Ahead of the all-important 2014 season, LA Galaxy club President Chris Klein took a moment to speak to Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl about the upcoming season, the Galaxy Academy and a number of other topics.
Check out the interview below.
CARSON, Calif. -- Add another right back into the mix for the LA Galaxy.
Veteran right back James Riley has joined training camp and joins trialists Dan Gargan and Matheau Hall who have been with the team since the start of training camp. According to a source, the 31-year-old attack-minded full back received a call from the Galaxy over the weekend and has just begun to train with the club over the past two days.
A nine-year veteran in MLS, Riley has made a total of 211 appearances for a total of five clubs. Riley spent the 2013 season with D.C. United, making 21 appearances in league play while helping the team win the 2013 U.S. Open Cup, but was released by the team through the league's Re-Entry Draft process. The defender has also made stops with the New England Revolution, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC, and Chivas USA
Thoughts on Riley?
Last week, myself and the rest of the LAGalaxy.com team had the privilege of receiving a first hand look at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's latest exhibit entitled "Futbol: The Beautiful Game."
The exhibit is currently running now and will be at LACMA until July 20th.
Below are a series of social media highlights for the tour.

CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy II will play their first ever match on Feb. 13 against the Fresno Fuego at Chukchansi Park at 7:00pm.
The USL PRO team which was announced last week will play the match in tandem with the first team's "Central California Cup" tilt on Feb. 15 against the San Jose Earthquakes. LA Galaxy II will suit up again a week later against the first team in the "Blue and White Game" on Feb. 22 at StubHub Center.
Tickets can be purchased at ticketreturn.com or at the Chukchansi Park Box Office.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy announced on Monday that the LA first team will take on USL PRO side LA Galaxy II in the "Blue and White Game" on Feb. 22 as part of "Legends Night" at StubHub Center.
The match will begin at 7:30pm PT is open to the public with free parking being provided for all attendees. The Blue and White Game will also conclude "Legends Night," which allows fans to meet players, take part in an wine-tasting in the Champions Lounge and observe a discussion with Bruce Arena and Galaxy II head coach Curt Onalfo on the implications of the USL PRO project for a $50 donation to the LA Galaxy Foundation.
During the game -- which has roots in college football preseason traditions -- the Galaxy will don their white kits while Galaxy II will wear blue uniforms.
Thoughts on the event?
Share them below.
CARSON, Calif. – Preseason is typically loaded with battles for positions, but no competition will be more closely watched this season than the fight to start up top alongside LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane.
The two top contenders vying for head coach Bruce Arena's attention are Canadian target man Rob Friend and Brazilian striker Samuel, both of whom were brought in last month to add height and physicality to the Galaxy forward line. Each carries their own traits to the tussle as the 6-foot-5 Friend brings more than a decade of European experience with him while Samuel is considered a highly-touted prospect by LA brass.
Although Friend acknowledges the competition between the two similar players is beneficial for the Galaxy, he believes that two players should push each other over the long season.
"I don't think that [Samuel] is exactly like me. I'm more of a straight up target man and he roams a little bit as well," said Friend. "We're all different players and I think that we can bring something. It's a long season and it gives Bruce the option to use different players with different qualities up front."
Who do you think should start alongside Keane?

Club Tijuana's road woes continued as they dropped a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Pumas UNAM on Sunday afternoon in Mexico City.
UNAM took the lead after just 15 minutes with Daniel Ludueña screamer from 30 yards out that sailed into the Xolos net. Pumas doubled their margin in the 34th minute when defender Diego Veron found himself unmarked on the far post and cooly placed a header past Xolos goalkeeper Cirilo Saucedo. In the second half, Tijuana attempted to cut the lead to one, but the home side added a third less than four minutes from full time as Pumas midfielder Martin Bravo dashed up field and fired a well-timed cross to David Cabera who buried a leaping header into the back of the net.
The LA Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal opponents are now winless in their last 17 matches away from Estadio Caliente and have taken just four away points out of a possible 51 over the past year. Three Americans earned the start for Xolos as Herculez Gomez, Edgar Castillo and Paul Arriola each started in the defeat.
The Galaxy will face Pumas next week in a closed-door scrimmage in Mexico City.
Highlights of Tijuana's defeat are below.
CARSON, Calif. – The U.S. National Team completed their tenth January camp in Carson on Saturday with a 2-0 victory over Korea Republic, but before next year's 11th edition changes may be coming.
Following a Chris Wondolowski-fueled victory over Korea, U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann noted that he may hit the reset button on the camp in 2015. In particular, Klinsmann stated that while this particular camp was vital for his team with the 2014 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, future January camps may have a different a different makeup.
"Maybe in the future…it'll be more likely used as a developmental camp. Maybe we cut it down to younger players and see how we can develop those younger players because it shouldn't be our job to cut their season shorter and get them fit, that's actually the job of MLS," said Klinsmann in his press conference following the U.S. victory. "I always mention that I would like to see the MLS season getting lengthened now we're going to get more teams in 2015, so hopefully that happens.
"We will kind of rethink the January camp in a non-World Cup year," Klinsmann added. "Maybe we change some things with this camp because of the possibility of looking at the next generation of players coming through the ranks."
Should January camp change?

CARSON, Calif. – Jose Villarreal made his first appearance in a Cruz Azul kit on Saturday as he scored a goal for the team's U-20 side in a 1-1 draw with the Chivas de Guadalajara U-20's.
Villarreal's goal came five minutes into the match and comes less than a week after he made his first appearance for the team as a whole in a friendly against a non-professional team from the Mexican Armed Forces.
The Galaxy attacker was joined in the lineup by San Diego-native Michael Farfan who also made his first showing for the Cruz Azul U-20 side.
The StubHub Center was packed to the brim with 27,000 for the U.S. National Team's 2-0 victory over Korea Republic on Saturday. The crowd was the first sell-out for the U.S. at the StubHub Center and just the second time that the national team had sold out the venue.
The last time that the U.S. sold out the stadiun? Nearly seven years prior on June 9, 2007 for a CONCACAF Gold Cup match between the U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago.
Whether it was the boisterous American Outlaws U.S. Supporters Group or the loyal fans of Korea, the stadium was rocking for a complete 90 minutes—a fact that did not go unnoticed by the players on the pitch.
"I was surprised to be honest," said LA Galaxy forward Landon Donovan. "I thought that the energy was great, the national anthem was great. It's a lot of fun to play in that environment especially in my home stadium. It was just great."
Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando agreed: "It was a great crowd. I've never played here with the U.S. team when it was sold out like this. It was fantastic to see everyone come out and support us."

