In response to a recent article on why Ronaldo's signature should be avoided, Kevin Levingston extols the virtues of bringing our former hero home.
In an extremely well-reasoned article, fellow CanTheyScore contributor James has recently argued that the negatives of re-signing a certain Mr Ronaldo would outweigh the positives. Whilst I agree that this is a move which could have some negative repercussions; on a basic level I believe it is an opportunity too valuable to pass up. Put simply; Manchester United must sign Cristiano Ronaldo if he's available. Below I will directly address some of the points James has made as well as share my own thoughts on the situation.
First things first, one of the most prevalent sentiments being shared across social media and in United circles is a concern about Ronaldo's age. The former Red turns thirty in February and many would have you think that this would indicate his immediate decline and de facto end of his career. Logic would dictate that this is far from true. One does not go from arguably the best player in world football to "past it" overnight. For the past ten years Ronaldo has been a supreme athlete and there is little to suggest that this dedication to personal conditioning would relax once he turns thirty. If anything, the Portuguese forward owes his ascent to the top of the game to his complete dedication to self-improvement. If there were ever a player capable of standing the test of time (or adapting his game) in the vein of Giggs, Totti or Maldini it's Cristiano Ronaldo There are understandable fears over the condition of his knee(s) but if there were any issues there they would be picked up in the standard pre-transfer medical checks. In terms of overall quality a thirty year old Ronaldo will still be among the top players in the world, let alone at Old Trafford.
One of the main discussion points has also been his character. Few can deny that Ronaldo comes with quite the opinion of himself which can often manifest on the pitch with displays of petulance or frustration at decisions made by his team-mates. I completely take James' point on this and accept that it's part of the forward's game that sometimes leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Equally so; his "look at me" goal celebration in last year's Champions League final upon scoring the far from decisive fourth goal. I make no attempt to justify or explain this type of behaviour but would point out three things. Firstly; very few players climb to the top of world football without a certain degree of arrogance – a belief that they are the best. The petulance and impatience with team-mates is an unfortunate symptom of this belief. Secondly, Ronaldo spent six years at United and his behaviour very seldom resulted in any detriment to the team or club. Thirdly; Real Madrid is rife with a culture that encourages a larger-than-life God-like perception of the individual. It's understandable that Ronaldo (who had narcissistic tendencies anyway) would embrace this entirely as the main star at the most successful club in the world. Five years later, having achieved everything possible in Madrid, it seems he is ready to move on. Were he merely seeking another pay-day he could surely find greener pastures than Old Trafford. This smacks more of a desire to return home to a club that holds a deep emotional connection for him, and one would expect that the "superstar" behaviour so central to his time at Madrid would be turned down a notch too.
Undoubtedly financing a move for Ronaldo would result in a significant outlay, potentially in the region of the £59million spent for Angel Di Maria this summer. His wages will no doubt make the eyes water too. In short, I don't see this being a concern. It's not our money at play here and the club has the financial muscle to secure Ronaldo along with the central defender and central midfielder we need. Of course the club must set a limit of what they can conceivably pay for a player with limited resale value but any price paid is sure to pale in comparison to the money our beloved owners have already taken from the club. As long as the money is being paid in then so be it!
In terms of his arrival hindering the progression of Adnan Januzaj, one need only take a look at the state of our squad and the lack of strength in depth to see that this won't be an issue. As it stands, we have just two players (Januzaj and Di Maria) that can actually play well as a winger and if we make the return to Europe as expected there will be far more games to play next season. Sheer amount of games and lack of competition on the flanks will see Januzaj get more than his fair share of games. If his ambition is to play through the middle then it is Mata, not Ronaldo that will prove the biggest obstacle in the prodigious attacker's path to first team football. If anything, the presence of our returning hero will benefit Januzaj. A chance to learn from a player who has won it all and reached the very pinnacle of the game. A player who has made the journey from skilful yet inconsistent winger to world beater and surpassing all expectations. Ronaldo's arrival would benefit all parties involved.
If United secured Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford it would be a spectacular coup for the club. We would be securing a player with many miles left in the tank who can still perform a level above most players in the league. It would represent a serious statement of intent from United to return to the top of European football, let alone the domestic game. We would be securing a player who knows the club inside and out and has a genuine love for the shirt, a player who would demand the best from his peers and brings a wealth of experience at the highest level. He would be a role model for our younger players regarding the importance of training, practice and a dedication to preparation. He would immediately improve our first team and would most likely be the difference in whether we win the title next year or not. The benefits for the club are many. For the player himself, it's a chance to return to a family club where he still has many friends, where he could be happy again and play in front of fans who adore him. A chance to play a key role in restoring the Reds to their rightful place. A chance to add to his already sterling record and be remembered not only as an icon but as a true legend.
A chance to come home.
If a return to Old Trafford is truly on the cards for Ronaldo, the club would be misguided to the point of negligent if they didn't make a serious effort to bring him back. In these situations it's natural for us fans to protect ourselves, dismissing the possibility and attempting to justify why we "don't need him" anymore. We've been burned before, after all. Nevertheless, I implore you to take a look back at our games between 2006 and 2009 and compare them to anything we've seen since. For that free-kick against Portsmouth. For the outrageous strike against Porto. For the decimation of Arsenal in the Champions League. For everything he did as the figurehead of the team in the most successful period in our history. It's time to put aside the few negatives involved for the sake of everything he has done and could do for our club.
Far from "weighing up" a move; Ed Woodward should be chaining himself to the desk of Florentino Perez and refusing to leave without our boy.
Viva Ronaldo.

