Rooted in blues, soul, reggae, and hip hop, she writes about the intimate experiences that have shaped her as a human and as a songstress. A live performance quickly indicates how deeply Giovanina feels the songs, where and whom they were inspired by, and the stories behind them.

Tim Hartnett and Julie Canepa have been performing throughout the North Country and Vermont as an acoustic duet since 2009. Hartnett is an established member of the North Country music scene, and his musical abilities and experience along with Canepa's theatre background form the basis for the singing/songwriting team.
Their varied repertoire includes music from roots (Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan), classic pop (Beatles, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt) and indie/alternative (White Stripes, Eddie Vedder, Amy Winehouse). They also perform original songs that explore the important issues of our times, including but not limited to love, dogs and layoffs. Vocal harmonies are a distinctive part of their sound and are backed by Tim's guitar playing and Julie's percussion and occasional kazoo! In 2012 Julie and Tim added an electric bassist and drummer and have played extensively under the band name Oh!Betty. Though most of their engagements these days are with the full band, Julie and Tim continue to play several dates a year as a duet.

Join us in welcoming Whetherman this Sunday at 6pm!
Enter Whetherman, the music of 33 year-old independent troubadour Nicholas Williams, who has self-produced eight full-length albums since beginning the project in 2007. By artfully bridging the gap between folk, blues, country, soul, and bluegrass with a timeless tinge, Williams is earning his keep amongst the vast pool of independent American talent in the Americana scene. His songs aim at the heart center, emboldened by the moral struggles of modern man with earnest and poetic lyrics that accompany infectiously melodic vocals, under the current of percussive guitar and rolling harmonica. These factors all contribute towards an effervescent, rustic sound that is all his own.
Whetherman has been performing 150 shows a year in over 40 states across the US since 2011, as well as touring throughout the UK and Western Europe. Living on the road for the better part of the last five years, his surroundings have secured songs of poetry, with a resonance of nature, and Williams has remained completely independent from labels and management, having taken a grassroots approach to spread the songs he's created.
You can find Whetherman on iTunes and Bandcamp, as well as streaming on Pandora Radio and Spotify.

He hosted the beloved Honky Tonk Tuesday residency at Burlington's Radio Bean for over ten years, and took the show on the road to Bonnaroo with Mike Gordon (Phish) as Ramble Dove. Along the way he won a regional Emmy Award for composition, fronted or has been part of several seminal Vermont-based bands, and recorded and played on projects with Eugene Hutz (Gogol Bordello), The Barr Brothers' project Surprise Me Mr. Davis, NOLA's Duke Aeroplane & The Wrong Numbers and many local artists. He spent much of 2017 touring with Nashville-based Shannon McNally, who has made her records with Charlie Sexton (Bob Dylan's band leader), Dr. John, the late Jim Dickinson (Rolling Stones, North Mississippi All-Stars) and legendary songwriter Rodney Crowell. Brett's debut album, Maybe I Will, was recorded at Nashville's Alex The Great Studio with producer Brad Jones and is due for release this fall.

The Battle of Kivinebb was fought on March 11, 1555, between Finnish forces of Sweden commanded by Jöns Månsson Ulfsparre (Finnish name Juho Maununpoika) numbering 500 on one side, and on the other side a Russian army led by Ivan Grigoryevich Bibikov numbering up to 13,000 and consisting mostly of militiamen from Zemshchina. Despite being severely outnumbered, Swedish forces won the battle due to superior knowledge of the region and using skis for mobility. The battle is briefly mentioned in the Lebedev Chronicle, which says that in 1555 Ivan Bibikov with a number of common men was sent to push Swedes to exchange some Russian citizens who were forcibly held in Sweden and to punish the Swedes for attacking the nearest Russian settlements, but was defeated.

AFC Unity win 7-2 in second league encounter
AFC Unity immediately got back on track this week, winning 2-7 at the New Bohemians in their second Third Division fixture.
"It was back to playing football, like we enjoy doing," said manager Jay Baker. "The whole ethos and atmosphere for the game was sportsmanlike; Richard (Slattery, New Bohemians manager) has a great outlook, and it has the effect on his team, who were welcoming, fair, sporting, and play some really nice football."
However, Baker added, that's also what AFC Unity are about.
"As in the pre-season, we play our best football when we're against footballing sides," he explained. "Last week's experience, aside from the unsavoury aspects, was like going against Don Revie's Leeds – what I like to call smash-mouth football – but that's not our way. Jonny (Hodgson, AFC Unity's coach) and I have encouraged the ethos of the club itself into the team, where fair play and passing football is important."
AFC Unity's "passing football" only increased tempo as the game progressed, leading 1-3 at half-time, and refusing to drop deep, with full-backs pushing up to further maintain momentum.
"I don't like the cynicism of dropping deep and defending when you're in the lead," Baker said. "And what we did well when conceding the two goals was respond to each of them instantly with a goal of our own. Each and every one of our players put a good performance in, and we're starting to gel and retain the discipline of the training sessions."
However, Baker urges people not to rule out New Bohemians.
"They're a fantastic club, really professional, and the women's team is still playing with a small squad, to be fair – we had three substitutes and kept rolling, whereas they only had their eleven players on the day, and that takes it out of a team as well. As they develop and grow, that kind of football is going to scalp some sides – I just hope it's not us!"
AFC Unity goals came from Lucy Strutt (3), Jane Watkinson (2), Nathalie Silver and Lena Reitzle.

