Gallery: Brooklyn Grange is the World's Largest Rooftop Farm!
Brooklyn Grange is the product of Wisconsin native and Head Farmer Ben Flanner, who in 2009 started the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm, the first rooftop soil farm in NYC. Flanner's interest and passion for farm-to-table food led to a farming team with roots in the restaurant business. The owners of Roberta's in Bushwick, Chris Parachini and Brandon Roy, as well as restaurant veteran Anastasia Plakias, sustainable food advocate Gwen Schantz, and the team's first apprentice Rob Lateiner, in addition to dozens of volunteers, all contribute to the farm's growing success. The team partnered with Bromley Caldari, a NYC architect firm dedicated to problem solving, and Acumen Capital Partners, a private company dedicated to the reuse and sustainable renovation of commercial spaces in New York City. Acumen has leased the warehouse rooftop to Brooklyn Grange for 10 years.
Brooklyn Grange's organic produce is grown in 7.5" deep beds with Rooflite soil. Produced by Pennsylvania soil company Skyland, Rooflite is a lightweight soil composed of organic matter compost and small porous stones which break down to add trace minerals that are needed for the produce to grow into a healthy and mature state. The use of organic soil means that everything produced by Brooklyn Grange is sustainable and good for you. The farm had a nine-month growing season last year, and during the winter, they used cover-crops such as rye, buckwheat, vetch, and clove, resulting in a year-round production of organic goodness right in the heart of NYC!
Ben Flanner and his team are community oriented which has helped the young for-profit business succeed. The farmers at Brooklyn Grange hope to reconnect the city to its farms and farmers by improving city citizens' access to good, healthy food. Ultimately, the team's goal is to show that urban farming is a viable enterprise and livelihood that contributes to a sustainable economy and the health of the city. The produce is available for everyday New Yorkers as well as businesses, which in addition to Roberta's include Vesta in Astoria, Marlow & Sons in Williamsburg and many others throughout the city.
Brooklyn Grange is looking forward to expanding to many more roofs to help increase the education and training available to those interested in urban farming. To get involved with the farm, visit Brooklyn Grange's website.

Really really popular in Cuba.. ( they don't really have a choice).
Marcus: The freon in the airconditionning usually stays in the machine.
About the smog… Are you serious ?
April 24, 2011 at 2:01 pm
apparently you didn't read it all marcus, they are year round, and i would take smog over the pesticides and herbicides used on conventional farms.
April 23, 2011 at 1:40 pm
how is this organic?? you have air conditioners on the roof.. freon or puron refrigerant ISN"T ORGANIC… neither is the smog from the city!…. build a green house and CONTROL the environment in which it grows… and you can harvest all year round… this will increase the food production…. just at thought

