OCEANPORT, N.J. – Thoroughbred racing's 3-year-old championship season goes into high gear at Monmouth Park on Sunday with a field of seven contesting the 46th running of the $1 million William Hill Haskell Invitational (G1), signature event of the track's summer season.
The Haskell, which has produced seven divisional champions the past 12 years, including Horse of the Year 2009 Rachel Alexandra, has drawn some of the best sophomores in training, including Preakness Stakes winner Oxbow; Kentucky Derby second Golden Soul, and the nearly perfect Verrazano, who has won five of six lifetime starts.
Trainer Bob Baffert, who has won an unprecedented six runnings of the Haskell, including the last three in a row, comes to town with Power Broker, who is back in top form as his workouts show.
The Haskell field, in post position order:
Pick Six Racing's Vyjack, Paco Lopez, 12-1; Crossed Sabres Farm's Pick of the Litter, Jesus Castanon, 15-1; Charles E. Fipke's Golden Soul, Robby Albarado, 8-1; Gary and Mary West's Power Broker, Rosie Napravnik, 3-1; Calumet Farm's Oxbow, Gary Stevens, 2-1; Repole Stable's Micromanage, Joe Bravo, 6-1, and Verrazano, owned by Let's Go Stable, Michael B. Tabor, Mrs. John Magnier & Derrick Smith, John Velazquez, 9-5.
The mile and an eighth Haskell heads a card of 14 races on Sunday, and is the richest of seven stakes events to be run during the afternoon. Other graded events on the card are the $200,000 Molly Pitcher (Grade 2) for fillies and mares, which goes as the sixth race; the $200,000 Monmouth Cup (Grade 2) for older horses at a mile and a sixteenth, which goes as the ninth race; the $150,000 Matchmaker (Grade 3) for fillies and mares on turf, set as the fifth race, and the $150,000 Oceanport (Grade 3), for older horses on turf, which will be the 12th race.
Post time for the Haskell, which goes as the 13th race, is set at 6:20 p.m. The race will be aired as part of the full-card Monmouth television coverage by the TVG network.
Admission gates will open at 10 a.m. The first race will go off at 12 noon. Admission to Monmouth on Haskell Day will be $5 for the grandstand and $8 for the clubhouse, with seniors (55 and older) admitted to the grandstand for $3 and the clubhouse for $5. Children 12 and under are free.
All paid admissions will receive a free 2013 Haskell cap while supplies last.
In addition, all military personnel, in uniform or with military ID, will be admitted free and will receive a free cap.
The day's wagering program will include two special wagers with guaranteed pools. There will be a 50-cent Pick 4 on races 10-13 with a guaranteed pool of $250,000, and there will be a 50-cent Pick 5 on races 8-12 with a guaranteed pool of $100,000.
The first stakes event on the card is the $100,000 Teddy Drone, which goes as the third race. The other stakes event to be decided is the $100,000 Regret (11th).
The Molly Pitcher, one of the most famous events on the Monmouth schedule, will have its 68th running on Sunday. The mile and a sixteenth event drew a field of six, including stakes winners Funny Proposition and Joyful Victory.
The Monmouth Cup will be having its first running on Haskell Day this year. It drew a field of seven, including Grade 1 winner Take Charge Indy.
The Matchmaker, a unique event which offers stallion seasons to the first three finishers in addition to the purse, will be having its 47thrunning. The nine-furlong turf test drew nine fillies and mares.
The Oceanport, being run for the 67th time, attracted a field of 11, including Tune Me In, winner of the 2012 edition of the race.
Verrazano has been established the 9-5 morning line favorite because of his smashing effort in the Grade 3 Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth on June 16, when he overpowered his field to win by more than nine lengths.
Trained by two-time Haskell winner Todd Pletcher, the More Than Ready colt was unbeaten in four starts going into the Kentucky Derby. In that race, he ran close up to a hot pace and tired in the stretch to finish 14th of 19. The Pegasus was his first start since that effort and marked a return to top form for Verrazano.
Oxbow, trained by D. Wayne Lukas, who won the 1995 Haskell with Serena's Song, could not overcome a rough stretch trip in the Derbyand ran sixth. He got his revenge in the Preakness Stakes, however, when he led every step to score by nearly two lengths. In the subsequent Belmont Stakes, the Awesome Again colt ran second to palace Malice after contesting the pace the entire mile and a half.
Golden Soul, a dedicated stretch runner trained by Dallas Stewart, stayed on the rail in the Kentucky Derby and was up in time to be a surprise 34-1 second to Orb, just two and a half lengths behind. The Perfect Soul colt never got untracked in the Belmont Stakes, finishing ninth of 14.
Power Broker was on the Triple Crown trail early this year, but derailed when he finished a poor fifth in the Santa Anita Derby. Since then, Baffert has sent him out to win an allowance race at Churchill Downs and an overnight stakes at Belmont Park on June 8. His most recent workouts at Del Mar have indicated an improving colt, and Baffert was encouraged to send him to Monmouth to seek a seventh Haskell victory.
Micromanage, a son of Medaglia d'Oro trained by Pletcher, has a perfect record at Monmouth. He won his seasonal debut here in May, finished second to Power Broker in the Easy Goer at Belmont on June 8, and then turned in a dramatic performance to run away with the Long Branch Stakes here on July 7.
Vyjack, trained by Rudy Rodiguez, was the star of the winter season at Aqueduct, but has not won since taking the Gotham Stakes (G3) in March.
Pick of the Litter, a lightly raced colt by Kitten's Joy, was third in the Lexington Stakes (G3) last out for trainer Dale Romans, who sent out Shackleford to run second in the 2011 Haskell.

