Not yet another book on vampires!
You may be excused for reacting like this upon seeing this title: vampires have been done to death – in movies, in comics, in fiction, in non-fiction, in criticism… The only trouble is, there's no real 'death' when you're talking about the undead. They just keep coming back.
The eternal popularity of vampires, and new ways of interpreting them, is what this new book is all about. I must admit: I approached it with a somewhat jaded expression: "Surprise me!" And it did surprise me with its amount of fresh and intriguing perspectives on the nosferatu. The variety and richness of the essays collected here certainly offer many intriguing pages for both fans and scholars of the undead creatures.
The book is divided into three sections: Part I: Tackling Race, Gender, and Modes of Narration in America; Part II: Working through Change and Xenophobia in Europe, and the largest and most revealing section – Part III: Imperialism, Hybridity, and Cross-Cultural Fertilization in Asia.
In "Manly P. Hall, Dracula (1931), and the Complexities of the Classic Horror Film Sequel" Gary D. Rhodes writes about the planned but never realized direct sequel to Tod Browning's Dracula, written by Bela Lugosi's friend Manly P. Hall. He provides the synopsis and attempts to answer the obvious question: how come that Dracula, unlike Whale's Frankenstein (1931), never became properly serialized.
Paul R. Lehman and John Edgar Browning find new things to write about in "The Dracula and The Blacula (1972) Cultural Revolution" viewing the latter in the light of the times it was made in (early 1970s) and the cultural climate – with inevitable racial topics involved in the Dracula canon and subverted or at least questioned in this blaxploitation gem.
"The Compulsions of Real/Reel Serial Killers and Vampires: Toward a Gothic Criminology" investigates the connections between serial killers and vampires (compulsion to kill; bloodlust; periodic and ritualized crimes), with examples from films such as Henry: Portrait of a Serail Killer (1987), Ed Gein (2000), Immortality (1991) and the inevitable The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Hannibal (2001). Caroline Joan (Kay) Picart and Cecil Greek provide some interesting insights, especially in ther comparison between the "blank", "empty" killers (like Henry) and the charismatic ones (like Hannibal Lecter). There is also a telling contrast made between the real and "reel"exploits of Ed Gein.
Lisa Nystrom writes about "Blood, Lust, and the Fe/Male Narrative in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) and the Novel (1897)", in which various gender issues are compared and contrasted between Stoker's novel and Coppola's film, with a particular stress on the notion of "The New Woman". The author claims, quite convincingly, that –parallel to the much more analyzed theme of xenophobia – there is another central fear which fuels the novel: fear of an independent, active woman (Lucy) who does not passively rely on her male provider (like Mina).
Co-editor, Caroline Joan (Kay) Picart, comes back with another essay, written together with Cecil Greek, titled "When Women Kill: Undead Imagery in the Cinematic Portrait of Aileen Wuornos". It deals with the portrayal of a lesbian serial killer in the film Monster with Charlize Theron, and its inclusion here seems a bit forced. Still, it is a good essay which introduces an interesting point: that male serial killers in cinema are usually depicted in terms of vampire-imagery, while females are more often based on the Frankenstein figure.
Finally, for all the Trekkies out there, Justin Everett writes about "The Borg as Vampire in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994) and Star Trek: First Contact (1996): An Uncanny Reflection", where the Borg Queen is depicted as a foreigner and a sensuous devourer which affords her Dracula-type characteristics.
Thus ends part I, and opens part II: Working through Change and Xenophobia in Europe. The stress of these papers is on the racial, historical and cultural issues relevant for the Western attitude(s) towards the "exotic", barely known, different cultures placed "behind the great forest". Thus, Santiago Lucendo in his "Return Ticket to Transylvania: Relations between Historical Reality and Vampire Fiction" writes about the construction of fictional Transylvania and its real, historical basis. This is perhaps one of the best essays in the book, and it shows that vampirism is not so much a superstition imported from the East as it is "a series of fears and fancies projected (from the West) over a territory badly or totally unknown."
Jimmie Cain continues along the similar ground, investigating "Racism and the Vampire: The Anti-Slavic Premise of Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897)": it shows examples of prejudice against the Slavic people (and Jews) in the late XIX century, especially their alleged connection to various contagious diseases and epidemics. Sadly, the essy is too short and, while insightful, leaves a lot more to be desired.
The other two essays in this chapter deal more with cultural issues, such as the possibilities and traps of placing Dracula in contemporary world, in Pam Newland's "The Grateful Un-Dead: Count Dracula and the Transnational Counterculture in Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972)". It opens the possibility for re-appraisal of this neglected film by stressing the way that conflicting cultural identities clashed and changed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and showing how they were reflected in products of popular culture. On the other hand, "Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) as a Legacy of Romanticism" by Martina G. Lüke goes back to XIX century Romanticism to investigate alleged links with Herzog's masterpiece. I remain unconvinced by the proposal that Herzog follows the Romantic ideals in this film (or elsewhere), and certain similarities that the author finds seem to exist only on the surface level.
Finally, the third and largest section (occupying almost one half of the book) is titled Imperialism, Hybridity, and Cross-Cultural Fertilization in Asia, and it contains the most original, exotic, unexpected and thus most welcome topics in a book about vampires. It goes far beyond the "great forest" and the well-trodden ground of the Transylvanian count, all the way to the Far East. This section investigates the barely explored Asian vampiric folklore and its cinematic counterparts in movies made in Malaysia, Pakistan, Hong Kong and Japan.
"Death and the Maiden": The Pontianak as Excess in Malay Popular Culture by Andrew Hock-Soon Ng deals with the portrayal of women in Malay cinema and shows how an endemic vampiric creature, "pontianak" (as envisaged by cinema) is a hybrid of Eastern and Western influences.
"Becoming-Death: The Lollywood Gothic of Khwaja Sarfraz's Zinda Laash (Dracula in Pakistan [US title], 1967)" by Sean Moreland and Summer Pervez deals with a Western intruder and would-be-conqueror in an Eastern culture, where such a figure has different connotations than in the West.
Dale Hudson writes about the series of films about "hopping vampires" (the most well-known being Mr Vampire) in his "Modernity as Crisis: Goeng Si and Vampires in Hong Kong Cinema". It is a long, minute, well-researched and highly informative essay not only about these particular films, but also about the cultural and cinematic specifics of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1980s and its relation to Western genre cinema.
Wayne Stein's "Enter the Dracula: The Silent Screams and Cultural Crossroads of Japanese and Hong Kong Cinema" is a link between the previous and the following essay: it provides a helpful introduction into the cultural and spiritual basis of horror, evil and death in Japan and Hong Kong, before dealing with specific titles relevant for the theme of vampirism, including some manga (Blood: The Last Vampire, Vampire Hunter D, etc.) and even the unfortunate Hammer production in Hong Kong: Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires.
"Identity Crisis: Imperialist Vampires in Japan?" by Nicholas Schlegel investigates a little known trilogy of Dracula films made in Japan in the early 1970s: Legacy of Dracula, Lake of Dracula and Evil of Dracula. They were modelled upon the Hammer formula, but with some telling local specifics. Largely dismissed as derivative, these films are, according to the author, "much more than mere imitation of a successful British economic and aesthetic model. They are representative of a fear and anxiety of foreign rule and interference consonant in the period under which they were produced." The essay certainly provides a well-argued minority opinion about the films that no one has taken seriously so far.
And finally, the last essay in the book, "The Western Eastern: Decoding Hybridity and Cyber Zen Goth(ic) in Vampire Hunter D (1985)" by Wayne Stein and John Edgar Browning deals with a manga which offers a weird amalgam of action, Western, horror, SF and fantasy. Japan's fascination with and anxiety toward the West is analyzed here, but rather than as a mere symptom, the film is seen as offering a new mode of spirituality which blends the Eastern and Western Gothic/ness and transcends convention.
To conclude: with such a large scope, minute research, fresh perspectives and well-argued writing, DRACULAS, VAMPIRES, AND OTHER UNDEAD FORMS guarantees more than 300 pages of interesting and inspiring read which finds a perfect balance between the academic and popular writing. It is accessible, but not light; interesting, but not shallow; clever, but not self-indulgent; serious, but never boring. And most importantly, it may make you think differently about the various vampiric texts that you thought you knew well, and will certainly reveal many new ones.

