It's not often we take patrons to the "Morgue," but during our recent Educator Open House, we took a group of teachers down to the basement of the library to see the old clippings and photographs of the Brooklyn Eagle.
Close-up of Celia Mallon and Connie Richichi working in file room or library at Brooklyn Eagle in Downtown Brooklyn. 1953.
While we were down there, I pulled a folder to show the teachers some of the remarkable photographs we have. I pulled, "Klopfer, Sonya*Ice Skater," and as the teachers made comments about the photo, I was more interested in learning about her, especially since I am a huge fan of ice skating.
Klopfer, prepping for the Olympics. November 3, 1951.
Ms. Klopfer was born in Brooklyn to immigrants who fled Germany under Hitler's reign. Although growing up she was very poor, Klopfer's parents encouraged her to skate. She trained in Brooklyn's old ice skating rink, the Brooklyn Ice Palace. At 15, she became the youngest skater to win the US Ladies Championship and held that title until 1997, when Tara Lipinski won the championship at the age of 14. Klopfer was a two-time world medalist in 1951 and 1952 and also placed 4th in the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway. Following her amateur career, she performed in the Ice Capades and Holiday on Ice.
As the case with most research excursions, you set off to research one thing, and go off in different directions. After I learned about Klopfer, I wanted to know more about the Brooklyn Ice Palace on Atlantic and Bedford Avenues, not too far from the current Barclays Center. Located at 1163 Atlantic Avenue, the Brooklyn Ice Palace opened in 1917. Prior to its tenure as an ice skating rink, it was a roller skating rink and prior to that, a riding academy.
Desk Atlas, 1929.
On January 15, 1917, the Brooklyn Ice Palace opened and was described by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle as the "largest artificial ice rink in the city, with 17,000 square feet of ice." Brooklynites flocked to the rink and it became a huge success. However, on March 23, 1918, in an effort to conserve materials for World War I, the State Ice Controller ordered the rink closed to help save ammonia and other articles used in the manufacture of artificial ice.
"Andra McLaughlin, who represents the Brooklyn Ice Palace in speed skating, has just been chosen to represent the U.S. in the world figure skating championships in Paris, Feb. 16 and 17..."
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, December 10, 1948
The Palace eventually reopened and during the summer was converted into a movie theatre with 2,500 seats and a pipe organ which was used in conjunction with a symphony orchestra. Using the Ice Palace as a theatre proved to be very innovative; the Palace was one of the first known theatres to have a cooling system. However, it failed to make money with the movie project and fell into bankruptcy. It reopened in 1921 and continued unabated until 1937, when it was torn down and completely remodeled to become, according to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, one of the most spacious rinks in the country. The Palace endured two more remodels and new management in the 40s and 50s and in 1955, the rink was closed. It later reopened as a scenery design shop.
Manangement promising a skater the Palace would not close. Brooklyn Eagle, 1954.
While looking up information about the Ice Palace, I learned there was a professional NHL team, the Brooklyn Americans formerly the New York Americans, who practiced at the Palace during the 1941-42 season. Bill Dwyer (best known as the "King of the Bootleggers" during Prohibition) purchased the defunct Hamilton Tigers from Ontario in 1925 for $75,000. He moved the team to New York and renamed them the New York Americans. The Americans (or Amerks) went on to become the second United States team to join the National Hockey League (after the Boson Bruins) and played in the newly built Madison Square Garden. The Garden management was so impressed with the popularity of the Americans that they founded their own team, the New York Rangers, in 1926. The Rangers quickly became the popular New York team while the New York Americans struggled; they only made it to the playoffs three times in fifteen years.

Financial difficulties caused the NHL to take control of the team in 1936 and Mervin "Red" Dutton was placed in charge of them. In 1941, Dutton moved himself and the team to Brooklyn. He promised to build an arena, change thier name to the "Brooklyn Americans" and have them practice at the Brooklyn Ice Palace. But with most of the team fighting in World War II, the Brooklyn Americans went down to only four players. The league suspended them in 1942. The team was never revived and the arena was never built. Although little-known now, the team has had an intersting history.
In 2015, Brooklyn will once again have a hockey team--the Islanders are slated to move to Brooklyn and play in the Barclays Center. This past September, history was made as the Islanders played against the Devils in the first ever NHL game in Brooklyn.
Elizabeth Felicella will discuss her work as an architectural photographer with Brooklyn Collection archivists Ben Gocker and Ivy Marvel, with special attention to how it relates to her photographs of the library archive that are included in the current exhibition, Brooklyn Public Library: An Open Book. An archive is typically deemed a repository of the past, compiled for the sake of posterity, the future; this public conversation, which is grounded in the collaborative relationship between photographer and archivist that has developed during Felicella's time as Artist-in-Residence at the Brooklyn Public Library, presents an opportunity to consider the archive in the present tense and as an open, active endeavor.

