CHRISTOPHER ANDERSON - Saturday, November 14, 2009
Slovakia vs United States
Friendly - Saturday November 14, 2009
Tehelne Pole
On a cold night in the Slovakian capital, the US struggled to find the back of the net as a first half Marek Hamsik penalty kick gave the hosts the win.
Eddie Johnson made a return to the field for the national team and Dax McCarty earned his first cap for the US as a 73rd minute substitute.
The Americans nearly stepped into the lead in the opening minutes off a Robbie Rogers corner on the right side. Conor Casey nodded forward to Carlos Bocanegra for the tap in, but Austrian referee Stefan Messner disallowed it after seeing his assistant's flag raised.
After some midfield play Steve Cherundolo centered to Casey but the Slovakian central defense snuffed it out before the Rapids front man could get his shot off.
It would be another few minutes before the USA pushed forward again, when a Rogers' delivery into the box from 25 yards out just missed the head of the advancing Casey, and was an easy claim for Slovakian keeper Jan Mucha.
In the seventh minute, a long ball down the right side found Cherundolo, who then found Casey in front of goal. The Colorado man hit the ground before he hit the ball while Mucha collected the non-effort.
After a period of stagnant play in which the US nonetheless dominated possession, the Slovaks seemed more as the visitors, preferring to sit back and try their luck on the counter from the outset.
In the 22nd minute the Americans knocked on the door as Clint Dempsey collected the ball 30 yards out with his back to goal, yet turned between a pair of Slovaks and pulled the trigger just missing the goal by inches as the ball cleared the near post.
With some home team possession, Robert Vittek flew down the right wing and played a one-two with Vladimir Weiss and was brought by Jonathan Bornstein and the Austrian referee pointed to the spot.
"They got the ball out wide and had a little combination play. The ball went through one of our players' legs, so I tried to recover from that play and it was kind of soft [contact,]" Bornstein told Yanks Abroad after the contest. "We were just hip to hip and he went down, so you know, the referee must have seen something."
Hamsik placed the ball down for the home team and hammered it past Brad Guzan to collect his eighth international goal in 28 games for the Slovaks, who will be entering their first World Cup next summer.
In the 34th minute Dempsey, who took over play-making duties in the absence of Landon Donovan, found Casey on the edge of the box and the ex-Mainz attacker got off his shot between a pair of defenders. However, the effort lacked any sting and Mucha collected comfortably.
The American's best chance came a few minutes later when Dempsey lined up a free kick top left of the box and fired a screamer past a group of defenders and forced Mucha into a finger-tip save, that sent the on-target shot just past the far post.
With the attack centered on driving down the right side, Bornstein found space on the left and delivered a fine cross for Benny Feilhaber in the box, whose header skipped wide of the net.
Entering the second half, Bob Bradley tried to add more speed up top, bringing in with Johnson for Casey.
The US controlled the tempo of the opening minutes of the second half and saw their first chance six minutes after Jozy Altidore found Johnson darting to the right of the goal box. The Fulham striker got a foot on the feed but found the wrong side of the net.
The Slovakians countered a minute later courtesy of Erik Jendrisek, who found space behind the defense but the side the net with his shot.
Soon after Dempsey produced a skillful whirlwind strike in the box but could not get a full foot on the ball. In the 64th, The Fulham man fired a free kick from 25 yards out that deflected off a foot and nearly caromed into the net. On the ensuing corner from Rogers, Dempsey and Mucha leaped for the ball, but the Slovak won the duel.
In spite of their ball control and play-making the US was unable to break through the stubborn Slovak defense.
"I knew it was going to be a tough game, but I was kind of surprised that once they got their goal how much they stayed back," Dempsey told YA after the game. "They stayed back and kept it compact and tried to catch us on the counter but I thought we did well with keeping most of possession and trying to create chances."
"I thought we created enough chances tonight that we should have had a goal. Sometimes it goes for us, sometimes it doesn't. I thought we did pretty well. It's hard to break down a team that just sits back."
With little action on both ends for much of the second half, Bradley experimented with the eleven to see if it would produce results. In the 73rd, Clarence Goodson was brought on for Bocanegra and McCarty came in for the overworked Dempsey.
A minute later, the US survived a scary moment when 61st minute sub Stanislav Sestak found himself just onside and fired away, but Guzan was able to get a foot on the would-be goal.
"I mean obviously in the first half we created some chances but it was difficult game for us, it was a tough game for 90 minutes, the Aston Villa keeper said."Overall we'll take the performance and we'll try to learn from our mistakes and apply it for Wednesday."
In addition to Johnson's reappearance on the national team after a yearlong absence, Jeff Cunningham resurfaced after a four year hiatus as a 82nd minute substitute for the invisible Jozy Altidore.
"That's a frustrating loss for us. We at least deserved a draw tonight," Jonathan Spector remarked. "Who knows if it was a penalty or not. I'm saying that we created some good combinations in the first half and created come good opportunities."
The Americans fly off to Denmark on Sunday to warm up for their Wednesday night encounter in Aarhus against the Danes.

