Courtney Barnett performs live in The Current studio
Listen Feature audio
Jun 24, 2014 Listen to all 4 tracks:
Courtney Barnett In-studio
Courtney Barnett - Avant Gardener (Live on 89.3 The Current)
Courtney Barnett - Lance Jr. (Live on 89.3 The Current)
Courtney Barnett - History Eraser (Live on 89.3 The Current)
It's been two and a half years since Courtney Barnett finished writing her breakout single, "Avant Gardener," on a beach three hours from her hometown of Melbourne, Australia. When Mark Wheat asked if someone told her two years ago that she'd be touring the world in support of its success, she admits that she would have found it to be a complete joke.
Performing as a trio with bassist Bones Sloane and drummer Dave Mudie, Courtney Barnett and the Courtney Barnetts (yes, that's how they're billed on band merch) have toured three continents since early March. Tonight she makes her Minnesota debut to a sold out crowd at the Varsity Theater with opening act Benjamin Booker.
Barnett reveals that she and the band have finished recording the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas. After touring with Billy Bragg Down Under, the forthcoming album recording wrapped the day before the trio flew to Indio, Calif., to play Coachella.
Listen to the whole in-studio session to hear Mark Wheat chat with Courtney about the many references in her charming, quirky lyrics, what it was like being on the road with Billy Bragg, and her take on Aussie Tim Cahill's goal in the World Cup match against the Netherlands.
Songs Performed
"Avant Gardener"
"Lance Jr."
"History Eraser"
All songs are off Courtney Barnett's latest record, A Sea of Split Peas, out now on Milk!/Marathon/Mom + Pop.
Hosted by Mark Wheat
Produced by Jade
Engineered by Michael DeMark

- Album Review: Courtney Barnett, 'A Sea of Split Peas' wry sense of humor runs through all 12 tracks on Barnett's recently reissued album, which is actually a compilation of her first two EPs slapped together to satiate her growing fanbase. Witty and evocative, Barnett sings over lo-fi, psych-influenced washes of guitar. But there is also something deceptively poppy about her music.
- New Hot's 15 most anticipated albums of 2014 Now that the year-end lists have finally settled, it's time to build up anticipation for what's to come, so The Current's Music Director and New Hot host, David Safar, has put together a list of the most anticipated albums of 2014. Some records come from familiar artists with definite release dates, some have only have European or Australian releases and some may have been released in late 2013 but are just about to make their big splash in the new year.

Although JESUS CAMP spends about half its time at Becky Fischer's Kids on Fire summer camp in (ironically) Devil's Lake, ND, it could perhaps be more aptly titled JESUS WORLD or KIDS FOR JESUS. Co-directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady center their documentary on three young children, all apparently ten years old or younger: Levi, Tory, and Rachael. These three children are followed from church prayer meetings to their homes (where they recite Christianized pledges of allegiance and are schooled by their mothers in creationism and the fallacies of global warming), and later to a Ted Haggard evangelical convention in Colorado Springs and a pro-life demonstration (complete with red duct tape inscribed LIFE fastened over their mouths) in Washington, D.C. Ewing and Grady remain strictly outside observers these events, offering neither voice-over or commentary.Read more ›
I was totally disturbed by this wonderful documentary simply because, though it is very "fringe" in the extremes of Christianity in the U.S, much of what is presented in "Jesus Camp",especially the attitudes of exclusive right to "The Truth" and an allegiance to the President is very common in even lesser denominations of Fundamentalism ( OKAY...now that remark may spare some Inquisitional attitudes!).Who Becky Fisher is IS real.Who Ted Haggart is ( oh boy was he exposed!) IS real.These children and their "radical stand for Christ" is as real as any Muslim Fundamentalist Extremist.
I was "deprogrammed" (as it were) over time.What bugs me still is that I am a really intelligent human being....BUT if you are needy and aimless, this brand of "Jesus" can be very appealing as any "search for truth or enlightenment".
Don't be shocked by this documentary....fear it...and fight it.I know whereof I speak.
(What.... no hateful retorts yet?.......)
For those of us outside of the movement Fisher's approach to children seems harsh and irresponsible, it has all the markings of brainwashing. One of the most disturbing scenes is where Fisher preaches about double morale, letting the children believe they've let Satan in their heart by prayer in church but acting indifferently to her teachings in school. We see children panicking and bursting out into tears; later when the children start talking in tongues some seem to loose it.
Yet nowhere in the movie there seems to be bad intent from her side, Becky really believes in what she preaches, really believes she's helping those children. The children themselves talk enthusiastically about the sermons and seem determined to convert others or become preachers themselves. At times the people portrayed here seem to live in another universe than yourselves, but at the same time they're completely congruent with their believes. When they denounce science or global warming these people honestly feel others who do are misguided and need saving.
No where in the movie Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, the directors, attempt to explain how their subjects came into believing; their tales of being reborn remain superficial. In doing so the film never gets an judgemental character, but its also ultimately one of the weaknesses in the film. It leaves the viewer with more questions than he bargained for.Read more ›

Alastair Cook shows ruthless side in axing mentor Graham Gooch as England batting coach... and Kevin Pietersen wants to apply
Alastair Cook showed he is prepared to make the big calls demanded of his captaincy in England's new era when he sacked the man who has been a mentor to him throughout his county and international career.
The England captain was the prime mover behind the decision to replace Graham Gooch as batting coach as he continues to take the opportunity handed him in the wake of the Ashes debacle to build his own team and support staff.
Gooch, one of the greatest servants of English cricket and still England's record Test runscorer, was widely expected to go in the clamour for change after a nightmare Ashes tour in which his batsmen regularly under-performed.
Stirring the pot: Alastair Cook (right) showed he won't shy from big calls in the axing of mentor Graham Gooch
Brain food: Cook and coach Peter Moores (right) bond over a bite during a Waitrose sponsorship event
Out: Graham Gooch (left) has left his role as England batting coach after a chastening winter
Kevin Pietersen, sacked by England in the winter, cheekily stated his case on Twitter to replace Graham Gooch and even referenced a couple of his charges.
He tweeted: 'Where do I apply for ENG batting coach job? I promise I won't encourage whistling when you get out or trying to change the game!'
