2013 is the centennial celebration of US soccer...and, with that in mind, how about we list our top 5 favorite & fondest memories (WCQ, WC, USMNT games attended, etc.) & I'll start:
1) US 2-0 Mexico (WC Round of 16 - 06/17/02)
2) US 2-0 Mexico (WCQ - La Guerra Fria 02/28/01)
3) US 2-0 Mexico (WCQ - Columbus, Ohio 09/03/05)
4) US 3-0 Costa Rica (WCQ - Salt Lake City 06/04/05)
5, tie) US 2-0 Spain (Confederations Cup 06/24/09) & US 1-0 Algeria (WC Group Stage 06/23/10)
Bold = Games attended
Didn't include most important dates in the last 100 years, since I've only been a USA soccer fanatic since 2000 but, if anybody would like to list the most important dates in US soccer, please feel free. My top 3 would be:
1) US 1-0 England (1950 WC)
2) US 1-0 Trinidad & Tobago (1990 WCQ)
3) US 2-0 Mexico (2002 WC)
Happy Centennial, US Soccer!

Good choices all around af10. That 1989 US win in Trinidad thanks to Paul Caligiuri's goal may be the most important one in history in my mind. That win is what brought the US out of the wilderness and brought the sport back to national attention.

I'd echo Yogi's thoughts about the importance of the 1989 win in T&T. As old as I'm getting, I wasn't around for the 1950 upset of England. Although that game was memorialized in a movie, it didn't have a lasting impact on soccer in this country, but it did contribute to keeping the game alive here. I might also add in the recent friendly win over Mexico in Azteca, a first.

A game which will always stay with me is a loss. The loss to Germany in WC02. A game which we deserved better than the outcome we received. What a well fought game in which, after the final whistle, every person there and every person watching knew Germany escaped with that one.
The Mexico game the round before was obviously massive. I think the Portugal game, for the sheer jaw-dropping shock value of a 3-0 lead, is pretty under appreciated as well.
The victory over Spain in the Confed Cup was great.
I was 8 or so for "the shot heard around the world" but I can appreciate the importance of it as the US hasn't missed a World Cup since and, despite ups and downs, has been a player in world soccer in some way since then.
Aside from an individual game...I think a lot could be said about the decision to put the World Cup in the US in 94 and the massive success it turned out to be is a topic in its own right.

Difficult to add much to what you guys have already noted.
I will always remember getting up in the middle of the night and being shocked along with the rest of the world to see our under rated boys bomb Portugal, one of the top favorites going into that WC.
But the Mexico win and the Germany loss, the latter a real miscarriage of justice, are the top highlights of US soccer in my fan-lifetime.
I've been to Columbus multiple times, Salt Lake City, and to great Gold cup wins in Pasadena and elsewhere, but that 2002 WC run was a cut above them all, and arguably the highest point ever for US soccer to date.
Biggest let down to me was traveling to Germany for that wonderfully staged World Cup only to have our team underperform and bow out in group play, even though they did have a tremendous game against Italy. It was a devastating step back in US soccer in my mind, and at a time when I was so hopeful the US would take another step up in their level of play and in the rest of the soccer-world's eyes.

A fascinating story on a game I bet few of us remember, the US win in 1981 over Mexico in Ft Lauderdale in World Cup qualifying, unfortunately by that time the US was already eliminated from group play, with Canada and Mexico advancing, but it was still an improbable win back from another time when the US national team was a mere afterthought.

Great article, I do remember that game, of course I read a blip about it the following day in the St Louis Post Dispatch then had to wait 2 weeks or more for Soccer America to arrive and describe the game in more detail.
It is good to read about some names from the past like Steve Moyers but I do not miss those days when soccer and especially the national team were, as Sammy correctly describes, a mere afterthought.

Thanks, Sammy. A trip down memory lane.
Like Yogi, I remember reading about it but obviously didn't get to see it ... and I guess few have since. I clearly remember many of those old NASL names. I particularly was a big Steve Moyers fan. And, I remember the tragic, too-young death of the promising Njego Pesa. I can still ID some of the players from the team photo. God, I'm old.
However, I do think the author over-states the impact of that game in terms of the development of the national team and the rivalry with Mexico. It was an after-thought, a meaningless game in terms of qualifying and quickly forgotten.
At that point in the history of the NASL, Americans were still getting sparse playing time. Qualifying for the 1986 World Cup would have been a more realistic goal. However, the league folded in 1983 and that retarded the development of those Americans who played in that game in Ft. Lauderdale.

