Was it anger, frustration or merely embarrassment that led to Arsene Wenger storming off down the tunnel at Eastlands without shaking Mark Hughes's hand?
Wenger's misplaced belief in his latest crop of youngsters was shown up as Arsenal lost 3-0 to Manchester City in their Carling Cup quarter-final, their third defeat in their last four matches.
The Gunners have now shipped 10 goals in their last three trips to the City of Manchester Stadium, and Wenger left the dugout right on the final whistle, neglecting to congratulate his opposite number.
The beef had been bubbling under nicely throughout the match, and Wenger looked perturbed when Hughes encroached into his side of the technical area to kick a stray ball to one of his players.
Whatever message he was trying to send out, all he achieved was to add a little extra bonus to Sparky's evening. If Hughes is to become a top manager with City, regularly getting under the skin of one of his main rival bosses is a good way to start going about things.
Hughes described Wenger's reaction as "ungracious", barely suppressing a smile as he did so, but Wenger was indignant, sarcastically claiming he had no professional courtesy and reminding everyone just who the Champions League manager was out of the two.
He said, while wrapping Sanchez Watt and Craig Eastmond up in cotton wool for another season: "It is a competition for our younger players. If I don't play them here where would I play them?
"We played in the quarter-final of the Champions League last season against top teams. Playing in those matches is 10 times harder than playing in the Carling Cup."
City now face local rivals United in the last four, which is great news for them now that Alex Ferguson has promised to continue fielding some of his own fringe players.
They are now close to emulating those other nouveau riche gatecrashers, Chelsea, by making the Carling Cup the first reward for their obscene spending.
- - -
For a player of just 18 years of age and two full appearances behind him, Gael Kakuta has already managed to gain extraordinary notoriety.
After the row over whether he was induced into signing for Chelsea led to the club's suspended transfer ban, Kakuta finally made an impressive debut against Wolves, but last night missed the decisive spot-kick as the Blues were knocked out of the Carling Cup at Blackburn.
The good thing about penalty shoot-outs is that you can play it how you want - either the keeper is a hero or the man who misses the deciding kick is the villain. Pillorying a teenager for failing to convert a penalty is a little harsh, but the extra spotlight on him gave his miss plenty of resonance.
All credit to Paul Robinson for his performance, including saving another kick from Michael Ballack (that's right, a German), but Kakuta's shot straight at the keeper led to Chelsea's sixth defeat in their last seven shootouts. In this day and age, however, he is unlikely to find solace in a pizza commercial.
Just as Alberto Aquilani's half-hour of playing time for Liverpool has seen the Reds crash out of the Carling Cup, Champions League and scrape a disappointing draw with Birmingham in the league, Chelsea fans may just be wondering if it's really worth all the bother.
- - -
Everton cruised into the last 128 of the Europa League with a 1-0 win at AEK Athens, but the win came at a cost. The Toffees can now add Jo, Sylvain Distin and Dan Gosling to their ridiculously long injury list.
David Moyes did his best to see the bright side of the dodgy Olimpiako Stadio pitch, saying: "It was like back to the old days. I would have enjoyed it in my playing days but I don't know how some of the players felt about the conditions out there."
Never mind playing all these extra matches in Europe, at the rate Everton continue to accrue injuries they should think of pulling out of all football for a while, otherwise they'll end up having to field two goalkeepers, just as Gillingham did on Tuesday night.
As for Celtic, they crashed out of Europe despite a 2-0 win over Hapoel Tel Aviv. Still, as they lie third in Group C they are the best-placed candidates to drop down into the next level of competition, the All-Lanarkshire U12s trophy.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I have nothing to say. I am free to shake hands with whom I want" - Wenger's moody response when asked why he failed to extend Mark Hughes any professional courtesy.
FOREIGN VIEW: "One sees that they do not support that we become leaders and when Barça beat Madrid. Notice that they must take secret, treacherous photos and later publish with the intention of disparaging me. We were within the framework of a private celebration. We celebrated with friends the team's victory over Real Madrid. This is the character of the Spanish media. This harms the right to the privacy, it has no integrity and a lack of professional ethics" - Marca reports Barcelona chief Joan Laporta slamming the press for publishing pictures of his wild post-Clasico celebrations, handily illustrated with a couple of said pictures.
COMING UP: There is one more bit of Brit-based Europa League action this evening, with Fulham still very much in the Group E mix. Follow LIVE text commentary of the Cottagers' clash with CSKA Sofia from 20:00.