Yet that did not make it any easier
for Cook, in conjunction with new head coach Peter Moores, to wield the
axe on the man who has been such a guide to him ever since his emergence
at Gooch's beloved Essex.
was tough telling a man whose autograph
I used to queue up for that it was time to move on,' said Cook at the launch of Waitrose's sponsorship of the England team. 'I'll remember having to do this for a long time.
'Everyone knows how close we are as friends and in our professional relationship. We've been through a lot with each other so to make this decision about a man I and everyone else respects so much was not easy. But sometimes you have to make tough decisions and they're part and parcel of the job.
Cheeky: Kevin Pietersen (left) tweeted that he is available to replace Gooch as England batting coach
You can whistle, pal: Pietersen's tweet 'application' for the England batting coach job
told me when we were talking that he had to make lots of hard decisions
as captain, he mentioned David Gower, and that he understands. So for
him to say that when he's being told by
a 29-year-old that it was time to move on shows what sort of person he is. We are not blaming him
for us not scoring 400 often enough. It's just we feel it's time for fresh faces.
'We were both clear when we talked that we want to remain friends. This is a professional decision and we didn't take into account what we feel about each other. We are going to carry on working together and hopefully other guys will too. I have worked with Graham for 11 years and I know working one to one is his greatest strength.'
Gooch, who has served England as player, coach, manager and selector, said after the Ashes that he did not want to bow out on such a low note and even in the last week or so he has maintained his ferocious work ethic and professionalism by having one-on-one coaching sessions with Michael Carberry and Matt Prior. He will continue working with individuals, while it would be no surprise should he return in some capacity to Essex.
Fresh face: Already mentoring the limited overs sides, Graham Thorpe is the favourite to replace Gooch
'After discussions with Alastair he informed me he was in favour of change,' said a clearly disappointed Gooch, who became full-time batting coach in 2012 but handed over one-day responsibilities to Graham Thorpe last year.
'Although this is sad news I respect his and Peter Moores' right to implement this change of direction. Alastair is the right man to captain England. He commands respect and will always put his body on the line for England. He is the ultimate professional and it has been an honour to see him develop.'
Thorpe is the favourite to replace Gooch and England's desire to have fewer coaches with them all the time would suit the former Surrey man, who is wary about spending the bulk of his life on the road. Mark Ramprakash, who is highly regarded both by England and at Middlesex, is a realistic alternative.
Confidante: Gooch has long been a mentor for Cook, but took it on the chin when told to move on
Whoever takes over, the change sweeping through England continues apace. Moores and Paul Farbrace have replaced Andy Flower and Richard Halsall, while the coach and captain will now consider the futures of the other leading members of the support staff in David Saker, Mushtaq Ahmed and Bruce French.
What is clear is that nothing will be done without the say-so of Cook. He has been challenged to make this England team very much his own and he has shown he is prepared to grasp that chance by being instrumental in the departure of Kevin Pietersen and the decision to overlook Ashley Giles in favour of Moores. Now the pupil has said goodbye to his old teacher Gooch.
Next call: The fate of bowling coach, Australian David Saker (left), is yet to be confirmed
Time to shine: Cook will have a major say on the backroom staff's make-up and then be judged on results
England have invested a lot in their captain and he will be judged on that this summer and beyond. For now he is prepared to defend his record.
'I've always realised that I'm privileged to be in this job,' said Cook. 'Last winter was an incredibly tough time but I've lost one series as captain. We know how important the Ashes are but my record as Test captain is not poor by any stretch of the imagination.'
It will be what happens for the rest of his time in charge, though, that will define Cook as an England captain. For now he is responding to the call to do it his way.

'Listen to your hearts
Find the truth that's beating there.
Open to your longing
For right living in the world.
Know that it is possible
For the point of power is now.
These are the most important things:
Hold your vision. Love with passion.
Speak your truth, and also listen.
Open to the dreams that call you
To a truer manifestation
Of the spirit of creation
And honouring of sacredness.'
Welcome to my website.
I open with the above quotation because it summarises the philosophy underlying my approach to facilitation.

Skip to comments.Obama: Grounds for impeachment
Posted on 05/06/2009 6:42:47 AM PDT by Finop
Obama funds $20M tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA This is the news that didn't make the headlines... By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza . The "presidential determination" which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.
Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
A review of Barack Obama's most recent actions since he was inaugurated a little more than two weeks ago:
His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.
His first one-on-one interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.
He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted..
He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and 9/11..
Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to and live in the US at American taxpayer expense.
To verify for yourself: www.thefederalregister.com/d.p/2009-02-04-E9-2488
This latest treason is a drop of luke warm spit compared to the oceans he's already committed.
That is pretty telling don't you agree. Now he's going to bring all those terrorists over here, just great. What a disaster in the making ...
Per my tagline, nobody's going to lift a finger because nobody gives a $#!+
Democrats were bragging they got 70% of jewish vote, or was it 80%?
Who can claim to love America and do the things B.O. has done? You have to hate America, its foundation, and its people; and you must hate it so badly that you want to destroy it. Clear and simple.
Is ZerO going to strap bombs on them and send them to red states?
The word "sleeper" comes to mind, don't you think?
They got 123% of the Jewish vote
They'll take up more space in Detroit and Toledo.
al thoooooooough, he COULD send them to MY house (snicker)
well when they start blowing up american schoolbuses the democrats might have a hard time getting elected
hey! cut it out! get your facts straight!
There are 23% of us (Americans who are Jewish) that PROUDLY, VERY PROUDLY AND VERY LOUDLY voted against the One!!!!!
on the other hand, I am deeply saddened at the stupid other 78% of us.
G-d help us, G-d help the USA, G-d help Israel!
I don't care for the guy any more than the rest of you, but not liking his policies are not grounds for impeachement.
Tea Parties.
Oboma was born and raised a radical Muslim.
Oboma is forcing Sharia law on our banks and automotive industry.
Oboma funds Muslim groups around the world. Not once has he funded any other religious group.
Oboma is anti-Christan and anti-Israel.
Our new president represents the Muslims around the globe. The American people are not his concern. He just needs our money to help his Muslim brothers.
Oboma is not Americas friend.
No. His civilian army will round up those people. It's Allah - or prison.
And, what I fear, he will continue to commit.
No, I think he's going to strap lawyers on them and send them to red states.
