Sorry just adding to this ever going and large thread!

That's exactly what I thought when we got our FedEx letter last year saying I had won the OMDD contest. Then I figured maybe companies were sending spam through FedEx now.
That was just MEAN!!!
So my cell phone starts ringing in my classroom today...I was teaching, phone was across the room on my desk. I go racing over to the phone, screaming, "That might be my Disney call!" Kids were sorely disappointed for me when it wasn't, but they had a lot of fun watching me trip over desks to get to the phone.
All I had to pick right now was the Hotel and package. We picked Beach Club and the Grownup and Romance package.
I wont know more till its over and I hear from Disney next month.
I thought for sure we would have another winner today!
Okay, this sounds stupid.. the day before I won.. I found a brand new penny face up at the grocery store. I picked it and DH laughed at me. I told him our luck cant get much worse! I keep that penny on all the time now!
Gantu - thank you for keeping us updated! Have an amazing time!
Funny you say that. I sliced my right thumb open on Monday. Sliced my left thumb open on Tuesday. Slip and fell on ice today. Soooooo. My luck has to be looking up
Congrats by the way!!!!
Sliced both your thumbs on different days and slipped and fell on ice?! How does that even happen?! haha, you need a and a disney trip!
Yep needed that hug Just been one of those weeks. Right thumb was on a bumper (I'm a claims adjuster). Left thumb on a sharp edge of my file cabinet. And there was black ice on a customer's driveway. Even if I don't win this I have my anniversary trip to plan.
Patiently waiting for someone to win.
came home and there was a message blinking on the answering machine. we *never* get calls on the home phone (except telemarketrs who dont leave messages)'. i frantically was looking thru the # s on the caller ID looking for 212, but didnt have my glasses on so couldnt see a darn thing......i just kept squintingand squinting trying to see. not sure why i didnt just play the message right away!
does anyone else feel like this is going to be a looooong month?
Yes!!!! I feel like it's already been the longest 9 nine days ever!
I really wish we'd here about more people winning. If I don't get a call it's at least fun to see other people enjoying good news and filling us in on all the fun details like Gantu has been so great to do!
I'm actually disappointed that no other winners have checked in. At least hearing from winners gives hope that we all have a chance. Meanwhile, not even a glimmer of a FedEx truck in the distance today. Maybe tomorrow.
Gantu did you get any other paperwork from ventura other than affadavit ? Who is asking you about which hotel.who are you dealing with at ventura.
That's odd that Ventura is asking for hotel and package choices. Ventura had nothing to do with that last year for OMDD; they were just responsible for picking the winner. We didn't have to pick hotel/package choices until Disney promotions got in touch with us.
I edited out the names and phone numbers, but this is a copy of our last email.
As for paper work, I got a ton of stuff.
Subject: RE: Disney Parks " Disney Time" Sweepstakes/Jan 2
I just opened your FedEx, and confirmed you as the 1/2/2013 winner.
Please note, Disney, will not receive any winner information from me, until the promotion is officially over and the last winner has been confirmed. You should not expect to hear from a Disney trip coordinator until early February. You can continue to email or call me with any questions you may have. Your next step is to choose your choice of resort and prize package, and let me know.

The lady I'm working with is SUPER nice!
We had such a great phone call!
What a great job she has!
Wow there are some negative nelly's around here!
Well, here's good luck to to nice posters!!!!
????? i didnt see any negative posts'........
Yeah, perhaps after our trips Disney decided it was easier for Ventura to handle that? I don't know, but I remember there being some hassles with pickings things through Disney, so maybe this will help the process. I wonder if the same people at DL and DW are running things this time...I remember some of us bugged the poor guy so much, lol.
I am so loving everyone fantasizing dont give up keep believing we are going to come out of this big winners think positive remember the tongue has great powers so speak it.good luck

Changes at LJ
In an amazing act of prestidigitation Phil Hughes waved his hands and Gary Moore and I traded positions on February 1. As a result, Gary is now SSC's Technical Editor and I am Managing Editor of Linux Journal. This is one of those win-win situations—Gary gets to spend more time editing and I get to tell everyone what to do. I love managing things. I suppose I have a strong controller streak to my psyche.
I have worked with computers for over 15 years now, mainly programming scientific applications in Fortran for geophysical (oil) companies. I also did a lot of technical writing in the form of software documentation. The writing was always the most fun, so I've enjoyed my work here at SSC and expect to continue to do so as Editor of Linux Journal. Since coming to work for SSC, I've done editing of reference cards, such as Java and HTML, as well as lots of copy editing for Linux Journal. And of course, I made sure that Linux Gazette got posted every month. Actually, it was the time spent on LG that convinced me that I could handle the job for LJ. I have retained custody of Linux Gazette. I have too much fun with LG to give it up, and I intend to have just as much fun with Linux Journal.
The project led by Alan Cox for Linux users to sponsor a penguin at Bristol Zoo in Swansea, UK is now complete. The sponsorship was done in Linus Torvalds's name as a 1996 Christmas present. Details can be found at http://penguin.uk.linux.org. Sounds like a fun project for user groups.
The first virus able to infect a Linux system has been found by McAfee Associates. The virus, named Bliss, has spread to Linux systems, as many Linux users play Internet games while logged in as root. To learn how to avoid this danger, check out this month's article "Safely Running Programs as Root", by Phil Hughes.
If you have a spare Linux CD to give away, you can list your e-mail address at http://emile.math.ucsb.edu:8000/giveaway.html. Those people who need them will contact you, send you a self-addressed stamped envelope and then you can send them the CD. If you would prefer to lend a Linux CD locally, you can also sign up to do that at the site. This is a worthy project that should help to spread the word about Linux.
This month our focus is on Linux ports, and we have several articles on different ports including Alpha, Mac and the PowerPC. Also, thanks to Alessandro Rubini, Kernel Korner has returned to our pages.
Beginning with this issue Linux Journal will have tar, gzip files containing the listings for our articles. You can grab the files for this issue from ftp://ftp.linuxjournal.com/lj/listings/issue37. As time permits, we will add files containing article listings from previous months.
Next month we'll focus on networking. Planned are articles on multi-platform networking with Linux, on communicating between home and office and on setting up a Sun SPARCstation.
Send me any ideas or suggestions you might have for articles or Linux Journal in general. My e-mail address is email@example.com. —Margie Richardson Managing Editor

