Clear Channel pays $1.75M indecency fine. The settlement covers numerous complaints, including some about Howard Stern
In the post-Janet Jackson crackdown on broadcast indecency, Clear Channel, the nation's largest radio conglomerate, booted Howard Stern from six of its stations in February over complaints about the content of his show, a move tantamount to closing the barn door after the horses have escaped. That gesture has not stopped Clear Channel from being hit with the largest indecency fine in the history of the Federal Communications Commission. On Wednesday, Clear Channel agreed to settle a number of indecency complaints, some involving Stern, for $1.75 million, sources close to the deal told Reuters and the Associated Press.
Clear Channel has already had to cough up $755,000 this year for an FCC fine related to complaints over sexually explicit talk by morning host Bubba the Love Sponge (a.k.a. Todd Clem), whom Clear Channel fired because of the fine. In April, the FCC proposed a fine of $495,000 against Clear Channel over a Stern show that aired in April 2003 that included a discussion of anal sex. The settlement reportedly covers that incident, as well as 10 open investigations and 25 other pending complaints that have not been made public.
The settlement is also said to require that Clear Channel admit that the Stern segment was indecent, an admission that could have ramifications for Stern's employer, Infinity, which broadcasts his show on 18 of its own stations and syndicates it to about a dozen others. Infinity paid the previous record-holding fine, $1.7 million, in response to complaints about Stern in 1995. A Clear Channel admission that it had aired indecent material would give the FCC reason to fine Infinity for the same broadcast. That action could send Stern packing. He has been grumbling since the indecency crackdown began earlier this year that, given the inhospitable climate, he may take his show to satellite radio, which is not subject to FCC fines.
Clear Channel would not comment on the settlement, but it issued a statement, saying: "While we can't comment on today's media reports, Clear Channel is committed to responsible broadcasting and continues to work with the FCC and our on-air talent to ensure our broadcasts do not violate indecency laws. Our broadcasts are crucial platforms for free speech and we embrace that responsibility and privilege. We are confident that we can provide compelling, entertaining and informative programming without being indecent."

It is important to give yourself time out once in a while not only to get peace and quiet but to thing your life through. If you think you can finish every responsibility and chore before taking that break, then you might not be able to find the time at all.
Taking time out does not mean having regular workouts for your physical well being, or going to that restaurant which carries with it many lovely memories because these are still part of your regular daily life.
Taking time out is going far away to some foreign land where you don't speak the language, and you need to befriend strangers so that you can find your way around and reach your unfamiliar destination. Then after having been lavished with all that, you find that doing all those extended routine that you have been longing to indulge are all too cheaply priced by comparison. And somehow in this foreign land, people allow you to speak your own native language because you can be understood.
5 Uses For Deals
All this is just a form of a hand down because there is more to it when you travel in Mexico.
A 10-Point Plan for Vacations (Without Being Overwhelmed)
Traveling to Mexico is great because aside from going to a beautiful destination it is also the most affordable international vacation one can take. IF there are no major holidays in Mexico then even airfare is affordable. Imagine spending a substantial amount of dollars for less the price to enjoy an identical activity.
When you give tips in Mexico which is what you give for good service at home, they end up having twice as much the value for it.
The types of food that Mexicans cook and eat are different from each other depending on what region you are in. The influences to Mexican cuisine are Aztec, Mayan, and Spanish dishes. However, since most of the prime ingredients that these culinary preparations need is not as abundant in contrast to where it was originally concocted, and therefore costly. The variation is due to the substitution of ingredients to what is abundant in Mexico.
It is good to travel light in Mexico especially when the weather is fine and all you need are light and cozy clothes.
If you can afford to fly during major holiday seasons in Mexico, you are in for a treat. Though most of its festive origins has something to do with a religious connotation, the gathering is not there to venerate but to engage together with a mixed crowd and have a festive carousal or observe those richly colorful ethnic dances done on stage or in the streets where you can join.
If that is not your treat, then treat yourself with its beauty, history, beaches, canoes, marine life and souvenir.

Used Cars: My Partners in Crime
I'm a college student who runs a small landscaping company in the summer. It's really local, basically I just do yard work for my neighbors. Sometimes I continue into the winter and do some snow removal when I'm home on break. I'll even come home on a weekend if I know that it's going to snow because I can clear a lot of sidewalks and driveways with the snow blower I bought last year. That money pretty much gets me through until spring.
Anyway, when I first got the idea to start the business, I knew I would need a vehicle. A truck, really. But since I was just starting out, I didn't have much money. I was at the end of my senior year in high school at the time and had birthday money and graduation money. Obviously, I was going to need to look at used cars to start out.
My dad took me to a few used car dealerships and it didn't take me long to find a truck that was perfect. It has some miles on it but I wasn't going to be taking it very far, just around the neighborhood. I just needed something to haul my supplies from place to place. I was really shocked at how easy it was to find a decent truck and a salesperson who didn't make me feel like he was trying to take advantage of me.
That first summer was a really successful one for me. So much so that I'd saved up enough to buy a second truck. See, I wanted a vehicle to take to school with me and didn't want to put the miles on my work truck if I didn't have to. So, I was soon out looking at used cars for sale again. I found an awesome truck with a lot fewer miles on it than my first one. I went to the same dealership and salesman because I'd been so impressed with him the first time.
I started the summer with zero trucks and no business and, in only 3 short months, I'd been successful enough to buy 2 trucks. The following summer, I earned enough to upgrade my work truck and found yet another truck at the same used car dealership in mississauga by my parents' house. I know some people look down on buying a used car. But I built a successful business with mine.

This year Ryan had to work at the fire station on Christmas Day, so things were a little out of order. Our family has always opened gifts on Christmas Morning. This year however with Ryan working, we had to do it on Christmas Eve. I did get to sleep in on Christmas Morning. That was cool. Of course I would not have wanted to sleep in if we had not been up till after midnight playing with our new Wii.
Every year Ryan does everything he can to try to surprise me with something for Christmas. This year my Christmas present was a new camera that I helped to pick out. Of course this could not be good enough. He thinks I always have to have a surprise. So this year he got me a kitten. Her name is Izzy. She is the perfect kitten. She eats and sleeps and that is about it.
We spent Christmas afternoon at the fire station. Ryan and the other fireman baked a ham and the wives all brought sides. It turned out very well. Of course afterward the other firefighters couldn't wait to break out Colby and Cameron's new present the Wii.

After the kids are finished, the excitement really gets started. For the past few years we have been doing a gift exchange where everyone brings a gift and then we draw numbers out of a hat to see who gets to pick from the pile first. When your number comes up you can pick a gift off the pile or steal a gift from someone else. It can get a little crazy sometimes but fortunately no one was hurt.

