This has been a long time coming, but I finally have a bit of time to get it put together. Let's just call this a rough draft - if you have anything else to add/edit, just stick it in the comments.
Not all of us are unfortunate, doomed, cursed, or masochistic enough to live in Detroit, so when we do get scammed into attending a game through an illegal pyramid scheme, the questions of "how do I come out alive", "will I need to hunt for my own food", "will I get an STD just from breatHing" often come up. There have been a number of posts on this site dedicated to just that, so I've decided to take some of the common suggestions and put them all in one spot.
Detroit is a cesspool that would have terrified Dante and make Milton look like a children's book author . Just. Don't. Go.

If you're looking for rock n roll music in Pattaya, The Tahitian Queen Rock & Roll Bar is where you can find it. This Pattaya go go has been around since the end of the Vietnam War and it's still rockin strong. Most of the local expats who hang out there refer to it affectionately as the "TQ". The Pattaya girls of the Tahitian Queen are just as rockin as the music.
The Tahitian Queen is just about the only Pattaya go go that opens in the early afternoon. If you're strolling down Beach Road on a hot day and want to get out of the sun for a dose of A/C, this is the perfect place. It's also perfect if you've just arrived in town and are looking for some daytime action before Walking Street gets going.
The TQ is home to a couple of local motorcycle clubs and it's not uncommon to spot some of the big bikes in town parked right out front. In fact, if you're not sure just where the Tahitian Queen is located, just walk up Beach Road until you spot the Harleys across from the beach.
The Tahitian Queen is located on Beach Road right between Soi 12 and Soi 13. You really can't miss it. Don't expect any great big neon signs, though. It's more laid back than that.
At first glace, from the outside, you might get the impression that nothing much is happening there. But once you draw back the black curtain that covers the doorway and step inside, the party begins.
The main stage at the Tahitian is right in the middle of the room. It's a narrow stage and the Pattaya go go girls dance side by side. It's long enough for about eight girls to dance at a time. After a dance, the girl on the end will step off the stage and a new girl will get up on the stage at the other end.
You'll always find plenty of Pattaya girls at the Tahitian Queen. They work in two shifts, a daytime shift and a second night shift. If I remember correctly, the night shift comes on around 6pm. So, if you time it right, you can see both shifts. The TQ has some real stunners.
If you're a motorcycle enthusiast you should definitely make the Tahitian Queen your first stop in Pattaya. Even if you're not into big bikes, the TQ is a great place to relax on a hot day just to watch the Pattaya girls dancing to some good ole rock n roll.

Since the departure of Kyle Weblog, I have been going through Georgia football history withdrawal. I figured I would attempt to take Dawg Sports readers on an excursion throughout the glorious history of our program, but with a bit of a twist. I plan on launching a series where we will go through the 2013 football schedule with yours truly selecting a past memorable game against each foe, provided there has been one.
The hottest ticket in 1940s Athens via georgiatechticketstubs.com
Saturday, November 28, 1942
Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA
Georgia: 34, Georgia Tech: 0
As you may already know, the Georgia Bulldogs didn't always beat the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in football. Until Tech left the SEC in 1963, they were actually quite competitive in league play. 1942 was one of those years. At 9-0 in 1942, the second-ranked Yellow Jackets made the trip to Athens to face the fifth-ranked Bulldogs at 9-1, setting up the biggest game between the in-state foes since 1927, when the Jackets spoiled the Bulldogs' perfect season and erased any Red and Black hopes of a trip to the Rose Bowl.
The 1942 showdown between the Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets had tremendous national implications and was tremendously hyped by the national and local media. The Atlanta Constitution wrote at the time that, "Minds were all focused on one thing- to see at any cost the greatest regular season football attraction in the history of the Southeastern Conference." The winner of the 37th meeting between these teams would be guaranteed the opportunity to represent the eastern part of the country in the Rose Bowl, which also meant a shot at the national championship, or at least a share of it.
Likely anachronistic for 1942, but timeless in its own right via shop.47straightposters.com
In the days leading up to the game, Tech Head Coach Bill Alexander fell ill. This resulted in Bobby Dodd, Coach Alexander's leading assistant, taking the white and gold reins for the showdown in Between the Hedges. Meanwhile in Athens, 8,000 extra seats were constructed at Sanford Stadium to better meet the insane ticket demand around town. Hype surrounded the Classic City as the Bulldogs prepared for their biggest clash with Tech in 15 years. Ed Danforth of the Atlanta Journal described the pregame atmosphere: "Starting early in the morning, the invasion of Athens began and every road leading into the beautiful university city groaned beneath the land... Thousands of people began arriving in automobiles whose rationed gas has been saved for months."
It turned out that all the hype was for naught. This was an absolute blowout almost from the beginning.
I say almost because Georgia's George Poschner actually fumbled on the opening kickoff, giving Tech the ball at the Bulldog 36, leaving many to think the Jackets would snatch an early lead. The Georgia defense held and the ball was given to halfback/quarterback Frank "Fireball" Sinkwich, wide receiver Lamar "Racehorse" Davis and the heralded Bulldog offense. They just don't do nicknames like they used to...

The Tech defense forced a punt, which sailed into the end zone. The bright lights now shined on Tech standout Clint Castleberry, but the freshman was picked off by Sinkwich (yes, he played defense, too) at the Tech 37. On the ensuing Bulldog drive, Georgia's other superstar halfback/quarterback Charley Trippi found Van Davis on a 17-yard touchdown pass.
Georgia then started piling on, scoring on the next drive that covered 92 yards in just 11 plays. Just like that, the home team led 14-0. The Bulldogs knocked on the door the next time they got the ball, but a 60-yard drive ended in Castleberry's opportunistic hands. Tech then drove up the field, but was ultimately forced to punt. Taking over at the Georgia 13, Trippi ran 87 yards for another touchdown. Kicker Leo Costa missed the point after, but Georgia now held a comfortable 20-0 lead heading into intermission.

At halftime, the Georgia band made the already hysterical fans go even crazier with a rendition of California, Here I Come.
The Bulldogs added two more touchdowns in the third quarter. On the first scoring play, Trippi hooked up with Van Davis, who had caught the first two Georgia TD passes, on a 42-yard bomb. No Georgia football player had scored three TDs in one game since the great Bob McWhorter in 1912. The Bulldogs scored again just moments later when Clyde Ehrhardt picked off a GT pass and found the endzone from 27 yards out. Costa put the icing on the cake for a final score of 34-0.
The Jackets were still in search of their first win in Sanford Stadium, constructed in 1929.
Immediately after the triumphant humbling of Georgia Tech, Coach Wally Butts officially accepted UGA's Rose Bowl bid. Moments later, Frank Sinkwich was informed that he would be awarded the 1942 Heisman Trophy, winning the award by the largest plurality in the trophy's eight years of existence.

