Surprise, surprise. Chivas USA goalkeeper Dan Kennedy is nominated for MLS Save of the Week for one of his many heroics in last Sunday's game vs LA Galaxy. Although the final score doesn't reflect the amazing job Kennedy did in the game, his save in the 37th minute to a Landon Donovan header was picked as a nominee. So far in the season, Kennedy has made 75 saves, and currently maintains 1.19 goals against average, keeping him among the top three goalkeepers in the league. Aside from his nod, Kennedy was also named to MLSsoccer.com's Team of the Week for Week 23.
Last time we checked, that should be good for a call-up to the United States National Team (*cough* Jürgen Klinsmann *cough*)
Make sure to cast your vote for Dan Kennedy now and invite all your friends to vote for him; poll closes this Thursday, August 16 at 11:59 p.m. Click here to vote now
It's the break of dawn; the sun is just coming up when you check your phone or computer and BAM! Chivas USA trades midfielder Blair Gavin to New England Revolution in exchange for attacking midfielder Shalrie Joseph. You rub your eyes to make sure you read it right. Did General Manager Jose Domene sleep last night? Yeah, we don't think so either.
But the reality is there. Former Revolution captain Shalrie Joseph is our new Goat. The 34 year-old Grenada born midfielder has been with Major League Soccer since 2003, disputing 261 games (254 starts), notching 37 goals and 34 assists. Aside from his club experience, Joseph has also been key part of his country's national team, disputing 30 games and scoring three goals.
We welcome Shalrie Joseph to the Red-and-White and bid farewell and good luck to the man with our favorite mustache, Blair Gavin.
By the way, if you have a Twitter account, you can now follow him at @ShalrieJoseph21.
Does Dan Kennedy ever stop? Let's hope he doesn't. Once again, the Chivas USA Goalkeeper is nominated for MLS Save of the Week! In the Red-and-White's last match vs Portland Timbers, Kennedy earned his seventh shutout of the season, helping the team climb in the standings and get closer to playoff contention.
In last Saturday's match against the Timbers, Kennedy made six amazing saves, but the save that earned him a nomination for Save of the Week came in the 80th minute as Kris Boyd took a long-distance shot that Kennedy was able to take out for a corner kick.
But don't take our word for it; check out the nominees and show Dan Kennedy some love! Vote for him now for MLS Save of the Week by clicking here!
It's been a long two weeks for Chivas USA Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy. After earning his sixth shutout of the season in the 1-0 win over Portland Timbers in a midweek match, Kennedy prepared for the second SuperClásico of the season before heading to Philadelphia for the MLS All-Star Game vs Chelsea. The 30-year old keeper then returned to the West Coast to prepare for the team's final match vs Portland Timbers last Saturday at Jeld-Wen Field. After Danny Califf's lone goal in the 68th minute of the match that gave the team the final 1-0 victory, Kennedy earned his seventh shutout of the season, making 67 saves this season and currently holds a 1.05 goals against average.
Take a look at one of his best saves from last Saturday's game. Candidate for MLS Save of the Week? Let us know!
Chivas USA's own goalkeeper Dan Kennedy will participate in tonight's 2012 MLS All-Star game against English Premier League's and FA Cup Champion Chelsea FC at 5:30 p.m. PT in PPL Park in Philadelphia. Dan received his first call-up to the All-Star Team on Sunday, July 15, when Head Coach Ben Olsen selected the Yorba Linda native. The match will be televised live on ESPN2 and Telefutura.
So far in the season, Dan has made 61 saves for the Red-and-White and has 1.11 goals against average, maintaining himself among the top five goalkeepers in the league.
On behalf of everyone at Chivas USA, good luck Dan!
Even though last Saturday's loss in the second SuperClásico of the season was tough, there is somewhat of a bright side: midfielder Paolo Cardozo's goal against his old club, and first ever MLS goal is now nominated for MLS' Goal of the Week.
Cardozo's goal came just in the 52nd minute when the Red-and-White were down 2-0. Midfielder Ryan Smith went past three Galaxy defenders to give the pass to the Uruguayan who was just at the 18-yard line, and struck a shot that goalkeeper Josh Saunders could not stop.
Re-live Cardozo's goal then vote for Cardozo's goal by clicking here, or text the code 'G5' to 22442.
After being named to the 2012 MLS All-Star Team, Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy's schedule has turned quite the busy one. The Yorba Linda, California native must now prepare for a busy schedule ahead: tomorrow's match vs Portland Timbers, Saturday's second SuperClásico of the Year, his birthday the following day (he wants to celebrate it with a win on Saturday), then flying out to Philadelphia to prepare for Wednesday's MLS All-Star game vs FA Cup Champion Chelsea FC. Before going into all the chaos, Dan spoke to FS West about his All-Star selection at yesterday's Dodger game at Dodgers Stadium. Check out what the MLS All-Star had to say:
Después de una ausencia de las canchas, el delantero colombiano Jose Correa regreso con Chivas USA en el partido de anoche ante Charlotte Eagles y anotó los dos goles que le dio la victoria de 2-1 en los cuartos de final de la Copa Abierta de los Estados Unidos en Titan Stadium. Los rojiblancos ahora avanzaran a la siguiente ronda para enfrentar a Seattle Sounders en la semifinal el 10 de julio en Seattle.
And he's at it again! Dan Kennedy has been nominated for this week's MLS Save of the Week. Although his heroics saved Chivas USA on multiple occasions in the past three games, Dan's save vs FC Dallas has earned him a nod. Check out his save:

