Borrowing the twin turbo 4-litre V8 found in the AMG GT, it's certainly fast. In fact this is the fastest C63 ever, with the standard car getting to 62mph quicker than all of the outgoing models, including the Black Edition. The estate version is no slouch either, getting from 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds, just 0.2 shy of the saloon. Getting the 371bhp onto the tarmac is a seven-speed automatic gearbox that Mercedes says is faster and more responsive than before.
Handling has also received a performance orientated upgrade, with three-stage adaptive dampers giving the driver full control whether driving for comfort, or on track. Dynamic engine mounts have also been added to the C63 package in order to further improve handling, and ensure the around-town ride isn't too choppy.
Mercedes has also made significant inroads to reducing the environmental impact of the new C63. Despite offering high performance motoring, the car uses 30 percent less fuel than the outgoing model and has reduced CO2 emissions of 192g/km. It's no Toyota Prius, but still manages 34.5mpg.
The car is open to orders from October, with deliveries starting in Spring 2015.

Mercedes has unveiled the latest iteration of its premium compact people carrier, the B-Class.
While on the exterior, changes have been far from radical, this offering is bursting with the latest technology and reduces CO2 emissions considerably compared with the outgoing model.
In the engine bay, a choice of four diesel and four petrol powerplants are available. All of them have improved fuel consumption and reduced emissions relative to the current B-Class, meaning running costs have come down. In addition, the B180 CDI Eco engine emits just 94g/km of CO2, landing it in the coveted £0 VED bracket and making it very affordable for company car drivers.
Mercedes has also reduced the emissions of the four-wheel drive B-Class to a frugal 130g/km, giving the safety and versatility of a 4x4 without the sacrifice of higher ownership costs.
An all-electric B-Class has also been revealed, powered by a bank of batteries Mercedes say does not infringe on the spacious cabin. The range and cost of this new model have yet to be announced.
The interior retains a premium feel, with a new freestanding eight-inch display to make Merecedes' COMAND system easier to use. The new B-Class also gets the firm's CONNECT ME feature, bringing the car into the Internet Age. This stores all of the car's information, doing away with a physical logbook. It also can text you the level of the fuel tank and pre-heat or cool the car before you get to it.
Safety forms the backbone of CONNECT ME, however, with the car able to put occupants in touch with emergency services in the event of an incident. It will also send the car's position automatically, along with the condition of the vehicle.
The B-Class is available to order now, will be at dealerships in November and starts at £22,575.

The S-Class has always been at the cutting edge of motoring technology as it ferried executives about in its super-luxurious surroundings. The latest S-Class is no different, yet one model sticks out as being the most advanced hybrid production car available right now.
Firstly, please remember that the S500 plug-in hybrid is as fast as a Porsche Boxter S, accelerating from 0-62 in 5.2 seconds. It sports a 3-litre twin-turbo V6, and has room for four in the most sumptuous conditions this side of a Rolls Royce.
That's all well and good, but the S500 also does 100mpg and will cost you not a penny in VED tax. This is because its engine is supplemented by an 114bhp electric motor and bank of batteries that can be charged fully in just three hours from a household socket.
Admittedly, this gives the S500 an all-electric range of 20 miles, but Mercedes cleverly acknowledges this by stuffing the car with the latest eco tech to make the powertrain as efficient as possible. Never before has an electric motor been mated so efficiently, and so harmoniously with a potent 3-litre V6.
The harmony begins with an Eco Haptic Accelerator Pedal that vibrates when the car in front slows to prompt you to coast until it is necessary to brake. In addition, the Sat-Nav system in the car also reads the topography ahead, so the S500 knows it can deplete its batteries when going uphill because there's a downhill stretch afterwards when it can recharge using gravity. The sat-nav also recognises when you're driving towards a city, so it can recharge the batteries in advance to allow for full electric travel around town. It also has a moveable resistance point in the accelerator to let you know when the car will switch between all-electric and petrol power, a feature that should make eco driving far easier.
All these advancements are but the headline acts in an impressive car. With the S-Class often serving as the cutting edge for motoring tech that eventually percolates into the mainstream, we can all get excited about the developments the S500 will bring.
The S500 is on sale now, priced at £87,965.
Find out what we thought of the new hybrid luxury car in our Mercedes S500 hybrid road test.
This new supercar offering from Mercedes should certainly leave the 911 quaking. It boasts two more cylinders than the Porsche, in a turbocharged 4-litre V8. As a result, the Mercedes will produces 465bhp, does 0-62 in four seconds and goes onto 190mph.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed double clutch gearbox. To improve handling, Mercedes has moved the engine back behind the front axle to give it a low centre of gravity. It also weighs 25kg less than the 911. It has some serious pedigree too, with underpinnings from the SLS and a new AMG Dynamic Select car set-up interface. This is quite clearly a drivers car, and given Mercedes has also announced that the GT will come with variable exhaust flaps, it should certainly sound one too.

Q: Multiplying arbitrarily long sequences of ASCII digits by a single-digit multiplier I was multiplying every integer of a buffer and now I need to connect the intermediate results.
I have this code:
(previously in .data I stated: count db 0)
MOV cx, ax
MOV si, offset skBuf
MOV di, offset raBuf
add si,ax
dec si

work:
MOV dl, [si]

sub dl,48
mov bl,dl
mov al,3        ;can be changed by 0-9
mul bl
mov dl,al
add dl,48

divide:
cmp dl,09H     ;compares with 9
jbe pabaiga
ja decomposition

decomposition:

mov ax,dx

mov bl, 10
div bl         ;al=ax/bl  ah=ax%bl

MOV [di], ah
mov dl,al
add dl,count
mov count,al
add count,48

dec si
inc di
LOOP    work

I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
Basically if you didn't understand:
For example my buffer contains: 456
Right now without the divide part of a code it multiplies each digit by 3 so:

*

*6*3 and prints it

*then 5*3 and prints it

*and lastly 4*3 and prints it all separately

I need that the output looked like 456*3 which equals to 1368

Right now with this code below:
    MOV cx, ax
    MOV si, offset skBuf
    MOV di, offset raBuf
    add si,ax
    dec si

 work:
    MOV dl, [si]

    sub dl,48
    mov bl,dl
    mov al,3        ;galima pakeisti
    mul bl
    mov dl,al
    add dl,48

    MOV [di], dl

    dec si
    inc di
    LOOP    work

the output (with 456 input) is B?< but I need it to be 1368
If it would make it more understandable I'm reading from a file and writing it to another file.

A:
For example my buffer contains: 456
I need that the output looked like 456*3 which equals to 1368

In contrast to your current approach that starts at the end of the source string, combining the digits into a 16-bit integer ready for multiplication, is best done beginning at the start of the sequence of digits:
    mov  cx, ax
    mov  si, offset skBuf
    mov  di, offset raBuf
    xor  ax, ax
    xor  bx, bx
  work:
    mov  dx, 10
    mul  dx          ; AX = 0 then AX = 40 then AX = 450
    mov  bl, [si]
    inc  si
    sub  bl, 48
    add  ax, bx      ; AX = 4 then AX = 45 then AX = 456
    loop work

    mov  dx, 3
    mul  dx          ; AX = 1368

Then use one of the code snippets from Displaying numbers with DOS
that you can freely modify to have it store into your destination buffer.

