City will open their third UEFA Champions League campaign against Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday hoping to make it through the group stage for the first time.
Tough draws have worked against them in the past, but the Premier League outfit have also struggled to produce their best on the grandest of stages.
A new era has been ushered in under Pellegrini - as he succeeded Roberto Mancini over the summer - and the Chilean coach is looking for City to build towards a brighter continental future.
He said: "I think we should forget that Manchester City didn't qualify for the next round in the last two editions, and before that just managed to reach the Europa League.
"It has been three years now that this club hasn't done well in Europe.
"I think that if we want to qualify, we have to respect Plzen, CSKA Moscow and Bayern Munich the same way, and will try to put in our best performance to beat them."
He added: "I think the most important aspect is to make the players feel that they have the capacity, and feel the confidence to compete against teams at the same level.
"But I have always repeated the same sentence to my players: If we are eliminated in the Champions League, then that is because we faced a team that was superior to us and who played better than us, and not because they faced a bad playing team.
"I think that has helped the players a bit, to let them feel that they have their qualities as well."

The Northeast District Wastewater Compliance is a section of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection that regulates more than 365 wastewater treatment facilities in Northeast Florida. Wastewater Compliance conducts more than 1,000 inspections per year of the treatment facilities to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
After each inspection the Wastewater Compliance Section sends a letter to inform the facility if it is in compliance with state rules. If the facility is found to be out of compliance, a case is opened in a compliance status-tracking database, which is maintained by the Wastewater Compliance staff. Wastewater Compliance staff must ensure that each facility responds to this letter and fixes any compliance issues in a timely manner and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, allowing them to close the case.
Problem Statement
Prior to the Lean event, there was no standard process for closing a case. Staff had individual methods for updating the database and it was difficult to obtain up-to-date information on which cases were open and required further response from the Wastewater Compliance Section.
Before the event, 708 cases had been open for more than 60 days. Furthermore, approximately five times per year, inspectors would encounter an open case of noncompliance that needs to be researched before they could re-inspect a facility. The Wastewater Compliance Section realized that it needed a standard process for staff to close a case as well as a faster case closure time in order to meet its environmental and quality goals.
Project Scope: The Kaizen event addressed the process of tracking each case from the time a letter is sent to a facility until the case is closed.
Project Team: Nine members, including a Team Leader and Champion.
Goal: Create a standard process that ensures all follow-up to an inspection is completed within 60 days.
Solutions Developed
The Lean Kaizen team mapped the current tracking process and surveyed it for steps that did not add value or information to the process of closing noncompliance cases. As a result of the event, the team created a standardized operating procedure for entering case data into the compliance database, tracking a case, and closing a case. Also, a standard procedure was established for tracking follow-up action items required for a facility to return to compliance and to close each case. Automated email reminders were setup to alert staff of a monthly inspectors meeting, which ensures the database is being updated.
All employees who were involved with inspection follow-up were trained in this new procedure.
Time Saved: 452 hours per year, because inspectors did not need to check unclosed inspection files prior to re-inspecting facilitities.
Environmental: The number of cases open for more than 60 days dropped dramatically with more than a 90% improvement over the old system. This timely closure of cases improved wastewater treatment facilities compliance with state laws, protecting the environment and human health.
Cost Savings: $37,000
Other Benefits: The new system prevents follow-up items to inspections from being dropped or forgotten during employee turnover and allows managers to be confident that staff response to wastewater treatment facilities is prompt and accurate.

CALABASH—Calabash commissioners have unanimously approved a request asking Brunswick County to put the town's wastewater project on hold.
The request is to delay the estimated $7 million project once engineering is complete for not less than six months so the town can explore financial options.
A workshop and specially called meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, at Sunset Beach Town Hall.
Town council will discuss a StreetScape design for the island causeway and hear a request for additional funding from Scott Kucera, director of Ingram Planetarium.
All interested citizens are encouraged to attend.
By the end of a season, teams have established their identity.
Conference champions or conference patsies. Overachievers or slackers. Good sports or disgusting rogues.
When the West Brunswick High School football season ended Friday night after a 51-27 loss to Overhills in the first round of the NCHSAA Class 3-AA playoffs, West coach Jimmy Fletcher felt good about these 2008 Trojans.
And he was especially grateful for the way the seniors played.
A Shallotte man has been sentenced to four months in prison for the 2006 shooting death of 43-year-old Harry Robert Ponds.
Steven Woods, 30, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter on Monday in Brunswick County Superior Court. Superior Court Judge Gary Locklear sentenced Woods to 16-20 months, which was suspended for five years. Woods will serve four months in the department of corrections as a condition of his suspended sentence, assistant district attorney Lee Bollinger said.
Fourteen years ago this past June, Birdie Frink lost her daughter Amy to a violent murder. Since then she has been active in victims' advocacy and pushing for legislation to help victims of violent crimes and their families.
On Friday, The Citizens for Justice group, a nonprofit victim's advocacy group, will host the 13th Annual Candlelight Memorial Service Honoring Victims of Crime.
The memorial service is free and open to the public. The service begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Leland Baptist Church on Village Road.
The Brunswick Community College men's basketball team made school history Saturday afternoon when it beat Wilkes Community College 113-83 and improved to a record-setting start of 8-0.
Five Dolphins scored at least 10 points against Wilkes: Mi'kyel Nero had 18, Lamonte Theus 15, Jeremy Basnight and Andrew Jackson 14 each and Isaac Nixon 10.
BCC won the game without 6-foot-9 center/forward Jamar Taylor (ankle injury) and 6-9 center Jeffery Monk (funeral).
The game was close late into the first half before the Dolphins built a big lead.
BEULAVILLE—Cougars 24, Panthers 8: That was the score in 1986, when South Brunswick High School won it first football playoff game, against East Duplin.
JACKSONVILLE—You can see it in his face, the excitement, the happiness, the relief. You can feel the emotion as coach Garry Bishop clenched his fist and raised an arm in triumph.
The North Brunswick football team beat a higher ranked, highly touted Southwest Onslow football team. It took overtime to achieve this as the 10th-seeded Scorpions beat the seventh-seeded Stallions of Onslow 21-14 in the first round of the NCHSAA Class 2-A playoffs.
The Brunswick Bulldogs finished second in a recent two-day tournament in Pembroke. The Bulldogs, who consist of five West players, five South players and three North players, beat the Bladen Spinners 10-1 Nov. 8.
Blake Norris pitched first three innings. He faced 14 batters and threw 63 pitches. He struck out one and walked six. He gave up two hits and no runs.
Robert Jones pitched the fourth and fifth innings to complete the game. He faced eight batters and threw 33 pitches. He struck out three and walked one. He gave up two hits and one run.
In the final NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race of the season, Chad McCumbee finished 13th and failed to finish in the top 10 in points.
In the Ford 200 race Friday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, McCumbee was trying to earn enough points to finish ahead of Terry Cook, who was 10th in points. But Cook finished ninth and secured the top-10 finish.
McCumbee finished 11th in points, 73 behind Cook. In 25 starts, McCumbee finished in the top five twice and in the top 10 eight times. He failed to finish two races.

