Tifamade Cantine proves that good things come in small packages...and sandwiches
Big snack attack: Tifamade Cantine.
The sign at southbound I-25's exit to Speer Boulevard gives no hint that you're about to enter one of Denver's hottest dining neighborhoods. Instead, the hungry traveler sees that a Starbucks and Subway are just ahead. But LoHi is home to dozens of restaurants, both big and small. And the smallest of all may well be Tifamade Cantine, which opened last month in back of the Truffle Table. See also: Vote for Tifamade in Daily Candy's Start Small, Go Big entrepreneur contest
Since 2010, Tiffany Iung and her pink bike have traveled the world (well, two continents, she admits), delivering sandwiches and combining two of Iung's passions: feeding people and riding her bike. After a two-year stint in Paris, she moved her operation to Denver two summers ago.
But this summer Iung has parked the bike for a while, and has been selling sandwiches from a window in the 2800 block of Umatilla Street, behind the Truffle Table, whose kitchen she uses to create these goodies, putting farm-fresh ingredients on her homemade focaccia bread.
The Tifamade Cantine is open for lunch only, Tuesday through Saturday, and is hard to find (we're betting that no traveler coming off I-25 will ever locate it) but definitely worth the search.

Technical Abstract: There is increasing evidence that the initial positive increases in net plant production (NPP) following step increases in atmospheric CO2 levels are substantially reduced by soil nutrient limitations. This paper will use the Daycent ecosystem model to simulate the short and long term impacts of soil nutrient limitations on grassland and forest system responses to step increases in atmospheric CO2 levels. The Daycent model has been tested using observed data from grassland elevated CO2 experiments in Colorado, California, and Kansas and the Oak Ridge and Duke Forest sites. Model results mostly represent the observed ecosystem response to increasing atmospheric CO2 levels and suggest that the initial increase in NPP following a step increase in atmospheric CO2 levels will be greatly reduced by nutrient limitations after 5 to 10 years for the forest systems, while the elevated CO2 impacts for grasslands are sustained for up to 100 years. The positive impact of increasing atmospheric CO2 levels for grasslands are largest for the short grass steppe and minimal for the annual grassland system. Model results will contrast the short (1 to 5 year) and long term (10 to 20 year) responses of grasslands and forests to elevated CO2 levels and compare observed versus simulated ecosystem responses to experimental data from elevated CO2 and soil nutrient experiments.

After reading last week's article in the Rockford Squire, I thought it would be helpful to provide additional information on the City's Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and the proposal to extend the term of the DDA for an additional thirty (30) years. As reported in the Squire the original DDA was formed in 1984. At the time a DDA is created, a base SEV is established, which represents the assessed value of all properties within the district. At the time Rockford's DDA District was established, the total value was $2,679,400. The taxes generated from this value continue to go to the various taxing jurisdictions such as the County, Community College, Intermediate School District, Kent District Library and the City. Over time, as the value of the district increases, the new taxes generated above the base value are "captured" by the DDA and reinvested within the District, according to the Development Plan. Through this mechanism the taxes paid by the business/property owners within the District are reinvested in the form of capital projects to improve the overall business climate within the District. In my opinion, DDAs are one of the most effective economic development tools a small community has at its disposal. Overtime as the City and DDA continues to make public improvements within the District, private investment also accelerates. We have seen over the years the wonderful investment our business owners have made throughout the downtown area. This public/private partnership only serves to continue investment throughout the entire district. The chart below identifies the various taxing jurisdictions that are subject to capture within the DDA. Through this capture, the DDA collects approximately $192,000 for reinvestment within the District. Of the $192,000, shown in the chart, the City of Rockford is the largest capture of over $110,000. It is important to note that the City does not capture taxes from the Rockford Public Schools either for debt, operations or their special recreation millage. Of this capture, approximately $95,000 goes towards paying off the downtown streetscape bond issue, with another $25,000 going each year towards the Peppler Park Renovation project. The City and DDA are also splitting the cost of the Northland Pontiac purchase and renovation to the parking lots. The remaining money, about $60,000 per year is reinvested into the District in the form of banners, benches, parking lot and street repairs, park improvements, sound system expansions, etc.
The DDA is currently in the process of writing a new Development and Financing Plan for the next thirty (30) years. The Plan is very ambitious and will allow the City to continue the wonderful public offerings that we all enjoy throughout the DDA. Through the DDA, the City and business community has been able to provide a one of a kind downtown that is enjoyed by residents and visitors throughout the seasons. I hope this information is useful to the readers of the Rockford Squire and please feel free to contact me should you have any additional questions either via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or through my blog at our City's website at www.rockford.mi.us.

