::: John Fraim
For those who have seen the film Lost in Translation—yes, it is about what many say it's about: two lonely people finding love for each other while visiting the great global city of Tokyo. All of the major reviews of the movie (and I have read most of them) mention the film's tender love story that, unlike most Hollywood love stories, doesn't end in bed. Many of the reviews note how Bill Murray has found the role of his career and how the film's creator and director, Sofia Coppola, has definitely arrived on the scene. Coppola observes in an interview on the film's website that Lost in Translation is "about moments in life that are great but don't last. They don't go on, but you always have the memory and they have an effect on you."
But for many people, Lost in Translation holds something beyond a love story or an exploration of the short serendipitous moments in life. Some mystery seems to be lurking beneath the glittering city, something enigmatic, like the Japanese people and their culture. The attempt at understanding these seeming subliminal messages (which Sofia Coppola might not really understand herself) has created a type of cottage industry and continuing conversation. Those interested might check out the film's website or surf to this fan site.
But in all of the reviews, discussions, and interviews about Lost in Translation, one aspect that few have commented on is the media ecology that serves as a backdrop for the film. It is this backdrop, more than the love story between two people, that may be the true subtle message of the film. In essence, Lost in Translation might really be a film about the media of life, about all the images and symbols of postmodern life that perpetually attack from all sides like frenzied hornets. In effect, this is a movie about the modern assault of multimedia on the senses and sensibilities.
The film is set in the city of Tokyo because of its pervasive and symbolic juxtaposition of images and symbols. Its nonlinear postmodern messages clash together like cars in a destruction derby. A huge neon sign above Tokyo's version of Times Square shows giant video images of African animals parading across its screen. Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" is butchered in a cocktail lounge overlooking the glittering city. A group of woman do aerobics in the hotel pool while others arrange plants and flowers. Bob Harris (Murray) hits a golf ball on a golf course in a scene that simply comes and goes with no explanation.
Yet Tokyo is no more than an accelerated example of all the crazy nonsensical juxtapositions of postmodern life. Whether watching the Superbowl, surfing five hundred cable channels, or going through our e-mail, these symbols and images are a ubiquitous "wallpaper" medium. And there is no escape.
One minute we are "safely" gathered with the family watching that annual national ritual of sports called the Superbowl. The next minute, the teams have left the field. A bunch of rebel kids crash the party like bulls in a china shop and take over the fifty yard line, and now this young white guy is ripping the blouse off a black woman. Once this is over, we endure ads for erectile dysfunction and beer until the football teams return to the field and the game goes on.
Our e-mail boxes hold messages from the wife reminding us to pick up the kids from school and from the boss sending some file for review. Intermixed with these are the constant and urgent e-mail pleadings to "enlarge this" or "prolong that" or "take a peek" at the other.
Importantly, Bob Harris and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) are victims of this environment just like the rest of us. We might expect that the young Charlotte would not have much control. After all, she's just out of college where she majored in that questioning discipline called philosophy. But Bill Murray's character is about three decades older and should, one would think, have more control of his life.
This is not the case. Bob Harris, once a famous movie star in Hollywood, is now little more than a spectator to the phantasmagoria of images and words he doesn't understand, and which continue to get "lost in translation." He is the "everyman" of modern life, the global citizen who is an actor but really more of Guy Debord's spectator from his Society of the Spectacle.
On a different media level, the film is also about the role of symbols in a global context and how images and symbols get lost in translation. For example, think how the Janet Jackson episode at the Superbowl might lose a little in translation when pulled off satellite TV in little towns in the deserts of the Middle East. Or consider that many millions around the world are still watching reruns of The Brady Bunch, Leave It to Beaver, and Mr. Ed and thinking what a strange place modern America is.
The same is true of Bob Harris, the washed up leading man from Hollywood who is still big in Tokyo. Like many other Hollywood symbols, the rest of the world often gets access to them only in reruns. This has most likely been the case with Murray's character in the film: while the American audience has moved on to younger upstarts like Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, the Japanese are still enamored with the adventure actor of old reruns.
Perhaps one of the real secrets behind the popularity of Lost in Translation is that it means something a little different for each viewer. Importantly, Sofia Coppola doesn't try to bludgeon the audience over the head with the story or some philosophy. Like her leading man Bill Murray, the director and camera seem equally perplexed by the onslaught of images and symbols that pass in front of them.
In much the same way as Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 classic Blow-up, the style and technique of Lost in Translation is one that doesn't so much explain as offer up images to be explained by the audience. In effect, the members of the audience become participants in creating the film.
While many people today feel little more than spectators observing the Superbowl of images and symbols that constantly blur by them, here is one brief moment in time when the spectator audience gets a chance to participate and interact with a series of images and symbols collectively known as Lost in Translation. Sofia Coppola says her film is about the rare moments in life that are great but don't last. She has created one of these moments with her film.