Lake Tulloch rental house left a lot to be desired
September 4, 2014
Our family of 10 stayed at Richard Lundgren's Tulloch house from 8/17/14 – 8/23/14. Sent Richard an email on 8/25/14 to make him aware of below issues, and as of today (9/4/14), received no response (apology would have been nice). • My husband slipped on steps going down to dock and blew out knee. Why would there be gravel on such steep steps? Might as well be marbles. • Front of house sags. Appears that several supports that hold up front of house are dry rotted. Afraid if put too much weight on front of house that we'd end up in lake. Thank God we left before Napa earthquake hit. The strips of wood that "protect" glass were thin and flimsy. If anyone tripped and bumped window, would have ended up 75 feet down in lake. We had small children with us and with sagging living room and unsafe windows, very nervous with children in that room. • Front, top bedroom fan has broken blade. Accidently turned on high in middle of night and sounded like fan was going to fly off and decapitate someone. • House wasn't very clean and had cob webs/spiders everywhere. • Left with third roll of paper towels. Had to buy our own. • Kitchen rug filthy and covered with ants. • No dish soap and no soap in 2 bathrooms. Had to buy our own. • BBQ barely worked and was filthy. Attempted to cook on it first night, and couldn't get to flame enough to cook meat. Brought rest of uncooked meat into house to cook, but had to do 3 batches because no frying pan big enough to cook for 10 people. Ended up going to Oakdale to buy Weber and frying pan. • Kitchen lacking other types of pans sufficient enough to cook for 10 people. • Light bulbs out in many rooms. You said bulbs were in laundry, but most fixtures too high. Didn't want to risk breaking anything to replace bulbs. • No water jug holder that was listed in instructions. • No cleaning supplies. With 10 people staying for week, things get dirty. Would have been nice to have bottle of 409 to sanitize things. Bought our own. • Top oven door rickety and hard to close. • Couldn't get front door key to work. Each time we left house, had to leave bottom deck door unlocked to get back in. Thankfully, nothing was stolen. • Downstairs shower takes forever to get warm and water barely trickled out. • Front top bedroom and bottom bedroom smelled. We washed all bedding in top room, but still couldn't get rid of musty, old smell. • Coffee table, din

Great house for a retreat
August 14, 2014
This is a great house. It had lots of room for our 12 guests,great kitchen,fabulous master bedroom, and bathroom.A little bit of a hike to the dock,but not real bad.The view of the lake was fantastic from the great room, and the patio.

Million Dollar View of The lake
August 13, 2014
Our family just got back a few days ago and we all had a great time. The house was very comfortable and accommodating. The view from the house and spacious balcony is truly amazing. We had a great time swimming and jet skiing. The deck was large enough for us all to relax on and the kids had fun jumping in the water and fishing. We hope to make it back next year for our summer vacation

Great house with perfect surroundings
October 26, 2013
I booked this house for my family to stay at for the week surrounding my wedding. We arrived to the house late at night but woke up to the amazing lake front and surrounding views. The location proved to be perfect as it was not too far from town or any of the other wedding events. We loved the scenery so much that we ended up using it for our engagement photos rather than driving to Yosemite. I would definitely recommend this house.

The Best Vacation!!!
August 14, 2013
WE HAD A BLAST!!! Our week-long stay was one of the most relaxing, enjoyable times we've had as a family. The view from the living room is breathtaking, the pictures don't do it justice! The stairs to the dock are very steep, must be careful walking down. The appliances are dated, but worked fine and we cooked quite a lot. There is 3 levels which make it very nice to have your own space when you need it. There is a nice deck but the view from the living room is far better than that of the deck. The AC made it very comfortable; however the 3rd level room gets quite hot. The pool table was great fun. The jacuzzi was enjoyable. Our memories of this vacation are nothing but JOY! We would be happy to stay there again and again! LOVED, LOVED, LOVED our entire week - what a special treat!

Great Family House!
June 30, 2013
This was our second visit to the Gil's lake house. It's a really great house for a family gathering, with shuffleboard court, ping pong table and foosball. The bedrooms are very small, but that's okay since you only use those for sleeping anyway. Big living room, spacious kitchen equipped with just about everything you will need. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Perfect view of the lake
July 26, 2012
My family enjoyed the three nights we stayed in this house. We had plenty of room for all eleven of us, and it has a small front yard where we had barbacues in the evening. Also the back has a large deck to relax anytime and look out at boaters. The owner is very easy to do business with and lets you have a great time using his home! I recommend this house and will rent it again , had a blast.

Great Weekend Vacation Home!
June 20, 2012
Once I stepped into the door first thing I loved about the place was the view! Weather was over 100 degrees. Air conditioning worked perfectly. Going to the dock was a workout, which was perfect for me, after all the BBQ I had. Jacuzzi was great, after a long day of swimming and riding the jetski. All I can say is that I had the greatest summer weekend by far!

Great house, beautiful view
May 26, 2012
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very spacious, bigger than we expected. The view of the lake from the house is great. The steps to the dock are a bit steep, but it was very convenient to have the boat so close. The dock was nice, too. It held our boat in place and looks almost new. We will definately recommend this home to our friends and family. Thanks!

What a view!

Summer Fun!
August 23, 2011
This house is very roomy and comfortable...The scenery is GREAT from the living rm windows and decks. You can watch the boaters, skiers etc. and relax. Short walk to access the beach. First time at this lake and would go again. Very nice and alot of fun!

Could Be Better
August 22, 2011
This house could be amazing, but it's a little run down and is lacking the essentials..cable, kitchen run down and poorly stocked, dining table only accommodates 4 people, furniture mix and match, pool table has holes in the pockets! There are many steep stairs to the dock! Has an amazing view from living room.

Big house with lots of parking and great view
July 26, 2011
This is a really big house with enough room to park 5 or more vehicles plus three of these vehicles had trailers. Also a big part of the parking is covered which is really nice. The only downside is that it is 66 steps down a pretty steep hill to get from the house to the dock. The view from the house is great!

