Team Evanston Girls U11 White participated in The Chicago Fire Soccer Club's tournament on President's Day. They played three tough teams and then won their playoff game to advance to the tournament championship. The championship game was played on April 24 at Toyota Park, where Team Evanston played on the field immediately before the Chicago Fire game. After holding firm for a 0-0 tie, TE fell to the opposing team in a tie-breaking shootout. The team had a great time and stayed to watch the Chicago Fire game together.

The ETHS girls varsity soccer team hosted Loyola Academy on Monday March 30th and upheld their record of having not been defeated nor scored upon at home since May 17, 2013 (686 days and counting). A squad of U9-U14 Team Evanston girls volunteered to be ballgirls. Here is a picture of the school saluting them at halftime:
Team Evanston would like to congratulate the following players for making it on their school's Varsity Soccer team. Way to go girls!
Join us for a Red Stars game on May 2nd. Complete details in the flyer below.
Thank you to all parents and players who attended the USWNT watch party on Sunday, February 2nd. We had over 50 attendees and although the US lost to a good France team, plenty of us enjoyed the pizza, root beer, and hanging out. Be sure to follow the USWNT as they prepare for the 2015 World Cup - the remainder of their game schedule can be found here. Finally, a big thank you to Temperance Beer and Chicago Soccer for helping make this event happen.
ESPN/Disney in Orlando Florida hosts a tournament over New Years for elite clubs across the United States, called the Disney Soccer Showcase. Teams must be invited to participate, and each year it attracts hundreds of university soccer coaches to scout players.
This year, Team Evanston sent three teams to the Showcase: the U17 Premier girls team, the U17 Premier boys team, and the U18 Premier boys team. All three played against some of the top competition in the nation.
The U17 girls team won one and lost two, playing teams from Pennsylvania, New York, and Tennessee. Over 40 university scouts were on hand to see the girls play. The U17 boys team played in the Championship level and also went 1-2, competing against top-100 nationally-ranked teams from Georgia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. The U18 boys team tied all three games; in their last game, they were up 1-0 against the #16 ranked team in the country before giving up the tying goal in extra time.
Congratulations to all three teams for earning a chance to play in the tournament.
Through the past Fall 2014 outdoor game season, Team Evanston's teams all competed with determination, many times against top-quality opponents. While often not reflected in their overall won-loss record, teams and players showed improvement, with many teams having notable achievements worth celebrating. Among the highlights:
To all Team Evanston teams, the club applauds your commitment. The ultimate value of soccer is not your won-loss record, but what you learn while striving to improve, and that showed on the pitch this Fall. We can't wait to see your work pay off during the upcoming Winter and Spring seasons. Keep up the good work!
Team Evanston is proud to welcome Maurizio Grillo, long time soccer coach and head of the ETHS women's soccer program, to the new role of Director of Coaching for Girls U12-U18 teams. This will bolster the leadership and development of this group and better support the needs of each team and player in every age group in both the boys' and girls' program. This leadership expansion allows Coach Issac to focus on continuing his current club-wide efforts and further enhancing the already-successful boys' program. The move follows an emerging "best practice" among elite soccer clubs in the area to have a director of coaching focused on middle school and high school girls' teams. Maurizio will be partnering with Jay Bulev, Girls Program Coordinator, to further enhance the support and training for each of our players. Team Evanston's Board of Directors, Coach Grillo, and Coach Moushi all look forward to collaborating in support of this new structure.
Coach Grillo was born and raised in Livorno, Italy where he began playing soccer at a very young age. His experience in soccer and business spans multiple continents and roles, as a successful player, coach, and entrepreneur. He has coached in multiple high school and club settings in Illinois and Michigan and brings a deep commitment to each of his teams and programs. Coach Grillo has a passion for soccer that drives him and his players to the highest level of success, and he is known for being a highly accessible and supportive coach to players and their families. The move is part of Team Evanston's effort to build an environment supporting the continued development and success of each of our young athletes.
Three Team Evanston girls teams journeyed to St. Louis on Halloween to participate in the St. Louis Scott Gallagher tournament, which brings together some of the top talent in the Midwest.
The Girls U11 Orange team finished as first runner-up in a division containing 14 teams. It was their first out-of-town tournament. Trailing 2-4 in their first game, the girls fought back to score two more and tie the game 4-4. They won their next two games to advance to the semi-finals. There, they battled to a 1-1 tie through regulation and overtime, and clinched the game with a PK. They then lost in the final. Coach Issac is very proud of the girls' performance, including their endurance, playing five games in 2 days.
The U14 Premier team went 2-0-1, but did not advance due to the tie breaker. The U13 Premier team finished 0-2-1 with a come-from-behind indirect kick to tie their last game. Way to go, girls!
Team Evanston hosted the first of a series of Parent Information Nights at the Levy Center on Wednesday, October 29th. Issac began by outlining some recent club successes, then laid outthe club's approach to training structure and curriculum, by age group:
Issac also discussed the club's approach to tournaments. It registers all teams in the same Labor Day and Memorial Day tournament to make it easier on families who have more than one child playing Team Evanston and on coaches, who often coach multiple teams. The club encourages all teams to participate in additional tournaments as well, to gain game experience and to tighten team cohesion and bonding.
Dr. Eric Chehab and Cory Leman, both of the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, were on hand to discuss ACL injury risks and prevention. ACL injuries require a lengthy and painful rehab and can impair sports participation for the rest of a young athlete's life, so Team Evanston is committed to doing whatever it can to prevent their occurrence. The injury typically occurs when players pivot and generally do not involve contact with other players, and girls are much more susceptible. Prevention includes both conditioning to strengthen the muscles around the knee and training on foot planting, balance, leg flex, and avoiding high-risk situations. Team Evanston coaches have been taught how to conduct this conditioning, and the Club is conferring with experts on additional steps it can take to prevent ACL injuries. Thank you Eric and Cory for taking the time to teach us.
The next parent information meeting will cover concussions.
The Boys U13 Premier team won their division at the Indy Premier Halloween Classic tournament over the weekend of October 25-26, going unbeaten against elite teams from around the Midwest. They played their first game against Team Chicago Rangers in very breezy conditions, taking an early lead that was matched in the second half for a 1-1 tie. They won their second game in a very physical match-up, falling behind 2-1 before a penalty kick and a shot off the crossbar late in the second half gave them a 3-2 victory. After winning their third game on a forfeit by the Indiana Fire Juniors for having players from another roster (the reason our Club is so vigilant about rosters), the boys went into the championship game against Lexington Red from Kentucky. Strong defensive play from Team Evanston kept Kentucky scoreless and they brought home the hardware with a 2-0 victory. Well played, gentlemen!
Boys U13 Premier - Champions!
Team Evanston congratulates the ETHS Freshman A Boys Soccer team, who won the Central Suburban League's South Division outright with an overall record of 15 wins, 3 losses, 4 ties. 17 of the 20 boys on the roster are current or former Team Evanston players. The team was coached by Harold Bailey. Congratulations on a wonderful freshman campaign, boys!

