"The poignant story of one mans ride in faith"
So many hunger in so many ways for the connection with God. What it truly is and means despite our shortcomings. How do we know if and when we are truly connected, especially in our darkest times? All of us ask these questions despite our prayers and sitting in church on Sundays. The answer is this; you live the connection with your life, and you will "Know beyond all knowing" when you're connected and when you're not. Come ride with a someone who found his way back home. A deeply moving story of one mans connection with God.

The Challenger Homes Difference
Who buys a Challenger Home? Families looking to upgrade and wanting more house to call home. They're our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Moms and Dads looking for good homes in the right neighborhoods with exceptional schools for their children. First-time homebuyers giddy with excitement over every lick of paint and strip of sod. Folks whose kids are grown and are looking to right-size. Families coping with a family member with a disability. Returning combat veterans. Single moms looking for an affordable home.
A Challenger Home is different. A Challenger Home makes life better.
Sometimes it's the extras like better quality decking or wider baseboards. Often, it's the little things one may not even notice like 6" exterior walls and higher rated insulation. In every facet of every home the commitment is clear. Making life better by offering outstanding value, building more house to call home, designed around the customer at an affordable price and constructed by a builder you can trust. That's making life better. That's Challenger Homes!
From the simple approval process with a Challenger preferred lender, to that magical day when a Challenger executive hands over the keys to that brand new home, Challenger is constantly seeking to make each stage within the experience a delight. Challenger listens and cares, designing homes with customers in mind, not fancy awards for show and tell.
Every decision. Every home design. Every Challenger neighborhood. Every process or system. Every employee and trade partner. All focused on one simple idea. Making Life Better.
History of Challenger Homes
Founded in 2000 by Brian and Heather Bahr, Challenger Homes has grown into one of Colorado Spring's premier and best-selling homebuilders through adherence to strong core values and plenty of elbow grease and hard work.
From humble beginnings in a family garage all the way to the #1 Colorado Springs builder in 2011 and again this year, 2015. Challenger Homes has maintained a consistent commitment to one central idea: making life better. More than just a homebuilder, Challenger seeks to make life better for customers, trade partners, employees, investors, and the community.
Now, in 2015, a growing staff and the best trade partners' team in town are making life better by offering affordable, high-quality homes in dozens of different designs in eleven unique neighborhoods across El Paso County.
Challenger offers a diverse product line, from ¼ acre lots in Monument to just outside Fort Carson Gate 20 in Fountain, from the best D-20 schools in northern Colorado Springs to great value along the Powers corridor. No matter what part of town a family desires or the price point they can afford, Challenger Homes has a neighborhood ideal for them.
Over the years, Challenger has sold a lot of homes, in a lot of different designs, to a lot of different people. However, the core principle hasn't changed. Making life better by offering outstanding value, building more house to call home, designed around the customer at an affordable price and constructed by a builder one can trust.
From the beginning until now, our 15th Anniversary, Challenger has been proudly serving Colorado Springs and making life better...one home at a time.
Challenger Homes. Making Life Better.

If MySQL pointer was allocated by mysql_init(), and you plan to reuse the connection descriptor, then it is important to set it to NULL after mysql_close(), otherwise the next init will think it's already allocated, then the next the call for mysql_real_connect() will SEGFAULT.
At least, that's what happened to me.

Marseilles, Ill. (April 27, 2014) — Operators at LaSalle County Generating Station took Unit 2 offline on Sunday, April 27, at midnight to perform scheduled maintenance on the condenser, a piece of equipment that condenses steam back to water for reuse in the plant. While the unit is offline, additional maintenance activities will be performed to ensure safe and reliable operation during the remainder of the operating cycle. There will be no impact to area customers during this outage. LaSalle Unit 1 will continue to supply electricity to the area while Unit 2 is offline.

