UPDATED: Sports roundup from Monday, October 7
Alexandria 3, St. Cloud Apollo 0
The Alexandria girls' soccer team wrapped up the regular season 14-2 and 12-0 in the Central Lakes Conference after a 3-0 win over St. Cloud Apollo on Monday night.
It was the 11th shutout of the season for the Cardinals and their first undefeated run through the CLC in program history. Kaila Dewanz got Alexandria going in the first half as she cut into the box from the right side and found Rachel Drew, who finished off the goal to make it 1-0. Chelsey Salto added to it in the second half as she scored on a corner kick that was sent in by Emily Korkowski. Korkowski then got one of her own off a rebound with less than six minutes remaining.
The Cardinals will head into the playoffs with a lot of momentum on their side. Their 0.43 goals against average is the lowest in Class A. They did not give up a goal all season at home and their 14-2 record is the program's best ever as they now shoot for a second straight trip to the state tournament.
St. Cloud Apollo 1, Alexandria 0
St. Cloud Apollo scored in the 18th minute and used that to secure a 1-0 win that dropped Alexandria to 5-9-2 overall and 4-7-1 in the Central Lakes Conference to end the regular season.
The Cardinals got just three shots on net to the Eagles' 10. Zach Lamb had nine saves. Alexandria will turn its attention to the playoffs where the Cardinals will battle East Grand Forks in the opening round this Thursday.
B-B-E 3, Osakis 1 (25-16, 25-11, 26-28, 25-20)
The Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa volleyball team (16-5-2) won a rematch of last year's section tournament match as the Jaguars outlasted Osakis (17-6, 8-0 Prairie) in four sets on Monday night.
"We started out rough with our passing," Osakis head coach Kirsten Wessel said. "They are great servers, too. We have to make adjustments to our passing in order for us to be able to compete in our section."
The Jaguars controlled the first two sets on their way to 25-16 and 25-11 wins before the Silverstreaks won 28-26 in the third. They weren't able to sustain that momentum as BBE rallied for a 25-20 win to put the match away.
Brooke Sorenson led Osakis at the net with 10 kills and Brittney Sadlemyer finished with eight. Annalise Savageau had 14 assists, while Breanna Larson finished with a team-high 22 digs.
The West Central Area volleyball team took down Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley in four sets on Monday night after dropping the opening set.
The Knights had to battled every step of the way, winning by a combined four points in sets two and three before taking care of the match with a 25-17 win in the fourth.
Holly Van Kempen had a big night with 20 kills, eight blocks and 10 digs. Christina Kruize had 34 assists and 19 digs, while Tiana Christenson added eight kills and 39 digs.
Montevideo 3, Minnewaska 1 (19-25, 25-16, 27-25, 25-12)
The Montevideo volleyball team overcame a loss in the first set to beat Minnewaska in four on Monday night.
The Lakers came out strong in winning 25-19 but couldn't sustain that as the Thunderhawks rallied and droppped the Lakers to 9-11 overall and 3-7 in conference play. Alison Hoeper had 10 kills to lead the Lakers' offense. Emma Middendorf added seven, while Taylor Amundson finished with 24 assists and Ariel Ostrander had a team-high 26 digs.

I also disagree that only the inexperienced Indians fake thier resumes as this is a minority fraction of the fresh graduates passing out of colleges in India and this minority is a huge number as per world standards. Resume cooking up is a global phenomenon and if the interviewer is intelligent enough to ask questions related to work experience than such applicants can be weeded out.Just like every other IT consultant be it Java or HTML etc, you are bound to have consultants ranging from 0 to 5 plus years of experience in sap too, and they would definitely have none to excellent skills in this spectrum.
Another question i would like to ask this author is that he must have also analysed the recruitment of sap consultants in the other countries and why is that companies still keep coming to India irrespective of the so called problems highlighted here is a question to ask.
I am very sorry to state that this is a very unprofessional article and very baised in its approach.
Another thing is if you feel i am a fly by night sap consultant who has posted this comment than let me assure you that i have more than 15 yrs of professional experience and 6 plus years in sap and have worked on umpteen projects like many of my Indian collegues in sap and are major contributers to sap projects/products.
"H-1b holders typically apply to technical jobs that can require at least 5 to 7 years of operational experience." Which is not quite true- lot of these are undergraduate student coming out of their OPT. You might notice- even the graduate quota was exceeded. This means that government is not so keen to accommodate (even graduate) students who graduated from (expensive) US colleges working experience in the US. I hope you understand the value of work experience after graduation.
Does this suggest that the H1B system needs to be reformed according to the needs? At the same time I would request you to interview some of those SAP consultants. I would expect better next time.]]>
It is a rediculous desition.
How the people will get experince in the perticular field.
only when they get job and do some work. I believe that in SAP world no one will help each other they think if he comes to US he bill be competitor in the job market. But it is not true.
Everybody is having his own destination so don't worry.Try to help new comers in SAP.
Wish u all the best
I believe an alternative path into SAP would be to try to find a company that is actually deploying SAP, and get in on the project somehow. According to what our resident SAP consultants have said, that kind of experience can't be simulated in, or replaced by, a certification program.
If this sounds hard, it is. IT or consulting jobs are not easy career paths, which is why they pay so well.

THANK you again to local newspapers like this one for printing my letters about reuniting those who have served together in the Royal Navy.
I have received some lovely stories and am pleased to announce that over the years I have managed to reunite lots who have served together, much with the cooperation of the local newspaper.
My letters are often cut out and sent to someone who has served – 'my niece saw your letter and sent it to me'.
One of the main points [people make] in letters to me is the missing of the camaraderie of those who served in the Royal Navy and [also] 'I wish I could relive some of it'.
Well, thanks to a little bit of effort and co-operation, this can be done in the form of an 'RN Shipmates Reunion', which will be held over the weekend of 27-2 March, 2015, in Bristol.
This includes a couple of coach tours over the weekend and, of course, a Tot Issue.
The ladies are not forgotten so wives and partners are welcomed, too.
There's no association to join, no annual subscription – just come and 'Swing the Lamp' and find old shipmates and how about using the internet/radio to start now?
Send me a brief story of a shipmate you would like to be reunited with from your Royal Navy days and I will broadcast it on the internet all over the world on www. a n ge l ra d i o i s l e o f wight.moonfruit.com.
This goes out locally on 91.5 fm and Wight Fibre network but, more importantly, on the world wide web each Wednesday evening from 7.30pm-8pm, appropriately called "from the Crowe's Nest".
The Royal Navy is going to be in the news a lot in the coming weeks with a new aircraft carrier and a new Royal Marine band being formed – 'The Fleet Band' – to coincide with the aircraft carrier, so hurry and find your old shipmates.
Contact me, Mike Crowe, for reunion or the internet radio details on firstname.lastname@example.com or at 7 Heath Road, Lake, Sandown, Isle of Wight, PO36 8PG.
(A stamp will help the pension if writing to me for reunion details!) The next move towards finding your old shipmate is yours.
Do it now!
Mike Crowe, Sandown, Isle of Wight

