Preview - Derby County v Manchester United
Friday, 14th Mar 2008 11:44
Roll up, Roll up. For one day only at Pride Park in Durrby, the Champions of England give it up for MaaaaanChessster Yoooonited!!!!!
Derby County v Manchester United
You'd be forgive for thinking that Manchester United were coming to Derby for the first time ever in history for some of the marketing of this game. Okay the club is in business to make money but the primary reason most of us go to Pride Park is to see DCFC. As someone gruffly put it on another site; "And personally Tom I don't care how special it is that Man Utd are at Pride Park on Saturday, it would mean the same to most of us if it was Swansea."
There are several executive packages on the official site that are ostensibly aimed at Derby fans yet in reality are only likely to appeal to glory hunting Manchester United fans. Would you pay £1000 to be part of an honour guard for possibly the worst team in Derby County's history? No me neither. Would it appeal to a wealthy Manchester United fan? Probably.
Football is an odd game when you think about. Imagine going to the theatre and finding the star performer replaced by an understudy? Yet the vast majority of Derby fans would be happy if Ronaldo, Tevez & Rooney were given the day off tomorrow.
That would be one in the eye for the glory hunting fans sitting among the home support or offering an honour guard onto the pitch.
I don't include tha vast majority of the Mancester United travelling faithful in the above category. The United travelling faithful are proper fans in every sense of the word - much like our own.
There probably isn't anyone on the planet expecting a Derby victory tomorrow. Mark Lawrenson is typical when he says; "Manchester United will go there, probably rest one or two players and still have a side packed with match-winners, and win this one comfortably."
One person who will not take a Manchester United victory for granted is Sir Alex Fergusson. There was no disguising sir Alex's anger after the shock defeat by Portsmouth last week. Although he's now been called to the FA to explain his comments, there's little doubt that his players will have taken his anger on board and probably won't want to feel the sharp edge of his tongue again.
Current Manchester United Squad
No. Position Player
Last 5 games
Lyon 1-1 Man Utd
Danger Men
Before the Chelsea game, I commented that their leading scorer Frank Lampard had only managed six league goals. He got another four with ease. If Manchester United's leading scorer does something similar, he will score 9 or 10 times!
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 21 league goals from midfield for the Reds and is the Premiership's leading scorer. Even the most passive of armchair supporters will be aware of the Portuguese winger. His ball skills are a joy to watch and unlike many other tricky wingers of the past, he has a shot on him and an eye for goal that most strikers would die for.
What doesn't come across when watching him on match of the day is his pace, work rate and physique. He's six foot one and well built and not easy to knock off the ball. Add to that the fact that he is two footed and it's fair to say both Marc Edworthy and Jay McEveley are probably having sleepless nights.
Ronaldo has the ability to achieve his long term goal of being the best player in the world.
It would sound churlish to go on about his diving etc. but one incident stood out at the home game. We were already pretty much a beaten side when we conceded the late penalty at Old Trafford. Ronaldo had been pretty quiet in the game however he insisted on taking the penalty despite the fact that Carlos Tevez only needed one more goal for a hat-trick. That summed up the man for me.
Ben Foster will be making his debut in goals following Tomasz Kuszczak's dismissal last week. For all the efforts we get on goals, Fergie would be as well playing himself or leaving Rio Ferdinand between the sticks
Giggs & Saha are both doubtful while Gary Neville, although back in training, is still a few weeks away from the first team squad.
The Rams
Paul Jewell after the Chelsea match;
"We are going to have to grit our teeth until next season now. The players tried their best, but as a group they just cannot compete with teams like these and this pace, they are playing at a different level to us. It is difficult to watch. It's a great league to be in if you are competitive, but there's no hiding place."
Tried their best? That isn't the opinion of the long suffering supporters who made it to Stamford Bridge. It's also not the opinion of legendary Chelsea hard man Ron 'Chopper' Harris.
"That group of players are an embarrassment to themselves and a disgrace to their football club, to accept their wages after performing as terribly and as spinelessly as they have is a joke. They were the worst side I have ever seen at Stamford Bridge. You have to feel sorry for the fans, paying to see that rubbish every week. They don't seem to care about the club or their professional pride. I think they should pay the fans to come to the rest of their games - it's the least the players can do after being so poor for so long."
Harsh words but actually printable unlike many of the summary's I've heard from fans at Stamford Bridge.
Equally as telling is this little gem from Mile Sterjovski; "We did get a backlash and I don't think we were prepared for it. If we'd been fully prepared and put the effort in we could have got a better result. But after a result like that, it hurts a lot."
Weren't prepared for a backlash? What planet are these players from? You should have asked one of the supporters in the stand what you were likely to be up against Mile. If you ask on Saturday you'll hear them telling you Manchester United are a better side than Chelsea and they are smarting from a cup exit as well. They have several good players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand.
Cards on the table, I think that Paul Jewell is the man to take the club forward. Having said that, he needs to put himself in the fans position. I think he's a Liverpool fan; how would he feel if Rafael Benitez said that Liverpool couldn't compete with Arsenal & Manchester United? That Barcelona & Real Madrid were playing "at a different level?"
We aren't expecting to beat the likes of Chelsea or Manchester United. We do expect our players to do their absolute best. The fact is that some of the players have given up and aren't giving their all and that is why the fans are disgruntled and you may hear them booing on Saturday.
Mick's Team: With a few notable exceptions, most of the current squad are not fit to wear the white shirt of Derby County. I therefore refuse to pick a team.
Squad: Carroll, Edworthy, Stubbs, Leacock, Moore, McEveley, Sterjovski, Ghaly, Earnshaw, Savage, Pearson, Lewis, Miller, Price, Villa.
What the Bookies think
The odds on Shergar winning the Grand National with Elvis riding him are slightly more favourable than the Rams winning this one. You can get 14/1 on the Rams but be warned, The Bookies will pass your details on to the Men in White Coats and you'll be carted off to the funny farm.
Manchester United are at 1/7 on and the draw is 9/2. 0-6 to Manchester United is 33/1, and a Ronaldo hat-trick is 16/1. Worth a double up?
You can get 150/1 on a Kenny Miller hat-trick.
Information for travelling fans
Drinking: There are very few pubs very close to the ground but if you come by train, the locale around the station is fairly inviting. The Crown and Cushion at the junction of London Rd always seems to be full of away supporters. The Brunswick is a must for any real ale fans and the Alexandra next door is my personal favourite. Fans tend to mingle in these pubs and as long as you're not being aggressive, the atmosphere is good. The Waterfall opposite the station is okay as well. If you are driving, the Navigation Pub on London Rd opposite the parking area is your best bet.
Driving: Manchester to Derby is about 80 miles. Take the M6 then head south until J16 or J15 (not much in it) then A500 to the A50 through Stoke. Follow the A50 to Derby and stay on it until the turn off for Alvaston. There will be traffic around Alvaston however if you stay on London Rd you can get to the parking areas described below. Traffic on the M6 will be the key factor in arrival times but I usually make this journey in less than two hours.
Of course more than a few of you live nearer to Pride Park than I do. So you probably already know the way.
Parking: It used to be at the old Wilmorten College site however that is now a building site so away fans should park at Catalyst on London Rd opposite the Navigation pub. It's about 10-15 minutes from the ground. Don't be tempted to park at Pride Park shopping centre unless you fancy being clamped. You can also park for a £5 at the hospital further up London Rd near the hospital and the Railway station. Another alternative is to take the Derby Ring road towards the City Centre and pass the exit for Pride Park on Brian Clough Way (A52) and head for Pentagon Island. Take the first exit and turn left and after a few hundred yards you will come to The Cattle Market Car Park. It's about 10 minutes walk to the ground from here.
Mick's Prediction
We're going to lose and what's more we'll probably be humiliated. And after the game Paul Jewell's comments will be:
"the fans were amazing, they deserve better, they're part of the reason I came here...we make some incredible basic errors...we've got a big job ahead but the squad will be completely changed next year...we just want the season over with..."

