When it came time to fit a new kitchen we ended up having the usual disagreements about which doors we wanted and what oven and all that. Eventually I suggested that if Anne really wanted the kitchen her way she should come up with something that I would want in exchange. Knowing me very well, naturally she came up with the idea of paying for the kitchen in kind. And so one Saturday sitting in the lounge watching TV she turns to me and tells me it is time for her to pay for her kitchen.
Instead of starting straight away though she went off for quite a while leaving me wondering what this was going to involve.
Eventually she came back to the lounge and it was well worth the wait, she was dressed to kill, thigh high boots over fishnet stockings, an ultra short skirt and a see through fishnet blouse showing her black bra clearly through the diaphanous material.
She carried her largest handbag with her but refused to tell me what was in it, "Just wait and see, be a patient boy and all will be revealed."
"Now take off all your clothes and sit down in the middle of the couch."
I did as ordered, then she came over and with some spare stockings pulled from her bag she tied up my feet and then pulled my arms behind me and tied them together.
"I just love the feeling of power over you when you are turned on, so this is going to turn me on just as much as you. I am not going to touch your cock at all, not until you really beg for it, and even then maybe not until I think you deserve it."
With that she turned away and bent over to let me see she was naked under the skirt. Freshly shaved and perfectly pink, she parted her legs to show me everything, her hand drifting between her legs, sliding up and down her stockings, over her bum before homing in on her pussy. She started gently stroking along her lips, slightly parting them all the way up to her clit. There she stayed her fingers pulling herself apart, the middle one rubbing around and around then over the tip, causing a faint moan to escape.
She was so close I could see how wet she was, when she pushed two fingers straight in I knew she was enjoying it as much as I was. She stayed like that for a while, finger fucking herself, then rubbing herself off, before standing up turning round and offering me her fingers to taste. As usual they tasted so sweet, I hungrily sucked and licked them dry, imagining my tongue inside her.
"Oh my, he is enjoying the show isn't he?" as she looked down to see my pulsating cock swelling before her. My hips thrust up towards her, but she just backed away, but then bent over and licked my thighs all the way up to the top, almost touching me but not quite. It was driving me mad with desire, but I knew she wouldn't let me come until she was good and ready.
She unbuttoned her blouse slowly taking it off, before draping it very carefully over the head of my straining cock. The feel of the fine material on the sensitive glans of my dick drove me still further down the road to my eventual orgasm.
She dug into her bag and came out with not one but two huge dildos that I had never seen before.
"I've been doing some shopping for this night, I'll be needing this one later" she said putting aside the larger one.
A bit wary now I took a longer look at these plastic cocks. One was bright pink about eight inches long and made of a very smooth material, the other was about nine inches, skin coloured and veined to look like the real thing. Both of them vibrated, which she showed me, turning the pink one on and directing it between her legs to rest on her clit for a while before pushing it into her soaking wet cunt.
Slowly pushing it in and pulling it out dragging her lips in and out with it, I could see her getting nearer and nearer her own orgasm, and hoped I would be allowed to join her.
No such luck for me, as suddenly she clamped her legs tight together, pushed her toy deep inside her and came loud and hard, collapsing to the floor in front of me. Admittedly I almost blew my load then, straining against the thin gauze material on my knob, there was almost enough friction to bring me off, but only served to frustrate me further. Still, having seen her kill a new set of Duracells before in only one sitting I knew she wasn't finished yet and in just a few minutes she was back up sitting astride my legs preparing for another.
I looked down to see her turn the speed down and then slide it all the way back up inside her.
"I never told you what we used to do in that bar I worked in during the holidays, did I? Well it all started one night when we were down to a couple of guys playing pool in the back room and Jim the barman.
" I went out back to take the guys their drinks, but they got me to stay and play pool with them. One of them sat out and watched, and considering my uniform wasn't that different to what I'm wearing now, I know why. Every time I bent over the table to play my shot I could see him stroking himself out of the corner of my eye. Now you know me, I played to the crowd, the other guy getting a close look down my cleavage, and the guy sitting down getting a full display of my knickers, and when I had to half climb on to the table for a shot I could see him almost shoot his load there and then.
"At the end of the game, they both had huge bulges in their trousers, so I said 'I think you've seen enough of me, so how about showing me what you've both got.'
"Now, Jeff (as I found out later) took no time at all, and in a second he had unzipped his jeans, and pulled out his cock. I could see why he was so proud of it, he was rock hard, long and really thick. He stood in front of me and I couldn't resist and dropped to my knees and took him in my hands and wanked him. My mouth could barely fit over the end, but I wanted him in there so much, I stretched wide open and took him all the way down to my throat. I then gave him my best blow job I could, licking his head all round, sucking hard on that head, wanking him slowly as I did so, desperate for his spunk down my throat.
"I could feel my skirt being lifted, and a finger run over my lips through my silky panties. I pushed back onto it and he pressed the material into me as his fingers tried to fuck me through them. Finally he pulled them aside, and he could push them into my sopping wet cunt properly. My bum was right in the air then and he must have pushed three, then four fingers right up me. I was so turned on I almost came then, but he stopped and pulled them out before I could. I knew what he was about to do, and I turned round to see him, and if anything he was even bigger than Jeff. God with that thing inside me I was going to come immediately I knew."
And saying that she pulled the pink vibro out grabbed the huge dildo and pushed it all the way in. Her eyes flew wide open and I could see she was holding back her orgasm, wanting it to build still further.
"It felt like I was being spilt in two and once inside me it felt like he was turning my innards inside out. He started pumping slowly at first, filling me up completely, stretching me beautifully. But as I pushed back onto him more and more, he sped up, banging into me harder and harder, faster and faster, until I was screaming out loud with the pain and pleasure of it. I couldn't concentrate on Jeff's cock, I just wanted to come all over Mark's cock now, but Jeff had other ideas. He grabbed my hair and held me there, and just fucked my mouth like Mark was doing to me from behind. I was being used like a sex doll and I was loving every dirty minute of it.
I couldn't hold off any longer, my orgasm had been growing for so long now, and I came then really hard, it seemed like it lasted for ever with Mark's cock slamming into me, not stopping all the time I was coming, making me come again with each thrust. Jeff saw that as his cue and pulling me onto his cock one last time, he shot a huge load down my throat, which sent me over the edge once more…. Just like this"
And finally she decided my time had come. My cock now was throbbing so much it almost hurt, I couldn't take any more of this I knew. So turning the dildo on to full power she backed off me and suddenly took me in her mouth. My cock hit the back of her throat and in the state I was in I spunked immediately. My hot jizz just kept on shooting down her throat, her mouth mercilessly sucking me dry, as orgasm after orgasm wracked through her body. I'd never seen her so turned on, and to be fair I'd never been so turned on either.
Eventually we finished totally sated, at which point she looked up.
"I don't suppose you want to go looking at bathrooms now!"