Match or coordinate bath color to MBR
I have paint for our Master BR, BM Stonington Grey. We updated the bathroom (yes, our master BA is just a half-) in 2007, so if we're going to paint the bedroom, probably need to repaint the bath.
What color would you go with? I'm sure there is enough paint to do the Stonington Grey, but it doesn't have to match. What is a coordinating color on the fandeck strip? The tile is terracotta and the grout is grey.
This is an old cell phone photo.
This post was edited by gsciencechick on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 15:39
I'm not a matchy person but I think the Stonington Gray will look really nice with the tile, especially since there is gray grout. Or maybe a lighter version of the gray?
I am going to take the darker accent wall color in our BR and lighten it up with white to get a much lighter "hint" of our MBR.
The rest of the room was one shade lighter on the color card. So it should all "flow" but not be exact.
Stonington Gray is one of the historic colors so it's isn't on that handy "strip" where you can easily identify the lighter or darker version. But you could ask the paint store to mix it at 25% or 50% or whatever.
We did the reverse a while back. Master bath was Revere Pewter and bedroom was a medium blue gray color. I loved the RP so much that I painted the bedroom the same color.
Aha, that is probably why I can't find it.
I had tried to match the color that is in there now to the MBR which was painted by PO's, so it doesn't match right now. I may need to take a trip to the BM store to see if there is anything else I like. I love how the Stonington is going to look on our BR walls. The lighting is just right in there.
Since summer is wasting away and I am doing more work than I planned, I'll probably have to have our contractor friend do it. What would take me a week, he can do probably in two days. I love to paint, DH not so much.
Stonington gray occurs between Coventry gray and wickham gray. I have had success with using nearby colors in the historic colors when they do belong to the same family. But I would go for a coordinating warm tone to pick up on the flooring...take a look at pale oats or even adobe white...
Follow this link to the Benjamin Moore website to see what color combos they suggest as well as different shades of Stonington Gray.
Here is a link that might be useful: Stonington Gray

I personally think that comic book characters should die.
I don't mean KILL ALL CHARACTERS IMMEDIATELY but I definitely think that if the writers make the careful decision to kill off a character, they should REMAIN DEAD unless, of course, your Mister Immortal, where reincarnation is the whole point. But with the death of Human Torch, please, stay dead. No offense Torch fans. I just get really tired of seeing characters consistently die and consistently return. If the writers of Fantastic Four decided to kill off character (a big move) they need to stay dead.
I wasn't reading comics when Captain America died almost six years ago in Civil War but I believe that it would've been an interesting twist for his character to die. It left the Cap role open for Bucky (though apparently Steve Rogers is going to return to the role).
I'd definitely say that characters should die, because it allows the name of the hero (or villain), to pass down to another person, which to me, makes it so much more interesting.

A bunch of stuff from the last couple of days.
The US U-17 begins its World Cup qualifying quest on Friday and here is the roster that Richie Williams has called in. And here are the rosters for all the teams at the tournament.
Brian Sciaretta talked to Williams this week about the roster and qualification.
Will Parchman wrote a lot of words on US U-17 starlet Christian Pulisic.
Club Tijuana's website has a story up on forward Brandon Vazquez, who I was told by Mr. Parchman was sort of a surprise inclusion to the US U-17 roster.
Herculez Gomez likes scoring goals for Puebla and scored two more in Copa MX action earlier this week (highlights).
Edgar Castillo went the full 90 minutes last night in Atlas' big 1-0 win over Atletico Mineiro in Copa Libertadores. How rare was the win? It was Atletico Mineiro's first loss at home in Copa Libertadores play since 1978, a run of 20 straight games.
Club America president Ricardo Pelaez would like to see Mexico call-up Ventura Alvarado, but El Tri manager Miguel Herrera recently told some press that other players are ahead of Alvarado in his pecking order. You know what to do next, Klinsi.
The Toronto Sun's Kurtis Larson had a nice lengthy interview with Jozy Altidore.
"There were a lot of options," Altidore said. "People were saying I was forced to Toronto or something like that. I just thought at this point in my life it was something that I was ready to do.
"I was ready for the public opinion and backlash. The project they have here excited me the most."
Even more than the plethora of opportunities he had on Europe's mainland.
Altidore explained why he chose Toronto FC over four German clubs, two French sides, two Italian teams and a potential loan move within the Premier League.
"There were a lot of options," Altidore said. "People were saying I was forced to Toronto or something like that. I just thought at this point in my life it was something that I was ready to do.