Jennifer B. and her husband visited the ASPCA Adoption Center to adopt a pair of kittens, but kept an open mind and ended up with a two special adult cats with lots of love to give. Jennifer shared her adoption story with us:
We came to the ASPCA looking for kittens and were determined to let the cats choose us. The kittens we met were not a perfect fit for us, so the Adoptions staff asked if we'd like to see some adult cats. We ended up finding our babies in the last cat room—a room full of kitties that had been rescued from a hoarding situation in Brooklyn.
We sat down and waited to see if any of the cats would show interest in us. Phoebe was a little skittish but came right up and started pawing at me for attention. Hurley woke up from a nap and took a minute before claiming a spot on my husband's lap. We thought: This must be them. They chose us.
I was a little worried that visiting the ASPCA might break my heart when I realized I couldn't take them all home. But my anxiety subsided when I saw how nice the Adoption Center is and how well the animals are cared for.
Phoebe and Hurley are two of the most affectionate cats I have ever been around. They love attention and are very social with guests. Phoebe has turned into a little lap cat, while Hurley loves to snuggle. They have fans all over Astoria, and across the country, for that matter. We love them more than words can say.
Have you adopted a pet from the ASPCA? Email us your story at [email protected], and we might feature it on the blog!
Want to receive more stories like Phoebe and Hurley's?
Sign up to receive our weekly newsletter, ASPCA News Alert - you'll receive important updates on what's going on and how you can make an impact to save animals' lives!
Nothing in this world more heartwarming than cuddling cats. They make our problems go away with their beauty and their love. Phoebe and Hurley are gorgeous and soulful. Congratulations to Jennifer and her husband for adopting two adult cats. You made the perfect choices!
We are blessed with these absolutely special beings who gives us so much more than we can ever give to them. Such loving calmness is what we all need!
What beautiful tabbies! We hd a similar experience several years ago at our local shelter with a gorgeous girl named Simba. She lived a long, happy life of 18 years...we miss her every day. I hope you find your life as blessed as we did.
Bless you for adopting two older cats. I volunteer at a no kill shelter and see so many older cats people do not take. In fact some people who have adopted kittens from us come back years later to give them back because they were too old.
People who would return a cat because it was "too old" should not be allowed to adopt again!
Bravo!! I adopted a 2 year old special needs cat, and would do it again. She is the most loving cat ever. yes, I have vet bills that put me in the red sometimes, but no regrets!
I have never adopted a kitty from a shelter, all of mine have come to me by word of mouth, and "call Mary she can't turn down a throwaway kitty!" I have rescued a Greyhound from a rescue organization, and we recently adopted "Gibbs" a lab/hound mix from NOAH a no kill shelter in Stanwood, WA. A lady I work with adopted a elder calico from our local animal shelter, she's had Cocoa about 18 months now and she was just diagnosed with a tumor in her lung and the vet said she's probably got another 3-4 months to live, but she has given her the last year or so of her life as a loved and well cared for member of her family with her calico little sister Pepper. God bless all who rescue the throwaways uncaring, cruel humans abandon. ~^._.^~
Congratulations on your new Babies!!! They and you are so Lucky!! I just rescued a little girl from Philadelphia last week. She was under a car and just mewoed so much, til she finally came over to me, rubbed and nuzzled me and I said toa co-worker, I can't leave her here. So they brought me a blanket, placed it in my car,placed the cat in my car. Waited for her reactions and when she settled down I started for home. I have 5 others at home who are alittle anxious, but in time will accept her. She'll go to the vet next week for check-up and shots. But I'm glad she is safe and in a good home and protected from the streets. So congrats again on your new forever Babies. They'll bring you both lots of love and laughter!!

Pretty much i would say if you are looking for a bike that can ride DH do FR and still be able to get back to the top of the trail with out much effort then this is a good bike.

Strengths: Geometry is spot on. Bike rails so well, jumps nicely, takes drops without any flex. Great balance on skinnys. Feels perfect down step shutes, and technical downhills.
Weaknesses: 5.5 inches of travel means that you feel what is going on (which is part of the appeal). Paint wants to wear out in a hurry.
Bottom Line:
If you ride XC and like to keep both wheels on the ground get something else. If you crave extended 'All mountain' climbing then get something else (although the BR can climbs fine for it's weight).

Bottom Line:
But don't expect to beat your XC buddies up the hill or your DH mates down its not a magic bike.
The Reign x is a better allrounder and soo much lighter Bottle rocket is still great though but I think other reviews hype it up a bit its not the ultimate do it all bike it is in fact quite specialized.

Environmental Statement
Green? Eco? Environmentally Friendly?
There is much information in the news about "Green" products. We hate the word "Green" (since there is no tangible way to measure a "green" product) and prefer not to define ourselves by that term.
What's important to us is the overall environmental impact of a product, evaluated by the life cycle costs involved in a products' production, maintenance and ultimately, its disposal.
laNeva Artisan Tile was founded on the idea that tile glazes should NEVER contain lead. Since we've been manufacturing tile, we've developed other ways to minimize our environmental impact through creative reuse of waste and reduction of extraneous materials. Everyday we do what we can and continually evaluate and improve our processes. We care about the world and want to see it stick around for our children, grandchildren and beyond.