Gayle King Says She's Fearful for Her Son as a Black Man In America
Bethea's Byte :: Off The Plate :: Entertainment
The Last Outlaw on Fri Jun 05, 2020 2:51 pm
From Zach Seemayer of Entertainment Tonight
Gayle King is opening up about her own emotional coverage of the police killing of George Floyd and the fear she feels for her own son facing systemic racism in America. King joined the hosts of The Talk on Thursday via video chat, and the journalist teared up rewatching her CBS This Morning report of Floyd's murder, in which she cried while reporting on his death.
"It brings back memories of that day, because at the time we didn't even know his name. We couldn't even give him the dignity of his name. He was just a black man underneath the car," she recalled. "All we had seen was the knee on this neck and that was hard enough to see."
Floyd, a 46-year-old black man in Minneapolis, Minnesota, died after being taken into police custody after one officer, Derek Chauvin, kneeled on his neck for over eight minutes as Floyd begged him to get off and told the officers, "I can't breathe."
Chauvin and three other officers were fired following the incident, and days later Chauvin was arrested on charges of third-degree murder.
After days of protests across the nation sparked by Floyd's killing, charges against Chauvin were elevated to second-degree murder, and the three other officers involved in Floyd's arrest and subsequent death were charged with aiding and abetting murder.
"I start thinking about all kinds of things about that video. That's what's making me so emotional, that his last words were 'Mom,' 'Mama.' This is what's getting me," King said. In Floyd's last minutes, as recorded in the now infamous video of his killing, he can be heard calling out, "Momma! Momma! I'm through," as bystanders begged police to get off and let him breathe.
"It goes to the primal instinct that we all have, because your mother is your ultimate protector and his mother died two years ago," King explained. "We didn't know that at the time. When I got emotional, I didn't know that. But we know that now."
King also reflected on how these events, and countless other similar incidents of police brutality and systemic racism, make her scared for her adult children, who both live across the country from her in Los Angeles.
"My son is 33 years old, and I'm worried about him, saying, 'Will, please don't walk Scott [his dog], please don't take him for long walks, everything is so volatile,'" King explained. "He lives in the Santa Monica area, close to there, so he can hear the police choppers and he can hear the sounds of the city. And Santa Monica as you know is a very affluent town... but I'm worried about him walking his frickin' dog... I worry for him being a black man, period."
"I worry a lot about his safety. Welcome to being black in America. This is not new," she added.
King said she's also found it interesting "how white people are processing this and black people are processing it. Because it is black and white, but it should be a human issue. This is about humanity."

A bored billionaire (John Cleese) hides a $2 million treasure and sends off eight people; who will be the first to find it? This is the budget version of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) – instead of Spencer Tracy we get Breckin Meyer. The writing is weak and the elaborate gags tend to repeat themselves. The actors are more interesting; Jon Lovitz scores high points as a slightly psychotic family man and gambling addict who first ends up in the wrong kind of Barbie museum and then behind the wheel of Adolf Hitler's car.
2001-U.S. 112 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Jerry Zucker. Cast: Whoopi Goldberg (Vera Baker), Jon Lovitz (Randall Pear), Rowan Atkinson (Enrico Pollini), Cuba Gooding, Jr., John Cleese, Kathy Najimy… Seth Green, Kathy Bates, Dean Cain.

Q: JavaScript AngularJS error "SyntaxError: Unexpected token }" I have an SPA that needs to support any language. Upon loading, it deploys all the labels in a default language. Within the HTML, these are included as:
:
{{Labels.Username}}

(This is just an example, not the actual HTML).
Now, upon initial loading, all goes OK. When I attempt to change language (even to the initial default language) I get the following error:

I attempted to debug this by setting breakpoints into my JavaScript code at every relevant location, but (as suggested by the error) the issue appears to be within the Angular code. I need to find our what triggers this.

A: Found the issue. It had to do with the fact that, under certain conditions, the JSON that was received (i.e. its string representation) from the remote server was wrongly formatted.
It took me some time to find this, and it looks to me reasonable to assume that I would reach this much faster had AngularJS provided more clear description of the error (this particular as well as others).
Thanks to those that sent comments and recommendations.

Solid state imagers with integrated scanning circuits offer many advantages over beam-scanned camera tubes in cost, reliability, size, and range of applications. Solid state electrical imagers are the realization of available methods for organizing and transferring charges from an image sensing area to electrical readout ports. Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) travelling on a piezoelectric medium have been shown to support charge transfer in a solid state device: charges can be injected into electric potential wells which travel at the acoustic speed and may be collected at a different location on the surface. The principles of SAW charge transfer devices (SAW-CTDs) are reviewed. Design concepts for SAW-CTDs and CCD-CTDs for use as electrical or optical waveform recorders and as imaging devices, e.g. streak and framing cameras operating in single-shot and continuously cycling modes, are presented.

J. Balvin has overthrown Drake as the most-streamed artist on Spotify, according to reports.
Billboard writes that the Vibras musician recently surpassed the mark of 48 million monthly listeners, surpassing the "I'm Upset" artist as the most-streamed artist for their service.
"Last summer, Balvin's single 'Mi Gente' was the first Latin song sung completely in Spanish to make it to No. 1 on Spotify's Global Top 50 Chart," reports the site.
"All I can say is thank you, thank you," J. Balvin said in a statement regarding the news. "I'm so grateful and proud to be the most heard artist in the world on Spotify. It's bigger than J Balvin, it's the movement and it's in Spanish."
Not only was this a crowning achievement for the "X" artist, it was also a major moment for Latin artists.
"We are proving that Latinos have the power to connect with an audience on a global level without having to leave our identity behind," J. Balvin continued. "This is an achievement for the entire Latino community. I'm so grateful to Spotify for the enormous support to the reggaeton movement."
Congrats to J. Balvin on his grand accomplishment.

If midfielders were made of sugar, we'd be diabetic
A Fawkner supporting poster named 'benzema' posted this on soccer-forum.
But the 2 biggest signings are the two new midfielders from Belgium and Argentina. They won't be cleared for a couple weeks but South Melbourne will be signing them in the next window and will be with the club for half a season with an agreement between South Melbourne and Fawkner as they were training at South Melbourne for a couple weeks. The boy from Belgium captained his national team in the Under 20's and has played for Genk easily A League material from all reports.
Have no idea about the validity of these claims, but one must add that it's a good thing these boys are midfielders, because we need coverage in case something happens to the 20 other midfielders we have on books.

