Conservative activist circles are abuzz with a new conspiracy theory: Polls showing President Obama with a growing lead over Mitt Romney are deliberately being skewed by the Liberal Mainstream Media so that Republicans will be disheartened and stay home on Election Day.
An Italian study found a man's penis size, on average, is 10 percent smaller than it was 50 years ago. According to Rush Limbaugh, the shrinkage must be because of feminism. Obviously.

The U.S. government-funded "America's Army" is a digital comic being used as a recruitment tool and it, well, sucks; free online courses may be changing the face of college education as we know it; meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh has been fabricating callers and outsourcing Facebook fans. These discoveries and more after the jump.
A look at the day's political happenings, including Mitt Romney's Bain Capital controversy and Maine's governor making another Nazi comparison.
Rush Limbaugh has a major problem when it comes to women. In the past, the conservative talk radio host has accused them of being sluts for using birth control and called those who support feminism "feminazis." Now, the caustic commentator has come up with a new calumny: "When women got the right to vote is when it all went downhill."

With right-wing demagogues such as Rush Limbaugh and Rick Santorum on the attack against female sexuality, a review of the vibrator's origins in an age of similar sexual prejudice may provide some useful perspective.
This week on Truthdig Radio in association with KPFK: Dennis Kucinich on life after Congress; Eric Boehlert of Media Matters on Rush Limbaugh; Frances Causey, director of the new documentary "Heist," and former CIA interrogator Glenn Carle, who tells us about his struggle with institutionalized torture.
Rush Limbaugh's mea culpa—however insincere—is significant because it is evidence that America may be setting some basic standards for political discourse.

Next time Rush Limbaugh wants to play the bully, he might need to play something other than Peter Gabriel's music for a soundtrack. The musician's reps posted a statement on Gabriel's Facebook page noting that he was "appalled" to hear that Limbaugh had spun the tune "Sledgehammer" while besmirching Sandra Fluke's honor last week.

Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner is flipping the script on the contraception debate that's become the top issue for culture war enthusiasts by proposing a bill that would oblige men to go through similar kinds of preliminary steps to get Viagra prescriptions or vasectomies as women will for their reproductive health needs if another bit of legislation becomes law.
So let's get this straight: These guys want us to believe they're ready to face down Vladimir Putin, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Un, the Taliban and what's left of al-Qaida. Yet they're scared of a talk-radio buffoon.
She became a household name over the last week, thanks to the vitriolic attentions of one Rush Limbaugh, and on Monday, Georgetown University law-student-turned-culture-war-front-liner Sandra Fluke went on "The View" to tell Barbara Walters and her cohorts about the controversy and Limbaugh's attempt at an apology. Updated
Monte Wolverton, Cagle Cartoons —
AP / Chris Carlson
What if the right gave a culture war and nobody came? Unfortunately, that's not the case with the latest cultural kerfuffle, manufactured and amplified by GOP gadfly Rush Limbaugh, about contraception generally and the testimony of Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke before Congress more specifically.

Putting aside any of the possible reasons why Rick Santorum invoked the mighty evil that is Satan while spiritually assessing America during a speech at Ave Maria University in 2008, as that would constitute unhelpful speculation at this time, we think Forbes' Josh Barro has some good points about the telling blind spots in Santorum's diagnosis.
Could it be that right-wing radio behemoth Rush Limbaugh understands what the Occupy Wall Street movement is really about? Even weirder, could he actually sympathize with the struggle? Maybe, considering a mini-tirade Limbaugh unleashed on his listeners, set off by the occasion of NBC hiring Chelsea Clinton as a "special correspondent."

Nobody can say he didn't call it, or at least call for it, as provocateur filmmaker Michael Moore explicitly declared at the end of his last documentary, "Capitalism: A Love Story," that he would come out from behind the camera and wait for others to join in his cause of opposing Wall Street greed before making another play for the big screen.

Winning Strategies: To Be a Marketing Solutions Provider - Proceed with Caution
Commercial printers hoping to offer marketing services must be their own guinea pigs
Add new marketing services as you get more and more comfortable, and where you see the best opportunities to fulfill your customer's needs. Constantly solicit feedback.
The key today in marketing is the ability to measure the return on the dollars spent. ROI (return on investment) is what it is all about. Google zoomed to become one of the largest companies primarily due to the fact that advertisers can track their ROI and constantly optimize their marketing based on what is working and what is not.
Be prepared to have serious discussions with your clients and prospects about how you can help them grow their companies through marketing efforts that your company can fulfill. Show them the importance of using a cross media approach.
This plan may take you a year to complete. It's a long process that may be well worth it for your business to not only survive but prosper.

