Winning Techniques
Winning Techniques
The manual can only take you so far. In order to prove yourself on this virtual pitch, you'll need great reflexes, a thirst for blood and some serious skill. We've put in the hours... winning the Continental Cup multiple times with all of the teams... now benefit from our obsession. We've put together a list of tricks that will give you an immediate edge the moment you step on the field.
Know Your Body Types
Certain body types work better for certain functions on offense. Smaller players are usually fastest, and able to key plays downfield. Their shot release is quick, even though their shots aren't the hardest. Use them on the receiving end of a one-timer for a quick, crisp shot--or deliver the pass with their speediness.
Big, fat players are designed for power. Use them to torque on the goalie, or blow goals by him once he's been worn down. If possible, charge up the shot before unleashing it, as it will do a lot more damage. Large players are slow and not as quick with passing, so they aren't good set-up players.
Every team has one medium-range player that is good at everything, but not exceptional at a specific thing (Rico on El Fuego is a good example). While in Quest Mode, power these guys up first. Give them more speed and power and they'll pay you back with tons of production. Not they aren't good to begin with... just not great.
Use the One-Timer
On to game strategy. The best weapon in your mighty arsenal is one that you can use regardless of your combo points, Killer Kick or Spotlight Shot situation. It is also the only way you will consistently beat a goalie with all of his armor intact.... it's the one timer. The one-timer is best set up with your medium-sized player and delivered to your smaller or larger player. You can do it from anywhere on the pitch, but it works best from the corner.
Here's how to do it. Grab the ball and start heading up the wing. If you have a defender on you, deke and protect accordingly to maintain possession. At midfield, put on the turbo and head down to the corner. As you're approaching the end line, flick the ball quickly across the goal mouth. It should be a diagonal pass that avoids the keeper and finds a streaking player on the far post. As you pass, press the shoot button to perform a one-timer. Either you'll smoke the goalie or leave him in a supremely bad position for a rebound shot. To add another wrinkle, do a give and go pass in front of the goal to really confuse the keeper, then thump it home.
Charge up Your Shots
Although you can add zip to your shots by using turbo, Spotlight Shots or Killer Shots, there is an esier way to add some spice. Instead of just tapping the shoot button, hold it down and your shot will become charged up. You'll notice a meter below your player begin to fill. When it hits red, let go and your player will perform a special aerial shot that packs a lot of power. Not only is it easier to get it past the keeper with this sort of attack, it also beats him up and adds to your Combo points.
Beat up the Keeper
Shellacking the goaltender is crucial to your offensive success. When the goalie is at the center of his net at the beginning of a fresh game, he is almost impossible to beat. He wears heavy armor to protect himself and he's very agile... but you can change all of that. By consistently pumping hard shots into him, you'll begin to knock pieces of his armor off. The more pieces he loses, the slower to react he'll become. Eventually, even the lamest shots can sneak in.
There are a lot of different shots that will soften up the keeper. A fully charged regular shot will beat him up pretty good, as will a direct hit on a Killer Kick or Spotlight Shot. If you can keep the ball in the opponent's end of the field long enough, you can bomb the keeper with a couple of fully-charged blasts. On the third attempt, he'll likely be too slow to react, especially if the third shot is well placed.
Once you (or the other team) scores a goal, all of your progress will be lost. The goalie will regain all of his armor and you'll have to start chipping away at it again. Beating up the keeper is a key ingredient to winning, so don't overlook it. The keepers in this game are too good to merely finesse all the live-long day.
Mix it Up
They say that variety is the spice of life. It's the spice of Soccer Slam, too-- a spice that will make a tasty soup, indeed. In order to give yourself the best chance of scoring, try it all--high shots, low shots, one-timers, high volleys, straight-on shots. The more you throw at the opposition, the more faces you show him/her, the harder you'll be to pin down.
Rack up Combos
One benefit of mixing it up is that you'll actually get rewarded for creative, good-looking, free-flowing play. You'll notice as you play that Combo Points are constantly being tracked. The more maneuvers you string together on the pitch, the faster your Combo Points grow. You get them for almost every function in the game: deking, passing (especially give-and-go passing), high passing, shooting, etc. One great way to string together a Combo is to steal the ball from an opposing player, deke, then protect, then charge up a shot and deliver it on goal. That may seem like a long string of things to do in a row, but as you get better at the game, it will become old hat. The more stuff you string together, the faster your Combo meter will grow.
