As the title says, if you want a custom forum rank (i.e. instead of "Nerd" you can request to be something else, for example), post your request here. If the request is appropriate, I will give you the custom rank. If it is not, I will have my minions eat your eyeballs. (Just kidding.)
Update: New rule – you need atleast 50 posts on the forums to request a custom
February 25, 2010
Oh thanks, BOSS.
The term Newbiee is, IMHO, more appropriate for those tagged "I am new
around here" don't you think?
I am desirous of shaking the NERD tag and, having in the past seen/used the term Guru in reference to your goodself, am thinking of keeping some similar monastical connotation e.g. Disciple or Novice.
Unless someone can come up with something better, I would be happier with either one of those – the decision though is yours.
Thanks for the consideration. LOL.

Hey! I'm "Old Fart #2" now! And Locutus got his "Guru" ranking!
That was a cool surprise. Altho I think I'll want the Grand Master rank when I reach that number of posts. I think.
And hey, I just noticed, Karen is now an Admin!
Wow, it's turned into a day of big changes on dotTech!
Thanks Ashraf.

I didn't realize I'd made the Grand Master level. Guess that shows how often I look at the ranking.
Would it be possible to have "Grand Master/Old Fart" ?
If not that's ok, but I guess I'd kinda like the Grand Master ranking more.
Geesh, I sound so petty I'm making me sick…
Either way, thanks Ashraf for being so accommodating to your members. You sure don't have to do this kind of stuff.
September 27, 2009
Hey Ashraf i have only just achieved Nerd Ranking (WOOhoo) but am still aspiring to grand master.
Any chance that instead i can have "Young Dude"
Thats pretty much all i want nothin special just because i have been around for quite a while now it's just that i don't post a lot.
If i could get then above tag^^ that would be perfect.
BTW: Its just so people stop thinking i'm a middle aged dude instead. I'm 15 people, i know just as much as you guys………sort of……..

@Conn09: 15?! Wow… Was I off on my thinking. Lol.
As for knowing stuff, I'd bet you probably know more than I do about computers. Altho I'm getting better at faking it.
February 25, 2010
This humble Disciple thanks Mr. BOSS for bestowing me the "new"title.
Congrats to the new Admin, Karen. (Phoenix deserves a chocolate waffle or something for services rendered in connection. )
To Old Fart #2, Wheezer, seems you need to clean those reading glasses and dust off the abacus to keep tally on your Grand Master count. Or is it that you have too much smoke in your eyes – if so, get rid of the minkey.
Not sure if Locutus is human enough to be a Guru… LOL

Just want to "bump" this back into the Recent Forum Posts list. A few people have been asking in other threads, which isn't bad, but it might be easier for Ashraf if folks ask in this thread.
Have a great day, or night, wherever you are!

Very true. Admin's seem to be missing this "duty" as they, no doubt, could easily re-direct such queries.
Problem maybe keeping a thread link (as Karen found out recently) so the poster could more easily find where it went.
As this is a recurring theme, maybe Mr.BOSS could add a button next to FORUMS at top of page or provide some other permanent visible means for getting here quickly.