How many people would have voted for this clown had the MSM pounded on about what he actually believes and stands for? He wouldn't have even gotten the nomination. The oath that he botched was to uphold and defend the Constitution. He doesn't believe in the document's words and his actions tell it all. What would a high crime and misdemeanor look like to you??? Dismantling the country and transforming it into another socialist state counts in my book.
Obama Signs Presidential Determination Allowing Palestinians Loyal to Hamas to Resettle In US
Presidential Determination No. 2009-15 Unexpected Urgent Refugee and Migration Needs Related To Gaza
Pres. Obama Invites Hamas Terrorists to America
Dems got 70-80% of the leftist vote! Jews are liberals first, Jewish much, much further down the line.
Don't ever let them rule your free speech and your guns!
In the oath of office, Obummer swore to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the UNited States of ASmerica which he is clearly not doing. Grounds for impeachment? Undeniable.
You could bet your sweet bippy on that.
. . . at the speed of LEFT
and extravagantly.
Unless and until God or the oligarchy decide his puppet routine has reached it's closing date.
Then, far worse, will soon descend.
Can you please explain how the express language of this executive order authorizes Obama to bring Hamas intyo the US? The order talks about migration but I didn't see a reference to immigration into the US.
"well when they start blowing up american schoolbuses the democrats might have a hard time getting elected"
Read my tag line.
Not gonna happen with this bunch on Congress.
My thoughts exactly.
If Obama was a farmer he would put foxes into his chicken coup to promote peace and understanding between the species.
see my post #17....stop painting us with the broad brush!
Using our tax dollars to force the banks and auto industry to obey Sharia law is our problem.
He may be playing to the liberal special interest groups right now, but once he controls the life lines of this country, those people will obey him too, whether they like it or not.
No one, neither free nor bond, rich or poor, will be able to buy or sell unless they obey the new laws. In order to enforce these new laws, the "modern technology president" will order a chip be implanted into every American - to guarantee no one gets more than their "fair share" during this pre-planned economic crises.
Eventually, Americas wealth will be "equally shared" with the world, and Oboma will be praised by the multitudes.
No, he took a second, secretive oath later. The media was not allowed. His oath to the Constitution was invalidated, and his second oath was without the Christian Bible.
What he swore allegiance to no one will ever know.
How can you impeach someone who is corrupt and everyone surrounding him is corrupt as well?
The judges, senate, house, unions, MSM, Schools, etc....it ain't gonna' happen! Even if he blatantly came out and said "screw America and the Constitution..." he would stay in office!
My hope is in God because all else is futile! And before someone gets on my case for that last statement, I am very active in Tea parties and fighting this.However, I realize that God will be the Victor in this and there is no way to win unless GOD is sought out first!
I think this is false rumor - why would the U.S. Goverment have a .com site when it is .gov for everything else? Also, why are there adds on a governmental site?
ACORN got Zero elected via massive voter fraud.
It's a great tag line. Can I borrow it?
His order to legally protect some terrorist used to be at whitehouse.org. under his proclamations is gone now.
How does the President even have money to spend on such things? Congress creates the budget, it isnt King 0bama's whim. What budget is he taking this out of and is it lawful to do so?
These are not your huddled masses yearning to be free. Some of them are going to be used to silence FReepers, Tea Party Organizers, conservative talk show hosts and conservative Federal Judges. They are going to be the Obama Fedayeen.
"Its a great tag line. Can I borrow it?"
I missed this.
What is this about?

I have a 1992 Toyota Tercel; it uses spark plugs NGK RN11YC4. The plug threads for cylinder #1 stripped out, and I repaired them with a standard rethread kit. After 60,000 miles, the repair threads blew out. My mechanic and a machine shop tell me there is no oversize repair kit, and I should replace the head.
The original plugs are 14mm. There appears to be space to tap out the threads to 18mm. Is there an 18mm equivalent to the NGK RN11YC4?

Disclaimer: Don't own Rurouni Kenshin. .
DEDICATION: Terwesa/The Candy Holic/The Sarcastic One/The Skittle Hater... ah...too many nicknames!! @_@ *I'm* confused...eh...anyhow, this was written for you...that's why there's extra sarcasm! ^.^ (*glares* You'd BETTER review...)
Third Time's a Charm (11/25/03--11/27/03) - How many times can Sanosuke get Megumi mad in a day?
Takani Megumi stood outside her door, where Sano was getting dressed. She rolled her eyes, her hands on her hips, waiting, waiting, waiting.
They say patience is rewarded.
Well, at this moment, she didn't give a damn.
Her hands curled into a fist as she began banging on the door. "Get out!" she demanded.
"Hold on, hold on, hold on...."
"Tori-atama..." Her voice was getting dangerously low.
"Hold on!"
Idiot. Nothing but an idiot.
Ah, today was the day indeed, when Kenshin was finally getting married to Kaoru. We had all waited a great deal of time for this day, even Megumi, who had finally admitted to Kaoru that she felt nothing but friendship for the red-haired rurouni. Kaoru had announced that it would be a Western-styled wedding, which had meant more things for everyone to learn.
Okay, so she was flattered that Kaoru had chosen her to be her bridesmaid. Sano had swelled with pride when Kenshin chose him to be his best man. In fact, they had both been relatively happy.
Until they both found out that they were to be "walking down the aisle" together.
That had certainly taken the fun out of it.
"Tori-atama, if you don't get out of my room this instant, I'm going to break this door down!" It was an empty threat, and she knew that he knew it. She had absolutely no physical strength whatsoever.
"One minute!" he hollered. Megumi knew that his "one minute" could turn into "one hour." She sighed, crossing her arms over her chest, preparing herself for the long wait.
Ohh, why had she accepted the offer? Kaoru-chan had plenty of friends, she told herself, and Tae-san or Misao-chan or somebody else could have easily filled the role of being bridesmaid. But no, she picked her. Naturally, Kenshin would pick Sanosuke to be his best man; the mere thought of Saitoh or Hiko or Aoshi walking down the aisle was, to put it simply, damn scary.
Now that she thought about it, why had Kaoru chosen her to be her bridesmaid? There were other options. And if it had been her, she surely wouldn't have chosen her "rival" to be her bridesmaid...
Megumi's eyes narrowed into tiny little slits. She knew.
Now, it was common knowledge that Sagara Sanosuke and Takani Megumi hated each other's guts. Oh, they did. Bickering, fighting, yelling, screaming was all you could hear from their mouths. Never was there a peaceful, civilized moment between the two.