Sinkwich and Trippi accounted for 409 yards in this contest. Trippi ran for 119 and passed for 116, while Sinkwich racked up 72 yards on the ground and 102 yards in the air. "Frankie Fireball" in three games against Tech amassed 405 passing yards and 260 on the ground.
Leo Costa scored in 33 straight games from 1940-42, an NCAA record at the time. He converted nine extra-point attempts in his three games against Tech.
Both coaches spoke highly of the opposition. Dodd described the 1942 Bulldogs as "the greatest team in America," while Butts had this to say about the Jackets, "We caught Tech when they were down... Tech is a much better team than it showed today. But we will try to win [the Rose Bowl] for both of us- and for the whole state of Georgia."
To date, this was the biggest Saturday in the history of Georgia football. Matters were sweetened by the news of top-ranked Boston College falling to Holy Cross earlier that day. Had the #2 Jackets prevailed in Athens that day, they would have clinched the 1942 national championship. Since Tech had cost the undefeated Georgia team of 1927 their shot at the crown, it was poetic justice at its finest.
The 1942 football season might have belonged to Frank Sinkwich, but the 1942 Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate game ball belongs to Charley Trippi, who accounted for 235 yards in the game and overwhelmed the Jackets on both sides of the ball. Trippi, a two-time All-American at UGA, left Athens for the 1943-44 seasons to serve in the military during World War II and returned in 1945. He won the Maxwell Award in 1946, his final year as a Bulldog. In 1947, Trippi played a season of minor league baseball for the Atlanta Crackers, hitting .334 in 106 games.
Later that year, Trippi landed with the Chicago Cardinals (now in Arizona) and helped the team to the 1947 NFL Championship, totaling 206 yards (with 102 on punt returns) in the championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Trippi scored two touchdowns in the game: one on a 44-yard run and the other on a 75-yard punt return. In nine years with the Cardinals, he played a multitude of positions: left halfback, quarterback, defense, punter and punt returner.

Charley Trippi graduated from UGA in 1951 with a BS in education and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959. He was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1965 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1968. Trippi is the only Pro Football Hall of Famer with 1,000 yards of receiving, 1,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing. In 2007, he was ranked #20 in ESPN's Top 25 Players In College Football History. Trippi's number 62 is one of only four that has been retired by the University of Georgia.

Trippi, now 91, lives in Athens with his second wife, Margaret. He had three children with his first wife, Virginia, who passed away in 1971: Charles, Jr., Brenda and Jo Ann. He is a frequent guest of honor at UGA football-related events, most recently G-Day and the 2012 season opener.

Please join me in raising a paw to Charley Trippi and the 1942 Georgia Bulldogs for delivering an epic performance in a crucial game on November 28, 1942, a game I consider the best ever played against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Sundance, ThinkFilm, Distribution, Cinematical Indie, Movies, Sundance Film Festival, CinematicalThe very last film I saw at Sundance this year, at a lively 10 p.m. screening and seated next to the dapper James Rocchi, was The Escapist. It was a perfect ending for the festival, and a great "guy movie" to boot (Rocchi and I are nothing if not burly, rugged men): Brian Cox leads a bunch of Limey blokes, including Joseph Fiennes, on a daring escape from a British prison. Familiar premise, but well executed with a few twists. Rocchi's rave review is here.
The flick was well received during its world premiere at Sundance, and yet somehow it didn't get picked up by any distributors before the fest ended. Now, finally, THINKFilm has come to the rescue. Variety reports that the distributor has paid about $1 million for the film and plans to release it in October, starting small and expanding over the course of several weeks.
I'm really happy about this. The plot may sound ordinary, and at its heart maybe it is. But it's a thrilling, visceral movie that I think audiences will really go for once they get a chance to see it. Rocchi said it best (as usual): "[The film] not only works as a brilliant, twisting existential expansion of the traditional prison break film; it also works as a crackerjack example of the traditional prison break film." So keep an eye out for it this fall, and let's all send THINKFilm a thank-you card.
P.S. If the title The Escapist makes you think of the comic book created by characters in the brilliant novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, you're not alone. Sorry to get your hopes up! Maybe that movie will get made someday....

