BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- The #cf97 hashtag exploded on Twitter Thursday night with news that Uruguayan international midfielder Arévalo Rios was headed to the Chicago Fire.
Where would the international spot come from?
Fire President of Soccer Operations Javier Leon has been public about the club seeking a loan for Dutch forward Sherjill MacDonald.
Italian back-up goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi is reportedly close to securing a green card.
Should those two moves occur, the Fire would free up two of their six current international spots, making way for the veteran of Uruguay's 2010 World Cup squad to be added to the roster.
More to come on Rios' Windy City arrival later on Chicago-Fire.com.
After a lackluster performance in the U.S. Open Cup semifinal loss earlier this week, the Fire must pick themselves up for Saturday's crucial Eastern Conference match against Montreal on Saturday evening at Toyota Park (LIVE 7pm CT on My50). The Impact are still sitting pretty in third place in the East and also played at midweek, beating San Jose 1-0 in CONCACAF Champions League play.
Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Starting stronger – better tempo from the Fire
Jeff Larentowicz summed up the game against D.C. well when asked how it compared to the 4-1 loss against the same opponent just weeks ago. He astutely observed, "The difference between this game and the last time we played them is that we scored early."
This might sound overly simplistic, but an early goal and a good start is extremely important.
In Wednesday's match, the team were positive in the opening exchanges but then allowed D.C. to set the tempo. Against Montreal this weekend, the Fire must come out of the gates quickly and play a very high-tempo game.
In Montreal's last game against D.C., the Red and Black had a very good opening 30 minutes and created a lot of chances. D.C.'s high-tempo start clearly caught Montreal off guard and it took the Canadian team a while to find their rhythm.
The Fire had a great start against Philly last weekend, scoring in the ninth minute. A repeat of that could put the Fire on course to picking up three more precious points Saturday night.
Attacking Montreal on the outside – wide play important
Against D.C. last weekend, Montreal looked vulnerable in the wide areas, especially when United got their wingbacks forward.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
The Fire are very good at allowing Gonzalo Segares and Jalil Anibaba to get forward and help in the attack, especially at home. I look for this to happen as often as possible against the Impact.
The advancement of the wing-backs also allows the Fire wingers to come into the middle and provide support to the strikers.
With the potential absence to Patrick Nyarko after Wednesday's head injury, the team will be relying on Joel Lindpere and Dilly Duka to have big games Saturday night.
Keeping an eye on Justin Mapp – former Fire player finding his groove in Canada
Like Dominic Oduro, many Chicago Fire fans are torn over former winger Justin Mapp. He is certainly one of the most frustrating players to ever wear the badge but his skill and talent was there for all to see.
After leaving the Fire, Mapp had two quiet years in Philly but has flourished in Montreal's 4-3-3 system, playing in one of the advanced wide positions, tallying two goals and four assists for the Impact this season.
Mapp is comfortable on both wings and is a very good crosser of the ball. He also likes to cut inside from the wing and combine with Patrice Bernier, Davy Arnaud and Felipe.
Though he might not be the fastest player on the field, Mapp is also very dangerous in the open field, often starting counter attacks for the Impact or looking for through balls to Marco Di Vaio.
Fire fans will also remember that the 28-year-old is very good in 1v1 situations and it will be up to players like Alex and Larentowicz to support the outside defenders and double team him whenever possible.
Mapp is not a physical player and can sometimes be "kicked" out of a game. Limiting the amount of time he has on the ball will be important for the Fire and a physical approach might be the answer.
Prediction: 1-0 Fire with a goal from Joel Lindpere.

