This frig fit perfectly in the spot between my kitchen cabinets. It's not as quite as the old one but it's not bad and doesn't make constant noise. Very nice and glass shelves are easy to keep clean.

Have only had this for a few days. Sears staff helped load it into truck. Online ordering and shipping to store worked well and saved me money. So far, so good. Have it in my garage with a few items in it so far, but looks and works great.

We needed a fridge to store "grand kids treats" and "party items" This fridge fits under our garage storage shelf because it is only 5 feet tall. It holds way more than one would think. Love it!

good quality for price
San Francisco, CA
via sears.com
In my apartment, we have a limited cubby for a refrigerator, so options were limited. I hesitated to buy this model because of the reviews citing that it was noisy. We'd lived with it a week now, and it's no noisier than the Admiral it replaced. I like the space use inside. It's good value for the money.

Rick Perry Makes a Good Plan Sound Bad
The Texas governor's energy pitch strikes all the wrong notes.October 25, 2011
The biggest problem with the energy plan that Rick Perry released recently is Rick Perry himself. Like a desperate used-car salesman, he is making such outlandish claims for it that his customers might walk out before taking a good look.
That, however, would be a pity, because the plan is actually better than any proposed by any president in recent memory.

President Obama has declared that auto companies' fleets must average 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, almost double the current 27.5. Standing at his side when he made the announcement were executives from the Big Three automakers. They're happy to agree to stupid rules, since they are now dependent on government favors. Obama said that under his new rule, "everyone wins. Consumers pay less for fuel, the economy as a whole runs more efficiently." John Stossel begs to differ.

What is COPD?
COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the term used to describe a lung condition that occurs as a result of damage to or obstruction of the airways of lungs. Conditions that may be classified as COPD include chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and while they may occur separately, they often occur together.
These conditions cause a narrowing of the airways which makes it difficult to breathe, and unlike conditions such as asthma, the damage caused is irreversible and generally progressive over time. Emphysema occurs when the walls of the alveoli or air sacs in the lungs lose their ability to stretch and constrict. This interferes with the normal breathing process and makes breathing difficult.
Chronic Bronchitis is characterized by a persistent and chronic mucous producing cough that continues for three months of the year for at least two years. The constant coughing results in inflammation of the airways which eventually results in scarring and damage to the lung tissue.
Symptoms of COPD generally come on gradually and slowly worsen over time. The most obvious symptoms of COPD are shortness of breath which is worse when exercising, and fatigue as not enough oxygen is getting to the body. Other symptoms will vary depending on the underlying condition and may include coughing, wheezing, excessive production of mucous, bluish lips, weight-loss and headaches.

While most of the blogosphere is focusing on how performances like Absinthe impact the Australian Open, folks like DC Scrap have been doing a great job of documenting the more well-known tennis hotties that have been appearing down under to play a little tennis; but that doesn't mean there isn't more to contribute, because there is. We all know about the Ana Ivanovics and Maria Sharapovas of the world, but the list doesn't start and end with those two.
No, women's tennis is like an untapped natural resource of attractive women and me being the enterprising content producer I am, it would be remiss of me if I didn't do my part and bring you these lovely ladies.

[WARNING: The following contains spoilers from the Season 4 finale of Downton Abbey. Read at your own risk.] We are grateful to have Downton Abbey in our lives, but our devotion to the show is the very reason we're so irked at how it progressed this season. Although we've come to terms with the loss of Matthew (Dan Stevens) and Sybil (Jessica Brown-Findlay), it doesn't seem like the writers quite know what to do in the wake of those deaths. So much of this season felt either forced or false or just failed miserably. Has Downton Abbey lost its charm?
Before launching into the season as a whole, let's go over the highlights of the finale, shall we?
"Sometimes, I don't think God wants me to be happy." Poor Lady Edith. On Sunday's Downton Abbey, the second Crawley daughter is still dealing with the dilemma of becoming an unwed mother in 1920s polite society. On top of that ...read more
Was it really so hard finding good help in those days? When Robert, aka Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville), is informed that his wife is once again bereft of a lady's maid, he overdramatically moans, "Are we living under a curse?"
There's no question a pall thicker than London fog hangs heavy over Downton Abbey in its fourth year as Masterpiece Classic's signature series (Sunday, 9/8c, on PBS; check tvguide.com listings). Not only has Lady Cora's bedchamber not been the same since her scheming servant O'Brien left — she slinks away in the opening scene, and boy, is she missed — but the family and staff are in sustained mourning over the untimely (and contrived) death, six months earlier, of heir Matthew Crawley, Lady Mary's husband, in last year's unhappy finale.
The Great War is over and a long-awaited engagement is on, but all is not tranquil at Downton Abbey as wrenching social changes, romantic intrigues, and personal crises grip the majestic English country estate. Starring Dame Maggie Smith, Elizabeth McGovern, and Hugh Bonneville with guest star Shirley MacLaine.

Soon after the conclusion of another record-breaking season of Downton Abbey in the U.K., executive producer Gareth Neame, who has worked on the international phenomenon with series creator Julian Fellowes since its birth, sat down with TV Guide Magazine to share some scoop. The much-anticipated series about the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants returns to PBS's Masterpiece this Sunday.
[Spoilers! The following contains information about the first three seasons of Downton Abbey. Read at your own risk.] Downton Abbey's Lady Mary may be in mourning, but will we get to see her eventually find happiness this season?

Matthew who?On the upcoming fourth season of Downton Abbey, the Crawleys upstairs may be mourning the recent death of their heir, but those downstairs are suffering from an additional loss: O'Brien (Siobhan Finneran). Beyond the absence of the scheming lady's maid, the servants will also have to contend with new-fangled kitchen gadgets, a familiar face returning and ongoing internal strife (we blame Thomas!).
read more
How many gentlemen does it take to fill the void left by Matthew Crawley? A whole bunch will get the chance to try on the new season of Downton Abbey. "The loss of much-loved characters is real dramatic rocket fuel that enhances our storytelling," says executive producer Gareth Neame. "As much as people were devastated by the loss of Matthew — with some people almost grieving as they would for a real person — those are the dynamics of this show." No one is suffering more than widowed Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery). "We do see quite a bit of the Mary she was before she met Matthew, that icy iron-maiden quality," says Neame. "It's going to take an awful lot to get her back to life." She'll get some help from three handsome men when Downton returns to PBS's Masterpiece on January 5...

