Real Stories from Real Students
Satisfied & Successful AHIT Students
AHIT is proud of our positive reputation among our past students. We enjoy a long history of successfully launching home inspection careers across the country. We frequently hear from past students who are thrilled they decided to pursue a home inspection career and are more than willing to share their positive AHIT experience.
View these PDF articles for more examples of others successfully launching home inspection careers with AHIT.
Just wanted to say that the field and tech support that is offered from AHIT is the best I have ever had. Questions are answered in a timely manner and with the attitude that they are proud and happy to be there and to be able to help. You and your staff are the best.
Your people are unbelievable. My instructor Steve O'Donnell was fantastic! The phone support from Jim, France, Vince and the rest is everything I hoped for.
Thank you for the promptness in returning my diploma to me ...What a rush I got, when I opened the envelope to find my credentials inside. This is such an accomplishment for me and my family. This has opened up a whole new outlook on my financial future ... In the very near future, we will no longer be reliant on someone else to provide a job or a sustainable future. I am so happy over this new, exciting and challenging career.
I just wanted to thank everyone at AHIT. The Inspection training course gave me the knowledge and confidence to become a successful home inspector. After completing the course I applied with FEMA. I now travel the World to Presidentially Declared Disaster areas and inspect homes that have been damaged or destroyed. I was recently deployed to Louisiana to inspect homes damaged by hurricane Katrina. I love the work I do and owe it all to AHIT. Thank You and keep up the good work.
I would highly recommend this class to anyone I know wanting to become an inspector especially if Mike is the instructor.
I have been fortunate to attend many professional seminars. This class is without question one of the most effective that I have attended. Student involvement was strongly encouraged and exercised.
This class covered everything. I got every penny worth, and then some!
On Saturday, the 19th of August I passed the Texas Exam for Home Inspectors. I want to thank you for providing me with great information and support.
Glad I picked AHIT. I was apprehensive going into this but Joe erased all doubts. Instructor instilled confidence and was very informative. Your capability to acquire and retain instructors of this quality speak for itself. I definitely picked the right company to train with. Thanks!
I am forty years old. I have been through a lot of 1 week classes. This was the "best" class I have ever had. AHIT hit the lottery when Mike joined their team. I like the hands on part mixed with the classroom instruction... This is money well spent.
I have been in construction my whole life and have been a supervisor for both commercial and residential jobs. I must tell you about my experience with your company AHIT.
From the first day when I called and spoke to Matt, it was a pleasure dealing with good people. I have worked with a number of people in your company, and I must say everyone I spoke with was professional. Vince, Chris, and the rest of the office crew deserves a BIG round of applause. My experience in the class room was absolutely fantastic! I had the pleasure of meeting Joe Dudek, a very fine and knowledgeable trainer. He did a great job! He knows his product very well and taught with integrity and enthusiasm.
I have been a builder for over 25 years and learned a lot from him. Please pass along my heart felt thank you to him. The other trainer was Kerry Lancaster. He brought into the class a good solid knowledgeable Christian attitude that meant a lot to me and the people there. I had entered the class because I wanted a heads up in the home inspection field. I have started a church down here in Georgia and the only income I have now is my home inspection company. I feel that I am very well equipped to do my job right.
Thank you for building a company that cares and for taking the extra step to hire all the right people. My prayers for you and your company will never cease.
I have just completed the 7 day home inspection course and would like to say what a pleasure it was to attend the session with instructor Charles Gravely. Charles conducted the course with charm and wit, coupled with an obvious technical mastery and attention to detail. No stone was left unturned and no question left unanswered. The marketing segment with guest speaker Duncan Hannay was equally as good with a lot of valuable marketing insight. I would have no problem recommending this course to anyone and, quite frankly, don't see how anyone could start this business without this kind of mentoring.
We just had our home inspected in Great Falls< >Mt. by one of your AHIT graduates. His thorough method of going over our house with a fine tooth comb was outstanding. His great attitude and overwhelming accumulation of knowledge regarding absolutely everything about our home was like nothing we had ever seen. Needless to say he received extremely valuable training at your Institute and was proud to tell us many commendable qualities about your organization. He is First Class all the way. If you have an opportunity please let him know how we appreciate his Expert abilities. We thanked him, however we feel he deserves a commendation from a higher authority and we think his trainers should know the caliber of graduates you are sending out into the field. Thank you very much.
I wanted to change my career, but I didn't know what to do or how to do it. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to do it, but now I'm able to quit my job because I'm so busy with inspections. Thanks AHIT!
There are a lot of training programs for home inspectors, but I don't see how any program could be better than AHIT's. I have over 10 years of construction experience and I was astonished at how much new information there was for me to learn.
After passing the National Home Inspectors Exam on the first try my proctor told me, "You should be proud of yourself." The personal confidence and pride will go a long way. I need to thank AHIT for that!
If a person is serious about becoming a home inspector and passing their state or national exam, I can't imagine where they could get any better training than AHIT!
We didn't have any home inspection experience whatsoever before we attended AHIT's course. They taught us how to perform home inspections and provided us with the tools, the foundation and the support to build our company.
American Home Inspectors Training has been there every step of the way. I could not have made it to over one hundred inspections a month without them.
This seminar and handout rate at the top of seminars I have attended in 25 years.
I feel you covered an incredible amount of information. I was very impressed with this seminar and your professionalism.
A must for anyone considering entering this profession.
I feel I have spent my money wisely. I have been to many seminars— yours is truly the best.
This type of quality training program could only be put together by people like you who have lived and really worked in this business. If a person is serious about becoming a home inspector, I can't imagine where they could get any better training.
Thank you for all your support and help. All your advice has proven to be a positive for our business.
Thank you for an outstanding week of professional training. I can't imagine anyone ever thinking of going into this business without attending your school.
Thank you for the continued support. It is nice to know I can count on you all when I need my questions answered.
Coming into class I inspected 5,000 to 7,000 houses as an insurance adjuster and real estate appraiser. The past week's education and textbooks has doubled or tripled my knowledge. The marketing session will make it happen!

