By Alabama Public Radio
Birmingham, AL – The latest survey from Triple-A Alabama says gas prices continue to drop statewide. Prices have dropped almost a penny just since Monday's posted results, and gas prices have been moving downward after peaking two weeks ago. The average price for regular is about a dollar-90 per gallon. Midgrade gasoline is selling for about two-dollars-and-three cents, and premium grades are averaging two-dollars-and-nine cents. Triple-A's survey shows Birmingham has the cheapest prices at a dollar-87 per gallon of regular. Mobile has the highest prices at a dollar-94.

Data Reservation is the new feature added in TM1 9.5.2 and onwards. Data Reservation (DR) is used to reserve regions of a cube by a particular user. Once reserved, a region can only be modified by that user. So it is often necessary to know which users have data reservations on which cubes. This article describes a method to create a cube listing all the data reservations on all available cubes in a TM1 server.
Creating a Summary Cube Using TurboIntegrator
You can build a cube called "DRsummary" using a TurboIntegrator. All you need to do is create a TurboIntegrator process and run it. This process will create the DRsummary cube listing all the data reservations made by users in a TM1 server.
Dimensions of the DRsummary Cube
There are only two dimensions present in the DRsummary cube. You don't need to create them manually. This cube uses Control Object dimensions which are already present in every TM1 server. These dimensions are viewable in TM1 Architect by navigating to the View option on the Main Menu and selecting Display Control Objects. The two dimensions are:
- }Clients
- }Cubes
Illustration 1 shows the elements within the Control Object dimensions for the Planning Sample TM1 Server. The image shows two TM1 Architect Subset Editors open side-by-side listing the dimension items in these two Control Object dimensions.
Illustration 1: This image shows the Control Object dimensions }Clients and }Cubes
Creating the TurboIntegrator Process
To create the TurboIntegrator process follow the procedure listed below.
- Create a TurboIntegrator process with a Datasource Type of None.
- Copy and paste the following code into the Prolog procedure of the process.
#****Begin: Generated Statements*** #****End: Generated Statements**** #If DRsummary cube already exist delete it. IF(CubeExists('DRsummary') = 1); CubeDestroy('DRsummary'); ENDIF; CubeCreate('DRsummary','}Clients','}Cubes'); #Getting no. of elements present in }clients and }cubes dimension no_user = DIMSIZ('}clients'); no_cubes = DIMSIZ('}Cubes'); cube_counter = 1; user_counter = 1; vIndex = 1; vDelim = '|'; WHILE(user_counter <= no_user); user=DIMNM('}Clients',user_counter); cube_counter = 1; WHILE(cube_counter <= no_cubes); #If it is a control cube then it is skipped cube_name = DIMNM('}Cubes',cube_counter); var1 = scan('}',cube_name); if(var1<>1); vAddress = CubeDataReservationGet(vIndex,cube_name,user,'|'); CellPutS(vAddress,'DRsummary',user,cube_name); endif; cube_counter= cube_counter + 1; END; user_counter = user_counter +1; END;
DRsummary Cube Build Results
After executing this process you are presented with a list of cubes on the TM1 Server (columns) and the TM1 Server users (rows). Each cube that is reserved will be displayed with an entry showing a timestamp when the reservation occurred and the region of the reservation (if applicable) in a new cube called DRsummary.
Illustration 2 shows the resulting Drsummary cube, the rows list the TM1 users and the columns list the application cube names. If there is a value in an intersecting cell then then that means there is a data reservation currently applied to that cube by the user in that row. The cell entry also contains a Time Stamp when the data reservation was applied, along with the data range of the reservation.
Illustration 2: This image shows the resulting Drsummary cube which displays all the current data reservations on a TM1 Server

That would be up to your Post Commander. It isn't a "federal holiday" so they are not mandated to give you the day off or the day after. Your DH should be able to tell you if he has a 3 day or 4 day this weekend.