U12 Girls Orange team wins title in overtime on last-minute goal!
October 12, 2014 - Libertyville, IL
Team Evanston's Ryann Lucas, knocked out of the game earlier, knocked in the tournament-winning goal with a minute remaining in the second overtime period after a free kick by Sophia Weglarz proved too hot to handle. Ruby Rogers also scored from near midfield to close out the first half in the girls' 2-1 victory in the Libertyville Octoberfest GU12 championship game.
Over 30 Team Evanston teams competed in the Octoberfest Classic Tournament in Libertyville, IL this past weekend. All of the teams fought hard and played well, and the Girls U12 Orange, Boys U09 Blue, and Boys U11 Blue teams were crowned tournament champions; with the BU09 Blue team winning every one of their games. Team Evanston also had six other teams fall in their semi-final matches, four by a single goal each.
The Girls U12 Orange advanced to the final after two wins and a tie in group play, during which the team scored four goals and gave up just one. The championship was a highly competitive and physical match that saw four TE players helped off the field with injuries. The game went to overtime after regulation ended 1-1. Late in the second period of overtime, a direct kick taken by Team Evanston led to a rebound that was skillfully finished for a 2-1 victory.
The Boys U09 Blue won three group games and then the final through brave goalkeeping, solid defending, and team wide scoring. The championship game was very close with the boys coming from behind to win 4-3.
The Boys U11 Blue team won two games and tied one in group play to earn a place in the championship game against an old foe, CL Force U11 Premier. Playing from their hearts, the boys came out blazing and scored a goal in the first five seconds of the match, then added two additional goals to secure a 3-0 victory.
U12 Girls Orange - Champions
U09 Boys Blue - Undefeated Weekend!
U11 Boys Blue - Champions

Over Labor Day weekend a dozen Team Evanston teams aquitted themselves well against many top teams from the area and some from out of state in the annual Palatine Celtic Cup soccer tournament. Congratulations to the U12 Orange and U13 Orange girls teams on their runner-up finishes and to the U9 Orange boys who won all of their games. The U17 Girls Premier and U10 Boys Orange teams had strong showings, but fell in the semi-final round.
The U12 Orange girls' historically stingy defense once again rose to the challenge in the Green Division, allowing the team to win their bracket with a 2-0-1 record. Playing a much higher-ranked team in the finals, the girls lost a tough game 2-0 but showed that they have made big strides following a 6-1 loss to the same team in the Spring.
The U13 Premier girls team took second place in the Celtic Cup White division, losing 3-0 to AC Milan from Detroit, a highly-skilled team that scored a total of 19 goals in the tournament. The U13 team went 3-0 in bracket play, and won the semi-finals 1-0 versus FC Lake County.
The U17 Premier Girls team made it to the semi-finals in one of the most prestigious girls showcase tournaments in the Chicago area. Among 12 teams playing in the Green (top) division, 8 were ranked among the top 15 in Illinois. The girls made it to the semi–final match before being knocked out of the tournament..
The U09 Orange boys team went undefeated in winning their division in the tournament. High powered offense was on display as the boys defeated Lincolnshire Lightning (IL) 5-1, Chicago Kicks United (IL) 6-2, and Glenview Select (IL) 10-1 en route to first place. Coach Branko Savic said simply, "Well done boys!!!"
The U10 Boys Orange team reached the semi-finals before losing to eventual tournament champion AC Milan Detroit Juniors 5-3. The Evanston team forced the semi-final game into overtime by tying the match 2-2 in the final minutes of regulation. Team Evanston scored 18 goals in bracket play, the most in the U10 division.

