Jaromir Jagr – A Retrospective in Quotations
February 15, 2022 by THW Archives
This post was crafted by hockey journalist and author Ross Bonander.
Jaromir Jagr is as timeless as they come. We had Gordie Howe and Chris Chelios but Jagr may be best 'Old' hockey player ever.
He turns 50 today.
Explore everything hockey with THW's Hockeypedia pages.
Counting the two seasons he spent with HC Kladno in Czechoslovakia when he was 16 and 17 years old, and his gap years in the KHL, Jagr has played 29 straight years of professional hockey. He is one of 25 members of the Triple Gold Club–players who have won a gold medal at the World Championships, a gold medal at the Winter Olympics, and a Stanley Cup in the NHL. He's second among all-time scorers in the NHL and far and away the greatest hockey player trained outside of North America.

Characterized by the North American press as everything from innocent and a breath of fresh air to mercurial and enigmatic, his place among the all-time greats in the history of the sport of hockey is secured. I decided to take a look back at Jagr's career through quotations, both by him and by others.
Jaromir Jagr – The Kladno Kid
For the first 18 years of his life, Jagr slept in a bedroom that overlooked a feed pen in Kladno, Czechoslovakia.
Anna Jagr (mother): "As a boy he would spend hours alone by himself, drawing pictures."
One of the early scouting reports on Jagr came from Jack Button, the Washington Capitals' director of player personnel who'd traveled to Czechoslovakia to scout Jagr in the 1980s.
Jack Button: "You couldn't take your eyes off him. It doesn't take a genius to see how strong he is, how fast he is. And super hands— great quickness with both hands and wrists."
In the 1990 draft, some uncertainty surrounded whether or not he would be able to come to North America to play, since every Czech in the NHL before had defected. Although given serious consideration by the Quebec Nordiques to go first overall, he fell to fifth and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins. As a 13 year old, Jagr had seen 19 year old Mario Lemieux play in the World Junior Championships held in Prague in 1985 and instantly Mario became his hockey idol.
Jagr: "Sometimes you just have so much respect for a guy and you look up to him so much that you can't believe you're really playing with him. Every student needs a teacher, and [Mario] was my teacher."
Jagr was one of 22 Czech players to be drafted that year, a sum that includes names like Peter Bondra, Jiri Slegr, Petr Nedved (picked before Jagr, Nedved had defected and was playing in Major Juniors at the time), and Joroslav Modry. That's more than double the number of Czech-born players drafted in 1989, and over four times as many drafted in 1988.
Jagr: "I didn't ever have the chance to think about [doing something other than hockey]. If you want to be good at something, you have to give up everything and just go for it. Don't think about what else could be or can be."
Jagr did not immediately join the Penguins. He had already left school early to play with the national team and there was some concern about his ability to finish school in Pittsburgh. Both his parents had been denied the opportunity to go to college, so Jagr promised his parents he would one day finish his high school equivalency. He fulfilled this promise in 2002, at age 30.
Gordie Roberts: "Most of the guys in [the Penguins locker room] are hardened by the game, from the travel, from being sent down to the minors and back. Jaromir is just a kid. He doesn't even realize this is a business."
In the very early years of Jagr's career journalists frequently referred to him as 'coddled', perhaps in part because his mother came to live with him during the season. But the extraordinary work ethic that has come to be associated with Jagr and his longevity in hockey was well-defined even back then.
Jagr: "The work ethic has never been a problem. I came from a family in which hard work was every day. Even though I work hard in hockey this is nothing what I go through when I was younger on a farm, so this is like a vacation to me. Trust me, life can be a lot harder than what I do. Guys give me a lot of credit that I work hard but there's so many, so many people who work a lot harder than me who don't get the credit."
When he came to Pittsburgh, by his own admission Jagr didn't have much of a shot. So he would stay on the ice after every practice working on his shot with assistant coach Rick Kehoe.
Phil Bourque: "What people forget is his first few months in the National Hockey League were very, very difficult. He would be going down the ice with his head down and he used to get creamed. We would cringe on the bench. But it was baptism by fire. He learned real quick."
The Euro-Canadian
Although he comes from Eastern Europe, Jagr shares a lot of traits with hockey's greatest.

Like Gordie Howe, who could finish practicing with the Red Wings then head over to Tiger Stadium and crush baseballs over the fence, Jagr is an athletic oddity. Yet while genes may have gifted him with the frame, he earned the rest. Like Howe, Jagr grew up working long, difficult hours on a family farm.
Phil Bourque: "He was a wild child. That was his style. He just did his own thing."
Like Gretzky, he was a hockey prodigy. Skating by age two, he was playing in three leagues by age six. When he was 11 a physician declared Jagr to be in better physical shape than some professional hockey players, and he was allowed to play with the junior team in Kladno, where, like a youthful Gretzky, he took his lumps from older, jealous players.
Jagr: "When I played against other six-year-olds, I was great. When I played against 10-year-olds, I was average. [My father] wanted me to play where I was average."
His father, who sounds less like Walter Gretzky and more like Marijan Sakic, saw to it that his only son routinely played against kids two and three years older than he was. He hung iron slabs on either end of a tractor axle so that his son could lift weights. Jaromir Jagr the elder was a one-time hockey player whose knees gave out at 17, who held a blue-collar job and tended a family farm.
Jagr: "All my dad did was yell at me on the ice … Only the fear that he was there made me play better."
Like Orr and Lemieux, Jagr is such a gifted hockey player that opponents could figure out no other way to stop him except by cheating.
Gerry Callahan: "Jagr is the greatest one-armed player in the game."

