The chips are down
When it's not going for you - it's just not going for you and for Newcastle United the chips are well and truly down with eight games to go.
There were positives that came out of the Arsenal game but positives at the moment are no longer any good - unless they come in the shape of points.
The injuries to Steven Taylor and Sebastien Bassong could not be at a worse time for Newcastle, given the two players have been carrying the Mags in recent games.
Taylor has been sweating blood for the cause while Bassong has been head and shoulders above most of his team-mates.
One consolation is that Habib Beye is back and Newcastle will need all of his experience in coming weeks.
It's a mess and the chances of staying up are in the balance, amazingly a season that was once sold as Keegan taking the Mags back to Europe could now end up in the Championship under Joe Kinnear.
Dropping points is one thing but now the pressure is increasing to get THREE wins from Pompey, Fulham and Boro at a time when we don't know where the next win is coming from.
Even those trio of victories won't be enough and something is needed on the road.
With games at Stoke, Spurs, Liverpool and Aston Villa, it's hard to see where and when.

It's GAME OVER for us...
Such a good performance in 1st half and we didn't score tells the story of aur season.
I can not see us getting more than 35 points and they surely wont be enough to keep us up. We are going down thats a fact, whether we like it or not.
With Taylor and Bassong out i cant imagine our leaky defence will not crumble any more.
People's favourite Ryan Taylor (so called) qualites were there for all to see.Clichy was playing with him like a toy, he never once went passed him, always gave the ball away.Just because a player has always scored against us dosent make him good, and he is no more than a championship level player and thats's why he was bought beacuse, Ashley and co. knew that they will not put money in 1st team and we will go down.
Giving likes of Shola, Carroll new contacts and buy Taylor and Nolan does not seem like actions of a side who want to play in Europe, these clearly are the actions of a club that know they are going down.
There is going be a mass exodus of players Owen,Martins, Colo,Bassong,Jonas,Duff,Smith,Enrique,Beye all will leave and we will be languishing in the champoinship.
When Kev left there was a chance for Ashey to get rid of that slimy rat(Wise)and bring Shearer and set things right, but he doesn't give a damn about our club so he didnt and stuck on with those slimy weasels.
There is no one in the team except Steven Taylor , Bassong who are willing to fight for the club, no leadership no desire to win, rest all are mercenaries and will jump the ship.
Cant see us beating stoke and will get beaten by Spurs,Chelsea,Villa and can only see us winning only one against(pompey,Boro,Fulham) total points= 35, 40 points will be needed for survival and we are not getting them.
The begining of the end has started....
As much as i would love to see us play in premier league next season, i cant no longer fool myself. We all know but we don't want to believe it, but what has to happen will happen.
Farewell Premier League , Thanks Ashley and Wise its all beacause of you guys, may you rot in hell for your actions.
I thought that if toon got relegated then we would get rid of the london lot. Now we may have the nightmare of these cockneys taking the club down to the level of leeds.They do not appear to realize that they are not welcome any more or that they do not have the necessary ability to run a large football club.
Taylor has been sweating blood for the cause; he hasn't, however, always played well. Apart from the elbow, he was excellent in this game.
His namesake, however, had all his faults exposed. He shouldn't have even been in the starting lineup.
We should have sold Owen when we could have got some money for him. Why can't we play him for a full game if he's so good. Let's see if really can score.
if we can get a performance out of this players like the man u game,then we should fine, but dont kno why when we play the lower sides we play s***!. think we need to take risk's now until the end of the season and sitting owen on the bench was not the best idea!. cmon lads the toon can get out of this!!!!!!
Blackpool here we come, and no its not my holidays, its the fixture for next season, most of the points have been made, all true, Ashley is a complete idiot, he has gambled our club away on people, who just have achieved nothing. useless staff, who are not good enough, wise, cockney thug, being paid for what?, houghton and caulderwood, as much good as a dead rat, kinnear, overwhelmed and not up to the job, and us waiting for him to rescue us is laughable, we should of said goodbye joe, when he he went down, i said when we appointed him, this guy will be stretched out with a heart attack, not so wrong was i.
I agree, we are looking maybe at around the 35-38 point mark, will that be enough, maybe the boro and west brom, will have less, but will the others?, i doubt it, its a north east double, maybe we should start singing going down with the boro now
In football, as in business you make your own luck by making the right decisions.Since Ashley took over he has got every major decision WRONG,and now we are suffering the result of those wrong decisions.
If the money used to pay off the debts had been invested in the first team there would be plenty of time and opportunity in the future to earn the revenue to pay off the debts. Instead Ashley's investment will be next to worthless as we are relegated to the Championship and all our best playing assets leave.
I was watching the celebrity apprentice last night when our much loathed owner's name popped up. Jamie redknapps mrs was ringing her contacts to sell some tickets to, anyway, who was first on her list??? Only Mike ashley 'who owns Newcastle United' the voice over man said. Straight away he paid 100k for 3 tickets and she was all, ooohh he's lovely fella, very kind and generous! Aye pet maybe to you but he's been scrooges tight uncle to us. You did hear his voice as it was on speaker phone so that shatters any conspiracy he is a mute!