Date: Monday, 14 Sep 1998 19:17:54 -0400 (EDT)
Subject: Shakespeare in Love / Elizabeth
The New York Times, Sunday Sept. 14 notes two films to be released this
Fall that may be of interest to members of this list. One is about
Elizabeth I (in her early days as Queen). See
www.Elizabeth-themovie.com. A single page ad appears for the film in
the same issue. In December, Shakespeare in Love will be released.
Screenplay by Tom Stoppard. According to the NY Times critic,
Shakespeare faces writer's block and falls in love with Viola, who
disguises herself as a member of his troupe. R and J emerges from
Shakespeare's crush. Sounds similar to the novel _Shakespeare's

Something has really been bothering me, and there is really no other way to say it. Chevy Chase is, well, kind of a dick. See, growing up my family and I would watch Christmas Vacation every year. It is truly a classic and is our family's "Christmas movie" in a way, much like lesser families flock to Jingle All The Way or something. Anyway, I've always been a big SNL fan as well, and so I've always been a big follower of Chevy Chase and his career. Hell, I've even watched The Chevy Chase Show on youtube (yeah, cancellation was the right call there) which only lasted five weeks. And throughout it all, I've always heard rumblings about the man behind the scenes; that he was difficult to work with, arrogant, stand-offish, and just an all around dick sometimes. But I pushed it aside. I figured there were complexities of the entertainment industry I didn't know about, and that being a bit self-centered just came with the job. I can forgive it. The man still makes me laugh.
But it is time to be blunt. The man has had a few successes. Most based either upon SNL or National Lampoon. And most of his successes are 30 years old or more. He went from being a pretty handsome fellow that was in movies with other great actors to being a washed up old man that put on pounds for every hair he lost. He went on to have a string of failures, including his "talk show" that failed spectacularly, and then basically fell off the grid. The world moved on without him. But then he was offered a role in a new sitcom on NBC, which has basically employed him on and off for the past 40 some-odd years. He accepted his casting as Pierce Hawthorne on Community, and the show has resulted in great success. He has basically reinvented his career and made an entire generation of new fans come to love him. Older fans will always remember him for his older roles, but his legacy got a chance to live longer with this opportunity. He's done great at it, and the show has become a cult-classic. And you know what he did? Right when the show was being saved from cancellation, he started stirring up rumors that he would quit. What a dick.
Now, to be fair, it sounds like he and series creator Dan Harmon have had issues since the beginning. And Dan isn't a saint in this; apparently after Chase walked off the set during the Season 2 finale (in which he also left the study group in the show), Dan gave a scathing rebuke towards Chase in front of his wife and daughter. Not cool Dan. Chase responded by leaving a diatribe on Dan's voicemail, which can be heard here. To quote the voicemail, Chase says "I don't get talked to like that by anybody. Certainly not in front of my wife and daughter, you goddamn asshole alcoholic fat shit." Yeah, not a great situation to be sure. Furthermore, "Chase has been very open about how much he dislikes Pierce and the show in general. While he's praised his castmates and referred to them as his "family," a year ago he told the Huffington Post, "this is certainly not my kind of thing. I probably won't be around that much longer, frankly."
On a certain level I get it. If you have artistic integrity, you should stand up and say something when you think there is poor writing going on. And if the show's creator calls you out, you should stand up for yourself and your family. But if you are getting called out because you are talking crap about the show, the show's medium, and the writing staff, then maybe you deserved it in the first place. I think what irritates me the most is that it isn't some critically acclaimed actor we're talking about here. It is someone who has had a troubled career and more than a decade of nothing going on. He's had show's fail in 5 weeks and yet he's complaining about a show that he's starring in that is about to go into it's (hopefully, and quite likely) fourth season. And Community has reinvigorated his career. Sure, he might not need the money, but it certainly should be his focus, if he has that "integrity", to be remembered and praised rather than quietly forgotten. To his dedicated fans, and to be sure he has a very dedicated and vocal fanbase, quitting the show over something as trivial as an argument is frustrating. To quit the show because he says it sucks, to the fans, is downright insulting. And to quit the show when it's renewal is still in question is absolutely disrespectful to not only the fans but to the multitudes of people whose jobs rely on the show's continued success. So while I had always heard Chevy Chase was a dick, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Then he came along and removed all doubt. Damnit.

I tried more print mixing today by combining tweed and floral prints. Added some gold wedges and bright yellow clutch to enliven the whole look.. I thought the sun would come out.. but as the day unfolds dark clouds started coming into my direction and mid-way through the shoot it drizzled once again. Since it's now April, I can actually put 'april showers' on my title as opposed to March Showers on my previous posts.

Primary colors: primary only for us
Q: Why are red, green, and blue the primary colors?
A: What we call "primary colors" has nothing to do with the nature
of light. It depends rather on how we humans detect light.
"Color really refers to a sensation that a particular wavelength of light
[produces]," says Brian DeBroff, ophthalmology professor at the Yale School
of Medicine.
Human eyes have two types of cells for absorbing light: rods and cones. You
see little color at night. Consequently, the rods, used mostly for night vision,
detect primarily light and dark. The cones detect color and favor some colors
over others. They absorb blue, green, and red light best. That's why those colors
are called "primary."
We perceive white when the cones absorb light containing equal amounts of the
three primary colors. By adding together primary-color responses, our eyes see
almost any color.
How do we perceive light at all?
Special pigments in the rods and cones absorb light energy and change it into
chemical energy, which, in turn, stimulates an impulse within a nerve cell,
says John Meyer, entomologist at North Carolina State University.
Colors, however, aren't universal even among humans. Some languages don't have
separate words for two primary colors: green and blue, for example, even though
these people see both colors. All languages name black and white. Eskimos use
17 words for white as applied to different snows. If a language has a word for
another color, it most likely is red, the color of blood.
Different species have different primary colors. Birds are sensitive to red.
Bees are blind to red but can see ultraviolet-beyond our range of color perception.
Dogs can barely perceive any color.