Dear Friends,
My name is Jay and I am the owner of Sage Meditation.
I founded Sage Meditation because I wanted to be independent of the corporate world where I had worked for so much of my adult life. As has happened for many of us, my jobs came and went on a regular basis. My last job was suddenly deemed "not necessary" and I was once again unemployed.
When I decided to go into business, I knew that it had to be something I was passionate about and it had to be ethical. I wondered if I could make a living supporting meditation practice. I found some great companies with my goals and interests at heart. Together, we've created Sage Meditation.
I believe my personal meditation practice began when I was just a child. I grew up in Central Wisconsin and was generally not unlike any other Midwestern boy climbing trees, playing with my siblings, my friends and my little terrier, Bonnie, and building snow forts during the long, cold winters. But I regularly found myself seeking small, quiet spaces and just sitting, listening to the silence, and feeling so content.
Sometimes my mother would come looking for me. You know how mothers worry when the kids are too quiet. When she found me she would ask, "What are you doing?" I would sheepishly reply, "I don't know". But I couldn't tell her how happy I was in my quiet little space, because I really didn't know what I was doing.
My meditation practice formally began in 1998 when a friend of mine introduced me to the Correspondence Course through Siddha Yoga. A year later I attended my first Satsang in a Siddha Yoga Meditation Center. I enjoy the chanting and the talks by Gurumayi Chidvilasananda. But, most of all, I enjoy the meditation.
I practice meditation daily at home. I read and study books about spirituality and meditation by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Krishnamurti, Pema Chodron, Eckhart Tolle, Thich Nhat Hahn, Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, and many others. Of course, one does not become enlightened simply by reading books. But I believe that studying the thoughts of enlightened beings has certainly enriched my life. In the end, it has been my meditation practice that has enriched me the most and to which I have always been dedicated.
I eventually left the Siddha Yoga group as I felt a calling back to my Christian roots. I sing tenor in our choir and Compline group (Gregorian-style chant) at Luther Memorial Church. It's a beautiful place with many opportunities to continue my contemplative spiritual practice.
Being in business for myself has been a difficult struggle. At first I didn't make enough money to support myself, so I had to take part time and temporary jobs in order to pay the bills. The business has grown, though, and affords me a comfortable lifestyle. As I write this little autobiography, we are just seeing signs of recovery from the long recession that began in 2008.
Every day I work to grow the business and I have some great ideas in the wings. I have one half-time employee to help with shipping, inventory management, and QuickBooks entry. The expense of an employee, inventory overhead, and additional space has held profitability and cash flow to a minimum. I'm certain many small businesses go through these same struggles. Still, this work is fulfilling and I wouldn't consider going back to the corporate world.
The really great part is that I have met so many wonderful people in this business. Many of our customers are eager to share their experiences with me. My discussions with them have helped me grow and I have been so grateful to know each of these divine beings. Sure, some of them have been difficult – unable to decide what they want, wanting orders to arrive sooner than possible, and returning items, which truthfully is quite costly to merchants. But these experiences have their value too. As the comedic yet wise Swami Beyondananda put it, "Life is sometimes like photography; we develop from the negatives."
It is for these people that I am also working to develop a meditation community around Sage Meditation. We have a thriving Facebook community. I don't just advertise our products. I try to educate people on the products and meditation. I also try to bring some wisdom and, occasionally, humor to the page. You can find us at http://www.facebook.com/sagemeditation. Feel free to "Like" us.
I hope this little autobiography has given you a fair introduction to me, Jay, the small business owner and practicing meditator. I've enjoyed sharing a bit of myself with you and hope that, someday, you will share a bit of yourself with me. I'm the guy who answers the phone here and that has really allowed me to be in touch with my customers. There will come a day when I hand that task off to someone whom I hope will be happy to work here, but I hope I never lose touch with my customers – the ones who really make this all possible.
Thank you very much for reading.
Sincerely Yours,
Jay Suthers

A Lou Rawls Christmas
By: Legacy.com Staff
3 years ago
Lou Rawls performs at The Coconut Club in 1998. (AP Photo / Jill Connelly)
Frank Sinatra once said that Lou Rawls had "the classiest singing and silkiest chops in the singing game." That velvety voice sounds good all year long, but never quite as wonderful as during the holidays.
Rawls, who died of cancer Jan. 6, 2006, would have turned 80 today. And what better way to celebrate this December baby's life than to listen to a few of his greatest Christmas songs? Rawls released several Christmas albums, beginning with 1967's Merry Christmas! Ho! Ho! Ho!...
Rawls made holiday classics swing like never before…
…And he added his own flair to modern favorites.
Even if Christmas isn't your holiday of choice, there's a Lou Rawls song for you.

Submission Minneapolis Airport Installing 1800 high-definition surveillance cameras->
bzzfzz writes: The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is beginning a $20 million dollar upgrade of its surveillance system. The upgrade will include 1800 high-definition cameras, facial recognition systems, and digital archiving to replace the analog tape system in use since the 1980s. The system will serve both security and operational goals. The MAC asserts that improved camera technology yields improved security as though the connection between the two is so strong that no proof is required.