A blog to take on the real RAG (Rightwing, Absolute Garbage) content, especially if local. Occasional media criticism, of the sane variety.
Wednesday, 7 December 2011
Winnipeg Sun takes page from Bill O'Reilly
One of Bill O'Reilly's many temper tantrums was over some big department stores choosing to greet their customers "happy holidays" rather than "merry Christmas". HOW OUTRAGEOUS! OH THE HUMANITY! I mean, I know some people are starving to death, but that pales in comparison to the indignity of being greeted "happy holidays" and having to use your imagination to fill in which holiday applies to you.
In the end, as with many shameless peddlers in moral outrage, it turned out that O'Reilly was less than true to his "principles".
Fox "News", incidentally, serves as a role model* for Canada's network of daily RAGs - the Sun Media dailies, which the Winnipeg Sun is a part of. The stuff Fox "News" spews, generally, is too toxic for Canada, so Sun Media has to tone it down a bit - focusing more on economic policy and less on culture war BS quite alien to the relatively reasonable country of Canada.
But it looks like the Winnipeg Sun's gone beyond the point of no return this year. They've imported panic over "happy holidays" to the True North!
Browsing the Winnipeg Sun website, a video heading that caught my eye:
Poll says most Manitobans celebrate Christmas (there's a print version here).
Wow, just wow. The Sun hack who did that "journalism" was Ross Romaniuk.
This pressing social issue that Romaniuk just absolutely had to comment on was how, while some organizations use "happy holidays" to be more inclusive, that's somehow refuted because 92% of Canadians celebrate Christmas and 76% say "merry Christmas" rather than "happy holidays", regardless of what those nefariously "politically correct" folks say.
On the surface, that's a pretty dumb (insinuated) refutation, as there's still an 8% of Canadians who you're potentially being inclusive to by saying "happy holidays" and, because people celebrate Christmas doesn't mean that's the only winter holiday they celebrate.
To add some bulk to his insubstantial report, Romaniuk then interviews Tom Hay (whose at the Christmas Cheer Board during the interview), who agrees with the Sun's (heavily implied) position.
Winnipeg resident Tom Hay, however, said Christmas is a lot more "than just a holiday" that might fall on other dates of the year.I really have no idea what the hell the relevance of this quote is to anything, but I'll just let 'er go.
"If they want it just as a holiday," Hay said of those who want to diminish Christmas, "they should just put it on the calendar as a civic holiday, other than as a special day — which it is."
Then Romaniuk interviews Kai Madsen, the executive director of the Winnipeg Christmas Cheer Board (a charity that works at making Christmas a reality for poorer families -started by Winnipeg Churches in 1919, the same year as Winnipeg's General Strike):
Madsen recalls former Manitoba premier Gary Doer, while in office several years ago, renaming a legislature Christmas tree as a so-called "holiday" tree.
"I had an opportunity one time to discuss it with him and chastised him severely," he said. "And since then, to my understanding, it's been called a Christmas tree — just like it should be."
Madsen suggested he's not surprised at the results of the online survey, which polled more than 1,000 people from Dec. 2 to Dec. 4. He said that though political correctness had obstructed Christmas greetings, decorations and celebrations to a greater extent about a decade ago, that sort of thing has not been nearly as common since Canada returned to common sense.
You know, for someone who runs a Christmas-focused charity, Madsen certainly displays quite a bit of pettiness and not enough generosity here. I mean, who f*cking cares if they call it a holiday tree? Is it really such a bloody indignity for you to mentally fill in the blanks for your preferred holiday (Christmas, Yule, or the Solstice being the three I can think of that'd be applicable - although there probably aren't that many Germanic Neo-Pagans in Manitoba who'd celebrate Yule).
It's amazing, personally, how the article also seems to ignore the fact that a lot of generic"holiday" references occur earlier than the exact time or exact week of Christmas. You know, at the time when there's other holidays that some people are plausibly celebrating instead of (or in addition to) Christmas.
Honestly, if you were a charitable director and had access to the Premier of Manitoba, would whining about the name given to a decorated tree on government property really be high on that list? I mean, what kind of person does that?!
According to a new Abacus Data survey, 92% of Canadians celebrate Christmas. And in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, 93% of the citizenry celebrates the Dec. 25 holiday.
"Ninety-three is a wonderful number. Now all we have to do is work for 99," Kai Madsen, executive director of Winnipeg's Christmas Cheer Board, said Tuesday of the poll's findings. "I'd like to say thank you to all the people in Winnipeg, of course, and merry Christmas — and I mean merry Christmas."
Oh. That kind of person.
Well, 'tis the season to be generous. So, I'd just like to show my best wishes to Romaniuk and Madsen with this lovely button.
*The other role model being, of course, the UK Sun paper, which is owned by the same man who owns Fox "News" (Rupert Murdoch).
Postscript: The Toronto Sun has proven that not all Sun dailies stoop to the same level all the time. It's coverage of the poll is a lot more thoughtful, substantiative, and meaningful - talking both about the relatively secular history and secular present of Christmas, as well as the effects of the global financial crisis on giving this time of year. It certainly is a "civic holiday" rather than something of "special observance".

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
A writing and rhetoric teacher at UC Irvine, Hesketh's first novel, Telling the Bees (G.P. Putnam) was inspired by the notorious 1983 Bee Lady murders in Anaheim. More than 15 years in the making, it's an intriguing, well-researched page turner about a lonely beekeeper, working as both a mournful eulogy for a solitary life and an Orange County that has long since disappeared. Heavy with information about bees—think whaling and Moby Dick—the novel also brings about a new appreciation for our little buzzing pollinators at a time when the news of colony collapse from environmental toxins seems ever-present.
Tired of the kids making a mess as they play fort in the living room? Take them to this miniature city, all within the confines of an industrial park building, and let them make a mess there. Kids from infants to 8-year-olds will go wild as they debate Obamacare in the mini-doctors' offices sponsored by Kaiser Permanente; perform an avant-garde play in the small theater; farm plastic fruit and vegetables with rakes and baskets; create a masterpiece at an art studio; build stuff while wearing goggles and orange vests at the construction site; go fishing and build boats at the marina; shop at a tiny Ralphs; go to the beach, where there are lots of sand and buckets and beach chairs—wherever their imaginations take them. It's a living hell if you don't have (or can't stand) children, but an educational, relatively cheap excursion that helps build an active interior life in your child. Better than a night at Chuck E. Cheese.
Last time we visited BC Space in Laguna Beach, we got a personal tour after the closing of the "Capital Crime$" group exhibition. Several pieces had been removed already, leaving sad, empty holes, but photographer/political activist/gallery owner Mark Chamberlain filled us in on what was missing, walking us through what was left. Art is everywhere once you climb the stairs—in every corner and every room. Even the bathroom has something to look at while you're doing your business. The money Chamberlain makes as a commercial photographer subsidizes the tough, topical, completely non-commercial work hidden in the upstairs gallery . . . all in a shopping area of downtown Laguna where you wouldn't even notice it if you didn't know it was there. And now you do. Per the website, "Gallery hours are irregular and event driven, but appointments for viewing may easily be arranged by contacting the gallery." Call now.
While the Laguna Art Museum continues to give it a run for its money each year, the Orange County Museum of Art's first exhibition of 2013—"Richard Jackson: Ain't Painting a Pain," curated by Dennis Szakacs—was so amazing it nailed the honor this year in mid-February. Exhilarating, thoughtful, angry and subversive, it's a travesty Jackson's fantastic body of work didn't get one of these earlier. The museum's second exhibition—curator Dan Cameron's downsized and retitled "2013 California-Pacific Triennial"—is just as adventurous, offering people walking through its doors a veritable roller-coaster ride of art from the Pacific Rim.
Did you know there's a Joan Miro-cast bronze statue in the lobby of a Costa Mesa office building? Yeah, neither did we. But now that we do, we can't take our eyes off it. It's described as a "bird" by various websites, but we know Miro's work. The Spanish Surrealist was as obsessed with sex as we are. Take a long hard look at the statue. It ain't no bird.
Fox's mixed-media, socially conscious painting is heavy on black outlines separating figures from their backgrounds, his people often caught in a colorful nature scene at odds with the technology: umbrellas don't work, businessmen swirl down into whirlpools while still talking on cell phones, butterflies sniff at lost electronics, obese birds sit at the top of collapsing staircases. His 3D figures often lift and separate from their place on the canvases, rising above, possibly escaping. If we had a Kebe Fox coloring book as a kid, we'd be much cooler than we are now.

