Season Four: Manchester United
Wednesday, May 11, 2010
Just three days after the "triumphant" draw at Stamford Bridge, it was time Manchester United's biggest test of the season. Forget Chelsea, they were in the past. Forget the defeats to Bolton and Everton to be knocked out of the two domestic cups. It was time for the second leg of the Champions League Semi-Final, against AC Milan. The first match took place at Old Trafford, and the Italians came out strong with a 2-0 victory; goals from Seedorf and Shevchenko came in the second half. Now it was the second leg, at San Siro, and it would be a huge hill to climb for United.
Due to injuries, United were forced to field a team weaker than they would have liked. With Cristiano Ronaldo, Louis Saha, and Alan Smith all on the injury list, it was a lineup similar to the one that had drawn against Chelsea. However, Park Ji Sung was fatigued and replaced by Kieran Richardson at left midfield.
Manchester United Lineup:
GK: Tim Howard - 84
RB: Wes Brown - 83
CB: Rio Ferdinand - 93
CB: Roberto Fabian Crespo - 93
LB: Gabriel Heinze (c) - 86
RM: Carlos Torres - 77
CM: Darren Fletcher - 80
CDM: Paulo Gavilan - 74
LM: Kieran Richardson - 82
ST: Ruud van Nistelrooy - 95
ST: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 83
GK: Francisco Bravo - 65
CB/LB/CM: John O'Shea - 84
CB/LB: Mikael Silvestre - 81
RB: Jelli Bisconti - 77
CAM/LM/RM: Park Ji Sung - 84
ST: Guissepe Rossi - 69
ST: Louis Saha - INJURED
The Milan side were especially strong in the midfield, but their 3 man defense (3-1-4-2 formation) was weak in comparison to previous years. They still had Nesta remaining strong, but Kaladze was faltering in his age. The San Siro was packed and glowing with red smoke as Shevchenko received the ball on the kickoff. Game on.
The first stages of the game saw little goalscoring action, but an abundance of hard work in the midfield, with Fletcher and Gavilan mixing it up with the likes of Gattuso and Kaka. The ball was frequently won back by the team that had just given it up, and it seemed that the game would never truly find a flow, until the 32nd minute when Gavilan's sliding tackle on Nesta poked the ball through to Solskjaer, who hit the ball on the half-volley, forcing a good save - and hold - from Gelson. As the United midfield was pushed up, Gelson's long throw to Gattuso caught United outnumbered, and the situation became even more dangerous when Kaka received the ball with Shevchenko running between Ferdinand and Roberto Fabian Crespo. The ball was chipped over Ferdinand, and Shevchenko received the ball, but Crespo was able to outmuscle the Ukrainien and play a ball back to Howard, who found Heinze down the left side. Heinze then played a lovely switch over to the right winger Torres. Torres tore down the line and let in a nice cross between Nesta and Kaladze. Neither defender took the initiative, and Ruud van Nistelrooy was able to chest the ball down and volley past Gelson on the near post. 1-0, United. Things were looking better for the Red Devils, but they still had another goal to score just to level the score. The game slowed down even more after the goal, and it was 2-1 to Milan's advantage with just one half left to play.
The second half was completely opposite from the first. Milan took it to United, forcing a few good saves from Howard, and Kaka struck the post on a 20 yard free kick. At the 60th minute, Wes Brown got caught out of position and Clarence Seedorf was allowed room to shoot, and shoot he can. He unleashed a hard shot from the perimeter which had very little swerve, striking the post and finding the net to draw the match level. With only half an hour left, United needed two goals to advance to the finals, and they were also faced with the task of keeping Milan out.
Milan were content to play the ball around United, but it was in the 72nd minute when Darren Fletcher intercepted a Gattuso pass and chipped a long lob over the head of Torres. The right winger only had one man to beat, and he did so with a cheeky stepover. Bearing down on goal, he was about 10 yards out when he spotted Gelson off of his line, and chipped the ball over his head, but to his dismay the ball hit the crossbar. The chance seemed to be over, but the ball grazed the bottom of the bar and dropped into the net! 2-1 Manchester United, but 3-2 Milan in the longrun. After the goal, Jelli Bisconti was brought on in place of Wes Brown at right back. The young defender was eager to win the ball back, but perhaps a little too eager, as he clattered in on Shevchenko within minutes of arriving on the pitch. Despite his greatest protests, Urs Maier produced the red card, and Bisconti was off; United were left with ten! United now employed a 3-4-2 formation, with Crespo, Ferdinand, and Heinze at the back, all playing as center backs. This was no time to take a striker off!
Kaka hit his free kick dipping over the wall, but Howard was able to hold on to the ball with ease. He powered a kick up to Solskjaer, who laid the ball off for Fletcher. The Scot then played a throughball which, by luck, got through Kaladze. Van Nistelrooy took off to win the ball, while Nesta did his best to keep up. However, it was evident that the Dutchman would win the ball, and Nesta pulled him down a few yards outside of the box. Freekick, and a yellow card for Nesta. Up stepped van Nistelrooy to take the shot, facing a formidable five man wall. He took one last breath, and made his run up to the ball. Striking it hard and low, the ball came close to hitting the first man in the wall, but it bent itself around the near side of the wall, and swerved back on frame. Could it be?!?! Yes! The ball strikes the inside of the near post and bounces into the side netting on the far side! The goal came in the 85th minute, and it was 3-1 United; they were through on away goals!
Not content to give up, Milan stepped up their game in the closing minutes but the midfield pairing of Gavilan and Fletcher, along with the back three, put themselves about to ensure that United would play in the finals. Tackles crunching in the midfield, the whistle finally blew, and against conventional wisdom, Manchester United were through to the finals.