Just like most people, Smarterflo product designer Dotan Saguy loves the iPhone. But as any good mobile accessories designer should, he's always looking for ways to make life easier. Enter the Smarter Stand for iPhone. Simple and ingenious, this new iPhone accessory from Starterflo is one of best ideas we've seen lately, solving two of the little issues we've all had with the iPhone for some time.
In a video for Kickstarter, where Smarterflo is trying to raise $15,000 to get the Smarter Stand made, Saguy explains how he first thought up his new design:
"There's two things that have been bugging me for years about the iPhone. The first one is, to try to prop it up against something is nearly impossible. The second thing is, when I try to bring my earbuds out of my pocket, to try to tangle them out is just a nightmare."
But Saguy realized that using the iPhone's headphone plug could allow him to make an easily portable kickstand that didn't require a case for the device and didn't add any bulk. The result is a new, minialistic iPhone stand that plugs into the headphone jack while also allowing you to use your headphones and while keeping them tangle free.
To call the Smarter Stand a desktop stand is a little hyperbolic, since the accessory is so small you can slip it in your pocket and take it from place to place with you, another clever feature of this accessory. And, aside from acting as a spool for tangle-free earbuds, it works with or without a case and is compatible with both iPhone and iPod Touch.
This isn't the first stroke of genius to come out of Smarterflo. The company launched their Smarter Stand for iPad only this past June on Kickstarter, to amazing response and great success. And we at Pure Mobile have a feeling they're in for even greater things with their amazingly simple and exceedingly clever new iPhone accessory.

Should Price City encounter a problem with contaminated water or a shortage of water, the city is ready in the event a problem arises.
At the Price City Council meeting on July 28, Councilman Jeff Nielson posed the question of how long could Price City go without a source of water, using only the city's water tanks. Gary Sonntag, public works director with Price City, said that Price City could go between two and a half to three days without a source, providing all outside watering be cut off.
Extra water is needed during the summer months to help supplement the usage of water with people watering their lawns and washing their cars.
Currently the average daily water usage in Price is about five million gallons, said Mayor Joe Piccolo. The city has two water tanks in service which have space for a total 13 million gallons of water. On average the city has about seven and a half to eight million gallons in the tanks, Sonntag said.
"Our aim is to keep the tanks as full as possible because of things like fire protection and backup for unforeseen situations," Sonntag said.
Over the last two weeks, Price City has been fighting some turbidity issues not because of mud, but because of a weird algae bloom that is causing the impact, said Sonntag. The algae bloom is causing the water to turn a blue and green color. The effort to treat water and get it up to approved standards and down the pipes to the city is an ever present challenge, Sonntag said.
The problem has been hard to treat because of how small the algae are. Finding the right combination and dosages of cleaning solution has been a challenge. The process to clean out the algae from the water works when a cleaning solution is added with the solution latching onto the algae through the process of coagulation. The coagulation process collects the algae particles and drops them to the bottom, not allowing them to flow through the system.
On July 30, a solution was found to work well against the algae and the following day there was evidence that more water was filtering through the system, increasing the water levels in the storage tanks, Sonntag said.
Also adding to the problem are the recent rainstorms within the area. The rainstorms bring down a lot of sediment with it, causing more turbidity in the water "compounding the problem," Sonntag said.
Mayor Piccolo was questioning whether or not the algae bloom was coming from Scofield. Sonntag said he did not know for sure but he has inquired about the issue and is awaiting a response back. Dealing with algae is nothing new as it is a common occurrence in the late summer months, he said.
Sonntag proposed the idea of reeducating the community about wise water usage during the Price City Council meeting last week. Not wasting water and knowing how often and how long to water lawns are some of the key components, he said.
"We need to practice that here in Price," Sonntag said. "We have before and we need to continue with that."
The two- to three-day supply figure also applies to the Price River Water Improvement District. Manager Jeff Richens said that the supply depends on Price City being able to back up PRWID, just as PRWID would be able to help Price if the need arose.
That short time limit applies to summer time use only, when demand is high for lawn watering.
Richens said having too much water storage capacity could be a problem in itself. During colder months, when demand for outdoor watering drops, water could sit in tanks for a long time and grow stale.