They expect me to do the same calculation to almost any sized number:/ that's why I posted asking to do the exact thing you mentioned by doing it by hand i guess. Do you have any ideas how to work with that? It's pretty much what I asked in the beginning but maybe my question was incorrectly worded

Then you need the long multiplication with a single-digit multiplier. This time it's easiest to begin at the end of the digit sequence and also store the result from the end of the destination buffer, which should have room for 1 extra character!
  mov  bx, ax      ; Length source
  lea  si, skBuf[bx - 1]
  lea  di, raBuf[bx]
  xor  cl, cl      ; Clear our carry
work:
  mov  al, [si]    ; Read character
  dec  si
  sub  al, 48      ; AL is [0,9]
  mov  ah, 3
  mul  ah          ; (digit * 3) -> AX is [0,27]
  add  al, cl
  aam              ; (digit * 3) % 10 -> AL is [0,9]
                   ; (digit * 3) / 10 -> AH is [0,2]
  add  al, 48
  mov  [di], al    ; Write character
  dec  di
  mov  cl, ah      ; (digit * 3) / 10 -> CL is carry [0,2]
  dec  bx
  jnz  work

First all-female firefighting crew hosing down stereotypes in Carter County
by: Ashley Sharp
Posted: Mar 20, 2019 / 12:30 PM EDT / Updated: Mar 23, 2019 / 06:41 PM EDT
In a field traditionally seen as one for men, a crew of female firefighters is hosing down the stereotypes.
The West Carter County Fire Department has the first all-female duty in the region.
The four women that make up the shift are Ashley Perdue and her mother Carol Jones, Amber Hubbard and Krysten Kelch.
As a volunteer fire department, all the women work other full-time jobs outside of their commitment to the station.
These women are on the front lines of fighting fire in Carter County, proving that the job is not just for men.
"You just have to know what you can do and what you can't do and as long as you know that? The sky is the limit," says Perdue.
The four women stay overnight at the station when they are on-call for what they fondly call "girl's night."
"It's a different bond. And we've really enjoyed that," says Jones.
The women respond and work as a team when a fire or tragic event happens in the county. They say though it is very hard work, it is rewarding.
"The thought process is, 'Lord protect me but give me the strength to do what I've gotta do,'" says Hubbard.
When it comes to the job, fires do not discriminate; neither does the department.
"They don't look at us as beneath them, or say 'oh they can't do that,' they're like 'get in here help me do this,'" says Hubbard.
They describe the atmosphere at the fire hall as one big family.
"All of the guys here are really supportive. I mean, they cheer harder for us than they do anybody else," says Perdue.
They say they are proof that women can do anything.
"What I wanted to do was be a firefighter growing up," says Kelch.
For the mother-daughter duo of Perdue and Jones, the passion for fighting fire runs deep in their family.
Perdue's father, Jones' husband, is the chief of the station. Jones grew up in a firefighting family as well.
"We've been doing it for as long as I can remember!" says Perdue. "Male or female, it's scary when you put on that air pack or when you crawl around in the dark and can't see or can't breathe."
For all four women, showing young girls that they can become anything they set their minds to is important.
"Just because you're a woman doesn't mean you can't do it," says Hubbard.

Betty White Is a Stepmom to Late Husband Allen Ludden's 3 Kids! Meet David, Martha and Sarah

She's had an incredible Hollywood career spanning 80 years, but Betty White has been more than just an actress in her life. She's also been an amazing wife to late husband Allen Ludden, as well as the loving stepmother to his three kids, David, Martha and Sarah.
The showbiz icon was married three times in her life. She walked down the aisle with U.S. Army pilot Dick Barker in 1945, but they split later that year. Following her divorce, Betty tied the knot with actor Lane Allen in 1947. However, their marriage lasted two years as the Hollywood agent died in 1995.
Betty White Then and Now: See the Hollywood Icon Through the Years!
While the Golden Girls star did not have any kids with her first two husbands, that changed during her third and final marriage with Allen Ludden. Not only was it her longest union, lasting from 1963 to 1981, but Betty became the doting stepmom of his kids.
The TV personality welcomed David, Martha, and Sarah with his first spouse, Margaret McGloin. The couple was together for 18 years, but when Margaret died in 1961, Allen moved on with the Hot in Cleveland actress.

Sadly, the Password host died in 1981 after a battle with stomach cancer. Following her beloved husband's death, Betty revealed whether or not she could picture herself saying "I do" for the fourth time.
"I miss having someone to hold," Betty once shared. "[But] if you've had the best, who needs the rest?" As to how she dealt with Allen's passing, the actress revealed, "There's no formula. Keep busy with your work and your life. You can't become a professional mourner. It doesn't help you or others. Keep the person in your heart all the time. Replay the good times. Be grateful for the years you had."
Betty White Has Been Married 3 Times — Get to Know the 'Golden Girls' Star's Husbands!
The Emmy Award winner is "grateful for the years" she had with Allen, but Betty is especially thankful for gaining three children through their relationship. The star's close pal, Sandra Bullock, said Betty's love of motherhood actually inspired her to adopt her own children.
"Betty said, 'You know what? I never had children biologically,'" the Bird Box actress told People in 2009. "'I married someone who had three children. And how blessed I was to have those three stepchildren.'"
Keep scrolling below to learn more about David, Martha and Sarah!
David Ludden
Betty's eldest stepchild, David, was born to parents Allen and Margaret on March 15, 1948. He was a teen when his dad married the legendary actress. Although his stepmom is extremely famous, David and his siblings live a rather normal and quiet life.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1978, according to reports. Just a few years later, he landed a gig as a history professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where he taught South Asian history and development studies until 2007. At one point during his career, David chaired the department of South Asian Studies.
David is also an author, having written several variations of his book India and South Asia: A Short History. Because of his impressive career, he's won countless accolades, including the Guggenheim Fellowship for Humanities Award. David currently teaches Asian History at New York University.
Martha Ludden
Allen's oldest daughter, Martha, was born in 1950. Martha was also quite young when Betty became her stepmom, and according to reports, it didn't go over as well as one would hope.
Because Martha was only just a teen when her dad remarried, she had some "anger towards Betty," Pop Crunch reported. "Martha was young and she deeply opposed the marriage. She was very angry at her father and made it clear she did not like Betty."
An insider noted Allen and Martha's father-daughter relationship was "strained from the start," but his marriage with the Mary Tyler Moore Show actress fueled the fire. "Allen used to argue with Martha constantly over her anger towards Betty," the source explained. "Her tumultuous relationship with her father caused him a lot of grief."
It's unclear if Betty and Martha ever salvaged their relationship, but based on how highly the star talks of her children, it wouldn't come as a surprise.
That aside, Martha grew up to be very successful. Although there's not a ton of information out there, she received her law degree in 1990 and now works with people who have disabilities.
Sarah Ludden
Betty's youngest stepchild, Sarah, was born in 1952, and was only 9 years old when her mother died. Unlike her older sister, Sarah shared a great relationship with Betty. In fact, Sarah often tried to intervene in arguments between the SAG Award winner and Martha.
Sarah started her career as an audiologist and dancer, but her love of dance led her to pursue a career in karate. During that time, she met Nancy Lanoue, a business owner who lived in Chicago. After dating for quite some time, Sarah moved from California to Chicago and together, they opened a small karate school called Thousand Waves.

