Terrelle Pryor will either fold under the pressure and be a huge bust, or he will battle through the intense criticism and make a lot of college football followers eat their words.
His coaches from high school predict it will be the latter.
"The thing about Terrelle is, the more you say negatives, the more he's going to prove you wrong," said Ray Reitz, Pryor's former head coach at Jeannette High School.

Terrelle Pryor is dealing with heavy criticism during his sophomore year at Ohio State.
Seemingly the entire country has piled on Ohio State's quarterback recently. That includes yours truly, who wrote in this space two weeks ago that the heavily hyped Pryor is the biggest fraud in college football.
"Everybody's putting him under the bus," Reitz said. "I think it's totally unfair what they're doing to the kid."
Reitz is now head coach at Latrobe High School and was replaced at Jeannette by longtime assistant Roy Hall, who was Pryor's quarterbacks coach.

"Everybody's putting him under the bus. I think it's totally unfair what they're doing to the kid."
-- Ray Reitz, Pryor's former high school coach
"I'm a grown man, and I don't know with some of the things that I'd be able to handle, the pressure that he's been under," Hall said.
Pryor, the No. 1 recruit in the country two years ago, undoubtedly will be showered with loud boos when he makes his first appearance at Beaver Stadium on Saturday. The same Nittany Lion fans who desperately wanted the star athlete to come play at PSU surely have not forgotten how Pryor dissed Happy Valley's rural setting.
"I don't like that place," he said during the recruiting process. "It's the country."
If a kid is going to say cocky things like that, he'd better be able to back it up with his play on the field. Pryor hasn't come close to doing that or living up to his enormous hype.
But give him time, Reitz and Hall say, and the kid will emerge as a star.
"Everybody's just looking at Terrelle, they expect him to just step out there and do everything, they expect him to be perfect every play," Hall said. "People want to criticize him, but if they had to do it all over again, every school in the country would still be chomping at the bit to get him."
Hall, who talks with Pryor frequently and spoke with him after Saturday's game against New Mexico State, said the quarterback is aware of the criticism but doesn't pay attention to it.
"He realizes just because people talk bad about him, that can't stop him from going out the next day and being able to step up and perform," Hall said.
Pryor's statistics this season aren't great, but they're also not terrible. He's completing 54.6 percent of his passes for 1,543 yards with 13 TDs and nine interceptions. He also leads the Buckeyes in rushing with 554 yards and has scored six times.
Pryor may get a passing grade statistically, but the eye test is another matter. The sophomore looks like a deer in headlights a good bit of the time when he faces pressure, and his unorthodox throwing motion and struggles reading defenses make you wonder if he'll ever develop into an all-around quarterback.
"The maturation process is different for everybody," Reitz said. "I say you give him more time. ... If I'm starting a team, I want him as my quarterback because of the tremendous ability he does have."
Reitz believes Pryor will remain at quarterback in college and that he "could be a great pro." That last part is why he chose Ohio State in the first place.
"The offense Ohio State ran is more an NFL type, and that's one of the big reasons I think Terrelle chose that," Reitz said.
Reitz also believes Pryor made the right decision going to Columbus and insists he didn't try to influence that decision.
"What I told Terrelle was, 'You've got to live that life for four years, OK?'" Reitz said. "All these outsiders telling him where to go, he's the one that's got to live it. He likes Ohio State. He's very happy up there. So that's why I think he did make the right decision."
Reitz was quoted recently by espn.com questioning how Ohio State and coach Jim Tressel are using Pryor.
"They've put the reins on him, and they need to let him go free," Reitz said in that story. "When I watch Terrelle play right now, I see a robot."
Reitz contends he was misquoted in that story when it came to the best way to us Pryor.
"I never said Ohio State should do what Michigan or Oregon or anybody does," Reitz said before adding, "Now I get e-mails from Columbus people telling me why would I say that about Tressel. And I didn't say anything about Tressel."
The great irony is that Pryor went to Ohio State to prepare for the NFL, yet it's the Buckeyes' system that can't seem to best utilize his talents.
There's no question, either, that Pryor is a great talent. He's just not a good quarterback, something Penn State fans will see first hand for the first time at Beaver Stadium this week.

Den nye nederlandske statsministeren Mark Rutte har kommentert Tyrkias kontroll med tyrkere i andre land, på en måte som har falt Ankara tungt for brystet. Ankara liker ikke integreringsreglene i Nederland, og vil at tyrkere skal forbli tyrkere uansett hvor de bor.
Foranledningen var en ny statssekretær Veldhuijzen van Zanten som også har svensk statsborgerskap. Rutte sa onsdag at dette ikke var noe problem, men ville vært det om van Zanten hadde vært tyrkisk. Det fikk den tyrkiske statsråden med ansvar for tyrkere i utlandet (sic) Faruk Celik til å protestere mot diskriminering. Han mente Rutte ikke respekterte frie valg. Nå er ikke van Zanten valgt, han er utnevnt.
Celik sa Tyrkia heller ikke liker integreringsreglene i Nederland, fordi de krever for sterk integrering. Den tyrkiske regjering sier åpenlyst at tyrkere skal forbli tyrkere,uansett hvilket land de bor i. Selv respekterer de ikke minoriteter som likestilte på hjemmebane.
Men den nederlandske regjering møter problemer på hjemmebane. Domstoler i Rotterdam og Roermond har kommet til at integreringskravene bryter med assossieringsavtalen mellom EU og Tyrkia. Regjeringen har anket, og sier de vil be om at avtalen forandres, i tilfelle de taper i siste omgang. Men en slik endring krever samtykke fra Ankara, og det får neppe Nederland, som kan være "stuck".
ISTANBUL, 30/10/10 – The Turkish government considers that Premier Mark Rutte has made "discriminatory' statements in the Lower House about Turks in the Netherlands.
Rutte said Wednesday in the debate on the government policy statement that the combined Dutch and Swedish nationality of State Secretary Veldhuijzen van Zanten is no problem, but that it would have been a point for debate if she had had a Turkish passport. The premier said the difference lies in the fact that Turkey exercises influence on citizens abroad via its constitution and Sweden does not.
Turkish Minister Faruk Celik, responsible for Turks abroad, says he "cannot see how such a discriminatory statement contributes to the integration of foreigners in the Netherlands." The right to be elected is a fundamental human right, according to the minister, who apparently did not understand that Van Zanten has not been elected but appointed as a state secretary.
The Turkish government also considers that an end should be made to the Netherlands integration requirement for Turks. Ankara sees an unjust infringement of the rights of Turks in this requirement.
District courts in Rotterdam and Roermond have found in favour of the Turks. The judges ruled that the integration requirement for Turks is in violation of the association accord between Turkey and the EU. The Dutch state has appealed against these rulings.
If the state loses the appeal, the new cabinet will try to get the treaty amended so that Turks do come under the integration requirement again. But the Turkish government has already indicated now that it will oppose such an amendment of the treaty.
According to lawyers, this opposition will likely make the amendment impossible, because the unanimous agreement of the treaty partners is necessary.
"Turkish citizens are not required to take the courses, based on the treaty," says Celik's spokesman. "We will hold the Netherlands to this. (…) These people are and will always remain Turks."
According to the spokesman, Ankara does support the integration of Turkish immigrants with Dutch society. "But Turkey is against the immigrants being completely absorbed by this society."
Celik made a visit to the Netherlands last weekend. He did not meet with Home Affairs Minister Piet Hein Donner, but he did meet with Turkish lobby organisations and visited the Islamic University of Rotterdam. 'We are concerned about the growing xenophobia and Islamophobia in the Netherlands', said the spokesman for Celik.