i have been a boilermaker for goin on 5 years now, about 2 2 and a half years ago i was on a job seal welding with a suitcase and i cane across a fibre metal lens that had a mirrored finish on the front, well... i ended up breaking it in my bucket and when i went to the toolroom to go get another one, somehow i had got the only one out of about a hundred and when i asked the toolroom man if he had seen anymore like it he replied, " we dont have any of those in here, but i have one that has a mirrored finish on it." well he explained that he had had it for about 20 years or so and they dont make them anymore. he said, "here. go ahead and have this one." i didnt really want to take it concidering he had had it for 20 some odd years, but he insisted. i took it.
come to find out it was an american optical weld-cool lens. i fell in love with it immediatley. i have had it in my hood for a couple of years now and you couldnt find a way to get me to part with it. i must say though in those couple years i have put countless hours welding with that lens everything from mig, tig, smaw, stainless tig, stainless stick, stainless mig, pulsed mig, inconel, and miles and miles of carbon, and every inch of puddle i have looked at through that lens i saw crystal clear. more puddle less smoke. i have welded with all sorts of lenses, i even just bought a gold lens (glass), but i just dont like welding w/o that cobalt flame.
i have had many ppl use my hood and ask where to get one, and i myself have wanted to find another one just to have in case mine breaks gets stolen or i just want to give one to a beginning welder with lots of potential. ive never found one though.
thanks to this forum im goona try to get my hands on one or two of those new lenses, but ive never liked those polycarbonate lenses, there too easy to damage, in my line of work i have to put my hood in some pretty rough spots and i find myself taking my lens out quite a bit to change clears or for whatever reason opening up the opprotunity for them to get messed up. and there just not the same as glass.
thanks for the lead on these new weld-cools though im sure theyll be a few people happy to hear about that. and im kinda curious myself

My dad has been in the welding business for over 40 years, I can assure you these are the real thing. He's a bit of a pack rat and god only knows what other antique equipment is laying around in his shop, but he came across this lens and remembered people asking about them. He is keeping one or two for himself because they are now extinct, but is willing to part with this one since there is such high demand. As a welder he knows there is nothing better than this lens. I stand behind my 100% rating on eBay and wouldn't sell anything fake or "fishy".

You should probably put a mention of this in the AWS forum, and maybe Welding Web .... the more bidders, the better, right?

In the sweeping rainbow of summer music festivals, there are those that trend toward the more Top 40 end of the spectrum and those where you have to double check with a friend to make sure that the set was actually started (and not just sound check). The happiest of mediums is a music festival where you can pretty much guarantee that you'll get to see those responsible for the albums you've been listening to all summer, and fall in love with a few new (to you!) bands as well. Pitchfork hits that in-between, and pretty much guarantees that the present lineup has gone through the industry's most demanding checkpoint — namely Ryan Schreiber and his cadre of critics.
While not all the bands playing have made it above that coveted 8.0 benchmark, the kind of festival style they attracted sure hit double digits. Click through to see a few fans (some of them fellow musicians), and what they wore to Pitchfork's Music Festival this weekend.

yes this is probably a long shot but i'm trying to find a decent price used 220v transformer to convert this machine to 220V from its 460v rating.
specs: Miller Econotig
460v phase 1 60Hz 33A
stk# 903368
build date: Feb 2002
long story short i have been looking forever for a decent TIG machine and have been having no luck until this one popped up. the owner told me it was a 220 machine and wouldn't work at his house since it was only wired for 110V. without realizing there is a 460V version i picked it up and started testing it, not knowing it was a 460v model. the welder is going to be used in my shop, on a commercial site but the building is only wired for 120/208. the shop has 2 220v outlets, 1 at 60A and the other at 80A.
it powers on but the fan runs slow and the foot pedal doesn't start the arc(obviously). the output from the 24V transformer is only 11V on the insufficient voltage coming in so nothing powers up correctly and almost nothing works so i can't thoroughly test it. it does fire if i manually kick over the contact box. the control board looks almost new, the rest is quite clean. i feel fairly confident it works fine but the reason i wound up with it being that 460v is quite uncommon, it was also a bare box(i was fine with buying new accessories if it worked ok with another test set from another Miller machine, i bought the foot control because i thought the RC14 control we used from a Miller syncrowave 150 was wired differently since it only had 5 pins utilized out the 14, now knowing all RC14s are the same).
so i feel i wasted my money and don't want to try and pass this problem off on someone else as i'm fairly sure some amount of dishonesty is how i wound up with it in the first place. now having bought a brand new foot controller to test it with i've already got about $500 into the machine, although i had a full tank of argon already. the torch is also missing but if i can get it working and tested with another torch i will put the machine to use. otherwise i'm going to take a sledge hammer to it because i have the worst luck with dishonest people.
if you have a 220v transformer from a broken machine you're willing to part with or know a workaround for making the 460v transformer work on 208v i would be appreciative.
to run 460v into the shop from the junction box(if it even has a 460v line to the building with a transformer on site is a $1.5k+ project at minimum), a stationary transformer to bump the voltage up to about 420v at the rated 15,000VA capacity starts at $500 not including installation and is underrated for the 460v requirement.
so right now i'm looking at a blue ornament wasting space. yes i should have known better but live and learn, for now i just have to keep with the 15 year old 130a mig machine that is about to quit. i should have just found a way to get the 180SD a few weeks ago but i don't have a truck.
just looking for input, whether i should try to salvage this thing somehow or destroy it and put it to the curb for a scrapper to collect so that it doesn't turn into someone else's headache. (after a little digging i'm not the only one who has wound up with one of these HV units and no way of actually using it without stupid amounts of money sunk in)

