Landon Donovan's latest comments about his future, and about his desire to continue playing, rang the same alarm bells that went off back in May when he first revealed uncertainty about his future.
Since he burst on the scene a dozen years ago to begin what has become the best career in U.S. Men's National Team history, Donovan has been an integral and indispensable piece to the national team puzzle. After his impressive 2010 World Cup the last thing U.S. fans wanted to think about was what life might be like for the national team without Donovan.
Well, it's time to start thinking about it.
Yes, he's only 30, and can still play at a high enough level to be a solid contributor to the national team's qualifying campaign, and ultimately the 2014 World Cup, but if his heart's not in it, and if he simply walks away, we will be forced to accept the reality that there will be life for the U.S. national team without Donovan.
It just might come sooner than most would have imagined.
In one regard, the past year has been good training for what life might be like without Donovan. He has missed so many national team games that it has allowed new faces to step in, and new players to impress Jurgen Klinsmann. Graham Zusi has emerged as a viable midfield option, and while comparisons to Donovan are unfair, Zusi's emergence does offer some comfort as the realization that Donovan won't be around forever becomes a more clear reality.
That being said, we shouldn't assume Donovan is done. It's clear he's struggling for motivation right now, and it sure sounds like he's burned out and in dire need of a break. There is plenty of time for him to get that time off to re-assess. The U.S. national team can afford to wait because it has spent much of the past year playing without him.
Make no mistake. Even in his current "What's my motivation" mode, Donovan is still one of the best players in the U.S. pool. He still has speed, is still one of the most intelligent players you can put in a U.S. uniform, and his versatility means you can put him all over the field.
And if he doesn't come back? If he decides this winter that it's time to hang up the boots? The national team will go on. Just as it did when Claudio Reyna retired, when Tab Ramos retired and when John Harkes stopped playing.
Obviously in Donovan, the national team will lose the best attacking player the team has ever had, but the team is better equipped to deal with it now than say two or three years ao. Today, the national team has Clint Dempsey playing at a high level. It has Michael Bradley playing at Roma. The team has a forward dominating the Dutch League in Jozy Altidore, and and a player making a strong national team comeback in Eddie Johnson.
No, we may not see a player as dominant on the national team as Donovan was at his best, but even Donovan isn't that Donovan anymore. It isn't a reach to say the 2010 World Cup was his peak, and the two years since have seen him start out on the other side of the mountain, heading toward the end of an oustanding career.
That said. Donovan is still a quality player who, when healthy, is still good enough to start. Without him, the options on the wings for Klinsmann get a bit thinner. Donovan could player either flank in a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, and even play as a forward. No other player in the pool offers that versatility, and his absence would definitely weaken the depth the national team currently enjoys.
There is hope for reinforcements coming up the ranks though. Along with Zusi, you have Brek Shea who is still growing as a player, and Josh Gatt, who is enjoying a bright start to his young career in Europe. Klinsmann's use of a 4-3-3 also allows him to tap into the sudden depth the national team enjoys at forward, which makes having pure wing options less of a necessity. Losing Donovan, without any of those wingers truly emerging as a serious threat, would probably making using a 4-4-2 less of an alternative for Klinsmann.
Yes, the national team can survive without Donovan, but the U.S. is better off with him in the fold in 2013 and 2014. The best hope for the national team is to have Donovan recapture the hunger. To take some time off and find his love for the game. The best thing about the national team now is that it doesn't need him to carry it. He can very much be a role player. Someone who can take advantage of the attention a player like Dempsey draws. Someone who can read the game on a high level like Bradley and combine with him on defense-cracking passes.
As every national team player will tell you, once you are away from the national team it becomes something you miss, and it is tough to imagine Donovan not wanting to still be a part of it all once the Hexagonal begins and the national team starts playing important matches against the likes of Mexico and Honduras. It is the reason he went to Mexico City and played in the August friendly despite not being completely healthy. It's why he got on a plane and flew from Los Angeles to Miami with an injured knee before the team's recent qualifying wins against Antigua & Barbuda and Guatemala. He was hoping to be able to go, but he had to know he couldn't, even as he walked on that plane.
Those were the actions of someone who still cares about the national team, and still wants it to be a part of his life. He can do all the public soul-searching he wants, but those moves were the ones of somebody who we shouldn't go writing off just yet.
Donovan put the chances of him playing in the 2014 World Cup at 50/50. It is a safe bet that number will chance once he has had some time off and a chance to decompress and think about his future.
If, by chance, he decides his national team days are over, it will be a sad day, but the team will manage without him. Just as the team has for much of the past year.
Donovan still has a lot to offer the NT, and I hope he's around come 2014.
Old School
Short term: Not having Donovan has been a huge blow to any potential improvement in "attacking football" that JK wanted to implement.
Long term: It could be a blessing Donovan has been absent and a much needed wake up call to the current player pool that needs to step up.
Outlook: I'd love to have a fresh/mentally ready Donovan for 2014. However, if he continues to have one foot in the grave, I want no part of that mentality/attitude and he can stay at home.