Installing Unimatch Water Feeder
Hi guys, how hard is it to install McDonnell and Miller Unimatch 110 volt WFU-120 water feeder? I have a Series 101-A McDonnell and Miller water feeder installed already, and want to replace it. Thanks
Whats wrong with the 101? They are all but bulletproof. Have you been flushing it occasionally?
Yes, you better beleive it. They are in fact bullet proof:laughing: . I have one now, and its working fine, but when my boiler lets out steam, and the boiler request for water, this thing quickly starts filling up the boiler. I figure the WF2 Unimatch has a timer delay, which would help from flooding. What do you think??
hmmmmm flooding that quickly doesnt make sense. First a question Not bustin ya. Are you sure the float in the 101 is NOT compromised? If it has pinholes and is filled with water it will flood. Just like the float in a carb. Second thing if you already dont have a valve in the line to the feeder than I would put one in, ball valve; This way if nothing else you can restrict the flow to the feeder thereby to the boiler and let the wet returns catch up.
LITTLE DETAILS TO CHECK, all the radiator vents, be sure they are working freely, if they are not then the wet returns will run very slowly which can flood cause the feeder fills it right and then the returns overfill it.
I trust you know there is a rebild kit for the 101's. Not hard to do, just some patience. Secret is REALLY CLEAN IT OUT The float can stick on its little pivot and that will flood also.
If your 101 has some years on it, might not hurt to do that just for squats and giggles. If you do MAKE VERY SURE THERE IS A NEW FLOAT IN THE KIT.
Okay, it hasn't flooded, and I won't allow it too. I have a shut off valve before the water feeder. What was happening, the boiler would shoot out the steam, when the water level got low, the low water cut off did it's job (request water). What I was seeing, was that the boiler wasn't waiting for the return to come back and would ask for water. I assume maybe the 1 in return wasn't big enough for the water to come back, and was told by a few folks including you s/b 1 1/4. I have been working with this system since last year. Bought the house in the middle of the summer, boiler wasn't turned on. I did renovations to the house and been going crazy with steam heat. But I am getting to know this system pretty good. I just thought, okay 1 1/4 water return is good now, lets see what happens. Its not that cold yet. I also notice when its gets cold, she ask for more water frequently. So thats where the Unimatch comes in, I figure I got 1 1/4 return, if I change the auto water feeder to a delay one. This will probably help, since this feeder has a delay on it, which this will give time for the water to return, and no water called for? What do you think, am I making any sense? Also, since you have steam heat, how often does your boiler request for water?? Once a day, once a week? This way I have an idea. Thanks alot for your time!
my boiler asks for water maybe once a month. Sounds to me that the returns are suspect. If there is a blockage in there that could do it. Snoop around make sure every single inch of the returns really are 1 1/4 and clear.
Another thought just hit me; OW you say u changed returns to 1 1/4, DID you change it right INTO the boiler or did you just change what you could easily see? Again NOT bustin ya here.
I will check my boiler in AM cause now that I am thunkin bout it; I have single pipe system which of course goes to each side of house therefore I have 2 1 1/4 wet returns HOWEVER they tie into 1 1/2 , and return into the bottom of boiler. I will verify and give you my plumbing layout, gees I did it ya would think I could remember it, damn senility. to keep the flow of any 2 similar pipes flowing at their right volume needs a LARGER pipe where they combine. Your sewer is 4" joined by 3" toilet joined by 2" or 1 1/2 drains. 4" is required to handle the accumulated flow
First of all, Thanks Skymaster its great talking with someone with a similar system. Yes, I did the water return 1 1/4 all the way into the boiler, no short cuts here!! It took me a good 5 hours, just trying to loosen these pipes off, especially behind the boiler, not enough room and I am 6 ft tall, lol. The header is 2 inc, from there it branches to the radiator in 1 inc pipe. My supply line runs from one side of the basement, to the other side, roughly 36ft. At the end of the supply, I have an elbow 2inc with a reducing bushing, 2 inc to 1 1/4. Then I have 1 1/4 all the way into the back of the boiler. The hartford loop is also 1 1/4, all of it. At what height do you have your sight glass at? I keep mine at 2/3 rds, if I do it half full, she will start squirting water out of the last radiator on the run. Man, once a month, I wish I can get there.. Like I said, purchashed the house last year in the summer, boiler wasn't fired up. I was told it wiorked, luckily the sellers are out of town!!!! The water return was 1 inc, running along the side wall of the basement, say 4 ft up from the floor. I changed it and brought it down to boiler water level, and slope it all the way down towards the boiler, hitting the floor and then the loop. Thanks

Palko's hail-mary touchdown pass to Dexter McCluster at the end of the first half was perfectly executed as the ball went from the clutches of Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher to the waiting arms of the Chiefs' smallest player.