Now, graduation day is more than a just light at the end of the tunnel, it is a brighter reality. As part of the University of Akron's "Express to Success" program, relevant class material learned through life experiences (in the military and workplace, or through Advanced Placement classes and online courses) can easily translate into college credits.
This faster track to graduation is simple. Students refresh their knowledge with a Test Prep Tutorial (TPT) class, and then earn credits through Credit by Exam (CBE). The cost to students is minimal – just $100 per TPT course, which then can be applied to the full cost of a three-credit CBE. This translates to an average savings of more than $1,000 for an Ohio resident completing a three-credit course, and a $2,100 savings for a non-resident.
"We know that students often come to our campus today with significant life experience already under their belts," says Bill Lyons, acting assistant dean in UA's Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences and political science professor. "We set up these test prep tutorials because want to help them earn credit for their prior learning in a workplace, online, or through military service. Test prep tutorials accelerate their path to graduation and lower their costs, getting them into their careers, and contributing to the economic vitality of Northeast Ohio, sooner."
UA will offer up to nine two-week test prep classes this summer in areas such as mathematics, statistics, psychology, sociology and communication.
On completion of a class, each student will have three options:
For students who pass the test, the information that will appear on the student transcript is indistinguishable from the information that would appear if they had taken the actual course.
Signing up for the test prep classes is the first step in the process. To sign up, or for more information, visit http://www.uakron.edu/express.

Only a few days to go to support Bike Pittsburgh's Drive With Care campaign
Our hometown, Pittsburgh, has been making big strides in the past few years in promoting cycling and making the streets safer. At the forefront of that movement is Bike Pittsburgh, an award-winning advocacy group.
In August 2013, Bike Pittsburgh installed four billboards and 15 bus shelters with its Drive With Care campaign. Featuring real cyclists and real people, it reminded drivers that people on bikes aren't a nascence in the road, they are nurses, students, daughters, sons and star NFL players. Yes, one billboard features Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is a football town after all.
Now Bike Pittsburgh is raising funds to expand the program to other neighborhoods, create a web campaign where riders can share their stories, and spread the word to drivers that all road users are people, not impediments.
The Indiegogo campaign is raising $50,000 to fund the following:
- $10,000 – 15 bus shelters for two month
- $14,000 – 45 bus cards (aka "Queens") on the sides of buses divided between four routes, for two months
- $16,000 – Strategically placed billboards around Pittsburgh for two months
- $10,000 – Web development and app creation for people to take their own pictures and make Drive With Care profiles
More than just making streets safer, your donation will earn you a little something too.
Various donation levels will earn you prizes, including T-shirts, cycling caps, water bottles, a spot on one of the billboards or my favorite: Rick Sebak will record the message on your voicemail or answering machine. Pittsburghers are going to especially excited about this one.
The campaign runs through April 20, so don't delay—donate now.

Take the pledge for #30daysofbiking
While May is National Bike Month, there's no reason not to get started early with April's 30 Days of Biking.

The Alliance received 210 nominations for the 2014 awards, and the final winners were chosen by a panel of past award winners, leaders in the industry and Alliance staff. The People's Choice Award winner was, of course, chosen by a vote.Tweet Print
Next in bicycle infrastructure: protected intersections
I was in Amsterdam all last week getting to know Dutch bicycle culture and logistics (more on that soon), and one of the key tenants of what makes cycling so simple there is the cycle paths. More than just bike lanes, the cycle paths are almost always separated from traffic by parked cars, curbs, or other street features.
The practice is catching on in the US, with New York leading the way with protected lanes on some major thoroughfares. But even those lanes leave cyclists vulnerable where they need safety most: in the intersection.
Urban planner and designer Nick Falbo has put together this piece about how intersection design can make cycling safer and more accessible. His video and other collected works are part of a proposal for the George Mason University 2014 Cameron Rian Hays Outside the Box competition, a challenge to find new solutions to transportation policy challenges.

Supreme Court decision may threaten rail-trails
A ruling by the Supreme Court Monday could limit the transformation of railroad right-of-ways into bike and pedestrian corridors. The 8-1 decision ruled that when a railroad had been abandoned, the right-of-way reverts back to the property owner and its future use is at their discretion.
It could derail plans to construct new rail-trails built on former federal land, especially in the West, while the government could also be required to compensate landowners who have converted rail-trails crossing their property.Tweet Print
London to spend $500M on cycling and pedestrian infrastructure
Click the map for a larger view
London has become synonymous with cycling and pedestrian danger, as the city has claimed more than 150 serious injuries or deaths in the past three years. Now the city, led by Mayor Boris Johnson, himself an advocate for cycling and pedestrian safety, is pledging $500 million to radically transform 33 intersections and roundabouts across the city.
Roundabouts at Archway, Aldgate, Swiss Cottage and Wandsworth, among others, will be ripped out and replaced with two-way roads, segregated cycle tracks and new traffic-free public space. The Elephant & Castle roundabout, London's highest cycle casualty location, will be removed. At other intimidating roundabouts, such as Hammersmith and Vauxhall, safe and direct segregated cycle tracks will be installed, pending more radical transformations of these areas in the medium term.
"These road junctions are relics of the Sixties which blight and menace whole neighborhoods. Like so much from that era, they're also atrociously-designed and wasteful of space," Johnson said in a statement. "Because of that, we can turn these junctions into more civilized places for cyclists and pedestrians, while at the same time maintaining their traffic function."
The move is part of the Safe Streets London campaign, a detailed plan to reduce the number of persons injured on London's roads by 40 percent by 2020.

|Christians were basically an offshoot of Judaism. But I don't see many Christians following a lot of Orthodox Jewish beliefs, yes? And I think we can agree to disagree with the origins of myths in the New Testament.
I'm quite certain we view the New Testament differently if you are referring to it as myth.