Needs More Cowbell - South 3 Knights 1
Amongst the questions that we pondered on the bus trip to Northcote - if Romeo and Juliet were around today, would they die their hair raven black, dress up in mourning clothes with the pale makeup and black eyeliner and sit under the clocks at Flinders Street Station on a Friday night? Gains, Steve from Broady and me also discussed the merits of Chekhov, Gogol and Vonnegut. We discussed the ceaseless contest between youth's faith in using the rare example over the elder's preference for basing their judgments on a form of experience which seeks to negate the improbable, yet possible?
What could bring up such weighty topic of conversation. Gianni De Nittis of course. We fought over both his legacy, whether he had any untapped potential, and the thought only occurs to me now, whether he simply managed to have scored in two massively important games in the space of two weeks, cementing his status as a VPL South legend but unfairly burdening him with expectations which he would seldom be able to meet in future.
We watched the majority of the under 21s contest. We don't talk much about the under 21s on here - after blitzing the field last season, this year has seen defensive frailties creep into their game. De Nittis had been relegated to the 21s, and opened the scoring with apparently a ripping goal. I couldn't see it from my vantage point inside the social club. I did however see him try to be tricky, lose the ball, and retaliate with tackle from behind. The offence saw him get a red card. As Vonnegut's Tralfamadoreans said, 'so it goes'. The game finished at 2-2.
The main event was an even affair for sixty minutes. Which is to say, the Knights played well without creating too many chances, while we were forced onto the sidelines with very little room to move in the middle. Our short passing game was non-existent, and we seemed to be clueless as to how to work out something which might get us a goal, other than Mick Malthouse style chip kicks along the outer side, which almost inevitably had Jesse Krncevic, turning and shooting off balance into the side netting, or straight at our old foe Martin John.
When Steven O'Dor gave away an obvious handball in the box, the world paused as the referee seemed to lag behind the rest of the crowd in acknowledging the /infringement. But once his consultation with the corresponding linesperson was done, the Knights got their penalty and a deserved lead despite Zaim Zeneli moving to the correct side. The Knights kept up the pressure, and probably should have made it 2-0, but for one slightly convoluted explanation, which is as follows.
During the game one of the many Georges at South Melbourne suggested that the Knights were of the same ilk as the South of 2008. That is, they could fight and scrap and even dominate a match, but their inability to score goals would always come back to haunt them. People like to see parallels between the past and the present as a way of making sense of the world, but that particular George may have been on to something there. Pound for pound the Knights were the better team for seventy minutes; they even had the lead - and yet they just couldn't jag the result.
South finally woke up, having made use of its substitutions in an effort to win the game. The most important of these was Daniel Vasilevski, though both Kyle Joryeff and Kamal Ibrahim added something for which Gasparis, Petrovich and Taseski had not. Still, for about ten minutes we spent most of our energy on trying to snag an unlikely long range effort. But then Vasilevski - the only player who should be allowed to take our shooting free kicks - put one away into the top corner where even the valiant efforts of Martin John could do nothing about it, and all of a sudden, we felt a draw would be a good result after playing so poorly.
But that plan was ruined when we scored again, Ibrahim setting up an easy finish for Krncevic, the prodigal son continuing to put goals away. And then we scored another one, Joryeff putting his name down to become the new Yusef Yusef by scoring a junk time goal to rub pure iodine into the open wounds of the visitors. The Knights deserved at least a draw, but such is the game of football that even relative dominance is nothing without putting the ball in the back of net.
We don't have the wood on too many sides these days, but the Knights for some reason continue to find ways to see us get the three points more often than not. While I was disappointed with the majority of the performance by our boys, there's a certain satisfaction in getting a win over an old rival when they gave it more than a good shake and it still wasn't enough.

Highlights from Ljubo's first match
Two things. One, as with the 2011 Hellenic Cup Final, I was first up to celebrate what would be the winning goal. On that occasion I realised it even at the time; this time Gains had to tell me after watching the video. Two, what's the go with Joe Montemurro wearing sunnies on his head? That's hardly the right place for them; and it wasn't even sunny out. People .

A Glorious Night of TELLING IT LIKE IT IS! (or maybe just how some people see it but with the use of an authoratative voice so people are more likely to think you're being a realist and more knowledgable)
Reading Slaughterhouse 5 before rocking up to events celebrating the past and the future can alter perceptions in ways probably entirely intended by the author.
This entry has the usual wearying digressions.
I missed the 2010 jersey presentation with the least troublesome of my many medical emergencies of last year. I was in recovery mode after having my wisdom teeth taken out. Insert corny joke about that being less painful then such events; it'd have been true anyway, as unlike many dental themed horror stories, I was under general anesthetic for the entire procedure.
Anyway, the 2011 version was back at Kinisi for the first time since 2008. Almost the entire crew I would have normally attended and fraternised with in the past was absent. The reasons were many and varied - illness, hatred of Kinisi, disillusionment and being halfway through a nervous breakdown, the last of which I learned this week is not an actual medical term. Even I probably qualify for several of those categories, but I'd already committed! Blast!
I was with Gains and Hellas Johnny though, which made the evening more than tolerable. I'll say this about the seating arrangements. Not that I wish any sort of harm to those in the bliss of romantic entrapment, but being on a table filled with single people and one obviously very much in love couple makes one feel like a recalcitrant of some sort.
The player auction didn't seem to really take off. Indeed, the majority of the evening seemed muted, as if, after the recent celebrations of the past and the apparent end to life on the slow train to financial oblivion, there was no more need or energy to be fired up about the club anymore. That perhaps we'd found a niche we could survive in and that perhaps everyone was emotionally spent. Or maybe it's just a transition year. No home ground yet, the major battles won but the war not quite over. A 50 year old suddenly feeling the full force realisation of its best years behind it?
There was also the panel discussion. There was no Q&A segment, which was just as well I suppose, as I had been shunted into the back corner of the room facing away from the stage. They perhaps should have put me behind a curtain just to make sure I didn't do anything stupid - in the past I had an awful habit of rolling my eyes at almost anything, such was my teenage cynicism. I'm better at that these days, I have a little more self-control.
Too much talk about the EPL and pandering to the imagined loyalties of overseas allegiances forged in the heat of a suburban loungeroom. Koutoufides and Christou had some interesting anecdotes - did you know they were both Collingwood fans growing up? - but for the most part their presence on the panel was more of a fifth wheel. For all Ljubo's theatricality, there is an eventual one dimensional aspect which comes into his rhetoric. Still, it was interesting to hear about how while he was in Switzerland, he was getting half the wage of his time at the Glory.
Unlike Les Murray in the past, Mark Bosnich at least had the courtesy not to humour our delusions of grandeur by being unapologetic about his and/or the FoxSports team's stance that change was necessary in the game and that we should be relegated to the toxic waste dump of Australian football. Nor was he sorry that the players reaped the benefits more than anyone of the television money revolution, even while the fans were frozen ever more out of accessing the teams they love. His point had some merit - players, like other workers, had been exploited for generations by their employers. But has the ledger in some cases swung too far the other way? There wasn't any chance to ask that question, or any other.
After all the formalities were done, we stuck around for a bit catching up with people I see on a weekly basis anyway. Hellas Johnny, being a starfucker, got a few photos taken with some of the luminaries. Then we left. East Richmond station is one of my personal favourites. In the heart of the inner city and yet skipped over so often. So it goes.
In all seriousness, I probably should be banned from attending such functions, since I seem to always miss the point. It's about the hobnobbing and fundraising, not about quarter-literate cultural critiques and the fact that the chicken was dry again.

