CARSON, Calif. -- Marcelo Sarvas is no longer a member of the LA Galaxy, but the Brazilian midfielder who was a major part in two MLS Cup titles spoke to LAGalaxy.com about his tenure with the team.
In my exclusive sit down with Sarvas, the Brazilian speaks about his arrival and what brought him to the club as well as his relationship with the fans and teammates. However, not every bit was included in my own written piece or the video interview.
Below were some excerpts from my exclusive sit down with Sarvas.
(On replacing David Beckham in the midfield…)
SARVAS: I came to a team that was a championship and where every player was good especially in the midfield where we had Beckham and Juni. I worked so hard to get a spot but that year, I found my spot on the team because of the Olympic games where David was very busy. Then I started to play and the team started to win games—not because of me but because we were good. We then reached the playoffs and I started to play more and get more credit. That was year was the last year for David and then me and Juni started to play every game. It was a pleasure to replace David but, of course, it's hard to fill his shoes. You can't say anything about David and what he made for soccer. Then me and Juni started to work together and people started to see how we work together. This year was the best year for me for sure.
(On his mindset and why he was such a fan favorite…)
SARVAS: There are a lot of people who pay to make that day special for their family and their kids and that means that you have to give everything that you have. That doesn't mean that you're perfect every day, but they have to see that you're trying and you fight for them. Now I go to Colorado with the same mentality to play for the people over there.
(On the goal against Seattle…)
SARVAS: I don't know if I was preparing myself to leave the club because no one knows how negotiations can go. But things started to build up during and after the season and I was starting to feel like this was my last year with the Galaxy. When I scored that goal, it was like I was saying good bye to everyone and that's why I felt that emotion. Even though we were going to the final, on my mind was that it was probably my last goal. Everything came very fast."
(On when he started to feel like he was going to leave…)
SARVAS: Everyone knows the salary cap situation in MLS and everyone wishes for more which is normal. You have a team that is successful and every player wants more because your price rises. That's normal in every club, but we know how it is here. We know that the Galaxy are always working with a tight budget so in my mind, I felt like we couldn't reach what we wanted. Also, I think that every player and athlete needs a challenge. "Every player and every athlete needs a new challenge. I've been here for three years and while it's natural to get settled, I always try to look over those emotions. It was time for a new challenge to get the best for me. Last year, I showed my best here and now I think I need something more to get the best from me. This move came at a good time for me.
(On the importance of getting a new contract…)
SARVAS: I think that with a contract you have to fight for the best for you and your family and that's what I did. I'm 33, it's no secret and I know that I'm going to be retired in three or four or five years. I'm prepared to play more with the way that I take care of myself, but the end will come soon, and my family has to be settled. Soccer doesn't give the same opportunities to all players that are financially secure so I had to fight for my family.
(On what it'll be like playing the Galaxy…)
SARVAS: "I don't know. It'll be nice to play against the guys that I know and it'll be a real special moment for me."
CARSON, Calif. -- U.S. Soccer have chosen to award their highest honor to LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena.
On Thursday, the Galaxy boss was named the 2014 receipient of the Werner Fricker Builder Award. The award is the highest honor that an individual can receive from the U.S. Soccer Federation and is given only to those who have "worked tirelessly on furthering the interest of the sport of soccer without regard to personal recognition or advaancement."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy made a splash last week when they moved into the third spot in the MLS allocation order by dealing fan favorite Marcelo Sarvas to the Colorado Rapids, but with preseason training camp scheduled to begin later this week, LA have yet to make a move to bolster their roster.
In an interview with MLSsoccer.com's Scott French, Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena was mum on the team's plans to add a new piece to the puzzle, simply stating that he is "looking to make the team better."
LA Galaxy Homegrown Player Bradford Jamieson IV played the hero with a late goal that put the U.S. Under-20 national team through to the U-20 CONCACAF Championship playoff stage.
The young American squad struggled offensively throughout the match with Jamieson even having a chance saved off the line in the 49th minute. However, Jamieson came through in the end as he found himself on the end of a Paul Arriola cross after a U.S. breakaway that gave Tab Ramos' squad second place in Group A. The Americans finish second in Group A behind Panama.
"I'm very excited obviously. A lot of us put our heads together and we won the game," Jamieson told Fox Sports after the match. "In the end, I think that we were rewarded for our hard work."
The U.S. will now play either Honduras or El Salvador on Jan. 24 with a spot in the this summer's U-20 World Cup on the line.
The annual Major League Soccer All-Star Game is heading to the Rockies.
The league announced on Wednesday in Denver that the 20th annual MLS All-Star Game will take place at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the home of the Colorado Rapids in Commerce City, Colorado on July 29th. The opposition for the MLS All-Stars has yet to be confirmed. Colorado last hosted the All-Star Game in 2007 when the MLS All-Stars defeated Scottish side Celtic 2-0.
Unlike past years, the date of the All-Star Game could benefit the Galaxy who play their final match before the All-Star break on the road against the Houston Dynamo on July 25 before returning to action on Aug. 1 in Commerce City against the Rapids.

