Five Years Later
NH tornado victim's legacy is many cherished memories
At the same time, here on the East Coast, her two aunts plan to toss hydrangeas into Northwood Lake and offer a toast to a woman who loved to laugh and knew how to make others feel loved.
Stevens was the only fatality from the sudden storm, which cut a 50-mile swath of destruction across the state that summer afternoon, the longest tornado path in New England recorded history.
View Towns hit by the July 24, 2008, tornado in a larger map
Stevens, who was 57, had two daughters from a previous marriage, Kalil and Lisa Semprini of Maine, two sisters and countless friends. She worked for the city of Portsmouth for many years as an administrative assistant, ran a bingo hall and owned a small shop.
Her mother's neighbor, best friend and some of her cousins had all been trying to reach her. "I knew that it was my mom, and I just had a feeling, from the franticness, that something had happened to her," Kalil said. "I just knew in my heart that that's what it was."
There was not enough room in Portsmouth's North Congregational Church to hold all the mourners at her mom's funeral, Kalil said. "She had such an impact."
"When I grew up, there was literally never a night she didn't rub my back until I fell asleep. I never remember once getting home and her not being there. We had dinner together every single night."
In their teenage years, their mom became the confidante not only for her own two girls but also for their friends, Kalil said. "She was the one they went to about all the girl stuff."
The three girls had grown up in Skowhegan, Maine, and were always "extremely close," Densmore said. They all ended up in New Hampshire as adults.
Those are "priceless" memories now, captured in photographs that still make her laugh, Densmore said. "We can remember every moment, every laugh."
And that's how she and her sister, Laurie Dunne, will remember Brenda on Wednesday, as they have every anniversary of the tragedy: Sharing a cocktail and a laugh in her honor.
She was 10 years younger than Brenda, but the three were as close as sisters coud be, she said. "We were the Three Stooges. We enjoyed each other's company immensely."
Losing her sister the way she did still seems "surreal," Dunne said. She is convinced that Stevens' final actions spared the baby she was rocking in a chair beside the fireplace. "I believe she definitely saved his life by holding on so tight that day," she said.
"I didn't try to hide my pain. You can't walk around some things; you have to walk through them."Still, the timeworn cliche is true, Kalil said: "Time truly does heal."
And she remembers her mom with a flower on her birthday, Mother's Day and the anniversary of her death, a tradition she started that first, painful year. "Putting a flower in the ocean, it was like putting a little bit of love and pain out there, and letting go of it ..."
She's not really sure about the heaven part. But she said, "I do feel like to some degree when you lose people, they're sort of in the things around you."
"I was so blessed to have her as a sister and to have her part of my life as long as I did," Dunne said. "She knew a lot of people; she touched a lot of lives.

Pirates, Brewers put rookies on hill in opener
Bucs to begin home series with Cole on mound; Hellweg to make debut
Gerrit Cole has been efficient and composed in his first three starts, keeping things simple by locating his fastball and not trying to do a whole lot else.
He has given the Pirates what they have asked: He has walked just one batter, attacked the strike zone and won all three games he has pitched. But with the impending returns of A.J. Burnett and Wandy Rodriguez in the next few weeks, there is speculation Cole may be sent down, because he is the only player in the rotation with a Minor League option besides Jeff Locke, who has a 2.06 ERA and has not lost since April 7.
"I try to stay detached from all that, but it's not easy," Cole said. "It's not nice hearing about that kind of stuff. So, as much as I can, I try to stay detached."
Cole, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 Draft and the club's top prospect, will take the mound at home Friday against the Brewers, who will also send a rookie to the mound.
Johnny Hellweg, a 6-foot-9 righty, will make his Major League debut, getting the ball after Alfredo Figaro went on the disabled list. Hellweg was 7-4 with a 2.82 ERA for Triple-A Nashville, and the 24-year-old is the club's No. 3 prospect, according to MLB.com.
"The looks we got in Spring Training was he works quick," said manager Ron Roenicke. "Good stuff with the curveball and the fastball down in the zone, good movement on the fastball. He's got velocity on it. But he was throwing strikes in Spring Training. I know looking at his numbers and following him through the year this year, walked a lot of people early, and then settled down and is really throwing the ball well."
Hellweg learned of his promotion after the team returned to Nashville from a four-game series in New Orleans. His coaches told him the news in front of the whole team.
"I guess that was a feeling I've never had," Hellweg said. "It was kind of surreal. I guess the closest I've ever been to floating."
Pirates: Bats slowed by Felix, but not stopped
The Pirates had at least 10 hits in six straight games entering Wednesday, but Felix Hernandez did not let that bother him. He allowed two runs and six hits over seven innings and fanned 11.
The Pirates' offense, which had scored 30 runs over its last four games, was slowed, but did enough to beat the Mariners, 4-2, with two runs in the ninth. Entering Wednesday, the Pirates were tied for 19th in baseball in runs scored, when they had been in the bottom third of the National League in that category for most of May.
Brewers: Rotation depth is concern as Estrada suffers setback
Hellweg got the call-up because the Brewers' rotation has been so damaged this season.
Marco Estrada, whom Milwaukee hoped would be back soon, had his rehab frozen and will throw bullpen sessions until his hamstring is 100 percent. He has been on the disabled list since June 5 with tightness in his hamstring and he felt it tighten in the third inning of his rehab start with Class A Wisconsin on Sunday.
Roenicke is hoping some of the young, untested starters, such as Hellweg and Donovan Hand, can fill the void.
"We've got a lot of guys that are kind of in the same boat and trying to figure out where everybody belongs," Roenicke said. "Hopefully somebody pitches so well that we can't take them out of the rotation. That's what I'm hoping."
• Roenicke said Thursday that the goal is for outfielder Carlos Gomez to return to the starting lineup on Friday. Gomez strained his left shoulder Sunday and hit in the batting cage Thursday, a day after he took dry swings.
Worth noting
• The Pirates are 8-0 this season after scheduled off-days.
• Pittsburgh is 6-4 against the Brewers this season, with three of those losses in Milwaukee, where the Bucs are 9-24 since 2010.
• Starting Friday, 12 of the Pirates' next 15 games are at home, while the Brewers begin a seven-game road trip.