well it's now sitting over at the electric motor service center, the tech seemed to think that hacking the transformer to work on 220v would be either be very easy or nearly impossible.
will let you guys know what he sais once he looks at it while i have my fingers crossed(but still not being too optimistic that it will work out).
still open for any other suggestions and hoping i can just find a used transformer somewhere off a dead board unit.
upside is i have learned more about the Econotig in the past few days than i will ever need, downside is i have a gut feeling it is going to be wasted space in my memory.
Where did you buy it from?
A good friend had his stolen about 2 weeks ago, don't know the SN though,
Never mind, his was a 220 model, I should have read your whole post before opening my big mouth!Miller Syncrowave 200

there's lots of commercial auctions so i assume it came from one, not just anyone is going to go out and buy a 460v machine. it also explains why it was cheap compared to most other Miller Tigs, but it's definitely no workhorse of a welder and will only do some jobs that i want it to do, others will require a more stout machine like a syncrowave 200 down the road.

apparently my pessimistic attitude paid off this time. i called the shop and they said they retapped the transformer to half it and it now works on 220v and the machine tested ok on 220.
the shop specializes in rewinding electric motors as well as certified to work on many makes of welders.
thanks for reading and i will update once i get it back.

i do still need to pick up a torch and regulator but had a friend come by to test it in the shop and it TIGged a decent bead on aluminum so i am going to go ahead and order the rest that i need to get it working.
i didn't ask for specifics on the workaround but inside the machine i just see a single wire snipped. both to convert it to 230V and test it set me back only $60 so i was quite happy considering all the alternatives. basically if you find a 460V unit and need it converted to use more common voltages it IS doable, and rather easy i might add and is totally reversible. you just need someone familiar with transformers and i was quite lucky to find the shop that i did.
i'm sure it won't perform as well at peak amps due to the discrepancy being it is fed 208V and the transformer is now rated for 230V but hopefully it will do what i need it to do. not saying this is the best idea, as it may cut the life the of the machine as well so take this all with a grain of salt. if the board cooks they can be repaired for a few bucks plus solder(initially i thought the board was dead before i realized it was 460V, and traced out the 24v transformer to only putting out the 11v and read for hours about cooked amp control circuits, but generally the result is 100% amps with no control).

Feeding it with 208 instead of 230 will reduce the output a little at the top end, but you are not likely to notice unless you are really pushing it. There is no reason why the life of the machine will be reduced or that the boards will fail at a rate other than normal. I think that you were lucky to find someone who knew how to tap that transformer properly AND do it at a fair price. Good job. Good Luck with it.

Wouldnt the wiring on the primary side of the transformer be smaller on a 460 machine vs a 240 machine?Because less amps are needs for the same watts on 460 vs 240, so the wireing could be smaller
Hopefully it works out for ya. For those reading this there is also a 3 phase only machine that I've been told this cannot be done. So buyer beware.MM250

These cookies are truly delicious, and not hard to make, easy to vary (I use dark chocolate, walnuts and craisins - yum!)
Super easy, fast and absolutely delicious...my family loved these. I will most definitely be making these again! Thank you heaps.... ;-)
OK, I just made these and added cinnamon,flax seed and used 2/3 c. Brown Sugar Splenda and dark chocolate chips. I also added applesauce to make the texture of the dough a little more moist. Don't overcook them! Be sure to pat then down because they don't spread out .They are slightly more cake like than I prefer my cookies but were very good and my hubby loves them. Always looking for healthier goody for the Gkids!
I substituted coconut oil for the canola and it worked out perfectly! I also only put in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and they were the perfect balance of cookie and chocolate! Will make again!

HG2 A hedonist's guide to... The UK's best-selling luxury city guide.
Toronto Map
Everything we love in Toronto
Explore the city by district:
Bloor, Yorkville & Midtown
Downtown, Harbourfront & Old Town
Kensington Market & Chinatown
King West & Queen West
Ask people what they know about Toronto and the conversation will likely falter after the 'CN Tower'. Stand in Britain and use the term 'over the pond' and most will assume you mean the States. To many, Canada means skiing, fishing and the Rockies - but that's in the West, so why does Toronto elude us? Why so under-explored? What does the city with recurring Os have to offer?
Let's start with the glamour. Welcome to 'Hollywood North'. Its shiny skyscrapers, picturesque Old Town, bravely futuristic architecture and massive Pinewood Studios have made Toronto a film location magnet. This is a thriving cultural hub: it hosts a renowned International Film Festival, has the third largest theatre district in the world and is lousy with fabulous art galleries. It's also the birthplace of literary legends Margaret Atwood and Michael Ondaatje, comedians John Candy and Mike Myers, actor Christopher Plummer and musician Neil Young (not to mention BlackBerry, which was invented an hour away).
Now for the geography. Stretching out across the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, Canada's most densely-populated city is superhero-stone-skimming distance from New York State (comic-nerd fact: Joe Shuster - co-creator of Superman - was born in Toronto and based Metropolis on the cityscape of his hometown). While not the capital of the country, this is Canada's financial powerhouse, and how that came to be was a bit of fluke…
Banking headquarters were largely based in Montreal, but when the Party Quebecois swept into power in 1976 - seeking total independence for Quebec from Canada - the English-speaking businesses hotfooted it to Toronto. What they found was a puritanical backwater, a sober place of beige food and early nights, with the nauseating nickname: 'Toronto the Good'. Montreal's loss was Toronto's gain and the city's been piling on cultural weight ever since. Hedonism had found a new home.
British colonialists founded the city as the Town of York in 1793 and officially named it the City of Toronto in 1834 (the name originates from Mohawk phrase 'tkaronto', meaning 'where there are trees standing in the water'). After 1945 numerous waves of immigrants arrived, and they continue to do so, rendering this one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world.
One in every two people living in Toronto were born outside of Canada, so this city is effervescent with the babble of over 140 languages and dialects. Toronto encourages and celebrates ethnic differences, particularly during its many festivals (… largely centred around food). As a result, distinct cultural neighbourhoods have emerged - such as Greektown, Koreatown, Little Italy and Little Portugal - making this no cultural melting pot, but a mosaic. So lastly, good news gourmands: Toronto is your global buffet.
Still evolving and fostering its identity, this outpost of the British Empire hovers between being seriously conservative and wildly liberal (you can't drink on the street, but both men and women can walk about topless; and many here are fiercely ardent about smoking pot). Toronto is cosmopolitan yet unpretentious, both diverse and unique. It's time for the much under-hyped 'T.O.' to demand the world's attention.

