By FRANCO PANIZO
Zero wins in more than half a season.
That was the situation FC Nurnberg found themselves in heading into their first game back from the Bundesliga's winter break, but a goal from Timmy Chandler helped change that as it set the tone for an emphatic victory.
Nurnberg picked up their much-anticipated first win of the campaign on Saturday, overwhelming Hoffenheim, 4-0, at Grundig-Stadion in their first game of 2014. Chandler netted the winner in the first half of the match, scoring his first of the season on a deflected shot that skipped just inside the near post and sent the home crowd into a frenzy.
Chandler also contributed defensively, going the distance at right back and picking up a yellow card in the cleansheet win. Fellow German-American Fabian Johnson started and played 45 minutes for Hoffenheim, leaving the game because of a hand injury.
While the victory was Nurnberg's first in what has so far been a miserable season for the club, it did not pull it out of the relegation zone. Nurnberg are in 17th place on 14 points, two shy of the relegation play-off spot and three from safety.
Here is the goal:
What do you think of Chandler's goal? Should Klinsmann call him up to the March friendly and get a closer look? Hoping Chandler makes it onto the World Cup squad this summer?
Share your thoughts below.
USMNT Fan
Chandler definitely deserves a call up based on his performances, but we know Klinsmann won't. Now we're stuck with the likes of Evans and Parkhurst at RB.
They suck…cuz?
….cause they can't handle international, let alone, WC speed of play. That pretty much sums it up
Where has Chandler been? USA finished the top of qualifying w/o the lad. Dream on Klinsy makes a switch now.. yeah gooch is in too…?
Yeah Brad Evans was adequate… against teams like Panama and Jamaica. Too bad out World Cup group doesn't include those powerhouses of CONCACAF. Chandler plays RB in Germany, whereas Evans doesn't even play RB for the Sounders in MLS… who faces weekly competition at RB more closely comparable to the national teams of Germany, Portugal, and Ghana in your opinion, genius?
The Imperative Voice
Evans is a little bit of a dark horse although I'd prefer Chandler. But Parkhurst is relatively immobile and tries to get by on soccer IQ. Like Spector without the crossing.
Right. He's just dying to play for us. And he's on the verge of being a Bundesliga2 player.
Chandler – misses Gold Cup and plays in games in the Bundeslinga
Parkhurst – makes Gold Cup and doesn't make the bench for games in Bundeslinga.
Anyone think that he actually did the smarter move? He is playing and looks like a good candidate for the USMNT RB. The Gold Cup screwed over a lot of USMNT players. Brek Shea misses preseason for Gold Cup and doesn't dress for Stoke. Joe Corona loses starting spot in Mexico after going to Gold Cup. Stuart Holden gets injured playing in the Gold Cup. Onyewu gets injured in Gold Cup.
While we all like to think that the USMNT is the most important team to play for, you make a living off of your club team. Maybe Chandler was just looking to further his club career. His coach has been on his tail lately, maybe over the summer the coach told him he needed preseason.
Chandler is a USMNT player. There are no other options for him. He has been quoted saying that he wants to play. All this talk about him hating play is so extreme. I understand he was confused at age 21 whether to represent the USA or Germany, but he made his decision. He committed to the USA. Let's call him in now and see if he says no.
To been fair Parkhurst was on a far better team then Nurnberg who only got there first win of the season today.
What about the Gold Cup breathing life into Donovan? And Edgar Castillo!
The Imperative Voice
Donovan was getting the Klinsi motivational treatment, I think few among us actually believe he stinks. Castillo gets burned too much.
Well I guess Chandler will be even better for his club if he doesn't go to the World Cup.
The Garrincha
Who ever That_Guy is get's a +10 for Pele.
A very good observation regarding Gold cup versus club.
Yes and it would be good to have Timmy back. If I recall correctly Chandler was one of the first German Americans to join USMNT this century. In fact I believe it was Bob Bradley who fist capped him.
It is great to see him fit and in form again.
Remember Honduras?, Everyone played below their standard, but Timmy looked like he was lost in the Mosquito Coast. In the end Timmy is a truly talented R-Back who attacks and tracks with real ability.
I think you're forgetting one Geoff Cameron…
Its strange how often the guy starting every week at right back in the Premier league is left out of the discussion.
The Garrincha
Who's forgetting Cameron?, He is a lock, and is our defensive jack of all trades. RB/CB/DM etc. He will most probably start all contests, however maybe not always at the same position.
The Imperative Voice
Cameron is more athletic than he is bright. If you put him together with Parkhurst you'd have a complete player.
And Gooch scored today. World Cup selection is going to be very interesting
I think lots of questions will be answered by our roster against Ukraine. It's in Europe and an official date so whether or not TC (or Gooch, LIchaj, Ream for that matter) are in JK's plans will be evident at that point.
The Imperative Voice
Based on the current political state I'd not necessarily assume Ukraine is played.
I scored a couple weeks back in my O-40 indoor rec league. Klinsi should give me a call.
The Imperative Voice
I don't know. Klinsi won't ignore form but he's usually pecking order minded and there's little time to reverse that. Plus I think it's dangerous to pick people based solely on a few games worth of streak when you have an established team. You might put a striker on the team on that basis because it's a productivity spot. But backs whose down-ebb would not only be off form but maybe cost you goals? That's risky.
1.cameron 2. Chandler 3. Yedlin
Please be this come world cup time
JK has given no reason to believe Cameron will be used at RB. The difference between Cameron and Omar or Brooks is too great to move him.
Other then he started Cameron at right back in the last match the US played?
That was against Austria the second of two friendly matches a couple of days apart.
Evans started the first one against Scotland and was replaced late by Lichaj.
Cameron started the second one and was replaced late by Lichaj.
One could be forgiven for thinking it was a pre-determined rotation.
While I'm excited about yedlin's future and I love his overlapping runs, the dude would get burned at the WC. His main nock against him has been his defense and playing teams like Portugal and Germany? That's a recipe for disaster.
Rough day for the Hoff keeper!
I expect Chandler to be in the Ukraine game and we will see after that. It would be unfortunate to see a guy like Brad Evans loose his spot to Chandler…
Nic D "the TX 2 stepper"
Why? Because he's a hard worker and super committed to the shirt and even more a vastly less accomplished and inferior player.
Yeah. It would be unfortunate that the better player was chosen.
waiting to see him in an upcoming friendly! Klins will be putting the best (in form) 11 on the field so if Chandler keeps it up he is in good position. Nice goal and hope to see Chandler continue his strong play.
Stir Crazy
I wonder what we would look like in a 3-5-2 with Chandler on the right and Johnson on the left. Beasley and Castillo could spell there on either side as well
Joe C.
I think that would be extremely interesting. Bradley and Jones playing underneath Donovan in a more advanced role? Altidore up top with Deuce floating around working his magic? Cameron, Besler, and Gonzo on the back line.
Sadly, I'm not sure we'll be switching tactics any time soon, but it's a fun thought experiment.
Stir Crazy
Yeah, agreed. Maybe for the Copa in 2016?
Good Jeremy
I'm not trying to spread random rumors about Chandler, but he seemed to be doing just fine with the national team until an article came out nine months ago detailing a lot of drama with the national team. This was about the same time that we were struggling early in qualifying and a lot of people were questioning if Jurgie had any idea what he was doing.
The gist of the article was that there was significant friction in the locker room because a handful of unnamed German-Americans weren't committed to the US and were only there because Jurgie played favorites.
The team went on a tear after the report came out, and I don't think Chandler has been called up since that article was reported. Come to your own conclusion.
"the report came out, and I don't think Chandler has been called up since that article was reported. Come to your own conclusion."
That should be "jump to your own conclusion". Correlation is not causation.
You've conveniently ignored the fact that the "report" came out after Chandler put in a putrid performance in the worst game of the JK era. The kind of performance that gets you dropped and perhaps run out of town had it been for a club team.
Good Jeremy
Thanks for the English lesson. If we are being needlessly condescending, the period should come before the quotation mark at the end of the quoted phrase.
I'll stick with my gut on this one. I doubt that Chandler gets dropped for nearly a year because of one bad performance. The rest of the team was also playing horribly at that point, so why wouldn't they get dropped too?
I think Chandler was listed to be called in a couple times but he somehow got "injured" walking off the field. Klinsmann just got tired of whatever games him or the club were pulling and decided it wasn't worth it.
Since Honduras Chandler has not really not played well enough to get called up until recently.
Other factors to consider are that Nuremberg have been in trouble all season and that Verbeek has called JK an A++hole.
No love lost there.
Besides if you think JK was bothered by that article, which was a positive thing for him, then you know very little about JK's history.
Mr J,
