Stupid Chocolates
Dear Lindt,
I hate you.
A Letter to the Good People at Lindt Chocolate:
Dear Lindt,
My wife and I went to visit her grandmother this weekend. Her grandmother is currently in a rehab center after having her hip replaced.* While we were there, Grandma offered us each a Lindt Lindor truffle. She directed us toward a container in her room and said, "they're for my visitors." I politely declined. I do not eat chocolates all that often and certainly not on a muggy day like it was when we visited. My wife declined as well. After the further insistance of her grandmother, my wife finally relented, while I still said I did not want one. She said, "But, they're for visitors!" which was my cue to just take one even if I didn't want one. I was just trying to make my hostess happy. I stashed it the breast pocket of my shirt so I wouldn't forget it. My wife even said to her grandmother that we would save them for dessert after our lunch, which seemed like as good a time as any to eat this chocolate that I didn't really want.
After the visit, on our way out of the rehab center, my wife gave me her chocolate and said it had already started to soften while in her purse. That should have been my first clue. I held both chocolates in my hand, knowing that I couldn't forget about them or they would melt. When we got to the car, I put them in one of the cupholders in my center console, and promptly forgot about them. That would prove to be a big mistake.
Several days later, (yesterday) I embarked on a three-hour drive to the office for work. I settled my stuff into the car, including my water bottle, which I dutifully placed in the unoccupied cup holder in the car. After a stop at Dunkin' Donuts, where I had bought a chocolate milk, I did some shuffling, which ultimately resulted in the chocolates moving to the passenger seat and my water bottle moving to where the chocolates had been.
It's important to note that, in order to get to the office on time, I had to leave the house before 6:00am. It was dark out for the first half of my trip. I couldn't see much inside the car while I got my stuff settled.
Somewhere during my trip, I realized that there was chocolate on the passenger seat. At that point, it occurred to me that the chocolates had melted and moved around on the seat. Nothing to worry about - the seat is leather and everything cleaned up with a moist napkin. I was frustrated by this, but I disposed of the chocolates and that problem was solved...
Until I left the highway. My sunglasses had a smudge on them, so, when I stopped at the first traffic light, I went to clean them off with my shirt. At that point, I noticed that there was chocolate all over my lap. My first thought was that I had settled the chocolates on my lap for some reason before moving them to the passenger seat. It seemed odd that I hadn't gotten any on my hands, though.
Soon I came to the realization that the problem was in the cup holder. Over the course of a few days, the truffles had melted significantly enough to form a nice little layer of chocolate. As the car warmed up, so did the pool, liquifying it into my own personal mobile fondue pot, and getting it all over the bottom of my water bottle.
Ironically, as I had used the water bottle to moisten the napkin to clean the chocolate off of the passenger seat, I rested it on my lap several times, covering myself with even more chocolate. By the time I realized where the chocolate was coming from, I was coated in it. In my efforts to clean myself off (using more water) I managed to have a giant wet spot on my lap and a bunch of giant brown splotches to go with it. Not how I want to present myself at work.
Why? All because I took one of your stupid chocolates that I didn't even want in the first place. Over the years, life's little lessons have programmed me with instincts that I can't even explain, only to learn WHEN I IGNORE THEM that those instincts serve an important purpose. I knew that I wouldn't follow through on throwing out the chocolates. I knew I'd forget about them. So, I tried to nip it in the bud, but nooo - I have to be polite. Forget politeness. I'm following my instincts from now on.
So, the next time somebody insists that I have a Lindt Chocolate, I'm going to say no anyway.
I just thought you'd want to know that.
*I feel comfortable discussing this online because my wife's grandmother will never ever see this. If you know her grandmother, please refrain from mentioning this story. The stress of it may set her back in her recovery from surgery. You wouldn't want to cause harm to a kind elderly woman, would you? WOULD YOU???