3.0 out of 5 stars The heavenly totality of Asa Vadya's eyes,
Curt Surly (Bellingham, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This is certainly a minor stylistic masterpiece. It creates atmosphere that is thick, foreboding, and claustrophobic. The story, however, is not worthy of such a lush, lavish treatment. It just doesn't possess any emotional depth. The whole film is Barbara Steele's eyes. They possess power that the film as a whole simply does not. The fog the film is enveloped in is not pervasive enough to mask the bitter emptiness of the tale being conveyed. It is difficult to criticize the film on its cinematic qualities. Nevertheless, the story does not mesmerize, tantalize or excite beyond those moments when Asa is moaning in her blood ecstasy. Indeed, my grandest (futile) wish was for Asa to slaughter them all and then to hit the road looking for more victims to prey upon.
Barbara Steele weeps, shrieks, sighs, faints, screams, moans, gasps, and is undeniably fascinating to watch. She is far more interesting as Asa. As Katia, she is a cipher. She's drained of life and hysterical to boot. Asa has activated her will (if the undead can even be said to possess a will--the will of Satan?). Katia is receptive, helpless and boring. She's just a lonely princess longing for her prince (yawn). It isn't Ms. Steele's fault--the character is simply dismal. She's the "good" girl--she doesn't have to do anything, except mope about in a perfectly awful hairdo. The rest of the cast are perfectly plastic--save for Arturo Dominici as Javutich. He's a fine match for Ms. Steele and wondefully terrible. He has presence that the others lack.
Still, the film is simply gorgeous. The story might not be my glass of Absinthe, but the film is still visually stunning. It lacks emotion and depth--but it makes up for it somewhat in the sheer power of its images. Obvious films that clearly map out the binary opposites at play are just not that intriguing. When you know from the start that virtue will win and evil will be destroyed, it kind of takes the thrill out of the whole thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRAVO BAVA AND STEELE,
Michael Butts (Berkeley Springs, WV USA) - See all my reviews
If you are a true horror connoseur of great horror films, BLACK SUNDAY or THE MASK OF SATAN, belongs in your repertoire of those films which defined what "horror" movies should be about.
Mario Bava's first film is full of eloquent imagery, darkly atmospheric sets and lighting, and an almost palpable sense of doom. Barbara Steele, who went on with Hazel Court, to be the true scream queens of the sixties, is perfect in the dual role of the witch and her descendant; Bava knew that Steele's beauty is not of the usual kind and he used his lens to soften some of her harshness, but yet to ignite those gorgeous eyes. Steele also knew how to handle the camera, how to peer not only into the eyes of her fellow actors, but into your eyes as well.
John Richardson's boyish handsomeness is a perfect contrast to Steele's dark beauty. (Only complaint about DVD is the obvious dubbing, with "radio dj" voices that at times lessened the impact of the movie). The silent stagecoach ride is as many readers have commented one of the eeriest scenes captured on celluloid.
This is a frightening movie, way ahead of its time, and maintains a crude brilliance that is still penetrating today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bava Lives!,
Daniel Kepley (Viola, DE USA) - See all my reviews
BLACK SUNDAY (aka THE MASK OF SATAN) marks the directorial debut of prolific horror director Mario Bava, and what a debut! The story, a Gothic masterpiece about vampirism being an extension of Satan worship, is quite interesting. Barbara Steel, the first horror starlet, or scream queen, is amazingly beautiful and quite good as the evil Princess Asa, who curses her family after being condemned as a witch, and Princess Katia, her ancestor. A chairjumper every five minutes! It lulls you asleep and then slaps you awake with the next scary moment. True suspense is being built up as the plot goes along nice and slow (even under an hour and a half!) The whole film is gorgeous and really showed me that a black-and-white movie can be just as scary and cringe-inducing as one in bright color.
Yes, Mario Bava is the founding father of Italian horror as we know it! Not only is he a great director, but he is an excellent cameraman and special effects artist, just to name a few other things he did in his movies. Thanks to Bava, we have masterpieces from other great directors as Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA, DEEP RED, TENEBRE, INFERNO), Lucio Fulci (DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING, ZOMBIE, THE BEYOND), and even Mario's own son Lamberto (MACABRE, A BLADE IN THE DARK, DEMONS 1 & 2). Hell, even the Bavas helped Argento on occasion (Mario directed that awesome underwater sequence in INFERNO, and Lamberto was assistant director on that and TENEBRE). So remember, when you think about how awesome Italian horror movies were back in the day and all the masterpieces that came out of that country, remember Mario Bava. And watch BLACK SUNDAY and all of his other movies!
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Brilliant Bava,
Jeffrey Leach (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews
Italian director Mario Bava exploded onto the horror scene with the wonderful black and white film "Black Sunday," also known as "The Mask of Satan" (a title I prefer because it does such a better job describing the movie). This picture borrows heavily from a Nikolai Gogol short story called "The Vij," and while I am not familiar with the story, the movie succeeds fantastically at conveying a bleak atmosphere of horror. "The Mask of Satan" was Bava's official directorial debut, giving viewers a chance to see the genius that was to come from this excellent filmmaker. Bava didn't merely direct films, however. He also worked on all aspects of movie making during his long career. The director even helped his son cut his teeth in the business immediately before his death in 1980. Fans will miss Bava terribly after viewing just a few of his films, as he was one of those rare Italian horror directors who could truly deliver the goods.
"Black Sunday," set in Romania, opens at an unspecified date in the seventeenth century. Some of the local nobles decide to get together and roast a couple of Satan's followers, but this barbecue bears a special meaning for the House of Vajda because one of its own is on the spit. The beautiful Princess Asa Vajda fell under the evil spell of the dark one, along with her unseemly lover Javutich, and both now face a painful execution. In order to insure that these two sullied creatures wear the mark of their crimes, Asa's own brother orders a metal mask of Satan nailed to their faces. Unfortunately for the Vajda family, Asa casts a curse on the family immediately before her execution, promising to come back from the dead and plague her relatives throughout the centuries. After carrying out this sordid task, the people present attempt to burn the corpses, but a rainstorm conveniently whips up and prevents the destruction of the bodies of these two satanic worshippers. In order to rid themselves of the bodies, the House of Vajda orders Asa interred in the family crypt with a few conditions: a glass pane and a cross must be placed on the sarcophagus in order to keep Asa firmly in her coffin. Javutich's corpse doesn't fare as well; his body ends up in a grave in the cemetery. All's well that end's well after this incident, as Asa and Javutich waste away the centuries in their tombs.
Flash forward two hundred years. Two doctors traveling to a medical conference stumble upon the decaying Vajda crypt. In a fit of scientific defiance to peasant tradition, one of the doctors named Kruvajan bumbles around Asa's coffin and causes some damage to it. From this point on, Bava takes his viewers on a roller coaster ride of creepy imagery, walking corpses, vampiric transformations, and oppressive atmosphere rarely seen in even the best of horror films. As the horror of "The Mask of Satan" unfolds, we meet the various characters who will play witness to the resuscitated curse on the House of Vajda: Doctor Gorobec, the young, heroic companion of Kruvajan destined to save the day; Katia Vajda, the present princess of Vajda; and her fearful father and brother. Katia's father knows about the curse of Asa, and he spends a significant portion of his time worrying about it. Moreover, several people remark on the amazing resemblance between Asa and Katia Vajda as seen in an old portrait of the Satan worshipping princess. Does this similarity have anything to do with the Asa's seemingly renewed deathbed curse? Probably, and the fun comes from watching it unfold through Bava's masterful use of cinematography, sets, atmosphere, sound effects, and gruesome special effects.
That Universal horror films influenced "The Mask of Satan" is so obvious it really doesn't need mentioning in the editorial review on this site. Throughout the movie, I continually recognized these similarities. Perhaps the surprising revelation here is that Bava's film is markedly better than many of the influences he supposedly borrowed from. Check out the coach moving through the forest in complete silence, or the trip Javutich and the doctor take through the castle. These are superb effects accomplished without the benefit of CGI or fancy prosthetics. Additionally, every movement of each character seems choreographed for maximum creepy effect. I kept wondering how Bava managed to get his actors to move so SLOWLY while making it look so natural. Special mention goes to the eerily effective Barbara Steele, the actress who plays both Asa and Katia. I wouldn't go as far as a few horror fans and say that this woman is drop dead gorgeous, but she is pretty and the make-up effects used on her face give her a ultra creepy appearance when she is playing Asa. I could go on and on about the things I liked in this movie. Everything works masterfully, giving "The Mask of Satan" a classic feel right from the start.
The DVD version of the film I watched carries a "Special Edition" label, meaning that you get a Mario Bava biography and filmography, a trailer, a photo and poster gallery, and a commentary by Bava historian Tim Lucas. The package claims this is the uncut version of the film, always a good thing when you decide to watch a horror movie. Mario Bava went on to make a slew of films in a wide range of genres, but so far "The Mask of Satan" has been my most satisfying experience with this director. With Halloween right around the corner, this film would nicely fit the bill for a home horror movie marathon.

