Watch New England Patriots OnlineBy Jeremy Evans / August 16, 2017 / Tags: NFL Football, NFL Teams
Here's how to watch New England Patriots online this NFL season.
Use the services in the table below to live stream New England Patriots games this season. You don't need a cable or satellite TV subscription to use any of these services. All offer a free trial.
⊕ PRO TIP: You can live stream every Patriots game this season with NFL Game Pass International. See how to get NFL Game Pass International in the US.
Take advantage of the free trials to see which streaming service you like best.
* YouTube TV is only available in select cities. See how to get a free trial of YouTube TV in any location.
Note: If you have a streaming service (Sling TV, CBS All Access, etc.) and can't watch Patriots games online in your area, there is a way to bypass the location restrictions and get access. See how here.
What's The Best Way To Watch New England Patriots Online?
The best way to watch New England Patriots online is to use NFL Game Pass International. This is the only service that will let you watch every New England Patriots game live online.
The US version of NFL Game Pass DOES NOT live stream any regular season games. But, with NFL Game Pass International, you can live stream Patriots games from the preseason through the Super Bowl. You can watch on any device, both live and on-demand. You also get access to every other game around the NFL — and can even watch four games at once with NFL Red Zone, included with NFL Game Pass International. This is NFL streaming at its best.
The NFL doesn't let US fans sign up for Game Pass International. Thankfully, there's an easy way to get it anyway. See how to get NFL Game Pass International in the US.
NFL Game Pass is a bit pricier than other options though (around $150 for the season). If that's too much for you, then we recommend fuboTV as the next best way to watch New England Patriots online. FuboTV will give you access to most Patriots live streams throughout the season. That's because fuboTV will let you live stream all games on CBS, FOX, and NBC. Since the Patriots are an AFC team, a good number of their games will be on CBS. (CBS has broadcast rights to all AFC teams.) You can get a 7-day trial of fuboTV to check it out.
If you don't mind missing some games, CBS All Access is an even cheaper option. CBS All Access will let you live stream games on CBS this season (use the table above to see which games that includes). Get a 7-day free trial of CBS All Access here.
That said, you'll probably also want a VPN to use with fuboTV or CBS All Access. TV networks — and thereby fuboTV — often block access to games depending on where you're located. With a VPN, you can bypass the geo-blocks and get access to every game, whether it's in your local market or not.
We recommend NordVPN because it has the fastest streaming speeds and works on all devices. It also has one of the best deals out there — only $3.29/month (limited-time offer). Just follow these 3 steps to unblock NFL games on any site or streaming service:
1. Sign up for a 30-day trial of NordVPN (now for a limited time, get it for just $3/mo)
2. Download the app(s) for the device(s) you want to use
3. Connect to any US server and start watching.
See more about how to unblock sports with a VPN.
How Can I Live Stream Patriots Games From Outside New England?
If you're not in New England, but want to watch New England Patriots online, you'll need a VPN. You can use a VPN (virtual private network) with any streaming service or website (Sling TV, fuboTV, CBS.com, etc) to get around location restrictions on games.
See, the networks that broadcast NFL games restrict access based on location. So Patriots live streams are only available to people in the New England market. With a VPN, you can bypass these restrictions.
A VPN works by changing your digital location. So even though you're outside the Patriots local market, with a VPN you can appear to be located anywhere you want. By "tricking" websites and services into "thinking" you're in New England, you can get access to watch Patriots online from anywhere.
See how to use a VPN to watch Patriots games online from outside New England.
How Can I Watch Patriots Online Without Cable?
To watch New England Patriots online without cable, just use any of the streaming services in the table above. All these services are available without a cable or satellite TV subscription.
⊕ Watch NFL Football Online 2018
Most will let you live stream Patriots games on any device. Many also have a DVR function so you can record games to watch them later. All services offer a free trial, so take advantage of this to check them out, and even watch Patriots games online free for a while.
Where Can I Watch Today's New England Patriots Live Stream
For today's Patriots live stream, see the table above for the New England Patriots TV schedule. This has the complete Patriots schedule, and all the options to watch each game live online.
The table is also an easy way to see which service will let you watch the most Patriots games online this year. You can sign up for a free trial of any service to watch today's Patriots live stream free.
Can I Watch Patriots Online Free?
First, you can get a free trial of any/all of the streaming services in the table above. This will let you watch Patriots online free for a week or more for each service.
You might be tempted to watch free Patriots live steams from various websites that broadcast pirated streams. But after you try this once, you probably won't be tempted again. You'll have to play link chase, getting shuffled around to multiple sketchy sites. And you'll have to deal with lots of ads, poor video quality, and streams that die in the middle of a game.
You might also try using Kodi to watch the day's Patriots live stream free. But as with piracy sites, the New England Patriots live streams on Kodi are unreliable and will likely cause you more frustration than enjoyable football time.
A final option is to watch Patriots free over-the-air. With a decent indoor antenna, you can watch Patriots games free on FOX, CBS, NBC, and ABC. See the Patriots TV schedule above to find the games you can watch free with an antenna. Then see how to choose the right TV antenna for you.

- Chelsea 0-2 Swansea, Capital One Cup
Capital joy for Swansea after Ivanovic howlers
Rafael Benitez endured a torrent of abuse from Chelsea fans as the Blues slumped to an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to Swansea in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final at Stamford Bridge.
Michu scored his 16th goal of the season, and Danny Graham added a late second to put the Swans within touching distance of their first ever major Wembley cup final. Branislav Ivanovic was the chief villain for Chelsea, who gifted the Swans both goals.
In truth, Swansea did not have to work as hard as they might have imagined for their victory. With the exception of David Luiz, Chelsea were poor throughout. Sloppy in possession and lacking a cutting edge in attack, the Blues looked anything but title challengers or potential cup finalists.
Fernando Torres was the worst offender. The former Liverpool striker has shown signs of improvement since Benitez's appointment, but on Wednesday the Spaniard's two chances amounted to a weak header and a long-range shot that almost found the second tier of the Shed End. He touched the ball 19 times during his 81 minutes on the pitch.
Chelsea fans spent a large chunk of the match berating Benitez for his failure to bring on Demba Ba, who scored twice on debut last weekend, and they also took umbrage with the interim boss' failure to bring on Frank Lampard until the 70th minute.
Blues fans have not hidden their dislike towards Benitez since his appointment, but they gave him both barrels, booing the Spaniard's decisions and calling for the return of Roberto Di Matteo in the dying minutes of the defeat.
Torres started lively enough, drifting out to the left flank where he delivered a clever cross to the front post, but Ivanovic headed over. The Spaniard soon exhibited signs of the his woeful form, however. He picked the ball up 30 yards out and crept towards goal before firing a wayward shot that cleared the bar comfortably.
The Blues dominated the game, but lacked a killer touch up front. Chelsea thought they should have had a penalty when Ki Sung-Yueng grappled with Luiz while going for cross but Anthony Taylor waved play on.
A brilliant flowing move that included touches from Oscar and Luiz eventually ended up with Ramires in space in the Swansea box but he could only prod weakly at Gerhard Tremmel. Efforts from Cesar Azpilicueta and Gary Cahill both went wide while Juan Mata lost his usually clinical touch in front of goal after a foray into the box by Eden Hazard.
Another brilliant move came on the half-hour with Oscar backheeling the ball to Mata from Ramires' pass, but once again the former Valencia man shot wide. Torres' only decent contribution of the opening 45 minutes came when he split the Swansea defence, but Tremmel came to the Swans' rescue.
A quiet hush fell upon Stamford Bridge, with the hosts' lack of penetration up front clearly dampening their enthusiasm. The most noise the home support displayed was when Lampard emerged from the dugout to warm up.
The Blues fans fell silent moments later, however, when Ivanovic's error gifted Swansea the lead. Jonathan de Guzman pinched the ball off the Serb as he dallied on the edge of his own box and squared to Michu, who calmly slotted past Ross Turnbull.
Luiz, by far Chelsea's best player, then went close with two efforts just after the break. But the home fans started to vent their anger at Benitez for not introducing Ba or Lampard. One fan had to be restrained by stewards as he headed in the direction of the Chelsea bench to remonstrate with the former Liverpool boss.
Another fan invaded the pitch to provide the Blues fans with some entertainment. The rest of the home crowd continued to demand Lampard's introduction, but the calls fell on deaf ears.
Lampard could not remove his tracksuit quick enough when Benitez finally beckoned the midfielder over to tell him he wanted him to come on with 20 minutes to go. The England man injected life into Chelsea, but Torres continued to perform poorly. The striker found space on the edge of the box, but could only head weakly into Tremmel's arms.
Ki then sent Michu through with a clever pass, but the linesman flagged for offside just as the former Rayo Vallecano man was about to pull the trigger.
Benitez finally answered the home fans' demands and brought on Ba with nine minutes left. Torres departed to cheers and a sarcastic standing ovation, with boos also heard.
Ba made an immediate impact, going close with two efforts, the second a looping header from Marko Marin's cross. He also hurtled through in injury-time and went down after Tremmel failed to collect the ball, but the referee did not give a penalty and instead booked the former Newcastle man for diving.
Chelsea's night then turned worse with one minute of added time left. Ivanovic's second terrible backpass allowed Graham to pinch the ball off Turnbull before slotting into an empty net.
The home fans responded by calling for Benitez's head. "You're not welcome here'' and "One Di Matteo,'' they sang. Ba thought he had pulled one back for the Blues moments later but his effort was ruled out for offside.

