eMail Q&A, pres. by Citi: NYC is NOT a small-market!
For instance, just two of the eight playoff teams spent more than $110 million on payroll this season (Yankees and Phillies). Four teams spent between $85 and $105 million (Cardinals, Rangers, Brewers and Tigers), while two teams spent less than $55 million (Rays and D-Backs). Yes, yes, I know, the Phillies and Yankees win consistently (of late). However, the Yankees are a weird case because they've always spent top dollar – they've done when losing and they've done it when winning. In fact, they were a top spending team for nearly 15 years before winning a World Series in 1996, yet made the playoffs only once in that time. It wasn't until they began developing a farm system, promoted and succeeded with home grown talent, and then had to re-sign that talent to keep it from hitting the open market did their payroll skyrocket.
The Phillies are a more modern and typical case, in that they changed philosophies and started developing better, young players through much of the early part of last decade. They had the 13th highest payroll in baseball in 2007, when they first outran the Mets for the NL East title. In 2008 they had the 12th highest payroll when they won the World Series. It wasn't until their home grown players began facing free agency – after they won a ring – that they're payroll skyrocketed, which was made possible by the increase in revenue from having won, sold tickets and getting to the post season.
In other words, in almost every case, be it the Yankees, Red Sox, D-Backs in 2001 (who started their growth and spending in 1998), be it the Phillies, and so on: first came the foundation, then came the winning, then came the revenue, then came the spending, and then came the consistent success.
Right now, it looks to me like Sandy Alderson is doing his best to build a foundation, all while trying to keep life entertaining in Citi Field, because, like you said, Larry, this is New York and there are tickets to sell. In other words, he's doing what the Yankees did in the early 90s, and he's doing what the Phillies and Red Sox did in the early 2000s (before they started winning), which is acquiring young talent in trades and through the draft; keeping that talent; promoting them and signing affordable, high-ceiling free agents who will not bog down future payrolls; so, when the new, young talent finally flourishes, and the Mets win, and those guys need to be retained (you know, so the team can sustain winning), Alderson will have the money to keep them and then fill in with other key free agents. It's a tough trick to turn and it takes time, but it's the right way to go about things.
For what it's worth, here are teams from 2011 that spent more than $90 million:

Exposed Seams Pleated Skirt: A pretty, swingy skirt in light-as-air cotton voile with exposed seams finished with pearl stitch. It's perfect for those who love the flowing look of a maxi skirt, but prefer a shorter length.

Rating: 3.50 out of 26 votes cast
Nice but not what is advertised
We ordered the Deep Lilac- the description and pictures showed a white background. It is a khaki background, but my daughter likes it and it is nice. The fabric is more of a slightly shiny cotton, not voile. It wrinkles easily, so will need to be ironed often. The length is good for her needs.

Love it
Love this skirt...perfect length and perfect fit. I wore it to a wedding and got tons of compliments! It's a keeper!
Cheyenne, WY
So pretty
The reviews are very true here. Light flowy skirt with pleats in just the right spot on the hips. I am 5'6'' and it rides just below the knee. Love that you can dress it up with blouse and scarf or wear it relaxed with a tee (i chose watermelon---SWEET!
Great skirt
I ordered this skirt to go with a pink tee. I am so happy with this lightweight, gored, girlie skirt. The length is perfect, just below the knee. It is great for summer and wears well.
Love It!
Love this skirt. I paired it with a lavender "T" and matching shoes. One of my college students told me I was "spot on."
Riverside, CA
Like everything about it
This skirt is attractive, great fun, easy care. You can dress it up or down. I'm very pleased
Girl of the West
Gallup, NM
Love it!
I was aware from other reviews that the seams were on the outside of this skirt, which is a style I've seen in a few things before so it didn't put me off. This skirt fits me perfectly and looks great! It was true to size. I've worn it twice so far and gotten compliments. I am a bit nervous about washing it, as the seams and material look a bit fragile, but so far haven't needed to. I'm very happy with this purchase--I got the deep lilac floral and it is beautiful and can go with multiple tops I have.
Lancaster, NY
Beautiful Skirt
I ordered the spring green checkered skirt. I love the outside seems as they keep the shape of the skirt crisp. I found no loose threads or any faults at all. I am going to order the pink checkered skirt as well. The short sleeved sweater in spring green matches this skirt perfectly.
Litchfield Park, AZ
totally wrong
The description says "voile" which is a fine, soft, sheer fabric. (check the dictionary) This skirt is opaque, stiff, just plain cotton. I don't think it said anything about the outside seams, tho the ad does now after all the complaints. But REALLY the worst thing is that there is very little movement in this skirt and I expected it to MOVE! Not THIS fabric. I've returned it and won't much trust the descriptions anymore. No dancing in this one!
Lakewood, CO
This skirt could have been so cute; instead, they sewed the seams on the outside which gave it a "cheap" look, rather than a strong construction. Also, there was hardly any waistband. It would have been better to put a few more dollars into the construction of the clothing, then to make it look cheap.
Fort Mohave, AZ
somewhat disappointed
The detail can't be seen in the catalog picture or on-line, so I was somewhat disappointed in the exposed stitch style of the skirt (looks like it is inside-out). I would have preferred a white or cream background instead of ecru. The underskirt gives it some structure.

