i'm thankful for...
the first thanksgiving story started in 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts which was a joint celebration between the pilgrims and the native americans. traditionally, it is celebrated to give thanks for bountiful harvest.

in the united states, thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth thursday of november since 1941. thanksgiving is also fondly known as turkey day...well because turkey is the main highlight of the day (those poor turkeys). i find it interesting though that apparently turkey was not even on the first thanksgiving dinner table (found out from the next iron chef finale). there are few stories on how the turkey became the thanksgiving bird, so if you are interested, google search is your friend (too long a story to type out). in fact, you might find some other interesting stories about this fowl along the way.

this year, ryan headed back to louisiana to celebrate it with his family but i decided to spend my thanksgiving here in chicago on my own. i guess it didn't bother me much cos we don't celebrate thanksgiving in malaysia. but i was craving for turkey since two weeks before thanksgiving (i blame food network.. lol) so i was super excited when christina invited me to her place for turkey day dinner party! :)
|chefs are hard at work. thanks for the dinner!
christina and her bf, lyle prepared the whole thanksgiving meal which included traditional dishes such as dressing/stuffing (whatever you wanna call it), salad, roasted vegetables, green beans, cranberry sauce, homemade pumpkin pie and of course the turkey with gravy. i think this was my first traditional thanksgiving dinner since in the past three years i've been celebrating thanksgiving, southern style.
enough talk, i'm gonna let the pictures tell the story :)
deviled eggs | a lil different from how ryan's mom usually makes them. christina's version is more of the classics with the mayo, mustard and paprika mixed in the egg yolk.
salad | lyle came up with the idea for this salad and it was yummylicious. the combination of the peppery flavor of the arugula combined with the sweetness of the roasted beets, freshness of the honey crisp apples. creaminess of the goat cheese and the crunch of the candied pecans and all these topped with a balsamic honey vinaigrette. love love love! :) it was quite funny cos i actually found a recipe in the latest food network magazine with similar ingredients.
stuffing / dressing | so there's always a debate on what this should be called - stuffing or dresing? basically, stuffing is when you put it in the turkey and cook it and if you bake it outside the turkey like this one it should be called dressing. this is my first time having stuffing/dressing. it's lyle's mom's recipe and i can tell there was some meat, mushrooms and other stuff on top of the bread. you can call it whatever you wanna call it, all that matter is that it's good :)
green beans | green beans blanched in salted water, tossed in butter, garlic, salt and pepper and finished off with some fried onions. very fresh, light and tasty - cooked just right.
turkey | star of the day! turkeyyyyyyyy!! with a side of roasted vegetables - combination of onions, parsnips, carrots and potatoes. lyle and christina spent a few days prepping this turkey for this glorious finished product. the turkey was injected with rosemary infused olive oil and the skin was crisped up wonderfully.
no one has actually carved a turkey before so it was quite fun to find out how to do it right.. i vaguely remember from a food network show where they said to remove the legs and the wings first and then move on to the turkey breast where you start from the breast bone and cut out the whole breast piece before slicing them. we looked it up online to be sure and somehow managed to get it done about right. i think it was a successful first attempt at turkey carving :)
i was the lucky girl who got the turkey leg! (patricia got the other..hehe) i am a dark meat kinda gal. :) my huge plate of yumminess - a lil bit (if that) of everything.
enjoying the night view of chicago from christina's apartment while we gobbled up our dinner.
although i was almost stuffed to the brim, i gotta save some room for dessert.
pumpkin pie | christina is quite the baker. usually, i don't like pumpkin anything but surprisingly i enjoyed this immensely. lyle and christina said this was probably the most effort intensive out of all dishes that they made for this dinner party. we had to guess what the secret ingredient was in the pumpkin pie just from tasting it and ronit managed to guess that it was candied yam (sweet potatoes). this pumpkin pie had 50/50 ratio of sweet potatoes and pumpkin..maybe that's why this was really good..
at the end of the meal, i was stuffed, happy and was experiencing a lil bit of food coma. haha.
thanks christina and lyle for such a wonderful thanksgiving dinner party! and i'm also thankful for such a great company of friends making my thanksgiving in chicago such an awesome one. :)
p.s. some photos are taken from patricia since her photos are so much better than mine! :) thanks patricia.
p.p.s. watch out of next blog update about pasta making class!

Christian and Lutheran Life... And What I Think About It...
As God in His wisdom has planned, we don't have many musicians in our church. We have a very good organist who serves faithfully. When he can't be there, Pastor usually can get a substitute organist, a lady from Clarksville who plays beautifully. But if this lady can't come, Pastor calls me and asks if I will play the piano.
I am not a good pianist by any stretch of the imagination. I had piano lessons when I was growing up, but my talent was mediocre at best. I have no inborn gift for reading music; it has always been hard labor for me. If it's unfamiliar music, I struggle pitifully with it! I have even photocopied music and used white-out to remove some notes that were just confusing me.
I can play many familiar hymns without much difficulty, but many other hymns are challenging for me. When I have to play for a service, it seems like the hymn list always includes some selections from the second category. I practice the troublemakers with diligence, and sometimes I do OK on them, and sometimes I hit wrong notes and distress myself with my imperfect abilities. Sometimes I'm nervous, and I have to force myself to relax, focus on the notes and get through the songs.
Over time, I have reached a couple of conclusions about playing for church. I have learned that several ladies in our church play the piano a little. I would be very willing to let any of them play in my stead. But if no one else volunteers, I guess they are content with (or at least resigned to) my efforts.
More importantly, I realized a while back that nervousness is really a self-centered emotion. The piano is part of the music and the music is a part of all the worship that is offered to God through the service. Obsessing about my fears and imperfections is just wrong; I need to play the best I can in humbleness before the Lord and He will bless the music. I try to keep that in mind.
Tonight I have to play for the Lenten service. Pastor called me yesterday afternoon and since then, I 've been practicing. The hymns are "Jesus, Thy Boundless Love To Me" with the Vater Unser melody, "O Dearest Jesus", "There is a Green Hill Far Away", and "Go My Children With My Blessing". In our hymnal, the first two hymns are one difficult minor chord after another, but I found easier arrangements in another hymnal. If I concentrate on reading the notes, I should do all right on them. The other two are easy enough. A short prelude, the four hymns, the offertory, and a short postlude, and I'll be done. Yes, I am a little nervous, but I'll be OK.

