Many toddlers have an aversion to strong flavours; this pasta dish is mild but tasty enough for the whole family to enjoy. Older children may appreciate a garnish of chopped green onions and crumbled cooked bacon.
Egg N Cheese PastaQuick RatingClose Click to add your rating. Saving... Error Saving
Burrito Casserole
This hearty, family-pleasing meal is a Tex-Mex lover's delight. Use 1-3/4 cups (425 mL) of whatever PC salsa you have on hand; you could also add 1 can of drained corn in with the beans.
Vegetable Bolognese Pizza
When you just need to get dinner on the table, this is the pizza to make. Our Bolognese sauce has a "meaty" texture, but is vegetarian. Check the label on your mozzarella if you're serving vegetarians; some mozzarella cheese contains rennet.
Tomato Macaroni with Cheese
Picky eaters in your family? Gently expand their palates with this comfort-food favourite that takes a mac 'n cheese staple and modifies it slightly.
Two Cheese Spring Pizza
A quick "pesto" made of arugula gives this pizza a peppery fresh taste. Slice into smaller wedges for an amazing appetizer or party snack.
Mushroom Asparagus Strata with Multigrain Bread
Strata makes a great brunch dish, especially since you can do all the work the night before. This mushroom-goat cheese combo is perfect for company.
South of the Border Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Corn and bean salsa gives this grilled cheese a Tex-Mex twist. Plant sterols have been shown to decrease your LDL cholesterol (the bad one) by an average of 10%.
Spicy and Cool Roasted Cauliflower
A delicious contrast between the spicy cauliflower and the cooling yogurt makes this a fabulous vegetable side dish to serve with your favourite curry.
Spinach, Fig and Goat's Cheese Thin Crust Pizza
Here's a delicious pizza topping combo you may never have thought of. Serve with hot pepper flakes on the side, for those who like to spice up their pizza.
Leek-Stuffed Mushroom Caps
When you're trying to eat healthy, hors d'oeuvre- often high fat, salty affairs- are a challenge. You can enjoy our leek-stuffed mushrooms without blowing your healthy eating goals. Serve this elegant bite-sized nibble at your next party.

Each time I go into Puerto Iguazu from Hostel Inn I pass by a 'parilla' (grill house specialising in meat) that always looks extremely busy. It's called Las Canitas. This evening I ate there and I can safely say it's up there with the best restaurants in Argentina.
Upon walking in myself and Richie were a bit put off by the loud music. But after a while we got into the swing of things and were clapping along. This was down to one factor – everyone else was doing the same thing.
As it is a 'parilla', we both ordered steak. Costing just $30 pesos, we both feel we found a right little gem (you won't find it in many guides) in Puerto Iguazu. Don't miss if you like top quality cheap steak with live music to accompany.
In our hostelworld.com travel blog we bring you all the latest company news and information on new additions to the site including podcasts, videos and more. You'll also get inside information on a variety of destinations across the globe as they're visited by our travel editor and writers.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The design was beautiful and the paper quality is fantastic, yet not costing a fortune. We both like the simple elegance of the design to keep our theme of tranquility."
"The save the dates were the perfect design to capture the feel of our wedding. The designer I worked with was so personable and helped me get the exact color I wanted. The customer service was excellent. Everyone I spoke with was incredibly helpful and willing to do anything they could to make my experience as easy as possible. The only thing I would do differently is that in the future I hope Wedding Divas adds a service to address the envelopes."
"I really appreciated that I could add in the "special notes" section to add another option for our kids food choice. When the cards arrived it looked like another option was always meant to be there. It was not cramped or at the bottom of the page as a last thought. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I loved that I could change the font and size to match what I was looking for. They also gave me the option of different colors to make my color scheme. The price was amazing for such elegant wedding invitations."
"I used these as my response cards, I customized it to not have the meal options on the bottom. They looked great with just the Accepts or Declines options on the bottom. I used the pink and green text and it looked just as it did online. Excellent paper quality and very beautiful look!"

Titles similar to Romeo Blue
This absorbing follow-up to The Romeo and Juliet Code (2011) picks up with the Bathburns in Bottlebay, Maine, one year later and with WWII in full swing. Flissy hasn't heard a word from her parents, who are spies missing in Europe, but keeps herself occupied with her love interest, Derek, the boy the Bathburns unofficially adopted. When a man shows up claiming to be Derek's long-lost father, Flissy struggles to keep her suspicions about him to herself. Soon, Mr. Henley, the local postman and poet, is called for duty in North Africa; Aunt Miami joins a USO traveling production of Romeo and Juliet; and Gideon, Flissy's biological father, undertakes a secret mission. Intrigue and mysteries abound: Who is "the Moth Man"? What is Gideon doing in France? Will everyone come home alive? Our 13-year-old narrator captures the effect of the upheaval on her life and her family as she transitions, perhaps prematurely owing to her circumstances, from child to adult. Stone evokes time and place beautifully, with descriptions of blackout curtains and the war effort—not to mention the stormy coast of Maine—and her passages about war feel relevant today ("Here in such a lush and green world, why do people hurt and kill one another and why is there such a thing as war?") Compelling, and with plenty of heart and soul.