CARSON, Calif. -- Dan Gargan entered the 2014 preseason unsure if he'll have a job and now a year later, he's signed a deal that will keep him in LA another year.
The club announced that they have re-signed the 32-year-old defender twho played in a total of 35 games in all competitions as the Galaxy won a fifth MLS Cup title, to a multi-year deal. A veteran outside back, Gargan played primarily on the right side of defense in 2014 while also seeing some action along the left side when needed.
Once preseason begins, Gargan will again likely slot in as the back-up right back behind fellow veteran A.J. DeLaGarza while serving as the primary right back when DeLaGarza is placed in the middle. Unlikely last year, however, he'll likely face compeition from youngster Oscar Sorto who is currently in camp with the U.S. National Team.
Jurgen Klinsmann's decision to call-up a heaping of Under-23 eligible players may have been the reason that LA Galaxy left back Robbie Rogers was not on the U.S. National Team's January camp roster, but the USMNT boss insists that the door is open for the LA defender to return to the U.S. fold.
Following a stellar 2014 season that saw Rogers rejuvenate his career with a move to left back, the 27-year-old was considered a frontrunner to earn a call-up for the annual January camp at StubHub Center. However with Klinsmann calling 11 players who are age-eligible for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero, Klinsmann said that Rogers could not make the cut.
"There was a thought about Robbie," Klinsmann told reporters on Wednesday. "He had a good season, also, obviously, a winning season. The situation is just, and this is what this kind of camp ended up with was: How can we develop the maximum amount of Olympic team players at the same time? If it was purely senior guys, Robbie would be in that camp."
Rogers was an Olympian himself the last time U.S. qualified back in 2008 and has complied 18 appearances for the senior team, which included making the 30-man preliminary roster ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Although Klinsmann did not room for Rogers this January, the U.S. head coach provided assurances that the LA Galaxy player remains on his radar -- possibly for this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup.
"I said, 'Ah, it's a pity not to give that guy that a chance,'" Klinsmann said. "On the other side, we said, 'You know what, it is important to have 12, 13 Olympic team players in here, because we've got to build them. The sooner the better.' And that's why some players were left out, and Robbie was one of them. But there's always definitely an open door."
PHILADELPHIA -- The LA Galaxy dealt one of chief contributors to their 2014 MLS Cup title run on Thursday by trading Marcelo Sarvas to the Colorado Rapids, but the club now appears primed to replace the departing Brazilian with another top tier talent.
LA dealt Sarvas and an international roster spot to the Rapids on Thursday in a move that saw the Galaxy move up to the third spot on the league's allocation order. Reports have swirled that move will allow the Galaxy to acquire U.S. international Sacha Kljestan, a player who has long been on the club's radar. According to ESPN FC's Jeff Carlisle, the deal should allow the Galaxy the freedom to acquire Kljestan or any other returning U.S. international as neither the two teams ahead of them in the ranking, the Montreal Impact and San Jose Earthquakes are expected to impede LA's plans.
In addition to Arena speaking out about the Brazilian midfielder's departure, Sarvas' partner in central midfield Juninho also addressed his departure via his personal instagram.
"Marcelo, I want to wish you the best of luck in the next step of your life. Thank you for teaching me a lot of things about soccer, especially never giving up no matter the situation. You are a very good player and an example of dedication and companionship," Juninho said. "We were a good duo. It was a pleasure to play and live by your side and to know you in and off the field. Good luck to you in your next new club. LA, my family and I gonna miss you, Champion.'
PHILADELPHIA -- Major League Soccer to an immense step to honor retiring great Landon Donovan on Thursday by announcing that they have renamed their league Most Valuable Player trophy after the retired LA Galaxy legend.
MLS commissioner Don Garber made the announcement prior to the 2015 MLS SuperDraft at a special ceremony in Philadelphia. The new award name will be in place for the 2015 season.
Although Donovan holds all of MLS' major scoring records and is the most decorated player in league history, he admtited that the announcement came as a shock.
"This feels different because I saw all the people who have been with me from day one and that makes you appreciate what you put into it. I'm just very grateful to the commissioner for this and for my family who made incredible sacrifices in their life. This is something that they can always see and look at. They deserve this as much as I do."