Here's a win/win scenario:
1. LD takes a half-season off, which he calls a retirment (end of 2012-December 2013), ends his contract with LA and MLS, grows a beard, goes on walkabout, learns to knit, etc…
2. the USMNT, resigned to a post LD world, turns to giving playing time and callups to some NextGen players during the hexagonal (MB, Zusi and beyond), giving them important match experience and time-to-be-a-hero opportunities that would be taken up by LD if he were around.
3. After ingesting some especially clarifying herbal products in a non-descript Peruvian Mountain valley, LD rediscovers his love for footy. Since he's out of contract he signs a free January 2014 transfer to a non-MLS club (maybe in Peru? habbout Mexico? Ah the irony…), plays like a man possessed (think Gomez 2.0, only like on an epic scale) and storms back into National Team relevance.
4. Team USA enters the WC Finals Tournament in Brazil with an incredibly deeper and younger pool of young attacking midfielders plus a revitalized a healthy (and still bearded) LD.

…or you could just give me a callup. Problem Solved!
I predict that exactly what you said will happen!
*slow clap, I mean really slow*
Take a bow, PD
My vote for SBI comment of the week.
Chad Christopher
haha, brilliant
dude I agree with the best comment of the week….you made me laugh so hard!!!
Loved it. Especially "and still bearded".
I'm all in if we can get t-shirts with his bearded face that say "I'm still here".
while the offense is deeper in some respects, like forward ( with scorers in Holland, Austria, Mexico and MLS), USMNT is weaker than in the recent past in terms of wings-which is where Donovan typically operates.
Donovan and Beasley lit it up in 2002, both disappointed in 2006, but Beasley was just coming off a stand out Champions League performance in 2005-no one in the current pool outside of Donovan has reached a performance level anywhere near that. In 2010 Donovan was still at peak levels, as he showed at Everton …..creative mids have almost always been a hole with BB and Klinsmann, but that's a place Donovan also made a difference form time to time, when he played behind the target forward…
USMNT does need Donovan for at least this cycle as there isn't a single wing option playing in a top-tier to mid-tier European league (Gatt and Bedoya are in Scandinavia), or has been able to string together consistent seasons in MLS (Shea)… unless FJ moves up to LM or Chandler comes back and plays RM, there is virtually no speed or pedigree on the wings… Zusi has filled in nicley, but is not someone opposing defenses will be losing sleep over…
Chad Christopher
i agree with most of what you said, but i think zusi is still getting his USMNT sea legs under him steady. also, he still has good potential to learn and improve with experience, just like shea.
I like Zusi's play, and think he's a highly intelligent footballer, but he doesn't have near the speed of LD.
I'm having a hard time seeing Shea being in the same league, quite honestly. I would love to eat crow on that though. .. .
Shea has all the tools and the physical attributes to be better than Donavan,
What Shea lacks and Donavan has, is experience, maturity and Soccer IQ. donavan is the US most creative attacking player ever and it's just obvious he sees the game more clearly than any one else in the Pool (MB is close but still not on LD level),
Shea does not have the speed burst that characterized Donovan's play for so many years.
Comparing Shea to LD is ridiculous and completely unfair to Brek.
By the time LD was Brek's age he had been a star in a World Cup ,had signed a long term deal with Leverkusen and was tearing up MLS.
The simplest way to describe Donovan is that for almost all of his USMNT tenure he has been our most dangerous player, the one the other managers have to plan for. That may never happen with Shea.
Guy #2
Lando could have been the first real world class player the US has ever had, if only he had the mentality of Dempsey! I actually think that, of the current squad players, MB may go down as the best of the group. I would say Holden had an outside chance at becoming a world class players– before all those injuries.
Agree 100%……Donovan is not as mentally strong as Dempsey
Yes, Deuce is close. Some might consider him world class, but the strict definition of WC is one of the top 11 players in the world and he's certainly not in that group. LD with a Deucebrain would have been Ryan Giggs.
It's not that simple.
Wow I agree 99.9% of what you said. I'm just not counting out Stuart yet.
Then don't you mean 67%?
New version of the Lemonheads classic?
"It's a shame about Landaaaay"
People should realize that Donovan is fiercely loyal to growing soccer in America. If you followed him in his early career he admits he wasn't ready to play overseas but at the same time he saw a need to grow MLS as a league and for the league to showcase American players of his talent. Not all the great MLS players have to be foreign they can be American and we as American soccer fans should be eternally grateful for his staying in the league during those painful years just like we are grateful for Anschutz and Hunt.

If Landon opts out of WC 2014 for any reason aside from injury, I guarantee once he's 40 yrs old and above (maybe earlier), he will regret it. I'm not claiming to be a shrink or anyone else crawling into his head. Just stating a fact.
Actually, you're stating an opinion, but I'd probably agree 🙂
Jamie Z.
Oh, right. Beat me to it. I guess I should have refreshed the page before replying.
