Best Uses
I've ridden over 6,100 miles in two years. Flat tires were driving me crazy. Solved the problem with Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires. 3,000 with not one flat.
Best Uses
I found this bike is really well balanced for a hybrid. I found it easy to ride fast for commuting and it can take a bumpy gravel path in stride. Good for jumping curbs. I know this next point is contentious but I wish bikes came with a stock kickstand option.I Had a struggle installing because frame is weird shape.
Best Uses
I bought this bike about a week ago. I use it to commute to work. I'm very glad I was shown this bike as it has all the things I need to get me to work and still has the ability to do some off roading if needed. This is my first real "new" age bike; I have only ever have own Canadian Tire bikes prior. The difference is huge! The tires allow me to pedal without getting tired too easily, and I can coast for a block or two. My biggest con for this bike is that the saddle is a bit hard, but I believe that the bike is intended to be rode with proper biking clothing. Regardless, for a cheap fix you can change out the seat for a more comfortable ride if needed.

Chapter 9Mature
Sandra (20): Fixable?
Sandra went to her room feeling cold inside. Rhyley hadn't cheated - which she was immensely relieved about - but neither had his actions been completely harmless and inconsequential. He had stopped himself from committing a real crime... but only after a talking to.
Sandra lay down on her bed and stared at the ceiling, a haunting question on her mind - what if Amelie hadn't said anything? She dreaded to think of the bleak, black chasms she'd be falling through now, knowing that her soulmate had made love to another girl. Rhyley had come close - scarily close- and it was only Sandra's belief that her life would only be complete with her soulmate that was keeping her from cutting him off completely.
That night, Sandra had a dream that she forgot when she woke up in the morning, although she remembered vague feelings of fear and despair. When she remembered that it was Monday today she wondered what would happen. Two weeks ago today she had learnt that she had a soulmate. Last week Rhyley had used his New Moon energy to make her kiss him against her will. Would this week begin with a good or a bad day?
Sandra breakfasted and showered, dressing in a dress-top and leggings. She absently searched for and found the refill pad that she and Rhyley had decorated with a sketch of a wolf each, their possible married name and other random doodles. She found herself looking into the eye of Rhyley's wolf and imagining loping easily through a sunlit forest. She put the pad away and went downstairs to watch TV.
At about 11 o'clock, Rhyley came to call. Sandra answered the door to find him standing outside holding a plastic bag.
"Someone couldn't stay away," Sandra said, amused - though secretly she was pleased to see him as well.
Rhyley smiled nervously.
"I bought you some things."
"Things plural?"
Rhyley blushed slightly.
"Well, only two."
"Let's see, then," Sandra said smiling.
First, Rhyley produced a fake rose. Sandra felt a sinking feeling of disappointment.
"I know it's more romantic to buy a real one," he said sheepishly, "but this will last forever and you don't have to do anything to look after it."
In light of yesterday, Sandra couldn't help but ask "Are we a fake rose? Destined to last forever, but without any obligation to look after the relationship?"
Rhyley looked pained.
"That's not what I meant by buying it; it was meant to show you that I ... care about you. Enough to buy you romantic symbols."
Sandra sighed slightly.
"Rhyley, love isn't about gifts." She gently took the rose from him. "But thank you. And I'm sorry."
"It's okay," he mumbled. "I don't know much about love and what people do when in love."
Sandra leant forwards to kiss his hair.
"They share things - beautiful moments, facts about themselves, kisses..."
Rhyley met her gaze, smiling slightly.
"Well, we've shared a few of those, haven't we?"
Rhyley pulled the next item out of the bag. It was a necklace, still looped through its paper holder so that it could be put on hooks in a store. An 'S' hung on the chain, made of silver metal and embedded with small light blue gems.
"Aww, Rhyley," Sandra said softly. "I love it."
"Could I put it on you?" Rhyley asked shyly.
Rhyley pulled the paper holder gently apart to get the necklace out and Sandra turned around, pulling her ponytail to one side. The cool metal came around her neck and then she felt the light brush of Rhyley's warm fingers at her nape - which suddenly felt sensitised - as he re-clasped it. She turned back to see Rhyley watching her slightly intensely.
"Can I kiss you?" he asked quietly.
Sandra thought about the yawning chasms that had been narrowly avoided, the loss of Rhyley which could have been the result of a different set of events yesterday. She imagined Amelie Stoke holding hands with her Rhyley and said "No", stepping out of the porch to beat him to it, kissing him passionately. She wanted him and needed him and he was hers.
Rhyley held her tightly and she could feel his apology as he responded. The kiss was almost beautifully sweet, and achingly full of desperate emotion. Sandra pressed herself against Rhyley, needing to feel the solidness of the relationship that would continue; holding his shoulders almost as if she were about to use them as something of a springboard.
Rhyley pulled away, surprising her. He was breathing heavily.
"Sandra, Sandra, hold it."
Sandra opened her eyes and realised that she had been silently crying.
Rhyley stroked her back.
"I'm not going anywhere," he told her gently.
"You'd better not be," she returned, mildly aggressively, wiping her tears away with the back of one hand. She felt strongly possessive of him.
"No - I can see that you need me. Listen, let's hang out today. Do something other than just kissing. Something..." He paused. "Beautiful." He looked sheepish as he asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Sandra thought about it, thought about ideas that she'd had when she'd fantasised about her perfect romance.
"How about we go for a walk together?" she suggested.
"A walk." Rhyley smiled. "That sounds great."
Sandra went inside to find her mother and told her that she was going out for a walk with Rhyley. Her mother looked delighted.
"Have fun, darling," she said as Sandra went upstairs to get ready, mentioning it briefly to her curious father along the way.