trespass against him, 13. And a man lie with her carnally,

close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against
her, neither she be taken with the manner; 14. And the spirit
of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife,
and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon

15. Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest,
and…18. And the priest shall set the woman before the
Lord, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering

Fight over buying cigarette leaves Mumbai man with serious injuries
Based on the complaint filed by Saddam Sayeed Khan, 24, a resident of Baiganwadi in Govandi, the police arrested and booked Abibullahmumbai Updated: Sep 04, 2017 09:34 IST
The Shivaji Nagar Police on Saturday registered a case after a 24-year-old man was assaulted over a tiff that took place over a cigarette.
Based on the complaint filed by Saddam Sayeed Khan, 24, a resident of Baiganwadi in Govandi, the police arrested and booked Abibullah. They said Abibullah and his two his friends were standing near a dispensary at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Nagar when the incident occurred.
"Khan's brother was passing by when he was stopped by the trio. They told him to buy them a cigarette," said a police officer.
Khan left home in the early hours of Saturday to seek explanation from the trio about their action. However, a fight broke out between the four around 4am. A couple of hours later, the three accused attacked Khan with bamboo and a sharp weapon.
"While Abibullah hit Khan on the back and legs with the bamboo, another attacked him on head and fingers with the sharp weapon," the officer added.
Khan was rushed to the nearby hospital. While the police arrested Abibullah, they are on the lookout for his friends.
A case has been registered under sections 307 (attempt to murder), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means), 326 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.

Albuquerque, N.M. • The Navajo Nation is appealing the dismissal of a lawsuit it filed against Wells Fargo, accusing the company of engaging in predatory and unlawful practices.
A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit last month at the request of Wells Fargo.
The company argued that many claims were addressed through a previous consumer protection action, and that the tribe lacked standing to file other claims. The tribe filed a notice of appeal Friday with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Navajo President Russell Begaye has said the tribe will not back down in its efforts to hold Wells Fargo accountable for harming Navajo people, especially tribal elders.
Wells Fargo has five branches on the reservation that stretches into New Mexico, Utah and Arizona, and 12 others within a 30-minute drive.

The implementation of these options will depend on your local circumstances for example, the size and strength of third sector organisations, your current contractual arrangements and your policies for bulky waste. Each option will potentially divert differing amounts of bulky waste; a call centre referral system generally diverts less than a system where one organisation collects all bulky waste, including items for disposal, reusing and recycling as much as possible.