Last year in July, I wrote about this debate that the UN was having about it's use of PMSC's, now and into the future. This is the final review panel about this debate, and it was interesting to hear the current view point of the UN.
One of the things that came up that I thought was interesting, is that the UN still does not know how many contractors it uses, either for guard work or for logistics. So I think they should at least dedicate some time and effort towards getting a firm grasp on this. Perhaps an online database that gives a transparent view of everyone they are using, both past and present. They could also add to that database if that company was fired or not, or what they thought of their performance? Anything to add to the history of the use of contractors.
They also talked in great length about codes of conduct and other initiatives to get companies to self-regulate. My thoughts are that if the UN actually published violations of these codes as a record for the public, kind of like what POGO does with companies in the US, then that would keep the world and the UN better informed as to the true track records of companies. That kind of history and track record is essential information if you want to truly find the best value company for the money. Companies would also fight to not be on that list, and especially if it impacted bidding.
The other surprising thing is that they couldn't list how much money was spent on contractors, past or present. So a database should absolutely list those costs so that member donors to the UN can see exactly how their money is being spent. Also, other companies can see how much a service costs, and find out if they can provide that service cheaper or at least get a feel for what it would take to spin up a contract. So a UN contractor database would be an excellent investment, if the UN is interested in transparency and effectively using this industry.
I was also taken aback when the panel was asked around the 28:30 point of this video, what they thought about the lack of accountability for member nation troops that continue to violate human rights during peace keeping operations. No one wanted to take that question and it was left 'wide' open. I thought the silence said everything…
There was also numerous questions about the definition of mercenary and how that applied to PMSC's. Or how their group was called the UN Working Group On The Use of Mercenaries, and yet they were tasked with evaluating PMSC's that were not mercenaries by definition. I think the choice of group title is somewhat counterproductive for such a panel, if they wanted to be perceived as objective in their research of this industry. With that said, the group at least tried to differentiate between mercenaries and PMSC's.
If the video below does not show up, here is a link to the video. It is about 50 minutes long and worth your time. The panel's final report should be coming out sometime this year, and I will post it when it surfaces. –Matt

Paula Deen's career is in mid-downward spiral after her admission last week that she had, in fact, used racist language in her past, which led both the Food Network and Smithfield Foods to cut ties with the celeb cook.
But Kathie Lee is reserving judgment.
"This lawsuit is just in the discovery process," KLG pointed out on Tuesday. "I'm just a little worried that we are condemning a person. The facts are not yet in."
While the lawsuit remains ongoing, Hoda said Paula still needs to address the revelations about her past.
"She needs to do damage control pronto to see if this thing could stop," Hoda said.
Though Paula was a no-show to her interview with Matt Lauer last week, the ladies are holding out hope that her scheduled sit-down on Wednesday will allow her to shed a little more light on the matter.
Kathie Lee said she really felt for Paula, and that the situation hit home for her. "I've been in that position, where I've been accused of something horrendous," she said. "And it wasn't true at all. It may all be true, but the point is we don't know yet. The people who stood by me and knew it wasn't true. God Bless them."
The kindness of one stranger in particular made KLG nearly tear up: "I'll never forget," she remembered. "This lady was wearing a dress of mine, and she goes 'I just want you to know, when you were accused of that, I went out and I bought five of your dresses. Because I knew it wasn't true.'"
Of the current controversy over Paula Deen, Kathie Lee urged a little more caution. "The facts will come out," she said. "But let's not rush to judgment."
"I'm with you!" Hoda cheered.
To which KLG laughed: "For a change, yes!"

Investing in Queens' Future campaign exceeds goal
On October 13, 2011, President Pamela Davies announced the successful completion of the Investing in Queens' Future campaign at the 22nd annual Royal Society Dinner.
"Your generosity has literally transformed our university," she told the crowd of alumni and friends.
Just more than $60 million of the campaign funds will be used to fund new and improved facilities. The Rogers Science and Health Building will welcome students in fall 2012, and soon thereafter the Levine Center for Wellness and Recreation will open and become a center of campus life.
The campaign also increased funding for scholarships and academic programs. Donors gave more than $11 million to support endowed scholarships, and over the course of the campaign gave nearly $15 million to the Queens Fund to support annual scholarships. Generous gifts also allowed Queens to launch three new academic units: the Wayland H. Cato Jr. School of Education, the Andrew Blair College of Health, and the James L. Knight School of Communication.
In addition to exceeding the campaign goal of $100 million, Queens achieved victory more than a year earlier than planned. In an effort deemed "The Final Mile" donors came together to raise the last $15 million by June 15, 2011 so that the construction of the Levine Center could begin this summer.
"I have come to expect the best from our Queens family," said President Davies, "but the outpouring of support to enable us to reach the goal line was truly overwhelming."
The results of the Investing in Queens' Future campaign will benefit students for generations to come.
Davies thanked Board of Trustees Chairman Ben Jenkins, campaign co-chairs Ravenal and Beth Curry '63 MBA '83, Jim and Dottie Martin '59, and honorary co-chairs Jim and M.A. Rogers for their leadership, saying, "You led more than 9,000 alumni and friends to contribute to this campaign."

Why Hantec Markets
I have found the staff at Hantec to be polite, helpful and reliable. They have been very quick to answer any queries and always return calls and emails as promised.
I have traded with four other well-known brokers in the past but my account manager at Hantec, Andrew, appears to take a genuine interest in how you trade.
As yet I have made no withdrawals but I am completely relaxed trading with this company.
I'm fairly new to Hantec Markets (but have been trading for a couple of years,) so far I have found them to be very helpful - love the fact that I've had no requotes and all my trades are executed without delay. Also, it's great to have the morning reports and analysis by Richard Perry which give an insight to the day's trading - the customer service is the best -all in all a great company and trustworthy which is important in this field. Thank you - Linda Martin
Good broker for taking small low leveraged positions.
I like to invest rather than speculate. Excellent customer service and nice account managers.
In my past experience with brokers it's all fine and dandy trading and making profits but as soon as you try the withdraw real money fiction starts to occur.
Not with Hantec they are fair and it is one of those brokers you can make money with.
Plus they have very good analysis and reports. Whereas other brokers provide information and outlooks that are simply propaganda.