Season Four: Manchester United
May 26, 2010
Just over two weeks ago, Manchester United came from behind to topple AC Milan in the second leg of the Champions League Semi-Finals. The reward: a spot in the finals, a spot to prove that England produced good football. But who would be United's opponent? Benfica? No, no. They were defeated by Liverpool. Yes, it would be an all-English Final, a testament to the achievements of English football. United fared well against their rivals in the league, and the English Cup, but that was with the aid of players like Alan Smith and Cristiano Ronaldo. United would not have their services this time; however, Louis Saha returned from injury to claim his starting role once again. The French striker, who scored 44 goals so far, would hope to see the team that stuck by him for so many seasons lift the cup at the end of 90 minutes. His fellow Frenchman, Djibril Cisse, had other plans in mind. Cisse hit 39 on the year, and his strike partner Fernando Morientes hit 36. How would this final with so many great goalscorers turn out? A fastpaced goalfest, or a slow, one goal affair?
Manchester United Lineup:
GK: Tim Howard - 84
RB: Wes Brown - 83
CB: Rio Ferdinand - 93
CB: Roberto Fabian Crespo - 93
LB: Gabriel Heinze (c) - 86
RM: Carlos Torres - 77
CDM: Paulo Gavilan - 74
CAM: Darren Fletcher - 80
LM: Kieran Richardson - 82
ST: Ruud van Nistelrooy - 95
ST: Louis Saha - 88
GK: Francisco Bravo - 65
CB/LB/CM: John O'Shea - 84
CB/LB: Mikael Silvestre - 81
RB: Jelli Bisconti - 77
CAM/LM/RM: Park Ji Sung - 84
ST: Guissepe Rossi - 69
ST: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 83
Liverpool Lineup:
GK: Pepe Reina
RB: Josemi Gonzalez
CB: Jamie Carragher
CB: Huusko
LB: Djimi Traore
RM: Luis Garcia
CM: Steven Gerrard
CM: Xabi Alonso
LM: John Arne Riise
ST: Fernando Morientes
ST: Djibril Cisse
The match started off with Liverpool attacking right away, but they were stifled by Gavilan, who was playing deeper in the midfield to allow Fletcher more attacking freedom. In the 15th minute, Gavilan went on a mazy run past Alonso and Gerrard, striking a speculative shot from 30 yards. Reina did not move as he knew that the ball was sent wide, but the ball swerved, and just narrowly missed the top corner of the net. Five minutes later, Cisse won a corner kick, and Gerrard lobbed a high ball into the box. Howard came for the ball, but missed, allowing Morientes to head towards an open goal. But his composure failed him, and he headed high over the net. Howard and United dodged their first bullet of the game. That miss proved costly however, when in the 25th minute, when van Nistelrooy played the ball outside to Torres, who then sent in a whipped cross. The ball sailed over the heads of Saha, Huusko, and Carragher, but Kieran Richardson was able to pick up the ball, and blast a volley towards the far side. It appeared to be sailing wide, until Jamie Carragher stepped in front of it, and the touch off of his arm sent the ball into the net! 1-0 United, midway through the first half.
The pace was stepped up by both sides after the opening goal, with a lot of good end to end play, ultimately resulting in good saves from both Reina and Howard. In the 45th minute, Alonso played a lovely ball through to Cisse, who was breaking around the midway line, and he had the potential to beat Heinze, the last man back, but the whistle blew for half time.
In the second half, Liverpool looked the stronger of the sides. The team adorned in red created chance after chance, but were kept out by Howard, Crespo, and Gavilan. At the 60 minute mark, Park was brought in to replace Richardson, the goalscorer, who picked up a knock after a hard tackle from Josemi. His presence was felt immediately. Playing a throw-in with Fletcher, Park darted down the flank and had the ball played to him. He sent in a cross that Reina was able to punch clear, but the rebound fell to a late-running Saha, who struck the ball on the half-volley into the upper corner! 2-0 United, and they had insurance!
All the while, an intense midfield battle was being won by Gerrard and Alonso, who were able to beat, but not expose, Gavilan and Fletcher. Liverpool enjoyed much of the possession, but created few chances from the center of the park. The game was drawing to an end, and the hardworking Riise broke down the left side and played in a cross to Fernando Morientes. The striker chested the ball down and played a clever turn around Brown, and struck the ball to the far post. Howard got a deflection with his arm, but directed the ball into the center of the net. 2-1 United, but in the 84th minute, Liverpool fans held their breath!
United had been caught sleeping, and were punished. Now could they rekindle the passion and desire that had given them the initial lead? It was a question of devotion and mentality: would they sit back and weather the storm, hoping to avoid magic from Cisse, Morientes, or Gerrard, who all had an abundance of skill, or would they take the game into their own hands and see out the final minutes? It would be the latter. Gavilan and Fletcher contributed much of the effort, possessing the ball and winning it when it was lost. Park Ji Sung held the ball up near the corner flag, winning a brace of corner kicks. It was Roberto Fabian Crespo who had the last touch of the game, a booming ball in stoppage time that sent the ball back into the depth of Liverpools territory. Nielsen finally blew the whistle, and United had done it! A European and League double in 2010 saw Manchester United a club with a history rich with success get back to their winning ways that had so frustratingly eluded them in the first decade of the new millennium.
The Sun: Fantastic!

