However, first-time sex can be an intimidating experience too. If you are hoping to hit the jackpot in the first attempt then be sure of ruining the entire exercise.

The growth of financial institutions that primarily interact with customers online is helping drive major changes in the multitrillion-dollar industry, bankers and analysts say.
For one thing, it's forcing conventional banks to invest more in such technology to compete.
"It keeps us on our toes," Nikhil Bijlani, e-operations manager for Capital Bank, said in a third-floor conference room at the institution's headquarters overlooking the downtown Rockville Metro station.
Capital Bank is among a handful of Maryland institutions that have grown deposits and assets faster in the past three years than the nation's three largest online banks. Deposits at Capital Bank have shot up 104 percent to more than $300 million since the Great Recession ended in mid-2009, faster than the growth at online banks Capital One 360, Ally and Discover.
Ally and Discover, in turn, have grown faster than the nation's largest conventional banks, with 74 percent growth to $44 billion and 44 percent growth to $42 billion, respectively. Capital One 360 — the former online institution ING Direct — is larger with $86 billion in deposits as of June, but hasn't been growing as fast more recently.
The nation's three largest banks in deposits — JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citibank — have three-year deposit growth rates of less than 26 percent, while the national average is 18 percent.
The same technology that Capital One 360 and others have used to grow is helping smaller conventional banks compete, said Bijlani, who has worked in the field for more than a decade at banks such as PNC and the former HarVest Bank of Maryland. But it's not so much the online banks sparking those changes — it's the customers who see what both other conventional and online banks offer, and push their banks to keep pace, he said.
"Technology is the great equalizer for banks our size," Bijlani said. "We level the playing field with the big banks through technology."
Capital Bank, which has two branches in Maryland and one in Washington, D.C., has seen online banking transactions and users more than double in the past two years, Bijlani said. The bank has not only upgraded its online banking capabilities but rolled out more technological advances to help attract and retain customers as far away as California and Israel.
Many small-business customers use check image scanners and can bank remotely, Bijlani said. The bank also upgrades its own internal technology, such as its videoconferencing system in conference rooms, he said.
Capital One Bank of McLean, Va., the fourth-biggest bank in Maryland with $10.4 billion in deposits as of June, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., also has seen an increase in online banking in recent years, said Amanda Landers, a bank spokeswoman. Customers can access accounts online and also through mobile sources such as smartphones, she said.
Even before purchasing ING, Capital One Bank had a significant online banking system in place and began offering online accounts 15 years ago, Landers said.
"We offered online banking products for customers who wanted competitive interest rates, no fees and no minimums, and didn't feel the need for a branch-banking experience," she said.
Capital Bank is developing a mobile banking service, Bijlani said.
"As people get more comfortable with banking online and on their phones, we will offer those products and services," he said.
More credit unions are offering online and mobile banking. Montgomery County Employees Federal Credit Union, which opened a 20,000-square-foot headquarters in Germantown in 2008 with many technological upgrades, offers not only online and mobile banking but banking by text, CEO James Norris III said.
The credit union continues to roll out new technology for its roughly 14,000 members, such as an app for the iPad, he said. While online banking has increased among members, "they will still have questions, and we have employees here to answer them," Norris said.
What Capital Bank provides that the out-of-state remote banks largely don't is personal customer service, Bijlani said. For instance, he recently went to the home of a North Potomac customer to help her access the system.
"People are surprised that bankers make house calls," Bijlani said. "But that is something we provide. Technology is only as good as the people who understand it. ... We offer technology with a fair amount of hand holding."
Internet banks held the top four spots in a recent national list of the highest interest rates for savings and money market accounts compiled by MoneyRates.com, a Foster City, Calif., personal finance website. Such banks have less overhead and can pass savings to customers in the form of higher rates and lower fees, said Richard Barrington, senior financial analyst for MoneyRates.com.
"They don't have to support a massive branch system," he said. "They operate with less physical overhead and personnel."
In the fourth quarter, the average savings account rate at online banks was 0.60 percent, significantly higher than the average at conventional banks of 0.11 percent, according to MoneyRates.com. The average online money market account rate was 0.65 percent, also much higher than the conventional money market average account rate of 0.17 percent.
Ally Bank of Midvale, Utah, had the highest savings account rate in the fourth quarter at 0.95 percent, while Discover Bank of Delaware was fifth at 0.80 percent and the former ING Direct was seventh at 0.75 percent. Capital One Bank offered among the highest rates among conventional banks, coming in ninth at 0.53 percent.
First Mariner Bank of Baltimore had one of the highest money market average rates for conventional banks at 0.50 percent.