By A Customer
Black Sunday(The Mask of Satan) has all the elements of a great horror film. Good story, pacing, simple, but extremely effective special effects, gorgeous black and white photography and Barbara Steele. I saw the showing here in the cut, Les Baxter score, etc. etc. version which was great, I must admit, but seeing the uncut version was not so much an eyeopener as finally seeing a wonderful scarefest the way it should of been seen many years ago. If only current "horror" filmmakers could learn how to make a good horror film like Bava, then life would be "GOOD". It's not MONEY, expensive special effects, big names, or color, but IMAGINATION, a good sense of film composition and a sense of what makes a good story that count. Cut the budgets for some of these films like the remake of "The Haunting", all the Freddy-Jason films and make the directors use their brains and creative imagination and we might have some decent films to talk about 25 years from now. Black Sunday stands the test of time.
5.0 out of 5 stars BAVA - HAMMER : 1 - 0,
Daniel S. "Daniel" (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
At least, one scene of italian director Mario Bava's BLACK SUNDAY will haunt your memory for a long time : Javutich, played by a sepulchral Arturo Dominici, kidnaps a doctor and drives him to the castle's chapel in a diligence. The hellish trip is partly filmed in slow-motion without any sound. Astounding ! and a great homage to the german director F.-W. Murnau who shot the same scene in 1922 for his NOSFERATU but in a slightly different manner.
In 1961, the British Hammer Films reigned over the horror movies genre and the audience was accustomed to the Gothic made in England. So let's appreciate Bava's courage ; with a screenplay vaguely inspired by a story of Nicola� Gogol, he was aiming at the same goal than Terence Fisher & Co. : frighten the audience !
In my opinion, Mario Bava is clearly the winner of this cinematographical battle. BLACK SUNDAY is the masterpiece of this director and deserves to stay in any curious movie lover's secret library.
An excellent copy and edifying bonus features will complete your pleasure.
A DVD dedicated to Tim Burton.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece Of Horror,
Michael King "Mike" (Taunton, MA United States) - See all my reviews
"Black Sunday" is a beautifully filmed horror movie, filled with stunning visual images. The movie successfully combined the gothic sets and black and white cinematography featured in the Universal horror films, with the then current Hammer movie elements of gore, sadism and sex. This DVD version is the unedited, English-dubbed, import version. While the dubbed voices take some getting used to, getting to see all of the scenes in their entirety more than makes up for that. Many scenes stand out in particular. A spiked mask of Satan is nailed into the witch's face, causing blood to gush out and drip down her neck. 200 years later, the glass cover of the witch's stone coffin is accidentally broken. Scorpions crawl out of her eye sockets. A few drops of blood from the broken glass drip down on her face, causing her eyeballs to reappear as she is brought back to life. The witch's stone coffin explodes as she regains her powers. She summons her lover, who was executed with her 200 years before, to rise from the dead. He claws his way out of his grave in a scary scene. Later, we see the zombie driving a ghostly carriage. At first, the coach approaches silently in slow motion. After he picks up his passenger, the zombie whips the horses into a frenzy, a maniacal look on his weathered face. This movie made an international star of Barbara Steele, who played both the evil witch and her virginal descendant. It also launched the career of director Mario Bava, who went on to direct several fine films. "Black Sunday" is a classic film that serves as the perfect link between the stylish horror movies that preceded it, and the graphic horror films that were to follow.
4.0 out of 5 stars Bava made is directorial bones on this great movie.,
Troy M. Ros "rastacat1" (Northfield, MN) - See all my reviews
This movie represented an international breakthrough for famed Italian director and cinematographer Mario Bava. Before this movie came out he was well known in Italy and in professional circles, but not in the rest of Europe or America. It also marked the international breakthrough for British actress Barbara Steele. Black Sunday (aka La Maschera del demonio). And this movie has everything: A mean and cruel witch; vampires; zombies; gothic setting; beautiful star....
Black Sunday begins with Princess Asa Vajda (Barbara Steele) and her brother Prince Vajda (Ivo Garrani), being accused of witchcraft and then having a mask with spikes in it nailed to their face. The witchcraft accusations were true and of course centuries later they come back with a vengeance. A distant descendant, Katia Vajda (also played by Barbara Steele), becomes possessed by the witch Asa who is working on taking over her body permanently. Her brother is also brought back to life from the grave and he wanders around murdering those who would stand in the way of Asa's triumphant return. As usual, I don't like to spoil too much of the movie so I will leave it at this.
The brief scene where the mask is pounded onto Asa's face has no gore, but is gruesome nonetheless. The scene was cut from most theatrical versions of the film and has recently been reintegrated for the wonderful dvd release from Image Entertainment.
Mario knew he wanted Barbara Steele for the lead role in his directorial debut and he flew her from England to Italy for the part. This film ended up making her a star in Italy and the rest of the world and she made several more movies in Italy including Fellini's 8 1/2. Lots has been written about the film and it has acquired quite a cult status among horror and film aficionados.
The Image Entertainment release includes a full commentary by horror film historian Tim Lucas, theatrical trailers, liner notes and a photo gallery. The print is a gorgeous 1.66:1 transfer and the sound is in Dolby Digital 2.0 mono.
Many consider this one of the finest horror films of all time and some consider it one of the finest films of any genre of all time. For myself, I am very glad I own the dvd. After my second viewing of the movie recently I like it even more and I am certain I will watch this movie many times in the coming years. It retails for $ and is worth every penny. And if you can find it cheaper, all the better.
4.0 out of 5 stars Mario Bava's masterpiece--a prerequisite for horror buffs,
Daniel J. Hamlow (Narita, Japan) - See all my reviews
"In the 17th century, Satan was abroad on the Earth and great was the wrath against those monstrous beasts thirsty for human blood that traditions have given the name of vampires."
Such is the opening narration of the Masks of Satan, or Black Sunday. Princess Asa is burned by the inquisition of the High Court of Moldavia, who have also executed her partner-in-crime, Igor Javutic. She curses the House of Vajda, and her face affixed with the mask of satan, a facial iron maiden. There is an effective closeup of her frightened face before the masked executioner slams a heavy wooden sledge onto the satanic mask! Ouch, that's really gotta hurt! She would've been burned at the stake and that would be the end of it, had it not been for a thunderstorm. Instead, she is interred in her crypt and Javutic buried in unconsecrated ground.
Two centuries pass, say sometime in the 1840's. I say that due to the coachman's remark of having fought Napoleon's army, and estimating his age. Asa is accidentally awakened by Dr. Kruvayan, the older of two Russian doctors en route to a medical conference. Soon after, a slew of deaths involving anyone connected with the House of Vajda occur, and Princess Katya, who is a dead ringer for Asa, seems to be the prime target. She is helped by Andrei Gorobek, Kruvayan's younger colleague, who has taken a shine to her, and vows to get to the bottom of things ("We're in the presence of some unnatural mystery.")
Barbara Steele is brilliant here as the gentle but frightened Katya, and as the strong and evil Asa, scoring better in the latter role, with lines such as "Don't you feel joy in the beauty of hating?" and "Come kiss me, my lips will transform you." The scars on her face from the mask are explicit for 1960.
As for Igor Javutic, the painting of him resembles a painting of Vlad the Impaler I've seen in a book on Dracula, and Arturo Dominici is perfect realized as a live incarnation of said painting.
Horror is not just madmen slashing away at nubile young women, but the tense atmosphere created by the dark forces at work. The resurrection of Javutic is just one example. And the scene where the Prince of Vajda notices the change in the painting and sees the mask appear in his hot toddy is accompanied by dramatic music, most of which is chilling. However, in scenes between Andrei and Katya, some romantic Rachmaninoff-sounding piano comes on cue.
Black Sunday really set the stage for effective horror films. It's full of scary effects: eerie wind blowing, a thunderstorm with lightning, invisible forces at work, secret passages, vampires with claws, and realistic corpses. And its being shot in black-and-white gives a boost to the cinematography and lighting.
5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Goth Guignol,
Bruce Rux (Aurora, CO) - See all my reviews
The incredibly photogenic original Goth queen, Barbara Steele, couldn't have asked for a better film debut than this atmospheric black-and-white classic by famed director Mario Bava. She gets to play both the innocent and beautiful ingenue Katya, and Katya's evil twin ancestor, the diabolical witch, Asa.
Steele's performance is half the reason to watch this conventional black magic/ghost/vampire tale, the other half being Bava's cinematography and skillful direction. This is an especially violent film, opening on the execution of Asa and her evil manservant, Javuto, by the nailing of spiked devil masks to their faces (the original title of the film was Mask of Satan). The visuals in this, and all other, scenes in the film are archetypally perfect. The actual framing and composition of each shot is beautifully done, throughout. The scenery is lush, the makeups unsettling - especially the resurrected Asa, with the holes in her face from the mask - and many of the effects are equally disturbing, especially one in which Asa's naked ribcage is exposed.
European horror cinema of the 1960s was the best the genre ever produced, and this was one of its premiere features. Highly recommended not only for horror fans, but for serious film students as well.