Kiss of Death, Round 6, 2011
Scotch Watch
A big win for South last week coupled with a big loss for the Greens sees the Kiss of Death open up the gap on its opponent.
South Melbourne, 3rd place, 11 points, goal difference +3
Bentleigh Greens, 8th place, 8 points, goal difference -3
Bentleigh Greens vs St Albans
The rumour mill has begun. John Anastasiadis to be taking over Bentleigh after this week's match. Regardless of the result, he will be taking over from Andy O'Dell. Will this move save Bentleigh from being relegated? No chance. I put the mozz on them last season and they just survived. I have an even bigger incentive for them to drop into state 1 this season. SCOTCH!!! St Albans missed an 89th minute penalty last weekend and paid for it with a 90th minute equaliser. I still have faith in them. The Knights took it easy against the hapless Greens last weekend only putting four past them. This weekend St.Albans will bounce back from their draw with Springvale and beat Bentleigh 0-3.
Springvale White Eagles vs Richmond
Springvale will beat Richmond this weekend in what will be a very attacking game. More like one-sided. I can see Springvale ripping them to absolute threads. Richmond scrapped together a 2-1 home win against Gully last week, but frankly that does not sway me. They are yet to win away this year, and a trip out to Springvale is always a tough one. Richmond is only one point above Springvale but have only scored 6 goals to Springvale's 11. At home I can't see Springvale giving Richmond a sniff. Springvale White Eagles 3 – Richmond 1.
Green Gully Cavaliers vs Hume City
Should be a close one. So close that it ends in a draw. Green Gully 2 – Hume City 2.
Northcote City vs Dandenong Thunder
7th v 1st. Northcote are yet to take the VPL by storm this season. Dandy on the other hand remain the only unbeaten team after five rounds. They have flown under the radar and planted themselves on top of the table. Can Northcote give Dandy their first loss of the season? I think they can. Northcote City 3 – Dandenong Thunder 0.
South Melbourne vs Melbourne Knights
I was proven correct with my tactical analysis of last weeks game between South Melbourne and Oakleigh. I am yet to see the Knights play this season and am looking forward to seeing them. Will they win? No. They will not be good enough to beat South Melbourne this week. What's good enough to beat Bentleigh 4-0 is the equivalent of losing to South 3-0. South Melbourne 3 – Melbourne Knights 0.
Heidelberg United vs Oakleigh Cannons
The "Derby"… LOL. Heidelberg 1 – Oakleigh 1.

Ljubo! Classy Drinking! Crunchalor! Oakleigh 1 South Melbourne 2
What an eventful evening that was. You know it's going to be one of those nights when you're walking down a city laneway and some drunk with a drink in each hand stumbles out of some hole in the walling singing Billy Joel's Piano Man - for some reason Steve from Broady looked quite confused by the spectacle. Probably too young to be a connoisseur of drunken classics of yore.
After killing an hour or so at the Charles Dickens Tavern, the Public Transport Faction was joined by some interlopers for the trip out to Huntingdale. Except we never got that far, because we got off at Oakleigh instead so the interlopers could buy some more booze to drink by the railway tracks. And isn't it always great to see some runt with a rat tail try to heap abuse at you from 50 metres away? Stay classy Oakleigh.
Getting into the ground, it was obvious there was a bit of a buzz about the game. Later we find out that Ljubo Milicevic's papers have come through after the FFV was allegedly bombarded with media inquiries about why he hadn't been allowed to register. Add to that a near brawl when he tried to get into the ground, and a top three clash which has a bit of added spite to it, got even more an edge.
And three minutes in, we scored, a wonderful volley by Marinos Gasparis who is having a pretty good season so far. But not too long after we're penalised with the first of several mystifying free kicks around the area - Ricky Diaco putting away a low drive which got through or around the defensive wall far too easily.
The game then settled down into the following pattern - South would try attack with quick short passing, both through the middle and out wide with overlapping players, while Oakleigh mostly went wide, trying in particular to exploit Steven Topalovic on their left hand side. Milicevic's inclusion was pivotal - while not completely negating the defensive frailties of this season, at least Oakleigh were unable to win a ball in the air, nor were they able to get behind the defence.
Some may have been disappointed with the spectacle, but I felt that the first hour or so was excellent to watch. Oakleigh almost took the lead towards the end of the first half with a deflected shot which hit the post. 1-1 at half time was a fair outcome. The second half started off much the same way, but once we got ahead, with a Steven O'Dor header from the six yard box, the game deteriorated, as both teams resorted to long balls along the wings.
Peter Zois apparently lost his cool at being called a traitor by fans behind the goals, and was probably at fault when they conceded their second. If there's one area of the game where Zois struggles, it's in commanding his six yard box on high crosses, and much like the equaliser we conceded against Bentleigh early last season, he let rip into the defense rather than take responsibility. Perhaps the video footage will vindicate him though.
Gasparis should have wrapped the game up after he faced an empty net, but succumbing to a rush of blood to the head, he blasted it over. The ceaseless free kicks around the box, often for reasons I couldn't fathom, had us all on edge, but for the most they were harmless. Zaim Zeneli had an adequate game in goals, but wasn't tested too often. Jesse Krncevic came through the middle late, but delayed taking a shot, with Zois smothering the ball, but we still got the win, and after several years of struggling to win at Oakleigh, that's now two in a row.
Still no cleansheet, and one wonders what might happen once Ljubo goes. But going forward we look good. Sebastian Petrovic has started passing the ball sideways and backwards too often, and just doesn't have the pace need to win balls even in his preferred middle of the park position. Rama had a quiet game, rarely noticed him out there.
There was one bitter individual standing to the side of Clarendon Corner (who had an excellent game by the way), heaping abuse on Ljubo - it was all sour grapes though, as Oakleigh had tried desperately to sign him before he'd put pen to paper with us. And during the second half I somehow ended up in a conversation which involved comparing NBA and NBL players of bygone eras. Mark Price or Sam McKinnon? Michael Jordan or Andrew Gaze? Clyde Drexler or Shane Heal?
Anyway, that difficult two week stretch is over, and we're back at our home away from next round against the Melbourne Knights. Could we possibly get a clean sheet? Will we be as switched on as we were last night? What random conversation will sprout up this time? And what's going to be for dinner? So many questions and too much time to think about them.