Sandra put the fake rose away in her bedroom and came downstairs with a jacket on and her phone in one pocket. She left the house, closing the front door behind her and smiled at Rhyley who had been waiting outside for her.
"Ready to go then?"
Rhyley smiled back.
"Yep, let's go."

You wouldn't believe but I am energetic, temperamental, gay, resilient, tender and sincere lady who is family-oriented. I am a reliable friend as well and I hope that I am a good mother. At least I'm doing my best to be a good mother.=) I am sure you wouldn't regret if you write to me and we will start our journey through life together. In my spare time I like to communicate with my son, I read some fairy-tales for him. We try to get ready for her first form at school. We also like to play different games and have fun as well. When I am with my friends I am fond of spending as much time as I can in a forest, where you can see beautiful scenery of Ukrainian nature, breathe fresh air, play volleyball and cook our food on the fire. I really want to know what kind of girl you are looking at this dating site. Why do you like ukraine girls?
I have no special demands to appearance of my future husband. I will look on his inner world first. I hope my beloved man would be self-sufficient, attentive, tender, strong and family-oriented. I wish my man has a strong character to feel safe next to him, but at the same time I'd love to have fun and joke with him. That's why I value good sense of humor in a man. I am looking for thankful man who will value and appreciate everything I will do for him. I hope on this find love site I find such a man:-)

Uma alternativa maravilhosa para um dispendioso e minúsculo NY Hotel Room!
My family stayed at this apartment April 1-11 and what a delight it was! The initial booking, Tracy and I kept in constant touch via email up to our arrival. One of her lovely friends met us at the apartment to give us our keys. There was a letter welcoming us with good information about the apartment.
The pictures look exactly as the apartment is. It was very clean and tidy. The windows were especially cleaned before we arrived. It was hard to tell if the windows were open or closed, it was so clear! This apartment is perfect for a family of 3. My son was very comfortable the room he stayed in.
We were allowed to use the spices, sugar and condiments. So helpful when you don't have to spend extra money purchasing those things. The washer/dryer is so handy. The weather wasn't that great and it helped to be able to wash our wet clothes.
The best part of my mornings was having coffee at the kitchen table and looking out the window at the hustle and bustle of people going by and kids going to school. Tracy made herself available for questions and inquires regarding the city and told me numerous times to call her anytime I needed to (huge relief to have someone offer and mean it ) Its very hard to find honest people when looking for vacation rentals. I have heard so many bad stories. I assure you when you book with Tracy, that she does everything to protect all parties. It was greatly appreciated to not have to worry about that all.
The apartment comes with "Doorman Service" It was great! We befriended one of the doormen. He was very kind and we looked forward to our evening chats. There are lots of great restaurants and shops around. Awesome local organic markets and coffee shops are everywhere!
I honestly do not have one negative thing to say about this apartment or the great service we got from Tracy. It made our holiday that much more enjoyable.
Thank you endlessly Tracy! We WILL be back again soon. :)
We just came back from NY, had a wonderful time. We are a family of five so the apartment was great for us. Two of my daughters slept on the air matress, which was very confy actually. The apartment was clean and very well mantained, just as it looks in the pictures, very nice. It has an elevator and a guard at the door. The owner and her assistant were great to us. We were able to use the salt, sugar, olive oil, cereal, coffe, etc. so we didin´t need to buy that kind of things. The location is a little up town for what we visited as tourists but very family friendly. There was a supermarket just around the corner and the subway four blocks away, but is better to take a taxi if you are a family of five. I would really recommend this apartment.
Sabrina and Arianne did not disappoint! This was a excellent vacation property for my family from London.
They had everything prepared and my family were thrilled with the apartment and the location. Was a home away from home.
This will always be our first stop. Thank you Sabrina and Arianne!

They gave us the Britney/Madonna pash, the Kanye stage-jacking and that infamous foam finger.
But what will MTV's Video Music Awards deliver this year? And could anything EVER top Miley?
Aussie band 5 Seconds of Summer have promised to dethrone Miley as the VMAs wildest performers ever, threatening to hit the stage in little more than a sock.
But all jokes aside, Nicki Minaj could well light up the complaints line if she recreates her scandalising Anaconda video.
The sexually-charged video sees a scantily clad Minaj writhe around like a serpent as she twerks uncontrollably.
Less likely to shock are Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande, who are all booked to perform.
Queen Bey leads the nominations heading into this afternoon's awards, with eight nods. Closely followed by Iggy Azalea and Eminem, with seven nominations each.
Homegrown hero Lorde will be in attendance, presenting an award and nominated for two Moon Men: Best Female Video and Best Rock Song.
The Royals singer Tweeted her surprise at being nominated last month, calling herself the black sheep of her categories.
OMG i am the black sheep of both my categories hahahaha— Lorde (@lordemusic) July 18, 2014
whether we win or not, it blows me sideways that a video starring my friends, my train platform & my game arcade could even be up for a vma— Lorde (@lordemusic) July 18, 2014
The 17-year-old will face off against Beyonce, Katy Perry, Iggy Azalea and Ariana Grande.
Follow all the action from the MTV VMAs here after midday.

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
On 6 April 2015, Bracknell Forest Council commenced charging the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
The following documents set out the council's CIL charging regime
- CIL Charging Schedule (PDF, 845kb) - sets out the CIL rates and charging zones
- CIL Instalment Policy (PDF, 82kb) - according to the amount of CIL payable, this sets out when payment to the council will be due
- CIL 'Regulation 123' list (PDF, 118kb) - lists those infrastructure types and projects to be funded wholly or partly by CIL
- CIL Surcharges and Interest (PDF, 121kb) - provides guidance on the council's surcharge and interest policy on CIL demands
Section 106 Planning Obligations, although scaled back, will continue to operate alongside CIL in the funding and delivery of infrastructure to support growth. View the council's approach to securing Planning Obligations.
