With a debt owed to Dadaism and maybe even the deadpan bliss of Buster Keaton, Andy Warhol shocked the art world with the introduction of his Factory-made screen prints. Using found or commercial imagery and allowing others to produce his prints, Warhol worked to subtract personality from his paintings and prints, crafting his own utterly original persona via that very lack. For Warhol, creating such art equated to a sincere dialogue with consumer culture. After all, if commercial art is hollow, to wear a lack of substance on your sleeve means you're finally being honest.

Classic Lip Gloss
This has a supremely smooth yet intensely moisturizing texture that isn't the least bit sticky or syrupy.
Creme to Powder Blush
If you're adept at the dab-and-blend application this type of blush requires, you will be thrilled by the colors.

Three Custom Color At-A-Glance
Strengths: The only company in this book that offers custom color matching for discontinued products; first-rate customer service; the Ready-to-Wear line features several outstanding products; very good makeup brushes; refillable compacts.
Weaknesses: Customization service is expensive; the cream blush goes on too sheer; eye and lip pencils still require routine sharpening.
The number "three" in this line's name refers to the three people who founded and continue to manage this unique line. Since 1997, Three Custom Color Specialists have excelled in what they dubbed a Custom Blending Service, of which their lipstick-matching prowess has earned them considerable recognition. Send them a color swatch or the last sliver of a favorite discontinued lipstick and they will duplicate it so accurately you will be stunned. And if you love the results as much as we suspect you will (particularly if a favorite lipstick shade is no longer available) you'll be impressed that Three Custom keeps everything they did to recreate the shade on file, so reordering is easy. What began as a lipstick color-matching service has expanded over the years to include several other makeup products. In addition to the custom Lipstick ($50 for two tubes), you may customize Creme to Powder Blush ($37.50; $20.50 for additional shades, which must be ordered at the same time as the original price shade), Eyeshadow Singles, Brow Powder, or Powder Eyeliner ($36.50; $19.50 for additional shades, which must be ordered at the same time as the original price shade), Creme Concealer ($36.50; $19.50 for additional shades, which must be ordered at the same time as the original price shade), and Face Powder ($47.50 for Loose; $28.50 for additional shades, which must be ordered at the same time as the original price shade; $36.50 for Pressed; $19.50 for additional shades, which must be ordered at the same time as the original price shade). With the exception of the lipsticks (where they can match any formula), the products above use Three Custom's base formulas and from there create a custom shade and finish per your instructions.
Although these customized options are pricey, the personalization for every product is beautifully executed, right down to the postage-paid envelope you receive to send in a remnant or piece of fabric that represents your ideal color. All of the custom items may be further modified with your choice of finish and level or type of shimmer. All told, Three Custom continues to offer a remarkable service that is made even better by their attention to detail and the enthusiasm of the Three Custom Color team of professionals. Furthermore, all custom colors are 100% guaranteed, and will be redone (at no additional charge) in the unlikely event that they don't get it just right the first time. In addition to their Custom Color menu, you can also choose from a range of several other makeup essentials, featuring 250 never-to-be-discontinued ready-to-wear colors.

Admitting to blowing five guys at once during a party at her house is easy for her because Emily doesn't have the kind of sexual inhibitions ordinary girls feel restricted by - the nastier the better for this scarlet slut! Watch the way she stays nice and low while she talks dirty and awaits a massive facial cumshot at the climax of this cumtastic porn video. Emily Eve is excited to prove she is worthy of being a 1000 Facials girl and the sticky results really do speak for themselves!

Welcome to our new site! We are currently renovating HealthyStuff, please excuse the dust as we rearrange the site!
HealthyStuff.org's mission is to research toxic chemicals found in everyday products. This site is based on research conducted by environmental health organizations and other researchers around the country. The Ecology Center created HealthyStuff.org and leads its research and development.
Concerned about a product hazard?
A number of US regulatory agencies are charged with addressing dangerous consumer products. In general, chemical hazards in consumer products are poorly regulated and outside a few examples (toys & some children's products) consumers are largely left unprotected. HealthyStuff still encourages consumers to report products related chemical hazards to the appropriate agency.

Top Definition
When a girl makes very noticeable changes to her appearance (ex. dying or cutting her hair, wearing particularly sexy clothes) before meeting up with her ex-boyfriend - who is usually the one who left her - a short period of time after the break up to "grab a coffee" or "get her stuff back". This is supposed to have the effect of a shock for the guy, who feels like he's already missed out on a lot and like she's doing great and moving on without him. The goal is to make him ultimately regret his decision.
We were supposed to go to a cafe today to "talk about it", but I bailed because I want Sarah to dye my hair before the next time he sees me, so that the Ex-Girlfriend Effect is be complete.