Legislative delegation talks Cherokee at forum
CANTON — Cherokee County's legislative delegation updated Cherokee residents Monday night at a forum sponsored by the Cherokee County Republican Party.
The state representatives and senators told the crowd of more than 60 about the bills they are sponsoring and their ideas for the future.
State Sens. Brandon Beach (R-Alpharetta) and Barry Loudermilk (R-Cassville) were in attendance, as were Reps. Mandi Ballinger (R-Canton), Michael Caldwell (R-Woodstock), John Carson (R-Marietta), Calvin Hill (R- Canton) and Scot Turner (R-Holly Springs. Sen. John Albers (R-Roswell) was out of town for his son's college interviews.
Hill is pursuing a bill to disallow anyone owing state or federal taxes to seek public office in Georgia.
He first introduced the measure in 2010, when it failed to garner the 120 votes needed to become a constitutional amendment. The vote was 116 in favor to 18 against.
"There were 34 Democrats that walked on it. Hopefully, this time we'll find out who is for ethics reform and who isn't," he said.
As chair of the House Code Revision Committee, Hill said he and the committee members are reviewing the state's code and looking to remove conflicting or obsolete laws.
"It's going to be a long process going through it," he said. "I hope we find several bills that need getting rid of."
Loudermilk said the state and federal governments need to go back to basics.
"We have an overbearing executive, and out-of-control federal government and a complacent Congress," he said, adding that states need to take back the lead from the federal government.
Loudermilk has introduced a bill that would allow veterans under the age of 21 to carry firearms.
"We send these guys off to foreign lands and give them a semi-automatic weapon ... but when they come back home, because they're 19, we tell them they're not mature enough to handle their own protection," he said.
Loudermilk's remarks were met with applause from those in attendance.
Loudermilk added that companies providing security services can't hire young veterans because they are not allowed to carry weapons in Georgia.
When later asked about veterans who had been dishonorably discharged, Loudermilk said those discharges only arise out of serious issues.
"In almost every case, there's something that would disqualify them. There wouldn't be any reason, really, to write that into the law," he said.
Loudermilk said he is also working on a religious liberty act and cleaning up some of the state's immigration laws.
Ballinger said she has signed onto several pieces of legislation but is only sponsoring one bill so far, local legislation that would allow Cherokee County State Court to collect a $5 technology fee on all filings and use the collections for technology improvements.
As a member of the Judiciary Non-Civil committee, Ballinger has been reviewing two bills: a rewrite of the state's wiretap laws and a bill to allow offenders to be charged with felony obstruction for hindering the duties of a park ranger, in line with obstruction against other law enforcement.
"A lot of times, we're making minor tweaks, but hopefully they'll make our state a little better," Ballinger said.
Beach said the state needs to change its tiered tax credit system that gives businesses different levels of tax credits for locating in certain counties. Counties are tiered based on unemployment rate, per capita income and the percentage of residents under the poverty line.
"You can't force a company to go where it doesn't want to go," Beach said.
While Beach said he supports initiatives like the Opportunity Zone, he noted Cherokee County should be cautious about "giving away the farm" to attract businesses.
Beach has introduced a resolution to phase out the state's income tax over time.
He has also introduced a bill to change the way the state handles medical malpractice.
"Doctors are ordering tests that are unnecessary and unneeded to protect themselves," he said.
In Georgia, Medicaid was billed $700 million for unnecessary medical tests in 2012, Beach said.
"If we could cut out $700 million, we wouldn't have to furlough teachers," he said.
Caldwell pre-filed legislation calling for term limits, which has gone to committee.
"We have no idea what future Congresses are going to look like. This is protection for future Georgians," he said.
Caldwell said he has signed in support of six bills granting expanded access to firearms.
If the legislature were to tighten the state's gun laws, Caldwell said such a move could be detrimental to industry and could ward off gun manufacturers looking to open facilities.
"We have a unique opportunity if we want to continue being that bastion of freedom as far as the Second Amendment," Caldwell said.
Carson, a member of the Ways and Means committee, said he does not support plans for a new Atlanta Falcons stadium built with taxpayer money.
"I personally don't see what's wrong with the (Georgia) Dome, but it is economic development. Just don't use taxpayer money to build it," he said.
Carson added that he is also against using tax money to subsidize solar power.
He has introduced House Bill 312, a bill to update state code on several insurance matters.
Carson has introduced a bill that would allow counties to collect Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax at a fractional rate. The Cobb and Cherokee county commissions have signed resolutions in support of the bill.
"This would give citizens and counties flexibility. They can say 'What do we need?' and finance accordingly. It would get rid of these filler projects," Carson said, adding that governments often add smaller projects to SPLOST lists to ensure they will be able to spend all the sales tax collected.
Carson has filed a bill to make the title fee that goes into effect March 1 tax deductible for state purposes. The ad valorem fee has been tax deductible, he said.
Turner said he wants to move toward a complete ban on lobbyist spending.
"I want to eliminate tax money being spent on lobbying activities. We should be able to work with local people. They shouldn't have to hire a lobbyist," he said.
Caldwell's term limits bill is the first Turner has signed onto after being sworn in last week.
Turner said he wants to make it easier for Georgia businesses to do business with the state government.
Audience member Jack Staver asked the legislators if they would stand up against a proposed citizen lobbying fee.
Turner said he would not support limiting free speech but would support a fee for paid lobbyists.
"If someone comes down and is representing a group of people, there's a serious difference between that and someone who's paid," he said.
Caldwell said he couldn't commit to voting one way or another on the bill that includes the lobbying fee because the bill has already changed multiple times.
"If it looks the way it does right now, I will stand with you. We ought not to be taxing citizens for free speech," he said.
Loudermilk said paid lobbyists should register and pay a fee to cover the registration costs.
"If the government says that because you've come to the Capitol five times, you have to register, that's just a way of limiting your voice," he said.
Loudermilk said he thinks more exposure is important for ethics reform.
"If you have full disclosure, you can determine whether your government is ethical or not," he said.
Mike Sinco, a teacher with the Cherokee County School District, asked the legislators where they stand on House Bill 140, a bill that would expand a program allowing citizens up to $3,800 in tax credits for donating to non-profit organizations that provide scholarships for private schools. Sinco said he takes issue with the state's refusal to release information about where the money goes.
Carson said the tax credits cost the state less than enrolling a child in public schools.
"It costs $4,300 per pupil for public education. This is a $3,800 credit, with the additional money coming from the parents. This credit is less than the state's portion to educate a pupil," he said, adding that he is in favor of school choice.
He said the credits could leave more money per pupil for children who still attend public school.
"I'm not saying yes, and I'm not saying no. I'm saying it's an interesting idea," he said.
Sinco said he wanted to see more transparency and proof that the scholarships created by the tax credits are going to low-income students.
Carson said the program was intended for all Georgia students, not just low-income ones.
Robert Chambers asked if anything could be done to reverse tax increases passed at the end of the 2011 legislative session, including an Internet sales tax.
Loudermilk said voting for the 2011 bill was a tough decision, but he felt it contained "more good than bad."
Carson also said the bill contained good and bad and noted that the state is not taxing all Internet sales.
"It was a tax cut overall because it repealed the marriage penalty," he said. "I could not find myself not voting for an overall tax cut."
Dean Sheridan asked about transportation plans in light of the failure of TSPLOST.
"Regional is not going to work in this state," Loudermilk said. "It has to be equal taxation across the state."
Loudermilk said the price of petroleum is directly tied to the cost of road projects and suggested revamping the gas tax as a percentage instead of a flat rate.
"When the price per gallon of gas increases, the cost to build roads increases, and revenues are still down because the tax is per gallon," he said, adding that the state should also look to move away from federal gas taxes.
Ballinger, a member of the house Transportation Committee, drew booing from the audience when she said she is "excited" about the committee's work on the reversible toll lanes planned for Interstate 575.
She also said the committee is working on private-public partnerships and other initiatives.
Beach said Georgia is a donor state when it comes to federal gas taxes, getting back 88 cents for every dollar paid.
"If we got that 12 cents, that would go a long way," he said.