The 2010 World Cup will have a first-time winner after Spain defeated Germany Wednesday in Durban, 1-0, thanks to the timely head of Carles Puyol. Next for Spain: Sunday's match against the Netherlands in the World Cup's final.
Like us to subscribe
Carles Puyol's 73rd minute goal has put Spain into the nation's first World Cup final, defeating Germany 1-0, the same score the teams played to in the final of Euro 2008.
The goal came off a Xavi Hernández corner kick played to the spot, where Puyol was able to run onto his shot, headed between Manuel Neuer and Lukas Podolski for the match's only goal.
Spain had dominated the opening of the second half. With the exception of one Toni Kroos shot, Spain had created all of the half's chances, finally pay-off after Andrés Iniesta's effort created a corner kick along the left of the attack.
And with the exception of the last 25 minutes of the first half, Spain controlled the match. The Spanish came out with more energy than the Germans, stifling the German attack in their own end, and it was only after Spain had appeared to have worn down that the Germans looked to gain a measure of the match.
When the second half opened, that stretch of German competitiveness appeared to be an aberration, with Spain able to create chances for Xabi Alonso, Pedro and David Villa prior to Carles Puyol's goal.
Germany's best chance of the match had come just before the opening goal, when Lukas Podolski lofted a cross for Kroos, whose volley could not beat Iker Casillas at the `keeper's near post.
The Spanish now advance to their first World Cup final, where they will meet the Dutch on Sunday, ensuring the competition will have a first-time winner. The Netherlands have been to previous finals, in 1974 and 1978.
Germany has a Saturday match against Uruguay in the third place game.
Vincente del Bosque has used his second substitution, bringing on David Silva for Pedro.
Silva started the first match of the tournament, Spain's loss to Switzerland. He comes on for Pedro, today's surprise starter, who was only of the match's most active players.
Spain maintains a 1-0 lead in the 88th minute.
Joachim Löw has used hit final substitution while Vincente del Bosque has used his first.
Mario Gomez has been brought on for Sami Khedira, shifting Germany from a 4-5-1 formation to a 4-4-2.
Spain has taken off David Villa, putting Fernando Torres into their striker's role.
Spain maintains a 1-0 lead in the match's 83rd minute.
Carles Puyol has given Spain a 73rd minute lead over Germany, heading Xavi Hernández's corner kick in from 12 yards out, his shot going between Manuel Neuer and the post-protecting Lukas Podolski.
Hernández's lofted corner looked to target Gerard Piqué near the penalty spot, but Carles Puyol, running onto the cross from outside the box, timed his approach perfectly, powerfully heading the ball to the right of goal. Neuer only had time to stick out a left arm, but the shot was out-of-reach. Spain was ahead, 1-0.
Puyol had failed to convert an easier header opportunity in the first half, going over the bar from six yards out at the end of another Hernández cross.
Spain now leads 1-0, the match having progressed into the 78th minute.
A Toni Kroos volley at Iker Casillas's left post has been saved by the Spain captain, keeping the match even in the 70th minute.
A sudden build-up from Germany through their left side led to Lukas Podolski, at the left edge of the penalty area, lofting a pass to the far post, where right wing Toni Kroos ran onto the lob. The recent substitute allowed the ball to come down on this right foot before hitting it onto the near post.
Iker Casillas, however, had gotten back across goal as was able to parry the ball out of play.
The match remains scoreless, now into the 72nd minute.
Joachim Löw has made his second substitution, taking-off right wing Piotr Trochowski in the 62nd minute in favor of Toni Kroos.
Trochowski was chosen over Kroos as Löw's replacement for the suspended Thomas Müller, generating Germany's best chance in the match's first half. One hour into the game and with Spain attacking almost exclusively through their right side, Löw has chosen to go with the more creative option on his own right wing.
The match remains scoreless through 66 minute, with Spain having been the only threatening side since the second half's kick-off.
Pedro Rodríguez's 22-yard shot was saved by an outstretched Manuel Neuer, diving to the right, denying the match's best chance. The rebound led to Andres Iniesta putting a ball through the six yard box, a pass that was barely missed at the far post by David Villa, with Germany barely escaping the sequence with the match even.
The sequence came as Spain had increasingly asserted more control of the second half, consistently generating shots from around the area, a chance from Villa moments before going wide of Neuer's left post. Pedro's shot came after a lay-off away from the compacted Germany defense, with the right-footed shot darting for Neuer's lower-right hand corner.
The German `keeper's save keeps the match scoreless, now in the 63rd minute.
Moments after Jerome Boateng was caught up-field, allowing Xabi Alonso to spring a Spain counter attack, Germany coach Joachim Löw has replaced the young defender, bringing on Marcell Jansen to play left back the the match's 54th minute.
The move is the match's first substitution and came as Spain had directed more of their attack down their right flank.
Jansen was also in Germany's 2006 World Cup squad.
The match remains scoreless, now in the 57th minute.
Spain's first counter attack chance came in the 48th minute, when a good ball out of the back from Xabi Alonso put Pedro into space vacated by German left back Jerome Boateng, who had pushed forward into attack. Strong work from Pedro subsequently beat Arne Friedrich and Bastian Schweisteiger, allowing the Spanish attacker to cut-in and, eventually, lay-off a ball for the oncoming Alonso.
The Real Madrid midfielder pulled his 22-yard shot wide.
One minute later, Alonso was given another opportunity from the same area, a shot which he pushed wide of the right post.
The match remains scoreless, now in the 52nd minute.
Germany withstood twenty minutes of pressure from Spain before finding their comfort zone in the match, playing the European Champions equal through a scoreless first half.
During that time Spain was able to create the match's best chance, a cross for Carles Puyol who, from six yards out, put a header over the cross bar.
Germany's best opportunities have been more threats than chances: three near counters that were undone by poor touches and reads from central attacking midfielder Mesut Özil. The best of these chances came in the 46th minute when the German attacker overran a ball that had beaten the Spain defense, allowing Sergio Ramos to break up the play, coming to the middle of the pitch from his right back position.
Spain has registered only two shots on goals while holding 62 percent of the possession, with their new starting - Pedro Rodríguez, in for Fernando Torres - playing in multiple places across the width of the pitch.
Germany has generated only one shot on goal - a long-range attempt from Piotr Trochowksi.
Germany finally got a counter attack into the attacking third, using build-up through the right side aided by Miroslav Klose to spring Mesut Oezil behind the defense. The movement ended with Ozil on the ground, sixteen yards from goal, appealing unsuccessfully for a penalty kick.
The play started when Spain lost a challenge in the midfield that caught Carles Puyol out of position. Germany was able to move the ball into the vacated space for Mesut Özil, temporarily behind the defense until Sergei Ramos, from his right back position, caught up to the play.
Özil appeared to overrun the ball, a product of a poor first touch, and went to ground after he's slowed-up and got mixed-up with Ramos.
Spain was able to take the change of possession, move down the pitch and create a long-distance opportunity for Pedro, whose 24-yard shot was hit straight at Manuel Neuer.
After the exchange, which took place in stoppage time, halftime was whistled, the teams going to the locker room scoreless.
It took 31 minutes, but Germany has their first shot on goal, a speculative attempt from second choice right wing Piotr Trochowski.
The midfielder was given space from 26 yards out from counterpart Joan Capdevila. The left-footed turned toward the middle of the pitch and let a shot go, the ball moving along the ground toward Iker Casillas's near post, forcing the Spain goalkeeper to parry the ball out-of-play.
Now in the 37th minute, Spain and Germany remain scoreless.
After 20 minutes of Spanish control, their high pressure quickly regaining possession any time La Roja gave it up, the has settled-in. Germany has been able to establish their shape when on the ball, create avenues for passes and a way to maintain possession, and are finally looking as strong as their counterparts.
Twice, Germany was nearly able to get out on counter attacks, but poor passing between Mesut Özil and Lukas Podolski stifled the breaks near the center line.
Now in the 33rd minute, Spanish pressure has waned, and both teams are playing conservatively when not on the ball.
The match remains scoreless.
Iker Casillas has provided Spain their first nervous moment of the match, as the Spain captain ran under a Bastian Schweinsteiger corner kick, nearly misplaying the ball as two German players waited at the far post.
The 16th minute cross was slightly touched by Casillas, reaching across his body with his left hand, and put out for another corner kick, which proved less dangerous.
The match remains scoreless in the 19th minute.
The match's first decent chance came in the 14th minute off a corner kick, with a ball played short from-and-to Xavi Hernández leading to an eventual cross for Carles Puyol, at the end of the six year box, in the middle of goal.
The Spain central defender missed hit the ball, putting it over the cross bar on what could have been a strong chance for a goal.
The match remains scoreless, now in the 17th minute.
Through the first minutes of the match, Spain's swap of Pedro for Fernando Torres did little to change their formation; however, come the match's ninth minute, Spain can made a change that hinted the Spanish will be more flexible than anticipated.
Come that time, Andres Iniesta was playing wide left, with Pedro having moved to the right of the formation, playing inside the right edge of the penalty area in what could morph into a two forward attack.
On the right flank, Sergio Ramos was providing the width, maintaining a high place in the formation while Sergio Busquets slide over from his midfield position to cover defensively.
The tweaks brought a quick chance for Spain, with Pedro feeding a through ball to David Villa that, read well by German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, was broken up before a shot could be taken.
The match remains scoreless into the 14th minute.
The first six minutes of Spain's match against Germany confirms what was implied by coach Vincente del Bosque's inclusion of Barcelona starlet Pedro at Fernando Torres's expense.
David Villa has moved back to a central striker's role, in from the wide-left position that helped make him the competition's leading goal scorer. Pedro assumes Villa's former place, wide left, with Andres Iniesta playing a center-right position next to Xavi Hernández.
Early, this has led the led-leaning Spain attack to isolate Villa on Arne Friedrich, Germany's left-center half, as Per Mertesacker and the rest of the Spain defense slide to cover their right side.
The match remains scoreless in the seventh minute.
The only change for Germany is a mandated one. Right wing Thomas Müller is suspended, forcing the first change to the Germany team since the second match of the tournament.
While there had been speculation that Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos would assume Müller's place, Piotr Trochowski has gotten the start. Trochowski has been a frequent substitute throughout the tournament.