Message from the Principal
Choice is probably one of the most powerful words. It empowers us to live our lives according to our principles, our dreams, and our goals. It makes all things possible, which is why Black Rock High School is built upon choice.
I believe everything is ultimately based on choice. I believe we are all empowered to make the choices for ourselves and our lives. You may choose to work hard and succeed; you may choose to be a positive force in this school and in the world; you may choose to be a leader who gives everything you do 100% of your effort. Or you may choose to coast through life, be a victim, or be a negative influence in the world. The choice is ultimately yours, but know that whatever path you choose for yourself, there will be consequences. Those consequences will be good or bad, depending on the path you choose. Hopefully, each and every one of our students will always choose wisely and live each day based upon their principles, their dreams, and their goals.
I hope you will choose to be present in each moment and make the most of every single day. I hope you will choose to be successful and happy in all your endeavors. I hope you will always choose to have a good day. If you do, you can be assured that I and every staff member at Black Rock High School will work diligently to ensure you are successful in your endeavors and that your choices bring you the positive consequences you deserve.
I am not going to lie to you: It is not always easy. There will be times when students will feel like giving up, and that is why the Black Rock staff is here. We have put together the best group of teachers to motivate, encourage, and guide students:
Mr. Beck and Mr. Ingram offer support in earning history credits.
Ms. Weitz assists in science, health, Apex, and Medical Careers Lab.

Ms. Kelley provides support in English.
Ms. Hill teaches English, home economics, and art.

Mr. Teeter and Mr. Beck teach woodshop
Mr. Mahan teaches our Medical Careers classes.
Ms. Mendoza and Mr. Bartz offer support as our instructional assistants.

School Safety Letter to Parents
Dear Parents and Guardians:
It is always important to review our school's safety plans and to remain vigilant in constantly monitoring our security measures. As such, I wanted to take a moment to review with you Black Rock High School's security procedures.
The staff has developed a school-wide safety plan that is reviewed and updated annually. Staff members revisit this plan regularly to ensure they know what to do in the event of a natural disaster or a security breach, and drills are practiced throughout the year.
As part of this plan, the ingress and egress of students and visitors is limited to the main entrance, which is closely monitored by staff members. The school is equipped with a two-way radio system that comes with an emergency channel for direct contact with first responders, and in case of an emergency, we have a system of communication in place with police, district office, and parents of registered students. Our campus is fenced, and all campus visitors must report to the office.
In addition to the staff members and myself, the district also employees two part-time campus supervisors, who help to monitor the safety of our students. Together, we patrol the school and stay in constant communication throughout the day.
Our students are an extension of our family, and each student's safety is a priority to us. Please know we will make every effort feasible to maintain a safe learning environment for them throughout the year. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call (760)369-6310 or email me at email@example.com.