The Fire head back to Toyota Park Wednesday night for the biggest game of the season to date, a U.S. Open Cup semifinal against D.C. United. Both teams enter the game on the back of wins and knowing they are only 180 minutes away from a CONCACAF Champions League place.
With that in mind, league form goes out the window. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Slowing down D.C.'s new attack – avoiding the Silva/DeRo red herring
United Coach Ben Olsen has used the 4-4-1-1 formation for most of this season but due to a number of factors, namely not scoring many goals and a numerous injuries, he is constantly changing his front two.
In last week's match against Montreal, D.C. started Dwayne DeRosario and Luis Silva to great effect with both players' movement caused Montreal problems, especially in the first 30 minutes.
Both took turns holding the line while the other dropped deep, making it difficult for the Impact to track. With Silva scoring three goals in his last three matches, it is easy to claim that both he and DeRo are the major threats to the Fire tonight, but that argument is too simplistic.
In reality, both strikers have benefited greatly from some fantastic play from both the wide men and outside defenders in recent matches. Montreal's lack of high pressure allowed D.C.'s outside defenders to act as auxiliary wingers at times, putting dangerous crosses into the Impact's box.
With the defenders pushing up high, the wide midfielders were able to tuck inside and support the strikers in the box or pick up great positions just outside it.
For the Fire to be successful tonight, the team must not allow D.C.'s outside defenders to get forward as often as Montreal did. To do this requires a combination of high pressure from forwards such as Mike Magee and Chris Rolfe as well as positive attacking play from the outside mids, which will force D.C.'s defenders to stay back.
Minimizing set pieces – not allowing DC any unearned opportunities
In a cup semifinal, one mistake, or one brilliant piece of skill, can define the outcome. Countless knockout matches have been decided this way and it always leaves the losing team asking why they allowed an avoidable goal to be scored against them.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
Playing as the away team and knowing the Fire's strengths on the counter attack, D.C. will not be flooding players forward needlessly in tonight's match. When set pieces present themselves however, the Black and Red will be looking to profit.
In the Fire's last match against Philly, the team played very well defensively but again failed to keep a clean sheet. The Union goal came from a needlessly given up free kick resulting in the ball being bundled over the line.
Fire players must not rush into tackles and need to try and avoid giving up corners whenever possible. D.C. may be lacking in goals this season but giving up a set piece when DeRo is on the field could decide the match in D.C.'s favor.
Quick transitions to the attack – by any means possible
In recent tactical previews, I have lauded Patrick Nyarko for consistently pressuring defenders in the Fire's offensive third of the pitch and forcing turnovers.
In last weekend's match against Philly, Paddy did it again, winning the ball and bursting forward before dishing to Mike Magee who smashed in the winner.
Last weekend's match also demonstrated how quick transitions can come from all areas of the pitch.
Goalkeeper Sean Johnson constantly looked to distribute the ball quickly and launch an attack through his kicking. Whenever Johnson collected the ball from a cross or shot, he looked for outlet runs and was able to pick out those of Rolfe, Magee and co. with his long kicks.
Supersub Quincy Amarikwa also demonstrated how pressuring defenders on long balls can result in turnovers. Late in the game, he challenged Amobi Okugo in the air before stalking the center back and forcing a turnover just outside the Philly box.
But for some better finishing, the Fire would've scored a third goal and effectively ended the match. A quick turnover from a player like Nyarko or an accurate kick out from Johnson could open up the DC defense tonight.
Prediction: I have seen the Fire win and lose U.S. Open Cup semifinals and know that games like this are almost always very tight and tense. 1-0 Fire with the goal coming from Patrick Nyarko.
At Toyota Park in May, Philly sat back, let the Fire run circles around them like some mean, old dog, then got a seemingly innocuous free kick and suddenly Jack McInerney, in on goal, kicked the team straight in the gut. That game felt like a one-act play, where the characters on stage build to an obvious conclusion, some grotesque act that you know is coming but still shocks and hurts when you see it live.
This Saturday, the Fire went to Philly to continue their climb back into the playoff picture and battled in a Three Act work of considerable drama. Each was punctuated by a goal. Here's the liner notes, starring Philly and Chicago, two mysterious characters.
Act One, The Set-Up (0-45')
Kick off. Philly comes out first, Chicago wakes up slowly, stretches arms to the sky, makes coffee, realizes it's in the middle of a game, and immediately pops into action. Philly, who tried to come out with high and tight pressure, find themselves being passed around in sequences of quick one-twos and flicks, like those that lead to a beautiful first goal, with not even 10 minutes gone.
Philly broadcasters (the chorus), clamor for more "intensity" from the home team. The Fire look comfortable but ominously cannot extend their lead. They start to slow down a bit and Philly enjoy a few minutes of confidence-boosting possession at the end of the half, including a couple of dangerous free kicks. The plot thickens.
Act Two, The Montage (45'-54')
This short intervening act provides the backbone of the drama. A little character development. Fresh off their orange slices, Philly and Chicago come out ready to party again.
Like Act One, Philly threaten first (Conor Casey flashes a shot just wide of goal two minutes in), but Chicago recovers and takes the upper hand. How predictable is this? Chicago finds space everywhere and kick off a few minutes of possession in the opponent's half like we haven't seen all season.
Cue montage and "Danger Zone." A few not particularly interesting forays forward foreshadow something for Philly, but Chicago cruises.
What can go wrong?
Act Three, The Climax (54-90)
The Montage ends. The motorcycle crashes. Le Toux gets in on Chicago's right and Sean Johnson makes a kick save. Chicago attacks and Rolfe finds enough space to squeeze a shot off - but Zac MacMath tips it over the bar. Go time. Philly go forward and get their goal with 30 minutes left - so much time for both to fight out the end.
Suddenly Philly is everywhere. Sean Johnson makes an impossible save off a corner. Another is cleared off the line. Chicago is wavering badly, Philly is matching Chicago's dominance from Act Two.
There is no music. Chicago fights with their inner identity battle between the disappointments early in the year and their confidence to close games. (Mike Magee said after the game, "I think there was a point in the 65th minute where we had been getting pummeled the whole half and we all kind of looked at each other and said this game is there for us to win.")
Two subs come on in the 67th, as Klopas tries to overturn Philly's momentum.
And then it happens, the climax. Chicago confronts Philly. They continue pressing. The spirit of fight and persistence embodied in Mike Magee and Patrick Nyarko combine with harrowing pressure. Nyarko fights the ball loose from a Philly midfielder and plays in Magee. Magee finishes calmly.
Your girlfriend is crying, but there's still twenty minutes time! The drama carries over but the game is rarely in doubt. A penalty shout scares the audience, so nobody leaves their seats. Then the violin music. A stoppage time kiss at the sunset. Chicago steals the points.
Select shots from the Fire's 2-1 win over the Union
SOURCE: USA Today Sports Images
The Fire head east to Philly on Saturday night to take on the Union in a critical Eastern Conference clash (LIVE 6:30pm CT on My50). After earning a credible come-from-behind draw in Houston last weekend, the Men in Red will be confident of picking up all three points (and extracting some revenge) at PPL Park.
Here are some things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective.
Isolating Jeff Parke – getting behind and in 1v1 situations with the Union defender
Similar to the Fire, individual errors have cost the Union in recent matches and veteran defender Jeff Parke has been the weak link in the Union defense over the past few MLS games.
Though excellent in the air, his positioning errors or slack marking led to numerous chances created for the opposing team. In both matches against Chivas and Houston, Parke was either forced or strayed out of position, leaving room behind him to be exploited.
READ: Duka, Alex look healthy for Philadelphia clash
With the ability of Magee and Rolfe to drop into deeper positions to pick up the ball and thus drag defenders like Parke out of position, the other Fire players must recognize these opportunities when they arise and try and take advantage of them.
Staying with the runners – trying to limit giving up preventable goals
In soccer, there is a major difference between giving up a 30 yard screamer and giving up a tap in because a defender decided to switch off and not follow his runner.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
All too often for the Fire this season giving up easy goals and frequently going a goal behind has been the teams M.O. Fire center back Bakary Soumare has made more than one costly error over the past month, most recently on the Dynamo goal last weekend and the center-back will be looking for a solid performance against his old club on Saturday.
With that being said, the defense as a whole has been guilty of individual errors which has meant that the team's last clean sheet in league play was nine games ago, twelve if you count all matches. As I have mentioned in previous previews, a clean sheet, especially in an away game, would be a major positive for the Fire.
Against a team with such attacking threats as Philly, a clean sheet would also give the back line confidence heading into the biggest game of the season to date, the U.S. Open Cup Semifinal against D.C. on Wednesday (TICKETS).
Taking advantage of the diamond system – pressuring Philly in their defensive third
The Union usually use a system similar in some ways to the Fire, deploying only one recognized defensive midfielder. In Philly's case this is stalwart Brian Carroll.
Carroll plays in the "Makelele role," sitting in front of the back four, breaking up attacks and rarely venturing into the opposing team's attacking third. In this system, the assumption is that Carroll will not give up possession or be ahead of the ball in his defensive third.
READ: Mike Magee is the cover boy in the latest edition of MLS Overlap
One way to counter this system is to pressure Carroll and the Philly defenders when they have the ball and try and force turnovers in their defensive third.
We all saw how effective this tactic can be on the Fire's goal last weekend. Patrick Nyarko stole the ball from a Dynamo defender before bursting into the box and crossing to Mike Magee for a tap in finish. A similar turnover on Saturday night could lead to the winning goal for the Fire.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Magee and Alex.