I'm running a little late with this. I'm not far behind that the Limited Edition Codex has sold out though. The Chaos one went very quickly. I wonder if that's an indicator of a high price point, popularity or overprinting.
There have been three videos released accompanying the Advanced Order announcement and I'll slot them in where appropriate.GW have released bundle sets, but seeing as they're only for the advance order and offer no saving I'll leave them unmentioned.
Anyone wanting my opinion on the kits read on, anyone wanting to view them without my contribution then the order page awaits. Anyone not bothered, don't click the read more.
The video gives a preview of the character models, and in the second half, the Codex is shown.
Codex: Dark Angels Limited Edition - £55
It will no doubt be a very nice product.
"It contains black edging, a black bookmark, a cloth-finish underneath the dust-jacket on which "Never Forget" and "Never Forgive" is inscribed. The jacket itself contains the full artwork on the front, while on the back it has a matt-finish on which names of the Fallen are written - with certain names marked as captured..."Codex: Dark Angels - £30
Belial - £15
I'm not a fan of this model. The pose is too static, with no sense of purpose to the arms, and the legs too close together. The detailing doesn't make him stand out from the Deathwing Knights, the lack of detail on the back of the cloak is disappointing, and why is the chapter symbol on his belt out of line? I do like his sword tip though.
Asmodai - £11
It's still not a patch on the old artwork for him though.
Dark Angels Standard Bearer - £15
For the price, and the hassle of being direct order only, this model should be much better. The pose is the same as we've been seeing for years with standard bearers, with the chainsword held across the body doing little to alter that. The other arm is worse though, looking like a throwback to the 2nd ed Space Marines. The banner looks a disappointing compared to those we've seen in recent plastic sets.
Sammael - £30
A Finecast re release, I can't imagine the material is suited to such a big model. It still looks damned good though. Interestingly White Dwarf has him listed as "Sammael (Corvus)" which suggests there may be a second version along at some point.
That's the Codex and Characters dealt with, onto the Deathwing
Deathwing Command Squad/Deathwing Knights - £35
Grey Knights and Wolf Guard kits with the plethora of options they contain (having 153 and 100 pieces respectively) come in at that price point.
The kit contains 102 parts, and it looks like a great kit, both for a DA player, and for what it adds to the bitz box. The Command Squad load out gives some nice pieces, from the halberd, to the underslung Heavy Plasma Cannon, and the more subtle Apothecary parts. The jury is still out on the studded codpiece though. The detail of the standard is cast on, and looks a lot better than the Finecast Battle Standard model.
The Commander's pose is almost identical to the Dark Vengeance Chaos Lord, but I like the echoing.
I think the best inclusion in the set is the Watcher, as it's great to see one on the tabletop away from Azrael.
I can't wait to see what the community do with the kits. Even just mixing parts within the two halves of the set together promises some good results, let along when other kits enter the equation. I suspect they be more than a few Word Bearer players picking up a set of these.
And now, the Ravenwing, with the lion's share of the kits.
Dark Talon/Nephilim Jetfigher - £45
Pilot shenanigans aside, I really like the look of this kit, and it's the only Space Marine flyer that doesn't look like it'd drop right out of the air. I suspect we'll be seeing this kit rather a lot be it standing in for other Marine flyers, looted by Orks, or corrupted by Chaos. The wing details are part of the casting, as is a fair bit of Dark Angel and Ravenwing iconography, which is going to be a bit of work, but it'd be worth it. At the moment (i.e. just looking at the sprues and finished models) it's hard to tell if you could make one model do duty as both types of fighter with magnets, but as the community keep proving, anything is possible.
Land Speeder Vengeance/Ravenwing Darkshroud £40.
I can see the pulpit being used, as in and of itself it's a really cool feature, but not stuck on the front of this model.
Ravenwing Command Squad/Ravenwing Black Knights - £30
And there we have it. The strength of this release is definitely in the plastic kits. The Landspeeder variant is horrible, but apart from that it's an incredibly tough call between the sets. Personally it's the Ravenwing Command Squad that really does it for me, but I think top release of the month has to go to the Deathwing Command set, purely based on how useful the parts will be.


text: I noticed two odd little details recently. (1) Suit breast pocket with a flap. While perusing the latest issue of Los Angeles Magazine, I saw a picture of a fellow wearing a SB peaked lapel suit with a flap on his breast pocket. Merely eccentric or has this been done before? (2) Number of sleeve buttons on a suit. I saw an election photo (I think it was Kerry) which showed 5 buttons on his sleeve. Well within normal bounds or unusual?