Take a look at the PL8 and PL6 in these pictures. My comments were about the PL8 which has two feet in the rear. For the front area of the charger I was going to only add one small square of dual lock, right in the center on the bottom. But now I think about it, the charger would probaly rock side when using the buttons. So after rethinking it, I'd either use two in the front (one on each corner), or nothing at all since the rear ones may be strong enough. I need to get the case together first then I'll start testing to see what works.

To be honest, it will probably be fine. If were me, I'd solder. I like overhead when its comes easy and inexpensively. Now that you've gone to all that trouble, with the crimps and nice coverings, I'd test at 15 amps and take a measurement with your IR gun. If you get some heating consider soldering. Otherwise you are good to go. Are you running both supplies through that one plug? Or do you have two plugs?

Yes, both supply on one AC cord. I talked to a rep at meanwell. He says my power supply runs on AC at 10.1A each at full throttle (1000w). Since the power supply is 27v, the max I can occupy with the pl6 is around 816w. Which is around 80% of 1000w. So Im thinking around 16A (8A each) with the chargers full power, using those 816w each. Also, I'm sure (I hope) I won't be maxing both chargers at the same time. |

Those IEC connectors are only rated for 15 amps. But that is not where the problem is. PC power cords are typically rated at less than 15. Some as little as 8 amps. I did notice some warming on my smaller cords. Which is why I going with this thing and a heavy duty extention cable on my next case.

Hi Tim,
i finally was able to start some charging. However, i am finding a few issues. as you know, i have two power supplies (RSP-1000-27) and two PL6 (each on their own power supplies). One charger charges just fine. But the other charger, i seem to have problems with. It keeps on resetting, saying SVS reset or something like that. I tried turning off the charger and turning it back on, same thing. another issues i am having, i can not series charge. I got the series charge system from EPbuddy.com. I checked the voltages, and everything seems fine and connected. WHen it check for cell count, it errors out and says something about FMA wire and i believe it says voltage HI/LO... please help! edit: I tried swapping power supplies, and the issue still exist for the same charger.. thanks |
Nov 30, 2011, 06:51 AM | ||
I don't think your EPBUDDY adapter is series. It's parallel. Have you wired it to the FMA balance connector correctly? Have you set the PL6 Node wiring to XH/EH mode? See the Options tab in the CCS. Glen |

It's crap.
"In landing operations, retreat is impossible, to surrender is as ignoble as it is foolish. above all else remember that we as attackers have the initiative, we know exactly what we are going to do, while the enemy is ignorant of our intentions and can only parry our blows. We must retain this tremendous advantage by always attacking rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, and without rest." - General George S. Patton, Jr.

If you guys want to play an awesome fps C&C 3 game, then this is for you.
It's of course based off of Renegade and the Sage engine, but it's really a gem of a game. It's not a full version, and there isn't a great deal of players on it, but it has already become one of my favorites. The game play is balanced, the graphics are as good as it gets for an older engine, bring the engine up to speed with HQ AA, 16x Filtering, etc. when set on high. It's hard to have connection problems. My connection isn't great right now, but I don't lag at all connection wise. To end this, it needs more players. The multiplayergames community is a great example of devotion to unique and well developed projects. If you want to experience a great fps base on Command & Conquer 3, this is the best example on the web. I'd say more but I don't want to spoil it.

