A view from the Seattle Sounders FC locker room after their 4-0 defeat to the LA Galaxy.
Check out the league provided quote sheet below...
Seattle Sounders FC Head Coach Sigi Schmid
(On the Sounders' performance...)
SCHMID: "Our passing was more negative and back, we tried to dump too many long balls instead of playing over the wings a little bit more. We never forced them to defend for periods of time so we were constantly on our heels."
(On evaluating a loss like this...)
SCHMID: "When you beat San Jose 4-0 that's not going to say you're going to win every game 4-0 and when you lose here 4-0 that's not going to say you're going to lose every game 4-0. You have to evaluate a body of work; you can't react to an individual game or individual 10 minutes or a half or whatever. There's got to be some accountability and we'll address that."
(On the penalties...)
SCHMID: "I didn't think the first one was a penalty, I thought it was a good tackle by Djimi Traore. I thought the second one was a penalty, but I didn't think the first one was."
On Robbie Rogers' return
SCHMID: "It's great. I talked to Robbie briefly before the game and it's great that he's back. I'm happy he's back and we allowed it to be a nice night for him as we played poorly."
Seattle Sounders FC Goalkeeper Michael Gspurning
(On losing 4-0...)
GSPURNING: "It's absolutely not up to our standard and we have to sit together and talk about this one. It's important we stay together and sometimes instead of pointing fingers we as a team need to join together and figure it out."
(On how they bounce back from this loss...)
GSPURNING: "For us, the next game can't be soon enough. I think most of the guys would want to play tomorrow because that's the only way you can make changes for the future."
(On the penalty kicks...)
GSPURNING: "On the first one I felt good. The first one we were still in the game because I made the save. Then of course on the second one, that leaves the thoughts of 'What is he doing? Is he changing direction? There was nothing I could do on the second one. It's just unfortunate that he can retake the penalty."
Seattle Sounders FC Midfielder Mauro Rosales
(On the game...)
ROSALES: "It wasn't our best game. From our form to our rhythm that we've had from past games, we did not have it today. Today the first half was really a disaster. We have to move forward. It's tough to solve but the team has enough experience to step up in the next few games. "
(On how the team overcomes this game...)
ROSALES: "We have to forget about what we did tonight. Tonight, we did everything wrong. When we had the good rhythm of games, we were in rhythm and this is how we have to play. Not today, not in the first half and not in the second half did we control the game but at least in the second we did it more together as a group. We faced the second half with a different mentality and we needed this mentality in the first half before the goals."

My Three Points to the LA Galaxy's 4-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC can be found below.
Three Points: LA Galaxy crush Sounders as Rogers makes his debut
A few notes:
*Robbie Keane's hat trick was his first in an LA Galaxy uniform and took just 21 minutes to complete.
*Keane scored the second quickest hat trick in LA Galaxy history with his hat trick coming 44 minutes into the match. Alejandro Moreno holds the mark for fastest hat trick in LA Galaxy history with his hat trick in 43 minutes back in the 2007 season.
*Sean Franklin's goal was his first of 2013 and his first regular season goal since he scored two in LA's 2-2 draw with Sporting Kansas City on September 5, 2011.
*Todd Dunivant missed the match with a quad strain.
*Sounders FC are 0-5-1 all-time on the road against LA, which includes playoffs and regular season, since 2010. Seattle has been outscored 13-2 in that time.
*The LA Galaxy are 4-1-1 at home this season with a 12-2 goal differential.
*Noted by Seattle Times reporter Joshua Mayers, the match was an ugly one for Seattle:Mayers breaks down one of the worst performances all time for Sounders FC.
*Lastly, and most importantly: Robbie Rogers became the first openly gay male professional athlete in major American team sports by coming into the game in the 77th minute.
CARSON, Calif. -- Below are Landon Donovan's comments following the LA Galaxy's 4-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC. The match was a historic game as it saw the Galaxy debut of Robbie Rogers, American professional team sports first openly gay male athlete.
Donovan's comments are below..
(On the first half performance...)
DONOVAN: "I think our start was really good, not just the goals but the energy. The way we pressed, the aggressive nature we played with. We made tackles, we passed the ball well, we got a lot of chances and then when we had the chance to score we scored. It was as well as we've played all year."
(On what Robbie brings to the team...)
DONOVAN: "Once he's fully fit he's a true wide player that we haven't had in a long time and I know Bruce has been searching for a player like that. On one hand, we lose one of our most influential players which is tough but we're getting a guy who's been very effective in this league and we're really excited to have him."
(On what the team takes from Robbie's courage to return...)
DONOVAN: "I think every person will take something from it individually. For me, it's inspiring in that it's OK to be who we are. We all have differences, we all have things were going through and for him to accept who he is and be proud of who he is I think inspires all of us both as athletes and as people."
On when people will focus on Robbie's soccer life over his personal life...)
DONOVAN: "I think eventually we'll get to that point and that's the hope. But for now, because of the nature of the way sports have been for so many years, the macho-culture that's been embraced by everybody, it's of interest to everybody. So now, for us, hopefully the hype of it is over and for him too. We can just get back to getting comfortable which is what he wants to do."
CARSON, Calif. -- Robbie Rogers made American professional team sports history on Sunday as he became the first openly gay man to participate in a professional game.