Early Sunday morning, November 21, a 28-year-old woman who worked as a correctional officer was found shot to death in a friend's home in east Baltimore, reports The Baltimore Sun. She died from her gunshot wounds later that day.
The morning before, Saturday, November 20, her neighbors reported that the woman and her live-in boyfriend got into a loud argument at approximately 4:30 a.m. Police were called to the scene to stop the domestic dispute. Neighbors report that the woman then left to stay at a friend's. When detectives searched her apartment for clues the next day, they discovered blood on the door. Believing the killer was inside, they called hostage negotiators and blocked off the street. After a three-hour standoff, it was determined the apartment was empty.
Many of the woman's neighbors had known her since she was a young girl and are stricken by grief and shock. Officially, police have not stated whether the woman's boyfriend is a suspect in the Baltimore murder case, but they do report that they have not yet spoken with him. The woman had a three-year-old daughter from a previous relationship who is now with family members.
According to the Maryland Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention, 2009 saw a decrease in most crimes in the state. Overall, the 215,921 crimes reported was the lowest number ever reported. There was a 10.8 percent decrease in murder statewide. Violent crimes were the lowest since 1979, with 33,626 incidents reported. In Baltimore, there was a 4.6 percent decrease in total crime. Regarding violent crime, there was a 20.3 percent decrease. However, that still amounts to 4,555 violent crimes reported in 2009.
In murder investigations, individuals can wrongfully accuse someone of a violent crime when emotions run high amidst a lot of tension. While justice should be served, police officials, detectives and prosecutors need to be wary of charging the wrong person with a violent crime. Being accused of murder can seriously alter a person's life, making it difficult for them to maintain relationships with family and friends, and impact whether they are able to find work. If convicted, they could spend years behind bars.
If you have been accused of a violent crime in Maryland, you need to ensure your rights are protected and your case is accurately represented in a court of law. The Maryland murder defense attorneys at Alpert Schreyer, LLC will build a strong case and aggressively defend your rights. Call us today at1-866-444-6363 for a free and confidential consultation.

text: Can you help?! I've got a '67 S1 2+2 and after about 30 minutes of driving, it starts to cut in and out intermittently as if the petrol is failing to get through or an there is an electrical short. There is no difference when the choke is in or out, and it isn't the breather pipe from the fuel tank. When I drove it in wet and cold whether, it didn't do it as opposed to the summer when it happens every time. Electrical possibly? But what and where?! I need a few pointers otherwise it's an expensive trip to the garage. Thanks for reading.

Poznan: Republic of Ireland should have two stalwarts back in the line-up for their first match at Euro 2012 in goalkeeper Shay Given and defender John O`Shea.
Given had been struggling with back and calf issues, but has returned to full training and is set to add to his 122 caps on Sunday, while O`Shea proved his fitness in the recent 0-0 friendly draw with Hungary by playing the full 90 minutes.
Danien Duff and Aiden McGeady will look to add width to Ireland`s attack from the wings, but youngster James McClean will also be hoping for some minutes after an impressive campaign with Sunderland.
However, coach Giovanni Trapattoni must decide whether to go with five midfielders or add a partner for veteran striker Robbie Keane up front.
Meanwhile, Croatia boss Slaven Bilic will have to do without the services of Bayern Munich striker Ivica Olic, who will miss the duration of the tournament with a thigh injury. His place in attack should be taken by the in-form Nikica Jelavic.
Additionally, Olympique Lyonnais centre-back Dejan Lovren and Hamburg midfielder Ivi Illicevic have also been ruled out of the finals due to injury problems.
Nonetheless, there was some good news for Bilic as defender Vedran Corluka passed a late fitness test and is expected to be in the starting XI, so captain Dario Srna should feature in midfield rather than at right-back.

I was given a good excuse today to put some of the newer video search options through a stiff user test. My wife is a massive fan of the Fox TV medical drama 'House '. Starring as the lead character is English actor Hugh Lawrie. Back in the UK, Lawrie is more famous for his comedic character acting and plummy English public school accent.
A culture shock for me then trying to take him seriously with the American accent that is layered on thickly for his latest character Dr. Gregory House, after spending years watching him make me laugh hysterically in 'Jeeves and Wooster'. Getting to the point, I thought this would be an excellent challenge to try and find a clip from 'Jeeves and Wooster' to prove to my wife that yes indeed, he really was English.
We simply entered, Jeeves and Wooster in the search box and waited.
Engines Running…
Yahoo's much vaunted updated video search was first. Four results and bingo, a clip with Hugh. Unbelievably the clip with him is from a Russian P.G Wodehouse fan site and is dubbed in Russian.
The AOL owned Singing Fish (also used by MSN for their video search) turned up two results, one a ringtone. Blinkx TV had nothing, their TV search and archive was limited to mainly US programmes. The new Google Video search option fared no better returning one result, a mention in a news clip.
Where too next ? Alta Vista and All The Web are both now owned by Yahoo and as such returned the same four results as their owners. And here's where the options start to get thinner on the ground, outside of trawling P2P networks.
Talk of tentative connections (or is it degrees of separation, now we're bombarded by social networks?). 'Jeeves and Wooster' was based on characters, Reginald Jeeves and Bertie Wooster from P.G Wodehouse books. He is the quintessential "gentleman's personal gentleman" and is Wodehouse's most famous character and also where search engine Ask Jeeves sourced their name.

