Spike's Coffee & Teas
Overall Rating: 7.850
|Notes: Coffee Sales; Coffee Accessory Sales; Outdoor Seating
|This popular neighborhood caf� deserves the attention. They have shown a tremendous amount of consistency over the past few years; I can tell when an age-old review still nails the espresso at some establishment over a year or two later. The price of a single espresso may have risen 40� since 2003, but the rest is the same. In a small, humble space that goes relatively deep alongside wall-to-wall coffee beans. They have a few indoor tables and a few for the sidewalk outside as well. A wide variety of loose teas and roasted beans for sale. The baristas here tamp well and are deliberately patient. They serve a modestly sized espresso with a dark brown, congealed crema of good thickness; it holds together well and persists throughout the cup. It has a very smooth texture with a robust, syrup-like body. Well-balanced, complex, and a rich flavor -- tasting of tobacco with some herbal and spicy elements. Not a sweet cup, but there's a lot going on. Served in stocky IPA cups.

The team at Australian Debt Solvers are ready to talk to you
Help for a Distraught Director and Accountant
Australian Debt Solvers were extremely competent and spent a great deal of time answering our questions. Everything was set out clearly and in a helpful manner with easy to understand instructions. Advice was given with the greatest consideration. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who needs help with company liquidation.
They answered every question we asked within a very short space of time. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very understanding – knowing how hard it is for a business to come to this decision.
I have told other Accountants about the great service they provide.
Keeping a profitable business, after the Court had appointed a Liquidator
We spoke to ADS after our company had already been wound up by the courts. We wanted the assets from the liquidated business, but didn't know how to get them. We called Debt Solvers and they took care of everything….they got an "Authority to Act" from us, spoke to Deloittes who were the Liquidator, negotiated the sale of the assets, set up a new company for us…….and we are now going from strength to strength. Money was well spent with ADS!
Gary & Jo, UFIF Engineering
Turning around a company that owed too much to the Tax Office
Our company is a Medical recruitment agency with mostly Government based clients. We had a good sales forecast……but were heavily weighed down with debt, mostly from the ATO. I met with Debt Solvers….when I thought I was going to lose the business. They talked me through Voluntary Administration where you offer creditors a reduced amount, and you pay the reduced debt over 12 months – which is called a Deed of Company Arrangement. Our creditors agreed on the offer, and we have gone from strength to strength. ADS even organised a Debtor Finance company to assist with our cashflow at a reasonable rate. Considering I thought we were going to lose the business – an great result!
Shaun, Beat Medical
We've helped thousands of Australian Business Directors with the Lowest Price Liquidations in Australia!
Australian Debt Solvers takes up to 10 enquiries per day from Australian Companies that have debt issues. A lot of these have under $100,000 of unsecured debt, with no company assets, and simply need to close the company down. Debt Solvers does this for a fair price, efficiently and with empathy for the Director. It's a service that has proven extremely useful for Directors, right across Australia.
A low cost Voluntary Administration service to get companies back on their feet
Australian Debt Solvers hears from a lot of Directors, where there company could be profitable and trading well, but they are being tied down by too much debt – of which the majority is usually the ATO. We have worked through with hundreds of companies – a Voluntary Administration – where we negotiate and reduced amount of debt to creditors over usually a 12-24 month period. This is called a Deed of Company Arrangement….and is an extremely effective method of assisting companies to "get back on their feet". Debt Solvers charges a fair price through this process…….and it's great to see a business go from strength to strength after this service.
Blows competition out of the water
Firstly Dave showed compassion when the other liquidator was very impersonal. Secondly Australian Debt Solvers are helpful – there was stuff Dave didn't have to tell me as he is just dealing with our company not our personal affairs. However he answered all my questions which makes it easier and gives me a lot more confidence that we are not breaching rules as we wind down. Thirdly, the fee is so much cheaper than a traditional insolvency practice. So far I am very impressed with Australian Debt Solvers. I will post another review once we have completed the process.

Disassembling the RC car
NOTE: Before starting make sure all batteries are removed from the RC can and that it is turned off. If your RC car has a battery that can't be removed, please proceed with extra caution.
The first step in hacking any RC car is of course to disassemble it partially, so that we have access to its internal electronics and the ability to adequately place the Arduino and other necessary components.
Every RC car we will work with has a covering, or top, usually in one piece, that serves to make it look authentic and also serve as protection for the internal components. This is the first part we will remove.
Turn the RC car over and find the screws which hold the top onto the vehicle. Note that all the screws should not be removed, just the ones holding the top on. This may involve a little guesswork however it is often possible to simply look and see which ones are holding it and which ones are not. These screws tend to be towards the edges of the base. Remove them with the appropriate screwdriver.
Once the top has been removed, you can see the chassis of the vehicle.
The next step is to expose the internal electronics. If a vehicle is smaller or cheaper this may be already exposed however usually you will have to remove a covering.
Now you are ready to begin attaching the Arduino and its necessary components.

Stories of the Last Pre-Internet GenerationBlog Post: February 11, 2008
I remember handwritten school papers in Junior High and then papers on my electric typewriter for High School. Also, we had one family member, Uncle Al. And he could get you anywhere you needed to go in the tri state area. No trip started without calling Uncle Al for detailed directions and you had to get them down good because there were no cell phones if you lost your way!
Oh woops - I meant to do a new comment. Sorry!

We had some more family come to visit us. Jake's sister Jen, and her family did a road trip to NC. They had never been down to see us. Anna, Jake's younger sister, decided to join the road trip. We had so much fun having them all here. Here's some of the fun we had:
Hanging out at home, waiting for the rain to stop & the sun to shine.
Once the sun came out & the rain stopped, we headed to WB with our picnic lunch.
Selfie with Aunt Anna
The girls got their nails painted MULTIPLE times.
Painting the seashells we found at the beach.
Waiting oh so patiently for the hot & fresh Britt's donuts.
Cousin donut distribution
This girl LOVES donuts; both our girls do.