Bentleigh's loss and South's draw has seen the bottle of Scotch move closer to the Kiss of Death's side of the wager.
South Melbourne - 3rd place, 8 points, goal difference +2
Bentleigh Greens - 5th place, 7 points, goal difference +1
Oakleigh Cannons vs South Melbourne
Much talk on the forums about this week's humdinger. For me it's going to be a one sided affair. I have seen all of South and Oakleigh's games this year. Everyone is carrying on about South's defensive issues, yet no one has said anything about Oakleigh's. With all the popstars they have down at that club, they might only have conceded five goals, but their crossbar and posts have been rattled four times, they've cleared two shots off the line, and the opposition has stuffed up about four one on ones. All this and yet everyone is harping about South's non-existent right back. Yes, I agree, we are a bit flimsy in defence at times, but right back is not the issue. South's defensive lapses stem from an all out attacking mentality. The midfielders come deep to collect the ball from the defenders creating a shit load of space in the midfield. We have dominated every single midfield this season by employing that come and collect policy. Our full backs push into the midfield space leaving two centre backs to man the defence. Souths game is all about short passing and fluid movement. We seem to break down when our full back positions are exposed due to a stray pass, or over zealous full backs over committing. Oakleigh on the other hand play a flat 4-4-2. Their full backs don't overlap, and their two centre backs are slow. Their midfield works, but their long balls go straight down the opposition's throat, and they can't string more than three short passes together. 95% of their goals have come from keeper errors. No disrespect to Rama, but I think even if he was at South this season, we would still be copping goals from the full back positions due to the system we are playing. Oakleigh Cannons 0 - South Melbourne 2.
Dandenong Thunder vs Heidelberg United
Dandy recorded their fourth straight win of the season and the Bergers held South Melbourne to a 2-2 draw last weekend. The Bergers look like they are struggling this season. I don't know why, don't care, but for the good of the game, I hope it continues. Dandy has the best defence in the league with only three goals conceded, while the Bergers have the second worst attack with five goals. Dandenong to continue their unbeaten run. Dandenong Thunder 2 – Heidelberg United 0.
Richmond vs Green Gully Cavaliers
Last placed Richmond will be taking on 10th placed Green Gully. Both teams are playing boring football. If anything Green Gully is playing a less boring brand than Richmond at the moment. Sure to be a bumper crowd down at KB Reserve so be there early if you can. Richmond 0 – Green Gully 1.
Hume City vs Northcote City
Down at windy Broadmeadows, Hume usually dominates their opposition. Northcote though are good travellers. This game is sure to be a cracker with plenty of goal mouth action. Hume City 2 – Northcote City 2.
St Albans Saints vs Springvale White Eagles
St Albans will win their first game of the season and jump Springvale on the ladder. It has to happen this week or else they might as well start planning for next season's state 1. This will be a test for the Saints. If you can't beat Springvale then you shouldn't be in the VPL. St Albans Saints 3 – Springvale White Eagles 2.
Melbourne Knights vs Bentleigh Greens
Ahhh it's scotch time! The boys down at Sunshine will wrap up my little 'on the side' wager against Bentleigh this week. After this week's loss, the Greens will buckle and their slide down the ladder will continue. Melbourne Knights 2 – Bentleigh Greens 1.

The 'you've already got your jersey' presentation on next week
What with all the hilarity of everything else that's been happening, I've almost totally forgotten that the jersey presentation is on next week. And apart from being held several weeks into the season it's also got an interesting little twist on the usual goings on. Details below
It's at Kinisi, it's $50, and it's on Friday 25th
And it will have a panel discussing Australian football!
The panel will include Eddie Krncevic, Ange Christou, Anthony Koutoufides and... Mark Bosnich! Very exciting!
Too bad it's a football discussion because there were some kickass questions that could be asked. Should be interesting regardless.

Now that's what a derby is all about - Bergers 2 South 2
Still five years and counting. We got there early as per usual, but the reserves were called off due to the rain. I had nothing to do for an hour and a half except the usual chit chat and marveling at how Steve from Broady managed to just walk through the gates without paying - his argument about Maccas overs souvlakia with one of the gate attendants seemed to mesmerise everyone and no one realised he'd managed to walk through even going up to the ticket booth.
The match went on its predictable path of us spurning chances and having the misfortune of every save off McMaster landing in exactly the wrong spot - except for Topalovic's shot which was goal bound but headed off the line. Having said that, once again we gifted the opposition some goals with comical defending - the second goal will go down in history as one of the worst goals South Melbourne has ever conceded.
After letting Osagie walk through the defence and letting him have a shot, Sardelic at least managed to save it, only for the entire defence to then just ball watch for an eternity and let him follow up with another shot to put them 2-1 up. Still, we managed to fight out the game and earned a well deserved point after Fernando's pinpoint cross met either the head of Gasparis or Krncevic - I'm not sure if it's been decided who got the final touch on it - and Heidelberg Harismidis who was doing his usual thing of running up and down the line in his guise as a field marshal.
Stefaan Sardelic, who apart from getting in the way of shots had a poor game - his kicking proficiency at an all time low, so much so that goalkicks eventually started being taken by one of the defenders. That didn't last long because Sardelic soon got injured in a nasty clash in the six yard box and had to make way for Zaim Zeneli to make his South Melbourne debut. Didn't have much to do, as by that stage the home side had started parking the bus, but everything he did oozed confidence. Or perhaps we were unaccustomed as to what an adequate keeping performance was supposed to look like.
Afterwards, in an attempt to get to the bus stop in Northlands without going around the long way, we took a hitherto uncharted route through shops, down a ramp, through the underground car park and back up again only to find out that we still had to wait like ten minutes. Then back in the city I had the worst Chinese food ever, and corrected some group coming home on the train from FutureSounds music festival about the title and artist of Father and Son - oh yeah, and one of them was wearing a penguin suit for some reason.
All in all, it could have been worse. At least we managed to score again. Maybe one day we'll even get a clean sheet.

