I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this rental. Ver well equipped, very well maintained and the location... I mean the location is pretty much as good as it gets. I usually measure the standard of the rental by the number of times i need to contact the owner while on vacation. This time: Zero! Everything was crystal clear before we got there and we had NOTHING to worry about or ask about during our two weeks stay. The night of our arrival, when we stepped out of the cab i was like "Wooohh! This is going to be cheerful!" as the club Fat Tuesday peaked with a wild party going on. But once we entered the apartment there was nothing to worry about. You don't get a load of the noise from the street. So we slept like babies. Sure, it's there... The party downstairs, that is. But then again, it's a rental right in the heart of Ocean Drive. If dead silence is what you're after, don't chose this one. But do NOT rent this apartment and afterwards have issues about the party level on the street. That would be like ordering sushi and complain about the undercooked fish. No, i have nothing but two big thumbs up for this one. Next time we're going to Miami Beach this will definitely be our first priority.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for the positive review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. For people who are lite sleepers, there is a central fan that can be switched from "auto" to "on" by doing this you will not hear any noise from Ocean Drive or downstairs. I have been renting my condo on this site since 2006. I make sure that my guests have all the details they need prior to arriving. This assures that their stay is stress free.

This condo is very clean and comfortable. It's located right in the middle of all the action in South Beach. Which can be good and bad. It can get noisy at night. I had a "white noise" app. which saved me. Also, there are eye shades in the drawer because the blinds let in a lot of light. Take some if there are two of you. The beach is right across the street. I had a great time. Look into eating at the Versace villa. Expensive, but worth it to see the lovely house. Also had an excellent meal at Hotel Astor. Dei Frescobaldi has amazing Italian food.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

This rental is in the center of everything. I loved the location, and the fact that one of the most popular bars was right downstairs. The condo was a nice size for the two of us, it wasn't huge but wasn't extremely small either. My only major concern was that we would see roaches every now and then. I have seen them in the kitchen as well as the common space where the bed was. However, after alerting the owner, he stated that he would be hiring an exterminator to fix the problem. The owner, Scott, was very pleasant and informative about the property. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Thanks again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, girls getaway, tourists without a car.
Owner response: Thank you for taking time to write the review. This building, like most others in Florida, has monthly extermination service. I can order "emergency service" at anytime. I appologize that it was not a 5 star stay. I promise to get this issue rectified ASAP.

I stayed at this locacation for a few day, and I am pleased to say I truly enjoyed it. This place was very clean including inside and out( hallways, elevator, etc) and quite. Nice comfortable king sizebed with nice flat screen tv. I enjoyed the extra large all around windows which made beach a little bite visable from the condo. Air condition /central air was nice and cozy which was great on those extra hot days. The location is also great right across from the beach. No need for a car. A lot of shopping area near by. Condo was wonderfull.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We had a great time!! The condo, the building, the owner...perfect! We stayed for almost 3 weeks and we enjoyed every day. The price and the conditions are more than fair! And we will come back for sure!! Although there are a lot of bars and esspecially on the weekend the surrounding is very noisy...well it´s the Ocean Drive....BUT you don´t here anything inside the condo. The building is very clean and the cleaning ladies are very sweet. Scott, thank you so much...we will come back!!!Owner response: Thank you for the kind reviews. I am glad you mentioned that this condo is quiet. Many people assume that it will no be quiet inside the condo, due to the location on Ocean Drive. I think it is quiet because it is located on the 3rd floor. This condo is kept VERY clean, thanks to the great cleaning ladies that have worked for me for over 6 years.

We went to Miami (South Beach) for a work conference being held at a hotel near the airport and decided to make this a slight vacation by going to the beach. I was dishearted by the prices of the "boutique" hotels near South Beach Miami but then i realized that my travel dates were at the end of the spring break season. When I talked with Scott (owner of the condo) he negoitiated a great price with me and told me that my stay and the location of the condo would be worth my money and it was. When I arrived I was surprised and pleased with the building, the room, and how well kept the inside was. The only concern that I had was the noise level outside the condo since there was like an all day party downstairs at the popular South Beach Bars....but I will tell you honestly there was not a sound in the condo. It was very well insulated as to not disturb you while you slept which was important for me having to get up earlier in the morning. Overall I was pleased and would stay here again if I were to take another trip to Miami Beach. Bryan NailsDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

This studio condo is right in the middle of all that makes South Beach the place to be, the beach, the restaurants, the shops, the clubs. The owner provided accurate and truthful descriptions of the location, condo layout and it's amenities. The place was very clean and well stocked with everything one needs in a home away from home. Although the furniture was a bit worn and outdated, it was functional and comfortable. The kitchen was completely remodeled and well stocked with all that is needed for meal preparation and eating. The cupboards contained dishes, glasses, seasonings, coffee and other items. The appliances were a nice touch, too. There was even dish detergent and paper towels! The wi-fi never let us down. The rooftop deck provided awesome ocean views. We enjoyed being at the unit as much as we did being out and about. The owner was forthright about the location of the unit above a restaurant/bar and was not as noisy as I anticipated. My experience with the owner was all good. He was very prompt and responsive. He refunded my damage deposit promptly. This was my first vacation rental experience and I hope to return to this condo next year,Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, tourists without a car.
Owner response: I appreciate your review. I pride myself on being responsive and accurate when descibing what this condo. The furniture has since been replaced with all new furnature in the spring of 2012. As for the rooftop deck, I do not own that space, it belongs to the owner of the 4th floor penthouse suite. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you can come back soon.

