Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

Shane Victorino Joins Jesus in Hating the Cubs
Picture it:
It's the bottom of the fifth inning. The Cubs are getting killed by the Phillies. The bases are loaded and a high pop fly is hit to center field where Shane Victorino gets in position, sets himself to catch the ball and — SPLASH! — some idiot Cub fan in the bleachers tosses a beer down on the Flyin' Hawaiian's head.
What in the sam hell is goin' on here? Is it Do Something Stupid a la Glenn Beck night again at Wrigley?
Nope. Just another day at the ironically coined "Friendly" Confines.
Victorino catches the ball anyway and tosses it back into the infield… but he is obviously rattled by the bush league shenanigans synonymous with the Cub faithful.
Dear readers, this ain't no joke. This really happened. And it happened last night.
Yeah, yeah, a couple of not-so-intimidating ushers rushed down and apparently forced someone to leave… but was it the actual culprit whom they shooed away? Replays make me wonder. And was anything done to curb this type of innate dereliction? Why, of course not! This is what you get when you go to Wrigley Field: complete asinine behavior!
Look, I have done more than a lifetime's worth of Cub-bashing on this site. I know this. And I don't particularly like doing it. I like to believe that I am fair in my critique because look, I get it: Not all Cub fans are delinquents (just the majority) and I even I get tired of saying the same things over and over again…
But somehow, some way, some day, I like to think this idiocy will eventually come to an end.
Though until we reach that day that will never come, Shane Victorino, no one will blame you for joining Jesus in his 100+ year plight:
There is a reason why Jesus hates the Cubs.
And pouring beer on an All-Star centerfielder while the ball is in play barely scratches the surface.
Hate me 'cuz I'm relentless, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

What is it with Cub fans? Is it the 100+ years of futility that makes them behave like neanderthals? Geez, this even makes Packer fans look classy. Twins fans would never throw beer on an opposing player. Hats yes, but not beer. We threw hot dogs once, but that was at Chuck Knoblauch (and he deserved it).
I thought it was pretty ridiculous too. Plus, when you look at that replay it does appear that they got the wrong guy!
Shane looked pretty PO'd after that.
Erin — Knoblauch! Ha! Remember when his arm just stopped working? I blame the 'roids. And yeah, Cub fans make Packer fans look classy and THAT is SCARY!
FBC — Wouldn't you be? I woulda ran up there and decked the guy. Believe dat!
Jeff – I was on Twitter last night when the beer was thrown, and the fans there all thought that the wrong guy got thrown out.
Jeff – the wrong fan did get thrown out… checkout my pics to see the guy… plus he ended up getting a bunch of them thrown out…..and why would you waste perfectly good BEER, or maybe it's not good beer at wrigley…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Throwing a beer on the playing field, at Shane Victorino, that's vicious. Good thing the fence is higher and Shane didn't go up on the stands. Speaking of which, it did remind me of that Pacers-Pistons Brawl during an NBA game at the Palace of Auburn Hills when a Pistons fan throws a cup of beer at-then Pacer Ron Artest. Artest runs and punches fans and the melee escalated.
Getting back to last night, maybe the wrong fan was taken out of the game, but you're right, the Cubs fans can be very roudy at times. Hopefully when the Cubs win the World Series and break this drought, they won't behave that badly, just like the White Sox and Red Sox fans
Matthew Tang
Throwing beer at a player? Not cool. But I do love Erin's comment about throwing hot dogs at Knoblauch. LOL!
Julia — I'm not surprised. Nothing about the Cubs franchise screams efficiency.
Peter — Nope. It's all Old Style, Bud Light or Miller Lite. That's it. Will check your pics soon.
Matthew — Cubs win the world series? Are you mad, man? Worse, more despicable words have never been said.
Jane — Hehe. I dig that image as well.
LOL! I've read a bunch of blogs and articles about the Victorino beer bath, as he's my favorite player, and this is by far the funniest one. Jesus hating the cubs….that's great. Some rappers might be cool enough to "make it rain", but only Victorino can "make it rain beer!"
Adam — If he can make it rain beer on cue then I need to hire him for my next house party. Believe dat!
That is dispicable that the Cubs fan did that. No wonder Jesus hates the Cubs, who doesn't? Poor and disgraceful to the city!😦 Thank god I am an Indians fan, nothing like that ever happens at Proggresive Field….🙂
TribeTed — You're right. You are just infested with Lake Eerie midges and poor pitching. Hehehe. I kid because I care.
Wait! It was FULL beer? What were they thinking! What a waste of a perfectly good beer. Hope Shane is ok.
Thanks for the comment Jeff, and Cleveland is home of the wild. Like Wild thing Rick Vaughn. The Seagulls, midges, bugs, and everything else that scampered onto Progressive Field. The Tribe must use the Wild thing in them to win!🙂
Ginny — He's good to go. A bit buzzed, but he's cool.
Ted — The best thing the Indians could do right now is call up Charlie Sheen and get him some innings.
I agree with everyone here. Why waste a perfectly good beer on a hopeless cause? Jesus really does hate the Cubs… and apparently Cubs fans too. Serves 'em right.
Lisa — Amen!
Seriously. That was a waste of perfectly good alcohol. Or maybe it wasn't good and the guy wanted to dump it (jk) There is no excuse for stupid behavior like that. -Virginia
PS: I happen to like Glenn Beck. He is hilarious. And I only watch FOX news, cuz they are the only ones that tell is straight!
Have to agree…did you see the nasty note some idiot Cubs fan left on my blog? He did nothing to help his cause there – claiming after a ONE game experience in Philly that he thinks all Philly fans are rude and horrible. I did mention back to him that perhaps, being the obvious moron he is, he provoked the behavior. Add that to the beer incident, and he really did wreck my image of Cubs fans.
Virginia — Uh oh. Dem's fightin' words! Lol.
Jenn — Now you know what I've been dealing with my whole life. Blows, eh?
I watched the video of Shane getting the beer dumped on him and towards the end they show the guy who dumped the beer. He looked at the security guards as if he had done nothing wrong.
The poor CF, I feel bad for him. What a stupid fan, too.
Melissa — You'd be better off watching the video featured in this post. Believe that. Keep comin' back!
When I saw that on BBTN, I literally sat on my couch and stared at the TV. Because I couldn't believe that even a CUBS fan would do that. Yay, classy people.
Kylie — http://kylie.mlblogs.com
Classy, Kylie? I'm glad you speak fluent Sarcasm. Hehe.

The Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories are refurbishing the Spin
Rocket Motor, a prime component of the B61 nuclear weapon system. Both the originai
motor produced in i966 and the version last produced in 1991 are the subjects of the
refurbishment. Both motors, which are essentially identical, produce thrust to arm the
weapon. In December 2001, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
received Nuclear Weapons Council Standing and Safety Committee (NWCSSC) approval
to study the feasibility and cost of replacement options In April 2003, the NWCSSC
approved the development of a new Spin Rocket Motor based on Sandia's assertions that
test data collected between 1997 and 2002 showed the motors, due in largc: part to
"detrimental aging," were not performing according to specifications. Detrimental aging
occurs when a component's age prevents it from performing to meet military
requirements. The first production unit for this refurbishment effort is scheduled to be
completed in December 2006, at an estimated overall project cost of about $60 million

HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted this week in favor of two measures that would reduce the numbers of elected state officials. One bill would reduce the number of representatives from 203 to 153. The other bill would reduce the number of senators from 50 to 38.
The senate, however, has not acted on the legislation, and in order for such a size reduction to take hold, it must be passed by both houses and signed by the governor in two consecutive legislatures, and then voted on by residents.
House members voted in favor of the change by a three- to-one margin. Rep. Hal English said, "I am pleased to support this drive as the new technology resources available to us as a society make it easier to reach out to and communicate with constituents. Both of these measures received strong bipartisan support."
Supporters of the measure say the current size of the legislature, which is the second largest of all 50 states, makes it hard for lawmakers to come to agreement on the important matters facing them.
But opponents of the move say it would put too much power in the hands of urban representatives. Rep. Bob Robbins said it would put rural districts at a disadvantage in dealing with issues such as agriculture.
Rep. Eddie Pashinski said he voted against the measures because, while the redistricting would not occur until after the federal census in 2020, the proposed redistricting process is flawed.
He wrote in a press release, "Under the legislation that just passed the house, the house majority leader and senate president pro tempore would largely determine the new legislative district plan. Gerrymandering is already a serious problem plaguing the commonwealth, and reducing the size of the legislature would allow the majority party to redraw the legislative districts in favor of keeping their legislative seats in lieu of adequately and fairly representing the people of Pennsylvania."
There is also a concern that legislators would have larger districts with a greater number of constituents; therefore they may argue that they need larger staffs to handle the additional workload, which could end up actually increasing the size of government.
There was also concern among critics that with fewer lawmakers in power, special interests would have even more influence than they do now because there would be fewer people to give money to. Rep. Greg Vitali said, "If we really want to do right by the people we represent, we will direct our efforts to reducing the influence of special-interest money. If you pass this bill, you're increasing the influence of special interest money."

Genre of the Epic Poem
The Iliad is an epic poem and part of the ancient Greek oral tradition. Homer's audience was an illiterate culture, and Homer himself was most likely illiterate. Many critics believe that the composition of the Iliad predated any form of writing in the Greek culture. There are some critics, however, who believe that the Iliad must have existed in writing, given its length and complexity. It would have been nearly impossible to maintain such a coherent form by oral transmission alone. This does not mean, however, that it existed in the form that we now know it, or that it was accessible to the general public. If writing did exist, it is thought to have been practiced only by a few storytellers. These "Men of Words" would write down their best tales for their own use and to train their apprentices. They would not be seen by anyone else. Because of the enormous effort of writing, these books would become very valuable possessions, and would be passed down from the storyteller to his successor (Murray, 95-96).
The poets themselves were highly regarded by their contemporaries and treated as fellow workers who attempted to bring beauty to life. The purpose of the tales was both to eloquently preserve the history of a people and to entertain. The stories consisted of a mix of common history borrowed from past poets and embellishments added by the poet. Because these poems were delivered orally, they were adapted and elaborated with each telling, and were never the same twice. Whether written or not, the elaborate tales were recited by professional oral poets as entertainment at banquets, festivals, and fairs. It is known, for instance, that the Iliad was performed yearly at the Panathenaea in Athens, a great fair held every four years and lasting several days. At this festival, the Iliad was performed in relay fashion by many storytellers competing against each other. Each bard would attempt to make his portion of the poem more entertaining than the others. This resulted in some stretching and embellishment of facts. These were permitted as long as the teller did not deviate too far from known history.
A poet would rely on several routine devices to remember the core events of the narrative. These included the following:
1) Epic Hero—a virtuous and noble figure, proven in battle, who represents his nation, culture, or race.
2) Length—while each episode was designed to be recounted in a single evening, the entire work is quite long.
3) Lofty Style—the tone of the work is primarily serious, and the style is exalted—worthy of the subject.
4) Epic Similes—the poem contains extended comparisons between one element or character and something foreign to the poem. The simile helps the...

