Blast off on a thrilling tour of the Star Wars universe aboard a Starspeeder 1000. Voyage to amazing alien worlds from the hit film saga, like Tatooine, Naboo or Hoth, and come face to face with the likes of Yoda, Princess Leia or even Darth Vader.
Featuring state-of-the-art technology—including a flight simulator, digital 3D video, Audio-Animatronics characters and "in cockpit" special effects and music—Star Tours – The Adventures Continue immerses you in the Star Wars mythology for an unforgettable intergalactic adventure.
Make your way inside a bustling spaceport and behold C-3PO tinkering away on a Starspeeder 1000—your cosmic transportation vehicle—amid a throng of projection screens and glowing scanners.
Weave your way up a ramp past customs and baggage screening—and blinking droids—before picking up a pair of 3D flight glasses and continuing to your departure gate. Following instructions from an overhead monitor, board your interstellar space vehicle for your journey into space.
Become a Hero of the Rebellion!
As you prepare for lift-off, a series of mishaps unwittingly causes your starship to launch and C-3PO to take control. Suddenly, your space cruiser is intercepted by Empire forces. Fearing capture, C-3PO pilots your ship on an unpredictable flight that will rocket you to the farthest reaches of the galaxy and back!
Will your starspeeder elude capture and safely transport you back to the Alliance base? May the Force be with you.
With over 50 story combinations, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue invites you to enjoy a unique adventure almost every time.
Hold on tight as you navigate jagged desert rocks in a dusty pod race on Tatooine. Maneuver around menacing AT-ATs during a whirlwind battle on the icy planet of Hoth. Hyperspace to the watery planet of Naboo and avoid the clutches of a giant fish or retreat inside the dreaded Death Star to escape Darth Vader before doing battle with Boba Fett.
Just as the Star Wars film saga takes moviegoers to new worlds, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue features a constellation of storylines and interplanetary destinations to immerse you in the Star Wars galaxy. And because the many story twists are random, you just never know where in the universe you'll go or who you may encounter along the way.
Star Tours –The Adventures Continue features characters and settings from both the original trilogy of Star Wars films and their newer prequels.
Distant destinations you may visit include:
In addition to C-3PO and R2-D2, you may encounter:
Where will the Force take you?
George Lucas together with Disney Imagineering brought the Star Wars universe to life as a theme park attraction. On January 9, 1987, the original Star Tours blasted off to Endor from Disneyland Park for the very first time and—like the movies before—was widely successful.
A New Adventure
Over 20 years since its original debut, the power of the Force and the magic of Disney have combined once again to create Star Tours – The Adventures Continue in 2011. Unlike its predecessor, this updated Star Wars ride-simulator attraction features advanced 3D technology, unique branching storylines and an expanded universe of scenarios and characters based not only on the original trilogy of films, but also on the successful prequels.
Conceived, written and directed by George Lucas, Star Wars was an instant hit when it was released on May 25, 1977. With 2 sequels and 3 prequels, the film saga tells the mythic story of the rise, fall and eventual redemption of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Featuring memorable characters, interstellar sets and vivid effects against a classic mythic backdrop, the movies have continued to inspire generations the world over.

Have your say
nicole...did I read your post right? It was best for him that he died?
Surely if you beat someone up and then leave them for dead at the side of the road its murder not manslaughter !

Bonnar isn't even half the wrestler Sonne is. Not going to happen.
Fitch vs Silva I hope will be a good fight and not fall into a typical Fitch fight. Also what if Bonnar lays on Silva all day like he did against Kingsbury? Never know, he is pretty tough. But then again so was Forrest.
Posted 26 September 2012 - 19:10
I'm assuming 5 rounds for UFC main? Doesn't say. Also, Luiz Cane made it all the way down to a Camozzi fight lol
Bonnar vs Silva is a 3 round fight.
Yes all main event fights are now 5 rounds, title fight or not.
Posted 26 September 2012 - 19:16
Yes all main event fights are now 5 rounds, title fight or not.
Bonnar vs Silva is a 3 round fight.
Luiz Cané is right where he should be. I thought he was hilarious when he said he wanted to eventually be LHW champion after knocking out Eliot Marshall... at UFC 128, where Bones crushed Shogun, a much, much better fighter. He then drops to MW and loses his debut against a UFC newcomer. Facebook prelims is his new home... if he doesn't lose and get cut. Camozzi is as low tier as they get but he still can get things done.
Posted 26 September 2012 - 19:42
He would be 2-2 in his second run but it was L-W-W-L. I think they'll let him at least lose 2 in a row before a cut. They always some need of warm bodies to fill Facebook prelims. He just needs to be exciting, either in losing or winning.
Normally that is the case but according to bloodyelbow its just a 3 round main.
I'm actually calling Camozzi in this one. After that I see him getting cut soon.

Posted 10 October 2012 - 10:32
If Silva hadn't stepped up, the card would've been cancelled and it deal a very hard blow to the UFC (2 cards in as many months getting pulled). Every fight on the Main Card with draw power just fell apart. I know it's a PPV in Brazil so PPV numbers in the US will be ridiculously low but the Brazilian market is very important to the UFC's expansion plans.
This main event is just a total joke! Anderson Silva is an even bigger joke for agreeing to what everyone knows will be a complete walkover! I've never rooted for Stephan Bonnar, but oh how bad I want to see a shock - Even though there is practically a 0.001% chance of it happening!

