Team Nautique skiers joined CEO Bill Yeargin and IWWF President Kuno Ritschard to announce that Nautique has been selected as the exclusive towboat of the 2016-2019 water ski world championships. The boat selected for the world championships is the world record setting Ski Nautique. The Ski Nautique has established itself as the premier water ski boat in the industry. Since its introduction just a few years ago the Ski Nautique 200 has pulled seventeen water ski world records; no other boat is close.
"I am stoked to know now that the preparation is going to be easy and I will get the same perfect pull at the Worlds. It's great to know going to Worlds that the Ski Nautique is going to be perfect!" – Team Nautique athlete Natallia Berdnikava
"As I have traveled the world for Nautique visiting ski schools, training centers, federations, and water skiers everywhere the most common request I receive, in nearly every country, is to use the Ski Nautique in the world championships," stated Nautique President and CEO Bill Yeargin. "Our Nautique team, and water skiers all around the world, are thrilled for the Ski Nautique to be selected as the exclusive and official boat of the water ski world championships," Yeargin added.]]>
Nautique has partnered with CBS to bring back the U.S. Open of Water Skiing with a celebration of three-event skiing in the heart of downtown Orlando, Florida on Lake Ivanhoe.

Team Nautique athletes Scot "The Rocketman" Ellis and Marion "Miss Rocket" Mathieu were married earlier this month in her hometown of Monte De Marsan, France now officially "The Rockets," a match made in heaven!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Ellis!!
Team Nautique skier Nate Smith continued his reign of dominance on the water this past weekend at the California Pro-Am running 1/2@43-off behind the Ski Nautique 200 for the win. With the top 5 scores of the tournament, Nate dominated the competition to win this event for the second year in a row. This marks his fifth consecutive win since being back on the water after an injury sidelined him for 11 weeks earlier this season.
"I couldn't be more excited this weekend after winning the California Pro Am for the second year in a row. It was such a great event and the conditions could not have been any better. I had the top 5 scores of the whole tournament all behind the Ski Nautique 200. It was nice to be able to go out and focus on my skiing and what I had to do and know that I was going to have a great pull every single round!" – Nate Smith
Nautique's Whitney McClintock took the podium in second place at the event with amazing performances all weekend long running 39-off in three of four rounds. Posting the best score of the weekend, Whitney had a personal best score of 2@41-off behind the Ski Nautique 200 leading into the final where she finished with a score of 1/2@41.
"California Pro Am is such a fun event & I am so pumped Nautique is a part of it! My skiing is always so consistent behind the Ski Nautique 200… I tied my PB again this weekend with 2@41 and ran 39 a total of 3 times including the first time ever that 2 women ran it in the finals. I am proud of my performance from 2014 California Pro Am and look forward to the Nautique U.S. Open next month!! " – Whitney McClintock]]>
JD Webb got to work this season with Nautique videographer Spencer Norris and produced some really amazing web edits. JD's riding has been on fire all season long and he has truly reinvented himself and added a style all his own into the mix charging behind his Super Air Nautique G23. This video, titled "Another One Down" earned JD and Spencer "Web Video of the Year" at this year's Transworld Wake Awards held during Surf Expo earlier this month.
"Winning web edit of the year was huge for me. Spencer Norris and I put in a lot of hard work over the past year with this goal in mind and the win meant a lot. Having a boat like the G23 to ride behind every day gave me the advantage to take my riding to another level and land tricks that have never been done in our industry." – JD Webb
Team Nautique rider Noah Flegel took third place in the Nautique USA National Wakesurf Championships over Labor Day weekend at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA. The event was towed exclusively behind the Super Air Nautique G23 putting out a huge wave for a field of both amateur and professional riders and giving them the ability to transfer during their run if they choose for the first time ever at the Nationals.
"I had a great time at the Nationals and the wave behind the G23 was awesome. This was the first time people have seen wave transfers being done in a contest and I see it becoming a large part of the sport thanks to the Nautique Surf System! A big thanks to Nautique for supporting wakesurfing and I can't wait for the next one. " –Noah Flegal

Hind Motors declares suspension of work at WB plant
As the presence of the yellow Ambassador taxis are fading despite its strong signature in the City of Joy, Hindustan Motors Ltd, popularly known as Hind Motor, declared a "suspension of work" at its Uttarpara plant in West Bengal on Saturday.
The effect was taken as company's efforts are falling short of the large liabilities.
"Pursuant to clause 36 of the Listing Agreement we would like to inform that the Company has declared suspension of work at its Uttarpara Plant with effect from 6:00 AM of 24th May, 2014," the company said in a statement to the bourses.
"The Company has been transparent in sharing updates about the worsening conditions at its Uttarpara Plant which include low productivity, growing indiscipline, critical shortages of funds, lack of demands for its core product the Ambassador and large accumulation of liabilities," it said.
Given the present circumstances, the company said it had, "no alternative but to declare a suspension of work at its Uttarpara Plant with effect from May 24. The suspension of work will enable the company to have some space to restructure the organisation, debts, etc. As of today the company has been trying to restructure a running organisation - the suspension of work will, we are hoping, allow us to focus more on the restructuring."
With the emergent of the Mamata Banerjee-led-government and her likeness for white and blue colours, several taxis are also now seen painted same and they proudly claim themselves as No Refusal taxis in a city where refusal to passengers is more the norm.
According to officials, some 33,000 Ambassador taxis are running in Kolkata every day.
Most taxi drivers in Kolkata are migrants. Rajesh Paswan, 37, who drives an Ambassador for the past ten years in Kolkata after he migrated to the city from Bihar, sounded sad.
"We still can't imagine the city without yellow Ambassador cabs," says Singh.
Even several veteran Kolkatans still prefer an Ambassador in the name of hiring a cab.
Hindustan Motors Limited was established during the pre-Independence era at Port Okha in Gujarat.
Operations were moved in 1948 to Uttarpara in district Hooghly, West Bengal, where the company began the production of the iconic Ambassador in 1958

BUFFALO (WKBW) Jeffrey Basil, 35, of Amherst, surrendered to Buffalo Police last night in the company of his attorney.
Basil, who is no relation to the Basil Family Auto Dealerships, was booked and appeared in City Court this morning. He is being held on $250,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court again next Friday at 10am for a Felony Hearing.
BUFFALO (WKBW) Eyewitness News was the first to bring you the details that two officers were being investigated along with Molly's Pub over a weekend assault at the bar.
Now Molly's Pub has been shut down after a local airman was badly beaten and thrown down a flight of stairs according to police. Bill Sager, a crew chief at the Niagara Falls Airbase, remains in the hospital after he was found unconscious on Main Street in the University District early Sunday morning.
Police sources tell us there were two Buffalo Police officers at Molly's that night, working off-duty as bouncers. It is illegal for police officers to work in liquor-licensed establishments in New York State. Chief Dennis Richards would not comment on if the officers were involved in the assault.
Richards cited a city ordinance that allows the police commissioner to close establishments like Molly's given "an emergency."
"It's believed that a 28 year old individual was pushed down a flight of stairs inside the bar. And what we're doing is trying to get to the bottom of exactly what took place, how it took place, who is involved, including the presence of two Buffalo Police officers who are now on paid administrative leave," Richards said.
Buffalo Police are asking for the public's help and for anyone at Molly's or who witnessed what happened to come forward, especially with video or photo evidence.
Sagar remains in critical condition at ECMC. Sources say the FBI has been contacted regarding this case because of the presence of police officers. Molly's is currently closed.