A match I will never forget was one of my earliest caps, the 2-0 win over England in Foxboro in 1993. Goals by Dooley and Lalas, Meola's finest ever Nats performance, and a large group of English fans behind us chanting "We may never win again!" after the final whistle.

My first US national team game: 1984 at the Los Angeles Coliseum, the US beat Colombia 1-0 with a goal by Ade Coker. Also playing for the US back then were Ricky Davis, Jean Willrich, Jacques Ladouceur, Hayden Knight and my college classmate Jeff Hooker.

My first US Soccer game was actually an Olympic game. 1996. Birmingham, against Argentina. US scored 29 seconds into the game and lost 3-1.
The team consisted of Keller, Pope, Lalas, Kirovski, Reyna, Heyduk among others. I did not realize it until just now but Arena was the coach then.

My first US game, the same year as Martin's, 1984 but it was a World Cup qualifier in a stadium which does not exist anymore (old Busch Stadium) against a country which does not exist anymore (Netherlands Antilles!)
Oh, the US won 4-0.

Thanks for that article Sammy. It was fascinating read from an era that seems not that long ago (in some ways 1980 doesn't seem forever ago, in other ways it feels like a completely different time), but in a soccer sense is light years from what things are like now.
I agree with Shel that the author maybe overstates what that game meant (surely the 1991 win at the Gold Cup kind of got things going to a real degree), but it's a game I had never even heard about until now.
They say the secret of life is finding moments of levity and grace in what is, ultimately, a tragedy. Watching Canadian soccer is good practice for this.

For me the 1991 Gold Cup, the US' first real competition under Bora, is for me the start of the modern era for US soccer, when it started to become relevant in this country.

Include me with those thinking the 1991 Gold Cup is what really started the modernization of the sport in the US. Yes the 1990 World Cup is another noted era but that team barely qualified out of CONCACAF then was completely outclassed at Italia 90. But a year later, Bora had organized the US into a more competitive team and one which won the inaugural Gold Cup. That is when the US national team started to take on some significance.

The Odyssey

The Odyssey Suffering Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Line)
Quote #22
(Penelope:) 'How I wish chaste Artemis would give me a death so soft, and now, so I would not go on in my heart grieving all my life, and longing for love of a husband excellent in every virtue, since he stood out among the Achaians.' (18.202-205)
You have to admit, it'd be pretty hard to resign yourself to remarrying if your first husband was the godlike Odysseus.
Quote #23
He spoke, and the black cloud of sorrow closed on Laertes. In both hands he caught up the grimy dust and poured it over his face and grizzled head, groaning incessantly. The spirit rose up in Odysseus, and now in his nostrils there was a shock of bitter force as he looked on his father. He sprang to him and embraced and kissed and then said to him: 'Father, I am he, the man you ask about.' (24.315-321)
Proper burial was super important to the Ancient Greeks including ritualized hair-tearing and dust-bathing. It may seem over the top to us, but Laertes's grief just helps us see what a good dad he is.

Grand Theft Auto V
More information

PlayStation 3
Product overview
Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets, and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV.
Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
The biggest, most dynamic and most diverse open world ever created, Grand Theft Auto V blends storytelling and gameplay in new ways as players repeatedly jump in and out of the lives of the game's three lead characters, playing all sides of the game's interwoven story.
All the classic hallmarks of the groundbreaking series return, including incredible attention to detail and Grand Theft Auto's darkly humorous take on modern culture, alongside a brand new and ambitious approach to open world multiplayer.
Key Game Features:
Los Santos and Blaine County
The largest open world yet in a Grand Theft Auto title, spanning vastly diverse cultural and geographical areas - the entire world of Grand Theft Auto V is open from the very beginning of the game to explore. Visitors to the greater metropolis of Los Santos and the countryside of Blaine County will encounter faded celebrities, party people, hikers, bikers, and every other manner of colorful denizen. You'll be able to traverse everywhere from the tops of the mountains, through the streets of Los Santos and to the depths of the ocean floor.
Michael, Franklin and Trevor
Three playable protagonists - Michael, Franklin, and Trevor may live in different parts of town, have their own issues, attitudes, lifestyles, desires and goals - but they do know how to work together. They also each have their own unique skillsets to bring to the table when it's time to get the job done.
Petty crimes, hustling, and stealing cars can only get you so far in Los Santos. To score big, Michael, Franklin and Trevor will work together to pull off grand Heists - big, multi-part missions that require careful preparation, recruiting, and precise (and often explosive) execution. Cash is king in GTAV and while there will be plenty of ways to acquire and spend it - heists are the way to earn the big bucks.
'Recreational' Activity
The open world of Grand Theft Auto V is not just massive in scale, but will offer more to get into than ever before. For recreation, play a bit of golf or tennis, zen out with some yoga or cycle through the countryside. For adrenaline heads, parachute over the city, or customize your Cheetah and take it to the streets to race suckers for money. Or earn cash the old fashioned way, by taking it - whether by ripping off liquor stores or by buying and taking over businesses that will earn you dividends. Even minding your own business having a stroll you may meet one of Los Santos' weirdos or starlets and find yourself off on a wild misadventure you never expected.