Next generation of reactors will be built at Sellafield and Heysham, the Government announced today as it pushes ahead with plans for new nuclear power plants.
In the first major announcement on the future of nuclear in the UK since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the Government outlined the locations deemed suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites.
The eight sites are: Bradwell, Essex; Hartlepool; Heysham, Lancashire; Hinkley Point, Somerset; Oldbury, South Gloucestershire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Sizewell, Suffolk; and Wylfa, Anglesey.
The plans for new nuclear power plants are part of a series of national policy statements on energy which were published today, following a public consultation.
They will be debated and voted on in Parliament, but ministers are hopeful that, with a pro-nuclear majority in the Commons, they will win the argument.
Nuclear power is one of the issues that divided Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when they entered Government together, with the coalition deal allowing a Lib Dem spokesman to speak out against any new nuclear plants, while Lib Dem MPs could abstain on the issue.
Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has since given his backing to new reactors, insisting they would not be subsidised by the taxpayer - although MPs have warned that reform of the electricity market could favour nuclear power and amount to a hidden subsidy.
The Government is planning the new suite of reactors to maintain electricity supplies and cut greenhouse gas emissions as an old generation of power stations is shut down.
The future of nuclear as a power source for countries around the world was called into question earlier this year after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami rocked the reactors at Fukushima, leaving radioactivity leaking from the plant.
Mr Huhne signalled last month that plans for new reactors in the UK were on track after an initial report on Fukushima from nuclear chief inspector Mike Weightman ruled out the need to curtail the operation of nuclear power stations in the UK in light of the situation in Japan.
The energy policy statements aim to provide a framework for making planning decisions so projects do not face "unnecessary hold-ups".
They set out the need for billions of pounds of investment in new energy sources, including 33 gigawatts of renewable power - the equivalent of thousands of offshore wind turbines - to meet the UK's future needs.
Energy minister Charles Hendry said: "Around a quarter of the UK's generating capacity is due to close by the end of this decade. We need to replace this with secure, low carbon, affordable energy.
"This will require over £100 billion worth of investment in electricity generation alone.
"This means twice as much investment in energy infrastructure in this decade as was achieved in the last decade.
"Industry needs as much certainty as possible to make such big investments.
"These plans set out our energy need to help guide the planning process, so that if acceptable proposals come forward in appropriate places, they will not face unnecessary hold-ups."
He said the coalition Government was determined to make the UK attractive to investors to ensure that the country had secure, affordable, low-carbon energy.
A GOVERNMENT appointed planning inspector has ruled that an ancient Lake District fell pass is out of bounds for motorised vehicles.
The decision by the Secretary of State to make Garburn Pass, between Troutbeck and Kentmere, a 'restricted byway' follows three years of legal argument.
It means that any motorist or motorcyclist using the pass is committing a criminal offence and could face serious legal consequences.
The inspector went through hundreds of pages of documents ranging from maps of 1822, guide books of the 1880s, and photographs of motorbikes using the pass in the 1920s.
The Lake District National Park Authority has also announced that thanks to around £55,000 of Government funding invested in repairs following the 2009 floods, the pass is probably in better condition than it has been for hundreds of years.
"The storms of November 2009 badly damaged both sides of the pass, especially the western side where the track effectively became a river, and most of the surface ended up on the main road," said National Park Countryside Access Adviser Nick Thorne.
"We were able to obtain significant funding under the Paths for the Public Project, funded by Defra, the Rural Development Programme for England, and Cumbria County Council. And we have now completely rebuilt the worst affected areas in three stages with the work being carried out by our own staff, the National Trust, and a local contractor."

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine whether or not you have an adequate level of apo A-I, especially if you have a low level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and to help determine your risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD)
When to Get Tested?
When you have high cholesterol and triglycerides (hyperlipidemia) and/or a family history of CVD; when your health care provider is trying to assess your risk of developing heart disease; when monitoring the effectiveness of lipid treatment and/or lifestyle changes
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm; blood from the prick of a baby's heel or finger
Test Preparation Needed?
None; however, this test is often ordered at the same time as other tests that require fasting, so you may be instructed to fast for 12 hours prior to having this test.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) is a protein that has a specific role in the metabolism of lipids and is the main protein component in high-density lipoprotein (HDL, the "good cholesterol"). This test measures the amount of apo A-I in the blood.
Apolipoproteins combine with lipids to transport them throughout the bloodstream. Apolipoproteins provide structural integrity to lipoproteins and shield the water-repellent (hydrophobic) lipids at their center.
Most lipoproteins are cholesterol- or triglyceride-rich and carry lipids throughout the body for uptake by cells. HDL, however, is like an empty taxi. It goes out to the tissues and picks up excess cholesterol, then transports it back to the liver. In the liver, the cholesterol is either recycled for future use or excreted into bile. HDL's reverse transport is the only way that cells can get rid of excess cholesterol. It helps protect the arteries and, if there is enough HDL present, it can even reverse the build-up of fatty plaques, deposits resulting from atherosclerosis that can lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Apolipoprotein A is the taxi driver. It activates the enzymes that load cholesterol from the tissues into HDL and allows HDL to be recognized and bound by receptors in the liver at the end of the transport. There are two forms of apolipoprotein A: apo A-I and apo A-II. Apo A-I is found in greater proportion than apo A-II (about 3 to 1). The concentration of apo A-I can be measured directly and tends to rise and fall with HDL levels. Deficiencies in apo A-I correlate with an increased risk of developing CVD.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. As an alternative, particularly in pediatric care, the blood sample is obtained by pricking the heel or fingertip.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed; however, since this test may be performed at the same time as a complete lipid profile, fasting for at least 12 hours may be required.