A few months ago, a young Chicago filmmaker reached out to the Fire. His name was Parker Heaps, and he was with a new organization called World FC.
He reached out to the Club because he and his partners had just begun filming a documentary, the basis of which would feature their own road trip from Chicago to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The goal of the film was not only to document their travels, but more importantly, bring to light how soccer affects communities on a local, national and global level. They would also be donating gently used soccer equipment to those communities in need along the way.
On May 31, Parker and the guys came out to Toyota Park to speak with some of players, in particular those with a wide range of global soccer experience.
They spoke with Alex, a Brazilian, where soccer is king; Wells Thompson, an American who has spent time playing soccer in Africa; as well as Estonian Joel Lindpere, who has played soccer all over the globe, including Bulgaria and Norway. Once the interviews were done, the guys made plans to come back on June 2 for the Fire game against D.C. United, to capture images of the game, as well as with Chicago's amazing fans.
When the guys arrived at the park, I was also able to introduce them to Fire owner Andrew Hauptman. An avid soccer fan, as well as philanthropist and co-founder of City Year Los Angeles, Andrew was interested to learn more about their specific project and decided that he'd like to down with the guys and offer his additional perspective for the film.
Now, two months later, we're especially excited to see that the first trailer for the film is available online. Check it out below and also be sure to follow the guys on Twitter @TheWorldFC. Wish them luck as they make their way to Brazil as we're sure they will make Chicago proud.
MLSsoccer.com and Howler Magazine have released the second edition of Overlap and look who's on the cover!
It's #MLSALLSTAR and Chicago Fire goal-scorer extraordinaire Mike Magee.
You'll laugh, and you'll cry (not really) as Daniel Libit explores Mike Magee's return back home to Chicago, and how he has provided "the spark" that the Men in Red needed to get back on track.
That's all i'm giving away, now go read it for yourself!
Overlap is available on iPad and Android tablet.
Just like the podcast, GifTuesday is also making it's triumphant return. This week Mike Magee reminds us that he had a little help scoring his goal in Houston.

ADAMS The importance of families eating together will be the highlight of South Jefferson Central School Districts inaugural South Jeff Family and Community Wellness Fair scheduled for Saturday.
Its the fact that the family unit is not eating together like they used to do in the old days, said Fred Morris, who does community relations work for the South Jeff Backpack Program, which helps provide food and other supplies to children and families in need. The importance of family meals has kind of been forgotten.
He said the event will offer several wellness activities and educational programs.
The main portion of the fair, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Clarke Building, Route 11, will be the kickoff of the South Jeff Family Mealtime Challenge.
The two-week challenge will call on families to plan and eat multiple meals together from Nov. 3 to 15. Participants then will be eligible to win a Kindle Fire tablet computer as the grand prize. Cindy C. Phillips, the New York Beef Industry Councils director of nutrition education, will give a presentation about the importance of families eating together to jump-start the challenge.
Admission to the fair is free, but the South Jeff Backpack Program will be collecting food donations.
Also during the event, Syracuse Womens Lacrosse head coach Gary Gait will hold a lacrosse clinic for boys and girls of all ages. The clinic will take place from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
For more information and to register for the clinic, visit http://wdt.me/wxaXz4.