At Nespresso we are driven to deepen our coffee expertise so we can bring our consumers ever new and innovative coffee experiences. One way in which we do this is through collaborative research with scientific experts in fields such as coffee quality, plant research, aroma and physical chemistry as well as consumer researchers. Since 2010 Nespresso has been actively sharing its research findings with the scientific community. This year, Nespresso went one step further and initiated a multidisciplinary dialogue on coffee science.
How can science help create new value in coffee? This was the question addressed by a round table of international experts convened by Nespresso for the inaugural Nespresso Coffee Conversation symposium. The event took place on October 9th in conjunction with the 2013 International Congress on Cocoa, Coffee and Tea (CoCoTea) in Naples, Italy.
For the Coffee Conversation, Nespresso called upon scientists and industry experts to go beyond the usual scientific symposium and join a discussion on coffee science from a variety of disciplines and perspectives.
Rodrigo Alarcon, a chemical engineer from Almacafé, the warehousing subsidiary of the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC), revealed new potential for using coffee by-products to create more value for farmers and along the value chain. As one of many examples, he mentioned cellulose from coffee pulp, which could be used for the production of paper, while triglycerides from silverskin could be used for cosmetic, food or pharmaceutical applications. Alexis Rodriguez, Nespresso Green Coffee Quality Manager, suggested that centralised coffee mills could be a good point at which to recover coffee pulp for further value creation.
Professor Thomas Hofmann from the Technical University in Munich discussed how molecular sciences play a role in determining quality throughout the coffee value chain, from the tree to the consumer. Imre Blank, from Nestlé Product Technology Centre York, joined other panellists in discussing how molecular aroma and taste compounds translate not only into taste but also into the consumer experience of pleasure and preferences. Can we decode aroma and taste receptors and relate this to individual coffee preferences?
Shedding light on the similarities between wine and coffee, Professor Philippe Darriet from the University of Bordeaux introduced the history of wine processing, quality aspects of Grand Cru wines and the influence of terroir. His presentation led to discussion on how wine processes can be applied to coffee, such as the use of natural enzymes and bacteria during fermentation of wet-processed coffee to enhance aroma and flavour. Another discussion touched on the richness and complexity of both wine and coffee, concluding that complexity in the cup always stems from the quality of the raw material used for the production.
Renowned "perfumer", composer and pianist, Laurent Assoulen, noted that in the creation of both music and perfume, a harmonious composition should be surprising without being overbearing – a value that applies to premium coffee blends as well.
The final topic looked at behavioural and emotional aspects that help shape consumers' perception of coffee. Professor David Sander, head of the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences at the University of Geneva, examined how emotion can be measured and how it modulates our attention, memory and decision-making. Geraldine Hue from Market Vision, Lyon, explained the importance of the first experience with a product, which creates an "emotional imprint" that informs a consumer's future relationship with that product.
The first Nespresso Coffee Conversation Symposium was well received by the speakers and panellists, who agreed on the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach in creating additional value throughout the coffee chain. The audience, comprised of an international academic and professional R&D community, likewise appreciated the role of Nespresso in bringing new perspectives and insights to coffee science.

Rivalry run-ins
Reed: K-State's Clemente shouldn't be punished for hit
Kansas University guard Brady Morningstar takes an elbow from Kansas State's Denis Clemente (21) during a 2009 game in Manhattan.
Feb. 17, 2009 KU men's basketball
The Jayhawks are preparing for more conference play this week. Mario Chalmers attended the women's game this weekend, while Russell Robinson made an appearance at the men's game in Manhattan.
Kansas University guard Tyrel Reed, who was recipient of a head slap by Kansas State's Denis Clemente while boxing out the Wildcat guard in Saturday's KU-KSU game, doesn't want to see Clemente disciplined following the incident.
"No. It's no big deal. No hard feelings," Reed said before Monday's practice in Horejsi Center. "The game is over with. There's nothing you can do about it now. We're just focusing on our next game."
The Burlington native said he wasn't even fully aware Clemente whacked him after the junior guard shot a free throw with 31 seconds left in KU's 85-74 victory in Bramlage Coliseum.
Reed had stepped in front of the player when the contact was made.
"It happened so fast. I didn't even know anything about it until today," Reed said, noting several of his teammates visited with him about it Monday in the locker room.
"It's over and done with."
KU coach Bill Self said he saw the tape of Clemente striking Reed, "but I'm not going to comment on that at all," he said. "I'm not going to do anything. I'm not calling attention to it, but, yes, I saw it. You can't help but see it if you watch the tape."
The Big 12 said it was reviewing the incident, as is KSU coach Frank Martin.
"We're dealing with that right now," Martin said on Monday's Big 12 coaches teleconference, asked if he was considering disciplining Clemente, who also was called for a technical foul for elbowing KU's Brady Morningstar.
On Monday night, Martin told the Wichita Eagle: "I'm in talks with the Big 12 on numerous things. Before I take any action, I want them to be aware of some things that are concerns of mine. Denis is on board with any decisions."
Self was more upset Monday at an accusation made by gopowercat.com publisher Tim Fitzgerald on the Internet version of Sunday's "The Drive" TV show. Self angrily disputed claims of Fitzgerald's staff members who said they heard KU players "wishing him (Clemente) bodily harm" and allegedly saying, "Where's your green card?" to Clemente during the game.
"That flat-out (ticks) me off because that did not occur," Self said. "We have coaches sitting between players. I am sure that did not occur. That does bother me a lot that anybody would say anything like that, more importantly that anybody would report hearsay like that."
Self reiterated on Monday's Hawk Talk radio show that his players did not bait Clemente with any 'green card' talk.
"I was on the bench. I didn't hear anything. We have coaches who sat next to players. They didn't hear anything. We have coaches sitting between players. They didn't hear anything. I have a good idea nothing was said like that at all during the game. That is disappointing something like that could be said without being confirmed at all.
"I don't think Tyrel Reed or Brady Morningstar were the ones out there chatting."
KU's Sherron Collins said he didn't hear any insults directed at Clemente.
"Racial slurs ... that's not us, not our character," Collins said, noting he joked with both Clemente and Jacob Pullen during the game.
"The bench may holler when they shoot, 'Miss it,' that's about it," Collins added.
KU center Cole Aldrich also didn't hear any trash talk out of the ordinary.
"I don't see any of our guys doing that," Aldrich said. "They have respect for players on the other team, respect for our guys and respect for the game of basketball. Between two rival teams, it's like Duke-North Carolina. Once in a while people just get a little excited because it's two rivals. You want to beat the other team as bad as they want to beat you. I wouldn't say it ever got to where anybody (on either team) was really talking at all. Guys on our team are good at talking to each other, encouraging each other on the court."
KSU coach Martin heard nothing out of the ordinary.
"I've got my bench to worry about. I've got no idea what's going on the other team's bench," he said.
Collins, by the way, said he was surprised by Clemente's behavior during the game. He said he enjoyed hanging out with Clemente at past summer Nike camps.
"I'm a little surprised at a couple cheap shots he threw. He threw one at Tyrel in the back of his head and elbowed Brady. I've never seen him act like that before," Collins said. "College is different, I guess. I'd never seen him like that."
Clemente had said after the game his elbow to Morningstar was in retaliation for a Morningstar elbow that went undetected by the refs.
"I didn't throw any elbows," Morningstar said. "I'm not trying to get in any arguments with him. I'm defending myself. If that's what he thinks, that's what he thinks."
•Morningstar wears boot: KU's Morningstar wore a boot Monday to protect his bruised lower-left leg. Self said Morningstar would have been able to play in a game Monday had one been scheduled. He should be able to play in Wednesday's game against Iowa State (7 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse).
•Signee breaks bone in hand: KU signee Thomas Robinson recently broke his third metacarpal on his left (non-shooting) hand. The 6-8 power forward from Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., said Monday night he likely will be out of action a week to 10 days.
Robinson grabbed 17 rebounds in a game last week while playing with the broken bone in his hand. He was unaware it was broken until visiting with doctors about swelling.
"I'll be back for the playoffs and all-star games," said Robinson, Rivals.com's No. 18-rated player nationally.
He's wearing a soft cast on his left hand.

