Here it is, Friday, Dec. 21, 2012, the day the world is supposed to end.ô I am guessing that if you are reading this, it really didnãt happen.ô A friend of mine said, as we were talking about our plans in 2013, ãIt wonãt matter because, according to the Mayans we wonãt be here.ãô I replied, ãIãm not worried about it, because Iãm not ãMayan, Iãm Hisãn!ã And I pointed toward heaven.
Just because it did not happen today, doesnãt mean it wonãt.ô One day Jesus Christ will return and receive us unto Himself that where He is we will be also.ô What a glorious day that will be, and the Bible reminds us that no man knows the day or the hour, so we need to ready now.ô Thatãs why Paul declared, ãToday is the day of salvation, now is the accepted time.ãô Are you ready? One of my favorite songs says, ãIt could happen in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.ãô I pray that you are ready for that moment.ô If not, trust Christ today and have the greatest Christmas ever.

Sweetwater First United Methodist Church wants to invite you to join us on Sunday mornings to worship and praise our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The United Methodist Church is open to all persons and is a place where all are welcome and encouraged to ãcome as you areã with the expectation that by the grace of God you will leave different. The change that a relationship with Christ brings about is a life-changing encounter and we believe that while God accepts us as we are He loves us enough not to leave us in our sins. We believe that Scripture informs all aspects of our lives and should be our rule and authority.
The first service begins at 8:45 a.m. and is built around a traditional model with great hymns of the church. This service uses a more liturgical framework and often employs a wonderful choir. Immediately following the first service we have Sunday school classes for all ages and stages of life. We invite you to try one of our many opportunities to come together and seek God in small groups that emphasize Godãs Word and proclaim His glory.
At 10:50 a.m. we have a second worship service that has a decidedly contemporary flavor and incorporates more of progressive style and pace. This second service also has a childrenãs time and ãChildrenãs Churchã for kids in preschool through second grade.
Sweetwater FUMC also has youth activities on Sunday nights beginning at 6 p.m. Every Tuesday and Wednesday FUMC hosts the Gaylordãs Pantry and a clothes closet.

News this week: This Sunday FUMC will have only one service at 10:50 a.m. We will be having an all-church breakfast in the fellowship hall at 9:45 a.m. Bring a breakfast dish to share and come join us for a time of singing and celebration.

During the Christmas season, we sometimes find ourselves being consumed or under stress with the hustle and bustle. Bless This House calls for prayer that God gives us the strength to stay focused and not succumb to the pressures of commercialization of the season. Pray that our daily living conveys to our fellowman the true meaning of Christmas and that God has already given his most precious gift to mankind.
You are always invited to join us at 1801 Lamar Street, sharing in our vision of making Disciples of Jesus Christ, growing spiritually, fulfilling our God-given gifts, witnessing to others and ministering to ones in need.
The Light of the World
By Kimberly Reid
(Based on a true story.)
ãFor as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made aliveã (1ô Corinthians 15:22).
Erin stood on Temple Square in Salt Lake City looking at life-sized statues of the nativity scene and waiting for the music and story to begin. Christmas lights twinkled all around her. But it didnãt feel like Christmastime.
ãAre you all right?ã Mom asked her. Erin nodded, but she wasnãt so sure. Only a few days ago, a boy from Erinãs class at school had died in a car accident. She had seen a lot of people crying at the funeral, and she had cried a lot herself. She hadnãt known the boy that well, but Erin knew his family loved him as much as her family loved her. She felt scared to know that something like that could happen to someone her age.
Now she didnãt feel excited for Christmas. She felt worried all the timeãscared to get in a car, scared to be apart from her parents, scared to leave her house in case something bad happened to her while she was away. All the Christmas lights on Temple Square couldnãt erase the worried feeling inside her. How could she be happy in a world where she wasnãt always safe?
ãItãs about to start,ã Dad said. He pointed to the nativity scene.
The loudspeakers crackled to life, and a voice began speaking. Music played and spotlights shone down on statues of shepherds, Wise Men, Mary and Joseph. Erin listened to the familiar story. The baby Jesus was born and laid in a manger. Angels sang. Shepherds worshipped. Wise Men rejoiced.
Erin looked at the faces of her parents and the crowd gathered around the nativity scene. They all seemed happy. But why was everyone so happy about the baby Jesus if His birth didnãt stop bad things from happening? Erin didnãt like the question circling through her head. All she wanted was to stop feeling afraid.
The story ended, and a recording of the prophetãs voice came over the loudspeaker. He bore his testimony and read a scripture from the Bible: ãFor as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made aliveã (1ô Corinthians 15:22).
Erinãs heart beat faster. She said the words again in her mind, trying to remember them. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
The scripture said that everyone would dieãyoung people, old peopleãeveryone. Erin knew that, of course, but she hadnãt thought about it much before. She thought she was too young to think about such things. But she wasnãt too young to have a testimony of the truth: because of Jesus Christ, everyone would live again. Thatãs why the shepherds and Wise Men rejoiced. They understood what Jesus had come to earth to do.
Erin looked from the little stable to a window in the visitorsã center behind the nativity scene. Inside the building a light shone on a large statue of Jesus stretching out His scarred hands. Erin thought about the little baby in the manger and how He grew into someone who had all power. And yet He chose to sacrifice His life for her. He had been born so she could live again. No matter what happened, Erin could feel safe in Jesusãs love.
Peace washed over her. She couldnãt quite explain how, but her worry disappeared. When she looked at the statue of Jesus Christ, shining brighter than twinkling Christmas lights, she barely noticed the dark night sky. She was too busy feeling the warmth of hope flickering inside her.
ãJesus Christ is ãÎ the light of the world because his example and his teachings illuminate the path we should walk to return to the presence of our Father in Heaven.ã