Yet despite that, there are rumors...oh, so many, many rumors that the two of them are together. Dumb as it sounds, it's true. She could never go out on a doctor's errand without hearing her name with his. It angered her...no, frankly, it pissed her off.
Kaoru-chan was one of those people. There was always that hinting smile on her lips, the way whenever she was in a room with Sano she would walk out and drag Kenshin and Yahiko out, leaving them alone together. The way she would give her looks, the way she would point to Sano behind her back and smile, that goddamned smile.
Oh, yes, it definitely pissed her off.
So now, she's stuck in a wedding being a bridesmaid, with Sano being the best man. They both have to walk down the aisle. Together.
Damn it all.
"Ten minutes, everybody!" Kaoru walked out, white wedding dress on, hair tied up and looking absolutely gorgeous. Her face was flushed, and she walked over to Megumi, seeing that she still wasn't dressed.
"Megumi-chan!" She gasped. "Ten minutes, and you're still not dressed?! What about your hair? Your make-up? Everything!"
With a wry smile, she pointed to the door. "Tori-atama's in there. And so is my dress."
Kaoru had the look in her eye...the look...the look when you know that everything is NOT all right.
"SANOSUKE!" She banged on the door. "Open up!"
"I'm almost done, dammit!" His voice was annoyed. "If I could just get this stupid tie thingy around my neck..."
"It's no use," Megumi told her. "I've been yelling at him for the past half-hour. I swear, he's never getting out of there."
"Oh...!!!" Kaoru looked around, frustrated. "Yahiko!"
"Get over here, that's what!"
Oh, boy, Kaoru in PMS mode. Wonderful. Just wonderful. Right before her wedding, too.
Could this day possibly get any worse?
"Shit!!" A loud curse, and a ripping sound. Megumi's eyes narrowed.
"Tori-atama, what the hell are you doing in there?!"
"Ehe...nothing, nothing...one minute..."
"Yahiko, break open that door," Kaoru commanded.
"Do it!" she screamed. He looked at Megumi for her consent, and she nodded.
It's amazing what a little boy like Yahiko can do. The shoji was in splinters, revealing Sanosuke in a black tuxedo and a tie that was hanging from his ears.
Megumi's eyes traveled to the floor...
Where her purple dress...
Her perfect, purple dress...
Was ripped in half.
"...gomen...?" Sanosuke raised his hand tentatively as an apology.
Megumi snapped. He was going to get hell from her....
Her hand was raised and ready; she was going to slap him... She didn't think about whether it would hurt him; this was Zanza for crying out loud, a mere slap from her wouldn't even faze him. But she had turned, her hand was flying towards his cheek...
She stomped out of the room. Okay, so she hadn't been happy about having to walk down the aisle with Mr. Rooster-Head, but she hadn't planned on getting out of it this way.
And as she turned to face him, realization struck her quite suddenly, like lightning.
I love him.
Days from now, she would think back and wish with all her heart that she hadn't realized that right at that particular moment. What a wonderful story it would make to tell their friends, "Oh, that's when I knew I loved him, right when I turned around and slapped him on the cheek!"
Ah. A wonderful story indeed.
Now that she was out of sight, she couldn't help but wonder, how on earth had she realized that? She loved him? Tch. She scoffed at the idea of love. Being in love with the tori-atama would do nothing, absolutely nothing...
Okay, okay. She needed to get over this. Right now, it was Kenshin and Kaoru's wedding, and it was not the time for her to go into a mid-life crisis. Only God knew the hell they had gone through to get Kenshin to pop the question...and she was not going to go through that hell again.
Anyway, it was only a dress.
Her favorite dress, but still just a dress...
...and a realization that would most probably lead to a mid-life crisis, as said, but hey....
She walked calmly back to the scene. Her shoji was still in splinters, Kaoru's face was bright red, Yahiko looked truly afraid, and Kenshin was "oro-ing" at a hundred miles per hour.
Why was she surrounded by idiots?
It was at that moment that she realized that the biggest idiot of them all was nowhere to be seen. She craned her neck until she finally saw...
Sagara Sanosuke...
....her purple dress..
Oh, no. Her dress had gone through enough hell, thank you very much. She snatched the dress out of his hand.
"Oi, I'm trying to help!" Sanosuke scowled.
Megumi was frozen solid. Her dress had been bad enough before...
...but now...
...it was worse. Worse, worse, worse.
The holes in for her arm were sewn to the hemline; the neckline was nowhere to be seen; in fact, it was nothing more than a crumpled ball of purple fabric.
"You call this helping?!" She held up the dress for proof. Kaoru made a little squeaky sound, Yahiko stifled a laugh, and Kenshin had coughed a little too loudly.
Sanosuke blinked. "I swear, kitsune, it didn't look like that two minutes ago..."
Megumi closed her eyes. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out...
Oh, to hell with it. "You idiot..." She hissed. She wasn't yelling, which made her all the more frightening. "This was my favorite dress...I was going to wear it to the wedding... Now I have nothing to wear..."
Kaoru sensed the tension. "It's okay, Megumi-chan, I've got some clothes you can wear..."
Megumi held up a hand. Like she could fit into any of Kaoru's clothes anyway....She was a good three inches taller than the kenjutsu instructor. "No," she said. "Kaoru, ask Misao-chan to be the bridesmaid."
"No, but--"
"Come on, onna-sensei, it's only a dress...ow, what the--" Kaoru had oh-so-subtly kicked him.
"I know it's only a dress." Megumi's voice was calm and icy. "But I'm tired of this. I'm not going to be in the wedding anymore."
"But Megumi--"
"No. I'm not doing this."
There was silence. Megumi knew full well that it was only a damn dress, and truthfully, she didn't care about the dress anymore. She had had enough of the goddamned tori-atama ruining her dress, her life... and she sure as hell wasn't going to walk down the aisle with him wearing some casual kimono while he wore a tux. No, oh no.
"Are you sure?" Kenshin stepped in, preventing his future wife from blowing up.
"Then there's nothing we can do." Kenshin spoke to Kaoru now, and Megumi was thankful. "Let's just ask Misao-chan to be the bridesmaid, okay? We're late enough as it is."
A slow sigh. "Okay, Kenshin.."