The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended San Jose Earthquakes Shea Salinas one game and fined him an undisclosed amount for nearly landing an elbow to the head of LA Galaxy forward Robbie Keane during the fifth minute of San Jose's 3-2 victory over LA last Saturday.
The Disciplinary Committee ruled that action endangered Keane's safety despite referee Armando Villarreal awarding a foul on Keane during the run of play . The move seems to be a just one by the Committee as Salinas came close to landing an elbow to Keane's head as the pair jostled for position.
Video of the action is below.
Messi and Friends, we hardly knew ye.
"The Battle of the Stars" featuring "Messi and Friends vs. the Rest of the World," which was a high-profile match that was scheduled to take place on July 3 has been canceled. Rumors of the game's cancelation began on Tuesday, but a press release issued on Tuesday revealed that the event had been canceled.
"After hours of trying to convince Lionel Messi's management team to fulfill their contractual agreement and come to Los Angeles, it is clear they have no respect for these fans and this market," El Padrino Spirits CEO Todd Graham said in a statement. "We feel that this is a blatant attempt to defraud American citizens and businesses that sponsored this event."
You thought that was harsh, well, in the same statement, the Marketing Director of Adriana's Insurance Ines Calderon promised some type of action against Messi's representatives.
"We have no words to express our disappointment and frustration," Calderon stated. "As a brand we invested many hours of work and thousands of dollars but most importantly, we put our name next to the events name, and in front of our community. We regret sponsoring this event and hope that the authorities penalize whoever is responsible of this mess."
All looking for refunds are being asked to contact Ticketmaster.
Soccer By Ives has broken down the entire situation in this report even revealing that Messi had planned to arrive in Los Angeles three hours before the scheduled match time. SBI also noted that not only is the Los Angeles appearance canceled, but a July 6 match in Chicago is also in doubt. Like the L.A. event, SBI reports that players—like Michael Bradley and Carlos Bocanegra—have begun pulling out, leaving the match in jeopardy.
One important thing to remember in all this comedy? There are actual friendlies involving international soccer stars taking place in at an iconic Los Angeles venue later this month.
In the latest edition of view from the booth, Joe Tutino and Cobi Jones break down the LA Galaxy's match against the Columbus Crew
Check it out below...
CARSON, Calif. – Thursday's match against the Columbus Crew will be a special one for Robbie Rogers, who will take on his old team for the very first time.
A mainstay in Columbus from 2007 to 2011, Rogers helped the Crew win the MLS Cup in 2008 and consecutive Supporters' Shields in 2008 and 2009. During that time, Rogers became one of the league's brightest stars as he was named to the MLS Best XI in 2008 and nearly made the U.S. roster for the 2010 World Cup.
Shortly after the 2011 season, Rogers completed a move to Leeds United that set in motion a two-year stint in England that included a brief stop at League One side Stevenage. On Thursday, he'll face his old club as a member of the LA Galaxy after the club acquired his rights from the Chicago Fire in May.
"It should be interesting. I played for so long and, obviously, I never played against them. That will be a little different to be in the other kit," said Rogers who has exchanged texts with several current Crew players and members of the coaching staff. "Playing against Columbus at StubHub Center will be a little strange for me at first, but I'm desperate to get three points, so I don't care who I'm playing against."
As he prepares to take on his old club, Rogers is still trying to find his way with the Galaxy as he has made a total of seven appearances in all competitions and has started the last three regular season matches for LA.
During those three starts, Rogers has become steadily more involved in the Galaxy attack with seven shots in those appearances. Despite his chances, he has yet to score his first goal in an LA uniform, but came maddeningly close during last Saturday's 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes.
"It's annoying. I had some chances in the first half and one in the second half; we created so many chances especially in the end of the game. It's the soccer gods, you got to finish one of those [chances] or they might punish you," said Rogers. "I just need to really be sharp in the final third. Defensively, I feel like I'm doing better. I just need to put one away and it helps the team out."
As he looks to find the back of the net for the first time, Galaxy captain Robbie Keane has already tabbed Rogers for a big week with LA playing their second of three games in eight days.
"I've said it before, it takes four or five games to get completely match fit," said Keane of the midfielder's performance. "I think that this week will help. Playing Sunday, Thursday, and again on Sunday. I think this will be a big week for him."
CARSON, Calif. – A.J. DeLaGarza knows that he could have done better on the play that led to the San Jose Earthquakes' game-winning-goal last Saturday, but that doesn't mean that he was going to take those trying to needle him in jest lying down.
The Earthquakes promoted a GIF image of Marvin Chavez's play that depicts DeLaGarza falling to the ground after to gain position. The play set in motion San Jose's closing goal that ended on the head of forward Alan Gordon to seal a 3-2 victory for the Quakes.
"I can't make an excuse for it. It's not like he crossed me up and did some ridiculous move," said DeLaGarza. "I tripped over trying to back up."
DeLaGarza was quick to reply to the social media challenge with one of his own—posting a photo of his two MLS Cup championship rings and attaching San Jose's official twitter handle. As the rivalry between the two teams continues to become one of the finest in MLS, DeLaGarza admitted that actions like this are simply part of the fun.
"It's just part of it. I wasn't upset. Also, for them to take a jab, I couldn't personally let that happen," said DeLaGarza. "Obviously, people tagged me in it so I found out. I had some other good things to say, but I went with that one."

