Patience: it is not recognised as a virtue in football. Certainly not in the stands at the Emirates. There the regulars had grown tired of the wait for something to match the trophy accumulating days of the mid-noughties. Never mind hanging on for something – anything - to happen, fans like Piers Morgan moaned incessantly about the failure of an institution loaded with the necessary cash to make the investment to deliver jam today. Morgan's tweets last season boiled with a fuming impatience. He wanted Arsene Wenger to accept that his time was over, that things had changed, that he had been left behind in the managerial race. The final straw for Morgan was when the manager signed up Aaron Ramsey – a player he had called "a complete and utter liability"- on a lengthy new deal. "How on earth did Ramsey just get a 5yr contract? Unbelievable," the former Mirror man tweeted last season.
The new season has barely got underway. But already there are signs that it is Wenger who was right and Morgan wrong all along. Who would have thought it? The bloke who works with the players every day turns out to know rather more than a bloke who watches on the telly from LA: there's a shock.
Arsenal on Wednesday night were everything Wenger has claimed for them over the past couple of years, without, it has to be said, much evidence. When they were losing to Blackburn and Bradford he talked endlessly about spirit and commitment. Nobody except him could see it. Many thought he was simply deluded.
Well, it was all there to be seen in the building site that is the Stade Velodrome. Arsenal, resilient, spirited and resourceful, took their chances to win a tough European assignment against an organised, muscular Marseille side: not even Piers Morgan could argue with that.
And at the heart of their performance was Ramsey. As he has all season, the Welshman gave a level of performance that few observers thought was within him. Morgan's complete and utter liability ran the game, covering so much ground in the process he could match Mo Farah for his distance running. Plus, he scored again. Indeed, you could say that Ramsey – who has scored more times already this season that he had in the previous two and half years of his Arsenal career – has embarked on a scoring Groundhog Day. It appears to be the same goal he keeps getting, driving in from the edge of the box to slam the ball home from distance. It is the mark of a player oozing confidence.
So where has that come from? While it is easy to mock Morgan – and that should not necessarily stop us – he was by no means alone in his disparagement of the young player. The Ramsey of this season looks an entirely different proposition from previous incarnations. Last season no-one was claiming – as the Daily Mail's Neil Ashton did this week – that there is no better central midfielder in Europe at the moment than Ramsey.
Theo Walcott reckons that the player benefits from having the organising voice of Mathieu Flamini constantly chatting alongside him. Others talk about the upsurge in self-belief that comes from a sizeable pay rise. But to what did Wenger attribute the change?
"It was decided to be patient with him," the manager said.
Well, he would say that wouldn't he? Yet Wenger's calm patience is getting its reward this season. It is not just Ramsey. Arsenal are at last looking like the team he claimed they always could be. Walcott has added a ruthless finish to his searing pace: these days he no longer forgets to take the ball with him when he belts forward.
Kieran Gibbs – who many a manager might have dispatched to the boondocks of the Championship after his horrible time at Old Trafford two seasons ago – is maturing into a proper full back, the natural heir to Ashley Cole in England's back line.
And Ramsey? Well, buoyed by the confidence shown in him by his manager in the award of that contract so derided Morgan, Ramsely is just brilliant. His form is compensating for the fact as yet Mesut Ozil and Jack Wilshire seem to be trying to occupy the same spaces as each other. When all three are firing simultaneously there is only one adjective that would suffice to describe the possibilities of that midfield: wow.
Sure not everything is great about this Arsenal side. Several issues remain which frankly might have been addressed in the transfer window. The centre backs look like a goal waiting to be conceded, the keeper is a slip of concentration away from calamity and don't even ask what would happen if Olivier Giroud tweaked a hamstring. Even Wenger's unfathomable reserves of patience would be tested were he obliged to rely on Nicklas Bendtner up front.
But what is clear is that there is a pattern emerging. Finally, it appears, Arsenal have a team that could mount a challenge. Arsene, it appears, knew all along. Even in football, patience can, eventually, have its reward.