What do you need that meter for anyway? Anything that involves a Power-Up requires Combo points to work. Therefore, if you want to do a Powered-Up shot, you have to gas in the tank to do it. This "gas" is measured by the Combo meter in the bottom corner of the screen. The ultimate goal is to fill the meter all the way up, enabling your team to perform a Killer Kick (discussed further below).
Once you have some Combo Points under your belt, you can now explore the L button. This is your key to the Power-Up realm. The Power-up temporarily makes your player faster, stronger, and much more glowy. Each team's power-up is represented in an individual way that is fitting for the team theme. Therefore, El Fuego's Power-Up makes the players glow with fire. Tsunami culls the power of water. Spirit calls on forces beyond this Earth (i.e. the dead).
Use Power-Ups to get a quick boost to aid in scoring. Don't use them for any other reason. It's not necessary to Power-Up to make a good pass or slide-tackle someone. The Power-up should be used about one second before you take a shot--in order to put some team-specific mustard on the ball. The best way to do a Power-Up shot is from the corner of the goal box into the opposite corner of the goal. Either this quick blast will zip past the goalie, or he'll have to dive for it, and lose some armor in the process. Then, you (or a teammate) can scoop up the rebound and quickly score. Another good way to utilize the power of this special shot is to drag across the mouth of the goal and aim for the corner you're moving to. If you're powered-up, the keeper often can't keep up with you, and may not be able to get to your blistering shot.
Either way, be sure to use Power-Up shots in the clear. Since you have to earn Combo Points to perform this maneuever, it's pretty valuable, and not to be squandered. If you try to rip a Power-Up shot in the midst of a group of people, that's just what you'll do. Your powerful shot will be wasted and you stand a good chance of turning the ball over.
Exploit Spotlight Shooting
Spotlight shooting can seriously improve your chances of scoring, if used properly. To get the spotlight to appear, hold the ball for a while in the opposing team's end. Do this by passing to open teammates, deking over steal attempts, protecting against hits, and generally just keeping the ball away from your foes. Once the spotlight appears, move inside it and press the shoot button. The screen will slow down Matrix-style and the camera will center behind you. In addition, a target will appear in the goal. The trick is to put the ball where the goalie isn't.
Try to catch the keeper out of position. If possible, wait for the keeper to go to one side of the goal, then step inside the spotlight and launch a shot. You can help yourself a lot by passing quickly to a player near the spotlight, then quickly stepping in and shooting. If the goalie is at the center of the net, you'll have a hard time getting it past him. Unless a lot of his armor has been knocked off, the keeper will usually get to your attempt, so don't be discouraged. The only time a goal is guaranteed on this kind of shot is if the keeper has no armor left (he'll get bowled over), he's on the ground, or he's on the opposite side of the goal. If you are playing with more than one person on a team, it isn't a bad idea to have one of your teammates go harass the keeper while you set-up the shot. This will greatly improve your chances.
Another thing that helps sneak it by is to wait until the last second to aim. This is especially helpful when playing against a human opponent who is controlling his goalie. By hesitating to show where you're going with the ball until the last possible moment, you'll cut down the goalie's reaction time, and also give the opposite team less time to see where a deflected shot might be headed.
The real benefit of the Spotlight Shot is that it weakens the keeper and puts him out of position. Make sure you are always aiming for the part of the net that is furthest from him. That way, he'll have to cover the maximum amount of ground and likely be vulnerable to a second shot. What you're looking for is the carom off of the keeper after you send a howitzer into his breadbasket. Quickly scarf the rebound, make a quick pass to the open side of the net, or simply bury it where the keeper ain't. By reacting quickly to rebounds, especially off of spotlight shots, you can score ridiculous amounts of goals, even on the Expert setting.
Capitalize on the Killer Kick
The same sort of strategy applies to the Killer Kick, as it employs the same kind of mechanics to operate. The difference between the Spotlight and Killer Kick is that you actually earn the Killer by charging up with Combo points. You'll know when you've earned enough points, as the Killer Kick meter (in the bottom corner of the screen) will be full. The beauty of the Killer Kick is that you choose when and where to launch it, making it a powerful weapon indeed. However, as Spider-Man will tell you, with great power comes great responsibility. It is easy to misuse, and therefore, waste the Killer Kick. We're here to help you not do that.