Highlights from win against Bentleigh
Labels: 2011 season, Bentleigh Greens, Eddie Krncevic, Kyle Joryeff, Sebastian Petrovich, SMFCTV, Stefaan Sardelic, Videos
After last week's gutsy 2-1 win by South over Bentleigh, the Scotch Watch wager is now carefully balanced.
Bentleigh Greens - 3rd place, 7 points, goal difference +3
South Melbourne - 4th place, 7 points, goal difference +2
Bentleigh Greens vs Oakleigh Cannons
I've got a side bet involving Bentleigh Greens' progress this year, but I can't separate these two teams. Both have been what I believe ordinary. A 2-2 draw here.
Green Gully Cavaliers vs St Albans Saints
Picked Gully to lose last week, and I was spot on. St. Albans were a tad unlucky against Northcote. I expect Gully to win this one. A hard fought game with plenty of action. Green Gully 2 – St.Albans 1.
Northcote City vs Richmond
Northcote had a surprising win away at St. Albans last week. Richmond flopped. I don't know what's wrong with Richmond. Has the money dried up? Has Chatz lost his touch? Have the off field changes finally caught up with them? Northcote City 3 – Richmond 1.
Dandenong Thunder vs Hume City
Dandy had a great win away from home last week, while Hume beat the Bergers.
Another tight one, but Dandy will be a tad better beating Hume 3-2.
Springvale White Eagles vs Melbourne Knights
Springvale impressed me at Oakleigh last week, and the Knights always seem to impress me. Will be a tight one for sure. Springvale 1 – Melbourne Knights 2.
Heidelberg United vs South Melbourne
Bergers struggled at Hume last week. South had a big, 10 man win vs Bentleigh.
Kliment Taseski has received an Auto + 2 week suspension over the phantom tackle last week against Bentleigh. Only the ref saw something nasty in it. Will definitely be a tough game for both teams. South's on a high at the moment. But can they take that to the Village? Traditionally a tough trip for South. Heidelberg 0 – South Melbourne 3.
Halcyon Days of Making an Idiot of Yourself
Once upon a time we had a sort of intern here by the name of Cliff Hussey, who was initially inspired to create a rival or complementary South Melbourne Hellas blog, before we roped him in to do match reports and provide shaky, nausea inducing videos. Does he still come to games? I don't know. Where is he nowadays? Lighting up the Melbourne social scene judging by his Facebook ramblings.
Apart from the disturbing memories of his bizarre emo dress sense, Cliff did leave us with some great artefacts, the pick of the bunch being this video of the now banned fan known as 'Columbo', doing his usual abuse the keeper shtick before making making a fool of himself by falling over the fence and making some random kid laugh.

Lakeside redevlopment update March 2011
Hello people, today we have another little update on the stadium's transformation. These two photos are the pick of the bunch taken on a camera phone by a Melbourne Victory supporter who goes under the alias of 'a mac', whom we thank for sharing these images.
In the first photo you can see the new stand, which is looking a lot like a new stand nearing completion should. You can also see the brilliant blue of what will be the running track. Yes, one of our requests has seemingly come true. The angle, while perhaps being deceiving, seems to suggest that the view from the new stand may not be so bad - though the view from behind will, as expected be atrocious.
The second photo has the merest hint of our stand, with its new seating, but as you can see, the more prominent object is the 1926 stand undergoing its refurbishment. There's still a long way to go on that front. But the faintest rumours have begun circulating that we may be back for the last three games of the season. I'm finding that a little hard to believe, but we'll see I guess.

No Ljubo, but a win anyway - South 2 Greens 1
Lots of things to talk about today. Let's start with the simple stuff.
Late in the day, I was told by a mutual friend that some twit from Glenroy said that he didn't understand why I take public transport around the grounds, despite my ownership of a car. Well, Mr. Twit, as I have explained on this blog, I have poor eyesight, which while more than adequate to get me around my main destinations in the western suburbs, is not good enough to give me the confidence to drive around unfamiliar roads, especially at night.
I also like public transport for its positive environmental qualities, the light hit on the hip pocket, and the lack of a struggle to find a parking spot. I also find it a more sociable experience. Sure, journeying in a car is fine with all its creature comforts, but a half hour trip from the city with ample opportunity to talk about such weighty subjects such as: the origins, purposes and use of deities; the quest for immortality, including the technological problems associated with it, especially the preservation of the mind; and even the risk society. Steve from Broady may be a deadset plodder when it comes to traditional forms of learning, but he does have an inquisitive mind, which is good, as I like to bounce around ideas like this.
The polo tops aren't ready yet, but they should be ready by our next home game. I bought a scarf, because for years I'd criticised the designs as being too busy. This year's is a simple, classy, royal blue and white striped or barred number, and my old one, the wrong shade of blue and looking the worse for wear has now been relegated to the day to day scarf. Now for the game.
First of all, it was a shock to see active Bentleigh fans behind one of the goals. I don't know where they came from, what they're calling themselves, whether they'll stay the distance, but even though there weren't that many of them they had a couple of flags and they had a go. Should be more of it. Somehow we managed to score a goal from a corner - Seb Petrovic back in his usual central midfield spot with that goal.
While we still don't look that good defensively, it's a damn sight easier to defend against an opponent who is content to sit back very deep, with lots of numbers in defence, and ping plenty of long balls forward. That kind of method generally suggests you're going to be doing most of your better work from set pieces, and that's where the Greens got their equaliser from. An extraordinarily poor decision from the referee - I thought Rhodri Payne was well within the legal limit of how he used this body to win the ball - saw Bentleigh get a free kick wide on the right, and a glancing header into the back corner just made me angrier.
Still, their tactics didn't change, and we were for the first time this season up against a team which with an overdone defence and our side seemingly a little flummoxed as to how to go about breaking that down. We kept possession, trying to find the openings and little runs, but it was a moment of swift wing movement which got what turned out to be the winning goal. The ball was moved quickly out to the vacant right hand side, Jesse Krncevic - who otherwise had a disappointing game I feel - crossed behind Kyle Joryeff who, take your pick of either a poor first touch or a good one, managed to control the ball enough to then hit a shot which went in off the post.
We rode our luck a bit more for the first half, but deserved our lead. The halftime break was the chance to get an orange slushy. Quite refreshing, but I wish people wouldn't be so finicky about picking a flavour - it's sugary coloured gloopThe second half was different story, as Bentleigh pushed numbers forward and played further up the field. Kliment Taseski was sent off with a straight red card for a challenge I felt warranted a yellow (which would have seen him sent off anyway I believe), and thus we were down to ten men for the last half hour or so.
Both teams had plenty of chances to score in the second half - South in particular butchering several counter attacking chances. Bentleigh upped the physical intimidation factor, which for the most part went unpunished, with the worst of the offences being Fernando being taken out behind play and receiving what looked like a serious arm injury. But despite the numerical disadvantage and extended playing time, we held on, and got a much needed three points heading into difficult away games against Heidelberg and Oakleigh. Ljubo was in the stands today, but it has been reported he'll be right to go next week. We'll see I guess.