Share your thoughts below.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC will face off in a match that may be first in American team sports history as Robbie Rogers, the first openly gay professional athlete looks to take the field.
*Robbie Rogers was acquired on Saturday in exchange for Mike Magee. Rogers talked about his deal in a press conference on Saturday while Galaxy players discussed the deal that sent Magee to Chicago.
*Rogers will be in the game day roster on Sunday after the Galaxy received his International Transfer Certificate on Sunday.
*Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas expect to participate after missing several days of training earlier this week.
*My preview of Sunday's match that focuses on the Galaxy's potential rivalry with Chicago.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the match.
Eddie Johnson vs. Omar Gonzalez
Johnson notched two goals last week in the Sounders impressive victory over FC Dallas, but he'll face a stronger challenge in Gonzalez, who is eager to rebound after a late break down cost the Galaxy a point in their defeat to New York last week.
Robbie Keane vs. Djimi Traoré
The pair battled several times during Keane's time at Tottenham while Traoré was with Liverpool and will face off again on Sunday. Expect Keane to look to get off to a fast start as he'll be off for Ireland duty after the match.
Galaxy/Sounders each look to score first
Sunday's match is a simple case of who scores first wins. The Galaxy and Seattle are a combined 9-0-4 when scoring first, but when they concede, they are 0-7-0.

Expect to see Robbie Rogers in the LA Galaxy's 18-man roster for Sunday's match with Seattle Sounders FC.
The LA Galaxy confirmed via the club's website that on Sunday morning that Rogers' ITC arrived in time for him to participate against the Sounders.
CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Rogers is well aware that because of his sexual orientation that there is going to be scrutiny and possibly a few hateful comments, but he's ready.
During his unveiling as a member of the LA Galaxy after a trade that sent Mike Magee to the Chicago Fire in exchange for Rogers, the 26-year-old talked at length about his move to LA and his place as the first openly gay professional athlete. Although Rogers has received an outpouring of support from the sporting world, he knows that there will be bumpy moments that he intends to meet in stride.
"Our society is changing. Obviously there are a lot of people who are still behind and are not willing to accept the fact that there are gay women and men out there that don't have a choice. I was created this way," said Rogers. "I just those people voice their opinion, this is the United States, and they can say whatever they want. In the end, I'll still love them; I'll still give them a hug if they want one. But I think it is inevitable that everyone will accept that this is just part of life."
Rogers was also asked about New York City FC owner and United Arab Emirates deputy prime minister Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, who has drawn criticism for his nation's stance on homosexuality. The 26-year-old admitted that he'd love an opportunity to sit down with the owner of NYCFC to have an open discussion and show him just how normal that he truly is.
"If I could invite him to sit down and have some coffee with me sometime then I'd love to speak with him and hear his ideas and his beliefs and share mine as well as well because it's a discussion," Rogers said. "What message would I send to him, I wouldn't send him a message, I would just open a conversation with him…I don't know what he thinks that gay men are supposed to be like, I'm sure there are stereotypes that we live up to or that we are so I guess I would just offer an invitation to sit with him and to have a discussion with him. I think that's the important to show him that I'm a lot like the other athletes that he owns."
CARSON, Calif. -- Robbie Rogers may make his LA Galaxy debut on Sunday in the team's match against Seattle Sounders FC, if the club receives his International Transfer Certificate in time.
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena told reporters on Saturday that if the club receives Rogers' ITC then he will be placed into the club's 18-man roster. Rogers is already hopeful that he'll be on the squad against Seattle.
"I expect to be in the 18, but I don't know," said Rogers. "I don't expect one way or the other. I just really want us to win."

Animal cruelty can happen anywhere. From hoarding to neglect, animals are placed in dangerous situations every single day. It's an upsetting fact, but you can help prevent and stop animal cruelty from happening in your neighborhood.
Here are some steps you can take to be an advocate for animals:
Learn how to recognize signs of animal cruelty. There are often warning signs that are indicators that animals are being treated inhumanely. Some are more apparent than others, but by studying this list, you'll know what to look out for.
Know who to call. Find out who is responsible for investigating and enforcing the anti-cruelty codes in your town, county or state. This might include your local humane organization, animal control agency, taxpayer-funded animal shelter or police precinct.
Provide a detailed report. When reporting animal cruelty, it is best to give a concise statement about what you've witnessed or suspect. Include photos if at all possible. Don't forget to include dates, times, and as many details as you can in your report. Keep copies for your own records and take notes!
Follow up. If you don't receive a response from the officer assigned to your case within a reasonable length of time, don't be afraid to contact his supervisor and, if necessary, local government officials.
For more information about reporting animal cruelty, please check out our Animal Cruelty FAQ.
If you witness or suspect animal cruelty in New York City, please contact ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement department at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4450, or [email protected].
As read in a newspaper article and seen on a local TV newscast 65 [mostly small ] dogs were rescued from a below freezing barn in Bethlehem CT run by a director of SPCA. How do you screen people who are supposed to protect animals not subject them to this type of cruelty. It makes me not want to contribute to this organization. I would like to know what will be done to stop this as this director hasother facilities he is responsible for [God forbid]
i wonder why us, humans do this think, it is absolutely sickening and I notice that when people do animal cruelty, they will think its sooooo bad when human or sex trafficking occurs.
I am sorry but this does not work, I found 2 dogs one of which was a very young pit maybe 3 months. They were tied very tightly to a gate. The front yard was full of feces and full of junk and tools and no shade.. Obviously there to protect the tools!! There was no water, no food and they could not reach their dog house. I drove by the next day took photos and left a printed out copy of the leash law, gave them some treats ( they were now off the chains) Called the city. I never received a call I had to call back and the said that my complaint was unfounded. They did not want the photos of the skinny dogs or the short chains or the appalling conditions. I complained again and no one called me. I called back they said my complaints were unfounded. The dogs have suffered through the heat of the Texas sun....I felt helpless, I cant steal the dogs as in Tx you can be shot, I take treats. I feel hopeless and helpless with no where to turn. The city does not care, these people are getting a pay check they don't want to get involved it might cause them extra work. So what do you do when those in charge of animal cruelty turn a blind eye.. do I have to take the body of a dead dog before some one gets off there large behind... I am mad!!