jayhawker_97 10 years, 11 months ago
calm down, coach Self. no one would believe you would say such a thing like that. don't lose your cool. if it came from KU bench, that would probably come from Robinson! since he was there. just kidding...
hopefully we get to see another matchup against the stray'cats in the tournament. let's beak the crap out of them.
rock chalk!!
Brian Skelly 10 years, 11 months ago
If it did occur then its disgraceful.
But if it didnt, and Fitzgerald is simply reporting hearsay then he needs to look for another job.
Im gonna go out on a limb and say this guy backtracks hard off this. Just a guess.

Dick Murdock 10 years, 11 months ago
Clemente is a punk who amazes me that he is even in college. If you hear him talk (the press conference after their meltdown) you realize that he'd do well to get out of high school with a diploma - let alone college. If he makes it past this semester, KState needs to be seriously examined for academic fraud.
crjuenemann 10 years, 11 months ago
Fitzgerald's comments are lame. Is he justifying Clemente hitting someone?? Don't we tell little kids all the time that hitting someone who calls you a name isn't the answer?? What....do two rights make a wrong now?? I'm not saying the KU bench said anything, but if Fitz thinks they did, it still doesn't make what Clemente did right.
lance1jhawk 10 years, 11 months ago
Tim Fitzgerald... hmm how can I put this.... is a bald, fat, lazy idiot, douche bag. He is an embarrassment to journalist everywhere. KU should pull his credintials for this bit of slander.
Lone_salina_kufan 10 years, 11 months ago
I personally find it refreshing Bill Self reacted in such a way. Don't forget, Clemente transfered to KSU because "he couldn't get along with the coach." Translation: He is a clear attitude problem. Cultural differences at times cause people to react differently, but that was unexcusable. Even if it was said, I hardly believe Tyrel would've been the one to say it. He should be punished by the Big 12. He is a Grade A punk, and deserves a one game suspension.
Bill needed to address what is more than likely such slanderous comments about what Fitz said. It reflects on him, his staff, and players and their character.
hometownhawk 10 years, 11 months ago
I'll never watch The Drive as long as Fitz is on it. Period.