Cheerin' on up to the big timeBy Cristina Kumka
STAFF WRITER | November 27,2012Diane Baker photo
MRUs Leslie Hixon, Anna Baker, Tara Conover and Gage Greeno were in the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade.NORTH CLARENDON Its not just toe touches and tumbling anymore.
Five Mill River Union High School cheerleaders four girls and one boy have advanced the school sport to the forefront, appearing in two different Thanksgiving Day parades last week.
Varsity cheerleaders Leslie Hixon, Anna Baker, Tara Conover and Gage Greeno appeared in the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City while freshman Shania Perham was in Philadelphias 6abc Dunkin Donuts Thanksgiving Day parade.
Less than a week after appearing in two of the biggest national holiday celebrations, the student athletes said during practice Monday they wanted cheerleading to be recognized by everyone as a sport, and one of their less-assuming teammates agrees the captain of the high schools football team.
Greeno, a lineman for the Minutemen, jokingly said he joined the cheering squad for the girls. But then he gets serious and said his friends asked him to do it and be their backspot the strong foundation in the back of a stunt that makes sure the flyers (girls sprung in the air) dont land on their heads or necks.
It is a crucial position Greeno plays.
Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 225 pounds, he says he wants to pursue the sport in college, over football.
According to coach Jen Martin, Hofstra University, a Division 1 school, is in contact with Greeno, possibly to make him a member of their cheering squad in the future.
Cheerleading, according to the students, has an undeserved stigma.
It requires long practices to develop strength, tumbling skills, flexibility, stunting and good attitudes.
All five athletes were chosen to participate in the parades at a Universal Cheerleading Association camp in New York over the summer by recruiters from Spirit of America Productions, according to Anna Bakers mother Diane Baker.
During their trip, the students embraced the sites and sounds of the city, visiting the Empire State Building and seeing The Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall.
Being from a small high school was to their advantage, Martin said, because most of the hundreds of cheerleaders in both parades were only the captains of their teams and the only ones chosen to go from their schools.
The five local students not only gained new friends, but the experience also allowed them to step up their skill level and teach the rest of the squad, Martin said.
It also gives them an idea of what they want to implement when they get back home, she said.
While the five students said they are aiming for a competitive win for Mill River this cheering season, their coach strives for something different.
I want them to leave the mat knowing it was the best performance they could do, Martin said.

After representing entrepreneurs for more than 20 years, I remain dismayed at both how quickly and how often they issue equity ownership of their business to co-founders, employees, strategic partners, consultants, and vendors.
Overeager entrepreneurs too often use equity as currency without considering the legal and tax consequences, without written agreements specifying defined vesting schedules and ownership restrictions, and without considering the long-term consequences. Unfortunately, such promises are frequently a costly and irrevocable mistake.

Recently, I met with a prospective client that issued 30 percent of his company's ownership to his co-founder, 5 percent ownership to the subcontractor currently creating the company's website, and 5 percent ownership to the subcontractor that would write their business plan. This prospective client was very happy the decisions he made regarding his equity until I started to ask him the following questions:

Law of the Sea
CCOM/JHC is collecting multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data that can be used to support an extended continental shelf under Article 76 of the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The extensive seafloor mapping project grew out of an exhaustive desktop study of the U.S. bathymetry data holdings and identified several regions where new bathymetric surveys are needed (Mayer, et al., 2002). The report emphasized that multibeam echosounder data are needed to rigorously define (1) the foot of the slope (FoS), a parameter of both UNCLOS formula lines, and (2) the 2500-m isobath, a parameter of a UNCLOS cutoff line. Both of these features, the former a geomorphic feature and the latter a geodetic position, can be used to define an extended continental shelf claim.
For more information about the national effort to establish the full extent of the Continental Shelf of the United States visit the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Project website.

anyone try to install it from pen drive when you have this problem... that normally helps... I did it to a client's acer laptop.... no cd's worked... vista, server 2008, 7, 2008R2, and 8 CP and DP and RTM.... etc...
but when I tried a USB Pen drive it worked....

Just a note on USB installs. If your USB stick supports read only mode, do not enable it. For some reason, USB install's for windows 7/8 write a install log to the USB stick.

Not sure if he dimension line is numbered in line with the inspiron line, but I had to install 7 on an inspiron 8600. The Pentium M in it does not have the NX bit.
I get the same error on a Dell Dimemsion 8300, the Dell 8300 will Install and run Windows 7 with no problems.

Have you tried doing a factory restore on your previous Windows installation and then doing it on a completely new factory reset PC?
i Will be checking the health using diagnostic tools from WD.
Have you tested the health of your hard drive ?
Ran a scan of the drive surface, checking for bad sectors ?
Have you checked the tightness of the hard drive ?
Have you tried reseating the RAM ?
It does seem like a hardware/driver problem.
What media are you installing from?
This seems to be a common error with windows 7 as well as windows 8 and generally it's your RAM or Bios settings as far as I can see. Take the RAM out and make sure that it's seated properly (Try one module at a time and see if that get's you past this error.) Run a mem test and see what happens! What sort of RAM do you have, do you know? Also in the BIOS reset everything to default, if you are using AHCI reset this back and save again. Make sure that the RAM timings and Voltages are correct for the memory type that you have installed on the PC.
As above definitely make sure your BIOS is set to defaults and then set up to stock clocks / settings, no overclocking
Try installing under IDE mode for SATA devices (Can be switched back to AHCI later after installing the drivers).
Check you have the latest version of your BIOS installed - many are releasing updates for Windows 8 compatibility (especially Dell and HP).
Looks like you have a processor thay is older than the NX bit flag in Intel processors providing DEP protection. If so, you cannot install Windows 8 on systems with those processors. Verify your processor as this is similar to what will happen on install.
did not see the IRQ NOT LESS EQUAL, check memory if you can and hard disk. are you installing x32 or x64?
Not sure if he dimension line is numbered in line with the inspiron line, but I had to install 7 on an inspiron 8600. The Pentium M in it does not have the NX bit.

Man, muddy AND niedz and now Geoff - still finding battery issues and now it is a weird blinker thingy? sheesh! I have the same battery as Geoffster - the LiFePo4 that TestCyl used to package himself. Then he switched to Ballistic but I think I read that Ballistic is limiting its distributors or something.
I wrote up a(nother) ridiculously long data dump on LiFePo4 batteries on my main links page - search for battery. Most of this is just notes for myself that I thought I'd share, so not edited very well.
jtw000 - yep I'm trying to figure out my Wilbers. I went to all that trouble to pick the longest stroke shock within reason, and to get them to actually tell me all the dimensions so I could maximize my wheel travel, but was hoping to not have any more bottoming. and I don't jump it (much) and when I do it doesn't bottom there - it is only on those rain ruts across a fire road where I hit a sharp edge (kinda like a pothole). I think I'm gonna try a stiffer spring first..