Another View -- Larry Jones: After these 'common sense' gun restrictions, then what?
Then a madman will kill 20 or 30 defenseless students in a "gun-free zone" school using multiple semi-automatic handguns (like the killer at Virginia Tech) and multiple "low-capacity" magazines, changing them in 1.5 seconds or less. So if they're successful at getting the aforementioned bans, won't the next "common sense" law be to ban and confiscate all semi-automatic handguns and low-capacity magazines?
Then, will not a madman enter another "gun-free zone" school and kill 18 or 30 defenseless kids with three or more six-shooter revolvers by drawing a loaded revolver when one empties or using speed loaders? So should they be successful at enacting the previous bans, wouldn't the next "common-sense" law be to ban and confiscate all six-shooter revolvers and speed loaders?
If this were a perfect world and the politicians successfully banned and confiscated all the above-mentioned guns (an estimated 200-300 million) and prevent the smuggling of others across our notoriously porous borders, could not another madman take a car and steamroll it through a playground in another "gun-free zone" school, killing 20 or more defenseless kids while the teachers, helpless to stop him, watched in horror?
The mass murderers never choose a gun store, gun show, gun range, NRA convention or a police station. When will the demagoguing politicians and their delusional supporters abandon their murderous insistence that our kids be defenseless? When will they demand the real common-sense measure of having armed teachers or administrators, guards, police officers or volunteers in our schools?
Larry Jones lives in Peterborough.

this movie could be a nice one for kids, kinda like Flintstones: the next generation lmao
Dreamworks has released another new TV Spot from their animated film The Croods. The film will take us on the world's very first road trip to an uncharted and fantastical world.
Plot Concept: Surviving in a volcanic world is tough enough, but caveman Grug (Nicolas Cage) gets a rude awakening when an earthquake forces him to leave behind the only world he knows. With his family in tow, he ventures out into the volatile world in search of a new home. The situation becomes even more complicated when Grug's family - but in particular his eldest daughter - become smitten with a nomad (Ryan Reynolds) they encounter on their dangerous journey. This quirky, imaginative stranger's search for 'tomorrow' is at odds with Grug's reliance on the traditions of yesterday. Keener plays the mother of the Crood clan while Stone will voice Eep, their daughter. The family's new life only becomes more challenging when they meet a nomad, Gy (Ryan Reynolds), who introduces them to the concept of "tomorrow" and draws the romantic interest of Eep (Emma Stone).
The Croods will hit theaters March 30, 2012.