I no longer expect us to win or put in any performance, we always push the panic button and the team collapses. My optimism has been smothered by the useless clowns that 'run' our club.
To have 2 incompetent nobodies incharge of the 1st team when our PL status hangs by a thread is ridiculous. To make matters worse we are holding out until our death bed manager is rushed back early to be our saviour!!!
The players are just not good enough either and im sure most will be off come may. Duff...why does he continue to do dieing swan falls in the box??
You reap what you sew ashley, by not backing any manager with decent money and bringing in below standard players we are where we are. If we'd had brought in better players the players around them would've lifted their game like Ireland did at city when robinho rolled up.
We are in deep trouble and the current lot in charge seem reluctant to act to get us out of it.
Why oh why did he not even sub in Jonas?! I don't care if he didn't have his best game against Hull, he's loads better on the ball than Ryan Taylor!! The guy is a starting winger for the Argentinian national team for all things holy! How can you have the gajones to say he shouldn't play at all for a team that is deep in the relegation mire?!! Chris, wake up!
The toon are down more like. We've won 6 in 30 all season. Even getting to 38 points means we need to win 3 in 8. And the truth is, we're not good enough to stay up: poor players, poor management, poor coaching, poor fitness regime, weak leadership. From the matches I've seen this season, we deserve the drop.
Sadly I'm in agreement with most on here in saying that I'll now be genuinely surprised if we manage to stay up. I'm not a pessimist by nature like many, usually quite the contrary when it comes to Newcastle United, but I just can't see where our next win is coming from.
As for team selection, completely unbelievable why an attacking Argentina international didn't start the game. Playing Duff ahead of Jonas was bad enough, but playing both Duff AND Taylor ahead of him was simply a joke - a joke made even bigger by the fact that he didn't even come on as a sub. An absolute joke.
"Why oh why did he not even sub in Jonas?! I don't care if he didn't have his best game against Hull, he's loads better on the ball than Ryan Taylor!! The guy is a starting winger for the Argentinian national team for all things holy! How can you have the gajones to say he shouldn't play at all for a team that is deep in the relegation mire?!! Chris, wake up!"
Made all the more apparent by Taylor's abysmal and naive performance. Most of his dead ball deliveries were poor too.
I have a theory that Ashley wants us to go down and that's why he's left Hughton & Calderwood in charge coz he knows that they are not capable of motivating a spring hare. He has paid off all the debts so the only loss that is being made is directly due to players' wages. If we go down, as Mark says, all the rats will jump ship which leaves his & Squitty Wise's beloved academy, all of whom were recommended by Keagan (Bassong's comment). I have heard that the reserves are quite good and you add Shola (always a championship player) Butt (the father figure with one season left) Taylor and possibly Harper and we have a side able to compete in the championship and possibly even get back up again. All for nowt because he owns the stadium and has got rid of the high earners. Problem for him is: Neither JFK nor Hughton or Calderwood are capable are able to get us back up.........any takers? Remember that Llambias is a betting man so maybe he has worked out the odds and the cost, or lack of, in the championship for one season.
When things are meant to be wrong you really cant do anything it seems.. We play super for a large part, even Damien Duff seems excellent..and then we lose 3-1..!
Hughton and Calderwood will finally go where they deserve, sadly it seems Newcastle will accompany them to the Championship.. They are the most pathetic managers I have ever seen.. Gareth southgate is a more reliable man than them..
I think its all over now.. Whoever can save us from this mess will be a true "Messiah".. Else we have interesting battles with Derby, Watford, Coventry and Crystal Palace coming up next season.. Wowww!!! Im soo sooo excited..
hughton and calderwood make southgate seem like sir alex, mcclaren seem like another "special one"...
Is it not excruciating enough to be put through characterless performances and being openly lied to by those hijackers pulling the rudder off our ship, those at Thomson House the appointed mouthpiece of the captors, throwing out this type of guff?
Is it me? But IâÂÂm sick of the tawdry stories fumbled out by the NUFC press office with all the dexterity of a 13 year old with a bra. The vomit inducing stories are symptomatic of the feel good collateral that is left around the SJP.
Ryder is fast becoming Oliver incarnate. And if they had become critical of the management even at the point when Kinnear had gone under the knife, we would not be going down.
How did the 4th best financially supported team in the country be reduced to some rich idiots monopoly game? Is it his idea of revenge? How can he hope to recoup, even if we stay up? Staying up may not purge us of this moron. Because if handing contracts to the current first team management is his idea of positive action and a way forward, then he has not learned anything from his âÂÂmistakesâÂÂ. Not that we know what his âÂÂmistakesâ are of course.
Typical of the double speak Llambias was guilty of was the duplicity of culpability. IâÂÂve just heard Gazza on a 5 live phone in doing just the same. He became angry when questioned about his wife beating antics and preferred to deflect blame through âÂÂit being in the pastâ and âÂÂdid you see it happenâ gambits. Anyone who knows an alcoholic will recognise the pathological behaviour. Truth is you donâÂÂt know what youâÂÂre doing Derek. Not that your new chums at Thompson House would ask you to clarify your mistakes.
My response is. Good luck Mr. Llambias selling tickets for next season. Good luck selling any news story about the luckless Toon as they tumble through the championship, Mr Ryder.
Last one out switch off the lights.