In Tchad, in Kou Kou and Goz Beida villages, near the border with Sudan, we help 127,000 internally displaced people.
South Sudan is the youngest African country, the 193° UN Member Country, the 54° of the African Union, It was born after a long civil war, one of the longest and most devastating of the continent, when it became indipendent from Sudan, the 9th July 2011.
The two long civil war (the first one from 1955 to 1972 and the second one from 1983 to 2005) left the country in a desasperate condition of undevelopment and backwardness, without infrastructures and with the majority of population devoid of the necessary.The Peace Agreement, "Naiyasha Agreement", signed in 2005, slightly improved the desperate lives conditions of this country, which is still one of the poorest country in the world, but the ultimate goal of the normalization is still far.
After the referendum of February 2011, the country started to build its democratic infrastructures and the 9th July the indipendence of the country has been proclaimed in the presence of the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and many Heads of State, among those even the Sudanese President Omar el Bashir.
In December 2013 heavy clashes erupted in Juba and are still ongoing, especially in Upper Nile, Jonglei and Unity. The humanitarian situation has worsened dramatically: there are more than 800,000 displaced people, and 4 million people need humanitarian assistance. INTERSOS is concentrating its interventions in Upper Nile, Unity, Jonglei, Western Equatoria and Central Equatoria to bring assistance, support and protection to displaced families.
The emergency in South Sudan concerns hundreds of thousands of people: the local population, the refugees and the internally displaced people.
The local population, divided in many tribes with different languages, traditions and somatic is mostly devoted to grazing and subsistence farming. The main difficulty is the food obtaining, due to the lack of water; in addition, there is the rainfall regime which alternates very dry seasons to heavy rains; that obviously reduces the arable lands to swamps. In this case the humanitarian intervention focuses on the digging of wells for drinking water and on the provision of seeds and tools to meet the basic food needs. When it is not possible, basic food needs are met by the distribution of rations.
In addition to the food shortage, it must be mentioned the total lack of the basic health services and infrastructures such as streets, bridges, power lines and all the necessary to bring assistance to the population, especially in the more remote areas of the country. The humanitarian assistance has been guaranteed by the UN agencies, such as the World Food Program, which also guarantees a service of small planes to transport the UN and NGOs' humanitarian staff.
About 803,200 internally displaced people (IDPs) are victims of inter-tribes violence, which have been devastating the country. The affected populations are forced to leave their villages and seek assistance from the IOM, UN Agencies (UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP) and the INGOs. INTERSOS, being part of this emergency response, is primarily focused on providing psychosocial support to victims of violence and to the most vulnerable groups such as women and children.
After the state's independence in 2011, more than 3.000 refugees left Sudan to come back to their homeland in South Sudan. The huge influx of people that arrived at the border regions between North and South Sudan has been one of the most dramatic emergency situations. During the return trip, these people were exposed to every kind of danger: lack of medical care, inadequate food and water supplies, violence perpetrated by groups of irregular fighters that still control some border areas of North and South.
In December 2013, clashes erupted in Juba and are still ongoing in many states: thousands of people have been displaced by violence.87.000 people sought refuge within the United Nations peacekeeping bases (UNMISS), that are guaranteeing protection to thousands of civilians. The humanitarian conditions are serious: camps are overcrowded, because of the massive rush of people arriving. Despite the hard operational context, INTERSOS keeps on providing assistance and protection to the affected population in South Sudan. Nevertheless, thousands of people live in tragic conditions: they urgently need blankets, tents, plastic sheet, food and water, clothes, hygienic kits to avoid epidemics.
On going intervention
State of Jonglei (intervention started in 2006)
Since December 2011, the inter-tribal disputes, the climatic disasters during the rainy season, and the current clashes embroiling rebel militias with the South Sudanese military and cattle keepers shape the emergency situation in Jonglei State with thousands of displaced people. INTERSOS that has been active in the state for the past seven years, is coordinating the emergency responses for the distribution of Emergency Shelters and Non-Food Items in Jonglei state, is ensuring the right to education for all children affected by emercency and is strengthening protection of vulnerable and conflict-affected women, men and children in Bor and Pibor.
State of Western Equatoria (intervention started in 2009)
In the state of Western Equatoria, we carry out a project of assistance to internal displaced people distributing emergency shelters and Non-Food Items to the beneficiary populations. In 36 local communities and 12 schools in three payams (regional districts), we promote hygiene and sanitation involving directly local communities, encouraging communities to construct their own latrines with locally available materials.
State of Upper Nile (intervention started in summer 2011)After inter-ethnic violence erupted in December 2013, thousand sought refuge inside UNMISS base in Malakal. Here INTERSOS staff carries out education and recreational activities for all emergency-affected children, supporting local teachers with trainings and implementing structures dedicated to education. Also INTERSOS is providing protection services and referral to assure assistance and support to children and young people most at risk.
State of Unity
As fighting contiues in Bentiu, up to 25,000 people are sheltered within the UN base, where we work to provide assistance to the displaced population through the distribution of shelters and emergency kits to people in need. INTERSOS staff runs education projects, intended to guarantee to conflict-affected children safe and protected spaces where they can attend education activities.
State of Central Equatoria
The outbreak of the conflict, since December 2013, caused a huge number of displaced people. In Juba, 32,000 people fled to the makeshift camps within the UNMISS bases to save their lives from violence. Camps are overcrowded and the humanitarian condition is worsening day by day, affecting above al children and women. In this situation, INTERSOS is intervening providing assistance to people living inside the camps: INTERSOS operators constantly distribute emergency kits with blankets, soap, mosquito nets, tarpaulins, jerry cans for water. We run activities to promote hygiene among children and adults, in order to avoid epidemics of mortal waterborne diseases as cholera and malaria. Our operators work every day within the camps to assist and protect most vulnerable children and women and to guarantee to affected children safe spaces and proper education.
Intersos in the country
INTERSOS has being in South Soudan since 2006, when the first operational base opened in Bor, the capital of the Jonglei State.
In 2009 INTERSOS started the so-called "WASH Program" (Water and Sanitation and Hygiene) in the state of Western Equatoria and opened a base in Yambio and in Ezo.
Currently INTERSOS is carrying out its emergency humanitarian response in five states of South Sudan. The humanitarian intervention covers a wide range of sectors such as wash, sanitation and hygiene, education and child protection, general protection and protection from sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and distribution of Non-Food items and Emergency Shelters. It has established strong partnerships with IOM, UNICEF (of which INTERSOS is implementing partner), WFP, UNOCHA, UNMISS and collaborates closely with other INGOs in the field. During these years INTERSOS is not solely focusing in the South Sudanese emergency context, INTERSOS also conducts trainings and organizes campaigns for further capacity building aiming to the empowerment of the beneficiary populations.

