Investigation & Research Education Resource
Sheri has always had an interest in the paranormal – from watching different paranormal shows over the years to having déjà-vu experiences throughout all her life that she has tried to put an explanation to. When her dad passed away in March 2010 she began her journey into the paranormal. She has had several encounters over the years since starting in the field & takes more of an "old school" approach to her research in the paranormal. She is a supporter of today's modern technology being used on investigations & encourages the use of various tools on investigations. She is always looking for a new 'old school' method to try on investigations & employs the use of trigger objects in an effort to get a response. She became fascinated with the pendulum after using a set of original jailer's keys as a trigger object on an investigation at a local historic jail & they began to sway in response to questions. She is a huge proponent of education in the paranormal field choosing to debunk things immediately by trying to recreate situations & experiment to find logical answers to things that have happened or been captured in photographs or on video in an effort to prove or disprove paranormal activity. She & her team focus on private residential cases as well as educating the public on paranormal investigation & research. You will often find them assisting & consulting with other teams on their cases. Sheri is a certified paralegal and Notary Public for the State of Texas. Her professional background includes working in the legal field, sports marketing, event coordination & business management. She serves as Assistant Executive Director of NPS and the Department Chair overseeing Photography and the NPS Photography Team. Sheri leads the Investigation & Research Education Resources for NPS which provides information, links, & articles surrounding education in the paranormal field. She also writes articles periodically for the NPS' website that are tied to photography & education. She is one of the founders of NPS of Texas, a paranormal research & investigative team based out of Dallas, Texas.

Hey everyone! My name is Bethany Schelling. I'm a mother of a beautiful 11 year old daughter. I am also a waitress/bartender and studying cosmetology. I love in a small town in Pennsylvania surrounded by friends and family. I have always been interested in the paranormal since I was a child. I asked everyone a ton of questions and never really got the answers I was looking for. After my first couple of unexplained incidents, I started looking for serious answers. Belief isn't enough for me. I want evidence that can stand for itself. I come from a logical point of view and believe science is going to help answer the questions we have. I want to continue to learn and help anyway I can.

I am a supervisor for several programs assisting individuals with intellectual and mental challenges. I have 2 Masters Degrees from Penn State in Communication Disorders and Psychology. My first experiences with the paranormal were around age 5. I've been fascinated ever since. I have been an investigator for over 10 years (first 5 years with a team, then leaving to form my own more than 5 years ago, and have taught classes on investigation, evidence analysis (especially EVP) and debunking at local community college. I also have abilities, some of which began at age 5 and others around puberty. Therefore my fields of major interest are investigation and psychic and empath. While I am open to considering all aspect and viewpoints, I am dedicated to seeking natural explanations first before anything is considered evidence.

Hello my name is Sara Fawley. I was born and raised in San Diego, Ca Oct 1965. I lived there until I was 19, then moved with my now ex-husband to Texas where I lived for the next 25 years. I have two grown sons who are married and have lives and families of their own. My current husband and I now live in a small town in Arkansas with our dachshund Shabar. I owned and antiques and collectibles shop but closed it down in September 2013 after having a heart attack. I still buy and sell antiques and collectibles and make handmade natural gemstone jewelry which we sell at shows and festivals. I don't recall ever not knowing that there was more than just us out there. My first experience happened when I was a young child and was visited by my godfather "Grandpa Clyde" at the time of his death and for three weeks after that. I have seen one other full bodied apparition in my life and had several other minor experiences that left me scratching my head.I am not an investigator but have a huge thirst for knowledge. I am always looking up this or that legend, myth or story I hear or sometimes I just have random thoughts and look them up to see if anyone else thinks the same way. I am very analytically minded and always like to get to the bottom of things.

Hello all!! My name is Stephanie Kelly and I live in Kansas, USA with my husband and 3 sons. I have been interested in the paranormal as far back as I can recall. I grew up in a very open minded family were the thought of spirits and the power of nature in general was a normal and acceptable conversation. I don't have one particular area of focus, I am interested in the Paranormal Field as a whole and all of the unexplained areas science hasn't found a cause for.