I always thought kitchen scales were restrictive…a sign of dieting and over-obsession about portion sizes. When MIRA Brands contacted me about a review, I wasn't sure I'd really use their new kitchen scale, nor did I think I had room for it.

The Twin Cities metro area caught a break from heavy snow while areas south of the metro were looking like a winter wonderland Thursday.
The metro area saw less snow accumulation than previously forecast because the storm shifted south and east.
KSTP Meteorologist Ken Barlow says Blooming Prairie got 18 inches, Red Wing got 10 inches and Hastings got 8.4 inches. Across the border in Wisconsin, Rice Lake got 17 inches and Barron got 14 inches. Click here for a list of more snowfall totals.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation had to shut down part of Interstate 35 north of Owatonna during part of the storm.
Crews worked Thursday to repair electrical lines brought down by the heavy, wet snow that fell across parts of northern Iowa, southeastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
Xcel Energy said more than 29,000 of its Minnesota and Wisconsin customers were still without power around midday Thursday. Red Wing was among the hardest-hit areas with more than 5,000 customers out. Xcel is urged residents to stay away from downed lines.
Rochester Public Utilities said about 10,000 of its customers lost power Thursday morning, though crews managed to reduce that number to about 2,600 around noon.
And in northern Iowa, more than 5,000 customers of several utilities lost power. The storm dumped nearly a foot of snow in parts of Iowa from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning.
The snow was extremely heavy and wet so it weighed down branches, causing them to snap and fall in many people's yards.
Some of the branches fell across roadways, others landed on top of cars.
Some of the shovelers KSTP Reporter Kate Renner spoke with said it's the worst kind of snow too; it's hard to pick up and it clogs your snow blower.
"I never thought I'd be snow-plowing on May 2, especially this much snow," Owatonna resident Mark Sherman said. " I think this is our biggest snowfall in Owatonna of this year and comes at the end of the year."
"You just get used to it and move it and hope in a couple of days it will be summer again," Owatonna resident Greg Gorder also said.
The snowplows were out and about, but they had so much ground to cover that many of Owatonna's side streets were left untouched and only the main roads got some attention from the plows.
Meanwhile, MnDOT is advising no unnecessary travel in Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha and Winona Counties due to heavy snow and reduced visibility.
Some schools have closed for the day due to the snow.
A Winter Storm Warning was in effect through 10 a.m. Thursday for parts of southern Minnesota, including parts of the Twin Cities, and west-central Wisconsin.

SARATOGA SPRINGS - A Saratoga Springs man will spend 5 years in jail for vehicular assault.
The man, Aurelio R. Bidinost, also admitted to a second felony for trying to run police off the road.
According to police reports, Bidinost was a passenger in a vehicle driven by his estranged wife, and pulled the wheel, forcing it into the oncoming lane towards a police patrol car.
The officer narrowly missed a head on collision.
DA Murphy said, "I am most disturbed by Bidinost trying to kill a police officer and his wife. This person needs to be incarcerated for at least 5 years. Fortunately, no one was physically injured or the sentence would have been higher. Assistant DA James Davis worked closely with the Saratoga Police and Officer Noeker in order to ensure this dangerous felon is removed from our streets for a long time."

ONE LOVELY DRAWING, part eight
This lovely little drawing by Robert Fawcett appeared in Look Magazine in the 1960s. It was just a spot illustration, about 2 inches across. It is not likely to be reproduced ever again.
In the 1960s, illustration went wild. Innovators used psychedelic colors and bold new styles to create increasingly abstract work. Representational art was declared obsolete. Fawcett, who was trained in a rigorous traditional style, remained unperturbed. In fact, he was amused by the "misconception that abstract qualities are new to contemporary painting, whereas they have been the comparision of excellence since painting began."
Today, all those daring 1960s illustrations with the LSD-inspired paisley designs seem quaint and dated. But if you revisit this tiny little drawing by Fawcett, you will see art that is wild in a more lasting, meaningful sense.
Fawcett often drew conventional subjects using conventional media. He was known for scenes of cultured people in English libraries. But don't be fooled by his subject matter-- he drew them with a powerful, vigorous line. This little drawing is like a DNA sample of the pagan force in Fawcett's drawing. It remains far more wild and frightening today than much of the work that "revolutionaries" such as Peter Max or Bob Peak were producing with the "new freedom" of that era.

2 cups
ground hazelnuts or almonds
powdered sugar for dusting
these cookies are awesome. i found the recipe on this site 2 weeks ago and i've had to make them three times. i'll be making them again for the family christmas party this weekend. i only gave it 4 stars cuz they're a bit time consuming and messy (with all the icing sugar) but well worth it.just a quick note to add, i dredged them 4 or 5 at a time when they were still hot. this melts the icing sugar a bit and makes them a little sticky. i then dredge them again when warm. this ensures a generous coating of icing sugar that looks spectacular!
I had 2 cups of leftover peanuts so I subsituted them, finely chopped, for the hazelnuts. The cookies came out great; they had a different flavor but were still just as rich and delicious!

love, love these tea cakes, i use regular sugar,my family and friend love them also, she ask for the recipe.
Great cookies! I made only a half batch, and I had to use a bit of extra butter to get them to stick. Might be because I used crushed almonds instead of ground. I will definitely make them again.
I made these, they are to die for. I gave it 5 stars and would have gave them a 6 if possible. Great recipe Gail.
These were really good and my family really liked them as a light Christmas cookie. I do find fault with the directions, which is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. It says to preheat the oven, then it says to chill the dough for an hr. That's an awful long time for an oven to be on. Luckily, I caught that before making them.
Turned out really nice... it's a keeper! Thank you for sharing!
Loved it remembered making them when I was younger. But I cut the nuts in half.