This is a perfect place if you're looking to hit South Beach for a few days..not need a car and dig the beach! The location is great and super easy walking to anywhere! The Studio is great shape, super clean and small...but who the hell is spending time inside when in South Beach? It has everything you need and perhaps more considering we really did not use the kitchen very much at all. Everything is updated and great working condition. This property is a great find. The owner is awesome!!! He is super accommodating, cordial and really within communication seemingly all the time. We wish we would have actually met him he was so cool! NEXT TIME. If you're looking for super deluxe accommodations and all that go with them, then perhaps this isn't your spot...The Delano, Raleigh, Shore Club are right up the street a bit. This worked perfect and was everything we needed and wanted at the time. We have recommended it several times already, and would without a doubt go back just because of the price, location and convenience of it all. We rent apartments worldwide through this site, We are happy to report it's one of our favorites across the board. * The only thing I would say worth noting in the negative column is, the actual entrance to the building can be to some a bit intimidating as it is right near Fat Tuesday's and Wet Willy's; 2 very happening bars that pull in a varied and somewhat sketchy crowds...brought on by copious amounts of liquor, pretty much like a new years eve party; amateur hour...lol This wasn't an issue with us at all, but to some it may be a bit off. Trust me, it's all good their really harmless! GREAT SPOT GREAT LOCATION SCOTT YOU ROCK, and Thank you!!!!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car.

One of our favorite vacation getaways when we've got more time for a beach vacation is the Virgin Islands. This sweet spot reminded us of those vacations, just a LOT closer, and less expensive. The condo is exactly as the owner describes -- the location is incredible, and the unit is nicely cared for and ready for guests. Everything from burgers and margaritas to more elegant fare is a short walk away, and the beach and park is directly across the street. When we did need a cab, it was no problem to step outside and get one within minutes. The owner does a terrific job of communicating prior to the stay, and then checking in to see if everything's okay, or if we needed anything. We didn't -- its really well equipped. If you're looking for quality and an owner who cares, you'll find it here. Enjoy!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for your nice write up. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I do make every effort to communicate prior to your stay and respond promptly to e-mail, txt or calls. I want everyones vacation to be stress free and enjoyable. Hope you can come back to South Beach soon!

Went for a week over New Years: supposedly the coldest Miami has ever had, but for us, that meant perfect beach weather. The condo was a great home away from home: all the amenities we needed and an unbeatable location right off the beach and everything we wanted to do (bike rentals, restaurants, bars, movies) all within walking distance. Having keycodes for the building and apartment was definitely more fun than having keys: literally nothing to take with you if you want to head down to the beach. And while not promised in the listing, it turned out that the building's 4th floor roofdeck overlooking the ocean was also open, and was a great spot for fireworks and people watching.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We spend a lot of vacations in Miami and normally stay in the hotels along Ocean Avenue; unfortunately it becomes very pricey. We found the price of your accommodations very satisfactory, considering the EXCELLENT location. Not only was your price great, we loved the fact of having a full kitchen; oven, dish washer, utensils included. It is difficult to find hotel rooms on Ocean that even have a small kitchenette. We felt very much at home, and were extremely happy to find everything we needed on hand (iron, blow dryer, wine opener, etc). No need to rent a car; it was close to everything we needed. I would definitely recommend anyone who asks "where should I stay when I am in South Beach" to your accommodations. For those who like to drink like myself the bars and clubs (Fat Tuesday's) is 30 seconds away and the beach was across the street 1 minute away. Thanks for helping to make our stay in Miami so enjoyable.Recommended for: Girls getaway, tourists without a car.

This great condo is in the heart of the Art Deco District - and the sand of South Beach is literally outside your door. It's on the hottest block on Ocean Drive, as you are neighbors with Mangos and the Clevelander. The condo is super clean, secure, quiet and well maintained. Scott is an excellent and professional host and you can place your trust in him to make sure that you have everything you need to make your stay in exciting South Beach enjoyable ans safe. This condo is a gem in my book of secrets - Scott, thank you!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

National Cause-Marketing Guidelines
Thank you for your support of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Our organization strives to find mutually beneficial cause-related marketing relationships in support of our mission. We enthusiastically welcome the opportunity to explore and develop new corporate champions. Our Corporate Relations team looks for companies with a solid history and strong brand image who would like to make a contribution that is significant and clearly defined to the consumer. Our goal is to offer a wide variety of opportunities for people to get involved and effectively advance pancreatic cancer research and our signature patient-centered programs.
Our corporate champions provide the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network with an opportunity to reach out to a variety of audiences with important pancreatic cancer information and to raise funds to support pancreatic cancer research, education, and patient support. In addition, cause marketing initiatives provide corporate supporters an opportunity to make a positive impact in the fight against pancreatic cancer and involve employees and consumers in the cause.
Below are some guidelines for corporate champions considering a cause-related marketing relationship with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
Minimum Requirements
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network has established minimum requirements for cause-related marketing relationships:
Logo/Licensed Marks Usage The pancreatic Cancer Action Network owns the registration for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network name, logo, and "Raise the Cure" and "PurpleStride/PurpleRide" names, programs and Licensed Marks. Permission is required for use of any of these Licensed Marks. A party that desires to obtain permission to use these Licensed Marks must execute a written contract with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network that outlines how the Licensed Marks will be used. Until a fully executed License Agreement is received by the organization, use of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network name, logo, or any of its licensed marks is strictly prohibited.
Transparency The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network operates under the Better Business Bureau Standards for Charitable Accountability. These guidelines require clear disclosure to the consumer. In compliance with these guidelines, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network requires full disclosure regarding the benefit to the organization when funds are raised through a consumer purchase or promotion (e.g. $1 from the sale of each item) on all packaging, advertising and promotional materials in clear and unambiguous terms. Your company/organization must be able to comply with this requirement.
Commercial Co-Venture Registration Your organization may be required to register in certain states as a "commercial co-venturer." In its simplest terms, a commercial co-venture is a relationship where an organization promotes a product or service and represents to the public that a portion of the proceeds will benefit a cause. If the product or service is being promoted in a state that requires commercial co-venturer registration, the organization conducting the program/promotion must file certain documents with that state's Attorney General's office (or other state-designated entity). The specific documents that must be filed will vary from state to state, but will generally include a registration statement and a copy of the contract. Although the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network cannot give legal advice to organizations that conduct programs/promotions with us, we do advise them to seek legal counsel to ensure that they comply with these registration requirements.

They make a perfect on-the-go snack; a much healthier alternative to chips or cookies, especially for kids (Great for lunch boxes!)