NCAA Tournament 2013 East Region — Day 2
The NCAA Tournament moves onto its second day of wall-to-wall games on Friday. The East Region's slate features a pair of very serious title contenders determined to prove they're on a mission.
Temple took care of North Carolina State in a #8-#9 game, while Miami came out with guns blazing against Pacific in a blowout win. Indiana took care of business against James Madison, while Illinois stopped a Colorado team that couldn't overcome stretches of cold shooting.
(9) Temple 76, (8) North Carolina State 72
Down by as many as 18 with about 17 minutes to go and 11 with a little more than four minutes to go, the Wolfpack came storming back, but couldn't get any closer than two points as Temple, which struggled from the free throw line all day, hit key foul shots down the stretch to seal the win. Khalif Wyatt scored 31 points and Temple, which was outrebounded 34-22, committed only five turnovers to fuel the victory. The Wolfpack, which hit 55% of its shots, were paced by Lorenzo Brown's 22 points and C.J. Leslie's 20.
(2) Miami (FL) 78, (15) Pacific 49
The Hurricanes looked every bit the Final Four team many people think they are. Pacific had no answer for Miami's half-court set and the Hurricanes hit 3s early and often to put this one out of reach before halftime. The Tigers endured a seven-minute scoring drought in the first half, which spells doom when you're trying to take down the #2 seed. The Hurricanes put their foot down from the get-go and never looked back en route to victory. Miami hit 12 treys, including five by Durand Scott, who led all scorers with 21 points. Pacific, which only hit 33% of its shots, was paced by Travis Fulton's 18 points.
(1) Indiana 83, (16) James Madison 62
James Madison may have played their way into the field of 64, but Indiana played them right out. The Hoosiers jumped out to a 9-0 lead and the Dukes never recovered. IU's high-powered offense featured a well-balanced attack, with Yogi Ferrell scoring 16 points and Will Sheehey contributing 15 off the bench. Indiana also dominated on the free throw line, with a 16-2 advantage in points scored from the charity stripe. Andre Nation scored a career-high 24 points in defeat for JMU.
(7) Illinois 57, (10) Colorado 49
Illinois dominated the first 20 minutes, but Colorado came out with guns blazing after intermission to wipe out a 16-point halftime deficit and build a five-point lead while the Illini went ice cold from the floor, not hitting a shot over the course of the first 11 minutes of the half. Illinois took the Buffaloes' best punch, though, and went on a 18-8 run to end the game. Colorado, which didn't score in the last seven minutes of the first half, also went more than five-and-a-half minutes without a point late in the game. Neither team was efficient offensively – the Illini only made 31% of its shots, while the Buffaloes hit 33%. Brandon Paul scored 17 points, including nine of 10 from the free throw line, to lead Illinois, while Askia Booker (14 points) was the only player in double figures for Colorado.

Is Something Keeping You Down?
Have you ever felt like a certain location or situation was keeping you down, and not allowing you to fully reach your goals? As part of our Make it Happen Monday series I wanted to dive into this subject and talk about this widely discussed notion.
I come from a prairie town in Canada called Saskatoon, which is a booming city with somewhere around 200,000 people. Growing up it provided me with a lot of great opportunities and it wasn't until completing University that my mind drifted to thoughts of getting out of there. I can't honestly explain what changed. The weather and climate definitely played a huge part in it for me, but seeing as it is the location where all of my (and my Wife's) family is located there must be more too it, right?
We're going back for a visit later this month, and it will be my first time there in two years. I do not mean to disrespect this place where I grew up, but I have absolutely no desire to ever go back there….other than seeing my Family (which I'd prefer to do somewhere else).
I really have no reason to think this way, but I seem to associate my hometown with a place that I'm embarrassed about. It's a place where (in my own head) opportunities do not readily exist, and I was not able to be opened up to what my heart desired. I was never one of those people who said "I need to get out of this town"….but I'm glad I did.
When we moved to the Caribbean, my world was opened up to something I never would have dreamed. I saw and did amazing things and it was my year's in St. Kitts that showed me there was a whole other World out there. Our time here in Austin, Texas has provided me with interactions and opportunities that could not have happened anywhere else. Being in this location has brought with it many things that could not have happened anywhere else. Our Family is on the move once again, and I know this new location will once again provide something incredible and spectacular.
But please, don't get me wrong. Big things can definitely happen no matter where you are located. Ultimately it is up to ourselves to Make it Happen….but what I'm saying is that there are situations where a re-location is necessary. Sometimes it's because of who you are. Sometimes it's because of who you want to be.
I'm talking about life here, but when it comes to cycling many of the same things apply. A location, group of friends, or anything else in your life can create something that sparks you….or something that holds you down from achieving what's inside. Conditions, influences, and infrastructure are all things that can help make you a better cyclist.
What I'm really trying to say is that we all need to continuously assess ourselves, our life, and where we're going. If something is holding you back from where you need to be….change it. Otherwise dream big and make things happen right there where you are.
Maybe it's something you don't even know is happening, but with a clear mind and calm soul you can look within and see where you need to be.

American Council of Hypnotist Examiners
What is the A.C.H.E… Why it was created… Its function, purpose, and direction
In 1973, the Hypnotist Examining Council was created as a non-profit professional organization engaging in self-regulation of all who utilized hypnosis/hypnotherapy as an integral part of a professional practice. The primary focus was on formal and appropriate education and training followed by a written exam and a practical demonstration of hypnosis skills before a Designated Examiner. A code of ethics and principles of practice were formulated and adopted.
Shortly afterward, Gil Boyne was elected President of the organization and, in 1980, he founded the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, a national organization that now has certified more than nine thousand hypnotherapists worldwide, including numerous physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists and representatives of the healing arts, counseling and allied professions.
The A.C.H.E. is the primary organization that has been responsible for the recognition and regulation of hypnotherapy training in the USA. This organization is a state-chartered, non-profit professional corporation that has established standards for specialized education and maintains standards of practice and a code of ethics.
In addition, the A.C.H.E. provides examinations for hypnotherapists who have met the qualifications for specialized education, training, and experience. Successful completion of the written and practical demonstration examination before a Designated Examiner and signing the A.C.H.E. Code of Ethics leads to certification.
For examination and certification by A.C.H.E., a Hypnotherapist must be trained in a school approved by the A.C.H.E. The A.C.H.E. only approves schools that have programs of at least 200 hours of training in hypnotherapy that is almost entirely in the classroom.
Certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist requires not less than 300 hours of training that is almost entirely in the classroom. It is the highest level of certification awarded.
The A.C.H.E. has developed a membership in over 40 countries throughout the world. Graduates of approved schools are eligible to receive certification and, if they provide hypnotherapy services to the general public, are considered to be professional hypnotherapists. Also, our membership includes many professionals in the health and counseling fields who have integrated hypnotherapy into their practices after receiving training at A.C.H.E.-approved schools.