As the Army studies the effects of cutting potentially thousands of soldiers at Fort Drum, U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer said Wednesday that the post should avoid major reductions.
Instead, the 10th Mountain Division should be the face of the service, as it transitions to become a lighter, more agile force.
Fort Drum has to be at the heart of what our armed services hopes to become, he said.
The senator addressed media and a collection of post advocates and elected officials at Watertown City Hall on Wednesday afternoon, saying he would fight tooth and nail to maintain high personnel levels at Fort Drum.
The Armys study, announced by the post Monday, will evaluate how the area would be affected by cutting an additional 14,500 soldiers at the post, in addition to the 1,500 soldiers scheduled to be lost with the deactivation of the divisions 3rd Brigade Combat Team.
Dozens of other posts nationwide will also be studied for potential cuts.
The study is based around a worst-case scenario of sequestration remaining in effect in 2016, which would prompt the force to reduce its size to about 420,000 soldiers. The Army currently has about 520,000 soldiers, and in its newly proposed 2015 budget would be pared to between 440,000 and 450,000 soldiers.
Sen. Schumer said the idea of losing a large number of soldiers at Fort Drum was completely off base.
He said people should worry about the study, but not panic or think that cuts are a foregone conclusion.
They are not, he said.
One key to fighting against the local cuts will be for state and congressional officials to work together to show the posts importance to top military officials, he said.
Sen. Schumer said his relationship with Defense Secretary Charles Hagel and Army Secretary John McHugh, a north country native, will also help Fort Drums cause. The senator said one of the first things he discussed with Mr. Hagel during his confirmation process was the importance of the post.
He also said the posts soldiers and resources made it easier to argue in support of the post, compared with those lobbying against cuts at other installations.
Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick, chairwoman of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators, said she was thinking most about the posts military families.
Many of those families say theyve gone from base to base; whether theyve lived on-base or off-base, theyve never found a community they care so much about like what we have here at Fort Drum, she said.
And that cares so much about them, Sen. Schumer added.
Sen. Schumer also repeated his request for the Army to finalize a 20-year contract with ReEnergy Holdings LLC. The service announced its intention to award the contract in February.
Asked about rail safety, Sen. Schumer said lawmakers should require upgrades to DOT-111 train cars, which are frequently used to transport crude oil and other hazardous materials, and have recently had safety problems.

MASSENA - Economic development officials plan to stick with their architect consultant throughout their efforts to revitalize downtown Massena.
The Greater Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena board voted at their last meeting to sign an approximately $18,000 contract to retain Rick Hauser of In. Site Architecture as the consultant for the implementation of a $250,0000 state grant to help improve the facades of downtown businesses in Massena.
Board member Larry Ralston could not provide information on the duration of the contract, but said he expects the BDC to retain Mr. Hauser throughout the entire grant process, which has a deadline of two years.
(Mr.) Hauser has had experience doing this for businesses in Western New York. He knows what hes doing, and hes the man to do it, Mr. Ralston said. (And) with him being on for the entire project, well have stability, consistency and well all be on the same wavelength.
Mr. Hauser will assist the BDCs effort by processing and reviewing forms that must be completed by business owners interested in utilizing the grant money. The grant stipulates business owners must match whatever grant funding they receive for facade improvements to their buildings. Former economic developer Jason A. Clark has said downtown Massena could see as much as $2 million in improvements between the grant money and owner contributions.
Thirty-five business owners, occupying 19 different downtown buildings, have signed letters of commitment indicating they will participate in the program if Massena receives the funds.
Mr. Ralston said Mr. Hauser will have to review hundreds, maybe thousands, of pages of reports on how these business owners plan to utilize the grant money. (The BDC) would be overwhelmed without him, Mr. Ralston said.
The board also approved a motion to sign an additional contract at its next meeting to hire Mr. Hauser for the next phase of efforts to develop a Main Street LLC, a group of local investors who pool their resources to revitalize downtown buildings.
Bringing a group together minimizes the risk for any one investor, Mr. Hauser said. The approximately $31,000 contract would retain Mr. Hauser for another year on that project.
We havent signed (the contract), but weve approved it, Mr. Hauser said.
At a previous board meeting, BDC board members discussed two possible locations for the proposed Main Street LLC - the Sunrise Mallat 48-50 Main St., and the Massena School of Business, near the corner of Main and Andrews streets.
The next phase of the project will involve seeking potential investors and identifying the pros and cons of potential LLC sites.
Mr. Hauser will be meeting with local business leaders and putting together an actual strategic plan, board Chairman Daniel S. Pease said. (This includes) identifying investors, identifying buildings and identifying the rehabilitation needs of the building.
The next phase of Mr. Hausers role in the LLC project will begin once the BDC approves his contract. BDC board members hope Mr. Hauser will be able to find investors for the LLC during that time.
Were hoping that through meetings and public education that we get some actual investors for the LLC, Mr. Pease said. (We hope) that not only will this LLC form, but that people will join it and invest in it, and choose a building and a business for that building, and renovate that building to get that business open.