Jamie Z.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I do disagree with the increasingly prevalent use of the word "fact" when stating an opinion.
divers suck
Jamie Z. !!! Thanks for pointing that out! I'm being serious. I had no clue I actually did that until you mentioned it and also HATE it when I read it!! My apologies to all!! I hope you got my point (and yes, opinion, anyways) though.
"If that plane leaves the ground (for Brazil) and you aren't with them, you'll regret it. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow. But soon, and for the rest of your life."

He'll regret it for about as long as it takes to watch the clip of the Algeria goal for the 143rd ba-zillionth time.

I don't mind if LD makes the personal choice to give up international football before WC2014. But, honestly, we've got to know early in 2013 if that's the case.
Counting the hex, Gold Cup, and early 2014 friendlies…we've got maybe 20-ish games. If Landon won't be there in Brazil, we have to get Zusi, Gatt, Bedoya, Shea, etc., etc., etc. a significant amount of minutes with the USMNT.
Ultimately, I can't imagine LD playing with us in the hex and then bowing out before one last moment in the sun. We'll know one way or the other, rather soon.
"But, honestly, we've got to know early in 2013 if that's the case."
No we don't.
JK , it should be obvious to everyone, is already planning for life w/o Donovan. Klinsmann is from Germany and he has seen many teams have to go into World Cups w/o their "star". He also knows that if LD is ready at the last minute, he will pick him.
We've been essentially living life without him for the past year. I'm not saying that he isn't a huge boost to the team, but I'm certainly not terrified of being without him. We can win without him, but it would be nice to take the pressure off of younger guys like Shea, Gatt, Gyau, Pontius, Corona, etc. to perform while they learn from a great player in Donovan.
We beat Mexico without him, sure, but it was a hideous, narrow game where we packed 10 men behind the ball. Can we currently play on even footing against a good team without the width LD provides? Personally, I don't think so. I'm interested to see what How Zusi fares in that situation. Does he have the speed to press forward and track back? Not sure.
Jose Mourinho
a hideous brand of soccer that won the game… what's the problem with that?
Nothing wrong with it. Just that it is a low percentage way to go about things. You have to rely on converting on the one or two chances you will have all night while hoping the stronger team misses the five or six chances THEY get. You can take one or two games that way, but you won't win any tournaments.
Guy #2
Greece circa Euro 2004 disagrees, but I'm just being devil's advocate, I agree with you.
Mexico was a friendly. It did not count. We know LD can produce under real pressure, the kind that game did not have.
Zusi did well in the Qualifiers facing real pressure but he is not Donovan and these comparisons are unfair. With Donovan you always knew that he was capable of turning it up a notch when needed (second half Slovakia game). Zusi may grow not it but time will tell.
well said and I agree
Our 2 biggest weaknesses with the MNT are CB and wing. We are specifically weak in terms of speed and crossing ability at wing – 2 qualities LD possesses in spades. LD is still probably our fastest player (until Gatt takes the pitch) and anyone who saw him in his recent stint with the Toffees understands that he also offers the best cross at speed of anyone in the pool. It would be very difficult to play good, attacking soccer Against top teams without LD in the lineup. Shea simply doesn't have the touch or the cross and Zusi doesn't have the speed. I worry that Zusi won't be able to stray forward at all against top competition for fear of getting caught field and not having the pace to track back. In 2 years? MAYBE GATT or Gyau will be ready, MAYBE Shea will have improved his touch, MAYBE Zusi has a bit more ace than most give him credit for, but that's a lot of maybe.
Chad Christopher
i agree. although i know it's unreasonable to think about our NT winning the cup in brazil, i have a habit of hoping we do. i'm almost certain we have a legitimate–although most likely small–chance of winning it all, if donovan is playing, altidore is playing, chandler comes back, and we find a cb or two out of all our prospects. it might be possible for all that to still happen. if only one happens, i doubt we have a shot.
Maybe, but add a key injury to someone like Deuce to the mix and and even with your planets aligning we don't make it past the last 16.
Shea has a devistating cross, his touch is actually quite good he is just used to MLS where he can be a bit sloppy and get away with it which he can't do in International play. What all the Players lack that LD has is vision. Donavan sees that game better than any one and is able to pass players into runs they would not make on their own that make THe USMNT more dangerous than they would otherwise be. The only other play in the pool I've seen with a similar type of vision as LD is ADU and he has other weaknesses that probably will keep him out (even though he still is rediculously young when you think about it).
I disagree. The USMNT has many talented players.
Their biggest weakness with the USMNT is that there is a lack of players with experience at the highest levels of pressure. In the World cup that slight edge, orthe lack thereof, can kill you.
Why are my comments being moderated? I didn't say anything remotely controversial.
Wouldn't be surprised if this story turns out to have a surprise ending.
Mike R
Shea is regressing and is one dimensional and GATT is already injury prone. The cupboard is empty.