A wine and cheese reception, as well as distribution of tickets, will precede the event at 6:30 p.m. The Brooklyn Collection is located on the 2nd floor balcony of the Central Library at Grand Army Plaza. Seating is limited to 40.
Some people would rather die than have their high school experiences splashed across the (blog) pages of one of the world's most widely read newspapers, but we imagine that Janet Yellen, who was recently nominated to head the Federal Reserve, has more important things on her mind. The Brooklyn Collection, however, is not above basking for a moment in her reflected glory, as we've recently made news because we hold not just Ms. Yellen's Fort Hamilton High School yearbook, but also her high school newspaper, the Pilot, of which she was an editor.
These heretofore unregarded pieces of history were featured in two New York Times blogs today, the City Room and Economix. And if you're curious to see what other famous people we have hidden away in the pages of our yearbook collection, check out our earlier blog posts on famous Brooklyn alumni.
Every year the Archivists Round Table of Metrpolitan New York organizes a week of lectures, tours, workshops and open houses at cultural institutions around the city and calls it, fittingly, Archives Week. The Brooklyn Collection will be participating in the festivities this year, with an open house and exhibit tour on Monday, October 7th, from 6 - 8pm.
The event will include an introduction to our collections and programs, including the school outreach initiative, Brooklyn Connections. Visitors will also tour the exhibition "Brooklyn Public Library: An Open Book", which is on display throughout the Central Library and is drawn from materials in the Brooklyn Collection. Light refreshments will be served. The event is limited to 40 guests; please RSVP to Ivy Marvel at firstname.lastname@example.com to confirm your attendance.

Check out this site and interactive map to learn about other Archives Week events going on all over the city. You can also follow the Archivists Round Table of Metropolitan New York on Twitter at @ArchivistsRT and keep with up events with the hashtag #ARTNYAW. We hope you'll join us! And if you can't wait until next Monday, here is a little introduction to the Brooklyn Collection to whet your whistle.

The news of the merging of editorial staff between pioneering and much-loved Australian women magazines Dolly and Cleo has been labelled "the end of an era" by former editor of both publications Lisa Wilkinson.
German-based publishing giant Bauer Media Group announced on Monday it was considering a proposal to introduce a "single publishing unit" for teenage magazine Dolly and young women's magazine Cleo.
"It really does feel like the end of an era for me because so much of my life was tied up with those titles. I was six and a half years at Dolly and another 10 years at Cleo," Wilkinson told Guardian Australia.
Since buying ACP in September last year, Bauer has closed two other women's magazines in the stable, Grazia and Madison.
Dolly and Cleo magazines, once owned by the late Kerry Packer's media empire, have been read by generations of women for more than four decades.
The future of the two editors, Cleo's Sharri Markson and Dolly's Tiffany Dunk, remains uncertain as a single editor-in-chief will be appointed.
"An editor-in-chief would be responsible for both titles, with other team members either working directly on the brand or, where possible, across the two brands," the company said in a statement.
Wilkinson, co-host of Nine's Today, said it would take a "very talented editor" to be able to differentiate between the two markets and produce two distinct magazines with one team.
"But I am particularly emotional for those women and men who are working on the magazines at the moment and don't know what the future holds for them. Magazines are the bedrock of my career and it saddens me to see the market shrinking so much."
Both titles suffered a drop in sales in the last Audit Bureau of Circulations report in August, but Cosmo's was more dramatic, down 17.4% to 76,163. Dolly dropped 12.8% to 80,315.
The chief executive of Bauer Media, Matthew Stanton, said it was logical to merge the staff to "further enhance the reach and relevance of these two much-loved Australian magazine brands".
"This process has revealed the logic of grouping complementary magazine brands within single publishing units to take full advantage of editorial, digital and production resources that further strengthen our mastheads. Bauer Media recently aligned its motoring titles in this way."
A Bauer source said the company was simply doing what had already been done at other media groups, including Fairfax Media and News Corp – that is, saving on staff costs by streamlining operations.

"The Power of Positive Painting™ instructional video (now on DVD) has been a real success story. Robert has received plenty of feedback over the years since he first published the Power of Positive Painting™ back in 1995, all of which he has taken to heart. Overwhelmingly, viewers appreciated his practical, concrete, informative and energetic approach to portraiture."
Great news! Robert has put all that great feedback, insight and subsequent teaching experience into the creation of the much anticipated follow up DVD, called The Portrait; a value-based painting system.
The new DVD, from Liliedahl Video Productions, is even more comprehensive than the first, much more down to business. Robert's focus is on breaking down the fundamentals for the viewer, the ones many teachers tend to gloss over or skip altogether.
He also gets into the nuances of handling the brush and executing and recognizing the master-stroke. There's a section on what to do when you get into a drawing jam. In the new DVD there is more explanation about the advantages of mixing and using the Power Palette. Other bonus features allow you to take in as much or as little information as you're ready to hear, when you're ready to hear it. For instance, Robert has packed everything he knows about a successful portrait career into the bonus feature, "Being a professional portrait artist today." Beginner and advanced students have expressed that they have come away with renewed confidence and a practical, step-by-step approach for completing a portrait after viewing the new DVD.