nobody is doubting CH as a coach or JFK's commitment but put sentiment to one side we need a manager the players need a manager and MA needs a manager...
I have asked the same question several times on this site, why would any manager come to this club and work for Ashley????Would you??? Most players leaving in summer, and no money to spend on replacements.It is suicide to any career.
One thing most are agreed on is that Ashley's decisions defy common sense from a footballing perspective. No one in their right mind would entrust a club in a relegation battle to Hughton and Calderwood.
No one would watch his club lose game after game and draw nearer and nearer to relegation, without doing something. So Ashley must have an agenda, and no doubt it has to do with money. I'm afraid that's about as far as I can get.
There is only one more chance for us to survive relegation and possibly the end! In that I mean once we go down I dont think we will bounce straight back and may if suffer more before things improve.
So it is time for Ashley to make a big positive choice, thank Joe for his efforts but tell him his health is an issue, get Terry Venables in if he will accept and let him manage the team with CH and CC as the main coaches.
We might just get that bit of luck and make it, get him in now and he will have a bit of time with the squad before Chelsea come visiting!
I know some will say Terry aint the answer, but is it any worse than the current situation we are in????
I dont disagree with bringing TV in but why would he not come before? did MA tell him like KK his plan was to let us drop down a division for a yr or two. get the big names and big wages off the books then bring the young players through and hope they bring us up?? massive gamble if he has decided to do that.. although if he still thinks he'd get 40k+ in the seats he might take the risk!? its the only way he'd make a quick proffit. although does he really need the money..? hmmm a lot of questions are being thrown up now. its hard to work out what the hell MA is doing..!?
if what i have suggested is about 10miles off then i still think this is a good club for someone to come in and sort out.. we're in a similar position when KK took over although with a few more games to help beat the drop.. lets shake JFK's hand and say cheers mate but we have to save this club right now not in a months time!!
Here is a list of recent Newcastle midfielders: (apologies if i`v missed anyone of note out)
Speed, Robert, Solano, Dyer, Jenas, Viana, Parker, Sibierski, Emre, Milner, N`zogbia, Butt, Duff, Luque, Gutierrez, Geremi, Nolan, Lovenkrands, Barton, Guthrie, Gonzalez.
What I want to know is how we ended up selling all the ones in that list you would want to keep and now not only is our midfield crap, they are also complete strangers to each other! Butt was deemed surplus to requirements a few years ago when he wasn`t as past it as he is now. Signing Barton was, and continues to be a complete disaster - what slim chance we had of signing decent players is made even less so by his being here. Besides drag our clubs name through the mud he has done nothing. Geremi is too slow, Duff is too injury prone. To make matters worse these players get 60k a week(!), and they spend half the season (if not more) injured or just on the bench because they are not good enough to get into our poor team. I really hope Nolan and Guthrie prove to be more durable than the above mentioned even if they do not have as much skill. They might yet prove to be very good signings, but i wont hold my breath. Barton is the most annoying because he is half-decent; but he has played very few games not because he`s injured but because he is an idiot.
Next season, whether we stay up or not we cannot afford to leave our midfield problems unaddressed. Whoever is in charge of transfers would do well to get rid of the passengers and spend a bit of money on hungry players that will be involved.
You've missed out Alan Oliver's Mr Versatility, Alan Smith. Or is he a striker. Nope. Not one of those either...
get off smithys back tad hes giving it his all hes been a great signing and is newcastle through and through
can I be the next manager? At least I enjoy beer and pies. And I know that there is absolutely no reason to leave guys like jonas on the bench, when we are dying week in week out on the pitch. Oh yeah, and I would also be at least partly interested in staying in the top division!!!!!
"get off smithys back tad hes giving it his all hes been a great signing and is newcastle through and through"
I appreciate the irony.
If we go down this season it will be a result of Mike Ashley gambling with the fortunes on the club. He gambled on Keegan not being in ful control. He gambled by not stregthening in January. He gambled by not bringing in cover for Joe Kinnear. Now he's got only eight games left to gamble on the future of his club. Doesnt he realise relegation wil cost him (yes his own pocket) millions! Mike Ashley is another billionaire who wanted to buy a football club. He wanted a new toy. Well now he's broken his toy and we have to pick up the peices.
National and local media have all day been carrying the Whelan attack on Ashley for trashing our club, yet I couldn't find a mention of it in my Chron. Perhaps I missed it,or it was in later edition,there again maybe the decision was taken to surpress.
i think alan oliver knew what was coming, like the rest of us, and decided enough was enough, we all knew once keegan officially left, we would be fighting a relegation battle, which is looking doomed.
I like the rest of the posters, just cannot get it straight in my head, here we have a man who has put in 250million into a club, but is willing to sit back and watch it, get relegated, even smile and laugh at the end of the arsenal game, what the f**k is going on?
Come on these to muppets couldn't fight there way out of a paper bag, and joe kinnear, come on, the guy is one step away from dropping dead, if he thinks he has experienced pressure, it's nothing to what its going to be like from now.
What is laughable is they go on about building like Arsenal did, erm right, but they had a good first team, when they did it, and an experienced guy in charge, who hadn't a triple bypass.
Also is Lee on holiday? its your blog man, you post no comments, or get to involved, why didn't the chronicle push for answers, and find out, what the hell ashley is doing?
Newcastle must appoint a new manager to lift the players for the remaining eight games. Hopefully, the honeymoon period will do the trick with three or four wins. I propose that Mike Ashley drafts in Roberto DiMateo, he has done a brilliant job at MK Dons and was a class italian player who knows how to play good football. Being an italian he also knows how defences are organised.
Could i suggest a song before and after the match--'ONE WHEEL ON OUR WAGON AND WE STILL KEEP ROLLING ALONG.' We can use the same wagon to take these cockneys to the Tyne and through them in.
Roberto DiMateo? is that a joke, just another paul ince, just because he has got mk dons up near the top of league 1, doesn't make him a candidate to manage Newcastle, and a friend of wise, no thank you, rather get roy keane