Police: Man broke $2,400 signMarch 02,2013BENNINGTON A Farley Drive man was charged with a felony Monday after police said they believed he broke a wooden sign on Elm Street on Feb. 1 that cost nearly $2,400 to replace.
Matthew Bortell, 27, of Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of unlawful mischief resulting in more than $1,000 in damage.
In an affidavit, Officer Thalia Hudson, of the Bennington Police Department, said she was dispatched about 2:45 a.m. Feb. 1 to Elm Street. At the scene, Hudson spoke to a woman who said she had heard the sign for Edwards Investments being broken and saw two men leaving the area.
Hudson said Bortell was spotted on Main Street a short time later. While Bortell admitted to being on Elm Street earlier in the morning with another man, Hudson said he wouldnt give police a last name or address for the other man and denied breaking the sign.
Staff at Edwards Investment gave police an estimate of $2,390.46 to replace the sign.

Gigil (Tagalog): The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably cute.
Prononciation: Ghee-gle
For clarification, I first came across the word gigil on a TV forum discussion about the origin of language. Since then I have had trouble finding a true source.
This is all I have ..... Filipino Dictionary
I'm thinking, because this word exists in Filipino it means the Philippines has a lot of cute things to talk about, things so cute you melt as they look back at you with their huge doe eyes.
When I heard it I thought 'we should use that word'. Its so much better than, * OMG! that little puppy is so cute, look at him, I just want to squeeze him and cuddle him tight* and what about the time your elderly aunt/grandmother comes to visit. Does she pinch your cheeks and say how cute your dimples are? So now this is the word to describe that action.

Nice presentation Candy! Real nice. What a word!. Nice cartoon!
But...to give grandmaster tsuwm a cookie of his own dough, how come he has 5 points? The vote by tsuwm on tsuwms' definition gets no points, if my mem'ry serves me well.....
I know points don't count but even nopoints should be counted well.

if you're going to quibble about the scoring based on precedent [harumph], how about that giving of a bonus to wofa for multiple submissions, which was frowned upon in the past - as more daffies usaully gets you more total votes. but yes, the points don't matter.

Fine round. Thanks Candy.
Congrats to Olly and to all for believable definitions.
I'm glad, thanks Faldage, that I didn't get skunked.
I, for one am still going to call that ring on the block & tackle
and that unbearable cute French girl, gigil.

City of Boulder-Xcel task force disbands
- published_in
- Today's News
A joint statement issued Thursday afternoon said the Boulder-Xcel Energy Partnership Task Force, made up of city officials, community and business leaders and representatives from Xcel, will no longer meet.
The group, which had met at least monthly since April 2013, disbanded itself when it became apparent that the city and Xcel Energy would not be able to reach consensus about revisions to the group's operating agreement. That agreement addressed how information and documents presented in connection with the task force would be protected from use in future litigation.
The task force had revised its mission to focus on products and services that Xcel Energy would offer across its Colorado service territory.
Because of the expertise gained during the task force process, members of the group felt it was important to remain engaged with each of the parties, but will do so separately, on parallel paths, according to the statement.
Xcel Energy announced that it will not present its package of products and services to the Boulder City Council in June, but instead, will present proposals to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission beginning sometime this year. The city, too, intends to form additional working groups as part of its exploration of municipalization.
The city and Xcel Energy are grateful to the Task Force members for the time and effort they have put into this process. Their contributions have been invaluable.

lol, now that's embarrassing :D Anyway this year they will qualify for CL and probably will end up second in the Ligue. I hope he will stay because Chelsea/City/PSG would be worst places for such a player to go ... Arsenal / Milan / Bayern / Borussia Dortmund / Juve the best choices, but sadly non of those clubs have that much money to spend.
With ManU interested in Lewandowski and RVP in the squad I don't see them making a bid for Falco

Indeed. I wouldn't want to see him there either. Those clubs may have ambition, but the players are mainly there for the money at the end of the day. Arsenal would be good, but I highly doubt it, as they won't be able to offer him enough money, but it'd be nice to see him at Milan/Dortmund/Juve. I heard Balotelli signed with Milan? lol
I think Lewandowski already signed a deal with him, sad to see him leave Dortmund, I wonder why he's leaving...Rues/Gotze will probably play the false 9 role.

its clear and fair PK, the defense launch a tackle to the opposition in the penalty box, he missed the ball and when the player tried advance the defense grab his leg :shrug:

Guus Hiddink eh ? that guy is not one to talk in times like that since he was the one who lead the Korean **** in 2002
and he said nothing about it, so when his team get the same reception by the REF,he shouldn't be talking at all,
its just after the match, things still get messy, but after that they made an analysis, pros Like Gullit agree that there's at least 3-4 penalty for Chelsea

Materazzi mentioned something about Mario wearing AC Milan socks in Inter's dressing room '' thought Mario was a AC Milan FAN'' .. I think poor guy just woke up in the wrong bedroom that morning :D
also I saw weardest news from scandinavian news portal that stated that Real Madrid are interested in Arsene Wenger. I DONT THINK IT WILL HAPPEND. But with billion tons of respect to Wenger and all the **** that happened to him and he's coaching career at Arsenal, board that can't keep good players. Real Madrid for Wenger... would be well deserved, he's one of the best coaches and is 100% committed to his work. Real Madrid + Arsene =

At these matches, I'll support Celtic and PSG. Juventus are favorites, for sure but still Celtic may turn it into a draw or a win...who knows?
Valencia vs PSG is a cool and a close match, but PSG should win this. They are the better team so they shouldn't let Valencia win this match.