Ciarán Hinds Movies
An Irish actor of charisma and talent,
Ciarán Hinds
has applied his skills to screen, stage, and television. A towering, burly man whose jagged features make him a natural for playing strong, silent types,
has won respect and recognition from critics and drooling women alike.
Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on February 9, 1953,
was the fifth child of a doctor and an amateur actress. He attended Belfast's Queen's University for a year with an eye toward studying law, but he left to pursue acting. After studying at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art,
found employment with the Glasgow Citizens Company, where he made his professional debut playing the back end of a horse in Cinderella. He acted with the company for the better part of the next decade, splitting his time between Glasgow and Ireland. In 1987, he received one of his first big breaks, at the hands of esteemed director
Peter Brook
, who selected him as a member of his Paris-based theatrical company; the actor was soon performing all over the globe.
made his film debut in
John Boorman
's 1981
, but he did not make another movie until 1989. That year, he appeared in a supporting role in
Peter Greenaway
's stylishly horrifying
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
. After sharing the screen with actors like
Richard Bohringer
Tim Roth
, and
Helen Mirren
went on to make
December Bride
the next year, and in 1993 he won acclaim for his performance in the made-for-TV
. Two years later,
began to win recognition outside of the U.K., first for his small role as a university professor in the popular
Circle of Friends
and then for his more sizable performance in
Roger Michell
's acclaimed adaptation of
Jane Austen
. As Captain Frederick Wentworth, captor of heroine Anne Elliot's repressed affections,
caused many an audience member to wonder where he had been for so long, and, more important, when and where he would reappear. When was the following year and where was
Some Mother's Son
, a drama based on a 1981 hunger strike in a Belfast prison.
had a supporting role in the film, which reunited him with
, but the next year he had a more substantial part in
Gillian Armstrong
Oscar and Lucinda
, in which he played a reverend. That character was a far cry from his next role, a man trapped in the Irish conflict in 1970s Belfast in
Titanic Town
(1998). In 1999,
could be seen in
Chris Menges
The Lost Son
Daniel Auteuil
Bruce Greenwood
, and
Natassja Kinski
, and in Il Tempo Dell'Amore, which was shown at that year's Toronto Film Festival.
The new millennium seemed to bring about something of a re-birth for
' enduring career, with featured roles in such widely-seen films as The Sum of All Fears, The Road to Perdition, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, and The Phantom of the Opera hinting that Hollywood may have finally grown savvy to the impressive talents of the physically-imposing actor. Of course it wasn't all Hollywood glamor, with roles in such limited-release but critically-praised independents as The Weight of Water and Veronica Guerin, and Calendar Girls serving well to help
balance out the big-budget blockbusters. In 2006
would step into the sandals of no less that Julius Caesar when he essayed the role of the notorious Roman general in HBO's lavish historical drama Rome, with a subsequent role in director Steven Spielberg's 2005 drama Munich preceding a turn as a hard-charging FBI agent in Michael Mann's high-octane action thriller Miamy Vice in 2006. In 2007 he played the closest associate of oil tycoon Daniel Plainview in Paul Thomas Anderson' Oscar-winning There Will Be Blood, and appeared in Margot at the Wedding. He was in Todd Solondz's sort-of sequel to Happiness, Life During Wartime, and was prominent in the well-reviewed 2011 adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. He joined the cast of Harry Potter in that successful series' final entry, and a very busy 2012 found him with major roles in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, The Woman in Black, and providing a voice in the infamous box-office flop John Carter.
In addition to his screen work,
has kept busy both on television and the stage. On the small screen, he has appeared in series like
Prime Suspect 3
A Dark Adapted Eye
Jane Eyre
(1997), and
(also 1997). On the stage,
has taken part in a number of productions, perhaps most notably the London and Broadway productions of
Patrick Marber
's Closer in 1998 and 1999. As part of an ensemble cast including
Natasha Richardson
Rupert Graves
, and
Anna Friel
won raves for his work, further establishing himself as an actor of international acclaim. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson takes the helm for this adaptation of John Le Carré's novel about an ex-British agent who emerges from retirement to expose a mole in MI6. England, 1973: British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) head Control (John Hurt) and his top-ranking lieutenant George Smiley (Gary Oldman) are both forced into retirement after a mission involving respected secret agent Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong) turns unexpectedly deadly. As the Cold War continues to escalate, suspicions of a Soviet double agent begin to grow within SIS. Subsequently summoned by Undersecretary Oliver Lacon (Simon McBurney), Smiley is secretly reemployed by the SIS in order to root out the double agent suspected of sharing top-secret British intelligence with the Soviets. Meanwhile, as Smiley and his new partner Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch) begin systematically examining all of the official missions and records involving MI6, the veteran spy can't help but recall an encounter he once had with Karla, a dangerous Russian operative, years prior. At first, uncovering the identity of the infiltrator seems nearly impossible. Smiley and Guillam get a big break, however, when undercover agent Ricki Tarr (Tom Hardy) reveals that he has fallen for a mysterious woman in Turkey named Irina (Svetlana Khodchenkova), who may have a crucial lead. Later, upon learning that Control had comprised a list of five possible suspects, code-named Tinker (Toby Jones), Tailor (Colin Firth), Soldier (Ciarán Hinds), Poor Man (David Dencik), and Beggar Man -- none other than Smiley himself -- the investigation begins to heat up again. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this gritty spy thriller, Helen Mirren plays a retired Mossad agent named Rachel. Once upon a time, Rachel was part of a celebrated trio of secret agents who tracked down a Nazi war criminal in East Berlin in 1966 -- an incident so applauded in history, that now, three decades later, her own daughter has just published a book about the exploits. But one of Rachel's former partners in espionage, David (Ciarán Hinds), seems less than reverent about his memory of the time, and he proves his feelings with a decision that sends Rachel and her other former partner, Stephan (Tom Wilkinson), on a forced revisit through time. For 30 years, Rachel has been living one truth, but now, as the past collides with the present, a new and deadly story begins to emerge. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Michael Farr (Ciarán Hinds of Munich) is a depressed widower who teaches shop in the small seaside town of Cobh, in County Cork, Ireland, where he lives with his two children.