The Ravens brought a host of defensive backs to camp, and it looks like two of them made an impression. Aaron Wilson of Ravens Insider broke the news on Twitter that the Ravens have signed both Aaron Ross and Dominique Franks.
Ross is a former first round pick of the Giants, and has spent seven of his eight seasons in New York. He has 11 interceptions and 2.5 sacks across 83 games. He drew little interest this offseason at the age of 32, but certainly has some experience and could prove to be quality depth.
Franks played in all 16 games for the Falcons last year. He is quite a bit younger than Ross at 27, and has spent his entire four season career in Atlanta. Franks has three career interceptions but none since 2011.
Franks will likely end up just serving as a camp body, as he just hasn't shown much in four seasons. The fact that he only played 13 snaps in 16 games last year for a corner needy team is telling. Ross has a decent chance to stick if he stays healthy. He would ideally be nothing more than a fourth or fifth DB at this point in his career. The Ravens are likely hoping one of their young corners steps up to claim the #3 spot behind starters Ladarius Webb and Jimmy Smith.
What do you think about today's signings?

Seattle • There's no time to dwell on that serious reminder.
Losing 4-0 to a Western Conference rival on the road — despite being undermanned and perhaps derailed by crucial calls Saturday in Seattle — could serve as a turning point for Real Salt Lake. Believe it or not, RSL (6-1-6) has a more difficult road ahead of itself, even in the wake of its first loss of 2014.
Real Salt Lake at Columbus CrewWednesday,5:30 p.m.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
On Sunday, RSL boarded a plane not back to Salt Lake International Airport, but toward the Buckeye State. Now five points behind the league-leading Sounders, RSL's first three-game-in-a-week trek goes to Columbus to take on the 4-5-4 Crew.
"Quick turnaround, which is great," said goalkeeper Jeff Attinella. "Not a lot of time to think about [the Seattle loss]. We knew this was going to be a tough stretch. Whether we lost 1-0 or 4-0, it really didn't matter. We knew we were going to have to get a result in one of these next two games."
Against somewhat of a two-faced Columbus side on the road, who knows what side of the Crew RSL might see Wednesday evening at Crew Stadium. To be fair, the question remains: Which RSL side will show up three days after being railroaded at CenturyLink Field?
Three starting-XI staples aren't returning anytime soon.
Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando are off prepping for the World Cup, which starts in 11 days. Alvaro Saborio is out 3 to 4 months with a broken fifth metatarsal on his right foot. And most important of all: Someone needs to find a way to create dangerous chances on the heels of being shut out in its last two outings. Especially with a match upcoming so swiftly and another against Portland on Saturday.
"It's good that we're playing Wednesday," said defender Tony Beltran, "because I think that this is a mature group, and we're ready to rebound from this game already. The mood in the locker room is we want to get back out there because we know we're better than that."
The turnaround to prove its mettle is a flash.
"We're obviously thin," said midfielder Ned Grabavoy. "Our depth is going to be tested even more so Wednesday night, so we knew these three games before this [World Cup] break were going to be difficult. There's going to be a lot of guys probably called on Wednesday that need to step up."
Could be Carlos Salcedo. Could be Rich Balchan. Could be Robbie Findley. Could be Joao Plata. Any number of players might earn the nod against the Crew Wednesday ahead of RSL's home match with rival Portland on Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium. Plata missed the Seattle match with his lingering left hamstring injury, aggravated once more against FC Dallas on May 24, but might be available. Chris Schuler, held out of the lineup against the Sounders to avoid the turf, could return.
It's a series of question marks. And RSL knows it has its hands full once more on the road.
"Every team in this league is good at home," defender Nat Borchers said.

13 thoughts on "Body Wrap With Vicks Vapor Rub"
Can someone help me get rid of stretch marks?
I have some on my theighs, knees, and the back of my calfs.
I've tried bio-oil and it didn't really work too well
And I've used some vitamin E cream but it didn't do anything.
I'm 15 and have had them for about 2 years.
I used to be a bit overweight and I dropped a lot of weight which is probably the cause for it.
I heard vicks vapor rub works good.
I have this cold that I woke up with, and now I have these piercing pains in the side of my head?
They last like half a second.
They hurt really badly, and are coming and going a couple of times each minute…
What is it, what can I do??
How can I rejuvenate my body?
I got sick a few months ago with mono and I think that took a lot out of me. Since then I do not have the same energy level and can barely make it through an 8 hour work day. What can I do?
Do you have a passed down family remedy for anything?
I am curious about your remedies for whatever. Here is one of my favorite I will pass on to you. Dryer Sheets to get rid of soap scum. Get a few of those wet and start wiping your shower or tub down….rinse. So easy, works fast and is not harmful to eyes or skin. Can be used on glass enclosed showers as well……you wont believe how clean it gets.
That is an excellent idea for the tub and shower, thank you. Now here are mine, they are mostly medicinal. Kerosene will stop bleeding. Flaxseed oil tablets 2 daily will lower your cholesterol. Wet tobacco will take the pain from a bee sting. If you get a tick, just put Vaseline over it, it will eliminate the oxygen and the tick will turn lose of you and die or you can just remove it and burn it. If you have a sore throat or chest cold put Vicks Vapor Rub on the area and it will break up the stuff in your lungs, just be sure to wash it off before you go outside. A drop of kerosene on a sugar cube will help you open your sinuses and break up the infection in your lungs. Every spring take a teaspoon of caster oil in orange juice or any juice. It will purge your body of any infections and works to help your immune system work better and it will definitely clean your clocks if you know what I mean. If you get a splinter in your finger wrap the finger in a slice of raw bacon, it will help push the splinter out so you can get hold of it with tweezer's and remove it, also raw fat or raw bacon will bring zits and blemishes to a head and you can pop them with a pin and use two fingers to pull on the area, never push a zit or blemish, it damages your skin, and the muck in the zit or blemish will come out. You can clean brass with Brillo pads. Crushed mint leaves and lay them wherever you see the ants will keep ants out of your home. To keep rabbits and other animals out of your vegetable or flower garden, just throw some moth balls in them, this also helps keep snakes away. When you water your inside plants use lukewarm water, cold water can shock the plant and cause it to die. Always cut your rose bushes just above the first 5 leaves on the stalk and cut all flowers at an angle, they retain water better and will last twice as long. If you are terribly constipated and nothing is working, take a tablespoon of Epsom Salts into warm water, do not leave the bathroom and do not sneeze, it works that fast.