The Language Of Drumming - Redefining Drum Dvd's
i know that for a very long time now, benny has been working on his instructional dvd. long before any of the actual recordings have started, benny was thinking about the educational concepts, contents, and look of the dvd. we have had many conversations about it and benny filled me in on some of his ideas. already then it has sounded new and exciting to me. later on, benny began to speak with rob and paul from hudson music about all the other negotiations, financial issues, and a lot of other things.
all of a sudden the recordings for the dvd began. it seemed like as if things were going according to everyone's plan and everything got done quickly. everytime i spoke with him about the recordings, i had the feeling as if he was happy with the outcome. knowing benny and how picky he can be, i kind of already figured that the dvd will be very special.
times goes on - and benny did all the editing and mastering. at that time finally i was able to see some of pictures from the recordings. that was about two months ago.
then, i will never forget, benny and i hung out at the superdrumming festival in austria together with felix lehrmann at his hotelroom until five in the morning and benny showed us some finalized dvd-footage on his laptop. neither i, nor felix have seen anything like it before. benny's true and original humour is captured in many ways, the camera work is unique, and benny's lifelong practising and studying finds its peak on that dvd.
last week at pasic in austin, texas all of benny's main sponsors (namely meinl, sonor, promark, remo, and hudson) got together to discuss the promotion of benny and his dvd for 2009. a lot of brainstorming and ideas were shared and now it's our job to channel all our efforts in the right direction to get the most out of it. trust me, there will be a lot going on next year :-)
to begin with, here is the official dvd teaser. it gives you a nice little preview about how it is going to look like. a series of five sneak-preview video podcasts have also been produced. the first one will go live on december 01st. stay tuned for those.
on a personal note: due to the nature of my job, i own almost all instructional drum dvd's available. some of them are nice to watch. with some others, i have started to actually begin practicing again in order improve my own playing. so far i have always failed and stopped working with them. benny's upcoming dvd is titled "the language of drumming - a system of musical expression". it kind of shows you the "DNA" of drumming and how to use it musicaly. benny explained some of DNA concept that to me already and i promise that with that dvd i will get back into my practice space to further develop my own playing. benny and his concept is going to be extremely motivational and fits for players of all levels whether you are a beginner or pro. to me, benny is one of the most inspirational artists (not just drummers) in the world right now.
enjoy the teaser, and everything else that is going to come our way.

PROVIDENCE -- If you measure progress by wins, the Rhode Island men's basketball team has certainly made progress in coach Dan Hurley's second season.
After winning just eight games last season, the Rams picked matched last season's win total Wednesday night against Brown.
Senior guard Xavier Munford had his most efficient day night of the season with 25 points on just 18 shots and freshman E.C. Matthews scored 21 points to earn the Rams their first road win of the season with a 75-68 victory over the Bears at the Pizzitola Center.
"I'm excited about the win and I'm very excited about the performance," Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley said. "To pick up our eighth win with everything this young group has been through since the season started, I'm really proud of them and proud of where we're at."
"Obviously Matthews and Munford were fantastic," Brown coach Mike Martin said. "Those two caused problems for us, but I thought the kid (Rhody freshman Hassan Martin) was really a game changer, especially in the first half."
Rhode Island (8-6) led by as many as 20 points early in the second half thanks to the stellar play of Munford, Matthews and Martin (six blocks and nine rebounds), but Brown senior shooting guard Sean McGonagill, Tavon Blackmon and Norman Hobble shot the Bears back into the game.
McGonagill, who led his team with 24 points, scored seven straight points and then Hobbie made a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to just 10 with 6:33 left in the game.
Brown (6-6) cut the gap to just two with 3:16 left on a Blackmon 3-pointer and Brown nearly took the lead, but Blackmon's left-win 3-pointer didn't fall and the Bears were outscored 8-2 over the final 80 seconds.
"We settled down in the second half by limiting our turnovers," Martin said. "We made a few shots, but the thing we did in the second half to get back into the game was string together some stops. Congratulations to the University of Rhode Island, we're disappointed with the loss."
Brown couldn't get stops in the first half because the Bears' man-to-man defense had no answer for Matthews and Munford. Matthews made three of his four 3-pointers and five of his seven shots in the opening half, while Munford scored 13 points in the opening 20 minutes.
Steven Speith buried a 3-pointer to put the Bears ahead and the home side continued to lead the game until McGonagill fouled Matthews shooting a corner 3-pointer. The freshman made the shot and helped URI go on a 25-8 run over the final 6:30.
"My mental game is much better right now," Matthews said of his career after just 14 games. "I think the more games I play the better I get."
Rhode Island stretched the lead all the way to 24 early in the second half on a Martin layup before the Bears made a spirited comeback and nearly took down Rhode Island for the second time in as many tries at the Pizzitola Center.
"We have a lot of one-on-one players on our team. A lot of athletic players who can go by their man and create something," Munford said.

