In their first two games, South Carolina raced out to leads of 11-0 and 19-0. Saturday, the early lead was only 5-0. The Gamecocks led just 11-7 after six minutes of play, but a 13-0 run over the next four minutes made it 24-7 and gave Carolina a working margin they would never relinquish. All told, the Gamecocks shot 54% from the field in the first half while holding Upstate to 38% shooting.
"I thought our guys came out defensively with tremendous effort, which fueled our early lead," said Darrin Horn. "We saw good effort the entire game, which we were really pleased with."
The second half was a different story, and not a good one for the Gamecocks. After trailing by as many as 27, Upstate used a 12-1 run to pull within 14 with 8 minutes to play. Zam Fredrick answered with a three-pointer, and then the teams went nearly four minutes without scoring. In the second half, Carolina shot just 31% from the field, and played Upstate to a 28-28 tie in the half.
"I think we had a couple of break downs that led to some easy baskets for them," Horn said. "Offensively we weren't as good. I'm not displeased with the effort by any stretch. Part of growing as a team is learning to play with those kind of leads."
Defensively, Carolina remained solid. Despite playing reasonably well in the second half, Upstate still shot just 40% from the floor. Even better, the Gamecocks forced Upstate into 20 turnovers. All three Gamecock opponents this season have had at least 20 turnovers, which has played a major part in Carolina's offense.
"We only forced seven turnovers in the first half, but we turned a lot of them into baskets," said Horn. "That's one of the reasons we weren't as good in the second half: we weren't able to get baskets off our defense."
One game after Mike Holmes and Dominique Archie both notched double-doubles, Carolina got limited production from its front line. Archie also had four points on 2-9 shooting, and just six rebounds. Holmes had double digit rebounds again, with 12 boards, but he shot just 2-15 for four points.
"I think anytime that happens you can't discredit the defense," said Horn. "I think the more important thing to notice is that on a night where he is 2-15, he still grabs 12 boards, seven of them offensive, and contributes an assist, a block, and a couple steals."
A big reason for Holmes' struggles was his big opponent. 7'3" Spartan center Nick Schneiders came in averaging 8.5 points and rebounds, and two blocks. He scored just 8 points on 4-8 shooting, but pulled down 11 boards and blocked five shots, both season highs. More importantly, he was able to frustrate Holmes all day.
"Nick has developed into a guy that's difficult to score over," said Upstate coach Eddie Payne. "He is a difficult matchup, particularly for someone who is undersized and not that quick. Holmes is a big, strong guy, but Nick is quick enough to stay between him and the basket."
Fredrick led the Gamecocks with a season-high 23 points. Devan Downey had an efficient game with 16 points, six assists, four steals, and only one turnover. Mitchell Carter sustained a cut over his right eye, which bled onto his jersey. When he came back into the game late in the second half, he was wearing a blank #51 jersey instead of his normal #55. Attendance has declined for each game, going from an announced 11,439 to 7,231 to only 5,573.

Set the scene with scented candles, and your memories will return each time you capture a whiff in the scent.

The Olympics were anything but boring - and for that, this customer deserves a "jerks" tag.
ReplyDeleteReplies- Anonymous9/18/2012 11:48 AM
I have to wonder about the mental faculties of anyone who finds the olympics anything other than brain numbingly tedious. It's the teletubbies of sporting events. All bright colors and tinkly sounds and nothing ever happens that matters and underneath it it's the exact same thing every single time.
Any sporting event that feels it has to include acts like the who and a spice girls reunion (Seriously? Spice girls? What the actual F were they thinking?) to make it seem interesting can have all that much going for it in itself. - Anonymous9/19/2012 7:08 AM
Olympics boring AND shit because the Spice Girls appeared for three minutes, where the hell were you born, Universal Studios in Florida? Christ, the stupidity of the customers is leaking into the comments section. Get thee to the Comic Store and give Tim some more ammo to work with.
Delete I don't think the Spice Girls three minute presence was really what they were hoping viewers were going to take away from the whole thing; they were there because the weird closing ceremony was supposed to represent British music, and there is no denying that they played a huge part in it (I still have all those reprinted photographs Coca-Cola were giving away when you collected enough pink ringpulls... or was it Pepsi? I must have drunk a lot of Pepsi for those, and I hate Pepsi).
I don't wonder about the 'mental faculties' of people who enjoy the Olympics. It's supposed to be inspiring; a big sporting event to get people interested in sports; keeping fit and to celebrate the country it is held in.
People enjoy it for the experience and the memories as well; my grandfather went to two Olympics in his lifetime (1936 (during which he was jumped on by the SS for looking suspicious) and 1948 (for which he was a reserve). He was very proud that the UK won this one just gone when we did. If he had been able to see the 2012 Olympics, I doubt he would have complained about the frelling Spice Girls...- Anonymous9/20/2012 3:31 AM
But the olympics are supposed to be about sport, not "british music". Or selling advertising, which seems top be all the olympics are any more.
Sure the olympics used to mean something, but these days they're just another way to pimp soft drinks. - Anonymous9/23/2012 8:39 PM
It's also about international relations and celebrating the host country. Hence the British music.

I don't know what issue it was, but they once had Superman vs The Flash in a race around the world. Not 100% sure who one, I think it was Superman.

The Flash let Superman win. It was for charity.
Not even Superman can go faster than Flash's top speed of "goes fast." You kids today and your "yeah, this ONE time Superman raced the Flash..." http://www.amazon.com/Superman-vs-The-Flash-Various/dp/1401204562/

Superman raced the Flash on several occasions. In the original, classic race in SUPERMAN #199, the outcome was a tie. Other races against each Flash (Barry, Wally and Jay) and even Impulse had different results, but usually skewed it in favor of Flash.
- wumpus9/18/2012 6:03 PM
I've never been a big DC man, but now I'm stuck wondering if Superman or Flash could beat Aquaman in the 200 meter backstroke. Keeping in mind, of course, that they would have to actually do the backstroke and not just run across the pool.

Huh... I think I just described a majority of superhero comics.Replies- Anonymous9/19/2012 10:44 AM
Yep. People who aren't into superhero comics, that's usually the reason. It certainly is for me. Give me rounded characters with no plot armor any day.

A nine-month jail term was ordered Wednesday in Lenawee County Circuit Court for a drunken driver convicted of crashing into two police cars in Tecumseh in an attempt to avoid arrest.
The sentence and an order to release Eduardo Garcia Lopez to federal immigration authorities were handed down by Judge Margaret M.S. Noe. Garcia Lopez and his public defender made no comments during the sentencing. The jail term is concurrent with a six-month sentence he received last week in district court for an operating while intoxicated conviction.
Garcia Lopez pleaded guilty Oct. 2 to two counts of felonious assault and two counts of assaulting, resisting and obstructing police. Garcia Lopez, a citizen of Mexico, was working in the Deerfield area in September. In the early morning of Sept. 10, a Tecumseh police officer and a Lenawee County sheriff's deputy set up a traffic stop on M-50 to intercept a reported drunken driver approaching on M-50.
After being stopped, Garcia Lopez admitted he smashed into both police cars in an attempt to get away. He has been held in lieu of a $400,000 bond and was given credit for 58 days served in jail.