To follow Manchester United is to accept a level of scrutiny from the media bordering on bizarre. The picture painted by the national press (and often by our own fans) is very much an exercise in extremes. This summer, the declaration of choice has been that United are "losing their identity". Please let us ignore the fact that United have broken the British transfer record on a consistent basis over the past 25 years. Please let us ignore even more determinedly that just 6 weeks ago the very same outlets were castigating the Reds for their lack of investment.
Must. Not. Question. The. Narrative.
The machinations of this particular trend have already been discussed and dismissed by others, so let's not dwell on it. We shall have plenty of time in future to discuss it further as Messrs Van Gaal and Woodward plough on with the rebuilding project. Expect more feather-spitting. Here are 5 reasons Manchester United will keep spending in January, the summer and beyond! Read more…
Transfer deadline day was a flurry of excitement for many. The previously dormant Woodward had found his mojo and in Falcao pulled off the kind of unexpected transfer that was once the hallmark of Ferguson. Over the last nine months we have added proven quality and potential in equal measure. Skeptics point to the failure to recruit a world class central midfielder and central defender yet such players are a rare breed and noticeably thin on the ground. Odious Glazer stooge though he is; it is difficult to argue that the much maligned vice-Chairman has failed in 2014. Crossing the palm of leeches like Jorge Mendes with silver might not be to everyone's taste but the outcome is undeniably appealing. Recruiting World and European champions to England's seventh best team is worthy of acclaim.
In spite of all this I felt anything but buoyant as the players headed off for their international breaks. I have a natural inclination to focus on the negative – and the departure of Welbeck definitely warrants that description. On a football level it could potentially turn out to be strengthening a rival for a low fee. On an emotional level it is a sense that one of our own has been allowed to fly the nest. The sadness that emanated from the summer sales was based on a feeling that the club had failed. Failed to achieve the final phase of turning now first team academy products into key players in a successful team. Failed to harness and direct mercurial talent to consistently benefit the team. In the cases of Welbeck, Kagawa, Nani and Cleverley there will always be a sense of what might have been. Talent was not in question but through a combination of factors none of these players fulfilled their potential at the club.
Much has been written about each and I am in no way absolving the players themselves of responsibility. Social-media has a habit of building up players into cult figures far too quickly and inflated assessments of their quality come to dominate the discourse. This proves self-defeating as the players can never live up to the expectations leading to the equally misguided response that these feted players are in fact 'not fit to wear the shirt.' We all have our own bias – I have often spoken or written of my preference for homegrown players and satisfaction in the triumph of youth. In Welbeck's case opportunities were limited for a player adamant that a central striking berth was required to advance his career. Two successive managers have now deemed the forward unfit for the purpose of leading the line for United. I suspect that even as ardent an admirer as Ferguson would have looked for a more proven alternative to replace the departing Rooney. A player has no more right to start for Manchester United because of where he was born than due to the size of his wage packet. The harsh yet entirely correct message sent out by Woodward and Van Gaal this summer is that no player in a squad finishing seventh is indispensable.
A pressing concern at the arrival of bona fide superstars is the impact on others in the squad. Much scrutiny has been placed on the ramifications for Juan Mata but of more concern for me is the extent to which it limits the opportunities for Januzaj, Wilson, Blackett and Lingard. A long season of a single weekly game offers little opportunity or need to return to the Fergie tombola. Yet fears for stunted development can be assuaged by the benefit of these players training on a daily business with a higher calibre of players instructed by some of Europe's finest coaches. For all the thrill of Januzaj's emergence last season he undoubtedly played too much, too soon and was regularly handed the responsibility of reviving a team devoid of ideas. Less football for players under twenty-two – who have been tied to academies since early teens – could be of long-term benefit in an era where burnout is a growing concern. If they develop as hoped at least two of the four can look forward to graduating to a starting place before van Gaal's three-year tenure ends.
Eighteen days on and mourning what might have been has evolved into relishing what might be ahead. A previous manager once spoke of 'aspiring' to be like a team from Stockport. The arrival of world class talent means our young prospects need only look around them to find the level to which they must strive. The best way to join the best is to learn from them. That's the United way.
This time last year Manchester United were ushering in a new era with a new manager and a grand total of one new signing in the summer transfer window. One year on and there is another new manager and another new era. This time however, the club have brought in no fewer than six new faces. When the players line-up against Queen's Park Rangers on Sunday fans will be hoping to get a glimpse of a new look United – Louis van Gaal's United – for the first time. Read more…
With the signing of Marcos Rojo, Manchester United take their summer spending to a record £72 million. Not bad for a club being lambasted daily in the press and on social media for a lack of purpose in the transfer market. However, money doesn't tell the whole story, nor does the calibre of player brought in. Along with Rojo, United finally secured the signatures of Ander Herrera – after a year-long chase – and Luke Shaw, fighting off interest from Chelsea. All three young players will be eager to cement their places in Louis van Gaal's side this term. Read more…
Finally he has arrived!
After what seems like an age since his appointment, Louis van Gaal has officially been unveiled. The gap between confirmation of his employment and his first day on the job was a concern. The idea of Woody being left to his own devices, eyeing 'marquee signings' like a horny teen in Magaluf, was not a happy one. Yet despite those fears the transition between election and inauguration has actually proved to be positive. The aquisitions have been sensible and the new man's reputation has been further enhanced thanks to the strong performance of the Netherlands under his stewardship in Brazil. Moyes appointment was recognised as a gamble; no such eyebrows are being raised this time around.
The press conference was reassuringly predictable. The fluff of glitzy presentation and wheeling out of Sir Bobby was cliched yet effective. The man himself was the expected embodiment of confidence. van Gaal has presence. He dominated the room in a manner few are capable. The cutting response to TClevz' (alleged) BFF from the Mirror served notice that it was the journalists who were on trial in the court of King Louis. The Moyes comparisons are hard to avoid and deeply unflattering to the Scotsman. Charisma is a quality that comes naturally to a lucky few and unfortunately for Davey he was not amongst their number. If Moyes' media engagements became a game of waiting for the blunder, those present hung on his successors every word for very different reasons.