Big chains shouldn't lump e-commerce in with their same-store sales reports.
As a student of online retailing and an avid collector of business-to-consumer e-commerce statistics, I am used to merchants disclosing their web-related sales in all sorts of ways.
When asked, some merchants will tell you what their web sales are during the course of an interview. It's not top secret, world peace doesn't hang in the balance and they tell the press what their web sales are because they're proud of their track record. But other publicly traded retailers, especially the biggest chains, tend to bury e-commerce sales figures in their earnings press releases and quarterly filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. They also like to reveal how much sales grew online during their quarterly earnings calls with Wall Street analysts.
Either way pulling e-commerce sales information from chain retailers is like pulling teeth, although a trip to the dentist can be a lot more fun. My point here is that investors and the industry want to hear more about how e-commerce is driving the top and bottom line performance at many of the nation's biggest and most prestigious chains—and not less.
But for every step forward some chains take in breaking out more public e-commerce numbers, others take a big step back. Hats are off to J.C. Penney Co. No. 16 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, and Ann Inc. (formerly Ann Taylor Stores Corp. and No. 122) for being among the latest group of chains to disclose quarterly web sales.
For the chains taking a step back we can add Nordstrom Inc. (No. 29), Express Inc. (No. 144), dEliA*s Inc. (No. 152) and Coldwater Creek Inc. (No. 78) to the list. Coldwater Creek and dEliA*s have stopped reporting the Internet as a percentage of sales of their direct revenue. Their reasoning: The direct channel is all one bucket so why bother breaking it down any further.
I can see that. But the bigger mystery to me is why other chains such as Nordstrom are no longer breaking out any direct sales at all or, in the case of Express, folding e-commerce sales into comparable-store sales.
Nordstrom says it will combine direct and store sales into just one figure because "it best reflects how our customer is shopping with us." Express going forward will begin to report e-commerce sales in its comparable-store sales because it "believes that reporting comparable sales inclusive of stores and e-commerce is a more appropriate gauge of performance, as this is how it is viewed and evaluated internally, and is consistent with its customers' preference to shop across channels."
What this says to me is that some chain retailers are taking a very myopic view of their financial reporting. Chain retailers run lots and lots of stores so it's important that every 30 days and every quarter the CEOs and chief financial officers of those chains tell Wall Street and their investors how that part of the business is performing.
It's also equally important for those same CEOs and CFOs to begin breaking down key e-commerce operating statistics such as web sales, conversion rate and ticket. E-commerce is not a store operation and it smacks of inflating numbers if a chain chooses to include e-commerce revenue in its same-store sales reporting. By including the web in same-store sales, this method does inflate the metrics because web sales are growing faster than store sales.
Consumers shop by brand, and it's not just one big multichannel bucket of sales as some chains like to think. Understanding how e-commerce impacts top and bottom line performance is crucial in helping company managers, investors and employees understand how customers are shopping the brand. These days many transactions begin on the web and end in the store or online.
The chains understand foot traffic, and that's reflected in the myriad comparable-store sales metrics they regularly report out. The same approach also needs to be taken by the chains to include more e-commerce stats.
It's important to understand what's driving the business across all channels. And where more of the business is coming from these days is online.

Photos: Brewing Eccentric Ale with Jamie Floyd of Ninkasi Brewing Co., Eccentric Day 2012
We were joined by a very special guest in our Kalamazoo brewhouse on Eccentric Day Eve.
Jamie Floyd, owner and founding brewer of Ninkasi Brewing Co. in Eugene, Oregon, stopped by to help brew next year's batch of Eccentric Ale.
Traditionally, our guest brewers bring an ingredient or two to contribute to the recipe and Jamie did not disappoint. He brought honey and a combination of pureed squash, pumpkin and sweet potatoes - ingredients all local to the Eugene area - along with him.
That batch of Eccentric Ale, which will be released in December 2013, was also brewed with ginger, Michigan maple syrup and a variety of spices.
Below are a few more photos from our brew with Jamie.
Photos from this year's Eccentric Day are also now online. Take a look at them on our Flickr page, on the Eccentric Café's Facebook page or on Google+, depending on your preferred social network.
Also, If you haven't already, be sure to take a look at our post about how this year's eccentric menu came together as well.
A huge thank you to Jamie for everything - cheers!

I don't think the issue is interference. I think the issue is that most accidents happen during takeoff and landing, so having iPads flying around in case of severe turbulence or having iPads line the aisle during an evacuation would be bad.
If they were truly consistent with that logic, they wouldn't allow hardcover books, nor would they serve hot coffee.
They don't serve hot coffee during takeoff/landing.
First of all, the regulations call for mobile communication devices such as iPads to never be used during flight. There have been times I've been told to turn off my iPad during cruise even if it was in "Airplane mode." During takeoff and landing, they ask passengers to stow ALL items under the seat or in the overheads. If you think this article is vouching for use of iPads during takeoff and landing, you are mistaken. Second of all, you also mentioned severe turbulence which can happen at any phase of the flight. My point stands that if you believe their justification for banning use of iPads during the flight is due to the possibility of them flying around during severe turbulence, it's inconsistent logic.
This is actually wrong.
The regulations call for for mobile devices to not be used in flight until 10,000ft, which then can devices with a game-only or airplane mode be used. Anything else with a radio device must remain off.
Either way, that is what the FCC is challenging, as it is those radio devices that RECEIVE ONLY that can not be allowed to be turned in Part 121 operations (commercial flights).
You should also note that this regulation does NOT apply for Part 91 (General Aviation/fractional) nor Part 135 (Charter/commuter/on-demand) operations, so you have ambiguity there on what the actual problem is. So it seems to me that with that ambiguity, either the regulation is not being applied across the board as it should be, or the regulation is wrong because the potential threat of what those devices could do is not real nor has been completely proven.
(Duplicate Squawk Submitted)
AskIng FAA To Reconsider Electronics Ban During Takeoff, Landing
The chairman of the FCC has sent a letter to the Acting Administrator of the FAA asking that the agency reconsider its ban on the use of some portable electronic devices during takeoff and landing. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski wrote that the FAA should "enable greater use of tablets, e-readers, and other portable devices" during commercial flights.

