Lyon 0 Real Madrid 2 CL 1st Knockout Round
Real Madrid 2 Inter 0. UCL final 2008/09.

Liverpool - Wolves 0-0 , im Liverpool.
Im in January and thats my first draw of the season.
benfica 6 - 0 Boavista
Im benfica ofc, 2nd season.
Dundee 0-1 Dundee United
Blue Square Prem 09/10
Braintree Town 2-0 Burton
Only recently got the game and finally played my first non-friendly match last night. I am Seville hosting Atletico Madrid. A few minutes into the second half, up 2-1, Fabiano nods one in for his hat trick. Within five minutes, Kanoute sends off a volley from the midfield line for no good reason that I can see. Guess the goalie was napping, because the thing rainbows in! 55 yards out! I would have thought it a video game fluke if I hadn't seen videos of it happening in real life (hopefully it stays rare in FM form).
Now I'm up 4-1 but Samao catches fire. He isn't always the goal scorer (I think he only put one in himself), but he was the architect of Atletico's comeback bid. They bring it to 4-3 with still 15 minutes to go in the game and I'm certain the computer's going to ruin my hatrick-rainbow beauty. With a little less than ten to go, Atletico corners one in from the left that is headed on, hits the crossbar, bounces down, just in front of the line and bounces away, subsequently to be cleared. Think France's penalty against Italy in 06 (Trezeguet, I think?).
Atletico may have had one more attacking run, but I held serve. 4-3 final.
I'm sure this kind of thing, while not commonplace, is not new to you guys who have played hundreds of years over several FM's and have watched hundreds of matches on television or even played. But to this American with slight experience with the sport, that was one grand way to start an FM career! I must be feeling the hooks, because I've been replaying that 55-yarder and that near equalizer all day today.
Nice 0 - 1 Schalke
Pre season friendly!
Betis 1 Real Sociedad 4 In season 2013/14, turned Sociedad into best side in Spain, won the La Liga last 2 seasons and the cup last season. Currently PLD 12 W12 in the league this season.
A.C MILAN 2 Torino 0 Serie A.
P.S Just when I think this thread has died, it pops back up again..
Lancaster City 2-3 Fc United
Pre season friendly and should have won by more goals, missed two sitters.
Panama 1 - 1 St. Martin
Home win had odds of 1-33. Admittedly I did change a few things around, what with it being a friendly, but still, an overwhelmingly poor result. We played pretty well in the last few competitive games so maybe false confidence had sprung into the camp. Another home banker coming up, the guys better pull their fingers out or there'll be trouble.
A.C.Milan - Catania 7-0 Serie A 9th week.
Tottenham 3 - 0 Hull. 30th December 2009 (midway second season). Premier Division fixture.
Aston Villa 1-0 Liverpool Great Result
Grasshopers - A.C.Milan 0-4
Spain 5 - 0 Colombia.
Germany 3 - Cameroon 1 last group stage game in the World Cup, finished bottom having lost to Brazil and Germany, did manage a creditable draw against Australia though
Lyon 2 - 1 Hannover Uefa Cup Final. Absolutely gutted. Went all the way to the final to see my star Centre Midfielder sent off in the 14th minute. Still proud of what my team achieved. I'm in two minds now whether or not i'm going to stay.
Blackburn 1 - 1 Man City.
Final Game of the season
A win would have won me (Blackburn) the title, but i'll have to settle for 3rd place.
Started a new game last night. Played about seven or eight matches. My last result was...
Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2-0 Kilmarnock
Should have been about 8-0, though. Battered them.
Just starting to get into FM09 this past week, started out as Preston and just got destroyed by bottom of the table Doncaster 3-0 in my 12 game of the season.
Doncaster managed 31 shots, 16 on target so i got of lightly.
Really need to sort my defenders out. Is Mark Lawrenson available?
Hull 4 Espanyol 0.
Bolton 2 - 1 Canterbury
Teach me to go Attacking when up 0-1 at the half.....
Wigan 2 - Man Utd 1
FA Cup quarter final
Im Wigan
Americano (RJ) 3 x 0 Cardoso Moreira
Pre-season friendly that i arranged involving the 3 teams of the city i grew up (Campos dos Goytacazes, Brazil): Americano (RJ), Goytacaz and Rio Branco (RJ); plus a team from the region: Cardoso Moreira; actually Cardoso Moreira was only a district of Campos, they emancipated and became a city just a few years back.
Anyway, now we'll have the "Goytacano" (That is Americano x Goytacaz) derby in the final.
AC MILAN 3 Barcelona 1 CL Qtr Final 1st Leg
1 nil down at half time, used team talk "we must get result, no excuses".
Scored 3 in last 5 mins. Including a 90th minute free kick after the Barce keeper handled outside the area.(Only got a yellow)
Man Utd 3 - 0 Arsenal
FA Cup Final
Dominated from start to finish, very satisfying match that, after losing the title by 2 points (I had 89!!) and going out in the CL Semi Final on penalties.
I desperately wanted to win something.
Wolves 2-1 Cardiff City
17 Games and 11 Points clear of Reading
Newcastle 2 - 3 Sunderland at St James' Park
St Albans City 5 - 0 Torquay
Great result for many reasons, including my debutant young midfielder cracking in a goal on his debut
Americano (RJ) 1 x 1 Goytacaz; 5 x 6 on penalties
I lost in my first derby
FC United 3-0 Odense
Finished with 9 men as well
napoli - milan 2-4
Real Oviedo 3-1 Real Madrid
Was just shocked that I beat them. Still celebrating right now.
And the game before that was Real Oviedo 2-2 FC Barcelona.
Rangers 2-2 Falkirk
Disappointing result seeing as i am Rangers
Leyton Orient 2-0 Bristol City
Bognor Regis 1-2 Hayes and Yeading
Goal for Paul Furlong at 41
Madrid 1 - 5 Valladolid
That's the last time I play my youngsters in a cup game.

