So just to clarify, does this mean that there IS an ugly hack in place but there is a bug in it, or the solution would be an ugly hack that has not been implemented ? Cheers D

The most common Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tool is the Translation Memory (TM). Translation segments are loaded into the client-owned TM database after each translation project. OmniLingua Worldwide is proficient in all major TM systems and has developed a proprietary TM tool, OTIS●mem™, with enhanced capabilities.
Our Philosophy
OmniLingua analyzes each project to determine the most appropriate technology based on inputs and client requirements. We use a TM for virtually all projects, except those that are extremely small or ad hoc without any potential future leveraging or content reuse.
Each time we begin work with you, we will create a TM. You may use multiple TMs for divisions and product lines if the content is dissimilar. When we receive new materials from you for quotation, we load the new content in the TM to determine price using previous content.
TMs work best for technical, legal and training content where much reuse occurs. We ensure maximum leverage of our client's previously translated intellectual property by identifying material that is exact or similar to previously localized content—and then using previous translations before the human translation phase. While all content will benefit from this technology, the value increases greatly when used in translating technical documents with highly specialized vocabularies.

According to updates and reports by the CDC, the 2013-2014 flu season is the worst in the U.S. since 2009 — especially among young and middle-aged adults younger than 65.
The CDC reported that 60 percent of hospitalizations for influenza this flu season have been of people between the ages of 18-64, whereas over the past year, this age category only made up 35 percent of influenza cases.
A follow-up report by the Los Angeles Times estimated that 34 percent of people between 18 and 64 are receiving annual vaccination — the lowest of any age demographic.
In an interview with NPR, Dr. Cameron Wolfe, an assistant professor of infectious disease at Duke, said the reason for the high number of young and middle-aged adults sick with influenza is that they believe themselves healthy enough to not need the annual flu vaccine.
"Very young teenagers and college-age kids tend to think they're immortal," Wolf said to NPR. "And I think there's a general misunderstanding of the role of vaccines."
This year's flu strain — the H1N1 virus, or swine flu — has been quite deadly so far. In California, where the virus has been strong, 278 people have died from influenza-caused symptoms, according to a Feb. 21 press release from the California Department of Public Health.
Wolfe said part of the misunderstanding is that flu vaccines take up to two weeks to take full effect, and if someone gets sick after they've received the vaccine but before it can take effect, that person can mistakenly believe the vaccine either didn't work or made them sick.
Pregnant women also have a high risk of contracting the flu virus, according to the CDC.3 comments on this story
In a Feb. 11 story, CNN reported that a 29-year-old Arkansas woman who was 20 weeks pregnant contracted the virus, lost the baby and then died herself three weeks later from flu symptoms.
To combat the high number of young and middle-aged adults contracting the swine flu, Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC, has some advice all Americans can still take: Get the vaccine.
"This season is hitting middle-age and younger adults hard and the season is likely to continue for some time," Frieden told the Los Angeles Times. "It's not too late to get a flu shot."
According to the CDC, the flu season could likely continue through April.

With a little research and a lot of practice, programs like Photoshop can greatly benefit a photographer, whether it be just by enhancing an image, or completely transforming it.
There are quite a few photo-editing programs around today that can help you edit digital photos.
If I am to be completely honest, as a photographer, I would have to say that I almost enjoy photo editing as much as taking the photo in the first place.
I know, I know. "How shocking!
You can't be a real photographer!" you might say.
Sure, there is nothing like pressing the shutter and knowing that you have just captured an amazing image, but there is also nothing like looking at a before and after photo of the image you have just edited.
I giggle with glee when I look at how much I have just metamorphosed the entire photo!
Most of the time I do a bare minimum amount of editing on my photos, but I love when I have the chance to test out my photo manipulation skills and go crazy with it.
Not every photographer likes photoshop or editing; it purely depends on their own particular style and method.
In this particular photo, my friend, Pabline and I went out to a riverbank at about 6am to catch the last of the sunrise.
We had a few particular things in mind, and just generally went with a fairytale theme.
I laughed when she pulled out a feather quill pen and asked if I could 'make words in the sky.' I agreed to give it a try, thinking that I wouldn't actually be able to.
When I got home and had a look at the image, I couldn't really imagine how it would look.
After I got started on it though I couldn't stop.
Once I realised that it would look better with the contrast of a night sky, I went about figuring out how to 'turn off the lights.'
Here is a quick run down on how I did it.
As you can see, there are many complex layers to this photo, so I will try to just explain the basics that may be simpler for you to try out yourself.
First I opened up my image in Photoshop CS5.
I made sure to use the RAW file of this photo. I can't stress enough the benefits of shooting and editing RAW photos.
I decided I didn't like the tree in the background so removed it using the clone stamp tool to give me a clean slate for the sky.
Next, to make the photo darker and more like night-time, I created a new layer, filled it with a navy blue, and set the blend mode to 'multiply.'
This made the image far too dark so I lightened it up by making a curves adjustment layer and lifting the line on the right side of the scale a lot, and lifting the line on the left side a little.
I did a lot of dodging and burning to bring out certain parts of the photo.
Pabline's face and body were quite dark and washed out, due to the navy blue filter I added, so to 'bring her out of the dark,' I used the dodge tool to make her look a lot lighter. This wouldn't have been quite as necessary if there had already been added light on her face, but as it was, the light was quite flat in the original photo due to the time of day we were shooting.
To give it some nice warm purple tones, I added another solid colour adjustment layer, filled it with a plum purple colour, and set the blend mode to 'softlight', then made another layer exactly the same except I set it to 'screen.'
After that, I basically fiddled with the contrast and curve layers to get the photo where I wanted it.
The stars in the sky were created by looking for creative commons free space textures on the internet.
I found one that I thought would look good, and saved the photo after making sure I had the right to use it.
After dragging it over the top of the photo of Pabline, I set the blend mode to 'softlight.'
I then added a layer mask to the layer, and wiped out the bits that were on Pabline and the grass, just leaving the stars in the sky.
To create the words, (I know, I couldn't think of anything less cheesy than, 'I love you') I double clicked on the layer in the layers panel, which brings up the layer style/effects panel.
There I went into 'outer glow,' and put a yellow glow on the outside of the words, changing the opacity until I was happy.
From there I simply rotated the layer and sized it to be in place near her quill.
For the 'fireflies' effect, I simply selected a soft-edged brush, made sure I had a yellow colour in my foreground colour panel, and clicked on random places in the photo. It was a little tricky finding the balance between the fireflies being too contrived, but also being laid out in a way that was pleasing too the eye and not too random. I then put an 'outer-glow' on that layer, the same as I did on the words layer.
Obviously there is no possible way that this photo can look completely real, as having glowing words in the air like that isn't a reality. Fireflies are also not very common in photos, so trying to recreate them is a bit of a hit-and-miss.
In the end, I decided to make the photo 'fantasy-like,' and didn't focus too much on making it realistic.
There are many everyday types of photos in which you can use this effect to transform a photo into night-time without it looking so fake. If your intent is for it to look like it was truly taken at night-time, then making sure you have good lighting and correct exposure in the original photo will make it a lot easier.
Above all, experiment and keep trying! If it doesn't work the first time, just try again. If you don't have Photoshop, there are lots of other free photo editing programs out there.