I'm sorry that this doesn't really answer your question, but I have a thought that may be helpful.
Let me preface this that you are preaching to the choir when you talk about non-performing-but-beautiful-Kohler toilets. I had a lovely Portrait that was the worst-flushing toilet on the planet. And I have a nice-looking AS Galleria lowboy in the city that came close, until with the knowledge I was inspired to learn from this forum I got it working as best it can. Now it's merely bad.
So, back to the topic. You want a dual-flush because you are environmentally-conscious, I would assume (or maybe you are just trying to save a little on your water bill.) Because a dual-flush averages the water used between 1.6 and .8, it is considered to be generally in the same water-saving arena as a full-time 1.28. Both are considered Watersense toilets, and both are eligible for rebates where such rebates are offered. For what my opinion is worth, you are likely to be as good to the environment by having a 1.28 gpf toilet as you are having a dual-flush.
And the 1.28 comes with other advantages. Because the mechanisms for dual-flush are necessarily more complicated than the basic flapper flush used on all other Toto gravity toilets, you are looking at parts that are just plain more likely to break, and more likely to be more expensive and less-readily-available when they do. And the flush on most dual-flush toilets -- almost always a washdown flush -- is going to give you a different experience than a G-Max or a Double-Cyclone flush, the latter of which is really the best out there as far as bowl wash while still clearing the bowl. (I have the Double Cyclone in our Carlyle II.)
So, my suggestion to you is that if you like the Toto Guinevere, get it. You won't be disappointed with its performance -- in fact you will likely love it -- and it's a Watersense-appproved 1.28gpf Double-Cyclone toilet that comes with Sanagloss and Universal Height standard. And it's good for the environment.
I don't know the AS toilet personally. But I do know (and you must from reading the forum) that Terry has found the quality control at AS to be appalling. And if you look at the reviews by actual customers on the Consumer Reports web site, half of them have comments about how the toilet they got was unglazed in spots, wobbly, not formed correctly, etc. It confirmed that what Terry reports seeing in the field is what customers are experiencing with their products. I guess AS just assumes that the customers won't uninstall and return the toilet, so it sells it even if it is plainly defective. Sad.
Hope that this maybe helps.