Oskar's Maze
Product Information
Object | Solve the six different sided maze |
Difficulty | Level 9 - Gruelling |
Brand | Puzzle Master |
Types | Oskar van Deventer, Other Wire / Metal Puzzles |
Dimensions | 2 1/2 in x 2 1/2 in x 2 1/2 in / 6.2 cm x 6.2 cm x 6.2 cm |
Product Description
First built in plastic, this metal version of Oskar's Maze is much more resistant and elegant. Comprised of six different mazes, the goal is to get the golden piece from the start to the finish positions. Like any other good 3D mazes, the solving process requires spatial and visual skills, since every move involves all six mazes at the same time. Invented by the prolific Dutch puzzle designer Oskar van Deventer, who created some of the best Hanayama Cast Puzzles. From our unique selection of PuzzleMaster Metal Puzzles.

No challenge to it, will agree that it is not a level 9 more like level 1 solved it in about 6 min poor puzzle to buy
A great idea and a tricky structure for a puzzle. The whole idea of a 3D maze was very creative. This puzzle may be recommended to any puzzle-solver who wishes to try.
Like "LAC", I solved this puzzle [?] almost immediately. I actually read the instructions to see if the simple solution I arrived at by inspection of the Maze could possibly be "it."
Level 9 HA!!!!!!!! Gimme a break this thing took all of about five minutes. Well actually about fifteen because the instructions do not explain the point of the thing. At least not the start and finish of it. After seeing the barely stamped start and finish markings the game was on and it was over before you even realized it. Two stars are pretty generous
Great idea for a puzzle, the problem is that the cross piece on mine tends to come apart. It is not well connected and tends to fall into three pieces. The idea of solving simultaneous mazes is clever, and this puzzle is not as easy as it may look.

A chalazion is a hard bump that forms on the eyelid.
A chalazion can form when the duct leading from a gland of the eyelid becomes blocked. This gland produces an oily substance that lubricates the margins of the eyelid and the front of the eye. When the duct becomes blocked, the oily substance can harden. This causes a chalazion to form near the edge of the eyelid. This condition can recur.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of a chalazion:
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Acne rosacea
- Inflammation of the eyelinds— blepharitis
The initial symptom is a small swelling on the eyelid. It may look like a stye. It may or may not be painful. After a few days, the swelling on the eyelid often begins to harden. The bump grows slowly into a hard lump.
A chalazion can cause complications, though not often. Complications may include:
- Localized infection at the site of the chalazion
- Visual problems due to the chalazion pushing against and distorting the shape of the eye
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. An eye exam will be done. Rarely, a sample of fluid from the chalazion is taken and tested in a lab.
A chalazion will often disappear on its own. Treatment may include:
Self Care
A warm compress is applied to the affected eyelid several times a day. Follow with gentle massage.
Corticosteroid is injected into the chalazion. This is done by an ophthalmologist, but is rarely required. Antibiotics may also be used if an infection develops.
An incision may be made near the chalazion to allow it to drain. The procedure is usually performed in the office with a local anesthetic. Surgery may be done if the chalazion does not respond to other treatments. It may also be considered if the chalazion is very large, grows rapidly, or causes vision problems.

