Clearly they sabotaged the whole thing to that end.
There's too much luck involved.
As a side note, Scott had me by .01 for 7th place earlier today but we seem tied again tonight.
Barring any corrections, congratulations to Jim (chuckles) on the win. Close call Justin, congrats on a good season and on very nearly calling how much you'd lose by (comment on your team - 16 points (actual 15) when you needed 17 from Vick). Still can't believe the Vikings won that one.

Natural gas: the domestic energy source?
By Dr. E. Kirsten Peters
To a geologist like me, it was most notable by its absence in the political campaigns that lurched to their conclusions in November. I'm talking about an energy plan with real teeth, one that addresses everything from national security to the cost of energy to greenhouse warming of the planet.
The best-known geologist in the country is T. Boone Pickens. He's been in the energy business for decades – he's now in his 80s – and he is still tirelessly devoted to pointing out to all who will listen just how much it costs us to not have a meaningful...

I've never dated.
Love knows no bondaries!!! But you got to be sure your partner and you are not the straying types.
love has no distance i think that if the two people truly care it can work out.

I've been in 3 long distance relationships... currently in one right now. They're hard as hell, but not impossible. The thing you need to remember is that they require effort on both sides, you're not in control of everything. While you may be willing to go on, your partner may get tired of the distance being between you, so they don't usually work out all the time. Still, it's worth taking a chance, right?

and there's always phones, Skype, MSN, web cams and paper and pencils... : D we've been together for 8 months now ^___^
whoa,, i never thought this thread will be as strong...
same with theemoking,, i've been in 2 LDR and in one rite now.. it never worked before tho, and same with xiaoran,, he made a whole bunch of reasons just for cover the fact that he likes another girl, well that hurts, a LOT, cuz i really loved him,, that's sad T_T
well,, i did it again, some said im stupid, but just like theemoking, even tho its really hard to be successful, there's nothing wrong in trying, right?
and same w/ cliver, yep,, msn, ym, webcams, phone cards, all i use for the sake of the LDR, trying to conquer the distance... ahhh... it still is not the same with the nonLDR one.. but it's worth trying?
my relatives been in an LDR and they got married, isnt it like the most magical thing ever? XD it is hard, but if both commit and trust each other i dont think it will be a hassle anymore...
sweet sixteen~
waste of time
ღ - ill get over it sooner than u think
it works out if they rlly love each other, cuz im in one rite now XD and we are madly in love
personally, i don't think they can work...i was in one w/ this guy who lived in NJ. i live in NY but it didn't work out. and i found out this week my friend has this bf who lives in Latvia!! she met him over Thanksgiving break...she survives on Skype, emails, and phone calls. but i honestly know, and still think they don't work. Unless both people are very devoted to one another.
as long as two people are meant for each other and really love each other. it can work.
It will rain
um.. tis tricky business.. =.=;

if you really love each other then it could work...

crap that never works
Life sucks, then you die
I object long distance relationship. You never know what the other is doing behind your back.
Ehhh... It's definitely hard. I've seen it work though (ie: my parents :3). It takes REAL commitment and trust between two people for it to work. Not sure if I'd be able to handle it, but who knows?