Kallas: EU's support should be focused on visible transeuropean projects
The EC deputy president also dispersed a common worry of some member-states that the EU assistance in the following financial perspective might be too scattered. At least in the field of transport, as he claims, the support is planned to be focused on more visible transeuropean projects, reports LETA/ELTA,
"It does not make any sense to allocate small amounts of money in the transport field," Kallas said. "The Parliament will approve the budget. The Commission's joint proposal is to allocate more funds to the infrastructure and transport projects, particularly in the eastern part of the EU," Kallas added.
Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius stressed that Lithuania's priority and orientation towards the high-technologies remains unchanged, and at the same time, it tallies with a goal of having a modern infrastructure. "It is very important that the Commission has highlighted the financing of the transeuropean connections in a special programme. It allows expecting that energy and transport connections which are of high importance to us will be efficiently financed, depending of how efficient we will be in drafting and implementing particular projects," Kubilius said.
Transport Minister Eligijus Masiulis says that the European Commission should pay more attention to Rail Baltica since some member states are rather passive in implementing the project.
The transport minister Friday discussed the progress of Rail Baltica with Deputy President of the European Commission Siim Kallas responsible for transport.
"Lithuania has made the biggest progress in this project. The first stage of building the European railway from Mockava to Sestokai has been practically completed. Design works continue in other sections stretching to Kaunas," said Masiulis.
Rail Baltica is considered to be one of the strategic projects which are aimed to link the Baltic railway system to Western Europe.
"But some of the participants are rather passive in the project, in our opinion. Naturally, it is caused by the lack of money. We think that the European Commission should be more active in coordinating the project. The European railway from Tallinn to Warsaw must be built as soon as possible. It must be taken into account when deciding on European budget allocations to the transport infrastructure," the transport minister said.
The European railway from the Polish border to Kaunas is estimated to cost about 850 million litas. Part of the costs will be covered by the European Union.
Lithuania also wants the EU to allocate support in 2014-2020 to the European railway section from Kaunas to the Latvian border.
Lithuania would like to see the European Commission representing the interests of European Union member states in their talks with Russia more often, Transport Minister Eligijus Masiulis said in a meeting with Deputy President of the European Commission .
Masiulis gave talks on the number of bilateral and trilateral permits to transport companies as an example. Currently, each EU country holds separate negotiations with Russia on the number of the permits. "It is more difficult for smaller states to achieve more favourable agreements in talks. If the European Commission coordinated the talks, both sides would have equal negotiating leverage," Masiulis was quoted as saying in a press release of the Transport Ministry. More active involvement of the EC would also be welcome when third countries change rules for the imports from the European Union. The last time Lithuanian road hauliers had troubles with the imports was in February, when long queues of trucks formed at the border with Russia.

Stores and online shopping portals across India are offering a slew of environment-friendly rakhis for the more than 60 crore Indians that celebrate Raksha Bandhan each year. Here are a few options:
Seed Rakhi: The seed rakhi, made organically by farmers using cotton with natural dyes, will ensure that a plant or tree will remind you of the love you share forever. Plant the rakhi after Raksha Bandhan is over, water it and watch it blossom into new life. Most of the rakhis come attached with a seed paper card. The rakhi comes in a beautiful box made out of waste cotton and is handcrafted to perfection.
Bamboo Rakhi: These rakhis use wafer thin bamboo shavings cut into stars, triangles and pyramids, among others, as a base for locally-sourced decoration material. Bamboo rakhis are usually manufactured by tribal people. A number of organisations working with tribal women have been exhibiting bamboo rakhis.
Paper Rakhi: In many schools, there are competitions for students to design rakhis from waste paper. Apart from fostering creativity, this practice teaches children about protecting natural resources. Anyone can make a paper rakhi at home, and one can even paste paper cuttings of animals or other designs to the rakhi.
Even commercially available paper rakhis are designed in such a way that they can be recycled.
Clay Rakhi: These are plantable clay rakhis with seeds of Vinca Rosea, also known as Sadabahar, a pink coloured flowering plant that blooms throughout the year. These rakhis are handmade and hand painted using eco-friendly paints and alta (red dye). This rakhi needs to be planted the same day or the day after it is worn, because it is not baked and is fragile in nature. These rakhis come in a corrugated box sealed with paper tape. The attempt is to make the festival waste-free. In most cases, the rakhi is packed in a box made of waste cotton and placed on a bed of coconut fibre.
NGO showcases handmade products for Raksha Bandhan
The Pragati Foundation, an NGO that helps unemployed women and youths get sustainable livelihoods, is displaying a range of handmade products for Raksha Bandhan at multiple outlets of restaurant Upsouth.
The products include rakhis, earrings, necklaces, toran, keychains, dolls and fabric bags.
The products have been made by women from slums in Pune and will be available at the restaurant's Wakad, Aundh and Viman Nagar branches till August 15.

You are made to feel like family
I don't think I can recommend Charlton Hall and the marvellous people who work there enough. Faye and myself got married there on 15 December 2018 and the whole journey from choosing the venue through the day itself and the breakfast the next day was excellent. It is hard to put into words the work and effort they put into the wedding. We were chatting to David on leaving and the best way to describe the relationship between us and Charlton Hall is not one of a customer, you are made to feel like family.