Europa League
May 18, 2011
- FTFT1FC Porto
FT Mossoro, who missed a superb chance, is in tears, while Porto salute their fans as they prepare to lift the trophy. That is about it from us, so thanks for following the game with Soccernet. Remember to stick around for post-match reaction.
FT John Brewin in Dublin: Porto's players dance to a natty Irish-themed Euro number. A happy night for them if no classic for the neutral.
FT Villas-Boas, at 33, becomes the youngest ever coach to win a European competition, and the hype will only grow around him now he has emulated Mourinho. Can he go on to win the Champions League next season, as his former mentor did?
FT In truth, Porto's goal was perhaps the only moment of real quality in a disappointing game. Though Braga defended stoutly apart from the goal, they did not have anything like enough going forward. Porto deserved winners on the night.
FT Porto add a European crown to their domestic league triumph! Falcao's fine first-half header, his 17th goal of a remarkable campaign, settles the contest in favour of Andre Villas-Boas and his side.
The goakeeper is up for a free-kick! He gets his head to the ball but Helton clasps the ball.
John Brewin in Dublin: Ooof, the flag had gone but Meyong was not to know.
Now Rolando is booked for time wasting. As Celtic fans will tell you, we have been here before.
Things get frantic as a deep cross comes in from the right but Meyong is adjudged to be offside, providing respite for Porto.
Vandinho launches a ball up towards the Porto box but the defence holds firm. Now Silvio wastes a good position on the right as Braga fail again.
Artur launches a long ball forward but Silvio swings and misses as he attempts to put in a cross from the edge of the box. They are just lacking that final quality.
We will have three additional minutes.
Helton is booked for time-wasting, but he won't be bothered by that.
Porto's fans are exuberant. They are now minutes away from another European trophy.
Paulao is penalised for a foul 20 yards from Porto's goal and another potential opportunity goes amiss.
Oh dear. Alan produces a frankly disgraceful corner that flies over the box and all his team-mates before curling out for a goal-kick. Domingos looked far from impressed on the touchline.
A late corner for Braga now though...
Belluschi almost ends the game as a contest as his effort flies wide of the upright. That would have been game over for Braga. It probably is in any case.
Porto break but put the ball out of play so Hulk can receive treatment. Vandinho's elbow wafted near his face but he made a meal of it, and made an attacking move break down as a result. Not a fine piece of work from the Porto forward.
Braga have six minutes of normal time left to salvage something from this final. It doesn't look like happening, in all honesty.
Hulk slips in Belluschi with a neat pass and when the Argentinian's cross is blocked he appeals, in vain, for a handball.
Silvio darts away from a marker and swings in a cross with the outside of his boot, but Helton is off his line to collect for Porto.
Kaka is booked after Paulao lands his forearm in the face of Falcao.
Rodriguez is on and he replaces Varela for Porto.
Braga have done very well to restrict Porto to so few chances in this match, but that Falcao goal ensures they will now have to push on.
Villas-Boas is giving James Rodriguez some instructions on the touchline so it looks as though we will be seeing the young man any minute now.
Great chance for Braga! Meyong receives the ball 20 yards from goal but his shot is woeful as he drags it slowly wide. Helton rushes off his line to collect.
Hulk attempts to release Falcao but Paulao impresses with some muscular defending and holds off the Colombian.
On the face of it that seems a bit of a strange one as Guarin has been very impressive and set up the goal with that fantastic cross.
Guarin is replaced as Porto make their change and Belluschi enters the pitch.
Controversy as Sapunaru, who has been booked, chops down Silvio but escapes a second booking. From the resulting set-piece. Braga are caught offside. That could just have been a red so Porto can count themselves fortunate.
Porto are readying Fernando Belluschi on the sidelines.
Custodio's cross is blocked by Alvaro Pereira and Braga have a throw deep in the Porto half. After momentary panic, Porto clear.
Hulk leads a break for Porto but he fails to spot Falcao in acres of space on the far side. The Colombian cries out for the ball but is ignored. That was a good chance missed to double their lead.
Lima comes off after an ineffective performance and is replaced by Albert Ze Meyong.
A high cross from Varela has Artur briefly scrambling but it lands harmlessly on top of the net.
Sapunaru heads clear from another Paulo Cesar cross as Porto hold firm in the face of some Braga pressure.
Braga carve out a half chance but Paul Cesar's ball into the box (or more accurately, right over it) is woeful. He's no Guarin in that regard.
John Brewin in Dublin: A vital stage for Porto here. Score now, and it really is all over. Braga's snatched chance at the start of the half was their best of the match, and on this evidence is likely to remembered as the one that got away, on a night that got away from them.
Mossoro is booked for arguing with the ref after feeling aggrieved for having his shirt pulled. Basically he threw a bit of a hissy fit.
Bizarre goalkeeping from Helton! He charges out of his box, controls the ball and then slides a short pass to a team-mate. He didn't look at all convincing though, and Braga could have exploited that.
The game has settled down into a bit of a rut in the past few minutes.
Miguel Garcia does into the book for chopping down Varela. That was a pretty unsophisticated challenge.
Paulo Cesar is passed the ball from a free-kick and spins before shooting. Porto block and then clear before Lima can take advantage.
Falcao wheels away in delight after scoring his 17th Europa League goal of the season
It has been a sloppy start to the half from Porto, who need to rediscover their rhythm somewhat. A good spell of possession should do the trick.
Falcao puts Porto in front with an excellent header.
Mossoro is in the action again as he delivers a corner from the right but he fails to beat the first man.
Cristiano Sapunaru goes into the book for a foul on Paulo Cesar.
Well that could have transformed the game immediately, and will have given Porto a kick up the backside as well. Mossoro really should have done better,
The substitute Mossoro is clean through! But he bottles it and Helton saves! What a chance that was for Braga.
Mossoro comes on for Braga and replaces Viana, who was on a booking. Kaka also replaced Rodriguez.
Want some half-time reading? Roberto Gotta has profiled Milan's title-winning manager Massimiliano Allegri.
HT Braga's gameplan was actually working fairly well until they were opened up right at the end, and how typical that Falcao was the man to do it. It will be interesting to see how Domingos reacts now his side need a goal.
Falcao demonstrates his aerial prowess, minutes before giving Porto the lead with a header.
HT You can also follow me, should you wish. My account is @tomadamsESPN.
HT Just a quick reminder that you can follow us on Twitter. Our account is @ESPNsoccernet.
HT Falcao's goal late in the half gives Porto the lead, and will hopefully open up a game that has been a bit dull. Braga will need to come out of their shells in the second half which should contribute to the spectacle.
John Brewin in Dublin: Great goal from Falcao, showing his undoubted class in the air with a fine header. The announcer seems to be a Porto fan, as he has just started a song for the fans to join in.
Well we have had 44 minutes of mediocrity and then Porto produce a moment of brilliance. It was superbly executed.
An excellent goal, and a 17th of the campaign for Falcao. Guarin collected possession after a sloppy pass, checked back inside and delivered a wonderful, near-perfect cross for Falcao, who leapt to head home. Lovely stuff.
This has been pretty poor, I'm afraid to report, and it isn't getting a lot better. Hopefully things will improve in the second half.
Artur gets away with one as the goalkeeper's attempted clearance smacks off the arm of Falcao and behind. A handball is given, which is slightly laughable.