Even more than the plethora of opportunities he had on Europe's mainland.
Altidore explained why he chose Toronto FC over four German clubs, two French sides, two Italian teams and a potential loan move within the Premier League.
But there are a lot of goodies in that interview so go read it.
While he is not playing much for Hamburg, Bayern Munich is at least making money off Julian Green. According to one report out of Germany, Bayern Munich is getting paid each time Green doesn't make Hamburg's gameday roster. And that has happened a lot this season.
As for some injury news, Aron Johannsson returned to training earlier this week after missing a couple games for AZ Alkmaar.
Tim Ream is also expected to return to training this week after being subbed off last weekend with a back injury.
Brian Sciaretta talked to Josh Gatt about coming back from his knee injuries over the last couple years. And here is a short video of Gatt sprinting on his knee.
Despite some recent un-Tim Howard-like performances, Roberto Martinez still has Tim Howard's back.
Jurgen Klinsmann is returning Robbie Rogers' e-mails again.
After scoring some goals with both Tijuana's senior team and U-20 team, Club Tijuana's website has a little story up on Amando Moreno.
It looks like Philadelphia Union's Austin Berry is being sent out on loan to South Korea's FC Anyang.
Former DC United and Seattle Sounders forward David Estrada is on trial with Stabæk.
Speaking of the Fighting Bob Bradleys, here is a video interview with Stabæk midfielder Cole Grossman.
And finally, Sky Sports in England won the TV rights to MLS for the first time.
Like many American soccer fans over the last couple seasons, Club Tijuana has slowly become my favorite Liga MX side, especially living in Southern California and having games on TV at reasonable times (Friday at 7:30 PM) instead of setting an alarm for 4 AM in order to watch an English Premier League match.
It also doesn't hurt when the team boasts Americans Joe Corona, Greg Garza, Paul Arriola, a treasure trove of US U-20 players and have featured other Americans in the past (Edgar Castillo and Herculez Gomez).
With the weekend free, I decided to finally make the three hour trek south to Tijuana to check out the Xolos experience in person in their Friday game against Pumas.
Read the rest of this entry »
Haven't done some links in a while, but here are a bunch of random stuff from recently or two weeks ago (or sometime in the last little bit). Hopefully my workload will ease up after this week and I could do these more often again.
I posted a couple USMNT tidbits on Friday.
We had some goals this past weekend from Matt Taylor, Rubio Rubin and Cesar Romero. Two of those three players earned OT's Player of the Week honors. And check out our goal tracker for more goals from the last couple of weeks.
Will Packwood picked up a red card in his Colchester United debut over the weekend.
Jose Torres, Herculez Gomez and Tigres knocked out Edgar Castillo in the Liga MX playoffs.
This was like from two weeks ago but John Brooks made Kicker's Team of the Week, while Timothy Chandler made Bild's Team of the Week.
According to Lyle Yorks, Jozy Altidore's agent, there is interest throughout Europe for Altidore.
Juventus is being linked to Erik Palmer-Brown again.
Eric Lichaj apparently has the nickname of "The Rash".
Rhett Bernstein and Mjøndalen won their promotion playoff and will be playing in Norway's Tippeligaen next season.
Club America's Ventura Alvarado has apparently turned down US youth team call-ups in recent years as he holds out hope to play for Mexico. But another report claims he would be open for a call from the US.
Shane O'Neill is training with Sheffield Wednesday.
Swedish side IFK Göteborg was interested in hiring Bob Bradley, but he wouldn't be able to bring along one of his assistants so they stopped talking.
Fabian Johnson didn't travel to Borussia Mönchengladbach's Europa League game last week due to injury.
While it was first thought that he would be out until January, Joe Gyau has been playing again with Borussia Dortmund's U-23 team.
Jeff Carlisle did a USMNT report card for 2014.
Gedion Zelalem and Junior Flores squared off against each other in UEFA Youth League action last week with Zelalem's Arsenal winning 1-0.
The US U-17 team has won its first two games at this year's Nike International Friendlies. They take on Brazil later today.
A bunch of news goodies came out in the last 24 hours. So let's dive into the links.
The USMNT roster for the next friendlies will likely come out this weekend/next Monday if I were a betting man, but ESPN's Doug McIntyre is reporting that Minnesota United's Miguel Ibarra will receive a call-up. If true, Ibarra will become the first US player from a US second-tier league since Clyde Simms in 2005. As for Ibarra, he is a 24-year-old midfielder who has scored eight goals in 21 league games for Minnesota this season. Here are some highlights of Ibarra.
Speaking of rosters, here is Ecuador's roster for the friendly.
The other big news of the weekend is that John Brooks has been demoted to Hertha Berlin's U-23 team. There has been some confusion over the translation as some people think the articles have said that he will be cut or waived, but he is not in good standing with Hertha manager Jos Luhukay. But he has at least been demoted for now.
Aron Johannsson and AZ Alkmaar have a new manager in John van den Brom. His last coaching stint was at Anderlecht with Sacha Kljestan the last couple of seasons. It always seems like American players in Europe end up playing for a coach who just recently managed another US player.
FIFA has added 2016 Copa America to the international calendar, which means we should expect to see the best players at the tournament as clubs will have to release players for the tournament.
The US U-23 team is headed to Brazil to take on the Brazilian U-23 team during October's international break. No roster has been announced yet, but this will be the second camp for the U-23 team in the last three months after beating Bahamas 5-1 back in August.
DeAndre Yedlin was on ExtraTime Radio last week and said he is working on getting his Latvian passport. If he can get it soon, he could join Tottenham in January otherwise he will have to go through the UK work permit process and likely won't be able to join the club until next summer.
Tim Howard was named to ESPN's Premier League Team of the Weekend after coming up with some big saves in the Merseyside derby.
Also this past weekend, we had goals from Edgar Castillo and Marc Heider (and our goal tracker has the other non-highlights goals). We also had assists from Mix Diskerud and Michael Stephens, while Timothy Chandler basically had an assist.
At the youth level, Kyle Scott had another assist for Chelsea's U-18 team. And Luca de la Torre is getting some playing time with Fulham's U-18 team.
If Cristiano Ronaldo leaves for Manchester United, who will be his heir apparent at Real Madrid? ESPN asks this question then threw some names out there of some young players, including Julian Green.
Bolton manager Dougie Freedman hopes to manage Stuart Holden again in the future. Holden is out of contract, but he is being allowed to rehab at his own pace (and hopefully correctly) then they will see where he stands with the club once he is ready to go again.
Edgar Castillo scored his first league goal since 2010-11 on Saturday in Atlas' 2-1 loss to Monterrey. Alonso Hernandez also came off the bench for Monterrey. Here is Castillo's goal.
This summer has been a busy one and here are a bunch more links from the last couple of days.
The big news of yesterday was that DaMarcus Beasley signed a DP contract with the Houston Dynamo. He becomes the 10th current USMNT player on a designated player contract with MLS.
Danny Williams had surgery on his knee earlier this week. This is the second time in the last five months that Williams has had some form of surgery on his knee. No word on how serious or how long he will be out.
Freddy Adu appears to be in talks with FK Jagodina in Serbia. And he is also getting some interest from a team in Cyprus.
Juan Agudelo has been in Florida training with Orlando City, but much like Brek Shea a couple months ago, this is just a training thing. He won't be signing with Orlando City.
Jozy Altidore's summer vacation is finally ending as he is expected to be back with Sunderland today.
Much like Jermaine Jones throwing out the first pitch with the Dodgers a couple weeks ago, Geoff Cameron did the same with the Red Sox last week and Brad Guzan did it with the Cubs this week.
Do you like stats and numbers? I did a quick look at Tim Howard, Brad Guzan, Geoff Cameron and Alejandro Bedoya yesterday. I plan on doing another one next week on a couple guys from the Championship.
A few of the younger US players (and prospects) will be making the trek to the US with their European teams in the next week. Gedion Zelalem is on Arsenal's roster which will take on the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Emerson Hyndman made Fulham's squad which is headed to Jacksonville to take on DC United this weekend. And we already know that Julian Green is with Bayern Munich as they take on the MLS All-Stars. Pep Guardiola spoke to the US press about Green and how he doesn't want to loan him out this year.
Another youth player, Lynden Gooch, has been receiving some praise from Sunderland fans this week. Gooch came off the bench with Sunderland's first team in a friendly against Carlisle United on Tuesday. Then he made another appearance with the first team on Wednesday in a friendly against Hartlepool United and assisted on one goal (GIF highlights).
Alfredo Morales scored a goal for FC Ingolstadt in a friendly against Nurnberg earlier this week. Here is a photo of Morales in action.
Sacha Kljestan is still with Anderlecht and went the full 90 minutes in a friendly earlier this week.
Brek Shea is receiving some praise for his play in Stoke City's friendly against Borussia Monchengladbach.
Edgar Castillo (and his odd #1 jersey number) talked to Tom Marshall about still trying to keep the USMNT dream alive.
Bobby Wood came off the bench in 1860 Munich's 3-0 win over SV Heimstetten in a friendly yesterday. Here is a photo of him in action.
For those of you holding out to buy a Junior Flores/Borussia Dortmund jersey, you can go get those #22 jerseys now. For those ultimate soccer jersey hipsters, Alonso Hernandez will wear #13 for Monterrey in Mexico.
Will Packwood played with Birmingham City's U-21 team the other day in a private friendly. Sounds like he missed a little time recently "after suffering from illness", but he is now back in action.
The US U-20 team now knows the format for January's CONCACAF U-20 Championship. It will be two groups of six teams with the winners of each group clinching a spot in the U-20 World Cup, while the second and third place teams from each group doing a four-team playoff for the last two spots.
One player who might be on that U-20 team, Fernando Arce Jr., talked to Brian Sciaretta about selecting to play for the US over Mexico even though his dad played for Mexico.
Goalkeeper Phil Saunders has signed with Icelandic 1st Division side BÍ/Bolungarvik.
Former Bucknell product Conor O'Brien made the jump to Denmark out of college and now another Bison is headed to Denmark. This time it is Mayowa Alli and he is signing with Vensyssel in the Danish First Division (second tier).
With Roma in Boston this week, Keith Costigan talked to Roma president James Pallotta and Pallotta claims that we can expect "an announcement in the next few weeks" in regards to an American going to the club. Could the DeAndre Yedlin deal be back on or could it be another player? Or could it be nothing? I have no clue.
US Soccer and Sporting Kansas City are building a new National Training and Coaching Development Center in Kansas City. Sounds like this would be the main training hub for coaches and refs, while I think they will also get some USMNT/USWNT/youth team camps at the complex (along with the StubHub Center in Carson, California) once it is completed.
In the random but awesome jersey department. I want this jersey of a lower level Spanish team. And if the Big Ten had pro-style jerseys with sponsors, here is what one person thinks they would look like. Basically my Hawkeyes would be Borussia Dortmund.
And finally, this site has been receiving a lot more traffic this month (likely due to the World Cup fever) along with a lot more Twitter and Facebook followers. If you are new to the site, thanks for checking us out. If you are not new to the site, thanks for continuing to check us out. It is nice to see this site grow with all of you.
Want some links? Well, here you go.
The big news of the weekend was that Matt Besler and Graham Zusi signed DP contracts through 2018 with Kansas City. Besler wrote a letter to Kansas City fans explaining why he decided to stay in KC. There are now nine current USMNT players with DP contracts in MLS.
MLS Insider did a video on the MLS players on the USMNT returning from Brazil.
No team ran more in the field (per game) than the US at the World Cup.