It's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys in this slick, densely plotted thriller from France. Cash (Jean Dujardin) is a suave and well-mannered outlaw who specializes in grand-scale heists that turn on carefully constructed confidence games as much as muscle. When Cash's brother and partner in crime Solal (Clovis Cornillac) is killed by members of a rival outfit who try to force their way into a carefully planned heist, Cash assembles a new crew to rob the gunmen for their ill-gotten gains. Cash joins forces with Maxime Dubreuil (Jean Reno), a gifted veteran thief who brings along his beautiful protégé Garance (Alice Taglioni). As Cash, Maxime and Garance map out plans for the robbery of a lifetime, they're joined by Julia (Valeria Golino), a beautiful woman with a full compliment of criminal skills. But what they don't know is that Julia is actually an undercover police officer who is looking to shut down Cash's operation from the inside. Cash was written and directed by Eric Besnard; it was his second feature as director after establishing himself as one of France's leading screenwriters. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A late-'30s-era London governess hired to work in the home of a high-profile nightclub chanteuse gets a taste of the good life when she is assigned the task of sorting out the singer's many unseemly affairs in a period comedy starring Frances McDormand and adapted from the novel by Winifred Watson. Unfairly and unceremoniously dismissed from her latest position without so much as a penny of severance pay, Miss Guinevere Pettigrew (McDormand) realizes that in order to stay financially afloat she'll need to find a new job fast. Though she has worn out her welcome at the unemployment office due to her propensity to loose jobs, she's determined to seize the day and keep an open mind. Before she's booted from the office, she takes note of a job opening that is a little outside of her experience, but decides to pursue it, pretending she is the prospective employee the office was planning to recommend. Becoming a "social secretary" may not be exactly what Miss Pettigrew had in mind when the time came to seek out a new job, yet she hopes that her enthusiasm will offset her inexperience and throws caution to the wind.
Upon arriving at the penthouse of up-and-coming American entertainer Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams), the unassuming Miss Pettigrew becomes instantly swept up in the high-society milieu. But serving as social secretary to one of the busiest women in the city is no easy task, and before the day is over, Miss Pettigrew and her new charge will both learn a thing or two about life and love. Now, as Miss Pettigrew helps Delysia make informed career decisions and choose between one of three potential suitors, her own attraction to a handsome clothing designer named Joe (Ciarán Hands) could prove her undoing. Joe's current fiancée, Edythe (Shirley Henderson), is an insolent fashion maven with little patience for those she deems incompetent or unworthy of the spotlight, and she currently has her targets locked onto a certain social secretary who doesn't yet grasp the complex social mechanisms of the high-society lifestyle. Simon Beaufoy and David Magee co-author a screenplay directed by Bharat Nalluri. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A diminutive mouse strives to make a mammoth change in his troubled kingdom in this adaptation of author Kate DiCamillo's Newbery Medal-winning children's book. A long time ago, in the distant kingdom of Dor, a horrible accident broke the heart of the king, left a beautiful princess crestfallen, and filled the townspeople with despair. As the sun disappeared from the sky and the flowers were drained of color, the laughter slowly ceased in this once-magical land. It was into this darkened world that a tiny mouse named Despereaux Tilling was born, and while this virtuous little rodent may have been short in stature, his bravery was ultimately too big for such a small world to contain. An unlikely hero with oversized ears and a discernible wheeze, Despereaux was taken with tales of chivalry, and longed to one day become a noble figure among his people. Sometimes in order to realize their true destiny, heroes must first experience great hardship, however, and when Despereaux fails to adhere to the rigid rules of his society, he is banished from Dor.
Later, while exploring the outer realms, the lonely Despereaux is joined by a kindhearted rat named Roscuro. Roscuro, too, has been excommunicated from his homeland, and still cannot stand to look into a mirror lest he be reminded of his painful past. Later, as Despereaux embarks on a treacherous quest to rescue the endangered Princess Pea, Roscuro is set down the path of self-destruction after receiving a painful rejection from his highness. Now, on their way to realizing their extraordinary destinies, these two unlikely heroes will face off against the malevolent leader of the sewer rats, who is plotting revenge on humans from his subterranean kingdom; befriend a common serving girl who longs to become princess; and meet a whole host of colorful characters that they will never forget. Matthew Broderick, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Watson, and Tracey Ullman lead a powerhouse cast in this animated feature produced by Gary Ross and Allison Thomas. Also lending voices to the project are Sigourney Weaver, Kevin Kline, Stanley Tucci, William H. Macy, and Christopher Lloyd. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Add There Will Be Blood to top of Queue
Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson steps outside his contemporary world of dysfunctional Angelenos to explore a very different dysfunctional man -- an oil pioneer whose trailblazing spirit is equaled only by his murderous ambition. There Will Be Blood is Anderson's loose adaptation of the novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair, and it focuses its attentions on Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), a miner who happens upon black gold during a disastrous excavation that ends in a broken leg. Pulling himself up from the bowels of the earth, both literally and metaphorically, Plainview embarks on a systematic and steadfast approach to mastering the oil business. Using plain-spoken and straightforward language, Plainview launches a campaign to convince small-town property owners they should let him drill their land. Without him, they won't have the equipment to access the profit beneath their feet. He builds an empire this way -- and gradually becomes obsessed with the intrinsic value of power, growing increasingly irascible and paranoid in the process. Plainview meets his match in Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), a teenage preacher in the small California town of Little Boston, whose brother tipped Plainview off to the town's plentiful supply of untapped oil. To fully reap the benefits of the land, Plainview must suffer the opposing whims of this "prophet," whose legitimacy is questionable at best. And it's unclear if either man is prepared to pay the humiliating price the other wants to exact. There Will Be Blood features an anachronistic soundtrack by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, and it was shot in the same town where the James Dean epic Giant was filmed. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