Fight erupts on flight over reclining seat
NEW YORK - Seat fight! A United Airlines flight was diverted to Chicago after two passengers got into it over a reclining seat.
The dispute started when one of the passengers used a gadget called the Knee Defender, which prevents the seat in front from reclining.
A law enforcement official says a woman asked a man to allow her seat to move but he refused. He also refused a flight attendant's request to remove the device.
Officials say the woman threw a cup of water at the man.
The Newark, New Jersey, to Denver flight landed in Chicago and both passengers were removed. Authorities say the passengers were not charged, but could face civil fines.

I wanted to love this R-rated comedy, but couldn't. I wanted to hate it. Same problem. It's about a sneery pair of metropolitans from Denver (he's a drug dealer, she works in a strip joint) who pretend to be married with children so they can smuggle dope out of Mexico. Along the way, the man tells his inexperienced, vulnerable 18-year-old "son" to perform fellatio on a Mexican cop. There are also gags about tampons, slack vaginas and references to a porn film called Black Cock Down.
It's lazy, misogynistic and over-indebted to the Hangover series, but more jokes than you'd expect work, and shaggy Jason Sudeikis — a dead ringer for Donald Sutherland — bounds along like a puppy with sharp teeth as the drug dealer. British teen Will Poulter (excellent in last year's Wild Bill) is also charming, while Jennifer Aniston is so good as the practical, good-at-faking-it stripper that you wish she had more to do. The film fetishises her perky little body. Giving the actress better lines would have been so much more daring.

@ #2&3 really? you think this was bad or shameful? i thought it was a lot of talented people, clearly having a good time. moreover, to have directly addressed the gil scott-heron track was inspired. quincy jones was great, too. sure buzz aldrin came off looking a tad dorky, but he was in on the joke. there was no shame here, and more importantly no steam punk, nor ukulele.
If only Buzz's appearance on Ali G was also intentionally hilarious.
Buzz is da man! Pure Nerdcore! He's up there with MC Hawking and MC Lars!!
Snoop is cool, he once came out as a big fan of Anne McCaffery and her Dragonrider books on Much Music. I guess like Da Prez, Snoop is a Nerd too! Wish he would do some Nerdcore!
I love Buzz! 'Member when he clocked the "you were never on the moon" lunatic smack in the face? He IS gangsta.
It is wonderful to think that Buzz Aldrin is one of the few people in the world who can say with absolute conviction that he has been higher than Snoop Dogg ever has been or will be.
That was lovely!
This is funnier than I could have ever expected

2012 HB magnaflow catback *NEW*
a. 2012 Magnaflow catback system for hatchback
b. Tulsa, OK local pickup only can't ship because I used the box for something else.
c. $450
e. Meattooth
f. PM meattooth
I used this kit to copy for my 2.5 aluminized mandrel tubing. I no longer need it and it is brand new never installed. LOCAL pickup only because I don't want to mess with shipping.
pic of kit with mine laying on top of it.
Price is now $390.00 local pickup Tulsa, OK
I'd be willing to meet up in Joplin, MO or Oklahoma City for $390.00 purchase price. Also going to Eureaka Springs, Arkansas July 22nd could bring it along if you want to meet up.
Somewhat interested in this. I really want an exhaust that is VERY close to stock quietness though, especially at cruising. Droning or loudness in high gears under moderate load on the highway will drive me crazy.
Anyone have any experience with this system or good audio from it?
Sale pending..... Price reduced to 370.00 if it falls through.

Nov. 5, 2009
By Zach Stipe, Media Relations Graduate Assistant
KNOXIVLLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee women's swimming and diving team will look to remain undefeated in the Southeastern Conference when South Carolina travels to the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center for a 1 p.m. dual meet on Friday.
The Lady Vols (2-1 overall and 2-0 in the SEC) are fresh off a dominating 193-103 victory over Kentucky last week. UT captured 12 swimming events against the Wildcats, as seniors Alex Barsanti and Michele King, sophomores Jenny Connolly and Tori Richmond and freshman Kelsey Floyd each snagged first-place finishes in a pair of individual events. Connolly, Floyd and King also teamed with senior Jamie Saffer to kick off the meet by winning the 200y medley relay in a season-best and NCAA `B' cut time of 1:42.23. That performance ranks fifth in the country.
"We expect great competition from South Carolina," Lady Vol head swimming coach Matt Kredich said. "I felt like we let up a little bit at the end of the meet against Kentucky, and what we are looking for are more specific things form everybody in their races to avoid that this week. We are going to have some individual goals and some team goals that are independent of the competition. What I'm looking for is a lot of intensity from each person in each of their three of four races. I will be looking for more consistency and more high level focus from everybody."
Floyd is the reigning SEC Swimming and Diving Female Freshman of the Week after she nabbed victories in the 1000y free and 200y back in addition to her part on the 200y MR versus UK.
Connolly also was spectacular against the Wildcats, as she captured both the 100y back and 100y fly. She has won both of those races in all three meets this season.
On the boards, sophomore Gabbi Trudeau recorded a career-best score (295.80) en route to placing second on the 3-meter at the home-opener. Fellow sophomore Jodie McGroarty also nabbed a runner-up finish on the 1-meter in her first meet of the season. The Lady Vol divers should expect strong competition from the USC divers, who already have three women qualified for the NCAA Zones.
"As we go into our third consecutive week against a SEC foe, the level of competition continues to improve," Tennessee diving coach Dave Parrington said. "South Carolina has a history of exceptional divers and this year is no exception, as they bring two All Americans. We'll be well tested. Our divers are excited for the challenge and I look for continued improvement from every one. Jodie McGroarty continues to regain her health and I am hopeful she'll be able to contest both events this Friday."
The Gamecocks (0-4 overall and 0-1 in the SEC) dropped a 155-145 contest to Clemson last week in a meet that came down to the final relay. Junior diver Courtney Forcucci swept both board competitions against the Tigers, while classmate Claire Thompson touched first in the 200y and 500y free events.
Led by diver Taryn Zack's SEC-title-winning performance on the 1-meter board, South Carolina finished seventh at the conference championships last season. Zack, a junior from Edmonton, Cananda, and Forcucci, who transferred to SC from Houston this season, both earned All-America honors in 2008.
The Lady Vols and the Gamecocks have met 24 times with each winning 12 times. South Carolina, however, hasn't bested UT since 1993.