It is our prayer that you find hope this Christmas SeasonãÎhope in the form of Jesus Christ, born in a lowly manger in Bethlehem, and dying on the Cross for all our sins. If you would like more information on how to accept Christ as your Savior, drop by our offices (located on the Crescent Street side of our facility) or call our church at 235-2991. We would be happy to share the plan of Salvation with you. May God bless you all.
Hosea 4:6 Godãs scripture says, ãMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.ã If you are reading this, obviously the world has not ended. Once again, we allow worldly wisdom and knowledge to convince us that it might happen. Donãt know if the Mayans were just false prophetãs or if the calender never got finished because the people perished away and no one could finish the calender. So the ones that tried to convince us may be the false prophets. Yet we still get uneasy concerning these things they tell us will happen. The scriptures in Hosea 4 are telling us that those who are Godãs children will be destroyed for lack of knowledge. Not the knowledge of the world or man, but the knowledge of God. We are all looking for something to tell us when the world will end. We look at manãs knowledge to understand, but we miss it because we donãt know Godãs knowledge. Godãs knowledge doesnãt speak of the Mayans. But it does tell us what to look for when Christ is coming back. The reason we look to the worldãs knowledge is because we donãt know Godãs. This comes from the lack of reading Godãs Word and having the Holy Spirit to teach spiritual knowledge and to give understanding, instead of being fooled by men. Luke 21:29-31 Jesus said Behold the fig tree and all trees. When they now shoot forth, you see and know of your own selves that summer is now close at hand. So likewise, when you see these things come to pass know you that the Kingdom of God is close at hand.
So what does ãwhen you see these thingsã mean? Well ãthese thingsã are spoken of in the scriptures. I can tell you there is nothing in there about the Mayans and their calender. But if you donãt have Godãs knowledge or His understanding you would not know that and you would also not know when the signs are being shown to us by God. Read Matthew 24:1-25:46 these are signs given to us by Jesus. Do you see the trees shooting forth? Remember Godãs word said that ãyou see and know for your own selves.ã
Are you getting taught Godãs truths or just a prepared message for church? Are you reading His word or depending on someone to tell you? Many will be deceived for lack of the full truth of God. Look up, salvation might be coming or maybe not. Only the ones that have the knowledge of Godãs scriptures and what He says about the end will know that the time is at hand. Will you?
Word of God service times:
ã Sunday mornings at 10:30.
ã Adult Bible study is Thursday nights from 5:30-8 p.m.
ã Youth church is Wednesday nights from 6:30-8 p.m.
ã Youth hang out night is Sunday nights from 6:30-8 p.m.
Transforming ordinary people into passionate followers of Christ, through Godãs Word growing them into mature Christians to be Jesusã lights in this world and witnesses of the Gospel of Jesus and the kingdom of God seeking the lost for the glory of God and His kingdom.