This is the enjoyable background story behind the immortal Fischer-Spassky chess match of 1972, the one that held the world spellbound and caused chess to become fashionable. No chess knowledge is necessary to appreciate this book. It not only sheds light on the chess world but on the relationship between the USSR and the US, a relationship that is no doubt being forgotten by the post-USSR generation. The most revealing moments in the book are the descriptions of the behind-the-scene struggles of the Soviets as it became clear that Spassky was losing the match. Much of the story is familiar to chess afficionados, but this retelling adds a bit of depth. It not only discusses Fischer's life and demise, but that of Spassky and many others in the chess world, from Steinitz to Paul Morphy to Tal, Petrosian, Smyslov, and even current #1 Garry Kasparov. This is a must-listen for chessplayers. Recommended further reading: "The Pathetic Endgame of Bobby Fischer", which I think is still available on the Atlantic Monthly web site. The only drawbacks of the book are its popular and somewhat superficial approach and the indications that its narrator and/or author are not particularly outstanding chess players. Fischer's incredible 6-0 victories over Mark Taimanov and Bent Larsen are also discussed, along with various paranoid theories about how he achieved his victories, when it is clear that he was always a formidable talent and thus didn't need skullduggery to shake the chess world.
"Godot is here"
This is a very creditible performance of a must-listen play, with the humor and tragedy and what I can only call the surealistic realism of Beckett at his best.
"Poorly Narrated"
The narrator is no Judy Kaye. I am going to make my way thru the alphabet series on Audible as I already have in print, so this is my starting point, though I have already listened to other books in the series. This book is instructive because it shows how subtle things can trash a reading. Much of the dialog is very wooden and doesn't flow the way a real conversation does. This is very distracting and makes it difficult to focus on the plot. I love Grafton, which is really the only thing that keeps me going.
This seems like an amazing classic to me. Although it has a cloak of sci-fi or horror, I think that it is actually about our lives, which do have their horrible sides -- we are all on the way to dying, after all, and we are the caretakers of each other. But this gives such a crystal clear vision of an alternate reality that it is difficult to realize that we are simply looking at our own world with a few details altered. The reader is immaculate, the sound quality is great, the language is impeccable. This makes a very interesting contrast with other books by the same author, such as Remains of the Day and the Unconsolable. Ishiguro must be one of the greatest living authors. I would not want this reading to be one syllable shorter.
Each of the New Yorker Audible issues so far has been an incredible treasure. Many of us have subscribed to the New Yorker over the years, only to leave piles of them unread. This is a way to enjoy each week's New Yorker in a more consistent way. This is the way New Yorkers were meant to be enjoyed. Subscribe to the New Yorker for the cartoons, and for some of the articles that haven't been recorded, but don't miss the New Yorkers in this medium, superlatively read, quirky, thought-provoking. This is a don't miss experience.
"Pedestrian, with a few bold ideas"
I just completed my second listening to the unabridged audio book. It has interesting theories and facts about the origins and development of Christianity, coupled with a very pedestrian plot. I thought the reader did a good job. I thought the writing was ok, but not spectacular. I think that what accounts for the book's success is that it strikes a blow against the prevailing theology in a convincing way. That isn't to say that its arguments are all fact based, but it demonstrates that there's more than one way to look at them. Hooray on that score.
"Nauseating, boring, hilarious, and magnificent"
If you haven't read, heard, or seen Waiting for Godot, do so now. Then return to this additional masterpiece by Samuel Beckett. This is the stripped-down, minimalist story of one man, aged and deteriorating and bitter, but frank beyond what many people would find acceptable -- certainly this is not someone you would want to hang out with. No one can truly follow in the footsteps of Beckett in creating this kind of character and spare yet eloquent prose. There are two narrators of this book, and the first one, who is the voice of Molloy, is the best to render Molloy's music. Molloy is the first book in a trilogy, and the second has just been realeased on Audible format. I finally figured out the (perhaps obvious) significance of the three titles. In the first the main character's name is Molloy, though he sometimes forgets it. In the second the main character is named Malone, which seems to me to be basically the name of the same character, though his name has evolved. And the third, The Unnameable, is the last evolution, where the name has evolved into dust. I think that some people will just hate this book, but if it reaches you, it will reach to your core.
"Pretty Good"
A good refresher course on the JFK assassination. I found the great many details on the situation in Cuba before Nov 22, 1963 overmany and I liked the appendices the best; there I found Jack Ruby a more sympathetic character than I expected. The author's basic thesis is that Oswald was paid by Fidel Castro to kill JFK because the Kennedys were trying to kill Fidel Castro. I don't think he proved the case, and I think that Gerald Posner's Case Closed is still the best book on the subject. However, the author marshalls the material well and explains the state of knowlege at this time. The reader does a good job, but the book is a long, tough slog. If I had fractional stars I would have given three and a half.
"It's a Wonderful Book"
This great book gives insight into India and to life itself like other greats such as Passage to India. I followed it up by reading the text and realized that listening to the book was almost as good, except for the many unfamiliar Indian words and phrases that were easier to follow in print. It would be nice if Audible in the future posted online supplementary pages that would help explain some things that are inevitably obscure in a reading -- in this case, a glossary of Indian words and expression would have been helpful. Certainly I will never think of Indira Gandhi and her State of Emergency in the same way after reading about the impact her effort at "beautification" had on the poor of India. Of course, I don't know how accurate this depiction is...
"Many Sensible Ideas"
Most self-help books seem to be simply pep talks, full of sound and positivity and signifying nothing. This one is full of sense, with 100 topics focusing on helping someone who is unemployed or newly employed or soon to be out of work or searching for a better job. The excellent reading is sometimes jarring, because the topics are not always clearly differentiated, so that sometimes "you" are referred to as a manager and at other times "you" may be looking for your first job. In the book itself, these sections were probably clearly marked off separate paragraphs, but they tend to blend together here, despite the fact that they are numbered. Nonetheless, this is a valuable quick listen for anyone concerned with their job -- and that is just about everyone. It has imbued me with a calmer perspective on my personal job search, and turned out to be a much better book than I expected.

cropped cardigan
As some of the reviewers have mentioned, this cardigan is shorter than how it appears on the picture. I got size XS in navy, and love how it fits! It stretches and I really didn't expect it to fit so well. I am close to 5'7 and wear size 4 top. Will be purchasing the red one as it looks so cute!
June 13, 2013
Serendipitous Find!
I ordered the cardigan in red, and I love it. It was shorter than I expected, but it ended up being okay in the end it reminded me of a cute cropped cardigan and outfit in "Valentine's Day". Now, I'm out to find a high waisted skirt to go with it! I'm just a little disappointed that I won't be able to wear the cardigan as much (it's not very casual).
June 10, 2013
Runs small
This cardigan is cute, but be adivsed that it is more of a cropped cardigan than full length (as it appears on the model). I still kept it though because it was different and cute. I love the navy blue and black together.

Crop Cardigan
The length of the cardigan in the photo is deceiving. It actually ends at your rib cage. Further, because the photographs don't show a side silhouette, you can't see the fact that it's designed to have a bit of a relaxed pooch at the back. It's nice Limited quality cardigan, but it seems to be specific to pairing with a dress, as opposed to wearing on top of jeans or pants.
March 24, 2013
Runs Small
I originally ordered this cardigan in a size S but it honestly looked like a little girl's size & was very cropped. I, however, did not want to give up on it simply because I wanted to pair it with a pair of TL floral capris and finding a blue/black color is a rare find. I normally wear size S in TL sweaters, so I took a chance and reordered size L. It fit perfectly on me. I do not like for my cropped cardigans to fit too tight, so this solved my problem. It is also a lightweight cardigan, so I look forward to wearing it in spring.
March 22, 2013
Love the fit!
I ordered the ST Valentine Cardigan in three colors: blue, black and purple. The hemline finishes at the waist which makes this cardigan a perfect match to wear with a skirt or a belted dress. In addition to ribbed hem and cuffs the knitting has some subtle details. The waist looks fine when buttoned. The purple is very bright, the black is chic and the blue is classic. Although I received them only a week ago, I already wore each of them once or twice. They work both with casual clothes (such as high-waist jeans) or dressy outfits (think little black dress/pencil skirt). Since it is made of cotton this isn't a very warm cardigan but it's been keeping me warm enough inside well heated interiors. I think they will work in spring and summer as well. Best of all, I received compliments on them and I was asked a couple of times where I bought them. I usually get this kind of compliments/questions about a nice dress or jacket, not cardigans!