memek arab indoneiamemek attackChan Chadiya Aamina De Laal Da
Hello everyone! And welcome to my first website!
Computers and the systems are still a bit alien to me. In fact, I'm just using a basic store bought system. So Please bear with me as I learn. Due to a pretty severe back injury, I've become disabled. So now I'm on a fixed income, and I have alot of time on my hands. I've always been a little bit on the creative side. And I've always loved taking pictures. So Getting a digital camera seemed to be an obvious choice. I figured taking some snap shots would help with the boredom (and Depression to say the least). But I had no idea just what was available today. So after a little research I purchased a mid level "point-and-shoot" digital camera and went at it. After I learned "how" to put them on the computer, I thought, there had to be a way to enhance them. Then I discovered what was out there! Editing Programs! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!! After some time (and a steep learning curve), I purchased a printer. As I edited and printed some of my photographs, people (mostly friends and family) where telling me that they liked them. Some where even saying that I could make a living. And that I should start a website so other people could see them. Well, after loading up about four thick photo albums (that are sitting on the table), I figured that maybe I should.
So, here we are. I have a basic computer, a basic "point-and-shoot" digital camera, an entry level editing program, a printer, and a brand spanking new Website!!!!!!! Yeaaaaaaaaaa!!
I'm starting off slowly and will change, add and improve the website as I go. This ride should be a thrill!! I hope you will enjoy looking at these photos, or "Creations" as I playfully call some of them. Thank you and Take Care.............
Update: Here we are at the beginning of September ('09). With the exception of uploading a few images to the website, it's been fairly static. And that's simply because I've been unable to run and maintain this site. I am unable to digest the knowledge I need to do so. I wish to develop a website where people can view and enjoy some of my images, and image creations. I can't say for sure if I have any real "talent", but I can say I've been told phrases such as nice, beautiful, original, unusual, and creative.
Because of my current inability to develop this website, I've enlisted the help of a family member who is trained in these systems and is quite knowledgeable. Although he has allot on his own plate, he has expressed a desire to assist me in this endeavor. I'm hoping that in the near future this website, or an inclination there of, will be up and running with displays of images and image creations for people to enjoy.
Wish me luck and Take Care........

Fill a medium-size bowl with very hot water and drop in a toner tab. Immediately drape a towel over your head and the bowl to let the steam deliver its anti-oxidants and vitamin-rich essential oils to your skin. Once the tab has finished fizzing, remove the towel and gently pat your face dry. Finish off with a LUSH moisturizer for fresh and hydrated skin. You can put the water from the bowl in a spray bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Use it to spritz tired skin whenever you need a lift.

Q:How long should you wait? Just until the steam dies off?Asked on 3/8/2015 by Maddie from Maine
1 answer
A:Once the tab has finished fizzing! You can then continue with the rest of your skin care regime.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Kels from LUSH Direct
Q:How often do you use these ? once a week ? daily ?Asked on 7/8/2014 by Lushhead from Ny
5 answers
A:You can really use them as often as you like, however, since you are steaming your face and opening up the pores, you might want to start with a few times per week and increase if needed. Remember, you can transfer the water into a spray bottle and store it in the fridge for use as a spray toner for up to three days as well!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I would use them about every two weeks! It really left my skin feeling freshI liked them so much I also bought the tea tree toner!! Highly recommend it I use that every other day! Hope you find this helpful
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 7/8/2014 by Anonymous
A:I would say that using this 1-2 times a week would be suffice seeing that
it left my skin feeling rejuvenated for a few days after I used it, and you
can save the left over water in a spray bottle and use it as a toner for up
to three days.Answered on 7/8/2014 by Anonymous
A:You can use as much as you want...I suggest once a week though. I use mine about once a week, and follow with one of the fresh face masks! Feels awesome!

Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 7/8/2014 by Anonymous
A:I used these about once per week – I broke the tab in half and dropped it in a bowl of hot water, then I put a towel over my head and leaned over the bowl, creating a steam. I have combination skin, so I only used 1/2 a tab once per week, but since there is tea tree in it, you might use it more often or the whole tab if you have oily skin.Answered on 7/8/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I normally have semi-sensative skin, but every once in a while sensitive skin products don't seem to do well enough with cleaning my skin.
Would this work well as a every once in a while deep cleaning toner?Asked on 2/12/2014 by Ari from Charlotte, NC
2 answers
A:Everybody's skin is different, but I believe because this is a steam rather than spraying the toner directly onto the skin, it may work very well for more sensitive skin. Our Dream steam would be a great product to try as well!Answered on 3/6/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I have sensitive skin. What works for me is the Mask of magnaminty and then the tea tree toner to get my skin refreshed like once a month. It really gives it a lift.Answered on 2/12/2014 by Anonymous
Q:How many tabs come when you buy 1.Asked on 12/3/2013 by Nessy
1 answer
A:There is only one tab with each Tea Tree Toner Tab! I hope this helps!Answered on 12/8/2013 by Anonymous
Q:Is it ok to use the toner water after the Specified 2 days...Asked on 9/17/2013 by Ej
1 answer
A:We don't recommend keeping or using the water after 2 days, as liquids require some form of preservation to prevent the growth of bacteria. Since our toner tabs do not contain any preservatives, it's best to use as much of the toner as you can within 2 days and then discard the rest.Answered on 9/19/2013 by Brandy from LUSH
Q:Do the toner tabs have use by date or expiry date?Asked on 8/8/2013 by sradha from Australia
1 answer
A:The toner tabs have a 14 month lifespan, so their expiration information would be available on the face sticker on the box and should be 14 months after their creation date.Answered on 8/14/2013 by Anonymous
Q:Do I need to cut it in half? And how much water should I use?Asked on 5/29/2013 by Mads

A:The toner tabs are designed to be used for one steam so you do not have to cut it in half. It is best to fill a medium-size bowl with water, the amount just depends on the intensity that you are looking for!Answered on 9/27/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I don't think you NEED to cut it in half. A lot of people who reviewed this said they preferred to cut it in half because of the scent and the intensity while steaming. I didn't cut mine in half and really loved the smell; I found it really relaxing and mild.
I used a medium-sized mixing bowl with about six or seven cups of hot water, just from the tap. I found that the hottest setting on my bathroom sink provided enough steam for about three to four minutes.
Hope that helps!Answered on 7/11/2013 by Jojo from Seattle
Q:Should you wash your face before or after using the toner tab? And can this replace your toner the day/night you use it?Asked on 8/6/2012 by Lee the Lush Lover
1 answer
A:I'd advise you to use our toner tabs with bare skin (i.e. after cleansing). This way they are likely to better penetrate your pores. It can certainly replace your toner for that day.Answered on 10/31/2012 by Anonymous
Q:I myself have never tried a lush product, but have heard lots about them online. I have a huge acne problem on my T-Zone and was wondering if this would help vanish acne.Asked on 1/12/2012 by TBISME from Colorado

A:This toner tab can absolutely help! Tea tree oil is antibacterial and antifungal, which means that it helps keep the skin clean, and prevents blemishes from forming, and aloe helps to soothe the skin and calm irritation and redness. The toner tab is just one step in a skin care routine, though. Give our customer care team a call at 1-888-733-5874 for a detailed skin care consultation!Answered on 1/31/2012 by Laura from LUSH
A:It didn't do a ton for me, but by no means should you let that turn you off of Lush. They make miracle products. I'd try one of their soaps, or possibly get the bottled toner. It might be a touch expensive but Lush is quality stuff and you get what you pay for.Answered on 4/8/2012 by Azurielm from Newark, DE

Instead of only focusing on what patients need to do to improve their health, let's look at what they bring to a doctor's appointment.
Here are 10 things that physicians love about their patients:
10. Their preparedness. One might think that doctors cringe when patients pull out "the list" of their concerns and questions. On the contrary: this adds great efficiency and still helps us to be complete in what we do. The last thing a doctor wants is for a patient to go home and worry about something they forgot to ask us.
9. Their self-discipline. I have seen many patients shed pounds, shake off cigarettes, trim down on alcohol consumption and put on those sneakers day after day. If I'm honest, I'd say that I myself exercise just so I can look these inspiring individuals in the eyes when we talk about fitness.
8. Their knowledge. I don't always know the "latest and greatest" developments in medicine. My patients are well-informed, and not uncommonly alert me to something I need to research or bone up on. They are "iron sharpening iron."
7. Their ...

