USA History in FIFA Confederations Cup
USA in FIFA Confederations Cup
Previous Tournaments: 1992, 1999, 2003
Overall Record: 4-5-1, 12 goals for, 11 goals against
Best finish: Third Place (1992, 1999)
What is now known as the FIFA Confederations Cup began as the King Fahd Cup, or Intercontinental Championship, a small tournament in Saudi Arabia with four teams, each the champion of its confederation. As winners of the 1991 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the U.S. received an invitation to the first-ever event along with Argentina, Ivory Coast and the hosts.
Since then, the tournament has gone through major changes. In 1997, FIFA took the reigns and turned it into an eight-team tournament held every two years between 1997 and 2005. In its current form, the tournament is held once every four years as a precursor to the FIFA World Cup. The host of the following year's World Cup holds the Confederations Cup to give the stadium and infrastructure a 'dry run'.
The U.S. has participated three times, in the inaugural event in 1992, 1999 in Mexico and 2003 in France. Holding an overall record of 4-5-1 with 12 goals for and 11 against, the Americans have advanced to the semifinals twice and went on to win the third-place match both times.

Saudi Arabia 3, USA 0
The U.S. has the distinction of playing in the first ever game of the Confederations Cup, which was then the Intercontinental Championship where teams competed for the King Fahd Cup. On Oct. 15, 1992, the U.S. faced Saudi Arabia for the first time ever, and unfortunately gave up the first goal in tournament history in the 48th minute of the opening game. In front of 70,000 home fans at the American's first and only trip to the Middle-Eastern country, Saudi Arabia went on to win 3-0.
USA 5, Ivory Coast 2
With only four teams participating in the King Fahd Cup, the U.S. moved on to the third-place game against Ivory Coast while Saudi Arabia advanced to the final against Argentina. Led by two goals from Bruce Murray and single goals from Marcelo Balboa, Cobi Jones and Eric Wynalda, the Americans topped Ivory Coast 5-2 to take third place in the first-ever Intercontinental Championship. That was the first, and to this day only, match between the senior national teams of the USA and Ivory Coast. Argentina went on to defeat Saudi Arabia in the final to claim the inaugural title.
Mexico 1999
U.S. Record: 3-1-1

MIDFIELDERS (6): Marcelo Balboa, John Harkes, Cobi Jones, Eddie Lewis, Ben Olsen, Richard Williams
FORWARDS (4): Paul Bravo, Jovan Kirovski, Brian McBride, Joe-Max Moore
USA 2, New Zealand 1
The U.S. opened its 1999 campaign against New Zealand in the unfriendly confines of Mexico. In one of the best-attended Confederations Cups in history, the U.S. knocked off New Zealand behind goals from Brian McBride and Jovan Kirovski in front of 60,000 fans. New Zealand was able to steal a second-half stoppage time goal to finish the game by a 2-1 score in then-manager Bruce Arena's first major international tournament.
Brazil 1, USA 0
The U.S. then found themselves up against Brazil, who had advanced to the FIFA World Cup final the year before. Through a tough battle and a tight game, the U.S. fell 1-0 behind a 13th minute header from Ronaldinho. Kasey Keller, who was splitting time in goal during the tournament with Brad Freidel, put up a stellar performance against the Selecao, but the U.S. could not find the equalizer.
USA 2, Germany 0
Needing a result from its final group game to advance, the U.S. went into the match against Germany with conviction. The Americans scored on either side of halftime - Ben Olsen in the 23th minute and Joe-Max Moore in the 50th - to earn the victory and advance to the semifinals while knocking Germany out of the tournament.
Semifinal: Mexico 1, USA 0
By advancing to the semifinals in 1999, the U.S. earned a battle with regional rival and tournament host Mexico. With 82,000 people serving as the "12th Man" in the famed Estadio Azteca, the U.S. defense held strong and kept the game scoreless through 90 minutes and sent it into a Golden Goal overtime. Seven minutes into the extra period, Cuautemoc Blanco lifted Mexico with a goal that put them into the final. Brazil had the difficult task of facing Mexico before a sell-out crowd of 110,000 home supporters in the final. An exciting and offensive-minded affair saw the two teams exchange goals throughout before Mexico eventually won 4-3.
Third-place Match: USA 2, Saudi Arabia 0
Though the U.S. was coming off of an emotional loss to Mexico, Saudi Arabia had lost its semifinal match 8-2 to Brazil by giving up six unanswered goals to end the game. The Americans were able to avenge their 1992 loss to Saudi Arabia with a 2-0 win as Paul Bravo and Brian McBride scored for U.S. while Brad Friedel was between the pipes to earn the shutout. The third-place finish matched the United States' placement in the '92 event.
France 2003
U.S. Record: 0-2-1
Group A: New Zealand, France, Japan, Colombia
Group B: Cameroon, Turkey, Brazil, USA
Champions: France
U.S. Roster by Position:
GOALKEEPERS (3): Joe Cannon, Marcus Hahnemann, Tim Howard
DEFENDERS (8): Gregg Berhalter, Carlos Bocanegra, Danny Califf, Steve Cherundolo, Corey Gibbs, Frankie Hejduk, Earnie Stewart, Greg Vanney
MIDFIELDERS (7): Chris Armas, DaMarcus Beasley, Bobby Convey, Chris Klein, Eddie Lewis, Kyle Martino, Pablo Mastroeni
FORWARDS (5): Jeff Cunningham, Landon Donovan, Jovan Kirovski, Clint Mathis, Taylor Twellman
Turkey 2, USA 1
The U.S. was coming off one of its best-ever performances at a FIFA World Cup in 2002 and was looking to continue its form in the 2003 Confederations Cup in France. The U.S. opened play against Turkey and took the lead on a 36th minute goal from DaMarcus Beasley, who headed in a perfectly placed cross from Landon Donovan. The lead did not last long, however, as Turkey leveled the score just minutes later with a successful penalty kick conversion. In the second half, Tuncay Sanli gave Turkey a 2-1 lead that they would not relinquich.
Brazil 1, USA 0
After opening the tournament with a loss, the American side knew that it needed a result against Brazil to have a chance to advance out of the first round. When the two teams met in 1999, it was an early Ronaldinho header that held up as the game-winner, but this time an Adriano breakaway after a defensive miscue finish proved to be the difference. Adriana stripped a U.S. defender of the ball and was in alone on Tim Howard, who saved the initial shot but gave up just enough of a rebound to allow Adriano to finish the play. The Brazilian went on to win the Golden Boot in the tournament.
USA 0, Cameroon 0
With two losses in the opening two games, the third match was rendered virtually meaningless but the Americans still put up a good fight. Coming up against a tough Cameroon side that would eventually finish second in the tournament, the game was evenly matched throughout and neither team was able to break through for a goal. Cameroon advanced to the semifinals as the group winners, but their success was overshadowed by the death of midfielder Marc-VivienFoe, who suffered a heart attack during the semifinal win. Though France defeated the Africans via a Golden Goal in the final, the defining image of the tournament came when the two team captains held up the championship trophy together in honor of Foe.
South Africa 2009
Group A: Italy, Brazil, USA, Egypt
Group B: Iraq, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain
U.S. Roster by Position:
GOALKEEPERS (3): Brad Guzan, Tim Howard, Luis Robles
DEFENDERS (8): Carlos Bocanegra, Jonathan Bornstein, Danny Califf, Jay DeMerit, Oguchi Onyewu, Heath Pearce, Jonathan Spector, Marvell Wynne
MIDFIELDERS (7): Freddy Adu, DaMarcus Beasley, Michael Bradley, Ricardo Clark, Benny Feilhaber, Sacha Kljestan, José Francisco Torres
FORWARDS (5): Jozy Altidore, Conor Casey, Charlie Davies, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan
The U.S. is entering its fourth FIFA Confederations Cup in 2009, having earned its berth to South Africa by winning the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. You might remember that day at Soldier Field – the U.S. was down a goal to rival Mexico until Landon Donovan converted a penalty kick in the 60th minute. In the 73rd, Benny Feilhaber introduced himself to the world with one of the most famous goals in U.S. Men's National Team history to help the Americans to a 2-1 victory.
Two years later, the work the U.S. did in that tournament has come to fruition as they are representing the region in one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. The eight-team FIFA Confederations Cup includes the champions of all five confederations along with host South Africa and reigning World Cup champion Italy.
The U.S. was drawn into a difficult group for the tournament alongside Italy, five-time World Cup champions Brazil and African Cup of Nations champion Egypt. The other group features European champion Spain, Asian champions Iraq, Oceania winners New Zealand and host South Africa.
The U.S. kicks off Confederation Cup action against defending World Cup champion Italy on June 15 at Loftus Versfeld in Tshwane/Pretoria (ESPN, 2:25 p.m. ET), and then faces Brazil on June 18 in the same venue (ESPN2, 9:55 a.m. ET). The United States finishes group play on June 21 against Egypt at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg (ESPN2 2:25 p.m. ET). All 16 matches of the tournament will be available in high definition on the ESPN HD and ESPN2 HD. Fans can also follow all the USA's matches live on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker.