Fredy Guarin leads the charge upfield for Porto but is penalised for a foul just as he attempts to collect the ball in the box.
Porto's Silvestre Varela does his best to escape the clutches of Miguel Garcia and Alan, though he has failed to break through the Braga defence so far.
Braga really are short of imagination when they are in the final third. But then they have only scored six goals in eight Europa League games this season, so it was only to be expected.
Not that one though, as Artur gathers with ease. This match is still a bit lacklustre, which is disappointing for an occasion like this.
Varela's pace down the left wing wins a corner for Porto, who are struggling to break Braga down via conventional means. A set-piece may be the key.
Falcao is on the deck in the box and some Porto fans howl for a penalty, but, importantly, none of the players do. Play continues.
John Brewin in Dublin: Silvio is on sudden death after that booking, which looked somewhat lenient. Porto's version of 'Don't Leave Me This Way' is pretty good.
That's the second time a Braga player has been shown a yellow card for a tackle on Hulk. Is targeting him a deliberate strategy? I suspect it won't work, he's one tough chap.
An idiotic challenge from Silvio as he flies in on Hulk from behind with both feet. That was a shocker and could have drawn a red card.
At the other end, Viana is also guilty of sending a free-kick well over, but he was attempting to find a team-mate. In honesty, there is not a lot of quality on show so far, it has been a disappointing game.
Porto win what appears to be a soft free-kick and from 40 yards, Hulk tries a shot that flies high over the bar. That was ridiculous, was he ever going to beat Artur from that range?
Porto are reduced to a couple of long balls, with Hulk and Varela the target, but Braga's defence is too accomplished to be opened up that easily. They will gobble those up all night.
Hugo Viana goes into the box for a strong challenge on Hulk. The Porto man made the most of it but Viana did dive in a bit.
John Brewin in Dublin: An understandable edginess about this night. Braga very cagey, while Porto have relied on their forwards to supply the attacking, with little support from midfield.
Hugo Viana has a decent shout for a free-kick turned down when being fouled on the edge of the box by Porto midfielder Joao Moutinho. It was a sneaky push from the former Sporting man.
Lima draws Porto goalkeeper Helton into a relatively easy save but it is encouraging for Braga, who have rarely threatened, that Custodio chance aside.
Falcao, of course, has 16 goals in the competition this season, surpassing a record set by Jurgen Klinsmann in 1995-96.
It is Hulk with the delivery from the right and he floats in a cross for fellow forward Falcao. However, the Colombian's header goes over the far.
Both sides are pretty sloppy in possession and in all honesty this game just hasn't caught fire. A succession of fouls hasn't helped matters. Free-kick to Porto now.
Hulk and Paulo Cesar tussle for the ball early on at the Aviva Stadium
Braga win a free-kick some 40 yards from goal and an ambitious shot from Hugo Viana, formerly of Newcastle of course, is headed clear. A delivery into the box may have been wiser, but there wasn't much of an angle to play with.
Alan appears to tread on Hulk's foot by the touchline and the striker is in pain. From the free-kick, Varela attempts an outrageous overhead kick to soars high into the stands. Ambitious.
Hulk's delivery is cleared by the Braga backline and they win a free-kick to catch their breath. This game is playing to type so far, with Braga happy to play on the counter.
Another corner for Porto...
Falcao just about connects with the header but Braga are able to clear. Porto are beginning to get a grip on the game at present.
Hulk again works his way into the box from his position wide on the right, he really looks keen to wreak havoc, but his cross for Varela has too much on it. Porto win a corner.
Porto's first good chance! Hulk evades Paulo Cesar when darting in from the right and he unleashes a fierce effort from an angle that flies just past the far post. That was dangerous.
The red mist almost descends for Hulk as he squares up to a Braga opponent. No sign of Green muscles bursting through that blue-and-white-striped shirt though.
Fredy Guarian wriggles his way into the Braga box but cannot open up space for a shot or find a team-mate. Braga are very decent at the back, even if Porto are remarkably potent in attack.
John Brewin in Dublin: Custodio took no prisoners with that shot, but it was wide, and represented a chance to Braga to effect their gameplan, and perhaps open up the night.
Good chance for Braga! When the ball is lobbed back towards goal Custodio emerges from a crowd of players, beats the offside trap, and flashes a volley just wide of the post. He should really have hit the target.
A steady pace to the game as the sun begins to set over the Aviva Stadium but little action of note just yet. That will suit Braga.
A tentative start from both sides, with Hulk getting a few early touches to settle any nerves he may have on this occasion.
John Brewin in Dublin: We're off, and the Porto fans are in full voice, while Braga are banging the drum, literally. That curiously small North Stand is full of Porto.
Both teams are no on the pitch, the coaches have taken their seats, and we are just moments away from kick-off.
And while Villas-Boas will be the youngest coach to win a UEFA competition if Porto triumph tonight, Domingos is also a coach of real repute having lead Braga to second in Portugal last season. He has already announced he will leave the club after this game.
Look out for Alan and Lima, who are quick and dangerous, even if they lack the class of Hulk and Falcao, who have 30 and 33 goals each respectively this season.
So why might Braga spring a surprise? Well, they are potent on the counter-attack so are good against superior sides. Arsenal lost there in the Champions League, while Benfica were beaten in the semi-finals of the Europa League.
John Brewin in Dublin: A bit of an Irish theme to the opening ceremony. It has a taste of Enya and Clannad to it. All part of the same family, fact fans. A menacing drum beat now. Ah, and there's the the reassuring sound of the tin whistle.
When you also take into account that Braga have scored only six goals in eight Europa League games this season and Porto have 43 in 16, including a record 16 for Falcao alone, it is clear that this should, in theory, be a real mismatch.
Porto have won the European Cup twice, their domestic league 25 times and their domestic cup 15 times. Braga, meanwhile, have just one major trophy to their name: a Portuguese cup in 1966. Moreover, Porto have won 92 of their 131 previous meetings.
John Brewin in Dublin: Healthy amount of singing for the Porto faithful, and though Braga may be outnumbered in what is not a full stadium, they are waving a rather menacing banner.
The Mourinho comparisons are as obvious as they are persistent, but here's a more interesting fact about Villas-Boas: he got his break as a teenager under Bobby Robson at Porto after complaining to the coach that he should take a certain player off the bench. The man in question? Braga coach Domingos Paciencia.
Under coach 33-year-old coach Andre Villas-Boas, who has been linked with all manner of clubs, Porto could also secure a treble this season as they have their domestic cup final coming up. They also achieved that feat in 2003 of course, under Jose Mourinho, who Villas-Boas worked under at Porto, Chelsea and Inter.
However, there is a clear favourite. While Porto and Braga are geographically separated by only 50kms - no two finalists have ever been in closer proximity - the former finished no less than 38 points ahead of Braga when winning the Portuguese league unbeaten, dropping only six points.
Ola, and welcome to our live coverage of the all-Portuguese Europa League final between Porto and Braga from Dublin's Aviva Stadium. My name is Tom Adams and I will be guiding you through what promises to be an exciting encounter between two interesting sides.
Live comments will appear here from 1930 BST.