Kandiyohi Co. lake levels drop in an extremely vigorous return to normal levels
SPICER -- Water levels swelled to near record peaks in Kandiyohi and surrounding counties this summer, inflicting significant damage to lake shorelines and ditch banks.
At its peak on Aug. 15, the water in Green Lake was only one-half foot from the all-time high experienced in late July of 1986. The water was lapping at the underneath grid work of the bridge crossing the lake's outlet, and close to flooding the roadway as it had in 1986, according to Ethan Jenzen, an area hydrologist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in Spicer.
Big Kandiyohi and other lakes in the southern half of the county saw some of the worst shoreline erosion ever, in some cases necessitating emergency work to protect residences.
Just over two months later, Green Lake and many other major water basins in the county are back to normal levels for autumn, something that hasn't been seen since 2009.
Water levels on Green Lake and Lake Wakanda have dropped by two feet, bringing them to normal fall levels. The Minnesota River at Morton is flowing at roughly 1,200 cubic feet per second, normal for this time of year but roughly one-eighth the flow of 8,000 cubic feet per second recorded on Aug. 15.
Rarely has the drop to "normal'' happened so quickly, Jenzen said. "It's like somebody shut the valve off, shut the faucet,'' he said.
Precipitation levels in the summer were anywhere from 150 to 175 percent of normal: From July 1 through Aug. 15, 10.5 inches of rain fell in central Kandiyohi County.
Since then, precipitation has been 25 to 50 percent of normal, with as little as 1.5 inches to 2.5 inches recorded in the region.
The groundwater table is also dropping to normal levels as the dry conditions provided the opportunity for water in-flows and out-flows to equilibrate, according to Jenzen.
Last summer saw unprecedented demands to county and state agencies for help in dealing with the erosion and flooding problems caused by the above-normal precipitation. Along with excessive rainfall amounts, high humidity slowed evaporation. While difficult to quantify, Jenzen said there's lot of anecdotal evidence suggesting that we experienced windier conditions too, which served to aggravate shoreline erosion problems.
The excess moisture also washed more sediment and nutrients into area waters, feeding large algae blooms.
Only time will tell whether the dry conditions will persist but Jenzen cautions that we have seen extremes like this not too long ago. The record high water levels experienced in 1986 were matched by record low levels in the drought of 1988.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Charlie Brooker
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Charlie Brooker
Any Brooker fans out there care to review this? English peasant 23:10, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Charlie Brooker himself said (on Twitter): "@BethBreeze I love reading formulaic slaggings which culminate in saying I've become something I would've slated, written by children."
Ouch. He said it on 2.05pm on May 29th, if you want to look it up. Charlie's Twitter Sir Padddy5 CUN VFH 12:41, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
- I think this article breaks at least two of The Big Five is that it reads like a personal attack on Brooker, and is without satire or wit. The biographical information is factually correct, but with the words shit or crappy put in front of specific details. I am a fan of Brooker and do believe that You Have Been Watching is weak but merely listing what he's done and then putting that they're crap isn't exactly stretching to achieve anything like satire. Buddhafella 18:26, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Response - It amuses me that you claim to be a Brooker fan, yet claim that this article is without satire or wit. I have specifically written the article in the style of a typical Brooker hatchet job and have deliberately used numerous Brookerisms (check the quoted expert source, its Brooker himself). Your claim that I put the words "shit or crappy... in front of specific details" is demonstrably false, the only uses of "shit" in the whole biography are the use of "shitstorm" which is a common Brookerism, "annoying shit stirrer" to describe Julie Birchill and "toxic shitstack" to describe Reading. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with Brooker's Screenburn column, the Grauniad website and the pitiful standard of the below the line comments secreted by his hoard of witless sycophants, hence your inability to recognise the satirical fanboy comments in the article, although perhaps you are one of those fanboys that can't bear to see yourself and your hero satirised. For the record I'm a big Brooker fan, I have been reading his work in the Guardian since he started writing in G2 a decade ago and believe that Newswipe was excellent (BBC broadcasting at its finest), but if you can only satirise stuff you don't like then you are not much of a comic. I would also politely suggest that you read Uncyclopedia:No personal attacks, as your claim that the Brooker article violates it looks like inaccurate wikilawyering, especially given the usual standard of biographies on this website. English peasant 17:03, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Buddhafella, you are wrong, by which I mean, I second the sentiments of the above poster. IronLung 05:54, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
OK everyone, the discussion on this ends now. If you want to talk about this do it in the forum or on a talk page; this is not the place for it. Now back down the mine with the lot of you. --ChiefjusticeWii 08:13, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps if someone actually did the review, the discussion would die down a bit. I've got a good mind to do it myself. English peasant 21:27, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
- Now now, a reviewer will be along soon, and if they haven't turned up by this time tomorrow, mention it on my talk page and I'll put on the ol' peeing boots and do it myself. --ChiefjusticeWii 21:29, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
Right, I've got this, 24 hours. --ChiefjusticeWii 07:55, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
|Right, you have taken this one in a very interesting direction and it is only the second time I've seen someone have a stab at this particular type of article. My enduring feeling is that you are successful in doing what you are trying to do but in doing so you make the article far less accommodating than it could be. Permit me to expand, consider the very start of your article, you immediately state exactly what the intended aim of the article is and that is exactly what you intend to do as you are satirising his work, but you do it to such an extent that in some places I began to lose sight of the point you were making. Consider it in this way if I say "Darth Vader was a rather mean chap who in his utter meanness brought on by a childhood devoid of pokemon and freedom which he experienced on the planet of Tatooine" then by the time I finish complaining and elaborating on the character it is a slight struggle to remember what point you were making initially. With what you are doing this issue is expanded to cover the whole article, the whole thing comes across as something of a tirade rather than a review and it is important for you to distinguish between the two. The reason your article sounds more like a tirade is because much of the criticism is drawn from a single point or isn't backed up at all, consider "He has only 3 jokes which he recycles endlessly in pessimistic diatribes which are then passed off as gritty satirical humour." It's fine as a point but you need to say something to quantify it. This is the reason that your article has seemed as it has to some of the persons commenting above, for it to sound less like a string of insults coupled together losely you need to present some evidence for most, if not all of your points. Now in the above instance I'm not suggesting that you say "... and these jokes go like this" I'm simply suggesting that you investigate a way to demonstrate your point later, perhaps by repeating a couple of your jokes or by coming to a biased conclusion twice. The issue you face in writing in this style is that if it is not done properly the article sounds more like a bundle of insults, and while my feeling on reading your article was that it isn't a personal attack and is a very good start at an appropriate satire, but it is easy to lose sight of this at times. My other piece of advice would be to try and reserve the ultimate opinion to the very end, you rarely see reviews of poor films, plays or books that start with "This book was a revelation, in that I didn't think anyone could write such a steaming pile of shit without talent removal surgery" as it doesn't leave anything else to say in the review; for this reason I would suggest that you conclude by saying outright that he is a gobshite and strongly suggest it all the way through, listing the reasons why before ultimately saying "All these reasons put together lead me to conclude that Charlie Brooker is a first class gobshite".
Beyond this I commend you for doing reasonably well with this one, as I say above try to include more emphasis on the review style of the article. I would strongly suggest you take a look at this article which does a similar thing to you, my advice would be that you take a look at what the author of that one does to get his point across and try and compare how the way of bringing the humour to the reader works in your respective articles. I was interested to see the comments section which I rather enjoyed, my only suggestion is that you try and tie a couple more jokes from within the article to the comments, highlighting specific comments, or perhaps just using the favoured youtube trick and simply quoting what everyone has just seen/read back in a comment, otherwise I thought it made for a good addition to what you had already done.
|I like how you have made the concept your own by including some original ideas to compliment the text but I would encourage you to take a second look at a couple of aspects of your text. I would especially encourage you to pay more attention to the idea that it is supposedly the person reviewing himself, but I never got that impression from the text, perhaps this was your intention but it didn't sit too well with me as a reader. My advice from how I read this one would be to attempt to bring the narrative a bit closer to the person who is supposedly writing, the style is fine but my feeling is that something in the text, be it footnotes or some other means that suggest the person writing is also the subject. The reason I am making such a point of this is that your article sounds far more like the Ben Croshaw one linked above which is supposed to be someone criticising someone in that persons signature style whereas yours is supposed to be the person being criticised, my feeling is simply that there should be more than a single defining characteristic that separates the two. My complaint here is somewhat minor but for some may prove to be problematic especially as the idea that he is reviewing himself is such a prominent one, I leave a decision on the most pertinent course of action to you.
|Prose and formatting:
|Spelling and grammar are near without fault and for this alone you are to be commended. My only recommendation on this accordingly is that you keep up the good work and ensure you proofread carefully after making any major changes and, should you desire a second opinion the good people at UN:PS are generally always happy to help out. The formatting is generally excellent too, everything fits in neatly and the article looks good. The only minor quibble that I have is that you might want to consider moving the image of Brooker down a bit to avoid having everything either right up at the bottom or with the comments at the bottom. Besides that you may want to consider adding a bit more gloss to the comments section, and it may be worth asking a coding wizard like PuppyOnTheRadio or Spang for advice and help if that is a route you would be interested in following. As I said only minor issues here, and some generally sterling work.
|Good here, my main piece of advice would be that you make sure that the image caption is not neglected if you make significant changes to the article, I would also encourage you to make more of the news website idea as I mentioned above and it may be possible to incorporate some changes there.
|My overall grade of the article.
|Final Score:
|A very solid piece of work here, you write well and the jokes are enjoyable, the main thing that I would say that you need to focus on is remedying the problems with your style, my feeling is that this will be relatively easy for you to do and I would encourage you to see opinions such as the ones mentioned above this review as indicators of how others will view your article, consider going to these people and asking them if your changes make the article appeal to them more. My advice would be to try and reconcile the direction you want to go with the article with the reviewing style you have set for yourself, once you do this I feel that the humour will be vastly improved. If you have any questions or comments for me then feel free to leave them on my talk page. Finally my apologies for the long wait you have had for this review, we do endeavour to avoid it but occasionally it does happen. In future if you have been waiting for over two weeks then bring it to my attention and I will get it sorted out for you. Good luck making any changes.