Akiko Hirai took a circuitous route before finding her place at Chocolate Factory N16, an artists' studio in northeast London that she shares with more than two dozen artists, sculptors, designers and painters. Mounds of clay, a gas kiln and a potter's wheel signal Hirai's speciality: ceramics.
Hirai first visited the U.K. in the mid-1990s after quitting her job in Tokyo. She had been working at an advertising agency for a few years after leaving college, but, she says with a laugh, "I didn't like the company, I didn't like the job, I didn't like my colleagues. I didn't like anything about it."
Her sister was in London studying photography, so she left for the U.K. and enrolled in English-language classes. While learning English is pro forma for many newly arrived visitors and immigrants, Hirai's next move was unusual: She signed up with a volunteer agency to work at a homeless shelter and found herself posted to Northampton, a large town in the English Midlands about 110 kilometers north of London.
As an undergraduate at Aichi Gakuin University, Hirai had studied psychology, and while she had little practical experience, she wanted to be useful while in England, she explains. In Northampton, however, she was thrown in at the deep end.
She admits that she was a little naive at the time, and in certain cases she was unable to fully understand situations because of her language ability, making a difficult job even harder. And so, after eight months, she chose to leave. But her time in Northampton exposed her to a side of life in England that she says she would have never experienced in a classroom setting or in her studio.
"It was very stressful but very interesting," she recalls. "I wouldn't have met so many different types of people if I hadn't had that experience."
Working at a homeless shelter also helped Hirai understand some of her own strengths and weaknesses. "Living with somebody else and trying to help them through their problems is really tough, and at one point I just thought I'm actually not very good at dealing with people," she says.
In that respect, Hirai's next step made more sense — to learn a craft that involved spending a great deal of time alone working on expressing her own thoughts. For this, she chose the medium of clay.
After leaving the shelter and returning to London, Hirai says she needed "rehabilitation from mental fatigue," which led to her enrolling as an adult learner in a pottery course at City and Islington College. "I wanted to make things with my hands," she says, "and it (pottery) was quite relaxing."
Again, her previous experience was limited. Hirai had been in the photography club at university in Japan but says, "it was nothing really serious."
From the get-go, however, Hirai discovered that she had a natural affinity for working with clay. So much so that she would bring clay home from her school to carry on working.
Now, nearly two decades on, Hirai is firmly established in the U.K. as a leading potter, having shown her work in exhibitions across Europe.
"I saw one end of society (at the homeless shelter) and I'm seeing the other end now — it's quite interesting," Hirai says of the contrast between those in need that she met in the shelter and the wealthy collectors who now buy her pieces.
She finished her arts training at Central Saint Martins, an art school of the Universty of the Arts London, graduating with a degree in ceramic design. This was followed by a 10-year stint of teaching ceramics at Kensington & Chelsea College, while she set up her personal business at Chocolate Factory N16.
Studying in England, Hirai explains, was a much easier and cheaper option for her than returning to Japan to learn a new craft or skill. It was also, she suspects, less arduous.
She recalls the story of one of her Japanese students, whom she taught ceramics to in London, who subsequently returned to Japan to continue studying. She heard that the student's teacher, a distinguished ceramicist in Kyoto, would humiliate students and denigrate their efforts for something as little as not cleaning the floor properly.
In contrast, in the U.K. Hirai considers her time as a teacher to be one of continued education.
Though she was unsure if she would enjoy it at first, she explains that teaching not only helped her continue learning about her craft, but it also forced her to become a better communicator.
One of the aspects that attracted Hirai to London — and still does — is the city's multiculturalism. In one class she taught, of the 15 students present, there were 12 different nationalities. "You wouldn't have that experience in Japan, especially in my hometown of Shizuoka," she says.
Back in Japan, however, her parents didn't really approve of her work. They worried of the viability of a career in the arts — but, as Hirai says half-jokingly, "they can't actually say anything as long as I don't ask for their help."
Yvonna Demczynska, the founder of Flow Gallery in Notting Hill, has been exhibiting Hirai's ceramics for more than a decade and says she was attracted by the Japanese essence of Hirai's work — the beauty revealed in imperfections and the pared-down nature of her vessels.
Gallerists Juliana Cavaliero and Debra Finn, of the art gallery and store Cavaliero Finn say it is the contrasts inherent in Hirai's pieces that drew them in.
"When we first saw Akiko's work we were blown away by the simplicity yet complexity of her work that appears both fragile and solid, glossy and raw."
The down-to-earth quality of Hirai's work also reflects her unpretentious personality. She recalls that when she started out, she never imagined that she could make a living from just making art, especially in a city, like London, that is overflowing with artists.
"I have been lucky," Hirai says of the support and encouragement she's received in the U.K. "I've also been quite honest with my work. Of course you have to sell your work, but if it's not right for me, I don't want to make it."