The Fire's summer friendly opponents and Team for the World alliance partners Club America took a further step to their first domestic crown since 2005, defeating Monterrey 2-1 (and 4-3 on aggregate) in leg two of the Liga MX semifinals Saturday night at the Estadio Azteca.
In leg one last Wednesday, Ecuadorian international Christian Benitez continued his exploits from the weekend's 2-1 victory over Pumas UNAM, scoring both goals in the team's 2-2 draw at Monterrey.
That result set the stage for Saturday's match, which saw America take the advantage just after the hour mark. In the 62nd minute, Aguilas midfielder Ruben Sambueza was brought down on the right side of the area by Monterrey defender Leobardo Lopez, forcing referee Jorge Antonio Perez to point to the spot.
A minute later, Aguilas striker Raul Jimenez placed his effort past Jonathan Orozco into the lower left netting to give America a 1-0 lead and 3-2 aggregate advantage.
The home side pretty much iced the series 19 minutes later after a Monterrey giveaway at midfield. Jimenez and Benitez quickly broke out in a give and go before the Ecuadorian was slipped into the box and finished past Ibarra for the 2-0 lead and 4-2 advantage.
The goal was Benitez' fifth in four playoff matches.
Los Rayados pushed late and pulled one back deep into second half stoppage time. Substitute Guillermo Madrigal settled in the box, turned and forced a diving stop out of Moises Munoz before striker Aldo de Nigris finished from close range.
The goal to the aggregate score to 4-3 but the referee blew the whistle soon after, advancing America to the Liga MX Clasura finals against Cruz Azul.
Leg one of the finals will be played at Estadio Azul in Mexico City on Thursday with the return leg at Estadio Azteca on Sunday.
The Chicago Fire take on Club America in an international friendly on Wednesday, July 10 at Toyota Park.
Atletico de Madrid takes Copa del Rey title
Atletico Madrid over came a 25-match winless run against city rivals Real Madrid and a 1-0 deficit to win the Copa del Rey 2-1 in extra time at the Santiago Bernabeu on Friday night.
Real Madrid took the early lead when Cristiano Ronaldo rose above the rest to head home a corner kick in the 14th minute.
Atletico would respond 21 minutes later when Radamel Falcao did yeoman's work at midfield before springing Diego Costa between two Madrid defenders. The Brazilian fired from the top of the penalty area and beating 'keeper Diego Lopez inside the left post.
You could see Real Madrid begin to come undone in the 75th minute when manager Jose Mourinho was sent off for leaving the technical area to argue a play.
Fifteen minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo kicked Atletico defender Juanfran but the offense went unnoticed and the teams went to extra time level at 1-1.
Atletico would find the game-winner off a corner. Koke's take from the right was headed straight back to him but he whipped in another ball which found the head of Brazilian defender MIranda to beat Diego Lopez inside the near post.
The wheels came off for Real Madrid when Ronaldo was sent off following a scuffle at midfield in the 115th minute.
Shortly thereafter the referee blew the whistle, confirming Atletico's 2-1 triumph. The victory gave the club its 10th Copa del Rey title and first since 1996.
Our Team for the World partner Club America took a big step towards their first domestic title since 2005, defeating Pumas UNAM 2-1 in the second leg of the Liga MX Clasura quarterfinals on Saturday at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
Heading into the match, America already held a 1-0 aggregate lead after Raul Jimenez struck in the 28th minute of the first leg on Wednesday.
Pumas pulled the series level by virtue of Robin Ramirez' classy one-time volley past Moises Munoz in the 21st minute.
Club America would re-take the lead as Ecuadorian international Christian Benitez finished from close range following a redirected shot in the 56th minute.