Civil War
My title, The Minutemen of 1861, was taken from information from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's webpage. And, some below information from that site is shared below.
"Massachusetts 6th infantry had been organized in January of 1861. They assembled and moved from Lowell to Boston, where they were outfitted; given their charge by Governor John Andrew and set off for Washington, DC on April 17th.
As was customary from the revolutionary war, Massachusetts's Governor presented the sixth regiment with a distinctive flag to carry in battle. The honor of a regiment was bound to its flag.
The regiment passed through New York and Philadelphia by train, reaching Baltimore on April 19th, 1861 -- the 86th anniversary of the "shot heard round the world" in Lexington and Concord. Little did the troops realize that they would fire their own shots heard round the world, and that the first union casualties in the war of rebellion would come from the sixth regiment later that day.In Baltimore a local ordinance prevented steam engines from operating within city limits. Paul O'Neil, an interpreter for the Baltimore Civil War Museum, explains this ordinance was likely designed to benefit teamsters, who provided horse service through town to connect the city's train stations. So, the sixth regiment rode in train cars drawn by horses from Baltimore's Presidential Station to the Camden Yards station.Seven of the ten cars carrying the 6th regiment made it before a growing mob blocked the tracks with sand and ship anchors. Once stopped, the soldiers began marching down Pratt Street in formation.There on Pratt Street, the Civil War began to be fought. The incensed crowd hurled bricks, cobblestones, and any other objects within reach at the troops.However, the young troops from Massachusetts disported themselves with military discipline. The regimental color was carried by Color Sergeant Timothy A. Crowley of Lowell.
Chaplain Babbidge, who was with the regiment that day wrote, "paving stones flew thick and fast, some just grazing their heads, and some hitting the standard itself." Shots from handguns came from the crowd, the Massachusetts regiment returned fire.
Photos and write-ups located on FindAGrave.It is believed that 16 people were killed in the melee, including four soldiers - Luther C. Ladd and Addison Otis Whitney of Lowell, a Mr. Needham of Lawrence, and Mr. Taylor, whose history is unknown. These four became the first to serve and die on the 19th of April, 1861."
From Wikipedia, The History of Lowell, Massachusetts provides valuable information.
Another good site.
Finally, from a google search, using the key words: "Ladd Whitney Lowell Civil War" I found a wealth of information on these men, Lowell and the Civil War.
|Actual dedication was moved to June 17, 1865, due to
President Lincoln's death.
|Ladd and Whitney Monument and the Lowell City Hall.

Beau Bennett and Evgeni Malkin scored 13 seconds apart in the third period and the Pittsburgh Penguins clinched the Atlantic Division title by beating the free-falling Carolina Hurricanes 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Brenden Morrow scored his first goal with the Penguins, Robert Bortuzzo added a goal, and Pascal Dupuis had an empty-netter and two assists.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 25 saves for Penguins, who were without a handful of regulars - including captain Sidney Crosby, James Neal and Kris Letang - but still had plenty of timely firepower to hand the Hurricanes their club-record eighth straight home loss.
Joe Corvo and Bobby Sanguinetti scored early goals for the Hurricanes, and Riley Nash put them up 3-2 exactly 2 minutes into the third.
Bennett tied it with 10:11 left by slipping a backhand past Justin Peters, and Malkin scored with 9:58 left by poking the rebound of Jarome Iginla's shot past Peters.
Dupuis scored into an empty net with 1.9 seconds left.
Peters made 28 saves for Carolina, which lost its sixth straight and for the 13th time in 14 games.
These teams have gone in opposite directions since their last meeting - a 4-1 Carolina win at home over the listless-at-the-time Penguins on Feb. 28.
Pittsburgh responded by winning 17 of 19, including a 15-game winning streak that ended last week, to take control of the Eastern Conference.
The Hurricanes, meanwhile, descended into one of the worst slumps in club history - one that has enveloped nearly one-third of the compressed 48-game schedule.
Since taking a 2-0, first period lead against Washington on March 14 - a game they went on to lose 3-2 - the Hurricanes have been outscored 56-21. Carolina has gone from the top of the Southeast Division to near the bottom of the conference.
But some injured players began to trickle back into the lineup: defenseman Justin Faulk was activated from the injured list, and Alexander Semin returned after missing two games with an upper body injury.
Two Carolina defensemen - Sanguinetti and Corvo - scored off first-period faceoffs, with Sanguinetti's slap shot tying it at 2 with 4:27 left. Corvo struck first 4:06 in.
Bortuzzo tied it at 1 just 92 seconds after Corvo's goal when he went backdoor and scored off a pretty cross-ice pass from Pascal Dupuis. Morrow briefly put the Penguins up 2-1 with 6:11 left with his first goal with the Penguins, coming on an impressive effort in the slot.
When Nash scored with 18 minutes left, backhanding a rebound high past Fleury, it was his first goal since he had two against Washington on March 12.
But Bennett and Malkin scored in bang-bang fashion to keep the Penguins surging and the Hurricanes reeling.
NOTES: The Penguins have now beaten every team in the East this season. ... Carolina made room for Faulk by sending D Brett Bellemore to Charlotte of the AHL. ... LW Jussi Jokinen, traded by the Hurricanes to Pittsburgh at the deadline, assisted on Morrow's goal. Another former Carolina player, RW Craig Adams, had two assists.

I can't emphasize how appropriate I think your accolades of radgirl are my friend. After receiving several supportive posts from her during my time in Iraq, it decided to take the time to "read her story." I stayed up until 4:30 am that night, unable to put off reading the rest for the next day. I couldn't believe the courage I read in her words, and it struck me that despite all she had been through, she took the time to write to me to thank me for my service. I was truly honored.ReplyDelete
Radgirl, you epitomized the spirit our great nation was built upon and sadly so often lacks these days. You don't look to pass blame or take the time to indulge in self pity, you just look to improve your life and the lives of those that surround you.
There is a quote that I can't properly attribute, but it goes like this, "You'd better get busy living, or get busy dying." She got busy living with such an indomidible zeal for life, that the cancer didn't stand a chance. I am glad to say that I am the friend that Radgirl and 911doc have in common!!!

Great idea! She deserves it... and I don't know where she gets all that energy!ReplyDelete
I remember seeing a picture of her atop a refrigerator painting a ceiling or such. :-)
Upon further investigation, she's basically awesome. Thanks for never steering us wrong, docs of M.D.O.D.!ReplyDelete
You guys are so sweet. What a great thing to wake up to this morning! Thanks, and you know I feel the same way about you all too! I am sitting here blushing. This was so thoughtful and awesome.ReplyDelete
Also, did you know moniker is one of my favorite words? I actually have a paper list of the words I love and that is on there.
A fresh Twinkie raised to you in your honor, Radgirl. You sound a lot like a dear friend of mine who had lung cancer. Her doc's loved her great attitude and ever-present smile that was plastered on her face. Knowing her, she's probably smiling down at you from some gilded cloud that's playing Twisted Sister and tossing a fist in the air saying, "You go, Radgirl! You made it!"ReplyDelete

Let's reveal the real reason we like her: she looks hot in her tri-suit and we are a bunch of pervs.ReplyDelete
etotheipi-that is so funny because that picture was taken not even 5 months after I had my 4th baby. I always think it shows me at my worst and when someone says something like you said, it astounds me that anyone could see that and think I looked hot. But thanks. It is nice to hear, pervy coment or not.ReplyDelete

Radgirl, you are hot...and I ain't talking radioactively. Keep getting after it! I love seeing people overcome disease and continuing the set the pace in life. LoftyReplyDelete
I think you are awesome, radgirl - and so cute! My very best to you :)ReplyDelete
Radgirl rocks!ReplyDelete
Since she's my official "mascot", how do I begin some petting? Or "heavy petting"?

