David Bowie is back, at last!
The legendary English singer-songwriter, a 1996 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Tuesday morning released a new single, the moody, slow building "Where Are We Now?" -- and an accompanying video. By coincidence -- or, rather, not by coincidence -- the single's Jan. 8 release coincides with Bowie's 66th birthday.
The single, produced by Bowie veteran Tony Visconti, is a prelude to his first album in a decade, "The Next Day," which is due out in March. His last album, "Reality," came out in 2003.
The video for the wistful, melancholic "Where Are We Now?" was shot in various parts of Berlin, where Bowie recorded his classic 1977 album, "Low," and lived after he and Iggy Pop moved there to kick their respective heroin habits.
By Tuesday afternoon, "Where Are We Now?" had risen to the No. 2 spot on the iTunes sale charts. It's an impressive feat, especially in an age of nonstop social-media-fueled hype and 24/7 promotional campaigns. The fact that this understated, almost somber song is exploding at a time when mindless dance-pop rules the day is a testament to musical quality and Bowie's penchant for bucking the system.
In a 2002 U-T San Diego interview, Bowie said: "I often have to do things to surprise myself and to keep my eyes on what I wanted to do when I started making records, and that was to give myself an obstacle to overcome. And one of the first things I could do was to stop making `the big hits'.
"The success of things like 'Let's Dance' was an anomaly, really. I've had the same buying audience since (1972's) `Ziggy Stardust,' and none of those albums did well when they were released; the sales accumulate over the years."
In the same U-T interview, Bowie said he planned to take a number of years off while his daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones -- now 12 -- grew up. In recent years, rumors about Bowie's health have cropped up, but he wisely remained out of the limelight, the better, presumably, to be a hands-on parent with his wife, Iman.
Bowie kicked off his 1978 world tour with a show at the San Diego Sports Arena (now Valley View Casino Center). He has not performed here since a 1991 Spreckels Theater concert with his hard-rocking band Tin Machine.
His most recent tour was in 2004, the same year he underwent heart surgery and had to cancel a series of concerts. Bowie did make a guest appearance at an Arcade Fire concert in 2005 and, in 2006, at concerts by Alicia Keys and Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. He has not been on stage since then.
It is unclear whether New York native Visconti is the producer of the the entire "The Next Day Album," but his creative partnership with Bowie dates back to 1967, when they met in London.
"David and I hit it off almost immediately," Visconti said in a 2003 U-T San Diego interview. "We played guitar together, both loved the music of Miles Davis and Charlie Parker, and used to see every Roman Polanski film together. David was also a great aficionado of American underground bands, like The Fugs and Velvet Underground, and so was I. I think I was probably one of the only American friends he had then. I could tell him stories about things he was eager to know more about."
Will Bowie now tour to support his album? Or will he, perhaps, perform at the Coachella festival in Indio in April? (Coachella's producers have long had Bowie at the top of the wish-list of legendary artists they would like to book, along with former San Diegan Tom Waits and the long-defunct band The Smiths).
Stay tuned for updates. And, as has long been the case with Bowie, expect the unexpected.

A woman injured in a head-on collision in Claremont this weekend continues in a Los Angeles hospital but is recovering, Claremont police said Sunday.
The 60-year-old Upland woman, who's name has not been released, has broken bones and is expected to recover, said Lt. Shelly Vanderveen of the Claremont Police Department.
A 3-year-old girl from Fontana was injured in the same crash but police had no update on her condition Sunday morning, police said.
The child complained of pain to her head after the crash, Vanderveen said.
The head-on crash occurred about 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Baseline Road and Padua Avenue and involved a car and a sport utility vehicle.
Claremont police and Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics were called to the scene where they found the woman, the only occupant of the car, injured and trapped in her car.
The girl was in the front passenger seat of the SUV.
The woman was flown to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center and the girl was taken to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, police said. A youth and an adult in the SUV did not require hospitalization, police said. Anyone who may have witnessed the crash, which is still under investigation,is asked to call the Claremont Police Department at 909-399-5411

So far this week, I've seen several cool mod additions over at Planet Elder Scrolls. Here's are a few of my favorites for the week…
The Nazarian Library: Repeal19 has created a mod that builds a library just south of Arcane University. So what makes this library so special? Well, it actually houses EVERY book that can be found within the original quest of Oblivion. So if you're spending too much time playing the game in the coming weeks when school starts back up, you can at least tell your parents that you're studying at the library :).
Chargen Diseases: When generating your character, Marbred's disease mod allows you to make your character suffer from Werewolf disease, Vampire clan disease, or simply no disease at all. Perfect for folks who can't get enough of Teen Wolf.
Mostly-Mini Todd Howard: Last but not least, and destined to be a favorite around our office, this new Morrowind mod from Fliggerty & Friends adds a "Mini Me" Todd Howard to the game. I'm sure Todd is honored to have his likeness in the game. Now can we just get a new weapon called the "Gstaff" (I'm imagining some sort of staff that has a "G" at the top of it).

The thing about making motorcycles in 2011 is that manufacturing is now truly global. A significant disruption in a key component source country such as Japan can interrupt production across the globe. That remains true even if you're making a throwback to a WWII copy of a BMW R37 sidecar in Russia. Ural's Ilya Khait explains how they're coping with a natural disaster half a world away. — Ed.
Ural outsources components from over 60 suppliers in 13 countries, not counting Russia. Imported components make up almost 60 percent of the material costs of each motorcycle.
Logistics are pretty weird and complicated because of the location of the factory. Irbit is 1,500 miles east of Moscow and 150 miles from the nearest international airport or major railway station.
Ural gets its name from the Ural Mountains, where Irbit is located. Talk about remote, the factory is closer to Kazakhstan than Moscow.
We have two main flows of components. Parts from European suppliers are consolidated at our distribution center in Austria, then trucked all the way to Siberia, nearly 2,500 miles to the east. Components from Asian and North American suppliers are either shipped to the seaport of Vladivostok in Russia's far east, then railed approximately 4,000 miles west to the factory, or sent directly to the factory by air.
Completed motorcycles intended for the European market are trucked back to the distribution center in Austria. Bikes for North America are trucked tot he port of Bremhaven and shipped by ocean to New York.
Normally, the factory has a stock of components for a bout a month of production, but sometimes we have more than that depending on the terms of the purchasing agreements and logistic costs.
We outsource three components to Japan — vacuum operated petcocks (Taiyo Giken Kogyo), alternators (Denso) and carburetors (Keihin). It looks like Taiyo Giken and Denso were not directly affected by the disaster, as their main manufacturing facilities are located in the southern part of the country. But unfortunately, Keihin seems to have been hit pretty hard.
Keihin's factory in Kakuda is close to both the Fukushima nuclear plants and the tsunami-ravaged city of Sendai.
The Keihin facilities which manufacture motorcycle and automotive fuel control systems, including our carburetors, are located in and around Kakuda City, Miyagi prefecture. The city is located approximately 20 miles south of Sendai airport, five miles from the Pacific Ocean and 50 miles north of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Although some of their small subcontractors were located along the coast and swept away, the main Keihin factory was not impacted by the tsunami. But the earthquake and subsequent power and water supply disruptions seriously damaged equipment and tooling. Additionally, several subcontractors' facilities remain inaccessible. Fortunately, almost all Keihin employees survived the disaster, but quite a few did lose property to it.
Keihin was able to partially restore power and water supply last friday, but are still assessing damage and haven't provided any specifics as to when they'll be able to resume normal operations.
Most of the roads in this part of the country go up the coastline and have been affected by the tsunami, so the damaged to the transportation infrastructure is going to be a major issue. Fukushima is also a concern.
Our current carburetor order was completed right before the disaster struck. Keihin was able to locate our parts early this week, but was unable to assist with delivery, so we had to organize a rescue operation ourselves. We now have a two to two-and-a-quarter month supply of Keihin carburetors.
We started working on a backup plan in the first hours following the disaster. One look at a map was enough to realize that things might get pretty ugly. We came up with a temporary solution and continue working with one of our suppliers on a permanent fix, just in case Keihin won't be able to restore production in the next three or four months. It's also pretty clear that, even if Keihin is able to restart production soon, its first priority will be major customers like auto manufacturers. Large motorcycle companies will follow, small guys like us are a distant third.
Overall, it's pretty difficult to figure out how much this disaster has damaged the global motorcycle industry. Everything and everybody is so interconnected that affects could be both direct (like with Keihin) and indirect. Some of the European telescopic fork manufacturers use Japan-made precision steel tubes, for instance. Of course, and that's just one example.