2008/09 predictions
The Skysports.com team give their views on who is going to sparkle and who will flop this season.
Last Updated: 13/08/08 9:16am
The Skysports.com team have been putting their collective heads on the block ahead of the 2008/09 season to predict who they think is going to light up the Premier League campaign and who is going to have a dim old time of things.
Last season's crystal ball gazing provided a mixture of Mystic Meg accuracy and the misguided forecasting of a £1-a-pop psychic on Blackpool front.
Peter O'Rourke deserves credit for picking out that Roque Santa Cruz would be the buy of the season, but Alex Dunn is still smarting from tipping Fernando Torres to be the biggest flop - you'd think for £20-odd million, you'd get more than 33 goals!
So, without further ado, here are skysports.com's predictions for you to deride at your leisure. Feel free to add your comments at the foot of the article.
Mark Buckingham
Title winner:Manchester United may not have strengthened the squad over the summer, but the younger members of the team have an extra year's experience on their backs and they remain the team to beat.
Going down:It would be easy to say the three promoted clubs will go straight back down, but having tipped Wigan to be relegated last season, I'm not going to desert them now! Stoke City and West Brom to join the Latics in the Championship.
Coming up:Where's my pin? Birmingham City look to have good strength in depth, while Coventry City and Queens Park Rangers can end their exile from the big time.
Best buy:There don't seem to have been too many bargains floating around the Premier League this summer, but I think Giovani Dos Santos has the potential to sparkle at Spurs
Biggest flop:A rash of £15million-plus signings means there are a few contenders for this category, but the biggest gamble is Manchester City's recruitment of Jo. He may just turn out to be the next Fernando Torres, though!
Player of Year:Carlos Tevez. The Argentinian impressed during his first season at Manchester United and looks certain to have further improvement in him.
Youngster to watch:Fraizer Campbell impressed on loan at Hull last season and if he is given a chance in the United side he has the ability to score goals.
Top scorer:With Peter Crouch alongside him, Jermain Defoe should get plenty of opportunities and it is not hard to see him rattling in at least 20 goals this season.
Fantasy League must have:With three points for an assist, Cesc Fabregas must be worth having in your team. He rarely has a bad game and if he starts to score goals then he should rack up the points.
Dark Horses:Crouch is a very astute signing for Portsmouth and, providing European exertions do not impact too heavily on Harry Redknapp's squad, they have the ability to challenge at the top end of the table.
Graeme Bailey
Title winner:Manchester United for me although Chelsea will push them close while I expect Liverpool and Arsenal to close the gap. The Red Devils need another striker but I expect Sir Alex to oblige which is why I see them doing it again.
Going down:Could easily be all three newly promoted sides, and indeed I think Hull and Stoke have just too much to do - but I can see West Brom just getting the better of Bolton to send Gary Megson's men down.
Coming up:I expect Birmingham will be there with Wolves, Reading, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace. Three from those five.
Best buy:Despite the big price-tag I think Robbie Keane's arrival at Anfield could take Rafa's men very close to Premier League success, but also watch out for bargains Jonas Gutierrez and Didier Digard in the North East.
Biggest flop:As easy as it was for Rolando Bianchi to be picked out last year, I just don't see how Johan Elmander will be able to justify a £10million price-tag at Bolton.
Player of Year:Frank Lampard. As long as Inter Milan and Jose don't manage to grab him before the end of August - expect Frank to sign off his Chelsea career with a brilliant final year at Stamford Bridge.
Youngster to watch:David Wheater. From Darlington to England in less than 12 months. If the Middlesbrough defender can keep improving then he has the world at his feet.
Top scorer:Emmanuel Adebayor. Again as long as he stays put, the lack of strike-partners will see him bagging on a regular basis.
Fantasy League must have:With Ronaldo missing the start of the season it has to be Steven Gerrard, captain supreme who will score double figures and assist even more.
Dark Horses:If Aston Villa keep Gareth Barry - which appears unlikely - then they could push top-five, so if not them I think Sunderland could break into the top-ten and finish comfortably above North East rivals Newcastle and Middlesbrough.
James Pearson
Title winner:For 18 years long-suffering Liverpool fans have gone without landing the title and I think, following the acquisition of Robbie Keane, Rafa Benitez's men might just do it this season! Sticking my neck out I know, but I think they are due and I think it would be good for the league to have someone different crowned as champions.
Going down:It's hard to look beyond the newly promoted clubs for the drop so I won't. Stoke, Hull City and West Brom to last just one season in England's top flight. However, Bolton, Fulham and Wigan will need to watch their backs very carefully if they are to avoid being sucked into a relegation dogfight.
Coming up:Reading are my favourites to top the Championship and unsurprisingly they will be followed by Alex McLeish's Birmingham. I fancy QPR to secure promotion against Wolves in a thrilling play-off final.
Best buy:For an initial fee of £4.7million Spurs' close-season capture of Giovani dos Santos is my best buy of the summer. Although the fee could rise to £8.6million depending on appearances I think the Mexico international will light up the Premier League. His Spurs colleague David Bentley should prove an excellent signing as well.
Biggest flop:Fulham have spent big on Andy Johnson's capture from Everton, a deal that could rise to a whopping £13million. With the Cottagers' dour brand of football and lack of creativity in midfield Johnson may struggle to find the back of the net consistently enough to impress.
Player of Year:Should Liverpool go on and be crowned champions of England then England international Steve Gerrard will be at the forefront of The Reds' play. The league title is one Gerrard craves so much and I think it will be his and the Merseysiders' year.
Youngster to watch:Although Manchester City like splashing the cash on new signings I believe Welsh youngster Ched Evans could impress many off the bench for the club this season and chip in with his fair share of goals.
Top scorer:Fernando Torres is a natural goalscorer and I fully expect him to be up there pushing the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor and Didier Drogba for top scorer. This race will be extremely tight, but I think Torres will emerge victorious.
Fantasy League must have:David Bentley supplied the most successful crosses last term and with Dimitar Berbatov and Darren Bent to aim for I think the winger will again set up goals week-in, week-out. He also knows where the back of the net making him a must-have regardless of price.
Dark Horses:Given that not many people fancy Liverpool for the title they go down as my dark horses for the season to surprise all and claim Premier League glory. Hopefully these words won't be too fondly remembered should it be another season of league disappointment for The Reds.
Chris Harvey
Title winner:Chelsea - With Manchester United failing to recruit and with talisman Cristiano Ronaldo out for several months, expect the Blues to land the title this time. Having retained Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba and added quality with Deco and Jose Bosingwa, I expect Chelsea to go one better than last term..
Going down:West Brom, Hull City and Stoke City - While not exactly sticking my neck on the block with these three, it is hard to see beyond the promoted clubs making an early return to the Championship. Unless significant reenforcements arrive, I expect the Tigers and the Potters to be adrfit by Christmas. The Baggies will make more of a fist of it but unless the likes of Wigan, Bolton and Fulham have an injury nightmare I can't see them surviving either.
Coming up:Birmingham, Sheffield United and Reading - The Championship looks as open as ever but Blues have retained much of their Premier League squad so expect them to make a swift return. Kevin Blackwell has stablised the Blades so they will go well while Reading could also get back into the top flight at the first attempt.
Best buy:Heurelho Gomes - Juande Ramos has overhauled the Spurs squad this summer and was quick to identify goalkeeper as a problem position. Gomes has turned in some excellent performances for PSV Eindhoven and should give Tottenham a firm foundation to challenge for a top-six place.
Biggest flop:Andy Johnson - Fulham were desperately short of firepower last term and have managed to land England striker Johnson to try and address the problem but he ran out of steam at Everton and could struggle to find the net again.
Player of Year:Michael Ballack - if, as predicted, Chelsea do land the Premier League crown then expect the German to play a major part. After a tough first 18 months at Stamford Bridge, Ballack produced some inspired play in the title run-in last season and I expect more of the same this time.
Youngster to watch:Ryan Shawcross. Plucked from Manchester United's reserves 12 months ago, the Stoke central defender was one of the Championship's most impressive performers last season and he possesses all the qualities to make the step up.
Top scorer:Michael Owen - OK he may not be favourite exactly but with SkyBet offering odds of 33-1 he looks good value. If fit he will play in all Newcastle's games and should bring a hefty return of goals.
Fantasy League must have:Frank Lampard -The England midfielder missed large chunks of last season but expect him to be his usual consistent self this time. He won't be too far away as season's top goal scorer either if he stays fit.
Dark Horses:Sunderland - Having retained their Premier League status last season, this term the Black Cats will kick on. The likes of Steed Malbranque and El-Hadji Diouf should add creativity and I expect a top ten finish with a good cup run to boot.
Rob Parrish
Title winner:Sir Alex Ferguson may not have added to his squad over the summer, but in retaining the services of Cristiano Ronaldo the Manchester United boss can still boast his most potent attacking threat. Injury will keep the Portugal international out until October, but I still think the Red Devils can hold off Chelsea and achieve another Premier League hat-trick.
Going down:Championship play-off winners rarely fare well in the Premier League and Hull are highly unlikely to buck that trend. Stoke's direct approach will not be enough having made the step up, while Bolton are my tip to fill the third spot after narrowly surviving last term.
Coming up:Around half the Championship harbour realistic aspirations of challenging for promotion, so selecting just three is no easy task. Birmingham have a strong squad, QPR have the financial muscle, and Sheffield United are my outside punt.
Best buy:For £19million, Robbie Keane may be one of the most costly summer signings, but he is also one of the most astute. A proven Premier League performer and a proven Premier League goalscorer, his partnership with Fernando Torres should help Liverpool mount a more realistic title challenge.
Biggest flop:Fulham managed to re-negotiate with Everton to reduce Andy Johnson's transfer fee to £10.5million, but that still seems an awful lot of money for someone who bagged a grand total of six Premier League goals last season.
Player of Year:Rio Ferdinand superbly marshalled Manchester United's defence last season as they claimed the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. The errors which were prevalent in his game as a youngster have gone to be replaced by a new-found maturity and the England captain-in-waiting will shine again.
Youngster to watch:David Wheater was on loan with Darlington in League Two in May 2007. A mere 12 months later the 21-year-old Middlesbrough centre-back was named in Fabio Capello's England squad. A fairly impressive rise by anyone's standards.
Top scorer:Fernando Torres grabbed 24 goals in his debut Premier League season. With Robbie Keane now alongside him, that tally could increase, and if he can find his scoring boots away from Anfield, the sky is the limit.
Fantasy League must have:As the proud owner of a Fantasy League wooden spoon, I'm not sure I should be dishing out advice. But Cesc Fabregas plays week-in, week-out for one of the leading Premier League teams and is capable of both scoring and creating on a regular basis. What more do you want?
Dark Horses:While the top four monopoly is unlikely to be broken, Aston Villa can emerge from the pack to be 'best of the rest'. Martin O'Neill's astute management and Randy Lerner's financial backing is a sound combination, although the Gareth Barry saga has been an unwelcome distraction this summer.
Lewis Rutledge
Title winner:Chelsea - The Blues finished just two points behind Manchester United last season and over the summer they have addressed their problem position at right-back by signing Jose Bosingwa and appointed the exceptional Luiz Felipe Scolari as manager. United, meanwhile, have not strengthened and will be without Cristiano Ronaldo for the start of the campaign.
Going down:Stoke, Hull, Bolton - Stoke and Hull are so poor that they could have ten-point head starts and still go down. West Brom were the best side in the Championship last term and may just do enough to avoid relegation, so Bolton look the most vulnerable to me.
Coming up:Birmingham, Crystal Palace, QPR - Birmingham have the quality to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt, Crystal Palace came close last season and have the right manager in Neil Warnock to lead them to success, while Queens Park Rangers have the ambition and financial power.
Best buy:Heurelho Gomes - Paul Robinson was anything but reliable in goal for Tottenham last season and Juande Ramos has wisely brought in a replacement. Anybody who has seen Gomes play for PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League will be aware that he is something special. Expect him to be the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this term.
Biggest flop:Deco - It was clear last season that Deco's star was on the wane but Chelsea still decided to splash out £8million on him. The Portuguese playmaker will no doubt start the campaign in midfield for the Blues but I predict that he will find it difficult to adjust to the demands of the Premier League and soon lose his place.
Player of Year:Cristiano Ronaldo - Ronaldo has been in a different league to any other player in recent years and now that the speculation over his future has subsided, he is likely to make a major impact yet again.
Youngster to watch:Aaron Ramsey - Arsenal fought off competition from most of the Premier League's top clubs to land Ramsey and the Welsh midfielder is sure to be given the opportunities to impress under Arsene Wenger.
Top scorer:Fernando Torres - Torres enjoyed a stunning first season at Anfield and will only improve this term, particularly with Robbie Keane alongside him up front.
Fantasy League must have:Frank Lampard - While Ronaldo might be the midfielder who earns most points, Lampard is much better value and is likely to be an ever-present in a Chelsea side that will be looking to turn on the style under Scolari.
Dark horses:Tottenham - Spurs have been tipped to finish fifth this season but I believe they have a genuine chance of breaking into the top four (especially if they keep Dimitar Berbatov) after strengthening their squad with the ambitious signings of Gomes, David Bentley, Luka Modric and Giovani Dos Santos.
Andy Clarke
Title winner:Chelsea - I expect them to make a much stronger start this season under Luiz Felipe Scolari and they have the experience and depth to see the job through. Manchester United will run them extremely close though.
Going down:Stoke, Hull, Bolton - Watford showed that you can't prosper (or entertain) in the Premier League playing the Stoke way, while Hull and Bolton lack vital quality. Where are their goals going to come from?
Coming up:Birmingham, Wolves, Sheffield United - Lee Carsley and Kevin Phillips showed their worth to the Birmingham cause on the opening day while Marcus Bent is another astute addition. Michael Kightly and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake can be the difference for Wolves, while the Blades have plenty of experience and a steady supply of goals from James Beattie.
Best buy:Robbie Keane - Outstanding for Spurs last season, Keane should enjoy similar freedom as defences worry about stopping Fernando Torres. It promises to be some partnership, but still not enough to bring that elusive title.
Biggest flop:Seyi Olofinjana - A Premier League midfield enforcer? I doubt it.
Player of Year:Fernando Torres - A mountain of goals in his debut season for the club and there's no reason why he shouldn't do it all again. He scores pretty much every week at Anfield and he should start to add a few more away from home too.
Youngster to watch:Danny Sturridge - Injuries to others could give the England youth striker a real chance to shine at Manchester City this season. He's quick, clever and confident and his awareness of his team-mates is developing.
Top scorer:Fernando Torres - Comes with a guarantee of goals.
Fantasy League must have:Cristiano Ronaldo - He may be out until October, but you're unlikely to win without him.
Dark Horses:Nobody. I hope no one from the hyperbole department is reading, but, sorry to say, everyone will finish roughly where you expect them to.
Peter O'Rourke
h5>Title winner: Chelsea will be a like wounded animal this season after missing out on the title and Champions League to Manchester United last term and they will be determined to make amends this year. Luiz Felipe Scolari will get the best out of Chelsea's star-studded squad and they will pip United to the crown.