Tires from China
I just bought a new 24' enclosed car trailer and the tires are made in China, I know there is a recall on these tires but the manufacture of the trailer won't replace them. This is just another example of how the U.S.A is going down the drain with all this junk we import from China. When are we going to stand up and put a stop to all these imports and start making products we need here in the good old U.S.A. We all need to stop buying anything made in China, I know that's almost impossible, but we can try. We sure need big changes Washington, they sure don't do anything to help.
FAT40 :mad:
I probably wouldn't buy a trailer with china tires unless I got it cheap enough to replace them. One of the trailer places here will sell you a trailer without tires, basically just junk tires that hold air, then you can put on what you want after you buy it. Yeah it bites that we have all that crap stuffed at us, and those china tires really smell bad too, just walk through the bikes at Wal-mart.
We are running around Iraq loosing American lives chasing "terrorist's",
while the recent recalls of Chinese made tires, toys, dog food, and toothpaste can potentially kill more people than what was lost on 9/11. It doesn't make sense to me. Last I had seen 40,000 dogs died from the tainted food, imagine the outcome had it been a human consumable???
At least whoever was in charge will be executed or do the deed himself. Just imagine if American politicians/big business did that when they screw up. :D
Wow......... I just smiled inside and had a warm fuzzy feeling. :confused:
It`s interesting you say that Kevin as I`ve said that now for many many years and nobody believes me or listens. Greed will be our own undoing. Greed is the reason most countries hate us, Greed is the reason our companies go over seas, you can`t get rich by paying your employee`s good money, you get rich by paying them nothing and giving them nothing. Sam Walton wrote the book on how it`s done. My brother had mentioned several times "were selling ourselves out"
The declaration of indepence says we the people run this show, and we don`t, we haven`t for a long time. While I`m aware how other countries don`t like how things are run over here, They are told and taught we the people run it so they don`t understand why we do what we do, they don`t know we don`t run it. We vote people in to "represent" us and they don`t, most of them only care about themselves. why don`t the terrorists and every other nation that wants to kill us take a closer look at the people here, I don`t vote because I don`t trust nobody I don`t know. For many decisions that are made in this country we should decide them, not the bunch of crooked quacks in washington. So I said I represent myself, which is Legal in this country. I also believe on the issues they keep throwing around and can`t decide on, they should turn it over to us, we the people, there`s that word again, and let us vote on it. The people that represent us didn`t ask you what you thought, and they didn`t ask me what I thought, they didn`t ask nobody anything. Then they`ll pass another law none of us agreed on that nobody likes and take more of our freedoms away. that in itself shows, they run it, we don`t.
The US has been and is an Imperialist State. The Chinese have had control of Wallstreet for a long time. It was reported years ago that they were slowly buying us out. Now people are finally taking notice. It is too late and as was said..... you ain't seen nothing yet. They have been hording oil for years. Who knows, worst case scenerio, they just might be the ones to blow up all the idiots in the Middle East and then who will we buy from? THEM.
It has been said many years ago that the worst enemy you can fight is the one who has nothing to lose. They have nothing to lose.
Yea, it's a major effort not to buy stuff from China, but it's worth it. This new crap proves it.
Think about all the crap that has gotten in over the last few years that nobody even knows about yet!
If we're not careful, we'll ALL be picking rice in 10 years.
Bottom line-if people keep buying it-they will sell it.
It's not the companies fault-it's the consumers.
Many a good company has gone under selling quality products
because consumers keep buying the China crap instead of paying
more for quality.
That's why they start going overseas themselves, to survive.
I'm afraid the quality tool companies are going to disappear, they
can't compete against Harbor Freight and the like.
As long as people keep buying that junk, the tool companies have
to lower their standards to compete.
The companies will make what sells.
We're doing it to ourselves. :pain:
Good post JC it's just what I was thinking.
The New Balance shoe company is a perfect example. They were one of the last major shoe manufacturers that still made them in the USA. In the last couple of years most of their production has shifted to China. The just could not compete with Reebok and Nike who have cut prices since going oversees. Most people go into the department store and just buy the cheapest one and then complain everything is moving to China. Duh! Way to be the problem, genius.
Tools are the same way. Sears cannot compete with Home Depot and Lowe's chinese goods with USA made Craftsman, and thus more and more chinese tools show up in Sears every year.
Blame yourself: the consumer. Every cheep item you have bought from China has pushed the manufacturing industry over there. I try to get the USA items, but I am guilty of buying the cheap version myself from time to time.
Someone mentioned Chinese tires, and how the bike tires smell. Well I had to buy a Chinese bike. I went to the local bicycle shop and all the Trek, Raleigh, and Schwinn bikes are made in China too.
Tires from China
I called the people I bought the trailer from again, told them if I have any problem with these tires like a blow out or wreck I will sue them and the manufacture of the trailer, they said be sure and let them know if I have any trouble ( Ha what a joke) the tires are coming off and will be replaced. It's to bad the way everything is made in China, what junk. I only hope it's not to late to change, if we don't pull together as Americans and put a stop to all these imports, and start manufacturing what we need here, we are doomed.There will be no middle class in America, just rich and poor.
FAT40 :mad:
I heard this morning that baby bibs being sold in Toys R US and Babies R US are loaded with 3 times the allowed lead content!
The good news.... another Chinese official connected with the exports has killed himself. Good riddance.
We have no one to blame but ourselves. If we would have just refused to buy the Chinese products, it would have been the end of it. But it started with shoes, I used to not buy anything Chinese until I couldn't find shoes from anyplace else. Then it was a briefcase, I spent most of a day and went to every store in Anchorage and couldn't find an American made briefcase. On and on, well I still try and buy American when I can but we have sold our souls to China to the point that you can't be a consumer without their stanky crap. Thanks

Our childrens future, if we're not careful!?
But let's say we all don't want to drop our wages to what the Chinese workers are willing to work for (probably glad to in most cases). And we want to buy American made products. The consumer has to pay for that higher labor cost. Wanna pay $400 per tire? $1600 to put new tires on the car?
I bought tires the other day. I really didn't pay attention to where they were made. Thing is, they were 40,000 mile tires and I paid the same for them as I would have paid for the ones I was selling at (a large discount retailer) in the late 70's. Thing is, those were American made tires back then. They were made by (a well known tire maker). Identical to the (the well known tire maker's top of the line tire) including their tendency to have the tread come off in one big chunk. Low wage is not the only cause for poor design and/or workmanship.
yes we did this to our selfs and yes it is to late to do anything about it , because nobody wants to ............ yes you get a hand full of people talking about it here and there , TALKING gets you no where. where are the MILLIONS of people protesting in the streets , writeing letters , calling representives ? oh and don't forget this contry is run by immoral corrupt people that we elected in office because it was the only choice we were given , " only the rich can get in office " also we as americans did this by not being willing to do jobs others would for resonable wages.
i would only ever want to live in this country , but it is in the dumpster and most people go about their lifes with blinders on happy to be ignorant.... :nono:

If we are to believe the climate experts (scientists, not talking heads), well over 90% of them agree that besides global warming, extremes in weather will become our new normal. There's been enough evidence for me to see (feel) it, how about the rest of you?Increasing wind speed is a prediction that could become an issue for many around the globe. Some scientists have determined a future when the wind never stops blowing. Sailing anyone? :-DOnly 21 below this AM, tomorrow begins our January thaw with a predicted high of 4….that's 4 above :laugh:
For those who keep bees in the northern hemisphere, it appears that we are entering into a colder winter season, for whatever reason. Whether it lasts a decade, or a hundred years, we probably need to look at better ways to over-winter bees in colder climate.