A San Rafael citizens group apparently irritated about housing plans and related county issues wants to recall Supervisor Susan Adams, saying she has failed to represent her constituents.
The group, a coalition headed by Carol Joyce Sheerin of Cedar Hill Drive in north San Rafael, filed a formal notice with the county Wednesday declaring its intention to circulate recall petitions to oust Adams from office.
"Grounds for the recall are as follows: Supervisor Adams' continued failure to represent her constituents," the statement says without elaboration. It was signed by 27 residents.
After Adams files a formal response that must be included on the recall petition, and the petition is certified, the group has 120 days to gather the signatures of 6,368 registered voters in the San Rafael supervisorial district, according to Registrar of Voters Elaine Ginnold.
Sheerin, reached at home Thursday afternoon, said she could make no statement on behalf of the group pending a meeting later in the day. She described herself as co-leader of the group, but declined to say who the other leader was. "We can't talk to you yet," she said.
Carolyn Lenert, head of the North San Rafael Coalition of Residents, was among signers of the statement filed by Sheerin, but could not be reached for comment.
Sheerin, a San Rafael resident since 1967 active in past campaigns to buy open space, save Falkirk mansion and block the old Renaissance Faire from locating in Lucas Valley, said she is personally angry because "none of the supervisors in Marin County are representing their constituents."
County officials, she said, are ignoring the "voices of the people" by pushing for high-density housing plans proposed by regional government, and disruptive freeway improvement programs such as the Corte Madera interchange project.
Adams said she was surprised by the recall move, adding she expected instead to face an opponent in the 2014 election for her supervisorial seat.
"I felt like somebody was going to file papers to run against me," she said in brief comments when she arrived at the county elections office Thursday for a meeting with Ginnold on recall election procedure. Citizens are talking recall in apparent protest to plans for low- and moderate-income housing in Marinwood and at Grady Ranch, she said.
"I don't even support 30-unit-per-acre zoning at Grady," Adams said.
Adams said that with a constellation of controversial proposals swirling at once — including a regional housing program, a high-density rezoning plan and efforts allowing low-cost housing complexes in neighborhoods — "there is a lot of deep-seated fear in the community."
Ginnold said that in light of a number of variables, "including the number of signatures they have to get," it is unlikely any recall election would appear on the November ballot. But a successful effort to collect valid signatures could force an election at about the same time Adams must stand for re-election next spring.
"Why couldn't they have just waited?" the supervisor wondered.

Balls in a JarProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
You're walking down a street, when you see some people gambling on the roadside.
The dealer says:
"There are 10 black balls and 10 white balls in this jar. You are blindfolded and you randomly pick 10 balls. If 5 of the balls you picked are black and the other 5 are white, you lose $2. Otherwise you win $1."
Is the gamble fair?
HintYou know that, in most gambles, the dealer wins more than he loses. If not, why does he hold the gamble?
AnswerThe number of combinations to take 10 balls out of 20 is 20!/(10!)^2=184756.
The number of combinations to take 5 balls of each color is (10!/(5!)^2)^2=63504.
This means in 184756 games you lose 63504 games and win 121252 games in average, totaling a loss of $5756. In other words, you lose about $0.03116 per game in average.
Therefore, the gamble is not fair.

Pity poor Pippa Middleton. Her first book has been slammed by critics in both the UK and the US, and sales have been so sluggish since its release on October 30 that Amazon in Britain has already slashed the price in half.
Even worse, parodies of Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Family and Friends have been springing up all over. Go to "pippatips" on Twitter and you'll find such sage advice as, "If you fancy a bit of a laugh, watching, reading or listening to comedy can be an amusing way to bring the smiles."
Ms Middleton's book is full of similarly mundane observations, which is the major complaint. One critic remarked that Celebrate is "perfect for anyone who needs a recipe for making ice". Another said it was geared to third-graders, while an Irish Sun reviewer quipped, "It is clear that by writing the book, Pippa set out to prove that there is far more to her than her pert bottom. But the fact is, there isn't."
That Pippa was given a $A581,536 advance by Viking based on nothing more than her royal connections has made the book's failure to thrive even more of an embarrassment. The tome is 400 pages long, with ideas on entertaining guests, recipes, crafts, games and asides – both personal and historic.
Call it Martha Stewart meets Real Simple with a dash of Good Housekeeping.
Pippa says she has a passion for writing, and we can agree to assume the words are her own. Many of the ideas spring from growing up in a happy family with sister Kate (the Duchess of Cambridge) and brother James. Then there was her stint at a London-based events company, as well as her job cooking at a pub one summer. Presently, Pippa works for her family's party-supply company, one of the biggest in Britain. She edits The Party Times for the family's online Party Pieces business.
Such feeble experience has further inflamed her critics, but history is riddled with success stories fuelled by nothing more. And in many respects, Pippa can pull rank. She's been to some top-shelf parties, including the wedding of the century (so far). She knows her way around seasonal novelties. And she knows enough to get good help.
To that end, photographer David Loftus and illustrator Gill Heeley lent their talents to the proceedings, with lovely results. Celebrate is a handsome book that's at least a pleasure to page through.
Wait a minute. It's even, sort of, a pleasure to read.
What did it to me, I think, was Pippa's introduction: "It's a bit startling to achieve global recognition (if that's the right word) before the age of 30, on account of your sister, your brother-in-law and your bottom," she writes.
Google "Pippa" and, sure enough, "bum" comes up, with entire sites dedicated to her derriere. Flattering on one hand, but an uncertain claim to fame on the other. "I know many of you will have picked up this book out of nothing more than curiosity," she continues. "I can assure you that it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself. This is my first chance to do that, and I've enjoyed every minute of it."
In her defence, so did I. Perhaps not in the way Pippa intended, but still ...
To be fair, I'm not much of a cook. What might seem obvious to some wasn't all that simplistic or insulting to me. Plus, the recipes are in American measures – not metric – so that was thoughtful.
In some chapters, it is clear that Pippa has given her recipes much thought. She waxes philosophical on Halloween, and on Halloween cookies in particular: "These cookies use white chocolate and cranberries to represent ghosts and blood, dark chocolate and raisins for bats and witches." Symbolism mixed with sugar. Why is that stupid?
OK, Pippa does deserve some flak for this advice on Christmas trees: "Try to pick the tree that looks the freshest" and "Roughly calculate the height of the tree you want, allowing enough space for the tree topper, and for the tree base or pot. Avoid positioning your tree beside a radiator or fireplace, and make sure there are outlets nearby (or use an extension cord) for the Christmas lights."
Uhhhh ...
On the plus side, Pippa excels at anything drink-related. Whether it's a recipe for her favourite vodka martini, a discourse on "whisky, the water of life" or any of the numerous cocktail tips, Pippa is dead-on. Add to that the fact that almost all the food in the book can be frozen for three months, and we're talking par-tay!
Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends is not the worst book ever written, and that turns out to be high praise indeed.