Director Todd Strauss-Schulson's film The Final Girls received rave reviews when it premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival earlier this year, and it appears poised to join the ranks of similarly well-received projects that play with the tropes of the horror genre (i.e., The Cabin in the Woods, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, and the Scream franchise) in clever ways. With a limited theatrical release for the film planned later this year, the first trailer for the movie has debuted online and offers a peek at what to expect from this clever spin on summer camp slasher films.
The film follows a high-school senior played by American Horror Story actress Taissa Farmiga who finds herself and her friends suddenly transported into the '80s slasher movie that was her deceased, scream-queen mother's most famous work. Now face to face with the mother she lost years ago (Watchmen actress Malin Akerman), Max and her friends must find a way to escape from the movie, survive the machete-wielding killer out to slaughter the camp's sex-crazy counselors, and possibly prevent her mom from dying this time around.
Related: Scariest trailer of the year? Watch the preview for The Witch and find out
As the trailer makes abundantly clear, The Final Girls doesn't shy away from toying with — and occasionally ridiculing — the conventions of old-school slasher films, and its characters find themselves dealing with unexpected slow-motion shots, black-and-white flashbacks, and even inconveniently placed, scene-establishing text at various points in the footage.
Along with Farmiga and Akerman, the film stars Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev, Vikings actor Alexander Ludwig, Arrested Development actress Alia Shawkat, Silicon Valley actor Thomas Middleditch, and Pitch Perfect's Adam Devine.
The Final Girls had its world premiere on opening night of SxSW in March, and was nominated for an Audience Award at the film festival. The film is based on a script by Joshua John Miller and M.A. Fortin, and it will receive a limited release in theaters Oct. 9.

At this moment on Midway Atoll, the juvenile albatrosses are in the throes of their courtship dances. Their nonstop rave is the main source of all the buoyant motion and noise on the island as they seek a bond before flying out to sea to feed for the remainder of the summer. In this poem I've attempted to capture the sights and sounds of this ecstatic dancing season.
Courtship Medley à la Albatross
It begins with a prance dance,
a tiptoe head-bob waddle
and a wing fluff. Then, fake a preen,
shake out a sideways
head-breaking shriek,
a chair-leg-floor-scrape scream,
and sidle into a crooked raga
with fast and furious tabla drums,
and applause, applause, wait –it's a drill-hammer fixing
a squeaky door behind the beak,
a flanking feather-grab tease
to a show of chocolate origami wings,
quick switcheroo to a bass kazoo,
throw the head up high, trumpet
to blow the clouds from the sky,
it's a match, it's a mate, a pact
to hatch an egg, raise a chick,then bid adieu until next season,
dancing days forever over
in favor of a lifelong bond.~Victoria Sloan Jordan
Chris Jordan and Jan Vozenilek share their experiences on Midway with students at Penticton Secondary School in British Columbia – Canada, and announce that Emily Chartrand, a grade 11 student, will be joining the expedition on their next journey to Midway Atoll in March 2011.
Working with Emily, the Midway Team is expanding its education outreach program, to connect with high school students in Canada and the United States. Starting on Sunday March 20th, Emily will be providing daily reports on her blog:

MANIFESTATIONS 2000-2001Deathspell OmegaTech/Extreme Prog Metal1.42 | 7 ratings |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator |
Manifestations 2000-2001 is a compilation by French black metal act Deathspell Omega. This is not a best of album but rather a collection of songs that have already been released on other projects. There are six songs on the album. The first two songs were originally released on the 2002 Split EP with fellow French black metal act M�tiilation. The next three were originally released on the 2001 Sob A Lua Do Bode / Demoniac Vengeance LP with German black metal act Moonblood. The last song on the album Black Crushing Sorcery was recorded during the same session as the three latter songs but was released on the
Black Metal Blitzkrieg V/A LP. This is the only song I haven�t heard before. The music on the album is raw and simple old school black metal with a noisy lo-fi production. I can understand why some people would find this charming but that charm mostly eludes me. The sound quality differs between the two sessions and the sound on the two songs from the M�tiilation split is most enjoyable IMO. Black Crushing Sorcery sounds much like the other songs from the Moonblood split. The musicianship is generally good but the compositions are rather one-dimensional and repetitive in nature. To enjoy this release you gotta have a strong love for extensive and intense blast beating, raspy vocals and little variation within songs and between songs. Out of the two sessions that these songs come from I only partially enjoy the two songs from the M�tiilation split while all songs from the second session which is also an older session doesn�t impress me enough to warrant more than a 1 star rating when all songs are taken into account. Old school black metal fans might get something out of this but I would recommend that you listen to the Manifestations 2002 (2008) release instead if you want to listen to how Deathspell Omega sounded in their early years. Manifestations 2000-2001 is mared by bad sound quality and primitive songwriting.

The Iran nuclear deal signed in 2015 with major world powers requires Iran to adhere to limits regarding its stock of heavy water. The excess must be shipped abroad.
However, Iran is challenging the obligation to ship out any stock that exceeds the 130-tonne limit. This has raised concerns that there will be a confrontation with the Trump administration because the Islamic Republic is fast approaching the limit.
Read more: Iran Disputes Obligation to Ship out Excess Heavy Water
A bipartisan group of senators said Thursday that they support additional sanctions against Iran over its ballistic missile tests, amid reports that the Trump administration will roll out financial penalties. 'THE Hill' reported on February 2. The following is the full text.
Twenty-two senators sent a letter — spearheaded by Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) — arguing that Iran "must feel sufficient pressure."

NCRI - On Sunday 29th of January 2017, the Spokesman of the Judiciary of Iran, Gholamhossein Mohseni Eje'I in a meeting with the agents of the Intelligence Organization of IRGC acknowledged that one of the members of Ahmadinejad's nuclear team was arrested on charges of spying and providing information to foreigners.
The EU on Tuesday warned Iran against stoking mistrust by continuing ballistic missile tests, after Tehran told the new US administration not to use the issue as a pretext to create fresh tensions.
"The EU reiterates its concern about Iran's missile program and calls upon Iran to refrain from activities which deepen mistrust, such as ballistic missile tests," said Nabila Massrali, an EU foreign affairs spokeswoman.
NCRI - Referring to the nuclear deal anniversary, Khamenei's representative in Sistan and Baluchestan province said that "today, we see that there's an increasing youth unemployment, economic problems have deepened and the government's promises are emptier than ever."
Speaking in Zahedan on January 20, Abbasali Soleimani added that "it should be investigated which side did win the negotiations. Prior to the nuclear deal, we had 11,800 kg of enriched uranium, thousands of centrifuges and the balancing power in the soft war, all of which have decreased following the nuclear deal."

NCRI - Expressing concern over the split and internal predicament at the top of regime, after the death of Rafsanjani and squibbing against him, Khamenei's Friday prayer leader in Tehran, Mullah Seddiqui, attacked Rohani's government for the failure of Nuclear Deal and stated:
"Our people have every right to say Down with USA, since those, who by expressing optimism, were trying to makeup America's face, and promised that, because of Nuclear Deal all the country's economic problems are to be solved, caused more economic recession, more shut - down manufacture centers, more youth unemployment, and more sanctions over the previous ones while the sanctions were supposed to be lifted in one year.

NCRI - The conference by Iranian regime's president, Hassan Rouhani, on Monday, was overshadowed by the latest statement of the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump who described the JCPOA as the most stupid agreement.
Rouhani in a fearful and defensive reply said: The (JCPOA) agreement is a win-win and also beneficial for the U.S."

NCRI - On the anniversary of the Iranian regime's nuclear deal with the major world powers, the state-run Kayhan Newspaper slammed Hassan Rouhani's government and wrote: "Nowadays the government has undoubtedly incurred considerable and irreversible damages to the regime. Nevertheless, the government still insists on following the principals of Iran Deal which was not very much successful. Unlike Rouhani's claims, no sanction has ever been annulled or lifted. Instead, more sanctions have been imposed on Iran."