T3 describes TomTom GO 700 as a class act
Dec 15 2005 -
T3 describes TomTom GO 700 as a class act
T3 especially emphasizes the great integration of the mobile phone: "The big selling point for this device is the way you can connect it to a Bluetooth compatible mobile phone. Once hooked up it can download real-time traffic info, weather reports and celebrity voice guidance via the mobile. It even doubles as a hands-free kit for some types of phones." Despite of adding new features, the TomTom GO 700 stays easy to use according to T3: "TomTom has managed to keep the amazingly smooth 3D navigation and effortless ease of use of earlier models. There's even a remote control for back-seat navigators."

I'm coolly slouched behind the wheel of my ragtop white-over-baby-blue 1955 Chevy Bel Air 150 with rolled and pleated white leather seats. Cherry bomb glass packs, the engine growls. Lots of chrome, mag wheels; metal shines and glass sparkles. My eyes remain silent behind my Buddy Holly dark shades. My DA is Sur-Lay-ed. The music blares. My main squeeze is sitting close beside me. I deftly pop-pop-pop the Hurst floor shifter, grazing her knee ever-so-slightly. She giggles. She scoots a little closer to me. Her sunshades are white-rimmed and her sheer kerchief billows easily in the wind. Her poodle skirt is pink, and she sips a little Coke in the bottle through a straw, leaving traces of scarlet lipstick. One look, that's all it took, is just one look. The music said that, but I couldn't have said it any better, straighter, truer. Young love, first love, filled with true devo-o-o-o-tion.
"What are you going to do if you win?" comes that angelic voice.
I'm not in the '55 anymore. I'm in Miz Nancy's 4-door Honda. What happened to the dark hair, the sunshades, the DA, the Coke, the red lipstick? Where did the white hair come from?
I finger the two lottery tickets in my shirt pocket — one for me, one for her — that came with this caveat from the harried clerk who rang up the sale: "You're just feeding the beast." Yeah, me and a million more people looking to bring the half-a-billion jackpot bucks home to Easy Street.
"I might buy a restored '55 Chevy," I answer. "Buy you a poodle skirt maybe. How about you?"
"Shoes," she says without hesitation. "It's a girl thing." She adds, "You should buy a Winnebago, drive around the country and write about the folks you meet, like Charles Kuralt."
"Yeah, that'd be cool."
"You'd be good at that." She is super intelligent. It's set: My first couple of hundred will be spent getting her a complete poodle-skirt makeover and shoes. Lots of shoes.
"Of course, you know, this lottery thing, we're not likely to win. I mean the chances are 1 in a jillion."
"I know, but we're doing it for the kids, for education. Right?"
"Right," we nod and agree as if we really believed it.
Silence falls as I lounge in a soft chair under a stand of banyan trees. The margarita is a little tart, but very cold. The salt on the rim is nice and crunchy. The beach bunnies are evenly tanned. They freely parade with only hints of clothing. God was in a great mood when he created them.
"We could remodel the house."
The island girls disappear behind the traffic light where I'm stopped.
"Oh yeah," I agree absently. "That would be top on the list. Remodeling, yeah. We can't forget the poor folks, either. Set aside for church and charity."
Suddenly, my monofilament line starts feeding out at an alarming rate. My Penn International two-speed reel squeals like a teenager on the Wild Mouse roller coaster.
"Set de hook, me main mon, set de hook," the Jamaican mate urges. I pull back on the rod firmly, resolutely. The record blue marlin won't get away from this old man of the sea. No sir. The great fish's struggle quivers up the line and sears my lats and delts. My Hatteras 90 Convertible yacht and me won't be bested this day. The sun is hot on my face, the salt spray is cool on my skin, and even if my Tilley hat with the cool lures on the brim (strictly for effect) blows into the briny deep, I can get another one for free. Yeah, it's good to be king.
"It's green."
"No, it's blue, a blue marlin."
"The light. It's green," Miz Nancy points ahead. "You can go."
"Oh yeah."
In French they are rêves de jeunesse, dreams of youth. They move through my head from traffic light to traffic light, thought to thought, reality and fantasy in one big pinball field held together by a random series of Powerball numbers.
We plot and plan scenarios serious and silly. Set-asides for grandchildren's education. A new tire for the wheelbarrow. Put up a Fantasy Land on the Kirk's Motor Court property. Endless food to stock Loaves and Fishes. Paint for the porch. A cure for cancer and diabetes.
For every new possession we suggest, it becomes clear we really need very little. Unless good health comes up for sale on eBay auction, our budget should cover the everyday stuff. A new tiller would be nice, but then we wouldn't have a reason to engage Ireland Street Mayor Wrenn to turn the garden and chew the fat with us. For every new lake house or motor boat we consider, there would be no need for calling Jim or Jackson or Bryan to fix something gone wrong with the pipes or floors or wiring on our ancient abode.
My father used to have a story about two farmers talking about what they'd do if they won a million dollars. One talked of selling the farm and taking a vacation for the rest of his life. The other said he'd just keep farming 'til all the money was used up. It's the same with us. I'll just keep writing, exaggerating my worth, and avoiding real work until the Grim Reaper gets me in a submission hold.
Besides, I hit the lottery a quarter-century ago when Miz Nancy came strolling into my life.
I'm just living on the interest.