Like Howe and Gretzky and unlike Orr and Lemieux, Jagr has endured the physical toll the game takes, but barely. His former coach, Eddie Johnston, said that Jagr was incessantly "getting hacked and whacked … That's what happened to Mario Lemieux. He ended up with his back injured from all that stuff."
Shawn McEachern: "He should practice with a 100 lb dummy strapped to his back because that's the way he has to play."
In his time, few players have taken more un-penalized crosschecks, holds and slashes than Jagr (Peter Forsberg a close second) . When fans call for the elimination of the instigator rule, it isn't because they want a player who can go after the guy who elbowed your superstar with a concussion-causing head shot, it's because they want a guy who can police these unseen but incessant infractions, this dirty style of stick work that breaks wrists and herniates discs.
Ron Wilson: "I was talking to Mike Ramsey not long ago in Detroit, and he was saying the only way you can stop Jagr is by fouling him. He sticks one hand out and he's so strong, you can't lift that hand."
Jagr's Jersey Number – 68
Following the unconditional surrender of Germany in 1945, an extreme leftist government took shape in Czechoslovakia. Among its first actions were the so-called Benes Decrees. These actions nationalized over 3,000 private companies, or two-thirds of the country's overall industrial capacity. One family affected was that of Jagr's paternal grandfather, also named Jaromir Jagr. Wealthy landowners before the war, the family could do nothing as the new government seized nearly all their land. Instead of being born into enormous wealth, Jagr was born into the darkest days of Communist rule.
Jagr: "When the Communists came, they took it all."
It is widely known why Jagr wears #68– the year of the Prague Spring, and the subsequent crackdown by both the Soviet Union and by Czech communists, which resulted in both his grandparents being jailed. Jagr defied communist rule in his country both by insisting on wearing the number when he played for the Czech National Team in the 1980s and by wearing his hair long.
Jagr: "The Communists gave you everything for hockey until age 18—ice time, equipment, everything."
Jagr's popularity in Pittsburgh in the early days rivaled that of Lemieux. Along with Jagr peanut butter there was the Frozen Jagr ice cream bar, the cost of which isn't hard to figure out. The pitch, meanwhile, is practically right out of Spinal Tap:
Dave Gehlman: "[The 68-cent Frozen Jagr Bar] is big. It's hard to finish. It's 11 1/2 percent premium ice cream. Your basic white ice cream [bar] is only 10 percent."
Jagr's Speed
In his early years Jagr enjoyed the game as much as he did the fame. He also became well known for racing down Interstate 279 in Pittsburgh.
Jagr: "One week I got three speeding tickets. They know who I am, but they don't care."
Somehow it was seen as charming that in less than a year's time Jagr had received two dozen speeding tickets.
Phil Bourque: "His bad driving habits were very well-known in town. He had a glove box full of speeding tickets, but he never paid them. And he would tick off policemen, because when he would get a speeding ticket, he would open up his glove box and just jam them in there. I don't know if he ever did pay them all."
When Jagr was playing for Avangard Omsk of the KHL in 2008 he told The Atlantic's Jeffrey Taylor:
Jagr: "Here in Russia, you have the real freedom, which is not like U.S. freedom. Back there you have so many rules. If the police stop you [in the U.S.] because you're going too fast, they can put you in jail. But sometimes you just need to go fast. Here, you always have choices."
Jagr was just as fast on the ice. Last year at The Hockey Writers main site I posted a tribute to broadcaster Gary Thorne, writing that,
"…[Thorne's] punctuated, staccato style, heavy with repetition, perfectly suited the continental cable broadcast: with higher definition and bigger screens, we needed a less-is-more methodology from broadcasters. It also perfectly suited the changing game: His arrival on the national stage coincided with the emergence of a game in which the biggest men- like Lemieux, Lindros and Jagr, were also the fastest, the strongest, the best."
I included a clip of Jagr scoring against the Flyers, in a call by Thorne that perfectly illustrated the point:
Jagr—
Look at the moves!
SCORES!
OOOH WHAT A MAGNIFICENT GOAL!
Matthew Barnaby: "He's hilarious — exactly the opposite of what I expected. I thought he'd be cold and act like a big star … Any time you have him on your side, you never think the game is over, no matter if you are two goals behind in the closing minutes."
John Cullen: "When you're sitting on the bench, it's just like it was with Mario. You watch. You can't help. You know Yaggs can get the puck and just take over the game. You don't want to miss it."
Colin Campbell: "The kid looks like he's having so much fun out there. Maybe what we have to do is play a miserable, snot-nosed game so he doesn't have quite so much fun."
Jody Shelley: "He loves hockey more than any guy in the room … He just wants to be on the ice. He's really different than I thought he'd be, just a great guy to be around for every single one of us."
The Traveling Jagrs
The Goals
His game one, game-tying Stanley Cup goal against Chicago in 1992 blew us all to bits.
Mario: "Probably the greatest goal I've ever seen."
Harry Neale: "There's only four people in the whole rink he didn't deke, and three of them are ushers."
Chicago coach Mike Keenan: "Inexcusable."
Jagr: "I make some moves and take a backhand."
But Jagr believes his most important goal came seven years later, in game 6.
Jagr: "I remember the game in 1999 we had to win against New Jersey in first round and if we didn't I guess the hockey club would move to Kansas City because they didn't have any money. We won that game in overtime when I scored. I felt that was the most important goal because it was a stay-or-leave goal. I think it was more important then the goal I scored in the Final."
The Complex Superstar
Jagr: "I don't trust anybody. I was born with that. It's very tough in this world to find somebody you can trust."
Jagr: "If you talk to reporters, they like to have questions be serious and be about something. I don't like that kind of stuff. I like to joke around all the time, and sometimes what I say I don't mean. Ninety percent of the time I'm just joking around. Life is a joke for me, I would say."
Jagr: "A lot of people want to be serious all the time. I was born to have fun all the time. When it's the game, I take it serious. That's serious business."
Jagr: "I don't think I'm a strong person. I try to be. I'm not. I just act that way. I've got too much feeling to be a tough person. I gotta act like I do, because a lot of people will take advantage of me and hurt me. Sometimes you gotta be mean. I know it's not me, but it has to be that way. I just have to act tough or whatever. Be cocky."
Jagr: "Most people have friends but no money. I have the opposite. I don't have a chance to talk to my real friends, the ones I've had since I was five years old. Sometimes I wish I could bring Czechoslovakia to America. Then I would be the happiest guy in the world."
The Immovable Object
Mario: "Guys like Jagr, you can't scare him. He's 6-3, 225 pounds. He's the strongest guy on skates I've seen in years."
Eddie Johnston: "I don't know anybody who's stronger on his skates."
Gerry Callahan: "Jagr scored the game-winner with a blind backhander from the left circle while wearing Quebec center Bob Bassen like a shawl. It was a goal very few mortals could score."
Ron Wilson: "He's the best one-on-one player in the game now, and maybe ever. You can't knock him off the puck."