I was really excited to try this cardigan on because I'm really short and most cardigans are way to long on me. I loved the cropped length, but the rest of the fit was just a little off. The ribbing at the waist is a little too tight so when you wear it unbuttoned it pulls open all the way to the side of my body at the sweep and isn't very attractive. I tried buttoning it but then the top button pulled in an unattractive way (and I am small chested so things rarely pull at my chest). Maybe if you size up for a looser fit it would be better.

Beware...super short length
I ordered this in purple and thought it was going to be love...but unfortunately not. The trim is more of a mustard color and not the yellow gold shown. The real deal breaker was the super short length. It almost feels like a shrug or a topper more than a cardi. The hem is well above my belly button. It's more of a cropped top than a short cardigan. I just can't keep it. I wanted more of a true cardigan length. Otherwise, true to size.

Tales from the pit
the first time I saw slayer, was too excited because I had never seen before and was anciosa that the day of the concert came but a little nervous. had to travel to london to see and buy my ticket well in advance, so I wanted to make the time pass quickly for it to arrive the day. I only asked a question: why on Sunday?, and the truth a concert on Sunday is not good without alcohol (haha: P). but hey the band played very well, never forget that day and would like to see them again .... & (I would have liked to see Jeff Hanneman)
Comments for this Tales from the pit
Slayer will always be a great
Slayer will always be a great band and always give the best concerts in any day ....
SLAYER on a Sunday.
Well, Bodom_Girl I agree with you in alot of ways...Sundays usually are'nt the best day of the week for a fuckin' concert.But, after all, this was no regular concert, was it ? Nope..it was a fuckin' SLAYER concert and that more than anything else(available alcohol etc)makes up for the Sunday thing,in my opinion.SLAYER played my city with EXODUS and ROB ZOMBIE and the fuckin'roof blew off the building! Hell ya' Jeff was missed big time...but he'll be back before SLAYER thunder out our way again.So rember the awesome you had and rest assured, Jeff will be there next time you see SLAYER live.By the way...SLAYER played my city on a Sunday,too.Wear your SLAYER t shirt with fuckin' pride...pride in being a fuckin' fan of the heaviest fuckin' band on Sunday or any day...SLAYER!
Sounds like you still had a good time and sorry you missed Jeff, I got lucky and he was able to play on at least two songs at Indio during his recovery. But thats life and hopefully he will fully recover soon and you will get to see another show with him playing...
Either way Slayer, Saturday concerts and alcohol rule : )

Vets Halladay, Rodriguez square off in Philly
The rumors of Roy Halladay's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
The same can be said for Pittsburgh's Wandy Rodriguez.
On Wednesday, the veteran pitchers will square off against each other in the third game of the series, and they'll have another chance to put any doubts about their abilities to rest.
Rodriguez, 34, has been terrific this season, allowing only five hits in 16 innings while posting an 11-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The left-hander allowed one hit in seven shutout innings against the Braves in his last start. He struck out five hitters on his way to his second victory of the season.
"It was like throwing darts, man," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said about Rodriguez. "As sharp as you ever want to see a guy -- from Pitch 1 to the 82nd pitch he threw."
Rodriguez has a 7.11 ERA in four appearances at Citizens Bank Park.
As for Halladay, he allowed two hits, two runs, two walks and struck out six in seven innings on Friday against St. Louis. The right-hander appears to have found his groove after a rough start to the season, posting a 1.80 ERA (three earned runs in 15 innings) in his last two starts.
"There were some times when I got away from it just trying to do too much," Halladay, 35, said. "I think when I stay within myself and execute the mechanics the way it should be done, I feel good."
Halladay allowed only two hits in eight innings in his lone start against the Pirates last season. Overall, he is 4-1 with a 0.98 ERA with 38 strikeouts and five walks in six starts against Pittsburgh in his career.
Pirates: Inge returns
The club recalled infielder Brandon Inge (injured right scapula) from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis and reinstated him from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday. The Pirates optioned outfielder Alex Presley to Triple-A to make room for him on the roster.
Inge finished 1-for-4 with an RBI Tuesday.
Phillies: Ruiz making his way back
Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz, who was suspended for the first 25 games of the 2013 season for violating MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, began his rehab assignment with Class A Clearwater. Ruiz is eligible to return to the Phillies on April 28 against the Mets.
Worth noting
• The Pirates are 10-0 when leading after seven innings this season.
• Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez has homered three times in his last four starts. Since the beginning of last season, the Pirates have gone 20-9 when Alvarez hits a home run.
• Pirates catcher Russell Martin is riding an eight-game hitting streak, his longest since hitting safely in nine straight games from June 29 to July 9, 2010.
• The Phillies' Michael Young is riding a 14-game hitting streak and is hitting .362 during that stretch. The veteran infielder has hitting streaks of at least 12 games in each of the last 10 seasons.
• The Phillies have three home runs from pinch-hitters this season. Since 2007, the club leads the Major Leagues with 47 pinch-hit home runs.
• Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon is 55-for-55 in save opportunities for his career in the month of April.

Overview: Cloud adoption is an evolutionary process that has been leading to hybrid clouds-specifically, open hybrid clouds that provide for portability of applications and data. This new model means avoiding new points of proprietary lock-in and new silos, and breaking from proprietary software and hardware. It demands that organizations make a smooth transition from one model to another, while valuing both types of workloads equally.