Horse owners say state rules will leave them on unhappy trailsBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
September 27. 2013 12:16AM
GOFFSTOWN --- Proposed changes to rules regarding horseback riding on state-owned land have the equestrian community pulling against the reins of what they consider unfair and unnecessary regulations. But the Department of Resources and Economic Development says the rules have always been in place — they're just being clarified.
Sophia Weeks of Goffstown travels to places like Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown or Lake Massabesic to ride her horse, Rio, on the trails.
"Horses need to get out of the ring and ride on the trails. It's natural for them," said Weeks. "And now we're being told we can't use the trails."
But Amy Bassett, public information and outreach specialist for the department, said that while the language of the rules may be changing, the substance is not.
"There's a misunderstanding of the rules," said Bassett. "Clarification is key."
Attorney Patricia Morris, whose practice focuses on laws regarding animals, said there are several elements of the rules that concern her and other riders.
Currently, the department's rules state that riding is limited to blazed, road-width trails unless otherwise posted.
The new rules would limit riders to hardened trails that must be at least eight feet wide.
By limiting the width and condition of trails, and requiring that the trails be posted, the state is essentially eliminating a large percentage of trails available to riders, Morris said.
Riders would also only be allowed to travel on trails specifically posted for equestrian use, Morris said, despite the fact that state law allows people to use trails everywhere for various forms of recreation unless otherwise posted.
Folks who drive horses using carriages would be banned from all state trails without specific approval.
But Bassett said horses have always been required to use road-width trails; the department is simply establishing what road-width means. Bassett said the rule isn't intended to limit riders.
"We're not saying that's the only place they can ride," said Bassett. "They can ride anywhere else it's posted for equestrian use."
Manure cleanup
Another change to the rules stipulates that owners of horses using the trails or beaches would be responsible for picking up their horse's manure.
Currently, according to the department, the rule states that hay or manure can't be disposed of on state property.
Bassett said there's always been a regulation regarding the disposal of animal waste, but it hasn't been listed specifically under the section in the rules that applies to horses.
"Now it's being called out in the horse section," said Bassett.
The requirement to carry out manure poses both logistical and safety issues, Morris said. In order to pick up manure, a rider has to get off the horse, let go of the reins, and somehow transport eight to ten pounds of waste safely out of the parks. Moving the manure off the trail might be a reasonable option, said Morris, but requiring a carry-out policy just doesn't make sense.
Equestrian Michael Williams of Stoney Brook Farm in Chichester, said that, according to the new rules, if the regulations aren't followed by everyone, the trails will be closed to all riders.
According to the department, the new rule states: The department may prohibit horses and other work animals in areas where such animals are permitted when the department determines there is a lack of compliance to this section by animal owners, or there is concern for public health and safety or resource protection.
Bassett said the department has always had the ability to restrict access or usage of state land to anyone when there are health or safety issues at play.
"We're not talking just about horses," said Bassett.
Bad for business
Heather Evans, owner of Follow Your Dreams Farm in Derry, said that having direct access to the Rockingham Rail Trail is a big draw for her fledgling business; losing the right to ride would hinder her farm's growth.
Equestrian Heather Tower said that folks who travel from out of state to ride the trails buy gas, stop for meals, and spend money in other ways while visiting. Limiting the trails would limit that income for many businesses, she said.
"People come from Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts to ride our trails in New Hampshire. They create revenue," said Tower. "I don't think the state is thinking about that."
Equestrian Patricia Koschek said the financial ramifications of the proposed changes would also affect the sale of horse properties throughout the state, and would reduce the income of businesses that sell equipment and supplies for horses.
"I think it's just crazy," said Tower.

Just added a gravatar.com plug-in for members who happen to have a social network avatar that the prefer to use rather than uploading a new one. It's all pretty automatic so nothing complicated. Members will still have the avatar option in their profiles. What's the plug-in about you ask? Here is a detailed description of what it does below… also credit to who developed it.
Very simple plug-in you can display a Gravatar icon as default avatar for users that don't have any avatar saved or selected. But if an user has its own avatar, this one will be used instead of Gravatar. So you can continue to use your forum's avatar system, and this plug-in will be used only when an avatar is not present.
The Gravatar is unique and automatically generated based on registration email address chosen by the user. And the avatar created is used in every other website that use this method, like Wordpress blogs.
Users that are registered to gravatar.com can upload their avatar image so that every website that uses Gravatar will display the uploaded personal image! So you can save your personal avatar one time and have it spread everywhere Gravatar system is used.

The OPA171, OPA2171, and OPA4171 (OPAx171) are a family of 36-V, single-supply, low-noise
operational amplifiers with the ability to operate on supplies ranging from 2.7 V (±1.35 V) to 36 V
(±18 V). These devices are available in micro-packages and offer low offset, drift, and bandwidth
with low quiescent current. The single, dual, and quad versions all have identical specifications
for maximum design flexibility.
Unlike most operational amplifiers, which are specified at only one supply voltage, the
OPAx171 family is specified from 2.7 to 36 V. Input signals beyond the supply rails do not cause
phase reversal. The OPAx171 family is stable with capacitive loads up to 300 pF. The input can
operate 100 mV below the negative rail and within 2 V of the top rail during normal operation.
These devices can operate with full rail-to-rail input 100 mV beyond the top rail, but with reduced
performance within 2 V of the top rail.
The OPAx171 series of operational amplifiers are specified from –40°C to +125°C.