Season Five: Manchester United
Community Shield: Manchester United vs. Chelsea
This repeat of the last Premiership match of the previous season had a lot in store for both sides. Which of the two immediate Champions League qualifiers was the better team? Chelsea had a score to settle, after seeing their league hopes ended on the last day of their season by the Red Devils. The prize at stake meant little to most players, but the match meant the world to both sides.
Manchester United Lineup:
GK: Howard
RB: Brown
CB: Ferdinand
CB: Crespo
LB: Heinze (c)
CDM: Gavilan
RM: Ronaldo
LM: Richardson
CAM: Park
ST: van Nistelrooy
ST: Saha
CB/LB/CM: O'Shea
RB: Bisconti
CM: Fletcher
RM: Torres
ST/CDM: Smith
Chelsea Lineup:
GK: Cech
RB: Ferreira
CB: Terry
CB: Gallas
LB: Del Horno
CM: Essien
CM: Lampard
CM: Cole
RF: Duff
LF: Robben
ST: G. Crespo
Chelsea kicked the ball off, and the match was under way. Chelsea looked a better side than the one that placed a narrow second in the previous season. Their ball movement and possession of the ball was impeccable, often dominating the game for lengthy spells that drew some nasty United tackles. Kieran Richardson was the first to get his name taken, as he slid in hard on Ferreira, resulting in the right back limping off injured to be replaced by Carvalho. With Chelsea's depth, this injury did little to slow them down. The Blues - adorned in blue - attacked the red side from the flank, with Duff sending in a cross met by the head of Lampard. Howard was able to knock the ball down with his arm, but the rebound fell to the young Argentine striker, Crespo (not Hernan). Crespo took a touch to bring the ball to him, and struck it from inside the six yard box. But it was Roberto Fabian Crespo who had the last laugh, as he ran himself in front of the ball and headed the ball off the line, where it was cleared by Richardson. What a scare, but what a play from United's Crespo. It would not be the last time that Crespo proved his worth.
In the 43rd minute, United won a corner, and Ronaldo stepped out to take it. He sent the ball in, and it was once again Crespo who was able to get his head on the ball. This time, however, he sent it
the goal, and into the net! 1-0 United, and a good chance to take home the first silverware of the season!
The match came to the break, and was resumed in similar fashion, with United often going without the ball for long periods. However, the champions were able to keep Chelsea's chances to a minimum, only allowing two shots on target, both from Michael Essien. On the second of those shots, the ball was held by Howard, who tossed the ball out to Richardson on the left side. After taking a touch, he lofted the ball 30 yards down the field and to the center of the pitch. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had been unusually quiet for the entirity of the match, raced on with William Gallas as they muscled and fought for the ball. van Nistelrooy won the race, and was promptly tackled by a backtracking Asier del Horno. Red card! With only 10 minutes left, it seemed that the match was over. Park Ji Sung was moved to the left wing, while Fletcher replaced Richardson to play in the attacking midfield spot. Torres walked onto the pitch, exchanging highfives with an exiting Cristiano Ronaldo.
Fletcher's presence in the midfield was felt immediately. He did not have the pace that Park had, but he was able to play many solid through balls that exploited the 3 backs of Chelsea, who were now operating with a 3 man defense and a packed midfield. However, he made one crucial mistake in the 90th minute. Content to waste time, he held the ball up and proceeded to hit a long ball back to Rio Ferdinand. The ball sailed over Ferdinand's head, and the England defender was caught flat-footed as Chelsea's Crespo flew past him to latch onto the ball. He was nearing the edge of the box when a red shirt came flying into the picture, taking the ball off of the striker's foot, and calmly distributing it back to Howard for a clearance. Who else could it be but Roberto Fabian Crespo? His intervention proved to be the last significant event of the match, and United had their silverware! A goal, a last man saving tackle, and a goal-line clearance saw the young Argentine center back receive the Man of the Match. It was clear that the player had immense talent; he was miles above everybody else on the pitch.
Key Stats:
6 bookings (United: Richardson, Brown, Gavilan, Saha) (Chelsea: Essien, Lampard)
1 sending off (Chelsea: Del Horno)
14 fouls (Manchester United 8, Chelsea 6)
Possession: Chelsea 59% - 41% Manchester United
English Premier League: Week 1
August 14, 2010
West Bromwich Albion 0 - 1 Manchester United
A goal from South Korean midfielder Park Ji Sung saw the Red Devils open up their campaign - and away fixture list - with a win. The scoreline flattered Albion, who were saved time after time by a heroic Chris Kirkland.
The Sun: A Great move
August 14, 2010
Javier Mascherano has agreed to sign a contract with Manchester United. "I want to send a clear message to the Manchester United fans," he said. "Have faith in me because I'm coming here to win things. It is true that I had other offers, but playing for Manchester United has been a longheld dream and I want to win more trophies here. I'm here to give everything and will be battling away right from the start, trying to earn a spot in the team." Mascherano's signing brings about a sigh of relief for United fans, who have endured many years of a less than incredible midfield, due in part to a lack of market ambition from Sir Alex Ferguson.
Transfer News:
John O'Shea joins Aston Villa.
English Premier League: Week 2
Manchester United 2 - 1 Liverpool
It was new-boy Javier Mascherano's day in the United limelight, but Louis Saha was the United hero as the Red Devils won a massive early match over their most heated rivals, Liverpool. The first goal came from a Ronaldo cross, as the French striker took it on the bounce and slotted it past Reina. His second came in the 70th minute, as he dribbled around Carragher and proceeded to do the same around Reina, slotting coolly into the net from a tough angle. Minutes later, Liverpool center back Huusko was sent off for a tackle on Saha. However, the Reds were not content to back off, and Steven Gerrard provided some magic with a curling shot from 20 yards out that found the back of the net. With only minutes to play, Djibril Cisse almost leveled the scores with a shot that grazed the post and went wide. This proved to be the last attack of the game, one that saw Mascherano - wearing the number 16 kit - make his mark.
European Super Cup:
Manchester United - Valencia
Park Ji Sung started off the scoring with a 36th minute header on a corner kick that was won by a good save off of the South Korean's initial shot. Just before half, Park, operating behind the two strikers, played Ruud van Nistelrooy through on goal, where he was brought down hard by Edu. The ex-Arsenal man was sent down the tunnel before half-time, and Valencia were down a man.
The second half saw United dominate down the entire pitch. In the 56th minute, van Nistelrooy was brought down 25 yards out from net by the Che defender, Reyes. The Spaniard received a yellow card, but that was not all the trouble for Valencia. Van Nistelrooy stepped up to take the kick from a decent enough angle, and curled it over the wall into the upper corner on the far side, pushing against the side netting! 2-0 to the Champions League winners, and a seemingly impossible task at hand for the UEFA Cup winners.
Indeed, it was impossible for Valencia, despite having 5 good goalscoring chances. The Spanish side were stifled time and time again by Tim Howard, who took the pressure off while United had let down in the second half. New midfield star Javier Mascherano got the last touch on the ball, a perfectly timed crunching tackle on Aimar that sent the ball askew, and the whistle sounded throughout the arena. Early on in the season, United had their second piece of silverware for the year.
English Premier League: Week 3
Arsenal 0 - 1 Manchester United
United, dressed in blue, set out to gain all three points against another strong rival. Arsenal, in their first season without legend Thierry Henry, were not faring so well in the league after two matches, sitting in 13th as opposed to United's 6th. Arsenal created some decent chances, all stemming from the wings, but each cross was denied by the defensive triangle of Ferdinand, Crespo, and Mascherano. Saha, Park, and van Nistelrooy all had shots denied by fine saves, and Portugese winger Cristiano Ronaldo saw his shot glance off the crossbar, and go into the stands. It was not until the 84th minute when the playmaker Park slid a ball between the legs of Lauren, to send Saha in to score his third of the season. The match was to end 1-0 United, bringing them to a 100% 9 points, placing them in 3rd.
Transfer News: August 31, 2010
Two last-minute deals were made involving Manchester United as the transfer window came to a close.
The first was a particularly sad one for many United fans, as the once hot-prospect Guissepe Rossi was sold to Wolverhampton. American-Italian Rossi was once the starlet of United's reserve team, but due to a limited amount of first team exposure, never developed into the player that he could have been.
On a more positive note, the use of Park Ji Sung in an attacking midfield position meant that the only left midfielder was Kieran Richardson, another player who failed to become as great as he could, although he is a useful squad player. In response to this weakness, Mitar Stefanovic was signed. Stefanovic, a 21-year old Serbia and Montenegro international, has blinding pace, incredible dribbling skills, can move the ball well, can strike the ball with great power and accuracy, and to top it all off, he is a great tackler.
English Premier League: Week 4
Manchester United 1 - 0 Bolton Wanderers
Mitar Stefanovic stepped onto the pitch at Old Trafford, sporting the number 11 kit, ready to take on Bolton Wanderers. It is an odd cooincidence that many years ago, it was the young Portugese winger, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was making his United debut against Bolton. Would the young Serbian have a similar future? If Stefanovic could live up to his potential, then he could make his name among the greatest at United, as a somewhat late replacement for Ryan Giggs. Bolton came to play, and introduced Mitar to the Premier League with crunching tackles and fast pace, both of which he could utilise just as well as anyone. As the game progressed, Stefanovic saw less of the ball, although his spurts of possession caused the Bolton defense all sorts of problems, having to deal with well-placed crosses and lengthy runs. However, neither side could make the breakthrough. It was nearing the end of the match when Park Ji Sung played a one-two ball through to Ruud van Nistelrooy at the top of the penalty area, for the Dutchman to slide into the lower corner. His strike would prove to be enough to nudge United past Bolton. Stefanovic impressed, but still has much more to offer.
September 14, Carling Cup - Round 2
Rotherham 0 - 1 Manchester United
What should have been a nothing game for United nearly turned into the first fiasco of the season. Fielding a weak side, the Red Devils dressed in blue, with midfield playmaker Park Ji Sung wearing the armband. The South Korean put in a captain's performance, but even his best passes saw Saha and Smith denied by Rotherham's heroic keeper. In the 86th minute, the Rotherham home crowd were cheering wildly awaiting the final whistle, with the score nil-nil, when the skipper received a ball inside a congested penalty area from Kieran Richardson, and proceeded to hit the ball between two defenders, and around the helpless keeper. 1-0 United, and humiliation was avoided.