AMG GT Roadster
7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT
AMG GT C Roadster
Outrun the sun.
If the Mercedes-AMG GT is a reinvention of the pure sports car, there's only one way to make it even purer: Open it up. With the new GT Roadsters, the handcrafted AMG performance that's born on the track has been unleashed into an open sky.
In an old mill in 1967, two automotive engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, AMG continues to create victory on the track and desire on the streets of the world. Every Mercedes-AMG vehicle is the product of craftsmen, designers and engineers who live to test limits, and for a singular goal: Driving Performance.
A Mercedes-AMG engine only starts with the state of the art. From there, everything from fuel pressure to exhaust routing is developed to quicken, heighten and intensify its response, and yours. Developed for AMG's racecars, patented NANOSLIDE cylinder walls cut friction, raising endurance and power.
Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8s place their twin turbos between their banks for quicker response. Dry sump design moves their oil supply aside, for lower engine mounting. In the 469-hp AMG GT, 100 km/h arrives in 4.0 seconds. In the 550-hp AMG GT C, just 3.7 seconds. [1]
Forged aluminum dominates the 4-wheel double-wishbone suspension. Coil-overs at the rear are hub-mounted for extreme precision. The GT C adds active rear-axle steering and AMG RIDE CONTROL with 3-stage damping. AMG DYNAMIC SELECT lets you dial in the throttle, shifting, chassis, exhaust and more.
The AMG GT C's available AMG Track Package flexes its muscle freely. Dynamic engine and transaxle mounts use electromagnetic fluid that stiffens progressively, to keep handling precise during aggressive moves. The thick steering wheel is fully wrapped in grippy DINAMICA microsuede.
The 7-speed, multimode AMG SPEEDSHIFT® DCT transaxle is rear-mounted, to help create an ideal 46:54 front/rear balance. A carbon-fibre driveshaft links it to the front-mid-mounted V8. Lightning-quick shifts, a limited-slip differential and torque vectoring precisely send power to pavement.
Top up or down, the long-hood proportions express the purity of a roadster with a clarity of purpose. From the Panamericana grille to an active rear spoiler, airflow under, over and into the body is managed with strategic brilliance. Every element contributes to performance, and conspires to seduce.
It takes just 11 seconds to change the AMG GT from a closed, composed coupe into an all-out open-air super sports car. Tailored from three layers and available in three colors, the soft top powers up or down even at speeds up to 50 km/h. A see-through wind deflector helps keep the open cabin calm.
Sculpted AMG Performance seats combine sporting support with enduring comfort. Performance controls fall readily to hand, arrayed in a V on the wide console. A spectrum of cabin appointments, wheel choices, paint hues and styling packages let you make a powerful personal statement.
From its aluminum spaceframe to its polymer/carbon-fibre decklid, the AMG GT Roadster is built to maximize performance by minimizing mass. Its onboard technology responds accordingly, from quick-thinking controls for the running gear to advanced cabin tech that keeps you connected and in control.
A fingertip touchpad and sleek yet sizable 8.4″ screen deliver entertainment, navigation and more with animated displays and intuitive menus. Another screen between the crisp analog gauges offers exclusive AMG readouts so you can keep an eye on turbo boost, oil temperature, speed and gear selection.
With a sonorous exhaust note you can unleash at the touch of a button, you're going to want to drive top-down as often as possible. Along with heated seats, standard AIRSCARF can envelop your neck and shoulders in warmed air, turning a cool evening into the perfect time for an open-air drive.
The car's spaceframe achieves high torsional and longitudinal rigidity with exceptionally low weight. Engineered from the outset as a roadster, there's no weight penalty over the GT coupe. Aluminum makes up 98% of the body and frame by weight, along with magnesium, carbon fibre and advanced polymers.
Radar-based Active Brake Assist can help you avoid some frontal collisions, and can even initiate braking. ATTENTION ASSIST can help sense a drowsy driver. A rear view camera, Parking Assist PARKTRONIC and Blind Spot Assist help smooth your moves from the driveway to the highway.[2]

1 Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer's track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.
2 Active Brake Assist may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It does not react to certain stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver's responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system's alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. See Operator's Manual for system's operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
ATTENTION ASSIST may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
Blind Spot Assist is a warning system only, and may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It should not be used as a substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions.
Rearview camera does not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and is not a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may be limited by camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the presence of dirt, ice or snow on the camera.

Today (November 19th, 2013) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed marketing of four diagnostic devices that can be used for high throughput gene sequencing, often referred to as "next generation sequencing" (NGS). These instruments, reagents, and test systems allow labs to sequence a patient's DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
The new technology also gives physicians the ability to take a broader look at their patients' genetic makeup and can help in diagnosing disease or identifying the cause of symptoms.
"NGS is changing the way we look at genomics," said Alberto Gutierrez, Ph.D., director of the Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health in FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. "Before NGS, sequencing genes associated with a particular disease was a long and costly process. Today, we have the capability to read and interpret large segments of DNA very quickly in a single test and this information-rich technology is becoming more accessible for use by physicians in the care of their patients."
Two of the newly cleared devices are used to detect DNA changes in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which can result in cystic fibrosis (CF), an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, and other organs of those who inherit a faulty CFTR gene from both parents.
More than 10 million Americans are CF carriers and approximately 30,000 children and adults in the U.S. are affected with CF. Most children with CF are diagnosed by age 2 and the average life span for people with CF who live to adulthood is approximately 37 years.
The cleared devices include:
- The Illumina MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis 139-Variant Assay, which checks specific points in the patient's CFTR gene sequence to detect known variants in the gene. Information about which DNA changes are associated with symptoms of cystic fibrosis is found in the Clinical and Functional TRanslation of CFTR database (CFTR2).
- The Illumina MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Sequencing Assay, which sequences a large portion of the CFTR gene to detect any difference in the CFTR gene compared to a reference CFTR gene.
Data submitted by Illumina for their cystic fibrosis tests included comparisons of the sequence results to Human Genome Build 19, a reference representation of the human genome. In addition, Illumina evaluated the performance of its instrument and reagent systems against a publically available quality-weighted human reference genome that was created through collaboration between the FDA and the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST).
FDA authorized sequencing devices provide labs with quality and performance information
The FDA also granted de novo petitions for the Illumina MiSeqDx instrument platform and the Illumina Universal Kit reagents, two devices that make up the first FDA-regulated test system that allows laboratories to develop and validate sequencing of any part of a patient's genome. The Universal Kit reagents isolate and create copies of genes of interest obtained from patient blood samples, and the MiSeqDx platform analyzes the genes. The software compares the patient's genomic sequence to a reference sequence and reports back any differences between the patient and the reference.
"The FDA's review of the MiSeqDx and sequencer and Universal Kit reagents provides clinical laboratories with information about the expected performance of the device and the quality of the results," said Dr. Gutierrez. "This information was not previously available for next generation sequencers, and, with this platform, labs can develop tests for clinical use with greater confidence because they use FDA authorized devices."
The FDA reviewed the Illumina MiSeqDx instrument platform and the Illumina Universal Kit reagents through its de novo classification process, a regulatory pathway for some novel low-to-moderate risk medical devices that are not substantially equivalent to an already legally marketed device.
For the de novo petitions, the FDA based its decision on the demonstrated performance of the MiSeqDx instrument and Universal Kit reagent systems across numerous genomic segments spanning 19 human chromosomes.
Illumina MiSeqDx instrument platform, Universal Kit reagents, MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis 139-Variant Assay, and MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Sequencing Assay are manufactured by Illumina, Inc. in San Diego, Calif.