UPDATE: We recently released a press release stating that the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) had advised Total Attorneys' President Kevin Chern that "it had found no wrongdoing" in its investigation into the allegations raised in a complaint filed by a Connecticut attorney. We would like to clarify and correct that statement. Rather than state that the ARDC had "found no wrongdoing" we should have stated that it closed its investigation "with no finding of wrongdoing". Although the ARDC advised that it had decided to close its investigation with no action against Mr. Chern, it did not make any affirmative findings. We apologize for the inaccuracy.
The Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) today advised Chicago attorney and President of Total Attorneys, Inc. Kevin Chern that it had closed its investigation of a complaint filed against him last spring with no finding of wrongdoing.
The complaint, filed by a Connecticut attorney, was part of a sweeping effort by the complainant to shut down pay-per-performance marketing in the legal profession.
The same attorney filed complaints against more than 500 attorneys in 47 states, alleging that those attorneys were in violation of their various states' ethical canons simply because they were advertising with Total Attorneys.
Total Attorneys General Counsel Pam Gracyalny called the complainant's actions unprecedented, saying "there has never before been an ethical complaint filed nationwide on the basis of a single model."
The complaints and ensuing investigations have caused a buzz in the legal community and general business press because the issue highlighted the gray zones surrounding Internet marketing issues in the legal industry.
Because most states have not amended or interpreted their rules to account for the new opportunities and business norms made possible by current technology, attorneys making use of new media have been traveling uncharted waters for several years.
The Illinois decision represents a significant step toward resolving the unanswered questions regarding attorney advertising on the Internet and providing clear direction to attorneys who want to maximize their accessibility to prospective clients through new technology.
Chern called the decision a victory for both small firm attorneys and consumers.
"The Total Attorneys model," he said, "makes Internet marketing affordable and time-efficient for small law firms and solo practitioners and improves consumer access to legal information and services."
Illinois is the fourth state to reach a favorable conclusion with no finding of wrongdoing.
Hawaii and Alaska have already determined that there was no basis for action on the complaints, while a North Carolina panel dismissed a complaint against Chern for the alleged unauthorized practice of law.
The Hawaii Office of Disciplinary Counsel also noted that the complaint raised serious commercial free speech issues. No state has determined that either Chern or any of the company's attorney clients has violated the law or applicable rules of professional conduct.
In an unrelated case, a Louisiana District Court recently found proposed attorney advertising rules unconstitutional as applied to Internet marketing, noting that "Internet advertising differs significantly from advertising in traditional media."
Total Attorneys founder and CEO Ed Scanlan says,
"We always expected our advertising model to be vindicated, and are encouraged by the fact that every state that has made a determination with regard to the complaints has decided in our favor. When the dust settles, we expect that these rulings will play an important role in establishing that attorneys can use new technology and new media to promote their practices in a manner that is entirely consistent with their ethical obligations and the rules that govern their profession."

Alex Job Racing press release
Alex Job Racing WeatherTech Porsche Qualifies Third in GTC at Sebring
MacNeil, Keen and Dumoulin ready for 12
Sebring, Fla, (Mar. 16, 2012),Alex Job Racing's (AJR) Leh Keen qualified the No. 022 WeatherTech/Alex Job Racing Porsche GT3 Cup entry in third in GTC for the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patron 60th Anniversary Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring fueled by Fresh from Florida to be run, tomorrow, Mar. 17. Keen is joined in the 022 by Cooper MacNeil and Louis-Philipe Dumoulin.
Keen (Charleston, South Carolina) had the controls of the No. 022 WeatherTech Porsche for qualifying around the 3.74-mile, 17-turn track located in central Florida. Keen, who is amongst the fastest drivers in the GTC class turned a lap time of 2:06.711 good for a second-row start on the GTC grid.
"It was a good qualifying run," Keen said. "We have had a great car all week. We spent most of the week getting settled in with the traffic. Qualifying was the first time that we actually could run a traffic-free lap, which is nice. The WeatherTech Porsche is good. We qualified third, but we are 100ths of a second behind first. The top three cars are really tight. We ran the car this morning on worn tires, and it was fast. So we have a car that will be good through the entire run. We are ready to go racing."
MacNeil (Hinsdale, Illinois) is running his first Sebring 12-hours. Although a rookie in the 12, MacNeil has plenty of laps around Sebring.
"This morning I put in some fast laps, getting a good feel for the traffic," MacNeil said. "The car felt really fast, the best that I have driven so far. Leh did a good job qualifying the car and we are starting on the second row. Daytona was a sprint race from the beginning. Sebring is all about surviving. If we can keep our nose clean, we will be there at the end."
Dumoulin (Quebec, Canada) is enjoying the Sebring experience and is ready to contribute behind the wheel.
"So far we are having a very good week in the 022 WeatherTech Porsche," Dumoulin said. "It is a big learning week on my end. The ALMS series is very different for me from my NASCAR car and the Rolex racing I have done. We don't have five different classes in the series. It is a little overwhelming at times, but very fun. The team is doing a great job. Leh and Cooper are fast. We have led a few of the sessions this week, so we are fast. We have a good starting position for the 60th anniversary running of the Sebring."
Alex Job, team owner, likes the approach the 022 WeatherTech drivers are taking.
"The guys have really come together," Job said. "Leh has won here with us in 2010 and is one of the fastest drivers around here in a Porsche. He is helping Louis-Philippe and Cooper with the subtleties of Sebring that equate to tenths of a second on lap times. They are taking a professional approach studying data and getting to know the characteristics of the other 62 cars in the field. We are looking to have a very strong run from the 022 tomorrow."

We're on the wrong side of the road!
Are we human or are we dancers? Listening to the killers on a local radio station we bust some moves whilst I try and figure out how to drive (probably not a good combination!). Driving in the left seat on the right side of the road and changing gears with the right hand is a weird experience, I did manage to pull out on the wrong side of the road! Our first visit is an old mining town 'Banska Stievnika' with tiered churches up the hill, I hike up to say ...
Still snowing
After looking at the weather forecast last night and this morning I knew I wasn't going far. It was saying it was going to be cloudy with more snow that evening. It wasn't cloudy all day and there was a lot of clear skies and the views where fantastic, so in the afternoon I went to to local town to ...
Its snowing
... I stopped to take a photo when it started to snow. I just to took it in my stride thinking its just part of the adventure.
the pass was at 800m and as I started to wind down to the plateau I was sheltered by the trees then, it started to level out about 600m and the temperature roped down to 0.5 C. I was just thinking I not long know until I hit ...
Singing in the rain
This morning I found the reception lady to pay what I owed (4 euros), and then took off to Zilina, the first stop of the day. There I finally found a Slovakian cantina and had duck breast for 5 euros. I did a bit of shopping there, buying baby wipes to be prepared for a night of wild camping in the mountains, and took the road of Cadca. Right after exiting Zilina it started raining, eventually stopped, ...
Night rider
... as I could but had to get breaks from time to time to eat a bar or breathe a little. Towards the end I witnessed a marvelous sunset over the river though, but the nightfall worried me a bit, as I was still at least 15k away from my target campsite. I tugged my flashy yellow reflective jacket, installed my front and rear lamps, and as I looked like a Christmas tree, the cars certainly made sure to avoid me every time they ...