Mid-season friendly in the Ekstraklasa. (Anyone know why Polish teams do this?)
Sunderland 0-1 Pomps
Up to 6th
Shame my hitman regen Goran Mustafi missed a good chance , won though so not too angry, although he's one of those guys who's immune from criticism, I'm sure everyone's got someone like that in their squad
League one
Leeds 2 - 1 Leicster
Was our 9th game unbeaten although we won we should have come away with the defeat or drew at the least we played like amateurs and our keeper kept us in the game with five terrific saves, and delph scored the winner in the 90th minute with a pearl from distance.
Birmingham 1 Barnsley 2 (Championship, First Season)
Shocking, absolutely shocking...
Independiente 1 - 3 Independiente Rivadavia (14^ Apertura, Season 2014-15)
Nice timing for this thread to pop up again, as I just got this result
FC United 0 - 1 Kidderminster
They are top of the league... but still, it's the end of a year-long unbeaten home record.
Everton 2-0 Fulham
Newcastle 3-1 Man u. Im newcastle second season great result with milevskyi scoring 2.
Barcelona 1 - 2 Real Madrid

With temperatures warming up, folks are more likely to get out of the house, knowing they won't have to srape their windhield or drive on snowy roads following a play or concert.
Speaking of which, there are multiple good entertainment choices this weekend, so let's run through your best bets, shall we?
Starting Thursday night, Irish rockers The Young Dubliners wil be at The Depot for their annual St. Patrick's-Dayish area appearance. Tickets are $25 at smithstix.com.
A bit hipper way to spend Thursday night is over at Kilby Court as Nebraska indie-folkers The Mynabirds pay a visit as they journey through the West en route to Texas for the SXSW Festival. Tickets are $12 for the 7 p.m. show. a good time at Abravanel Hall and enjoy the Utah Symphony as guest conductor Vladimir Kulonovic and the Children's Dance Theatre team up to perform Saint-Saens musical take on such animals as the lion, the elephant and swan. Sounds like a great time, whether you have a pack of kids in tow or not. Tickets remain on sale.
Also on Saturday, back at The Depot, Chicago rockers Umphrey's McGee bring their guitar chops and crazy energy into Salt Lake City for the third straight year as part of their "Death By Stereo" tour. These guys, pictured above, fuse elements of metal and reggae and improvisation together for a strange musical brew that sounds like almost nothing else. Tickets are on sale at smithstix.com. and are $17.50 in advance. The show begins at 8 p.m. with DJ-band JIMKATA opening.
And for a mellow Sunday night, Salt Lake-based folk singer Josh Rosenthal is playing a Sunday night gig at The State Room. Tickets are $15.
Finally, and for a not-so-mellow Sunday night, the intense, dramatic rock and stage show of A Place To Bury Strangers will again play The Urban Lounge. A friend of mind who saw this group a few years back said it's a sight to behold. I'm tempted to see for myself. Tickets are at 24tix.comfor the 9 p.m. and local rockers, The Tolchock Trio will open the gig.