Capital One not only rated high in the MoneyRates survey but was named the best bank for standalone checking accounts by Money Magazine last fall. Its High Yield Free Checking account offers a rate that is five times the national average, and the bank offers two rewards checking accounts "at a time when a lot of banks have eliminated rewards," Landers said.
The number of branches in Maryland dropped by 5 percent from 2009 to 2012 to some 1,750, according to the FDIC. The trend has been slower nationally, with a 2 percent decline.
Bank of America, the largest institution in Maryland with $24 billion in deposits as of June, has seen branches decline by 8 percent in the past three years nationally to about 5,700 and by 5 percent in Maryland to 185.
The largest online banks have not added any branches in the last three years, while the three largest conventional institutions based in Maryland — Sandy Spring Bank of Olney, EagleBank of Bethesda and Columbia Bank of Columbia — have. Among those three, EagleBank has seen the most growth, doubling deposits in the past three years to $2.5 billion.
Some of the growth was through EagleBank buying OBA Bank's lone D.C. branch in 2011, but most of it was organic. EagleBank agreed to buy Alliance Bankshares of Chantilly, Va., in 2011 but that deal fell through.
EagleBank's growth has been aided by larger banks turning down small businesses for loans, Ronald D. Paul, chairman and CEO of the institution, said in a recent blog.
"We significantly increased our small business lending in 2012," Paul wrote. "During the year, EagleBank made over $185 million in new loans to area small businesses. Retailers, restaurants, contractors, consultants and professionals all benefitted from having a community bank that is willing to make loans to small businesses, understands the business model and knows how to underwrite it."
As the number of branches decline, bank jobs are dwindling and changing. The number of commercial bank employees nationally fell by 1.4 percent in the past year to about 1.3 million, according to federal labor figures. The sector has seen 23,500 in job losses in the past five years.
Capital Bank has more than doubled its workforce in the past three years to 91, with some of that growth coming through acquisitions such as last year's purchase of the assets of American Eagle Savings Bank in Boothwyn, Pa. EagleBank has increased its workforce by two-thirds in the past three years. Other banks have seen slower employment growth, and some, including Bank of America, have seen slight declines.
Meanwhile, online banks Discover and Ally have boosted employment by 87 percent and 50 percent, respectively, in the past three years.
With fewer branches, Barrington, at MoneyRates.com, sees conventional and online banks centralizing customer service.
"You are likely to see more employment in call centers, rather than in branches," he said. "Unfortunately, that means fewer overall jobs. One person can do more in a call center, where there are calls coming from all over, than in a local branch.
"I think you will see a steady downward slope [in jobs], but it will be a long, sustained slope," Barrington said.

Your SelectionClear All
All up, I have four Firebirds in various colours. I love them all, the length is the only thing I could possibly pick on, only because it's a woman's cut and obviously shorter than the mens version, which my husband has a couple of too! I am a standard Aussie size 8, but always buy these in the size 10 as I find it has just that little bit of extra room around the chest and shoulders for me. Basically, if you want to wear nothing more than a singlet under your Firebird, get the 8, if you want that tiny bit more room for something thin underneath with sleeves; allow yourself the size up. Another slight difference between the mens and womens is that the sleeve cuffs are slightly longer on the girls, but it's a look I love and not uncomfortable in any way, just a point of difference. Bring on more colour options like your mens range has please! ... read more
I absolutely love this. Its great! It is not too small, & it is not too big. It fit perfectly. I measured myself, & was an extra small, but i thought it wouldn't hurt to have a little cute, baggy look. & its great! Better than i had expected. The other comment completely scared me when i bought it. Don't worry, if you measure yourself by the measure chart, you'll be perfectly fine. :) ... read more
I recently purchased this jacket in mid-June. It looks really good and has a slim fit so it is not too baggy. I am about 5'6 and 140lbs and it fit me perfectly. I was attracted by the jacket's material which is a soft cotton blend, which is a nice change from the synthetic and polyester material of other track jackets. The cotton blend doesn't look like it can be easily snagged and breathes well. However, it feels too warm to wear during hot summer weather and does not dry quickly if it gets wet. I am really happy with this jacket. I received it on Wednesday after placing my order on Monday morning. ... read more