Yeah, the battery on these things is small. I think I remember, though, it is the same size used in the S1000 crotch rocket.
I recently replaced my 09 stock battery with a TruGel.
Although these bikes do not have the Canbus wiring system (thankfully), the electronics on the X series does funny things during low voltage. The LCD display goes haywire and prompts an A65 or AbS fault code. Sometimes, the display will go completely dead although the bike may run.
I struggled with this issue after installing an HID headlamp conversion ( details of all of that in earlier posts). During the diagnostic run when the key is first turned on, is the critical time. If any low voltage is detected or any spike in the electrical system is sensed (as when an HID ignites), the computer will go beserk and flash the code etc.
Also, as a minor note, the turn signal flasher is integrated into the computer circuit board. If you monkey with the turn signals (as I did), you will have to work around this internal flasher.
I re-configured the turn signals to burn at full intensity as running lights and then flash via a relay when turning. The coil of the relay was not enough resistance to make the flasher work properly so I had to wire-in a couple of resistors from Radio Shack. I built all of this as a plug-n-play package that plugs up in the rear wiring harness that goes to the tail.

Leafman when did you get your true gel? We were warrantying about 75% of the ones we sold. TR just let us know that they had a bad production run a while back when the Chinese government closed the manufacturer down and they had to jump to a new manufacturer. They had to send a team to iron out quality control issues, and are back on track. But if you got the battery more than a few months ago don't be surprised if it stops holding a charge. If you have any trouble getting it warrantied let me know.

Ok, I've received a request to advise regarding the display issues encountered with an HID conversion installation.
HID bulbs, similar to a common flourescent tube, have both a transormer (or ballast) and a starter (or ignitor). The ignitor and the ballast are combined into one "box" with the standard HID configuration whereas the ignitor is a separate component in the wiring harness with the thin ballast type kits.
The problem with the X series bikes is that, when the ignitor spikes a surge to ignite the gas charged bulb, the surge apparently does something to the BMW computer system. This occurs primarily if the HID ignites during the initial diagnostic run that occurs when you turn the ignition on.
The problem is unavoidable since turning on the ignition not only begins the diagnostic run but it also strikes the HID circuit since there is no headlight delay. This may not occur every time. Also, if it does not immediately occur, engaging the starter motor prior to the diagnostic run finishes can also trigger the problem
When you encounter this problem, you will normally get an A65 or AbS code on your digital display accompanied by a total loss of stored data like your trip odometer mileage and your clock time setting. The master odometer reading remains intact.
The solution is to make provisions for the HID to NOT strike until after the diagnostic process has completed. You have at least two options for this.
Create a timer circuit to delay the engergizing of the HID lamp circuit for enough time to allow the diagnostic to complete or create a mechanical means of delaying the energizing of this circuit until the engine is running.
If you choose the second of these options, be sure not to start the motor and concurrently energize the HID until the diagnostic has completed.
If you wanna get sophisticated, you can combine both a timed circuit and a mechanical delay to insure that the HID stays off at a minimum for the necessary time for the diagnostic to run but, on top of that, will not energize until the engine starts. Got that ? lol
Ok, the basics of how to do it.
First off, I recommend an accessory fuse holder for all such add-ons. Centech, Fuzeblock and others are available and each has their own advantages etc.
Tie your HID circuit into this accessory panel and simply put another timed relay between the accessory panel and the HID components.
When you turn on the key, power goes to the accessory panel (via its own added relay either on the accessory board as with the Fuzeblock or as a separate component with other products). From the panel it will feed the time delay circuit going to the HID that you time to last at least as long as the diagnostic run of the bike. This way, the HID wont come on until the diagnostic is finished.
This works most of the time but, occasionally, if the HID strikes before you have started the engine, you may draw the fault code upon engaging the starter even if the diagnostic run has finished.
The other option is to switch the HID circuit or the entire accessory panel to not energize until the motor is running. This works okay (assuming you dont start the motor until after the diagnostic is complete).
Two good options. Trigger the relay to the HID or to the accessory panel itself from a vacuum operated switch that will energize only when the motor cranks and generates vacuum. If you have disconnected your charcoal canister, just use the vacuum line that went to that. Get an easily available VOES (vacuum operated electrical switch) used by Harley Davidson in the 80's and 90's. Ebay or websearch VOES switch and youll find hundreds.
Dont worry about which VOES you get. The only difference in the switches is the vacuum engagement pressure setting and you can change that. Hook up the switch and wire it to engage your HID or accessory panel when the motor starts running. Dig out the silicone plug on the VOES and turn the adjusting screw with a small screwdriver to delay the engagement as much as possible so the VOES is sure the motor is running before engaging. Replace the silicone plug.
There ya go. Just wait til the diagnostic is complete before hitting the starter and 98 percent of the time you will not have a fault code.
Oh, by the way, instead of using a VOES, you should also be able to do the same thing by using the oil pressure sensor as the activator.
Now, for the advanced class. Wire up a time delay circuit AND a VOES activation circuit in series. When you turn the key on the timer starts and makes sure nothing goes to the HID until the timer and diagnostic finishes. On top of that, nothing goes through the timer circuit, even if it is activated, until the motor starts.
This way, you can turn on the key. If you sit until the timer finsihes its run along with the disgnostic run, the HID will remain off until the engine is running. If you get carried away and hit the starter button before the timer and diagnostic has finished, the HID will remain off until the timer completes even though the engine may be running! This is damn near fool proof.
You can think of other variants of this set up. You could even set the starter motor on a circuit to allow the diagnostic to finish before starting.
This has worked very well for me. Fiddle with it a while.
Sorry, I havent posted a schematic. Think about what Ive written and you will figure it out.