How to get rid of a cough and hoarse voice?
Im coughing and having to clear my throat afterwards and my voice is hoarse its really annoying, ive been taking medicne but its not helping any unfortunatly….. Someone please help and give me some tips to help it fast
6 Weird Ways to Stop Coug: coughing is a reflex that forcefully expels air from our lungs. It clears the respiratory system, including your lungs and throat, of irritants, foreign particles and congestion. Coughing is a good thing, but it can be annoying, especially if it won't stop. If you need a remedy and are willing to try new things, read this informative article and find out 6 weird ways to stop coughing.
1. Drink a Cup of Hot Cocoa
Scientists have discovered that chocolate contains theobromine, an alkaloid of the cacao plant. Theobromine subdues the vagus nerve activity in your body which is what makes you cough. Not only is it more effective than taking a cough syrup containing codeine, but drinking hot cocoa has no side effects.
2. Use a Cold Washcloth or Ice Cubes
To stop a cough, run a washcloth under very cold water; wring it out. Lie down flat and wrap the cloth around your throat. Cover it with a hand towel. Or, put some small ice cubes in your mouth. Either way, the coldness will help numb the nerves in your throat.
3. Vicks VapoRub to the Rescue
Another weird way to stop coughing if it's caused by a cold or the flu is to rub Vicks VapoRub generously on the soles of your clean feet. Put on a pair of cotton socks and climb into bed. The medicated vapors will help clear the congestion so you can breathe easier.
4. Raise Your Hands
The next time you start coughing, simply raise both of your hands up and over your head. It's not clear exactly why this works, but it's thought that raising your hands expands your lung capacity making it easier to breathe.
5. Take a Steamy Hot Shower or Bath
Breathe in the steam from a shower or bath and it will moisturize your dry throat and nasal passages. If you're congested, it will help loosen and clear out the mucus. If your coughing is due to allergies, the steam will help clear out pollen and other allergens.
6. Eat Raw Honey, and Maybe Add Some Garlic
Get a heaping spoon of raw honey and eat it. This sweet remedy will soothe your throat and calm your cough. If the cough is accompanied by congestion, place a little minced garlic on top of the honey.
I just had a very heavy cold which has moved to my chest, how long will it take to go away?
I have been hacking up this yellow/green stuff for a day now, and it is very heavy and is really unpleasant. What is the best way to get this cough gone, and how long will it take to go?
Yellow/green is an indication of the infection itself…it's a good sign that it is loosening up and you are coughing it up. Drinking plenty of hot liquids helps in this as well. There really is no quick fix..just medications that either mask or make the symptoms more tolerable.
Some cough colds can last up to a month or more.
It's not a myth or old folk lore to abide by the advice…plenty of rest,drink lots of fluids and try to keep up your strength and eat.
If you are not getting the necessary rest your body will remain weak and not be able to do it's job of fighting this virus. The fluids help to flush out the germs your body is trying so hard to expel..and the hot part..well, it works better than cold.. and warms your chills if you have them as well as being the best at breaking up phlegm or mucous that your body needs to get rid of.
I know you may not like to hear it..but "vicks" vapour rub is awesome at doing wonders to break up this cough cold (the original is a petroleum gel but since have brought out a cream version..less messy) Personally, I think the petroleum would work better..I dunno…bottom line is,it's a great remedy.
You apply a thin layer on your chest and upper back…can also apply it on the lower back area.. put a t-shirt on over it to eliminate feeling cold and to absorb any excess ointment. Putting on your neck is even better..where a turtle neck or when my kids were small at bed time I just loosely wrapped a sock around their neck (not tied!! yikes) like a short scarf. Besides, I didn't mind if the gel couldn't be washed out completely..You many need to tuck two socks into one another to elongate the material..you can pin it in place if need be..then tuck it into your shirt collar to stay in place. Here's the secret…To be even more effective I always applied the rub to the bottoms of their feet..and then nice thick socks over top to keep them warm. The down falls don't come close to the wonders of this stuff – It smells strong, it can be messy and stain any good clothing(petroleum gel) and it sounds very weird/strange BUT it WORKS…
Good Luck..you have nothing to loose but your cough/cold
How do I keep safe while cleaning a hoarders "home" ?
A elderly friend is living in hoarding condition, neighbors cats have brought fleas into the home, and now i'm not sure how I can go over and help clean anymore without putting myself at risk, between the unbreatheable air and the fleas seemingly embedded between every layer of newspaper and filth…
What are some precautions I can take to be able to work in these conditions, or to be able to help without risk of my own health?
are there natural remedies such as herbal tea to heal colds?
I would take vicks vapor rub & put it on the outer part of my nose & get some hot water boiling (be very careful you don't spill this on yourself) I take a towel & wrap it around my head. & I breathe in the hot water. This loosens up the mucus & I blow my nose til i can get most of it out…I drink alot of water to get it thined out…I believe in metaphysics which is the study of the mind body connection. When someone has a cold they are confused about something. They don't want to be around others. So when you clear your mind the cold will go away. When you find a positve reason not to be with others you won't need the cold. If yo believe you always get a cold in July then you will.

We always get things a tad later than other countries, but I guess we get them eventually... :) These are both coming out for retail (David Jones etc.) in August 2012 in Australia:
The Minnie Mouse collection will be available earlier in some salons. I'm quite excited about the Germany collection, less so about the Minnie Mouse (pink is a sometimes polish for me). Lots of slightly muted bold hues - bold but somewhat utility chic is right up my alley! But it's so difficult to work out what the colour will actually look like from mocked-up bottle shots. I'm eyeing off the purples and the mustard... although the mustard really should've been named after currywurst I think, you can't walk a hundred metres in Berlin without hitting a currywurst cart!