text: Show Hide image Politics 5 March 2012 "Emotionally bruised, actually battered" Sign up for our weekly email * My next-door neighbour Ian, who is a Gooner, asked me if I would like a ticket for the Big Match. His friend Chris, who sits beside him, was not going. The condition was that I had not to jump up and down on my seat every time Spurs scored. I said brilliant, fab, and of course I will behave. One should not mock or boast or take advantage of lesser mortals in their bad times. As I was writing out a cheque for £60 - remember them? sort of rectangular bits of paper - I asked why Chris was not going. Did he have a family wedding, a funeral, vital work? He is an architect, so stuff can come up at weekends. Must be pretty mega, to make him give up his season ticket. Ian hesitated, not sure how to explain, then he let me read an email Chris had sent him: "I wonder whether you would like both tickets for the Spurs game? To be totally honest with you I am so disillusioned at the moment I really don't want to go to this match and see us thumped again. I realise that this is not the spirit and that I am therefore not a true supporter as I can't seem to 'keep the faith'. I will drop my season ticket off at your house." Trivial pursuit Folks not interested in football often think fans are sloppy, emotional, sentimental, maudlin, all of which is spot on, believing such feelings should be kept for really important things in life, like birth and death, not boring, trivial football. In reply, we usually quote Bill Shankly. At the same time, a true fan of some years' standing, or in these days sitting, takes the disappointments and defeats in their stride. It is part of being a football fan. We all have to suffer. For decades , the Gods seemed to have blessed Liverpool. Not now. It will happen soon to Barcelona. Then watch them weep. All the same, I was surprised that Chris should voluntarily elect not to watch this Arsenal-Spurs match, which could confirm Spurs as the top team in London, surely destined for third spot, while an Arsenal win could turn round their miserable season. Little chance, of course, of the latter happening. Had not the Sunday papers anointed Spurs as odds-on favourites, saying only one Arsenal player, Van Persie, could get in the present Spurs team, while Harry had been christened England manager, winner already of the 2012 Euro, plus the 2014 World Cup? Poor old Wenger was being continually criticised by even the loyalist fans. Game's up On the way to the game, I was perfecting a remark I would come out with spontaneously at the end of the game. "What's happened to all those banners I used to see saying 'In Arsene We Trust'? Presumably now you will be dropping the first T . . ." Hee hee, jolly witty, Hunt. When we, I mean Spurs, went 2-0 up, I carefully did not stand up or cheer. I agreed with Ian on my left and a big burly bloke on my right that yeh, Spurs were jammy, a deflected goal and a penalty. Both of them were moaning about Walcott - should be pulled off, waste of space, why hadn't Wenger bought a decent player from Southampton, such as Bale? When Arsenal got their first goal, the big bloke jumped up in the air, throwing his arms around so much he knocked my specs right off. I made no protest - poor things, Gooners do need a bit of pleasure. Same thing happened when they got a second goal. This time he accidentally hit me in the eye, even harder. When the 3rd, 4th and 5th goals flew in, I got bashed each time around the head. He didn't even notice, too busy singing along with 55,000 other Gooners. "Two nil, and you fucked it up." Followed by, "Harry, Harry, what's the score . . ." Spurs were appalling, just as bad as they had been against Stevenage, a recent rubbish game I'd wiped from my slate, convinced that after 40 years of misery and disappointment, Spurs really were different this season, would continue to flatter and not deceive and not end up middling, as per bloody usual. I came home emotionally deflated as well as physically bruised. I bet Chris was gutted to have given up his ticket. That's a technical term, used in architecture.