Congratulations! You have been hired by the School Cafeteria Workers Association to create an advertisement that encourages kids to eat healthy foods - specifically, vegetables. This could be a tough job, for as you know, many people prefer the fancy advertisements and taste of foods with lower nutritional values. But you can change that.
Choose a vegetable. Then, using the resources listed, investigate it. Find out all you can about its nutritional value using the website below:
Dole: All about Vegetables
When you get to the All about Vegetables page, you should:
- choose your vegetable from the list; and then
- once at the vegetable page, read the paragraph and nutrition benefits box for general information. You also can follow the links for additional information.
To learn more about the nutrients in your vegetable and how they contribute to good health, go to one or more of the following links:
Fruits & Veggies Matter: Vegetable Nutrition Database (many of the vegetables also include links to videos on how to select, store, or prepare them)
MyPlate Guide
Learning About Proteins
Learning About Calories
Learning About Carbohydrates
Learning About Fats
Knowledge Check
Create an advertisement that "wows" your audience with all you've learned about your vegetable's nutrients. In other words, create an advertisement that is based on factual nutritional information, but still incorporates the "pizzazz" of an attention-getting advertisement. Remember: you want to get kids to forget junk food and eat vegetables! They just might do this if they know how good vegetables are for them - so let them know.
Present your advertisement to the representatives from the School Cafeteria Workers Association; aka, your classmates. Be prepared to answer any questions they might have regarding the claims in your advertisement.
This esheet is a part of the Nutrition 3: Got Broccoli? lesson.

Megson, Graham M. and Evans, David J. (1989) Algorithmic fault tolerance for matrix operations on triangular arrays. Parallel Computing, 10 (2). pp. 207-219. ISSN 0167-8191
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0167-8191(89)90018-5
In this paper the technique of algorithm-based fault tolerance which is used to detect and correct transient or permanent hardware faults by checksum matrices is reconsidered for triangular systolic arrays. Linear error detecting arrays are developed for both matrix product and triangular factorisation and are shown to interface neatly with triangular schemes. The overheads associated with error detecting redundancy is offset by hardware reduction due to the folding of the array to produce triangular rather than the standard hex connected arrays. The result is shown to be improved efficiency and area efficient fault tolerant arrays.

My babies are weighted with fine glass granules in the limbs, head and body, which is all sealed. The baby will feel heavy and floppy; the head will need to be supported.
The baby will arrive to you dressed in a brand new outfit, which includes a nappy. Also included is a custom birth certificate and a care sheet. I can provide a dummy if requested.
Please note that these reborn babies are artist creations, collectors dolls, not children's play dolls. They are not suitable for children due to the magnets, mohair and fillings. These are not toys.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Recognizing and Developing Your Children's Special Talents
Topic Overview
To build healthy self-esteem, all children need to feel that they can do at least one thing very well. Many times, however, a child's special talent is overlooked because it's not an area that is recognized at school or elsewhere.
Parents can discover their children's special talents by providing varied experiences and opportunities. Then they can help their children by working with them at home. Here are some of the steps parents can take:
- Let children know that success is possible and that they will benefit from doing well in school. Let them know that you expect them to do well.
- Engage your children. Talk to and play with them. Encourage conversation in any way you can: Talk about current events, or about what happened during the day. Ask them specific questions about what they did. Read to them, play games, and do puzzles together.
- Pay attention to what your children like to do. Help them develop those skills or find out where they can learn more.
- Take your children to places where they can learn. Schedule trips to museums, the library, or bookstores, especially when children's events are planned.
- Enlist a mentor in your family or community who can help your children develop their talents and serve as a role model.
- Help your child with homework. Work with teachers and school counselors to gain a better understanding of your child's learning style, strengths, and weaknesses.

The only thing positive I can say is some of the scenery is pretty to look at.

Oh, come on! That joke is SO 1990s…
August 11, 2009
You know, Ashraf, for a guy who's so keen on laying down the law, you don't seem to obey your own rules very well yourself… no offence intended, of course
May 7, 2009
Guys' Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally, the guys' side of the story.
(I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear "the rules"
From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note… these are all numbered "1"
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.
See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria 's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have < B>no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle, besides we know you will bring it up again later.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine n PERFECT…..
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation,
or golf.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Impossible to Please
A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.
The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."
So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.
The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.
They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain."
They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.
On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.
There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."