Two-days after the election, a well-known actress is being thrust into the political spotlight in Kentucky.
U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, a Democrat, has suggested that Ashley Judd should challenge Republican Mitch McConnell.
The Senate minority leader is up for re-election in 2014.
"I think she's exploring the possibility. I don't, this is not a frivolous thing. I think she is definitely interested in seeking public office. She has a great interest in public policy, so I have encouraged her to do that," Yarmuth said.
Judd has said in the past that she might one day seek public office, but has not discussed the possibility of running against McConnell.
"She's doing her due diligence, researching, talking to people and again she's very much interested in running for an office whether it's U.S. senator from Kentucky or governor of Tennessee. I'm not sure, but I know she's seriously exploring it," Yarmuth said.
Judd lives in Tennessee and is not registered to vote in Kentucky, but she could move back and qualify to run.

In the Fire's Reserves first foray into the MLS/USL Pro partnership, the team dropped a 2-1 decision away to the Charlotte Eagles at Queens Sports Complex Friday night.
Led by Fire assistant coach Leo Percovich, the team started eight first team players and three from the club's Development Academy sides, two of which (Jake Taylor and James Myall) slotted in as center backs.
The Fire Reserves took the lead just before halftime. In a play quite similar to Patrick Nyarko's winner in Thursday's Open Cup match vs. Columbus, Michael Videira's cross from the right found Quincy Amarikwa at the back post where he headed past Eric Reed to make it 1-0 in the 42nd minute.
Charlotte responded with a number of chances in the second half outshooting the Fire Reserves 12-0, forcing Paolo Tornaghi into eight second half saves. . They would find their two goals in the span of five minutes as Christian Ramirez equalized in the 70th before Ben Newnam found the winner in the 75th.
Two more Fire Academy products Jeff Farina and Hayden Cochrane made cameo second half appearances, meaning the maximum five Academy players were used in the game. The Fire Reserves fall to 1-4 on the 2013 campaign and will welcome the Eagles to Toyota Park on Saturday, June 29 at 7:30pm (Live webcast on Chicago-Fire.com).