It's no surprise that so many nominees return every year, since the same people generally nominate them.
Although the long list of semifinalists is compiled based on nominations from anyone who cares to go online and nominate someone, that list is trimmed down by 600 some-odd judges, comprised of local and national food and restaurant writers and winners from previous years, who vote in whatever categories they consider themselves knowledgeable (so a food writer in Georgia would be disinclined to vote in the category of best chef in the Pacific, for example). Those same judges vote on the nominees to pick the ultimate winner in each category, who will be announced at the annual gala, to be held this year at Avery Fisher Hall in New York City on May 6.
And now I'll endeavor to predict who will win the awards this year.
My predictions aren't based on whom I'd like to win, because that doesn't really matter. All of the nominees are wonderful at what they do. More importantly when it comes to these awards, they're good at marketing that fact, because like many awards, the Beard Awards are largely a popularity contest whose judges, being human beings, are swayed by buzz as much as they are by their own taste.
So that's how I make my selections, moderated by the assumption that, as a general rule, restaurants in large cities, who are likely to have more judges, have a better chance of winning than those in smaller cities, because judges aren't supposed to vote for restaurants where they haven't eaten.
The James Beard Foundation nominates many journalists, writers, broadcasters and designers, too. A full list of nominees can be found here.
One more note on the awards: Although it's nice to win, every nominee can use the nomination to drum up publicity and encourage guests to visit their restaurants. Once they win, they're out of the running for several years.
So really, staying nominated without winning can be better for business.
And now, without further ado, my predictions:
By definition, this is the only category in which all the nominees are new. Although State Bird Provisions and Empellón Cocina are enjoying considerable buzz, I think the San Francisco vote will be split, and the reputation of Grace's chef and owner, Curtis Duffy, ultimately will prevail and Grace will win.
Empellón Cocina, NYC
Grace, Chicago
The Ordinary, Charleston, S.C.
Rich Table, San Francisco
State Bird Provisions, San Francisco
The Aviary, The Violet Hour, Bar Agricole and Pegu Club are all back for another try, having been nominated last year. This award is a tricky one to predict, because you have the Grant Achatz team, for whom judges love voting, at The Aviary, pitted against Will Guidara and Daniel Humm at the NoMad, who are also darlings of the judges. It's possible that the two nominees each in Chicago and New York will split the vote, but that didn't happen last year, when PDT in New York won.
For Achatz & Co., not to win in a category twice would be extraordinary, so I think The Aviary will win.
The Aviary, Chicago
Bar Agricole, San Francisco
The Bar at the NoMad Hotel, NYC
Holman and Finch Public House, Atlanta
Pegu Club, NYC
The Violet Hour, Chicago
Chang, Danko, Kahan and Silverton are all back from last year's list. I guess the question here is: Is Sean Brock's star waxing faster than David Chang's is waning.
I think not. My guess is that David Chang will win, and that the afterparty will be fantastic.
Sean Brock, McCrady's, Charleston, S.C.
David Chang, Momofuku Noodle Bar, NYC
Gary Danko, Restaurant Gary Danko, San Francisco
Suzanne Goin, Lucques, West Hollywood, Calif.
Paul Kahan, Blackbird, Chicago
Nancy Silverton, Pizzeria Mozza, Los Angeles
Only Melissa Chou and Hedy Goldsmith are back from last year's list.
It's always risky to bet against anyone who spent any time in a Daniel Boulud kitchen, and that's where Dominique Ansel is from. But it's also dangerous to predict someone from the Mario Batali Empire, which includes Del Posto, will lose.
Nonetheless, I predict this is Melissa Chou's year.
Dominique Ansel, Dominique Ansel Bakery, NYC
Melissa Chou, Aziza, San Francisco
Ken Forkish, Ken's Artisan Bakery, Portland, Ore.
Hedy Goldsmith, Michael's Genuine Food & Drink, Miami
Brooks Headley, Del Posto, NYC
Blue Hill and Highlands Bar and Grill are back from last year's list, and either one could win easily. But the judges also just love the hell out of John Besh of August and Tony Mantuano of Spiaggia. I guess I could predict The Slanted Door just to be a maverick, but no, I think Blue Hill will win.
August, New Orleans
Blue Hill, NYC
Highlands Bar and Grill, Birmingham, Ala.
The Slanted Door, San Francisco
Spiaggia, Chicago
Piero Selvaggio, Caroline Styne and Phil Suarez are all back from last year. Judges love the One Off restaurants, but ABC Kitchen, which won the award for best new restaurant a couple of years ago, still seems to be a must-dine-at restaurant for every industry person who comes to town. I think Phil Suarez will win this year.
Maguy Le Coze, Le Bernardin, NYC
Donnie Madia, One Off Hospitality Group (Blackbird, Avec, The Publican, etc.), Chicago
Piero Selvaggio, Valentino Restaurant Group (Valentino, Valentino Vin Bar), Santa Monica, Calif.
Caroline Styne (Lucques, Tavern, A.O.C., etc.), West Hollywood, Calif.
Phil Suarez, Suarez Restaurant Group (ABC Kitchen, Jean Georges, wd~50, etc.), NYC
Topolobampo is the only returning nominee on this list, which I find interesting, but I think Del Post will win: It's a Batali restaurant, and being in New York City, it has a natural advantage because so many judges live here.
Del Posto, NYC
Quince, San Francisco
The Restaurant at Meadowood, St. Helena, Calif.
Topolobampo, Chicago
Vetri, Philadelphia
A16, The Barn at Blackberry Farm and Frasca are all back from last year. CityZen's chef, Eric Ziebold is an alumnus of the Thomas Keller empire, which gives it an advantage, but I think A16 is in touch with the current American Zeitgeist, so I think it will win.
A16, San Francisco
The Barn at Blackberry Farm, Walland, Tenn.
CityZen at Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C.
Frasca Food and Wine, Boulder, Colo.
Picasso, Las Vegas
David Wondrich is the only newcomer to this list, which I find extraordinary considering the revolution that's underway in American adult beverages these days. He's also the only one representing spirits.