David Letterman Should Come to Lincoln Saturday
Ball State isn't exactly a household name among college football fans, but I bet most of you know its most famous alum. He's a television producer, a philanthropist and an IRL IndyCar Series car owner.
If you're still scratching your head, here are two more clues, which should be dead giveaways. Ball State's most famous alum is an award-winning American comedian and late-night talk show host.
Still don't know? David Letterman is your man, and I see no reason why he can't do his Late Show on CBS on Friday night in New York, then hop on a plane for the Nebraska-Ball State football game that begins at 11:30 Saturday morning in Lincoln. Being the world-wide entertainment force he is, Letterman should be able to have his tan pants seated among the Sea of Red at Memorial Stadium for lunch and be back home in Indiana, or New York City, by supper.
If Will Ferrell, Keanu Reeves, Judge Clarence Thomas and Rush Limbaugh can come to Lincoln one weekend, why can't America's most beloved gap-toothed talk-show host stop in for a Runza, a slice of Valentino's pizza or even a Fairbury Brand hot dog while watching his favorite team take on the Big Red?
Doesn't he owe it to his alma mater? I mean if Stephen King can follow Maine to Lincoln in 2005, David Letterman can follow Ball State to Memorial Stadium this weekend.
Last Friday, when Letterman visited Ball State to dedicate its new $21 million communication and media building, 3,000-plus people showed up. Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels bestowed the state's highest civilian honor on Letterman, but Daniels didn't show up to present the award. Letterman got the last laugh on that one.
In the spirit of giving Letterman plenty of reasons to come to Lincoln, I asked a a couple of Late Show fans in the our media relations office, Jeff Griesch and Shamus McKnight, to throw together their Top 10 Reasons Why Letterman Should Come to Lincoln. They even let me get involved. We thought the result was good enough to submit to the Late Show with David Letterman web site and its Wahoo Gazette editor, Michael McIntee. The idea is to spur the folks at the home office in Wahoo, Nebraska, to encourage Letterman our way.
Send us your Top 10 Reasons Why David Letterman Should Come to Lincoln. If you don't have 10, send two or three. We'll post the best the Husker Nation has to offer right back here.
Respond to Randy with your comments.
Here's our Top 10. We'd like to hear yours.
Top 10 Reasons Why David Letterman
Should Come to Lincoln Saturday
10. Nebraska's Johnny Carson Theater is empty and air-conditioned on game days.
9. It's an opportunity to surprise hard-working employees with cookies at the Late Show home office in Wahoo.
8. Warren Buffett invited Regis in 2001 – and he didn't show up. What the heck was he thinking?
7. Andy Roddick digs the Huskers.
6. You won't have to share the spotlight in Lincoln – all the big celebrities came to town last week.
5. If you don't come, Joba Chamberlain will inadvertently throw over your head.
4. You might make the front page of The Wahoo Gazette.
3. Nebraskans know where to find their governor on game day.
2. You can see a whole new world of "Stupid Pet Tricks" from Husker season ticket-holder "Larry the Cable Guy."
1. This is your once in a lifetime chance to fire Der Veiner Schlinger.

Respond to Randy
Randy...it is the Wahoo "Newspaper", not "Gazette". Your inclusion of "Gazette" can be taken as ridicule. For a very brief time, back in the fall of 1964...I was the sports editor of the Wahoo Gazette...otherwise, I likely wouldn't have picked up on this. - Gary Lukert
(To clarify, The Wahoo Gazette is a section of the Late Show with David Letterman official web site. It has daily news on the front page of the Wahoo Gazette, relating to the Late Show. Our joke is simply, that Dave would need to come to Nebraska to make the front page of his own web site. Thanks for the information about the original Wahoo Gazette. To borrow a line from Nebraska's own Johnny Carson, "I did not know that!")
"And the No. 1 Reason to come to the Nebraska/Ball State football game...Runzas, Runzas, Runzas!" - Chris Dupsky, Omaha
"Gotta Love It!!! We have been discussing the same thing at our house, will Letterman be coming to Lincoln for the Ball State game? Thanks Randy for taking the time to write this article and the top 10 reasons were great. Favorite is No. 1!!!" - Matt and Angela Elliott
"I can think of three reasons why David Letterman and his family should fly to Lincoln this weekend: 1) He can get his mom, who happens to be named Dorothy, one state closer to Kansas; 2) His mom would be a big hit talking to Nebraska fans Saturday morning on KFAB; and 3) His 4-year-old son, Harry, can actually go outside and play." - Tom Miller, Kansas City, Mo.
"I was a Sigma Chi at Nebraska, and David Letterman is one of our most famous brothers of all time. Bet he was something at rush . . . Animal House with some class. As for a reason for him to come to Lincoln, the game-day traffic here has to be a lot more fun than it is in Muncie." - Gary, Colorado Springs, Colo.
"Since Letterman drops all kinds of objects off his Late Show building in New York to unsuspecting souls below, he should come to Lincoln just so he can borrow a Der Veiner Schlinger. That would give him a lot more range. Besides, who loves a hot dog more than a New Yorker?" - Doug Thomas, Buffalo, N.Y.
"I have a perfectly good reason why Letterman should come to Lincoln. If he's a football fan, he'll still be able to say he's never paid for view in his life. The rest of us working stiffs have to shell out $29.95 to watch the game." - Bill, Omaha

Boniface, servant of the servants of God, greetings in Christ to Grifo, son of Charles.
I beg and entreat Your Highness in the name of God the Father Almighty, of Jesus Christ, His Son, and of the Holy Ghost, by the Trinity and Unity of God, that in the event of your coming to power you will help the clerics, priests, monks, nuns and all the servants of God in Thuringia, and that you will protect the Christians from the hostility of the heathens so that they may not be destroyed by them. Thus you will reap an everlasting reward at the judgment seat of Christ. Be assured that you are constantly in our prayers to God: this, your father desired during his lifetime as did also your mother. We pray God, the Saviour of the world, to guide your steps through life, so that your soul may be saved and you may abide in the grace of God for evermore.
Meanwhile, my son, recall the words of the psalmist: "Man's life is like the grass, he blooms and dies like a flower in the fields." And the Apostle: "The whole world about us was in the power of evil." And Truth Himself says in the Gospel: "How is a man the better for gaining the whole world if he loses himself?. "And again in the Gospel, speaking of the glory of the just: "Then, at last, the just will shine out, clear as the sun, in their Father's kingdom." And Paul, the Apostle, said about the bliss of eternal life: "Things no eye has seen, nor ear heard, no human heart conceived, is the welcome God has prepared for those who love Him.
So conduct yourself my son, that your reward may shine ever more brightly in the high vault of heaven.
Our wish is that it may be well with you till the end of your days in Christ.

Is this "new" character supposed to be this character (screenshot from Image Blu-ray) that Raoul and Ledoux meet underground? Or was a new character concocted out of thin air?ClayKing wrote:What interested me was the reel 5 of the talkie version. This is the 12 minutes following the fall of the chandelier, so unfortunately there's very little talking (in fact, Philbin's brief exclamation is not accompanied by picture, which had deteriorated). What was fascinating was the voice, in the sound discs, that I presumed to be a stand-in for Chaney. The voice that commands Christine to "step through the mirror" actually belongs to a new character, apparently a servant to the Phantom. After he commands Christine, a body-double for the masked Phantom appears and raises a hand in command; the servant bows and withdraws. Presumably this servant was also the voice in the sound discs that proclaims "she is singing to bring down the chandelier."
The noteworthy thing of this reel for me is that the whole scene where Christine walks into her dressing room and into the mirror comprises of shots that I had never seen before. Actress Mary Philbin also looks older, and these shots are in great picture quality - all indicating the shots were filmed much later.

