Hey there.  I’ve only had this blog up about a day and I’ve gotten some hits, which surprised me.  I’d love to get some more readers and some feedback on how I’m doing so far with this blog and what you all would like to see in the future.  This blog is only as good as it’s content. If i’m not putting up news and information that you want to read, it’s kind of pointless, right?

So, I’m asking and encouraging you all to please leave comments, emails, anything at all.  I’m even going to set up an instant messenger account (either on Yahoo or Skype) for those of you that would like to talk to me directly and exchange ideas. I would really appreciate the feedback.  Constructive criticism is always welcome as well.

Thanks everyone!

**Update!!!** – New pics have been released as well as bit more info.  As I guessed, the new A8 using Audi’s aluminum space frame and there will also be a turbo direct injection (TDI) version coming.!!

I was never aware of the Audi A8 until I saw Transporter 2.   I loved it because it was just a big slab of luxury sedan.  Well, Frank Martin, I wouldn’t worry about the cost of repairing your A8 after Transporter 3.  Just save your dollars.

I haven’t heard too many details about this car yet other than the drivetrain, but I will assume that it’s riding on an the same  frame as the outgoing 2004 – 2010 A8.  It’ll have adaptive magnetic suspension and…ya know what? Screw that boring stuff. Let’s get to it.

Audi is keeping the 4.2 liter V8 as the base engine, but they’ve done some fiddling with it and have pumped up the ponies to 372 instead of the previous 350.  Hook that up to an all new 8 speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode  and you should get a 0 – 60 sprint of about 5.7 seconds, says Audi.

As for the exterior, I do miss the understated nature of the 2010 model, but I do prefer the looks of this to one of it’s competitors, the all new BMW 7 series.   there’s more creases here and there, more interesting lines in this place…although i’m not entirely sure i like the  shape of the LEDs in the headlights though.  But, from a front on view, I love the way the car looks at you.  It’s the same look as the retiring model, just new clothes on.

Direct competitors would be the aforementioned BMW 7 seres as well as the Mercedes S550.  That said, it’s not looking like the new A8 is going to much of a match for either of them — at least where performance is concerned.  372bhp is a good number, as is the 328 ft-lbs -o-torque, but the Merc and Beamer both put out more horses and torques.

But do I really care that much?  Nope, not really.  I’ve never been a huge fan of the looks of the S550 and i’m not crazy about BMW’s new design language.  I’d take the new A8, but I want more power. Don’t get me wrong, 5.7 seconds ain’t bad, but you guys know you can do better.  Bring back the w12 and we’ll talk….or at least offer a new S8?

**Check the overview video below!!**

Makes me wanna drop out of college and be a transporter.

The regular wheelbase is actually longer than that of the Merc S550 and BMW 7 series. The new A8 also offers up 21 inch rims.

Check out his arse!

Dude!!! Tell me that's not boss!!

The shifter looks more like the throttle in an aircraft!!!

Quite the just-like-old-times performance for the Sharks in their 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. The Sharks roster finally looked like it should be with a couple exceptions. And with the added aspect of facing former Sharks, Christian Ehrhoff and Steve Bernier, it was a reunion of sorts.

Got to mention the injuries, returns and transactions. Devin Setoguchi and Rob Blake returned to the lineup tonight; Benn Ferriero and Jason Demers were sent down to Worcester because of that. Of course this was Torrey Mitchell’s second game back so he’s still getting used to NHL-level speed.

Jody Shelley and Brad Staubitz are still out with injuries, so Frazer McLaren played on the fourth line. Derek Joslin retained his spot on the defense upon Demers’ reassignment.

OK so the game — a slow back-and-forth game. One team would control for 10 minutes, then things would switch. Vancouver got on the board early in the first and controlled the play. McLaren scored his first NHL goal to tie things up before the first ended. He took a big hit behind the goal-line but stayed on his feet and kept his stick on the ice. Joe Pavelski found him and it was an easy tip-in. Glad to see Frazer add his name to the list of first-time scorers this season; Ferriero, McLaren, Demers, Logan Couture and Ryan Vesce all have scored their first NHL goal so far this season.