Hi, I'm Allan (Al) Schmidt. I'm 52 living in Colorado. I've been married for 27 years. I Retired form the Air Force in 2001 and have been working for the Government in Boulder ever since. I have many hobbies, mostly outdoor, hiking, camping hunting, fishing etc. The main thing that ties them all together is Photography. I've been into the paranormal basically all my life, as my late father was into basically everything paranormal, although he didn't really refer to it as paranormal. Bigfoot, Nessi, UFO's, Little People. He had books on all subjects which I read with a passion. I have been investigating for over 10 years now regularly, and have been all over the country doing so. Locally, have investigated many locations, both with others teams and as I like to do most of the time, by myself or with my wife. I'm very logical in my undertakings, and very skeptical by nature. If I have exhausted all resources and ideas as to how to debunk something, only then will I call it interesting and possibly paranormal. I have not really had any wow moments to speak of, but have had some interesting things happen, enough so to make me more curious.

I grew up in an area of Pennsylvania where there was an practice called "Pow Wow Medicine". This is a type Root Medicine and Conjuring that is used by the Pennsylvania Dutch. It is a combination of Eastern European folk Christianity and superstition, ceremonial magic, Cabbalistic influence, Judeo-Christian folklore. And depending on what part of the Appalachian Trail you are from, shamanic practices, Native teachings and Hoodoo practices derived from the beliefs of Africans brought to the U.S. during the time of slavery. The word Pow Wow is early 17th century: from Narragansett powáw 'magician' (literally 'he dreams').. The proper name is Speilwork or Braucherei. Adepts are called Braucher, Hexenmeisters, or just Hexens.
it is Norse/Teutonic Pagan Folk Medicine. This calls upon the Old Germanic God's for healing. This is the Folk Medicine that Pow Wow Medicine is derived from.
I also perform Spirit Repair.
I practice Hexerei. Hexerei is a form of this Sympathetic Sorcery. This is not "Polite" Sorcery. I also Craft Runes and wands , upon request.
As of July 2007, I am a Certified Reiki Master.
I do Readings of Tarot Cards, Runes and Bones. Pa. Law states that I have to say these are entertainment purposes.
I am also an Ordained Minister.
I can and will provide all Liturgical Services for the Living, The Dying and the Disincarnate.

Paranormal: Somewhat cliché but, my experiences began at a young age though I don't recall making the "paranormal" association until the age of 9 when my grandmother died and returned for a visit. Through the years, I have given many phenomena more attention; from subtle dream images to apparent physical contact from "unseen" sources. I have been involved in independent research/study and investigation for about 30 years and began using some equipment about 20 years ago. I have been working with the Colorado based TEPI team since 2010. As a science oriented investigator, I am a bit of a contradiction. I believe the experience more so than the evidence. Simply because there can be many plausible explanations for most evidence. The experience on the other hand, can sometimes be very complex and difficult to explain easily.Professional: I have a Master of Science degree that essentially qualifies me to manage a multi-discipline team in their efforts to accomplish technical activities. (If I say more the MIB might show up.) My engineering background is primarily electronics but includes mechanical, astrophysics, and some aspects of thermal, optical, and audio. Previous careers were medical including paramedics and medical device technology (design, manufacturing, and training medical staff). I also dabbled heavily in photography before the wide spread use of digital imaging. Ideological: I was raised Presbyterian but allowed to find my own path. I studied Zen for a short time and explored many other faiths. In my late teens I attended a seminar on the subject of Quantum Physics and how it relates to our mind and consciousness; this was the turning point in my belief system. I did not become a scientific skeptic, I simply began to view nearly everything differently. I removed definitions I had learned and replaced them with relationships to my personal experiences and observations. Things once clearly defined as paranormal now had a plausible spin to them. Personal: In my spare time I write dark music, dark poetry, and horror/science fiction stories.