Winschoten is located in the east of the province, approximately 10 kilometers from the German border. In 1947, 69% of its population were Protestants, 5% were Catholics, and the rest were members of other religious denominations or atheists. It is a regional center of commerce, and it has manufacturing.
The Era of the Republic
Jews came to Winschoten shortly after the middle of the 18th century. Most were from the East Friesland region of Germany. The first name that is known to us is the ENGERS family, to which children were born in Winschoten in the years 1772, 1776, and 1778. From the book of requests (Requestenboek) of the city of Groningen, it is evident that the Jews of Winschoten requested the certification of their synagogue protocols in 1778. From this we can surmise that there was already an organized community in that year. Services took place in Buiten Venne until 1797. That year, a synagogue was built on Langestraat with 70 seats. (According to another source, it was in Buiten Wittervrouwenstraat).
The 19th and 20th Centuries
The community grew rapidly during the 19th century. In 1849, the Jews were 10% of the population. The synagogue was no longer sufficient for the needs, and in 1845, after many years of demands for its expansion, a new synagogue was built and dedicated on Boschstraat. A few years later, in 1858, the community was split due to internal friction. The seceding community, lead by Gumpel Bloch, returned to the bosom of the community in 1860.
The first cemetery of the community, which was located in the city, served the city until 1928. It is not known when its land was obtained. 54 people were buried there between 1786 and 1828. At that time, they began to bury the dead in a new burial plot outside the city in Achteruit. There was a school in the city, with 73 students in 1859, and 89 in 1863. A new communal building was built on Boschstraat in 1900, which included a school, an assembly hall and residents for public servants. 52 students studied Jewish studies there in 1911. 12 students from adjacent towns received lessons from the teacher of Winschoten, who made the rounds to those places. There were seven members of the communal council. Aside from them, there was a committee for the poor and collections for the Land of Israel. There was a Gmilut Chasadim organization for men, and Ateret Nashim Vegmilut Chasadim organization for women. There was also a chapter of the Organization of the Benefit of the Jews of Holland.
There were many poor people in Winschoten during the 18th century. There were 280 needy people in 1902 37% of the members of the community! The situation improved as the 20th century progressed. The primary occupations were the cattle trade and butchering. At the end of the 1930s, 14 of the 26 local butchers were Jewish. The cattle trade was completely in Jewish hands. The Jews also had a significant portion of the tobacco trade, as manufacturers and workers.
Refugees from Germany arrived in Winschoten during the 1930s, primarily via the border crossing near Nieuweschans.
The Holocaust Era
In the economic realm, the Jews were pushed out of the cattle market during 1941. Since the Jews were pushed out of the public education system, a Jewish regional school and kindergarten were set up in Winschoten at the end of 1941. These were still operating in February 1943. At first, 25 children studied in the school.
In August, 1942, the Jews under the age of 60 were arrested, aside from a few officials, teachers, and members of the communal council. They were sent to the Westerbork Camp. During a large scale hunt that took place on the night before Simchat Torah of 5603 (1942), their wives and children were also arrested and sent after them to Westerbork. The last of the Jews were arrested and expelled during the early months of 1943. In total, approximately 500 Jews were expelled. Five returned from Westerbork. Nine were hidden and saved in Holland, and four succeeded in escaping to Switzerland. In total, almost 20 people were saved. On October 13, 1942, five hidden people were exposed
[Page 288]
by the Dutch Nazis, the members of the WA of Winschoten. They had been hiding with farmers in Nieuwe Pekela.
The synagogue was pillaged, but they succeeded in transferring the Torah scrolls to Amsterdam, where they were saved.
The synagogue was sold after the Holocaust, and today it serves as a Protestant Church. The community itself united with Groningen in 1964. Today, a few Jews live there.

some german fans want gabriel heinze beeing banned for the 1/4 because he hit the camera after it bumped his head! they want revenge because frings was banned against italy in 2006, after he was involved in fighting against Argentina.
now i want heinze score the winning goal, lika against nigeria. or tevez in the 90 minute, and he is 5 meters offside hahaha.
maradona must say how violent the mexicans played and once again reminf fifa to protect messi from fouls. the mexicans got away with everything.
i know we shouldn't complain about the ref this time, but we have to think forward. against germany we need a fair referee.

Brazil have missed Elano and Melo and still their midfield looked solid as a rock and they played with Chile. that's the effect of actually having a coach who knows tactics.
a coach that knows that throwing 3 forwards and play the game of havoc won't succeed when playing with big boys.

I am sick of hearing bad words about Diego's coaching.
I definitely wouldn't want a coach like Dunga, who packs tall hefty thugs in his team and relies on the pace of 2-3 skillful players to get him goals from a set piece or a counter attack.
Thats not the football I want to see from a talented Argentinian team nor a talented brazilian team.
of course I will love and die to win but not at the expense of playing good football. Brazilian football is no longer fun to watch, Brazil is just a better version of a defensive portugal.
and it especially sucks because they have the potential to do much much more.
So if by saying Dunga is tactically brilliant or Lippi, Domenech is tactically awesome or even for that sake Mourinho is tactically the best doesnt matter to me because I won't, can't support or appreciate football played in that manner constantly on a regular basis. A team can play such football once or twice when its absoilutely required but if that becomes the principle of playing football we are in for "boring boring" football for a long long time.
Go and support the Italians for that matter, they won the WC 4 yrs back on those principles, and the french reached the finals on those principles.
I can't and won't be a glory hunter for that matter.
- 1:43 pm
Sorry guys..i'm a diehard argentina fan..but i must admit that i've seen the world champion today....no way this brazil is going to loose any game from now on..they have best defence in the world..in offence the are lethal...every personnel from top to bottom is efficent enough not necessarily the most talented in the world..
- 1:50 pm
I also support Maradona as coach. And in general, I think people are having too short a fuse with coaches at the club level.
Turning to my "fashion police role": The only reason that I can think of for wearing blue shorts/socks vs Mexico was that the alternate blue kit got mixed up with the "albiceleste". I hope they don't keep them as good luck charms, we looked like Honduras. Also, my local newspaper had a large frontal picture of Tevez, where I noticed that under the AFA logo it had embroidered the game date "Junio 28 2010" Do they do that for every game, or just for these final rounds?
- 1:55 pm
Hi guys!
I've got so many things to say……..
The game yesterday was a poor game by us, but we won. I am extremely happy that we won and also very happy that the germans beat England. I hate England more than anything(together with Brazil)and a defeat against England would be impossible to take for me.
Tevez, Masch and Heinze were all great.I am so incredibly happy that we have Carlos Tevez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Messi mediocre like last game because he is obsessed with scoring and is dribbling too much. Otamendi and Higuain were good, but Higuain should have burried his header. The problem with our attacking play is that everything that happens is due to coincidents….Messi or Tevez doing some magic. There is no real plan and cohesive movement. I HATE to see this.
This german team is NOT as good as everyone says. They have 1 great asset: fantastic counter attacks. But that is their ONLY real strenght. To stop them is easy: prevent them from getting chances to counter attack. Park the bus and let those bastards taste their own medicine. Defend low in 4-4-1-1, play possesion football, and they will not do us much harm. BUT will Tevez do all the dirty work that is required, for 90 minutes, if he is played as a side midfielder? But just the thought of this team without Tevez scares me to death…he is essential! So I kinda find it hard to agree with myself on this…….
One way to get eaten alive by Germany: play kamikaze 4-3-1-2 and they will counter attack us to death. We would have absolutely no chance with this system against the germans, I repeat absolutely no chance.
- 2:06 pm
brazil is very strong, but they will make one crucial mistake, and that will be against us in the final. and against germany we must slow down the game and play like in 2006 till ayala's goal. we will have our moment against them, and this will decide the game.
- 2:33 pm
Apocalyptic Creator-->
with all do respect, you cannot be more wrong.
in 2006 Italy had good luck facing Australia and Ukraine until they faced Germany in the semis. you remember Germany in 2006 and how the idiot and crazy man Peckerman cost us the game against them? while Italy played good tatics, dominated the game and went to the final.
As for France, after the group stage they were the best team with increasing momentum. you do not defeat spain, brazil, and portugal by chance. granted it was not Dominique who masterminded it, it was Zidane. but they again played right tactics.
as for Brazil playing boring football. i will have to disagree again. they are not plying the "show" football, yes. but they are very effective. it takes them 4 touches to reach the opposition's goal. love it or hate, that's effective football and you cannot accuse Brazil players for lack of skill. Kaka, Robinho, and Maincon can rip any defence apart. who do we have? Messi, Tevez, and Higuain. so we are not exactly better in that sense.
i won't give a damn if we play solid effective football, win every match 1-0 and win the world cup. i prefer that on showing up against Nigeria, Korea, and Greece, barely make it against Mexico and then loose against Germany, Spain, or Brazil.
again i say despite all the missing players, still with the current players we have a good team. just we need a footballing brain on the bench. i hope Maradona will take actions before it all ends in agony.
- 2:43 pm
oh Apocalyptic Creator-->
by the way, do you call what we played against Mexico "good football"? for god's sake we were not able of putting together a single decent team attack.
Maradona must have watched Brazil today and try to learn how to organize one.

