higher Age 12 Decentering scores; and (6) ...

Denial of Risk: the Effects of Intentional Minimization on Risk Assessments for Psychopathic and Nonpsychopathic Offenders
Date: August 2013
Creator: Gillard, Nathan D.
Description: Risk assessments for offenders often combine past records with current clinical findings from observations, interviews, and test data. Conclusions based on these risk assessments are highly consequential, sometimes resulting in increased criminal sentences or prolonged hospitalization. Offenders are therefore motivated to intentionally minimize their risk scores. Intentional minimization is especially likely to occur in offenders with high psychopathic traits because goal-directed deception is reflected in many of the core traits of the disorder, such as manipulativeness, glibness, and superficial charm. However, this connection appears to be based on the conceptual understanding of psychopathy, and it has rarely been examined empirically for either frequency or success. The current study examined the connection between psychopathic traits and the intentional minimization of risk factors using a sentenced jail sample. In general, offenders were able to effectively minimize risk on the HCR-20 and SAQ, while the PICTS, as a measure of cognitive styles, was more resistant to such minimization. Psychopathic traits, especially high interpersonal facet scores, led to greater minimization using a repeated measure, simulation design. Important differences in the willingness and ability to use deception were found based on (a) the content of subscales, and (b) the mode of administration (i.e., interview vs. ...

Evaluating Process Variables in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Date: August 2011
Creator: Vander Lugt, Amanda Adcock
Description: Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) was developed to specifically target experiential avoidance (EA) rather than any specific diagnostic category. A functional ACT manual was presented and used to treat diagnostically diverse clients in a large sliding fee-for-service training clinic. A multiple baseline across participants and behaviors research design was used to evaluate session-by-session changes in EA, values identification, valued action, and clinical distress. The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-2 (AAQ2), Valued Living Questionnaire (VLQ), and Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45) were given to measure processes and outcomes given the functional ACT model presented in the introduction to the paper. Baseline included the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I and II Disorders given across 2-5 50- minute sessions. The treatment phase consisted of 7-10 50-minute sessions. Participants were 10 clients. Four participants completed sufficient treatment sessions (4-9) to test the study hypotheses. Participants generally improved across time, but most improvements could not be attributed to the functional application of ACT due to changes during baseline for AAQ, VLQ-Consistency, and OQ-45. VLQ-Importance significantly improved for all participants given ACT.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Parent training Protocol Based on an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Philosophy of Parenting
Date: August 2011
Creator: O'Brien, Karen M.
Description: Thirty-four parents were referred by their CPS caseworkers to participate in one of two ACT for Parenting workshops. These workshops followed a 12 hour treatment protocol based on an acceptance and commitment therapy philosophy of parenting. Briefly, an ACT philosophy of parenting maintains that effective parenting requires awareness and acceptance of thoughts and feelings as they occur in the context of the parent-child relationship. An ACT philosophy of parenting also relies heavily on the identification and commitment to parenting values. Participants were asked to track acceptance and valuing behavior on a daily basis for 25 days prior to the intervention and 25 days post-intervention, as well as to complete a package of self-report instruments designed to measure both ACT specific and general psychological processes, at three different points (pre-, post- and follow-up). Nineteen parents received the treatment, and of those, seventeen provided follow-up data 3-4 months post-intervention. Results indicate statistically significant changes in the expected directions for scores on the BASC-2 Externalizing Composite as well as on the Meta-Valuing Measure. A total of 10 parents also evidenced clinically significant change in the expected directions on a variety of outcome measures.

An Examination of Resnick's Model of Malingering: a Pai Study of Feigned Ptsd
Date: August 2013
Creator: Wooley, Chelsea N.
Description: Malingered posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) poses a formidable clinical challenge in personal injury and disability cases because of the apparent ease in feigning PTSD and the supposed link (proximate cause) to the claimed damages. The effective assessment of feigned PTSD is particularly challenging because this diagnosis is both easier to fake than other Axis I disorders and more difficult to detect. As an additional confound, some patients with genuine PTSD produce highly variable, elevated profiles on multiscale inventories that are difficult to distinguish from feigned PTSD. The current study examined whether the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) can effectively differentiate between genuine and feigned PTSD in 109 inpatients from a trauma unit. The two most effective scales were the MAL and the NDS scales. As a primary focus, the current study was the first empirical investigation of Resnick's model of malingered PTSD that is comprised of three subtypes: pure malingering (pure-M), partial malingering (partial-M), and false imputation (false-I). The primary goal was to evaluate whether each feigning group was able to (a) effectively simulate PTSD symptoms and diagnoses and (b) avoid being classified as feigning. The partial-M group proved to be the best feigning group in achieving these two goals. Furthermore, ...