Much has been made out of the fairly anodyne comments already. Speculation over whether the references to sponsors were a veiled protest at the commercial conquests of his employers are fanciful at best. Similarly, pledges that time will be taken to assess his squad are hardly groundbreaking and will be conveniently ignored by the legion of rumour mongers who would have us believe that Arturo Vidal has all but picked out his shirt number.
The tone was an amenable mix of confidence for what lies ahead and deference to the significance of the football club. I am in no doubt that over the next few months van Gaal's public pronouncements will have us both crowing our approval and trying to hide our embarrassment. Remind you of anyone?
After recently moving from Chelsea to Manchester United during the January transfer window, new fan favourite Juan Mata decided to open up to Canal+ in Spain and talk about his relationship with David Moyes, how De Gea harassed him constantly about making the move and much more. Below is a (near) full transcript of the interview.
On Manchester United's interest:
I knew there was an interest, although I didn't realise it was true until the two clubs started talking to each other. Chelsea told me there was an offer, an important offer. In the end, I did it due to the situation I was in over the past few months, and the opportunity to be at Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world. When you're looking from the outside, you think it is, but it's only when you are a part of it that you realise that it really is one of the biggest clubs in the world. Here I am, very happy in this new city, in this new step in my career, and I hope that everything will go well.
On whether he feels any pressure:
No, no. Simply no. Because when I'm on the pitch, all I think about is playing, enjoying myself and feeling comfortable, like I always have. At the end of the day, the price of transfers during the window is something for clubs to sort out and as players, we have nothing to do with it. What we have to do is turn up, train, enjoy the training and enjoy the football. In the end, everything happened so quickly. I know that I have responsibilities, but this doesn't stop me from enjoying it and producing on the pitch.
On the club's objectives:
The objective is to get to the Champions League spots. It's difficult because Liverpool are doing well, so are Arsenal, as well as Tottenham and Everton, who are all clubs also fighting for them, but I think we have a team who can do it. This is Manchester United. When this club wins two, three or four matches in a row, it has a very important mental strength, a winner's mentality. We are coming and I think we can do it, but we have to win a lot of games first.
On his first time out at Old Trafford as a Manchester United player:
It was really emotional. It was incredible. I'd already played there as the away team, but playing there as the home team, just imagine. The stadium is huge, the fans are very dedicated to singing and it was all good, because we won, I found myself on the pitch surrounded by top quality players and from the off, the first training session, they have helped me integrate as best possible. Physically, I hadn't trained a lot the previous week, but I feel good.
On his new teammates:
I've known David (De Gea) since we played for the national team at youth level. The week before I arrived, he was hassling me and when I arrived I stayed with him. Everyone has received me well, but he has been the one who has gone out of his way the most.
I didn't know Giggs, but I had and still have a lot of admiration and respect for him. He's been really good. He has helped me from the very beginning, made sure everything went perfectly. It's a pleasure that he's here and it's a pleasure for me to play alongside a player like him. To reach 40 and still be playing at this level is fantastic.
Van Persie, Rooney, Chicharito, Welbeck. These are all players who always score goals. Playing with them is a pleasure. I got an assist for Van Persie and what's great about playing with them is that if you pass them the ball, it's a goal. It's a goal pretty much every time.
On David Moyes & the club:
More than anything, he made me feel important and I think that's fundamental when you arrive at such a big club that has made a huge investment in you. It's nice when the manager tells you "Juan, you're important to the team and we need you on the ball as much as possible" and that's what I try to do. My relationship with him is good, friendly and from the off, he seemed to me to be a great person.
This is a club that should always be fighting for the Premier League. I think, in the last 20 or 21 years, they've won 13 times. The mentality of this club is to win and fight for all the trophies. Unfortunately this year, things haven't gone so well in the league, but I believe there is still time this season. With the mentality and the staff that we have, I believe we can climb up the table and win as many games as possible.
There are good people here. First and foremost young people. When you play for Manchester United it's difficult because you have a lot of responsibillity. I don't know what will happen in the summer but the manager said the other day at a press conference that he's going to be signing players. I think this club is at a stage of change, a bit of change in the project, but as I'll tell you, at this club the best players in the world will always arrive.
On Sir Alex Ferguson and the future:
All he has done here, everything Ferguson has complished is pretty much unattainable. He has won everything possible to win with this club in the last 20-25 years and it's tough to maintain such a level of excellence. But at the end of the day, it was these players that won the league last season. And the new manager has arrived knowing what this club is. I think he has a great relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson and with time everything will get better, the results will get better and we'll get back to being where this club deserves to be.
On Mourinho and Chelsea:
We spoke and he [Mourinho] said that he thought this was a good option for me, and I told him I thought this was a good option for me. We didn't speak for long. I wasn't playing, and to be honest, I am happy when I play football. It's the thing I like to do the most. He wished me good luck and told me to be good, as did everyone at the club [Chelsea]. I'm very grateful for my time at Chelsea and for all the trophies I have won. We had a fantastic relationship, I had great relationships with several of my teammates. They weren't just my teammates, but my friends. Fernando [Torres] for example. I was very saddend to tell him I was leaving him. It was tough to tell him I was going because he is a very important person to me, but we'll keep in touch we aren't that far away from each other.
On Manchester:
I've already had a tour around the city! The other day I was having dinner with David Silva and he recommended a couple of places to me. I think there are several beautiful places in this city and now I get to discover another city in England.
Now I'd like to present you to my friend, the one that has welcomed me here. He does everything with me, he's part of my security team, he takes me to get to know the training ground, he shows me the city, I present to you; David de Gea.
De Gea walks in and sits next to Mata
Mata: Tell them about all the messages you have been sending me!
(both laugh)
De Gea: Yeah, I'm sure you had to get a phone and everything was a bit crazy. But it's good that you are here and we have gotten you here.
He's a great player that will help the team a lot and knowing him as a person, he will also help in the dressing room and help the whole team grow.
Mata: We are going to be neighbours too, so that's good!
De Gea: Yeah, I brought him to the nice part of the city
(both laugh again)
Mata: He's a realtor too!
(Journalist asks if there are any other Spanish players living nearby)
Mata and De Gea both mention that they think Navas and Negredo live close.
De Gea: I think he has come in and played very well. I'm very happy that he is here and I hope he keeps growing as a player and that he continues to improve the club.
Mata: OK, that's it.. I will pay you that dinner that I promised you!