According to Greg Seltzer, DeAndre Yedlin to Roma is dead. There are still other teams interested in him.
And according to Steven Goff, free agent DaMarcus Beasley is close to signing with MLS. And something could be finalized by the end of the week.
Not really a surprise, but Julian Green was named to Bayern Munich's roster for their US tour. They will take on the MLS All-Stars in Portland on August 6.
Brek Shea played 45 minutes in the second half of Stoke City's 1-1 draw to Borussia Monchengladbach in a friendly over the weekend. According to reviews that I have read, he played well and you can watch the entire second half right here.
Joe Gyau scored Borussia Dortmund's winning goal in a 4-3 win over Heidenheim in a friendly on Saturday. Here are a couple photos of Gyau in action. Kicker also listed Gyau in their top 20 players in 3. Liga for this upcoming season (if he stays with Dortmund's U-23 team).
Duane Holmes scored one goal and assisted on another in Huddersfield Town's 4-1 win over Guiseley in a friendly on Monday.

Nicholas Gaitan has been promoted to OFI Crete's first team for this season.
The New York Daily News is reporting that 14-year-old Noah Leeds was offered a place in Sevilla FC's youth academy.
That is it for links. I should be posting a little stats thing tomorrow.
In case you have been kidnapped Taken-style over the last 48 hours, the US kicked off the Send-Off Series with a 2-0 win over Azerbaijan on Tuesday. Here are some highlights and some photos from the game. Here is also a short video on the game and Chris Wondolowski from the San Jose Earthquakes Youtube channel. Clint Dempsey was a late scratch with a groin issue, but it is not serious and he will only miss one or two days.
This Landon Donovan shirt is awesome. And this song might be the only country song I like. Jimmy Conrad/KICKTV have their latest Group G video up and this time Jimmy is in Ghana. I want to have a beer with Jimmy at some point in my life.
As I posted yesterday, reports out of England have Tim Ream agreeing to a new three-year deal with Bolton.
Edgar Castillo is leaving Tijuana for fellow Liga MX side Atlas.
We posted Brad Evans' comments about being cut from the USMNT and now Clarence Goodson is speaking out about the process. And he doesn't seem like he is happy.

