Published in: User Breed Notes
The Leonberger is a large, strong, and muscular dog. Height at Withers (top of shoulder blades): dogs 72cm to 80cm (28.75 in to 32in) and bitches 65cm to 75cm (26in to 30in) Males in particular are powerful and strong. The colour varies between lion yellow, red-brown and sandy with black hair tips and a black mask, the underneath is lighter than the main colour. If your Leonberger is going be a show dog a small white patch on the chest or white hair on the toes will be tolerated but it is likely to lose you points in the show ring, as will too much black
Medium soft to coarse with long hair with a thick undercoat and a slight wave in the coat (found on most Leonberger's). The mane forming around the neck and chest is more evident on the males. There should be feathering on the back of the front legs and also on the tail, and breeches on the back legs.
Leonberger puppies do not need a lot of exercise as they need to rest or their bones will be damaged. Lead training at the puppy stage will save you a lot of excess lead pulling when the dog grows to adulthood. When the Leonberger is around 9 months old it is ready for longer walks but don't go over the top as his/her bones and muscles still need to strengthen. Free running is better than long walks (it also saves your arms). In adulthood the Leonberger becomes the all-terrain dog - where you go the Leo will go with you, even if you want to go swimming as they love water. His need for regular exercise will keep you fit as well.
The Leonberger is a very friendly and socialiable dog and will mix with all types of dogs. They especially love children as they are very protective of them and seem to have no limits when it comes to babies and toddlers being near them. Protective and loyal to their to their owners they are good watchdogs and will not bark unnecessarily.
The Leonberger as a pet
The cute little fur ball you got from the breeder will grow into a dog that stands 72cm to 80cm to the shoulders in about 18 months. Their growth rate is very fast so you will have a large and powerful dog with a puppy brain, and you will have to remind yourself how old he/she is and not go by size alone.
Training can be very frustrating as they can be a very slow / stubborn breed, they also love the water so if you have a pond you will need to put a fence around it. They will also go out in the rain and lay in it as it doesn't bother them, so get your wets out cause they will go for walks no matter what the weather is.
Get yourself a good vacuum cleaner as they tend to lose a lot of fur no matter how much you groom them - which should be done at least once a week, making sure you get all off the coat including the under coat.
They like company and don't like being left alone. They will lie by your side or on you as they are very affectionate (The nickname for the Leonberger is 'Lean-on-berger'!). Leos can look very intimating because of their size and other dog owners may be worried about this and they may tend to keep their dogs away which is unfortunate as the Leo will want to play and make friends, but often they do not get the chance they need to be sociable.
If you are seriously considering a Leonberger, then get in touch with the owners club who have a list of owners who will not mind if you visit them to see their dogs. I would advise you to take advantage of this opportunity before you purchase, as such a large dog is not for everyone. The cost of upkeep of a Leonberger is approx £20 a week, this includes food, insurance, treats and biscuits. Most owners agree on this being the average for one dog.

A breed I know little about but now thanks to your article I know a lot more. A very interesting and informative article.
Excellent insight into the Leonberger, thank you Leo.
A fantastic article marie!
Fantastic breed which i will one day have the pleasure of owning!
An interesting insight into your breed, thanks.
A very interesting article thank you Leo. Leonbergers are a breed I know very little about, with your help I now know a little more about them.
Excellent article - I've always wanted to know more about this lovely breed.
Lucky Star
Marie, Great article for would be owners- well done!!! xxxx
Having had the privilege of being owned by one for over 7 years, I have to say they are just about perfect: Gentle, calm, friendly and with a wonderful sense of humour. If you can survive the first year, which is tough because they have all the usual puppy faults (only much bigger and more troublesome due to their size and strength), you quickly forget how hard it was!

Massachusetts bishop will escape trial for drunk driving; pleads guilty to lesser charge
Catholic World News - May 14, 2013
Drunk-driving charges against Bishop Robert McManus of Worcester, Massachusetts, will be dismissed, after the bishop pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, his lawyer has said.
Bishop McManus agreed to plead guilty to refusing a chemical sobriety test. For that offense, he will lose his driver's license for 6 months, and be required to pay about $950 in fines and court costs.
After his arrest on May 4 following a hit-and-run accident, Bishop McManus issued a public statement admitting a "terrible error in judgment" and promising to "accept the consequences of my action." He then entered a not-guilty plea on the drunk-driving charges. He apparently will not face charges for leaving the scene of an accident.