FALLBROOK —— Among the scholarships that seniors in the Fallbrook Union High School District can apply for this spring are 13 awards of $1,000 each provided by the California Special Districts Association.
Three local special districts —— the Fallbrook Public Utility District, the North County Fire Protection District and the Mission Resource Conservation District —— have teamed up to try to secure at least one of the 13 scholarships for a Fallbrook student.
"This is something we do every year," Keith Lewinger, general manager of the Fallbrook utility district, explained Friday. "The special districts in Fallbrook will be reviewing the applications that come in from Fallbrook high School and making recommendations to the full selection committee on who we think are the most qualified for Fallbrook."
In applying for the award, students must submit a one-page summary of their goals and an essay that demonstrates their knowledge of special districts. The California Special Districts Association's Web site defines a special district as "a form of local government created by a local community to meet a specific need" such as water and fire protection services.
Last year, aspiring filmmaker and Fallbrook High School senior Jaclyn Ahrens was awarded the $1,000 scholarship. Ahrens' essay discussed the services that water districts provide by contrasting modern times with the daily trips to the river or the well made by locals 100 years ago.
While the three Fallbrook districts do not pay for the scholarship, they help local students by screening the applications and making a recommendation to the board responsible for administering the awards.
Applications can be picked up at Oasis, Ivy or Fallbrook high schools and are due by 5 p.m. on March 11 to the Fallbrook Public Utility District's offices.
Contact staff writer Tom Pfingsten at (760) 731-5799 or firstname.lastname@example.com .

John Gibbons asked a group of reporters around the batting cage Tuesday which team was the most important team in the American League East. He didn't wait for an answer.
"This team right here – us," the Toronto Blue Jays manager said.
Tuesday's 2-0 win over the New York Yankees at the Rogers Centre marked the first of nine games the Blue Jays have remaining against teams that are contending for the AL wild card berths. That run includes three games against the Baltimore Orioles and three to wind up the season at home against the Tampa Bay Rays.
And in this season of small mercies the Blue Jays would very much like the Boston Red Sox and former Toronto manager John Farrell to wrap up the AL East title before they get to Fenway Park on Friday. That's one celebration nobody much wants to see.
The Blue Jays (69-81) are hardly loaded to play out the string. Already without Jose Bautista (hip) and unfortunately still with J.P. Arencibia, the team announced before Tuesday's game that Edwin Encarnacion will undergo surgery for damaged cartilage in his left wrist – it was a daft idea to bring him back last week to begin with – and left-hander Brett Cecil will also be shut down, awaiting the results of an MRI exam on his elbow.
Yet, Gibbons wisely refuses to mention his team's injuries. Not when he sees what Yankees counterpart Joe Girardi has gone through. Girardi blistered his squad after it was swept by the Red Sox last weekend, calling a team meeting and then publicly stating his team "stunk" at Fenway Park.
On Tuesday, it was back to the usual grind: Finding out that reliever Boone Logan, second on the team in appearances, has a bone spur in his elbow but will pitch through it; putting down catcher Austin Romine's name on the lineup card, then making him a late scratch.
Romine suffered a concussion last week and told Girardi he felt good after some drills and concussion-related tests.
"I was under the assumption he was ready to go," the Yankees manager said with a shrug. "I should have asked him.
"The number of injuries … you just kind of get used to it," he said.
The Yankees (79-72) will be without their captain, Derek Jeter, for the rest of the season, and it seems a shame Jeter won't be at his usual shortstop position in a series that will be Mariano Rivera's final series in Toronto.
The Blue Jays will fete Rivera on Thursday, part of the closer's retirement tour. Rivera has recorded 53 of his 651 saves against the Blue Jays, and Tuesday was two years to the day in which he picked up his 601st save at the Rogers Centre – at that time, tying Trevor Hoffman for the all-time career lead.
This has been a joyous windup to a career. Rivera has arranged private meetings with fans and team employees at each stop, and has been presented with gifts such as a chair made out of broken bats and a silver broken bat sculpture – a tribute to his bread-and-butter cut fastball.
"That's God," Rivera said, more matter-of-fact than with any intent of proselytizing, when he was asked where he developed one of the game's true signature pitches. "No one taught me. It happened for a reason. That's what I attribute it to."
Rivera has also taken time during the season to talk to opposing pitchers and players – something that did not happen to him when he was breaking into the game. "I had a lot of help from the coaching staff, but not players," he said with a shrug. "Maybe back then, it was a little bit different."
No other Yankees pitcher has had Rivera save as many games for him (72) as Tuesday's starter, Andy Pettitte. But the narrative didn't materialize.
While R.A. Dickey (13-12) and two relievers held the Yankees scoreless on five hits, Colby Rasmus and Rajai Davis hit solo home runs, leaving the Yankees very much in keeping with the music that blared out of Alex Rodriguez's head-phones as he walked through the clubhouse before the game: Livin' on a Prayer.