With the hosts already looking like they'd advance, Benitez put the final nail in the coffin deep into second half stoppage time, beating Pumas 'keeper Miguel Palacios inside the post to clinch a 3-1 aggregate victory.
With the win, Club America moves on to the Liga MX Clasura semifinals and will vist Montrerrey in Wednesday's first leg before welcoming los Rayados to the Azteca for leg two Saturday night.
The Chicago Fire face Club America in an international friendly on Saturday, July 10 at Toyota Park.
With only one Chicago Fire player away on international duty, this could have been a very short international wrap.
Taking a different angle, my aim is to show the international nature of the current roster by recapping how all of the first team player's national sides did in World Cup qualification Friday night…
Uruguay – Called back to Uruguay for the first time in a while, midfielder Alvaro Fernandez was an unused sub, watching from the sidelines as a Lionel Messi brace led Argentina to a 3-0 win over La Celeste in Mendoza.
Flaco and Uruguay remain in fourth place in CONMEBOL qualification and will hope to rebound on Tuesday when they travel to La Paz for a match against second from bottom Bolivia.
USA – The Fire's American contingent might have been biting their finger nails much of Friday night as Juergen Klinsmann's side eeked out a late 2-1 victory at Antigua & Barbuda. Making his first national team appearance since 2010, forward Eddie Johnson nodded the U.S. ahead in the 20th minute before Antigua's Dexter Blackstock equalized five minutes later.
With the U.S. looking disjointed for much of the second half, Johnson would reward Klinsmann's confidence in him by heading home U.S. debutant Alan Gordon's 90th minute cross to give the American's a 2-1 win.
That victory combined with Guatemala's 2-1 win over Jamaica (in which former Fire midfielder Marco Pappa played 68 minutes) means the Americans and los Chapines sit tied on 10 points and need only a draw against each other on Tuesday for both teams to advance to next year's final round hexagonal.
Costa Rica – In the Group B rubber match, Fire defender Gonzalo Segares got an early birthday present as Jose Cubero's 31st minute goal stood to give Costa Rica a valuable 1-0 victory away to El Salvador.
With the win, los Ticos return to San Jose needing only to defeat a lowly Guyana side that has taken just one point from five matches in order to advance.\. Costa Rica defeated Guyana 4-0 during their earlier group game played in Georgetown.
Mexico – Already qualified for the final round, Pavel Pardo and Guillermo Franco might have looked on Friday night to see Javier Hernandez, Oribe Peralta, Andrew Guardado and Angel Reyna strike to help Mexico batter Guyana 5-0 in Houston.
They'll close out the semifinal round Tuesday night against El Salvador in Torreon.
The Netherlands – Former Dutch youth international Sherjill MacDonald may or may not have watched as Rafael Van der Vaart, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Reuben Schaken eased the Dutch to a 3-0 victory over Andorra in Rotterdam.
The victory keeps Holland with a perfect nine points through three matches in UEFA's Group D ahead of the team's visit to also perfect Romania Tuesday in Bucharest.
Germany – Arne Friedrich was probably grinning from ear to ear Friday afternoon as Die Mannschaft demolished the Republic of Ireland 6-1 in Dublin. Germany got braces from Marco Reus and Toni Kroos as well as single strikes from Miroslav Klose and Mesut Oezil in the win.
Sitting alone atop Group C with a perfect 9 points from three matches, the Germans return to face second-place Sweden in Berlin on Tuesday.
Italy – Paolo Tornaghi's Azzuri had a little trouble in the first half but eventually overpowered Armenia 3-1 in Yerevan. Andrea Pirlo put the Italians ahead with an 11th minute penalty before Henrigh Mkhitaryan equalized in the 28th, taking the teams into the break at 1-1.
Italy would respond with two goals in the second half through Daniele De Rossi (64') and Pablo Osvaldo (82') to earn the three road points.
The victory keeps the Italians on top of UEFA Group B with seven points ahead of Tuesday's clash with Denmark in Milan.