Is the roster minimum for a Team 12 or 13 players?
If we get a Backup PG while sending out Hansbrough...we'd be at 12 Players.
Do we even have enough CapSpace or minutes for any other Backup Players beyond a 2nd PG?
Is there any other FAs that the Pacers have had discussions with?
Delfino maybe ( if he could be had for cheap )?
If there isn't and there is need to fill the Wing Man rotation...I can see the Pacers bringing back Barbosa :rolleyes: .

Apprentice Years
I went as apprentice to become a tailor. This doesn not mean that I was not already earlier sewing on a machine with my mother from nine years on, helping sew peasant children's dresses and aprons, and from time to time also helping sell the finished goods to the peasants. Once, in August 1899, one Shabbos night after Havdallah we both sat down to two machines (we had two Singer foot treadle machines) and finished two dozen little dresses and aprons. About two o'clock in the morning Mother escorted me out of the house with the pack of finished merchandise and sent me off to my father, a mountain walk of three and a half European miles. I arrived at the place of the market fair, (called the Clavary, a place where religious processions were held) when it was already broad daylight. I asked my father what time it was and he answered six o'clock. First thing Father led me into the kretschma (tavern), first to daven and then to feed me breakfast.
Then my uncle Yusha conferred on me the honor of standing in charge of a keg of cider. Meanwhile there arrived a peasant procession bearing an image of the Virgin Mary, an elegantly decorated stature on a red velvet littler. I am standing crying out Cold drinks, cold drinks, oblivious that it was an improper time, so a hefty peasant set his boot on the faucet of the keg and the drink began to run out. I bend down to close it and someone hoisted my cap with a stick and there I remain standing without a hat, bareheaded just when they carried by the Virgin Mary and all their crucifixes and their other sanctities, accompanied
[Page 38 - English]
by a handsome barrage of blows by peasant staffs on my head. I barely escaped to my father's stall and about eleven o'clock reached home again. That Shabbos at the davenin, I bentshed goimel, offered up thanks for my deliverance from that peril: so I was advised by the older folks, to help me banish my terror.
As I began to relate earlier, I was entrusted to a tailor, Itzik Schneider, a ready-to-wear tailor, actually kinfolk, the husband of my mother's aunt, sister to my grandmother. They treated me worse than if I had been a total stranger. Two years I worked with this family. Itzik was not interested in teaching me the trade. I received no pay, only occasionally Friday after the sweat-bath he would give the journeymen a spot of brandy with half of a fresh baked roll, so I would get that too.
I used to have to go on foot delivering the ready made merchandise to the dealer, bring the loads of unfinished wool cloth from that store to be worked up into men's mantles and coats. Here I want to tell of three events.
Once on a very bitterly cold day, they sent me to bring the raw materials. Nu, much choice I had. Warm glovesI had none. By the time I had gone half way Ifelt as if the nails would spring off my fingers. What to do? The snow is deep. There is no place to sit down to warm my hands. I shift the load from shoulder to shoulder. Half frozen I barely made it back to the cottage. It took a bit of time till I could thaw out my hands. For this all that I earned was the pickings of the cotton padding waste which they used in the peasant cloaks. All week I collected this and sold it to the hatmaker for two greitzer.
A second incident. On a winter night, slippery wet, so dark you could grasp the gloom in your hands, my boss, the relative, takes five finished cloaks, with light colored linings, piles them on my shoulders, not tied together. I go out half a block and crash. I slip and fall with these light lined mantles into the muddy slush. Nu, I just about made it back with the coats. Meila, you can figure for
[Page 39 - English]
yourself the Shir Ha-maalos song and dance that master of mine gave me[53].
Another thing that happened to me. The pressing irons used to be heated over a coal fire, and we needed live burning coals to ignite the hard coal. So the master sends me to the baker's to fetch a few hot coals. As I go outside a fierce wind whips up the sparks and live burning embers are sent flying over the alley. The neighbors see and begin to scream. Then I was really frightened, try to open the pressing iron to shake the coals into the gutter, whereupon the wind first really began to scatter the sparks. The neighbors chased after me wanted to kill me for trying to set the town on fire. Finally the few embers burned themselves out and I was rescued from death.
Since too much I was not learning of the trade, I resolved that if I was to become a decent craftsman, I must go to learn from a custom tailor. It was just before Passover that I earned some money at baking matzos, and saved up for a spring topcoat, made at a custom tailor's. So I indentured myself there for three whole years.
That will take a bit of telling, and here I want to digress to recount an episode from which a major catastrophe might have developed for the Jews of Dobromil. As you recall, the Jews of Dobromil as in other Galitsianer shtetls eked out their living by luft parnossas, (making a living from the air). In all of these parnossas, the women had to help in order to have a piece of bread. I once learned an item of Oral Torah Tradition that in Jewish legend it is told how it was because of a hen and a rooster that the Holy Temple went up in flames. Here in Dobromil a similar fate might have come about over a little apple.
In Dobromil there was a little space, half a square, where women used to sit by their fruit stands. Very few people understood buying fruit by the pound. They simply didn't have enough money, or they did not indulge themselves to buy several pounds of apples or other fruit, unless the fruit was already half rotten, although the whole region was flooded with fruit orchards. One ordinary fine Monday morning Yeeden and Yeedenas busily set up their
[Page 40 - English]
stands, each with their produce, both raw and finished. The peasant folk streamed into town with their horses and wagons, their hogs, their cows and calves, hens, ducks, geese. The weekly market was under way, with its appropriate screaming and tumult, like all weekly market days. Yeeden were calling out with hoarse voices, each calling customers to his stall, announcing that he has the best wares. So they did some selling, took in a little cash, and presently it was tending to the end of the day. The peasantry were packing up their purchases to ride home.
One peasant couple came over to a Jewish girl to buy some fruit, apples. We had the custom of the baker's dozen: with every purchase the customer got a pshetschinik (Polish: przyczynek), an extra fruit. Otherwise it was no bargain. The girl had already added the extra to the purchase, in this instance, but then it was when it all happened. The peasant woman took one more extra apple. The girl, not using the best judgment, tried to snatch this apple back, and accidentally caught her fingers in the woman's string of beads, which scattered to the ground. A hullabaloo broke out. The peasant grabbed the girl by the hair with such violence that he pulled out tresses, scalp, skin, and all. A riot followed between peasants and Yeeden. Our uncle Hersh, may his memory be blessed, was then in the prime of young manhood and he swung into action with the leg of a stool, and he also did not kid himself, he collected his quota of blows. Whoever was there both gave and got, each his share, until the police arrived. The peasantry simply took to their heels and fled homeward. Only the Yeeden, being local town residents, remained. So the police filed an indictment and summoned the Yeeden into court on charges. A number were subjected to punishment (detention) for causing disorder in town and giving the town a bad name. Others got off with money fines. Many were simply discharged.
The Jewish girl who suffered the most, in pain and in shame, till her head and hair healed up, sold no more apples for a long time, trembling in fear lest something should again happen because of her. And so the Jewish
[Page 41 - English]
shtetl of Dobromil got off with only a few blows and a little fright. The fright continued for quite some time. We anticipated an organized pogrom on the part of the peasant folk. From that Monday on the town authorities used to send in the gendarmerie every Monday, with guns and swords, to guard against any attack on Dobromil, and so thereafter none such took place.
[Page 42 - English]
More Apprentice Years
And now another installment of tailor's tribulations which I endured in Dobromil. As you recall for all of two years I was tormented at the ready-to-ear tailor's and learned almost nothing except to lug the loads of uncut cloth from the cloth dealer or the finished cloaks to the store who sold to the peasants. Now I had decided that this was no way for me. I must learn to be a proper craftsman. I talked things over with Dad and Mom and they acceded to my justified complaints. Father took the mission on himself and went to speak to that same tailor by whom I had a very fine black spring coat made to order. In Chol-hamoed Pesach (the middle days of Passover week) he indentured me for three years, a year and a half to eat at my home, and the second and a half to eat at the tailor's. They were a father and son partnership, as it stands in the Scripture verse, a schneider ben Schneider, a tailor son of a tailor. My new boss had never taken an apprentice before. To my miserable luck, he agreed and bade me come in after yomtov to start learning.[54]
Three years, heavy-laden years. First thing my boss did not like was the way I held my fingers bent with the thimble on the middle finger of the right hand. So he tied up my finger for four weeks time till I could not straighten it out again and yea verily even unto this selfsame day I have that finger bent as if I were ready to push a needle. Second, it was my chore to thread needles for the boss, since he was an old man and could not see to thread a needle so fast. So I stood and did that for him. A third task
[Page 43 - English]
imposed on apprentices was to go on miscellaneous errands. It was usual to plug every hole with me. Although they had a boy of their own, I was the servant. Yet one other sphere of work was assigned to the learning apprentice, carrying out the family potty every morning, and Friday afternoon polish the shoes and boots for the whole household. This lasted almost through the whole time of my learning apprenticeship. The one chore which I did like was to deliver the finished garments, because sometimes I got a few greitzer as a tip, but in this I also had a partner, the boss's son. As it happened, he was a good fellow and used to act friendly to me.
I almost forgot. In Dobromil every employee had to obtain from city hall a workbook and give it to his boss. Without a proper transfer no second employer would hire a man, and without it no worker could make a move. I had turned such a workbook over to my boss and that meant, brother, no matter how tough things might be, you must take it and say nothing. Not once only did I curse the day I was born for the insults which I had to swallow, and this was without being given any meals. You can imagine how it was after the first year and a half when I had to eat there too and perforce sleep there also. By then I knew enough already to sew up a pair of cotton trousers, a pair of long john underwear pants (white gatkes) and a Leib-tzu-dekel.