Job candidates: Your first impression with an employer can be etched in the regulation time of a rodeo bull ride.
"People size you up very quickly, and there's about eight seconds to greet and impress somebody before they make judgments about you," said David Rose, a national recruiting executive who matches restaurant and hospitality companies and candidates.
Amarillo employers encountered some candidates who dressed more for a street fair than a job fair at the Amarillo Civic Center Tuesday. Baseball caps, saggy britches and skull T-shirts didn't win "dress for success" points from recruiters.
CareerBuilder labeled inappropriate dress as one of "six fatal interview errors" identified in a poll it released in January.
The mismatch occurs not just at expos but in daily recruiting, according to Claudia Archuleta, business development representative for staffing company Spherion.
"We have some who come into the office in pajamas," Archuleta said. "Look like you're going to a job interview. Don't come in your fuzzy slippers like you stepped out of bed."
Most employers participating in Tuesday's job fair wore casual, but neat, attire. So it wasn't an all-suit-and-tie crowd.
What employers wear, and what applicants should wear, depends on the company, what it does and who it targets, said Rose, vice president of Yellow Dog
Recruiting and a former hiring manager for Compass Group and American Express.
"What's most important is for a candidate to truly understand the culture (of a company), and dress a level above the job they want," Rose said. "If you're overdressed, it's very easy to loosen a tie or take off a jacket or roll up sleeves.
"If the company is a more casual organization, you don't want to turn them off either. They're looking for the right fit, which might not be you if you show up in the full suit."
Researching a company before a pplying and interviewing can be critical, Rose said.
Attire doesn't have to hold candidates back, said Mollie Barney, business services coordinator for Workforce Solutions Panhandle.
"I'm not saying go out and buy a new suit," Barney said. "I'm not saying that at all. But just be presentable. Use common sense. And there are so many options for agencies that will help."
An estimated 80 social-service agencies and churches refer people who need suitable interview clothing to the Downtown Women's Center, for example, Executive Director Diann Gilmore said.
The center, which operates thrift stores, also will help people if they inquire at the Downtown Women's Center office at 409 S. Monroe St., said Gilmore, who has counseled job seekers about attire.
"We can get them clothes, but clothes is not the issue," she said. "The younger group just doesn't realize that it's the older group that is going to be hiring them."
Company cultures vary
Job seekers with tattoos and body piercings also should be prepared to make adjustments, though both are becoming more accepted, Rose said.
"It goes on a case-by-case basis," he said. "Every company has a different culture. And it's left to the candidate to try to identify the companies that match what they're looking for."
Companies often want their frontline employees to reflect their audience, recruiters said.
One in five U.S. adults — 21 percent — has a tattoo, according to a 2012 Harris Poll. That's up 14 percent from 2008, when Harris previously asked the question.
The same poll showed that, while half of U.S. adults have pierced ears, just 7 percent said they have a piercing elsewhere on their body and 4 percent had a facial piercing not on the ear.
Those surveyed indicated more acceptance and less stigma associated with body art.
Having a resume and references ready also is a must, Rose said. And they should be kept handy when applying and during interviews, whether by phone or in person.
In the fair's opening two hours on Tuesday, Art Rigg, a Dallas Randstad Staffing recruiter, had seen dozens of candidates but just a half-dozen had resumes to offer, he said.
Johnny Ries, 23, was one of them. A May 2011 business graduate from Oklahoma State University, Ries has been substitute teaching while looking for work in his field.
He awaited news about a state government job but said he turned out in a suit and tie Tuesday to "keep my options open."
Rose blogs job-search information, including resume-writing at www.yellowdog.com, and help is available locally at Workforce Solutions Panhandle, 1206 S.W. Seventh Ave.
Workforce Solutions offers classes in resume writing, interviewing, readiness and conducting a job search at age 50 or older.
Though most recruiters at the fair remarked on appearance don'ts, a close second was eye contact.
"If you're not looking at somebody in the eye, I'm always wondering what is it that you're thinking about," Rose said.
Trust, and distrust, comes into play, he said.
Confidence can be hard to muster, especially for those whose search has been difficult, said Karli Chandle, a BSA Hospital human resources recruiter.
"It's hard to take that first step, but these people are taking that first step and I commend that," Chandle said.
Interviewees should keep answers to the point, Rose said.
"Simply say the situation in this case was, the action I took was this, and the result was this," he said.