Cincinnati Bengals vs Kansas City Chiefs Live Stream Free: Watch Online NFL Sunday Football (1PM ET)
The Cincinnati Bengals will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in the NFL with the Bengals looking to pull their regular season record back to level with a win against one of the worst teams in the league this year so far. The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream via the link provided below.
Cincinnati come into this game with a record of 4-5 and currently lie third in the AFC North. They are currently two games behind Pittsburgh who are 6-3, and a further game behind AFC North division leaders the Baltimore Ravens.
Meanwhile the Kansas City Chiefs have had a horrendous season so far, coming into this match up with a record of 1-8. That of course makes them bottom of the AFC West, which is currently being led by the 6-3 Denver Broncos. The Chiefs' hopes of a playoff spot have long gone, but if they can claim an unlikely win today they could potentially move to within a game of the 3-6 Oakland Raiders and hope to leapfrog them before the regular season is over.
The Bengals will come into this game on a high, brimming with renewed confidence having beaten the New York Giants last week. That has given them a glimmer of hope for the postseason, and a win here could get them back into the playoff picture in the AFC North. Especially considering the injury to influential quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger.
A win for the Bengals today would signify the first time the team has reached the .500 landmark this season since Week 6.
Cincinnati made the playoffs last season, but have not made back to back playoffs in decades. They will be hoping to be able to rewrite that history this season, and if they are to fulfill their ambitions, a win against a team playing as poorly as the Kansas City Chiefs is essential.
Cincinnati Bengals vs Kansas City Chiefs is set to start at 1 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream by clicking here.

The initial Brawl shipment for Japan is reputed to be only 300,000-400,000 copies, which is not much for a popular title in a country with 5 million Wii gamers. Import retailer NCSX is also reporting a small supply, and has stopped taking preorders as a result.
Does this mean we'll see riots in Japan on the eve of February, incited by frustrated gamers longing to get their hands on the Wii's most anticipated game to date? And, is it possible that North American gamers will face similar shortages when Brawl releases here in March? We can only hope the answer to both of these questions is, "no."

Well, I have to tip my hat to Eva Mendes. Not only did she land the most wanted dick in the world, Ryan Gosling, but when he seemed kind of over it, she pulled out the pregnancy card. Preach girl, you know how to play that shit!
New sources (probably Rachel McAdams) are saying that baby Gosling was actually conceived via goodbye fuck. Yes, that's right, Ryan was done with Eva's ass, but still decided to bareback it in her one last time and then BAM! Baby! Take notes, bitches, because this is how you keep a man like Ryan Gosling.
Insiders are now saying that all those rumours from several months ago saying that Eva and Ryan had split were totally true, but, like most long term relationships, they were still fucking during their transitioning to being broken up phase. Now, apparently celebs are just like us and don't give a fuck about condoms, because during these transition fucks, Ryan put the world's most beautiful baby into Eva's womb.
So basically, Ryan was all like "Ugh, I'm over this shit" and then Eva was all:
So Ryan was all like: Damn, those sensitive "Hey Gurl" memes about me are really popular. Bitches think I'm like boyfriend of the year, I can't fuck up my fan base by leaving my baby mama.
And therefore, he was stuck.
However, a band-aid baby isn't exactly fixing things, as apparently things are still pretty tense between Eva and Ryan because of his one true love, Rachel McAdams. The same source says:
Rachel is definitely a source of ongoing tension between Ryan and Eva.
I'm starting to think that all these celebrity "sources" are just me when I'm black out drunk, because "sources" tend to say all the shit that I wish was true. I mean, Ryan and Rachel 4ever, tru luv always, you know?
Fuck, the source probably is me…

Shields not worrying about trade rumors
Shields not worrying about trade rumors
Major League Baseball's non-waiver Trade Deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and Shields' next outing with the Rays is scheduled for about six hours later, in Oakland.
But the right-hander isn't focused on the rumors that have been fluttering around the past few weeks, rumors that have him linked to the Angels, Rangers, Tigers and Dodgers, among many other possible suitors.
"I worry about that later, after the fact that it happens," Shields said. "As of right now, I'm a Ray, and I'm going to try to win some games for us this year."
But that doesn't mean Shields isn't hearing all of the talk.
"It's out there," he said. "This happens every year. I heard a bunch of stuff last year too, as well. Heard a bunch of stuff this offseason. It's just kind of one of those things where, I've been in the game long enough to realize that this is a business, and this is what goes on, and you just never know what's going to happen. So you've just kind of got to let it go and not really worry about it."
Manager Joe Maddon isn't all that concerned with all of the trade talk, either. Far from revealing the Rays' intentions as the Deadline approaches, Maddon opted to give the stock answer when asked on Wednesday about all of the possibilities.
"You're always looking to get better," Maddon said. "But even if we don't do anything, I believe that the group out here right now can get to the playoffs again. I'm still going to stand by my stance from the beginning -- we're going to go to the World Series this year. I'm not backing down from that."
Maddon sees the starting pitching as his team's biggest strength, and doesn't envision a breakup of the rotation with the Rays very much in contention.
Rather, he sees the latest flow of rumors as a product of the system and something he's become very used to. Center fielder B.J. Upton, an impending free agent, has been the subject of similar rumors for the past two seasons.
"All of these rumors are going to happen, every year it's somebody else with us," Maddon said. "B.J. has been the rumor or trade du jour on an annual basis, and now this year it's James. I really don't anticipate anything happening."
"To not have James in the mix would be very difficult to get back to the promised land. So, as normal, we hear this every year, but I really don't anticipate a lot to happen, or anything to happen."
Bigger than any acquisition the Rays could make in the trade market would be the healthy return of Evan Longoria, who was hitting .329/.433/.561 with four home runs and 19 RBIs through 23 games before suffering a partial tear of his left hamstring.
"The most helpful part would be that he's well, that he can continue to play," Maddon said. "That'd be the most helpful, as opposed to thinking that you have to go get somebody else."