Pros: Decent sound (improved with velour pads), Ok bass (when set between 2-3)
Cons: Very long burn in time, Not portable, didn't like pleather pads, mids slightly to recressed,
From what I have read the COP's there has been a very mixed reaction to the headphones, some love them and some detest them. I have had these headphones for around two year. So here are my impressions and views.
I am not going to get into the unboxing of these headphones, the packaging is ok but nothing special. Really you don't get much with these headphone in the box. Just an instruction manual, 3.5mm detachable cable and an allen key. There are lots of other attachments that you can buy separately with more being released.
Design and Practicality
The look of the COP's is meant to be one of the headphones selling points and they do have a distinctive look about them. The are not the best looking headphone but with the customisable plates and pads they can be made to look quite stylish. Beyerdynamic have released the COP's in several colours and my guess would be that they are trying to tempt the fashion headphone listening into buying something with a little more sound credibility.
I am not convinced by the design of the COP's though, mainly because of practicality. When you buy a set of fashion headphones like the COP's, I would say one of the aims of the headphone is to get notice when out and about and whilst, anyone wearing them will get noticed, they are completely impractical for travelling. The main problem is the size of the headphone. They are great for wearing on head but because of their size, they feel horrible around the neck, like wearing a neck brace and they are not the best headphones for carrying around in a bag. Also because of their closed back design and pleather pads, they get extremely warm. I walked around wearing them around London in November and sweated buckets. They just got too warm to be comfortable. So I am not sure that these headphones are a practical fashion headphone.
Maybe the most interesting area is the bass slider, which has 4 settings in theory though I often use the slider in between settings (I will go into more detail about the bass and the effect the slider has, later in the review).
As I said above the COP's with the pleather pad does get exceptionally warm, even when listening to the headphones at home, my ears got hot. The headphone also clamps to the head quite tightly, and there was pressure placed on one area. The metal in the headband is stretchable though and by flexing the headphones, it will loosen the clamping pressure. The COP's can be fitted with the velour pads from the DT770 and this does make a dramatic difference, whilst there is still heat build up, it is much more manageable. The velour pads do take some time to soften though, to give decent comfort.
Build quality
The COP's are very well made, The headband is made made from sprung steel and is flexable, The headphones themselves are made from a tough plastic, which feels decent. the detachable back plate and ring, with holds it on is made from metal. Everything feels secure and put together, properly.
Cable and 3.5mm jack, Part 1
One of the things I am not a missive fan of is the cable for the COP. If is ok but I have a couple of problems with it, which I have split into too parts. The first part is how the COP cable locks onto the headphone. The lock is plastic ball a bit of plastic which inserts into a gap created in the plastic of the jack (image 1). With removal of the jack the plastic around the gap does seem to take a bit of a bashing. It still works ok but isn't that practical. It is possible to fit other headphone jacks (image 2) but they have to be quite slim due to the hole in the COP's headphone (see image 3)
Iange 1
Locking mechanism of the COP (badly drawn, sorry)
Image 2
M-80 3.5mm at the top, COP 3.5mm.
Image 3
The M-80 jack fits into the headphone because of the plastics thin size.
Being positive for a second I haven't had any knots on the cable at all and the cable is a decent length for listening to MP3 plaers in pockets.
Sound isolation and sound leakage
One of the the stand out areas of the COP is the sound isolation and lack of sound leakage. The closed back design is a massive advantage with the COP when it comes to passive noise isolation and I was really impress with the headphone, this was one of the areas where I think the pleather pad did slightly better then the velour though the difference isn't large. Again the same can be said when talking about sound leakage, which is very good.
I think the biggest contention with the COP's has been with the sound. Some have hated the sound, whilst others like it. I would say that the sound from the COP's is not the most detailed but it isn't bad, when the headphone is set up right.
When I first got the headphones, I hated the sound. It was just horrible and I even put them back into the box and was thinking of shipping them back. Fortunately I decided to give them a decent burn in and this makes a dramatic difference. The COP's really do need a long burn in. Even after two and a half months I would say that the sound is changing. It took about 12 hours before I even began to think that the sound was ok and much much longer to start to enjoy the sound. 40-60 hours and the soundstage started to open up and now it really is nice.
As said earlier in this review the sliders do make a dramatic difference to the sound. There are 4 bass settings, with the bass gradually becoming more bassy as the slider is opened more. Generally I would say that between 2 and 3 giving the best bass response. I generally have the slider set at 2.5 or 3 which give a really good deep bassy sound, without distortion coming into the sound. When the headphones are fully open the distortion becomes noticeable and the sound becomes more muddy. I haven't found the bass to be that punchy, though it doesn't feel bloated either
The mids on the COP's have been the most frustrating part of the sound, and it has take a long time the mids to blossom. When I first started listening to the COP's the mids where terrible and in particular the upper mids. With a lot of listening though (100+ hours) the mids have come out much more and sound a long better, though they are a little recessed.
I haven't had any problems with the highs. To me they sound quite nice and I haven't found them to be too bright,
Cable and 3.5mm jack part 2
The sound from the Bayerdynamic isn't great, after reading on the forum about someone changing cables, I thought I would try the same and used my M-80 cable to compare. I have to say the M-80 cable does help, the sound is louder and too me, it helps with the mids a little (I could be wrong on this)
Sound (continued)
The sound from the COP's is very warm and I would would say that they are not a rounded headphone, audiofiles may want to take a pick axe to them. For some music the COP's feel great but for other kinds of music, they feel out of their depth. I listen to a lot of trance, big beat, rock and generally I would say that listening to these kind of music is nice (I am currently listening to Dark side of the moon, which is a joy). I can't really recommend COP's for classical or pop, the mid's just doesn't have enough presence for me and I find it very hard to get excited at all.
The COP's are a very good headphone, with a great soundstage and generally good sound. When buying them you have to take a bit of a leap of faith because they don't sound great to begin with, but with time you should be rewarded with a nice sound. They are not perfect by any means, are completely impractical for wearing out and are a bit of an oddity, in the world of fashion headphones but they have character in abundance and if you listen to certain kinds of music are great fun.