Nosebleeds (Epistaxis)
is epistaxis?
Epistaxis is bleeding from the nostril. At least 11% of all Americans have at least one nosebleed in their lifetime. Nosebleeds are very common in athletes who are involved in contact or collision activities, such as boxing, wrestling, hockey, and football.
There are two types of nosebleeds: anterior (front) (Fig. 1) and posterior (back) (Fig. 2). The anterior type is usually less severe, but can be more frightening because blood is seen oozing from the nostril. Unlike anterior nosebleeds, posterior nosebleeds are not easily visible because blood oozes down the back of the throat.
Anterior nosebleeds usually occur in younger patients as a result of injury to the nose or dry nasal membranes. Posterior nosebleeds usually occur in elderly patients in whom the vessels and arteries of the posterior nose become hardened and break.
Causes and risks
The most common cause of nosebleeds is trauma (sudden, forceful injury) to the nose. Trauma can cause broken nasal bones, which in turn can cause lacerations (cuts) to nasal membranes. Upper respiratory tract infection, allergies, drug inhalation, and sinusitis can cause swelling of the membranes, which leads to tissue that can bleed easily. Some drugs, such as aspirin, nosedrops, and blood thinners, and certain diseases, such as aplastic anemia, leukemia, hemophilia, Hodgkin's disease, rheumatic fever, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), and liver disease, can also cause nosebleeds. Dry climates and high altitudes can cause vessels in the nose to bleed easily, especially when you blow your nose.
Signs and symptoms
In an anterior nosebleed, blood is usually seen running out of the nose. If the area of bleeding is close to the nostril, bright red blood can be seen. If the area of bleeding is deeper in the nose, the blood is usually dark red. Dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath can be experienced if a large amount of blood is lost.
Since most nosebleeds come from direct trauma, using protective equipment for the head and face during athletic activities can reduce the chance of injury. Treatment for any underlying medical condition can also prevent nosebleeds. During winter months and in dry climates, humidifying the air can help moisturize nasal passages and prevent overly dry nasal tissue.
Most nosebleeds can be controlled with simple treatment. Sit up with your head bent forward. Using your thumb and index finger, pinch the nostril for at least 5 minutes. If bleeding continues, keep pinching the nostril for another 10 minutes. Pinching the nose allows the blood to clot and seal off the bleeding vessel. Ice wrapped in a towel or plastic bag can be applied to the nose, while it is being pinched, to help stop the bleeding. Ice causes constriction of the bleeding vessels. Don't blow your nose for at least 12-24 hours because that can dislodge the blood clot. It is also important to remain quiet and not talk excessively, which could cause you to inhale blood. Normal activity can be resumed if the bleeding has stopped for at least 24 hours. If the bleeding does not stop, or if there has been an injury such as a broken nose, a doctor's treatment should be sought. A doctor can insert gauze into the nostril to place direct pressure on the bleeding vessel. If bleeding still continues, your doctor can prescribe certain medications or perform certain procedures to help stop the bleeding.

Rabbi Yitzchok Kaye – the ManUJew – will be providing kosher sandwiches for students on campuses in Manchester this year.
He expects to serve around 1,500 meals each term from his base in Fallowfield. Manchester University has also granted Rabbi Kaye access to campus facilities to provide hot kosher food.
He said: "The university is blazing the way forward and is a terrific example to other universities that kosher food is important and should be supplied."
UJS has launched a Jewish Student Law Network.
The initiative is part of chair Alex Dwek's pledge to do more to provide career guidance and assistance for students and is being run by Richard Verber, director of programmes and education.
Jonathan Morris, partner at Berwin Leighton Paisner, welcomed students and lawyers to a succah-based event overlooking the River Thames. More than 70 people attended.
Workshops will take place in December to help candidates find internships at law firms and a dinner is planned for 2011. Email email@example.com for more details
Couples from the University Jewish Chaplaincy team spent a weekend on an intensive training course at a kosher hotel in Pontefract, west Yorkshire.
Chaplains participated in sessions covering educational programming, planning and listening skills.
UJC chief executive Ian Kamiel said: "It was especially valuable for the three new couples to learn more about the vital role they will play in giving practical, spiritual, and emotional support to Jewish students."
The charity also hosted a whisky-tasting evening to thank chaplains past and present. Participants learnt how whisky is made at the Balvenie distillery.
An animated viral video campaign targeting Muslim and Jewish students was screened at 10 universities.
The Coexistence Trust aimed to increase awareness of the similarities between the two faiths.
It focused on three areas of Islamic and Jewish joint religious practice – male circumcision, kosher and halal food, and gender equality.

ABC (Tuesdays, 9:30 P.M. ET)
And of all the new series trying out this spring, this is the most promising I've seen yet. In Have Faith, Joel Higgins, Ron Carey, Stephen Furst and Frank Hamilton play priests. They minister to parishioners who have erotic dreams about Satan; they say prayers in the vernacular ("Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub—yeah, God!"), and they have a secretary (France-sea P. Roberts) who doesn't know the difference between a monsignor and a rabbi. Have Faith looks like WKRP in Rome or Barney Miller in a parish house—and those are good omens. This one deserves a chance in the fall.

Obama says hey Rahm
President elect Barack Obama has a selected his chief of staff and his name is Rahm. Though the name has nothing to do with the Hindu mythological figure of Ram, Indian Americans who are loyal Obama supporters are sure to be happy with the name that sounds so like the Hindu God.
Representative Rahm Emanuel is a former Clinton Administration official and a fellow member of Congress from Illinois and the President elect says that he selected Rahm for the crucial job because he has "deep insights into the challenging economic issues that will be front and center for our administration."
He informed Mr. Obama of his decision on Thursday morning, saying he would step down as the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives to help guide the Obama Administration.
Accepting the offer that Obama made, Emanuel said: "Now is a time for unity, and I will do everything in my power to help you stitch together the frayed fabric of our politics, and help summon Americans of both parties to unite in common purpose."
In a statement, he added: "Like the record amount of voters who cast their ballot over the last month, I want to do everything I can to help deliver the change America needs. We have work to do, and Tuesday Americans sent Washington a clear message get the job done."
Rahm is also called Rahmbo here in Washington due to his tough no nonsense approach to getting work done in a difficult town. He is a veteran of the Clinton Administration leading many to wonder whether there will be more appointments that Obama will make from that team.
Obama also named John Podesta, former Clinton White House chief of staff to lead his transition team. Both Rahm Emanuel and John Podesta are not representatives of the new brand of politics that Obama has promised the people.
Mr. Obama himself remained largely out of public view on Thursday. He went for a morning workout about 9:30 a.m., returning to his home about 90 minutes later. In the afternoon, he received his first intelligence briefing as the president-elect. He will speak to the media on Friday morning but it is unlikely that he will announce the names of the transition team.