Tom Whitehurst: The streets, Nelda! Now!
CORPUS CHRISTI - Last week, as Corpus Christi elected a new mayor, I received two important reminders of the confession I made nine months ago in a column — that I was to blame for the deplorable condition of this city's streets.
For those who missed it or forgot, I'm to blame because I've been working for the Caller-Times for 29 of the estimated 30 years that the streets have been going straight to H-E-Double-Toothpicks. I could have pushed the newspaper to pay watchdog attention to street maintenance. Instead, I ignored the problem as resolutely as we all do the old Nueces County Courthouse (note to self, and to the rest of you ...).
My first reminder was an anonymous online comment to an editorial: "Wasn't it (Editor Shane) Fitzgerald who blamed himself for the streets' neglect?" Fitzgerald! I put on the crown of thorns and he's remembered as the savior.
The second reminder was a phone call from a prominent longtime resident whose opinions about this community are valuable whether I agree with them or not (and I have no recollection of disagreeing).
This person reminded me that now is a good time to send the message to Mayor-elect Nelda Martinez that our billion-dollar street maintenance problem is Priority One. This individual has high confidence in Nelda! — that's how she spelled it on her campaign posters and the phone-caller is excited for her, so in appropriate limited circumstances such as this, that's how I'll spell it.
The caller's confidence is not misplaced. The top story on Page One Thursday under the headline "Mayor-elect outlines priorities" started with these words: "A street maintenance plan that calls for a utility fee ..."
Yes (exclamation point)! After months of City Council hemming and hawing, these are encouraging words indeed.
The hemming and hawing started in January, when a special committee of professionals who studied street funding options for a year gave the council the unwelcome news that street maintenance had become a nearly $1.3 billion problem (a city staff estimate, later revised to just under $1 billion). The committee recommended the utility fee because no other mechanism was a sure thing, nor could any other method raise that much, even in 20 or more years.
Several council members were planning to run for re-election, some for mayor. They were reluctant listeners. Some, especially Nelda!'s opponent for mayor, Chris Adler, disputed it outright. Strongly.
Nelda! was the first and most decisive council member to embrace the reality. I have no idea if this had anything to do with her election victory. I'd have thought it more likely to cost her votes. But whether voters meant to or not, they chose the most adamant advocate for changing this city's now-generation-length habit of deferring basic, necessary maintenance. That 30-year habit is why, now, Corpus Christi residents who have never been to Fallujah compare their streets to the streets of Fallujah.
When Nelda! takes the gavel, the street maintenance fee still will have the full authority accorded a council resolution, meaning it's not a done deal. The council passed a resolution telling the staff to study a street fee and come back with a recommendation for the council to consider.
It'll be up to Nelda! to lead the council where councils have been reluctant to go, and make me pay money I don't want to pay. You heard me: I DON'T WANT TO pay the street fee. No one does, including Nelda! Some of us just prefer it to the unacceptable alternative. Some of us also don't kid ourselves that there's enough wasteful spending to be discovered and eliminated to make up the difference.
That phone call I received last week reminded me that the streets are just a symptom of a bigger problem, basically this: My grandparents' generation built this city to a higher standard than we've maintained. That seawall, that Memorial Coliseum, that Harbor Bridge — WE didn't build that.
We're like a bunch of hermit crabs living in shells we didn't make — shells that used to be pretty before they became all barnacle-encrusted. Shouldn't we leave behind something better than the used-up shells we inherited?
The new mayor is committed to having streets like the ones in first-world countries, and that's a start. She's going to need that exclamation point!

Giancarlo Tello, 23, didn't know he was in the United States illegally until he was a sophomore in high school and his mother told him he couldn't get a driver's license.
Other realizations followed: Tello, whose parents brought him to New Jersey from Peru when he was 6, learned he didn't have a Social Security number. He couldn't work, except at odd jobs. And he couldn't receive financial aid to go to college or qualify for in-state tuition.
While he earned enough as a tennis coach and computer instructor to attend Bergen Community College - hitching rides from his father, who woke him at 5 a.m. and picked him up from the school at 11 p.m. - Tello couldn't afford to continue a political science major he had begun at Rutgers University, he said Thursday.

Re: Ironwood drum set
Update on kit:
In my never-ending quest to streamline and reduce my hardware, I did this following mod. I removed one of the legs from the DW ride stand (I play open handed, ride on left). I got one of those two-legged DW 5000 hats and removed the legs, clamping it to the "gimp" tripod. The foot plate of the hihat stand locks into place, so it serves as the missing leg of the tripod. So, instead of having up to six leg contact points, I have just two. This frees up room for another foot percussion pedal.
Setup minus cymbals. I put Velcro on the stands and clamp jaws, showing correct location during setup and preventing scratching. Two clamps ensure rock-solid support.
As installed in set. Stand leg placement gives plenty of room for foot pedals.
Close-up. I figure I saved a fair amount of bulk and about six pounds in hardware weight with the mod - which I of course immediately gained back with the second foot percussion pedal. The only downside is that setup is a bit trickier, as a two-leg cymbal stand doesn't stand up very well!