What are Leprechauns?
Leprechauns are mythical characters mostly seen in stories particularly in Irish mythology and folklore. Illustrations show them to be old men distinguished by their beard and hat. Some show them wearing red coat while others say they are wearing green, depending on where the story is set.
Although it has the appearance of an old man, a leprechaun is said to be very small, not even taller than a little child. He is also said to be solitary but enjoys playing pranks. And when captured by humans, a leprechaun offers to grant three wishes, trading in for his freedom.

Emerald Island Casino recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary. In that 10 years the casino has become a part of the history of Downtown Henderson, Nevada. The beginning history of Henderson started with the war effort of World War II and the Basic Magnesium, Inc.
Magnesium, symbol Mg with the atomic number 12, is classified under the alkaline earth metals. It plays an important part for animal and plant life here on earth. The human body requires about 0.3g of magnesium per day. The plants' chlorophyll that is used to convert carbon dioxide to glucose contains magnesium.
Magnesium is a metal element that is said to be the seventh most abundant element on earth and the eighth most abundant element found in the universe. Aside from being an essential element in plant and animal life, magnesium also played an important role during the World War II. It was called the 'wonder metal'. Magnesium was used in alloys together with aluminum for purposes of airplane construction. In addition to that, it was used in flares and ammunitions. There is an abundance of magnesium in the seawater that is why such seawater became the source or
magnesium used for bombs during World War II. Thus, with all these, it is safe to assume that magnesium became an important element during the era of World War II. Being that important, it became in demand.

Well i wanted to share with everyone the surprise phone call I received. So I went to disney jan 31st to feb 7th and While i was there, there was ups and downs with things. So I was told to please write because disney needs to know ups and downs. So in the email I was telling them that we went to crystal palace, and the chef took an hour an half to come talk to my dad because he is allergic to orange juice. After alot of miscommunications she had with the waiter, it took an hour and a half. She felt so bad and gave us fass passes to any 2 rides that we wanted. The funniest part of that is because my mom was in a wheelchair, no one would except it. So i went on and explained other things but also said i wish i could get a copy of the recipe for the pineapple pancakes at ohana because they were the best. Well needless to say that i got a call, and i now have fast passes for 2 rides for anyone in my group for any 2 rides in any of the parks, and she is getting someone to email me the recipe for those delicious pancakes. I was so shocked. I said to her that i was not looking for anything, in fact, i was just writing because I was told too.
Anyone else get stuff like this, from an email.

A condominium is similar to an apartment with the actual difference being that the costs of caring for such things are paid for by all of the individual owners from association dues and assessments.
The biggest pro of living in such a dwelling lies in not having the responsibility of taking care of such things as lawn maintenance and other forms of maintenance that are an inherent part of home ownership. A Singapore Property is truly a carefree life and frequently has expensive amenities you can not inexpensively find in a single family dwelling, such as swimming pools, gyms and clubhouses.
There are various cons to living in condos. All condos have rules on how you may act. Some do not allow pets, exterior decorations and old junk cars. Also a condo IS an apartment, and as such you must be conscious of any behavior on your part which may disturb your neighbors.
If you're looking to purchase a condo for investment purposes, in addition, there are a couple of pros and cons you must know about ahead of time. This report will tell you about a number of them so you can make an informed decision about rather condo investing is right for you.
One of the biggest experts to owning a condominium is the resell value. Condos are very popular and a home in the right area can bring a premium in either resale values or rental prices. If you want additional hints about highline residences then you are at right place. Check out http://www.sgnewcondolaunch.com.sg/property/highline-residences-at-district-3/.
Reduced Purchase Price
Even if the condominium is in an area with very high property values it is going to be not as expensive to buy then a typical single family home. However, as a rental unit a condo will bring in the exact same or very near the exact same amount in rent as homes will.
The restrictions on pets and other things that are inherent to a condominium and rigorously enforced help to maintain the property value of the home. There will be no junk cars, broken down washing machines, or overgrown yards to be worried about when it's time to resell the unit.
Cost sharing
If you happen to find a great deal for a condo that needs a few important repairs sharing the cost with others helps a lot.
Most condos offer excellent amenities you can't find in one family dwelling. Things like fully equipped gyms, swimming pools, golf courses, and tennis courts that you do not need to do maintenance on are great perks in regards to leasing or reselling the property.