Highlights from last week's game against Springvale White Eagles
Labels: 2011 season, SMFCTV, Springvale White Eagles, Videos
This week the Kiss of Death has a new weekly segment, Scotch Watch - details below.
Last week at the Serbian Sports Centre, two heavyweight movers and shakers of Victorian soccer agreed on a bet. The prize - a bottle of whiskey. The wager - that Bentleigh Greens would finish higher than South Melbourne this season. A perfect time to introduce this segment, now that both South and the Greens have played the same number of games, and are also due to meet this Sunday. At present the situation is thus.
Bentleigh Greens - 1st place, 7 points
South Melbourne - 5th place, 4 points
This should be a lot of fun. And now the Kiss of Death brings you this week's Johnny Walker Judgement.
Melbourne Knights vs Green Gully Cavaliers
It's about time the Knights started putting things together. One loss and a draw means that all they need now is a win. Green Gully has a draw and a loss. With both teams chasing their first win of the season, I expect the Knights to be just a tad better this weekend. Melbourne Knights 2 Green Gully 1.
Oakleigh Cannons vs Springvale White Eagles
A match of two very different teams. Oakleigh two wins from two, White Eagles two losses from two. White Eagles are a state 1 team, no doubt about that. Oakleigh will not struggle to put White Eagles away. Expect a big, ugly score. Oakleigh Cannons 4 – Spingvale White Eagles 3.
Richmond vs Dandenong Thunder
A few people have said to me leading up to the start of the season that Richmond will struggle due to some off field changes. I beg to differ. The season is still young and Richmond are traditional slow starters. Richmond 2 – Dandenong Thunder 1.
Hume City vs Heidelberg United
The draw of the year. Hume City 4 – Heidelberg United 4.
South Melbourne vs Bentleigh Greens
Gonna drink it up at this game. Gonna get absolutely whacked on some Johnny Walker. South beats Springvale White Eagles 6-4, then lose midweek to the VTC 3-2. Bentleigh draw with the Bergers after copping a 98th minute equaliser. This game will be drama filled from go to woe. South was not the best vs the VTC. They seemed to underestimate their opponents. Everyone is panicking about the backline. I'm not really fussed. We actually copped one goal more at the same time last year. Bentleigh will get relegated. South Melbourne 4 – Bentleigh Greens 0.
St. Albans vs Northcote City
St.Albans gave Dandy a good run for their money last week. Northcote struggled against the Knights. In what will be a close contest, I can't split these two teams.
St.Albans 2 v Northcote City 2.
Last night's score - South 2 VTC 3
Another Glorious Day in the History of South Melbourne Hellas!
Talk about the game? Why would I do a stupid thing like that?
I want to talk about other things.
Sure I live in Altona North, but as self-appointed South Melbourne FC public transport guru and informal tour operator I decided against taking my car to the ground and instead chose to help a couple of friends make their way to this irregular location.
With one of those being my mate Steve from Broady, a young man with a hearty appetite, we ended up at the McDonalds on the corner of Lonsdale and Swanston Streets. Me, I didn't want anything, so I just stood back and waited for his large Quarter Pounder Meal to get ready.
While waiting in that line, some guy with an obviously shaky grip on reality walks past me, then turns around and asks 'what did you say to me?', when I hadn't said anything at all. After an attempt to break me down psychologically by looking at me with a mean shifty stare, he decided that maybe I hadn't said anything after all and walked off.
In any event, I reckon I could have taken him down if necessary, which isn't saying much, and besides, Steve from Broady would have given me a hand if anything happened that required his intervention. We decided to go upstairs because 'it's mad', but being a fast food restaurant in the city, it's full of sparrows which is totally hygienic of course, which didn't seem bother Steve from Broady as much as the initial spot being messy.
After his finishes up, we head out to the bus top to meet Gains. Except for some reason the bus stop is not where it usually is and we have to walk back in the opposite direction. The bus before the one I had scheduled us to use is actually waiting there and we get on. As the bus winds its way through the thoroughfares and avenues of Port Melbourne, Steve from Broady brings up his usual complaint, 'oh, look, Paul's got us lost again', which only happened that one time, and soon enough the parklands were in view and we got off the bus.
I hadn't been to Port Melbourne's SS Anderson Reserve since early 2006 where we lost the Hellenic Cup final to Oakleigh in extra time. Nothing much has changed. The lights are still good, the field is still immaculate by Victorian standards, but I was confused by two things. Firstly, in addition to the usual beverage fare, they also had Magners. That's right, Port Melbourne is turning into a hipster club.
Secondly, where were the souvlakia? They had hamburgers, steak and sausage rolls, but no souvs! I made do with an (overcooked) steak roll and king size Mars bar, but it just wasn't the same. The rest of the evening, with its twists and turns, injuries, quick starts, fightbacks and unnecessary answers to rhetorical questions, just wasn't as interesting.

Ljubo Milicevic to join South - your correspondent left almost speechless
FourFourTwo is reporting that the one and only Ljubo Milicevic - at least I hope there's only one of them - is joining South Melbourne. Yes, our South Melbourne. The club has not officially confirmed it as I go to print, but certain peoples with more authority have indicated that he has signed and will be start on Sunday against Bentleigh.
It won't be for an entire season, but he should add value to our defence if he doesn't break down with injury, as he is somewhat prone to doing. And while I'm normally not for these short term arrangements - especially leaving before the end of the season - the Ljubo Experience is so ripe for gimmick value that I'm sure whatever way it falls, there'll be laughs for everyone.
And he did say he wanted to go to a real club after all.