Date: Feb 11, 2011
Hofstra Department of Drama and Dance and the Hofstra Cultural Center Present "Into Sunlight: The Impact of War on the Social Body, From the Vietnam Era to the Present"
April 14-16, 2011
Featuring Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist David Maraniss; Psychologist and Author Edward Tick;
and Founder of the Continuum Movement Emilie Conrad
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … Hofstra University's Department of Drama and Dance is partnering with the Hofstra Cultural Center to present a unique interdisciplinary conference and set of performances that look at the impact of war and violence on the human condition. Into Sunlight: The Impact of War on the Social Body, From the Vietnam Era to the Present will be held April 14, 15, and 16, 2011, and features lectures, panel discussions, speak-outs, art exhibits and performance events. These various presentations will offer diverse perspectives on war. Invited participants from a variety of fields – including history, political science, media, trauma studies, dance, somatic studies, visual art and theater – will engage the audience in active dialogue addressing current conditions of war through the historical lens of the Vietnam Era.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Maraniss is the conference keynote speaker. His book, They Marched Into Sunlight, focuses on two days in October 1967, exploring the effects of violence on both those in battle and those at home desperately searching for peace. This book inspired Hofstra dance faculty member Robin Becker to initiate this conference and to develop Into Sunlight, an evening-length dance piece, that will serve as a focal point of the three day event. Professor Becker is developing the dance piece with six professional dancers who are graduates of Hofstra.
Another conference highlight is the world premiere of a new theatrical work, titled Undeclared History, directed by conference co-chair and professor of drama and dance Cindy Rosenthal. Hofstra's Department of Drama and Dance commissioned Isaac Rathbone, a Hofstra alumnus and co-founder of Oracle Theatre, to write this original play, set on the Hofstra campus. The script is drawn from the oral histories of Hofstra alums during the Vietnam era – veterans, activists, journalists, and faculty.
In addition to Mr. Maraniss, other distinguished guests include:
Psychologist and the author of War and Soul Edward Tick. He is founding director of Soldier's Heart: Veteran's Safe Return Programs. Honored for his groundbreaking work in the holistic and community-based healing of veteran's and Post-Tramatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Dr. Tick has been a psychotherapist for 33 years, specializing in working with veterans since the 1970s.
Emilie Conrad, Somatic pioneer and founder of Continuum Movement, has been a featured teacher, lecturer and keynote speaker. She is the author of Life on Land, and leads workshops throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Israel. Continuum Movement has proven to be beneficial in the treatment of trauma and spinal cord injury. Conrad was born and raised in New York City where she studied ballet and Afro-Haitian dance. In 1963 she began teaching at the Actors Studio, and her novel approach to movement enriched performing artists and led to choreographing and directing many plays and performance works.
More information on Into Sunlight, including the forthcoming itinerary for the three days, a list of guest speakers, fees, and tickets for Undeclared History and the dance concert, will be posted www.hofstra.edu/culture (click on "Into Sunlight"). All details, as they become available, will be posted on that Web page. Details are also available by calling the Hofstra Department of Drama and Dance at (516) 463-5444.

The latest news on dropout rates
Educators and community members are making personal connections to get students to return to school.
The nation's graduation rate climbed to 78 percent, but is lower among minority groups.
Nearly a quarter of dropouts cite disengaged parents as the reason they quit school, a new report says.
Experts argue that stakeholders from every sector are needed to strengthen high schools.
As graduation rates soar in states such as New York and Tennessee, others continue to struggle.

Ok fellow growers and tokers I'm back after a major setback due to a really bad bug infestation. But after a long wait and really good cleaning we are back and with 4 strains that are being started from seed and wait a min, we have our green thumb friend Stoney that will be going along for the ride.
Here is what we will be starting with.
1. Bubba 76
2. Pineapple Chunk
3. OG Kush
4. Alquimista
Media: Pro-Mix
Well, had a really bad bug break out in the room and everything went bad. All is know is the next time around I will be ready for all the heat issues.
Video Update
After going in and checking on my babies I found that I had a really bad larvae problem in my self watering pots so I had to clean up everything and start with a fresh transplant. I do know that this is going to set me back a bit but I know in the long run everything will be so much better and easier to manage. Here is the break downs for each waterfarm:
Waterfarm #1: Cotton Candy
2gal of water/nutrients (GH Folra series)
15ml - Micro
15ml - Grow
My babies now have a new home to grow in, 4'x4'x8' grow tent.