KWufan 10 years, 11 months ago
Here it is plain and simple. Fitzgerald is not acting like a reporter he is acting like a fan. A we had a big lead for 5 seconds and now we got murdered at home, AGAIN, cry baby whine attitude with these comments. I for one am glad he did it, so now we can see how truly classy we are compared to HIS university. And being a man of any intellect, he should have just said nothing to support Denny "where's Gottlieb when you need a comment" Clemente. And what happens? If this were our team, Bill would suspend that player immediately. What's Frank Martin going to do? It will be interesting to see, if he's a man of integrity or another sell out. Frank you know what the right thing to do is. No Clemente next game and all will be forgiven. Oh, yeah, nice schedule with 3 games in 5 days, OKLAHOMA being the last one!!!
kansasexplorer3128 10 years, 11 months ago
If Martin is going to take kids out of the barrio, he's going to have to take some of the barrio out of the kid. Clemente's attitude and "gangspeak" are going to get him in deep trouble in this part of the country. Man up, Martin.
Jerry Cross 10 years, 11 months ago
What is it with guards from other schools. First Miller with NU now Clemente with KSU. I am sure our guards are playing physical but who isn't these days. Bill has learned that you have to be tough and not be intimidated by what the other team's player's bring to the game.
The few upper class men we have left and Bill's coaching staff have proven they can prepare for anyone. If any of our team's players were insulting Clemente, Bill will deal with it. I doubt if it happened though.
merg311 10 years, 11 months ago
Fitz was also the one that reported that Gary Patterson would be KSU's next football coach...then that blew up. Take it for what it's worth...
blowhard 10 years, 11 months ago
Clemente acted like a punk but he'll learn from this episode, he's a good player...Lurch, er, Frank Martin, has a brilliant command of the word "f***" while he chews out his team frequently ...the morale on the K-State team must be bad for them to get consistently bitched out by their warden, er, coach...we're trying to win a Championship which is difficult enough...Bill Self handled this incident perfectly. GO JAYHAWKS!!!
Hawkish4bigM 10 years, 11 months ago
I didn't see it and don't know how Clemente conducts himself. IF he has a problem, he needs to be disciplined FOR HIS SAKE, and the sake of his team. He has to learn that he needs self control.
4jhawks4ku 10 years, 11 months ago
Wow, did everyone see how Brady Morningstar threw that blatant punch in the crotch area? I wouldnt have noticed it till it was brought up by all those enraged KState fans. Jack Harry just reported on the Monday 1000 Action News Channel in Kansas City that a blatant punch was thrown for no reason, which left poor Denis no choice but to retaliate.Funny, but the woman anchor told poor Jack she didnt see it that way at all. I'd hate to meet that Brady in a dark alley I'll tell you that. He is one badass dude to throw a punch on National TV and deliberatly try to injure one of his fellow Big Twelve Players. What choice did Mr. Clemente have but to elbow him under the neck in the throat area and then when he knew he was caught elbow him again in the small of the back?. ( Some might call these sucker punches but thats just me) but of course this was simply retaliation for being punked in his own house, gnomesayn? And then the punk Tyrel Reed, Jeez did you see him purposely throw that elbow and knock the poor lad completely off his feet while the young lad was busy bitch slapping the thug Reed in the face and arms. Reed must be every bit the thug as Morningstar. Surely Brady and Tyrel have made their appointments to visit the young lad Clementes' tatoo parlor next week to complete their image and hopefully that will ward off any sucker punches to the small of the back or side of the head. And poor Denis had every right to sucker punch that thug Tyrel for blocking him out on the free throw line. I bet that will keep the thug Reed from trying to punk him by doing that again. I really feel those thugs Reed and Morningstar let their coach and teamates down and almost ruined their thug image by walking away from a fight and not retaliating like any self respecting K stater would have.
rgale29 10 years, 11 months ago
This incident clearly shows the difference Self and other quality coaches and the many pretenders acting like coaches. Self's kid MM gets a T at Mizzou and with the game on the line, he sits on the bench. Principles!! Martin's kid gets a T and doesn't even sit at the time let alone the rest of the game. Shame on Martin and while it shows no principles it later showed ignorance, when he allowed the kid to be turned over to the media for post game comments. The kid blew his cool, was frustrated and he should have been disciplined and protected from further embarrassing himself. Clemente now is seen as a thug, maybe he is maybe he isn't, but his coach should have sense enough to keep him from embarrassing himself and the program in post game interviews and should never have made any comment until he and the kid looked at the tape so he would know that all he could do was apologize not make up an excuse that sounded like the kid was a high school dropout with a long rap sheet not a fine stat sheet. The elbow is on Clemente, the slap is on Martin as the kid shouldn't have been in the game, and the post game fiasco is on Martin. Even Clemente deserves better than Martin.
cffighter86 10 years, 11 months ago
Some of you people leaving comments are a damn disgrace. You get mad at Fitzgerald for claiming something that most likely didn't happen,because our team has class. BUT then go on to make your own racist jokes towards clemente...good god..some of you all are complete idiots...
yates33333 10 years, 11 months ago
Hopefully the league leadership objectively decides matters of discipline. Thus, whatever an opponent feels should happen should be irrelevant. If not, the league needs some leadership changes.
Martin Rosenblum 10 years, 11 months ago
Ah, the idealism that yates33333 brings to this board! Objectivity aside, if a coach has suspicions about a potential powderkeg of a player, HE should address it within the confines of HIS own program and let the rest of the league judge his actions as it relates to their past and future experiences with that player on the court. The league needs to work with the coach if he isn't effective in his role. If the coach and the league jointly have like issues with a scenario that has taken place, they need to mutually find the proper reaction/response and be consistent in their administration. The university also shares some responsibility through the athletic department at some point along the way as well.
Did we ever hear anything about disciplinary action or any other reaction from the Nebraska player, Cookie Miller's runble with Mario Little in Lincoln? That didn't even result in a T.
keith horinek 10 years, 11 months ago
Unfortunatly, if Clemente gets disciplined and has to sit out a game it probably will be tonight against NC Central who is 2-17 this year. you think that will teach him anything?
Joel Hood 10 years, 11 months ago
K-Staters always fabricate the most outrageous garbage about KU. In the late eighties HS friends of mine, who went to KSU, told me that Danny was the biggest coke dealer in town - they were dead serious. We really don't appreciate their hatred of KU. We may see it as a little brother/big brother rivalry, but they don't. They detest KU and will believe anything that makes KU look bad.
cklarock 10 years, 11 months ago
I'm not ready to throw Clemente under the bus. Brady did give him a shot just before Clemente's flagrant elbow to the back -- a fact most of us are pretending not to have noticed. Go back and re-watch your DVD. Brady = smart cheat. Clemente = stupid cheat. Advantage = Kansas.
In a heated game, all kinds of elbows and other cheap shots are being thrown left and right -- that's why Reed knows it's not a big deal . . . because it isn't.
Clemente's problem isn't that he throws 'bows, or that he's Puerto Rican, or that his English is about ten times better than my Spanish, it's that he's just not very subtle. And if he gets suspended for it, I suppose it's his own damn fault, because he's had 3 years now of D1 basketball to teach him how to do these things properly.
Topside 10 years, 11 months ago
clearly the incident between him and morningstar was not isolated. He is showing a pattern of behavior and will probably be more closely monitored by the refs. Proud of our boys for taking the high road. ALso, he better watch it because sometime they will play a team with a horrible record and cross a REAL thug who won't take his little crap. I would love to see it.
JayViking 10 years, 11 months ago
By the way, KSU is not a rival.
Toto_the_great 10 years, 11 months ago
Is there anywhere on the 'net that I can watch it. I didn't see Morningstar's elbow (no matter how many times I watch the play... it looked like tight, tough D to me), nor did I see Reed get slapped.
Blake Brown 10 years, 11 months ago
Actually, it is to our benefit that players like Miller and Clemente have gotten in our face. We grew up against KState and got tougher, a trait we need from here on out. Our youth just got a dose of the reality of what it is like to be Kansas and take everyone`s best shot, be it in the back of the head or otherwise. Controlled agressiveness is a new thing to our personality and one that will better prepare us for the Big Xll and NCAA tourneys.. Go Hawks!!
MyJayhawkBaby 10 years, 11 months ago
After watching the replay of the alleged punch that Brady gave him, I'm not sure if Brady did or not. As much as i want to out right say that Brady did not do it, the video shows a different story. However, if Clemente and Martin make this accusation to the Big 12 and Self, I would guarantee that Self would figure it out. As much as KSUck fans want to claim that Brady did throw that punch, my guts are telling me to trust the kid. My guts are telling me to trust HCBS. Self would not take this kind of crap from his players. if his players are out there throwing punches, that player will have NO CHANCE of playing on a Bill Self team. That said, Self will have the last word.
Tim Fitzgerald pisses me off, as well. You cannot come out and tell anyone that comments were made without providing truth. I'll tell you what. On Saturday, a friend of mine who went to the game told me that he heard the KSUck bench say they were planning on eating a baby after the game. It was their way of making a sacrifice to Satan. This is all based off of what a friend of mine close to the bench said, so it must be true. (BTW, I do not have audio or video, so you must believe me.)
Dear KSUck, please do not act like your s#!% smells like cinnamon rolls and fresh coffee. By pointing out dumb, stupid ass mistakes that players have made, (i.e. the shooting incident or Collins' trouble) doesn't make you better than any of them or negates ANYTHING your players have done (i.e. why isn't Clemente with Miami anymore.) Mudslinging is a two way street so don't start it without some being flung back.
DrPepper 10 years, 11 months ago
I know we hold our players on a higher plain, but I think it is sad that in these comments there are fans wishing Clemente bodily harm and projecting that Clemente is less of a person because his English is not very good or because he came from a place where one's hometown might be called a barrio. I am embarrassed by many of the Kansas fans. In addition, Fitz's antics get compared to a fan's. Pot, meet Kettle. That is my two cents.
RckChalkJeff 10 years, 11 months ago
Big surprise the KSUck media is a joke, just like the rest of their school, fans, town, etc..
jayhawkintexas 10 years, 11 months ago
Sometimes in the heat of the action, things get said or done that a player wouldn't normally do off the court (I kinda remember some things I did or said on the court that I shouldn't have done, even though they were only pickup games). An inadvertant elbow or hack across the arms/face gets interpreted as intentional and the opponent thinks they have to retaliate. That said, Clemente should be disciplined for the elbow he threw in Morningstar's back (and called for an offensive foul for the elbow he threw into Brady's neck) and the slap on Reed's head because they were intentional. He's probably a decent kid but needs to mature on the court and not let the pressure to beat us override his temper.
found it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y0aXS...
I don't believe it is a punch. Please follow me on this... I play a lot of ball and love playing D and feel I can hold my own against someone my size. To me, it looks like Brady was shift his balance as he was being crossed over (decent move on Clementes part). With his momentum shift because of the crossover, and the subsequent collision, I can see it as being thought of as a punch (arm wrong spot at wrong time), but to me, this is not a punch. Besides, the first Clemente elbow happened almost simultaneously with the first elbow (the one to the head).