Art Chantry
Degenerate Bebop
April 22, 2016 — May 22, 2016
Raised in Tacoma, Art Chantry worked in Seattle for nearly 30 years. During that time he managed to produce a body of work that, however unorthodox, still rivals some of the best graphic design in the world. He has won hundreds of design and advertising awards, including a bronze lion at Cannes, and the Poster Laureate of the Colorado International Invitational Poster Exposition.
His work has been collected and exhibited by some of the most prestigious museums and galleries in the world: the Louvre, The Smithsonian, The Library of Congress and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to name a few. In 1993 The Seattle Art Museum honored him with a one-man retrospective of his work and this past summer (June-August 2003) PS1, in association with the Museum of Modern Art, did the same. His work has been published in hundreds of books and magazines and in 2001 Chronicle Books published the monograph of his work , Some People Can't Surf, written by Julie Lasky. In fact, there is even a book about Chantry's work published in China and written entirely in Chinese…though nobody knows what it REALLY says.
During his time working in Seattle, Art somehow managed to carve out a style that took hold of the popular underground music scene in the early 1990's. Dubbed "grunge" by culture mavens, it actually was a look developed at an alternative newsweekly named The Rocket, where Art began as art director in 1984 and continued to be involved off and on for over ten years. During that time, the magazine became a virtual hub on the wheel of Seattle's music and culture scene. Soon his ideas extended beyond The Rocket to the fledgling record label, Sub Pop, where it became history. His ideas found further nuance in his work for the garage rock record label, Estrus Records, where his style found a perfect home.
Through his work with the staff of The Rocket and the classes he taught at the School of Visual Concepts, Art influenced an entire generation of young graphic designers in the northwest, and eventually across the county. He has lectured extensively and traveled to present his work all over the world. He has contributed writings to a number of books about graphic design, and his own book, Instant Litter, Concert Posters from Seattle Punk Culture, is considered a classic in it's field. To this day, his hard-edge scrappy look can be seen everywhere from punk rock record covers to corporate annual reports.

Letters to the Editor: May 19, 2019 Readers share their views on the Mueller report, the decline of home rule, gun violence in schools, and Democratic politicians. Check out this story on tcpalm.com: https://www.tcpalm.com/story/opinion/readers/2019/05/19/letter-letters-editor-may-19-2019/1142825001/
Treasure Coast Newspapers Published 4:00 a.m. ET May 19, 2019
Partisans view Mueller's failure to indict Trump differently
The May 6 USA TODAY editorial, "Learning if a president is a criminal," is misleading. The authors state: "In his report, Special Counsel Robert Mueller said he was prevented from indicting President Trump because of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel opinion from 2000 that said a sitting president facing charges could not perform his constitutional duties."
Attorney William General Barr, in his testimony to the Senate committee, said that he asked Mueller if the OLC opinion was used to determine whether or not to indict Trump. Mueller told Barr that the OLC opinion was not a factor.
Mueller's punt to Barr on an obstruction charge was done for some reason other than the OLC opinion. Depending on which side of the aisle you are on, his reason(s) for doing this vary.
If Mueller found valid evidence of obstruction, you can be sure he would have indicted Trump! This is not hard to understand.
Gary Michalowski, Stuart
The continued decline of home rule
The centralization of power to Tallahassee from local government continues with the aid of Citizens United. The Supreme Court allowed unlimited funds from special interest groups to political candidates in terms of saturated radio and TV ads via "corporate Super PACs" in return for "special favors" (i.e., more control).
Donations to Super PACs by "everyday" citizens, on the other hand, cannot match the large amount of money given by special interests.
Fast forwarding to the present — follow the money! The effects of Citizens United are more and more apparent. Concerned citizens take time to make the long journey traveling to Tallahassee to attend committee meetings and/or speak to their representatives — only to find the committee meetings intentionally changed to another day so that legislators do not have to face their constituents.
The value of the voter has become insignificant compared with that of the special-interest lobbyist except around the November voting period. Then, large amounts of money from Super PACs help to put the best "light" on their "bought" candidates, confusing voters.
The goal of special-interest groups is to keep the power in Tallahassee. They do not have enough resources promoting their interests in each county. To do that, they must continue to pursue a policy reducing the independence of Florida's counties; which they manage to achieve a little more at each legislative session.
Until the Florida voter experiences on a personal level the changes due to this power shift taking place, we will continue transferring more responsibility to Tallahassee. The voters must elect new "independent" leadership, restoring the freedom of local governments, allowing for different parts of the state to express and serve the local needs of its citizens.

Too many families are grieving the deaths of their children in school
Too many times more families are grieving because their children were senselessly and needlessly gunned down in their classrooms as they pursued their education. Two young men — one an only child — brought down killers to protect their peers from needless gun deaths even as they lost their lives.
We don't send our kids to school and hope someone will protect them from being hunted down by guns. We send them to school to study so they can partake of the American promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Officials guide students off a bus and into a recreation center where they were reunited with their parents after a shooting at a suburban Denver middle school Tuesday, May 7, 2019, in Highlands Ranch, Colo. (Photo: David Zalubowski, AP)
Focus on that reality for a minute. A child, who could be yours next time, goes to school to study, to become a productive citizen of this great nation, and ends up dead of gunshot wounds — not because of the will of God, but because of the will of man and, by, extension of a nation. Those who do nothing to stop this carnage, and they include lawmakers, are complicit in these gun deaths by their refusal to legislate to stop it.
We are complicit, too, as we continue to elect lawmakers who allow the unnecessary deaths of our American youth to continue.
As you kiss your kids goodbye and wish them a good, happy, safe day at school, remember that there are countless grieving families who did the same — only to know that the last emotion their beloved child felt was fear.
We have the power to stop this. The question is, are we, the people, going to care enough to stop it. The most permanent and least violent solution is our vote. Thoughts and prayers work only if we back it up with action.

Democratic politicians don't speak for all Americans
I'm very tired of hearing Democratic politicians saying over and over ad nauseam how they're speaking for the American people, or saying the American public want this or that in a tiresome attempt to prop up their idiotic, self-serving positions.
News flash! You sleazy career politicians don't speak for this American, nor do you speak for anyone I know, nor for a large percentage of the American people. How utterly preposterous and presumptuous of you to think you speak for me and millions of Americans.
You insult us by continuing to repeat this hollow, idiotic claim, and I ask you to cease and desist immediately. To ignore this request is to compound your utter stupidity.