Hi - I have a 2011 Enclave with only 54K miles making the 'rubbing' sound when I turn the steering wheel at low speeds. I was told at the dealer this was a worn rubber part that needs to be replace. Cost $225. This steering problem seems to be common. What is GM prepared to do about this problem? - Thanks, - TedApril 23
hello gmcustscv,
you responded to the comment I am pasting below, I am having the same problem with my 2012 traverse now and the dealerships I have taken it to say they cant replicate the problem and they refuse to read any of these forums and they said chevy does not take the comments and complaints on these forums into consideration when I am trying to explain the problem but other people are having the same issue, what should I do?---- Carla

Has anyone experienced your 2011 Traverse having a sudden loss of power and loss of acceleration followed by error messages for both the traction control and stabilitrak systems?? This is the 4th trip to the dealer when for my car lossing all power following by the above error messages. There is no warning only ding.ding..ding and loss of power!! The dealer has said it was a sensor problem, then tried taking out the transmission and working on its sensors, and today they say it is a throttle body issue. Help! Has anyone else had this issue and what finally fixed your car?? Thank you for your help! My car has been having this issue for the past 8 months and has about 65,000 miles. Prior to this there were no big issues or problems with the car.April 22
gmcustsvcHi carlaesq,
I do understand the importance of having this issue with your Chevrolet Traverse corrected and apologize that the dealership has been unable to resolve this matter for you. If you can send me your full contact information, VIN and dealership name via private message, I can begin looking more into this for you and try to reach out to your dealership. I can also be reached by email at email@example.com [attn Amber]. Please include your screen name. Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

I've had so many issues with my 2011 chevrolet equinox. To many issues to list. My car has died on me at least 10 times while driving in traffic, once died as I was approaching railroad tracks. Now, my car has over 100,000 miles and I've had to pay $1500 since January 2014 for the same issues I've had at 35,000 miles on my car. Please help!! GM nor my dealership will help me.April 12

Have the rough idle on 2011 GMC Terrain, took it to Nimnicht GMC in Jacksonville FL where I purchased the vehicle. They said it sounds like a failing timing chain. Took it in for repair, and they said my fuel pump was noisy so they replaced it too. Truck ran good for about a month and now has the rough/noisy idle again. Have sinced moved to Hawaii (US Navy) and am currently deployed. Wife drives suv and the stabilitrak service light has came on. Took it to Honolulu Cadillac GMC, but stated that it probably wouldn't be covered under warranty. Also told us that the timing chain in fact has not been replaced, but that they actually only replaced the tensioner. They hooked it up to the machine and said they didn't find anything, but that the oil was 3 quarts low. And that we should be checking the oil every 2 weeks. The Hawaii dealer has also changed the serpentine belt. And 3 days later light is back on, but don't want to take it back to dealer just to get charged for something else.March 29
gmcustsvcHi navyguy24,
I'm sorry to hear that you experienced rough idling from your Terrain and that your wife is now having vehicle issues while you are deployed. I understand the inconvenience of having to return to the dealership for repairs and I do apologize that your concerns have gone unresolved. If you would like to send me your full contact information, VIN, and mileage I can work on contacting Nimnicht GMC for more details and see what I can do to help. Please feel free to either send me a private message or email at firstname.lastname@example.com [attn Amber]. I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Today, many months after my complaints went unresolved, I hear some Corporate apology BS about more recalls. Although my Yukon did not make the list, it may have in the past, I quit looking. If not, then a future recall will for sure include mine. The reason for this comment is to complain about the brush off on myself as well as others, who just had an obvious manufactured malfunction with the cars we purchased from your company. What is it going to take to get the respect we deserve when we purchased your product? Jgoogle