But I think the judges likely will be biased in favor of wine. The three New York nominees will split that city's votes, and Merry Edwards will win.
Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Milton, Del.
Merry Edwards, Merry Edwards Winery, Sebastopol, Calif.
Garrett Oliver, The Brooklyn Brewery, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Neal Rosenthal, Rosenthal wine merchant, NYC
David Wondrich, spirits educator, Brooklyn, NY
You have to be 30 or younger to be nominated for this award. Nonetheless, Danny Bowien and Thomas McNaughton are back.
Mission Chinese has the distinct advantage of being in two cities, and I think that will be enough to push Mr. Bowien over the top.
Jimmy Bannos Jr., The Purple Pig, Chicago
Danny Bowien, Mission Chinese Food, San Francisco and NYC
Thomas McNaughton, Flour + Water, San Francisco
David Posey, Blackbird, Chicago
Blaine Wetzel, The Willows Inn on Lummi Island, Lummi Island, Wash.
Stephanie Izard and Andrew Zimmerman are back, joined by two other Chicago chefs. Dave Beran also was nominated last year, but in the Rising Star category.
It's possible that Jonathon Sawyer, who's on a popularity surge these days, could pull an upset, or that Great Lakes region judges could pick one of their Top Chef alumni, Stephanie Izard, but they really love voting for things having to do with Grant Achatz, so I think Dave Beran will win.
Dave Beran, Next, Chicago
Stephanie Izard, Girl & the Goat, Chicago
Jonathon Sawyer, Greenhouse Tavern, Cleveland
Paul Virant, Vie, Western Springs, Ill.
Andrew Zimmerman, Sepia, Chicago
Armstrong, Monis and Sunderam are all back from last year, but, the preponderance of D.C. nominees in this region tends to result in chefs from other cities winning.
I think Spike Gjerde's approach of super greenness and rehabilitation of Maryland's culinary heritage will move the judges to vote for him.
Cathal Armstrong, Restaurant Eve, Alexandria, Va.
Spike Gjerde, Woodberry Kitchen, Baltimore
Johnny Monis, Komi, Washington, D.C.
Brad Spence, Amis, Philadelphia
Vikram Sunderam, Rasika, Washington, D.C.
Justin Aprahamian, Gerard Craft and Colby Garrelts are all back on the list from last year. The two newcomers, both from Minneapolis, will likely split that vote. Of the other three, I think Gerard Craft's getting the most buzz these days, so I think he'll win.
Justin Aprahamian, Sanford, Milwaukee
Gerard Craft, Niche, Clayton, Mo.
Colby Garrelts, Bluestem, Kansas City, Mo.
Michelle Gayer, Salty Tart, Minneapolis
Jack Riebel, Butcher & the Boar, Minneapolis
Jamie Bissonnette and Gerry Hayden are back this year. Melissa Kelly's a longtime favorite of food writers, but I think Gerry Hayden will pull it out this year, anyway.
Jamie Bissonnette, Coppa, Boston
Joanne Chang, Flour Bakery + Cafe, Boston
Gerry Hayden, The North Fork Table & Inn, Southold, N.Y.
Melissa Kelly, Primo, Rockland, Maine
Barry Maiden, Hungry Mother, Cambridge, Mass.
Jason Franey, Naomi Pomeroy and Cathy Whims are all back from last year, although Gabriel Rucker's no stranger to Beard Awards, having been named Rising Star of the year in 2011, and Ethan Stowell has been nominated in this category several times in the past.
Portland is the absolute darling of the national dining world these days, but most of the judges voting in this category will likely be from Seattle. Canlis is a dining institution in that city, and Jason Franey has been credited with revitalizing its cuisine. I think he'll win.
Jason Franey, Canlis, Seattle
Naomi Pomeroy, Beast, Portland, Ore.
Gabriel Rucker, Le Pigeon, Portland, Ore.
Ethan Stowell, Staple & Fancy Mercantile, Seattle
Cathy Whims, Nostrana, Portland, Ore.
Congratulations to Jonathan Waxman, the only newcomer to this group. I'm usually pretty sure about who's going to win this one, but this year I think it's anybody's award. New York judges love April Bloomfield's casual style and anything Mario Batali touches, such as Del Posto. But I don't think they're done handing out awards to Michael White, who I think will win.
April Bloomfield, The Spotted Pig
Wylie Dufresne, wd~50
Mark Ladner, Del Posto
Jonathan Waxman, Barbuto
Michael White, Marea
Justin Devillier, Tory McPhail and Alon Shaya are back from last year, although Sue Zemanick spent a number of years on the Rising Star list before graduating to this one.
I think the power of the Brennans, who own Commander's Palace, will determine the winner of this award this year, and it will go to Tory McPhail
Justin Devillier, La Petite Grocery, New Orleans
Jeff McInnis, Yardbird Southern Table & Bar, Miami Beach, Fla.
Tory McPhail, Commander's Palace, New Orleans
Alon Shaya, Domenica, New Orleans
Sue Zemanick, Gautreau's, New Orleans
Edward Lee and Joseph Lenn are back from last year. I think the sheer number of judges in this category that are likely to be from Atlanta will push Steven Satterfield over the top this year.
Ashley Christensen, Poole's Diner, Raleigh, N.C.
Edward Lee, 610 Magnolia, Louisville, Ky.
Joseph Lenn, The Barn at Blackberry Farm, Walland, Tenn.
Steven Satterfield, Miller Union, Atlanta
Tandy Wilson, City House, Nashville
Kevin Binkley, Jennifer Jasinski and Hugo Ortega are back from last year. Although that gives them an advantage, Underbelly's all the rage these days. I think Chris Shepherd will win.
Kevin Binkley, Binkley's Restaurant, Cave Creek, Ariz.
Bryce Gilmore, Barley Swine, Austin
Jennifer Jasinski, Rioja, Denver Hugo Ortega,
Hugo's, Houston
Chris Shepherd, Underbelly, Houston
Chris Cosentino, Christopher Kostow and Daniel Patterson are all back from last year, making this a very Bay-Area-heavy roster. That's not unusual: Four Bay-Area chefs were on the list last year and Matt Molina of Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles pulled out the win.
Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo could very well do the same this year, but Corey Lee was chef de cuisine at The French Laundry, and judges love that. I think he'll win.
Chris Cosentino, Incanto, San Francisco
Christopher Kostow, The Restaurant at Meadowood, St. Helena, Calif.
Corey Lee, Benu, San Francisco
Daniel Patterson, Coi, San Francisco
Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, Animal, Los Angeles
And those, my friends, are my 2013 predictions for the James Beard Foundation Chef and Restaurant Awards. Best of luck to everyone.