NCRI - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's incoming chief of staff said on Sunday that he thinks the nuclear deal with the Iranian regime "is on life support."
"I'm not here to declare one way or the other ultimately where this is going to go," incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on "This Week."

Our favorite airbnb stay so far! Amazing location and Frank and Nancy were just so lovely! We will definitely go back!
Esther2016-08-26T00:00:00ZAbsolute delightful place to spend a week. Charming and beautiful. Our favourite Airbnb we have visited thus far. Many thanks to Nancy and Franck who were friendly and welcoming. The place has a wood burner which makes it really cosy and homy. Also the place has everything you need in an absolutely beautiful area. Medieval towns nearby, and some beautiful scenic walks to be had. Really a gem if you have the chance to stay I highly recommend it. Also you may bump into the cutest cat of all time named Gaïa at some point.
Simon2016-11-26T00:00:00ZSuper beautiful place. So peaceful! The interior is incredible and very unique. We loved it. It was also spotlessly clean. Emilie's husband was so helpful with directions, welcoming us and he also gave us milk as we forget ours for our little boy. Thank you.
Rebecca2015-12-24T00:00:00ZWe have enjoyed very much staying with Emily and Georges, our hosts, who as well as respecting our privacy have provided us with a wonderful space in their converted hayloft, interesting conversations, information about local places and events, very friendly dogs, even some amazing cakes from the patisserie where Emily works. The tiny village is like an extended family which had invited us to stay. We have even come to love and understand the Rolls Royce of a fridge, whar Georges calls their heirloom bijou. Ans slowly we have also learned to manage the very narrow lanes which wind in and out of the many hamlets that make up the township of St Vincent d'Olargues. We will have spent a happy month with our friendly, cheerful and benerous hosts.
Robert2016-07-04T00:00:00ZThis late 1800's cottage was somehow even better than the photos. Very comfortable, beautifully furnished. Emilie was lovely and a excellent host. Great walks (particularly along the canyon behind Mons) and food to be had in the area. Hot tip, the local patisserie's shut at midday, so if you want bread get out of bed.
Tom2016-05-20T00:00:00ZNancy and Frank were such wonderful hosts. We were looking for a nice quite place to stay durning our Moto adventure through south france. They welcomed us on on our last minute request and were very friendly and hospitable! It was such a lovely place that we ended up staying an extra night. They live in a very small and quant town. A great place to get away from city life. If we ever are traveling in this area again we will definitely stay again. -Jennifer & Daniel
Jennifer 2016-10-23T00:00:00ZInspiring and stylish property in a lovely quiet and peaceful region. The road to the house is very narrow (there is also a dirt track which we found more accessible) and this became a daily adventure. We were welcomed by Jules the neighbour who gave a great background to the house and recommended some fantastic places to visit. We stayed as a couple and it worked very well for us. The lounge space is great (and cool) kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. I thoroughly recommend staying here
Nicola2016-08-02T00:00:00ZWe had some problems finding the house as the address on our itinerary didn't include Pradels (you'll need this to find the village and the house is up a very rugged lane with two narrow passes so don't take a very big car) but we managed to find the beautiful accommodation. Parking was ample under shady trees and literally a minute's walk away. The house is just as described and a very relaxing place to stay. There is everything you need there, the sofa and bed were very comfortable and lots of nice little extras. We didn't meet Nancy but the people who showed us round were lovely and helped us sort some wi-fi log on problems we had with our very limited French. I'd definitely recommend a stay her.

Lovely little apartment with everything you need and great hosts! Homemade muffins and fresh coffee- delightful!
Ruby2016-09-21T00:00:00ZJim and Stéphanie were incredible hosts and the apartment was central in Béziers, comfortable like being at home.
Iris2016-10-19T00:00:00ZI'll just start by saying that there are never going to be enough words to describe the kindness and hospitality that I recieved from Jim and Stéphanie. When I arrived, Stéphanie met me and helped me unload my luggage and helped me park the car. They made sure I had food to eat for the night (since I arrived so late). I will be staying in Beziers for a year and so I had quite a lot of luggage and a long journey from Colorado some days prior. The apartment itself is quite spacious and full of charm, with a large bed, and a daybed, and vintage-style decor. It would be perfect for 3 people. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything I needed to cook. My second day in Beziers, I explained to Jim and Steph my situation was to take this airbnb in order to have time to find an apartment to stay for the year. Stéphanie took time out of her day to show me around the town, to take me to the market to buy vegetables, and she even helped me find an apartment. I really would have been lost if not for the kindness I recieved from Jim, Steph, Charlotte, and Clarisse.
Brian2016-09-30T00:00:00ZTo begin with, my host offered to meet me at the station and give me a lift to the apartment which was extremely thoughtful of her. The place itself was all I could wish for - spacious, cosy and scrupulously clean. The bed was really comfortable, I was very warm thanks to 2 heaters and the internet connection never failed. I was also charmed by a small collection of vintage furniture at the ground floor. Knowing the city a little, I can say that the neighbourhood was safe enough. In short, a delightful experience I'd like to repeat some time. Thanks Stephanie!
Anna2016-11-11T00:00:00ZJim and Steph were great hosts, extremely welcoming and accommodating, even stocking the fridge for us with beer, water and juice and providing breakfast. So kind! The apartment is very stylish and well equipped. It's location is great, located right in the middle of bezier's old town. Would definitely recommend a stay. Thanks for a great stay.
Amy2016-09-06T00:00:00ZJim and Steph and wonderful! Their joy in hosting and pride in their town and region as well as their lovely studio is very easy to see. The studio is very well equipped, quite large actually, with a lovely bed, nice seating and a great style that makes you instantly relaxed. Steph showed us around the place and explained everything very well and included so many wonderful extras which was unexpected and very welcome since we arrived on a Sunday afternoon! Jim and her even collected us from the airport which we are very grateful for!
mark2016-09-08T00:00:00ZVery welcoming people and place. Would like to stay again and would like to recommen this cosy place. Well provided fridge for breakfast, absolutely nothing to complain about. Clean/cosy/verygood value for money place in the centre ville of Beziers. Thanks Jim and family!!!
franciscus2016-07-21T00:00:00ZI had a very good time here, everything as the house description. Stephanie and Jim were very friendly and helpful, they even picked me up from the train station. The house clean, tidy and have all the necessary. I totally recommend this place.

Pascal was an amazing host! He was super friendly and always making sure we were having a great time. We also arrived later than planned, but this was no problem at all. He allowed us to stay an extra night, because there was a thunderstorm predicted during our stay. The place was very cosy and clean, and the surroundings are also amazing!
remy2016-07-25T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
JeremySuper accueil de la part de Pascal et sa femme! Ils nous ont très bien conseillé sur les choses à voir dans les environs, les bons plans resto et autres! On reviendra avec plaisir!
Baptiste2016-09-10T00:00:00ZSuper accueil, hôte agréable, endroit magique Adresse à recommander Merci encore
Arnaud2016-07-18T00:00:00ZPascal et son épouse sont des gens formidables. Ils ont été très accueillant et nous avons adorer discuter avec eux. Nous sommes ravis de les avoir rencontrer. La petite maison est parfaite et tout à fait adapter à l'accueil de 4 personnes. Le meilleur atout de ce logement reste sa situation géographique et sa proximité avec le lac du Salagou.
ASMA2016-08-17T00:00:00ZSéjour très agréable dans un logement bien situé et au calme. Literie correcte, logement petit mais fonctionnel avec beaucoup de cachet. Nous avons été bien accueillis par Pascal qui nous a donné de bons conseils.
Evelyne2016-11-05T00:00:00ZPascal a vite réagi à mon mail de dernière minute et nous a très bien accueillis. Il a été souple sur les horaires. Il nous a donné le bon conseil d'aller randonner dans le cirque de Mourèze et nous avons adoré la vue qu'on peut y avoir sur le Lac du Salagou : sublime ! Pascal nous a donné du pain pour notre dîner car la boulangerie du village n'était ouverte que le matin ;-) !