The Wanted thank Justin Bieber's manager for saving career
The Wanted believe their decision to sign with
Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun has rescued their career.
They opted to join Braun's stable in April following a bust-up with their previous representative Jayne Collins, who brought Tom Parker, Siva Kaneswaran, Max George , Nathan Sykes and Jay McGuiness together in 2009.
At the time of their split with Collins the boy band feared their career was over, but they now think it will help them achieve even greater success.
McGuiness told the Daily Star: 'Scooter's done an amazing job and pulled us out of the sh*****.
'There was some painful stuff to go through, which I can't say too much about.
'Scooter had been sort of guiding us anyway, but we were heartbroken about what happened. I don't want to badmouth anyone, as it's not healthy to sound bitter.'
The Wanted have enjoyed success on both sides of the Atlantic over the past 18 months, with Glad You Came topping the UK chart and reaching number three in the US, and are now hoping to build on that with their third album.
It is due out in November, but their new single, I Found You, will be available to download next month.

The World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Smoking Cessation and Treatment of Tobacco Dependence was launched in Hong Kong on Monday.
This center is the first of its kind in the theme of smoking cessation.
The Department of Health was designated by the WHO to set up the center in Hong Kong which is aimed at providing evidence-based smoking cessation training for healthcare personnel; developing, testing and evaluating models of smoking cessation; supporting WHO 's initiatives on smoking cessation and assisting WHO in the dissemination of information on smoking cessation.
"The Centre could serve as a regional hub to support smoking cessation training in particular helping the Western Pacific Region and Chinese mainland.
In addition, the Centre could coordinate local training activities and engage a consortium of service providers as smoking cessation partners with the Centre," said Dr. Shin Young-soo, the Regional Director of the Western Pacific of WHO.
He pointed out that Hong Kong has one of the lowest smoking prevalence in the region. Since 1982, Hong Kong has reduced the smoking prevalence from 23 percent to 11.1 percent as a result of incremental and multi-pronged strategies including legislation, taxation, education and publicity, banning of tobacco advertisement, law enforcement and offer of smoking cessation services.
The Director of Health, Dr. P Y Lam, said, "Over the past two years, the Department of Health have trained up more than 100 healthcare personnel from Hong Kong, Macao and Chinese mainland in smoking cessation services. We also opened our doors to tobacco control personnel from the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam."
The government has always recognized the importance of tobacco control work. Additional resources have been allocated to smoking cessation and Tobacco Control Office of the Department of Health has been enhancing local services through enhancement of quit-line services, capacity building of community partners and empowerment of healthcare workers, he said.
The Centre is scheduled to commence operation later this year.

You Don'T Know How Much Someone Loves You (Just An Extremily Love Song) - Poem by MTHOKOZISI NTOKOZO MAPHUMULO
You don't know how much I think of you
Forget how I behave when I speak to you
The real property is that I love you
It was in not easy for me to tell you for the first day I love you
But Now that we have once met again, I think it a plan up in sky
There was once one or more days you didn't come
I was looking at lovers down in the shady
I think of rays in the sunshine it was not easy to forget you
So tell me
What makes you looks the way you look
I entered one of the nearest shopping – I saw the picture of lovers in the advertising magazine too
There is a reason I couldn't stop thinking of you
The lovers up in the television are dancing too.
I climbed up in the sky
I remember how to dance up like them
Young boys were skating outside
You make me become in love with the rest of world
I prayed up in the sky
You look me in the air and set up in the sky for the first time
It was
I've taken at all
Let me tell you what makes me to miss you
So tell me: there this eyes and looks like a river
It seems like you always wondering why I've never smile to you
Even if you set it to me
There's the reason – is that I love
There is the reason guys don't make mistakes
I'm hurrying up in the future train
We will talk too much on the phone
Keep on loving me
There is the reason to keep believing
Girls don't make mistake

Police are looking for a female suspect who allegedly robbed a Shoney's manager at gunpoint Sunday night in the 1900 block of South Church Street in Murfreesboro.
The unidentified woman walked into the store just after 9 p.m., put a black handgun on the counter, and demanded the manager hand over all of the money that was in the safe, according to a Murfreesboro Police Department incident report.
After the manager gave her $250 in cash, the woman left the scene on foot.
Officers arrived within moments after the robbery occurred but did not locate the suspect.
The suspect is described as a black female who was wearing a gray hooded jacket, and police believe she may have fled in a silver vehicle that was parked near an adjacent building.
Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers at 615-893-7867.
Father arrested after kids found home alone
A 25-year-old father was arrested before dawn Sunday after a repossession agent discovered one of the man's four children crying outside of a residence at Northfield Lodge Apartments in Murfreesboro.
Rodger D. Katzenmaier is accused of leaving his four children, ranging in ages from 2 to 7 years old, home alone for more than an hour while he went to another apartment to use the telephone.
He has been charged with four counts of felony child neglect in connection with the incident, which occurred Saturday at about 11 p.m. in the 600 block of East Northfield Boulevard, according to a Murfreesboro Police Department arrest report.
At the time of the incident, the children's mother was at work, and she is not facing any charges in connection with the case.
Katzenmaier is being held on a $12,000 bond at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center.
He is scheduled to appear for preliminary hearing in the case Thursday, Nov. 8, in Rutherford County General Sessions Court.
College student reports being harassed
Some of the residents living in a duplex near Middle Tennessee State University have allegedly been harassing female students as they walk from the Division Street parking lot to campus for class.
A 20-year-old woman filed a complaint Friday stating that she and a group of friends have consistently been targeted by people living in the 700 block of Crestland Avenue, according to a Murfreesboro Police Department incident report.
The woman told police the bullying began a few weeks after the fall semester began, and much of the harassment has included inappropriate comments and offensive language.
On Sept. 27, she said the situation escalated when an unidentified man made threatening statements toward the women when they did not respond to his catcalls, which has caused them to become increasingly worried for their safety.
Police have since stepped up patrols in the area, and the matter remains under investigation. The MTSU Department of Public Safety has also been notified of the situation.
Suspected dealers busted with crack
A man and woman were arrested last week on suspicion of being involved with the distribution of crack after they were allegedly caught with more than 20 grams, following an investigation by Murfreesboro detectives.
Chattanooga resident Orlando A. Watkins, 22, and 20-year-old Lynessa B. Harper, of Tullahoma, were arrested Sept. 25 when officers discovered 2 grams of crack inside their vehicle during a traffic stop on Southeast Broad Street near Saratoga Drive.
Watkins was also caught with a small bag of marijuana that was in his shirt pocket, according to Murfreesboro Police Department arrest reports.
During a subsequent search at the Police Department, a female officer found two bags of crack, which weighed 18.5 grams, hidden in Harper's buttocks.
In total, the 20.5 grams of crack, which is refined cocaine in a crystalline rock form, has an estimated street value of $3,000.
Both have since been charged with felony possession of a Schedule II substance with the intent to sale. Watkins has also been charged with possession of a Schedule VI substance in connection with the marijuana found during the traffic stop.
Watkins and Harper are scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing in the case Wednesday, Dec. 12, in Rutherford County General Sessions Court.