I loved having De la Red on my team at San Jose. He was my captain.
In my second season at Manchester United, my wage bill crept up on me and despite topping the table and being alive in all cup competitions, I was fired from the job. I took up the job at Fulham, where there are many experienced EPL players such as Boa Morte, Bocanegra, Malbranque, Rosenior, Zat Knight, Claus Jensen and Papa Bouba Diop. No signings were made, as I felt that the team had enough depth and talent to do well in the table. The board wanted me to finish in the top half of the table, mimicking the desires of my sponsor.
Malbranque---------------------Boa Morte
CB: Rehman
LB: Kim
DM: Rothen
RM: Ambrose
ST: Oliveira
GK: Drobny
LB: Hengbart
CB: Ifil
DM: Brighi
ST: Corvia
ST: Grubisic
In the second match of the season, Bocanegra went down with an injury that will keep him out until February. Kim is now the starting left back, with Hengbart on the bench.
Fulham started off the season at Stamford Bridge, with an impressive 2-0 win over the Blues, with Paulo Ferreira being sent off with 10 minutes to go.
The next match of relevance was against my old club, Manchester United. The 38 year old Solskjaer got United ahead in the first half, but two goals from Rolfe exacted my "revenge" on the club that dispatched my services last season. The young striker Sjanic caused many problems, but couldn't beat Deinoff. Sjanic is only 18 but already tipped to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy, who retired last season.
Other important matches:
Derby 1 - 6 Fulham: The 23 year old striker Oliveira got his first start of the season in mid-September in this League Cup draw, and impressed with a 4 goal display.
Arsenal 1 - 0 Fulham: This London derby match was won by an early goal from Robin van Persie. Fulham dominated the remainder of the match, but were unable to put one in the back of the net.
Manchester United 2 - 3 Fulham: This League Cup match saw Sjanic and Cristiano Ronaldo score in the early stages of the second half, but goals from Diop, Boa Morte and a brilliant crack from Rolfe provided the second win over United of the season.
Liverpool 0 - 5 Fulham: Anfield was not a happy place for Liverpool supporters as 4 Fulham players netted, with Malbranque hitting two.
League Table (as of December 11):
Team (Games, Points)
Fulham (18, 46)
Manchester United (18, 43)
Birmingham (18, 40)
Tottenham (18, 39)

I'm in my 7th season with Leeds now.. I play in the hardest difficulty and have turned them in to a 5 star team.. I've won everything there is to be won and my squad is full of really decent, younger players... I'm quite happy with the Leeds United i've built for myself
And just to add a bit of authenticity to it all, i played around with the managers' head before i started and imported a picture of David Batty in there... I've got the whole 'Former club man returns to save us from the wilderness' thing going.. It's good fun..
My current squad IS..
-------------- P.Robinson
F.Albeda - L.King - V.Kompany - D.Harding
---- S.Derry - X. Alonso - S.Pearson
---------- N.Reo-Coker (c)
-------- A. Smith - O. Martins
B.Hangeland, P.Jagielka, B.Schwiensteiger, F.Fabregas, D.Kuyt
Z.Berbatov, S.Carson, D.Bent, N.Hunt, G.Caldwell, P.Myner
Albeda, Myner, & Berbatov are all 80+ FIFA generated players, and for some reason Derry and Harding have turned in to 90+ players...