Loïc 2016-11-18T00:00:00ZNous avons passé une nuit chez Paméla, très bien accueillies par son fils et leur chien qui est très gentil. Petit déjeuner au top le matin. Nous recommandons vivement.
Isabelle2016-11-30T00:00:00ZTout était absolument conforme à la description. Malgré une arrivée plus que cahotique et rock'roll, Pamela a été d'une compréhension et d'une patience inégalables

Avec le petit déjeuner de confitures faites maison délicieuses, il est impossible de relever du négatif dans ce séjour. De plus, Paméla nous a fourni des conseils et astuces pour nos visites du lendemain qui nous a permi de passer un excellent week-end. Merci encore pour votre hospitalité surprenante. Stéphanie et Thibault

ludovic2016-10-17T00:00:00ZPaméla est une femme qui vous accueille avec le sourire de façon simple, ce qui est agréable et qui met à l'aise quand il s'agit de partager la même maison, sa maison, qui est de fabrication très récente, confort moderne,(si vous aimez les maisons surchauffées, c'est un hébergement à éviter en hiver). Pensez à respecter les horaires, surtout celui du départ (j'ai dépassé 10h et d'après Paméla, je ne suis hélas pas la seule).

I stayed with Charlene for one night. The apartment is really spacious and the past for airbnb guests is spacious with it's own toilet and will soon have a seperate bathroom. Charlene was really friendly and welcoming and even took me out for the monthly wine party in town. It was a great stay, I would recommend. Je suis resté avec Charlene pour une nuit. L'appartement est très spacieuse et le passé pour Airbnb invités est spacieuse avec sa propre toilette et aura bientôt une salle de bain séparée . Charlene était très sympathique et accueillant et même m'a fait sortir pour la fête du vin mensuelle en ville . Il était un excellent séjour , je recommanderais .
Neil2016-09-21T00:00:00Zpros: Charlène is a very kind host. We passed a very pleasant evening with her and her friends. The apartment is large and all was as saw in pictures. cons: On the other side the apartment is decadent (scrabbed wall and ceiling, wc at limit of usability, you can smell the male cat everywhere in the house) and the city's zone is not so nice and difficult to access due to a falled down building in front of the host house. The prize is low so you cannot expect more then this.
Emiliano2016-09-10T00:00:00ZCharlene was an excellent host, showed me a nice place to eat, and helped translate menus for me, more than welcome to stay in England with me anytime, I cannot recommend highly enough:)
Adam2016-10-07T00:00:00ZWords cannot describe the warmth I feel for Charlene! She's so welcoming, instantly I felt comfortable and she's understands if someone needs some space or wants to chat away. She's just awesome, ideal for people who are laid back and also looking for someone engaging to stay with. Highly recommended, I'll be back for the festival next year ;)
Poppy2016-09-14T00:00:00ZWe had a short but really nice stay at Charlènes. The room is cosy and very close to the town centre and bus station, from where you can explore the surroundings. Charlènes appartement is spacious, and the room is in it's own little "wing", which makes it feel very private. We would totally recommend staying here. Thanks Cha!
Selva2016-10-15T00:00:00ZCharlène has an amazing apartment right in the heart of Béziers. She has been an amazing host during my stay taking me to a bar and letting me experience French raclette diners! If you really want to experience living in Béziers, you should stay with Charlène.
Geert2016-12-13T00:00:00ZCharlene was the most welcoming host. She was very attentive; allowing me quiz her about train times and directions. I had a section of the house to myself which was really nice. The bathroom is currently being refurbished but I was able to use Charlene's one. Kitchen and the lounge was available for me to use whenever I needed it. Really lovely place
Lan2016-10-13T00:00:00ZCharlene was friendly and welcoming. She let me put my bike in her cellar. The room is large and bright. She provides leaflets on things to do and kindly marked out places on a map for me. The bed is only a mattress on the floor, so was fine but not for anyone with a bad back etc.. (It shows this in the photos). The extra bathroom she advertises unfortunately wasn't useable (I think she's having it replaced) so I used her bathroom. The roadworks downstairs started at 6.20am on a Monday and were very loud, so it was hard to get more sleep, even with earplugs. Although this won't be a permanent problem, it looked like there was a lot more work to do.

Very nice, clean and cosy cabin with beautifull views and relaxing pool. Only spend a day there but wished we could have stayed longer. Nice hosts!
Kim2016-09-25T00:00:00ZWe stayed a few days around New Year's Eve and had a great time. The cabin is really nice and cosy and comfortable, perfect for 2 persons. We had to use the stove to heat the cabin since it was winter which made it very charming. We had lunch on the big terrace in the sun. You really feel in the middle of the mountain though it is actually at the border of the cute village Pegairolles. Summer must be great also with the swimming pool and the beautiful bathing spots in the river nearby. Caro and Pierre were amazing hosts, they live just a few meters (the house cannot be seen from the cabin though) and were very cary. They even invited us to celebrate New Year's Eve and do a small hike to the Escalette the day after with their friends. We highly recommend this place!
Christopher2016-10-29T00:00:00ZSuper bien accueilli dans cette magnifique cabane en bois. Les photos sont fidèles à l attente !! Calme et nature, piscine super agréable,terrasse immense et bien équipéevavec une belle vue, nos hôtes étaient à l écoute et présent si besoin. On a adoré !

Laurence2016-10-30T00:00:00ZHele leuke en aardige mensen die ons welcome heten met een flesje wijn ( gemaakt in Pegarolles ) en een lief kaartje. Voor de avond werd er nog wat brand hout gebracht, want werd al een beetje fris. Mooie omgeving en heerlijk rustig. Echt een plek om vakantie te vieren met een mooi terras om te bqq. Alleen slapen word een beetje een probleem als je op je privacy bent gesteld. Zit alleen een gordijn tussen het bed en sofa. Als je met 2 stelletjes ben!!Alles is nieuw en ziet er schoon en fris uit. Bedankt Caro en Pierre.