Bring 'Em On: Armor Hunters #1 Review
- Written by David Mitchell on Wednesday, June 11 2014 and posted in Reviews
X-O Manowar has been one of the brightest success stories of the many revivals we've seen in the past several years. X-O Manowar was one of the original launch titles of Valiant back in the early 90s and also one of the most hard-hit by the industry crash later that decade. The relaunch of the franchise brought critical and financial success for Valiant, enough so that they feel confident in investing in the highly dangerous game of a major crossover event series.
Armor Hunters #1 is the first of four issues, a portion of a larger 18-issue arc that Valiant is vying for. As someone with relatively little experience with the franchise, I actually found it to be a fairly interesting and approachable issue. The issue concerns itself with the arrival of two powerful foes looking to hunt down Aric, the handsome armored protagonist of X-O.
The writing, credit Robert Venditti, is snappy and effective. Dialog is direct without feeling too artificial, and the pacing is quite well balanced. The story exchanges settings and tones several times in it's short run-time but never feels frantic or disorganized- each scene is key for establishing stakes and imparting atmosphere. There are some talking robots who are a bit silly in their regimental language, but otherwise, I don't take much issue with any of the writing. It's not mind-blowing stuff but as a functional component within the larger narrative, everything about the first issue's plotting is effective as an introductory chapter.
Artistically I'm quite pleased by the book, though, nothing is blowing me away. It's on the good side of "house style". Character rendering isn't particularly cartoonish, but it doesn't feel as though it's been traced atop a photograph either. Characters are specific and believable, anatomically sound and effectively expressive. Artist Doug Braithwaite is clearly quite comfortable with his human subjects. There's not a lot of action in the book to comment on, but the other segments are quite successful in using framing and palette to match the tone of the writing. Backgrounds can be a bit hit or miss, but the good ones are noticeably good and the weak ones are easy to overlook.
The colors, handled by Laura Martin, are good overall. They're tight and professional, clearly digital but without the gross synthetic gradients that sometimes show up in these kinds of things. Human skin is particularly well rendered, with a nice warmth and subtlety to it.
All in all it's a very strong start to a new event arc, and it's good enough that I'm eager to look back and read more into the characters and setting. It's not a smash-bang-must-read wallet-grabber, but it's easily one of the best books I read this week.

Yesterday I Had the Bluesby Jeron Ashford Frame
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Ever had the blues? Yesterday one boy had them bad--not just the ordinary blues, the "deep down in my shoes" blues, the "go away Mr. Sun quit smilin' at me" blues. But today he's traded in those blues for greens, the "runnin' my hands along the hedges" greens, the kind of greens that make him want to be Somebody.
With text that begs to be read aloud, and bold, colorful paintings, this book will have readers big and small pondering the spectrum of moods and how they can change from day to day.
A young boy ponders the spectrum of moods--how they change from day to day and why it's okay that they do. Full color.

Everything teeters profoundly on complicated and simple. But everything is not complicated it is for the most part simple. Say what you want. Feel what you want. Express anger, sadness, happiness when you want. For your sake do what you want. For in the end you can either be the person who tried or the person who gave up. Everything is hard, but being honest shouldn't be.
'Twas the week before finals, and all through the town
Not a student was drinking, not a frat made a sound
The adderall popped and the coffee was drank
In hopes that your mind won't suddenly blank
The guys and the chicks depart from their beds
While visions of passing danced around in their heads
Crammed cafes and library dates
Regretting the days that you slept in late
While out on the campus there struck a big nerve
Of Asian kids sprinting to screw up the curve
The readings you ignored pile up to the ceiling
Our asses are saved by Wikipedia stealing
Time home for Thanksgiving was a bittersweet tease
Come back to find College screwing you on your knees
Facebook and Twitter prove a hefty temptation
Earning your citizenship in the procrasti-NATION
Increasingly worrisome for that borderline class
Friday nights out made it impossible to pass
All the moments we said "at least I have time"
Well the time has come…. did you do it? Neither did I.
Stressed and starved and screwed and sorry
That we skipped lecture to eat Chipotle and watch Maury
Sit down to find that you forgot your ID
…and your blue book, and pencil, and scantron–F*** ME!
Exams handed out, the questions complex
Pray that it's over, like a night of bad sex
Winter break so close we can almost taste it
High School friends, kegs, spending every night wasted
Eyes begin wandering while we're cramped in our seats
That one kid is dragged out for trying to cheat
Smelly dude next to me, chill bro you're fine!
Lord knows that your grade will be better than mine
Hand in the exam, relieved that it's done
It's been real, Econ 100, but the furthest from fun
One down, three to go, and to all that relate:
I need a beer.

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

What Would Khaleesi Wear?
Her Hair like this!
So, there is no tutorial for this, but this is pretty simple, actually!
- For girls like me with unruly curls, best to use product and sraighten your hair first! (If you are blessed with non-frizzy hair, ignore this!)
- Tie hair up in high, tight ponytail.
- Start a two-strand braid from two small pieces of hair both on one side of the ponytail.
- Every three or four crossings of the braids, take a thin bunch from the other side of the ponytail and join it with the closest strand of the two-strand braid and keep on going. Don't make it tight! keep it loose as you continue.
- Repeat this.
If it still seems difficult and you all reply to me saying it's confusing, I promise I'll post up a more detailed tutorial, pictures included.
Is this clear enough?