Commodore 64 Games System
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2007) |
Manufacturer | Commodore International |
Type | Video game console |
Generation | Third generation (8-Bit era) |
Release date | December 1990[1] |
Media | Cartridge |
The Commodore 64 Games System (often abbreviated C64GS) was the cartridge-based game console version of the popular Commodore 64 home computer. It was released by Commodore in December 1990 as a competitor in the booming console market. It was only released in Europe and was a considerable commercial failure.
The C64GS came bundled with a cartridge with four games: Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O'Fun, International Soccer, Flimbo's Quest and Klax.
The C64GS was not Commodore's first gaming system based on the C64 hardware. However, unlike the 1982 MAX Machine (a game-oriented computer based on a very cut-down version of the same hardware family), the C64GS was internally very similar to the "proper" C64 with which it was compatible.
Available software[edit]
Support from games companies was limited, as many were unconvinced that the C64GS would be a success in the console market. Ocean Software was the most supportive, offering a wide range of titles, some C64GS cartridge-based only, offering features in games that would have been impossible on cassette-based games, others straight ports of C64 games. Domark and System 3 also released a number of titles for the system, and conversions of some Codemasters and MicroProse games also appeared. Denton Designs also released some games, among them Bounces, which was released in 1985.
The software bundled with the C64GS, a four-game cartridge containing Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O'Fun, International Soccer, Flimbo's Quest and Klax, were likely the most well-known on the system. These games, with the exception of International Soccer, were previously ordinary tape-based games, but their structure and control systems (no keyboard needed) made them well-suited to the new console. International Soccer was previously released in 1983 on cartridge for the original C64 computer.
Ocean produced a number of games for the C64GS, among them a remake of Double Dragon (which seemed to be more linked to the NES version than the original C64 cassette version), Navy SEALS, Robocop 2, Robocop 3, Chase HQ 2: Special Criminal Investigation, Pang, Battle Command, Toki, Shadow of the Beast and Lemmings. They also produced Batman The Movie for the console, but this was a direct conversion of the cassette game, evidenced by the screens prompting the player to "press PLAY" that briefly appeared between levels. Some of the earliest Ocean cartridges had a manufacturing flaw, where the connector was placed too far back in the cartridge case. The end result was that the cartridge could not be used with the standard C64 computer. Members of Ocean staff had to manually drill holes in the side of the cartridges to make them fit.
System 3 released Last Ninja Remix and Myth: History in the Making, although both were also available on cassette. Domark also offered two titles, Badlands and Cyberball, which were available on cartridge only.
Through publisher The Disc Company a number of Codemasters and MicroProse titles were also reworked and released as compilations for the C64GS. Fun Play featured three Codemasters titles: Fast Food Dizzy, Professional Skateboard Simulator and Professional Tennis Simulator. Power Play featured three MicroProse titles: Rick Dangerous, Stunt Car Racer and MicroProse Soccer, although Rick Dangerous was produced by Core Design, not MicroProse themselves. Stunt Car Racer and MicroProse Soccer needed to be heavily modified to enable them to run on the C64GS.
Uncharacteristically, Commodore never produced or published a single title for the C64GS beyond the bundled four-game cartridge. International Soccer was the only widely available game for the C64GS but had actually been written for the C64.
Hardware-based problems[edit]
The C64GS was plagued with problems from the outset. Firstly, despite the wealth of software already available on cartridge for C64, the lack of a keyboard meant that most could not be used with the console. This meant that people often bought secondhand C64 software on cartridge only to find that the games were not compatible. The C64 version of Terminator 2: Judgment Day was designed for the console, but was included on a cartridge that required the user to press a key to access the game, rendering it unplayable.
To partially counter the lack of a keyboard, the basic control system for the C64GS was a joystick supplied by Cheetah called the Annihilator. This joystick, while using the standard Atari 9-pin plug, offered two independent buttons, with the second button located on the base of the joystick. This 9-pin plug was standard of many systems of the era, and the joysticks were fundamentally compatible with the ZX Spectrum's Kempston Interface and the Sega Master System. The Cheetah Annihilator joystick was poorly built, had a short life, and was not widely available, making replacements difficult to come by.
Primary reasons for failure[edit]
Prior to the console's release, Commodore had generated a great deal of marketing hype to generate interest in an already crowded market. Zzap! 64, a Commodore 64 magazine of the era, reported that Commodore had promised "up to 100 titles before December", even though December was two months from the time of writing. In reality 28 games were produced for the console during its shelf life - most of which were compilations of older titles, and a majority of which were from Ocean. Of those 28 titles, only 9 were cartridge exclusive titles, the remainder being ports of older cassette-based games.
While most of the titles that Ocean announced did appear for the GS (with the notable exception of Operation Thunderbolt), a number of promises from other publishers failed to materialize. Although Thalamus, The Sales Curve, Mirrorsoft and Hewson had expressed an interest, nothing ever materialized from these firms. Similar problems plagued rival company Amstrad when they released their GX4000 console the same year.
There were other reasons attributed to the failure of the C64GS, the major ones being the following:
- Poor software support: Most existing software on cartridge did not function well with the C64GS, and enthusiasm from publishers was low. Ocean Software, Codemasters, System 3, MicroProse and Domark developed titles for the system, but probably only because the games were compatible with the original C64, providing the titles with a commercial safety net in case the C64GS failed. And failure to reprogram the games for use with the cut-back system was another blame for the fault.
- The C64 computer: The C64GS was essentially a cut-back version of the original Commodore 64, and the games developed for it could also be run on the original computer. The C64 was already at an affordable price, and the C64GS was sold for the same. People preferred to keep with the original C64, particularly since the cassette versions of games could often be picked up for a fraction of the cost of the cartridge versions, and did not seem to mind the much longer loading times as much as Commodore had perhaps banked on.
- Obsolete technology: The C64 was introduced in 1982; by 1990 the technology was way past its prime.
- An already saturated console market: The 8-bit C64GS entered the market in 1990 parallel to newer 16-bit consoles such as the Mega Drive and the Super Nintendo. The Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Master System were already dominating the market with more popular titles, and did so until around 1992.
- TV hookup, joystick support and cartridge slots were already found on regular C64 machines. Hence normal C64s were already recognized as "game consoles" despite looking more like a home computer with an integrated keyboard.
Commodore eventually shipped the four-game cartridge and Cheetah Annihilator joysticks in a bundle with standard Commodore 64 computer. Several years later Commodore's next attempt at a games console, the Amiga CD32, encountered many of the same problems although overall it was a lot more successful than the C64GS.
Technical specifications[edit]
The specifications of the C64GS is a subset of those of the C64, the main differences being the leaving out of the unnecessary user port, serial bus port, and tape drive port. These ports are in fact present, the system board being the C64C's board, but simply not exposed at the rear.
Internal hardware[edit]
- Microprocessor CPU:
- MOS Technology 8500 (the 6510/8500 being a modified 6502 with an integrated 6-bit I/O port)
- Clock speed: 0.985 MHz (PAL)
- 64 KB (65,535 bytes).
- 0.5 KB Color RAM
- 20 KB (7 KB KERNAL, 4 KB character generator providing two 2 KB character sets)
The ROM contains two important differences to a standard C64 ROM. The first is that switching on the machine without a cartridge present results in a character-based animation asking the user to insert a cartridge. The second is an additional set of windowing commands, designed to compensate for the lack of a keyboard. However, there is no known software that uses it.
- Video hardware: MOS Technology VIC-II MOS 8569 (PAL)
- 16 colors
- Text mode: 40×25; user-defined characters; smooth scrolling
- Bitmap modes: 320×200, 160×200 (multicolor)
- 8 hardware sprites, 24×21 pixels
- Sound hardware: MOS Technology 8580 "SID"
- 3 voices, ADSR programmable.
- 4 Waveforms: Triangle, Sawtooth, Variable Pulse, Noise
- Oscillator Synchronization, Ring modulation
- Programmable Filter: High Pass, Low Pass, Band Pass, Notch Filter
I/O and power supply[edit]
- I/O ports:
- High-quality Y/C (S-Video) (8-pin DIN plug) with chroma/luma out and sound in + out, used with some Commodore video monitors (DIN-to-phono plug converter delivered with monitor).
- Composite video (one-signal video output to monitor included in aforementioned 8-pin DIN plug, and separate integrated RF modulator antenna output, which also carries sound, to TV on an RCA socket)
- 2 × screwless DE9M game controller ports (Atari 2600 de facto standard, supporting one digital joystick each)
- Cartridge slot (44-pin slot for edge connector with 6510 CPU address/data bus lines and control signals, as well as GND and voltage pins;[2] used for program modules)
- Power supply: 5V DC and 9V AC from external "monolithic power brick", attached to computer's 7-pin female DIN-connector