One thing the Savage family loves to do together is go bowling. In the old days we used to be able to get 2 lanes and that would be good. One with bumpers and one without. Not so these days. We had to have four lanes. Three with bumpers and one without. Just kidding!!! One with and three without. Boy when you get us all together these days with husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, we are quite the clan. Probably a little scary to those looking at us from the outside.

Late December always means the end of year party for the Fire Department. Everyone dresses up. Women put on their bling and the guys try to remember how to tie the tie they haven't worn since last years party. This year however a couple of the guys decided they were going to have their own theme. I have not yet narrowed down what that theme was, but they dressed up for the occasion in their own special way.
The big news of the evening was Ryan winning the Firefighter Of The Year award. What an awesome honor. Captain Bill Harris (the winner of it last year) gave a wonderful speech about Ryan and did the presentation of the award. Bill even got a little choked up when he was giving his speech.

Tuesday night Colby and Cameron had the opportunity to go to City Hall and open the City Council Meeting by leading the pledge of allegiance. After that they got the chance to meet the mayor.
They were so nervous. They talked on the way over about how they had butterflies in their stomachs. The cool thing was it only took about 10 minutes and we were out of there.

Ryno's first basketball game of the season was last night in Stanfield. Ryno had an awesome game. Unfortunately they lost, but it wasn't because Ryno didn't give it his all. I have no idea how many rebounds he had, but I do know he had 16 points that included two 3 point shots. The team suffered from first game jitters. That caused them to only have 6 points in the first quarter. 3 of them were from Ryno. I am sure if they could have come out of the blocks stronger, it would have been a different outcome. Ryno had a great game though and we had fun watching him. We are excited about the season and can't wait for more.

A brief overview of mortgage loan types.
When you're ready to purchase or refinance, a variety of loans are available. It's important to select a loan that's perfectly tailored to your circumstances and goals.
Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)
The Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) is designed to assist homeowners with good credit standing, to refinance their mortgages – even if they owe more than the home's current value.
Thirty-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage
The traditional 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has a constant interest rate and monthly payments that never change. This may be a good choice if you plan to stay in your home for seven years or longer. If you plan to move within seven years, then adjustable-rate loans are usually cheaper. As a rule of thumb, it may be harder to qualify for fixed-rate loans than for adjustable rate loans. When interest rates are low, fixed-rate loans are generally not that much more expensive than adjustable-rate mortgages and may be a better deal in the long run, because you can lock in the rate for the life of your loan.
Fifteen-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage
This loan is fully amortized over a 15-year period and features constant monthly payments. It offers all the advantages of the 30-year loan, plus a lower interest rate—and you'll own your home twice as fast. The disadvantage is that, with a 15-year loan, you commit to a higher monthly payment. Many borrowers opt for a 30-year fixed-rate loan and voluntarily make larger payments that will pay off their loan in 15 years. This approach is often safer than committing to a higher monthly payment, since the difference in interest rates isn't that great.
Hybrid ARM (3/1 ARM, 5/1 ARM, 7/1 ARM)
These increasingly popular ARMS—also called 3/1, 5/1 or 7/1—can offer the best of both worlds: lower interest rates (like ARMs) and a fixed payment for a longer period of time than most adjustable rate loans. For example, a "5/1 loan" has a fixed monthly payment and interest for the first five years and then turns into a traditional adjustable-rate loan, based on then-current rates for the remaining 25 years. It's a good choice for people who expect to move (or refinance) before or shortly after the adjustment occurs.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
When it comes to ARMs there's a basic rule to remember…the longer you ask the lender to charge you a specific rate, the more expensive the loan.
Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) have a variable interest rate and monthly payments that are recalculated on a regular basis to reflect changes in the market interest rate.
The initial rate on an ARM is fixed for a specified period. The shorter the initial fixed period, the lower the initial rate can be. The lower rate reflects the fact that the lender assumes less risk of potential increases in the market interest rate, and the borrower isn't paying for interest rate protection that he or she doesn't need. This translates into a lower monthly payment than for a similar-term fixed-rate mortgage.
2/1 Buy Down Mortgage
The 2/1 Buy-Down Mortgage allows the borrower to qualify at below market rates so they can borrow more. The initial starting interest rate increases by 1% at the end of the first year and adjusts again by another 1% at the end of the second year. It then remains at a fixed interest rate for the remainder of the loan term. Borrowers often refinance at the end of the second year to obtain the best long-term rates. However, keeping the loan in place even for three full years or more will keep their average interest rate in line with the original market conditions.
Annual ARM
This loan has a rate that is recalculated once a year.
Monthly ARM
With this loan, the interest rate is recalculated every month. Compared to other options, the rate is usually lower on this ARM because the lender is only committing to a rate for a month at a time, so his vulnerability is significantly reduced.
FHA Loan
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers FHA-backed loans that are designed to provide lower down payments and greater flexibility in lending guidelines. Available for single- and multi-family homes, FHA loan financing options include traditional fixed-rate products, adjustable-rate mortgages and temporary interest rate buy-downs.
VA Loan
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers VA-backed loans to veterans, active-duty personnel, reservists/National Guard members and some surviving spouses. When the loan is approved, the VA will guarantee part of it. The amount of the VA's guarantee usually depends on the size of the loan.
Conforming Mortgage
A conforming mortgage loan, often called a conventional loan, is a mortgage that is equal to or less than the loan limit set annually by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored agencies that purchase the bulk of U.S. residential mortgages from banks and other lenders. The current conforming loan limit for a single-family home or condominium in most areas of the country is $417,000, with higher limits allowed for designated high-priced markets.
Jumbo Mortgage
Jumbo mortgage loans, often called nonconforming loans, are designed for homebuyers who need to finance especially large purchases. A loan is considered jumbo if it exceeds the conforming loan limit, which in most areas of the country is $417,000, as defined annually by the government-sponsored agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. A variety of jumbo loan options are available, such as 30-year fixed mortgages, adjustable-rate mortgages, VA loans and FHA loans.
Reverse Mortgage
A reverse mortgage enables homeowners age 62 and older to convert part of the equity in their primary residence into tax-free* cash without having to sell their home or give up title.
* We recommend that you speak to a qualified tax advisor.