Baby Boomers and classic TV fans alike can stroll down memory lane when the release of the original hidden-camera comedy format "THE LOST ACHIVES OF CANDID CAMERA" hits the shelves of WAL-MART and other fine retailers nationwide on March 12, 2013. The classic bits, which feature comedy icons Allen Funt, Carol Burnett, Garry Moore, Durwood Kirby and more, have been assembled and re-mastered into a 2-disc set by Legendary Entertainment Alliance (LEA) (www.LEAdistribution.com), a newly launched home entertainment company.
This never-before-seen release (which is being distributed under an exclusive label deal between LEA and eOne Distribution) will also be supported by a national direct response ad campaign. The marketing effort will be specially designed to promote retail awareness while simultaneously presenting a Special TV Offer for customers who visit www.LostCandidCamera.com.
LEA, who controls one of the largest independently owned classic TV Libraries in the industry, curated THE LOST ARCHIVES OF CANDID CAMERA from numerous episodes of the Emmy Award winning hit series, THE GARRY MOORE SHOW produced by Legendary TV Producer Bob Banner. Banner used his variety show platform as a vehicle to introduce CANDID CAMERA to network television and made it a major segment of the show each week. The segment gained such incredible popularity that it eventually spun off into its own series which became a SMASH hit and was later bought by Viacom. However, the original, laugh-out-loud moments that introduced the world to Candid Camera remained in Banner's library, and haven't aired since their original broadcast.