Can I ask a retorical question bruther??
Why in the hell are Rock Band 3's for PS3 higher than Xbox 360? 45 buck on Amazon for PS3. 17 bucks for xbox bruther.
I'm trying to hunt for a cheap PS3 Rock Band 3 for my brother bruther. He just bought a Playstation and asked me where I can find one bruther. They're even outrageous on Ebay dude. I don't get why the PS3 version would be higher and Xbox dude.
That's not a rhetorical question.

More people play Xbox and bought RB3 for it so there's more in circulation?
That'd be my guess. That and Xbox also had a re-release...

I guess that would do bruther. I hate that my bruther has to pay freaking 45 to 65 bucks for a used game bruther.
It would be one thing if it was new so Harmonix could get the profit dude but Harmonix isn't going to get anything out of it dude. I don't want him to pay that price for a used one dude.
I keep finding new Wii copies. Target and Wal-Mart around here had just the game and PC Richards had a few key board bundles.

Our dining room is a bit 70's chic and felt it would be a really nice addition to the space... and at $7 the price was right.
SO, this weekend while perusing a vintage furniture shop here in town, I see a whole stack of them. Cool. I thought mine was just a random piece. Turns out it is from an Italian designer Ico Parisi, circa 1956, and the value on auction sites range from $495-700. yes, SEVEN HUNDRED dollars. I need to get it appraised to be sure, but the details are pretty unmistakable. I felt like one of those people on Antiques Roadshow. However, I have also been told it maybe a Franco Albini. Similar style, but different materials.
I really love the way it looks in our living room and although I am dying to find out what it is...and its value, I really think this pouf is going to be my deal of the century.
Anyway, without sounding too trite, this proves once again that you never know what treasure you will find amongst the trash. And for all those folks that turn up their nose at second hand goods...you don't know what you are missing.

Needed as a birthday present. At first nervous about buying on-line, however, the product matched everything I was hoping for. It is well constructed and of quality material.
This coat rack was perfect for my teenagers room! It holds a lot and is pretty sturdy!
Base of clothes tree has grooves that receive the three legs. One of the grooves was already split upon receipt. When I attempted to insert another foot, that groove split too. Poor design. Had to return.
super easy to put together, like 2 minutes.. sturdy, fits the bill for the price
This product is so cheaply made that by trying to assemble it we broke it all apart - like it was made of balsa wood or something. We bought two and thought maybe only one was defective, but the second one immediately split when we tried to put the base on also. JUNK JUNK JUNK. Overstock should discontinue this product. Sending both back for refund.