From Wednesday 02 May 2012, South Africans' are expected to suffer another blow with petrol hike that will see motorist coughing up to R12.22 a litre for petrol.
The New Age took to the streets to find out how exactly will they be affected by another petrol hike on Wednesday.
Faeez Hasser who normally spends R2000 per month on petrol for her Honda hatch-back will now have to increase her fuel budget by R700.
"I am looking at R2700 per month. It's more like paying more for less" she said.
Mr. Peter Ntamu says; "I drive with my wife and we go to different work places. Before petrol there are factors like parking fees and traffic fines. I have to adjust my monthly petrol budget to R2500 per month as compared to the current R1700pm.
"Gautrain is not a good alternative because it comes with extra tail of costs."
Mia McDonald said she will have to increase her petrol budget from R1500-R2500pm, "and this is my daily travel to work" she added
Motorists have also taken to Twitter to vent their frustrations, below is what they had to say;
@mamelasifiso7: I no longer eat out at the restaurant and go there for coffee.
@Endleleni: The first big increase in petrol hit the taxi sector hard but the additional increase will certainly have negative bearing on business.
@2BMaqaks: It's not about what's fair but, their operating costs are going up as well.
@Juice the Awesome: Parking problems soon to be a thing of the past in SA as car owners' start selling their vehicles and buying Vukas.
The price of diesel will ascend to R11.03 a litre.

Second Summer of the Sisterhoodby Ann Brashares
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With a bit of last summer's sand in the pockets, the Traveling Pants and the sisterhood that wears them embark on their 16th summer.
Bridget: Impulsively sets off for Alabama, wanting to both confront her demons about her family and avoid them all at once.
Lena: Spends a blissful week with Kostos, making the unexplainable silence that follows his visit even more painful.
Carmen: Is concerned that her mother is making a fool of herself over a man. When she discovers that her mother borrowed the Pants to wear on a date, she's certain of it.
Tibby: Not about to spend another summer working at Wallman's, she takes a film course only to find it's what happens off-camera that teaches her the most.
"Brashares returns to the beloved characters she brought to life in her first novel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, for a new installment that's equally authentic and engaging. The story again rotates through the perspectives of lifelong friends Carmen, Lena, Tibby and Bridget, who stay connected during their summer adventures with help from a shared pair of jeans that look fantastic on each of them, despite their 'different sizes and shapes.' This time they struggle with their relationships with their mothers. Carmen sabotages her mother's new romance, slowly realizing that she's really afraid of someone coming between them. Meanwhile, depressed Bridget visits her estranged grandmother in Alabama, masquerading as a stranger; she faces her mother's past (she committed suicide years ago), and also learns, to her relief, that she is not exactly like her. Though initially hard to swallow, Bridget's story line is ultimately deeply moving. A few plot strands seem unnecessary (e.g., Lena's instant love connection with Carmen's step-brother after a devastating heartbreak) and readers unfamiliar with the first book may have a little trouble catching up. But these quibbles are easily overlooked in light of the full-bodied characters and their loving, often humorous interactions. Throughout the summer, the girls send each other emails and packages, and lend support ('You will never never never ever ever ever run out of chances. Don't you know that?' Bee writes to Carmen). The pants, meanwhile, don't start out magical, but end up being a symbol of strength to all. Ages 12-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[E]qually authentic and engaging....[Small] quibbles are easily overlooked in light of the full-bodied characters and their loving, often humorous interactions." Publishers Weekly
"[T]he author's sure ear for dialogue and her empathy for her protagonists' complicated emotions creates a story as comfortable as an old pair of jeans. A big, complex, satisfying sequel, sure to add to the author's legions of fans." Kirkus Reviews
"Brashares has done an outstanding job of showing the four teens growing up and giving readers a happy, ultimately hopeful book....Readers will want at least one more summer of the sisterhood of the traveling pants." Frances Bradburn, Booklist
"[A] big-hearted, complex tale of living, learning, and caring. Brashares's novel can be enjoyed by readers who have not yet discovered the previous book. It is certain to delight those readers who have." School Library Journal
"Light and romantic," raved The New York Times of the second novel in the bestselling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series by Ann Brashares, author of The Here and Now.
With a bit of last summer's sand in the pockets, the Traveling Pants and the sisterhood who wears them—Lena, Tibby, Bridget, and Carmen—embark on their second summer together.
"Fits like a favorite pair of pants." —USA Today
"A great summer read." —The Sacramento Bee
"As comfortable as an old pair of jeans." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred

Curriculum Vitae
With the background of an architectural education in Germany (University of Applied Sciences Bremen, School of Arts Berlin-Weissensee - Advanced Architectural Design) and working experiences in Berlin, Mumbai and Auroville, I practise architecture, interior design and construction in Auroville since 2000 – at first as associate architect in the Auroville Building Centre, later as part of the multi-disciplinary team of Brand New Day and since January 2004 in my own office Fabian Ostner Architecture in a setup in Aurelec / Auroville which allows for maximum communication and exchange.
Being in Auroville has been from the first arrival in August 1994 when I came for a one-year practical training until today a special and precious experience. Being familiar with the culture of the subcontinent due to previous travels, I almost at once felt that India and this beautiful place near Pondicherry are my home and the right place to do my work and make my contribution to the vision of Auroville so beautifully expressed in its charter. It is rewarding to live in a place which strives to be a bridge between the past and the future and wants to manifest ultimately an actual Human Unity. Life in Auroville for me means to find a balance between simple, rural life, where your feet touch the beautiful red soil and the electrifying energy of modern life of the city – something I was and will always be attached to.
For the architectural part of my self, it is fascinating to work in a setup where technologies and materials connected with contemporary architecture are very hard to come by (machines are still the exception at least on small scale sites) and contrary to materially more developed countries often extremely expensive because either imported or manufactured almost entirely for the export. In the still widely rural setup of Auroville, one has the challenge and joy of reinventing techniques, improvising and being in charge of the whole project. To bridge traditional building culture (the use of regional materials, techniques and the knowledge about the social and climatic conditions) with a modern approach towards architecture and the use of spaces is definitely a worthy task.
The quality and the context of the site, the cultural background, the client's imagination and needs are important aspects of any architectural project. In my work I aim to understand the essence of these aspects, to give the right answers to arising questions and to fuse them into a contemporary building form - spiced with some funky masala of the architect's choice and taste. I feel free to experiment with all materials available, be it earth, concrete, steel, glass, aluminium and plastic as each one of them has its own qualities and aesthetics. I believe that there are basically no negative or positive materials, it all depends on their usage, the relations to other materials and a balance of the various elements. I love architecture as it is all about understanding the components of life and the communication between so many involved beings.
My vision of an ideal office working in Auroville and of course anywhere in this world - as Auroville and its spirit is not confined to the small beautiful area of 20 km 2 here in Tamil Nadu - would be a setup where individuals of various professions fuse their capacities, dreams and visions to create a highly charged atmosphere driven by the joy of exchange, exploration and manifestation.