By rights this meant that I was earning my keep, my meals. I used to take my meals in a corner under the great stove, so that the boss should not see. But if he would notice that I was not at the sewing machine, he would peer into my corner and make a sarcastic remark, To eat unfortunately no one is at hand, but to do his job, ay, ay, meaning the opposite.
Sleeping in. The room was about six to eight meters long, three meters wide. This was the workroom where five and sometimes six workers were employed. This was also the bedroom where six to eight people slept. This was also the dining room. Here too was the bake oven where the balabusta (boss's wife) baked bread and chaleh and did
[Page 44 - English]
all her cooking. And now are you anxious to know where I slept? On the topmost outer level of the oven, with a closed window through which I could see when it was dawn. Fridays I had no need to look. The balabusta would rise early to bake chaleh, and when she fired up the oven what do you think? My mattress was a sack stuffed with husks of groats which heated up fast. And small wild life, both brown and white, were also not lacking. So to get away alive I had to meekly (bimchilah) creep down and so anyway set down to work, even when it had been two in the morning when I had crept up the chimney to sleep. This house was so overrun with (unmentionables) that my own parents would not let me stay over a night to sleep with the. Once each week I would go to the sweat-bath and hang my underwear up to fumigate them a bit.
Nu, how does it strike you, to persevere through three such years? One had to be of iron. By the time I had finished out my three years, the older boss was already in the world-to-come and the younger bosses (who had at times looked into the Naprzod)) taught me a proper accounting. For having been sick sometimes, for the Sabbaths and Holy Days and for several occasions when I fled from them when I could no longer endure their torments, they added a bill of debts with a total balance of six months to work off. And I was compelled to work them off.
Yes, something had happened. I was already able to make a little vest also. One Friday I was finishing a vest and they had not given me any facings. I had to scrounge up scraps for facings. If it is someone's destiny to have tzuros, don't ask, they come to hand. I went over to where some odds and ends, tiny scraps were lying and the Evil Impeller (Yetzer Ha-Ra) slipped what I needed right into my hand. I finish my piece of work, with great pride hang it up, polish everyone's shoes and go to the sweat-bath. It was already twilight. Come my boss's son into the sweat-bath, hunts me down, and says, Shoyl, I don't know how to help you, but I have to tell you, you
[Page 45 - English]
cut up the facings of the jacket ordered by the Town Recorder, no more and no less. Everything swam in front of my eyes and I passed out. Some one doused me with a bucket of cold water. I come to. It is already dark. I dress, go to daven, go home, that is to say, to the tailor's table. No one looks at me, while I go through the Kiddush (ritual of blessing the wine) as if the greatest calamity (chalilah) has befallen me. I try to eat but every morsel gags me. I see the looks I get, looks to kill, to annihilate, to efface.[55] There is a hush over the house as if the most awful wrath of God had been invoked upon them all. And nonetheless they would be able to obtain the same material, and indeed they did buy it. And I also paid for the damage, but yet I was not finished. Sunday morning I rise up, sit down to my work. One of the two brothers, the one who considered himself as more enlightened, glared at me with his eyes without saying a word and handed me a gift of his fist and into my face so that I fell off my stool with the blood pouring from my nose. The second brother mumbled something but I no longer heard anything. I picked myself up, rinsed off my bloodied face, took my tefillin bag and fled, not caring to wait for anything else and so ran off to the synagogue to daven. O did I daven that day, full of arguing complaints to the Master-of-the-Universe, and definitely on the spot resolved to wind up the situation. I took off the tefillin, put them in the bag, and took the road to the railroad station. There were lined up the coachmen, one of whom was a kinsman of mine, rather an intelligent fellow (he is here in America now, if still alive, in Brownsville, Brooklyn), and he spoke to me in this manner of language, Shoyl-brother, you are not some kind of dope. Where will you go? You have no money; you have no workbook. Even if you reach some place on foot, the police will bring you back. Listen to me, come sit up here in my fiacre, make believe that nothing has happened, go back until the time when you will be legally free and then you can go travel wherever you will wish.
[Page 46 - English]
I understood my bitter plight, took my kinsman's counsel and turned back to town, wiped my lips, went back to the tailor's. Although the master's wife called me to eat, I did not go to the table. Who could eat at such a time? But riding in the coach I had decided one thing: once for all I must recover my workbook. And so it actually came about. I bided my time until a summer evening when no work was being done, but I casually arranged to have some overtime work. All the household were away davening Mincha-Maariv, and the mistress of the house was in the street. I knew where the workbook was kept. One, two, three, the workbook lies in my shirtfront. I rushed through my overtime work, slipped home to my parents, and hid the workbook in a cradle in the woodshed. But that was all for nothing. My bosses noticed that the booklet was missing, asked me if I knew where it was, which I naturally disclaimed. That face-slapping boss then applied to the municipal recorder and obtained a second workbook, which I still have with me to this day.
At the end of the six months in which I had to work off all the Sabbaths, holy days and days of illness, I had to anew indenture myself for one year, because there was no other tailor-employer available in Dobromil except in ready-to-wear, and for this I was not considered trained. I had no choice. At this time they would offer me no more than twenty-five gulden for the year, besides meals, and I was unwilling to remain with them. The old boss's wife came after me and said I will give you five gulden more from my money, so stay for the year. So I remained a year for meals and thirty gulden promised me. Later from America I sent the balabusta back five dollars for those five gulden. And so I would up my apprentice years as a garment worker.[56]
At that time I already used to glance into the Polish newspaper Naprzod edited by the Social Democrat named Dashinsky. I had already begun to listen to accounts of a May Day celebration in Przemysl. At sixteen or younger I was already traipsing after Social Democratic candidates who came to Dobromil. The only place they could hold
[Page 47 - English]
|The first apprentice workbook,
May, 1903 with signature of Dr. Zwicklitzer, Mayor
[Page 48 - English]
their meetings was in a barn.[57] In my seventeenth year I left Dobromil for Berlin in Germany and never set eyes on Dobromil again.
[Page 49 - English]
I Leave Dobromil
The previous chapter ends with the words, I leave Dobromil. But that was easier said than done.
When I left the tailor shop where I had suffered all those years, there first began a new series of tzuros (troubles). There was no employer where I could find work. All the masters were ready-to-wear tailors and in four and a half year as apprentice I had barely been taught to make a good pair of pants for the deputy-mayor; the place where I worked was the one firm who made his clothes. Again having no choice, I took the bull by the horns and applied to another tailor who happened to have some odd job orders for Shevuos. This boss was called the Austrian tailor, a Yeed with a long and broad unkempt beard which he stroked scholar-fashion. He was short in stuture but roly-poly with a substantial pot-belly over which he draped his beard to hide his belly, because such a belly and such a beard were not befitting a tailor.
His wife was the exact opposite, small and skinny, with a pitted face probably from a childhood pox, and with a very shrill voice. Their treasure was an only daughter who had very bad painful eyes as a result of complications from childhood measles. All this I discovered promptly the first day. And chatting over the work they found out that America was in my mind but traveling expenses were lacking in my pocket. Nu, they had a ready made plan all worked out. They were ready to give me all the expenses for going to America on the one condition that I join with their daughter under the bridal canopy. So I unhesitatingly
[Page 50 - English]
lifted not the canopy but my heels. I never entered that cottage again nor returned to that job. The mistress of the house came to check up on what had happened. Plainly and flatly I let her know that I engage in no brokered marriage and would surely find my traveling expenses when I would need them.
Meanwhile in those seasons when there were no market fairs, my mother used to take orders to sew up cheap ready made men's trousers for six greitzer a pair, bringing the material from the store, sewing them up, pressed and delivered back to the store. Going around idle was no career for me so willy-nilly I sat down to one of our two sewing machines and for three greitzer a pair sewed up trousers, three greitzer properly belonging to my mother for thread she bought, for cutting the cloth, pressing and delivering.
At that time there came to town an ex-Dobromiler visiting from America. Mother invited him to our home, an invitation he gladly accepted, there not being many attractions in Dobromil. And so he did come, this guest, and finds me sewing the trousers. He expressed astonishment, and said to Mother, Roise, in America he would lack for nothing. He is already a qualified worker, a pants operator. 'Ein kleinigkeit' (my goodness!), a pants operator, he repeated to make sure that Mother heard what he said. I, however, was hot and cold, hot because he touched on my wishes, and cold because my whole fortune was my thirty Austrian gulden, barely enough to reach the border of Austria, never enough for ship's passage.
The Master-of-the-Universe does not abandon us? Happens such a matter. Not far from Dobromil there exists another such creation, a shtetl half the size of Dobromil, named Chirov, and there my father had a kinsman named Chayim. Chayim used to come home each Pesach to his wife and children from Germany where he was a peddler in the suburbs of Berlin. Father also had kinfolk in Berlin who started as peddlers and worked up to be manufacturers and also big egg dealers. Reb Chayim even in Germany wore not only beard but also payos although tucked out of
[Page 51 - English]