All it will take to overcome his angst is for MLS to let him go. He only has one year left on his contract, so even MLS should see that it would be best all-round, if they let him go for a low or free transfer.
Old School
In your scenario, Don Garber becomes a Soccer Mom, doesn't care about his responsibility (MLS) and promotes his availability to Manage the Senior USNT.
That's the only way it would happen.
Chad Christopher
i think they would only transfer him to a champions league team, and for a high price, and that team would want him playing now, which i don't think landon really wants.
Landon is massive. I was not an early fan, but am now a convert. Could he take on a role and position shift similar to Giggs?
If you follow international soccer closely. This happens A LOT. Some players talk about retiring (when they may have one more World Cup as a "veteran / ace distribution man / super sub role" – some follow up with the early retirement – others don't. (Some even "do" retire only to come back at the last second after being begged by their fans + presidents / prime ministers on National TV. And some show they really weren't at World Cup level anymore… but others…
Look at Roger Mila. He was up there in age over 40 years old & did amazing in Italy 90′ (They were prob. the most fun team I cheered for outside of my US / South America favs.)
But if he retires. That's that. He did a great job. Always lit up Mexico in friendlies & the big game in KOREA 02′ The US has no one like him (at all.) But it would be a good chance for Klinsy to see what options there are. This team has been injury prone & players have not always been firing on all cylinders. But the addition of the youngsters + the veterans from South Africa 10′ may work out.
great read. good insight Ives.
Lazio Curva Sud
John Harkes "stopped playing" because he had sex with Eric Wynalda's wife. Don't believe me? Ask Roy Wegerle.
Klinsi needs to find a way to get landon reinvigorated and excited about soccer again. Perhaps orchestrate – it's a wonderful life style — a tour through the world now if donovan had never played soccer. soccer is still played on football fields with yard lines, and only by USL and WPS, because MLS folded for poor viewership. beckham is playing in china. we don't don't get out of our group in 2002 and don't qualify in 2006 or 2010. The best rivalry in the region is honduras and mexico. dempsey fizzles after he gets paid in his first contract with fulham cause he doesn't have the insatiable desire to be considered better than donovan. soccer continues to be a sport that americans know as something girls play in high school. there are no US "soccer blogs." abby wambach and alex morgan are the only US players that gatorade gives a sponsorship deal to.
worst of all, in a world without donovan, bein sports STILL has the rights to USMNT games, and doesn't allow them to be broadcast on any station anyone gets.
im scared of the prospect of qualifying without donovan. We can barely beat Antigua. We need all hands on deck. We could easily be beat of a qualifying spot by a more determined, focused, and organized team from central america. Teams like panama, costa rica, and Honduras are not going down without a fight. I really dont buy the excuses of made from the Antigua game. We have players in EPL, we need to win that game 4-0 whether or not the field is a mud pit, is not wide enough, it was too windy, etc etc. The teams that can win away from home will qualify in the next round. Im worried that without donovan's experience, vision, passing, and nack for the back of the net, that might not be us.
For me at least, the mystery of Landon Donovan's decision to skip the MRI scan in Los Angeles before the Antigua game but instead to fly to Miami to meet with the USMNT is now over. I did not buy the story from Donovan that he skipped the MRI because his knee felt better and he thought he would be able to play against Antigua. As mentioned in the article above: "It's why he got on a plane and flew from Los Angeles to Miami with an injured knee before the team's recent qualifying wins against Antigua & Barbuda and Guatemala. He was hoping to be able to go, but he had to know he couldn't, even as he walked on that plane."
I agree with that statement 100%, but I couldn't figure out why Donovan would make the trip knowing he was not yet fit to play."
But after Donovan's interview yesterday it is all starting to make a bit of sense. Could it be that Donovan, after missing so many games under Klinsmann, flew to Miami with injured knee and olive branch in hand to make peace with Klinsmann, show Klinsmann he is still committed to the team and wants play bad and to be a part of the USMNT Hex squad and hopefully his last World Cup in Brazil?
I think it is possible that is what Donovan was doing and Klinsmann should accept the overture and do all he can to reintegrate Donovan into the team. Yes, Zusi is looking good and it is possible that Zusi or someone else might be seriously challenging Donovan for a starting slot in Brazil 2014. But I imagine a fit Donovan would be able to hold his starting spot and be an inspiration to the team.
Worst case scenario…Donovan retires from football, grows a hipster beard, pretends to be a hipster, befriends Waldo, and ends up marrying a newly divorced Kelly Ripa. So…let us suppose he will not be in WC2014, then what? Let me shake the crystal ball and see what I see…(play Wayne's World "do-do-do" sound on repeat here blurring the camera into wavy lines)
Here are the 23 I see going to Brazil…
(3) GK – Howard – Guzan – Rimando
(8) Defenders – F Johnson – Cherundolo – Cameron – Bocanegra – Goodson – Chandler* – Lichaj – Edu
(8) Midfielders – Bradley – Williams – Zusi – Jones – Holden – Shea – Corona – Kljestan
(4) Forwards – Dempsey – Altidore – Johnson – Johannsson*
Yep, we'll be fine without him. Thank you for your service Mr. Donovan.