Loved them!
I wanted magnets for my daughter's graduation party. I found this company and loved their pricing. We also needed labels, so I decided to give them a try. When the magnets came, the color was great and the finish was perfect. The best part was they added a few extra magnets and labels. I will definately use them again!
Excellent Quality
Family and friends loved the magnet announcement. Very pleased with purchase.
Fantastic Grad Announcements
We are so happy that we ordered these instead of the standard high school offerings! The process to make the cards was very easy & the one question I had during the process was answered very quickly via chat. From creation, submitting the order, and receiving it-one week. We used the school colors & the 5 photos came out very clear, vivid, and bright. We included photos from each of my childs activities. Now all the family has a permanent magnet to keep on the fridge and not an invite to toss. The amount we paid was about $20 less than the school prices. Thank you Magnet Street!
Graduation announcement
The magnets are a little smaller than expected, but the pictures are clear and they look great!
Graduation invitations. Excellent quality! fast from production to receiving! AND they threw in extras!!!! A+
needed invitations fro my daughters graduation party. After researching several companies. I realized it would have been only 15.00 cheaper for cards, so why not get magnets?! I LOVE them!!! I read other reviews so just check your font so it is big enough and then the sky is the limit! This was the only company that allowed me to choose my own colors!!! I will recommend this company AND use them again!! and to boot, they gave me "9" extra magnets for free!!!! Thank you pleasure doing business!!! Kim

Beuden Barrett scored with the last play as the All Blacks beat France in New Plymouth.
The All Blacks won 24-9 after leading 8-6 at halftime.
The All Blacks won the first two Tests to clinch the series and they played like a team that was disinterested and already victorious.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen recalled several veterans for the series dead rubber but they were poor.
Dan Carter, on his return, was a mixed bag. His goalkicking reflected his night. He missed from right in front of the posts and then succeeded from the corner.
Carter still showed some excellent touches but the same cannot be said of hookers Andrew Hore and Keven Mealamu, who surely can't make it past this season.
Victor Vito, with only nine starts in four years, also showed that he is more the nearly man of New Zealand Test rugby than the 'Go To' man.
Vito struggled to make an impression and Kieran Read played what was probably his worst Test in an All Blacks jersey.
Read made more mistakes in this Test than he has in his 51 Test career.
France were tenacious and aggressive in the forwards and in defence but they offered nothing in attack.
It was a Test match of poor quality, as most 'after the fact' Tests tend to be.
New Zealand won the first Test 23-13 and the second 30-0.
The 3-0 series win takes New Zealand's record to 42 wins in 54 starts against France, whose current crop managed just the one try in three Tests against the All Blacks.
All Blacks – Tries: Ben Smith, Beauden Barrett. Conversion: Dan Carter. Penalties: Carter (4).
France – Penalties: Jean-Marc Doussain (2). Drop goal: Florian Fritz.

flight delayed with no reason given. My husband checked the Continental web site before leaving the house to pick me up and flight was listed as 'on time' when they knew full well they were going to be late. As a result, he sat around the airport for a couple of hours---again. There is no one to ask and most Continental employees just shrug their shoulders when inquires are made.

Lufthansa personnel were very attentive and cordial all 12 or so hours we were with them. The airport security at Newark gave me 2 choices for pingpong ball sized snow globes I had purchased in Russia as gifts: throw them away or check my bag (for $35!). Two other airports didn't say anything about them so I was miffed at Continental (final leg from EWR to DTW). Then we sat on the tarmac for 2.5 hours for potential storms. All tolled, about 16.5 hours in a plane.....