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prime Minster David Cameron is expected to spell out his plans to renegotiate his country's relationship with the European Union in a speech on Friday.
Following are some of the key changes sought by the Fresh Start group of Eurosceptic lawmakers in Cameron's Conservative Party:
Fresh Start want an "emergency brake" on future EU financial services legislation. Cameron failed to win a veto right on such legislation in 2011 and vetoed treaty changes to introduce stricter euro zone budget discipline in return. Britain did secure safeguards last month on the creation of a single banking supervisor for the euro zone designed to prevent non-euro states from being systematically outvoted on banking regulation.
Free-market Eurosceptics say much EU social and employment legislation is burdensome and want member states to make their own such laws. Failing that, they want an opt-out of EU rules limiting working time to 48 hours a week and granting temporary agency workers the same rights as permanent employees. They also want an emergency brake on future EU legislation in this field.
Eurosceptics regard Europe's common agricultural and common fisheries policies as bureaucratic and protectionist. Some want them abolished or opt-outs for Britain. Others seek a phasing out of direct subsidies to farmers, more regional management of fish stocks and the right to control the access of other European fishing vessels to British waters.
Eurosceptics want Britain to opt out of EU police and judicial cooperation, including the European Arrest Warrant introduced in 2001. They also object to the application of the European Convention on Human Rights in British law, though this is a Council of Europe commitment, not an EU obligation.
They want to reduce the rights of immigrants from new EU member states to live, work and receive welfare benefits in Britain. This would need negotiation but not treaty change. They also want tougher controls on asylum seekers entering Britain from other EU countries.
Eurosceptics want to "repatriate" control over regional development spending in all but the poorest member states to national governments. They also want to move the European Parliament from Strasbourg, France, to Brussels to save 235 million euros a year spent commuting between the legislature's two homes and offices in Luxembourg. They also aim to abolish a range of lesser EU bodies.

NEED HELP!!! Newbie looking for first bike.
Hi, everyone.
I've been looking to get a bike and needed some suggestions on which one to buy. I would be using the bike for mainly as another form of exercise on bike trails and a little bit on roads. The Diamondback Trace Comp and the Trek DS 8.3 are two bikes that I am considering. Would these be a good fit for what I want to do? Does anyone have any insight on these bikes? Any advice would be helpful. Also, if you need to know anymore info, just ask.
Thank you.
Both bikes are great bikes. However, I'd prefer a hardtail mtb to be used extensively on bike trails and country roads, if the terrain is particularly rocky or has much coarse gravel. OTOH, if much of the terrain is paved or has hard dirt surfaces, I just might go with either a hybrid or perhaps even your very own choices.
I would recommend a rigid mountain bike ( rigid front fork that is ). It would be lighter, less expensive and less to maintain than a suspension fork. ( disclaimer: I never had a suspension fork on my bikes. But I did test drive one or two . I'm never liked the nose-dive when hard-braking on
a suspension fork )
Or a Hybrid bike as well. A good wide tires ( 700x 32 or wider ) for better traction. and a good seatpost suspension
like the Thudbuster.
Lockout fork suspensions are fine for eliminating any nosedive, and great for when you need them. I hate suspension seat posts, because they always end up wiggling.
Ride a lot of bikes, and buy the one you fall in love with....
If it's your first real bike, I strongly recommend going used. Browse CraigsList. In my area, CL is full of rigid mountain bikes and hybrids. Hybrids are what people new-to-the-sport buy, and when those people find they've bought the wrong bike (type, size, etc.), or find they don't like pedaling, they end up on CL, almost new, and at a huge discount.
Plus, whatever you get, you're likely to not like after a year, but you'll learn a ton. Maybe you'll like road biking more than you thought, and want a real road bike. Maybe you'll like the dirt more than you thought and want a MTB. Or maybe you'll just ride a lot and discover you want a better, faster, lighter bike. (Or, more likely, you'll find out you want a bike that's slightly different in size.)
If you buy used, you can ride it for a year, find out what you really want/need, then sell it for about what you paid for it.
Since you are just beginning to ride bikes for exercise and a little on road, I think the hardtail mtb bike,CX or hybrid bike is good for you. It won't be expensive. When you turn out to find that you like a specific kind of cycling, say, mtb or road, then you may upgrade your bike to be carbon.
New Trek frames are life time covered by a warrantee. IDK about Diamond-back
names get sold, they may have nothing to do with their past , historical company.
1st Bike I recommend walking into a bike Shop. see touch and test ride.
My first real bike was a Giant Escape. Pretty hard to beat for the money.
Buying used is always good advice for starting out. You can likely sell the bike for around what you paid for it if you decide you dont like it. Of course if you do like it you can always sell it for what you paid for and upgrade. I have gone down the path of both used and new and I have eventually sold every bike to purchase another. The new ones I took a loss on and the used ones I sold for close to or as much as I purchased it.
This is EXACTLY what I did this Summer. It was my first real bike, but I had sticker shock to what they cost. After doing some research, I realized I had 2 choices. Either get a new, lower quality bike or a higher quality used bike. I chose the latter.
I searched on Craigslist for about a month and found a bike that fit me. I ended up buying a 2007 Trek 7200 for $180 that was in very good condition. It is the equivalent between the Trek DS 8.2 and 8.3. I paid $100 to replace the front tire and get a tune up. The thing is like brand new and I am all in at $280. This bike originally with all the extras that came with it to close to $650.
It showed me what a hybrid is like, which I love. I do mostly pavement and some light trails, which make the bike a good fit. If I was going to try out another bike I would try the Trek FX series and see how well that performs on light trails.
The other thing I found to be a bonus with older models is that some time the older bikes have better components than some of the new ones, or have the same components for a higher model new bike.
Take your time, you can get great deals now, in the Winter!!
Wouldn't it be nice if the OP checked back in and respond to your answers. Too often on here people ask basic what bike question and never contribute again. It gives me the edgar brits.
I'm still in newbie category, I had a handful of K-Mart bikes of the MTB variety that I rode sparingly over the years, and finally got a "real bike" this past September. Trek Verve 1, $400 even at LBS. Just shy of 900 miles since, most on rail/trail and a little on paved roads.
I have learned:
1) I want to gravitate eventually towards a road type bike. (I have the seat as high as practical and the bars as low as they can go. I want 'em lower, but that means different bars eventually. A pair of economy Figure 8 bar extensions has helped.)
2) I don't need tread -- or, at least, very little. (The stock tires were Bontrager H5 700x35 with minimal middle tread and semi-aggressive outer tread, "lugs" I guess. Front tire in okay shape, back tire worn smooth and had a few "breaches" where rocks and glass bits worked their way through. LBS recommended a Race Lite Hardcase 700x32 for the back. I was concerned because it's a borderline slick tire. But I have rode it in the rain and wet leaves and over wooden bridges with just a few minor fishtails. Come spring, the front tire will likely be a Race Lite as well ... and I wouldn't mind eventually looking to drop down to 700x28s either.)
3) Once you get started purchasing add-ons and wardrobe, it's tough to stop. (I've gotten a rear rack, panniers, lights, frame pump, car carrier, handlebar bag, cyclocomputer, bar ends and tape, padded shorts, padded long pants, colder weather gloves, base layers, colder weather cycling Jersey, balaclava, a few sticks of Bodyglide, saddlebag w spare tube, tools, chain lube, lock, etc., etc., etc. .... some stuff you can go uber-economy with, some stuff it makes more sense to break down and buy GOOD stuff. This comes w trial and error.)
4) I love it. :-D
I think the Trek Verve 1 without suspension fork is a good starter, but will also agree that if you find a comparable used bike for less, do it. I have figured out, though, that a MTB type with suspension and fat aggressive tires is NOT for the terrain I normally ride. Good luck.
Thank you everyone for your input. I decided to take to used bike bath and see what I could find there. The trouble I'm having is finding a bike that is big enough for me. I need an XL frame and cant find a hybrid that has one. Does anyone know other sites besides Craigslist?
Have you tried looking on the "For Sale" section of this forum or the "Wanted to Buy"? At any rate, let us know here what you finally decided to do.