What is CIL?
The CIL is a charge on new development payable to Bracknell Forest Council. It will be used to address demands of growth, including funding infrastructure such as new schools and transport improvements, needed to support new development in the borough. For more information, visit the Government's guidance on the operation of CIL.
Is your development CIL liable?
All applicants for full planning permission, including householder applications and reserved matters following an outline planning permission (and applicants for lawful development certificates), are required to complete a CIL Additional Information Requirement form providing the information upon which any CIL liability can be assessed.
To find out if your development is liable for CIL and how this may affect your planning application, please visit our page about how to make a planning application.
Guidance is also available on the Department for Communities and Local Government's planning practice guidance website.
Replacement dwellings and householder extensions
CIL charges are not normally applied to applications for replacement dwellings and householder extensions (unless the householder extension creates a new dwelling).
Please note, for applications to replace an existing dwelling, if the dwelling is demolished during the course of application being determined the proposed development, if approved, will be CIL liable as the net increase of 1 residential (Use Class C3) dwelling is liable for a CIL rate in the Bracknell Forest Council CIL Charging Schedule unless it is erected in Central Bracknell. This includes section 73 applications that propose an increase in floorspace to these type of developments that have been granted planning permission and where demolition has occurred before the decision.
If the dwelling is demolished during the course of the section 73 application being determined, the proposed increase in floorspace of the approved development is CIL liable. In addition, as demolition is considered to be development (Section 56 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended)), applicants would be unable to claim the exemption for self build housing that is contained in the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended) (paragraph 54A and 54B) unless a claim for the exemption is made before the demolition has taken place.
Estimating CIL liability
You can use our CIL estimator to help you estimate liability for CIL.
Indexation for CIL increased on 1 January 2017, the estimator will reflect this increase in any calculations.
What CIL charging zone is the development in?
CIL charging zones in Bracknell Forest are shown on the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) map, which will help you to identify what zone a development is within.
Adoption of CIL
The council's CIL examination took place on 21 November 2014. Following receipt of the Examiner's report (PDF, 236kb), the council, at its meeting on 25 February 2015, decided to commence CIL charging on 6 April 2015.
Annual return
The following report identifies how much Bracknell Forest Council CIL income was received for the relevant period, including how the income was spent.
CIL Annual Return 2015 to 2016 (PDF, 96kb)

CIL queries relating to development in Bracknell Forest can be emailed to email@example.com, and we will do our best to help.

The Ravens' offense has suddenly found its legs - and arms.
Starting with its final possession of the first half, Baltimore has two touchdowns in its last three possessions - the latest being a 20-yard pass from Joe Flacco to Dennis Pitta - to build a 17-6 lead over the Colts in the middle of the third quarter.
The Ravens' offense is up to 311 yards after Flacco went 3-for-4 for 76 yards and a touchdown on the last drive. Anquan Boldin has been the biggest beneficiary with three catches for 106 yards in this quarter alone.
Overall, Flacco is 9-for-19 for 234 yards and a score. So it hasn't been his best day altogether, but the deep ball is back and that threat has the Colts inching closer to desperation mode as the seconds tick off the clock.
Update: Adam Vinatieri has now accounted for all of the Colts' offense after his third field goal of the day cut the Ravens' lead to 17-9 with 40 seconds to go in the third quarter.
That ended another long drive that failed to produce seven points for Indianapolis - 15 plays for 72 yards over 7:46.
On the drive, Colts wideout Reggie Wayne made his 89th career postseason catch, moving into second place all-time behind Jerry Rice (151).
Update II: The Ravens have upped their lead to 24-9 with plenty of credit due to Boldin, who just leapt over a Colts defensive back to pull down an 18-yard touchdown.
Boldin is up to five catches for 145 yards and a touchdown so far today after that five-play, 70-yard drive. His 145 receiving yards is a Ravens single-game postseason record.
A little more than nine minutes to go. Looking more and more like Baltimore can charter its flight for a re-match with Peyton Manning in Denver.
Update III: Linebacker Dannell Ellerbe has left the game with a right ankle injury and his return is questionable.
Ellerbe has nine tackles today.
Update III: The Colts might've been the hotter team going into the playoffs, winning nine of their last 11.
But it's the Ravens that are onto the divisional round of the playoffs after dismantling Indianapolis 24-9 Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.
The Ravens lost four of their last five games, but their defensive improvement late in the regular season carried over into the playoffs.
Baltimore held the Colts to just three field goals, despite permitting 419 yards.
In making their NFL-best fifth straight playoff appearance, the Ravens can add a new distinction, making it five consecutive years with a postseason victory.
Now, Baltimore must travel to Denver for a Saturday meeting with the Broncos, who won 11 in a row to claim the AFC's top seed and whipped the Ravens 34-17 on Dec. 16.
It'll be a challenge, but Ray Lewis' career is still alive after an impressive victory over Indianapolis.
Lewis made a team-high 13 tackles in the win.
Since coach John Harbaugh joined the Ravens in 2008, the team is 6-4 in the playoffs and is now one win away from its third trip to the AFC championship in five seasons.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Michael Bradley isn't a fan of missing games, but that's exactly what he had to do in September in order to sort a future that he is currently enjoying.
Having been called into every U.S. men's national team camp this year aside from January's, Bradley was omitted from Jurgen Klinsmann's roster for a pair of friendlies last month. Rather than join the new U.S. head coach for his first elongated camp, Bradley needed to resolve things at the club level after having fallen out of favor with Borussia Moenchengladbach.
