MWF Best Practices - Now Available
Where Do You Think You're Going?
Nowhere! Unless you get back in school! And the only class we recommend is the STLE Metalworking Fluid Management Certificate Course. Over the years, we have attended, reported, critiqued, and recommended this class to our readers. Every year, new managers and engineers enter into the field of Metalworking Fluids. In the 1900's there was virtually no formal education offered in Metalworking Fluid Management anywhere until STLE answered the call.
Here's a great event that needs YOUR help. STLE is inviting members and their organizations to submit ideas and materials for hands-on experiments focused on important areas of research within the fields of tribology and lubrication engineering for the society's 3rd Annual Student STEM Camp to be held as part of STLE's 2015 Annual Meeting & Exhibition at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas, May 17-21. STLE hosted 40 students from Edgewater High School during the 2014 annual meeting in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (outside of Orlando) last May.
Oil-Free Protein Based Metalworking Fluids
Eberbach, Germany, October 30, 2014. With its latest invention, GELITA AG is paving the way for the production of high-performance, oil-free cooling lubricants, which are completely free from allergens and toxic substances. Instead of conventional oil, functional proteins ensure that metal-processing can be carried out smoothly. A further advantage is that unwanted oily residues are avoided.

2013 and earlier Nissan Murano Prices Paid and Buying Experience
green11 Posts: 22Test drove the Tribceca. Liked both about the same.
I like that there are not as many Tribecas on the road, but I also like that the Murano holds onto value better, and a slight edge at the pump. A few more toys on the murano as far as options (not standard but with packages), but a limited Tribeca is pretty loaded also. I do not need AWD or 3rd row seating.
Another option is that I traded a clunker which I did not mention. I would get 3500 towars the Tribeca and 4500 towards the Murano.
My loan is for 7 years at 5.6% (cerdit union), so again I like that I will not be upside down for too long with the Murano should needs or financial situatuion change.
This was really for my wife (family car but really hers) so she liked both a lot but preferred the Murano.
The bluetooth is really nice on the Nissan.
Both vehicles should last a long time. Muranos are still built in Japan, but I am sure the Tribeca made in Indiana is qulaity also. Subarus are known to last forever, probably safer than a Volvo in a crash, and legendary AWD. Too many people overlook them IMO. I can see why though as not as many delaers and the small dealers often have zero or only one in stock.
I almost just got a Tribeca though because it was easy to get below invoice. I do not mind workign a few dealers but this time as mentioend it was a real hassle.
I really sympathize for those that want a Murano becasue the good deals are not as easy to get right now in some or most parts of the country. IMO many would save as much or more by having good fianncing in line as long as they do not pull their credit too often to do so.
I belong to Alliant Credit union. Anyone can join just become member of PTA for $25. -
green11 Posts: 22I am not an expert at leasing but IMO no. You really have to work backwards to figure out interest rate and comapre to the cost of buying. Then decide how much is worth it for you to have lower and shorter payment versus buying. Subsidized leases can be sometimes be very good deals but often ownign is not the much more or longer in payments. No as many great delas on leasing, and teh good deals on leasign are often for vehicles that are not moving.
But on just price alone I think you could have done much better. -
pzanecchia Posts: 2The Nissan incentive seem to be regionalized. I am also from the Boston area and the dealer only gave $500 off the quote for incentive. There is short supply in this region and Nissan is not offering much on these end of year models. I may try to wait for the 2010's but have a clunker so will need to see how fast the money is running out. Does anyone know how the CARS money is being tracked. I cannot afford to miss out on $4500 for my nearly dead Pathfinder.
green11 Posts: 22I imagine you would have to call the government phone number for program or have a dealer check for you.
Most expect the money to be gone sometime in ealry September, but it could go faster.
I would not hold out more than a couple of weeks for the money unless demand for the program starts to slow down. -
soylentgreen Posts: 62A dealer in Fort Worth Texas offered me a Murano SL with a Premium Pkg only (along with other junk such as mats, splash guards, etc.). They're offering $27700 including the $1500 rebate. They claim this is the lowest they can go. Should I take the bait or can I trim more off of it?
manontherun Posts: 5I was looking at a loaded LE with an MSRP of $41,300. I wanted to do the 2.9% financing instead of the rebate. Would pay cash for 1/2 and finance the rest. The best I've gotten so far is $2000 off MSRP. Even though Edmunds is showing the same TMV price of about $37,800. I haven't gotten close so far. Maybe certain colors are more in demand? I'm looking for the lighter colors and beige interior.
I'm wondering if the cash for clunkers program is making the dealers hold out for folks that might have a clunker and be willing to pay close to MSRP since the $3500 or $4500 off would offset what folks have to spend out of pocket. You know, if I had a clunker and got a $4500 voucher, maybe I'd be ok paying close to sticker? I don't know. -
soylentgreen Posts: 62An update on this situ:
I finally got this dealer to get the price to $28350, with NO REBATE and with 2.9 APR. Based on truecardotcom, this is close to a "great pricing". Been haggling since and it was pretty tough; the limited supply of Muranos didn't help either. The car was supposed to come from Dallas as a dealer trade.