January 14, 2014
By James M. Roberts
A little-known provision purported to be in the fiscal year 2014 omnibus spending bill currently being debated in Congress would chip off yet another little piece of American sovereignty—handing it and potentially billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars over to international civil servants at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to bail out economically distressed countries.
Congress should decline to approve the IMF reform package and send it back for further revisions: i.e., a guarantee that the U.S. will retain the unilateral right to appoint its own representative to the Executive Board and the abolition of the supplemental facility so that it cannot be used in the future as an additional source of morally hazardous lending during the next "crisis."
At issue is a 2010 "reform" package—approved by the IMF board with support from the Obama Administration—that increases the voting power of BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and other emerging market nations and doubles the amount of member countries' national "quota" contributions, the primary source of funding for IMF loans.[1] Due to the role of Congress and the veto power that the U.S. has had at the IMF since its creation after World War II, this IMF reform package must be approved by Congress before it can go into effect.[2]
The U.S. has the largest quota of any country in the world and also the largest single-nation voting share (16.75 percent). Major decisions at the IMF—such as increases in quotas—require an 85 percent supermajority approval vote, so the U.S. has been the only country in the world with veto power at the IMF. Since the U.S. is one of the top five shareholding countries at the IMF, it has also had the right to appoint a permanent representative to the Executive Board—and that is where all the power is at the IMF.[3]
Over the years, the U.S. has also committed resources to "supplementary" funds—over and above the quota—at the IMF. These are funds that can be tapped when demand for IMF resources is particularly strong, such as during major financial crises (e.g., the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and the 2008 global crisis and subsequent eurozone crisis). There are two supplementary funds: the New Arrangements to Borrow (NAB) and the General Arrangements to Borrow (GAB). The U.S. currently funds the largest portion of the NAB—about $103 billion, or about 18 percent.[4] This has given the U.S. the power to prevent "activation" of the NAB to block loans that it deems ill-advised.
The Obama Administration supports the IMF reform package. It would double the amount of quota resources, partly by shifting a set and proportionate amount of them from every country participating in the NAB to the quota. The U.S. quota would increase by $63 billion, and that amount would be rolled back from the U.S. NAB commitment. Thus, $63 billion of American taxpayers' money would be shifted over to the regular quota lending system over which the U.S. has less control, since the Executive Board approves quota loans by a simple majority vote.
Another (perhaps even more significant) problem with the reform package is its mandate of an all-elected IMF Executive Board. The U.S. would lose its unilateral right to appoint its own representative to that board. What if other countries decided to block election of the U.S. candidate? The result would be even greater loss of U.S. influence and power at the IMF.
It is clear that the U.S. has benefitted—and will continue to benefit—from the existence of the IMF. U.S. participation in the IMF helps mitigate the impact on the global economy of financial crises in other countries and thus aids American economic stability and the health of overseas markets for U.S. exports. The IMF has also enhanced U.S. national security through the many conditions that are imposed with IMF loans—sweeping demands for reforms that are politically difficult but, if followed, bring economic stability to politically fragile regions.
On the other hand, however, many conservatives have rightly pointed to the IMF as an enabler of moral hazard. They are concerned that American tax dollars are being used for IMF programs that bail out bad decisions by other governments that follow reckless fiscal and monetary policies.
For example, The Wall Street Journal reported in June 2013 that, according to an internal IMF document, the IMF "admitted to major missteps over the past three years in its handling of the bailout of Greece" by bending its "own rules to make Greece's burgeoning debt seem sustainable."[5] The potential of additional IMF bailout resources might reduce incentives for governments to adopt difficult, but prudent, economic policies.[6]
In addition, the IMF is no longer the sole candidate to play the global economic stabilizer role it was assigned seven decades ago. Since 2008, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have shown themselves more than capable of pumping trillions of freshly printed dollars, euros, and yen directly into the global financial system.
Even though these reform proposals have not gone into effect, the IMF has been functioning and serving U.S. interests since it adopted the proposals in late 2010. There is no reason why the IMF cannot continue lending at current levels pending additional revisions to the reform package.
In any case, the pursuit of prudent, free-market, and pro-economic growth policies—those potentially at risk from IMF-funded moral hazard—remains the best prescription for all IMF member countries and requires no IMF resources to follow. These core principles are the foundation of The Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal's annual Index of Economic Freedom.[7]

The Central Florida teenager convicted of posing as a physician's assistant is scheduled to be sentenced on Wednesday.
Earlier this year a jury convicted Matthew Scheidt on four felony charges for working at Osceola Regional Medical Center in August 2011. Scheidt was only 17-years-old at the time.
Scheidt blamed botched paperwork for allowing him to receive a physician's assistant badge at the hospital. He had gone to ORMC to get a badge for his job as a clerk at a doctor's office across the street from the hospital.
He was found guilty of two counts of impersonating a physician assistant and two counts of practicing medicine without a license.
Scheidt faces up to five years in prison for each count, but the judge could sentence him to only serve probation. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for 3:00 p.m.

Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, abstained from voting on the proposed moratorium that would have halted new nursing home development, but behind closed doors he passionately urged his fellow Republicans to kill the measure during private Republican caucus meetings, according to several GOP lawmakers.
- Filed Under
Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma called Thursday for an ethics probe into a top GOP lawmaker's role in killing a measure bad for his family's business.
In a letter, Bosma requested that the House ethics committee determine whether fellow GOP Rep. Eric Turner broke any rules when he helped quash a proposed nursing home moratorium that his son and daughter had lobbied against.
Bosma's request is the first of its kind in years and comes two days after Indiana Democratic Party Chairman John Zody asked Bosma to investigate the matter. ...

Who is Buying Permanent Life Insurance…Really?
In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal titled, Shift to Wealthier Clientele Pus Life Insurers in a Bind, the author states that, in a development all but unnoticed outside the industry, life insurance companies gradually have shifted away from their broad historical base of middle-class households. Instead, statistics show, an increasing portion of insurers' business consists of selling large policies to wealthier Americans, often as part of complex estate plans.
The shift means that a growing proportion of the tax benefits of life insurance goes to the well-off, not to the middle class that once was the industry's backbone.
However, according to LIMRA (Life Insurance and Market Research Association), the article focused primarily on the new premium revealed in LIMRA's quarterly results to gauge the demographics of permanent life insurance sales and didn't equally use policy count data in drawing their conclusions. To back up their position, LIMRA recently issued these facts about the demographics of permanent life insurance ownership based on policy count:
- By policy count, the majority of permanent policies are sold to middle market consumers.
- The affluent (household income of $100,000 or more) own just 27 percent of existing permanent life insurance policies.
- Those earning $25,000 to $99,000 comprise 55 percent of the population, but own 58% of existing permanent policies.
- If you look at new sales by policy count, consumers earning under $100,000 represent 72 percent of newly purchased permanent life insurance policies. So by this measure, it is truly middle America who are buying permanent insurance and benefiting from it.
So, depending how you view the statistics, either the affluent or middle class Americans are buying more permanent life insurance. Clearly, a greater number of policies are being sold to the middle-market. However, in premiums paid for these policies, the affluent consumers, by virtue of their higher benefits, are paying a larger percentage of premiums collected for permanent policies.