Evanston Township High School is hosting a Youth Soccer Night this coming Tuesday, October 14th. The ETHS Boys Varsity Soccer team, currently ranked #8 in state and seeded #1 in the upcoming IHSA Niles North Sectional, is playing its final regular season home game on Tuesday and would like to recognize the youth soccer programs in Evanston. It should be a great evening of soccer and a fun evening for the players and families within our club.
Below are the key details:
Team Evanston families started off the season with some fun under a beautiful blue sky night watching Team Issac and Team Mauricio squaring up in the annual coaches game/ice cream social. The sidelines were packed with players of all ages enjoying ice cream while the coaches played a high scoring and exciting game. Team Issac took control of the game early by putting a well-driven ball into the corner of the net, after which jubilant fans rushed out onto the field to mob the coaches, something they did after every goal. Inspired by that, Team Issac netted two more before Team Mauricio woke up and began to challenge, determined to put itself into position to score. Though Team Mauricio's skillful passing gave it multiple shots inside the box, Terence on Team Issac was able to stop everything that came his way, making diving saves and a couple tips over the net. Refusing to relent, Mauricio's team at last found the back of the net to make the game 4-1. Both teams then turned up the heat, with Team Issac scoring two more and Team Mauricio scoring three to bring the game to 6-4. In the closing minutes, Maddie on Team Issac had a wonderful volley in front of the goal that ended the game with Team Mauricio being defeated by a final score of 7-4. This is the third year in a row that Team Issac has taken home the coaches' game championship.
We would like to thank all the players and parents who attend the game last night and cheered on the coaches during their match. We are extremely excited to begin the Fall 2014 season.
The Team Evanston U14 Premier Boys team won the US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup in Greenville, SC on July 13th, beating Montgomery Arsenal (PA) in tie-breaking penalty kicks (PKs) to win the prestigious national tournament title. They advanced to the national stage by winning the US Youth Soccer Region II Presidents Cup on June 14th, going 3-0 against a Fort Wayne, IN team, 3-0 against a team from Louisville, KY, and 7-0 against one from Port Washington, WI. This took them to the finals, where they beat a team from Columbus, OH 2-0. During the Regional tournament, Team Evanston outscored its opponents 15-0 in their four games, with teammates Rudy Bieglmeier and Jonathan Meneses each scoring 4 goals and goalkeeper Simon Jillson and his defenders registering 4 straight shutouts.
The U14s then ventured to Greenville, SC, to play against the winners of the other three regions. They tied Montgomery Arsenal, from suburban Philadelphia, 0-0 in their first game: Team Evanston had several chances, but Arsenal's goalkeeper, voted top goalkeeper in the U14 division, turned each opportunity away. In their second game, Team Evanston went down 0-3 to a team from Laredo, TX, but made some tactical changes and started a comeback in the 47th minute, when Jonathan Chavez scored off a corner kick, followed by Deniz Gundogdu stealing the ball from Laredo Heat's goalkeeper and drilling it into the open net. The game-tying goal was delivered by Jonathan Meneses with less than 10 minutes to play. Team Evanston continued the pressure and had great chances to pull out the victory, but ultimately were turned away and the game resulted in a 3-3 tie. Team Evanston then beat a team from Oxnard California 1-0 to advance to the championship game, where they again played Arsenal. They remained tied through regular time and two 10-minute extra time periods, and amid intensifying heat, moved to penalty kicks (PKs) to decide the game winner and ultimately the national champion. Team Evanston's goalkeeper Simon Jillson, with his 6-foot 2-inch frame, intimidated the Arsenal players into forcing two misses (one wide and the other over the crossbar) and then stopped the fourth shooter. All three of Team Evanston's shooters, Nathan Pollack, Deniz Gundogdu, and Jonathan Meneses buried their shots to secure the victory, with Johnathan Meneses ultimately being voted MVP of the tournament by the opposing three teams' coaches. "As a coach, I don't like it when the game is decided by PKs," said Issac Moushi, coach of the U14 squad, "but I had confidence in all of my players. The players went wild when Simon stopped their fourth shooter to secure the win."
"It's a great feeling to be national champions," said Moushi. "The players didn't know what to expect when they got here, but once the games began, they blocked the competition and played the game the way they were trained." While the run to the championship title unveiled individual talent, Moushi claimed it was an all-team effort. "I thought the entire defending line played very well," he said, "and Mateo Blair and Issac Diop were key players at controlling the midfield. Jonathan Meneses created many chances up front, including scoring the only goal in our third game to advance us into the championship game on Sunday."
Team Evanston's Boys U14 Premier team consists of: Rudy Bieglmeier, Mateo Blair, Jonathan Chavez, Isaac Diop, Noah Dolan, Deniz Gundogdu, Simon Jillson, Niko Kapetan, Jonathan Meneses, Luis Molina, Nathan Pollack, Zach Rogers, Reed Schaefer, Colin Thompson, and Aidan Tobin. Way to go!
As we head into the 2014-2015 season, all current Team Evanston players will be required to purchase the Returning Player Uniform Package (two jerseys, pair of shorts, pair of socks), as the current Adidas uniform kit that Team Evanston has used for the past three years is no longer being manufactured. The new uniform will have separate tailoring for girls and boys. Team Evanston has used this as an opportunity to modernize its logo, marrying the ball and banner of our previous logo with the now-standard soccer shield/crest.
If you have last season's warm-up suit (jacket and pants), Chicago Soccer will replace the old logo with the new one. If you do not have a warm-up suit from last year, you'll need to purchase one for the 2014-2015 season. Purchases can be made in-person at any Chicago Soccer store or by clicking here.
Team Evanston's indoor facility at 2025 Dempster passed inspection last week, and already the Club has had advantage applied: foul weather barred use of outdoor fields last week, so Team Evanston was able to continue play by bringing practice inside. The 30,000 square foot facility features five turf fields as well as office and meeting space for Issac, the coaches, and Club Administrators. Team Evanston will use the facility for practice during the winter months and whenever inclement weather prevents the kids from practicing outdoors. It will also be used for clinics and other specialized training.
Team Evanston will be hosting its annual fundraiser at the facility on Saturday, May 10th.
Construction has begun on Team Evanston's Indoor facility at 2025 Dempster Street, and workers are in full swing transforming it into a state-of-the-art soccer facility. Stay tuned for progress!
Team Evanston would like to thank all the families and players who came out to watch and support the coaches as they competed on Wednesday at James Park. After a slight Ice Cream delay the two teams kicked off an exciting game full of technique, poise and skills. After the kick off the orange team got a quick goal by Branko to put them ahead 1-0. The victory was short lived however as Issac and his team counteracted that goal scoring two to take the lead. The game quickly turned into a game of finesse while shooting on net as both teams were placing their opportunities just out of the reach of both keepers. As the sun was setting at James Park and the ice cream was all but devoured the game began to favor the blue team as they got a ball down the right wing and it was crossed to the back post for Maruicio to put the finishing touch on it and placed the ball into the corner of the net and the blue team celebrated their victory. Issac and his team hold as the raining champs for another year defeating the orange team 6-5. We would like to thank everyone again for their support and we are looking forward to another great fall season.
We are proud to announce that our club will now have Spirit Wear for parents, family members and Team Evanston supporters. Spirit Wear will allow for you to support your son/daughter on the sidelines in Team Evanston attire. Please check out our web page to see all the options, colors and different designs that are available for purchase.
Team Evanston was honored to have former US Women's National Team player Brandi Chastain come to town and host her soccer academy with our club last week at ETHS. The girls spent the week playing in small groups and one-on-one with Brandi and her coaching staff, working to improve their individual skills. As the week progressed, the players' passion for the game was enhanced by Brandi's knowledge and overall enjoyment in teaching the young players the nuances of the game. Team Evanston will continue to provide these opportunities for our players, to help them advance their skills and increase their passion for the sport. On behalf of the players, I would like to thank you Brandi for all the hard work and the fun environment you created for all of us.
Issac Moushi
Team Evanston Director of Coaching
Team Evanston is proud to announce the addition of Maurizio Grillo, ETHS Girls Varsity Coach, to our coaching staff. Born in Italy, Grillo brings a lot of experience to our outstanding coaching lineup. "Bringing Maurizio to our club is just another step towards strengthening our club's relationship with Evanston Township High School. Our players and community will greatly benefit from this and we are absolutely thrilled to have Maurizio on board." said Issac Moushi, TE Director of Coaching.