Moakland Music Events
I am a banjo player from Ireland with over 20 years of playing time. I am now living in New York and am launching my own music events company.
The name of the company, Moakland comes from a place in North Tipperary Ireland where my father was from. He was a well known musician in the area and his music was passed down to him from generation to generation. He has recently passed away and my decision to start this company is a tribute to him and his music.
Most of the musicians I work with are well known for their traditional Irish music talents so our target audience will be Irish-Americans although we will be delving into other musical genres as well. Our markets will include weddings (cocktail hours, church, and/or reception), funerals, corporate events, political events, christenings, bar sessions, & parties.
*The acronym for the company is MME and I would like this incorporated into the logo but with the full name: "Moakland Music Events" and the tag line: "Music That ReMinds You" underneath the logo (the "Re" in reminds should be italicized) .
*I want the logo to be some type of circular celtic symbol with a music staff through it and the letters MME on the staff.
*I'd like to see how the lines in the M's would look if they were made into musical notes. So the line on the M's could be uneven as if depicting notes. *Then perhaps throw some random music notes after the MME.
*The colors I will be using for my company and website will be black silver gold green. So these colors should be incorporated.
*The logo should be sleek, professional and expensive looking. Nothing cartoonish or too busy and definately no cheesy stereotypical Irish stuff.
*I will be using this for all advertising: web logo, business cards, marketing materials, contracts, etc.
I trust that you are all the experts so yes your creative input is definately welcome.
I've attached a file just to give you an idea of the how the middle note on the music staff can be turned into an M.
Good Luck to all!

Even with the economy looking like it might be on the mend, busy working moms are trying hard to stretch their dollar a bit more this holiday season. Black Friday -- the day after Thanksgiving -- is usually the busiest shopping day of the year. These tips and tricks will help you make the most of your money, whether you're braving the post-turkey-day crowds at the stores or logging on and shopping from the comfort of home.
1.) Do your research. Have your wish list ready? Great. Now, go online and check the prices at different stores (don't forget to add in any processing or shipping fees). This will help you to know whether the price you see at the store really is that great of a deal, or if you're better off waiting.
2.) Buy the newspaper (even if you usually read it online). Why spend money on the print version? Luke Knowles, co-founder of Coupon Sherpa and the Ask Coupon Sherpa blog, points out that there's a reason the Thanksgiving Day newspaper is the fattest newspaper of the year. Advertisers annually stuff this paper with coupons and circulars advertising their best sales, which you can augment, in some cases, with online coupons.
3.) Look for online coupons. Some places allow you to use printable coupons as well as the ones from the newspaper.
4.) Have a plan of attack. Take your wish list, look at the circulars, and draw up your shopping-day plan. What are your must-have items? Which stores have them in stock? Decide which stores you want to shop and in what order. Try to stick to your list! This isn't the time for impulse purchases!
5.) Check the item carefully. Is it practically free because practically nothing is included? Do you have to buy a $50 power cord in order to use that $30 gadget?
6.) Carpool, or catch a ride. Avoid parking nightmares (and prices!) by carpooling with a friend or having someone drop you off and pick you up later. Public transportation sounds great, until you're trying to board the bus with your arms full of packages. If you must drive yourself, heed the advice of MIT professor Dick Larson, also known as Dr. Queue: "Park farthest from the main entrance; that's where the spots are. Trolling for a closer spot wastes psychic energy and it can lead to queue rage."
7.) See if you can buy online and pick it up later. Some stores allow you to place an order online for in-store pickup the next day, even if the next day is Black Friday. (You'll still want to get there early, just in case.)
8.) Skip the stores altogether and shop online. Amazon.com is offering crazy deals all week, with some of the prices matching the types of door-buster bargains you'd find in brick-and-mortar stores. (Example: Slumdog Millionaire on DVD, regularly $29.98, on sale for $7.99.)

- 1. STOP these Free Market Killing ICC Building Codes in Gilbert - TOWN COUNCIL VOTES THURSDAY, 11/7/2013!
Please see Gordon Ray's email below. Thanks to the high level of research and persistence of Gordon's team of dedicated citizens, the Gilbert Town Council is looking at the ICC 2012 Building Codes like they never have in the past. So far the Council has hit the pause button.
Tomorrow they vote. PLEASE send an email and/or attend this meeting to speak out against adoption of these codes. This email address will reach Mayor John Lewis and all Council members: email@example.com. Town Hall, 50 E. Civic Center Drive, Gilbert, AZ 85296.
How can any of these codes honestly be about safety issues? Is your house still standing? Is every house in Gilbert still standing? What about all the office buildings, grocery stores, and government buildings? All were built with tons of previous codes. None were built with these proposed 2012 Codes! None of the homes and buildings built without these codes have presented any hazards. Children haven't gotten shocked from sticking screwdrivers, paperclips, or anything else into the outlets.
Please tell the Council: Even if a code is an improvement, that improvement shouldn't be made into a law. The improvement should be a choice between the builder and the person paying for the construction. Just because some private entities wrote those codes, forcing them on the citizenry is NOT supporting the Free market. Leave the Free market to compete on its own, without more onerous regulations.
Enough of Government Regulations at all levels! All of these monsters got their start at the local level. Kill the monster while it's young, before it turns into the Rottweiler that runs your household.

- 2. 10/28/2013: Deadline to Comment to Stop Wolf Reintroduction!
October 28 is the deadline for submitting your objections to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's plan to reintroduce wolves into several Arizona counties. The USFWS also intends to maintain the Mexican gray wolf as "endangered." Believe me, if these wolves are introduced into Gila, Coconino, Navajo, and Graham counties, it will be livestock, wildlife, pets, humans, and the economy that will be endangered.
There are two issues:
The first relates to the proposed changes to the Mexican wolf experimental nonessential population rule. This expands the boundaries. Click HERE. You will see where to comment in the top right corner.
The second relates to the continued listing of Mexican gray wolves as an endangered subspecies in the Southwest. Click HERE.
You don't need to be eloquent or follow the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service onerous suggestions for what to say. What's needed is for Arizonans to stand up and speak out against both the Reintroduction and the Reclassification.
You could write the following:Click here to read more
- 3. Wolves in Government Clothing: Part 1
You need to know that wolves are set to be released throughout Arizona very soon... Unless we stop it. Please read U.S. Fish & Wildlife to Introduce Wolves into Gila, Navajo, Graham, and Coconino Counties.
- 4. U.S. Fish & Wildlife to Introduce Wolves into Gila, Navajo, Graham, and Coconino Counties
The following article was written by Donna Daly, a resident of Gila County. If you live in Gila, Navajo, Graham, or Coconino county, or if you have a cabin in any of these areas, or if you have a business in these counties, you need to read every sentence of Ms. Daly's article. The deadline for comments to the U.S. Fish & Game is 10/28/2013. No hearings have been scheduled in areas where these wolves are to be released! All of the animal rights activists from across America know about it. Not us! These members of the Sierra Club and Defenders of Wildlife don't even live in Arizona where these animals will be released. I live within 30 feet of the Tonto National Forest. I know what coyotes can do. I love all wild animals. I love wolves. It is criminal to release them in these areas, where they will be shot and killed by people protecting their families and livelihood. If the animal rights people want to preserve wolves, release them in remote areas, not near people, and especially not near children! Don't release them where they will kill pets and livestock and ruin the economy of the towns that thrive on the recreational trade.
This is what Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and all the Democrats want! They want to grind America into the ground.Click here to read more