Location of this condo is outstanding- directly across the street from the ocean and steps to the river- this was our second visit and would love to do this again. Thanks Allen!
My husband and I lived in Flagler Beach for about 10 years, so wanted to return to visit the locale and friends. This condo fit the bill. Flagler is about halfway between Daytona and St. Augustine and only a little over an hour to Jax. and Orlando. There are often events in Flagler Beach and Palm Coast for entertainment as well as local sites. With friends, we discovered some exceptional restaurants such as a genuine Italian restaurant run by a man from Venice, Italy, called Osteria (where reservations are required but not at all hard to secure) and a Portuguese restaurant in downtown Flagler Beach called Porto.
The condo, although not facing the ocean or directly facing the intercoastal, has an L-shaped screened porch with the added benefit of enjoying breezes from three directions. You can also enjoy the intercoastal and sunset from the shorter side of the L. The property has a gazebo on a dock where sunsets can also be enjoyed and I found that few people actually used it. The same is true of the pool between the condos and the ocean. A couple of restaurants are also within walking distance.
In planning for our month in the condo, I packed a starter supply staples that I did not expect to be there. I was wrong-the owners have done a wonderful job of equipping the condo with basic necessities--toilet paper (although one-ply), paper towels, laundry and dish detergent, quality sample-sized soaps, conditioners, shampoos, etc., as well as lots of towels and changes of sheets.
Don't expect "beachy" decor, but the condo is coordinated, comfortable (maybe with the exception of the sofas), well-maintained, and SO conveniently located! It was a perfect size, too, for 2-3 adults who were there throughout the month. The neighbors, several of whom live there full-time, are very friendly and helpful, as well.
Each and every time I needed a question answered before renting or arriving, the owner was extremely helpful and responsive!
Excellent condo - location is awesome. Everyone is very nice. The owners are very responsible and great people to rent from. Have been coming here for many years and this condo is the best.
This condo is tastefully furnished and very comfortable. We loved having our morning tea on the screened in porch from which we could see the river. It was also a much appreciated spot for a drink in the evening as the sun went down. It is close to a number of good restaurants and a movie theatre complex and close enough to St. Augustine for a day trip if you've not been there to explore America's oldest city. We had a wonderful time!!!
This was our 2nd time staying at this condo. Just as before everything was way better than expected. This is a beautiful, well kept condo that we consider our 2nd home. It is close to many restaurants, grocery stores and other establishments. It is located just across A1A from the ocean. If your are planning a trip to this area I would strongly recommend staying here.
After working for 49 years, my husband retired August 31st 2015. I had been looking for a place on the beach at several locations, the Gulf, SC, etc. There is family nearby in Welaka Fl and we had been to visit them and made a day trip to Flagler Beach. We liked the community and I starting searching in Flagler Beach. We really did not need but 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, but I finalized my search concerning pet friendly accommodations. And when I told the owner our little dog, Daisy, was only 13 or 14 lbs., he approved. This was my first reservations with VRBO and you don't know if the pictures of the property are accurate or not. The pictures were more than accurate, they did not do the property justice. It was so clean, it is beautifully furnished, great bed and linens, fully equipped kitchen, having a washer and dryer was wonderful. And having a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom was very handy. The porch that wraps around the building where you can sit and watch the sunsets over the intracoastal waterway of the Matanzas River was very relaxing. And the proximity to the beach and the public Flagler Beach steps to the beach made multiple daily walks on the beach so easy. And the salt water pool area was so nice and private, even though it is close to A1A, and no one was hardly ever at the pool! Afternoon book reading was wonderful there. Convenient trash and recycling disposal, and a hose to rinse the sand off your feet and shoes before heading back to your condo. You are near to Publix, Dollar General, CVS pharmacy, many good local restaurants (Flagler Fish Market-scallops, yumm, Funky Pelican-get the lobster tacos), near to Betty Steflik Park for bird watching, watching fisherman and surfboarders on the pier, and sidewalks to take my walks if the tide was high and beach walks was out, and convenient to go to St. Augustine, or Daytona Beach, or Port Orange where my husband and I went to Massage Envy! Cannot say enough good things about this property. My husband and I will definitely be back for another relaxing stay at this property!

Cut in joint patrols won't limit operation
Reducing the number of joint patrols by international troops with Afghan soldiers will have a "minimal" impact on British operations in the war-torn country, the Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond, told MPs yesterday.