Never use the Killer Kick from your own end of the field. It will do nothing unless you're past midfield. A good place to launch a Killer Kick is midway down the flank, facing toward the goal. Don't try to do it too deep in the corner, or your player could end up rocketing against the boundary wall, and you'll lose all of those hard-earned combo points.
The perfect time to launch a Killer Kick is right after you rock the goalie with either a Spotlight Shot or charged-up shot. He will be tired and likely out of position, and you can hit him with the knockout blow. As with the Spotlight Shot, you can use a teammate to run interference with the keeper while you set the shot up. It is even easier to do this with the Killer Kick, since you determine the time when you're going to do it.
Try to avoid launching a Killer Kick toward a player in the middle of a crowd. As you will try to do, the opposing team likes to knock you off the ball, and that will ruin a lot of hard work.
Big Means Hit, Small Means Slide
Right? Not always. Actually, tall players are the most likely to steal a ball. Small players are still usually the fastest, and should steal, as their hitting is not that great. But large players have options. Since they are often quite beefy, their swats are likely to knock an opponent to the ground, freeing up the ball. But stealing is usually the better option, as it is usually more successful.
Why? Two reasons. It is harder to land a punch than it is to steal or slide tackle someone to get the ball. Also, when you swing, you stop and swing. Stealing usually doesn't involve a lot of stopping. Slide tackling (which is an extension of stealing) is all about movement and momentum. Therefore, it is much more effective to hit people without the ball and steal from those with the ball, as it doesn't leave you as vulnerable.
Keep the Ball Out of the Middle
The computer knows how to play the game, especially on the more difficult settings. It knows to use one-timers, to knock down your goalie and to exploit the angles. But you can cripple the computer (or a know-it-all human opponent), by following one simple rule: keep the ball out of the middle. An opposing player crossing through the middle of the field with the ball is going to score if you don't stop him. Keep the ball from crossing the mouth of your goal and all will be golden. If you see a player casually sauntering through the middle of the field, drop him, or steal the ball. There are just too many options when you control the ball in the center. Take away those options.
Don't Waste the Power-Up on D
What did we say in the offense section? Never, ever, use a Power-Up on defense. It is a waste. Instead, save the Power-Up for the pursuit of points. The most a Power-Up on defense can do is to get the ball back from an opponent who is controlling it. But that can be accomplished by a simple slide tackle or steal, so there is no need to foolishly squander potential offense.
If in Trouble, ABC (Always Be Clearing)
When an opposing team is making you sweat in your own end, just get rid of the ball. The clear button is the same as the shoot button. Clearing will give you an opportunity to regroup, refill your Turbo meter, or bring defenders back to guard your goal. An alternate benefit to clearing is that it just might spark some offense, especially if your problem was that you had too many players on the other side of the field.
Knock Down Cherry-Pickers, Keepers
There are always those ne'er do wells who are hanging out at the far post just waiting for a pass to plunk the goal in. If you see them (especially in a multiplayer game), knock them down. They can't very well score from their keister. The same holds true of the keeper. If he's holding the ball an exceptionally long time, move in and start whaling on him. One of two things will happen: he'll be bothered by your annoying behavior and kick it or he'll drop the ball and you can zing it into the goal and teach him a lesson.
Defend the Spotlight and Killer Kick
The best way to defend the Spotlight and Killer Kick is to never allow them to occur. If you have a strict no-possession policy on your half of the pitch, and adhere to it, you will avoid a lot of problems. But if you're the kind of player (like most of us) who doesn't hold possession of the ball 100% of the time, you'll have to figure out other ways to beat these two special kicks.
With the Spotlight Shot, it is possible to steer the action away from the spotlight through hitting and slide-tackling. Assign a player to guard the spotlight and slide away the ball the moment it approaches the ray of light. Remember--the second you take possession, the spotlight will go away. Alternately, if they manage to step into the light, give your opponent a good jab. This will often suffice to knock off the rhythm and abort the shot attempt.
The same holds true for the Killer Kick. This one is even easier to defend because you have time to move into the cone of light and take down the player setting up for the shot with a good swat.
In both instances, if the shot does go off, it is unlikely it will automatically score. Watch where it goes and be ready for the rebound. Chances are, if you aren't the first to the ball, you'll get scored on, so make sure you scramble and pay attention to how the ball deflects. In Soccer Slam, winning the rebound battle is half of the game.