On tap at KClinger's.
Apperance: Body is a very hazy yellow-peach color and has a foamy, rocky head of about an inch with below average retention.
Smell: Interesting. A dry and hoppy breath of Saaz and some citrus flavors of lemon and orange.
Taste: This is a unique beer. It's like a witbier but not quite. The taste has light spicy nutmeg, some clove, and loads of citrusy orange and lemon and a really odd sweet aftertaste. It's like cake-mix. It's um, different. Yeah. Different.
Mouthfeel: Nice and light, like a witbier ought to have. The taste gets in the way though.
Drinkability: I could see these going fast if it's your style. But it's just a little too strange for me. But, I did finish my pint unusally fast, trying to figure this one out. So, drinkability is good.

Poured a straw cloudy color with small head that quickly disapeared. Smell is of grainy wheat and a sweet, citrus, yeasty almost unpleasant scent. The taste is a real disappointment, it is just sweet. A sugary sweet taste with no balance whatsoever. It leaves the palate with the same sweetness. It does have nice carbonation but the sweet taste is too overpowering. I could only drink one. Give me some salty peanuts for cryin out loud. I Won't drink this one again.

On-tap at the Hopleaf in Chicago.
Nice looking light orange color, average head.
Big yeast and light citrus aromas, so far on target for a wheat beer.
Very creamy, little carbonation. Very light flavors in every department. Yeast and orange flavors are most noticable but not particularly strong.
Not too impressive, I was excited to try a Bell's product, but I probably should have picked something else, pretty boring.

pours out pretty hazy yellow-hay colour, with thin head and some lacing.
nose is faint, but smells slightly of yeast and some citrus.
taste is a nice sweet malt, balanced out with a small amount of hops. the hops seem to have an orange/lemon/citrus aspect to them. the sweetness of the malt is definately the main thing i pick up on with this beer, though.
mouthfeel is creamy with good carbonation. incredibly drinkable with it's relatively low ABV.
this beer is on tap everywhere here in marquette, and so i often get it. i find on tap it's a bit lackluster compared to the bottle, which i'm drinking now.
marketed as a summer beer, it seems to come out a bit different from year to year. a good summer staple, recommended.

12oz Bottle from Wine Country Illinois, Homer Glen, Illinois
A orange-amber cloudy color. You can see the wheat and hops in the beer. Unfortunately, first glance I could only think of a drug-test specimen!
A wheaty fruit filled-frangrance made this beer quite appealing to me.
Medium bodied and refreshing. You could taste the Saaz hops and a distinct but not overpowering citrus flavor. A quality well-balanced beer.
Smooth, creamy, and not very carbonated. Great for the summer evening grill-outs.
Very refreshing. A good wheat beer and not overpowering. This is the best wheat beer I have had! However, I'd have to leave it in the bottle!

Sampled from a 12 oz bottle. This one pours a cloudy gold with a small beaded head. Very mild aroma of wheaty sweetness with some spicy hops, & a hint of clove. Very light in the mouth with spicy hops & high fruitiness. Understated flavors of banana, lemon, tart green apple are evident. Finish is clean with some gentle peppery bitterness. Well balanced, easy-drinking, but somewhat uneventful brew.

This wheat beer pours a hazy golden color. Its smell is crisp and very indicative of its wheat nature. Its taste is tart and sweet, and again it is quite apparent that this is a wheat beer. It is slightly more carbonated than most beers I drink, so the mouth is greeted with a pleasant tingly sensation with each sip. A fine beer from a very fine brewery.

Cloudy in appearance on the pour. Color is a dark amber-orange. Sparse head (despite the aggressive pour) faded quickly to an "edge-only" ring. Scant lacing of the glass. Aromas have notes of orange peel, fresh bread dough, and some spicy notes as well. Flavor continues the aromatic trends. Suprisingly low levels of wheat flavor noted. However, this plays well with the spicy/zippy/zingy flavors of citrus. Hops are present in the background, showing up with more pronounced flavor near the end. Aftertaste is sweet and doughy. Very balanced. Good mouthfeel and very drinkable. Excellent summer beer. Another winner from Bell's.

12oz bottle obtained via trade with CRJMellor. Thanks for the opportunity...
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/2" bright white head above very cloudy light amber brew. Head doesn't last too long, but then most wheats don't, and laces average or a bit below, also not unexpected for the style. Aroma is kind of an earthy, wheaty aroma, and not a strong as I would expect. Taste is subtly citrusy, combined with a nice wheat malt body. Mouthfeel is good, and the drinability is very good. A nice summertime brew.