After making a wonderful allusion to Ireland, the Epiphany Girl notes, in response to The Prosperity Mongers:
This post is an interesting companion to the piece you wrote about those we leave behind specifically in terms of accepting the fact that mysticism is not for everyone while at the same time wanting to bring it to a broader audience … the path of the mystic appeals to so few (based on personality and inclination as you say), it seems an inherently difficult entity to effectively bring to the marketplace.
Herein lies the core dilemma of writing about mysticism.
It's one to thing to blog about mysticism: I pay nothing to the good folks at WordPress for this blog except for fifteen bucks for the use of my "anamchara.com" domain name. Pretty cheap for a platform that allows me to reach thousands of people, huh? And while I do get a modest amount of credit at Amazon.com from the various book links sprinkled throughout the site, this is not an advertiser-supported blog. In other words, it costs me nothing and only benefits me by allowing me to keep acquiring more books (on mysticism and related topics, of course), whether from publishers who are eager to have me review their books or through the Amazon.com referrals.
But as I've said before, there is a difference between blogging and book-writing, and — for the moment, at least — the book is not dead. But to do it right, publishing a book costs in the tens of thousands of dollars. From editing to design to paper to printing, to warehousing to marketing, the money adds up — quickly. And of course, since I'm not self-publishing, I represent a cost as well: the publisher will pay me an advance on the royalties, and once the book sells enough copies to cover the advance, I'll be owed additional royalties with each book sold. With all this money at stake, a book only makes sense if it's going to sell well, as in "tens of thousands of copies" well.
See why the Joel Osteens of the world have an easier time getting published? If you are the kind of person who walks into a bookstore and feels like much of what is coming out these days is bland and plays to the mainstream, well, you're right. Publishers have to pander to the masses because it's simply too risky otherwise.
So here's the challenge: those of us who have caught the fire of the great Christian mystics want to share it with others. Not in an evangelistic, "you must read the mystics in order to be saved" kind of way, but in a more natural, organic, "this really speaks to me and I think you'll like it too" sort of way. To expand on what I said yesterday, I want people to understand that the mystical life is not a million miles away from where they are now: it begins only a single step away. Not everyone wants —or needs — to take that step. But I want to make sure that those who do, know about what's possible.
A book is a great way to get the word out (and I have been blessed by an offer from a publisher to bring out my book on Christian mysticism). But increasingly, blogging will simply make more sense as the way to bring together mysticism's small numbers but large degree of devotion. I'm reminded of Jesus' parable of the leaven: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened" (Matthew 13:33, NJB). It's really okay if only 1% of the population are contemplatives. But we need that 1% to be contemplating. I think the spiritual health of the world, if not the entire universe, depends on it.
Ken Wilber talks about "greater depth, less span" — in other words, the more highly evolved an entity is, generally speaking the fewer of those entities there are. Now, I don't know that contemplatives are more highly evolved than other people, but they do have a commitment to "go deeper." So the analogy holds: greater depth, less span. There are relatively few of us who want to go deep. And that's okay. But I just hope that those who want to go deeper, get the opportunity — the tools, the knowledge, the mentoring and the communal support — to do so.

Discussion in 'USA Men' started by AutoPenalti, Feb 6, 2013.
On BeIn-nobody-has-it-Sports.
MOD NOTE: BeIn Sports broadcast starts at 3:55 PM EST
Does anyone know any good websites where I can watch the game?
Pretty sure this guy got the time wrong.
thefirstrow and atdhenet should have it. I think they both have multiple domain names and/or change them often, so you're best off just googling them.
Thanks. Thefirstrow looks like a good one.
Damn it, I knew it was wrong, I didn't even check the time zone.
I assumed it would've been ET.
FYI, BeIN and USSoccer and ESPN and FIFA all list the game at 4pm E/3PM C.
Got it. Thanks chad.
I also added a note in the OP indicating the start time of the BeIn Sport broadcast (3:55).
Here are the questions around this match.
1. How much will the heat and humidity affect our players. Dempsey and Bradley have been playing halfway around the world in Wintry Europe. The stadium kickoff will be approaching 90 with 65% humidity.
2. Our lineup will be pretty much as usual. The key questions will be,
a. Will Zusi start over one of Jozy or Herc?
b. Edu or Danny Williams at the 6?
c. Torres or EJ might be the surprise. Torres is used to the heat.
3. Has the armband been passed? Bradley appeared with Klinsmann at the press conference instead of Boca.
4. I expect us to play a very conservative game. Will Honduras press the attack or bunker, as has been proven to be a bit successful in our previous qualifiers?
5. Who are now perceived as the key newcomers off the bench?
6. Only a small chance of a real surprise starter. Who is the preferred new centerback? Besler or Omar. Each has advantages.
7. A tie, here, would be a nice result. Can we pull it off?
Doesn't Torres play in Monterrey? Isn't it pretty normal to play games in 40, 50, or 60 degree weather there in December and January? I'm not sure other Liga MX games are significantly warmer this time of year.
http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Monterrey Mexico MXNL0068
Any bar with the NFL Sunday ticket thing has this channel whether they realize it or not. Also it is starting to become available in more places although I would have to pay $10 a month to pick it up.
Confirmed lineup for Honduras: Noel Valladares; Arnold Peralta, Víctor Bernárdez, Maynor Figueroa, Juan Carlos García; Óscar Boniek García, Roger Espinoza, Luis Garrido, Mario Martínez; Jerry Bengtson, Carlo Costly.
If anyone is looking for a place to watch the match just go to your local Buffalo Wild Wings. Most of them have DirecTV and I'm sure a waitress would put in on if you ask. Just ask for channel 620
Cool beans. The fact that the high temperatures are in the 90s right now is irrelevant when you consider that the high temps were in the 50s a couple weeks ago.
The average high this January was 69 °F. The average low was 49 °F.
My Friends, Did anybody watch the Copa Centro America about a week and a half ago? Can anybody compare the current Honduras Squad with the other squad
Some what similar but the Copa squad was missing some key players. Overall 7 of the 11 starters were in that tournament
what id like to see
dempsey - herc or jozy - ej
bradley - kljestan or jones
williams or edu
fabian - omar - cameron - chandler
i will b mad to see Castillo or Torres
i hope Fabian is 100%
Yay. Just realized that my monthly meeting planning committee has changed to 3:30PM. Does anyone want to sit in on a meeting where people just talk and talk without saying anything. The positive is that you get to take notes!
Streaming it is!!
I think man for man we can beat them 7 out of 10 times. My biggest concern is the weather, it will definitely be to their advantage. They will try to entice us to play up tempo. If we go for it, we will fall right in to their hands. I hope JK has a good game plan.
That means they had a 63% strength squad and they played like crap. Infanct all the teams in the Copa Centro America were mediocre with 1-0 scores
Is there a thread with live stream links somewhere?
Chandler, Cameron, Bocanegra, Johnson;
Williams, Jones, Bradley, Zusi;
Dempsey, Gomez
is this confirmed ?
is that a 4-4-2
or will it go
i prefer the later
Klinsmann will never be able to match the entertainment value of the 2009 match, so the least he can do is match the 3 points.
Separate names with a comma.