HONOLULU - A Coast Guard rescue swimmer is spending time in the brig while the service investigates his three-month disappearance as it was preparing to discharge him for illegally using marijuana.
The Coast Guard on Wednesday launched a weeklong review of Petty Officer 1st Class Russell Matthews' case, spokesman Chief Warrant Officer Gene Maestas said.
Matthews is being held at a Navy-run facility in Pearl Harbor for detained personnel.
He hasn't been arrested. But his commanding officer, Capt. Timothy Gilbride, the commander of Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point, ordered Matthews be confined because his unauthorized absence and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance make him a flight risk, Maestas said.
Matthews showed up at his home over the weekend, more than three months after his wife reported him missing and government agencies launched an extensive search for him both on land and at sea.
Honolulu police said Matthews returned home Sunday, but he was incoherent and taken to a hospital for observation. He later called his command.
Tripler Army Medical Center released Matthews on Tuesday night.
When the 36-year-old vanished in October, he was in the process of being discharged from the Coast Guard for illegal use of marijuana, Maestas said.
Maestas said he doesn't know where Matthews has been or what he's been doing since he went missing in October. He said that would come out in the investigation.
"We want to know, too," Maestas said.
Matthews is a rescue swimmer with 15 years of experience in the Coast Guard. He's been stationed at Air Station Barbers Point on Oahu for five years.
Matthews' wife reported him missing in October.
Police found the guardsman's car abandoned at Kaena Point, a remote area of Oahu next to the ocean. At the time, police described him at the time as being emotionally distraught, and said his friends and family were concerned for his welfare.
Search and rescue crews scoured more than 10,000 square miles looking for Matthews.
Honolulu firefighters sent a helicopter and rescue teams to conduct aerial and ground searches of the rugged coastline and sand dunes near Kaena Point where Matthews' car was found.
"We wanted to make sure he wasn't hurt in some area inshore," said Honolulu Fire Department spokesman Capt. Terry Seelig.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Rules should be established regarding eating areas on sidewalks in front of local restaurants, two city lawmakers say.
"I have met with some Uptown merchants and on the (Rondout Creek) waterfront," Common Council Minority Leader Debbie Brown said in an email. "It has been a productive meeting with all willing to work for fair legislation together and to� protect all involved."
Brown, R-Ward 9, stressed, however, that her proposal "is still a work in progress."
Brown's proposal has drawn support from council Majority Leader Thomas Hoffay. The Ward 2 Democrat is the alderman for the city's Uptown business district, where such restaurants as Le Canard Enchaine and Yum Yum Noodle Bar, both on Fair Street, have sidewalk seating.
"There are some restaurants that have set up outdoor dining themselves and utilized sidewalks," Hoffay said. "It is acceptable and encouraged, but we need some sort of regulations."
Hoffay noted some other communities have sidewalk caf� rules and charge fees to participating restaurants. Brown's proposal does not, at this point, mention any fees.
"That is still being discussed� between City Hall and local restaurant owners," she said.
Brown said the purpose of her legislation is to provide adequate space for pedestrians on sidewalks "and to ensure access to adjacent commercial and retail use."
"There will be conditions and an established (number of ) feet of clearance in order to allow adequate pedestrian movement." Brown said. "It should also not cause a sight obstruction for motor vehicle operators...."
Brown said the legislation will be designed to "promote sidewalk caf�s as useful and properly planned visual amenities which better relate to the streetscape."
Brown's proposal does not yet stipulate any penalties for restaurant owners who violate the rules.
"The plan is to have restaurants present a site plan with an application for a permit," Brown said. "This ensures that all caf�s will be treated fairly" and that there will be "uniform enforcement across the board."