According to the TrueCar Player Registry, Amos Magee played only eight competitives games, three goals and 225 minutes as an A-League "call-up" player for the Men in Red in 2001 and 2002.
In fact, as of now, he has a better strike rate than man of the hour and namesake Mike Magee (three goals in 267 minutes).
Despite his short time with the Fire, the revered lower-league striker wrote a legend of his own in Chicago with one very memorable extra time goal in the 2001 U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal victory over the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at Wheaton College.
In the first of our Fire "Unsung Heroes" series, we speak to Amos "Chesty" Magee about the cult following he earned from his short time with the Fire.
A smattering of the changes the Fire made in coming back from 2-0 down for the draw Saturday night [clears throat]: Chris Rolfe moved from up top to out left, Patrick Nyarko moved from out right to up top, Dilly Duka moved from the left to the right, Maicon Santos came in for Rolfe and moved up top, Nyarko moved out left, Sherjill MacDonald came on for Duka and went out left, Nyarko moved out right (completing his left-right-center trifecta), Daniel Paladini came on for Jeff Larentowitz.
And that's just the visible changes. Because what was just as apparent were the invisible changes: the change of mindset, the change of momentum, the change of attitude. Something changed in the Fire, something transformed from dejection into something like triumph - all of which you can see on Mike Magee's face after Paladini's equalizer, right about here:
"Tonight I about lost my mind, I'll admit it," Magee said after the match, referring to his spats with the ref and others that earned him the respect of every Fire fan watching (and a yellow card). "I was just yelling, showing emotion and trying to light a fire under whoever was looking."
But look also in the moments just before the game-tying freekick:
Forget the tired legs, forget the frustration of being down. Look at Jalil Anibaba, Nyarko, Alex, and Paladini all working together, throwing themselves around, eventually overcoming the Timber players on the far side and feeding Magee. Nothing represents Saturday's comeback as well as that image of Alex anticipating the ball squeezing up the line, hustling back from the Portland box, and sliding in, while at the same time Paladini, tracking the play, anticipates the result, hurries over to help Alex, saves the ball after his tackle from going out, and plays Anibaba, who plays Nyarko, who plays Magee.
The crowd goes wild.
For the third game in a row, Klopas' second half gambit worked. The game changed. It changed physically, in terms of where players were and what numbers on the scoreboard said, but it also changed intangibly, mentally, emotionally. It's becoming a pattern: most of the Fire's goals this season (6 of 11) have come late in the 82nd minute or later.
Part of that is preparation, is team togetherness, the kind of stuff coaches like to talk about. Klopas told reporters he talked over readiness with his subs: "'Listen, just be prepared to go in right from the start. Or when you get called on in the second half, your ability now to come in and influence the game, you have to be ready.'"
Or like Paladini said after the game: "It's one of those things where you have to be ready when your name's called upon – you either shy away from it or you step-up to the plate."
The good news for Paladini and the other subs is that with the team in the midst of a stretch of 11 games in 49 days, they'll definitely be getting more time to influence other games. As Logan Pause gets fit again, too, Klopas is going to have some interesting decisions to make in June.
After finally getting close to something resembling a consistent line-up, will Pause take his spot back from Alex? And what about the way the subs keep affecting games? Does Paladini deserve to start again? Can we keep expecting Klopas' late game changes to make the difference?
Select shots from the Fire's draw with the Portland Timbers
Much like the shirt exchange post-match, the scarf exchange between supporters of opposing clubs is held as a sacred tradition.
Seeing as almost all of the live soccer I take in these days comes from a press box view, the scarf exchange is one thing I haven't had the opportunity to carry out of late.
Take a trip back a few weeks ago when I set off for Philadelphia to cover the Fire's match against the Union. Sitting near (but not in) the desired exit row on my Southwest Airlines flight, I was diligently working on an article for the next day when I looked up to see one of the flight attendants wearing an apron decked out in Timbers Army patches.
I meandered through how Alaska Airlines might feel about this whole situation before asking the Southwest attendant how much of a Timbers fan he was.
Jason or "A-B" as he's know in the Southwest world was quick to tell me he was a member of Timbers Army and went to as many matches as his work schedule would allow.
I then went ahead and told him what I did for a living working with the Chicago Fire at which point he got out his phone (on airplane mode of course) and showed me a number of photos from the two side's previous encounter last May in Portland.
Speaking of the Section 8 Chicago/Timbers Army friendly alliance, he even took some photos with Fire supporters, many of which are friends of mine.
He then had to go back to his duties, serving drinks to the many passengers behind me.
Remembering that I always travel with a Fire scarf, I dug through my carry-on bag and pulled out the very famous Tetris scarf produced last season by Section 8 and as he passed through the cabin again, I stopped and gave it to him, to his great surprise.
He walked to the back of the plane and soon enough, returned with his own Timbers Army scarf, complete with many of the same patches that adorned his apron. I was completely surprised by this gesture as you could see that this scarf had been worn through many a match and held great importance.
I asked him if he was really alright with parting with such an important piece of his Timbers memories and he didn't even think twice.
And thus, soccer diplomacy occurred once again. Those Timbers Army folk (of which there will be 175 at Toyota Park Saturday night), aren't so bad.
After an excellent 60 minutes in his first match of 2013 for the US U20's against DRC last week, Fire homegrown player Victor Pineda went the entire 80 minutes in the U.S. team's last match of the Toulon Tournament on Wednesday, succumbing to 1-0 loss to South Korea.
The loss meant the US went 1-3-0 in the tournament and did not advance to the final or third place games. Pineda's performances in the last two matches however were enough to convince coach Tab Ramos to select him for the final squad for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey later this month.
Here is a breakdown of Victor's performance Thursday against South Korea:
In the first half, Pineda started on the left hand side of the front three in a 4-3-3 formation. In the last game against DRC, he started on the right before moving to the left after 30 minutes.
As I mentioned in the last recap, Victor is not afraid to move inside and he did so on eight minutes picking up a ball all the way on the right hand side of the box before being fouled just on the edge of the area.
On 11 minutes, Victor displayed more of his foot skills, back heeling a ball off a South Korean defender to win a throw in.
Throughout the first half, the U.S. team passed the ball very poorly and Victor was unable to get much of a look in.
On 31 minutes however he did manage to pick up the ball wide, cut inside and shoot low into the corner, only for the keeper to make a routine save.
On 35 minutes, Pineda switched over to the left hand side but the half ended with no more significant action about 5 minutes later.
In the second half, the US team came out a lot stronger and Pineda was heavily involved in a number of chances.
On 46 minutes, he was found in the box but his left footed attempt to curl the ball into the top corner ended up going wide.
On 48 minutes he started and almost finished the US side's best move of the match.
Victor got the ball on the right wing from a throw before passing the ball inside and making his way into the box. After the ball was sent wide, a cross came in finding Victor with a free header which he snapped downward, only for the keeper to somehow prevent it from crossing the line.
A minute later Victor again found himself with the ball in the box, chesting it down before volleying towards goal only for a defender to deflect it wide.
He again moved to the left hand side after the 50th minute and after this began switching sides constantly. He cut inside and took a shot with his left in the 61st before doing a 1-2 in the middle in the 72nd minute and shooting off target.
Though his final pass or shot was not clinical in either of the games, Victor played well, had a lot of touches and made an impact despite these matches being his only minutes of 2013 for the U-20's.
His ability to control the ball, especially in tight spaces particularly stood out. That being said, I believe the major reason Tab Ramos picked Pineda in the final squad for the U-20 World Cup is his ability to play a number of positions, be it wide left, wide right or through the middle.
In a tournament, you need players who are able to fill in a in a number of positions and Victor's versatility could be extremely useful for the U.S. team in Turkey.
Check back on Chicago-Fire.com as Victor and the U20 team start their World Cup campaign in Turkey on Friday, June 21 when the they take on Spain.
After a week of very positive results on the field, the Fire team will be full of confidence as they welcome the Portland Timbers to Toyota Park on Saturday night (LIVE 7pm CT on My50/La Ley 107.9FM) .
Portland are not short of confidence themselves, riding into town on an 11 game unbeaten streak. Both teams are missing players due to international duty. Here are some tactical things to keep an eye on...
The 4-4-2 diamond formation option #1 – keep the diamond for the Portland game
In the Fire's most recent MLS game against D.C. United, the team tweaked the formation and started with a 4-4-2 with a diamond in midfield. Jeff Larentowicz played just in front of the back four while Alex got the start at the point of the diamond.
Against D.C., this tactic worked very well as Alex was given license to stay forward and almost act as a third forward at times while helping Mike Magee and Chris Rolfe put pressure on the United back four.
Frank Klopas echoed this in a recent interview, stating "He's had two good games, he brings that ability onto the field – when he gets the ball he can make good passes and connect plays together, another guy that supports the forwards."
Like Magee and Rolfe, Alex is just as good without the ball at his feet, constantly making runs wide and connecting with Patrick Nyarko and Joel Lindpere on the wings. Though the Fire didn't have as much possession as D.C., Alex was involved in a number of counter attacks which caught United off guard.
Every fan wants to see attacking soccer from their team, especially at home, and starting Alex at the top of the diamond would certainly signal that the Fire don't intend to sit back and allow Portland to come at them, but rather the opposite.
The 4-4-2 diamond formation option #2 – revert to two more defensive minded players in the middle
Even without starting striker Ryan Johnson (gone for international duty), Portland boasts one of the most potent attacks in MLS. To date, the team has scored 22 goals, only 12 away from what they put up the entirety of last season.
Frenchman Frédéric Piquionne will start as the lone striker in place of Johnson but it is the support behind him that the Fire must be wary of. With players like Diego Valeri (who I will talk about more later) Darlington Nagbe and Will Johnson, the team from the Rose City have a wealth of attacking options.
Because Portland plays with a 5 man midfield, a lone holding midfielder might not be enough for the Fire on Saturday night. Jeff Larentowicz did a fantastic job of stifling the D.C. attack last weekend but against a team not afraid to push men forward, a two-man combination of Pause/Paladini/Larentowicz makes more sense tactically.
Two holding midfielders would also put less pressure on wingers Patrick Nyarko and Dilly Duka to drop back and help out defensively. Coach Klopas also called for the team to dominate more in possession against the Timbers and playing the two central midfielders close to one another would suit this strategy.
What will be interesting is which option the Fire start the game with, knowing that the team can revert to either option simply by making a substitution and either bringing Alex on the field or off.
Stopping Diego Valeri – taking a physical approach
Over the past two seasons teams have used a number of strategies to stop Fire playmakers such as Patrick Nyarko, Chris Rolfe and Sebastian Grazzini. One tactic that is used very often is to be physical (and in some cases overly physical) in an attempt to keep the player from making an impact. One way to try and contain Timbers creative midfielder Diego Valeri is to take this very approach.
Back in 2011, Paladini employed this tactic against RSL's Kyle Beckerman and after 11 minutes, Beckerman snapped, head-butting Paladini and getting sent off with the Fire ending the game as 3-0 winners.
There is certainly a fine line between kicking lumps out of a player and just being physical with him. Thankfully, the Men in Red are blessed with veteran players such as Pause and Larentowicz and players like Paladini who are well versed in the "dark arts."
Because Valeri is so mobile, another option would be to man-mark him but that essentially eliminates one of the Fire players' ability to contribute to the attack. The physical approach is certainly a more practical tactic than the man marking one and if the Fire can contain Valeri and prevent him from pulling the strings in midfield, it will be very detrimental to a Portland team who rely heavily on his creativity.
Prediction: The Fire will continue to turn the corner and hand the Timbers their first defeat in 11 games. 1-0 Fire with a goal from Chris Rolfe.