In my first season with Fulham, after being sacked by Manchester United for funding reasons, the Cottagers took home the Premiership trophy and the Carling Cup.
The first trophy of my Fulham career came in the Carling Cup, against the Reds of Liverpool. Both teams fielded decent enough sides, but injuries to Bocanegra, Rolfe, and Malbranque meant that not everyone would be celebrating or crying quite so hard at the end of the day. January signings Theo Walcot and Iker Reyes were on the bench, allowing the younger players who got Fulham to the final to play the match. Darren Ambrose was on the right wing while Denis Rothen played as the defensive midfielder. The last time these two met, Fulham won by a score of 5-0, but this match would be enthralling for both sets of supporters. The aging John Arne Riise was lucky to avoid giving away a penalty on a double handball from a corner kick, and more lucky to see a long drive on the opposite end of the pitch bounce off of a Fulham shin and direct into the net to put the Scousers up by one in the first half. In the second half, Rothen was assigned to man-mark Djibril Cisse, who caused many problems and hit the post twice in the first half. While Rothen did well in man-to-man situations, he was constantly outpaced off the ball, and in the 60th minute was replaced by Iker Reyes. The hard tackling Spaniard introduced himself to Steven Gerrard with a sublime tackle, and was able to pick up the ball and distribute to Claus Jensen. From there, Jensen dribbled past a defender and hit a curling effort from 18 yards. The ball seemed to hang in the air for hours until it struck the post! Fulham fans were in dismay until the ball bounced to Oliveira who calmly collected and nutmegged a defender with his shot into the net as an equalizer. From that moment, the 72nd minute, it was all Fulham. Darren Ambrose proved his worth with a brilliant run to beat two men before chipping gracefully over Pepe Reina to take the lead, and the substitute Iker Reyes hit a stoppate time free kick that clipped a Liverpool head and bounced in. 3-1 Fulham, and Fulham had their first trophy under my management.
The Premiership was won on the last day of the season, in a gutsy 4-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur, one of the few teams to oust Fulham earlier in the season. Chelsea had the opportunity to reestablish their dominance by winning on the last day, but lost 2-1 to Everton at the Bridge, to end their season with 93 points. Starting the day with 91 points following a poor run of form in the home stretch, a win was a necessity to capture the title after topping the table for the majority of the season. It was the captain, Luis Boa Morte who shone brightly against Spurs, with two first half goals, one from a 30 yard free kick, and an excellent independent effort. The defensive anchor Iker Reyes hit a scorcher from some distance, and the young striker Oliveira showed his composure while shrugging off two defenders and slotting the ball in off the far post. Oliveira made his debut against Derby in September and introduced himself with 4 goals, but struggled to find consistency as a substitute. However, he found a starting role in the second half of the season. Eddie Rolfe, in February, was leading the league in scoring by a great margin, but was unlucky to suffer a broken collarbone against Rotherham in the FA Cup, after netting a brace. He was surpassed in the scoring department by teammate Steve Lovell, and by a few other players including Frank Lampard and Djibril Cisse. He finished 6th in scoring despite missing every match from mid-February on. Lovell won the Golden Boot with 47 goals, and Oliveira finished the campaign with an impressive 20.
The final match of the season was the FA Cup Final, against Sheffield United. The Blades had a solid midfielder in Timo Buck, a highly regarded German who was the ideal replacement for Michael Ballack in the German squad. Despite Buck's best efforts, Sheffield could not halt the pressure of a Fulham side including, in his first game back from injury, Eddie Rolfe, and other new stars such as Theo Walcot and Iker Reyes. However, noone, not even Rolfe could beat Garry Paddy in net for the Blades, despite 16 good shots from 20 good chances. Paddy was again the hero in extra time, when he made the play of the game. Reyes dispatched a free kick on the edge of the box, and hit a hard ball with some swerve, seemingly labeled for a Fulham Domestic Treble, but somehow Paddy made the leap to the post and pushed it off the upright. All seemed worthless for him when it fell to Claus Jensen, but the midfielder stood in amazement as his shot at an empty net was pushed aside by a desperate and exhausted Paddy. A defender received the ball and went to clear it, but kicked it into the shin of Walcot, who flicked a backheel to Reyes who had another go. This time, it hit the arm of a defender. Penalty! It was Boa Morte, the skipper, who would take the kick. He hit a laser beam to the top right corner, and all seemed won for Fulham until Paddy made a late reaction dive and pushed it away! Time ran down and it went to penalties!
Round || Sheffield--------Fulham
Round 5: Timo Buck stepped up for the Blades, with the opportunity to give his underdog side the lead and the steps towards the FA Cup presentation shrine. One deep breath later, he was making his run up and hitting the ball - right down the center! In goal, Deinoff looked bemused as he dove to his right, watching the ball float into the middle of the net. GOAL!
It was all on the 23 year old, Theo Walcot. Disbanded from the Arsenal side that paid an 8 digit number for his services so many years ago, Fulham snatched him up from free agency. Why Arsenal let him go for free, nobody knows, as he is now one of the league's top wingers. But history aside, he had one more kick left in this match to determine whether his name would be printed in fame or infamy. Three steps left, now two, now one, and BANG, Walcot hits the ball hard to his left. Paddy, who shone so brightly throughout the entire match, prolonged his form and dove low to his right, pushing the ball aside! Before anyone could analyze the situation at hand, the league winners and Carling Cup winners being upset by the Championship's Sheffield United, Paddy was celebrating with his teammates, and Timo Buck was jumping in jubilation. 11 heads were hung low just some meters away, and they were wearing the red of Fulham.
However, the season in general was a success. I disbanded some of the extra players who had little future at the club, primarily two surplus strikers. I took a team that had no participation or aspirations of European competition and outlasted - albeit with some luck - a solid Chelsea side and a brilliant Manchester United side. I won another trophy, one that has significance for a club of Fulham's size, to prove that the league wasn't a one-off. I was unlucky to not win the most prestigious domestic cup in the world, thanks only to an unbeatable goalkeeper. Success is good.
Let's go Korea!

Painting Satin Finish
Anyone paint a wrangler a satin finish? I like the look of something slightly brighter than primer and easier to touch up than gloss.
Any pictures?
Are you talking on the body or on the fenders/bumpers, door handles and such?
The whole dern thang.
anything other than flat touches up like crap. ive been a paint professional for 11 years. its noticeable if you try to touch up because it heightens the gloss on the area you touch up making it noticeable. flat is the way to go if you want to be able to touch up unless you are going to paint a full section then you can use satin
Ok so how do flat jeeps look?
How about just having it vinyl wrapped?
There is a flat/matt black TJ around my neigborhood that looks awesome. It has however been wrapped and the shiny black paint is still perfect underneath. Proper 3M or Avery Denison vinyl has several years warranty as well and is very tough.

Satin black home painted with a HVLP spray gun
That's a beauty. How bout retouching?
Re-touching is very simple. Depending on the area, I use an airbrush that I use to paint my scale RC Tanks. I used 5 coats of satin black paint, and I still have about 40% of a Gallon paint can. That's the beauty of using a High Volume Low Pressure spray gun.
@ acrijos. Where did you get the paint? Who makes it? And last did you spray on a clear coat?
That satin black looks awesome! I saw the show "West Coast Customs" do a JK in a Satin black wrap with Orange lettering/logos that turned out cool too!
Good question, what is the paint brand?
Thanks! :)

Emmy SNUBS: Shows I'm not afraid to admit I like...
...but will never win any awards.
I'm not an "awards show" guy, but I concede that there is good TV (Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, etc) and "other TV".
While I enjoy the high-minded shows, there are times where I just want to watch people run an obstacle course, or get bad tattoos.
Here's my list of shows that I enjoy watching, while recognizing that they're pretty crappy.
1) Ink Master (I'm always hoping the tattoos are horrible).
2) Beyond Scared Straight (just once, I want the inmates to hit the children).
3) Pawn Stars (except the scripted Subway "skits").
4) American Ninja Warrior (it's mindless and repetitive).
What are some of yours?