Analysis: Sarah Palin's predicament -- will she run in 2012?
Sep 15, 2011, 3:13 p.m.
By Steve Holland
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sarah Palin faces a dilemma.
The conservative firebrand could use her electrifying, combative personality to leap into the race to determine the Republican nominee to run for president in 2012.
Palin is the only big-name Republican left who could launch a run this late and has said she will make the decision by the end of this month.
But by doing so, she would risk a new round of unflattering publicity -- the kind of negative focus on her and her family that dogged her vice presidential run in 2008 and left her embittered by the experience.
A taste of that has already come with an unflattering new book by a veteran political writer that makes unsubstantiated allegations about Palin, a former Alaska governor.
While adverse publicity may generate sympathy among her supporters, it could damage her image among the broader electorate, raising the question of whether she could be electable in a run against President Barack Obama in November 2012 or against anyone else in 2016.
There are signs she will not jump into the race, including a clue she gave in a Fox News interview this week, when she said after a Republican debate that she enjoyed the influence she was having without being a candidate.
Palin, 48, said she is "getting a kick out of getting out there, giving a speech, making some statements about things that must be discussed and then the very next day watching some of the candidates get out there and discuss what it was that we just talked about."
Plus, she has little in the way of organization that could form the basis of a campaign in the early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire. Most of the top organizing talent has been hired by other candidates and Republicans are only four months away from the start of voting in primary elections.
"She's a rock star," said Steve Duprey, a former New Hampshire Republican Party chairman and adviser to Senator John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign when Palin was his running mate.
"I think if she got in she'd be a very potent force. She has a large following and she inspires people," Duprey said. "But from a logistical standpoint I think it would be extremely difficult in the early primary states for her to put together an effective organization."
A book by author Joe McGinniss, "The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin," is due to be released next week and continues the drumbeat of allegations against her.
It alleges that as an unmarried, 23-year-old sports reporter, she had a one-night stand with a future professional basketball player and later had an affair with a business associate of her husband Todd.
Todd Palin issued a withering statement about McGinniss and his book, saying he has a "creepy obsession with my wife."
"His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo, and smears. Even The New York Times called this book 'dated, petty,' and that it 'chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip,'" he said.

This post is a continuation of a series of reviews I'm doing for popular budgeting packages after our recent Personal Finance Hour episode on budgeting. This one covers PocketSmith [4] [3], a New Zealand-based company founded by James Wigglesworth, Jason Leong, and Francois Bondiguel.
Every tool needs differentiator, a way they solve a problem that beats the competition, and it takes only a few seconds to realize what that is for PocketSmith [4]. PocketSmith's claim to fame, embodied by their slogan "Forecasting Made Simple," is that they help you manage your personal finances by helping you forecast your financial future. By accurately planning and forecasting your future spending, will remove some of the mystery and anxiety and replace it with a plan you can work towards.
PocketSmith Is Free
Before I get into the various features, PocketSmith has three levels of service and the lowest one is absolutely free. You can see all of the features I write about for yourself without paying a dime. The Free service lets you track two calendars and six events, which is enough to let you play with the system and see if it's right for you. I like it when tools let you try them for free without a trial period, albeit on a limited basis, because then I won't have to worry about canceling before the trial.
PocketSmith Forecasting Calendars
The first thing that jumps out at you about PocketSmith is that they focus very heavily on forecasting. The tool works off a series of calendars. You can structure the calendars however you want but the idea is that each one represents a different category in your finances. If you use envelope budgeting, each calendar could represent an envelope.
At the top of every screen is this chart:
The chart to the left shows your forecasted and actual budget. Each dot represents a week and in this particular chart, the actual and forecasted figures are exactly on the dot. The idea of showing you the whole year is so that you can see how your finances today will affect your finances in a few months. A major expense today will change your actuals for the next twelve months and this chart will show you that immediately.
Underneath the chart is the calendar (click to enlarge):
This is where you can schedule all of your transactions the forecasting tool will use to predict your balances.
Goal Tracking
You can set goals for yourself and PocketSmith will give you an indication of how long it will take to reach that goal, given your budgeting. For each goal, you simply set a title, the dollar value of that goal, a buffer, and which calendar is applies to. What PocketSmith does is tell you how many days until you have enough of an excess in your budget to pay for your goal, plus the buffer, on the specified calendar.
They have three tiers of service – Free, Premium ($5/mo), and Super ($12/mo). The only difference between the three tiers is how many things you can track in your budgeting calendars and how far into the future you can see. The Free plan lets you track six events and 2 calendars, Premium lets you track unlimited events across five calendars, and the Super plan lets you track unlimited events over 12 calendars. There are other differences but those are the largest quantitative ones (Premium and Super let you export to CSV and PDF, whereas free does not).
The strength of PocketSmith is in it's ability to predict and plan for the future through the use of calendars. In addition to the calendars, there's a rich set of reporting tools that I only briefly played with. Finally, there aren't any security issues to deal with because you never give PocketSmith your credentials when uploading transaction data.
If you use PocketSmith, I've love to hear your opinions of the tool in the comments. I only played with it briefly so I defer to seasoned veterans for their thoughts.

One of Britain's biggest and oldest fund managers is to move into new London headquarters as confidence in the Square Mile continues to rise.
Schroders is expected to confirm today that it plans to occupy a development by Brookfield Office Properties and Oxford Properties in partnership with the City of London Corporation, which owns the freehold.
An agreement by the 200-year-old company to leave its Gresham Street home for a 300,000 sq ft office at One London Wall Place will be the largest pre-let deal — when tenants agree terms before a building is finished — in the City since 2010. Since