As the Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants prepare to face off on Monday Night Football, everyone is crunching numbers to try and predict who will win. But only time will tell the answer to that conundrum — in the meantime, we've decided to take it upon ourselves to decide who has the better looking squad. From cute quarterbacks and their tight ends (sorry we couldn't help it), to burly running backs and chisel-jawed kickers, we're pitting position against position in a battle before, you know, the actual battle on the field tonight.
Which Athletes Actually Have Personalities?
It's no secret that professional athletes are superhuman specimens with physical capabilities we can only dream of recreating. While they dazzle on the court or field, they're aren't always known for their charisma — or ability to convincingly read from a teleprompter. However, what they lack in people skills they make up for in strength or hand size. Read more…
Super Bowl XLVI's 15 Hottest Football Wives (And Girlfriends)
Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner, which is the time where we celebrate fantastic feats of athleticism by gorging ourselves on Doritos and dip (seven layers!). The New England Patriots' QB Tom Brady is going helmet-to-helmet with the New York Giants' Eli Manning, both on the field and in our FABLife Weekly Hotness Poll. These guys play for honor, glory, and endorsement deals. But most importantly, they play to make their ladies proud! Both teams boast an impressive assortment of wives and girlfriends (or WAGs), from former Victoria's Secret Angel Gisele Bundchen and VH1's very own Evelyn Lozada on the Pats side, to the sizzling Elaina Watley reppin' Team Giants. No matter who scores the most touchdowns this Sunday, all the dudes are winners with these women by their sides. Check out the mega-gallery of Super Babes past and present to see what we mean!