TAMPA, Fla. – The Major Indoor Soccer League announced today that Chicago Soul goalkeeper Jeff Richey has been named the league's Player of the Week for the 10th week of the 2012-13 season. Richey set a MISL record with 45 saves on Friday night, recording the first shutout in the league since 2011 as the Soul defeated the Syracuse Silver Knights 11-0 at the Sears Centre Arena.
Richey broke the previous record in the league's current era, held by Jamie Lieberman of the Norfolk SharX with 38 last season against Syracuse, as he kept the Soul in the game for much of the contest. Chicago held a 4-0 lead at the halftime break, with Richey having recorded 22 saves in the opening 30 minutes.
"On behalf of Team Evanston, I'd like to thank the Team Evanston community (players, families, coaches) for attending and supporting the club's third annual 'Team Evanston Night @ Northwestern' on Friday, September 14. In addition to being a beautiful night along the lakefront, it was great to see the massive turnout that Team Evanston had in supporting this great event and Northwestern's soccer program."
Matt Tobin
Club President
On September 5th, Team Evanston held its annual ice cream social and coach's game. With the kids surrounding the field the coaches broke up into two evenly matched teams and began play. The game started off with a bang when the gray team took the ball down the field and took a great shot on goal, but the club's goalkeeper coach Jeff Richey made an outstanding save worthy of a Sportscenter highlight. The gray team continued dominating the game and soon took a 1-0 lead. However, the lead did not last long because the black team began pressuring and got a quick turnaround goal. Every goal that was scored was followed by a team/player wide celebration with a dog pile on the goal scoring coach. The game stayed back and forth until the last 30 minutes when the gray team started pulling away due to their supreme fitness conditioning and tactical organization. While the black team was trying to reorganize and find that much needed spark up front, the gray team stayed focused and passed the ball around in a way which would have made Pep Guardiola jealous. In the end, the gray team took home a 5-3 win over the black team. When reached for comment after the game, an unnamed member of the black team simply said, "It's all Dule's and Francisco's fault. I don't know why they put them on our team."
Thanks to all parents and players who came to watch the game. We are all looking forward to an exciting season!
Team Evanston Director of Coaching Issac Moushi with Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Team Evanston coaching staff took part in a clinic focused on preparing them for the 2012-2013 soccer season. The staff was led by Team Evanston Director of Coaching Issac Moushi as the group went through season planning, a CPR certification course and technical and tactical field sessions. Check out some of the pictures below!
On Sunday, May 20, 2012, Team Evanston Soccer Club took home its first state championship when its U16 Premier Boys squad defeated FCX South 3-0 in the finals of the Illinois Youth Soccer Association State Cup. Click the link for the full game report and more pictures.
Members of the U14 Boys Premier team gathered to put together 50 sack lunches for a local soup kitchen. Those participating provided the needed parts of the lunches, and together the boys made sandwiches and bagged up lunches for the Beth Emet Soup kitchen, which serves over 100 people in need each Wednesday evening and sends them off with a sack lunch for the next day. It was a very rewarding experience for the boys!
Over the holiday school break, Team Evanston partnered with the Fleetwood Jourdain Center to run a free 4 day Introduction to Soccer clinic. Director of Coaching Issac Moushi and several of his coaches acted as Camp Directors and led about dozen Team Evanston players (U14 Girls & High School Girls and Boys) who volunteered their time to be coaches. Not only was this a great community service project for our players and coaches, but the 35-45 children who attended the clinic each day really enjoyed learning about soccer and engaging with our Team Evanston players.
Congratulations to the U12 Boys Orange team for being ranked #3 in Illinois and #5 in the Midwest by gotsoccer.com. The team recently won the St. Louis Scott Gallagher tournament by finishing undefeated and outscoring their opponents 14-0. In addition, the team is currently undefeated in NISL league play.
The Team Evanston U13 Orange boys are champs in their community volunteer efforts. The boys conducted a canned food drive in association with Feed Someone Today, a newly formed social enterprise whose mission is to provide food assistance to those in need. In addition, they sorted, counted, and grouped foods for packaging. In total, they collected approximately 150 pounds of food! Recipients of this good deed include a group of 160 for the McGaw YMCA Resident Healthy Eating Initiative. Congratulations TE U13 Orange boys! Well done!!