Read: Another Story On The Other Side Of John Tortorella
In a 2009 article in the Tampa Tribune, Joe Henderson tells a story of how John Tortorella had an impact on a family going through a tough time in Tampa Bay.
Henderson writes of the Reeves family in Tampa Bay and how14 year old Jacob had bone cancer.
Mrs. Reeves says that one day Tortorella called up the family and brought over the Stanley Cup.
Mrs. Reeves says of Torts, "When I see John, I see compassion. I see a heart that John has away from hockey. He says he has to be one way with his players to get the most of out of them, but he's different with his friends."

Video: A glimpse at history, the 1904 Brooklyn Handicap
It's not often one gets a chance to see actual footage of a horse race conducted more than 100 years ago, particularly one as big as the Brooklyn Handicap. A YouTube upload by TigerRocket of the 1904 running of that race at Gravesend, Coney Island, Brooklyn provides a glimpse into history.
Surprisingly clear for its age, the American Biograph & Mutoscope film clip is reminiscent of an early D.W. Griffith production. Particularly interesting is the beginning scene, where throngs of people pour out onto and across the racetrack at the start of the post parade.
The actual racing segment lasts two minutes, and the race was won by The Picket, trained by Carroll B. Reid and owned by Waldeck Stable.

Hi Guys ,
Does anyone know some open source or free payment gateways , if not free than very cheap one?
Basically have online gallery web - project, where you can buy now , or negotiate and then buy a product.
Once it goes to 'buy now' then the payment should be processed.
PayPal is not suitable for auction (many sellers to many buyers). Any other ideas?
Thank you,

Monday, June 17, 2013
By Andrea Sok and Joseph Andrew Lee
It's a rare occasion to see some of the nation's best country songwriters backed by one of the East Coast's best symphony orchestras. That's exactly what happened on June 14, in celebration of Flag Day, when Boston welcomed Nashville's Music City Hit-Makers Brett James, Hillary Lindsey and Gordie Sampson to Symphony Hall for a patriotic performance with the Boston Pops in front of more than 200 military and community supporters.
"Tonight we not only honor our nation's flag on Flag Day, but also those who stand to defend it," Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart told the audience. "Seldom have we been tested more than we have been recently and we have been reminded how precious our freedom is. This freedom so treasured by all of us."
Friday was also the Army's birthday and the 20th anniversary of the Battle of Mogadishu, the engagement made famous in the book and film "Black Hawk Down." USO tour veteran and country music artist Keni Thomas, a decorated combat veteran of the 75th Ranger Regiment, fought in that historic battle. Since leaving the military, he has given back with more than 100 appearances, including six tours with the USO.
"When you go over there you know it's going to be a 'thank you' fest, you know, 'Thank you for your service, thank you for everything you do,' but it really changes you," Thomas said. "For the USO to give us that opportunity … we're so very proud to represent America and all of you. Thank you for donating to the USO and making it possible for us to go over there."
After Thomas performed the "Star-Spangled Banner," the Pops performed other classical patriotic scores like "America the Beautiful," as well as music from Boston Pops alumnus John Williams' score for the film "Lincoln." The Music City Hit-Makers, who collectively have composed more than 20 Billboard-charting singles, performed a selection of their tops hits, sharing the stories behind how each song was born.
"It was an amazing experience to be here with the Boston Pops, first off, but to have that attached to playing for the USO and the incredible military people who serve for us was over the top – an over the moon experience – so thank you for having us," Lindsey said.
"It is an amazing night when you can bring together the Boston Pops and Nashville's best to perform for our heroes on Flag Day," said Alan Reyes, USO Senior Vice President of Operations. "We are so grateful to the greater Boston community for their support of our troops."
Servicemen and women from all branches of the military attended, and proceeds will benefit the USO New England, which serves more than 40,000 troops and military families each year.