Appearance Very hazy and inviting yellow with a strong, white head that rose up nicely and left little pools of foam on top of the liquid.
Smell Well, it smells like an American grain-based Pale Ale with a hint of wheat and a light, almost-soury lemon note.
Taste The wheat is second to the grain, but theres just enough of it to smooth things out. Again, theres a light hint of lemon, not enough even to turn things sour, but just enough to be noticed. The grain is a higher-than-normal grade, making the all-around taste relatively good.
Mouthfeel Very smooth, almost creamy, with a light carbonation that avoids the usual fizziness of American efforts.
Drinkability This is not my style of choice, but for what it is trying to do I think its a solid effort by Bells.

I must say that I like this beer much more on tap than in bottle--and I'm not generally one to make a huge deal out of the serving. With that said, out of the tap comes a lightly hazy golden lemonade body with a wispy white head. Smells of snappy wheat malt, with refreshing citrus hoppiness and yeasty character throughout. Taste is solid, crisp, wheaty malt up front with a light biscuit element. Mones into a refreshing, almost sour citric hoppiness. Some yeasty taste. Finish is citrus bitter tang. Medium bodied, yet thirst-quenching and a great summer beer.

Oberon: King of the Fairies in William Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. It's a little past midsummer night I'm afraid, but an early July day will have to do.
Significantly hazy lemon-amber with a large, bone white head that falls sloooowly and settles at a thick disk for nearly the life of the beer. A decent amount of lace in scattered scraps finds its way to the glass. The nose is of wheat and spice with a hint of pear-like fruitiness.
I'm enjoying the taste and the mouthfeel very much. Oberon is more flavorful than the vast majority of wheat beers and is both light/easy drinking and substantial at the same time. The flavor profile is equal parts untoasted wheat malt and softly bitter, spicy-herbal hops. Again, there are subtle, but unmistakable, pear and green apple notes.
The beer favors sweet right out of the chute and on the backstretch, while favoring dry and crisp at the wire. It's also blessed with a quality body/mouthfeel that matches the flavor perfectly and is just right for a summer seasonal; not overly thin like many.
This just might be my favorite wheat beer to date. Bell's has done a wonderful job with Oberon and I now wish that I had picked up an entire six-pack.

My friend's girlfriend brought a sampler of Bell's brews down to Florida from her home in Indiana. Thanks Anna and Adam for sharing. I haven't seen Bell's in Florida.
I have to confess that I like the name for this beer. Why not name your summer ale after a Shakespeare character? Good choice. The beer doesn't quite live up to the great name, though.
Maybe it's because I'm a big fan of German wheat beers. American wheats seem bland to me. But since I just had Samuel Adams' Hefeweizen, I think Bell's Oberon Ale is just a tad too light. I would hope for a bit more substance. But this beer is still quite drinkable. It is a decent summer choice for drinking on a hot day.

Had this in Cincy last weekend.
Nice strawberry-blonde color. Holds its head well.
A liitle soapy at first taste, flowery after that will just a hint of tartness with the citrus overtones.
A nice change of pace from what I usually imbibe. Recommended for a nice summer Ale.

Pours a hazy, cloudy pale yellow with a medium head. Aroma of sweet cream butter and caramel.
Taste is the same as the aroma: Fluffy, buttery, light biscuity taste with caramel, vanilla and honey. Light wheaty flavors but, surprisingly, no yeast. Also surprising is how not-cloying this beer is, as it could very easily have fallen over the sweetness edge.
Velvety smooth, silky texture -- it's like a carnival in my mouth! Very drinkable, could stay with this one all night. Classified as a weizen but impresses me more as a hybrid cream ale. Best of the Bell's products I've tried, and that's pretty impressive.

This beer pours a cloudy gold body. A fairly thick, creamy/fizzy head with some stickiness as it goes down.
The smell is of wheat and touch of spices. Fairly good.
This has warmed a bit before my taste of this. The taste is wheaty and spice like the smell. A bit sweet to my taste as well. Doesn't hurt it any but a bit unexpected.
The carbonation is moderate and the consistency is good just leaning a bit toward watery (only as opposed to oily). Feels refreshing going down.
This is a quality session beer for the warmer weather. Good enough to have a few on a warm day. I might get another 6er or two before the summer ends, hopefully supplies last that long.