I ordered this Addidas jacket and it came very quickly, This jacket is so comfortable on and cosy for the winter days, it goes with everything and the gold makes it look outstanding. Id definetly be purchasing another addidas jacket. As well as having a jacket i have addidas gazzelles when i were them both together its absouloutly gorgeous and a nice style. This jacket goes with anything and everything. Buy before there gone, trust me its worth it. ... read more
Quality from start to finish, This jacket oozes quality on the web site, the delivery from the postman as he handed me my Adidas parcel, you know this is a quality brand, I ordered the matching track pants too, this was a must, this jacket is light yet really warm, following the size guide' the fit for me is perfect, the zip on the pockets is ideal, especially when listening to music using the treadmill or out for a run, the whole outfit together has this individual unique look and feel, just like the LBD, you will not regret purchasing this, this is a head turner. ... read more
Initially I was worried about the size of my purchase after reading reviews (many had said that sizes were too small). However, the jacket fits perfectly -its size 8 corresponds perfectly with my usual size 8. It is slim fitting, good quality and the sleeves are a perfect length. The jacket is relatively short and sits above my hips which is flattering and shapely. It also looks amazing and this colour goes with lots of clothes. ... read more
A good lightweight cotton trackie top, good neat fit, if you buy Adidas XL sizes, this will fit as you expect. Only minor criticism is that I would expect a bit more detailing in the zips for the (original) price, the top is well finished inside with the pockets completed to provide internal pockets and addy blue & white seam tape. ... read more
i bought this product for myself as it looked very light and slick, it arrived early and as soon as i opened the parcel the product looked even better than it originally looked online, i would recommend this product 100% unreal! ... read more
I bought xtra small size. I am 5ft 2in and not a big chest ;) I normally wear a size 2... The fit was way tight on me and even squished my chest which is like 32 A... The arm length was a tad small and jacket wasn't really long enough to cover my torso completely... Stretching wasn't pretty-lol I gave 4 stars because with the proper fit-would be great! ... read more
The postage came really fast which i loved, and as i tried it on the jacket was a prefect fit for me as i wasnt quite sure what size would fit me better. Overall, adidas you did a really good job, i loved it. ... read more
Purchased online and the colours matched their image of this product perfectly once I had recieved it. Is worn comfortable at the gym excersising or as I do jogging the streets on the weekend just as much as it is just nipping out to the shops etc as a good versatile outer garment. Love this top! ... read more
If you would like to have something cozy, pretty much fashionable and fancy, here you are. This is great top , you can wear it with the same bottom and also as a separate with some pair of shorts or some jeans. The fabric is breathable, cotton with some poly and I really love it! And almost half price! ... read more
Jacket is the perfect size and looks great, I was really impressed by the delivery updates I received from the courier and we knew exactly when it will arrive, it was suppose to arrive in 5 days but arrived on the third day. Highly recommended the Jacket and delivery service. Well done Adidas!! ... read more
The jacket is very light and wearable with jeans and other denim, is true to size on the little extra side (not European fitted style) and very comfortable, recommended for a relaxed outfit. Saw them in person before buying and the grey version is the coolest IMHO. ... read more
My first purchase from adidas.ca and this jacket has met my expectations. It is light and comfortable, even on a hot day. Propped up retro collar accompanied by the vintage design really enhance its appearance, giving it a professional look. A must purchase for adidas enthusiast. ... read more

Dig These Discs :: Tim McGraw, Atlas Genius, Kwanza Jones, Gold Fields, Joan Armatrading
Turn your face to the sun, Diggers! We've got the wonders from Down Under when Aussie quartet Gold Fields and Aussie brothers Atlas Genius drop their debut albums. Stalwart country star Tim McGraw launches yet another instant classic, and classic folkie Joan Armatrading shows her moxie playing all the instruments and laying down vocals in "Starlight." Kwanzaa Jones puts some flavor in the mix with her new release of dance club and dubstep tracks. Can you Dig it?