Collingwood confident England will shine
England captain Paul Collingwood has told his player they should use their knowledge of the home conditions to their advantage to capture the Twenty20 World Cup.
With two warm up games this week before England face the Netherlands on Friday night Collingwood admitted England won't make to many changes and experiments before the opening game of the Twenty20 World Cup.
"We got a good idea of what our teams going to be come the Netherlands." said Collingwood. "We will use one of the games to use a couple of the position as experiments to try a few things out" he added.
Collingwood led England in the first Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007 where they only won one of their five matches.
"We have players who are in crucial positions who have gained a lot of international experience since 2007 and I think they're better players now"
"If you look at Ravi Bopara at the top of the order, he's going to be crucial for us and Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson have developed as bowlers.
"We have a three-week period here where we've got an opportunity as an England cricket team to win a competition and no England cricket team has won an ICC tournament before so there's an opportunity for us as a team to hopefully put that right."

Steve Berrios: Latin Jazz Innovator
AAJ: What was the first record date that you remember where you really felt like you were doing something?
SB: I guess it would be with Mongo.
AAJ: Well, why don't we talk about that, how you got that gig and how that materialized.
SB: The reason I got that gig was because on my hotel gig there was a Sunday matinee. So there would be a hip band like Mongo, or a band like that, that would play the matinee. Mongo heard me play and he was having trouble with his drummer at that time. So he asked me would I be interested in doing the gig, and you know what my answer was [laughs]. So I didn't even give two weeks notice. I got somebody else to sub for me, I didn't even get paid my last weeks pay.
AAJ: Well, when opportunity knocks...
SB: Right, I had to jump at the chance. I did that week at the hotel but during the day I was rehearsing with Mongo's band. But I knew most of his stuff 'cause I was a fanatic. I was a big fan of that band, so it wasn't that hard for me to jump in the gig 'cause I knew all the material they were doing at that time. But we rehearsed for about a week at the same time I was doing the hotel gig at night and after that I just left everything there.
AAJ: Who else was in the band at that time?
SB: Well, me and Sonny Fortune joined at the same time, there was a trumpet player named Ray Maldonado, Rodgers Grant on piano and Victor Vanegas on bass. It was a good band. I forgot the other the other saxophone players name, I think it was Maurico Smith. When me, CJ [Carter Jefferson] and Moldonado were in the band that was the trio of doom [laughs].
AAJ: How long was Carter in the band?
SB: Maybe a year or two, then he went with the Jazz Messengers.
AAJ: Do you have any favorite recordings from your time with Mongo?
SB: Man, it's been so long and I haven't really listened to any of those records since that time but maybe Up From The Roots (Atlantic, 1972), Afro-Indio (Vaya, 1975) has a couple of things on there, maybe A La Carte (Vaya, 1976) but I haven't heard those things in so long I can't really judge them. But I dug those records more than the commercial stuff he did.
AAJ: Did you meet Willie Bobo at that time or was it before that?
SB: Willie Bobo met me before I was born. My grandmother and his mom were tight; they used to live on the east side like I told you. So I'm sure Willie saw me in my mom's stomach. And we were pretty tight. He used to come by the house and I used to see him around the neighborhood. He's one of my main influences.
AAJ: What did you find special about his playing?
SB: Just his flexibility, to play authentically in whatever style he was playing. He could play straight ahead jazz and he could play authentic "Latin music and I don't know too many cats like that.
AAJ: Well, there's you.
SB: [laughs]. Well, I got that from Willie. Even in speaking he was extremely bilingual, you couldn't tell if he was African-American, or if he was Afro-Cuban, or Puerto Rican, you know what I mean? I admire that in people, that they can switch and they don't speak with an accent or whatever.
AAJ: Again, I think coming up in New York...
SB: Yeah, that's unique to New York.
class="f-right s-img">
Julito Collazo, Going to Cuba, and the New York BataÌ Scene
AAJ: What about Julito Collazo? I know he was a big influence on you.
SB: Well, he got here I believe in '55. He and Franciso Aguabella came here from Cuba with Katherine Dunham's dance company and my parents took me to see that ballet, and I was extremely inspired by seeing that folkloric stuff. And again my dad knew him, so he used to come by the house, so he knew me since I was ten years old.
AAJ: When did you start hanging out with him and learning about bataÌ drums? [BataÌ are a trio of drums that originated with the Yoruba of Nigeria and are played in Cuba, the US and elsewhere as part of ceremonies of Orisha worship].
SB: All through that time. Just coming up, we used to see each other, I was a late teenager and he was playing with Eddie Palmieri at the time. So in order for me to get in to dance I used to wait backstage and carry his timbales. And he was in Mongo's band playing percussion so we really got tight; we were roommates on the road.
AAJ: You mentioned the folkloric stuff. Was the first time you heard it with Katherine Dunham's dance company?
SB: No. I heard that before I saw the Katherine Dunham Ballet. I had already heard that music.
AAJ: Was that on records?
SB: On records, yeah. There's a record of Katherine Dunham's dance company on some obscure label and my dad had '78s of Los Munequitos de Matanzas. They started in '52, so I think their first record came out in '53. Back in the days before the blockade anything that was fresh out of Cuba was here in New York. Back in that time, from Miami, even with your car, you could take a ferry to Havana. But seeing it live, that was something else.
AAJ: You got to go to Cuba at one time. Was that with Dizzy?
SB: That was with Leon Thomas back in '85. That was a great experience. It was Leon's band and Dizzy's band. We were there for about ten days and I didn't sleep for ten days! [laughs] I caught as much music as I could. I saw Los Van Van, Ritmo Oriental, I even heard an Abakua ceremony but only from the outside. I heard a lot of different bands. When I first got there I hooked up with Changuito [drummer with Los Van Van] and he's a big influence on me, a great player. With Leon I think we did four different gigs, a couple of concerts for the people, and a show at a big opera house (I forget the name). It was a cultural exchange thing, it was really nice. Too bad the people down there don't have anything...just music and rum. You should go before Castro checks out, before it turns into McDonalds and all of that.
AAJ: As far as the folkloric scene in New York, who were some of the other guys learning the bataÌ tradition from Julito?
SB: Well, Julito and Francisco are the first ones responsible for that instrument being in this country. After that, many years later during the Mariel era then it got even more intense. [Mariel refers to the boatlift in 1980 when many Cuban exiles arrived in the US ] Orlando "Puntilla Rios and Alfredo Calvo came here and later those cats brought the sacred Anya drums here. Before that there were no sacred drums. [Anya is a diety believed by devotees of Orisha worship to reside inside sets of consecrated bata drums]
AAJ: Do you have any thoughts on the drum as a spiritual entity?
SB: Oh, definitely. Any percussion instrument has a spiritual vibe to it and I treat them all the same way. Some more than others, but of course. Playing a tambor [religious ceremony] would be the extreme end of it but say someone comes into a club and they're down in the dumps, the music can lift up their spirit. Music is something else man.
AAJ: Who was in Julito's crew, playing with him and learning from him.
SB: Well, almost everybody before 1980. But he only taught a select group of guys because he wanted to maintain the integrity of the religion and the instrument. After Mariel, everybody and their mother could get some inside info for a couple of dollars. Julito had more integrity than to be a sell out. And by the time Mariel came along he had already backed away from playing because in '79 he became a babalawo [priest of Ifa] so he was focusing more on that. But, in my particular crew it was me, "Flaco [Hector Herenandez], Frank Colon, Moreno Tejeda, and "Chachete [Angel Moldonado, leader of Batacumbele]. There were a few guys around...Milton Cardona.
AAJ: Speaking of Milton that reminds me of the Bembe (American Clave, 1987) recording. For me that's kind of a landmark of what was happening on that scene in New York at that time. Would you agree?
SB: Definitely. That was like the mid '80's I think.
AAJ: How did that recording come about? Were you guys playing ceremonies around New York or was it more of a performance ensemble?
SB: A little of both, cause Milton used to do college concerts. So basically the drum crew was me, Flaco and Jose Fernandez. So we just went into the studio and everything was basically one take, even the coro [background chorus]. What you hear on that record is the same group that played a lot of different colleges. I know we did that record in one day. I think it came out pretty good.
AAJ: Yeah, I'd agree. Definitely! So getting back to Mongo I guess you guys did a lot of traveling?