Cities of the Dead
It's thought that at least five hundred thousand Cairenes live amid the Cities of the Dead, two vast cemeteries that stretch away from the Citadel to merge with newer shantytowns below the Muqattam. The Southern Cemetery, sprawling to the southeast of Ibn Tulun's Mosque, is only visible from the Muqattam, or at close quarters. The Northern Cemetery, by contrast, is an unforgettably eerie sight, with dozens of mausoleums rising from a sea of dwellings along the road from Cairo Airport.
Although tourists generally – and understandably – feel uneasy about viewing the cemeteries' splendid funerary architecture with squatters living all around or in the tombs, few natives regard the Cities of the Dead as forbidding places. Egyptians have a long tradition of building "houses" near their ancestral graves and picnicking or even staying there overnight; other families have simply occupied them. By Cairene standards these are poor but decent neighbourhoods, with shops, schools and electricity, maybe even piped water and sewers. The saints buried here provide a moral touchstone and baraka for their communities, who honour them with moulids.
Though these are generally not dangerous quarters, it's best to exercise some caution when visiting. Don't flaunt money or costly possessions, and be sure to dress modestly; women should have a male escort, and will seem more respectable if wearing a headscarf. You'll be marginally less conspicuous on Fridays, when many Cairenes visit their family plots; but remember that mosques can't be entered during midday prayers. At all events, leave the cemeteries before dark, if only to avoid getting lost in their labyrinthine alleys – and don't stray to the east into the inchoate (and far riskier) slums around the foothills of the Muqattam.

University of Alabama at Birmingham

Personal Services Approval and Payment Policy -- Non-UAB Employee
The University of Alabama at Birmingham must ensure that payments to its employees (as defined below) for services rendered to UAB are handled in accordance with Internal Revenue Service requirements, other governmental regulations, and UAB policies and that such payments provide consistent treatment across the institution. In instances in which a current UAB employee is to provide services which previously have not been part of the employee's responsibilities, the employee and the supervisor will determine whether the additional services are to be considered part of the employee's regular workload. If the services are not part of the employee's regular workload, the stipulations of this policy must be followed. Determination of the proper treatment of payments for personal services involves legal and regulatory issues which are institutional in nature.
As used in this policy, the following terms have the indicated meanings:
Individual -- Person, sole proprietor of a business, or an owner of an unincorporated business.
Current UAB Employee -- Any individual who is appointed currently to the UAB payroll or who reasonably is expected to be paid in the future through the UAB payroll for this or any other type of employee service.
Personal Services -- Work performed for UAB by an individual for which compensation is to be paid including, but not limited to, salary, wages, consulting fees, and honorariums.
Policy Statement

Application for independent contractor status must be made on the form provided by Financial Affairs. A copy of the completed, pre-approved form must be attached to each requisition for payment.
The determination as to whether services are entitled to independent contractor treatment will be made by Financial Affairs.
The Vice President for Financial Affairs and Administration is responsible for implementation of this policy through UAB Financial Affairs. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Executive Director of Accounting.

Sometimes stars get it right, and sometimes they need another celeb to step in and show 'em how it's done. From Leighton Meester and Freida Pinto in sparkling stripes to Jennifer Aniston and Ashley Tisdale in baggy boyfriend jeans, here's a look at this week's celebrity hits and misses.
Trend #1: Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2012
Photos: WENN.com
Miss: At the Salvatore Ferragamo Resort 2013 presentation at the Louvre, A-listers rubbed designer-clad elbows, checked out the new collection, and had their fortunes told by Leighton Meester—or at least that's the gypsy woman vibe her outfit gives me. The beaded skirt is chic, but the off-the-shoulder blouse with its gratuitous ties and ruffles just looks silly. The actress should've considered that the look's cherry color would clash with her new auburn locks, but she couldn't have predicted that she would awkwardly blend in with the background.
Hit: Freida Pinto's outfit from the same collection at the same event was spot-on. I love the way the embellished body of the dress is offset by the sheer sleeves but continues in a detail at the cuffs. Her dark nails, simple hair, and romantic makeup finished the polished look.
Trend #2: Boyfriend Jeans
Photos: WENN.com
Miss: Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Justin Theroux arrived in Paris this week, and it looks like Aniston helped him pack light by wearing his jeans. The actress paired her overly droopy denim with a belt that barely held them up, Balmain jacket, and white sneakers. We all like to travel in comfort but slouchy is one thing and saggy is another.
Hit: Ashley Tisdale rocked the boyfriend denim look while shopping in Santa Monica. She found the balance between a relaxed and slim fit with her light wash cuffed jeans. She kept the rest of her outfit casual with an oversized heather gray t-shirt, floppy hat, buckled ankle boots, and colorful quilted bag.
Trend #3: Black and White and Emily All Over
Photos: WENN.com
Close call: I loved both Emily VanCamp's and Emily Blunt's black and white outfits this month. The look is simple, classic, and incredibly easy to pull off. VanCamp went more feminine with her flouncy black Rachel Zoe skirt and textured cap-sleeve Monique Lhuillier top she wore to the Revenge photocall at the Monte Carlo Film Festival. Emily Blunt looked a bit more dressed down in London in black skinnies by Joe's Jeans, and a loose-fitting white pullover with rolled up sleeves and a leather satchel. Both Emilys accesorized with gray footwear, Vancamp choosing snakeskin heels and Blunt going with suede Jimmy Choo ankle booties. Which Emily's black and white look do you want to steal?

Summary and Keywords
The English-speaking world awaits its first detailed study examining Latin America during World War I. Many historical events of the era remain little-known, as does much of the region's military history during this period. While key chronologies, personalities, groups, and historical avenues remain unidentified, researchers must draw knowledge from existing texts. The authors cited in this article for further study cover only a small fraction of the myriad topics presented by the war.
World War I set in motion a unique power readjustment in Latin America, the likes of which had not been experienced in the region since the 1820s. Most significantly, the temporary suspension of economic ties with Europe disrupted everyday processes that elites and commoners had previously taken for granted. Changes in economy and finance triggered a struggle between indigenous Americans, peasants, workers, elites, and immigrants, setting the stage for the social and political changes of the 1920s. Amidst the upheaval of World War I, non-elite Latin American groups successfully focused national politics on regional and ethnic issues, while elite Latin Americans weighed the potential advantages of ties with Spanish and Italian authoritarianism. World War I ended European financial dominance over the region, and the destruction of Europe reduced export markets to a point where Latin America's economic relations with the United States gained new significance. U.S. military advisors took their places alongside European trainers, and many different "U.S." actors emerged on Latin American soil, acting out rivaling understandings of appropriate U.S. activity in Latin America. The war heralded the end of Belgian influence and of significant French power in the region, British acceptance of U.S. financial preeminence, and questions as to how Prussian military expertise could be leveraged to Latin America's benefit in the future. The creation of the League of Nations, a development alien to Latin American political culture, caught the region off guard. And yet it laid the foundation for global Latin American diplomacy in the 1930s and after World War II. In the end, the search for a new understanding of a Latin American nation's place on the changing world stage led to the elevation of the institution of the national army as a social and political arbiter. The myth of the army as embodiment of national essence would last until the 1980s.
Keywords: World War I, economic warfare, finances, secret war, indiginismo, Hispanismo, labor, social regeneration, identity, right-wing organizations, raw material exports, national essence, authentic visual representation

In a dry installation the pumps are not submerged in the pumped liquid, but installed next to the sump.
In dry-installations, the pumps can be installed horizontally or vertically. The common advantages of a horizontal installation are:
- simplified piping with fewer bends
- an even suction flow to the impeller, and
- a lower pump position
The motor on a dry-installed pump requires a form of cooling. This could be a cooling jacket that allows an external liquid or the pumped liquid to flow around the motor house. On Grundfos SE1/SEV pumps, the motor house is made of solid aluminium and therefore does not require special cooling in a dry installation.
The trend is going toward dry-installed pumps rather than submerged pump installations. This is mainly due to the working environment for servicing the pumps.