The much-hyped collaboration between Jay-Z and Kanye West disappointed a lot of people last year, but who could fault their great tribute to Otis Redding, one of my favorites?
It is great to hear two rappers who are so distinctive in their styles that you can tell who they are immediately. The same thing goes for Mr. Redding.
Why not post an Otis classic? I think the first time I heard this song was when they played it during a sex scene in the Patrick Swayze film "Roadhouse." Embarrassing.
I can't post the sex scene, go here's a great scene:

New Drugs in the Workplace Seminar Offered to Corporate Executives
Veteran LAPD Lieutenant in narcotics division to discuss identifying drug problems in the workplace
Threat Management and Protection, Inc. (TMAP – www.threatprotect.com), a provider of corporate security and investigative services headquartered in California, has released a comprehensive seminar to train corporate supervisors and managers to identify employees under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and teaches exactly what steps should be taken to effectively and safely deal with these situations. The seminar, titled Drugs in the Workplace, is being presented by veteran Los Angeles Police Department Lieutenant, Lita Abella, experienced in undercover narcotics activities and extensively trained in the use, possession and sale of narcotics. The seminar is considered to be the most comprehensive of its kind ever offered.
Employees on drugs have been proven to reduce workplace productivity; heighten quality control issues; create potential risks for security, safety and medical problems; they also increase the number of disciplinary issues and potential confrontations with co-workers, and supervisory and management personnel. In a recent study by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce it was found that 75% of employees admitted to using drugs on the job; 65% stated that the drugs affected their job performance; 44% said they sold drugs on the job; and 18% stole from their co-workers to support their drug habit. The number one drug problem in the workplace is alcohol. Other drugs being used on the job include marijuana, cocaine, club drugs like MDMA (Ecstasy), PCP, anti-depressants such as Ritalin, and methamphetamine – the fastest growing, and possibly the most destructive, drug of choice amongst U.S. workers.
This drug use is taking its toll on corporations. The typical drug-abusing worker is late 300% more often, is involved in 3.6 more accidents on the job, and requests early dismissal 220% more often than non-drug using employees. One of the most serious effects is the matter of violence, such has been frequently displayed with users of the anti-psychotic Ritalin, and with high dose methamphetamine users, both are prone to induce erratic and violent behavior. According to the U.S. Justice Department's National Crime Victimization Survey, every year in the U.S. 1.7 million violent victimizations occur to employees, by employees in the workplace. And 95% of them are simple assaults and aggravated assaults – victimizations where the employee has used a weapon of some type to threaten or harm another. Workplace violence is now recognized as a specific category of violent crime, one that has particular measures of handling and prevention by law enforcement and employees. As workplace drug use is increasing, so is the incidence of workplace violent crime.
As international consultants to corporations on security and threat management issues, TMAP launched the Drugs in the Workplace seminar to counteract the negative influence that drugged employees have on their corporate clients. The seminar effectively educates and trains executives to understand specifically how each drug type influences their workers, how to spot these drug influences in their employees, and how to handle them accordingly with the least disruption to the corporation, co-workers and the drug-induced employee.

So, some of you probably heard about what happened yesterday, and some of you were probably too busy to notice.
But basically I just wanted to tell you all what happened from my side, because you only know one, and that belongs to Jess (aka Haerrys).
note: I will most definitely get hate for this. But let me tell you all, you're harsh words will mean nothing to me. Because I need to say what I'm about to say.
You all know Haerrys right? How basically everywhere she goes, people will always love her, adore her, defend her against hate… why is this you ask? Alas, it's probably a question that will never be answered, but my main guess would be because she manipulates you. Our reactions to her are implosive, I've been under her spell before, and it's just that she's popular, right? We want her to like us, respect us, to become her equal. But that'll never happen. We can never get there. Because she wouldn't want that. She needs her followers (both figuratively and literally) to keep her alive, desperate for attention, always needing to be loved and adored. Without them her voice is just one in a million. But with them, her voice is then projected out of others, repeating what she says and following orders. That's why you can never win against her.
So you're probably thinking "why are you writing all of this? Are you obsessed with her? Are you jealous of her? It's because you're a coward, isn't it?" and to answer all of your questions; no.
I'm sick and tired of everyone always sticking up for her like mindless zombies, everyone too afraid to speak with their own voices, to fight back, to finally express what it is they're feeling, to give her their honest opinions… and it's all because of fear.
So, to get to the main point of why this all came to be…
Someone used my theme, and then Jess, being the lovely friend she is to that person gave her a blog makeover, changing a few things. Now here's where I'm the bad guy, basically.
I see this blog makeover on my theme, I instantly like it, so I go to change it on my original theme, but here's the part that no one seemed to understand:
I only changed the description. I was claimed to have "stolen" much more coding, but I had already fixed up my themes days previous because I thought they needed a touch up. And also, I don't even know how to steal coding that's on someone else's blog, unless of course I suddenly had magical powers that helped me see through the technology that is the internet. I used my OWN coding, coding that I did 5 weeks ago when I made this blog.
Did you hear that Jess? My OWN CODING. Not yours, because how could I?
But I'm admitting right now: yes I copied your design. I can be brave enough to admit that, but, you were right I guess about all of this, and for that, I can say I'm sorry to you.
But the sad thing is, I am an incredibly understanding person, and get this, if you had just messaged me privately, saying something like "Hey Lori, do you think you can add credit to that theme of yours?" and I would have gladly said yes. I would've done it instantly if that was what you wanted, but it honestly slipped my mind before all of this mess happened.
And you know the most fucked up bit of all?
How one day previous, another blog (who's url I won't say) stole one of my WHOLE themes, every last bit of coding, and what did I do?
I messaged her. I told her I could forgive her, that I could help her to make her own themes, that if she removed the post from her blog I could forget this ever happened and we could all move on with our lives, because this is just tumblr for christ's sake.
And she did all of those things for me, and I forgave her. Simple as that.
I didn't send her hate, which you did to me.
I didn't call her pathetic or a bitch and tell her to leave tumblr, which you did to me.
I didn't make a post, drawing the attention of my followers to spread the word that she's a theme stealer, I didn't command all of my friends to send her hate, I wasn't so desperate that I needed the voices of others to make a human being feel like complete crap.
But. You. Did. All. Of. Those. Things. To. Me. And much more.
And that's why I believe I'm a much better person than you. And always will be.
You will always be dependent on others to protect you, to do your dirty work. You will always be quick to pass judgment on someone without knowing the whole story.
And for all of this, I will always feel sorry for you.
Now, I'm not sure if anyone has ever had the courage to stand up to you, to say how they really feel, but if I'm the first, then I have one thing to say to you:
I have a voice Jess.
may god bless you x
Wow this was really brave Lori..I'm proud of you and I love you so much