sight. He had two daughters of marriageable age. He talked things over with my father and was willing to take me back to Berlin with him; but he wanted to meet me first. My shoes were at the repair shop. No other pair did I have. Father sympathizes with my dilemma, pulls off his own boots. I look at them. They are really too big for my feet but I pull them on, wash up, comb my hair and take off on foot to yonder shtetl. It cost only fifteen greitzer by train, but I would not indulge myself those fifteen greitzer. It was a fine day. I hike to Chirov. I arrive, am met at the door by the older daughter, about twenty-two or three, greeted with a smile and led into the cottage. Reb Chayim, a handsome Yeed with a fair face, a silver-streaked black beard, yarmulka on his head, sits over a rabbinical book. As I approached the table, he rose, gave me a warm handshake, and with smiling face offered me a cordial Sholom Aleichem (how do you do). He called Chaye, his wife, Look, look, this is Maier's son. He wants to go to Berlin. Certainly I will take him along. He is a skilled worker, will soon make good money. But tell me, how much have you? I tell him, something like thirty gulden. Enough for now, he says. And a passport? No. You think you can get a passport, because you must have one to cross the frontier into Germany?
Again I get cold all over. I am afraid, for two reasons. At that time all young men liable to military draft were held back. Second, there were good people around who only intended doing you a good turn, such as tipping off the government agencies, so that one was already cooked and well done, with no possibility of emigrating anymore. I took a pleasant leave of Reb Chayim, his wife and daughters and took the road back to Dobromil.
On the way back, all kinds of thoughts rush through my head. How to get a passport issued by the Porborcia.[58] He is actually not unfriendly to Jews, but my appearance itself would betray me. So I come home, talk things over with Mother. She covers her face with her hands, not to show tears. She understood intuitively that I was being torn
[Page 52 - English]
away from her, and she would never see me again. I comfort her; she will get a letter every week. When I am earning money, she will not be forgotten. She took her hands away from her face and with a sigh from the heart, she said, Done, tomorrow we go for a passport.
Next day at half past nine in the morning we go to the clerk of passports. We are told he is not in, away on vacation. We have to apply to the Poborcia himself. Mother does not hesitate, asks for his office and knocks at his door.. The exalted lord opens the door and asks, in Polish, what do you want. Mother seizes his hand and kisses it in the fashion of those times, and she proceeds to spin out a yarn of complaints before that person about how terrible life is with my father. She says such things about Father that I cannot understand, how can she say such things which are not so at all, plain scandalous words, and with tears to move a stone. The Lord interrupts, Aha, he wants to go to America. Mother swears by all that is holy that I go only to Berlin to find employment. And he will have to report for military service to the Austrian consulate in Berlin. Mother agrees, of course he will have to report for military service. Have you a workbook? he asks me. Yes, I take it out of my pocket and place it on the table. Come back in about two days, you will get the passport, but only up to your time for military service.
We go out into the street, mother and I, and I say, Mama, how did you dare to say such things about Dad? Kind meins, my child, if I had not made it such a tragedy, you would never get the passport.
Two days later, Friday, I went back up to the exalted Lord and an aide gave me my workbook with the permission to go to Germany inscribed. That summer, before leaving Dobromil, I enjoyed my aunt Zeesel's wedding and first after the autumn holidays, Reb Chayim and I took our departure.
We are riding to the railroad station: my father, myself, my uncle Maier Kramer who is driving the horse and wagon. (He was husband of my grandfather Reuben's sister Baila-Perl.) My mother did not go to the station. She was all
[Page 53 - English]
broken up. She saw, prophetically, that I was lost to her. Father having been a traveling salesman from his young years was not so much upset.
(There was another reason. My mother had gone through childbirth about twelve times in her life. The first born boy, Abraham, took strong fright at the sight of this world and ecided to flee hence when yet a little lad, all in all four years old. A second boy did not even want to stick it out a month, and right after his circumcision went off to the other world. Only four of us grew up. I took the place of the oldest; there was my sister Zlata, my brother Hershele and a sister Liebe Reisel, who was called Leibele, who was really a beauty. The other six infants did not even want to take a look at this world, not even to open one eye. Mother became invalided and was unable to bear live children. When I was about fourteen or fifteen, and was working on a job, late one night my father knocked at my boss's window and wakes me, Shoyl, get up, Mama is very sick. Then already understood what that meant and I spoke up to Father, not embarrassed to face him, How long will this go on?[59] My boss's wife, Sara, went with us to see what could be done until the doctor came.)
Yes, we are all three riding in one wagon, and all keeping very silent. Only the whistle of the wind, the clip clop of the horses, the cracking of the whip and the vee-oh of Uncle Maier to the horse were heard. We come in good order to the station. I lift off my package of supplies for the trip, which included two sets of underwear, my tefillin, two shirts, an extra leib-tzu-dekel, a little soft white cheese, with two pieces of bread, a little flask of brandy and a good piece of cake. The train shuffles in. I take leave of my father. His final words to me Look now, don't forget the 'davenin'-- for him the greatest worry.
I take my seat on the train, in a very depressed mood. There in Dobromil was no remaining; there where I go, what awaits me? A strange country, a strange language. I feel the tears welling up. I could really have cried plenty. Near me sits an older woman who sees my mood, and speaks to me. I hear nothing. My thoughts are far away. I
[Page 54 - English]
myself know not where. She began again, Young man, why so sad? Her words were like a needle to a blown up balloon ready to burst. I feel that I cannot control myself any longer and a torrent of tears fall down my cheeks. Like a mother she takes out her pocket handkerchief and wipes away my tears as I tell her that I have just taken final leave of my beloved father and mother, who knows if ever to see them again. This strange dear woman comforts me, and says to me, Don't be so troubled, you will surely make out well. And so the time passed, and we are already at the Przemysl railroad station, and saying goodbye.
Just as I enter the terminal building, to change trains, and there came Haman, there approaches a man with a tin badge on his cloak and tells me to open my package. I stop short, not understanding what he can find on me. I look at him questioningly, as if to say why should I open my package. He yells out at me, Why are you standing there like a dummy, open your package! And before I can open it, Aha! He already has the package spread out and he has seized the flask of brandy. He was a revenue inspector on guard against the import of liquor from other places. Nu, he had caught me in the act of a great crime, and announces, I think I will run you in. Meanwhile there arrived my kinsman from Chirov, with whom I was to go to Berlin. He speaks to the inspector, Well, you really are one terrific guardian of the law. Just see what you found on the boy, a sixteenth of brandy, enough to cover a man's tooth. You have yours already, let the kid go, he's traveling with me and we have to board the train. So with a little more hassle, my kinsman was able to bid him adieu, slipping him a coin in the hand, and we are already going into the railroad car, which we nearly missed. We had no seats for three or four hours, almost to Cracow.
At Cracow the train stopped for fifteen minutes and we went off for a breath of air. The car was jammed with people and the air was foul to breathe. We hear the whistle and hurry back to the train. Now there was more room. We took seats. It is beginning to get dark, Mincha-Maariv time. My kinsman stands up and davens the Mincha
[Page 55 - English]
service. So do I, but I admit and confess that Mincha and Maariv were not on my mind, and my bread and cheese I did not even taste. We approach the border crossing, Mislewicz. Here, says my kinsman, we have to move fast. So we go down to the station, our packages are inspected. Rushing, we are soon seated on the other side. Now, says my kinsman, we are on German territory. I look at him. German I understand, but not territory. He obviously understood my questioning look and explained, German soil.
We make ourselves comfortable, put our packages up on the shelf. This car also gets jammed, enough to make you feel faint. This is a third class carriage, my kinsman explains, where people are packed like cattle.
We have been riding perhaps half an hour, when a German railroad officer comes in and cries, All travel passes ready. I take out my workbook on which is written the few words authorizing my travel to Germany. The policeman takes my book, looks at me, looks at the book. I feel my soul leaving my body; they can be meshuga (wacky) and send me back whence I came in custody of a guard. Finally I heard his voice coming through to me, You have people expecting you? In a tremulous voice I answered, Thank you very much. That minute felt as long as the duration of the Jewish Diaspora. My kinsman came through easily. He simply showed a tax receipt showing that he was a resident of Berlin, with permission to travel.
So we ride through Germany all during the long night. I sit at the window, not sleeping a minute, just staring into the distant depths of the night. Here and there some flickering lamps flew past, some cottages, till day began to dawn. The train began to stop at every station, until about nine in the morning we pulled into Alexanderplatz station in Berlin. Dobromil was already far away. What will be?
[Page 56 - English]
Saul Miller stayed about two years in Berlin, and came to New York about 1909. Evenings he attended the well-known Eron Preparatory School on the East Side, mastering English, learning algebra, ancient and modern history, reading Shakespeare, Longfellow, Tennyson, as well as (in German) Goethe, Schiller and Heine. He was a garment worker all his life. As an active member of Local 9 of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, he became a top officer in the 1920's, always self-sacrificing in the interests of the workers who elected him. When factionalism split the union, he resigned office, feeling it was impossible to play a principled role. Later, when unity was restored, he was again a union leader, and served a field organizer for the ILGWU in Minneapolis, Kansas City, Baltimore and elsewhere during the years of the Committee for Industrial Organization (1937 1938).
After World War II he was a one-man committee of correspondence, seeking out all the surviving refugees of the Dobromil area, helping them to find new homes. For a time, when it seems possible to re-establish such centers, he organized the collection of books for libraries in Poland.
His life and his struggles were shared by his wife, Ida (1890-1958), daughter of Eliezer Loewenthal and Toba Argand, a descendant of Itzik'l Brief-trager.
He has always been a staunch spokesman for the rights of all peoples, a militant defender of the well-being of the working-class, a preacher for peace, always associated with those who were consistently principled in struggle for the liberation of humanity. To his children and grandchildren he has always conveyed the Vision enshrined in the first two chapters of Isaiah.