Mohd, I venture to say that your "i won't give a damn if we play solid effective football, win every match 1-0 and win the world cup" is definitely NOT the way any of us from Argentina was brought up to think about football. When I read your words I can only think you don't understand what kind of football we were raised to see and play in Argentina. To sacrifice certain qualities for the sake of pragmatism once in a while, as someone said above, is one thing (we can be OK with that). To play dryly or without class for the sole sake of effectiveness as a rule, however, is something else: it means going against our own football roots, and I can guarantee to you that not many Argentina fans would be proud--and much less happily identified--with such kind of football. That is simply not us.
This said, with all due respect, your rants against Maradona are starting to feel tiresome to me --and likely to many others. At this point, he IS our manager (and he has been for a while now as you well know), so I fail to see what's the point of your relentless attacks and condescending comments. What are you expecting to achieve with them? We have heard you already. Please spare us, would you? Thanks in advance.
- 3:33 pm
Mohd, saying Peckarman is an idiot and crazy is beyind acceptable. He is a genius, and we didnt lose one game with him. He got us glory on all levels except the FIFA world cup where we were out on penalities against eh hosts. Man, I respect your opinions, but there are things you say that negate common sense... just to let you know, Peckerman was the man who put together the team that everyone wanted Diego to use for the finals, he is the one who let our previous team blend. Anyway, enough of the past, but please when a great coach like Peckerman is called an idiot, what have we come to? Are we the new Italian fans or the new English fans, who boo their team as after a game? This is not Argentinian at all. I'm not saying don't criticize, I' saying we should have respect for ppl who got us glory man!!!! Criticize, but you're not fooling anyone by degrading a coach like Peckerman. Maybe Riquelme should not have been subbed, but that doen not make him an idiot!
Vamos Argentina.

I never said "we played great football in the Mexico game" - please do not put words into my mouth.
I am equally saddened by the way we didnt play possession football and play with more calmness and build attacks and win.
However, just because we didnt play very very well doesn't mean i will throw my hat and start screaming that everything is wrong with this team and with Diego's tactics. - thats insane.
There are things that probably did not work out to the best in the Mexico game and I hope Diego and his staff will recognize them and try to find solutions to them.
(Ofcourse I have my own ideas on how they can be solved) - yet I will not scream and rubbish everything Diego is implementing.
For a fact I was quite impressed to see how Diego had the flexibility to put Otamendi in place of Jonas when the RB was clearly a huge problem for us in the 1st match against Nigeria.
I wonder how everyone was almost gloating on how Diego is a magician in finding the right way to utilize messi in those 1st 3 matches.
I will just say this: both the euphoria over a win is wrong as well as the pessimism over a bad match being played is hugely wrong.
If Diego had found a way to use Messi in the best way, the other teams have watched that and is & wil try to nullify it, now a good coach will adapt and find better ways.
remember Diego is still not proved to be a good or a great coach. But since he is at the helm and we have seen he has been able to get quite a few things right in this world cup :
1.getting the team spirit up, 2.inspiring players to give their best which in my opinion is the most imp.
3.getting setplay formations correctly to get good goals
4. finding a formula to use Messi
I think the least he deserves is a lambasting from us the fans after we have won a match just because we didnt play to our max capacity and show our best.
I hope Diego doesnt let me down and will find the right solutions.
I dream to see Diego with the Cup once again.
And I know for a fact that my lambasting the team or the coach isnt going to help in any way especially when I don't find Diego to have done a really bad job till now.
I will still give Diego a rating of 6.9 for the game against Mexico.
We had to win the last WC Mexico game in the extra time with a team which was playing the best football at that time and Pekerman was hailed as the genius.
It is hard to win a WC match and if we hadn't been 2-0 up in the 1st half we may as well have seen a diff Argentina in the 2nd half (speculation I know) but different games need different approaches.
- 3:58 pm

Now about Dunga and the point about skillful football:
Brazil has 2-4 very good skillful offensive players. Their strategy is:
defend defend defend well..
and hopefully their forwards will get them a counter attacking goal in a swift move or set piece goal,
And we can see how Brazil struggled against teams like N.Korea and Portugal. Even against Ivory Coast, Fabiano's handball goal killed the match otherwise it would have been a fight.
Arg didnt have such matches in their group stage.
I agree Brazil football is effective and works in many times, but thats precisely why they won the WC '94 finals in a penalty shootout. Just like the italians did in WC-2006. To play for the penalties is a disgrace. (especially in a WC)
That is why I feel very strongly that if Brazil progress then against Uruguay's good defence it will surely result in a penalty shootout or even an Uruguain victory.
(obviously considering ghana is overcome by Uruguay)
I know we all love to win and will give anything to win at any cost (even just effective football) and I will voice a big big YES too at times.
However in perspective being a lover of the game, I started loving Argentina from Maradona's time when I saw him dribble past a whole Eng defence and I crave for that fantasy football still with a desire to win too. So I simply cannot completely discard my inherent love of the game for a simple pragmatic approach because then I am sure I will sooner or later fall out of the love. :)

Peckerman is a great coach. he made only one mistake in 2006 and sadly we lost. lippi made 10 mistakes, and italy won. that's life. to blame peckedman is idiocy.
we were very very unlucky in 2006, that's all. the draw, the disallowed goals, the bullshit slowak ref against germany would be too much for every team. now we have luck, at least till now.

Can someone give me a english translation of Messi's comments after the Mexico game:

Dan said,
Enough of the personal attacks. It is okay to be passionate, but not to be rude. If you swear, you are discrediting yourself.
Brazil is a good team, so is Argentina. Neither team has truly been tested. This will happen when we face Germany and Netherlands.
Brazil plays defensive football. We know that. They did not achieve anything against Portugal. Again, they have not been tested. Go down 1-0, and then we can see what they are made of.
As a football fan, sorry guys, beating Korea, North or South, Greece, Ivory Coast, etc...These are all B or C rated teams with maybe 1 good player.
To beat anyone going forward, it will take the following for Argentina or Brazil. Discipline, great teamwork and a bit of individual brilliance.
We have Demichelis so discipline is not in our corner. We have great teamwork, and I love Argentina. But mark my words, if we happen to meet in the finals, and alot can happen in the next two games for either team, Messi must score goals. Just like Tevez has an amazing work rate, Messi must find the back of the net. I honestly believe he has a mental block. Look at the individual play Higuain had against Mexico, or Tevez. Messi had one such play where he bounced the ball off the post and it was knocked in. To be a legend, an all time great, Messi must find the back of the net against Brazil in the finals if we make it that far. That is how legends are born like Diego, Kempes, etc.

so your from Argentina, and i am not. so of course you know more about your contry and i won't argue with that. but what loss of class are you talking about? the only two world cups that Argentina won were actually:
1- 1978 by playing effective (totally non entertaining) football and benefiting form the home advantage
2- by having maradona, and 10 players who can defend.
and the other final in 1990 was again by having maradona, canagia, and 9 players that can defend.
since then we have failed to go beyond the quarter finals!
Brazil were kept searching for their first title since 1970 until someone changed their style and according to you, lowered their class.
this is modern football, love it or hate it.
regarding Maradona "rants". please feel free to skip my comments and spare yourself, easy no? glad i could help.
for the anonymous defending peckerman-->
i am not degrading anybody. that's my opinion of peckerman. you say he brought us glory with youth levels. man we did not need peckerman for that! peckerman left and still the youth teams kept winning virtually every competition.
Apocalyptic Creator-->
i am not voting for ugly football. far from it. and you really cannot accuse brazil of playing ugly football. still if we do not win the WC then i will be rooting for Spain because they have that "natural" sense in playing football. but for us to win, MUCH has to change.
and regarding Maradona, i really do not care if i bother everyone here when i say for the 1000 time the man does not know tactics. just like it has been written 1000 times about people who love Milito vs those who adore Higuain and many other topics. no one is reading us really but that did not stop anyone, right?
eager to hear you back up your opinion that Lippi made 10 mistakes in 2006 with some proofs...just curious!