That was all Palko needed to stave off Orton for another week. Injury aside, I'm not sold Palko is the answer long term, but he'll head to New York next week to face a playoff-hungry Jets team.
But this game was won because of the emergence of the Chiefs' pass rush led by rookie Justin Houston. As a group, the Chiefs had seven sacks on the afternoon. Bears quarterback Caleb Hanie was lost under the relentless pressure that made his day one that could force Chicago to pick up journeyman quarterback Donovan McNabb on Monday.
However, that's Chicago's problem. The injury to Orton could complicate things for KC's offense as they'll face four straight stout defenses. But Palko, for now, deserves a reprieve and so does his head coach.
It was a foregone conclusion by most of the media that if the Chiefs had lost on Sunday to the Bears, Haley would have been the second NFL head coach to get his walking papers. For now, that talk has been placed on hold.
Haley probably coached his best game as the Chiefs' head coach Sunday. Sure, he had the luck of the tipped pass that gave Kansas City just their second offensive touchdown in the last five games. It also helped that safety Jon McGraw had sticky fingers to nab the tipped pass when the Bears were driving for the equalizing touchdown.
And sometimes luck is a good thing. But on the flip side, Haley had his team prepared to play on Sunday, something that he'd not been able to do in many of KC's blowout losses.
But early on you could tell the way these offenses were being dominated that neither team was going to put up many points on the afternoon.
For Haley, who has taken much criticism, he at least gets a week to bask in the glory of staving off what some think is inevitable. But he said the Chiefs are in playoff mode the rest of the way. That means they can't afford to lose any more games this season. However, it appears the win might be too little too late considering the pace Oakland and Denver have set atop of the division.
If the Chiefs are going to have dreams of winning their second consecutive AFC West title they'll have to beat the Raiders in three weeks and the Broncos to end the season.
Despite some struggles with Palko at quarterback Sunday, his team put maximum effort on the field of battle in a place they've never had much success winning NFL games.
Haley deserves much praise for the distractions and he should also be thankful that defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel set forth the attack mode on the Bears offense. Late in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs defense was aggressive and all nails in doing what they had to do - secure the win.
It should be an interesting week for the Chiefs. They'll head to New York next week, and like their recent results in Chicago, they generally don't play well in the Big Apple.
But maybe thanks to a pair of tipped passes, their fortunes for the remainder of the 2011 season might still yield another surprise. Much like the one they had when they started the season 0-3.
How lucky were the Chiefs?

Bromine is a halogen chemical element that most have never heard of other than in the periodic table of elements. Although it is quite unfamiliar, it has quite a variety of recognizable uses. Bromine worldwide production has risen sixfold since the 1960s and its price has doubled from 2009 to 2011.
The following products all contain bromine:
- Flame retardants
- In the production of epoxy for circuit boards
- Gasoline additives
- Pesticides
- In the process of water purification
- In the drilling fluid and other chemicals used for oil and gas exploration
- Many pharmaceutical and medical purposes
The three major bromine producing areas are the United States, the Dead Sea and China, which account for roughly 96% of the world's total bromine production.
Bromine production per area:
The largest publicly listed bromine and chemical producing companies include:
|Name (Ticker)
|Market Cap
|Company Description
|ICL Israel Chemicals Ltd (OTCPK:ISCHY)
|Largest bromine producer in the world, produces 40% of the worldwide demand.
|Albermarle Corp. (NYSE:ALB)
|Second largest bromine producer with 24% of worldwide production.
|DOW Chemical Company (NYSE:DOW)
|Second largest chemical company in the world.
|Largest chemical company in the world.
|Chemtura (NYSE:CHMT)
|Large bromine and chemical producer.
|Gulf Resources Inc. (GFRE)
|Largest bromine producer in China. Its subsidiary Shouguang City Hao Yuan Chemical Industry Co. produces over 40% of the bromine production in the Shouguang City, the largest bromine producing city in China.