Brown's legislation would, among other things, require participating restaurants to take full responsibility for any damage caused by the outdoor seating.
Any law enacted sidewalk seating would not take effect until next year, Brown said.

- In another mixing bowl, stir together the flour, milk, egg, baking powder, and nutmeg. Stir batter into the potatoes and add in the melted butter.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add an even film of peanut oil about 1/4 inch deep and, when it is hot, form pancakes about 1 heaping tablespoonful large, spreading out and smoothing the top surface with the back of the spoon. When the undersides are golden brown, about 3 minutes, use a metal spatula to flip the pancakes over and cook until their other sides are browned.
- Serve the pancakes as a side dish or appetizer, garnished with watercress. If serving as an appetizer, also accompany the pancakes with your choice of caviar or applesauce, along with some cr�me fraiche or sour cream.
The ever-popular potato pancakes of the Jewish kitchen make a wonderful appetizer, side dish, or even a vegetarian main course.

Invasive, Exotic Plants Can Pose A Threat To Native Plants And Animals
Mar 3rd, 2011 | By Submitted | Category: OutdoorsLIVE OAK, FL, March 1, 2011 – You can't miss the spring blooms of Chinese wisteria that grow alongside the road and within landscapes. The fragrant flower clusters drape over trees as an ornament on a Christmas tree.
The presence of this aggressive climbing vine, however, is not so lovely.
Chinese wisteria, mimosa, chinaberry and Chinese tallow are ornamentals commonly found in home gardens. They are also invasive, exotic plant species that can displace Florida's native plants and threaten the health of the ecosystem.
Exotic or non-native species have been introduced into Florida for a variety of reasons, either for their ornamental nature, as a potential forage crop or by accident. Most non-native plant species are not invasive, that is there is little threat of their proliferation in the wild. On the other hand, invasive plants often out-compete native species when they enter the natural community.
"The presence and proliferation of invasive, exotic species can drastically alter the ecosystem and disrupt the natural balance among native plants and animals," said Beau Willsey, an environmental scientist at the Suwannee River Water Management District (District).
The District is responsible for managing more than 160,000 acres of publicly-owned lands. To maintain the natural communities on these tracts, the District works to control or prevent the spread of invasive, exotic species. The District is actively treating invasive weeds on 1,113 acres on 85 tracts of land.
"We are having a positive impact at controlling these pests," said Willsey, noting that the presence of invasive plants has significantly decreased since the District began treating the weeds in 1998.
The District protects, enhances and restores habitat and natural communities as part of its excellence in land management program. Treating invasive weeds on District-owned lands helps meet that objective. Other goals in the program include water management and nonstructural flood protection, hydrologic restoration and public access and use of District lands.
Why should homeowners get involved in controlling invasive weeds?
Invasive plants have no respect for property boundaries. Wind, birds and other animals can carry seeds or plant spores, spreading invasive weeds to natural areas. Here, they have the potential to rapidly reproduce and damage the ecosystem.
What can I do as a homeowner?
Know the plants you bring into your yard or that currently exist in your landscape. The Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council provides a list of invasive weeds, available at www.fleppc.org.
Control and prevent further spread of invasive species on your property. To learn how, visit www.fleppc.org.
Implement Florida Friendly Landscaping™. The website www.floridayards.org provides tips and advice on how to develop an attractive, low-maintenance landscape with native or drought tolerant plants. You may also contact your local extension office.
"By doing your part to control invasive, exotic species, you are promoting the biodiversity and the health of the ecosystem," said Willsey.
For more information about the District's efforts to control invasive, exotic plants visit http://www.srwmd.state.fl.us/index.aspx?nid=303.