Ashampoo Photo Converter acts as a tool to perform bulk operations on large numbers of image files at once. The program accepts BMP, JPEG, PSD, and TIFF files as input, can manipulate the images in a number of ways, then export the finished images to any of eighteen file types.
While it is capable of accomplishing many of the common bulk actions you'd want to apply to an image archive, insufficient levels of control in some tools, a lack of a preview mode, and small quirky aspects of the user interface make using Photo Converter a less than satisfying experience.
Among the modifications Photo Converter is capable of making, you can add watermarks; apply brightness, contrast, and gamma correction; modify image colour depth; add visual effects like sharpening, blur, drop shadows, or borders; resize, rotate, invert, flip, or mirror images. However, I found myself forced to make undesirable compromises at nearly every step.
Take the resize feature, for instance: It's easy to resize an entire folder of images to, say, a standard print size like 4 inches by 6 inches, but because you cannot specify the bit depth of the output files, your original 300dpi images will end up as 96dpi, which is lower than suitable for nice quality prints and larger than necessary for the Web, where 72dpi rules the day. Would it be too much to ask for Ashampoo Photo Converter to specify what bit depth any converted files would use, or even maintain the same bit depth as in the originals?
The watermark feature got me excited, but only until I tried it out. In order to watermark your images, you need to create another image file–with some other image editing program that contains the watermark text. No, you cannot simply type in the watermark text. So, IDG generated a few test sample images of just a black background with white text, and saved them (in 24-bit color, just to be thorough) as BMP, PNG, and JPEG formats. Photo Converter simply barfed out a user-unfriendly error message that read "Only 32-bit RGBA image files can be used as watermark image." Even my Nikon D80 generates JPEG images in 24-bit color depth, so I was perplexed as to why something as simplie as a watermark required a greater bit depth than the digital photo I was trying to apply it to.
Photo Converter seems to be the less capable relative of two of Ashampoo's other products, Photo Optimizer and Photo Commander. But unlike either of these tools, Photo Converter lacks simple things like the ability to preview the result of your modifications before you commit to changes, and some of the more common, useful features like red-eye reduction.
We can't understand why a bulk image converter doesn't include the ability to rename the converted files, so they don't get mixed up with the originals. And I just can't get behind the program's use of a semicolon (instead of a hyphen) where it indicates a range of numeric values you can input into a form field in the Configure Options window.
As with Photo Commander, Photo Converter also installs a potentially unwanted browser toolbar, which modifies the default search settings and changes your homepage in Internet Explorer, unless you deselect that option in the setup Wizard.
We can't help but think that Ashampoo should fix the problems in Photo Optimizer, and euthanise Photo Converter. As a bulk processing tool, Ashampoo Photo Converter seems to be able do the jobs it was designed to do. The problem is that the jobs Photo Converter was designed to do don't mesh very well with the kinds of tasks for which your typical shutterbug may want to use it

You know the feeling. That moment when you look at a necklace or pair of shoes and it instantly lights up your heart and makes you feel amazing? Well when I hit the red carpet at the Style Network's 4th Annual Give & Get Fete, I asked a few celebs exactly which item in their closet gives them those warm and fuzzies. Take a look and then tell me yours!
"I love a blazer. But it has to be a really nice and classic cut. Once you find a really, really nice piece that looks expensive and that can go with everything— skirts, pants, dresses— it's great. You look very stylish, chic, classy and professional at the same time!"
"A little black dress always makes a woman feel great. And shoes make me feel awesome!" [BTW, Garcelle is wearing a Diane Von Furstenberg dress—the necklace is attached!—and a stunning Swarovski ring.]
Sara Rue
"Right now it's my pajama bottoms because that's what fits me! [laughs] But really, coming home and putting on my pj's after work, especially when you're in these tiny little dresses. You just want to be comfortable."
President of Style Media, Salaam Coleman Smith
"I have a few pairs of shoes that I really love. These are YSL, and the platform makes them so comfortable actually!"
Wendi McClendon-Covey
"I've got three LBD's. And my nude pumps. I love my nude Miu Miu pumps. They can't be too high, but these are kind of crazy."
What's your "happy" item? Share in the comments below!