Löw's choice reflects a more conservative approach, with Trochkowski being a more traditionally inclined midfielder than an the attacking option Kroos represents.
Speculation throughout the last week surrounded Fernando Torres and whether the ineffectual striker would start today's match against Germany. With the submission of his starting lineup we see Spain coach Vincente del Bosque has decided to pull Fernando Torres out of the starting XI.
In his place, Vincente del Bosque has selected Barcelona's Pedro.

It is unclear how del Bosque will deploy this team, though the most likely scenario would find David Villa moving in from the left, taking up a more central role, while Pedro assumes Villa's place wide.
Other options that had been rumored over the preceding days: inserting Cesc Fabregas and going with a 4-5-1 formation; starting Fernando Llorente at striker and keeping Villa in a wide role.
Germany's 4-2-3-1 formation has been the tournament darling that Chile was supposed to be, but it's a set-up that they also used in Euro 2008; specifically, in the tournament final against Spain. Looking back at that team, you see that's where the comparisons end, as a tweaks in the team's personnel have turned the Nationalmannschaft from a prodding squad that spent most of that final tempting yellow cards into a dynamic team capable of scoring within seconds of gaining possession.
That trait will be particularly valuable against Spain, a squad from whom few opponents see little of the ball. Against England and Argentina, Germany showed an ability (if not willingness) to play without the ball, maintaining their composure in defense while waiting for opportunities to counter. That counter attack was responsible for five second half goals against England and Argentina and could also be responsible for getting Germany to the World Cup finals.
Spain's worst efforts over the last two years have come when they were exposed on the counter attack. Gelson Fernandes's goal in the first match of this tournament, Clint Dempsey's goal in the Confederations Cup - it's a short list, but it's also two of the three goals scored in Spain's losses, both coming an classic (if chaotic) counters. While two instances certainly do not a rule make, these observations combined with questions regarding player match-ups makes the question germane: Can Spain stop a German counter attack?
To do so, they will have to contain Mesut Özil, the key addition for Germany between 2008 and now. While Germany was playing 4-2-3-1 in Vienna, they did not have a fast, skilled, dynamic presence in the middle of the three that's required to effectively play this system. The Dutch have it in Wesley Sneijder and to the extent that del Bosque sometimes plays a 4-2-3-1, the Spanish have it in Xavi Hernández. Now, Germany has it in Özil, and to a greater extent than the Dutch or Spaniards, they've had wingers playing they system perfectly.
That changes today with the suspension of Thomas Müller. The German right wing has been amongst Germany's two or three best players this tournament, but having picked up a yellow card against Argentina, the 20-year-old will miss today's match with an accumulation suspension. Opposite Lukas Podolski's left wing, Joachim Löw will start Piotr Trochowski, a player being selected as much for his ability to get backward as forward. Against a Spanish team with a tendency to lean left, his inclusion on the right makes more tactical sense than starting Toni Kroos. However, the choice comes with a sacrifice.
With Müller in the team, Germany would have had a commanding advantage over Spain's deep central midfield: Xabi Alonso and Sergio Busquets, two midfielders masquerading as ball-winners. Where Spain would need a Marcos Senna-type presence to slow down an attack like the Germans, they instead have question marks. Whether the Germans can exploit those question marks without Müller remains to be seen. Özil, while a revelation in this tournament, has shown signs of wearing down, while Podolski has been good but not Müller's equal. The versatility Müller offers - being able to play more centrally or along the line and allow Miroslav Klose to go wide - will inhibit Löw's ability to target specific weaknesses. Whether Trochowski can replace all of those traits is doubtful.
Despite this diminished capacity, the Germans can still exploit Alonso and Busquets. Özil will be able to turn into a counter without having to worry about a true destoyer, allowing Germany to build the same momentum into attack that we saw tear-open England and Argentina. While they won't have their full array of attacking options available to exploit Spain, they will have two, proven, major tournament goal scorers: Klose and Podolski.
Spain's best defense may end up being a good offense. The Germans can't score if you don't give them the ball.
Conventional wisdom holds the German weakness in defense is in the middle, with a central pairing of Per Mertesacker and Arne Friedrich. Mertesacker presides over a Werder Bremen defense that is notoriously sketchy, while Friedrich has made his name as a fullback. As a pair they've seen very little time together, which may partially explain the nature the two goals Germany's allowed in the tournament (Milan Jovanovich's for Serbia and Matthew Upson's for England). Then again, it's only two goals in five matches, so if there is a weakness at the back, something must be augmenting (possibly protecting) them.
That something is Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sami Khedira, Germany's two in their 4-2-3-1 - the pair that have kept Mertesacker and Friedrich in their tactically-created bubble. Against a Spain team with creative, middle-of-the-pitch players like Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta, that protection becomes even more valuable and forces Spain to consider how they will get around them. At a minimum, Schweinsteiger and Khedira will crowd the area around the arc.
This is where Vincente del Bosque's probable inclusion of Pedro Rodríguez comes into play. With Fernando Torres's ineffectiveness taking the apparently unfit striker out of the team, del Bosque looks set to move Pedro in, presumably to the left, and David Villa back to the middle. This will take Spain's best player - their only consistent goal scoring threat - and move him to the most crowded area of the pitch, away from the only position where he's had success in this tournament. And if you're saying that the semifinal is a less-than-optimal time to experiment with this solution, you should have learned spanish and emailed Spain's federation two days ago. A change like this has been coming.
But this particularly change is not the only option. Other solutions rumored included striker Fernando Llorente and attacking midfielder Cesc Fàbregas, the latter seemingly the popular choice. While Cesc is undoubtedly the most talented player del Bousque has on his bench, his inclusion carries the same issues as Pedro's. If you swap Cesc in for Torres, Iniesta has to move to a more left-leaning role, and Villa has to come back in to be the penalty-area presence. At that point, it's debatable whether Fàbregas's inclusion is better than Pedro's (depends a lot on whether you think Iniesta is better in the middle or on the left).
Llorente, however, gave del Bosque a chance to address the problems of the existing set-up without undermining the success they've had with Villa. He would be a like-for-like swap with Torres, enable Villa to maintain the success he's had cutting-in from the left. Llorente is also the kind of hard-working, physical presence that can be effective amidst the crowd, an effectiveness we saw from Upson and Nicola Zigic (who set-up the Jovanovic goal). He also offers Spain an option should the need to go around the German middle, being a forward that can be targeted with crosses. For all of David Villa's virtues, he is none of these things.