Italian Food Culture
It's no secret that Italians love their food and cherish meal times as more than just a time to eat. Eating is about socializing with friends and family and since dinners alone can be upwards of two hours, understanding the customs can help you adjust, and even embrace, these experiences. You may find that these rules are more flexible in some places, but having an understanding of them is a good place to start:
- Coffee Culture All about coffee in Italy, but most importantly, how to order coffee in an Italian 'bar.' Read about customs and types of coffee so you never miss out on something delicious!
- Food Rules While some rules were made to be broken, remember that Italian culture centers on food and dining so they have a few more opinions about how to eat than we do. Trust them, they know what they're doing and you're taste buds will thank you.
- Aperitivo Better than happy hour, you'll want to experience this social eating and drinking tradition as often as you can!
- Wine Guide A guide to wine labels and etiquette for the non-stuffy traveler.
Always keep in mind: you have choices and options at your fingertips for your study in Italy experience; by being proactive, you can discover all the possibilities before you even leave the States! Unfortunately, many students don't discover these realities until they are abroad and have already committed to something. Take charge of your experience and tailor it to your desires with a little planning; we guarantee, you'll have a better experience because of it. Besides, once you're in Italy, you'll want to spend all your time leisurely eating gelato and admiring the beautiful surroundings instead of planning.

Lirik Lagu Bon Jovi - Santa Fe Lyrics
They say that no man is an island,
And good things come to those who wait.
Things are here are there just to remind me,
Every dog will have his day.
The spirits, They intoxicate me.
I watch the people trade my soul.
They try to say, It's too late for me.
Tell my guns I'm coming home.
I swear I'm gonna live forever.
Tell my maker He can wait.
I'm riding somewhere south of Heaven,
Headed back to Santa Fe.
It's judgement day in Santa Fe.
Whats ours promised absolution.
There's only one solution for my sins.
Gotta face your ghosts and know in no illusion,
That only one of you is going home again.
And I blame this world, For making a good man evil.
It's this world, that can drive a good man bad.
And it's this world, that turns a killer into a hero.
Well I blame this world for making a good man bad.
No I ain't getting into Heaven,
If the devil has his way.
I swear, I'm gonna live forever.
Headed back to Santa Fe.
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe.
It's judgement day in Santa Fe.
Lord have mercy.
So I say a prayer, When I need it most,
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.
And sign it from a sinner with no name.
Well, I'll meet my Maker when they close the book,
On the hearts I broke and the lifes I took.
When you walk away cause my souls too late to save.
No I ain't getting into Heaven,
If the devil has his way.
I swear I'm gonna live forever,
headed back to Santa Fe.
I got debts to pay in Santa Fe.
It's judgement day in Santa Fe.

Park is locatede right on the Hampton harbor . Location,location, Location. Nearly impossible to get a site, There are NO amenities. State employees are nice , sites are large gravel at least 60 feet , they require little to no maintainance. - Camping USA

Talk about location! You are on the banks of Hampton Harbor! Short walk over the dunes and you are on the sandy beach of the Atlantic ocean. There is a great downtown just a short walk down the street. Restaurants, arcades, nightlife, name it they have it... Aside from all of that the campground itself is a no frills campground. You need to book this place at least 11 months in advance. They only have 28 (FHU sites) and it is very difficult to find availability. The do have several sites without hook-ups if you like that type of camping. There is no wifi, no cable, but I did pick up 25 or so channels over the air. We will definitely return to this campground provided that we can get in. - clw_man

We camped here pre-season (when reservations are not required but sites are given on a first come, first serve basis). It was a beautiful weekend. This campground is a short walk to the beach and right on the ocean. This was our first visit (we haven't been able to get in during previous seasons). We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again. I did think it was a little expensive, though. - viewnh

We arrived a day early which caused some consternation for the lady at the desk. Check in took a while and after much consideration she determined that the site which had been reserved for us was available and we wouldn't have to move. The site was in deep woods, no satellite service. We were parked below the level of the sewer and the pipe was a good six inches above ground. We had to have limbs cut to open the slides. They did so promptly but normal maintenance should have prevented the need to call. Gravel at the site was tiny and mixed with dirt, it was a constant pain, tracking into the coach. It rained hard while there and we had gravel and mud splashed up onto the sides of the coach almost 3 feet above ground. No washing is allowed so I had to use a bucket, water and sponge to rinse off the bottom of the coach before travel. This was one of the dirtiest campsites we've had on this trip. - LivinTheDream

Stopped in on our way to Maine. Nice place but a bit hard to find. Follow directions on website. Owner was a very nice lady and kids enjoyed the pool after 6 hours in car. Close to beach but we just stayed the night. Very clean place. Would stay again. - markbrit
Jun 2011 - $43.00
Family friendly campground. Not for partiers for sure. Want to feel that your kids can play safe this is the place. "Walking Speed" for cars strictly enforced, but for yours and your kids safety. I think we can all live with that ! Very close to the beach which is what we came for. Will return. - Canadianfamilyfun

We have a 60yr old home that has a few substantial cracks in the foundation. The issue is that in the spring we end up with a pool in our basement. The backyard slopes towards the house and all the snow that falls melts and comes in through these cracks. Do I have any options as to how to fix this problem?? HELP!!!