(as per Shouguang Bromide Profession Association)
As previously mentioned, the demand for bromine has risen drastically over the past years and this surge in demand is anticipated to continue in the coming years due to its variety of uses. A recent report suggests that the U.S bromine market is expected to reach 323.5 metric tons by the year 2015.
This increase in demand can be seen by both ICL's (.pdf) and Albermarle's increase in bromine prices which should consequently help push bromine producers' profits higher.
China is also experiencing a drastic increase in consumption which has lead to a drastic increase in bromine prices.
The following table depicts the rise in consumption, production and prices in China. The decrease in price in 2009 reflects the impact of the economic financial crisis, yet as we see, prices have risen from $1850/MT in 2009 to over $3400/MT in 2010. Currently, bromine prices have continued to rise and are hitting $4705.88/MT, or a cost and freight price of $3800.00/MT (as per a recent China Chemicals Market International press release).
How to Take Advantage of the Bromine Market?
By investing in companies such as Albermarle, ICL, Chemtura or Gulf Resources, investors can take advantage of the bromine market. Let's analyze the metrics of Albermarle, Chemtura, DOW Chemical, and Gulf Resources as potential investments since all of these companies are traded on the American Stock Exchange.
Financial Analysis: Gulf Resources a Strong Contender
Based on the above financial data, there appears to be a compelling opportunity to invest in Gulf Resources as an undervalued bromine and chemical company. The company is undervalued based on its P/E multiple, as well as its P/CF ratio which are both lower than almost every company.
Gulf Resources has no debt, and a high quick ratio representing that it has a strong balance sheet, the ability to easily meet short term liabilities, as well as no risk of defaulting or having to pay interest payments to any debt holders. Its high quick ratio can be mainly attributed to its high cash levels in relative comparison to ALB, CHMT and DOW. Gulf Resources' cash per share represents over 23.6% of its share price.
The second highest cash per share in proportion of price per share is DOW Chemical, with over 15.5%. Although the smallest company, Gulf Resources commands a strong lead for all margin ratios, and both ROA and ROE. Most of these higher returns could be attributed to its smaller size, and as seen above, the ability to grow revenue more easily than the other large companies mentioned. The higher margins may also be attributed to the lower labor costs, shipping costs, as well as other associated expenses that Gulf Resources saves on by being uniquely a local producer and provider in China.
Let's dig deeper into this mostly unknown Chinese bromine and chemical company that appears to be an ideal investment:
Potential Risks Associated to Gulf Resources:
- Its Chinese Small Cap status may hinder its performance and legitimacy with investors. This status has also been recently criticized and consistently hit with bear raids, short attacks and allegations. This may explain its recent underperformance in comparison to ALB, CHMT, DOW and the overall market. (click here to view a six month chart comparison).
- Gulf Resources is sensitive to the price risk of Bromine. Additionally, substitution risk of Bromine with a new less toxic element could force down price and demand.
- Chinese economical, political and legal risks.
- Seasonal and climate risk. Bromine production is often seasonal and certain conditions such as excessive rain or floods may hamper production.
Potential Benefits and Future Catalysts:
- The high entry barriers in the Bromine market provide safety for current producers. Gulf Resources has an even stronger position in the Chinese market as it holds one of only six licenses given out by the Chinese government to produce bromine and currently is a trusted market leader.
- Demand is not a constraint. China's demand for Bromine is higher than its current market supply, therefore, Gulf Resources saves on shipping cost, tariffs and foreign exchange costs by being able to supply solely to its home market. This evidently makes Gulf Resources immune to many international factors.
- It is a class one supplier to larger known companies such as China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and SINOPEC (NYSE:SHI).
- Gulf Resources has a consistent history of acquisitions which has helped it grow consistently and rapidly. It is continuously acquiring land from smaller unlicensed bromine producers to further expand production. A recent acquisition demonstrates the Chinese government's willingness to let Gulf Resources acquire 568 acres of land and sign a 30 year land lease from a state owned company. The recent acquisition will add $2.8M of revenue per year.
- Gulf Resources is trying to differentiate itself from many other Chinese stocks by hiring Deloitte for an internal control assessment. The results of this assessment should be released in the next month which should help boost Gulf Resources reputability.
- The recent surge in Bromine prices should help the company obtain even higher profit margins.
- The company has very strong financial health and growth.