Valencia v/s PSG: 1-2
Even if this remain a very good result for PSG - as it's an away victory with 2 goals scored. But they still missed it up in second half and I hope for them, that this isn't going to haunt them at Parc des Princes. They should have made it 3-0; had Lavezzi not miss 2-3 good chances in second half. Then came the late goal of Valencia on free-kick with Rami's flick. And also, Zlatan's red card - a red which looks severe in my eyes when I watch the replays. Also, Veratti will miss the return leg. Still, they did play much much better than in November or so. And I must admit, Lucas' arrival is synonymous with this better PSG. His pace, skills and power are exceptional. Something, I already knew but it's great that he's showing this on CL Platform. Lavezzi is also faring much better in a central role. Apart being Argentinian, there's many glimpses of Tevez in his play. Valencia is a good team but sincerely, they were outshone by PSG tonight and a 1-2 scoreline is pretty flattering and still hopeful for them...
Celtic v/s Juve: 0-3
Well, this might have been a predictable scoreline before the match but still, the match isn't reflected with this score. I was mostly expecting Celtic to defend a lot but they played extremely and I mean, extremely high against Juventus. Quite frankly, even if the defence of Juventus was okay, this was a disappointing performance from Juventus. Even in their counters, they were sloppy and the midfield were pretty sloppy in passes. They score the first goal; in what was a huge blunder from Celtic defense and their 2 remaining goals were scored in last 15 minutes when Celtic played were arguably out of juice. I was hoping to see a more dominant Juventus tonight as I perceive them as one of the favorites but I guess, what matters is the result as I always say. And with their ruthless tactical approach and opportunistic flair, they really made themselves comfortable for the return leg and a more than-probable quarter final.
Okay, done with the appetizers. All eyes and more on Madrid v/s United now. :D
I am a huge supporter of barcelona but i want real madrid to win . With thier men returning from injury i think they have enough quality in thier team to beat this manchester united side. Manchester united seems to be having a walk in the park in the league and looks most likely to win it , so i will like to see how they fair against this madrid team who have set most of thier sights on champions league glory . With ronaldo also coming off a hatrick last week that should be a huge confidence booster. I am going for a 2_1 win for madrid.
2-0 for Madrid..........
unless shit happens then MANU will take is one
Well, I'll be updating this post with live-commentary and live-updates of the match. Though, in case, the match gets too nail-biting, my hands won't get on the keyboard :p In that case, you'll excuse me
Getting close to it...-God of War- posted the squad players below...Thanks for that
Manchester United (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Carrick, Jones, Kagawa, Welbeck; Rooney, van Persie
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Lopez; Arbeloa, Ramos, Varane, Coentrao; Khedira, Alonso; Di Maria, Ozil, Ronaldo; Benzema
- Champions League Anthem Starting...Anticipation building-up....
0' - Here we go! RM Kick-off...
1': Madrid is pressing high as United is keeping slow passes.
1': First shot of Khedira which got off-target. Nice movement from RM.
2': Kagawa is the one who's keeping the ball better for now in United. No man-marking on CR7.
3': Di Maria acceleration sent me a chill but his shot is luckily off-target. Second shot
4: Yellow Card! RVP. Severe one...
5': POST for RM. This is getting more and more suffocating with each attack...
8': Misunderstanding between Varane & Lopez. First corner for United.
12': United trying to break the last line of Madrid without much success for some mins. now...
16': Elbow of Ramos on Evans. That was a bit intentional...
19': Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! Welbeck on a Rooney's corner. 0-1
22': First- on target shot by Di Maria... Saved by De Gea.
26': United's goal on their first chance, is really a fantastic operation for now.
27': Fantastic left-foot shot by CR7 on a follow-up of his free-kick. Close but off-target. Sent me a shiver.
29': EQUALISER! CR7 obviously. Clinical header. Perfectly placed, must admit. 1-1
33': Damn!. So close for Welbeck. Closely deflected by lopez on a great cross of RVP.
34': Rooney....Tried to round 3 players and shoot. Shot closely off-target.
36': 11-6 in Attempts stats for now (for RM)...As per TV!
37': Ozil' shoot on a long-through ball by Alonso. Saved by De Gea into corner.
39': Yellow card for Rafael!
42': Missile by CR7! Really close. Phew....
43': United really need to hold this 1-1 score by half-time. RM is really pushing hard...\
46': Contrao whips an excellent cross for CR7 whose header went agonizingly close...
Many more chances for Madrid but that was to be expected as they are at Bernabeu. Ronaldo's headers and shots always created danger; with one of his header finding the net. Contrao's post shot also was one of the main moments. United seized the moment on that corner with Welbeck; and the latter also got the second best chance for United as his deflection from RVP's cross was saved barely by Lopez. I think, United will be more compact in defence if they are leading or if they are still tied by the hour-mark.
I know, my updates are really short but as usual, I'll do a long review with details on players' performance and physiognomy of the match at the end of the match. For now, my eyes are way too stuck on the TV.
51': Quite some back-and-forth action for some time now. With the defences solid enough for now.
52': Long-range shot by Di maria but saved pretty easily by De Gea.
53': What a volley by Di Maria for 20 yards! Off-target but cold sweat for De Gea!
53': Oh mY! Last-ditch defence from Varane on Evra who was rushing onto goal. No foul given but there was contact! It's a pretty lineant referee we got here btw.
58': Di Maria is impressive today!
59': Benzema OUT! Higuain IN!
60': WHAT A SAVE by De gea! This guy has some crazy leg reflexes as he saves Contrao's shot after Khedira's cross.
62': Just some thought as Madrid got possession! The goal from CR7 was a mirror reflection of his bullet header in CL's 2008 final.
64': Kagawa OUT! Giggs IN!
67': Madrid is pressing high now; in search of a goal.
69': Ronaldo cuts a low-cross of Higuain but off target!
71': F**k! Double-chances for RVP! His shot on the bar and seconds later, he misses his shot and Alonso saves it on the line! RVP should have scored there!
73': Welbeck OUT! Valencia IN!
74': Corners are piling up for Madrid! And they are also shooting a lot which are being deflected by United defence!
75': Di Maria OUT! Modric IN!
76': Higuain try a shot without much power! Saved by De Gea; even if he seemed blinded by his defence. Come on, De gea, keep it up!
79': Shot by Khedira which is saved by De Gea after a long spell of possession by Madrid.
80': Great chance for Giggs but unfortunately, given his weak right foot, he didn't finish the chance.
82': Alonso OUT! Pepe IN!
83': Rooney OUT! Anderson IN!
85': So close for CR7! A free-kick from 37 yards or so and it went just over the bar!
87': Yellow-card for Valencia for an elbow on Ramos; who again did lots of cinema.
89': United still hanging on to this 1-1 draw as we get....+3 minutes of additional time!
91': Evans & Jones remove the ball barely from Ronaldo's feet as he was about to finish from close-range!
92': Lopez saves Madrid! RVP sends a good volley which is parred by the gk into corner!
93': End of the match as United players are contesting against the referee because he didn't let the last corner being played.
Oh well, there, we are: 1-1 as I'll do an elaborate review in some minutes! Stay tuned!