Wembley Stadium — London
Referee: A. Marriner
Attendance: 86254
We'll wrap it up there. This is one of the most memorable days Wembley has seen in a long while, and surely the biggest FA Cup final shock since Wimbledon's Crazy Gang victory over Liverpool in 1988. Congratulations to Dave Whelan, Roberto Martinez and Wigan. Thanks for joining me - I hope you enjoyed that one as much as I did.
Will Roberto Martinez stay now? "He has to!" says Watson. "If we stay up, we've won the FA Cup, we're in Europe - it doesn't get better than that."
Watson looks overwhelmed as he answers questions from ITV. The best moment of his life? "Other than the birth of my kids, yeah."
What a game - for a match that was 0-0 for a long time, that was gripping. Ben Watson is the hero for Wigan, coming off the bench to score the winning goal. Callum McManaman, still just 22, was brilliant on the right.
FULL-TIME: Manchester City 0-1 Wigan
90′ +5
90′ +4
City throw the ball into the box but Aguero can't get a shot away and Wigan clear. Clichy tries again, and Dzeko heads it down, but Espinoza clears and that's it!
90′ +3
Yellow Card Joel
90′ +3
That's 93 minutes. Wigan are holding out as every blue shirt heads forward.
90′ +2
Substitution Gareth Barry Edin Dzeko
90′ +2
There have been three minutes added on, but you expect we'll see more than that given the Wigan goal.
90′ +1
Assist Shaun Maloney
90′ +1
Goal Ben Watson
GOAL! WATSON SCORES IN ADDED TIME! After McManaman had again beaten Clichy to win a corner on the right, Maloney's corner to the near post was headed beyond Hart by the midfielder. Wigan are on the verge of the biggest FA Cup shock in a long, long time!
GOAL! WATSON SCORES IN ADDED TIME! After McManaman had again beaten Clichy to win a corner on the right, Maloney's corner to the near post was headed beyond Hart by the midfielder. Wigan are on the verge of the biggest FA Cup shock in a long, long time!
Maloney stands over it again but it's Watson who steps up this time, and the midfielder can only hit the wall.
Yellow Card Gareth Barry
Wigan are looking to dictate proceedings now, and Barry is booked for a late sliding tackle on Maloney. The free-kick is about 30 yards from goal, just to the right of the centre spot.
Maloney strikes the resulting free-kick from some distance, but Hart always has it covered and watches it sail just over the bar.
Yellow/Red Pablo Zabaleta
RED CARD ZABALETA! The City right-back is off for a second booking, and again McManaman is the man drawing the foul! Having been booked for cynically holding back the winger, there is no question the Argentine deserves to go for his second challenge in a similar area of the pitch. He flies in with a late sliding tackle and gets nowhere near the ball. What a boost for Wigan!
Yaya Toure is playing a bigger part now and finds Clichy on the left, but again the Frenchman can't make anything with his cross.
Substitution Jordi Gómez Ben Watson
Wigan make their first change - Ben Watson comes on in midfield for Gomez.
Yaya Toure's low shot from outside the box deflects wide and out for a corner, but Milner's delivery is caught by Joel.
City are on the front foot but Wigan have a great chance to counterattack when Espinoza wins the ball. With several players nearby, though, the wing-back chooses to go long to a stranded Maloney and Kompany easily cleans up. What a waste.
Wayne Veysey reports from Wembley: "The heavens have opened here, but there is no immediate sign of the floodgates opening on the pitch. City are controling possession, with Wigan content to play on the counterattack, but neither defence is being stretched too far."
Maloney hits the bar! I'm not sure it's what he intended, but the winger's delivery dips towards the far top corner of the goal and bounces off the woodwork and out. I think that was closer than Hart thought.
Yellow Card Matija Nastasic
McManaman just keeps going on the right, and this time draws a foul from Nastasic as he knocked the ball into the box. The Serbian is booked, and Maloney will cross this free-kick in.
The early signs suggest Roberto Mancini's changes are paying off. Yaya Toure and Silva combine menacingly to the right of goal, but Alcaraz does well to break the play up.
City win a free-kick in the right channel and Milner's delivery finds Rodwell, but the midfielder's header is straight at Joel.
A nice piece of skill from Rodwell keeps City moving down the left after McArthur coughs up possession, but Clichy's cross towards Yaya Toure is headed away.
Substitution Carlos Tévez Jack Rodwell
Tevez did not look totally delighted to be making way, but it hasn't really worked for City in the past quarter of an hour or so. After a decent start to his half, they've struggled for chances.
Jack Rodwell will be the next man on for City. It looks as if Tevez will come off, with Yaya Toure moving forward.
Kompany has saved a certain goal there! This is McManaman at his best - after one cross had evaded Kone at the back post, the winger has another go and this time dances towards goal himself. As he shapes up to shoot, though, the Belgian captain comes flying across to make a block equally as good as Joel's on Tevez in the first half. That was goalbound.
Another decent move from Wigan, playing off Kone as the central striker, just outside the City box but Gomez's eventual shot from distance goes over the crossbar.
Gomez is penalised for a high boot on Tevez - the Argentine was lucky not to get a kick in the face - but Silva's free-kick from the right is too long for Kompany at the back post.
Now this match is heating up a little bit. Milner slips a pass into Zabaleta, who fizzes a low cross through the six-yard box, but it just rolls beyond Silva at the back post.
Yellow Card Pablo Zabaleta
A replay of that penalty incident shows Andre Marriner might have been on the money again - Scharner fell, but did not seem to interfere much with Aguero as he went down. The striker was also offside. Zabaleta sees yellow for holding back McManaman as the winger broke forward.
There's another big penalty shout, and this time it's for City! Tevez and Silva combine on the break and the latter looks to slip a through ball into the path of Aguero. Scharner stumbles and seems to bring the Argentine down and Joel collects, but Andre Marriner is unmoved.
City have tightened their grip on this game since half-time, but Wigan construct their best move of the second period to earn a corner on the right. They play it short, though, and are forced all the way back to their own halfway line before lofting a hopeful ball towards goal that comes to nothing.
Substitution Samir Nasri James Milner
Silva floats a cross in from a central position to Joel's right post and Tevez lines up an overhead kick... but misses the ball entirely. Nasri will come off for Milner, who receives a big cheer.
James Milner is coming on for City. On the pitch, Maloney is furious to be penalised for a foul on Barry as he looked to spring a counterattack, but he did appear to clip the midfielder.
Silva sends in a corner from the right which Joel comes for but doesn't get to, and it deflects off a couple of bodies over the crossbar. Kompany looks disappointed not to have got more contact on that, but it's a goal-kick despite the apparent deflections off Wigan heads and shoulders.
Aguero goes close! Tevez steals the ball off Kone in the Wigan half and breezes past Scharner on the right before sending a cross to the near post, but Boyce makes a vital sliding challenge to deny Aguero.
Tevez finds some rare space to run in in front of the Wigan defence and sends a pass left to Nasri, but the Frenchman's left-footed cross-cum-shot flies over the bar. Wasteful.
Espinoza is again involved from the off on the left as Wigan work the ball from the wing-back across to McCarthy. He lines up a shot from 25 yards, but sends it several yards wide.
We're back underway at Wembley.
The players are ready to return to a pitch which is now enjoying a few slithers of sunlight.
There's some suggesting Zabaleta is lucky not to have conceded a penalty for his challenge on Espinoza midway through that half. It looked a blatant dive to me, but there you go.
The balance of chances has been fairly even - City had the best opening when Tevez was denied brilliantly by Joel, but Wigan have had good sights of goal too, most notably through, on two occasions, the very bright McManaman. The Latics have reverted to their previously favoured 3-4-3 and it's paid off.
Wayne Veysey reports from Wembley: "A subdued opening period ends with Wigan taking the moral high ground after Man City's early dominance quickly petered out. Roberto Martinez's team look capable of causing an upset but you still fear for them if City score the first goal. If ever a cup final needed a goal, it is this one."