- Gulf Resources is also diversified and creates synergies through its product lines, as it is not solely a bromine company. Its subsidiary Shouguang City Haoyuan Chemical Co. Ltd produces primarily bromine and crude salt. Its other subsidiary, Shouguang Yuxin Chemical Industry, focuses on manufacturing and selling chemicals. Gulf Resources has also been staying up to date with trends by having an environment-friendly chemical additive. It also recently begun the production of a waste water treatment chemical product line.
- Company earnings are to be announced in the next month. The analyst average estimates are $0.37 in comparison with last year's $0.21 of EPS. The year ahead earnings are expected to be EPS of $1.50 or more. If Gulf Resources was valued even only at a conservative P/E of 10 the stock would be trading at $15.00, which demonstrates a clear opportunity.
Concluding Remarks:
It appears that Gulf Resources represents a tremendous opportunity for investors in the chemical and bromine market. The stock is dramatically undervalued and has stunning fundamentals. It is also an ideal Warren Buffett pick as he always wanted to be successful investing in companies or sectors with high barriers of entry. Once the true fundamentals catch the eye of individual investors, Gulf Resources will provide a compelling return on investment for those in at the bottom floor.

In Praise Of Liam Neeson, Elizabeth Taylor, Orangey Etc - Poem by Sheena Blackhall
1.In Praise of Liam Neeson
Oh Liam Neeson, as tricky's an anaconda
As well-endowed as an ape-king from Rwanda
They should build a statue of you, a Rhodes Colossus
For boats to sail under, heading for Cork or Knossos
Oh Liam Neeson, you of the Irish blarney
Breaker of hearts from Shanghai to Killarney
Like Moses, you could part most women's seas
And bring an entire thé-atre to its knees
2.Elizabeth Taylor
As a piece of architecture,
Elizabeth Taylor was like a colossal house
The distance between her inner self and the door
Held labyrinths which lovers never escaped from
The garden of her body was kittenful,
Full of yowlings and scratching and hundreds of scarlet roses
Mirrors would be everywhere, de rigueur
The world would dropp by for tea and cookies
Neighbours would check in and out between rehab visits
3.The Come Back Kid
I was born devoid of come-back lines
Destitute of the slick quick-fire put-downers
Not for me the lightning repartee, shot from the lip
I smoulder in corners like a damp squib
Pick at my verbal scabs
At half past three in the morning
When even the death watch beetle's nodded off
I sit bolt upright, the answer comes, Eureka.
When the rug's pulled out from under me,
I go all Humpty Dumpty, egg on my face
Verbal sparring's not for the heavy footed
For his pure cheek, I once punched a boy on the nose.
The perfect come-back.
My answer blossomed crimson for a week
4. Orangey (1952-1963)
A Hollywood cat knicknamed Orangey
Was mean as Attila the Hun
The scourge of the great movie moguls
That thespian son-of-a-gun
His performance in 'Rhubarb' was gripping
It won him a Patsy award
When he co-starred with Audrey Hepburn
He acted her right off the board
He appeared in his own TV series
So orange and fluffy and sassy
He was moody as Marlon Brando
In his day he was famous as Lassie!

Mount Diablo State Park Is a Popular Place for Recreational Pursuits
Mount Diablo State Park boasts some of the best views in the San Francisco Bay area. "Our visitor center is really popular because it's at the top of Mount Diablo's 3'849-foot summit and has the best views around'" says Dan Stefanisko' supervising ranger at Mount Diablo State Park. "It also has a variety of displays' ranging from Native Americans to the animals you might see in the park." Those animals include deer' coyote' raccoons' lizards' snakes' birds and even hairy tarantulas. But never fear – though the spiders look menacing' they rarely bite. "Their bite is about as potent as a bee sting' but they look impressive'" Stefanisko says with a chuckle. "The tarantulas come out in early fall' and people like to see them." More than 800'000 visitors flock to Mount Diablo State Park annually to enjoy plants and wildlife' camping' hiking' mountain biking' riding horses and stargazing. A volunteer group' the Mount Diablo Astronomical Society' leads stargazing events once a month. "Mount Diablo State Park is kind of like an island where people can get away from development'" Stefanisko says. Mount Diablo' which is Spanish for "devil'" got its name in 1806' when Spanish soldiers pursuing a group of American Indians' were not able to capture them. The bewildered Spaniards thought the devil must have had a hand in the American Indians' escape so named the thicket "Monte del Diablo." Anglo settlers later attributed the name to the entire mountain. For trail maps and more information about the park' visit www.mdia.org.