1 (28 ounce) jar
Prego® Fresh Mushroom Italian Sauce
1 1/2 cups
shredded mozzarella cheese
5 cups
hot cooked medium tube-shaped pasta (ziti)
1/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
This was quick and easy to prepare after work. Overall this is a pretty decent recipe that used ingredients I already had it the house. I added some garlic, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper to suit my family's taste.
This turned out rather well. I used 3T of dried minced onion, added some salt and pepper and a clove of minced garlic with the meat and onion during browning. I used store brand sauce and it was a 20 oz jar so I used 1 1/2 jars. I made about 12 oz of pasta and that seemed to be enough. I didn't measure to see if it was 5 cups or not. I doubled the cheese and baked this for 40 minutes. This didn't get raves like a homemade sauce would have and wasn't fancy but it was good. This made a 9x13 pan.
55 Ratings
I am rating this recipe based on my kids because I didn't try it except for a bite. My kids both loved it. One took it for school in her lunch the next day. I made it in the morning and put it in the refrigerator then baked it for dinner. I rated it a 4 based on my bite, it was little bland for my taste. Super easy back to school meal. I would cover it for 20- 25 minutes with aluminum foil and then remove the last 5-10 minutes while baking so the noodles don't dry out on top.
I substituted turkey sausage in the recipe and it was so good. My family didn't even realize I had made this switch on them.
Substituted italian turkey sausage for ground beef and used Barilla tomato/basil sauce instead of Ragu (personal preference). This was really easy to make and really good! Used about a cup of italian blend cheese on top.
5 stars for simplicity. I did use my own sauce though.
Tasty and easy. We have a 15 person family dinner each week and this is one of my favorite, easy to make, filling and yummy meals for that purpose (double the recipe). I doctor it up with a little seasoning and use my favorite sauce....good to go.
Everyone loved this recipe. I didnt' use the Mushroom sauce because the kids are picky. But it was great with any flavor sauce. Will definitely make this again.

Black phosphorus, a layered two-dimensional crystal with tunable electronic properties and high hole mobility, is quickly emerging as a promising candidate for future electronic and photonic devices. Although theoretical studies using ab initio calculations have tried to predict its atomic and electronic structure, uncertainty in its fundamental properties due to a lack of clear experimental evidence continues to stymie our full understanding and application of this novel material. In this work, aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and ab initio calculations are used to study the crystal structure of few-layer black phosphorus. Directly interpretable annular dark-field images provide a three-dimensional atomic-resolution view of this layered material in which its stacking order and all three lattice parameters can be unambiguously identified. In addition, electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is used to measure the conduction band density of states of black phosphorus, which agrees well with the results of density functional theory calculations performed for the experimentally determined crystal. Furthermore, experimental EELS measurements of interband transitions and surface plasmon excitations are also consistent with simulated results. Finally, the effects of oxidation on both the atomic and electronic structure of black phosphorus are analyzed to explain observed device degradation. The transformation of black phosphorus into amorphous PO3 or H3PO3 during oxidation may ultimately be responsible for the degradation of devices exposed to atmosphere over time.
Hf1− x − y Al x Si y N (0 x 0.14, 0 y 0.12) single layer and multilayer films are grown on Si(001) at 250 °C using ultrahigh vacuum magnetically unbalanced reactive magnetron sputtering from a single Hf0.6 Al 0.2Si0.2 target in mixed 5%-N2/Ar atmospheres at a total pressure of 20 mTorr (2.67 Pa). The composition and nanostructure of Hf1− x − y Al x Si y N films are controlled by varying the energy E i of the ions incident at the film growth surface while maintaining the ion-to-metal flux ratio constant at eight. Switching E i between 10 and 40 eV allows the growth of Hf0.78 Al 0.10Si0.12N/Hf0.78 Al 0.14Si0.08N multilayers with similar layer compositions, but in which the Si bonding state changes from predominantly Si–Si/Si–Hf for films grown with E i = 10 eV, to primarily Si–N with E i = 40 eV. Multilayer hardness values, which vary inversely with bilayer period Λ, range from 20 GPa with Λ = 20 nm to 27 GPa with Λ = 2 nm, while fracture toughness increases directly with Λ. Multilayers with Λ = 10 nm combine relatively high hardness, H ∼ 24 GPa, with good fracture toughness.
By systematically changing growth parameters, the growth of β-(AlxGa1−x)2O3/Ga2O3 (010) heterostructures by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy was optimized. Through variation of the Al flux under O-rich conditions at 600 °C, β-(AlxGa1−x)2O3 (010) layers spanning ∼10% to ∼18% Al 2O3 were grown directly on β-Ga2O3 (010) substrates. Nominal β-(AlxGa1−x)2O3 (010) compositions were determined through Al:Ga flux ratios. With x = ∼0.18, the β-(AlxGa1−x)2O3 (020) layer peak in a high-resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) ω-2θ scan was barely discernible, and Pendellösung fringes were not visible. This indicated that the phase stability limit of Al 2O3 in β-Ga2O3 (010) at 600 °C was less than ∼18%. The substrate temperature was then varied for a series of β-(Al∼0.15Ga∼0.85)2O3 (010) layers, and the smoothest layer was grown at 650 °C. The phase stability limit of Al 2O3 in β-Ga2O3 (010) appeared to increase with growth temperature, as the β-(AlxGa1−x)2O3 (020) layer peak with x = ∼0.18 was easily distinguishable by HRXRD in a sample grown at 650 °C. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that β-(Al∼0.15Ga∼0.85)2O3 (010) layers (14.4% Al 2O3 by energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy) grown at 650 °C were homogeneous. β-(Al∼0.20Ga∼0.80)2O3 (010) layers, however, displayed a phase transition. TEM images of a β-(Al∼0.15Ga∼0.85)2O3/Ga2O3 (010) superlattice grown at 650 °C showed abrupt layer interfaces and high alloy homogeneity.
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are attractive candidates for flexible display and lighting panels due to their high contrast ratio. However, the materials in an OLED are oxidized by very small quantities of moisture. Therefore, flexible OLEDs require flexible, thin-film, encapsulation. The authors introduce a set of three techniques for measuring the solubility and diffusion coefficient of water in a permeation barrier layer that is a SiO2-silicone hybrid made by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The techniques are secondary ion mass spectrometry, and measurements of electrical capacitance and of film stress. The measurements were carried out on samples exposed to water or steam at temperatures between 65 and 200 °C. From the resulting values of water solubility, diffusion coefficient, and their thermal activation energies, the authors calculate the time one monolayer of water will take to permeate through the bulk of the film. For a 3 μm thick film held at 38 °C and 90% relative humidity, the time is 13 years.
The topographic and electronic structure of cleaved SrTiO3(001) surfaces were studied, employing samples that either had or had not been coated with Ti on their outer surfaces prior to fracture. In both cases, SrO- and TiO2-terminated terraces were present on the cleavage surface, enabling in situ studies on either termination. However, the samples coated with Ti prior to fracture were found to yield a rougher morphology on TiO2-terminated terraces as well as a higher density of oxygen vacancies during an annealing (outgassing) step following the coating. The higher density of oxygen vacancies in the bulk of the Ti-coated samples also provides higher conductivity, which, in turn, improves a sensitivity of the spectroscopy and reduces the effect of tip-induced band bending. Nonetheless, similar spectral features, unique to each termination, were observed for samples both with and without the Ti coating. Notably, with moderate-temperature annealing following fracture, a strong discrete peak in the conductance spectra, arising from oxygen vacancies, was observed on the SrO-terminated terraces. This peak appears at slightly different voltages for coated and uncoated samples, signifying a possible effect of tip-induced band bending.