"Black Sun" (Gold Fields)
Australian quintet Gold Fields is a glossy pop outfit whose music is studded with dark tribal percussives and two drum kits. With their new full-length debut album, they hope to make their mark on the U.S. market. A recent concert at New York's Bowery Ballroom was streamed on MTV Hive, to great effect. And they will tour this spring from coast to coast, with a stop along the way at SXSW. Imagine them as a modern take on Duran Duran, with smaller hair. They launch into the fray with "Meet My Friends," which references the Police hit "Roxanne" midway, with the lyrics, "Diane, you don't have to bare your breasts tonight, make plans and break them like it's fair to run and hide." The percussion plays off the wordless vocal hooks to great effect. Their first single "Dark Again," is a pop beauty about pulling yourself out of a rut, with synth and rippling guitar building up to a momentum. They intro "Treehouse" with tribal rhythms before meshing into a poppy love song, singing, "we lost our way, we almost wound up in Tokyo, whose to say they would've found us anyway?" "The Woods" seizes on this same vibe, with the lyrics, "Somewhere in the woods I lost my shoes/ so I walked through thorns to get back to you." The track is loaded with percussives coming from not only the double set of drums, but also the boys beating on old chairs and discarded lumber. A deep disco sound rings through on "Happy Boy," with a swishing high-hat punctuating the chorus, as singer Mark Fuller chants, "I'm going to be happy." Look for this one at the clubs. "Thunder" is another catchy dance track that finds Fuller's voice shining through high and light over toe-tapping instrumentals before ending with a banging drum solo. A throbbing electronica beat is the thing on the dark track "Ice," with haunting, whispered vocals. They go back to a soft pop sound in the catchy, sad anti-love song, "Closest I Could Get." The electro-pop vibes run through "Moves," a fast-moving song about riding in an ambulance with a girl named Ashley, who broke her arm, and the sad, "You're Still Gone." A dark plodding vibe dominates "Anxiety," with Fuller singing, "I don't think I've ever loved someone more than being on my own." Gold Fields tracks strike the perfect balance of highs and lows, each one simultaneously a celebration and a heartache. Although they are just starting out, Gold Fields seem to have put in some time working out the kinks on their debut album, to present a polished collection of 11 tunes, each very different, but all very much their own.
"When It Was Now" (Atlas Genius)
Adelaide, Australia's Atlas Genius is a family affair, with brothers Keith Jeffery on vocal and guitar, Michael Jeffery on drums and Steven Jeffrey on bass, with keyboards by Darren Sell. Their first single "Trojans" dropped in May 2011, and peaked at Number 4 on the Billboard charts. It is a catchy pop song that plays with themes of regret, as Jeffrey sings, "Write a song, make a note for the lump that sits inside your throat/ Change the locks, change the scene, change it all but can't change what we've been." The band's official debut album "When It Was Now" seeks to validate their effort, three years prior, to build their own home recording studio in an effort to hone their sound. The band tracks heavily to the classic sounds of bands like The Police and the Rolling Stones, whom they count among their influences. Fast-moving guitar rocks songs like "Symptoms," as Jeffrey moves vocals up and down the scales to infectious result. There is something familiar and easily likeable about this outfit, with it's thrumming guitars and pounding bass. The electro vibe in the aptly-named "Electric" and the bouncy "On a Day" evokes memories of old Men At Work songs, as if a Vegimite sandwich will be handed down at any moment. And a Coldplay sound comes through in the metered hit, "If So." Among the best tracks are "Back Seat," which could easily find its way to radio play before long. A likeable emo sound dominates the moody "Centered On You," and "Don't Make A Scene," with the lyrics, "I don't feel like myself, there, she's falling down don't make a scene, don't make a sound." Love gained and lost is the thing in "All These Girls" and "When It Was Now." This band of brothers from Down Under is set to turn the music scene upside down.
(Warner Bros. Records)
"Two Lanes of Freedom" (Tim McGraw)
Country star Tim McGraw, married to singer Faith Hill, is currently the third best-selling country singer in the nation, with 11 consecutive albums debuting at Number One on the Billboard charts. And his debut album with Big Machine Records, "Two Lanes of Freedom," appears to be moving in the same direction. His easy acoustic guitar riffs and modern country sound are easy to enjoy. "Two hearts, two bucket seats, too much sun not to wear shades/Boot to the pedal and pedal to the metal are the reasons this road was paved," sings McGraw in the title track. He covers the classic country touchstones of beautiful girls, heartbreak, pickup trucks, roadside hotels, God and the open road. In this collection of 11 new songs, McGraw visits these themes without pretense. In "One of Those Nights," he gives a blow-by-blow of an unforgettable date with a beautiful girl. Despite the fact that he is probably richer than God, McGraw sings of backyard parties and looking up at the moon through a crack in the windshield, bringing these tales of valor within reach of the everyman. He's not popping bottles of Cristal in the VIP section; he's a regular guy in a pickup truck, just like you. And like you, he experiences love and loss. In "Friend of a Friend," he reminisces about an old girlfriend now teaching yoga and seriously involved with another man. It's like a country version of 10CC's hit "I'm Not in Love," with McGraw singing, "no matter what they say, it's just not true, I don't spend all my days and all my nights just missing you." McGraw gives The Beach Boys "California Girls" a run for its money in "Southern Girls," giving due respect to New York and Chicago before bestowing his heart on those "kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey, little bit crazy like New Orleans, Memphis blues and Daytona sunny, soft as cotton in some cutoff jeans/ don't you know ain't nothing in the whole wide world like a Southern girl." Unafraid to stray into new technology, he even includes an auto tune reverb refrain. Look for this tune to rock the two-stepping hotspots in your town, come summer. And speaking of rocking, McGraw puts out all the stops in the rocking, "Truck Yeah," a new redneck anthem. He rolls back the honky-tonk sound in "Nashville Without You," envisioning the cradle of country music as "just another river town" without her blue eyes. He leafs through the memories in the heartfelt "Book of John," and tickles the funny bone in "Mexicoma," singing, "I'm sitting here stoned at Tortilla Joe's and nobody knows my name and that's alright with me/She said adios, so I said hello Don Julio, top shelf self-help remedy." He even dabbles into prison life in "Number 37405," the story of a man locked up after an accident while driving drunk. McGraw teams up with Taylor Swift in "Highway Don't Care," a song about a girl driving through heartbreak, listening to the radio. McGraw is an affable character, with a streak of bad boy that makes him even more endearing. During a recent appearance on late-night talk show "Chelsea Lately," McGraw was quick with the saucy banter, not afraid to match Chelsea Handler's lighting-fast patter. He has experience in front of the camera before, starring with Sandra Bullock in "The Blind Side," and taking on lead roles in "The Kingdom," "Four Christmases" and "Country Strong."

