CONCACAF Clarity (Sort Of)
Okay, where are we after five games apiece?
USA, Costa Rica and El Salvador are through to the final round. Congrats to all.
Unless I have miscalcuated.....
Mexico (10 points, +4) is also headed to the next stage unless it loses at Honduras next month by, say, three goals and Jamaica (seven points, -3) beats Canada at home by five goals. If Honduras does beat Mexico, the Catrachos advance. If Honduras (nine points, +3) ties Mexico, Jamaica would have to win by at least six goals to overtake the Hondurans. So the Reggae Boyz are rooting for Mexico to beat Honduras.
Following T&T's win over the USA and Guatemala's shock loss at Cuba, the Soca Warriors only need a tie at home against the Cubans to seal the group's second berth. Guatemala needs to win at the USA and hope T&T loses at home -- ain't happenin'.
Strange as it may sound, the Americans were better off losing tonight. Yes, losing. They'd much rather face T&T twice in the final round than Guatemala. Think about it: No concerns about where to play the home match -- with Guatemala in the mix, you have to choose the venue carefully -- and, let's be honest, a full-strength USA squad would not be troubled on the road in festive Port of Spain against a very mediocre T&T team.

Ummm, not so much. Sounds suspicously like how many were handing the Redskins that win over the Rams before the game. A US 'B' team, made up of 3 'A' players and numerous others many believe should be on the the 'A' team - and all presumably playing to show they belong - manage to lose to a tiny vacationland in a performance that would embarass most high school JV teams. Disgraceful. I don't see how any US team can assume anything in the next round.

I disagree with assuming a full USMNT squad would earn three points in Port-of-Spain.
When T&T has an obvious challenge in front of them, they seem to have an ability to rise and meet that challenge. (Mexico 2005, Bahrain 2005)
Posted by: B.A. | October 16, 2008 7:05 AM | Report abuse
B.A. and HMMM I think Goff is saying, and most would agree, is that the US would rather play T&T.
That is not to say it will be easy, just prefered.
Yes, the US team lost, but let's not read too much into that. The goal Jozy scored that was called offside, was not offside. The linesman also missed another offside call that would have sent the US in on a break. T&T's first goal was fortuitous. The PK, well Jozy should know better than that. He will learn. It was nice to get the youngins out there as a learning experience.
I for one love the fact that Guatemala in all likelihood is not going to the final round.
To steal a thought from Chest R. The simple fact is if the US can't finish in the top 3 of the final round, we don't deserve to go to the WC.

Then why wouldn't every other team in the final group prefer to play T&T rather than Guat? It's not like their thuggish behavior is reserved exclusively for the US. In fact, if Guat is deemed a superior side, wouldn't that benefit the group favorite US in that other teams would be more likely to tie / lose to Guat rather than a team that everyone could presumably handle? In a 6 team group, the chance that either T&T or Guat would advance would be small so why not have a team qualify that would be more likely to take points from other teams rather than the US? Sorry - don't buy your reasoning unless the US exists in a vacuum.

Posted by: Rob | October 16, 2008 7:51 AM | Report abuse
I have a real issue with the fact that writers and fans will now say, "well, had it been the first team", etc.
We missed our best defenders - Boca, Gooch, Cherundolo - because Hejduk, Califf, and Orozco were only ok. The worst player in the back, though, WAS a 1st-teamer - Heath Pearce.
Next, we played 2 regulars - Edu and Kljestan - who were bloody awful. They were so bad that they don't deserve to be called up again (though Edu can be a backup center back, where he belongs). Kljestan has had 2 mediocre games for the US, which everyone praises him for. Yet, the rest of his games, he's looked like a bad high school player.
With Kljestan, Adu, and Altidore, we were off the pace a bit against a fast team. We desperately needed quicker players like Szetela and Davies for the full 90. Adu and Altidore looked fine, but I thought they get very little help up top, which can attributed in part to Bradley's system.
Beasley looked ok, but he continues to show that he has very little touch and passing ability, and zero ability to beat a defender in a 1v1 situation.
And bringing on Rolfe was just a waste. Bradley seems completely inept at making more than 1 sub that will affect a game. If there was any night that lent itself to bringing on 1 or 2 players at half, last night was it. Kljestan and Edu needed to be off the pitch.

Assuming we field a decent team, agree that at least we have the T&T venue issue is an advantage both home and away. While T&T has some fine players, it is a mediocre team and after last night, I don't think that we will ever see a team lineup that can't beat them more handily than Guatamala. Last night showed that we are in some trouble. In international play, you must field players who are used to the speed and pace of the best players coming from the best players in the world. Therefore, we need to bench certain American's until they can prove that they are getting playing time in those leagues. That would include Guzan, Edu, SK, Hejeck etc. It also raises questions about Altidore and anyone else not getting playing time for their clubs. Altidore, Guzan, Convey, Edu need to be loaned out ....Bradley, Dempsey, Adu need playing time as well.

"Then why wouldn't every other team in the final group prefer to play T&T rather than Guat?"
How do we know they don't? I was looking at past success against both teams, difficulty playing away, etc. There would also be many more Guat fans at the match in the U.S. than there would be for the T&T game in the US.
As for not buying my reasoning, I'm not buying yours. As we have seen in the past, all teams are capable of taking points from one another. Remember friend, these are just opinions.
all this talk is pointless, like I said, there is no reason the US should not finish in the top 3 of that group. US and Mexico should finsh in the top 2. if we don't/can't finish in the top 3, we don't deserve to go.