Talk of the sale was finalized yesterday (July 31, the last day of the promos) and went afterwards to seal the deal. After waiting for 45 mins to talk to the internet manager, the finance manager tells me "Sorry, we couldn't secure the car. We don't have anything for you to deal with today. Can I interest you in an Armada?". The internet manager didn't even bother to show his face.
I was PO'd. I don't get that. After much talking and haggling, you should expect the dealer to have something in hand to base the negotiations with. All that work and talking that we exchanged were basically null--2 hours had not even passed from me saying "I'll take it" to going to the dealer. And he even had the balls to offer me a POS Armada?
I was about to key a GTR that was on the showroom out had my wife not stopped me on our way out. -
kemmich Posts: 3my dealership and i met eye to eye today with his prompting and his meeting my offer (i think it was a good deal for my region), i think partially b/c i know that the national auto dealerships association issued a recommendation today or yesterday for dealerships to shy away today from talking cash for clunkers right now, until the money is in the dealerships' hands so to speak - not knowing for sure if it will all happen as the gov't assures.
i am leaning toward thinking this may not have been a deal he would have been so eager to see me (relatively) eye to eye on if there was someone onsight saying they wanted the model for msrp. -
whitall Posts: 187My friend wanted a Ford Edge or a Murano. She went to our dealer and they had ZERO left! There were a few at other dealers, but no more than 2 or 3 when I did an internet search. She didn't bother searching around and they are getting the Edge when the new clunker cash goes through. Ford says they sold a lot, but there are plenty available. I think the Edge will be a 2010 and Nissan hasn't put the 2010's out yet. Point is, if you are on the fence about getting one, you better go soon or you will be waiting for the 2010's for sure.
I must admit the Vista sunroof and the standard stability and traction control are nice features to have, (the Ford has) but I know it would be hard to not have my rear view camera and I sure do like my intelligent key. Plus, if I weren't being thrifty (and ONLY spending 18k to buy out my lease instead of 33k for new) I could be getting stability on a new Murano. Plus, didn't Nissan make the new fancy sunroof too? I drove my husbands Tahoe tonight and wished I had the camera. Sometimes I am afraid I'll back into something because I don't see it on the dash!
I will be jealous when she gets it as it will be and shiny with bigger wheels than mine (20") , but I have decided to buy out my lease. How spoiled am I to covet my neighbors new car when mine is only 3 and has low miles!! I guess we always want a new shiny toy.... -
warrenm1 Posts: 2Ok... Here's my questions:
1. I went to the Manhattan dealer yesterday and negotiated a Murano SL with the 360 Package (includes Leather Package, Premium Package, Floormats and splash guards) for $32,500. The lease deal is $419/42/10k. I did not get the lease factor or residual. According to Truecar, it's a "good" price... what do you think?
2. I really wanted a NAV system, but it seems impossible to find in the SL trim. Should I wait for the 2010? My current Murano lease expires at the end of October but I can return my car early thanks for an offer from NMAC.
3. Final question: Is it worth waiting to the end of the month to get a better deal?
Please advise! Thanks so much! -
jayrider Posts: 3,488don't know what msrp is but you can get a garmin gps for 2-300 and it works fine.
You need to work the numbers on the lease to see if it's good but if it includes taxes and all fees it's seems decent. A good estimate of a good lease is about 1% of msrp before taxes. Those are hard to come by but it is a good target. You only got 10k miles per year -- is that enough? -
soylentgreen Posts: 62It's been proven official (at least from what I have experienced here), that dealers are refusing to negotiate below sticker due to what they call "scarce availability" of the Muranos. A couple of dealers actually wanted 500 over sticker! :mad:
A dealer found me the car I want and before I even hung up the phone, he warned me that they are only taking sticker price :mad: :mad:
Even the slow selling colors, the blues and blacks SLs, they're not even going below sticker. I guess they can always find suckers who would pay full price for a Murano.
So the waiting period for the MY 2010 begins.... -
jayrider Posts: 3,488The murano is an emotional car purchase. Enough people who like them and want them buy them. There are so many other choices of similar cars -- if I hadn't got a great deal last october I would have moved on to something else in a heartbeat. They have cut production of 09's and will keep raising prices on 2010's throughout the production year. They will limit inventories to simulate a shortage and zero in on the ga-ga buyers who "just have to have one" Those folks aren't posting on edmunds. After the prices have been raised a few more grand on the 2010's there will be a big murano-rama sale where there will be big rebates of $500. Better reserve your spot in line now -- and don't forget the checkbook.
dmbfn41 Posts: 8It appears that most of the dealers in Chicagoland are no longer willing to deal on remaining Murano's. Rosen in Gurnee is still trying to push the 6k mile demo at $35k.
We might just wait for the Cash for Clunkers deal to end and 2010's to hit the lots.