Northfield IL
Deep Lilac and TAN!
I bought two skirts but I'm sending them both back. The fabric is too stiff for the full skirt. The colors are not spring like at all. The lilac has a tan background not white or even off white. I was disappointed but I do love other products from Chadwicks. I'm still a fan!
Inside out is not does not look that good in real life
Fabric and style is very pretty. But skirt was spoiled by cheap looking seems on the outside. Had to return.
Huntington beach, Ca
pretty material
Nice style. Material is a little cheap for the price. I'd like it better if it were right side out.Fits nice.
Light, pretty, feminine
A light cotton skirt for warm weather. Pretty color, and I'm a fan of cotton's breathability. Fits according to the size chart. It's an inexpensive material so the sale price seems to be its true value, but these feminine styles that are so becoming to women of all sizes are not always easy to find. Long may they be available!
Smells like formaldehyde!
I'm a long time seasonal customer. For Easter, I ordered the violet/yellow skirt w/the matching sweater. I opened the package, and a horrendous smell filled the room, giving me an instant headache. I immediately sealed it off and sent everything back w/a request to refund my purchase, plus the shipping fees. Ugh!
Saratoga, CA
Backwards Skirt
Who ever thought you could wear this skirt with an "inside out" theme was waaaay off. This purchase was a disappointment for this long time customer. A skirt that looked this classy in the magazine was no where near classy once I got it home. I even thought it was sewed inside out until I saw in on the cover and could see the exposed stitching. Certainly not my Easter dress worthy. Exposed stitching on the gores, the waistband, and the hem ??? This was a clear miss.It went from classy to trashy in an instant.
Ordered the lilac and peach in order to see which I liked best. The lilac has a deep tan background, not light as it looks in the catalog. There is white vertical topstitching on each panel seam-it looks like the skirt is inside out and cheapens it. Now I am out shipping costs both ways!!!
Floral Skirt
I have been a customer for over 15 years, and love the fashion and styles this company has offered.However, the floral skirt recently purchased was a terrible disappointment. It looks and feels "cheaper" than I had expected. The stitching is uneven and glaringly loud. For the full price paid, I feel it was a let-down.
El Paso, TX
This is a great skirt for the money - it is swingy and classic. It's pretty hard these days to find normal, classic looks like these - this is what Chadwicks is about. Will have this skirt for a long time to come.
Great look
I love the look of this skirt on me. I continue to receive compliments evertytime I wear it. It's very versatile, dressing it up or down. I wear a size 8 & the 8 fits me perfectly. I do not need to iron it. I just machine wash, machine dry for about 5 minutes and hang dry. I will be buying another color today.
Lorrie k
Kalamazoo, MICHIGAN
Needs Serious Alteration
The color is beautiful, but the fit and the construction are off. The hips of the underskirt run quite small, and, consequently, the waistband is two inches too big on me. The choice to have the edging on the outside is not a good look. I will be taking this to my seamstress and having her take a couple of inches out of the waistband, and then turn the voile overskirt inside out so that the seams do not show. It would also be nice to have this available in the pastel shades of pink, blue, green, purple, coral, and yellow.
Green Owl
Philadelphia, PA
I love this skirt. I love that it is lined and and I love the way it swings. Rather retro and perfect. The finish is not the best, loose threads and edges here and there, but I would still recommend it.
Little Love
Miles City MT
So Pretty
I purchased the black and pink floral print and it looks just as pictured. True to size. Very feminine.
Warner Robins, GA
Black/White Gingham Skirt
I love this skirt. I love how it looks on the model. I keep checking frequently on your web-site to see what your inventory is like re: this particular skirt. I wear a size 6... when you have this print in stock, you have the larger sizes or none in stock. When & if you get a size 6 Black/White Gingham... I will immediately buy it. I love the look (and I'm not a gingham-sort of gal).Thanks!
McPherson, KS
The cutest skirt!
I wore this for Easter and I got SO many compliments. It's very comfy and is perfect for spring/summer. The only bummer is it's not fun to iron after washing.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Somewhere in the barrage of oil market-moving news and monthly reports released this week we almost missed it: oil independence for the U.S. isn't just a dream.
The biggest clue might have come from the Energy Information Administration's Short-Term Energy Outlook report, which said that U.S. crude-oil production in August hit the highest monthly level in 24 years.
That's a major step toward the energy independence the U.S. has been aiming for and may point to a future surplus of oil in the global market.
A blog about how to profit from the global energy market.
• Follow @EnergyTicker
The EIA also said domestic oil production is on track to score the biggest annual growth in the history of the U.S. oil industry — poised for a climb of 15.1% to 7.47 million barrels a day this year.
So far this year, U.S. government data show that the nation has met 87% of its own energy needs, according Charles Perry, chief executive officer at energy-consulting firm Perry Management.
He views current drilling activity as "stable" and expects it to last in the range of 10 more years, barring any external factors. Most importantly, "there is far more potentially productive oil shale in the U.S. than any of us in the industry even dreamed existed," Perry said.
So if the current drilling rate continues, the U.S. "should be near zero on oil imports in 10 years, plus or minus," he said.
That's quite a turnaround. Not that long ago, oil independence was not a sure thing.
And on a more global scale, with reductions in U.S. imports, there is likely to be "a surplus of oil in the future, unless developing countries can use up this surplus," Perry said.
The boom in U.S. production is already making a big difference.
Three monthly oil reports released this week, from the EIA, OPEC and the International Energy Agency (IEA), confirmed a sizable production climb from non-OPEC oil producers, which include the U.S., and that helped to offset output losses from Libya, Syria and others.
The latest monthly reports from the EIA and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries both "acknowledge the incredible boom in U.S. production and how it is changing the global energy landscape," said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group.
"OPEC may be worried about weakening demand but, at the same time, any thought of production cuts will have to be balanced with a risk to their market share," he said.
Saudi Arabia has always been known as the swing oil producer, one that has the means and ability to step in and make up for any shortfalls in global output in the event of a significant drop elsewhere.
But Saudi Arabia had help in that role. It was "robust supply gains in Saudi Arabia and North America" that compensated for the sharply lower production numbers from Libya, Syria and much of the North Sea in August, according to Matthew Parry, senior oil analyst at the IEA.

Concerns over supplies in the Middle East, with ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in Syria, oil disruptions in Nigeria and political instability in Libya and Egypt, contributed to a nearly 3% rise in oil prices US:CLV3 in August.
"Short-term geopolitical tensions, of course remain a concern, but overall the market fundamentals look reasonably secure," Parry told MarketWatch.

See Other EOS DSLR Cameras
Reconceived based on the experience and feedback of professional users, the EOS 5D Mark III's new ergonomic design is more comfortable and intuitive than ever. With a refined and intelligent layout of all control buttons and dials, shooting settings can be made with just the right hand, and quick image check and image processing operations with just the left. The grip has been redesigned for easy holding both when shooting and when carrying the camera. The rubber skin coating is designed for all day comfort in the hand, and coats the cameras card slot cover as well.
For added convenience, flexibility and limitless, uninterrupted storage capacity, the EOS 5D Mark III has dual card slots, accommodating both a Compact Flash and an SDXC card. It has three recording modes perfect for a diverse collection of workflows. When set to Auto switch media, the camera switches cards as soon as one card is filled, a perfect setting for long shoots. The camera can be set to record separately, saving different file sizes or types to each card. And for extra security, the camera can be set to create an automatic backup by recording the same file to both cards simultaneously.
The EOS 5D Mark III features a dual-axis electronic level indicator that displays both vertical and horizontal tilt on the LCD monitor either alone or during Live View shooting, and can also be displayed in the cameras intelligent viewfinder.
For an expanded range of applications, the EOS 5D Mark III is compatible with Canon peripherals for wireless file transfers and GPS.