Do click here to watch Kinnell read "Wait"
for The New Television Workshop.
Wait, for now.
Distrust everything, if you have to.
But trust the hours. Haven't they
carried you everywhere, up to now?
Personal events will become interesting again.
Hair will become interesting.
Pain will become interesting.
Buds that open out of season will become lovely again.
Second-hand gloves will become lovely again,
their memories are what give them
the need for other hands. And the desolation
of lovers is the same: that enormous emptiness
carved out of such tiny beings as we are
asks to be filled; the need
for the new love is faithfulness to the old.
Don't go too early.
You're tired. But everyone's tired.
But no one is tired enough.
Only wait a while and listen.
Music of hair,
Music of pain,
music of looms weaving all our loves again.
Be there to hear it, it will be the only time,
most of all to hear,
the flute of your whole existence,
rehearsed by the sorrows, play itself into total exhaustion.
–Galway Kinnell, 1927-2014
Mortal Acts, Mortal Words

Curator's note (from ayearofbeinghere): Galway Kinnell, one of our mindfulness poets, died this week from leukemia at the age of 87.
Kinnell wrote this poem for one of his students who was contemplating suicide after a failed relationship. After describing the circumstances of its creation during an interview, he said, "I rarely write poems for a specific person. I don't write them to unload my emotions. I write them because they come to me and they seem to embody something that I didn't quite know before and I try to perfect them and if somebody asks me why are you doing all that work? I say, for beings."

Stolen Goat's Climb & Conquer Deep Winter Tights are designed for of deep winter riding where the emphasis is on retaining heat in your legs and muscles. Featuring a pro developed chamois for extra comfort.
|Full Length
|Fleece Lined:
|Foot Loops:
Water repellent and windproof outer layer
Designed for those consistently cold days to keep you dry and warm even when you face an unexpected shower or road spray, due to the overall water repellence of bib tights. This Tempest Protect fabric provides both a wind & waterproof shell to give you the confidence to keep you riding throughout the winter, on or off road. Designed for facing the very worst that winter can throw at you.
Compressive fit with four way stretch fabric
The four way stretch fit molds to your body shape and the compressive nature of the fit provides muscle support and ensures that both short length and chamois pad retain position in and out of the saddle. An integrated back, generous straps and elasticized band at the bottom of the leg (rather than silicone grippers that pull skin/ hairs at ankle level) maximize body comfort.
Integrated Back Panel
Integrated back panel helps wick moisture away from your torso whilst you're working hard. This regulates your body temperature adding an extra layer of comfort mile after mile.
Soft brushed lining
The soft fleece-like Roubaix lining is comfortable against the skin.
Pixel100 detailing
The rear pockets are made of Pixel100 fabric. Subtle in design, it's a fabric that packs a punch, in adverse conditions and deteriorating light, by reflecting a light source like car headlamps when side on. A perfect addition should you want to increase your visibility at night without compromising the look of the tights during the day.
Pro developed chamois
It isn't just a bit of foam to protect your undercarriage; it can make or break your ride (and possibly your backside!). We use a pad developed for and used by pro riders which has been rigorously tested to define the optimal position and fit for all day riding. The fast drying anti-bacterial pad benefits from dimple technology to improve airflow to help keep you comfortable even on the hottest of days.
Stolen Goat was formed in 2012 with the mission of bringing everyday cyclists a bespoke collection of awesome cycling products. All stolen goat products are designed to offer you incredible performance and incredible value.

Russian missiles are in Syria now, the S-300 air defense missile has been deployed to Syria again. According to the TASS, Russian troops need missiles for defending and rebuffing any threats that may come from terrorists.
On Thursday, the Syrian ambassador to Russia, Riyad Haddad in his interview to Rossiya 24 channel told:
"S-300 complex is really deployed in Syria."
The Ambassador explained that the S-300 will help the Syrian Army to defend itself from the threats that may come from the jihadists. That's why deploying S-300 missiles pursues two main and clear goals: i) an assuring the security of Russian troops in Syria, ii) helping the Syrian Army to fight with ISIS and terroristic elements.

The board of the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has appointed Tidjane Thiam to be the association's next chairman.
Thiam, who is currently group chief executive of Prudential, will take over the reins from Tim Breedon of Legal & General, who steps down next month.
"I am honoured to be chosen as chairman of the ABI, particularly in succession to Tim Breedon, who has done an outstanding job in refocusing the organisation to face the challenges of a changing world. I am looking forward to working with Otto Thoresen, who has brought a wealth of experience and leadership skills to the ABI," said Thiam.
"Insurance is one of Britain's business success stories and it continues to provide jobs, security and much of the long-term investment that drives economic growth. It remains one of our most important invisible export earners.
"Insurers need to continue working together in close partnership with government and regulators to find solutions to the challenges we collectively face – supporting our customers in a time of unprecedented austerity and developing practical policies that will promote sustainable growth."

"A young man comes for the princess." Moira whispered.
"I have seen him. He rides towards her as we speak. Each moment brings him closer." The goblin said
"Good," Moira breathed as fog spread across the glass.
That night Moira followed Ulrich in her dreams. She watched as he presented the Queen with the heart of a pig, false proof of the Princess' death. The Queen smiled and laughed, grasping the bloody organ in her hand and pulling Ulrich to her for a deep kiss. Moira was pulled from her sleep by the Queen's summons.
"Good Morning, sister. You and your husband have pleased me." The Queen said, barely able to contain her glee.
"Yes, your Highness."
"I've sent Ulrich to track a party of foreign men coming to threaten my right to rule." said the Queen
"Foreign men?"
"Yes, from the east. The Vardinons, along with their bannermen." said the Queen.
"Their sigil…"
"A rose on a field of white, but that isn't important. I have more pressing matters I wish to speak of." The Queen stood in her dressing gown, absentmindedly brushing out her long blond hair.
"Of course." said Moira.
"I wish to know whether or not I can trust the members of my small council. They are soft old men, each of them. I begin to doubt their love for me." said the Queen.