Now that's good news! Samuel is the most important and essential player in our team! I just hope that Burdisso takes Demichelis' position in defence. I knew even before the world cup when everyone was praising Demichelis as out best defender, I was one of the sceptical ones who didn't like him and didn't rate him that highly.
Now the lack of World class depth is where Maradona has mistaken in this world cup. His big mistake in his selection was not choosing Gaby Milito in defence. If he was partnering Samuel in defence we would have had the best defence in the tournament. Now Burdisso is not my favorite defender for Argentina but he's better than Demichelis.
So as of now, A Samuel-Burdisso partnership would be our best choice.

guys, the thing is brasil is soooo boring. yes, they look like champions when they play, a champion like mourinho. they have no art, no soul. they only do their dirty job. they're like a fierce headmaster while our team is like an art teacher. get it? i believe maradona's charm and luck will get us through. i admit, tactically he's not so strong, but he has been there and done that, and there's what nobody can take awat from us. he is the greatest ever!!! we'll win the cup Insya Allah, brothers
- 1:14 am
Considering that Diego had Veron on the bench makes one believe maybe he will leave Demi out of the team against Germany.
I am truly greatful for one thing, that is that we played a bad game and still came out on top. The biggest lapses was we lost possesion to easy and felt that players dident keep there positions. Di Maria, Maxi, Macherano underperformed. I really would like to give Pastore a chance in place of Di Maria.
I got a strong feeling we will beat the germans without to much problem. I saw them against Ghana (the most skillful team they played sow far) and they left massive laps in there defence. I even thought to myself my God if Argentina had those counterattacking chances that Ghana had, we would rip them apart. England is a strong team, but they seriously lack flair.
Per Mertesacker is big and strong but very slow, this should suit Messi well. And the Germans do not posseses the same speed and skill as the Mexicans. Thou they are much more leathel in there finishing.
Another interesting aspect of the game is that the germans play with three in midfield like us. Sow it will be a nice battle.
Finally i really think that there is not one player in there starting eleven who would take a place in ours. Not even Özil.
- 1:40 am
mohd, just like the millions of people who weren't conviced we could win all 3 games in the first stage, you are using the 'no tactics' excuses. diego has brought shame to those who were hoping for our team's downfall. everybody attacked him. now we're in the quarterfinals, we have scored more goals than anyone, had the most shots, played very entertaining football, we didn't have the easiest group (for me england and holland's group was so easy), and still you recycling these ideas? I know it's your opinion, but please, if you dare to critisize, you should also dare to swallow your words. be a man, don't hide behind the we-haven't-played-any-good-sides story or we-haven't been-tested-yet! give the man some credit. It's way easier to sit infront of your laptop and bark rather than get 23 players with different levels of ego, attitude and mould them into a favorite. Spain lost 1 game, england played shit, france and italy are down and out since the beginning, hell, germany lost too! we should be proud of our team and give that man a break! salud my friend, we're all albicelestes!!!
- 2:30 am
Hi guys. I will be watching the game at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday. Any Argentina fans want to meet up beforehand?

Rumours Surface Of Unrest In The Argentina Camp
- 4:15 am
Dan said,
This is amazing article about the unrest...
Let me get this straight, a washed up 35 year old and a second division player in England are pissed they got yanked.
I hope it is not true, but one more reason, VERON SUCKS.
Oh, where is the maturity if this is true?
- 4:37 am
Oh No! Paul, the Octopus has predicted a Germany win :(
- 4:50 am
Maradona is saying:
"First we will evaluate those who played and those who didn't against Mexico then we will find the best team, the elite team, to play Germany. It will be the team that gives me guarantees to win the game,"
i take this as good news. hopefuly he spots the problem and fixes it.
- 6:00 am
what the hell?? wht unrest??? we are supporting ARGENTINA in each and every way!!!!! we are leaving all thing inorder to see them lift trophy and they are fighting there !!! shameless people!!! dont they care about their country?? selfish!!! shit ... its so snnoying news!! we are the crazy to support such selfish players!!! i m really pissed off!!!
- 6:57 am
i believe this report is a pure nonsense. why?
think about it. the report mentions Samuel, Veron, and Jonas. first Samuel knows very well that he is an absolute first choice and he was injured. so why would he make an issue about it?!
the report describes these players as high profile players. Jonas - as much as i admire him - does not fall into this category.
veron..could be but i doubt it. he has too much respect to maradona
- 7:08 am
thx bro for ur opinion but dont know why i m feeling very very bad....from 2 years i have counted each day man each day to see Argentina play in world cup and seeing these players i though they have great chemistry and understading... and they all respect each other and from yesterday i have been dreaming of germany match but now the news are coming of this types!!! still really depressed... I HOPE ALL PLAYERS RSPECT THE ARGENTINA SHIRT AND PLAY FOR THEIR TEAM !!! i really hope this news is false.... VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!!
- 7:19 am
- @thinkingzombie said...
I fully agree with Mohd..
the unrest rumour seems to be very very unlikely, maybe one of those typical rumour stories.
Veron has too much respect for Maradona + he knows this is his last chance.
How can Wall be unhappy, he was injured and Jonas.. oh come on.. he must still be thanking maradona to having him in South Africa 1st of all.