Shigeru Ishiba (石破 茂, Ishiba Shigeru, born 4 February 1957) is a Japanese politician. Ishiba is a member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and of Heisei-Kenkyukai (part of the party faction led by Fukushiro Nukaga) until 2011. He was Minister of Defense from 2007 to 2008 and was also Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The LDP lost government in 2009, and in 2012 after challenging for the presidency of the LDP and losing to Shinzō Abe he accepted the position of Secretary-General of the LDP on 27 September 2012. Since 3 September 2014 he has served in cabinet as minister overseeing regional economic revitalization and policies aimed at reversing population decline.
Born and raised in Yazu District, Tottori, his father Jiro was the governor of Tottori Prefecture. Ishiba graduated from Keio University in 1979 and started working in Mitsui Bank.
Ishiba was appointed as the Minister of Defense to the cabinet of Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda on 26 September 2007, serving in that post until 1 August 2008. Ishiba was the second person in the cabinet of Fukuda to express belief in the existence of UFOs after Nobutaka Machimura. To that end he appeared on a Japanese TV program which featured dubbed extracts from the National Geographic Channel's Alien Invasion series in June 2012.
Following Fukuda's resignation, Ishiba stood as a candidate for the LDP presidency. In the leadership election, held on 22 September 2008, Tarō Asō won with 351 of the 527 votes; Ishiba placed fifth and last with 25 votes. In Aso's Cabinet, appointed on 24 September 2008, Ishiba was named as Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
In 2012, while the LDP was still in opposition, Ishiba again stood for the presidency of the LDP and was narrowly defeated by Shinzō Abe. He accepted the position of secretary general on 27 September 2012. Abe re-appointed him to the position after the December 2012 election in which the LDP returned to government.
He attracted considerable criticism for his statement in November 2013 that likened peaceful public protests against the new secrecy bill being introduced by his government to "acts of terrorism". He later withdrew the comment.
In the September 2014 cabinet reshuffle, Abe moved Ishiba from his position as LDP Secretary General and appointed him to a newly created office of Minister for Overcoming Population Decline and Vitalizing Local Economy. He was reported to have declined the offer of a cabinet post responsible for the government's upcoming security legislation.
In spite of having been a vocal critic of factionalism in the LDP, Ishiba launched his own faction, the Suigetsukai, on September 28, 2015, with the aim of succeeding sitting prime minister, Shinzo Abe. However, with 19 members, excluding Ishiba, it was one member short of the 20 votes required for nomination for LDP leadership.
Ishiba is affiliated to the openly revisionist organization Nippon Kaigi.
Ishiba is known as a "gunji otaku" (military geek) and has a keen interest in military matters. He is known for having a lot of expertise related to weapons systems, legal issues about defense and is also fond of building and painting models of aircraft and ships.
Ishiba has repeatedly stated that he believes that Japan needs its own equivalent of the United States Marine Corps to be able to defend its many small islands, in 2010 when he was policy chief for the LDP in opposition, and as secretary-general of the party in March 2013 after the LDP regained government.
In 2011, Ishiba backed the idea of Japan maintaining the capability of building nuclear weapons:
I don't think Japan needs to possess nuclear weapons, but it's important to maintain our commercial reactors because it would allow us to produce a nuclear warhead in a short amount of time ... It's a tacit nuclear deterrent
During the 2013 North Korean crisis, Ishiba stated that Japan had the right to deliver a preemptive strike against North Korea.

Pendolino sounds like a pharmaceutical drug or an anal suppository, but it is in fact a super yummy Italian Restaurant in the Strand Arcade in Sydney. The four of us talked over the top of each other for two hours and ate. I had scallop ravioli which was like a little gift from heaven washed down with several glasses of chardonnay. Then split a chocolate pudding with the Divine Ms M. Heaven. As we left, we all dared Sawhole to run into the private dining room which was hosting a large group of drunken suits and point and yell "YOU ARE A FRAUD!" to one of them. We did not need to ask her twice. It silenced the gaggle of banker wankers who stared at her so she bolted to the lift, which kept us waiting for a minute while they continued to stare at her. So the concept was good but the exit strategy was ill conceived. That SawHole. She really will do anything for a laugh.
Then we went and saw my queen. My Goddess of Smut. Chelsea Handler in all her politically incorrect glory.
SawHole had presented The Divine Ms M with an I LOVE CHUY t-shirt so we looked like total groupies, especially when I screamed out CHUY in the middle of her stand up. She was totally brilliant and inappropriate and gorgeous and rude. And I am not ashamed to say I may have wet my wants just a little. (damn you for not doing pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy Mrs Woog) Then it was over. I was exhausted from laughing and lack of sleep the night before. And perhaps a little pissed.
Anyway, Sawhole bunked down at the House of Woog. This morning Harry came to me and said, "Is Sawhole's name really Sawhole?" and I looked at him and said "Yes my love, why do you ask?"
"Did her Mum really give her that name?"
I was in too deep and could not be bothered to explain the name's origins so I just said that sometimes people have unusual names. Then Harry pointed out that he in fact had quite an unusual name himself.
A year ago, when I was doing his passport, I convinced Harry that his real name was Horatio Umberto Wooganowski. Because sometimes I get bored and try to make conversations with him that do not involve me asking him to find his school shoes. And he has run with it ever since. A fact that I love. I hear him tell people all the time that although he gets called Harry, his real name is Horatio Umberto Wooganowski. He says it with such conviction (because he believes it to be true) that most folk seem to accept it, especially his mates at school, who all seem to be called Fynn, Flynn or Finn.
Here is Horatio off to Crazy Hair Day.
And I suppose my question for you is, how much therapy do you think he will need when he is a teenager?