With Hallam Foe, British director Peter MacKenzie and scripter Ed Whitmore adapt the 2002 novel of the same name, a quirky, bittersweet, coming-of-age psychodrama by Peter Jinks. The titular character is the 17-year-old son (Jamie Bell) of a wealthy Scottish businessman (Ciarán Hinds). Still rattled by the death of his mom (who drowned in a nearby loch), Hallam retreats into a deep-seated fantasy world. He harbors amorous feelings for his new stepmother, Verity (Claire Forlani), until he gradually concludes that she murdered his biological mother. Hallam nonetheless lets himself be seduced into an affair with Verity, and is so repulsed by this transpiration that he flees to Edinburgh. His life turns a corner, however, when he spots -- and instantly becomes infatuated with -- Kate (Sophia Myles), a local girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to his mother. After he talks her into giving him a routine job in the kitchen of the hotel that she manages, they become romantically involved, ever so gradually, which spells trouble for Hallam's emotional state by thoroughly overwhelming and confusing him -- and deeper trouble still when Kate's married lover (Jamie Sives) discovers that Hallam has been spying diligently on Kate from his perch in a nearby bell tower. Ewen Bremner co-stars as the bellhop supervisor at the hotel. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Australian-born Whale Rider sensation and Oscar nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes stars opposite Oscar Isaac in Lords of Dogtown director Catherine Hardwicke's dramatic account of the Annunciation, and the arduous journey of Mary and Joseph to give birth to baby Jesus. House of Sand and Fog's Shohreh Aghdashloo co-stars in a film with a screenplay by The Rookie and Finding Forrester scribe Mike Rich. Filmed in the village of Matera, Italy (a locale that has remained virtually untouched by modern progress and also served as the backdrop for Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ), and Quarzazate, Morocco, former production designer Hardwicke's film strives for authenticity in telling the Bible's most treasured tale. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

One man's role in the long battle to outlaw slavery in the United Kingdom sets the stage for this historical drama from director Michael Apted. In 1784, 21-year-old William Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd) was elected to the British House of Commons, and soon established himself as a politician with a conscience. Several years later, his close friend William Pitt (Benedict Cumberbatch) became prime minister, and together they made a bold plan to introduce a bill banning slavery before the English legislature. Wilberforce was aided by anti-slavery activists Olaudah Equiano (Youssou N'Dour) and Thomas Clarkson (Rufus Sewell); however, pro-slavery hard-liners Lord Tarleton (Ciarán Hinds) and the Duke of Clarence (Toby Jones) spearheaded a hard-fought opposition to the legislation, and despite Wilberforce's best efforts, his bill went down in defeat. In 1797, Wilberforce left politics due to poor health and a battered spirit; staying at the country home of his friends Henry and Marianne Thornton (Nicholas Farrell and Sylvestra Le Touzel), he became acquainted with Barbara Spooner (Romola Garai), a beautiful woman with progressive views. Spooner became deeply infatuated with Wilberforce, and she encouraged him not to give up on his noble goals; with her help, Wilberforce launched a second campaign to persuade England's lawmakers to end the slave trade. Amazing Grace made its North American premiere as the closing-night gala attraction at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Deliverance and Tailor of Panama director John Boorman returns to the director's chair for this tale of a hawkish businessman who slowly finds his life being taken over by the twin brother he never knew he had. Liam O'Leary (Brendan Gleeson) is a no-nonsense real-estate developer who isn't above greasing the politician's wheels a bit to get the permits he needs. His 20-year marriage to Jane (Kim Cattrall) has been stale for over a decade, and his adolescent son, Connor (Brian Gleeson), has most recently taken to communism as a means of showcasing his rebellious streak. Though Liam still dotes on his aging mother (Moira Deady), it's plain to see that his sister, Oona (Sinéad Cusack), is the favored child in the family. One day, stuck in traffic on the way home from work and frustrated at his inability to obtain planning permission for a multi-million pound stadium, Liam is shocked to see his spitting image approach his car and begin cleaning the windshield while begging for change. Now, after discovering that he was not only adopted but has an identical twin as well, Liam finds his life rapidly being taken over by a cunning doppelganger who has had enough of life on the streets, and has finally found a means of turning his luck around by simply stepping into the shoes of his more successful counterpart. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Writer and director Michael Mann updates the groundbreaking television crime series he created in the 1980s with this stylish thriller. Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) and Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) are two police detectives working undercover in Florida; Tubbs is smart, cool, and resourceful, while Crockett has his own way of doing things, though he stays close enough to the rules to stay out of trouble. Their latest assignment is to get the goods on Arcangel de Jesus Montoya (Luis Tosar), a local drug kingpin whose men are believed to be responsible for a handful of recent murders. In order to infiltrate Montoya's operation, Tubbs and Crockett pose as powerboat racers willing to use their talents to pilot drug-smuggling ships for the right price. The detectives' ruse works, but as they dig deeper into Montoya's inner circle, they become involved in a dangerous operation that will take them to Haiti and Cuba, where neither the Miami Police Force nor the United States government can help them if things go wrong. Crockett also begins walking a risky path when he begins an affair with Isabella (Gong Li), a woman high up in Montoya's organization. Miami Vice marked Michael Mann's third consecutive directorial effort with Jamie Foxx after Ali and Collateral. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Much as Steven Spielberg followed 1993's special-effects blockbuster Jurassic Park with a far more downbeat and personal project later the same year, Schindler's List, in 2005 after tearing up the box office with War of the Worlds the director closed out the year with a powerful and thoughtful drama about the human costs of international terrorism. The 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany, were supposed to be a peaceful gathering of outstanding athletes from around the world, but on September 5, the games took a sinister turn when eight masked Palestinian terrorists invaded the Olympic village, killing two Israeli athletes and abducting nine others. The kidnappers demanded safe passage out of Germany in addition to the release of Arab prisoners in Israeli and German prisons, but when they arrived at the Munich airport they were met by German police and military forces, and in the melee that followed, all nine hostages were killed. In the wake of the killings, the Israeli government gave Mossad, the nation's intelligence agency, a special assignment -- to track down and eliminate the Palestinians responsible for the death of the Israeli athletes. A young and idealistic Mossad agent (Eric Bana) is assigned to the four-man unit created to wipe out the Olympic terrorists, but while he believes in serving his country, as their bloody work goes on he begins to buckle under the weight of his work and wonders if he can morally justify his nation's acts of revenge. Munich also stars Geoffrey Rush, Daniel Craig, Mathieu Kassovitz, and Ciarán Hinds. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The first season of the lush, lavish and frequently lewd and lascivious British historical drama Rome covers the years 52 to 44BCE, beginning with the return of Julius Caesar (Ciaran Hinds) from the Gallic wars and ending with the fateful "Ides of March". Though returning to a hero's welcome, Caesar realizes that he's stepping into a snake pit of deceit and corruption. The Patrician ruling class, worried that Caesar will make himself emperor and abolish the Republic, intend to strip him of his power. His scheming niece Atia (Polly Walker) is already undercutting her uncle by forcing her daughter Octavia (Kerry Condon) to marry Caesar's most influential nemesis, the aging Pompey (Kenneth Cranham). Playing one side against the other to keep Caesar at bay, Pompey proves so effective that Caesar must ask his friend Marc Antony (James Purefoy) to help him vanquish his foes, even if it means all-out civil war. Meanwhile, a pair of humble soldier, the virtuous family man Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and the hedonistic Pullo (Ray Stevenson), simply try to stay out of everyone's way and survive--but instead find themselves at Ground Zero of virtually every major historical turning point during the series' turbulent eight-year timespan. Pullo in particular spends much of his time squeaking out of one death-trap after another, somehow managing to enrich or aggrandize himself without even trying. His main contribution during Season One consists of taking Atia's callow son Octavian (Max Pirkis) under his wing, teaching the boy the ways of warfare and women. Eventually Octavian will emerge as the greatest threat against the pro-Caesar forces of Antony after Caesar's assassination--and thus the redoubtable Pullo has once more unwittingly altered the course of history. Not only was Rome an international success during its first season on the air, but the series also garnered an Emmy award for its American run on HBO. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jonjo & Mickybo
Terry Loane's period comedy-drama Jonjo and Mickybo (also released under the title Mickybo and Me) unravels in Belfast, Ireland circa 1970, at the outset of the violence that began to erupt at that time and plagued the country for decades. It observes the allegorical friendship that develops between two young boys living on radically opposed sides of the city: Micky Boyle (nicknamed Mickybo and played by John Joe McNeill) - a consummate troublemaker and one child of many in a large Catholic family - and Johnjo (Niall Wright), an only child torn between the attentions of his mother and his maritally unfaithful father. The two boys hatch a plot to swipe a gun and go on the lam to Australia, as outlaws