While it was admittedly tough for Bradley to miss the matches against Costa Rica and Belgium, both of which were 1-0 losses, the midfielder knew it needed to be done so that he could finalize a deal with Italian club Chievo Verona.
"You never want to miss a game," said Bradley, who is already in the process of learning Italian. "But having said that it was still, in the long run, important for me to get things sorted out in Italy, and make sure the paperwork went through and things on that end were all squared away."
Bradley completed the move at the end of August, and it took him less than three weeks to settle in. He made his Chievo debut on Sept. 18, coming off the bench and playing 18 minutes in a 2-1 loss to Parma.
Since then, Bradley has started and gone the distance in all three of Chievo's league matches. The club won twice and tied once in those games.
"It's been a good change for me; it's a really good league, it's a good club," said Bradley. "Been there now for a good month and just being in training every day, and now obviously the last stretch gotten myself a few games. After the first two games where (the team) had only one point, after that to come away with some good results and start to move ourselves up the table, it's been good."
Things at Moenchengladbach may not have ended as well as he would have liked, with the club demoting him to the bench back in January. That ultimately led to him being loaned out to Aston Villa for the second half of the season, though a full transfer to the English team failed to materialize.
Regardless of how things with the German club ended, Bradley still looks back at his years there as positive, knowing that they helped him develop into the player he is today.
"It was good for me. After playing in Holland (with SC Heerenveen), it got to the point where I needed a new challenge, a step up, and the time leading into the World Cup I had the opportunity to play regularly for a good club in a big league," said Bradley. "Just week in and week out, getting games just meant that I was able to keep myself sharp for the national team and the qualifiers and then eventually for the World Cup."
Bradley hasn't been the only member of his family on the move recently. His father, former U.S. head coach Bob Bradley, signed on to coach Egypt last month, and Michael admits he is excited for his father's new challenge.
Like his father, Michael Bradley has a new World Cup cycle in front of him. That means that getting in games every week with Chievo is a task that Bradley will have to accomplish in order to remain in the conversation for a starting spot on the U.S. team.
That task is also one that Bradley needed after three years with Moenchengladbach.
"Like a lot of things," said Bradley, "there comes a time when you need a new challenge and you need a fresh start."
Second City
I think he's at the appropriate stature of club he should be at this point in his career.
Glad to see him settling in and getting well earned minutes.
Great to see Bradly Jr. starting games in a good league. With him back in the in middle of the field for us, I see a comfortable win over Honduras.
I got really into the sport when studying abroad in Italy over 10 years ago. I went to nearly half the Roma games, saw the ac/inter game. Totally blown away by the intensity of the fan experience, but also could not believe how insanely good the players were. It just seemed like a completely different sport than the one I'd seen played in the states.
While serie A might not be quite at the level it once was, it's a serious accomplishment that Bradley's starting on a decent team there.
Charlie G.
Not a bad place to be – Verona's a beautiful city, and the weather in Italy this time of year is certainly a lot better than England or Germany. What I like most is going away from what might be a more "comfortable" fit (like another team in England or Germany) – it's a risk, but the upside is development – cheers for that !
Indigo Montoya
He's learning the catenaccio-way in a league that's been a bridge too far for American players. I like everything about his move to Serie A and solid playing time. Hopefully he can impart that knowledge to the USMNT.
"And the best part about being in Italy is that I'm closer to FIFA House, so that I can file my one-time switch to the Egyptian National Team. Not many people know, but my Mother, Linh-Dzeah AlBraadleykar is actually an Egyptian citizen.
Plus, I have the feeling I would get along very well with the coach.
When my room is clean."
I hear that the Egyptian coach wears sweats in public; do you really think he cares about clean rooms?
Che Cazzo
LmFaO , Eurosnob and DCP You guys are hilarious.That exchange is effen priceless…..Im in tears ,thank U guys for the great laugh!!!
he's not exactly a goal scorer. If we win comfortably its because we finally score. Not because our D-Mid is playing better.
Yeah, because the nepotism jokes haven't gotten old at all in the past four years.
A good distributor may not score but can definitely influence the scoreline.
Did you watch the US Open Cup game last night? Alonso had more influence on the final score than any other player on the field.
Ay ay ay.
Possession is 9/10 of the law.
He will help us score goals, just like Xabi Alonso helps Madrid and Spain score goals, and just like Van Bommel helps Holland and helped Bayern score goals.
che cazzo
get a grip and lighten up .U must be a tree hugger!
non sequitur…?
It's great to hear and see he's adapting to the league. Is he planning on learning any Italian? I know he's fluent in Dutch and German, so Italian would be just as unique
O/T but isn't that ABC sitcom "Happy Endings" awesome?
Bradley is 24, already a vet of the Dutch and German leagues. Impressive especially for an American
Michael F.
Did you actually ask him these questions? How did you put this article together? Just curious. Thx.
What the heck happened in this thread after the first few comments? Is there a full moon tonight?
Watch Season Episode
I'm a great fan of Chiev, thanks for this photo.
I'm just glad that his future with the nats from this point on will be a result of merit and nothing more.
I am still not convinced that he will be a starter 6 months from now but if he is… then it will be because Jurgen thinks he's the best at what he does and not his family ties.
It will be interesting to see what his role will be with a management change. I think the next two games will make or break him as a starter
wow guys, i'm not saying he's a bad player. but Edu and Beckerman did pretty well the past couple of games. Bradley isn't the best passer. Yes I know a d-mid can prevent goals from being scored. We have a decent defense, its our offense that is having problems. Having Bradley won't improve our possession and even then we have already seen we have possession under JK no matter who is out there.
Since JK has taken over our possession has drastically improved and our opportunities have drastically decreased.