Cats and Feline Diabetes
28 May, 2013
Cats, like humans, can become diabetic. The approach to treating the symptoms is not that different than treating diabetes in humans. Feline diabetes is treatable and only requires a cat owner to take a little more time and effort with his or her kitten. The cause of diabetes is actually when sugar, or glucose, is found in the blood. The level of blood sugar in the body or the animal is kept under control by hormone insulin, which the pancreas produces. When the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, diabetes is to blame.
Symptoms of Feline diabetes
The symptoms of feline diabetes will vary. The most common symptoms include an increase in urine and an increase in thirst. Other symptoms of feline diabetes include a loss of appetite, weight loss, and a poor coat. An increase in thirst is easy to detect, as you can easily notice the water dish empty throughout the day.
If you don't get your cat treated for feline diabetes immediately, the cat will eventually become inactive, vomit on a regular basis, and eventually fall into a coma. On the other hand, if you get the diabetes treated in time, your cat will lead a normal and healthy life. Keep in mind that treatment doesn't happen overnight – it takes time and dedication.
I can live a long life with treatment!
Overweight cats have a tendency to get feline diabetes. If your cat is overweight, make sure to put your kitty on a diet immediately for his or her overall health and to prevent diabetes. Your veterinarian can give you recommendations of how to get your cat's weight down.
Cats that have feline diabetes should be given food at the same time every day. They should be prevented from going outside as well. If your cat has diabetes, you'll need to give him insulin shots once or twice or a day. Once your veterinarian checks your cat, he or she will tell you how many shots and how much insulin you need to give your cat. Other diabetic cats respond well to carbohydrate-restricted diets. Although diabetic cats have been successfully managed with both types of diets, some cats respond better to high-fiber diets and others to low-carbohydrate diets.
Cats with feline diabetes are usually given insulin
Before you give your cat his insulin shot, you should always make sure that he has eaten first. If he hasn't eaten and you give him a shot anyway, he could end up with a hypoglycemic shock. This can also occur from too much insulin as well. A hypo can be really dangerous, and should be avoided at all costs.
If you have to give insulin shots to your cat due to feline diabetes, you should always keep a watchful eye on him after you have administered the shot. After your cat has been on insulin for a period of time, your vet may reduce the amount of insulin. Even though he may have to stay on insulin the rest of his life, he will lead an otherwise healthy life.
Most diabetic cats require insulin injections administered under their skin twice daily. The injections can be given at home, preferably at the same time each day. Your veterinarian will show you how to give these injections, which are not painful for your cat. Because each is different, the proper type of insulin, dose, and frequency of administration needs to be determined by your veterinarian.
What to look our for in your cat that has diabetes
At home, you'll need to be constantly aware of your cat's appetite, weight, water consumption, and urine output. It is important to feed a consistent amount and type of food at the same times each day, so that you can be aware of days that your cat either does not eat or is unusually hungry after the feeding. Additionally, since water consumption is highly variable from one cat to another, monitoring your cat's water consumption for a few weeks will allow you to establish what is normal for your cat.
Urine output can be roughly estimated by determining the amount of litter that is scooped out of the litter box. This is less accurate if more than one cat uses the litter box, but changes can still be meaningful. Any significant variation in your cat's food intake, weight, water intake, or urine output can be a sign that the diabetes is recurring and immediate veterinary care is needed.
A cat with diabetes can live a long time
If your cat develops feline diabetes, don't despair. With a good, healthy consistent diet and the consistent monitoring of insulin, your cat can live and thrive. A cat with feline diabetes needs to be watched and monitored more than a cat that doesn't have diabetes, but is worth the effort!

There are many different flavours of Japanese rice balls here. I randomly chose some to try, they all end up to be quite nice! Besides the rice balls, I like the Special udon. Yaki udon also not bad. They have even added some local Chinese food in the menu.

Quick service with the option of outdoor and indoor seating. I would imagine that there would be lots of smoking and alcohol drinking later in the evenings and during weekends. Otherwise, it makes for a family-friendly environment, too.

Cate Blanchett, Ralph Fiennes to Get Gala Tributes at New York Film Festival
The events will take place a week apart; Fiennes' tribute will coincide with a screening of "The Invisible Woman."
Cate Blanchett and Ralph Fiennes will each receive gala tributes at this year's New York Film Festival, it was announced Thursday.
Blanchett's gala tribute will take place Wednesday, Oct. 2, and Fiennes' event will take place Wednesday, Oct. 9, in conjunction with the screening of his film The Invisible Woman, which he directed and stars in.
STORY: New York Film Festival Announces Full Slate
These events, which include intimate dinners with honorees and VIP guests, "celebrate the work of individuals working in film who have made significant artistic contributions to film culture in the past and will continue to do so in the future."
Blanchett starred opposite Fiennes in Oscar and Lucinda and will next be seen in George Clooney's The Monuments Men.
"In the year that many critics are hailing her most recent -- and perhaps greatest -- performance [in Blue Jasmine], [NYFF producer] the Film Society [of Lincoln Center] is delighted to celebrate the career of Cate Blanchett," the center's executive director Rose Kuo said. "Since her breakthrough in Oscar and Lucinda in 1997, Ms. Blanchett has consistently mesmerized audiences with some of the boldest screen performances of the past 20 years, with roles as diverse as Queen Elizabeth I and Bob Dylan."
ANALYSIS: Why Tom Hanks' 'Captain Phillips' Is Opening the New York Film Fest
Regarding Fiennes, Kuo added: "In just his third screen role, Ralph Fiennes' performance as the monstrous Amon Goeth in Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List terrified audiences with its personification of evil. Since then, Mr. Fiennes has brilliantly embodied the larger-than-life creations of writers such as Shakespeare, Dickens, and Graham Greene, among others, and given us an extraordinary body of work to celebrate. The Film Society is excited to honor him at this year's New York Film Festival not only as an actor, but as the director of The Invisible Woman, truly one of the noteworthy films of the year."
Nicole Kidman, David Cronenberg and Pedro Almodovar are among those who have received gala tributes in the past.
The New York Film Festival runs from Sept. 27 to Oct. 13.

Feral Pigs Taking Over the Country
I think many people wish that the saying "When pigs fly..." were true; so pigs could fly away and leave their destruction somewhere other than the U.S.
War is being waged right now across the country -- against huge, ever-growing packs of feral pigs that are running rampant, destroying crops, killing wildlife and spreading disease everywhere they go, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports.
They've been spotted all the way from Texas to California to Michigan and in New York.
"It's estimated there are at least 4 million of them nationwide, but its impossible to count them all so there may be much more" said Carol Bannerman, a spokesman for the USDA Wildlife Services.
Officials say they cause more than $8 million worth of damage every year. "That amount doesn't include impact to the natural environment and native species, or to water" Bannerman said. One disease humans can get, she said, by coming in contact with the beasts bodily fluids is called "swine brucellosis," and is extremely painful.