The Tudors: The Complete Story of England's Most Notorious Dynasty (Paperback)
Acclaimed historian G. J. Meyer provides a fresh look at the fabled Tudor dynasty—and some of the most enigmatic figures ever to rule a country. In 1485, Henry Tudor, whose claim to the English throne was so weak as to be almost laughable, nevertheless sailed from France with a ragtag army to take the crown from the family that had ruled England for almost four centuries. Fifty years later, his son, Henry VIII, aimed to seize even greater powers—ultimately leaving behind a brutal legacy that would blight the lives of his children and the destiny of his country. Edward VI, a fervent believer in reforming the English church, died before realizing his dream. Mary I, the disgraced daughter of Catherine of Aragon, tried and failed to reestablish the Catholic Church and produce an heir, while Elizabeth I sacrificed all chance of personal happiness in order to survive.
The Tudors presents the sinners and saints, the tragedies and triumphs, the high dreams and dark crimes, of this enthralling era.
About the Author
G. J. Meyer is a professional writer whose bylines have appeared in the "New York Times, Los Angeles Times, "the" Boston Globe, Harper' s," and many other newspapers and magazines. While working for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, he was awarded a Nieman Fellowship by Harvard University. He is the author of two nonfiction books, "The Memphis Murders," recipient of an Edgar Award for Nonfiction, and "Executive Blues," Meyer lives in New York City.

I'm sure it is a myth in regards of Ronaldo paying back the Ł80 million in shirt sales but if one considers the cost of production versus how much the retail is then I think it's logical to assume there's huge profit there and a large slice goes directly to the club and some to the player. I'm happy to be proved wrong.
And that goes double for what I'm about to say, as this is really just a gut feeling that I can't support with numbers, but I strongly suspect that Man U's massive revenue over the last twenty years has had more to do with the success Fergie has brought them than anything else. I really do find it very surprising how low is salary is comparatively. And yes, it may well be supplemented with bonuses but still, I'm sure everyone else gets those also.I actually entirely agree that Fergie doesn't get paid enough for his contribution but his longevity has seen him be paid a very handsome sum, even if he's probably wasted it all on the horses and cheap wine. Not that means he doesn't deserve parity either. Saying that, presumably one pays a larger rate to protect the employment of that person as the manager, yet Fergie is never going to manage another club so you don't have to worry about another club coming in and tapping him up.

Football is more like having the talent in a business being the most important thing rather than the CEO. Yet the CEO gets treated like any other business, in that he gets sacked when things go wrong and the players hide away.
Not to detract from the actual point you were making though, I'm just bored.

It's not news that is relevant to the Premier League Thread.
At least not for long.
He'd be crazy to go there. They have a nice little setup at Brighton, with a decent stadium and a growing fanbase. He probably has more chance of managing a Premier League team next season if he stays where he is.
I can't really see why he would chuck that in to manage the Wigan of the south.
I like Poyet a lot and thought he got a bit of a rough ride at Spurs being attached to Ramos's wagon. Would quite happily see him back again at some point in the future if he continues to prove he's a good manager.
Reading would be a bad move.
I believe it does yes.
Yup, think so.

Question, does the increase in TV money that kicks in next season affect parachute payment for clubs relegated this season?
It just builds the argument for all players to have rolling one-year contracts for me. Then they can get rid of parachute payments (and transfer windows, and transfer fees).

Ah topical. Thanks for that link.
The parachute payments are bad enough but the idea of Reading, QPR and Villa being given 23 million each next season for being the three worst teams in the league is just amazing.
Sorry Mr_Sleep
It is a ridiculous system "Well done for failing and not having the business sense to protect against the potential to drop down a league - have a pot of cash for being shite."
@jamievilla it's not ridiculous. The gulf in income is so vast that not supporting relegated teams would mean a: relegated clubs would be very likely to go bust, and b: the number of teams who could successfully stay up after promotion would finish as they could not risk new signings. Creating a 17 team PL with 3 rotating teams at the bottom.
Historically the parachute payments haven't proven to be that much of an advantage outside of the balance sheet. Every now and then you get a team like West Ham who are willing to risk their financial future trying to bounce straight back but that is quite rare.
@TheSaint it's not an advantage for the Chanpionship, but a way of allowing promoted teams to invest without the fear of a total income meltdown if they fail.