Laundry Powders 2015
Posted by Canstar Blue May 1st 2015
You are viewing the archived 2015 ratings for laundry powder. Go to the current laundry powder ratings.
Compare washing powder brands using our customer satisfaction ratings comparison of laundry detergent.
* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings. Brands with equal overall satisfaction ratings are listed in alphabetical order.
Canstar Blue research finalised in April 2015, published in June 2015.
See our Ratings Methodology.
Most Satisfied Customers | ALDI Almat
We've found that ALDI Almat washing powder was the highest-scoring in overall satisfaction, securing our maximum five star rating to be awarded our Most Satisfied Customers Award – Laundry Powder.
ALDI cleans up our Most Satisfied Customers award in 2015
Powdered laundry detergent is a convenient long-term option for getting beautifully clean clothes time and time again. You can buy it in large quantities and store it away knowing it'll be useable for months afterwards, and it's often more concentrated than equivalent liquid products. In order to decide which laundry powder brand is providing the best overall product, we've tracked the satisfaction of thousands of Aussie customers in areas such as value, environmental friendliness, cleaning quality and more.
We've found that ALDI Almat washing powder was the highest-scoring in overall satisfaction, securing our maximum five star rating to be awarded our Most Satisfied Customers Award – Laundry Powder. The supermarket chain also achieved a four-star rating for their Trimat detergent brand, with other brands Radiant, Biozet Attack and Earth Choice doing well to achieve the same rating – the latter won our award for Liquid Detergent. Behind them came three-star ratings for Omo, Fab, Dynamo, Cold Power, Surf and Duo.
Several brands also topped the scores in individual criteria – see how they went in our comparison.
Value for money
Our research showed that Aussies spend an average of just over $12 when they buy laundry detergent, but the frequency we go through it means that small differences in value can have a big impact in the long run. Overall winner ALDI Almat was the best value product on the market according to the customers we talked to, scoring five stars to beat likes of four-star achievers Earth Choice, Radiant, Biozet Attack, Fab, Duo and other ALDI brand, Trimat.
Quality of clean
The effectiveness of your laundry detergent is pretty much its most important characteristic, so it was unsurprising that our eleven surveyed brands performed consistently well here. ALDI Almat and Radiant shared the five-star honours, with customers being most satisfied with the quality of cleaning they provided. All but three other brands secured impressive four-star ratings, suggesting there are a range of good products on the market besides the aforementioned winners; Dynamo, Surf and Duo were behind the rest with three-star cleaning ratings.
Number of washes
Even if you've payed bottom dollar for a big box of washing powder, it won't do you much good if you have to use it up quickly. The number of washes you get from a box of laundry detergents depends on factors such as the concentration, chemicals used and of course, how much you bought, so buying a massive container of your favourite product won't always guarantee it lasts for ages. ALDI dominated the long-lasting laundry stakes, with both their Almat and Trimat brands securing five stars. Six other brands were next with four stars – Earth Choice, Radiant, Biozet Attack, Fab, Omo and Duo – with the remainder achieving three.
Environmental friendliness
Harsh, non-biodegradable chemicals in cleaning products are mostly thing of the past, with manufacturers recognising the need to provide safe products to their customers. Most brands are now a lot more benign in the environment stakes; unsurprisingly though, it was Earth Choice which claimed a five-star victory here. Further good results were recorded by both ALDI brands, Radiant and Biozet, each of which achieved four-star satisfaction ratings for their lack of environmental impact; the remaining brands had three-star ratings.
Nobody wants their clothes to come out of the wash smelling worse than they went in, which is why most companies make sure their laundry detergent has a nice, appealing scent. The Aussies we surveyed were most satisfied with the smell of Radiant and Fab, with the two scoring five stars. The four-star achievers consisted of both ALDI brands in addition to Earth Choice, Surf, Omo and Biozet, whilst the remaining brands finished with three stars.
Feel of clothes after wash
Like the smell factor above, the feel of your clothes following a washing cycle is another tangible outcome which speaks volumes about the quality and effectiveness of your chosen laundry detergent. Satisfaction results were fairly consistent again in this area, with Radiant achieving the five-star rating and all but three other brands scoring four stars; the remaining three-star rated brands were Dynamo, Surf and Duo.
Frequently asked questions
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10. Not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The ratings table is first sorted by star ratings and then alphabetically. A rated brand may receive a 'N/A' (Not Applicable) rating if it does not receive the minimum number of responses for that criteria.

Abby: Girl Talk
Emily had just settled cross-legged on the end of her bed with her ipad between her knees when a light rap sounded on her door.
"Who is it?" she called as she looked up, deciding that she wouldn't bother getting up if it was that annoying Marcus guy. He was cute, but still annoying.
"It's Gabby. May I come in, please?"
Emily hopped off the bed and walked quickly to the door. She didn't want to keep the lady in charge waiting. She opened the door for Gabby, who looked like a twenty-year-old today, with long auburn hair that fell in loose ringlets down her back almost to her waist. She was carrying one of those wooden tray-like things with legs that you use for giving meals to someone in bed.
"Hi Emily," she said. "I brought some snacks. I thought we should have a little chat about your lineage, and what it means to you. We can camp out on your bed, if you're okay with that."
Emily nodded, and Gabby strode purposely toward the bed. She was wearing a long psychedelic sleeveless top with tie dyed bell bottomed scruffy faded jeans with Peace symbols hand painted all over them. She was barefoot. She hopped lightly onto the bed and settled cross-legged with the tray balanced securely between her knees. Emily climbed onto the bed and knelt in front Gabby.
"Cool duds. I'm not sure I've ever seen a combo like that," she said.
"Of course not,"Gabby laughed. It's from the 1960's decade. I love the music and the style. Not to mention that I was very busy during that period trying to prevent Armageddon, along with the rest of this organization. No-one but us knew how very close the forces of evil came to tearing our planet to pieces - literally. Anyway, I brought popcorn, peanuts, and chips. The silver ice bucket holds gingerale, root beer, cola, and cherry soda. There's some onion dip nestled in among the ice somewhere, too. Help yourself."
Emily leaned over and pulled a bottle of iced tea out of the bucket. As she twisted off the cap, Gabby opened the bag of chips, and placed the aforementioned onion dip on the bed between them, then opened a bottle of cherry soda. After taking a long swig, she nibbled on a chip and looked at Emily in an open and friendly manner.
"You just discovered that you're descended from one of the children of Kronos, Father of time, " Gabby said as a statement of fact, not a question. Emily wondered how she knew that. Either she was psychic, or there were security cameras everywhere. Emily rather guessed the latter, but she didn't ask, she just munched on potato chips, waiting for Gabby to get to the point.
"Kronos had seven children: Zeus, Hera, Hestia, Hades, Poseidon, Demeter and Aphrodite. You're not from the Zeus line, but it's up to you to research which line you do belong to, and what the implications are for you, personally. Meanwhile, I'm here to help you understand what your capabilities are, and how you've already used them in moments of crisis without realizing you were doing it. When you were eighteen, you were told that you had no time left, that you were going to die – but you didn't. Do you know why?"
"The doctors were wrong."
"No, they weren't. You manipulated time. You gave yourself more time than what would have been your destiny as a human. The blood of your divine ancestors kicked in to save you. There was a time when you where overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the city, and all the frantic movement around you. You wished everything would just slow down for a few minutes for you to catch your breath, and cross a busy street without being bumped into, or have a foot run over by a stroller wielded by a harassed mommie in a hurry. You wished it, and it happened, without realizing that it was you that made it happen. It was like everything around you was moving in slow motion, but you didn't. You crossed the street and walked to your job without being pushed, nudged, or run over. You were able to relax and start your day on a less stressful level."
"I remember that, now. I had completely forgotten it. I looked back, and the lady with the stroller hadn't even crossed the street yet, and I was almost to my destination already. I just gave my head a quick shake, and everything started moving fast again. You must have been watching me."
"Yes, but only when you used your abilities. It wasn't very often. You can make time slow down, or speed up without affecting your own personal time capsule. There's more to it than that I expect, but that's all that you've used of your powers so far."
"Wow. I had no idea. I'm glad that's cleared up. I was wondering what I was doing here."
Emily leaned forward and picked up the jar of peanuts. She was going to enjoy learning more about herself and her powers.