Every Christmas I take great pleasure at laughing at others. Not exactly in the spirit of Christmas I accept but with good reason. The regional news runs the same Boxing Day feature on the fools who have left the warm bosom of the family home at the crack of dawn to queue outside High Street shops in the hope of getting first option on whatever unsellable tat they have slashed the price of to free up warehouse space. Clothes, phones and tablets are bought destined to be used once and subsequently discarded as 'I didn't really want/need it but it was in the sale.' Some people crave the rush of consuming, the sensation of relief that they have acquired something they previously lacked – never mind whether an actual need exists. Which brings me to football…
In previous years the January transfer window has largely been an irrelevance to United. Signings have been part of a longer term plan rather than the 'save our season' purchase we associate with fiscally irresponsible sides fighting relegation. This season however the mood is very different. Collective wisdom suggests Moyes and Woodward must act next month if Manchester United are to achieve the bare minimum of a successful season. It just might be however that the brave and unpopular approach might just be the right approach; namely, restricting spending to all but the most minor of additions.
I have held this view for less than 48 hours – and it could be subject to change. Before Tuesday evening I was of the opinion that bringing in quality – whatever the cost – was necessary. Buy out clauses should be triggered and our midfield renovated. Then I spent two hours hosting our Transfer Special podcast and reality bit; as we worked out way through the eighteen (!) central midfielders that have been linked with Manchester United it became clear that the likelihood of attaining the right players in January is far trickier than merely opening the cheque book.
A succession of issues stand in the way of bringing in the quality of player we require to boost the team; reservations about changing club mid-season, unwillingness to move before a World Cup, prohibitive release clauses, and questionable evidence that they can adapt quickly to a new culture came up time and time again. The intense scrutiny facing new recruits in January will be even greater than that ordinarily placed upon a Manchester United signing. In the summer we brought in a proven international footballer, who has already performed impressively in our league and whom many Reds had coveted for a number of years.
All circumstances that would surely lead to a smooth transition and instant impact, yet Fellaini has struggled. The man who has managed him for many years admitted that the expectations of playing for a club like Manchester United have proved harder to deal with than anticipated. What chance then a winger who has never played outside Brazil, a young Spanish midfielder or a once great Dutchman who has failed to find consistency for three years. Exceptions do exist. If a player of the calibre of Ilkay Gundogan became available then United should be asking how much and handing over the monies. Such players though are thin on the ground and for reasons already stated highly unlikely to either be available or keen to move at this time.
The scenario that must be avoided is panic buying leading to the acquisition of players on account of availability rather than suitability. Paying over the odds, eating into the summer transfer fund, would be a desperate response more in common with a Wonga loan than a measured investment in a successful business. There is a reason we have kept our January spending to a minimum in the past and it should not be forgotten amidst the clamour for change. The temptation must be enormous for Moyes to appease disgruntled fans across the world yet he must tread with caution. Ed Woodward took the fall for the debacle in the summer with Moyes largely escaping criticism. Yet the one addition has failed to have any real impact on the quality of the side and the manager and coaching staff must take some of the blame for this. If this is followed by further underperforming purchases then the manager will have some explained to do to his parsimonious bosses.
So Woodward should give himself a well deserved month off and do another disappearing act to warmer climes? Not a bit of it. There is transfer business to be done in the new year – making contact with clubs and representatives of those players already identified as being of the required quality and setting up moves for the summer. At the same time, inviting interest for those players marked for departure and negotiating terms acceptable to the club.
This season has always been about managing transition and if the new boss can't achieve a top four finish with a squad who walked the league twelve months earlier then serious questions would have to be asked about his job performance. It might not set pulses racing but eschewing short term temptation and playing the long game might ultimately turn out to be the wisest move our beleaguered boss could make.
Every team needs that sort of player that make the opposition quake in their boots. The type of player that will force his opponent to commit, gamble and eventually crumble. The type of player that, when the other team's manager reads out the opposing eleven, you hear a unified sigh throughout the dressing room: you know it's going to be a long afternoon as soon as you spot his name on the team sheet.
It doesn't really come down to technical ability or passing range, it comes down to your willingness to combat your opposition to the ground. Roy Keane, even though underrated, was never the most technical player. However, when teams saw his name on the team sheet, they knew what was coming. That alone won games. The fear and the anticipation, knowing that across the pitch stands a man who doesn't think twice before sacrificing his body for his team. Manchester United have lacked that. A man that can dominate a game just by being who he is. That man can be Marouane Fellaini.
If there's something fans have complained about for the past years, it's United's lack of presence in midfield. Despite catching a lot of grief, Sir Alex Ferguson did try to address the issue several times in his last few seasons at Old Trafford. Owen Hargreaves was unlucky, so was Darren Fletcher and Anderson never fit the role to begin with. The emergence of Tom Cleverley gave United a new perspective to how the midfield was to be run, while Phil Jones, who really is a centre back, was the only pure physical specimen when called upon in midfield. This has left Michael Carrick with the herculean task of controlling a midfield by positioning himself excellently, balancing the midfield and defence and acting as a deep-lying playmaker. A test which he has passed with flying colours, but that perhaps needs a bit revamping under David Moyes.
Although Carrick controls a game from the deep, even he has seem himself being combatted to the ground by the likes Yaya Touré. When faced with intense pressure from teams such as Man City, Liverpool and Everton, that task becomes too great even for Carrick. This is where Marouane Fellaini comes in. At 6'4" and with the frame of a barn door, there's only one adjective that could describe him at the heart of Manchester United's midfield: Brobdingnagian. Despite not being credited for it, Fellaini levels out his lack of pace with a high footballing IQ. He'll position himself where he thinks things will happen. This may also be the reason why David Moyes used him as an offensive midfielder for a great part of the 2012/2013-season. As midfields would be running at Carrick and Fellaini, they'd face a battering ram of gigantic proportions in Fellaini before Michael Carrick elegantly sweeps away what Fellaini misses, somewhat in a similar manner to how Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand made their partnership in the heart of defence function.
But this is midfield, right? And Fellaini adds plenty of things to a Manchester United midfield that severely lacks presence. He's not a midfield maestro and nor does he need to be. Looking at how Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney interchange in terms of dropping deep and establishing play from the back, Fellaini won't need to part take in that. He will be called upon to carry the ball between the opposing lines. Again, something which he often did do at Everton, knowing that someone would secure the space left behind.
The undervalued factor, however, is the intimidation he'll scare out of opposing teams. In his first interview with MUTV after having signed Fellaini, Moyes mentioned how teams absolutely hate playing against Fellaini. United fans will know this all too well having seen United struggle to keep up with the behemoth in the league opener against Everton last season. This is also where the comparison to Roy Keane comes in. Fellaini is no Roy Keane, let's put that to bed already, but he's the player you're looking over your shoulder for. Because you know he's coming. And you know it's going to hurt when he gets there.
As the summer transfer window rolls into July, Manchester United continues to be linked with a number of high profile names. Robert Lewandowski, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, and even Edinson Cavani have all been rumored to be on their way to Old Trafford. Most Red Devils supporters would be thrilled to see any of these players in a Manchester United shirt next year, but it would be the arrival of Thiago Alcantara, from FC Barcelona, that would best serve the club.