Very welcoming, great communication from Kiet, such a wonderful setting. It was such a great experience to stay in the Yurt and get away from the hustle and bustle. Lovely wine regions and little villages nearby. The chestnut festival on at the time was a nice touch. Would highly recommend it for anyone!
carley2016-11-04T00:00:00ZWe stayed in this yurt from 19-23 October 2016 The yurt; it's just as Kiet described it and It looks just like the pictures. Cozy and minimal. Is's beautiful. We stayed in October so it was kind of freezing. We burned the wood stove ( he reached us how to make a fire so that we could use it since we never used it) and got extra blankets. No wifi, but yes electricity. We could charge our phones for emergencies. I would definitely recommend it, but for myself; I would go earlier, because I'm always freezing. But you get a whole barrel of wood and you can buy extra, you can get extra blankets. You get a big can of fresh spring water which you can get yourselfs ( I really liked this; FRESH spring water!) The surrounding; IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL! It hurt my heart to leave. So, SO beautiful! There is a town on a 15 minute drive and a water-spring in the neighborhood so you can get your own fresh water! There are amazing walks and little towns ( note; Please do some research for your own - we did not know the French only serve lunch between like 12-13. If you wanted to lunch at 14 o clock you had a bad time. Or if you just wanted to drink coffee at 12. They told us to leave. ( this is about restaurants and cafe's - not Kiet, just clarifying) My recommendations; * if you are in for a road trip, and a city; go to Montpellier * if you are in for good (vegan) food and coffee in Montpellier; (URL HIDDEN) We also found an amazing pizza-place but I forgot the name, I will update if I can remember The renter; Great english and super attentive! AND he has the cutest two dogs! And a beautiful cat. Do you love nature, if you love 'camping', if you love going back to basics; Seriously; GO HERE!
Frederike2016-11-03T00:00:00ZWe had a great time in the Yurt. The pictures give a truly view. The place is beautiful, the views are stunning and the yurt is in real life even more spacious than the pictures tell. Kiet is the most friendly and welcoming host. We were prepared to really go back to basics. Brought our own camping gaz, easy meals, things who could stay outside the fridge, candles. But we were really suprised. The yurt is quite equipped!
Anja2016-10-14T00:00:00ZWow. What a fantastic place to stay right in the middle of some unbelievable scenery. There was plenty to do nearby as well, nice restaurants, excellent hiking and canoeing. Kiet and Sandra were superb hosts, very welcoming and even gave us breakfast for the following morning after we arrived late on our first night. Thanks a lot....Lucy really enjoyed the surprise!!
Phil2016-06-05T00:00:00ZA special place for our first holiday! A magical place that brought us closer together and more I love than before. Nestled amongst the rugged and beautiful hills of the Languedoc National Park, just beyond St Chinian, my partner and I spent part of our first holiday together in the yurt. The simplicity was captivating; bathing in nothing but rain water that had been stored over the past weeks, watching (enchanted by) the view for entertainment was an evening pleasure and exploring local attractions by day was perfect. A holiday neither of us will forget! Merci Kiet xx
Lauren2016-06-12T00:00:00ZThe yurt was everything we could have hoped for. The absence of any modern conveniences meant that we could just "be". Our whole family had a fantastic time and the kids definitely want to come back. Nearly every day, we went for a swim in the river or the gorges near by. Nature has never felt closer. Thank you Kiet and Sandra for showing us a different way of life. It is truly wonderful!
Monika2016-09-06T00:00:00Zout-of-the-ordinary way to spend a couple of tranquil days in the middle of stunning and wild nature. the yurte plus surrounding yard is a beautiful, spacious and well-equipped yet simple and down-to-earth place to stay. dao and his family were always close by and approachable yet kept to themselves and didn't intrude our privacy. recommendation for experiencing the raw beauty of southern france off the beaten track!
Doris2015-04-16T00:00:00ZWhat an unforgettable experience... I stayed at the yurt with my girlfriend for a few nights and we fell in love with the place. The region and immediate surroundings are absolutely stunning and more relaxing than we could have ever imagined. It was a real privilege to stay in such a unique location spending hours just admiring the views. The yurt provided all the comfort we needed and was the most charming place we'd ever stayed in. We left rejuvenated, inspired and were rightly reminded of the importance of simple things. I hope and am sure we will someday return. Kiet and Sandra have built a very special place here and all the hard work and love that went into creating it really shines through. Go, you won't regret it.

Fabienne and her husband are incredibly sweet and welcoming. The stay far surpassed our expectations with the lovely room and garden, and helpful advice regarding nearby points of interest and places to eat. They lent us kitchen utensils to picnic in their garden by the pool--which they insisted we enjoy. Thank you so much for the lovely stay!
Magdalene2016-09-04T00:00:00ZFabienne & Jean-Michel welcomed me really friendly! They are super kind people and it was a pleasure to stay with them! The studio is amazing! You have a lot of privacy, your own badroom and the possibility to make a coffee or tea. I was aloud to put my motorbike in the garage and they gave me some nice tips where I could go the next day. The village Saint-Felix-de-Lodez is small and peaceful, the area is beautiful and full of wine-fields. It was absolutely a pleasure to stay at their studio!
Niels2016-05-26T00:00:00ZExcellent séjour dans une chambre agréable et reposante au milieu de mon week-end préparatifs de mariage ! Lieu ressource que je recommande vivement ! MERCI !

We had a wonderful 2 weeks' stay at Anjna´s and Michel´s place. The house is just beautiful and very tastefully arranged. We enjoyed the garden with orange and banana tries, the pool, the large shared reception and dining room. Montagnac is an authentic small city providing all you need: restaurants, market, bakeries, and it is very well located between the see and the mountains. Last but not least Anjna and Michel are lovely hosts and extremely helpful. We (small family with a toddler) definitely will come again.
Sirku2015-09-12T00:00:00ZOur best airbnb stay ever! Very charming and relaxing space, wonderful hosts, definitely recommend and want to go back.
Yuliya2016-07-14T00:00:00ZAnjna and Michel were wonderful hosts even providing emergency meal provisions as we arrived on a public holiday. The apartment is beautiful, exactly as described, and the garden a wonderful retreat. It's also in a great position to enjoy the Languedoc region and its wines. Thank you Anjina and Michel!
Maureen2016-05-24T00:00:00ZAnjna and Michel's medieval house was perfect for two families with children, well equipped and gorgeously renovated. We and our kids enjoyed the beautiful garden area, indoor pool, ping ping and foosball tables and large dining hall. The village was also a nice size with all the needed amenities - grocery store, pharmacy, bakery and cafes, but also conveniently close to Pezenas and the Mediteranean. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, bread and fresh fruit. We would love to return!
Trang2016-07-11T00:00:00Zwe had a great time Anjna & Michel's place, the apartment had everything we needed and we really enjoyed the pool and beautiful courtyard. Anjna & Michel were very friendly and welcoming, despite our late arrival. We would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing and luxurious stay.
Estella2016-06-30T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay! The house is even more beautiful and magical in person, than in the pictures! Michel really went out of his way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Would highly recommend!
Rabbi2016-03-06T00:00:00ZAnjna and Michel could not have been more welcoming or friendly. They made our stay in Montagnac very special. From the welcome "kit" in the apartment (milk, butter, bread, wine, etc.). to advice on the area, etc., they were helpful (but not obtrusive). The flat was wonderful - very large and comfortable with all of the modern conveniences within a 16th century house that gave a real flavor of the area. it was spotlessly clean when we arrived. It was well located within walking distance to all of the shops. We could not have asked for a better stay or hosts! We would recommend this flat without reservation to anyone. If we could give this flat more than 5 starts we would! Joan and Russell
Russell2016-02-22T00:00:00ZAnjna and Michel were most welcoming and delightful hosts for our two-week stay. They are very charming and were most solicitous about our comfort and well-being, anticipating our needs and meeting them (providing an electric fan for the really warm weather or a small table on the balcony where we could have breakfast or sit late in the evening). The apartment is beautifully appointed and the house is absolutely wonderful - full of space and fascinating features. For me the star of the show was the shared swimming pool in the basement adjoining the garden. They helped us with information about the village and Montagnac proved to be full of delightful surprises - a charming tree-lined esplanade, all the relevant shops and conveniences, and a couple of very good restaurants. We felt more like family guests than visitors.