Leaders in the Senate and the House of Representatives are to expand a probe into the methods being taken by the Obama administration to prevent repeat offenses by undocumented criminal immigrants. Last week an undocumented immigrant who was a member of the MS-13 gang attacked a sheriff's deputy in Maryland and lawmakers want to know whether he benefited from the deferred action program created by President Obama.
The potential new scandal follows another request for information by Congressional leaders three months ago, back in August, after an undocumented immigrant in New Jersey was charged with murder. There have been a number of cases of violent crimes being committed by undocumented immigrants, the most high profile of which was the murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco.
Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform spokesperson Ira Mehlman says the cases are a demonstration of a much bigger problem. "Since the Kate Steinle murder, there has been a lot of discussion about sanctuary cities," Mehlman noted an interview with TheBlaze. "But the biggest sanctuary of all is the DHS prioritization process. If local police arrest and it's not a sufficient priority for the federal government, [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] tells them to turn him loose."
Next Tuesday specific questions will be asked about the case of the immigrant ‒ Jose Misael Reyes-Reyes, who was charged over the Maryland deputy assault ‒ by Robert Goodlatte, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Charles Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Mehlman says such immigrants are free due to a narrow definition of what constitutes serious crimes.

1.Characteristics of the Veronica
- Characteristics of the Veronica deduced from texts and copies (serenity, suffering, visible teeth, transparent veil, crown of thorns, green crown, triple veil)
- The development of these characteristics from 1204-1400
- Where did these characteristics come from? From texts to images, or images to texts?
- The Veronica and the history of textiles
- Vera icona et presentia realis; the Veronica and the Host
- The specificity of copies of the Veronica linked to their paths of diffusion (through the spreading of the order of Santo Spirito in Sassia, pilgrimages, the Franciscans)
- Veronica and new artistic media (woodcut, oil, engraving, etching)
- Studies of the first copies of the Veronica (e.g. in Matthew Paris, James le Palmer, etc.)
2. Differences and similarities between the images of Christ not made by human hands
This is perhaps the most well investigated area so far, but it remains fertile ground for a better understanding of the development of characteristics of the Veronica in iconographic terms, but also the geographical spread of its fame across Europe. Firstly, the birth and the evolution of the iconography of the Veronica, with particular reference to the unity and difference between the iconography of the Veronica and of the Holy Face. Relations between the liturgy, Mystery plays and the depiction of the Veronica merit attention. Another theme is the geographic spread of the Veronica linked to private ostensions and the Holy Years. The ambiguity of this iconography (the transfigured or suffering face) needs to be understood also in the identification of the Holy Face with the Feast of the Transfiguration in north-eastern Europe, for example, particularly in Poland, and the iconography of the Passion. Lastly, it would be interesting to study the fabrication and spread of devotional objects linked to the Veronica, conserved in museums and churches all around Europe.

WFTV is branching out to promote women in technical fields, says Natalie Samson
Although tech has traditionally been the most male-dominated part of the TV industry, an increasing number of women in technical roles are joining Women in Film and Television (WFTV). That is why this week we launched a Women in Tech Group to support, promote and shout about the women who work in the technical areas of our industry.
Having worked in live TV and as 3D producer on David Attenborough's The Penguin King feature documentary, the project is a particular passion for me. I want this new initiative to be a springboard for women in tech to network and keep ahead of the game on the latest technology.
Through the group, we aim to give women working in these areas the opportunity to meet each other, network, and find out about the latest kit and software. We'll also highlight the career achievements of successful women working in the tech fields. At the launch, we showcased women working in the camera, VFX and post-production areas of the industry.
Despite many years of marginalisation in technical areas, a new generation of women are becoming entrepreneurs and setting up their own businesses.
This week, we've been celebrating the success of Ilana Garrard. Not only is she one of a handful of female Steadicam operators in the UK, but she is also a founding member of Pod Hire, a company that offers a one-stop-shop crew van for the industry. That's quite an achievement for someone who left university only two years ago.
We will also be putting the spotlight on two amazing women who set up The Helicopter Girls, a company that hires and operates drones. This is a fairly new field, but we can all see the results on our screens and they're amazing.
Our organisation was set up by women to promote, support and celebrate the achievements of women in film and TV. Women are pushing into gaming, CGI and all sorts of technical areas. As ever, they're finding their own routes to success, and we want to celebrate them. We're open to women in every area of technology. Come and say hello.
Natalie Samson is WFTV's awards and events producer. For more details of how to join Women in Tech, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 020 7287 1400

Like waterfalls? Like photographing waterfalls?
Kevin Adams photographed his first waterfall in the mid-1980s and has been leading waterfall photo tours since the early 1990s. If he has learned anything along the way, it's that waterfalls are among the most popular photo subjects in the world. And the wild and wonderful waterfalls of western North Carolina attract more waterfall photographers than perhaps any area of similar size in the country.
Kevin has always enjoyed leading photo tours and giving programs on waterfall photography. But photo tours are limited to a few people and he can cover only so much material in a 60-minute program. He wondered if there was a way to reach out to a larger gathering of waterfall enthusiasts and provide comprehensive material. Thus, the Wicked Wild Waterfall Photography Weekend was born.
Regardless of your skill level or photographic experience, this event will energize and inspire you. Some people say that the negative ions produced by waterfalls create a feeling of euphoria, which is why we love waterfalls so much.
Kevin is the guy who wrote the bestselling North Carolina Waterfalls book. He knows waterfalls and waterfall photography, and he wants to share his passion with you.
The Wicked Wild Waterfall Photography Weekend will be held May 19-21, 2017 in Brevard, North Carolina. Join 200 other nature photographers in beautiful Brevard, Transylvania County's "Land of Waterfalls."