Real M. 1-1 Man U.
Shakhtar 1-1 Dortmund
Both games, the same result.
Manchester made a really good game, and also scored first. Real created more chances and had a better attack...they attacked more, had a good presure agaist Manchester. Manchester had a good defence, and at the first half, they played a deffending game more than an attacking one. Both teams scored with a header...Welbeck almost scored twice, and tht would be shocking for everyone.
I don't know what to say about Shakhtar- Dortmund, cause I wasn't watching that game. But a 1-1 result looks...a little tricky and weird for Dortmund. I thought Dortmund would score 2 goals since in the first half, and Shakhtar one. But looks like Dortmund lost a lot of good chances, and Shakhtar made a really good free-kick by scoring first! Possession os very close, but on total attempts Dortmund look the better team in attack.
Now, let's see what happens in the 2nd half!
Do a barrel roll, Ramos, they'll give you free kick for that.
EDIT: That ref was clearly helping Madrid

Oh, cmon, when was the last time you saw a ref stop the game before a corner was taken?
Real Madrid v/s Manchester United Review:
Overall, I said that a draw was a fair result; though a 2-2 would've reflected the match better imo. United played pretty high in the first half; though a bit in vain as Madrid gain quite chances. But on their true first chance, United scored on the corner. Afterwards, United played pretty defensively. Not like Chelsea but more of a high pressing from their own half. Ronaldo's equalizing header; as I said; was a mirror from the CL's 2008 Final against Chelsea. Gotta admit, his elevation and power was impressive.
In second half, United clearly decided to defend more and more as I did predict at half-time. They did try to bury a goal in early instants but as Bernabeu was boiling, they decided to hang on. Must say that few even dared to believe that United could grab a draw at Bernabeu; and as I pointed before, we weren't such huge underdogs.
So, it's 2 goals from headers, 2 posts for each side (Contrao in early moments of the match and RVP later on...). There were also 2 boiling moments that was pivotal in my eyes; first De Gea's out-of-the-world save with his legs and then RVP's missing his shot as Alonso saved the ball on the line. Otherwise, both sides got quite some chances which could've have tilt the tie in different direction. Madrid obviously got more shots and attempts; given the amount of possession but one thing I'd point out, is that Madrid had way too many chances off-target - a sin they could regret once they leave Old Trafford.
Statistically speaking, a draw away from home with a goal scored favors United but as we know, with 2 such big sides on the fixture, this tie remains more than undecided. Compared to MU's fiasco in 03' at Bernabeu and then their hard-fought victory at Manchester, despite Ronaldo's hattrick, I'd say that this performance leaves room for optimism at Old Trafford if they up their game.
Player-wise: Lopez wasn't much a reliability in my eyes; he especially got lucky on Welbeck's 2nd attempt where he deflected the ball with lots of good fortune. Did the crucial stop on RVP's last volley though. The centerbacks - Ramos and Varane - got few to do and can't say they did all, with complete mastery. Varane was better in some tackles; though the last-ditch comeback on Evra was a foul in my eyes. Not a red card but definitely a foul with a possible yellow. Ramos, didn't impress and he was even faulty on the winning corner as he lost his marking on Welbeck. Mostly showed him with cinema antics. As he cried a lot; which influenced referee to give a yellow to both Valencia & RVP! His elbow went on Evans went much more unnoticed. More on refereeing later on... Arbeloa went for a pretty harsh night and had many players coming down his flanks. Conterao had Welbeck more, in center, so he was much less in jeopardy defensively. He was very good in offensive tasks though; touching the post, having his deflection saved outstandingly by De Gea & also whipped dangerous crosses.
Alonso & khedira did their fair task of their job and were instrumental in Madrid's pretty lengthy possession spells. Ozil created quite some openings and his passing and movement gave constant nuisance to Jones. His permutation with Ronaldo also lead to quite some confusion between United defenders. Di Maria was probably the greatest nuisance with his dribbling skills and accelerations. Him, who is often inconsistent, was shining bright tonight as he repeatedly tested De Gea but unfortunately not rewarded. His exit surprised me.
CR7? Well, maybe he was destined to score. Much less venomous than expected on the wings but had quite some chances in both halves, especially in/near the box and from 2 free-kicks. Probably the best Madrid player along with Di Maria. Benzema was poor; and his substitute Higuain wasn't any better. Modric was behind the last chance of Madrid as his cross was successfully netted in by CR7. Pepe didn't touch much the ball; and luckily didn't touch much legs of United's players either.
On United! All hail De Gea Not that this was his best match but his save with his legs will do impression round the globe. He dealt with most on-target shot well and his lack of physicality in corners didn't matter. Shot-stopping wise, he was great; especially since Madrid tried a lot of far-shots but as I said, luckily many off-targets. I was expecting Rafael to be more tested but since Ronaldo came into the box more and Benzema wasn't much of a threat inside it. Rafael did what was needed most of the time, and luckily his early yellow didn't turn red! Evra had a hell of a night against Di Maria and was powerless against Ronaldo's goal. Ferdinand and Evans were pretty composed both on the grounds and in the air. A much more assuring performance that what I did fear.