Ok. Last night I drew a picture of a witch and went to save it, only the files that are usually there where replaced with the ones that were supposed to be deleted were there instead, so I figured if I saved it here it would be here next time . . . And now . . . they're gone. I don't know what happened to my drawing but I want it back.

As you may, or may not know, I am a Virginia Tech alumnus. Fortunately, I am not directly connected to any of the victims of the tragic events that have taken place over the past few days. I wanted to thank everyone out there for the support you have poured out on our university the past few days, especially for your prayers.
I was amazed at the response of Virginia Governor Tim Kaine and President George Bush to the situation and their amazing examples of tact and leadership.
I'm extremely proud to be a Hokie and extremely proud to be an American.
Friday, April 20 (4/20), 2007 will be National Maroon and Orange Effect day. I invite all alumni, faculty, students, family, friends, and fans of Virginia Tech to proudly wear your maroon and orange in support and respect for the 32 victims of Monday's tragedy.
Like all of you, my heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to the families of the deceased, their friends, classmates, and all Hokies directly impacted.

VIRGIN AUSTRALIA VELOCITY FREQUENT FLYER EIFFEL TOWER | Sydney, Australia June 2013 -2 Week Build
Celebrating Australians' passion for travel, Virgin Australia's Velocity Frequent Flyer Program engaged Bryan Berg to build the nation's favorite cultural landmark entirely out of freestanding Visa travel money cards. The Eiffel Tower topped the list as the cultural landmark Australians would most like to visit. Berg constructed a 13-foot replica of the Parisian landmark live at Westfield Pitt Street mall in Sydney, his first-ever project on the continent. The structure took more than 120 hours to complete—the equivalent of flying to Paris and back 5 times! Berg's most difficult challenge to date, the tower weighed over 235 pounds, strong enough to support 420 French baguettes. Photos by James Morgan

Hester, I just checked your actual time with others in this size puzzle and your time is REALLY amazing! It also means that chivee726's is amazing as well. I'm not aware of what Froggy's pondweed can do, but if it can make you super fast, then drink more of it, but only if you're willing to have a hangover afterwards. Geeeeeeez, I remember those days.It's so sad that your rugby team lost a match. I hope you can recover from the loss soon. LOL
Wendy , I'm having palpitations just thinking about whizzing around this puzzle like that! It's never, ever, ever happened before so I suspect you may be right. Growly may have been partaking of Froggy's pondweed and slipped some in my coffee... that could account for the monumental headache this evening...OR , that may be because Ireland got royally stuffed in the rugby and I have been out drowning my sorrows! which and whadevver....:-))
Holy Mackerel, Hester! You got a GREAT time! My guess is that Growly made himself some coffee with some added liquor, and then forgot about it. So you drank it....but like I already said, I'm only guessing. Hmmm, I think the only color I'd use on a wall is the green on the right-hand side. All the rest will have to be returned. nigeline- I'm delighted that you enjoyed solving this....whether or not you were fast or slow. Thanks so much for dropping by to let me know. :-)
Hi, thanks for this colorfull puzzle. It makes me happy. I don't belong to the fast solvers, but really enjoyed doing it.
Good grief! Somebody must have slipped something in my coffee this morning!! Think I'll just nip out a run a marathon if I'm feeling this speedy today!! LOL. It seems you've moved on from the paint chips and are heading for a major redecorate!! :-))
Thank you very much, Lesley. I just checked out your puzzles and I love your "Diagonals" that you posted 4 days ago, so I had to come back here and edit my comment. :-)
Good puzzle Wendy.
Edie, I missed you at the top! Well, I think you still have at least one. :-)
Look quick, it won't last long. This one was great to solve. Thanks Wendy
I'm so glad, Billie. And I loved making it so we're even. :-)
Loved, loved, loved it.

Better weber adaptor
Posted 23 May 2006 - 08:51 PM
Posted 24 May 2006 - 12:24 AM
Bow Wow in Lynnwood sells the EMPI adapter for the EA81 (not sure about the EA82). I have some custom adapters that were made by a board member that I'd consider selling. Come by sometime and look at it if you like. ---ed---
Obviously, Redline adaptors look like they're made in Taiwan. Who makes a better 32/36 adaptor? Does Offenhauser still make em? Also, is there any 40mm DCOE setups on EA81/82? Couldn't find anything searching.

It was actually the linkage kit that looked a bit cheesy to me.
Posted 24 May 2006 - 12:58 PM
Posted 24 May 2006 - 01:16 PM
I didn't need to use the linkage kit that came with the carb. I took the linkage off of the Hitachi and it fit perfectly on the Weber throttle shaft, as well as lined up with the cable.
Yes, Me Too...
But mine is a kit "K731" spec. for EA82 (Means: two adapter plates to make one) the one for EA81 is named "K730" (Single Adapter) in Redline Weber... (www.webercarburetors.com)
The only issue I Got on that adapter, is that the bolts that came with it, didn`t fit the intake`s diameter... as I explained here:
And how to correct that... (With Pics)
Any else looks and works perfectly for me.
Posted 24 May 2006 - 03:27 PM
In all, good job with the hoses and stuff. Looks really clean under the hood.
Posted 24 May 2006 - 06:57 PM
I'm sort of funny about things that don't quite fit perfect.. In all, good job with the hoses and stuff. Looks really clean under the hood.
I am like you with things that don´t fit perfect... But let me explain why I did leave that like this in that situation: It´s all about the size of the openings at the Engine´s Heads and the size of the intake itself.
Due to the fact that the size of the intake and the heads opening is the same, I believe that mill the intake bore does not have any effect or difference in the engine´s Performance -or carburetor´s Performance- that´s why I leave it like that... but is good idea to do things better and let the intake opening match exactly the adapter´s opening.
I´ll like to see pics of your intake mill job done... Do you have any pics?
Well... Thanx!