Dalian, China
Entrance: The first thing we noticed when we entered Shambhala was the soothing sound of water trickling in a small fountain. There is a beautiful stairway to the right of the entrance and three tables by the windows to the left.
Greeting: Upon entering we were immediately greeted by several of the tea servers. And since our sister Nicki is a regular, they showed us the private rooms that were available. We had the priviledge of enjoying tea at Shambhala on three occasions and selected two different private rooms on our first two visits and sat at a table on the main floor on our third visit.
Service: Our tea server gave us a menu and lemon water upon arriving in our room. In each room there is a sing call button so that you can page your server should you need anything. The server kindly waits with you while you select your tea. We are certain our server would have reviewed the tea options with us if we spoke better Chinese, but thankfully there is some English on the menu.
Presentation: One of our favorite pieces of the tea service are the doileys with embroidered fabric coasters resting on top - each is brightly colored and ornately stitched. We loved the infusion process with the Shambhala Chinese black tea - pouring the tea from the tea pot through a sieve and into a serving pitcher - it added a fun element to the tea experience.
Table decor: All the tea accroutrements were delightful including the bowl where we rested the sieve and the darling stir spoons with porcelain floral handles.
Aesthetics: There is not enough space on our blog to discuss the Shambhala aesthetic. The Shambhala has four floors of tea rooms and each private room is uniquely decorated in Tibetan decor. The two private rooms we were seated in were amazing. The walls in one of the rooms are covered in beautiful gold floral fabric with an accent wall in red floral fabric. The ceilings have ornate gold detailing as do the cupboards. No detail has been missed in the tea rooms. The Tibetan decor made us feel like we were having tea in a grand museum.
Tea Quality: The Shambhala Chinese Black Tea was delicious even after several infusions. The looseleaf tea held its flavor well. The Chinese Date Tea was excellent and as an added plus it is good for your skin.
Tea Variety: Shambhala offered 16 varieties of tea - 5 Chinese teas, 5 English herb teas and 6 Shambhala health teas.
Food: Shambhala appears to offer a selection of food which is listed in the menu in Chinese characters, so we did not partake in the food. We noticed other tables with delicious fruit platters, but were content with the light tea biscuits we brought from Bread Talk (another of Dalian's delightful shops).
Music: The private rooms allow you to control the volume of the Tibetan music that is playing - you can turn the music off entirely or listen at your desired volume. We loved the Tibetan music and it added to our overall enjoyment of the tea. Nicki purchased a Tibetan cd since she loved the music at Shambhala so much - she tried to purchase a cd at Shambhala but unfortunately they do not sell cds of their music :(
Lighting: You can control the lighting in the private rooms and make the lighting as dim or bright as you like. There are curtains in the windows that you can draw or open as well.
Bathroom: We were able to experience a traditional Chinese water closet with beautiful marble floor. The lovely Tibetan decor extended into the lou.
Take Aways: The sweet manager gave us each a set of four book marks designed with different Tibetan artwork and decor.
Price: The tea is priced by the pot or cup. The price per pot of tea ranges from low to high depending on the type of tea you select.
We wish Shambhala sold their teas or had a gift shop because we so loved everything in their tea house and wanted to buy a souvenir. Luckily we were able to find pillow covers and coasters that were reminiscent of Shambhala's decor at Da Cai Shi (an endless indoor Chinese market where you can find any and every Chinese souvenir you could ever want!).