Scrappy Rainbow Placemats - A Tutorial
Want to make some colorful, summery placemats? Here's the tutorial for the Scrappy Rainbow Placemats I made for the Make Mine Modern swap.
Before we start, let me again credit Angela, whose amazing Pink Lemonade quilt was the inspiration for these placemats. The original idea was all hers. Thank you, Angela!
You will need:
• scraps in 12 different prints of Color A (I'm using pink)
• scraps in 12 different prints of Color B (I'm using purple)
• 7 - 4.5" white squares
• 3 - 4.5" x 2.5" white rectangles
• piece of fabric for backing/binding, 15"-16" by 21"-22"
• 14" x 20" piece of batting
From six of your pink prints: Cut two 2.5" squares and two 1.5" squares from each print.
From the other six pink prints: Cut one 2.5" square and one 1.5" square from each print.
From six of your purple prints: Cut two 2.5" squares and two 1.5" squares from each print.
From the other six purple prints: Cut one 2.5" square and one 1.5" square from each print.
1. Take the white squares and rectangles, and lay them out in a checkerboard pattern, as shown, with the rectangles at the bottom. Be sure to lay out your pieces in a location where they can remain undisturbed until you're done piecing the top!
2. Now grab some of your unpaired pink and purple 2.5" squares (so, the prints from which you cut only one 2.5" square) and start laying them out in a row across the top, between the white pieces, alternating colors, as shown.
3. For your next row, use unpaired squares at each end of the row, and paired squares everywhere else. Again, alternate colors, so that you start to create a checkerboard pattern.
4. Continue laying out your pink and purple squares, following the pattern you've established. Be sure to keep your paired prints together, kitty-corner from each other, as shown in the photo above. (Sorry the squares are such a wrinkled mess!)
5. Take your 1.5" squares and lay them out over the top of your white background pieces. Put a 1.5" square at each corner of the white pieces, matching prints up with the corresponding 2.5" squares, as shown in the photo. (You should end up with two 1.5" squares left over.)
6. Once you're satisfied with your layout, pin your 1.5" pieces into place, on top of the white background pieces. Please note that you are not pinning for sewing placement. You're only pinning them to keep track of where all these teeny little squares go. But trust me, you'll want to take the time to do this!
7. Last step before you can start sewing: Mark the center line on your sewing machine, if you haven't already. You will use this as a reference line to sew diagonally across the 1.5" squares without having to mark all the squares. (This is a tip I picked up from Linda when she participated in the Supernova quilt-along.) I marked mine with a purple sticky note. I used the sticky note because it's repositionable, so I can put it right over my drop-in bobbin compartment.
8. Finally, you get to sew! : ) Take your first white piece, with the 1.5" squares pinned onto the corners. Unpin one of the little squares and flip it over, so right sides are facing. (If you're using a directional fabric, it should be oriented 90 degrees from the way you want it to appear after it's sewn.) Keep your other three squares pinned, so you don't lose track of which corner they go on!
9. Using the center line that you marked on your machine, sew a diagonal line across the 1.5" square, from corner to corner, as shown. Just keep the point of the 1.5" square on the marked line at all times as you sew, and you'll end up with a perfect diagonal seam.
10. Do the same with each of the other three 1.5" squares. You should now have a piece that looks like this.
11. Trim off the excess fabric beyond the diagonal seam at each corner and press your prints out, toward the corners, so you have a piece that looks like this. I recommend pressing seams open here. Repeat the above steps until all of your 1.5" squares are sewn into corner triangles on your all of your white background pieces.
12. Now for the easy part! Sew together the 2.5" squares into four-patch blocks. Start by sewing pairs of pink and purple squares together, as shown. Now I recommend pressing the seams to the side, since I find four-patches go together better with side-pressed seams that can be nested together.
13. Sew the pairs together into a four-patch. At this point I went back to pressing my seams open, since it's no longer important for alignment, and open seams reduce bulk.
14. Now you should have 20 blocks that can be sewn together into a completed top. So go ahead, what are you waiting for? : )
15. Layer your backing/binding, batting, and top, and baste with a few pins. You backing/binding piece should be at least 1/2" larger than the top and batting on each side.
16. I quilted mine in straight lines, outlining the basic shapes created by the piecing. I also used two different colors of thread to echo the fabric colors.
17. I used Made By Rae's "Cheater Binding" tutorial for quick and easy binding. This is why the backing piece needs to be larger than the top—you'll be folding it around to the front and sewing it down to create the binding. The only change I made to Rae's tutorial is that my binding is narrower, which I thought was better for a small piece like a placemat.
Good luck! Please let me know if you make these placemats, I would love to see them.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 32 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by lokuehl Spicy Tortilla soup I received this as a Christmas gift and loved it so much I had to order more. February 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoyfulJC Delicious and Easy This soup far exceeded my expectation for flavor. It was super easy to make - the only thing I needed was chicken breasts. And the flavor is wonderful. I added some cheese, sour cream, and guacamole and it was superb! January 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gamecock Wonderful soup! I hosted a ladies' favorite things party. I received the soup as one of my favorite things, tried it out and loved it! Would definitely recommend it to anyone. It would also make a great college gift basket item. November 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trine Perfect for a student budget! I am just starting my business and my boyfriend is still in University so we have a pretty tight budget. only $5 for this soup mix and the cost of some chicken breasts, it is one of our favorite meals! We like to add a bit of sour cream and crushed tortilla chips to the soup. December 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Championfiregal So good we eat it in the summer! This soup is (next to my grandma's homemade vegetable soup), the best I have ever had. I make it about every 2 weeks for my family and everyone gobbles it up! My family loves hot and spicy so I add 2 cans diced jalapenos,2 cans hot diced green chilies, 1 1/2 lb shredded chicken, and a cup of chicken stock for extra broth. I cook it in my crockpot for about 6-7 hours so the rice isn't crunchy. I serve it with a dollop of sour cream on top, chives, a little cheddar cheese and crushed tortilla chips, oh and can't forget the cornbread as well. Left overs last maybe 4-5 days. September 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashli Great crock pot meal Ignore the directions. Put 1-2 lbs chicken breast into a crock pot, pour the seasoning over the chicken, then about 32 oz of chicken stock and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Just before it's done pour in some sweet corn. I also sometimes put in a can of tomato paste for extra flavor or a jar of salsa at the start all depending on what I have on hand. You'll get a tortilla 'stew'--thick and delicious and great with some sour cream, cheese, and chips for dipping! September 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lulu Really Good! I was very surprised at the flavor of this soup. I am not a soup person normally but I loved this and so did my very picky husband!!! I only added corn and chicken to it and I am sad to say the left overs are almost gone :( I will be buying this one again and trying more of the others as this one was quick and very easy to make!!! January 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen ONE WORD: AMAZINGGGGG BOUGHT THIS THINKING I WOULD TRY IT AND WOW! WAS I PRESENTLY SURPRISED! ITS SOOOOOOO FLAVORFUL! SO GOOD, IM GOING TO GO NOW BUY A BUNCH OF THEM. YUM! January 2, 2012