Last year, when I started hearing blatant, one-sided praise around Dallas for some Austin band called the Lemurs, I was confused. Last time I checked, this was a town where people barely fill up Deep Ellum, where people have the gall to fold their arms in disapproval at amazing Deathray Davies concerts. Excitement over an unsigned band? Here? No way.
Then the tall tales started pouring in, all thanks to a November 2005 concert at the Barley House--it was a dance party, they said, where SMU frat boys and holier-than-thou indie-rockers bonded over the music and hopped around like idiots. As Barley bartenders gushed about the show, they soon got into a nasty argument over who'd get dibs on the bar shift for the Lemurs' next appearance in a few weeks. Yow.
When that December show approached, I made a casual preview comment in the Dallas Observer--had to keep my cool. A few days later, I skipped an office Christmas party just to see what the hubbub was about, and two measures into the concert, my confusion was gone.
The Lemurs perform at the Barley House on Saturday, February 11.
The Lemurs tore through 40 minutes of bright-and-shiny rock, equal parts synth, riff and shout. Mitch Billeaud led the proceedings with a near-cocky howl while shaking to his bandmates' mix of Franz Ferdinand, the Cars and classic rock. I danced and strutted like a madman the whole time, and amazingly, so did everyone else around me.
Afterward, I rushed online to find out more about these guys, but when I Googled their name, all I found were photos of animals--no magazine or newspaper stories. Why weren't Austin papers gushing about their wonder boys?
"I don't think people had heard us," Billeaud says. "There's so much to pay attention to [in Austin], I don't think anybody listened. But they seem to be listening now and enjoying it."

The quintet, who met at Texas State University in San Marcos hardly one year ago, has built a fan base quickly--proven by two sold-out shows at Austin's famed Emo's in the past month--but their short tenure belies their experience in bands scattered all over Texas (drummer Willis Deviney, a Dallas native, was an original member of 25% Toby). Luckily, the members' disparate spread of influences (Gang of Four, Led Zeppelin, DJ Shadow) mixes together without turning into a fusion-jam-techno mess.
"That's not by accident at all," Billeaud says. "I got sick of going to Emo's and watching shoegazer rock. I go out because I want to walk away and feel like, 'That was so fun, I'm glad I got my heart rate up.' For some reason in the indie-rock world we're thrown in, there's a risk of being disingenuous if you try to get people to move and enjoy themselves on that super-visceral, physical level, but that's the intention. We want people to come and dance."
It's hard not to compare the band's speedy rise--and outright catchiness--to current hipster lords the Arctic Monkeys, who have burnt up the British charts in the past month. Yet while the Monkeys will get top billing at March's SXSW Music Festival, the Lemurs have been passed by. You'd think the hometown boys would feel burnt, but as they prepare to independently release their smashing eight-song debut, Race, their humility winds up being their most impressive trait.
"I hope there's enough people that listen to what we're doing to label us as anything," Billeaud says. "We're constantly pleasantly surprised by people who like it."

Annual Disclosure
Harford Public Schools is required by law to provide notice annually regarding the following:
Section 504/ADA Compliance Officers. Lynn Buchkowski and Joel Messenger are our district's Section 504/ADA Compliance officers. Ms. Buchkowski may be reached at 621-7144, and Joel Messenger at 621-7201.
Civil Rights Coordinators. Nancy Larsson and Bradley Geesaman are our district's Civil Rights Coordinators. Ms. Larsson may be reached at 621-7421, and Bradley Geesaman at 621-7301.
Equal Educational Opportunity. The Hartford Board of Education declares it to be the policy of this District to provide an equal opportunity for all students, regardless of race, color, creed, disability, religion, gender, ancestry, national origin, place of residence within the boundaries of the District,
or social or economic background to learn through the curriculum offered in this District.
Directory Information on Students. Each student's record is kept in a confidential file located at the student's school office. The information in a student's record is available for review only by the parents or legal guardian of the student, adult student (eighteen (18) years of age or older), and those designated by Federal Law or District regulations.
A parent, guardian, or adult student has the right to request a change or addition to a student's records and to either obtain a hearing with District officials or file a complaint with the U.S. Office of Education if not satisfied with the records or with the District's compliance with the Federal Rights and Privacy Act.
A parent, guardian, or adult student has the following rights:
1. Inspect and review the student's education records;
2. Request amendments if the parent believes the record is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's rights;
3. Consent to disclosures of personally-identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to those disclosures allowed by law;
4. Challenge District noncompliance with a parent's request to amend the records through a hearing;
5. File a complaint with the Department of Education;
6. Obtain a copy of the District's policy and administrative guidelines on student records.
The following information about each student is considered "directory information" and will be made available upon a legitimate request unless a parent, guardian, or adult student notifies the Records Control Office in writing within ten days from the date of this notification that she/he will not permit distribution of any or all of such information: name, address and telephone number; date and place of birth; photograph; major field of study; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; height and weight, if a member of an athletic team; dates of attendance; date of graduation and awards received; and any other information the district considers would not be harmful or an invasion of privacy, if disclosed.
If you have questions regarding school records, please contact the building principal.
Drug-Free Schools. In accordance with Federal Law, the Board of Education prohibits the use, possession, concealment, or distribution of drugs by students on school grounds, in school or school-approved vehicles, or at any school-related event. Drugs includes any alcoholic beverage, anabolic steroid, dangerous controlled substance as defined by State statute, or substance that could be considered a "look-a-like" controlled substance. Compliance with this policy is mandatory for all students. Any student who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, in accordance with due process and as specified in the student handbooks, up to and including expulsion from school. When required by State law, the District will also notify law enforcement officials.
We are concerned about any student who is a victim of alcohol or drug abuse and will facilitate the process by which she/he receives help through programs and services available in the community. Students and their parents should contact the principal, counselor, or social worker whenever such help is needed.
Health and Reproductive Education. The Board of Education has adopted a comprehensive health education program which includes education on human sexuality and venereal and other non-casual contact communication diseases such as AIDS. It is designed to provide an appropriate means for students to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to maintain good health.
In compliance with State law and with its desire to maintain effective communication with parents and the community, the board has made arrangements for the programs and instructional materials to be available for review by any parent or interested member of this community.
Students are required to participate in these courses, but the law allows parents the right to have a child excused from participating in classes which include instruction in sex education, reproductive health and AIDS education. The Board's policy is to honor parents' written requests that their child be excused from certain classes in any course.
Please contact the building principal if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter.
Bloodborne Pathogens. The District is subject to regulations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to restrict the spread of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and human immune deficiency Virus (HIV) in the workplace. These regulations are designed to protect employees of the District who are, or could be, exposed to blood or other contaminated bodily fluids while performing their job duties.
Because of the very serious consequences of contracting HBV or HIV, the District is committed to taking the necessary precautions to protect both students and staff from its spread in the school environment.
Part of the federally mandated procedures include a requirement that the District request the person who was bleeding to consent to be tested for HBV and HIV. This information would then be provided both to the exposed employee and the treating physician to determine properly medical treatment.
The law does not require parents or guardians to grant permission for the examination of their child's blood, but it does require the District to request that consent. Although we expect the incidents of exposure will be few, we want to notify parents of these requirements ahead of time. That way, if the situation does develop you will understand the reason for our request and will have had an opportunity to consider it in advance. These are serious diseases, and we sincerely hope that through proper precautions and cooperation we can prevent them from spreading.
Free/Reduced Lunches. Hartford Public Schools participates in the Federal School Lunch Program. Certain persons are eligible for free or reduced priced lunches. A letter regarding the Federal School Lunch Program and an application for free and reduced priced meals will be sent home with each student the first day of school. Additional application blanks may be obtained in any of the building offices.
Asbestos Information. Several years ago, Hartford Public Schools contracted to remove nearly all asbestos materials in our buildings. Asbestos in public areas was removed. Some asbestos in non-public areas was treated and secured rather than being removed in accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Act (AHERA). Hartford Public Schools completes six month inspections of all facilities. Following is an update:
*Hartford Public Schools contracted for a three-year Asbestos Re-Inspection Management Plan as required by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). The re-inspection was completed July, 2013. This three-year Asbestos Re-Inspection Management Plan is currently available for review in all school offices in the district."
*The Management Plan contains information regarding the location of asbestos-containing materials in school buildings, the condition of the asbestos, and a plan for dealing with any remaining asbestos. The following activities relating to asbestos are currently planned for the District: None
Re-Inspection. A re-inspection of all district buildings is required by law every three years. Our next re-inspection is tentatively scheduled to be completed by July, 2016.
Notification of Pesticide Applications. As part of Hartford Public Schools pest management program pesticides are occasionally applied. Under the new regulations you have the right to be informed prior to any pesticide application made to school grounds and buildings. Hartford Public Schools has arranged to have our pesticide treatment of buildings after school on the fourth Friday of every month during the school year. If a vacation day falls during the school year on a Friday, the treatment may occur during the day on that Friday. During the summer months when school is not in session pesticide treatment could occur during the day on the fourth Friday of the month. This article is intended to serve as prior notification of pesticide applications to Hartford Public Schools building and grounds.
In certain emergencies pesticides may be applied without prior notice, but you will be provided notice following such applications. If you have any questions please contact your building principal or Michael Hallgren at the central office at 621-7002. Any district parent, guardian, or care provider desiring information regarding these pesticides or who wishes to be notified prior to scheduled applications may complete the following request and mail it to Superintendent Andrew Hubbard at 115 School Street, Hartford, MI 49057.