Postgame quotes after the Revolution fall to the New York Red Bulls 2-0 in the regular season finale.
On the team's turnaround from last season:
"The key was the first six games, when we won five out of six and kept going. It's phenomenal to get 30 points more than last season. I think, normally, you can't see any team in the world double their points in one season, it's impossible to do that. And to get 30 points more, 10 more wins, less conceded goals; also for the background staff, everyone working with the team, it's been excellent."
On the recent play of Dane Richards:
"With a player with that pace, normally those players are not the technically best ones. I've said the last six weeks, it's more the understanding in his attacking game. To time his run, when to run behind, when to come short. And of course the distribution from the midfield has been much, much better."
On the status of Thierry Henry:
"He's been away for nine days exactly. Fitness wise, its no problem. The knock on his knee is too painful at the moment. They'll try on the weekend to do some treatment and hopefully he can train on Monday. Fitness wise its no problem, but the touch on the ball, the sharpness, that will take time."
On the team heading into the playoffs:
"I think today we wanted an answer. From the Philly game, the Kansas City game, an answer to what kind of mindset we were going into the playoffs with. To bounce back from the Philly game, and I think the last 35 minutes of the first half, I was happy with that."
On the season of Joel Lindpere:
"He's been our most consistent player this season. I would say every game, his work ethic is phenomenal. We tried to play him centrally today to get a more lively central midfield, a little bit more dynamic, and that definitely worked."
On the difference between this year and last:
"There was just room for improvement. We couldn't do worse than last year. We just came in and worked hard, and we did it. It's not over yet, with the playoffs. Hopefully we have three more games left and we can go all the way with it."
On his and the team's confidence:
"The team is really confident right now. We just need to go out there and be consistent. Defend well, and keep a clean sheet if we can, and the opportunities will come, we just need to put them away. When you're winning, confidence will rise. Last year, I don't know who was confident on the team. We just have to keep winning, turn it into a habit."
On what he was thinking when the team took a trip around the field after the match:
"Last year we were thanking the fans, and we were going to go home. This year, we're thanking the fans to come and support us in the playoffs, so that's a great feeling."
On the match:
"I thought it was a battle throughout. It was a physical game, we knew they were going to come out and pressure, they had nothing to lose. It was a team effort. You have to credit everyone form top to bottom, we kind of knew it was going to be a physical game and it wasn't the prettiest game, but we got the result, we got the zero, and hopefully we can keep it going into the playoffs."
On the team's turnaround:
"The first goal coming into the season was to make the playoffs, and give ourselves an opportunity. So we're there, and we know now that we have a lot of work to do. There are a lot of good teams, everything's going to be tight. The playoffs are always a battle and so we know we have a lot of work to do, but we're ready. I think we have a good team, and we're ready to make a run for it."
On going into the playoffs:
"We need to finish it off well. We don't want to disappoint ourselves, because we've worked so hard. But we know we have a big challenge ahead. We have to correct the things that we need to correct, and because of the formula of the league, anything can happen. We have to be our best from the beginning, because we don't want to miss out on this great opportunity."
On tonight's match:
"The team played better today in general. I wouldn't say it was a spectacular game, but we needed to start off differently than we started against Philadelphia, and I think we did that. In the second half, it was more of trying to control the game. I don't think we played particularly well in the second half, but we were never threatened by New England. And then we got the second goal that basically killed off the game. But we needed to win today, we needed to secure first place, to hopefully get that home advantage in the second round if we make it. Overall, I think the performance was different from last week."
On the match:
"We got a couple of chances we never took. They got two chances and they took them. There's nothing between the two teams. But that's how the seasons going, you know."
On the Red Bulls getting the momentum early:
"It goes that way because we make a bad decision. That's why we lose. It's pretty straight forward. We haven't been good enough. That's the bottom line. That's why we lost tonight. The first goal, we didn't fill the holes in behind. We couldn't attack in their penalty box because we don't cover the holes properly. Again, it's something we've been talking about. And then we lost 2-0. There's not much between the two teams, really. You take the chances that you get. We need to get better. The guys on the field have to be better."
On the on-the-field effort:
"We put together some decent stuff, got in some good areas. It just came down to that final ball, that final finish and we just couldn't find it. That's the way it's been this whole year. Story of the season, I'm afraid."
On the push towards the end:
"There's going to be holes. When it comes down to the position we are in, it doesn't matter if you lose one nil or you lose 10-nil, it's zero points either way. And we were going for it at that point so we knew we were going to be exposed. And they have good players, and they scored a goal."
On what they are taking from this season:
"I think it just comes down to experience. I think we are a young team. We've got some guys who've got some growing up to do, including myself. The lack of experience hurt us. There were times where we gave up some real soft goals. It's tough when you're fighting from behind. When you look at games that we did well in, we started strong, got the first goal, and we showed at times that we could play some good stuff. I'm afraid the lack of experience let us down."
On the end of the season:
"The past couple of games, five or six games, that's all we've been doing, just making silly mistakes, and giving up goals we shouldn't. And tonight, it happened again. I thought the second goal was offsides, but I was wrong I guess. You guys probably had a better view. Tonight, we moved the ball well in the first half. We had a couple of chances that didn't go our way. They got one, and that really helped them with their confidence. I feel like we were just pushing for an equalizer and it didn't come for us tonight."
On playing the Red Bulls:
"They have a great stadium, a great pitch. There is a lot of space to play on. With a team like that where they have great players in the middle and one great player in Juan Pablo Angel that is able to play the ball up top and keep possession. That's what they do well. They spread the field. They move the ball well as a team. They defend us better. Tonight we weren't able to break them down and we weren't able to create enough chances to score."
On noticing a trend in the season:
"We played well in some starts. There are five, 10 minutes when we enter the game where we look like the better team and we look like a world class team. And then sometimes we just lose concentrate, lack of focus, and we give up goals like that. You can't do that against good teams like that who are in the top of the league and getting ready for the playoffs."

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) recorded higher fourth-quarter sales that were fueled by its acquisition of Synthes last year, just beating Wall Street's earnings projections.
Continue Reading Below
Earnings for the quarter, excluding litigation impacts, prior-year product liability-related charges and other items, came in at $1.19 a share on revenue of $17.56 billion, an 8% jump. That represents substantially higher earnings than a year-ago period, which included $2.9 billion in charges related to product recalls and litigation.
Analysts were looking for $1.17 in earnings per share and $17.67 billion in revenue.
J&J dealt with a number of recalls and manufacturing problems that have taken longer to resolve than executives had originally anticipated, and the loss of patent protection for some older drugs has weighed down on sales.
The health-care giant reported a profit of $2.57 billion, or 91 cents a share, up from $218 million and eight cents a share one year prior.
Domestic sales for the fourth quarter were up 6.8%, while international sales climbed 8.9%. J&J, which also completed the sale its DePuy trauma business, said its acquisition of Synthes contributed a net 5.6% to worldwide operational sales growth. Total operation sales growth was up 11.2%.
J&J also released per-share earnings estimates of $5.35 to $5.45 for 2013. Analysts projected earnings of $5.49 a share.
The miss on fourth-quarter revenue and lower EPS guidance drove down shares of J&J on Tuesday, with the stock off 69 cents, or 0.9%, to $72.54 in early trading.