Report: Dog dropped off at pound, owner thought he was 'gay'
Facebook rally saves dog from being put down
A dog narrowly escaped death at the pound today, all because his owner gave him up saying he was "gay".
That is according to a woman in Jackson, Tennessee that regularly visits the high-kill shelter to rescue pups.
"His owner threw him away bc he refuses to have a 'gay' dog!" she wrote. "Don't let this gorgeous dog die [because] his owner is ignorant of normal dog behavior! He's in kennel 10L and he WILL be put down tomorrow bc there is no room at the inn!"
It turns out the owner apparently saw the healthy American Bulldog mix mount another male dog, and thought the dog was therefore a homosexual. However, displays like that are natural across dogs of all breeds and genders; it is usually a display of dominance, dog experts said.
Facebook came to his rescue after Gawker posted the story. Several people posted on the picture above, and many said they were willing to go down to the pound and rescue him. Some even offered to stand on line outside the shelter in the morning before it even opened to make sure he made it out alive.
This story has a happy ending; the dog is now safely in a new, loving home, according to The Tennessean.

Tom McCourts accounting (Sept. 22, Wasatch Behind, Sun Advocate) for the end of the hippie movement, saying that after Woodstock and the end of the hippie movement, they (the love children) all became tree hugging liberals is absurd. This has got to be the most ludicrous statement I have ever heard in all my life. Almost all (the hippies) that I knew become conservative yuppies. They became Republicans in a new business world.
Many of McCourts articles have been good. This one was not even close. If one is to have political views, do not hang them on something so simple minded as those liberals, or those tree hugging liberals. All those liberals are not extreme as some have been told. Many weigh in on the environment and the need for work (business). I think we need conservatives to change some of this brain washed thinking. I do not think Rush is helping the cause.
Then we have Marcy Underdahl (Sept. 22, 2009 Letters to the Editor, Sun Advocate) talking about health care. According to here all we have to do is do away with tort and government controls and the whole thing will be resolved. Wow, what was I thinking, there is no problem in health care. It's so simple. That means that the insurance companies and their executives will drop prices and their bonuses. Then the insurance companies will give up their totalitarian controls over the medical industry. Then the medical industry will lower their prices. All restraints and problems solved. Man am I relieved.

By TERRY WILLISSports reporter
As conference play hits full swing for the Eagles, CEU played a four game home stand against the SLCC Bruins last weekend. They were able to win one out of the four. CEU lost the first three games 6-3,4-2 and 10-8. It was the final match-up that let them salvage an 8-5 win.
The Eagle's conference record drops to 4-8 with an overall record of 11-15.
On Friday, March 13 CEU played a strong opening game as they took on the Bruins. In the fourth SLCC broke the stalemate with a run. In the bottom half Josh Sturgis hit a three run dinger and CEU had the lead.
It didn't last long as the Bruins tied it up next time up. Knotted at three going into the seventh, the Bruins posted three and CEU had no answer and game one went to SLCC.
CEU's Jesse Hartle started on the mound in game two. Salt Lake did all the scoring through five. The Eagles found their bats in the seventh, but fell two runs short and posted another loss. Bradley Jackson was the losing pitcher of record for CEU.
The same two teams went back at it on Saturday. Each team scored in the first. The Eagles were ahead 6-2 in the 3rd before the Bruins sent four across in the fourth to tie it. It was a wild game with CEU going through four different pitchers. Brett Barrett recorded the CEU loss. Salt Lake scored their 10 runs on 13 hits. CEU posted eight runs on 12 hits.
In the final game of the stand, CEU pounded out another 14 hits. The lead seesawed in the final game until the fourth when the Eagles scored four to take the lead for good. Brennan Hallows went the distance on the mound for CEU and got a much earned win.
Back on the road for four this weekend will have the Golden Eagles in Henderson, Nevada to meet up with the College of Southern Nev.
CEU will be home again on March 20 and 21 to face Western Nevada for a pair of double headers.

Tried your NEW Creative Cards and you did it again! I love them and will have to buy this cartridge. Thanks for doing a great job. Keep it up.
I've really enjoyed this cartridge in the Craft Room this week. Thanks for making it available so I could test it out and get hooked on it!
I received my new Creative Cards cartridge in the mail today and was so anxious to try it....but when I tried to link it to my Gypsy, it would not connect. I updated my Gypsy as instructed with no change. I really wish you would keep the Gypsy updated with the new cartridge releases. Yes, I know I can use it without the Gypsy, but I am addicted to my Gypsy.
I had the opportunity to try out the free cuts in CCR and really loved how easy these are to put together and unlike some of the other cards, the images can be used alone rather than just as a card.
Like the variety of cards to make quickly. However the instructions are so small - could have used more detail as to how they go together.

Well its the last day of the year and we're aptly left remembering all that went down in the Fire world during 2012.
A new jersey sponsor, a Ring of Fire induction, a 15th Anniversary, playoff qualification and a Rookie of the Year winner are just some of the highlights.
Take a photographic look back on the club's memorable 15th season:
Stay tuned on Tuesday as I give my New Year's Resolutions for the Fire in 2013!
One of the final pieces of business for Section 8 Chicago every calendar year is to finalize the candidate listing for the board elections which take place at the ISA's Annual General Meeting set for the last weekend of January every year.
Much like American presidential candidates have a deadline to declare candidacy in order to receive federal funding, Section 8 board candidates had to declare their intention to run by posting to the ISA's forums by midnight on Thursday.
The deadline came and went Thursday night with all eight positions having at least one candidate running. While most are unopposed, two positions, Director of Finance and Director of Marketing will have election races.
Don't like the American style two-party system? An interesting play in the Section 8 board elections is that candidates also list their group affiliation.
Though there are a number of different supporters groups that make up the umbrella of Section 8 Chicago, three (Ultras Red Side, Whiskey Brothers Aught Five and Westmont Ultras) are represented along with a number of folks who have no group affiliation (Independents).
In the coming weeks, candidates will lay out the plans they have for their positions via the Section 8 forums ahead of the AGM to be held January 26 (location to be confirmed). ALL Fire supporters are encouraged to attend the AGM and allowed to vote on board positions.
Find below the list of candidacies as well as their group affiliations and follow the race via the Section 8 forum:
Chair: Joel Biden * / Independent
Vice-Chair: Jeffrey Marinacci * / Independent
Communications: Nick Fedora / Whiskey Brothers '05
Events: Annie West / Independent
Finance: 1) Merrie Bunt / Ultras Red Side 2) Josue Gomez ** / Westmont Ultras
Operations: Eric Kekeis / Ultras Red Side
Marketing: 1) Frank Cardenas / Whiskey Brothers '05 2) Marty Groark * / Independent
Merchandise: Freddy Coba / Ultras Red Side
* - Incumbent ** - Current Board Member, new position
Good luck to all candidates!