- Needs improvementLuv2dineDined on 10/29/2014Interesting menu.small portions.poor service.i have eaten here before. The waiter knew the menu and served us well.our waiter had difficulty understanding our drink selection which was on the menu.he brought our main items incorrectly. He brought the wrong dessert.forgot to get us the bill.Special Features:
- EnjoyableOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 10/28/2014Took some friends that had not been before. They really enjoyed it. Food was well prepared and we polished off our dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is Great; Service Less SoOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/16/2014The food is reliably good here and the menu offerings are interesting and broad enough to meet a range of appetites. However, yet again, our initial server was something less than stellar. She was attentive and was ready to take our orders long before we were prepared to give them to her. But her ability to serve was somewhat hampered as her language skills did not appear to be up to understanding our drinks order. She also wasn't very skilled at the use of the corkscrew. Perhaps a little more training is in order before the student staff is let loose on the public.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- racergillesOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/16/2014The food was quite good but I didn't think that the service was all it should have been. The food was not hot when it arrived and the waiter had to be asked for water. Just not attentive. I realize that they are learning but there didn't seem to be anyone keeping an eye on them. And the coffee was lukewarm and although we asked for milk ,we got cream.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/14/2014Excellent place to eat and try the up and coming chefs of Toronto.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cool concept!anonymousDined on 10/10/2014Food was more than excellent, atmosphere was great! It did feel like the students were walking on egg shells. Would have appreciated some warmer and friendlier service and more relaxed staff/students.Special Features:
- Another really good mealtoukolouDined on 10/10/2014This was the second time we dined at The Chefs' House and we again had a really well executed meal. Considering this is a student run operation, they really provide a top notch experience. The service was good, the food was excellent both in portion size (though there was some unevenness between the same courses at our table) and in flavour, and the overall experience was really positive. Beyond this, $47 for a four course meal of this calibre, coupled with wines only marked-up 100%, in this city, can't be beat. We wouldn't hesitate to return.
- good dinnig expereinceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/8/2014Servers were pleasant,the environment pleasant, clean environment and the food was appealing..wished the bread came to the table warm instead of cold..Special Features:
- Spouse's birthday dinnerRetiredtorontoDined on 10/6/2014I bought a wagjag dinner for two. Service and meal was excellent.staff were attentive and were eager to please. Would definitely recommend to friends who have not been to the chef's house for lunch or dinnerSpecial Features:
- threetodineDined on 10/3/2014I found the restaurant to be very cold in temperature. The only problem I had was that our waitress did not speak sufficient English to explain dishes or even take the order. We had to point to what we wanted on the menu. My latte was not hot and I did not want yo ask her as she would not have understood. Otherwise we had a great time.Special Features:
- Lovely dining experienceKimDDined on 10/2/2014The food is delicious and beautifully presented. Service is attentive. The students do a marvelous job. Unfortunately it was not overly busy and deserves to be given the food quality. The prices are perhaps a little high given it is a culinary school but otherwise would be on par with any other upscale restaurant in Toronto. I have been to the Chef's House a number of times and would highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OK2luvfoodDined on 9/30/2014The sodium level of veal main course was too high and not consistent. The server did not know how to properly serve the bottle of wine, i.e. letting you have a taste before pouring the wine.Special Features:
- Very Good!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/30/2014The menu is an exceptionally interesting list of choices. It was difficult to decide, but I chose roasted corn soup, which had great presentation and flavour! Followed that with a cod cake, which was so pretty that I sent a photo to my fussy son-in-law before taking a bite.Special Features:
- It's still SeptemberTorontodinerDined on 9/26/2014The Chef's Table is a teaching restaurant and it is only September, so the students at the restaurant have only been there for a couple of weeks. We visited on a Friday, which is their busiest night. The open kitchen had no fewer than 14 student chefs busy at work, and it was interesting to see the plating captured on screens around the restaurant. The quality of the food was very good, but the service appeared confused. Servers were unfamiliar with the beverage list and asked frequently what stage of the meal we were at. "Are you waiting for mains?" We were visited by three or four different servers, so perhaps it was a case of broken telephone. Will visit again in a couple of weeks.Special Features:
- TheTasterDined on 9/25/2014I ordered the cod cake as the main entree. The sauce of the dish is a little bit sour. However, the cod cake is flavourless. Also the server needs more training and practice.
- amazing mealbeelbyDined on 9/24/2014First time at The Chef's House---Food was amazing and service was top notch. Staff were very attentive and the plates were all amazingly presented. highly Recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DaphneDined on 9/23/2014Each bite of the appetizers was a burst of flavours in my mouth. Will definitely return!Special Features:
- LunchNunezpaulDined on 9/23/2014Bright and ultra modern clean decor. Lots of light. The food was tasty and plated beautifully.Special Features:
- pleasantly surprised - great foodbillandkellyDined on 9/19/2014my wife and i are tough to please. we eat well and we cook well. without knowing what to expect from the Chef's House we were both very impressed with the food, the attentive service and efficiency. everything they served was extremely well prepared, from fish in parchment to sous vide lamb. we were in and out within 75 minutes, without feeling rushed. service was right there all the time. surroundings were functional/interesting but comfortable. not a 'romantic' night out but great for those who really enjoy their food and want a regular go-to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/19/2014Food was excellent and perfectly cooked. Service was great. Made our 30th wedding anniverary a very special day. I love this restaurant.Special Features:
- With food allergies - left illOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Although my reservation clearly provided notice of my food allergies (and recommended alternatives to facilitate accomodation) the staff were unwilling to make me a cocktail that was not "on the menu" and my entree (of which I could only stomach half) made me ill (likely due to an ingredient that I asked to be excluded). This was one of the poorest dining experiences I've had this season in the core.
- Excellent qualityOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014See and experience Canada's future top chefs in action. Great quality every time. A Toronto mustSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner at The Chef's HouseBigTimoDined on 9/18/2014My wife and I came in on a weekday night to check out the Chef's House. We liked the environment and it wasn't too busy. We loved all the food and made sure we divided and conquered the menu. We had 4 courses each and picked different courses for every meal. All the food was amazing and there was a lot of different options for people looking for all different tastes. Our biggest issue was the service. We understand that our server is learning and being September probably just starting out. The server had issue with explaining the soup of the day and even though we got our first appetizer pretty quickly it was about an hour until our next appetizer came out. It got sorted and everyone was very apologetic. Otherwise we had a great time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very ImpressedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/16/2014We were very impressed with the menu choices. The presentation of the food was outstanding. You almost wanted to preserve the picture and not touch the food. The service was a tad slow, but we were not in a hurry. We will be returning to the Chefs' House again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, slow serviceJoMaBiDined on 9/16/2014It's exactly what you'd expect of a training school, the food was well executed and interesting, but the wait staff were clearly not experienced. We ended up waiting 50 minutes for our entree (we did get our appetizer relatively promptly). If you've got good company and have the time, it's still worthwhile, but set aside two hours (we'd only set aside 90 min, so we were rushing).Special Features:
- Great Firt ExperienceJLR68Dined on 9/12/2014Eventhough the students were in their first week in the restaurant, they all handled themselves VERY well. With the guidance of their educator, they asked focued questions behind the scene and handled their respective tasks well. The food was beautifully plated and the servers were attentive. There was only one long delay before getting the entee but after a twenty minute wait, the rest of the meal went smoothly. We'll definitely return.Special Features:
- Great food - amusing serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/9/2014The menu is creative. The flavors are wonderful. The hospitality trainees make some mistakes, but they try so darn hard!! It is fun to watch the ever-so-patient, skilled manager coaching them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Training Resto needs more schoolDannyBDined on 8/15/2014I know this is a training restaurant, but I was still quite disappointed. Our main server seemed to know very little about the menu and offerings and had to go ask about 4 of our questions. On a whole, the environment was nice. Food was only OK, nothing to write home about. There are many set menus in Toronto in the $50-65 range ($9 - 24 higher) which blow my mind on taste.. The experience was overpriced when considering the service and quality of food. I was hoping for more from a training restaurant.
- VivianVIPDined on 8/15/2014I had pork belly with a kind of pasta that I've never heard of before. The server could have offered more details about the pasta than simply calling it "a kind of noodle". The most disappointing part of the meal was that the entire dish was absolutely oily!
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/13/2014The food was good but not really outstanding. Our waiter was rather nervous but attentive. Was constantly refilling our water glasses. His biggest fault was that he did not clear the table of empty dishes even after returning to the table several times. He should have been clearing the dishes so we could enjoy our cappuccinos free of a cluttered table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a treat!SuchowDined on 8/11/2014I am so lucky to have the Chef's House in my neighbourhood and I love introducing friends to it. The service is always attentive and polite. The food is attractively presented but more importantly, always delicious. The unexpected "amuse bouche" and freshly baked bread with butter creates "oohs and ahhs" before the meal even begins. It is always a fun place to visit.Special Features:
- I cannot believe is cook by studentMisterNegativeVIPDined on 8/8/2014The food is amazing, however the service is OK, I believe I got a very nervous student. But overall very good experience.Special Features:
- Nice experienceTeresaVIPDined on 8/8/2014Really good food and highly attentive serving staff. Worth the visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A Happy PlacecapegirardeauVIPDined on 7/31/2014This restaurant is staffed (in the kitchen and front of house) by students in the culinary program at George Brown College. They are enthusiastic and obviously proud of their work. The room is lovely and the food (three or four course prix fixe with three or four choices for each course) interesting and well prepared. There were some glitches in the service, but it was less annoying than it would have been in a regular restaurant.Special Features:
- Great ExperiencesmudgieDined on 7/25/2014We were the first ones seated for dinner. The waiter was attentive but I think a bit nervous. It may have been his first time. Food came quickly and it was great being able to watch our food being prepared on the TV monitors. The food was excellent. All 3 courses were amazing. We used a Wagjag deal and it was worth it. We recently did a Summerlicious dinner somewhere else and this was by far a better meal. Everyone should give it a try. We will be back.Special Features:
- Great celebrationNeenaDined on 7/24/2014It was a birthday celebration and several people from the restaurant came by to wish happy birthday. Food was delicious and beautifully plated, just as I was expecting it. Next time I want to pay more attention to the TV screens where you can see the chefs cook. Overall a very delicious experience and I would like to be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