0 to 200 in 6 seconds
Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was
really pissed.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"
The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought
the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Bob has been missing since Friday.

A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party.
Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice.
After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try.
The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills.
When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

The Billings, Montana Bear
A bear walks into a bar in Billings, Montana and sits down. He bangs on the bar with his paw and demands a beer.
The bartender approaches and says,
'We don't serve beer to bears in bars in Billings '
The bear, becoming angry, demands again that he be served a beer.
The bartender tells him again, more forcefully,
'We don't serve beer to belligerent bears in bars in Billings ..'
The bear, very angry now, says,
'If you don't serve me a beer, I'm going to eat that lady sitting at the end of the bar.'
The bartender says,
'Sorry, we don't serve beer to Belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings '
The bear goes to the end of the bar, and, as promised, eats the woman. He comes back to his seat and again demands a beer.
The bartender states,
'Sorry, but we especially don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings who are on drugs.'
The bear looks at him quizzically and says,
'I'm not on drugs.'
(You're gonna love me for this…)
The bartender says,
'You are now.
That was a barbitchyouate

Out of Control Help Desk – Abbott & Costello 2009
If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on first?" might have turned out something like this:
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking
about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write
proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm
sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some
straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?
ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.
COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your
business. Just tell me what I need!
ABBOTT: Real One.
COSTELLO: If it's a long movie, I also want to watch reels 2, 3 and 4. Can
I watch them?
ABBOTT: Of course.
COSTELLO: Great! With what?
ABBOTT: Real One.
COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do?
ABBOTT: You click the blue "1".
COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?
ABBOTT: The blue "1".
COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?
ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: But there are three words in "office for windows"!
ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the world.
COSTELLO: It is?
ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty
much wiped out all the other Words out there.
COSTELLO: And that word is real one?
ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of
COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping?
You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
(A few days later)
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on "START"…….

Public Chicago
Here's a cure for the energy crisis: Figure out what fuels Ian Schrager. As if redefining the entire hotel industry weren't enough, now the man responsible for the rise of the boutique is aiming to shift the paradigm yet again.
Schrager's new Public Chicago, a renovation of the 285-room Gold Coast institution the Ambassador East, is a thumb to the nose of the trend he unleashed. The color palette is notable for its lack thereof, the design is clean and minimal, there are no gimmicks. Instead, Schrager puts the focus on essentials, such as sincere service. Jean-Georges in the kitchen of the Pump Room and what's sure to be a rocking lobby library (coffee shop/group work space by day, cocktail lounge by night) are the only nods to excess. Think of it as a Master Cleanse to self-conscious hipness.

Google PlusJeffrey Neely, one of the embattled General Services Administration executives at the center of the agency's wasteful spending scandal, refused to testify in Congress today about a $822,751 Las Vegas training conference that he helped plan.
Invoking his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination, Neely declined to comment on the lavish conference, which featured a mind-reader, a clown, commemorative coin giveaways, and a strange award ceremony in which he mocked President Barack Obama. Neely was placed on administrative leave this month after a scathing report from the GSA's inspector general revealed the excesses at the conference, and is now facing a possible criminal investigation into his activities at the GSA, according to the Washington Post.
ABC's Jake Tapper may have stumbled upon the reason behind Neely's silence. Earlier this afternoon, Tapper reported on a trove of photos from two of six pre-conference "planning trips" to Las Vegas on Neely's wife Deborah's Google Plus page. show the GSA executive living it up in a fancy suite at Las Vegas' M Resort Spa & Casino.
The photos, contained in the albums M Hotel@Vegas Nov2009, Las Vegas 1109, and Room Party Las Vegas M March 2010, show the Neelys and other GSA employees enjoying themselves in luxurious hotel suites overlooking the Nevada desert. Overall, the albums paint a pretty unflattering picture of Neely and his agency.

The 12.2m (40ft) long 67m3 opentop is one of the more common types of "special" container used in the shipping industry. It is used primarily for the shipment of over height or large bulk item cargoes (such as machinery) that are unable to be loaded through normal container doors. A common use in the domestic markets is for them to be used to handle and transport bulk granular cargo such as grains, wood chips and rock/ore.
Cargo is normally loaded through the roof once the tarpaulin and roof bows have been removed, or alternatively swung in through the doors once the rear top rail is removed. Pricing of used containers varies according to grade and market supply parameters.