Passion and politics frequently cloud reasonable dialogue about the best way to balance insuring that the Constitutional "right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" with the legislative intent behind laws aimed at curbing mass carnage with assault weapons.
Decades-long friends, Harold W. "Budd" Schroeder and G. Steven Pigeon, stand on opposite sides of the state's recently passed Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, but managed a more than an hour-long civil debate on the issue of gun control Thursday evening in Lackawanna.
Schroeder is chairman of the statewide Shooters' Committee on Political Education. Pigeon is a political consultant who formerly served as chairman of the Erie County Democratic Party and is supporter of the new state gun laws. The two squared off during the 2013 Judge and Police Conference's installation dinner.
In the end, both men agreed there was little chance they would convince the other to change their position.
"As a free American citizen, I don't want some politician telling me how to run my life if I'm not causing a problem to society, myself or anyone else," Schroeder said of what he called the "grand-standing" gun control measures being championed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and President Barack H. Obama.
"It's a slogan, not a solution," Schroeder said. "The law, as it's written, is not going to work. It's like spitting on the Constitution of the United States."
Pigeon, who frequently referred to the types of weapons being regulated under the new state law and proposed federal law as "killing machines," disagreed, arguing the Constitution, as a "living, breathing document," was "not meant to be looked at as a Bible verse."
"It was a different time," Pigeon said of the intent of the founding fathers when drafting the Second Amendment. It was a time when automatic assault weapons with large capacity magazines, and movie theaters, didn't exist. "There weren't people going into the one-room schoolhouse and shooting it up."
Pigeon said while he "believes in the right to bear arms," it doesn't mean "there aren't any limitations on that right."
Placing unconstitutional restrictions on that right, however, is what Cuomo has accomplished in New York, countered Schroeder, and what Obama is aiming for nationwide.
"It doesn't make any sense to me that a law has to be passed against the 99¾ percent of people because they can't control the one-quarter of one percent who don't follow the laws," said Schroeder.
He said the latest moves were analogous to Hitler's first steps at disarming the populous.
"Registration leads to confiscation. People said, 'that can't happen,' but it has already happened in California and New York City," Schroeder said.
"Not one person can amass the type of power Stalin and Hitler could amass because of the checks and balances built into our system," Pigeon said. "The system itself is designed to protect against tyranny."
Pigeon acknowledged law-abiding gun owners like Schroeder are affected by the actions of a few. But to allow unfettered access to semiautomatic assault weapons, he said, enables them to be used with deadly consequences, such as at the Newtown, Conn. elementary school.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg rings the Nasdaq opening bell Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., on the day of the company's May 18 IPO. / Zef Nikolla, AP file
SAN FRANCISCO -- Facebook's fourth-quarter profit today topped analysts' predictions but mobile results may have come up shy of some forecasts.
Facebook reported a 41% jump in revenue from a year ago's $1.1 billion, beating the 35% growth prediction from a survey of analysts from Thomson Reuters. The social media giant reported earnings of 17 cents per share, above the expected 15 cents, on revenue of $1.59 billion. Analysts were expecting $1.53 billion in revenue.
Wall Street had forecast mobile to make up as much as 24% share of Facebook's overall revenue in the fourth quarter, a figure that came in at 23%.
Facebook shares were down 4% to $29.99 in after-hours trading following the report.
The results serve as a bellwether of progress for social advertising, online games and mobile.
Facebook's full-year revenue remains dwarfed by Google's, which last year topped $40 billion.
The social network held the No. 1 spot in U.S. mobile display advertising revenue in 2012, taking 18.4% of the market, according to eMarketer.
Mobile advertising is poised to boom. The smaller ad forms saw sizzling growth of 180% to $4 billion in 2012, and are forecast to hit $7.2 billion in 2013, according to eMarketer.
Facebook has been slow to move on mobile until recent quarters. The company reported it saw 680 million monthly active unique viewers on mobile in the quarter, a 57% jump from a year ago.
Shares of Facebook have surged 40% in the past three months on optimism for its prospects, but the stock has remained below its IPO price of $38.

The following data were extracted from the Amtsblatt der königlichen Regierung zu Danzig, No. 29-33, published in 1817 (Library of Congress call number JS7.G3 D3), which contain lists of surnames adopted by Jewish citizens found in Danzig when it was reoccupied by Prussia in 1814, following Napoleon's defeat. All information contained in the original is presented below. Each entry is described by the following fields: Number, the corresponding line number in the original publication (except 586a,b, which appear together as 586, but are separated here); Old Name, the name (usually including patronymic) of the person prior to adopting a surname; New Surname, the surname adopted; Marital Status for some of the women on the list; Husband's Old Name for some of the previously married women on the list; Notes about the entries, not part of the original, except for "New name X," which indicates that, in addition to acquiring a new surname, the rest of the person's name changed (at least, as printed in this publication). Surnames have been capitalized for ease of recognition, but are not capitalized in the original.