Have to agree with everyone else on here. Bornstein is showing time and again he's a liability. It seems like every team we have faced exploit him. Castillo can't come soon enough. Give Bornstein to Honduras.

Here's an idea Bob. Your in Denmark on wedns. and check this out one of our better talents just happens to play on a top team in the danish super liga... his name is Marcus Tracy... I know you have a tough time keeping track of our boys that don't play in the MLS, but he's a stud and scores regularly in a top league.
Now I know it could be difficult to find him in the same country you'll be in a couple of days but try sending one of your assistants to find him and suit him up cause he'll be twice as good as any forward you played yesterday!
Sunday November 15, 2009 2:40 am
C'mon Yankee Jim. Bornstein is definitely not the worst US player in the last 8 years because that easily goes to Brian Ching. Regardless, Castillo hasn't been recently called in bc he just officially switched allegiances. Then his club team played Torres' in some kind of weird Mexican playoff game I think. Anyway, we will see both of those players in the Jan. camp for sure the Denmark game may be too late for either of them, esp. Castillo to get time w/ his teammates. The only real reason we are complaining about a loss instead of celebrating a win is bc LD wasn't there. We most likely would have put 2 or 3 away had he been pulling the strings. I wouldn't mind seeing the same forward rotation vs. Denmark, but this time w/ Donovan AND Demps pulling the creative strings.
Sunday November 15, 2009 1:44 am
People have to stop complaining about player selection. We were already resorted to bringing in Dax McCarty. Torres and Castillo had games today. There club comes first especially when they are trying to make the play offs. And then we have the same with MLS players. This was a fairly solid line up choice. As far as Cooper, he isn't doing anything with 1899 to warrant that much more of a look than say someone like EJ who has impressed at Fulham and played pretty well today.
But the main point is if you want Torres, Castillo, and Holden than you don't understand International soccer, you have to keep club coaches happy.
Sunday November 15, 2009 1:29 am
ok, this is my 1st time comment ever on any blogs!! BB is a total moron. Why not play spector as LB rather than CB. Bornstein is just terrible except for that goal vs CR. He s useless at anything on the pitch. Casey??? Is just so lazy. No hustle at all. Should be only a sub if any. Why not start cunningham or put CD up top where he belongs anyway. EJ just completely sux too Cooper shouldve been there. Dax mcarthy?? We don't need to waste time to see what he can do, we re totally covered in the CM. It was a total disgrace how we played today and we will never advance to any round if BB thinks like that. Everygame is very important since we qualified and he should treat it like that. What a joke!!! Total disappointment!!! Boca dolo mb spector and somewhat dempsey all did good today. Rogers so so too.
Saturday November 14, 2009 11:00 pm
I just didn't see a lot of great services to the forwards for the US today. I saw very little I liked from midfield. There were very few runs with the ball from midfield to create open spaces. The forwards constantly had someone on their back when they were receiving the pass. Why pass to these guys if they can't do anything with the ball. The only one that impressed me tonight was Spector & Boca & Dolo. Everyone else seemed lethargic, bored and unimaginative out there. Was suprised we didn't see Dempsey play forward at all since he will probably end up there for the WC. They looked so sloooow without Donovan out there creating runs.
Saturday November 14, 2009 7:35 pm
All immm gonna say is Bornstein and Casey and nothing else. Ok on another note Altidore is letting me down as of recent. MB played a hell of a game and so did spector even though he wasnt really tested. Ohhh and Dolo' is and should be our starting right back. We really dont have a Left back problem cause we have plenty of players that can fill that spot its just that When Bornstein is playing it seems like we need a Left back.
Saturday November 14, 2009 7:28 pm
Jose hit the nail on the head. Same with Goodson. Bornstein is the worse man in USA colors I have seen in the last two WC cycles. Couse, one could put the blame where it belongs, Bob Bradley.
Saturday November 14, 2009 5:29 pm
So how does Coach Bradley know that Castillo would not be more effective than the disastrous Bornstein at left back? It wasn't just the penalty (which was a relatively soft call). It was the constant giveaways and the general impotence of Bornstein. His unwillingness to even trial Castillo is unbelievable. Has he called him into a recent camp even?
Saturday November 14, 2009 4:49 pm
EJ ,Casey,Borstein,Felhaber,,,,We seen enough
Now I will like to see Cooper ,Castillo ,Torres,Holden
For BB,,,I did not understain the replacesments ,,
To much posession ,but they don't know what to do with the ball