You are criticizing my punctuation and grammar in response to my criticizing your ideas?
I'll take that trade every time.
Good Jeremy
Pot, this is kettle.
Read the second sentence in your first post please.
"Veerbek" the head coach is good at getting teams to play attacking soccer.
I was thinking the same thing!!
He coached Jozy and if I am not mistaken was MB90 coach as well.
It's hard to miss his qualities as a coach.
Daryl Lanier
I'd like Chandler to show more commitment. Everyone raves that is so much more talented than our other options, but did anyone watch his last game for us vs Honduras. Timmy was terrible! If that's the Timmy we take to Brazil we are in trouble. Period.
@Good Jeremy: Yes, you are correct on grammar. And, yes, GW does tend to needlessly condescend. Irritating, isn't it? But I guess we should expect that from a genius and be thankful for the wisdom 🙂
Anyway, just wanted to note that Chandler was not doing fine with the USMNT even before the article came out. Before his debacle in Honduras in February 2013 and the Russia friendly in November 2012, he had not played for the USMNT, I think, for over a year. Had been snubbing all of Klinsmann's invitations and also was conducting a heavy-duty PR campaign to try to get Jogi Low's attention for a call-up to Germany. There were some stories in the German press with Timothy seeming to make light of his snubs to Klinsmann, like, ha-ha, look at me. I am turning down the great Jurgen Klinsmann.
I do agree with you that a major undercurrent of the March 2013 (seems like yesterday) mutiny story was Klinsmann's perceived favoritism for the German-born players, and probably a huge chunk of that centered on Chandler. Basically, from the very beginning, Chandler has been a problem (even going back to the Bof Bradley days) and it is not surprising that now that the USMNT has qualified for the World Cup with others carrying the burden and doing the dirty work and just five months until Brazil that Timothy Chandler all of a sudden change his ways and promotes himself as a totally committed to the USMNT in the hope of being gifted one of those 23 precious slots.
Trouble is, his injection into the USMNT equation could be bad for team chemistry, and we all know how important that is. The Gold Cup team last summer in my mind was a model of perfect team chemistry and the senior team the past 6-9 months appears to running mostly smoothly chemistry wise. Does Klinsmann risk that by bringing in Timothy Chandler? We shall see.
Agreed, the report said that the German players isolated themselves from the rest of the group, etc. Somehow I don't see Terrance Boyd or Fabian Johnson isolating themselves or having attitude problems. The problem now is Timothy chandler is obviously our best RB, do you call him in or play with a makeshift defense?
I agree, that Terrence and Fabian have shown total commitment and from all appearances seem to be totally accepted and well liked by all members of the USMNT.
As for Geoff Cameron, during the past five months playing in the best league in the world against world-class competition, he has proved himself beyond a shadow of a doubt to be the best right back in the USMNT player pool. Don't really see how anyone can call using top right back Premier League talent like Geoff Cameron a makeshift defense.
I did not see the Hoffenheim-Nurnberg game yesterday so cannot judge performances. But, if it is correct, that Chandler had a good day, then one good day after 18 months of mostly average to bad performances does not mean that he is now in top form.
Let's not forget that Gertjan Verbeek, current Nurnburg coach and Jozy's old AZ coach, was not satisfied with a long string of Chandler's performances before the winter break and was quoted in the German press saying he would like to bring in a right back in January "who makes us better."
(Last Paragraph)
Yeah, so would be premature after 18 months of bad form to now proclaim that Timothy is in good form. Let's see what happens in coming games. Can he build on yesterday's performance? Or was it just a one-day blip? And as already noted, team chemistry also has to be considered and if bringing in Chandler would inject bad destabilizing vibes in the locker room then Klinsmann will go with other options as Geoff Cameron's back-ups, such as Brad Evans, Parkhurst, Orozco and Lichaj, all of whom are are totally committed to the USMNT and eager to endure long boring sleepless flights to wear the shirt and they are appear to be liked by other members of the USMNT members and would provide good chemistry.
It is disappointing that you think so little of the USMNT players and their professionalism.
The evidence available to us so far is they have been nothing but welcoming to all the other players even though they are all competing for a very small number of available slots.
Either that or they are good at playing well together even if they secretly, or even openly, hate your guts.
Should Chandler be brought in I assume it would be because he has displayed such good form that he cannot be ignored. The USMNT players are pros and one thing about pros, if the new guy clearly makes the team better then there will be little room for argument.
So the suggestion that "chemistry" issues, as in the guys will be resentful if Chandler is brought in and it will hurt the team's performance seem groundless to me.
Besides, the SN article, a net positive for JK, suggested the presence of such factions. If true, then that is great as it proves that the factions have little if any negative effect on the team. The US has lost one competitive game since the article came out and that was most probably because MB30 unexpectedly disappeared 5 minutes before kickoff.
Chandler has proven that if in form he is the best right back in the USMNT pool. At this point if Dolo comes back, he is unlikely to be at his best. Cameron is inferior to Chandler as an attacking player. And for JK, his fullbacks must have as much of that component as possible. And Chandler has shown he knows how to shut people down.
The real "chemistry" issue is that Chandler has not proven that his best can be translated to the USMNT under tournament conditions.
Chandler missed the Gold Cup. He has not played in any of those two in a row, 4 days apart games; the simulated tournament condition games. And Brazil will be a tournament where all those off the field distractions and conditions will be considerable. JK has spent a lot of time getting everyone used all that.
Chandler did not "travel" well to Honduras and I do not see where he will get much opportunity to prove he can handle that aspect before the WC. So as good as he may be, that ship might already have sunk.
That's the big risk with him.
Chemistry does play an important factor…not sure you recall how talented teams from the netherlands always underachieve at world cups and european championships….south africa notwithstanding…
in fact one of the main points made about the netherlands during 2010 was the fact that for the first time they were getting along and playing as a team…
so while yes, we would like to think that professionals will just shut up and play….when it comes to national teams, chemistry is just as big a factor as talent
It is great that you bring up the Netherlands who are as world class ability in soccer is exceeded only by their world class ability in backstabbing and whining.
If backstabbing, self-centered arrogance and prima donna behavior translated directly into talent on the field then the US had better never face the Netherlands.
You are absolutely right about chemistry. Of course that is a concern and JK has been very vocal and very perceptive about it. But it is clear JK and more importantly, the player pool, has a handle on it.
For example, JK did not drop Howard when Guzan was clearly playing better.
Having seen Timmy's putrid 2010 World Cup and knowing his history, he knew that Howard need to be pushed and would likely respond to Guzan's challenges.
Howard is a team leader and my guess is he probably realized that Timmy would probably be a locker room cancer as a backup. Now that he has stuck by Timmy and let him fight his way back to form he has a #1 keeper and a #1A keeper in Guzan who is a better back up that Timmy ever would be since he is much more used to it. Had he dropped Timmy he might have lost him altogether.
That showed me that JK knows how to handle these sorts of things.
biff, who does not rate JK's managing skills, thinks the USMNT players can't handle the relatively minor personnel issue of Chandler, should he be brought in.
I respect both JK and the players more than biff does and think they could handle it just fine.
In Bradley's days there was clearly much more of a divide between the chosen few and the grunts.
Clearly JK has made it a little more even across the board which was what that whole song and dance with LD was all about. If you will notice even LD is now spouting the company line about everyone's job being in in peril and how much better that is.
It seems like the players are all clear that anyone can be cut or brought in and JK is in charge of the locker room.
There may in fact be a nationalist prestonzimmerman faction in there and maybe the Germans are sticking together and maybe the locker room is divided along racial lines. If so that was true before the Sporting News article which hinted at locker room unrest.
And if true, that means these factions have not stopped the team from getting the job done since they have lost only one competitive game since then. And if MB20 does not turn his ankle I doubt they lose the Costa Rica game.
You don't have to love these guys or have them good enough as people to be worthy of marrying your daughters or sisters but they do have to be professional enough get along well enough to win and they seem to be doing a good job of that.
So if Chandler does come on board this team has shown itself professional enough to indicate they can handle it.
Stir Crazy
Why is it that when I read your comments they come out sounding like a man with a Victorian accent?
What does a Victorian accent sound like?