CIBOLO CREEK (Duval County). Cibolo Creek rises six miles south of Realitos in southern Duval County (at 27°24' N, 98°32' W) and runs southeast for thirty-five miles, crossing southwestern Jim Wells County, to its mouth on Palo Blanco Creek, one mile southeast of Falfurrias in northeastern Brooks County (at 27°12' N, 98°08' W). Its name means "bison" in Spanish. The surrounding flat to gently rolling terrain with local shallow depressions and escarpments is surfaced by shallow clay to deep sandy loams and loose sand that support scrub brush and grasses.

Family Crest Rings will provide magical medieval memories from your families past and honor your ancestors. We can take care of every detail, to bring your "Family Coat of Arms" to life by engraving it on a Silver or Gold Ring. The two metals that are used in the making of family crest rings and heraldic jewelry are silver and gold and this can be yellow or white gold.
Sterling silver has always been a selected option for family members to give as a gift for birthdays, wedding presents and all special occasions. It is indicated that silver originated in central Europe around the 12th century and especially the area now known as Germany.
One of the clues that this might be correct, lies with the findings that a lot of Medieval Jewelry was made with silver as it was a lustrous and not so expensive metal as some of the other more precious metals of the time. Today when it comes to precious metals you can have the option of choosing Gold or Silver.
Combine the element of family roots and family origins and the element of an investment in the form of family crest rings, this should leave you in no doubt about acquiring one of the treasured family heirlooms.
Family Crest Rings are Popular Gifts
The Family Crest Rings have become very popular as wedding rings or indeed wedding gifts and are very well received by all customers. It will also create the perfect historic heirloom for future generations and keep family traditions alive over the coming centuries. People from all walks of life are trying to get to know more and more about their family roots, and what their ancestors did in bygone days. We are actually a product of our past and what our relatives did all those years ago has a great bearing on what we are doing today, and indeed where we are living.
One of the most important part of the crest ring is the face, this where the shield which is taken from the Coat of Arms is engraved along with the particular markings that are on the original shield. The family crest rings shield in Medieval Times was fitted with a straps inside, small ones for the arm and hand and another larger one which allowed it to hang around the neck ( this was called the guige).
Animals, birds, castles, arms and landscapes made up some of the markings on the shields and gave a fair indication what the family did for a living. The name of the family today is engraved under the shield on a ribbon and above the shield can be seen the family crest.
Rings are available for the following;
Irish Names, English Names, Scottish Names, German Names, Spanish Names, Polish Names, French Names, Italian Names , Polish Names and all American Names of European Origin,
Our company will also engrave any design that you wish on the face of the ring, like military logos and unit patches, corporate logos and sports logos. These Rings Are Worn With Pride And Honor and Family Crest Rings are a unique and novel way to display something that rightfully belongs to your family and you should be very proud of it. If you could at this moment in time have a conversation with your earliest ancestor I'm sure it would be pure magic and a wonderful experience but the chances of that happening are very slim.
What is possible right now is the opportunity to wear on your ring finger, a ring from the family crest rings range designed and engraved with the earliest Coat Of Arms that can be found for your family. This will honor your ancestors existence and commemorate the achievements of your family lineage and family roots. The perfect family heirloom can be created using your family crest rings and having your Coat of Arms and name engraved on the face. Great Savings Today for Quality Rings!