Love this old-school style hooded jacket from Fly 53. A completely home-grown brand, Fly 53 has been on the scene for the past ten years or so, collaborating with and producing clothes for bands and musicians including Hot Chip and Super Furry Animals.
The jacket, a very reasonable £50, is just part of innovative and extremely wearable clothing range from the brand, which also includes this neat-o Star-Trek style knit (£40). Combine the jacket with a pair of loose combats or jeans and then slip on a pair of classic Stan Smith's for a distinctly old-school flavour.

Benefits and realities: Two unions living in the past
Heading into the autumn of 2013, two public-sector labor unions in New Hampshire continue to live in a pre-2007 world.
Back in the pre-recession days, public-sector labor unions enjoyed high pay and lavish benefits. The recession and subsequent Obamaconomy changed all that. Governments could no longer pretend that they could afford these luxurious contracts.
Numerous public-sector unions have been forced to accept the new reality, but some still hold out as if nothing has changed. In New Hampshire, the best examples are the State Employees Association and the Manchester Education Association.
In June the SEA's Collective Bargaining Senate rejected a new contract that would have given members their first pay raises in more than four years because it included health insurance deductibles of $500 for individuals and $750 for families, rising to $1,000 for families in the future. Last week negotiations broke down again. Union negotiators seem not to care that the average employee premium contribution in 2012 was $951 for individuals and $4,316 for families, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The Manchester Education Association has rejected city contract offers over premium contribution increases. The city wanted union members to contribute 12 percent of premium costs for a family plan, rising to 15 percent the next year. Members now pay 6.5 percent. The average contribution nationwide is 28 percent.
The world has changed. Taxpayers cannot afford, and will no longer accept, such generous benefits plans. The SEA and the MEA need to join the rest of us in the real world.

Baracuta Made In England G9 Navy £279
The original design from 1937 and worn by everyone from mods to scooter boys since, This is available in Navy and several other colours. As you'd expect for the price it is the attention to details that makes it stand out. It is made from 100% cotton, boasts the classic check polyester viscose lining, has ribbed nylon cyuffs and a vent on the back. Oi Polloi
I checked an hour or so ago and it appears that the temperature, in the south east at least, is heading for double figures tomorrow. Spring might not be here, but it is certainly on its way. And that means it is time to ditch that heavy wool coat that kept you warm all winter for something a little flexible and lightweight.
And when it comes to stylish casual jackets it doesn't get much getter than the Harrington. Always associated with the mod movement – they became popular in the late 60s on skin and suede heads and again in the late 70s and early 80s when they were championed by Jam fans – they are the staple of heritage brands and everyone from Ben Sherman through to Merc has a range.
Last year Damon Albarn seemed to spend most of the spring wearing his navy Fred Perry and there are plenty of other high profile Harrington wearers like Terry Hall and Daniel Craig.
For a classic you need look no further than Baracuta who were pioneers of the jacket back in the 1930s. If you want something with a twist check out the quilted version or the dog tooth one. Purists please note we have included a jacket or two that could be seen as a bomber jacket/Harrington hybrid. But then we make the rules.
Which one do you like? More on their history here.