Apparently, Aron Johannsson pulled out of Iceland WCQ with a groin injury. Could possibly have faked the injury to at least give the US a try. We'll find out soon!
Dear JK,
Please work your magic and call-up Aron Johannsson for the upcoming friendly v Russia. Also, please take a look at the rest of these guys who are eligible to play for the USMNT.
Aron Johannsson – FW, AGF Aarhus
Seb Hines – DF, Middlesbrough
Gotoku Sakai – DF, VfB Stuttgart
Fabian Hurzeler – MD, FC Bayern Munich
Julian Green – MD, FC Bayern Munich
Alex Zahavi – MD, Maccabi Haifa
Thank you.
Lost in Space
I'm all for JK looking at Aron, Seb, and Gotoku; I would also add Gatt, and Bedoya as players needing to be brought into a camp for a look.
As for Hurzeler…he's still a few years away IMO. I'd say the soonest we'd see him for the Senior team would be following WC 2014 (even then he's likely to be w/ Germany).
As for Green….He's a great prospect, but I'm fairly certain he's a striker. But again still a few years away.
Zahavi I think has already accepted a call up to Isrial's national team. Besides not sure he offers anything above that Gatt/Gyau/Johannsson wouldn't offer. I'm all for have as many quality players as possible, but don't see him advancing beyond roll player with the USMNT.
Start of an otherwise great day, you mention Eddie Johnson as a potential replacement for LD. This is worse than watching "Eraserhead."
White Kix
So, Klinsman's main focus for the USMNT is motivation (Because it is obviously not tactics or player selection, he must spend more time on youtube looking for motivational speakers to bring into training camp who can tear phone books than watching game tape of his players and oppents), yet, his best player is considering early retirement due to a lack of motivation?????????????? I expected the Donovan Klinsman relationship to be strong considering Klinsman brought Donovan to Munich a few years back, but it doesn't look that way. I wonder if there were some issues/strains/etc… during that time and the two can't stand each other (or just simply don't like each other)?

Dear Virginia
For the past six months I've been going out with a divorced man and we love each other very much. But he seems obsessed with his children. He wants us to move in together, but that means having them over every weekend and I don't know that I could stand it. I understand that he loves them, but they seem to be the number one priority in his life, and my concerns always come last. Surely they should learn that they won't be treated like princes and princesses in later life, and learn to fit in with other people?
Yours sincerely, Maggie
Virginia says...
What a grisly upbringing you must have had yourself, Maggie! Clearly, you have no good role models to refer to when it comes to loving and looking after children – because you couldn't write to me like this without, surely, being both childless yourself and having no experience of a good parent's love.
Bad parenting is so often excused with phrases such as: "Well, he's got to learn that the world is a cruel place sometimes!" or "She can't expect me to wait on her hand and foot now – she's got to learn that life isn't easy!"
Some parents seem to think that if you kick a baby in the head then this is an excellent way for the baby to learn that sometimes you can get shafted in later life. But what they don't seem to realise is that children can only cope with blows in adulthood if they have been loved and cherished and made to feel worthwhile in the first place.
Children of divorced parents are particularly vulnerable. They feel guilty. They don't know why, but they're sure they are to blame. This is one of the reasons why your exemplary lover is spending so much time with his children. He's trying to reassure them that they're not guilty, that he loves them, that the divorce isn't their fault. Let's hope their mother, at her end, is doing the same.
Remember, too, that you, if you stick around (which sounds unlikely since you're so jealous) will always be there. But the children won't be. They'll grow up and grow away. Your partner has got to make the most of every moment he can spend with them now, because he'll only have them as children for a finite time. He can't afford to lose a minute.
He is also creating something. Imagine him as a cabinet maker. You wouldn't ask him to botch a perfect job halfway through just because you want his attention, would you? Because if he does, the cabinet will never be able to stand upright, the doors will always stick, the wood will warp. He's only got one chance with his kids and he wants to give them as much love and security as he can while they're still young. So that, as you say, they can have enough confidence to fit in with other people when they grow up.
Unlike, I have to say, you. Are you "fitting in with other people"? No, you're not. Are you behaving like a princess, expecting the world to stop for you? Yes, you are. And that's, sadly, probably because you didn't have a mother or father like this man who, at the moment, you can't appreciate.
Can you not see how lucky you are to have such a nice chap?
Readers say...
You're being selfish
Love me, love my dog – that's what happens when you take on a divorced partner with children. You don't say how old they are, but bear in mind that divorce is painful for all those involved, and your partner's kids just want reassurance that, no matter what, their dad still loves them. Your statement that "they seem to be the number one priority in his life" is incredibly selfish. You have your partner to yourself for the whole week – five whole days of sheer bliss – yet you begrudge those kids a measly two days with their dad. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Simple.