The main thing you wanna do, Kiecker, is keep the HID from coming on while the computer is in diagnostic mode.
The voltage spike screws it up.
After the diagnostic completes, 90 percent of the time you wont have a problem igniting the HID unless your battery is not strong.
Really, the best time to ignite the HID and absorb the spike is when the bike is running and charging the electrical system.

Hi guys,
I want to upgrade my rear shock to Conti air shock.
I saw someone selling a BMW HP air shock, but I don't know if it will fit to my Xco , I looked at micro fiche and it's different part no. from the XCh air shock .

Regarding the HID delay wiring and such:
The vacuum operated switch may not be the best choice for the lighting system. Although it would provide a delay as desired, it could/would also be possible for you to lose your headlight in a "low" vacuum condition like low gear wide open throttle or a stalled engine condition. You wouldn't want even a slight possibility of that happening during rush hour in a dark intersection. And for the electronic time delay versions, keep the delay down to just a few seconds, If your light goes out for whatever reason you don't want to be going 60 mph on some dark windy back road and have to wait for 4, 6, or 10 seconds for your light to come back on.
My first try was a 4 second on-delay relay. But that left me open for 4 seconds of darkness if I had a "flame out" for any reason. My latest solution was to use a standard relay that I wired with an electric "latching" circuit. I'll look around for my wiring notes and post-em for you-all. Basically, you have two "on" switches that must be on for the bike to run, the key needs to be "on" and the kill switch needs to be "on". My HID relay is triggered via the kill switch circuit and powered by the key, using the Key's wires that don't "power off" during engine cranking. The "key" power is just for relay triggering, not HID powering, that's wired directly from the battery. I start with the kill switch in the "kill" position and turn on the key. The display then will do it's diagnostic sweep. Then, when I toggle the kill switch to "run", the relay is energized and the light will fire. And at the same time, I have the relay wired to "latch" it's self in the "on" position as long as the key is not turned off. It stays "latched-on" even if the kill switch is pressed or if the engine dies. and then press the starter to start the engine. The light will not go out unless the key is turned off. If you forget (ooopsy) to have the kill switch pressed when you turn on the key then the lamp will fire with out delay and you may "code out" your display as before, so you have to get in the habit of "kill switch off" when turning the key on for this to work. (I'm not untrainable :-) The Light will be on during engine cranking and without the direct wiring of the relays "switched" power coming directly from the battery your lights could be "starved" for power during engine start. I added a Capacitor in line here to help eliminate that possibility, so far zero flame outs on engine start. The reason I went this way vs. my On-Delay setup was that one time my HID "flamed out" on me at speed in the dark and I had to reach across and "key-off, key-on", then wait 4 more seconds before it "re-lit" That was one time too many for me. Now once the headlight is on, it stays on regardless of the kill switch, engine running, stalling etc until you turn off the key. Much more better. This "current" setup is working well but I still would have to cycle the key to "re-fire" the light if it dropped out for any reason, so I'm thinking of adding a "master" reset button on the handle bars that will restrike the lights with just a touch. (good for any HID set up on a bike) I'm just waiting to get on over to CycleGear and pick up a motocross style kill switch and wire it in as my master reset.
Any of that make sense to my fellow G650X riders....

I wanted to weigh in on the HID thing. I got no argument with Leafman's post. But . . . the guys in GSPOT discovered quite a while ago that physical proximity of the ignitors to the RID makes a huge difference. Locate the ignitors far away from the RID and the RID problems go away.
Some of you guys might remember that I installed HID's on my XCountry back in 2009. I had no problems with the bike's electronics at all. But, and here's the big but, my old style non-digital ballasts (ignitors consolidated in the ballasts) were located below and behind the headlight. see pic--
Also, my HID's were controlled by an on/off switch on the left grip. Which means that sometimes they were off when I fired up the bike, but sometimes they were on.
My point being that if you put your ballasts and ignitors down low, or under the seat, or in the battery box (next to your LiFePo battery) I'll bet you have no problem.

I'm asking here because it seems to be one of the more active animation forums.
I've had requests for poser versions of my horse aniBlocks, so I've been exporting them after learning how to get around the sometimes buggy exporter script (wasted many hours getting that to work). Anyway, the question I have is whether there is any way to loop a walk cycle for a four-legged animal. I know you can move to the end of the walk cycle and load the pz2 again, but that sets the hip translate back to the start. Am I better off just creating ten second or so cycle and let the end user worry about lengthening or shortening the walk?
Sigh, makes me like aniMate even more.

CARSON, Calif. – Marcelo Sarvas has been a consistent presence for the LA Galaxy in the center of midfield, but on Saturday, he was given a new place to roam—on the left flank.
With Robbie Rogers out due to a right hamstring injury, the Galaxy shuffled the midfield with Pablo Mastroeni taking Sarvas' spot while the Brazilian was pushed wide. Playing along the left side of midfield, Sarvas was a threat going forward in LA's 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC as he frequently tucked into the center, which allowed LA to outman and overpower the Whitecaps midfield.
By the end of his 70 minute shift, the stats showed yet another tidy performance for Sarvas who completed 30 of 40 of his passes -- one of them setting up a scoring chance --while also firing off two shots on frame, both of which were stopped by Vancouver goalkeeper Brad Knighton.
"It was just a starting point for me. I played much more inside and I received the ball to my inside," said Sarvas of his stint outwide. "When I had the ball, it was good. Of course if we lost the ball, it was a long run [back field], but it was enjoyable."
The midfielder was eventually removed in the 70th minute of play, but LA head coach Bruce Arena attests that was more about his yellow card situation—he's just one yellow card from a one-game suspension—than his performance.
"We played Marcelo a bit out of position, but I thought that he did a good job," said Arena. "I removed him from the game, simply because I wanted to protect him because of [yellow cards]."
Thoughts on Sarvas' performance out wide? Think that he'll see more time there in the future?