Everyone knows that numbers and science go hand in hand. If you want to be a scientist, better work on your math. Luckily, a quarter of Americans say that math was their favorite subject in school.
But numbers don't just help scientists with calculations; they help scientists communicate those calculations to each other and to the public in ways that are easily understandable. For scientists, using numbers to paint accurate pictures is a key tool for moving scientific knowledge from theoretical understanding to practical applications.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Veronica Morey on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Latin form of Berenice, influenced from an early date by association with the Church Latin phrase vera icon 'true image', of which this form is an anagram. The legend of the saint who wiped Christ's face on the way to Calvary and found an image of his face imprinted on the towel seems to have been invented to account for this derivation. Use of the name in modern times may to some extent be influenced by the flowering plant so called from the personal name.

Chicago Fire
You've seen Logan Pause and Joel Lindpere preview Sunday's match vs. New York (and if you haven't Click Here to watch it). Now check out the Red Bulls take on the match.
After another tough loss two weeks ago against Chivas USA, the Fire look to pick up their first win of the season against the Red Bulls on Sunday afternoon (4pm CT on ESPN2/La Ley 107.9FM). New York relied on a bit of Henry magic to pick up three points against Philly last week. Here are some things to look for from a tactical perspective:
Targeting Holgersson – get him in 1v1 situations
Anyone who has watched MLS over the past few seasons knows that Jamison Olave is one of the league's great defenders. One of Olave's great strengths is his recovery speed, something his partner Markus Holgersson doesn't possess. While Holgersson is very adept in the air, if the Fire can get him separated from Olave, it may open the Red Bulls up. The more times the Fire can get players like Chris Rolfe in 1v1 situations with the Swede, the better.
TICKETS: Fire vs. Red Bulls Sunday at 4pm CT
Pause, Lindpere Preview Red Bull
Holgersson also has a tendency to switch off at times, as was seen in the goals Red Bull gave up against Philly last week and against Montreal in a 1-0 loss earlier in the season. As is the case with Arne Friedrich for the Fire, Jamison Olave makes everyone around him better, but if the Fire manage to separate him from Holgersson, they must take advantage.
Stopping Juninho – stifling the deep lying playmaker
The 38-year-old Brazilian Juninho has excelled in the deep lying playmaker role for the Red Bulls so far this season. Juninho plays ahead of the back four and receives the ball from the defenders before starting the attacks from a very deep position.
His exceptional passing range means he can easily look to play the ball up to Dax McCarty through the middle, play it out to the wing, or look for a long ball up to Tim Cahill who is excellent in the air.
The Fire must try and make it difficult for Juninho to start the attacks, and the prime candidate for this role is the second striker, namely Rolfe or Alex (if he's available). In the second leg of the recent Champions League match between Manchester United and Real Madrid, United forward Danny Welbeck did a great job of stifling Madrid's deep lying playmaker Xabi Alonso and I look for Rolfe or Alex to try and emulate that on Sunday.
When the Fire lose the ball in the attacking third, someone must immediately look to pick up Juninho and try and make it difficult for the Red Bulls to play through him.
Athletico Coaching Corner with Matko
Helping out on the right – don't isolate the right back
Last game, Wells Thompson did a solid job filling in a right back, a position with little player consistency for the Fire due to injuries this season. Chivas USA did look dangerous however when the managed to get Wells in 1v1 situations, especially in the first half.