KH3 Director Hints at Second Playable Character
Kingdom Hearts games have made a habit out of featuring multiple playable characters, and Kingdom Hearts 3 looks to be following in step with its predecessors, according to the game's director.
Speaking to IGN at D23 Expo, Tetsuya Nomura declined to say exactly who but did hint that Sora will not be the only playable character in Kingdom Hearts 3.
"So it would be tough to introduce many, multiple playable characters, but there is an intention of adding a playable character aside from Sora. Unfortunately we're not able to disclose who it is yet, but there will be
," Nomura said.
Kingdom Hearts II started off by putting players into the role of Roxas, Sora's Nobody, before segueing back into making the series' protagonist playable, and Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep actually featured three Keyblade-wielding playable characters. Even going back to the Game Boy Advance entry Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, players could control Riku in a second campaign after beating Sora's adventure.

Seriously, what's that little guy hiding under there? Does he have hands and feet, or is he actually just a horrifying disembodied head sticking out of the ground?
Since Pokemon are the animals of the Pokemon universe, does this mean that some are farmed and slaughtered for their meat. If they are, what does Voltorb taste like?
Either Pokemon are themselves made up of computer data, implying the Pokemon universe is actually a Matrix-like dystopia, or the inhabitants are so tech-savvy that they've figured out a way to convert organic matter into a Zip File, raising the question: Why is such a technologically advance society so dependent on animal labor, like a bunch of Amish people?
There are numerous examples throughout the Pokemon universe of highly intellegent Pokemon, fully capable of human speech. It is also heavily implied that even those who can only say their own names are still intellegent creatures who are just as aware of the world around them as their trainers are. With that in mind, why in God's name is it still okay for people to capture Pokemon, carry them away from their home in an uncomfortably small vessel, and have them beat the shit out of one another for our own amusement?
The Fourth Generation of Pokemon introduced us to Arceus, a white deer-looking creature who is heavily implied to be God. As such, were one to actually "catch 'em all," that would mean they have forcibly confined the Almighty to a red and white ball they keep clipped to their belt. This, of course, begs the age-old question: When one gains dominance over God, by means of a Poke-battle, do they themselve ascend into some sort of divine super-being, or is the enslavement of God just the event that triggers the Poke-pocolypse?
Seriously, at the end of the day, Pokemon are just a bunch of fluffy, adorable superheroes. Why, then, do they just roll over and let humans, a creature whose only special ability is thumbs, treat them like garbage? If you ask me, the Pokemon uprising should be swift and bloody.

Young Heretics Don't Like New Pope
A report from the Catholic University in Belgium in Saturday's NYT.
"In practice, we do what we want," said Florence Druart, a 33-year-old Belgian student. "We live freely. We follow our consciences. We don't want to hear any more about sin, about the woman who has gone astray, about the man who has been thrown out of the church. Will this pope speak to us in a new language? Or is he just going to bring us his same conservatism?"
Pavils Jarans, a 24-year-old Latvian student, "The image that I have of Pope Benedict is that he's the guard dog of the church, very rigid, very intellectual," he said. "I don't really see how he's going to solve the problems of the church."
Well, that's pretty rough considering that they are theology students. But what kind of theology? A poll of students three years ago "found that 83 percent of the students described the church as paralyzed, in crisis or dying. Only 16 percent said they believed in the resurrection of Christ, 12 percent in the Holy Trinity and 11 percent in the virginity of Mary."
I'm no theologian or church scholar but aren't those core teachings, central beliefs of Christianity? The Resurrection? The Trinity? If they don't believe in those teachings what kind of theology are they studying?

On the athletic fields, campers learn the positive values of sports competition while developing new skills and confidence. We mix instruction with play, stressing sportsmanship and an ethic that only asks that individuals try their best. Many of our program heads coach children's teams year-round and many of our counselors have competed interscholastically in high school or college.
We participate in a range of intercamp games and tournaments against nearby camps. Because of Scatico's intimate size (130 girls), all campers have opportunities to play on intercamp and/or tournament teams.
Girls facilities include:
- 2 softball fields and batting cage (1 with lights)
- 3 basketball courts (1 indoors)
- 5 tennis courts (4 with lights)
- 2 volleyball courts
- 2 soccer (also used for lacrosse, field hockey, flag football, and ultimate Frisbee)
- 300-yard driving range
- Archery range
- Gymnastics building
- Gaga Court
Creative Arts
Year-round teachers and professionals head many of Scatico's programs. There is plenty to do, whether a camper wants to act in a show on stage, cook a dinner from scratch, or create a bowl on a pottery wheel in ceramics.

- Crafts building
- Ceramics studio
- Cooking center
- Dance studio
- Woodshop

Outdoor Adventure
Appreciating the outdoors and unplugging for the summer are core values at Scatico. Camp is a time and place to learn how to cook outdoors and to gaze at a star-filled night-sky. There are many full-camp and divisional campfires and all campers hike on trails throughout the Catskill and Berkshire Mountains, Hudson Valley, and the Shawangunks.

Scatico has two waterfronts, located on opposite ends of a ¾-mile-long spring-fed lake. Both waterfronts are fully equipped with sailboats, canoes, kayaks, windsurfers, paddleboards, and rowboats as well as just-for-fun "inflatables" like the Rave, Iceberg, and Magic Carpet.
Swim instruction programs are part of the schedule for all campers through the age of 12. Campers of all ages have opportunities to compete in swim meets at nearby camps and intramurally, and participate in long-distance Scatico "swim clubs."
Many special events throughout the summer happen at the waterfronts, including Polar Bear (pre-breakfast) swims and evening divisional cookouts.

Guardian: Obama camp 'prepared to talk to Hamas'
Suzanne Goldenberg: Richard Haass, a diplomat under both Bush presidents who was named by a number of news organisations this week as Obama's choice for Middle East envoy, supports low-level contacts with Hamas provided there is a ceasefire in place and a Hamas-Fatah reconciliation emerges.
Another potential contender for a foreign policy role in the Obama administration suggested that the president-elect would not be bound by the Bush doctrine of isolating Hamas.