This match hasn't quite sparked into life yet but there's certainly been some interesting moments, and Roberto Mancini in particular has plenty to think about at half-time. Wigan look organised and purposeful, if lacking a bit of quality in the final third at times, and they have certainly not looked overwhelmed by the stage or the quality of their opponents so far.
45′ +1
HALF-TIME: Manchester City 0-0 Wigan
It's all too slow, with too many touches, for City but Nasri injects some pace into their attack by bursting away from his marker and rifling a shot at goal. It's a comfortable height for Joel, though, and he palms away.
City continue to probe, but they're not having too much joy. Yaya Toure tries to chip a pass behind the defence for Clichy, but the left-back is offside.
CITY CHANCE! Tevez slides a pass into Zabaleta, who shapes up to shoot from 10 yards, but Alcaraz makes a vital challenge. The ball riccochets to Barry, who has an even better opportunity to the right of goal - but his effort is poorly struck and Joel catches comfortably.
City attack down the left, and Nasri wriggles into enough space to chip a cross that Silva heads across goal but off target. We've seen a replay of the penalty shout, and Andre Marriner was correct to ignore the appeals - Espinoza dives under very little contact from Zabaleta.
Another huge opportunity for Wigan! McManaman gets behind the City defence but Hart races off his line to delay him to the left of goal. McManaman cuts back across the box with Hart stranded, but can't find room to shoot even after turning Nastasic and when he does get an effort away Zabaleta blocks.
There's a big penalty shout for Wigan! Espinoza broke into the box to latch on to a through ball and was challenged by Zabaleta before going down. That looked a convincing appeal...
Silva finds Tevez through the centre of the pitch and he turns to play a similar pass to Aguero. As soon as the striker gets a touch, though, he has Scharner for company and can't turn past the Austrian.
City look as if they might build on that chance now. It's been a pretty muted atmosphere at Wembley so far.
SUPERB SAVE BY JOEL! This is City's best chance of the game as Nasri cuts inside from the left and slides a pass into Silva. His cut-back is deflected into the path of Tevez but Joel flies across to save the Argentine's shot with his toe. Tevez tried to go back across goal but the goalkeeper got the slightest of touches as he dived in the opposite direction.
McArthur - who is in a right wing-back position - bombs forward and exchanges passes successfully with Kone, but Barry slides in to make an important challenge and deny the Scot a route to goal.
Wigan have everyone besides Kone behind the ball when City are in possession, and Roberto Mancini's team are struggling to break them down. Roberto Martinez will certainly be the more satisfied of the two managers so far.
Nastasic lines up a long-range effort but it lacks power and trickles wide of the target.
Espinoza has supported the attack well from left-back as Maloney has cut inside, and is involved again in a move with Gomez down the flank. The Honduran threads a pass right to Maloney, but his 25-yard shot dips just wide of the post. Hart had it covered.
Silva has been central to everything City have done going forward, as is usually the case, and his weakly struck low shot is nearly redirected by Aguero before reaching Joel. Hard to tell whether that was a shot or a pass.
Greg Stobart reports from Wembley: "Both of the Robertos are stalking the touchline here at Wembley as this final starts to come to life. Wigan, roared on by their fans to our left, have settled down after a nervous start and have had the best chance of the game so far through Callum McManaman."
McCarthy beats Kompany to a ball to send Kone forward, but the Ivorian's shot is blocked. Gomez then tries to release McManaman on the opposite side of the pitch, but his pass is too long.
Slightly unsettled perhaps, City finally mount a sustained attack but it's too easy for Wigan to get men behind the ball. There's a question as to whether Nastasic may have handballed to block Maloney's volley a moment ago - the replay shows it hit both chest and arm. It's a close one.
Espinoza fizzes a waist-height cross into the box and Maloney attempts to meet it on the volley, but his effort is blocked and was probably heading wide anyway.
More lovely play from Wigan, with McManaman and Maloney at the centre of things. Espinoza heads down a crossfield pass for Kone and takes the return ball but can't quite keep control of the ball to turn towards goal. Wigan eventually win a corner on the right, but Scharner heads over.
Gomez's delivery is poor, and evades everyone. Disappointing, but Roberto Martinez will be very content so far.
Wigan are well in the game now and City have conceded a couple of fouls, the latest by Zabaleta on Espinoza. Gomez will curl this free-kick in from the left.
City respond straight away, with Silva releasing Zabaleta again into the box, but Joel is out quickly to block and the flag is up for offside.
WIGAN CHANCE! McManaman counterattacks after some good defending by the Latics and spreads the ball to Kone on the left. Kone returns the favour with a superb pass into the penalty area, but after cutting inside to shake off Nastasic, McManaman fires wide on his left foot. Big opportunity.
McManaman steps inside Clichy a couple of times, but can't pick a pass on either occasion. This is more encouraging for Wigan, though, as they gradually grow into the game.
Roberto Mancini's name rings around Wembley again. The City fans' feelings on a change of manager this summer have been made pretty clear.
Tevez's free-kick hits the wall but Yaya Toure connects well with the rebound, and Joel needs to palm his volley away. Aguero follows up to the right of goal, but he's offside.
Aguero looks to tear inside to the left of goal and is brought down by Boyce. Tevez and Yaya Toure stand over the free-kick from 25 yards out.
City establish control of the ball immediately, and Silva's pass for Aguero misses its target but runs through to Zabaleta. His cross is deflected back to the Spaniard, but McCarthy blocks well.
The Latics kick us off and the 2013 FA Cup final is underway.
Gary Caldwell does not start for Wigan today, so Emmerson Boyce wears the armband and exchanges a handshake and pennants with Vincent Kompany. Wigan break from their huddle, and here we go!
STAT ATTACK: An Ivorian has scored in the last four FA Cup finals. Yaya Toure and Arouna Kone are representing the African nation today.
Wayne Veysey reports from Wembley: "A chorus of 'Mancini, Mancini' reverberates around Wembley, as the Man City fans throw themselves fully behind their manager, who is increasingly likely to be out of a job by the end of the season."
Amore's work is not done - they belt out the national anthems and the two teams shake hands. We're moments away from kick-off now.
And out they come. Today's guest of honour is David Clarke, the prolific goalscorer for Great Britain's blind football team. Andre Marriner is the referee.
Amore, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, sing Abide With Me as is tradition before the FA Cup final. Wembley is awash with the royal blue and sky blue flags handed out to each set of supporters. The players are in the tunnel.
Dave Whelan will lead Wigan out at Wembley today more than 18 years after he took over the Latics in what is now League Two. It's been some ride for the 76-year-old but he might never have faced three matches as big as those which his team will conclude the season with; after today's game at Wembley, they will prepare for two fixtures which will decide their Premier League survival.
Roberto Mancini and Khaldoon Al-Mubarak are stood side-by-side on the Wembley touchline. There's not a great deal of conversation going on between the two of them. Mancini, speaking to ITV, believes second place and the FA Cup would represent a good season but I'm not sure the Emirati chairman would agree.
WIGAN: Joel; Boyce, Scharner, Alcaraz, Espinoza; McCarthy, McArthur, Gomez; McManaman, Kone, Maloney. Subs: Al-Habsi, Caldwell, Watson, Di Santo, Henriquez, Fyvie, Golobart.
MANCHESTER CITY: Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy; Yaya Toure, Barry; Silva, Tevez, Nasri; Aguero. Subs: Pantilimon, Garcia, Rodwell, Milner, Dzeko, Kolarov, Lescott.
To take your mind off the shock of it all, here are the teams...
Quite ridiculously, given that two teams from the North West contest this final, we kick off at 17.15 this afternoon and, to unsettle us even further, we still have two whole rounds of Premier League fixtures still to play before the end of the season. The sun isn't even shining!
758 teams entered the 2012-13 FA Cup; only two remain. Either Manchester City or Wigan Athletic will have been crowned winners of the oldest and greatest cup competition in world football by the end of the day, and kick-off is only half an hour away. I'm Oliver Platt and I'll be guiding you through the 132nd FA Cup final over the next couple of hours.