Nigeria: Tributes as Sanders Bids Farewell
Innocent Odoh
Leadership (Abuja)
1 August 2010
Abuja — Outgoing United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Robin Renee Sanders was at the weekend showered with praises as she prepares to depart Nigeria at the end of August after a meritorious service that spanned about three years as the US envoy.
Nigeria's president, Goodluck Jonathan, who was represented by the Foreign Affairs Minister, Henry Odein Ajumogobia, said during a colourful ceremony in honour of Sanders at her residence, that Dr. Sanders had distinguished herself with candour, knowledge and intellect in the dispensation of her career demands.
He stressed that Sanders epitomized the warm diplomatic relations between US and Nigeria, which had flourished over the years and carved a niche for herself in propagating the great image of America just as her predecessors did.Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, also added his voice to the glowing tributes, saying that Sanders embodied mutual respect and passion for industrial and commercial initiatives, which had immensely contributed to the development of Nigeria.
He acknowledged her ceaseless efforts in enlisting the US support in the sanitization of the banking sector in Nigeria and her unflinching support for women empowerment. In her remarks, Dr. Sanders recounted her memorable experience serving in Nigeria and the incredible support she got from Team Nigeria. She thanked the Nigerian government for the warm treatment she received during her service as an ancestral sister of the soil and a friend.
She declared US support for Nigeria in her quest for transparent elections as she advocated total rehabilitation of the Niger Delta militants. She admonished the country in her "My at 50 list for Nigeria" message to give sincere priority to credible elections, food security and education.
Her words: " you are at a point where speaking out for credible elections must turn into reality- and thoughtful consideration as to how you get there, what choices you make, what path you take to have a transparent election so that the conduct of your polls can secure your democratic destiny. And I know that the new INEC is trying to do these things".

In the wake of the "War on Women" controversy, a number of individuals have seemingly gotten it into their minds that Republicans, particularly Republican men, ought to be punished for their callousness.
In mid-March, a women's organization held a week-long "sex strike" in an awareness campaign for their "reproductive rights" (presumably this means free birth control), and now author and Huffington Post blogger John Blumenthal is encouraging another such strike, but with a much wider reach.
What, exactly, does he propose? No sex until November, and if by then you are not 100% convinced he will vote Democrat, "Make him stay home on election day."

In spite of France being a republic and Norway a monarchy, egalitarian ideals are probably more ingrained in Norway.
In the study of political culture the focus of attention is on attitudes, norms and practices which are relevant for the political game and for political legitimacy and governance, often with an emphasis on the historical dimension.
We apply a broad definition of the concept "political culture". Examples of research fields are: The view of man and society, ideas about representation and legal and religious norms, electoral systems, freedom of speech in practice, loyalty towards the government, manners and political rhetoric, journalism and satire.
It could also be relevant to consider how the institutional, organizational and material framework tends to shape political culture, while themselves being part of it. Ceremonies, processions, dress and architecture are examples of the material aspects of political culture.
Research could also be conducted at the intersection between political culture and cultural politics, including the relationship between language and identity. This plays a significant role for the character of the political culture in many countries, among them Norway, especially in the 19th century.