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany
In the era of financial sector reforms, sustainability, viability and operational efficiency of rural financial institutions (RFIs) are the major issues that need to be taken cognizance of in ensuring effective rural credit delivery system. However, the major problems plaguing the efficiency of rural credit delivery system are the mounting overdue and Non Performing Assets (NPAs) of RFIs. In the state of Maharashtra, the credit cooperatives have not only shown slower growth in their institutional finance coupled with much slower growth in their membership but also faster growth in outstanding loans as against their loan advances during the reform period. The reason for this dismal scenario can be associated with adverse environment created by the financial sector reforms, which have reduced the entire rural credit delivery through cooperatives to a moribund state. The financial sector reforms have accorded greater flexibility to cooperatives to invest in non-target avenues like shares and debentures of corporates, units of mutual funds, bonds of public sector undertakings, etc. This has affected credit flow from these major institutions operating in rural Maharashtra as most of their loans meant for farm finance are diverted to investments. The estimates of this study also show not only wide variation in total and crop loan advances of PACS but also their outstanding loans, overdue and per member borrowing across different regions of Maharashtra. The outstanding loan of PACS based on per hectare GCA is seen to have exceeded loan advances with a comfortable margin in all the regions of the state. Although increase in outstanding loan with rise in loan advances and GCA is another issue, the most important one among all is the mounting overdue and NPAs of cooperatives that sets a path where from there is no return and, which ultimately leads to inefficiency in cooperative credit delivery. In order to rejuvenate rural credit delivery system through cooperatives, the major problems facing the system, viz., high transaction cost, poor repayment performance, mounting NPAs, distributional aspect of credit, coverage of various social groups, etc., need to be tackled with more fiscal jurisprudence reserving exemplary punishment for willful defaults, particularly large farmers. In fact, insofar as the rural credit delivery system is concerned, the focus should be on strategies that are required for tackling issues such as sustainability and viability, operational efficiency, recovery performance, small farmer coverage and balanced sectoral development.

.- A 45-year-old man's accusation that Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik forcibly kissed him as a student has no factual basis and the bishop did nothing wrong, the local district attorney says.
"In my opinion there is no base of law or fact to substantiate this claim," said Tony Berosh, district attorney of Beaver County.
The accuser, Mike Rock, never went to police and never reported the alleged assault, he said.
"He's making these allegations and not coming to us and telling us what happened. That speaks volumes for what he has to say," Berosh told WPXI News.
The district attorney said that his office conducted an investigation even though the statute of limitations had expired. He added that Rock has a lengthy criminal record with charges including burglary, indecent exposure and open lewdness.
Berosh contacted Rock, who was reportedly hard to reach and not cooperative. When Rock responded, Berosh said he told him that he was represented by civil counsel and was going to handle matters on his own.
Rock had made accusations against the bishop via e-mail and on the Quigley Catholic High School Facebook page. The page administrator saw the comment and took it down.
Bishop Zubik announced the allegation against him at an Oct. 5 press conference.
"The fear of every priest is that someone, sometime, somewhere, somehow will level a false accusation against him. That nightmare has been realized for me," he said.
The bishop did not mention Rock by name. He said that a former student at Quigley Catholic High School in Baden, Pa. had accused him of forcibly kissing him in the school's chapel during the mid-1980s when Bishop Zubik was vice principal at the school.
"I emphatically state no such behavior occurred, nor any semblance of such behavior. The accusation is false, offensive and outrageous," Bishop Zubik said.
The accuser also claimed that a religious sister molested him and that his pastor violated the seal of confession, accusations which are "vehemently denied."
Rock also made his charges in two e-mails on Aug. 21 to his pastor. The pastor forwarded the contents of the e-mail to the bishop, who instructed the diocese's victim assistance coordinator Rita Flaherty to contact the accuser. The accuser did not reply to her inquiries.
Bishop Zubik ordered the information to be turned over to the local district attorney in accord with diocesan policy. He also directly informed the apostolic nunciature in Washington, D.C. in a Sept. 12 meeting. The independent Diocesan Review Board is now handling the accusation.
On Sept. 10, 2010 Flaherty responded to two previous allegations from the accuser, who said he had been assaulted by two priests, one in 1979 and one in 1989. The two priests had been dismissed from ministry.
The accuser was offered the chance to meet with the bishop, but he did not call for an appointment until May 2011.
Bishop Zubik and Flaherty met with Rock and his wife on June 1. Instead of discussing the allegations against the two priests, the man asked the bishop to intercede in a clearance process for parish volunteers because he had been deemed ineligible for liturgical service.
Bishop Zubik said he believed his accuser saw him as part of the process that denied his authorization to serve.
"I assure you that I am concerned about the welfare of my accuser. At the same time, I expect that my integrity and the integrity of the Church I lead will be respected as well," Bishop Zubik said at the Oct. 5 press conference."
He said he would pray for his accuser and he asked for prayers for both himself and Rock.