U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann had urged his players to make a statement against outgunned Jamaica, but for the first hour or so the product was pretty much unspeakable.
Facing a team that had failed to qualify for the World Cup and eyeing a first-place finish in regional qualifying, a disjointed American offense instead had trouble finding the ignition key Friday before rumbling to life with two late goals within five minutes to seal the win and top spot in the group.
If it wasn't accomplished with the adroit panache Klinsmann had envisioned, it was a gritty and determined conclusion.
Substitute and Landon Donovan midfield rival Graham Zusi sparked the revival with a goal after the injured Galaxy playmaker was hauled off at the half with what turned out to be a recurrence of an ankle injury that prematurely forced him back to Southern California for treatment.
It was little surprise the players who looked hungrier that night and were most ready to respond Klinsmann's demand were those whose World Cup places are in doubt, such as former Chivas USA midfielder Sacha Klejstan, who also made a belated second-half entrance.
"The first half didn't go the way we hoped and we struggled to get a rhythm, a pace in the game," Klinsmann said. "We felt like we had to do something. Landon had problems getting into the game, but he wasn't the only one."
The performance didn't match the eventual result, Klinsmann's — and the team's — but creative response to adversity was encouraging and businesslike, displaying a willingness to adapt in the face of shifting circumstance that suggests an evolving maturity a year or so from Brazil.
Attention now turns to Panama to close out qualifying (live at 6:30 p.m. today on BeIN Sport).
Klinsmann has made four squad changes in releasing injured midfielder Jermaine Jones along with Donovan and goalkeeper Tim Howard and defender Matt Besler returned to their clubs. Former Chivas USA goalkeeper Brad Guzan and defender Clarence Goodson will get their chances against Panama as Klinsmann rotates his lineup to ensure everyone gets an opportunity.
Klinsmann may not have liked everything he heard from his team halfway through the two-game series so far, but there is ample evidence this is a team finding its identity and voice.
Donovan's status unknown
Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said little Monday about injured duo Omar Gonzalez and Landon Donovan ahead of Wednesday's 7:30 p.m. game against the Montreal Impact at StubHub Center.
Arena simply told reporters no decisions had been made about either player, without discussing the severity of Donovan's left ankle injury, which was evaluated Monday by the club.
Donovan originally suffered the injury Sept. 14 against D.C. United, which forced him to miss three games, although he has appeared in the last two MLS contests. He aggravated the injury against Jamaica on Friday, prompting the question why he was even playing in a meaningless national team game.
Gonzalez had pulled out of the pair of U.S. World Cup qualifiers after a hip injury he had been dealing with for some time flared up during the SuperClasico win over Chivas USA.
There are only three MLS games remaining in the Galaxy's season, including a 6 p.m. Sunday clash against the sixth-place San Jose Earthquakes, who are one point and two places behind L.A. just outside the playoff slots.
The Galaxy will close out the season Oct. 27 in Seattle against the struggling Sounders.
Recent acquisition Clint Dempsey, who has yet to score for the club, suffered a left shoulder sprain in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Portland that initially was described as a dislocated shoulder. His status is unclear for the Sounders' contest Saturday against FC Dallas.
The Sounders, losers of three in a row, need one more win to secure a playoff berth.

The Bears defense took one look at the new and improved Falcons' offense, and then destroyed it.
The Bears sized up quarterback Matt Ryan and his new rookie receiver and his established star on the other side, and blew them up.
Blew up all the Falcons, in fact. Almost beheaded Ryan while they were doing it.
It was all you could eat for the Bears' defense. Julius Peppers was all over the line and all over the Falcons backfield. Henry Melton matched Peppers' two sacks, looking as special as Lovie Smith said he would. Amobi Okoye had a sack, as well.
There was a copyrighted forced fumble by Charles Tillman, and omygod, there was Brian Urlacher. A...