Garuda Indonesia is reportedly reviewing the possibility of providing Internet connections to its passengers.
Quoted in Bisnis Bali, the Executive Vice-President for Business Development and Risk Management for the Airline, Judi Rifajantoro, described In-flight Connectivity as a most useful service for passengers, particularly on flights of more than 2-hours duration.
The current review being undertaken by Garuda is examining the cost of such a service, which classes of service should be able to access the Internet while in flight and on-line speed capabilities.
Judi added, "Our hope is that such a service (Internet In-flight Connectivity) will benefit passengers by allowing them to continue their work will in flight."
Judi said the proposed Wi-Fi connection would be available only while the flight is in a stabile flight condition.
Garuda plans to provide Internet In-flight Connectivity is being explored in conjunction with PT Telkom Indonesia.

aquiline nose, face long and aristocratic, voice deep and vibrant.
She had an eagle eye, an aquiline nose, an eagle flounce, and an eagle heart.
There was something so unyielding in the keen, aquiline nose and pointed chin.
He had a broad forehead, an aquiline nose, a well formed chin, and a complexion bronzed by exposure to the Indian sun.
It was not an aquiline nose, nor was it an aquiline nose reversed.
Above a square chin were full lips and a thin, aquiline nose.
His nose was aquiline and well cut, but the suggestion of his nationality was elusive.
His face was small and aquiline; not the face of a clever man, but clearly the face of an aristocrat.
His nose was aquiline, his eyes piercing and his eyebrows heavy.
It is made of heavy brass, and curiously enough represents Buddha with an aquiline nose.
"curved like an eagle's beak," 1640s, originally in English in reference to long, hooked noses, from Latin aquilinus "of or like an eagle," from aquila "eagle," of uncertain origin, usually explained as "the dark bird;" cf. aquilus "blackish, of the color of darkness."

Recruitment, training and Turnover: Another Call Centre Paradox
Townsend, Keith J. (2007) Recruitment, training and Turnover: Another Call Centre Paradox. Personnel Review, 36(3), pp. 476-490.
Purpose – There appear to be many paradoxes within the management of the growing call centre sector. The purpose of this paper is to consider one of these paradoxes, the extensive recruitment and training regimes in workplaces that are faced with very high levels of turnover. Design/methodology/approach – This research is of a single worksite, a call centre of a public utilities company. The research method was non-participant observation over a seven-month period coupled with ten interviews with key personnel. Findings – It was found that the organisation was able to offset the costs of training and recruitment through internal transfers within the larger organisation. Research limitations/implications – It is a single site study, hence, while of substantial depth the findings are not generalisable. More broad based research is required in the area. Practical implications – A useful source of information for practitioners in call centres, as well as researchers in the area of recruitment, training and call centres. Originality/value – This paper provides a valuable insight into an area of call centres that has not been adequately investigated; that of recruitment and training employees for emotional labour.

Target and Nespresso are teaming up to increase distribution of the single serve espresso machines. Recently, the machines started showing up online and in select stores.
It appears that they are selling the Nespresso U machine online and in stores, while they offer others online. Target is offering the "Plus Milk" versions too with sidecars of the Nespresso Aeroccino to appeal to those whole want a latte experience. Others include:
Prices are the same as the Nespresso Club online store, and there is no word on capsule availability in-store. the Essenza is only $99 right now, and an additional $30 for the "Plus Milk" version - a bargain considering the Aeroccino 3 as a stand alone item is $99 at Nespresso Club right now.
What's this mean for the upscale purveyor of espresso machines? Euro chic or white trash? The $99 entry point will probably dissuade casual users. Not sure if Americans will jump at espresso only configurations or jump to the "Plus Milk" versions with the Aeroccino.
Sadly for CBTL, this must be the epilogue to their launch and miss in Target about a year and a half ago. They have since disappeared from shelves at our local Target stores, and appear to be available online only.

Nottinghamshire bowler Stuart Broad has today been ruled out of the remainder of the ICC Cricket World Cup due to a side strain injury suffered during England's six-run win over South Africa on Sunday.
Broad suffered the injury while bowling during England's second innings and subsequent tests have confirmed the 24-year-old has a side strain that will require him to return to the UK for treatment.
His haul of 4-15 earned a dramatic victory for England over South Africa on Sunday but they must now prepare for Friday's group match against Bangladesh without Broad and Kevin Pietersen.
Broad will depart the England squad base in Chittagong tomorrow for further assessment in the UK that will determine his recovery and rehabilitation timescale.
Broad's recovery will be monitored before any decision is taken regarding his scheduled participation in the Indian Premier League.
"Stuart felt some discomfort following the South Africa match and our initial assessment indicated a strain to his left side," said ECB Chief Medical Officer, Dr Nick Peirce.
"Subsequent scans have confirmed a significant side strain injury - where the muscle attaches the rib - that will rule him out of the remainder of the World Cup. This is a new injury, separate from the abdominal tear suffered during the Ashes, that requires a period of recuperation and rehabilitation and the duration of this recovery period will be determined following further assessment in the UK."
The England selectors will decide on a player replacement in due course before submitting an application to the ICC Event Technical Committee with Chris Tremlett in the box seat.