My favorite kind of fishing is walking along a trout stream in the Sierras with ultralight (2 lb test) equipment and spinners. Even if you don't get any fish, trout live in such lovely neighborhoods.
If i lived as close as you do to Lake Santee..i'd be there every weekend..big fish in that lake, stripers, catfish, shellcrackers..this guy just caught this one in 1998..here's the write up about it..Originally Posted by Taz38
Amos M. Gay and his new all-tackle world record redear sunfish (shellcracker) from Santee Cooper Diversional Canal, caught in August, 1998. The fish weighed 5 lbs. 7.5 ozs. and topped another fish from the same fishing hole by 3.5 ozs. The fishing hole where Gay caught this fish has produced at least three redear over 5 lbs. It is located where the canal meets Lake Moultrie. The area was intensively sprayed to remove vegetation, and the resulting bare bottom became the perfect home for an unnamed species of Asiatic shellfish. The shellfish are, of course, dinner for shellcrackers, and redear feeding in this area experience phenomenal growth and weight gain. If the shellfish are the infamous zebra mussels, redear appear to offer a perfect solution to control. Reduced zebra mussel expansion and big redear in one package!

Ive always loved catfishing and casting for bass. Ive been offshore once and caught a bunch of huge amberjack, and tuna. I love fishing.
the last time i caught an amberjack, my rod arm hurt for 2 days..
I like Mahi-mahi they are the chicken of the sea Oh Fishing...ehh depends on what my partner looks like
"It's all over but the cryin'!"Moonshiner
Yea those Amberjack are some bad-ass fighting fish. I caught one that was about 80lbs and the captain said I could have applied for some kind of award or something. I didnt bother with it though. The fresh Tuna and dolphin were delicious, nothing can compare to fresh fish you caught yourself. Its very satisfying.
I fish alot for brook trout up in northern maine, and do quite well on the native trout here, although the stocked ones are almost as good, but just not as sweet. a few brookies, and some fresh picked fiddleheads (baby fern shoots that are all curled up) and you've got a meal fit for a king!!!
Also... try a striper on a 7 weight flyrod... It'll blow your mind!!!
Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money
I like the taste of Northern Pike better than walleye, but you have all of those "Y" bones that ya gotta pick out. Probably my favorite eating fish is bluegill and crappie.
I love to fish for any kind of fish though.
We have met the enemy, and he is us!
Trout is good eating, especially broiled with some lemon juice and sliced almonds on top. I also like bass, perch, walleye, bluegill, crappie, catfish, whiting, etc. My all time favorite eating fish is the bluegill, My dad and I would filet them and then dip them into some egg and rolled in crushed ritz crackers (or whatever was available, cornmeal, flour etc), then deep fry them. Definitely some good eating (now I am getting hungry, lol).
Man, I forgot about that whiting. That's some good eating too. Yum!
We have met the enemy, and he is us!

The centuries old conflict between Sunnis and Shiites cropped up once again, but this time in the tiny nation of Bahrain. The native born population of the island kingdom is small and there is heavy dependance on labor from other countries. Thousands of Shiites have flocked to Bahrain, but the government is not interested in granting them citizenship rights because if their numbers grew large they would at some future point in time become the majority. About 12,000 Shiites in Bahrain marched in protest against discrimination and argued the government was more willing to grant citizenship to Sunni immigrants from Syria and other Arab nations which were predominantly Sunni in composition.
The issue of Israel in one sense diverts attention from other divisive potentialities such as a conflict between Sunni and Shiites in the Middle East. It would be interesting as to what would happen if Israel reached peace agreements with Arab nations in the region. Would Israel slip to the back burner as historic religious issues come to the fore front?

What is in this article?:
- Boeing to Design 777X Aircraft at Five US Sites, Moscow
- "The Right Step"
"The announced structure will allow for an efficient use of resources and enable Boeing to resolve design issues effectively the first time."
NEW YORK - Boeing said Wednesday it would design its new 777X aircraft at five U.S. sites and in Moscow but had made no decision about using its key Washington state facilities.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes recently established multiple engineering design centers as part of a long-term strategic vision, Boeing (IW 500/14) spokesman Marc Birtel said in an email to AFP.
"BCA will utilize these engineering design centers, as well as engineers from non-BCA sites, to design the 777X," he said.
"At this time, no decisions have been made about 777X design or build in Puget Sound," the spokesman said, referring to the Seattle area, where Boeing has a large engineering presence. The 777 is built at its factory in Everett, Wash.
"Much of the detailed design" will be carried out by Boeing engineering teams in Charleston, S.C.; Huntsville, Ala.; Long Beach, Calif.; Philadelphia; and St. Louis, the company told employees in an internal memo seen by AFP.
Boeing's design center in Moscow, Russia, will contribute to the design, it said.
"Our goal is to leverage skills from across the Boeing enterprise. A program of this size requires that we bring together all of the talent that Boeing has to offer," said the memo, signed by Michael Delaney, vice president of engineering, and Scott Fancher, vice president of airplane development.
The executives said that Boeing was "leveraging lessons learned" on the 787 and 747-8 programs to ensure continuity across the 777X program.
"The announced structure will allow for an efficient use of resources and enable Boeing to resolve design issues effectively the first time."
Birtel, Boeing's spokesman, said the spread-out strategy was key to meeting robust demand for commercial aircraft, the biggest portion of the aerospace and defense giant's business.