Jürgen Klinsmann: One-on-One
When football folk get together to debate the legends of the European game, there can't be many who have entertained, amused and enraged fans quite as much as Jürgen Klinsmann, the infamous Stuttgart bomber. And, on the eve of Euro 2004, FourFourTwo finds the former Tottenham chest-slider in Lisbon to grill him on goals, jokes and the biggest elephant in the room - diving.
These days Klinsmann chooses to live in the United States with his American wife and family. His impeccable English, having avoided all traces of a US accent, now shows just enough of a sprinkling of American terminology to give the game away.
Although not taking the route into football management chosen by some of his contemporaries, he retains connections to the game, not least as technical advisor to the Los Angeles Galaxy. He's also employed by MasterCard as a football spokesperson and. To English fans at least, it should come as no surprise that he's a mass debater – he always was the kind of player who sparked fierce arguments in pubs and clubs up and down the country.
His stay in Portugal is brief, however. After the opening match between the hosts and Greece, he flies back to his adopted home state of California, where he will watch the remainder of the tournament on American pay-per-view television, before returning to Portugal in time for the final.
Did you ever seriously consider going into the family baking business? I could just see you in a baker's hat…
Sara Collins, via e-mail
No, not really. I did my diploma as a baker simply to have the chance as a 16-year-old to start training with a professional team. My dad's advice was simple: get a degree and a profession and then you can move over to professional football later on. So I never seriously considered it – but I learnt how to bake and my degree is hanging in the bakery. My speciality? I liked making Swabian pretzels. That's a particular kind of a roll from the region where I come from in Stuttgart and I liked to make that. [Laughs] My dad was always happy with my work in that area.
What's the most number of goals you've ever scored in a game – professional or amateur?
Trevor Gardener, Manchester
Well, as a professional I think it was five goals in a Bundesliga game for Stuttgart against Dusseldorf. It was in an away game and it ended 7-0. It just happened that the week before the game, Stuttgart had fired coach Otto Baric, who's now the Croatia national team coach. But I didn't get along with him so well and when he got fired the assistant manager took over and it got me all free again and self-confident and I showed that in the next game, scoring five goals. The most goals I scored in a game as a kid was 16 – that was when I was 10 years old and the game ended 20-0. The game was two halves of 20 minutes, so in just 40 minutes I scored 16 goals and that stayed my record. I don't remember the goalkeeper's name but it was a local game against a town close to Stuttgart.
Is it true that you used to practice pole vault to improve your running technique? Did it work?
Jon Halsey, London
No, that's not true. My brother actually did that as he was a decathlete, but I just did additional speed training. I started to do that at the age of 18, training with track and field coaches on the side two times extra per week and it helped me to get a lot faster actually.
Was your Olympic bronze medal in 1988 the highlight of your career?
Robert Frobisher, via e-mail
It was certainly one of my highlights because the Olympics for footballers is something very special. To be a part of the Olympic village, to see all the other competitions... I remember in Seoul I had the chance to watch the big track-and-field meetings and I saw one of my friends, long-distance runner Dieter Baumann, winning the silver medal in his 5000m – I was screaming and cheering in the stadium and it was a very special experience. But at the end of the day, for a footballer the bigger competitions are the World Cup and the European Championships.
The Germans have a reputation for having no sense of humour. Prove it wrong. Tell us your best joke?
Marty McLeod, Dundee
[Big laugh] I think we have a pretty good sense of humour... and without telling a joke, I think that there's a lot of similar things between English and German people, but I think both sides don't want to admit it. Maybe because of what happened a long time ago in the past, there's this big rivalry, but at the end of the day I think both nations are very funny. The English jokes they always told me at Spurs were about the Germans on vacation and how they get up at 7am to put their towels by the pool and then go back to bed. Stuff like that I think is kind of funny, but wherever you live in the world there are certain things that people do and then they make fun of each other. In Germany we often make jokes about Austrians and it's the same the other way round. [FFT: Did you ever get to the pool and get your towel down early when you were with Spurs?] No, never. Unfortunately we never stayed in such a warm place that we would be able to lie by the pool.
Be honest: is your other car a Porsche?
VW Beetle, Stuttgart
I had the [1967 Volkswagen] Beetle for a long time and it was always my fun car to enjoy, but before coming to Spurs in 1994 – when I played in Monaco and when I played in Italy – I also had different models of Porsche. But the Beetle was always with me in a certain way, and when we came to London it made absolutely no sense having a Porsche because there was so much traffic. You're not getting anywhere fast, so if you have a Porsche instead of a Beetle it doesn't really matter. Unfortunately when I left Spurs in 1995, I drove the Beetle down to Munich, and the car stopped running three times at gas stations. I took it to a garage and the guy said, "Just forget it, the car is falling apart." So that was the end of the Beetle – it was too old and it was rusty all over the place. Funnily enough, though, a guy came and said he'd love to fix it up so I just said, "Take it."
Is it true that when you were at Bayern Munich, Lothar Matthaus bet the general manager £5,000 that you wouldn't score 15 goals in your second season? Did it feel good to leave him out of pocket?
Mark Wilson, Wapping
The bet is true, but I don't know about the amount. I don't know if it was £5,000 or £2,000, but I got pretty upset about it. Fortunately he lost the bet because I scored 15 goals and later on it became a topic between us when we had some talks – we looked back and said, "That was not so good." At the time the bet was part of big arguments going on between us, but we're friends now.
What's the best goal you've ever scored?
Nigel Hunter, Sheffield
It was when I was playing for Stuttgart against Bayern Munich in 1987 – and it was a bicycle kick. Basically it was the goal that opened the doors to international football for me, because a month later, Franz Beckenbauer called me up to the national squad and shortly after that I got my first cap – that's why it was the most special goal. Also, for a striker, a bicycle kick is something special, something that you love to do. You dream about scoring with a bicycle kick, but if you score that goal in a very big game in front of a 70,000 sell-out crowd – and Stuttgart against Bayern Munich is like Tottenham against Arsenal – then it's even better.
If Frank Rijkaard had spat at you rather than Rudi Völler during the match against Holland at Italia 90, what would you have done?
Terry Rogers, via e-mail
You just don't know what you do if something like this happens. I was happy with the way Rudi Völler reacted. He got mad but he didn't get out of control. Afterwards, Frank Rijkaard apologised and said that he was just over-motivated – he didn't have himself under control. But you never wish to get into a situation like that because maybe you'll over-react yourself, so I was fortunate that I was not in that position because I don't know what I would have done.
Does it tarnish your achievement that you won the World Cup in 1990 thanks to Rudi Voller diving for a penalty? Or did the Argentinian tactics in that game warrant Voller's reaction?
Ian Blankley, Hexham
It was certainly not a clear penalty and Rudi said that straight afterwards too. The clear penalty was just before that actually, from the Argentina goalkeeper on Klaus Augenthaler. I think the referee was saying, "I missed the call right before," so he called it in that moment. It was an aggressive game. There were two sent off and it was just unfortunate that Argentina didn't open up, they were just sitting back, trying to kill the rhythm of the match rather than playing their own game. Unfortunately it was decided on a penalty, but we were clearly the better team. Argentina never had a chance – they were simply sitting back and hoping for maybe one magical counter-attack through Maradona. It made the game itself not very exciting, but we absolutely deserved to win that title in 1990 because we were actually the strongest team.
Did you laugh when you saw Diego Maradona blubbing his eyes out in 1990? And if not, why not?
Rik Marley, Lostock
Absolutely not because I was always a big admirer of Diego Maradona. I think as player he was an artist who had an incredible talent and for a long time he was the best player in the world. Unfortunately he was never able to control his life off the pitch. I found the recent events very sad… that he just can't get his personal life under control. Would I let myself go like that? Absolutely not.
Hand on heart, were you a diver?
Jack Sullivan, via e-mail
I never was a diver and I never dived. But when I first came to Spurs and I heard about this story it was a big lesson for me about how to handle the English media. Fortunately I had the help of Teddy Sheringham and my team-mates. They taught me that in England, as a person in the public eye, you often get provoked by the media because they want to see you react, and it is the English humour that you should never feel offended, that you should always "top" any kind of provocative situation. So Teddy advised me to do a dive after scoring my first goal and that kind of turned everything around. The joke made me popular in England but I was also lucky at that time because I was scoring the goals. You can say, "When you score, do a dive and joke about the situation," but if you don't score you can't make the joke. But through that I learned important lessons off the football field, because it tells you about the mentality and habits and traditions in a country, which was fascinating for me. I mean, I really tried to learn to "top" things in conversations with friends, or with team-mates, and I learned a lot. It took me a long time to understand Scottish though [laughs].
Is it true that you wanted to turn up for your first press conference at Spurs complete with a snorkel and diving gear?
Chris Wareing, Bristol
The idea came from a German friend of mine who had lived in England and who at that time lived in Monaco. He suggested bringing the snorkel and goggles to the press conference – and I actually had them in my backpack next to me, but instead I simply asked the journalists if they know a diving school in London because I want to take some classes.
When you decided to come to England, were you conscious of your unpopularity here? Did it bother you or was it a challenge?
Jonny Whiteman, via e-mail
No, when I first came I wasn't conscious about it because I had come from Monaco where things were very quiet and you're not that much in the spotlight. When I came to England for the media presentation I was very surprised at the amount of attention. In the beginning it was very difficult for me because I was constantly followed by photographers, by paparazzi and by the media, which made it a little bit uncomfortable for the first few weeks. But after maybe six or eight weeks they realised that me and my wife live a normal life just like anybody else and then they left us alone, and from that moment on we had a wonderful time in London.
How much fun did you have playing in that ridiculously attacking Tottenham side under Ossie Ardiles?
Kurt Boardman, Weymouth
It was not ridiculous at all playing with these five attacking players. I had a lot of fun and I still think that had we been more consistent defensively, and not made so many individual mistakes at the back, we could have played that system. Mistakes happen at the back but they were not mistakes based on the system, they were just individual errors. But it was an exciting time. Fans always like to see a lot of goals, especially Spurs fans.
How did you feel to be voted Footballer of the Year in 1995 knowing what your reputation in the country had been like when you first came to England?
Billy Simmons, via e-mail
For me it was a wonderful achievement and it was a wonderful award, because I knew that, besides how I was seen in the beginning, it was something outstanding for a foreign player to become English Footballer of the Year. It is something very exceptional – and it makes you very, very proud. Being on a list with the big English players of the past, of their history, is something that really honours you. I was actually the second German player to receive the award because goalkeeper Bert Trautmann had that honour years before me, but it was still something very special.
What was your relationship like with the manager Christian Gross when you returned for a second spell at Spurs? Was he insane or just out of his depth?