"Well, I'm...going to leave..." Yahiko half-ran out of there. Megumi couldn't blame him.
Sanosuke stared at her. "Oi.."
"What?" she snapped.
"It's only a dress."
Well, now, that was really, really crossing the line, folks. Megumi slowly turned to face him, making eye contact.
"Goddammit, tori-atama, I know it's only a stupid dress!" She was screaming. "I don't care about the damn dress! You've ruined everything!! You've ruined the wedding, you've ruined--my life!"
Because you made me fall in love with you.
Of course, that last bit was unspoken. Sano gaped at her.
"Oh, shut up." She strode out of there with what little dignity she had left.
The place was packed. Filled to the brim. She saw Tsubame-chan, Tae-san, even Sae, her sister...Okina, Omasu, Okon, all of Misao's family... with a shock, she even saw Saitoh and Tokio there... and even others she had never seen before in her life. She glanced at the front. Kenshin was standing there, his face the color of his hair. Kaoru was in the back, blushing, with Gensai-sensei getting ready to walk her to the front. And behind them was Misao, looking nervous... She waited to see if Sano would come running up and grab her wrist and get ready to walk... but he wasn't there.
God, no. He'd better not just leave Misao alone by herself!
To her utter shock, Aoshi joined Misao, unemotional as ever. Misao turned red, but she saw her mouth a question, undeniably, "Where's Sano?"
Which is exactly what she wanted to know.
Aoshi shrugged, mouthing back an answer that she couldn't understand. Talk louder, she wanted to scream, louder!
Stop it. Breathe in, out, in, out...
The music started, and Kaoru began to walk slowly to the front. While others were beginning to bawl, Megumi had to stop herself from laughing.
Because now..only now did she realize how stupid she had been acting.
She heard nothing, but saw everything. How Kaoru smiled so lovingly at Kenshin, the way he looked at her...the way their eyes lit up whenever they saw each other, the way they acted around each other...
The way they needed each other..
The way they loved each other...
She watched as Kaoru made it to the front. Her eyes moved to the back, where Aoshi and Misao were still walking. It was plain to see that Misao was in pure heaven, and here was the big part--Aoshi looked totally at ease, totally comfortable. And she knew that in their own way, they needed and loved each other as well.
So many different couples...that surely....Sano and herself couldn't make too much of an impact...
"Damn," she mumbled to herself.
Okay, so it was finally crystal clear. She was in love with Sano, the idiot.
Right after she turned and slapped him, she looked back.
And realized that she loved him.
Romantic, no?
The vows had been made, the rings had been slipped on their fingers. And then Kenshin and Kaoru moved closer to each other, closer, closer, closer, until their lips met in a kiss...
A kiss filled with need...
A kiss filled with love...
The crowd erupted with cheers.
A wedding reception was what Kaoru had called it. The crowd all went to the Akabeko, happy and cheerful. There was laughter and joy...and all the rest of that crap, while Megumi sat, silently picking at her sushi.
"Megumi? Have you seen Sano?" Misao asked.
She shook her head. "Nope."
"Don't you want to?"
Hell, yes.
"No," she lied. "I'm not in the mood to talk to that idiot right now."
"Ah. Okay." Misao sensed that she needed to be alone at this moment..
Now, she knew she should apologize to him.... She didn't care about the dress anymore. What she was really upset about was that she loved him, loved him when she knew she shouldn't. Goddamn it all. What had she ever done to deserve torture like this?
So now, came the task of apologizing.
Great...really, really, really great...
She went over it in her head. Her finding Sano in this big crowd, looking down bashfully, and finally saying the dreaded words: "I'm sorry." And then he would forgive her, tell her he loved her, kiss, and grow old together.
Don't get her wrong. Takani Megumi was a very rational, practical woman, and on the rare occasions that she was at fault, she could easily swallow her pride and apologize with all her graces.
It was who she was apologizing to that was the problem.
She could just imagine his reaction. God, it would never end. He would never be able to shut up about it. In fact, she wouldn't be too surprised if he stood up in the middle of the town and declared loudly, "The kitsune-sensei has apologized to me! Better yet, she's in love with me!"
Ah, well, maybe not that last part.
Because hell would freeze over at least one hundred times before she ever confessed to him!
Nevertheless, she had to apologize. She was partly at fault for exploding at him like that. But if that damned idiot hadn't stayed so long in her room changing in the first place, none of this would have ever happened... Stupid tori-atama, always getting her into messes like these...
But that wasn't the point right now.
A brief apology, that was what she would do. She would find him, say the two simple words, "I'm sorry," and leave, like nothing had ever happened.
There we go, Megumi thought resolutely to herself. She stood up, brushing off her kimono. She would get this over with even if it killed her.
Stupid Sano was nowhere to be seen. She must have walked through the Akabeko at least ten times, and she still didn't see him. Everybody was too damn loud, that's why, she complained in her head, Especially those idiots over there, drinking their worries away and talking about crap...
Hold on.
She stopped, squinting at the group.
Drinking their worries away?
Talking about crap?
If Sano wasn't there, then she'd stab herself.
Warily, she made her way across the drunk men. Sure enough, in the center, in the spotlight...
Was none other that Sanosuke.
A small, sly smile crossed her face. Perfect, perfect...She could apologize, and he wouldn't even be sober! And his so-called "friends" wouldn't be able to witness it; from the looks on their faces, they were totally and completely wasted. She tapped him on the shoulder. He didn't even look up. Two taps. No reaction. She was about to yank at his red bandana with all her strength when she finally heard a fraction of what he was saying...
"Then, the kitsune-onna turns and slaps me!" He promptly began laughing; all the other men began roaring with hysterical laughter. "Just because I wrecked her stupid dress--"
Megumi froze.
"--and she stomps out on me! Women, can you believe 'em?!"
Megumi was shaking. Ever seen Kaoru lose it?
Ohoho, ever seen Megumi lose it?
Sano stood up at this point, wobbling slightly. His breath reeked of sake.
"Be right back, you guys..." He grinned lopsidedly, slouching.
Megumi was shaking with fury. Silently, she stared after him.
If there were any words to describe Sano's fate, it would be this phrase:
Dead man walking.
Megumi whirled around. Kenshin was behind her.
"Oh...Ken-san?" Even if he was married, that had long been her nickname for him. She couldn't stop calling him that in the period of one day.