Select shots from the Fire's 1-1 draw with Portland presented by MiAllstate
After a lackluster performance last weekend out in LA, the Fire are in Portland for what should be a much sterner test against a Timbers team unbeaten in home regular season play for over a year (1:30pm CT on My50 / TWCWI). The Timbers will also be looking to avenge the 2-2 draw in the team's only meeting last season where a brilliant Fire comeback left Caleb Porter seething. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
A tweak in formation option A: Packing the midfield
Against a Portland team playing their usual 4-3-3 formation, a safer option for the Fire, especially away from home, is to play another holding midfielder alongside Jeff Larentowicz in an attempt to pack the midfield. Portland rely on late runs from players like Will Johnson and another holding midfielder would ensure the Fire would be able to track these runs more effectively.
Logan Pause would be the prime candidate to partner Larentowicz in the engine room. Portland always look to get playmaker Diego Valeri on the ball and rely on his through balls to create many of the team's chances. Pause and Larentowicz read the game extremely well and are masters at intercepting the kind of balls Valeri will be looking to play.
This option requires that the Fire drop one of its attacking players, which in this case could be Chris Rolfe who is battling an injury. The approach could be seen as a negative one, but playing against a team unbeaten at home for over a year and one that scored the third highest amount of goals in the league last season, the Men in Red also need be realistic.
A tweak in formation option B: Eliminating the target striker
A more progressive option for the Fire this weekend would be eliminating the target striker completely in favor of a smaller and quicker attack. This move would see Juan Luis Anangono, a player isolated during large stretches of last weekend's match, drop to the bench in favor of a quicker, more dynamic player such as Quincy Amarikwa, a player on the cusp of a starting eleven place.
In last weekend's match against the Union, Portland were undone on more than a few occasions by some neat and quick interplay by the Philly midfielders and strikers. With this smaller formation, the Fire will have more opportunities to play this type of game.
The interplay between players such as Duka, Rolfe, Joya, Amarikwa, Alex and Nyarko could certainly cause the Timbers problems with Benji Joya's goal last week serving as a classic example of this: Amarikwa playing a brilliant through ball to Alex who in turn found Joya at the back post for a tap in finish.
While this formation would certainly make the Fire quicker, it should also provide the Men in Red with an opportunity to have more possession and even slow the game down at times, especially if the away team manages to take the lead. With possession below 45% in last week's loss, an emphasis on keeping more of the ball is also necessary.
Set pieces: a weakness for both teams
Both the Fire and Timbers have had problems defending set pieces in the past and that was apparent again during the first match of the season for both teams. Fire defender Bakary Soumare admitted fault after his mark was able to head home the winner for Chivas while Portland also gave up a goal from a corner against the Union.
The Fire's defensive play from crosses and set pieces was certainly suspect last weekend and coach Frank Yallop made no secret of his disappointment at how his team gave up goals in this manner.
Though Portland are not a very big team, players like Diego Valeri and Gaston Fernandez are some of the best set piece takers in the league and a more cohesive performance by the Fire back four is needed on Sunday afternoon. On the other side of the ball, with the Timbers also looking frail on set pieces, I expect the Fire to load the box when the dead ball opportunities arise.
Prediction: 1-1 with the Fire goal coming from Alex
Stephen Piggott is a contributor to Chicago-Fire.com. Follow him on Twitter @irish_steve
WATCH: Clint Mathis on what it will take to earn a result in Portland
Quincy Amarikwa has become somewhat of a statistical phenomenon in his time with the Chicago Fire.
Throughout his six seasons in MLS, Amarikwa has collected his paycheck in a super-sub role, bringing that extra bit of energy to go at defenders when his team is looking for a goal. Amarikwa has just 14 starts in 82 MLS appearances, nearly half of which (6) came with Toronto FC in 2012.
While he could always help generate some offense, Amarikwa's stat line wasn't anything too special during his first four MLS seasons, tallying four goals and four assists in 67 regular season games for San Jose, Colorado and Toronto FC between 2009-2012.
Flash forward to last year the way he earned his spot with the Fire. in a preseason friendly against San Jose in Santa Barbara, Calif. Amarikwa, who joined the team at their preseason training base earlier that day, ended up coming in for the final 15 minutes of a 0-0 deadlock.
Amarikwa made the most of his short time on the field, earning a penalty that was eventually converted by Jeff Larentowicz to give the team a 1-0 victory over the Quakes.
Those 15 minutes earned him a contract with the club and were the start of what has become dubbed as "Quincy Time", i.e., the short amount of time Amarikwa has to work with in order to produce offense.
This bore out over the course of last season when the veteran MLS forward racked up the best goals to minutes ratio in MLS, tallying three in just 299 minutes or .90 goals per 90 minutes.
With his goal in Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Chivas USA, his scoring rate with the Fire actually increased to 1.08 per 90 minutes. Meaning in theory, statistically, Amarikwa is good for at least a goal a game.
In 332 minutes with the Fire, Amarikwa has matched the goal total he racked up playing 1958 minutes over his previous four MLS seasons.
So what's the craziest part of all this?
He's never started a match for the Fire, making 15 MLS appearances in just over a year. After consulting the TrueCar Player Registry, aside from newbie Benji Joya, Amarikwa is the only player in club history to score a goal without having started an MLS match.
Furthermore, Amarikwa has never even played a full half for the Men in Red – the most minutes logged in one game has been 43, which came in the 4-1 destruction of D.C. United on July 20 last season. Even though he didn't score in that game, he did earn the penalty kick that Mike Magee converted for Fire goal number four.
He's also scored each of his last three appearances for the Fire, dating back to a 3-0 win last October at D.C. United.
Amarikwa has surely done well enough in his short minutes with the Fire to earn more playing time and perhaps even his first start. Surely it'll come at some point this season and when it does, his impressive goals to minutes ratio will inevitably drop.
Still, it's hard to argue against seeing more "Quincy Time".
WATCH: Quincy Amarikwa's body of work for the Chicago Fire
Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
Overall thoughts on the game
"If you look at the game as a whole, for us, we were poor. I thought our whole demeanor wasn't what we've seen and worked on in preseason. Just very disappointing. Having said that, coming back and tying the game 2-2, we fought back, kept going, got back to tie the game, and to give up a set play like that is poor on our behalf. We've got to learn from it, we got to move on, but very disappointing."
On the rebuilding of the backline
"Defensive set plays is everybody. I haven't yet seen a replay of the third Chivas goal, but it didn't look good from where I was sitting. It looked like a free header from six yards out. If you give that to anybody, they're going to score. All in all, I thought we had a few chances in the game. Sunday afternoon, tough conditions with the heat, but there's no excuses for us; we have to make sure that we're ready to play and dig deep when we need to. We should've at least gotten a tie out of the game."
Thoughts on Benji Joya's debut
"Yeah, he scored a goal, he did well. He's young; you're going to get young decisions. He had a couple of fouls where I thought maybe he shouldn't have dived in, but he did fine."
On Mike Magee
"To be honest, he's still a bit injured, so I didn't want to risk him in this game. We said maybe, but I had already put Logan [Pause] on, Chris Rolfe was cramping, and we had already used all our subs. Mike was good for maybe ten minutes but we had to change it a little bit. It is what it is. I think Mike wanted to be part of it today and I did as well, but I didn't want to risk it and give him 25 minutes when he probably only had 10 in him, and his hamstring is still a little bit tight, so I didn't want to go there."
If he saw anything of concern
"I think just our demeanor especially in the last goal against, our heads dropped a little bit with the two goals against. I think Quincy [Amarikwa] sparked us a little bit, did well, made it difficult for them to play against us, and all of a sudden, they get chances out of that. There are some positives, if you like, but losing is terrible, it never feels good no matter how you look at it. For us as a group, we have to make sure that we don't buckle under and we're ready for the fight until the last minute of the game. If you're not ready to fight, then we're in trouble."
Chicago Fire defender Bakary Soumare
Overall thoughts on the game
"It was unfortunate. We worked really hard the second half to comeback; we could've gotten away with one point, unfortunately it didn't happen. We have to regroup for next Sunday and hopefully get a good result."
On Chicago's spirit in making a comeback
"It showed character. It showed that the guys that came into the game, Quincy and Benji, they already played and they gave us a great push. They came out in the right moment, worked hard and gave us two goals to comeback and we let it slip in the end."
On the backline's performance
"Every time you give up three goals, you can't say you're figured out too well. Our goal this season was not to concede as many goals, and today we gave up three so you can't say we did a good job. We worked really hard; the coaching staff has done a great job with the backline, working on defense. We know we conceded three goals today and we're not happy about that."
Chicago Fire midfielder Benji Joya
First goal in first game as a professional
"This week, all I've put in my mind is to get the debut and get a goal and get my name on the score sheet and luckily, the first touch I had today turned into a goal and I'm really proud of that."
Overall thought on the game
"It's part of the game. Sometimes you comeback and at the end, you get a little bit low and they get a good corner, good cross and that's what pros are going to do. If you slack, they're going to come out on top. I'm really proud of the effort of the guys and it's the beginning of the season and we still have another game to look forward to and we really need to focus on the next game and get the win."
On the team's effort to win the game
"The effort was there, things didn't go our way this game, but it happens. Soccer is back and forth and you just have to be constant. Things didn't go our way today and we have to keep looking forward to the next game."