This time around, the desserts were the best part of the meal. The pate appetizer was excellent, the salad very tiny and just OK. For the main courses, the veal cheeks were tasty and innovative, the fish dish very disappointing. I would not have ordered it had I known that the fish was sitting on sauteed (tough) kale (my most least favoured veg). We did have a very accommodating server, Mike, so, all-in-all, an OK meal.I would recommend this to a friend.

Like something Jason Bourne would have in his cool-guy spy kit, the FLIR ONE is the first ever thermal imaging device for your iPhone.
FLIR ONE detects infrared energy and converts it into an electronic signal, allowing you to see in the dark, observe invisible heat sources, compare relative temperatures, see through smoke, and even see through some materials.
The device attaches to your iPhone 5 or 5s like a protective case does. It displays a live thermal image on the phone's screen and is capable of capturing still images and videos. Captured images are directly saved to the camera roll and can be easily shared on your favorite social media apps.
FLIR points out that, "Heat sensed by an infrared camera can be very precisely measured, allowing you to use the FLIR ONE in a variety of practical and fun ways by revealing a thermal world not visible to the unaided eye." It powers itself so there is no additional power drain on your phone. An onboard battery source powers the device for more than two hours of continuous use and in fact, can also be configured to boost your phone's battery life by 50 percent if needed.
The FLIR ONE will be released during Spring 2014 for a price just shy of $350. Good news for Android users, FLIR ONE will be made available for select Android models and will be available later in the year. FLIR reports that a software development kit to develop FLIR ONE apps will be available in Q1 2014. We look forward to seeing what apps come out for this innovative device.

It's been trending on Twitter and posted all over the web; it's mainly hearsay at the moment but there's noise regarding Google's latest attempt at creating a Social Networking site, Google Circles.
It started on Friday, The Next Web claimed that 'Google Me' or now known as 'Google Circles' was going to be launched this year at the I/O conference in May. The word gathered pace and come the weekend, it was claimed that Google would be announcing it even sooner. Read Write Web's blog claimed the service would be launched at the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference, which is currently taking place in Austin, Texas.
Google Circles may have your head in a spin
It's been reported that Google Circles is all about boundaries. In real life we have them; we interact with different groups and talk to different people. Some of our conversations remain private, whilst others we share. So why can't it be like that with social media either?
Well it's believed that's exactly what Google have been thinking too. They've realised that current social media platforms operate on a, tell one, tell all basis. When we update our statuses on Facebook or tweet on Twitter everyone can read them all at once. Communication doesn't work like this in real life, unless you're a Town Crier, and I'm pretty sure that if we all went around talking like Town crier's, at some point, we would all snap.
As its name suggests, we all operate within different social circles; circles of friends, family and colleagues; we have different circles within those circles too. It's more than just a black and white distinction between public/private communication; we can do that already, send a private message instead of posting something publicly. Rather it's a development of the sophisticated nuances involved within our everyday language, adding context and personas to conversations; the different conversations that we have within our different circles.
It's a relatively straightforward concept to conceive, the problem however is in its design and development, something we have no indication about whatsoever. What we do know is that a former Google employee called Paul Adams, who is now at Facebook may have planted the seed which has now become Google Circles.
It's believed that Google Circles is based on Adams' concepts of the deficiencies current surrounding social networks. So, adding dynamism and context to the perceived linear mode of conversation which currently exists. In addition it's also believed that Chris Messina and Jonathon Sposato are involved, both of whom are incredibly successful at creating innovative software.
Unfortunately, neither gentlemen are commenting on the story, nor is Google who are remaining predictably tight lipped. Why are they being so coy? Perhaps the failings of Google Buzz and Wave may explain that one. With it being an important part of their plans, and considering social networking's domination on the web, I guess Google want to make sure they have got this one right.
Is it Possible?
There's no telling the truth in any of the rumours that have surfaced; but we do know that Google have announced the integration of 'social layers across their services' [See: Social Search: Google and Bing Announce Updates], whether this actually means a full on social networking platform remains to be seen.
Considering social media is in its infancy, its evolution is inevitable and the idea that Google are rumoured to have created is welcomed news. Whether or not they will have the application to turn a great idea into a great service, is however, another thing.

Be interested to see how they make this work or will it be just another social networking platform to add to the hundreds that are already out there!
James 15th March 2011
Absolutely, if the rumours are true, it sounds excellent and I hope they do make it work. Its inevitable social media will evolve, whether its Google at the forefront of that development remains to be seen.
Stephen 15th March 2011
The cynic in me can't help but think this is going to be another Google 'social' product that just misses the mark. Will the social circles make it different enough to attract users from Facebook? Probably not.
It does sound like they've learnt from the mistakes of Wave and Buzz to create a networking platform that will interest users, but it's a saturated market and their track record is pretty woeful when it comes to original social products. Android and Gmail integration could help push early popularity, but I can't see this eclipsing Facebook or even Twitter – certainly if these reports are to be believed.
Of course it might all be a load of nonsense anyway, and it wouldn't be the first time speculation turned out to be wholly inaccurate – particularly where Google is concerned. Interested to see how this one plays out in the coming months.
Tim Merrick 16th March 2011
If it can do what it promises to do it just might be competition for good old FB.