Kyle McClaren: "He's not only big, he's strong on his skates. He loves to beat you one on one. He'll laugh at you. He wants to embarrass you."
Lindy Ruff: "We play a two-on-one against him. We always have a guy in support. He's the one guy that can beat anyone one on one down low, just on size and strength."
Chris Osgood: "He's the most potent one-on-one player in the league."
Scotty Bowman: "His skating style and strength make him almost impossible to stop one-on-one."
Ray Bourque: "You play him too close, you get too aggressive, and he'll just spin right off you and he's gone."
Hockey Sense
Eddie Johnston: "He knows the game better than anyone on the team. He's very smart out there. He knows the little things, things you can't teach. He knows how to play the angles and how to protect the puck. You know where he got that? From Mario."
James Van Riemsdyk: "He always puts the guy chasing him at the wrong angle. If he's close, he hunches forward and keeps his body down so you can never reach his arms or stick. He gives you the biggest obstacle to the puck before you even get to him. If you're coming from greater distance, he leans so [your momentum forces you to] roll off him."
Jaromir Jagr (THW Archives)
Michael Farber: "Jagr is the most self-reliant player in hockey."
Glenn Healy: "Jagr is an '80s player because he holds on to the puck and tries to make plays. He won't give it up until there is absolutely no other play, which isn't often, because he has the ability to make something out of nothing, even a one-on-three."
Jason Woolley: "I've seen some nights where he just baffles the best defensemen in the league."
Dave King: "There are probably four ways to play Jagr, all of them wrong."
Scotty Bowman: "When Jaromir gets the puck, he's always thinking, Where can I go with it? He reminds me of Maurice Richard in that way. They both played the off-wing, and both had so many moves I don't think either knew which moves they were going to do until they did them. Totally unpredictable."
Bobby Francis: "He's like a Gretzky the way he'll cut back with the puck and look for the late man. And then he's like a LeClair, using that long reach of his to wrap around the net. He's like a Samsonov with those hands. You're talking about a lot of key components, and Jagr's got 'em all."
Jagr: "Around the net I would like to be as good as Cam Neely. Passing the puck, I'd like to be as good as Wayne Gretzky. My shot, I'd like to be as strong and smart as Mario. Defensively I'd like to play like Ronnie Francis. But playing in the corners, I would keep myself the way I am."
Scotty Bowman: "He's a different type of player than the league has seen in a long time. He has a lot of Frank Mahovlich in him."
Jaromir Jagr Plays in the KHL
In the summer of 2008, Jaromir Jagr left the NHL for the Siberian city of Omsk, to play in the KHL. He returned to the NHL in 2011.
Jagr: "[Leaving the NHL] was the toughest decision in my life … hockey-wise I hate making changes."
Jagr: "Look at A-Rod. No matter how well you do [in New York City] — they always want more. Expectations only climb higher. In Russia you don't have to worry if you make a mistake. And that's what I love about living here. There's always another way to make up for it. Nothing's too serious. Nothing is a problem, and at the same time, everything's a problem. But somehow no matter how bad things are, you can always work it out."
Jagr: "Russia changed me. Not much pressure. Not many distractions. Not many rules. I could follow my own, and I took them seriously."
During one of his first games, Jagr was sitting with 19 year old teammate Alexei Cherepanov when the kid had a fatal heart attack.
Jagr: "It makes you think your time should be special."
At the 2010 Olympics against Russia, Alexander Ovechkin famously hammered Jagr with a thunderous hit.
Jagr: "Before you ask me the question, I know I make a mistake. It was a big mistake. The hit, I don't really care. But the mistake was the turnover I made. They scored a goal. That hurt me the most. If something's hurt, it always heals. But the mistake is not that easy to heal."
Jaromir Jagr (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
Jagr: "I had a chance to watch and play with the best player ever in Mario, and that's probably the best thing that happened to me in my life."
Jagr: "Mario and those other guys gave me [two Stanley Cups] when I was young. I wasn't a big part of those teams. That's why I call it a gift."
Jagr: "I love this game, and I wish I could play forever. But I know it's impossible. I won't be young, and I won't be healthy. I know I'll have to quit. I know it can't be like this forever."
Rick Tocchet: "What's different about him, I think, is that you can tell he's having fun out there. It's the kid in him. He loves to play, and he's always smiling. I don't know how long that will last, but hopefully, he'll always keep the kid in himself."
Jagr: "If you want to be better than everybody else you have to work harder than anybody else, there's no other secret to it."

Emperor Obama's Health Bill Has No Clothes
aandeileenmcgann
Due to pressure from enraged Americans, the most pernicious features of Obama's health care legislation have, for now at least, been stripped from his bill. This is no time for complacency, however, since the liberals are trying to push back and get the provisions back in.
As the bill now stands, it doesn't have any teeth.
— Without the public option, the government does not have the financial clout to enforce the decisions of the new secretary of health about the protocols of care to be followed. The left had hoped that the federal public option insurance company would put the private firms out of business and leave a single, governmental payer in place.
This single payer could slice reimbursements to providers at will and bring them into line offering low cost, long waiting lists and rationed medical care. But with no expansion of Medicare to those over 55 and no federal public option, the secretary of health won't have the power to force bad medical care down the throats of the American people.
— Relatively few new people will get health insurance. The costs of coverage are too high, the subsidies too shallow and the punitive fines too low to force people to buy policies they don't want and think they don't need. What young, childless couple is going to pay 8 percent to 12 percent of their income for insurance rather than just pay the $1,000 fine for not having coverage? Oddly, this bill is really just a tax on the uninsured.
— Without the feared flood of new patients into the system, the rationing that threatened may not be as bad as it once seemed. With only a few newly insured people, the long waiting lists and shortages of medical personnel Massachusetts is experiencing under Romney-care may not happen nationally.
— The cuts in Medicare are to be proposed by a special commission in the Executive Branch akin to the federal base-closing commission that decides which military bases to shutter. But then they will have to be approved each year by Congress. A former secretary of health and human services under a Republican president told me recently that he expects that the cuts will be vetoed by Congress each year and never really take effect. He says that the savings won't materialize and the additional costs of Obama's program will just be financed through even more deficit spending. He cites, for example, the refusal of Congress each year to approve the automatic 6 percent cut in physicians' fees that the legislative branch has laid over for each of the past five years.
What's left is a bill that expands Medicaid to cover more of the poor and working poor. It requires that all states cover everyone making 150 percent or less of the poverty level. This will end the practice of many states of restricting Medicaid, in effect, to the elderly in nursing homes.
Arkansas, for example, only covers up to 17 percent of the poverty level (about $4,000 of income). Under the new law, anyone in the state whose income is less than about $27,000 will have to be covered. This provision will, of course, mean much higher state taxes throughout the South and in Texas, California, Pennsylvania and Florida, states will low Medicaid thresholds.
The rest of the bill is essentially a consumer protection statute that bars insurers from denying coverage to anyone and stops them from charging more for those who are sick. Both the expansion of Medicaid and this reform of insurance company practices could have been achieved in considerably less than the 2,000 pages of dead trees that this bill consumed.
There are still bad parts of the legislation:
— Medicare Advantage, an important program for 10 million elderly, will be gutted and replaced by Medigap insurance, which is more limited in coverage, higher in cost and more profitable to the AARP.
— Medical devices — from pacemakers to automated wheelchairs — will still be taxed, and sick people will be forced to pay higher taxes and deduct fewer of their medical costs.
— Reimbursements under Medicare are likely to continue to drop, forcing more and more providers to refuse to treat patients under the program.
But Obama is left with the symbol of a victory but not much substance. He will still sign the bill — if it ever passes — with great fanfare, but the substance of the legislation will be painfully thin.
We haven't dodged the bullet yet. The left is still to be heard from. But the momentum against the bill and the focus on its worst provisions is paying off. Keep up the pressure!