Chloe Finney played her first scrimmage with Unity Christian's varsity team on April 9th after one year and three months of not playing competitively. Chloe played for me last year on our club's U14 premier team. It was her first year playing premier soccer, and she struggled a bit technically and tactically during the fall season. It was during that off-season that I saw tremendous growth in Chloe. She was more committed to the sport than ever before. She consistently trained on her own and was playing with more confidence every day. It was during one of our mid-winter team trainings that Chloe suddenly fell when pivoting to get to a 50/50 ball. Torn ACL.
I met with Chloe shortly after her injury and discussed her road to recovery and the possibility of her playing premier level soccer again. She did not waste a second of recovery time feeling sorry for herself or thinking negatively. She was incredibly steadfast and focused on her long-term goals of making her school's varsity team and again playing the game she loved.
Chloe dedicated herself completely to improving her strength, regaining her technical skills and playing with confidence again. She worked for over a year without a secure place on any club or high school team. She didn't have teammates rallying around her. She didn't even have a uniform to remind her of what she was working toward.
She is now playing significant minutes for a State Championship high school team (as a freshman) and looking forward to playing premier soccer again starting in June. This is a shining example of one of our own players overcoming adversity. Congratulations, Chloe!
I have seen many of our players and teams overcome great obstacles over the past year. They have displayed courage, strength and humility in very difficult situations. On a daily basis I also see our players and teams rise to less significant challenges. Our responses to life's challenges are a reflection of our mental attitude. How we carry ourselves, the way we take instructions from coaches, and even how we react to our own mistakes are all reflections of our ability to overcome difficulties.
We are always going to make mistakes. We will occasionally go down by a goal or two. We are not going to agree with every call the referee makes. We will get knocked down both literally and figuratively. We are going to experience these challenges and possibly much greater hardship as we play this game. However, the player/team that is best at overcoming adversity will most often win. Sometimes you won't will the particular game, but you will win in life!
Stay after it Michigan Fire!
The second annual Chicago Fire Elite Female Player Identification Camp took place last weekend in Lake Forest, Illinois. Last year we sent 9 players to this elite camp/tryout. This year we felt that 20 of our own MFJ players (ranging from U13 - U17) were ready to train and compete against the best players from all nine Fire Juniors clubs!
Mike Dickey, Chicago Fire Juniors Technical Director and ODP Region II Head Coach, gave the opening address on Thursday night. This was a perfect kickoff to the four day event. Mike spoke about the Women's National Team standards and expectations. Every player in the room was inspired to play her very best over the next four days. The rest of the camp consisted of skills testing, trainings, games, classroom sessions and a trip to Toyota Park to see the Chicago Fire reserves play against the Charlotte Eagles. The camp atmosphere was certainly challenging, competitive and professional. I know our players improved much throughout the weekend and walked away from this camp with a much better understanding of what it takes to play at the highest level.
The coaching staff for the 2013 Chicago Fire Elite Female Player ID Camp consisted of all top-level coaches from many of the Fire Juniors clubs including Illinois, Michigan, Florida and Kentucky. Our own Coach David Wood was able to go down for the weekend and lead the U14 group. I was fortunate enough to work with the U16's.
Many college coaches came to watch the training and ID games. They were impressed by the level of talent we have in the Chicago Fire Juniors program. I received multiple emails after the camp regarding our U17 girls!
We could not be prouder of the 20 players who represented the Michigan Fire Juniors. They came into the camp much more prepared (technically, physically and mentally) than last year as they have been working toward this for over a year. Coach David and I both felt that our players showed well in every age group. They were also very professional off the field -- arriving early to every training and classroom session, being respectful of the staff and displaying good sportsmanship.
Congratulations to all 20 players for being selected to participate in this fantastic event. We want to wish them the best of luck on making the Fire Juniors Select Teams as well. Also, a huge thank you to all of their Michigan Fire club coaches for helping them develop and reach their full potential. None of this would be possible without you!
We hope to send even more players to this outstanding event next year. To all interested players...keep training on your own, get as much as you can out of your team trainings (work hard, stay focused) seek advice from our staff, stay positive and know that you have what it takes to make this dream a reality. GO FIRE!!!