The allocation for ICDS Scheme has been reduced from Rs 18,195 crore in 2014-15 budget estimates to Rs 8,335.8 crore in 2015-16 budget estimates.
The Marine commandant, said tight budgets had required his force to prioritize training and equipment for units that were deploying abroad.
The Senate version would achieve a surplus a year later, in 2025, and assumes nearly $1 trillion in revenue from some expiring tax breaks.
Digital India, umbrella for various schemes, is one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship programmes that aims to make India a knowledge economy.
"There is a need to rejuvenate the demand scenario in the economy to boost manufacturing growth and to create more and more employment opportunities."
The government had earmarked a subsidy of 729.7 billion rupees for the current fiscal year ending March 31.
The NGO noted that allocation for children as percentage of total budget has also been falling since FY13 and in current Budget, it is only 3.26%.
The sources said FM Arun Jaitley was likely to set the total budget for subsidies at about $32 bn, down from $40 billion in the current financial year.

They need to get Pulkkimania in the Top 6. He isn't going to get many shots on goal playing bottom minutes...Maybe Babs will be tweaking lines all night and get him up there sometime in the game.

I may be in the minority, but I think its time for Pav and Erik to suck it up and take a couple of shots and get their ass on the ice tonight! I mean, I get it, injuries need to heal, but if they not on LTIR or even STIR and are always GTD's its time to lead this team by example! A bum knee NEVER stopped Yzerman from playing when it was crunch time, and again, I could be wrong, but this is probably THE most important game of the season, ya?
It's just drives me nuts! It seems that players in todays NHL miss WAY too many games due to nagging injuries instead of just "icing" it up and going out there and leading their team, NO, WILLING their team to victory!
For pete's sake, even Homer went out there and took his spot in front of the net during the PP's when he couldn't do much else, and more times than not, he scored a goal (or had one taken away) or did his job enough to allow a screened shot to go in. Buck up guys, they have treatments today that allow you to play pain free...They only need to look across the locker room at Miller for inspiration...not questioning Pav's heart, but something tells me that if he got hit like Drew, we wouldn't see him for at least a month. Same would go for a few other "stars" on our team...
Anyhow, its nice to see Riley back in...Lets get this done! 2 points in regulation would be awesome!
Posted by LeftWinger on 29 March 2015 - 08:41 PM
I admit that clearly Petr is not quite ready to handle a full time #1 job where he can go back to back a play at the same level both games. It just doesn't mean I think Jimmy is better. Petr is a rookie, whats Jimmy excuse? IMO Petr is better. But after watching today, he clearly isn't ready to take over the #1 legit spot yet, but he is hot on the heels of it!

Ya, its not like GM's go to Gm school to learn the game of hockey, or that they ALL played pro hockey either. Ken Holland has a greate business mind, and through his years of watching and learning the game from a kid and into his 1 pro game, he has become one of the GM's is all of sports.
Just because we are fans, doesn't mean we don't "know" hockey or even "know" hockey talent. Sure we all can't be GM's, but given the chance to learn the business aspect of the position, and with the amount of hockey knowledge that does grace our forum from a lot of our users, I bet someone on here could become a very competitive GM in the hockey world.

I get it now! The Wings have a great record against the West teams, right? They think that they are still in the West and these East games don't matter as much!
Why haven't any of us figured this out earlier! Sheesh!

So, Sheahan and Cole should be back for Ottawa, right? That should help out!
^^^ This. How many losing streaks have the Wings ended for their opponents?
Law of Averages?

This weekend has been a tale of two teams...I can man up and put this loss on Petr's shoulders for a couple of bad goals. Had to make that big stop when they made it 2-1...
Posted by LeftWinger on 29 March 2015 - 05:50 PM
All goalie issues aside, I truely believe that this team needs upgrades at D. Ericsson, Smith and Kindl are guys we could trade and not miss. I truely believe Smith is what he is and will not get any better. Maybe Holland will revisit the whole Phaneuf thing. I still don't want to give up Larkin or Mantha....the prospects of Hyman wanting to be a UFA puts us in the mix for him, but still, if we could upgrade to Phanuef, re-sign Zitz, maybe just maybe this teams D can be better. I really believe they over acheived early on and now things just aren't so good. Q hasn't been as bad as I thought, but again, he is just part of the problem. The D needs to get better, the goalies a hell of a lot more consistant. 4 goals should win you games, most nights.
Not that this game is over, but I do believe upgrades are needed.

Pretty bad when me as a Mrazek fan even gets blasted on after I say three times now he wasf****** up tonight... he played s***ty tonight. Thats the 4th and last time I am going to say it tonight. Lets hope s***stain can stop the bleeding.
Posted by LeftWinger on 29 March 2015 - 07:10 AM
I am all for the Wings collecting as many young talented kids as they can. If these guys DO have that Hull and Oates type chemistry, it would make tons of sense that he would want to become a FA and sign to play with Larkin. I hear Larkin is thinking about signing a contrat instead of returning to Michigan next season. That would put both of them together for the next step of their career's. I am only guessing that Hyman is doing this to play with Larkin, he may just not want to play with Florida. But I would be very excited to have both of those kids in our organization, along with the talent that is already there. Larkin, Mantha, AA, Pulkkinen (I know I am missing someone) and then add Hyman to that group...future gets even brighter!