ENCINO, Calif., Feb. 28 (JTA) — Legs and Smoochy, the Beanie Baby frogs, sit at our Passover seder. So does an assortment of other plush, plastic and wooden frogs. Frogs are not merely a child-friendly motif in Passover table decor; like the other nine plagues, they are also a powerful reminder of the Haggadah's lessons about the existence, protective powers and omnipotence of God. And so, at the first seder on March 31, my husband, Larry, and I, along with our four sons and extended family, will spill drops of wine onto our plates, recalling the Ten Plagues. And on this quintessential night of questions, my son Gabe, 11, will ask, "Why 10 plagues? Why did God have to send so many?" Yes, why didn't God just begin with the 10th plague, the slaying of the first-born, a catastrophic show-stopper? In an instant, the Israelites could have grabbed their unleavened dough, their flocks and their herds and hightailed it out of Egypt. But God needed all 10 plagues to teach Pharaoh — as well as the Israelites and us modern Jews — some important lessons. It was Pharaoh's comment, in Exodus 5:2, that began the yearlong siege of scourges: "Who is the Lord, that I should hearken unto His voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, and moreover, I will not let Israel go." Interestingly, according to rabbinic authorities, the plagues can be classified into groups of threes: blood, frogs, lice; flies, cattle disease, boils; hail, locusts, darkness; and, standing alone, the slaying of the first-born. In each group, Moses warns Pharaoh of the first two impending plagues, but Pharaoh's heart remains hardened and God hurls the third plague unannounced. And significantly, each of the three groups demonstrates a different aspect of God. God's purpose in sending the first three plagues is, according to Exodus 8:18, "In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord." As the Egyptians see the Nile River turn to blood and see frogs and lice overrun the land, they painfully realize the existence of God, ever more forceful and frightening than Pharaoh's sorcerers. The second set goes even further, showing how God works, on earth, to protect the Jewish people. Exodus 8:18 states, "And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end that thou mayest know that I am the Lord in midst of the earth." Thus, the Israelites are spared the affliction of flies as well as cattle disease and boils. In the third group —hail, locusts and darkness — God threatens to annihilate Pharaoh in order to show omnipotence. Exodus 9:14 says, "For I will this time send all my plagues upon thy person, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like Me in all the earth." These first nine plagues teach Pharaoh not only about the strength of the Israelites' God but also about the impotence of his Egyptian gods. Pharaoh's gods — the Nile River, the sacred animals and the sun god Ra — are easily and emphatically subdued by the plagues of blood, disease and darkness. The last plague, the slaying of all first-born, is unique. It is the final blow, the most extreme of all plagues, necessary to make Pharaoh finally relent. This plague also affects the Israelites. After 430 years in slavery (Exodus 12:40), their imminent foray into freedom and the unknown, while welcome, is a terrifying prospect. And now they must physically demonstrate their commitment to a God they barely know by smearing lamb's blood on their lintels and doorposts. The Ten Plagues succeed in ending slavery in Egypt, but at a high cost. And so, at Passover, we remove wine from our cups, taking away some of our happiness, as we remember the Egyptian deaths and devastation. As Proverbs 24:17 instructs us, "You shall not rejoice when your enemy falls." But plagues are not merely afflictions that occurred more than 3,000 years ago. There are also modern plagues. "I think the worst plague is bad guys. You know, robbers and killers," my son Danny, 7, says, pointing his index finger and thumb like a gun. "You're wrong," his brother Jeremy, 9, answers. "People can't be plagues." And so we create our own list of plagues: infestations of killer bees and fire ants; AIDS, cancer and antibiotic-resistant bacteria; earthquakes, floods and tornadoes. All emanate from external sources. "Also," my son Zack, 15, adds, "people can have individual plagues, like drug or alcohol addictions — or younger brothers." These modern plagues may or may not be a form of God's punishing us. But, as clearly as their ancient prototypes, they give us an opportunity to learn. Pharaoh had to understand that only God has power over life and death and that all humans have value in God's eyes. Perhaps, as equal opportunity victims of modern plagues, we have to learn the same lesson today. And so, as we observe Legs, Smoochy and their amphibian friends at this year's seder, we are reminded of the existence, protection and ultimate power of God. And we are also reminded that our own personal exodus — from whatever plagues we face — is possible only in partnership with God.

Neotropical Rainforest Mammals, the first color-illustrated field guide to these marvelously diverse and elusive creatures, has enjoyed tremendous success since its initial publication in 1990. Ecotourists and field researchers alike have applauded this guide's compact size, light weight, and durability. More important, they have appreciated its clear and concise accounts of the mammals of this broad region. Each species account includes information on identifying characteristics, similar species, vocalizations, behavior and natural history, geographic range, conservation status, local names, and references to the scientific literature. In this completely revised and updated second edition: A total of 226 species are treated in full (206 were included in the first edition). All species accounts retained from the first edition have been updated to include the most recent research. All 195 maps showing the distribution and geographic range of each species have been revised to reflect the most current information. Twenty-nine beautiful color plates illustrate more than 220 species (including significant color variants between males and females or adults and young). Seven black-and-white plates contain more than 60 images of individual species, mainly bats. A compact disc of mammal vocalizations--crucial to identifying nocturnal and otherwise cryptic animals that sometimes may be heard rather than seen--will be available for purchase separately. Praise for the first edition: "If you can't go to the Central and South American rain forests to see firsthand their threatened ecosystems, here is the next best thing."--Washington Post Book World "A large amount of information is presented concisely and in a way that is easy to use."--Choice "The presentation and wealth of information contained in this field guide is outstanding and will satisfy the needs of both the 'tourist' and 'researcher' traveling to the Neotropics."--Canadian Field-Naturalist

A couple of weeks before Kuber died, an odd thing happened. It was night, and I'd just shut the roller door on her and the dog. I clean my teeth, poke around a bit. Then I hear a noise coming from the garage – Kuber was growling, as far as cats do. I walk through, and see that she's sitting, looking intently and growling at something behind the mower. 'Uh-oh,' I think. There's a snake inside. Or a bluetongue or something. I approach tentatively – and was quite surprised by what was crouched there – a tiny black kitten, with white feet. I'm delighted! I've always wanted to be discovered by a kitten! I put Kubrick and the dog into my room, and then approach again. The black kitten runs off. I go after it, slowly. It bolts again. I'm talking to it in a high, friendly voice, offering it catfood – it just keeps running away. After half an hour I'm sick of chasing it and I need to get to bed, so I corner it against the wall behind a plant pot. I reach down to grab it – and as I put my hand towards it there's this hissing explosion which makes me withdraw my hand quite swiftly! I put on a thick pair of leather gloves and try again. I reach down – hissing explosion. Such a huge noise from something so small! I was afraid that if I grabbed it, I'd have a snarling sharp kitten up my arm and attached to my face in no time. After a ridiculous number of attempts to grab it I give up. The thing was trying to kill me. I open the roller door and use a stick to chase the kitten outside, whereupon it runs off into the night. See, now I have a theory about that little feral black kitten. It was the cat version of the Grim Reaper, and it'd come for Kubrick. Only – it got trapped inside and had to leave without her!