Next Friday night, February 20th at Toyota Stadium we have a friendly against DC United in the penultimate preseason tuneup for FC Dallas before the season starts on March 7th.
Now for our regular season MLS games, there are regulations in place for just about everything you can think of from sponsors to game presentation to the way the field is mowed....but those don't count for preseason friendlies so we thought we'd have a fun vote to determine which field pattern we will have for the beautiful Toyota Stadium pitch next Friday night.
Below are the four options we can have for Friday night's game. Allen Reed and his groundscrew team need a few days to fully mow in the pattern, so get your vote in before Monday then come out to Toyota Stadium and come back next Friday to see which option won!
Tickets are still available for next Friday's friendly which is complementary for season ticket holders, $10 for general admission & $25 for reserved seating.
Option 1 - Bullseye
Option 2 - Traditional
Option 3 - Checkerboard
Option 4 - Plaid
The players have returned for preseason and the 20th season of FC Dallas soccer is starting to come into focus.
Today, we've released single-game tickets for seven of the biggest games of the season, our 2015 premier matches. Throughout this week we're going to be highlighting each one on FCDallas.com as we celebrate "Marquee Matchups," taking a look towards the 2015 season. Stay tuned each day this week as we highlight one of the seven biggest games coming to Toyota Stadium in 2015.
Marquee Matchups Game One - March 7 vs. San Jose Earthquakes
No matter what sport you're watching, there's nothing like opening day.
Every team is 0-0-0 with championship aspirations and whether you're looking to improve on last season and show that you mean business or simply looking to prove that the previous season was no fluke, the first game of the year is always one you don't want to miss as a fan. There's just something special about that first time you walk through the stadium gates for a new season, getting your first glimpse at the new players while also seeing those familiar faces back on the field for another year.
There's all the new signage around the stadium, the new banners outside(which will be awesome) and that first look at the new pump up videos. On March 7 at 7:30PM, it all gets started again, and let's face it: You're not missing this one.
For FC Dallas, the 2015 season marks the eighth-straight year that FCD will open the season at Toyota Stadium with the team going 3-1-3 in that stretch, having won their last three home openers.
Who can forget last year's season opener in which Oscar Pareja returned to the place he calls home to see Mauro Diaz produce his first of many master-class performances, scoring a brilliant game-winning free kick early in the second half to seal a 3-2 win over Montreal. It would be the first stanza of Mauro's brilliant March that saw him win Etihad Player of the Month while propelling Dallas to a 4-0-1 start to the season.
It's opening night. It gives me chills every time. It's going to be a huge crowd coming off last year's playoff drama. You don't want to miss this one.
Twitter is so great. Yesterday, #FiveWordsToRuinADate was trending throughout the day so we had some fun with it and asked our loyal #DTID followers to give us their best #FiveWordsToRuinADate FC Dallas style...here were some of the best responses:
The USMNT is returning to Toyota Stadium for the first time since March 28, 2007 in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup curtain-raiser and it's both a long overdue return and a well-deserved reward for the Dallas sports fans who have taken soccer support to another level in the last year.
You sold out Toyota Stadium for the largest American crowd to watch the USWNT in 2014, packed downtown Dallas three times for USMNT 2014 World Cup watch parties, set all-time attendance records at Toyota Stadium for FC Dallas games and brought the support for FCD to a new level during our MLS Cup Playoff run and now you have a red, white and blue matchup to look forward to this summer.
While the USMNT has played twice at Toyota Stadium, it is fair to say neither match was the marquee game we will see at Toyota Stadium on July 7th as the national team begins their 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup quest which Jurgen Klinsmann has called "the number one priority for the senior National Team in 2015."
Let's take a look at the two other times the USMNT has played at Toyota Stadium:
February 19, 2006 - USMNT 4, Guatemala 0
The first-ever visit of the national team to a brand new Toyota Stadium(then Pizza Hut Park) was played in absolutely frigid winter conditions as anyone who was at the USWNT game against New Zealand can relate to. It was even colder than that.
A USMNT squad beginning their 2006 World Cup preparation featured a mix of both young and old with Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan making his debut while stalwarts like Brian Ching, Frankie Hejduk and Ben Olsen also suited up for Bruce Arena's team.
A surprisingly robust crowd saw Ben Olsen open the scoring with a beautiful volley with Brian Ching, Eddie Johnson and Chris Klein rounding out the scoring.
(If you can name that full starting XI, you're a true US Soccer old schooler).
March 28, 2007 - USMNT 0, Guatemala 0
Just a year later, Guatemala returned to Toyota Stadium for another friendly against the USMNT, though this one was played on a Wednesday night with what can only be described as a weakened USMNT squad beginning to prepare for the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
The weekend matchup saw fan favorite Kenny Cooper and others like Frank Simek and Justin Mapp make some of their only USMNT appearances in the goalless draw.
Mark your calendars! The date has been set for Cocktails and Cleats 2015 presented by Chase and the annual season kickoff event is returning to F.I.G. in downtown Dallas.
Details about the event will be announced in the coming months, but if last year is any indication (video below) it's sure to be a good time!