I have better things to do than looking a a octopussy .. :D
- 10:35 am
There is no unrest, just unconfirmed rumor, even the story said no player has complained, they just assume so because they are not playing. Everyone of the players not playing should be disappointed, I know I would be, but they all know the only way to address it is to play hard and wait for your chance.
And I think it's both unfair to attack Maradona now because he does have them playing well, and winning. And no one in Argentina (and few in Brazil for that matter) would like to be playing Dunga-style football. It's unclear to me why anyone outside of Brazil could be a fan of such tactics; I mean, I would get it if you are Brazilian, that's your country, by why would anyone without any connection to the place want to support such a dour style? It really makes little sense to me.
- 10:45 am
I don't know where this rumours come from. It could be wrong. But it could be true. Why? Tevez attitude after being substitute by Maradona. He admit that he's angry. I can see clearly some of our 'star' player show their ego. Oh man, that's why we never success in WC after Maradona era. Players put their ego rather than team unity and shirt. Poor Diego, from the begining he receive a lot of criticsm. It's not easy to coach a team with a lot of 'stars' like argentina. Trust me guys, why Argentina never win WC? Coz they act them self bigger than NT. It's not solely on technical and coaching matter. If it's true, I fully support Diego. You can imagine guys if Maradona must unite Veron, Riquelme, Zanetti, Cambiasso in one team. An average star like Tevez brave enough to confront his coach....
- 11:16 am
Guys, I can accept if you, media criticize Maradona. But I can not accept players ruin the national team dream. Maradona build this team from zero, with such a pain. We have been through hardest moment and the player itself fighting each other, stab Maradona. Sad rumour.
- 11:29 am
this german octopus also predicted that germany loses against ghana! so very good he predicted that we exit, that is a very good omen.
i can't wait for thos game! and don't worry about our team spirit, it is great. and you need a big ago to win the wc.
- 12:25 pm
This is tabloid BS. We should be talking about Germany, not this junk. It's us talking about it more that creates more waves, just drop it.
- 12:31 pm
once again an offside goal! sweet when it helps you, bitter when it helps someone else. the refereeing is awful, though villa was just centimeters offside.
- 1:11 pm
Well regarding the Octopus remember that it had an 80% prediction rate for Euro 2008. So far the first 4 games it has called for Germany were correct. Hence, this 5th one should technically be incorrect. Basic math tell us it will get every 4 out 5 matches right. So nothing to worry about boys and lets enjoy Saturday's game...
- 1:30 pm
- Unknown said...
WHy is Tevez's reaction such a cause for concern? This is nonsense.
I see it as a good side - He always wants to be out there. And I'm so happy to see him hit a good streak at such an important moment.
All this supposed rancor is just fire in their bellies for the next match. I'm sure they're like lions in a cage right now. They probably can't wait to spring.
All the "discord' is just background noise to that.
- 2:18 pm
Dan said,
Look at Clarin.com.
It looks like people in Argentina want the following lineup
Otamendi Burdisso Samuel Heinze
Maxi Mascherano Pastore
Higuain Tevez
Not alot of people happy with Demi or DiMaria
- 3:15 pm
- @thinkingzombie said...
I think we should discuss the offside and referring stuff.
In spite of benefiting for the referee's decision against mexico I am totally against any wrong decisions that turns a match. The agony of injustice is far greater and I feel talented teams get punished more often than not due to dubious decisions esp because they create the most chances.
I have heard FIFA has removed Rosetti (arg-Mex game), Eng-germany game ref and the Mali ref (of USA game) from their list.
I am quite surprised bcoz both in Arg-Mex and Eng-Germany game, it was a wrong call from the linesman and not the ref. Punishing the ref makes no sense in those cases.
Also refs do a job in the split second and is highly difficult. Blaming the ref is easy but to actually make the game more just, FIFA needs to do a few imp changes to the game (in my opinion):
1. Introduce video technology.
which a fifth official will sit in front of the monitor, and keep informing the ref of the situations. The ref can also have the option to consult the fifth official over the microphone if he wants to.
(it gives rise to the qus of stopping the flow of the game).
Well it doesn't necessarily stop the flow of the game if implemented correctly.
if the game has been stopped already (like say a foul or a goal) it shud be open for review by the fifth official and corrected. As we as an audience can see any such wrong calls even before the restart of teh match I am sure the ref can be informed too.
2. Now come offsides - this is tricky, refs shud still hold the upper hand in that and keep calling or not calling off-sides. However if the off-side has resulted in a goal and the match has stopped, I think its okay to review it and get the correct decision.
In all cases of marginal or not being 100% accurate about the decision, the decision of the ref on the field is to be respected.
3. And finally FIFA must also introduce post game video analysis.
And this should be just for red-card worth fouls and for cheaters or fakers who dive to con the ref.
For all teh divers and fakers who try to con the ref or even have conned the ref and got an yelow on the field. If that conning is actually a valid fake dive then it shud be automatic suspension for that player for the next 10 games.
I know many of you will say that its not always evident if it was an actual dive or if there was actual contact. Well as I had previously suggested for all such non deterministic cases, the ruling of the ref on the field will hold and be respected.
and many will also say 10 game suspension is harsh. i will say "NO". For all I love Spain's football, the acting of capdavilla today was shameful and got a diff player sent off for no reason. What would have resulted in the match had that not happened can never be found out and hence such a fake dive or con must be severely punished so that players will think 10 times before they try that cheap trick.
Again I repeat apply this to those cases will are visibly evident and cannot be doubted at all. Like say today Capdavilla clutched his face when nothing happened, like rivaldo who caught his face when the ball hit his leg.
to stamp out the conning and diving, suspend the player for the next 10 matches and make the team in which the player plays play the next match starting with 10 men.
Lets see how many teams then will keep encouraging their players to try to win fake penalties and free kicks.
- 4:02 pm
- @thinkingzombie said...
ALso wanted to note that in the Arg-Mex game,
the stats say that Arg had 51% possession and Mex had 49% possession.
During the match however I dont know how but it seemed to me Arg never had the ball :P
and I think all our rants are based on that.
Somehow the stats show something else.
- 5:00 pm
Tevez seem fine to me!
2010 WC is ours!
- 5:40 pm
what i saw after we were 3-0 up was arg trying to play an inter type of game and it did not work as we will not win the w.c with defence its out offence that will win it for us with the players we have.
maybe this was an experinent for the upcomimg games but it did not work and a lesson to learn is dont do what perkerman did and try to defend lean no matter how big or small.
keep attacking at all times and to me is the lesson from the mexicoian game is were are an amazing attacking team and not a kill the game defending
- 5:59 pm
At the WC, referees and linesmen work in teams, if one makes a mistake FIFA cuts the group.
- 6:01 pm
Haha.. look at Veron trying so hard to block that pass to Hernandez.. You gotta give it to such a hard-working genius.
- 6:25 pm
Argentina will beat Germany 2-0. I picked 3-1 victory over the Mexicans and now I feel a 2-0 is in our horizon.
- 6:49 pm
i think it's not true there's an unrest. i refuse to believe it. now we need to be 100% confident in our minds that our beloved albiceleste will eat the germans head off. i believe that if we all 100% believe this, we will indirectly help our team.
the lineup from clarin is awesome i think. we just need to block spaces from being used by germany. then concentrate our game. masche must handcuff ozil; we'll be good after that
and JB, i'm from kuala lumpur. have been a supporter since 1990 :)my fav palyers has been from time to time; maradona, batigol, veron, aimar and currently tevez. my most hated country NT is england,brazil and yes, germany.
- 6:59 pm
Dan said,
I agree with you Gebrihell. Also, I would swap out Maxi for Jonas, or DiMaria. He killed Germany last time and he is an open field player.
We will now see Paraguay try to do the same crap Portugal did and lose. The only challenge to Spain before the final is Argentina, and I believe we will beat them. Funny how everybody talks about our defense being weak, Spain's defense sucks. If Portugal had more than Ronaldo as a striker, they would have stuck two in the net.