TACTICAL: Rebuilt Fire defense gets first real test against Chivas USA's Erick Torres and Mauro Rosales
The Fire are in Los Angeles for the first game of the season looking to start off on a good note unlike this time last year when the team fell to the other team in LA, 4-0. As per usual, Chivas USA's offseason was filled with turmoil, but there is a new air of optimism around the club after it was bought by MLS. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Fire's new look back line – how will teams offseason acquisitions work as a unit?
New Fire head coach Frank Yallop was very upfront about his desire for the team to improve defensively this season after the team gave up a whopping 52 goals last year. It is likely that two new additions to the defense will start on Sunday afternoon, with former RSL utility player Lovel Palmer slotting in a right back and former Sounder Jhon Kennedy Hurtado set to start in the middle.
Hurtado's partnership with Bakary Soumare at the heart of the Fire's defense is crucial to the team's success and both players will be looking to continue their good preseason form. In the air, both players are clearly dominant but it will be important that they do not get stretched by the Chivas USA attack especially with a player like Mauro Rosales looking to play balls behind the defense for Erick Torres and co.
Frank Yallop likes to have his fullbacks get forward and support the attack and Palmer certainly fits that style of play. The Fire's distribution out of the back last season was not a strong point and Palmer's good technical ability will mean the team will not be giving the ball needlessly back to the opposition as much this season.
It will certainly take time for the new look defense to gel, but a good start and perhaps a clean sheet would build confidence before the tougher tests ahead in the form of Portland and New York.
A new back line for Chivas USA – opportunities for the Fire to take?
Chivas USA overhauled the squad again this offseason but the team that gave up the most goals in the league last year don't look like they've improved in that department, at least not on paper.
The team went undefeated in preseason but it remains to be seen whether this unit can be effective during league play. It is unclear who Fire legend Carlos Bocanegra will be paired with -- Bobby Burling or newcomer Andrew Jean-Baptiste but in either case, if the Fire creative players like Mike Magee, Patrick Nyarko and Alex can get in 1v1 situations, I like this team's chances.
The Fire could have more luck on the outsides, especially down the right where Eric Avila has a habit of straying too far forward from his full back position. The combination of little help defensively from Mauro Rosales and the attacking threats of Dilly Duka and Gonzalo Segares could pay dividends for the Men in Red.
A switch in philosophy – high pressure replaces the counter attack
For much of last season, the Fire tended to sit deep and try to hit teams on the counter attack but with the change in head coach comes a change in philosophy. Instead of the counter attack game, Yallop has emphasized a high pressure philosophy, with the Fire's attackers putting pressure on the opponents' defense when they are in possession.
This tactic was apparent in the team's final match of the Diamond Desert Cup in Tucson last week where Juan Luis Anangono, Chris Rolfe and Dilly Duka all put the Chivas Guadalajara youth team defense under constant pressure and forced a number of mistakes from the Mexican squad.
If the team can push the issue against the new look Chivas USA back four and force the team into giving up possession, it will only help the Fire's chances. Though possession is not always an important factor, especially in an away match, the team will certainly be looking to control the tempo and increase the possession statistics this season and this change in philosophy should help that.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Mike Magee and Dilly Duka.