BROWNSBURG — As the Brownsburg Education Foundation (BEF) reminisces about 25 years gone by, members are also looking back on a 2012 that may have exceeded any other year, which means more grants for teachers and more scholarships for students through various fundraising efforts.
"This year reinforced more than ever that we truly, as a community, Enhance Education Together. That's our motto," said Diane Brown, president of the BEF. "But for us, in this anniversary year, that has shown to be how we can truly make an impact. We had community businesses step up to sponsor our inaugural gala so all the proceeds raised that evening went to classroom grants and student scholarships. We had new sponsors pledging at all different levels for all of our events and returning sponsors step up in their giving. We had new volunteers who contacted us as a result of our newsletter.
"In 2012 we named our gala the All in for Education Gala to represent the community coming together, being 'all in' to support and celebrate education in our community. Truthfully, not only did we see that the evening of the gala, we've seen that happen all year long. The community passion and involvement with our foundation's mission this year has been outstanding. It has been a wonderful way to honor the legacy of our founders."
The Drive One 4 Ur School program saw record success and the Yankee Candle fundraiser that is just wrapping up has been so helpful to the company that they this year even created special Brownsburg Bulldogs candles as a thank you to the BEF for making that their yearly highest fundraiser.
Through these and more events, like the support of the Kiwanis Club, a boot camp event that donated $5 for every registration to the BEF, and more, they were able to show a steady increase in giving from 2011, both individually and from a corporate perspective, as well as grow the endowment in 2012.
"We had several sponsors come together for the Drive One event and we were not only able to increase what we raised, but more than double the impact of the Bill Estes event because we had people pledging a dollar per drive and that enabled to help us raise $50 per drive instead of $25," Brown said.
"Thanks to BEF grants, students have been given access to educationally-relevant technology that is useful in supporting and augmenting their learning. Additionally, grant money has been used to provide incentives for students in order to encourage them to meet and exceed their teachers' goals for their learning," explained Aimee Harvey, secondary English department head for the Brownsburg Community School corporation of how the BEF's offerings are used beneficially.
"It is obvious that although the teachers are the ones who apply for BEF grants, the students are the beneficiaries of the foundation's financial support of these initiatives."
Some of the grants go to the ever changing technology landscape.
"The Brownsburg Education Foundation has been generous in awarding grants to the Life Skills Program at Brown Elementary School," said Cynthia Winings, speech pathologist. "Over several years, funds have been provided to purchase four iPads, including the communication application Proloquo2Go. This communication application offers children with limited speech and language skills to make requests and answer questions throughout the school day. Since the iPad is so portable, the children have been able to take it on field trips to order food and to identify vocabulary pertaining to the outing. The staff and students are so grateful for the generosity of the Brownsburg Education Foundation and the opportunities it has provided for our children to express themselves with a voice at school as well as in the community."
Rene Behrend has lived both sides of the BEF, first as a teacher and a parent and now as the group's executive assistant as of this past September. She said she's seen the gains from both ends of the spectrum.
"I've taken the last 17 years off to raise a family, so I think it's great the way the foundation supports teachers and the students and adds to the programs and already wonderful education that the kids get," Behrend said.
But 25 years of success doesn't allow the group to rest on its laurels. Its 25th anniversary gala earlier this year was a huge success, both at the event and beyond, and the creation of the 1987 club which honors the beginnings of the foundation saw some of the benefits and allows those who want to contribute to do so at three levels.
"It starts off at $19.87, so if someone wants to start at a low level, they can," said Brown, who noted that every dollar pledged helps.
Other levels for the club are $198.70, or $1,987.
"We hope that the 1987 club not only honors our past, but also gives individuals a way to make a difference for the future, considering it as an individual option," Brown said. "I think our takeaway is to continue to talk about and share with people the impact that we are able to make in our schools for the students and teachers and that just a little investment on their part can make a big difference and that has been evident.
Next year's gala is scheduled for March. Though it's still in the planning stages, Behrend said she's looking forward to it.
"The first event that I did was the Drive One event, and that was a lot of fun to be out with a lot of community members," she said. "Members and the school corporation employees really got behind that event, so it was fun."
The All in for Education Gala 2013 is scheduled for March 15 at Don Schumacher Racing in Brownsburg.

As consumers plug into how and where their food is produced, organic foods have grown in popularity around the world. From 2000 to 2009, U.S. sales of organic foods and beverages jumped from $6 billion to $22 billion, according to Nutrition Business Journal estimates.
To be certified organic, foods and beverages must comply with a set of rules overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program. These rules, which were rolled out in 2001, were created to support anagricultural and production system that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Organically produced foods must be produced without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones, genetic engineering sewage sludge and irradiation. Organic meat, poultry, eggs and dairy must come from animals that are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic foods are also minimally processed without artificial ingredients, preservatives or irradiation.
Products labeled "100% Organic" or that carry the "USDA Organic" seal contain all organically produced ingredients. Products that are made from at least 95% organic ingredients and have remaining ingredients that are approved for use in organic products may also carry the USDA Organic logo. Products that contain at least 70% organic ingredients may label those on the ingredient listing but are not allowed to carry the USDA Organic seal.
Organic certification covers more than just foods and beverages. Personal care products (such as shampoos or lotions), textiles and household cleaners can also be made with organic ingredients.