Re: Masha's worst year
2010 had some very tough losses/chokes against Henin, the servebot and Clijsters. She should've won those three matches (well, at least taken 1st set off the servebot in Wimbledon) and she knows it; those losses took a huge mental toll on Maria towards the end of the year. She unfortunately ran into Peak Wozniacki at the USO but if it weren't for her record-low confidence levels she would've easily gotten through an inspired Woz. No comments on the Asian swing and the beginning of 2011.
I still love Maria and do believe she has a couple of slams in her but her game was completely retooled. It is indeed a joy to watch on grass but she parted ways with Joyce because she just can't be as aggressive as she used to be pre-surgery; it puts too much strain on her shoulder, no matter how much it has recovered.
Nevertheless, I think she's slowly and steadily drifting more and more towards her all-out aggressive mode, particularly on the forehand. It was indeed the shot which won her RG this year, but it breaks down too much on the other surfaces (even though it looked better than ever at AO until that final
So yeah, in a way, it's a tie between 2011 and 2009 for worst years. Sorry for including 2011, but Maria was atrocious in Australia, IW, Miami, Wimbledon, Toronto, and ESPECIALLY at the USO. She was mediocre in RG and the only highlight of that year was Rome. This year has been wonderful, and she really should've bagged both the AO and Miami, but that's a whole different discussion.

Pro-tec IPS Knee Pads
Great but sizing is off
Buy a size larger than what you think you should get. Being 5' 2" with small legs, the S sized knee-guards literally cut the blood circulation to my feet and nearly tore into my skin. I exchanged for M and it's now fine. Overall great quality and my knees were well-protected!

2014 midterm elections
200 people at a major "Tea Party" rally in Washington? My, how this fad has fallen off a cliff. And don;t blame the "poor weather." 100,000 citizens of Wisconsin come out to stand up for their rights in a blinding snowstorm…
Most of us have jobs or other responsibilities that prevent us from going out to demonstrate all the time. However, rest assured that those of us that agree with the Tea Party will be out in force when it counts – at the ballot box. If the Left think this movement is fading, all the better – their complacency is to our benefit.
the approval ratings tell the real story of how the American people are feeling these days…..
The Tea Party will fade faster than the sun over Key West.
Ok Pelosi
That wasn't 100K of WI residents, the union bussed them in from everywhere!
I wouldn't expect too many people to show up on such short notice and in the middle of the week. But I can assure you,the Tea Party will always be available to vote on the day of the Primary and General elections to show up in extreme numbers in order to send the Marxist/Leninist Socialist Democrats in Washington packin' !!!
Middle of the week, in March with little to no notice, of course the number was low. That said I agree cut it or shut it!
Bachmann is such a ridiculous airhead. Please let her get the nomination next year.
Not even members of the tea party movement say they want to shut down the federal government.
How would we get our retirement checks? We're reasonable people, duh. We just need to shutdown the government that the socialists use.
Michele Bachmann is one of the very few Republicans that gets it. She recognizes that we are running out of time to get spending under control. I think she'd make a fantastic president!
@Tea baggin' ain't easy
You ignorant left-wing dolt. Nice try at the fear mongering, but anyone paying even a little bit of attention knows that no government checks will stop if there is a shut down. Your welfare baby-mamas will still their checks. Your invalid sister will still get her SSDI, and your short-sighted daddy will still get his social security.
@ whosiwhatzit 5:09 pm -
"People have to draw the conclusion that they can definitely see her as President of the United States," says Bob Vander Plaats, a kingmaker in the Iowa GOP. "She will not be the nominee," predicted one strategist with a rival campaign. "Maybe a nice diversion for a while."
no government checks will stop if there is a shut down.
Thank god. I couldn't live without my Medicare part D
How far the US has fallen to let someone as inept as Bachmann be the "voice of reason", she'd be a radical back in Reagan's day and probably unelectable. There was once a time in the country where people actually had an understanding of economic policy, good governance, and sensible leadership. Now people celebrate the loudest and most visible.
Untill Congress seriously considers cuts in defense and welfare programs, or better yet, figures out how to remove administrative inefficiencies in deploying these services to improve impact.
Yet what we have right now is the blowback of years of under investment in our education system.
@ Rick 5:18 pm -
Do Exxon and Chevron get to keep their "incentives?"
By the way, Rick, there are approximately 6 applicants for every available job. The difference between tea baggers and non-tea baggers is that tea baggers consider the unemployed to be low-life, leeching, sponging, lazy, blood-sucking, useless parasites.
And non-tea baggers don't.
*Untill Congress seriously considers cuts in defense and welfare programs, or better yet, figures out how to remove administrative inefficiencies in deploying these services to improve impact, we will continue to see this nonsensical budget battle continue, which acts as a front for policy restructurings on issues which have nothing to do with the national debt or deficit – abortion/Planned Parenthood being one of them.
200 teabaggers show up and the WSJ covers the event. The Wall Street Journal = FoxNews.
Less than 200. That includes the media. Headline should read "Tea Partiers FAIL TO Rally on Capitol Hill". What crazy DESPERATE bias in reporting. Losers… WSFoxNotNews
What a waste of money!! Why do you come out to cover such a pathetic turn out of unenlightened people when thousands of people were en-masse to protest the criminal koch brothers.
We should call those "patriots" tea beggars. We socialists made the tea bags right to retirement checks a reality.
I used to subscribe to this "not fit for bathroom tissue" rag. Now I subscribe to the Financial Times.
This makes great sense to anyone
Thank god some bloggers can write. Thanks for this blog…
This definitely makes great sense..