The 'Fighter' helmer has signed on to direct a potential high-profile drama about a 1980's undercover sting operation of Congress, which was created by a con artist to root out corruption.
After directing oscar-nominated "The Fighter" in 2010, David O. Russell is set to helm another potential high-profile true story movie. Variety has broken the news that the 53-year-old moviemaker has signed on to direct "American Bullshit", a crime drama which is based on a Congressional sting operation in 1980.
The movie itself follows a true story of Abscam, an FBI's 1980 undercover sting operation of Congress to root out corruption which was the brainchild of the world's greatest con man. Eric Warren Singer pens the script, which is included in the top 10 of the 2012 Black List.
"American Bullshit" will be developed at Sony Pictures with Charles Roven and Richard Suckle tackling the producing duty. No starting date has been revealed for the project, which will look forward to cast actors to play the film's two main leads.
Russell received an Oscar nomination for his work in "The Fighter". He is currently in the post-production stage of "The Silver Linings Playbook", which stars Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and Chris Tucker.

This article was published after the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vacouver, B.C.
The night Alexandre Bilodeau won his gold medal, his sister, Béatrice, was beside herself as only a 16-year-old girl can be beside herself. One moment he was Béatrice's brother and the next he was Alexandre Bilodeau, winner of the gold medal for freestyle skiing, Canada's first on Canadian soil - glory of our glory, the first of our triumphs.
"He went on the media, and he was just gone," Béatrice remembers. She gave him a hug at the foot of the hill, but then he was swallowed by the adoring, proud masses.
Afterward, back alone in the hotel with her father, Serge, and mother, Sylvie, Béatrice did what she always does when she feels sad or bad: She talked to Frédéric, her eldest brother. He could always hear her.
Fred had been all over the TV himself, hugging his brother at the bottom of the hill - the brother with cerebral palsy who had launched himself out of his wheelchair, into his brother's arms and a nation's awareness. Alex was a hero. But Fred was where he always was at the end of the day - in his wheelchair.
"Well, why don't you come and sleep with me?" Fred said to his distraught sister. This is something families like theirs do: There, in bed, together, the differences between the disabled one and everyone else disappear.
"And so I came, and we slept together, and we talked and had a great moment, and I felt way better. Because of him."
Fred could do that.
By now everyone has heard Alex Bilodeau talk about Frédéric, has heard the Olympic champion explain how his broken brother inspires him and has heard him say at public gatherings or press conferences or on TV or in interviews, "Even though his abilities are getting lower, he's trying to improve every time. So where's my limit? If he's still skiing, where's my limit?" (Or words to that effect. Alex is almost as skilled at talking as he is on the mogul field.)
There has been so much coverage that one could be forgiven for thinking the media are exploiting Fred for the sake of an easily moving story. The family has noticed that. There are even people who say Fred's become a hero because these Olympics need some good news and Canada needs proof that it hasn't become a medal-grasping hard-ass. The family has noticed that too.
Fred disagrees. He likes being famous. His parents refused to wear TV microphones during Alex's race, but he wanted to and did. "Because of the performance of Alex," he said to me the other day in the lobby of his hotel, "I'm part of history." Fred loves history. His hero is Napoleon - "he created a new kind of liberty in Europe."
He has this way of pausing after he says something, and then adding another thought. "My brother is" - a long pause - "the Napoleon of Canada."
A radical thought: Fred says there's no need to apologize. For anything - not for winning, not for being Canadian, not for being disabled. It seems to be a popular message. So many people recognized Fred last Tuesday in downtown Vancouver that his father said, "You are almost as popular as Tom Cruise."
Fred looked up. "Who is Tom Cruise?"
Fred has cerebral palsy, like 50,000 other Canadians. There are different strains, but the consequences are distressingly similar - damage to the brain, most often in utero; a subsequent inability to control or co-ordinate movement of the limbs, face, mouth, body. Incurable. Fred was fine until he was 2. Then he fell sick and couldn't move. He was admitted to hospital and stayed so long, his mother quit her job.
His feet point in one direction and his shins go another and his thighs go a third, even sitting in his wheelchair, while his trunk pokes off somewhere else again. When he speaks - low and slow and gutturally and with feeling, trying to form words that are clearly there in his head but that he can't seem to persuade his brain and mouth to say - he sometimes tries to push the air in front of him into big squares with his hands.
Unlike his physically brilliant brother, whose body has a gymnast's centred calm, Fred's torso seems to be permanently on the verge of scattering in all directions. It's not frightening, but it can be grave.
If a question is challenging, he makes the air squares bigger; if he is thoughtful, his voice is calmer. The most serious questions give him the least difficulty. Sometimes his father wipes his chin as he speaks. Mostly they laugh.
His parents met when they were 15. She was a figure skater training for the national team in Boucherville, Que. He was from Anjou, a good hockey player but too small to go pro. He thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world.Report Typo/Error