At the Lynnwood Library on Tuesday, Jim McCluskey entered his Sno-Isle library card number and a PIN number on the screen of a Discovery Station, a demonstration site for the 3M Cloud system. He chose a category, "Pacific Northwest fiction," and picked out a J.A. Jance mystery, "Without Due Process."
With a touch of the screen, he had checked the book out for 17 days. "And you can do it from home," he said.
McCluskey is the collection development assistant manager for Sno-Isle Libraries. Tuesday's lesson was a repeat of a public demonstration of the 3M Cloud system held last Thursday at the Lynnwood Library. Nearly 60 people showed up. "The lobby was packed full," McCluskey said.
What he demonstrated on the library screen is how the system looks to users who download a 3M Cloud Library application. "This is an app-driven service," he said.
Titles available on 3M Cloud Library aren't the only e-books Sno-Isle offers. The regional library system will keep using its e-book system called OverDrive. "We've had OverDrive longer, and have about 22,000 titles," McCluskey said.
Deborah Tahara, a Sno-Isle Libraries marketing specialist, said the difference with the 3M Cloud Library is simplicity. It takes far fewer steps than with OverDrive for readers to browse and check out e-books.
"It's synchronized with our catalogue. This is ground-breaking stuff," McCluskey said.
The 3M Cloud Library is integrated with Sno-Isle's Polaris Integrated Library System. Polaris allows Sno-Isle users to manage their library accounts, place requests, keep reading lists, and conduct other functions online.
At last week's introduction, 3M Cloud Library Systems business manager Matt Tempelis said the technology was created "with ease of use in mind." Yet as with any new technology, there are drawbacks.
While OverDrive e-books can be downloaded to a PC, iPad, Kindle or other device, the 3M Cloud Library's e-books are not compatible with Kindle e-readers. The new system's e-books can be read on a PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Nook tablets, Android devices, smartphones, and Kobo, Sony and Nook e-readers.
"We currently don't support Kindle," said Connie Thompson, communication manager for 3M. "That doesn't mean that in the future we won't, but right now they don't support the 3M Cloud Library." The Kindle is an Amazon product.
Older Kindle e-readers don't work with 3M Cloud Library, McCluskey said, but 3M is compatible with the Kindle Fire because that tablet uses the Android operating system. However, he said, "it isn't as seamless a user experience" with a Kindle Fire.
Compatibility with Kindles, he said, is one of several reasons Sno-Isle will keep OverDrive e-books.
Beyond ease of use, e-book availability is an advantage with 3M Cloud Library. Jeanne Crisp, Sno-Isle's technical services and facilities director, said last week that "3M has been able to work some deals with publishers to give us content that we haven't been able to get in the past."
In less than a year, 3M Cloud Library has been launched in 1,000 libraries, Thompson said. Sno-Isle Libraries are the first in Washington to use it, and the first library system in the Northwest to "go live with 3M," McCluskey said.
This year, the only cost to Sno-Isle are the e-books themselves. In future years, McCluskey said, the library will pay a hosting fee to 3M.
A 2011 survey found that readers weren't making great use of e-books offered by libraries.
The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project study, which surveyed about 3,000 people in November and December 2011, found that just 12 percent of e-book users had downloaded text from a library over the previous year. An Associated Press article about the survey said another Pew study found that about 20 percent of adults had recently read an e-book.
Considering how popular tablets and other devices have become, those numbers are sure to rise. At last week's Sno-Isle introduction, seniors and kids alike wanted a peek at 3M Cloud Library.
"I'll tell you, demand for e-books just keeps growing," said Kendra Trachta, deputy director of Sno-Isle Libraries.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful Work
The Program Fans that we ordered for the Wedding were exactly what we wanted. The quality of the printing and paper used was much more than we expected. The guests at our beach wedding raved about how perfect they were. We had to place a rush order due to temperature changes, and the programs were at our door within several days which eased our stress. Thank you so much for making our day so much easier. You come highly recommended in our eyes.
Great Fans
The fans were exactly what I ordered with a very nice quality paper. They were a big hit at the beach wedding. I would not hesitate to order again from this company.
Great Program Fans
High quality program fans that match the industry standard in pricing for what you get. I loved getting to go online to design my own wedding program fans using their templates. Highly recommend!
Great product
I was a little hesitant on ordering as I considered making my own wedding programs. I was very wrong! These programs were so beautiful and made with great quality. They even included some extra in the order!
Beautiful fan program for beach wedding
Excellent product. Beautiful results. Easy but cannot use iPad (new or old). Must have flash which does not run on iPads. Should upgrade software to work on iPad and tablets.

The principality of Monaco and city of Monte Carlo lie on the southern Mediterranean Sea coast of France, near the border with Italy, in Southern Europe. It is the second smallest independent state in the world (after the Vatican) and is almost entirely urban. With no natural resources to exploit other than its location and climate, the principality has become a resort for tourists and a tax haven for businesses. Monaco is six times the size of the Vatican. Though it has lost the title of world's most densely populated city to Macau, it remains by far the world's most densely populated independent country with second place Singapore lagging some 10,000 people per square kilometer behind.

I know I am too late..now that blizzard have a discount for it I want to ask something before I buy
1)I have never played starcraft and I know nothing about the lore. Do I need to know what happened in the first game before I play the second?If yes, is there anywhere I can see/read about it?
2)I am not interested about the multiplayer part. I heard about the multiplayer is awesome. Is this is why Starcraft have high rates? Is it worth to buy it only for the single player part? Does it take long to finish it and does it have any kind of replayability?(shape the story by chosing different paths, e.t.c.)

not sure what you want when you give a 7 footer the ball at the 3 point line with 2 seconds on the clock and someone in his face.
if anything, his foul prevented an easy dunk.

On April 11, 2013, the Illinois House of Representatives approved a proposal seeking to eliminate the position of lieutenant governor by constitutional amendment. In order for the measure to be passed, it must win approval of both the State Senate and Illinois voters. If the proposal is approved in a statewide public vote, the office will emain intact for one final term following the 2014 election.[1]

The 46th and current Lieutenant Governor is Sheila Simon, a Democrat elected on November 2, 2010. Simon took office on January 10, 2011. The office was vacant for two years until Simon took office after former Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn became governor on January 2, 2009. Per the Illinois Constitution, if a lieutenant governor leaves office to fill a vacancy in the office of governor, the position of lieutenant governor remains vacant until after the next general election.
Before becoming lieutenant governor, Simon served on the Illinois Reform Commission, a 15-member body that proposed revisions to state ethics rules. She served on the Carbondale City Council from 2003 to 2007 and was an assistant professor at the Southern Illinois University School of Law from 2000 to 2005. Simon previously worked as an assistant state's attorney in Jackson County, IL from 1994 to 1998 and an associate in the firm of O'Neill & Colvin (Carbondale, IL) from 1992 to 1994. Simon holds a bachelor's degree from Wittenberg University and a J.D. from Georgetown Law School.[2]

Supply Chain Interactions due to Store-Brand Introductions: The Impact of Retail Competition
2010, European Journal of Operational Research
Hans Sebastian Heese, A. Groznik
Store-brand products are of increasing importance in retailing, often causing channel conflict as they compete with national brands. Focusing on the interactions that arise in single-manufacturer single-retailer settings, previous research suggests that one main driver of store-brand profitability to the retailer is that it leads to a reduction of the national-brand wholesale price. Under retail competition, the Robinson Patman Act then introduces an interesting trade-off: A retailer that introduces a store brand incurs the associated costs and risks, while sharing this benefit with its competition. We show that the resulting interactions can cause retailers to play "chicken", either of them preferring a store-brand introduction by the competitor. Such interactions do not arise in channels with a single retailer, as has been the object of most previous research, and we show that some of the key insights derived from single-retailer models fail to hold when retailers compete. We conduct a numeric study, and our findings suggest that retailers are more likely to randomize their store-brand introduction strategies when customers have strong store preferences, and when the retailers' store-brand products are similar to the national-brand product in terms of customer valuations and production cost.
Groznik, A. and H. S. Heese (2010), "Supply Chain Interactions due to Store-Brand Introductions: The Impact of Retail Competition," European Journal of Operational Research, Vol. 203, No 3, pp. 575-582.