Would much rather see 2 actual soccer games next round against t&t than ultimate fighting matches against guatemala.
Posted by: pat | October 16, 2008 8:25 AM | Report abuse
Edu killed us last night. I've said it many times. Bradley still believes you can get by with a holding mid who is essentially a 5th defender. That holding mid needs to be a gifted attacking player and distributor of the ball. Edu is not that. Maybe he will be some day, he's still young. But he's not that yet.
Also, why do you go into T&T and play what is essentially a 4-5-1? Lame. Instead of playing Freddy as a withdrawn forward, drop him into the mids and put two forwards in front of him.
And while I'm on the topic, Freddy needs to play every minute of every national team game. It baffles me that he still is a second option, that he is still playing at forward instead of attacking mid, and that Bradley still subs him out as the first sub. He clearly holds the ball better, sees the fields better, and goes forward better than any other player in our player pool.

Not agreed--Guatemala's offense is woeful. Ruiz is on a downward slide.
Kenwyne Jones (whe he gets healthy) is a better forward than anyone we have.
T&T has a potential game-changer, Guat has mostly hacks.

Amazed that Guzan has not played more then 1 real game since approx. August and Perkins has played every minute of every game - and still doesn't get to play - Guzan bobbled every ball he touched last night. We better hope that if Guzan is #2 that Tim Howard never goes down. A goalkeeper can not get better sitting on the bench and that's were Guzan will be most of the year behind Brad F.

Honestly Mexico was fortunate to get a draw last night. Both Stalteri and Radzinski missed late chances by inches to win the game for Canada.
Sven as I suspected months ago when he was hired was a bad fit for an intensely nationalistic nation and young but talented team. The FMF will not fire him but they would have been much better off finding a Mexican coach.

If this were the European system where you need to finish first or second, then I think the logic of which team is relatively worse for CR or Mex compared to us matters.
But I think since the USA just has to finish in the top 3 out of six, that Goff is right. What happens to Mex/CR vs Tnt/Guat shouldn't concern us.

It always sucks to lose, but I'm not particularly surprised. The Soca Warriors are a solid, veteran team. They were playing at home and in desperate need of a result. We, on the other hand, trotted out a makeshift and very, very young lineup. Add in a little bad luck (Latapy's goal missing the target but rebounding in off the back of Guzan's head), piss poor work by the linesmen (the offsides call disqualifying Altidore's goal was outrageous), and a brain fart by the youngest player on the field (Altidore's jersey tug) and a 2-1 result isn't too hard to swallow.
Amazing to see some folks here whining that we're in trouble. We stamped our ticket to the Hex with two games to spare. Mexico, meanwhile, has left it 'til the very last game. Now THAT's trouble. We're fine.
And, yes, we'd much rather see the Soca Warriors in the Hex than Guatemala. That's a no brainer.

Agreed. But we shouldn't underestimate T&T fans all over the US flying to the hexagonal in the US, especially if they have a fighting chance at the the 3 or 3.5 slot. Remember Jamaica 98?

While I agree that every team in the Hex benefits from playing T&T rather than Guat, the U.S. enjoys particular advantages: 1) the lack of a huge T&T fan base in the States makes scheduling a home match easier; 2) the environment in T&T, with a decent field and a festive, not hostile, atmosphere, makes the road match easier for Team USA. I don't think Guat or Honduras or Mexico care when they play each other on the road, they are used to that enviroment of bottle throwing and fans right on top of you and a crappy field. But it is different for the U.S. team, and we struggle under those adverse conditions. Just look at how we played at Cuba, a much weaker team, compared to last night. Even though Cuba was a win and last night was a loss, I thought our performance in T&T was better than that in Havana -- our possession and comfort looked much better.

I would agree with the sentiment that the USMNT would rather play T & T than Guatemala, but only if that team allowed themselves to think in such terms.
I personally don't believe in caring about the name of the opposition (except DCU vs. Chicago Fire in the MLS Playoffs; I've been psychologically beaten there over the years).
Anyways, I was disagreeing that the "honest" logic dictates that the full national team would not be troubled in Port-of-Spain. I think -- especially if Yorke and Latapy stay with the Soca Warriors through their potential Hex run -- that that matchup would be surprisingly difficult for the USMNT.
I would, however, agree that the loss may have been a good thing for the team. This defeat -- in a relatively friendly atmosphere -- will not have significantly psychologically damaged the confidence of the younger players.
Except Adu. He does not seem to enjoy being subbed out of matches. Then again, who does?

I guess I'm easy, but I was so anxious to see a bunch of these guys play that I'm ok with the outcome. Definitely some things to improve on, but some good stuff as well.
One observation about the comments here -- is there any other sport that generates such a difference of opinion on each and every player? I can read blogs about football, basketball, baseball and most folks agree on who played well and who didn't. Soccer seems to generate the wildest swings in opinion I've ever seen. It's truly amazing. Sometimes I wonder if we all watched the same match...

First, when did US fans turn into Statler and Waldorf after matches? Jeez, it was a poor match last night. I don't think anyone distinguished themselves on a hard and fast pitch (seriously, it looked like they were kicking down a hill). The US players seemed to be in friendly mode, I like to see them play well all the time, but they're through to the final round and that's all that matters.
Second, where should the hexagonal home matches be played??
Mexico - Columbus
Trinidad - Red Bull Arena, depending on schedule?
Costa Rica - Chicago
El Salvador - Seattle

Yeah, I left out RFK, it's a dump and I think we had our match last week. Thoughts?