The Crimson Tide's Power of Pink initiative was implemented in 2004 by former Alabama gymnastics coach Sarah Patterson
Derrick had a legendary career at Alabama, where he was one of the most dominant linebackers to ever play his position
Seventeen of our teams posted scores that were above the national average in their respective sports for the figures that cover the four-year period from the 2008-09 through 2012-13 school years.
The excitement kicked off with our gymnastics team beating Florida on Friday night in a down-to-the-wire contest that ultimately required our two seniors, Diandra Milliner and Kim Jacob, each scoring 9.85 in the final event of the evening to bring home the victory.
Dan Waters was named the head men's and women's track coach at the University of Alabama on May 11, 2011 after seven successful seasons at Texas A&M.While serving recruiting coordinator and distance coach for the Aggies under the tutelage of legendary A&M head coach Pat Henry he was a key contributor to a coaching staff that has led the Aggies to unprecedented success on the conference and national scene. The Aggies have won six NCAA national championships including back-to-back-to-back men's and women's outdoor titles, a feat that had never before been accomplished.The Aggie women won eight consecutive Big 12 titles in the past four years (four indoor, four outdoor) while the A&M men claimed their first Big 12 Indoor title in 2001, the men's first conference indoor title since a Southwest Conference team title in 1980. Both programs have been ranked No. 1 by USTFCCCA over the past couple of years both indoors and outdoors.
"After an intensive and thorough national search, we are proud to welcome Dan Waters as the head coach of our combined men's and women's track and field programs," UA Athletic Director Mal Moore said. "We set out to find a coach who would bring energy, organization and a winning background to our track and field program. Dan has a proven record of conference as well as national championship success and he is an outstanding recruiter who will put together an excellent coaching staff. We are very excited about the future of Alabama track and field."
"I am excited to have the opportunity to lead the Alabama track and field program," Waters said. "Alabama has an outstanding reputation in college athletics and a rich tradition in track and field. I look forward to the challenge ahead. Coach Moore has a vision for our program and he is dedicated to being the very best. I look forward to working with him and the entire staff."
One of the nation's top distance coaches, Waters also served as the recruiting coordinator at Texas A&M and assisted the process of upgrading the program's talent level to be consistently competitive on the conference and national level. His recruiting and coaching efforts have been vital in the men and women each winning three consecutive NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2009, 2010 and 2011, as the program became just the second school to achieve the NCAA Championship double-double since LSU in 1989 and 1990 and the first to have both programs win three in a row.
Recent recruiting classes at Texas A&M have earned No. 1 rankings by Track & Field News. In fact, in 2009 both the men and women recruiting classes were chosen the top recruiting classes in the nation by the monthly magazine, becoming just the second school to earn that acclaim in the 15-year history of Track & Field News ranking collegiate classes. The Aggie women also enjoyed a three-year run as the No. 1 class, from 2007 to 2009, becoming the first women's program to achieve the feat.
Known for his strong administrative and organizational skills, Waters has overseen the event management at championship events, including the 2009 and 2011 NCAA Indoor Championships, 2009 Big 12 Indoor Championships, and 2003 Southeastern Conference Cross Country Championships.
In cross country, Waters earned the Men's South Central Region Coach of the Year honor in 2008 when Texas A&M won the team title during the region meet and qualified for the NCAA Championships. It was the first time in 18 years that a team defeated powerhouse Arkansas for the region title. Waters has also qualified 16 individuals to the NCAA Cross Country Championships over the past 15 years. The region team title the Aggie men claimed in 2008 was the school's first since 2003 and just the sixth overall. It also marked the first time that a distance coach on Henry's staff has qualified a cross country team to the NCAA Championships.
Waters came to Texas A&M in August 2004 after serving a three-year stint overseeing the distance program at the University of Georgia and five years at Texas Christian in a similar capacity.
During his stay in Athens, Ga., Waters led the Bulldogs men's team to the program's first appearance in the NCAA Cross Country Championships, as well as a team victory at the NCAA South Region Championships. At the conference level, the Georgia men placed second for the highest finish in school history, while the women's team matched its highest finish with a runner-up effort. On the track, Waters' distance runners broke seven school records.
At TCU, Waters helped the Horned Frogs to four Western Athletic Conference team championships - two in indoor track and field, one in outdoor track and field, and one in cross country. The 2000 WAC cross country and indoor track crowns were the first team conference titles in TCU history. During his stay in Fort Worth, the Horned Frogs notched four top-four NCAA finishes and TCU was ranked No. 1 nationally by Trackwire.com in 2001.
Among his athletes at TCU was Khadevis Robinson, who won the 1998 NCAA 800 meter crown. Robinson is a two-time U.S. Champion that competed in the 800 at the 2004 Olympic Games.
Waters began his coaching career as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Texas from 1995-96.
Waters is married to the former Jennifer Miller. He received his bachelor's degree in secondary education from the University of Kansas in 1995. A standout runner for the Jayhawks, Waters was the 1992 Big Eight champion in the 800 meters and ran a leg on KU's All-America indoor 3,200-meter relay in 1991. Elected the Jayhawks' team captain in 1993 and 1995, Waters was an Academic All-American in 1995.