The one with Morningstar here. Be sure to listen to the commentators, they call one of the KSU players their man and then go on to say how balanced the whole game they have been.

Wow! The head slap is just crazy. Who does that? A slap? Haha. Can we please stop calling Clemente a thug? "Thug" implies a certain level of toughness, and tough guys don't have slap fights.
Acceptable names for Clemente: Punk, Douche Bag, Poser, Prag, Bitch.
I am currently using Punk, but I believe he has Prag in his future. You could also use almost any combo of these. Douchie Prag has a nice ring.
Although, he may not even make it to prison. Seeing as how that in the real world that he craves, bitchy bratty head-slaps are returned with hot lead slugs.

Calling Clemente a Punk is directly related to his own behaviors on the court. His stupidity lost the game for Kansas State. He shouldn't only apologize to fans of both schools but to his own team because HE LOST THE GAME FOR THEM. And if the refs had seen other shoves and things by other K-State players then this reflects directly on the coach himself. Its almost like he directed them to bait the KU players into a fight. But the scoreboard shows who the better team is. 85-74 on K-State's home floor. Clemente should be disciplined harshly and the Big 12 and NCAA should investigate rather or not Martin directed these kids to do this crap. Fitzgerald on the other hand, he's a kook job. If you have an opinion, fine, so be it. Clemente lost his composure. Thats on him. Not anyone else. If the refs saw the 2nd one, he would have been ejected and no question that the Big 12 would come down on him hard which they should any way. Clemente is the reason KU created the separation in the game with one really stupid act of stupidity. Kansas State should suspend him for at least 3 games, and then only if he shows an improved attitude should he be allowed to play in any more games this season. When you watch Kansas Football or Basketball, when a kid starts to act like a punk, they get benched. Just ask Raimond Pendleton!

Oh the humanity...
The Mercury article I linked attributes Denise's conduct to "a Brady Morningstar high elbow". I've looked at the whole thing on Tivo forward and backwards in slo-mo numerous times. I just don't see Brady's body mechanics acting either aggressively or in a manner that would support Denise's allegations-much less anything that could be characterized as a "high elbow", aside from the neck-high chicken wing Clemente threw first in his attempt to get around Brady, that is. When the whistle blew, I initially thought that is what they were calling-not the elbow in the back.
I suspect the Big XII may ask K-st for their game footage. They shot the game from the opposite side of AFH East than the one used by the network. The back side perspective may give more insight and perspective into whether Brady actually punched Denise. Somehow I doubt it, but if so, you know Self will discipline him.
It will be interesting to hear what K-st fans have to say if the Big XII review clears Morningstar. Yeah, I know. KU has the Conference officials in their pocket along with all the refs and the Orange Bowl Committee and Judge Judy and...
It was also interesting to hear Kevin Kietzman yesterday on 810 talking about Tyrel's "aggressive box out on Clemente" as the reason for the subsequent retaliation. According to KK, Reed moved his rear back into Denise's groin and hurt him. Given Denise has no cojones, that is an anatomical impossibility. Even if that kind of move was injurious to the male genitalia, I suspect you wouldn't see anything like it on the dance floor either.
At least Denise has her respect intact. If only Fitz could say the same.
ku_foaf 10 years, 11 months ago
I didn't see the KU players throwing elbows, only Clemente. Maybe Brady did, I don't know. I recall Archie Marshall, who was the best (or worst) at getting people when the ref wasn't looking ... maybe getting a hothead to retaliate on purpose. I don't know this of course, and I am not accusing Brady of anything.
It is not racial to make fun of a guy's English who grew up in Puerto Rico and went to high school in Miami. It might be rude, but it is not racist. They are taught English from kindergarten through high school in Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans are US citizens, remember? No green card!
My wife is Mexican-American and grew up in Ft. Worth, TX. The pronunciation of people who were born and raised in her neighborhood who spoke English poorly were often the butt of jokes.. And yes, they were taught it at school also.
Growing up in a barrio is no excuse for being ignorant.
Pleas do not forget that THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY EVIDENCE TO BACK FITZGERALD'S CLAIM!!! At all. Many posters keep trying to defend what KU "said." Are we Mildcats and completely ignored the lack of evidence provided? As fans, we do stand behind our men and women, and as fans, we have the obligation to chastise a player for doing something wrong. To accuse the KU bench of racism is a SERIOUS offense. Even though I strongly believe that the bench made no comments, if it is proven true(again, very doubtful) we should not condone said words. Racist comments from individuals that represent this university not only hurts them, but the integrity of THIS UNIVERSITY!!! That being said, Fitzgerald's comments are not only a team matter, but a university matter because this effects the school as a whole. Future students, players, and teachers will take into consideration the comments. I hope that Fitzgerald steps up as a man and does whatever is necessary to clear these comments, true or not true. Do it, Fitzgerald, because you have no right to hurt our university in this way for a simple vendetta.
Clemente also screwed himself by retaliating. If he were smart, he would know that the correct response would have been to let the refs, as well as the conference officials, know of what was going on. Not by hitting back. In kindergarten we learned that rule. Clemente should not be berated for where he comes from. KU fans doing this does not make anything better. Instead, we should step up and say racism, in any form, is not tolerated! Racism, in any form, is disgusting, cruel, and ignorant. We should be angry at Clemente for his wild swings, not for where he comes from. we all come from many different places and many different cultures. Our parents came from many different places and from many different cultures. The value of a man or woman is not based on where they came from but where they are going.

Tyrel Reed a thug !! Haha. Very laughable.
Hawkin8r 10 years, 11 months ago
I didn't hear it but Kietz is an admitted KSU fanboy, so I'm not surprised he'd throw out any kind of justification possible. I read similar comments from other boards about an "overly aggressive boxout". Hey folks...in basketball that's an oxymoron unless you HIT the guy or hold him.
Tyrell's box-out on that play was a text-book example of how to execute one. You put your body on the guy...period. And since it happens on every single free-throw and missed shot, all the players know what to expect. That is an extremely lame excuse...especially when you see the replay.
I think Clemente was just pissed he missed that free-throw shot and he knew they were going to lose so he lashed out at the guy in front of him.
It looked to me that Clemente started unraveling when Marcus stole the ball from him later in the first half. From that point on, he was out of sync (which is good because he started out on fire).
From the couple times I have met Tyrel, be it the gas station or at my job, Tyrel has always come off to me as a very kind, generous, and respectable person. One time, at the gas station, he held the door open for me when he saw me getting out of my car. With a smile on his face, he said "here you go." Maybe i am biased. Maybe I am diving into fandom, but I think Tyrel is a good, decent person.
A good journalist would have proof to his statements, else that is slander. and slander is illegal, especially against an institution.