I was saying all along that T&T is a much better team to have in the Hex than Guat. Not that Guatemala is any good, but if the next round away matches consist of Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador - those are places that are generally very difficult to play and we're almost certain to lose a game, a player to suspension and a player to injury. T&T meanwhile always lies down against us as home and I have no trouble believing a US team with the mind-set of needing to win a game down there could without a problem. Christ, T&T might be the oldest team I've ever seen. Next year's another year on that age number.
As for home venues, I really hope US Soccer would go back to Salt Lake or Portland. Those places were great HOME qualifying venues with passionate, knowledgable fans. It was a big game and they treated it as so. I'd prefer the only east coast venue to be RFK, assuming it's not vs Central American opposition. NYC? Come on, they only show up if Messi's playing.

There were two terrible offside calls against the US that would have resulted in goals and, at least, a 2-0 lead. Edu was awful, but the guys didn't play quite that badly. Anyway, who really cares? Good for T&T. They have cool fans.

Well we played T&T in Hartford last time around, got a good crowd and a 1-nil win. I don't think it's a big deal to have that match in the Northeast corridor. Trinidad & Tobago is a pretty small country, so their ex-pats shouldn't really take over a stadium. I don't think that the federation schedules matches strategically to avoid away fans unless we are playing Mexico, El Salvador or perhaps other Central American countries.
I think Red Bull Park will be a gem, and if they can finish the thing next summer it should have a qualifier. This might be blasphemous, but I'd rather take the train up there to see a match in a nice stadium than have another qualifier here. The DC Sports & Entertainment Commission simply does not deserve more business, in my opinion.

Not agreed--Guatemala's offense is woeful. Ruiz is on a downward slide.
Kenwyne Jones (whe he gets healthy) is a better forward than anyone we have.
T&T has a potential game-changer, Guat has mostly hacks.
Posted by: Shmenge | October 16, 2008 8:33 AM
the bias on this board is ridiculous, have you seen the USMT play? can the US please get just ONE quality player who demands respect overseas. Guatemala's dirty players will break someone's leg, but the real discussion here is Honduras potentially not comign through. When playing right they are the one team that can threaten the US-Mexico hold on top concacaf.

Cuauhtemoc Blanco may have a different opinion about the gentlemanly nature of T&T's soccer players vis-a-vis the Guatemalans.
Injuries and chippy games can occur against just about any Concacaf hex opponent.
But it's good that we might avoid a road trip to Guatemala. I probably don't have to remind most of you that Jack Edwards informed us that the stadiums down there are in the jungle and below sea level. Plus I seem to remember hearing, a few years back, that their military dictatorships were kept busy fighting dangerous subversive gorillas.
Who needs THAT?

Agreed... I think Jamaica getting in would be better for the US too. Better chance for a good home crowd. As for playing against latinos... let's do Hawaii or Alaska.

EL SALVADOR! Can't wait for the next round to begin.
I hope USA decides to play El Salvador here in DC lol...Realistically I see USA taking ES to Gillete Stadium...
Either way, I hope CONCACAF continues to sleep on us...we will be a pleasent surprise in the next round :).

BTW, I saw the Guatemala game (it was before ES)...those guys have BAD luck lol.
They hit post FOUR times throughout the game and Cuba just converted on the few chances they had.
I think it's safe to say that Trinidad will advance over Guatemala.
Also...Mexico will have BIG problems on the road next round...They will NOT win in Central America...USA will sweep them...it will fun to see Mexico suffer lol.

With all the talk about Caribbean nations not posing the same home field disadvantage problem for us that Mexico and Central American nations do, we would be wise to remember the WC98 qualifier against Jamaica at RFK.

Here's a vote for definitely NOT having a T&T game in the New York area. That would be like an away game. There might be more T&T fans there than in Port of Spain. If the arena is ready in time for a qualifier, make it the Costa Rica game. I mean, it would be nice for all the Trinidadians in New York, but we're in this to win it.
In fact, I don't even agree with the meme here that we should prefer T&T to Guatemala. Official stats put the number of Trinidadians at less than half the number of Guatemalans in this country, but still.... And, I think T&T are a better team.

So you're saying that all these Trinidadians that were not in Hartford will somehow flood into New Jersey? It's not like we'd be playing the Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico in baseball at Yankee Stadium :-)

Brian Carroll should have been subbed in for Edu at the start of the 2nd half.
He's a good player and rightly deserves a shot . . . particularly when Edu had his head up his arse.
Posted by: delantero | October 16, 2008 12:31 PM | Report abuse
@ Kev. Yes. Hartford is hours from the city. Not accessible except by car. Most Trinidadians live in Brooklyn and Queens, and the majority probably do not have cars. Getting to Giants Stadium is a hassle without a car, but it's doable. And there would be plenty of charter buses, too. Look, it would make for a great atmosphere, but do we want to have that many fans rooting for the other team?