Prithvi throws Sherlin on the bed, Preeta enters and sees them together, HE starts to make an excuse by saying that Sherlin was crying, he starts to explain that he was only passing by when he saw that she was crying and it may be because that's he has just came back from the hospital. Preeta sees the room which has been turned upside down, he say that Sherlin might have done this because she must have been feeling pain and has done this. He says that both Karan and Rishab are very rude but he still came to check on Sherlin because he is a good person. Preeta asks him why the door was locked, he says that he did it so that no one would come to know that Sherlin is crying and get tensed. He hands her the phone.
Prithvi is saying that she was crying all the time, Prithvi sees her and realizes that he might not have bought his story.
Karan and Rishab are both having a joke when Shrishti and Sameer come and say that they could not find Manisha and Rithwik, Rakhi comes and says to them that she saw both Manisha and Rithwik and they were really close, she explains and they discuss that they will be fighting because she did not know of the plans Rithwik had made. Shrishti and Sameer take this task to keep an eye on both of them and they leave. Rakhi asks Karan if he found the reports Karan says that he was not able to, she goes to find them, Rishab asks him if they are positive, he says that he is not sure and will check first.
Sherlin is crying, Prithvi goes to her and tries to calm her down, Preeta does no like this and says thinks that it is because Karan made her doubtful or because he is really doing wrong, Prithvi realizes this and turns back asking her what the matter is, she says that she has to leave, Prithvi tries to flirt with her but is unsuccessful, she says that she has to go and leaves. He also comes with her but she ditches him and he goes back to Sherlin, they both plan and decide to work carefully, She says that she knows that he is really starting to love Preeta, he starts to deny it but she say that she can see that he has started to love Preeta and it cannot be so because he has to leave her.
Manisha is not convinced with Rithwik and says that he cannot trust the Luthras. He however says that they have to join hands with the Luthra's because they are very rich, she says that it cannot be that he got the deal because of his experience and it was because of the accident that he got into, she is still not convinced and very confused.
Shrishti and Samer get outside the room and start to hear what they both are talking about, they hear that Manisha and Rithwik both have very opposite views, she doesn't listen to him but he makes her realize that they have to get out of this mess because Prithvi will never give them any money , She realizes this and agrees when he says that she got into this mess because of him and must trust him once again, she agrees, Sameer and Shrishti get very excited to hear this news and go to tell Rishab.
Karan is walking in the hallway and thinking of how ca he find the reports, accidently he spoils the decoration and gets very nervous fearing that Rakhi will scold him now, he decides to fix it by himself but is unable to do it saying that it is a girls thing, Preeta from behind say that he is wrong, Karan gets scared and says as that Men can do only things that require strength like playing Cricket, she however says that there is a girls women team now, he must not consider girls to be less than anyone, he asks her why she is always fighting him, she say that he is the one who starts it and she cannot help it. He says that he is right and girls cannot do everything, she say that's he will say something that hurt him, he asks her to tell him then she says that she defeated him in a cricket match, he gets angry saying that she remembered his defeat and leaves, she goes after him and cheers him, he ask where she went, she says that's he went to Prithvi, he asks if he was with Sherlin, she does not say anything, he say that he has said it before and will say it again that Prithvi is not a good person.
Precap: Preeta asks Rishab to not blame her if anything happen stop him, he says that he is sure that nothing will happen ti him because she is with him, she is about to leave but he stops her.