The Best TWSS Stories (All Time)
I was in chemistry class, and we were doing a lab with pennies. We had to take some iron wool and try to make the penny shiny. Mine wasn't working out so well, so my teacher came up to me and said, " You're doing it wrong, you have to push hard and make sure you get in there deep." TWSS.
My friend was in math class and was trying to get some gunk out of a button in her calculator. When the teacher asked her what she was doing she replied "I'm just trying to get this sticky stuff out of my hole." TWSS.
I was working on this math project with my mom today where we had to nail nails into wood. We needed nails with big tops to hold string on and when I put the first one in she said, "No no, its way to thick and those heads are massive, they'll penetrate too far. You have to pull it out before it does any damage." TWSS.
I am a saxophone teacher and one of my students called me complaining that there was something stuck in the instrument. I told her to take a deep breath and blow out the obstruction. She said, "I'm blowing as hard as I can but it's not coming out." TWSS
A coworker and I were fixing a toilet paper rack in the men's room at work. We put in the screws and tried to get the rack on without success. Before I could think, I said,"This thing just won't go in," to which my coworker responded,"Maybe we should switch positions."TWSS.
This morning I got a pop-up from my antivirus software that asked me if I wanted to renew it. I clicked no, and then I got a second pop-up that asked me "Are you sure you want to continue unprotected?" TWSS.
I was showing my friends how I can put out a match by grabbing the flame with two fingers. One of them asked if it hurt. I replied, "it doesn't hurt if you go fast enough." TWSS.
I was in my English class the other day, we just finished the written portion of a test and my teacher says "hand in your papers and we'll start the oral portion" my friend then yells out "but I'm not good at oral!" TWSS.
The other day, a friend of mine was drinking a vanilla milkshake. The milkshake was too thick to go through the straw. She was getting annoyed, and said, "I'm sucking but nothing is coming in my mouth!" TWSS.
My two best friends were exchanging techniques on how to play the Violin. Since I don't play it, I spaced out. After about a minute, I figured they would have changed the conversation.
As soon as I started paying attention, one of them said "You should start slowly, but as your finger moves up, go a little faster and harder" TWSS
I was reading a book called Fail Nation, and there was a picture of a sign that said "Behold, I come quickly." TWSS
I had put a bottle of wine back into the fridge, and after a little while my friend pulled it back out, pointed to the cork and said "you didn't put it in far enough." TWSS.
I was at the Verizon Wireless counter when the guy asked me "So what do you want your phone to be able to do?" I replied, "I just want it to vibrate hard enough so that I can feel it no matter what." TWSS
I was sitting at a football game with my friend watching the marching band play during halftime. The show was taking forever and my friend goes, "Can this be over soon? My butt hurts so bad." TWSS.
i was in class and the teacher asked a kid to pull down the projector. He tried and she said, "Pull it harder. I mean yank it!" TWSS