Well, not Giants Stadium, Red Bull Arena - which actually will be easier to get to via public transport ;-)

I would hardly call the gorillas dangerous. After all, Atlanta finished 3rd from the bottom of the USL.

huh? Guatemala City is at almost 5,000 feet. And they've been a democracy since 1995 or thereabouts (long enough ago that I don't remember the date). And gorillas live in Africa ;-)

TT are much more classier players than Guat. Much rather play TT, they will be hard games but TT will not go out of their way and try and provoke us into fights. Or just foul us for no reason at all.
Posted by: Bob | October 16, 2008 3:27 PM | Report abuse
I hate to tell everyone this, but two of Altidore's goals were taken away by offsides calls that were erroneous. That said we would have won the game last night with our B side. I do believe that Pearce got exposed, but the by Latapy was also Califf's fault for ball watching and not marking. Also Goff could not be more right about his comments. T&T is a much easier opponent and we don't have to worry about our players being hacked to death in Guatemala.
Posted by: Qualifiers | October 16, 2008 3:40 PM | Report abuse
Nobody here comments on the weak play of Torres vs T&T, he did nothing and honestly the lineup Bob put together was crap. Sascha should not be in the midfield I would have much rather seen Szetela if your going to play a 4-5-1. T&T barely won the game they gave it their all not so sure the Americans did the same. T&T is good but do you really sweat them? Guat is much scrappier and they really gave our A team a game. Watch the tape Jozy did not need to hold his mark, he was already covered by center back coming around the top.
Agree on these sites Kev but 2 notes-never play Hon in HDC and move T&T to Dicks make the travel
Mexico - Columbus
Trinidad - Red Bull Arena, depending on schedule?
Costa Rica - Chicago
El Salvador - Seattle
Honduras or Jamaica - Birmingham or HDC

Mosaic Monday: Quiche
This is a basic quiche recipe I've been making for years. It's been adapted along the way to whatever I have on hand. Whole milk, low fat, heavy cream, it's a basic custard so use whatever you have. You can add any fillings you like, any cheeses you like. Very adaptable. Spinach and Artichoke with Mozzarella is really good. The recipe usually makes enough for a deep dish crust OR two regular pie crusts. Tonight I used 2% milk, shredded cheddar and shredded mozzarella. It's basically a "leftovers" quiche! Sounds nicer than a "dump" quiche though. But that's basically it. Dump whatever you have and mix it up, pour it in and bake. It is a lot more elegant than I make it out to be, it's great at a brunch, or luncheon, or anything.
It's also good crustless, just pour into a baking dish and bake until it's set in the center.
Broccoli, Cheddar and Mushroom Quiche
Printable Recipe
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell
Custard Filling:
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups broccoli, florets, chopped small
1-1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
8 ounces mushrooms, white button, sliced
1 shallot, chopped fine
olive oil and a little butter
Preheat oven to 375°. Line pie shell with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill it with uncooked beans, rice, aluminum or ceramic pie weights. Bake until golden brown and dry. Carefully remove foil and weights. Transfer to a wire rack to cool while making filling.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add shallots, and cook, stirring, until translucent but not brown, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Add broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms first release their liquid and then liquid evaporates and mushrooms are dark golden brown and the broccoli is tender.
Transfer quiche pan to a baking sheet. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, eggs. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix in the mushrooms, shallots, broccoli and remaining cheese. Pour into the pie shell. Transfer to oven, and bake until just set in the center, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing.
They really do mean WAIT TEN MINUTES before slicing. I had one messy, messy slice. but it tasted so good. I never said I had patience to wait. and you must have noticed by now how well I am at following directions!
You can make a quiche ahead of time, just reheat it. It freezes and reheats really nicely!
If you need to bake your own pie shell, here a few good recipes... Martha Stewart Flaky Tart Dough and Pate Brisee, Martha Stewart's Basic Pie Dough.
I like to take the easy way out and just buy one!
Stop by Cuisine Kathleen and show Kathleen your whites. Or just check out everyone else who's joining in with their white tables, dishes, flowers, whatever! Always a fun event over at Kathleen's. Check it out! Her event starts tomorrow on June 23 but many have already started posting their whites! I'll be there tomorrow to show her my pearly whites!

Oh my goodness, my mouth is watering! Thanks so much for taking the time to share this wonderful dish with us at Mosaic Monday. :)ReplyDelete
I love quiche but am not a fan of eggs. I can only eat a quiche that is VERY full of veggies so i generally make my base with 1 egg and yogurt. It is awesome! Just figured I'd share a variation.ReplyDelete

I honestly thought I already had a postcard of Kew Gardens but when I was updating my Unesco postcard list, it wasn't there. I'm missing some other pretty obvious UK sites as well. O_o Well, at least I've got this one now! I've never actually been to Kew Gardens... Last year when my sister came to London and I went to visit her, we did talk about possibly going there, but then just ended up wandering around central London. :p Maybe one day?
Set amongst a series of parks and estates along the River Thames' south-western reaches, this historic landscape garden includes work by internationally renowned landscape architects Bridgeman, Kent, Chambers, Capability Brown and Nesfield illustrating significant periods in garden design from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The gardens house extensive botanic collections (conserved plants, living plants and documents) that have been considerably enriched through the centuries. Since their creation in 1759, the gardens have made a significant and uninterrupted contribution to the study of plant diversity, plant systematics and economic botany.
The landscape design of Kew Botanic Gardens, their buildings and plant collections combine to form a unique testimony to developments in garden art and botanical science that were subsequently diffused around the world. The 18th century English landscape garden concept was adopted in Europe and Kew's influence in horticulture, plant classification and economic botany spread internationally from the time of Joseph Banks' directorship in the 1770s. As the focus of a growing level of botanic activity, the mid 19th century garden, which overlays earlier royal landscape gardens is centred on two large iron framed glasshouses - the Palm House and the Temperate House that became models for conservatories around the world. Elements of the 18th and 19th century layers including the Orangery, Queen Charlotte's Cottage; the folly temples; Rhododendron Dell, boundary ha-ha; garden vistas to William Chambers' pagoda and Syon Park House; iron framed glasshouses; ornamental lakes and ponds; herbarium and plant collections convey the history of the Gardens' development from royal retreat and pleasure garden to national botanical and horticultural garden before becoming a modern institution of conservation ecology in the 20th century.