The Sharks dominated the second period, outshooting Vancouver 15-4; however, they only managed one goal, which came from Dan Boyle on the power play. It was a cool goal to watch on the replay because you saw how much Boyle moves on the man-advantage. One second he would be up high at the point, five seconds later he was down low. Always keeps his skates moving in a very fluid motion.

Captain Rob Blake made his return against Vancouver (From SJSHARKS.com)

San Jose backed off during the last frame but withstood a fierce Canucks forecheck. The Sharks capitalized on a counterattack, as Manny Malhotra deked — yes deked — goalie Roberto Luongo fairly easily. Thirteen seconds later Jamie McGinn notched his fourth goal of the season after Jed Ortmeyer battled beyond the goal line and sent the puck to the crease.

Let’s go back to the decision to send Demers down to Worcester. Coach Todd McClellan cited bad play in the defensive zone as the reason for the reassignment. Demers and Joslin were battling for the final defenseman spot with Rob Blake returning and T-Mac said Joslin played better over the last 10 games. Demers has definitely not played up to par lately. I think back to last game where Demers attempted a stretch pass only to have it intercepted and turned into an Edmonton goal.

T-Mac said before he likes how Demers takes risks, and now he’s going back on that? I don’t get it. Demers is clearly learning from Boyle how to be an offensive threat and doing a pretty good job at it. He has one goal and 12 assists in 27 games. He’s been one of the league’s most surprising rookies and you choose Joslin over Demers? I’m sorry, but this is a dumb move by T-Mac. Joslin is a joke of a player and isn’t going to amount to anything.

Perhaps it will help Demers not to play with Kent Huskins and actually someone good down in Worcester. Huskins was on the power play tonight again. Stop doing that T-Mac. Just stop. Demers needs to be on the power play and Huskins needs to be sent down. No one will claim him off waivers.

Other Notes

Hit-O-Meter: SJ 16  VAN 14; Jamie McGinn (4) and Devin Setoguchi (3) led the team.

The Sharks wrap up November with a 9-2-3 record and are the first team to reach 40 points.

All eyes will be on San Jose on Tuesday when the Sharks battle the Ottawa Senators. Dany Heatley versus his ex-girlfriend. Should be good.

Waterloo’s relentless forecheck kept the Hurricanes on their heals most of the night and this created many scoring chances for the Siskins in their 4-2 win over the Guelph Thursday night at The Sleeman Centre.

Guelph's Martin Kudla battles Waterloo's Kevin Henriques for the puck

Except for 10 minutes in the 2^nd period, the Siskins were aggressive in taking the play to the Hurricanes.  

If it wasn’t for the stellar goaltending by Chris McDougall who turned away 40 of 44 shots, the score of this game could have easily mirrored the score in their last outing when Waterloo beat Guelph 8-0.

In the opening period, Waterloo fired 24 shots at McDougall and jumped out to a 3-0 lead on goals by Scott Nagy, Ryan Dilks and Andrew Csumrik.

Tyson Theaker pulled the Hurricanes within 2 with a goal 17 seconds into the second period.

Waterloo’s Tony Blyde restored the Siskin’s 3 goal lead 2 and a half minutes later.

The score stayed 4-1 until Peter Soligo scored on shot from the point after Siskins goalie Will Sibley stopped Nic MacEachern and Mike McFarlane on a 2 on 0.

The Hurricanes pulled their goalie late in the game but couldn’t get another one past Sibley.

Final Score: Waterloo (now 18-5-0) 4, Guelph (now 8-16-2) 2

The Hurricanes take to the road for their next 2 games, Saturday in Cambridge and Sunday in Elmira.

Guelph’s next home game will be next Thursday December 3^rd against the league leading Brantford Golden Eagles. Game time is 7:45 pm.

Nintendo revealed its next iteration of the Nintendo DSi titled the DSi LL at its press event in Tokyo today.

The newly announced portable gaming console features a 4.2″ screen and will be available for purchase in Japan, November 21st. The DSi LL will be available in Dark Brown, Wine Red and Natural White. It will also come pre-bundled with three DSiWare titles.