WATCH: C.J. Brown says, "The first game we get to focus on ourselves"
Chicago Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa proved rather effective in what time he got on the field last year (he scored three goals in 299 minutes). In his time off of it, he also proved to be perhaps the top MLS player in the league's Fantasy Manager game.
With the start of the 2014 MLS season just two days away, he's presenting a challenge: #BeatQuincy at MLS Fantasy Manager... See below:

When asked about finalizing his roster before the start of the 2014 season Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop said on a conference call last week that he and his staff were "looking at other possibilities with other teams about maybe trading. We're forever on the lookout."
The options have become clearer as Yallop and his staff have pulled the trigger on two trades in three days.
On Monday, the team acquired left back Greg Cochrane from the LA Galaxy while the team acquired midfielder Matt Watson (above) from Vancouver in exchange for an international roster spot.
Neither player is brought in with a view of starting but it seems likely Yallop and his staff will look to both to provide depth. Cochrane played 12 matches for LA during his rookie season in 2013, filling in mostly for veteran Todd Dunivant.
Watson, who's known for a high work ethic and steady, consistent performances, played a more regular role with the Whitecaps over the past two seasons, appearing in 21 matches in 2013.
The acquisitions mean that the team roster sits at 29 players four days out from the season opener vs. Chivas USA. While MLS rosters can accomodate 30 players, Yallop has said he expects to start the season with 28, likely using the open two spots to earn allocation money from the league to help with the team's tight salary situation.
With the team admitting they're working towards a loan deal with Tottenham Hotspur's Grant Ward, it seems likely more moves could be imminent.
Stay tuned.

Sir Jackie Stewart has offered to help Romain Grosjean, saying his "enormous potential" is being "overshadowed" by the number of accidents he is involved in...
Sir Jackie Stewart has offered to help Romain Grosjean, saying his "enormous potential" is being "overshadowed" by the number of accidents he is involved in.
Lotus driver Grosjean is a man under fire after he was involved in yet another incident at the Japanese Grand Prix. This time Mark Webber was on the receiving end and the Australian called him a "first-lap nutcase" after the race while Jenson Button told him to "take a good look at himself and sort his s**t out".
Lotus team boss Eric Boullier, meanwhile, feels it's up to Grosjean to get his act together saying: "I have spoken a lot with him. We changed the routine, we tried to make it not more comfortable because I needed a tougher environment for him, and I needed to push him, but he is the only one who can fix this."
Three-time World Champion Stewart, who is an ambassador for Lotus' owners Genii Capital, feels he can help Grosjean to back on track.
"I would love to help Romain, because I think he has enormous potential," Stewart is quoted as saying on BBC Sport.
"Any more accidents could jeopardise his chances of driving for Lotus next season, let alone the very best teams."
He added: "It's his first full season in F1 and he is fast enough to win races.
"I actually think he could have won one or two Grand Prix this season, but at the moment his potential is being overshadowed by the number of accidents he's having."
Stewart's previous offer to help the Frenchman was turned down, but he says he's still willing to help out.
"He had already had a few accidents then and I thought I might be able to help him avoid them in the future," Stewart said.
"I'd been a young entrant into Formula One myself and had also run a fairly good driver development programme at Stewart Grand Prix, when I'd helped drivers like David Coulthard, Juan Pablo Montoya, Gil de Ferran and Allan McNish.
"Romain, who I have to say is an extremely nice young man, chose not to take up the offer.
"The season was congested then, he was about to go on his honeymoon, and he felt he had his own people assisting him.
"When the time comes and he wants to do it, I will always be there for him because of my relationship with the team.
"For some reason, racing drivers of all kinds feel they don't need coaches once they leave karting. That's unlike any other sport I know."
Grosjean, meanwhile, is eager to stay out of trouble.
"Since Singapore, I've been trying to be really cautious at the starts and it's been all the more frustrating to be involved in an incident in Japan," he said.
"When approaching the first corner, I was watching Sergio [Perez] on my left to make sure there was no contact with him. I didn't expect such a big speed difference between me and Mark braking into the corner, we collided and that was it.
"It was a stupid mistake. Mark came to see me after the race and was obviously not happy, but I apologised and we have to move on.
"I've sat down and looked at things again with the team; for sure it's still an area we need to improve. We're clearly focusing on this area for the next races."