Jeff and Brendan checked back in from Toyota Park on Monday to discuss the Fire's playoff history and Houston's extra bit of rest heading into Wednesday's Knockout match
Campaigns, trash talk and the truth.
During the race for the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year award there has been a lot of chatter. Who ranks where and what is valued more from fresh-faced rookies - Goals? Assists? Saves? Defense?
Adapting to MLS can be a challenge. It's a long season fraught with ups and downs, the speed of play is accelerated, often as a central defender you are up against a striker with class skills and experience to match.
For Chicago Fire defender Austin Berry it isn't about the rankings or the hoopla, it's about putting in the work needed to help the team.
Berry has made his way onto a Life cereal box.
While there has been PR to support the rookie defender who has started 27 matches for a 17-11-5 Fire team that has only allowed 40 goals in 2012.
The real truth of the matter has been Berry's play. Through his efforts alone, Berry has cut through the clutter, letting his game speak for itself…
Austin #Berry4ROY: THE TRUTH
Yesterday, I began the ambitious 11-part Playoff History series with a bang, taking a look back on the club's magical run to the 1998 MLS Cup championship. Today, we step a year ahead to the bitter disappointment of an early exit from the 1999 MLS Cup playoffs.
It's important to preface the club's playoff experience in 1999 with a bit of context. After winning the 1998 MLS and U.S. Open Cup double, the Fire began a season of disappointments the following year with an early exit at the eventual U.S. Open Cup champions Rochester Rhinos on July 14.
Out of domestic cup competition, the team continued to focus on regular season play for the next two months before taking part in the CONCACAF Champions Cup in Las Vegas that fall. Playing on the rock-hard pitch at Sam Boyd Stadium, the Fire dispatched Trinidadian side Joe Public 2-0 in the first round before going to penalties with Costa Rican power Alajuelense after a 1-1 draw in the semifinal.
In the shootout, Lubos Kubik, who the year before had tallied six of six penalties taken during the regular season and playoffs, shot second and skied his effort high over the bar. His miss was the only one on the night as the Fire fell 5-4 to Alajuelense and leaving the Fire to miss out on the CONCACAF final played two days later.
"In 1998 we seemed like a team of destiny that was just preordained to win. A year later, it seemed the fates were evening out and there was nothing we could do to prevent the inevitable failure." – Former Chicago Fire President Peter Wilt
#2 Dallas Burn vs. #3 Chicago Fire – Western Conference Semifinals (best of three)
With the teams splitting their four matchups during the regular season, three of which went to the old MLS shootout to be decided, this playoff encounter promised to be a tight one.
GAME 1 played 10/16/1999 at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas
WATCH: '99 Western Conference Semifinals vs. Dallas
Despite their previously more exciting matche, the first half of Game One could have seemed more like a heavyweight bout where no one wanted to land the first punch as neither team registered a shot on goal.
The home side did have a bit more of the play though and took the lead in the 52nd minute through Ariel Graziani when the Ecuadorian striker chipped Oscar Pareja towards the end line before the current Colorado Rapids coach centered across the box for an easy finish.
The goal also marked the first time the Fire had ever trailed in a postseason match.
Dallas would take their lead to 2-0 in the 75th minute when Graziani pounced on a loose ball at midfield. He'd stroll alone into the box, forcing Fire 'keeper Zach Thornton to the floor before sliding the ball to the charging Mark Santel on the right, leaving the former U.S. international an easy finish past the desperate slide of Fire defender Tom Soehn.
The 2-0 score line seemed to wake the Fire up, pulling one back just four minutes later. Peter Nowak found the ball at the top of the penalty area and played it into the path of substitute midfielder John Ball on the right who slid a low effort past Dallas 'keeper Matt Jordan.
With the goal, the Fire were charged for an equalizer but saw late efforts from Paul Dougherty, Diego Gutierrez and Ball all go begging, eventually falling 2-1.
GAME 2 played 10/23/1999 at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
Staring elimination in the face, the Fire picked up on the momentum from the end of the first game and took the lead 18 minutes in.
Diego Gutierrez had a misplaced clearance fall for him and took a low blast from distance. The ball ended up running perfectly into the stride of Peter Nowak who took one touch into the box before finishing past Jordan.
The Fire would double their lead 18 minutes later when Roman Kosecki pounced on a bouncing ball in midfield and strolled towards goal before hitting a somewhat weak left-footed effort that eluded Jordan and tucked inside the left post.
Ante Razov (right) would take the score to 3-0 just before the break. Chasing down a long ball out of the back from Jesse Marsch, Razov bodied off the challenge of Richard Farrer before seeing Jordan far off his line. The second-year Fire striker turned with the ball and hit a 20-yard effort that left the Dallas 'keeper only with a front row seat to see it.
Jordan continued his shocking display just after the half. Nowak chipped a ball into the box from the left for Kosecki who could only get a partial touch to the ball, making it look as if the Dallas 'keeper would come off his line to claim it. Jordan was a step late in his approach, however and Dema Kovalenko ran on, took a touch and finished from close range to close out the 4-0 score line.
The Fire seemed to have resurrected the demons from Game 1 and after Jordan's horrific performance in the second game, left Dallas coach Dave Dir to make a switch to veteran Mark Dodd for Game 3.
GAME 3 played 10/27/1999 at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas
The Fire's momentum from Game 2 seemed to barely miss a beat in the decider with the Fire taking on three minutes to go up 1-0.
On the goal, Jerzy Podbrozny played a quick centering pass for Lubos Kubik who played Ante Razov through into the box. To get through the Dallas back line, Razov spun in stride without even touching the ball before placing his low effort past Dodd.
The series looked all but over two minutes later. Kubik lined up for a free kick 35 yards from goal and whipped a beautiful in-swinger between the penalty spot and the six-yard box where a sliding Jesse Marsch redirected the ball past Dodd and into the top right corner to go up 2-0.
Things weren't all roses for the Fire in the first half as Razov left the match in the 15th minute with a hamstring strain. Already without Josh Wolff who had suffered a torn ACL back in August, the team's attack lacked its two leading scorers for the remaining 75 minutes.
As a result, the Fire would start to fall apart after the break. In the 55th minute, future Fire defender Sergi Daniv sent a cross from the right that Zach Thornton could only get a hand to before Chad Deering cleaned up with a header at the back post in the 55th minute.
After the strike, the Fire would look to take back their two-goal lead but Dodd would stand tall turning away three efforts in two minutes from Peter Nowak (67th) Lubos Kubik (68th) and John Ball (69th).
Gaining in frustration, the team was awarded a number of yellow cards but maintained the 2-1 lead into the final 10 minutes.
Things would come undone though when defender C.J. Brown, who had done a great job in marking Dallas striker Jason Kreis throughout the series, was whistled for handling the ball in the box in the 83rd minute. On the ensuing penalty, Jorge Rodriguez sent Thornton the wrong way and brought the match level.
With Dallas holding all the momentum at home, they pushed forward for the game and series clincher in the 90th minute. John Jairo Trellez pushed up on the right and centered a ball that deflected off of Brown and saw Thornton make a swiping effort before falling straight to the feet of Graziani (right) who cruelly one-timed his effort off the underside of the cross bar to complete one of the most stunning comebacks in MLS Cup playoff history.
The final 10 minutes and whole of 1999 left former Fire President Peter Wilt to simply say, "The penalty against us that tied the game seemingly made the final outcome inevitable. Just as 1998 was destined to be our year, 1999 was destined not to be."
The Fire would be left to look for redemption in 2000 (coming Wednesday)...
Bring the Fire, the club's 2013 season ticket renewal program, isn't all fun and games as you might expect.
As you know, the club has been sending a group of spirited individuals to houses in the Chicagoland area and surprising each season ticket holder with a gift for renewing their tickets prior to November 1.
Well, despite the happy faces on Fire supporters everywhere, we've been busted.
In coming up with the idea, we may or may not have borrowed the name of our merry gang from a certain Publishers Clearing House group that rhymes with "Size Parole".
Seeing as we are law abiding citizens here at the Chicago Fire, and we didn't want to let down all those supporters who are hurriedly rushing to renew their season tickets so that the team with Sparky, balloons and big checks would potentially come to their house we have decided to rename the "Eyes Condole" as the, wait for it…
We may or may not have had to overdub a few of the videos to appease some fancy lawyers in New York.
You never know, maybe the RADICAL REWARD FOR RENEWING YOUR CHICAGO FIRE SEASON TICKETS PATROL will show up to your house next.
Over the summer, we presented 15 Memorable Games and Goals from the club's first 15 seasons. We also asked you the fans who the top 15 players in club history were.
To be clear, you won't see numbers ranking the players. That's because this isn't a countdown but rather a series to honor 15 great players in Fire history.
In the previous four episodes of the #Fire15 presented by TrueCar, we've honored Chris Armas, DaMarcus Beasley, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Carlos Bocanegra, Lubos Kubik, Jesse Marsch, Brian McBride, Logan Pause, Marco Pappa, Ante Razov, Chris Rolfe and Zach Thornton.
Today, three Ring of Fire inductees round out the list… The final three players are Frank Klopas, C.J. Brown and Peter Nowak.
Frank Klopas – Mr. Chicago. With eight goals and five assists across 50 games, it wasn't stats but rather the heart and commitment Frank showed that got him on this list. Maybe that winner in the '98 Open Cup final helped a bit too.
As Len Ziehm says in the video, the Fire needed someone local to help the new franchise make a connection to the city. Fans that remembered "Kid Klopas" from Chicago Sting in the 1980's were reinvigorated by the reappearance of the city's iconic soccer son in the club's inaugural 1998 season.
More than that, there's no player that has ever bled Chicago the way Klopas did in his two seasons playing for the Fire. Returning to the club as Technical Director in 2008 and now as head coach, Frank has served to remind the current crop of what it means every time they put on the shirt.
C.J. Brown – There are few players quite as deserving of being honored on such a list as C.J. Brown. The club's all-time appearance leader at 372, Brown is one of only three Fire players to be part of all six domestic titles and was the last connection in the locker room to the 1998 double-winning team.
Learning from the likes of Peter Nowak, Lubos Kubik and Chris Armas, the 1998 season helped guide the rest of his 13-year career, carrying on and passing down the same characteristics of hard work, competitiveness and integrity to young Fire players through the years.
As I say in the video, the former Fire captain was never flashy. He played hard, he picked up cards but he was the constant rock at the back. His legacy is still carried on in the Fire locker room today.
Peter Nowak – Often mentioned as the best player to ever wear the badge, Peter Nowak set the bar as high as it could go during his five seasons with the Fire.
Nowak joined Kubik, and fellow veteran Poles Jerzy Podbrozny and Roman Kosecki as a large core of the original Fire team, captaining the side to the 1998 double and winning MLS Cup MVP honors in the process.
Having played 147 competitive matches, the first signing in Chicago Fire history tallied 29 goals and retains the Fire record for assists across all competitions (60) and in MLS play (48).
At least 11 of the #Fire15 will be present at either Wednesday night's 15th Anniversary Match vs. Philadelphia or the October 8th Anniversary Party at the Chicago History Museum.