The redesign comes at the request of customers who said they wanted a larger screen, and the screen is a 93 percent increase over the DS Lite’s screen size — the number of pixels is the same, however. The DSi LL is geared for those who want to use their Nintendo handheld for internet and as a music player as the larger screen is able to display letters and characters in a bigger font.

Update: The DSi LL will arrive in North America and Europe in the first quarter of 2010.

El Madrid ganó y mejoró anteriores actuaciones. Los blancos tuvieron en Raúl a su bastión atacante. Xabi Alonso fue el mejor de su equipo. La mala noticia, la escasa aportación de Benzema. El Valladolid, digno rival, pudo arañar un punto.

Comenzaba el partido y uno, acostumbrado a tostones infumables en los últimos partidos del Madrid, se frotaba los ojos. Ya no porque los blancos llevaran peligro a la portería del Valladolid, algo normal, sino porque el equipo blanco se presentaba ordenado y con mucho más criterio del habitual.

La primera ocasión, con un pase de Van der Vaart a la entrada de Benzema llegaba cuando aún no había transcurrido un minuto de partido. La segunda, un saque de falta perfecto de Granero que se pasea por delante de la portería, cuando aún no se había cumplido el minuto tres. Así, a nadie le extrañó que en el 18 el Madrid ganara 2-0 y sentenciara el partido. Ambos goles, por cierto, fueron obra de Raúl González. El homenajeado aprovechó dos grandes pases, de Granero primero y del repudiado Marcelo después. Por fin los blancos cuajaban un buen partido y su público lo agradecía.

Pero fútbol es fútbol, y sin merecerlo, el Valladolid se metió en el partido con una jugada a balón parado. Un golazo de falta de los pucelanos les metía de lleno en un partido que hasta el momento se encaminaba irremediablemente a una goleada local.

El gol pareció descolocar a los blancos. No entendían que pudiera haber pasado, les habían dado de su propia medicina. Sin embargo los blancos, que tardaron unos minutos en recomponerse, lograron recuperar el mando y con él las ocasiones. Van der Vaart pudo poner el tercero antes del descanso, pero sería Marcelo el encargado de hacer subir el 3-1 al marcador con un golazo que el brasileño necesitaba.Tras recuperar la pelota, se perfila para soltar un zapatazo terrible con la derecha que Jacobo vió pasar sin poder hacer nada.

Lo mejor del primer tiempo fue la vuelta de Xabi Alonso a su mejor versión. Lo peor, la sensación de que el Madrid ataca a fogonazos y que Karim Benzema no acaba de entrar en la dinámica de nuestra liga.

La segunda parte traía consigo al mejor Madrid de la temporada. Asociándose en corto con Xabi Alonso y con Van der Vaart jugando como enganche, los blancos ofrecieron su mejor versión hasta que el Valladolid logró el segundo tanto. Diego Costa, un jugador cedido por el Atlético de Madrid, se hizo con una pésima entrega de Xabi Alonso y puso un balón de oro a Marquitos con un túnel a Pepe. El menudo jugador definió chutando a pie cambiado sin que Casillas pudiera hacer nada.

Tras este percance vino lo de siempre. El Madrid ya no quiso el balón y cada uno comenzó a guerrear por su cuenta. Especialmente Benzema, que nunca encontró su sitio en el partido. En el minuto 70 Pellegrini se hartó de la situación y movió ficha. Abandonaron el campo Benzema y Van der Vaart para dar entrada a Kaká y el “Pipa” Higuaín.

Sin embargo el mal del Madrid es claro. Cuando cogen la pelota Lass y Xabi Alonso, hay hasta 5 jugadores por delante de la jugada mirando el balón de espaldas. No hay desmarques al hueco, no hay gente en las bandas, sólo hay mirones que esperan un pase que, de producirse, les deja siempre en desventaja con respecto a su defensor. Eso es lo que tiene que corregir Pellegrini si quiere que haya fluidez y profundidad en el juego del Madrid.

Con todo, los blancos tienen individualidades que deciden los partidos cuando peor están. Un pase de Xabi Alonso a la carrera (un desmarque a la espalda) de Higuaín puso al argentino en franquía ante Jacobo. La definición fue la de un jugador liberado tras su convocatoria con la albiceleste. Parábola por encima del portero del Valladolid y golazo que reabre el debate entre Higuaín y Benzema.