A blog called "Hooked On Houses" posted that:
For quicker turn-around, producers sometimes choose buyers who are already in escrow with one of the three locations shown. The other two choices that are filmed, are only shown to allow viewers the option of making the choice themselves.
Meaning that some of the people already own one of the houses they are touring "to buy!"
AVclub.com posted an article saying that participants on the show get $500 for filming and one lady named Bobi who was on the show claims:
"They won't even consider you for the show unless you already have a purchase agreement signed, and have access to both your new home and your former home for the duration of the filming period."
You can read about Bobi's experience being on the show and how fake she says it was HERE

Holly McCamant: Traditions, big or small, make the holidays unforgettable, regardless of family size
This time of year, families are all gathered together, watching television shows and checking up on every single person's relationship status.
I find it amazing how people from all over the country gather just for one holiday.
However, with our family, the traditions are a little different. Right now, our family consists of my parents, three dogs, one cat and me. You would think that we would join up with some nearby family, like just about everyone else in this part of Minnesota. The reason why we typically don't is because we don't have any.
My dad's family lives out west, but traveling 14 hours out to Montana in bad conditions is rough. So most of the time, we chose not to brave the conditions for a less stressful Christmas back at home.
Since my dad's family lives out in the west, it only makes sense that my mom's family lives in the exact opposite direction. I only remember one time when I was little that I was over there for Christmas. This is because plane tickets over there aren't that easy to get, and because my parents aren't up for driving a straight day and night.
Even if my family was willing to get plane tickets or spend a long 24 hours in the car, it probably wouldn't work out, since as a RN, my mom's work schedule is uncertain and planning with that contingency can be kind of difficult.
So, just about every year, our family ends up staying right here. However, it's a little different for us. Most families get together to sit around and eat. In our family, everyone has to get exercise.
My dad and I spent Christmas Eve cross country skiing. My parents spent Christmas day skiing, again. The day after Christmas, my dad and I headed out on a run. The dogs insist that they be exercised too, so we do a fair amount of skijoring (cross country skiing with dogs) too.
Even Curry, our cat, gets impatient and starts climbing on the table when it's too cold to go outside.
On Christmas Day, we get out and go to Christmas at Our House at our church to help deliver meals. At First Lutheran, every year we hold this big meal so that no one should have to eat Christmas dinner alone.
Even if someone can't come to the church, we deliver meals, so that the people can still have a dinner. This is what my dad and I and many other volunteers from our church choose to do. We may be away from our biological family, but we have one right here in Detroit Lakes.
The rest of our holiday we'll ski and run some more, maybe watch a few Christmas movies. I am happy to say that my dad's birthday is the Monday a few days before this will be read. I don't know what we will do for New Year's, as we don't exactly have a family tradition besides my mom telling my dad and I that it's not necessary to stay up until midnight.
Sometimes I wish I had a big family, but it wouldn't be the same. Having a small family is part of who I am. I just know that I won't be spending this Christmas vacation alone.

'A lot of content with so little time" is what Trace TV is going to make you feel this year. Both the music and the sport channels have upped their game and announced that great things are coming your way in a matter of days.
First on the list, to get every music lover's attention, Trace is running a Trace Mobile Song Contest where you call in on a given number and sing a particular song for one minute. If you catch the judges' attention you will be eligible to win a record deal, some cash, the production and promotion of a music video and a coaching session with the great Senegalese-American musician, Akon.
You could be the next big thing if you were to win, so check out www.trace.tv for further details.
But if singing is not your thing, perhaps watching people who can get accolades for their talents is more up your alley.
For the first time, Trace is holding the Trace Music Video Awards which will honour the best names in hip hop and R&B. Africa is represented in two awards categories which are Best African and Tropical Artists. The awards are set to take place in May in the City of Love, Paris.
Have you ever listened to a song you like and not had internet access to search for the lyrics and found yourself humming instead of singing along? Well, Trace understands your plight and starting from next month you can watch Hits & Lyrics, a show that plays your favourite tunes with the lyrics.
It's like doing karaoke at home so you can have friends over and have a mini-Idols show. There are smartphone apps like Shazam that can detect a song and search for the lyrics, but this is much cooler as you don't have to lift a finger.
Still on Trace Music, our very own DJ Nutty Nys takes his DJ skills from audio to video as he shares some interesting video mixes on the new show, DJ Nutty Show.
Also scheduled for next month, the show will take the latest music videos and seamlessly join them together the way they do it at the club. Yet another party at your home costing you nothing but your DStv subscription.
Moving on to the sports side, a lot of things have been lined up for you. To start off is the Atherton Project (pictured), a docu-reality series that shows the private lives of the world's most famous biking family. We ride with them through the race season and also take some down time to understand the dynamics of the family.
Planet Oval is, predictably, an all-rugby affair. Trace invites you to celebrate the Six Nations Cup when it goes into the exclusive post-match celebration for five nights. Catch it from March 1 and every night after that at 9pm.
Then, finally, Winner's Circle should take many people's fancy. The show seeks out the most extraordinary achievers and their success stories. This is the type of show that would have gone to Lance Armstrong and Marion Jones, but since they cheated their way to the top, they will not be considered. Look out for the 22-episode season from April.
This is just a round-up of the plans Trace has in the first season, but the viewing will only get better. Visit www.trace.tv