IP Code
The IP Code (or International Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating*) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. As defined in international standard IEC 60529, it classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof.
The digits (characteristic numerals) indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. For example, an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not be damaged or become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. IP22 or 2X are typical minimum requirements for the design of electrical accessories for indoor use.

Before the Grey:
Chapter 18:
It was a couple of weeks later, in the shiny surface of a toaster that I noticed it. It was shocking at first, in my few years of death my body hadn't changed a bit and now my eyes were some odd shade of amber, the likes of which I had never seen. They were somewhat similar to the shade of gold I had only seen in Jasper's eyes.
I didn't know what to think, I was confused but I didn't think the change was a negative one, in fact I welcomed it. I wasn't offended by the odd looks-
"New contacts?"
"Oh yeah!" I'd say. "Red is just too stereo-typical." One of the many reasons I would come up with to explain it to all the people, but there were four no-bullshit men I couldn't lie to.
"What's up with you? You've been acting like a freak ever since we got here."
Just what the hell was I supposed to say to that? I barely understood what was happening to my own body. Changes were taking place inside my body that I could not rationally explain. God, I felt like a little girl going through puberty all over again- which is a bit rich considering I don't have any memories of being a little girl.
Things continued to get more and more tense in my little family. I began to wonder if it was possible to keep climbing, something had to happen, I just didn't know what that was exactly. It was hardly possible that the climate would plateau. Every day, every moment we spent in each other's company pushed us farther away from each other and closer to the edge. There was no way for me to guess what would come next. Those guys were the only vampires I had established bonds with besides a certain person… who was no longer a person but a bottle of ashes.
At the thought of Victoria I grimace, her memory seems to haunt me. Even in death her hold on me hasn't loosened, hasn't faded. Time and distance really are just illusions.
In the next room, Rick and Dan are in the studio as Aubrey works his magic on his guitar. I never really cared about how the band's differing musical roles come together to produce our singles and albums, it just does. I guess that's what Rick gets paid to worry about. It might sound like my head is just filled with hot air, but really I have to be honest with myself. The only reason I never bothered with the details is because I never planned on being the lead singer of this silly band- I never wanted it. I can't realistically see myself playing this game for too much longer.
To put it simply it is exhausting, we go to great pains to conceal our true selves. What were we thinking -commanding such attention to ourselves? We just want what we can't have, what we can't keep. More and more often than ever before, I find myself loathing the performance, questioning my actions.
I catch the unidentified flying object about an inch before it collides with my face. I look down at it curiously, and I have to say I'm a little confused as to why it – a rock- was thrown at me from across the room. Riley meets my 'what the hell?' look with a blank stare.
"What's up with you huh? I was talking to you for a whole five minutes before I noticed you weren't listening." With that he stands to peer out the window. Another few moments pass before he walks back to the sofa across from me and sits. "Aren't you even worried about Seth?"
"What ever for?" I'm not at all interested in Riley's newest piece of gossip. As the worry-wart of the group Riley has proven time and time again his penchant for melodrama. The dirty looks he sends me is scathing, threatening enough to put starch in my spine. I hold my breath, I don't really think he'll attack but I can't control my instincts.
"Oh come on! Not even you are this dense!" His voice gets a little louder with each word, his hands flutter around as if he doesn't know what to do with them. He looks down withdrawing into himself for a minute and leans forward to rest his elbows on his knees. He rubs his chin, his eyes still troubled.
I can never get used to his personality to tell you the truth, but that was one hell of a mood swing. Either he is seriously troubled, or he is angry about me not listening earlier. I know it's irritating to be ignored but it is even more irritating to be in the presence of someone who acts ridiculously bipolar.
"Do you miss it?" I say testing the waters. I am immediately relieved to see the threat has left his eyes.
"The stubble." He chuckles a bit before shaking his head. Could have fooled me, the way he was rubbing his jaw was a little odd.
"Do I look like a beard kind of guy to you?" I know he was in his late twenties when he was changed but honestly he doesn't look a day past seventeen. The over all boyish vibes he unthinkingly sends makes it almost comical to think of him as a 'man'. His blue-black locks in desperate need of a trim and the cluster of freckles spread across the bridge of his nose -you'd have to be a vampire to see- pretty much kill the bad-ass message he tries to send. But then he is still a vampire, and unearthly beauty or not, a natural menace to society- and people can't help but feel it. Even if they can't know why.
"Does it bother you?" I look anywhere but his eyes, which are steadily growing more intense by the minute. Much more so than what is really within the boundaries of friendly conversation. My eyes settle on his left ear, because I decide that yes, ears are a very neutral part of the body. And therefore a good place to stare when I can't meet his eyes but don't what to let him in on that. "Does it affect you at all to know that the staff around here are dropping like fucking flies?"
His voice is so low and calm, his face is stony and when I meet his gaze what I find there scares me a bit. He isn't the Riley I know in this moment. He is a stranger, and a serious, grave stranger at that. This is someone I don't like at all, a someone who looks at me with a hint of contempt and slight apprehension. I search his face for a second before the creak of the door cracks open the silence.
Asher walks in and runs a hand down his face. He looks tired and jumpy. It is obvious he has just come from the recording room. Anyone would look that way if they had just escaped from the clutches of a malicious and volatile animal. Or in other words he is exhausted from walking on eggshells around Aubrey. It irritates me to no end –he is such a child! No one should have to worry about being shredded to pieces because he can't get a grip. It seems his weird alpha-male complex is almost as much of an issue as his enormous ego.
I stand and turn on the spiked heel of my boot and stride out the door. I let my anger fuel me, ride the wave of my pent-up frustration right out of the room. Even down the hall I here Asher say "What's with her?" and I chuckle after he says, "What's with you?" to Riley. I wish I knew. I'd never seen Riley like that before today.
I walk into the recording studio like I own the place –it's hard to not act like a brat when everyone acts like its perfectly fine to. Almost as hard as trying to stop my knees from getting weak when Aubrey meets my gaze. It's not as if I have told myself time and time again that I can't be attracted to him, unfortunately I am not in control of what my body is inordinately drawn to.
Even though he is behind a wall of glass, perched on a little wooden stool with his guitar in his lap he might as well be snapping at me with his teeth and foaming at the mouth. Even if he doesn't look the least bit angry at the moment, I know he isn't going to be very pleased about why I have come. Dan and Rick punch a few buttons on the sound machine-thingy before pulling off their headphones and starring at me quizzically.
I pull at the edge of my skirt nervously, and then stop because I don't want to encourage the looks they are giving me. "Excuse us gentleman." I say curtly before talking three long strides toward the sound-proof room and open the door. Here is the part where my stomach sinks a little and I begin to wring my hands and chew the hell out of my lip.
Aubrey gently slides off the headphones and sets his guitar to rest against the wood paneling of the wall. He faces me and crosses his arms, "To what do I owe-" He stops suddenly and tilts his head a bit. For a second he looks thoughtful, and he takes a step forward. "Why Bella I haven't seen you this frightened since, well, I've never seen you like this." My eyes are trained straight ahead, to his chest.
I am surprised when he places his hands on my shoulders, but I don't flinch and my breath doesn't catch in my throat and for that I am proud of myself. It seems to be the push I need because before I have second to think about my actions I look up into his startling ruby irises and say boldly, "Does it bother you?"
A single, dark brow raises high on his perfect forehead. I have no idea why I am repeating these same questions Riley asked. I guess I just don't have the guts to speak my mind. "Does it affect you at all to know the staff around here are dropping like…like-" His hand is suddenly cupped around my mouth welding my lips shut.
"A little privacy please?" He hisses to Dan and Rick, who swiftly remove their headphones and look any where but in our direction.
I run a hand through my hair, the reality of what I just did, or what I almost did, overwhelms me. I chuckle softy, "Oops." Aubrey looks down at me warily.
"Oops indeed."
I shove my hand in my pocket and pull out the lint. "Bella, what's this about?"
Holy crow, I'm choking. Figuratively, that is. Choking on my words, kicking myself for charging in here like I was about to conquer the world. "Well you see…"
Suddenly he is laughing, loudly. It catches me off guard and I nearly jump a foot of the ground. "Bella, if you wanted to apologize don't. I don't want to fight anymore, I just want things to go back to the way they were. Before we got here and things got…well, you know, tense." I stared at him. "And not just with you, but with Asher and Riley. They've been acting so impossible lately."
"I can't believe you just said that." It comes up like vomit –unstoppable and leaving me with a sour taste in my mouth.
"What do you mean?" I can't believe the way he looks. As if he's innocent!
"Well you-" I'm scrambling for words "You just act like your going to rip their throats out if they so much as blink wrong." Well so much for tact.
"What are you taking about? I don't act like that."
"Are you serious?" I snort. Aubrey's sunny mood seems to have flown out the window. A dark cloud passes over his eyes, his hands clench into fists. I take a step back, and he takes a step forward which considering his stride is much longer than mine, a single step puts him flush against me.
"Aubrey." I squeak afraid. I put some distance between us but it isn't nearly enough. I can feel the cool wall against my back it does nothing for my nerves.
"You don't see the way they look at you." He says slowly through gritted teeth. His hand ghosts up my side, to my neck, where his thumb rubs circles over my throat. "It's like they are waiting for the right moment. Coiled to spring like a predator, and you-" He chuckles softly, leaning in close his lips caress the shell of my ear.
I take back what I thought earlier, ears are defiantly not neutral territory. They are too close to the neck and jaw. Said body parts are too sensitive, especially when another person is breathing you in, and their lips barely touch you skin. Just barely touching, and yet generating more electricity than I can bear.
"Well you are like a sheep." Slightly insulted my hands fist in his shirt ready to push him away, but he apparently mistakes it for passion. My baleful glare is impossible to misinterpret however, and it makes him smirk. "Soft and unguarded."
"I don't understand." My brow furrows. I don't know whether to laugh or to cry because yes, a vampire and the word soft are a very odd pair indeed. I'm so confused at this point I consider giving up, Aubrey is impossible. He is a mystery, and more than a little insane.
"You don't have to –just as long as I have you... it is enough." Suddenly everything clicks. The reason he doesn't like the Cullens, the reason why he is hostile to Asher and Riley. It's because he thinks I like them more than him. He's jealous.
I want to cry. Part of me knows he is right, he should be worried. He should worry about my relationship with a tall, blond with golden eyes. The same man I haven't stopped thinking about since that night at the club and after when he taught me how to hunt, when he opened my eyes. "That's not a very good reason." I say stupidly. Aubrey's bangs tickle my cheek. I know his lips are seeking mine, I turn my head before he can kiss me. I can't look at him, instead I look up, past the glass and see the two human males staring at us unblinkingly.
I step away from Aubrey, he doesn't say a word, doesn't move. It's an impossible relief when I open the sound-proof door, the two men look startled though and I could just kick myself. I shouldn't have done that in front of Rick and Dan. I have probably just thoughtlessly, wounded Aubrey's pride on top of rejecting him and chiding him. How idiotic can one person be.
The two men however have a different reaction then mine. I can feel more than hear their hearts jump into high gear. I can smell their sweat, deliciously complimenting the wet pounding of their hearts. My legs carry me out of there as fast as they can before something unfortunate happens. I leave the door open a little for Aubrey, so he can breathe. I know he doesn't have my control, and he definitely has no qualms with taking lives.
I can't help but feel like I have made some progress. I did confront Aubrey after all, even if I wasn't as assertive as I would have liked. I can't be like him, I don't get a kick out of making others fear me. It wouldn't make me feel good inside to know people cower when I enter a room.
Riley and Asher are arguing furiously, when I pass the room. Their voices are lowered so much that I can barely hear them. It entices my curiosity, they sound like cats hissing at each other that way. "I know your there nosy."
I scoff, "Well you're the one whispering," I say as I push open the door. They are sitting on the two sofas placed facing each other in the middle of the room. They are both on the edge of their seats, looking slightly agitated. "Don't mind me, you guys can just go back to gossiping like schoolgirls." I suppress a giggle and walk over to the pool table.
"I'll have you know-!" Riley doesn't get to finish. Asher cuts him off smoothly and abruptly, earning a scathing glare for his trouble.
"Seth killed that girl." I line up all the balls in the little triangle and set the plain white one down on the green felt. "And he did it in front of two of her friends. Who, right about now, are probably lying face down at the bottom of a very large cliff." I line up the shot and send several balls rolling all over the table and into the pockets.
"We've all killed several girls, I fail to see how this one is any different."It's acidic and I hate to say something so insensitive but I'm a little jaded when it comes to the insatiable appetite of my band mates. I find myself wondering how he knows any of this.
"This can't continue, we have to be more careful. We don't want the higher ups to take notice." At the mention of the Volturi, my body tenses up and I can't stop the vision of the cloaks. Their very name is a threat, impending doom hanging over us like a cloud. Their divine judgment clings to us, and the others of our kind like a shadow.
"Well I don't know about you guys," Riley says, "But I don't want to be here when the Volturi show up." With that he walks to the door. Asher stares up at the ceiling silently.
So now it's a when and not an if. But then what else can one expect from a pessimist like Riley. I try to tell myself that it is unlikely that the Volturi will step in, but it's useless. I drop the pool queue, I am no longer in the mood for games.
A/N: I take back what i said in earlier chapters, when I said that the bella's band in this fic was like a cross between Evanescence and Paramore. I thought that back when i hadn't yet heard of L'arc-en-Ciel. Yepp, they are genius, go listen.