Hard Not To Like Grupo Televisa
- Grupo Televisa's credit is rated investment-grade by the agencies (Baa1/BBB+).
- The firm posts a Valuentum Buying Index score of 6, reflecting our "fairly valued" DCF assessment of the firm, its unattractive relative valuation versus peers, and bullish technicals.
- A 6 is not the best score a firm can receive, however. We have a number of firms that register a 9 or 10 on the index.

-Sqoop & Accumulo
Anyone know if there has been progress made since Philip Grim worked on
this? Or if anyone else has done Sqoop integration on Accumulo?
My folks may be interested in working on this for a project that came up,
so just wondering.
Just noting:
I see this ticket open https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-141
But after doing the Flume sink, it seemed like consensus was that we should
be trying to get these committed to the other projects, not Accumulo.

CARSON, Calif. -- Scoreboard watching has become a regular occurrence with the LA Galaxy as they look to move up the table in the Western Conference, but on Thursday, their focus will be on the CONCACAF Champions League.
If the Puerto Rico Islanders defeat Salvadoran club Isidro Metapán (5pm/Univision Deportes Network), then the Galaxy will secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the CCL for the second consecutive season. An Islanders victory would prevent Metapán--who are currently at three points, four behind LA's seven-- from tying the Galaxy for the top spot in Group 5 even if Metapán were to defeat LA in their final CCL match on October 25 in El Salvador.
A victory would help the Galaxy in CCL, but also in MLS play as the trip to El Salvador is sandwiched in-between LA's final two games of the season--a road fixture against San Jose Earthquakes on Oct. 21 and the season finale at The Home Depot Center against the Seattle Sounders on Oct. 28.
Following LA's training session on Thursday, Marcelo Sarvas and Sean Franklin admitted that they're throwing their full support behind Puerto Rico...
SARVAS: "It's good. One of our targets is to qualify for the next stage in CONCACAF, if Puerto Rico can help us today then it'll be good and we can be focused more on our MLS games. Of course, you save travel and game time so it can help us."
FRANKLIN: "It'd be nice to get a little help from Puerto Rico, but at the end of the day, if we got to go down there and handle business then we got to do what we got to do. If we clinch today or we don't clinch and we have to go down and get a win in El Salvador, the team is prepared for that."
In an interview with Joe Tutino, the LA Galaxy's Swedish winger Christian Wilhelmsson discusses his new life in LA.
During his interview, Wilhelmsson touched upon his adaptation to Southern California and admitted that he is still on the radar for Sweden's national team heading into the next round of World Cup qualifiers.
Check out the video below...
The LA Galaxy can clinch a berth in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League on Thursday without even playing a minute.
Later this evening, the Puerto Rico Islanders host Isidro Metapán at Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium in Bayamón, Puerto Rico (5pm PDT/CONCACAF.com) and if the NASL side can defeat the Salvadorans, the Galaxy will clinch Group 5. However, if Metapán can earn either a draw or a victory in Puerto Rico then it would set up a decisive match between Metapán and the Galaxy in El Salvador on October 25.
Currently, the Galaxy are in the lead in group 5 with seven points in three games, Metapán has tallied three points in two games while Puerto Rico rounds out the group with one point in three games.
I posted my look back at last Saturday's LA Galaxy Alumni game earlier in the day and now LAGalaxy.com has provided us with a video highlights package of the evening.
Check it out below.
After missing the LA Galaxy's last four matches with a left ankle sprain, David Beckham is hopeful that he'll be able to return to the field in this Sunday's match against the Colorado Rapids.
In a phone interview with MLSsoccer.com's Scott French on Wednesday, Beckham told French that he believes his condition is improving and may allow him to participate on Sunday.
"It's better," Beckham told MLSsoccer.com of his injury. "Still a little bit of discomfort, but it's good to be back on the field. [I was out] three weeks in the end. I wasn't expecting that, but I'm back now."I hope [I can play in Colorado]. I hope so. Trying to get my fitness back – I was working on fitness while I was injured, but nothing, obviously, like playing games and being in training. Hopefully, I can get out on the field and stay fit this week and be involved [against the Rapids]."
Beckham's injury first surfaced during LA's 2-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Sept. 1. The sprain prevented Beckham from participating in practice for three weeks, but the 37-year-old English midfielder made his return to the Galaxy training ground on Tuesday.
"This injury came at a tough time for me. I was enjoying playing, scoring goals, and that was a disappointing moment. But I'm back and hopefully I can get my fitness back and be back out there," Beckham added.
Below is a video from LAGalaxy.com on Beckham's first training session on Tuesday morning.
As part of his "Between the Lines" segment, MLSsoccer.com's "Armchair Analyst" Matt Doyle breaks down Robbie Keane's goal against the Colorado Rapids on September 14.
Doyle's analysis of Keane's goal is part of his three part video breakdown on the importance of possession, titled "For love of the Long Build."
The video is below and Doyle's analysis of Keane's goal begins at the 1:46 mark...
Omar Gonzalez believes that he is still not playing at his best. And that should cause serious worry throughout MLS.
In ten league appearances this season, the Galaxy have conceded just eight goals when Gonzalez has been on the field, notching five shutouts. Although the Galaxy's defense has improved, the centerback admits that he is still returning to full fitness.
Below Gonzalez discusses his confidence as of late as well as his inclusion by some among the front runners for MLS MVP…
GONZALEZ: "With me personally, my confidence is still not perfect and that's understandable, but there are some plays where I might not be at my best, like the one that I whiffed and Marcelo had to save and plays like that so if I can just minimize those mistakes then I'll be on the right way. As a group, last game, we had a few miscommunications like the throw in that led to the goal, but we still got the win so it was good that we had those mistakes and got the win as opposed to the mistakes costing us the game."
(On being considered an MVP candidate…)
GONZALEZ: "That's really flattering because there are a ton of guys that are doing great. If my name is being tossed out there then great, but I'm not really focused on that. My focus is on winning another championship, first and foremost."
CARSON, Calif. -- When Toronto FC midfielder Terry Dunfield scored in the 38th minute of the LA Galaxy's 4-2 victory over TFC on Monday, Dunfield snapped LA's five game shutout streak.
Prior to TFC's goal, the Galaxy's shutout streak stood at 491 minutes spread across five matches in all competitions. The league mark was slightly smaller, spanning three games and 381 minutes.
Although LA lost their shutout streak, defender A.J. DeLaGarza said that it was of little concern to the back four as long as they continue to earn victories.
DELAGARZA: "I don't even think we even think about it, we just go out there and play. We're not worried about getting a shutout for seven games in a row; we're just trying to win games. If we get a shutout, it's a bonus for our fans that love chicken and for us. We're able to get the win and that's what matters."
In my training notebook from Tuesday, I discuss the snapped shutout streak, David Beckham's return to the practice field and LA's travel plans for Colorado.
Last Saturday, the LA Galaxy's future met the club's past in an Alumni match.
The match was a part of the festivities honoring the 2002 MLS Cup winning side that was inducted into The Home Depot Center Wall of Legends. In the match, the Academy side composed of Under-16 and Under-18 players defeated the Alumni by the score of 2-1 with Jack McBean and Cobi Jones being among the scorers.
Following the match, I caught up with Galaxy Vice President Chris Klein, Galaxy U-18 player Oscar Sorto and former LA midfielder Dema Kovalenko.
Below are their thoughts...
KLEIN: "It was fun. We want the future of the Galaxy to beat the past. It was great, it was really amazing to see all these guys back here on the same field and talking to each other again. We all have something pretty cool in common that we played for the best club in Major League Soccer so they all feel it so it was nice to get out here and play. The whole idea is that we're trying to tie the young guys into the organization and we're trying to bring the old guys back to be a part of our organization so it works well."
(On playing against his childhood hero, Mauricio Cienfuegos...)
SORTO: "It was a dream come true. I never thought that I would be playing against him and going hard against him. I was so happy to be playing against him. He's a big role model to all Salvadorans so it was a great experience."
(On returning to the Galaxy...)
KOVALENKO: "It was nice to be back and being around the stadium brings so many memories back. It's been only a year and a half, but it seems like yesterday that I was playing for the Galaxy. It's nice to be back, but I'm humbled. I'm still in soccer coaching kids, but it nice to be back and see everyone as well as all the guys that played that used to be on the team. It's really good."
Two LA Galaxy youth players were named to United States Under-17's 20-player squad for the upcoming AGS Cup in Alicante, Spain
LA Galaxy Under-18's defender Jorge Miranda and midfielder Rolando Muñoz were called into the squad by U-17 head coach Richie Williams. The U.S. is in Group B for the AGS Cup and will face off against Azerbaijan on September 29, Georgia on Sept. 30 and the United Arab Emirates on October 1. Should the Americans advance, the U.S. will play in a playoff match against an opponent from Group A, which consists of Mexico, Canada, Morocco and Russia. The Americans would then finish the tournament with a placement match on Oct. 6.