It finally feels like spring is coming! The weather in my particular New England state is still as unpredictable as ever, but thankfully the snow finally seems to be gone for good. We've enjoyed many sunny days with temps occasionally rising to the point of giving a little hope that summer may not be far away either. Then there are the days of nothing by gray skies, thunder, and rain. (FYI: Wednesday was that day for us, and it also happened to be the day I'd planned on doing my grocery shopping. Yeah… not fun.) Then there are the occasional days of cold to remind us that we are still in New England. Today's high temp is 47 degrees and right now it's only 41!
With all of this great weather we've been having (with the exception of Wednesday) I've found it difficult to keep my 2-year old inside on the rainy and/or cold days. I'm not quite sure how I kept him in most of the winter! One day this week, he spent approximately 90% of his play time outside. It doesn't bother me at all because he mostly entertains himself and only requires minimal supervision. Unfortunately some of my housework has gone by the wayside, but it's a worthy sacrifice!
My thoughts for today mostly stem around outdoor activities for toddlers. We try not to accumulate a lot of "stuff", so we've tried to make the few outdoor toys and activites that we do have very worthwhile and purposeful so as not to spend unnecessary money (even if it is a great deal that is difficult to resist) and to encourage plenty of creative and imaginative play. Excluding basic balls, buckets, and shovels, here are the outdoor toys that we (or a family member) have invested in with a brief description of what it is and why we chose that particular toy or activity.
Basketball Hoop – We very rarely purchase toys for Jadon without it being a special occasion (like a birthday or Christmas pretty much). I also don't purchase a toy simply because Jadon loved playing with it at a friend's house. This basketball hoop, however, is pretty much the only toy that we have that is an exception to both of these rules – and it has probably been the best toy investment that we have made. It spent the winter in the house, often in our basement toy room. As soon as the weather turned nice, out it went. I can easily say that hardly a day goes by that Jadon doesn't play with his hoop. It's really been great to see him as he's grown (so the hoop needs to be raised) and become more coordinated (no longer just dunking but being able to take a shot from a distance. It's also great for Mom and Dad to play P-I-G! Guess who usually wins? :-)
Bubbles – I'm sure they're out there somewhere, but I for one have yet to find a child who does not like bubbles. From the kind that make bubbles the size of small children to your basic bottle of bubbles with a little round wand, kids love them! Last summer I carried a container of bubbles in Jadon's bag wherever we went and they came in handy multiple times when he needed some instant outdoor entertainment.
Child-Size Bag Chair – This was purchased at the end of last summer but I wish I'd had it the whole summer. They can be found at a number of stores, but I got my son's at the Christmas Tree Shops for somewhere around $5. It's perfect for a snack and drink break out on the deck when playing outside and collapses to practically nothing for easy travelling (perfect to bring on vacation, to soccer games, or to other family member's home throughout the summer).
Cozy Coup Car – My in-laws found this car at a yard sale for $10. It has minimal fading and a rip on the sticker dashboard (although that may have occurred after my son got his hands on it…). He still hasn't really figured out how to move around too much in it (mostly just in reverse), but we love it because it does encourage imaginative play. He will point to the van and says "Mumma's van," the car and says "Daddy's car," and his car and says "Jadon's car!" Then he hops in and says, "Bye!" Then we'll talk about where he's going and who he's going to see (usually it's Grammy or Grampy).
|Having fun last fall in the cozy coup!
Child-Size Picnic Table – We actually don't have this yet, but I'm excited for it. This is another Craig's List purchase, but this time my husband's parents found it. We are hoping to finally purchase a patio table and chairs for our big deck in the next month, so this will be great for Jadon to sit and eat at when we decide to cook and eat out. It will also be nice for some messy crafts during the summer.
Kiddie Pool – This is a must for us. I would have possibly opted for just a sprinkler (what we had in my family when I was growing up) but, considering the lack of grass that grows in our back yard, a kiddie pool is much… cleaner. There are tons of them around, but Jadon's is a $10 inflatable one from Target (no bells and whistles with it, just your basic pool). Hey, I even enjoyed pulling my deck chair up to it and sticking my feet in! Pull the basketball hoop to the side of the pool and you've got additional splashing fun!
|Memorial Day Weekend 2010 (I'm thinking the water was a little on the cold side!)
|Staying cool at his water table... FYI: I don't know why he's not wearing his swim trunks because he ALWAYS got himself soaked when playing in at his water table!