El minuto 81 fue el elegido por el técnico blanco para dar el segundo homenaje de la noche a Raúl. Ovación de gala del Bernabeu, que agradecía de esa manera los 711 partidos del eterno 7 blanco. En ellos, acumula más de 300 goles. Casi nada.

Diego Costa pudo meter a su equipo en el partido en el minuto 85, pero Pepe estuvo inconmensurable para impedir más sustos. La parroquia blanca se lo agradeció como siempre, aplaudiendo las acciones de un central al que veneran y en el que confían ciegamente.

La victoria deja al Madrid como solitario perseguidor del Barça, toda vez que el Sevilla se vió superado por el Deportivo en A Coruña. Siempre digo lo mismo, cuando sacas pecho normalmente te lo parten, y Sergio Sánchez se descolgó con unas declaraciones impropias de un equipo que respeta a su rival. Aquello de “si el Sevilla juega poco tiene que hacer el Depor”. Menos hablar y más jugar.

Urban Terror 4.2  yakında çıkcaktır.Urban terorr hakkında detaylı bilgi ve  birkarc resimler var.Okumanızı tavsiye Ederim….

Topluluk üyelerimizin boş zamanlarında oyun sunucularımızda keyifle oynadığı Urban Terror, 4.2 numaralı gelecekte çıkacak sürümünün ekran görüntüleriyle hepimizi sevindirdi.

Oyun dünyasını yakından takip edenlerin bildiği üzere; Urban Terror, 1999 senesinin sonlarında piyasaya sürülen Quake III: Arena için geliştirilen bir modifikasyondu. 2005 senesinde grafik motorunun Genel Kamu Lisansı (GPLv2) altında özgür yazılım dünyasına sunulmasıyla bağımsız bir oyun olan Urban Terror, benzerlerinin aksine grafik motoru gitgide geliştirilen bir oyun kimliğine büründü.

Kullanılan Quake III: Arena grafik motoru üzerinde birçok iyileştirme yapan geliştirici ekibin, 4.2 numaralı yeni sürümüyle beraber sunacağı yeniliklerin birkaçı, şu şekilde sıralanıyor:

Grafik motoruna eklenen Bump Mapping desteğiyle daha detaylı modellemeler mümkün.
Daha gerçekçi patlama ve yansıma efektleri. Özellikle su üzerinde yansıyan görüntüler dikkat çekici.
Oynanabilir karakterlerin kaplamaları ve animasyonları geliştirildi. Silah modelleri daha gerçekçi, dişi karakterler ise eskisinden daha seksi .
Oyuna bir adet yeni silah ve bir adet teçhizat eklendi; Flaş bombası ve ikinci silah olarak kullanılabilecek Benelli M4A pompalı tüfek.
Urban Terror 4.2 sürümüne dâhil olup olmayacağı henüz kesinleşmeyen FN P90 yarı otomatik savunma silahı.
Oyunun dengesini bozabilen iki silahta düzeltmeler yapıldı; SPAS12 pompalı tüfeğin etkisi daha dengelenirken, eğilirken SR8 ile dürbünü kullanamama hatası giderilmiş.
Anaglif görüntü desteği eklendi. Böylelikle üç boyutlu gözlüklerle oyunu oynayabileceğiz (yandaki ekran görüntüsü). Bu yeni özellik, oyunlara çok daha da gerçekçi bir atmosfer katacak.
Oyuna yeni eklenen haritalarla beraber, her iki takımın birbiriyle kıyasıya çarpışacağı toplam 30 harita yer alacak.
İki adet yeni oyun türü ekleniyor. Bunlardan ilki olan Jump Mode, oyunda yapılabilen ilginç zıplama hareketleriyle ilgili bir eğitim bölümü. İkinci oyun türü olan ve eski sürümlerde de yer alan (ancak sonra oyundan kaldırılan) Last Man Standing (Son Hayatta Kalan) ise son derece eğlenceli bir oyun türü; karşı takım tarafından öldürülen oyuncu, kendisini öldüren takıma dâhil oluyor. En son hayatta kalan oyuncunun kazandığı bu oyun türü inanıyoruz ki çok beğenilecek.