A huge accomplishment in video gaming
Posted by Alex R 17/05/2014 at 11:19:39 AM
When I first saw trailers and information about this game I didn't think much of it, that's until i saw the gameplay footage which made my view changed COMPLETELY. That's when I started learning more and more about the characters and elements of the game and I started to become extremly excited, I have never been as hyped up for a video before like GTA 5. This game exceeded all expectations, The gameplay (Driving, Combat, etc.) is superb,the graphics and visuals are amazing, the open world action is amazing and full of things to do. The storyline and characters are much better than i thought, Michael will always be my favourite but I liked Trevor and Franklin ALOT more than I thought I would. I haven't experienced any issues with this game that haven't been fixed and overall i give this game 5 stars out of 5. There is many, many more things i could talk about when it comes to the content in this game but there is just too much. GREAT WORK ROCKSTAR
Don't buy GTA5 full of cheaters
Posted by chris d 7/10/2015 at 12:26:55 AM
So far from playing GTA5 I've had people put items over my head take my guns away from me explode me out of nothing and this is done with mods I've played on ps3,xbox360,pc and its all the same if you're thinking of buying GTAV for PC, Xbox 360, don't you're wasting your money. And R* dont do nothing to stop them as long as they're making cash.

This game is amazing definitely the best game ever (for adults), so detailed and just completely awesome BUT do not buy this for your kids. No kids should see what goes on in that game and have the sound down when kids are around. We don't want them learning those words.

i have sunk so many hours into this game that it cant be counted in hours anymore BUT that doesn't stop it being kinda meh its getting a 4/5 due to the story not being that great, one of the main three characters being irritating after a few hours and the absolute fail that was gta online its fine now but wow it was just such a fail
Great Game

Overrated but alight

Customer testimonials say it best! No one speaks to the quality and value of our services better than our customers. Read our customer reviews below…
In Their Own Words…
"Alpha Veterans Disability is a credit to the veteran, especially Ms. Nancy Lavranchuk in my case. Alpha Advocates are knowledgeable of the process to help the veteran. Alpha gave me confidence after dealing with the VA on my own for many years. My outcome was favorable and they keep on supporting veterans in future dealings with the VA. I highly recommend Alpha to any veteran." – Antonio – 10/15
"I would recommend Alpha Disability to all my fellow brethren. My representative was Nancy Lavranchuk. She was very helpful in getting me 100% disability and I started out at 30%. She was very helpful and always called me back when I would ask her for things that I didn't understand. It did take a year to receive my award, but it was worth it. Thank you for a job that was cared about." – Simuel – 5/15
"Dear Ryan…..I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your superb help in assisting me through the VA Disability process. You helped me navigate some uncharted waters with a positive outcome. No detail was too small, no question too insignificant. It meant a lot to me to know that I could pick up the phone and call you at any time and my questions and concerns would be addressed. And, the regular contact you provided me with updates and information was so helpful. I never had to wonder if I was doing everything that needed to be done, you just saw to it………The folks at Alpha are great and you're one of the best advocates I could have had. I am forever in your debt. If there's ever anything I can do for you, please let me know. I would definitely recommend Alpha to all other veterans in my situation." – Myron 10/14
"After struggling for 3 1/2 years with Veteran Affairs procedures and even utilizing the DAV to help mitigate my disability compensation claims, I was frustrated and wanted to give up. After weeks of searching the internet and reading customer reviews, I came upon Alpha Disability. After speaking with Ryan of Alpha, I was strongly encouraged by his emotional and intense energy that he placed on my claims. He was truly engaging and spot on with the procedures. I was a little skeptical about being burned out by the VA and DAV but thought, like I said, he was an uplifting spirit. Long story short, in a few short months, my issues were resolved in my favor. We veterans don't lie, we just want someone to help validate and document all claims; something that I could not get the VA or DAV to help me with. Ryan did that and more and I will never forget him. Ryan…..is a good man which is rare in today's work world." – David 11/15
"Alpha has to be the finest company helping vets get what they fought and served for." – George 03/13
"Mr. Vaughn, As per our conversation 22MAR13, I would like to greatly thank you and your organization for helping me to get the compensation that my family and I feel that we deserve.