Pours a hazy straw color with a hint of orange. No real head when poured but when roused forms a thinish white head. Aromas of yeast, fresh bread, wheat, and a bit of lemony acidity. The taste is spritzy, lemony, with a hint of yeast imparted complexity (perhaps a hint of banana and a bit of clove). This is a nice easy drinking hot weather beer. I like the bit of lemon-acidity, whithout which this beer would be a dud. As this beer warms up the fruitiness picks up a bit. There is a nice bit of spiciness, which seems to be from a hop contribution. Certainly recommended if you are in need of Summer time refreshment.

From the tap pours a hazy golden color liquid with a white foamy head. The head did not stay very long, and there was minimal lace on the glass. Smell was a wonderful combination of oranges and spices. Tastes grainy, slightly sour with some zestyness to it. Seems like corriander or another spice is in this, almost like a Belgian Wit, but not quite. The finish was very yeasty, and seemed a bit off to me. It almost seemed sandy at the end. Light body, and probably could have used more carbonation. Overall, this is not bad, but something about the finish just didn't seem right to me. Could be refreshing, I may try this one again in the future.

Served at Kelly's in a pint glass. The color was golden, with a wispy white head. The smell was a very slight wheat and yeast. The taste was a nice citrus, with a slight clove taste, and a strong yeastiness to it. Mouthfeel seemed a bit undercarbonated for a wheat beer. As for drinkability, this would be a very nice session beer and could have quite a few of these.
A fine beer for this upcoming summer. A nice, refreshing treat that I probably will have quite a few of. Thank you Larry Bell!!!

A: Hazy yellow in color with a somewhat thin, sticky head.
S: Slightly yeasty~wheaty at first. Hop aromas are a fairly pronounced floral smell.
T: Lemon zest over the whole palate, which I'm thinking it tied in with getting a big noseful of the hoppy aromas. Hops are crisp and sharp, with a sweet, malty finish.
M: Medium in body with a nice dry finish. No real lingering aftertaste noted.
D&N: Just a flat out awesome summer beer. Refreshing as hell, with really nice aromas and flavors. Well done, Larry!

Ironically, my first introduction to good beer was Oberon, two years ago at a local "beer garden" (read: student dive with better-than-average tap offerings). It's been my favorite summer beer since, and I thought I'd revisit the old standby...
Appearance: Bright golden orange, rather cloudy, with a limited amount of head that left moderate lace. Definitely an unusual color as far as wheat beers go, but then again Oberon isn't exactly a traditional wheat beer, so I'm willing to let this slide.
Smell: Heavy-duty citrus and floral notes, with a limited degree of hoppiness. If you get this at a bar where they insist on putting fruit or some such nonsense in or on the glass (horrors!), you won't be able to pick up the hops at all, even if you pick the obscenity out right away - the hops are that low-key.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Meyer lemon and bergamot flavors up front, fading into some unintelligible sweet flavors and a weak malty finish. Not a heavyweight beer by any means, but quite refreshing with all that citrus.
Drinkability: An eminently sessionable beer and a good all-around summer quaff - goes well with just about any summertime food you'd care to name, and you can have four or five sitting on your back deck without hurting yourself too badly.

Well this is a strange wheat beer indeed. Tastes more like a trippel to me, but a little on the weaker side. I got some very heavy fruit notes in the nose, but more reminiscent of a belgian than a wheat beer, heavy ester notes that seem lighter in a wheat beer. Very sweet heavy fruity taste, not very good for the style, but I don't care, I think this is more of a wheat tripppel or something like that than a wheat beer proper. I drank four of them in a row after a couple Optimators on draft, so I'm fairly drunk, but I would say this is a drinkable beer that I will return to. Again, not very good for the style, too sweet and not 'wheaty' enough, but very interesting beer.

Yellow-orange in color, slightlt coudy with a thin white head. Aroma is lemony with a floral hop note. Flavor is light and fruity with a strong malty base. Sweetness is balanced almost a hint of a sweet tart. Flavor is moderately dry with a very slight sweetness lingering. Mouthfeel fairly light without being watery. Drinkability is outstanding.