Even though I have many Mormon and ex-Mormon friends, I've never been able to get my head around ex-Mormon syndrome.
If you've lived in Utah more than 10 minutes, you've heard about someone who "resigned" from the church followed by a compulsion to get their name "off the rolls."
The only thing more baffling and annoying than zealous Mormons are zealous ex-Mormons. That resigning from the LDS Church is about the same as writing a letter to Santa Claus to tell Mr. Kringle you don't believe in him anymore seldom gets a laugh from these folks. On the other hand, it must be liberating to blame one's fucked-up personal life solely on one's former religion.
Still, breaking up with the Mormon Church is apparently a gargantuan deal, at least for the 150 ex-Mormons who climbed Ensign Peak Saturday to "declare their independance" from the church.
Besides annoying Mitt Romney by dragging his quirky co-religionists into the spotlight again, that hot, dusty hike didn't seem particularly newsworthy. Could you imagine a headline: "150 Cranky ex-Episcopalians resign en masse?"
I thought it was an interesting call by The Trib not to send a photographer for what could have been a spectacular photo that probably would have bumped the story onto the Yahoo News rotator.
Marco Rubio
Why can't ex-Mormons just followed the lead of potential Mitt running mate and ex-Mormon Marco Rubio? Just walk away.

ZF-3228: Zend_Form::setElementDecorators(): pass an array of elements to exclude / include from decorator setting
I would like to suggest the followin improvement for the Zend_Form::setElementDecorators() method:
It should be possible to pass an array of elements. The passed array of decorators should be set for all of these elements. This should work both for excluding and including these elements. The method could look like this:
public function setElementDecorators(array $decorators, array $elements, $include = true)
Scheduling for next minor release (new functionality).
Added in r10681 to trunk and merged to 1.6 release branch with r10682.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Let S be a finite set of cardinality k. I consider subsets of S that I order by set inclusion. For any given k, this defines the partially ordered set S_k.
To a given partially ordered set P, I associate the smallest k such that P can be embedded in S_k (every element of P is paired with an element of S_k and the order is preserved).
What is this smallest k equal to? How efficiently can it be computed?

Although there's no definitive answer to that question, some of the evidence points in that direction.
A retrospective study led by Adil H. Haider, MD, codirector of the Center for Surgical Trials and Outcomes Research at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, found that women who had suffered traumatic injuries were 14 percent less likely to die after surgery than men with equivalent wounds. Women also experienced fewer complications after their operations. "We're attributing this to differences in hormones," says Haider. Other researchers are investigating whether administering estrogen and progesterone could improve the outcome for burn, brain-injury and cardiac arrest patients of both sexes.
Women are also psychologically strong, and this may be due partly to socialization, says William Helmreich, a sociology professor at City College of New York whose research has shown that women concentration camp survivors coped better than men after the Second World War. "Often it's not what happens to you but how you deal with it that determines whether or not you're going to make it through," Helmreich says. "Assuming that the degree of trauma is roughly the same, I would say that women have more resilience than men because they are allowed to more freely express their emotions."
Even in business, where 71 percent of senior executives in a global survey conducted by Accenture, the management consulting company, cited resilience as a key factor in deciding which employees to retain, managers saw women as slightly more resilient than men in recovering from work setbacks.