AIA at Family Science Days
February 21, 2013
Last weekend, the AIA participated in Family Science Days at Hynes Convention Center in Boston. Family Science Days were held as part of the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting. The two-day event gave kids interested in the sciences an opportunity to explore hands-on demonstrations and interactive exhibits in a number of fields, including archaeology. Despite snow on both days, almost 4,000 people attended the event!
The AIA booth encouraged children to explore archaeology through three different activities. One exercise taught kids about the importance of context by explaining what context was and then showing a series of artifacts with and without context. Kids quickly learned how context enables archaeologists to tell a more complete story and better determine how objects were used. Another activity dealing with stratigraphy depicted the layers of an archaeological site allowed kids to properly arrange Velcro artifacts chronologically. The third activity allowed kids reassemble broken pottery sherds into a vessel—a task that several budding archaeologists took quite seriously! All activities demonstrated several fun aspects of archaeology.
In advance of the 2015 Working Conference for Educators, the AIA is soliciting one-page descriptions of existing archaeological outreach and education programs.
The AIA-Rochester Society won the 2013-2014 Best AIA Local Society Program online contest.
The AIA-Milwaukee Society and the Milwaukee Public Museum co-hosted the 5th Annual Milwaukee Archaeology Fair March 7-8.
Fair presenters interacted with nearly 5500 people over the AIA's two-day event.
Thank you to all our presenters, volunteers, and attendees for making the fair such a wonderful event!

Four intense piss scenes featuring nine thirsty, wet pigs. Juan, a cute Latino kid, drinks up nasty Chris Neal's flow before sitting on that famous big, tattooed dick. Juan's round rump takes cock like a champ and gets an ass full of cum for his reward. Gay-for-pay Aidyn Michael has what seems to be a never ending stream of piss for muscleman Maximo De Leon. Maximo drinks and drinks his fill before orally servicing Aidyn's fat cock. Maximo's asshole can hardly take Aidyn once the fucking starts. But he manages to open up and take it all, including more piss. Tony London starts on his knees in front of two hairy-chested studs: Tony Serrano and Lito Cruz. He sucks and drinks and then gets rough fucked by both the tops while he sucks cock and eats ass. Piss is everywhere.

It was a quiet day for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White. He had just two catches for 21 yards and no touchdowns in Atlanta's win over the Carolina Panthers. It was White's worst outing of the season. Atlanta put most of the load on running back Michael Turner.
White was averaging 70 receiving yards a game with 352 receiving yards on the season and two touchdowns through his first five games of the 2011 NFL season. White's receiving yards per game is down nearly 15 yards per game.
White was ranked by Yahoo! as the 8th ranked wide receiver heading into Week 6 taking on the Carolina Panthers who rank 15th against the pass.

Authorities say a northwest suburban Mount Prospect man stabbed his brother with a steak knife before ramming his vehicle into his brother's vehicle while his wounded brother was inside, attempting to call police.
Robert Jastrebski, 55, faces a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, the Sun-Times reports. His bond was set at $100,000 Sunday.
Authorities say police were called to Jastrebski's home Saturday by his brother, who said Jastrebski stabbed him twice in the abdomen with a steak knife.
The injured man got into his vehicle and dialed the police, while Jastrebski backed his vehicle into his brother's before fleeing the scene, authorities said.
Authorities caught up with Jastrebski, who eventually admitted he stabbed his brother. Prosecutors would not say what motivated the attack.

NFC East Spin cycle: Redskins claim first division title since 1999
The Redskins are in the playoffs and everyone else is home for the rest of the holidays. Surprised? So are we.
Rookies propel Redskins to NFC East title
Robert Griffin III ran for a TD and RB Alfred Morris ran for 200 yards and three TDs as the Redskins beat the Cowboys 28-18 Sunday night.
Key matchup: Cowboys WR Dez Bryant vs. Redskins' secondary
He might be a Pro Bowl snub, but Cowboys WR Dez Bryant might be the hottest receiver in football. Can the Redskins stop him?
Still plenty to determine in Week 17
The "pandemonium at FedEx Field," as DeAngelo Hall is calling the Redskins-Cowboys win-and-in matchup, heads the Week 17 slate.
Week 17 playoff scenarios
Seeding is up for grabs in the AFC, while five teams fight for two spots in the NFC playoffs in Week 17.
Hall is back with the Washington Redskins, agreeing to a more affordable one-year contract after being cut for salary cap reasons three weeks ago. A person familiar with the deal said Monday night that Hall decided to return for approximately $2 million in 2013, a considerable drop-off from the $7.5 million in salary he would have made under his previous contract.||||||| Hall was a casualty of the Redskins' $36 million salary cap penalty imposed by the NFL for the way the team structured contracts during the 2010 uncapped season. The second half of the penalty kicked in this year, so Hall was released by coach Mike Shanahan on the eve of free agency so the Redskins could get under the cap. Hall talked to other teams but couldn't find a better option than to stay where he was - albeit for considerably less money.
Hall has been released by the Washington Redskins, a casualty of the team's NFL-imposed salary cap penalty on the eve of the start of free agency.||||||| Hall was cut Monday by the Redskins, who are over the cap because of an $18 million sanction for the way they structured contracts during the 2010 uncapped season. The 29-year-old cornerback had four interceptions last season for a defense that ranked 30th in the league against the pass.
Hall was active for Sunday's game against Baltimore.||||||| Hall was wearing a walking boot on Wednesday after hurting his right ankle Monday night against the Giants.
Hall was wearing a walking boot Wednesday after hurting his right ankle Monday night. Shanahan said he expects Hall to play against the Ravens.||||||| "There's no way I'm not playing this game, so it's a non-story," Hall said.
Hall showed up at a radio appearance Tuesday in crutches and said he had an ankle injury.||||||| The cornerback indicated the injury wasn't serious.