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
Throughout his governorship, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, has had a history of faux pas when it comes to racial matters.
Most recently, he has refused to condemn a proposal to honor Nathan Bedford Forrest, the former Confederate general and leader of the Ku Klux Klan, with a license plate. Forrest led the 1864 massacre of Black Union troops at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, but is celebrated by some as a great military strategist. The local NAACP chapter has denounced the move, as have other progressive forces in the state. Thus far, Gov. Barbour, who's never been ashamed of his "Southern heritage," has yet to join the NAACP in their denouncement of the proposal, and it remains to be seen if he will.
Barbour, a contender for the Republican nomination for the 2012 presidential election, has also made controversial statements concerning the White Citizen's Council. Barbour told the Weekly Standard, "Up north they think it was like the KKK. Where I come from it was an organization of town leaders."
While the White Citizen's Council wasn't known to don white sheets and go out and lynch Black people, their use of economic and political pressure was just as effective as their more violent counterparts in the Klan. To his credit, Barbour tried to distance himself from the remarks, claiming that his quotes were taken out of context.
He has also callously dismissed criticism of Virginia's celebration of Confederate History Month, which made no mention of slavery, as "no big deal." It doesn't take a Ph.D. in history to know that slavery was a key issue for the Confederacy. I learned that in elementary history class.
Keep in mind that this man may be the Republican nominee for president in 2012. Given his lack of historical memory and seemingly racial insensitivity, should he be president? In the immortal words of Homie the Clown: I don't think so!

Reckitt Benckiser (RB) notes that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has denied a Citizen's Petition filed by the RB Pharmaceuticals business (RBP). In the Citizen's Petition, RBP presented a new evaluation of paediatric exposure data and recommended that the FDA adopt more stringent packaging standards and increased educational interventions to help reduce the number of children exposed to buprenorphine-containing products used to treat opioid dependence. The FDA concluded that the safety data presented by RB Pharmaceuticals did not warrant these additional measures, deciding instead that existing labelling and safety programmes were sufficient.
RBP is disappointed with the decision but will continue to work with the FDA on safety enhancements. RBP remains committed to maintaining its own high level standards for safety, including the use of child resistant, unit-dose packaging for its buprenorphine-based opioid dependence treatment products. It will therefore carry on with the decision to discontinue the sale of its loose tablet bottles of SUBOXONE in the United States in favour of other effective treatment options that have shown reduced paediatric exposure rates.
In the communication from the FDA, RBP was also informed that two unnamed manufacturers have now received approval to produce generic SUBOXONE Tablets buprenorphine and naloxone) Sublingual (CIII) in the US. The details of these manufacturers' proposed safety programmes have not been provided.
About RBP
RBP is a pioneer in the development of innovative prescription treatments for the chronic diseases of addiction and introduced SUBOXONE Film (buprenorphine and naloxone) Sublingual (CIII) in 2010 as a next generation product with enhanced features, including unit-dose, child resistant packaging. This was in response to patient and provider feedback and reports of misuse, abuse, diversion and pediatric exposure associated with the buprenorphine and naloxone tablets. RBP remains confident in the value and benefits of SUBOXONE Film as the product is a significant advancement in product technology.

Colossal Pistachios
January 3, 2014
I have not heard back yet from either of the relatives to whom this was sent. However, were I on the receiving end of such a lovely sized jar of those beautiful pistachios, I'd have been delighted as I'm sure so, too, were our loved ones. (Both relatives live in Washington state.) Thanks for an alternative to a burlap bag ... not a bad idea, but the jar just adds class.
Pros:I loved that the pistachios could be viewed through the glass jar and the fact that they were lightly salted, as well.
Cons:This is not about dissatisfaction but, perhaps, this gift could be decorated with a red bow to designate its being a Christmas gift ... just a thought. The green in the nuts certainly contributes to a Christmassy appearance!

delicious pastachios
December 14, 2011
the presentation of pastachios in its lovely container makes a beautiful gift especially when you need something that numerous people can partake of. I always make it a point to bring pastachios to our doctors office at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone there can have them and they are nutricious and entirely appropriate for everyone. While a bit on the expensive side, they were really lovely to give.

(DAMASCUS, Syria) — An opposition group is accusing the Syrian government of war atrocities after the bodies of dozens of men were reportedly pulled from a river in the northern city of Aleppo.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it received an amateur video showing the corpses of men between the ages of 20 and 30 being taken from the water and placed in a truck.
According to the group, the victims were killed execution-style with gunshots to the head.
So far, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says that less than 20 of the victims have been identified with the death toll expected to go as high as 80.
The Syrian government has not responded to the video of what appears to be a summary execution.
Throughout the two-year conflict, human rights groups have accused both sides of wanton killings of civilians.
At least 60,000 people have died in Syria since the government crackdown on pro-democracy forces began in March 2011.

More TomKat Baby News
Star magazine must have amazing intel if they have this "scoop" already. Katie may have been in tears, but she probably couldn't say anything about it due to the whole silent birth thing.
"The child weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 inches in length. Both mother and daughter are doing well." Suri was born in an L.A.-area hospital – just down the hall from where Brooke Shields gave birth to her daughter Grier on the same day.
The birth went so smoothly that Holmes left the hospital within 24 hours. Holmes, Cruise and baby Suri are back home now and doing well. Suri "has lots and lots of dark hair and big, blue eyes," says a source close to Holmes's family. "She's going to be a beautiful baby."
Adds Cruise's friend Kirstie Alley: "Tom does everything 150 percent, and fatherhood he does 300 percent. They're going to have a great kid."
This new refutes an earlier report that Tom Cruise built a hospital room for Katie, and that she was going to give birth at home.
I'm eagerly awaiting what Anne Archer, Jenna Elfman, John Travolta, Isaac Hayes, Giovanni Ribisi, Greta Van Susteren, Catherine Bell, Jason Lee, Danny Masterson, Leah Remini, and Juliette Lewis have to say about the birth of their savior?