The barista in question is Buzz Fendall, a man on a mission to 'bring amazing coffee to Dublin'. And it is a mission that is accomplished on a daily basis at this busy, friendly café on Aungier Street. The making and serving of coffee here (which is done either by Buzz Fendall himself or by one of his personally trained protégés) is approached with a kind of gleefully pedantic zeal, and the results are sublime. Beans are sourced directly from individual farmers in carefully selected locations from around the globe (currently in Brazil, Sumatra and Ethiopia) and are freshly ground on site. Of course, there's more to the place than just coffee - snacks and more substantial dishes are on offer on the slickly appointed mezzanine dining area or on the diminutive terrace - but there's no denying the fact that the roaring takeaway trade and the permanently full house boils down to one thing and one thing only: the Bald Barista serves the best in Dublin.
Area Temple Bar
Transport All cross-city buses/Luas St Stephen's Green
Telephone 475 8616
Open 6.30am-6pm daily.
Snacks €2.50-€9.50.
Not sure about food or sitting in there but when I'm in town and I want a coffee I go here. Honestly haven't found a better place (for just an Americano/black coffee) and I have tried a lot. Sad to see 1 star review of a small independent place in Dublin.
I got on bus for 30 min. and walked another 10 to get to this place based on TimeOuts "critics choise" and budget sign. Expectations where high corse i have seen so wonderful cafés in Dublin. WELL, I dont understand at all this was recommended. Small, not cozy, really average and some of the cakes direct from ikea or lidl like the Dajm (Dime) kake. Took todays soup and that was a bad potato and leek soup. Never this place again.
Average coffee. Student hostel atmosphere. Yes they do flat whites but in four sizes. The milk was watery rather than smooth and creamy. A flat white comes in one size and so not too milky. Otherwise get a latte.

Jason Aldean Biography
Jason Aldine, 28 February 1977, Macon, Georgia, USA. This country singer-songwriter was only in his early teens when he began performing at local talent shows, and after forming a band he graduated to the bar circuit. After leaving high school he adopted his new stage name and began working the eastern seaboard with his band. In 1998 he signed a songwriting contract with Warner-Chappell and moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Two major label recording contracts came and went without Aldean actually entering a studio but, just when it seemed his musical dreams were to remain unfulfilled, he was approached by the up-and-coming label Broken Bow Records. He signed a new recording contract and immediately began work on his debut album. The single Hicktown, co-written with John Rich (of Big And Rich) and Vicky McGehee, reached the country Top 10 in late 2005. The follow-up singles Why and Amarillo Sky were also major hits, reaching number 1 and number 4 in the country charts respectively. Aldeans self-titled debut enjoyed positive reviews and by the middle of the following year had notched up platinum status. The follow-up Relentless was also a commercial success in summer 2007. It was long overdue reward for this unassuming but talented new country artist.

Rick Ross has re-emerged on Twitter after what appears to be an attempt to murder the hip-hop star in Florida earlier this week, but the heavyset rapper did not directly address his brush with death early Monday morning.
Rick Ross had been mostly silent on the microblogging service save for a re-tweet yesterday, but the rapper was back today, sending two tweets about upcoming releases — and pointedly ignoring the static from fellow rapper 50 Cent, who has been mercilessly mocking Ross since the shooting. (As you may recall, 50 Cent himself is a survivor of multiple gunshots, so we imagine shots that don't even hit the car, much less Ross himself, seem far less scary.)
As Ross returns to social media, All Hip-Hop reports that police have spoken a bit more, albeit cryptically, about the shooting in Fort Lauderdale. The site explains that Ross himself may have fired some of the shots during the incident Monday:
"There is no official word on whether Ross fired a weapon before crashing his vehicle into an apartment building but police do say he played a major part in surviving … The police claim the altercation between Ross and an as-of-yet unknown vehicle occurred over a span of two to three blocks on Las Olas Boulevard."
Vaguely, Fort Lauderdale Police Lieutenant Frank Sousa confirmed of Rick Ross' behavior and situation during the gunfire and crash:
"It's accurate to say he dodged multiple rounds."
Does that mean that 50 Cent's claims Rick Ross faked the shooting are off-base? Does it mean police are still unsure as to what prompted it and what, if any, role Ross had in the shooting? No one has thus far explained Sousa's comment further.
Fellow rapper Pusha T told MTV that the Rick Ross shooting makes sense, as wealth is not an instant free pass out of a difficult youth. He says:
"It's tough out here as an artist and being in rap it's like this is the only profession where you don't really leave your core … You don't really leave your upbringing. You don't really leave that behind; you stay in it lyrically and so on and so forth. So it's like you can't really get out of it, you can't really get away from it. I don't care how much money you have."
Below, Rick Ross' two post-shooting tweets:

[MLS] FC Dallas fell to Tigres of Mexico, 2-1, in the first leg of the third annual Rio Grande Plate on Wednesday night at the Estadio Universitario in Monterrey.
Brazilian forward Ricardinho scored the lone FCD goal early in the second half on a long-range shot. The return leg of the series will
be played at Pizza Hut Park later this year.
FCD used two completely different lineups in each half. To start, Ray Burse was in goal behind a
three-man backline of Drew Moor, Duilio Davino and Alex Yi. The five
midfielders were teenager Abdus Ibrahim on the right, Dax McCarty and Brazilian newcomer Andre Rocha in the center, Blake Wagner on the left, with Juan Toja playing behind forwards Arturo Alvarez and Kenny Cooper.
Tigres started only two players from the team that started Saturday in its 0-0
tie with Guadalajara.