U.S. Calls on the Might of Herculez
Edson Buddle and Herculez Gomez came from out of nowhere to make the U.S. World Cup team because they are potentially priceless commodities—hot strikers. Mr. Gomez became the first U.S. player to lead a foreign league in goals, with Puebla in Mexico's Primera Division. Mr. Buddle, of the Los Angeles Galaxy, is the leading scorer in Major League Soccer. They will team with Jozy Altidore and the speedy Robbie Findley to form an attack that just might have some sizzle, a rare quality for a U.S. team more typically known for its fitness and physicality.
Veterans Brian Ching and Eddie Johnson were notable snubs, though Mr. Ching has been nursing a hamstring injury.
At midfield, DaMarcus Beasley, who had a bad year with the Glasgow Rangers, won back head coach Bob Bradley's trust with a solid camp. He'll be part of the team's strongest unit, which features Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Jose Torres, and Mr. Bradley's son, Michael.
In the back, Clarence Goodson will make his World Cup debut. Captain Carlos Bocanegra, Oguchi Onyewu and Jonathan Spector are the anchors.
There are three goalkeepers, but the only one who truly matters is Tim Howard.

Apprenticeships are a programme of structured learning and work experience encompassing almost all vocational areas. They offer trainees a broad spectrum of work and not just individual skills. Apprentices learn through a combination of on and off the job education and training. Apprentices gain experience working alongside other employees in their workplace, while the College delivers additional skills and studies.
Thousands of businesses in our region have recognised that Apprenticeships can make organisations more effective, productive and competitive by addressing the skills gaps directly and ensuring that employees get the skills that employers value and need. As well as school leavers, those who may have been previously employed are also eligible, and prior experience can be taken into consideration when assigning places.
The College also offers Higher Apprenticeships in the following areas: Construction, Civil Engineering and Building Services Engineering, you can find out more information HERE

The company warned that it would fail to meet its targets for the rest of the fiscal year. Company CEO Peter Loscher was quoted in the release as saying that "we don't expect any tailwinds from the global economy to help us reach our ambitious goals."

Can someone provide a transcription for the name "Kyrylo" - how it will actually sound?

Keer-əl-oh. (ə is the schwa, an attenuated "uh" sound.)
You might think about calling yourself Cyril in English-speaking countries. Quite a few people will find "Kyrylo" strange and hard to pronounce, where Cyril is quite common. (You may not be able to get used to the soft C, of course, in which case just ignore me).
What language is your native? You know that names is specific words, that sounds as it sounds at place where it appeared. So in Ukrainian it sounds like [kirilo] and if you want just transcription а this word you can use Google translator http://translate.google.com.ua/#en|ru|Kyrylo

Travis Burns morphs from angry ant to cool cat
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- February 04, 2011
PENRITH five-eighth Travis Burns has vowed to shed the angry ant image, admitting his "brain snaps", poor relationship with refs and competitiveness was "bringing me undone".
The fiercely combative Burns has a reputation for testing the patience of NRL whistleblowers and remains one of the Panthers' most penalised players.
But a summer of reflection and elevation to the club's leadership group has left Burns, 26, convinced he must curb the passion to deliver his best.
A bulked-up Burns has added 7kg to his frame to tip the scales at 91kg. However, he says a change in attitude is the real key to success in 2011.
And that means learning to move on when the whistle blows.
"I'm competitive, but sometimes that competitiveness is what brings me undone," Burns told The Daily Telegraph.
"It's something Matty [Elliott] has spoken to me about and something I've worked on in the pre-season, trying not to let things rattle me."
Burns' battered image was seemingly set in stone in his rookie season with Manly in 2006 when he finished the year as the NRL's most ill-disciplined player, with a whopping 30 penalties from 25 matches.
And although he managed to rein in the number from 40 in his first 37 games to 27 in his past 40 matches, it's what happens next that counts.
"I've got a bit of a reputation with the referees so I've got to sort of pull it back a bit this year and change my demeanour and not be as animated when things go against me," he said.
"Sometimes I get caught up with something that happened four or five plays ago which stops me from concentrating on what's happening at that stage."
Now in his second season at Penrith, after stints at Manly and North Queensland, Burns enters 2011 with the security of being first-choice five-eighth for the first time in his career after struggling to cement himself in the position with the Sea Eagles and Cowboys.
His partnership with halfback Luke Walsh was a key to the Panthers' breakthrough finals appearance last year.
And with Elliott handing him a more senior role, the nuggety playmaker is desperate to show more consistency.
"I'm not a rookie any more. I'm only a few games off 100 games, so it's about time to step up and be consistent week in, week out," he said.
"That's something that has sort of let me down in the past. I'll play a few good games and I'll go off the boil."
Burns expects his partnership with Walsh to blossom further this year after a limited pre-season together in 2010.
"We struck up a combination last year and we're starting to read each other's games better, so I think you'll see the best out of us this year," he said.

We open when the Red Delicious / Gala are ready to pick.
With 12 different varieties of apples at Hill Creek Farms you will be sure to always have fresh apples to pick from Opening day through the end of November. We take pride in keeping our orchard clean and safe for all to enjoy.
The farm is open:
Many orchards open their fields to visitors who pick their own fruit. Hill Creek Farms offers both the opportunity to pick your own, as well as lease our three tree varieties for a full year. The farm is open nearly every day to the public.
Sets of three trees (one of each variety, growing side-by-side) are available for $225. Six trees are available for $400. Exclusive picking rights extend through November 2015. Give us a call regarding discounts for schools and businesses.
Leasing is not only an extra pleasure but is a real bargain. All the apples growing at the farm are premium varieties. They commonly sell for $2.49 a pound or more in supermarkets.
Our trees produce from 125 to 175 pounds of fruit. Leasing lets you buy locally and enjoy the outdoors - while saving money. Our harvest season extends over three and one half months, with each variety lasting about three and a half weeks.

I really don't understand why other people are complaining.
The Ravel is an old building in an industrial area. With that old building and area comes the charm. By that, I mean that the floors were uneven at times, the ceilings were not perfectly flat - but for me that only adds to the charm.
The rooms were large, and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable - better than any hotel I have ever been in.
All the staff at the Ravel were courteous, friendly and very helpful. They certainly did all they could to accommodate our large group (several rooms), and kept us close together.
The subway was only a ten minute walk from the hotel - and we all felt very safe walking back late at night (2:45 on New Years). We did not see the drug paraphernalia littered about that other people commented on, there were no hookers hanging around or any of the other things that people have negatively reviewed/complained about. The area is no dirtier than any part of Manhattan.
If you arrived back to the subway station off times (they run FREE twice on the hour until 10 am, then hourly (on the hour) until 10 pm). You only had to call the hotel, and they would send the shuttle immediately to pick you up. The location of the subway (and hotel) is very convenient for traveling into Manhattan (allowing guests to return for a break/drop off purchases, etc. without disrupting the day too much).
The staff recommended a fabulous local restaurant - and the shuttle took us there and picked us up again (again for a $5 fee - but I am sure a cab would be more, and not as comfortable).
We parked our car with no hassles for the week - and felt safe leaving it there.
The rooftop restaurant has absolutely amazing views - and is very comfortable. Our room was on a lower level (at our request) - so our view was of a red brick heritage building that is owned by Silvercup Studios. The building is boarded up presently, but that does not take away it's beauty. We did not book the hotel for the view.
We discovered the breakfasts available on our last morning there (previously we had gone into Manhattan to find somewhere to eat). The value and quality was fabulous at the hotel. My only complaint (if you can call it that) is that they did not offer decaffeinated coffee there.
If you are looking for a hidden gem - then look no further.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Long Island City's first boutique hotel featuring lavishly decorated rooms that overlook the Manhattan skyline, the hotel is nested between the Queensboro Bridge and Midtown Manhattan. Whether traveling for business, pleasure, or both, the Ravel offers every comfort of home. Where you can enjoy a true city experience without the hassle. ... more less