In lieu of options, men's fashion has rules. And its contemporary followers like nothing better than geeking out about them all – and we have the nostalgic, Hardy Amies-esque cast of the past decade's resurgent dandyism to thank for this. That's all well and good but it leaves us in a bit of a tricky situation when it comes to dressing for parties, where you're supposed to, you know, have a bit of fun, as well as look good in a dinner jacket. Thankfully – call it modern progress – the fashion world, and men themselves, seem to be rising to the challenge in this area, with new, more versatile evening options proliferating this winter, and an increasing feeling of laissez-faire as regards the stuffy old tuxedo.
In one sense, the dogged nostalgia of recent runways (cf Prada's gawky rollnecks and suede jackets; Gucci's shearlings and pastels; Dries Van Noten's nods to David Bowie's heyday) has made it easier to inject a wry, louche feeling into partywear. Jeremy Langmead, editor-in-chief of men's e-tailer Mr Porter, says this season is all about "a nice hint of 1970s glamour", and recommends navy tuxedo jackets worn with a fitted polo neck (preferably cream) or dark jeans and patent shoes. "Navy is the smarter option this season," he says. "And it's more flattering than black if you're over 35."
However, if it must be black, then new eveningwear line Rake Lounge, designed by former Browns menswear buyer Clive Darby, has a more generous approach to the classics. "I think there are more and more people that would like to put their own style take on something rather than feeling they have to conform, wear a uniform," Darby says. "The whole concept of Rake is that everything is sold as separates, to be able to have a bit more fun and flexibility about how the garments are worn. The jacket has been cut in a way that the proportions still fit with a jean, it doesn't look like it's been taken from a suit that's been broken up." Jacket and jeans? Yes, hmm. But Darby, like Langmead, maintains this retro look can be done in style: "There's ways you can put jeans with a dinner jacket and make it more flippant and louche."
Of course, the vintage Michael Caine look isn't going to work for every event, and for party dressing, as Darby puts it, "the most important thing is to respect the occasion". For a dash of the unexpected at more formal events, it's best to use more subtle sartorial tricks, according to Luke Day, fashion director of men's magazine GQ Style and the man behind Gary Barlow's much-lauded wardrobe on this winter's X Factor. "I think the small details can make a look more interesting," he says. "A gorgeous pocket square, a Lanvin flower pin or a tiepin collar can make an ordinary suit look more dressed up." Duncan Campbell, editor of Acne Paper, is in agreement: "While I can't get behind the spinning novelty variety, a bow tie, pocket square or cheeky coloured sock can be a great way to brighten up your look." As far as tailoring is concerned, Day recommends a three-piece suit, as it "always feels grander". Garth Spencer, executive fashion director of 10 magazine, champions the waistcoat alone as an outsider option, especially during the holidays. "Even if I hate them, it's a great way of wearing tailoring and still looking smart without wearing a jacket," he says. "Also, they're great for keeping in the Christmas gut and give you room to move your arms for more eating."
Now, how much is too much? The jury is somewhat out here. "New Year's Eve comes but once a year so better to be overdressed than underdressed, surely," Campbell says. Gianluca Longo, fashion editor-at-large at ES magazine, says we can afford to be more adventurous, and recommends adding a pair of studded Louboutin slippers for a "rock'n'roll touch", or a bright red jacket from the Louis Vuitton runway, "especially if you want to be noticed". Day, meanwhile, notes that there's a flamboyant side to the winter runways, which he says were "awash with Lurex, velvet and evening suits". (Dolce & Gabbana supplied the most dazzling of these.) But ultimately, says Charlie Gilkes, one half of the duo behind London night spots Barts, Maggie's and Bunga Bunga (where party excesses include a fancy-dress box full of Eurovision-themed clothes, amid much cheerful silliness), a real party needs you to "wear what you feel comfortable in". And a party pooper? "Trying to make a statement and seek attention. Especially when it's not your own party." You have been warned.

Best souvenirs to buy at Shanghai Pudong Airport
If you've never paused to peruse Shanghai Pudong International Airport's duty free offerings, you might be surprised to discover the weird and wonderful potential gifts you could be buying.
For the people in your life "who have everything," we're betting one of these unique souvenirs will bring something new into the lives of kids of all ages.
1. Panda hat
Modeling this snug and furry panda hat and mittens set had the passing Chinese commuters pointing and squealing "Hen ke'ai! (very cute)" with both thumbs raised in approval.
You too can get a dose of undeniable cutey-pie overload with your own piece of China's most precious national ambassador at Panda Q.
But if the hat and mittens aren't your thing, they also stock an unbelievable range of panda-clad merchandise, with everything from backpacks, beer coolers and huggable soft toys on display.

2. Tibetan silver jewelry
If there's a special lady in your life with a penchant for accessorizing on the bold and exotic side, this selection of silver jewelry sourced from the plateaus of Tibet is sure to be a popular edition to their jewelry cabinet.
These are primarily chunky pieces inlaid with turquoise and other semi-precious stones, in other words, they probably aren't appropriate for shrinking violets.

RMB 400-1,500, China & Civilization, Terminal 1, located at gate 17
3. RoboSapien
A biomorphic robot that walks, dances and karate chops on command -- who wouldn't want one of these babies?
The RoboSapien is pre-programmed with moves, and can be controlled by an infrared remote control included in the box, or by either a personal computer equipped with an infrared transmitter, or an infrared transmitter-equipped PDA.
The toy's remote control unit has a total of 21 different buttons. With the help of two shift buttons, a total of 67 different robot-executable commands are accessible.

4. Dragon kite
"Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height!" The Chinese have been doing it for about 2,300 years now and your loved ones can get in on the action with this colorful dragon kite.
Chinese folklore is rich in tales of dragon kites being flown for both pleasure and purpose. Some of the most interesting tales are the stories of how Chinese dragon kites were used to help fight off intruders in the event of an attack, apparently as well as looking rather cool. They also prove quite efficient in scaring and confusing your enemies.

5. Bok choy trinket holder
Looking for something for the woman who has everything? Someone with a particular fondness for unusual tchotchkes perhaps?
We're betting she doesn't have one of these. It's a solidly constructed metal trinket box in the shape of a popular Chinese vegetable -- and did we mention it's encrusted with sparkly, colored crystals?
We can only imagine the look on your loved one's face when she opens this baby up.

6. High-quality Chinese hooch
If your closest scrape with baijiu has been at Chinese weddings and late night encounters with the cheap and nasty RMB 3 per bottle stuff at your local Alldays, you may be surprised by the high quality variants of "fire water" on the market.
These popular duty free options have various ages and "fragrances" which determine their price tag and the decorative packaging lends itself favorably to gift-giving.