Cloves are the dried flower buds of a tropical evergreen tree. This sweet, pungent spice is a staple in holiday baking, especially
gingersnaps. When ground, a tiny sprinkle can bring a dish to life.
Season: Year-round.
How to Choose Cloves
Cloves are sold whole and ground. Whole cloves are shaped like tiny nails, perfect for studding a ham. Ground cloves lose potency quickly, so it's best to buy in small quantities.
How to Store Cloves
When stored properly, ground cloves can last up to 2 years and whole cloves up to 3 years. Both should be stored in airtight containers away from light and heat. Faded color or diminished aroma or taste usually indicates that the spice is old and should be replaced.
How to Prepare Cloves
Cloves can be used whole or ground. You can grind them at home with a spice grinder, but they are very hard so it's difficult to get the fine consistency needed for baking; they also might damage your grinder.
Avoid sprinkling ground cloves directly from the container into a hot or steaming pot. The steam can hasten the loss of the remaining flavor and aroma in the spice. Taste and smell the spice before adding it to your dish. Older spices will have lost some flavor, so you may need to use more in the recipe.
How to Use Cloves
One of the strongest spices, use cloves sparingly; a little goes a long way. Cloves add a spicy punch to sweets like gingerbread and pumpkin pie. They can also be used as a pickling spice or to liven up savory dishes such as baked beans and chili. Use them in mulled cider or press their stems into baked ham.

Retrieved online August 23, 2010 from Brook Stockberger, Las Cruces Sun-News LAS CRUCES — Here is the good news: Recent reports by the New York Federal Reserve and Equifax Inc., show that debt is down. The bad news: Some of the reasons debt is down include high unemployment, the drop in housing prices and tight credit. So whither the economy? Savings/recovery/stimulu More »

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma is pretty strong with notes of pumpkin and ginger. For the flavor I get chocolate, pumpkin pie spices (ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves) and some pumpkin. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very good beer.

big thanks to tom for sharing this with me.
2011 vintage. 22oz bomber at fridge temp poured into a snifter.
pours out pretty much opaque black with a nice half a finger or so of creamy, light mocha colored head that slowly faded to a thick retentive ring. small bits of lacing.
the pumpkin and cinnamin jump out at me first. also some nutmeg, and just a little bit of a sweet, lightly roasted malt.
a nice fleshy pumpkin taste, cinnamin, nutmeg, cocoa, clove, everything labeled on the bottle is easily noticable in one way or another. some lightly roasted malt is more in the background.
medium bodied, doesnt really feel as thick as it looks. good feeling carbonation.
a good pumpkin beer, definatly unique, but i had higher hopes for this. IMO it couldve use some more dark roasted flavors.

Bottle (2011)
Churchill's Pub & Grille
San Marcos, CA
Pours out a murky dark brown, nearly black with apparent low carbonation. Thin dark brown head that leaves sheets of lacing down the glass.
The aroma consists of lots of roasted malt and a hint of chocolate. As the beer warms, an authentic pumpkin flavor becomes more and more accessible, as well as a nutmeg and cinnamon character. This is one of the more authentic smelling pumpkin ales I've tried.
Rich chocolate and roasted malt provide the strong backbone of this beer, and as it warms, nutmeg, cinnamon, and authentic pumpkin flavors become more and more present. Moderate bitterness. Very nice.
Medium mouthfeel with low carbonation.
I'm very glad I got to try this one, and on my birthday no less--it certainly was a treat! Thanks, NoSignsOfPain!