Deck Description:
The idea of an Inzecter deck is to use the combo between the 3 Inzecters: Hornet, Centipede, and Damsel. With Hornet in Graveyard or Hand, the card can be equipped onto Centipede or Damsel, which can be used to then either use effect to destroy a card, or give boost to special summon the other Inzecters for Exceeds summon. Ally Genex Birdman (and in some version, Effect Veiler) is used as the Tuner for Synchro (both are great Tuners for decks without one).
Since the main site is finally down (not that anyone goes there), I will have to write my ORCS review on my Tumblr blog. So, here is my first try finally using this blog to do something productive.
Since I have the time right now, may as well finish up a review. Also, my first version of half net-decked Inzecter in the next post.
Card Trends and theme:
As the 7th set of Series 7, the set does not have the usual "Dark" theme as like previous 4 series. However, the pack continue the ZeXaL revolution where Synchro is a long gone thing.
Archetype wise, this set introduced Inzecter series, which is a Kamen Rider/Dragunity Insects. Anime-related wise, the set includes some cards from Yuma, Ryoga, Kaito, Astral, and others. I'm not sure about the exact count for anime card, but from my knowledge there are 33 of them (less than half…an OK amount). The anime series introduced in this set includes Photon and the Armored Ninjas. The other themes include in the set included Evoldo/Evoldar from PHSW, Zenmai (Spring), other Ninjas, and a Mist Valley card. This time up, there is a Fusion monster, something that had not been in a set for a while.
Deck Types:
Here are some of the new deck types that I think people could create after this set, competitive or not.
- Inzecter (and already Tier 1.5 at this moment)
- Armored Ninja/Ninja
- Photon
For deck types that get boosts:
- Ninja
- Rabbit Jurac/Evoldo (?)
- Ninja
- Dragon
- Zenmai (Mainspring)
Useful cards :
As usual, I will write down a list of cards that I think that can help some deck. Again, this list merely means that you should at least look at the card and somehow find space for it…or at least try….
- Gagaga Girl (the card is still slow and pretty weak right now…until support comes)
- Sharktopus (it's OK)
- Inzecter Hornet (this card is absolutely broken)
- Inzecter Centipede/Inzecter Damsel (they are essentially same cards anyway)
- Zenmai Nezumi (this card is limitless on what it can do?)
- Zenmai Honey
- Evoldo Casineria (quick Exceeds)
- Ninja Master HANZO (the true Ninja)
- Masked Ninja - Ebisu (for the sake of random association with Goegoe)
- Trans Demon (another Dark World fan)
- Divine Dragon Apocalypse (I will ask Spikes how it can recycle things)
- Armored Ninja Blade Heart (it's OK…)
- No. 12 Armored Ninja Crimson Shadow (slow…but good protection)
- Mainspring Carrier Zenmighty (finally an Exceeds that boost the theme)
- Evolkaiser Sorde
- Armored Ninjitsu Gold Conversion (pretty easy draw)
- Armor Blast
- Compulsory Evolution
- Dicyclone
- Spiral Style Spring
- Compulsory Degeneration (not necessary degeneration since low level monsters are much more useful than before)
- Armored Ninjitsu Lost Mist
- Ninjitsu - Art of Supertransformation (removal AND special summon?)
- Fire Sealing Technique (I don't think Laval deck like this card, however)
Now, of course, my choice of worst card in the set…and it is?
- Big Revolution Reversal: This card is not bad, if not there is something called "Starlight Road".
- A lot of other cards…cards like [A Wish to the Star] is super limited in use, so is [Dark Genocide Cutter]
Last word: The set power is a little bit on the "meh" side usual. Of course, the set already created a Tier 1.5 Inzecter, but it is more as result of a pretty "broken" combo rather than the theme itself is good. The Evoldo support is still super "meh", so is the unthemeness of Yuma's card, make me sometimes appreciate that E-Hero is actually related to each other somehow. At last, I want to break Gagaga duo badly :).