gmcustsvcHi jgoogle,

I am including the content of my conversation with Mr. Kelly via e-mail. Trevor, ESIS investigates the product claims on behalf of General Motors, LLC (GM). As we discussed today, GM was not able to make a determination as to the cause of the fire to your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado on Feb. 10, 2014 with the information that was submitted. Thank you for your cooperation and patience. Sean Kelly
My response: Mr. Kelly, I have reviewed your response and have formulated a response of my own. Even though GM was unable to determine a cause simply from the photos that does not imply lack of fault on the part of GM. There were multiple recalls in Canada and the U.S. for electrical faults resulting in fires on the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Further there are multiple instances listed on the NHTSA website of complaints relating to electrical fires that were never investigated or followed up on by GM.March 13
trevor76continued: Mr. Kelly,
I have reviewed your response and have formulated a response of my own. Even though GM was unable to determine a cause simply from the photos that does not imply lack of fault on the part of GM. There were multiple recalls in Canada and the U.S. for electrical faults resulting in fires on the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Further there are multiple instances listed on the NHTSA website of complaints relating to electrical fires that were never investigated or followed up on by GM. There are also multiple service bulletins to techs regarding electrical system failures and issues. My own complaint NHTSA ID Number: 10563938 is also listed. I do not believe at this time that GM has taken sufficient effort to investigate or follow up on this issue even though contact information and availability were presented. Furthermore the vehicle was held for 25 days at a Chevrolet dealership before being sent to a second location in NJ, it would have been quite simple for a more detailed analysis on the part of GM to have occurred during that period of time. I am now left without a Truck, and have no money to purchase another one. My insurance company Horace Mann is not even at this time offering to pay off the entire loan of $21000 which leaves me with an outstanding balance of almost $5000 still owed to Wells Fargo plus the $1000.00 deductible I have to pay. I do not think that a truck should catch fire while driving down the highway with no warning of a serious problem, nor do I think that my life should have been endangered because of an electrical system failure these trucks are apparently known for.
I believe that this issue still needs to be resolved and that GM still needs to accept that this is a problem and deal with it. I would also like a copy of the ESIS report for review.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed with this matter.
Trevor J. Gildon
trevor76Mr. Kelly's reply
If you have any evidence that supports your claim of a product failure, please forward it to my attention and I'll have your case reviewed again.
I am not able to provide you with any reports that may have been generated while investigating your claim as those documents are considered privileged and proprietary.
Thank you.
Sean Kelly
My question to you and GM is this:
If you are not going to investigate a claim thoroughly or even take any responsibility for an issue why bother, why not simply state that you are not interested in resolving these kinds of issues. A friend of mine is a reporter for CNN I-report I am wondering what he will do with all of this. I truly feel that GM is letting me down as a customer and not dealing with me fairly on this issue when I have been patient and polite about all of this.
gmcustsvcHello trevor76,
I understand that you are not completely satisfied with the outcome of your case. Unfortunately, at this time I am unable to further discuss this matter with you. Please direct any additional concerns to your specialist.

I have an 07 saturn outlook i have had the same problem since last year.water leaking from my sunroof. the last time i took mine into the dealership they said they could not find a problem so nothing was done. we just had a bad storm this past weekend and my airbags on side panel were leaking and my front passenger carpet was soaked. ive been told by the dealership that the hoses for dranege could not handle that much water so it overfloaded into the car. and the hose is too short. this should be put on recall.. now they want to charge me $450 to replace hoses. what can you do to help with these fees. i also now have mold under my carpets from all the water from rain that has leaked in since last year !! THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALLMarch 7

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra 4x4 I bought new in January 2005. On February 20, 2014 both rear spring shackles rotted off, it is at the dealer now and they say the rear 3ft of frame is badly rusted. The truck is in overall good condition and still looks good. GM refuses to even do anything because of the age of the truck and say its neglect on my part. The truck has 86000 miles and at 9 years old I find this to be insane. It seems to me that a lot of other owners are having undercarriage rust issues with these trucks. I am very disappointed with GM. At least Toyota tried to help their customers when they had the same problem. I have owned a number of New GM products but if they have this attitude toward their customers this will be the last.March 1
gmcustsvcHi edh123,
I certainly understand your frustration, and apologize that you're experiencing rusting on your truck.

I have seen you post replies to several issues in the Saturn Aura Transmission Issues thread (http://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/9503/saturn/aura/saturn-aura-transmission-issues) and I was wondering if you could give me some advice on my situation (posted in that thread and below). Thank you very much for your time!
"I have the 2008 Aura XE and the Transmission Shift Cable broke, however according to the Dealership Technician it is the wrong end of the cable to be covered under the recall (it's the end that attaches to the Transmission when the recall was for the end at the firewall). Because of this they have to replace the whole Shift Cable. Is there anything I can do because this part has already had issues that caused a recall, or do I just have to live with paying for it?

Hi, I have I should say had a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado vin # 2GCEK13V371114943. My truck caught fire on Monday evening as I was driving down the highway approximately 55 mph. It appears to have been a serious electrical fire. The lights on the dash started going on and off and then the red engine light came on and a information screen popped up saying that the battery system was not charging. About 30 seconds later as I was pulling on to the shoulder to look under the hood the engine died and lost all power. Once stopped smoke began to fill the cabin. The door lock on the drive side no longer worked, and I had to exit out a different door. Within about 30 seconds the cockpit was engulfed in flame. Within two minutes the entire truck was fully consumed by flame and the tires began to burn off the frame. The pictures from the paper and the ones I took are unbelievable. Another 30 seconds in the truck and I might not have made it out. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know whyFebruary 12

Hi, i have a 2008 Enclave as well, around 160,000km, and I've taken it to the dealership for this problem before. Same as other users, the radio volume doesn't work in the morning only when cold. Same burping sound in the speakers when you first start it and when using signal. Usually around -5 and below celcius. Problem goes away after 5-10 minutes of warming the car up. The dealership reprogrammed my radio. This didn't help. It was taken in under warranty. The warranty is now over and the problem still exists. What else can I do? thanks!February 5
2009 Acadia / 48K miles FAIL! Warranty expired 9/2013. On 12/14/13 front left axle, and motor mount had to be replaced and the #4 ignition coil. $1300+. Today, the car was towed to an out of town dealer due to failure of #2 and #5 ignition coils. According to dealer service, these fail all the time. When this was brought to your attention this morning you emailed the dealers suggesting I wanted a cost break from them. This is not the dealers' problem...it is your problem! It is even too late to buy a MaxGuard Extended Warranty for these issues (got the quote today). If you're going to pass the buck, I'm going to pass on the 2015 Yukon Denali I am on the list to order at release date and I'll replace my 2012 Traverse LTZ. As for the Acadia...I think your new CEO should drive it, experience the inconvenience and pay for the repairs out of her pocket. Maybe that will get the message across. You make money selling cars. You do not sell cars to unhappy people dealing with a secret problem.January 28