There are two pieces of good news for Spain. First, they have the talent to defy any kind of tactical disadvantage. You can play like Portugal, pack all but one or two players deep, and still see a string of intricate passes undo your plan. Second, Spain keeps so much of the ball and limits their opponents opportunities to such an extent that if del Bosque sees his tactics aren't working, the score may still be 0-0 when he chooses to adjust.
All this tactical talk is well and good, but as even the most tactically astute analysts insist on noting, tactics are just one of many parts of a match, and while they're often underrated by most covering the game, they are frequently rendered irrelevant. Sometimes, the best players just win, and today, Spain has that advantage. Spain's players still represent one of the greatest collections of talent we've ever seen. Should they choose to assert themselves, there may be little a benevolent del Bosque could do to derail them.
Two years ago, Spain and Germany met in the final of the European Championships, with a first half goal from Fernando Torres giving Spain their second major title. Though the final score was 1-0, Spain controlled the match with a possession-heavy style with which they've become associated. The performance, if not the score, was decisive.
Since that match in Vienna, Germany has undergone significant change. Only six players who started that day are still in the squad. Current starters Mesut Özil, Sami Khedira, Jerome Boateng and Manuel Neuer had yet to make their way into the senior team.
Spain has experienced fewer changes, with ten of the players who started in Vienna expected to be available for Wednesday's match. The biggest change comes at the touchline, where Vincente del Bosque, the coach who inherited the team from Luis Aragones after that tournament, is struggling to find the team's championship form.
Where They Stand: Both teams come into the semifinals having lost with one tournament loss, but that's where the similarities seem to end. The team that should be favorites has reached a nadir of form, while the neophyte multiculturalists have reached their apex.
Germany is coming off back-to-back four goal games, giving them three quadruples in five matches. In the knock-out rounds they've rolled through England and Argentina, cementing a crisis of identity in the former, accumulating a 13-to-2 goal ratio along the way. There is little debate as to whether the Germans are the in-form team. The question is whether their youth will allow them to carry that momentum through the tournament's final.
To get there, Germany will have to beat Spain without arguably their best player in World Cup 2010, right wing Thomas Müller, who will serve a one game, yellow card accumulation suspension on Wednesday. Were it not for the suspension, we would have to start talking about Müller along with David Villa and Bastian Schweinsteiger for the Golden Ball. On Thursday, he will be replaced in the lineup by either Toni Kroos or Piotr Trochowski.
Spain will make no changes that aren't voluntary, which is not to say there won't be changes. Fans of La Casi Furia Roja have been anticipating a switch away from the struggling Fernando Torres, who has started at striker since the tournament's second match. The alternatives are Fernando Llorente, a like-for-like change, and Cesc Fabregas, whose inclusion would move David Villa back inside from the left-sided deployment where he's scored his tournament-leading five goals.
Unfortunately for Spain, disrupting Villa is pretty risky. The new Barcelona attacker has scored five out of Spain's six goals, setting-up the other. The only match in which he did not score was the one where he started in a central role - the Switzerland loss. If Cesc Fabregas is the solution - a solution that likely moves Andres Iniesta to the left and Villa back to the middle - it may create new, albeit smaller, problem.
Player(s) To Watch, Spain: Everything has gone through David Villa thus far, to such an extent that it's difficult imagining Spain winning without him scoring. However, if they are going to do so, Xavi Hernández is going to have to make a star out of a Cesc Fabregas or Fernando Llorente the same way he's fused so many stars for Barcelona. And it that doesn't work, he can always fall-back on his partnership with Andrés Iniesta, the only other Spaniard to score in the 2010 World Cup.
Player(s) To Watch, Germany: Coming off possibly the best match of his career, Bastian Schweinsteiger, from his position in deep midfield, will be crucial to containing an increasingly narrow Spain attack. Along with Sami Khedira, Schweinsteiger will be tasked with protecting the suspect central defense pairing while Hernández, Fàbregas, and Iniesta try to ticky-tack their way to scoring chances.
If David Villa's deployed through the middle, he becomes part of that battle of centrally deployed players; however, if Villa stays on the left, right back Philipp Lahm and Villa get to engage in a classic mano-a-one battle, a match-up tantalizing enough to make you wish Llorente gets his chance as Spain's striker. Philipp Lahm's defending is much improved over the two years, but David Villa would be a difficult test for the most defensive-minded of fullbacks. While the German captain may be up to the test, it would be nice if we could find out with some certainty.
In attack, Lukas Podolski may have to pick-up some of the slack created by Thomas Müller's absence. He and central attacking midfielder Mesut Özil will be worth watching to see how they adjust without the presence of their versatile, right-sided counterpart.
Prediction: Though there are a number of questions about Vicente del Bosque's choices in attack, the side's biggest uncertainties will be Xabi Alonso and Sergio Busquets' ability to stop Germany's attacking midfielders before they hit the back line. In that way, this match may turn into a battle of which holding midfield duo performs best, with a Germany 2, Spain 1 result reflecting the relative strength of the Schweinsteiger, Khedira tandem.

Gabriella worked at a grocery store in Colombia. After moving to the United States in search of a better job, she was forced into prostitution by a person she trusted.
Several years ago, Gabriella lived in Colombia with her family and worked at a grocery store. As the eldest child, she had to provide for her mother and sisters after her father committed suicide. A childhood friend of Gabriella's moved to the United States some years before, and he offered to help her move to America every time he visited Columbia. He promised he would help her to find work in a restaurant so she could better support her family. After a year, she agreed.
The next thing she knew, Gabriella was taken to the U.S. and forced into prostitution. Not only was she held in debt bondage for $10,000, but she was told that if she tried to escape, her family would be harmed. For five long years, Gabriella lived as the property of her traffickers. She was moved to a different brothel almost every week, never knew where she was, and wasn't able to seek outside help. Unfortunately, Gabriella's story is not unique. Polaris regularly assists victims of human trafficking who are left without homes, employment, family, or friends. Fortunately for Gabriella, Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) caught her trafficker. Gabriella was rescued through a raid that ICE did on the brothel where she was held. ICE referred her to Polaris for services.
Gabriella met with one of our case managers at least once a week for much needed emotional support and comprehensive care. Polaris assisted Gabriella in finding an apartment for her and her 2-year-old daughter, helped her enroll in ESL classes, and provided her with employment assistance.