Now on to the winemaking.
But first we need to step back a bit. How did we know when was the right time to pick. It is not possible to judge by look, but taste gives a good indicator. We knew that we would be close, and checking the sugar content, or baume, of our grapes confirmed that they were ripe for picking. Using a hydrometer, the baume measured 13, which was exactly smack bang in the middle of the ideal reading of between 12 and 14. No need to doctor with sugar (not that we would ever do that!)
Having picked, we then sprinkled 8-10 grams of sodium metabisulphite per 100litres of grapes just prior to crushing. This kills the natural yeasts on the grapes. Some home winemakers skip this step and let natural yeasts do the work. Unfortunately, you have no idea as to how much natural yeast there is, so this method is a bit unpredictable. If you have ever had dodgy homemade wine, this is probably why.
We crushed using our combined crusher/destemmer.
Once crushed we transferred the grapes, skins and all (now called the must) into a food grade plastic drum with a lid. For the first 24 hours or so after crushing, the sodium metabisulphite will continue killing off the natural yeasts. Then you re-introduce yeast. Yes, sounds crazy. The must is inoculated with red winemaking yeasts and yeast nutrients (from a winemaking supplier), according to their directions.
Hopefully, fermentation soon starts at this point. Weird bubbling sounds come out of the drum.
For the last few days, our job has been to regularly punch down the skins that rise to the top so they don't dry out. We also tested for acidity, which should be between 3.3 and 3.4. Our must was a bit too acid, so we added calcium carbonate, and now all is well.
The other thing to monitor is that the wine does not get too warm, which means simply dropping ice bricks into the must, and regularly changing them. You don't want the must to be warmer than 30C. Fortunately, this hasn't been a big issue this week here. We've had a merciful respite from the heat, with nice temps in the low 20s. For once, mother nature is with us in our winemaking.
So that's it for the moment. Next stop...pressing.
Just for interest, here is what our winemaking central looks like:
So here it is. The wine is fermenting in the blue drum at left. If you are wondering what a microwave oven has to do with winemaking, the answer is nothing.
There are a number of commercial wineries around here and it was interesting to read a news report in the local paper about the picking. They noted that this year has been great for grape quality in the area, although quantity isn't massive. Just as we found. It was disappointing to note that the biggest winery here has bought a mechanical harvester. And there goes a few more jobs in this high unemployment area. But I won't go there here!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask in the comments. Me and Action Man will do our best to answer them.

Barber 2015 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 1632202700 | EPUB | 19 MB Hunting and sport shooting is steeped in tradition with the concept of passing it on being one of the most important things a rifleman can learn besides gun safety.

With over 50 vintage black and white illustrations, this book will delight gun enthusiasts from all walks of life.