Follow the journey of Nitro, a tiger kept in captivity in Kansas. His story starts when the County sheriffs visited the Kansas property and decided to confiscate all big cats from their owner. Lions were sent to Detroit zoo and Nitro and his friend Apache to the Carolina tiger rescue. As Nitro was adjusting to his new home, things went terribly wrong. Fever broke, and lost his sight. With the help of his rescuers, its friend Apache, and a lot of patience and love, blind Nitro was given a whole new way to "see". Nitro became the keepers and visitors favorite. Filled with gorgeous photographs, sidebars, and fun facts, Tiger in Trouble! is sure to captivate all big cats lovers. Kids will learn great tips about these fascinating creatures and how to contribute to their conservation.
Meet Ethereal, one of the rarest bats in the world that was in grave danger. Ethereal, an albino micro bat, was an easy target for predators and in poor condition when rescue workers at Bat World sancturay discovered her. Now, she is completely safe and thriving at the sanctuary. Stories in this books also include: "Susie, Bob, and Caleb: The Three Monkeyteers."
For the past 15 years, award-winning author Kelly Milner Halls has crafted high interest nonfiction books and articles for young readers. Known for quirky but well researched topics, Halls delights in drawing even reluctant readers into the realm of discovery through the explorations of dinosaurs, Sasquatch, UFO's or dozens of other unusual themes. She speaks at schools and conferences all over the country and also works as YA novelist Chris Crutcher's assistant.
Junkyard Jungle
Ten-year-old Nitro paced in his cage. It was the evening of February 21, 2009. The sun was setting quickly. Nitro's owner, Jeffrey Harsh, was late with the tiger's dinner.
Hungry big cats get restless, but Nitro couldn't pace far. His chain-link cage was only 20 feet wide and 30 feet long—one-third the size of a school gym. Nitro was eight feet long. He could only take a few steps. Then he had to turn and walk the other way. Back and forth. Back and forth.
He stepped over bones in the dust. They were left over from earlier meals. He brushed against Apache, the other tiger in his cage. His empty belly grumbled. He growled and roared.
Nitro and Apache were not alone. There were three female lions in other cages nearby. All of these big cats were living at the Prairie Cat Animal Refuge near Oakley, Kansas—and they were all hungry.
A man wandered to the main gate. The cats' eyes locked on him. He opened the gate and slowly came inside.
The man passed piles of junk.
He looked into each animal's cage. Nitro listened, while the other cats studied the stranger.
Then the man walked toward a lioness. He slipped his hand inside the metal bars of her gate.
It was a very bad choice.
To the hungry lion, his arm looked like dinner. Her instinct told her to catch her meal, and she listened. She bit down on the stranger's arm. He screamed and screamed.
Just then Jeffrey drove up with a truck full of meat. He could tell right away things were not right. The entry gate was unlocked and open. Screams were coming from the big cats' cages. Jeffrey jumped out of his truck and ran toward the sound.
Jeffrey saw the stranger. He ran past Nitro, toward the lion cage. Jeffrey grabbed the man and tried to pull him free. But he wasn't as strong as the lion, and she would not let go. He never hit the animals, but he didn't know what else to do. The man was in serious danger.
Jeffrey picked up a metal pipe and swung at the lioness. At last, she opened her jaws, and the frightened man fell back. Jeffrey rushed the stranger to the hospital. As he drove, he called the police on his cell phone.
Nitro would have to wait a little longer for his dinner. His owner was under arrest. He had not protected the stranger from the dangerous big cats.
Until that night, Jeffrey Harsh had broken no laws. Almost half of the states in the U.S. have passed laws to make it illegal to own wild animals like Nitro. Thirteen other states have some rules that say who can keep them and who cannot. The rest of the states have almost no laws at all. There, almost anyone can buy a wild animal.
Kansas is one of the 13 states with some rules. But the rules are not strong enough, said Sheriff Rod Taylor, the officer who arrested Jeffrey. Owners do not even need to take a class to learn how to care for a wild animal. If people like Jeffrey Harsh follow a few rules, they can buy big cats and raise them. And terrible things can happen.
Jeffrey didn't see it that way. He didn't think his big cats would hurt anyone. He thought since his animals were raised in captivity, or in cages, they would not act like wild animals.
"They were born in captivity," he said on his website, "and bottle fed, so they think they are human. They are as gentle and sweet as a house cat." He was wrong.
The judge gave Jeffrey a choice. He could pay fines and spend months in jail, or he could give the big cats to people who knew how to take care of them. Jeffrey decided to give his pets away. The lionesses were headed to the Detroit Zoo. But this zoo didn't need any tigers. No zoo did.
So where would Nitro and Apache go? Sheriff Taylor called animal rescue experts for help. They told him about Carolina Tiger Rescue in North Carolina. Would they agree to take Nitro and Apache? That was the big question.
Kathryn Bertok works at Carolina Tiger Rescue. She takes care of the animals that live there.
"We won't take an animal unless we can take them for the rest of their lives," Kathryn explained. That's because moving a tiger is hard. It is hard for the tiger. It is also hard for the people moving it.
Tigers that are cared for by humans can live to be 20 years old. Nitro and Apache were 10 years old. Tiger Rescue would have to pay the cost of feeding and caring for two tigers for ten more years. Could they afford it?
There was another important question: How much space would Nitro and Apache need? Big cats get sad in small spaces. They pace in a figure-eight pattern. They pant and grumble. They even suck their tails, like a baby human sucks its thumb.
The tiny cage in Kansas was far too small for two full-grown cats. A new home for Nitro and Apache would need to be bigger. Much bigger. It would take a space 37 times as big as their Kansas cage to keep them happy.
Experts at Carolina Tiger Rescue thought long and hard.
At last, they answered yes.