READ: Stopping Thierry Henry
With Logan Pause nearing fitness it may be the case that Pause slots in on the right with Wells moving ahead of him but in either case, the right midfielder must track back and help. The Red Bulls love to have Henry drift wide and the Fire must try and prevent him from getting in 1v1 situations at all costs.
Though many would argue the Red Bulls' weakest players are the wingers, outside defenders like Heath Pearce are not afraid to get forward and support in the attack. Red Bull's movement off the ball from players like McCarty and Henry make them a hard team to defend against.
Though the Fire are the home team, head coach Frank Klopas said that the number one goal for Sunday's match is keeping a clean sheet. With that in mind, a solid defensive effort from front to back is essential.
Prediction: 1-0 Fire with a goal from Sherjill MacDonald who looked to be almost back to his old self last weekend.

Two games for the price of one? Why not?
Following Sunday's first team match between the Fire and Red Bulls, the club is inviting supporters to stick around to catch the an MLS Reserve League match between the two sides.
Some things to know if you stay at Toyota Park following the first game:
- The reserve game begins 30 minutes after the end of first team game.
- Stadium re-entry will not be allowed.
- Fans that stay will be asked to move to the east side of the Toyota Park stands.
- The Stadium Club, Second Star Club and suites will close at normal times following the first game.
- As usual, alcohol sales will end at the 75th minute of the first game. There will be no sale of alcohol during the reserve match.
- Concessions behind Section 126 will remain open for the reserve game.

The Fire head back home Sunday afternoon after picking up a hard fought point in Kansas last weekend. Though the team didn't score for the third game in a row, the solid performance despite missing key players was encouraging. Sunday's opposition Chivas USA come to Bridgeview full of confidence after picking up four points in their last two games. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective on Sunday (Coverage at 3:30pm CT on My50)
High pressure - Chivas players will not stop running
El Chelís, the new Chivas coach, has his team playing a 3-4-3 system with an emphasis on pressuring the opposing team very high up the field. Anyone who has watched Barcelona under Pep Guardiola/Tito Vilanova or Athletic Club under Marcelo Bielsa knows that the high pressure tactic can be very effective, especially against an opponent who is not prepared for it.
Get Tickets for Sunday's game vs. Chivas USA
Chivas' three attacking players hound their opponents' defense and try to not allow them to play out of the back. This tactic will put a lot of pressure on suspected midfield starters Daniel Paladini and Jeff Larentowicz to drop deep and collect the ball from the defenders. The goal of the 3-4-3 with the high pressure is to try and win the ball back from your opponent as high up the pitch as possible.
A recent example of this tactic working to perfection was in Chivas' only win to date in week two against FC Dallas. The winning goal came from forcing the Dallas defensive midfielder into playing a suicide ball back to center back George John whose lax first touch allowed Oswaldo Minda to waltz in and score. With this tactic in mind, concentration and communication between the defense and the central midfielders will be very important Sunday.
Balls over the top/in behind - how to beat the 3-4-3
Previewing Chivas USA
The downside of Chivas 3-4-3 tactic is that it leaves a lot of space on the outside for the Fire to exploit. In Chivas' last two games against LA and Dallas, the wingers got caught too far up the field on multiple occasions, especially when the opposition was able to force a turnover and transition quickly into attack.
In recent games for the Fire, wingers Dilly Duka and Patrick Nyarko have been required to help out the defense but against Chivas they will find that space will be a lot easier to come by and should be looking to make forward runs into space whenever possible. The Fire must look for the long ball into space constantly because getting a ball in behind can really open Chivas up.
UPDATE: Duka listed as 'Questionable' for Sunday
When the Fire inevitably get a ball in behind, they must get more players into the box, especially against a three man back line. In Chivas' opening games, often times it was a defender who had to drift wide to pick up the runner, leaving less numbers and more space in the middle for the opposing team to exploit.
Fouls fouls and more fouls - Fire must stay calm and focused
In Chivas' last two games, they have committed a whopping 40 fouls, something that clearly frustrated their opponents. Part of the reason for that many fouls is the high pressure tactic, trying so frantically to win the ball back, leading oftentimes to a foul.
That being said, another key aspect of Chelís' tactics is to try and stop the other team from getting in any sort of rhythm. How do you do that? By fouling your opponent and slowing the game down, of course.
READ: Can Pause go at right back Sunday?
When a Chivas player is beaten by his man, the natural response is to foul the player. The LA/Dallas players and coaching staff were constantly yelling at the officials for the amount of fouls Chivas committed, but this frustration played right into Chivas' hands.