Story | Sep 11, 2013 | 6:30 PM
If the point of prison is to reform, then the experience hasn't done Dom Hemingway much good. Judging by Jude Law's opening monologue -- a long, colorful ode to his macho character's manhood, delivered under highly ironic circumstances -- the hot-headed...

The Social Europe guide is a bi-annual publication aimed at providing an interested but not necessarily specialised audience with a concise overview of specific areas of EU policy in the field of employment, social affairs and inclusion. It illustrates the key issues and challenges, explains policy actions and instruments at EU level and provides examples of best practices from EU Member States.
Volume 8 looks at EU employment policy, underpinned by the European Employment Strategy. It highlights major initiatives to tackle the disruptive effects of the economic crisis, notably the Europe 2020 Strategy and the European Semester. The guide also covers new initiatives to tackle EU unemployment or social disparities, such as the Employment Package, Youth Employment Package, and the scoreboard of key employment and social indicators. There is also a focus on promoting labour mobility, enhancing dialogue with social partners, and plans to complete Europe's monetary union by introducing a common fiscal capacity.
The guide will be available in printed and electronic format in English, French and German.

Hiring subsidies are an important measure, extensively used by Member States, to promote employment in disadvantaged-worker categories such as young and older people, the long-term unemployed and women. This review maps out the design of such subsidies, and identifies good and effective practices in targeting, funding, monitoring and integrating incentives with other policies. It is intended as a source of mutual learning and transfer of good practices between Member States.

This year's ESDE report offers an in-depth and wide-ranging review of key labour market and social challenges facing the EU as it slowly emerges from recession. Where will Europe's new jobs come from in an increasingly competitive global economy? Will active inclusion policies support help address rising levels of poverty among those of working age? Will the improvement in the position of women on the labour market during the crisis be sustained or slip away with the recovery? Is the divisive issue of undeclared work being effectively addressed? Will all Member States progress equally, or do the weakest risk falling further behind? Have national social security systems been effective and efficient in maintaining incomes during the recession and in addressing their longer-term goals? Do we need to adapt the ways we measure economic and social progress in order to take proper account of inequalities? The report will be available in printed and electronic format in English. All the graphs and tables can be downloaded both in gif and excel format by accessing the individual chapters.

This paper considers the impact of social entrepreneurship in European communities, finding that working with such enterprises and helping them develop can result in widespread gains for public budgets. Starting and running such a business can pose a number of problems though, as it must not only overcome entrepreneurial challenges, but also those that arise from the social dimension. The report concludes that promoting policies that create a favourable environment for such entrepreneurs, is crucial for them to fulfil their potential. This brochure is available online in English, German and French.