...on carving again.
Today I spread out some newspaper and got on with carving something new. Not typography this time - spongy amoebic blobbiness hooray!

... on newness.
These past few weekends gone, I've been shifting my furniture about. When I was a kid, 'changing my room around' was a beloved pasttime - I'd pull everything out onto the veranda and then rearrange - for a while the new perspective given by moving my bed from this corner to that was a bit like being on holiday.
It took all weekend, but it made me happy!
The little table made me even happier. C made it for me, shaking his head that I preferred to use his dodgy old concrete-covered ply rather than new.
I hadn't done it in a while though, but action was needed in order to fit in a new little table to hold my new big friend*. Also, I wanted to try out a feature of my bookcase. It was made for me by a local cabinetmaker, who designed an ingenious stand for the case to sit on. I was planning on chocking it up on bits of wood, but the cabinetmaker had made a jigsaw of wooden pieces which linked together to form a neat cabinet-makey base, and which could be used at full size (when the bookcase was lying flat) or small size (when the bookcase was standing tall) and the extra pieces fit in underneath. Neat!
Feeling like it was time for a change, I set about shifting.
*My new big friend WAS lovely too - until it started making a sound like a jet engine revving up and alas, all twenty-seven inches of it were pronounced 'DOA' and they're sending me a new one!

Better the devil I know, so I'll stay put and plant tomatoes
Relevant offers
Jane Bowron
Labour Weekend has come and gone without a single tomato plant being interred into the ground.
OPINION: What does this mean? I ask myself as I give a wide berth to the plant section at the vegetable market, refusing to be enticed by sweet little cherry or brutish beefsteak tomato plants.
Friends are suspicious, imagining that not putting down red roots, as it were, suggests I'm thinking about pulling out of Dodge. Yes, good riddance, you might say, but if I were thinking of decamping, where to next?
One of the few things I envy Americans for is the number of states and cities they have at their disposal to reinvent themselves in. When Sky's macabre Criminal Investigation channel first cranked up, I became unhealthily transfixed by its grisly menu and found it difficult to believe how so many career rapists and murderers managed to get away with their nasty offending for so long.
Then the penny dropped that they only have to cross a state line, dye their hair, sprout facial fungus and, Bob's your uncle, it's relatively easy to assume yet another identity before starting all over again.
In Godzone the godless would have only a smattering of regions and five cities to lay low in. Crims, like the rest of us, would have to come to the inevitable dead-end, cul-de-sac conclusion that there's only Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch or Dunedin to disappear in. How many times have you lived in each or ring-bolted around the houses before trying your luck across the ditch?
I remember hearing a British doctor say to my father when inquiring how many children he had and their location: "Ah yes, you have one in Australia. There's always one in Australia".
I'm guilty of ditch defection myself, having lived in Sydney for a couple of years, going there in the early nineties just when the crash of '87 was really kicking in and couldn't get decent work. Employment was eventually found doing telephone sales - with considerable failure, I might add, trying to flog something aesthetically repugnant called solid vinyl siding.
Lousy at it, I was kept on purely on the proviso that on the way to work I would swing by the digs of the best telephone salesman they had, pound on his door and try to rouse him from his narcotic stupor and get him on the train to Stanmore.
Once there, Roland, who was the epitome of shambling dishevelment, with nicotine stains up to his elbows and unmentionable ones around the fly area, would pick up the receiver and proceed to charm lonely and libidinous women out in far-flung locales with his golden-tongued sales pitches, leaving us in both awe and stitches.
He's probably dead now. Maybe not, perhaps he straightened up and flew right and went back to his roots to the bush from whence he came before the tough city ate him up.
Back then the whole place seemed to be awash in heroin. Bank tellers would be counting out notes, hairdressers would be mid-cut, then suddenly nod off, coming to as if nothing had happened.
No-one I knew then lives there now, having fled to another state or a small town. Apart from some core cobbers I'd known since childhood, Sydney, to me, was a mean city full of hard Aussies you thought were easy going and friendly till they ripped you off and had the audacity to wonder why you wouldn't speak to them afterwards.
Two years of rotten jobs, the worst being a filing clerk for Reader's Digest, and I was happy to call it quits and return home, tail between my legs, to the coldest of Canterbury winters and to the warn bosom of a family.
You wonder how many moves there are in a person, if a change really is as good as a rest, and if a town can bring good or bad luck or whether it is just the person.
Some people have many moves in them, can leave a place without looking back. Not me, it really is a wrench as I feel the roots literally dragging behind me like an unplugged television cord that keeps getting stuck in doors.
Labour Weekend came early this year, the calendar says it's the 28th, which is the real date you're supposed to plant tomatoes, so, on the way to yet another farewell party to yet another friend leaving Christchurch, I'll probably stop and buy some seedlings.