SarahSuch a stunning new bungalow with great amenities. Beautiful views across the rugged mountains with olive trees growing everywhere. A bit hard to locate the house, but we were greeted by Odile an Antoine's daughter who directed us. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Kaye
Kaye2016-09-27T00:00:00ZFantastic value - the bungalow is new and really well equipped, especially the kitchen. Lovely hosts. Nice views and good location for some great hikes (e.g. St Guilhem le Desert). The only issue is the lack of heating in the bathroom (the outside temperature dropped down to minus 5 when we stayed!).
Ute2017-01-08T00:00:00ZGenial, Super clean, host very nice. Nothing to say except positive comment.
Ludo2016-10-18T00:00:00ZLogement idéal pour une petite famille (2 adultes et 2 enfants en bas age). Le logement est situé sur le terrain de la maison des propriétaires. On y gare la voiture juste à coté du studio (pratique pour décharger!). Le logement à tous le confort (juste manque un micro ondes pour rechauffer les plats). Pour la période d'hivers il y a juste un chauffage dans la pièce de vie (SDB et chambre non équipés). La SDB ne dispose pas de VML donc vite dans l'humidité (petite odeur). Petit bémol concernant les linges de maison (draps et serviettes) pas disponible à notre arrivée suite à un week end mouvementé pour les propriétaires (Mariage). Pour finir un logement situé dans une zone très calme
Samuel2016-11-03T00:00:00ZSuper appart et accueil très chaleureux. Appartement tout neuf très confort et super bien situé pour visiter le coin. Les propriétaires sont très accessible pour tout renseignement sur la région ( resto, site à visiter...) Fortement recommandé

Javier2017-01-07T00:00:00ZChantal was wonderful, both welcoming and helpful. The property is lovely, comfortable and easy for us to find. It was far more spacious than i expected and well equipped. Everything worked as it should and it is a very convenient location. Perfect for enjoying eating outside.
Jane 2015-10-18T00:00:00ZAn exceptionally kind and generous host. The cottage had everything that we needed and more. Incredible value. Thank you Chantal
Adrian and Jenny2016-02-26T00:00:00ZThis place was perfect for our overnight stay. Very clean and well-equipped.
Tracey2016-08-23T00:00:00ZChantal couldnt have been more helpful, we arranged an arrival time but were running late, quick text and all sorted. The accommodation is very spacious with 2 proper bedrooms and loads of outside space. Private parking and terraces and gardens. We had a great few days.
Andy2016-07-12T00:00:00ZWe were made extremely welcome on arrival and found the house really nice. Everything was lovely and clean. Although the house has old traditional charm outside, and retains lots of character it has modern refurbishments. The only drawback being that we didn't stay longer to enjoy it more.
John2016-10-24T00:00:00ZHerve, Chantal's husband, was very nice and helpful, and the hosts were easy to reach. The house is large, air conditioned and has good wifi. However, the comfortable looking couch in the living room has been replaced with a futon couch (not so great for sitting in), the mattresses and bedding are of the lowest quality from Ikea or someplace similar (but the mattresses are not lumpy), the foosball table is now in a stuffy and dusty garage, the house is divided so that someone else is living in the other half, the neighborhood appears to be going down hill and is quite unfriendly albeit did not feel unsafe when we went for a walk, half of the garden is locked and the other half is so close to the railroads so that when some of the trains go by it feels quite shocking. Also, there are no beach towels, or any beach gear so expect to bring your own or stay in a place that provides them if you can't. We spend two and a half weeks in France staying at four different airbnb places, and this was the only place where we were not greeted with a bottle of wine, some cheese or something similar, so perhaps we were spoiled. In any case, had we known that Beziers was the hot bed of Le Pen and "France for the French" sentiment, we would have skipped this area. That said, if you are looking for a large place that is well air conditioned, has good wifi and 20 min for a good beach (Valras - the others are very commercial but Valras is all about the beach), then this place is a good value).
Laura2016-07-17T00:00:00ZSpacious house with a nice terrace and a garden, fully equipped and clean. There is even table soccer that gave us quite a few moments of total excitement :) Chantal and her husband were very nice despite our late arrival, they showed us the house, recommended some places to visit and even saw us off to a lovely fish restaurant. Overall we had short but a pleasant stay. Thank you Chantal!

Håkon2016-03-18T00:00:00ZChristophe and Michelle were pleasant hosts, friendly, laid back and informative and the house and room in the attic had a lot of character, with goats and chickens in the back garden to meet and hear funny stories about. Don't worry about ringing the front door when you arrive though, as their dog will alert everyone to your presence!
Paul2016-11-09T00:00:00ZA house with lots of character, yes, I was very comfortable at Michele and Christophe. Michele is a lovely woman and guide you with everything you need.
Eva2016-06-23T00:00:00ZExcellent mountain retreat in the beautiful village of Colombières. Lots of accessible hiking within 2 minutes walk.

Thanks guys.
Joel2016-07-26T00:00:00ZWhen I arrived I was welcomed by Christophe , Michelle and their two lovely dogs. The room under the roof is very cosy for sleeping. the sourrounding is beautiful and from the street next to the house it is very easy to autostop to the other villages along the road. in the short time i stayed i had nice and funny chats with Christoph and Michele. They are easy going people. Thank you! It was nice to meet you!

Jim and Monica made our whole trip, they are both very special people and have created a truly magical space. The yurt exceeded our expectations and was perfect for the quiet getaway we wanted. A few of our favorite parts were drinking coffee on the hammock, the small creek under the trees, the butterflies, the bountiful garden and the adorable shower. Thank you for inspiring us and hope to see you again soon :-)
emma2016-08-03T00:00:00ZOur 6-night stay at Jim & Monika's small yurt (located on a vast, lush river-side property) was different from any other of our varied AirBnB experiences. Perhaps best described as "spiritually grounding," thanks most to the peaceful and kind energy of our hosts, complemented by the ecosystem they have created through the decade past. The original purpose of our visit was for me to explore the healing properties of the nearby (and infamous) Avène thermal waters and therapy centre, to help manage my 20-year autoimmune condition (psioratic arthritis). A short, picturesque drive away (37 minutes, to be exact - useful to have a GPS device), the healing was evidently deep thanks equally to my time spent in the Avène centre (~ 3 hours per day), supplemented with our time at Jim & Monika's peaceful property. I was accompanied by my teen-age son, whom benefited greatly from time spent closer (much closer) to nature; happy-to-say, lots of father-son bonding. We look forward to our next visit, where we will rent both the small and big yurts, to make it a family experience (with my wife and 2 daughters joining also). Thank you, Jim, Monika.. Namaste.
Emiliano & Jennifer2016-08-01T00:00:00ZOur stay in the small yurt was fantastic. It was a very special experience to have the feeling to live in the trees, a kind of magical moment. We enjoy also very much to meet monika and james who give the feeling to be completely in harmony with the place they propose to their guests. They are very generous and have the best tomatoes on this earth. We've liked to look at the stars, to wait for the falling stars and slow down our life's rhythm during few days. Dear monika, dear james, many thanks again for everything!
Ketty2016-08-11T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing time in Graissessac. We stayed 2 nights at the small yurt, surrounded by peace and nature, and also shared a really good time with James & Monika. Can't wait to repeat! :)
cristina2016-09-15T00:00:00ZUn séjour enchanté en pleine nature, sous une yourte chaleureuse et spacieuse... Le chant du ruisseau en contrebas, le calme et la sérénité du lieu, nous ont bercé ! Un havre de paix pour se reposer...
Rémi2016-08-20T00:00:00ZCe séjour en pleine nature était formidable ; une sérénité et une beauté des paysages propres à réjouir tous les coeurs ! Les hôtes nous ont fait merveilleuse impression, sachant de plus allier disponibilité et discrétion. C'est très certainement un lieu où nous reviendrons !
Charlène2016-09-13T00:00:00ZExpérience extraordinaire, dépaysement total dans un petit écrin de verdure. Génial pour un petit weekend en amoureux, nous reviendrons avec plaisir !!!
lisa2016-08-22T00:00:00ZSi vous recherchez un endroit ou vous vous sentez isolés, avec l'essentiel, la nature environnante, et qui accepte avec bonté les chiens, vous serez conquis ! Monika et James sont des hôtes accueillants, discrets et intéressants. Nous avons séjourné une nuit dans la petite yourte qui a tout le nécéssaire : chauffage si besoin, électricité, une bonne literie,... Il ne manque rien ! La yourte est l'endroit idéal pour les amoureux de la nature et des randonnées. Nous avons marchés plus de quatre heure et nous n'avons croisés personne. Le rêve ! Johan & Gaëlle