Benihana - Dulles

It's was ok.
Birthday was great
I ordered Filet and lobster and only got filet. The chef was junior.
Would i recommend maybe yes or no. Yes, the food is good but expensive. No, because Our chef got confused. She almost went to the table behind us who just arrived. She's not as friendly at the other chef's I met in a different restaurant. She did an ok job doing a cooking presentation to our kids. Even if she barely talk to us. I don't think she cooked that much rice compare to the other places we have been. She also got confused once. She gave my extra shrimp of my order to my husband. I didn't even noticed it. My husband did & he had to check the menu on his phone to double check. We just switch plates. She did say sorry for getting confused where to put what food. Our little girls did enjoy their ice cream for dessert.
We love the "Show" and fresh food. The Chef was great and prepared everything pretty fast. The waitress was a bit slow and not very attentive.
Went for my sons birthday,they gave my 4 year old daughter a broken pencil to color with because they didn't have crayons. I ordered a Chardonnay server came back with red wine and when I told her it was wrong she proceeds to tell me it was because I didn't specify.. regardless if I hadn't specify it was not a Chardonnay it was red wine... she sang happy birthday to my son and forgot to light the candle and we couldn't tell her because she was just rushing through the song.. she took a picture of us only to have another server tell her the printer was broken... the atmosphere is dead in there very boring.. the food was excellent no complaints on that. The server was terrible.
We went for a birthday celebration and within minutes were greeted by rude and aloof management. Making a reservation is not necessary; you'll be kept waiting with no communication regardless. At the end of the day, Customer service counts and bad customer service can ruin a dining experience.
Awesome!!!!!! It's a really nice place to celebrate
This was our first visit to the Dulles Town Center location (since in the past we frequented the Bethesda location) and DTC Benihana did not disappoint! We had an enjoyable meal for my son's birthday and the service was spot on! We look forward to going back to this location again!
Average and kinda pricy for lunch
Food was not good and overpriced.
dirty tables, extremely slow service, a waiter who seemed like he just rolled out of bed, orders wrong, and none of the typical fun of a japanese steakhouse experience. overall - just terrible
We went to celebrate our son's birthday. That was on our reservation and we also told our server about it. And our 4 year old son made sure he told everyone about it. That was the last we heard anyone mention his special day. Our chef was ok, but for the prices we paid, we expected much better. The preparation is part of the meal, part of the spectacle. Very blah. Food was a little overcooked all the way around. Our server was MIA for most of the meal. Getting refills wasn't easy. Had to ask another server. They charged for fried rice. Another (better) local hibachi place doesn't charge for that so that caught us offguard. And to cap it off, on a birthday dinner, they forgot to give our kids desserts (included on kid's meals). Disappointing. I think the old Benihana name and reputation would stick out. Turns out that was well in the oast. Definitely not recommended.
Our chef Jonathan was wonderful, talented and a great cook. Jack our server was helpful as well.
The hibachi chef was not very exciting to watch as I would usually expect at hibachi restaurants. It was also extremely over priced for service I could've gotten elsewhere with the same quality of food and better service.
The cook made good food, but the performance was a little weird.
Our family enjoys celebrating birthdays at Benihana. Unfortunately, the experience hasn't been a consistent one. Either the Chef doesn't provide a detailed performance, or a family photo isn't taken when on other birthdays it has, or the guest of honor doesn't receive their birthday treat and song. The food is excellent, the atmosphere fun, and we will continue to celebrate. There was just some lack of consistency in our experiences lately.
Wonderful experience for my dinner
Birthday Dinner
Servers could definitely be nicer!
Food was excellent but service was rushed and not very good. Server brought salad once chef had already started cooking show. Then brought dessert while we were still eating our main course. Cleared drinks that we had not finished yet and then came back twice asking if we were done with the check yet. Very unprofessional and made us feel like he couldn't wait for us to leave.
Our cook was very nervous and very unsure of the orders. I believe this somehow slowed down the meal being prepared in a timely manner. My meal was filet and shrimp. The shrimp were prepared last which is fine however the cook was confused and apparently thought she had cooked too much shrimp. So she put the 'extra' cooked shrimp in a bowl and wasn't going to serve them to me. I had to ask for the shrimp because they were part of my order. She still seemed reluctant to give them to me and had to be coaxed by the entire table to give me the shrimp I ordered. It was, to say the least, very weird. The food was prepared fairly well, just much slower than we are accustomed to at Benihana's.
Wait went 60 past reservation time. Food was delicious. Service felt as if we were bothering the waitress and she was doing us a favor.
Husbands promotion.
Always a good spot for a special meal. We came at an off time to avoid the rush. But service was bad (lots of mistakes in the otder) and the food just didnt taste as good as usual.
Service was awful. Waited 30 minutes for drink orders to be taken. Refills never came .. to forever to get forks. For the cost not worth it!
I like the Benihana, but seems that service is usually slow. This time around, our service was extremely slow. She may have been new. She did not know the menu very well. Friend ordered one brand of beer and received another brand and style. He wasn't told that the beer he wanted was out of stock. My beer was out of stock too, but I was told that. I also ordered an iced tea and had to ask 3 times for it. My wife did not order dessert, but she was given a dessert anyway. The server forgot to turn the heat up on the grill. That delayed the meal. I hope the service improves.
Food was really good and our showman, Jonathan, performed wonderfully. He tested the grill before cooking and realized that it was not hot enough. He apologized and said that we will be delayed 5 to 10 minutes. The manager came to apologize too.
We love Benihana! Our last two trips we have had Sandra...who is fabulous. Thank you for always providing good food, an enjoyable atmosphere and friendly staff.
Celebrating early Father's Day. Sushi was really fresh, we got three different kinds of. Our daughter got a lunch boat and we got hibiscus tea, very refreshing. Green tea ice cream for dessert. Not too crowded, just right.
No, hope to try another one in future - maybe. The service was really bad.
The table service was awful. The waitress hardly came to the table. It took forever for our drinks and the check.
Service was very slow and we had to keep asking for certain items we ordered.
Summary - Waiter was missing most of the evening, food was not fresh, fish was smelly, bathroom was filthy.
Server was terrible. The chef was just ok. Not very enthusiastic. Not worth the expense.
We've been to this Benihana's a few times, this go around we celebrated our son's birthday. Great food and entertaining watching the chef dice and cook the food in front of us. I thought the amount of food served was slightly less than in the past. My son had a blast and we'll definitely go again!
We were celebrating a birthday with friends. The server was great. Attentive. Picked up dirty dishes quickly and refilled drinks. The table chef was funny and did fun tricks.
They were completely under staffed. And nothing felt authentic. Even though they were slow everything was rushed! It took 45 minutes once seated to get our salads. I mentioned it was my sons birthday, but they did nothing special. We will not be dining there again.
Overall fun experience, especially for kids.
The food is great and our chef Jonathon was amazing. However, the table service wasn't great and the meals are way too expensive for what you get.
This was not the experience I was looking for. The food was good, however, the portions were not good at all for the price we paid. Our waiter was horrible. He got some of our order wrong and was simply not we expected for this restaurant. Will probably not be going back to this location. We have visited other Benihana restaurants and had far better experiences.