Sorry for the delay everyone! Here's the RAAAAAAAAAAAATTTIIIIIINNNNNGS!
That was boss. Bournemouth are perfect home opponents when you need a nice, easy win, and sure enough they obliged. It was actually a pretty mediocre and nervy start to the game, but the first goal eased tensions and all was good after that. In fact, the only downside was that we didn't score three or four more.
Alisson (7) At last! A clean sheet! And he also saved a shot that was on target, which has been a rarity in the last few weeks. Turned a belting effort from Mousset around the post later too.
Robertson (8) Much better than in recent weeks, and piling into tackles early on got the crowd baying for more. He was all over them in defence and attack, and created several great opportunities, including the pass for the second goal. An assist machine! I've no idea why they gave him the run of the left hand side, but he made them pay.
Virgil (7) Looks like he's shrugged off the dose of the Dubai Shits that wrecked parts of the squad, this was far more like the imperious majesty of his normal game as he improved minute by minute. Won everything in the air, and even legged it all the way up the pitch in one late counter-attack.
Milner (7) Much, much sharper, he was another who shrugged off the bug and looked like his usual self. Brimming with energy, set up another goal with a lovely cross and also kept Fraser quiet. A blur of industry and full-blooded commitment.
Fabinho (8) A really impressive display of destructive, holding midfield play - actual tackles and stuff! - he was positioned smartly and cut off options and angles, quelling any attacking opportunities early. But also started to mix up his passing, with sharp short passes combined with some lovely long balls to the flanks, where Salah and Mane were lurking.
Wijnaldum (9) What a game. He's another who has been struck with illness following the ill-fated Dubai trip, but he got off his sick bed to inspire this win, with a performance of calm, controlled midfield mastery. He even managed to actually score a rare goal with a beautiful chipped finish. Outstanding.
Keita (7) Ah, finally. After a dismal start to his Liverpool career, this was much more like it. Seemed more confident with Fabinho and Wijnaldum freeing him up to be more attacking and creative, but paradoxically this also seemed to encourage him to be more involved defensively. He did lots of the unseen dirty work, picking up possession and making interceptions. Sumptuous pass to Firmino for the third goal. This is the level he needs to stay at.
Mane (8) Yet another crucial goal from Mr Reliable, this one settled nerves and then Mane carried on where he left off, a menacing whirlwind of attacking intent. Should have scored another with a sitter of a header in the second half.
Salah (8) Looked like the same old story early in the first half - crowded out, starved of space and time - but then turned it on, leaving Bournemouth gasping with his pace, skill and brutally efficient attacking play. Scored one - his 17th league goal of another brilliant season - hit the bar, and forced a great save with another swerving shot. Oh yeah.
Firmino (7) He's had a rather up and down season, but his diabolical, embarrassing display at West Ham was forgotten, as Firmino really turned on the style in the second half, with some frankly outrageous passing, flicks and back-heels causing multiple aneurysms in their backline. Weak effort later on was disappointing, but his game isn't about goalscoring.
Ijg, Squiggles, Frogfish and 5 others like this.
Remember when some questioned Mane!!
Eh? He's been very good since he signed and was very good before he signed. He's generally just very good.
Before his latest run of goals a fair few were questioning his place in the team and that they would take Sane over him.
No way. He's vital as he's the only player who constantly carries the ball at players and has blistering pace. Salah for all his goals doesn't do that as well as Mane.
Nah there were a fair few people which I just didn't agree with. He'll have inconsistent games but always will be in my 11 regardless of form. He never ever hides or doesn't work for the team.
Dreambeliever and mark1975 like this.
He's definitely the most "direct" out of all of our players, he just goes at teams. Salah does that too but in a slightly different way, with alot more skill and close control, Mane can just knock it beyond a player and grab a yard straight away, which is crucial to this team. It's why the three do so well, because they're so different. Firmino for his vision and moments of individual invention, Salah for his clinical strikes and ability to take players on at close quarters in/around the box and Mane for his sheer pace and ability to pop up with all sorts of goals.
Oh he can be infuriating, and he could certainly be better with his final ball, but he's easily one of our most important players, and he's also our second best goalscorer.
And he is completely two footed which is a great asset in and around the box.
I'm not sure he'll get much better but I'm happy to accept him if this is his level.
If he was much better he'd be in top 10 in the world.
I think Keita and Firm are deserving of 8s.
Frogfish, Mystic and LeTallecWiz like this.
Mane also doesn't get enough credit for how often he intercepts or wins the ball back.
Frogfish, gene hughes, mark1975 and 1 other person like this.
Insignificance, doctor_mac and iseered like this.
They were shut down on the spot. If you were to put him on the market every team on the planet would be interested.
Disappointed they didn't show Gini legging it to the toilet at half-time, other than that – boss.


I was unzipping multiple .rar files on Mac with OS 10.13.1. Something went wrong and I deleted the extracted files and the zip folders. But now, I can see that lot my storage space on my back is occupied.
On further investigation I noticed that the space is occupied in Users folder. But the folders and file size in the Users do not add up to that size.
Where can I see these hidden files, certainly these are created by Keka in the extraction process.
Please assist so I could restart the extraction process.
cd /Users/YOURUSERNAME | find * -name ".Keka-*"
Let me know if this did the trick. Keka version 1.1.0 (currently under beta progress) has a fix for this issue.

Henry Lewis (* 12. Januar 1819 in Newport, Grafschaft Shropshire, England; † 16. September 1904 in Düsseldorf) war ein US-amerikanischer Landschafts- und Genremaler, der sich von 1853 bis zu seinem Tode im Malermilieu der Düsseldorfer Schule aufhielt. Von 1867 bis 1881 war er außerdem Konsularagent der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika in Düsseldorf. Eine besondere Bedeutung erlangte er in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts als Schöpfer eines bewegten Panoramas und eines reichhaltig illustrierten Buches vom Mississippi River.

Leben

Kindheit
Lewis wurde als Sohn von Thomas G. Lewis in Newport geboren, einer Kleinstadt in den West Midlands Englands. 1829 wanderte er als Zehnjähriger mit seinem Vater und zwei Brüdern nach Boston in die Vereinigten Staaten aus, wo er eine kurze formale Schulbildung erhielt. Danach trat er eine Ausbildung zum Zimmermann an. Als eifriger Leser besuchte er in seiner Freizeit eine Bibliothek, die ihm unter anderem die Lektüre von James Fenimore Coopers romantischen Schilderungen des Wilden Westens ermöglichte. 1836 zogen Henry Lewis und sein Vater nach St. Louis, Missouri, wo George T. Lewis, Henrys Bruder, bereits wohnte und Henry eine Arbeit als Bühnenbauer des Theater- und Opernhauses fand. In ihrem neuen Wohnort nahmen beide die US-amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft an.