This is a response i got from one of the dealers:
The Murano inventory out there is very limited. We are selling every new car and truck $500 over invoice minus the rebate. -
jayrider Posts: 3,488Supply and demand -- when things were bad - the dealers were making great deals.As soon as I saw the clunker deal I new the discounts and rebates were going to be scarce. The show rooms are crowded -- some are dealing straight up but not nissan dealers. People think that when the clunker deal is over it will become a buyers market and things will go back to the firesale days. I think the manufacturers have learned a lesson this time and inventory will be kept in line with demand --- the incredible discounts will be gone forever on vehicles in high demand.
dmbfn41 Posts: 8For a Murano with SL AWD with Leather, Premium, Splash, and 360 - MRRP of $36,155, Bommarito would not come lower than $500 over invoice.
From Bommarito:
The Murano is in very high demand with very low inventory and the invoice on this model with the 360 package it $32,991 so I am only asking $500 over invoice. If you can get another dealer to offer you this very rare model and lose money to sell it to you then you are doing fantastic. Let me know when they change their price, try to low ball you on your trade, or just simply do not honor their price.
We're are just going to wait until the C4C program is over and start looking again. I'm curious to see what other quotes people are getting these days.

School District 2 School Board trustees granted preliminary approval for next year's elementary and high school budgets Monday.
For the first time in at least eight years, the proposed budgets include reserve funds exceeding 5 percent of the total budget, as specified by district policy, Chief Financial Officer Leo Hudetz said.
The budgets include pay raises for substitute teachers to the tune of $216,000 at the elementary level and $259,000 for high schools.
Hudetz told trustees the daily rate for substitutes hasn't been increased in more than a decade.
Substitutes teaching within their certification in elementary schools will receive $85 per day, up from the current rate of $75, business manager Patricia Hubbard said.
The preliminary budgets also include increases in the amounts allocated for capital improvements, more than $800,000 in total. Those line items have been reduced in recent years, Hubbard said.
District officials are still waiting to see how the state tax settlement reached in June with Charter Communications will impact SD2's revenue.
Charter is one of the top five taxpayers in the district, Hudetz said. He expects SD2 will receive a lump sum from Charter's back taxes, but the decreased taxable value going forward could mean increased school mills assessed on local taxpayers.
"This has a real impact on our district," Hudetz said.
The board will vote on final budgets for the upcoming year in August, after a series of hearings are held.
Trustees on Monday solidified membership for the 26-person committee that will propose adjustments to the district's elementary school boundaries and agreed to have four trustees serve as observers to the process.
However, the board sent the proposed criteria intended to guide the redistricting work back into committee, as trustees differed on how the group should incorporate socioeconomic diversity into its recommendations.
Trustee Kathy Aragon said she thinks the redistricting group should seek to maximize student diversity where possible, but said the criteria don't reflect that priority.
"I think this is really important," she said. "It's important for education. It's important for our community."
Trustee Teresa Stroebe said increasing diversity shouldn't result in busing more students.
Discussion among trustees over the question of whether the redistricting group should seek to maximize or simply examine diversity lasted for more than 20 minutes, before Superintendent Terry Bouck requested that any change to the criteria should first involve the consulting group hired to oversee the process.
The school board must ultimately approve changes to school boundaries. The process is expected to take at least nine months.
Also on Monday, the board authorized Bouck to hold talks with city officials regarding the future of a plot of land adjacent to Cottonwood Park on the West End, which the district previously purchased as a potential site for a new elementary school.
The district entered into an agreement to buy the land at Cottonwood Park in 2007, with the stipulation that SD2 begin construction efforts on the site by 2017.
If the district doesn't build at Cottonwood by 2017, it must sell the property back to the city for the original purchase price.
"It's a really good return policy, better than you'll find at any retail," SD2 legal counsel Jeff Weldon said.
Bouck suggested that the prospect of securing additional bond dollars for construction of another elementary by 2017 is unlikely.
He also suggested to trustees that the nearby site where one of two new middle schools will be built, at West 56th Street and Grand Avenue, has room for an additional elementary school and may be a better construction option.
Bouck said he'd like to hold a public hearing on the Cottonwood land, noting that planning for the site has been a "hot button" issue in the past.

It seemed only natural to make my own homemade blush after trying my hand at mascara, lip balm, and bronzer. But I really didn't think about doing it until someone left a comment requesting it. (See how useful your comments are!) But I really loved how this all natural homemade blush turned out. It's perfect to "awaken" my sometimes ghostly white face.
Of course I don't need to tell you why homemade blush is a good idea, right? Besides putting the power back in your hands, you avoid any nasty chemical toxins that may be commercial brands. Plus, like so many of my recipes, it's easy.
Time to experiment
Keep in mind that with all makeup there is a continuum of "what works" for every individual. This is especially true when we start making things like bronzer, blush, or foundation. What works for me may not work for you. Luckily, it's pretty easy to adjust and adapt this recipe to work with your skin tones and desired outcome.
With that in mind, you should probably know that I'm extremely pale. And I'm not a huge makeup person. Therefore, my blush of choice is light and subtle. So rather than give you an exact recipe, I'm giving you the jumping off point to find your perfect shade. Are you ready?