Thermal chemistry of copper acetamidinate atomic layer deposition precursors on silicon oxide surfaces studied by XPSView Description Hide Description
The thermal surface chemistry of copper(I)-N,N′-di-sec-butylacetamidinate, [Cu( sBu-amd)]2, a metalorganic complex recently proposed for the chemical-based deposition of copper films, has been characterized on SiO2 films under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Initial adsorption at cryogenic temperatures results in the oxidation of the copper centers with Cu 2p3/2 XPS binding energies close to those seen for a +2 oxidation state, an observation that the authors interpret as the result of the additional coordination of oxygen atoms from the surface to the Cu atoms of the molecular acetamidinate dimer. Either heating to 300 K or dosing the precursor directly at that temperature leads to the loss of one of its two ligands, presumably via hydrogenation/protonation with a hydrogen/proton from a silanol group, or following a similar reaction on a defect site. By approximately 500 K the Cu 2p3/2, C 1s, and N 1s XPS data suggest that the remaining acetamidinate ligand is displaced from the copper center and bonds to the silicon oxide directly, after which temperatures above 900 K need to be reached to promote further (and only partial) decomposition of those organic moieties. It was also shown that the uptake of the Cu precursor is self-limiting at either 300 or 500 K, although the initial chemistry is somewhat different at the two temperatures, and that the nature of the substrate also defines reactivity, with the thin native silicon oxide layer always present on Si(100) surfaces being less reactive than thicker films grown by evaporation, presumably because of the lower density of surface nucleation sites.f

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) - Kendall Williams scored a season-high 24 points to help No. 25 New Mexico beat Indiana State 77-68 in overtime on Saturday.
Hugh Greenwood scored eight of his 14 points in overtime and Chad Adams added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Lobos (8-0), who squandered a 19-point lead in the second half, then outscored the Sycamores 13-4 in the extra period.
New Mexico won despite shooting 20 percent from the field in the second half. The Lobos outscored the Sycamores 28-18 from the free-throw line. Jake Odum led Indiana State with 25 points.
Manny Arop scored 17 points and Dawon Cummings added 10 for the Sycamores (4-2). Indiana State had won four straight since an 86-59 loss to UCLA in the opener.
New Mexico, coached by former Indiana University star Steve Alford, entered the game with victories over Connecticut and George Mason.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Investigators are trying to determine what led to the death of a South Texas soldier who was found in a stairwell outside his barracks.
Officials at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston on Monday identified the soldier as 28-year-old Spec. Ian Patrick Morgan. No hometown was immediately provided for Morgan, who was discovered early Sunday and pronounced dead at San Antonio Military Medical Center.
An autopsy has been ordered. Military criminal investigators have taken over the case, saying the nature and circumstances of the death are being investigated. No additional information was released Monday.
Morgan was assigned to U.S. Army North headquarters, 56th Signal Co.

Jorge Ramos: Debate Commission Stuck In 1950s
By editor
This year's presidential debates have no Latino moderators on the slate. So one network is taking matters into its own hands. Univision's Jorge Ramos is set to moderate discussions with each of the major party presidential candidates. He tells host Michel Martin it's time for the Commission on Presidential Debates to move into the 21st century.

However recently it's come to my attention that it is incredibly slow in updating feeds, it's as if they are reaching me at least an hour late. I cam noticing this after subscribing to my own Blogs RSS Feeds.
So I instantly thought this was my RSS Feed playing up, however I then checked all my Subscribed RSS Feeds and viewed their Websites and some where upto 3 hours out of date and nothing. With more News often being Posted and my RSS Feed just ignoring it for Hours then telling me.
I had NetNewsWire to update every 30 Mins, I even tried Manual Refreshing but it still wouldn't update? Does anyone know the Reason behind this or any fix that there is. As it's such a Handy little Application and I don't want to get Rid of it.....but this is coming frustrating.
Thinks I have tried
-Clearing Safari
-Resetting Safari
-Using Onyx to do Maintenance on my Mac
-Emptied NetNewsWire Cache
-Setting Refresh Time to Manual
None of those things worked, the RSS Feeds are still out of date in comparison to there Published Date by hours often. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Alot