Gallery: INHABITAT INTERVIEW: Water Architect Koen Olthuis on Floating ...
Architect Koen Olthuis of Waterstudio.nl has been fascinating the Inhabitat editors for years with his innovative floating buildings and aqua-tecture. Far from being confined by convention — or by the boundaries of dry land — Olthuis has made a name for himself as an architect who pushes the boundaries of possibility when it comes to the built environment. With a studio focused on designing floating buildings for a future water world, Waterstudio.nl has designed everything from floating apartment complexes in the Netherlands to a floating mosque in the UAE to even an entire floating community of islands for the Maldives. While we've spoken in depth with Koen before about flood-resistant architecture, floating buildings and what he calls 'sustainaquality' — in the light of the latest tragedies that have hit Japan, we have to ask: how and relevant and sound is water architecture for today's concerns? Read our exclusive interview where Olthuis explains the sustainability of building on water, as well as how he uses 3D modeling technology to help both clients and skeptics visualize how building on water could change the world.
Aerial view of the Netherlands by Jill Fehrenbacher for Inhabitat
Inhabitat: You've made quite a name for yourself as a designer of floating buildings. What attracts you to floating architecture? What got you started in this space?
Koen: I grew up in the Netherlands, half of which is situated below sea level. Thirty percent of its surface is covered with lakes, rivers and canals. What got me started was my refusal to believe that water is a border for urban components – I wanted to go beyond the waterfront. But what attracts me the most about floating architecture is the enormous flexibility water offers us, and the virtually unexplored limitless possibilities water brings to metropolises worldwide. Planning for urban change using water will help us cope with the yet unforeseen effects of climate change and urbanization.
Inhabitat: What is your favorite floating building project that you've worked on and why?
Koen:I would say the floating harbor for Dubai. This project ticks all the boxes in terms of what's important in communicating the potential of floating developments, helping to make them a reality worldwide:
- The size. Shaped as a triangle with three sides of some 700 meters each, the buildings dimensions are huge.
- Change of perception. It's one of those buildings that makes you realize how solutions can sometimes be found by thinking differently. A harbor itself can be floating too.
- A different kind of architecture. On the water there is more space, so we can project buildings that do not have to fit within the urban limitations of size and structure.
- The sustainable possibilities. The building shows how building on the water can take advantage of new technologies in creating sustainable projects. This building for example will use water cooling and generate its own energy by means of solar cells.
- Technical innovation. The building will also function as a breakwater for the inner harbor which is used for the smaller transit boats. The structure itself thus provides protection for wind and waves.
- Showcase of proven technology. The building uses a combination of existing offshore technologies like huge oil tankers, oil rigs, ocean liners, and so on; each of these elements show us how solutions can be found if we look beyond the confines of our own architectural profession.

Deliberative process exemption-Maryland
|Sunshine Review.
Please help us by expanding it.
A deliberative process exemption to open records requests is one that shields from public scrutiny that papers and materials that elected officials use in the course of reaching a decision. There are two clear arguments for this exemption. The first argument for the exemption centers on the notion that public officials should be able to conceal much of the thought process behind making a decision in order to protect the free flow of opinions and information. The courts and legislatures have traditionally argued that without the exemption in place, the ability of public officials to receive opinions from their constituents would be hampered. In addition, the exemption is in place to protect the internal thought processes and notes of public officials from public scrutiny, as predecisional material is typically considered work product and is thus exempt. Various states approach this exemption differently, with some enforcing a broad definition while others reject it outright.