Another Day, Another Star Wars Alphabet
Note: Jabba-sized version RIGHT HERE.
We've seen the Star Wars alphabet in children's ABC book form before, but this one, THIS ONE -- this one is all "BUH-BWAM! -- look at me, all on one page you tubby Tusken Fridge Raiders!" Rude this alphabet is being rude. Can you name them all? I couldn't. And you know why? BECAUSE STARS WARS SUCKS.

You can ensure many years of enjoyment and relaxation from your Hot Spring® spa with just a little bit of regular maintenance. Here are a few useful tips:
To clean the spa shell, use a mild non-abrasive, non-sudsing cleaner and a soft rag or nylon scrubber to remove dirt build-up. Common baking soda can also be used for minor surface cleaning. After cleaning and drying your spa shell, apply FreshWater Spa Shine to keep your spa looking new. Also, the spa pillows can be removed and cleaned by following the instructions in your Owner's Manual. The hot tub vinyl cover is best cleaned and conditioned by following this step-by-step method: first, remove the cover and spray it lightly with a garden hose to loosen any dirt or debris that might have accumulated. Using a mild soap solution (1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid with 2 gallons water) or baking soda, scrub the vinyl in a circular motion with a large sponge. Promptly rinse with a garden hose. Rinse the bottom of the cover (do not use soap), and wipe it clean with a dry rag. To condition the cover after cleaning, apply a thin film of Hot Spring Cover Shield™ product.
HELPFUL HINT: Showering without soap prior to entering the spa, and using only the rinse cycle when laundering your bathing suit, will help avoid detergent and soap residue in the spa water.
Cleaning your filter cartridges is simple. As with any water filtration system, your spa filter cartridges can become clogged with mineral particles or calcification from hard water, which may result in reduced water flow. We recommend that you clean your filter cartridges every month. Using a garden hose, spray each cartridge and rotate while spraying to thoroughly remove any debris lodged between the filter pleats. Use either FreshWater® Instant Filter Cleaner or FreshWater® Filter Cleaner to keep your filters clean and in good operating condition. Keep in mind that your filters should be replaced every three years with genuine Watkins replacement filters.
Remember to drain your spa water and refill according to the instructions outlined in your Owner's Manual to eliminate detergent residue from bathing suits and soap film which may have accumulated in the spa water.
For fresh, clean water right from the start, we recommend using the CleanScreenTM; Pre-Filter when filling your spa. This filter attaches to an ordinary garden hose and removes organic contaminants, metals (such as copper and iron), and tannins before they are introduced into the spa water.
Your Hot Spring spa has been designed for year-round use in any climate. Here are some steps you may want to take this time of year to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
If you live in an area which has freezing temperatures, you should purchase a Winter Blanket which is available at your local Hot Spring spa dealer. This vinyl-covered, fiberglass insulated blanket, which installs inside the equipment compartment door, provides an additional precaution against partial freezing of some of the components and maximizes the spa's energy efficiency.
Also, make sure your cover is at peak performance level. Check for signs of wear and tear-make sure the seal is still tight and intact so heat doesn't escape. If you see signs of sagging, fading or cracking, it's time for a replacement. Be sure to remove snow from the spa cover before large amounts accumulate. Condensation might occur around the cover locks which could create ice build up to remove, splash with warm water; don't try to pry the ice off.
If you are going away for a few days during the winter months, remember these tips:
If you are planning to be away from home a week or longer, call your local dealer for more tips on winterizing your spa, or refer to the Owner's Manual for additional instructions.
Sanitizer is extremely important for killing algae, bacteria and other unwanted impurities in your spa water. While it is important to maintain the sanitizer levels, you do not want too much, because it can irritate your skin, lungs and eyes.