Rattlers open their season on the road in Chesapeake against the 2010 MLL champion BayhawksRochester returns to Major League Lacrosse this Saturday night, May 14 that 7PM, when the Rattlers visit the 2010 MLL Champion Chesapeake Bayhawks at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland. The last time the Rattlers were in Major League Lacrosse Rochester won the 2008 MLL championship, but never had the chance to defend the title because the team moved out of town after the season. Last November Rob Clark, the Owner and CEO of the Adirondack Sports Club LLC, announced that the Chicago Machine would be moving to Rochester, New York and operating as the Rochester Rattlers for the 2011 MLL season.
Second-year attacker Ned Crotty will feature for the Rattlers this weekend. Crotty had an incredible year in 2010 that saw him: become the first player selected in the MLL Draft, win a national championship with the Duke Blue Devils, win a gold medal with Team USA in the World Lacrosse Championships, and win the Cascade MLL Rookie of the Year award. He finished the season with 11 goals and 13 assists for the Chicago Machine. Veteran Matt Striebel will look to support Crotty from the midfield. Striebel has won three MLL championships and one MLL Championship game MVP in his ten-year career. He joined Crotty on the gold medal winning Team USA in the 2010 World Lacrosse Championships. Striebel posted 12 goals and 5 assists for the Chicago Machine last season.
The Chesapeake Bayhawks just announced a trade involving their 2010 leading scorer, Peet Poilon, this week. Poilon was traded to the Denver Outlaws for midfielder Dan Hardy. Hardy was the 2009 Cascade MLL Rookie of the Year. He recorded 15 goals and 14 assists for 29 points last season with the Outlaws. Hardy joins a strong core of players as the Bayhawks look to defend the Steinfeld Trophy in 2011. Kyle Dixon (M) and Danny Glading (A) return to lead the Bayhawks attack. Dixon led Major League Lacrosse in two-point goals last year with 11 and finished fifth in scoring with 37 points while Glading finished the 2010 season with 15 goals and 11 assists.
The Rattlers return to Rochester on Saturday, May 21 st, 2011 at 7PM when they host the Long Island Lizards at Sahlen's Stadium. The Rattlers will take advantage of the home opener to celebrate their 2008 MLL Championship. Rochester fans will receive a free magnet schedule for the 2011 Rattlers season. Local band 50/50 will be having a pre-game concert at the stadium starting at 5:30PM. Admission to the concert is free with a ticket to the Rattlers game. There will also be a fireworks display. Tickets are available at www.rochesterrattlers.com or by calling the Sahlen's Stadium box office at 585.454.5425.
TelevisionThe game can be seen live on Time Warner Cable Sports Channel 26 in the Rochester television market.
ESPN3Viewers outside the Rochester market can catch Major League Lacrosse action all season long on ESPN3.com. On Saturday May 14 thESPN3 will be carrying the Rochester Rattlers game against the Chesapeake Bayhawks live from the Navy Marine Corps Stadium in Annapolis, MD at 7PM.
Rochester lacrosse fans can also catch a glimpse of Rattlers draftee and Rochester native Grant Catalino with the Maryland Terrapins in their first round match up against the University of North Carolina at 1PM Sunday, May 15 thon ESPN3. .

I am a theoretical physicist, so I'd thought I'd add something. This question "if the result of my deliberation is already fixed, what is the point in deliberating?" goes all the way back, it's not directly related to new physics. It's the kind of thing discussed by philosophers rather than physicists; if you look up "free will" on wikipedia you will see the tip of this enormous iceberg. People have some up with some pretty good arguments to the effect that moral deliberation and a fixed future ("determinism") are compatible.
As a physicist the block universe is sometimes a useful mental picture, but we play fast and loose with such pictures all the time and rarely worry about any philosophical consequences that they might have; we know that all our "models" are only feeble attempts to understand what is really going on anyway. As a moral person, moral decisions seem to me to stand on their own two feet; if some philosophical argument tells me not to act, it must be wrong, end of story.

Photo of the Week - Sen. Smith with Apache
State Sen. Malcolm A. Smith welcomed Cowboy "Curly" Hall to Jump & Ball on Saturday, Aug. 17, where he perfomed a western show much to the delight of the children in attendance. Here, Sen. Smith spends some quality time with horse, Apache.
"It was wonderful to see the children's faces light up as they got to interact with the horses and learn western rope tricks," Smith said. "I would like to thank Curly for volunteering his time. It made the day extra special."
Curly, who often volunteers him time to entertain children at various community events, received a proclamation from Smith honoring him for his good work.

i got the temp on the top of the stove to stay around 300. when I fill it all the way up it drops to about 200 or a little less. I do have a blower on it. my airflow isnt the best in the house. I have 2 floors above the basement and no vents cut yet. (thats another project) the stoves air is aimed directly at the central located stairs and I leave the door open. I can feel the heat exchange in the stairs, hot coming up the top and cool going down the bottom. its about 80 in the basement, 65 first floor and 60 on the second. (very comfortable sleeping, for me anyway) the stairs to the second floor are open so I cant realy block that off to change the airflow. its 34 outside right now.
im basically just "salting" the fire every hour or 2 to keep the stove at 300. still learning...... my first vent whenever I get around to it is probably gonna be in a remote corner on the first floor with a fan pulling cool air to the basement.