Landon Donovan had a pretty great day on Sunday, that's no doubt.
After all, he scored one goal and tallied three assists en route to a 5-1 U.S. victory over El Salvador in the quarterfinals of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. However, a day later, it wasn't his goals or assists that drew the headlines, but a fun moment that Donovan had with second linesman Ricardo Louisville in the closing minutes of the match. Donovan found a pair of sunglasses and before handing them over to the linesman, chose to put them on.
A great photo of Donovan's fun little poke at the linesman can be found below as well as a video of Donovan talking about his performance against El Salvador.
I agree. RT @BrooksDT: Forget the videos and gifs of Donovan with the sunglasses, this photo wins... pic.twitter.com/Kmjz9MBr4w
— Adam Serrano (@LAGalaxyInsider) July 22, 2013
If there was any doubt that Landon Donovan is back to his old tricks with the U.S. National Team, the LA Galaxy midfielder put those to rest on Wednesday.
Donovan tallied a goal and three assists as the U.S. defeated El Salvador 5-1 in their Gold Cup quarterfinal match. Clarence Goodson, Joe Corona, Eddie Johnson, and Mix Diskerud added the other goals for the U.S. while Rodolfo Zelaya scored for El Salvador. The Galaxy midfielder now has three goals and six assists in the tournament.
Due to the U.S. victory, Omar Gonzalez will join up with the squad in Dallas ahead of their Gold Cup semifinal match. If the U.S. reach the final then Gonzalez will miss out on Saturday's Galaxy clash against the Colorado Rapids.
Highlights of the match are below...
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy were without the services of Robbie Rogers during Saturday's 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC due to a right hamstring injury, but the 26-year-old midfielder is not expected to miss substantial time.
When asked if Rogers is expected to return to training soon, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena seemed optimistic, stating that "he should be fine."
Rogers' absence snapped the midfielder's streak of nine consecutive appearances for LA. The midfielder has one assist for the Galaxy this season.
Expect Rogers to return soon?
Share your thoughts below.
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena's comments following LA's 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Arena's thoughts are below…
ARENA: "I wouldn't say that it was dominant because we obviously conceded a goal in the first 20 minutes and didn't make it easy on ourselves. "I thought the goal that they allowed for us was an excellent decision by the officiating crew. We thought that Gyasi didn't touch the ball and to be able to communicate that and get it right was, obviously, a big play in the game. Second half, outstanding individual effort by Gyasi on the second goal, but I thought that the team played pretty solid throughout the night. Not exactly where we need to be, but I hope that we've learned our lesson from previous games because we really have been giving away a lot of points at the end of games this year. I'm happy that we could hang on tonight. That's good for the players' confidence. It's an important win. I thought that we got a very good effort out of our back line again. Carlo [Cudicini] made a big save towards the end of the game, which was important. Our two young players up top did a good job. I thought [Hector] Jimenez played well. Our midfield played well and I thought the players that came in did a good job. An important three points for our team tonight so I'm pleased."
(On the team's performance in the last 15 minutes…)
ARENA: "Everyone knows what you have to do at the end of the game, but you just have to do it. It wasn't perfect; a better performance is getting a third goal, and really placing Vancouver in a difficult position. We let them hang around, which is a lesson to be learned as well. I thought for the most part our guys played well and certainly in the last 15 minutes, keeping Vancouver off the scoreboard was important."
(On his thoughts on Vancouver's goal…)
ARENA: "The ball got deflected [off Russell Teibert], those things happen. A.J. [DeLaGarza] fell off the line which is a tactical mistake. The finish was excellent. That was probably their first shot of the half, not that that means anything, but I thought that it was a little bit of a fluke play. But Camilo did a remarkable job taking the ball down and getting it in the back of the net. What more can you say? Give them credit."
(On the defensive success…)
ARENA: "We've been like that most of the year. Last week in Portland, we were better defensively. Portland had very few chances at the end of the game; however, we conceded a goal at the end of the first half on a free kick. We played better defensively last Saturday. As we back track over the last five or six games, I think that we've been excellent in the defense."
(On Villarreal's performance…)
ARENA: "He worked really hard. Obviously got a little tired towards the end, but I think that he played well."
(On the switching that he did in midfield…)
ARENA: "They did a good job. It was an important game for Pablo [Mastroeni], he played in the reserve game last week and we gave him 75 minutes tonight, which was good. We played Marcelo a bit out of position, but I thought that he did a good job. I removed him from the game, simply because I wanted to protect him because of [yellow cards]. Juni had a good game, made a few mistakes later, but they played well. [Hector Jimenez] did well, so it was a good effort. Then Mike Stephens did a good job filling in nicely as did Courtois and Garcia."
(On whether Gyasi Zardes is showing better shot selection…)
ARENA: "Shot selection? I'm not sure of that, but he got a goal tonight with his feet. I don't think his issue is necessarily shot selection, but being a bit better technically in the penalty area. The goal was an important goal and it's going to take a little time."
(On whether the Galaxy have a deep enough team for their upcoming competitions…)
ARENA: "We're going to find out. We should. We'll have Keane coming back, we'll have Donovan back. We should have a big enough squad, we played a bunch of players this year in the back line with [Tommy] Meyer and [Greg] Cochrane, Leonardo is coming back and is healthy. Now that we have Pablo, we have a little extra depth in central midfield as well as Rogers and Clark in the left side of the midfield; we have a little bit more depth. We're going to find out. I can't answer that question right now. I can probably answer it a little bit later in the year."
CARSON, Calif. -- It was a highlight reel finish for LA Galaxy forward Gyasi Zardes that helped seal a 2-1 victory for LA over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Zardes reflects on his goal in my story for LAGalaxy.com
The goal is below.
CARSON, Calif. – The decision of referee Chris Penso to reverse an offside call by assistant referee Jeremy Hanson that negated a goal by Jose Villarreal had Vancouver Whitecaps FC up in arms, but following the match, the referee provided the explanation for his decision.
When asked by StubHub Center pool reporter Scott French about the decision, Penso had this to say:
"The assistant referee called the referee over to determine if [Gyasi Zardes] had touched the ball with his head before [Jose Villarreal] kicked the ball into the goal. The referee deteremined that Zardes had not touched the ball, thus not making Villarreal offside. The goal stands."
Following the match, Zardes joked that his trademark blonde Mohawk made it easy for the referee to reverse the decision, but Villarreal admitted that he was ready to continue whether or not the goal was allowed or not.
"I just put it behind me. I honestly thought that I wasn't outside, so I thought okay and just play on. Then I saw the center referee go to the linesman, and it was a big controversial play, but I'm happy with the goal."
As for the always quotable Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, he admits that the play may have changed the game in his team's favor.
"I thought the goal that they allowed for us was an excellent decision by the officiating crew," said Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena. "We thought that Gyasi didn't touch the ball and to be able to communicate that and get it right was, obviously, a big play in the game."
The play is below…
CARSON, Calif. -- There was no late game breakdown for the LA Galaxy on Saturday as they held on to a 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps.
Jose Villarreal and Gyasi Zardes each scored for LA while Camilo tallied for Vancouver.
A few notes:
*The Galaxy have wins in three of their last four contests.
*Robbie Rogers missed out on Saturday's match due to a right hamstring injury.
*Also out was Robbie Keane who was unavailable due to a left hip flexor.
*David Beckham was in attendance at StubHub Center.
*The Galaxy are now in third place in the Western Conference, just four points behind the west leading Real Salt Lake.
CARSON, Calif. – We're just hours away from the LA Galaxy's match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, so check out my look ahead to the match.
*LA will have their hands full as they look to wrap up Vancouver forward Camilo, who currently leads MLS in goals scored.
*The Galaxy bolstered their midfield on Friday with the signing of Laurent Courtois.
*According to Elias Sports Bureau, Saturday's match between the LA Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps FC will be the 300th regular season game at SHC.
*Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena noted all week that Robbie Keane has yet to train due to a hip injury. So he'll likely be a game time decision for LA.
*LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan with a preview of the match.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the game.
TODD DUNIVANT vs. RUSSELL TEIBERT
Back from international duty and an illness, Russell Teibert is expected to man the right side of the Whitecaps midfield on Saturday. Look for him to test Dunivant often with his speed and creativity on the ball.
JUNINHO vs. NIGEL REO-COKER
The Vancouver midfielder bossed the midfield in the last meeting between the two clubs, which means that he'll have a target on his back heading into Saturday's clash. Expect Juninho to be physical with the Englishman from the outset and look to muscle him off the ball.
CAMILO vs. OMAR GONZALEZ
Perhaps the most important match of the game, Gonzalez must contain Camilo, who is the current leading goalscorer in MLS. For Gonzalez to shut down the red-hot Brazilian, expect him to limit the space in which the forward can operate. If LA can limit his space then they may be able to limit his effectiveness.
Cudicini; Franklin, Gonzalez, DeLaGarza, Dunivant; Jimenez, Sarvas, Juninho, Rogers; Villarreal, Zardes
We're a full year into the LA Galaxy project.
It's been fun hasn't it?
More than 365 days, more than 50 games, and countless Bruce Arena quips. While it is has been quite a ride to serve as the LA Galaxy Insider, I want to know what you the readers want to see from the project. So I'm calling on you to let me know how you think that this project and be improved. What do you want to see?
Share all those thoughts below, on Twitter or just stop me at StubHub Center and offer a suggestion.