Few of us make it through high school without learning a tough lesson or two about the friends we keep. No matter how much you love your particular circle, there's always at least some drama: A surprise betrayal. An unrequited crush. The two of you slowly growing apart. One of you is a murderous reptilian abomination. Could be any of these things, but sooner or later you learn that everyone has baggage and you either have to accept your friends or cut them loose. "Frenemy" presented this dilemma astutely as Scott and his circle dealt with the knowledge that Jackson is the Kanima and then had to decide what to do with that information.
Personally, I couldn't help but relate to this plotline as during my senior year of high school I found out my best friend Jeremy was just a regular raccoon. Was it his fault for hiding that from me, or was it my fault for just not being very perceptive? We may never know. But I was faced with a decision: Keep being Jeremy's friend even though he was always rooting around in my trash cans and leaving garbage all over my driveway, or call animal control? I chose the latter. But there isn't a day that goes by where I don't wonder whether I made the right choice or not. (MISS U JEREMY.)
But yes, what we had in "Frenemy" was a killer metaphor: Jackson had a split personality condition— like the supernatural world's answer to bipolar disorder, basically. What was Scott's appropriate response in that situation? Sure Jackson was harmful, but he also needed help! The answer ended up being a lot more poignant than I expected and overall "Frenemy" was among Teen Wolf's best episodes ever. Let's talk about it!
First of all...
What the! Thanks for all the nightmare imagery, Teen Wolf! This episode began with an elongated glimpse of Jackson's camcorder footage and apparently his transmogrification into the Kanima was NOT a good time for him. I mean, it was probably safe for us to have assumed that before, but now we knew for sure.
Meanwhile it was shortly after all the nonsense at Scott's house and Allison was taking a confused Lydia home.
I kinda didn't realize this, but Lydia was still totally in the dark about Scott being a werewolf, or even, apparently, that she'd been BITTEN by one? But it did make sense: Lydia had been on pills ever since seeing the alpha for the first time outside that busted Blockbuster; then she was in a coma and/or a fugue state for a few days; and suddenly she was being dragged around town without explanation. You know? She really had some of her own stuff to deal with. Anyway, Lydia seemed kinda hurt that Allison wasn't telling her what exactly was going on, and there was this poignant moment where Allison attempted to describe how great the love was between she and Scott and Lydia admitted she'd never felt that way for Jackson or anybody else. Quit your bragging, Allison!
Meanwhile Derek and the gang were in hot pursuit of the Kanima! Derek tracked him down and pretty soon they were throwin' down under an overpass!
Unlike last week's weird, let's-break-a-chair-and-call-it-a-day fight, this showdown was intense! It even included our first full-CGI animated creature of the season as occasionally the Kanima would turn into a silly CGI animation and scurry up walls. But just when it looked like the Kanima was about to get the upper claw on Derek, this happened:
Mr. Argent! He showed up shooting his gun all over the place and Derek fled into the shadows. But then Mr. Argent made the total rookie mistake of assuming he'd killed the Kamina and the next thing we knew he was getting round-house kicked in the gut!
But then another weird thing happened: Grandpa Argent got out of his Range Rover and shared a moment of hushed understanding with the Kanima just before Scott arrived and chased it off. What did it all mean?? Didn't matter, because buckle up...
Things were about to get GAY. Even gayer than normal!
That's right, Scott and Stiles tracked the Kanima to a gay bar in downtown Beacon Hill and that joint was BUMPIN'. Typical small town gay bar on a weeknight. Meanwhile Danny was already inside dancin' it up and avoiding his ex. That was apparently what was happening here... The Kanima was looking to straight-up murder the person who'd been helping Jackson decrypt his camcorder footage, even though Danny was SO trustworthy that he hadn't even watched it!
Anyway, who cared why we were here, everything about this scene was THE BEST. From Scott and Stiles' hilarious fake IDs...
...To a stranger paying for Scott's virgin rum-and-coke but not Stiles'.
Note the complete lack of gay panic in this scene. Neither of these guys were bothered AT ALL to be there and if anything Stiles was even kind of upset that he wasn't getting MORE attention. In my experience that is the absolute most accurate part of going to a gay bar: Invisibility. Trust me, straight guys reading this: If someone is up dancing on a platform, ain't nobody looking at you. The More You Know [SHOOTING STAR].
So, is anybody else going to have NIGHTMARES from this image?:
No for real, that slow creep across the shadowy club ceiling was like something straight out of the original Alien. The Kanima had never looked creepier, but especially when we knew it was after Danny—this town's most beloved character—and the tension just skyrocketed. And THEN it got even worse when the fog machine started up and the Kanima started PARALYZING clubgoers en masse!
Dang, this was the best nightclub massacre scene since Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth took out a whole dance floor full of '90s goth cokeheads!
And THEN things got even more amazing when Derek showed up to take care of BEEZ.
Derek just reached out and SLASHED the Kanima's throat! All this went down more or less in plain view of the entire club!
At this point we got the first hint that Scott viewed the Kanima as more than just a monster when he followed a trail of black blood to the parking lot.
That's where he discovered a passed out Jackson and he seemed really concerned about making sure Jackson was okay. It was really touching! I mean, at one point he had to knock Jackson out to prevent him from being seen by Stiles' dad, but even the punch seemed empathetic:
Meanwhile Stiles' dad was starting to get FED UP with the fact that his son had been somehow involved with every single crime in Beacon Hill for the past six months.
Almost every scene between Stiles and his dad is perfect, and this was a really good one: Stiles even attempted to claim he was gay in order to get his dad off his back, but the dad immediately rejected that idea on account of Stiles' bad fashion sense. I don't tend to point out the jokes in these recaps so much, but that part just made me laugh out loud. And the scene still ended up heartwarming when Stiles more or less honestly claimed that he and Scott had shown up to "be there" for Danny and Sheriff Stilinski was all proud. Just a nice moment.
Sitting in a parked car on the other side of the parking lot was ANOTHER father-son duo, but this one significantly more effed up. It was clear Argent was already getting pretty suspicious of what his dad was up to, what with all the pill-popping and Kanima seduction. But Gramps just growled something about knowing thy enemy or whatever. I honestly sometimes cannot make out what he says half the time. That's not even a complaint, I love Grandpa Argent, he's great. I just can't make out most of his lines.
Another scary moment came up in the form of Lydia momentarily losing her dog.
It was the dude from school! And he wasn't just in the neighborhood, he LIVED in the house behind hers! Oh, and also he pretty much immediately began to hit on her.
Some of you theorized that this guy might be a figment of Lydia's imagination, or perhaps a spirit of some kind. I love that idea! I'm voting for phantom now. There's going to be some kind of supernatural tie-in that will cause Lydia to somehow cure Jackson and/or Scott and this kid might be the key to that somehow. I don't know, but this plotline is fun.