In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with defender Jalil Anibaba. Now in his second season with the Fire, Jalil has put together a solid sophomore season, starting 26 of his 27 appearances. An integral part of a solid Fire defense, he has also contributed on the offensive side, scoring one goal and adding one assist. A native of Davis, Calif., Jalil was selected ninth overall in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Jalil took the time to answer our Burning Questions about his hidden talents, his favorite birthday memory and what it's like to own canaries.
Always on the Inside: You were named the Gatorade California Player of the Year for Soccer in 2006-07. What's your favorite Gatorade flavor?
Jalil Anibaba: Probably Glacier Freeze. Light blue.
AOTI: What is the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
JA: Probably a song of myself. I wouldn't say I sing a lot but it's a hobby of mine.
AOTI: Are you going to make us a mix tape?
JA: No. Definitely not. That's why it's one of the most embarrassing things on my iPod.
AOTI: Who plays Jalil Anibaba in the Jalil Anibaba movie?
JA: Probably one of my brothers because they know me so well, they'd be able to portray my character in the best light.
AOTI: Your brother Jammil and yourself look remarkably alike. How often do people confuse the two of you and have you ever used your similar looks to trick people?
JA: We've never used our similar looks to deceive people on purpose. In Chicago we get confused for each other pretty often. It happens a lot up in the Stadium Club after games but it's great having my brother here for support. It's awesome.
AOTI: Your birthday, which is on October 19, is almost exactly one month away. What's your favorite birthday memory?
JA: I would say being back in Davis when I was younger, in my teenage years and before that. My birthdays were always special because they were times when the whole family was together. My grandmother would always come and make my favorite cake, Lemon Pound Cake. We would just have dinner together, so they were great times and great experiences.
AOTI: Last year you put together a very solid rookie season, starting 27 of 29 matches and registering three goals (one of which became the team's Goal of the Year) and one assist. This year the Fire have another rookie defender, Austin Berry, who is putting together similar numbers. Do you consider him your protégé and have you ever called him Jalil Jr.? What do you think of him following in your footsteps?
JA: No, I definitely don't think of Austin as a Jalil protégé. Simply because I'm still a young player and I'm still trying to prove myself day in and day out. I think Austin has done a tremendous job learning on the curve, and that's part of being a rookie. His future is definitely bright.
AOTI: What's a typical day like in the life of Jalil Anibaba?
JA: I wake up for training, come to the stadium in the morning, and put in my day's work as far as my profession is concerned.
Once I leave the stadium, the day is pretty slow. I like to get a nap in after training and then pretty much after the nap, it's all about getting ready for the next day, so eating well, resting, watching either a movie or a couple of TV shows and just being ready for the next day.
AOTI: What TV shows do you like?
JA: There are a couple series that I've been intrigued with lately. I'm happy that season five of "Sons of Anarchy" started again; that's one of my top choices. I was into "Damages" but that show is done now. I'm a big fan of "Suits." With time on my hands I like to indulge in different TV series to entertain myself.
Reality TV is something that me and my brother and some of my friends like to get into. We watch "Love & Hip Hop" and "The Voice" to keep things light hearted."
AOTI: Do you have any hidden talents?
JA: When I was young I used to skateboard and I used to yo-yo. I'm a little rusty but maybe I could still do some tricks.
AOTI: Your dad raises canaries. What's the most interesting thing about canaries?
JA: What's interesting about them is that the males sing, and they sing beautifully. If you're ever to come to my house back in Davis, you'll definitely hear birds singing, and it's a great, great sound.