"Bradley isnt the best passer" ?? Actually, his successful passing percentages have typically been one of the highest on the team, although one can argue he makes small passes. He's not going to slot the perfect through ball that often, but he does switch the point of attack quite nicely and opens up the field.
"he's not exactly a goal scorer. " ?? As far as Center Mids are concerned he has clearly one of the top goal scoring rates.
MB- 9 goals in 60 games
Torres- 0 in 13
Clark- 2 in 31
Holden- 2 in 17
Reyna- 8 in 111
Bradley is a starter for sure. It's his 61st cap and he's only 24. Lots of nepotism charges over the years but he's always proved them wrong. His competition is Edu and Torres. Beckerman is solid but not up to the level of a WC.
Ya but he only scored those goals because his dad was the coach. His stats clearly need an asterisk next to them.
I don't think anybody had trouble with Bradley on the team. My main problem was that he was seen as the player that we should run our offense through, but I don't think that is ever where he excelled. And no matter how skilled he was, he shouldn't have been an automatic 90 minutes even when he was riding the pine in England and Germany. It's good to see him playing in Germany because him being in form with his club will likely translate to sharper skills on the pitch. It will be interesting to see if he's asked to control the ball as much as before. I wonder if a new coach and style will help him think about pushing the ball forward more. I'm not sure if he has the ball skills and touch to replace Torres, but a more offensive style might make it possible for he and Edu to share the pitch without looking like they are playing the same position.
Klinsman said he is going to select only players who are playing well and regularly at the club level. There are a lot of players who meet those criteria, but all of them cannot be starters on the USMNT. It is possible that MB could be playing well 90 minutes every game at Chievo in the style his coach there plays, but that MB would not be a good fit for Klinsmann's style of soccer.
hence the "contend" and "potential" in otergod's reply.
Torres and MB are not in competition under Klinsmann, who is playing Torres at offensive CM up high and MB at DM, which is the position he is playing at Chievo. MB is going to face plenty of competition to win a spot. Not just against Edu and Beckerman and Larentowicz, but Jermaine Jones and Kljestan and young midfielders like Danny Williams and Fabian Johnson, Bedoya, Diskerud to name just few.
I would rather have a more skillful player like Torres, Holden or Feilhaber partner with Bradley/Edu. I don't want Bradley or Edu playing together because both play a similar game: good at breaking up plays but neither a very good passer.
The Second Gunman on the Grassy Knoll
I give a thumbs up to this response. For MB's D-mid position, this is a great league to learn in and a solid squad to be apart of. I think it's a smart move.
Exactly. Otergod, stop spoiling everyone's preconceived notions with objectivity and facts. It's really annoying.
Seriously? You find that funny? How old are you 7?
Malkin post pretty much says it. I was merely saying if he continues to excel at the club level he'll be given the chance to excel at the national team level. If he gets the start (like he'll likely do this camp), it's up to him to do well, but this camp is not "make or break" for starter status as the OP states.
I dont see MB playing the role Edu plays even with Torres in the lineup. Torres tends to sit 30 yards away from the goal and rarely crashes the box. Our past couple lineups had no CM options who would crash the box offering more opportunities for the crosses. This is why Jozy was so isolated and we produced few chances.
If MB starts, regardless of who he's "paired" with he will not be playing solely a dmid role like Edu was.
But i agree, as far as roles are concerned, MB and Torres are not competing for the same role.
Yes, he said that, but then proceeded to call in Rogers, Bunbury, Ream, Orozco, and other guys not at the top of their form so that's certainly not a rule, more of a guideline. Hmmm, not even a guideline, more of a consideration… a minor consideration.
Re: fit – It is more important that Klinsi develop a style that fits the talent pool rather than the other way around. We need to get our best players on the pitch. We are not a program that has interchangeable 4 player depth at every spot. It seems thus far that he may be trying to crowbar players in to fit a profile in his head. This is a little worrisome and let's hope it isn't the case.
Hey, I'd love to play flowing, beautiful football like Barca, but we don't have the players for it. People knock BB's teams as not having a style – that's not true. We had a style. We were hard to play against, shot blocking, ball pressuring, come from behind, counter attackers. Was it beautiful, no, but it worked pretty well. I'd love to play a more possessive style, but I'm not sure our best players fit into that mode. We shall see.
This is so annoying. Torres is not the player you and others make him out to be. He has a good touch, it is pleasing to the eye, yes, but Torres has not been very effective in the final 3rd, especially in a US shirt.
So your saying he is not fighting for a spot with an attackibg mid in Torres, but then you say he is fighting for spots with mix, sasha, and bedoya?
Neither was Reyna or Xabi Alonso. They're holding midfielders that give you possession.
I am not saying that Torres is better than MB. What I am saying is that Torres plus [insert your favorite DM here] has proven better to what we are looking for in style of play than placing Edu and MB together. With a different mindset on the team, MB will be more likely to take his flow into the offense. And when I say Torres, it doesn't have to be him specifically, but a player in that role. Obviously we all want Stu, but we'll never know when that is going to happen.
"It is more important that Klinsi develop a style that fits the talent pool rather than the other way around."
To an extent that is true, but every talent pool offers a coach flexibility, and probably a coach sees what he wants to see. If BB were coaching Barcelona, even with the same players, the team will have a style unique to BB that is different from Guardiola.
I think we have already seen glimpses under Klinsmann of what might be possible with the US talent pool, such as the last 25 minutes against Mexico and the first 30-35 minutes against Costa Rica. That was amazing to see a USMNT play such attack- and possession-oriented soccer, especially the possession style against Costa Rica. Yeah, only one goal in three games, but I think goals will start coming at some point. It will take longer than 2 months and 3 games.