Yeni sürümün geçmişte duyurulan çıkış tarihleri birçok kez ertelendiğinden, geliştiriciler şu an için kesin bir çıkış tarihi vermekten kaçınıyorlar. Yapımcıların da açıklamalarına dayanarak, yeni sürümün en geç önümüzdeki sonbaharda çıkacağını tahmin ediyoruz.

A cigarette lighter is thrown onto the pitch as Adebayor celebrates with Toure picks him up in front of the Arsenal fans

Just 8 hours before, with my red and white scarf around my neck and ManU fans mocking around, I stood alone and watched Ade performing the ugliest act of a footballer for his former club – his run of 100 yards to do his trademark slide and tease the Arsenal fans.

And like wenger, I also didn’t see the stamping incident properly and I hoped for no intentional attempt.

Now sitting here on my one-arm chair in these early hours, I have watched the adebayor-stamping-persie video 19 times.

Reason: I thought our once-a-hero can’t turn out to be such a villain.

BUT I WAS WRONG! IT WAS A DELIBERATE STAMPING ON PERSIE’S FACE!

Efendim ben gibi izleyemenler için geniş özet;

http://videonuz.ensonhaber.com/haber-24449-turkiye-4-2-estonya-genis-ozet-ve-goller.html

A poem by the Roman poet Statius (c. 45 – c. 96 AD) is an important piece of evidence that has been underutilized. All studies of entheogens in the ancient world, banquets in the ancient world, and Emperor worship in the Roman Empire *need* to pay attention to Statius, Silvae 4.2.

(You’ll have to scroll down a little to Roman Numeral II. Unfortunately, I can’t find an online translation. I may post one soon).

In the poem, Statius describes attending a banquet held by the Emperor Domitian (ruled 81 – 96 AD). He is drinking pure, undiluted wine that is either immortal or is a wine that gives immortality (immortale merum, 4.2.12). Ceres and Bacchus wait the tables at the banquet (4.3.34-37). For wine, remember that wine in the ancient world was not simple fermented grape juice, but a drug-infused beverage. Bacchus is the god of wine; Ceres is one of the main goddesses at Eleusis – They are providing entheogens at this banquet.

At the beginning of the poem Statius calls the banquet sacred (sacrae… cenae, 4.2.5) and at the end says that Domitian has given him a happy/blessed meal (felices epulas, 4.2.63) and the sacred rites of a banquet (mensae… sacra, 4.2.63-64). The wine that gives immortality or is immortal and the presence of the two gods, Ceres and Bacchus, contribute to the sacred nature of this banquet.

Immediately after Statius writes that he is drinking pure, undiluted wine that gives immortality, he says “up until now I have passed through sterile years; this day is the first day of my lifetime, here is the threshold of life” (steriles transmisimus annos; / haec aevi mihi prima dies, hic limina vitae, 4.2.12-13). The banquet is like a rebirth for Statius. The main emphasis of this rebirth is on time. Statius’time before was ’sterile.’ Now time is restarted for him.

Besides time, Statius experience also centers around the Emperor. Statius repeatedly likens the emperor to a god and emphasizes his power over the world and over time. Statius seems to be reclining in the stars with Juppiter (medius videor discumbere in astris / cum Iove, 4.2.10-11). Statius comes face to face with the “ruler of the lands and the great parent of the subdued world, the hope of men, the concern of the gods” (regnator terrarum orbisque subacti / magne parens…spes hominum…cura deorum, 4.2.14-15). Statius wants only to gaze on his face (4.2.38-44). The Emperor has a tranquil expression and a serene majesty that softens, but cannot completely hide, the rays of light he emits (4.2.41-44). There are small details of the description of the Emperor that remind us that he is also a martial figure (4.2.43-45). The Emperor is a mix of warlike and peaceful attributes. Statius compares the Emperor to a number of mythological heroes and gods relaxing after their efforts in war (4.2.46-51). This series of images culminates in Juppiter relaxing at a banquet listening to the Muses and Apollo sing poems about Juppiter’s triumph over the rebellious Giants (4.2.52-56). At the end of the poem, Statius returns to the topic of time and the Emperor’s power of it. Statius prays that the Emperor will often “open the yearly threshold” (saepe annua pandas / limina, 4.60-62). At the very close of the poem, Statius returns to himself and says that now the light has come back to him, the same light that first game to him was a victor years before in the Emperor’s poetry contest (4.2.63-67).