National League Predictions
Our best guess at 2000's winners and losers
Despite their loss of John Smoltz for the season, we didn't have any problem picking the Braves to finish atop the East again. The Mets have made a lot of changes over the offseason, and we don't think they are in a strong position to make another run at Atlanta this year. In third are the Phillies, who have one of the most unpredictable squads in the majors this year. The Expos will ride their solid young pitching staff and offense to a fourth place finish in 2000, with better things to come. The forever-rebuilding Marlins are a good bet to be the East's worst team this year.
Individual Comments:
Clay Davenport: Even without Smoltz, the Braves still have more pitching than anyone else (and having Andruw Jones in CF is a considerable part of that), and their offense is solidly in the upper half of the NL. Meanwhile, New York's offense collapses back to league average; Zeile for Olerud is a big loss, Bell for Cedeno is a big loss, and look for some smaller losses as Ventura, Henderson, and others fall back. Philadelphia will be close enough to smell a WC, especially if Schilling can come back strong and soon. The Expos pitching has great promise. And the less said about the Fish, the better.
Jeff Hildebrand: I'm sure this will get me a ton of hate mail from the Mets fans, and to be honest I could easily imagine any possible permutation of the middle three, all within a few games of .500. The Braves should win the division easily, with the Marlins way below everyone else. The Mets lost too much offense from the departure of Olerud and Cedeno. While Hampton will be a good pitcher he won't be as good as he was last year, especially without Dierker to guide him, and I think a lot of the rest of the team is going to implode. If everything were to break right for the Phillies, they might approach 90 wins and if goes wrong they'll be in the low 70s. 81 to 83 wins seems the most likely. The Expos should be the latest team to prove that throwing lots of money at mediocre players merely makes you mediocre.
Rany Jazayerli: The Braves are going to win this division, and no, Mets fans, it won't be close. Mike Hampton will only cushion the blow that Derek Bell provides, and if they really do trade Rickey, they could struggle to reach .500. The Expos are slowly developing young talent (or grabbing it from the Dodgers) again, but there are already bad signs that the Loria era in Montreal won't be nearly as promising as hoped. The Phillies need Schilling healthy and Burrell in the lineup, but may not have either, due to circumstances entirely within their control. The Marlins' rebuilding process is big on power arms, but there really isn't a potential franchise hitter (that can stay healthy, Cliff) on the roster.
Keith Law: The order's the same, but the win totals won't be, as Atlanta and New York are worse off than they were last year and Montreal is much better - good enough to challenge Philly for third, at least. Atlanta will miss John Smoltz, but if they put Bruce Chen in the rotation and leave him alone, they'll be fine; if they put Kevin McGlinchy in there, they'll be even better off. Ninety wins should take the division, because the Mets are dismantling a really solid offense. With two of their top three OBA guys gone (Olerud and Cedeno) and one half out the door (Henderson), plus the dilutive effect of adding Todd Zeile, they're going to score at least fifty fewer runs this year. The rotation is full of question marks, more so after Mike Hampton walked nine in his first start, and the defense can't possibly stay as good as it was last year. Still, the Phillies won't catch them with a patchwork rotation, the majors' worst middle infield, and a horrible bullpen. Montreal is finally showing signs of life thanks to a rejuvenated rotation that is poised to pass Pittsburgh as the home of the league's top young starters and an offense that will get its first legitimate leadoff hitter (Peter Bergeron) since Tim Raines left town. Florida can't be as bad as it was last year, and they've got some talent in every department, but they're still in prep mode for a shot at .500 in 2001.
Joe Sheehan: Braves again, even without John Smoltz, and even as John Schuerholz makes all kinds of weird decisions in his absence. They're the favorite because the Mets did more backsliding this winter than the Braves did, getting more expensive and older, and chipping away at the strength of the team, its OBP-oriented offense. There are three other teams in this division, and we should all work hard to remember who they are. Starting in 2001, they'll once again be interesting.
Derek Zumsteg: No surprises here. I think the Mets are going to be forced to make some hard decisions about what to do with their rotation and their outfield when their wild-card chances start to fade mid-season.
National League Central
This will clearly be one of the most interesting races in the majors; we like the Astros, and by a fairly wide margin, but the Cardinals and the Reds should be a classic behind the heroics of Mark McGwire and Ken Griffey. Fourth-place finisher Pittsburgh is depending on things breaking right with Chad Hermansen, Aramis Ramirez, and the pitching staff; they'll all be good, but they may not all be good in 2000. The Cubs and the Brewers are consensus bottom-of-the-division finishers; at least Milwaukee has a new stadium to look forward to sooner or later.
Individual Comments
Clay Davenport: When I plugged the Astros numbers, I came up with a runaway best offense in the league, and overall pitching that challenges the Braves. This team may not have a shortstop, but they are loaded everywhere else. The Reds, with Griffey now leading the offense, are my wild-card pick. The Pirates have some good pitching, but the offense will hold them back. I don't see the Cardinals as a real contender; the pitching staff is relying on pitchers who used to be good all recapturing the magic together, and I don't see Merlin in the clubhouse. The Cubs and Brewers are pathetic, with bad hitting joining ludicrous pitching staffs.
Jeff Hildebrand: It's entirely possible that the winner of the West would wind up fifth in this division. Adding Cedeno and Dotel should more than offset the loss of Hampton for the Astros, and their system is so deep they should repeat. While the Reds did add Junior, which will help, they also added Fonzie and that's gonna hurt. The Cardinals could easily finish higher, but I no longer trust LaRussa to properly handle a pitching staff which will doom them in this division. I don't think the Pirates are quite there this year, but they have enough good young players to have the potential to surprise. Watch out for them next year, especially if the proposed realignment happens. Then at the other extreme there are two really bad teams. The Brewers have a strong player in Burnitz and a couple more young solid players in Jenkins and Belliard, but they also have way too many holes and with the exception of Woodard, the pitching staff looks like an absolute nightmare. The Cubs have some similar problems, but at least to begin with they have a little more pitching. If Valdes really is out for the year, this could be a real race for futility.
Rany Jazayerli: The Astros are still the team to beat; Dotel could win 15 games this year, and once they have Elarton back, they'll still have the best rotation in the division. With Hidalgo and Alou healthy, and the addition of Roger Cedeno, this year's outfield could be better than last year's, even without Carl Everett. The decision between Cincinnati and St. Louis was the most difficult one for me to make, and it's not any easier now that Jim Edmonds is in red. I have faith that the Reds' rotation will stick together - and the decision to go with Rob Bell over Mark Portugal should pay off - and I remain skeptical regarding LaRussa's ability to ever piece together a strong rotation again, as well as his willingness to just let J.D. Drew play. The Pirates need to temper their expectations, because until Kris Benson really does win the Cy Young Award, they're just a .500 team. The Cubs are still the Cubs, handing out 3-year contracts to stiffs like Joe Girardi, which still makes them better than the Brewers, who traded Jeff Cirillo for the remains of Jamey Wright's right arm.
Keith Law: The NL Central has gotten some press lately as the majors' deepest, most competitive, et cetera, but it's really home to two of the majors' worst teams and one of the best, with some interesting stuff in between. Houston has to be the early pick for NL champion, with a deep pitching staff, an outfield with four guys who would start on any team in the majors, and Bagwell and Biggio still going strong. St. Louis underwent a needed reorg this offseason, but the rotation is full of castoffs and retreads to go with 20-year-old Rick Ankiel and the bullpen is shaky. Meanwhile, Tony LaRussa is making noises about stiffing JD Drew, the team's best outfielder offensively and defensively. Cincinnati has a similar makeup to the Cards - a good but not great offense and a subpar rotation, plus a bullpen full of question marks, here derived from the team's overuse of its main relievers last year. Pittsburgh supposedly has the division's best rotation, if the pundits are to be believed, but beyond Kris Benson are two health questions (Francisco Cordova and Jason Schmidt), a one-year wonder who's been awful all spring (Todd Ritchie), and non-prospect Jimmy Anderson. The team's strength could be its offense, which would mark the first time that's been the case in about eight years. Chicago and Milwaukee are both wandering in the desert, fighting for the million-dollar jackpot annually awarded to the team with the fewest walks.
Joe Sheehan: This should be a pretty good race, as the Cardinals and Astros reprise their 1996 battle. The Cardinals have the upside, with Edgar Renteria and J.D. Drew among the league's best breakout candidates, while the Astros have the stronger rotation and the better depth. Whichever team loses out will be the NL wild card, and I think the Astros' pitching and the Cardinals' potential for fragility swing the title Houston's way. Put it this way: I certainly don't think they'll finish fourth. The Reds will attract huge crowds and significant hype, but there's no way they get back to 96 wins in 2000, not with an offense certain to score fewer runs and a rotation with more health issues than a Gray Panthers convention. The Pirates have developed some good talent, but continue to squander money and playing time on bad players. Check back in 2001. The Cubs and Brewers? Well, how often can you get 11 of your peers to agree completely on anything?
Derek Zumsteg: Griffey may be happy, but the Astros are too strong, too smart, and too adaptable to lose the division.
National League West
Parity rears its head in the West this year; none of these teams are going to be very good. The Dodgers edge the Diamondbacks for first place in our predictions; Los Angeles has a shiny new right fielder to paper over their potentially serious rotation problems, and Arizona's roster mimics their target demographic, with senior citizens abounding. The Giants have Barry Bonds, but we're wary of that heavily abused rotation. The Rockies look nothing like they did last year, and we generally like the moves they've made, but they have a ways to go before they are ready for prime time. Our consensus last place Padres make no secret about playing for 2002.
Individual Comments
Clay Davenport: The tightest race I see. Arizona's players regress en masse, and if those 5000 pitches from a year ago knock out Johnson, they're toast. Colorado's total rebuilding improved their offense and defense, and I think they're a genuine threat to win the division. The Dodgers have the money, but have paid so much on colorful stars like Brown and Green that they're stuck with Elsters and Grudzielaneks and Hollandsworths in the supporting cast, and they'll drag the ship down. The Giants' pitching staff is on the verge of melting down, and their good offense won't be enough to cope with it. And its hard to believe that there's a team worse than the Marlins, Cubs, and Brewers, but that's where I see the Padres.
Jeff Hildebrand: Any of the top four teams could conceivably take this weak division. The Giants should score some runs, but the real question is whether their abused pitching staff will hold on long enough to win the division. I suspect so, but they'll go nowhere in the playoffs. The Dodgers' front office clearly has no idea what they're doing but they do still have some good players and Davey Johnson as manager. The loud "thud" coming from the desert is Arizona falling back to earth this year. They've got too many hitters who were above their head last year and they've got too many players for who the fact that they're a year older is a bad thing. Colorado seems to be starting to get a clue, but they've got too much of a hole to dig out of in one year. The Padres are in rebuilding mode and it'll show.
Rany Jazayerli: Not an impressive team in the bunch; none of them are locks to finish over .500. Yes, the Diamondbacks got some incredible late-in-career performances last year, but you can't just ignore 100 wins. It's hard to predict more than a 13-game drop, even with Matt Williams out until June, as Lee should be improved, and they have Durazo for a full year. Shawn Green was a nice pickup for the Dodgers, but they still have Carlos Perez in the rotation, and Kevin Elster - Kevin Elster! - is their starting shortstop. The Giants' rotation is already melting down - it must be Barry's fault. The Rockies made a lot of moves and a little progress over the off-season; until they play Petrick everyday and ditch Tom Goodwin, though, it won't be enough to get them into contention. The Padres are slowly moving in the right direction, and Matt Clement is this decade's Kevin Brown. You read it here first.
Keith Law: Despite producing a 100-game winner last year, this is easily the worst division in baseball. Los Angeles isn't really a good team, but it has the fewest problems and the best pitching staff. Arizona might be considered the default choice, but their offense overachieved significantly last year and the bullpen's a mess. Colorado's a bit of a wild card; their rotation is good on paper, but how the new pitchers will react to the altitude is anyone's guess. In addition, they'll have at least three holes in the lineup with Tom Goodwin, Neifi Perez, and whoever's catching (until Ben Petrick is recalled). Betting against San Francisco is always dicey, but Dusty has ridden his starters so hard of late that it's not hard to see two or three breaking down this season. And it's hard to believe San Diego was in the World Series 18 months ago, given the strong probability that they'll lose 95 games this year.
Joe Sheehan: Now that Davey Johnson has the roster flexibility and bullpen depth he so desperately wants, and no longer has to deal with giving playing time to the contracts of Raul Mondesi and Eric Young, he should be able to move the Dodgers to the top of an unimpressive division. At least the AL Central has the Indians: it's possible that 85 or 86 wins will walk away with the title here. The Giants return essentially the same cast as they've had the past few years, with the same problems. Their chances depend on Dusty Baker's ability to learn from his mistakes the past few years, by not burning out the pitching staff by August. The Diamondbacks will decline as their veteran core returns to a more normal production level. The Rockies have the personnel to have their best team in years, but questions of who won't play (Ben Petrick) and who will (Tom Goodwin) will hold them back. The Padres are just holding on until their new park is built.
Derek Zumsteg: Is Davey Johnson out of Moriarty-esque intrigues and game management plots? I'm betting on 'no'.