AlexanderT necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 95 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
We are a start-up company and have had no previous identities. The logo will be the brand feature of the company. We are looking for a logo that positively speaks to active, health-oriented people yet also reflects the medical/scientific foundation of the project. The logo is for our website and should be optimized for online view. It should contain the title and subtitle (I-Vita Personalized vitamins), be dynamic, positive, warm and professional.
We are working on a web-offering that makes it possible for people to receive personalized multivitamin capsules, based on a proprietary algorithm that takes into account medical and lifestyle data from the customers. We are very passionate about quality supplements and want to bring the level of personalization that is currently reserved for pro-athletes and hyper health-conscious people to the every dayeveryday consumer in a convenient way. For the website we are currently creating, we are now looking for a logo. It should roughly be 1.5 length X 1.0 height, designed to be in the top-right left corner of the screen in front of background with varying colors. Therefore, it should be designed not in front of a white or colored but a transparent background. This is very important. We want it to convey passion, an active lifestyle, health, warmth and happiness but also, and this is important as a differentiation, professionalism. In contrast to other vitamin shops out there, we are highly scientific and based on medical research.

Lol at MacGill on SBS last night, poor host, fumbling his lines every second sentence, was painful.
Lol at MacGill on SBS last night, poor host, fumbling his lines every second sentence, was painful.
Enjoying TMS guiding me through this test, will miss it when I get Sky from the second test onwards. Boycott still irritates after about 5 minuites and old Blowers is more confused than ever but overall it is still of an excellent standard, especially Agnew and Vic Marks who are comfortably my to favourite commentators. Also very much enjoyed Ian Chappell's refusal to comment on the tea time guest, a certain former Australian prime minister.
Boycott these days rarely if ever gets beyond
"You'd love to be out there batting against this attack"
which means "I would love to be out there batting against this attack"
which means "I would score hundreds every time against this attack and modern Test attacks generally come to think of it, particularly on featherbeds like this"
which means "my batting average of 47.729412 translates into at least 65 in today's money"
which means "me me me me me me me me"
which means his contract should be terminated forthwith.
Relatively self-absorbed though Boycott may be, and irritating though virtually any sort of monotony (from he or anyone else) may be, he's not wrong. Though I think 65 is exaggerating it a little.

Nah, I just think people overstate it with decent regularity.
TMS pisses me off with its self-importance. They ran a build-up to the Ashes on BBC Interactive entitled "TMS's classic moments". There was no cricket involved. It was all about wonderful lines by commentators and memorable expressions and smarmy little bits of humour where they all chortled heartily. The runs, wickets, drama, players- the actual cricket is all now secondary to promoting their own status.
Boycs was on Radio 5 a second ago and gave an absolutely classic demonstration of his modus operandi of self-absorption.
Mark Saggers asked him, apropos of Punter's century, "So, Geoffrey, is Ricky Ponting the greatest batsman since Don Bradman?"
Boycs [emphatically] "No."
Long pause (clearly relished by Boycs for its dramatic effect).
Saggers: "So who is then?"
Boycs: "Greg Chappell. People forget that in Greg Chappell's day there were very fine fast bowlers, and there aren't many of them around now. Where are the likes of Holding, Roberts, Garner, Croft, Lillee and Thomson?" He then went on about how batting averages now are cheap compared with the past.
You might think this was a genuinely objective appraisal of Greg Chappell or at worst, a case of In-My-Dayism. But it went a bit further than that. The reference to Lillee and Thomson, who Greg Chappell obviously never faced in Tests, was particularly telling. Because of course Sir Geoffrey's thinly-veiled point was, as always, that the bowlers that he (not Greg Chappell) had to face were better than the bowlers around now.
Once you tune into what Boycs is trying to do, just about everything he says can be traced back to self-aggrandisement. It's not surprising, given that this was precisely the sort of mindset that enabled him to score vast numbers of runs, and he's now in an After-The-Lord-Mayor's-Show job and is struggling to come to terms with the fact that he's no longer a player, and he senses people forgetting how good he was. But it sure as hell grates for the listener.

Saggers should have asked Boycs where he was in 74/75 - I bet Bumble would have!
Really tired of BJ laughing and grinning any time the studio commenatators back here in Aus make a comment back to he, Border and Blewett. Any sort of a comment, and he has this fake 'I'm so jovial' chuckle, as he bows his head in laughter. Really irritating.

Surely the Sky commentators blaming the scoreline at stumps yesterday on England's choice of ball will take some topping.