hi , we just brought home our new dog 2 days ago and the cat still wont come near her. she hides upstairs and if someone is careless near the door, she bolts and stays out for hours. she is 2 years old (born at home!) and lived with a dog her whole life till our sweet old lady died a few weeks ago at the age of 13. i know they will get along eventually, but i don't want her to run away thinking we love the new dog more or something - maybe she's not capable of that kind of logic, i don't know.....
any advice to make it go more smoothly is appreciated!
also, any ideas on how to get new dog (nomi) to listen better to dd. (age 11) nomi is smart, seems to know quite a few commands already and we are working on leash training and hand commands but she seems to ignore dd everytime while she will listen to dh and i the first time asked.
also...(sorry!) any idea if you can teach a dog to fetch? nomi has no interest in any toys or balls but we loved excersing our last dog by throwing a stick or a ball 50 times - man, she was a good girl, miss her terribly........but new dog, new beginning, if she wont fetch then we will do other stuff with her....
thanks! trina
We had our 2 cats for a year before getting a dog, but our cats spent their first 3 months living on a farm with multiple animals, including dogs. I figured they wouldn't have a problem adjusting, but they did. They were the opposite of yours though - they were very aggressive toward our dog. He's over 60 lbs, yet would cower when the cats growled and postured (backs arched, fur fluffed). We've had him for two months now and the cats only occasionally growl, for the most part the dog has learned to ignore them. I don't think they will ever love each other, but they tolerate each other.
Our dog doesn't fetch either, and I don't know if there is a way to teach him. He is more interested in playing with people and other dogs than with objects. I've wondered how much of it is in the breed, what they instinctively tend to do. Each dog is different.
My dog doesn't listen to my kids either, he only obeys me. My son can yell sometimes and the dog will stop doing whatever it was he was doing, but my daughter treats him like a baby and he has no respect for her. I think he sees her as a puppy, not a master to listen to. I've tried telling her it's in how she talks to him. Instead of giving commands, she will get down on his level and say in a high pitched, sweet voice, "Now come here, let's do this. Come on boy..." and of course he has no reason to take her seriously. If she'd sit or stand straight up, look him in the eye, and say a one word command in a firm voice, he'd be more inclined to obey her instead of just "playing" with her. She's 11 years old, but doesn't seem to understand this. She can't walk him on a leash either because he pulls her and she can't control him.

Some who have visited the FHC in the last few months may have seen an unusual art piece in the courtyard between the two hangars. The "sculpture" is actually the right wing of a North American F-86 fighter. It's an appropriate object for the area. From 1951 to 1968, portions of Paine Field served as an Air Defense Command (ADC) facility. At Paine Air Force Base, jet interceptors stood at the ready, on constant alert status to protect the region from Cold War threats. The first all-weather ADC aircraft to be based at Paine was the radar-equipped F-86D, nicknamed the "Sabre Dog" by pilots.

A request to name Dublin's Millennium Spire in honour of the late former South African President Nelson Mandela has been rejected by a City Council committee.
The Commemorative Naming Committee considered the request made by a member of the public on the basis that the Spire is close to Dunnes Stores on Henry Street where the anti-apartheid boycott took place in the 1980s.
But the suggestion was turned down by the committee at Wednesday's meeting because it was a specific part of the original Spire project that it would not be named in someone's honour.
"It is not there to honour an individual; it's there to honour the city and project a symbol of the future of the city," said Chairman of the Committee Councillor Dermot Lacey.
It was pointed out that Nelson Mandela had not been dead for 20 years, which is a requirement for naming a monument in someone's honour. The committee also has a policy of not renaming existing structures.
But Councillor Lacey said the committee felt it would be appropriate to honour Nelson Mandela in some way and has referred the matter to the Central Area Committee to see if some area around Henry Street could be dedicated in his honour.
Nelson Mandela was made a Freeman of Dublin City in 1988. Following his release from prison in February 1990, he flew to Ireland to accept the honour in person.

Step aside, John A. Wilson Building: The federal courthouse is poised to become the ground zero of District politics on Wednesday and Thursday as several key players in ongoing corruption probes appear in court.
Prosecutors could hint at the standing of the long-running investigation of D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray's 2010 campaign when Thomas Gore, the campaign's assistant treasurer, appears for a status hearing.
Gore pleaded guilty in May to destroying evidence and making illegal campaign contributions to Sulaimon Brown, a minor mayoral candidate who alleged the Gray campaign promised him cash and a job in exchange for his agreement to remain in the contest and attack Adrian Fenty, the incumbent.
Wednesday's appearance will be his second status hearing since he entered his plea, and it could lead to Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who is overseeing the criminal cases involving the Gray campaign, setting a sentencing date.
She has not scheduled sentencing in the past because prosecutors have said the case is ongoing.
A spokesman for U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen Jr. declined to comment Tuesday.
A civil suit that helped spur a grand jury investigation into the handling of the D.C. lottery contract is also on Wednesday's docket.
Lawyers for Eric Payne, a former District contracting officer who claims he was fired for resisting political pressure linked to the lottery deal, will try to persuade a judge to release records from an internal city investigation.
The District has long sought to keep those records shielded from public view, arguing that they contain information from a "confidential source," but Payne has said he thinks the city is covering up for misconduct by Ward 1 Councilman Jim Graham.
Graham has denied any wrongdoing, as have other city officials linked to the lottery contract.
The District said Monday it would not oppose releasing some of the documents -- namely two reports written by a former internal affairs official -- but would still seek to block the disclosure of other records.
"The other investigative documents... have never been released to the public and thus remain confidential," the District wrote in a court filing, even though some of those records appeared online last week.
Another significant political corruption probe -- an investigation of former D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown's 2008 campaign -- will lead Brown's brother, Che, to plead guilty Thursday to a single count of bank fraud.
Authorities began reviewing Brown's finances after a city audit of Kwame Brown's campaign detected financial irregularities. The federal probe ultimately led to Kwame Brown pleading guilty in June to bank fraud and campaign finance charges and prompted his resignation.
But Che Brown's lawyer, Scott Bolden, said he doesn't think his client will be charged with any crimes relating to campaign corruption.
"Che Brown was charged with bank fraud -- not campaign finance fraud or theft or anything remotely related to his role in his brother's political campaigns," Bolden said.

black screen/unresponsive system after boot messages (or after startx)
note: this is on a desktop.
Yesterday, I was updating about 60-70 packages on my debian squeeze system and after it was finished, it requested a reboot.
A few minutes later I attempted to reboot. Now usually, in the reboot process, my monitor would displays a bunch of console messages (sending all processes blablabla etc). This time, before seeing those messages, my screen just turned black (backlight still on).
I waited a few minutes but the computer was just frozen. Pressing num lock or caps lock didn't do anything to the keyboard LEDs. So... I decided to hold down the power button to force the computer down and then boot again.
I tried to boot into debian again. Everything was normal except the boot message showed some stuff about fsck and recovering from the journal (which i guess is the result of a forced shutdown)... and then after it says "starting gnome display manager" and another line after that, the black screen comes again so i do another forced shutdown
this is roughly what I've done after that:
backup some files with my knoppix live usb
umount / + fsck --- that didn't do anything.
look through dmesg and other files in /var/log --- haven't found anything interesting yet. the x log files are completely empty.
boot into debian's single-user mode --- that worked fine.
startx in single-user mode --- black screen again.
while in black screen, ctrl alt + f123456/backspace --- no response.
I changed the driver in xorg.conf from "fglrx" to "ati" and now the system's alive... which means fglrx is broken somehow.
Last week I had to rebuild the fglrx module due to an upgrade to x-server. After that it was peachy again.