Opinion,Politics & Elections
RALEIGH Although Rick Santorum made the news headlines by winning the Alabama and Mississippi primaries, it was Mitt Romney who got a bit closer to the nomination in the count that really mattered the number of delegates awarded in all four of Tuesdays contests.
Obviously, the Romney campaign would have been happier with higher vote totals in the two Deep South states. And Newt Gingrich would have been happier coming in first rather than second. The reality is, however, that Santorum didnt win by large enough margins in Alabama and Mississippi to change the dynamics of the race.
Heres one way to think about it: . the Republican presidential contest might be running contemporaneously with the NCAA basketball tournament, but the two sports have little in common.
In a single-elimination basketball tournament, all that matters is who wins and who loses. You win, you advance. You lose, you go home. But in the presidential-nomination tournament, who wins the individual games Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, etc. is not nearly as important as how many points are scored. Youd rather come in second in a high-scoring game than win a low-scoring game. Youd rather lose 75-73 than win 55-53. And when you do win, it pays to run up the score. Taking the game with a final shot at the buzzer is decisive in basketball. Not so much in a primary, unless it is one of the few winner-take-all contests.
By winning the North Dakota game on Super Tuesday, for example, Santorum got 11 delegates to Romneys 7. So he made a net gain of 4 delegates against the frontrunner Romney. But on the same day in Georgia, even though Gingrich got the bulk of the delegates at 52, Romneys second-place showing got him 19 delegates while Santorum got only 3. It was more valuable to come in second in Georgia than to come in first in North Dakota.
And consider what happened last Saturday. Santorum won the caucus that got the most press attention, Kansas, snagging 33 delegates to Romneys 7 for a net gain against him of 26. But Romney won a combined 25 delegates in Guam, the Northern Marinas, and the Virgin Islands, as well as solidifying the delegates from his February win in the non-binding Wyoming caucus. Romney actually scored as many or more points than Santorum did on Saturday, which is all that will matter by the time Republicans convene for their national convention in Tampa.
Recognizing that total points scored matters more than games won helps to put into perspective yesterdays contests in the Deep South and the Pacific.
Going into yesterdays balloting, Romney had won 40 percent of the roughly 8 million votes cast thus far in the Republican presidential race. Santorum and Gingrich had each won about a quarter of the popular vote, as one might call it, with Ron Paul getting just above 10 percent.
But in bound or estimated delegates, in points scored, Romney was further ahead with 54 percent to Santorums 24 percent, Gingrichs 14 percent, and Pauls 8 percent. Essentially, the ratio of votes to delegates thus far had worked to the benefit of Romney, to the detriment of Gingrich, and was a wash for Santorum.
As National Reviews Brian Bolduc reported yesterday, Santorum and Gingrich would each need to rack up about two-thirds of remaining delegates to take the nomination away from Romney. But of the delegates up for grabs yesterday in Alabama, Mississippi, Hawaii, and Samoa, Romney appears to have won 40, Santorum 35, and Gingrich 25. Santorum widened his lead over Gingrich, both in the popular vote and delegate count. But Romney slightly widened his delegate lead over Santorum by finishing close to him the Southern contests and winning the Pacific ones.
Santorums only hope would be if Gingrich dropped out and virtually all of his support went to Santorum. Neither seems likely. Romneys nomination does.

I have a bottle of Herradura gold. Margarita night. I do Don Julio clear or Patron clear sometimes. I like the gold stuff though. It has more flavor. I do like Tres Genaracions(SP?) often also. I can't remember the name of my favorite Tequila for shots though. I just know where it is on the shelf at my local liquer store. At the top, it's like $60 a bottle.

Thankfully Zoe Saldana heard my plea and didn't opt for a minimalistic look for the 2011 Cannes Film Festival Premiere for "The Tree Of Life" this evening.
The beautiful actress looked stunning wearing an Armani Privé long bustier-style gown in white silk organza bodice and a red and white striped cascading skirt.
This is a breath of fresh air from Zoe for me. I love the detail on the hip.
Nicholas Kirkwood python metallic rose suede heels and a stunning gold cuff completed her look.
I haven't complied my top 10 for Cannes yet, but I already know this look is it.

Summersville, W.Va (WVVA)- A man drowned after his kayak overturned while going down the Gauley River with a group of friends.
It happened Sunday around 1:30 p.m. Chief Ranger Jeff West says the victims kayak flipped at the Pillow Rock rapids, approximately four river miles below the Summersville Dam. The kayaker, a man in his mid-fifties, was able to get out of the boat but then became trapped below the water on Camera Rock.
Fellow boaters were eventually able to free the man. Bystander CPR was initiated and continued once paramedics arrived; however, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
His body was transferred to Summersville Hospital for medical examiners to review the case.
The name of the victim is not being released at this point in time pending the notification of his family.
This marks the third fatality during Gauley Season this year. On September 19th a woman was killed after falling out of her raft. Days later, 21-year-old Matthew Hanes of Tennessee, was killed after being tossed from his raft at Fingernail rapid.


text: With all the talent in this years draft, someone please give me your best (realistic) scenario for trading down our 2nd round pick vs. taking one of these guys that fall out of the first round. I hear people talking about picking up extra picks in like the 5th or 6th round, and granted you may find a diamond in the rough, but look what we got last year at the beginning of the second by sticking with our pick!. I think we are fortunate, with this years draft talent, to have a crack at the very best of each of the first four rounds that we should go after these high grade guys rather than worry about an extra couple picks that very well might not make the team (and yes I'm aware that the 34, 66 and 100 also may not make the team, but I would sure as hell hope they had a better shot at it) In simple terms why not go with "quality" over chance in "quantity". Anyways feel free, if you got the time, to throw some trade scenarios for #34 at me that may change my way of thinking. Oh by the way, I also have 100% confidence in our kick ass FO that I know they will make good decisions over the next three days......Go Fucking Lions Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Dear San Diego Humane Society,
We just wanted to send you some updated pictures of Buddy and let you know he has adjusted very well and quickly! Everyone in our family has fallen in love with him. He goes to my mom's during the week while we are at work and she has fallen head over heels in love with him. They now play chase in her house and she takes him out on walks. He loves our daughter's dogs, especially her Chihuahua, Peanut. They are best buds. Thank you so much for all your help in placing Buddy with us, we couldn't be happier. My husband and I get home from work and can't wait to just hold him and just sit back and pet him. He is a perfect fit for us and loves the house and backyard. He has brought smiles and hours of relaxation to us; he can't sit unless he is on one of our laps.