The No. 22 Minnesota women's soccer team took an early lead and never looked back en route to a 2-1 NCAA Tournament first-round victory over Marquette Friday night at Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium in St. Paul. Kelsey Hood and Julie Rezac notched the first-half scores to give the Gophers (21-3-0) their first NCAA victory since 1999.
"The hardest win in the tournament is the first one," said Minnesota head coach Mikki Denney Wright. "We haven't been here before, and I was really proud with how we handled the game. The way we killed off the game at the end really showed a lot of composure."
With the win, the Gophers will move on to face upstart South Dakota State (15-4-1) in Sunday's second round match at Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium for a chance to advance in the NCAA Tournament. The Jackrabbits knocked off regional fourth seed Colorado 1-0 in the opening match of the day. Minnesota has never made it past the second round in six NCAA appearances during the program's 16-year history.
Hood (who also celebrated her 22nd birthday Friday) got the scoring started just 7:54 into the first half, bringing the announced crowd of 776 to its feet. Lindsey Schwartz's free kick sailed into the box, and after a shot was deflected by the Marquette goalkeeper, Hood knocked home her first goal of the season.
Just under seven minutes later, the Gophers struck again. Clare Grimwood sailed a high cross just outside the goal box, where a waiting Rezac headed the ball past former Gopher and current Golden Eagle keeper Chelsey Turner.
"I think it definitely helped us confidence-wise, to get that early lead," said Schwartz. "Getting up two goals in the first 10-15 minutes really puts a lot of pressure on them. There were some parts that got scary, but we responded really well."
Faced with the deficit, Marquette went on the offensive in the second half. The Golden Eagles outshot the Golden Gophers 6-4 in over the match's final 45 minutes (12-9 for the match) and scored their lone goal with 15:15 remaining. Katie Kelly's free kick sailed into a scrum in front of the goal before being snuck past Dare by Allison McBride.
The goal came in the midst of what was an extremely aggressive second half. Dare and the Gophers successfully defended a yellow-card induced free kick at the top of the penalty box in the 55th minute, and five such cards were issued in the second half, three of them to Marquette.
"It was really chippy out there," said Rezac about the physical nature of Friday's match. "Both teams really wanted it, and so we just went in hard to every tackle, as you can tell by all the yellow cards out there."
Marquette's last gasp came with just 15 seconds remaining, when Michelle Compty's open shot at goal from the top of the penalty box was corralled by Dare.
Minnesota's goals were its only two shots on goal the entire match; Marquette keepers Turner and Natalie Kulla did not record a single save.
Their first NCAA test passed, Minnesota will face an unlikely foe in their second round match-up - the surprising Jackrabbits of South Dakota State. The Summit League champions earned their conference's first-ever NCAA victory in their win over Colorado.
The Gophers defeated SDSU 2-0 in Brookings, S.D. in early September and are 3-0-1 against the Jackrabbits all-time. Sunday's match is set to begin at 1 p.m. in St. Paul.
"We know each other so well, and that makes it so difficult," said Denney Wright about Sunday's match. "They are very tough to score on - the key for us is going to be finishing chances against that team."

See what korean Lost Ark Community Manager Risha has experienced during CBT2.
Hello, adventurers!
It's [CM] Risha.
The second round of closed beta testing has passed in a blink of an eye.
As the busy days are over, I was looking at the screenshots one by one , sorting out the feedback you gave me.
Lets see what the adventurers have gone through in the 10 days of testing together, shall we?
01. Lost Ark Second Closed Beta Walkthrough
First you started off in your class' starting zone, I've chose to play Summoner and started in Rohendel, one of the new zones in the game.
When the adventurers finished their prologue quests, they ended up in Leon Heart.
As you finished the first closed beta contents, at around level 30 you got to the new fight scene and the Windy Cliff.
Many adventurers told me that the scene in Windy Cliff with Aman was very emotional.
At the end of the story missions in east Lutheran, you will reach the Lucerne port!
As you hear the sounds of seagulls and the ocean waves, it makes you feel like you are already sailing.
Most of the adventurers who left the port of Lucerne was going for Tortoyk Island.
The scenery of Tortoyk on user submitted screenshots. This place is full of cute stories about the Mokko villagers.
We are all ladybugs here~
And here is Caspian in the forest who was a really popular field boss during the beta.
After finishing with helping the villagers in Tortoyk , adventurers moved to the home of fighters, Anich!
This really oriental place was in a full swing because of the ongoing Tournament.
Did you become the new hero of ChangChun by defeating the champion of the arena?
I was often just fishing in ChangChun at the fishing spot.
In the valley of life and death, Banda was waiting for the adventurers with his black and white illusions.
After hunting down the horrific Chuo, an oriental field boss in ChangChun, adventurers left the island.
This is the town of Arthetine, full of professional mechanic engineers. There were various malfunctioning machines around Arthetine being hostile to anyone crossing their sight.
There were enemies waiting for the adventurers at the top of Air Gates.
Players faced challenging dungeons such as the Heart of Keuratereu.
Do you still remember the story of the adventurers who took the icebreaker to Shushire?
The cold continent Shushire was suffering, they needed help.
This is an adventurer ringing the bell to announce the arrival of a new dawn.
After finishing the contents of CBT2, players collected pieces of the ark.
This is the Arc of Hope from Shushire in the Trision Gate.
In order to fight againt commander Sigmund, I also finished the story in Bern.
02. The Voyage content and the islands
I was amazed of the passion and creativity of the adventurers.
This is the story of sailing where your adventure got interesting.
[This is the world map]
This map was posted by an adventurer on the tester boards.
It shows all the islands on the ocean, except Metus Island which is hidden in the corner of a Level 4 Storm. It took a long time to appear on the map.
[Trona Island]
This is a very small island protected by a powerful boss monster, Aurion.
When Aurion appears it gets difficult to leave the island.
Crowds gathered in the front of Trona to form raid groups.
[Ice Maze Island]
On the right, that is a map of the island by user 'Oxygen Drop/산소방울' and the map/escape plan on the left was drawn by user '장금2'.
[Island of Fire and Ice]
Brierose is a field boss on the island of Fire and Ice, who was really hard to down,
many raid groups failed at first, but as the test days were gone by people got stronger.
[Island of Time]
I really enjoyed fishing on this island.
[Meteora Island]
A massive meteorite fell on the island of Meteora, adventurers were going strong at hitting the meteorite.
After a while the meteorite has broke, adventurers did a great job
There was a strange conversation going on between the adventurers who were hitting it for hours.
(I couldn't figure out myself what the meteorite was in Meteora)
And at the last minutes of CBT2 many people visited Meteora again.
[Metus Island]
The adventurers who conquered the horror island appeared one after another.
You have to go around every corning of the Wemer's mansion to find all the clues with just your lantern and a few candles laying around.
(I never finished it…)
[Valley of Death]
The last day of testing and only the Valley of Death was not explored by me.
I took notes of the adventurers, but the PvP and the field boss difficulty was very hard.
03. Until the day we meet again!
After completing the second closed beta test, on the final day the game masters who were hiding appeared in front of the players and joined the fun.
Thank you everyone for your positive feedback!
Dance party!
([GM]Pocky told me that he was very confused and out of timing)
Leon Heart world event with dancing lions.
Those who gathered at the meteorite on Meteora island and those who were partying in Rohendel.
(Rattling noises)
I would like to thank all the adventurers who made the second closed beta an unforgettable memory for me!
Our team at Lost Ark is dedicated to helping adventurers have fun, encourage and reward their feedback.
We all look forward to meeting you again!
Until the day we meet again,
Thank you.