Rachel Irwin: German Studies Senior Thesis:
What happened to the health care system in Germany when the the Berlin Wall fell down and the East and West were united?
How did the East deal with the transition from a Socialist to Capitalist state, with respect to health care financing and delivery of services?
What were the cultural and financial barriers to integration?
How was integration perceived in the West and in the East?
How could German Care policy translate into the American Health Care system?
"This fall I worked with Dr. White in the political science department on a project that answered these questions. Specifically, I looked
at the financial issues concerning the unification of Germany with regard to insurance schemes and the costs of unification and I looked at
how the system continues to develop. I particularly enjoyed this project, as I was able to draw upon what I have learned in both of my majors,
medical anthropology and German studies."
Kelly Hill: Honors Thesis
Translation Project Judith Hermann: "Sommerhaus, später"
"The theme of Hermann's stories intrigued me: wrestling with the past, trying to figure out how the past defines the present and how to separate the present from the past. I think this theme is a crucial human experience, but also is uniquely important for Germany: how to deal with the country's past, as that past gets further and further away. The question of what relationship the younger generations are supposed to have with their pasts-how do they break free of it, and can they ever? How much of the past is inevitably part of them, how much, as Judith Hermann puts it, of their great-grandmothers' (and great-grandfathers') stories are also their stories?
Being able to discuss and translate Sommerhaus, später with Dr. Ittner helped me to come closer to truly understanding these stories and changed my perspective on the characters. I learned that there can be a huge difference between reading and working with the words of a story..."
"Kelly: My Experience of Translation"
Jason Haserodt, Anand Kulanthaivel
Final Project for GRMN 331 "Re/Constructing Reality: German Documentary Film (Ittner)
Our documentary film explores the melancholy and mechanization of the postmodern, contemporary urban milieu in which we find ourselves daily. Drawing from such classic documentary sources as Walter Ruttmann's Berlin: Symphonie einer GroBßstadt" and Dziga Vertov's "Man with a Movie Camera," the film combines images of present-day Cleveland with a variety of music to express the personal vision of the filmmakers. We combined our experiences from class with practical knowledge from Harald Friedl, the documentary filmmaker who taught a two-week seminar to the class in the Fall 2003 semester.
Brigitte Gerard: German Studies Senior Thesis
Investing in Germany's Future
My Thesis is an investigation and interpretation of birth rates in Germany--pre-unifcation, ten years post-unification, and after the change in the citizenship laws.
I compare the birth rates in terms of geography (East and West Germany) as well as ethnicity (ethnic Germans and non-ethnic Germans) as indicators of whether German citizens are feeling optimistic or pessimistic about their lives--that is, how they assess their personal situation and the future quality of life in Germany and Europe.

The pants are great. My favorite pair. Really. The only thing is that the waist doesn't stretch at all. So go a bit bigger than regular because it has the waist adjuster pull tab. These pants also have a killer right side leg pocket perfect for a phone or a powerbar and easily accessible. They also have one side and one back belt loop perfect for clipping a chalk bag on for bouldering. These pants are great!

LONDON -- In the aftermath of the Christmas Day bombing attempt, our nation is once again grappling with how best to protect itself against terrorist attacks. So far, the U.S. government has been directing its resources towards things like airport security and strengthening the government in Yemen, a new hotbed for al-Qaeda. But it's worth asking whether we'd be better served by focusing on what goes on inside universities....