Cut To The Chase
By Julie Kistler
Harlequin Enterprises, Ltd.Copyright © 2004 Harlequin Enterprises, Ltd.
All right reserved.
Chapter OneAbra sank into a seat in the waiting area near her gate. She was ages early for her flight, and the place was deserted, with not even an agent behind the counter yet. Good. She could relax.
When she left the city, she'd rented a car and just driven blindly away, anywhere, finally dropping it in New Jersey. After that, she'd taken a train to Philly and a bus to Baltimore, and now she was flying to Chicago from there. It wasn't as if it would be hard to follow her trail, even though her hair was now a different color and cut, she had no makeup on, and she was wearing a baseball cap she'd just purchased in the concourse. No one in the world would expect Abra Holloway to have brown hair, let alone an Orioles baseball cap.
But to trail her, someone would have to want to. And who would want to?
She leaned back into her uncomfortable seat, clutching her boarding pass. Gone were the days when she flew first class and flight attendants brought her extra drinks and other passengers sneaked up from coach to ask for her autograph.
"Better get used to it. You're flying coach from now on," she told herself sternly, sticking the ticket back in her bag and pulling out a book to read till her flight.
But the book was about a dazzling television star with a terrible secret, and she couldn't imagine why she'd bought it. Who wanted to read about that?
She glanced up at the TV mounted above the seats, almost afraid to look. Phew. Just a piece about a teapot exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Cute and wacky teapots. Nothing scary. But then the perky anchorwoman seemed to stare right out of the TV, straight at Abra, when she announced, "Sources in New York City report that media darling and lifestyle expert Abra Holloway has disappeared."
Abra gulped. She looked around. Except for a man with a rolling garbage can headed to clean the ladies' room, there was no one around. No one looking at her or noticing that her face was reflected on the monitor over her head.
"Although she was scheduled to appear on The Shelby Show last week as she has every Thursday for the past two years," the anchorwoman continued, "host Shelby Marino revealed that 'Abra Cadabra,' as fans call her, would not be dispensing advice that day. Today, when another Thursday came and went without Holloway, and no explanation was offered for her failure to appear, reporters from several major news outlets began to make efforts to contact her. Shelby Marino and producers on The Shelby Show had no comment, but sources close to Holloway have indicated that she has apparently left the show and the city without a trace."
What sources "close to Holloway"? Abra couldn't think of one person besides Shelby she would call remotely close. There was Julian, of course. The world thought he was close, given the carefully crafted image they had portrayed. But Abra knew better.
Breaking into her thoughts, the woman on the television added, "There is no evidence of foul play. In fact, there is very little evidence at all. Her fiancé, millionaire businessman and philanthropist Julian Wheelwright, spoke to the press earlier today."
Abra's heart beat faster, but her eyes were riveted to the TV. Oh, lord, lord, lord. Not Julian. He looked as smoothly handsome as ever, with his blond hair perfectly styled, as always, and his blue eyes so very sincere.
Damn him and his blue eyes both. "Never trust a man with blue eyes," she muttered. She'd had longterm relationships with a total of two men in her entire life, and they'd both had gorgeous blue eyes. They'd also both turned out to be beyond redemption, beneath contempt. Never trust a man with blue eyes. She promised to cross-stitch that motto onto a sampler and take it everywhere she went. As soon as she got somewhere she could find cross-stitch supplies and safely sit around and stitch without anyone bothering her.
She felt like bursting into tears. Oh, jeez. If brown hair and baseball caps were weird for Abra Holloway, weeping in public was really beyond the pale. She gazed, transfixed, at the TV. She didn't want to see Julian, and yet she couldn't look away. What would he say? Why did he give a press conference? Why couldn't he just keep his damn mouth shut?
"I understand that Abra's many fans are surprised and worried, but there's no need," Julian offered, sending the viewing public a serene smile. "Yes, of course we're still engaged, and no, nothing is wrong."
Nothing wrong? Julian's pants ought to be on fire for that one.
"She simply felt a little stressed," he went on, "a little overwhelmed because of mounting duties on The Shelby Show and discussions of her own daily syndicated series. She decided to take a break to get her plans in order."
Her mouth fell open at the boldness of his lies. Still engaged? After she'd thrown his ring at his brilliant, lying white teeth? Stressed and overwhelmed because of The Shelby Show? As if. That show was a walk in the park.
And now he was saying that she'd left him a note and told him not to worry, that she loved him and would be back soon. All a pack of lies!
"I know and trust Abra completely," he finished, in a firm and certain tone, "and if she says this is the right thing for her at this moment, then it is. As her fans will tell you, Abra is very focused and she always knows what's right."
Abra didn't know what to think. Well, at least this way maybe no one would be looking for her. Maybe she should be thanking him for trying to take the heat out of her vanishing act.
"He probably just wants to clear himself." She glared at his handsome image. "I hope the police think he murdered me. It would serve him right."
But his face on the screen had been replaced by hers again. She saw footage of herself on The Shelby Show, with her beautifully styled honey-blond hair brushing her shoulders, her skin flawless, her posture perfect. She looked so confident and assured, smiling sympathetically at a guest who wanted help with a husband hooked on outdoor sex. The woman's description of her husband's desire to make love up against the Washington Monument elicited giggles from the audience, but didn't faze the amazingly cool and composed Abra Holloway one bit.
Had that only been a few months ago? Could things possibly have been as simple then as they looked on TV?
"Holloway first came to prominence with her weekly visits to The Shelby Show," the newswoman went on, "as she offered advice and counsel on everything from how to bring order to messy closets to how to acquire better self-esteem and find the love of your life. She acquired the nickname Abra Cadabra because of her apparent magic touch when it came to helping people sort through their problems."
Abra frowned. She hated that nickname. But it only got weirder after that. Someone she had never seen, someone who was identified as her biggest fan, popped up on the TV.
"I am very worried," this stranger confided. "This isn't like the Abra I know. Why would she run away?"
"Who are you? You don't know me," Abra argued back at the television.