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
U.S. stock-index futures climbed slightly on the heels of a jobs report that showed a bigger-than-expected increase in payrolls.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 8:37 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 16 points to 13337, S&P 500 futures rose 4 points to 1458 and Nasdaq 100 futures gained 9.5 points to 2731.
Despite a lackluster performance Thursday, the markets have posted a strong performance during the first week of 2013. The Dow has leapt higher by some 3.5%, while the broader S&P 500 has surged 4.1%.
With Congress fading out of the picture for the moment, traders are getting a fresh chance to focus on the U.S. economy.
The Labor Department said non-farm payrolls increased by 155,000 in December, beating expectations of an increase of 150,000. The unemployment rate held steady at 7.8%, compared to expectations of 7.7%. November's jobless rate was revised up by 0.1 percentage point to 7.8%. Digging into the report, the private sector added 168,000 jobs, while the government shed 13,000.
There are two other reports due at 10:00 a.m. ET. One from the Institute for Supply Management is expected to show the U.S. services sector expanding at a just slightly slower rate in December than it did the month before. The other from the Commerce Department may show factory orders having revved up by 0.4% in November on a month-to-month basis.
Commodities came under heavy selling pressure after minutes from the Federal Reserve released Thursday showed many members of the central bank's policy-setting board see asset purchases ending this year. Those remarks pushed the dollar higher against a basket of world currencies Thursday and Friday, which tends to put pressure on dollar-traded commodities.
Gold tumbled $38.50, or 2.3%, to $1,636 a troy ounce. The benchmark U.S. crude contract slid $1.06, or 1.1%, to $91.87 a barrel. Meanwhile, wholesale New York Harbor gasoline sold off by 1.4% to $2.758 a gallon.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 fell 0.27% to 2694, the English FTSE 100 dipped 0.01% to 6047 and the German DAX slipped 0.18% to 7742.

Photography Thread
You should take all the pictures and post them as a comment to this, in case we reach more than one page and it auto puts them on the top of each page..
Here's a pretty good show I got of Paul Ray from False Prophet.. I don't have any fancy cameras but I thought it was a pretty great shot nonetheless.
Good call.
And definitely a good shot. I'll have to find my pics from Meshuggah when they replaced Kidman with a cardboard cutout (He was too sick to scream)
Also don't know if it's my work interest or not, but all your pics are not loading. Just little small dead boxes.
Its probably me, I tried direct linking to my shared iCloud account rather than uploading them here or elsewhere. I'll fix them at some point.
Ok, finally got them uploaded here and posted.
I finally got my DSLR brought to me out here, so I'm gonna be trying to take more/better pictures from all the places I visit while travelling for work. For now what I have to share are mostly pointed at being desktop wallpapers. All of these have been (mostly heavily) touched up in iPhoto... I'm a pretty big fan of the over-saturated look, so, yeah.
Anyways, these are all from Amman, Jordan; Abu Dhabi & Dubai, UAE; and Doha, Qatar. No particular order, so if you want to know exactly what one of them is just ask.
These were all shot on a Nikon D5200, using either a Nikkor 18-55mm & 55-300mm or a Sigma 10-20mm that I picked up during the trip.
You've got some really neat pictures there, Chain. Would be interesting with info about your cam, objective, exposure etc.
Well luckily my camera tags the photos with all that info and I can see it in iphoto
Any picture in particular? They're pretty much all a bit different. For instance, the first picture was with the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G Lense, taken with ISO640, at 18mm, 0EV, f/4.5 and 1/640 on the shutter.
The second was the AF-S DX VR Nikkor 55-300mm 4.5-5.6G ED, ISO640, 55mm, 0EV, f/4.5, 1/800...
I thought mainly about no. 5. The depth in it is awesome. Really like the one with the straws aswell. All good pictures(unless we're gonna be critical and say that the frogs are somewhat out of focus, but we won't mention that )
Haha yeah I know the frogs are, it was the best of 5 or so shots though. That one I remember I was using the 300mm lense and had to zoom fairly far in. Shooting through some scratched up glass and past a light. Between the heavier lense, longer shutter speed and hand-held shooting...plus being rushed by the wife...I wound up without a great shot. But with the way the frogs happened to be sitting, I just couldn't pass up using it anyways, that pose is just too cool IMHO.
ill get the specs on #5 later. That is a shot standing right next to the front of the grand mosque, looking up at the detail work done on the side (you can sort of see it from the front-on shot I posted, all the stuff to the right of the main entrance. It was with the tamron 10-20 lense, I only used that lense at the mosque that day, the rest I'll have to look up.
edit: Tamron 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM
ISO100, 20mm, 0EV, f/9, 1/320
Here's the original. For most of them I don't take so much liberty in totally CHANGING the coloration, I just enhance the shit out of whats there. This one, however, was more deliberately done as a desktop wallpaper and I wanted it to be blue
Thanks for for the comments. I feel a little guilty about doctoring them so much....but they just look so much better when the colors are exaggerated and in some cases the definition is brought up a few notches. Maybe I'll post some originals for comparison.
Great thread idea and great pics, especially of the grand mosque, nice and sharp. I recognise the view under the chandelier and of the marble columns. That first lobby chandelier I remember I was with my friend and read somewhere that the grand mosque had the biggest chandelier in the world.. I said to the Arab attendant in the dish-dash upon entering the lobby "ohhhh my goodness, is this the largest chandelier in the world?" (As I thought it was absolutely enormous)..
he chuckle and said "no sir... THIS is the largest chandelier in the world! (As he escorted me a few steps into the main atrium)
i nearly shat shay myself then and their. Talk about opulence
Haha yeah I know what you mean. Largest chandelier, hanging right over a 60,000sq ft carpet. The whole thing is definitely an absolutely impressive thing to behold. I'd been to Abu Dhabi a couple of times before actually going in and touring it and it still hasn't lost that 'holy, shit.' effect when driving by and seeing it from the highway.
Here's a shot from sitting at our hotel pool. I'm not really big on going to the pool but my wife is, so I figured I'd compromise and carry the camera down to play around with it. I wound up like 100 or so shots of water like this Anyways the Grand Mosque is the structure thats hazed out in the background. It was not far from our hotel, across a small body of water, but I unfortunately had an obstructed view from the pool area and our room was on the other side of the hotel.
Took the 70-200L for a spin in Kalimantan on a recent trip
I dont want to clutter up the place with lots of pics but if anyone wants to see more i will post more of this 'excursion'. if not i'll post something else from somewhere else next time.