Prospect Osuna may need Tommy John surgery
ST. PETERSBURG -- Blue Jays top pitching prospect Roberto Osuna is in danger of requiring Tommy John surgery.
Osuna, who is the club's No. 2 prospect according to MLB.com, departed his last outing with Class A Lansing because of discomfort in his right elbow.
The 18-year-old was later diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament and paid a visit to renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Surgery hasn't been recommended just yet, but there's a possibility that it will be in the near future.
"Right now they said just to give him a few days and start playing catch," general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. "He's going to throw to 60 feet [today]. Right now it's basically rest and rehab. But there is a scenario if he does have a flare-up again in the next few weeks that ultimately he may need Tommy John."
Osuna ranks just behind promising right-hander Aaron Sanchez on the club's depth chart for pitching prospects. He has a plus fastball that can hit the mid-90s with reportedly very strong command.
The native of Mexico still needs to work on his slider, but all of his skills are very advanced for someone his age. The club may prefer to get the surgery out of the way now so it doesn't have a negative impact on his development during the later stages of his Minor League career.
Osuna was 1-2 with a 3.63 ERA in five games for Lansing this season.

Agreed. Seemed to energize the building
If not, we should all wear our "Heat=NO CLASS" shirts.
I think if the whole crowd went topless, that would energize them more.....Just sayin....
Could we pick and choose who goes topless as they enter the Fieldhouse? Just sayin', some may energize more than others.
They are putting gold swagger T's on the chairs again.