the tears of Heaven
falling from the dark, sad clouds
hiding my own tears

surrender to it

He was an outspoken socialist and a pacifist, his later works becoming increasingly political and didactic. His later novels were more realistic; they covered lower middle class life (The History of Mr Polly) and the 'New Woman' and the Suffragettes (Ann Veronica). He was a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and produced works in many genres, including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary.
A defining incident of young Wells's life was an accident he had in 1874, which left him bedridden with a broken leg. To pass the time he started reading books from the local library, brought to him by his father. He soon became devoted to the other worlds and lives to which books gave him access; they also stimulated his desire to write. Later that year he entered Thomas Morley's Commercial Academy, a private school founded in 1849 following the bankruptcy of Morley's earlier school. The teaching was erratic, the curriculum mostly focused, Wells later said, on producing copperplate handwriting and doing the sort of sums useful to tradesmen. Wells continued at Morley's Academy until 1880. In 1877, his father, Joseph Wells, fractured his thigh. The accident effectively put an end to Joseph's career as a cricketer, and his earnings as a shopkeeper were not enough to compensate for the loss.
No longer able to support themselves financially, the family instead sought to place their boys as apprentices to various occupations. From 1881 to 1883 Wells had an unhappy apprenticeship as a draper at the Southsea Drapery Emporium. His experiences were later used as inspiration for his novels The Wheels of Chance and Kipps, which describe the life of a draper's apprentice as well as being critiques of the world's distribution of wealth.
Wells's mother and father had never got along with one another particularly well (she was a Protestant, he a freethinker), and when she went back to work as a lady's maid (at Uppark, a country house in Sussex) one of the conditions of work was that she would not have space for husband or children. Thereafter, she and Joseph lived separate lives, though they never divorced and neither ever developed any other liaison. As for Wells, he not only failed at being a draper, he also failed as a chemist's assistant, and after each failure, he would arrive at Uppark -- "the bad shilling back again!" as he said -- and stay there until a fresh start could be arranged for him. Fortunately for Wells, Uppark had a magnificent library in which he immersed himself, reading many classic works, including Plato's Republic, and More's Utopia.
In 1883, Wells's employer dismissed him, claiming to be dissatisfied with his work (a verdict with which Wells later came to agree) and the young man was far from displeased with this ending to his apprenticeship. Later that year, he became an assistant teacher at Midhurst Grammar School, in West Sussex, until he won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science (later the Royal College of Science, now part of Imperial College London) in London, studying biology under T. H. Huxley. As an alumnus, he later helped to set up the Royal College of Science Association, of which he became the first president in 1909. Wells studied in his new school until 1887 with a weekly allowance of twenty-one shillings (a guinea) thanks to his scholarship. This ought to have been a comfortable sum of money (at the time many working class families had "round about a pound a week" as their entire household income)yet in his Experiment in Autobiography, Wells speaks of constantly being hungry, and indeed, photographs of him at the time show a youth so thin as to be virtually starving.
He soon entered the Debating Society of the school. These years mark the beginning of his interest in a possible reformation of society. At first approaching the subject through The Republic by Plato, he soon turned to contemporary ideas of socialism as expressed by the recently formed Fabian Society and free lectures delivered at Kelmscott House, the home of William Morris. He was also among the founders of The Science School Journal, a school magazine which allowed him to express his views on literature and society, as well as trying his hand at fiction: the first version of his novel The Time Machine was published in the journal under the title, The Chronic Argonauts. The school year 1886-1887 was the last year of his studies. In spite of having previously successfully passed his exams in both biology and physics, his lack of interest in geology resulted in his failure to pass and the loss of his scholarship. It was not until 1890 that Wells earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from the University of London External Programme.
Upon leaving the Normal School of Science, Wells was left without a source of income. His aunt Mary, a cousin of his father, invited him to stay with her for a while, so at least he did not face the problem of housing. During his stay with his aunt, he grew interested in her daughter, Isabel. In 1889-90 he was a teacher at Henley House School where he taught and admired A.A. Milne
During his marriage to Amy, Wells had liaisons with a number of women, including the American birth-control activist and eugenicist Margaret Sanger and novelist Elizabeth von Arnim. In 1909 he had a daughter, Anna-Jane, with the writer Amber Reeves, whose parents, William and Maud Pember Reeves, he had met through the Fabian Society; and in 1914, a son, Anthony West, by the novelist and feminist Rebecca West, twenty-six years his junior. In spite of Amy Catherine's knowledge of some of these affairs, she remained married to Wells until her death in 1927. Wells also had liaisons with Odette Keun and Moura Budberg.
"I was never a great amorist," Wells wrote in Experiment in Autobiography (1934), "though I have loved several people very deeply."
His early novels, called "scientific romances", invented a number of themes now classic in science fiction in such works as The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, When the Sleeper Wakes, and The First Men in the Moon (all except When the Sleeper Wakes have been made into films). He also wrote other, non-fantastic novels which have received critical acclaim, including Kipps and the satire on Edwardian advertising, Tono-Bungay.
Wells wrote several dozen short stories and novellas, the best known of which is "The Country of the Blind" (1904).
His short story "The New Accelerator" was the inspiration for the Star Trek episode Wink of an Eye.
Though Tono-Bungay was not a science-fiction novel, radioactive decay plays a small but consequential role in it. Radioactive decay plays a much larger role in The World Set Free (1914). This book contains what is surely his biggest prophetic "hit." Scientists of the day were well aware that the natural decay of radium releases energy at a slow rate over thousands of years. The rate of release is too slow to have practical utility, but the total amount released is huge. Wells's novel revolves around an (unspecified) invention that accelerates the process of radioactive decay, producing bombs that explode with no more than the force of ordinary high explosive— but which "continue to explode" for days on end. "Nothing could have been more obvious to the people of the earlier twentieth century," he wrote, "than the rapidity with which war was becoming impossible... [but] they did not see it until the atomic bombs burst in their fumbling hands." Leó Szilárd acknowledged that the book inspired him to theorise the nuclear chain reaction.