WASHINGTON - The farm bills now before Congress - one from the Senate, the other from the House - attest to the inertia of politics.
There is no "public interest" (a phrase often meaningless in Washington) in having government subsidize farmers. Food would be produced without subsidies.
The uncertainties and insecurities faced by farmers from unpredictable weather and global markets, though often compelling, are paralleled by the uncertainties and insecurities faced by many industries from disruptive technologies, erratic business cycles and shifting public tastes.
Yet, unlike most industries, agriculture is lavishly subsidized and protected by government.
The explanation is force of habit. Since the Great Depression of the 1930s, when there were plausible reasons to aid farmers, government has consistently accorded agriculture special treatment.
The politics of doing so long ago became self-perpetuating.
Without the massive subsidies, the Agriculture Department would be far less important. So would the congressional agriculture committees and the crowd of farm groups - sometimes, it seems, one for almost every crop - that lobby for benefits.
And certainly the farmers who receive payments and protections feel entitled to them.
All this creates a powerful and shared vested interest in safeguarding the status quo, even as different interest groups and their congressional champions fight ferociously over the structure and distribution of benefits.
The cost has been considerable.
From 1995 to 2012, the various subsidies totaled $293 billion - more than $16 billion annually - according to the Environmental Working Group, a critic of present programs.
This understates the true costs, because it includes only the on-budget costs of explicit subsidies. Excluded are higher consumer prices paid on some products (sugar, for instance) that are partially shielded from market competition.
The congressional agriculture committees faced a special challenge this year because huge federal deficits have put pressure on spending. The committees straddled this difficulty by claiming to make substantial savings while actually extending expensive programs.
In press releases, the Senate Agriculture Committee says its bill will cut deficits by $24 billion from 2014 to 2023.
This sounds like a lot but isn't.
Even if the savings occur, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that farm subsidies will total almost $190 billion over the decade.
And the savings may not materialize. The projections depend on assumptions about market prices and crop yields that, in the past, have often proved optimistic, says the EWG's Scott Faber.

The art of the deal in Congress has not been lost, as both parties found a way on Monday to wiggle out of a political battle that threatened to develop into a full blown government shutdown for Uncle Sam at the end of this week.
But instead of that, lawmakers found a way to tweak a stop gap budget bill to temporarily keep the government running into mid-November.
The deal announced Monday evening made two changes to a House-passed budget bill, knocking out $1.6 billion in budget cuts approved by the House, and taking out $1 billion in extra money for FEMA.
The extra money was tossed out of the bill after FEMA suddenly "found" it had more than enough money to get through the week and to the end of the fiscal year.
Without having to worry that FEMA would run out of disaster money during the week, then the way was open to do two things - cut out an extra $1 billion in funding meant for this fiscal year - and getting rid of $1.6 billion in budget cuts meant to pay for some of the extra disaster aid.
The Senate approved two different measures last night: a short term budget to keep the government running into early next week and the longer six week budget plan.
That means the House will likely approve the four day plan on Thursday when the House meets in a technical "pro forma" session.
There would then be a vote next week when lawmakers return to work on the longer term budget bill.

As an aside anyone interested in South American football and its players, I find Tim Vickerys commentary are excellent. It's a weekly blog and he lives in South America. If you read the Q & A below the blog you will see he really knows his stuff.
BBC - BBC Sport: Tim Vickery
I know there's not too many of you Arsenal fans on here, but this deserves a repeat viewing. It's Arshavin's second goal against Atletico Madrid in the Emirates Cup.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd_n-NcRiNA&feature=related"]YouTube - Arsenal v A madrid - arshavin second ec[/ame]
Not sure how many of Mexico's players are playing in club matches but im pretty sure Bradley, Bocanegra, Feilhaber, Davies, Cherundolo, and Demerit are all playing games in Europe this weekend. Traveling from Europe to Miami to Mexico City is going to be grueling...I hope they all have enough in the tank to pull off the major upset
Charity shield today, United looked a bit anaemic. I know its early season but Foster looked poor in goal as he has done most pre-season. They have now lost Vidic and Nani as well as Van der Sar. Valencia sure did not look like Ronaldo out there.
BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | M | Man Utd | Man Utd suffer Nani injury blow
I don't want to compare Valencia to Ronaldo, but seriously barring Evra as usual bombing up the flanks and Nani looking usefull but no more I would worry about where your service from midfield is going to come from.
Berbatov looked lost today, he really needs to pick it up too.
I don't really get the analogy regarding Ronaldo and service from midfield. Ronaldo provided VERY little service from midfield. The last season, Ronaldo didn't even play in midfield, more often than not he was playing up front as basically a CF or he had a free role behind a striker.
The biggest concern with Ronaldo is replacing the boatload of goals he scored, not service from midfield. Valencia is more than capable of putting balls into the box, he's a different player than Ronaldo. People seem to think Valencia was bought to replace Ronaldo, he really wasn't, Ronaldo was anything but an out and out winger his last two years at United.
With Nani out, Ferguson can revert to Rooney playing on a wing with Owen and Berbatov up front. I know he wants to play Rooney in Ronaldo's role but he can always play out wide if need be.
Ronaldo linked the midfield with the forwards through his dribbling, taking on and beating opposition players and his late runs in to the box which made him difficult to mark. United have nobody that can fill that role.
Liverpool have Gerrard, Chelsea have Lampard, I can't see Rooney filling that role, yes when he first burst on the scene, and as for playing on the wing Rooney looked sxxt out there last season.
Ronaldo had 18 league goals last year, that is achieveable by Rooney or Berbatov if he finds his feet, ronaldo however had 20 assists last year I can't see anybody replacing that this year.
Ronaldo scored goals, yes, but his vision and ability to draw defenders off other players whilst crafting a superb pass or cross is what I can't see happening this year.