16.08.2012 ETERNAL ESSENCEA Light in the DistanceAnmeldt av Matt Coe
(Mondo Tunes, 2012)Karakter: 4/6
Taking the jump from an instrumental progressive rock outfit to a full fledge vocal outfit may be murky waters for some artists- but not for New Jersey's Eternal Essence. Recording four instrumental albums during 2005-2010, vocalist Maria Vastano enters the fold to hopefully expand their following- and the contrasts between their conventional stance and her obvious affinity for more alternative/ modern rock mentors is obvious right from the get go. "Rise Above" and "Within A Dream" allow Maria to soar into Evanescence meets Staind territory, wrenching out the opposites of pain and excitement, tenderness with restraint as she prefers a slightly high range. Instrumentally Eternal Essence isn't overly technical with their parts- keyboardist Greg Rosenbilt often uses sparseness and a series of different tones to create sonic tension, most obvious in the 7:26 "Riven" with its darker ambiance. "A Tragic Subconscious" at 13:37 represents the epic song on the album, running through a variety of spirited instrumental sections and sound bites with drummer EJ Luna's rhythm chops put to the test a la Mike Portnoy during the middle section of the arrangement, providing cat and mouse fare against Gary Hoffman's guitar licks. Most of the 11 tracks do not overstay their welcome- with the average song keeping a 5 minute timeframe. Self-financed albums as ambitious as "A Light In The Distance" may have minor flaws- and I believe the production is adequate but could have been a bit stronger in the drum tone department- but overall Eternal Essence know their material and their style very well. Maria's vocals could give Eternal Essence a chance to grab a much more diverse audience- so those of you into progressive rock with a slight Dream Theater edge, this could be your sleeper hit of the season. www.reverbnation.com/eternalessence www.facebook.com/EternalEssenceNJ Andre omtaler:21.04.2015: BURWEED - Hide 21.04.2015: WINDSOR DRIVE - Windsor Drive 20.04.2015: IMPALERS - Prepare for War EP - re-issue 20.04.2015: GRUESOME - Savage Land 19.04.2015: THE POODLES - Devil in the Details 19.04.2015: DEAD EARTH POLITICS - Men Become Gods EP 18.04.2015: CHRONICLE - Welcome the Darkness 18.04.2015: SHEOL - Sepulchral Rains Below the Temple 17.04.2015: WARDENCLYFFE - Control All Delete 17.04.2015: CYRAX - Pictures 16.04.2015: MALTHUSIAN - Below The Hengiform 16.04.2015: INCANTATION - Entrantment of Evil 15.04.2015: AURON - Auron 15.04.2015: RELOAD - Hotter Than a Bullet 14.04.2015: BLEEDING GODS - Shepherd of Souls 14.04.2015: CORPUS CHRISTII - PaleMoon 13.04.2015: CRIMSON WIND - Last Poetry Line 13.04.2015: DISLOYAL - Godless 12.04.2015: ERED - Night of Eternal Doom 12.04.2015: GOUGE - Beyond Death |

Celebrate Mexican style anytime! Or, on May 5th (Cinco de Mayo) celebrate Mexico's independence from France.
Set the table ahead of time with tiny individual sombreros filled with red, green and white M&M's representing the colors in the Mexican flag.
Party Eats
If your party takes place in the winter, serve hot chocolate spiced with cinnamon. In the summer have drinks available "ice cold" in one of our sombreros.
The sombrero can do double duty as a prop when you teach your guests "The Mexican Hat Dance." The last song on Drews Latin Fiesta Music is the Mexican Hat Dance. Crank it up!
Younger children simply clap and move around the hat while older children and adults can be more creative as they dance around the hat.
A pinata is a must at a Mexican Fiesta. In true Mexican style, keep the pinata moving by moving the rope that the pinata hangs from. The pinata is harder to break this way, and it keeps everyone laughing!
More Eats!
Let guests make their own burritos using tortillas, meat mixture, refried beans, grated cheese, shredded lettuce, cut-up tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole.
Serve this Yummy Fiesta Dip. It's just what it says-YUMMY!
Yummy Fiesta Dip
- 16 oz. pkg. Velveeta cheese
- 1/2 lb. pork sausage, cooked and drained
- 10 oz. can Rotelle tomatoes
Warm in small crock pot until cheese melts. Or microwave all ingredients on high for 5 minutes until cheese melts. Stir after three minutes.
Serve with corn or tortilla chips.