Working with Asynchronous Code
If you've ever worked with callbacks, you know how difficult it is to read and understand code split into different methods. Tornado provides a generator-based interface (
tornado.gen) to enable you to write asynchronous code in handlers in a single generator.
You simply need to use the
@tornado.gen.coroutine decorator for asynchronous generators in the
required method and you don't need to add the
@tornado.web.asynchronous decorator. Listing Three shows a new subclass of
tornado.web.RequestHandler and defines the
get() method with the
@tornado.gen.coroutine decorator. You need to add two imports to add the code to the previous listing:
import tornado.gen and
import tornado.httpclient.
Listing Three: A different subclass of tornado.web.RequestHandler.
class GetFullPageAsyncHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): @tornado.gen.coroutine def get(self): http_client = tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient() http_response = yield http_client.fetch("http://www.drdobbs.com/web-development") response = http_response.body.decode().replace( "Most Recent Premium Content", "Most Recent Content") self.write(response) self.set_header("Content-Type", "text/html")
Because I've added a new subclass of
RequestHandler, it is necessary to map the URL pattern in
tornado.Web.Application. Listing Four shows the new code that maps the
/getfullpage URL to the
Listing Four: Mapping a URL to a handler.
application = tornado.web.Application([ (r"/getfullpage", GetFullPageAsyncHandler), (r"/getgamebyid/([0-9]+)", GetGameByIdHandler), (r"/version", VersionHandler), ])
GetFullPageAsyncHandler.get method creates a
tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient instance (
http_client) that represents a non-blocking HTTP client. Then, the code calls the
http_client.fetch method of this instance to asynchronously execute a request. The
fetch method returns a
Future, whose result is an
HTTPResponse, and raises an
HTTPError if the request returns a response code other than
200. The code uses the
yield keyword to retrieve the
HTTPResponse from the
Future returned by the
fetch method.
The call to
fetch retrieves the Dr. Dobb's Web Development page from
http://www.drdobbs.com/web-development with an asynchronous execution. When
fetch finishes its execution with a successful response code equal to
http_response will be an
HTTPRequest instance with the contents of the retrieved HTML page in
http_response.body. The method continues its execution with the line after the call to
fetch. You have all the code that needs to be executed in the
get method with the
@tornado.gen.coroutine decorator, and you don't have to worry about writing a callback for
on_fetch. The next line decodes the response body to a string and replaces "Most Recent Premium Content" with "Most Recent Content." Then, the code calls the
self.write method to write the modified string and sets the
Content-Type of the response to
Listing Five is the equivalent code, which uses the
@tornado.web.asynchronous decorator instead of
@tornado.gen.coroutine. In this case, it is necessary to define the
on_fetch method that works as the callback for the
http_client.fetch method; therefore, the code is split into two methods.
Listing Five: The equivalent functionality using a decorator.
class GetFullPageAsyncNewHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): @tornado.web.asynchronous def get(self): http_client = tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient() http_client.fetch("http://www.drdobbs.com/web-development", callback=self.on_fetch) def on_fetch(self, http_response): if http_response.error: raise tornado.web.HTTPError(500) response = http_response.body.decode().replace("Most Recent Premium Content", "Most Recent Content") self.write(response) self.set_header("Content-Type", "text/html") self.finish()
When the
fetch method finishes retrieving the content, it executes the code in
on_fetch. Because the
get method uses
@tornado.web.asynchronous, it is your responsibility to call
self.finish() to finish the HTTP request. Thus, the
on_fetch method calls
self_finish in its last line, after calling
self.write and
self.set_header. As you can see, it is much easier to use the
@tornado.gen.coroutine decorator.
Understanding How Tornado Works with a RequestHandler Subclass
RequestHandler class defines a
SUPPORTED_METHODS class variable with the following code. If you need support for different methods, you need to override the
SUPPORTED_METHODS class variable in your
RequestHandler subclass:
The default code for the
put(), and
options() methods is a single line that raises an
HTTPError. Listing Six shows the code for the
get method:
Listing Six: The get() method.
def get(self, *args, **kwargs): raise HTTPError(405)
Whenever the Web application receives a request and matches the URL pattern, Tornado performs the following actions:
- It creates a new instance of the
RequestHandlersubclass that has been mapped to the URL pattern.
- It calls the
initializemethod with the keyword arguments specified in the application configuration. You can override the
initializemethod to save the arguments into member variables.
- No matter what the HTTP request, Tornado calls the
preparemethod. If you call either
send_error, Tornado won't call any additional methods. You can override the
preparemethod to execute code that is necessary for any HTTP request, then write your specific code in the
- It calls the method according to the HTTP request with the arguments based on the URL regular expression that captured the different groups. As you already know, you must override the methods you want your
RequestHandlersubclass to be able to process. For example, if there is an HTTP
GETrequest, Tornado will call the
getmethod with the different arguments.
- If the handler is synchronous, Tornado calls
on_finishafter the previous method called, according to the HTTP request returns. But if the handler is asynchronous, Tornado executes
on_finishafter the code calls
finish. The previous asynchronous example showed the usage of
finish. You can override the
on_finishmethod to perform cleanup or logging. Notice that Tornado calls
on_finishafter it sends the response to the client.
If the client closes the connection in asynchronous handlers, Tornado calls
on_connection_close. You can override this method to clean up resources in this specific scenario. However, the cleanup after processing the request must be included in the
on_finish method.
Listing Seven shows a new version of the
GetGameByIdHandler class that overrides the
initialize method to receive a string specified in the application configuration. The
initialize method just saves
common_string into a member variable, then the
get method uses the string in the response:
Listing Seven: Overriding the initialize() method.
class GetGameByIdHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): def initialize(self, common_string): self.common_string = common_string def get(self, id): response = { 'id': int(id), 'name': 'Crazy Game', 'release_date': date.today().isoformat(), 'common_string': self.common_string } self.write(response)
The following code shows the changes in the arguments passed to the
tornado.web.Application constructor to pass a value for
common_string in a dictionary for the
GetGameByIdHandler request handler:
application = tornado.web.Application([ (r"/getgamebyid/([0-9]+)", GetGameByIdHandler, dict(common_string='Value defined in Application')),
In this case, I've used a simple string as the value passed from the application. However, the most common usage will be to pass one or more common objects (for example, a database object).
Returning Errors in a Request Handler
Listing Eight shows the code for the
ErrorHandler request handler that demonstrates the simplest use of the three different mechanisms to return errors in a handler method.
Listing Eight: A simple error request handler.
class ErrorHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler): def get(self, error_code): if error_code == 1: self.set_status(500) elif error_code == 2: self.send_error(500) else: raise tornado.web.HTTPError(500)
It is necessary to add the appropriate mapping to the
Application constructor parameters with the following line:
(r"/error/([0-9]+)", ErrorHandler),
error_code is equal to 1, the
get method calls
self.set_status, which sets the status code for the response. It is also possible to specify a
reason string as the second parameter. If
error_code is equal to
2, the
get method calls
self.send_error, which sends the specified HTTP error code to the browser. Any other
error_code value will make the
get method raise a
tornado.web.HTTPError exception with the
500 status code.
The three different mechanisms to return errors return the default error page, which you can change by overriding the
write_error method in your
RequestHandler subclasses.
In this article, I've provided many examples to show how to easy it is to start developing RESTful APIs with Tornado. I've covered basic features, but you will definitely want to dive deeper into Tornado's additional useful features when building a complete RESTful API. Tornado's source code comes with good documentation for the different methods and variables, so you can easily build the methods you need to use as you write code.

Spent an incredible 3 days with the BAC folks in the UK. Shinoo Mapleton, owner of Sector111 organized the trip for five owners/deposit holders/prospects. Monday was a tour of the BAC facilities and some introductory words from everyone, followed by fitting of custom bead seats by Alex Powell of ProSeat to several owners. He also did the custom wheel option fitting for one lucky fellow.
Tuesday was a cold windy rainy track day at Oulton Park with Oli Webb riding herd and pacing us in a lead Mono to help avoid troubles. I was fully expecting to be wet and miserable but surprisingly my first drive, in the rain, was just fine. I stayed perfectly dry (shock) other than the water streaming off my helmet visor. The Mono was surprisingly grippy and with short-shifting hands and smooth foot action, there was zero drama. Ditto for my second drive, thankfully after the rain stopped.
Wednesday was a trip to visit the Cosworth facilities, where the Mono engine is born. We were treated to a full tour and spent almost 4 hours with the fine folks there and were able to see the room where our engines are built, the dyno cells where they are hot tested and run-in and speak to the builders and an engineer over the 2.3 engine development.
Every evening we had a tasty dinner with BAC folks joining us and personally I was able to get about a thousand questions off my shoulders. I'm sure the patient and always accommodating BAC people were glad for the opportunity to share and respond. Truly memories that will last a lifetime for car crazy guys! And all of us there were car crazy. Seems the Mono draws in the hard core car nuts as opposed to poseurs :-)