All Natural Homemade Blush
arrowroot powder
hibiscus powder (like this)
cinnamon (optional)
Start with a base of arrowroot powder, about 1 Tbs. Add in the hibiscus powder one teaspoon at a time until you get the desired color. Add cinnamon for a little depth and glow.
*Note: Hibiscus powder gives a nice subtle pink glow, but for some it may seem too subtle. You could also try Alkanet Root powder which has a richer, more reddish, tone. But in either case, add the color gradually. You can always add more arrowroot powder to lighten back up, but if you get too heavy handed you'll end up with a whole lot of blush on your hand.
Think getting real food the table is hard? I used to, too. Well, my friend, let me introduce you to Real Plans. A brand new way to think about meal planning that makes getting healthy, delicious food to your table easy. I am absolutely in love with it, and I know you will be, too. Check it out here.
NOTE: Due to an never-ending cesspool of spam, I have made the tough decision to close comments 14 days after the original posting of all posts. Sorry to anyone left out of the conversation. I just needed to spend less time monitoring spam and more time with my kids. Best wishes, Robin!

Suleimaniya FC appoints \Sardar Salih as second coach.
Summary: "We officially agreed on everything except the value of the contract and monthly pay,The Kurdish Globe Suleimaniya Football Club Finance Manager Ayoub Aziz announced the club's management board had appointed Sardar Salih, a former trainer of the Peshmarga Football Club, as the new coach to lead Suleimaniya in next season's Kurdistan premier football league.
Aziz noted Suleimaniya will have two football teams next year: The team that plays in Kurdistan premier league will be trained by Salih, while Khasraw Groun will lead the team that plays in the Iraqi league.
"All the management board members agreed on having two teams for next season. We all voted for Salih to train Suleimaniya for the Kurdistan league. We tried to create a situation where Salih could do this comfortably," said Aziz.
Suleimaniya's results in the Kurdistan league were good under the supervision of Groun, who decided to only coach Suleimaniya in the Iraqi league due time constraints."I need to try to work hard to improve the team's results and performance in the [Kurdistan] league," said Salih, adding that his main objective is to make the team stronger.
Although Salih has been officially recognized as Suleimaniya's coach, no details have been disclosed about the new role or pay.
"We officially agreed on everything except the value of the contract and monthly pay, which, I believe, aren't a big deal for either side. What matters to me is that the club has given me full power to make the required changes in the squad to improve the team," noted Salih Salih hopes he will succeed in his new post and can do for Suleimaniya what he did for his former team, Peshmarga.
Salih previously coached Peshmarga, which was second in Kurdistan league twice and was once runner-up for the Kurdistan Cup.

02.21.14 Revolution acquires forward Teal Bunbury from Sporting KC
Revs pick up young, dynamic forward via trade
TUCSON, Ariz. – The New England Revolution today acquired forward Teal Bunbury (Twitter: @Tealbunb) from Sporting Kansas City via trade. In exchange, the Revs have sent their natural first-round draft pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and allocation money to Sporting KC. Bunbury is expected to join the Revolution in Tucson later this week.
Bunbury, 23, is entering his fifth MLS season after Sporting KC drafted him fourth overall in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. In 89 career appearances in Kansas City, Bunbury made 48 starts while scoring 19 goals and adding seven assists.
"We've been very open about our desire to add some additional attacking players to our roster ahead of the season and we believe Teal is a player who can make the sort of impact we need," New England general manager Michael Burns said. "He's a talented, young player who can add a dynamic element to our system, and we're looking forward to getting him into camp and integrated into our group as soon as possible."
Following a five-goal, two-assist rookie campaign in 2010, Bunbury scored a career-high nine goals and added a career-best three assists in 2011 while tying for the team lead in goals.
After his breakout sophomore campaign, Bunbury saw limited MLS action in 2012 and 2013 because of international call-ups and injury. He spent much of the early spring 2012 with the U.S. Under-23 (Olympic) team ahead of and during Olympic qualifying, and then suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Sporting KC's game on Aug. 26, 2012. He later returned to the field on June 12, 2013 in a U.S. Open Cup match, 10 months after the injury. Before tearing his ACL in a match against New York, Bunbury made 22 appearances, scored five goals and added one assist in 2012. After returning from the injury, he collected one assist in 12 appearances last year.
With Sporting KC, Bunbury won the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and MLS Cup 2013.
Born in Canada, Bunbury is a dual U.S. and Canadian citizen. He played on Canada's Under-17 and Under-20 teams before declaring for the United States' senior national team. He has four caps for the U.S., making his full international debut against South Africa on Nov. 17, 2010 under former head coach Bob Bradley. He later scored his first senior international goal on Jan. 22, 2011, notching the Americans' only goal in a 1-1 draw against Chile. His first international assist came in his last appearance on Jan. 25, 2012, against Panama. Bunbury also saw time with the U.S. Under-23 (Olympic) team during qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Under current U.S. National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Bunbury has been called into three training camps: September 2011, October 2011 and January 2012.