- 7. Gilbert Town Council Member Jared Taylor's Opinion about adopting the 2012 ICC Building Codes
This afternoon, July 30, 2013, the Town Council meets in a Study Session at 4 pm to talk about the 2012 ICC building codes. Click here for more information. Your attendance in support of the citizens of Gilbert is appreciated.
A few weeks ago, I asked each Council member for his/her opinion on who has the burden of proof for adopting codes into law? Should individual citizens be expected to prove that each of hundreds of codes should NOT be made law? Or should Town employees be required to prove why they SHOULD be made law?
In response to that question, Council Member Jared Taylor responded by copying me on an email he sent on July 9 to Patrick Banger, Gilbert's Town Manager:
Hi Patrick,
As far as I can tell, the purpose of having building codes is to solve problems. For example, smoke detectors save lives so we mandate them. There is clear data to show this.
As I've listened to Kyle's team, I'm not sure they are focused on solving problems in our community, but more on passing along the recommendations from national/international bodies.
I realize a few state-mandated items were withdrawn, but that didn't come from our building community. Don't get me wrong, the IBC's have some positive things in them.
As you probably know, the 2012 codes will add hundreds of new regulations on our builders. Many builders will profit by the additional work and just pass the cost on to our citizens. The citizens will eventually carry the cost of all the expensive fees, inspections, and hours it takes to design, review, and inspect to the new and existing regulations. This will cost Gilbert families millions of additional dollars very quickly. I wonder about the real value here and can't support something that isn't empirically validated to solve problems.
As a result, it seems reasonable that I get hard empirical justification on every new regulation that is being recommended. I would like to see the statistics of how many injuries, deaths, or other harms the lack each regulation has caused in Gilbert and how this new regulation is proven to address the issue.
If we are not solving actual problems, we are simply creating a huge amount of waste for our citizens in government jobs, fees, reviews, inspections, etc. This is a simple ROI exercise that should have been part of the original process.
I would like to have someone on your team provide me this analysis. I'm OK to receive it in a spreadsheet. I know this may seem like a tall order, but given the massive imposition on our community these hundreds of new regulations will place, it's really not that much.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

- 8. "It's the Law, Because I say so." Code Enforcement, Gilbert, AZ.
President Barack Obama isn't the only tyrant who wields power at his whim. Meet Code Enforcement....in Gilbert, Arizona, home of "Constitution Week USA."
According to Gordon Ray, a local builder, here are two examples of what happens on almost every building inspection in Gilbert. This is one of many reasons that several local professionals and tradesmen from the construction and building industry in Gilbert have been fighting against the Town Council's adoption of the 2012 ICC (International Code Council) building codes. Gilbert needs to have their own simple, justifiable codes, rather than hundreds of international codes, many of which are expensive, not applicable, and misinterpreted by the Town's inspectors.
Please note that Gilbert's inspector doesn't even cite the specific code that has been "violated." If he bothered to "look it up," he might have to actually read it. If he had read it, he could have saved the sub-contractor and the Gilbert homeowner time and money. The sub-contractor just submits to the list of violations (right or wrong) because it takes him more time and costs him more money to do the Inspector's job by looking up the code and proving that the inspector is wrong. Ultimately, these costs are eaten by the consumer. Everybody pays the price....except the Town inspector.
Example #1: The inspector issued a turn down notice, citing only "Wrong bushing in electrical panel." After the electrician spoke to the inspector, it was determined that the electrician was correct in his application. It took about $80.00 labor to get the inspector to admit he was wrong.
Example #2: The inspector issued a turn down notice, citing only "No foam in attic."
There was a time when foam was used on gable ends. If and when a house burned down, the code stated that the fumes from the fire would be toxic. So, the code stated no foam in attics. However, the code also states that you can have foam in the attic, if you put drywall on your walls and ceilings. Such was the case in this example. However, the sub-contractor went ahead and removed it, even though he was correct. He missed a few small 2" x 3" pieces, so the Inspector (incorrectly) turned it down again. So, the sub went back and removed every tiny piece. The cost to this private business? $185.00 rather than fight with the Town Inspector.
Today at 4 pm, there will be a Town Council Study Session to discuss the possible adoption of hundreds of more pages of "codes." The meeting will be held in the Council Chambers, Gilbert Municipal Center, 50 E. Civic Center Dr.

- 10. Building Codes Could Restrict Freedom
Cory Carpenter recently published an Opinion piece in the Arizona Republic titled Building Codes Could Restrict Freedom. Please read it and comment. In that article, he explains how the proliferation of construction, building, energy, and all kinds of other "codes" coming from the International Code Council in Washington, DC, have become so onerous, we are losing our basic freedoms.
Gilbert Watch has published several articles relating to the Gilbert battle against these codes, headed by local draftsman and home designer, Rusdon Ray.
The issue isn't, "Are the codes sound"? Most, not all, are technically sound. Many codes provide wonderful, new techniques for energy efficiency. That isn't the point. The point is, "Why are town and city Councils across America turning them into LAWS?" Why are they being shoved down the throats of American tradesmen and citizens?
Town and city management routinely present these code "updates" to town and city Councils, recommending they be made law. Shouldn't the "burden of proof" for why a code should be a law be on the shoulders of government employees to prove?
Haven't we had enough federal domination and intrusion into our lives?Click here to read more

China Petroleum and Chemical Corp, the world's largest refiner by volume, has agreed to establish a joint venture with Russia's Novatek and Gazprombank to market natural and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in China, Sinopec said on Thursday.
The agreement, which aims to sell LNG produced by Novatek in the Arctic, was signed following talks in Moscow between Russian President, Vladimir Putin, and Chinese President, Xi Jinping.
The agreement will be of considerable economic and social benefit and will further diversify China's natural gas imports, while meeting ever-increasing gas demand in the country, said Dai Houliang, China Petrochemical Corp president.

Junior minister Angela Smith has been handed the government IT brief, with responsibility for security across Whitehall.
She will take over some of the Cabinet Office responsibilities of "digital engagement" minister Tom Watson, who quit the front bench earlier this year.
As well as looking after the information security and assurance brief, the government's chief information officer John Suffolk will report to Smith. She will therefore have responsibility for the "transformational government" strategy, a broad effort to update and outsource the delivery of public services.
Smith previously worked as a government whip and as a junior minister in the Northern Ireland Office. Immediately prior to joining the Cabinet Office she was one of Gordon Brown's parliamentary private secretaries. ®
Correction: This article originally stated Angela Smith of the Cabinet Office had been an aide to Yvette Cooper and been embroiled in the MPs expenses scandal. This was incorrect; there are two Labour MPs called Angela Smith. We regret the error.