We have a 2008 Buick Enclave. Last Friday, shortly after starting, the vehicle went into a low power condition with these messages: Service Stabilitrak, Service Traction Control, and Engine Power Reduced. After being shut off for 10 minutes it ran fine, but has happened twice since then as well. It appears that if the traction control is shut off, the vehicle runs fine. There appears to be a lot of similar reports on GM crossovers. What is going on?January 13
We apologize for not getting back to you sooner! We would like the opportunity to try and assist with your vehicle concerns. In order to do so, can you please private message us your full name, contact information, VIN, mileage, and preferred GM or Buick dealership?

carlaesqI am having the same problem with my 2012 traverse and the chevy dealerships say nothing is wrong with the car.
My stabilitrak light has been coming on everyday this week along with the reduced engine power that almost shuts down my car. Also, my car hesitates when I stop and start again, then lunges after about three seconds of having my foot on the gas pedal. I'll be taking it to the dealer today. I have a 2010 Chevy Traverse.January 10

carlaesqI am having the same problem with my 2012 traverse, the dealership says they have no record of this happening to other traverses.
Stabilitrak light comes on and traction control shuts off on 2009 Traverse. I called Chevy to find out if there were any recalls and they said no but that there is a recall on your water pump shaft seal. Took Traverse in on 12-6-13 to have a diagnostic run. Get call later that afternoon that the part they need to fix it is on backorder. My response was ok can you order it and we will bring car back in to get it fixed. I am told that the car is not safe to drive and that they will order the part get in on Sat and car should be ready on Monday. Today is 1-5-14 and we still do not have our Traverse back. We are told there is a national parts back order on the part. We were issued a rental. Got a call yesterday that said Chevy was only going to cover up to $532 of the cost of the rental. We are obviously well over that cost now and never told we might be responsible for the cost of a rental. The part that is on national back-order is 20833157 F-harness.January 5
Need to vent a bit. I bought a 2010 Traverse with 16K miles approx. 2 yrs ago. I larger SUV for my wife to haul the children in. She uses it lightly three days a week approx. 8K miles a year.
Maybe 2x in the first year the stabili-trac light came on? but we just shrugged it off as the weather at the time. Then we got a notice to check the coolant level? So we brought it to the dealer had it checked along with the stabili trac. result water pump good. and they "repaired a wire under the seat"
three months later water pump is pouring coolant on my floor and the light has been on 2 more times. the dealer takes care of the pump, and says the battery cable was loose, so now the stabili trac is fixed
drive the van three days coolant is pouring on the floor and light is on?? and the a/c is inop??? back to the dealer, new pump has failed, a/c condenser has failed, and they cleard codes
2nd new pump, new condenser, stabilitrac problems every week now, HELP??January 1
Host of problems with my wife's 2007. 3.5 Impala no heat unless the car is moving , starter went water pump is leaking, oil pressure low stop engine now warning light goes off even after getting it fixed dealer thought if was a sensor apparently it wasn't now the warning light goes off for twice as long and more frequent than it did originally we really like the impala but if these issues can't be fixed with out a hassle with only 97,000 miles we won't be buying another Chevy for a long long while I hear tesla is coming out with a mid price range car that can get hundred of miles on a single charge we only drive on average 50 to 60 miles a week so that is sounding quite appealing rite now ..Dont mean to be rude but GM knows about all these problems and ignores them that is there stance gonna loose a bunch of loyal customers ...Peace !!!December 2013