They can finish syncing and verifying metadata. Each time they finish syncing, the song count changes. I load about 15 albums this time with DSD, Flac and Wav formats. The problem is now they are playing different songs from different albums again. Not all but most of them… this is so frustrating.
If you're seeing the Verifying Metadata label on each sync, that means that the metadata verification is failing.
Since you're running a test build of Glider, I'm able to see some remote logs from your device that are telling me that the network requests are failing while attempting to download the metadata for those DSF files. This either means you're having network trouble or the Poly is unable to serve the files Glider is requesting due to some other reason.
is there anything i can do to verify and fix this problem Joe?
You may need to contact Chord support about your network troubles.
I found the issue. it's related to unstable home wifi network most likely. I turn poly into hotspot mode it seemed ok for a few days. Last night I added 2-3 albums and glider is playing another track from a different album again. I will try to delete the metafile and see if everything is ok.
A post was split to a new topic: Add a 'Rebuild Index' feature
At first, I thought it's my home WIFI having this issue, I change my settings and turn my poly into Hotspot, and use my mobile phone 4g network for internet. It worked as I was able to sync, verifying the Metadata. After testing for a few days and as I purchased more albums from HDtracks and put them into my microSD and load Glider, the same problem happened again. it cannot finish the metadata.
I understand if my home WIFI maybe unstable but the hotpot of poly and the 4G internet on my phone is very stable. I am not sure why am I still having this problem of playing the songs properly.
Most of the new albums loaded it were ok, then when I play the old existing albums, they start playing some other songs. I don't know what to do already…
Can you please try the following:
Hello, I am having a similar issue. In my case, the SD card has 2K untagged wav files organised in folders by artist > album. Each album folder contains the album cover jpg. In my case, I can browse through the folders and play the songs. The artists remain "unknown" as expected due to missing tags in the wav files. The album cover in the folder is overlooked, and in its place glider shows pictures of albums that have nothing to do with the actual music file. I am afraid that untagged wav files are a case which is managed badly by the system. Can this be the case?
What's likely happening here is that Glider is picking up at least one cover art for the group of all songs that have been placed in the 'Unknown Album', and is showing that album cover for all of your unknown songs. I'll look into fixing this.
But you can fix this on your end by simply adding the appropriate metadata to your WAV files. It's a common misconception that WAV files can't contain metadata, but this is not true. Most tag editors work just fine with WAV files, including Kid3: https://kid3.sourceforge.io/.
I have always preferred to avoid tagging wav files as some programs can fail managing them. As for the covers, why doesn't glider look for pictures in the working folder?
Glider doesn't typically have access to the file system, and relies on the metadata being sent over whichever protocol is in use. Can you tell me a little more about your setup?
I would recommend adding the metadata to your WAV files as I've yet to come across a situation where this would be problematic.
I have started using glider today, having bought a chord mojo + poly. I would like to use glider to play the sd card content. I have noticed a long time to index the sd card, which is another cons of the combination. A long indexing impacts card switching. The reason why I have wav without tags is that I normally use roon which fills the metadata gap.
Yes, this is very much a tradeoff. The upfront cost of syncing your metadata enables most of Glider's unique feature set including the ability to instantly search, sort and shuffle your entire library across multiple sources.
If you don't care about these features then you can simply browse by folder, which is done in real time and does not require a sync to be completed before hand.
In fact, browsing through folders is what I currently do to get the benefit of switching card quickly. A smart use of pictures in folder, and file and folder names would workaround missing tags, making feasible the use case of card switching without the penalty of unknown data displayed during playback.
Yes, but this feature would need to be requested of Chord to convert your filename and artwork information into the metadata sent to connected DLNA clients. Glider has no access to the filesystem, so it doesn't actually know what your file names are or that a cover.jpg file exists.
As an example, I've loaded up an untagged WAV file on the SD card of my Poly, and here is the entirety of information available to Glider about the file while browsing by folder:
<item id="64$0$0$0" parentID="64$0$0" restricted="1">
<dc:title>The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound Sessions - 01 The '59 Sound</dc:title>
<res size="33151484" duration="0:03:07.933" bitrate="1411200" sampleFrequency="44100"
nrAudioChannels="2" protocolInfo="http-get:*:audio/x-wav:*">
You can see there is no artist, album or artwork information. The file name has been used for the title, which does display properly in Glider along with the parent folder name:
Now I get you! What tagging software do you recommend on macOS? Is there a software that can automate the process?
I personally use Audirvana or Kid3 on my Mac. If you're looking for something automated, you can try MusicBrainz Picard (free): https://picard.musicbrainz.org/, and SongKong (not free): http://www.jthink.net/songkong/
I sometimes have the same problem. Redownloading the app helps…
I have experienced this but I also found a solution! It was working fine for me on my home network but refused to play DSD while in Hotspot mode. I eventually looked up 'chord.audio' and got the IP address 192.168.1.1. I added this manually to Glider as an MPD server. All of a sudden I can play my DSD through the entry labeled [MPD] but not the one labeled [uPnP]. The problem could maybe be one of DNS resolution when the WiFi can resolve the name but the Phone connection cannot.