In the latest edition of MLS Legends, MLSsoccer.com profiles LA Galaxy mainstay Cobi Jones.
One of my earliest soccer memories is watching Jones patrol the midfield during the Rose Bowl days, and this video stirs many of those old memories.
Check out the video below.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy will have a Landon Donovan-sized hole to fill in the midfield during the month of July, but who steps into the role remains to be seen.
One potential option is midfielder Pablo Mastroeni, who was acquired last month in a trade from the Colorado Rapids. A holding midfielder by trade, but he has experience playing at right back and central defense. Central defense is a longshot, but right back and midfield are options for the midfielder.
Should Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena slot him into central midfield, he'd likely move Marcelo Sarvas out wide right, but if he chooses to place Mastroeni at right back then it may allow Sean Franklin to push into midfield, where he spent some time earlier this season.
No matter where he plays, however, Mastroeni just wants to contribute.
"I'm here to be a part of this team. When the time is right, we have so many games. We have international games; my mindset is to contribute when I'm called upon," said Mastroeni. "It's not looking forward to blossoming a new career and a new image. It's to take my experience and the way that I can contribute in any facet that the coaches feel will help the team out."
CARSON, Calif. – Oscar Sorto and Jose Villarreal rejoined the LA Galaxy in training on Monday following the completion of the U.S. campaign at the 2013 U-20 World Cup in Turkey.
Both players returned to California earlier this weekend and promptly returned to training following LA's disappointing 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes last Saturday.
I spoke to both players on their performances at the tournament as well as what it may mean for the future with the LA Galaxy and the U.S. National Team in this piece for LA Galaxy.com.
As far as what the players learned in Turkey, both noted that they became more familiar with the fast-paced international speed of play.
"[The pace of the game] was much faster," admitted Villarreal. "The way that these guys train is at a higher pace than us. It was definitely a learning step for me, so I'll try to include that here."
Villarreal didn't simply touch on his own performance as he impressed with Sorto's showing in his two matches-- despite playing out of position at right midfield for the final game against Ghana.
"He did well," said Villarreal. "He came in as a right mid so it was a lot different for him. Obviously playing against some of the top players in the world at that age was going to be a challenge for him, but I think that he did well. As soon as he changed back to right back, he was a lot more comfortable and showed his ability to play."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy returned to the training field on Monday for their first session following Saturday's stunning 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes.
Just two starters from Saturday's game—Marcelo Sarvas and Juninho—were present during the portion of training open the media. Prior to the training session, the starters broke down the tape of the defeat to the Earthquakes with head coach Bruce Arena, according to Juninho, the conversation wasn't a pleasant one.
"[We made] a couple mistakes in the end, and Bruce [Arena] talked to us about it," said Juninho. "[Arena said] a couple goals we missed in the end of a game like that and this cannot happen again."
Juninho returned to the training field after leaving in the – minute following a heavy challenge from San Jose's Victor Bernárdez. The foul saw Bernárdez pick up a second yellow card as well as an ejection for the play, but Juninho noted that he remembered little from the action.
"I received the ball, turned it over and tried to run [after the ball]. [Bernárdez] came in with a crazy tackle. It hit my ankle again, my ankle is not a 100 percent, but everyone knows that," said Juninho. "I rolled first and then he kicked me. When he hit me, I felt so much hurt. But I'm okay right now."
As for his status for Thursday's match, Juninho expects to be on the field against the Columbus Crew.
"I underwent treatment, so we'll see during the week how I am," said Juninho.
The LA Galaxy fell apart late in the California Clásico against the San Jose Earthquakes, but that was not without a herculean performance by Robbie Keane.
By dropping into midfield, the Galaxy captain played the role of distributor for the Galaxy as he helped create numerous opportunities for his teammates to get in behind the San Jose back four. The Irishman combined with Landon Donovan twice to create LA's two goals on the evening, but his performance could be felt throughout the field.
Let's break it down a bit…
SIX: The number of key passes – passes leading to a scoring opportunity—for Keane on the evening. Two of which ended up in the back of the net. Without a doubt, this is the most important statistic of the evening as Keane was repeatedly able to create chances for his teammates that directly tested the San Jose defense.
TWO: The number of shots for Keane. A bit of a surprising statistic when viewed at face value, but when one breaks down his distributor role, the picture becomes clearer. Keane's first shot of the evening, which came 43rd minute, forced a save from goalkeeper Jon Busch. However, his shot off frame in stoppage time—a play that I break down in my Three Points—may have proved costly as the Earthquakes erased LA's lead minutes later. The number two can also be used to describe his defensive impact as the Irishman made a pair of clearances and interceptions.
77%: The passing percentage for Keane on the evening. Keane completed 27 of his 35 attempts. All but three of those passes took place in the Earthquakes end of the field.
Numbers only tell so much of the story, however. Keane did not wish to speak about his own showing after the defeat, choosing rather to try and light a fire under his teammates with one particular quote toward the end of my sidebar on the match and issue a notice to the victorious Earthquakes.
Much was made about the return of the Earthquakes late game heroics, which was a team staple during their run to the MLS Supporters Shield, but the forward admitted that if it was a repeat of last season, then he'll take that just fine.
"It's fine if they can do that, no problem. If it's a repeat of last year then we'll take that because we beat them in the playoffs and won the championship," said Keane. "So I'll take that over any performance."

As the Northeast braces for its largest winter storm in more than a year, airlines are already employing a strategy that has served them well in recent years: Cancel flights early and keep planes and crews — and passengers — away from snowed-in airports.
By Thursday night, up to 2 feet of snow was forecast along the densely populated Interstate 95 corridor from the New York City area to Boston and beyond. In response, airlines canceled hundreds of flights for Friday, a figure likely to eventually surpass 1,000.
That means emergency planning for Boston's Logan International Airport, the three major airports in the New York Metropolitan area and smaller airports around the region.
Here are some questions and answers about what the airlines are doing:
Q: What are the airlines doing differently?
A: Just a few years ago, a powerful storm dumping two feet of snow on the Northeast would have brought havoc to some of the region's busiest airports. Passengers would sit on a plane for hours, hoping to take off. Families slept on the airport floor with luggage piled up around them. The only meal options came from vending machines.
Now, having learned from storm mismanagement and the bad public relations that followed, U.S. airlines have rewritten their severe weather playbooks. They've learned to cancel flights early and keep the public away from airports, even if that means they'll have a bigger backlog to deal with once conditions improve.
Travelers can still face dayslong delays in getting home, but the advanced cancellations generally mean they get more notice and can wait out the storm at home or a hotel, rather than on a cot at the airport.
Q: Why is it smarter to cancel early?
A: It allows the airlines to tell gate agents, baggage handlers and flight crews to stay home — keeping them fresh once they're needed again.
And by moving planes to airports outside of the storm's path, airlines can protect their equipment and thereby get flight schedules back to normal quickly after a storm passes and airports reopen.
These precautions make good business sense. They also help the airlines comply with government regulations that impose steep fines for leaving passengers stuck on planes for three hours or more. And they reduce the chance of horror-story footage of stranded passengers showing up on the nightly news.
Q: When did airlines change their storm preparations?
A: Things changed almost exactly six years ago. JetBlue was late to cancel flights as a massive snowstorm hammered the East Coast on Valentine's Day weekend in 2007. Passengers were stranded on planes for hours. When the storm finally cleared, other airlines resumed flights but JetBlue's operations were still a mess.
Other airlines took note. Severe weather manuals were updated. Reservation systems were programmed to automatically rebook passengers when flights are canceled. And travelers now receive notifications by email, phone or text message.