January 28 – Happy Birthday Lyn Lary
When Lyn Lary joined the Yankees during his rookie season of 1929, Miller Huggins was still the Manager and Leo Durocher was New York's starting shortstop. Huggins liked Durocher's tough take no prisoners attitude, which he felt made up for the fact that Leo was not a very good hitter. Huggins tragically died from an eye infection during that 1929 season and when veteran Yankee pitcher Bob Shawkey was given the Skipper's job in 1930, the much better-hitting Lary replaced Durocher as New York's starting shortstop. In 1931, this native of Armona, CA had a terrific year, scoring 100 runs and driving in 107. That RBI number remains the single-season record for New York shortstops. But Lary had some bad moments that season as well, none worse than the time he cost Lou Gehrig sole possession of the 1931 home run title. That happened in an early season game against the Senators, in Washington. The Iron Horse hit a towering fly ball over the center field wall that caromed off the concrete bleachers and bounced back onto the field. Lary was on first base when Gehrig hit the ball and after rounding second with his head down, Lary looked up in time to see the Senator center fielder catch the ball as it bounced back on the field. Thinking it was a fly out and also thinking he could not back to first in time to avoid the double play, Lary just ran straight back into the Yankee dugout. He was ruled out, the Yankees lost two runs and Gehrig was also ruled out and credited with a triple instead of a home run. Lou ended up tied for the league lead in home runs that year with teammate Babe Ruth. Each had 46. Perhaps it was that sort of lackadaisical play that got Lary pushed out of his starting job by a young Frank Crosetti in 1932. He was eventually sent to the Red Sox. He played for six different clubs during the next seven seasons. In 1936, while playing with the Browns, his 37 stolen bases were tops in the American League. He retired after the 1940 season with 1,239 hits and a .269 lifetime average over a 12-year career.
Lary shares his January 28th birthday with this one-time Yankee announcer.

Unintended consequences can be good. That's surely true in the case of Duke Energy's oldest coal-burning power plants.
For decades, environmentalists tried to get the plants cleaned up or shut down. They were built in the 1920s and were among the first to bring electricity to North Carolina. They also belched hazardous emissions. Duke planned to close the plants - one west of Charlotte, the other in Rowan County - in 2015.
But then Duke merged with Progress Energy and the price of natural gas has plummeted, making it economically wise to convert plants to the cleaner-burning fuel. That's what Duke is doing. And it's closing the ancient plants two years ahead of schedule.
We can all breathe a little easier now.

I'm new to the Mustang, although I've wanted one since before I started driving 34 years ago. My wife bought me a 2007 GT convertible.
We are thinking about driving down for the Fri/Sat festivities at Myrtle Beach in July. Has anyone been, is anyone going? I'd like to know if its worthwhile before I put the miles on the car. (We'd be driving from Nashville, TN.)

I bought the minis for travel - but use this toothpaste everyday. It is so minty and fresh. It really makes my teeth feel clean.
judging from the strength of their mint toothpaste, I expected this to be hot. (I kinda wanted it to be) It isn't hot at all, but there is a light cinnamon taste that's just different from the run of the mill mint.
I just had a crown done that morning, and brushed my teeth with Colgate mid day, it really hurt! I couldn't wait to try this and expected it to hurt worse. It was very gentle, and didn't hurt at all.
Stylish packaging, and great flavors. Will be my new go to brand of toothpaste.
Minimum word-count for a toothpaste review? Seriously?
Marvis is the only Toothpaste I use. Period. End of story. Great look outside, great product inside, and your significant other will have toothpaste envy until they get their own tube.
I didn't find this product as great as everyone else. I bought it based on the amazing reviews. I am also not a fan of the separate cap, I like it attached for easy opening and closing. It is an ok toothpaste but I was not impressed like everyone else.
This stuff it great. In every bathroom and shaving kit. I will purchase this product again in the future. No complaints about it or any reasons to complain.
I bought this tooth paste for my daughter. She wears braces and has to spend a lot of care taking care of her teeth. She loved this toothpaste and I have to buy her some more.
This stuff is super fresh, and does not dry out my lips like most toothpaste does. Good stuff! Must buy
Wife received this sample in one of her first birch boxes and absolutely loved it. We've repurchased TWICE since then. LOVE the taste and the freshness of this product. Teeth feel clean and product packaging is super cool and nostalgic.
Marvis Classic Mint toothpaste is a really great toothpaste! I will definitely buy again. Even my kids loved it! We've tried most of the other toothpastes on the market, but I'd have to say this one leaves your teeth sparkling and has the best flavor and it really lasts. We even purchased the travel size so my kids could take them to school to keep in their lockers to brush after lunch.

Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office mourns the loss of retired police dog
The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office is mourning the loss of its recently retired police service dog, Ziva.
Courtesy WCSO
Ziva, a 7-year-old female Belgian Malinios, was retired several weeks ago due to some medical issues. Ziva died Saturday.
The department credits Ziva with many significant drug finds, seizures, firearms and evidence finds, and numerous tracking incidents that led to the arrest of dangerous individuals.
Ziva recently assisted another local agency in locating a suicidal person in a wooded area, who may not have been located without the help of Ziva, according to the department.
Ziva served in the department for five years and became a family member to her handler, Deputy Gerrod Visel.
In a news release, the department remarked that Ziva was an intelligent, energetic, hardworking and devoted police partner.
Police dog handlers throughout Washtenaw County gathered Saturday to honor Ziva and offer support for Deputy Visel.