Rip face off, run outside, molest dog, get hit by car.
The only comic from 2013 to give me the chubbs, pages 31-32 from Peter Bagge's Woman Rebel (which could be subtitled "Margaret Sanger's Date With Havelock Ellis"). The sequence as a whole is simultaneously adorable, hilarious, pervy, and- something I don't usually think of with Bagge- sexy as hell. When two brilliant sex weirdos can come together like this, it warms the heart. My favorite two pages of comics from 2013.
Some words being slathered around the internet about my recent Oily- and Fantagraphics-published comics, making some best of the year lists, well well what are they saying:
On Training:
"I read this as a nightmarish allegory of the harsh, dehumanizing demands of Being a Man in our culture - even if that's off the mark I'll not soon forget its chilling final line: 'It is going to hurt and hurt and hurt.' "
"Movement dominates this piece. Whether it's the protagonist's struggle to rise from the ground, or the amount of panel space dedicated to running, jumping and kicking, Training works to move a reader's eye from the get-go. It wastes not a second, taking even 2/3's of the cover to tell story rather than position a decadent logo or pinup. This is Josh Simmons as not a gross-out gag heathen; this is a cartoonist chasing efficiency."
On Habit #1:
"I just love the deceptively cute cover of this anthology of new stories by alt/lit horrormeister Simmons, author of Fantagraphics' extremely frightening and boundary-shattering collection The Furry Trap. Here he works on his own and in collaboration with other writers and/or artists such as Karn Piana, Wendy Chin and something that calls itself "The Partridge in the Pear Tree." The most outstanding piece within, though, is the solo first story, which I consider to be one of the best short comics that I have seen this year: a harrowing, cinematic and 3-dimensionally articulated depiction of the devastating repercussions on a single seaside home of a tsunami."
"It's overly reductive to say something like, "you have to read Josh Simmons to understand what I'm talking about when I talk about Josh Simmons," but I kind of feel like that needs to be said, so pretend I said it. Anyway, this is the first oversized comic released by Oily (well, oversized compared to their usual minicomics) and it's a densely-packed piece of work, as Simmons and friends explore horrors large and small and cute and terrifying. It has the newest installment of Simmons ongoing "Jessica Farm" opus, by the way, and that story has gotten ca-RAZY! It's some Johnny Ryan madness, with the Josh Simmons flair."
"Josh Simmons is a tonally similar artist [as Heather Benjamin], but at this point he's been making comics long enough that the evident darkness of his outlook abrogates the need for the taboo-fucking gore for which he became known. "Seaside Home," the lead-off story in this one-man anthology Habit #1, is Simmons's most nihilistic and melancholy work to date, which is saying quite a bit. Combining several of his strengths—depicting the interior and exterior of large buildings, locating horror in failed families, burying pages in debris—it tells the story of a little girl whose parents are too consumed with their own slow-motion tragedy to see that she's slowly sinking into one as well. That the final, physical violation of this family unit and the home they inhabit is still so obviously upsetting to her—that after all this, she still has a child's shocked disbelief that terrible things really can happen to her and the people who've taught her whatever she knows about love—is so fucking devastating I can hardly stand to think about it, though that doesn't stop me. Compulsively re-reading this thing is a form of self-injury, which is about as high a compliment as I can pay."
On The Furry Trap:
"The Furry Trap removes all romance and titillation from each story's genre roots. This isn't exhilarating movie violence, it is down and dirty ripping, pulling and tearing. The reader can't root for a hero because there is no heroic behavior depicted, just pure viscera. From its uncomfortable, steam-filled cover image on down, this book asks what should or shouldn't be shown in art, and then questions what you, the reader, are looking for in your entertainment. Or rather, what you are really looking for. Then it dares to ask you, why." [part of a longer review]
And a different perspective:
"So, this series of cartoon stories classifies itself as "horror", so I picked it up out of curiousity, because I like scary videogames, movies, and comics.
If you've seen the movie "Hostel", I'd liken this book to that movie. This is only "horror" in the sense that there's plenty of violence and depravity, and with no real reason or purpose. One of my favorite comic series is Punisher MAX, which had plenty of foul language and violence, but at least in that series the violence had a point (gang wars and vengeance); In this book, the violence just spontaneously happens for no real reason, and the whole book feels incredibly pointless.
If you just want to see ridiculous violence in cartoon form, this book may be for you perhaps, but anyone looking for actual horror should really look elsewhere."
How about that!

We recently made this custom beer label for one of our customers and were totally impressed with the creativity – and the optical illusion. We get a lot of interesting and unique labels ideas coming through our offices every day, but this one definitely caught our eye last week. Looked at one way, its a face, looked at another way, its a word.