Child and Teen Checkups (C&TC)
Lead Poisons Kids: Are your kids at risk?
Adapted from Hennepin County Public Health Protection Environmental Health Services and Oregon Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention materials. Used with permission May 2009.
Printable Brochure (PDF: 166KB/2 pages)
Did you know?
Lead Poisoning is Preventable
Children can get lead in their bodies by breathing or swallowing dust that contains lead. During pregnancy, lead can pass from a mother to her baby. Even small amounts can be harmful. Children are at risk for lead poisoning because lead can slow growth and development. The effects of lead poisoning can be with a child for life.
This brochure contains answers to common questions. Find out where lead hazards can be, if your child is at risk, how to protect your child from lead poisoning, and who you can talk to about lead.
What are the warning signs?
Children can be hurt by lead and may not look or act sick. The danger is hard to see. The only way to know if your child has lead poisoning is to have his or her blood tested.
How can lead poisoning affect my child?
- Brain damage
- Reading and learning problems
- Lowered intelligence
- Behavior problems
- Slowed growth
- Kidney and liver damage
Where do lead hazards come from?
Paint used before 1978 may contain lead. If the paint is chipping, peeling, or chalking it may be a problem.
Lead dust is the main source of lead poisoning. Paint & soil that contain lead can make lead dust. Lead dust mixes with household dust and can gather on surfaces, in carpets and on toys.
Some imported pottery and ceramic cookware have lead in the glaze. Lead can be carried into the home from a workplace (painters, remodelers, radiator repair etc.) or hobbies (stained glass solder, bullets, fishing sinkers, etc.) that use lead.
Some candy from Mexico and some toys from China contain lead. For a information on candy or toys that may contain lead, contact your local or state health department or visit www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/Recalls/.
Soil around homes and apartment buildings can contain lead. Children may come into contact with lead by playing in bare dirt. Lead in the soil may enter vegetables planted in the garden.
Some household plumbing may contain lead solder. Under certain conditions, lead can get into the water if water sits in these pipes.
Is my child at risk for lead poisoning?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, please ask your health care provider for a blood lead test.
How can I protect my child?
Blood Lead Testing
Talk to your health care provider to see if you are at risk for lead exposure during pregnancy. If you are at risk, you may need a blood lead test.
Have your child's blood lead level tested by their health care provider. Children with too much lead in their blood may need more tests.
Regular Washing
Wash children's hands, pacifiers, and toys often to remove dust.
Keep the places where children play clean and dust free. Regularly wetwipe floors, window sills, and other surfaces that may contain lead dust.
A Safer Home
Have children play on grass instead of bare dirt.
Take off shoes when entering a home to avoid tracking in soil that may contain lead.
If you work with lead in your job or hobby, change clothes and shower before you go home.
Healthy Foods
Do not use imported, old, or handmade pottery to store food or drinks. Provide meals high in iron, vitamin C, and calcium which help prevent young bodies from absorbing lead.
Use only cold water for drinking, cooking, or baby formula. Run the water 15-30 seconds until it feels colder.
Who can I ask for more information?
Talk to your local C&TC Coordinator or your child's health care provider for information on getting a blood lead test.

By John J. KruzelAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2008 (Editors Note: This article has been modified from the original form in which it was published. Military editors should use this version and disregard the original.)
With help from a Defense Department committee, issues concerning military women's health care and spouse employment are gaining more attention from policy makers and commanders in the 85-percent male U.S. forces.
Armed with a $500,000 budget, the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services held focus group sessions in 2007 with female troops of varying rank and combat experience at 10 military bases. In an annual report released Jan. 30, the women's committee depicted a U.S. military dealing with gender-specific concerns.
In an interview today, Mary Nelson, the chairwoman of DACOWITS, said she was surprised to discover the level of appreciation female servicemembers expressed after participating in DACOWITS focus groups.
"We tell them the Secretary of Defense has sent us out here to hear your issues," Nelson said. "And I think that means a lot to them that somebody wants to hear what their concerns are, and wants to be sure that their treated fairly and that they're getting a fair chance."
Based on feedback from last year's round of focus groups, DACOWITS has recommended that military medical screenings be retooled to include Pap smears and other women-specific assessments. The group advocates creating pre- and post-deployment medical screening questionnaires designed with females in mind.
For deployed female servicemembers, the most common health risk is urinary tract infection, Nelson said. Though both men and women can contract UTI, physiological differences make women much more vulnerable to UTIs than men.
"They're out on these 10-hour convoys where there is nowhere for (women) to urinate," said Mary Nelson, the chairwoman of DACOWITS. "They can't stop the convoy and get out."
On other feminine health issues, Nelson said that while some problems that arise in the field likely are unavoidable, others could be mitigated or avoided entirely by educating women before deploying. "There are some things that can be addressed, and one of them is the kind of clothing they should wear," she said.
During pre-deployment preparations, many female servicemembers also aren't informed that certain types of birth control are ill-suited for conditions in theater, Nelson said.
"If you take the (birth control) patch, and you're sweating all day, it's not going to stay on," she said. "There's one form of birth control that needs to be refrigerated. Well, they don't have the facilities."
To educate female troops on such issues, the committee is recommending that an instructional manual geared towards female servicemembers that the Army publishes be disseminated more widely. DACOWITS also suggests establishing support outlets that connect females returning from deployments, allowing them to unburden themselves emotionally with other women.
DACOWITS, started in 1951 by Defense Secretary George C. Marshall as a committee tasked with recruiting women for military service, has expanded its scope over the years. The committee now provides advice and recommendations on improving women's experience in the armed forces.
In 2002, the committee's purview extended to include family issues related to recruitment and retention. This year's report advocates initiatives to enhance the satisfaction of military spouses -- the majority of whom are women -- which DACOWITS considers "a retention issue not to be ignored."
A 2006 survey revealed that 77 percent of spouses want to work, although nearly 48 percent were not employed at the time of the survey, according to information published by DACOWITS. Moreover, 73 percent of DACOWITS focus group participants said they were trained for a specific career and more than half of these said they are currently working in the career for which they are trained.
A wide range of programs and support systems are in place for spouses desiring employment, but these are often hidden and unknown to the uninitiated, DACOWITS said. Broader dissemination of information, therefore, is essential to maintaining the satisfaction of servicemember spouses.
Nelson said that soon after arriving at a military base, families are invited to initial briefings which could include information of interest to military spouses, including employment. Spouses, perhaps because they feel unwelcome to attend, generally don't accompany their military husband or wife.
"We ought to get our spouses to come, so we suggested that the military units send out invitations specifically to spouses, and that in that initial briefing they talk about employment opportunities," she said. "Now we're not suggesting that they have to tell them everything that's possible, but at least point them in the (right) direction."