The Cleveland Cavaliers suspended centre Andrew Bynum indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team, the Cavs announced Saturday.
Bynum did not travel with the team to Boston for Saturday's game against the Celtics. He was excused from all team activities indefinitely.
The Cavaliers said they will update his status at a later time.
"We've got 14 guys in that locker room that are very focused and determined and ready to take on any challenge that's in front of them," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. "They're great guys, they're focused guys and they know how to play the game the right way. That's what I'm focused on, just helping those guys win ballgames."
Point guard Kyrie Irving said, "It's just a terrible situation internally with our team. It's just something we have to get over.
"We need him out there. He's a dominant force for our team. It's hard. You lose a teammate, but with this situation it gives everyone else a chance to step up. That's kind of how we look at it.
"He's going to be missed, but we've still got to win games. That's what it's all about."
ESPN.com reported that the Cavaliers will look into trading Bynum. The centre wants to be dealt to the Miami Heat or Los Angeles Clippers, according to multiple reports.
The team has until Jan. 7 to decide on guaranteeing his contract for the rest of the season. Bynum signed a two-year, $24 million deal in the summer but only $6 million is guaranteed.
Bynum missed all of last season with knee injuries but this season he is averaging 8.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in playing each of the first 24 games.
"I think Bynum is a really good player, but when I've watched them, they've been better without him on the court in a lot of cases," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. "That doesn't mean they haven't been good with him on the court in a lot of cases, and it's certainly nothing against him, but what it does is it impacts their defense in a way where they're a little bit more aggressive with a guy like (Anderson) Varejao."