10 Times Keith Richards Almost Died
The old joke goes that after the nuclear apocalypse, all that will remain are cockroaches and Keith Richards. In our list of 10 Times Keith Richards Almost Died, the Rolling Stone survives drug addiction, fires, poison, stage accidents, the Hells Angels, libraries and palm trees to somehow reach a ripe old age. For every one of Keef's actual brushes with death, there are a dozen myths, but this list of the times that the Stone nearly stopped rolling includes only those incidents that have at least a kernel of truth to them.
London Bombings
Bet you didn't expect to see Adolf Hitler on the list of 10 Times Keith Richards Almost Died. Richards almost didn't make it out of infancy, thanks to the 1944 Nazi bomb raids over London. During the height of the raids, Richards and his mom evacuated to a region that was out of the line of fire. When things died down, they returned to find that some of their neighbors had been killed and that baby Keith's cot had been blown up by V-1 bomb. Richards would later offer this bit of revisionist history: "Hitler dumped one of his V-1's on my bed! He was after my ass, you know that!"
Nearly Electrocuted Onstage
Only a couple of years into the Stones' five-decade career, the band almost lost one of their prime creative forces. While playing a gig in Sacramento, the group launched into "The Last Time," and Richards approached the microphone to sing his backing part. It was facing the wrong way, so he attempted to knock it with the neck of his guitar – which resulted in a near-fatal shock. In a blue flash, Richards was knocked unconscious, his guitar strings burned from the accident. Richards later called the incident his "most spectacular" moment and credited his salvation to a new pair of boots with thick rubber soles.
Altamont Anarchy
After watching Gimme Shelter, the gripping Rolling Stones documentary, you'd be amazed that anyone made it out of Altamont alive. Upon arriving at this hastily organized free concert, Mick Jagger was punched in the head. Violence erupted throughout the Stones' set, forcing them to stop and restart songs. A fan in the audience died after pulling a gun on a member of the Hells Angels, who were being used as some semblance of a security force. Altercations continued to plague the event, which is often contrasted with Woodstock's "peace and love" vibe. After the show, the Stones got away in a helicopter, only to learn later about the murder that had occurred. Three other accidental deaths happened. Richards' immediate reaction to the event was, "on the whole, a good concert."
Bed Fire at Nellcote
Richards and his girlfriend Anita Pallenberg almost met an untimely end during the making of 1972's Exile on Main St. During sessions for the double LP, mostly recorded at Richards's rented villa Nellcote in the south of France, Richards and Pallenberg were deep in the throes of heroin addiction. Richards had a penchant for passing out, sometimes with the needle still in his arm or – on this occasion – a lit cigarette in his hand. The bed went up in flames, and Richards and Pallenberg woke up just in time to escape before being burned to a crisp. It wouldn't be the last time that Richards played with fire.
Redlands Estate Fire
Given his habit of nodding off while smoking, our list of 10 Times Keith Richards Almost Died could include just fiery tales. Topping them is this incident, when a doped-up Richards allegedly set his Redlands estate ablaze. Many people claim that one of Richards' still-burning cigarettes was to blame again, but in his autobiography 'Life,' Richards writes that the fire was caused by a mouse that ate through the wiring. Regardless, the fire spread to the home's thatched roof as Richards, Pallenberg and their kids ran to safety, but then he returned to drag the most expensive possessions out of the house. There are famous photos that document the aftermath, including one of Richards sitting on the lawn on top of a stroller ... smoking, of course.
Strychnine in Switzerland
Richards has always maintained that, despite his reputation, he was a relatively responsible drug addict and that the only times he got in serious trouble was when he got high with people he didn't trust. Richards later told NME about his worst drug experience: "Someone put strychnine in my dope, it was in Switzerland," he said. "I was totally comatose but I was totally awake. I could listen to everyone, and they were like, 'He's dead, he's dead!' waving their fingers and pushing me about, and I was thinking, 'I'm not dead!'"
Blood Change
One of rock's great myths is that by 1973, Richards' blood had become so toxic that a specialist performed an experimental procedure in which the rocker traded all of his dirty blood for some clean pints. While the blood swap is probably untrue (Richards has admitted he spun the rumor mill himself), there is some evidence to support that he had his blood filtered in Switzerland in 1973. According to some sources, the guitarist underwent hemodialysis that allowed toxic substances to be removed from his body so they wouldn't do further damage to his kidneys. Allegedly, Richards had to be put to sleep for a couple days for the procedure. Hopefully, the doctors reminded him to put his cigarette out first.
Library Tumble
To think that after all the drugs and careless living, Richards was almost undone by a bunch of heavy books. He has recounted the tale many times: He was in his home library, standing on a chair to reach a book about Leonardo da Vinci's study of anatomy when he slipped. Many tomes came pouring down on top of him. The accident resulted in three broken ribs for Richards and a tour postponement for his band. "It was one of those moments where you have to make a decision: take it in the ribs or take a shot in the temple on the desk," he remembered. "All part of life's rich pageant."
Fiji Fall
In 2006 Richards took a tumble from a palm tree while he was on vacation with his and Ronnie Wood's families on the island of Fiji. Although initial reports indicated that he had taken a nasty knock after falling from a 40-foot tree, Richards later revealed that he fell from no more than seven feet. In Life, he wrote that he had been swimming and his wet hands caused him to slip from a branch, land on the ground and hit his head on the trunk. Although Richards didn't think anything serious had occurred, a "blinding headache" two days later forced him to seek medical attention. As it turned out, Richards had fractured his skull and the accident required brain surgery – along with another Rolling Stones tour delayed.
Snorting Dad
Of course, strychnine isn't the strangest thing Richards has put in his system. As the guitarist revealed in an interview, then confirmed in his autobiography Life, he once snorted a bit of Dear Ol' Dad. "The truth of the matter is that after having Dad's ashes in a black box for six years, because I really couldn't bring myself to scatter him to the winds, I finally planted a sturdy English oak to spread him around," Richard wrote. "And as I took the lid off of the box, a fine spray of his ashes blew out on to the table. I couldn't just brush him off so I wiped my finger over it and snorted the residue. Ashes to ashes, father to son." Perhaps this isn't an incident that almost killed Richards, but it's certainly a brush with death.