Bunbury played two seasons at college powerhouse Akron, helping the Zips to the 2009 College Cup championship match and winning the Hermann Trophy as the nation's top collegiate player that same year. In 48 appearances spanning two seasons at Akron, Bunbury scored 23 goals and added eight assists, including a 17-goal campaign in 2009.
One of Major League Soccer's first-ever second-generation players, Bunbury's father – Alex – is a former member of the Canadian National Team (1986-1997) and the Kansas City Wizards (1999-2000, now Sporting KC).
Season tickets for the 2014 New England Revolution season are on sale and start at $342 for 18-game packages. Four- and six-game plans are also available. Call 1-877-GET-REVS or visit revolutionsoccer.net for more information about these plans or any other ticket option.

07.25.13 Christos Defends US Over-30 Crown Adria Just Misses Out on Cup Double
The United States Adult Soccer Association concluded its National Cup Finals with winners declared for the 2013 Men's US Open, Amateur, Over-30 & Under-23 Cups. The competition took part at the STAR Complex in San Antonio, Texas over the weekend of 19 July. More than 200 teams from among member state associations of the four USASA regions around the country qualified through state and regional rounds to reach the final.
In the US Over-30 Cup, Christos FC of Maryland (Region I) successfully kept hold of the Gerhard Mengel Cup. It started with a 4:2 semifinal win over FC Corona of Kansas (Region II) despite falling behind on an early goal. The other semifinal saw
Region IV entry Nomads FC (California South) easily defeat Kickers FC O-30 (Florida/Region IV) 4:1. Christos started the title match in the same fashion, giving up an early goal to the Nomads but finished once again with a 4:2 victory to become the fifth side to repeat in the Over-30 championship.
RWB Adria of Illinois (Region II) showed their nine lives over the weekend in its attempt to take home the cup double in the US Open & Amateur Cups. In the Amateur semifinal against NY Greek American Atlas (Eastern New York/Region I), Adria took a first half lead to only give it up in the final minutes. A 2:1 edge in extra time put them into the final to meet ASC New Stars of Texas South (Region III), who advanced in penalty rounds after drawing 2:2 against Lazio FC (California North/Region IV). The final played on Saturday night saw the Stars take the lead 1:0, which they held to the final minutes. A penalty call in favor of the Chicago side put the match into extra time. It appeared to go to penalty rounds but another last minute penalty call gave Adria the Amateur title.
Adria looked to repeat their fortune in the US Open Cup. If successful, Adria would become the fifth side in US Soccer history to accomplish this unique double. The semifinal against New Jersey's Icon FC (Region I) was settled in regular time, 5:2. In the other semifinal, Rayados (North Texas/Region III) battled PSA Elite of California South (Region IV) 2:2. The club from Houston went through on penalty rounds. The final was a back and forth affair ending in a 2:2 tie. In the first extra time period, Rayados spoiled Adria's attempt at the double and were able to hold on 3:2 to take the US Open Cup.
The US Under-23 Cup final featured the last two champions, 2012 cup holder Real Caribe (Eastern New York/Region I) and the 2011 champion Railhawks of North Carolina (Region III). The team from Long Island fell behind on an early goal against Region II entry GLSA Illinois but were able to go through to the final with a 4:2 victory. The Railhawks defeated South Sound FC (Washington/Region IV) 3:1 in the other semifinal. In the final, the Railhawks scored early and kept Caribe at bay to take back the title with a 4:1 win.
US Open Cup
The US Open Cup was first played in the 1913-1914 season when it was called the National Challenge Cup. The winners were awarded the Dewar Cup, donated by Sir Thomas Dewar in 1912 for the promotion of soccer in America. In 1999, USASA established the Werner Fricker US Open Cup to recognize the champion among its own participants.

06.21.13 USASA Region I - Regional Cup Finals - Results
The Region I finals of the USASA National Cups were played this past weekend at the Ukrainian American Sports Center in Horsham, Pennsylvania, with two sides repeating last season's success and two more qualifying for the 2014 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. All four regional champions advance to the USASA National Cup Finals that will be held between 19 to 21 July at the Star Complex in San Antonio, Texas, as they seek titles for the US Open, Amateur, Over-30 & Under-23 Cups. Region I had more than 100 teams competing among its member state associations to reach this final round.
The first title match on Sunday pitted defending regional and national champion Christos FC of Maryland against JC Eagles of Eastern New York for the US Over-30 Cup. Val Texiera's 23rd minute goal gave Christos the lead that they held onto for the half. The second half saw Christos pour it on with goals from Pat Crawford, Todd Hicks & Tarik Walker. Jesse Haislip recorded the shutout for the champions who look to repeat last year's feat at the National Cup Finals.
The US Amateur Cup final was next on slate that included an extra bonus with the winner not only advancing to the national finals but also securing a spot in next year's Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. The two finalists featured the NY Greek-American Atlas of Eastern New York and the Italian American Sport Club of Western New York. The contest started closely with Chris Megaloudis putting the Greek-Americans ahead on 26th minute mark but then seeing Ngwese Ebangwese responding three minutes later to even it off. Stephen Barea got the game winner for the Greek-Americans on the 37th minute while Megaloudis completed a second half hat trick to finish the result at 5:1.