This is a very rich poem, full of artful details that I haven’t gone into here. The most important takeaway points are the entheogens and the picture of the Emperor as a god with powers directly related to time. There are also other poems in Statius’ Silvae collection that address the Emperor: 1.1, 4.1. and 4.3. It would be extremely worthwhile to study Statius’ picture of the Emperor in light of altered-state experiencing and insights into time, self, and control.

This poem should be studied by entheogen scholars because it is evidence for entheogen use by elite Romans at the heart of Imperial society. This poem was intended for an audience of elite Romans. There’s no need to assume that Statius is speaking in code in order to keep the entheogen use a secret. “Immortal wine”, “Ceres and Bacchus provide the food” – this is how the ancients talked about the entheogens. Besides knowing that wine was a drug-infused beverage, the way that Statius talks about the banquet as sacred lets us know that he is talking about an entheogen.

Scholars of Emperor Worship should study this poem because it shows the emperor as the object of a transcendental religious experience. We have to drop the idea that the Imperial Cult was simply a political cult devoid of religious experience. This poem also shows devotion paid to the emperor by a Roman, in Italy, as opposed to provincial Greeks in Asia Minor. For too long the idea has held sway that Emperor Worship was only something that Greeks in the Eastern Mediterranean did because they were accustomed to worshipping local kings.

Ittai Gradel’s book Emperor Worship and Roman Religion goes a long way towards showing that worship of the Emperor was common and widespread throughout the Roman empire and all levels of society. However, he views emperor worship simply as a way for the worshipper to mitigate the huge social status gap between the Emperor and his subject. Nearly all of his evidence comes from inscriptions, artwork, and the ancient writers of history. He needs to consider the evidence of poets. His book should be read along side books like Steven Friesen’s Imperial Cults and the Apocalypse of John: Reading Revelation in the Ruins, which does a better job of interpreting the meaning of the Imperial Cult for the worshippers. (I may expand on these books and move this paragraph to a new post).

Étant donné que ça brasse dans le monde du hockey et que je manque de temps pour écrire sur la plupart des nouvelles, j’ai décidé de vous faire une liste en rafales des évènements ou autres qui se passent dans le merveilleux monde du hockey.

• Les Penguins égalisent la série: C’est LA nouvelle de l’heure; Pittsburgh a surpris tout le monde en égalisant la série finale 2 à 2. Voilà qui rend les choses encore plus intéressantes! Finalement, Pavel Datsyuk n’a pas pris part à la rencontre jugeant lui-même qu’il n’était pas à 100% de ses capacités.

Les hommes de Dan Byslma ont fait preuves d’une force de caractère inouï durant le 4^e match. Evgeni Malkin a permis à son équipe de prendre les devants 1-0 grâce à son 14^e des présentes séries. C’est alors que la puissante machine des Red Wings s’est mise en marche et que Darren Helm a créé l’égalité à l’aide d’un tir dans la lucarne en fin de premier engagement. La deuxième période était à peine commencée que Détroit prenait les reines de la partie 2 à 1 sur un tir frappé de Brad Stuart, suite à une belle montée de Henrik Zetterberg. C’est alors que les jeunes ont pris les choses en main en commençant par un but en désavantage numérique sur un super effort individuel de Jordan Staal. C’est alors que le meilleur duo en série de l’histoire de la LNH s’amène à deux contre un; Malkin s’y est pris par deux fois pour faire la passe à son coéquipier « Sid the kid » qui lui n’a eu besoin que d’un geste pour marquer son premier de la série. Les Penguins ont confirmé leur victoire de 4 à 2 sur un superbe tic-tac-toc de Chris Kunitz, Sidney Crosby et finalement Tyler Kennedy qui n’avait qu’à compléter dans une cage béante. Marc-André Fleury a encore brillé devant la cage des siens avec 37 arrêts.