Peter Tort11/30/14I do not recommend renting from a property managed by this company. Although some positive parts of my experience has kept me a tenant for 2 years, the negatives have forced me to look elsewhere. Two major problems include the way in which the contract is written, Grady Management, can change the renter's experience significantly, without notice. After a year into my contract I was forced to accept a new pet policy that allowed pets in the building. During the same time I was forced to accept a new parking policy the required permits, limited parking spaces, and more stringent parking rules. I would have never moved here if I knew about these policies. When I signed the lease, I was agreeing to the policies in place at that time. This is not what I agreed to pay for. Apart of the parking policy was a fee of $100 for someone that lost or damaged their parking sticker. Most recently, I had a bug problem and they quickly attempted assistance, however, the staff only squirted liquid in a few areas of the apartment, which had no effect and the bugs remain. Because of their corporate culture, tenants are expendable i.e. if you are not happy they do not care about it too much.Frank Grimes11/07/13Im still disgusted with Grady 2 and half years after moving out of Belle Haven Towers. Their final year managing BHT was such a disaster that i gladly paid a penatly fee so I could terminate my final lease and move out couple of months early. In fact Grady was fired as property manager and their entire staff was booted by new management right around the time i moved out. Whats sad is that from when I moved into BHT in mid '05-the end of '09, Grady did an ok job managing the place. Sadly at the begining of '10 Grady completely restructured their BHT staff. Competent leasing office staff were replaced with a bunch of dishonest snakes who screwed up in every way possible and treated honest & decent long time residents like myself with seething contempt. Grady's final year at BHT was defined by security cutbacks & a subsequent explosion in crime on the grounds, dishonest advertising, the buildings becoming squalid, the complex being over run with lowlifes, and the leasing office ignoring complaints about the metro shuttle service they hired and it's driver who endangered residents safety with his reckless & careless driving. THere was an also an incident that I would decribe as " the straw that broke the camel's back": A few months before moving, my car was in the shop and i was in a rental for a few days. when i checked with the leasing office, the woman i spoke with gave me false information about recent changes in guest parking rules. As a result, when i parked exactly where she told me to park, my rental was towed, costing me almost $150. Needless to say I was furious but after i took some time to calm down, I called this woman and I as calmly as I could told her I expected an apology and an offer to refund my money. Instead she responded by copping an attitude with me, lying to me about what she had told me the previous day, and hanging up the phone on me. I then went to the leasing office and calmly pressed the issue face to face. When I identified myself as the long time tennent she had spoken too on the phone she walked away from me mid sentence and disappeared into the back office like a coward. As she walked away she said actually said "i dont answer to you"...apparently Grady employees don't answer to the tenants who pay their salaries. Anyways I decided to file an official complaint but because I did not want my security deposit stolen, i waited until i moved. A few months later, once i'd moved and my full security deposit refund cleared, i drafted a detailed complaint letter to Grady's corporate office about her (and a few other things). Before I could send it though learned Grady had been booted and this woman had been fired alogether by new management :) and figured it was pointless to send it in. Looking back my one and only regret about terminating my lease early is that i wasn't there to see her get thrown off the property. In closing - Grady managed to squander 5 years worth of goodwill from me in barely more than a year. About 6 weeks after i moved out, i heard grady had been fired and their staff had been booted by new management and was not surprised. In hindsight, its almost like the grady staff knew they were getting fired, and were vindictively trying to leave as much of a mess as possible for their successors. Avoid Grady's communities at all cost.Sonya Weisburd03/02/13This company's properties are unresponsive, irresponsible, and extremely poorly managed. I would highly advise against renting from any of them, but especially Parkside Terrace Apartments. Ultimately, it is the management company's fault when an insect infestation isn't treated for TWO WEEKS - because the buck has to stop somewhere.armarni beeyitch07/25/14

Product description
Many readers know the tale of Robin Hood, but they will be swept away by this new version full of action, secrets, and romance. Posing as one of Robin Hood's thieves to avoid the wrath of the evil Thief Taker Lord Gisbourne, Scarlet has kept her identity secret from all of Nottinghamshire. Only the Hood and his band know the truth: the agile thief posing as a whip of a boy is actually a fearless young woman with a secret past. Helping the people of Nottingham outwit the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham could cost Scarlet her life as Gisbourne closes in. It's only her fierce loyalty to Robin--whose quick smiles and sharp temper have the rare power to unsettle her--that keeps Scarlet going and makes this fight worth dying for.