By TYLER DAY
For Chivas USA it's all about respect. With more results like Sunday, the team won't have any trouble earning it.
Chivas broke open a tied game with three goals in the final 20 minutes to register a 4-1 thrashing of the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park on Sunday. The win improved the Goats to 2-1-1 and into moved them into a tie for 2nd in the Western Conference.
"It feels awesome to get a little bit more respect," said Juan Agudelo, who delivered a goal and assist in the triumph. "This team works harder than any team I've ever been on."
The game was up for grabs until the 73rd minute, when Joaquin Velasquez put in header from an Edgar Mejia cross to make it 2-1.
The Fire then had to chase the game, which opened up their defense that had been strong until that point.
Two minutes after the Velasquez goal, Agudelo settled a long ball from Jorge Villafana, out-muscled Fire captain Jeff Larentowicz for position, and guided a shot into the right corner to make the game 3-1.
"I thought it was huge our third goal," Agudelo said. "It gave us a lot of space to finish off the game."
Paolo Tornaghi, who was caught in between on Agudelo's goal, started in goal for the Fire in place of Sean Johnson, who is currently with the U.S. Men's National Team.
Things went from bad to worse for the Fire when defender Jalil Anibaba put in a deflected own goal in the 89th minute to make the final score 4-1 to Chivas.
"To score four goals is just a game changer," said Chivas USA goalkeeper Dan Kennedy. "It makes other teams respect you and be more defensive minded against you and that's important for us."
After an opening day 3-0 pummeling at Columbus, Chivas has rolled off seven points in its last three contests. It took the team 10 games last season to reach seven points.
"Everybody is so new it's important to get off on the right foot and build team chemistry together on the field and that's what we're doing," added Kennedy.
For the Fire, Sunday's loss drops them to 0-3-1, the team's worst start in franchise history.
The team did manage to score its first goal of the season when Patrick Nyarko was put through by Sherjill MacDonald in the 64th minute and it looked for a moment that it would propel the Fire to more.
MacDonald, who has been disappointing to this point this season, was significantly better on Sunday.
And like the team's home opener two weeks ago vs. New England, the Fire controlled possession and had more shots on goal. But they were again unable to put away early chances and Chivas made the most of its opportunities.
The Fire will have a week off to regroup before they play host to the New York Red Bulls on April 7. Both teams will surely be desperate for a win.
Chivas will be back in action next Saturday as the team will try to keep its promising season going at home vs. Vancouver.
"The last half of last season didn't go the way we wanted," said Kennedy, "but fortunately enough of the guys that are still here from that group have moved on and everyone else that is new didn't experience that.
"We're looking to move forward with this and we know we still have a long way to go."
Here are the match highlights:
Looks like its gonna be a bad year for Chicago
Now that they scored a goal they can set their sights on bigger things like scoring more goals for themselves than they have for their opponents. That tally is currently 1-1.
+1if I would have said the fire are going to suck and chivas was going to be good at the beginning of the year you would have thought I was crazy.
We suck so bad.
Wild Draw Four
I don't have an opinion either way on Chivas USA's hiring policies, but this is going to make some great stories throughout the season. The rise of the Canadian teams, Cascadia, Chivas, Donovan's walkabout, the looming question of future expansion…I love it. American soccer has drama, and drama draws attention.
That being said, if CUSA can't get their attendance up, sell that franchise to a city that cares.
"That being said, if CUSA can't get their attendance up, sell that franchise to a city that cares."
Having a winning record will likely help to fix that. When the team was making the play-offs their attendance wasn't that bad, these last three years or so has really taken the wind out their sails ticket-sales wise.
Less than 10,000 in Chicago today.
Bad weather, but still, all this talk about forcing CUSA to move makes me wonder what y'all think about the other cities that don't support their teams like the Canadians and Cascadians.
one word, midfield!
Old School
Poor manager, poor signings and less than average players.
Not sure what else Chicago Fire expect.
Agudelo had a sweet goal. Pure touch. Pure class. Pure skill. Hope he gets a lot more goals…the USMNT could use the competition.
DC Josh
ed - houston
He's been doing that for a few games now.
if u look he sure looked offsides on the initial play in the replay, thought one other also was not called on another goal also, but the mids have to step up to the plate, their play in the last 30 min, was not good in their defensive end.
Edwin in LA
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about…..the guy on the bottom of the screen is CLEARLY in front of Agudelo & the camera angle also shows the guy at the top in the frame when you see Villafaña kick the ball that he looks at least aligned with Agudelo if not in front of him. Look at the grass & the lines of the squares show you Agudelo is not offsides. If you pause the video at 7:03 or right before it when 7:02 is about to change to 7:03 you can see it.
The 1st goal was a cross that was not offsides, then I think it's Berry who heads it back, then Bowen heads it to Agudelo to Agudelo with multiple guys ahead of both Bowen and Agudelo who passes it back again for a nice 20 yard Golazo. The 2nd goal the guy who scored went all the way around and nobody was offsides, the defender for Chicago kept him and the guy in front of him onsides. Look at the 7:03 mark the goal was great, what screwed Chicago was that the wind held the ball up and sort of set it up for Agudelo to catch up to Larentowicz….but if it hadn't it looked like Agudelo would have the ball at the top of the box on his own vs the Fire keeper…
Glad he's getting it together. Still annoyed rbny traded him
Nyarko is a bust. Move on from him.
After that second Chivas goal, anyone think Klopas is secretly furious at Jurgen Klinsmann for taking Sean Johnson away simply to sit him on the bench as the #3 keeper for the two qualifiers?
(Ditto for Jason Kreis and Nick Rimando…Josh Saunders is a total mess at GK, there's a reason LA dumped him for Cudicini in the offseason.)
Injuries and cards can happen randomly, never know when backup keepers are asked to play.
But-but-but they picked those guys, knowing full well that the guys they were backing up were definitely going to leave this year – be it WCQ or GC.
I don't deny the coaches were miffed but it be a waste of time to be ticked at JK. I think it was more at the display of the guys in the nets or maybe them thinking to themselves…"yup, now I know why my peers were looking at me in a puzzled way when I picked that dude".
Good Jeremy
Looks like I have some crow to eat on how bad I expected Chivas Jr. to be.
space god
Chicago was my pre-season MLS Cup pick…
Agudelo's touch, sublime. his goal, uncanny.
This is why "I have" no team in the MLS. I just follow the sides with the attractive style. Based on the last few years, it appears that the owner of the Fire doesn't know and/or care about soccer. How can a team located in one of the best cities in the Country continue with their "meh" ways? From the scouting to the quality of their signings, the Fire operate in a manner of a small market team. Hopefully, the team continues to lose money via lack of fan support and the owner will do the right thing and sell the team (hopefully) to a local owner who actually cares.
DC Josh
I'm glad I switched the game off at halftime…
ed - houston
Why? You should be glad an eastern rival is in the cellar.
Chivas is going to be a team to watch this year I guess! There really is something to be said for playing like you have nothing to lose. But I guess with a keeper like Dan Kennedy you can play a back 3 and push number forward. Really glad to see Agudelo getting minutes and showing his quality.
For Chivas being labeled Racist, looks like the players have good chemistry
I think the two have nothing to do with each other. I'm turned off by Chelis' rhetoric and conspiracy nonsense, but I'm also very interested to see the team play. I think it's interesting to see an experiment where most of the players have grown up playing a particular style, especially given that it's a technical style, so Portland and Chivas, to me, are the two most interesting clubs to watch this year. I just wish Chelis and the rest of the management at Chivas would cut out all the garbage and just play football, and that they would actually get some fans to watch them play. I think, in the right situation, it would be a big boost to the league to have a successful team playing a highly technical style with Latin flair.

As the township continued to grow, the need for improved community administration and services arose. Over the course of seven years (1952-1959), Coon Rapids transitioned from a township to a village to a city. Since becoming a city, the population has grown to over 60,000, making Coon Rapids one of the largest suburbs in the Twin Cities metro area.

Mike Napoli has a lot of great memories of his two seasons with the Texas Rangers, including his first World Series. Now he's back, playing first base for the Boston Red Sox at Rangers Ballpark. Napoli says it's not ''too weird'' to be back in Texas and that he looks to competing against his good friends. After 54 homers the last two seasons for Texas, Napoli went into Friday night's series opener with a majors-leading 22 extra-base hits, including six homers. Napoli says the chance to play first base every day, rather than also catching, was the best fit for his career and health. He initially agreed to a three-year deal with Boston before a hip condition was detected during a physical, and is playing on a one-year deal.

Land Rover Provides Safe Haven For The Sword Shy (Video Inside)
When you associate Land Rovers and weapons, you tend to go with firearms as your tool for the job; whether it's the "Pink Panther" of the British Army, the Holland & Holland Range Rover (complete with shotgun rack) or one of the many Land Rovers used by the British Royal Family on hunting expeditions.
According to this new Land Rover ad for their LR4 SUV, the replacement for the LR3 is also…swordproof? The logic of sitting in a car with the windows down while trying to stave off an amateur samurai attack is a little questionable, but we get the point Land Rover is trying to make. Check the ad out after the jump.