News and Member Announcements
The Texas Municipal Clerks Association's May 2014 Election Law Calendar is now available online.
On October 31, 2013, the Texas Water Development Board began soliciting projects for the Clean Water (and Drinking Water) State Revolving Fund programs.
A handful of cities have adopted ordinances regulating "payday and title" lenders. If your city is considering doing so, visit the League's Payday Lending Clearinghouse pages, which contain an example ordinance and details about all of the pending lawsuits against cities, as well as other useful information.
It is important that your city's voice is heard in the regional water planning process.

Diana Puertas: Lea Salonga. She's my biggest musical theatre role model. I was 11 years old when I first heard her sing "A Whole New World" when she was Jasmine's singing voice. I would love to hear everything she's ever done live. Everything from Les Misérables all the way down to her Disney appearances.
Lea Salonga is a Tony Award winner for her performance in Miss Saigon. She has also been seen on Broadway in Les Misérables and Flower Drum Song. She voiced the role of Princess Jasmine in Disney's "Aladdin," in which she sings "A Whole New World."

The Buell XB9SX is an oddity. What you get is an old-school v-twin in a high-tech chassis, all wrapped up in a mad-max style urban scrambler. On paper it makes very little sense – a modern naked middleweight out-performs it in every practical way. But it looks great, sounds mean and the handling is sublime. It would be a hard ...

BMW's R1150GS is heavy, pricey and relatively slow. It's also an expensive, imperfectly finished motorcycle and the engine design is something Noah would recognise. On the flip-side the BMW R1150GS handles brilliantly, will run forever and will cheerfully see over 200 miles from the motorcycle's tank.

Even among females who have full-mutation FMR1 genes, only about one-third have an IQ in the mental retardation range. 6 Females with Fragile X are more likely to have relatively normal cognitive development, or they may show a learning disability where their academic achievement in some areas is lower than their overall ability to learn. For example, a female with a learning disability in math might score several grades below her grade level in math, even though her IQ is within the normal range.
Many factors influence intelligence, and, like most individuals, people with Fragile X have areas of both strength and weakness. For example, people with Fragile X tend to have good memories for pictures and visual patterns. This ability helps them to learn to recognize letters and words. They are also generally able to follow instructions that are presented as pictures. Their main weaknesses are in thinking about abstract ideas, organizing information, planning ahead, and solving problems.
No matter what their IQ or areas of intelligence, all children and adults with Fragile X are capable of learning. Most children will progress in school and develop basic academic skills. Many adults can learn to take care of themselves and work at a job. People with Fragile X may need more time to learn, special teaching methods, or a specially tailored environment (see the Suggestions for working with individuals with Fragile X box), but they usually can and do make steady progress.

The gauge at Sea-Tac Airport has gone to the end of August without a drop rain. And the National Weather Service says if it stays that way through Friday as expected, it'll break the record of .01 inches of precipitation, which has happened just three times since 1891.
The current dry spell could challenge the 51-day record set in 1951. The last rain at the airport was .04 inches on July 22. That's 40 days and counting.
Weather service meteorologist Allen Kam says there's no more reason for the dry August than there was for the wet June.
He says it's just how things go, "Streaks happen."

SANGEA is an emissions estimation software based on the API compendium of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimation methodologies of the oil and gas industry. SANGEA is designed to allow consistent GHG reporting with the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA), International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (OGP) and API. SANGEA provides a reliable, efficient, cost effective, comparable method for reporting GHG emissions that can be used by oil and gas companies anywhere in the world. To learn more about or to download SANGEA, please click here.
API has been tasked by the Safety & Fire Protection Subcommittee to create a new system to measure the effectiveness of workplace safety in a consistent manner throughout the petroleum industry. This is an effort to develop guidance to measure the effectiveness of a company's overall safety programs by establishing a set of metrics that will help monitor trends that can lead to improvements in the program. Our goal is zero safety incidents in the petroleum industry. The Statistical Services group will create a client-based software that will maintain all safety incidents data and metrics; and provide support tools to report leading and lagging indicators to assist in the prevention of future incidents. Contact Hazem Arafa at firstname.lastname@example.com.
API has joined forces with Flow-Cal Inc. to develop, market, and support the Chapter 11.1 Code (Temperature and Pressure Volume Correction Factors for Generalized Crude Oils, Refined Products, Special Applications, and Lubricating Oils). This information is available in equations relating volume to pressure which contains physical data that has direct application to volumetric measurements of liquid hydrocarbon. Visit the Flow-Cal Inc. web site.
This is an effort by the Pipeline segment to collect very detailed information about every pipeline incident since 1999. The Statistical Services group created a client-based software that is dynamically linked to API through the Internet to collect the data. The Statistical Services group maintains the software and handles technical support for the effort. Contact Hazem Arafa at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Statistical Services group also created the online survey and database needed for the data collection in this effort. Companies can enter their safety data and can benchmark their operations – by sector and for selected companies – in real time. Access to the OII web site is restricted to participants. Contact Pamela Gibson at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Criminal Justice
Pennsylvania Deputy AG Charged with Abuse of Adopted Ethiopian Children
Posted Oct 5, 2012 9:20 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A deputy attorney general in Pennsylvania and his wife have been charged with abuse and neglect of two children adopted from Ethiopia earlier this year.
Douglas Barbour, 33, has been suspended without pay from his job with the attorney general's office pending resolution of the charges, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Barbour and his wife, 30-year-old Kristen Barbour, are charged with assault and endangerment of their 6-year-old son and 18-month-old daughter.
The Barbours were charged after hospital officials reported that the girl appeared to be the victim of physical child abuse, including head trauma, the story says. Kristen Barbour told hospital officials that the girl has a history of banging her head.
The boy had skin lesions that may have been caused by contact with urine, doctors said. He allegedly told hospital personnel that his parents made him stand or eat dinner in the bathroom when he soiled his pants. He was losing weight at home but ate voraciously at the hospital, hospital staffers told police.