Bottle shared by a generous soul.
Pours a dark brown color with a one-finger light tan head. The head recedes into a patchy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells very good. Lightly roasted malts, a combination of dark and milk chocolate, and spices - nutmeg mostly with mild amounts of cinnamon and pumpkin - all come together in a nice package.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Like a big porter up front - smooth roasted malt flavors with tempering sweet chocolate - however it soon turns to solid amounts of spices. As with the smell nutmeg is most prevalent along with a combination of cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar, all in measured amounts. The spices carry through to a crisp ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a smooth thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is great. I finished my glass very quickly and could easily have a lot of these.
Overall I've wanted to try this for a while and it didn't disappoint. The easiest-drinking pumpkin beer I can remember having, worth seeking out.

Big Thanks to guezehead for hooking me up with this one.
A: Pours black and billowy like a stout resulting in nice tan head.
S: Smells like milk chocolately goodness in addtion to, nutmeg, and spice. Not getting as much pumpkin as some other reviews.
T: First taste is stout like, bitter chocolate, but changes to porter roastiness as it warms. Spices incorporate nicely with a milk chocolately finish.
M: Incredibly creamy and smooth. Impressive complexity. Tastes like a combination between milk stout, and a porter. No one flavor dominates, they meld with each sip, very impressive.
D: Fairly low. Tastes incredible, but couldnt have several pints of this one, definitely a sipper dessert beer.
O: I think I was expecting more pumpkin for this one but I was not let down by any means as this the best porter/imperial porter I've had next to HF Everett. Definitely must try for Porter lovers out there.

Shared with Abecal and KevinRONI. Thanks Abe!
I think this hit the pumpkin seasonal style on the nose. Both nose and Taste of chocolate pumpkin pie. And it hits that canned pumpkin pie mix that goes into making that pumpkin pie on the head. Starts off with a more pronounced chocolate that you don't normally get from a porter and finishes that spicy and cinnamin pumpkin pie mix perfectly. Mouthfeel spot on for the style.
The best Pumpkin beer I've ever had and the best Porter I've ever had minus Black Butte XXI.
Would definitley have this again but at $12.99 I'm just not THAT big of a fan of Porters in general. To conclude and quite honestly...not sure why this would get any score less than a B+ unless you don't like pumpkin pie, whereas why would you buy it if you didn't?

3.78/5 rDev -7.8%
A: Pours a very dark brown with a small tan head on top with minimal retention leaving a thin ring on top. No real lacing either.
S: Some light pumpkin, roasted malt with plenty of chocolate and spices - mostly nutmeg and cinnamon.
T: More of the same, the chocolate is stronger as is the pumpkin flavor. There is nice cinnamon and nutmeg as well. Not overly sweet, but not as bold as hoped.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Slightly sweet with a dry finish.
O: Good, but not as good as I had hoped. In this style I thought that Saint Arnold did a better job with Pumpkinator.

first of all. THIS BEER IS NOT RETIRED!!! It is a seasonal release and is one of midnight suns best sellers. They have no intention of retiring it. And the alcohol should be listed at 7.8% However youd be lucky to find a bottle in the stores and wont at the brewery until next season. This beer pours a dark black with the teeny tiniest red hue. The head is a dark tannish brown, but fades rather quickly. The nose is very porter with obvious pumpkin spice and faint chocolate and coffee. the taste flips flops harder than Al Gore. The taste is of chocolate and coffee mix and the pumpkin takes a back seat, or maybe just sits bitch in the front. The middle of the taste is where the pumpkin starts to show up and fades with the malt and hops in the finish. Taste lingers and chocolate flavor hangs on the lips. Mouthfeel is excellent, smooth and creamy, but not as soupy as an imperial stout. The carbonation is suprisingly good, but not abrasive at all. Perfect carbonation in my opinion. I would kill somebody, maybe even a member of my family to get some of the oak aged version of this from an older vintage. Incredibly drinkable, and lingering flavor. Another fine offering from m sun. Those boys sure know how to brew em.