Kent on Impact Fees as Takings
Michael B. Kent (Stetson/John Marshall) has posted Theoretical Tension and Doctrinal Discord: Analyzing Development Impact Fees as Takings, forthcoming in the William & Mary Law Review. Here is the abstract:
One of the lingering questions about the law of regulatory takings concerns the proper scope and application of the Supreme Court's exactions jurisprudence, known as the Nollan/Dolan test. A recurring issue in the case law, and of particular importance to this article, is the extent to which the Nollan/Dolan framework applies to takings challenges brought against development impact fees.
By and large, the decisions on the issue split over two primary issues. First, there is a debate about whether Nollan/Dolan is limited to physical exactions or whether the test might also apply to monetary exactions as well. Second, there is a difference of opinion over whether Nollan/Dolan applies only to exactions imposed in an ad hoc, adjudicative manner or also to those that are more broadly-applicable and established legislatively. These questions are important, but the primary emphasis on them has diminished other issues that also require attention. Particularly, there is a need to situate impact fees within the law of local government financing – i.e., determining whether they operate as fees or taxes – as that will have some bearing on the proper level of Takings Clause scrutiny to which they should be subjected. Only after wrestling with all of these issues can one move to the ultimate query of what analytical test is most appropriate.
This article attempts to answer these questions, fit impact fees into the Court's current takings jurisprudence, propose a new rule of decision for impact fee cases, and demonstrate how that rule might apply to basic factual situations. In short, I demonstrate that impact fees are hybrid animals that occupy a space at the theoretical and doctrinal crossroads of takings jurisprudence, property law, and the rules applicable to municipal finance. Second, in light of this hybrid quality, I propose that takings challenges to impact fees be analyzed under a hybrid framework that combines elements of Nollan/Dolan with the more flexible factor-balancing reserved for the majority of takings cases. Finally, I suggest several larger questions implicated by the impact fee problem that continue to require judicial and scholarly attention.

Nead IncRead MoreCuisine Type: Neapolitan and Sicilian pizza and appetizers Most popular offering: Finocchio Flower Power Pizza Reservations: Optional Kid-friendly: Yes Delivery / Take-out Available: Takeout only Alcohol: Full bar Number of Tables: 25?50 Outdoor Seating: No Established: 2012 Parking: Free street parking Handicap Accessible: Yes Pro Tip: All pizzas can be prepared gluten-free, but require additional cooking time. Please call in advance. Q&A with the Manager In your own words, how would you describe your menu? Our menu centers on authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizza. The Finocchio Flower Power won first place at the World Pizza Championships in Naples, Italy. We also cater to gluten-free and vegetarian customers, and our top-shelf bar offers classic Sicilian digestifs and aperitifs. D?cor can say a lot about the type of food a restaurant serves. How does your d?cor inform or reflect your culinary practice? The wood-fire pizza oven takes center stage. It was imported from Naples, weighs over two tons, and heats up to 900 degrees. The pies cook in less than 90 seconds, and we constantly rotate them so they cook evenly. Are there any dishes on the menu you consider to be a hidden gem?not necessarily the most popular, but surprisingly delicious? Our calamari are not your ordinary calamari. They are tender and not rubbery at all. We offer an amazing Cavolo Nero, which is Tuscan kale prepared in three different ways. We also have a new item called Aww...Nuts, which is prepared with pistachio nuts imported from Bronte, Sicily. Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover? Children are always welcome at Krescendo. Nancy, the Master Pizzaiola, loves to watch the young patrons play with the pizza dough that she brings to the table. If time permits, she will even show them how to "push" the pie.364 Atlantic AvenueBrooklyn, NY US

Of course, buying a whole new system isn't your only option: the techs can also clean, inspect, and repair existing A/Cs and furnaces to help them operate as efficiently as possible. Or, they can boost indoor air quality by cleaning air ducts and vents to rid them of debris and irritants such as dust, mildew, pollen, and dust mites. To do the job right, Go Green RHVAC's technicians use a truck-mounted machine specifically designed to clean air ducts. And, they can also apply an anti-microbial fog treatment that keeps bacteria and mold at bay for up to six months and allows homeowners to pretend they live in London for a few hours.18 Seely TerraceBloomfield, NJ US