- Basement & Foundation >
- Cracked and leaking
Hi magnum,
PS: God Bless America!
Maybe. I don't know if it's a DIY project. You may be able to attack this problem from the outside, I don't know. You may have no choice but to attack it from the INSIDE. Either way, have a Contractor that SPECIALIZES in this line of work talk to you about BOTH options. First educate yourself, then you'll be able to make an informed decision. Sorry, but I can't see it from here.
My best to ya and hope this helps.

PS: God Bless America!
First try this. I had the same problem with my basement. Every time we got heavy rains I would get water in the basement along the east wall. One day, during a rain shower, I went outside to watch the rain and see how it drained from the house, to my suprise it did not. It in fact puddled alond the east side foundation. I stood back and realized that the yard sloped towards the house, this is bad. I got a load of black dirt and built up the east yard so it now slpoes away from the house and guess what, that solved about 95% of the water problem. A little hydrolic cement in the cracks and a coat of Drylock paint and "BAM!!" no more water.
I have same problem. First, I'm going to dig a trench along leaking foundation and fill with perforated pipe at base (solid side faces the house), then I will cover pipe with gravel and then dirt. Second I will grade top of dirt to slope away from the house. Third I am "painting" the walls with Thoroughseal (Home Depot).

Remove jobs from print queue printer properties
Who has not ever want to remove documents from the print queue, with the option to "Cancel all documents", and has not been possible? Tends to be somewhat annoying, and usually we end up solving it having to restart the computer and turning off the printer, but sometimes even so is sufficient. Operating system indicates instruction that are simple and can remove all jobs in the print queue "stuck" without restarting the computer. First to know a bit about how Windows manages the printing of documents. When you print any document, Windows sends it to a file with a specific format. This file is usually created in the folder:
C: / WINDOWS/system32/spool/PRINTERSwith file names like: FP00002.SHD, FP00002.SPL, 00003.SPL, 00003.SHD, etc.
To illustrate this manual, we generated a printing error in a controlled document. If we print a document and we get an error indicating that it has been printed, we can see and try to cancel it from the
- Start button - Settings - Control Panel "Printers and Faxes".
- Select the printer error has been printing and double clicking on it.
- Windows will show a window with the jobs that are printed at this time, your status, the document name, owner, the number of pages, size sent to the printer and the total size, the date of shipment, the port used , etc.
- If we try to cancel the document to print other documents, you have to press the right mouse button on the document that has been of "Error - Printing", will show a context menu, select "Cancel".
- If pressing "Cancel" in the menu does not work, we try accessing the menu "Printer" - "Cancel all documents".

Two Novels About Growing Up
These two searingly funny and unsettling portraits of teenagers beyond the control and largely beneath the notice of adults in 1980s Taiwan are the first English translations of works by Taiwan's most famous and best-selling literary cult figure. Chang Ta-chun's intricate narrative and keen, ironic sense of humor poignantly and piercingly convey the disillusionment and cynicism of modern Taiwanese youth.
Interweaving the events between the birth of the narrator's younger sister and her abortion at the age of nineteen, the first novel, My Kid Sister, evokes the complex emotional impressions of youth and the often bizarre social dilemmas of adolescence. Combining discussions of fate, existentialism, sexual awakening, and everyday "absurdities" in a typically dysfunctional household, it documents the loss of innocence and the deconstruction of a family.
In Wild Child, fourteen-year-old Hou Shichun drops out of school, runs away from home, and descends into the Taiwanese underworld, where he encounters an oddball assortment of similarly lost adolescents in desperate circumstances. This novel will inevitably invite comparisons with the classic The Catcher in the Rye, but unlike Holden Caulfield, Hou isn't given any second chances. With characteristic frankness and irony, Chang's teenagers bear witness to a new form of cultural and spiritual bankruptcy.
"Chang is an astute observer and perceptive cultural critic...English readers will easily identify with the sentiments and circumstances portrayed by Chang and skillfully translated by Berry." — Sylvia Li-chun Lin, World Literature TodayUniversity of Colorado, Denver
"Ghoulish, playful, totally subversive." — Emily Gordon, Newsday
"In two jaunty, disturbing novellas from Taiwan... Chang Ta-chun presents us with disaffected adolescents who roam city streets, complain about school, fantasize about gangster life, and wear Chicago Bulls T-shirts." — Maureen McLane, The New York Times Book Review
"Chang writes accessible, knowing and very funny fiction about youth and screwed-up families—some of the best of its kind.... My Kid Sister... could be America's next teen classic." — Publishers Weekly
"It's a considerable feat to have kids spout off about existentialism and not have them sound pretentious. Or high." — Barbara Spindel, Spin
"Wild Kids turned out to be not only the window on Taiwan I was looking for, but also a quick and enjoyable summer read. It is not without depth nor short of something to sink your teeth into." — Jonathan S. Landreth, VirtualChina.com
"This novel will inevitably invite comparisons with the classic The Catcher in the Rye." — Philippines Today
"Churning out political thrillers, martial arts short stories, hard-boiled detective mysteries, a sci-fi, collection, and just about every other genre since 1976, Chang Ta-chun is a literary celebrity in Taiwan." — Martin Wong, Giant Robot Magazine
"On the surface, this fully engaging novel written by Chang Ta-chun, one of the most critically acclaimed and popularly successful writers in Taiwan today, is a fantastic adventure story featuring a middle-class teenage boy of divorced parents in Taipei's underground criminal circle. The narrative delights with its many twists and turns at the textual level, consisting of ingeniously crafted plot and disarmingly pungent and witty commentaries. While the universal 'rite of passage'theme of the adolescent quest for the wisdom of life is rendered with Chang's hallmark postmodern cynicism, the author has simultaneously registered his deep sense of disillusionment with the degenerating social and political life in post–martial law Taiwan." — Sung-sheng Yvonne Chang, coeditor of Bamboo Shoots After the Rain: Contemporary Stories by Women Writers of Taiwan
"Chang Ta-chun is Taiwan's most talented, unruly, and ultimately playful writer. Like the mischievous Monkey (who makes a mockery of Heaven) in the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West, Chang has repeatedly created quite a ruckus on the contemporary literary scene. He has always been able to tap into a dynamic youthful energy while, at the same time, possessing the rare ability to offer insight into the nature of what it means to be alive. Combine these two qualities and you have Wild Kids, an addictive little literary treasure." — Mo Yan, author of The Republic of Wine and Red Sorghum