And it could turn out that Klinsmann will decide he does not have the players to play his dream style and will have to lower his expectations. But he needs to give it his best shot. Skeptics should lighten up and, as many of us are doing, enjoy the ride. Like you say, we shall see what happens.
straight up
I've seen Bradley play several games for Chievo and he looks overweight to me. Hopefully he gets in shape soon and sheds a few of those extra pounds. With Holden out and Torres being a complete cone on defense (both positionally and in the tackle), we really need him to be a 90 minute player for the USMNT.

text: SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmacyclics, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: PCYC) today announced that The New England Journal of Medicine ( NEJM) published results online of a Phase 1b/2 study evaluating the investigational oral Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Ibrutinib was shown to be safe and effective in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL or SLL, even in patients who were at high-risk due to factors such as deletion of part of chromosome 17 (del 17p). Results of a separate study examining the safety and efficacy of ibrutinib monotherapy for the treatment of relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has also been published online in NEJM today. Pharmacyclics sponsored both studies and is jointly developing ibrutinib with Janssen Research & Development, LLC. The open-label study reported on 85 patients with relapsed/refractory CLL or SLL. The majority of patients had advanced disease and had previously undergone treatment with several rounds of therapies before enrollment in the study. Approximately one-third of patients enrolled in the study presented with a malignancy carrying del 17p. Patients with del17p typically respond poorly to chemoimmunotherapy, which is the current standard treatment for CLL. "Patients with CLL and SLL have a great need for new, well tolerated and effective therapies," said lead author John C. Byrd, M.D., Director, Division of Hematology, D Warren Brown Professor of Leukemia Research, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. "These data are particularly exciting, as they demonstrate benefit for high risk CLL and SLL patients, with efficacy consistent across doses and continuing durable remissions lasting in excess of two years in the great majority of patients treated." Study participants were enrolled selected to receive either ibrutinib 420 mg (n=51) or 840 mg (n=34) as a once-daily, oral monotherapy. Both doses were associated with overall response rates of 71 percent. Del17p patients had an overall response rate of 68 percent. Two patients in the 420 mg dose arm had complete responses and 34 patients had partial responses. Across all relapsed or refractory patients, including the high risk patients, the estimated progression-free survival at 26 months was 75 percent. An additional 20 percent of patients treated with the 420 mg dose and 15 percent of patients taking the 840 mg dose achieved a partial response accompanied by lymphocytosis, an elevated blood lymphocyte count.

Rain Helps New Corn; It's Too Late for Cattle
By WILLIAM ROBBINS, Special to The New York Times
Published: June 12, 1989
OSBORNE, Kan., June 7— The rain has finally come to the plains, watering fragile fields of tender young plants across most of the Corn Belt and bringing green grass back to dried-up pastures.
The wide swath of showers this spring has brought a surge of hope nearly everywhere. Indeed, many parts of the eastern Corn Belt are now worrying about too much rainfall. But the moisture came too late for many producers of cattle and wheat, and experts say that with much of the deep soil still dry, it is too early to declare the drought passed in the western Corn Belt.
''The drought isn't over,'' warned Duane Skow, the Agriculture Department's chief crop statistician in Iowa, where last summer's severe drought continued through a dry fall and winter. ''But it's sure been nice to have a week of decent weather,'' he added.
Douglas LeComte, chief of the agricultural weather section of a joint service of the Agriculture and Commerce departments, said: ''It seems like almost every place that has needed rain has got some of it. What we're seeing now is what we've been watching for a long time: wet in the East and still too dry in the West, but with some major relief.''
The rain has stopped this spring's steady price increases at grain markets, but so far it has failed to ease the Agriculture Department's projection for higher food prices for consumers. Last month the department raised its forecast of grocery price increases for this year to an average of 4 percent to 7 percent, from the 3 percent to 5 percent it had predicted earlier. Reduced Cattle Herds
A component in that forecast is the drought's effect on cattle producers, who have been reducing their herds because dry range land cannot support them. Lower cattle numbers ultimately translate to higher beef prices.
Roy Timbers is one of the cattleman who has been hit hard. When the rain finally came last week to this northern Kansas region, Mr. Timbers, like many others in seven cattle states, had already cut his herds of breeding cows. He had sold all 50 of the cows on his home ranch at nearby Glen Elder and 100 of the 250 on another ranch he owns with his son and another partner at Osborne.
When such cows are auctioned, some are bought by ranchers from other regions who need additional breeding stock. Many others are slaughtered.
The other day, Mr. Timbers stood looking out across the greening hills of the Osborne ranch toward dried-up stock ponds, a section where cattle would normally be grazing.
''That grass should be this high now,'' he said striking a finger just above his ankle. Instead, green sprigs no longer than a forefinger were poking through a matted carpet of dead grass.
''It's like selling off factories,'' Mr. Timbers said, referring to his breeding stock. ''They are hard to replace. And the cows you sell now aren't going to be producing calves for you next year.'' Shipped to Greener Pastures
His neighbor Terry Heller, looked down from a crest onto a shrunken pond where a few cows and calves clustered, the remainder of 400 cow-calf pairs that his ranch normally supports. With his pastures dying, Mr. Heller, like many other cattle producers this year, had shipped off 300 pairs on a costly trip to greener, and rented, pasture elsewhere in the state.
Now, Mr. Heller said, there is no assurance he will be able to bring those cattle home. Kansas's rainiest period, April through early June, is nearly over. ''I wouldn't want to bet on getting much more rain this summer,'' he said.
The drastic measures forced on Mr. Timbers and Mr. Heller are emblematic of a year that promises to be tense for cattle producers and for grain farmers. Terry Beall, a market research official with the National Cattlemen's Association, said ranchers had been gradually rebuilding their herds after several years of reductions.