There's no doubt that Israel faces substantial security challenges that are driven by something larger than a sincere desire to secure justice for the people of Palestine. That said, I'm constantly astounded by the lengths to which some commentators will go to deny the fact that the Palestinian issue has anything at all to do with the situation. According to Yossi Klein Halevi, for example, everything that's happened in Israel since 2000 is all part of one vast Iranian conspiracy and everything else is just some kind of fig leaf or distraction. It's as if Israeli occupation of Palestinian land has nothing to do with existence of Palestinian nationalist groups for Iran to support — like the Mullahs put all those Palestinians there in order to inconvenience the Israelis.

text: Okay, I think this is the sign of the Web 2.0 apocalypse - Index Ventures and angel investors have invested $4-million into Stardoll.com, which lets visitors – mostly young girls and women, I guess – to dress more than 320 dolls online. Apparently, it attracts more than one million unique visitors a month but, come on, it's a virtual dress-up site that looks like it's a nice way for the pre-teen set to waste…er, spend some time online. So how does Stardoll make money? There are apparently two ways: advertising (although there was none that I could see) and a premium service that provides access to an ad-free, VIP-area where members get to dress all dolls, including 15 VIP dolls. Frankly, I don't get why it warrants $4-million of venture capital unless it's generating tons of revenue from advertisers looking to go after the young girl demographic.. Index Ventures make a huge killing from being one of Skype's early investors, and it recently put money into FON. Stardoll has hired Mattias Miksche as CEO. He started Boxman.com and E*Trade Northern Europe.

The Warriors $5,287,500 Trade Exception - expires Feb 14th acquired for Cliff Robinson. It's the biggest trade exception in the whole NBA!
Anyone hear any trade rumors! That'll be real lame if Mully says something like "The best move sometimes is no move" or "There aren't any deals for big men but everyone knows that." Is there a chance the Ws would just decide to lose this exception?!
I read names like Paul Pierce, Magliore etc on other Warrior websites. Like you guys, I would like to get a banger and a sharpshooter. Sharpshooters I like are Brent Barry, Earl Boykins or Earl Watson.
Bangers... geez, anyone of the usual suspects. Fantasy Junkie had some great choices like Chandler, Kaman, Boozer, Randolph and Magliore.

With the weekend's UK horse racing fixtures decimated by the bad weather, including the cancellation of Saturday's meeting at Sandown incorporating the Tingle Creek Chase, there is no 'Free Tip Friday' this week.
As it stands, the three scheduled 'all-weather' (debatable!) meetings are still on for Saturday – Kempton, Southwell and Wolverhampton – whilst Sunday's meetings at Lingfield, Exeter and Warwick are looking pretty precarious at the present time!
If you are a member of my Private Advisory Service then Daily Line selections will be availble from 11.30am as per normal on both Saturday & Sunday…. let's hope we continue our current winning run (Fifth Commandment 4/1, Peddler's Cross 3/1, Spensely 9/4, Nacho Libre 8/1, Muntasib 11/8, Magic Cross, 3/1, Hulcote Rose 4/1) into the weekend and beyond!
In the meantime, my tip for the weekend: Stay warm and wrap up if you're off to any of the race meetings still on offer!

After Three years of bad news and unfulfilled hope, a comedic string of season ending injuries, and the sacrifice of our two franchise players, have the Basket ball Gods finally decided to shine their light on our wounded souls? All hope was lost. We were looking at a rebuilding project. All the expectations we had for our young and talented team were wheeled out the door with broken knees. This was going to be a trying time.
Take a shot at the draft and hope we can start again. But what are the odds of landing another core of talented rookies that could turn this Franchise around in only one season? We have been loyal. We have gleaned hope from the smallest rays of light. We have not forgot our misfortune, but have refused to let it ruin us. We have been tested in a most cruel and heartless manner but have never given up.
But this was all part of the plan. For our Loyalty we will be richly rewarded with stars that will shine brighter than those who had burned out. Like a phoenix from the ashes rise two new stars. A headstrong leader with the wings of an eagle and eager young colt with shoulders to carry the weight of the world. A new beginning with all hope renewed.
I used to think that the Basketball Gods were [jerks]...........naahh........they're just drama queens!

NObama in his "infinite wisdom" along with the idiot Democrats did was reduce the normal rate for the last 2 years by 2%, requiring additional borrowing from China and increasing the national debt.
Now the rate is returning to normal. Did anyone benefit from their stupid idea? No, and now that the tax rate is returning to normal they are crying.
Boo Freaking Hoo! At least the moron wont have to borrow another $160 BILLION to cover that stupid idea!

When you place a measure on a shelf, Tableau automatically aggregates the data, usually by summing it. You can easily determine the aggregation applied to a field because the function always appears in front of the field's name when it is placed on a shelf. For example, Sales becomes SUM(Sales).
You can aggregate measures using Tableau only for relational data sources. Multidimensional data sources contain aggregated data only.
You can change the aggregation of a field by selecting a different function from the field's context menu. As shown below, all of the predefined aggregations are available from this menu.
You can assign a different aggregation to every measure you place on a shelf. For example, you can aggregate Sales as a summation, Profit as a maximum, and Discount as an average.
You can change the aggregation state for all the measures on a worksheet by selecting the Analysis > Aggregate Measures menu item.
When all measures are disaggregated you see a mark for each row in the view. You cannot select specific marks to Keep Only, Exclude, or create a Set when all measures are disaggregated.
Dimensions can be aggregated as a measure using Minimum, Maximum, and Count. When you aggregate dimensions, you create a new temporary measure column, so the dimension is now viewed as a measure.
Another way to view a dimension is to treat it as an Attribute. When you aggregate a dimension as an attribute, it is treated like a label instead of partitioning the data. The Attribute aggregation has several uses such as ensuring a consistent level of detail when blending multiple data sources, providing a way to aggregate dimensions when computing table calculations, which require an aggregate expression, and finally it can increase query performance because it is computed locally.
Tableau computes Attribute with a the following formula:IF MIN([dimension]) = MAX([dimension]) THEN MIN([dimension]) ELSE "*" END
The above formula is computed in Tableau after the data is retrieved from the initial query. The asterisk (*) is actually a visual indicator of a special type of Null value that occurs when there are multiple values. Refer to Troubleshooting Data Blending to learn more about the asterisk.
Below is an example of using Attribute in a table calculation. The table shows sales by market, market size, and state. Now suppose you wanted to compute the percent of total sales each state contributed to the market. When you add a Percent of Total Quick Table Calculations that computes along State, the calculation computes within the red area shown below. This is because the Market Size dimension is partitioning the data.
When you aggregate Market Size as an Attribute, the calculation is computed within the Market and the Market Size information is used purely as a label in the display.