"Rurre & the amazonian rain forest" Top 5 Page for this destination Rurrenabaque by Yso
Rurrenabaque Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 125 photos
Rurrenabaque is one of the easiest places to get to the jungle in Bolivia. It is becoming quite touristic with lots and lots of travel agencies that are opening up. The main things to do are to travel to the jungle, but also to visit the pampas (wetlands) since Rurre is conveniently situated between the two
The major inconvenience of Rurre is that it is a very long way from anywhere. In order to get there from La Paz you have two options : bus or plane. We took the bus to go to Rurre and I would not recommend it to anyone ! You can look forwards to 18 hours of extreme discomfort (seats are a plank with plastic on them, more or less), overnight on unpaved and occasionally washed out roads. Possibly the worst experience of my life
Please check out the tips for Rurre to find out the other do's and don'ts for this town. The "eco" tourism leaves something to be desired and you need to be very aware of what is going on.
- Pros:See the rainforest cheaply
- Cons:Watch out for the "eco" tourism companies

Why is it that nearly all of America's mass murders are men, when women have just as easy access to firearms? Why are boys more likely to be bullied? To have learning issues? To drop out of school? To commit suicide? Those are just a few of the questions posed by The Mask You Live In, the latest documentary on gender in America by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, whose last film, Miss Representation, explored how women are under-represented in positions of power.
Day 6 @ MSPIFF 2015: 'Finding Gastón' Reviewed
Saying that a documentary about a world-renowned chef could make your mouth water isn't really impressive. But if a film could make you a fan of a country, a people, a cuisine, that's something more powerful. Julia Patricia Perez's Finding Gaston introduces the audience to one of Peru's greatest cultural ambassadors, Gaston Acurio. The man, who appears at length in the film, is a bastion for every pepper, sauce and recipe native to his homeland, and he goes to incredible lengths to fortify the small Latin American nation as a haven for culinary treasures.
Day 5 @ MSPIFF 2015: 'Amour Fou' Reviewed
Writer/director Jessica Hausner's latest work is weirdly captivating. The visual style, with people standing stiff as paintings and stoic Weimaraner dogs seemingly everywhere, sets it apart from so many movies these days while simultaneously cementing the movie in the historical frame of German Romanticism.
Review: 'The Longest Ride' Isn't What It Claims To Be
The best thing about The Longest Ride, the latest film adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks tear-jerker novel, is the bullriding. The slow-motion shots, with the animal's legs kicking and snot slinging into the air, capture the ride as an act of grace. An entire documentary focused on the sport could be carried by the power and beauty of such images. The same, however, can't be said for "The Longest Ride," which tries to mash two quite different loves stories together and ends up a messy, pointless excuse to see a glimpse of Scott Eastwood's ass.
Day 2 @ MSPIFF 2015: 'Victoria' Reviewed
It's probably near impossible to see Sebastian Schipper's Victoria and not be impressed. The entire 140-minute film is captured in one continuous shot by the incredibly athletic camerawork of Sturla Brandth Grøvlen, and never does the movie drag its feet, lose its momentum or devolve into a swirling, jittery mess. Instead, "Victoria" has a gorgeous, liquid quality. At one moment, it' a carefree romp through nocturnal Berlin, and then it changes, right before your eyes, into a heart-pounding thriller, all gunshots and getaways.