The Ultimate Action Movie – Nonstop Action from Beginning to End [Video]
Whether you are into action movies or not this short movie is definitely worth watching for the visual effects. The heroes have all that they can handle when trying to stop a terminator-style army of sophisticated robots who can work separately or join together into awesome looking creatures and entities to fight.
For those who are curious as to the origin of this video it is from the Indian movie Endhiran (Robot).
Note: The audio commentary for the video is not in English, but does not detract from enjoying the video in any form.

they seriously spent money on this ?? Most ridiculous movie trailer evar.
Its a Rajinikant rocking in ROBOT .
Imaginative to say the least.
Yea but it is stupid having it in Hindi and Russian audio with each other.
Long time ago i heard that there are "good" movies, "bad" movies and "made in India" movies :). I had a good laugh through the whole clip.

Yes -- some big names with.
Very deep pockets looking to get into thoroughbred race saying and very beautiful Saratoga New York yes and back to Cheryl Casone is standing by there at that.
They track for -- to -- While we're at the sites of the at this site the -- side of the fast attempt to sell this one of the most exclusive sales.
In the world I mean these were these horses if you can see any right now on actually I think that -- is hiding behind it the stalls right there these -- are -- -- be sold.
For maybe millions dollars tonight now we had a chance talk about -- the sport of kings.
Prop up the sport of chefs.
Bobby -- celebrity ship we had a chance exclusively Fox Business said to following camera around and ask him to find out what is looking for.
When he buys.
Of course.
A lot of it is guesswork and you hope for the best -- but even the best of course pickers can pay millions of dollars for a -- in the course.
Can not be successful even make it to the -- movie ask you about that because obviously we know you as celebrity chef Bobby -- at the same time.
Maybe a lot of people don't know you as horse owner -- horse trainer Bobby -- the united artists.
But does it make you nervous when you're about to put down potentially millions of dollars on animals and -- know if they're gonna be winners and oh yes sure that I'm actually look.
You get this it's like buying building literally because it's it's like buying a really -- piece of real estate.
If I'd buy that worse tomorrow night.
I'm probably gonna owner for twenty years and I -- know that she's not.
Going to reap the benefits.
For me in the first year 2345.
But maybe down the line as time goes on she day.
Based on the babies that she -- and the ones that I sell that at the sales.
You know so it's it's it's one of those things that's it be if have a lot of patients in this business on the trying to Kentucky Derby I'm trying to be in the -- business in the next twenty years and so.
When I when I look at of course like her I think about her as being part of my.

5% of five forces and this we have a lot of fun that we extract enough to make -- -- -- decisions you go there who can get.
You get yourself educated.
So that if you if it's something you want to spend more time money on down the line you'll have have some experience that's the best way to do.
OK so Bobby says for the average investor maybe you can you know get a syndicate we touched her Philly but coming up -- -- Nextel we're gonna have a man.

WHO Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP)
Mental, neurological, and substance use disorders are common in all regions of the world, affecting every community and age group across all income countries. While 14% of the global burden of disease is attributed to these disorders, most of the people affected - 75% in many low-income countries - do not have access to the treatment they need.
The WHO Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) aims at scaling up services for mental, neurological and substance use disorders for countries especially with low- and middle-income. The programme asserts that with proper care, psychosocial assistance and medication, tens of millions could be treated for depression, schizophrenia, and epilepsy, prevented from suicide and begin to lead normal lives– even where resources are scarce.

WHO launches mhGAP Intervention Guide for mental, neurological and substance use disorders in non-specialized health settings.

Looking for good schools in your area? Keen to see how your school rated? The Times publishes a series of different, searchable, league tables covering examinations from national curriculum tests to A levels and the International Baccalaureate
The Times Good University Guide has been helping students choose degree courses since 1992. It is recognised as the most authoritative assessment of its type and is used by university applicants, parents and even governments across the world.
Hundreds more primary schools have slipped beneath the minimum accepted level of test results after Michael Gove tightened his threshold. Results published today showed that 767 primary schools recorded unacceptably low test scores among their children in May. The Department for Education (DfE) said it would impose new leadership and governance from academy sponsors with a track record of turning around weak schools on those that failed to improve or whose results were consistently poor. The scale of the task has become harder, both due to the higher number of failing primary schools and the
Differences in GCSE scores owe more to pupils' genetic make-up than to their teacher, school or family environment, scientists have found. The largest British study of its kind reveals that genes explain more than 50 per cent of variation in exam results, but the authors argue that this does not justify spending less on teaching the weakest pupils. The findings add fuel to an ongoing debate about IQ and social mobility, sparked by Boris Johnson's comment that "it is surely relevant to a conversation about equality that as many as 16 per cent of our species have an IQ below 85 while about 2

Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum will meet privately on Friday morning in Pittsburgh, a source familiar with the meeting confirmed to CNN.
The campaigns had refused to discuss details of the get together and were trying to keep the location secret. They have planned no press coverage of the meeting.
Santorum aides have said an immediate endorsement of Romney is not expected at the session. Instead, they describe an opportunity for the one-time opponents to get to know each other better and discuss the upcoming general election campaign, as well as some of the conservative policy issues important to the former Pennsylvania senator.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review first reported the location of the Friday meeting.