A group of Shetland ponies have inspired a Germany tour company to set up knitting tours of the Northern Isles.
The Scotsman reports that after watching VisitScotland promotions featuring the animals wearing Fair Isle jumpers, Catharina Ehlers, owner of the tour company Nordica Reisen, was encouraged to offer trips to the region.
Launching next autumn, the Shetland tours will take ten days and include visits to wool traders, traditional weavers, fashion designers and current factories and textile-producing centres.
Visitors will also get the chance to visit museums housing some of the oldest surviving knitware equipment, as well as getting a chance to join in with knitting workshops and stay in remote Fair Isle, where they can hear first-hand about the production of the famous jumpers.
Ms Ehlers explained that when they set up the company last year they had chosen to specialise in tours of Iceland, Ireland, Scotland and the Faroe Islands.
She said: "We already do self-drive trips around Scotland and have developed tailor-made itineraries for people who have an interest in hiking or folk music, for example. However, we have been keen to run more themed tours and guided tours.
"I saw the VisitScotland promotion with the little ponies earlier this year and thought it would be a unique and interesting place to run a tour to. Also, many of our clients are looking for something a bit special when they go on holiday, not the usual touristy things."
She noticed the growing popularity of knitting both in Germany and the rest of the world too and came to the conclusion that these trips could soon become a real hit.
The tours will be deliberately starting in October, just after the Shetland Wool Week, meaning craft fans can go there before the beginning of the trip.
Commenting on the trip, Andy Ross, creative director of the Centre for Creative Industries for Shetland said: "It's absolutely fantastic to hear about this new tour from Germany, which will hopefully be great business for both countries. It is a huge opportunity for Shetland."

Wall Street Journal Picks Mahoney As Person To Watch In 2014
Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney is a person to watch in 2014 - according to the Wall Street Journal.
The financial daily says Mahoney "is an influential confidante of Governor Andrew Cuomo and is seen as a potential lieutenant governor candidate." It's not the first time the county executive has been hinted as a possible lieutenant governor pick. An Albany publication mentioned Mahoney as a possible candidate in October. She said it was pure rumor. Mahoney is a Republican who crossed party lines to support Cuomo, and was named to the governor's Moreland Commission on corruption.

Do you want to get involved with Share the Care? Here's how it's done.
Share the Care matches volunteer dentists with children needing urgent dental care. Participating dentists say that the "Share the Care" program is working well; over 875 children from low-income families have been treated. Families have been very appreciative and a high percentage (94%) of appointments have been kept. School nurses tell about the children returning to school after dental appointments and smiling for the first time in months.
There are currently 271 dentists in "Share the Care" but we still have to turn some children away. Additional general and specialized dentists are needed all over the county. We invite you to join your colleagues in this successful and important endeavor. As one dentist commented, "If every dentist in San Diego County saw one child, there would be many more smiling children."
As a participant,
you can specify what age group of children you are willing to see, as
well as how many children you are willing to serve in a month.

Or left our church, in spite of solemn 'cAves,' To score off sins by rosaries and Aves!
But if we get on his trail and it looks like Aves Im for it.
It is of ivory; there are ten knobs or bosses for the Aves, and an eleventh of larger size and different form, for the Pater.
"They do say 'Aves' in plenty, for all the good they do us," grumbled one.
He sank on his knees on the clay, and said over breathlessly all the Aves he could think of in his awe.
He must say three paters and three Aves off; if he cannot, some one must say them for him.
In the lower Vertebrata it is directed forwards, but in Mammalia, and to some extent in Aves, it is directed backwards.
But I said my Aves and paters to our Blessed Lady most dutifully.
It was ridiculous to sit astride a bough and say Paternosters and Aves.
I will say two Paters and two Aves for you in my prayers to-night.
"hail," also "farewell," early 13c. (in reference to the Ave Maria), from Latin ave, second person singular imperative of avere "to be or fare well."

Tool Deal Impact Muted for Home Depot, Lowe's
While the Stanley Works /Black & Decker combo could put some pressure on gross margins at Home Depot and Lowe's long term, near-term impact is likely muted, given retailers' size and market positions, Barclays Capital says. Product portfolios are mostly complementary, and less than 3% of each company's cost-of-goods sold are represented by sales from SWK/BDK. Firm estimates a 2c EPS impact in FY10 for each retailer if inventory acquisition costs rise 5% without a change in selling prices, though it says HD and LOW might actually benefit from streamlined purchasing and more effective distribution.

Reluctant Revolutionary, The
dinsdag 26 maart 2013 - 21:15
Q&A met regisseur Sean McAllister. Moderator is Floor Beuming, Coördinator Midden-Oosten en Noord-Afrika bij Amnesty International.
Sean McAllister - "One of the most brave and powerful filmmakers around" [Michael Moore, Traverse City Film Festival]
After leaving school at 16 Sean worked in and out of factories before finding a camera and filming his way into the National Film School. He graduated in 1996. Since 1996 Sean McAllister has made films for both the BBC and Channel 4; working in the UK, Israel, Iraq, Japan, and most recently Syria, and The Yemen. In 2005 his film 'The Liberace Of Baghdad' (about Iraqi pianist Samir Peter) won the Special Jury Prize (World Documentary) at the Sundance Film Festival.
Sean's films portray, with characteristic intimacy and frankness, people from different parts of the world who are struggling to survive but are survivors, caught up in political and personal conflict, trying to make sense of the world we live in.
From his early films Working For The Enemy (1997) and The Minders (1998), both nominated for a Royal Television Society Awards, to his more recent successes, Sundance Jury Prize-winning The Liberace Of Baghdad (2004), Japan: A Story Of Love And Hate (2008), and this year's (2012) film The Reluctant Revolutionary' Sean's work continues to inspire, to surprise and to fascinate audiences.
Sean is currently filming in Greece, and the Middle-East, and researching some subjects for possible films in the UK.
Floor Beuming is programme coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa at the Netherlands section of Amnesty International. She has lived in Yemen for many years. For her studies she researched the integration between North and South Yemen. For four years she worked for the National Democratic Institute in Yemen, with a special focus on women participation in political parties.