Polestar could pre-pack again according to a Sky News report.
The broadcaster said that the £216m turnover print group and its new owner, Proventus Capital Partners, had engaged PriceWaterhouseCoopers to advise on a deal and were in "advanced talks".
Polestar has pre-packed before – in 2011, following a similar cash crisis to the situation that engulfed the group before Christmas, it was sold to Sun Capital Partners in a pre-pack deal that allowed it to jettison a £38.5m pension liability, while still paying its trade creditors.
At the time Polestar's then chief financial officer Peter Johnston told PrintWeek that without keeping the trade creditors whole, the business would have been likely to fail. For this reason a CVA had not been viewed as a viable option.
Apart from trade creditors, the finance deal for its three new Goss web presses is among Polestar's largest current liabilities. Polestar UK Print has a $25.5m (£18m) charge on its accounts which relates to a lease agreement with Shanghai Electric Europa Leasing and Standard Chartered Bank (China).
Since Swedish investment group Proventus took over the ownership of Polestar in December the company has installed four of its own directors to Polestar's board. It loaned Polestar £90m a year ago.
Sky News reported that Proventus was expected to emerge from any pre-pack as the controlling shareholder.
Polestar's financial year ends on 30 September. Its results for the year to 30 September 2015 have not yet been filed, and are widely expected to be poor, due to the huge costs associated with the disruption the group experienced in the pre-Christmas trading period in 2014 when it absorbed the Time Inc UK work at the same time as its new web presses came on stream. The group lost £14.5m on sales of £216.4m in 2014.
Proventus said it had no comment to make on the Sky News report or its content.

I have the same problem it will only run with the pendilum off it looks like someone has oiled it also. What can i use to take off the oil before putting the correct oil back on.

The Ministry of Finance has proposed the Government to revise the Law on Personal Income Tax (PIT) to increase the taxable income threshold and dependant deductions in accordance with the current economic situation.
The revision, expected to be approved by the National Assembly in 2014, is a move to improve living standards at a time when prices continue to rise as a result of the global financial crisis and recession.
The taxable income threshold is expected to increase from the current VND4 million to VND6 million (US$S286) per month while the dependant deductions will be from VND1.6 million to VND2.4 million (US$114) each.
Speaking at a press conference held yesterday in Ha Noi, Deputy Head of the ministry's Tax Policies Department Nguyen Van Phung said the revision was suitable as it was researched and developed based on GDP growth, fluctuations in the consumption price index (CPI), the project on salary policy reform, sociological survey results conducted by the General Department of Statistics and references to international research and experiences.
According to Deputy Minister of Finance Vu Thi Mai, the revision will result in a deficit of about VND8,150 billion (US$388), which would not have a significant impact on the State budget.
The revision also cuts the highest tax level of 35 per cent levied on monthly income of VND80 million (US$3,809) or more.
If the revision were approved by the National Assembly, the PIT bracket would maintain six tax levels. For example, people who earn a monthly taxable income of less than VND5 million, the PIT rate is 5 per cent; for income between VND5 million and VND10 million, the tax rate goes up to 10 per cent. Monthly income from VND52 million to VND80 million is subject to the highest tax rate of 30 per cent. – VNS

I got two e-mails and a blog comment yesterday from people saying they've missed me and my blog. How sweet. Thank you, friends. Y'all aren't the only ones. I miss myself. I haven't had time (or the will) to blog, write e-mails, write creative stuff, or even read very much. I wake up, I work out, I go to work, I practice piano at lunch, I stay at work until 7:30 or so, and I come home. That's pretty much life these days.
No, I'm not Depressed. (Yay!) I won't lie--I've had a low-grade depression thing going on for a couple of weeks, as well as a migraine that kept me home from work last Friday--but the job, aside from the long hours and the commute, isn't at all stressful. It's easy, in the way that tech writing jobs are easy for professional tech writers. It's fun. It's like a game. I have no complaints about the job itself.
Except for the fact that I can't access my personal e-mail because Gmail is blocked. Grr. So I check e-mail for two minutes at 5 a.m., and for about 8 minutes before I fall asleep at 9:30. Which is why no one but no one has heard a peep from me in weeks.
There you go!
So, here's the latest news, for anyone who is wondering:
1) Hub and I are thinking about buying a big ole farmhouse near the Appalachian Trail. Coincidentally, it's also about 12 minutes from my place of employment.
2) Warning: This one is a TMI topic: Last week I had reason to believe that Hub and I were pregnant (we're not, nor we were planning to become so). I went through three pregnancy tests in two days. Those pregnancy tests are like M&Ms, or cupcakes--I think, "OK, I'm just going to take one, and that's all, no more until tomorrow or the next day or the next ..." And thing I know, those three-for-the-price-of-two-$16-plastic-pee-sticks are gone.
3) I've made a really good friend at work! Her anagram is Broccoli Warpath Gal, which is fitting because she is very determined to eat right, exercise, etc. Kinda like me.
4) I've graduated, so to speak, from the Bach and Liszt pieces I've been working on forever. I also graduated from the Schumann short piece. But I'm going to keep playing 'em for the rest of the year and wait until January to start Beethoven, Shostakovich, Schubert, and ... you guessed it ... Bach. Except for the Bach, I'll be working on short, not-so-difficult pieces because that's all my schedule allows for these days.
5) Hubster is doing great. His beard is all full and mountain-man-like. I love it when he adopts the Grizzly Adams look.
I hope we can get that old farmhouse. A grand piano would fit nicely there, and the non-commute to work will allow for more writing time.