''Tristan & Isolde" comes with a crisp reminder from its studio's marketing department: ''Before Romeo & Juliet, there was. . . ." True, but why so defensive? It's not as if the movie is a dreary battle epic disguised as a romantic tragedy. And it's not as if it has to appeal to 15-year-old girls expecting a piece of cinematic candy starring Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh, wait -- it does. ''Tristan & Isolde" has the duty of telling an ancient, less famous feel-bad love story, the one Shakespeare didn't write and that Baz Luhrmann didn't direct.
''Tristan & Isolde" harks back to Celtic myth and Arthurian times, where a disunited England has shaken off the ill effects of Rome's occupation and is at war with the marauding Irish. The land is ruled by a bunch of squabbling factions whose leaders skulk and grouse about signing an accord meant to redirect everybody's attention toward the Irish and their destructive King Donnachadh (David Patrick O'Hara).
At this point you must be wondering what I was wondering for the first 30 minutes of ''Tristan & Isolde": Where's the love? It's out there somewhere. But first we must watch young Tristan lose his father during a battle. In that skirmish the boy's life is saved by Lord Marke (Rufus Sewell), who loses a hand in the process but gains a son. Tristan grows up and, now played by James Franco, has become Marke's fiercest warrior. Left for dead in battle, Tristan is put on a floating casket that drifts to Ireland, where it washes up and is discovered by Isolde (Sophia Myles), who was in the process of fleeing an arranged marriage.
Instead, she hides Tristan in a cave and brings him back to health, first by taking off all her clothes, ordering her dour helpmeet (Bronagh Gallagher) to do the same, and using their body heat to keep him from freezing. Isolde is a fine nurse and lover, but she neglects to tell the young Englishman that she's also King Donnachadh's little girl.
The poor guy doesn't figure it all out until he's back in England, fighting in a tournament. Tristan wins, and the prize is a bride for Lord Marke from the Irish king: Isolde! Marke is thrilled, Tristan is woebegone, and the movie turns mildly interesting as boy and girl carry on their affair. The romance, however, is secondary to the political back stabbing that Dean Georgaris concocts in his script. Sure, one sort of begets the other, and the fate of two nations hinges on the nondisclosure of the stolen kisses and secret trysts. But, boy, could I have not cared less.
''Tristan & Isolde" was directed by Kevin Reynolds, who made the Kevin Costner ''Robin Hood" and, more notoriously, Costner's ''Waterworld." As was the case with those movies, he's clearly more comfortable leading actors into battle than coaxing them to emote. Franco can be exhilarating in movies -- tremulous, unhinged, a little wild. Here his jaw never stops quivering and his eyes stay welled up, advertising a breakdown that never comes. Not that Myles has a presence a man would fall apart over. She's too professional to drive anybody crazy.
Other vibrant versions of this tale, including a lot of 12th-century poetry, suggest it didn't have to be this way. And according to the film's production notes, ''Tristan & Isolde" has long been a dream project for Tony and Ridley Scott, two of the movie's producers. Their films tell the modern history of the popcorn flick, from ''Alien" and ''Top Gun" to ''Gladiator" and ''Domino." So why didn't one of them direct ''Tristan & Isolde"? It needs something distinctly Scott-ish, like a whiff of trash or a scoop of crazy.