The Elk County Catholic Crusaders came up with a big District Nine League victory over the scrappy DuBois Area Beavers by a 65-51 score in a game played at the Aaron J. Straub gym at Elk Catholic.
The game was a game of runs, as each team had several runs throughout the contest. At times during the contest, it looked like the Crusaders might run away with the game, but then the Beavers would put together a run of their own to get back into the game.
"Mitchel Haberberger played a great game for us tonight off the bench," said Coach Aaron Straub of the Crusaders. "I have been telling the team that we need to get more points from our bench people and tonight Mitchel came through big-time for us.
"This was an unusual game tonight. We played well except for a stretch in the second period and one in the third period. We finished well tonight, as our play in the fourth quarter was excellent. I was really pleased with the way our offense did against their zone defense. We will be seeing more zone defenses down the stretch and will need to continue to play well against them."
Elk Catholic's Mitchel Haberberger came off the bench to record a double-double on Thursday with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Mitchel was 9-for-12 from the field to lead the Crusaders. Two other Crusaders were in double figures last evening, as Ricky Pearsall and Ben Daghir each chipped in with 14 points to aid the Crusaders' cause. Also hitting the scoring column for Elk County were Darren Simons with six points, Tyler Herzing with five, Eric Wehler with four, Ben Wortman with two, and Luke Daghir and Josh Gebauer with one each.
Pearsall had five rebounds and Simons four, while Pearsall, Herzing and L. Daghir each had a blocked shot.
Garret Peterson led the DuBois squad with 17 points, followed by Tanner Gooden with 14, Mark Felix with six, Dom Kriner and Nate Liddle with five each, and Nate Avery and Paul Butler with two each. Peterson led the Beavers in rebounds with 11.
The DuBois squad went out to a 5-0 lead at the start of the game on a field goal by Gooden and a trey by Peterson. A foul goal by Gebauer and a trey by B. Daghir made it 5-4 before Kriner hit a trey to make it 8-4 DuBois. Herzing answered with a trey for Elk, followed by a foul goal by Gooden and a field goal by Peterson to make it 11-7 DuBois. Pearsall hit a trey to make it 11-10. Avery scored for DuBois, but Elk answered with two foul goal by Wehler. A bucket by Gooden was then answered by a trey and a field goal by B. Daghir to give Elk a 17-15 lead at the end of one.
Pearsall and Herzing hit fielders to open the second period, then Simons hit a trey to extend Elk's lead to nine points, 24-15. A Peterson bucket was followed by two Haberberger field goals and two foul goals by B. Daghir to make it 30-17. Gooden and Haberberger exchanged field goals, then DuBois scored the final seven points of the half to make it 32-26 at the halfway point of the game.
The Beavers hit two quick buckets to open the second half, cutting the lead to 32-30. A trey by Simons made it 35-30, then two foul goals by Liddle were followed by two field goals by Haberberger, 39-32. Once again the Beavers put on a run, scoring the next 10 points to take a 40-39 lead late in the period. L. Daghir hit a foul goal to tie the game, then Felix and Pearsall traded buckets. A trey by Liddle was followed by a bucket by Haberberger and three foul goals by Pearsall, who was fouled at the buzzer. This gave the Crusaders a 47-45 lead with one period remaining.
Elk Catholic controlled the final period, as Haberberger and Peterson exchanged early field goals, then Pearsall added four points and B. Daghir and Haberberger two points each to give Elk a 57-47 lead. Felix scored for DuBois, but Haberberger hit a field goal and B. Daghir two foul goals to make it 61-49. Gooden scored the final points for DuBois, then Elk added four more, two each by Wehler and Wortman, to make the final score 65-51.

It is a concern of AHDI that medical transcription professionals are often viewed by their employers and the clients they serve as keyboard specialists who have a familiarity with medical terminology which enables them to transcribe dictated reports for an originator's signature.
In contrast, it is the view of AHDI that keyboarding and transcription should not be confused. Medical transcription involves translation from oral to written in order to generate a record of a patient's healthcare documentation. AHDI views medical transcription as a medical language specialty which requires medical knowledge and understanding, sound judgment, deductive reasoning, and the ability to detect inconsistencies in medical dictation.
In an effort to elevate perceptions of the medical transcription profession, AHDI contacted Hay Management Consultants, a worldwide human resources consulting firm with extensive expertise in work analysis and job measurement. AHDI asked Hay to:
Part I of the Hay Study, "Analysis of Current Work Practices in the Medical Transcription Profession: Findings and Recommendations," was published in early 1999.
Part II of the Hay Study, "Compensation for Medical Transcriptionists," has also been published and distributed to AHDI members in the last two months of 1999.
Copies of Part II of the Hay Study are available now. Please log in and reference the Members Only content box to download your copy.
This study cost AHDI approximately $70,000. The 1998 House of Delegates special session for component association leaders challenged components and members to help raise the funds needed to complete this project. Contributions can be made in any amount and should be mailed to AHDI, 4230 Kiernan Ave. #130, Modesto, CA 95356. Or fax your credit card contribution to AHDI, 209-527-9633.

Well I'm not too bummed about ND beating USC. I didn't think USC realistically had a shot at winning that game anyway. If Barkley was playing I might have gotten my hopes up.
But with the way our last two season have gone I will gladly take an 11-1 record against what was easily one of the toughest schedules in the nation and a spot in the Sugar Bowl. Georgia should be very thankful the SEC allowed them to avoid Bama, LSU, and A&M in the regular season.
But winning that Sugar Bowl would be some serious momentum going into next season. We're losing some really good players like Bostic and Gillislee, but with Jones breaking out against FSU last night and Fred Taylor's kid coming in next year who's a total stud our backfield will be deep as hell so losing Gilislee won't hurt all that bad. If most of our juniors come back next year this team will be dangerous.