"It seems that we have a problem, de gozaru yo."
"No kidding." Megumi almost snapped at him, but caught herself. This was his special day, and she wasn't going to ruin it.
"You have to forgive him..." Kenshin began placatingly. "Please, Megumi-dono. He's...He's drunk."
"And soon to be dead."
"Ah..." It was obvious Kenshin was running out of ideas to keep his best friend alive. "Demo, Megumi-dono, you--uh, you can't kill him."
"And why not?"
"The authorities will be after you, de gozaru yo."
"Oh. Right." Damn. That plan had flown out the window.
"See? You should just let bygones be bygones, Megumi-dono."
Megumi clenched her teeth. This is Ken-san, she reminded herself, He's never done anything to you. You can't kill him. You have no reason behind it. And if you do, Kaoru-chan will never forgive you.
"I won't kill him."
"Good, good..." Kenshin let out a relieved sigh.
"I'll just torture him."
"Deprive him of sake. Never give him ohagi when I make it. Never treat his wounds or hands...He never pays me a single cent, anyway..."
"Now, now..."
She turned to him. "Will you kill him for me, Ken-san?"
His amethyst eyes grew wide. "Oro....sessha must decline, Megumi-dono..."
"Oh, right...your vow not to kill..."
"Even if sessha had not sworn that vow, Sano is sessha's best friend..."
Megumi turned on him. "What do you see in that idiot? He's got absolutely no brains, he's reckless, he's lucky he's been able to even live this long--"
"But Sano is very loyal," Kenshin stated.
"Loyal? Maybe. But a royal pain in the ass."
"Sano has some...problems..." Kenshin amended, "but overall, he's a very good person."
"Who ripped my dress...is talking crap about me to his wasted buddies over there... Maybe I'll just make some opium, one last time and accidentally-on-purpose put it in his sake..."
"What, what?"
"You can't do that, de gozaru ka!"
"Well, what do you suggest I do?! I'm not going to let him get away with this! He's ruined my entire life, Ken-san!"
"Because you fell in love with him?" His voice was quiet.
"I --" Megumi fell silent. Then she turned around and began to walk away.
"Oro! What are you doing?" Now his voice was panicked.
She looked at him with an ice-cold look that Aoshi would have been proud of. "Looking for Saitoh. Maybe he'll kill him for me."
The picture was vivid in her head. Years from now, she would be sitting in a rocking chair in her grandchildren's room, having been roped into telling them a "bedtime story." Three guesses which story she'd be telling.
She could just imagine staring into her grandchildren's wide, innocent eyes and telling them, "The day I fell in love with your ojiichan was the very same day he ripped my favorite dress in half, got drunk and started mouthing off about me to his friends, and when I went insane, and when your Uncle Kenshin and Auntie Kaoru got married. It was a very lovely day, children."
Oh, poor kids. They'd be scarred for life.
Regrettably, Saitoh had been nowhere to be found. Typical, really. Whoever had expected Hajime Saitoh to last long at a party was pretty stupid.
Just apologize, she told herself. And then walk off, and forget about it.
"Where is he?!" she mumbled under her breath. She'd gone back to the group of drunken idiots, and he hadn't been there. She'd gone to every single table at the Akabeko, and he still wasn't there!
Which wasn't helping her mood much.
"When I want to find him, he's nowhere. When I don't want to find him, he's everywhere. Goddamn idiot..."
"Kitsuneee.." Megumi turned around to see, yup, you guessed it, a drunk Sano.
She sighed. Today was not her day..
"What is it?" she shifted slightly.
"Jou-chan told me to come say sorry."
Megumi's eyes narrowed into tiny, tiny slits. From behind the wall, she swore she heard a muffled groan, and what suspiciously sounded like, "He wasn't supposed to say that!"
Yet, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Well, okay." She placed her hands on her hips. "Go on."
A loud hiccup sounded out of his mouth. "What...you're just gonna stand there and wait for me to say it?"
Her hands tightened around her hips. She ignored the pain.
"Yeah. Go on."
Another hiccup. "But it wasn't even my fault!"
Uh-huh. A drunk Sano apologizing wasn't much better than a sober Sano apologizing.
"What was that?" Her voice was falsely sweet.
"It wasn't my fault!" He looked at her, indignant.
He was really asking for it.
And behind that wall, it sounded like someone was crying. "No...he's ruining everything!"
"It wasn't your fault?!" Megumi's voice was growing louder with every syllable. "You were the one who ripped my dress in the first place! You were the one who ruined my life! You're the one who's screwing up this whole apology, anyhow! IDIOT!"
Stop it, Megumi. Stop, and count to ten.
Like that shit ever worked. It certainly wasn't working out now...
Now, if Sano had kept quiet, maybe Megumi wouldn't have blown up quite as much.
But, come on.
Has Sagara Sanosuke ever known when to shut up?
Sadly, no.
"Me?" His voice was off; his eyes were glazed. Even when he was wasted, he was still Sanosuke, no matter what. "YOU'RE the one who's -- who's got PMS!"
Megumi froze.
Literally, froze.
And everything he'd ever done to her came flashing through her mind...Like...when before you die, your life flashes before your eyes. In this case, before she was going to murder him, her life with him flashed before her eyes...
Which just gave her more motivation.
Her hand was raised. He was looking at her smugly.
Her hand was flying. He was still looking at her smugly.
Her hand made contact. He was still looking at her smugly.
And it was the oddest thing, but only one thought existed in her mind:
Damn. I still love him.
As she stomped off, mood growing darker by the minute, another thought floated into her head:
How did he even know about PMS?
Oh, if only she had Kenshin's sword skills. She would have sliced him in half in the blink of an eye.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid..."
"Megumi-chan, you know that Sano didn't mean any of that!" Kaoru caught up with her, tugging at her purple kimono's sleeve. "Come on, come on..."
Megumi let out a slow sigh. God, why couldn't they leave her alone?!
"He's an idiot."
"I know..."
"I hate him."
"I know..."
Her hands were clenched into a fist; her knuckles were white.
"He's an idiot."
"I know."
"I hate him."
"I know, Megumi-chan, you've told me that already."
"But he's ruined everything!" Megumi sighed. "
"You love him."
"He's an idiot." Megumi subtly ignored her friend's last statement.
Three times now. Not once. Not twice.
Three damn times.