SLAM! Sports
SLAM! Soccer
World Cup
Thursday, June 15, 2000
B.C. midfielder savours Swiss title(CP) -- Daniel Imhoff grew up dreaming of sipping champagne from the Stanley Cup. But the 22-year-old from Smithers, B.C., found himself drinking from a different trophy 8,500 kilometres around the world.
FC St. Gallen, Imhoff's soccer team, recently won the Swiss league championship for the first time in 96 years.
"It was unreal," Imhoff said from his family home in Smithers during a short break from soccer. "All the games were sold out at home and after the final game we had 20,000 to 30,000 people in the downtown core celebrating with us.
"It wasn't just the two, it was the whole region celebrating. It was quite something."
The Swiss season finished June 7 but FC St. Gallen had clinched the title some three weeks before.
"It's the greatest experience I've had so far," said Imhoff, who was born in Switzerland to Swiss parents but grew up in Canada. "I won the Canadian university CIAU title with UVic (Victoria) a few years back but it doesn't even come close to what goes on over there."
The club is located in St. Gallen, about a hour from Zurich in the northeastern, German-speaking part of Switzerland.
Imhoff, a defensive midfielder who first came to Switzerland two years ago, played in every game but two since joining the club in February. He has started about half of those contests.
The Swiss title means a berth in the qualifying rounds of the prestigious Champions League cup competition.
FC St. Gallen, founded in 1879, will have to win one qualifying series and could be drawn against some big-name European clubs in the championship.
Imhoff, who counts Manchester United's Roy Keane as his favourite player, went to Switzerland after sending a resume to a club named Wil. They invited him over for a tryout, which led to a job.
Manager Marcel Koller left Wil for FC St. Gallen and eventually bought Imhoff.
"He's had a huge influence on my career," Imhoff said of the Swiss manager. "We don't have any superstars but he somehow got us all together. I think the biggest part of us winning was the coach."
St. Gallen is a multinational squad. Apart from Gallen, there are strikers from Ghana (Charles Amoah) and Romania (Ionel Gane) and midfielders from Brazil (Jairo and Guido).
Imhoff arrived in Switzerland in the summer of '98 but had to put soccer on hold after tearing his ACL in a motorcycle accident.
"It was totally unlucky," he said. "I was borrowing somebody's motorbike to drive home from practice one evening and a car swerved across into my lane and hit me head-on.
"I was lucky it was just my knee and it wasn't anything more serious. Still it cost me a good eight months of my life."
Imhoff has played one game for Canada at the Pan American Games last summer but that's the extent of his contribution to the national team program.
"I'm not even sure if they know that I'm over there," he said.
Last week, St. Gallen finally got its championship trophy, taking it from the stadium to downtown in an open bus.
"It was just like the Stanley Cup parade," he said. "It was pretty much unreal."
And while it wasn't Lord Stanley's mug, the champagne was still sweet.
"It tasted pretty good coming out of there."
The Swiss season resumes July 15 so Imhoff is heading back to Switzerland this Saturday after a vacation of just eight days, two of which were taken up by travelling.
The first Champions League qualifying game will be in August.
The 36-game Swiss season is divided into two portions with a lengthy winter break. Last season, the team trained in South Africa during the layoff.
Notes: Dwayne DeRosario scored a goal and was named man of the match as the Richmond Kickers of the A-League upset the visiting Colorado Rockies of the MLS 3-0 Wednesday night in the second round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Canadian midfielder Jason Bent came on for the Rapids as a substitute ... The Toronto Inferno (3-3) of the W-League host the Ottawa Fury (3-2) tonight in a key Northern Division matchup at Birchmount Stadium ... The Inferno's Tanya Franck returns to the women's national team for the Gold Cup tournament in the U.S. later this month, as does Charmaine Hooper.