Final Test
Parts List
I started out by deciding on a ported enclosure
for the woofers. The woofer Q (spec is .34, measured was .44) is
suitable for a ported design (optimal Q is about .32, Q's over .5
are too big for a reasonable ported system). Also, a ported design
is nice and flat in the low end and has good power handling. In
most cases the system will actually have a receiver generated crossover
at 80Hz or 100Hz (a typical dolby digital receiver) so the flat
response and good handling work well with the receiver to get a
total flat system response with good handling. In any case, most
movies will have very little deep bass in the non-subwoofer so our
very deep bass handling (which suffers in a ported system) will
be irrelevant.
We now create a new enclosure, put the PL18 in the
enclosure, and use Speaker Workshop to calculate ported designs.
Here's a chart showing the ported versus sealed enclosures
for the PL18 we've tested. The sealed response is good, but by using
the ported response we will get better system integration. For the
ported analysis I assume a series resistance of 0.4 ohms (a large
series inductor) and a port diameter of 2". These results are
from Calculate / Vented... in the enclosure menu.
Here are box results for two runs of the Vented...
dialog. As you can see the QB3 and C4 alignments are very similar
and both give good results. I plan on using the QB3 alignment because
I think it sounds slightly better than a C4 alignment but in this
case the difference is trivial.
I decided to place the port on the side of the enclosure.
This allows for easier room positioning, reduces midrange feed-through
of the port, and generally works better than any other port location.
I decided on a dual-woofer system (the D'Appolito
configuration) because it has good acoustic properties for home
theater and it can handle lots of power. Usually the woofers
are in parallel to minimize issues if they aren't matched. Since
I can hand match the drivers I put them in series so as to double
the impedance seen by the amplifier, making the speakers very easy
to drive by a typical 6-8 ohm rated amplifier.
Here's a drawing of the enclosure (click it for a
full-size view).
If I had it to do again I would make the woofers closer
together. I left space for the shelf to be misaligned, but in practice
the construction is so high precision that very little clearance
is needed for the shelf and the lower woofer could be moved up (although
this would increase near reflections).

It wore well for six and a half hours before it started to fade. As it is a basic shade, there are plenty of variations available — see comparison swatches.

Yeast rolls perfect with Cajun fare
By Pat Mozersky : September 13, 2012 : Updated: September 14, 2012 9:32pm
Photo By Tom Reel/San Antonio Express-News
Dinner rolls at Bourbon Street Seafood Cafe on September 11, 2012.
More Information
Dear Pat: I quite enjoy your food column in Sunday's Express-News! I recently ate the most delicious dinner rolls at Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen located at 1604 and Redland Road; they tasted homemade. Are you able to obtain the recipe? Thanks so much! I appreciate your efforts!
Jan Daniels
Dear Jan: Thanks for your kind words. The rolls at Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen are, indeed, made in-house, and served fresh from the oven. I'm delighted that general manager Pedro Lopez and chef Ramon Garcia are willing to share the recipe. It's hard to beat homemade bread, hot and steamy, just out of the oven.
The miracle of breadmaking never fails to enthrall me, and as it bakes, my mouth waters as the intoxicating aromas fill the kitchen. This is a relatively easy bread to make at home, too.
The restaurant's recipe begins with 18 pounds of flour, but I've reduced it down to a workable home-size recipe.
Chef Garcia mixes the ingredients in a large Hobart mixer. The home equivalent to the Hobart is a heavy-duty mixer such as KitchenAid.
The electric mixer is helpful, but hand kneading is always an option. This bread recipe has a higher than usual yeast content, so the rolls are ready for the oven much faster than you might expect.
They are also baked at a high temperature — 500 degrees — so the baking time is short as well. Near instant gratification!
The rolls are the ideal foil for the flavorful Cajun specialties, seafood and steaks, chops and poultry dishes served at the two Bourbon Street restaurant locations.
You might need to whip up some jambalaya, shrimp Creole or gumbo at home to go along with these homemade rolls.
Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen has two locations — 2815 N. Loop 1604 E. at Redland Road, and 24166 I-10 W., Suite 433, just south of Boerne Stage Road.

Monthly Archive for December, 2009
Dollhouse: 'That woman is gonna drag us straight to hell.'
Once again, I lament: Why, oh why, wasn't this show this good at the beginning of its run? Just the mere fact that I'm not going to be able to watch Enver Gjokaj on a weekly basis after January is wrong. I know he won't be nominated for an Emmy, but he should be. Victor's […] [Read More]
Dollhouse: 'He's 10x the man you are, and you are 40 guys.'
We revisit another two-episode installment in the Great "Dollhouse" Burnoff. This one was a quip-a-thon, and I had a hard time keeping up as the quotes went flying faster than I could write them down. I'll try to space them out. Topher is still smarting from Bennett's betrayal: "She totally went all Cylon on me." […] [Read More]
'Glee' Podcast: 'Sectionals'
Technically not the season finale, but with a four-month gap before "Glee" returns, "Sectionals" might as well have been. So today we bring it: killer commentary, laughs, tears and a photo autographed by a prominent "Glee" cast member. We Express-News office Gleeks talk "Sectionals" — Quinn's pregnancy secret exposed, Emma and Will, Sue and Rachel's […] [Read More]
Dollhouse: '…her bad guys are badder than my bad guys.'
As Fox burns off what remains of "Dollhouse," we were shown two episodes on Friday. Again, I lament that this show is going off the air just as it begins to gain steam. Since Joss likes to reuse actors from previous projects (hello, Summer Glau!), I'd like to suggest that he add Enver Gjokai to […] [Read More]