Jones helped the defence a lot in the box. Originally tasked to man-mark Ozil, the German's constant movement to the flanks forced him to be literally a 5th defender as time moved on. Still, did his job fairly well but was wasteful in his passing. Missed Cleverley there! Carrick also shielded the defence for most instance like Jones, and similarly was a bit wasteful in possession compared to his usual self.
Kagawa debuted the match as striker that tried to stretch Madrid's defence (a role he left Welbeck after the latter's goal). He maintained possession better than Carrick & Jones and his passing was instrumental in certain United's attacks. Removed for Giggs who did the same role but both would have shined better if United had better possession. Welbeck was a surprise! He again had quite impressive work-rates but he also did score this time, the crucial goal and he nearly add a second later on. Subs Valencia & Anderson didn't got time to shine.
Rooney was probably the best passer of United and often calmed the tempo after some Madrid tempest. As usual, never hesitated to help his defence but his long ball didn't have the expected cutting edge as RVP or Welbeck were often lonely against two defenders. Also, expected Rooney to grab more chances offensively as he had only 1 shot. Nearly assisted RVP whose shot crash onto the bar and removed shortly after that.
RVP dropped deeper than usual; having Welbeck and Kagawa roaming in front of him. Did the same role of Rooney of protecting and flicking the ball to calm the game. Had 3 great chances: One onto the bar, one that he missed and was saved on the line and one parred by Madrid's GK in dying instants. For the ball he missed to volley with power, I think he thought he was offside and this split-second distraction distabilise him. It's costly as this goal would have forwarded United with a big big momentum for return leg. RVP didn't have the same offensive hunger though today as some of his previous matches. Let's hope, he'll shine more at Old Traffford.
Some words of referee Brych who didn't have any extreme scandalous decisions but many of his decisions did favor Madrid. Notably giving 2 yellow to United players after Ramos' acting while the latter wasn't sanctioned for elbowing Evans. Then there was the non-given foul on Evra by Varane. Also, to stop the match before the last corner was pretty shocking. Hey, Mr., this is United, you are refereeing and there's something called Fergie time, @sshole Oh well, that's part of the game.

BSC's New Business Information Systems Technology Baccalaureate Degree Program Begins this Fall
CreatedMonday, May 23 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—A new baccalaureate degree program that will be offered for the first time at Bluefield State College this fall will provide students with an opportunity to tap into one of the information systems, one of the nation's fastest-growing and financially-rewarding fields. The Business Information Systems program offered through the BSC School of Business will integrate business and computer science courses, preparing students for jobs with excellent starting salaries and bright futures.
"Students in the program will acquire a skill set that is in great demand in today's business environment," noted Dr. Steve Bourne, Dean of the BSC School of Business. "We are collaborating with the BSC School of Engineering Technology and Computer Science to offer a program that addresses the need for employees in an increasingly digitized public and private business sector. This degree combines the best of both worlds for our students."
Bourne said the program at BSC is both accessible and affordable for students throughout southern and southeastern West Virginia and surrounding areas. The closest similarly designed program is located at Marshall University. "The very solid starting salary in this occupational field enables program graduates to enjoy high standard-of-living," he continued. "When compared to the average per capita incomes in West Virginia, BSC Business Information Systems program graduates project to rank within the top 25% of the state's workforce. It's also important to note that this program will serve as an economic development tool for BSC's service region."
The program received West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission approval at HEPC's April meeting. "Chancellor Brian Noland has noted on numerous occasions that higher education must prepare graduates to meet the demands of the 21st century workplace," Dr. Bourne added, "and this program is well equipped to do so."
Individuals interested in learning more about the new Business Information Systems baccalaureate degree program at Bluefield State College are encouraged to contact Dr. Bourne, 304-327-4087 or email@example.com ).

DEMING — Albuquerque Eastdale captured the state 10-11 Little League championship Friday night, edging Roosevelt County 1-0.
Roosevelt County forced a second championship game in the double-elimination tournament on Thursday night by posting a 10-7 victory over Eastdale. Portales made a determined run through the losers bracket after dropping its second game in the meet to Carlsbad.
Coach Sammy Villanueva said his team was able to hang in with the Albuquerque squad.
"Even though we lost, I'm not disapppointed," Villanueva said. "We were the small team from teeny, tiny Portales, and look at the noise we made."
Villanueva said his team played solid defense behind pitcher Ray Ornales to help keep the game close.
"I told the kids to play hard and take it to the sixth inning," he said. "They did everything that I asked. They did something that no one thought that they could do."
Roosevelt County was able to get a number of runners on base during the contest, but couldn't come up with the key hit to reach the scoreboard.
"We were hitting the ball, but their defense was great," Villanueva said.
"The team played with a lot of heart. I don't know if we ever had a group of kids fight this hard."