I have been working at SRA International
Pros – SRA International is a company with a strong focus on fairness, work/life balance, and education. The people are first class and come from all types of backgrounds. I cannot stress the level of equality and fairness this company shows people. It is a company that firmly backs its people and will do its utmost (in addition to the employee) to take care of its people. Perhaps the best thing about SRA is its people. Generally, management is easy to speak with and reason from top-to-bottom in organizational hierarchy. For new college graduates seeking a chance to move around in their career, this is mid-size company that makes educational opportunities and career transitions readily available. There are many benefits but some of which may need to be reexamined periodically to stay current.
Cons – Perhaps the main downside of working with SRA is compensation. They are neither the best nor the worst in the compensation area. In the past, salary raises were due on an employee's anniversary of hire. Now, the company has shifted to a single dated annual cycle to follow a "bell-curve" salary raise system. Only time will tell but the skepticism has been pointed out that this may not allow for employees with exceptionally well performances to be compensated as such. In fact, comparing salaries across other companies on average, SRA seems to have fallen behind regarding market compensation. From experience, living in an area where professionals with upside are highly regarded in specialized fields, it may be tough for SRA to change its compensation structure because of its current size and direction. It has a new CEO, new management, and a great deal of change and currently may go fast in either the right or wrong direction. Unfortunately, only time will tell.
Another issue would be proper career direction. It is imperative that regardless of your company's mold, structure, or requirements that you shape your career accordingly. Before now, career development was mainly a task spearheaded individually. Currently, the company is going through a career development process to help employees reach milestones that define their level of position. This will require both years of experience as well as specific qualifications which may hinder compensation for younger, motivated professionals.
Advice to Senior Management – Senior management for myself have been outstanding. Senior management has never been a problem for myself at SRA. As a matter of fact, SRA has never been a problem for myself. Management does as much as they can to keep confidence in their employees and while nobody is perfect, they tend to be pretty reasonable.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Rhea's appointment is contingent upon the council's approval of a contract at Monday's regular meeting.
Members of a subcommittee interviewed seven attorneys interested in the position and ultimately recommended Rhea based on his municipal experience and lower billing rate.
"It came down to experience and dollars," said Councilman Derek Raulerson, who served on the hiring subcommittee. "Based on the information, we were given, compared to all the others, we'll save about $40 per hour by bringing in this individual."
Councilwoman Sandra Sudduth, who interviewed Rhea before the final decision, said she liked that he had experience working with other cities about the same size as Jacksonville. "He seems to be a person that you can talk to, that's available," she added.
According to a profile on the website for his firm Rhea, Boyd and Rhea, Rhea is a 1984 graduate of the University of Alabama who subsequently earned his J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1989. As a former member of the Alabama Army National Guard, Rhea also represents veterans for service-related claims in addition to his work in municipal law.

Liverpool 1
Lescott (o.g.) 33
City 1
Kompany 31
- Match highlights
- Matchday centre
- Match reports
- 27 November 2011 18:01
- Posted by David Clayton
Joe Hart produced a brilliant display against Liverpool as ten-man City held on for 1-1 draw at Anfield.
The Blues had taken a first-half lead through skipper Vincent Kompany, but the hosts were gifted an equaliser within two minutes following an unfortunate Joleon Lescott own goal.
Though the Blues had chances to score again, Mario Balotelli's late sending off meant it was backs-to-the wall stuff for the last ten minutes – and ultimately it was Hart's heroics that preserved City's unbeaten start to the season.
With just two wins in 42 visits to Anfield, this is hardly a fixture City have looked forward to over the years
...Liverpool 1 City 1.
So often, in fact, have the Blues returned from Merseyside with nothing more than a chastising defeat that many supporters have annually written the match off before it was even played.
Not anymore. Those days are, hopefully, now consigned to history, but nonetheless – this was always going to be a stiff test of City's title credentials.
With the 2-1 defeat to Napoli still fresh in the memory, Micah Richards and Gael Clichy were restored to the starting line-up along with Sergio Aguero, Gareth Barry and Samir Nasri.
Former City favourite Craig Bellamy withdrew from the squad following the tragic death of Wales boss Gary Speed and the one minute silence was impeccably observed by the sell-out crowd.
A few of the Liverpool players had been talking up the meeting between the teams in the Press - as you'd expect - with the odd line of 'especially when you think of the money they've spent' – or quotes to that effect.
If they were accurate, the fact is there was very little difference in terms of transfer fees paid between the two starting XIs – but such trivialities don't make good headlines and as Mark Twain once said, "Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story."
City started well with patient, controlled build-up play during the first half-hour, orchestrated, as ever, by David Silva
...Liverpool 1 City 1
The Blues were the better team and on 31 minutes, that pressure was rewarded when Kompany rose to meet David Silva's corner and knock it past Pepe Reina in emphatic style – albeit via his shoulder!
However, the celebrations were cut short in the cruellest of circumstances with Lescott wafting out a leg and deflecting a wayward Charlie Adam shot past a stranded Hart for a Liverpool equaliser within less than 90 seconds.
The hosts, buoyed by the goal, then almost went ahead after Jordan Henderson and Glenn Johnson both went close, but Aguero also could have restored the Blues' lead seconds before the break.
With Luis Suarez giving a good impression of a dying swan under almost every challenge, as well as asking Martin Atkinson to show a yellow card to his tormentors, the City players' patience was being tested at times.
Barry, Kompany and Balotelli found their way into the official's notebook while Skrtel and Henderson's persistent fouling went unpunished – as did the infuriating fawnings of Suarez. Barry now faces a one-match suspension as the result of his caution.
Liverpool gave a much stronger showing after half-time and were the better team for long periods, going close several times - the misfiring Dirk Kuyt was guilty of a hat-trick of misses
...Liverpool 1 City 1
In a frantic last ten minutes, Balotelli was shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Skrtel, reducing the Blues to ten men, though Silva still had a chance to grab all three points but with just Reina to beat, took too long to fire a weak shot towards goal.
Hart then made two stunning saves in succession at the death to preserve a hard-earned point for City – but a welcome 47th birthday present for Mancini nonetheless.