Manager Roy Hodgson has said that he was delighted with the way the players stepped up against Ecuador because he now knows he has some selection headaches for when we open the World cup properly against Italy.
Ahead of the game against Honduras tonight, Hodgson encouraged those selected to make the most of their last opportunity to impress him before he turns his attentions to our starting lineup.
Speaking to theFA.com he said.
'It gives you that headache that all coaches say they want because you don't just have an eleven and then cover players, you have players that actually forcing their way into the team and will divide opinion.'
Hodgson goes on to say that in his mind it's fantastic that he feels whoever he starts with against Italy will divide opinion amongst fans because they will feel that x, y or z have earned the opportunity to have been in that line up and should've merited that first start.
'That is good for a start but more importantly it's going to give us enormous opportunities off the bench to change things around.'
With the expected heat in Brazil, Hodgson knows that England won't be alone in knowing that not everybody can play in all three group games, so there will be opportunities for others from the bench, and in games anyway as he shakes things up to keep people fresh and he certainly doesn't rule out making changes 'game to game' either.
'I believe with this squad that we have got that opportunity. We have got impact players on this occasion.'
He's certainly very confident with the 23 man group he has selected going off his words. Let's all hope they prove him right.

SYS-CON announced today that "Cloud Expo, Inc." has spun out of SYS-CON Events, Inc. as a startup events management company which produces and presents Cloud Expo (TM) events worldwide.
Cloud Expo, Inc. launched Cloud Expo (TM) events in 2007, and currently producing Cloud Expo East, Cloud Expo West, Cloud Expo Europe, Cloud Expo Tokyo, Cloud Expo Prague, Cloud Expo Hong Kong, and Cloud Expo Sao Paolo. All Cloud Expo marks and trademarks are registered trademarks of Cloud Expo, Inc. worldwide.
Carmen Gonzalez was named CEO of Cloud Expo, Inc. Carmen served as the co-founder, president, and chief operating officer of SYS-CON Media since 1994. In this capacity, Carmen was in charge of SYS-CON's sales and marketing functions. Under her leadership, the company was named by Inc 500 among the fastest-growing 500 privately held companies in North America three years in a row.
Cloud Expo, Inc. will continue producing and presenting "Cloud Expo," which was launched on February 24, 2007, by SYS-CON Events, Inc., the same day the term "cloud computing" was coined. That same year, the first Cloud Expo took place in New York City with 450 delegates.
In April 2010, Cloud Expo is returning to New York City's Jacob Javits Convention Center with more than 5,000 delegates and over 100 sponsors and exhibitors.
"Cloud Expo has become the leading global cloud computing event as Cloud has become synonymous with "computing" and "software" in three short years," said Fuat Kircaali, founder and chairman of Cloud Expo, Inc. "Cloud Expo is the new PC Expo, Comdex, and InternetWorld of our decade. By 2012, more than 50,000 delegates will participate annually in Cloud Expo New York, Silicon Valley, Prague, Tokyo, and Hong Kong shows."
"What we have done with Cloud Expo is, quite literally, to undergird the explosion of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS with a rock-solid fundament in the form of a broad-spectrum trade show that has a top-class technical program every time and an Expo Floor chock-full of booths representing every layer of the Cloud ecosystem, so that delegates can move easily between Breakout and General sessions to actually tire-kick solutions and ask specific questions about their business requirements and concerns," said Jeremy Geelan, Conference Chair of the Cloud Expo series.
"Most IT professionals recognize that moving from theory into practice is where things can get complicated, and this is where attending a top industry event like Cloud Expo comes in.," Geelan added. "Delegates leave each Cloud Expo with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately to leveraging the Cloud, helping them to maximize performance, minimize cost and improve the scalability of their own Enterprise IT endeavors."
A Rock Star Faculty, Top Keynotes, Sessions, and Top Delegates!
Cloud Expo New York will feature 200+ technical sessions from a rock star conference faculty and the leading Cloud industry players in the world.
All main layers of the Cloud ecosystem will be represented in the 5th International Cloud Expo - the infrastructure players, the platform providers, and those offering applications, and they'll all be here to speak, sponsor, exhibit and network this April in New York.
Over 200 corporate sponsors and 10,000 industry professionals became part of Cloud Expo since its inception, more than all other Cloud-related events put together worldwide.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Cloud Expo 2010 "show prospectus" for New York, Prague, Silicon Valley, Tokyo and Hong Kong events is now shipping. Sponsorship, exhibit, and keynote opportunities can be obtained from Carmen Gonzalez by email at events (at) sys-con.com, or by phone 201 802 3021.