The US Open Cup final between Icon FC of New Jersey and Mass Premier Soccer of Massachusetts also determined the region's other place in the 2014 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Mass Premier led 1:0 at halftime with a 19th minute strike from Roy Sandeman. The Massachusetts side was in good shape to hold onto that lead as an Icon player was ejected in the 70th minute for a second yellow card. But the New Jersey club fought back when 4 minutes later Nelson Becerra evened the score and then Kevin Zalewski put it away in the 83rd to send Icon to the Werner Fricker US Open Cup semifinal next month.
Saturday saw group play in the U23 Cup with defending champion Real Caribe Soccer Club of Eastern New York winning Group A and the Maryland Bays taking Group B. Advancing to the Sunday semifinals were Junior Lone Star FC of NPSL and UGH Fire of Eastern Pennsylvania. Caribe defeated the Fire 2:0 while Lone Star edged the Bays 2:1 to set up a replay of last year's U23 final.
Lone Star got off to a very quick start two minutes into the match with a goal from Joe-Joe Jappah. Diron Duah tied the match on the 50th minute and then Yannick Laroche gave Caribe the lead in the 65th. Ansumana Kromah made it 2:2 by scoring 5 minutes later. The match winner started with an 82nd minute run from the left side by Eugene Heershcap whose cross met Keston George with a perfect header that went just underneath the cross bar. Real Caribe go to San Antonio hoping to return the US U23 Cup back to New York as they seek to defend last season's national title.
The USASA National Cup Finals will have the respective winners of the four regions play in the semifinals to determine who meets for the championship matches.
US Open Cup
The US Open Cup was first played in the 1913-1914 season when it was called the National Challenge Cup. The winners were awarded the Dewar Cup, donated by Sir Thomas Dewar in 1912 for the promotion of soccer in America. In 1999, USASA established the Werner Fricker US Open Cup to recognize the champion among its own participants.
The two finalists took part the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, which includes other amateur and professional teams of US Soccer. Icon FC made it to the second round.

Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy Note 8.0, but they won't be satisfied until there's no stone unturned for Mobile World Congress. In a disappointingly dry press release the company debuted the Samsung HomeSync, an Android-powered set top box that combines Google TV features and a home media server. Major bullet points include a full terabyte of storage, WiFi and Ethernet access, and an interface powered by Jelly Bean (presumably 4.1) with full access to the Google Play Store.
We've seen it leaked a few times, but Samsung has beaten the Mobile World Congress rush and officially unveiled the Galaxy Note 8.0. The device is basically a super-sized version of the Note 2 smartphone, right down to the physical home button (a first for Samsung's post-Android 3.0 tablets), call capability, and vertical orientation.
The screen is an 8-inch 1280x800 panel, and it's unfortunately a TFT LCD - I had been hoping that they would make it Super AMOLED, and create a spiritual successor to the sadly underutilized Galaxy Tab 7.7.
Don't let the title fool you: this app isn't a WiFi-exclusive version of Skype. That would be silly. Instead, it's an easy access app for Skype's network of partnered WiFi access points, which the company claims is more than a million strong in various airports, cafes, and train stations. There's nothing stopping you from using them normally (or using the standard Skype VOIP app), but Skype WiFi will quickly connect and authenticate your Android-powered device.
Bringing to market a simplistic, clean take on the puzzler genre, Appxplore released Sporos today. The concept behind Sporos is simple: place sporos (which, by the way, is some sort of "special seed") on the board, watch the adjacent rows or columns light up, and repeat until every cell on the board is illuminated.
Seems easy, right? It would be, except that the levels get progressively harder, with more complex cell patterns, and you've only got a certain number of sporos to work with, each able to light up a certain set of directions.
In case you hadn't heard, back in August of last year Twitter changed the rules for their API, limiting developers to 100,000 individual user tokens for outside apps (or 200% of then-totals, if the app already had more than 100,000 users). To say the change was controversial would be an understatement. Falcon Pro, a favorite among Android Twitter users, has hit the limit. New users cannot log into Twitter via Falcon Pro.
Back when Google unveiled multi-user support with Android 4.2, one of the first question on many users' minds was how will root access be handled on secondary user accounts? It was a short answer, actually: it wouldn't. Superuser managers like SuperSU simply wouldn't run on anything aside from the primary user.
However, Android developer Chainfire – the mastermind behind SuperSU – knew that it could be done. It's been clear that he has kept this venture on the forefront of his mind, and he's finally broken the barrier.
While being a kid 10, 20, or even 30 years ago was a fun time, there's no denying how great it must be to be a little one these days. Digital devices have expanded both children's entertainment and learning to nearly endless possibilities. It's not out of the ordinary for parents to let their children play with their smartphones and/or tablets, but it's becoming increasingly common to see children with their own devices, specifically designed for them.