Perspective is everything, especially when it comes to examining your beliefs. Are you a soldier, prone to defending your viewpoint at all costs -- or a scout, spurred by curiosity? Julia Galef examines the motivations behind these two mindsets and how they shape the way we interpret information, interweaved with a compelling history lesson from 19th-century France. When your steadfast opinions are tested, Galef asks: "What do you most yearn for? Do you yearn to defend your own beliefs or do you yearn to see the world as clearly as you possibly can?"

"A few studies have found little difference in retention when students read on a screen versus in print, though one, from Norway's University of Stavanger, did suggest that high-school students remember less when they read a text digitally.
Some evidence exists that when students multitask (or are faced with the temptations of internet access), their comprehension dips. But as of yet, it's unclear what role screens play in that outcome."
From mediasmarts
In this lesson students consider the meaning of the words "bias" and "prejudice" and consider how bias may be found even at the level of individual words due to connotation. Students are introduced to the key media literacy concept that media contain ideological messages and have social and political implications in considering why it is particularly important to consider possible bias in news reporting. The key concept that each medium has a distinct aesthetic form is introduced as students learn about the "inverted pyramid" structure of news reporting and consider how this may lead to bias. Students then evaluate a variety of news sources with regards to the degree of bias and then demonstrate their understanding of the concept by creating an intentionally biased news report.

Unless you work in a Waldorf school where smartphones are banned, chances are you've seen your students video chat with friends when their time might be better spent working on homework. Video chat can, however, support classroom learning. It's not impossible.Video technology has changed quite a bit

Only four apply to higher ed, but includes some good reminders.
Courtney Calhoun's curator insight, June 26, 1:35 PM
This article gives great ideas on how to incorporate video chat into the classroom. My favorite is having more guest speakers. My students love when they can learn something from someone other than their teacher. It would make accessing speakers from all over the globe possible.
Jasmine Villarreal's curator insight, July 19, 5:10 PM
Now, with technology becoming more and more relevant, it isn't surprising that Video chats can be used in the classroom. At first I did not know how until I read this article. What really surprised me was that it can even be used to help with parent-teacher conferences when they have no time to come into the classroom.
Teaching techniques play a necessary and important role in effective instruction, but too much focus on them sidetracks us from what really matters
Via EDTECH@UTRGV
Storytelling in the classroom can be a powerful way to support literacy. Children can be so absorbed in the tale, they are inspired to retell what they've heard to others, motivated to read it for themselves and encouraged to take it further and write their own parts or versions.

Truly Mini Vaccum cleanerDelivered on the second day after ordering. Very happy with Flipkart delivery. Product comes with useful accessories, works well for cleaning upholstery, nooks and corners,window sills and the like. Does not work well on thick dust like that accumalated on the ceiling fan. Sounds like a big vaccum cleaner itself.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets have taken Connecticut guard Jeremy Lamb at No. 12 in the NBA draft, a pick they nabbed in a trade with Milwaukee this week.
The 6-foot-5 Lamb entered the draft after just two college seasons. He averaged 17.7 points and 4.9 rebounds for the Huskies last year and became just the sixth sophomore in Connecticut history to score 1,000 career points (1,060).
The Rockets also have the 16th and 18th picks. They've been maneuvering all week, trying to build a package to offer in exchange for a superstar big man, possibly Orlando's Dwight Howard.
Houston has missed the playoffs for three straight seasons, but hasn't slipped enough to get a favorable chance for a top-10 pick in the lottery.