I think Georgia Tech is the best team in that conference and will take the one for sure #1 bid the acc champ will get. Of course injuries change everything, so that really can not enter the discussion. Just as a prediction:Kansas in the WestGeorgia Tech in the SouthSyracuse in the East Illinios in the Midwest but those are pretty lame predictions because someone has to fall from the current top five and another team step up. What if George Washington is this years St Joes and they dont lose again. Maybe they would take a #1. I dont want the Illini to see Duke this year at all, because they are always good and just have an aura around them. By the way...I think your Tar Heels are going to land a 4 seed and get bumped. I just dont like Felton, McCants and Mays ability to win games against experienced teams. I know they just beat Kentucky, but that is a young team.

These 100CP's are plenty stable. A few packs outside to get acquainted and.... The mSRX looks cool...but I think you really want the CP. And they ARE DAMN TOUGH. My Genius has crashed more than I can count and not landed on the bench for anything more than a spot of hot melt on the skids. regards, Bill |

What are you looking for in a micro? Grass lander or ashpalt? i ask because I am constantly searching for the "perfect cul-de-sac flyer" also... You can put Beast or your micro Piaget guts in this cool micro Threlon..it's technically an F3P ship, but I'm finding that that class (and non-micro F3P size too) make great yard/front street/parking lot flyers: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...70&postcount=5 I thought a Beast would do, but nope, too fast and needs too much room for seriously tight residential flying. This past summer my 78cm/30.7" non-micro F3P Breeze Pro ended up being my go-to plane for residential "urban guerilla" type flying- reason being is that the stall-speed is virtually zero- I can have fun way up high above the ground clutter, doing every pattern move I know, then glide 'er back in at Vapor speeds to a super tight circling landing amidst the condos ringing my tiny cul-de-sac. Try that with a Beast. Maybe the new HK Durafly Slick360? Hehheh...mine just shipped this morn... Bud, just one more Bud My Breeze Pro..big, ugly, but oh so capable: |

BP Comment Quick Links
March 19, 2014 Painting the BlackUp and AdamsYou know how Earl Weaver used to break his starters in as relievers? Lately the Cardinals have employed a similar approach with their position players. St. Louis has initiated its youth in bench roles, then pushed them into everyday duty after they're acclimated to the majors. This practice has played to perfection in each of the past three seasons. Jon Jay ascended from fourth outfielder duty in 2011 to become a reliable center-field option. His emergence freed John Mozeliak to make the unpopular, if successful Colby Rasmus trade en route to a World Series title. Mozeliak's hardihood was on display again months later, as he allowed Albert Pujols to leave via free agency. No worries, said Allen Craig, who in the ensuing season doubled his career games played total and almost matched El Hombre's OPS+. Then came last year, when super-utility man Matt Carpenter took over at the keystone and accumulated the fourth-most WARP in the majors. As a result, a pattern seeker might look at recent history and finger Matt Adams as a player who could have a breakout season. Adams is, after all, the latest graduate from the most mystical apprenticeship program this side of a Susanna Clarke novel. Last season the portly first baseman served in a reserve role, playing mostly against right-handed pitchers, and posted a .289 True Average—the 15th-best mark among first baseman whom exceeded 300 plate appearances. Adams' game is power, and he homered in 5 percent of his plate appearances. Do the math and over a full season that prorates to 30 home runs: a mark that just six first basemen reached last season, as opposed to the 10 who did it in 2003.
3 comments have been left for this article. (Click to hide comments) BP Comment Quick Links ClaytonThompson (77326) Before last season trading Adams was a big topic. Haven't heard that much this year. If he manages to hit, say 15-20 homers before the trade deadline, you have to think he get's traded. Right? Mar 19, 2014 08:15 AM John Douglass (53235) Considering this is a statistical analysis of a guy entering his age 25 season with just 400 MLB PA, and because it's biggest assumption on Adams is that he will carry bad splits that kill him and also considering that Adams has 73 PA spread over 2 years against lefties in MLB, I'm gonna say that's not enough to base a projection on him that is centered around poor splits.