1. "Blackwork tattoo" pretty much every month, I get visitors coming here based on this post about this tattoo style. I was thinking about getting a tattoo (not interested anymore, by the way).
2. "Givenchy Septum" Why are people still searching for this? It's been a few years since Givenchy shocked the norms with their couture faux septum rings (visitors were lead to this post)
3. "How to pin curl short hair"Recently I did a post on pin curls. I kind of thought it was a weak post and kind of wished I showed off a more pin-curly look than a subtle look.
4. "Nu-goth music" I guess nu goth is becoming its own genre and not just a fashion, if people are searching for music from it. I think it's silly to match your music to your outfit, but this sort of thing matters to teens, who I assume are the ones searching for this. (this is my post on nu-goth music)
5. "rtw 1066x" Huh?
6. "Septum Jewelry" I guess septums are still trendy.
7. "'Live Models' store" ??
8. "Cool tattoo on finger" everyone's about the finger tattoos these days. Even I was...and I'm glad tattoo artists and others talked me out of it. They look like shit in a few weeks. There's a reason why tattoo artists won't do em unless you've already got tattoos. Getting a tattoo cause you saw it on tumblr is about the worst reason to get one.
9. "DIY pentagram garter" welcome, nu-goth person. I know you love garters. I should do a garter-centric post for you.
10. "Extrem septum" yeah, septums. I like em too.
What broad judgements can I make about the internet this month? well, body modification people are still researching their body mods or are looking for eye candy. That's a given. These kinds of decisions aren't to be taken lightly and the internet is really the best place to see these pictures. Also, nu-goth is here to stay, it seems.
Any of you watch your site stats? what are people searching for on your site?

Lavender helps to sleep and the scent is quite relaxing.
Some drops of Donna Karan Black Cashmere on the pillow are wonderful too.
Thanks for the draw!

I don't really wear fragrance too often to bed because I find it distracting, but I like to use soft musks like Cote Bastide Lin or BBW Cotton Blossom sometimes. Barbara Bui and Fleur Oriental (I'm not sure now if I have the EDT or the EDP) are two of my favorites, and they are both definite snuggly scents. I'd have to add Lea to the list too - yum!
I live in Charlotte although I lived most of my life in South Carolina, and it is amazing to me the number of Northern transplants we have here who are escaping the cold weather (among other reasons of course)I'm ready for some Spring weather!
Don't include me in the drawing since I already have Barbara Bui and Fleur Oriental. Thanks.

Heck yes I want to sample these! I always wear perfume to bed and I swear it helps me sleep better. Right now my favorite sleep scent is Un Bois Vanille.

My favorite sleep scent is LostMarch Lann-ael. It's so warm, comforting and familiar.

In cold weather, I love to sleep in Parfum Sacre, Shalimar Light, and Mariella Burani - though last night I drifted off in Le Temps d'une Fete. My summer sleep scents tend toward the light side of rose (YSL Paris Pont des Amours, PdR Rose d'Ete).
Have not smelled Fleur Oriental, but BB Le Parfum did absolutely nothin' for me... it was, how shall I say this? (whispers) dull.

I've developed a bad case of incensophilia (is that a word? It is now!), and wear Encens et Lavande to bed, and sometimes Fleurs d'Oranger. In fact, even orange blossom water will do in a pinch.

I love the Bui myself...I also love its sister scent Rykiel Woman (in edp). I also wear it to bed, with company prefered. (Narciso Musc for Her is another)
It's a pity that all the best things get discontinued.

Oh man, I would love to try the B. Bui especially. Last week I ordered a bottle from an Amazon seller and I really believe the bottle, the juice, the whole darn thing is a fake! The bottle is off center, there is some "gold" debris floating in it, and the stuff initially smells like alcohol, and more alcohol.
Anybody want to sell me a sample?

Oh, and I have been wearing Amoureuse, and Mariella Burani as sleep scents.

MY favorite sleep scent is No. 23 by Ava Luxe. Sandalwood, mostly, and oud and a touch of amber. When I wear it to bed it feels, to me, as if I am sleeping safe in the arms of the divine. (Oh good, I am not the only one who does this...)

I'll wear almost anything to bed -- night is often when I try out new scents. But I especially like musk and sweet scents for bedtime. One I've turned to lately is the masculine version of Lolita Lempicka (smooth licorice, vanilla and patchouli).

Hmmm. I generally avoid wearing scent to bed, as it can interfere with my sleep. (Occasionally positively, but generally as a distraction, which is not good for someone who can get "busy brain.") That said, there is one that I can and do occasionally wear to bed, quite happily: L'Heure Bleu.
I enjoy the MH Fleur Oriental, for much the same reasons you describe. In fact, it is on me right now. It's a friendly oriental, I think; enough to provide cozy, not so much as to cause you to fear claustrophobia.
I'm not laughing at your weather reaction. Everything is relative. Though, to give you a full dose of relative, I'm staring at the same 10ºF readout I saw three hours ago. That's as much as we're going to get, and it doesn't account for windchill. That's right; I'm enjoying my friendly cozy scent up here right now.

no need to enter me. I'm just wondering if anyone has smelled Rykiel's Woman (Not for a Man), also by Ann Flippo. I've heard that Bui and Woman are very similar and I'm just wondering what the similarities are. I've smelled Woman, but not Bui.

I don't really like to wear perfume to sleep. It distracts me. I have Rykiel's For Women and I really want to compare it to the Bui.