No, actually Christian was one of the best coaches I've ever had. I just think at that time the tension was so big and the situation was so difficult that nobody could really relax within the environment at Spurs. We were battling against relegation and things got really tense. He came in with his personal Swiss perspective, which was very difficult to handle for the players and for certain people. If he'd done that at a later stage – at the start of a season maybe – it would have been a totally different story, but at that time it was difficult.
Christian and I had some arguments and some tough times, but it was very important to do that. It was not good PR-wise because the papers were full of our arguments, but it helped to move things in the right direction internally. He had a tremendous impact on the way we got out of the relegation zone and I, from more of a team perspective, had my influence. We clashed because when you have problems you have to work on solving them, and you can't solve problems if you don't mention them. I didn't care about the media coverage. It didn't matter if Christian Gross looked no good or Klinsmann looked no good, the only thing that mattered was that we needed to get out of that mess, and we did. A year later I invited Christian to my farewell game at Stuttgart and we had a wonderful talk and a great time. I'm really happy that in the last few years he has proved with his successes with Basle in Switzerland that he's a tremendously good coach.

What would you do with one of Alan Sugar's newly-pressed, pinstriped shirts?
Richard Arrowsmith, Brighton
I actually think Alan Sugar did a marvellous job for Spurs. If you look now at the stadium at White Hart Lane, at the training ground at the Spurs Lodge, this was all Alan Sugar's work. He had the ambition of taking the club to the next level with the infrastructure – but unfortunately he didn't get the satisfaction of taking Spurs into Europe, to establish Spurs as a team among the European big names. But what he did for that club was tremendous. The joke he made at the time [Sugar said he wouldn't wash his car with Klinsmann's shirt] was made out of frustration because he wanted me badly to stay at Spurs. We talked about that later on and there was no problem at all. No problem.
Come on, admit it: Germany were lucky to beat England in 1990, even luckier to beat them in Euro 96 and amazingly lucky to get to the final two years ago.
Alan Souch, Swindon
I agree that we were lucky in 1990 because you certainly need luck in a penalty shootout. For the same reason, we were lucky in 1996 with a penalty shootout. But the German team were not just lucky in 2002 to get to the World Cup final because they did a great job in a year when no one expected them to go so far. Yes, I admit that it seems the luck was on our side in the penalty shootouts in 1990 and 1996, but also maybe we were just able to control our nerves a little bit better than England.
You've criticised the desire of the current generation of German footballers. Is Rudi Voller an inspiring sort of chap? Do you think there is a problem with what is being taught at grass roots level?
David Carlisle, Croydon
Rudi Voller is without doubt the best coach we could have for the national team. We have problems at the grass roots level because right now we are not developing as many creative players as we've had, like [Pierre] Littbarski or [Thomas] Hassler, in the recent generation. This comes down to an overall problem we have with the society because the kids have too many other things they can do. They're not playing football every day anymore – and if you're not playing in the backyard every day, you're not developing that amount of creativity like we would do. They have to find new ways of getting the kids back on the field and getting them playing more – and the more they play the better they get and the more creative they get. But there's a long way for Germany to go to get the kids back to being enthusiastic about football.
You played under the false name Jay Goppingen for your local side the Orange City Blue Stars in America. Why?
Eddie Brennan, New Jersey
I actually didn't know about it until I heard it in an article. But it seems the guy who runs the league played about with my name on their website, because he didn't want it to get out. So he actually changed my name – he used my place of birth, Goppingen – but I was happy because people left me alone and I could play amateur football locally, but that was it. Whenever I get the chance I play with those guys because it is just a great recreational workout, nothing special but it keeps me going.
You were offered a senior position at VFB Stuttgart soon after you retired, but turned it down for personal reasons. What sort of job would make you return to football?
Simon Banks, via e-mail
Well, I'm actually still involved in football. I'm the technical advisor of the Los Angeles Galaxy in the Major League Soccer, so I train with the team and I work with the coaching staff and the management staff at the club. And on top of that I try to kick the ball about as often as I can with my amateur team. The reason why we live in America is simply for family reasons – my wife is from California and we have our kids growing up there so it works out really perfectly, so for sure short-term we don't consider any move back to Europe.
You've been part of a Germany team that benefited from a penalty shootout in 1990 and a Golden Goal at Euro 96. What do you really think is the best way to settle a match?
Alex Lawrence, via e-mail
Personally, I thought the Golden Goal rule was the best way to settle a match. It's even more emotional than winning a penalty shootout. It's difficult to say, though. Sooner or later you have to do something to finish a game, but I wouldn't mind just to keep on going until the first goal happens.
Who is the best striker in the world today, and why?
Jim Grain, Warrington
I think the best right now is Thierry Henry because he is a complete striker. He is a hard worker for his team but he also has an incredible instinct about where to go in specific moments and great decision-making about how he wants to score goals. His timing is always right and he proved that with Arsenal the entire season and on national team level now constantly over a couple of years, so he might be the best one right now.
If you could change one rule to make football a better game, what would it be?
Wayne Gambon, via e-mail
I wouldn't change anything about football. I'd keep it exactly as it is.
The VW Beetle, backpacking, the hair, California – you've always seemed something of a hippy. Have you ever experimented with recreational drugs?
Rainbow Warrior, via e-mail
No, uh-uh.
Anything in your career you regret?
Erica Young, Warwick
No, nothing. I was pretty fortunate not having big injuries during my career, which obviously helps. And I was lucky to play in four different countries during that career and meet a lot of great people and learn a lot from different mentalities and people.