Canadian dairy giant Saputo, which has made an unconditional $515 million takeover bid for Warrnambool Cheese and Butter, said it now holds 3.73 per cent of voting power in Australia's oldest dairy maker.
In a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange, Montreal-based Saputo said it has raised its holding, which was previously just 0.78 per cent. On Monday, it said its offer was unconditional as it raised its bid to $9.20 a share, subject to achieving majority control, from the earlier $9-a-share bid.
There is market speculation that WCB board members, who combined control about 2 per cent of the company's shares, have accepted the Saputo bid for their personal holdings. In a statement on Monday, WCB chairman Terry Richardson said directors and executives intended to accept the amended Saputo offer "without delay".
The revised offer from Saputo on Monday raised the ante with rival bidder Murray Goulburn Co-operative, which earlier said it was considering increasing its offer which is conditional on securing approval from competition regulators. Murray Goulburn owns a 18.4 per cent stake in WCB while Bega Cheese, which has offered a mix of cash and scrip, owns 17.8 per cent.
Japan's Lion, which owns 9.9 per cent of WCB, has not yet revealed if it will back any of the takeover offers.
WCB shares closed 2 per cent higher at $9.23 on Monday, indicating the market is holding out some hope of an increased offer from one of the suitors.

Detective City: High Rise Private Eyes
The extremely prolific author, Cynthia Rylant, has an easy reader series, High Rise Private Eyes featuring soft-boiled detectives of the furry variety. There are eight books in the series. They are very dialogue heavy and while they are fun easy readers, I wouldn't necessarily recommend them as a read aloud. Reading dialogue fluently is an important skill for every budding reader to practice, but unless the parent enjoys dramatics, it might not make for the most interesting listening experience. (Although it could be argued that listening to dialogue is important, too. So what do I know?)
Nonetheless, my six year old very much enjoys reading this series on his own. The characters Jack (the "snoop"), and Bunny (the "brains") banter and cajole their way through the city while solving minor crimes, like missing sugar cubes and lost whistles. Various urban locales are represented such as: apartments, parks, diners and high-class hotels. I've always liked G. Brian Karas' illustrative style, and I think your kids will, too.
So, if you have an early reader, check out a couple of these books for him to test drive.
Big Kid says: Mom, I need #7 next.

oh my goodness! i must respectfully disagree - these are our favorite read alouds!!!!! rylant has been great for us in that they are nice big kid books for which even the little one will sit and be enraptured.
actually, M and i will sometimes say to each other "concentrate, jack!" in the same jack-bauer-from-24 way we say it when we read the book. (ok i say we but he gets full credit for that inspiration)
anyway, yes, love high rise private eyes. big time.

Pirates' youth taking shape
WASHINGTON — A little more than a year ago, Jose Tabata, Neil Walker and Andrew McCutchen were all biding their time in the minors.
On Wednesday, when Tabata was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis to make his debut against the Washington Nationals, the trio formed the top part of the Pirates' batting order. It's a combination manager John Russell hopes to be able to use for years to come.
"These guys are pretty young, and we're going to have them for a long time," Russell said. "We're happy these guys are here. It means we're definitely headed in the right direction. It's exciting."
Tabata, 21, started in left field and batted leadoff. McCutchen, 23, who'd been atop the order the previous nine games, hit third. Walker, 24, who has six multi-hit games in 12 starts, stayed in the No. 2 spot.
"Jose belongs at the top of the order because he can run, he can do some things with the bat, he uses the whole field," Russell said. "It's not out of the question that Andrew might bat leadoff again, and Jose might bat second, because that's a good combination. But with Neil swinging the bat pretty well, Andrew is a guy who can fill that (third) spot very well now."
It shouldn't be too much longer before the Pirates have a power-hitting option to fill the No. 3 hole — Pedro Alvarez. The Pirates' top draft pick in 2008 is the last of their "Big Three" prospects still in the minors.
Yesterday afternoon, Alvarez, 23, came up a single shy of hitting for the cycle in Indy's 5-3 victory over Pawtucket. He is batting .286 with 12 homers, and has collected 50 RBI in 60 games.
"You can't forget about him," Russell said. "We know he's there. He's really developing. We're not going to pick a (callup) date. We want to make sure he's ready to come up. Pedro is getting close."
Two months shy of his 22nd birthday, Tabata reached the majors maybe a bit sooner than he expected. Indy manager Frank Kremblas called Tabata into his office Tuesday.
"He played with me a little bit," Tabata said. "He said, 'If you don't play good, this is what happens. Open that (envelope).' I said, Why• What's happened to me?
"When I opened it, I saw the (plane ticket to Washington) and I said, 'Wow.' My first thought was of my Mom. I've talked to her every day, and she's told me, 'C'mon, baby, you can do it.' I cried a little bit."
Tabata hit .322 in 48 games as Indy's leadoff hitter. In 172 games since the Pirates acquired him in a July '08 trade, Tabata has hit .308.
In his first at-bat last night, Tabata — who dropped 8 pounds over the winter to gain some zip on the basepaths — reached on an infield single.
"It's a big leap, but it's the same (game), just a little bit faster," Tabata said. "I'll try to do the same things I did at Indianapolis."

dom grant 14th August 2017
"I cannot praise Centrona Gas highly enough, I called today and spoke to Chris who talked me gave me 2 options with regards to getting my boiler repaired and was informed me that he had an engineer available this afternoon, he explained that i will need to make payment upon booking which was a bit of a surprise, however i felt at ease as i was not pressured or hard selled into going ahead with a booking. Paul the engineer talked me through the problem and explained things to me in a clear way for me to understand. My whole experience was very smooth, professional and best of all saved me money in the process as i was advised by another company that my boiler was beyond repair and required replacing. Very please will be using Centrona for future work"

Mostly straight forward install
Reviewed By Fileno A (Redmond, WA) Reviewed for a 2013 Audi S4 —3/20/2017 11:11 AM
Good directions make this an easy install even for a guy who hasn't worked on cars for the last 25 years. Things to know: the bridge is tight and so are the slots for the pads. Prior to bed in, knocking (not under braking)may occur. Less grabby than the OEM brakes. Track day in two weeks will tell the tale of the tape.