good. why we didn't do this for game 4 is beyond me.
Not sure that's the case, I don't the towels are that much less expensive. I think they were just trying something different to make sure people stayed jazzed about it.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
someone please snatch me one off some heat fans chair ...
I am going to find an old and dingy shirt and color "Fail" in the Heat style to go for the pep rally before I get my #GoldSwagger

There are some I would not want to see topless. Seeing them topless is better than any birth control method ever invented. Just scary !!! ...just saying....
I would rather be the hammer than the nail
I'd take the bad for the good, especially if the Pacemates are part of this.
Nothing in life worth having comes easy.
Well. I ended up getting called in for both shifts at work today, so I can't even go. ****ing awesome. ^_^
I hate my job sometimes.
Wish I could be at the game. I must find a way to get one of these Gold Swagger shirts!
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.

Facts About Child Welfare
in Fairfax County
including the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church
More than 250,000 children live in Fairfax County.
Child welfare services are provided in our community to protect children from harm; prevent abuse and neglect; support and enhance families' capacity to care for and nurture their children; and ensure the well-being of Fairfax County's children.
The Department of Family Services partners with the community to
achieve these goals:
The following statistics are from Fiscal Year 2009 (July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009). For more information see the Children, Youth and Families section of the Advisory Social Services Board Annual Report.
Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect
Child abuse prevention programs support families, particularly those at risk of child abuse or neglect, through community-based, family-focused and early intervention services.
- 617 families received first-time parent services (home visits from a social worker and nurse).
- 370 families participated in parenting classes.
Support and Preserve Families
Family preservation programs are designed to help families who are at a moderate to high risk of child abuse and neglect, to improve family functioning and strengthen family supports.
- An average of 408 families (including 940 children) received services in their homes each month.
Keep Children Safe from Abuse and Neglect
Child Protective Services protects children from abuse and neglect by assessing their safety, risk of harm, and the family's strengths and needs; providing services and support to families; and taking action if necessary to assure the children's safety.
25,072 calls were made to the Child Protective Services

Serve Children in Foster Care and Achieve Permanency
When children cannot safely remain with their families, they may enter foster care and live with a foster family or in a group home or residential facility. Services are provided to enable children to return home safely or to be placed in another permanent living arrangement such as with an adoptive family.
- 132 children entered foster care.