Car bomb kills at least 53 in Syrian capital
Friday - 2/22/2013, 2:08am EST
Associated Press
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- A car bomb exploded Thursday near Syria's ruling party headquarters in Damascus, killing at least 53 people and scattering mangled bodies among the blazing wreckage in one of the bloodiest days in the capital since the uprising began almost two years ago.
Elsewhere in the city, two other bombs struck intelligence offices, killing 22, and mortar rounds hit the army's central command, activists said.
Recent rebel advances in the Damascus suburbs, combined with the bombings and three straight days of mortar attacks, mark the most sustained challenge of the civil war for control of the seat of President Bashar Assad's power.
Syrian state media said the car bombing near the Baath Party headquarters and the Russian Embassy was a suicide attack that killed 53 civilians and wounded more than 200, with children among the casualties. Anti-regime activists put the death toll at 61, which would make it the deadliest Damascus bombing of the revolt.
The violence has shattered the sense of normalcy that the Syrian regime has desperately tried to maintain in Damascus, a city that has largely been insulated from the bloodshed and destruction that has left other urban centers in ruins.
The rebels launched an offensive on Damascus in July following a stunning bombing on a high-level government crisis meeting that killed four top regime officials, including Assad's brother-in-law and the defense minister. Following that attack, rebel groups that had established footholds in the suburbs pushed in, battling government forces for more than a week before being routed and swept out.
Since then, government warplanes have pounded opposition strongholds on the outskirts, and rebels have managed only small incursions on the city's southern and eastern sides.
But the recent bombings and mortar attacks suggest that instead of trying a major assault, rebel fighters are resorting to guerrilla tactics to loosen Assad's grip on the heavily fortified capital.
The fighting in Damascus also follows a string of tactical victories in recent weeks for the rebels - capturing the nation's largest hydroelectric dam and overtaking airbases in the northeast - that have contributed to the sense that the opposition may be gaining some momentum.
But Damascus is the ultimate prize in the civil war, and many view the battle for the ancient city as the most probable endgame of a conflict that according to U.N. estimates has killed nearly 70,000 people.
To defend the capital, Assad is using his most reliable and loyal troops, activists say, including the Republican Guard and the feared 4th Division, commanded by his brother, Maher. Armed checkpoints have sprung up across the city as part of the regime's efforts to keep the rebels at bay.
Thursday's car bomb hit a checkpoint on a bustling thoroughfare in the central Mazraa neighborhood between the Baath Party headquarters and the Russian Embassy. The force of the explosion shattered the balconies of apartment blocks along the tree-lined street and blew out the windows and doors of the party building.
Video of the blast site on Syrian state TV showed firefighters dousing a flaming car with hoses, while lifeless and dismembered bodies were tossed onto the grass of a nearby park. The state news agency, SANA, published photos showing a large crater in the middle of the rubble-strewn street and charred cars with blackened bodies inside.
"It was huge. Everything in the shop turned upside down," one local resident said. He said three of his employees were injured by flying glass that killed a young girl who was walking by when the blast hit.
"I pulled her inside the shop, but she was almost gone. We couldn't save her. She was hit in the stomach and head," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution for talking to foreign media.
Ambulances rushed to the scene of the blast, which sent a huge cloud of black smoke billowing into the sky.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but suspicion will likely fall upon one of the most extreme of Syria's myriad rebel factions, Jabhat al-Nusra.
The group, which the U.S. has designated to be a terrorist organization, has claimed past bombings on regime targets, including the double suicide blast outside an intelligence building in May that killed 55.
Such tactics have galvanized Assad's supporters and made many other Syrians distrustful of the rebel movement as a whole, most of whose fighters do not use such tactics.
The main opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, condemned Thursday's bombing without accusing a specific group of carrying it out. It did, however, suggest that the regime allowed foreign terrorist groups to operate in Syria.

Well I am not a programmer, but I have done some compiling work myself at the past...
I used to believe that a better compiler suite just ''creates'' the executable program faster and with less problems let's say, I was not aware that it could help the executable also run faster or generally speaking better! That's something I discovered today from the article about EKOPath 4 and this thread...
My questions now are:
- How will the linux community take advantage of this new hightech opensource compiler suite?
- Is this the end of our old friend GNU GCC, or it can also take advantage from EKOPath?
-What's Linus opinion about this and how can EKOPath actively speed up the Kernel or trace long standing bugs (like the power drainer one we discuss lately) via the relative debugger I was reading previously?
-Will we see immediate usage of EKOPath, or will we have to wait for the developers to agree first, debate, disagree, fork projects, shoot each other and all these nice damn slow stuff?
-Lastly can we trust Pathscale or will it end up like Sun and the <<beloved>> Oracle with openoffice?
Just my first thoughts about the subject...

Jim Riggleman goes from a big-league manager to a Class AA skipper.
DALLAS — Though Jim Riggleman's midseason resignation from the Nationals over a contract dispute severely damaged his reputation, the former manager does have his share of supporters around the game.
So while Riggleman's chances of managing in the big leagues again are slim, he will get an opportunity to manage again in 2012. In the minors.
The Reds have hired Riggleman as skipper of the Class AA Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a source close to the 59-year-old confirmed this evening.
The gig obviously represents a significant demotion for someone with 1,486 games of major-league managing experience, but it's still aRead more »

New team new stadium on the water beach town. There are worse gigs we are pretty excited About the team moving here. I'm excited about Riggs coming, pretty cool addition. Wahoo!

I always thought that Riggs was a strong teacher. He always seemed to be the guy brought in to pick up the pieces of someone else's mess. I wish him well.

There are a hundred old veteran minor league guys coaching in the minors. Still riding the buses in hope of getting a shot at the "The Show." They would give their right arm for the shot that Riggleman got. And he threw it all down the tubes in a paranoid temper tantrum.

Gotta love that career path. June 2011: 11/12 wins, the Nats on a roll, putting himself for a managing job in 2012 (if not DC somewhere).Dec 2011 (6 months later): AA coach in Pensacola. Ouch.

Riggleman's quitting was some paranoid temper tantrum? Uhhmm, no. He walked away from money and a hard to come by job over principle. Riggleman was right to quit, in my mind, and it was his right, an objective right, to quit. The only temper tantrums are from folks who have a problem with it, Rizzo included. And post Riggleman's "career suicide" as Zuck called it he's now been hired by 2 clubs in less than a year so he's likely not feeling as if his reputation is shattered.dfh21
- jd - Dec 5, 2011 at 2:21 PM
dfh21, Oh yeah, that's a great career situation to be in at 59 years of age starting again at AA. I agree that was a brilliant move by Riggleman.