Dannon Oikos Dips - We've been making slimmed-down dips with Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for a while, so we LOVE that someone else is doing the work for us! These dips come in French Onion, Cucumber Dill, Roasted Red Pepper, and Vegetable & Herb. Each 2-tbsp. serving has 25 calories, 1g fat, 110 - 160mg sodium, 2g carbs, 0g fiber, 1 - 2g sugars, and 2g protein (PointsPlus® value 1*). Bet they'd be great paired with this next find...
Kashi Hummus Crisps - These new made-with-chickpeas crisps don't really taste like hummus. But we couldn't care less, because the air-popped snacks are insanely delicious! In Sea Salt & Olive Oil, Caramelized Onion (mind-blowingly good!), and Sundried Tomato, Basil & Feta, a 27-crisp serving has 120 calories, 3.5g fat, 180 - 190mg sodium, 21g carbs, 4g fiber, <1 - 1g sugars, and 3 - 4g protein (PointsPlus® value 3*). Find them at Walmart and Target locations. (Coming soon to supermarkets!)
New Flavors! Special K Pastry Crisps - We've been fans of these sweet treats since there were just a few fruit flavors. What are the new varieties, you ask? Chocolatey Caramel and Cookies & Crème!!! Right?! We know!! Each 2-crisp pack has 100 calories, 2 - 2.5g fat, 105 - 125mg sodium, 19 - 20g carbs, <1g fiber, 7g sugars, and <1 - 1g protein (PointsPlus® value 3*). Find these STAT!
Summer officially begins this week, and we can't think of a better way to celebrate than with new BRight Choices flavors! Look for these at participating Baskin-Robbins locations nationwide...
Toasted Marshmallow Chip Premium Churned Light Ice Cream - WOWOWOWOW! Toasty marshmallow ice cream with a chocolate 'mallow ribbon and chocolate chips? Yes, please! Have a 2.5-oz. scoop for 140 calories and 3g fat (PointsPlus® value 3*). Get it now, 'cuz it'll be gone come September!
Watermelon Chip Ice - This returning favorite sounds absolutely incredible: watermelon flavor speckled with chocolate "seeds." Cute! And a 2.5-oz. scoop has just 80 calories and 0.5g fat (PointsPlus® value 2*). Available now through August.
Lemonade Iced Tea Sorbet - Also here through August is this fruity pick. It's like a frozen Arnold Palmer! A 2.5-oz. scoop has only 70 fat-free calories (PointsPlus® value 2*). Impressive!
Maui Brownie Madness Frozen Yogurt - Mark your calendars, because this flavor arrives in just two weeks! From July through September, enjoy chocolate fro yo that's studded with brownie chunks 'n macadamia nuts and laced with chocolate fudge. All that for 150 calories and 3.5g fat per 2.5-oz. scoop (PointsPlus® value 3*).
Pineapple Coconut No Sugar Added Ice Cream - This tropical option is available all year long! Sounds good, since a 2.5-oz. scoop has just 100 calories and 4g fat (PointsPlus® value 3*).
Sadly, it's not all fun, sunshine, and guilt-free treats out there. Consider this your HG PSA about the dangers of summer's shockingly fattening frozen drinks...
Denny's Seasonal Shakes and Frosty Coffee - Are you sitting down? The new fruity milkshakes -- in Strawberry Cheesecake, Lemon Icebox Pie, and Blueberry Cheesecake -- each have an outrageous 1,070 - 1,110 calories and 62 - 65g fat! And the innocent-sounding Frosty Roast blended coffee has a shocking 380 calories and 24g fat. Eeeks! Instead of a shake, get the yogurt-based White Lemon Chill with 260 fat-free calories (PointsPlus® value 7*). Better yet, have an HG Banana-Berry Cloud at home! And swap the blended coffee drink for the Iced Coffee, which has 110 calories and 5g fat (PointsPlus® value 3*). Or click here and enjoy a creamy HG coffee drink that's super low in fat!
Dunkin' Donuts Hot Chocolate Coolatta - We love you, DD, but this new sipper is NOT COOL. Even a small one packs 410 calories and 5g fat, and the large version has a staggering 820 calories and 10g fat... plus 144 grams of sugar! If it's frozen hot chocolate you're after, we've got a swap for that: our Freakishly Good Frozen Hot Chocolate! If you find yourself at Dunkin' D this summer, stick to the iced coffee and be smart about the add-ins. (Click to calculate!)
Exciting fast-food scoop: Taco Bell is reportedly testing a "Fresco Power" menu, featuring lower-carb items with at least 20g protein and less than 400 calories each! We hear it's very similar to the Cantina Bell menu, but stripped of heavy ingredients like rice and creamy dressing. We LOVE this idea and want to see it go nationwide. If you do too, click here and let the folks at the Bell know!!! There's strength in numbers, people... ***Remember our "Would You Rather... ?" poll from last week? Thousands of you weighed in, and we've got the results! When it comes to choosing between being at a healthy body weight forever and winning $5 million in the lottery, respondents were (surprisingly!) pretty evenly split; same with deciding between having a personal chef and a personal trainer. But when given the hypothetical option to either never have to exercise or never have to count calories, 68 percent would prefer to ditch the calorie counting. Also, 61 percent would rather have a better metabolism than a better memory, and an overwhelming 88 percent would rather that their favorite food be free of calories than free of charge. Interesting stuff! Thanks to everyone who participated. ***Trying to shed pounds and keep 'em off long term? According to recent findings, a low-carb diet could be more effective than a low-fat one. As published in this month's British Journal of Nutrition, researchers came to the conclusion after analyzing the results of more than a dozen studies. (That less-carby Taco Bell test menu is looking better and better!) ***Cool news! Pinkberry has just launched Pinkberrysmoothies made with Greek yogurt, most with 210 - 280 calories, 0 - 1.5g fat, and 11 - 12g protein each (PointsPlus® value 6 - 8*)! Choose from conventional fruity flavors like Strawberry Banana as well as offbeat options like Cucumber Mint. P.S. The only exception to the aforementioned stats is the Peanut Butter Banana pick, with 420 calories and 14g fat. And that's all we've got. HG out!