My sister-in-law's bridal shower was very girly. She decides to decorate everything pink. I made a light pink and dark pink cake, with some details in black, all in fondant. I really liked the way it turns out, but I'm still having trouble "finishing" the decoration, speacially between the first and the second tier... Thanks for looking...

Hey Guys
i think I've asked this before on here but I'm in dire need with some help on my rotation...
I know the rotation is:
Blood thirst
Heroic strike/cleave
and the fill in attacks are:
Heroic throw
But I'm just thinking that my talents are wrong... i do not have any talents in improved slam and instead have points in extra dmg from 2h weapons (arms tree)
but i was thinking that the improved slam procs often and it's an instant free cast which could improve dps rotation timing instead of just waiting for my WW or BT to cool off...
What are your recommendations?
should i take out 2h weapon extra dmg and put it back into Imp slam?
I have been spamming some skills but I don't think that's working, is there a time limit or speed I got to use in between these skills to improve my dps over all? So instead of spamming the buttons do I need to time them with my normal melee hits so I don't interrupt my normal white melee hits?
Ta guys

Isn't Hero Strike a taunt?
May 17, 2010 at 5:23 UTC
It's not a taunt but more a high threat attack.
Isn't Hero Strike a taunt?
May 18, 2010 at 3:59 UTC
Had a look on Max DPS website and it says use slam proc before HS and at low hp replace slam with execute...
i have changed a few things on my Fury last night
Changed some gems from Attack power + Crit - to - 20 Armor pen
Hopefully this will almost double my dps as it neglects almost 40% of the targets armor...
my crit has gone from 44% chance down do 38%
Hit rating has gone down from 550 to 535
i kept my expertise gems in so i can actually hit my target without it dodging or parrying... both weapons are at 17 each...
Changed my talents again and i have managed to get the 2h weapon dmg in arms + the slam ability at the sacrifice of extra attack power from my battle shout...
They say that the extra hit that slam procs gives more dps then the attack power extra dmg on all skills and normal hits…
I will give it a go tomorrow night and see if my dps has gone up from 2.5k
May 18, 2010 at 8:48 UTC
Keep us posted. When I get my Shaman to 80 I'm gonna be running up my Warrior.
May 24, 2010 at 12:52 UTC
I know some warriors (I might be one of em soon) who completely swapped out HS for cleave instead. same rage costs and if you spec and glyph it properly you can get equitible if not better damage.
Gemming for Arp is the best thing you can do right now however once cata hits and they take away arp you are going to spend a fortune re-gemming for str.
May 25, 2010 at 3:37 UTC