BUTTE, Mont. (April 4, 2013)—A goat stolen from a petting zoo at a resort wandered into a bar last weekend in Montana, but didn't get a chance to order.
Fairmont Hot Springs Resort general manager Steve Luebeck said staffers knew the goat was missing, but didn't realize it had been stolen until they saw a story in The Montana Standard on Wednesday that said a goat was taken into a bar early Sunday in Butte, Mont.
The pygmy goat, named "Shirley, was returned to the resort's petting zoo.
Luebeck told The Standard he has never had an animal stolen from the zoo, which has goats and miniature horses.
He says managers would like to know who took the animal so they can press charges.

News Nappy Halloween!
posted by November 7 at 13:38 PMon
I don't know what's more troubling. That an employee of the Department of Homeland Security—which is constantly under fire for singling out people of color at airports—thought it would be a good idea to wear blackface, fake dreadlocks, and a prison uniform to an agency Halloween party or that three of his managers—including Julie L. Myers, assistant secretary of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement division—awarded him the prize for "most original" costume.

I found it immensely touching that these women found it in themselves to keep plugging away. Despite everything, they ended their days with a measure of peace and happiness.
In telling their remarkable story, filmmaker Leslie Zemeckis has not only etched a heart-wrenching portrait of their individual and dual misfortunes, she has subtly illuminated on the general public's dark fascination with "freaks."
It would be hard not to make a thought-provoking, heartstring-tugging film from this source material, and Bound by Flesh certainly tells the twins' story effectively.

Comments about Electrolux 22.19 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel:
I have had my Electrolux side by side for 2 years and have had zero problems. Its the nicest appliance in my Kitchen. The Ice Maker works fine also. I run the Glass shelves in the top rack of Dishwasher so keeping the inside is a breeze also. No problems from this happy customer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Horrible ice maker
By Nelle
from Land of Oz
I LOVE the lighting in this fridge and the way it cools consistently throughout the fridge, meaning no frozen or warm places. Had I been subjected to the days long, 15 second intervals of the loudly clicking ice maker that is either not dumping the cubes properly or collects water and freezes where a certain mechanism is (as I've since read on the internet), would I have purchased this fridge? Absolutely not. It'll drive you crazy! This seems to happen every six weeks or so. I've succumbed to it's torture and am finally looking for a fix. Although I'm not too optimistic judging by what I've read.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Awful Quality
By Peter1
from New Canaan, CT, United States
We bought this refrigerator in November, 2012. Since that time the repair service has been to our house 8 times----can you believe 8 different times!! In In late November, 2014, no ice. In December, 2014---no ice, In May, 2015 replaced thermostat damper, In Sept., 2015 replaced motherboard---you can see now we started to keep track of the parts. So far we've replace or will have replaced the terminator thermostat, Thermestor (being replaced today), control board and a heating element. If you buy this refrigerator you must buy the extended warranty. I also have an Electrolux microwave and stove---again multiple trips from the repair service.
By Ringing ears
from Seattle, WA, United States
I have really enjoyed this refrigerator for it's functionality and design. The difficulty I have is with the high pitched sound from the condenser. It has been ear piercing for me during it's operation. I thought there was a mechanical problem and had a technician come for maintenance. He said there's nothing wrong, the high pitched sound is the condenser running. This is how they sound, they've made them more efficient and this creates the noise. Now I have developed ringing in my ears each night when I go to sleep. I wish there was a way to muffle this sound as it has ruined my experience with this refrigerator. Unfortunately, I'm sure all refrigerators now made with this kind of condenser have the same issue. I may be overly sensitive, so if you don't mind the sound then I recommend this appliance.
Lots of space and nice features
By VPYV
from San Mateo, CA, United States
I bought this refrigerator a month ago to upgrade from a 17 year old appliance. We like the customizable fridge which gives us ample storage configurations and the soft freeze compartment. The ice cream is just perfect inside the soft freeze drawer. Drawback - the ice maker takes a very long to make ice unless the 'quick ice' function is turned on. I think this bumps up the energy consumption. The water pump for the ice is a little more noisy than we expected.
Love it but wish there was more room

We recently remodeled our kitchen and bought all new appliances. We chose the Electrolux counter depth refrigerator. Im glad I did. I really like the sleek look and I love how the drawers are soft close!

Total Disaster
By Hurricane1008
Our initial Electrolux failed to cool below 40 degrees. After multiple visits by the repair tech, the vendor replaced the refrigerator with a new one. Our replacement Electrolux failed to cool at all. We replaced it with a different brand.
Electrolux C80KS Refrigerator
By Chef Jeff
from Ramona, CA
I really like the self closing drawers in both the refrigerator and freezer. The bottom pull out freezer makes removing items easily accessible. The LED lights are great for illuminating items in both the front and back of the refrigerator. The individual temperature control drawer is useful for making cheese close to room temperature and keeping meat colder than the rest of the refrigerator.
Sleek design and great capacity
By HM PHL
from Philadelphia, PA, United States
We purchased the Electrolux refrigerator to replace our old freezer/fridge combo. We chose the Electrolux because of its sleek design. I don't like a lot of controls and buttons showing on the outside of the fridge and I don't need a water dispenser since we have an auxiliary water cooler/heater. Inside, we liked the glass shelving and upgraded features like the perfect temp drawer and soft serve drawer. Refrigerator looks great in our kitchen and we're glad we did the counter depth which adds to the sleek appearance of the appliance. The freezer drawer does seem smaller than our old freezer on top model but we have an extra freezer in the basement so it suffices.

Well, as HTC_Phone said, its a BETA and I guess, the problem is probably in Sense itself, so we can't really change it.
Anyway, lets wait to some new release..