How To Cure Your Bedroom Problem
Pelvic musclesEver notice the tension you feel in your body? Men are less likely to find ways to release pelvic tension. Often, men are engaged in actions and behaviors throughout their lives and during sex that reinforce muscular tension. During sex, if you're holding your breath, flexing your abs and muscles, or supporting your weight in certain sexual positions (missionary), you're creating muscle tension that increases the potential for premature ejaculation.
The classic example is men who tighten their muscles as they push out their erection to feel and appear larger to their partner. Since orgasm is muscular contractions that release muscular tension, it'd be wise for us to work on our muscle tension levels. Activities like yoga, stretching, anxiety reduction skills, and working out are all ways to decrease the tension in your pelvic and abdominal regions outside of the bedroom.
I also recommend you allow your partner (or masseuse) to give you a full body massage. Be mindful of the performance anxiety you experience and the tension release you feel as they touch your stomach, your thighs, your buttocks, and other areas of your body. It's not about genital stimulation; it's about managing the discomfort we may feel with our bodies, being touched and feeling exposed. Men that are comfortable with their body image and with being touched often have lower ratings of sexual anxiety.
Another important technique to lasting longer is doing Kegel exercises. If you haven't tried them, what are you waiting for? There's no better method to strengthen your pelvic region and to create strong pubococcygeus muscles. One of the reasons Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are two of the great quarterbacks in the NFL is because they spend thousands of hours watching game films to prepare for the game. What are you doing to prepare for sex? You can't expect greatness if you don't put in the time.

Adrien Broner Hints at September 6th Ring Return
By Edward Chaykovsky
Contrary to rumors of appearing against multiple opponents on the undercard for a proposed rematch between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Marcos Maidana on September 13th, former three division champion Adrien Broner (28-1, 22KOs) took to the social networks to drop a hint that he might return on September 6th, which is one week prior to the likely Mayweather-Maidana PPV rematch.
"After a long day of hard work a hot bubble bath is needed #September 6 #The Return Of Adrien Broner"
Broner, who fought at welterweight during 2013, returned in May as a junior welter as part of the Mayweather-Maidana undercard at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and won a decision over 140-pounder Carlos Molina. Broner had a jumped from 135 to 147 and lost a decision last December to Marcos Maidana. Following the defeat, he made a decision to drop down in weight.

For obscure reasons, the tractor did not get shipped. Many phone calls later, I was told it had shipped but in january, I realized it was still in the dealer's yard. After many more phone calls, ( february) I was assured the shipping took place.
Then a few weeks later, I called again , the tractor " fell off" the crate, (these are the words used by the salesman) and is now sitting in a werehouse somewhere in Missouri.
During all this time, I was never given a tracking number or the name of the shipping company. I had no way of knowing the exact location of the tractor and its condition. But they still told me they were working on the problem and I was assured that my order would come.
One more month went by and nothing happened. Then mid-march, I decided to cancel that order and to request a refund. But since then, all my phone calls have been ignored. The person in charge of internet sales is never available and they dont respond to my letters either.