Citation: Ibekwe, A.M., Leddy, M.B., Bold, R.M., Graves, A.K. 2011. Bacterial composition in sediment and surface water as indicators for pollution in a mixed watershed. FEMS Microbiology Ecology. 79:155-166. Interpretive Summary: The Santa Ana River (SAR) in southern Californian is impacted by one of the highest concentration of cattle in the United States. The watershed is undergoing drastic changes. In general, the varying land uses in the middle SAR (Chino Basin) watershed include agriculture, open space, and rapidly growing urban areas with many waste water treatment plants. In order to address changes in water quality within the middle Santa Ana River watershed, a comparative study of bacterial population in the surface waters and sediment was performed. These communities were also examined to understand how different environmental factors (pH, salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature may influence the microbial population and their densities throughout the watershed. Our data showed that the use of deep sequencing technology provided the best opportunity to differentiate between bacterial populations from the different sources than the standard cloning method. This research will directly benefit water quality managers, water utility agencies, and the public.
Technical Abstract: Microbes in rivers are diverse and dynamic in composition due to different environmental factors and therefore, the composition of microbial community in a river may be indicators for pollution. However, the use of total bacterial composition as indicator for river pollution has not been studied in details; but rather, focus has been on the use of specific indicator bacteria such as E. coli, enterococci or other fecal indicator bacteria. In this study, bacterial community composition was monitored using Sanger and 454 pyrosequencing. The results were analyzed using nonmetric multidimentional scaling (NMDS) and UniFrac, coupled with principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) to compare diversity, abundance, community structure, and specific functional groups of bacterial in the sediment and surface water to determine bacterial composition in streams and creeks affected by different pollutants that contributes to the total quality of the Santa Ana River water in southern California USA. From all the sampling points, Bacteria were numerically dominated by three phyla—the Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Cyanobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Actinobacteria—accounting for the majority of taxa detected. Overall results, using the ß diversity measures UniFrac, coupled with principal coordinate analysis (PCoA), showed that bacterial composition in sediment and surface water was significantly different (P =0.0001) between agricultural runoff and urban runoff based on parsimony test using 454 pyrosequencing data. Our results showed that large data set may be needed to truly understand contamination levels in surface water and river sediment.

Inspector General Reports
The Office of Inspector General is authorized by law to review all programs and operations of the Peace Corps. Evaluations assess the operation and administration of a particular unit or program of the Peace Corps, e.g., an overseas post or a function or program or unit in headquarters.
Overseas post evaluations focus on the systems, policies, and procedures established by the post to ensure ongoing support to Volunteers and their assignments; this includes a documented program design; design and implementation of specific projects; technical, medical, and administrative support; and safety and security.
Post evaluations provide management with an in-depth assessment of the quality of the programs overseas. This includes a review of Volunteer assignments, the appropriateness of their site placements, the quality of their training, the quality of the support provided to them, their safety and security, and the adequacy of the post's staffing and logistical infrastructure to manage the program that is in place or is planned for the post. Evaluations provide the Agency with immediate information about the quality of management and operations. Evaluations use both quantitative data from headquarters and overseas offices and qualitative data from site visits and interviews with Peace Corps staff and Volunteers.
When evaluation staff visit a post without a member of the audit staff, they may also conduct a review of some administrative and financial systems at the post. Evaluations also review the post's implementation of Peace Corps Manual section 270 (Volunteer/Trainee Safety and Security) and report on the safety of Volunteers and the post's effectiveness in implementing procedures that assure the safety of the Volunteers.

Great shoes all around. I am impressed on how versatile they can be. Tye only one thing would be that they are not breathable. While vacationing in hot weather my feet were all sweaty and then it became uncomfortable. Maybe for that type of extreme wear in those weather conditions a pair of sneackers would have been more appropiate. As for all other aspects, i am in love with the brand and will buy other styles