Drink driving as a social problem: comparing the attitudes and knowledge of drink driving offenders and the general community
Baum, Scott, Sheehan, Mary C., Ferguson, Megan, & Schonfeld, Cynthia C. (1998) Drink driving as a social problem: comparing the attitudes and knowledge of drink driving offenders and the general community. In 1998 Road Safety Research, Policing and Education Conference, 17-18th November, Wellington, New Zealand.
|PDF (219kB)
Within Queensland, as elsewhere, there appears to be a high level of consensus among the wider community that drink driving is a serious social problem. This is reflected in both general attitudes regarding drink driving, together with general levels of knowledge regarding drink-driving issues. However there is reason to believe, both from anecdotal as well as empirical evidence, that the attitudes and knowledge of those apprehended for drink driving may differ from those of the general community. Utilising data from the 'Under the Limit' community survey together with data from a survey of drink-driving offenders, this paper compares the attitudes and knowledge of two matched samples on a number of drink driving issues. The specific issues dealt with include · Knowledge of safe drinking and BAC levels; · Attitudes towards strategies for avoiding drink driving; and · General attitudes regarding drink driving. The findings illustrate that between the two samples a number of significant differences exist with respect to attitudes and knowledge. Implications for drink driving interventions are discussed.

deTour 2015
deTour 2015, Hong Kong's annual creative festival and concurrent event of Business of Design Week (BODW), will take place at the iconic Former Hollywood Road Police Married Quarters (PMQ) from November 27th to December 6th this year.
With "Connection" as the overall theme, deTour will host an abundance of interactive activities including workshops, pop-up exhibitions, design dialogues and art installations to showcase the creative works by young, emerging local talents as well as to raise awareness of social issues and to engage the local community.
This year's event brings together Hong Kong's most sought-after artists, including Alen Ng, Keith Lam, Gaybird Leung, The Poverty Line, LAAB and WARE to "connect" their innovative artworks with the public. The installations, suitable for all ages, encourage participants to connect with the creators. From giant interlocking horns to life-size hamster wheels, deTour 2015's programs are designed to excite all senses.
This is one of the best exhibitions in deTour 2015 this year. Having a penchant for well-designed fonts (second this if you know that satisfaction from downloading 100+ typefaces from dafont a night), I could by no means take my eyes off this articulately-curated light & sound installation.
Dated back to the 40s, BeiWei Kaishu (a name of a font if you're bemused) has been utilized extensively on shop signs and a wide range of typographic applications. Yet due to the lack of recognition of its historical and cultural background as well as the destruction of the old city by the so-called urban renewal, such style has been gradually vanished.
While neon light signifies vitality, the combination of BeiWei Kaishu and neon light is a brilliant marriage that brings life to the mundane cityscape. This installation combines Hong Kong Beiwei Kaishu, neon light and noise. Spectators could control the frequency of light blinks and the speed of the noise by distance to the installation.
Cloud is a symbol of dream. "Landscape of Cloud" is an artwork with imagination and wish. The artist turns the intangible cloud into reality, allowing the audiences to interact with the sky through feeding the "colours" to the cloud. At the same time, the changing lights of the cloud will create a different ambience to the room.
Don't leave before appreciating the Urban Symphony! The objective of Urban Symphony is straightforward and sets out to harmonise different sounds people hear every day in a complex and fast-moving city like Hong Kong. Much of the time, people feel overwhelmed with so much commotion around them and it was this challenge, which inspired how the artist projects and complements sounds from traffic, nature and voices. The installation is for anyone to interpret how sound (communication) should be and to hear a different perspective of the city.
*Thank you DT Communications for having me over!

#sponsored: hugo boss - the scent
When I first smelt the new cologne, I closed my eyes and immediately the first whiff exuded a twist of the Hugo Boss signature scent within its fragrance mix.
I have to admit, the campaign with Theo James and Natalie Poly really made me curious and the flacon looks quite attractive. The scent is characterized by an extraordinary oriental smell because of the use of the Maninka fruit which reminds me of a mixture between passionfruit and rum. Ginger and leather give the fragrance the needed masculine spice. For me its actually the best perfume from Hugo Boss. It's pleasant to wear during the day, not too strong but definitely intense. It is quite heavy and thats why it's perfect for autumn and upcoming winter.
The Scent is a matured fragrance that left you wanting more.
*This post is sponsored by Hugo Boss, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

S.A.D. = Sustainable and delightful: A designer's guide to sustainable site planning
Thomas, Glenn S. (2002) S.A.D. = Sustainable and delightful: A designer's guide to sustainable site planning. Queensland University of Tecnology, Brisbane, Queensland.
This book is the product of having spent many years introducing the mysteries of site planning as a design activity to both landscape architecture and urban and regional planning students at undergraduate level and to landscape architecture students at graduate level. My primary aim is to sort through the diverse theoretical writings and ideologies contained in the various references cited to identify both the common and divergent threads of design processes, theories and practice that can be drawn upon to inform the site planning of landscape or development projects. It is intended to support student learning in carefully structured problem based design studios. The objective is to provide a simplified guide for beginners to help them gain confidence in their own abilities and to encourage the development of sound foundation skills and knowledge for a professional career in environmental planning and design. Wherever possible I have used examples from my students' work to illustrate the principles or processes being discussed. The intent here is to set achievable goals for the beginner and to promote confidence at an early stage of the learning process. Once confidence is established, then the bar can be set progressively higher as the students develop their professional competencies in later stages of learning. I am indebted to both my faculty colleagues and many former students who are now my professional peers for the constructive criticisms of earlier versions of this teaching resource. The book is also a product of an ingrained habit of Reflection-in-action and Reflection-on-action, a topic discussed in Section 13.0. I know I am a better site planner and designer for the experience.