I believe Blizz said they will change the gems from ArP to str automatically anyway so no need too re-gem...
I tested my dps with the ArP gems in and my dps has gone from 2.5k to 4.5k DPS :-p
Thats an extra 2k Dps on target dummys HC 5 mans
and an avg 2.8k Dps on Raid boss dummy... with only self buffs...
May 25, 2010 at 7:51 UTC
I've been playing a fury warrior from the dawn of time.
Rotation is
Slam (only if it procs)
Cleave (if above 50 rage and multiple mobs)
Heroic Strike (if above 50 rage and single target)
Victory rush and HT if it procs and you have a free CD (not a hufge factor)
Also make sure you're keeping sunders up on raid bosses ok.
I really don't use execute anymore I don't see the point I think i wastes too much rage than outputs damage in the long run.
Talents find the Cookie cutter build and stick with it
DO NOT TAKE IMP SLAM IT'S ABSOLUTELY USELESS IN FURY, you only use slam when it procs.
Lets talk about gearing
Hit rating = 164
Expertise = 26 (6.5%)
You need these caps no matter what more hit is fine but not too much hit these caps no matter what even if you have to gem for them.
After you've reached these caps gem for STR only until you get a trinket like the NES http://www.wowhead.com/item=50198/needle-encrusted-scorpion
Then start gemming to hit a cap od 1400 while the trinket is procced.
After that start gemming for STR again.
May 25, 2010 at 7:59 UTC
Only 164 hit? Sure that is not 264 like other 2H DPS?
May 25, 2010 at 8:22 UTC
The hit cap has to be more then that!? I've heard hard cap for hit is 432 if you duel wield 2 x 2h weapons? and having the 2 Trinkets that give +128 hit rating from triumph vendor puts you well over 164 hit anyway...
You say Gem for Str? i tried this and it improved nothing my dps didn't go up much only like 150, i gemed ArP and my dps went up another 1200 but until cata comes out then all ArP gems change to STR gems... because of the new Stat changes
May 25, 2010 at 9:39 UTC
It's only 164 more isn;t bad but 164 ensures your specials don;t miss with the precision talent. (yes 264 if your an arms warrior)
This is all you need, more isn;t bad it helps with rage gen but never ever gem for hit we aren;t rogues you'll get a bigger dps return aiming for arp, str or crit.
It's more beneficial to gem for STR until you can soft cap it so you'll hit 1400 when the trink procs. (about when you're completely decked out in the T9 + other badge gear).
You never ever want to aim for hard capped hit as a fury warrior you will gimp your DPS. And before anyone says it, yes haste sucks.
May 25, 2010 at 9:46 UTC
I prefer to hit with my white attacks as it replenishes my rage so i don't rage starve my self, so i avg my hit cap around 300 - 350...
non of my gems are hit or haste (haste is a waste of time)
i need more expertise it's 17 each atm
ArP - 30%
Hit - 420
22k HP
2.3k Str
Crit % 32% when attacking not including group buff