Serpins are the largest and most diverse family of serine protease inhibitors which are involved in a number of fundamental biological processes such as blood coagulation, complement activation, fibrinolysis, angiogenesis, inflammation and tumor suppression and are expressed in a cell-specific manner. Serpins are a group of proteins with similar structures that were first identified as a set of proteins able to inhibit proteases. The acronym serpin was originally coined because many serpins inhibit chymotrypsin-like serine proteases (serine protease inhibitors). Over 1000 serpins have been identified.
Serpin-I2, also known as myoepithelium-derived serine protease inhibitor, Pancreas-specific protein TSA2004, Peptidase inhibitor 14, PI14, SERPINI2 and MEPI, is a secreted protein which belongs to the serpin family. It is expressed in pancreas and adipose tissues. SERPINI2 deficiency directly results in the acinar cell apoptosis and malabsorption.

For those people who are partially bald and wish to cover the bald area hair transplants, hair weaving and hairpieces are the most commonly used solutions. The cost of covering bald areas by one of these methods can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars depending on a person's choice and financial means. Some of these commonly used bald area coverings require periodic care, which generally cost money.
Obviously a partially bald person without the financial means can not afford the luxury of such hair coverings. This person, therefore, has few options; he can attempt to use his own hair to cover the bald area, but generally most people do not have the ability to properly plan a hair style that will look good, and most attempts result in brushing the hair in one direction over the bald area, or he can allow his baldness to show.
The method here disclosed uses the remaining hair around the bald area on a person's head. The hair in this area must be extra long to cover the bald area. Generally the hair should be about 3 to 4 inches long.
To use the method of this invention, the hair around the bald area is divided into equal portions, generally three such sections will be used. The sections of hair used by this method generally will be to include equal sections on each side of the head and a third section on the back of the head.
The hair to be used as covering is brushed over the bald area in alternating folds using hair spray to hold the hair in place. The uppermost section can be styled to the person's personal teste.
It is the purpose of this invention to provide a method for covering bald areas using only the hair on a person's head.
Another object of this invention is to provide a method to fold hair in a prearranged design to cover a bald area.
Another object of this invention is to provide a simple method to cover bald areas operable by the user on his own head.
These and other objects will appear more fully from the specification below.
FIG. 1 is an illustration showing a full face view of person who is bald on top and having extra hair length on the sides;
FIG. 2 is an illustration of a side view of the person's head in FIG. 1 showing one side and the back of the head with extra long hair;
FIG. 3 is an illustration of a top view of the person's head in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an illustration of the person's head in FIG. 2 with the strands of hair from the back of the head pushed into place;
FIG. 5 is an illustration of the back of a person's head with strands from the right side of the head pushed into place; and
FIG. 6 is an illustration of the person's head in FIG. 3 with a completed hair style.
In the simplest form of the invention my method is directed to a person who is partially bald as the person illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 where there is sufficient hair to cover the bald area and by styling give an appearance of having a full head of hair. To begin with the subject's hair must be allowed to grow long enough to cover the bald area, generally about 3 to 4 inches. Of course, the length of the hair will depend on the size of the bald area, for example, a person who is front to back bald, as in the illustrations of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, will require more length than a person with a bald spot either in front or in back of the head. In addition, the particular hair style to be performed will dictate the required hair length.
The person's hair line 2, shown in FIGS. 1-3, and bald area 4 suggest that the hair should be divided into three equal sections, sides 6 and 8, and back 10, in starting the method of this invention. A person who has a bald spot in the back of the head could use four equal sections for best results, using my hair styling method. The second step is to take the extra length hair from back area 10 and brushing it forward as in FIG. 4, making sure to cover all of the bald area with hair.
By placing a hand over the hair now covering the bald area and brushing the extra length hair from either of the sides 6 or 8 the hair styling begins to cover the entire bald area. Care should be taken to brush the hair only as it lies over the hand to avoid messing up the hair under the hand. The hair should be arranged and styled at this step since it will soon be covered. To hold the hair in place, hair spray is now applied.
To complete the hair styling the hair from the side of the head either 6 or 8, whichever has not been used, is brushed over the bald area, making sure to cover the hair now covering the bald area with a hand. This top layer of hair is also styled and coated with hair spray. By lightly sweeping the hair into the desired style as the hair spray dries, an appearance of a full head of hair is given, as in FIG. 6.
To cover a bald spot the same procedure is followed, except that hair from in front of the bald spot can be used, if desired to brush toward the back of the head giving an appearance of a full head of hair.
While the above describes the preferred form of this invention, it is apparent that modifications thereof may occur to those skilled in the art, that will fall within the scope of the following claims.

On this day
There will be other goals today, but none, I think, so magnificent.
UPDATE: Avanti Azzurri! 2-1 and it probably should have been 5-1.