Kristen Eible has been with our club for two years now. She is also a rising star in the coaching world! She graduated from Grand Valley two years ago where she was an Academic All American, a team captain, a 4-year starter and a 2-time National Champion! Kristen immediately started coaching after graduation, and she is now a professional coach (coaching full-time). As Grand Valley Coach Dave DiIanni says, "Eible was born to be a coach." Most recently (as Assistant Coach), she helped Davenport University reach its first ever National Tournament and become a top 25 NAIA team. She is also the Varsity Head Coach at East Grand Rapids where she was just voted District Coach of the Year!!!
Coach Kristen will be coaching our U11 Girls' Academy team and our U13 Girls Premier team this year. I am 100% confident that Coach Kristen will help these teams reach new heights. I can't wait to see these players and teams develop over the year with Coach Kristen.
You will see Coach Kristen involved with many camps, clinics and additional trainings this year as our new Girls ADOC. The first program she will be involved in is our Summer Excel program. She will be working with the U14/U15 group all summer!
I am so excited to be working alongside such a wonderful coach and person. I know she will help the girls' side of our club continue to grow and thrive!

By Dan McAllister Technical Director Technical Skills are the foundation for every player in the game and is likely the biggest single area that will affect every player's opportunities to advance throughout their career. Technical proficiency is an ongoing process of first learning the proper technique of a skill, then the much longer process of perfecting it. In an article by John Rennie from Duke University entitled "Taking it to the Next Level", John writes: "I view skill as receiving and playing balls under the pressure of defending players. A player must demonstrate skill under pressure in order to play at the collegiate level. Success or failure in this situation determines further evaluation." WOW!! If you CAN play with skill under pressure, then you have a chance for further evaluation. If you CAN NOT play with skill under pressure....WOW! Players must be constantly working on technical precision, or what I like to call "Ball Mastery." The Michigan Fire Juniors, through the curriculum and guidance of the Chicago Fire organization, are committed to the technical training of our players. As the Technical Director, I have spent much of the past two decades studying what so many successful professional clubs are doing to develop their youth players. I have had first hand exposure to our own Olympic Development Program at the state, regional and national level and have paid very close attention to what our national team coaches at every level are asking us at the youth level to focus on and why. I have had indepth exposure to some of the world's most reknowned youth development programs such as the Liverpool Academy and how they develop their youth players in an attempt to prepare those players to play in the English Premier League one day. A huge amount of their focus is technical development. Many of our US players do not get the opportunity to advance to the next level, which is different for every player, because of the inability to play technically fast with technical precision to match. Recently, my Cornerstone University Women's Soccer Team played the Haiti National Team. In assessing the play of their national team players, we determined that in virtually every element of the game, the Haitians were "faster" than most of our players. Their technical "speed" was effected by their supple, sure touches that so often put the ball just out of the reach of our defenders allowing them to maintain possession under our fierce pressure, dictate the flow of their attack without hindrance from us, and control the ball more than we were able to. Another important element in terms of skill development is the focus on ball mastery of the basic skills, as opposed to the entertaining "tricks" with the ball that we all enjoy watching. While these are fun to learn, they typically have little to no application in the a game, and even when they are attempted in a game, they rarely do anything to positively affect the game. The most dangerous element in the game of soccer is Speed. However, it is not simply physical speed of the players that effect the game. Technical Speed, Mental Speed, Tactical Speed, and Vision are the key contributors to overall speed of play. Our focus at the Michigan Fire Juniors in terms of technical development will be the foundation of our overall philosophy of Player Development. This year, with our U10, U11, and U12 teams (boys and girls) we are offering an in-season supplementary Technical Training session each week in order to further develop these young players technical skills. We have developed a skills monitoring program where we will offer testing to any of these players who choose to participate at least 3 times per year in 21 different skills. We believe this gives every player a good measure of where they are in terms of technical skills, an ongoing measurement of improvement, and a central focus on the most prominent skills the game demands from our players. We have also developed a "Skills Workout" package which is all available on the Michigan Fire Juniors website under Technical Training. All of these resources are openly available to all MFJ's players regardless of age/gender and all players and parents are encouraged to use them in your own development regardless of age or ability. If you want to see someone special in terms of mastery of the ball, check out Messi here! |
Kristin Englehart, Girls DOC
The teams that I have coached know all about "training on your own." This is one of the first lessons that I teach my teams.
I made my first premier team (Santa Rosa United) and fell in love with soccer when I was 12 years old, although the only reason that I made that team was because of my speed. I was way behind the curve compared to my teammates who had grown up as one-sport athletes, training year-round and preparing for premier soccer. I remember my first team practice like it was yesterday. We worked on passing patterns, and I was so focused on my first touch that I wasn't able to remember the patterns. Since I had decided that I wanted to go as far as I possibly could in the sport, I had A LOT of catching up to do. So began the next ten years of training on my own.
Our Technical Director, Dan McAllister, has already posted some amazing resources under "Technical Training" on our MFJ website that you can use to help plan your individual sessions. I highly encourage you to use these resources. I think it could be helpful for you to get a glimpse of what this may actually look/feel like on a daily basis.
Quite honestly, none of the games, tournaments, practices, lectures or team meetings taught me as much as I learned through training on my own. Based on my own experience, here are some tips for training on your own:
1) Know WHY you're training. Your long-term goal will be the only thing that gets you out there some days.
2) Make a plan for your training and stick to it.
3) Don't make excuses. I trained before school. I trained in hotel parking lots when we were on vacation. I trained on Christmas day. Every day counts!
4) It's not glamorous. I worked on dribbling cuts and turns in my dark and dreary garage on winter days. I would reach for that last touch when juggling, and the ball would knock my dad's tools off the wall, crash into trashcans and land behind bikes and lawn mowers. I once did a 25 minute training in the corner of an airport terminal while waiting to board a plane!
5) Push yourself. Set goals during the actual training session as well. For example, I wouldn't allow myself to go back in the house before I broke my juggling record. I had to hit a certain amount of targets when working on shooting and finishing, or I would run sprints.
6) Use a wall! This was the BEST thing that I did for my game when growing up. You can use a handball court, a racquetball court, a garage door or a brick wall. Work on 1 and 2-touch passing, receiving balls out of the air, turning with the ball and more!
7) Lastly, of course it's hard. It can be boring, repetitive, even painful. The trick is pushing past that. You're working toward your goals and dreams!