Wilson to return to AT&T Park when LA visits SF
Former Giants closer now member of bullpen for rival Dodgers
The Dodgers' final road series of the regular season will be a homecoming for reliever Brian Wilson, who will return to San Francisco for the first time since signing with rival Los Angeles.
The Dodgers visit AT&T Park on Tuesday to open a three-game series against the Giants, which could provide plenty of opportunities for Wilson to pitch in front of the legions of fans who supported him during the seven seasons he spent with San Francisco from 2006-12.
Wilson recorded the final out of the 2010 World Series, but had Tommy John surgery last April for the second time in his career and was non-tendered by the Giants in the offseason. He signed with the Dodgers as a free agent at the end of July and has become an important part of their bullpen since his L.A. debut on Aug. 22, allowing one run in 11 1/3 innings and stranding 10 of 11 inherited baserunners.
While Wilson was a fan favorite during his time with the Giants, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly expects the right-hander to receive a mixed reaction in this series.
"I'm sure with any personality that goes to a rival, it's not going to be a warm and fuzzy reaction," Mattingly said. "I don't understand that, though. They could have signed him. They let him go. It's not like he decided to leave. It'll probably be half and half. A lot of people appreciated what he was able to accomplish, and there will be a mix of traitor talk."
Wilson faced his former teammates last week at Dodger Stadium for the first time since signing with the Dodgers. He made two appearances during a four-game series, earning the win with a scoreless inning in the series opener and retiring the only two batters he faced in the series finale.
"It was fun," said Giants catcher Buster Posey. "You look forward to challenges against good pitchers, and he's one of them. Once the at-bat started, it felt like a normal at-bat."
Dodgers: Ryu seeks to end skid
Hyun-Jin Ryu will be looking for his first win of the month when he takes the mound on Tuesday. The rookie has lost four of his last five starts and is 0-2 in September after missing time with a stiff back.
Ryu has faced the Giants four times, and is 1-2 with a 2.81 ERA. In two outings at AT&T Park, the left-hander is 1-1 with a 4.62 ERA.
• Andre Ethier, who had been out since Sept. 13 with a turned left ankle, pinch-hit in Sunday's 1-0 win in San Diego and Mattingly said he could return to the starting lineup on Tuesday night.
Giants: Cain strong in second half
Matt Cain will start against the Dodgers for the fifth time this season on Tuesday. He's been solid since the All-Star break, posting a 2.34 ERA in 10 starts and going 3-3. Cain had a 5.06 ERA in the first half of the year.
Cain faced the Dodgers last Thursday and fired seven innings of one-run ball in a no-decision. The right-hander struck out five and walked one. He's 1-1 with a 3.97 ERA against the Dodgers this season.
• The Giants have scored just five runs in their last 40 innings and have scored two runs or fewer in four straight games.
Worth noting
• Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez is 20-for-67 (.299) in his career against Cain, with four doubles, four home runs and 13 RBIs.

basically a new project of Blink 182. hated by people who discriminate against other bands who are only trying to fulfill their dream and have a good time. personally, i think theyre a very good band - and anyone who has a problem with them should just step back and think why theyre taking the piss out of Boxcar / Blink for writing about being different - because at least theyre doing something that they enjoy rather than moaning about people trying to fit in and are "preps" and "posers". in my opinion, Boxcar Racer are a very good band. :)
fuck you all blink rule! hehe.