OpenLDAP, LDAP & Directory services are an enormous topic. Configuration is therefore complex. This page is a starting point for a basic openldap install on Archlinux and a sanity check.
If you are totally new to those concepts, here is an good introduction that is easy to understand and that will get you started, even if you are new to everything LDAP.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Next Steps
- 4 Troubleshooting
- 5 See Also
This part is easy:
pacman -S openldap
The openldap package basically contains two things: The LDAP server (slapd) and the LDAP client. You will probably want to run the server on your computer. After you design the directory, the server will be able to provide authentication services for LDAP clients. It is quite likely that you will run services requiring the LDAP authentication on that very computer, in which case the LDAP client will query the LDAP server from the same package.
The server (slapd)
First prepare the database directory. You will need to copy the default config file and set the proper ownership.
rm -rf /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/* cp /etc/openldap/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG
Next we prepare slapd.conf. Add some typically used schemas...
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
Edit the suffix. Typically this is your domain name but it does not have to be. It depends on how you use your directory. We will use 'example' for the domain name, and 'com' for the tld. Also set your ldap administrators name (we'll use 'root' here)
suffix "dc=example,dc=com" rootdn "cn=root,dc=example,dc=com"
Now we delete the default root password and create a strong one:
#find the line with rootpw and delete it sed -i "/rootpw/ d" slapd.conf #add a line which includes the hashed password output from slappasswd echo "rootpw $(slappasswd)" >> slapd.conf
ldap won't find things unless you index them. Read the ldap documentation for details, you can use the following to start with. (add them to your
index uid pres,eq index mail pres,sub,eq index cn pres,sub,eq index sn pres,sub,eq index dc eq
Don't forget to run
slapindex after you populate your directory. (slapd needs to be stopped to do this). Then change the ownership for all the generated files:
chown ldap.ldap /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/*
If you want to use SSL, you have to specify a path to your certificates here. See OpenLDAP Authentication
Finally you can start the slapd daemon.
#systemctl start slapd
It might be possible that /run/openldap does not exist, starting the daemon won't work. Just create the directory:
#mkdir /run/openldap
Very important, you define here on which port the server should listen and if you want to use SSL, you will want to use the ldaps:// URI instead of the default ldap:// You can also specify additional slapd options here.
The client
The client is usually not such a big deal, just keep in mind that your apps that require LDAP auth use it, so if something goes wrong with LDAP, do not waste your time with the app, start debugging the client instead.
The client config file is located at /etc/openldap/ldap.conf It is actually very simple.
If you decide to use SSL:
- The protocol (ldap or ldaps) in the URI entry has to conform with the slapd configuration
- If you decide to use self-signed certificates, you have to add them to TLS_CACERT
Test your new OpenLDAP installation
This is easy, just run the command below:
ldapsearch -x -b -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
you should see some information on your database.
OpenLDAP over TLS
If you access the Openldap server over the network and especially if you have sensitive data stored on the server you run the risk of someone sniffing you date which are sent cleartext. The next part will guide you on how to setup an SSL connection between the LDAP server and the client so the data will be sent encrypted.
In order to use TLS, we must first create a certificate. You can have a certificate signed, or create your own Certificate Authority (CA), but for our purposed, a self-signed certificate will suffice.
Create a self-signed certificate
To create a self-signed certificate, type the following:
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out slapdcert.pem -keyout slapdkey.pem -days 365
You will be prompted for information about your ldap server. Much of the information can be left blank. The most important information is the common name. This must be set to the DNS name of your ldap server. If your LDAP server's IP address resolves to example.org but its server certificate shows a CN of bad.example.org, LDAP clients will reject the certificate and will be unable to negotiate TLS connections (apparently the results are wholly unpredictable).
Now that the certificate files have been created copy them to
/etc/openldap/ssl/ (if this directory doesn't exist create it) and secure them. IMPORTANT: slapdcert.pem must be world readable because it contains the public key. slapdkey.pem on the other hand should only be readable for the ldap user for security reasons:
cp slapdcert.pem slapdkey.pem /etc/openldap/ssl/ chown ldap slapdkey.pem chmod 400 slapdkey.pem chmod 444 slapdcert.pem
Configure slapd for SSL
Edit the daemon configuration file (
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf) to tell LDAP where the certificate files reside by adding the following lines:
# Certificate/SSL Section TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2 TLSCertificateFile /etc/openldap/ssl/slapdcert.pem TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/openldap/ssl/slapdkey.pem
The TLSCipherSuite specifies a list of OpenSSL ciphers from which slapd will choose when negotiating TLS connections, in decreasing order of preference. In addition to those specific ciphers, you can use any of the wildcards supported by OpenSSL. NOTE: HIGH, MEDIUM, and +SSLv2 are all wildcards.
Start slapd with SSL
In order to tell OpenLDAP to start using encryption, edit /etc/conf.d/slapd, uncomment the SLAPD_SERVICES line and set it to the following:
Localhost connections don't need to use SSL so you can use this instead:
SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap://127.0.0.1 ldaps:///:
IMPORTANT: If you created a self-signed certificate above be sure to add the following line to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf or you won't be able connect to the server to test it:
TLS_REQCERT allow
Finally restart the server.
Next Steps
You now have a basic ldap installation. The step is to design your directory. The design is heavily dependent on what you are using it for. If you are new to ldap, consider starting with a directory design recommended by the specific client services that will use the directory (PAM, Postfix, etc).
A directory for system authentication is the LDAP Authentication article.
If you notice that slapd seems to start but then stops, you may have a permission issue with the ldap datadir. Try running:
# chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/*
to allow slapd write access to its data directory as the user "ldap"

Pujols leaves club to have ailing foot examined
OAKLAND -- Albert Pujols was out of the Angels' lineup and back in Southern California for Saturday's game against the Athletics, having his nagging left foot evaluated after aggravating it during Friday night's ninth-inning at-bat.

OAKLAND -- Albert Pujols was out of the Angels' lineup and back in Southern California for Saturday's game against the Athletics, having his nagging left foot evaluated after aggravating it during Friday night's ninth-inning at-bat.
Asked if Pujols' absence will extend longer than a day, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said: "We'll see."View Full Game Coverage
In Pujols' place, Mike Trout batted third for the first time in his career, and he may spend at least a few more days there.
"It's sorer than anything he's dealt with or he's been playing through," Scioscia said of Pujols. "We'll just see what happens."
The Angels hadn't received results of Pujols' MRI as of late Saturday afternoon, but outfielder Kole Calhoun was boarding a flight to Oakland to join the Angels because Pujols was likely to be placed on the disabled list. Calhoun, already on the 40-man roster, was batting .354 with 12 homers in Triple-A, and .583 over his last 10 games.
Pujols has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot all season, but until now, it had been manageable. The 33-year-old right-handed slugger had started 65 of his 99 games at designated hitter and found a way to produce despite obvious pain, posting a .258/.330/.437 slash line with 17 homers and 64 RBIs.
Pujols has gone 12-for-34 with a couple of homers since the four-day All-Star break, but he said prior to Friday's game that the foot feels "the same," adding: "I still feel some pain. I still feel it bothering me a bit. That's something that in the offseason, with time and with rest, hopefully the pain can go away."
Then, with two outs in the ninth inning against Grant Balfour, Pujols ripped a liner down the left-field line to plate two runs, but he got only a single out of it and signaled towards the dugout to be replaced by a pinch-runner.
Plantar fasciitis manifests when the ligament that supports the arch of the foot is strained, causing pain when walking or standing. Pujols has dealt with spurts of the ailment for most of his career, but it's been prolonged and severely worse in 2013.
A common occurrence among athletes dealing with plantar fasciitis is that the inflamed ligament snaps, which eases the tension and eliminates the need for surgery. But that also sidelines them for a while, and for Pujols, a snapped ligament could potentially end his season.
The Angels will wait on word from team doctors before taking the next step.
"He's the foundation of your lineup and you want to build around him," Scioscia said of Pujols. "We'll shift Mike into the three-hole and see where Albert is."
Scioscia has long considered Trout an ideal No. 3 hitter long term, despite the fact he has game-changing speed and has spent the majority of his professional career in the leadoff spot. Trout batted leadoff during an historic rookie season in 2012 and has spent most of 2013 batting second, taking advantage of more opportunities with runners on base and posting a .324/.400/.564 slash line in 100 games.
Asked if he sees himself as a top-of-the-order hitter or a middle-of-the-order hitter, Trout said: "I don't know. Last year, my job was to be a leadoff hitter, and I'm just going to keep the same approach I've been having in the two-spot. I've been getting more opportunities to drive in more runs anyway in the two-spot and just look at it as an opportunity to drive in some more runs."