Excessive Battery Use?
View Single Post

Join Date: Jan 2012
Location: Ellicott City, MD
Device: Nook simple touch, iPad 2
I am at least going to give it a shot on an exchange (hopefully for a new unit). Part of what worries me is that the battery was completely flat out of the box, which makes me think a bum battery. The battery gauge is also the most innaccurate thing I have ever seen in my entire life.
There still seems to be some drain going on for me, even with reseting after a charge, but not as bad. It is hard to tell though.
Last night I checked at about 8:30pm, the battery reported as 93%, then 5 minutes later when I "double checked" it was to 96% again. I checked again at around 10:30pm and it read 95%. I went to sleep, woke up and checked it at about 6:30am and it read 91% for about 3 seconds and then flashed 71%. Crap. I checked it again right before leaving my house 5 minutes later and it read 70%. I got in to work a few minutes ago, checked it again and it read 70% for a second, and then back to 91%.
The temperature variation on the device can't be more than maybe 2-3F at any point in checking it (with the exception that checking it after getting in to work it might have been a little cooler without having fully warmed from having been in my brief case in a cold car for a 15 minute drive).
So to a degree I am willing to chalk it up to a horribly innaccurate battery meter to some degree, so long as there appears to be no significant drain continuing. I am going to try topping it off on my computer tonight both to go in to my 8 day vacation (starting tomorrow) with a full battery charge, and see if topping off on a computer combined with a reset/power off does anything (maybe even simply recalibrates the battery meter a little more?).
If I still seem to have bad drain (battery not lasting the length of the vacation) than I am going to try to exchange it the weekend I get home and hope they will do that (it was a gift and I don't have the gift recipte, I stupidly threw it out) and hope I have better luck with the next one.
If I just can't get the battery to work properly than, I also am going to be stuck going with a Kindle. I dislike that because I also generally like the hardware on the nook touch better, with the exception of these battery issues, and generally like the interface/OS/Software on the nook better as well (I'd change a few things, but mostly I like it).
Having 3GB of user accessible storage (without needing an SD card) and a working battery would be nice. I'll miss the physical page turn buttons, shelves, fast paging and slightly smaller size/weight though (I also HATE having a power button on the bottom of the device, I know darn well I'll end up powering it off plenty of times by accident reading on it). I NEED something that is going to last more than a week on a single charge though.

Women's Michael Eau de Parfum by Michael Kors , 1.7 ounces
1 Recommendation
Makifallenangel's recommendation
Like his fashion collection, the fragrance feels both comfortable and rich. Familiar notes are combined in unprecedented, bold ways to create a polite and traditional yet exotic and sensual fragrance. The sophisticated, sensual fragrance blends: Top notes: Creamy florals meet exotic spices. The mix of dewy freesia and Moroccan incense conjures up images of Hawaii, St. Barth's, and Marrakech. Middle notes: Tuberose, blue orris, white wings peony, and arum lilies carries you to New York, London, and Beverly Hills. Bottom notes: Cashmere woods, musk, and vetiver, notes which bring to life the glamorous nightlife of Palm Beach and St. Tropez.Both the 3.4- and the 1.7-ounce eau de parfum sprays are in glass bottles with faceted Ms. Platinum-finished metal spray caps. In innovative, luxurious boxes with camel suede inner boxes and shining platinum outer boxes.

Buick Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Instructions on how to replace the Buick Centry master brake cylinder.
The problem is seperateing the Mastercylinder and the ABS unit. The ABS cover gives a warning of severe injury. I would like to avoid this possibility.
Thanks for your help...Jim
Ok but I need more info before I sign off (the Accept Answer button).
When you mention a scan tool, Could you be more specific? To me scan tool sounds like you wave a wand over the whole device and the energy of the of the ABS unit relaxes itself.
How does it work? and what type of shop should I go to? A Buick dealer, PepBoys, or do you have a suggestion more likely to do this?
I have already remover the Mastercylinder/ABS. Can I just take this unit to the shop and they can do it without the car ALDL access?
This is a setback for me.
I guess the scan tool is too expensive to purchase or rent?
This means I will have to reassemble the MC/ABS which means any shop will not let one do his own brake job with their scan toll.
I guess owners can't do their own MC/ABS replacement, right?