On the other side of the ball, when Chivas attack, they often look to pick up set pieces in their opponents half. Their players hit the deck when they feel the slightest bit of contact, another aspect of their game plan that can really get under the skin of the opponent. The Fire players and coaching staff must keep their cool, especially if the score line isn't to their liking, because despite their coaches claims to the contrary, Chivas would gladly leave Bridgeview with a point.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Chris Rolfe and Dilly Duka.
Stephen Piggott is a contributor to Chicago-Fire.com. Follow him on Twitter @irish_steve
This day 15 years ago the Chicago Fire played their first-ever competitive match defeating the Miami Fusion 2-0 at Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Roman Kosecki scored the first goal in Fire history in the 76th minute while the team's first round draft pick Ritchie Kotschau opened his professional account in the 87th minute.
See highlights of the match below:
Fire head coach Frank Klopas did his first media round-up of the week on Wednesday. Some choice quotes from this afternoon's session:
On Paolo Tornaghi's experience stepping in for Sean Johnson last season
"He basically came in at that point as a younger third keeper but he won that second position in preseason and the games that he played. We had a veteran guy as our number two, knowing that Sean had Olympic qualifying games, you saw that he was the one that started in the first game in Montreal.
"We have all the confidence in him, he's played well and we know we're going in a situation with World Cup qualifying and Sean being with the national team, its great for him but we have all the confidence in Paolo in moments like this to step in and do a good job because he's very good 'keeper."
On Bakary Soumare's comments regarding his desire for a trade to the Fire
"With the salary cap and what teams want for players, it's not always so easy. I know Baky very well, he spent a long time here and I saw that. It's great when you treat guys in the right way, they feel this is always their team. There's always a lot of implications but you look into every situation for sure."
On the team's outlook to bring in a striker before the summer transfer window
"We're looking at everything. Any opportunity to see if we improve the team we're going to look at it. You might feel there will be need somewhere, players might become available but the needs might be something different. We're looking at all that but also knowing that it's early in the season."
On the personality of Chivas USA coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola
"I don't know the guy. It seems like he has the team on the right track and they're working hard and he's done a good job so far. Other than that, I don't know. He's a competitive guy just like I am."
We're happy to introduce a new video series to Chicago-Fire.com called "Both Sides of the Badge".
This week we talk to Daniel Paladini about his devotion to the club's supporters and ask him to do his best Frank Klopas impression:
If It seems like its Goalkeeper Week here on Chicago-Fire.com, well maybe it is... Sean Johnson is with the U.S. Men's National Team, meaning Paolo Tornaghi is the starter on Sunday, making way for Alec Kann to officially sign with the club on Tuesday in order to back him up.
I got a lot of quotes from goalkeepers (and their coach) the past few days... It'd be a shame if they went to waste so I've included some of the more interesting ones here...
Chicago FIre goalkeeping coach Aron Hyde
On having two returning goalkeepers for the first time since 2009
"Its never easy in MLS with the salary cap to maintain players year-to-year. In previous years we've looked to experienced guys to guide Sean along in his development and this year we didn't need that. We've got a very young goalkeeping group – its probably the youngest in the league. Sean's not a young goalkeeper anymore –he's at nearly 80 games in his career. We don't have any issues there anymore. Obviously he can get a little more continuity in the group and Paolo is a good goalkeeper and is more than capable of stepping in. He didn't let the side down last year and we're positive and optimistic he'll do the same on Sunday."
On Alec Kann's attitude as the third goalkeeper
"He's coming in willing to learn. He has a good attitude, he works hard – you can't fault him for anything there. He's a good guy to work with. He's been good with the other two and you hope he realizes he's here to push and he wants to play as well. He has to be ready."
Chicago Fire goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi
On communicating with a changing backline
"Its important when everyone steps on the field to have a positive performance. I thought our defensive line was very good on Saturday. We work together every day so to me it doesn't matter who the first 11 are, all the players train and stay focused to be ready for Sunday."
So if you're like me, you were watching Sunday's SuperClasico between LA and Chivas to get a better understanding of the Fire's upcoming opponents.
Around the 40th minute, you were sort of shocked to see the Goats Joaquin Velazquez sent off by referee Ricardo Salazar for this play…
If anything, Colin Clark could have received a card on the play but nonetheless, Chivas was forced to play the remaining 50 minutes a man down and still found away to earn a 1-1 draw against the reigning MLS Cup champs.
Flash forward to today and an Independent Review panel has rightly rescinded the red card and the one-game suspension that came along with it for this Sunday's match vs. the Fire.
This is the second time in MLS history that a red card has been rescinded. The New England Revolution's Fernando Cardenas saw his red card taken away after he was sent off in a 2-1 loss to Seattle last May.