CARSON, Calif. -- Courtesy of Monterrey's website...highlights of the first and second half of the LA Galaxy's defeat to Monterrey.
CARSON, Calif. – Below are Bruce Arena's post game comments from the LA Galaxy's 2-1 defeat to Monterrey.
(On how the game ended…)
ARENA: "Obviously, not good. We actually played a very good game tonight. I think a little bit more experience and a little bit more quality; we win this game by a couple of goals. We end up losing. Credit to Monterrey for their quality and for playing a complete 90 minutes. The goalkeeper makes a big save in an important point of the game, but we were well positioned to get a second goal, maybe a third goal and did a poor job in conceding the first goal. And you know, give Monterrey credit, they're a very good team and I think it was a good game."
(On whether he has a Juninho injury update…)
ARENA: "No I don't."
(On the play of Juninho and Sarvas…)
ARENA: "Good. Both teams are strong in that position. The game was a really good game. I think for the majority of that game, our back line did a great job and then they were very poor in the last 10 minutes. And perhaps the most important minutes of the game, arguably and Monterrey was able to exploit us."
(On whether the club was fatigued…)
ARENA: "No. Everybody is tired. They travel too. Why wouldn't they be tired, right? Everybody is tired at the end of the game. It's experience and concentration and I think some of our players ran themselves out of their positions in the last 15 minutes and it hurt us."
(On Monterrey's last 15 minutes…)
ARENA: "They're a team with a lot of quality and they have very good players all over the field. Obviously, the first goal, I'd like to believe we can do better, but give them a lot of credit. Carlo [Cudicini] put us in a good position to win the game, made some big saves and we let him down a little bit."
(On lessons heading into the second leg…)
"There are clear lessons for our team: the kind of concentration you need, the experience, the tactical understanding. You know, so what if we don't get the second goal, we win the game 1-0. That's it. So obviously, we didn't do the job that we needed to do. If we don't concede, we walk away with a win tonight and position ourselves better to go into Monterrey. Now going into Monterrey is obviously going to be very difficult and that's going to be our challenge.
(On DeLaGarza's offensive presence…)
ARENA: "Just playing the game. At the end of the day, A.J. needs to be defend well, not attacking. I think maybe showed some inexperience in that position where maybe he ran himself into the ground and perhaps it hurt us at the end of the game. Our back line was tired, and they weren't -- they didn't play the last 15-20 minutes of the game in a smart manner. They needed to be much more solid."
(On what his frustration was at the end of the game…)
ARENA: "The result. Why wouldn't I be frustrated? I don't think I should be jumping for joy. It's a game where if were a little bit smarter, a little bit better, we win by a couple goals. Instead we lose. And again tremendous credit to Monterrey, they showed their experience and their quality."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will take on Mexican giant C.F. Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal first leg on Wednesday and as you prepare for the match check out a few links, matchups to watch and my predicted lineup below...
*The LA Galaxy will have Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan at their disposal on Wednesday, each hungry to contribute.
*Omar Gonzalez has plenty of connections to Monterrey and admits that the two-leg series will be emotional.
*Jose Villarreal also grew up watching the Monterrey and is excited about the prospect of facing Los Rayados.
*Two dispatches from the Monterrey side: Backup 'keeper Juan de Dios Ibarra is confident that the can put in a strong performance against LA while head coach Victor Manuel Vucetich has plenty of compliments for Galaxy forward Robbie Keane.
LAGalaxy.com Larry Morgan offered this preview of the CCL match.
Lastly, read my Three Points to the match.
Aldo De Nigris vs. Omar Gonzalez
The lethal finisher takes on the rock solid defender in this battle that will determine the outcome of the game. Gonzalez will have his hands full with De Nigris and his strike partner Humberto Suazo, but his positioning will be key to keeping Monterrey off the board.
Monterrey set pieces vs. Galaxy set pieces