And finally, a reminder to sign up for MLS's Brazil Bracket Challenge and join our league.
The USMNT camp is going strong up in Palo Alto, now with all 30 guys as Jermaine Jones and Aron Johannsson have showed up.
Jeff Carlisle has your daily notebook. The quick notes from that include Jurgen Klinsmann thinks Tim Howard is a top five goalkeeper in the world, Aron Johannsson is nearly back to 100% from his ankle injury and they had a couple scrimmages against the LA Galaxy's reserve team with Terrence Boyd scoring one goal during one of them. Plus a couple other things, so go read it.
George Dohrmann spoke to Aron Johannsson about wanting to heat up on the scoring before the World Cup.
Brian Sciaretta talked to one of the few Liga MX players in camp: Joe Corona.
Leander Schaerlaeckens takes a look at the USMNT fullback situation. Under Jurgen Klinsmann, the US has used 17 different players at either right back or left back for a total of 24 different combinations. One of the other tidbits from Carlisle's notebook linked above is that Fabian Johnson played at right back during one of those scrimmages. I have said it before on here, but I think my preferred back line at the moment would be Johnson-Cameron-Besler-Beasley.
If you are going to be in Chicago during the World Cup, US Soccer is holding viewing parties at Grant Park for each of the group stage games. And from my own experience from the last World Cup, the Globe Pub was another awesome place to check out a game. I was there during the Algeria game and I will always remember how crazy the back room got when Landon Donovan scored (just a refresher).
US Soccer held a Google Hangout with Kyle Beckerman and DeAndre Yedlin yesterday. You can now check it out on Youtube.
And in the random department, US Soccer has named Lupe Fiasco as the Music Director for the USMNT and Futura Art Director for the USMNT's World Cup campaign. I really don't know what that means, but I like this song.
Moving away from the USMNT camp.
Timothy Chandler has been linked to Eintracht Frankfurt in the past and here is another link about this.
You can add Atlas to the list of teams interested in Edgar Castillo's services.
Fresh off his goal from the weekend, Caleb Stanko has signed a professional deal with Freiburg's first team.
US Soccer has a video up on Rubio Rubin as he talks about playing in the Netherlands and the Dallas Cup.
And finally, Brad Friedel reads some "mean tweets". And I like how one of them came from Travis Clark.
The USMNT camp is chugging along at Stanford this week. Jeff Carlisle has a notebook of tidbits from the last couple of days. We are now at 28 of 30 guys in camp with Aron Johannsson and Jermaine Jones being the last two stragglers since they had club commitments on Sunday. Cody Cropper has also been in camp helping out at goalkeeper since Tim Howard and Brad Guzan were late arrivals (and it never hurts to give him some experience).
US Soccer has a short video recapping the first week of camp. They also put up some photos from yesterday's training session.
Grant Wahl talked to Michael Bradley about all three of the US's opponents in Group G. One of those opponents, Portugal, already whittled their 30-man roster down to 23 guys.
Slate has a story up on the history of the wonderful 1994 denim kits. Shameless plug for our USMNT jersey history page.
Back to Cody Cropper for a second as he was offered a contract extension at Southampton.

It looks like Danny Williams is going to have surgery on his knee that gave him issues for a lot of this past last season.
While Greg Seltzer told us that various Eredivisie teams were interested in Juan Agudelo last week, he has confirmed that FC Utrecht is one of those clubs.

Due to some financial issues, Hapoel Tel Aviv had to release a few foreign players including Bryan Gerzicich.
According to this report, US U-20 forward Benji Lopez was on trial with Panathinaikos last week.

Ruby Falls at Lookout Mountain
Started heading back from the Lost Sea adventure and decided we were close enough to slip over to see Ruby Falls at Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga . An hour and half drive later we arrived in the rain. But inside the caves going to the falls was absolutely beautiful and awesome.Its unreal to think that a guy in the sixties decided to crawl what ended up to be ...

... on to Warner-Robins, GA where we planned to stay with Ible's parents. There were many things we could have done along the way, but we still were tired from not only D.C., but from the entire trip in general. The traveling and constant moving around from one place to the next (plus all of the stress that along with such a trip) began to take it's toll on us. So, reluctantly, we decided to push our way to GA, the next day.

When compared to Chan's Hong Kong efforts "Rumble in the Bronx" pales in comparison in many areas. In terms of Chan's American films "Rumble in the Bronx" is easily his best American film.
Rumble in the Bronx tells the story of a young man visiting and helping his uncle in New York City finding himself forced to fight a street gang and the mob with his martial art skills. The subplots carry the narrative, but as a whole the story is unremarkable. There's no drama of any kind or buildup for any major scenes. It all runs at a brisk pace and it'll be over before you know it. It barely reaches the 90 minutes mark and in that amount of time it justifies some of the action scenes. It's not entirely brainless so when a fight occurs so it's more forgivable even if it was unneeded. It has an inconsistent tone. While it's not directly shown it is implied the villains did kill two people by putting them in wood-chippers. The ending also leaves something to be heavily desire. It just ends after without a proper closure on the story. The story contains enough material to sustain your interest for its short duration and Chan signature humor will get a laugh out of you.
In terms of production it's clearly low budget, but the filmmakers made good use of what they had. Chan performs some dangerous stunts and while not as dangerous anything in his "Police Story" series. The stunts here are no less exciting. The fight choreography is typical Chan style and that's a good thing. Chan always knows how bring a different kind of energy into his fight scenes being able to incorporated humor without slowing the flow of the action. Since this is Chan you should expect nothing less but fast pace action with elaborate fight scenes and nice used of props. The dubbing on the other hand can get annoying. Some of the dubbing makes things unintentionally hilarious. The cast acting is nothing noteworthy, but do a decent job to not ruin the film when Chan's not on screen. Chan is in the leading role with the acting chops and martial art skills to make for one exciting action hero.
Rumble in the Bronx is best watched when you got around 90 minutes to spare. It's not a memorable Martial Art movie, but it has enough here to entertain you and it's short run time makes sure it's over before it over stays its welcome.

The nearly perfect 2002 Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and the rest dollops of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. This exotic, full-throttle, nearly over-the-top red wines intensity, richness and smoky coffee notes intermixed with notions of chocolate, graphite, and jammy blackberry and black currant fruit ooze from the glass. This rich, concentrated beauty tastes more like a top-notch, young Right Bank Bordeaux from a vintage such as 2009 than a wine dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon. With stunning purity and awesome potential, it can be drunk now or cellared for another two decades. (RP)
(6/ 2012)
Displaying extraordinary aromatics, this shows a wealth of flavor, finesse, richness and grace. Pure, sleek cherry, berry and pomegranate notes are woven together with enticing floral scents. Keeps gaining depth and dimension without weight. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.2002 California Cabernet blind retrospective (May 2012). Drink now through 2022. (Web-2012)
Full medium ruby. Brooding, medicinal aromas of black fruits. Sweet, chewy and deep, with flavors of dark berries, violet, minerals and game freshened by harmonious acidity. Finishes long and ripe, with fine, sweet, building tannins. Green notes that the Merlot in this blend is actually tighter and less fleshy than the Cabernet.