The Real Reason Apple Bought Beats: Addiction
May 30, 2014 6:49 AM PT
I get the sense that a good many Apple enthusiasts are confused by its acquisition of Beats Electronics. Sure, many are nodding their heads, saying that Beats is good for Apple and makes total sense. The headphones are selling well. With 250,000 paying subscribers, the Beats Music service is taking off fast, and it can only be elevated by Apple's global brand and infrastructure.
However, there's an undercurrent of concern, too -- a bit of head-scratching and scrambling to make sense of what this really means for Apple's future. After all, couldn't Apple have built everything that Beats offers, all by itself? (On the surface, yes.)
Does Apple really need to buy "cool" these days? (No.) More worrisome, is Apple becoming one of those big companies that starts buying other companies just to keep the parent conglomerate growing and expanding in order to confuse Wall Street and make lackluster executives feel like they're actually doing something important? (I sure hope not.)
So why Beats? Why now? What the heck is going on here? Is Apple going to start buying companies in order to attract new management talent, like Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre? After all, it's hard to make a traditional "hire" of an industry-leading professional with deep industry business connections. A simple hire seems like a step down, especially to pros who are running their own companies. A big acquisition, though, makes landing an Iovine or Dre possible.
Despite making sense on paper, the whole Beats acquisition still seems so anti-Apple that it's just damn unsettling.
Finally, though -- just now -- I get it. Let me share. Maybe you'll agree.
Good but Not Insanely Great Products
At first, I got hung up on the headphones, because the Beats headphones are popular -- but not insanely great. Apple used to shoot for both -- to make a product that was insanely great and make it popular through fantastic marketing. As near as I can tell, audiophiles and music lovers who appreciate fidelity pretty much shrug their shoulders at the Beats line of headphones and speakers. Why would Apple buy something that wasn't better than what it could produce on its own?
This is an issue I've been struggling with. Like most of the tech press, I tried to shrug it off with the notion that the fledgling Beats Music subscription business is the key. That Apple is willing to buy the mediocre "products" in order to get the backend subscription deals with music labels, so as to offer something it doesn't yet have itself.
Forget the scraggly trees, right? Just buy the whole damn forest.
However, Apple is a very thoughtful company. It moves with intent. If Apple poured US$3 billion into its own subscription service, it easily could launch a great new service, if not a whole new sub-brand. So what gives?
A Closer Look at Headphones
Despite popular belief, Apple is not a fashion company. Apple produces products that become fashionable -- not because of how they look, but because of how they make customers feel. When you hold an Apple device in your hand -- iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook -- the quality and care is obvious. Even the iPhone 5c is incredibly solid and well-made.
Combine the hardware with the software, which delivers constant positive interactions with the user, and you've got a device that becomes an extension of a person's personality -- in a sense, an element of fashion. Still, Apple didn't set out to be cool -- Apple set out to build great products that, because of their greatness, became cool. As a consequence, Apple became cool, too.
Beats seems to come from a radically different place -- it started with an attempt to create a product that was cool and fashionable -- one that people wanted because it was cool.
That seems anti-Apple.
There's something wrong with this simple explanation, though. It's not deep enough. It's flat and condescending -- not only to Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, but also to the consumers who shelled out for mediocre-plus headphones in cool shiny colors.
So what's going on? Music is about emotion. It creates and modifies moods. It's profoundly biological. What Beats did was build and create a new cue -- a sign of sorts -- in color, format, and logo -- that reminds a person to listen to music and enjoy it, to put on their Beats headphones with intent.
Then the visceral experience of the music reinforces the distinctive design in such a way that users get more joy out of listening to music through their Beats headphones than through other, more generic-looking headphones. Cost and quality become secondary to the repeated experience created by using Beats headphones.
In short, Beats headphones represent a constant reminder to enjoy your music.
This achievement is a big deal. It's not a fad. It's a connection between a product and life enjoyment -- and when the joy is absent, it's a form of addictive self-medication.
I'm not kidding.
Most of us manipulate our energy and moods with a wide variety of tactics and substances -- coffee, alcohol, chocolate, hot showers, exercise, potato chips, drugs. Over the ear headphones (that youngsters will wear in public) create a suddenly immersive music experience. They shield you from the outside world and focus attention on the experience between your ears -- in a way that Apple's iconic white earbuds simply cannot replicate. Earbuds deliver sound, but they don't have the size and shape to trigger a deep physical and emotional signal that focuses your experience the way that large headphones do.
The very act of placing a large set of headphones over your ears creates a cocoon of sound and experience that both shields you from the rigors of the outside world and takes you somewhere else.
Does Tim Cook know this? Maybe. Does Apple? Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised. The most coveted products are always less about fashion than they are about emotion -- the dirty little secret of addiction. (After Flappy Bird -- which nobody accused of being cool -- you would think the connection between product, experience, and addiction would be more thoroughly discussed.)
Enter the Beats Subscription Service
Apple could seek to create its own line of headphones to attempt to create this same sort of buying and using experience. But Apple doesn't have the secret ingredient in high-grade musical addiction anymore -- the connection of mood with device and content.
Beats connects the device (headphones) with the content through its curated streaming music service. The customers trust their moment to the Beats Music curated list. Then, each time a user creates an awesome playlist by connecting current music needs to the service itself -- and is rewarded with a blast of music-delivered emotion -- a reinforced feedback loop is created. Talk about customer loyalty. Talk about viral world-of-mouth marketing. Talk about shared moments hanging out with friends.
Pre-built playlists in iTunes do not invite this sort of surprised customer delight. Apples iTunes Genius just doesn't cut it. And iTunes Radio? The feeling is more akin to tolerating the stream than being connected to it.
Beats is not about headphones or a cool service with licensing deals. Beats is all about one-to-one connection of a brand and subscription service that feeds a person's soul -- and it does it with a profitable product.
I've got to believe that Apple recognized something here that is profoundly different than all the other companies that Apple could have bought.
Like Nest, for example. Nest users appreciate their smart thermostats, no doubt, but do they have a visceral addiction and appreciation for the thermostat? I doubt it. Google buying Nest is a practical way to build a home-based world of Internet-connected things. Facebook buying Oculus VR or WhatsApp is more simply about a big brand expanding its reach. Microsoft buying Nokia is a desperate attempt to wedge open the mobile device door before it slams shut forever. All these acquisitions are about acquiring very simple, tactical products.
Beats is not simple or particularly tactical.
What finally settles it for me is the realization that the acquisition of Beats Electronics is more about the acquisition of a kindred spirit than a new line of business. Sure, the executives from both companies walk entirely differently, but their cores remain similar -- they understand that customers are about experience, and companies that feed a fantastic experience are those who win.
That's worth repeating: Companies that feed a fantastic experience are those who win.
Because the collision of products and services with deep customer experience is such a rare quality, I don't think similar acquisitions are going to happen often at Apple. So yeah, the Beats acquisition is a big deal. Letting the service work with Android and Windows Phone customers is a big deal. But shifting tectonic plates in Cupertino? Not so much after all.