Caroline Hockely
He's just a normal father
It is obvious that you are not a parent. Children are the number-one priority of every parent, and his feeling are just natural, not extreme. If you're not happy with this then perhaps you should try to move on to a relationship with someone else who is not a parent. Otherwise, this will always be an issue between you and your partner, either implicitly or explicitly. Parenthood is for life.
Professor Bulent Gokay
Keele University
Shock, horror!
A parent who makes his children his number one priority? What is the world coming to?
If you love him, go the extra mile
I was saddened to read your query. Imagine how you would feel if the roles were reversed and you were the single parent and the man of your dreams had difficulty accepting how important your children were to you.
How long could you be with him when he was so reluctant to be a second father to them, or couldn't bring himself to amend his plans to include their needs?
At the end of the day, would you really put your partner before your youngsters? I think we both know the answer to these questions, and therein lies the answer to your dilemma.
If you really love him, if you really want to build a future with him, go the extra mile and include his children. In the long term if not the short, you will wonder why it was ever a problem.
Ralph Moses
Next week's dilemma
My husband and I have split up and we have agreed to share the custody of our son, aged six. The problem is that my ex is devoted to our pets – a tortoise, two cats and a pet hedgehog in a cage. He is insisting that I take all the pets over to his new house on the days our son stays over. I think it is madness because it's surely better for the animals to stay in one place. My son keeps begging me, saying he doesn't want to visit his dad without them, and I wish his father had never suggested it. What can I do?
Yours sincerely,

Ripoff Report
CHARTER ONE - CITIZENS BANKwww.charterone.com Internet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Mea culpa, I said I was going to close my Charter One Accounts, but I didn't learn my lesson from prior bad problems with them, so I have no one but myself to blame for this latest nightmare, but hey, maybe if I note my experience, again, others will learn from my mistake.
This morning I checked my account and found it overdrawn to the tune of 22 bucks. I thought, how is this? All my stuff is accounted for, and I have 7 bucks left, where did I mess up? I checked and found a service charge, totally unexpected, and so I called, found out it was for 'over draft protection', which is an annual fee of 30 bucks to transfer money from my savings account to my checking account. Now, I will say that in and of itself is a rip off. Why would you charge someone a fee for a piece of code that links two accounts together? I write software for a living, it doesn't take much coding effort to do this, and yet Charter One thinks this is worth 30 bucks a year!!! Unreal. I call the bank and the manager on duty put the 30 bucks back and unlinks the accounts and apologizes for the misunderstanding.
Fast forward 4 hours and my account is now 70 bucks overdrawn? HUH???? I call back and get a stupid piece of garbage manager named GREG who gives me this self-righteous speech about paying for my mistakes. Say freaking WHAT? You shouldn't have taken my 30 bucks! And you know that and put it back and now you want to hit me for overdraft fees for a service charge you put back???
I told him I was going to file a ripoff report against him and Charter One, and I was going to close my account and email bomb every charter one and citizens bank executive I could find, but he didn't care and wouldn't put my money back. The piece of crap little punk wouldn't budge.
Here's my problem with this. I had no idea that there was a fee for this 'over draft protection' with my own money in the first place! Not explained to me at all, or I wouldn't have signed up for it, I am too poor for that crap. Nor did i know it was 'increased', crap I didn't know it even existed. He gave me more garbage about how we sent you a notice, blah blah blah. I don't do anything via paper, my stuff is all internet, and the last notice I got from Charter One was a threat that they were going to switch my savings account to a non-interest bearing account because I was using it too much. I can't stand banks that just blithely help themselves to your money because it is in their bank. That's why banks are going under. They can't figure anything out anymore, and they pass the costs on to the small person.
So God only knows how much I am going to be overdrawn tomorrow, it will be bad no doubt, I had just enough money in there for the transactions coming in with 7 bucks to spare. NOTE - there was enough to cover what was coming in, but not to cover this mystery suprise charge.
Greg, it is my sincere hope that charter one demotes or fires you after this. I intend to encourage all my co-workers, family members, friends, and anyone else I can to take their business to NCB or to a credit union.

Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 12, 2009POSTED: Saturday, September 12, 2009
To Clarify -
1. I was charge a service fee for linking my accounts together, which is what Charter One calls 'over draft protection'. I did not opt to take loan overdraft protection, it costs money. I (stupid me) was under the impression that linking my accounts was free. My credit union does it for free, and only charges you a fee if you go over 3 auto transfers in a 30 day period.
2. I did not know about the fee, so I called to complain and had the fee reversed. Keep in mind that I DID tell them it was okay to link the accounts, but I was never told there were any fees, so I obviously did not know when they were going to hit my account. The bank just charged me the fees, surprise, and it caused my account to go negative. Had the fee NOT be charged, I would NOT have been negative. I would have only had a 7 dollar balance, but the important thing is I wouldn't have been negative.
3. The 2 hours my account showed negative cause 2 overdraft charges to be posted to my account.
4. When I called the bank to complain again, they refused to refund the NSF fees, although they HAD put back the fee that caused it.