Half-Life 3: Valve Discusses Cancelled HL2 Spin-Off, Episode 4
Half-Life 3 rumours may have died down in recent weeks, but Steam forum members recently dug up info on a collaboration between French dev Arkane Studios (currently working on Dishonored) and Valve, which may have ended up being called 'Return to Ravenholm.'
Now Half-Life's lead writer, Marc Laidlaw, has spoken about the project, which began life – and was ultimately canned – in 2007.
"There was indeed a project called Return to Ravenholm," Laidlaw told Valve fansite Lambdagen.
"We are big fans of Arkane and wanted to come up with a project we could work on together. We threw ideas around, they built some cool stuff, but we eventually decided that it didn't make sense to pursue it at the time."
Valve felt that gamers had seen enough of Ravenholm in Half-Life 2. "As I recall, we felt like a lot of the staples of Ravenholm–headcrabs and zombies!–were pretty much played out, and the fact that it would have to take place sometime before the end of Episode 2 (so as not to advance beyond where Valve had pushed the story) was a creative constraint that would hamper the project…and Arkane," Laidlaw explained.
As for the possibility hinted by Gabe Newell back in 2006 of a Half-Life episode beyond the now legendary Episode 3?
"I'm pretty sure that Gabe was referring to Ravenholm. Makes no sense why there would be [an Episode 4]," Laidlaw confirmed.
That's that debunked then. If anything even remotely like new Half-Life news comes our way, you'll be the first to know. You can read more about Ravenholm in NowGamer's Top 50 Greatest Gaming Moments.

Docks are a great option but lately Apple hasn't been exactly generous enough to include docks with their products requiring you to purchase one yourself.
Enter the Dexim iPhone/iPod Dual Charging Station from Richard|Solo. Richard|Solo is the creation Richard Thalheimer, founder of The Sharper Image with the goal of providing customer service and satisfaction as the priority in an online store. Lately they have been concentrating on products for Apple devices, specifically the iPhone and iPod models.
This dual charger creates a solution of a need I wasn't aware I had being able to charge multiple devices in the same spot, at the same time. Before this product arrived in the mail for review I had my iPod and iPhone connected to different outlets in different rooms both lying on the carpet. They were moved to the floor after I finally got fed up retrieving my charging cables after they slid between the desk and the wall. I've had some interesting incidents with the dog playing with them, stepping on them, and tripping over cords.
Now both of them live in the charging station on my desk. The Dexim Dual Charging Station is pretty versatile. It has two slots for charging and is packed with a ton of various inserts. These inserts are precisely designed to fit your Apple iPhone or iPod (except the iPod Shuffle). Once you have located the inserts for your devices they simply snap into place on the charging station.
Overall the appearance of the dual charging station is great. The finish is glossy black with blue accents. The fit is great, everything is put together precisely and the inserts snap in snuggly and securely with no chance of falling off. One of my favorite features is the blue lighting. There is an On/Off button on the side of the charging station. Whether or not you have the unit set on "On" or "Off" the station will charge your devices if it is plugged in. The On/Off switch simply controls the blue lighting on the unit. With the switch set to "On" a great looking blue glow emanates from the LED trim on the unit.
The Dexim iPhone/iPod Dual Charing Station is nearly perfect but I do have a few issues. I consistently use my iPhone as an alarm to wake up in the morning. This worked fine with it lying on the floor since the speaker wasn't covered. Unfortunately when it is charging in this dock the sound is muted a bit, making it less effective to wake up to. What would make this charging station perfect is one of two things. The first option would be some small speakers in the unit. Even minimal speakers would increase the volume of the sound coming from the iPhone or iPod. A second option would be audio out. If I could plug in a 2.5 jack into the dock and run it to some speakers I would be completely content. The speakers/audio out wouldn't even need to work on both sides, just having one of the docking ports connected to some audio capability would be just fine.
Overall the Dexim iPhone/iPod Dual Charging Station is a great solution of charging two Apple iPhones or iPods or any combination of the two. If looks great, works great, and is put together solidly. If you're considering purchasing a dock for one of your devices but could actually use a dock for multiple devices be sure to consider the Dexim iPhone/iPod Dual Charging Station. I rate this product 4/5. If it only had some built in audio options the rating would be a solid 5/5.

New York State Senator John Bonacic (R-42) has introduced a measure seeking to authorize intrastate online poker. The new proposal isn't the first time online poker has been considered in Albany, after being considered in conjunction with a controversial casino-expansion effort that finally passed in 2013. Bonacic's new bill would define poker as a game of skill and would create as many as ten online poker licenses, and would open the door to player-pooling compacts with other states also offering regulated internet poker, including neighbor states New Jersey and Delaware. The original draft language of Bonacic's bill does include bad-actor language designed to block any online sites that serviced New York residents following the passage of the 2006 UIGEA.Submitted by ppnadmin on April 8, 2014 - 10:28am

A magic bullet against bladder infections!
Just as a silver bullet is deadly to vampires, these little, well, not so little cranberry bullets are to bladder infections, and once you get rid of one, taking these will prevent it them ever coming back. I am a believer! I would bet curing and preventing bladder infections isn't the only thing cranberry supplements are good for, but if they only took care of bladder infections, that would be enough!