Scott and Stiles imprisoned Jackson in a stolen paddywagon, and apparently Jackson still didn't believe he was a monster? I mean, we've SEEN him react to scales forming on his skin, but apparently his split personality erases those experiences? Even though he'd been bitten by a werewolf, had super-sensory abilities, and knew his camcorder footage had been tampered with? I mean, come on, Jackson. That you're a reptilian shapeshifter would be the most plausible explanation at this point. Go with it. Anyway, definitely a strange situation to be in and he had a bad attitude about it. Fortunately Stiles was not too flustered by it and he even brought by some sandwiches. And he also dressed Jackson in pants but not a shirt, which seemed fair to me.
Meanwhile Allison was having a hard time at school the next day. First Principal Grandpa was being a total jerk about her friends and to add insult to injury he gave her an impromptu lie detector test! It wasn't weird or creepy in the slightest!
Also the school had installed security cameras everywhere. I'm generally anti-Big Brother, but I make an exception for this school. If any place needed security cameras, it's here.
Oh, but the BEST thing to happen during the whole episode was this... GUESS WHO was the substitute teacher in Allison's English class??
Haha WHAT? How are the Argents just taking over the school uncontested? I mean, I believe that sort of thing happens all the time in tiny towns where powerful families can run roughshod over the local government, but Beacon Hills isn't THAT small. Surely there's a PTA or a Board of Supervisors who'd complain about the super unqualified family who'd moved into town and chased administrators from their jobs? I don't know. I don't actually care either, I just LOVED this scene. Also, after class Mrs. Argent had another great bit where she tried to empathize with her daughter and what she'd been going through, only to say outright that if Allison couldn't end it completely with Scott, they'd be forced to murder a 16-year-old. Parents!
Meanwhile Scott visited Danny at the hospital just in time for him to be changing clothes. Whew! That was a close one. Danny didn't remember much about the club attack (the whole spectacle had apparently been chalked up to spiked drinks or something), but he did fill Scott in on what the Kanima's motive had been: It was trying to cover its tracks with regard to the video footage Danny fixed for Jackson. I don't know why I'm telling you this again, this was already made clear earlier. I think it's because I needed a reason for the above screengrab? Just doin' m'job!
Scott was cornered in the hallway by his mom who was VERY mad at him for almost failing 2 classes. He'd had a lot on his mind lately!
Actually, I genuinely loved the idea that a character in a supernatural teen drama MIGHT actually fail for not going to class. Imagine that! Not comparing this show to anything else, but the idea that a teenager has to deal with life-or-death trauma on the daily is actually HELPED by the added pressure of maintaining a proper facade, you know? That seems pretty accurate to the high school experience. Everything's this life-changing drama all the time, but you'd better have your butt in home room in time for the quiz.
For my money one of the best moments this show's ever had happened out in the woods after school. After Stiles flippantly suggested they just let Derek or someone else murder Jackson, Scott gave an eloquent (well, eloquent for Scott) speech about how his transformation had only gone okay because of how cool his friends were whereas Jackson didn't really have that.
... And Jackson could hear every word of it. I mean, not only was Scott 100% correct that Jackson DID kind of deserve some love (even if it's tough love), the scene was just good drama. How often do you see a proper articulation of what it means to accept a friend's flaws? Scott is definitely not the smartest character on the show, but that's why moments like this work so well. His basic human decency is unparalleled and that's why he's the hero. He's not standing around hugging himself or pondering suicide. He's actively trying to figure things out for other peoples' benefit.
Oh, but this episode wasn't ALL perfect. It also had the most egregious product placement in the history of this show, while also managing to put most anything on the CW to shame. In the middle of a quiet moment, Allison specifically asked Scott to turn on her brand-name stereo system and turn on a particularly prominent internet streaming service.
Anyway, that was ridiculous. And here I was hoping most of Teen Wolf's product placements would be candy-related. Fortunately the ensuing conversation was pretty meaningful: They talked openly about their future and whether they could maintain a secret relationship for the next TWO YEARS. Scott even discussed the possibility of finding a cure for his lycanthropy via Lydia. That would obviously be a premise-rattling turn of events, but it DID seem like a plausible choice Scott might make in order to be with his girlfriend. I bought it and so did Allison. Next thing we knew they were shirtless hugging in the backseat:
But all those sloppy neck kiss noises must've really brought out the beast in Jackson!
So yeah, we finally saw him fully morph into a Kanima, then he busted out of there!
At that point the trio decided they had no choice but to come clean to their respective parents about what was going on. Scott even prepared himself to reveal to Stiles' dad that he was a werewolf. Unfortunately when they arrived at the Sheriff's station, Jackson had beaten them there.
I mean, WHERE TO BEGIN what that story! Didn't matter, this was probably just a cliffhanger fakeout. Jackson was probably going to cover for them in gratitude for what Scott had said earlier. Or something. I'm just guessing.
Oh, and in the final scene Allison arrived home to find Lydia sitting creepily on her bed. She needed someone to talk to, but Allison kinda bitchily shrugged her off before complaining about how she needed to translate a dozen pages of Archaic Latin. In probably one of the more ludicrous examples of Lydia's brilliance, she just happened to know Archaic Latin. Haha this show. I did love her hilarious explanation though: She only knew Archaic Latin because she'd grown bored with Classical Latin. Made sense to me! Anyway, as some of you had called in last week's comments, Lydia uncovered a discrepancy in the guidance counselor's translation. Instead of searching for a "friend," the Kanima was actually searching for a "master." Dun-dun-dun!
So, um, I guess that verified the previous episode's cliffhanger? I dunno. What it does suggest was that either Jackson had been following the orders of some other person/creature or at the very least he wasn't personally responsible for murdering anybody yet, and the "master" had been doing all that. (So far this show hasn't been THAT cavalier about its main characters committing murder.) Scott had already mentioned that the Kanima typically only pursues other murderers, so we may find out that the murder victims were linked somehow. My current guess, and it's just a stab in the dark: The chemistry teacher was once a student at the school and was severely bullied by the lacrosse team (which included the mechanic) and the coach (Isaac's dad) and now is somehow using Jackson to carry out his vengeance. What do you think??
I loved this episode so much you guys. Not just the casual treatment of the gay stuff—which, to be clear, is EXTREMELY rare for a TV show and therefore kind of important—but it was noticeably much better written, scarier, funnier, and better filmed than the past few episodes. It probably wasn't a coincidence that "Frenemy" was written by showrunner Jeff Davis and directed by Russell Mulcahy. Those guys know their stuff. This episode was a definite series high for me. Kinda wish Jeremy was still around to talk about it with me. (Sadface.)
... Who is the Kanima's master? What is his or her ultimate plan?
... What's the deal with that creepy new kid?
... Is Jungle's carding policy a little TOO chill?
... Would you have been a better student if Mrs. Argent was your teacher?