AA managers are important in an organization's development process–these are their best prospects. He may or may not be back in the majors someday, but if he is to do so, this will be a good place to stay relevant until the right opening comes along.
- Anonymous - Dec 5, 2011 at 2:37 PM
jd — It is not a question of whether you or anyone else thinks Riggleman made a bad career move. Riggleman knew he was walking away from a managerial gig and he knew it would be hard to get another one (he went 9 years between managing gigs before), he thought the siutation not tolerable so he quit. He had a right to quit. It's his life. You or I may not have made the call he made, but so what.dfh21
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 5, 2011 at 2:38 PM
In fact, how about a pool on where he *does* manage in the majors again, if he does? Early favorites might be Miama after Ozzie blows up, or the Mets, just because they are the Mets.

- Anonymous - Dec 5, 2011 at 2:44 PM
I am thinking he'ss be a bench coach in 2013, say in SF maybe, or the Mets, likely an NL club. And when the manager he's workign with gets axed, Riggleman is back at the helm. Look at history, Francona, Torre, McNamarra, LaRussa, Leyland . . . guys who have doen get chancers to do it again. His odds are as good as anyone's to land a manager job going forward. The Nats looked like cheap idiots for not picking up his option after they extended Rizzo for 5 years and left Riggleman hanging, they could have picked up the option and still fired the guy in the off-season and owed him a whopping $600K for his trouble but they were not ready to make than kind of commitment to a manager winning games with their lousy club. Fools.

I will not quit when I am, shockingly, seemingly ahead in NI. This is about the point where I start typing really stupid stuff. Have a great day all.Go Nats!dfh21
- Steve M. - Dec 5, 2011 at 2:53 PM
The Marlins were actually true to their word on expanding payroll and getting a frontline player in Reyes. I am very surprised. If it helps them sell a few dozen luxury suites then the strategy will pay-off. If they can't figure out a way to increase their revenues substantially, it could kill them down the road.Now the interesting part will be how Hanley Ramirez is handled. Does Hanley move to 3rd base or to another team?I am hearing the Nats have some interest in Michael Cuddyer. He certainly isn't a CF but could play RF. I hope the Nats pounce on Buehrle sooner than later to get the first big move done.
- Knoxville Nat - Dec 5, 2011 at 3:49 PM
No inside knowledge but the bottom line in my opinion is Riggleman was never Rizzo's guy. Manny Acta was the one who brought Jim to DC at a time when Bowden, who was still the GM, wanted to bring in Willie Randolph. Rizzo was an assistant to Bowden until that whole Dominican thing blew up in Jimbo's face and Rizzo got the interim tag on his title. When the Nats decided to fire Acta in July 2009 Riggs was the logical guy on the staff to replace him and Rizzo "rewarded" him, after kicking a few tires for another manager, with a series of what amounts to one year contracts, i.e., little job security in a business that most everyone involved in is seeking. When Rizzo brought DJ in as an "advisor" for spring training I think Jim saw the handwriting on the wall…"you're not really my guy so get off to a slow start and we will replace you." When the Nats got to the start they did Rizzo could not make a move to Johnson nor did he have a reason to do so. At the same time Riggleman says "hey lets talk about my contract", Rizzo says no and Jim says "..know what, if I'm not your guy for next year or 2013 I'm not your guy for right now. Take this job and shove it." Career suicide maybe, but I respect Jim Riggleman for sticking up for his principles.
- Golfersal - Dec 5, 2011 at 6:37 PM
I tell you, this is the biggest mystery of baseball. It's like making a choice, either you get a million dollars or you become cluster nun? In most cases that's an easy decision but Riggelman wants to make things tough on himself. Hope he enjoys the lifestyle of class AA baseball, just another case of someone that tries to shot himself and instead of dying just cripples himself.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 5, 2011 at 7:53 PM
What's a cluster nun?
- natsfan1a - Dec 5, 2011 at 8:22 PM
Yeah, I was wondering about that, too.
- Anonymous - Dec 7, 2011 at 7:14 AM
no matter how much the NATS screwed him over, which i think they def did… he deserves every minute of what he's getting… as a manager you dont quit on your players period… if you do, you're not fit to be a manager.

How to install a water butt
Not only is rainwater free but it's better for plants than tap water as it contains more nutrients. Also, unlike hard mains water, rainwater won't leave limescale deposits or increase the alkalinity of the soil.
The best way to collect it is in a water butt connected to a downpipe. If you put it on a stand, you'll be able to fill a watering can straight from its tap. If you have a big garden, you can connect two butts to a single downpipe by using a flexible hose link kit. Water butts do more than provide water for your plants, some can even be attached to pressure washers.