5. The manager Greg was the most self-righteous pompous JERK I have ever had the displeasure to deal with IN MY LIFE.
6. I am going to be posting some funny videos describing my experiences with Charter One over the past few years. They will be available. on YouTube. Hoping for a positive response.
Hope this answers your questions. I am a single parent, I live paycheck to paycheck, and currently my balance is minus 300 bucks because I had a bunch of little transactions coming in. They DON'T care at all except for the money.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

HPGL Export for Rhino is a HPGL plot file export plug-in for Rhino. This plug-in gives Rhino the ability to export geometric data from Rhino to HPGL Plot (PLT) files.
HPGL is the Hewlett Packard Graphics Language designed for specifying 2D graphical information for the HP range of plotters. It was not intended as an interchange format but some software suppliers use it as such. HPGL is a command set embedded in the ROM of pen plotters to help reduce the work required by applications programmers to create plotted output. HPGL uses two-letter mnemonics as instructions for drawing lines, circles, text, and simple symbols.
HPGL Export for Rhino breaks down Rhino entities into pen movements and writes them to the output plot file. HPGL Export for Rhino supports the following plotters:Ā
Hewlett-Packard 7475A
Hewlett-Packard 7550A
Hewlett-Packard 7580B
Hewlett-Packard 7585B
Hewlett-Packard 7586B

Hewlett-Packard Draftmaster 2 (7596A)
Hewlett-Packard Draftpro (7570A)
Hewlett-Packard Draftpro-DXL (7575A)
Hewlett-Packard Draftpro-EXL (7576A)
HPGL Export for Rhino is very easy to use as it adds a new file type to the Rhino File Save As dialog box. To export a PLT file select Save As from the File menu. Select "HPGL Plot Files (*.plt)" from the "File of type" combo box and select a PLT file to export to.

Japanese Currency Strengthens; Hits 2-day High Against Pound
In early deals on Friday, the yen advanced against its major counterparts despite reports showed that Japan's consumer prices stalled in February and retail sales tumbled the most in seven years, suggesting the economy was edging toward deflation. The yen rose to a 2-day high against the pound.
Consumer prices in Japan posted little or no change for the year to February. The government reported that its core consumer price index was unchanged in February from one year earlier, while the overall CPI was down 0.1 percent on year. The data showed overall inflation was down 0.3 percent compared to one month earlier.
The information triggered warnings from analysts that Japan faces deflation, but Finance Minister Kaoru Yosano reacted Early Friday saying it was too early to conclude that deflation was already occurring. I believe it is too early to describe the 0.1 percent decline as deflation, Yosano told reporters in Tokyo.
Another report showed that retail sales in Japan plummeted by 5.8 percent in February when compared to a year earlier. The decline was the sharpest in 7 years and the 5th straight month of lower retail sales.
An unprecedented drop in exports is forcing companies to fire workers and cut wages, weakening household spending and pushing the economy closer to its worst slump in the postwar era. With the benchmark interest rate already at 0.1 percent, the Bank of Japan has little scope to stop prices from falling.
Central bank Governor Masaaki Shirakawa said this week that core prices are on the verge of falling and policy makers are committed to preventing the economy from sliding into a deflationary spiral.
Japan's currency also strengthened today on speculation domestic companies are bringing home overseas earnings before the end of the financial year on March 31. This in turn prompted some investors to take profits from recent strong gainers such as the Australian dollar after its jump to a near five-month peak earlier this week.
Growing stability in stock markets had encouraged investors to buy riskier and higher-yielding currencies this month, propelling the Aussie 10 percent higher versus the yen. The New Zealand dollar had been another beneficiary of such moves after government yields rose in a sign that investors were reining in expectations for lower rates.
On the other hand, the yen had been battered due to views that Japan could be the slowest among major economies to recover from recession after a slew of dire economic data.
Policymakers around the world have been struggling to stimulate growth, cutting interest rates to close to zero in many big economies, increasing infrastructure spending and buying assets from troubled banks and companies to pump more money into the system.
The U.S. economy, the world's biggest, shrank at its fastest pace since 1982 in the fourth quarter, data showed yesterday. But the headline figure of a 6.3 percent contraction was slightly better than the consensus forecast of a 6.6 percent decline.
Against the currencies of US and Europe, the yen climbed to 97.72 and 132.69 during early deals on Friday. If the Japanese currency moves up further, it may likely target 97.1 against the dollar and 131 against the euro. The dollar-yen and the euro-yen pairs were worth 98.76 and 133.60, respectively at yesterday's close.
In early trading on Friday, the yen rose to 86.97 against the Swiss franc. This may be compared to Thursday's close of 87.65. On the upside, 86.1 is seen as the next target level for the Japanese currency.
The yen jumped to a 2-day high of 141.29 against the pound in early trading on Friday. The next upside target level for the yen is seen at 140.4. At Thursday's New York session close, the pound-yen pair was quoted at 142.81.