What do you think? Is it good that the league is willing to rescind red cards when obvious mistakes are being made? Chime in below.

Here is my new short hair! I haven't had short hair in a long time and I am really liking it.
Josh did AWESOME at his tri this morning. His time for the olympic distance was 2:24.25. This was his first tri ever! He said that the swim was fast (it was in a river so there was a current helping you along) and that the bike was INTENSE. He said the course was very crowded and he was pretty much "stuck" in a group that was zipping along at 24-27mph. At one point he had people yelling "on your left" and "on your right" at the same time and he almost wrecked. I guess it was dramatic enough that he had a whole bunch of people yell "nice save!" at him when he somehow managed to keep the bike upright after getting his front wheel clipped AND hitting gravel. Whew.
Josh said that the run was the hardest part for him. I am not sure of his time exactly but he thinks it was about 52 minutes. He said his thighs were really crampy. But, he is thrilled with his time and thought it was the most fun thing he had ever done. He is ready to sign up again for next year and definitely has more tri's in his future. I am excited for him!!!
I passed up our local 5K race this morning. It is an all downhill course and I had been really looking forward to running it and seeing if I could get under 21 minutes (which I was feeling pretty sure I could). But Josh was out of town, my big kids were all gone on various activity trips, my brother is here from NY, etc. so it was hard for me to leave, plus, I am avoiding speed work because of this achilles and didn't want to hurt myself just for giggles.
I did get up EARLY (left house at 5:30am) with Jenny and we did eight easy miles. My achilles is LESS swollen and LESS stiff than it has been and yet has a little pain to it. I can't tell if that is better or worse! On a pain scale of 1-10 while I am running it is no more than a 2, so I am still running and taking it easy, but it is stressing me out somewhat. I have such big goals and I am so excited about things coming up that I just want this to go away so I can get back to training hard. I am supposed to run 20 miles tomorrow and instead of our usual route, we are going to run five miles away from home and then five back and see how I feel, and if things are ok then we'll go out five miles and back in another direction to make 20 miles and if it is hurting then I will call it quits after 10 miles. I sure hope I am able to get the run in without making anything worse.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. We have the demolition derby at the fair tonight... nothing like a little redneck fun to spice up a summer night. :)
More soon!

Charles Roger Pomfret Hodgson (born 21 March 1950) is a British musician and songwriter, best known as the former co-frontman, and founding member, of progressive rock band Supertramp. Hodgson composed and sang on the majority of the band's biggest hits, including "Dreamer", "Give a Little Bit", "The Logical Song", "Breakfast in America", "Take the Long Way Home" and "It's Raining Again". He left Supertramp in 1983 so that he could retire from touring and other industry obligations. However, since his departure he has produced the occasional solo album, and in 1997 he began doing solo tours. He is recognised for his tenor singing voice, which became a trademark of his former band Supertramp, and often writes about spiritual and philosophical topics.

County Executive Isiah Leggett said Monday night that he took full responsibility for the delayed opening of the troubled Silver Spring Transit Center, also announcing work to fix the center will start within a week.
The county was cleared Monday afternoon to begin fixing the concrete slabs at the facility, he told members of the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board at its monthly meeting at the Silver Spring Civic Building Monday. Leggett (D) said he anticipates permits for the remainder of the fixes will be released by the end of the month.
"As county executive, I take responsibility," Leggett said. "It ultimately falls on my shoulders."
Leggett said it was his decision to bring in consultants when he heard about the then-minor cracks in the structure instead of accepting the center as it was a year and a half ago. Those consultants spent months evaluating the structure ultimately releasing a remediation report in March.
The transit center at the corner of Colesville Road and Wayne Avenue in downtown Silver Spring was slated to open in 2011, but a series of cracks found in the structure and disparities in the thickness of the concrete have delayed the project's opening by two years so far. It is still unclear when the center will be open for business.
The remediation report said the transit center contains "serious design and construction defects" that compromise the center's structural integrity, longevity and safety. The report also included fixes for the problems, which a working group has been engineering since the report's release, including the work on the concrete slabs that lacked sufficient reinforcement.
"Through that review, I think we made the wise decision that this center is not going to open until it is safe for the public and that it is perfect for this community," Leggett said.
Among other concerns Leggett addressed at the meeting Monday were the influx of upcoming residential development in Silver Spring, pedestrian safety and access, businesses affected by upcoming Purple Line construction, lack of diverse programming at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, Bus Rapid Transit concerns from residents and board members, concerns about keeping the character of neighborhoods like Fenton Village in the midst of ongoing development and reservations from community members about park and planning moving to Wheaton.