ZF-2330: Promote Zend_Db_Table query enhancements to core for release
Once unit testing for each file of the component reaches 80% LOC coverage and there exists satisfactory DocBook documentation for the APIs, the Zend_Db_Table query enhancements need to be promoted to core (i.e., moved to trunk with unit tests and documentation integrated).
Darby, are there any blockers to resolve before moving this to core?

Ok, from a survival standpoint. If I had to bug out, and head for the hills, probably the two weapons I would end up taking with me would be a Mod 65 S&W and probably my Ruger PC9. The reason being is it is my handiest rifle, and favorite pistol. I have a couple AKs and SKS amoung other bolt guns. But the PC9 doesnt really turns heads and is very versatile.
But what about the ammo! As a reloader, I love cast bullets. Their usually pretty accurate. But lets get some opinions here. One of my favorite loads is a 158g LSWC over 4g of Unique in a 38spl case. Pretty accurate. And I could simple grab one of my .30 cal ammo cans that is filled to the lid with them.
For the 9 mil, I probably would go with factory JHP ammo, because I haven't shot lead in the PC9 before.
What do you guys think. Ample for small game and defense? Or with that combo would you prefer something different?

Ernest and Celestine. Image courtesy of G Kids.
The Sundance Film Festival takes place in a very family-friendly state, but it's not exactly known for films you'll want to show the kids.
In 2014, that changes with the addition of Sundance Kids.
In partnership with the Utah Film Center's Tumbleweeds program, Sundance Kids includes the world premiere of animated film Ernest and Celestine and the US premiere of Zip & Zap and the Marble Gang.
"The addition of Sundance Kids allows us to engage younger audiences around the power of independent film," says Trevor Groth, Director of Programming, in a press release. "We are excited to collaborate with Tumbleweeds and the Utah Film Center in presenting Sundance Kids."
Here are the descriptions we were sent on the Sundance Kids films:
Ernest and Celestine / France, Belgium, Luxembourg (Directors: Benjamin Renner, Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar, Screenwriter: Daniel Pennac) - Unlike her fellow mice, Celestine is an artist and a dreamer. When she nearly ends up as breakfast for a bear named Ernest, the two form an unlikely bond that is quickly challenged by their respective communities. Cast: Forest Whitaker, Mackenzie Foy, Lauren Bacall, Paul Giamatti, William H. Macy, Megan Mullally. Recommended for ages 8+.
Zip & Zap and the Marble Gang / Spain (Director: Oskar Santos, Screenwriters: Francisco Roncal, Jorge Lara, Oskar Santos) - Zip and Zap are punished by being sent to a re-education center. Guided by intelligence, they uncover a mysterious secret hidden deep within the school and end up having the most exciting adventure of their lives. Cast: Javier Gutiérrez, Daniel Cerezo, Raúl Rivas, Claudia Vega, Marcos Ruiz, Fran García. Recommended for ages 9+.
Both films are playing this Sunday at the Salt Lake City Library.
The Tumbleweeds program was launched four years ago with the goal of fostering the next generation of filmmakers and film-goers. Ernest and Celestine is nominated for an Oscar. Check back for our review, along with an interview with director Benjamin Renner.

When I was in college, I purchased a big plastic bag of beautiful blue yarn--good quality cotton--and set about making a sweater. I was adapting a pattern for a man's sweater, using the wrong size needles, the wrong size gage, but I was patient. I adapted. I liked the process of knitting, the feeling of working with pure color--that gorgeous blue.
I was living in a trailer about a mile off campus. I had two crazy-fun roommates whom I'm still close to. One, Becky, pointed out the instructions on my knitting pattern: Sleeves (make two). She was pointing this out for two reasons. First, because this particular instruction seems to be pretty innane. Unnecessary. Of course it's two sleeves.
But then, when she pointed this out to me, I'd made three or four.
I was struggling to get the size right. The increases right. The shaping. The length. Making all the necessary adaptations: men's sweater pattern, wrong size yarn, wrong size needles.
Today, I'm struggling again. Writing this stupid novel of mine. Wonderfully, maddeningly, precariously complicated. Too complicated. I've come to chapter ten, somewhere near the middle of the story.
But, something's wrong. I only need one chapter ten, and yet I've written a half-dozen. I can't get the shape right, the gage. The feel.
I've been remembering my old knitting days, how it took me a number of sleeves to get the right two sleeves made. That it's not supposed to be as easy as sleeves: make two. That you have to over-write, then slash, then start over, then despair, then grow giddy, hopeful, then avoid it all together. Steer clear of any substantial writing time altogether.
Hemingway tells us, "For a true writer each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment."
But what if the story is truly is beyond attainment? What if I write a half-dozen more chapter tens and they all suck?
What about chapter eleven? Will I ever be able to face chapter eleven?
What if the book went off track in chapter two and I'm too stupid or too invested to see it?
I've made sweaters I've never worn. Misshapen, ugly things no one could love.
The irony is that I know the uncertainty is part of it. That the uncertainty is as positive a sign as I'm going to find.
That uncertainty in writing fiction is the only certainty we have.
Unravel. Rework the yarn. Re-cast on the stitches. Freshen my coffee. Start again.
(I can do this, right?)