Nick Young Named NBA Sneaker MVP [Photo]
I guess "Swagg" does pay off! Congrats To the L.A Lakers' Nick Young on his "Sneaker MVP" award, courtesy of Complex.
What does it take to be the MVP of the NBA? Great stats, making your teammates better, and clutch performances are just a few things that come to mind. Being named MVP of the league, or any league for that matter, is a serious honor that many aspire to achieve (what up, Kevin Durant).
But, in an era where an NBA player's choice of kicks can outshine their actual performance, it is easy to see who had the best sneakers all season: L.A. Laker Nick Young. You may know him as Swaggy P, or dude who is doing "things that shouldn't be legal" with Iggy Azalea, but he flourished in all statistical categories with his sneaker game this year.
One of Young's biggest sneaker highlights of the NBA season was debuting the Nike Kobe 9 Elite on the court. Of course, it helped that Kobe Bryant was shut down for the season with an injury, and Young happened to wear the same shoe size. But a win is a win.
If a true sign of a great player is ability to make his teammates better, then Young's sneaker game succeeded at that also. As usual, he stunted on the sneaker community when he announced that he would wear the Supreme x Nike Air Foamposite One. This prompted teammate and fellow sneaker connoisseur Kendall Marshall to show off his own Nike Foamposite collection. Following the back and forth sneaker battle, Marshall ramped up his sneaker game when he debuted the "Nightshade" Air Jordan XI Low.

Chapter Two - Part ThreeMature
It was dark that night, the clocks had just gone back an hour so the shadows of night approached faster. I couldn't imagine I was very visible; I wasn't exactly wearing anything bright. It was colder than usual too; approaching winter. Mum had lectured me that morning about taking a coat but you know how teenagers are; we care about our appearance and I hadn't invested in a coat that was flattering just yet.
Isn't it funny how you remember literally every little detail about the one event that would affect you the most?
So I was on the way home from school and there was a chill in the air. I remember thinking to myself that the first thing I'd do once I got my wages was buy a decent coat. I was imagining how it looked and everything. I was daydreaming.
I probably should have paid more attention.
It literally seemed to come out of nowhere. Two bright white orbs of death flying towards me. I was frozen on the spot. I didn't even have time to scream.
Everything's a little fuzzy after that. I remember the last thing I saw were the stars in the sky, twinkling away as if they were telling me that everything was going to be okay. I heard a squeal of tires; the car had obviously driven off.
Then everything went grey and I found myself wound up here.
A moment's silence followed my long depressive tale before you exhaled. Your features had gone soft, there was no longer that hard glint in your eyes. The cruel twist of your mouth had disappeared.
'I'm sorry,' you whispered.
'What is it?' Lucie murmured.
I listened to you recall my tale, word for word, and watched their expressions dissolve into sympathy. Lucie's eyes actually seemed to be watering.
'Don't you worry Alena,' Jade told me. 'We will catch him and we will help you. Even if it's the last thing we do.'
She had so much conviction in her voice that I didn't doubt her for a second. I didn't doubt any of you. For the first time I felt safe.
I felt secure.

Oligosaccharins and Pectimorf® stimulate root elongation and shorten the cell cycle in higher plants

The aim was to test promotive effects of oligosaccharins on root growth and development at the root apical meristem and the cell cycle using the model systems, Arabidopsis thaliana and the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) BY-2 cell line. Arabidopsis was grown on medium supplemented with 0.1 mg L−1 oligoxyloglucan (OX), 10 mg L−1 Pectimorf® (P) or 0.5 mg L−1 indole butyric acid (IBA). Primary root length, number of lateral root primordia, root apical meristem (RAM) length and epidermal cell length were recorded. Three genotypes were used: wild type (WT) and transgenic lines expressing either Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Sp) cdc25 or over-expressing(oe)Arath;WEE1. All treatments promoted primary root elongation but repressed lateral root production. Only P had a clear positive effect on meristem length whereas all other genotype × treatment interactions showed shorter RAMs. Whilst IBA, OX and P induced an increase in cell length in Spcdc25, the same treatments caused a significant decrease in WEE1oe. Mitotic indices were also significantly higher in roots treated with oligosaccharins suggesting a shortening of the cell cycle. This hypothesis was tested in the BY-2 cell line. Both OX and P shortened the cell cycle exclusively through a shortening of G1 whilst mitotic cell size remained constant between treatments. In conclusion, both OX and P do indeed stimulate growth and shorten the cell cycle in higher plants and at the cellular level are able to reverse large and small cell size phenotypes normally exhibited by WEE1oe and Spcdc25 genotypes, respectively.

EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY Maintains Short-term Bullish Stance Even After Channels Broke Down
Forex Notes
Prev: EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY are Attempting to Build Momentum in Bullish Channels (8/17)
The 1H chart show the EUR/JPY after breaking below a recent upwards channel. However, it still may be bullish in the short-term, but maybe not as bullish as the GBP/JPY.
- 1H RSI broke below 30, so we need to see it now rally above 60 to kill the bearish momentum.
- Price action held above 61.8% retracement, so it was a deep correction, but one that still keeps the bullish scenario alive.
- The 4H chart shows that the market is in medium term bearish mode because it is held below the 200SMA. However, the ability of the market to make a higher low today suggests at least a correction rally in the short-term.
- A swing projection targets a resistance zone starting with he 61.8% retracement level at 111.80 to a pivot at 112.30.
- IF the market breaks above 112.50, then we can talk about a bullish reversal in the medium-term
The GBP/JPY has a more bullish stance than the EUR/JPY.
- 1H chart shows that the retracement didn't even get to 38.2% of the rising channel.
- It is also staying above the 200SMA in the 1H chart and maintained the RSI reading above 40. This shows that the short-term bullish momentum is intact.
- The 4H chart shows the market knowing at the 127.00 pivot. Then above 128.00, we open up the 138.80 high.
- This should also break the RSI above 60 in the 4H chart to invalidate the bearish momentum.
- On the downside, you see a lot of bullish push at the 125.30 pivot. If the market stays below 127, and breaks below 125.30, and then 125.00, we can be opening back up teh 123.30 low.