Tom Brady Vs. Eli Manning: Who Should Be This Week's Super Bowl Hotness?
We like to think that our weekly Hotness poll isn't all about looks — personality plays a big part in our celebrity lust. But this week's choice will run even deeper for some of you as we pit this week's Super Bowl quarterbacks, the Patriots' Tom Brady and the Giants' Eli Manning, against each other in a tough matchup. Do you go for classically handsome Tom, with his deep-set baby blues, dimpled chin and supermodel wife? Or does sweet boy-next-door Eli, with his goofy smile and his ability to pull through in a clutch?* Do you vote for New York or New England (or AGAINST New York or New England), regardless of the QBs' cuteness? Whatever you do, vote early, vote often and don't get any guacamole on your mouse during halftime. Poll closes on Sunday night at 11 p.m.
*We tried to say something more articulately sporty here, but it is not our forte. On this of all weeks, we really hope you're not turning to us for wisdom on how a football player plays football.

I am a strong-minded man that knows what he wants out of life. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A "FUN GIRL". By saying that I mean a female that thinks life is a big birthday party that never ends. I am looking for ambition, honesty, beauty(in and out), and trust. I would love to find a women that is not happy being average. I have goals that would be alot more enjoyable with someone special beside me. I have made the mistake several times in the past by letting the physical attraction overshadow the mental. Through those mistakes I have learned that nothing of value can be built through sex , so for me and my expectations ...that is not one of them , I am looking for a "FRIENDSHIP WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF WHATEVER".Is someone who is strong-minded and is confident about herself as a woman. Someone who is REALLY tired of the GAME and is looking for someone REAL. Come on ladies can someone be HONEST it seems like almost everyone is deceptive for NO REASON!(us men included) I know someone feels me. Finding someone to share a bed with is no problem for ANYBODY but sooner or later we much grow up and learn to share something deeper.

Across Americas - Discovering the New World on a motorcycle

Joined: Nov 2009

Oddometer: 232
With the pace I am uploading this I think I will lose any hoe of ever getting back to correct mistakes. So please forgive any misspellings.
The day weve visited the Desert Hand in Atacama, was the last day we had our Nikon D3000 photo camera in proper working conditions. Sometime after that stop a stone must have hit it in the display, something that weve noticed much later during a stop. The bad news was that that the display was cracked and un-usable anymore. The good news was that the camera retained its main function: to take pictures. So lets be happy about that. We will have to make it without the nice shiny colors
What we didnt know at that time is that this incident was to be only the first of a quite long string of accidents happening to our electronics. But for now, the worries were far away, and we were enjoying the fresh cold morning air. The road mingled sinuously between desert rocks and the ocean and everything was so quiet in this morning. Our only companions were the fishing boats, docked in natural harbors.
Before leaving Romania a friend asked us if we could bring him back home pebbles from the more special places we will encounter. Well, since Atacama left us with a quite strong impression, Andreea decided to take a hmm small pebble for him. First try major fail!
OK, shall we try again with something more appropiate. Here we go.
A little bit more South we see police in the street. They wave us down as well. We were not doing anything unlawful so I was thinking Oh, come on guys, we are enjoying Chile, please dont change that. And just when I was about to forget all my Spanish and all my English and getting ready to have a conversation in Romanian, here are the police guys just telling us that we should be careful as Dakar Rally stage is ending here and there will be a lot of people around. Oh yes?? Bam, suddenly I remember again to speak in Spanish and the sky is bright again. So where is the Dakar? Well on that off-road there. But you cannot go with the motorcycle, the road is closed for public use. OK, but I can walk and take some pictures? Sure, go ahead. Goody!
Unfortunatelywe could not advance too much so only pics after the checkpoint so no pics from the heat of the action, just the finale and the relaxed waves of the ones who did managed to finish the stage. That works good enough!
It is hot, it is dusty and it is full of people. In the second one of the motorcycles stops, the rider is surrounded by spectators, all wanting to take a picture with the moto, or to shake his hand or to talk to him. It is really impressive to see the show! And a lot of these guys are local heroes.
We exit back on the main highway and it gets better! Turns out that those who finish the special stage on the insane terrain, get a bonus of extra 120 miles on tarmac up to La Serena. That means a lot of race cars, trucks and bikes just sharing the 2 lanes road with us. Uhuuuu!
For the next 2 and a half hours we feel right in the middle of this awesome event. The guys who finished are naturaly in a happy mood so there is a lot of passing by happening, waving around and posing for pictures. We have fun! And we see a lot of monsters. From the 2 wheeled ones
Up to some a little bigger (and with more wheels on them
We are so engorged into the ride that we neglect to fill up when we had the chance. This was because I was only 150 km into the tank and I felt safe with so many people around. It didnt felt like desert anymore. But guess what. IT was! Soon enough we are down to using our extra gas from the plastic recipient. Too soon after that (windy) the light blinks again. The city was still 100 kms away. Great job Alex! How cool it would be to remain without gas in the middle of the Dakar Rally guys! I already see myself waving down some of them for some spare gas. That would have made an interesting story! Luckily in the next village we find a grampa who sells gas from plastic bottles. Naturally, special price for the stranded ones
And the old guy knows his business. Dakar or no Dakar he doesnt drop an inch of his price. Fine, give me 5 liters of your finest! Err
So with our wallet shaken down but with our pride saved, we can rejoin the show
On the sides of the road, lots of people, all trying to find that special spot for that special shot. Some of them have chairs with them, or blankets, they wave flags and smile. They wave to us as well which makes us feel very bad as we feel that unintentionally we are deceiving them. They came here to see the Dakar and we are not part of the Dakar. We are just two travelers. They keep waving us and I feel like stopping and say sorry sorry guys we are not what you think. Of course that is not possible so we just wave back and hope they are not too disappointed when they dont see any racing number on our windshield.
And yet even when we ride very slow and it is clear that the people realize we are not from Dakar, we are 2 up and with luggage, they still wave to us and take pictures. Even when we stop (finally) at a gas station this happens. So maybe it is just that these people are really passionate about 2 wheels? Good for them.
We reach Serena in the middle of the racers and 5PM traffic. All on one lane going into the city. Nice. At least we have nice posters!
I know, here on the street these guys might look a little bit silly all dressed up with fancy moto suits riding their colorful machines. But it is enough to
see them in action for a few minutes
and you will get the idea, you would understand what is all the hype about. OK, normally I dont have YT links but this time
After you see all this, I think you are ready to get out of the door and take the first plane to South America
Hmm wait we are not even back home yet. So lets enjoy South America!
We make camp further South from La Serena in a small place near the ocean. Tenting near the water was a nice way to spend the last nigyeht close to the Pacific. Next morning we say good bye to its blue waters. It was to be the last time we will see them in this trip. Until next time! Please dont get too dirty in the mean time!
Next was Santiago which totally surprised us. We usually avoid the big cities but here we plunged in and it turned out to be very good times. We meet wonderful Chilean people which since then become our friends (thank you Sandra, you have a wonderful family!)
We discovered a hot and lazy city, quite empty as a lot of the people were out on holidays strange sensation walking almost all alone between high concrete buildings, with no cars passing by. Where is the crowded capital?
We also met a very cool Suzuki dealer. He let us work in his courtyard and even provided an oil pan to use without asking for a penny. Thank you! Then we spent a slow day in the city. We strolled the streets and our slow pace seemed very alert compared to others
In the same day we encoutnered the Dakar again. This time at the last day, finish day! Just in time to see some more race cars. No race emotions today, just the parade today.
The road South will be quiet and filled with tranquility, nice views and nice people. We stay with CouchSurfing hosts (thanks guys) and discover the very pitoresque part of Chile. But we were looking at the map and despite we had covered some serious ground, we were still closer to Santiago than to Ushuaia. It was time to get back to Argentina and meet Patagonia. We were anctious to enter the last stage of the journey South. Sometimes we wish we could fly to be faster. But riding a motorcycle is as good as it gets
Argentina, here we come! Again.
We are exploring the
New World