Remember when the big programs used to play all those preseason games against NAIA schools?
Occasionally a little guy from one of these schools would pop off or take a swing and someone like Scot Pollard, who did nothing to provoke him but play solid basketball. Scot would stop dead in his tracks... And grin back at the little NAIA guy.
We need to handle this the same way. As fans its worth a quick chuckle (not 3 days long) and then we move on and get geared up for our next game. This hitting/ elbowing from a little guy is a non-issue for us.
It's the Big 12's issue, not ours. Laugh and move on.
C'mon LJW, enough of this...Let's hear about Withey.
Not Clemente.

K-State is so hurt...
thehawkster 10 years, 11 months ago
Wow justthetip. His proof are his ears huh. Thats the best you got. Well Bill Self said he didn't hear anything with his ears so I guess thats our proof. Why dont you take some of your own advice and "take a step back and be realistic" because you don't know if something was said so dont make it out like there was. Also in regards to your response about someone saying clemente shouldve been smarter and not retaliated how can you not agree with that? So basically you are saying clemente is justified in hitting someone else b/c of what may have been said. Most rational people (not clemente and you) would shrug off what people say to them and not want to fight everyone that may say something hurtful.
Hey "JustTheTip". What about Clemente's actions in the Las Vegas tournament? That meltdown occurred only 7 games into the season.
"Clemente, K-State's junior point guard, fouled out after scoring only two points. His frustration was evident on several occasions, including once when an official had to step between him and Iowa's Jeff Peterson."
"I think he was still frustrated, like everybody else, with the loss yesterday," Martin said. "When he picked up those early fouls, he got a little frustrated.
http://www.cjonline.com/stories/113008/cat_361880776.shtml
I guess Clemente was still frustrated by the Iowa loss. Apparently everything that happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas, does it?
Even Fitzgerald referred to the Las Vegas incident this week on "The Drive". Note the quote above references "several occasions". What about the basis for his two suspensions from Miami? Hopefully that kind of activity is not "JustTheTip" of his immature behavioral iceberg, or he could become K-state's Titanic if you catch my drift.
In your 3:48 post you refer to Fitzpatrick's proof as his ears and the other reporters that purportedly heard the remarks. FYI, Fitz stated he was "told", not that he heard it himself. Who are the "other reporters" you refer to and where are their on the record statements to back Fitz??? If this was true, you would think they would be taking a number to pile on KU.
As for Collins, what do you base your "thug" comments on? He was cleared of any wrongdoing in the elevator incident, so there is no basis, logically or otherwise to keep up the inane drivel. You sound like a Mizzery fan in the KC Star's online comments. I'll bet you'd take him on the Mildcats team any day. Nevermind, I know, your guards are better...
I agree with several of the other posters above. Move on-nothing to see here. Besides, Martin suspended him for that crucial non-con game tonight. Is that a lesson or merely paying lip service to the problem? Somehow I'm dubious whether that will set him straight. I hope so for his sake. Time will tell.
JBurtin 10 years, 11 months ago
Wait a minute . . . I think I figured it out.
JustTheTip = Clemente
His english is certainly bad enough to support the conclusion. I'm still trying to figure out what the heck "nieve" means. lol
P.S. Why do the dumbest people always choose the most indefensible positions?

canuckhawk 10 years, 11 months ago
I'm going to make an assumption that our players say more than "Miss!" They may even say mean things. Ouch!
If our little bench creates such a hostile environment in that arena, then Bramblage may just be the worst home court in the history of college basketball. They are against their biggest rival (emotional rivalry is what I'm referring to here, not competitive) and yet our bench is so disruptive to Clemente that he basically melts down at the end of the game.
I don't buy it. From the game I watched, Bramblage was into it. There was no way that our bench got into Clemente's head. It was the game and inevitable loss that shuck him. KSU homers are trying to protect his psyche here, but the fact is that Clemente couldn't handle the pressure and he let his frustrations out on two of the guys that are the least likely to return his gesture with a fist in the mouth. The scouting report is out on Clemente, he is not emotionally tough. Refs are going to be watching him closer and opposing teams are going to harass him more relentlessly. My guess is that things don't get easier for Clemente from here out.
Matt1958 10 years, 11 months ago
Clemente claimed "I got my respect" by elbowing a guy in the back? What kind of ghetto, gang banger, crap is that? Sounds like something a convict on the TV show "Lock Up" would say. I remember when KSU would put class guys like Mitch Richmond on the court. What's happened?
No JustTheTip, I meant "logically", something you are apparently not familiar with.
Oh, and BTW, it's"naive", not your pathetic hooked on phonics version, "nieve".
As for Collins, he wasn't charged with any criminal offenses because there wasn't any evidence to support them despite the fact the issue was investigated by the KU police and KBI. Likewise, the plaintiff in the civil suit dropped the matter after the KBI indicated there wasn't any evidence to support her allegations. He said/she said and she couldn't meet the burden of proof. Apparently the phrase "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't mean anything to you, but given the quality or lack thereof in your posts, I'm not surprised you either ignore it when convenient or just haven't heard of the concept.
Just so you know, the above paragraph was about legal matters not logic . I don't want you to get confused again.
Don't want to discuss Clemente's history, I see. I'd also like to know how Clemente could have heard anything from KU's bench given all the noise in AFH East. The only time it quieted down was late in the second half when the outcome became clear and the fans stormed the parking lot.
Feel free to keep up the inane drivel. I suggested above we all move on, but you apparently just can't let it go. Whatever.
JayHawks2008Champs 10 years, 11 months ago
Ok, enough with all of this racial sh*t. He's a punk. This shouldn't have happened, but because K-State let their lead go at the end of the first half it's their falt. None of our players did anything to Denis or any other K-State player. That's it!
optichawk 10 years, 11 months ago
Come on, don't you realize how smart kstate fan is? They convinced Clemente to take the fall by drawing attention away for some silo tech idiot that made a fake cole aldrich voice mail message and was stupid enough to post it on youtube, exposing the lameness of the purplepussies to the world.
Voicemail from Cole Aldrich by skydog270
It was all part of a diabolical plan...that went horribly wrong!
Denis Clemente: Bring your power towel to every game (to cry in like you did after the beatdown at AFH-West on Saturday)!
Ron Prince: Bring your...oh wait, you are not there anymore after KU beat kstate's arse on the football field.
Sorry folks, I'm out of power towels (but that was one of the funniest youtube vids I have seen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A-05w... (218,700 views can't be wrong)
Bad_Dog, you are directionally challenged but otherwise you are dead on. And yes, that jerk's name is Fitzgerald (Fitzpatrick, Fitzsimmons, whatever...he's still huge). He still can't get his colleages to step up and corroberate his story.
My bad optichawk. You really can get to Manhattan/Bramlage by going east. You just have to travel 27,000 + miles to get there that way.
I'll try to do better next time ;-)
Oh please "Tip" cite the "multiple times" Sherron has been in trouble. If that were true, then he should be charged and if guilty, convicted. That would be both logical and legal-don't want you to get confused again but I can only do so much. You can't cite specific examples because they don't exist-no matter your closeted sexual preferences or how long you research.
You probably only "know" what happened on the elevator with Sherron because he turned you down, right?
And no, I didn't need to research the Earth's circumference. Some of us actually both learned something while in elementary school and graduated.
Keep calling me names and I'll have to go cry to Frank Martin. Perhaps I can learn some slapping techniques from Denise Clemente. I'd rather be the person you're so scared of than a hate-filled homophobe like you. What's next on your list of hate names-Nazi, Muslim, Socialist or "gasp" Gayhawk?
You know I was wrong above when I corrected your spelling of "nieve". You're more of a "Summer's Eve" type aren't you?
Bye, bye sweetie. I'll try to do better next time-just for you ;-)