From 1982 to 1988 the total national cattle herd dropped by 16 million head, to about 99 million from about 115 million. But by last January it was clear that many cattle producers were keeping more young heifers at home to rebuild their breeding stock rather than sending those heifers to market. By 1988, the number of cows in the national herd had shown an increase of 500,000.
But when last summer's drought was followed by the dry winter and spring in large parts of such major cattle states as Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico and Texas, ranchers began selling their their breeding cows.
Mr. Beall said this trend will push consumer prices for beef down this summer, with more cattle being slaughtered. But as supplies tighten later, prices will probably rise, he said. Kansas Is Hit Hardest
The hardest hit of the cattle ranchers are those in Kansas, where grain producers have also suffered most. Growers here are expected to produce their smallest crop of winter wheat in 11 years, according to the latest projection by the Agriculture Department, issued about a month ago.
That projection is unlikely to change much Monday, when the department issues its next report, industry experts say. The recent rains, they say, came too late to make much difference in Kansas and most other states that produce winter wheat.
Winter wheat is planted in the fall, lies dormant in winter and matures in the spring. It accounts for about three-quarters of the national wheat crop.
Meanwhile, across much of the Corn Belt, tender shoots of young corn have responded to the recent rains. In Illinois, one of the two leading corn states, farmers are experiencing some of the country's best growing conditions.
In other states, though, an undercurrent of tension persists. In some places, the rain has been too much too soon, leaving fields so sodden they cannot be planted. This is mainly true in the eastern corn states of Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, said Mr. LeComte. In other places the moisture is deceiving, nourishing the shallow-rooted early plants, but still insufficient at the deeper levels the crops will need later. Looks Can Be Deceiving
That is the case in Iowa, the other leading corn state. ''The crops really look good,'' said the state climatologist, Harry Hillaker. ''But it doesn't take much water for them at this stage. And beneath the surface dampness, almost the entire state is still in a long-term drought condition. We still have the potential for a lot of problems.''
Such a subsurface drought lurks underground in large parts of several other states in the western corn region.
In Iowa, 96 percent of the crop land is deficient in subsoil moisture. Mr. LeComte said similar subsurface conditions exist in 89 percent of Nebraska, which had its driest October-to-May period on record, and in 71 percent of Minnesota, 84 percent of Kansas, most of Colorado and 58 percent of Missouri.
Lawrence Gladbach, who farms at Mendon in northern Missouri, was looking at young corn flourishing in his fields recently. ''It looks good,'' he said, ''but if that corn gets any more moisture it's going to have to come from the sky. Down below the surface, that ground is like powder.''

The Flaming Embrace
I barely grasped my consciousness before I was picked up by this tall man, I didn't care to take note of who he was, what he was doing I just wanted to leave. When I was finally put down again I took a few moments to collect myself. I had no idea what to do, where I would go; where I was. I figured I should go home... home, I don't have a home. Then perhaps the gym, yes, I would go to the gym and find Jamie.
At least I still had the clothes on my back, my mind had slowly returned to me as well. I brushed the hair from my face, placing the dirty strands behind my ear. Something sticky clung to them and when I stared at my fingers I saw the blood, the deep red, sticky substance clung to my skin, my hair. I looked around, and when I found no body I instantly fled. It took me a while to re-gain my balance but I made it, slowly and silently leaving the building.
It had been raining and small pools of water adorned the path. I took this opportunity to glance at myself; blood had dried from a nosebleed. My eyes were worn; my hair was a mess and stuck together with blood. My head I figured was still bleeding. But I dismissed it; I had been in a worse shape. I asked around, asking for directions to the gym. Eventually, I did get an answer but more horrified stares or people advising me to go to the hospital.
I immediately and hastily walked toward the gym, taking the biggest steps I could. I would have begun to run but I was still slightly woozy and I would have thought that my grace and balance would have failed me. When I got into town the air was full of smoke, my head was already spinning and the toxic fumes just seemed to make it worse, but I was determined to wade through the smog that was enveloping the town.
The gym, when it came into view, was a horrific sight, the smoke and fire pluming into the sky. It created a bright orange streak, as if it was reaching up to the sun. I hung back for a while, admiring the beauty and destruction at once. I was always a fan of art; in fact when I was younger I was quite the dancer. But, for now I took a few steps forward, counting each one so as not to lose my balance again, then I saw the figures stood by it. They were trying desperately to rescue the building. I smiled, even though I found my own health fleeting, just as the building was deteriorating.
I was somewhat glad no ambulance's came. I did not want to go to the hospital; I would not accept defeat like that. You may find me silly for finding it a type of defeat but I thought that if I was to go and seek medical attention that would mean I was seriously injured. I was stubborn like that, but do not misunderstand; I do not have a death wish. I never did, the blood box was a mistake. A bet I should have never taken a dare I should have never followed through with.
Now I stood, gazing at the fire that embraced the building; igniting the darkening sky. The fire began to die as the wind raged on and rain began to fall from the sky. The building stood and the men seemed relieved, as was I. Not only because the gym stood, but because I was with him again... "Jamie." I smiled, my fleeting health made me sure that I could not move. Instead I stood still; my tone was soft as my voice began to waver. No, I had only just got here I could not leave again. I reached up my hand and touched the pain in my head, the sticky substance still oozed from the wound. The wound which I wasn't sure where it had come from, I looked at him, I stopped smiling but my eyes still continued as I looked at him. Why had I gone for him, why did my mind flicker straight to him when I thought of home?

Aunt Purjava's ReConnectMe MessageMature
Aunt Purjava's ReConnectMe Mesage
Upon my return,
To my usual routine,
Did I readjust.
On ReConnectMe,
I sent a message,
To Aunt Purjava,
Informing her of,
My safe arrival,
And thanking her,
For the lovely puris.