For someone who has been plagued by IUT infections for years finding an easy to swallow cranberry capsule has been a life saver. I've incorprated it into my every day supplement routine and have not suffered an infection since I started 6 months ago. YEAH!!! Thanks IHerb for making it one third the cost that I was paying at the doctor's office. Jerilyn Stanka

Great product--take one capsule a day and it keeps burning & need for frequent urination at bay. However, if I feel the start of something, I'll take two capsules that day and the symptoms disappear!

love these, have been taking them for a month now and I really see the difference. I can sleep throughout the night without getting up to go to the bathroom. this used to drive me crazy as it would take a while to go back to sleep. I didn't have any severe UTI symptoms but I would feel an occasional tingling or burning sensation and some pressure. now it's all gone. I take 2 pills with some ginger tea and sqeezed lemon. also, I take sodium ascorbate (vit c) as it helps them work better. thank you iherb!
It sure is amazing!

Not sure if this is THE reason for my miraculous cure from IUT infections, but I haven't had any symptoms in two or three months and that's about how long I've been taking the pills. I usually have 2 pills in a day and that's all. It seems that I will buy it again!!
Great supplement!
Posted by Reviewer1900051 on Aug 03, 2011 | Verified Purchase
These are the best cranberry supplements I have taken so far. They seem to be very potent. In fact, I took down the dosage from 4 capsules a day to 2 capsules per day because I noticed my urinary tract would actually get irritated with such a high dose. At the lower dosage, I have had no issues with bladder irritations or infections, which plagued me before (4 UTIs and 1 kidney infection in less than a year!). These work really well and are very fair in price.
Great product
Posted by Reviewer3090877 on Jul 21, 2009 | Verified Purchase
Very effective in urinary infections. I take up to 12 caps/day

What a day! PMc Rehab wrapped up the work they were helping us with in the upstairs bathroom! (Hooray!)
These guys are princes...really.
Paul & Choco, part of the team
I am so blown away by their attention to detail, their craftmanship, their great advice. Paul McCreedy knows so much about old AND new houses. He is terrific artisan. And he is as picky as we are. :)
We never had to worry that the job would be done right when Paul and his team were on the case. He was able to handle the plumbing work and some of the more complicated carpentry for us too. Actually, they can handle a lot more complicated projects than ours. We were a smaller project for them.
Paul is also a problem-solver and has a knack for finding the perfect details or contractors to handle unusual requests. Need a special wrought iron balcony for a brownstone? He can get that. Unique piece of beveled glass that makes the medicine cabinet more "period" specific? He can get that. Advice on the colors most frequently used in bathrooms of the early 20th century? He can tell you. Copper trim for your restored porch? Check. Need a built-in recreated? Check. Elegant solution to an old house problem? No problem.
He's not a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" sort of guy. (I put that in there to make him laugh.) He takes his time to do it right.
Is there anything that this guy can't do? We don't think so.

"angle stroke".
Try a higher angle.
You also might want to think about getting a wing paddle.
Another thing you might want to do is some interval training.
It doesn't come over night. Just keep working at it.
Jack L
Just as bikes have different gearing so do kayaks,
via paddle shaft lengths, weights, blade sizes.
Cyclists can use too high a gear grinding their joints
and causing themselves pain in a similar manner to
paddlers using too large a blade face putting lots
of stress on their upper body.
Spinning can be done with a paddle as well, so perhaps
having a "spare" paddle on deck might help
to change the cadence a bit during an outing.
Start with a heavier paddle and as you fatigue
then switch to the lighter paddle.
A musician drummer buddy of mine will switch
to shorter sticks towards the end of a long gig
to shave a few grams off the repetitive motion.
Doing that helped my consistency. When paddling alone, I tend to sprint, rest, repeat. The GPS pacing helped me stay on task when training for a race.
Instead of your heals and this should put to work the large leg muscles that have already been pre-conditioned by all your bicycling and also pump needed blood back up to your heart to reduce fatigue.
Thanks Clyde. What may not be obvious in the video is that I'm using a very small wing blade - an "endurance wing" by ONNO. For full disclosure, I'm not sponsored by ONNO.
I received some excellent coaching from Hank McGregor; he is a strong advocate of adults using small blades, even those sized for children, for endurance events. This fits well with my experience using Greenland paddles.
What you lose in "raw power" you gain back, by permitting good technique mile after mile.
Greg Stamer
For I remember the old advice I read (probably SEA KAYAKER) years ago: "never underestimate the power of the narrow blade." Happy Easter everyone!
ps: And that's exactly what a teenage paddler did in switching from a Onno Small-mid wing to an Onno Small Endurance wing to finish a recent 20 mile open ocean race in just over 3 hours.

I guess you are right. I may add shell escaping, but now I'm not sure
what should be escaped. I have something like:
Exec("QUERY_STRING=\"words=".UrlEncode($text)."\" /usr/local/htdig/cgi-bin/htsearch ");
I wonder if just escaping the result or UrlEncode call would do. What do you think?