Egypt isn't what it appears to be in the media...but that's no real surprise, since not much is. I moved here in the late 80's from Toronto, Canada, with my Canadian/Egyptian husband, my son and my daughter. The children adapted quickly and we decided that this country was a good place to live. Now I wouldn't change my home for anything.

Cold Turkey
My family lives in New York, Illinois, Oregon, California, the UK, Australia, and Sudan. Letter writing was so time consuming that it tended to never get done. Now I can do a multi-mailing and let the aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters (plus the various offspring thereof) know what is happening in my life in one fell swoop. And I even get news back sometimes...especially when one of the kids is in need of something, right?
The usual magazines that I used to get in Canada, like Scientific American, National Geographic, and so on are on line now, so reading is easier. And with the menagerie, a constant source of veterinary information is necessary, which is available through a veterinary email list and Merck's online manual. I correspond with riders all over the world, some of whom have actually made it to Egypt to visit over the years, and some of whom I have managed to visit on trips abroad.
I moved to Egypt as a member of a family of four that was joining a larger extended family here. We were unusual in that extended family in that we had our own pursuits, like sailing the 10 metre cruising boat my husband brought over from France the year before we arrived or running on Fridays with the Alexandria Hash House Harriers. I extended my world with friendships with other women living in Alexandria, with writing the American Women's Association newsletter for a couple of years, with our project of a guide for families moving to Alexandria from abroad. But when you are restricted to the contacts that you make physically, your world is by definition rather small. And as ex-pat friends moved on to other postings, it was far too easy to lose contact with them.
Email was a miracle to me. The world expanded enormously. I learned from endurance riders in Europe and the US how to attempt to manage a 120 km horse race in the spring of 2000, just before my husband's death. No one else locally had the slightest idea so it was a bit of the blind leading the blind, but in this case the leader at least had people whispering instructions in her ear. When Diaa died I was utterly overwhelmed by the outpouring of sympathy from my email riding friends, both endurance and ordinary. All of a sudden I realised that I wasn't alone in the world. Even though I'd lost the center of the family universe, I had friends all over the world who were checking in on me, encouraging me in my struggles to understand and deal with the insane economics of our situation, and telling me to get out there and see my horses to stay grounded.
I've been able to get advice for myself and neighbours about unusual veterinary problems from my contacts with vets in Europe and the US. X-rays can be scanned and sent abroad to get second opinions. Equipment and medications can be ordered online to be carried back by travelers. How did I ever survive without email?
Well, for the past couple of days, I've been finding out. I use the Apple server for my email and the Apple server got sick sometime on Friday. It's Sunday morning and I haven't had any email for - GASP! - almost two days. I've been haunting the .Mac boards with other suffering email addicts to find out why, when, and how we will be restored. Not much news coming back except that I will have email sometime this afternoon, inshallah. On the other hand, the other posters on the board are complaining from Tasmania, the UK, all over the US, and other unnamed points. Hopefully, Apple will get things sorted out and I really will get my email today.
Even without the immediate contact of email, the windows that were opened with the internet stay open. My father was one of the people who helped to set up sections of the internet back in the early 70's. When he retired, he moved to Vancouver BC for a couple of years to enjoy the salmon fishing and to help to connect Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria, and the universities in Washington state just south of the border. He told me about the project and I thought that it was interesting, but at the time I'd never even imagined a personal computer and I never thought that it would have such an impact on my life. Well, Dad, you did a great job and I hope that you're enjoying watching us all wander the universe that you helped to create.

I completely understand your addiction to e-mail and the internet. I feel as if my world has shut down if I don't check my e-mail in a day. The wealth of knowledge that exist right there at my fingertips is unbelievable. I am a child of the technology era so to speak so I vaguely remember what times were like pre-computers and pre-internet.
I work in a lab at a major university in the States and get journal table of contents in my e-mail (eTOCs as they are affectionately called.) The wonder of the .pdf has made literature searches simple and boy do I get irritated if I have to go over to the library (in an attached building) and GASP! photocopy an article.
This maybe a little sad but it is a product of the world we live in today.
Always love reading your blog :o)

Our NLP occupancy for nowadays is anchoring. I front came across that expression when reading Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins, the prototypal work of fiction that coupled me to NLP. But I truly got curious in the hypothesis after reading Frogs Into Princes. I first-year buried anchoring to tight-fisted that I could lead my list or soul else's convey beside one particular gun trigger. Let's investigate its meaning in a bit more extent.
In NLP, anchoring is some a hypothesis and a acquirement. John Grinder and Richard Bandler started victimisation the permanent status to dodge referring to stimulus-response, a behavorist construct that umteen psychologists of the day frowned upon.
As a construct in NLP, anchoring is the route by which we set up stimulus-response course involuntarily. An claw is a limited input that brings something like a faddy retort. For instance, whenever I see my yearling left-handed about, I smiling. He serves as the input (walking in a circle) and I react (smile). My son is a sturdy anchor for me.Post ads:

As a ability in NLP, anchoring consists in voluntarily investing the inert stimulus-response works in respectively of us. It's a conditioning implement and machine. Whenever you find yourself in an best convey you yearning to official document to in the future, go for a extremely rare stimulation (such as grabbing your microscopic finger, or whopping your linear unit twice on the soil) and lever it incessantly to genuinely clause it. At a subsequent time, after you've denaturised states, experiment your ground tackle and announcement how you income tax return to your anchored authorities.
Likewise, you can employ anchoring to others. Whenever you find human in a ad hoc kingdom (for instance, riant out piercing), you can ground tackle it with a specific fix your eyes on or facial facial expression. Allow them to go out of that authorities and later kind that external body part flood once again. Notice what happens.
For positive you've intimate the supremacy of anchoring in your energy before. Have you of all time been utilizable on a undertaking and then, all of a sudden, a tune comes on the radio that reminds you of exceptionally memories of your youthful or school years? I'm convinced you have. In that case, that hymn is an claw in your energy. Whenever you hear it, you spring fund into a unique order.Post ads:

You'll hear constantly in NLP that "you cannot not anchor." That's how all-powerful anchoring is in your beingness. Everything and anything is an claw. Right now, linguistic process this nonfictional prose is anchoring your wonder to revise more than around NLP to seeing your machine vdu. Just looking at our electronic computer makes you violently funny to revise more than and maestro NLP. See your computer, conjecture in the order of NLP. See your computer, dream up going on for NLP. Test it. It works!