This recipe started as a routine trip into the kitchen to fry up a few plain eggs for the standard breakfast. Without even quite knowing how, the accidental discovery of a bunch of asparagus and half a brick of feta cheese that I had meant to use up turned the old over-easy eggs into an elegant and delicious scramble … and at the expense of only an extra five or ten minutes.
Asparagus & Feta Cheese ScrambleOther fast morning ideas you might like:
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 bunch fresh asparagus
1 shallot, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
8 large eggs
1/2 cup feta cheese
sea salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper
Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over just less than medium heat. Meanwhile, snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and chop the spears into 1-inch pieces.
When the butter is foaming, add the asparagus and shallot and stir for 2-3 minutes. Cover the pan and let the asparagus cook until just tender, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the thyme and cover for another minute.
Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the feta cheese. Pour the eggs and cheese into the vegetables and gently trawl through the mixture with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes. Cover the pan and cook until the eggs are set, lifting the lid and stirring occasionally.
Season with sea salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.

Debug logging
BTM ships with SLF4J which is a logging facade much like Apache Commons Logging but it's safe to use in application servers unlike Commons Logging which suffers from complex classloader issues.
Much like Commons Logging, SLF4J can route the log requests to many different implementations including the two most common ones: JDK 1.4 and Log4J.
By default, BTM is shipped with slf4j-jdk14-1.5.2.jar which is the the JSR 047 logging API (aka JDK 1.4 logging) wrapper. If you want to use another logger, simply delete the slf4j-jdk14-1.5.2.jar file and replace it with any one from this list:
- slf4j-jdk14-1.5.2.jar for JSR 047 logging.
- slf4j-log4j12-1.5.2.jar for Apache Log4J 1.2.x.
- slf4j-nop-1.5.2.jar for no logging (logs are silently dropped).
- slf4j-simple-1.5.2.jar for simple
You will also need to put the slf4j-api-1.5.2.jar file in your classpath as well, no matter which one of the above jars you choose.
Those jars come from the 1.5.2 distribution of SLF4J.

Home improvement
Home improvement
Home improvement concerns renovating or making additions to one's personal home. It can be accomplished by professional contractors in skilled trades or with DIY methods. For DIY home improvements, hardware and general home improvement stores usually carry all the necessary tools.
Home improvement has many benefits. It often boosts occupants' enjoyment of a home, and doing simpler home repairs yourself instead of hiring a contractor can save money. Fixing up houses is also typically cheaper than trading up.
The possibilities for home improvement ideas are virtually limitless. MNN has a wide array articles that can provide instruction or inspiration. (Photo: Shutterstock)

Work in Progress
This section I will discuss how builders work and how you can create your own builder. Builders are based on the builder pattern from the GOF design pattern book. It provides a way to build your own DSL and represents a powerful concept in Groovy. Let me start by saying I am not an expert on the subject of Groovy and this is a good thing for the following reasons. I will take you through a step ny step example from anovice point of view. Much of the Groovy documentation is very useful but you have to know a lot to get the most out of the pages. I an starting smae pages to learn more about the power of Groovy and share that undestanding to other novices like me. It is also my hope that this will encourage other novices to take up the challange and write their own pages.
Things you need to know
- Hierarchic structures - XML data in groovy
- Closures
- Method Handlers
- Properties
- Meta ProgrammingLet me also add that here are many examples of creating builders in Groovy, so I will use those examples to keep this presentation short.

Honey Stinger Stinger Waffle - 16 Pack $22.25
Solve your energy-bar problem.
If you've ridden the roads of Belgium, Honey Stinger's Organic Stinger Waffles might remind you of the waffles you'd have inevitably snacked on. But aside from the waffle pattern and round shape, the differences are perhaps greater than the similarities.
Honey Stinger's Waffles are created just for endurance athletes, not merely as a tasty morning snack. And that they're packaged in single serving units makes them easy to carry in your jersey pocket for that moment when you'd like to eat something with a bit of texture. The Stinger Waffles are simultaneously toasty and chewy as you eat them. And unlike bizarre lab-born products, the natural ingredients in the Waffles chew easily and go down quick -- almost too quick. Because they taste so good, you'd like for them to last a bit longer.
Like their other energy foods, the Honey Stinger Waffles rely on honey, nature's energy food, for a majority of the carbohydrate load. The honey is easily digested because it's made of a just-right 1:1 blend of fructose and glucose. It acts quickly to give you a burst of energy and is easy on the stomach. With the waffle, you'll also get carbs from organic wheat and soy flour along with organic cane sugar and rice syrup. Honey Stinger Organic Stinger Waffles are packaged in a box of 16 individually wrapped waffles. They come in Honey, Vanilla, Chocolate, Lemon, and Strawberry flavors and are a great on and off the bike snack.
- Comes as a box of 16 individually wrapped waffles
- Each 30g waffle contains 160 calories
- The sweet and chewy waffle doesn't taste like an 'energy bar,' and you may catch yourself eating them at home
- Not safe for cyclists or runners with allergies to wheat, soy, or eggs