Located in the Library District, Café Medina is a purveyor of fine Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, connoisseur-savvy coffee and sweet sustenance via the city's best Belgian waffles.
Since opening in 2008, Café Medina has carved out a niche as a truly exceptional breakfast, lunch and weekend-brunch destination that effortlessly blends eclectic bistro fare, connoisseur-savvy coffee and sweet nourishment via the city's best Belgian waffles.
While the name Medina has many interpretations, it was selected for its connotation to "radiant or enlightened city". Indeed, this unique café quickly shone as one of the city's most stylish additions, thanks to owner Robbie Kane's pioneering attitude towards café culture and distinctive brand of enlightened hospitality — an ideal complement for the café's instantly memorable, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
Café Medina doesn't simply serve food — Kane and his staff pride themselves on feeding the soul of each and every guest and providing them with sustenance in every way, shape and form.
It's this signature Medina mystique that has made the café a Vancouver institution, and is the reason its guests keep returning again and again.
After six years in its original location in Crosstown, Café Medina moved to a bright and spacious new home at 780 Richards Street in Vancouver in August 2014. And while the café's new location boasts a number of upgrades, Kane has also gone to great lengths to migrate and preserve the same quaint touches, fine details and old-world charm that made the café such a beloved staple of the local restaurant scene in its former site.
The café's new quarters not only allow for increased seating capacity, an expanded bar, open kitchen, high ceilings and plenty of natural light, but also serve as an ideal evening venue for private functions and special events.

NEWTON, Kansas -- Joshua Lee defeated co-medalist Zane Thomas 1-up Wednesday in the first round of match play at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship at Sand Creek Station Golf Course.
Lee barely made the final 64 for match play, chipping in during a playoff for a spot on Tuesday. He didn't need extra holes against Thomas, clinching the victory with a two-putt from 30 feet on the 18th hole.
Six of the first seven matches were decided on the 18th hole.
Thomas led 2 up through 13 holes, but bogeys at 14 and 17, as well as a drive out of bounds on 16, ruined the 20-year-old Las Vegas resident's chances.
"Anybody out here can beat anyone else on a given day," said Lee, 19. "That's what made (Tuesday) so scary in the playoff, but it's what makes this championship so exciting."
The other three co-medalists won. Doug Ghim, of Arlington Heights, Illinois; Rico Hoey, Rancho Cucamonga, California; and Byron Meth of San Diego, never trailed during their wins Wednesday.
Other winners on Wednesday included 2013 APL medalist Garrett Rank of Canada; 2011 U.S. Junior Amateur runner-up Chelso Barrett of Surry, New Hampshire; and 43-year-olds Jon Veneziano of Mount Dora, Florida, and Jess Bonneau of Houston.
Defending champion Jordan Niebrugge, 52nd seed, beat Dou Zecheng of China, 4 and 2, in a rematch of their quarterfinal in 2013. Niebrugge made six birdies and no bogeys over 16 holes.
"I hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens and kept the pressure on him," said Niebrugge, 20, a junior at Oklahoma State. "That's how I want to play in match play."
The second and third rounds are scheduled for Thursday. The 36-hole final is set for Saturday.

Gov. Rick Snyder wants to lower Michigan drivers' auto insurance bills in exchange for the elimination of the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association and the unlimited lifetime medical coverage it provides for people seriously injured in auto accidents.
Under the governor's plan, unveiled Thursday during a press conference in Lansing, the average family's premiums could drop $250 a year.
Michigan has some of the highest auto insurance rates in the U.S. and is the only no-fault state out of 12 in the U.S. where motorists pay $175 per car per year to fund the coverage of catastrophic injuries for life.
With 99.5 percent of these medical costs staying under $1 million, Snyder said other forms of compensation and insurance were available that wouldn't require MCCA funding and the associated fee. Current policy mandates that insurance companies cover up to $500,000 in medical costs, with those exceeding that amount being reimbursed by the MCCA.
'This pack is geared toward managing the medical piece, the fraud piece and getting people to have more access to medical insurance,' Snyder said.
'The goal here is to help the consumer,' he added. 'In terms of the insurance industry, this is about good competition in the market place.'
While the MCCA would be dissolved, those already receiving benefits would not be affected under the plan.
Snyder proposes capping personal injury protection at $1 million, which he says is still much higher than in every other state.
Drivers also would be charged $25 a year to help fund Medicaid because a tax on health insurance claims isn't generating as much as anticipated.
Todd Berg, an auto accident attorney at Farmington Hills-based Michigan Auto Law, warned that the savings pushed for in reform attempts may not be set in stone.
'Never once in these bills where they're cutting no-fault do they guarantee savings to the consumer,' he said. 'There's not one word.'
He added that in the current economic climate, any promise of savings should be taken with a grain of salt.
'People are concerned,' he said. 'Times are tough; if people can save money in a meaningful way on their auto insurance, their ears are going to perk up.'

Thatcher funeral games
Why are we discussing the possibility of a State Funeral for Mrs Thatcher? Such things are not part of our historic treatment of the Heads of Government in the UK. And according to the political editor of the Daily Telegraph the innovation in this case risks insulting and belittling many patriotic citizens.
Peter Osborne wrote in his blog
Clem Attlee was deputy prime minister during the Second World War, and went on to lead the Labour government which founded the National Health Service and created the modern welfare state. He was mourned at a quiet funeral at Temple Church near Westminster. Harold Macmillan was put to rest at a small service near his Sussex home.
Such modesty does not suit our self-aggrandising modern politicians.
For my part I note that the idea of a State Funeral arose during the Premiership of Gordon Brown which was when the back-stage discussions started. I wonder if Brown had ulterior motives in this – making troubles for David Cameron for example.
Peter Osborne explains why the whole idea might backfire
On (December 20th) David Farham, a former miner, had a letter published in his local newspaper, The Shields Gazette. He wrote:
"I am proud to say I was on strike for 12 months in the 1984-5 strike, when Thatcher used the full might of [the] state to defeat us. I would stand on a picket line now if it would prevent her having a state funeral. She had a near-pathological hatred of trade unions, and referred to us as the 'enemy within', but what did we do that was so treacherous? We struck to prevent pit closures and protect jobs – with disastrous consequences. Look at the ghost towns of former pit villages which she left devastated."
Osborne says he takes the view that Thatcher was right to do what she did even with the consequences so dire. But
Mr Farham – who accurately states in his letter that there are "hundreds of thousands like me" – has every right to believe what he does. He is a British citizen just as much as the most ardent of Thatcher fans, with the proviso that, as a miner, he probably worked harder and risked more for his country than they did.
Yet the British Establishment is now planning to insult Mr Farham, and the many honest and patriotic people who agree with him, by making Lady Thatcher the first prime minister to be given a state funeral since Churchill. This cannot be right.
The whole of Osborne's piece and the blog comments re well worth reading in full.
This raises a question in my mind.
If the national extravaganza goes ahead the consequences look likely to be embittering rather than unifying. However if Cameron blocks this he is likely to worsen the animosity towards him held by the Tory True Believers who already despise his leadership. So which bullet will he bite?
Is it up to the LibDems to defuse this Labour inspired booby trap? And perhaps inspire a return to more modest profiles for our National Leaders? The job certainly needs doing or the UK will shuffle into a completely unnecessary bout of class war shouting which will damage our current efforts to stabilise the economy. Too may people will invest in heat and invective rather than reflection and constructive arguments over possible choices now before us..