American Airlines
"I'm Ke$ha, fly (fuck) me !!!"
American Airlines is an AAss. And is the flAAg cAArier of AmericAA. Sucks thAAt hAAd to hAApen. AAAAAAAAA!
In 1926, AAmaar Raai was trAAnsporting an envelope filled with drug money from his cousin when he reAAlized the potential for huge profits. His original intentions were for trAAnsporting people, trAAnsporting goods, and mAAking money. Nearly identical tiny mAAil AAirlines decided to join in with his dream and they formed a small compAAny in 1930 - American Airlines Ltd.
In 1934, Cyrus Rowlett Smith becAAme president. Since this is the end of the morAAl business, no one gives a crAAp for its humble beginnings. He later became the U.S. SecretAAry of Commerce by the wAAy. In World wAAr II, C.R. creAAted a genius idea of AAllowing pAAssengers to ride on a Douglas DC-3 while the plAAne was bombing JapAAnese villAAges AAnd fishing ships. In 1942, the compAAny begAAn cAAtering services which included 'snAAck boxes'. The snAAck boxes contained expensive fruit bAArs, fish sticks, and pumpernickel bread which costs $160.45 or in todAAy's money $5,436.32. When the compAAny introduced complimentAAry grenAAdes for the pAAssengers to throw at the ground, the government called a hAAlt and fired Cyrus Rowlett for the rest of WWII. AAfter World wAAr II, the government re-hired him with the new nAAme of Cyrius Robbleman and the title as the 'Chief Executive Officer,' a position he filled until 2003 and his trAAgic death cAAused when a replAAcment knee cap snAApped and he smAAshed his fAAce into a concrete side wAAlk.
AAfter Europe was utterly destroyed and the populAAtion was pAAcified, American Airlines stAArted to do trAAns-atlantic flights. For the first time in history, AAmericans began to meet Frenchies who respected the AAmericans. UnfortunAAtely, these clAAims of respect are poorly documented and AAny media sources have fAAiled to show up. It remains either a legend or a moment in history which should be forgotten.
In 1948 the idea of coAAch service was introduced. Now AAirlines may save huge sums of money by AAllowing seats to ripped and the leAAther worn out before being replAAced. The AAir-conditioning things can AAlso be 'broken' or reAAlly turned off to sAAve costs and the flight AAttendant buttons AAltered so as to never work. American Airlines began to deteriorAAte in quAAlity and shows the first signs of its modern stAAte of shittiness.
Due to record burning by the government, AA history from the 1960's to 70's has been deleted. This hAAs nothing to do with its first unAAnnounced bankruptcy.
In 1985, American Airlines stAArted to give out Ultimate Super sAAver Discounts offering up to 70% off. When first AAnnounced, peoples' heAAds exploded from how gAAy the title was and wondered how in the hell could they give AAway those discounts! In 1986, American Airlines completed an immense underground structure cAApable of surviving
nuclear war earthquAAkes, fires, and pAArtially resistAAnt to financiAAl debt. In 1991, celebrAAtions were AAnnounced as they cAArried their one billionth customer (excluding illigal immigrants, stowAAways, secret AAgents, and children stored in the overhead compAArtment.) Gerard J. AArpey was then voted in as the president of American Airlines where he now gAAins 8.5 million dollars every year of AA's funding.

- "Tickets for $1 (does not include fuel suchAArges, AAirport taxes, government tAAxes, navigAAtion tAAxes, crew pAAyments, AAircraft mAAintenance cost and profits)"
American Airlines News[edit]
- American Airlines Annual Gov. Funding Increases by 25% - Despite recent steps forward by American Airlines, they fell thirteen steps bAAck by falling more into debt. Including disclosed and undisclosed funding now AAdd up to 2,000,000,000 dollAArs a year. AA plAAns to pAAy bAAck the debt by borrowing money from IrAAn and Sweden.
- New Food offered by American Airlines - With America Airlines recent drop in snAAck satisfAAction, AA plans to offer more food options including peAAnut butter and jelly sAAndwiches, black licorice flAAvered tAAffy, and pizzAA burritos.
- BaggAAge ClAAim System Changed - 1 out of every 5 bAAgs is either lost or found in the middle of SiberiAA years later. With this America Airlines has introduced new online baggAAge clAAim role playing gAAmes for stAAff to prAActice on. Airline staff will learn how to professionAAly deal with AAngry customers. A retail version mAAybe releAAsed in a few months.
- PlAAstic prohibited in AAirport terminals - AAfter seven lAAwsuits, AA hAAs AAnnounced it will no longer use the materiAAl plAAstic in construction, furniture, and certAAin food items. It is believed thAAt the plAAstic will be replAAced by duct tAApe, cAArdboard, and rice pAAper imported from ChinAA.
American Airlines invented the computer, as a more cost efficient and faster way to lose peoples' luggage and overbook flights. This resulted in overwhelmingly massive profits for the company. The executives were in a kerfuddle, because they couldn't allow these Sabre computer nerds to get power in the corporate hierarchy. So, in the middle of the night, they would go in, move wires around, put moths in the vacuum tubes, and otherwise screw things up. This gave the Sabre nerds so much extra work that they didn't have time to overthrow the board of directors, plot career strategy, eat lunch, or go to the bathroom (lunch and bathroom, being, coincidentally, where most of american business decisions are made).
By the 1990s Sabre had gotten all-new Macintosh computers, and the executives didn't realize that the old vacuum tubes they were vandalizing every weekend hadn't been used in 15 years. Luggage started getting lost better, and overbookings were becoming more and more profitable. Again, the executives had to do something. One of them had read a book about outsourcing, so that is what they did. Sabre was sold to Erratic Data Systems, a company Ross Perot founded in order to keep ex-Marines from going off and invading Cuba, and instead had them invading cubicles and kicking ass every day. Until of course the thing with General Motors which pretty much messed up EDS for life, so they sold Sabre off to Packard Bell.
Packard Bell used the Sabre technology to sell computers at Sears and Roebuck, but Roebuck got so digusted with the diaper-fetish forums on AOL, (prodigys were much better), that he quit, and it was just called Sears after that. Packard Bell then lost their 'inside man', and Packard had to go back to making awesome 1920s cars, while Bell had to go back to making rotary dial wooden telephones.
Sabre was then sold off to Quaker Oats, who was trying to 'outbrand' and 'diversify', two buzzwords the CEO's nephew had read about in a book at his business school. Unfortunately, losing shipments of oats and overbooking boxes of oats do not translate into profit in a commodity market. Sabre was then sold to Troy-bilt, the garden tiller manufacturer.
Troy-bilt had also been trying to diversify; because, little known to anyone, their CEO had the same nephew as the CEO over at Quaker Oats. They started making treadmill machines, and SABRE... uhh... they were .. they weren't sure what SABRE was but it was certainly diverse. Also their board member had seen a computer on the front of Family and Home Office Computing and decided 'this was the future... a television with a typewriter attached to it'.
Troy-bilt went bankrupt because Americans became too fat to go outside and do gardening anymore. Also, with gasoline costing $18 a gallon, tilling a garden would have cost the average person $800.
Sabre was then sold off to Milton Bradley, who used it to power their next generation of Simon games. Milton Bradley was bought out by Hasbro, and just as its product GI Joe would like to murder and enslave My Little Pony, Hasbro wanted to murder and enslave Sabre. Sabre was then beaten down, beaten, and beaten down some more, until Hasbro had satisfied its blood lust, siphoned off several employees and left it a smoking, empty shell of its former self.
Sabre was then sold off to an Indian multinational conglomerate, 'Technical and Electrical Agency, Tamil ltd.'. TEAT suckled Sabre for a few years, by which time TEAT headquarters actually found out what Sabre was: an airline reservation system from the 1960s. After 'discovering' this (even though a junior level accountant had been telling them for 10 years), management decided to outsource Sabre again. Management got promotions, the junior accountant got demerits on his annual review for not telling them about this problem sooner, and Sabre was sold off yet again, this time to...
American Airlines, who decided that it needed to become more profitable, since gas prices were so high. The company historian, who had been relegated to a dingy basement in the 15th underground floor down a long asbestos-lined hall with sparking fluorescent lights and malfunctioning automatic doors, knew the story and one day happened to be talking to the janitor about it. The janitor was friends with a board member's daughter, because they both were in the SCA (the people who dress up like knights and beat each other with foam-padded swords). The daughter talked to the board member, who wandered down into the basement, talked to the historian and re-bought Sabre, to bring it back into the corporate fold.
And that is where Sabre is today.
Airline Safety[edit]
Airline safety should be seen the same as its service quality - crappy. On the other hand, there really haven't been enough crashes to support that statement. A theory has been created though. Does American Airlines sacrifice goats in the cargo hold during the flight to appease the gods? In the Middle East, it's the same but with camels or anything that is available including pets. Recently, a scam has been uncovered. Pet owners are discovering that their pets have been replaced with stuffed animals. They realize this when their pet does not eat or move at all for that matter.
Even with these precautions, the company still employs other safety devices. Before every flight, a moderately attractive flight attendant points to the tiny TV screen on the ceiling. It beats having to act like a mime in front of hundreds of people though. The TV plays a video showing another flight attendant acting like a mime and messing with the odd equipment under and above a seat - equipment which, as you will discover if your flight crashes, is missing from under and over your seat. It also assures you that you will not die which is quite convincing. When the movie is finished, don't be down. Rest assured, a movie will start in another hour. Unfortunately, they are prohibiting the movie Airplane! and their sequels one, two, and three.