Great for anything
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used these on everything from short morning rides to full 24 hour races. They've kept me going through all of it!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The first thing I want to say is that no matter how much nutritional value something has, if it tastes like cardboard nobody's going to eat it. Does this have nearly as much nutritional effect as some other things I've tried: Nope. But it tastes absolutely fantastic. Therefore, it gets 4/5 stars.
Tyge Johnson
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
First time trying these, taste great! Excellent healthier option than a candy bar up on the slopes or out on a hike. Nice little energy boost without a sugar crash. I've only tried the chocolate but loved them and would try others.
Andrew Brook
Favorite Ski/Bike Snack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Whether its after peddling a couple laps at the 12 hours of Sundance or during a dawn patrol skin up Brighton these are by far my favorite quick bite. I have tried all flavors except the honey and the tastiest(in my professional opinion) is the Strawberry. I love the texture of these and they don't make me crash, or feel bogged down.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Perfect quick snack on the run. I've tried chocolate, strawberry, honey and vanilla and the vanilla is the best by far! I love the texture.
Ryan Gibbs
Maybe I got a bad batch, or maybe its the way they are, but I found these more difficult to stomach than other options. The one I had was incredibly cardboardy, think waffles left out all day, put in a refrigerator, then microwaved (that sort of texture).
I've tried the Lemon and the Strawberry. Preferred the Lemon, but I'd rather have one of the many other Honey Stinger products I actually like. It did give me a boost of energy, so it got the job done.
Good product, but not for me
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I tried one in my kitchen and liked it. But, on the bike they are a little to dry for me and hard to get down. Just a preference thing. Giving 4 stars because it is a good product, just a little dry.
Kevin B.
I go on rides just so I can eat them
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Love these on a long ride. Sometimes I add a some miles just so I can have another one. Great for running and riding. Slip easily into a jersey or pocket. Chocolate is my favorite but I also even the honey and the vanilla.
Steve L
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Every time I get a new box I have to restrain myself from ripping into them all savage-like. Great for skiing and other winter sports as they do not turn into a teeth chipping brick
George E
Great Sack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These things are the perfect side kick for anything in the outdoors. I mainly drag them along hiking or fishing. They are small enough that throwing a couple in your pack is well worth it, even if there's a good chance you wont need them. The Honey is my favorite. I usually love strawberry items, but this strawberry flavor was a little different, I didn't hate it but I've had better. Hands down, if you like Honey flavored items this will become your go to.
Chris Purkey
Referred taste
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Eating these two at a time with some Justin's peanut butter smashed between is the jam of all jams. I recommend you give that a go.
Bryce Galloway
love these
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
these taste really good, and give you the energy to keep going and to finish the race!
Will take it backpacking again!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought the honey flavor and took on a section hike on the AT. It's delicious - reminded me of a sugar waffle cone, but softer. I like that it is compact (packed in my pocket easily)and high cals for the energy. I don't like trail snacks that make me feel "full" so this product was perfect for me.
Mike B
Tasty, Great Texture
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Unlike many bike foods, these have a great mouthfeel and food texture, not unlike real food. The downside is that in a jersey or bag, they can crumble a little. Not a deterrent agains these, though. I believe that it is a welcome relieve to have bike food that is not a gel, goo, gummy or block of bird-food like substance. It is food, so everyone is different. If you and your GI tract likes it, that is super for you.
John Hart
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I preface this review as I do all of my reviews...this is my opinion, not objective fact.
The Stinger Waffle stands above all as my favorite "energy" food! I have tried the Honey, Vanilla and Chocolate and love them all! They are easy to pack in a hydration pack or in a jersey pocket and, especially on a long ride, provide a nice alternative to gels. Obviously, they will not provide the (more) immediate boost a gel does but it is a net push as they taste so much better. Did I mention that they taste great? SO good. I have Belgian and Dutch friends that proclaim these are almost as good as the stroop waffles they find at home. Try them, I expect you will like them!

How To Eat A Honey Stinger Waffle
Sarah D.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Honey Stingers are great! Easy to eat and great flavor. However, they are not very filling. I would reccommend taking a couple on a ride/adventure with you. They also are very easy to break, so it really sticks when half of it falls on the ground when you are trying to eat it. My favorite flavor is strawberry, but really, all the flavors are great.

When you're sick of slurping down gels..
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'll be the first to say it: gels and chews are great! Let's be honest though, there are only so many you can take before even the thought of one makes you feel sick. When that happens, these are an awesome alternative for energy on the go! The waffles are soft and chewy, and they make you feel like you are eating actual food, rather than sugary energy syrup. Small enough to be portable, yet substantial enough to give you that burst of energy you need, these tasty waffles are a great option for a day on the go.
Taste great.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Melt in your mouth goodness, chewing optional. Original honey is my favorite flavor

- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.