THE political history of Massachusetts from 1846 to 1865 is, in general, the history of the share of the Commonwealth in the great National contest with Slavery; the beginning and growth of the Free Soil or Republican Party and the putting down of the Rebellion. The rise and dominion for three years, and final overthrow of the Know Nothing Party is an episode which should not be wholly omitted, although it is an episode which might be omitted without injury to the sense.
There have been, ever since the Irish immigration which begun somewhere about 1840 down to to-day, a great many worthy people who have been afraid of the Pope and the influence of Catholicism in this country, and have been exceedingly jealous of the influence of foreigners, especially of those of the Roman Catholic Church. Self-seeking political adventurers and demagogues have not been slow to take advantage of this feeling for their own purposes. They have, for some reason, always preferred to make their political movement in secret societies. The Catholic vote had generally been cast for the Democrats, and was supposed to be largely influenced by the Catholic clergy. It was thought that this influence had a good deal to do with defeating Mr. Clay in 1844. A movement of this kind swept over the country after the Presidential election of 1852. It had nearly spent its force by 1856. It made little headway at the South, except in two or three States. There was a struggle with it in Virginia, where it was defeated by the superhuman energy of Henry A. Wise. The party organized for the purpose of excluding men of foreign birth from any share in the Government, sometimes called the American Party, was generally called the Know

Since Sargis is the only employed person in his family, he can hardly manage to make ends meet. All financial questions are his responsibility to solve and he feels very upset since, working the whole day long, he still does not have the chance to provide for his family properly as he wishes.
Sargis is asking for a loan of 370,000 Armenian drams since he must pay his daughters' tuition fees, 180,000 drams for his elder daughter's education and 190,000 drams for his younger daughter's education.

"Brantford-Where I live" Brantford by Aphrodite21
Brantford Travel Guide: 66 reviews and 48 photos
Well this is my town. Brantford Ontario. Population 82001. LOL, you can't forget that one. Located off hwy 403, 25 minutes from Hamilton, 1 hour from Toronto and London. Home of Alexander Graham Bell, Phil Hartman, and the great Wayne Gretzky. I've lived here since 1995 moving from an even smaller town with a population of 50.
I don't know how to describe this town without sounding too negative. Living here really isn't all that bad. But most people from Brantford will tell you that the problem is that there's just nothing to do here. It shouldn't be this boring here for a town this size. And then there's the big problem concerning our downtown or lack thereof. In every single city you go to, the downtown is the centre of activity. This is where you go if you want a night out. Everything revolves around the downtown. But not in Brantford. In Brantford the downtown consists of 2 one way streets and most of the shops are boarded up. It really is a depressing sight. Everyone has their own ideas on how to revitalize it but I don't know if anything will ever be successful. The only point of interest there is the casino.
That's the negative but it's not all like that. The northern part of Brantford has actually grown and gotten more exciting in recent years. I myself like to refer to that as the new downtown. They've got the highway to thank for that partly. A few years ago they lengthened the 403 further East towards Ancaster (and it goes straight through Brantford now) and tons of businesses have popped up near the entrance and exit ramps. That whole section of the city looks completely different now. However, most people I know still want to get the hell out of here. It's not bad living here but I like the vibrant life of bigger cities.
The logo you see above is the official Brantford logo. There was a contest a while back, if I recall correctly, to design the new city logo and this is the end result. I got it (and some of the photos I'm using) from http://www.city.brantford.on.ca/index.htm.

I've got a Nord Modular and a Roland Juno 106 and a TR909 wired with Cubase that sound good until the loop returns, then the Nord Modular and the Juno switch sounds to the default sounds. Why is this happening and how can I resolve it?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 24 '14 at 18:30
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
This is half guess and half intuition: -
Maybe the default midi settings for the cubase track need to be set correctly so that when the loop goes back to the start, cubase doesn't issue default midi instrument settings?
If you set start and end loop points within the extents of the track does it loop and keep the same settings OK?
Here is my guess:
The problem is that the default zero PC/CC values are transmitted at loop start, and whatever state your machines are in lost.
The quick fix is to stop Cubase from sending these messages. You can use the List Editor to find these and delete the messages.
Depending on your Cubase version, you may have the Logical Editor or Logical Presets (MIDI->Logical Presets->standard set 2->del patch changes).
But even better: try to record/specify the real program change and controller change messages. This way you will be able to use more than one setting per device per song (with you having to stop, reconfigure and bounce another part).