Wikia began testing its new chat function in early march both here and on muppets wiki. A few months later it was released on Camp Half-blood Roleplaying Wiki; the wiki I am considered by many to be "from". About a month after this, it was released wiki-wide. During the entirety of this period, and then for a few months post-release, chat functioned almost perfectly. It not only formed a stable core around which our community was built but it also allowed us to much more easily welcome new users and make them feel at home. In effect, chat served as the heart of our community and to refuse to enter chat was more or less to refuse active participation in the society we had built for ourselves. As the wiki grew and we became increasingly extroverted, chat formed the channel through which we were able to form bonds and ties with other communities exhibiting similar interests and goals. Chat became the web of interconnectivity that allowed us, all of us, to feel part of something greater; a common community and ultimately part of wikia itself.
Now, I've been on wikia for about four years and as such I've seen quite a few wikis of nearly all varieties. The majority of these tend to be extremely introverted and reclusive, interested in their specific site only. Even then, many of these go further still and form tiny exclusive communities who care only about their own actions and edits. In effect, we end up with a thousand small shelled communities sitting utterly inert throughout the structure that is wikia. These wikis are so inert, so introverted, that they often couldn't care less whether they were part of wikia or not. To them, nothing beyond the borders of their world/wiki matters. In my eyes, this is not only a sad sight for me as a wikia user, but I believe it should be equally sad in the eyes of the wikia staff. As wikia grows and prospers it is only natural that it should attempt to increase its levels of connectivity, and expand the sense of being a member of more than one specific wiki. Now, instead being a member of Wookieepedia, or Harry Potter wiki we become members of wikia itself; becoming part of a larger community, a larger cause, and a larger future. To me, chat was a promising catalyst capable of realizing this, and yet despite all the potential it held something happened somewhere along the way.
About a month ago, wiki chat began freezing, lagging significantly, and even more recently began "bouncing" users; preventing them from accessing chat at all for hours at a time. Now, I understand that for many wikis and communities this problem is negligible. A large percentage of wikis I've seen either don't have chat on, barely use it, or resort to off-site IRCs to communicate. Yet, we should probably ask ourselves a few questions. Why are these wikis resorting to other methods to chat? Why do so many wikis refuse to care? Perhaps because wikia chat has, in effect, been left to rot on the wayside while newer projects Wikia Inc has more interest in shoulder their way to the front. For all intents and purposes, wikia chat is the runt of the pack that was left to die without cause or care. Many here may disagree with me, but in my eyes chat held too much potential to be left to this fate and even if you do disagree with me, I think there is one fact that you cannot refute. Wikia chat in its current state sets an abhorrent example. Wikia prides itself in its sleek functionality, simplicity, and progressive attitude towards web development and yet here we have this chat, which was once its pride and joy, dragging along as if it were a dead and diseased limb loosely attached only by the skin. Any reasonable surgeon would advocate its removal, as would any individual with common sense. What we always desired from chat was functionality, and yet when chat makes itself utterly unusable day in and day out, this functionality might as well have never existed. Perhaps, instead of focusing its resources on new developments many despise like Message Wall, wikia should clean up its act and fix what is broken before moving on to build on top of it. A house without a stable foundation is doomed to fall, as is anything.
Thus, I pose two simple questions:
- What happened?
- What are you going to do about it?
Yes, I've seen the page entitled "Chat" and yet, amidst all the mentions of improvements not one mention of fixing the issues that make chat entirey unusable for hours at a time is visible. No, instead a list of potential additions is present; a list of bells and whistles and nice pretty lights for us to look at in awe. I'm sorry, but none of those are going to help until chat itsef is fixed. I wouldn't be posting this blog if I had heard mention of a fix or at least some attempt to make one. If people are fixing chat, where are they? If Wikia cares, where is it? I just get an overwhelming sense that Wikia couldn't care less anymore and simply saying "Oh, we have people on it" isn't really going to convince me. This has been happening for 4 to 6 weeks, some action would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Notebooks at Work
- 01.20.09
- Moleskine, Personal, productivity, record-keeping, career, note-taking, professional, uses, work
- 5 Comments
I've been thinking a lot about how people use notebooks at work. Yesterday's post showed a few of Obama's staff with notebooks among the tools of their trade. Certain professions use notebooks as a matter of course: reporters, for one. If you look at the Alwych website, they describe their notebooks as being used by "the Police, tanker and delivery drivers, milkmen, etc." Maybe some of these occupations now have computerized ways of recording information, but not everything has to go high tech– I believe scientists also have to record their findings in notebooks that are dated and carbon-copied, so they can prove they haven't faked their results.
My own office job is nowhere near as interesting as any of that, but it definitely requires note-taking. At meetings with my colleagues, I look around the room and notice a variety of notebooks. More and more are Moleskines lately. Some people use other brands of journals. Then there are many people who use the standard boring spiral notebooks that are available from the supply room for free.
I tend to use a combination of things for taking notes– if there is a handout at a meeting, I write in the margins and on the backs of pages. Sometimes I recycle the backs of old printouts of reports. Sometimes I use plain paper in a 3-ring binder. But occasionally, I use whatever notebook I currently have going for my own personal stuff. It's my favorite thing to write in, and I also tend to doodle a lot in meetings, so it's nice to keep those little drawings. But in a way, I feel like it's a waste to use a nice Moleskine on work stuff. And Moleskines aren't cheap– why should I spend my own money on something I use for work? (Though since I itemize my tax deductions, I can at least claim them as an unreimbursed business expense!)
How about you? What do you use for notetaking at your job? Do you mix business and personal when it comes to notebooks?
5 Responses to "Notebooks at Work"
business requires my Franklin Dayplanner, 2-page/day format. I need to track notes to specific dates/times. I use the Franklin system to index business tasks each month. Been doing it for almost 15 years, that has to define habituation. My binder also contains several tabs for job and personal items where I write almost daily: bicycle, health, finance, current job projects, house projects, other stuff including sketches and storyboards.
My pocket moles are personal journals and sketchpads and they are much more portable than the binder so they go non-job places the binder doesn't. I often need to transcribe notes form one to the other which reinforces it.

I mostly use legal pads at work, tearing the sheets off and filing them in binders appropriate to the subject matter I was taking notes on. I have been getting really tired of the terrible quality legal pads at work so when I happened to see a Rhodia pad at Border's I decided to buy it. It was really expensive for a work pad. I need another option.
I also love my plain pocket Moleskine and carry it everywhere, but like you I can't seem to bring myself to use it for my day job. For planning short stories and other fiction, yes — but not for the 9-5 gig. 🙂
I also usually have a larger Moleskine or Clairefontaine notebook in tow — again, not to be sullied with boring work stuff.
At work I mostly write on the meeting agenda handout, as you mentioned you also do.
I'm a nurse and I use a plain spiral notebook to take report on. I use a two page spread for each day. For really important stuff, like monthly summary lists, diabetics, people on O2, etc., I use an A5 Daytimer. Works for me.
I use a small legal pad for meetings. Then, after the meetings I'll hole punch the pages to go in my Franklin Planner. I'll also keep a photocopy in a file or binder specific to that project. Oh the stories my planner could tell. (insert maniacal laugh here.)