Welcome to Magic Knight Games
Magic Knight Games is the home of Magic Knight a popular game character from the 1980's
Magic Knight started life in the ZX-Spectrum Game Finders Keepers and went on to star in a further three games for the ZX-Spectrum which were converted for numerous other, mostly, 8-bit platforms.
Finders Keepers and the other ZX-Spectrum games were designed and written by David Jones with Graphics by Ray Owen and the original idea of creating a game based around a knight in armour was by Albert Owen, Ray's father.
It has now been almost 30 years since Magic Knight first appeared and there are more tales to unfold...
Magic Knight will rise again...
Updated 12/05/14 - Added links to pages for the games and news at the top of this page
Updated 20/05/14 - Added Spellbound OUYA page and different screenshots for each game
Updated 27/05/14 - Added a contact page
Updated 23/06/14 - Added text to each of the game pages
Next - I want to use some of the OUYA graphics to do some sort of Magic Knight animation on a HTML5 canvas. Not sure what yet though.

The opposition leader, Silvio Berlusconi, said the measures would hurt the nation, the far-right National Alliance party accused the Prime Minister, Romano Prodi, of lying and the Communist Refoundation party said a golden opportunity had been wasted.
Ironically, the package seeks just 25 trillion lire (pounds 9.18bn) in deficit cuts - the smallest belt-tightening budget presented by any government since 1990.
But Refoundation, which guarantees Mr Prodi's majority in the lower house of parliament, felt the country had suffered too much tough budgetary medicine and was furious the government had pushed ahead with plans to hack back for the 1998 welfare bill.
Details of the cuts will not be announced until a deal has been struck with unions in the coming weeks, but Refoundation's leader, Fausto Bertinotti, has already made up his mind. "Our first impression is this: We just don't buy it. We can't agree to this." he said.
Refoundation has said it will fight any attempt to cut pensions, expected to be the mainstay of around 5 trillion lire of planned welfare savings, even if this meant pulling support from Mr Prodi and sparking a crisis. In a bid to sweeten the bitter pill of welfare cuts, the government promised 5 trillion lire to boost the depressed southern economy, but Refoundation said it was not enough and demanded a shorter working week to help create jobs.Reuse content

Love these boots! Very comfortable. I can wear them at work all day and my feet don't get tired or sore. Would by them again
Verified Buyer Reviewed by SLMT from NYC on Friday, February 15, 2013These are just great boots. True to size, good looking, stylish and comfortable. I wore them all day working and walking around NYC and had absolutely no problem.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Hopejoy from US on Friday, December 21, 2012Last year I bought these boots in brown. They are so comfortable that I've walked in them for hours. I like them so much I bought the black, too.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Equinelady from Santa Barbara, CA on Monday, December 3, 2012Real suede boot with a comfortable fit. I will be taking these to my shoe repair man to be fitted with rubber heel bottoms that don't slip and slide on slick surfaces. That is the only reason for the 4 star rating, instead of 5. Otherwise a tremendous value!
Reviewed by Jen in Jackson Hole from Jackson, WY on Saturday, November 24, 2012Super soft suede, cute style. Heel is high but still comfortable. Wore for 11 hours on concrete floors in my gallery and my feet were only tired, not sore at all, which I can't even say for most of my flats. I do wish that the heel had a more expensive look, but it's not something that most people would notice. Got lots of compliments when I wore them. I know i'll wear them a lot. Overall, a great purchase.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by CGW from Chicago on Monday, November 12, 2012Very comfortable wedge heel. It is not knee high and hits upper calf. I would have preferred it to come up a bit higher. Also, the heel/wedge looks a bit "plasticy", but at the bargain-basement price, worth it.

When Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based cable news giant rolled out its massive new American affiliate one year ago, creating a full-force 24-hour cable news channel—800 journalists, several studios, support staff, the works— in a move that drew cheers, skepticism, but mostly puzzlement: why?
Another cable news channel? Aren't there too many already? Al Jazeera America's CEO, Ehab Al Shihabi, an Al Jazeera veteran, has a ready answer.

Dominic Caruso's
Reading Room
A stunning murder of a man and the death of a six year old boy catapult you into the world of Francesco "Cheech" Caruso. Jaw dropping truth brings the story to a close.
reveals the dichotomy of Francesco Caruso's passionate life, with his golden tenor voice, uncompromising love and hands blood stained from murder. The reader is struck with raw frankness contrasted against poetry from the heart. "Only Yesterdays" is as unpredictable as the wind - twisting and turning through the life of an immigrant, against money, power and the
court system in 1927.
is an accumulation of writings by Dominic over the last fifty-five years of his life. It has everything from poetry, prose, short stories, notes, reflections and first chapters of existing and soon to be published books. It's an accumulation of writings that will make you laugh...or even cry. Every once in a while, you'll see an amusing translation and interpretation of history or current events as we know it.
If we survive birth, we all land somewhere. My landing was at 1579 Madison Ave, New York NY 10029 to the talented, gifted and aggressive Caruso clan. This book chronicles my life from birth to my childhood on Prospect Avenue New York NY, and the Bronx with my teenage years on Long Island during the 1950's and the birth of Rock & Roll. It continues until I reached a point when fate gave me a choice to make. My decade of Rock & Roll was about to end with the 60's and a new group of teenagers. I had to change with it, or get run over by infuences like the Beatles from across the pond and the changing sound of Rock & Roll. So, I had a choice to continue the same old same old...or change my ways. I was no longer a teenager. The choice/change was up to me....