Lebih lanjut, gelandang komplit asal Pantai Gading itu menilai bahwa Olb365.com Agen Judi Bola Online, Agen Judi Casino Online Indonesia Terpercaya memiliki filosofi permainan yang berbeda saat ini jika dibandingkan saat masih dilatih oleh Roberto Mancini. Ia juga menyinggung target tim saat ini.
"Dulu bersama Mancini, kami bermain lebih bertahan dan saat ini bersama Pellegrini kami total menyerang. Setiap pemain memiliki pendapatnya masing-masing, tetapi saat ini dengan Pellegrini, setiap pemain di sini sangat menyukainya," tambahnya.
"Untuk kami, skenario yang sempurna adalah memenangkan keduanya (Liga Champions dan Premier League) tetapi kami tahu target tersebut sangatlah sulit dan kami akan mencobanya," tuntas adik dari Agen Ibcbet ini.
Ibcbet – Seiring berjalannya periode senja karier, David James malah diterpa krisis finansial. Bekas kiper tim nasional Inggris itu mulai mengalami kebangkrutan. Terpaksa, beberapa barang memorabilia nan berharga masuk daftar lelang.
Kiper berusia 44 tahun yang juga pernah membela SBOBET – Liverpool dan Manchester City itu sedianya masih menyambung kariernya, sebagai pemain sekaligus pelatih di sebuah klub ISL (Indian Super League), Agen Bola Terpercaya.
Akan tetapi gajinya di Agen Bola nampaknya belum bisa menutupi krisis keuangan pribadi sang kiper yang punya 53 caps bersama The Three Lions itu.
Sebagaimana dikutip Taruhan Bola Online Agen Bola, Rabu (5/11/2014), James mendaftarkan sekitar 150 barang untuk dilelang yang sebagian besar merupakan memorabilia berharga sepanjang kariernya.
James memasukkan 150 barang tersebut ke HilcoIndustrial, situs lelang onlineyang berbasis di Kota Napoleon, Ohio Taruhan Bola– Amerika Serikat.
Beberapa barang yang coba dilelangnya adalah sejumlah jersey kiper timnas Inggris yang pernah dipakainya, serta beberapa jersey pemain lawan yang pernah bertukar dengannya.
Ada pula sejumlah jersey klub Premier League yang pernah ditandatangani rekan setimnya, ditambah berbagai barang yang tak ada hubunganya dengan olahraga, macam sepeda klasik Raleigh, sampai sebuah mobil Rajamerah.com situs judi Poker online terbaik terpercaya.
Pulaujudi.com Master Agen Judi Bola Online Terbaik dan Terpercaya di Indonesia – Arsène Wenger kini tak perlu lagi dibikin ribet oleh masalah resleting jaketnya. Problem ini sedianya sepele, tapi kadang membuat nakhoda Arsenalitu kesal setiap kali kesulitan mengancingkan resleting jaket lamanya.
Musim sebelumnya, Sbobet sering terlihat kesulitan, baik saat berdiri di pinggir lapangan, maupun sedang terduduk di bench, hanya untuk mengancingkan resleting jaket Nike-nya (Indomasterbola.com Agen Judi Bola, Taruhan Bola Terbaik dan Terpercaya).
Kerap kali, rekaman Wenger itu bahkan dijadikan candaan dan bahkan pem-bully-an di beragam media sosial.
Tapi kini problem itu sudah terpecahkan. Puma sebagai apparel baru Arsenal musim ini, menyediakan jaket dengan resleting yang lebih inovatif. Kini, Wenger tak lagi harus kerepotan mengancingkan resleting jaket panjangnya hingga ke leher demi menahan udara dingin.
Jaket baru dari JagadPoker.com Agen Texas Poker & Domino Online Indonesia Terpercaya ini sedikit berbeda dalam hal resletingnya. Tak seperti jaket-jaket pada lazimnya, jaket yang disediakan Puma ini punya kait resleting ganda.
Kait bawah untuk menyatukan dua rel resleting, sementara satu kait di atasnya yang saling tersambung dengan kait bawahnya, berguna untuk memudahkan Wenger menaikkan resletingnya.
"Di BOLAWIN88.COM BANDAR TARUHAN AGEN JUDI BOLA CASINO POKER DOMINO BOLATANGKAS DAN TOGEL ONLINE TERPERCAYA INDONESIA, kami tahu bahwa sepakbola tidak bisa diprediksi. Anda harus siap untuk hal apapun, baik itu lawan yang berat maupun cuaca yang buruk," papar Puma dalam komersial barunya.
"Ada banyak macam hal yang bisa mengubah pertandingan. Jika Anda seorang pelatih, Anda butuh fokus. Anda tak bisa membiarkan apapun memecah fokus Anda, termasuk masalah resleting," lanjut pernyataan apparel asal JINPOKER.COM Agen Judi Poker Online dan Domino Online Indonesia Terpercaya itu.