It will come as no surprise to hear that Adrian Sutil is relishing his time back in Formula One after a one-year absence...
It will come as no surprise to hear that Adrian Sutil is relishing his time back in Formula One after a one-year absence.
Sutil lost his seat at Force India to Nico Hulkenberg last year and was unable to find another spot on the grid. However, with Hulkenberg moving on to Sauber, Sutil saw off competition from Jules Bianchi to secure a race-seat with the Silverstone outfit once more.
The German put up an impressive showing in Sunday's season-opening grand prix in Australia, coming home in seventh spot after twice leading the race.
"It was great fun to come back with a perfect race like that. I enjoyed it a lot," to told the official Formula One website.
"Sahara Force India gave me this chance to come back. Without them I wouldn't have had the opportunity to show such a performance.
"It was great to lead an F1 race for the first time," he added. "I think it was 14 laps and I enjoyed each of them, but I was realistic and knew that a win or podium at this race was not realistic. But I fought hard to stay in front as long as possible."
Sutil believes that the ability to choose his tyres first up after finishing outside of the top ten in qualifying helped him immensely.
"I was very lucky to have the chance to decide which tyres I will start with," he explained.
"And we decided to start on the medium ones. This choice was the right one and I could even have stayed out for some more laps on them. The car felt fantastic and so I was even able to take the lead as all the others ahead of me had to pit earlier to take new tyres."
The 30-year-old is confident that Force India can place consistently in and around the top tier of teams.
"I'm convinced we should fight consistently for points," he asserted. "We need to improve and push hard, but this car looks great and gives me a lot of confidence that we will be successful. These guys in the factory and at the track did a fantastic job. Thanks for such a good car."

This story was corrected on Oct. 14, 2012. An explanation follows the story.
In a league long dominated by Stone Bridge and Langley, there�s a new team looking to put its stamp on the Liberty District volleyball landscape this season. Fairfax finished in the middle of the pack last year, but a talented senior class that has jelled to the tune of a 16-6 record so far this season has the Rebels firmly in the mix with just three games left until district tournament play rolls around.
Fairfax players and coaches, however, aren�t limiting themselves to district success. Even with 17-0 Stone Bridge looking unstoppable and Langley staying solid at 14-3, the Rebels are not afraid to aim higher.
�I told the team from the get-go: states. That was our goal in the preseason,� Fairfax coach Tyler Freiheit said. �There�s too much talent on this team to just be satisfied with a district win or a regional win. I�m talking all the way, and I think they have the ability and talent to do that. It just comes down to their will.�
Indeed, willpower might be the only thing separating Fairfax from a title run, as the Rebels have plenty of seasoned talent roaming the court this year. Six seniors fill the roster, including Megan McKenzie, a 6-foot-one outside hitter and setter who committed to play at Radford last February. Senior Arisa Chavez and junior Neddie Byron are two of the best middle blockers in the area, and senior defensive specialist Geneva Tomajko is one of the district�s leaders in the digs category.
A hard-hitting player and a vocal leader, McKenzie epitomizes the blend of talent and competitive hunger that Fairfax players and coaches are working to solidify as the playoffs draw near. A 3-1 home loss against Stone Bridge on Tuesday reminded them that there remains much work to be done before that level of mental toughness is reached.
�We�re a really well-rounded team. It�s the mental stuff that we�re still working on,� McKenzie said after Tuesday�s loss. �I think we�ve kind of hit the middle of the season where we kind of relax, but as soon as Thursday comes we�re going to be right back up full speed and crush everyone.�
Most teams would have felt at least a small sense of accomplishment for stealing a set from undefeated Stone Bridge, which had only dropped five total sets in the 15 matches prior to Tuesday�s contest. Fairfax, however, was anything but pleased with the result. The Rebels felt they might have won the match had it not been for their missteps late in the second set. Leading the Bulldogs 23-20, Fairfax proceeded to drop the next five points and dig themselves into an 0-2 hole.
Freiheit attributes that slump in large part to an air of invincibility that surrounds Stone Bridge, which has captured the last four Liberty District titles. With reigning region player of the year Ryan Ackermann crushing kills left and right, the defending Northern Region champion Bulldogs often look like a unit that can�t be defeated.
�It�s just a total mindset of a lot of teams that, �Hey, they�re Stone Bridge. They�re going to beat us,�� said Freiheit, a 30-year-old Chantilly alum in his first season as head coach after six years as an assistant. �My team needs to get rid of that mindset and realize that they�re better than Stone Bridge.�
If there�s anyone who doesn�t fear Stone Bridge, it�s McKenzie, who plays club volleyball in the Northern Virginia Volleyball Association on the same team as Ackermann and Kelly Stancik, as well as against several other Stone Bridge players. The versatile McKenzie, who plays middle blocker at the club level and setter and outside hitter for Fairfax, knows the Bulldogs have their vulnerabilities, too.
�I�ve played club with almost every single girl on that team, so I know their shots and tendencies, but it�s always hard to get the whole team to know that and do it,� McKenzie said. �We may just need more preparation. We�ll get them in districts, easy. We�ll come back and beat them in districts.�
With games against South Lakes, Langley and Thomas Jefferson — all teams with winning records — left on the regular season schedule, the Rebels can�t concentrate on the postseason just yet. But if they can summon the type of mental fortitude pushed by McKenzie and Freiheit, perhaps Fairfax will enter November with a shot at the school�s first volleyball district title since 2002.
Correction: Fairfax's season record so far is 16-6.

WAC Inter-Congress on Archaeological Theory in South America
The WAC Inter-Congress on Archaeological Theory in South America will be held in San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca, Argentina, from July 3rd to 7th, 2007. This is the Fourth International Meeting on Archaeological Theory in South America. The Meeting is organized by the Doctorate in Human Sciences of the Faculty of Humanities and the School of Archaeology of the National University at Catamarca, and counts as one of the World Archaeological Congress' activities in the region. After the meetings at Vitoria (Brasil, 1998), Olavarria (Argentina, 2000) and Bogota (Colombia, 2002), and because we know that silence won't help us understand Archaeology in our region, we want to regain the impulse. And with that aim is that we want to meet those who work within Archaeology and those who are in some way interested in Archaeology, pertaining themselves to researched societies, because of their activities or their interests. Extending the dialogue is the one of the aims of the meeting.