Statistics sometimes tell the story
A Win Share is a number that covers offense, defense and, if the player in question is a pitcher, pitching.
Updated: February 6, 2004, 9:29 AM ETBy Jim Baker | MLB Insider
I've been using Bill James' Win Shares a bit this week and that's generated quite a few letters asking just what a Win Share is and how it's calculated. I'll explain the first and give you a link that better explains the second.
1. It puts pitching and offense in the same context.
It manages to compare the apple with the orange.
A Win Share is a single number that covers the whole shooting match: offense, defense and, if the player in question is a pitcher, pitching. What is especially neat about it is that it takes into account context. A player's home park advantage/disadvantage is factored into the equation as is the era in which he played or is playing. This is done by using the number of runs scored in the player's league as well as the number scored by his team as a basis of comparison. It's far more complicated than that, of course, but that's an easy way to describe it. Some things I especially like about Win Shares are these:
Win Share allows fans to compare players from different eras.
1. It puts pitching and offense in the same context.
It manages to compare the apple with the orange.
2. It takes into account defense. Do defensive stats still have a long way to go? Yes, but compared to where they were 20 years ago, they have already come a long way and Win Shares does a full accounting of the up-to-the-minute improvements.
3. It cuts through the vagaries of time. The 26 posted by Pie Traynor in 1925 has the same basic meaning as the 26 posted by Vernon Wells last year.

Mississippi College Stuns No. 3 Mary Hardin-Baylor
Oct. 17, 2009
Courtesy of Mary Hardin-Baylor
CLINTON, Miss. – The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team could not overcome a late turnover and last-second field goal and the third-ranked Cru fell to Mississippi College 17-14 Saturday afternoon in Clinton, Mississippi. The loss drops UMHB to 5-1 overall and 4-1 in American Southwest Conference play and the defeat also snaps the Cru's 33-game ASC winning streak. The Choctaws improve to 5-1 overall and 4-0 in the ASC and take over sole possession of first place in the ASC with the victory.
UMHB would lead 14-7 at halftime, but the Cru offense could not get untracked in the second half. The Cru would fumble the ball away on the opening drive of the second half, but the UMHB defense came up big, forcing a missed field goal on the Choctaws next possession. The Cru then drove to the MC 17-yard line, but Alan Munoz missed a 34-yard field goal attempt. Brett Parker intercepted an Adam Shaffer pass on the next possession and returned it deep into MC territory, but the play was wiped out on a pass interference penalty. Steven Knight would take a handoff and race 46 yards for a touchdown three plays later to tie the game at 14 with 7:46 remaining in the third quarter. The two teams would then trade punts the rest of the way, until the Cru took over the ball on its own 30-yard line with 2:03 left to play. Kyle Noack would have a pass picked off by MC's Dustin Retherford to set the Choctaws up at the MC 44-yard line with 1:27 left to play. Shaffer would drive MC to the 14-yard line before Brannon Walls drilled a 31-yard field goal with four seconds remaining to make it 17-14. UMHB would return the kickoff to the UMHB 34-yard line before time expired.
The Cru would take a 7-0 lead on LiDarral Bailey's 21-yard touchdown pass to Pi'Dadro Davis with 1:15 left in the first quarter. Mississippi College would tie the game on Shaffer's 49-yard TD toss to Renard Ellis with 11:10 to go in the second quarter. UMHB would retake the lead on Bailey's four-yard scoring run with 3:08 remaining in the first half.
The Cru was held to just 322 yards of total offense by the ASC's lowest-rated defense. UMHB ran for 251 yards but threw for just 71 more. The Cru also turned the ball over twice. MC managed just 292 yards of total offense, with 194 of those coming through the air.
Desmond Mays ran for 115 yards on 14 carries against his former team for the Cru. Bailey ran for 74 yards and a TD and threw for 65 yards and a score. Davis caught four passes for 50 yards. Bryson Tucker led the Cru defense with eight total tackles and Brett Parker also intercepted a pass to tie the UMHB career record with 11 career picks. Shaffer was 18-40 passing for MC for 194 yards and a score and Knight ran for 103 yards on 23 carries. Ellis caught eight passes for 137 yards and a TD.
UMHB played without Preseason All-American running back Quincy Daniels. The Cru also lost back-up Rickie Williams and starting center Dustin Davis to injuries during the game.
The Cru will now return home to host Southern Oregon University for a 1:00 PM kickoff next Saturday at Tiger Field. That game will also be homecoming for UMHB. The Cru will also play three of its final four games at home. The Cru will need MC to lose twice to have a chance at winning the ASC championship and UMHB will need to win out to have a chance at an at-large bid to the NCAA Division III National Championships.