Well, this is exciting. We knew it was only a matter of time before El Goog decided to get into the music streaming biz, and according to the Wall Street Journal, the company is currently in talks with several record labels to fire up a Spotify-esque service.
If true, the service is said to become part of Google Music, which only makes sense. Currently, Music allows users upload their own music libraries and stream them from any web browser or Android device, and the addition of a streaming service would likely give users access to unlimited music outside of that collection for a monthly fee.
When it comes to music creation, modification, digital instruments effects, and the like, iOS has always been overwhelmingly ahead of Android. There's one simple reason for this – it's not because of hardware limitation. It's not because developers and effects manufacturers don't want to to support Android. It's because of the audio-in latency – it's simply too high. For those who may not know, audio latency is "a short period of delay (usually measured in milliseconds) between when an audio signal enters and when it emerges from a system." In this case, it's the amount of time it takes to get the signal from an instrument (or similar creation device) through the Android OS.
Welcome to the roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Play Store or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so.

Home : Brands : Dr. Michelle Copeland : Dr. Michelle Copeland Rewind Eye Formula
Formerly known as Reparative Formula. Same great formula, brand new name.
"I'm trying not to get too excited, but I am convinced this is the best antioxidant I have seen yet," said Dr. Leslie Bauman, associate professor of dermatology at the University of Miami in the January 2004 Issue of Allure.
New breakthrough anti-wrinkle complex helps erase fine lines an wrinkles around eye, mouth and neck. A proprietary, unique blend of the most effective anti-aging agents (grape seed extract, argireline, biopeptide CL, soy, lipoic acid, DMAE, Vitamin E, ubiquinone a powerful antioxidant) has been carefully selected and formulated to stimulate cell renewal. Also contains ingredients to lighten dark circles under the eyes. Effects can be seen immediately and continue with daily use.
In the October 2004 issue of "Allure" magazine, Neil Sadick, clinical professor of dermatology at the Weil Medical School at Cornell University said, "Most antioxidants do not have scientific data to back up their claims. Idebenone does-its ability to protect cells and inhibit inflammation has been proven."
Fragrance free. Not tested on animals.
Beautiful Science:
Idebenone and its natural parent compound Ubiquinone are among the 5 leading antioxidants. Antioxidants protect cells from environmental damage, improve the appearance of fine lines, reduce dryness, and smooth skin texture.
Apply a small amount around the eyes, fine lines of the lips and creases on the neck after using other Dr. Michelle Copeland products. Gently massage into skin. Use before moisturizer both morning and evening.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.

Casual Corner Online: Classy and Classic Career and Casual Clothes for Ladies
Feb 18, 2005
Full Review
I recently relocated to a new area and have found myself back in the job market once again. As an educator, I want to present the most polished and presentable image of myself to potential employers without spending a fortune. I also want to find clothes that I feel comfortable wearing outside of the workplace as well.
I am still relatively young, and I have found that many stores offering career wear and casual wear for ladies often cater to a more buttoned down crowd. Many of the styles are stiff and uptight in appearance even somewhat matronly. I cannot imagine myself wearing these styles to work, let alone outside of it.
I want clothes that are both professional and stylish at the same time. I prefer styles that are classic instead of overly trendy. I am a petite individual, and I am also looking for clothes which are figure flattering. I do not want to appear as though I am drowning in yards of baggy material
I hate being stuck in traffic and dealing with crowds when I go out to shop. Where in the world would I possibly find clothes that meet my demands? Clothes that I can wear with confidence in or out of the workplace? Casual Corner Online, of course!
Site Setup:
Casual Corner Online is an excellent site. The setup is simple, and extremely easy to navigate. I have used the site several times lately with no problems or glitches.
There are no fancy buttons or flashy logos on Casual Corner Online. The site is clean and elegant, much like the classic clothing you will find online or at their brick and mortar stores.
Everything on the site is clearly laid out in a fashion that makes the site very easy to use.
Across the very top of the site you will find four important links. These are labeled Sign In, Register, My Account, and Customer Service.
Below the links above you will find two search boxes which make it easy to find an item for which you are looking. You can choose to shop by category (such as suits, casual, etc.) or by item number.
The categories clothing items and accessories are clearly labeled below the search boxes. There are eight different categories from which you can select to shop. When you move your cursor over each category, there is a drop down telling you what you will find in each one. It cannot get much simpler than that! What are the categories and what might you find in each one? Lets explore!
Categories: So Many to Choose From!
Career: Here you will find great work appropriate clothes. You can select from sweaters and knits, tops and tees, blouses and skirts, jackets and vests, pants and skirts and more! You will find clothes that are comfortable, stylish, and classic in this category. These clothes are perfect for the professional woman! The classic styles here are sure to last for years to come!
Casual: Here you can select from the same categories as those in the career wear section (such as sweaters and knits, etc.), but the clothes are a little less tailored. They are more laid back. You will find perfect weekend or going out clothes in the casual section. This is the category I shop from the most. I absolutely love the sweaters offered in this section, and I have ordered several.