Adam Smith in His Time and Ours:
Counter to the popular impression that Adam Smith was a champion of selfishness and greed, Jerry Muller shows that the Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations maintained that markets served to promote the well-being of the populace and that government must intervene to counteract the negative effects of the pursuit of self-interest. Smith's analysis went beyond economics to embrace a larger "civilizing project" designed to create a more decent society.
"A profoundly erudite and timely study."--John Gray, National Review
"Muller's great accomplishment in this book is to present a clear, thoughtful, and engaging overview of Adam Smith's thought. He reveals Smith to be a wide-ranging and innovative thinker who formulated a comprehensive social science."--Peter McNamara, The Review of Politics
"Jerry Muller has written an extraordinarily good book on the most quoted and least read of the worldly philosophers."--Robert Heilbroner, Author of The Worldly Philosophers
"A good work of intellectual history should exemplify two qualities above all: an imagination that allows the author to 'pass over' into the horizon of his subject in order to see the world as the subject sees it; and a sympathy such as to gain a feel for the world of the subject. . . . Like Adam Smith, his subject, intellectual historian Jerry Muller exemplifies these traits to an exceptional degree."--Michael Novak, First Things

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Review by AceFrehley03
"A game destined to be a classic..."
The first Grand Theft Auto game I've ever picked up was GTA3. A friend got it, so we pretty much stayed up all night doing nothing but playing that. The graphics were only half-way decent, and the sounds were livable, but the gameplay is what brought the game out for me. It was literally a city that you could do anything in. Except for one small thing, I thought the game was perfect. The dodo was too much of a pain to fly.
I never did get GTA3 because by the time I played it word of Vice City was starting to get around... motorcycles, helicopters, miniguns, boats, everything. I got it the day it came out and I still don't regret that. It's the one game that I don't think will ever get old, so here's my review.
Graphics = 9/10
The graphics in this game are definately not that bad, but they're not as perfect as they could be with how much time was spent on this game. Jagged lines are still present, and the frame rate can go haywire at certain times, but they're still greatly improved over GTA3's, as they're much brighter and somewhat easier on the eyes.
Tunes = 10/10
One of the coolest features of Grand Theft Auto 3: Vice City is the fact that it has all real songs with the exception of a few, and they're all good to somebody. I find myself listening to VROCK or Flash 105 (For one song, ''Last Night a DJ Saved My Life'', lol.) Absolutely no complaints here. The musics great, and the talk radio is hilarious.
Other Sound Effects = 10/10
I've actually heard some very mixed things about this but I've never had any problems with the sound effects. They're not blurred or anything odd like that, and the random one liners from pedestrians keep this game lively.
Gameplay = 10/10
Ah, gameplay. The true staple of any gamer's breakfast. This game doesn't fall short here the slightest bit. There is just about an infinite amount of things to do in Vice City. You can ride bikes, rally cars, fly helicopters, drive boats, even street race or participate in a destruction derby. This game has a higher replay value then your husband/wife.
Story = 9/10
Well, you're a crime lord and you're trying to overtake a city. Not much else to it. To find out the twists you'll just have to play the game. :D.
Replay Value = 10/10
Already discussed this, but yeah. It's almost infinite.
Rent or buy?
Buy. There's no way you can complete this game without renting it for a month, needless to say get the full enjoyment out of it.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

June 22, 2013 - Ryan Nelsen following scoreless draw v. Houston Dynamo.
Toronto FC head coach Ryan Nelsen never lost faith in his club during an 11-game winless streak that stretched from the middle of March to the beginning of June. Now it looks like he is being rewarded for his patience and belief.
INTERVIEWS: Nelsen | Bendik | Brockie | O'Dea | Osorio | Caldwell | Henry
HIGHLIGHTS: Reds' Slick Passing | First Half Chances | Caldwell Keeps It Out | Kia Game In Six
Now unbeaten in three matches in June, Toronto earned a well-deserved road point via a scoreless draw against the Houston Dynamo at arguably the most unforgiving venue in the league Saturday evening.
"In June, July and August their record is absolutely ridiculous and [Houston] is such a hard place to play at this time of year," Nelsen told MLSsoccer.com. "All 14 of our players had to stand up and show a lot of mental strength and character. Obviously, physically they had to absorb pretty hostile conditions and they all did that. I am extremely proud of them."
June continues to be a month of firsts for Nelsen and Toronto FC. After earning their first road win of the year against D.C. United last weekend, TFC earned their first clean sheet of the season with the draw against the Dynamo.
According to Nelsen, that clean sheet was not only a long time coming, it was also indicative of his belief that his squad have turned a page with their recent performances."I think with our performances over the course of the season we should have had four or five clean sheets by now," Nelsen said. "I think we have been putting in pretty good defensive performances and nobody has really run over the top of us in any game. However, those performances have to result in points and we have to turn them into product."
"I think the guys can really grow from this result," Nelsen added. "They have always had belief, but it is good that their belief and their performances are now turning into points."
In addition to earning five points in their last three matches, Toronto finally look like a side that has overcome the defensive jitters that often saw them conceding late goals leading to dropped points earlier in the season.In Nelsen's estimation, the most important thing that he had to do during that challenging run of fixtures was to stay the course and stick to his overall plan with respect to rebuilding Toronto FC.
"A lot of it was a bit of bad luck and maybe a lack of belief from some players not having been in those types of positions much," Nelsen said. "I said at the time when it was going on that in a short amount of time I wouldn't be asked questions [about conceding late goals]."
"There hadn't been stability here at the whole club. When there are long-term problems, there are no short-term solutions. You have to have a long-term mindset and patience and fortitude. And you have to have belief in what we are doing."