A UK court has ordered Apple to publicly admit key rival Samsung did not copy the iPad tablet in its own designs.
Under the order from UK High Court Judge Colin Birrs, Apple would be forced to publish details of its key loss in a patent battle against the South Korean manufacturer earlier this month on its website, Bloomberg reported.
Apple must also take out and pay for notices published in the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, as well as The Guardian's mobile magazine and T3.
The order from Birrs, who earlier this month ruled Samsung's tablets were unlikely to be confused with iPads because they were not as cool, was seen as a way of restoring the balance for the Korean company, whose victory against Apple was hollowed out by his choice of words.
Apple's lawyer in the patent case, Richard Hacon, protested that the order meant the California-based company would have to publish an advertisement for Samsung.
"No company likes to refer to a rival on its website," Hacon says.
Samsung said that "should Apple continue to make excessive legal claims based on such generic designs, innovation in the industry could be harmed and consumer choice unduly limited".
Lawyers for the Korean company had complained at the court hearing that statements made by Apple that Samsung had copied designs "caused real commercial harm".
Apple indicated that it would appeal Birss's initial decision.

A home draw with Norwich on New Year's Day saw Palace drop back into the Premier League's bottom three and a tricky third-round trip to The Hawthorns is unlikely to be the priority of manager Tony Pulis.
But centre-back Gabbidon reckons a win over the Baggies and an FA Cup run can give everyone a lift at Selhurst Park.
"Sometimes cup runs can help," he said. "It's something up to the manager whether he wants to change players, but sometimes when you're in a run of form you want to keep playing as well.
"You just look forward to the next game; it's one we want a good result from. I don't know what's in the manager's mind. At the end of the day, it's another game and one we want to win."
Gabbidon, who has played in every league game so far, is ready to welcome some new arrivals at Palace during the January transfer window.
"Competition is good for places, the new manager has come in and he's going to have his own ideas," he added.
"There will be areas we need to improve on and the boss will have his eye on certain players he wants to bring into the team.
"We'll see what happens in the next few weeks. If we can bring two or three more bodies in, that can improve the team. Hopefully we can then kick on for the second half of the season."

Six Musicians That Rule Despite Their Music
Finland is home to many brilliant metal and punk bands: Demilich, Convulse, Amorphis, Lama, Appendix, Rattus and absolutely not HIM (His Infernal Majesty). However, the innovators behind "love metal" and the moronic Heartagram emblem make this list for one reason: the members' devotion to Musta Paraati, a fairly unknown post-punk band that was only active for two years. HIM singer Ville Valo even played two of their songs during a 2001 tribute to the band. In American terms, this would probably be the equivalent to Linkin Park covering Suicide. Ville Valo is a big King Diamond fan, which isn't too crazy, and rather commendable for a dude who makes music like this.
1. John Mayer
John Mayer is a tank-top wearing, ukulele playing, koi-fish tattoo having, certifiable asshole. "Oh, but he's such a talented guitar player! Did you know he can harblegarflebuggle duggle in goof-minor?" It doesn't matter how gifted he is on the six string -- his songs are pillowy piles of dump. Whipped feces.
With the same sentiment as those "I'm not A BITCH, I'm THE BITCH," bumper stickers at novelty stores proclaim, John Mayer is THE DOUCHEBAG of the music industry. He's proclaimed that his biggest dream is to write pornography and compared his penis to a white supremacist. Later, he referred to his mouth as the Don King of his penis. I could go on, but there's actually numerous lists (including an excellent Tumblr) out there devoted to cataloging John Mayer's worst quotes.
But actually, his douchebaggery is his most valuable asset. Mayer is living proof that you actually don't have to have any good qualities to be successful. That kind of thing gives hope to us all.

It scares us to think what a liberal Democrat might offer in the way of regulation if Bloomberg isn't one as so many Republicans have parroted over the last ten plus years.
Today word leaked that New York City Department of Health is considering banning "Happy Hour" because it contributes to "heavy drinking among adults."
High-level conversations have gone beyond merely "throwing pencils on the ceiling and seeing what sticks," another Health source revealed.
Sources said the happy-hour ban is being pushed by the agency's marathon-running boss, Commissioner Thomas Farley, and is serious enough for one source to say the alcohol lobby had better find itself a good lawyer.
Agency spokesman Sam Miller denied existing "plans to pursue any policy around discount-alcohol sale."
But sources said the anti-booze sentiment at the agency has reached a fever pitch, with officials recently asking state officials about the "legality of liquor in ice cream," referring to potent products infused with bourbon, rum and tequila.
A prohibition on discounted drinks is solidly in line with Farley's goals, which he outlined in his "Take Care New York 2012" report.
As if banning smoking in just about every location in New York wasn't enough now Nanny Bloomberg is out to regulate another "sin" into extinction.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 3, 1999 While the world is stunned by some of the acts of ethnic violence still occurring in Kosovo, NATO officials are pointing to significant accomplishments since the end of Operation Allied Force in June.
Six months ago, 850,000 Kosovars had fled the province and another half million had deserted their homes and fled to the mountains. Neighboring Albania, Bosnia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia faced the humanitarian crisis of dealing with the refugees. Countries around the world began offering safe haven.
NATO officials paint a much different picture today. The alliance's Kosovo Force of almost 50,000 troops from 34 nations, including about 6,000 Americans, has a "robust presence" throughout the province, they said.
NATO forces have been working closely with the U.N. Mission in Kosovo. Officials said electrical service has resumed in the province and now-revived electrical pumps have restored water supplies for the population as well.
NATO's home-heating "winterization" project is about 70 percent complete. German Lt. Gen. Klaus Reinhardt, commander of the Kosovo Force, defined the goal as all Kosovar families being able to heat at least one room of their homes. The alliance is seeking monetary help from the international community to complete the project.
The general told NATO defense ministers meeting here Dec. 2 that more than 810,000 refugees have returned to the province. The weekly return rate of about 4,500 refugees includes an increasing number of ethnic Serbs, he said.
Reinhardt's troops have demined 544 schools, allowing classes to resume in the province. Explosive ordnance disposal teams report clearing 7,408 bomblets, 6,130 anti- personnel mines and 3,481 anti-tank mines.
The Kosovo Force reports it has a handle on provincial security and that the general trend for crime is down. In his update, Reinhardt noted his troops are taking up slack caused by a shortage of police. When NATO moved in last summer, the murder rate in Kosovo was an estimated 190 per 100,000 population -- the rate today is 25 per 100,000, or down more than 85 percent.