Note that everyone who misspells the name of this band as "Boxcar Racer" instead of its true name "Box Car Racer" obviously only knows little about the band and therefore is not qualified to make comments, opinions, nor accusations against it.
"Boxcar Racer" doesn't exist.

Cellulite treatments abound; however, some of them are very complicated and cost a lot of money. Yet you can also take a nutritional approach, or use various herbal remedies as well. If you are really determined to conquer your cellulite once and for all, apply several of the treatment options together. In this report, we will give you an overview of some of the natural treatments you can use on your cellulite problem.
You can find a variety of skin care products that claim to be effective against cellulite. Many of the products work extremely well, yet they contain harsh chemicals that you do not want on your skin. These chemicals are extremely bad for your skin, and some people need to use natural alternatives instead.
Finding an all natural solution like this, in the form of a cream or lotion, it's possible to do, but definitely hard to accomplish. Natural food stores may carry such items, and you can also find them online. You can find ones with aloe vera, and beneficial oils like almond and avocado that really works well. Natural creams are considered to be the best cellulite cream as they can be just as effective as the ones that contain harsher ingredients, so it's worth looking into this option. Make sure you drink enough water to help your skin be healthier. It will also help in reducing cellulite. Though cellulite is caused by the retention of fluid under the skin, your cellulite problem won't worsen if you drink more water. However, that is just the opposite, as water retained beneath your skin is reduced when you drink enough water. Skin looks healthier when you drink lots of water, as water is effective in getting rid of toxins from the body. Drinking water, especially right before a meal, will help you feel full and keep you from overeating. This can be helpful if you need to lose weight, which can also help eliminate cellulite, so water can be a beneficial ally in your war against cellulite.
A spice that should be included in your daily diet because of its restorative properties is cayenne pepper. It has been proven that cayenne is healthful for keeping your heart in good shape. Cellulite can be controlled and eliminated with this spice. Cayenne has the power to give your circulation a boost and will help detoxify the body of harmful toxins. This is good for your whole body, and can help you remove cellulite. This supplement can be added to food or used as an external aid also. There are products available on the market containing cayenne in a topical ointment, or you could opt to make your own personal concoction. You may think that this would be hard to come by because of the way it takes care of cellulite, but it is available in many stores. Give the natural remedies we've mentioned in this article a try if you would like to reduce or eliminate cellulite. Cellulite is the kind of problem that responds best to a multi-pronged approach. For instance, you can get rid of cellulite by following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and using natural skin care products. With this approach, you're attacking the problem from inside and outside.

After viewing the 2004 documentary Supersize Me, which included less than appetizing results, science teacher John Cisna of Iowa put together his own amateur documentary looking at the fast-food giant. The results he and his team of students compiled point to a much different conclusion.
"I can eat any food at McDonald's (that) I want as long as I'm smart for the rest of the day with what I balance it out with," Cisna said.
Ninety days of Mickey D's for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but with strict daily nutritional limitations of 2,000 calories and trying to stay close to the recommended dietary allowances for nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fat calories, cholesterol.
Cisna's students used McDonald's online nutritional information to construct daily meals for their teacher, making sure to follow the nutritional limitations he had set. Cisna said a typical breakfast would be two egg white delights, a bowl of their maple oatmeal and a 1 percent milk. A salad for lunch would be followed by more traditional value meal at dinner.
"So this isn't something where you say 'well he went to McDonalds and he only had the salads. No, I had the Big Macs, the quarter pounders with cheese. I had sundaes, I had ice cream cones," he said.
During the experiment, he also started walking 45 minutes a day. By the 90th day, Cisna reports he lost 37 pounds and his cholesterol dropped from 249 to 170.
The moral of this lesson isn't to eat more at McDonald's, Cisna said, but to pay attention to your daily nutrition and what you eat.
"The point behind this documentary is, 'Hey, it's (a) choice. We all have choices. It's our choices that make us fat not McDonald's," he said.
Cisna said he isn't surprised at the weight loss because he wasn't exercising or watching his calories before but he is surprised at the large improvement in his blood now that he's capping his nutrients at the recommended daily levels.
For instance, he said his low-density lipoprotein, or bad cholesterol, dropped from 173 to 113 during the 90-day experiment.

Are you still optimistic? .. I am trying to stay upbeat, but as more and more time passes, it is increasingly difficult to retain that sense of hope ... How do you feel deep down in your heart? Still thinking it will happen, or starting to wear down and wonder if it is just a fantasy notion that will never come to be? .... How do you handle the possibility that there might not be anyone just for you in this whole wide world?
I would advise you or anyone who is suffering to try to take joy in the smallest things. That is a good place to start. Feeling grateful in those small things is a start toward many areas where we can build something. It is a mental/emotional/spiritual exercise that I have to do right this minute because I am struggling right at this moment but it helps me to orient myself into the outlook where I function best and where God can help me and work with me best.
So giving thanks for the small stuff is a starting point and can sometimes turn our thoughts around toward a positive action. Sometimes it is us who has to do the reaching out toward another person.