Frühe Jahre als Maler

Als junger Mann entschloss sich Henry Lewis, Künstler zu werden. 1845 eröffnete er zusammen mit James F. Wilkins, einem ausgebildeten, aus England stammenden Kunstmaler, ein Atelier. Bald hatte seine weitgehend autodidaktische Malerausbildung einen Stand erreicht, dass er nach lokalen Maßstäben als "Landschaftsmaler von mehr als gewöhnlichem Verdienst" angesehen wurde. Zu seinen ersten Motiven gehörte eine Panorama-Ansicht von Anwesen in reichen Vororten am Illinois-Flussufer von St. Louis, die er Western Metropolis nannte. 1846 schickte er das Bild zur American Art-Union. Danach präsentierte er es auf einer Ausstellung in St. Louis und errang damit den ersten Preis. Sein künstlerisches Interesse galt besonders dem Mississippi River, den er auf Studienreisen in den Jahren 1846, 1847 und 1848 erkundete. Auf seiner Reise des Jahres 1847 begleitete er den Geologen David Dale Owen auf einer Erkundungsfahrt in das St.-Croix-Tal. Außerdem war er seit dieser Zeit häufig Gast des Armee-Hauptmanns und Malers Seth Eastman (1808–1875), damals Kommandant von Fort Snelling, und seiner Frau, der Schriftstellerin Mary Henderson Eastman (1818–1887). Auf seiner Studienreise des Jahres 1848 war Lewis in Begleitung des Journalisten John S. Robb, der der Zeitung St. Louis Reveille lebendige Berichte der gemeinsamen Flussreise schickte. Robb berichtete den Zeitungslesern auch davon, dass Lewis' Skizzen zu einem bewegten Panoramabild des Mississippi entwickelte, das vor einem Publikum durch Abrollen von Bildern mit Flussansichten von Städten und Szenen vorgeführt werden sollte. Den Plan dazu hatte Lewis wohl seit etwa 1846 gefasst und fortlaufend entwickelt. Den Anstoß dazu dürfte er durch andere Hersteller erhalten haben, die seinerzeit in St. Louis ihre Panoramen öffentlich zur Schau stellten oder Panoramen entwickeln wollten, insbesondere von dem franko-amerikanischen Maler Leon Pomarede, mit dem er 1848 dazu vorübergehend kooperierte. Zwischen 1846 und 1849 wurden in St. Louis und anderen Städten dem Publikum sechs bewegte Panoramen vorgestellt, 1846 das angeblich drei Meilen lange Panorama von John Banvard, 1848 das Leviathan Panorama von John Rowson Smith, dessen Länge sogar mit vier Meilen angegeben wurde. Im September 1848 stellte Lewis ein Team zusammen, das seine Skizzen auf große Leinwände zu übertrug und so das eigentliche Panorama von 12 Fuß Breite und mehr als 1300 Fuß Länge entstehen ließ. Hierfür gewann er den Maler John R. Johnston, aber auch den späteren Architekten Edwin F. Durang, den späteren Bühnenmaler John Leslie und James B. Laidlow, einen Bühnenmaler aus Schottland.

Die Zeit als Panorama-Schausteller
Nachdem das Panorama im August 1849 fertiggestellt worden war, wurde es in der Folgezeit in St. Louis und auf einer großen Amerikatour, die von Milwaukee über Chicago bis in die großen Städte der Ostküste ging, erfolgreich aufgeführt. Die Präsentation erfolgte zweiteilig – in einem Teil Upper Mississippi und einem Teil Lower Mississippi – an zwei verschiedenen, auf einander abgestimmten Orten, jeweils mit Vorlesung von Erläuterungen zu den dargestellten Einzelszenen und mit Musikbegleitung. Sein Partner bei der Präsentation des Panoramas war Washington King, der später Bürgermeister von St. Louis wurde. Nachdem es in Cincinnati aufgeführt worden war, wo 1848/1849 das Panorama entstanden war, beschrieb die dortige Western Art-Union es als "by far the best that we have seen" ("bei Weitem das Beste, was wir gesehen haben"). Geringeren Erfolg hatten weitere Aufführungen in kanadischen Städten, so dass Lewis sich Ende 1851 entschloss, das Panorama in seinem Geburtsland Großbritannien zu präsentieren. Nach Aufführungen in England zog er im Frühjahr 1852 weiter ins niederländische Den Haag. Ende 1852 stellte er das Panorama im Cürten'schen Saal an der Berger Straße in Düsseldorf aus. Dem Maler Charles Wimar zufolge verfehlte das Werk seine Wirkung beim deutschen Publikum. 1853 ließ sich Lewis in Düsseldorf nieder, von wo aus er weitere Touren mit seinem "Original Reisen-Cyclorama" unternahm. Als sich jedoch herausstellte, dass er mit dem Bild kaum noch einen Profit machen konnte, entschloss er sich es zu verkaufen. Einen Käufer fand er 1857 in einem Niederländer namens Hermens (oder Hermans), der im Sommer 1860 nach Zahlung nur des halben Kaufpreises sich und das Bild nach Kalkutta einschiffte. Berichte über den weiteren Verbleib des Bildes existieren nicht.

Das Bilderbuch über den Mississippi

Möglicherweise hatte Lewis bereits seit 1848 geschäftlichen Kontakt mit Heinrich Arnz, dem Eigentümer der Verlagsgesellschaft Arnz & Comp. aus Düsseldorf, um ein "work on the Mississippi" herzustellen. Jedenfalls konkretisierten sich die schriftstellerischen und lithografischen Arbeiten zu dem Bilderbuch mit dem Titel Das illustrierte Mississippithal in den Jahren bis zum Herbst 1857, ehe die komplette deutschsprachige Fassung des Buches mit 431 Seiten und 54 Lithografien in den Verkauf gehen konnte. Das Werk, das in Teilen schon ab 1854 publiziert wurde, schilderte den deutschsprachigen Lesern in einer Ansammlung von Berichten, die Lewis ohne Nennung von Quellen zusammengetragen hatte, die Gegenden des Mississippi sowie Ereignisse in ihrer Geschichte und Bräuche ihrer Einwohner. 1858 wechselte die Firma Arnz & Comp. infolge eines Betrugsskandals den Eigentümer. Das Projekt der englischsprachige Ausgabe The Valley of the Mississippi Illustrated, deren erster Teil bereits 1854 in der New Yorker Daily Tribune beworben wurde, geriet dadurch in Mitleidenschaft. Nur Fragmente davon erschienen in einem Aachener Verlag und blieben erhalten.