Gas prices are going through the roof and have been life changing for most of us. As for myself, I have found the cost unreasonable. Therefore my wife and myself have sold our car. We're back to taking public transportation.
We now take our bikes when we need to do food shopping. Added to that we decided to let our feet get us to where we need to go. We have truly gone green. Now may the many be green with envy. We are fighting OPEC by saying we don't need you.

Matt Mills McKnight / Redux
Cody Hoyt, a corporal in the Idaho regiment of the Light Foot militia, looks west over the Clark Fork River and Lake Pend Oreille near the Idaho and Montana border during an overnight cold weather training exercise.
Amid the beautiful trees, mountains and waterways of the Idaho panhandle, a burgeoning group of like-minded individuals banded together to form what they call the Idaho regiment of the Light Foot Militia.
Based on the principal that it's their right to form a constitutional militia to protect themselves and their families against any future aggressors, the Light Foot use surrounding public lands to train in military tactics and survivalist methods, preparing for the worst. Firm believers in the Second Amendment, they consider themselves the "teeth of the constitution."
"But it's more than just a gun thing," said Matt Mills McKnight, a photojournalist who has been documenting the militia for two years, photographing more than a dozen training sessions, public meetings and private occasions. "Just because they own guns, and some guns that are some really intense weapons, doesn't mean that they are any different from you or me."
McKnight pursued the story of the Light Foot after moving to northern Idaho from San Francisco in 2010. He wanted to look beyond the guns, a culture deeply rooted in all militias, and cut to the core of this organization, which started in 2009. What he found were men and women with families dealing with the same issues that all of America deals with.
"Some militias want you to be afraid of them, but they [Idaho Light Foot Militia] don't," he said. "They are a group of guys that take themselves very seriously, and they believe in this current economic climate, they need to prepare for the worst."
"Where most people are willing to take the gamble that a worst case scenario isn't going to happen, the members of the Light Foot militia have decided differently," he said.
Matt Mills-McKnight is a freelance photojournalist and photo editor based in the Pacific Northwest. He can be found on Twitter, Instagram, or mattmillsphoto.com.

(Filmmaker Aron Ranen, shown right)
Aron Ranen is a gifted filmmaker and professor who has received a litany of accolades for his groundbreaking documentaries, along with a couple of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. Here he talks about his latest opus, Black Hair, an incendiary expose' which is currently generating plenty of conversation in African-American communities all across the country. For his eye-opening investigation revealed that Koreans have come to control virtually every aspect of the multi-billion dollar, Black hair care industry, from manufacturing to distribution to retail sales, while simultaneously employing tactics to put African-American merchants and wholesalers out of business.
BSN: What compelled you to develop an interest in the Black hair care industry?
AR: I made a TV pilot with an African-American host, comedian Chey Bell who also happens to cut hair. She told me about all the dollars Black women spend on their hair. I was amazed, and decided to make a fun film about that. But when I began shooting in Oakland at a hair expo, I met some Black folks who told me of the Korean takeover.
BSN: How did you decide to make a movie about it?
AR: I knew that the Black hair biz has the potential to bring dollars and
employment to inner city neighborhoods. I decided that if my skills as a filmmaker can help, then that's my path.
BSN: Did you learn a lot about the history of the industry as you researched the subject?
AR: You should have seen my reaction when someone first told me about Madame CJ Walker...I mean, come on...this thing is fixable, doable and the film can help. And I hope Oprah leaves her legacy, just like Madame CJ, and opens up a thousand Black beauty supply shops with training, and product discounts for the employees.
BSN: Were you surprised to learn the extent of Korean domination of the hair care market?
AR: No.
BSN: Why did you put your movie on the Internet in several installments?
AR: To comply with the rules of YouTube.com.
BSN: Won't that hurt potential film sales?
AR: Perhaps… Is there money in documentary?
BSN: Ask Michael Moore. He made over $100 million with Fahrenheit 9/11. Is what the Koreans are doing, the way they've gone about taking control of the manufacture, wholesale distribution and retail sales of Black hair-care products illegal?
AR: We would need help from the NAACP to determine that. I am a filmmaker not an attorney.
BSN: Playing Devil's advocate, let me ask you if it's a form of reverse-racism to suggest that Black consumers should only buy from Black businesses?
AR: Just think, it's a business in which 99% of the customers are Black, and 99% of the owners are Korean... That just seems a little off...don't you
BSN: Yep. What has been the response of Blacks, whites and Koreans to your film?
AR: White people say it's one-sided, Koreans don't like it either, but
African-Americans give me hugs and tell me to ignore the white people.
BSN: Do you think Black people will now organize and change their behavior after being educated by your documentary?
AR: I think it will take investment bankers like William Lewis and Vernon Jordan, and major media figures like Oprah, Ed Bradley, Spike Lee, or Sean Combs to take this to the next step in terms of economic development. I mean, these giant foundations give micro-grants to poor Africans in the Sudan for pottery businesses, why can't some of that seed money go to develop Black-owned, retail hair supply stores in America?
BSN: Were you surprised when one of the Black distributors featured in your film was arrested for arson for allegedly attempting to burn down a Korean competitor who opened up down the street from him?
AR: I have no comment, since I have not seen any of the exact charges.
BSN: How did he get caught?
AR: Are you trying to get me in trouble?
BSN: I'm just asking logical questions. Why do you think the Black community is so involved with their hair that they could be 10% of the population but purchase 80% of the hair care products?
AR: That's not my area of expertise. My documentary is a simple story of the obvious truth that is out there for everyone to see. By shining the media light on it, perhaps we can spur some positive economic changes in neighborhoods that could use some good news.
BSN: When did you get interested in making movies?
AR: At the age of thirteen.
BSN: Why do you also teach filmmaking?
AR: It's fun, and I get to meet people from all over the world who attend my workshops. I also learn a great deal by teaching, and thus become a better filmmaker. I teach "Organic Documentary" at my film school in San Francisco. People interested in learn how to make their own Black Hair-style expose' should visit my website at www.dvworkshops.com.
BSN: What other projects are you working on now?
AR: A history of LSD in the Sixties is also up at YouTube.com I am looking for an investor to get it to feature-length.
BSN: Is Black Hair officially finished, or is it still a work in progress?
AR: Black Hair will only be done when we get stores open and effect some real change. Until then, I will always release updates on the web and on DVD.