Danny DeVito is running his mouth about racism in Hollowood. No black actors at the Academy Awards. Danny, you didn't have any black actors in Taxi either.
Here's what he had to say.
"We are living in a country that discriminates and has certain racial tendencies which — racist tendencies — so sometimes it's manifested in things like this and it's illuminated, but just generally speaking we're a racist — we're a bunch of racists."
Hey Danny, little punk, speak for yourself.
How about starting an awards ceremony that only hands out stuff to black actors? What? BET? Oh.
Maybe it's time white folks should boycott the Super Bowl and the NBA.
Sixty years and $22 trillion washed down a rat hole for the "war on poverty" didn't buy "inclusion"? Maybe, Don Cheadle, you have to actually earn "inclusion," but of course that would be racist.
We need to find out how Bernie and Hillary feel about reparations.

The environmentalist swam with brown and tiger sharks in a tank at the London Aquarium to highlight a global survey which records widespread damage across the world to the living eco-systems.
Over 200 teams of divers in more than 40 countries took part in the survey to obtain the first-ever snapshot of the state of the world's reefs, studying environmentally fragile areas including Malaysia, the Red Sea and the Caribbean.
The findings highlight an alarming range of threats, including anchor damage, overfishing of commercial species, pollution and damaging dynamite fishing.
It is feared that 10 per cent of the world's reefs have already been degraded beyond recovery and that another 30 per cent are rapidly heading that way. Only 1 per cent have any official protection.
"If you need proof of the plunder of our coral reefs and the need for an International Year of the Reef, ask yourselves where all the sharks have gone," Professor Bellamy said.
"More and more shark species are appearing in the red data book of endangered species, a sure sign that the natural balance of reefs is in danger.
"Once these large predators have gone to fuel the demand for shark-fin soup and shark steaks, populations of other fish and invertebrates explode, speeding the destruction of coral reefs.
"Of the 109 countries with reefs, over 85 per cent have suffered some kind of damage from our careless actions and in some cases the environmental and economic consequences have been disastrous.
"This destruction simply has to stop, otherwise within 40 years over half our planet's coral reefs will have vanished."
Alastair Harborne, UK Reef Check Co-ordinator said: "Reef Check clearly shows that if nothing is done now to save these rainforests of the seas, we risk losing some of the most beautiful, diverse and important habitats on earth."

One of cooler apps I've found…
Services like Uber, Taxi Magic, Cabulous, and SideCar are completely disrupting the way we get around our cities. But almost all of them use private services, excluding the city's public transportation. But a new startup has joined the pack of transportationally gifted companies, and (wait for it) with New York's infamous yellow cabs. No joke.
It's called ZabKab.
It works almost identically to Uber, except that the broadcast you send out when you hail a taxi appears on the yellow cab driver's smartphone or tablet. You tap a button, and then watch all the cabs in your area move on the map in real time. Yellow cabs are available, grey cabs have a passenger.
But the genius here isn't in the passenger version of the app; it's in the driver version. To comply with Taxi & Limousine Commission regulation, the driver can not look at…

Distance Drivers
Discmania PD2 Chaos (S-line, C-line & P-line): The best wind driver on the market. It will fade no matter what. Great choice for spike hyzers and any fierce wind. I have yet to find a disc that is as overstable as the PD2 while still flying far and with a significant amount of glide.
Legacy Cannon (icon): This is my max distance disc, it's speed is incredible and combined with its high speed turn this disc is lethal and if you have the arm for it I highly recommend trying it out.
Fairway Drivers
Discmania FD3 (S-line & C-line): One of my favorite discs in the bag. I use my FD3 for controlled backhand shots, hyzer shots and any forehand less than 375' it is comparable to a firebird with more glide in my opinion.
Discmania CD2 (S-line & C-line): I throw the CD2 when I need controlled distance shots or controlled flex shots. I love this disc and would recommend it to almost everybody.
Discmania FD Jackal (S-line & C-line): This disc is one that I am just now learning to love, it is super controllable and I can use it to shape just about any line that I want. The glide that the FD has is unmatched by any other fairway drivers too.
Innova Champion Gator: A slower version of my PD2 and Firebird. The gator can hold up in any wind. Awesome hyzer disc. I love throwing it off the tee and on approach shots, if I'm ever in trouble the Gator helps me get out.
Discmania MD3 (S-line & P-line): My go to mid-range. Great torque resistance. Awesome for straight approaches, slow hyzers, anhyzers, you name it. This disc is huge for me.
Putt and Approach
Westside Harp (BT medium): This disc is new to the bag. It's great for throwing off the tee. It can handle a lot of snap while maintaining a predictable fade at the end of flight. It falls right between a putter and a mid-range for me. It is a favorite for me for up shots and off the tee, it even comes out for a headwind putt every now and then
Discmania D-Line P2 Psycho: My go to putter. It's firm and durable. The same mold as the popular KC Aviar without the bead. Basically Discmania took the two most popular putters of all time, the KC Aviar and the no bead Aviar and combined them. It can handle wind but still has enough glide to get in the basket.
Which bag is he using?
I use the Grip AX15 because i find it to be the most solid bag in all of disc golf and it is capable of holding everything that I need it to and then some. Older versions of the grip bag did not have much storage in the side packets but the AX15 has expandable pockets which makes the side pockets much bigger when they need to be and they are also collapsible when the extra storage is not needed.
His advice to up and coming players...
My advice to up and coming players is to always have fun playing the sport. Whether you are 13 over par or 13 under remember why you started playing the game... to have fun! Always play with better players if you can help it. Playing against tougher competition will force you to improve your game. Odds are you will learn something new when playing with the better players anyway. Try to keep an open mind when you're on the course or practicing, there is always something new you can learn whether its a new grip or a different mechanic on your drive. The game can never be mastered, you can always shoot one stroke better. Never be content with where your at, always strive to get better.

Distance Drivers
Discmania PD2 Chaos (S-line) The PD2 is a great overstable distance driver. I use it for long hyzers and headwinds. I throw the swirl S-lines because they are a touch more overstable than the regular ones and still maintain good glide.
Dynamic Discs BioFuzion Defender: This is my do everything disc. When it is brand new it is overstable making it good for my sidearm and into headwind. As the Defender breaks in it becomes more workable for straight and turnover shots. This allows me to cover a wide variety of shots with this one mold.
Dynamic Discs BioFuzion Escape: The Escape is a very glidey 9 speed distance driver that I use for my control straight to turnover shots. This disc is great for players of all skill level because it is very neutral and has great glide allowing you to perform almost any type of shot with it.
Fairway Drivers
Innova Champion Firebird: This is my utility disc and all around go to for any type of hyzer. I use flat ones for my overhand thumber shots. I also carry domey firebirds for most of my sidearm shots and backhand hyzers. I can't complete a round without this disc. This is the best head wind fairway driver.
Latitude 64 Gold Line Saint Pro: I use the saint pro for my straight to overstable fairway shots. This disc is great at holding a line and having a nice consistent fade at the end of its flight.
Dynamic Discs Lucid Justice: This disc in crazy overstable I use it for flare shots both sidearm and backhand. This is wihtout a doubt the most overstable Mid-Range on the market today.
Innova Champion Roc3: My go to mid-range. Great for soft hyzers and straight shots. This is the mid-range that I use the most. It can be thrown on any line and preform very well. This disc is also great in the wind.
Putt and Approach
Westside discs Soft Harp: This disc is great for approach shots. It is a very predictable overstable approach disc. I use for any approach shot sidearm or backhand that I want to throw a hyzer inside 200 feet.
Latitude 64 Zero Hard Mercy: This is my go to putter for everything from inside the circle to throwing off the tee. I like to keep my bag very simple and the mercy allows me to do that. The mercy is a great putter for any style of putting as well so if I need to throw a spin putt or a pitch putt I can use this disc.
Which bag is he using?
Grip Tour Bag: A great bag for the player that lives on the disc golf course. My old bag was ruining my back due to lack of support and since I play constantly, had to make a change for the better. The Grip bag has a nice contoured fit on your back and has a chest strap for added stability and comfort. Since I switched bags, my back-pain has decreased and stamina increased. I like the versatility of the many pockets on the bag because people seem to use the same pockets for different reasons. It has plenty of space for all my discs and the shape of the compartment keeps them from spilling out even if my bag tips over. I definitely made the right switch for the better. This one is worth checking out!
His advice to up and coming players...
My advice to up and coming players is to always have fun while playing this great game. If you want to improve surround yourself with players that are better than you. Every disc golfer wants to grow the sport and help everyone they can. The best way to do this is by joining the local club. Every local club will have a league night with everyone there I saw a dramatic improvement in my game when I started completing in this weekly league. You can never practice putting too much. The people who throw 100 - 200 putts a day will always have a significant advantage. Lastly play within your own game. If you have a great sidearm or thumber use it.