Wave Hill
BRONX. In the mid-1960s, this surreal 28-acre estate, welcomed the public for the first time. What those visitors discovered was a piece of history unique in the Big Apple: beautiful Glyndor House, Georgian Revival-style home overlooking the Hudson River, and the Greek Revival-style Wave Hill House, both of which are surrounded by rolling meadows, serene woodlands and well-preserved gardens and courtyards. The homes have had a veritable who's who of residents, including the Roosevelt Family (1870) and Mark Twain (1901). After touring the grounds, plan to take lunch at the Wave Hill Café, which offers breathtaking views of the Hudson River and Palisades.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 10, 1996 NATO forces in Bosnia can be proud of six months of success, but the second half of the year-long peace mission may become somewhat more turbulent, according to U.S. Defense Secretary William J. Perry.
During a visit to allied bases in Hungary and Bosnia July 2 and 4, Perry commended the international peace force for completing the military tasks outlined in the Dayton peace agreement. He said the mission has been "a spectacular success story" due to the troops' professionalism, training and leadership.
At Camp Demi, Bosnia, Perry told American troops they'd done a "hell of a job" separating the former warring factions and overseeing the exchange of territory and the return of heavy weapons to barracks and cantonment areas.
"Everybody had forecast that you wouldn't be able to do this, that when you came into Bosnia, you'd meet armed resistance," he said. "Well, we came in heavy. We came in well-trained, well-disciplined. We came in with robust rules of engagement, and there wasn't anybody wanting to mess with the 1st Armored Division.
"All of you can be very proud of what you have done here," he said. "You are making history -- a history you can be proud of, a history you'll be telling your children and grandchildren about."
But, Perry warned, the year-long mission is just past the halfway point, and there's still hard work to be done in the months ahead.
"Between now and the [Bosnians' September] elections, life will be tougher than the last couple of months," Perry said. "The factors causing turbulence in the country -- the resettling of refugees, the runup to the election, the activities of the war crime tribunal -- all of those things are going to cause turmoil, and it is going to make maintaining security tougher."
While plans call for starting to draw down the force after the September elections, Perry said, a force capable of protecting itself will be maintained until Dec. 20, the date the mission officially ends. He also urged the troops to stay alert in the months ahead and to care for each other as the service members in Saudi Arabia did following the terrorist attack at Khobar Towers.
In Taszar, Hungary, Perry told U.S. troops the IFOR success to date has allowed changes in force structure. Although the total number of people remains the same, two armored units are being replaced by military police units.
"It's easy to forget now that when our forces came in here, many people were predicting that we would have to fight a war," Perry said. "We brought in a force that was sufficiently strong enough to meet that contingency." He said the IFOR mission no longer requires the armored support.
U.S. Army Gen. George A. Joulwan, supreme allied commander, Europe, accompanying the secretary, added that a needs analysis of the next six months led to the force change. He said adjustments will occur throughout the NATO force, not just to American units.
Whether NATO will have a continued presence in Bosnia is yet to be determined, Perry said. NATO ministers meeting in late September will look at the situation and decide, he said.
Perry ensured his enthusiasm for IFOR's successes wasn't lost on those deployed to Hungary in support of the operations.
"Nothing happens in Bosnia without your efforts," he said. "This base has given indispensable support to the IFOR operation. This is the vital link in the chain. You have given the Bosnians a chance for a peaceful life and a chance to rebuild their country. It's still a hard road ahead for the Bosnians, but you have made a difference and your country thanks you for that."
Perry also thanked the Hungarians. "Our successes in this region symbolize the kind of support we have in Hungary -- not just the facilities and the business cooperation, but the warm hospitality the Hungarian people give us," he said. "Our soldiers will never forget the warm hospitality you've rendered."[Air Force Staff Sgt. Steven J. Merrill of the 4400th Operations Squadron (Provisional) contributed to this article.]