MARK KEOHANE, in his Business Day newspaper column, says Western Province lifted the Currie Cup in Durban because they played as a team.
World Cup-winning coach Jake White was often quoted as saying the 15 best players don't necessarily make for the best XV. Rugby, White argued, was a team game and he viewed the team as a collective.
Western Province, in beating the Sharks in the Currie Cup final in Durban, won it with a team effort. Individuals were inspirational, but it was the collective will of the team that saw them overturn a 12-3 deficit to win the title for the first time in 11 years.
Springbok and Bulls legend Victor Matfield, in summary of Province's last minute semi-final win against the Lions a week earlier, suggested the 20m rolling maul was massive in the context of the team dynamic and that it could finally see Province turn individual potential into team reward.
There has always been a feeling among players up north that the delights of playing for Western Province (and the Stormers in Super Rugby) give players a celebrity like status in Cape Town and that the individual often stands taller than any team collective.
Brilliant individuals played for Province and the Stormers in the last decade but as a team they always fell short of success in the Currie Cup and Super Rugby. Something always seemed to be missing and Matfield felt the way this Province team worked for the win against the Lions and the way eight forwards worked in unison and refused to be beaten in the last minute of the game was something he had not seen from a Province team.
Just maybe, said Matfield, this is the start of something special.
Just maybe it is because the semi-final was not won on individual brilliance and neither was the final. Sure there inspiring individual performances, especially from lock Eben Etzebeth, but the most inspiring aspect was how the players believed in each other and played with the cohesion of players who believed that to win it they had to believe in the qualities of their team-mates.
Province were underdogs and not expected to win so they also had an advantage in that there wasn't expectation. It does make a final easier when so few anticipate victory, even if so many hope for the victory.
The Sharks were expected to win. Their match 22 had superior pedigree. They demolished the Bulls in the semi-final and they were playing at home.
Their players also expected to win and if anything mentally they didn't give the final the necessary respect. They will dispute this but they played like a team who believed the opposition wasn't good enough to win. I'd argue their focus was wrongly on who they were playing instead of the fact that they were playing in a final.
The intensity and edge needed to compete and win a final wasn't there from the Sharks. All the edge came from the visitors.
Supporters will ask how is it possible not to pitch for a final? It's certainly not through a lack of desire. Experienced coaches always warn of the danger of players being too hyped in their preparation and mentally playing the game in the week and being drained come match day. This wasn't one of those occasions because there wouldn't have been doubt within the Sharks camp that they could be successful.
The Sharks coaches would have feared complacency, but no matter the caution a player has to believe he could lose if he is to ensure he doesn't. I just don't think it ever occurred to the Sharks players they could lose and sport continues to produces finals in which the overwhelming favourites get done in a one-off because the desire to win is not matched by the fear of potentially losing.
The better team on the day won and it's hard to argue with a result that goes to the team that gets it right. Province got it right in the final. They deserve every ovation for the performance.
I also think Bok coach Heyneke Meyer and his selectors deserve applause for being bold enough to select London-based Saracens hooker Schalk Brits in the Bok squad.
It sends a positive message that if you play well enough you will get selected, regardless of where you are based or how old you are.
Brits has played well enough, especially in the last two seasons. Equally so the Toulouse-based former Bulls prop Gurthro Steenkamp, who is another deserving national call-up.

Encryption is mostly used to remove clear passwords from settings (database or SCM credentials for instance). The implemented solution is based on a symetric key algorithm. The keypoint is that the secret key is stored in a secured file on disk. This file must only be owned and readable by the system account that runs the SonarQube server, the analysis with SonarQube Runner, SonarQube Ant Task, Maven or from the Continuous Integration server.
The algorithm is AES 128 bits. Note that 256 bits cipher is not used because it's not supported by default on all Java Virtual Machines (see this article).
1. Generate the secret key
A unique secret key must be shared between all parts of the SonarQube infrastructure (server and analyzers). To generate it, go to Settings > Configuration > General Settings > Encryption and click on Generate secret key:
2. Store the secret key on the SonarQube server
Copy this secret key in a file:sonar-secret.txt
Store this file on the machine hosting the SonarQube server (default location:
~/.sonar/sonar-secret.txt). If you want to store it somewhere else, set its path through the
sonar.secretKeyPathproperty in SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties:SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties
- Restrict its access to the system account running the SonarQube server (ownership and read-access only).
- Restart your SonarQube server.
3. Generate the encrypted values of your settings
Go back to Settings > Configuration > General Settings > Encryption and generate the encrypted values or your settings:
4. Use these encrypted values
Server side
Simply copy these encrypted values into SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties:
Restart your SonarQube server.
Batch side
Copy the secret key file on the machine running the analysis.
Copy these encrypted values into the analyzer configuration file: sonar-runner.properties, settings.xml, etc. Do not forget to define the path to your secret key as well.

Summiting hills and mountain tops is all a part of the joy and seduction of mountain biking. Therefore, it is rather fitting that when Fuji was founded in 1899 , it was named after Mount Fuji, a Japanese symbol of strength and endurance, and one of the most iconic and Majestic mountain peaks in the world. With that said, Fuji is a brand that believes in the core characteristics in which cycling represents; strength, endurance, challenge, and triumph. The same can be said about their bikes.
The 2012 Outland 29 3.0 is held together with the A6-SL alloy frame, making it incredibly durable. The hydroformed top and down tube provide a more upright geometry for more comfort and better rider endurance, while shaving off precious weight. The versatile Shimano Deore front derailleur, rear derailleur, and Deore Rapid Fire shifters contain the same key functions as its Deore XT big brother, but at an affordable cost, whilst providing the kind of shifting efficiency that no rider should be without. The Shimano M552 Hollow Tech crankset, Shimano Press-Fit bottom bracket, and Shimano Deore 11-36 cassette provide a drivetrain with a big gear selection that is full of possibilities. Having three chain rings give the bike an extra set of gears, making climbing steep grades more comfortable for the rider.
The Fuji Outland 29 3.0 comes complete with full suspension courtesy of RockShox. In the rear you have RockShox Bar R and up front you have the RockShox XC 32 TK 29 fork with 100mm of travel, making trudging over rocks, roots, and other obstacles less violent. The oval M250 alloy flat bar is a 710mm wide handlebar! These extra wide handlebars make handling this 29" beast easy and provide more leverage for climbing harsh mountain slopes.
The Fuji Outland 29 3.0 2012 is an able bike fitted with components that allow it to be affordable and performance ready, which will be certain to surmount whatever terrain you may come upon. The Outland 29 3.0 is strong and endurance proven, and will be sure to meet the challenge and triumph!Components

Comments about Fuji Outland 29 3.0 Bike 2012:
I´ve had this bike for a week now. And I just can´t spend a day without using it! I'm not a bike expert, and must say this is my first bike with this much equipment, and can't believe how good it is. Definitely "best value for my money" bike.

Comments about Fuji Outland 29 3.0 Bike 2012:
It may not be a big name brand like Specialized, Cannondale, Giant, etc. but Fuji did a great job with this one. Although it is an entry-level FS mountain bike, You won't find a new FS mountain bike with Deore/Rockshox components for under $1200. Plus components don't change drastically after two years. I'm glad I purchased it and I plan on upgrading a few parts since JensonUSA didn't have the 1.0 in my size. I have taken it through trails and some light downhill without any issues. I would recommend to change the saddle since has it has no support whatsoever and the fork is a coil suspension (not air). The Bar R isn't versatile either but that's alright. Still a great bike and looks good too!