Reasons To Be Cheerful - # 7
Clementines and satsumas.
They arrive in the dead of winter, in the slough of November, when the days are dark and everything's drained of colour, little bright juicy balls of Spanish sunshine, and they get even better as the days get still darker then peak at Christmastime and in early Jan when all the choc and booze and rich food leaves you craving their clean-sweet citrussy tang even more. Super-sealed by Mamma Nature for freshness, handy-sized for lunchboxes, easy peel and easy split, those bijou juice-packed segments. I'm having one right now with my cup of tea and all this blethering, Yum.

FOR TRUCKERS, VACATIONERS OR JUST PLAIN ROAD WARRIORS, FINDING THE right radio station has always been a matter of guesswork. In other words: Don't they listen to real music around here? Relax. After seven years of research and travel along some 20,000 miles of America's interstates, Paul Rocheleau has compiled this book, a countrywide, two-volume guide to AM and FM stations (Berkley, paper, $8.95 each). It lists 20 radio formats in 68 cities, giving call letters and signal strengths. Eastern and western editions make it easy to find jazz in Nashville, a Spanish language station in Duluth or surf hits in the Big Apple. Just don't try to read all this small print while you drive.

Download The original framers of ARPAnet did not foresee the growth of what is now known as the Internet, or that the IPv4 address structure would fall short of the addresses needed, or all the new devices that would need IP addressing. Consequently, the IPv4 addresses are being exhausted. IPv6 satisfies the increasingly complex requirements of hierarchical addressing that IPv4 does not provide. One key benefit is that IPv6 can re-create end-to-end communications without the need for NAT--a requirement for a new generation of shared-experience and real-time applications. This white paper explains why a transition from IPv4 to IPv6 can be beneficial.

Have you ever felt out of place and uncomfortable? The only gringo at a quincenaera? A heart-on-your-sleeve Sicilian at Connecticut yachting regalia? To quote Joan Rivers, "Can we talk?"
ProArts production of "Social Security" by Andrew Bergman played to sold-out houses this weekend and it is a very fine, very funny production. But (cue dramatic sting), not everything in it works.
Here's what does work. When you enter the building you're instantly transported into a New York City apartment (designed by Caro Walker), ready to have an East Coast theater experience. Director Kristi Scott blocks the movement in the tiny space like comedy choreography. In many ways, the movement and placement drive the laughs.

Norman Halip and Joyce Romero (seated) cause distress for Kevin Hazelton in Chaney Cramer in "Social Security."
Jack Grace Photography photo
Costumer Marsha Kelly has done an impeccable job at presenting the '80s, as opposed to overstating the era. Chaney Sara Cramer is well cast as Barbara Kahn, 39ish wife and art dealer. Cramer brings a confidant "Sex in the City" attitude to the show from its first lines. Equally compelling is Angela Thompson as Barbara's uptight sister, Trudy Heyman. Thompson is so convincing as a ball of nerves, New York Jewish middle-aged woman that in many ways she steals the show.
Norman Halip IS his character, Maurice Koenig, and Halip is the only actor on Maui who could play this part convincingly. Joyce Romero shines as always in the role of Barbara and Trudy's mother, Sophie Greengrass, and the show hits a full stride once Romero's character arrives.
Bergman's comedy of surprises is a slow build, tick tick tick up the roller coaster. First we are introduced to Barbara and her husband, David (Kevin Hazelton), successful, hip Manhattan art dealers living a perfectly controlled life with little to no conflict. Their regular Tuesday night is interrupted by an unexpected visit from sister and brother-in-law, Trudy and Martin Heyman (Jonathan Lehman filling in for Jonathan Yudis on the night I attended). A stressful talk is pending as the Heymans need to meet in person with Barbara and David.
The sit-down juxtaposes the dull Heymans against the hip Kahns, schvitzed with a little Jewish guilt that Trudy has to take care of their cranky mom, Sophie, and a teenage daughter, while Barbara lives the high life in Manhattan. The big news is eventually revealed that daughter Sarah Heyman is a "girl gone wild" and Bergman does not spare the graphic yet hysterical sexual details. Now she's shacked up with two men in Buffalo, Billy and Gonzalvo.
Compounding the uncomfortable conversation is Trudy and Martin's decision to rescue their daughter, thereby depositing Sophie into the care of Barbara and David for several weeks.
The second act reveals that Sophie has now ruined Barbara's perfect life, especially in a revealing scene played to perfection by Romero as Barbara prepares for a dinner party. Romero delivers one of the most fearless and LOL moments ever seen on Maui. If for no other reason, go see "Social Security" for this alone.
The Marc Chagall-like character, Maurice, the guest of honor, finds Sophie utterly charming and a romance ensues that transforms Sophie back into the woman she once was. The return of the Heymans add one last twist to Bergman's comedy roller coaster and in the end Sophie, not Barbara may be the one who truly gets life.
Where ProArts' "Social Security" jumps its roller coaster track is in the New York style that is the script. Bergman's script is back loaded: Its first act is exposition-filled, followed by a second-act punch line. This requires a cast and director to make the audience identify with and believe in the characters as well as their relationships to each other.
There are dead ends where the cast appears out of place and uncomfortable playing native Jewish New Yorkers. Yiddish slang sounds unnatural. I would have liked to have heard mashuganah come out as if they were saying lolo. New York Jewish comedy is best played with a fast clip pace. Most of the production's timing works but when it comes to a halt, that roller-coaster momentum is lost, temporarily hijacking uproarious laughter and replacing it with a medium laugh. Playing something that is not already ingrained in you is very difficult. You can't know it's not cool to take a rock from the Iao Valley unless someone tells you why.
"Social Security" is very funny and with a little more familiarity and comfort it should get more and more funny with each subsequent performance.
* "Social Security" contains some adult content. Performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays through Sept.18 at the ProArts Playhouse in Kihei. Thursdays and Saturdays are kamaaina nights, with $15 tickets with Hawaii I.D. Regular-price tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students 18 and younger. Call 463-6550 for tickets or more information.