hey everyone i barely just started today and supposedly im starting the workout tomorrow but im not sure how to start like where do i see the workouts or stuff can i also do this workout without any gym or dumbells? please help me
Go to "Library" in the menu bar, click on "Training". You will find plenty of articles there. I started just doing the basic exercises with weights. I did curls, bench press, shoulder press, dumb bell rows for upper body. For lower body, I did squats, lunges, and lots of floor exercises.
You need some kind of weights. You will quickly outgrow exercises that use your own body for resistance (such as push-ups, sit ups or leg lifts).
Come visit my blog!
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you'll be right!
Ooops. Go to "Library" in the menu bar, click on "Exercise". Then click on "weight training". You'll find a list of exercises for each muscle group. There is also a cardio section.
thiskid_rod, I too just started 2-3 week before. Though I have access to a decent Gym, so few thing are reachable to me. If you want to continue in home then I would suggest go to http://scoobysworkshop.com/ he has tons of tutorial for be beginer like us.
And most of the excercise can be done in home. But atleast if you could afford a dumbell (10lb) that would be gr8.
Created g+ group (April 9th challenge): plus.google.com/108985053528245376879
Until you can purchase dumb bells - I read that you can fill gallon water bottles with water - duh...and control the weight by how much water is in them. It will give you some resistance until you find your dumb bells. K-mart, Wal-Mart are cheapest. Don't forget to search yard sales. If you're starting with light resistance - until you get your DBs- you could also use the resistance bands. Best to you!

Great, Fast service, Good food! – Good service much better than the chain resteraunts that are close. Prices are very good. I tavel to Mexico a lot and like the food here better. I know it has American influence but it is by no means manufactured fast food.
Ehhhh... if you can avoid it, do. – I started going here as a vegetarian and progressively changed to vegan. The service here keeps getting worse. They do not like it when you try to make simple adjustments because of dietary needs. I'll ask for the Vegetarian Fajitas with the beans cooked in vegetable oil instead of lard and also request no cheese or sour cream. It's as if I get one or the other. I'm not even asking them to create an item off their regular menu, just minor adjustments. If you can avoid going to Fiesta Ranchera, do so.

Improper Notarizations, Foreclosure Misconduct Drive Lawsuits Against Mortgage Industry To Record Levels
The number of lawsuits filed against mortgage lenders, servicers and other companies in the industry hit a record high in the third quarter of 2011, according to the most recent release of the Mortgage Litigation Index. Litigation over improper notarizations and other misconduct related to the foreclosure crisis is the number one contributor to the surge in court cases, according to the report.
The Index, which is produced by MortgageDaily.com and Washington, D.C.-based law firm Patton Boggs LLP, counted 218 lawsuits in the third quarter, a 15-percent increase from the second quarter and a 44-percent jump over the same period last year.

Great Fit, Comfort and Experience These "Carter" BKE jeans fit me perfectly and are very comfortable. The quality seems very obvious. I bought these in a Buckle store. What sold me, being a first time customer, was the care and customer service of the company associate. What a difference in the market place your company makes. After many other mediocre company experiences, I'm glad I walked into Buckle. I should have experienced you sooner. Now I'm sold and will be back in-store and online. I already have another pair of jeans back-ordered with the store that I bought these jeans and a shirt from. July 3, 2012

Help:Using AutoWikiBrowserCreate Talk0
This tutorial will lead you through the process of creating a bot using AutoWikiBrowser program.
Step 1: Create your bot account
Note: If you already have a bot account, skip this step
Your bot must use a separate account (for more info check this article). You will probably also wish to create new email for it.
- Make sure your username defines you as a bot
- On the user page of this account; post info about the bots owner and all the needed details (mentioned here). To make it simple you can use this template: Template:Bot (just copy it on your wiki).
- Contact Wikia staff and request a bot flag for this account. It is important, as otherwise you will likely spam your wiki stats.
Step 2: Get the program
Download AutoWikiBrowser on your computer. The scheme of the bot's functioning is:
- Launch AutoWikiBrowser
- Log in to the bot account using AutoWikiBrowser
- Specify what the bot is to do
Step 3: Learn how to use the program
In this example we will set up our bot and then use it to replace a short phrase on many pages of our wiki.
Choosing wiki
- Launch AutoWikiBrowser.
- Go to Options-> Preferences-> Site
- From the drop-down list chose "wikia" and then type the URL of your wiki. In example it is "pl.fandubbing".
- When you are done, save changes with OK button.
Your program will freeze for few seconds. After this on the bottom bar you will see that program is synchronized with the given wiki:
Logging in
As the wiki is already chosen it is time to log on our previously created bot account. In this example the bot is called "fandubbing.wikia" after the wiki name it serves for.
- Go to File-> Log in/Profiles...
- Enter your previously created bot account name and password.
- Accept by pressing "Login" button.
Now the bot is set and ready to work!
Choosing edit options
The example wikia theme is fandubbing (dubbing made by fans), so in this example we will use the bot to replace all badly entered artist names.
- Make a list of pages to edit. In example we chose all pages from category "Teksty"
- Chose the edition options from the middle panel. In this example in "Find and Replace" section we used "Normal Settings" and entered the searched phrase and its replacement.
TIP: To make list of all pages in the main namespace, in the "Make List" panel chose "Special Page" as source. When you press "Make List" additional window should appear. Chose "All Pages", select namespace "Main:" and press OK.
TIP: Untick all settings you are not sure of! To learn more about what all of those do, see this page.
Starting the edits
When you are ready to begin go to the "Start" tab from the middle section..
- Enter the default edit summary. It will be shown as summary of each edit.
- Press Start!
The program will start searching through the previously listed pages. When it finds the phrase it searches for, it will apply all previously defined changes and show them in the center window.
In case you are not satisfied with the changes you can edit the page using the edit box on the right.
When you are done press "Save" to save changes. Otherwise press "Skip" to leave the page unchanged.
TIP: In "Skip Options" tab check the option "Skip if no changes are made". Now program will auto skip pages on which nothing was changed.
Fully automatic bot
The example above shows semiautomatic editing. It is quite fast and safe, as you can control each change being made. However, if you wish you can go to "Bots" tab and check "Auto save" option.
AutoWikiBrowser will now save each change automatically, without any confirmation. Use this option with care, running a few semiautomatic edits before turning auto save on to test if the bot is functioning properly is a must.