Homebuilder customer relationship management (CRM) and sales software helps companies manage current and prospective customers, tracking and managing leads to turn prospects into sales. Designed to improve customer intelligence and relationships, sales management software often supports customers by walking them through the home buying process, which increases close rates and repeat business and reduces time to sale.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Homebuilder CRM & Sales Management Software?
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Benefits and Potential Issues
Market Trends to Understand
The Vendor Landscape
Homebuilder CRM software automates the homebuilder's entire sales process. Uniquely designed to support the home building industry, the software allows users to write contracts, manage warranties and track sales prospect information. Using this software, sales managers can monitor their relationships with all their leads and run effective marketing campaigns.
Key features to look for in a homebuilding CRM program include:
Before searching for homebuilding CRM software, it's best to narrow your search down by defining the type of buyer that you are. Most buyers fall into one of the following three categories:
Small general contractors. Most of the products in the homebuilder CRM software market are designed for general contractors. Of these, about half are designed for smaller businesses. Generally, this category describes general homebuilding companies with about $1 million per year or less in revenue.
Medium and large size general contractors. There are a few products designed for large businesses that perform hundreds of projects per year. But any company that produces several million dollars or more in annual revenue will probably want to look at some robust CRM solutions that facilitate communication and process automation across multiple employees and departments.
Service and specialty contractors. This category of buyer may include remodelers, field service engineers, contractors and subcontractors who work in a specific market sector (e.g., residential or commercial), or pavers or electrical engineers who work in a dedicated specialty within the homebuilding market. Finding the best CRM software for service, specialty and subcontractors requires looking into products that are highly specialized to individual niches. Examples include heavy construction CRM or electrical contracting CRM software.
There are a number of benefits to homebuilder CRM and sales management software:
Better marketing efforts. Many of these programs include templates and support for websites, newsletters or other marketing documents to improve the quality, and as a result, conversion rates. They also help target the marketing so that the right buyers are receiving the right messages, and help create campaigns to fulfill on the overall marketing strategy.
Increased efficiency. Homebuilding CRM programs typically include document control and contract templates that can be sent directly to the prospective buyer. This reduces the time spent on document generation and sharing. Add to this all the lead tracking and marketing capabilities, it's easy to see how a homebuilding CRM can make a homebuilder's sales that much more efficient.
Better close rates. The increase in efficiency, and the ability to walk customers through the process, leads to happier customers who are more likely to close and buy your property. This leads directly to improved profits, since sales reps won't have to re-sell the same property over and over again.
There are a number of trends currently affecting the homebuilding industry that apply directly to CRM software.
Business intelligence. CRM programs do more than simply record customer data. They can also use analytics and templates to improve the sales, marketing and lead generation process, as well as conversion and close rates.
Process automation. Most builders are looking to automate any repetitive and time-consuming processes, so they can use more computers and fewer people, making for a much more efficient operation. Reporting, contract management and marketing schedules are all examples of potential areas where process automation can save money.
Changing consumer demand. Almost all construction programs are moving from on-site solutions toward Web-based programs charging a monthly or annual fee rather than a full software purchase or installation cost. This helps amortize the expense over time and eliminates the need for internal staff to manage any technical support, upgrades or updates.
Although the following list does not include all of the top software vendors working in the capital program and portfolio management space, these top-rated programs will be a good fit for the indicated buyers.
|This type of buyer...
|Should evaluate these systems
|Medium & large general contractors
|Microsoft Dynamics CRM, BuilderTek, Computer Guidance, Pipeline Suite, Sage SalesLogix, Maxwell Systems American Contractor

How is he sexist?
Quote from: Prophet on September 27, 2011, 03:36:08 PMHow is he sexist? Well before tribal council he was like "Oh I'm gonna get beaten by girls" and all this stuff. All talk, no action. Sorry Cochran, I thought you would be alright but obviously not.
I can understand people finding him annoying, but I personally still love him and hope he and Dawn form some super-special-awesome alliance and make it to the end!

|This needs a stretch. (Feel free to remove when satisfied of completion.)
Needed: Synopsis is incomplete.
The Song of Mystery is the fifth episode of the first season of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.
Kids are being spookafied by the flute-playing Que Horrifico.
The children of Crystal Cove are being turned into monsters by a creature named Que Horrifico scaring all of the adults in town. As a result, they abandon their children who are being quarantined by the town and run for their lives. Fred and the gang try to solve the mystery, but get arrested.
Scooby and Shaggy are eating. Velma appears, saying that Shaggy should stop saying "like" and start wearing new pants. Meanwhile, Fred is getting tutored by an intelligent kid named Mary Anne Gleardan, who claims she should be in college. The tutor says she wants to join the city council, but is too "young."
Then the gang go to a vacant house on the street Que Horrifico mostly appears. Scooby and the gang disguise themselves as a family, thinking Que Horrifico would show up to turn Shaggy and Scooby, disguised as children, into one of her kid-minions. Que Horrifico then showed up to get Shaggy and Scooby, but gets caught in one of Fred's traps. Unfortunately, Que Horrifico calls its kid-minions to help the monster out of the trap, and the minions start chasing the gang around the vacant house. When Fred, Daphne, and Velma are cornered by the kid-minions next to the TV, Velma accidentally presses the remote, causing the TV to open. The kid-minions then start to sit down, and take off their masks. The kid-minions turn out to be the kids, with masks, fake hair, and fake fangs. Que Horrifico, hanging out of the window, says "What are you doing? You're ruining everything!", and then jumps out, after Fred and the gang start to chase it. Que Horrifico then gets trapped in one of Fred's nets and Sheriff Stone and the Mayor find the gang and a trapped Que Horrifico. Que Horrifico then turns out to be Mary Anne Gleardan, and she says her plan was to get rid of all the parents in Crystal Cove, so there would be no one in her way for ruling the town. Sheriff Stone arrests Mary Ann (even though she's a kid), while ranting to her about the Que Horrifico merchandises that Crystal Cove made because of her plot.
Later that night at the radio station, as Angel Dynamite rewards the gang with pizza, Shaggy tells Velma that he prefers his own baggy pants to the ones that Velma bought him.

- Although failing in the previous episode to get Shaggy to eat healthy, Velma moves onto trying to stop him incorrectly using the word "like" in almost every sentence and getting him to wear a new type of pants (both of which are recurring gags). By the end of the episode he tells her to stop because he likes the way he is and she accepts.
- Velma says that Shaggy has worn his trademark red pants since the eighth grade.
- Disguises: Gang as a family (Fred and Daph as parents, Velma as grandma, Shaggy and Scoob as young child and baby, respectively).
- Running gags: Shaggy snapping himself a rubber band whenever he says "Like" inappropriately; and having trouble walking in his new pants.
Cultural references
- The scene where Shaggy is pulled back into the darkness by spookified children in a reference to the Spanish horror film [REC] and/or its American remake Quarantine.
- The scene where Shaggy and Scooby tie themselves into the panel closet with an ascot is a reference to Halloween, in which Laurie Strode tied a scarf around a similar closet door in order to hide from Michael Myers. When the spookified children bust through the panels, it is reminiscent of when Michael thrust his hand through the panels to try and get Laurie.
- Capstone published Scooby-Doo! A Science of Sound Mystery: A Song for Zombies in 2016. The differences include:
- Mary Anne is called Sarah.
- Dr. de Potrillo is called Mr. Green.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches
- Part of Shaggy's sleeve is colored as his skin when Dr. Portillo leaves his office.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- When the gang drove through Crystal Cove during the fire, Shaggy said "Like" again, as in response to Velma, "Yeah! Like the whole town is spookified", no rubber band is heard snapping.
- Possibly Velma was too horrified by what she saw to enforce the rule. Or possibly because, though Shaggy's sentence was grammatically incorrect, the "like" part wasn't the problem. "Like" was actually used correctly. Had Shaggy said "It's like the whole town is spookified," the sentence would have been grammatically correct.
- Shaggy also says "like" right before the gang dresses up as a family ("Like, who would be dumb enough to do that?"), yet no rubber band snapping was used.
- Fred, Daphne and Velma changed from their disguises to their normal outfits awfully fast.