evidence-based policy (Score:5, Interesting)
Imagine if any government spending had to be supported by evidence: show where there's a problem, propose a solution, incorporate a followup examination (sunset-like). No one likes Big Government, and mandating evidence-based policy would provide the only rational way to argue for "as big a government as we need". (IMO only nutcases fantasizing about the wild west are truly advocating "as small as possible".)
Think about it: there is a massive tax break for capital gains. Let's abolish it unless someone can set out its purpose (encourage investment), how much it costs (any tax break is a subsidy), and whether it's working (it encourages speculation-based capital appreciation like absurd stock prices, rather than the kind of investment which is productive.) Capital gains is also normally irrelevant to all but the "pretty rich" (let's guess that no one under $100k cares about it...)
Minimum wage is usually presented as humanitarian, dignity-based policy, but that shouldn't exempt it from _working_. is $14k a living wage? I think it largely depends on what you mean by "living" - where, how many people, do they have some form of health care/insurance, any kind of savings/retirement/pension? I guess that $14k isn't enough for a single person to live on, but how do you argue for a higher and/or inflation-adjusted number? We would need to know whether the current policy is working. Obviously, there are jobs that go undone, or go grey-market - does that argue that there should not be a minimum wage at all? Can we predict how wages would change in the absence of a MW? it seems unlikely that, for instance, anyone would start tipping 25% just because MW for servers was eliminated. What if we somehow made it easier for people to relocate to find jobs - would providing support for that make it possible to reduce support for MW? MW, like tax breaks, is a subsidy of low-earning workers by those at the same company who earn more - even if you buy the "dignity" argument, that interpretation is not very appealing...
How about "enforced", for a start? (Score:5, Interesting)[minimum wage manifesto]
Minimum wage in the US has at least two major problems. First, the huge number of exemptions to it - Food service, agricultural, salaried employees, and so on. These need to vanish, ASAP. No more of this "tipping" BS (and I don't say that as a cheapskate, I tip damned well - I'd just rather see people get paid enough not to need it). No more "piecework" to get around minimum wage laws. Not more unpaid overtime. You work, you get paid at least 7.25 per hour for it or your employer goes to fucking jail.
Second, we also need a maximum wage to go along with it. And don't think I count as one of those "hate the rich" types - I'd accept something still pretty obscene, like 100x the minimum wage - A "mere" 1.5M per year. Can't live on that? Cry me a river and move aside for someone who will appreciate a higher standard of living than most historical kings and emperors enjoyed.
I would also add a 2.5th need - We need, perhaps more even than the first two, a maximum number of hours. We need to make it absolutely unwaveringly illegal to have an employee work more than 40 hours (and I'd actually prefer we make it less than that - I've always thought we should get Wednesdays off, nothing good happens on Wednesday), no exceptions. If you can't get all the work you have done in 40 hours, you need to hire someone else, period. We have a society of people living shorter than our grandparents, partly because of how we eat but partly because we literally work ourselves to death. This amounts to a public health crisis, not just a way to save a few bucks by deliberately understaffing and expecting people to pick up the slack.

Oh, and I want a pony, too.
"Surely, we'll get some crackheads that at least want a $1/hour."
This doesn't work because many people will cease to shop where crackheads are running the store... thus actually reducing profits. Hiring good labor at the right price is key to bringing in money.

I used to think that. Actually, no. Authorities in areas with high populations of illegal immigrants don't actually pursue them with any vigor. Partly this is because the police force is often made up of relatives of illegal immigrants (or people who are children of illegal immigrants). Areas like the central valley of California have enormous populations of illegal immigrants. They hang out in well known areas looking for work, or do a variety of other things which make it clear they are illegal, but are hardly ever threatened by authorities (unless they do something else dangerous to society, like smoking mj, or speeding).
In my opinion illegal immigrants, and people who abuse employees illegally, get away with it because those crimes require detective work to uncover. You can bring strong evidence of crimes before police and, unless those crimes are part of a very small set which police are comfortable pursuing (because they are easy to pursue) or you somehow have political clout, the police will do absolutely nothing about it.

"Free market capitalism," even if it existed somewhere, eventually changes to the kind of state capitalism the large governments of the world are moving to.
Undiscussed by the Randians, Freidmans, et. al. are the existence of parasites at every economic level. At the bottom is the unproductive welfare queen. At the top is the financial specialist focusing on synthetic hedge funds. Both are essentially parasites who create no productive activity, but merely live off of the productive activity of others. Once the parasites are successful enough, they move on to the most productive host of all, the world's governments, whose legislature and productive output are then more efficiently directed towards themselves.
Compared to the large scale parasites, minimum wage workers getting a small pay hike are trivial. A distraction. They are, at least, providing a productive service.
You either get rid of the parasites, or eventually they kill the hosts. Welfare queens were a minor nuisance, easily controlled. Vampires squids, however, still suck happily.

The whole concept of welfare queens is debatable and is mired in a lot of coded racism, much of the time, but even if you accept it as fact, the difference between a welfare queen and your financier is that the welfare queen is spending money on actual goods and services like food and tvs and what not, but the financier pours most of their money back into financial products, which doesn't create a lot of benefit to anyone else.
Slavery never stopped to exist. In practice is still in use, just under different names.
I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Its a nice place overall, but rent and food are expensive generally speaking.
Someone did a survey recently that was reported in the local paper, it determined that in order to live what most people would consider an acceptable lifestyle you need to make $15/hr here. Minimum wage is $8.25 at the moment.
Most of the young, employed people that I meet are living in groups in apartments (say a 2 bedroom apartment with 6 people in it). I expect their lifestyle is below the par the article mentioned.
My wife and I have had our income drop by roughly 45% over the last 6 years, while our rent has gone from $975 to $1100 for the same apartment. Now, I make better than minimum wage (although not a lot more) but most of the young folks I see are making minimum, and are forced to work 2 jobs just to survive. Of course most employers do not work people full time so they can pay less benefits, so a lot of those people are working 2 or 3 part time jobs instead of 1 full time.

Pal, I got news for you. You're a thinking person and therefore you understand that you need good people in your business. Probably you're not a college graduate...
Some years ago, I was tasked to run three boutiques owned by five people, one of them had a Master's degree in Economics from the University of Chicago, another was an industrial engineer from Georgia Tech, you get the idea, all highly educated people.
The three stores were basically paying the rent and showing a very small profit and the situation hadn't changed for some five, six years. The first year I was in charge, I got profits up by 70% (not sales, profits); the second year, profit was up 30%.
Then they got together and looked at how much the salespeople were making and decided that my compensation plan was too expensive. Salespeople were making too much money, so they cut the commissions.
I was fired over my loud opposition to their plan. Within the year they had closed one store, and had reduced the floor space on the other two. Right now, they are looking for a buyer for their entire company...
Imagine going to the University of Chicago for a masters degree and not being able to read a P/L. What the fuck do you care how much is the salespeople commission when, after years of not making a profit, you are getting one? Such smart people, kill the golden goose so you can get all the eggs, right now!

Whidbey Island: A day-trip how to
It's an easy trip with plenty of adventures along the way
A bald eagle perches on top of a piece of driftwood east of the Keystone ferry landing on Whidbey Island.