Soccer Culture
As we've all learned, GoPro cameras make everything look so much cooler. The guys over at Chicago Fire Rec Soccer have taken that to heart by putting together some of the best highlights from their leagues each and every week.
Check out the video below and get more info on CFRS leagues, as well as registration by clicking here.
Buy early, buy often...
One of the club's big initiatives during the 2014 season has been the Pub to Pitch bus program. As the season continues gathering pace, the club has experienced a rise in demand for bus tickets. As a result, all supporters are encouraged to purchase their bus tickets at least three days in advance of each matchday in order to guarantee a seat on the round trip bus to Fire games.
"The goal of the Pub to Pitch program is to help sell out the stadium every game in order to provide an advantage for our boys on the field," said Fire Senior Vice President Mike Ernst. "Given our stadium location, we want to offer our supporters a convenient option for transportation to and from the match.
"Because we sold so many tickets so early, we were really happy to be able to run a second bus for The Atlantic and The Globe Pub route last Saturday. I think it is a harbinger of things to come regarding growth of the program, so be sure to reserve your seat early to guarantee a spot on the bus."
We want to see multiple buses running from each of our partner bars in the city every matchday. In short, if you're planning on coming out to the next home game on Sunday, May 18 vs. Sporting KC, buy your ticket now and encourage your friends to do so as well.
As an extra bonus, those that buy a Pub to Pitch ticket for next Sunday by 11:59pm CT tonight will be entered to win a limited edition Pub to Pitch scarf! See below:

Off the beaten Fire path today is the historic news that Helena Costa, a successful female coach who has guided the likes of the Iranian and Qatari women's national teams has been given the management reigns of French Ligue 2 side Clermont Foot for next season.
With the news, the Portuguese manager becomes the highest-profile female manager of a men's team in European football history.
Clermont Foot's official statement on the appointment said, "It should help the club enter a new era."
Costa has also served in scouting roles for Portuguese and Scottish giants Benfica and Celtic respectively as well as managing lower league Portuguese sides Cheleirense and Odivelas.
Clermont Foot sit 14th in the Ligue 2 table with two matches to play. They'll secure their place in the league for next season with a draw in one of their final two games home vs. Troyes (May 9) and away to Tours (May 15).
What do you think of the news? How long do you think it'll be before a female manager is considered for a job in Major League Soccer? As of today, who would be your top candidate?
If you're any type of soccer nerd, you may know the record for most lopsided defeat in a FIFA national team match match came on April 11, 2001 when an Australian side pushing to move outside of the Oceanic Football Confederation made a point by defeating tiny American Samoa 31-0.
Needless to say, the defeat brought large embarrassment to the tiny U.S. territory whose population is just a hair over 55,000.
Enter former D.C. United, Toronto FC and U.S. U-20 coach Thomas Rongen who threw connections with the U.S. Soccer Federation took the reigns for American Samoa during OFC qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The Dutchman worked wonders by leading the small nation to its first ever international win when they defeated Tonga 2-1 in their opening match of qualifying.
American Samoa tied their second match 1-1 vs. Cook Island and narrowly missed advancing out of the group, falling to Samoa 1-0 in the 89th minute of their final match.
While the side didn't advance, cameras followed Rongen throughout his short stint leading the team and made the movie "Next Goal Wins" which recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival.
This is where you come in... There will be a local screening of the film at the Regal Gardens 7-13 in Skokie on Wednesday, May 21 at 7:30pm. In order for it to happen, the theater needs RSVPs by the end of the day Wednesday.
Tickets are just $10.50 and can be purchased by clicking here.
WATCH the trailer for the film below:
Racist chants and actions are nothing new in the world of soccer.
And while different campaigns and the simple spectre of time have helped a great deal in stampinig out racism in the game, shameful incidents do still occur.
See Barcelona's game this weekend at Villareal. Trailing 2-1 in the 76th minute, defender Dani Alves was set to take a corner kick when a banana was thrown just in front of him. Rather than ignore the act, Alves picked up the banana, ate a piece and took the corner kick... See below:
Barcelona went on to win the match 3-2, with the tying tally coming off an Alves cross that deflected for a Villareal own goal.
Remembering last summer when Ghanaian international Kevin Prince-Boateng faced down racist chants by walking off the field in a friendly for AC Milan, do you think Alves' reponse to racism was more effective?
In case you didn't know by now, Saturday's Fire/Red Stars doubleheader at Toyota Park will feature a pair of cousins as Mike Magee and Jackie Santacaterina line up for their squads in front of friends, family and their hometown fans. In case you don't have tickets, click here....
Pick up Wednesday's edition of the Chicago Redeye and get the full scoop on Mike and Jackie's competitive relationship growing up, how each of them did on a soccer-themed quiz and this video where they find out how they did:
With the growth in popularity of the game in this country comes the higher knowledge of history, both good and bad, that surrounds the game we love.
Twenty-five years ago today, the Hillsborough disaster occurred in Sheffield, England, claiming the lives of 96 Liverpool FC supporters who attended the ground to see their club's FA Cup semifinal clash with Nottingham Forest.
As has become standard worldwide, supporters of the two clubs were separated to prevent any incident, with Liverpool supporters being given the Leppings Lane Stand at the west side of the ground.
Access to the stand was only possible through a few ill-repaired turnstiles and led to serious overcrowding outside of the stadium prior to kickoff of the match. Looking to ease pressure on the entry way, officials ordered an exit gate to be opened, the path through which led to a standing section that was already overcrowded.
Crushing ensued as too many fans were located in the terraces and were pinned up against a barrier meant to keep fans off the pitch. The game actually didn't even halt until the sixth minute when fans trying to escape the crush walked on to the field along with police who ordered the match to be postponed.
About an hour north of Sheffield, a 25-year-old Frank Yallop came on as a substitute in Ipswich Town's 2-2 draw at Bradford City. Having led 2-1 at halftime, the result was a disappointing one for the Tractor Boys who dropped points to a Bradford City club below them in the Second Division table.
With the game kicking off at the same time as the cup semifinal though, Yallop and his teammates didn't find out about the tragedy until after they'd come off the field at Valley Parade.
"It was terrible," Yallop recalled to Chicago-Fire.com. "I just remember the images and panic on everyone's faces. Seeing it on the news, it was really devastating to watch -- all they showed on TV was carrying people on the advertising boards to get care from the paramedics."
Perhaps the news hit a bit closer to home for those that had just completed the match at Bradford City's ground as four years earlier, it was the site of a fire that engulfed one entire stand during the final match of the 1984/85 season. That tragedy took the lives of 56, saw over 200 injured and was started by one lit cigarette discarded underneath the all-wooden stand.
The Bradford City fired occurred just weeks before another stadium crush in a match involving Liverpool occurred at the 1985 European Cup final at Heysel Stadium in Belgium. On that day, 39 people, most of which were supporters of Italian side Juventus, lost their lives and resulted in English clubs being banned from European competition indefinitely.
Perhaps in part because of the Heysel incident, many pointed the blame for the crush at Hillsborough on Liverpool supporters. Claims of drunkenness and fans without tickets trying to gain entry into the ground were bothgiven as contributing factors for the incident. In the end, the Taylor Report (published in 1990) found the main factor to Hillsborough to be failure of police control.
More recent inquiries from the Hillsborough Independent Panel exonerated Liverpool supporters of wrong doing in the incident, placing the blame squarely on public safety officials.
"It was sad because people had gotten to the game early to see a semifinal," Yallop said. "From mistakes made by the police, 96 people lose their lives. It's a tragic accident."
The Taylor Report's main recommendation saw stadiums in the UK made to be all-seater in order to make crowd control easier and safer, which greatly reduced the capacity of many stadiums in the country.
Twenty-five years on from Hillsborough, tributes from clubs and supporters around the world have poured in and tonight ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary series tackles the events at Hillsborough (7pm CT on ESPN). ESPN's Keith Olbermann spoke to Director Daniel Gordon about the film on Monday:
Whether you like having just a few libations with some of the club's most ardent supporters, enjoy the beautiful landscapes of rural Indiana, Michigan and Missouri, or just really like seeing the Chicago Fire play away from home, Section 8 On Tour Bus Trips (#S8OT) have something for everyone.
Returning this year, the Independent Supporters Association is offering all Fire supporters an away season ticket, which guarantees round trip bus fare and match tickets for this season's Fire away games in Columbus (May 24), Kansas City (July 6) and Toronto (August 23) for just $200.
While the execution of an Away Season Ticket isn't something new to Section 8 Chicago, it does return for the first time in a number of years because of the way the MLS schedule fell for the club's three closest away trips according to ISA Chairman Jeff Marinacci.
"The stars aligned for us," he told Chicago-Fire.com this week. "When we saw the schedule, having Toronto on a summer weekend makes it an easy sell. Though Columbus or Kansas City are good road games, Toronto just offers so much more, the trip is worth doing outside of just going to watch a match."
- PURCHASE: 2014 Section 8 Chicago Away Trip Ticket
Toronto nightlife no doubt has more to offer than Kansas City or Columbus but what Marinacci is referring to is the fact that the past few seasons, the team has played away in Toronto at midweek in September, making it difficult to coordinate a strong contingent of Fire supporters to travel by bus.
This year the Columbus and Toronto trips both fall on Saturdays, while the Kansas City trip falls on the Sunday of Independence Day weekend making the travel much easier all around.
As they do on all buses, Section 8 Chicago is subsidizing an additional $35 per person on the 2014 Away Season Ticket on top of the $50 subsidy provided for individual bus travel to these matches.
"Our commitment to spending our money is to support the guys on the field home and away," he said.
A great deal no doubt, not what if someone buying can only make it on one or two of the trips instead of the full complement of three? Marinacci said that while there is no partial away season ticket (and no refunds), the ISA will accommodate ticket transfers as coordinated through firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now through mid-May (when bus tickets for the Columbus trip will cut off), Section 8 Chicago is in a heavy push to sell the Away Season Ticket for the year. As part of that push, the ISA will be raffling one off during Saturday's Watch Party at A.J. Hudsons.
Next Saturday, the ISA will raffle off a second Away Season Ticket, purchased by the Club, at their tailgate in the north lot prior to the Chicago Fire/New England Revolution match.
If you'd rather just support a great initiative to get more Fire fans out on the road this season, go ahead and buy your Away Season Ticket by clicking here.
It was a cold and windy training session on Friday at Toyota Park. After the team went through their final preparations for Saturday's match vs. Philadelphia, they hurried in to join the Fire Front Office staff in wishing head coach Frank Yallop a very happy 50th birthday...
Frank was much obliged by the gesture...
Want to thank all the fire front office and staff for a fantastic birthday surprise #cf97