By Joanne Levy 29 Feb 2012
I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of this action-packed page-turner and am SO glad I did! I know I'm sucked into a book when all I want to do is phone in sick to work so I can stay home to read, but then kind of don't want to read, because I never want it to end. Scarlet is one of those books. It had everything I want in a read, including a totally kick-butt heroine who doesn't wait around for men to save her, a horrible (and I mean, really, really horrible) villain and a very touching love story between tortured souls who deserve nothing more than to be in love, but who just don't see it themselves. Scarlet is such a complex, well-drawn character, that I identified with her and sort of even wanted to be her because of her amazing skills as the knife-wielding, tree-dwelling member of Robin Hood's band.
I don't know a lot about the Robin Hood stories, but even still, I loved this book and didn't feel like I was missing out on anything because I wasn't well-versed on the legends. I can't wait for this to come out so everyone can read it! Highly recommended!
By SpadesHigh 19 Feb 2012
Scarlet by AC Gaughen is an adventure that will have your heart ripped out of your chest! Both from the thrill-suspense, romance, and pulse stimulating love drama!
It took a while to get a liking to the dialogue at first, but once you get into the rhythm of reading 15th century tongue it couldn't have set the mood better! How it was written had you feeling that you were one of the people of Nottinghamshire or a bandmate of Robin Hood.
The revision that AC Gaughen did for this well known legend has become my favorite version/tellings of the heroic English outlaw Robin Hood. It is so hard trying to say why I like it so much without putting in spoilers, but one major thing that I have to say is having Will Scarlet as a girl/woman made it more worth while especially with that awed open-mouthed twist near the end. Will has always been my favorite from the members of Rob's band because who doesn't fancy a guy whose skilled with knives? It screams sexy to me! =D and for Scarlet to take on that role, it's creative genius! The back history of how she, or shall I say , Will Scarlet came to be is very dramatic and pulling. All in which makes the story all the more juicy!
It is difficult to imagine how girls back then being so one dimensional compared to how woman are now; reasons why I enjoyed and love Scarlet all the more because she has more depth and strives to be an individual. She had me flustered most of the time because she couldn't just spill the beans. While with Robin, I just wanted to clobber him up side the head. With AC Gaughen's retelling of the Hood, I'm sorry Robin but Scarlet is by far my favorite character with John in the running!
Which I would also like to add and say that with Gaughen's version of Little John is the best among the other John Littles out there because he had more layers to his role as well as personality. John also added a huge chunk onto the climactic romance. =)
An AWESOME retelling that you should not pass up!! A MUST READ!

Over the Rainbow
The passion Marge Perry has for all things culinary is obvious when you talk about her cooking program at the Kip's Bay Boys and Girls Club in the Bronx. The club is a nonprofit organization that provides programs and activities for kids from 6 to 18 that "instill a sense of competence, a sense of belonging, and a sense of power and influence," according to their website.
Perry, who started her career in the business world, fell in love with cooking while attending the Institute of Culinary Education at night. She soon transitioned to teaching at a cardiac rehab hospital, training patients on how to cook healthy meals.
From the hospital Marge went to City Harvest, an organization that runs programs in underserved areas. In Cooking Matters, one of their many programs, she taught kids and homeless mothers about nutrition and how to cook.
According to Marge, "It was sort of a happy accident in some ways that I ended up at Kip's Bay." At the time, Kip's Bay did not have any kind of cooking class or serious nutrition instruction. When Marge became aware of the need she asked if she could instruct a class, and the club quickly agreed.
Marge soon realized she had little to work with. Kip's Bay gave her space to work, but beyond that she was on her own. She was surprised by the generosity of people willing to help her acquire the necessary tools. While Marge was in Alaska with a friend from the Copper River Marketing Association, fishermen asked her about the program. "I didn't even ask, they just donated to the program!" Marge said. "They donated not only cans of wild Copper River salmon for the class but enough so that each kid could take a can home. The kids were thrilled." After that she received donations from Oxo for all their tools and knives, while Meyer Corporation donated pots, pans, and portable burners.
"It's really incredible. The generosity of everyone who donated, and the kids themselves are just so inspiring and so great and so much fun to work with," said Perry.
With kids in the class, the program was up and running. The class is for kids nine to 12 and focuses on cooking and nutrition, which Marge feels is necessary for children to learn about early in life.
"Through my work at City Harvest and also through my work as a journalist, I had seen studies and the remarkable results in a person of what happens when kids are exposed to healthier foods and cooking at a young age. When they have an interest in cooking, they make healthier choices and are more thoughtful about what they eat in general. And in this group it's really important that these kids have the opportunity to learn how to take care of themselves well. A lot of this is about being able to take care of yourself, and being good to yourself," said Marge.
The best part for Marge is watching each child's strengths emerge through the program. "Their inner strengths came out. Whatever they are, not necessarily related to food, they were able to express them through cooking."
The program just entered its second phase, working with students from her first class to take their newfound knowledge to the next level. From there, Marge plans to teach another introductory session with a new set of kids.
More equipment is necessary, but for now she is utilizing the generous gifts that have already been given to her. If you are interested in reaching out to Marge and donating to the program, contact her through her blog, asweetandsavorylife.com.

IMO, you're theorizing too much.
You don't catch terrorists by announcing your strategies to them. You have to catch them off-guard. Isn't it obvious that it also means keeping the American public in the dark sometimes as well?
Of course it's risky to put blind trust in your government. Everyone knows that, including me. But if you keep forcing the Government to lay it's cards on the table every time it wants to make a move, we will never catch these guys.
During WWII we sacrificed, too. We gave up certain rations, certain materials, we bought war bonds. This is a different type of sacrifice, and IMO, the most important one if we want to get these guys.
You say we have enough tools. How do you know that? Are you saying we should do less than we can because you're worried that someone might read your e-mails? How ridiculous is that? What is the government going to do with your private e-mails? Do you think they'll do something they shouldn't do to you? What's the big problem here?
I think it's more of the idea of it that bothers you, rather than the practical application. You don't know what they may be doing and you find that unacceptable. I don't find it unacceptable. I find it necessary.