Details of Jazz / Blues and the Ticket Luck value
Want to drown in the sea of melody? Want to unwind yourself after a long day's work? Want to treat your ears with a sweet charming sound and cheerful tunes. If yes, then get your tickets to the best Jazz shows playing around you and get ready to experience the harmony and glory of All That Jazz.
Jazz music, a name every music lover is familiar with, is one of the widely recognized genres of the world of music. This unique and artistic medium of music balances the traditional elements with new ideas and tunes, thus creating a sound that is liked by listeners of different moods and tastes. The approach to jazz music is largely based on improvisation. However, with continuous experiments in different times, the new sound has incorporated many other musical elements as well.
Also referred to as Jazz and Blues, Jazz music is a proud invention of American musicians. The genre is born and bred in America in the 20th century. The sound was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Being a port city, it served as the melting pot of different cultures. The musicians here were exposed to a variety of music that they used to learn from different traders coming here for business purposes.
The Jazz that we hear today is mainly a combination of European classical music of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, folk music from West Africa, characteristic of the blues, rhythms of Ragtime and songs from Southern America. This form of music spread from New Orleans to many North American areas like Saint Louis, Chicago and Kansas City; thus the cultural diversity kept adding more depth into its sound.
For a musician and thoughtful music listener, Jazz is about expressing one's feelings and thoughts through improvisation. For a casual music follower, Jazz is all about wonderful melody and harmonious experience. And for a historian, Jazz is among the greatest cultural achievements of America. Whatever it is, the sound of Jazz is completely spell-bounding.
America is credited for taking the sound of Jazz to the whole world and making it popular across the region, race and boundary. Talking about Jazz and not mentioning Louis Armstrong would be little unfair. Hailed as the father of modern jazz improvisation, this trumpet player from New Orleans led several Jazz groups in the 1920's and 30's and showcased a personal style of improvisation.
Today, Jazz music is considered a timeless phenomenon that is constantly rising in popularity despite the heavy commercial support to Pop, Rock and Rap. While music schools and specialized training centers hire veteran jazz artists to transfer this art to future generations, concertgoers enjoy a wide variety of Jazz related events and festivals throughout the year.
Today, independent singers, Jazz specific labels and bands, Jazz symphony groups, musicians and instrumentalist fall under the spectrum from the Jazz umbrella. The performances are held both as individual events and in large festivals dedicated to only Jazz music. These artists do not get as much airtime as contemporary music acts, but they still enjoy a massive fan base all over the world.
Over the years, the world has witnessed some of the best jazz performers in and outside United States. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus played a great role in the development of this sound.
The world of Jazz is also full of great talent of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Nat Cole, Sarah Vaughn, Tony Bennett, Dinah Washington, Harry Connick Jr., Shirley Horn, MalePerry Cuomo and other popular artists. They have ruled the hearts of millions on the basis of their creativity and impeccable talent.

Happy New Year, everyone!! I know its been almost a month since the new year, but better late than never I guess! I have been meaning to share this recipe with you since after Christmas but finally today, I got to make this post on Tasty treats! Yes, things are really hectic over here, I just dont know how to manage my time. Its totally weird that even now, I cant really say that I have adjusted to having to work, spend a chunk of my spare time in commute and still having to be a mom and a wife, all the while wishing to keep my blog going!! I had to skip the Daring Baker's challenge for December becuase I just couldn't figure out a time to do it! All the working food bloggers out there, please give me pointers!! :-)
Anyways, we had a quiet but nice Christmas meal with just the three of us. I had tried roasting Cornish Hens for the first time, along with a few other new recipes, which I am hoping to share with you soon. We had these amazing cheese balls as appetizers. These are very quick to put together, but they would definitely impress your guests in their looks, not to mention its wonderful taste. The texture of the soft, melting cheesy balls add onto the great appeal of these easy appetizers. Make sure to serve them warm, so as to keep the cheese melted.
I found this recipe in the Food Network Magazine at work, in a small ad for Viva Paper towels. The recipe has been shared by Jeannine Williams. I really didnt make any changes to the recipe except for that I didnt have garlic powder (I thought I had it, but it turned out on the day of cooking that I didnt!! - should have checked first!). So ours were probably lacking the flavor, which we absolutely didnt notice, because they were delicious!! The tomato ketchup dip is definitely the perfect accompaniment for these golden-brown fried cuties!
- We got about 20 big cheese balls (not golf ball sized for sure!!)
- Serve warm so that the cheese is still melted.
- Coat the balls well, with bread crumbs. If the cheese portion is exposed, it might melt and stick to the bottom of the pan.
- I used plain toasted bread crumbs and not seasoned crumbs.