Cleveland Cavaliers – Team analysis
by Jason on Oct.23, 2009, under Team analysis
Studs: LeBron James, Mo Williams
Duds: Zydrunas Ilgauskas
The Cavs are definitely sporting a new look this year, thanks mostly to the arrival of Shaquille O'Neal, who will start at center and relegate Ilgauskas to the bench. This is a bit unfortunate for Big Z, since he has somehow managed to remain productive despite being incredibly creaky and slow. Expect him to see about 18-20 minutes a night, which will drastically decrease his production, though a better-rested Ilgauskas could produce decent numbers when O'Neal sits out of games.
O'Neal has shown that he still has some gas in the tank during his 1+ seasons in Phoenix and should remain a decent source of rebounds and blocks, though his free throw woes have yet to be solved. The question with him is how many games he can play and how many unannounced DNPs he'll rack up during the course of the season.
Williams should continue to be a strong source of three-pointers, especially if O'Neal can demand a few double teams each game. It remains to be seen if he can give you the assists you'd want from a point guard, but he should be a starter on most fantasy teams this year.
The Delonte West situation certainly makes things interesting for the Cavs and opens up the door for Anthony Parker to thrive. Parker is an efficient player who will hit a bunch of threes, grab some steals and give you strong all-around numbers from a late-round pick. He's flying under the radar right now but until West returns to form, Parker is a solid sleeper. Daniel Gibson will also benefit from increased playing time but is only good for threes.
Anderson Varejao is draftable in most leagues but is only valuable for his rebounding, nearly 1 steal and nearly 1 block per outing. Jamario Moon is valuable if given enough minutes but shouldn't see much daylight playing behind James. He'll be usable in deeper leagues for his threes, steals and blocks.
Oh, and the King should continue his reign of fantasy terror (or wonder, if you're fortunate enough to draft him). If O'Neal can remain healthy and attract enough defensive attention, things could open up for James.
Relevant fantasy players and projected per-game stats:
PG: Mo Williams (18 points, 4 assists, 2.5 threes)
SG: Anthony Parker (12 points, 1.5 steals, 1.5 threes)
SF: LeBron James (30 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 1.5 blocks, 1.75 threes)
PF: Anderson Varejao (8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal)
C: Shaquille O'Neal (16 points, 9 rebounds, 1.25 blocks)
Bench: Zydrunas Ilgauskas (8 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block), Daniel Gibson (9.5 points, 2 threes)