Five days after the best game he ever played, Elk River quarterback Austin Larson lasted just two snaps on Saturday, leaving with an ankle injury as Elk River dueled Rogers in the section semifinal.
Larson was joined on the sideline early in the second half by his successor Jordan Johnson, also with an ankle injury, which left the QB duties to Clay Elrod for the rest of the game.
Fortunately, all three are talented, poised, experienced athletes, and the Elks offense kept humming throughout in winning the 53-42 shootout at Rogers.
"I don't know how many offenses there are," said coach Steve Hamilton, "where you can run your third team quarterback and still move the ball like we did. We didn't miss a beat. We just kept going."
The Elks system has little if any passing but depends considerably on the quarterbacks' ability to camouflage the handoffs. Plus, the QB's frequently keep the ball and run around the ends.
It made "a huge difference" to have Elrod as the third option, said quarterbacks coach John Pink. Indeed, the Elks trailed 35-27 at the time but stormed back, starting with Elrod's 26-yard TD run around left end.
Johnson, a senior, started the Elks first six games but suffered knee and ankle injuries on his first run at Armstrong. With 311 yards on 48 carries (6.5 average), he missed the rest of that game and three more.
Larson, junior kicker and halfback, and backup quarterback, played a couple quarters that game before he got banged up, too, and Elrod finished the 51-13 rout.
Elrod, the Elks punter and starting tight end normally, did most of the quarterbacking in a 36-10 loss to unbeaten Osseo and 31-10 win over Park Center.
Larson returned for the playoff opener at Willmar and had spectacular game with 196 yards rushing, three TD's, a field goal and four XP's for 25 points.
Against Rogers, he fumbled the ball away on his first snap, then handed off to Denis Bardashevskiy on his fateful second snap. His deception on the handoff to Bardashevkskiy was convincing enough that Larson himself took a hard hit in the backfield while the fleet tailback was zooming through the line on an 81-yard run.
That ended Larson's day as he sat dejectedly and painfully on the bench and missed all the fun. Johnson, still not 100 percent, went in and ran four times for 26 yards (along with two times sacked trying to pass) before going down. Enter the 6-foot-5 Elrod, and the Elks basketball star (18 ppg last winter) helped the Elks go on a 26-0 run.
"I just tried to do the best I can, like the other two guys," he said. "Love them, they are great guys, so, just get in there and finish the job they started."
About his TD run, he recounted, "That was meant to be a run (by a running back) but one of their guys got hold of me. He didn't think I had the ball, so he let me go. One of my lineman actually knocked him off me, and I took off. That's what happened."
Pink has been playing musical chairs as the quarterbacks coach.
"We were trying to get Austin healthy for playoffs, so we sat him the last two (conference games) and that's where Clay got in and played. Austin was healthy for our playoff game at Willmar and he did well there. Today, Jordan still wasn't ready, but we felt he was our next best bet. It's hard for him to run."
Elrod, said Pink, is a "clutch player" and accustomed to pressure from his role on the basketball team.
What next? Who'll be calling the signals when the Elks (5-5) take on St. Michael-Albertville (7-3) for the section crown on Friday evening in St. Michael?
Hamilton said after the game he thought Larson will be fine while Johnson, having aggravated his ankle injury, might take longer. And of course there's also Elrod but you'd rather have your offensive line intact.
What they said after the game
Jordan Meyer, Elks offensive tackle, about why the running offense worked so well, in particular Bardashevskiy with five long TD's and a school record 370 yards: "First off all, it's God showing his glory. And second, our offensive line gives him a big hole, and he does his job. He's great at that. He is fast. Even the refs were saying they were tired (from chasing Bardashevskiy)."
Marc Franz, Rogers coach, about his team's 7-2 season: "I've said all year, we don't have one great player, we have a bunch of really good players who play together as a team. We are not going to overpower anyone but I love how our kids compete. I loved how we competed today, although obviously we came out on the short end."
Franz, about the season ending: "The toughest thing is saying goodbye to the seniors at the end of each year. I love to coach football and love to work with the kids, and you get to know them so much better in football than in the classroom. Football is not a game that a lot of people will go on to play after high school, so, you have the finality of it."
Steve Hamiilton, Elks coach, about facing Rogers, whom they beat 17-16 on a last-second field goal by Larson last year: "We knew Rogers would be tough. Marc does a great job and they are always well-coached. We knew they would be up for it, especially after what happened last year, and we would have to weather the storm at their place, and we did that."
Hamilton, about the Elks giving up just 10 points in the second half after 32 in the first: "Coach Baldwin and defensive staff made good adjustments at halftime."