Germany has strong economy compared to its peer countries in Europe. Further, Gemany plans to introduce EU pass for international students which will allow them to work part time and will also give opportunity to stay for 18 months after the study period. Germany is further opening up to allow international students having work in related area after study and income to apply for citizenship. All this is awaited and I have not received the final notification. I am still positive on Germany and I am sure these notification will be out soon.

Love the story...Out of time is my favorite REM cd. They kick ass!
| Christiangirl chapter 1 . 4/9/2005
I liked the story, but not the way it ended. I think you should add more chapters to it, but then again, that's your call. I liked it anyway, because I like stories about Gil and Sara's past. God bless you and keep up the great work. I hope you add more chapters, though.

- "Diz, are they aliens or something? How did they get here? Did they land? I mean, I know everyone's saying they came out of holes in the ground- but how come we've never seen them before?"
- — Milos, trying to figure out where the Locust came from
Milos was an engineer aboard the Betancourt Star.
Emergance DayEdit
Six weeks after the Armistice between the UIR and COG was signed, the Betancourt Star was entering the port city of Porta Ogari when they received word the city was under attack from an unknown enemy that had emerged from the ground, along with many other cities all across Sera. The Star was diverted to Cape Aelis, and Milos headed to the engine room to make sure the generators were okay. His fellow engineer Dizzy Wallin joined him, and Milos wondered if the attackers were aliens that had landed, because he didn't think that a whole new species of something could just come out of nowhere.[1] After reaching Cape Aelis, Captain Robb Arden told Milos and the rest of the crew to leave the ship and get to their homes the best they could to find their families.[2]

The Washington Wizards now have a 3-1 series lead on the Chicago Bulls.
To this point in the series, who gets your series game ball for the Wizards?
— danny rouhier (@funnydanny) April 28, 2014
How about Trevor Ariza?
According to inpredicatble.com, Ariza's Game 4 performance gave him the highest total Win Probability Added — an offensive metric that expresses how much a player's production influences a team's chances at winning– for the game (plus-22.7 percent). In addition, Ariza had the highest total Game 4 Clutch Win Probability Added (plus-1.5 percent) as well.
His four of his six three-pointers came from the above the break with two more coming on the wings.
Ariza is also a close second on the team to John Wall in terms of total "Kitchen Sink" win probability added, which includes rebounds, assists blocks and steals.
Most importantly, Ariza's performance makes Washington the favorite to win the series, but not necessarily Game 5. According to WhoWins, the higher seed (Chicago in this case) has a 16-1 record in Game 5 when trailing 3-1 in a first-round series, however, the lower seed with a 3-1 lead has won the first-round series 88.2 percent of the time (15-2 series record).
"Each game is harder and harder," said Wizards Coach Randy Wittman. The hardest game we've yet to play. Closing out a series is hard. It's hard."
Ariza did make it a little bit easier.

When a special day arrives we arrive too with a tribute. Birthdays are popular but dates of death are too, particularly for people like me who were born quite later than most of our legend musicians but have witnessed thru news papers when legends like Rafi Saab passed away. I still remember when I saw the news of Rafi Saab's death. The first thing that came to my thoughts was now who will sing songs like "Kya Hua Tera Waada". What a great loss that was for music lovers all the world over. The super vocal power house got shut down for ever after his demise. Rafi died but left a legacy and hundreds of thousands of people began singing his songs. I am very lucky to have friends who have asked me to cover some songs. This was also suggested by Anand Ji. Today is not my usual day for upload but I will ask you friends to listen this lovely song that is actually a duet but I like it so much I sang it all. I also liked it because its interludes resemble another very good song Teri Duniya Se Door by Rafi/Lata and composed by Chitragupta. The lyrics Laagi Chhute Na are appropriate for us amateur singers and I hope friends sing and upload as many Rafi songs as they can. I sincerely hope you will all enjoy this oldie in my voice too.