Parents, school officials and the superintendent of Davidson County Schools met Thursday at Friendship Elementary School to discuss the ramifications from a student bringing a starter pistol to school.
Parents, school officials and the superintendent of Davidson County Schools met Thursday at Friendship Elementary School to discuss the ramifications from a student bringing a starter pistol to school.
Principal Beth Goins said school administrators received a report May 28 that a student brought a weapon on school property and showed it to other students.
"We conducted a search and discovered a starter pistol in the student's backpack. We contacted our school resource officer who confiscated the pistol and contacted the sheriff's department and the district attorney," Goins said.
The issue concerning many of the parents was that they were not notified and that the incident was not treated more seriously.
Keith Hedgecock, a parent of a student, said the child in question brought a starter pistol to school and threatened other students if they told. But many of the children informed their parents what had happened, which prompted them to call the school.
Superintendent Dr. Fred Mock said what is at issue is the classification of the starter pistol as a lesser weapon and not a firearm.
"The reason we did not treat it as a firearm was because it did not meet the state's definition," Mock said.
The starter pistol was examined by several different people, including Goins, Mock, the school SRO officer and others with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office, all of whom concluded it did not fall under the category of a firearm. A firearm is defined as a weapon capable of firing a projectile and using an explosive charge as a propellant.
Maj. Brian Grubb of the sheriff's office said the barrel of the pistol was plugged, a pin was pressed into the barrel to prevent it from being removed, and that not even the smallest caliber of ammunition would fit into it.
But parents believe that even if it wasn't considered a firearm they still should have been informed. Goins said that she decided not to send out a letter because the school policy only addresses notification for the most serious offenses.
"We decided not to send out a schoolwide letter because it was treated as a lesser incident, and it is not current practice to notify parents on those occasions," Goins said.
Hedgecock says he and other parents want school policy to be changed so that parents will be informed anytime a weapon is brought to school.
"We understand that you can't send a letter every time a Boy Scout forgets his pocketknife," he said. "But if anything happens that threatens the kids' security, it should not be left to the school's discretion on whether to inform parents or not. It should be mandatory."
Mock agrees that the principal and the school system would handle the situation much differently if they had to do it over.
"We recognize the fear parents have for their children, and we may have made a mistake not grasping the severity," he said. "We are all on the same side when it comes to safety of our schools."
Mock said that because of the issues discussed at the meeting, he is making immediate changes to how the school system addresses items that resemble firearms.
"We have not given principals a directive before on how to treat starter pistols or facsimiles of a firearm, but I am addressing it now," he said. He also plans to ask the school board to clarify the language of the weapons policy to include anything that could be mistaken for a gun.
Another parent, Stephanie Strom, said the whole thing could have been prevented if the school had just given parents some information.
"If they would have just put it out in the beginning, it probably would have just blown over," she said. "Instead we heard through rumor. When you don't hear anything, you just think they don't care."
Goins says because of privacy laws, the school is not allowed to disclose what disciplinary measures were involved, but action was taken. Mock said that punishment for incidents involving violation of school policy can vary depending on the severity of the violation, the age of the child and whether the child mentally grasps what he or she has done wrong.
The meeting Thursday allowed parents to air their grievances and to hear from school officials what will happen in the future.
"I want to thank all the parents who came to the meeting, " Goins said. "We always appreciate any input to make our school system better."
Both Hedgecock and Strom think that the meeting went well and their concerns were taken seriously, but they insist further steps are needed about when to contact parents and to address the issue of bullying in general. They have plans to meet with Mock at his office next week.
"It's a great starting point, but it's not over until corrections are made in the school policy," Hedgecock said. "This incident doesn't define Friendship Elementary. It doesn't do any good to point fingers. We need to discuss this as adults and solve the problem."
Mock says although it is a difficult situation, he is pleased to have parents who are involved in their children's education.
"I admire these parents who are concerned about school safety," he said. "I understand those feelings, and I appreciate them speaking up for the welfare of the students."

Best Anime on CR for children
RX-0Unicorn wrote:
OMG! NO ONE'S mentioned Beast Player Erin!?!!?!1/11/!?!/11/1/1? That should be MANDATORY for ALL kids to watch because it's just THAT good!
Check the first recommendation in the message just above your own.
Yes, that's my real age
Eyeshield 21 is great and very motivational so I suppose that would be a key aspect of success (?). Squid Girl is great since it is a Girl who is A Squid originally trying to cause havoc (although I think its funny enough to be enjoyed by Children and Adults) but soon makes friends in the Human World which I suppose will teach them A lesson about acceptance (?). My output, also try some of the more mainstream anime's which you will see on Children's TV.
Follow me @Incidic
I would say Non Non Biyori and Kobato.
Finding and watching a great anime is a great feeling isn't it?
Black Jack should be fine. Viki.com has the full show for after Episode 28.
Just as a warning if you go on Viki, Black Jack (Original Video Animation Series) is little different and wouldn't be as kid friendly.
I don't think Mushi-Shi had anything, but it might be harder to understand or too slow.
Rurouni Kenshin was on Toonami/Cartoon Network long ago so it might work.
I'm not sure if it was censored or anything like that.
Galaxy Express 999 seems like it'll be OK for kids so far.
Captain Harlock looks like it but I haven't seen enough of it for sure. It has pirates in space.
As far as I know if they're/you're fine with One Piece then these should be good.
Yen Press finally got the rights to the Durarara Light Novels~!
Nichijou, it's just complete randomness and comedy. 1st and 2nd openings are REALLY catchy. I do warn that there is some inappropriate things, but they are very minimal and probably won't really effect them unless they already know what it is.
Hmm.. I saw it several years ago, but I think Gad Guard could be an option. I recall it being pretty clean.
But it looks like it isn't on CR anymore.
2 episodes in and i think One week friends would be ok. It's a bit slow and quiet, so it might be best as a late evening sleepy time anime.
It's been said already, but for more emphasis this time. No show on CR is better for kids than the Beast player Erin at least in the fantasy genre.
The best come back in the history of ever!
Chi's Sweet Home is really good (and cute), then there's Shugo Chara, Lilpri, Squid Girl, and probably a whole lot more I'm missing:)
Ok... I'm just going to watch some more anime now.....
Thank you all for this list. It would be helpful if CrunchRoll admins add a "Child Friendly" category under:
Shows > Genres
Shugo Chara
Pretty Cure
Squid Girl
Miss Monochrome
Cardcaptor Sakura
Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time
Sailor Moon/ Sailor Moon Crystal
Chi's Sweet Home
Kaasan Mom's Life
That's what I can remember off the top of my head
I've done some independent work collecting tags, and have
fatmo74 wrote:Thank you all for this list. It would be helpful if CrunchRoll admins add a "Child Friendly" category under:
Shows > Genres
as one of the lists. You could also try the
tag, but that one isn't meant to be filtered for just children. In general, there is also the
page, with all expanded tags collected in one place.
Extended tags,ratings,show discovery: http://crunchyroll.com/group/rotten_sushi
Um since I'm pretty sure most of the kid friendly series that are on CR have been mentioned and if you finish all of them or your kids don't enjoy some of them you could check Hulu. Now I do really hate mentioning another site, but it's just so you have even more series your kids can choose from. Hulu does have a nice selection of anime and they seem to have quite a few kid friendly ones like Digimon and Yugioh. That's really the only reason I'm mentioning it. I like to use Hulu as a back up incase CR doesn't have a certain anime.
Also a random anime that I think would be okay for kids(according to it's rating it's TVPG) would be Bamboo Blade. It's a fun little sports anime about Kendo. I believe at the most it has a little language, but if they watch One Piece, Bamboo Blade should be fine. Bamboo Blade is on Funimation's Youtube and most likely their site too, and you can probably buy the series relatively cheap since it's a S.A.V.E edition(if you decide to do that). Rightstuf is a great website to buy anime. If you wanted to buy a series, Rightstuf would be your best bet.
I hope I was at least a little help since most if not all of CR's child friendly series have been mentioned.
I'm Not Really Here Anymore. Nothing Personal. Will Try To Be Semi-Active
Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
Not too complicated, not too simple. It's a pretty good shonen for kids and the safest in my opinion.
Go watch High Score Girl dubbed if you haven't
express yourself no matter how horrid you are

Yay, Friday is finally here! Wishing you all a lovely weekend:)
Submitted one of my assignments, done my phase test and now here comes the presentation! I just hate presentations, I am so nervous when I have to talk in front of the whole class that I end up shaking. Just the idea of giving a presentation stress me out, but it counts 25% of this module so I have to do my best! Wish me luck:)
As I promised on my last outfit (Valentine's Day Outfit Idea I!) this is my second Valentine's day outfit idea. This one is super comfy, girly and both casual and chic at the same time. I wanted to try something different in terms of colour and instead of red, the main colours in this outfit are purple and pink! As this is more of a day date outfit I decided that ballerinas were the best choice. Added my velvet skirt (also - here) and my fluffy sweater (also - here) to make the outfit more romantic. Now the scarf is completely optional, but I just wanted to add something different rather than a statement necklace again, but a statement necklace would look amazing as well!
I am wearing:
Sweater - Primark
Skirt - Primark
Ballerinas - Primark
Bag - Primark
Scarf - Primark
Watch - D&G
Rings - Warren James & Primark
(I love shopping at Primark I guess:) )

WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta is ending the ban on women serving in combat in the U.S. military, potentially opening up more than 200,000 positions on the front lines and possibly also jobs with elite commando units.
Pentagon officials said Wednesday that Panetta gave the armed services until 2016 to ask for special waivers if they believe any positions should remain closed to women.
The decision specifically overturns a 1994 rule that barred women from serving with smaller ground combat units.
Panetta's decision was seen as a recognition of women's contributions to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Because of the demand for troops, women often found themselves on the front lines serving as drivers, medics, mechanics and in other roles when commanders attached their units to combat battalions. They didn't receive combat decorations or other special recognition, however.
Complete coverage of the 2013 inauguration
The move will also help women climb the military ranks. Female service members have struggled to gain promotions in part because of their lack of combat experience; the Pentagon's first four-star female general, Ann Dunwoody, wasn't promoted until 2008.

In No god but God, internationally acclaimed scholar Reza Aslan explains Islam—the origins and evolution of the faith—in all its beauty and complexity. This updated edition addresses the events of the past decade, analyzing how they have influenced Islam's position in modern culture. Aslan explores what the popular demonstrations pushing for democracy in the Middle East mean for the future of Islam in the region, how the Internet and social media have affected Islam's evolution, and how the war on terror has altered the geopolitical balance of power in the Middle East. He also provides an update on the contemporary Muslim women's movement, a discussion of the controversy over veiling in Europe, an in-depth history of Jihadism, and a look at how Muslims living in North America and Europe are changing the face of Islam. Timely and persuasive, No god but God is an elegantly written account that explains this magnificent yet misunderstood faith.
Praise for No god but God
"Grippingly narrated and thoughtfully examined . . . a literate, accessible introduction to Islam."—The New York Times
"[Reza] Aslan offers an invaluable introduction to the forces that have shaped Islam [in this] eloquent, erudite paean to Islam in all of its complicated glory."—Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Wise and passionate . . . an incisive, scholarly primer in Muslim history and an engaging personal exploration."—The New York Times Book Review
"Acutely perceptive . . . For many troubled Muslims, this book will feel like a revelation, an opening up of knowledge too long buried."—The Independent (U.K.)
"Thoroughly engaging and excellently written . . . While [Aslan] might claim to be a mere scholar of the Islamic Reformation, he is also one of its most articulate advocates."—The Oregonian
(1) Field Testing the Communication of Divine Message: The unique feature of this translation is its field testing for over 3 1/2 years to improve the communication and understanding of the Divine Message. Translation passages were given to the New Muslim and Non-Muslim high school and college students for reading under the supervision of various Ulema (scholars). After reading, the person was asked to explain as to what he/she understood from the passage. If his/her understanding was the same as is in the Arabic Text of the Holy Qur'an then we concluded that we have been successful in conveying the Divine Message properly. If his/her understanding was different than what the Qur'anic verses were stating, we kept on rewording the translation until those verses were understood properly. It was tremendous patience on part of the participants. May Allah reward them all.
(2) Simplicity: In this translation Simple Language and Direct Approach is used for appealing to the common sense of scholars and common people.
(3) Understandability: There are no foot notes to refer and no commentary or lengthy explanations to read. All necessary explanations have been incorporated right there in the text with italic type setting to differentiate from the translation of the meanings of Qur'anic Arabic Text.
(4) Outline of Pertinent Information: Before the start of each Srah, information relating to its Period of Revelation, Major Issues, Divine Laws and Guidance has been presented as an outline. Then a summary of the preceding events has been tabulated for the reader to understand the histo! rical background to grasp the full meaning of the Divine Message.
(5) Reviews, Input and Approvals: This project was started in 1991 and initial draft completed in 1994. Then the Translation was sent to different Ulema (Scholars) in Town and throughout United States for their review and input. After their reviews and input it was sent to Jme Al-Azhar Al-Sharif in Egypt, Ummal Qur in Saudi Arabia and International Islamic University in Pakistan for their review, input and approval. This translation was published after their reviews and approvals.
At seven years old, Nabila Sharma began her lessons at the mosque as every good Muslim girl does. But from the minute she looked up at her Imam, the man who held her spiritual future in his hands, she knew something was wrong.
Over the next five years Nabila's life became unbearable. While she was behind the doors of the mosque, the most sacred of places, the Imam brutally molested her on the slightest whim. Each day he would make her perform unspeakable acts, physically and mentally torturing her into compliance, to fulfil his perverse desires.
Nothing would stop him; no plea would make him relent. But he was a respected member of the community, trusted by everyone; if Nabila cried for help she would risk the honour of her family, an unthinkable act. There was nowhere she could turn, no one she could talk to. As a young Muslim girl, Nabila was powerless.
Brutal is the shocking, revelatory and heart-rending account of one girl's plight in a society where honour and shame are a matter of life and death. It is a tale of innocence lost and a life shattered, but above all it is a tale of survival, of a young girl who found love and hope in the darkest of places.
a) Sources of Islam, its essentials and doctrines -- The Holy Quran, Hadith, Ijtihad and Ijma
b) Principles of Islam, Iman (Faith), Attributes of God, Angels, Revelation, Revealed Books, Prophets, Finality of Prophethood of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, Life after Death, Taqdir, etc.
c) Institutions and Practices of Islam: Prayer, Zakat (Charity), Fasting, Hajj (Pilgrimage) Jihad, Apostasy, Social Relations (Marriage, Property, Inheritance, etc.) Food, Penal Laws, the State, etc.
Detailed index including an index of Arabic words and phrases.
Even as Muhammad lay dying, the battle over who would take control of the new Islamic nation had begun, beginning a succession crisis marked by power grabs, assassination, political intrigue, and passionate faith. Soon Islam was embroiled in civil war, pitting its founder's controversial wife Aisha against his son-in-law Ali, and shattering Muhammad's ideal of unity.
Combining meticulous research with compelling storytelling, After the Prophet explores the volatile intersection of religion and politics, psychology and culture, and history and current events. It is an indispensable guide to the depth and power of the Shia–Sunni split.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
The decisions that change your life are often the most impulsive ones.
Unexpectedly denied a visa to remain in the United States, Qanta Ahmed, a young British Muslim doctor, becomes an outcast in motion. On a whim, she accepts an exciting position in Saudi Arabia. This is not just a new job; this is a chance at adventure in an exotic land she thinks she understands, a place she hopes she will belong.
What she discovers is vastly different. The Kingdom is a world apart, a land of unparralled contrast. She finds rejection and scorn in the places she believed would most embrace her, but also humor, honesty, loyalty and love.
And for Qanta, more than anything, it is a land of opportunity. A place where she discovers what it takes for one woman to recreate herself in the land of invisible women.