Tim Ireland on tabloids, media, blogs and politics
Daily Mail and the Foxy Knock-Offski
Did anyone else notice anything funny about this picture of Adam Werritty's business card, as featured in the Daily Mail? No? Just me then.
Was anyone else so blinded by irrational hatred for tabloid newspapers that they recognised it as backwards text and assumed this to be the result of their scanning it from another newspaper? No? Didn't think so.
Was anyone else so jealous of the professional standard set by the Mail that they spent an entire 2.5 seconds reversing the image to confirm this, and then spent a further 6.8 seconds in Google so they might discover which newspaper the Daily Mail has been lifting material from without credit? No? Well, that's to be expected.
Oh, and it was The Guardian, by the way; the Daily Mail scanned an image for one of their articles from The Guardian, and didn't bother crediting them. But I'm sure this is one of those perfectly innocent oversights, and the Daily Mail had permission to use the image, which is why they used the high resolution version one can only get from scanning a two-day-old copy of a rival newspaper.

To my eternal shame my mother and step father continue to buy this chip wrapper…
Have you informed the Guardian? I suspect they might be interested, even if only to have a little dig at them…
It's a business card – they don't need permisison to reproduce. I'm no fan of the Mail, but this inclination to jump on everything they do is petty.

How UGG Got Its Y Chromosome Back
UGG boots, the fuzzy-lined sheepskin boots best known for warming the toes of female celebs as they trot around Aspen and college girls as they trudge from class to class, are trying to recapture the interest of their original customer: dudes.
As UGG Australia prepares to introduce its largest assortment ever of men's styles for fall, the company has enlisted Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as the new face of UGG for men. The first commercial spot, called "Steps," with music by Mos Def, follows three-time Super Bowl winner Brady, wearing a variety of UGG men's footwear, as he runs with a look of smolder-y purpose on his face through a variety of country- and cityscapes. It airs tonight during the NFL's first Monday Night Football game of the season, featuring Brady's Patriots and the Dolphins.
UGG was originally marketed primarily to the types of outdoorsy, adventure-sports-loving men who shopped in surf and ski shops, though their girlfriends were known to swipe the comfy boots for themselves, or buy them in smaller unisex sizes.
When the UGG Australia was acquired by Deckers Outdoor in 1995, the company shifted its focus to women, who buy more shoes than men and are open to a greater variety of styles. UGG was in the process of repositioning itself from a men's brand to "men's, women's and kids, luxury and comfort," Constance Rishwain, president of UGG, said, and initially the company's ad dollars were shifted to target women. "When I could only afford one ad, it was Vogue."
In 2000, after the company introduced women's and children's styles, Oprah Winfrey declared the original sheepskin boots as one of her "favorite things," setting off enormous brand buzz in the way that only Oprah can. UGG's subsequent strong female following was cemented after the company introduced pink and baby-blue styles, and made sure Hollywood's brightest stars--the Sex and the City cast, Kate Hudson, Oprah--were seen in them.
"It was like a bomb went off," Rishwain said. "That's where the wait lists started; we couldn't keep up with it."
And that's where the brand's awareness with men started to lag. While growth in the women's line has been "explosive," Rishwain said (2011 will be UGG's 13th year of double-digit sales growth, she adds), sales of the men's styles grew more slowly. And public perception of the brand reflected this.
Judging by some of the recent feedback, UGG has a healthy amount of male skepticism to overcome if it wants to reclaim its image as a men's brand. "I don't care if he's Tom Brady, it's still a dude wearing UGG," as one YouTube commenter [2] put it.
But UGG is convinced Brady, a blond California native who you could as easily picture on a surfboard as in the end zone, is the right man to help reposition the UGG name as a brand for men, too. Despite his high-profile marriage to Gisele Bündchen, the fact that he just signed a $72 million contract extension, and his metrosexual crossover appeal to women, UGG says Brady--perhaps because he was an underdog second-to-last-round draft pick who went on to win three Super Bowls--somehow still exudes a "normal guy" vibe that will convince men that UGG shoes are cool shoes worn by cool guys.
By the end of this year, UGG will have 50 physical store locations worldwide, and despite its recent increases in the number of men's styles, customers still express some surprise that the offerings aren't all pink, leopard print, or marketed toward women.
"Men go in with their wives and see men's products and pick them up; customers are blown away that we have such a large variety of men's shoes," Rishwain says. "Going with Tom Brady is going to spread that knowledge that there is a line for men, and to get more of their eyeballs on the brand."