Three charged in theft of police equipment
The Union County Sheriff's Office has arrested three men in connection with a string of vehicle break-ins and larcenies.
Two of the vehicles that were broken into belong to Mecklenburg County law enforcement officers living in Union County, according to a statement from the Union County Sheriff's Office.
Sgt. Kevin Plyler and Sgt. Ben Baker are credited with breaking the case. Plyler noticed police equipment and riot gear being sold on a local classifieds web page and after further investigation, the sergeants were able to identify the items as being stolen goods.
A meeting was arranged under the guise of purchasing stolen equipment and William Patrick Curry, Jr., 39, of Monroe arrived in possession of the stolen police gear. Further investigation identified Matthews Aaron Johnson, 18, of Indian Trail and Joshua Charles Cornell, 21, of Monroe as accomplices in the case.
Additional stolen property has also been recovered and includes a laptop computer belonging to Porter Ridge High School, according to the statement.
The stolen police gear included helmets, shin guards and vests, which are used as riot gear, Capt. Ronnie Whitaker of the Union County Sheriff's Office said.
Cornell has been charged with the theft of one police officer's duty weapon as well as four counts of breaking and entering motor vehicle, three counts of felony larceny, two counts of felony possession of stolen goods, possession of a firearm by convicted felon and two counts of misdemeanor larceny. Curry has been charged with felony possession of stolen goods. Johnson has been charged with felony possession of stolen goods, felony receiving stolen goods, possession of firearm by convicted felon and obtaining property by false pretenses. As of Friday afternoon Cornell was in the Union County Jail under a $32,000 secured bond and has a Dec. 3 court date. Johnson was and Curry also have a Dec. 3 court date but no bond information was available for them as Friday afternoon, according to a statement from the Union County Sheriff's Office.

Gear Question
Greg Crites
Hello, for the longest time, these Roc...
Hello, for the longest time, these Roc pants were $29.99 or so. I ordered 4 pairs. then you dropped price down to 23.99 and I thought that was really a good deal, so when I got ready to order 4 more pairs, you jumped the price to $40.00. I was "furious". Don't you know times are hard for alot of us hard working people, and we are desperately looking for a good deal. Why couldn't you have just left it alone.now I won't buy from you all again. the price should just be the price!!
Gone Fishing
Greg, sale prices do not stay on sale forever and generally return to the suggested price. If you find a lower price at another site or let them know that it was recently on sale they may honor that price. It wouldn't hurt to talk to a sales rep and discuss it.

Busch Gardens
- Type: Amusement Parks
- Time to Spend: Half Day to Full Day
|Overall Rating:
|About these ratings
One of the real perks of this theme park, located southeast of Williamsburg, is that it truly does have something for all ages to enjoy. That's not just a PR pitch; toddlers should like the Sesame Street Forest of Fun and the chance to meet some of that show's most beloved characters. Bigger kids can get up close and personal at animal encounter exhibits like Lorikeet Glen and Wolf Valley (under supervision, of course). Teenagers are the prime candidates to stand in line for thrilling coasters like the Alpengeist, the Griffon or the Loch Ness Monster. Finally, adults flock to the themed country lands, especially the Oktoberfest village and its beer gardens.
Recent park-goers describe the grounds as well maintained, though they do occasionally complain about the cleanliness of other areas. So says a Yelp.com traveler: "The bathrooms can be scarier than the rides at times. Just be sure to squat, don't sit."
Others lament the hefty admission fees. Busch Gardens, open for the late spring and all of summer from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., charges approximately $64 for adults to enter. Children ages 3 to 9 face a fee of nearly $54. Also note that parking will set you back about $13. Consider purchasing a multiple-day Williamsburg Flex Ticket that allows you to visit several area attractions, including Busch Gardens, for about $177. For more general information on park pricing, show times and hours, visit the official website.

James Morone to Discuss "The Politics of Sin" on April 2 at Pomona College
James Morone, author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book Hellfire Nation: The Politics of Sin in American History (Yale University Press, 2003), will speak on the same topic as part of the Pomona College lecture series "Truth, Justice and the American Way?" on Thursday, April 2, at 7:30 p.m. The program will be held in the College's Smith Campus Center, Rose Hills Theatre (170 E. Sixth St., Claremont).
In Hellfire Nation, Morone examines how moral politics have so profoundly shaped America, despite the Constitution's clear separation of church and state. In addition to the Pulitzer nomination, the book was named a "Top Ten of 2003" by Christianity Today and an "Outstanding Book of 2003" by the San Jose Mercury News.
Morone is a professor of political science and urban studies at Brown University and a leading scholar of political culture, political development, and health policy. His previous books include The Democratic Wish: Popular Participation and the Limits of American Government (Basic Books, 1990; revised edition, Yale University Press, 1998), which was selected by the New York Times as a "Notable Book of 1991" and named the best book in American national policy by the American Political Science Association in 1991. His is also a co-editor, with Lawrence Jacobs, of Wealthy, Healthy and Fair: The Politics of Health Care for a Good Society (Oxford University Press, 2005).
Morone's next book, The Heart of Power: Health and Politics in the Oval Office, co-authored with David Blumenthal, will be released in June 2009 by the University of California Press. Reviewing that book Senator Edward M. Kennedy says, "David Blumenthal and James Morone break new ground in our understanding of health policymaking in the White House, notably the tie between presidential policy actions and the personal medical problems that have faced each of our Presidents since Franklin D. Roosevelt."
For more information or questions about the James Morone event, call (909) 607-8296.