CARSON, Calif. -- No LA Galaxy player is more familiar with CONCACAF Champions League opponent C.S. Herediano than Marcelo Sarvas.
The Galaxy's Brazilian midfielder was one of the centerpieces of L.D. Alajuelense sides that won the 2010-2011 Verano and 2011-2012 Invierno titles in the Costa Rican Primera division. Along the way, Liga tussled repeatedly with Herediano, but the most decisive clash came as both teams battled for the Invierno title. In the decisive second leg, Sarvas scored (watch the video below at the :10 mark) as Liga advanced past Herediano in a penalty kick shootout -- Sarvas scored there as well -- to win their second title in three seasons.
Ahead of a vital first leg, Sarvas expects Herediano to to attack from the opening whistle.
"I'm pretty sure that they will press us from the first minute," said Sarvas. "They will come very aggressive against us because it's the way that they make things happen there in Costa Rica. It's nothing with organization with possession. You go aggressive, you play hard and play tough. It's the way that they make things happen."
LA will not only face an aggressive opponent, but they'll also deal with the close quarters at the Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero, which seats 15,000 people and boasts a FieldTurf surface that Sarvas says is "between Portland and Seattle" in terms of quality.
But what reaction does Sarvas expect when he walks onto the field on Thursday?
"It'll be very hostile," said Sarvas. "[The goal came in a] final game so it is something memorable so I don't expect anything nice for me."
CARSON, Calif. -- At Sunday's LA Galaxy regular season opener against the Chicago Fire, MLS commissioner Don Garber was on hand to pass out LA's MLS Cup championship rings.
After the ceremony, Garber conducted several interviews with the media including an interview with Time Warner Cable SportsNet and a halftime chat with print media.
The main topic of conversation during interview that was the state of the Galaxy's in-stadium rival Chivas USA, but reporters also touched on LA's season opener being broadcast nationally on Univision, Landon Donovan and other topics.
Garber's comments are below...
(On Chivas USA's poor attendance on opening weekend…)
GARBER: "When we launched Chivas USA, the idea was to have a team to be different and to cater to the Mexican American population in Southern California. It hasn't really been able to deliver on that vision since 2005. We went through ownership mediation -- Jorge Vergara and Angelica [Fuentes] took it over and they got a plan. It's the first game of a long season. We're certainly hopeful that it will improve. This is a market that needs, in my opinion, two teams and two different teams. We're hopeful that they'll be able to deliver on that."
(On whether or not there is concern that Chivas could become a farm team for C.D. Guadalajara...)
GARBER: "Not in any way. Remember where we were, we were hoping to get more Chivas de Guadalajara players in here from the beginning and we weren't able to do that for whatever reason. Now we've been able to do that and the players have been here for a couple weeks now. What I would encourage everybody to have is a bit of patience. They have an idea, they have a plan and we're hopeful that plan will be successfully executed. I think they need to do better in the execution. I think they need to put some real good resources on the administrative side and get really focused. The league has been assisting them and we have one of our club services guys working with them on the ticketing side to help understand the best practices that are going on with our other clubs. We're both hopeful that it will get better and we'll work hard to make sure that it does."
(On what difference between Chivas USA's plan in 2013 and in 2005...)
GARBER: "I think that they're executing on it and they didn't execute in 2005. We had [Francisco] Palencia, Claudio [Suarez] and a handful of players [from Guadalajara], but it didn't really get executed and they never really committed to it. [Former owners] Antonio and his brother [Lorenzo Cue] were the managing owners of the club and I am very close to them and they believed that there was more of an opportunity to have a more general market MLS team. There was not much of an identity difference between that team and any other MLS club. Jorge and Angelica believes that there is an opportunity to make a difference and they bought the team and they're going to deliver on that plan. What I would encourage everyone to do is, give them a shot, give them some time. The league is going to be very focused with them and we have made great process in this league in so many different areas and we're going to ensure that they're successful as well."
(On how patient the league can be with them...)
GARBER: "Listen, it's the first game. How patient? More than the first game...we're going to be focused to try to work with them and give them some resources internally to help them get better. We're going to spend more time with them to help them understand that operating a team with a difference is good, but they still need to understand that this is a traditional American sports market and they need to sell tickets, you need television deals and relationships, you need to have active sponsors who are going to promote and market your brand. You look at what the Galaxy have been able to do and it's a good model. They have to execute better."
(On whether Chivas is limiting themselves by marketing simply to Spanish speakers…)
GARBER: "I think they have the right and there is an opportunity for them to have a different brand position. It's not just Spanish speakers per say, but more targeted to a Hispanic audience. Having different brands and a different identity is a good thing because you don't want all your teams to look and feel alike. What I would say is, let's give them some time. If we're here in June or July and we're having the same issues that we're talking about right now, this might be a different conversation."
(On the Galaxy being shown on Univision nationally as opposed to an English language network...)
GARBER: "We have a great partner in Univision. They're as important to us as any of our other broadcast partners in terms of what they pay for those rights and the market that they can reach. This is the first time that we've really gone out and given them a great game to try and support that relationship. We're excited about that…There are 50 million people in this country that are watching Univision and connecting with the sport in the Spanish language and I'm not even remotely apologetic about that. It's a big part of the league's strategy."
(On whether he was concerned with Chivas USA not having a local television partner…)
GARBER: "Concerned is probably not the right word. They need to get on local television. By the way, it's a requirement so they have to work hard to get a deal done and they haven't been able to that yet. But they're going to need to get that done; it's a requirement for them."
(On whether the league was consulted about Landon Donovan's leave of absence from the Galaxy…)
GARBER: "Consulted is probably not the right word. It's more that we were communicated with. I spent some time with Landon and I think I talked about that during my State of the League [address] last week. I'm very sympathetic for what Landon is going through. That guy has had the responsibility of this sport on his shoulders for a longtime. He's been an unbelievable ambassador for [MLS], for our national team, for every kid that loves the game. If he needed to take a breather, that's his right. He's not getting paid during that time period, but I feel for what he's going through and I'm really excited for when he comes back."
(On whether there are minimum standards that MLS sets for its franchises in terms of attendance and investment…)