Thom Yorke played the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, announced as a low-key solo show for the Green Party. Earlier on Thom Yorke soundchecked 'Harrowdown Hill', 'House Of Cards', 'Fog', 'These Are My Twisted Words', 'Like Spinning Plates' and new song 'Give Up The Ghost'.
After local artist Pete Um opened with a 30 minute set with just his vocals and a minidisc, Parliament candidate for the Green Party Tony Juniper, took the stage at 9:15pm. Juniper introduced Thom as a great person to work with and was proud to have him on the stage tonight. He asked Thom on stage under loud applause. The Radiohead frontman was in a very talkative mood and played three completely new songs (The Daily Mail, Give Up The Ghost and Mouse Dog Bird). Other notable songs were Lotus Flower (debuted earlier with the Eraser band), These Are My Twisted Words (the song Radiohead released online last Summer) and I Froze Up (once appeared in a Radiohead webcast).
Thom opened the set on acoustic guitar with The Clock from his The Eraser album and then moved over to the piano for the title track of that album, adding: "This one's for Jonny, he's a bit ill at the moment". The crowd responded with a loud 'Awwww'. Thom: "That's alright. He likes being in bed".
Before starting with the third song Thom asks if people could turn of the sound of their cameras; "It's all clickytyclickclick" (…) "well, you won't hear it on this one". Thom adds "When we were kids we went to a shop around here and switch on all the Casio keyboards. It sounded a little bit like this." The song is Arpeggi/Weird Fishes played on keyboards. With the crowd singing the parts Ed O'Brien usually does at Radiohead shows. It's either the crowd or messing up the keyboards, it surely made him laugh numerous times during the song.
Moving back to the piano, Thom gathered several sheets of papers with lyrics. "I'll need these. I have trouble remembering stuff these days. Or maybe I'm pregnant." Thom introduces the first new song of the evening: "This is a song you never heard before. It's dedicated to the open-minded, liberal kinda people of this country. It's called The Daily Mail". The second Radiohead track of the evening is 'Pyramid Song'. Thom gets his bass guitar for 'Harrowdown Hill' and plays a few notes and responded to someone in the crowd "Did someone just say Flea?!" and slaps his bass like the Red Hot Chili Peppers bass player would. Flea is also in his new band Atoms For Peace. He loops the bass guitar parts and plays over it, with some electric guitar at the end of the song.
'Lotus Flower' was introduced as something 'newish'. The track debuted last fall in Los Angeles when Thom Yorke played with his band. 'Give Up The Ghost' was soundchecked in the afternoon and is next in the setlist. Starting off with a loop of a beat and vocal line (Thom hits the mike with his hand and and some vocals), which worked after a second try, the song is one of the highlights of the show. Next up is another relatively new song. 'These Are My Twisted Words' is the Radiohead song released online last Summer. Thom commented afterwards 'The words are not that twisted, but the guitar part fucking is'. Ten songs in the set, we get another rarity. Only played at a Radiohead webcast before, Thom introduced 'I Froze Up' as 'only played in my bedroom before, or somebody's bedroom'.
Thom took a minute to explain why he's playing this gig tonight, saying he's sick of politician's lip service and not talking about green issues. "People are scared of change, but half the country is supporting environmental issues, but we are not represented in Parliament and now it could actually happen. That's why I'm here. That's wiiiiicked! I should shut up now." He then went on to play Radiohead's 'Like Spinning Plates' and then two more songs from The Eraser: 'Black Swan' and 'Cymbal Rush'. Closing track of the set was 'Videotape' from Radiohead's last album 'In Rainbows'.
Coming back for the first encore the crowd yelled for requests, but replied with 'Er… no… guess what? Another new one… Noooo!' and played brand new 'Mouse Dog Bird', recording and looping backing vocals. Another two Radiohead songs followed ('Reckoner' and 'Airbag') and closed the first encore with 'Atoms For Peace'.
A second encore was not on the setlist, but Thom came back under loud cheers to play a Radiohead live classic, 'True Love Waits'. Thom: "You might have to sing along for this one because I usually forget the fuuuuucking words." The song was really the last of the show and leaved the audience with an entertaining set and a great number of new songs.
Vote Green I'd say 😉

I am always on the lookout for something different.
I came across this glass sculpture at the monthly Surry Hills market about a year ago. I had no idea about the piece except that I recognized from the signature the Swedish firm of Gullaskruf. The artists name was easily legible, but this was different for what I thought had to be Swedish glass. On the base it reads: Gullaskruf 87 Carlos R. Pebaqué.
Later the net supplied the information about a South American now working permanently in Sweden. He had had an exhibition of his work here in Sydney, Australia in 1984. This piece is later from 1987, I believe.
I knew about Arthur Percy Arthur Percy (1886-1976) an Englishman who from a young age was drawn to Sweden and became immersed in the Swedish art scene. There were the Italian Marcolin brothers who had been brought to Sweden to bring a new twist to Swedish glass in the fifties at Ronneby. But I had never heard of Carlos R. Pebaqué.
His site gives this biography:
"Carlos R. Pebaqué was born in June, 1950 in Montevideo, Uruguay. In 1971 Carlos was accepted to the Art School in Montevideo. It was then he came into contact with glass and he became fascinated with this material's possibilities. As result he started 'Tallado en Christal' that same year. After seven years work in his company, Carlos left Uruguay. Several years of living a vagabond's life went by before Carlos settled down in Orrefors. In order to 'improve himself within the world of glass', Carlos enrolled in Orrefors Glass School in 1981 and graduated in 1983 with highest honors. Carlos started 'Gullaskrufs Glasateljé in 1984 where he worked as a designer. In 1991 Carlos created a new company 'CARLOS R. PEBAQUÉ DESIGN AB', mainly occupied with artistic (designer) glass."
From one angle it has a similar shape to one of the perfume bottles of Nils Landberg that I recently found on the net: a bottle from the fifties Orrefors NU 3300/12.