The final fourth quarter GDP reports from France and UK, Italian and the Euro-zone industrial orders report for January are expected to influence trading in the upcoming hours.
Turning to the US, the Bureau of Economic Analysis is due to release its personal income & outlays report for February. Economists estimate the report, which is due out at 8:30 am ET, to show that personal income fell 0.1% during the month. On the other hand, personal spending is expected to have risen 0.3% in the month.
The final reading of the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index for March is due to be released at 10 am ET. The report is expected to show that the consumer sentiment index edge down to 56 from the mid-month reading of 56.6.

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - September 21, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 'Together Brothers' Given 'Fair' Rating Together Brothers" with Ahmad Nurradin and Anthony Wilson. A Sanford Howard Production released by Twentieth Century-Fox. At the Paramount theater. Hollywood roting.- PG — Parental guidance suggested By Dec Halliday So far, in the wave of black exploitation movies, we have been given heroes who are cocaine pushers, prize fighters. pimps, prostitutes, con men, private detectives and hard-bitten cops. It was more or less inevitable that some film maker would make his hero a teenage street gang leader. In "'Together Brothers" the gang leader, II J. (Ahmad Nurradin), is upset because someone has gunned down Mr. Kool (EM Bernard), a sympathetic black policeman with whom H J. has formed a close rapport. Moreover, H.J.'s five-year-old brother. Tommy (Anthony Wilson), has witnessed the murder. The shock of the experience has rendered him speechless and he is in danger of being slain himself. Pigeon Toed Director William A Graham gives us a lot of shots of the killer's feet — he is pronouncedly pigeon-toed — as he looks for an opportunity to slay the child. H J. gets his gang together, steals police files in search of leads and begirt to track down the pigeon-toed murderer. There are a number of rather nicely done scenes in "Together Brothers" such as H.J s escape from the police station with the file and the scene in which the gang bursts into a homosexual's DRAPORT INN All roods ore now open to ♦he Droport Inn Featuring Theirs. - Fri. -Sot.-Sun.

But these are rare exceptions. The script is embarrassingly threadbare and the film bogs down several times. Spotty Acting The acting is also spotty. Nurradin has a few good scenes but his acting technique seems to consist mainly of frowning down at hts toes whenever anyone else delivers a line. Without a doubt, the best actor in the cast is little Anthony Wilson His face is the picture of mute horror as he is pursued by the murderer. He is really quite effective. All in all. however, "Together Brothers" rates an "only fair" as screen entertainment. Rehnquist Defends Club Memberships WASHINGTON (UPI) -Supreme court .Justice Rehnquist says judges would live in a "sanitized, gray world" if they had to give up club memberships and other civic activities in order to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest. He said such a lifestyle would result "in no appreciable gain that I can see for the judicial process over what I would describe as a thoroughly ethical approach mixed with some common sense." "It can . . . end up with judges as a group living in such a sanitized, gray world that they lose some of the quality of three-dimensional human beings."

Anyone know a good place to rent uplighting in the IE or OC?
(9) Comments
Ambiance Pro Lighting. They have budget friendly packages and provide and onsite technician to change lights through event!!!
You might check with your DJ to see if they offer it, or know people who do :)
yes I do. He's in Arcadia & Burbank area but I know that he travels.
Only request is that you tell him Yasmine from A Regal Affair referred you. His name is Jack
We are using Carcano DJ and I spoke to Larson's Lighting they had good prices too.
QueenBee....he was our DJ! We paid for their lighting in our package.
ChrisNScott: How did you like Carcano???
He did my MOH wedding last year in November and that's really the only thing I heard people commenting on, he was that good. SO....when it was our turn, we booked him.
Carcano himself was too expensive though, so we booked DJ Bobbi. Everyone had SUCH a good time and it was so much better having them do all of our lighting, one less vendor to worry about.
Just so there's no confusion, Carcano and Bobbi are both from Carcano DJ. lol
We booked Mike Carcano, we got lucky because our wedding is on a Friday and he's also our chair vendor, so it worked out!
Yeah. Mike is awesome! Like having George Lopez do your wedding. hahahahha

Urban Political Decentralisation
€ 96,49
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Januar 2005
BeschreibungIntra-municipal decentralisation in Scandinavian cities is unique with regard to the volume of services devolved to urban districts. The book investigates the democratic and efficiency effects of decentralisation reforms in six major Scandinavian cities. Special attention is given to consequences of different institutional arrangements as well as to providing an understanding of reform processes. Data for the descriptions and analyses are provided by a number of sources: Surveys with district politicians and samples of citizens, published evaluation reports and interview data from three case studies especially done for this study. Institutional arrangements differ between Copenhagen with relatively autonomous districts and Swedish and Norwegian cities whose districts are more closely integrated with the centre. These differences do matter, both with regard to reform effects and the trajectories of reform processes. Institutionalisation, adaptation and power seeking behaviour of political parties are important factors for understanding the reform processes.