Monsanto, DuPont Lead Campaign to Defeat GM Labeling in California
September 4, 2012 | Kara Sissell
Monsanto and DuPont are the top contributors to a campaign opposing California's Proposition 37, which would require labels on most foods made with genetically modified (GM) ingredients. Voters in California will decide Proposition 37 on November 6. If approved, Proposition 37 would make California the first state in U.S. to require labeling of GM foods. Opponents of Proposition 37 have raised nearly $25 million, about nine times more than the amount raised by proponents of the measure, according to local press reports. Monsanto has so far contributed...

If the FCC gets its way you might be able to rest a little easier when it comes to your cell phone bill. In an intitiative spearheaded by Joel Gurin, the head of the FCC's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, the days of seeing an extremely high cell phone bill will become a thing of the past. Gurin is trying to eliminate "bill shock" through a system where phone carriers would notify mobile subscribers via an unspecified method if their current cell phone usage is likely to result in a bill that is significantly higher than their normal monthly plan.
A similar system has been in place in the European Union since 2009 and has been a resounding success. Said Gurin: "We're issuing a Public Notice to see if there's any reason that American carriers can't use similar automatic alerts to inform consumers when they are at risk of running up a high bill. This is an avoidable problem. Avoiding bill shock is good for consumers and ultimately good business for wireless carriers as well."
I think this a great idea and will help protect consumers from running up an extremely large cell phone bill. With more and more consumers switching over to smartphones they may not know how much data they are using if they are on a limited plan. Instead of having to manually check in on their account all of the time the mobile carrier could send them alerts letting them know when they are nearing their monthly data, text or voice limits. If someone would go over their monthly allotment then it is completely their fault as their mobile carrier did the best they could to alert them that they may be reaching their limits which would result in a higher bill.

Here's a link for you regarding the whole history, having such information can help with the sale of it:
Signals Production Branch History Part 2, Wireless Set No. 19 Group . War related items of course sell best to collectors of Militaria, I would suggest contacting dealers and auction houses that specialize in WW2 related items. If they do not wish to deal with your item they can probably hook you up with an interested collector. Another avenue would be to contact collctors of military vehicle these would have been used in, I think this would be one of the hardest items to find needed to complete a vehicle restoration.

Much of the hard labor at north country dairy farms the milking of cows, tilling of fields is done by foreign workers. But the often unclear legal status of these workers is an issue that most farmers often keep mum about, for fear of having their farms unexpectedly shut down.
Farmers here are optimistic, however, that a retooled program for agricultural workers in the immigration bill passed by the Senate last month could offer a solution to that problem. The new W-visa agricultural worker program which would replace the H-2A program would allow foreign workers to be employed on farms for three-year renewable stints. Thats a significant advantage over the one year allowed by the H-2A program, which is used by fruit and vegetable farmers to hire seasonal workers.
The W-visa program would permit foreign workers to cross the border and work for agriculture employers designated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to the bill. While here, these workers would be allowed to leave one job for another to work for multiple designated farms; theyd be required to leave the country only if they are unemployed for 60 or more days.
Immigrants would have to apply for the W-visa program at U.S. embassies and consulates in their home countries. And employers seeking to hire immigrants would have to prove they have tried to recruit locally to show there are no American workers available before visa workers are hired. Employers also would be required to pay visa workers the higher of the minimum wage or specified wage rates, and offer on-site housing or a housing allowance.
Undocumented agricultural workers now here on farms would be eligible for an immigrant status called a blue card, according to the bill. To qualify, workers must prove theyve performed at least 575 hours or 100 work days of agricultural employment over a two-year period ending Dec. 31, 2012, along with paying a penalty and passing a background check. That blue-card status may remain active for up to eight years, but workers will not be eligible for federal public benefits. Blue-card workers may apply for permanent resident status five years after enactment of the bill. If they keep their permanent status for five more years, workers then may apply for U.S. citizenship.
Both the W-visa and blue-card agricultural programs would take effect in 2015. The two programs also will be woven into the bill to be considered by the House, where the Republican majority will make passage more challenging, Rep. William L. Owens said Monday during a phone interview.
The agriculture programs have the best chance of anything we are currently discussing to solve the labor problem experienced by dairy farmers in the north country, said Mr. Owens, D-Plattsburgh.
Dairy farmers said they like two things about the bill: first, it provides them with much-needed, long-term labor not available locally; second, providing workers with legal papers could eliminate the risk farmers face of being shut down from inadvertently hiring undocumented workers.
For medium to large dairy farms, finding reliable local workers to fill labor positions is challenging, Ellisburg dairy farmer Douglas W. Shelmidine said. He owns a 1,500-acre, 720-cow farm manned by 17 employees.
The farm employs immigrant workers, and Mr. Shelmidine said all are here legally.
While weve tried to stay with local workers, weve had a great deal of difficulty keeping shifts filled, he said.
Mr. Shelmidine said that although he supports the W-visa program in the federal immigration bill, hes against the provision requiring agriculture employers to prove they have sought to hire local workers first. Farms would have to prove theyve posted open positions at a job-bank website, for example.
I have real reservations about it, because its another hoop weve got to jump through, Mr. Shelmidine said.
But hiring immigrant workers under longer-term contracts is attractive to Mr. Shelmidine because high employee turnover can mean deep cuts to the operations bottom line.
We spend weeks of training before people can milk cows and do their jobs without direct supervision, he said. Any time we have to transition workers, theres a huge profit loss to us, so long-term employment is absolutely critical. Three years (in the bill) is good, but I believe it should be longer.
Even more important, Mr. Shelmidine said, would be the assurance that foreign workers are here legally.
There will be widespread interest to participate in any kind of program where we can obtain a legal workforce without Big Brother coming in shutting you down, he said.
Determining whether immigrant workers are here legally has been an ongoing challenge for farmers in the north country, said Michael B. Kiechle, president of the Jefferson County Farm Bureau. It remains to be seen, he said, whether immigration reform can provide a foolproof solution to the problem.
These workers present farmers with documents that look legal, said Mr. Kiechle, who owns a small dairy farm in Philadelphia. And its hard for an employer to look at a document and understand if its legal or forged. And if they dont hire workers, they can call it discrimination because of race.
A bipartisan group in the House composed of four Democrats and three Republicans is expected to introduce a bill soon that could be brought to the floor for a vote, Mr. Owens said. But drawing enough Republican votes to reach the 218 needed for passage could be a challenge.
He said the bill likely will be passed by one of the following scenarios: House Speaker John A. Boehner will either have to bring the bill forward and count on Democratic support for passage, or what you may see is a filing of a discharge petition. If a bill gets 218 signatures, it has to be brought to the floor for a vote. That doesnt work very often, but this is a serious enough issue that it could happen.