TSMC today announced that its 28nm process is in volume production and production wafers have been shipped to customers. TSMC leads the foundry segment to achieve volume production at 28nm node. TSMC's 28nm process offering includes 28nm High Performance (28HP), 28nm High Performance Low Power (28HPL), 28nm Low Power (28LP), and 28nm High Performance Mobile Computing (28HPM). Among these technology offerings, 28HP, 28HPL and 28LP are all in volume production and 28HPM will be ready for production by the end of this year. The production-version design collateral of 28HPM has been distributed to most mobile computing customers for their product-design use. The number of customer 28nm production tape outs has more than doubled as compared with that of 40nm. At 28nm, there are currently more than 80 customer product tape-outs. The TSMC 28nm process has surpassed the previous generation's production ramps and product yield at the same point in time due to closer and earlier collaboration with customers. TSMC's 28nm design ecosystem is available through its Open Innovation Platform®, with qualified EDA design tools and third-party IP ready for customer designs. "Building on TSMC and Altera's 18 years of established technology partnership, TSMC's comprehensive 28-nm process offerings and Altera's leading-edge FPGA technology complement each other perfectly, enabling us to uniquely tailor our 28-nm product portfolio to best meet our customers' diverse design requirements," said Vince Hu, Vice President of Product and Corporate Marketing at Altera Corporation. "In our 28nm generation, TSMC's 28LP process fits the requirement of Cyclone V and Arria V families with the lowest power and costs, and we have utilized the 28HP process for the industry's first delivered high-end 28nm FPGA, Stratix V with the highest performance and the lowest power in high-performance systems." "We applaud TSMC's success bringing a robust 28nm process to market, and we look forward to leveraging the benefits of this new process when we ship our next-generation discrete graphics products," said Matt Skynner, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, GPU Division, AMD. "The combination of AMD's industry-leading graphics IP and TSMC's manufacturing prowess will enable the next big leap in graphics performance with the parallel compute horsepower and power efficiency designed to meet the needs of even the most demanding gamer." "NVIDIA and TSMC have a history of delivering the most complex GPU architectures on state-of-the-art process nodes. This partnership has been among the industry's most prolific, resulting in more than one billion GPUs shipped. Our close collaboration in developing 28nm processors will once again deliver the most energy-efficient GPUs and highest-performance graphics processors on the market," said Jeff Fisher, Senior Vice President, GeForce Business Unit, NVIDIA. "Qualcomm and TSMC have a long history of collaboration to bring to market the latest in mobile semiconductor technology on the most advanced silicon manufacturing processes, and we are excited to be introducing the first integrated smartphone processors at the 28nm node," said Jim Clifford, senior vice president and general manager of operations at Qualcomm. "Most recently, Qualcomm's work with TSMC yielded our Snapdragon™ S4 class of processors, including the Snapdragon S4 MSM8960™, a highly-integrated, dual-core SoC designed to reduce power in cutting-edge smartphones and tablets. The Snapdragon S4 class of processors are manufactured in TSMC's highly sophisticated 28LP process, enabling Qualcomm to deliver the breakthrough combination of high performance and ultra low power to mobile devices." "Building our 7 Series FPGA and processing families on the 28nm HPL process in collaboration with TSMC is enabling Xilinx to lower static power by 50% while also increasing both raw performance and usable performance ," said Vincent Tong, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Quality and New Product Introductions at Xilinx. "Xilinx has delivered several industry-firsts to our customers, including the first 28nm FPGA to begin shipments and the industry's highest capacity FPGAs with the lowest power. To date, we've passed preliminary product qualification, our yields are on track and we've shipped 7 Series FPGAs to customers months ahead of our competition thanks to TSMC's 28nm HPL process." "Being the first to 28nm volume production demonstrates TSMC's leadership in technology and brings great value to our customers through design wins with competitive products," said Jason Chen, TSMC Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing.
Epic-lol: "lowest power vs. power efficiency vs. the most energy-efficient vs. ultra low power" So which one is the 'one' actually ? nV is probably last place of all 4 since their latest and greatest were actually the most power-inefficient GPUs since quite a while.
This is all nice and all, but where is tech events with demos of 7970 and 680 : ] ? Seeing there is none, i guess those cards aint so near after all..
Lol dont know where you got those results from, During furmark- Hd 6970= 287w gtx 580= 317 w During 3dmark 03 nature average power = hd 6970 = 157w gtx 580 = 197w http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/HD_6970_Lightning/21.html Id say thats more accurate.
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/HD_6970_Lightning/24.html Check the performance per Watt. The GTX 580 is at 98% of the 6970 (2% worse), at 1200p it is 4% worse and at 2560x1600 it is 9% worse. Yes at 2560x1600 the numbers are less impressive, but for the rest it was BETTER than the 6970 IMO, as you have to usually sacr9ce a bit of perf/Watt when the card is more powerful (ie: 6950 vs 6970). Not to mention that the GTX 580 is the most powerful single GPU Now I would say that the power efficiency of the GTX 580 is around the same as the 6970. I'd say THAT is more accurate Yes, look above
How about performance per die size ? If you take the 5870 die and just make the chip it as big as the 580 just by adding more shaders you will beat a 580 by very far. But then, that's an engineering aberration and that's why it wasn't made that way. The very big die size is a recognized fail (as it was for Radeons some series ago and as it's now days for nV).
I recall the ATI 2000 series, the 2900XT power consumption being out of this world, it wasn't a bad card in performance but hopefully the 3000 series did improve in power consumption, not mentioning the great success of the 4000 series that came later. Taking a look at how radeons improved from the 2000 to the 6000, the AMD graphics division has to be in the top of the "% amount of improvement per year" chart. They were really deep, in some stage everything looked... insurmountable... but finally got everything going fine, including drivers.
their different types of shader used in slightly different ways and nvidia runs them twice as fast to get their performance, im not slateing either way tho i dont care what they do so long as it improves performance and both companys are doing that year on year, go competition, winner = us
I wish the difference between Intel and AMD was as balanced as the differences between AMD and Nvidia. Specially in time, because I don't feel AMD is crippled technologically, I find it is behind in time. Whenever Intel releases something, AMD has to catch up, and many times they are late. Lately it was like this
I see a Stepping of BD coming out with this company and AMD Radeons produced aswell, GF needs to get their act together or they will be shut down

Is any body having issues after running the benchmark it wont link up to the mark online scoring page that has all one's runs? I get this msg on the top of the screen. How do I fix this? *Note, my local Westman Internet mail service stopped working also. When Id click on an instant forum post link it wouldn't let me. Said no assoited path or program..... Whats the chance. Had to change to Gmail to get my links working but mark isn't working wth?
ive had similar when unstable, like on the edge of bootable unstable. my net would be working and wouldn't allow anything. I usually save the file, screenprint and reboot/reset to stock and try uploading again. if that doesn't work keep or copy the save file, reinstall 3d11 and try again. their sites up and running and I uploaded a score earlier. just keep trying I guess.
Close this thread please.. The simple solution was the hardest solution.. Took the longest to figure out. I un-installed Fire fox after using Internet explorer as the only browser. Duh me