Next generation supply chain technologies and SaaS platforms allow companies to manage planning, procurement, and replenishment processes across multiple tiers of the supply chain.
By removing information latency and keeping all of your supply chain partners informed of rapidly shifting demand and supply trends and patterns, you can drive out waste, cut complexity, and capture lost revenue.
Supply chain disruptions can wreak havoc on the best laid strategies and operating plans.
By leveraging advanced analytical techniques and visualization technologies, you can harness powerful predictive capabilities that can provide you with a 360° view of global operations risk and enable you to take steps to address them before they happen.
The ability to optimize performance and cost across the entire supply chain will be key to becoming more competitive and resilient, according to KPMG International's 2014
Global Manufacturing Outlook survey report.

I was watching the penultimate episode of "Dexter" the other day . . . and I realized I didn't care anymore. Like the hundreds of former fans trailing online "Dexter" stories with a kite tail of hate comments, I just want to see this one through to the end and get it off my DVR. At this point, I don't care about Dexter's fate any more than I care about who won the 26th season of "Survivor." Which is to say, not at all.
And that's a sad thing, because I once cared plenty about this Showtime series, which finishes its popular eight-season run on Sunday night. During its first four years, "Dexter" was the ultimate antihero drama, in a way, in a large pool of TV antiheroes. He was a man-child whose innocence was stunning; and then he was a coldly methodical murderer addicted to bloodletting. He was a superhero, meek by day and protecting the streets of Miami by night; and he was a supervillain for the exact same reason, a vigilante whose hubris and psychopathology brought him outside the law. Cool and watchful, Michael C. Hall made it all work together naturally.

It's estimated that up to twenty percent of cancer deaths are related to excess weight.
So now, the American Cancer Society is updating its cancer prevention guidelines. At the top of the list, maintaining a healthy weight and that advice comes with three recommendations.
First, the ACS says those who are able should rev up their fitness level to include more than just a walk about the park.
"That can have positive effects on the physical function as well on cognitive function," said Dr. Harvey Cohen, of Duke University Medical Center.
Also on the list, a push for more fruits and vegetables and fewer fries and finally, a strong reminder to limit alcohol consumption to just one glass a day for women and two for men.
The cancer society report notes that weight gain, lack of physical activity and alcohol have all been linked as risk factors for a number of cancers, including breast and colon.

No Mass appeal as Australia head home
11:52pm Wednesday 18th June 2014 in Sport By Tom Bassam, Sports reporter, @tbassam
TOWN'S Australian midfielder, Massimo Luongo and his teammates will not be progressing into the knockout stages of World Cup.
Both the Socceroos and the 2010 champions, Spain, lost their second group games to Holland and Chile respectively. Those results gave the victors six points each and ensure the final round of fixtures in Group B will be for nothing more than pride.
Luongo did not feature as Australia went down to Louis van Gaal's Dutch side. The Socceroos did lead after Tim Cahill's stunning volley and a Mille Jedinak penatly cancelled out, then overtook Arjen Robben's opener.
Robin van Persie and Memphis Depay made sure Holland got the win and left Australia needing a Spanish victory over Chile to retain a slim chance of qualifying for the second round.
The impressive and hard-working Chileans ended Spain's miserable title defence in Brazil, also ensuring that Australia and Luongo will go home early.
Eduardo Vargas' first-half strike put Jorge Sampaoli's side ahead. Then another mistake from the beleagured Spain 'keeper Iker Casillas presented Charles Aranguiz a chance he did not waste to secure the win.

Be good if Mass could get some time on the pitch in the final game for them.

Disked and Planted
Got home after supper Friday evening and disked my neighbor's garden, then did mine and planted tators and onions. Usually later than when I normally plant (St. Pat's Day) on the tators, but glad to have 'em in. Had a big rain come through overnight, so feel it was good timing.

15" rMBP and Gaming
I'm considering getting a 15" rMBP when Haswell comes out presumably in the next month or two. Gaming isn't what I'm basing my decision off of, but I do want to know how the current models preform.
I'd be using Bootcamp with Windows 7. I'd likely use it for casual gaming as well as games like Battlefield 4 if it could handle it.
Any tips or advice that don't involve "get a real gaming PC" are very much welcome and appreciated as I've never used a Mac for gaming.

This cave comes just before you hit the crowds of Orange Oswald. It is impressive, and huge, but unfortunately tends to seep, and the only lines that have been sent yet are along its flanks. Still, it is a great place to hang during the rain. The classic line here is Narcissus, located on the far left of the cave, which is many a gym rat's first 5.12a. The far right side houses Deep Throat (13c) and Suicide Blonde (13b), both of which are quality lines of the grade, and great complements to the 13s of the Coliseum. Probably the first line that most people notice here is the impressively tiered roof crack that splits the deepest, steepest part of the cave. This line, which is unfortunately nearly always wet, would undoubtedly be a hard 5.14 if it ever goes free. Some quality 5.11s also flank either side of the cave as its walls become more vertical.
Getting There
Continue past The Long Wall and The Satisfaction Wall and you will reach the Narcissus Cave just before reaching Orange Oswald Wall.

Kahn is saying that next year we really need to see some progress. A lot of people are thinking that next year we have to see Rambis improve this team and get us closer to the playoffs. Unfortunately I have a bad feeling about next year so I am going to call it now and invite you to do the same.
Us Minnesotans are a hopeful bunch. That explains why we keep coming back to this goddam#$d blog. When Rambis first came over, lots of people were excited about getting someone from such a winning program. The heir apparent to Jackson. But now there is a significant amount of doubt as to Rambis' coaching acumen. Is he a good coach, or is his historically bad lifetime win percentage an accurate reflection of his ability?
Last year I was pretty optimistic about this year. I thought we would see real growth, and we have seen none. By all measures we have seen absolutely no improvement in the past year. By lots of measures we have actually gotten worse. So when I look to next year I think that we are just bound to get better. We just have to! But do we? No. In fact the odds are that we are going to go through all of next year and be in the same place again.
I am predicting that at the end of next year, after we have seen an entire season's worth of "development" and coaching we are going to be almost in the exact same place. Maybe 20 wins. We will be a bad team with a historically bad coach that we suddenly realize has to go. We will be faced with the awful truth that we picked the wrong coach and wasted three years giving him a chance to show his incompetence. Rambis will be fired, probably never be a head coach again, and go down in history as yet another great player who had no clue what makes a good head coach.
So I am just throwing this out there as the seemingly likely outcome of our current situation. I know it is negative, but doesn't it sound all too accurate for the Minnesota Timberwolves?
If you feel like suggesting a possible outcome for next year the appropriate place would be in the comments section immediately following my discourse.