In his bag...
Distance Drivers
DGA SP Line Hurricane: My main overstable driver. I like it for big hyzers, headwind shots, and forehand as well.
DGA SP Line Rogue: This is a shorter range distance driver. Its good for shots that need more accuracy than my Hurricane and need to land a little softer. Good for anhyzers for both forehand and backhand.
DGA SP Line Tsunami: A very trustworthy disc. It doesn't go as far as a Hurricane, but I can really lay into it and know it will come back. Another good one for spike hyzer backhand throws, thumbers/tomahawk, and forehand skips or hyzers.
Discraft Z Nuke: My understable distance driver. I like it for big anhyzers and tailwind shots. Very good for uphill as well and very fast.
Discraft Z Venom: Another specialty disc. I throw skip shots or a shorter, sharp hyzer with it. My favorite part, though is it is a very good disc to throw a thumber with.
DGA SP Line Undertow: My favorite fairway driver ever. I have a flippy one and a stable one. Both have a very good use. Undertow is a good disc to hit any line and very nice for tunnel shots off the tee.
Discraft ESP FLX Drone: The most trustworthy midrange there is. Good for everything. You can throw it as hard as you can and it will still come back.
DGA SP Line Aftershock: Great medium speed midrange disc. I like it because it is very predictable and trustworthy. I can flip it a little and it will always come back.
Discraft Elite X Stratus: Utility disc. Used for huge turnover shots, rollers, and tunnel shots that need to land softly.
DGA SP Line Squall: From the minute I threw this disc, I loved it. Squall is a faster midrange and is good for any kind of shot you need. It will go straight, flip, hyzer, and land soft, but get there quickly. If you could only throw one disc for an entire round, this is the one!!
Putt and Approach
DGA SP Line Breaker: Another big hit from DGA. This one is comparable to a slightly less stable zone. Very good predictable hyzers for both forehand and backhand. I like it for the shots in between a putter throw and something shorter than a Drone that needs to come in a little softer.
DGA SP Line Reef: My putter for throwing. Good grip, reliable, great glide, and a decent amount of stability in the SP Line. I like it for all of my upshots in pretty much all situations.
Discraft D Challenger: Good reliable workhorse putter. Not too overstable but just enough to rely on. Consistent flight and grabs the chains well.
Which bag is he using?
Grip Tour Bag: A great bag for the player that lives on the disc golf course. My old bag was ruining my back due to lack of support and since I play constantly, had to make a change for the better. The Grip bag has a nice contoured fit on your back and has a chest strap for added stability and comfort. Since I switched bags, my back-pain has decreased and stamina increased.

His advice to up and coming players...
My advice to up and coming players is to play all you can, whenever you can, and never get discouraged. You don't have to be the best in the world, but make sure that when you practice, try to do it in the same manor every time. Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice will result in better play. Also, putting is the most important thing to get better at. If you putt for at least 15 mins a day every day, you will see a drastic improvement in score. Watch lots of videos, play lots of different people, ask questions, and mold your own unique style based on what you gather from others. No one player has the exact same game. Don't try and mimic what a great player does. Simply find little bits of their game and find a way to apply it to your own.
KC Terry
KC is a Fort Collins native who started playing disc golf back in 1993 on the original CSU campus course. He's been playing disc golf professionally since 2006 and has many strong finishes to his name since then. He avoids ace-ing holes at all costs, preferring instead to "park" holes so putting isn't required. Also a fan of snowboarding, music and riding bicycles, he's enjoying his time at the Wright Life and in the vibrant Fort Collins disc golf scene.

Distance Drivers
Innova Champion Destroyer: A great straight flyer for maximum distance drives. Not too overstable so its managable for players with moderate arm speed. I find the Dominator is a disc I can work on all angles: hyzers, anhyzers, or bullet straight lines.
Innova Star Katana: The Katana has a lot of play in its flight, so it is a good one for sky anhyzers or shaping drives out in the open. I've found it to be as fast as any disc I've tried yet. Great for max-distance!
Discmania C-Line PD2: Holy overstable. This thing is almost too much to handle, but is great for a headwind since you can almost guarantee it isn't going to turn over. Good for big spike hyzers and of course, stiff-headwind drives.
Fairway Drivers
Innova Champion Firebird: This is one of two discs in my bag that have been there nearly as long as I've been playing professionally. The Firebird is a great tool for special circumstances: spike hyzers, skip shots and mean headwinds.
Discmania C-Line PD: I like the PD for shorter-length headwind drives, and have found it to be my go to disc for straight, accurate sidearm shots and smooth, pinpoint backhand hyzers. I really like the feel of this disc in the hand too, both for sidearm and backhand shots—it just fits comfortably, which give me added confidence in the shot.
Discmania C-Line FD: I picked this one up hoping it would replace my TL, but it ended up taking the place of the Teebird instead. Great glide, possibly a bit of added speed compared to the Teebird and a really consistent, straight flight path makes this my go-to fairway driver these days.
Innova Special Edition TL: This is the other disc that has been in my bag forever—probably continually since 2002. I haven't found a driver that I can throw as straight for as long as the TL. Perfect for those tough spots where you have to hit an impossibly-tight line to get out of the trees. Also doubles as my main roller disc. Downside: not a very durable plastic, resulting in a short disc-lifespan.
Innova Star Gator: This is the Firebird of my mid-range discs, which means I use it mostly for headwind approaches and unusual shots like short, sharp hyzers around obstacles, shots that need to sink fast, and short skip shots.
Innova Roc3 (Glow and Champion plastics): The Roc3 felt comfortable almost as soon as I put it in my hand. The glow version gives a slight, extra bit of stability. Stable, but not beefy, you can lay into it pretty hard with only minimal flip. It flies a lot like the old CE Rocs after they were broken in for a couple years. Be cautious into a headwind though, as it will turn over slightly with too much power.
Discmania S-Line MD2: I use the MD2 for hitting short tunnel shots or for turnovers. It is easy to turn over and will hold that line till nearly the end of its flight. This also means it can be flipped over too much as well, so it is a disc that requires some finesse, especially with a softer plastic like the S-Line.
Putt and Approach
Innova Champion Rhyno: This is a great choice for slight headwind approach shots, or good, consistent hyzers up to the basket from inside 150'. Once it gets to its destination it drops and stays. Can't argue with consistency.
Discmania C-Line P3: This really is one of the best putters for throwing off the tee. It's remarkably resistant to turn at high-speeds, and not overly stable as it slows down. This makes it pretty easy to throw far and straight without having to manipulate the starting angle or having it turn hard at the end of its flight.
JK Pro Aviar: I like the JK Pro Aviar for medium-long upshots, as it has a slight bit of stability. To keep it from turning over, and a gummy, flexible plastic that helps it stay where it lands. I've stopped throwing it off the tee, as that soft plastic makes for some inconsistency in the release angle.
Discmania P-Line P2 Psycho: I was putting with the standard DX Aviar for many years until recently, but made the change when I got a hold of one of these. The shape is really close to the Aviar, but the plastic is firm and stiff, reducing wobbles in the air and unexpected redirection from the disc bending in your hand before release. I wouldn't recommend this disc to all players, but for those who have developed a solid technique already, it may help to further refine your putt.
Innova Pro Nova: I've been using this one in the cold weather and it is incredibly grippy even on the chilliest days. It still has decent structural integrity, which helps with putting consistency. I need a bit of texture and tackiness with my putts, and most other putter plastics don't provide this in the cold. Who knows, it may even stay in the bag as the weather warms up.
Which bag is he using?
Grip EQ A-Series Tour Bag: I can't say enough how much I like the newest version of the Grip bags, the A-Series. I upgraded to this one last spring from the Revolution Carolina with backsaver straps, and I noticed the difference instantly. The Grip has a way of making that same number of discs feel like half as many. My only criticism is that the storage area is a bit thinner and elongated, so you have to be a bit creative how you pack things in. That being said, there is ample room—probably just as much as my Carolina bag, and maybe more. The high-quality construction makes it well worth the purchase!
His advice to up and coming players...
As they say, "drive for show.. putt for dough". This is true! Spend some time practicing that critical final shot and your scores will improve very fast. Don't think about your technique when playing, only when practicing. It is better to loosen up and let your body do what it has learned during practice. Most of all, have fun! Never forget why you got into the game. And always call people when you find their lost disc on the course!