I want to display something in my sidebar, just for specific users (determined by their ID ?) of my blog. Is it possible ?
Thanks !
I want to display something in my sidebar, just for specific users (determined by their ID ?) of my blog. Is it possible ?
Thanks !
You can try inserting this code into your sidebar.php template file:
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ( $user_id = 2 ) {
// display user_id = 2 content
} elseif ( $user_id = 3 ) {
// display user_id = 3 content
} else {
// display other user_id content
} else {
// display content for guests
Thanks for your help,
I've tested this code but it doesn't run... It displays the content for all authors who are logged in :/
I quickly tested it using three different users on one of my test servers before posting ... everything seemed fine to me.
Did you manually edit the sample above to match the specific ID of the users you want to display the different content to?
Strange, I tested that on my blog:
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ( $user_id = 1 ) {
echo '1';
} elseif ( $user_id = 3 ) {
echo '3';
} else {
echo 'online';
} else {
echo 'not online';
When I'm deconnected, the script displays "not online". But When I'm logged in under different users (user1 or user3 or any user), it always displays "1"...
Yes, you are correct. The test site had other code that was providing the $user_id variable with its value. Try this:
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ( $user_id == 2 ) {
// display user_id = 2 content
} elseif ( $user_id == 3 ) {
// display user_id = 3 content
} else {
// display other user_id content
} else {
// display content for guests
The 'is_user_logged_in()' conditional may not be absolutely necessary, its just a nice-to-do check.
Oh! It's an amazing coincidence, I've made some searches and found that I could try "$user_id ==" whereas "$user_id =". I've tried, it didn't run but I have not put the "$user_id = get_current_user_id();".
I'm trying now and get back to you !
I've tested the function but it doesn't run :/
It says that : Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_user_id() in /home/html/mysite.com/wp-content/themes/news/sidebar.php on line 20
I've made some searches and found this function on the wordpress MU codex. Maybe this function is exclusive to MU and doesn't run on wordpress ?
The function is found in ../wp-includes/user.php
I have no idea why you are getting that error though.
I've tested it on wordpress 3.0 and your function runs perfectly !
My curent blog is on wordpress 2.9.2, I'm uprading it now and the function would be run...!
Hi Cais,
Just to say you that the function runs perfectly, so I want you to thank you very much for helping me !!!
Thank you !
You are very welcome! I'm glad it is working for you.
That is a nice piece of code!
So, is there a way to dynamically generate your code snippet, so that it will work for a large number of user ids (using user id values from a database table).
ie. lets say a user id 10256 was on the site. I don;t want to have to list lines of code for each of the 10000 users in your code snippet above.
Basically, how can I serve 10000 users different content (posts) based on associated values in a database?
can always use the members plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/
Thanks for the useful response Simplistik :)
Right. Maybe I could use it like this: I could generate different shortcodes dynamically and then the Members plugin would recognise those shortcodes and then feed the correct content accordingly.
Or did you imagine using it some other way?
@myfoursquare - Sorry for being so late in getting back to this post ...
... I would likely consider something along the lines of @simplistik's idea of using a "members plugin" to accomodate a large user base. The code snippet above is great for a small handful of specific users but not so much for a potentially more generic listing of 1000's of users.
I used your second code Edward and got the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /leftsidebar.php on line 8
my 8th line is:
} elseif ( $user_id == 3 ) {