I was at my LHBS this weekend and they set me up with these ingredients for a chocolate stout.
This is a partial mash recipe.
3.0 Lbs LME
5.25 Lbs Maris Otter Malt
0.75 Lbs Chocolate Malt
0.50 Lbs Crystal 60L Malt
1.0 oz Sovereign Hops 5.7% AAU (60 Min)
5.0 oz Cocoa Nibs (2.5 oz @ 15 mins / 2.5 oz in secondary)
Wyeast 1098 British Ale Yeast
Please let me know what you think. I'm happy to adjust the recipe based on suggestions. Thanks in advance!!
I'd thrown in some roasted barley and do all of the nibs in secondary.
I was thinking 6 oz of cocoa powder about 10 mins from the end of the boil and using all of the nibs in the secondary. Will that be to chocolaty?
I use 8 oz. of nibs in a 5 gallon batch which is perfect for my tastes. I prefer the taste of nibs to powder, but I know a lot of people use powder at flame out. I don't think 6 oz. would be too much, but make sure you are using powder that doesn't contain fat or sugar.
any particular brand of cocoa powder? Also, how much roasted barley? I can't handle too much more grain than I have.
Winderslim makes a fat free cocoa powder that works great for brewing.
Here is mine, its all grain. I will post a PM in a minute.
10 lbs of 2 row
1.5 lbs Choc Malt
1.0 Carafa III
1.0 Crystal 60 L
.25lbs Cara-pils
1.0 oz Warrior for 60 minutes.
.5 Amarillo for 30 minutes
.25 Simicoe for 30 minutes
.5 Amarillo for 15 minutes
.25 Simicoe for 15 minutes
.5 Amarillo for 5 minutes
.25 Simicoe for 5 minutes
Irish Moss.
Safale 05 - 2 Packets.
They call him easy.....easy brewer.....
PM Recipe:
6.3 Pale Liquid Extract
2.15 lbs 2 Row
1.5 lbs Choc Malt
1.0 Carafa III
1.0 Crystal 60 L
.25lbs Cara-pils
Also You could do this:
8.0 Pale Liquid Extract
1.5 lbs Choc Malt
1.0 Carafa III
1.0 Crystal 60 L
.25lbs Cara-pils
Thanks for the help! Will the sovereign hops work ok for a chocolate stout? LHBS said that this beer should really only have bittering hops.
Anybody? Just trying to find out of Sovereign hops are a good bittering hop for chocolate stout.

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 10 October 2012
Ludorum have adopted Redboard's storyboarding and animation pre-production system for their 4th Series of Chuggington. Chuggington follows the exciting adventures of young trainees Wilson and his friends Brewster and Koko as they learn to ride the rails. The show is broadcast on CBeebies and is a truly global property aimed at 2-5 year olds, shown in over 178 territories and translated into 27 languages.
Redboard is a revolutionary pre-viz technology that allows you accurately plan and manage your animation production. Starting at the pre-production and storyboarding stage, you can seamlessly transfer design, camera and scene data into your CG workflow. Much more than a simple storyboard application, Redboard benefits directors and producers alike by maximising the clarity of pre-production data, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming corrections later in the process.
The Head of Technology at Redboard, Neil Marsden, explained some of the issues involved: Chuggington represents a significant challenge from a pre-production perspective. There are a huge number of characters who inhabit a complex dynamic world with a considerable number of sets and environments. In addition most of the main characters need to operate on a seemingly limitless number of tracks. Ludorum wanted an easy-to-use solution that would allow them to accurately transfer the storyboards and pre-production data to their studio in China.

Dr. Li was so friendly and genuine. I felt like she was truly concerned about me and my health.UofU Patient January 30, 2015
Malena Li seemed condescending and judgmental of our views and parenting practices. After a 40 minute wait she came in and left after about 7 minutes. She did not perform my child's 15 month well child check and informed us to return in two weeks. We are both working parents also attending school and this decision will hurt us financially and will be hard to reschedule as we have such tight schedules. Then she forgot we had needed vaccines and we waited another 10 minutes until someone realized we were still there. I will not return to see her and would recommend her to no one.UofU Patient January 26, 2015
It was the first time seeing Dr. Li, I was very happy with the visit! I have already referred friends to her!UofU Patient January 24, 2015
Dr. Li is great.UofU Patient January 21, 2015
I was supposed to receive a tetanus shot, but was ushered out of the clinic without one.UofU Patient January 17, 2015
The technician and the front desk staff were great, my dis-satisfaction is only for the doctorUofU Patient January 12, 2015
Physician turnover at the clinic is fairly high. This is the first time I've seen Dr. Li and will likely continue should she remain on staff at the clinic. For chronic care issues, turn over can be problematic. It happens in all areas but seems to be more prevalent here. Perhaps as this is a research institution it's to be expected but can be a little disconcerting at times. Hopefully physician retention will be a priority in family practice.UofU Patient January 10, 2015
Dr Li is awesome!UofU Patient December 23, 2014
I was prescribed three medications and she did go over them with me, the one area where after the appointment I wish I had more information regarding was the inhaler, the most info I got was that it was a stronger inhaler but not a steroid. I would have liked some more information, but it wasn't a real problem for me, particularly since I didn't think of questions until after the appointment and I was able to talk with the pharmacist. Another thing is I've seen Dr Li about three or more times this year and it doesn't seem like she remembers me very well, she doesn't reference or ask after past health concerns that we had discussed in relation to new health issues.UofU Patient December 13, 2014
GoodUofU Patient December 12, 2014
Dr. Li is exceptionally suited for the medical discipline and very skilled.UofU Patient December 03, 2014
Dr. Li is fabulous. She was very friendly and made me feel at ease, but what I appreciate most is her followup. I had a chronic cough which we initially treated with Flonase because we felt it might be related to allergies and sinus drainage. When my cough continued, Dr. Li had me return for an xray and we moved to antibiotics. She responded to all of my questions in the office and after my appointment via email and even sent an email to MyHealth Chart to see how I was doing. Exceptional care! Thank you Dr. Li!UofU Patient November 24, 2014
dr. li was in a big hurrayUofU Patient November 23, 2014
Dr. Li was friendly, respectful, and thorough.UofU Patient November 21, 2014
Per earlier comment. Not sure if doctor was trying to hurry through b/c expectation for appointment was incorrect - but dismissed some prevention/screening which is standard for physical - did absolute minimum.UofU Patient November 16, 2014
She was KnowledgeableUofU Patient October 21, 2014
I feel like Doc. Li cares and I trust the information that she provided me with, as well as made me feel comfortable in the exam roomUofU Patient October 17, 2014
I had a very good experience on my first visit I will definitely recommend this clinic and Dr. Li is incredibleUofU Patient October 17, 2014
I really liked Dr. Li. I will plan on visiting with her next time.UofU Patient October 13, 2014
Very good.UofU Patient October 01, 2014
I have only seen Dr. Li twice. The first visit, she had a hard time listening instead of talking. She was much more calm and attentive the second visit. I think she will be open to me telling her specifically what I need to feel comfortable during my future visits.UofU Patient September 27, 2014
I felt more confident in Dr. Li's diagnosis vs. Dr. Sandygren since she actually listened to my lungs properly and noticed fluid in my ear.UofU Patient September 25, 2014
Dr. Li is great. I appreciate her perspective on medicine and thoughtfulness to not over prescribing medications. She only recommends medications when they seem to be truly needed and there are no alternatives. Very polite, firendly, and professional.UofU Patient September 24, 2014
goodUofU Patient September 19, 2014
I didn't think of it at the time, but afterwards had more questions about the medication and follow-up.UofU Patient September 13, 2014
Dr Li was very thoughtful and I felt comfortable talking to her.UofU Patient September 03, 2014
Please call me to have me help you with improving your questionnaire! :)UofU Patient August 29, 2014
Dr. Li is amazing! I was sad when Leigh Elrod left but Dr. Li is fun, engaging, very informative and has so far been a fantastic provider. I'm glad she's here.UofU Patient August 28, 2014
Dr. Li listened carefully and helped me understand what my options were.UofU Patient August 26, 2014
I had 5 problems I wanted to address with my new pcp, but was only ever asked about the main reason for the visit. there was no attempt made for agenda-setting anywhere in the visit, and no one ever bothered to ask me if I had any other issues to address. this is a very big problem for any pcp visit.UofU Patient August 20, 2014
My provider was considerate, attentive, and easy to understand. I have a complicated health problem, however, and it is difficult to identify any one particular cause or solution. She presented several different options for moving forward.UofU Patient August 19, 2014
Dr. M. Li is an extremely competent medical care provider.UofU Patient August 18, 2014
Overall, Dr. Li is great. I was sad to see my old provider go, so was nervous about seeing someone new. I like that Dr. Li has a more 'natural' approach with medicine (e.g., if you can fix something without having to take medicine, than that is usually the best route). This is line with my thoughts as well. She asked me a lot of questions about my health, which I appreciated. It felt like she did a very comprehensive job. My provider forgot to prescribe me one of the medications we dicussed, however. I didn't realize it until I went to the pharmacy. I plan to follow-up to get that resolved (not a huge issue), but that was the one issue I had from the visit.UofU Patient August 13, 2014
the Dr. was great!UofU Patient August 08, 2014
Dr. Li was very caring and showed much interest for my comfort and concern. I didn't feel the procedure for my ingrown toenail went as smoothly as it could have gone. It was painful and I felt unsure of the progress of the procedure. However, I don't have experience with numbing medicine and its affects. I was given more numbing medicine 2 times after the first time.UofU Patient August 08, 2014
This was my first visit with Dr. Li, as I could not see my current doctor for almost a month. I will probably change primary care to Dr. Li.UofU Patient July 20, 2014
both the supporting staff and Dr. Li were very helpful and professional.UofU Patient July 15, 2014
Dr. Li was wonderful. She seems very competent and I felt very confident in the care she provided to my daughter.