Two gulls rest on a piece of driftwood at Ebey's Landing.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Winding Hill Road south of Coupeville offers great views.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Coupeville's waterfront bakery, Knead and Feed, is a cozy coffee and treat stop.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
The Oystercatcher Restaurant in Coupeville features seasonal seafood.
Glazed cinnamon rolls at Knead and Feed invite a coffee break.
The Star Store in Langley has a little bit of everything.
With waterfront views, specialty shopping, good food and outdoor adventures all along one easy route, it can be a lot of fun without a lot of effort.
Just take the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry and head north on Highway 525.
It's the slow season in Langley, but you wouldn't know it inside Mo's Pub and Eatery.
Despite Mo's motto -- it's a "place to drink and throw sharp objects" -- there's something for families too. Sip a single-malt scotch and play darts in the bar or sit fireside in the eatery and chow down on some Irish-style fare.
Wherever you decide to sit, be sure to try the fish and chips: crisp nuggets of cod fried in a Guinness beer batter and served with the pub's special fries. There's a bottle of malt vinegar at every table to add a little extra flavor to your fish. It's reasonably priced at $10.99 and goes great with the ginger ale on tap.
Then make your way down the street to The Star Store, a grocery and mercantile with a little bit of everything. Browse the clothing departments, fine wines, kitchen and cooking supplies, toys, Whidbey Island products and other hidden gems.
It's a local destination for shoes, anything cocktail and the inflatable moose heads ($26.95) they've been selling for 28 years.
Stroll along Coupeville's mainline, Front Street, with its mix of shops: bakeries, antiques dealers, art galleries, bookstores and wine bars.
Here are a few stop-worthy shops to note:
Knead and Feed is a cool place to grab a cup of steaming coffee or tea and make the winter wind a little more bearable. They have great baked goods, too. Try a walnut caramel roll, a Marionberry bear claw or a slice of pie.
The Penn Cove Art Gallery is just a few doors down. It's a cooperative gallery with works from more than 20 local artists, such as custom furniture, prints, paintings, wood carvings, photography and stained glass.
Take a walk on the Coupeville Wharf and Warehouse before you head back to the car.
Then bundle up for hike at Ebey's Landing.
It's perfect for a slow, wintertime stroll with views of snowcapped mountains, rolling praries, sheer bluffs and miles of sea.
The full hike is 5.6 miles round trip, but you can take shorter trails if you have little ones along. The park service has a junior ranger program that gives kids a chance to learn about Coupeville history and earn a badge by completing an online activity book.
Deception Pass
The scenic 4,134-acre park has hiking trails through old-growth forests, three lakes and more than 14 miles of saltwater shoreline.
Take a walk, picnic on the beach or admire the views on the drive across Deception Pass Bridge.
You'll need a Discover Pass to park. It's $10 daily or $30 annually at www.discoverpass.wa.gov.
Getting back: You won't need to buy round-trip ferry tickets for this outing.
Just cross the bridge and continue on Highway 20 for about 15 miles, bear right and take southbound 1-5 all the way home.

Picking up where the last film left off, Nell Sweetzer (Ashley Bell) is found alone and terrified in the woods of Louisiana. When she returns to the relative safety of New Orleans, she finds that she can't remember large portions of the previous months... only that she's the last surviving member of her family. As Nell begins the difficult process of starting a new life, the evil force that once possessed her is back with other, unimaginably horrific plans that make one thing clear: her last exorcism was just the beginning.

The Night Owl
Not a lot happened today/tonight in the BB house. The feeds were down for about 5 hours during the veto competition. When they returned we found out that Kaitlin had won the veto. She tried to talk to Helen about the idea of putting Howard up on the block instead of Jeremy when she comes off, but Helen said that the house would not be okay with that. She said the house wanted Jeremy out, but that they would understand if Kaitlin didn't want to vote against him and that she could throw a vote to Spencer.
Helen did a lot of crying and acted as if her heart was absolutely broken over having to put Jeremy up. She promised Kaitlin (just like everyone else she has talked to so far) that she would take her far in the game and that she and Andy were going to protect her and keep her around.
Andy and Helen held court in the HOH room for a few hours with various groups coming in and out while they all talked about what horrible game players the already evicted HGs were. Andy in particular was very vocal about how terrible Nick was at the game and how awful the Moving Company was etc.. He and Helen went on and on as if having an alliance is a crime. I guess they are the only ones allowed to have alliances. The fact that Andy is in about 5 alliances at this point seems to matter very little to him.
Outside of that almost everything was really dull. GinaMarie decided to go racist again saying Candice should "go back to Africa" and "too bad they don't have any nail technician Asians in the house". She then went inside and cried some more about Nick...while still wearing his hat. Andy, Aaryn, Jeremy, Amanda, and McCrae at different times of the night all mentioned that they can't be around GinaMarie anymore because all she ever talks about is Nick and it's driving them crazy.
An incredibly unnecessary amount of time was dedicated to Kaitlin and Jeremy making out. I mean hours upon hours upon hours. Jeremy knows he is going home on Thursday so there really isn't any drama or questions or anything going on there this week.
Candice and Howard spent a lot of time together getting closer. They game talked a little and Howard told Candice he thinks Helen has made too many promises since she has promised pretty much everyone to keep them safe, but she cannot win HOH next week.
Amanda got a good case of paranoia and spent a good portion of the night telling McCrae and Andy that she is sure that Howard has a deal with Elissa and that's why Elissa did not nominate him even though she told her to. She, Andy, and McCrae talked about it for a while, but they kept getting called out for production talk so the feeds kept cutting, and eventually people started mentioning penalty noms.
The most interesting thing that happened tonight in my opinion was Judd's slop breakdown. He is on day 2 and already losing it. He went on a very intense rant about how much guacamole sucks, and said he takes back his "thank you" to America for the food because he can't eat grapefruit and guacamole is useless without chips. A little later in the night Judd also talked to Spencer and Andy about how he feels like they need to start going after some of the girls because pretty soon there won't be enough guys to combat all the women in the house. I agree with him. The last thing I want to be stuck watching is The Mom Squad alliance or GinaMarie and Aaryn sitting around talking shit about everyone.
I'm sorry there isn't more to report tonight. There was lots of Andy talk talk talking, and Helen crying and talking about "evil people" in the house, but that's nothing new since it happens pretty much every second of the day. Hopefully something more interesting will happen in the next 24 hours and I will have something new to report. As always you can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight updates. Until tomorrow night...