Expect the game to come down to finishing dead ball opportunities as both team are extremely proficient at set pieces. LA's Juninho and Monterrey's Humberto Suazo each have a knack for creating and finishing chances off corners and free kicks.
Robbie Keane vs. Jose Maria Basanta
The battle of the captains. LA expect to have Robbie Keane back in the starting XI against Monterrey and he'll be expected to test veteran center back José María Basanta. The Argentine has been one of Los Rayados' finest contributors as of late and was recently called into Argentina's roster for World Cup Qualifying.
Cudicini; DeLaGarza, Gonzalez, Leonardo, Dunivant; Franklin, Sarvas, Juninho, Magee; Keane, Villarreal
CARSON, Calif. -- Check any of the fine media outlets covering Wednesday night's CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal first leg between the LA Galaxy and C.F. Monterrey and you'll hear about the importance of Robbie Keane, Humberto Suazo, Omar Gonzalez or Aldo De Nigris, but the match may in fact turn on something else, LA's ability to control the midfield against the Mexican giants.
That responsibility will fall to the Galaxy's Brazilian central midfield tandem of Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas, who must battle with Monterrey's Jesus Zavala and Walter Ayovi. The two-time defending CCL winners may be loaded to the brim with talented players, but Sarvas believes that the game will depend on LA's ability to simply retain possession.
"As much as we can have the ball and control the game, that means that they don't have the ball and they're no dangerous against us. I think our team has the players to keep the ball and find the space to create the opportunities," said Sarvas. "We have to be very clever when we going forward to not leave space for the players, also don't turn over the ball because they go fast on the counter attack."
No player was more effective in the month of March than LA Galaxy midfielder Mike Magee and it is no surprise that he was selected as Player of the Month by the North American Soccer Reporters on Wednesday.
Magee currently leads MLS in goals scored with five, equaling his regular season totals in 2011 and 2012. Despite Magee's goal total, the voting was close as Magee earned 17 first place votes just two ahead of Montreal midfielder Patrice Bernier who had 15.
CARSON, Calif. -- The CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal matchup between the LA Galaxy and Monterrey is an important and special contest for each member of the LA club, but it might just be more important to defender Omar Gonzalez.
Both sides of Gonzalez's family hail Mexican state of Nuevo Leon—his father is from Montemorelos and mother is from Monterrey—and the defender made several trips to visit family in Monterrey as a child to visit relatives during summer and the holidays. But his trips weren't limited to family visits as after his freshman year at Maryland; Gonzalez even had a trial with Monterrey's inner-city rivals Tigres UNAL before opting to return to college.
"That's going to be amazing," Gonzalez said of playing in Monterrey. "That one will be more special than the one here, I think, because I'll be playing in front of a bunch of family. My mom's going to fly down for the game, and it's going to be fun."
Gonzalez even has a link to LA's CCL semifinal opponents as his maternal uncle Lalo Rodriguez Plata served as the captain of Monterrey in the 1980's. Gonzalez has yet to speak with his uncle about Wednesday's contest, but he did exchanged texts with him following his appearance for the U.S. National Team in a scoreless draw against Mexico at Estadio Azteca.
There are plenty of emotions swirling around the defender ahead of the match against his childhood club, but once the whistle blows, Gonzalez understands that LA have a match to win.
"We are playing against a team who has won this [tournament] twice, and my family is from there. My uncle used to play there," Gonzalez said. "I just want this to be a good game. It's a good opportunity to show ourselves in front of a good Mexican club and just put ourselves on the map."
To the Galaxy on the map however, Gonzalez will have his hands full as he looks to shut down a vaunted Monterrey attack led by star forwards Aldo De Nigris and Humberto Suazo.
"De Nigris, he's been good for a long time. He is a big presence, and he manages to get into the box always and always finishes off scoring chances," said Gonzalez. "I've been watching [Suazo] on film. He scores amazing goals. His technical ability is great. He's very crafty and very clever, making great runs."