I'm a ASP Migrater to PHP
I wanna ask how do I establish a connection to my .mdb, update and display it? I'm using it for my hit counter. Previously, in ASP, the way I did it was:
Create ADODB.Connection object
Create ADODB.RecordSet object
Open RecordSet using SQL and Connection
RecordSet("hit") = RecordSet("hit") + 1
Update RecordSet
"This is the $RecordSet("hit") times visited"
When it comes to PHP I got lost and can't find any tutorial on databases. Can someone help me? Thanks.

BlackBerry will be launching their BlackBerry PlayBook on the 19th of April, and those who have been anxiously awaiting the tablet can breathe a sigh of relief because it looks as though Research In Motion themselves will be handling customer support for the popular tablet, much in the same way that Apple does with their devices like unlocked iPhone 4. Most of the time Research In Motion works with the carriers that sell products to get through the customer support, but are likely looking for the BlackBerry PlayBook to be a much more personal experience.
Usually, you can only get ah old of Research In Motion after you have gone through the proper carrier channels. The Wi-Fi PlayBook will be available to users at a number of different retail outlets. This is the first time that Research In Motion will serve as the first official contact point for users who are experiencing trouble with their devices.
The company is looking to implement an "Apple Care" style of support that will allow users to go directly through them. The only downside is that they lack the number of retail locations that Apple does, which could make it a little more difficult for users to get the support that they are looking for.
They will offer complimentary support for the first 90 days that the tablet will be released, and will also offer a limited warranty for every device and a BlackBerry Total Care program that will allow users to receive care for their device for as long as they are willing to pay for it once the limited warranty plan has ended. There are many different options available to people that are looking at purchasing the PlayBook and were hoping for more support. RIM is a renowned company, and new users should be excited to see if they are able to live up to their name in terms of support.
PureMobile carries a wide range unlocked BlackBerry cell phone accessories and unlocked BlackBerry cell phones like unlocked BlackBerry Bold 9780, BlackBerry Curve 9300, etc.

Quilt-a-Long | Final Block Done!
The next decision was what fabrics and colors to use. I actually couldn't decide between two different variations ... so I made both! I figured I could decide which one to use after seeing the final result. I've already decided to use the one above, but here's the alternative:
I added some borders to it because I figured I'd make it into a pillow. It can either be a companion piece to my finished quilt or, with the holidays approaching, it may very well become a gift. I already have someone in mind ...
And, as always, I've put together a mosaic of what the final quilt might look like. This is just a random arrangement so it's not necessarily the layout I will choose, but I think it gives a good idea nontheless. I just bought some more white fabric for sashing strips between the blocks, and I think I'm just going to stick with small squares of the various different fabrics as cornerstones ... unless anyone has any better ideas ... ... ...?
I'm really excited to start pulling this one together. Think I can have it done by Christmas??
18 comments:
Fantastic blocks! If you try hard you can finish by the holidays, but sometimes life gets in the way. How did you make the mosaic and post to the blog? Is that Flickr too?ReplyDelete
Love the fabric choice in your last block - is that the quilt along and the star quilt along together?ReplyDelete
Wow! You have been really busy. This is going to be so beautiful and I think you can have it done by Christmas. The sashing and cornerstones will go quick, right?ReplyDelete
In regards to your block for me, no worries! I love the wonkiness of it, and I think it will blend beautifully. On the triangle quilt that Amandajean is doing, I will twist your arm if you twist mine. I can alsways say, John made me do it! :)
I love the use of the striped fabric and the way all the strips go in the same direction.ReplyDelete
I love the blue/brown star. I always thought that it was a hard pattern until I looked at it one night and figured it out - it is all half-square triangles. I love the magic of piecing quilt squares.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, how I love Full Moon Forest!ReplyDelete
Wow - great work! You have a delicious sense of color, and this is going to be a great quilt.ReplyDelete
Oooh the brown/blue combo is delicious! Nicely done John! That quilt is too charming, I love it!ReplyDelete
you can do it! it's always good to have a deadline.ReplyDelete
Love that blue and brown block. In fact, your whole colour shceme works really well! By Christmas? Easy! (If you don't have another dozen to do at the same time like I do!)ReplyDelete
John, Thanks for your recent visit to my new blog. I have enjoyed looking over your blog, especially your most recent posting of the quilt squares. Very nice.ReplyDelete
Congrats on finishing! I love those Full Moon Forest fabrics.ReplyDelete
Oh John - they're all amazing! Really - spectacular. You have a great eye for color!ReplyDelete
Congrats! Beautiful as always. Can't wait to see it all put together.ReplyDelete
I like the blue and brown block too! But I love blue and brown,and have so much blue and brown stash and blue and brown quilts!(And it's pretty much the only colors i wear!) easy to pack that way! sure you can get it done by xmas! good luck!ReplyDelete
I think brown and white in the sashing would look good - if you are asking.ReplyDelete
your blocks are so fantastic! I am excited to see this one finished.ReplyDelete