Suits: If it is a suit you are looking for, you will find it here. You can shop for a matching suit or select from separates such as jackets, pants, and skirts. Again, this section is perfect for the professional woman. I have some separates from this section, and they are very well made. They hold up for years to come, and never go out of style. Basic colors are offered, such as navy, black and white. You can also find other seasonal color selections.
Collectibles: In collectibles you will find a classic selection of jackets, pants and skirts in classic office, comfort, and wool knits. They are made to last and mix and match. These are timeless pieces that you can hold onto. Selections in this section change periodically.
Accessories: If you are looking for accessories to complete your polished look, they can be found here. You will find handbags, ponchos, scarves, and more in this section.
Shoes: Here you can select from categories such as career and dress, Italian made, Casual, and boots. All the shoes appear to be very well made, and most of what is carried is leather. You can find shoes here to match any outfit.
Jewelry: Select from brooches, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, sterling and more! You will find a good selection of classic costume and sterling silver jewelry in this section.
Collections: Not to be confused with collectibles, this section offers interchangeable clothing pieces in collections with lovely names such as Jolie Paris and Resort. Offerings are seasonal and can be found in lovely colors.
In order to make your online shopping experience easier, you may register with Casual Corner Online. All you need to do is click on the register link at the top and fill in information such as your full name address, and email address. You will also need to create a password. You can register for Casual Corner or Petite Sophisticate (a sister store) here. Registering allows you use of an online address book, saves your order history, and allows you to receive notice about special promotions! I really love receiving emails and cards in the mail to save an extra percent off of a purchase!
Registering is optional, but it is a great idea. Upon future visits, you just simply sign in to your account. You can view your account status online.
Checking Out:
I have found that checking out at Casual Corner Online is easy. The site is secure, and I have had no problems with my orders going through. I have had no problems with orders being doubled, as is sometimes the problem on other sites. They accept all major credit cards, as well as their own card, called the Privileges Card.
The Privileges Card entitles its holder to a five percent discount every time, as well as special promotional discounts. The rate is high, like many other store cards, but I usually use it to get the discount and pay it off right away.
It is easy to use coupon codes at checkout. I recently had a birthday coupon for ten dollars off, and I used it with ease at checkout. I got a sweater for only $14.95 after my privileges and birthday discount! That includes my shipping and handling!
Shipping and Handling Costs:
The shipping and handling costs are not unreasonable. I believe I recently paid only $4.99 or so in S&H for the sweater I ordered. On larger orders the shipping is usually reasonable as well. I believe it is calculated by the cost of the order, but I am not sure.
Casual Corner Online can be a bit pricey if you pay full price, but it seems like there is always a sale. Suits and items in the collections are the most expensive items usually averaging about $79.00 and up per piece. The sweaters and other items can be expensive when not on sale. During sales items can be found for as low as $19.99 (and even lower!). If you have a coupon or a privileges card you can save a bundle!
Customer Service:
I have had no dealings with customer service, as I have been fully satisfied with my experience at Casual Corner. There is a link for Customer Service and they may be contacted via email or by phone. I am sure the service is excellent, as I have always been treated well in the brick and mortar stores.
I have not had to return any items from my online purchase, and I have been most pleased with the quality. Casual Corner Online does make returns easy, however, buy leaving the store price tags on the clothes. You can return the items at the brick and mortar stores for a refund or exchange, or you may send them back. I would not want to pay shipping costs, so I would probably choose to return them to the store.
My Experience:
My experience with Casual Corner Online has been a pleasant one. I am terribly happy with the clothing items I have ordered, and I have received numerous complements on them.
The sweater I purchased recently is a cowl necked sweater in a marled turquoise yarn, and it is beautiful. It is soft, soft, soft! The price was exceptional, even without my discount. My only regret is that I only ordered one sweater and not other colors!
Before moving, I taught middle school art. I had an outfit from Casual Corner Online that I wore during spirit week on what was called Dress to Impress day. The outfit was so cute and classy. The students said things like Wow, Miss L, you are the only teacher that knows how to dress! Now that is a compliment especially from middle school kids who often love to berate!
I feel polished and classy when I am wearing clothes from Casual Corner Online. The site makes it easy to purchase a matching outfit for those of us who are challenged!
I love Casual Corner Online and I would recommend it to any lady looking for great work and casual outfits!
Across the bottom of the site you can find links to information about the Privileges Card, Gift Card, About Us (about Casual Corner), and a Store Locator. You can also join the email list in order to receive alerts about sales, etc. There is a 1-800 number for Casual Corner if you would feel more comfortable speaking with a human being.

text: So, I just heard about this new thing called GABA. Another name for it is HGH -- Human Growth Hormone. Apparently it is some sort of amino acid that you take as a powder at night befire bed. It then releases this HGH and supposedly improves fat loss, keeps lean muscle, and a bunch of other stuff: better sleeping, better sex, more energy, etc. I am curious to know if anyone out there has tried anything like this, and what your results were! Thanks!