Why the Owlz Lost
In last Tuesday's blog, before the Pioneer League pennant series began, I warned, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves here."
The Pioneer League's three-game championship format has a knack for creating upsets, and that's what happened in 2008 as the 52-23 Orem Owlz lost to the 39-37 Great Falls Voyagers, two games to one.
There are many reasons why the Owlz fell, the best-of-three format being one of them.
Here are some other reasons, from my perspective.
- For openers, the Owlz' offense was largely silent. Orem hit 76 homers during the season (#2 in the league); three of the top five home run hitters in the league wore Owlz jerseys. But they hit only one homer in the playoffs, a solo shot by Beau Brooks in the 7th inning of Game #1 None of the leading home run hitters delivered.
- I saw Games #2 and #3 at Orem, so I can personally comment on those games. Time and again, the Owlz had opportunities to capitalize but failed. They won Game #2 3-2 in 13 innings, but left 16 runners on base and committed four errors. In Game #3, the left on nine runners. They had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the 2nd in Game #3, but the next two batters struck out.
- I won't name names, but there were some truly boneheaded decisions by certain players. In the aforementioned bases-loaded situation with two outs, the batter on his own squared and tried to bunt, fouling off the pitch. No squeeze was on, so far as I could tell. He just decided to try it on his own. On another play, a Great Falls batter hit a pop fly that could have been easily handled by one infielder, but another infielder called him off — and missed the ball.
- Both sides griped about the umpiring, which isn't unusual at any level, but the home plate umpire in Game #2 jumped the gun and tossed Luis Jimenez, the league's home run leader. Jimenez tried to take home on a squeeze play (that really was called), but the bunt was missed and he was easily tagged out. "Lucho" hit the catcher hard, but it was a clean hit. He turned back to the plate and was immediately tossed by the umpire, who apparently thought Lucho was charging the catcher. The Owlz won that game in 13 innings, but it meant running the bullpen instead of saving some guys for Game #3.
- By no means is this intended as a slight against interim manager Brent Del Chiaro, but I think Tom Kotchman's absence due to his wife's illness cost the team a certain degree of intensity. Losing Kotch before the playoffs would have been like the U.S. hockey team losing Herb Brooks just before the 1980 Winter Olympics. The team is geared emotionally to respond to Kotchman; you could have resurrected Billy Martin but it wouldn't have been the same.
I hope that one day the Pioneer League expands the title series to best-of-five. Until then, expect more mediocre teams to fly a pennant flag, diminishing the integrity of their championships.

SUMMARY: Lead is one of the heavy metals most used in industry. Poisoning due to long-term lead exposure is known as saturnism, and is an occupational illness that has been known for many years. Lead is highly toxic and can compromise the structural and functional patterns of organs and systems. The aim of this study was to examine the lungs and kidneys of fetuses from female Wistar rats exposed to lead acetate. In this study, the lungs and kidneys of 20 fetuses from female rats that had previously been treated with lead acetate were dissected, fixed, embedded in paraffin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Macroscopic changes to the shape, color and consistency of organs from fetuses treated with this heavy metal were observed, in comparison with organs from control fetuses. Microscopic lesions characterized by vascular sclerosis, cell atrophy or hyperplasia, progressive interstitial fibrosis, inclusion bodies containing lead acetate and glomerular sclerosis were found in the kidneys. The lesions found in the lungs consisted of destructuring of the parenchyma, impregnation with lead acetate, formation of fibrosis, extravasation of vascular fluids, reduction of the alveolar spaces and formation of alveolar edema. These changes were correlated with the level of lead acetate absorption, as determined using atomic spectrophotometry.
KEY WORDS: Lead acetate; Fetuses; Lung; Kidney.
RESUMEN: El plomo es un metal pesado utilizado en la industria. El envenenamiento debido a la exposición prolongada por plomo es una enfermedad profesional conocida por muchos años. La toxicidad del plomo es muy expresiva y puede poner en peligro el modelo estructural y funcional de los órganos y sistemas. El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar los pulmones y riñones de fetos de ratas Wistar expuestos al acetato de plomo. En este estudio, 20 fetos de ratas Wistar previamente tratados con acetato de plomo durante la gestación, tuvieron sus órganos disecados, fijados, incluidos en parafina y teñidos con hematoxilina y eosina. Macroscópicamente, los órganos fetales tratados por este metal fueron comparados con los órganos de fetos controles en relación a forma, color y consistencia. Microscópicamente, se encontraron lesiones en el riñón que se caracterizaron por esclerosis vascular, atrofia o hiperplasia de células, fibrosis intersticial progresiva, presencia de cuerpos de inclusión que contenían acetato de plomo y esclerosis glomerular. En el pulmón se observó desorganización del parénquima impregnado con acetato de plomo, formación de fibrosis, líquido intersticial, reducción de los espacios alveolares y edema alveolar. Estos cambios se correlacionaron con el nivel de absorción de acetato de plomo, determinado por espectrometría atómica.
PALABRAS CLAVE: Acetato de plomo; Fetos; Pulmón; Riñon.
Since ancient times, lead has been one of the heavy metals most used by man for manufacturing utensils, arms and ornaments. There is evidence that it was already in use in Asia Minor in 4,000 BC (Nakamura, 2002). However, it only came into large-scale use from the eighteenth century onwards, when it started to be incorporated into emerging industrial processes (Audesirk, 1985). Its diversity of uses is attributed to its physical characteristics, such as: low melting point, ductility, and facility for forming metal alloys, malleability and resistance to corrosion. Despite the implementation of industrial hygiene measures, lead has been responsible for high incidence of poisoning among Brazilian workers (Smith et al., 1996).
Unlike other metals like iron, zinc, cobalt and copper, lead does not form part of the biological metabolism. Its absorption by the organism produces poisoning that is known as saturnism. This is a type of occupational illness, and it was first described in modern times by Tanquerel in 1839, based on 1200 cases (Nakamura). Initially, lead poisoning presents subclinically, but it tends to worsen through compromising different organs and systems, such as the kidneys, liver, central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the neuromuscular, hematopoietic, endocrine, reproductive and cardiovascular systems (Smith et al.; De Capitani, 2009). Rojas et al. (2003) reported that although lead exposure is declining in developing countries, chronic contamination due to low-level exposure continues to be a significant problem for children's health.
Studies on the toxic action of lead on living organisms have been conducted for a long time. However, the findings still seem to be insufficient to explain what the mechanisms of action that originate these toxic effects are and how they function. Hence, research on the effects of lead on living organisms continue to be necessary in order to assist in understanding and consequently, preventing these effects (Moreira & Moreira, 2004).
With the aim of contributing towards knowledge of the action of lead on living organisms, the present study had the objective of analyzing the structure and quantifying the absorption of lead in the lungs and kidneys of fetuses from female Wistar rats that were treated with different concentrations of lead acetate during pregnancy.
Macroscopic analysis. Twenty full-term fetuses from female Wistar rats were used for this study. They were divided into four groups of five fetuses each, corresponding to different concentrations of lead acetate with which the rats were treated during pregnancy, for a mean period of 30 days. The concentrations used in three groups were 12.5, 25.0 and 50.0 mg/kg of body weight, while the fourth group consisted of control animals that received distilled water instead of lead acetate (Freire et al., 2002). All the rats were kept in an ad libitum feeding regimen.
The fetuses were fixed in a 10% paraformaldehyde solution in Millonig's buffer (0.1 M phosphate at pH 7.4). After fixing, the lungs and kidneys of each fetus were dissected and analyzed macroscopically. Photographic documentation was produced, through images captured by a Sony Cybershot DSC-W80 7.1 digital camera.
Microscopic analysis. For the microscopic analysis, the kidneys and lungs were dehydrated in an increasing series of alcohol (70, 80, 95 and 100%), diaphonized in xylol and embedded in paraffin blocks. The blocks were then sliced into histological sections of 6 mm in thickness. These were stained using Harris hematoxylin, as described by Behmer et al. (1976). The microscopic analyses were documented and the best fields were photographed using an Olympus C-7070 Wide 2004 digital camera.
Lead acetate assays.The dissected samples from the lungs and kidneys of all the fetuses, which had been stored in a freezer at -22°C, were allowed to defrost at room temperature. Following this, the samples were placed on watch glasses that were numbered with identification codes corresponding to information on the respective samples that had been entered in a registration book. The moist weight of the samples used was then ascertained. Next, the total unfractioned masses of the samples were transferred to coded porcelain capsules and placed in a heated chamber with circulating renewed air at 60C for a 24-hours period, in order to dehydrate the samples (Rayment & Barry, 2000).
After 24 hours in the heated chamber, the samples were removed and fractioned with the aid of porcelain pestle and mortar, so that the mass used in the digestion could be better removed afterwards (around 500 mg). The material was packed in numbered plastic bags. Each sample was weighed in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) reactor vessels. After this step, pumps were connected to the reactor domes to introduce 10 ml of 65% nitric acid. The reactor vessels were then sealed and placed in the digester block for around two hours. After this, the pumps were removed from the digester block and the reactor domes were cooled. The resultant solution was transferred to a volumetric flask and ultra-pure water was added to make up the volume to 50 ml. The lead concentration was measured in an atomic absorption spectrophotometer with deuterium background corrector and the equivalence in terms of lead acetate concentration absorbed in the organs was determined (Rayment & Barry).
Statistical analysis. The results from the experiments were expressed as means ± standard error of the mean and were subjected to the parametric Student's t test after verifying that the data presented normal distribution. The GraphPad Prism® computer software (GraphPad Software, Inc., USA) was used for performing the analyses.
The present study was approved by the institution's ethics committee for animal research, under protocol number 24/2009, of April 16, 2009.
Macroscopic changes in relation to the control animals (Fig. 1a) were observed in all the lungs of fetuses from the female rats that were treated with lead acetate, at all the concentrations used. These changes occurred in relation to the shape, color and consistency of the lungs (Fig. 1b, c, d and e). Figure 1c shows the lead-impregnated pulmonary bronchial tree of a fetus that received lead acetate at the concentration of 12.5 mg/kg of body weight. On the other hand, macroscopic changes were only observed in the kidneys with the use of lead acetate at the concentration of 50.0 mg/kg of body weight (Fig. 1f).