She replied,
That it was a pleasure,
To make puris for me,
And that they would all,
Cherish my visit as well.
Upon reading the reply,
A heartbroken rage,
At their society,
Filled my heart,
And I paced up and down.
I do not ask,
To always be with them,
I thought.
I do not ask,
For the impossible.
All I would like,
Is for their culture,
To stop lying,
About same sex love.
I recalled,
With what uncertainty,
I had accepted,
Aunt Purjava,
My brother in law,
And even,
Semanti's best friend's,
ReConnectMe friend requests,
And why,
Because I had on my profile,
Made it clear,
That I love women.
I knew,
That my British friends,
They knew,
Of my true sexuality,
So I felt no need,
To conceal it,
Not in England.
I had finally decided,
If anyone in India asked,
Why I had selected,
Interested in women,
On my ReConnectMe profile,
I would tell the truth,
For I had had enough,
But only if they asked,
But they never have.
I had noticed,
Much to my surprise,
That Dad had chosen,
Both men and women,
Under the interested in box,
Yet I knew Dad was straight,
So I can only assume,
Dad means dad wants friendship,
With individuals, regardless of gender.
Returning to the message,
I knelt down,
And extended my hands,
You need only give the word,
And glancing down at my body,
I thought once more,
My offer to transition,
So your society understands,
It will always be open,
Feel free to give the word any time,
That is how much,
I love you all.

"A Watcher, huh?" The water laps playfully at my ankles, as we sit at the edge of the dock. My hands brace against the wooden edge and my hair spills off one shoulder hiding my face from this strange man. I watch my feet under the warped water surface.
It's funny, how the human eye interprets thing's. If one actually takes the time, you can see things that you normally wouldn't. Still, it's hard to take in the situation I'm in now. Whatever this is, its too real to be a dream. I play with the possibility that this might actually be happening, that there really are Watchers and God really does exist. What does that mean for me? Does it mean I'm dead?
"Call me Akil," he says, his hand unexpectedly reaching out and brushing my hair behind my ear, so that he can see my face. I stiffen. The gesture was so intimate. I look up at him sharply and pull the hair from behind my ear.
"Why am I here?" I demand, looking into his unnerving eyes, "And where is 'here', anyway?"
Akil sighs, "You're in the spirit world, experts in your world call it a metaphysical world. As to why you're here, I can't answer, you need to learn that for yourself."
"The spirit world?" I ask, testing the taste of those words on my lips. They tasted like vinegar, "Does this mean I'm dead?"
He takes a little while to reply, cocking his head to one side, as if he were listening to someone whispering into his ear, "No, not yet. You're in no-mans-land so to speak. You're not dead, but you're also not alive. You're not in heaven, but your also not in hell, nor are you on earth either. It's like your up on a high wire, and right now you can fall either way, its just up to you to choose."
"Oh," I say, looking down at my feet again. I start kicking my feet back and forth, feeling the water rush between my toes and the sun warm the back of my neck. In a brighter voice, I say, "Well, I could really get used to this place." I smile at Akil.
He looks out above the water, a frown tugging at the corners of his mouth, "Carmen, do you know what being a Watcher entails?"
"Well, you protect me right?"
"That's part of it," he says slowly, "Most of it is just watching, hence the name. When you are born, you are assigned one Watcher for your entire life. When you're a child, its like you're given a grace period to figure out who you are in your life. Do you have faith or don't you? Watchers can protect you only as long as you believe. In the Spirit World, this doesn't apply."
I wait for him to continue but he doesn't and we sit in momentary silence, "What are you trying to tell me?"
"I'm trying to say that I can't protect you here. I'm trying to say that even if this is no-man's-land you're not safe from evil forces. I'm trying to tell you to be careful. God wanted you here for a reason, and whatever that reason is, finding it isn't going to be an easy task."
Suddenly a wind starts to blow and the water begins to roil beneath us. Thick black clouds choke the sky, casting the place into darkness so black I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face. Loud booming noises make a cacophony of sound, but lightening doesn't light up the sky.
My heart jumps into my throat, and my hands begin to shake. I panic, " Akil!" I scream, "Akil!"
Someone's hands close around my mouth and my screaming becomes muffled, as I try to thrash against them.
"Shh, its me," I've never been to happy to hear somebody's voice before, but I don't have enough time to relax before he is speaking again, "I can no longer be apart of your journey, I can no longer protect you. But follow your instincts and have hope."
Something slides into my hands, something long and narrow that has heft. I don't have time to identify it further because Akil is spinning me around in the darkness.
"Good luck, Carmen." His hands leave my skin and for a moment I don't know what to do. The wind rips past my ears, the booming gets louder, beneath me I can hear the water throwing itself against the dock, the wooden planks supporting it groan. Then I think of a safe place. A place sunny and peaceful, with a small lake and a large house with white shutters. Sanctuary.
I begin to run.

Rights activists convicted of trying to overthrow the state claimed yesterday that they were forced to sign confessions
As a civilian court in Bahrain began a full review of their trials carried out under martial law, a defence lawyer said that the activists had also faced abuse in custody
The group includes Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, who has been on hunger strike for three months and did not attend the session.
The appeals seek to overturn the sentences. But they are also challenging the credibility of a now-disbanded military-led court created as part of the crackdown against the nearly 15-month-old uprising against the monarchy.
Last month a court ordered a full re-examination – effectively a retrial – of the cases against Mr Khawaja and 20 other mostly Shia activists found guilty last year of plots to overthrow the kingdom's Western-allied Sunni dynasty.
Mr Khawaja and seven others were sentenced to life in prison and the others received lesser prison terms. Seven were sentenced in absentia.