Voilà un gain qui donnera beaucoup de confiance aux joueurs de Pittsburgh pour le 5^e match qui sera tout aussi capital que les deux derniers. Les Wings fatigués devront trouver une façon d’arrêter les jeunes Penguins, Très gros match à venir.

• Jacques Demers aurait pu revenir comme entraîneur : Suite à la nomination de Jacques Martin au poste d’entraîneur-chef du Canadien de Montréal, l’analyste du Réseau des Sports, Jacques Demers, à annoncer qu’il avait été pressenti pour revenir derrière le banc du Tricolore si Savard devenait propriétaire du club. À mon avis, ça aurait été tout un coup de théâtre. Qui sait peut-être que Martin le prendra comme assistant? (N.B : La dernière phrase était sarcastique)

• Joe Sacco devient le nouvel entraîneur-chef de l’Avalanche : Après un grand ménage dans l’organisation du Colorado, voilà que les dirigeants remplacent les meubles. Joe Sacco et le Québécois Sylvain Lefebvre qui ont été respectivement, entraîneur et adjoint pour la filiale du grand club depuis 2 ans (les Monsters du Lac Lerie); ils ont donc obtenu une promotion en étant maintenant membre actif de l’Avalanche du Colorado tout en gardant leur poste respectif. Notons que Patrick Roy a refusé le poste d’entraîneur-chef la semaine dernière.

• Jacques Martin signé 6M$ pour 4 ans : En effet, c’est 1.5M$ par année qu’empochera le nouvel entraîneur-chef du Canadien de Montréal, Jacques Martin. Il peut aussi toucher un boni de 500 000$ si son équipe se qualifie pour les séries; quand même pas mal! À mon avis c’est un juste salaire pour un homme de son envergure et le boni ne peut qu’être une source de motivation! Peut-être qu’il mettra une partie en récompense pour ses joueurs s’ils font les séries qui sait? Ce pourrait être encore plus motivant; comme les sommes que les joueurs mettent quand un de leurs coéquipiers joue contre leur ancienne équipe afin que celui-ci marque contre-elle, etc. Enfin, ce n’était qu’une hypothèse! Finalement, bonne nouvelle pour les termes du contrat, je crois que tous les amateurs peuvent être satisfaits de ce choix.

• Plusieurs échangent ont eu lieu dans la LHJMQ : En cette première journée de transaction dans Ligue Junior Majeure du Québec, il y a eu de nombreux mouvements. Luke Adam du Junior de Montréal est passé aux mains du Cap-Breton en retour de 2 joueurs de 17 et 19 ans et du 14e choix de la première ronde du repêchage. Les Voltigueurs de Drummondville, champion de la Coupe du Président, ont échangé l’attaquant de 20 ans Samson Mahbod aux Rockets de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard en retour d’un choix de 3^e ronde (66^{e au total}). D’autres échanges sont déjà conclus, mais il y a aussi des équipes qui doivent payer les compensations des échanges de la saison dernière. J’ai bien hâte de voir les alignements de l’an prochain dans plusieurs équipes. Si vous voulez un résumé complet, allé sur RDS.ca dans al section LHJMQ. Tous les mouvements seront confirmés ce vendredi.

Olá pessoal,

Apesar de eu não ter noticiado a criação do repositório KDE42 para o openSUSE, nosso colega Marcolino o fez a algumas semanas

http://blog.marcolino.com.br/wordpress/2009/04/25/opensuse-kde-42-ganha-repositorio-estavel/ (blog fora do ar por enquanto)

http://mschlander.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/important-news-for-opensuse-kde4-users/ (blog do cb400f em inglês comentando as alterações nos repositórios do KDE para o openSUSE)

E quem ainda utiliza o repositório KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop e não está querendo ter seu KDE atualizado para a versão de desenvolvimento 4.3, é a última chance para trocar para o repositório correto, conforme anunciado hoje por e-mail pelo Dirk Müller:

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2009-05/msg00059.html

Segue a tradução de parte do e-mail:

Olá,

Nós começamos a mesclar o KDE 4.3 beta1 no repositório KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop. Conforme anunciado anteriormente, por favor, altere para o repositório KDE:42 se você quiser continuar com o KDE 4.2.3 (estável)

A publicação do repositório foi desabilitada e será habilitada novamente quando a mesclagem estiver concluída.