It's become quite a problem for me in the game recently. 95% of the games I play, I'm either being forced to spawn camp with my team or get no kills or being spawn camped. It's making me lose interest in the game and respect for the bf community in general, they play the game not to play the game but to be the biggest ass hat they can. This however is not a bitch thread this is me making a suggestion. If a team cannot capture any objectives within a certain amount of time I believe the main spawn should be reversed or moved to a different location that the enemy won't be alerted to just so the spawn camped team can get their foot in the door and maybe build some ground. To many of the game I play just become boring and monotonous because of this garbage and I think this would help. I personally don't see the point in spawn camping, ya you win but damn how boring that crap gets.
If you're losing all the points and your team dies, game, set, and match for you... That's how it used to be on 1942 and 2.
True. The way conquest works will never change. You can always fight off a spawn rape as long as your team rallies together and don't run around like a bunch of headless Taliban-chicken.
One of the most interesting and frustrating moments is to (try to) break a spawn camp in Operation Metro. Sometimes you win; sometimes you don't. Only when you act with some coordenation you can escape. We could say Israel spawn camped in the war of seven days. And they won. It's part of the (war) game.
Yeah, obviously but it'll take rejoining a match 15 times some times before you find a match were you team isn't being decimated or spawn camped.
It does seem very difficult to get into a good match these days. They most often are very one sided, which is boring even when on the winning side. BC2 seemed to have better matchmaking.
Play Conquest Dom, less spawn camping. Also, join only 200% or 300% less spawn camping because the game doesn't last as long. If you join and spawn camping is happening, either leave or wait till the game ends that way you get a fair shake.
Ghost Recon: FS employed something like this. If the attacking team started getting spawn camped, the game would set a secondary spawn point like half way from the original spawn point to the objective. It would be cool if BF could employ something like that.
You're thinking too hard. If you spawn camp, which means that you're shooting and killing players within a specified (yes unidentified safety zone that the opposing team couldn't see but could get a good understanding of) area, then you get killed on your team. If you're sitting there picking off players and not killing them however, the way I'd go about this one is that you lose just as much damage as you deal, if not more. This also comes down to admins regulating the servers more strictly or enabling some sort of option. I think they had it in BF2 structured like this.