Located down the right field line, Wrigley Field Rooftop Club is one of the closest rooftops to home plate, and even closer than some seats in the ballpark.

Picture windows in the bar just below the rooftop give you floor-to-ceiling views of Wrigley Field.
Located just left of the third-base line, this rooftop offers a unique view of Wrigley Field. Your vantage point gives you a clear site line to home plate and a sweeping view of the bleachers and historic scoreboard in centerfield.

Blizzard did not make many friends with its recent decision to force users to post with their real names in its official forums. The response was immediate and deafening, with pages and pages of users complaining bitterly about the new rule. One Blizzard employee posted his own name to prove the system's safety only to have his personal information, including address and phone number, posted on the forum. The company listened to the feedback, and is now reversing course.
"We've been constantly monitoring the feedback you've given us, as well as internally discussing your concerns about the use of real names on our forums," Mike Morhaime, the CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment, wrote. "As a result of those discussions, we've decided at this time that real names will not be required for posting on official Blizzard forums."
Is anonymity really that important to gamers? We thought it would be enlightening to speak to someone whose name is already well known in gaming circles. Would a loss of anonymity change how he played games? Chris Grant, the Editor in Chief of the popular gaming news site Joystiq, was kind enough to speak with us on the subject.
"To be honest, I've never been bothered by having my name be publicly available on gaming services—in fact, I've argued that both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network have been really derelict in their duty of powering 'social networks' without any real identity," Grant explained. "However, as a publisher of online content with an active community, I'm acutely sensitive to the desire to stay anonymous, especially when dealing with video games. We get emails weekly asking us to delete a years-old comment with someone's name in it, because it's ranking too highly in Google and they're going on a job search. It's actually strange how frequently we get that exact request."
Grant argues that an opt-in service that encourages people to use their real name would have been easier to support, but making the use of real names mandatory in the context of a paid service is a hard sell. "It's actually difficult to imagine how Blizzard got as far as they did without someone internally sounding an alarm," Grant told Ars.
For better or worse, online gaming carries a stigma among some circles, and some folks may not want their thoughts on how the latest patch affects their Paladin to be known to their bosses. A quick Google search is common practice in hiring circles these days, and what if the HR employee with your résumé in his or her hand is Horde and you're Alliance? No one needs that kind of stress in their life.
This is their second, if not third, life
People play online games as a way to escape from their day-to-day existence, and leaving behind their real names, professions, and even some of the consequences from speaking their minds is a large part of that experience. Blizzard would have given them a choice: either attach your words to your real name, or stop participating in the forum community. Neither option was appetizing.
"I think the U-turn is a fascinating development. It is a political event, really, the equivalent of a government policy being overturned because of public outcry," Edward Castronova, author of Synthetic Worlds: The Business and Culture of Online Games told Gamasutra. "It is also surprising that anonymity has been so vociferously defended. Perhaps there is some strength to the view that fantasy lives are important for many people, even those who don't consider themselves role-players and fantasists."
After the loud and overwhelmingly negative response to the idea of using the Real ID system on the official forum, it's going to be a while before other publishers look seriously into the idea of tying the real and virtual identities of their customers closer together.

OP police: Road-rage incident leads to shots fired
No injuries reported in incident along Metcalf Avenue
A road-rage incident led to shots being fired early Monday morning, Overland Park, Kan., police said.
Police told KMBC-TV that the incident started between a couple of cars at Interstate 435 and Metcalf Avenue about 7:30 a.m. and continued north on Metcalf Avenue. Police said shots were fired near 79th Street and Metcalf Avenue, hitting one car. The driver pulled over and called police.
Witnesses said they saw the driver of one car fire shots through the sun roof. They said it sounded like firecrackers being set off.
One bullet hit the trunk of the victim's car. Another hit a car at a nearby dealership.
"This is a pretty good neighborhood and we haven't had any problems like that at all," said a man who works at a nearby business and asked to be identified as Andrew.
He said he was a couple of minutes ahead of schedule Monday, something that might have made a difference.
"It's just kind of scary to think, you know, a little bit of difference in timing you could be involved involved in almost a drive-by shooting," he said. "If the other driver had a gun and they were both shooting at each other, then that would have just made the situation worse."
Police said it's fortunate that no one was hit in the hail of gunfire. They said they were still looking for the driver of a black car and that he appeared to be in the vehicle alone.
Safety experts said the key to avoiding road rage is often common sense. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the first thing to do is get away from the aggressive driver and to avoid eye contact, which often makes the driver angrier. It said to ignore any gestures the other driver makes and not to make any.
Any serious road rage incidents should be reported to police, once the driver is out of immediate danger.

I'm trying to install eclipse RCP 64 bit version on my Mac (10.7.5).
Whenever I tried to launch eclipse, I got this crash screen.
When I tried to start eclipse using command line, I got
Segmentation fault: 11 error message.
What might be wrong? RCP 32bit works fine, and eclipse classic 64bit version works also fine.
And it is just OK to use RCP 32bit version on Lion?