Oh, Cathy, I'm so glad!! Thank you. xoxo (PS. Please do send me your memoir! Very excited to read it!!)
Sheryl, thank you. I'm afraid the analogy wouldn't work at all if I was a more precise knitter...there's no reason for anyone to make a pile of sleeves. Oh well...

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsOctober 2, 2013
What can you do to help ensure the success of your career fairs?
Your colleagues share some of their best practices:
"Lebanon Valley College is involved in the planning and
implementation of several consortium career fairs that take place
off campus," explains Gwen Miller, associate director of the office
of career services. "The discipline-specific days are in addition
to those and are an answer to limited space, demand, or interest
from students and employers, and support from faculty."
Each discipline-specific day is done in close collaboration with
faculty members so they can help career services promote the events
in their classes, support event prep sessions, provide career
services with new contacts for invitations, and more.
"We discuss [with faculty] the need for the event, combine our
lists of employers and contacts, and then have their input on the
invitations and approximate time of year for the event," Miller
notes. "It's much more effective for our office to run with it when
we know that there is already buy-in. We also want them to come.
Our faculty members enjoy attending the event to welcome employers
and encourage students who have last-minute jitters.That's so
helpful to us, and meaningful to employers and students."
Career services also contacts student groups for support in
promoting and helping the day of the events.
"We try to have students involved in making each event a success
by asking for volunteers to help greet employers, unload their
materials, and get them settled at their tables," Miller says.
"It's a great way to help students interact with employers
professionally, before the event starts."
Another key component to the success of the events is planning
them far in advance.
Says Miller: "I'm already looking at my calendar for next
year. We try to stay consistent with the time of year, time
of event, and more, and send 'save the date' notices far in advance
so that it's on everyone's calendar. It's the attention to detail
and a customer-service attitude that we take toward employers that
make these days a success."
"Most importantly, the aisle hosts were able to guide students
who needed help and connect them with the employers that best fit
their interests," explains Sheri Ispir, director of experiential
education and career services. "We identified [the aisle hosts]
with stickers, so it was low cost and a big return in terms of
employer satisfaction."
The career services office also uses stickers to help employers
identify "graduating students" and "internship students," which
helps employers and students connect more easily, and holds
pre-fair tours for international students.
"We invite our international students to come 45 minutes before
the expo floor opens and a staff member escorts the group through
the aisle giving tips on how to navigate the event, as well as
answering questions about specific employers," Ispir says. "This
gives our international students more confidence and know-how on
leveraging this networking opportunity."

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CATherine GORGEOUS Place Mat Design Exactly as they appear in the photo online. These most beautiful place mats look so lovely when paired with both the persimmon place mats & napkins I'd purchased here at the same time. Was so excited when they arrived, that I raced down to Mary's house to show her my great purchase. She immediately asked: "Where'd you get these - I LOVE them! " You can't do any better with a purchase of these classy mats unless you can find the identical design in a material that does NOT need to be ironed! September 18, 2013

Reviews for Pasta Meatball Soup
"This is a great soup! Easily converts to a slow cooker recipe, too; just add cooked pasta directly before serving. I tweak it by adding my own spices and a little hot sauce, but don't we all? Its also a forgiving recipe; replace veggies with what you have in your freezer or fridge."
"LOVE this soup. I left out the pasta and froze it in small containers. As I ate the soup, I would cook a little pasta and add to the hot soup. It is a hit every time I make it."
"Made this last time I travelled to GA to see my grandchildren and it was a huge success. I am down here visiting again and one of the first things I was asked was if I was going to make the meatball soup again. Needless to say, it is definitely a keeper!"
"This recipe is fabulous!! Found it 2 weeks ago and this is my 2nd time making it already! The kids love it! You can tweak it to what you have in your pantry and add seasonings to your tastes as well. Thank you for a wonderful recipe! This is a keeper!!"
"I Just made this today and it was so good. I didn't measure the ingredients, just guessed at a half portion and used frozen peas and carrots and frozen corn for the veggies. I used pinto beans because I was out of kidney beans. The meatballs added such a great flavor to the soup. I probably added more pasta and meatballs than called for."

'Seeds of Change' is a floating garden; the result of a collaboration between the designer Gitta Gschwendtner and the artist Maria Thereza Alves. The title 'Seeds of Change' stems from an ongoing ballast seed garden project from Brazillian artist Maria Thereza Alves. Between 1680 and the early 1900's ships' ballast – earth, stones and gravel from trade boats from all over the world used to weigh down the vessel as it docked- was offloaded into the river at Bristol. This ballast contained the seeds of plants from wherever the ship had sailed.