SUN VALLEY, Idaho (AP) - Jay Call, the founder of the Flying J Fuel Co., which operates 167 travel plazas throughout the United States and Canada, died Saturday along with two others when a private jet crashed in southern Idaho. He was 62.
The Cessna Citation flown by Call and carrying Richard Germer, recently retired vice president of Flying J, and his wife, Ilene, went down Saturday near the Little Wood Reservoir, sheriff's officials said.
Blaine County Sheriff Walt Femling said search efforts were hampered by rain and heavy snow, and the wreckage was not found until Sunday.
Call, Flying J board chairman, founded the Ogden, Utah-based company in 1968 with two truck stops.
Call was flying Germer and his wife back to their home in Ketchum, Idaho.
On the last leg of the journey, the plane went down 40 miles southeast of the Hailey airport.

June 22, 2010 by Rob Newell
GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. - Some call it Guntersville, some call it G-ville, others simply say it's the best bass fishery in America.
No matter what it goes by, the fact that Lake Guntersville continues to produce quality bass after quality bass, despite the barrage of fishing pressure it receives during the course of a year, is simply mind boggling.
This week, as the FLW Tour stops by the famed TVA impoundment for its fifth and final qualifying in event in 2010, the anticipation and expectations are running about as high as the near 100-degree daytime temperatures in North Alabama.
The expectations are high because of the weights Guntersville can produce on any given day. And the anticipation is high because this is the final event in the 2010 FLW Tour Angler of the Year race.
In the last two years, the Angler of the Year race has produced some tumultuous shakeups in the last event of the season.
Two years ago, Andy Morgan and Glenn Browne were in a heated two-man race going into the Detroit River event. They hit the wall in the final lap, causing a contagious pile-up among all the front-runners and David Dudley came all the way from 5th place in the standings to win.
Last year Brent Ehrler had a hold on the AOY race going into the final event at Champlain. And even though Ehrler turned in a respectable 22nd place performance at Champlain, he got passed up by Clark Wendlandt for the AOY honors.
This year's battle could also result in such a last-minute melee.
The FLW Tour's two powerhouse pros Bryan Thrift and Brent Ehrler are separated by 21 points in the AOY standings and they are going to duke it out, cast for cast, in a 100-degree pressure cooker for the AOY trophy in the next few days.
Current points leader Bryan Thrift has had an unprecedented season, scoring three top-fives in a row, including a win at Lake Norman. He has finished fifth in the AOY race in the last two seasons and wants his first FLW Tour title now.
Meanwhile, Ehrler has won two events this season, at Table Rock and Ouachita. He has finished second and third in the AOY race the last two years and is tired of waiting his turn to hold his own AOY trophy.
While the FLW Tour's two best pros go head to head on Guntersville this week, several other pros are hoping their embroiled battle leads to inexplicable meltdowns, similar to what happen in 2008.
Ish Monroe, Andy Morgan and Rusty Salewske all have a chance at winning the 2010 FLW Tour AOY should the door be left open. And if you don't believe it, just consider that Dudley was some 80 points behind going into the last event when he won all the marbles in 2008.
So what's it going to take to get well at G-ville this week? Some of the local pros all allude to the same things: timing, rhythm and rotation.
Though that might sound more like terminology you would hear on Dancing with the Stars, getting in the groove at Guntersville is going to a goal for many this week. Staying in step with spot rotation based on sudden changes in current and fishing pressure is the name of the game.
Local favorite Randall Tharp of Gardendale, Ala., says the old days of camping on one "secret spot" every day to win a tournament at Guntersville are largely over.
"Everyone knows the best places now," Tharp said. "This lake is so popular and it's been on T.V. so many times for tournaments, everyone knows what to look for. Add to that all the incredible electronics we have these days and every drop, ditch, hump, ledge and break has been scoured. To win at Guntersville these days, it's all about making the right moves at the right times."
"In order to avoid the pressure, you have to be willing to fish new places everyday," he added. "I'm prepared to fish a completely different section of the lake with different techniques each day if I have to. You can't get caught flat-footed on the same old places out here."
Tennessee's Andy Morgan is well-versed in the Guntersville two-step as well.
"It's like a big game of musical chairs out there," Morgan laughed. "When one guy leaves a spot, another one pulls up there to fish it. There are no more secret spots, period. Every one knows where all the good spots are and they fish them constantly. Modern-day electronics with digital contour maps, accurate GPSing and side-scan have really exposed everything out there."
These days Morgan defines a "secret spot" as one that has not been fished in the last 24 hours. Being acutely aware of pressure zones - especially places that have not been fished for a day or two - is part of the game.
In a way, getting into the Guntersville groove is like trying to find a rhythm to a soundtrack that's constantly changing from Rock to Country to Jazz to Pop with some occasional Grunge thrown in for good measure. One minute you might be dancing to Barry Manilow and the next minute it's Nirvana.
"Rhythm and timing is everything here," Morgan said. "And it's based on so many factors including current, fishing pressure and weather and you have to be aware of them at all times. I might be fishing one pattern, then see the current suddenly kick on and that brings a whole new set of places into my mind. Or I'll be headed to a spot and notice another spot that has not had any boats around it for a couple hours and totally change my rotation to take advantage of that golden opportunity. You have to be ready for whatever opportunity presents itself next."
Scott Canterbury of Springville, Ala., agrees, giving his assessment of the Guntersville daily dance.
"Being at the right place at the right time once or twice might work on other lakes," Canterbury said. "But on Guntersville, you have to be at the right place at the right time every time you stop to fish, all day long."
And not only are there hundreds of places to catch bass at G-ville right now, there are hundreds of ways to catch them.
Unlike winter, when rattling lipless crankbaits are the only lure to throw, during the summer time, just about any lure is fair game, which makes finding a rhythm even more difficult.
During the second day of practice, Bryan Thrift had 23 rods out on his front deck, each one donning a different lure.
"Yeah, I'm dialed in," Thrift joked about the plethora of poles heaped up in two piles along the gunnels.
"Go ahead and take a picture of all those rods for the Internet," he directed with a laugh. "I want everyone to see what lures I'm throwing - all 23 of them - and maybe they'll be as confused I am."
Thrift noted that he visited Guntersville before the official off-limits period and that fishing was "unreal." Since being back on the lake for official practice, things have not been as productive.
"The first day (of practice), I was a little worried," Thrift said. "It really was not that great for me. But it's gotten a little better since then. As for the Angler of the Year, all I can do is go fishing and fish the very best I can each day. I wish I could sit here and say I'm going to wreck them this week, but with 23 rods on the deck obviously I'm not going to make such a claim."