CARSON, Calif. – Monterrey bring an assortment of stars to face the LA Galaxy in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals, but they'll be without starting goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco.
The starting 'keeper has dealt with a right hamstring injury for several weeks leaving the job to 34-year-old backup Juan de Dios Ibarra. The backup made his season debut last Saturday during Los Rayados' 3-0 victory over Pumas UNAM.
Ahead of Wednesday's game, Ibarra is confident that he can contribute on Wednesday.
"I'm confident where I am right now," said Ibarra. "I'm trying to do things the right way and do them how I best know how to do. I'm trying to get confidence to the defenders so we can go out and get a result."
Ibarra's teammate midfielder Jesus Zavala has plenty of confidence in the backup goalkeeper.
"Orozco is a great goalkeeper, but we have confidence in [Ibarra]. He can do good work and we those that come off the bench are good quality," said Zavala." Fortunately, it is two very important games and we'll have to think about the players that we do have and on doing things right."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals opponents Monterrey trained at The Home Depot Center on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's first leg match up.
Monterrey head coach Victor Manuel Vucetich addressed the media and offered his thoughts on the Galaxy…
(On what he knows about the Galaxy…)
VUCETICH: "Robbie Keane is an international who has played in the Premier League. He's an element of the highest quality. Landon Donovan we also know even though he's had the extended quality and we know Omar Gonzalez is a Mexican on the U.S. national team and we know what his strengths are. And we know of a few other of their elements like Juninho and their other defensive midfielder, we've also identified Magee and Clark on the left side. We know their lineup at any given time and we know efficient that they've been in MLS."
(On the importance of set pieces…)
VUCETICH: "In world football, set pieces are fundamental. There are a high percentage of goals that come on set pieces. We've been working on this and have improved and we have to continue improve on that aspect."
(On what he expects from the Galaxy…)
VUCETICH: "We expect Galaxy to want to win and to show their superiority on the field because the football that they've demonstrated lately speaks well of them. So I think that it's going to be a team that's going to be very competitive. "
(On whether there is an advantage for LA playing at home…)
VUCETICH: "I wouldn't call it an advantage. We will play 90 minutes on each field. The time is exactly the same for both teams. Maybe the second leg, the fact that we're at home changes things a little bit because we have the support from our fans."
What are your thoughts on Vucetich's comments.
The LA Galaxy will play their most important game to date on Monday when they take on C.F. Monterrey in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals clash.
Read my Three Points to the below...
CARSON, Calif. – When Jose Villarreal was growing up in Inglewood, Mexican league games were a frequent part of his families' weekend television regiment and among teams that the LA Galaxy forward enjoyed the most was Monterrey.
A self-professed fan of Liga MX giants Cruz Azul, as a child, Villarreal was hungry to consume any soccer game on television and frequently found himself watching Los Rayados.
"I grew up watching up watching these players on the weekends with my family," said Villarreal of LA's CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal opponents. "I know most of the players and I'm a big fan of the team and a fan of them so it's going to be a great experience for me to play against them."
One player that sticks out most for Villarreal is Monterrey's talented striker Humberto Suazo, who Villarreal believes is quite similar to LA's own star forward Robbie Keane.
"He's just a clever player. He's another player like Robbie, same ability around the box and with his creativeness with the ball," said Villarreal. "He's lethal around the [penalty] area so it's going to be a tough match up for our defenders."
Villarreal is expected to contend for a starting spot alongside Keane, but no matter where he finds himself on LA's team sheet, he's eager for a chance to face a Mexican opponent.
"I always dreamed to play in Mexico and to have the chance to play against them tomorrow is going to be fun," said Villarreal. "It's going to be an experience and I'll cherish that forever."