Wells also wrote nonfiction. His bestselling two-volume work, The Outline of History (1920), began a new era of popularised world history. It received a mixed critical response from professional historians. Many other authors followed with 'Outlines' of their own in other subjects. Wells reprised his Outline in 1922 with a much shorter popular work, A Short History of the World, and two long efforts, The Science of Life (1930) and The Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind (1931). The 'Outlines' became sufficiently common for James Thurber to parody the trend in his humorous essay, "An Outline of Scientists" — indeed, Wells's Outline of History remains in print with a new 2005 edition, while A Short History of the World has been recently reedited (2006).
From quite early in his career, he sought a better way to organise society, and wrote a number of Utopian novels. Usually starting with the world rushing to catastrophe, until people realise a better way of living: whether by mysterious gases from a comet causing people to behave rationally (In the Days of the Comet (1906)), or a world council of scientists taking over, as in The Shape of Things to Come (1933, which he later adapted for the 1936 Alexander Korda film, Things to Come). This depicted, all too accurately, the impending World War, with cities being destroyed by aerial bombs. He also portrayed social reconstruction through the rise of fascist dictators in The Autocracy of Mr Parham (1930) and The Holy Terror (1939).
Wells contemplates the ideas of nature vs. nurture and questions humanity in books such as The Island of Dr. Moreau. Not all his scientific romances ended in a happy Utopia, the future is distopian in When the Sleeper Wakes (1899, rewritten as The Sleeper Awakes, 1910), in part because the white man has made the terrible mistake of arming the Negro. (This instance of open racism may explain why this novel is less popular than his other science fiction.) The Island of Doctor Moreau is even darker. The narrator, having been trapped on an island of animals vivisected (unsuccessfully) into human beings, eventually returns to England; like Gulliver on his return from the Houyhnhnms, he finds himself unable to shake off the perceptions of his fellow humans as barely civilised beasts, slowly reverting back to their animal natures.
Wells also wrote the preface for the first edition of W. N. P. Barbellion's diaries, The Journal of a Disappointed Man, published in 1919. Since "Barbellion" was the real author's pen-name, many reviewers believed Wells to have been the true author of the Journal; Wells always denied this, despite being full of praise for the diaries, but the rumours persisted until Barbellion's death later that year.
In 1927, Florence Deeks sued Wells for plagiarism, claiming that he had stolen much of the content of The Outline of History from a work, The Web, she had submitted to the Canadian Macmillan Company, but who held onto the manuscript for eight months before rejecting it. Despite numerous similarities in phrasing and factual errors, the court found Wells not guilty.
In 1934 Wells predicted that another world war would begin in 1940, a prediction which ultimately came true.
In 1936, before the Royal Institution of Great Britain, Wells called for the compilation of a constantly growing and changing World Encyclopaedia, to be reviewed by outstanding authorities and made accessible to every human being. In 1938, he published a collection of essays on the future organisation of knowledge and education, World Brain, including the essay, "The Idea of a Permanent World Encyclopaedia."
Near the end of the Second World War, Allied forces discovered that the SS had compiled lists of intellectuals and politicians slated for immediate murder upon the invasion of England in the abandoned Operation Sea Lion. The name "H. G. Wells" appeared high on the list for the "crime" of being a socialist. Wells, as president of the International PEN (Poets, Essayists, Novelists), had already angered the Nazis by overseeing the expulsion of the German PEN club from the international body in 1934 following the German PEN's refusal to admit non-Aryan writers to its membership.
His most consistent political ideal was the World State. He stated in his autobiography that from 1900 onward he considered a world-state inevitable. He envisioned the state to be a planned society that will advance science, end nationalism, and allow people to advance by merit rather than birth. During his work on the League of Nations Charter, he opposed any mention of democracy. He feared the average citizen could never be educated or aware enough to decide major world issues. Therefore he favoured suffrage to be limited to scientists, organisers, engineers, and others of merit, though he believed citizens should have as much freedom as possible without restricting the freedom of others.
His values and political thinking came under increasing criticism from the 1920s and afterwards.
Lenin's attempts at reconstructing the shattered Russian economy, as his account of a visit (Russia in the Shadows; 1920) shows, also related towards that. This is because at first he believed Lenin might lead to the kind of planned world he envisioned. This was in spite of the fact that he was a strongly anti-Marxist socialist who would later state that it would've been better if Karl Marx was never born.
The leadership of Joseph Stalin led to a change in his view of the Soviet Union even though his initial impression of Stalin himself was mixed. He disliked what he saw as a narrow orthodoxy and obdurance to the facts in Stalin. However he did give him some praise saying in an article in the left-leaning New Statesman magazine, "I have never met a man more fair, candid, and honest" and making it clear that he felt the "sinister" image of Stalin was unfair or simply false. Nevertheless he judged Stalin's rule to be far too rigid, restrictive of independent thought, and blinkered to lead toward the Cosmopolis he hoped for.
Wells believed in the theory of eugenics. In 1904 he discussed a survey paper by Francis Galton, co-founder of eugenics, saying "I believe .. It is in the sterilisation of failure, and not in the selection of successes for breeding, that the possibility of an improvement of the human stock lies." Some contemporary supporters even suggested connections between the "degenerate" man-creatures portrayed in The Time Machine and Wells's eugenic beliefs. For example, the economist Irving Fisher said in a 1912 address to the Eugenics Research Association: "The Nordic race will... vanish or lose its dominance if, in fact, the whole human race does not sink so low as to become the prey, as H. G. Wells images, of some less degenerate animal!
In the end his contemporary political impact was limited. His efforts regarding the League of Nations became a disappointment as the organisation turned out to be a weak one unable to prevent World War II. The war itself increased the pessimistic side of his nature. In his last book Mind at the End of its Tether (1945) he considered the idea that humanity being replaced by another species might not be a bad idea. He also came to call the era "The age of frustration."
He spent his final years venting this frustration at various targets which included a neighbour who erected a large sign to a servicemen's club. As he devoted his final decades toward causes which were largely rejected by contemporaries, his literary reputation declined. One critic said, "Mr. Wells is a born storyteller who has sold his birthright for a pot of message.
Wells was a diabetic and a co-founder in 1934 of what is now Diabetes UK, the leading charity for people living with diabetes in the UK.
He died of unspecified causes on 13 August 1946 at his home at 13 Hanover Terrace, Regent's Park, London. Some reports indicate the cause of death was diabetes or liver cancer. In his preface to the 1941 edition of The War in the Air, Wells had stated that his epitaph should be: "I told you so. You damned fools! but his wish was not granted as he was cremated on 16 August 1946 and his ashes later scattered at sea. A commemorative blue plaque in his honour was installed at his home in Regent's Park.