The sequel to Darwyn Cooke's adaptations of The Hunter and The Score is finally here! Set to release some time in May, this high-point in the Parker series features the eponymous character as he sets out to rob an entire town in one night. Aided by eleven friends (thus making a "score" of them), the book builds slowly as the crooks work out the logistics, the hideout, and the weapons for the score. Given that it's a Parker book, things are bound to go wrong (or are they?). We here at Time Warp are huge fans of the Parker series (Wayne especially) and this gets our highest recommendation. We'll be ordering several copies, but we'd also recommend that you let us know if you'd like us to hold you a copy.
Check out this preview image to whet your appetite for more explosions, crime, and Parker!

Hey all!
As some of you many know, I host a free Paleo Q&A Google Hangout sometime in the middle of every month. This month it'll be on July 15th, 2013 at 6:30pm Mountain Time.
Who am I?
I'm a Certified Integrated Clinical Nutrition Therapist specializing in the Paleo diet, and I answer people's questions about Paleo for a living here at Paleo Plan :) Here's my complete bio for more info on me. And that's me below. I love answering your questions about Paleo!
If you'd like to be part of a Google Hangout, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What's a Google Hangout?
A Google Hangout is sort of like Skype in that we're all on video talking to each other as a group. You can be on the call without being on video. We use Google Hangouts and not Skype because it allows so many more people to be on the call. You just have to have a google account and install the plug-in to participate.
Here is what your screen will look like on a Google Hangout. (Photo courtesy of google.)
This is not meant to substitute for personal consultations with me, as there will be other people on the call and my time to answer your personal questions will be limited. But I think it's still a great opportunity for people to ask questions about the Paleo Plan meal plan itself, all of our products on Paleo Plan, as well as any questions you have about Paleo (is X food Paleo, how many carbs should I eat, will I lose weight, etc.). If you want specific help with a complicated health issue, please consider doing a month package or a 30-minute call with me, instead. More info on my coaching options can be found here.
Again, if you want to be included in the July 15th Google Hangout, just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with subject line "Google Hangout" and I'll invite you to join us at 7:30pm Mountain Time on June 17th. You need to download the Google Hangouts plug-in before our call in order to take part!
Note: After you download the Google Hangouts plug-in from this page, you may have to go into your "downloads" folder on your computer and click on the file called "GoogleVoiceAndVideoSetup (1).dmg" to get it to install on your computer.

text: So I called up two different dealers around me to order some parts to pick up locally. Both of them asked me for my VIN number and of course I'm at work in a different car and can't remember the VIN. Why do they need the number? Do they think I don't know what kind of car I'm driving? :mad2: I swear I never had to worry about that before when I ordered parts over the phone. Maybe a new policy :banghead:

Sparked by the searing, scything play of Landon Donovan, the expansion Earthquakes played down to the standard of a team in its first league match and were beaten, 2-0, on goals by Donovan and David Beckham. If not for the profligacy of Alan Gordon, the score could have been doubled, yet the Galaxy never let its utter dominance slip.
The San Jose back line, expected to be a strength, couldn't contain Donovan, but many teams much better than this one have suffered the same fate, along with helpless indecision at crosses and dead balls whipped and driven by David Beckham. He drilled home a Donovan through ball after defender Ryan Cochrane stumbled and lost possession 30 yards from goal in the ninth minute. Beckham returned the favor for the second goal in the 37th minute, clipping a ball into space that Donovan lobbed over a former teammate, twice removed, goalkeeper Joe Cannon.
Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit tweaked his formation and personnel somewhat from last weekend's shambolic 4-0 thrashing at Colorado, leaving Ely Allen at left mid, replacing left back Michael Gavin with Mike Randolph; inserting rookie Brandon McDonald into central midfield in place of Peter Vagenas; giving another rookie, Sean Franklin, his first start in central defense to replace the suspended Abel Xavier, and using Donovan and Alan Gordon more or less as twin forwards.
Ostensibly in a 4-4-2 formation, with Donovan and Beckham moving and floating as they saw fit with
Gordon as Donovan's forward partner, the Galaxy flummoxed San Jose with its movement, pace, and crisp interplay.
"I think what changed is our positional play," said Beckham. "In the first game, we was all over the place, from right to back to midfield to up front, we was all out of position. It's something we've worked on the last two or three days. Tactically, we've worked on a lot of things, from set pieces to the way we've been playing to our positional play, and it showed tonight. It showed that we worked on it, and it pays off when you take that into a game."
What also changed was attitude and commitment and workrate, which were the elements Coach Ruud Gullit most bemoaned by their absence in Colorado.