Tips for having a good email template
Today let us consider some tips on attaining good response for an email marketing campaign. In this, we shall consider some useful tips for designing a good email template. The foremost thing that you can put forth in consideration is regarding the content. Always minimise the content that you are sending to the users. Consider a scenario where you have sent a mail having some hundred lines of text.
Obviously the user won't have the time to go through the mail completely. This in turn will bring less hits which not only brings negative results but also lower returns on your investments. You need to target your audience as meticulously as possible. Though it is not so easy to target the recipients, spending some time can be worthy in getting a decent list onto your account.
How to make the most out of a business email template
Once you have a good email template in your hand, it is time to think about refine your email marketing campaign strategies. Another thing that is quite often unnoticed is the time of sending mails. Although most of the mails are automated ones, you have to throw some consideration regarding the timings. If you send mails at a time when the users are asleep, there will be less chance of them reading it.
Even if you are on a simple mail service just make certain that your mails are delivered at a time which is greatly appropriate. You can easily change the timings of an automated mail server, with the help of the technical team.
Another key aspect that determines the success of your email campaign is keeping everything up to date. By quantifying the bounce rate of your emails, you will get to know what percentage of the mails are going in vain. It can be because of your new email template or the content as a whole whatsoever update your contact details regularly. Avoid the addresses that do not give a response, maybe they are not receiving it in the right way. A simple mail service should also provide an easy medium to unsubscribe from a list, if they are not finding it helpful.

To put things bluntly, Baton Rouge have stumbled mightily at the start of this summer's Premier Development League campaign. Although the capital club is not alone, with 2010 champions Portland U-23 finding themselves nine points off the pace in a rather competitive Northwest Division and beaten finalists Thunder Bay second from bottom in the Heartland Division (having only played two matches thus far), Baton Rouge coach Stuart Hayers must surely be getting nervous as the Capitals still sit twelve points adrift of reaching a playoff position. Granted, "squeaky bum time" might seem highly alarmist and misappropriated only five matches into a league campaign, and with the club retaining a couple games in hand, certainly there remains time to gain ground on the likes of Laredo. The PDL season, however, is only 16 matches long, so with one third of the campaign effectively already passed, there is scant room for error going forward.
In other words, Baton Rouge can't pretend to be Everton; there's simply not enough time.
This past weekend, fans of the Black & Red endured another gut-wrenching 1-0 loss at Crusader Stadium for the Capitals–this time at the hands of old foes Nashville. Baton Rouge had a stunningly-high number of chances to score with 18 shots that went begging, so the 31st minute strike by Jonathan Jackson of Nashville seemed just desserts for having wasted so many chances in front of the opposition's goal. Forward Adrian McCinnis looked an able partner to Ben Callon up top, with the young lad often running wide in order to slide a cross into the veteran but also contributing with his own chances on goal. Perhaps the best player on the day for Baton Rouge, however, was ball-hawking midfielder James Livingtson. The Lancashire-born Livingston provided constant cover for a rather out-of-sorts back line and effectively served to transition the side from defending to attacking when on the ball. While the final result was not what had been desired, Livingston's performance throughout the match justified his increasing prominence in the squad and indeed makes him another to watch for.
What was interesting and possibly overlooked as Hayers continues to tinker on a starting XI that can get the club back in the business of scoring and winning was where he had Livingston positioned on that rather dry pitch Sunday evening. Setting up centrally as a defensive midfielder, Livingston looked vaguely like the dot Carlo Ancelotti draws on the base of his chalkboard when devising his preferred diamond-shaped tactical formation. Labelling the Baton Rouge formation as a diamond would seem inadequate, though, as it was too roughly carved and not at all polished at the top. In this day and age when all things must seemingly be classified and enumerated by increased greatness, not being able to determine just exactly how the Capitals were reacting to one another on the pitch became somewhat of a spur. It seemed quite odd, for instance, that Guilherme Brandao–a player considered to be a forward–was playing at left fullback. At times, he was so far advanced in support of the Baton Rouge attack as to reduce the cover in front of GK Kyle Buxton down a man, but with Livingston playing in front of the centre backs, he was positioned well to lend his skill in the center while one of them could be seen moving wide left to cover the area of the pitch left undefended by Brandao. Justin Portillo remained the playmaker near midfield, and as mentioned earlier, McCinnis often played wide with Callon located typically in his centre forward position.
Perhaps fans of Italian football or those who have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all tactical formations have already surmised where this is heading, but for those who are not followers of the Italian game nor well-versed in the Azzuri side that captured the 1982 World Cup, it seems what was being performed was some variation of Catenaccio called Zona Mista. Being unable to locate a more reliable English analysis of it, this seems to explain most appropriately what Baton Rouge was doing against Nashville. In grand contradiction of the overly defensive and stagnant assumption granted to Catenaccio, this Italian-cum-Anglo-American variation generated a great deal of attacking verve for the Capitals with the only missing feature being the finishing in front of Nashville's goal. The major drawback to this formation was that it became rather unbalanced, with many of Baton Rouge's forays into Nashville's end focusing on the left where the addition of LB Brandao was used to outnumber Nashville's defensive banks. In effect, Nashville resolved to clog this portion of the pitch and effectively cut out a portion of prime real estate on the right the Capitals might have used to switch the point of attack. This also left the non-stop running of RB Steven Morris absent from the proceedings, as he sat the bench throughout to allow the tactic to see if it yielded results.
What was incredibly refreshing, though, about seeing this deployment was its utilization at an amateur league football match with a mix of university players and former English league reserves who have likely only ever known how to play in the standard 4-4-2 formation. To their credit, the players maintained the integrity of the Zona Mista throughout, rather than returning to their potentially learned by rote understanding of how football is to be played. On this particular night, Hayers and his staff had taken away their security blanket, but there seemed to be none in the Baton Rouge squad to need some type of pacifier, save Morris who had to watch events unfold from the bench. Rather, the squad could have done with a bit more luck and without one particularly fine save off the line from a Nashville defender late in the 2nd half when the net was otherwise unoccupied by someone wearing gloves. The luck, then, for Hayers and his charges must be found on another away weekend in Texas as the Capitals will seek to reverse a previous 1-0 loss to Laredo and attempt to do the double over RVG before returning home. The following two matches are incredibly crucial for the club, as it seeks to get back into the thick of things while experimenting with a new style of play.
For supporters of the Black & Red, let's hope the espresso helps.

Medicaid is a healthcare program for individuals or families whose income and resources are too low to pay for healthcare. It is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people who are low-income in the United States, and it funded by the federal and state governments. Medicaid is managed by states, so each one determines who is eligible to receive Medicaid. Recipients must be legal citizens and oftentimes includes people with disabilities. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid eligibility and federal funding.