Rash Overview
Rash is a general, nonspecific term that describes any visible skin outbreak. Rashes are very common in all ages, from infants to seniors, and nearly everyone will have some type of rash at some point in their life. There are a wide variety of medical diagnoses for skin rashes and many different causes. It is not possible to fully cover every type of rash in such an article. Therefore, special mention has been given to some of the most common types of rashes. A dermatologist is a medical provider who specializes in diseases of the skin and may need to be consulted for rashes that are difficult to diagnose and treat.
While there are many different types, rashes may basically be divided into two types: infectious or noninfectious.
Noninfectious rashes include eczema, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, drug eruptions, rosacea, hives (urticaria), dry skin (xerosis), and allergic dermatitis. Many noninfectious rashes are typically treated with cortisone (steroid) creams and/or pills.
Infection-associated rashes such as ringworm (Tinea), impetigo, Staphylococcus, scabies, herpes, chickenpox, and shingles are treated by treating the underlying cause. Infectious agents that can cause a rash include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
Determining the specific cause of rash usually requires a description of the lesion, shape, arrangement, distribution, duration, symptoms, and history. All of these factors are important in identifying the correct diagnosis.
The reported history will help characterize the duration, onset, relationship to various environmental factors, skin symptoms (such as itching and pain), and constitutional symptoms such as fever, headache, and chills. Based on the health-care provider's initial impression of a rash, treatment may be started. The treatment may need to be modified pending various laboratory and special skin examinations.