To ensure that your cavy lives a long, happy and prosperous life it is essential that your cavy maintains a healthy diet. A typical guinea pig diet consists of fresh water, hay, pellets, vitamin C and some fresh vegetables.
There are a few ways that your cavy gets Vitamin C. Guinea Pigs get Vitamin C from eating fresh vegetables and pellets; however this may not be enough. Guinea Pigs need approximately 10-30 mg of Vitamin C on a daily basis to prevent getting scurvy. If you feel that your guinea pig is not getting enough Vitamin C through their regular diet than we recommend giving them a small dosage of liquid vitamin C, or break up a small chewable vitamin C tablet and feed it to them directly.
It is important not to mix Vitamin C (or any supplements, or medications) in with the guinea pigs water. Vitamin C will change the flavor of the water and guinea pigs will not drink it. Furthermore, if they do drink it, they may not be drinking enough of it.
Change the water daily, replenish with fresh cold water; water from the faucet works just fine. You want to avoid distilled water, water with too much calcium in it and water with a high mineral content. The best way to supply the water is by using a vertical hanging water bottle to prevent spills and contamination.
Guinea Pig food should be stored in a small ceramic, hard plastic bowl or in a small food storage bin specifically designed for small animals. It is recommended that Guinea Pig Food gets changed daily and the bowl is cleaned daily as well. For this reason it is good to have 2-3 bowls for daily replenishment.
When selecting the proper food for your cavy read the ingredients carefully. Look for a guinea pig pellet food that has vitamin C in it, and avoid foods with a high amount of corn. Typically a cavy should eat 1/8 of a cup of pellets a day (check the package for recommended serving sizes) along with hay and some vegetables. Food should be stored in a cool dark place for proper preservation of freshness.
Most guinea pig pellets are primarily alfalfa which is great for young guinea pigs, and pregnant guinea pigs. Once your cavy has reached a year old switching to Timothy pellets is a good idea as it is lower in calcium which will prevent any issues with urinary-tract infections.
An adequate amount of hay should always be provided at all times and is good for guinea pigs of all ages. Hay is not a substitute for pellets, and pellets are not a substitute for hay. Hay is essential to the diet of a guinea pig because it helps them naturally digest their food better, increase their fiber intake and reduce urinary-tract infections. A simple wire rack can be used to house the hay in the guinea pig cage.
There are two main types of Hay; alfalfa hay which is great for young guinea pigs and malnourished, pregnant and/or nursing cavys and timothy hay which is best for adult guinea pigs. Alfalfa has a high amount of calcium so it should only be given to adult guinea pigs once in awhile as a treat.
One of the biggest cornerstones in your guinea pigs diet is fresh vegetables. Cavies should slowly be introduced to fresh vegetables (to avoid digestive problems), once cavies are familiar with vegetables you can start to mix a variety of them into your cavys diet.
Vegetables that guinea pigs can eat:
Romaine lettuce, green and red pepper, spinach, carrots, tomatos, cantaloupe, dandelion greens, corn husks, clover, and many more.
This is just a short list of the vegetables your cavy can eat, but be creative there are many more that are not on this list that your guinea pig may really enjoy. Its important that the vegetables you serve your guinea pig are fresh; dont give them spoiled/wilted foods.
Nutrition is single most important element that can be given to your guinea pig. Nutrients are essential to your guinea pigs well being and long lived health. This is why a combination of pellets, hay, fresh water and fresh vegetables should always be supplied to your cavy. The point is, a variety of foods should be supplied at all times to give your guinea pig the best nutrients they can receive. The diet your guinea pig eats affects their energy, skin, teeth, soft coat, skin, reproductive system, and their immunity system that is needed to fight disease and infections.
What can be supplied to your cavy really depends on your beliefs, culture, traditions and most importantly the cost to obtain such nutritious foods. Not everyone can afford, or even have the availability, to supply a great deal of any of the foods we have mentioned. These foods can be costly but there are a lot of high quality products available that can take care of your guinea pigs daily nutrients while not breaking your budget.
Its important to remember that guinea pigs are herbivores, meaning they are only supposed to eat primarily plants, and nutrients from plants. So do not feed your cavy meat, mineral wheels and dairy products. These foods can be detrimental to their health and well being.

Adored by the clichť spewing ex-footballer dominated punditry which rules the airwaves, loathed by fans of rival clubs alike, Stoke City are one of the most infuriating teams in the game.
Shirt pulling, over the top challenges, boring football, gamesmanship. Stoke City practise the lot. At Manchester City on Tuesday they were up to their usual tricks, taking ages over goal kicks and time wasting from the very start of the game. Their very limited ambitions explain why they have conceded so few goals this season. Frequently the last team on Match of the Day, they are a side few enjoy watching, and who should be surprised about that?
They are one of the most excruciatingly dull team to watch. They have a manager who continually complains about referees and the injustices going against his team. He complains about diving, yet turns a blind eye to his teamís transgressions. The over the top tacking, the time wasting. There is always a complaint about something where Tony Pulis is concerned. He whined about the gulf in financial resources between his own side and Manchester City this week, yet Stoke City have a net spend higher than three quarters of teams in the Premier League in recent years. Manchester United have a lower net spend than Stoke. Stoke waste their money signing players like Cameron Jerome, Kenwyne Jones, Peter Crouch and Wilson Palacios. All tall players who can win a header, but Crouch aside lacking in technical ability for the most part.
This is a team built with vast resources, who play the most dull football in the league. Swansea City have spent relatively little by comparison, yet who produce magnificent football. Neither side are going to win the league or qualify for Europe, and neither will be relegated. But you can bet your house on which the neutral would rather pay to watch.
As it is, a fair few would probably pay not to watch Stoke City. There is so little to credit about the way they do things. From the lack of style, lack of ambition, brutish thuggish approach, the old school rule bending foreigner bashing mentality, and the whining about a lack of money whilst spending more than almost every other team in the league.
And which other group of supporters, aside from Stoke Cityís, would boo a player for having his leg broken by one of their own? They claim that they boo him because he did not accept Ryan Shawcrossí apology, but who can blame Aaron Ramsey for that? Football is in a confused state when it believes a crass challenge which breaks a playerís leg can be resolved with a handshake. An apology sometimes is not good enough.
This is a club that is slowly being reviled by the common football fan. And with good reason.