Jon Dawson reviews 'Get Up!' and 'Count Basie at Newport'
New album: Get Up!
Artist: Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite
Label: Concord/Stax
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Charlie Musselwhite and Ben Harper have spent their careers perfecting all types of American music while still etching their own DNA into the proceedings. Squeezing something original out of the blues in 2013 is no easy feat, but �Get Up!� proves it can be done.
Both artists� muses have more frequent flyer miles than an astronaut, but �Get Up!� seems to be vibing off the classic Chicago blues sound. Few if any blues/rock configurations have surpassed or matched the inventive authenticity of the first two Paul Butterfield Blues Band albums of the late 1960s � both of which were drenched in the lean, aggressive Chicago style. Harper and Musselwhite seemingly have tapped into whatever reservoir of mojo the Butterfield Band drank from and have updated the recipe for the 21st century.
Album opener �Don�t Look Twice� is an acoustic duet in the fine Buddy Guy/Junior Wells tradition. Harper�s almost-falsetto vocals and spiky slide guitar work are sweetened by Musselwhite�s lyrical harmonica work.
Another 45 minutes of this type of material would have been fine, but �I�m In I�m Out I�m Gone� crashes in with a full-blown band stomping, along like a group of Delta storm troopers. Whether wailing away or dropping in juicy asides, Musselwhite�s playing is ghostly and transcendent.
On �I Don�t Believe a Word You Say,� Harper�s vocals are eerily reminiscent of Jack Bruce�s work with Cream. The song is given a pummeling, but the bombast never outweighs the emotion of the performances.
�Blood Side Out� and �I Ride at Dawn� both exchange ancient blues clich�s for modern twists on anxiety and anger. With lyrics such as �his father before watched the soil burn with fire/did things I didn�t know I could for the common good,� �I Ride at Dawn� probably will end up being added to the once-thought-finished list of classic blues songs.
Hopefully �Get Up!� will not be a one-shot collaboration. There isn�t a more important form of American music than the blues, and work such as this will keep the genre alive.
Classic album: Count Basie at Newport
Artist: Count Basie
Label: Verve
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Comedian/actor/musician Martin Mull is credited with the saying �writing about music is like dancing about architecture.� That phrase is certainly appropriate for the �Basie at Newport� album.
When this live set was recorded in 1957, rock and roll was on the ascent, but jazz/swing/big band music still held a decent chunk of the pop market. Count Basie and his colleagues would soon turn to European audiences for career resuscitation, but everyone at the Newport Festival had enough sense to appreciate what they were witnessing.
In addition to Basie�s sublime piano work, this show also featured the trumpet work of Roy Eldridge, vocalists Joe Williams and Jimmy Rushing, and legendary tenor sax player Lester Young. The band was tight, but in the capable hands of Sonny Payne on drums, the music had more swing than a thousand playgrounds.
The crowd-pleasers (�One O�clock Jump,� �Polka Dots and Moonbeams�) do just that, while more esoteric material (�Sent for You Yesterday,� �Blee Blop Blues�) gives the set an eclectic sheen. The CD edition features several bonus tracks featuring lead vocals by Williams, most notably on the Big Joe Turner/Pete Johnson classic �Roll �Em Pete� and the swaggering post-blues �Smack Dab in the Middle.�
There are dozens of great Basie albums on the market, but �At Newport� arguably is the best.

I loved Dublin! I only wish I had done a little more sightseeing and a little less drinking. However, I had a birthday there with friends and parents so it was bound to be large!
The guiness factory tour is interesting, and ther bar at the top has the best view of the city...which is prettty grey really! Also they are said to have the best Guiness in the world, and you get a free pint after doing the tour.

Thanks for the recent hints. It was nice to see this request from a while ago still generating some info. I do appreciate it.
We are gearing up for the trip, and it will be here before I know it. We do plan to get around the country a bit -- with a car...but we've driven throughout the British Isles in rather difficult circumstances, so it won't be anything new. But, I've got a new, waterproof coat, warm clothes, a long list of recommendations from lots of friends (and hotel reservations just near St. Stephens Green and Trinity College). What more could I ask for?
My biggest concern thus far? Whether I can bring my knitting needles. US airlines will allow them on flights (I know...I can think of any number of ways they could become a weapon), but flights out of Heathrow (and Europe in general, I think) won't allow them on board. We're flying SF-Heathrow-Dublin. Guess they'll have to go in my baggage, and I'll twiddle my thumbs on that long flight.

What about some bendy needles? Are they allowed? Then you would have to transfer your knitting across...which could be distastrous! I'm not good at long flights...I get very bored and fidgety.
Ask your friends to write you letters for you to read on the plane.
I'm sure you will love Ireland. My parents hired a car and they loved being free to explore the countryside. I only saw Dublin, and there is much more to the country. I'll just have to go back!

If you're driving around Britain you may need an amphibious car in some places!! Also galoshes. We've been getting very wet weather recently. If you get the chance, do visit the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. It's well worth a look.

The Book of Kells has been mentioned, and yes, it is in Trinity College, but it is one of the most magnificent works I've ever seen. It's about 900 years old, and the book is shown under glass in the center of a 3-foot square table, allowing you to look right down on the page that is open. There's also an exhibit (at least there was six months ago when I was there) of the various inks and pigments used to create the colors that appear. Fascinating. When you exit the room with the Book of Kells, you enter the Long Room, which is part of the Trinity College library. It's so Harry Potter that it takes your breath away. It is long (duh?), with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, ancient books in stacks on either side that look like they go off to the horizon. PLEASE DO NOT MISS THIS. (Then you can get drunk.)
The goal is to fit it all in.

Ah, Chicago Bear! How nice to see your name again. And thanks for the Book of Kells input. It's already #1 on my Must See/Do list. Thanks to Donna for the recommendation, we've booked into a small hotel that's just by Trinity College and up the street a bit from St. Stephens Green. The location is ideal.
Finally, after all those years of reading Yeats and Joyce and Synge and Thomas, I get to breathe in some of the same air they breathed. I expect to come home full of Guinness and poetry. What could be better?

Hi Georgia, I've never been to Dublin but its on my list of to places to do. Friends who've been say its a fabulous place to go for just a weekend or even a week or two but its expensive. Also the weather is unpredictable so it'd be wise to pack an umbrella, a sweater and a raincoat and of course plenty of Euro money because that's the currency they use. Also make sure you have enough camera batteries etc those are expensive. Enjoy

Hope Georgia will come back and tell us what she gets up to in Ireland!
Just had friends over from British Columbia - they started off in Shannon, stayed in Galway, Killarney, Cork, Kilkenny, and Dublin before reaching the North. They then spent time with us and made an overnight trip up to Malin Head in Donegal (most northerly point of Ireland), the Giants Causeway and drove down the Antrim Coast Road. The weather was glorious - one of the best week's of the summer which has been a washout.
We are now having much cooler weather this week, with showers and gales.
Yesterday is history...
Tomorrow's a mystery...
Today is a gift...

On another thread, this is the reply posted by Georgia in answer to me enquring how her trip went -
"Champ...how lovely of you to notice my presence (also absence...). Thank you. I do suppose I was remiss upon our return from Ireland (ask Donna...haven't seen her, as I promised I would...since I got back...). I won't go into great detail here as it's the wrong forum, but let me just say that we LOVED Ireland, the Irish, the countryside, the food, the music. All of it. Could not have asked for a better holiday. Some day when I have much energy, I'll post a travel report in a more appropriate spot."
Thanks for letting us know you went to Ireland and returned alive to California to tell the tale!

Joe Barksdale & Yours Truly
- Austin, TX
- Indie Band

Your list is empty.
Save musicians, entertainers, speakers, and services, and they'll appear here.
Only the hippest and coolest of cats know what exactly an "indie" band is... and that's the point. Indie bands are those "undiscovered" groups that record for independent labels and play music that doesn't fit in with the mainstream radio airwaves. GigSalad has many indie bands anxiously waiting to rock your event, whether it be a public concert, private party, or wedding reception. Some indie bands may play original music, covers from your favorite indie bands, or pay tribute to one particular indie band. Either way, an indie band is bound to make your event cooler than the rest!
Indie music (or Indie Rock or Indie Alternative) is a subgenre of alternative rock music and emerged in the 1980s. Current groups that are widely known but still considered to be "indie" include Modest Mouse, Vampire Weekend, Death Cab for Cutie and MGMT. Original indie bands, tribute bands and cover bands are a great choice to hire for your club, private party, or public event.
Some things to consider when hiring an Indie Band are to make sure you listen to audio and watch video clips. This will ensure that you truly do book the best for your next event! Next, you want to read reviews and get references. Talk to people in the area about the band and get feedback. Finally, get a contract. Many professional indie bands require a deposit to secure them at your next event. Make sure to read through the contract carefully before contracting the band for your party.

Using data from quotes sent through GigSalad, we've gathered average nationwide pricing for hiring Indie Bands.
If you provide Indie Band services in the United States or Canada, get more gigs by joining GigSalad.

