capriccioso

Man United's shirt deal with Chevrolet makes no sense. Who the hell is going to buy a car based on sponsorship of their favourite club?

Torres isn't at his peak, either. He's on the decline. Now he may well find his finishing boots this season and make me look an idiot but there's no denying that physically he's not as far ahead of the pack as he was at Liverpool. He's like a big diesel train engine now, that explosive acceleration has left him, though he's still pretty quick when he gets up to top speed. Even players not all that quick, Mikel, for example, could conceivably give Torres a run for his money (pun intended) over a 10-20 metre sprint. We're too quick to group the trajectory of footballers, there are a lot of variables involved. Torres peaked at 24, Drogba peaked at 30. Messi peaked at 20. What is universal though is that decline sets in, at least speed wise, in the early 30s. And then there are some monsters like Seedorf and Giggs who got well into their thirties not losing too much pace. We have Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahil, Ramires, Mikel and Meireles who are at their peak/still have room to improve. That is a very thin squad to call upon, ideally you need about 10 players in that category and we only have 6.

It was the Dutch who were lucky in South Africa. Brazil would have been finalists had it not been for a meltdown from Felipe Melo, who scored an own goal (or at least, made a mistake allowing the goal to be scored- not sure if it counted as a Sneijder goal or a Melo o.g.) and got himself sent off in a spell of 10 minutes. Also tiki-taka under Aragones was a lot different to tiki-takanaccio under Del Bosque.

I hate nanny states. I empathise with you, Australia is turning into one as well (thanks Ms. Gillard).

Sorry but I can't rescue this thread. It's beyond me! Also I couldn't sing to save Kalou's life.

Why would anyone subject themselves to watching that? Part two is so far ahead of the other Godfathers. Part one was insufferably boring. Part two was amazing, with that dual story arc covering Michael and young Vito.

You can't expect us to be on during the UK's prime-time hours unless there's football to watch. That's like 4 am! I've slept for 8 hours of the last 48. I feel like a zombie and I've still got 4 hours to go at uni

I've only been off for 9 hours, 4 of which were spent asleep.

I wouldn't count Essien as someone who's still at his peak, regardless of age. Those injuries have taken a lot out of him, impressive showings in pre season aside he hasn't given any indication that he's back on the straight and narrow in terms of the typical footballers career trajectory. There aren't nearly enough defensive players in the peak zone.

There are other big footballers around Europe. Why not Lacina Traore, a young Ivorian who plays for some smallish Russian team? At 208 cm (or nearly 7 feet tall), he would be the biggest player in England, by far.

A parasite is what appears to have taken residence in my stomach in the last couple of hours, not Florent Malouda.

I'm crushed.

My stomach hurts. Its 1 am and I have to get up in 4 hours time. That's what's irritated me for the last hour or so. There's nothing worse than being kept awake by stomach pain.

Whats 47?

Yes, I did.

No.

Take a hint.

My sexual preferences have nothing to do with my distaste for Dance and Gender Studies.

Fuck off, the lot of you.

I've never done those courses!

Dance Studies aims to produce dance artists, writers, researchers, educators and arts workers ready to enter the performing arts industry and secondary and tertiary educational institutions. Thinking, Writing and Making dance are three broad areas of study linked by the key terms of corporeality and movement. Thinking: Your studies will cover the history, theory and analysis of dance in diverse cultural contexts, locating dance within a larger ecology of related national and international practices and knowledges. This expansion is also reflected in the interdisciplinary orientation of the major stream, reflecting current practice in the field of dance practice and theory. Writing: Students are encouraged to develop a writing practice alongside their creative or theoretical interest in dance, and explore the various relationships between writing and dancing. Making: The major streams studio-based content involves movement-based practices and techniques, recognising the role of studio-based learning and the develop physical knowledge which is fundamental to the discipline of dance. Dance Studies at UNSW has strong ties with local industry through teaching staff and associated professional residencies, and is aligned with the existing ecology of dance practice in NSW with a focus on self-authored movement research, offering clear pathways to higher research in Creative Practice and Dance Theory. Dance Studies – Program Options Dance Studies is offered as a major or minor within the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and concurrent programs. The UNSW BA provides the opportunity to combine two disciplines from a choice of over thirty five majors and minors. Dance Studies is also offered as: - A teaching specialisation in the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education (with a Major in Dance Studies) - An additional (Honours) year for high achieving students - Postgraduate research programs - Free or prescribed faculty electives. Plan Outline The Women's and Gender Studies minor stream offers students the opportunity to achieve a gender balance in their studies. It aims to produce graduates who possess a specialized knowledge of interdisciplinary feminist scholarship today, comprising the study of issues surrounding women, gender and sexualities. The minor stream in Women’s and Gender Studies seeks to inculcate in students: a knowledge of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of women, social constructions of gender (femininity and masculinity), and sexualities an understanding of modern to contemporary feminist schools of thought, with an emphasis both on women’s rights, issues and activism and developments in feminist theory, scholarly methodology and ethics a recognition of change and heterogeneity—in feminisms, amongst women, and in gender constructs; inter-culturally, and in the past and present an awareness of how ‘race’, class and other markers of identity intersect with gender, signifying that gender cannot be studied or critiqued in isolation from other discriminatory categories of difference Plan Structure