"If you play any kind of system," said Gullit, "if you play like we played last week, you're going to lose."
San Jose coach Frank Yallop used his preferred 4-4-2, with a central defensive pairing of Cochrane and Nick Garcia, and Ned Grabavoy and Ramiro Corrales in central midfield. The failure of this quartet to hold the ball and establish tempo threw the Quakes out of sync nearly every time they tried to launch an attack or stop one of the Galaxy's forays.
Rookie Sean Salinas made no impression up front, but replacement Gavin Glinton - one of four ex-Galaxy players signed by Yallop - couldn't mesh with Kei Kamara, either. A very unpolished game by Ronnie O'Brien on the right flank wasted the rare situations when San Jose got him the ball with space.
Cannon may have raced off his line too early to confront Donovan on the second Galaxy goal but poor decisions ran rampant through the Quakes, who after falling behind simply were a step slow and second-best all over the field despite expending the effort and sweat typical of the San Jose teams Yallop twice led to MLS titles during his first Northern California stint in 2001 and 2003.
"I [was] bummed out for Joe," said Donovan, "but stay on his line next time."
Before the match, Yallop emphasized that, the team's debut match, though significant, was just one game.
So it is too for the Galaxy, which after two games is 1-1, having been blown apart by a Rapids team far short of full strength before overrunning an
expansion team that may be competitive soon but isn't just yet.

Hey!! Don't worry!! she is capable enough to handle her babies!!
Member 1157872 answered on 3/4/13. Helpful? / 0
Yes she is. If she is pregnant, once she has her kittens weaned, I highly suggest that you get her spayed. If she's not pregnant, go ahead & get her spayed.
Twinkle answered on 3/4/13. Helpful? / 0
She is capable of handling a litter of kittens, however if she is a small cat and she tries to give birth to a large kitten, it may not go well. IMHO, I would take her to the vet to find out if she is indeed pregnant. If the vet says she is, I would have her aborted and spayed. I know my opinion is not a popular one and other Catsters may call me cruel and heartless, but there is an overwhelming overpopulation of homeless cats and kittens today. Shelters and rescues are full. There is no room and kittens given away "free" can wind up suffering a horrific life. Kittens cannot be weaned until at least 5 weeks of age and if your kitten is too young to know what to do, you will be VERY involved in the feeding, training and socialization of these babies. If you don't have her spayed after the litter is gone and she continues to get out or be let out, she will continue to produce more kittens. One pair of cats and their offspring can produce 10,000 more cats during their lifetime.

Is Exhibiting at a Trade Show Right for Your Business?Posted by: | Comments
Exhibiting your product or service at a trade show is a great way to network with industry experts and customers but can be very, very expensive. How do you know if it's right for your company? Glad you asked. You've come to the right place. I'm going to take a minute to address the pros and cons of having a booth at a trade show so you can weigh your options and see what works for your brand.
Face Time: A trade show is a great opportunity to meet distributers, manufacturers, industry experts, and customers. No matter how good your social marketing campaign may be, nothing beats meeting face to face in the real world. You could really amp things up by handing out specialized promotional products from QLP to booth attendees. The free swag may be enough to convert random passersby's into loyal customers.
Credibility and Visibility: Your presence at a trade show, even a small targeted show, demonstrates your credibility in your specific industry. Also, just being there makes you visible to people who would have never encountered your brand on their own.
Observe Trends and Competition: Attending a trade show is a great opportunity to see what trends are hot in your market. This is also a great time to take a look at your competition and see what they're doing right, what they're doing wrong, and how you can do better – or show off how much better you already are.
Demonstrate Your Product: The trade show is the perfect venue to demonstrate your product and show how it works and show why people need it. This also allows individuals to provide feedback about product and tell you what they like about, what they don't like about it, and how it can be improved.
Expense: The expenses of having a booth at a trade show, even a small one, can get out of hand very quickly. You have to consider the price of the space itself, installation, labor, cleaning, traveling, lodging, display costs, and numerous other factors. Also, there might not be an immediate ROI on the expenses. If you have a successful exhibition, it may be weeks or months before the people you impressed start to drive up sales for your brand. The presence at a trade show can make or break a small company, especially in this economy.
The Competition: Where as a trade show or expo gives you an opportunity to observe the competition, it does the same for them as well. If your competitor outshines you to the point where attendees remember them and not you, then everything you've done has been for nothing.