Does the revenge factor exist in the NFL? An eye-for-an-eye type of deal?
Kind of. Well, sort of, because football isn't a street fight, no matter how much we try to portray the violence of the pro game.
Two weeks ago, Vikings defensive end Jared Allen launched himself into Bears guard Lance Louis on an interception return. With Louis' left leg planted firmly, something had to give.

Soldier FIELD, 1410 Museum Campus Dr, Chicago, IL 60605, USA
Metrodome, 900 S 5th St # A, Minneapolis, MN 55415, USA
That "something" was Louis' left knee.
The ACL? Gone. The 2012 season for Louis? Finished. The already suspect offensive line? Down a man.
Just like that, the Bears lost their starting right guard for the remainder of the season because of a blind-side hit the NFL docked Allen $21,000 for delivering. The season rolled on after the typical slap on the wrist from the league office.
A dirty hit? Yeah, I can agree with that. But we see these blow-up shots every week. And injuries, well, they happen. They're hazards of the job. Once you put a helmet on, you are putting yourself at serious risk on Sundays and beyond.
But that doesn't mean the Bears will sweep this under the rug, right?
This isn't about bounties. Nope. Not even close. This is about playing physical football.
You want to get Allen back for taking out one of your guys? Run the ball right at him. Then do it again. And again. Make Allen the focus of your game plan early in the first quarter with two-back power runs that allow you to pull a lineman or send a lead blocker directly at the defensive end.
Knock him down. Then help him up. But make sure you remind Allen you are going to put a hat on him for the next three hours.
In the passing game, slide the protection to Allen, allow the running backs to get a shot on him with a chip block or cut him down at the knees.
Hey, that's legal, clean stuff.
Now, I haven't sat in one of coach Lovie Smith's meeting rooms for more than a decade. That's a long time removed from the chalkboard breakdowns of Cover-2 or zone blitz schemes. I was just a kid, playing under the then-defensive coordinator of the Rams.
But I can tell you Smith doesn't teach cheap, dirty football. That's not his style to coach up players to target the opposition. And I don't see that starting now just because one of his guys was taken out.
Upset? Angry? A little pissed off that Allen blew out the knee of one of his players? I'm sure he was. Any coach would be on a questionable hit. But that doesn't mean Smith suddenly will change his approach.
I'm sure Allen has been discussed in the locker room at Halas Hall because that's what players do. In between complaining about management, they shoot the bull. A trip to Minnesota? That means another matchup versus Allen. And they all remember what happened at Soldier Field.
Maybe the idea of Allen standing next to the pile or chasing down a play from behind has been discussed as an opportunity to light him up. Maybe not.
However, this Bears team is too professional and doesn't need to bend the rules to take a shot at Allen.
They will use their pads within the game plan to send the message. That will work just fine.

These days, company focuses on applying its unique aesthetic to pieces like dresses, shoes, and tops (as well as a diverse men's selection), making for a collection of clothes that combine easy wearability with a little "conceptual heft and a downbeat edge."

Miners' Strike: Calls for amnesty and inquiry
Florence Anderson had always had respect for the law and the police.
But in 1985, she was convicted of threatening behaviour while on a picket line at Eppleton in County Durham during the Miners' Strike.
It's a crime the miner's wife says she didn't commit.
Instead what she remembers are unnecessary violence and lies.
Belated justice
She said: "Two of the officers had a hold of me and punched me into the van. It was the same when we got out, just punching us out of the van.
North East missing out on TV and film production money
On the face of it this has been a good week for television in the North East of England.
BBC children's programme The Dumping Ground won a Royal Television Society award, beating fellow nominee Wolfblood. Both are shot entirely in the North East.
Businessman in drive to cut north's youth unemployment
Bill Marley has spent more than 30 years working in manufacturing.
But his latest venture is less about making money and more about changing lives.
Users warn EU e-cigarette controls could cost lives
Supporters say electronic cigarettes are saving thousands of lives, detractors believe they could be dangerous and are making smoking seem sexy.
But following a decision in the European Parliament their availability will be restricted in the future.
Councils set to defy government's tax freeze appeal
The government has promised a council tax freeze - but many local authorities don't appear ready to deliver it.
A number of northern councils in particular say they simply can't afford to leave bills unchanged.
Npower job cuts announcement fuels UK energy debate
Npower's announcement that it was shedding 1,400 jobs across the UK has fanned the flames of Britain's energy debate again.
Labour has been putting the boot into energy suppliers for months now for overcharging and profiteering.
Scotland independence vote prompts northern power games
Nobody in the north-east of England will have a vote in next year's Scottish independence referendum.
But be in no doubt that many in the English region closest to the border are keeping an eye on their northern neighbours.
BBC poll: Crime commissioners still lack public profile
Their reigns started with more of a whimper than a bang.
A confused and disinterested public largely stayed at home last November as the country's police and crime commissioners were elected with a turnout of around 15%.
Durham research finds loan companies "preying on poor"
Eleanor Eamens started off borrowing £100 from a doorstep lender to help with the cost of Christmas.
Soon she ended up with six separate loans, owing the lender £4,000.
Reshuffles fail to bring North East MPs to the fore
There was a time when some said the UK government was run by a "Geordie mafia".
And Tony Blair's cabinets were certainly dominated by politicians based in the North East constituencies close to his Sedgefield seat.