so same friend Lauren (whom I mentioned for Moxyland a few days ago) has also been involved in a political satire show called ZNews, which the SABC commissioned, then canned, and then when Special Assignment did an investigative show on the canning it was then banned (just like Apartheid, eh?). the reason? the show takes the piss out of our politicians, and sadly, gov can't take it like they dish it.
ironically, the show has now been selected for screening at INPUT 2009 – the world's biggest public broadcaster conference. why? this was their reason:
"Even though is not an innovative format – it is a news parody with puppets – the question of "what are the limits of freedom of speech" can be heard in this programme. Could this be a relevant question both in Africa and beyond."
LOLcakes all round. watch the full pilot here.

Sinclair powers Canada in decisive win
Saturday, July 28, 2012
By George Johnson, Postmedia Olympic Team
COVENTRY — With one emphatic leap, she rose into the air — and out of the doldrums.
"You can only contain her for so long,'' marvelled John Herdman of his cornerstone, skipper and star, Christine Sinclair. "That's the player she is. When she's on, she's on. That's the mark of the truly great players. Some days, she's just unstoppable.''
For 30-odd minutes Saturday, South Africa simply had no answers for Christine Sinclair. She needed it. Her team did, too — not solely from an immediate competitive standpoint, but also from on ongoing psychological point of view.
Elevating to meet a pinpoint cross from midfielder Lauren Sesselmann, Sinclair powered a header off the crossbar, the ball ricocheting downward, and then picked herself up off the carpet to thunder in the rebound in the 58th minute Thursday afternoon.
The ball might even have squeaked across the line before that muscular followup.
"I wasn't,'' Sinclair would say later, "taking any chances.''
That upped a precarious lead to 2-0 and settled jangled Canadian nerves. From there, everything was infinitely easier and Canada rolled to a 3-0 verdict over the 61st-ranked Africans that has virtually put them through to the knockout round.
Latching onto a lovely Sophie Schmidt through ball in the 86th minute, Sinclair coolly slotted in her second of the match and these Olympic Games, driving her international goal total up to an astonishing 139, 19 behind all-time leader Mia Hamm of the U.S.
Anonymous during Canada's 2-1 opening loss to Japan and struggling to find a foothold through the first half versus South Africa, she could not have wriggled out of her personal straight jacket at a more opportune moment. About the only thing she did wrong during the second half was miss out on a celebratory gesture for her dad Bill's birthday.
"I totally forgot to do my celebration after I scored,'' lamented Sinclair. "I was going to'' — she cupped her hands together — "do a little heart for him. And I totally forgot.''
She never forgets how to score for long. And even if this side's dependency on her has lessened under Herdman's watch, as coach and captain both maintain, having a revitalized Sinclair for the upcoming Swedish clash Tuesday at St. James' Park, Newcastle, can't help but make everybody in the national team setup breathe easier.
Japan and Sweden are tied at four points atop the group, while Canada sits second with three.
"Something's changed in our team with John,'' said Sinclair. "I think there's a group of five or six of us that the team can count on. Whereas in the past, I don't think that was the case. So in terms of pressure on myself, it's not the same. People are stepping up. It's just the confidence John has brought to every single player.''
Herdman echoed those sentiments.
"Melissa Tancredi's scoring a lot of goals around her now. You're starting to see it's a little more than Christine. We've relied on her too long. There's other players that could've scored today, as well. I'm hoping that through the tournament Christine will come forth when she needs to. There was certainly a moment in the game when we hoped Christine would step up. And she did.''
The permutations of qualification and/or positioning are, at the moment, beyond predicting. The way things are shaping up, a first-place finish could net them France, while a third-place finish might usher on the U.S.
"I'd love to play the States in the quarter-finals,'' maintained Herdman. "I think we owe them one. I know the girls will rise to that challenge.''
When it was mentioned during the post-match media conference that a draw Tuesday might be enough to see them through, Herdman winced.
"That word 'might' is the biggest curse in football. Both coaches are probably going to look at this and say, 'There's too much at stake.' My mindset, and the team's mindset will be, to go for the result. And that's to win the game.''
The Swedish game always shaped up as Canada's crucial match. Thursday, the Tre Kroner fought to a nil-nil draw against world champion Japan in the opening match at City of Coventry Stadium. The Canadians know them well.
"They're a top-four team,'' said Herdman. "Finished third in the World Cup. They know how to win football matches. They're well-organized, disciplined. We're quite a similar team. They've just been together longer, doing the things they do longer, under the same coach. Our team is still learning things from game-to-game.
"We worked very hard since the game [against them] in March. We tried something different in March after their win in November in Phoenix. The Swedes punished us with our mistakes. What you know about Sweden is that if you're loose with possession, you're in big trouble. Big trouble. We committed three mistakes in Sweden — three — and they punished us with every single one. The risk around our possession has to be limited.''
It'll be tight, swinging on a mistake or a moment. But at least the Canadians go into this pivotal 90 with Christine Sinclair on song.
"I think anytime Christine gets on the ball,'' said midfielder Desiree Scott, "it just brings a confidence to our team. She's such a strong player, someone that can just calm us down when we need to get some calm into the game. For her to score, she's world-class, and it just settles us down and gives us that confidence we need.''
The Swedes, you just know, have taken notice.