Service of Grownup Books for Children
May 11th, 2015
Categories: Awards, Books, Children's Books
The grownup subjects for books written for even the youngest children is a trend I've observed since I first wrote about The Christopher Awards and its winning children's books in 2010. Forgiveness, hunger, ADHD, being an outcast orphan in Africa and dyslexia were topics for youngsters in pre-school, kindergarten and those aged six, eight and 10. These mature topics are moon miles from my beloved Ludwig Bemelmans' Madeline series or Dick, Jane and Spot. The Christophers honor these hardbacks for young people along with books for adults, films and TV/cable programs and present the awards to authors, illustrators, writers, producers and directors whose work "affirms the highest values of the human spirit."
Personal experiences inspired the authors to pick their topics whether Henry Winkler–the Fonz—who is dyslexic; Carmella Van Vleet whose daughter suffers from ADHD; Lois Brandt whose childhood friend's refrigerator was shockingly empty and Eric Walters who founded and runs the Creation of Hope, an organization to care for orphans in Kenya's Mbooni District. As for Nicole Lataif's subject–forgiveness–who hasn't struggled with this?
Are you surprised at the sophistication of these subjects for little ones? Do you think that topics covered in children's books reflect their era? If this is so, how come some last for generations? What books you read as a child–or to your children–made the biggest impression on you?
Preschool and up: I Forgive You (Pauline Books and Media) by Nicole Lataif, illustrated by Katy Betz ; Kindergarten and up Maddi's Fridge (Flashlight Press) by Lois Brandt, illustrated by Vin Vogel; Ages 6 and up Here's Hank: Bookmarks Are People Too! (Grosset & Dunlap/Penguin) by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver; Ages 8 and up Hope Springs (Tundra Books/Random House) by Eric Walters, illustrated by Eugenie Fernandes; Ages 10 and up Eliza Bing Is (Not) a Big, Fat Quitter (Holiday House) by CarmellaVan Vleet

I use a heck of allot of tools and utilities. I use tools for database access, process viewing, registry searching, debugging, error log parsing, mail connections and even four or five different types of FTP servers. I've even made a tool or two for you. I tend to prefer tools that are as cross-platform as possible and that generally stand the test of time. The better of them are ones that provide the kind of flexibility that they become something entirely new. Those are the tools that I'm interested in, and the ones I want to write about. Very few of the tools I use fit into the category of "That great tool" – one of them, though, is Total Commander.
New And Interesting Tools – #5 – Swiss Army Knife Edition
Back again with #5. First thing you should do though, follow my Google Shared Items – you'll find lots of cool and interesting articles. You'll be glad you did. I have in the past looked at tools like Wifi Stumbler, Ebeddit.in, Password Protection tools, and even a crop of Google-Related stuff. This has all lead us to today's stellar edition of tools and utilities that I like to call the Swiss Army Knife tools. These tools, you may not use all the time, but when you do use them – they are perfect for the task at hand.
New And Interesting Tools – #1
This could be an ongoing theme, I suspect. The sheer volume of tools and tools I see just scream out to be discovered by someone just like you. I come across so many, I've decided to start sharing some of them. I have found a bunch more that you should take a look at when you have a chance. I should also note – I tend to gravitate towards free tools – but if, for some reason a tool is not free – I will point that out and fill you in on pricing details.
3 Interesting Utilities – Share Monitor, JavaRa, and ScribeFire
Of the many utilities I come across (desktop/mobile/web-based), I rarely keep them or use them long enough to give them the credit due. One of the most important things you use (and probably don't know) are the software utilities that sit on your many personal computing devices. Let me highlight some of the best I've seen recently.
8 Essential Tools For The IT Guy
Often on this blog I write alot about tools or utilities – they are generally interesting applications or programs that I have tested that I thought you might find useful too. What every IT Guy tends to keep, however, is a cache of essential utilities that he/she use with them all the time. As you become more tuned to the kinds of utilities you use, you'll find ways to make them more available to yourself when you are at the client (at a moments notice).

In their YouTube series, Kids React, The Fine Brothers have enlisted the help of youngsters to illustrate how times are a changin' and controversial topics like racism are viewed through a new generation's lens.
It's hard to fathom that it's only been 47 years since our court system finally recognized interracial marriage. (Loving v Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967)) Before then, it was illegal to marry someone of a different race in certain states. That's cray-cray for sure! Now with the recent ruling striking down DOMA that older generation is forced to morph their divisive perception into acceptance.
Take a look at these spot-on reactions to the now famous Cheerios commercial, which features a multiracial family and sparked a nation-wide controversy over what a family should look like in America today.

My experiences with mental health have not been incredibly volatile. I struggle sometimes with insecurity, jealousy, ego, body issues, anxiety, sadness, and I have had feelings of absolute devastation in the past, but I have always come out strong, reinstated my beliefs in my principles, and reached out to resources I considered helpful- in most cases, my close friends. Lately, I have been struggling with the idea of mental health on campus because I am one of the few people who is currently taking a very stressful class for J Term. I was stressed a lot last semester as well, and it feels like with each day I spend in this system, my body is getting weaker and weaker. I cannot stay awake past a certain hour. I text my friend to come see me but when they arrive, I am too tired to hang out. I study and study because otherwise I will fail and I have never failed before and so can never allow myself to fail. I am easily irritated and sometimes condescending to my peers because I feel like the stress of being in this class and having all the additional responsibilities somehow makes me a more accomplished person than they are. None of this is true. None of this is what I truly believe. But I can blame my behavior on the stress and I do. Maybe it will be different in the Spring. Maybe some of the people in my life will get tired and leave. Maybe that's good. But for now, I feel stuck with the responsibilities I do have. The stress is here to stay.