Raoul Hausmann als Tänzer [Raoul Hausmann as Dancer], 1929 1929
- Artist Rooms
Throughout his career Sander photographed individuals and groups of people in his native Germany, classifying them according to their occupations and positions in society. This lifelong attempt to document the German people resulted in the ambitious project entitled 'People of the 20th Century'. Raoul Hausmann was a member of the Berlin Dada group in the years after World War One, writing many key texts and editing the journal 'Der Dada'. He also co-organised many Dada events, such as the First International Dada Fair in 1920. In his Dada activities, Hausmann purposely blurred the boundaries between the arts, including photography and dance. Here he is using Sander's photograph to explore bodily expression.

It's easy for people to forget that Bungie was a successful developer before Halo.. Games like Marathon, Oni, and Myth were big hits before Master Chief first stepped out of a Cryo Chamber Still, Master Chief casts a long shadow and in the "What have you done lately" video game industry people tend to quickly forget past successes to focus quickly.
On Bungie's
corporate website
they list two corporate objectives:
Develop kick ass games that combine state-of-the-art technology with uncompromising art, captivating storytelling, and deep gameplay.
Sell enough copies of those games to fund our ongoing quest for total World Domination.
With the monumental success of the Halo franchise you would have to think that Bungie would have enough money to take over at least a small nation (such as Luxenberg) but since they haven't they are forced to continue cranking out kick ass games.
So let's get to what Destiny is and isn't. Here's a quick list of what we know so far about Bungie's upcoming franchise.
What is Destiny?
Destiny will be a console shooter set 700 years in the future. Mankind has gone spaceward and has achieved a new golden age. Unfortunately an alien force has come to Earth, laid waste to most of the planet, and wiped out most of humanity.
Humanity is saved at the last minute by "The Traveler" a giant white orb that sacrifices itself during the final battle, leaving a giant white orb hovering a few hundred feet off the surface of the planet. It's under the Traveler that Humanity regroups and begins to rebuild itself. The Traveler also provide humanity with certain abilities that resembles magic. We weren't given a lot of details here but it looks like you will have more than the usual array of weapons at your disposal.
In the game you will play a guardian, a protector of the City under the traveler and humanity. It's up to you to keep the City safe from attack and re-establish humanity's place in the universe. Along the way you'll meet new characters, make new friends, and hopefully help humanity thrive. The game will largely be set on Earth and it's solar system as we were shown some concept art from levels on Mars, Venus, and the Earth's moon.
So is Destiny one game?
Destiny is the name of the franchise, there will be specific names to the games revealed later on.
Is there a single player campaign?
If you want to go solo you can and the game will have a campaign that you can complete on your own. You will see other players in the game world though.
There is a heavy focus on co-op in the game and it sounds like you'll be able to have a party of six people to explore the world with. There will be co-op specific puzzles and Bungie is keen on creating a highly social game.
Competitive multiplayer?
Yup, that will be in there as well and from what we were told you will be able to earn points or some other kind of reward through the competitive multiplayer to earn items for the co-op and single player campaigns. The example were were given was one player having an upgraded ship that they could fly around on.
Is it a MMO?
It's not a MMO but it does have some MMO like elements built in. They are billing Destiny as a combination First Person Shooter, Sandbox, exploration game within a persistent world and there appear to be some RPG elements in the game.
One of the big technical features of the game is a new matchmaking system that will dynamically move you between public and private instances with you noticing that you're moving between them. For instance you'll be able to group with friends and as you play the game you'll dynamically walk through instanced and public areas where you can run into other players through the natural flow of the game. All of this is transparent to the player as a matchmaking system is always working in the background to keep players engaged.
Will it have a monthly subscription?
No, the game won't have a monthly subscription fee but the word commerce was mentioned a few times in the presentation. You can be interpreted this as a barter based player economy or some form of microtransactions. Since Activision doesn't give stuff away I would expect some form of microtransactions built into the game.
Is it Online Only?
Yes, Destiny will be online only (even for single player) so if you don't have a connection to the internet you're going to want to skip the console version of the game. While they didn't mention any specific examples they did mention that there would ways for people to interact with the game through other means (such as app on your iPhone).
Will there be space travel? What about space combat?
Space travel was confirmed at the end of the presentation but they hedged a bit on the space combat portion. Given that we saw some basic stuff in HALO:Reach I think it's not much of a stretch to expect to see some form of space combat.
What consoles will it come out on?
Bungie didn't mention anything specific but did say that it will run on current generation technology so I would expect a PS3 and Xbox 360 version at the start with an evolution to next generation consoles in the future. Recently release rumors have confirmed this.
I get the feeling that we may see a simultaneous release on current and next generation consoles this fall but that's just my hunch. I'm also hopeful that given that most of the character information is stored in the cloud that you'll be able to move from the current generation of consoles to the next generation of consoles without losing your progress. This is a hope and nothing that Bungie has confirmed.
When will it come out?
Activision said they don't expect to see anything in Fiscal 2013 but recent leaks seem to indicate that we'll see something this fall.
What classes will be available?
We were shown the Titan (heavy soldier), Warlock (magic user), and Hunter (ranger/ranged attack class) at the presentation but not given much information about the differences between then Given the genre I would expect at least one or two more classes to be revealed at some point.
Any info on enemies?
Bungie showed us three enemies the Vex (time traveling robots), The Fallen (space zombies), and the Kabal (think rhinos in armor). Each set of enemies looked good but we weren't given a lot of detail on motivation, backstory, or see them in action.
Will there be an app for Destiny?
Yes, we were shown an app that will allow you to look at your stats, progress, and it will send push notifications when new content is available in the game. It also looks like you'll be able to interact with the game via the app somehow but no specifics were given.
Will Bungie.net still track all my stats and info?
Definitely, they are going to have even more information available online and they are looking to track story progress as much as your stats.
That's what we have so far, keep checking the site for more information on the game.