Box title
Part 1: The early yearsIn today's
commonplace of a single daily newspaper per significant town, it
can seem astonishing that until well after World War I, Hull was
served by three competing daily newspapers, all operating from the
Whitefriargate area.
With longest pedigree, and weighty public affairs bias to match,
the Eastern Morning News came into existence in
1864. Within its first year of operation, the Eastern
Morning News incorporated the Hull Advertiser, a vital Hull
weekly since 1794. Based first in Scale Lane and later at 42
Whitefriargate, the new daily secured its position as one of the
UK's front line regional newspapers, with a widespread business and
professional audience for home and foreign news, informed comment,
financial market reports and shipping intelligence.
Twenty years on from the launch of the Eastern Morning
News, Hull's second daily paper developed from a widely
selling weekly, the Hull News, which had been successfully
weaving together local news, review and advertisement copy since
1852. On 5th February 1884 the Hull News began publishing
six days a week under the weekday title, Hull Daily News,
targeting the evening market in Hull.
Into the press scene less than two years later, came a third
contender, with openly political intent. Formed by a group of
Conservative political activists, the Daily Mail was
pitched into the field with the declaration in its opening issue at
the end of September 1885 that "it is, and will be conducted as, a
Conservative newspaper.... not hesitating to place before the
public the true issues which lie between the two parties that
contend for supremacy in the State." Matching the Eastern
Morning's incorporation of the Hull Advertiser, the
Mail took over existing Hull weeklies, the Hull Packet and its
sister paper, the Hull and Yorkshire Times by early 1886
and incorporated both into the weekly Hull and East Yorkshire
Political biasAs the two more established
daily newspapers were broadly pro-reform and pro-Liberal, the
Mail faced them across a political divide which shaped the
Hull press's news, values and prejudices. The Eastern
Morning and Hull Daily News, with their distinct
identities for morning and evening markets, were committed to the
defence of unfettered Free Trade, enacting early social provision
of old age pensions, sickness and unemployment insurance, curbing
working hours and setting a minimum wage. In contrast to the
Eastern Morning and Hull Daily News, the
Mail demonstrated strong commitment to different economic
and political interests, the veto power of the Lords against taxing
for social provision and although a new middle class of exporting
manufacturers had become notably free trade and Liberal, the
Mail unerringly recognised, and supported, a Conservative
interest in the Hull port employers, who reaped bitter and
intermittent labour unrest thanks to their casual labour
In keeping with its founding aspirations, the Mail
often had full page spreads for new, national, Conservative policy
statements and to centrally featured profiles of Conservative
parliamentary spokesmen. This was a more distinctive party
allegiance than shown by its older competitors, Liberal in
principle but ferociously protective of their independence and, in
the case of the prestigious Eastern Morning News
particularly, of a long earned trust from its commercial and
educated public. However, from its early years, the Mail displayed
professional standards of production, content and, most crucially,
determination to get its share of news stories in competition with
its more established rivals.

text: Alright guys, my dad was cleaning his Kahr P9 today after a flawless shooting session at the range and I think he messed something up. After cleaning, he put the barrel into the slide, the spring back onto the guide rod, the guide rod back on top of the barrel then the entire assembly back onto the polymer lower half of the gun. He then pushed the slide back and inserted the pin. He then let the slide go and it fell into place perfect. Then he pulled the slide back and it stuck! It's about 3/8 of an inch back. The slide will go back about 1/8 of an inch more but that's it. The slide will not go forward any. We can't get the pin back out because the notch is too far back. The trigger will pull but it's not engaging anything. I can insert a magazine and release it but that doesnt do anything. I will try to take a picture tomorrow, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Judging by the latest sales numbers, approximately every person in the world is playing GTA V right now. And that made us think "Hey, what if we made that much money?" So we spent an afternoon trying to develop an enormously popular sandbox shooter, but got tired and put together this Woot-Off instead. Happy shopping!

Posted by Derek Miers on February 20, 2014
In this Age of the Customer (AoC), many traditional businesses are under threat and need to change. Organizations often have the need to rethink their business strategy and operating model – but they often don't know how to approach the problem. Today, they tend to ask others to do it for them, when in reality; they need to do this for, and to, themselves.
We've been helping our clients rethink how they deliver value to their customers – thinking about how to industrialize their approach by working "Outside-in" – bypassing the political challenges of individual silos. The central part of an engagement is normally focused around a "big-tent" workshop format (with 20-80 people in a room); where cross-functional teams are facilitated and guided to elucidate a set of "service propositions" that together form the core of a future-state – a new way of working, or a new way of engaging each other to solve their own problems, even a new operating model. Along the way, they will use a number of core Forrester techniques– from persona design, through customer journey mapping … before getting down to processes and metrics design.

Of course St. Patrick's Day is busy for the Irish band Chris Sullivan and Friends. Unlike the rest of us seasonal Paddies and Micks who venture out on amateur drinker's night claiming to be one of the 35 million Americans of Irish descent (and wake up March 18 beside a strange lad or lass sporting "lucky" green skivvies), Chris Sullivan and Friends concern themselves with Celts year-round. This St. Patrick's Day, the band will play a lunchtime gig at Hunter's Glen and a 5–8 p.m. slot at Sean Kelly's.
The coeducational Western Montana act has performed together for five years, and each member has his or her own individual history with Irish music apart from their collective status as Chris Sullivan's friends. Pennywhistler Chris met his wife, fiddler Stacy Sullivan, at a Celtic jam in Victor. Bodhran drummer Gary Janego, mandolin picker Mariss McTucker and guitarist John Parker are known to pluck, blow or beat on more than one acoustic contraption during each set. There is no designated vocalist, so each member takes turns singing while the others create backup harmonies. Laws of probability suggest that with five different vocalists, each fluent on several different instruments, no two songs should sound alike.
Although their repertoire consists mostly of traditional Irish songs and instrumentals, Chris Sullivan and Friends are not such purists that they shun everything modern. Chris cites contemporary Irish-American band Solas as inspiration for his group, and if you keep your ears open you might catch the Friends performing a Solas-esque version of Woody Guthrie's "Pastures of Plenty."
For folks looking for standard-issue rowdy songs about drinking and women, Chris says, "we've got to do a few of those or it wouldn't be Irish," but he's somewhat selective about his material. Many of those songs "have great melodies, but are about some guy leaving a girl pregnant and going to have a heck of a time around the world." Since that's not exactly Sullivan's pint of Guinness, his family-friendly act is scheduled at a family-friendly hour to warm up for the evening's headliners, The Celtic Nots from Spokane.
Chris Sullivan and Friends play from 5 to 8 PM, Thursday, March 17, at Sean Kelly's. The show is free.

Feely also indicated that the TOW was reliable, citing he had never seen a misfire during his four-year enlistment.
He also worried that enlistment terms would soon run out on several thousand of his soldiers, siphoning away his strength.
After my two months at the clinic, my enlistment term was, in fact, coming to an end.
When the war first broke out, no one thought of any but voluntary methods of enlistment.
My term of enlistment had expired when they let me out a fine day in mid August.
During the whole period of my confinement I never knew a single instance of enlistment among the prisoners of the Jersey.
After faithfully serving the term of his enlistment, he returned to his home.
The whole population, subject to enlistment, was divided into six classes according to wealth.
Neither Mary nor he had spoken again of the question of enlistment.
He honestly served out the term of his enlistment and was honorably discharged.