Today I lead a walk entitled "Going for Gold" an attempt to see fifty species of birds on a two hour walk at Blashford Lakes. It was one of the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust's Fiftieth Anniversary Events, hence the fifty bird target. I had thought it would be not too hard to achieve, but the weather at the start was awful, rain and very poor visibility. The conditions had reduced the original starting line up of sixteen to only nine hardy souls by the time we got going at the Tern hide at 10 o'clock. So how did we do? A list, in approximately the order we saw them is below.
At the Tern hide we got:
1. tufted duck
2. coot
3. great crested grebe
4. goldeneye
5. pintail
6. cormorant
7. great black-backed gull
8. herring gull
9. little grebe
10. lapwing
11. black-tailed godwit
12. jackdaw
We then walked across to the Woodland hide, and on the way saw:
13. song thrush
14. bullfinch
15. mallard
As soon as we entered the Woodland hide we were surrounded by birds and added:
16. chaffinch
17. brambling
18. goldfinch
19. greenfinch
20. lesser redpoll
21. siskin
22. blue tit
23. great tit
24. long-tailed tit
25. nuthatch
26. blackbird
27. coal tit
28. dunnock
29. collared dove
30. great spotted woodpecker
31. robin
32. reed bunting
33. pheasant
We then headed down to the to the Ivy South hide, the rain had finally stopped and on the silt pond beside the path we added:
34. mute swan
35. gadwall
36. wigeon
From the Ivy South hide:
37. pochard
38. black-headed gull
39. shoveler
40. goosander
41. jay
42. teal
So still nine short of our target we set off to the Ivy North hide, with a hope of adding bittern. En route we added:
43. woodpigeon
44. carrion crow
45. wren (this was actually only heard singing very loudly right beside us, but we could not see it).
We entered the Ivy North hide still six short, but there were one or two more easy additions:
46. moorhen
47. smew (a bonus this, both of them swam past just beyond the reeds)
48. bittern (on a roll now)
49. grey heron
With one to go we left the hide and started to walk back to the main car park and just behind the hide on the lichen heath saw two,
50. redwing.
So we had done it, now it got easy, we had great views of,
51. treecreeper
on a tree just in front of us near the gate just after we had crossed the road and finally just on the edge of the car park our last bird.
52. buzzard, sat in a tree.
Despite pretty grim conditions, especially at the start, we had reached the target and only slightly over time.
In the afternoon I was in Wimbourne doing a talk about the reserve, in the very warm and dry and there was tea and biscuits as well.
At the end of the day I was back at Blashford. The 2 black-necked grebe had been seen again on Ibsley Water, one each from the Goosander and Lapwing hides. When I locked up I once again saw the bittern at the Ivy North hide, where I also heard a Cetti's warbler.

It's been a long time since I said anything...some things have happened, I suppose.
The Homecoming game/dance weren't too bad...they were actually quite fun, to be honest. And the college I visited turned out to be epic and it's the one I'm definitely going to go to, so I'm feeling a lot better about that.
I've cleaned a lot today, but that's good, cos that means I'll have more money. I'm going shopping with my friends tomorrow, mostly to TJ Maxx and Barnes and Noble. I'm excited.
For now I've got Mountain Dew and Doctor Who (look at that, I made a rhyme), so I'm all set. And that's pretty much all I feel like writing at the moment, which is kind of pathetic. Ah well.
Bonne nuit!