Poured from a 22oz bomber into my Dogfish Head shaped pint glass.
Seal brown body, nearly opaque with faint sienna highlights around the edges. Sandy brown creamy head is small but persistent.
Rich chocolate from the cocoa nibs and fresh spices fill the nose, though a tart vegetal layer of pumpkin makes itself known promptly as well - the combination is unique and unlike any other pumpkin ale I've tried (though it has some elements that remind me of Autumn Maple).
Dark smooth chocolate on the palate - cloves, and a hint of nutmeg lend a festive complexity without being overdone or suggesting pumpkin pie filling. The sweetness is offset slightly by roast malt as the porter bleeds into the profile. Finish suggests a chocolate/cherry cordial without being cloying.
Velvety medium bodied feel, moderately carbonated, slightly warming with just a touch of astringency/smoke.
An odd ale for sure (chocolate covered pumpkin?), but the disparate elements work very well. Very happy to see this turn up in my market. The best example of the style I've tried so far...

3.98/5 rDev -2.9%
A - Pours black with a light brown foam. Foam retention is decent and there is small rings of lacing. Slight carbonation.
S - Scents of cocoa powder jump from the glass. There is a bit of smoke and roasted malt in there as well. I get a slight aroma of pumpkin flesh and caramel.
T - This is more appropriately a porter with notes of chocolate and pumpkin. The dominant flavor in this is chocolate and dark malts. An almost subliminal hint of spices lurk in the background. I felt the finish had the sweetness of pumpkin flavoring.
M - The complexity is nice, but I found the sweetness made this less likely to have more than one than a standard porter. Unless trying to satisfy a sweet tooth this is a nice dessert\cocktail beer.
O - Nice offering from Midnight Sun and one I'd like to have again. My only disclaimer would be to not expect the notes in a traditional pumpkin beer as this is clearly a porter first and foremost.

Newest vintage. Kind of stumbled onto this one at my local place. 22oz bomber into a Lost Abbey Teku. Shared with schen9303.
Pours thin and black with a slight pink-orange hue. 1 finger light mocha head with low retention. Lacing is stringy and patchy with average stick. Nice.
Nose is musty pumpkin, roasted malt, and chocolate. Some fudge and cinnamon in there also makes this one smooth, rich and decadent though a touch light and not too aromatic. Solid though.
Opens chocolate, pumpkin spice, brown sugar, fudge, and a slight touch of roasted malt. Vanilla and molasses at the middle with more roast and pumpkin spice at the end. Finishes with a touch of cinnamon and sugar cookie. Sweet aftertaste. One of the best pumpkin ales I've ever had.
Light to medium bodied with moderate to low carbonation. Smooth and silky in the mouth and warm and robust going down. Finishes messy and ashy with a slightly lingering, pleasant aftertaste. Complements the flavor perfectly.
One of, if not the best pumpkin beer I've ever had. I wish they all tasted like this. Decent complexity and body and putting the cinnamon, spice, and pumpkin in an imperial porter background works wonders. Definitely recommended.

So, with fifteen minutes left Real Madrid have made their second substitution, introducing the excellent Gonzalo Higuain for the equally excellent - but much more tired - Karim Benzema. They go on the attack instantly, with Phillipp Lahm having to put in yet another excellent tackle on Cristiano Ronaldo. Considering the Bayern Munich captain is a booking away from suspension, he's been very brave in his tackling, which has had to have been essentially perfect all night.
Madrid keep attacking, and Mario Gomez has to rush back in order to provide some help on defence, dispossessing Kaka at the edge of his own penalty box. Real get the ball back eventually, but an exhausted Ronaldo shanks a shot well wide from distance. That was all a bit limp, but after the week he's had you can hardly blame him. Real look dead on their feet.

2005-06 Vol. 49, Number 4
Occupational employment
This section shows
how employment in occupations is projected to change over the 2004 to
2014 decade. Employment change in occupations affects the opportunities
available to jobseekers. Generally, occupations with rapid job growth,
many new jobs, or many job openings offer better prospects.
Most of these charts show which occupations or occupational groups
are expected to grow fastest (percent change) or gain the most jobs
(numeric change) during the 2004-14 projections decade.
But when it comes to employment prospects, job growth tells only part
of the story. Job openings for workers stem from the need to replace
workers who leave an occupation permanently, as well as from the need to
fill new jobs that are added to an occupation. Two charts show which
occupations and occupational groups are expected to have the most
openings for workers who are entering the occupation for the first time.
These charts show projected openings both from job growth and from
replacement needs (the need to replace workers who leave).