bad luck, bad lightbulbs, or bad problem?
We seem to be replacing light bulbs rather frequently. Is this just bad luck, or should we be exploring other causes?
Try to be a little more specific. Same fixture? All fixtures? Type of bulb? Off brand bulb? What's frequently?
People stomping around on the floor above?
Your house being close to the pole transformer?
i'm afraid you may have angered the light bulb fairy. she's siccing gremlins on you.
If you're talking about those 40 or 60W candelebra base that fit some vanity lights, they do burn out much more frequently than normal bulbs. Their small size usually means a hotter bulb.
I am thinking of replacing my fixtures with fluorescents.
Check your line voltage. If it's higher than 120, the bulbs probably won't last as long.
I think some big companies are greedy and intentionally are making them not last so long so they can make more money. Buy a different brand or get LED bulbs which should never burn out and also save electricity.
LED light bulbs (google)...
The only thing I can think of would be that close to the transformer, the voltage is highest, since POCO probably considers line drop over the greatest distance from the transformer, and being closer would result in a lower IR drop for you.
I had this problem with br30's from Home Depot. I would buy them a case at a time and would always be replacing them. So what I did was called the manufacturer of the bulbs and they sent me a refund for the lights. All I had to do was put all of the old light bulbs in the box they came in and send it to them. They even paid for the shipping. Needless to say I do not buy that brand of light bulbs from there anymore.
when I switched the brand they last alot longer.
Good luck
First you have to understand the theory and history of light bulbs!
Here is a good link. http://www.btinternet.com/~homepage/dark.htm
Oh no! I knew it was true. The old light bulb conspiracy theory is alive and well, glad to know there's others out here that agree with me!
you mean big companies are greedy and intentionally are making them not last so long so they can make more money? really???? ya THINK???
Loose service neutral? Loose neutral on a MWBC? (Common theme being a loose neutral...)
I'm no expert--I'm far, far, far from it--but I'm a smart guy, and the theory that a loose neutral could cause over-voltage makes 100% sense, so check this angle out. (Maybe take a meter and do some voltage checks on your circuits, especially the sockets that are blowing bulbs...)
GOOD POINT! i thought someone had already said that, but the only one close was KE2KB!--> "Check your line voltage. If it's higher than 120, the bulbs probably won't last as long." i guess to US, the next step should be obvious, but thanks for bringing it up as we have no idea if the OP knew! good one.
If the load on one leg is a lot higher (lower resistance) than that on the other, the bulbs on the leg with higher resistance would see higher than 110 if the neutral were to come loose.
If it's an intermittent problem, should show up as lights flickering brighter and dimmer.
If a lot of the bulbs were changed at once (maybe to put in a different spectral tone) then they will fail around the same time.
Also, if you leave them burning all the time, incandescents fail in about 4 weeks. 1000 hours isn't all that long.

We were blown away by The Hulk, the kids had a ball, and were absolutely captivated from the moment he walked in " 90 mins is a long time to keep 24 kids entertained and Simon did it with ease. His mask never left his face and the kids were rapt.

The party was wonderful and the entertainer was amazing. It was an awfully hot day, it reached 45 degrees where I live, but the whole time she did not stop, she was full of energy and my little boy was laughing so hard. She had the patience of a saint with a few difficult kids, and kept them all entertained the whole time. I couldn't be happier! I will definitely be using (...) Read more
Elsa and AnnaBy Kellie on 13/12/2016 1:52:30 PM
We were absolutely thrilled with the entertainers and how both my kids parties went. 'Elsa' and 'Anna' were fantastic and really made everyone feel special, especially the birthday girl and her little sister. All the kids had an amazing time and so did the parents, watching their excited little faces. Thanks again for your professional service.

"Want to grow out your hair or try a new color or cut? Talk to your stylist and start experimenting now."This one proved to be a challenge. First of all, I wasn't quite sure I wanted to do ANYTHING new with my hair. This is what my hair looked like (on a good day) before I began my year with out mirrors.
|FYI, I am the chic. The dude is my fiancé, Michael.
And then I thought about it a bit more, and realized that I've really missed the small ways I typically experiment with my hair on a weekly basis. As a shower-at-night kind of gal, I've typically woken up in the morning, peered into my bathroom mirror, assessed the state of affairs, and decided at that time whether it would be a hair-up day, a hair-down day, a messy bed-head day, a sleek and smooth day, or some other variation in styling.
My hair-styling habits have been based on this pattern of visual assessment. Now that I can't see myself I've become fairly impotent with brush, dryer, and my various hair-gooks. And so, this is what my hair probably looks on 95% of days since the project started.
|If you're wondering, YES. I drink wine constantly.
It helps me cope with the anxiety of not knowing
whether my ponytail is smooth or bumpy.
And so today's assigned task became more intriguing. How could I experiment with my hair in a way that actually gave me some creative pleasure, without doing anything stupid or expensive? I was wary to make my hair-styling situation any more complicated or mysterious, so getting new haircut seemed foolhardy. New hair color was also axed, since I like my natural color and am not interested in making a drastic change just to have something to write about. Simply styling my hair differently (or at all!) seemed promising, but sadly lacked the potential of enjoying my creative expression. I was stumped.
And then a friend suggested that I "try one of those online makeover websites." AHA! A quick google search landed me on www.taaz.com, and within minutes I had uploaded my plain ponytail photo and was experimenting away! Risk: low. Creativity: high! Here are a few or my favorites, inspired by The Knot's suggestions.
1) "grow out your hair"
|Okay, yeah.. you can't see how long it is, but trust me - it's LONG!
2) "try a new color"
|Ummm... I kind of love it!
3) "or cut"
|Can I add the bangs, but keep my length? Inspired...
Yep, this was completely awesome. Not only did I get a huge endorphin rush from all my creativity, but I surprised myself by developing a girl-crush on myself with Tila Tequila's coppery shade. I decided to take her out on a date, so I added a dose of "tasteful yet sexy" makeup for a bit of pizazz. What do you think??
|Holy moly, THIS IS REALLY FUN!