Off-topic but still on games.
VD, have you watched "Indie Game: The Movie"? It's pretty cool!
No video link?
How I read it: Ender will make you pay for that lucky shot and the accompanied gloating.
should there be an "A" in your celebratory yell?
It's nice to hear of someone of your advanced years still able to advance a polyhedron across a bit of plastic without losing total control of your bladder. Well done.
Holy smoke. Italy scores. That's the way to use your head.
Game on!! I'd rather watch ESPN than any, repeat any, stateside 24-7 news stations.
Wow, that was an awesome finish by Balotelli. He totally redeemed himself for the tournament.
Oh, and I bet Vox couldn't have duplicated that Balotelli goal...
The first one, no. The second one, no problem. I've scored better goals than that this year. His first touch was poor, his second one was good, and he put it nicely in the upper right when the keeper thought he'd go right.
Which one? If Vox's flick bounced off the ceiling fan, against the cardboard cut-out of Paul Krugman in drag, through the Disturbed pachinko machine and then into the goal, then maybe his claim is right. Otherwise, Balotelli alone may be ahead of the claim.
Times two!
Germany is dazed. However, I wouldn't put it past them to get their act together next half, or for Italy to collapse, due to the fact that they can't conceive of any prettier scoring opportunities than the ones they've already taken. Why ruin such a nice half, after all with an ugly victory?
I wondered if something like this might happen. Italy has the hoodoo on Germany.
Have THAT Ms. Merkel.
Told you Germany was overrated...
Vox, this is why people hate you...the goal of the tournament and you could have done better...love it.
There will be other goals today, but none, I think, so magnificent.. I mean, I believe you, but could you please describe in detail how your goal was more magnificent than Balotelli's?
But if Germany get more out of their wing play and spread the field, they can get back in the game...
Even the German Goalie was impressed. He didn't even move...
Any instant replays of your goals Vox?
Yeah, you blew your load waaaaaayyyy early...
Told you Germany was overrated...
No you didn't Anonymous. Anonymous did, and she said she's sick of you taking credit for her sports guesses.
There will be other goals today, but none, I think, so magnificent.. I mean, I believe you, but could you please describe in detail how your goal was more magnificent than Balotelli's?
In fairness, he did. I mean, come on, he scored a high arcing shot from a goal kick, right past the little plastic goalie. That is a neat trick, and, given the scoring from the last few Euro games, could have been predicted as better than the forthcoming ones.
After all, a kid I played against once on a vibration football field had a player who fielded a punt on his base while the game was set on high, and it stayed on his foot all the way for 100+ yard touchdown. It was more impressive than, say, Walter Payton's performance touchdowns in the Super Bowl.
What it was not more impressive than James Harrison's, however.
Are the fans singing to the tune of "Pop Goes the World"?
Daniel Fair enough, he did. I still maintain he shot his wad early. No way did he know that Balotelli would score like that...
Told you Germany was overrated...
No you didn't Anonymous. Anonymous did, and she said she's sick of you taking credit for her sports guesses.
She's a tart; pay no attention to her!
Maybe Germany should have started reus and klose. It seems to be a better team with them there.
And, wow the real Balotelli comes back with a fizzling vengeance.
I'm loving the crowd shots. Italy, hotties, Germany, 3 fags.
Di Natali...nice finish...not.
Germany can't even attack anymore. Every time they do, they get as firmly countered as the bar in the Coyote Ugly Saloon. It's hopeless.
Well actually, Italy haven't scored at all.
The score was Italy: 0. Germany: 0. Turkey: 1. Ghana: 2.
I wanted to strangle Marcesi when he didn't make that pass to a wide open di Natale sitting in front of an empty net then missed the shot. But then di Natale showed why Balotelli is starting; it's okay to have the goalie make the save on a one-on-one, but to slow down like that and miss the target entirely? Come on.
Well, now, Germany's a ghana for sure. That was a beatdown.
"But then di Natale showed why Balotelli is starting; it's okay to have the goalie make the save on a one-on-one, but to slow down like that and miss the target entirely? Come on."
Riiight, because Balotelli has not had any of those moments in this tournament. The only difference is that he held on to it so long that he did not even get a shot off! Still, fair play to him for his goals today...
Italy vs Spain for the championship! I've spent a good deal of time in both countries, and love them both to death, but come on, "Bail-Out Bowl 2012", you can't make this stuff up!
Isn't soccer a girl sport? :)
Good game today. Spain will destroy Italy. And by destroy I mean 1-nil.
BTW, what's up with the creepy, pro-vibrancy speeches before the kickoff?
Now I read that Russia and Spains soccer federations were fined over supposed racist behavior by fans. WTH is up with that? And how is it the teams fault?
I'd like to know how an "Italian Soccer team" has an African who scored two goals today?
How is that an "Italian" soccer team?
What are all these Africans on European sports teams for? Doesn't Africa have its own soccer teams?
I would like to declare the victory of Italy NULL AND VOID because they were scored by a guy whose origins are not Italian at all.
I thought the pisan just had a really good tan. I mean, did you see his abs when he took off his shirt? That was straight up Jersey shore guido. =(: *P
W.LinsayWheeler So our Olympic team composed of mainly negros doesn't count?
Before Eisenhower integrated the military---NO European in their right mind would play sports with a Negroe. It is beneath them. It is so bad that now a Negroe leads the most powerful nation on earth. How disgusting is that? It just shows the total emasculation of the European man.
No negroe is my equal.
In Ancient Greece, the Olympics were open ONLY to other Greeks. It would be beneath the dignity of a Greek to compete with any barbarian.
Europeans need to compete with other Europeans. Sports of a country is about the competition between equals, between kinsmen. Negroes are not Europeans and they are not our equals in anything.
For over 170 years European Americans played in segregated sports. That is NORMAL behavior! That is righteousness. What goes on now is UNrighteousness, abnormal, idiotic behavior.
Germany was overrated, just like Italy was underrated going into this match. I credit the Italian defense for this, because they totally stunned the German attack which initially looked solid. Once they realized the Italian defense was playing at full throttle, they seemed to react like a confused schoolyard bully when he gets punched by a scrawny kid. That is, they began to falter in their passing game, while their defense plum evaporated. This game should have been 4-1, although the Germans did miss some bizarre chances themselves.
If Italy can manage this intensity against Spain, the Azzuri will take the Euro title. Won't be as easy because the Spaniards understand the concept of rapid-reaction defense. Their achilles heel is their relative comfort with seeking 1-0 victories. That is to say, if Italy manages an initial banzai 2-0 start as they did against Germany, Spain will be placed outside their comfort zone early.
Good final matchup. Just hope it doesn't end in PK shootout. Can't stand that system.
For over 170 years European Americans played in segregated sports. That is NORMAL behavior!

AN operation to change a little girl's life has become tantalisingly close, with one final push needed to raise the necessary money.
The surgery that would enable four-year-old Niamh Tarran, who has cerebral palsy, to walk is advised to be carried out before children are five-years-old, before they can form bad habits and to prevent the development of deformities.
So far an amazing £48,000 has been raised, through donations and fundraising events, meaning that Niamh's mother Emma Farrugia is hoping that the last £12,000 can be raised before Niamh's fifth birthday in December.
Niamh had a very difficult first year of life, being born prematurely after her twin sister died in the womb. She spent the first three months of life in hospital, fighting through contracting MRSA and needing an operation to have a shunt implanted due to hydrocephalus. At 18 months she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
Now in nursery school, Niamh is a popular and pleasant little girl, who would like nothing more than to be able to sit safely and stand and walk unaided.
Blown away by the generosity that people have so far shown in rallying around her daughter, Emma is hoping that a final swell in fundraising efforts will enable them travel to St Louis, Missouri for the Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy procedure that would see Niamh able to walk independently.
She described how she would love for Niamh to start school in September, able to join in with the other children.
Emma, 26, of Brock Street, Barry said: "At school she sees all the other children on their bikes and Niamh is just in her walker.
"Or like last weekend, we went to Cosmeston Park when the weather was nice and we can't stay long because it's so busy and Niamh has to crawl on the floor.
"She's missing a part of her childhood. If she could walk independently it would just change her life."
An incredible amount of fundraising has taken place so far, but the total has plateaued since around last summer.
Taking note of this, family friend Michelle Hunt hopes to kickstart events in Barry with an aerobathon next week.
With help from friend Carys Ogden and Cardio Core gym owner Sarah Cayton, Michelle is seekign to reignite the Niamh Needs To Walk cause.
"It was so much in the public eye before," she said. "But lately I haven't seen anything about it.
"Niamh is a lovely little girl who should be running around things other four-year-olds take for granted."
Fellow aerobathon organiser Carys Ogden said that she hopes the fact the target of £12,000 seems so achievable will inspire people to donate, even if they can't get to a fundraiser.
"If everyone in Barry donated £1 she could go," she said.
The Cardio Core fundraising event, which is on Palmersville Business Centre, Palmerston Road, is a four hour aerobic session of fitness and fun with all welcome to participate on Saturday, March 29 11am to 3pm.
There will also be a prize raffle and DJ Jordan Harrison performing on the day. Entry is £10.