|"Batman/Doc Savage" #1 on sale in November
First teased back in May by DC Comics on its blog The Source, Doc Savage is making his return to comics this November in a one-shot co-starring Batman.
The special, not unlike the Jeph Loeb/Darwyn Cooke âBatman/The Spiritâ one-shot that introduced Denny Colt to new readers in 2007, will lead directly into a six-issue miniseries in 2010 featuring Doc Savage, Batman, The Spirit and several other non-superpowered DCU heroes and classic Street and Smith characters like The Avenger.
Brian Azzarello (â100 Bulletsâ) will write both the âBatman/Doc Savageâ Special, illustrated by Phil Noto, and the miniseries, illustrated by Rags Morales, and the Eisner Award-winning writer spoke with CBR News after details of Doc Savageâs upcoming appearances were discussed during the DC Nation Panel at Chicago Comic-Con this past weekend.
Doc Savage was created in 1933 by Street and Smith Publicationsâ Henry Ralston, editor John Nanovic and Lester Dent, the main writer of the pulp magazine series. Street and Smith originally published 181 issues of âDoc Savageâ Magazine between 1933 and 1949. Doc was portrayed as a superb physician, surgeon, scientist, adventurer, inventor, explorer, researcher, and musician and Dent himself compared him to Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan and Abe Lincoln.
In the 1960s, Bantam Books reprinted all 181 stories, plus one unpublished novel, bringing the character that influenced future fictional heroes ranging from Superman and Batman to James Bond and Indiana Jones to a new generation of readers (for instance, Docâs real name is Clark Savage Jr., and his secret hideaway in the Arctic is known as the Fortress of Solitude).
While heâs been featured in a movie and radio serials, Docâs also no stranger to comics. He appeared in DC Comics between 1987 and 1990 in a four-issue miniseries and a 24-issue ongoing series mostly written by Mike W. Barr and Savage tales have also been told by Marvel, Gold Key Comics, Millennium Publications and Dark Horse over the years.
CBR: What were your thoughts on Doc Savage coming into this project? Are you a long-time fan or did you have more of a working knowledge of the character?
BRIAN AZZARELLO: âFanâ might be a strong word but I was definitely aware of him. I read a lot of books when I was younger. If [DC] wanted Doc Savage straight ahead Doc Savage, I probably wouldnât be involved but the way that weâre doing it, Iâm pretty excited about it.
Did you bring DC the idea of doing a Doc Savage series or did DC seek you out?
Iâve been kind of involved with this for a long time. [DC Executive Editor] Dan DiDio knew I was a fan of this stuff. I just called myself a fan so I guess that makes me one, right? [laughs] Heâd been trying to acquire the rights for a while and we got them, he told me and it was like, âLetâs do this.â And it just went from there.
|"Batman/Doc Savage" #1 art by Rags Morales
The plan right now is to introduce Doc Savage to readers in the âBatman/Doc Savageâ Special and thatâs going to lead into a project called, âFirst Wave.â Is that correct?
I donât know what itâs going to be called but itâs not going to be called âFirst Wave.â That title just doesnât do anything for me. Itâs not evocative.
Before we discuss the series, letâs talk about the one-shot. Is that story set in current DCU continuity?
No. No, no, no. We have our own continuity. Thatâs what weâre creating here. Itâs something brand new. Weâre taking old characters and creating something new with them.
So is it set in present day?
Itâs timeless. There are airships and cell phones. Computers and Tommy guns. Trains are a viable form of transportation. For lack of a better touchstone, think âBatman: The Animated Series.â Was that in the 1940s or was that now?
Will the âBatman/Doc Savageâ one-shot stand alone or does it roll into what youâre doing with Rags Morales in the series?
It will roll in but itâs definitely going to stand on its own. Weâre setting up the rules that weâre going to play by.
So if Batman exists in this world does Superman?
Batman, yes. Superman, no. The world that weâre creating has no superpowers.
Is Bruce Wayne Batman in this world?
Was a world without superpowers one of your stipulations for taking on this project?
Dan came to me because he wanted that kind of world. The pinnacle of humanity in this world is Doc Savage. Heâs top of the food chain.
Will readers need prior knowledge of Doc Savage heading into the one-shot or the series?
What. Do you think I want 10 guys reading this?
Ten guys in their seventies.
Those 10 guys in their seventies are going to be the guys who get pissed off. âHe obviously doesnât understand Doc Savage. Thatâs not my Doc Savageâ Thatâs exactly what I want them to say.
|The pulp heroes by Brian Stellfreeze
But I guess your hope is to bring them around, as well?
What Iâve found is when people hate what youâre doing, they follow it even closer. But this is not for them. Weâre taking these characters and like I said, weâre creating something new. They can be made relevant and viable.
What makes Doc Savage work as a hero for todayâs generation of readers?
Itâs surprising how many correlations can be drawn to some peopleâs favorite characters. Doc was kind of the first. He and Superman share the same vacation home.
So weâll see the Fortress of Solitude?
And what about his supporting cast, the Fabulous Five?
Yeah. There are all going to be there.
Itâs also been announced that Doc Savage will be joined by other classic characters like The Spirit, the Blackhawks, Rima the Jungle Girl in the series that follows. And those will be reinterpretations, as well?
I donât mind sharing who the characters are going to be because I guarantee, they are not going to be the way you are expecting them to be. So yeah, the Blackhawks are in it but youâre going to look at these Blackhawks and youâre going to be like, âThis is not the way that theyâve been depicted before.â
Will The Spirit be the same Spirit as the one Darwyn Cooke introduced into DCU a few years back?
No. Well, yes. The Spirit is Denny Colt. Okay? Itâs him. Youâre Canadian, right? Well, Iâm not going to disrespect Darwyn at all. [laughs] I know heâs a national treasure up there.
When will we see this series?
Sometime next year.
Is it an ongoing series?
Itâs a six-issue miniseries. But oversized.
And it was announced at Chicago Comic-Con that The Spirit will star in a new solo series coming out of this. Will there be more spin-off titles?
Yeah. There are going to be a number of series spinning out of this.
And will you be involved in all of those?
To some extent, yes.
Will you be overseeing the universe?
Yeah. Iâm God. [laughs] In a universe without magic or superpowers, Iâm God.