Those kitchen encounters with my mom weren't only about recipes, though, or learning to knead dough. Here, a finished dish of kolacky.
Ask TV chefs and cookbook authors what culinary skills they learned from their mother and, well, you get everything from Ming Tsai's technique for shaping egg rolls involving a baseball diamond to Pat Neely's rule for keeping a sink of hot soapy water ready to wash a few things as you cook.
"Things that my grandmother taught my mother, I watched my grandmother do over and over. Then I saw my mother do them," Pat Neely says. "So consequently, I ended up doing them. And it was always clean as you go, keep a clean kitchen, never put your knives in the sink. I do them to this day."

Mattias Ekström reflects on a good/bad fourth place at the Red Bull Ring.
It's a few days after the DTM race at the Red Bull Ring and I've still got mixed feelings about the event. Going to Austria I had high hopes that we would be good. Audi had made some progress and that was apparent right from the start of practice on Friday when the car felt much better than it had in the previous races. By Saturday morning and qualifying I felt really, really comfortable. Q1, Q2, Q3 were all alright but I made a little mistake in Q4 and that proved costly. I ended up third on the grid.
The performance to be on pole was there, no discussion about that – it was up to me and I didn't get the job done. And yes, that's a little frustrating.
Still, on Sunday we put that behind us and I got an absolutely awesome start and was right up with Gary Paffett into Turn One, trying to find a way past. He blocked and then was ultra-conservative, braking very, very early. That's fair enough but it left me a sitting duck behind him. Edoardo Mortara and Martin Tomczyk went wide and sailed by on the outside.
I took some risks after that, trying to get back track position but it didn't work out and at the end of the first lap I was P4 and that's how it stayed. None of those guys were making big errors and eventually I had some brake problems, having followed so closely behind Tomczyk. It's a disappointing result given the good level of performance we had.
'The positive aspect is that we have the pace and were fighting for pole'
And that's the thing isn't it? At Brands Hatch I finished fifth and thought that was really good; at the Red Bull Ring I was unhappy with fourth because the car was better. But if you look at it the other way, the positive aspect of the weekend is that we have the pace and were fighting for pole and fighting to win. It's a great feeling to know that you have a car underneath you that can do that. We're going to a test now and hopefully we'll be able to squeeze out even more and take that to the next race at the Norisring in a couple of weeks' time.
I've been asked whether it's better or worse when the guy who wins is driving another Audi. It honestly doesn't bother me either way. At the beginning of my career in DTM I would have paid some attention to my team-mates but you get past that. After becoming champion for the first time I got to the point where it was more important to beat everyone, whether that's Gary Paffett and Bruno Spengler or Timo Scheider and Edoardo Mortara. It doesn't matter what car they're driving, you have to beat them all.
The big picture of course is that it's much, much better that Audi win. It's good that we have a competitive car and I'll benefit from the data gathered on Mortara's car – there's always something to learn when you have quick team-mates.
Congratulations to Edo, by the way. It's a great feeling to win your first race in DTM. It will stay with him for the rest of his life, as I know mine will. Of course after the first one it just makes you hungry to win the next one, and the next one, and the next…

CSIRO together with Australasia's major aviation players is leading a world-first study to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from air transport by helping to develop a sustainable aviation fuels industry. Called the Sustainable Aviation Fuels Road Map, the study aims to accelerate the development and commercialisation of a sustainable aviation fuels industry in Australia and New Zealand.
The project has developed in collaboration with the Australasian section of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group (SAFUG) including Air New Zealand, Boeing, Qantas and Virgin Blue together with the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO). A full list of road map participants is available below.
Aviation accounts for 2 per cent of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. Cleaner jet fuels derived from plant matter (known as bio-oil) offer the largest single opportunity to reduce emissions while ensuring long-term fuel security for the sector.
The road map will examine the barriers, opportunities and implications of producing bio-derived jet fuels at scale, including: commercial viability; environmental sustainability; and alternative biomass feedstocks (such as algae and more traditional forest and agricultural products) for producing aviation biofuels in the Australasian climate and region. Aviation is fundamental to the Australian economy and way of life. The tourism industry alone creates jobs for half a million Australians and contributes billions of dollars to our economy.
CSIRO Energy Transformed Flagship's chief economist and road map project leader Mr Paul Graham said:
"The issue is whether we can produce a cost-effective bio-derived jet fuel alternative to fossil fuels that doesn't have any detrimental impacts on the environment or social make-up of regional Australia," Mr Graham said.
"Over the coming months we're expecting some healthy debate among participants that will result in the devel