From Brandon Marshall to Ron Harper, and Ozzie Guillen to Richard Dent, the new Harry Caray's Chicago Sports Museum and Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch at Water Tower Place was packed with familiar faces of Chicago sports' past and present on Tuesday night. You can add Chicago Fire's Mike Magee to that mix, as well.
Joined by teammates Quincy Amarikwa and Gonzalo Segares at the museum's VIP grand opening, the 2013 MLS MVP checked out various displays of Chicago sports memorabilia, among which was his own game-worn Fire jersey sitting in a glass case next to other jerseys worn by fellow Chicago professional athletes.
Magee's jersey wasn't the only Fire representation in the museum; Brian McBride's game-worn Fire jersey also sits among an elite group of Chicago sports gear, including Derrick Rose's Simeon High School jersey.
After exploring and engaging in several interactive sports displays, Magee, Amarikwa and Segares enjoyed an evening of Chicago sports camaraderie, chatting and mingling with a few fellow professional athletes and celebrities from area (such as James Denton and Billy Zane).
Magee even managed to reel in new Fire fans, including Brandon Marshall and Jarrett Payton as well as catching up with Fire fan Ozzie Guillen, who expressed interest in checking out Chicago's most recent MVP in action soon.

Josh Spires, from the University of Texas, is the Americas Region Winner for the 2011 Kodak Film School Cinematography Competition.
Spires' film, The Whale, follows a young boy who lives in an ephemeral fantasy to try and escape the cycle of paternal abuse.
"Cinematography is all about storytelling. All the way, 100%. If telling a story is your one true goal as cinematographer, everything else will follow. The light and glass and stock one uses are only means to an end, which should be a story worth telling."
"To me The Whale is all about cycles and perpetuation, so it was of utmost importance to us to reflect these themes in the cinematography. Choices such as limiting lens choice to 2 lenses, repeating specific camera moves across scenes, and naturalistic lighting were all made to simply serve the story. The story itself is one of tragedy and beauty, and I only hope that such tragedy and beauty is felt through the cinematography of The Whale."

Just throwing an idea out there... If there is a basic tutorial that holds infomation that is essential for later parts/docs I would make that a mandatory requirement for new newbie users to the site.
There is a fundamental flaw in this though. It would require a sign up for users to use the stuff. But something on that could be added to the sign up process could be an expertise choice, and that would make it so that only newbies are required to take/read the basic tutorial/doc.
Just a thought