***Spoilers*** WWE Smackdown 29/6/12 - in depth!
Starts with
AJ v Lyla
, usual Divas match, Bryan costs AJ when he distracts her. Bryan says its not nice to be cost a match, is it AJ! Haha #heel! Says he isn't leaving the ring til he gets to speak to Vickie about his WWE title match.
Promo with AJ and Bryan, doing a "YES!" off. Kinda awkward, is it wrong I pictured thats what they sounded like in the throws of passion?
Vickie comes out and he finds out AJ is the special guest ref between him and Punk at MITB. Does Bryan like this decision? "NO! NO! NO! NO!"
Vickie explains the WHC MITB match format, announces qualifiers over the next 2 weeks, starts...now!
MITB QualifIer: Ryder v Sandow:
Match starts with Ryder getting some good offence in. Match turns when Sandow boots Ryder in the knee while cowering in the corner, stomps, kicks, the Elbow of Destain follow for a 2 count. Ryder fights back with a face plant and a missile drop kick from the top rope for another 2 count. Decent back and forth match so far. Sandow worked into the corner, Broski Boot! He's calling for the Rough Ryder...Sandow ducks and counters into dropping Ryder across the top rope. Sandow hits the neck braker, hooks the leg and its over! Good match. Ryder made not to look a complete jobber by getting in some good offence and Sandow remains undefeated.
Bryan is in the back looking for AJ. Tries the Divas locker room. Gets told by some Diva (I fast forward when they're on so had no idea who it was!) that she wasn't there and he shouldn't bother, as AJ is a little unstable!
MITB Qualifier: Kidd v Swagger :
Match starts with some decent chain wrestling, Kidd with a roll up and 2 count. Knee to the gut from Swagger, attempts to throw Kidd over the top rope, Kidd holds on, skims the cat, latches on to Swagger with another roll up for a 1 count this time. Swagger tosses Kidd into the corner, big splash, tosses him across the ring. Swagger runs to the other corner, Swagger bomb on Kidd for a 2 count.
Great psychology from these two in this match. Kidd hits a DDT from nowhere. Swagger runs at Kidd but is floored by a boot to the face. Kidd, top rope, Swagger makes his way to his feet, Kidd off the top and hits a swinging kneck breaker for the 3 count! Big shock, good match, great showing from both these guys.
MITB QualifIer: Santino and Christian v Otunga and Rhodes:
Before the match Otunga's music stopped and he did some posing in the middle of the ring. Hey, Otunga, Chris Masters and Lex Luger called...they want their gimmick back!
Santino and Rhodes start things off. Trade arm bars, Cody tossed into the corner and Santino tags in Christian. Christian continues to work the arm. Hard slap to the face on Rhodes. And another! Rhodes bounced off the ropes, knee to Christian. Picks up the IC champ for a suplex, holds him up for for a few seconds and drops him on his stomach for a 2 count. Otunga tagged in who goes to work on Christian. A slam and running tackle for a 2 count. Otunga talks smack to the ref, Rhodes with a quick stomp on Christian while the back is turned. Vintage heel stuff. Rhodes tagged back in and Christian is in need of a hot tag...badly!
Tag to Otunga, they double team him but Christian ducks Otunga's punch which nails Rhodes! Santino shoves Rhodes out of the ring, distracts Otunga who clotheslines him over the top rope. Otunga turns and runs straight into a spear from Christian for a 3 count for the win! They celebrate outside the ring with Christian doing Santino's trumpet celebration.
AJ is backstage, talking to herself (for a change!). Bryan finds her! Says he is sorry for costing her the match earlier and is worried about her well being. Asks if she has ever considered professional help. He says he has a doctor friend, he could help her, cos thats what people that care about each do, they HELP each other. He asks AJ if he wants him to give her the number? "Yes." Says AJ...then again...and again...and again, before skipping off...shes a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic this girl!
Jobber 1 charges at Ryback, picks him up above his head and slams him on his back. Jobber 2 thinks "to hell with this!" and leaves the ring to go back up the ramp. Ryback cuts him off at the pass and delivers a BIG boot to the chest. He drags Jobber 1 out of the ring. Tosses Jobber 1 back in the ring. Jobber 2 hits a big kick. Ryback just stands like "WTF?" Another kick. Jobber 2 runs back for one final kick but is met with a MONSTER kick by Ryback to the midsection.
Jobber 1 is back in the ring and jumps on top of Ryback from behind. It looks like he is trying a sleeper hold. "STUPID!" Ryback grabs his neck drops to the ground. Kinda like a Stone Cold Stunner. Pretty cool actually! "FINISH...IT!" declares Ryback! Picks them both up, little march around the ring, samoa drop type gimmick, highly illegal pin and its over! (sorry, but just cos he is Ryback doesn't mean he should be getting away with this one guy on top of the other shit, both shoulders of BOTH men should be down, sort it out WWE!)
Cesaro and Aksana backstage. Teddy Long comes by. Says there is no hard feelings towards their relationship. Cesaro sarcastically thanks Teddy. He tells them he will be the GM for both Raw and Smackdown next week. Cesaro and Aksana exchange a glance and Aksana tries to be all seductive and nice to Teddy. It doesn't wash with Long. Announces at the Smackdown Great American Bash a tag team match (Vintage Long) between Cesaro and Askana and Layla and The Great Khali...hmmm, can't wait for that one :/
MITB Qualifier: Gabriel v Tensai:
The match starts well for Gabriel, he hits Tensai with some punches and chops. They don't seem to be having a great deal of effect but so far so good...until he came off the rope and ate a huge should block for The Artist formerly know as Albert!
Tensai picks up Gabriel and pushes him by the face over the top rope. Justin hits Tensai with a punch and climbs the top rope, he dives off the top rope and hits a vicious upper cut. Tensai mounts Gabriel and unloads with elbows to the back of the head. Kind of a modified fisherman's suplex from Tensai for a 2 count. The big man is DOMINATING Justin right now.
Bear hug, Gabriel fights out with elbows to the back of the skull, Gabriel off the top rope with a missile drop kick. Justin hits a lionsalt for a 2 count. More martial arts kicks to the front and back of Tensai, Gabriel is caught off the 2nd rope pick up and Albert bombed! Tensai bounces off the ropes and drops himself back first on Gabriel. Thats all she wrote. Tensai is going to money in the bank.
Decent outing from Tensai here, not a massive fan of his but it was a decent little match. Gabriel wasn't completely squashed so doesn't lose any credibility.
Triple Threat for WHC: Sheamus (c) vs Del Rio vs Ziggler:
Sheamus starts by attacking Ziggler, Sheamus jumped by Del Rio. Sheamus fights both Ziggler and Del Rio off. Ziggler planted face first into the turn buckle then Del Rio takes a right hand to the gut, thrown in the corner and takes a beat down from Sheamus. He breaks away from Del Rio and does a running clothesline to Ziggler, forcing him out of the ring. The champion is on fire!
Ziggler is sent for a ride by the champion. Sheamus gets a 2 count and is jumped by Del Rio as he makes his way to his feet. Del Rio with an armbar take down for a 2 count. He gets up and continues to work the arm, ramming his knee into the shoulder a few times then sticking him in an arm bar. Sheamus powers out then smacks Del Rio in the face a couple of times, he goes to bounce off the ropes but Ziggler, still on the outside, pulls the top rope down, forcing Sheamus to the outside! He stomps Sheamus, makes his way in the ring, Del Rio goes for a tilt the whirl slam, but Ziggler lands on his feet then hits a picture perfect drop kick. Ziggler attacks him with lefts and rights, slams his head into the steal steps. He rolls Del Rio into the ring and gets a 2 count.
Del Rio gets the upper hand. He throws Ziggler into the corner, goes for the big splash, misses, Ziggler tries a quick cover but only gets a 2 count. Dolph stamps Del Rio in the corner. "Lets go Sheamus!" Chants are heard, despite Ziggler and Del Rio being the only two in the ring. Great editting work from the WWE again. I don't see what harm when two heels are fighting each other in the crowd siding with one.
After the break both Del Rio and Ziggler are double teaming Sheamus outside the ring. Del Rio takes Sheamus, bashes his head in the steal steps then rolls him into the ring where the double team continues! Del Rio motions for Ziggler to get to the top rope. Ziggler does so. Del Rio, sneaky bugger, goes for the pin but is interupted by Ziggler at 2. Dolph and Del Rio argue, exchange shoves and then punches. They headbutt each other at the same time which stuns them both, allowing Sheamus to do a battering ram off the top rope on both of them!
Sheamus clears house. Power slam on Del Rio, 2 count interupted by Ziggler. Ziggler sent to the apron and hit with the clubbing blows by the champion. Del Rio goes for the cross arm breaker but Sheamus counter its, kinda (looks like Del Rio botched.) Brogue Kick, ducked, Irish Curse back breaker for 2, Ziggler again interupts. Sheamus goes to hit Del Rio in the corner, misses and hits his shoulder on the corner post. Ziggler still on the outside hits Sheamus with a drop kick on his injured shoulder. Ziggler tries to get back in the ring but hit with a FIERCE inzaguri from Del Rio. Del Rio sinches in the cross arm breaker but its broke up by Dolph. Fame asser to Del Rio...he kicks out on 2! Ricardo on the apron, Del Rio shoved into Ricardo who is sent crashing to the floor, Ziggler with the roll up and a hand full of tights...1...2...BROUGE KICK! Del Rio tossed to the outside and Sheamus picks up the 3 count!

I have a new found respect for people that do these spoilers/reviews. Took me FOREVER to do. Watching a bit of action, pausing it, writing it down, press play, repeat. So time consuming!