text:
Due to a variety of factors, United States men's national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann has had to dig deep into the ranks of Europe-based US national team players or potential players. Major League Soccer's odd and controversial schedule meant that they don't honor FIFA international breaks for friendly matches, and therefore are unlikely to release key players during such a crucial point in the season. Klinsmann has had his say on this matter, but in effect his hands are tied and he has taken the opportunity to call up many lesser known youngsters based in Europe. It's unfortunate that the USMNT can't start the next World Cup cycle without key players like captain Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley, and Graham Zusi. But guys like Dempsey are likely to retire before Russia 2018, though they may be involved in early qualifying. Klinsmann has made his opinion on players choosing Major League Soccer over European clubs well known. If he stands by the idea that those Euro-based players have more potential than MLS-ers, he'll see this as an opportunity to prove his beliefs.
But this isn't a story about the virtues of MLS over Europe or vice versa, but rather who the players are that Klinsmann called up for the September 3rd friendly against the Czech Republic. The number of key players in Europe has dwindled over the past year or so, but there are still a number of experienced internationals in the mix.
Cody Cropper (Southampton) Caps: 0 Age: 21
One of the most talked about uncapped players, Cropper recently inked a new deal for Premier League side Southampton. England goalkeeping coach Dave Watson sees extreme potential in Minnesota-born Cropper. He'll have a hard time displacing obvious starter Guzan for the USMNT setup, but it's not a stretch to imagine him as the established backup within the next couple years.
Brad Guzan (Aston Villa) Caps: 25 Age: 29
The latest in a string of American goalkeepers starring in the Premier League, Guzan has played second fiddle to Tim Howard for years and will finally claim his starting spot in Howard's absence. The Villa man often takes the blame for the club's leaky defense, but many see him as one of the best in England. He may be benched against the Czech Republic, but we'll definitely see him between the sticks come qualifying time.
Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake) Caps: 14 Age: 35
Having recently broken the MLS record for most shutouts in history, Rimando's time with the USMNT is short compared to his age. Had he broken into the setup earlier, Rimando could have been a regular for years. The USMNT has never been short of goalkeepers, and the Real Salt Lake man is but the latest casualty of that abundance.
John Brooks (Hertha Berlin) Caps: 5 Goals: 1 Age: 21
Few, if any, USMNT fans will be unaware of John Brooks. The young German-American scored probably the greatest goal of his career against Ghana in Brazil this past summer. The defender's inclusion was questioned by some, and even his appearance at half time for the injured Matt Besler led to moans from pundits and fans around the country. But his headed goal and memorable celebration will live on in the memories of fans for a very long time.
Timmy Chandler (Eintracht Frankfurt) Caps: 13 Age: 24
It's hard to believe Chandler only has 13 caps, as it seems like he's been a USMNT mainstay for years. Another of Klinsmann's German-American contingent, Chandler's last appearance before the World Cup was against Honduras in February 2013. Injuries kept the player from featuring for his club, and therefore kept him from the USMNT. After only a few appearances for Nurnberg last season when the club was relegated, Chandler moved to Frankfurt for the 2014-2105 season.
Greg Garza (Club Tijuana) Caps: 0 Age: 23
One of just a few players in this squad not based in Europe, Garza is one of the newbies to the senior national team setup. After a promising youth career that culminated in a two-year stay at Sporting CP in Portugal, Garza signed his first professional contract with Estoril Praia in Lisbon. But the fullback failed to break into the squad, and signed with Mexican club Tijuana in 2011. His 39 appearances and two goals for the club are what caught the eye of Klinsmann and his staff, and the Grapevine, TX, native could earn his first cap this week.
Fabian Johnson (Borussia Mönchengladbach) Caps: 28 Goals: 1 Age: 26
As one of the most-capped German-Americans of the Klinsmann era, Johnson's speed and skill on the ball have been important components of the USMNT's tactical setup since his inclusion. Able to play as a fullback or winger, Johnson's combination down the right wing with DeAndre Yedlin during the World Cup was one of the USMNT's most potent weapons. Johnson recently moved to Borussia Monchengladbach, and is likely to be a USMNT mainstay for this cycle.
Michael Orozco Fiscal (Puebla) Caps: 11 Goals: 3 Age: 28
Orozco Fiscal, the Orange, California native, spent much of his career at Mexico club San Luis, having loan spells at Philadelphia Union and current club Puebla. In 2013 he moved to Chiapas, from which he was then sent back to Puebla on loan. Orozco Fiscal had his first USMNT cap in 2008, but had to wait until 2011 for his next appearance. USMNT fans are likely to remember the defender's finest moment for the national team to date, when he scored the winner in a friendly against Mexico at the Azteca – the USMNT's only victory against Mexico away.
Tim Ream (Bolton) Caps: 8 Age: 26
St. Louis native Ream played college soccer at St. Louis University before being drafted by the New York Red Bulls in the MLS SuperDraft in 2010. After spending the offseason training with Bolton Wanderers, Ream was purchased by the club in January 2012. Ream couldn't prevent the club from being relegated to the Championship, where the club currently sits. Ream hasn't made an appearance for the USMNT since 2011, and will be hoping to rejoin the fold for the new cycle.
Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes) Caps: 32 Goals: 1 Age: 27
One of the few USMNT veterans still playing in Europe, the New Jersey native's career has taken him to Sweden, Scotland and currently to France, where he joined Nantes in 2013. His performances in Ligue 1 have kept him in the USMNT mix, playing in all four of the nation's World Cup matches. His international and club appearance should cement his place in the team during 2018 World Cup qualifying at the very least.
Joe Corona (Club Tijuana) Caps: 11 Goals: 2 Age: 24
Corona, once a bright young talent whose international allegiance was once fought over, has fallen down the pecking order at Club Tijuana and therefore has been out of the USMNT conversation for some time. He made a single appearance for Mexico's U22 team before playing in the USA U23 squad and later being officially cap-tied to the USMNT in a World Cup Qualifier in 2012. Corona's talent is still evident, and he'll be hoping to prove himself to Klinsmann yet again.
Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg) Caps: 20 Goals: 3 Age: 23
Diskerud's USMNT career has had its ups and downs, and sometimes it seems that Klinsmann doesn't exactly know how he feels about the player. Diskerud was born in Oslo and grew up there, his connection to the USA being his Arizona-born mother. The midfielder, who has played his entire club career – bar a short loan to Belgium – in Norway's Tippeligaen, played for both US and Norway youth national teams before committing to the USMNT senior squad in 2010. He was in the 2014 World Cup squad, but did not appear in any matches. At just 23, Diskerud brings ample international experience to the table. His club career and international performance in the next couple years could decide whether or not he becomes a long-term part of the squad.
Julian Green (Hamburg) Caps: 3 Goals: 1 Age: 19
Another name that USMNT fans are likely to know quite well, despite his age and few appearances. Green, who is owned by German juggernaut Bayern Munich but is currently on loan at Hamburg, was all over international soccer news when Klinsmann finally secured him for the USMNT in early 2014. Green was controversially included in Klinsmann's final World Cup squad, over experienced players like Landon Donovan. The point was settled, however, when Green scored a spectacular volley in extra time in the USMNT's round of 16 match against Belgium. The Yanks went on to lose the match, but most American fans were now sold on the German-American youngster. Green will hopefully be getting first-team experience in the Bundesliga during his Hamburg loan, and US fans will be holding their breath in coming seasons in the hope that Green can break into one of the best clubs in the world.
Alfredo Morales (Ingolstadt) Caps: 1 Age: 24
Berlin-born Morales, a German-American whose youth and early professional career began with Hertha Berlin, currently plies his trade in Germany's second division with Ingolstadt. The midfielder played in various US soccer youth team setups, and made his first senior appearance in a friendly in 2013. Morales has not actually been cap-tied for the USMNT, and his Peruvian heritage has also caused the Peru national team to court him as well. This call-up, while still not cap-tying, could help seal the deal for both the player and coaches if all goes well.
Brek Shea (Stoke City) Caps: 26 Goals: 2 Age: 24
Another player whose promising talent was destroyed by a move to Europe, the Texas-born Shea was a star for MLS side FC Dallas until he was purchased by Premier League side Stoke City in 2013. A quick and skillful winger, Shea's career was derailed at Stoke City by injuries and poor management, and a loan to Barnsley was cut short after Shea responded poorly to angry supporters. Shea's international career started well, and after a long stretch of no call-ups he was brought into the 2013 Gold Cup squad. Despite having what seemed like an international career rejuvenation at the Gold Cup, Shea was cut from Klinsmann's 30-man World Cup roster in 2014. Shea will hope to impress Klinsmann both at club level and in any matches he can get for the USMNT.
Emerson Hyndman (Fulham) Caps: 0 Age: 18
One of the most talked-about youngsters in the US soccer system right now, Hyndman has already impressed after making a handful of first team appearances for recently relegated English Championship side Fulham. Seen by many American soccer experts as a huge talent for the future, the Texas-born midfielder has an eye for passing and is quite tidy in central midfield. Being a key player in Fulham's hopeful promotion could be huge for the young man's career, and Klinsmann will no doubt be watching with great interest.
Jozy Altidore (Sunderland) Caps: 71 Goals: 23 Age: 24
It's hard to believe that Jozy Altidore is just 24 years old. 23 goals in 71 appearances for the USMNT before 25 is an incredible feat, but Altidore's recent form and health has some suggesting that he's already peaked. Altidore became the youngest American to ever score a hat-trick in international play in 2009, and he's had an impressive run for the national team since. One of the forward's biggest problems is consistency, since leaving the New York Red Bulls in 2008 for Spanish side Villareal, Altidore has bounced from club to club all over Europe. His greatest run was with Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, where his goalscoring was marveled at throughout Europe. This led to a transfer to English club Sunderland, where Altidore has failed to score more than a single goal since his transfer in summer 2013. Named captain for the Czech Republic friendly, Altidore will be wanting to prove his critics wrong both at home and abroad.
Joe Gyau (Borussia Dortmund II) Caps: 0 Age: 21
Florida-born Gyau will be hoping to make his first appearance for the USMNT this week, having played in nearly all US youth teams. Gyau started his professional career at Hoffenheim, but a recent transfer to Borussia Dortmund has caught the eye of Klinsmann. Gyau will be playing in Dortmund's second team this season, and hopefully a successful appearance there will lead to a chance at the senior squad soon. Top level experience could make Gyau a star for the USMNT down the road.
Jordan Morris (Stanford) Caps: 0 Age: 19
College players are rarely called up to full national teams, but Klinsmann sees huge potential in Morris and may give him playing time against the Czechs. The Washington State-born forward was a part of the Seattle Sounders academy setup, and may make his way back there after completing his education. Morris is in the Clint Dempsey mould, and he made the all-Pac-12 team and led in assists among freshmen in the conference. Klinsmann may have him with the squad simply to get experience and learn from veterans, but we may end up seeing him on the pitch.
Rubio Rubin (Utrecht) Caps: 0 Age: 18
Another Pacific Northwest native, Rubin came up through the Portland Timbers setup before being signed by Dutch side Utrecht. It seems that the forward could well be a starter for his club this season, and he'll have ample chances to prove himself to his club coaches as well as Klinsmann.
Bobby Wood (1860 Munich) Caps: 1 Age: 21
Wood, born in Honolulu, moved to Munich 2007 to join Bundesliga side 1860 Munich. The striker was called up before, making a friendly appearance for the USMNT in 2013. His record for 1860 Munich isn't the best for a striker, and he'll need to up his club game if he hopes to continue to be in contention for the USMNT. Klinsmann sees potential in him, but time will tell if the player lives up to it.