POTSDAM It has been nearly a year since a sudden wind storm ripped the roof from Sergis Italian Restaurant at 10 Market St. Now, after months of repairs, the downtown mainstay has returned home home.
The restaurant reopened Wednesday. State Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, came to Potsdam to mark the occasion, as the first pizzas started baking back at the original location.
Its super. Its great to come home, said owner Sam Spagnolo.
Since the July 19 windstorm, Sergis has operated out of a smaller temporary location at 38 Market St. The smaller kitchen led to a more limited menu, and Mr. Spagnolo said he is looking forward to bringing back the full Sergis experience.
Along with replacing the roof, the interior of the building was completely gutted and rebuilt during renovations. Nonetheless, longtime patrons should expect few changes in menu or decor when they return.
All the customers, everybodys always asking me, when will you come back? Mr. Spagnolo said. The estimated reopening was pushed back several times as the lengthy repairs continued, but now the wait is over.
Only the restaurant was reopened Wednesday. The banquet hall next door will need a few more weeks of repair.
The Spagnolo family owns the 38 Market St. location they occupied for the last year. Mr. Spagnolo said there are no new tenants for the building lined up, as he has been focusing on the repairs.

Detailed Description:
For many years the integrity of the stomach mucosal barrier is thought to be maintained by mucosal prostaglandins (PG) synthesized by COX-1. However, the notion that COX-1 protects the stomach and COX-2 induces inflammation may be over-simplistic. In animal studies, COX-2, but not COX-1, is expressed in experimental gastric ulcer. Inhibition of COX-2 delays ulcer healing, indicating that PG derived from COX-2 contributes to restoring the mucosal barrier [1]. Whether this animal observation can be generalized to the human stomach is unknown. To date the biological functions of COX-1 and COX-2 in the healing of human gastric ulcer healing is unclear. Unlike experimental ulcers that only express COX-2, recently we have shown that both COX-1 and COX-2 are up-regulated in human gastric ulcers [2]. Furthermore, our preliminary results suggest that inhibition of COX-2 alone may not lead to a clinically significant delay in ulcer healing (refer to progress report). These observations suggest that peptic ulcer healing is more complex in the human stomach - both COX isoforms may be involved in the healing process. Inhibition of COX-2 alone may have less adverse effect than non-selective inhibition of both COX isoforms in ulcer healing. The current study aims to resolve the functional significance of COX-2 in human gastric ulcer from a biological and clinical perspective.

2014 Preseason, Orlando: Days 1 & 2
After two days in Orlando the Black & Gold have settled nicely into the final phase of 2014 preseason training camp. Temperatures in the mid-70s have provided a shock to the systems of players and staff members who were dealing with Ohio's winter chill only a handful of days ago, but so far Crew boss Gregg Berhalter is happy with his side's effort this week.
"It's been good.The first day obviously the guys needed to get back into the rhythm of playing on a grass field and playing in warm conditions. It's been a little adjustment, but the team has responded with two great sessions and a good effort and an overall high level of training," commented Berhalter.
With only 18 days between the Crew and its 2014 MLS opener at RFK Stadium against D.C. United, Berhalter acknowledges the importance of Orlando camp for team cohesion and finalizing his first-choice lineup.
Said the Crew boss, "We see this camp as a crucial step toward the start of the season. We're looking to gain match fitness and to get the group together and finalize the starting eleven. It's a good group of guys – and we're going to need experience to bind us together – but we're starting to roll-up our sleeves and I think as we build on these experiences we're going to continue to gel."
With four preseason matches in Orlando over the next two weeks, the Black & Gold will have ample opportunity to solidify their regular-season preparations, beginning with Toronto FC tomorrow at the Disney Pro Soccer Classic (1:00 p.m. ET).

Nokia has partnered with Microsoft and plans to get back into the smartphone game with the launch of Windows 8-based devices. According to a source who prefers to remain anonymous, Nokia will be making their plans public at Nokia World next month.
Nokia officials aren't commenting on the rumors, but Arnaud Bauduin, a Paris-based fund manager at Ofi Asset Management said on the matter, "To come back, they either need to surf on a Microsoft success in mobile or become cool again -- two complicated challenges."
Nokia's Lumia devices entered the market 9 months ago, but service providers like AT&T chose not to carry them. Since many customers didn't know about the existence of the Lumia devices, this had a huge negative impact on sales.
To improve the visibility of the phones, Nokia will be using volunteers from its U.S. staff called Nokia's Army, to work with the salespeople at the major carriers. Nokia's Army will focus on educating the sales staff and customers about the Lumia alternative.
Nokia believes that timing of the launch of their new Windows 8-based devices is key. They plan to have their smartphones on the store shelves ahead of Apple's expected Sept. 12 unveiling of the new iPhone.
Nokia has a lot of ground to make up. Their U.S. market share is at approximately 2% as Q2 this year. In 2001, it peaked at 32 percent.