1. UP LIKE THE SWELLING IN AN INJURED ELBOW: LeBron James Is A Failure At Everything Forever. How did this ABA grade player ever get so far, you ask? Who knows: a strange wager between God and David Stern, perhaps, or maybe the use of an elaborate Kobe Bryant clone in a odd mask playing out a strange piece of theater only he has the script for on the biggest stage in basketball.
Kobe grew up in Italy. Don't tell us he doesn't appreciate some Fellini-grade surrealism. When this ends with Kobe endorsing a dodgy Russian cloning operation owned by Mikhail Prokhorov and finishing his career playing with four Kobe clones on the 2012-2016 NBA Championship Nets, you will feel the power of our psychic visions in full.
How it happened remains a mystery, but the effects are now worldwide news: Lebron James is a complete failure at everything ever. He has also become a lazy, selfish person, an uncommitted player, a huckster spinning too many plates at once, a spoiled pauper in prince's clothes squandering the pile of gold he fell into--oh, you have an opinion too, on the matter of a supremely talented NBA player not winning a championship when he has the OMG INVINCIBLE ANDERSON VAREJAO at his side?
Disapproval Dog wants to know more. [yawn] No, really. He's just dying to hear it. Send him the World Wide Web address and he will leave a comment of praise on your weblog.
As for Celtics fans who, at the behest of Bill Simmons, were chanting "New York Knicks" as the clock ran out on the LeBron James/Cleveland marriage, welcome to the ranks of history's great haters. A few examples of #celticschants throughout history are illustrated below for instructional purposes.
If you're planning on having a stroke later today, please tweet this promptly so Celtics fans can be alerted in time. You wouldn't want to lie on your bathroom floor without 10 guys in headbands chanting "SAG-GING FACE MUSCLES clap clap clapclapclap" at you.
2. UP LIKE A MOON NO WAIT THAT'S NO MOON: The New LeBron James Orbiting PR Death Star And Speculation Machine Sponsored By Nike And The Death Of The Rust Belt. This column's new Death Star for the next four months will be the LeBron Orbiting PR Death Star, destined to haunt your dreams and nightmares for every second of every day until LeBron pauses, presses the "Cash Tsunami Button," and downloads the rarest of iPhone apps, "F*** You Money For Life."
Somehow, despite suddenly becoming an obvious failure in the eyes of the universe because he is a horrible narcissist, LeBron will be signed to a huge free agent deal with the New York Knicks. I know this from reading ESPN, which is all but writing the checks themselves for LeBron's arrival in New York, which would give them full permission to abandon the tiresome task of covering sports outside of the Northeast altogether.
The next four months will be this, and people making expert mockery of it. The first will suck; the second can be delicious, indeed.
For the record, I'd totally watch ESPN Sacramento.
3. RISING LIKE THE FRESHLY SHARPENED BROADSWORD OF LAMAR ODOM: Cyclops Nash. The boys from Bright Side of the Sun captured the quote of the week on Steve Nash's cyclopian excellence against the Spurs this past week, as Grant Hill put it:
"They kept forcing him to his good eye."
No, he really said that. There's video captured by real live bloggers loose in the locker room and everything.
Pirate Nash may now, in fact, be licensed to engage in an MMA fight in the state of Nevada, having endured a swollen eye, a full toss against the cage by Robert Horry, and a Bruce Bowen hernia check. The Suns will now face the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. Short of cutting him in half with a broadsword, little the Lakers can do will surprise Nash. (Which is why Lamar Odom will, in fact, attempt this exact move in game one without interference from officials. Twice.)
He's Canadian, and thus somehow polite and indestructible. Do your worst. He'll only tape himself together with some gardening supplies and go back out for the second half.
4. UP LIKE THE DUST IN THIS ROOM: Dallas Braden throws a perfect game. Okay, it's genuinely moving that Dallas Braden throws a perfect game on Mother's Day, but must we immediately jump to that storyline on something as genuinely fluky as a perfect game, something so statistically unlikely that it's only happened 19 times in the history of the game of baseball? If someone survived a 30,000 foot fall from the open door of a commercial airliner into a tree, would we immediately leap to "...and it happened on Arbor Day, Bob," as the storyline?
No, we'd sit around and say, "My, that's so rare as to be astronomically random and awesome." It is an impressive physical performance, sure, but the statistical rarity of this achievement simultaneously cheapens and enriches the event because a.) yes, he did something brilliant and exceptional, and b.) it reminds you that people have to resort to deep statistical analysis to make baseball exciting.