Last Night Dr. Ben Carson announced he was running for the 2016 Republican nomination. This morning Carly Fiorina announced her run. In a period of twelve hours, the GOP gained a conspiracy theorist and the person who was responsible for a huge downfall with one of America's tech giants. Yup, this is the "brightest" of the Republicans.
Ummm, in a post 9/11 world, shouldn't things like this NOT happen in our Congress?
Yes, seriously. He has directed the national guard to monitor the U.S. military during their Jade Helm 15 training exercise, because all the Dale Gribbles of Red State USA think that Obama is going to have the U.S. military come in and declare martial law, then take all of their guns. Oh and then they think that if this would actually happen, and our military would follow such a crazy-ass, illegal order, that they can somehow fend off the military force of the United States. Hey Texas, if all that happens, then what? We'll drop you and there goes the billions in U.S. tax dollars you get to survive each year! Oh and have fun with your major league sports teams, when they are stuck in a league all their own - literally.
This Thursday the Democratic field will grow by one, with Senator Bernie Sanders announcing a run for President on the Democratic ticket. He is a long shot, especially in the primary, but he is the man I would love to see on our ticket.
What would have been one of the biggest telecom mergers in U.S. history is no more. Comcast has officially dropped their plans to purchase Time Warner Cable, following reports that the government was set to block the plan. Thie is a win for the free market, something the right doesn't seem that concerned with when it comes to the creation of huge monopolies.
Parma, Missouri now has their first ever African-American female Mayor. So how does the town celebrate this historical day? 80% of the towns police force decide to walk off the job. Aren't you glad John Roberts has declared racism over in our nation?
While Indiana is busy working on new ways to treat LGBT and others as second class citizens, a southeastern Indiana county has seen more than two dozen new HIV cases in an area already plagued by the problem. This brings the total cases to 130 now, All the cases have been tied to a growing rash of intravenous drug use.
After the anti-gay owners of Memories Pizza in Indiana raised close to a million dollars through crowd funding, a New Jersey deli owner hopes for the same. Jim Boggess, the owner of Jimbo's Deli in Flemington, New Jersey, was forced to close this week after loss of business from his stunt of declaring March "White History Month" in his store. Now Boggess has turned to GoFundMe in hopes that fellow haters will support his backwards thinking. It doesn't appear to be going that well though, as he has only raised $215 in four days.

Family trip - NBA game
It was ok,no bottled water in the hotel, good breakfast at the restaurant
Great decor & Great staff
I was very pleased with the decor of the lobby, restaurants, and rooms. The staff was courteous and helpful. I was disappointed that there was not complimentary WiFi on the site. The hotel is central to N.W. Washington, so getting around is convenient. It's located near George Washington University hospital though. ambulance sirens blared into the wee hours of the night. If getting a good night sleep were key to my stay, I would have been more upset. I always returned to a clean, tidy room. The food in the grill was mediocre, but the price was right. Not enough children's television stations for a family traveler. Nikelodeon has been nixed for DirecTV cinema...
Room ok
Ordinary room at good price. TV is set inside the closet which was awkward.
Great Location
Great location, close to Dupont cir and Georgetown. Nice clean rooms, got upgraded to a suite upon check in. Rates are very reasonable for the area. Staff was very nice and helpful. Would definitely return!
Great deal
Friendly, comfortable, nice location. A little noisy, but it was New Years Eve. Nice value.
Second stay much better than the first
I had a nice three-night stay at the St. Gregory this week. The room, priced at a highly competitive $145/night, was more like a suite. A very quiet room. The HVAC wasn't noisy, and the amenities fine. A big plus was the umbrella the desk staff had on hand, considering the rain each day. No fitness center that I noticed, but the streets and parks in the area are great for walking. On a previous stay at this hotel, housekeeping had somehow skipped my room one day despite the fact I never had a privacy sign out. And there was some sort of phone scammer calling for my credit card number pretending to be dialing from the front desk, which friends thought might be an inside job. But this trip I found to be without problems and would rank the hotel highly for value at this price.
Best quality for money
The hotel was located in a perfect location. The room was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Good Hotel in Downtown DC
The St. Gregory is a good and convenient choice for those who wish to stay in downtown DC. Within walking distance of most business-related destinations within the downtown northwest part of the city (K Street, Dupont Circle, George Washington University area, east of Rock Creek Parkway, etc.). Clean and comfortable. My stay was for business, but this could be a good choice, as well, for tourists.