Typical Day
At 12:00PM, Preston Presto finally rolls out of bed. He's thankful to finally make magic full-time, but he's still getting used to the late nights—he's lucky to leave the bar or nightclub before 2:00AM. Last night, it took even longer because he had to wait around for the nightclub to pay him after his sold-out performance. "Jerks," Preston thinks to himself as he looks over to his alarm clock.
He stumbles over to his coffee machine, hopscotching around the magic books, cards, handkerchiefs, and props that are covering the floor of his apartment.
The doorbell rings just as the coffee finishes brewing, so Preston has to again avoid the debris and paraphernalia as he makes his way to the door. He opens it to discover something only a magician would find delightful: his straitjacket has arrived in the mail.
Preston's so excited at the arrival that he's already reading the instructions before he makes it upstairs to his room. As a trick popularized by Houdini, Preston thinks it'll be perfect for his retro-themed magic performance.
His persona, "Scary Martini," incorporates old vaudeville magician routines, shock magic, and old-school escape tricks. "Hmm, now I see how they do it," he says out loud. As soon as those words leave his mouth, his roommate pokes his head in the room.
"Nice straitjacket," Barry says. "How does it work?"
Preston gives Barry an unfriendly look and shuts his door. Preston is tight-lipped about his routine. Barry should know better; a real magician never reveals his secrets.
At 2:00PM, Preston gets an email from his agent—no subject line, just a single command: "Call me now."
He dials up his agent and finds out there's an unexpected show opportunity. "Yeah, I can perform in Reno. How much is the pay? Ouch. What about a room? Great, so if they throw in a few meals and some taxi fare, we've got a deal."
Preston has had this agent for a little over a year now. After three years of frequenting smoky nightclubs, bars, theaters, and small concert venues, he's finally established enough of a following to have an agent book his gigs.
Also, his website traffic and merchandise sales have skyrocketed since he opened for a famous shock magician—"Sir Robin of Shocksley." Not the best stage name and, frankly, not the best show either.
At 3:00PM, Preston begins his preparations for the night's show. He makes an inventory of all of the props he needs to load into the truck. Everything must be checked to ensure that it properly functions on stage.
One time, Preston got stuck while performing a disappearing closet trick. He was so embarrassed he wished he could actually make himself disappear. Fortunately, most of the audience had already gone home by the time the fire department got him out of there.
After taking inventory, Preston practices the new coin trick he's inserting into the routine. Magicians practice magic several hours a day to perfect their patter with the audience, their stage presence, and the tricks themselves.
Sometimes magicians will invite a couple of friends over to perform a free show in order to ensure that their sleight of hand isn't obvious to audience members. Unfortunately all of Preston's friends have real jobs, so he uses a mirror to make sure he's not giving anything away.
After spending some time updating his website and making a Hot Pocket appear and disappear, Preston gets dressed at 7:30PM. Being a professional magician isn't as glamorous or mysterious as it's cracked up to be, but he still dresses like the classiest person in the room.
Preston arrives at the club at 8:00PM. Some of his followers are filling up the first few rows of seats, and Preston makes a mental note to say hi to them after the show. He needs to develop a substantial following in order for larger venues to book him, and that means maintaining decent relationships with the people who actually make an effort. He didn't think making magic would involve so much glad-handing, but that's how it is in show business.
The lights dim at 8:30PM as Preston takes his place on stage. Part of what attracted him to this career was the exciting anticipation before each show. His music starts up and he's enveloped by the smoke rolling out of his fog machine. He thinks the same thing he always thinks as the smoke billows up in his face: surely they could make that stuff smell a whole lot better.
Smelly or not, the smoke creates a mysterious atmosphere and hides some of what Preston intends to keep from the audience. Once it clears, he performs a card trick to get the ball rolling.
Audience participation helps establish a bond that keeps them interested in his performance. He sees a cute girl in the audience and asks her to come help with the trick. He doesn't like to single out the prettiest girl in the room all the time, but, frankly, it usually keeps the crowd more interested.
Preston asks the girl to pick a card out of the deck to show to the audience. When she slips the card back into the deck, he'll guess her card. It's a simple trick. Preston adds his own twist by lifting up his hat and revealing the card. He then takes the entire deck and blows on it, which causes the cards to burst into flames.
The audience oohs and ahhs and starts cheering wildly. Fire always gets 'em. The rest of his performance goes off without a hitch.
At 10:00PM, Preston patiently waits to get paid after the show has ended. He's thankful it isn't going to be as late as last night, but it's important he waits for what he's earned. They can mail him a check later, but that involves a whole lot more waiting than the extra twenty minutes it'll take to get paid now. He isn't doing all this just for the love of magic—he has to eat, too.
While loading up his truck, he hears a voice behind him. He turns around and sees an audience member approaching.
"Hey, your show was amazing!" she says. "How did you do that sword swallowing trick? It was unbelievable. I'll never get that out of my head."
Preston gives her his characteristic magician's smile 'n' wink—the one that says "wouldn't you like to know?"—and thanks her for coming. Despite the late nights and difficult road to fame, Preston wouldn't give up magic for anything. Even if his throat is feeling a little raw after downing that scimitar.

KCl crystallization within the space between carbon nanotube walls.
Chemical Physics Letters
, 317
pp. 77-82.
The are discharge method has been used hitherto to encapsulate metal-containing structures within carbon nanotubes [1,2], the arrangement of the nanotube walls playing an important role in the process. We show that KCl can be generated in the space between nanotube walls by treating potassium-intercalated uncapped tubes with CCl4. A relationship between the KCl crystal domain and the hexagonal carbon network is thought to give rise to preferential formation of a 100 plane perpendicular to the tube axes.

SC tuner 3865 HELP!!!
I have a 07 ram hemi .I got the sc tuner 3865 used it's unlocked I up dated it it said it has the advanced trans tune. I have no idea how to use it lolI have it set on the performance. Does the tuner have a trans shift from sc already to go? Or will I have to do my own? Thanks in advance
I haven't updated mine, I don't like I have the advanced tunes. But there are Superchips canned trans tunes or you can do your own. I had a site with custom schedules on it, but I can't remember it.
I'm worthless, I know.
Maybe someone more helpful will chime in. Also, Superchips has excellent customer service if you call them they are extremely helpful
Gonefishing any info is great because i'm worthless. I need to learn so much just afraid of screwing something up
You can also check out the superchips forums.
But yes there is a "superchips" shift schedule you can select, or you can make your own. I think you are the guy that posted in the other thread about this, which I just replied to.
Yes that would be me lol. I'm terrible when it comes to tech stuff

Excellent place! Wendi is very friendly and made me feel welcome, very easy to talk to and great attention to detail. I had the Brazilian Blow Dry Keratin Treatment which was done very, very well! Wendi fit me in knowing I was off on holiday in a few days and knew a lot of information about the treatment and it was all done really well.
Would definitely go back and recommend to anyone. Thanks again, Wendi!