Bed Day
Ugh. I've been sick all week. When I move around, I get a cough, I'm horribly congested and can't smell anything, and I have an occasional sneeze or two. And that sick feeling, you know, the yech-I-don't-want-to-do-anything's. But today's Sunday and guess what my mother told me last night...
Stay in bed all day Sunday.
And now starts the mystical ceremony of the Bed Day! In order to properly perform the Bed Day, I got up at 2:30 (don't call me lazy, I had four long nights in a row because of Junior County Band and I promise I worked myself to a skeleton each of those days.) and got my mother's laptop, which is where I'm making this post from, my iPod, my backpack full of homework and a good Stephen King thriller, a box of Entenmann's cookies, a mini bag of Martin's potato chips, a box of tissues, a bottle of water, a pen, a pencil, my cell phone, and some Post-It notes and brought all the stuff up into my bunk bed. Yes, I believe I am prepared.
The only thing I regret is not bringing up my television remote. And a big bag of Doritos which I considered bringing, but didn't.
I'm getting a little tired from the uncomfortable position I'm in right now, because I have the computer in the upper right corner of the bed because that's the only place I get wireless connection, and my legs are pinned down by my physical science book.
I just want to ask something before I finish this. Am I taking Bed Day to a whole different level of laziness?
I guess you could answer that in the comments or answer it to yourself without posting a comment or be a jerk and don't answer at all.
<3 Bed Day

Arizona Heart Institute, Phoenix, AZ
Metabolic syndrome (M.S.) constitutes a cluster of risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension, diabetes, central obesity and low high density lipoprotein levels. Any three of the above risk factors qualifies to be classified as M.S. Many patients undergoing cardiovascular surgical and percutaneous interventions may not have been diagnosed and treated adequately for this syndrome so as to prevent perioperative morbidity. The prevalence of M.S and postoperative complications has not been described adequately in literature.
All patients undergoing cardiovascular and thoracic surgery and percutaneous interventions at a specialty hospital over a 12 month period between June 2001 and June 2002 were included in the study. Data was collected on demographics, risk factors, lab data and diagnostics preoperatively and type of intervention and postoperative complications. Patients were classified as having metabolic syndrome with at least 3 or 4 or 5 risk factors. Analysis was performed using SPSS version 12.0.
Of the 312 patients, 68.6% were males and 31.4% females. M.S. was prevalent in 54.4% of patients with 33.3% having 3 risk factors, 14.4% having 4 risk factors and 6.7% having all 5 risk factors. Most frequent interventions were Percutaneous coronary interventions (27%), Endoluminal graft of aorta (16%), peripheral arterial interventions (15%), coronary artery bypass surgery (14%), abdominal aneurysm repair (11%), carotid endartectomy (10%) and femoral popliteal bypass surgery (5%). Most common postoperative complications include renal dysfunction (20%), blood transfusion requirement (17%), pleuropericardial effusion (12%), atrial fibrillation (7.4%), congestive heart failure (2%) and stroke (2%). Overall prevalence of complications was 42%.
1. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome is high in patients admitted to hospital for cardiothoracic and vascular surgical or percutaneous interventions. 2. Prevalence of postoperative complications is high in this high risk interventional procedure.
An opportunity exists to identify patients with metabolic syndrome preoperatively in cardiothoracic and vascular interventions (both surgical and percutaneously) and implement preventative therapeutic strategies to decrease postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Birdman + Young Thug Involved in Alleged Plot to Kill Lil Wayne
Birdman and Young Thug have reportedly been named in an indictment as co-conspirators involved in a plot to kill Lil Wayne.
Birdman and Young Thug have reportedly been named in an indictment as co-conspirators involved in a plot to kill Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne's five insolent words, "I don't like New York," have upset many New Yorkers. But one person who is standing by Weezy's comments is his Cash Money boss and surrogate father Birdman.
While an eyewitness claims that Drake started the whole nightclub melee that left Chris Brown and several innocent bystanders injured last week, the Toronto-bred rapper has one man in his corner: Cash Money CEO Birdman.
After conquering the music game, Cash Money CEO Birdman is now ready to invade Hollywood. The tattooed-heavy executive revealed to XXL that he plans to launch Cash Money Films this year. Among the projects in development includes a headlining movie for Omar Epps (of 'House' fame) and a Young Money-starring flick called 'Rich Gang.'
Although Cash Money Records is a powerhouse label with plenty of cash to spend (just ask Birdman), they keep finding themselves in legal trouble for not paying monies to other people. Courthouse News Service reports that EMI has slapped Cash Money with a lawsuit claiming that the label owes them a whopping $491,000 in back royalty payments.
If you were shock by the news that Cash Money Records signed rap-rock group Limp Bizkit, you might be surprise at what is coming next. Lil Wayne will duet with the Bizkit on their new single, which is set to drop next week.
Birdman has made some unique signings in the past, but this one might take the cake. Cash Money Records has added the veteran rock-rap group Limp Bizkit to their star-studded label. Young Money CEO Lil Wayne spilled the beans when he called into New York's 98.7 Kiss FM on Thursday (Feb. 24).
Recession? What recession? In a new video posted by photographer/director Derick G, Birdman lives up to the name Cash Money as he hands out Bentley Mulsanne vehicles to Lil Wayne and Mack Maine . If you're interested in buying one, the lavish car is priced at $285,000.
The three Musketeers of hip-hop -- Birdman, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne -- show why they are on top of the rap game with their materialistic video for 'Y.U. Mad.' The track is from Birdman's upcoming solo LP 'Bigga Than Life.' The clip also introduces us to the female Weezy character played by the versatile rapstress Minaj, herself.