GARBER: "It's less about minimum standards. It's not a specific amount of money. Every market is different and every ownership group has different resources. AEG can spread it all around [with] 28,000 employees where Vergara doesn't have that opportunity. But what we do, do is we work with all our clubs and understand what they're spending, understand what resources they're applying. And try to help them figure out decisions that they're making are good decisions or whether not they should be different. The league is engaged in that process. I've seen across the twittersphere that the league should come in and do something [with Chivas USA]. Well, these are teams that are owned by individual investors, they're governed by the league and what we can do is help them get better and try to work with them to understand the different challenges that they face. Listen, this is not the first team in Major League Soccer's 18 years that we've had challenges with. They turn around. We had this conversation in Kansas City a number of years ago and [Sporting Kansas City] is one of the banner franchises in our league and I would hold it up to almost any professional soccer team in the world. There was time where we've had similar discussions like this so we'll get this right."
The LA Galaxy's back-to-back MLS Cup win was selected as the No. 2 Sports Moment of 2012 at the 8th Annual LA Sports Awards on Sunday.
The Galaxy's MLS Cup win was second only to the Los Angeles Kings' first-ever Stanley Cup victory over the New Jersey Devils in June. AEG President and CEO Tim Leiweke was also presented with the 2012 Sports Executive of the Year award.
The LA Sports Awards are presented annually by the Los Angeles Sports Council, which celebrates the greatest sports moments of the year in the Los Angeles and Orange County area.
Prime Ticket will televise the awards show on Sunday, March 10 at 9:30 p.m. PST.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy may have started their MLS regular season campaign with a bang and a 4-0 victory over the Chicago Fire on Sunday, but by Monday morning, they needed to shift their focus to Thursday's CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal first leg against CS Herediano in Costa Rica on Thursday.
The CCL provides no shortage of challenges: whether it is hostile crowds, poorly maintained fields or inconsistent officiating, but over the past two years, the Galaxy have attempted to alleviate the effects of one challenge—lengthy international travel—by traveling on a chartered flight.
LA travel to Costa Rica on Tuesday, but rather than board a commercial flight for the five hour and a half hour journey, LA will travel via charter to San Jose, Costa Rica. The conditions are far different than traveling on a commercial flight -- think no screaming babies in aisle seats -- but is traveling charter really a difference for the players than a cross-country trip in MLS?
"It cuts off two and a half hours of the travel if not more, just waiting around for petty little things to get done," said Galaxy midfielder Michael Stephens. "It's not bad, it's definitely better than a cross-country flight to New York on a commercial flight. It shouldn't be too bad; they take good care of us."
Does that mean that they'll be more rested once they touch down in Central America?
"As rested as you can be for being on a five and a half hour flight," Stephens admitted. "It's a big difference than if we were flying commercial. I think we're lucky…the way the [team] takes care of us is very good."
The first LA Galaxy game of the season is complete and now it's time for the first edition of "Ask the Insider" of 2013.
Unlike last year, those looking to participate can do so on the comments section below rather than on the Galaxy Facebook page.
The winning recepient will have their question answered later this week and will win two tickets to see the Galaxy take on Herediano in the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal Second Leg on Wednesday, March 13.
Feel free to leave your questions below.
CARSON, Calif. – Carlo Cudicini admits that his MLS debut wasn't perfect, but the veteran goalkeeper was pleased to earn a clean sheet in his first match for the Galaxy.
Cudicini wasn't particularly busy during the 4-0 rout, but he did made his lone save of the afternoon count as he parried a free kick chance by Maicon Santos over the bar in the 60th minute. The day was not without it's difficulties as in the 31st minute, he saw a pass to Leonardo intercepted by Chicago's Chris Rolfe. The Fire forward burst alone on goal, but saw his shot float just wide of Cudicini net.
That moment aside, the former English Premier League 'keeper thought he performed well in his American debut.
"It's always good to keep a clean sheet or a shutout like you say [in America]. It's good for confidence," said Cudicini. "I could have dealt better with a couple of back passes, but at the end of the day, I didn't have to do much which was good. That means that the team defended well. So hopefully, we'll have another good performance on Thursday."
The veteran 'keeper saw little action on Sunday, but he admitted that he was impressed with his teammates defending as they held the Fire scoreless.
"It's easy to say when you don't concede goals that it is the back four or the goalie," said Cudicini. "But at the end of the day, it's the team that defends and we defended very well."
Mike Magee was voted MLS Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters for his hat trick in the LA Galaxy's 4-0 victory over the Chicago Fire.
Magee scored in the 38th, 68th, and 78th minutes to notch his first career hat-trick to lead LA over Chicago. The performance was just Magee's second multi-goal regular season game of his career with his first coming on Sept. 17 2011 against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
The honor is the second of Magee's career, with the first coming when he backstopped LA to a scoreless draw against the San Jose Earthquakes on June 25, 2011.
Starting June 1, The Home Depot Center will be no more--welcome to StubHub Center.
StubHub, one of the nation's largest ticketing companies, has entered into an agreement with AEG to serve as the naming rights sponsor for the 125-acre multi-sport facility in Carson, California. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"As leaders in the ticketing industry, providing the highest levels of customer satisfaction and as an increasingly popular consumer brand, this partnership is groundbreaking for our company. We look forward to the relationship with millions of fans at StubHub Center," said Danielle Maged, Global Head of Partnerships and Business Development at StubHub in a statement. "At StubHub, we have an unyielding focus on the fan experience and with our partners at AEG, we intend for StubHub Center to be the embodiment of that focus as we work to create one of the most fan friendly stadiums in the world."
The Home Depot has served as the facilities naming rights sponsor since the 27,000 seat stadium since it opened in 2003. The Home Depot Center name will be used for a final time for the LA Galaxy's match against Seattle Sounders FC on May 26.
Starting in early-June, the home of the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA will undergo it's transformation before it is officially re-launched as Stub Hub Center for the Galaxy's June 16 match against the Portland Timbers.
"We welcome this new and exciting partnership with StubHub, an organization that, like us, emphasizes the highest level of customer services and fan experiences," said Katie Pandolfo, General Manager of the AEG Facilities in a press release. "We look forward to working with StubHub to design new programs and activation elements that will provide an even higher level of fan engagement and experience."