GLENDALE, AZ - OCTOBER 17: Andrew Ference #21 of the Boston Bruins watches from the bench during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on October 17, 2009 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Bruins 4-1. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
The Bruins dominated in nearly every category on Wednesday night in Game 1 of the playoffs against the Maple Leafs. The only bad news for the B's came after the game, when defenseman Andrew Ference was suspended for one game for throwing an elbow at the face of Toronto's Mikhail Grabovski. Ference will sit out of Game 2 against the Maple Leafs on Saturday night to fulfill his punishment from the NHL, and the defenseman's only opinion on the matter is that he is already looking forward to Game 3. Hear what Ference had to say in the video above.

Celebrities sell, and sex sells: So whoever had the brilliant idea to take naked pictures of celebrities and smack them on their magazine covers must have been made employee of month! For the past twenty years, famous folks of every stripe have stripped down for mainstream publications, giving us quite the eyeful while standing at the checkout line.
The trend has obviously been around forever, but it really kicked into high gear during the '90s when iconic photos of Demi Moore, Janet Jackson and Cindy Crawford hit the news stands. Those shots appeared on edgier mags back in the day, but now it seems like everyone is getting off on the whole "naked people" bandwagon. Getting nude ain't just for porn anymore! Kid's today…
Just this month Kate Hudson graces the cover of Glamour, sans shirt. Who knew that topless was now glamorous! In honor of hot famous people/nakedness, we've taken the time to assemble the 50 sexiest celebrity nude cover photos from mainstream magazines. EVERYONE is in there, from singing bombshells like Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera, to silver screen sirens like Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet and Scarlett Johansson.
And of course, Rihanna is in there too. Yes, the unexplainable seaweed makes her look kind of like the Loch Ness monster (or sushi) but it doesn't matter. That's just the power of Riri. Check out our countdown in the gallery above!

The water distribution system is the essential link between the water supply source and you. It is not just the main that runs down your street, quite the contrary. It is an elaborate conveyance system that allows water to be moved through miles of piping before reaching your tap. Pumps allow water to move through the system; valves allow water pressure and flow direction to be regulated along the way.
Our crews are responsible for the maintenance of water mains, water services, fire hydrants, water valves and backflow devices located within the City's service area. In short, they ensure that good, clean water is delivered to your tap.
When you see them working on your street, feel free to say hello and take a peek at what they are doing!

What's the average rainfall in up in the Bull Run watershed in February? We asked Doug Bloem, who tracks this and a lot of other information up in the watershed. Here's what he had to say:
It depends on where in Bull Run you measure the precipitation.
At Headworks (750' elevation) we have records going back to 1899. Average February precipitation for 1899-2011 is 8.4". In February 2011, we had 8.8", about 30% (2.6") of which fell on the last day of the month (yesterday).
At the South Fork SNOTEL* site (2690' elevation), average February precipitation is 11.4" for the period 1998 - 2010. I can't give you a total for February 2011 because they've had some electronic glitches the last few days, so we don't have a full month's total. They measured 14.3" total through the 25th, but the other two SNOTEL sites had over 4" the last three days of February, so the South Fork total for February is probably something like 18"-19".
At the North Fork SNOTEL (3060' elevation), average February precipitation is 15.3" for the period 1980 - 2011. We had 16.9" in February 2011.
At the Blazed Alder SNOTEL (3650' elevation), average February precipitation is 13.4" for the period 1981 - 2011. We had 15.0" in February 2011.
You may have noticed that North Fork has a higher average than Blazed Alder, even though Blazed Alder is higher elevation. North Fork is typically the wettest precipitation measuring site in Bull Run because of its proximity to the Gorge, where the storms come in at essentially sea level and then are forced up to elevations well over 3000'. By the time the clouds get to Blazed Alder, they've already had some of the moisture wrung out of them.
-Doug Bloem
SNOTEL: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the United States Department of Agriculture operates snow telemetry (SNOTEL) stations at three places in the Bull Run watershed to help predict how much water will be available from melting snow. Snow depths and density vary with time and location.

The Portland Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation will hold an open house for the public to view exterior design and landscaping plans for the Water Bureau's new drinking water pump station to be built in Willamette Park in Southwest Portland.
The event will be held on Saturday, March 19th, from 10 am to 2 pm at the Portland French School, 6318 SW Corbett Avenue, in Southwest Portland. The public is invited to drop-in anytime during these hours.
In 2009, staff from Portland Parks & Recreation and the Water Bureau sought the opinions of area neighborhood associations, businesses, park users and the public about siting options for rebuilding the city's 99-year old Fulton Pump Station, located in a residential area on SW Nevada Street, between Macadam Avenue and Virginia Avenue. Participants supported siting the new facility in nearby Willamette Park.
In January, a Project Advisory Committee (PAC) was established to ensure the building will complement the park. PAC members met with project architects and City staff to discuss the exterior of the facility and choose design elements. The building will also house a new larger public restroom and park equipment storage area.
For more information: contact Tim Hall, Water Bureau Public Outreach, at 503-823-6926 or email@example.com.

When the water from your faucet is brown this indicates a disturbance in the water main. Since Portland is an unfiltered water system, there is a fine layer of sediment on the bottom of the water mains that can be stirred up. Hydraulic disturbances caused by hydrant use, valve turning, main breaks or adjacent construction can stir up these sediments and cause the water to be brown.