CNN's Human to Hero series celebrates inspiration and achievement in sport. Click here for videos and features.
(CNN) -- As power couples go, they have the sparkle to supersede even Posh and Becks.
He's a decorated soccer star with a World Cup title to his name; she has sold over 70 million albums worldwide.
No wonder then, that Gerard Pique and partner Shakira were included in Forbes' 2013 list of the world's most powerful pairings, with David and Victoria Beckham nowhere to be seen.
"Maybe it seems like it's really difficult to manage everything but we are trying to do it as naturally as we can," Pique told CNN's Human to Hero series.
"It's true that maybe sometimes we have to deal with some paparazzi but then I think we are now four years together -- you have to accept it and deal with it and it's no problem."
As a stalwart in defense for Spanish giants Barcelona, Pique can count three European Champions League crowns among his total of 19 domestic trophies, as well as the 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championship with Spain.
Shakira had a No. 1 hit single in 55 countries with "Hips Don't Lie," is a judge on U.S. talent show "The Voice" and garnered 595 million YouTube views (and counting) for her 2010 World Cup song "Waka Waka."
It was during shooting for the video that the two met; four years later they now have a son, Milan, and count as one of the most internationally recognized couples on the planet.
So how do they try to maintain a normal life in the midst of all the attention?
"We don't do very different things than the others," Pique explains.
"We are like a normal family and we try to spend a lot of time with our son and before that, just to be a good couple -- going to the cinema, going to have dinner. "
Pique is no stranger to scrutiny, though.
Playing for one of the world's biggest football clubs means every pass, tackle or movement is magnified and examined in minute detail by a menagerie of pundits and supporters.
That intensity of spotlight can easily manifest itself into pressure, and also fear of failure -- even though that word is barely part of Barcelona's recent lexicon.
But if ever the 26-year-old required a reminder that losing is not the end of the world, he only needs to look into his young son's eyes.
"It changed everything," Pique says of Milan's arrival in January last year.
"You can see that he is new in this world and he doesn't have negative connections -- he's all about laughing, smiling, being happy. It's so funny; I enjoy a lot playing with him.
"We lost 3-0 against Bayern Munich in the semifinals of the Champions League last season and I was really worried and really sad because it was a bad game and then I arrived home, saw Milan and everything changed.
Read: Abidal - God helped me fight cancer
"It's great because he's just 12 months now and it's unbelievable, he is starting to walk and we are enjoying this time a lot."
Pique insists there will be no obligation for his son to support Barca -- even though he was enrolled as a member upon birth -- but it seems inconceivable the inextricable link between the club and his family will ever be lost.
Four generations of the Pique clan have been Barca members and Gerard's grandfather, Amador Bernabeu, served as a club director for 23 years.
Pique was infused with a love for the team at an early age, recently telling the club's magazine he sings Barca's anthem every night before he goes to bed, explaining that it is "the only song I know all the way through."
So what exactly does Barca represent for him? "It means a lot," he replies. "It feels like I'm at home when I'm here in Camp Nou (Barcelona's stadium).
"For me since I was five or six, I came here with my family to watch every game every weekend and it means a lot to me now to be a first-team player because it was my dream since I was a kid.
"I'm enjoying every moment, every year I'm here, and it's good because in the last few years we won a lot of titles and I think we are having a really good moment."
'More than a club'
Barcelona certainly lives up to its "more than a club" motto which is rooted in its pride of the Catalonia region it inhabits.
The club's axiom allies the promotion of the area's language and culture alongside good causes (the players still bear the name of worldwide charity UNICEF on their shirts).
Their fans even staged a pro-independence protest in October 2012 during one of the biggest games in world football -- "El Clasico" against Real Madrid -- by singing the Catalan national anthem mid-match.

Credited with an estimated 270 million fans worldwide, Barca is a global advert for Catalonia.
"I think for Catalonia, FC Barcelona means a lot because it is one of the top clubs in the world and that means that it's a way to show what Catalonia is in the world," Pique says.
"Because sometimes, we are really small and Barcelona is an instrument to show to the world that we are good at a lot of things. One thing is to play football really, really well so for the Catalonian people, the team is really important.
"Not only the soccer team because we have basketball, handball and a lot of sports. I think the Catalonian people really identify with Barcelona -- the fans are really proud of the team and the club."
The magic of Messi
If Barcelona is a symbol of pride for Catalonia, then so is its prized possession -- Lionel Messi.
The Argentina striker was crowned FIFA World Player of the Year four times in a row -- that run was ended by Real's Cristiano Ronaldo this week -- and is feted as one of the greatest footballers the game has ever produced.
He moved to Spain to join the famed La Masia academy aged 11, alongside Pique, and has spearheaded Barca's assault on all the glittering prizes club football has to offer.
The team has claimed 16 trophies since the start of the 2008 season, when Pique returned after a four-year spell at Manchester United in England, and Messi's mountain of goals during that time have played an instrumental part in their success.
And Pique says it is a privilege to play with the 26-year-old, who netted an incredible 91 times in 2012.
Read: 'A marathon a day made me stronger'
"I was at the Golden Boot (awards) when he won and it was just amazing what he did," he says.
"It doesn't matter now if he's injured and there's some people that are saying maybe now he's not the best, but for me he always will be the best.
"He made all these fans in Barcelona enjoy a lot, playing such a great football and he made us win a lot -- the Champions League, the league.
"We understand each other just with a look one to the other. People like Lionel Messi or Cesc Fabregas, it's been like half of my life playing with them since we were 12 or 13 so we know each other a lot.
"When we are on the pitch, we know what he will do, what Leo will do because we've known each other for a long, long time."
Move to Manchester
For a spell early in Pique's career though, it looked like his Barcelona dream wouldn't be realized.
He moved to join Manchester United in 2004, spending four years under the tutelage of Alex Ferguson, one of the most decorated managers in the history of the game.
Pique credits his time in England as a steep learning curve, adapting to new methods on the field, and a new language and culture off it.
"I went there as a kid and I think I came back here in Barcelona as a man," he says of the time he spent under Ferguson, whose 26 years at United were littered with trophies.
World Cup dream
With Barca top of the Spanish league and having made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, another silverware-laden club season awaits.
But looming large on the horizon is the World Cup in Brazil, where Spain can become only the third team in history to defend the title.
"My goal is to try to win it again," Pique says.
"I think our careers are not very long. You can play 12 or 15, maybe 20 years if you are a good professional and you are lucky with the injuries -- you have to try to win anything you can.
"There are some really good players that didn't win anything in their careers, and we are really lucky to be part of a team like Barcelona and a team like the national team of Spain."
Even if Pique's career was to conclude tomorrow, he could still look back on a litany of fond memories and several years of almost unparalleled success.
And it is almost certainly his deep bond with Barcelona will persist long after he hands up his boots.
"Now I'm 26 and I hope I can play here for I don't know six, seven, eight years more but you never know what will happen in the future.
"Maybe as a coach; I cannot see myself now being a coach but maybe as a president, you never know."

In a more complete example scenario, we envision two replication channels to provide redundancy and thereby guard against possible failure of a single replication channel. This requires a total of four replication servers, two masters for the master cluster and two slave servers for the slave cluster. For purposes of the discussion that follows, we assume that unique identifiers are assigned as shown here:
Table 22.296 NDB Cluster replication servers described in the text
|Server ID
|Master - primary replication channel (M)
|Master - secondary replication channel (M')
|Slave - primary replication channel (S)
|Slave - secondary replication channel (S')
Setting up replication with two channels is not radically
different from setting up a single replication channel. First, the
mysqld processes for the primary and secondary
replication masters must be started, followed by those for the
primary and secondary slaves. Then the replication processes may
be initiated by issuing the
SLAVE statement on each of the slaves. The commands and
the order in which they need to be issued are shown here:
Start the primary replication master:
shellM> mysqld --ndbcluster --server-id=1 \ --log-bin &
Start the secondary replication master:
shellM'> mysqld --ndbcluster --server-id=2 \ --log-bin &
Start the primary replication slave server:
shellS> mysqld --ndbcluster --server-id=3 \ --skip-slave-start &
Start the secondary replication slave:
shellS'> mysqld --ndbcluster --server-id=4 \ --skip-slave-start &
Finally, initiate replication on the primary channel by executing the
START SLAVEstatement on the primary slave as shown here:
mysqlS> START SLAVE;Warning
Only the primary channel is to be started at this point. The secondary replication channel is to be started only in the event that the primary replication channel fails, as described in Section 22.6.8, "Implementing Failover with NDB Cluster Replication". Running multiple replication channels simultaneously can result in unwanted duplicate records being created on the replication slaves.
As mentioned previously, it is not necessary to enable binary logging on replication slaves.