Comments about Fuji Outland 29 3.0 Bike 2012:
This is hands down the best bike for the money! I test rode comparable Trek and Specialized bikes at my local bike shop before purchasing this, and I honestly cannot tell the difference between these bikes - other than the fact that the Trek and Specialized were three times the price. I have been mountain biking for about 15 years and this bike is replacing a 15 year old Specialized with full suspension. The Fuji is leaps and bounds better than my old bike!
My only complaints are the size (it's BIG!) and the seat. I am 5'11 with a 30" pant inseam. I ordered a medium (19") and there is about 1" clearance between me and the middle bar when I'm standing over the middle bar. I never thought I'd ever fit a small bike, but in this case it is what I should have ordered. Secondly, the seat is really hard and uncomfortable. I hate to give it up because the white is very stylish with the bike, but I'll end up replacing it with something that won't leave me bruised!

Comments about Fuji Outland 29 3.0 Bike 2012:
TBH, I was looking for the best valued F/S bike online and JensonUSA had it right on point with this one after much research. It may be a couple years old but components don't change that dramatically. I would have bought either the 2.0 or 1.0 if they had the 17" frame but this was still a great value. I haven't put that many miles on this bike yet it's been through some rough trails and light downhill with no problems. However, I would recommend buying a new saddle and rear shock. This is a solid bike and looks good too!

Comments about Fuji Outland 29 3.0 Bike 2012:
I purchased the outland 2.0 same as this one just better shocks, and its a dream to ride, I transitioned from a 26 to this 29 and its 10x better. I shopped around for bike deals and compared close to 30 bikes and this one its a steal. Jesonusa shipped it and 6 days later I had the bike at home (ATLANTA).I cannot be more content with this purchase best money ever spent! I will like to Thank Lee @ jensonusa for answering all my questions.

Comments about Fuji Outland 29 3.0 Bike 2012:
Great bike overall. One thing to note is Fuji bikes run big. I am 6'1 215 lbs and a 19" fits me perfect, a 21" would have been huge.
Rides smooth, you can add air to the rear shock to stiffen it up. You can also get a stiffer spring for the front shock if needed.
Very happy with this purchase

I had a fuji Outland 2005 and this was the replacement for my stolen bike.
This rides smoother than my 2005, that was expected but not how smooth, its just such a fun ride!
The color and design are sexy and sleek, you need to get a great lock if you ever leave this thing un attended, everyone is always staring at.
Great price too!

The Arctic Ocean's pristine waters are in danger. No technology currently exists to clean up oil spilled in the region home to endangered whales, polar bears, seals and other wildlife.
Demand a more cautious approach to offshore drilling in the Arctic. Drilling in the Arctic isn't worth the risk!
Dear Sec. Jewell:
Allowing oil drilling and development in the pristine and remote waters of America's Arctic Ocean is a risky and unnecessary venture. Government scientists agree that more data is needed to fully understand the impacts of an oil spill in this sensitive region. Given this, I urge you to rescind the Chukchi Sea lease Sale 193 leases and gather vital missing baseline data and oil spill response information before moving forward with leasing and drilling in the Arctic Ocean.
The rush to allow oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean puts a sensitive ecosystem at unnecessary risk. It threatens endangered and threatened species, as well as Native communities.
Please consider the impacts of your decision to open the Arctic Ocean to oil drilling. Just over a year ago, a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico devastated that region. Don't make the same mistake twice by opening the Arctic Ocean to unsafe oil drilling.

The versatile Morgan Parra has been named as one of just three changes for France ahead of Saturday's Test against Samoa.
It appears as if France coach Philippe Saint-Andre has taken note following Samoa's shock win against Wales last Friday. Wales made wholesale changes ahead of that particular clash, and were made to pay a heavy price.
Saint-Andre has opted to make minimal changes. Parra will replace scrumhalf Maxime Machenaud, while Thomas Domingo and Benjamin Kayser are introduced in the front row.
France – 15 Brice Dulin, 14 Wesley Fofana, 13 Florian Fritz, 12 Maxime Mermoz, 11 Vincent Clerc, 10 Frederic Michalak, 9 Morgan Parra, 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Fulgence Ouedraogo, 6 Yannick Nyanga, 5 Yoann Maestri, 4 Pascal Papé (c), 3 Nicolas Mas, 2 Benjamin Kayser, 1 Thomas Domingo.

The Oakley SI LIGHTWEIGHT GLOVE is mission-specific gear, designed for operations that require low weight with proven performance. Breathability is essential for warmer climates, so this glove combines span nylon with AirpreneÆ for maximum comfort. We utilize AX suede to maintain dexterity at the palms, and the reinforced trigger finger is removable for easy adaptation. A high-friction pattern on the fingers provides a sure grip.
- Protection / breathability / low weight via combo of span nylon and AirpreneÆ
- Dexterity of AX suede palm, perforated for breathability
- Enhanced grip of high-friction print pattern on first and second fingers
- Imported
Airprene joint panels
Engineered for added breathability, Airprene is utilized in joint panels to improve fit and flexibility. This enhances both comfort and freedom of movement.
Special textiles and construction techniques enhance breathability to improve comfort by reducing the buildup of moisture and heat. The resulting micro-environment is less favorable to bacterial growth, so breathability helps reduce odor.
O Stretch™
Combines the freedom of movement and comfortable fit of resilient four-way stretch with HydroFree™ treatment, a technology that repels water. HydroFree minimizes water absorption and moisture retention, and it allows the garment to dry more quickly.