Leben im Düsseldorfer Malermilieu

Als sich Lewis 1853 in Düsseldorf niederließ, galt die Stadt am Rhein mit ihrer renommierten Kunstakademie als eine der führenden Kunstmetropolen Europas. Dies war der Grund, dass sich als Teil eines größeren internationalen Malermilieus eine Kolonie US-amerikanischer Maler in der Stadt befand und regen Anteil an den gesellschaftlichen und geselligen Aktivitäten der Kunstszene nahm, etwa an den Festivitäten den Künstlervereins Malkasten, dem auch Lewis in den Jahren von 1855 bis 1867 mit Unterbrechungen als Mitglied angehörte. Viele US-amerikanische Maler studierten in den 1850er Jahren in Düsseldorf, unter ihnen Albert Bierstadt, George Caleb Bingham, William Henry Furness, James Hart, William Stanley Haseltine, John Beaufain Irving II., Eastman Johnson, Enoch Wood Perry, William Trost Richards, William Dickinson Washington, Charles Wimar und Worthington Whittredge. Mit vielen von ihnen unternahm er gesellige Reisen in romantische Gegenden der Rheinprovinz, etwa im Juni 1854 an die Nahe. Irving, ein Düsseldorfer Student aus Charleston/South Carolina, malte um 1856 ein Porträt von Lewis. Ein Mittelpunkt der US-amerikanischen Malerkolonie war das Privatatelier des deutschamerikanischen Historienmalers Emanuel Leutze, der viele seiner Landsleute als Privatschüler unterrichtete, so im Jahr 1858 auch Lewis. 1859 erhielt er von Leutze, der in jenem Jahr wieder in die Vereinigten Staaten übersiedelte, das Angebot, dessen großes möbliertes Haus und Atelier zu übernehmen. Dieses Angebot nahm er wahr und zog mit der aus London gebürtigen Maria Jones ein, mit der er sich 1857 verlobt hatte und die er 1859 heiratete. Während Lewis malte, leitete seine Frau den Haushalt und die Vermietung von Zimmern. 1866 zogen sie in ein großes Stadthaus in der Alexanderstraße 26 (heute Stadtteil Stadtmitte), wo neben dem kinderlosen Ehepaar auch die Schwägerin von Lewis und vier Hausgäste wohnten. Bis zum Beginn der 1870er Jahre erzielte Lewis gute Einnahmen aus dem Verkauf seiner Bilder auf dem deutschen Markt und durch Verkäufe nach Übersee, insbesondere nach den Vereinigten Staaten, aber auch bis nach Australien, wohin Brüder seiner Frau, die den dortigen Vertrieb seiner Bilder übernahmen, ausgewandert waren. Er war auf großen Ausstellungen vertreten, 1880 etwa mit zwei Landschaften auf der IV. Allgemeinen Deutschen Kunstausstellung. Neben der Malerei engagierte sich Lewis auch im Kunsthandel. So übernahm er von dem Düsseldorfer Maler Carl Friedrich Lessing den Auftrag, dessen Historienbild Jan Hus vor dem Konzil in Konstanz (Martyrdom of Hus) an einen New Yorker Kunsthändler zu vermitteln.

Tätigkeit als Konsularagent der Vereinigten Staaten
Nachdem sich Lewis auf Empfehlung von William Henry Vesey († 1881), des US-Konsuls von Aachen, im Frühjahr 1867 um den Posten eines Konsularagenten der Vereinigten Staaten beworben hatte, wurde er mit Schreiben vom 1. Juni 1867 auf diesen Posten berufen. Der Sitz der Konsularagentur war sein Stadthaus in der Alexanderstraße 26, über dessen Eingang er die US-Flagge hisste. Auch als der Sitz des US-Konsulats 1869 von Aachen nach Barmen und 1880 von Barmen nach Krefeld wechselte, behielt er diese Stellung bei, die ihm im gesellschaftlichen Leben Düsseldorfs eine hohe soziale Anerkennung vermittelte. Außerdem konnte er durch das Gehalt, das er von der US-Regierung erhielt, die mit Beginn des Deutsch-Französischen Kriegs zurückgehenden Einnahmen aus Bilderverkäufen kompensieren. 1881 wurde die Konsularagentur in eine Handelsagentur zurückgestuft. Den Posten als Handelsagent erhielt William D. Wamer in Köln. 1883 trat Wamer die Funktion eines US-Konsuls in Düsseldorf an. Lewis wurde nur noch die Funktion eines stellvertretenden Handelsagenten zugewiesen, von der er am 2. Februar 1884 zurücktrat.

Lebensende
Nur einmal kehrte Lewis in die Vereinigten Staaten zurück; dies war in den 1880er Jahren, als er an einer Familienhochzeit in St. Louis teilnahm. Mit zunehmendem Alter ließ seine Sehkraft nach. Erst nach einer Augenoperation konnte er die Malerei wieder aufnehmen. Bis zum Tod seiner Frau am 14. März 1891 blieb Lewis' Haus ein gesellschaftlicher Mittelpunkt von Malern und Freunden. Danach wurde es stiller um ihn. Seinen Tod am 16. September 1904 vermeldete die Düsseldorfer Zeitung am 18. September 1904 mit einer großen Todesanzeige eines örtlichen Künstlervereins. Zeichenbücher, Manuskripte, Drucke und Zeichnungen sowie wertvollere Haushaltsgegenstände wurden an seinen Neffen Alexander Lewis in St. Louis gesandt.

Next week, by this time, I'm going to be in Glasgow, Scotland, setting off with the new chapter of my funny life.
I've been waiting for so long for that moment to arrive - first I've been putting my money off, then I had that unfortunate accident, and I had to recover for long, postponing the whole thing for over two months that seemed like ages.
And now, that it's finally that close and I should be all happy, I actually feel a bit sad, and there's a number of wonderful people to blame for that. I hope I see them again soon.
I've set off with packing- it's so hard to decide what to take, and what to leave behind. I wish I actually could be as consistent in my plans to reduce my belongings as Dave from The 100 Thing Challenge, but that's just not happening (although I did reduce them significantly).

Nature Preservation Day in our Hometown
Renewal by Andersen, and its parent company Andersen Corporation, have aligned with Great River Greening and The Nature Conservancy on a "Nature Preservation Day" in our hometown of Cottage Grove, Minnesota. About 20 employees spent a few hours clearing out brush to save two oak trees on an 80 acre plot of land that has been set aside as part of the South Washington County conservation corridor.
Clearing out the brush accomplishes two things: sunlight will reach the oak trees which are currently surrounded by invasive box elder trees and it will allow equipment to remove the fast growing, but short-lived Box Elder trees at a later date. Employees also learned how to stack the brush for an efficient burn.
While determined volunteers kept clearing brush, other employees turned their attention to planting native grasses and 30-40 Burr Oak saplings. They were able to plant nearly 400 seedlings of Rough Blazing Star and Prairie Smoke wildflowers in two hours.
Many employees live in the area and were excited to learn about these conservation efforts and future plans for the land as well as share their work with their families to this public property. The general consensus is that it feels good to work for a company who works with passionate, determined and skilled organizations that are tackling incredibly important issues benefiting our planet and our people.