LA Galaxy
Find out how MLSsoccer.com's Matt Doyle and Nick Firchau see Saturday's Western Conference clash going. Give their Scouting Report preview a watch above
Real Salt Lake last met LA Galaxy on March 22 in its 2014 home opener at Rio Tinto Stadium, drawing 1-1 with the southern California side. But now the tables are turned and RSL will be facing the Galaxy on its home turf at StubHub Center for the second time this year. The Claret-and-Cobalt pulled off a 1-0 win in its season opener at LA on March 8. RSL will be looking to remain undefeated against the SoCal side in the regular season for just the third time in RSL history when they clash on Saturday.
The last meeting between the sides saw a beautiful half-volley scored by RSL forward Alvaro Saborio and a nice finish from LA forward Robbie Keane to top off an excellent individual effort. Saborio will be unable to do a repeat performance as he is still recovering from his foot injury, but that leaves room for one of the other Claret-and-Cobalt strikers to step up and deliver. Get pumped for tomorrow's match by reliving RSL's 2014 home opener.
Real Salt Lake hits the road on Saturday, taking on Western Conference rival LA Galaxy at StubHub Center at 8:30 p.m. MT. Saturday's match will be broadcast live on CW30, ESPN 700 and 102.3 La Gran D FM.
Here are a few storylines to watch ahead of Saturday's clash:
Real Salt Lake looks to go undefeated v. LA in 2014 regular season
Saturday's match in California will be the third and final regular season meeting between RSL and LA Galaxy. The two sides met twice in March this year with the claret-and-Cobalt pulling off a 1-0 win in its season opener at StubHub Center on March 8, and then drawing 1-1 two weeks later at Rio Tinto Stadium. If RSL gets a positive result this weekend, it will mark only the second time in Claret-and-Cobalt history that RSL has gone undefeated in the regular season against LA.
Nick Rimando in pursuit of the all-time MLS shutout record
Real Salt Lake veteran goalkeeper Nick Rimando is one clean sheet away from tying retired goalkeeper Kevin Hartman for the all-time MLS shutout record with 112. If the 35-year-old ties the record this weekend, Rimando will have as many cleans sheets as Hartman in 60-less games. Hartman achieved 112 shutouts through 416 games played; Rimando has currently played 355 MLS regular season games. The California native will likely surpass the record this year, with 17 MLS matches left to play in the 2014 regular season.
Morales and Donovan look to continue success against each other
RSL's Javier Morales and LA's Landon Donovan have torched each other's teams in their MLS careers. Morales has put up five goals and eight assists in 16 career regular season games against the Galaxy. Those numbers are impressive, but Donovan has done Javi one better, registering nine goals and nine assists with LA in 20 career regular season games against RSL. Donovan's nine goals and nine assists are the second-most against RSL of any player in MLS history in both categories.
Beckerman and Rimando remain undefeated in 2014 MLS play
RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman and goalkeeper Nick Rimando are still currently undefeated in MLS play in 2014. The U.S. international duo left for World Cup duty after the club's 5-2 win at Houston Dynamo on May 11, and up until that point the Claret-and-Cobalt were still undefeated in MLS play. Upon the duo's return to Salt Lake last Friday, RSL pulled off a 2-1 victory over New England Revolution to keep RSL undefeated in 2014 when both players are in the lineup. Beckerman's only defeat this entire year came at the hands of Germany, in the U.S.'s 1-0 loss in the group stage of the World Cup. Even if the club is no longer undefeated (RSL went 1-3-2 in their absence) Beckerman and Rimando can still keep their individual streak alive this weekend.
You know by now that RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman and goalkeeper Nick Rimando were both named to the U.S.'s final 23-man World Cup roster on Thursday.
What you might not know is that Beckerman's and Rimando's call-ups mark the third-straight time that RSL has put at least one player on the U.S. Men's National Team's World Cup squad. That's right: RSL has put a player on the USMNT's World Cup squad in all three World Cups that the club has existed for.
In 2006, RSL sent defender Eddie Pope to Germany with the U.S. In 2010, it was forward Robbie Findley that made the trip, heading to South Africa for the Americans' run to the Round of 16. Both players featured for the U.S. at the World Cup, with Pope starting two of the U.S.'s three games in 2006 and Findley getting the nod in three of the U.S.'s four contests in 2010.
RSL is one of just two clubs to put a player on the U.S. team for each of the last three World Cups. The only other? LA Galaxy, which has sent a player to the USMNT in each of the five World Cups it has been around for.
RSL is one of just three teams to put a player on the USMNT's World Cup roster for every World Cup of the club's existence, joining LA and the defunct Tampa Bay Mutiny, which put a player on the 1998 U.S. World Cup roster before folding after the 2001 MLS season.
Toronto FC Head Coach Ryan Nelsen had a bit of a go at Real Salt Lake on Tuesday, telling reporters at TFC's media availability that he thinks that Claret-and-Cobalt forward Alvaro Saborio should be suspended for his challenge on LA's A.J. DeLaGarza (video above) in Saturday's 1-1 draw.
Nelsen's the latest to hop in on the debate, which began on Saturday when LA's Bruce Arena, Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez called for Saborio to be suspended in postgame comments after the RSL-LA match at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Nelsen commented on Saborio after fielding questions about TFC midfielder Jackson, who Nelsen predicted will likely get suspended for this elbow to DC's Davy Arnaud.
"That could have broken his leg," Nelsen said of Saborio's challenge in a report by Sportsnet's John Molinaro. "If Jackson gets suspended, you'd like to hope that a [player] who has nearly broken a guy's leg is going to get suspended as well. You never know, though. I don't make up the rules."
Nelsen also commented on TFC's early season schedule on Tuesday, calling it "probably the toughest start of any team in the whole of the league."
Here's Toronto's start: at Seattle, v. DC, at RSL, at Columbus, v. Colorado, at Dallas.
Here's RSL's: at LA, at San Jose, v. LA, v. Toronto, at Kansas City, at Philadelphia.
And, just for good measure, here's Colorado's: at New York, v. Portland, v. Kansas City, at Vancouver, at Toronto, v. San Jose.
We'll let you be the judge.
As always, ABC 4's Real Sports Live did a great job of covering Real Salt Lake on Sunday night, going in-depth on the Claret-and-Cobalt's home opening 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy.
RSL defender Nat Borchers appeared on this week's show, talking about Saturday's match with ABC 4's Wesley Ruff. Check out Nat's interview above.
You can watch Sunday's Real Sports Live in its entirety here.
Nice work from MLSsoccer.com's Matt Doyle and Dan Haiek previewing Saturday's RSL-LA tilt. Check out their scouting report above.
MLSsoccer.com's Scott Pierce updated Real Salt Lake's injury situation on Wednesday, writing up a piece off of RSL Head Coach Jeff Cassar's Tuesday media availability.
First, the good news: RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando is a go for Saturday's home opener against LA Galaxy after having some back issues last weekend at San Jose.
Now, the bad: Claret-and-Cobalt midfielder Sebastian Velasquez and defender Aaron Maund will both miss the match due to hamstring injuries. Forwards Robbie Findley – recovering from surgery – and Devon Sandoval – rehabbing a preseason foot injury – will also miss the match.
RSL's questionable contingent includes midfield maestro Javier Morales, defender Chris Schuler, defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe and midfielder Jordan Allen. Morales missed Saturday's draw at San Jose with a back injury, Schuler is coming back from offseason surgery and has yet to play this year, Watson-Siriboe is recovering from a torn ACL suffered last summer and Allen hurt his ankle in an appearance off the bench at San Jose.
Cassar expanded on RSL's health situation on "The Bill & Hans Show" on ESPN 700 on Tuesday afternoon, talking to Hans Olsen and fill-in host Keith Stubbs at the club's Meet the Team event from Scheels in Sandy.
You can listen to Cassar's full interview here. Here's what he had to say regarding the club's injuries:
On the injury situation as a whole:
"They're all progressing. I think Sebastian Velasquez maybe took a step backwards, he kind of re-aggravated his hamstring while training with the guys that didn't travel [to San Jose last weekend], but all the other ones are progressing. Whether they'll be available or not we'll have to evaluate that in the next few days."
On Nick Rimando and Aaron Maund:
"Nicky's feeling great. He just had a spasm that tightened up during the game, but he's feeling fantastic. He did great in training today. Aaron has a hamstring pull, he's probably day to day, but I'd say it's not looking good for him this weekend."
On whether having this many injuries is rare this early in the season:
"A lot of them are things that happened last year. Chris Schuler, Devon Sandoval, Robbie Findley, they're carrying over from [older injuries], so we're trying to be careful. It's a long season and we don't want them to stay injured, so we're trying to be careful. Robbie's a little bit further away, but Schuler's starting to get into full training sessions, so we're really happy about that."