Anyone riding 6 Gap next weekend?
Anyone riding 6 Gap next weekend?
I'm doing it but if the weather is bad, I may ride my commuter (fenders & carrying capacity) for three gaps instead of six.
Sheriff: You have a lot of experience with bounty hunters, do you?
Mattie Ross: That is a silly question. I am here to settle my fathers affairs.
Sheriff: All alone?
Mattie Ross: I am the person for it. Mama was never any good at sums and she could hardly spell CAT.
--from the movie True Grit (2010)
I'll be there doing the full 6 gaps. It's going to hurt, but it'll be a ton of fun.
Me and the wife are coming from Ohio, she's doing 3 gap I'm doing 6 gap. So what do you Ga. people think, will the weather give us a break? I may end up on the 3 gap with her if the weather is bad.
BTW look for the two people with "Lorain Wheelmen" jersey's at the start and say hi! The jersey's are very colorful but mostly blue and yellow that stand out. How about anyone else, how do we pick ya out?
Dan and Tina
I'll be wearing my Florida State kit. I'm usually pretty easy to pick out.
Dan, I will be in a Scotts Bikes kit........it looks like we may get wet......
did notice that the weather service has lowered the chance for rain to 30%, here's hoping it will get lower
Yea, I've been keeping my eye on the weather. Glad to see the downgrade from scattered T-storms (40%) to few showers (30%)...
I'll be doing Six Gap, looking forward to it!
Weather is looking better. I live here but this will be my first, doing Three Gap. Been training a lot...not sure it's enough but we'll see. They been cleared to accept up to 3000 applications this year (previous was limited to 2500) so should be a good crowd. Don't forget there is an Expo on the Dahlonega square all day saturday as well.
Ride safe.
We'll be doing it on the Tandem. Should be the only Orange tandem with Velobrew kits.
You could fall off a cliff and die.
You could get lost and die.
You could hit a tree and die.
Three Gap for me...
One million thanks to Dahlonega WheelWorks. Not only were they official sponsors but they provided a mechanic's station at the Jack's Gap rest stop which saved the day for me.
I broke my rear gear cable before the climb up to Jack's and, after making the bike as road worthy as possible, I struggled up to the rest stop. If I hadn't been able to get a cable and the tools I needed, my day would have been over. Even with a fully functional bike I had a really tough day, but it would have been hopeless if I hadn't been able to fix the cable.
So if you're ever in Dahlonega in need of anything bike-related, please check them out. Their website is much more interesting than most business websites; whoever does it has sense of humor.
Sheriff: You have a lot of experience with bounty hunters, do you?
Mattie Ross: That is a silly question. I am here to settle my fathers affairs.
Sheriff: All alone?
Mattie Ross: I am the person for it. Mama was never any good at sums and she could hardly spell CAT.
--from the movie True Grit (2010)
What an amazing event!! Man I couldn't believe the break we got on the weather, I thought the day was doomed. Who could have quessed we would ride in such beautiful weather as that after an all night rain!!
Me and the wife had a great time, ain't say it wasn't hard, but we both completed our rides better than we could have hoped. My wife was on 3 gap and finished in 3:58 52nd place and 6th for women, her climb time was pretty impressive as well. I did the 6 gap and finished in 6:42 in 160th place 16th in the 50-54 men My KOM was 1:11 for 207th not bad for a flat lander!
Thanks too all you Georgia people!! What a friendly bunch of people! I will recommend this ride, as well as the location to all who ask. I envy you guys and the scenery you get to enjoy on just your regular day to day rides.
Thanks, The maddock's

Once upon a midnight dreary
I came online, weak and weary
Over many quaint and curious
Handmade items did I pore
While I clicked, wrist a-twisting,
Suddenly there came a listing
Of something that I did desire
Of something that I now require
This smashing tee
from the Binary Winter store!
"This I heart, and nothing more!" -
Quoth the Raven, nevermore!
Inspired by one too many readings of Poe, our Nevermore tee depicts a mysterious raven perched before a cellar door. The design is framed by the entire text of Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven", with its themes of undying devotion and memory.
(This tee was spotted on the show "Heroes" on NBC!)
Shipping to
Welcome to the Binary Winter Press store!
We make books, art, and apparel inspired by the things we love best, from robots to fairy tales, steampunk and science. We screen print all of our clothing by hand ourselves using only eco-friendly water-based inks. We take great pride and use our OCD powers for good in making sure all of our prints are as perfect as possible but since each item is silk screened by hand and unique, there can be slight variations.

For domestic orders, we offer a $5 flat rate shipping for as many items as you want for T-shirts and Hoodies, and $3 flat rate shipping for Ties (also unlimited). All items are shipped by USPS First Class with delivery confirmation where available. Larger orders are shipped USPS Priority or Parcel Post.
Do you accept orders placed outside of the US?
We sure do! For international orders, we use USPS First Class (which has slight price variations depending on item weight, we have tried to estimate as close as possible). Please note, we are not responsible for any customs charges or lost international orders. Please be patient as international packages can take anywhere from a week to over a month, especially when traveling to the opposite side of the planet or remote areas.
What is this store's return and exchange policy?
We allow refunds and exchanges on unwashed/unworn items. Shipping charges are non-refundable and any extra shipping fees are the responsibility of the buyer. We want you to be happy with your order! If there are any issues with our products or service, please don't hesitate to contact us.