At microscopic level, in comparison with the control animals (Fig. 2a), destructuring of the parenchyma was observed in the lungs of the fetuses from the female rats that received lead acetate solution, with formation of fibrosis (Fig. 2b), presence of acetate impregnation in the parenchyma and extravasation of vascular fluids in the fetuses treated with concentrations of 12.5 mg/kg and 25.0 mg/kg of body weight (Fig. 2c, d and e). In the fetuses from the female rats that received treatment with a lead acetate concentration of 50.0 mg/kg of body weight, similar changes were observed but at a greater degree of intensity, diminished alveolar spaces and presence of alveolar edema (Figs. 2f and g).

concentration of 50.0 mg/kg, presenting glomerular atrophy (red arrow), degeneration of glomerulus (blue arrow)
and normal glomeruli (black arrow).
In the kidneys, the use of lead acetate at concentrations of 12.5 mg/kg and 25.0 mg/kg of body weight produced disordering of the renal structure, especially the glomerular complex, and impregnation of lead acetate granules in perirenal structures (Figs. 2h, i and j), in comparison with the control animals (Fig. 2h). At a concentration of 50.0 mg/kg of body weight, the appearance of the microscopic renal changes was compatible with irreversible damage, characterized by the presence of sclerosis, glomerular atrophy and progressive interstitial fibrosis. Inclusion bodies containing lead acetate were few in number or absent (Figs. 2: l and m), like those found in the fetuses from female rats that were treated with acetate at a concentration of 25.0 mg/kg of body weight.
The rate of lead acetate absorption determined through atomic absorption spectrophotometry was seen to increase because of greater exposure of the fetuses to the different concentrations of lead acetate. Fig. 3 presents the lead acetate absorption levels for the kidneys and lungs, in relation to the concentrations of this heavy metal that were used. These findings reveal that the absorption of lead in the kidneys was significantly greater than in the lungs, with p < 0.0001 for the parametric Student's t test.

fetuses from female Wistar rats. *, p < 0.0001 versus same exposure dose in the lung.
Macroscopic changes were constantly found in the kidneys and lungs of the fetuses from the female rats treated with lead acetate. Stewart (1999) reported that the mean time for which lead remains in soft tissues is approximately 40 days. In the experiment of the present study, our supposition is that this length of time was sufficient for the lead to have containing lead acetate and glomerular sclerosis, were similar to the findings reported by Mortada et al. and Moreira & Moreira. However, differing from those authors, we found microscopic lesions in the kidneys at all concentrations of lead acetate use, and the lesions became worse in direct relation to the acetate concentration. However, macroscopic lesions in the kidneys were only evident at an acetate concentration of 50 mg/kg of body weight. We emphasize that glomerular atrophy lesions did not have a homogenous appearance within the same cross-sectional level.
Gomes (2002) correlated cardiopulmonary death with the toxic action of lead. Lead absorption and poisoning through the airway has been much discussed. However, we did not find any studies analyzing the effect of lead absorption across the placenta, in organs such as the kidneys and lungs. The microscopic lesions found at lung level seemed to lead gradually towards a physiopathological condition in which the gas exchanges needed to maintain life became impossible.
The absorption rates determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry were directly correlated with higher fetal exposure to lead acetate concentrations and with the type and degree of structural changes to each organ under examination. The kidneys had higher lead absorption rates than the rates seen in the lungs. This appears to be fully compatible with the physiological functions. Morgan & Rhea (1991) highlighted that the kidneys, along with the nervous system and the bone marrow, are critical organs with regard to sensitivity to lead poisoning. In light of the results obtained through macro and microscopic analyses, we can conclude that exposure to lead acetate during pregnancy led to accumulation of this heavy metal in vital organs such as the lungs and kidneys of fetuses from female Wistar rats. We hope that these results may provide a contribution towards understanding the lesions that lead can produce, starting from fetal age.
Crossed the placental barrier at high enough concentrations to produce the observed macro and microscopic changes in these organs.
The kidneys excrete lead in two ways: glomerular filtration and transtubular secretion. However, Henretig (2002) reported that 65 to 70% of the lead absorbed would be eliminated through these routes and the remainder through the biliary route. According to Saryan & Zenz (1994), the toxic effects of lead on the kidneys occur in the presence of relatively high levels of lead and can be mainly divided into reversible renal tubular dysfunction and irreversible interstitial nephropathy.
This occurred in kidneys in which macroscopic changes were only detected at a concentration of 50 mg/kg of body weight. Alessio & Foà (1983) and Mortada et al. (2001) highlighted that the kidneys, along with the nervous system and the bone marrow, are critical organs with regard to sensitivity to lead poisoning. They also highlighted that chronic exposure of the kidneys can be characterized by the presence of vascular sclerosis, atrophy or hyperplasia of tubular cells, progressive interstitial fibrosis, absence or rare inclusion bodies and glomerular sclerosis.
In the present study, the microscopic lesions found in the kidneys, such as vascular sclerosis, cell atrophy or hyperplasia, progressive interstitial fibrosis, inclusion bodies