DG Employment builds on the first Employment and Social Developments in Europe (ESDE) Review in this second edition, by conducting an analysis of the economic and social situation in the EU. Following a year which has seen several Member States witnessing escalating debt crises, public spending is decreasing. With different parts of the EU seeing different social and employment trends, finding the right policy responses in certain key areas is crucial. Long-term employment exclusion, its impact on the labour market and the broader social dimension, is considered in this context. The functioning and efficiency of various social protection systems is also examined, with a particular focus on the effect of distributional and design aspects. Finally, the Review looks at the impact of wage developments and the problem of skill mismatches as well, concluding a fair and equitable structural adjustment agenda is needed.

As the population in the EU continues to age, counteracting the resulting demographic forces is becoming increasingly important. Helping these people remain economically active has the potential to have important economic and social benefits, not only for the target group, but for society on the whole. The European Commission and OECD have joined forces to produce a brochure, which emphasises the importance of a shift in entrepreneurship policy within this demographic, to encourage it to become more active. In this context, it examines a range of different initiatives and schemes that could be implemented to promote business start-ups by older people.This brochure will be available online in English, German and French.

The economic, financial and sovereign debt crises and subsequent austerity measures underline the need for a more integrated approach to employment and social policy. This review merges two previous European Commission reports on these areas. It begins with an overview of the current European employment and social situation before looking at recent shifts in Europe's job structure and in income inequality. The review then examines patterns of poverty and social exclusion in Europe and the phenomenon of in-work poverty. Issues of active ageing, intra-EU labour mobility and the impact of enlargement are also covered. The review is available in English only.

How To Go on Vacation
The etymology of Vacation hints at its true purpose: The Latin vacare literally means "empty." Alas, that is a highly unnatural state for an entrepreneur's brain. So how can you experience the psychic and restorative benefits of vacation while remaining true to your nature? We asked Randy Warren and Michael Gross, co-CEOs of Global Travel International, a travel agency in Maitland, Fla., with $14 million in sales, for advice. Warren had just returned from a vacation when we spoke. Gross was packing for one."If you've done your job as a CEO, the company shouldn't need you every day," said Warren. His last time out of the office, he was proud to say, he had been rafting and hiking for six days before calling in.
"He's a sneaky devil," Gross interjected. "He goes on the company network and checks the financials."
"I don't like to have surprises when I walk back into the office," Warren said defensively. "But if I see hiccups, I've learned to wait to address them." In other words, he keeps up but he stops short of problem-solving while on vacation.
The winning formula: Keep mind and body engaged with stimulating new pursuits that take you far away from the world of work (try mountain biking, Gross says, which forces you to focus on staying alive). But give yourself permission to think about your company once in a while. "I don't think you can ever quite turn off work," says Warren. "But you have to learn how to compartmentalize it and move it over to the side. You want to be able to access it -- just in case you come up with a great idea."

So what would I change if I could?
I did change a couple of things. My skin is sensitive and very pale, which means I used to get wicked razorburn. I tried every kind of shaving cream on the market. Straight razors, disposable bics, and high tech five blade gizmos meant for men's faces. Hot water, cold water, and room temperature water. I also tried diaper rash ointment, aftershave, exfoliating with pastes ranging from expensive scrubs to olive oil and coffee grounds. Basically, I threw everything in Duane Reade at it and nothing helped much. Finally, I had lazer hair removal done. I (hopefully) permanently killed the majority of hair follicles on my legs and over half of my bikini area/vulva. I'm really happy with it, although if I get a yearning for 70s style mega bush I'm going to be stuck looking for merkins.
My eyebrows have been subjected to overzealous tweezing, partially my own fault as a teenager and partially by makeup artists. I'd love to have that 1/8th inch at the inner corners back, and you wouldn't believe the amount of weird potions from Sephora I've purchased in an attempt to regrow them. The weird potions in question are kind of like rogaine for your eyebrows, and none of it works. I did consider putting actual rogaine on my face, but then someone informed me that this is what eyebrow pencils are for.
The inside though - if I had the ability to want changes made to the inside of my body and have it happen, I'd have a to-do list a mile long. I'd want nerves that will never get pinched again, I'd want to fix whatever it is that makes migraines happen. I would want joints that don't snap-crackle-pop every morning and sometimes in the middle of the day because I've put forty or fifty years worth of strain in them in my twenty-six years of life. Then I would start asking for superpowers like flight and telepathy… teleportation… and a pony… with sparkly hooves. We've gotten way off topic here.
I would not change my breasts. Digital Playground offered me breast augmentation surgery when I first started working with them, and I declined. They offered again a couple of months later, I declined a second time, and I haven't heard a word from them about it since. I wouldn't change anything about the appearance of my vulva, either. At the last appearance I did, someone brought me a photo to sign. It was a production still from Nurses, and something didn't look right. Here's a closeup:
Yep. My inner labia are missing. My clitoral hood has disappeared as well. I think they might have actually just put someone else's vulva on me. I was pretty grumpy about it, am still kind of grumpy about it, and if I had one ridiculous wish that was going to be fulfilled it wouldn't have anything to do with physical appearance or function, it would be to Darth Vader style choke the person who electronically cut off some really important parts of my pussy and stuck the finished product on the internet. My first guess would be Australia and their habit of labeling protruding labia offensive.
I see little tweaks in advertising materials or magazine spreads as the a modern equivalent to makeup or foundation garments. When it comes to drastic changes or surgery though, I prefer to keep my body parts the way they are.

Drying time is not so great-it takes a while to be able to put on another coat, and I just do not have the time! I probably will not buy this shade again, but I am not giving up on Wet N Wild-I like many of their products!