The Santa Monica Pier is a large double-jointed pier located at the foot of Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California and is a prominent, 100-year-old landmark.[2]
The pier contains Pacific Park, a family amusement park with the one of a kind, state of the art solar-paneled Ferris wheel. (This should not be confused with Pacific Ocean Park, a former amusement park a few miles south of Santa Monica Pier, which operated from 1958 to 1967 and is now demolished.)
It also has an original carousel hippodrome from the 1920s, the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium operated by Heal the Bay, shops, entertainers, a video arcade, a trapeze school, pubs, and restaurants. The west end of the pier is a popular location for anglers.
During the summer months the pier is venue to weekly outdoor concerts, movies, and other family friendly activities that are free to the public.
Santa Monica has had several piers over the years; however, the current Santa Monica Pier is actually two adjoining piers that long had separate owners. The long, narrow Municipal Pier opened September 9, 1909,[3] primarily to carry sewer pipes beyond the breakers,[4] and had no amenities. The short, wide adjoining Pleasure Pier to the south, a.k.a. Newcomb Pier, was built in 1916 by Charles I. D. Looff and his son Arthur, amusement park pioneers.[5] Attractions on the Pleasure Pier eventually included the Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome building (which now houses the current carousel and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places), the Blue Streak Racer wooden roller coaster (which was purchased from the defunct Wonderland amusement park in San Diego), the Whip, merry-go-rounds, Wurlitzer organs, and a funhouse.
The Carousel was built in 1922 on what was often referred to as a Pleasure Pier and features 44 hand-carved horses. It was rebuilt in 1990 inside the Hippodrome. A calliope provides musical accompaniment.
The La Monica Ballroom, designed by T.H. Eslick with a Spanish façade and French Renaissance interior, opened on July 23, 1924. It was the largest dance hall on the west coast, accommodating 5,000 dancers on its 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) hard maple floor. In 1948, country music star Spade Cooley began broadcasting his weekly television show from the ballroom, where the enormously popular program remained until 1954. During the summer of 1955, the Hollywood Autocade opened in the La Monica with one-hundred famous and unusual cars, including Jack Benny's Maxwell and a Rumpler Drop Car.[6] From 1958 until 1962, the ballroom served as a roller skating rink; first as Skater's Ballroom and then Santa Monica Roller Rink, where the speed skating club won many state and regional championships. The 'La Monica Ballroom' was demolished in 1963.
The Pleasure Pier thrived during the 1920s but faded during the Great Depression. During the 1930s, the pier was mainly used as a ferry landing, while most of the amusement park facilities were closed down and its attractions sold off.[7]
The bridge and entry gate to Santa Monica Pier were built in 1938 by the federal Works Project Administration, and replaced the former grade connection.
The Newcomb Pier was privately owned until it was acquired by the city in 1974.[8][9] During the 1960s and 1970s various plans were proposed that would entail removal of the pier. The strangest one called for the construction of an artificial island with a 1500-room hotel. It was approved by the City Council, but citizens formed "Save Santa Monica Bay" to preserve the pier.[10] The outstanding order to raze the pier was revoked by the city council in 1973. Within that same year, the Carousel and Hippodrome were memorable sets featured in the film The Sting, although the story was set in Chicago.
In the 1950s, Enid Newcomb suggested to family friend Morris "Pops" Gordon that his two sons, George and Eugene, purchase and operate the Pier's arcade. It didn't take much persuasion, for the Gordons instantly took to the Pier and ultimately made Playland Arcade into the Pier's longest running enterprise offering the day's contemporary games alongside those of yesterday, providing inexpensive entertainment to a diverse crowd. George's daughters Marlene and Joanie have kept the business within the family, and the next generation of Gordon's are already in training to maintain the family tradition.
In 1983, the Santa Monica Pier experienced a significant loss. On January 27, there were reported swells of 10-feet during this winter storm. When the storm was over, the lower deck of the pier was destroyed. The City of Santa Monica began repairs on March 1, 1983, when another storm rolled in. A crane which was being used to repair the west end was dragged into the water and used as a battering ram against the pilings. Over one-third of the Pier was completely destroyed.
The City of Santa Monica created a non-profit in response to the damage and called it Santa Monica Pier Restoration Corporation (SMPRC). SMPRC conducted the daily operations of the Santa Monica Pier, such as managing events, filming, promotions, tenants, and street performers. To date, SMPRC has produced the Santa Monica Pier Paddle Board Race and the Twilight Summer Concert Series. Also, in 2011, SMPRC changed the company name to the Santa Monica Pier Corporation (SMPC).
Films which prominently used the Santa Monica Pier include Tillie's Punctured Romance, Quicksand, Elmer Gantry, 1941 (film), The Opposite of Sex, Night Tide, Bean, The Sting, A Night at the Roxbury, Miracle Beach, Titanic, "The Lost Boys", Forrest Gump (there is a Bubba Gump Shrimp Company Restaurant on the pier, owned by the company that produced the film), Not Another Teen Movie, Iron Man, Desperate Teenage Lovedolls, Dark Ride, Cellular, The Hottie and the Nottie, Ruthless People (the pier is the site of the movie's climactic final scene), Love Stinks, Hancock, the indie romantic comedy She Wants Me, and Hannah Montana: The Movie (the scene with Lilly's birthday party). During the earthquake in the movie 2012, the pier can be seen sinking beneath the waves. The 1964 Natalie Wood film "Inside Daisy Clover" features the pier in the beginning of the picture. "The Glenn Miller Story" with Jimmy Stewart has a sequence toward the beginning where he goes to the "La Monica Ballroom" for an audition.