She pulled on her hair. "You know how many times he's managed to piss me off today?"
"Usually, it's only once..." Kaoru trailed off in a cheery voice.
"Three times, Kaoru-chan. Three times. First, he ripped my dress. Then he started talking about me to his friends. Drunk friends. Then, that whole bit about me having PMS. Do you know what I'd like to do to him?!"
"Kill him. I asked Ken-san to do it, but he refused. Then I went off looking for Saitoh, but I couldn't find him."
Kaoru snorted. "You expect 'The Wolf of Mibu' to stay at a party for more than ten minutes?"
"I know, I know, it was a ridiculous idea. I'd like to make opium, one last time..it's a just cause, don't you think?"
Megumi rolled her eyes. "Ken-san had the same reaction."
"Have you ever wondered what your life would be like without Sanosuke?"
"Yeah. It'd be perfect."
"You'd still be working for Kanryuu."
Megumi paused. "Ken-san would've saved me."
"Oh? Megumi-chan, you would be dead by now."
"Don't you remember? Sanosuke was the first one who got to you, not Kenshin. By the time Kenshin, Yahiko, and I got there, he'd saved you already."
Ah, shit. She truly hated to admit it, but Kaoru was right. The tori-atama had been the first to get to her...he had been the one who'd stopped the dagger's path...
"I never thought of it that way." Megumi stopped walking.
"You owe your life to him." There went that goddamned hinting smile on Kaoru's face again.
"Pssh. I never asked to be saved."
"Oh, you two are so stubborn!" Kaoru grabbed Megumi's arm and began to drag her back to where Sanosuke was.
"Kaoru-chan! Let go!"
"You two have got to get over your differences! I know you two hate each other's guts, but underneath that, it's obvious you two are crazy for each other!"
"That tori-atama only cares about himself!" Megumi cried crossly.
"That's what you think!"
"And how would you know?"
"Trust me!"
"The last time I heard those words, I found myself eating burnt rice!"
"Oh, that's not nice, Megumi-chan."
"Gomen ne." She tried to yank back, but it was too late. Kenshin was dragging Sanosuke over to the two of them.
Oh, damn it all. This was probably the worst day in her entire life.
Let's recap.
Number one, her dress was still ripped.
Number two, she'd finally realized that she was in love with the tori-atama. In other words, mid-life crisis.
Number three, she needed to apologize to him.
Number four, he was drunk.
Number five, he had publicly embarrassed her by shouting "You've got PMS!" in front of everybody in the Akabeko.
Number six, she was being dragged to him.
Damn, damn, damn.
"Don't mess this up again, Megumi-chan, please," Kaoru begged her.
"Me? I never mess it up! He's the one who always starts it--" She covered her mouth. Great. Now she was acting like a three-year-old.
"For me...it's my wedding day!"
"Ahh.." Megumi exhaled slowly. "I'll--I'll try."
But then again, things are always easier said than done.
Apologizing to a drunk Sano.
What had she gotten herself into now?
Well, at least he was drunk and he probably wouldn't remember any of this afterwards.
She sighed, long and hard. "I'm sorry."
There, she'd said it.
"What are you apologizing for? I'm the one who should be sorry."
Megumi's head jerked up. Maybe a drunk tori-atama wasn't so bad after all...
"...che, but it's nice to hear it come from your mouth, kitsune."
Now she couldn't decide. Was he drunk or not?
"Anyway, sorry." He scratched his head, and that familiar Sanosuke grin spread through his lips. "For wrecking your dress. And the other crap I did."
Megumi, as blunt as ever, said, "Are you drunk?"
"Not anymore. What, you want me to go drink some more?"
Truthfully, she didn't know what she wanted anymore.
" 'Cause I can..."
"No, stay sober for once, will you?" There went her sharp tongue again... "Why weren't you at the wedding?"
"I was there."
Megumi rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean."
"What, you wanted me to walk down the aisle with weasel girl?"
A muffled shriek from behind that very same wall...
Megumi raised an eyebrow, but chose to ignore it. "Better than walking down the aisle with a kitsune," she stated.
"Nah, not really. Besides..." He yawned, trying to look nonchalant at this point, "if I had to walk down the aisle with someone, I might as well walk down the aisle with you."
Her eyes were on him. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Che, you're the doctor, you're supposed to be smart, you figure it out."
What. An. Idiot.
"Idiot," she remarked, rolling her eyes once more.
He was really, really lucky that she loved him because that had probably been the only thing saving his life at that point. Anyway, everything was done and over with now, wasn't it? She'd apologized. He'd apologized. A happy ending usually follows after this, doesn't it?
"So, rumor is, you're in love with me." A cocky, self-centered grin.
It didn't look like that happy ending was going to happen.
Megumi looked down and found her middle finger twitching.
"Rumor is, you're an idiot."
"No, that's not a rumor...that's a fact."
He smiled at her then. That Sagara Sanosuke smile..
Okay, fine. I do love him.
And so she admits it.
But admitting it to herself and telling him are two very, very different things.
"Did you ever see how I fixed your dress?"
Megumi stopped. "What?"
"I tried to sew it up again."
Megumi was trembling. "...what?"
"I've got it over here..." He dug through his jacket. "Here."
"You fit my dress into your jacket?!"
"Easy. I just folded it and sorta crumpled it up..."
I think I'll show my love...
"Let me see it."
He unfolded it.
Megumi wanted to cry.
And then kill him.
...in a different kind of way.
"Tori-atama...I'll kill you," she hissed.
"What now? I fixed it, didn't I? Look, that's where your neck goes, and that's where your arms go, and that's the skirt part, and it looks pretty damn good!"
Her hand was raised again...
"Owwww!" Sano rubbed his red cheek. "That's the third time!"
"And the fourth one's coming," threatened Megumi. Sano took off, and she chased right after him.
Slowly, the audience crawled out from behind the wall.
"I can't believe it," Kaoru said, stunned. "That's all?"
Kenshin tried to comfort her. "It's all right. They just-- They just need time."
"I wouldn't be surprised if ten years passed and they're still the way they are..." muttered Misao.
Aoshi rolled his eyes. "What did you expect? A kiss?"