Someone asked me for this short paragraph from my sermon yesterday. I thought I might as well share it with you all, for what it's worth. I was focused on the 23rd chapter of Jeremiah, which speaks of the challenges of leadership and the power of the Living God to help us. I said, toward the end, these words:
"There is always hope, but it never comes without cost or pain or struggle. There is always a future, but never at the expense of our past. There is always Presence, but it is not always comforting and pleasant. There is always a way forward but it is never found by evasion or running away from the hard places."
They are my words, not a quote. They come from my experience of life, both the good and the disappointing parts of myself I've known. I hope they help you. Two other great quotes I used:
I heard an ad executive on Ted Talks say this: "Poetry makes new things familiar and familiar things new."
And this one from G. K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man "Christendom has had a series of revolutions and in each one of them Christianity has died. Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave." Don't worry so much when things get torn up.
Or, as Leonard Cohen said in his wonderful lyric, "Anthem,"
Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
Call and Response: Excerpt from Poems, Prayers and Unfinished Promises
In December, Mossy Creek Press released my new book, Poems, Prayers and Unfinished Promises. I have been so gratified by the readers' enthusiastic responses. From time to time, I want to share a few excerpts with readers. Since we are in the Lenten Season, I share this prayer, found on page 48:
A Prayer for the Beginning of Lent
As a Baptist kid in the South, I had never heard of Lent, but I understood "call and response" instinctively. Someone sings and you sing back to them. In southern gospel, it was often something the basses and altos did, little descants under the melody, like a man and woman when they really speak and hear each other's hearts. That's the Lenten journey to me—get quiet, listen and when you finally pick up the song, sing back. You really have to train your ear to hear it.
"By day the LORD commands his steadfast love and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. I say to God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk about mournfully because the enemy oppresses me?" As with a deadly wound in my body, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me continually, "Where is your God?" Why are you cast down, O my soul and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God." Psalm 42:8-11 NRSV
The Day Alabama Almost Died by Gary Furr Remembering April 27, 2011
Video still suspended on the internet, weathermen almost screaming fear and warning,
Maps lit up with horrible storms, bright, rotating monsters
And the skycams filming it
Dark rumbling cone of cloud, wider and firmer, roaring down,
Swallowing places we all recognized, this street corner, that road, this hospital and the University itself
Gobbled into darkness
We sat watching helplessly in what passes for our safe place
Terrified for people we know and can't call or get to
Just sat there, watching, listening, praying in a basement or a closet
Now it lives on YouTube and in children's nightmares
Fear comes out of nowhere, rumbling into a sunny place and wipes it out
We still remember . How can you forget 63 tornadoes,
Taking down a state a town at a time? Houses blown apart, unglued matchsticks
Flying everywhere. That was the picture everyone shared
But it's the million snapshots, most of them not taken
Sagging shoulders of an old man and his wife looking at the wreckage of sixty years
A family crying over photographs and precious pets and dead neighbors
Burying the body of a son or a mother or a friend
Who committed no crime against nature that took their life.
The foolish weakness of our lives pitted against something so vast that we shrank away
Our hearts melted, our schedules crashed, our computers went dead with no grid to hook to
Agendas changed, all the foolishness swept away into immediate priority
Only holding the people we love, finding the body of a lost daughter
Feeding a neighbor who was hungry and broke
Losing a job that blew away in a second. Going to church when it mattered
Listening for God when God seemed gone
Oh, we remember a million snapshots, of a child calling, "I'm okay," of a house that used to be
Where a neighbor and his wife died, their bodies snapped like twigs and tossed into an undignified heap
Diapers and receipts and toys and furniture, curtains and unrecognizable slivers, trashbags and deck chairs
Wood and metal and rope and canvas, slung in no pattern, no priority and with no respect for their value
Gone, gone, gone, a house, a town, a store where we shopped, a friend we knew,
A way of life we lived, a sense of safety with which we deluded ourselves
But some things still didn't blow away—faith and hope and love survived
Love for strangers fired up strong and woke us up to one another.
But we stood for a moment, blown away like the pieces of our lives and our world
Dazed, disbelief, daunted, discouraged, disheartened, darkened in soul
For just a moment, to take it in. We will never forget if we rebuild it all again
What happened that April day, when Alabama almost died.

Evaluation of Alternative Station Spacings for Rapid Transit Linesby Howard Permut, Sr. Transportation Planner; Regional Transportation Authority, Chicago, Ill.,
Serial Information: Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, 1978, Vol. 104, Issue 3, Pg. 311-321
Document Type: Journal Paper
An evaluation methodology to examine station placement strategies for proposed new rapid transit lines has been developed and applied to a proposed new rapid transit line in Chicago. The focus of the analysis is an empirical evaluation of the impacts of ½ mile (0.8 km) and 1 mile (1.6-km) station spacings. The alternatives are analyzed with respect to a series of criteria, including capital cost, operating cost, ridership attracted, and user impact (travel time and cost savings). The 1-mile (1.6-km) spacing is found to be superior with regard to all four evaluation criteria. An analysis of the sensitivity of the results shows that the dominance of the longer spacing is stable with respect to the major analytical assumptions. The report concludes that the 1-mile (1.6-km) spacing is better for the proposed line. In addition, there is an analysis of the transferability of both the empirical results and the evaluation methodology utilized.