Sportblog + Rugby World Cup
Stuart Lancaster has done a decent job by any standards and had every right to be livid at RFU chief executive's remarks
The bigger picture follows later in the year but Friday's Six Nations opener in Cardiff will be as fiercely fought as ever for two nations with a shared horror of losing to the other
England name their Six Nations squad on Wednesday and should invoke the RFU clause to bring Steffon Armitage over to train and pick form players to face Wales
Dean Ryan: England's autumn Tests will reveal where they stand in the global order with the Springboks and Australia the ones to watch
Robert Kitson: Exactly a year until the kick-off of the 2015 World Cup, Stuart Lancaster wants his England players psychologically ready to focus for seven weeks on the goal of lifting the World Cup
Dean Ryan: England's world-class players are restricted to the pack and much rests on the shoulders of the fly-half Owen Farrell with the World Cup looming. And then there's Slammin' Sam
Paul Rees: If the French Rugby Federation gets its way the issue of spending in Europe could be addressed as a whole rather than by country
Robert Kitson: Having established that Steffon and Delon Armitage remain keen to pull on an England jersey again, there is nothing to lose by putting both on standby for the New Zealand tour
Eddie Butler: One scratchy position out of 15 is not a bad position for England to be in a year and a half before a Rugby World Cup at home
Dean Ryan: The remedy to scrum confusion, highlighted in the Six Nations, probably lies with the players as much as the law-makers. Both sides must want to scrummage and create a proper contest
Paul Rees: Former Lions captain Gareth Thomas believes the Six Nations showed England will be tough hosts at the 2015 tournament
Robert Kitson: Ireland's Six Nations victory over France may have cost England the title but it could have subtle ramifications for the 2015 Rugby World Cup
Dean Ryan: Lancaster's appointment has been littered with good decisions, including his 2014 Six Nations squad, but the European tournament was a powerful tool and gave him the ability to fast-track potential stars
Richard Williams: the 1995 rugby World Cup final presented the perfect opportunity to be up close and personal to the great man
Remembering the moment a decade ago when Jonny Wilkinson's drop-goal in the Rugby World Cup final defeated Australia and made England champions of the world
Dean Ryan: Stuart Lancaster has more questions than answers as he tries to build England into a winning force for the 2015 World Cup
Robert Kitson: Two years out from the World Cup, the form of New Zealand and, increasingly, South Africa, is extremely ominous
Martin Pengelly: Mike Tolkin's team have had a difficult season, building up to two games which carry the prize of a place at England 2015
Robert Kitson: With London hosting 16 games and Cardiff eight, the choice of venues is a slap in the face for union fans in the north

H1N1 at the Coast Guard Academy
By Christopher Albon
Ten percent of the incoming Coast Guard Academy class has H1N1:
"We were expecting to see the number go up before it came back down because we had a lot of tests out still," Petty Officer Ryan Doss, an academy spokesman, said Monday. "The flipside is that the number of people coming into the clinic feeling symptomatic has gone down. We hope it's an indication that this is going to keep declining, but we're going to stay prepared for anything."
There is a decent amount of people out there with the opinion that "It's just the flu". They are right, it is just the flu this time. However, the procedures we put in place for the flu now will likely be the same used in an inevitable future outbreaks of a more virulent pathogen. To venture dangerously into a sports metaphor: H1N1 is simply the exhibition game before the start of the real thing. We get it right now so we know what to do when it the disease is far more serious.
Hat Tip: Matt Berger.