Deluxe Old Club Staunton Chess Set in Rosewood and Boxwood
I bought the 3.75" King set. This is a most beautiful set, almost a piece of art. The pieces are perfectly crafted, and there isn't a single imperfection in the wood used. The black pieces get their color from the natural dark color of the wood, which is much nicer than painted pieces, of course. They are heavily weighted, which gives them excellent stability and therefore prevents them from falling over when moving them. The billiard cloth pads give a soft feel and prevents scratching the be...

I love wearing comfy jeans just about everyday, especially in the fall and winter. But I am guilty of throwing on super boring outfits, just out of habit and lack of time. I found that if I incorporate some key pieces like a statement handbag or a pair of super cool boots, my jeans and t-shirt outfits suddenly look pretty cool! Check out some of my favorite pieces to pair with jeans! - By Chelsea Fuss

I've been looking at these headphones and so far have only found one review on Expansys; does anyone have a pair of these?
I've seen lots of comments which are mainly coloured by people's lack of love for Monster but no real informed comments about the quality. - 03-06-2012, 11:06 AM #3
I have a pair and I think they're fine. My telco bundled them with my Lumia 800; I would never actually pay for them, the price is faintly ridiculous. Anyway, after updating my Lumia to the 12070 firmware today, the phone's output finally does the headphones justice.
I'm not an expert, but I'd say bass is fairly strong and treble is adequate. Hardware-wise, I find it a little less solidly built than the Beats range, but otherwise the construction is very similar.
You don't have much of a choice when it comes to over ear headphones with WP-compatible controls anyway, unless you go for a Bluetooth option. - 03-07-2012, 12:30 PM #5
When these came in my lumia 800 bundle I was initially very dissapointed in the sound quality. Now I realize it's just the sound quality of the 800. I tried them with my focus s, they sound quite good.
Just to follow up, I upgraded my 800's firmware today, and these headphones sound quite good now. Huge difference.
I had a pair of these delivered today and to say I'm disappointed in the sound quality is an understatement. On both the Windows Phones I tried them on the sound is muffled, voices can barely be heard. Unfortuantely I'll need to send them back and I'm not sure if it's a quality control issue or something that is common to these. :(
Well I'm glad I tried these again.....
So after trying to be really careful with the headphones and packaging (just in case I need to send anything back) I thought I'd try the headphones again and the magical second cable in the box. I didn't notice the difference between the 2 cables at first sooooo..... I tried the 2nd cable :)
The sound is absolutely perfect, crisp and clear on rock or classical.Last edited by Narr; 03-22-2012 at 06:53 PM. Reason: update
I picked up a pair yesterday and I like the quite a bit. They aren't as bass heavy as Beats, but low end is well defined and tight. Acoustic music sounds really fantastic, especially. The case is much better than most I've seen and make them truly portable. Cable is detachable and I love the flat tangle free design. Controls work great, and they actually control my Galaxy Note as well. Very good volume level as well. Using them with a Titan 2, btw.
Does anyone know if these work with the 920 I got them for christmas and the in line functions such as the media controls and the in line mic dont seem to be working i called nokia and they said they were the right ones but when i go to settings it doesnt show the headphones in the accessories