New Year's Eve is upon us, and a lot of local spots are doing things -- or not doing anything, in some cases. Here's what I've managed to find:
- DC Reynolds is doing nothing! Sometimes this is a good thing if you don't want a crazy, expensive evening. No cover, no dress code, etc., and a New Year's Day brunch.
- The Red Derby is also a good bet for a low-key evening. I've ended up there a few NYEs. They're also going to have a Hair of the Dog Brunch on the 1st.
- Likewise with Kangaroo Boxing Club, no cover.
- Blue Banana will have no cover and a DJ, plus free champagne at midnight, or a $40 open bar. More info here.
- The Pinch at 3548 14th Street NW has a live blues band, Johnny Grave and the Tombstones, and no cover. Here's the Facebook event for it.
- Meridian Pint has a $45 prix fixe dinner with complimentary craft beer toast, and reservations are recommended. More here.
- Room 11 will be serving their normal menu, plus some holiday extras like Hoppin' John, truffles, caviar, and a lot more. Sounds tasty.
- Wonderland has a $5 cover with free champagne of beer (i.e. Miller High Life) toast at midnight and New Year's Day brunch.
- Acre 121 has a $10 cover and party favors, plus a live bluegrass band, the Family Hammer. Info here.
- Pete's Apizza is closing at 9 pm.
And if you know of any other going-on, post them in the comments!

The value of mergers and acquisitions activity fell 10% in the first quarter to about $406 billion, according to a report released Tuesday by Mergermarket.
That weakening contributed to poorer M&A results at Morgan Stanley (MS) and UBS (UBS), though Bank of America-Merrill Lynch (BAC) and Wells Fargo (WF) were able to make significant improvements in the dealmaking business.
JPMorgan (JPM) was the top dealmaker by volume in the first quarter. The bank served an advisor on 46 M&A's worldwide valued at about $124 billion. The other top players on the international scene were Goldman Sachs (GS) in the second-place spot, followed by Bank of America in third place, Lazard in fourth and Morgan Stanley fifth.
Wells Fargo ranked 13th, and UBS was 16th.
On a global basis, BofA grew the volume of its business by 43% year over year to $90 billion, and Morgan Stanley's M&A work dropped 41% to $57 billion. Wells Fargo, however, boosted its mega-merger business by 481% to $32 billion, and UBS saw its M&A activity fall off 4% to $15 billion worldwide.
In terms of the U.S.-based results, BofA came in behind JPMorgan in the No. 2 space, Morgan Stanley was No. 9, Wells was No. 12 and UBS No. 16.
Biggest Deals
The biggest deal of the quarter was the purchase of HJ Heinz by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital Partners for $27.3 billion. The bidders' advisors were JPMorgan, Lazard and Wells Fargo, while BofA-Merrill, Centerview Partners and Moelis worked with Heinz.
Michael Dell's move to take Dell private with Silver Lake for $21.8 billion was managed by a big group of dealmakers, including BofA-Merrill, Barclays and Citi. The PC maker itself was advised by Evercore, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Lazard.
Comcast moved to buy out GE's share in NBCUniversal for $16.7 billion in a transaction led by BofA and Morgan Stanley, representing Comcast, with Centerview and JPMorgan representing General Electric.
The American Airlines-US Airways $4.9 billion merger included advisors Lazard and Mesirow (for AMR) and Barclays and Millstein for US Airways.

Consensus Report
A Geospatial Framework for the Coastal Zone: National Needs for Coastal Mapping and Charting (2004)Ocean Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
High quality maps and charts of the coastal zone are essential for safe navigation, resolving jurisdictional boundaries, developing new policies and programs, and establishing inventories of resources and habitats. With 14 of the country's 20 largest urban corridors along the nation's coastline, coastal mapping and charting should be a priority. This report proposes an integrated and coordinated coastal mapping strategy for the nation, based on a consistent geospatial framework that would be the foundation for all data collection, analyses, and products. It also suggests mechanisms for enhanced communication among the many agencies and entities with mapping and charting responsibilities in the coastal zone in order to minimize redundancy and maximize operational efficiencies.
Key Messages
- One of the most serious impediments to coastal zone management is the inability to produce accurate maps and charts so that objects and processes can be seamlessly tracked across the land-water interface.
- The Tampa Bay Bathy/Topo/Shoreline Demonstration Project, a collaborative effort between NOAA and the USGS, has developed a suite of such tools (called Vdatum) and has demonstrated the feasibility of generating a seamless bathymetric/topographic dataset for the Tampa Bay area.
- The barrier to the production of continuous integrated mapping products across the land-sea interface is the inherent difference in the horizontal and vertical reference surfaces (datums) and projections used for maps and charts.
- The committee's vision for the future of coastal zone mapping and charting also includes mechanisms to ensure communication among all agencies and entities involved in order to minimize redundancy of efforts and maximize operational efficiencies.
- The database and data integration tools will be easily accessible to all users, public and private, from a single digital portal accessible through the Internet.
- The vision for the future of coastal zone mapping and charting requires the development of an integrated and coordinated coastal mapping strategy for the nation, based on a foundation on which all data collection, analyses, and products can be built.
- There will be national and perhaps international standards and protocols for data collection and metadata creation and readily available tools for data transformation and integration. With these tools the user community will be able to evaluate the accuracy and timeliness of data, change scales and projections, and seamlessly merge disparate datasets.
- These data and tools will permit the establishment of a nationally coordinated digital database across the land-sea interface consisting of seamless elevation and depth data that can be referenced or transformed to common vertical and horizontal datums have formed the foundation for a multitude of subsequent studies.
- To establish this foundation, there must be a national effort to collect the information and develop the tools necessary to seamlessly blend topographic (onshore) and bathymetric (offshore) data.
- Unlike the USGS topographic sheets, however, a coastal zone database must take account of tidal variation and be able to reconcile the differences between land and offshore datums.

Another slump in crude oil prices is pushing energy stocks sharply lower on Wall Street, setting off a broad decline.
Weaker earnings from Bank of America and other companies also pushed the market lower.
Crude dropped another $2 to $87 a barrel, the lowest price since December, as expectations for global demand weaken. Chevron dropped 2 percent.
Bank of America fell 4 percent after reporting earnings that fell short of analysts' expectations.
The Dow Jones Industrial average was down 144 points, or 1 percent, to 14,610 as of noon Wednesday.
Other indexes fell even more.
The Standard & Poor's 500 dropped 24 points, or 1.5 percent, to 1,550. The Nasdaq fell 63 points, or 1.9 percent, to 3,201, weighed down by a 5 percent slump in Apple.

A spokeswoman says one person has been wounded in a shooting at a school apartment complex near Coastal Carolina University, and a lockdown of campus buildings has been ordered.
School spokeswoman Martha Hunn said the gunman was still at large Tuesday night.
She said dispatchers received a call around 7:20 p.m. regarding a shooting at University Place, which is adjacent to S.C. Highway 544.
Hunn said the victim was transported to a local hospital.
According to the school's website, University Place houses almost 2,000 students.
Coastal Carolina University has an enrollment of slightly more than 9,000 students. Its website says there are 72 buildings on campus covering 630 acres. The school, founded in 1954, is in Conway, 15 miles northwest of Myrtle Beach.