Stress: Just attending a trade show, expo, or convention can be stressful. There's a definite sensory overload, with flashy signs, loud music, and unruly crowds all vying for attention. Having a booth at a trade show is even worse. You have to worry about scheduling and making sure there's always someone present. You have to worry that the products you brought to demo do not malfunction or break down. There are also the customers and visitors. Anybody who tells you the customer is always right has obviously never worked in retail or the service industry.
Is having a booth at a trade show right for you? Only you can answer that. Hopefully this article has helped to get you a better idea of what to expect.
5 Easy Ways to Market Yourself OnlinePosted by: | Comments
Whether you are running a business, trying to build your reputation as a freelancer or trying to get the word out about a cause, there are 5 fairly easy ways to market yourself online.
1. Your Website
Traditional websites were fairly static, one-way conversations where the website's purpose was to inform/education, promote or sell to a specific audience. Today's consumers want more than that – they want to know who they are doing business with; they want to know the voice behind the product and they want to be able to have a conversation with that voice.
If you have a traditional website, add a blog component to it and open up the conversation between yourself and your potential customers (and existing ones, too). Not only does it give a voice to your brand, it allows you to educate your customers, build a relationship with them and market yourself.
WordPress the perfect platform for adding that blog component. It is open-source, free, and very easy to learn. You can add it on to any existing website or you can start from scratch and let your blog be the face of your online presence.
2. Your Email
This is a real easy one!! Use a signature block in your emails that you send out. Include your name, website address, tagline (if you have one) or one-liner highlighting your area of expertise, and any other contact information you want in front of your potential customers.
3. Get Social
There are social networks for everyone and everything! Facebook, Twitter, and Ning are just the tip of the iceberg. Social networks allow you to expand your own network and tap into the connections of others with similar interests. Be professional, consistent and genuine in all of your social networking endeavors and you never know what doors will open!
Discussion forums are another form of social networking. Find forums that are in your area of expertise or your potential customers area of interest and get involved. Ask questions and answer questions, be genuine and willing to give before you expect to receive anything!
4. Be Part of a Two Way Conversation
Develop a list of other sites that encourage two way conversation and get involved. Leave meaningful comments on posts that interest you. Always use your first name or recognized nickname when leaving a comment. Do not insult the site owner by leaving "keywords" in place of your name – I usually delete those comments here. Do leave the URL of your website in the URL field (when available) and use an email address that works in the event that the site owner would like to continue the conversation directly with you.
5. Be a Guest Author
Most blog owners I know will gladly post an article written by someone else along with a byline, if that article is well written and pertinent to the site. This is a great way for you to share your expertise with a different audience and expand your reach at the same time.
Your Turn…
This is by no means a complete list! What are some other ways you have used to market yourself online?

5 Lessons From the Toronto Film Festival
By Steve Pond
LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - After 11 days, nearly 300 films and more than 1,000 screenings, the Toronto International Film Festival ended on Sunday with what was for TIFF a slow day: only about 85 public screenings, and none of the special press and industry screenings that filled out the calendar for most of the festival's duration.
Since opening on September 6, TIFF has showcased "7 Boxes" and "Seven Psychopaths" … a maker ("The Maker") and some murderers ("The Act of Killing") … clouds ("Cloud Atlas") and silver linings (the audience-award-winning "Silver Linings Playbook").
TheWrap was there for much of the festival, watching and talking and learning a few things about the movies, the deals and the impact on this year's awards race. Here are five things we learned in Toronto:
1. The Oscar picture is still cloudy.
Before the fall festivals, there were lots of question marks among films considered potential awards movies. "Argo," "The Master," "Silver Linings Playbook," "Anna Karenina," "Hyde Park on Hudson," "Cloud Atlas" and many more had yet to be seen, and all the great awards expectations were based on little real evidence.
Now they've all been seen, and some things are clear. "Argo" and "Silver Linings Playbook" are strong mainstream movies with terrific awards chances; "The Master" is artier and more challenging, but it should have plenty of passionate supporters within the Academy.
But do any of them look like frontrunners? "Argo" and "Silver Linings" may have that mantle at the moment, but the former is a thriller and the latter a comedy, neither of them genres with particularly strong Oscar track records.
Meanwhile, some serious contenders skipped Toronto, Telluride and Venice, and are still waiting in the wings. Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" and Robert Zemeckis' "Flight" will be unveiled at the New York Film Festival, while Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables," Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit," Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," Gus Van Sant's "Promised Land" and Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" have yet to be released.