Mike Magee scored three goals before Robbie Keane added one of his own as the LA Galaxy defeated the Chicago Fire 4-0 in Sunday's MLS regular season opener.
LAGalaxy.com caught up with the strike force and provided video of their post game interviews below. As you're listening to Magee's interview, be sure to listen to how Magee's teammates attempt to interrupt his concentration during the interview.
LA Galaxy Homegrown forward Jose Villarreal started and went a full 120 minutes, but the U.S. U-20's fell 3-1 to Mexico in the final of the CONCACAF U-20 Championship.
Mexico's Jesus Corona and U.S.' Benji Joya traded goals in the first ten minutes of the match, but in extra time, Mexico pulled away. Julio Gomez scored the winner off a bicycle kick off a corner in the 99th minute before Jorge Espericueta nodded home the third and final goal off a penalty kick in the 113th minute after Shane O'Neill was sent off for a foul in the box. Villarreal wasn't the player with Galaxy affiliations to play as Galaxy Academy product Javan Torre started in central defense while former Academy starlet Mario Rodriguez started up top.
Following the match, Villarreal was named to the tournament's Best XI along with his U.S. teammates Wil Trapp and Luis Gil. The Galaxy Homegrown's weren't the only players with local ties as Southern California-native -- and FC Dallas Homegrown player -- Richard Sanchez was awarded the golden gloves of the tournament for backstopping Mexico to the title.
The draw for the U-20 World Cup takes place on March 25 in Istanbul, Turkey.

Gallery: Green-Roofed University Building in Japan Serves Double Duty
The green roof provides insulation to the building and filters and infiltrates stormwater.
Bakoko's design for Kyoai Gukuen University aims to eliminate the loss of important recreational space on the university campus by lifting the green space up and creating a building below to support it. Adjacent to the site is a sports field, which has no spectator seating, so the green roof is slanted towards the playing field to provide a viewing area. This double-duty proposal adds extra value to the building, provides spectator seating, and retains the site's open green space.
The university building is consists of a series of vaulted concrete arches, some of which feature openings that capture sunlight and wind using a specialized cap. These "wind catcher" caps filter sunlight down into the space below and draw in fresh cool air. The columns of the arches seem thick, but in fact they are hollow at the top in order to minimize material use and provide a deeper well for the green roof. These water-tight depressions have enough soil to support larger species of trees and vegetation than are typically possible on green roofs.