YMCA's pancake breakfast to spotlight fitness wing
MADISON The first big event to showcase the newly renovated Madison Area YM CA Family Center on Kings Road, will be its annual Pancake Breakfast Open House from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Sunday, Jan. 27. YMCA officials are hopeful that finishing touches on the new Fitness and Pro gram Wing will be far enough along to permit the use of the wing's new atrium en trance and lobby, if not the entire new Neil O'Donnell Fitness Center, by the time of the Pancake Breakfast Open House. The projected completion for the first wing is somewhere around Jan. 27, and for the second floor somewhere around Feb. 10. The Pancake Breakfast is an annual event that brings together YMCA families, volunteers, staff, the general public and local officials for an old-fashioned mid-winter community gathering.
Fleece Blankets
The Open House also will be the last opportunity to get a free YMCA-embroidered fleece blanket. It is available for anyone who becomes a new member in January, up through Jan. 27.
YMCA staff members and volunteers will be on hand to answer questions about YMCA programs, to take guests on guided tours of the Family Center facility, and to serve pancakes, sausages, fruit and hot beverages at family-friendly prices.
"Many YMCA regulars use the Pancake Breakfast event as the opportunity to meet the spouses and children of the members they work out with everyday," noted YMC A Public Relations Director Denis J. Kelly. "It's funny to hear many of them say, as they are greeting one another, some after having just come from church, 'Wow, I almost didn't recognize you without your workout clothes on or without you r bathing suit on'."
Also planned for the open house are activities in the program areas, balloons, and music.
For information about the Pancake Breakfast Open House and the free YMCA-embroidered fleece blanket, call member services director Julie Koriakin at (973) 377-6 200, ext. 226.
Free family photos to accompany the pancakes at YMCA breakfast
MADISON Families and couples and even individuals who consider themselves a family of one who attend the Pancake Breakfast Open House at the Madison Area YMCA on Sunday, Jan. 27, can pose for a free informal family portrait, complements of the YMCA public relations department. "We did this at last year's Pancake Breakfast," said Denis J. Kelly, YMCA public relations director. "We got many great inter-generational shots of parents, grandparents and kids. After an old-fashioned community pancake breakfast served up by YMCA volunteers, everyone just seemed in the proper mood for a quick snapshot of their family together, many in informal clothes, some in church clothes, having fun." Added Kelly, "We posted the pictures on a display board at the YMCA, and for weeks after, members would go up, pick out their picture and marvel at the other pictures. Then, we gave them a 4-inch by 6-inch copy of the portrait, suitable for framing or being blown up. It was a nice family thing to do."
The Pancake Breakfast Open House will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan . 27, at the YMCA Family Center, Kings Road. Pancakes and pictures will be avail able in Buttenheim Hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Signs will be posted. For information about the free family portraits call Kelly at (973) 377-6200, ext. 235.

We're rapidly approaching the thirtieth anniversary of the Falklands War (April to June 1982), which saw the British military reclaim the United Kingdom's remote South Atlantic island possessions from Argentine invaders.
Gen. Sir Michael Jackson, a former British Army chief of staff, recently made headlines when he proclaimed that defense cuts make it "just about impossible" for British naval forces to wrest back the Falklands should Argentina occupy them again. The Royal Navy retired aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal last year, leaving the navy with zero capacity to project fixed-wing air power by sea until the troubled Queen Elizabeth-class flattops enter service, presumably around the end of this decade. London also sold the nation's entire inventory of Harrier jump jets to the U.S. Marine Corps for spare parts, leaving the navy with zero air power to project until the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter enters service, also around the end of the decade.
Like nature, power politics abhors a vacuum. It's probably no coincidence that Buenos Aires is ramping up its demands for the islands as Britain's capacity to re-conquer them dwindles. Economically stagnant Argentina desperately wants to tap the natural resources found in the waters and seabed adjacent to the Falklands. A recent series of oil discoveries – most recently in the "Sea Lion" field eighty miles north of the islands – has spurred talk of a "black gold rush" in the South Atlantic. Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has reproached London for exhausting "Argentinean natural resources" while vowing to "get [the islands] back." Meanwhile, Britain's shrinking expeditionary capability has reduced officials like Brig. Bill Aldridge, commander of British forces in the South Atlantic, to insisting that it matters little whether the British military can recover the Falklands; it will never lose them in the first place. Declares Aldridge, "I am not expecting to hand the islands over to anybody and therefore put us in a position to have to retake the islands."Read Full Article »