Chelsea's John Terry reacts after being injured in a collision with Liverpool's Uruguan striker Luis Suarez. (Ian Kington, AFP)
Terry was making his return after a four-game domestic ban for racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand last season, and he broke the deadlock against Liverpool with a 20th-minute header.
However, 19 minutes later he left the fray on a stretcher, his head in his hands, following a collision with Luis Suarez, who added insult to injury by scoring the visitors' equaliser with 17 minutes to play.
The result left the European champions three points behind leaders Manchester United and one point below City, who came from behind to win 2-1 at home to Spurs thanks to an 88th-minute winner from substitute Edin Dzeko.
At Stamford Bridge, Terry glanced home Juan Mata's corner to break the deadlock and claim his 50th goal in Chelsea's colours, but the former England defender did not make it to half-time.
His right knee buckled after Suarez fell on top of him, prompting an anguished cry that was picked up by television microphones and necessitating five minutes of treatment before he was carried off by medics.
Chelsea came close to extending their lead on several occasions, most notably when Mata fired over late in the first half and when Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones produced a reflex save to block Fernando Torres' second-half header.
Suarez had been having a quiet game but in the 73rd minute he popped up to claim the equaliser, nodding in from close range after Jamie Carragher flicked on Suso's corner to record his eighth league goal of the campaign.
It was Liverpool's third consecutive draw and left Brendan Rodgers' side in 13th place.
Dzeko's late strike gave City victory over Spurs at the Etihad Stadium, as Roberto Mancini's side emulated United's 3-2 win at Aston Villa on Saturday by coming from behind to win.
City trailed to Steven Caulker's 21st-minute opener but drew level through Sergio Aguero in the second half before Dzeko struck late on to close the gap on United to two points.
"It was a huge win because it was a difficult moment," said City coach Mancini.
"We had a lot of important players injured and today I saw the same spirit from the players that I saw last year.
"In the first half we played well. I didn't feel Tottenham had chances apart from a couple of set pieces.
We need to improve there.
The visitors successfully marshalled City's attacking players in the opening stages and went ahead in the 21st minute when Caulker met Tom Huddlestone's free-kick with a header that Joe Hart fumbled over the line.
Huddlestone came within inches of extending the visitors' lead with a crisp drive, but City felt they should have been awarded penalties for an apparent William Gallas handball and a block by Huddlestone on Pablo Zabaleta.
Carlos Tevez and Zabaleta both tested Spurs goalkeeper Brad Friedel in the minutes prior to half-time, before Aguero drew the hosts level in the 65th minute.
David Silva's pass was inadvertently diverted into Aguero's path by a Spurs player and the Argentine cut inside Caulker before rolling the ball past Friedel.
Silva shot wide and Friedel saved well from Aguero, but victory looked set to elude the home side until Silva picked out Dzeko with a chipped pass and the Bosnian hooked a left-foot half-volley into the roof of the net.
In the day's other game, Kevin Nolan returned to haunt former club Newcastle United by scoring the only goal of the game as West Ham United won 1-0 at St James' Park to climb into the top six. – Sapa-AFP

Earlier in the week, an audio tape surfaced from two years ago of Nebraska coach Bo Pelini using profane language talking about fans and newspaper writers. Nebraska said it wouldn't punish Pelini and he expected the team's fanbase to forgive him.
On Friday, Nebraska's website published a letter from Pelini apologizing to fans and thanking them for their support.
Here's the letter in its entirety:
There is no better time than right now for me to personally thank you for your support of Nebraska Athletics and Nebraska Football.
This past week has obviously been a difficult one for many people associated with the University of Nebraska and our football program. I wanted to take this opportunity to say I regret the comments that I made in private two years ago, and apologize to Husker fans everywhere.
We all make mistakes in our lives, both personally and professionally, and like everyone else I am human. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes and correct them to improve yourself as a person. I hope you can see that I have done that and continue to strive to improve each day.
Most importantly, I want all of you to know that my comments in 2011 were not in any way representative of my true feelings about our great fans and donors here at Nebraska. The time, energy, money and passion you invest in our football program and all of our athletic programs is second to none.
It is an honor to lead our football team into Memorial Stadium in front of more than 91,000 fans for each home game. It never ceases to amaze me how many of you show up on the road, no matter where we travel. That type of fan support makes a difference and certainly does not go unnoticed.
On the field, we have the opportunity to be a good football team. Last week's game wasn't the result any of us were looking for, but we will bounce back. There is still a lot of football to be played and I like the attitude of this football team.
I appreciate the support of Chancellor Perlman and Shawn Eichorst, and once again the support that all of you provide for our athletic programs. Your support makes it possible for student-athletes, coaches and staff to have a great experience at Nebraska, and provides us with every opportunity to succeed.
Thank you and Go Big Red!
Bo Pelini

A new staging of György Kurtág's song-cycle Kafka Fragments premieres in the Linbury Studio Theatre this week. Performed by soprano Claire Booth and violinist Peter Manning, the song-cycle will be brought to life in an imaginative new staging by video artist Netia Jones. We caught up with Netia and Claire during rehearsals to find out more:
Is Kafka Fragments only for fans of Kafka's work?
Netia: Not at all. One of the reasons why Franz Kafka is one of the great authors is not just the brilliance of his writing and observation, but that the themes that he tackles are timeless. These feeling of confusion, alienation and fear are things that just don't change; they are easy to understand from any point of view or perspective. In our production, we are trying to create something that is timeless.
Claire: The song cycle is so idiosyncratic that it is accessible for those who feel they know nothing about Kurtág and Kafka.
The piece is composed of 40 miniature works that range in length from 12 seconds to four minutes. Does the cycle work as a unified whole?
Netia: It's actually very important to me that it's not a unified whole. Although there is a structure to it, there isn't a narrative. What Kurtág and Kafka offer is an open-ended question – something unfinished that you can explore. There's not a solution there, but a space for the question itself. It's a very beautiful piece of music.
Kafka's characters often show aspects of his own personality, and Kafka Fragments is composed from his diaries and letters. Do you think the song cycle offers insights into the writer himself?
Netia: We're not exploring anything biographical, but rather the essence of Kafka's thinking and his approach to life. Because these fragments are so concentrated and so crystalline, you find themes that are recurrent in Kafka's work.
Netia, you work a lot with visual projections and video. How are you using projected media in this production?
Netia: We are presenting projected translations of the text all the way through. You have to be able to read and understand the actual fragments to grasp their many layers and to know why Kurtág has set them the way he has. The projections also offer moments of illumination. It's not just about casting light in a physical sense, but offering visual guidance to enable us to grasp the meaning better: fleeting moments when something is illuminated before the light goes off.
Kafka's texts are often difficult to translate into English. How do you think they translate to music?
Netia: Kurtág brings Kafka's texts to life in musical form to reveal the real essence of their author. It's not often that you see such a perfect marriage of music and text.
In some ways, the translation of the spirit of Kafka into music is easier than into the English language."
Claire: Kafka Fragments works because it is the meeting of two men who, though seemingly unrelated in every way, have so much in common. Both said that their work is about their own experiences of life and, in particular, both distil what they do to its most concentrated form so that every utterance has an intensity, and layers of meaning. The cycle is a real pinnacle of vocal writing in the modern age and so it's an amazing piece to work on. It demands a lot in regards to performance, but I like a challenge.
Kafka Fragments is performed on 28 and 30 March in the Linbury Studio Theatre. Tickets are still available.