[...]

Abraços,
Dirk

Super derby, super Lazio!!! Meciul pe care îl aşteptam de multă vreme! Deşi iniţial ştiam că meciul va avea loc duminică seara, el a fost programat sâmbătă de la 15, din cauză că duminică era Paştele catolic. Trebuie să recunosc, am avut ceva emoţii înainte de el, având în vedere că mergeam la meci cu 2 fete (Alexandra şi Adriana), în mijlocul galeriei laziale, acolo unde sunt cei mai rasişti suporteri din Italia, dar şi sentimentul lor anti-noi! Plus că ştiam că vor fi conflicte între suporterii celor 2 echipe.

Când am ajuns la stadion, în jurul orelor 12:30, surpriză: laziali şi romani deopotrivă, amestecaţi în grupuri, nu aveau treabă între ei. Peste tot bancarele cu articolele ambelor cluburi, nu făceau nicio diferenţă. Ce era interesant, toţi aveau bere, se vindea în prostie pe acolo, chiar şi pe stadion, ceea ce la noi e imposibil. Ne-am ridicat biletele pe care le aveam rezervate de pe net cu o săptămână înainte, apoi am ajuns într-o zonă cu laziali, unde ne-am luat tricourile alb-albastre pe noi şi am pornit spre Curva Nord. La intrare, bineînţeles a trebuit să aruncăm sticlele de suc, sprite-ul la 2 l luat înainte cu 2 euro, dar nimeni n-a zis nimic de camera de filmat! La noi nu te lasă cu camere de filmat pe stadioane, doar cu aparate foto – ruşine conducătorilor din fotbalul românesc încă o dată!

Ajunşi pe stadion, am găsit o atmosferă incendiară, de vis, exact aşa cum mi-am dorit. Pot spune că nu se compară cu nici un alt meci la care am fost, nici măcar cu Lazio – Real Madrid 2-2 din 2007. Dacă vă puteţi imagina peste 60.000 oameni la momentul de reculegere în memoria victimelor cutremurului care a avut loc acolo, cum din vacarmul ăla infernal s-a lăsat o linişte de mormânt, cum la o ratare a lazialilor, toată peluza era cu mâinile în cap şi în aer se vedeau doar coatele…

Meciul a fost incredibil şi el, era 2-1 după primele 10 minute, vă daţi seama cât eram de bucuroşi. Gol Pandev, pe care l-am văzut doar acasă la reluare, un gol aproape ca-n meciul cu Real la care am fost tot aici, apoi 2-0 Mauro Zarate cu un şut senzaţional în diagonală la colţul lung. La golul romanilor, linişte în curva nord. La 3-1, Lichtsteiner cu capul după un corner, din nou nebunieeeee. 3-2 De Rossi, linişte! 4-2 Kolarov, victorieeeee! Jocul a fost extrem de frumos, 3 cartonaşe roşii (1 Lazio, 2 Roma) plus încă 2 la pauză (o rezervă Lazio, antrenor Roma), de care am aflat mai târziu. I-am dominat teritorial, la faze de poartă, Kolarov profesor, Totti o ruină, nu a mişcat nimic. Chiar şi fetele care nu aveau nicio treabă cu Lazio sau Roma, la goluri se bucurau, Alexandra la golul 4 a şi strigat laolaltă cu toată galeria Gooooool.

La ieşirea de pe stadion, după ce am coborât, un grup de suporteri din faţa noastră veneau în fugă spre noi, aşa că a trebuit să fugim şi noi vreo 5 – 10 metri. N-am aflat cauza, probabil s-au ciondănit cu carabinierii, din moment ce romani nu erau prin zonă. Nu am auzit de ciocniri între suporteri; erau înţeleşi să nu facă scandal între ei, pentru victimele cutremurului serios care i-a lovit. Oricum, după câteva sute de metri ne-am schimbat în haine “civile” şi am pornit fericiţi, cel puţin eu, spre bancarele la suveniruri!