Recording and Production News
Prism Media Products Limited wins a Queen's Award for EnterpriseCambridge, UK: On Friday, 15 July 2011, Prism Media Products Limited, whose brands include Prism Sound, SADiE and Imerge, was presented with its Queen's Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade. The presentation was made by Mr. Hugh Duberly, Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire, and took place at the company's headquarters in Stretham. Also present were Jim Paice, MP for South East Cambridgeshire and Mark Lloyd, Chief Executive of Cambridgeshire County Council.
L-R: Jim Paice, Ian Dennis, Graham Boswell, Mr. Hugh Duberly
Graham Boswell, Sales Director of Prism Media Products Limited, expressed his thanks to everyone in the company, saying: "This Award would not have been possible without the hard work and effort put in by our staff and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them. I'm really proud of them all."
Mr. Hugh Duberly pointed out that a Queen's Award is equivalent to an individual receiving an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
"As Her Majesty's representative, I would like to congratulate Prism Media Products on receiving this Award," he said. "This company is at the sharp end in terms of electronic engineering and what you do is enormously important to the ongoing success of UK PLC."
After offering his congratulations, Jim Paice took the opportunity to announce a major order from the BBC for the company's new SADiE 6 software. The BBC has ordered its first 50 licences for its BBC North facility in Salford and has selected SADiE as the standard "Craft Editor" for audio to complement its radio production and playout automation systems.
"While exports are key to helping the country get out of the economic mess it has been in, it is also very satisfying to be able to announce such a major contract for the domestic market," Jim Paice said.
The Queen's Award for Enterprise is the highest official UK award for British business. The awards are made on the advice of the Prime Minister and his Advisory Committee, which comprises leading individuals from industry, commerce, trade unions and Government. They are then conferred by HRH Queen Elizabeth II on her birthday, April 21st.
Prism Media Products Limited is renowned for developing and manufacturing professional audio and home entertainment equipment and software. Founded in 1987, the company operates in a number of market sectors including broadcast, film, music production, manufacturing and telecommunications. Customers include sound recording professionals, audio engineers in industry, educational establishments, law enforcement, government departments and consumers of high-quality home entertainment products.
In order to be considered for a Queen's Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade, a company must show a substantial and sustained increase in export earnings over three consecutive 12-month periods, to a level which is outstanding for the products and services concerned, and for the size of the organisation. Prism Media Products Ltd has experienced six years of sustained sales growth and has more than doubled overseas sales, with 66% of its sales now going to customers abroad.
The company's outstanding performance is supported by 120 foreign dealers and its sister company in the USA, which is headquartered in New Jersey and recently opened an office in California. Prism Media Products Limited created 10 new UK jobs during the Award period and has since employed a further nine staff in the UK.
Prism Media Products Ltd's product range includes the internationally acclaimed Prism Sound ADA-8XR multi-channel audio analogue to digital converter, which is regularly used for music and film soundtrack projects by clients such as EMI Abbey Road, BBC, Sony, Lucasfilm and Walt Disney; the Prism Sound dScope Series III audio analyser, which is used by broadcasters and major consumer electronics brands in automotive, home entertainment, personal mobile and communications; the SADiE range of digital audio workstations and location recorders and the Imerge range of movie and music-focussed entertainment servers, which includes the MS1-HD media server, the musicm8 music streaming server and the XiVA on-line music store.