Modesty pays in complex systems !
In complex systems, modestly connected hubs drive the dynamics and evolution of the system as a whole.
This is the finding of a team of researchers at the University of Amsterdam's (UvA) Informatics Institute, who used a new method to study the dynamics of complex systems.
Their results have been published in the prestigious Journal of the Royal Society Interface.
Using information-theoretical models and a bit of physics dating back to 1920, the researchers were able to measure how the informational content of each unit in a complex network dissipates in the larger system. Subsequent detailed computer simulations and mathematical analyses showed that information from the most highly connected (highly 'networked') hubs hardly influences the whole. In fact, it turns out to be precisely the modestly connected hubs that drive the dynamics and evolution of the system as a whole.
These research findings have broad significance, both scientifically and socially. For example, they have implications for the relevance of the topology (spatial structure) of neuronal (brain) networks and for the evolutionary advantages of protein-protein networks. Equally, the study provides interesting perspectives on the way in which influential people in social networks impact opinion, or for the way in which websites such as Amazon guide customers to products of interest.

With the tremendous gifts and talents God has given you, you will accomplish great things and experience success in different areas of life. We must remember to remain humble and not become proud or arrogant.
Even though we have gifts and talents, we are not perfect. We have weaknesses and flaws. We have missed and continue to miss the mark in many ways. Remembering this helps us to not think of ourselves too highly, but to be thankful that God loves us anyway. Our sense of identity and joy does not come from our strengths or our weaknesses, but rather in God's love for us.
To truly live with humility means to take the focus off ourselves, so that we can focus on others. Make sure you remember this important point about humility -- it is not thinking less of yourself. It is thinking of yourself less.
In what ways did you take an interest in others today?

Q: Error @Qualify in SpringBoot with RestTemplate and Mockito, Junit4 I am doing test with Junit4 in my Springboot, the app runs perfect but when I try do test I get error when my code use RestTemplate.
Test ->
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
@ActiveProfiles("test")
@FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
public class ApplicationTestsCoverServiceImpl {

    @Mock
    private RestTemplate restTemplate;

    @Autowired
    MonitorService monitorService;

    @Test
    public void test1() throws Exception {
        Operative operative[] = new Operative[1];
        operative[0] = new Operative ();
        operative[0].setOperativeId("1A");
        Mockito.when(restTemplate.getForObject(
                "http://Api",
                Operative [].class)).thenReturn(operative);

        ResponseEntity<List<Operative >> operative2 = monitorService.getOperatives("edu");
        assertNotNull(operative2);
    }

I created Mock the RestTemplate and also I created a bean the my service.
Then I created a object the response when Mockito detect call the RestTemplate.
Code Impl:
    @Autowired
    RestTemplate restTemplate;
...

log.info(" ---> LogInfo: start method");
String url = this.replaceContent(this.urlBase +  user);

log.info(" ---> LogInfo: call to: " + url);
Operative[] operative = this.restTemplate.getForObject(url, Operative[].class);

log.info(" ---> LogInfo: the user have: " + operative.length + " operatives.");
List<Operative> list = new ArrayList<Operative>();
list.add(operative);
return new ResponseEntity<>(list, HttpStatus.OK);

The Implementation is basic, Start the method, I created a url and I get the data with rest Template.
When I start as cover as TestJunit the error is:

School districts employ an arsenal of technologies to update their communities about closings caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Technology plays an important role in how school districts across the Eastern Seaboard communicate — this most certainly applies to natural disasters, such as Hurricane Sandy. Social-networking sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, enable districts to broadcast news, alerts and updates and make it easy for administrators to directly respond to inquiries about the storm.
Here's a deeper look at how some school districts used social media to keep parents and students in the loop during, and after, the hurricane.
Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS) shared up-to-the-minute news and announcements on their Twitter feed (@BaltCitySchools). The school district also shared links to its website's inclement weather page, which shared information on school closings, delays and early dismissals.
The BCPS Twitter account also announced that the Baltimore National College Fair has been postponed due to Hurricane Sandy. The fair was originally scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 29 and 30.
Boston Public Schools (BPS) shared news alerts through its Facebook page. News that the system's schools would be open on Tuesday sparked debate in the comments section among students, faculty, and community members as to whether BPS made the right decision.
The School District of Philadelphia updated its community through social media and press releases on its website. The school system was active on Twitter (@PhillyEducation), sharing news updates on school and program closings as well as promoting Hurricane Sandy-related hashtags: #phillyeducation and #sandyinphilly. To the dismay of student commenters, an update on the school district's Facebook announced that schools would be open on Wednesday.
Hey #DC, If anyone sees any damage caused by #SandyDC, please tweet/Instagram/Facebook us a picture along with location. Thanks!

Q: Huygens's pendulum use in daily life I want to know how is Huygens's pendulum used in the daily life.Are there any real world applications or something?

A: I doubt there are any practical applications nowadays.
Huygens invented the cycloidal pendulum in an attempt to improve the accuracy of pendulum clocks (though I'm not sure if it was ever put to use for this purpose), but pendulum clocks are an outdated technology anyway, practically only produced for decorative/educational/sentimental purposes.
For practical timekeeping, much better accuracy than pendulums can be achieved cheaply and robustly using quartz clocks, which depend on piezoelectrically driven vibrations of a small carefully calibrated quartz crystal.

Q: asp.net html page I have a (say) start.html page that I want to wrap up in an ASP.NET app, and be the first page to launch once deployed. How do I accomplish this within VS; not within IIS, but within VS to have a deployable package that will contain the start page information.

A: It's really up to IIS to decide the order of priority. So you should define start.html as the first document in IIS. And if you cannot do this for various reasons and IIS decides to pick your default.aspx as default you will have to redirect to: Response.Redirect("~/start.html") but that would really be ugly stuff. Configure your web server appropriately.

A: Have you tried with index.html? I think it's the default.

A: Naming the page default.aspx should do the trick.