H-1B Visa Program:
Multifaceted Challenges Warrant Re-examination of Key Provisions
GAO-11-505T: Published: Mar 31, 2011. Publicly Released: Mar 31, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7252
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony comments on the H-1B program. Congress created the current H-1B program in 1990 to enable U.S. employers to hire temporary, foreign workers in specialty occupations. The law capped the number of H-1B visas issued per fiscal year at 65,000, although the cap has fluctuated over time with legislative changes. The H-1B cap and the program itself have been a subject of continued controversy. Proponents of the program argue that it allows companies to fill important and growing gaps in the supply of U.S. workers, especially in the science and technology fields. Opponents of the program argue that there is no skill shortage and that the H-1B program displaces U.S. workers and undercuts their pay. Others argue that the eligibility criteria for the H-1B visa should be revised to better target foreign nationals whose skills are undersupplied in the domestic workforce. Our comments in this statement for the record are based on the results of our recent examination of the H-1B program, highlighting the key challenges it presents for H-1B employers, H-1B and U.S. workers, and federal agencies. Specifically, this statement presents information on (1) employer demand for H-1B workers; (2) how the H-1B cap impacts employers' costs and whether they move operations overseas; (3) the government's ability to track the cap and H-1B workers over time; and (4) how well the provisions of the H-1B program protect U.S. workers.
From 2000 to 2009, the demand for new H-1B workers tended to exceed the cap, as measured by the numbers of initial petitions submitted by employers who are subject to the cap. While the majority (68 percent) of employers was approved for one H-1B worker, demand was driven to a great extent by a small number (fewer than 1 percent) of H-1B employers garnering over one quarter of all H-1B approvals. Cap-exempt employers, such as universities and research institutions, submitted over 14 percent of the initial petitions filed during this period. Most of the 34 H-1B employers GAO interviewed reported that the H-1B program and cap created additional costs for them, such as delays in hiring and projects, but said the global marketplace and access to skilled labor--not the cap--drive their decisions on whether to move activities overseas. Limitations in agency data and systems hinder tracking the cap and H-1B workers over time. For example, data systems among the various agencies that process these individuals are not linked so it is difficult to track H-1B workers as they move through the immigration system. System limitations also prevent the Department of Homeland Security from knowing precisely when and whether the annual cap has been reached each year. Provisions of the H-1B program that could serve to protect U.S. workers--such as the requirement to pay prevailing wages, the visa's temporary status, and the cap itself--are weakened by several factors. First, program oversight is fragmented between four agencies and restricted by law. Second, the H-1B program lacks a legal provision for holding employers accountable to program requirements when they obtain H-1B workers through a staffing company--a company that contracts out H-1B workers to other companies. Third, statutory changes made to the H-1B program over time--i.e. that broadened job and skill categories for H-1B eligibility, increased exceptions to the cap, and allowed unlimited H-1B visa extensions while holders applied for permanent residency--have in effect increased the pool of H-1B workers beyond the cap and lowered the bar for eligibility.