ST. LOUIS — Talking playoff baseball while wondering if Roger Goodell will be the biggest casualty of the Saints' bounty program:
1. Who is the best catcher in baseball? Probably one of the two guys who have been slugging it out in the National League Championship Series.
Including this year, either the Cardinals' Yadier Molina or the Giants' Buster Posey will have played in each of the last three World Series and four of the last seven, and that's hardly a fluke. You need a good catcher to go the distance.
Consider the catchers on baseball's last 10 championship teams: Molina (twice), Posey, Jorge Posada, Carlos Ruiz, Jason Varitek (twice), A.J. Pierzynski, Pudge Rodriguez and Bengie Molina.
There isn't a below-average player in that group.
Posey won a batting title this year, hitting .336 with 24 home runs, 103 RBIs and a 7.2 WAR. Molina was almost as good — .315 with a 22 homers, 76 RBIs and a 6.7 WAR.
Molina's defensive numbers were far superior to Posey's, however. He threw out 47.9 percent of runners attempting to steal, allowing just 38 stolen bases. There were 87 stolen bases off Posey, who threw out 30.4 percent of base-stealers.
Posey is considered the front-runner for National League Most Valuable Player but lots of people think Molina is equally deserving, maybe more. Their managers stated cases for them before the Giants staved off elimination with a 5-0 victory Friday night in Game 5 in the NL Championship Series.
Said Bruce Bochy: "I'd hate to think where we would be without him. He's our cleanup hitter. A guy handling the staff. … The numbers, they speak for themselves. But also his leadership on this club. We saw what life was without him last year. We lost him. The year before, Buster came up and helped lead us to win in the World Series. And last year when he went down, (we) couldn't hold on. We got him back this year, and here we are again.''
Said Mike Matheny: "To see what (Molina) does day in, day out, how selflessly he goes about his business and then how productive he is in situations. And just how tough he is mentally and physically. What a leader he is. The kind of things that don't necessarily go into an MVP vote, but you can't help but notice them and admire them when you see it day in and day out. … It has been an honor to watch what he has done this season.''
Neither Posey nor Molina has been at his best at the plate during the postseason, in large part because they haven't often gotten anything to hit. Posey has hit .189 in the first 10 games for the Giants, but he did have two homers against the Reds, including a grand slam in Game 5. Molina has hit .220 in the first 11 games for the Cardinals. Molina has five walks against two strikeouts; Posey six walks against nine strikeouts.
2. Jim Leyland believes his Tigers had too much time off before they played the Cardinals in the 2006 World Series. He vows a downturn won't happen again, and to make sure he has asked GM Dave Dombrowski to provide sparring partners for the American League champs.
The Tigers' Instructional League program was winding down in Lakeland, Fla., but a large contingent of those players will spend a few days in Detroit playing practice games in the hope that guys like Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and Delmon Young will stay sharp until Wednesday, when the World Series begins in the NL city.
"We'll have our pitchers throw to hitters and have our hitters face live pitching,'' Leyland said. "So hopefully we'll be a little more prepared this time."
Michael Jordan would have loved this plan, especially if he could bet on his team and demand an immediate rematch if it lost.
3. Cabrera will be only the fifth Triple Crown winner to play in the World Series. The others were Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, Frank Robinson in '66, Mickey Mantle in '56 and Ty Cobb in '09. The teams of the previous four winners were 2-2 in the Series.

What Caused the Twin Towers to Fall?1. Impact from the Terrorist Planes
When Boeing jets piloted by terrorists struck the Twin Towers, some 10,000 gallons (38 kiloliters) of jet fuel fed an enormous fireball. But, the impact of the planes and the burst of flames did not make the Towers collapse right away. Like most buildings, the Twin Towers had redundant design, which means that when one system fails, another carries the load. Each of the Twin Towers had 244 columns around a central core that housed the elevators, stairwells, mechanical systems, and utilities. When some columns were damaged, others could still support the building.
The impact of the aircraft and other flying objects (1) scraped off insulation that protected the steel from high temperatures; (2) damaged the sprinkler system of the building; (3) sliced and cut many of the interior columns and damaged others; and (4) shifted and redistributed the building load among columns that were not immediately damaged.
2. Heat from the Fires
Even if the sprinklers had been working, they could not have maintained enough pressure to stop the fire. Fed by the a spray of jet fuel, the heat became intense.
Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500° F. This is not hot enough to melt structural steel. However, engineers say that for the World Trade Center towers to collapse, their steel frames didn't need to melt, they just had to lose some of their structural strength. Steel will lose about half its strength at 1,200° F. The steel will also become distorted when heat is not a uniform temperature. Videos of both buildings showed inward bowing of perimeter columns restulting from a sagging of heated trusses on many floors.
3. Collapsing Floors
Most fires start in one area and then spread. The fire from the aircrafts' imact covered the area of an entire floor almost instantly. As the weakened floors began to bow and then collapse, they pancaked. This means that upper floors crashed down on lower floors with increasing weight and momentum, crushing each successive floor below. With the weight of the plunging floors building force, the exterior walls buckled. Researchers estimate that the "air ejected from the building by gravitational collapse must have attained, near the ground, the speed of almost 500 mph." Loud booms were heard during the collapse, which were caused by air speed fluctuations reaching the speed of sound.
Why did the collapsed towers look so flat?
Before the terrorist attack, the twin towers were 110 stories tall. Constructed of lightweight steel around a central core, the World Trade Center towers were about 95% air. After they collapsed, the hollow core was gone. The remaining rubble was only a few stories high.
Could the towers have been made stronger?
The Twin Towers were built in the 1970s. No building constructed at that time would have been able to withstand the impact of the terrorist attacks in 2001. We can, however, learn from the collapse of the towers and take steps to construct safer buildings and minimize the number of casualties in the event of a disaster.
When the Twin Towers were constructed, the builders were granted some exemptions from New York's building codes. The exemptions allowed the builders to use lightweight materials so the skyscrapers could achieve greater heights. But, the consequences were devastating. According to Charles Harris, author of Engineering Ethics: Concepts and Cases (compare prices), fewer people would have died on September 11, 2001 if the Twin Towers had used the type of fireproofing required by older building codes.
A tragic legacy of September 11 is that new construction in the USA must now adhere to more demanding building codes. Tall office buildings are required to have more durable fireproofing, an extra emergency exit, and many other safety features. To learn about the new building codes and their impact on architectural design, see: Did 9/11 Change the Way We Build?
Your Turn
Some people believe that the Twin Towers were brought down by explosives.