Chalmette National Cemetery: A Historical Cemetery With a Rich Past
Shanna Riley February 19th, 2009
National Cemetery, Chalmette (New Orleans) La., originally uploaded by Casino Jones.
The War of 1812 essentially ended on January 8, 1815 with the Battle of New Orleans on Chalmette Battlefield in southern Louisiana.В Four soldiers killed in that war were buried nearby on a large tract of land that would later become a national cemetery housing soldiers and veterans of every war from the Civil War to Vietnam - including the Spanish-American War and World Wars I and II.
It was during the Civil War, in May of 1864, that the 17.5 acre strip of land along the Mississippi River began being used as a burial ground for both the Confederate and Union dead in Louisiana.В After the war, hastily buried soldiers around the state were moved to the more permanent national cemeteries.В Over 12,000 of them found a final resting place in what is now Chalmette National Cemetery.В In 1868, the 132 Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery were moved by the Ladies Benevolent Association of New Orleans, with permission, to Cypress Grove Cemetery in New Orleans.В In the following years, over 7,000 Union soldiers from around southern Louisiana and Mississippi were re-interred in the cemetery.В While the cemetery is said to hold 12,000 Civil War dead, close to 7,000 of these are unknown soldiers.
Over the years, veterans and new casualties of war were buried in Chalmette National Cemetery; today, after a halt on new burials some time after the Vietnam war, the cemetery holds over 15,000 occupants.В It is also the final resting place of many soldiers' wives and children.
A part of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in Chalmette, Louisiana, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 5, 1966 along with Chalmette Battlefield, which sits adjacent to it.В A veritable treasure trove of history lies buried beneath the green grass of this national cemetery.
The cemetery holds 113 members of the Native Guard; the first African-American soldiers in the Union Army.В On September 27, 1862, the 1st Regiment of the Louisiana Native Guards was sworn into service.В Controversial as the militia unit was, they contributed greatly to the war effort and later focused their energies on Reconstruction and promoting black rights.
The story of the Native Guards began with their enrollment as part of the Louisiana militia and ended with their participation in the civil rights movement during Reconstruction. As a militia unit, the Native Guards paraded with Confederate troops and sought to contribute to the Southern cause in other ways. After the fall of New Orleans, many of the officers and some of the men embraced the Old Flag by forming the first officially-sanctioned black regiment in the Union Army. During the war, the Native Guards fought at Port Hudson, Mansura, and Mobile. They also guarded prisoners, built fortifications, and contributed to the Union war effort in numerous other ways. Their service in the Union Army was as honorable as it was controversial. When the war ended, veterans of the Native Guards entered a third phase of their unusual career when they took up the struggle for black civil rights.В - from The Louisiana Native Guards
Another piece of buried history lay beneath the damp earth at plot 4066 in Section 52 and was not discovered until 1994 when some old papers were found, forgotten, in the attic of an old home in upstate New York.В The grave, from 1864, reads Lyons Wakeman, but the lost papers proved the grave's occupant was actually named Sarah.В Nineteen year-old Sarah Rosetta Wakeman - known as Rosetta - found that posing as a man got her better paying jobs, and when the prospect of making $13/month as a soldier came up, Sarah jumped at the chance.В She saw action as Private Lyons Wakeman of the 53rd Regiment, New York State Volunteers, but succubmed to dysentery in a New Orleans hospital on June 19, 1864.В The book An Uncommon Soldier: The Civil War Letters of Sarah Rosetta Wakeman, alias Pvt. Lyons Wakeman, 153rd Regiment, New York State Volunteers, 1862-1864 details Rosetta's experiences in the Union Army during the Civil War from the complete collection of her letters home.
The cemetery was greatly damaged when Hurricane Katrina's path of destruction passed over the old burial grounds.В Particularly damaged was the historical red brick fences around the cemetery.В A wonderful article that appeared in NOLA.com details the reconstruction the cemetery has undergone and the work that still needs to be done:
The vast majority of the gravestones have been patched together, but other contractors are working to rebuild the two red-brick walls lining the graves, some of which date back to 1870.
The $3.7 million wall restoration is the most expensive post-Katrina project undertaken in Jean Lafitte National Historical Park, which includes the Barataria Preserve on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish.В - from NOLA.com Historic Chalmette National Cemetery returning to life by Chris Kirkham
I highly recommend giving Historic Chalmette National Cemetery returning to lifea read, as it details not only work being on the cemetery at present, but some interesting tidbits about the cemetery's colorful history.
I never realized this important cemetery was so close to home, or so close to New Orleans (only about 6 miles away from the heart of the French Quarter).В It's absolutely on the top of my list of cemeteries I want to visit now; though I intend to wait until reconstruction is complete.В It's a graver's dream to stumble upon something so full of history so close to home, and I believe I've done just that with Chalmette National Cemetery.

Grand Duchess II Location
Your apartment is located right in the Duinoord District This district was set up in the 19th century and it is known for its architectural houses in the neo-renaissance style. Duin means dune in the Dutch language so this means that you are close to the dune beach of Scheveningen. But you are also not far away from the city centre of The Hague. The bus or tram will take you there in about 15 minutes. Scheveningen is a nice old fishing village connected to The Hague. It is now one of the 8 districts of The Hague and it is a modern seaside resort with a long sandy beach, a boulevard, a big jetty with buildings on it and a lighthouse. Many young people come here to kiteboard and to windsurf. A nudist section is 1 kilometer to the north. On New Year's Day many Dutch come to this beach to take a dive in the cold water of the North Sea. If you are fond of modern art then you can visit the Gemeentemuseum or the Municipal Museum. It is known for the large Mondrian collection, the largest in the world. The extensive collection of modern art includes works of Degas, Monet and Picasso. In this museum you can also find a collection of fashion items and jewelry of famous designers like Gabrielle Chanel, Frank Govers and Yoshiki Hishinuma. |