The new Angry Birds Star Wars app comes to life with a new line of toys and games from Hasbro. Players take on Darth Vader and his porky pals in the Jenga Death Star Game. Take turns trying to topple the Empire by loading the X-Wing Fighter launcher with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca birds. The object of this game, much like the app, is to launch the birds to knock down pigs and score the most points. Follow the instructions to assemble the Death Star using the numbered set-up card and Jenga blocks. The first player rolls the die to determine how many shots he can take and which birds to use. Once the first player has taken all of his shots, it's the next player's turn. Keep alternating turns until the Death Star is destroyed. Add up your score after each turn. Each of the four Stormtrooper pigs is worth 1,000 points. Darth Vader pig is worth 3,000 points. Complete destruction of the Death Star is worth 5,000 points. And any unlaunched birds after the Death Star is destroyed are worth 1,000 points each. The player with the most points after the Death Star is destroyed wins.
The Jenga Death Star Game comes with a Death Star frame, Luke Skywalker bird, Han Solo bird, exclusive Chewbacca bird, Darth Vader pig, four Stormtrooper pigs, an X-Wing Fighter launcher, 31 Jenga blocks, a lock block, a base, a die, and a label sheet for the die. The game is for one to two players.
If you're familiar with the game Jenga, you'll realize that the Jenga Death Star Game doesn't really have anything to do with classic Jenga, other than the fact that things fall down. But it does mimic the gameplay in the Angry Birds Star Wars app. It interprets the app in a way that works as a real world skill-and-action game. Kids will like the build-it-knock-it-down competition, although it's also a lot of fun to build and launch solo.
The Angry Birds Star Wars Jenga Death Star Game is for ages 8 and up.
The game includes an exclusive code to unlock in-app content. Purchase of the Angry Birds Star Wars app is required.

They are the nicest people in the world to you before they get what they want and they seem very genuine, i understand why people fall for their scam, but as soon as they get your bank account details then it all goes down hill. They will not reply to your attempts to contact them (they hung up on me over the phone as soon as they realised they were speaking to me on several occasions!).
If you go so far as to use their service and get your own customers on board then be prepared to lose them as soon as something goes wrong because it will never get fixed and you'll never be able to get through to the fraudsters at loyal checkin to inform them of the problem.
The biggest issue of course comes when you try to close your account, because YOU CAN'T. They just won't close your d**n account and will keep taking money from you. They literally steal it from your account. The only way i managed to get it to stop was to cancel my card. This of course had the problem of cancelling every other bill associated with that card that then had to be set up on the new one - as i said you'll get a headache if you choose to work with loyal checkin.
If i had to sum up loyal checkin in three words: SCAMMERS, THIEVES, CON-ARTISTS.

http://www.alingham.com/blog/wp-atom.php appears empty, even though I have over 150 posts on my blog. WordPress itself still works and displays pages because of its code... but I no longer have any content within any xml files (RSS and Atom)

Camilo Sesto at American Airlines Arena May 14
When the world ends, only the Twinkies and roaches will survive. Oh, and Camilo Sesto.
If you laughed at that jab, it's because you know Camilo Sesto. And if you're familiar with the sexagenarian Spanish pop singer, chances are good you're in that middle-age range or beyond. Not that it's a jab at you. Far be it from this publication to suggest you're old. It's just that Sesto hasn't been hot since the '80s. Which isn't to say he hasn't kept himself relevant — putting out records, touring, making your abuela sigh, and generally playing the game. That's exactly why the icon will likely outlive the rest of the population.
Truth be told, homey is only 65, which isn't all that old. But when your career has been chugging along for 40 of those 65, you give off a certain whiff of agedness. Still, Sesto has his following. Retirement homes need to play something to put residents to sleep.
Just kidding. His love-crooning hits — such as "Algo de Mi," "Amante, Amante," "Jamas," and "Perdóname" — are timeless. Catch him live this Saturday before he falls and can't get up.

Pictures: Miley Cyrus' raunchy performance of We Can't Stop
Singer Miley Cyrus, who was suffering from a bout of laryngitis and a neck injury, is finally back to good health and has already gone busy with the promotion of her new single 'We Can't Stop', which was put on hold due to her illness. As a part of its publicity, the 20-year-old singer displayed a raunchy performance on US TV show Jimmy Kimmel Live! Forgetting her Disney past, she grinded and groped with the female dancers.
For this outdoor show, Miley Cyrus sported an eye-popping outfit that ensured her 'abs like slabs' were on full display. Wearing above-the-knee heeled boots with a pair of black pants and a cropped white top, the Hannah Montana star showed her sultry moves in the live performance for the late night show in Hollywood. She got up close and personal with her back-up dancers as she sang her latest single 'We Can't Stop'.
Miley Cyrus showed off her killer physique as she paraded around on stage, grinded and groped with her back-up dancers, pushing her raunchy new image to the max. She spanked the bum of one of the dancers and also got steamy with another dancer, holding her close and touching her tummy as the girl grabbed Miley's thigh.
The singer was joined by will.i.am and the pair cosied up on stage as they performed his song 'Fall Down'. Besides all these raunchy acts, the singer sat down with Kimmel and talked about her pal Snoop. Talking about the rapper, she said, "He comes by the studio, he listens to my music and he's excited about what I'm doing with my career so it's cool."