1990 Nissan 300ZX Hatchback Turbo 2dr Coupe
High quality automobile, fun to drive and own. Very competent, precise. 13 years ownership, I love this car. I will keep it for my son to drive it. My son is 9.
Power (twin turbo 300hp), handling, seat comfort, stylish, overall excellent in quality.
This is an amazing car and just gets better with age. Although parts are expensive it has hardly needed anything.
The Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo, is a car that with a few modifations can real shock you with their power output. It comes stock with 300 hp, by adding after market turbos, turbo regulator, duel air intake & filters, and performance chip you will be able to outperform most sport cars on the road today. This will easily put you at over 400 hp. This will whip a new Corvette, BMW M3, Etc. When dealing with turbos power is so easy to gain, and you will gain so much more than in non turbo cars. If you want to spend money, because they can be expensive to maintain. I give this car an A, Thanks!
Power, fun to drive, and handling
after market turbos, air duel intake air and filters, turbo regulators. (Crazy Horsepower)
when i got the car it had 102,000 miles on it about 5,000 miles later the trans blew and the cam sensor went out. after i got all that taken care of the car has been good to me. there is a few upgraded parts that make the car one hell of a rocket like the boost controller and the jim wolf chip. so when i step on the gas now it just puts you back in your seat. I Would tell you to buy the car but only if you are willing to spend the money to fix it right in the first place.
i love the fact that it is twin turbO
they could have mad a better lay out for the motor were he intake manifold sits makes it so the heads on the car get way to hot making it lack some power
I bought this 90 Turbo Z recently, and
it was worth every penny. I did not
buy a Mustang 5.0, Camaro Z28, C4
Corvette, etc. simply because they
were all built like crap, although
still fast. The other two Japenese
turbos of the 90s, the RX-7 and the
Supra, were WAY overpriced and so out
of the question. The turbo Z
accelerates like a lear jet, if you
would consider a Camaro Z28 a fighter
jet. Its power delivery is smooth,
constant, and very quiet, yet
overwhelmingly impressive. This is an
awesome sports car, and even better
because Nissan engineered and built
this legend starting in 1989 and it
still outperforms most true sports
cars in 2004.
Exterior style, Interior setup for the
driver is excellent; smooth, powerful
accleration, great balance, very
stable car, especially at high
speeds. This car is not twitchy and
nerve racking to drive like a Honda
Bigger rotors, but that is an easy
upgrade and relatively inexpensive.
Other than that, nothing.

Political Perceptions: Florida's 'Operation Lemonade'
MIAMI – For the Obama campaign, victory in Florida hinges partly on a massive turnout from African-American voters.
Should enough black voters sit it out, President Obama may not reach the vote total necessary to put him over the top in this crucial battleground.

- U.S. Panel Urges More Early Voting
Polling shows that black voters nationwide are excited about the race. But in Florida they may be even more fired up. The reason may have less to do with Barack Obama's record or even his status as the nation's first black president, than the actions taken by the Republican-controlled legislature.
Last year, Florida lawmakers passed a bill that compressed the early voting period from 14 days to eight. Proponents said they wanted to crack down on voter fraud, though Democrats saw a more partisan motive at work. In 2008, Mr. Obama banked far more African-American votes in the two week early voting period than he did on election day. A large African-American turnout propelled him to a 51%-to-48% victory in Florida over Republican Sen. John McCain.
Shrinking the early voting period gave the Obama campaign less time to lock in the votes of African-Americans, Democrats said.

Black clergy leaders up and down the state say the new law amounts to a suppression of the black vote. In sermons and rallies, they are invoking the voting rights struggles, making a case that this generation of black Americans needs to protect the sacrifices made by civil rights activists in the 1960s.
The aim is to turn out black voters in numbers that match or exceed the early vote totals from 2008.
That won't be easy. The new law forbids early voting on the Sunday before the election, depriving the black clergy of a day to lead people from pews to polling places.
Clergy leaders are using creative means to pique the imagination of worshippers. They've started a campaign called "Operation Lemonade" that encourages people to convert the "lemons" dropped on them by the state into "lemonade," in the form of a strong black turnout.
They are bracing people for five and six hour waits at early voting sites by reminding them that others endured far worse to secure the franchise.
Bishop Victor T. Curry, in an interview Sunday at his predominantly African-American church in Miami, said: "It troubled our hearts that all of a sudden you want to change the game because you want to win an election. You win an election by your positions and how you engage the voters. You don't do it through trickery and suppression."
At the Church of the Open Door in a poor neighborhood in Miami on Sunday, worshippers boarded a bus after services and rode to a polling place to cast ballots. They stopped at another church en route to pick up more congregants. On the crowded bus they sang Gospel songs while one person passed out Obama campaign buttons. A few people disembarked early so they could march the rest of the way.
Visiting south Florida over the weekend to promote "Operation Lemonade," Rev. Al Sharpton delivered a sermon at the predominately black New Birth Baptist Church in Miami.
"We are not going to let you take from us what our parents and grandparents fought to give us," he told the congregation. "… Everybody needs to vote early and to get everybody they know to vote early. This is a matter of pride now."
The clergymen say they are not advising people how to vote; just encouraging them to vote early. But it's clear where there sympathies rest.
In his sermon on Sunday, Rev. R. Joaquin Willis of the Church of the Open Door said Mr. Obama cannot fairly be blamed for the nation's economic difficulties.
He said that it is "not the fault of a man who has been in office for three years when you've got 10 years worth of damage that has been done."
The congregation applauded.