New Language Flagship Program Meets Critical Need for Arabic Speakers
Tue, September 25, 2007
Although the United States government has identified Arabic as a language critical to national security, few Americans are proficient. The university's Arabic Flagship Program (AFP) will address the deficiency, increasing the number of advanced Arabic speakers.
The university has one of the most prominent Arabic programs in the nation, including the largest group of tenured faculty devoted full-time to teaching Arabic language, literature and culture. It is also home to the Center for Arabic Study Abroad, the nation's premier study abroad program for Arabic students.
Americans' interest in the language has soared in recent years, but enrollment numbers are far below more popular languages. In 2002, 10,000 students were enrolled in college-level Arabic courses, compared to more than 700,000 in Spanish.
The AFP is one of the few U.S. programs designed to train students in both Modern Standard Arabic and colloquial dialects such as Egyptian and Levantine Arabic. Modern Standard Arabic is used for reading and writing. Colloquial forms are used in everyday life and are crucial to navigating day-to-day business in Arab-speaking countries.
In addition to language classes, students in the four-year undergraduate AFP will attend cultural events, films and lectures, and will study abroad in an intensive yearlong program in an Arab-speaking country.
"Government agencies, universities and many private companies are eager for fluent Arabic speakers," said Mahmoud Al-Batal, director of the university's AFP and associate professor of Arabic. "Not only will students learn about a rich culture and language, but they will open the door to numerous opportunities after graduation."
Enrollment in the AFP will be highly competitive, and students will be selected from a variety of majors, including international relations, business, economics, psychology and film.
For more information contact: Mahmoud Al-Batal, associate professor, Department of Middle Eastern Studies, 512-471-3463; or Tracy Mueller, public affairs specialist, College of Liberal Arts, 512-471-2404.

Kim Kardashian wants a part in 'Coronation Street'.
The 31-year-old socialite has asked a top American movie producer who works in London to speak to their U.K. contacts about a cameo role in the British soap.
Kim watched the program as well as 'EastEnders' on her recent visit to Britain and is eager to make an appearance in either show.
A source told The Sun: ''Kim was really impressed with British TV - especially 'Coronation Street' and 'EastEnders.'''
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star was in the U.K. last month with her rapper boyfriend Kanye West to watch him perform alongside Jay-Z during their Watch The Throne tour.
The source added: ''After watching an episode of Corrie she tried to mimic the northern accent. She'd love a cameo just so she could sneak around the set.''
Rapper Snoop Dogg is also a big fan of the ITV show and asked producers to get him a job in the butcher's shop.
Snoop said: ''My people have reached out to the producers and we're going to do it.
''They should definitely put some Snoop Dogg in there. I'd have my man David Beckham in there working with me -- he's my guy.''

It is a lot of hassle to get this to work for custom post types that are not typical. For example, if you have a custom post type with no menu in the sidebar, you won't be able to re-order the items. If you assign your custom post to "show in menu" under another menu, the re-order link won't appear, and for some reason it will give you permission errors.
It seems like a great plugin if it were only more developer friendly. If it had a function like...
"get_reorder_link( $post_type );"
Then I could just fix it myself.

I am maintaining a billing application written in ASP.NET 3.5 in VS2008. Invoices are crystal reports using the crystal reports that comes with VS2008.
The front page of my invoice has a number of graphics at the top and bottom, in particular the front page graphic footer is flush with the bottom of the page.
The customer has now requested that page footers be added to the invoice. I've added a simple page footer with page numbers and a separating line. I've also set it suppress the footer on page 1.
The problem is the space the page footer would occupying is still visible as white space on the front page, breaking the invoice layout. I have set "Reserve Minimum Page Footer" and "Suppress Blank Section" and both have no effect. From my research it appears that there is no solution in this version of crystal reports.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution that didn't require a new version of crystal reports?
Currently I've gone with adding page numbers to the page header and that works ok. I tried the recommendations http://www.crystalkeen.com/articles/crystalreports/pagebreaksconditional.htm, found from another SO question but that didn't work. My report doesn't display a details section. It displays the front page in the header and the details pages are sub reports in footers.

Marmot Basin is one well-kept Canadian Rockies secret. With stunning views of Jasper National Park on a bluebird day, we tromped around the mountain last Friday for a skiing patchwork of glades, bowls, chutes, and groomers. The varied terrain let everyone find their niche, and at the end of the day, the favorite stash list was as numerous as people. Being in a national park, it's one of these rare areas where every run is natural--no bulldozers regrading slopes into a one incessant pitch. The result? A kicky hill that's fun to ski. And you can even get fresh powder turns days after a snowfall.
Marmot has also seen a record snowfall year. Late fall dumps allowed the area to open early, and the new snowmaking system installed on the lower runs will keep it open later in the season.
Highway 16 off the Paradise Chair won the groomer award, pulling us back for another couple laps. While forays off Knob Chair were mixed powder with a little windpacked crunch, trails in Eagle East and Charlie's Bowl still held straight powder. In Eagle's East, we cut in to Drop Zone for pleasant powder turns and worked down through the glades. Lower tree routes became tight and scraped where skier traffic funneled routes back to Slash. Even late in the day, Charlie's Bowl still held a few fresh powder tracks, although we hit wind chop on a few turns.
Lunch in the lodge's restaurant was accompanied by unbeatable southerly views. You could see the Icefields Parkway snaking along the valley floor. Plans for next winter include the addition of a long deck off the restaurant; I can just imagine lounging there with a beer after skiing!
With no on-mountain lodging, skiers stay in Jasper, 19 kilometers from the ski hill. It's an easy drive, or a quick bus ride, if you'd rather sit back to look for elk or bighorn sheep.
Marmot Basin is one place I'd hit again. It may be smaller than the other Canadian Rockies resorts, and it may be a heck of a lot further north, but the terrain is downright fun to ski.

One shouldn't confuse this type of special with an After School Special, because none of the major networks are going to be bold enough to air this program. This production is jam-packed with heavy hitters showcasing their sexual skills. The only drawback is that much of the editing within each scene is way too choppy, and it hurts the players' performances. However, that doesn't mean that some of the girls don't get nasty with their sex education.
The best scenes are the ones that feature raucous anal sex, complete with helpings of A2M. Kat appears stellar in fetish garb and Mark Wood proceeds to hammer away at her asshole until he pops in her mouth, which she swallows. Wood also provides Mya Mason with a dose of anal reaming, and she seems almost too happy to oblige, and Amber Peach doesn't even worry about vaginal sex before her backdoor turn.
Retailing: Good vignette padding.