Poor Ed Miliband — there's no more vicious critic than a former friend, and Ed seems to have a knack for alienating his. First the Labour leader was mocked by former ally and New Statesman editor Jason Cowley for being "a Hampstead socialist", who "doesn't really understand the lower middle-class". Now Tariq Ali, one of the old-school north London socialists, says Ed has betrayed the party's core principles.
The 71-year-old writer and activist — who was close friend of Ed's late father, the Marxist academic Ralph Miliband — once accused the Tory press of being "so paranoid about Edward that they are going to hurl everything at him". Now it's Ali's turn to do the hurling.
In his new book, The Extreme Centre, published next month by Verso, Ali accused Ed of being a "jittery and indecisive figure, over-dependent on focus groups and spin, presiding over a parliamentary party (including his shadow chancellor) that remains solidly Thatcherite in inspiration".
Ali spends the book's final chapter trying to envisage a new world order in which politicians are not power-grabbing hypocrites, "immured in exclusive bunkers". Strangely enough, it's not a utopia that features either of the two Miliband boys he watched growing-up. Indeed, Miliband only gets three mentions in the book.
Ali's book quivers with feeling for the masses. "The large majority of us share, in varying degrees, a new collective experience: unemployment, household debt [and] homelessness," writes Left-wing firebrand who, last we heard, was living in style on the ground floor of a Highgate mansion.
Phillips is no longer a haggis virgin
As a warm-up to Burns Night on Sunday, Boisdale of Bishopsgate hosted a dinner with a guest of honour: Stanley Phillips, the US Embassy's councillor for Agricultural Affairs. The US has banned the import of haggis since the Seventies. "I'm glad to say I'm no longer a haggis virgin," said Phillips as he tucked in. "But did you like it?" diners enquired. "It was," Phillips paused, "interesting ... When I'm posted somewhere new I like to try the local cuisine." The Londoner offered to take him to the East End for jellied eels. "Jellied ... eels?" he spluttered.
Icy encounter over the caviar in Davos
Snowfall is limited at Davos but the reception is frosty. A pal of The Londoner saw George Osborne and Nat Rothschild at a party thrown by Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales. Back in 2008, financier Rothschild claimed in an open letter to The Times the Chancellor had used Rothschild's hospitality to gain access to tycoon Oleg Deripaska's yacht in Corfu that summer — the Tories denied this.
Back in Davos: "Seeing Osborne, Nat sidled up to him," our source explains, "but Osborne's response was somewhat damp." Rothschild looked around, saw a mountain of sturgeons' eggs, and exclaimed: "Fantastic, caviar!" and then, with disgust, "it's fake" — it was actually a promo display. Poor Nat.
A Korea opportunity, indeed
The Londoner is used to meeting multi-talented individuals but we've outdone ourselves by dining with chef Judy Joo, who opened Korean restaurant Jinjuu in Soho last night with a dinner attended by models Arizona Muse and Julia Restoin Roitfeld. Joo has always had a taste for flavours but cooking was her way out of a lucrative career in finance at both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. "I'm a bit crazy to do this," she admitted, "because you're essentially downgrading your life: I work longer hours now for a fraction of the money that I used to get paid.
"But I didn't love the market. I couldn't tap into the part of my mind that should be captivated by bonds and derivatives and credit. Calculating convexity and duration wasn't really my cup of tea." Judging by the mountains of food we consumed, the City's loss is fine dining's gain — although we do wish we knew what convexity and duration meant.
Another Old Etonian?
Earlier this week we noted that there would be six Old Etonians standing for election in London's 73 seats in May. Incumbents Zac Goldsmith, Nick Hurd and Jo Johnson are joined by three more potential MPs — Boris Johnson, Matthew Maxwell Scott and Bim Afolami.
Now it looks like we've underestimated the school. A reader gets in touch to say that the Conservative candidate for Hammersmith, Charlie Dewhirst, is also an alumnus. Are there any more hiding in the shadows?
Cheers as ZMB grabs Economist hot seat
Long live the new queen of financial journalism! A huge cheer went up in the Economist's offices in Mayfair yesterday as Zanny Minton Beddoes, pictured, was announced as the new editor of the 172-year-old newspaper. The former business affairs editor takes over from John Micklethwait to become the publication's first female leader.
Beddoes previously covered Washington DC, where she polished her TV skills as well as her Rolodex of US contacts. "She has a huge intellect and thinks quickly on her feet," says our insider. "She has a cool head in tight spots and reacts well under pressure."
Another spy adds: "She goes out of her way to make younger colleagues feel valued — but she'll challenge you on something you say in a meeting and wins every argument she goes into."Reuse content

Facial Fest***/*
Short review: There's no denying a lot of sexual energy is alive and well between the partners, even when it comes in the form of group sex, everyone is on the same wavelength. With bright eyes looking up at the men, they lick and suck until there's a spurt of appreciation coating their tongues, chins, hair, cheeks, and more. They include plenty of nudity and penetration as well, to spruce up the action.
Content Amount: At first glance I thought they had maybe forgotten this site a time or two, with it being a bit over 3 years old, I didn't think the numbers quite matched, but that was my mistake. They update each Monday, and the numbers are solid with their time online.
Content Quality: They do a nice job with the quality of this installment from the network. There's not a lot of pizzazz, but they do have multiple formats with choices, either standard or HD, and galleries/caps that are downloadable and nicely presented for members.

It's a new company called The Amazing Media Group, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Its founder Paul Campbell is an award-winning media entrepreneur who used to make radio & TV programmes for the BBC and elsewhere before he worked in new media. He's also a musician. There's a small team of clever people who are passionate about music, about breaking the mould and getting this right. The company is supported by a small number of high net worth investors, most of them based in the north of England, who believe amazing should become a global brand.