Previous page: Five Apologetics Methods
This is a collection of hand-picked articles about the branch of theology known as Christian Apologetics.
In the final analysis, postmodern people don't typically ask the questions that most Christian apologetics Web sites seek to answer. They don't care about the historicity of the New Testament, "proofs" for the existence of God, young earth/old earth issues, eschatology, and so forth. This being the case, one has to ask whether Christian apologetics sites that spend a lot of time on these issues are being as helpful as they can to postmodern people—or to the Christians who wish to reach them with the gospel.
More than anything else, Christians need to show spiritual seekers on the Web that Christianity is not a stale theological exercise, but a daily relationship with God involving mind, emotion, and mystery.
In a famous address on Christian apologetics, C. S. Lewis said that our presentation of the Christian message "must be timeless at its heart and wear a modern dress." He added that Christians "must translate every bit of your theology into the vernacular." That means we must translate the Christian message into a language postmodern people can understand.
By studying the objections of unbelievers and preparing to reason with them, we take the high road of apologetics, the road of obedience to the direction of our Lord and Savior. His categorical claim was "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). The apologist responds to the objections of unbelievers in a way which sets forth the objective truth of Christianity and the exclusive character of the system. He or she offers reasons for belief, vindicating the Christian worldview over against competing systems of thought and living.
Not all believers (or professing Christians) have chosen to take that high road. It has often happened that those speaking for the Christian faith settle for much less (especially but not exclusively in the current century). They have settled for much less than apologetics by reducing Christian commitment to subjectivism. It is certainly true that Christianity brings us a sense of personal peace and confidence before God, and this inner experience of the faith being right and our own coming to be right with God (cf. the witness of the Spirit, Rom. 8:16) cannot adequately be communicated in words. However appeals to this inner feeling do not constitute an argument which should persuade others of the truth of Christianity.
For many Christians, apologetics feels a lot like math: it's hard to understand, in an area not connected to their personality and temperament, and bringing it up with friends would be both terrifying and absurd.
Yet just as I can't escape using basic math on a daily basis (no matter how poorly), Christians who take their faith seriously will not be able to escape using basic apologetics.

Asthma is a worldwide major public health problem, which currently affects 15 million people in the United States and the incidence is increasing. Although corticosteroids are widely used for asthma treatment, their side effects are a significant concern, particularly for children. A recent NIH Inner-city Asthma Study found that continuous daily treatment with inhaled corticosteroids had no long-term therapeutic benefit in terms of lung function, and new asthma medications, including leukotriene inhibitors and anti-IgE, have shown only marginal benefits. The need for safe and effective treatments of this disease is urgent.

Re: The Official Welcome Thread
Hello, BBS.
Ah, finally a forum I've found that moves at a quick speed that I can stand (and is also supportive of the new film). I've been posting over at the troll-infested IMDb page for a few weeks.
Anyway... I never had any interest in watching Star Trek prior to this film, which I was turned onto because it looked interesting and people were talking about it very positively (raving about it, in fact) on the various Whedonite BtVS/AtS forums that I belong to.
First off, I'm an Star Wars OT fan (Han/Leia, in particular). The technobabble aspects that Star Trek had become [in]famous for (especially with TNG) were not appealing to me (I'm a fantasy/supernatural genre fan). I had seen the last half of First Contact at a friend's house, however, and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I watched the new film (and became a Zachary Quinto/Heroes fan in the process) and started watching TOS.
As far as TOS goes, I'm a known TVLand retro television junkie (I've seen insane amounts of I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, I Love Lucy, The Addams Family, The Munsters, Happy Days, The Wonder Years, Family Ties, Mork & Mindy, The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, etc...), so TOS appeals to me on that retro kitsch level. TOS is very comparable to those kinds of shows for me. Though, I must admit that Shatner was always one of the turn-offs of Star Trek for me. I enjoy Spock and McCoy at least (same favorites with the movie, in fact).
So, with that said, I hope I will be welcome!

It's hardly a shocker to hear a show's creator and producer say that he thinks the show will get another season -- indeed the reverse would be much more shocking. Can you imagine him saying, "After what we put out in the first half of season one, who could really blame Syfy for not wanting more?"
No? Me either.
"I believe it's coming back," Ronald D. Moore told the Comic-con audience. "I firmly believe that we're going to get a second season." According to reports, he also said Caprica "hits its stride" in the second half of season 1 which will air in January.