Blogs Cliopatria Those Kerry AdsAug 11, 2004 12:42 pm
Those Kerry Ads
After reading the anti-Kerry statement I was tempted to think there may be more here than I at first suspected. Perhaps Kerry really did angle for a Purple Heart he didn't deserve. But how is one to know whom to believe? Douglas Brinkley's account of heroism or the critics'?
When historians in 20 or 30 years look into this perhaps we'll get the truth--or some semblance of the truth. But don't bet on it. Historians are still arguing about JFK's war record, thanks mainly to Garry Wills, who argued in a book about Kennedy myths that Kennedy, though obviously brave, had apparently let his little PT 109 boat get run over by a lumbering ship through malfeasance.
Maureen Dowd on Meet the Press this past Sunday said it is distasteful to be arguing about Kerry's war record. She's right. A mature democracy shouldn't. What a President Kerry would do in office is more important than what he did 30 years ago. The Republicans argue that it was Kerry who made this page out of history relevant by running on his war record. And they're right about that. But questioning his integrity seems to me beyond the pale.
Folks: this is no way to run a democracy.
But alas it is the way we have run ours ever since the masses won the right to vote. Go back to the election of 1840, the first to feature the kind of ugly politics common to systems of mass suffrage. William Henry Harrison had no business running for president. He was too old and too feeble. But he had that war record from 30 years ago. So the Whigs ran him. The Democrats had run a war hero (Andy Jackson) and won and now the Whigs would run theirs--and win.
This is in other words all about image. It's about manipulating the public by selling a candidate as a war hero and manipulating the public by trashing his record as a hero. What it all has to do with the war on terrorism, healthcare, the creation of jobs, looming budget deficits, or any of our other issues facing the country is impossible to determine. But you can bet it is what we'll be talking about until election day because Kerry's war record makes him an attractive candidate. And Bush isn't a war hero .... making him an _______. You fill in the blank.
So let the yakking begin.

Is there a tool available for Ubuntu that can stream shuffled playlists or folders of videos to my Wowza Server (hosted elsewhere) via RTMP?
I currently have an old iMac streaming videos via screen capture to the Wowza server, but I hope to find something that would allow to me to stream videos using Linux instead.
Liquidsoap has the ability to handle video, but doesn't support RTMP, nor Wowza. As far as I'm aware, VLC doesn't have the ability to stream playlists of videos on shuffle.
Any leads would be wonderful.

Morgan City shipyard closes amid flood threat
Published: Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 12:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 12:21 p.m.
MORGAN CITY — Conrad Industries Inc. says it has temporarily shuttered its Morgan City shipyard along the Atchafalaya River.
The yard is outside protective levees — and the company has moved vessels under construction, about 200 employees and contract workers and major equipment to its two shipyards at Amelia along the Intracoastal Waterway. Conrad builds tugboats, offshore supply boats and other vessels, many employed by the offshore oil industry.
Authorities are considering opening the Morganza spillway, which would send floodwaters from the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya and south to the Gulf of Mexico.

Some of my sites are using other sites that generate code which has text in them that we don't like, like alt="" tags etc. I would like to know if there's someway to use javascript to check each post before they are posted and if "target string" is found it replaces that text with whatever we set it to.
I found a plugin called "Search % Replace" and it worked great, however this would mean we have to manually run this a lot, and as the database grows the load on checking all posts will be larger, so a script that did this once each post would be better.
Anyone have any ideas, or want a job for some money?

Adriana Faust is the standout here among a good cast of eager young porn newcomers. Faust teams up with Manuel Ferrara for a passionate bathroom/bedroom scene that looks good at every angle and does plenty to make this wide-eyed beauty look great.
Haylee Le starts off bound and gagged when Erik Everhard begins molesting her; she ends up jackhammered. And Audrey Bitoni gets a solid dose of Marco Banderas.