Your current filters are…
by Kurt Abrahamson and Kate Sirkin
Like the proverbial tree falling in the forest, content might as well not exist if there's no one to acknowledge it. Every time you "Like" that cute cat video, tweet the latest controversial current event, or share an awesome deal with a friend, you validate the existence of that content. If it's shared, it matters, has value and is impactful. Luckily for content publishers – be it a media conglomerate or just that kid who wants you to share a YouTube video of him reenacting Britney's "Oops!…I Did It Again" – you're also engaging in a behavior that's hard-wired as a basic human impulse. We love to share, but we're a selective bunch.
So how do web publishers compel us to share and what makes certain content irresistible? And how do brands tap into the immense power of sharing? We'll dive into examples of hyper-shareable content and examine how sharing provides insight into broader human behavioral patterns. Finally, we'll discuss how sharing is radically democratizing the way we think about spheres of influence. With sharing, everyone is important in the sharing economy. So instead of one person sharing with 1,000 friends, it's more important that 1,000 people share just once. Virality doesn't matter because everyone is an influencer.

text: UPDATED: Merrimack couple wanted for sex trafficking in NYC By KIMBERLY HOUGHTONUnion Leader Correspondent September 10. 2013 6:21PM ZHAN WEI LIU MERRIMACK — Police are investigating a local massage parlor after its owners were arrested this week on sex trafficking charges out of New York. Asian Massage, a business that opened about two weeks ago at 416 Daniel Webster Highway, is now being investigated by police for possibly promoting prostitution. This past weekend, police arrested the married owners of the store — Zhan Wei Liu and Bo Xuan Zhang of 11A East Ridge Road — on fugitive from justice charges stemming out of New York. According to court documents, the couple is facing several charges, including two counts of sex trafficking, conspiracy, two counts of falsifying business records, promoting prostitution and two counts of money laundering. Local police were helping the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office in New York to locate the couple. "I had previously received a photo of the two parties to assist in identifying them," Sgt. Joseph Goodridge wrote in a police affidavit on file at the 9th Circuit Court, Merrimack District Division. Goodridge, along with Lt. Denise Roy, were conducting surveillance around 9 a.m. on Saturday when they located Liu and Zhang, 30 and 33 respectively, leaving their apartment and entering a Nissan SUV with a Texas license plate. After following the vehicle, patrol officers stopped the man and woman and took them into custody, according to court records. Neither has any prior arrests, according to court documents, adding they both are living in the United States with a green card. They have been residing in Merrimack for about two months, and previously lived at 8637 5th Avenue in Brooklyn, N.Y., according to court records. They were arraigned on Monday with the help of an interpreter, at which time Judge Gregory Michael set their bail at $500,000 cash. The couple signed a waiver of extradition, and is scheduled to be back in Merrimack court on Sept. 19 for a probable cause hearing. In addition to the sex trafficking charges out of New York, Merrimack police said Liu and Zhang's new massage parlor in Merrimack is being investigated for similar offenses. "Evidence was recovered at the business, and both the New York City authorities and Merrimack police are continuing their investigations," police said in a release, not elaborating on what type of evidence was discovered. Asian Massage has since closed. firstname.lastname@example.com Crime Merrimack

FSA consolidates IT reporting systems
Aims to improve efficiency
The Financial Services Authority is replacing its hotchpotch of IT systems with a single mandatory electronic reporting (MER) system.
The £6.5m contract, which has been awarded to Capgemini UK, is aimed at improving efficiency at the Financial Services Authority (FSA) by substantially reducing paperwork and clerical processing.
It is also intended to ease the regulatory burden on the financial services industry by making reporting simpler and easier, as well as improving the accuracy, consistency and availability of information within the FSA.
Under the new system, it is likely to be easier to amend the reporting required as new legislation takes effect or as the FSA's remit changes. It should also be able to handle more than the 28,000 businesses which currently fall under the FSA's regulatory scope.
The new system is scheduled to be up and running from July next year. Capgemini will deploy its service oriented architecture in designing the MER system and integrating it with the FSA's new IT architecture.