Watford face the daunting task of a clash at free-scoring Manchester City tomorrow and Manuel Almunia is ready for a busy afternoon.
City score so often they lose count. Manuel Pellegrini's side have found the net 106 times in 35 games this season with 68 goals in 17 games at The Etihad suggesting the former Arsenal goalkeeper has an unenviable task ahead of him in this fourth-round FA Cup tie.
City are the fastest team to reach a century of goals in all competitions and are on course to beat Chelsea's Premier League record of 103 goals, set by Carlo Ancelotti's Double winners in the 2009-10 season.
This season, City have put seven past Norwich, six past Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham and five past Wigan, CSKA Moscow and Blackburn.
Edin Dzeko lost track of how many they had scored against West Ham in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final earlier this month and his City side have been beaten just once in 17 games at home — against European champions Bayern Munich. "The numbers and statistics are there for everyone to see," said Almunia. "We have been joking in the dressing room about how many they are scoring. But you always look forward to big games and goalkeepers always expect they'll have a lot of work to do.
"Goalkeepers always think we will be busy and tomorrow the whole team will need to work very hard. We will prepare the best we can to get a result but maybe we will have to play with 12 or 13 players!"
City are expected to be without 23-goal forward Alvaro Negredo because of a shoulder problem but £38million striker Sergio Aguero is back following his injury lay-off. The Argentine has scored 22 times in 23 games this season and strike partner Dzeko has 18 goals.
"It's not just Aguero, Dzeko and Negredo because the wingers are scoring… and the midfielders as well!" said Almunia. "We will not be able to make any mistakes because they will punish us but it is a gift for us to play against one of the best teams in the world and we are looking forward to it. We know the quality of their players so there is nothing new for us to discover tomorrow.
"The way to try to stop them is for every one of our players to think positively. We have to go there with confidence because when your mind thinks positively, your body responds better. We will not be scared to play our football in a confident way."
Pellegrini is likely to make a number of changes with next Wednesday's trip to Tottenham in mind but he will still name a strong side. The FA Cup is third on City's list of priorities but Pellegrini, whose side are a point behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, has shown no signs of complacency in the build up to the tie.
Almunia sees the game as an opportunity for Watford to demonstrate their Premier League potential and knows from experience that City will not be taking his team lightly.
"When I was at Arsenal and we played against teams from the Football League, we were always wary of them because we knew they would play with high intensity," he said.
"Manchester City will be confident but they will know that our players will want to show that we can play at the highest level."
While City target an unprecedented four trophies in Pellegrini's debut season in England, Watford are struggling in the Championship. Gianfranco Zola resigned in December and results have not improved since fellow Italian Giuseppe Sannino replaced him at Vicarage Road.
They have won only three of their last 18 in all competitions and are 15th in the Championship, 10 points outside the play-offs.
Despite winning just one of five League games under Sannino, there has been an upturn in performances in recent weeks and Almunia is confident results will soon follow.
"The players are taking his message on board," said the 36-year-old Spaniard. "He is a top manager who has a lot of character and demands high intensity. We are playing well and defending well. Results will improve because we have a very talented squad.
"When we went down to 10 men after a controversial penalty against Bournemouth last weekend, we regrouped and everybody worked for the good of the team. We will need to work hard again tomorrow but we have to be optimistic."