6 Hrsper day
Canada weather November
What's the weather like in Canada in November?
The Canada weather in November can be quite mixed. This North American country is so vast that temperatures in the Artic north are extremely cold at this time, but in the southern coastal regions, close to America, it's much milder and can be above freezing for much of the month.
In the southern mountainous lands, around the Rockies for example, temperatures will be lower in November with the high ground stopping temperatures rising. Conditions here can be difficult to predict and quite changeable. Calgary is surrounded by open prairie grasslands and crisp winds can blow across these and reach the city. Snowfall is common in south Canada in November but not a certainty, unlike in the north.
Wrap up warm, because the weather in Canada in November will be cold. The average daytime high temperature across the entire country is -3°C, but you can expect this to be slightly warmer in southern cities like Calgary, Edmonton and Montreal. The wind speed will be about 9mph on average, with a wind chill factor dropping temperatures across most provinces. Cabin log fires are perfect for warming the chilly nights in ski resorts like Banff. The sun shines for eight hours on average in Canada this month. The average rainfall is just 23mm although snow will cover most parts of this huge country. The humidity level should be around 88%.

In 1959 the American writer and composer Paul Bowles, who by then had already taken up residence in Tangier, Morocco, received a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to document the musical heritage or Morocco for the Archive of Folk Culture of the Library of Congress. Bowles traversed the country in a VW Beetle, with an Ampex reel to reel recorder and an assistant, to record "approximately 60 hours of traditional folk, art, and popular music. Bowles collected in 23 villages, towns, and cities along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, from Goulimine in the Sahara to Segangan in the Rif country, and inland through the Middle and Grand Atlas ranges to Zagora in the Anti-Atlas."1 Additional recordings were made between 1960-1962. Only the southeastern part of Morocco was left out of the project due to the ongoing war in Algeria. A selection of the recordings was released commercially on vinyl in 1972.2 An expanded edition of that set, remastered and more extensively documented, was released in 2016.3
In 2010 the Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies (TALIM) commissioned the digitization of the recordings, with the support of funds from the Public Affairs Office of the U.S. Embassy in Rabat, the Wilaya of Tangier, and the Moroccan Ministry of Culture. The Aga Khan Documentation Center at MIT has agreed to make the recordings and the corresponding documentation available in this collection. Unless otherwise noted, all information presented in the descriptions and in the texts of the videos comes from the information provided by Paul Bowles, or from supplementary materials from the Paul Bowles Moroccan Music Collection of the American Folklife Center. The collection uses the names and spellings used by Bowles for people, places, and styles, but associates them with site records including contemporary and standardized names.
The cataloging of each recording and its supplementary materials takes full advantage of the capabilities of Archnet to situate the music within the context from which it originates or was recorded. Videos and notes are grouped into sub-collections based on the place where they were recorded. Links associated with each video connect each recording to the relevant notes, images and other material from the archive, as well as additional related material provided courtesy of the American Folklife Center, the Harvard Fine Arts Library, TALIM, and AKDC@MIT.
For the sake of internal consistency within the collection, items are cataloged using only the information provided by Paul Bowles in his notes and documentation. The spelling of names, instruments, tribes, and places has not been updated, corrected, or standardized. However, where appropriate, records have been linked to place name and other authorities that follow Archnet's transliteration standards.
This is a project that is under development. Items will be added as they are processed and cataloged. We thank you for your patience, and welcome comments or suggestions.

Jacarem is currently celebrating 30 years in business! Thank you to all of our customers, suppliers and staff for a great 30 years!
Terry Reeve started the company in September 1987 from a small office in his home. After 3 months of trying to work with 3 (very noisy) young children in the house, he had developed enough business to allow him to rent a small office locally.
Initially the company was solely involved in connector distribution and Positronic was one of the first franchise distributor agreements that Jacarem signed. We are still a UK distributor for Positronic d-sub connectors and power connectors today and recently our team have been concentrating on their vacuum flanges and hermetic feedthrough connectors with an aim to be Positronic's global leader in hermetics.
It has been Terry's belief to ensure that all of our office staff are trained to have product knowledge (to varying levels), so that they aren't just reliant on a part number. Customer service has always been a top priority and this ethos being instilled into staff members from day one appears to be a big reason why we have maintained some original customers from 30 years ago.
Terry realised that his customers had a need for cable assemblies as well as connectors. The Jacarem cable assembly division was initially started with one operator manufacturing ribbon cables. The demands for cable assemblies increased quickly and Terry had no option than to take on more staff which in turn meant moving again to larger premises.
During the telecoms boom, Jacarem also boomed and the cable assembly division was constantly at full capacity. New premises were required again to allow for additional staff and a larger stores area. More franchise agreements were signed with Erni, Conec and Sonitron and the property was re-structured totally in 2013 to allow for further expansion. We have invested in having an IPC/WHMA-A-620 Certified IPC Trainer at Jacarem and this consequently means that all of our assembly operatives are IPC/WHMA-A-620 certified. The quality of our work has meant that we have secured many high profile jobs as our customers know that they can rely on the products that we produce.


I have a Xamarin.Forms application. And I have an Editor control in a custon ViewCell in a ListView.
Usually, if a user makes a long press on an Editor control he/she has a text editor context menu (Select All, Copy, Paste and so on).
But if an Editor control is in a ViewCell with ContextActions, then context actions appears when a user makes a long press on an Editor control, not a text editor context menu.
And there are example screenshots of simple Editor context menu (XF_Android_SimpleEditor_ContextMenu.png) and Editor in List context actions insted of text editor context menu (XF_Android_EditorInList_ContextMenu.png).
This bug is related to the Xamarin.Forms on the Android platform only. On other platforms it works as expected: a text editor context menu is appearing in all cases.
What happens if you long press outside the Editor on other platforms? Do you see the context actions then?