NEW YORK (Jan. 11)
In tribute to peace efforts and coinciding with the opening of the Egyptian-Israeli political committee talks in Jerusalem Jan. 16, WQXR, the radio station of the New York Times, will broadcast a program on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. focusing on the topic "Peace Through Music."
The program will be devoted to the compositions of Issachar Miron and will include "Ufi Ruach" (Blow Gentle Breeze) composed by him and which was the first Hebrew song played by Radio Cairo Station last Nov. 26 after President Anwar Sadat announced the Cairo conference. Miron, a renowned Israeli composer, former music deputy in the Israeli Ministry of Education and Culture and officer-in-chief of art and humanities of the Israel Defense Forces during the War of Independence, commented: "People can't sing in harmony one night a week and be enemies for the rest of the time. If we sing in harmony, we can also live in harmony."

I wanted to design a rectangular shawl around this magnificent lace edging, found in Sharon Miller's book 'Heirloom Knitting'. The central pattern echoes the diamonds in the border but is much quicker to knit, and the tiny picot edging that finishes the long sides is simplest of all.

"When I was younger, I was so inspired by Barbie," Duff said. "She has been a role model for my friends and me. I love her style and her spirit!" Yup, none in this world could stop Duff's move, not even her two alleged stalkers.

Audible.com 1/2 price sale, about 1000 audiobook titles
In case anyone is interested....
Not all the audiobooks on the site, just about 1000 they've picked as representative of their categories. Some very nice choices (several Orson Scott Card titles, several Neal Stephenson books, Alex Haley, Alan Greenspan)....writers of similar stature in all categories.
I believe the sale is members-only, but I think that means you only have to sign up for a login. It might mean you need a current subscription. Since I have a subscription, I get the sale offer, can't tell if people without subscriptions who create logins will also get the offer.
They state the sale goes on for 1 week, but I don't know when the week began or will end. I have emailed them to ask.

Angry Birds Space gets announced by NASA astronaut in space
14 Comments
1. cepcamba (Posts: 717; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
I read somewhere you have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars, and train for around a year to ride a space craft. So how much did it cost to advertise Angry Birds this way?
3. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1121; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
Must have been alot of money for a real live astronaut to demonstrate a game like that in space. i must say that Angry Birds has hit a whole new level of greatness and i cant wait for the update...........and to buy the Galaxy Note
5. cepcamba (Posts: 717; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
I'm with you on the Galaxy Note thing :p I don't care whatever they say, I want it.

not hundreds of millions but virgin airlines offered to fly you to space for $2 millions but again that wasnt a sucess and adverising is done by an astronaut who is already a trained person so keep all the figures i wont' be above hundred thousands
7. cepcamba (Posts: 717; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
My bad, not hundreds of millions but $15-$30M.
The hundreds of thousands you're referring to is just for sub-orbital flights. Not really outer space.

Henry William Taunt (1842–1922) was a professional photographer based in Oxford, England. His studio was in Broad Street, Oxford.
Henry Taunt was born in Penson's Gardens in the parish of St Ebbe's, Oxford.[1] He was the son of a plumber and glazier, also Henry, and his wife Martha, who came from West Ilsley in Berkshire.
At the age of 14, Taunt joined Edward Bracher as a member of staff in 1856 at his photographic premises based at 26 High Street, Oxford.[2][3] In 1868 he set up his own photographic business in Oxford. Moving from his Broad Street studio, Taunt traded from 1894–95 at 41 High Street, Oxford and later moved to 34 High Street; remaining here from 1895 until 1906.[4] After this time he moved all his work to his home on Cowley Road.
In 1893 Henry Taunt was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. This was a substantial honour in recognition of the notable feat of cartography and accuracy of measurements that featured in the New Map of the Thames.
Henry Taunt's black-and-white photographs are mainly views of Oxford, Oxfordshire (and surrounding counties) and the River Thames. He produced the first pocket guide to the River Thames to be illustrated with photographs. In the 1860s, it covered the upper Thames, but it expanded its range over several editions. The wet collodion process, invented by Frederick Scott Archer, was the best means to capture negative images on glass until the end of the 1870s, by which time many of Taunt's pictures for his Illustrated Map of the Thames had been taken. He would row his skiff to a location, set up his dark tent, set up his camera and tripod, sensitise and coat the glass plate, immediately make the two- or three-second exposures, develop and fix the images, wash them in river water, perhaps dry them in the sun and row back to his lodgings or set up camp with his assistants. At the beginning of the 1860s this was an notable feat of skill. Henry Taunt was at the forefront of Victorian location photographic technology.
Taunt's photographs are reproduced in many books (e.g., see below) and form a useful historical record of social history and architecture. Major collections of his work are held by English Heritage: 14,000 images, Oxfordshire County Council: Oxfordshire Studies and the River and Rowing Museum at Henley-on-Thames.[5]

Crews were called to the former Cock Robin pub in Cavendish Square, Park South, on Monday afternoon.
Glyn Moody, from Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, said empty buildings were often used by children to play in.
"If only they understood the dangers within these buildings I'm sure they would think twice before entering them," he said.
"There is also a concern for firefighters having to enter these buildings to extinguish the fire," Mr Moody said.
"There are many hazards for them to overcome and is a dangerous environment to work in."