The El Capris were a popular vocal group who performed at Harlem's Apollo Theatre and on the East Coast night club circuit from the 1950s through the 1970s. They recorded for several labels including Bullseye Records, Fee Bee, Ring-O, and Paris Records but never had a hit song. They were not heard on national radio, but fans came out of hear them sing for 16 years. Their recordings are now collected by Doo Wop enthusiasts. The El Capris's recording have been reissued on several compilation discs including "Rock & Roll Fee Bee" on the UK label Flyright in 1995, "Explosive Doo Wops" Vol. 4 on Buffalo Bop in 1999, "Las Vegas Grind", Pt. 6 in 2000, Rhythm & Blues Goes Rock 'n' Roll Volume 2 in 2002, and six of the volumes of the Pittsburgh's Greatest Hits series.
The El Capris formed as 13 year old teenagers in the Hill District of Pittsburgh in 1954. The original seven members were: Eddie Jackson (tenor), William Germany (baritone and conga drums), James Scott (first tenor), Theodore McCrary (second tenor), Leon Gray (baritone), Larry Hill (bass), and James Ward (bass and bongos). Their prize for winning a local talent show ion July 4th 1955 was an audition with Woody Henderling owned of Pittsburgh's Bullseye Records. Woody recorded them at the WHOD radio station studio and released their first single "(Shimmy Shimmy) Ko Ko Wop" / "Oh But She Did" in the March of 1956.
At a Pittsburgh sock hop they met Joe Averbach, owner of Fee Bee Records. Fee Bee was the Pittsburgh based label that released the Del Vikings national hit "Come Go With Me" in 1956. At Joe's request they recorded four songs. Fee Bee released the El Capris single "Your Star" / "Dance All Night" in 1957. They made their first appearance at the Apollo Theatre in 1957 to promote the single.
With only three original members left in 1958, (William Germany, Theodore McCrary, Leon Gray, and) they recruited two replacements: first tenor Percy Wharton and bass Sam Askue. The El Capris released the single "Ivy League Clean" / "They're Always Laughin' At Me" In November of 1958 on the New York based Paris label. They released the single "Safari" on the Ring-O label later in 1965. They never recorded again, but they kept appearing on the East Coast Night Club circuit until 1970 appearing at club like the ), the Uptown in Philadelphia and the Trianon in Chicago. Fee Bee re-released the"Your Star (EJ)" as a single with "To Live Again" in 1972.
The El Capris, with founding members William Germany and Eddie Jackson, have reunited for revival shows including a Doo Wop show on WQED in 1998.

The classic Iranian sweet-sour sauce works as well with veg as it does with poultry
Richly sweet, subtly sour, with a satisfying depth of flavour from ground walnuts: fesenjan is a tempting Persian stew traditionally eaten during the winter solstice. Northern Iran can get properly cold, and I suspect the varied climate has influenced some of the eclectic variations in Iranian cuisine. Imagine a place where your traditional winter dish is inspired by pomegranates – the sheer luxury of it.
Those jewelled seeds play a vital role in numerous Iranian dishes, but it's hard to think of a more enticing example than fesenjan. The full-bodied sauce is perfect for dull, chilly days when you want to forget the outdoors exists and fill yourself with food that warms both body and mind before you have to venture out.

Field Trial Shows the Potential of Enterprise Small Cells
By: Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Contributor
For large enterprises, small cells make a lot of sense.
Upwards of 80 percent of all mobile usage now occurs indoors, according to Alcatel-Lucent, and enterprise small cells deliver a flexible and economical way for reliable mobile connectivity in-building.
Recently a field trial held at a large financial institution in Mumbai showed the potential of enterprise small cells. Small cells bathed a 45,000-square-foot, all-glass office space with cellular connectivity that replaced an existing DAS and delivered a call drop rate of only 0.87 percent, an increase in average throughput of 42 percent, and a boost in peak throughput of 82 percent, according to a recent TechZine posting, Field insights: Deploy

I chose babies as my theme for the day. One of the teachers at the school that my children attend is having a baby and I volunteered to help with the baby shower! This has been lots of fun to put together. The mommy to be has chosen a different set of colors for her daughter's room. They are using gray on the walls and the bedding is being made out of several different patterns of material. I got a hold of the fabric and color coordinated as best I could to Stampin' Up! colors. The colors are Very Vanilla, Basic Gray, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Bermuda Bay (retired color) and Rich Razzleberry. The main fabric has flowers and butterflies in it and it has a vintage feel to it. I really wanted to work with what mom has picked out so those are the colors that I pulled out and started to create with! What a fun challenge this turned out to be.
My first project is the invitation! I love the way the onesie cards look so that's what I decided to create. Here's my card:
Only 15 more to go!
Then I created a favor to give out at the shower. When I showed it to my husband, he didn't know what it was but I'm guess you will all figure it out! Once I told him, then he got it but he really did NOT see it! My girls did but he didn't. MEN! Anyway, here's my favor.

Yep, that's a diaper! Silly man! I have 5 Hershey's nugget wrapped with DSP in a little baggie in the diaper. I only need 28 more of these! Anyone want to come and help? Always willing to stamp with someone! I'll even pay you in CHOCOLATE!
Last I really wanted to make a diaper cake. I have seen them all over the Internet but never had a reason to create one. I bought a package of diapers and rolled them while at school doing my study hall supervision job. Boy were the 7th graders confused when I walked in with a box of diapers! Got them all rolled and then came home and put together my cake!
I will post instructions and recipes on everything that I made on Monday or Tuesday. The baby shower isn't until the end of April so I'm hoping to make a banner and some Thank you cards to go with these goodies. Stay tuned to see how far I make it!
Happy Stampin'!