Animated Player Mod Introduction:
- Do you love Minecraft's default animations?
- Are you obsessed with the way the Minecraft player looks and acts?
- Do you wish Minecraft's player would forever look the same way?
Well if you do, then this isn't the mod for you!
After countless hours of working (it wasn't that long), Professor HippoMaster now introduces to you the Animated Player Mod! This mod completely replaces and reanimates the player model by adding more joints and better animations. Also, it's completely client-based, which means it works for servers too (just don't install it into the server)!
- Currently this mod replaces animations for walking, running, swimming, jumping, sneaking, riding, bow-aiming, and blocking.
Face Expression
The player now has his own face! It has the following features that can be configured inside the configuration file in .minecraft/config/AnimatedPlayer.cfg:
- Moving eyes depending on where the player is looking.
- Opening mouth that simulates a breathing animation.
- Eyebrows that become sad when hungry and confident (and angry) when energy-replenished!
Hats now render each pixel individually to make it look better! This can be toggled in the config file. (Still a bit buggy)
Animated Player Mod Screenshots:
Custom Textures
Your own textures work with the mod too! Just color in the right areas specified below, then upload your texture to minecraft.net! However, if you want to change your offline player look, check out the features inside the configuration file in .minecraft/config/AnimatedPlayer.cfg.
- Color in the Eye Overlay 1 to replace the skin at Eye Replacement 1 with animated eyes.
- Color in the Eye Overlay 2 to replace the skin at Eye Replacement 2with animated eyes.
- Color in the Eye Overlay 3 to replace the skin at Eye Replacement 3with animated eyes.
(AKA you can make 2×2 eyes or 2×3 eyes)
Color in the Eyebrows to give the player animated eyebrows above the eyes.
Color in the Mouth to give the player an animated mouth and teeth.
Animated Player Mod Video:
How to install Animated Player Mod:
- Download and install Minecraft Forge
- Download and install AnimationAPI
- Download Animated Player Mod
- Put downloaded zip file into your /.minecraft/mods folder. Do not unzip it. If you don't have a mods folder, create one.
- Done
- Updated to mc1.7.2
- Changed config and added new animateFace option so people having trouble can turn it off
- Added round joints! for arms and legs (still in test mode)
- Mod now depends on AnimationAPI

NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
I have an Abit NF-M2 nView motherboard (got it a few month ago). I've been trying to run FC6 / Mythtv on it. (Athlon64 Dual Core processor running 32 bit kernel, PVR-500, nothing else installed except on-board peripherals)
Here is what happens:
Installation of FC6 went fine, except that I keep getting MP-BIOS Bug, Timer not connected to APIC message
I did search through the forums and have used vairous combinations of acpi_skip_timer_override, acpi_use_timer_override, pci=nommconfig, acpi=off
The system will not boot with nosmp
No matter what I do, the result is the same - machine runs ok for a few hours and at some point at night it hangs. I have some shows scheduled to be recoded at night, so it looks like hangs in the middle of recording a show. In the morning, after reboot, there is a file with an unfinished recording. When the machine hangs, its a hard lock. When I look at the screen, I still see mythtv main screen, but the system in unresponsive. I even tried to recompile the kernel with a "magic sysreq" key enabled. Still hangs, sysreq does nothing.
Another interesting symptom is that sometimes when I try to play music or watch live tv, there is not sounds. All I have to do is restart a playback or exit and re-enter live tv. I have also noticed that network performance, using the built in network card (forcedeth drivers) is very poor
I do have the latest NVIDIA drivers installed, graphics seems to run ok. When I look at /proc/interrupts everything seems to be in order (listing below, this is with pci=nommconfig acpi_use_timer_override, if I dont use the last option, timer interrupt type turns to XT-PIC):
0: 98924 27117704 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 12 20 IO-APIC-edge i8042
8: 0 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc

21: 1597937 51046 IO-APIC-fasteoi nvidia
22: 0 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi ivtv0
Any help would be much appreciated ! I am completely out of ideas.
Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
First of all - thank you for a quick reply ! I did read the thread mentioned above before posting a question - I should have made that clear in my earlier post.
I am running the system with pci=nommconfig all the time. I am running 32 bit kernel, not 64 bit. The only thing I did not try was idle=poll (I will try that tonight and report results), otherwise, the BIOS is flashed to 1.1 (which is the latest version on the ABIT site). I dont see how idle=poll will solve Timer / IOAPIC problem. Is it a problem ? That is, is the following ok :
..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IOAPIC
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A . failed.
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... works.
I get the above if I do anything but acpi_use_timer_override. Using acpi=off produces crashes repeatably within first 10 minutes of video playback.
Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
Part of that sticky post is the requirement that you provide an nvidia-bug-report.log if you believe that you're experiencing a graphics driver problem.
However, based on the dmesg output that you're reported, it sounds like the motherboard BIOS has a number of issues which need to be addressed.
Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
I completely agree - this does not appear to be a graphics driver bug. Keep in mind that this board has NVIDIA NFORCE 430 chipset, I was wondering if there is anything else I can do. I also would like to hear from other people with the same chipset if they had any luck with similar setup. Contacting ABIT provided no help ...
P.S. idle=poll did not help, the system still crahes in the middle of recording a show.
Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
I had been using MythDora 1.3.2 (FC5) on a dual-Opteron MB which was becoming semi-flaky. I just switched to an ABIT NF-M2 yesterday (w/Athlon 3800+ X2 (65w), PC5300 1GB RAM). I can't even get through the installer. Its failure path starts with:
Starting udev: Disabling IRQ #10
Wait timeout. Will continue in the background [FAILED].
(that's booting using acpi=off)
If I don't get it working quickly, it goes back to NewEgg.
HTH - Michael
Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
Yeah, I've seen that. Using acpi=off or nosmp makes this board completely unusable. I still cant beleive how horrible abit support is ... Too bad I waited too long, so now I cant return the board.
Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
Why do you have to turn ACPI off?
It seems to have a good DSDT (unlike the early incarnations of the Asus A8N-CSM board). At least Knoppix seems to detect its ACPI capabilities correctly...
Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
It's not a distribution problem. It seem that either NFORCE 430 has a broken ACPI implementation or ABIT did not implement ACPI BIOS support correctly (I think its the second one ...) When you turn ACPI off, you force the kernel to fall back on earlier methods of interrupt and device management - this sometimes helps ...
Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
Just an update.
I think the motherboard is OK. I am guessing that my problems must be sw (distro) related. I started using FC6 & setting up mythtv manually (rather than using MythDora or knoppmyth).
I haven't had *any* weirdness yet (strange errors, hangs, or reboots). mythtv is not fully setup; I am running mythtvsetup right now. But the ATSC card is finding QAM stations.