~ Owari ~ The End ~
A/N~ Aaah, I enjoyed writing that!! ^_^ Well, reviews are a writer's best friend. So keep 'em coming! ^___^
*Yeah, I'm fully aware that in the anime, Kaoru and Megumi address each other with the "-san" suffix, indicating politeness and that they really don't know each other too well...in this fic, though, I wanted to make them seem more like friends...like, more comfortable with each other, so I changed it to "-chan"...

In one of the most provocative books ever published on America's social welfare system, economist Janet Currie argues that the modern social safety net is under attack.
Unlike most books about antipoverty programs, Currie trains her focus not on cash welfare, which accounts for a small and shrinking share of federal expenditures on poor families with children, but on the staples of today's American welfare system: Medicaid, Food Stamps, Head Start, WIC, and public housing. These programs, Currie maintains, form an effective, if largely invisible and haphazard safety net, and yet they are the very programs most vulnerable to political attack and misunderstanding.
This book highlights both the importance and the fragility of this safety net, arguing that, while not perfect, it is essential to fighting poverty. Currie demonstrates how America's safety net is threatened by growing budget deficits and by an erroneous public belief that antipoverty programs for children do not work and are riddled with fraud.
By unearthing new empirical data, Currie makes the case that social programs for families with children are actually remarkably effective. She takes her argument one step further by offering specific reforms--detailed in each chapter--for improving these programs even more. The book concludes with an overview of an integrated safety net that would fight poverty more effectively and prevent children from slipping through holes in the net. (For example, Currie recommends the implementation of a benefit "debit card" that would provide benefits with less administrative burden on the recipient.)
A complement to books such as Barbara Ehrenreich's bestselling Nickel and Dimed, which document the personal struggles of the working poor, The Invisible Safety Net provides a big-picture look at the kind of programs and solutions that would help ease those struggles. Comprehensive and authoritative, it will prompt a major reexamination of the current thinking on improving the lives of needy Americans.

A daily glance inside the numbers from the world of sports:
• Kenny Rogers improved his career record at McAfee Coliseum to 25-4 in the Tigers' 10-4 victory over the A's on Wednesday. Rogers' .862 winning percentage at the stadium once known as Oakland Coliseum is the third highest in major league history by any pitcher at a stadium at which he has won at least 25 games. The higher marks were recorded by Bob Caruthers at Washington Park (36-4, .900) and Smokey Joe Wood at Fenway Park (39-6, .867).
• Mike Mussina raised his record to 10-3 in the Yankees' 11-3 win over the Indians. With that victory, Mussina became the first pitcher in American League history to win 10 or more games in each of 15 consecutive seasons. The previous record of 14 straight seasons was shared by Eddie Plank (1901-1914), Hooks Dauss (1913-1926), and Jim Kaat (1962-1975).
Mussina also tied the AL record for most seasons with 10 wins by the All-Star break. This was Mussina's eighth, equaling Jim Palmer's mark. One big difference: Palmer posted a total of eight 20-win seasons; Mussina has never won more than 19 games in a season.
• The Yankees posted an eight-run fourth inning in the Wednesday win, one night after the Indians scored nine times in the fifth inning of a 19-1 victory over the Yankees. It marked the third time in Yankees history that the team got scorched for at least eight runs in an inning but posted an inning of eight or more runs in the following game, against the same opponent.
• Carl Crawford stole second base, third base, and home (not all in the same inning) in the Devil Rays' 5-2 win over the Red Sox. The last player to steal second, third, and home in the same game was Tom Goodwin of the Rockies in 2000. The last AL player was Gerald Williams of the Yankees in 1996.
• Chuck James recorded his third win in three major-league starts in the Braves' 14-4 victory over the Cardinals. Only five other pitchers in Braves history won each of their first three MLB starts, and of those five, only Rick Behenna did it during the live-ball era (1983). Among the others was Hall of Famer Vic Willis (1898).
• Bartolo Colon pitched a four-hit shutout over the Mariners for his first win of the season. The hard-luck loser was Jamie Moyer, who has been the starting pitcher in five of the MLB-leading 10 games in which Seattle has failed to score this season. The last pitcher to start five games by the All-Star break in which he team didn't score was Fernando Valenzuela, for the Padres and Cardinals in 1997.
• Yusmeiro Petit owes his Marlins teammates big-time after earning a victory despite allowing four runs in the first inning of his first major-league start. The Marlins defeated the Nationals 18-9. Only one other pitcher in the last 75 years won his first MLB start after yielding four or more runs in the first inning, and that was in 1961 (Howie Koplitz of the Tigers).
• Last season, Jeremy Affeldt threw 943 pitches and didn't win a single game. Wednesday night, Affeldt threw one pitch and earned his fourth victory of the season in the Royals' 6-3 win over the Twins.
• Derrick Turnbow recorded four outs in the Brewers' 6-5 win over the Reds. It was the first time Turnbow pitched more than one inning since May 22, 2005 -- a span of 86 appearances which is the longest in Brewers' history. It was the third-longest current streak in the majors, behind Eddie Guardado (97) and Trevor Hoffman (93).
• The Mets recorded all their runs and all four of their hits in the first inning of a 5-0 victory over the Pirates. Over the last 40 years, only one other team scored as many as five runs in a game in which it didn't get a hit after the first inning: the A's in an 8-4 win over the Blue Jays in 1994.
Only one major-league team in the past 10 years had even won a game in which it didn't get a hit after the first inning. The Braves beat the Marlins 3-1 in 2002, getting all four of their hits in the first inning.
• France defeated Portugal 1-0 on a first-half penalty kick by Zinedine Zidane. It was the first 1-0 semifinal match in World Cup history to be decided by a penalty-kick goal. There was one such final: Germany over Argentina in 1990 on a goal by Andreas Brehme in the 85th minute.
• Zidane's penalty kick was the 16th awarded in this competition, but the first since the round of 16, when David Villa of Spain scored against France.
• Fabien Barthez recorded his 10th World Cup victory. Only three other goalkeepers reached double-figures: Taffarel, 12; Gilmar and Sepp Maier, 11. Barthez also equaled Peter Shilton's record of 10 World Cup shutouts.
• Among the strangest statistics of the 2006 World Cup: Including its 1-0 loss to France, semifinalist Portugal has gone 277 minutes without scoring a goal, the longest scoreless span by any team in this tournament. Portugal hasn't scored since the 23rd minute of its round-of-16 victory over the Netherlands. Maniche scored that goal.