OverviewFormality® is an equivalence-checking (EC) solution that uses formal, static techniques to determine if two versions of a design are functionally equivalent.
The size and complexity of today's designs, coupled with the challenges of meeting timing, area, power and schedule, requires that the newest, most advanced synthesis optimizations be fully verifiable.
Formality supports all DC Ultra and Design Compiler Graphical optimizations and so provides the highest quality of results that are fully verifiable.
Formality supports verification of power-up and power-down states, multi-voltage, multi-supply and clock gated designs.
Formality Ultra adds innovative matching and verification technologies to efficiently guide designers through the implementation of functional ECOs with minimal impact to the design and verify the correctness of the ECOs in minutes for multimillion instance designs. These capabilities help designers cut in half the time they spend implementing ECOs late in the design cycle and result in shorter, more predictable schedules.
Formality's easy-to-use, flow-based graphical user interface and auto-setup mode helps even new users successfully complete verification in the shortest possible time.
Download Datasheet
FormalityThe Most Comprehensive Equivalence Checking SolutionFormality delivers superior completion on designs compiled with DC Ultra/Design Compiler Graphical, which uses Topographical Technology to achieve accurate correlation with post-layout timing, area and power, and provides advanced optimizations such as retiming, phase inversion and ungrouping. Formality is also fully compatible with Design Compiler Graphical used to predict and alleviate routing congestion. Designers no longer need to disable Design Compiler's powerful optimizations to get equivalence checking to pass. DC Ultra/Design Compiler Graphical combined with Formality delivers maximum quality of results (QoR) that are fully verifiable.
Figure 1: Formality equivalence checking solution
Easy to Use with Auto-setup modeFormality's auto-setup mode simplifies verification by reducing false failures caused by incorrect or missing setup information. Auto-setup applies setup information in Formality to match the assumptions made by DC Ultra/Graphical, including naming styles, unused pins, test inputs and clock gating.
Critical files such as RTL, netlists and libraries are automatically located. All auto-setup information is listed in a summary report.
Guided SetupFormality can account for synthesis optimizations through the use of a guided setup file automatically generated by DC Ultra/Design Compiler Graphical. Guided setup includes information about name changes, register optimizations, multiplier architectures and many other transformations that may occur during synthesis. This correct-by-construction information improves performance and first-pass completion by utilizing the most efficient algorithms during matching and verification.
Formality-guided setup is a standard, documented format that removes unpredictability found in tools relying on log file parsing.
Independent VerificationEvery aspect of a guided setup flow is either implicitly or explicitly verified, and all content is available for inspection in an ASCII file.
Graphical User InterfaceFormality provides a flow-based graphical user interface designed to promote out-of-the-box usability. Reference and implementation designs can be shown simultaneously. Automatic cone pruning reduces complexity by showing only the differences between the reference and implementation designs.
Figure 2: Automatic cone pruning improves schematic readability when debugging
Hier-IQ™ TechnologyPatented Hier-IQ technology provides the performance benefits of hierarchical verification with flat verification's out-of-the-box usability.
Error-ID TechnologyError-ID identifies the exact logic causing real functional differences between two design representations. Error-ID can isolate and report several logic differences when multiple discrepancies exist. Error-ID will also present alternative logic that can be changed to correct a given functional difference; this flexibility allows the designer to select the change that is easiest to implement.
Failing Pattern Display WindowAll failing input patterns can be viewed in a familiar spreadsheet-like format. The failing pattern window is an ideal way to quickly identify trends indicating the cause of a failing verification or improper setup.
Power-aware Verification
Figure3: Problem areas can be easy identified by visual inspection of the Failing Pattern Window
Formality is fully compatible with Power Compiler and verifies power-up and power-down states, multi-voltage, multi-supply and clock gated designs.
When a reference design block is powered up, Formality verifies functionality. If the implementation design powers up differently, failing points will occur.
Formality functionally verifies that the implementation powers down when the reference powers down and will detect functional states where the implementation does not power down as expected. The valid power states are defined in the power state table (PST).
Power intent is supplied to Formality through IEEE 1801 Unified Power Format (UPF).
Figure 4: Power connectivity is easy to see and debug from the schematic view.
Accelerated Time to ResultsFormality's performance is enhanced with multicore verification. This Formality capability allows verification of the design using up to four cores simultaneously to reduce verification time.
Other Time-Saving FeaturesFormality's Hierarchical Scripting provides a method to investigate sub-blocks without additional setup and is ideal for isolating problems and verifying fixes.
The Source Browser opens RTL and netlist source files to highlight occurrences of a selected instance. This can help users correlate between the RTL and gate-level design versions.
Error Region Correlation provides a quick, visual identification of the logic from one design that correspond to the errors isolated by Error-ID within the other.
Command Line Editing allows you to take advantage of history and common text editor commands when working from Formality's command line.
Formality UltraKey BenefitsFormality Ultra provides GUI-driven ECO implementation assistance, fast ECO verification, and advanced debugging to Formality. Formality Ultra guides the user through the implementation of ECOs, and then quickly verifies only the changed logic.
Formality Ultra ECO FlowFormality Ultra uses the ECO RTL and an unmodified netlist. Guided GUI driven changes are made to the netlist. Once the ECO has been implemented, a quick verification is run on only the affected logic cones, eliminating the need for a full verification run on the design to verify that the ECO was implemented correctly.
Once all ECO's are implemented and fully verified, a list of IC Compiler commands is generated to assist in implementing the physical changes to the design.
ECO GuidanceFormality Ultra highlights equivalent nets between the reference and implementation designs, and nets that have lost their equivalence due to the ECO changes in the reference. This helps the designer quickly identify where the change should be made in the implementation.
Implementing the ECOEditing commands in Formality Ultra are used to modify the netlist in-place using the Formality Ultra GUI.
Figure 5: Equivalent net is highlighted between Reference design (left) and Implementation design (right)
Figure 6: On a completed ECO, the schematic shows the nets affected by ECO in yellow, and the new component and net in orange
Figure 7: Formality Ultra transcript shows a successful partial verification of the portion of the design that was affected by the ECO
Rapid ECO VerificationFormality can identify and verify just the portion of the design affected by the ECO. This ensures that the ECO was implemented correctly. If the ECO verification fails, the ECO can be interactively "undone" and new edits can be made again. Once the partial verification passes, the changes are committed. This partial verification eliminates having to verify the entire design to assure that the ECO was implemented correctly, dramatically reducing the total time required to implement and verify the ECO.
Interface with IC CompilerOnce all of the ECO's have been implemented and verified, a final complete verification run is performed to assure that the ECO RTL and the ECO netlist are functionally equivalent.
Formality Ultra produces IC Compiler compatible ECO command file, easing the implementation in the physical design.
Advanced DebuggingFormality Ultra incorporates advanced debugging capabilities that help the designer identify and debug verifications that do not pass. The designer can find compare points, equivalences (and inverted-equivalences) between reference and implementation designs, perform "what if" analysis by interactively modifying the designs, and verify equivalence between two (or multiple) points.