(Don't think I watched Braden's grandmother hug him crying without getting a bit misty, either, but is this the Great Depression? After the moment passes, do I need the man with the newsreel voice saying "AND HE DID IT FOR HIS BELOVED MOTHER!")
5. UP LIKE THE EYEBROWS OF A THOUSAND EXPECTANT MOTHERS: Brian Cushing's HCG levels. This really is a Mr. Show skit come to life. Just step back and think: all this happened this week.
- Long-rumored steroid case tests positive for something. Gets four game suspension from NFL, who declines to identify substance
- Long rumored steroid case denies this
- SOMEHOW the actual substance gets leaked (oops!) to a source
- Source reveals that it's Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, the hormone pregnant women produce that trips pregnancy tests. It's also a common masking agent for steroids.
- Long-rumored steroid case announces pregnancy to world and intention to play while pregnant because "If Casey Hampton can do it, so can I."
- Sportswriters get so indignant they announce intention to revote long-rumored steroid case's Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
- Sportswriters re-vote...and give it to him a second time.
I can't add anything to that making it any more farcical than it already is. It's life trumping satire for the three billionth time. By the way, I demand a revote on the 2008 National Sportswriter of the Year Award, since Bob Ryan totally tested positive for caffeine and Lipitor, substances allowing him to crank out content at a pace simply not possible for a man his age.
6. UP LIKE THE OH FORGET IT LET'S BLAME THE FRENCH: Charlie Davies Will Not Be At The World Cup. For once, US soccer fans cannot blame Bob Bradley for something bad. Fortunately, you can fall back on an old reliable: blaming the French.
7. UP LIKE THE CONTENTS OF A MARYLAND UNDERGRAD'S STOMACH: Get Your Preak On. Despite ruffling the frilly sleeves of a sportswriter who dipped his quill in ink and scribbled away furiously in protest, The Preakness has embraced its reputation with profitable results. Super Saver is going to attempt to nab the second leg of the Triple Crown at a track known less for racing drama and more for...um...this:
On my first visit there, 20 years ago on a non-Preakness race day, there was a stray cat dragging a piece of pizza through the deserted grandstand. There were about 50 people on the frontstretch apron that day, many of them likely degenerate gamblers. On subsequent visits I have seen a man jump onto the track and try to punch an onrushing horse during a race on the Preakness undercard; a power outage that paralyzed the grandstand Preakness day; and a shyster pseudo-public relations woman in towering heels and a minidress, unaffiliated with the track, deploying mounted police when Barbaro was injured in 2006 -- and the cops listened to her.
Just have Zap, Turbo, and the original cast from American Gladiators line up with dodgeball-firing air cannons to take aim at the porta-pottie sprinters, and we could have a real live viable commercial product here.
8. UP LIKE FIZZY LIFTING BUBBLES: Big Ten Expansion Rumors. All sound and fury this week, signifying nothing despite rogue talk radio reports and semi-denials from schools, but it did give us what the internet gives us: quality photoshop.
9. UP LIKE A TEAR GAS CANISTER MY APOLOGIES THAT'S "UN CAN DU LACHRIMATOR": The Canadiens' Victory Might Destroy Montreal. Speaking of blaming the French: Montreal, everyone, or "the French Philadelphia!"
After Montreal's 5-2 win, the AP posted an "everything is fine, nothing to see here" piece applauding the fans. That piece has since morphed into a "the end is nigh dystopian nightmare vision." Habs fans decided to go all "Escape From Montreal" on everyone. Items have been thrown at cops, not-so-delicious tear gas was launched into the crowd, and "fans" topped it all with some local-business looting.
We'll treat this as serious when the Canadiens' eventual title results in a full-scale 28 Days Later scenario complete with Habs fans turning into zombies that feed on beer and poutin. Or, in other words: exactly the way they are right now.
10. HOLDING STEADY AND TAKING ONLY THE PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUG OF ENDLESS PUBLIC ATTENTION: The Ever Present Brett Favre PR Death Star and Country Bear Jamboree. Still undecided! Still mentioning that he's undecided through "sources!" Still roaming his farm chopping down trees! LET THIS NATIONAL NIGHTMARE END.
Falling Out Of The Rankings: Pretty much everything except the NBA playoffs from last week is gone, which is a shame because Pilgrim Kobe was kind of hypnotic.