Vasilescu: La Craiova's shelter under EU rules
The translation is via Google translator and is not perfect. Here is the original report.
The declared intention of euthanasia all stray dogs in the city, the mayor of Turnu Severin, Romania managed to recapture the headlines in the West. In "The reality REPORT" Mayor Constantin Gheorghe spoke about the situation of stray dogs and denied that the pictures shown are from Drobeta Turnu Severin. Vasilescu Olguţa Craiova Mayor pointed out that 2,000 people are bitten by stray dogs in the city each year he leads.
"At Turnu Severin are also images on this post were British. Who wants can come to shelters. And one important detail: the streets of the city are few stray dogs," the mayor said. Asked if he strays from Drobeta Turnu Severin will be euthanized, the mayor said: "So far, law enforcement rules did not appear so I can not do anything. Whoever said that one month, one day we will live to euthanize dogs is totally wrong was a misinterpretation of my statements. did not kill any dog before, I hope you do not kill any from here because we have a good shelter in place ".
Vasilescu Olguţa Craiova Mayor denied that shocking images circulating on Facebook would be sheltered from Craiova. "Not in our house. La Craiova is a shelter under EU rules. images shown do not know where , I saw on Facebook, saying that abused and killed dogs with bats to do. shelter to do is shut for years. ordinary are lies. Did you say that we allow NGOs to adopt dogs. Ba Yes, we allow them to adopt dogs provided they have a shelter where to take them or to come up with evidence that they send to these countries. because otherwise I wake up with them again in the street. never want to see them in the street . I have a very serious problem in Craiova. 2,000 people are bitten by dogs each year. dogs of 10,000, this means that almost 25% of them are aggressive and bite. know how much treatment for people bitten? 4 milliard. I call Craiova to all who want to come to the shelter adopt adopt. But do not throw them in the street. We have a regulation that is very tough. If you get a dog and get back on the street, paying £ 2,500, "he Vasilescu said.

"She's a frozen fire "
Oh American noooo wave. I do love it and have been particularly partial to it of late, why, it's almost usurped my partiality for the old Napoleon pastry.
May (sweet, sexy, mystical and kinda humble: why I do declare that you are the subjunctive, the nanny figallilly of tenses, yours Kel Richards) I just table right here right now that my enjoyment of the US new wave is not born of some cocking, wacky, zany, hankering to be D I F F E R E N T, or what Hilda Rumpole would term a "character" nor am i suffering from some like retro virus. I just really loik it OK for it is fun and the lyrics, particularly those by the Cars, are rather pleasurable.
The Cars lyrics and their general quest for the rhyme surpasses that of Rod Stewart (and that IS impressive.) It's tops. I wonder if Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr's first language at hoame was Czech for the lyrics are very Velvet Revolution; possibly as interpreted by Tom Stoppard but not as hammily delivered as by that ridiculous Matthew Newton . (OH what was the buzz about that violent podge?! - and am I being post-post modern in an ignoramous void i.e. ludicrous attempt to conceal severe lacunes in my general knowledge - oh desist inner dialogue and just let me b l o g).
The Cars were also baby boomin noo wavers not your gen jones variety, so probably influenced by hippy trippy imagery to boot. And dude, talk about influential: I suspect that you're all i've got tonight was the prototype for Huey Lewis and the news' (not power of love, you cynic!) but Stuck with you. The Cars jumped the shark with Drive. Jesus that song, that fillum clilp!! (I know i've banged on and blogged about it soo many times before but lawks!!!!)
Sad, institootionalised mental chicks ARE NOT sexy OK, yours T. Abbott.
Then Vicodina Ryder and Avatarina Jolie adapted the Drive fillum clip to the silver screen (Moue moue uninterrupted) for which Jolie won an Oscar. How'd you be? An Edward Lear Jumblie crossed with James Cameron Avatar as sex symbol channelling Mama Mia Farrow on kiddie shoppin' sprees in Indochine and Afrique and doing very nicely thanking you bulkly.
Um feeble carriage return to even feebler new wave musings...
The singer from the Knack joined Benjamin Orr in North American new waver heaven the other day.
I think that the first lp by the Knack was the first lp which I bought and deemed a complete and utter dud (Look just step off, The Seekers live at the Talk of the Town is a goddamn marvel!!). It was quite an upsetting experience (more so than Judy Durham stalking me in the 90's) as i really wanted to like it but couldn't....
D I L E M M A but not quite of the Mary McGregor variety. I thought I was guttted until the following year I bought that Emotional Rescue lp and well I actually lost my faith in Stonesy for the rest of my adolescence; when i actually voiced my disgust i felt such guilt and anguish. It was nice once to be almost sweet and intense about something, yours Lord Harry Wotton. Still I rather like that title song now......Had better get myself to the youtubery to watch it for i am an audiovisualiste these daze.
'tude, toodez, and fine arab chargers to ya.

Suffering from burnout, or a lengthy bout of exhaustion you can't seem to pull out of, but no obvious symptoms? You may be suffering from adrenal fatigue. Here's a little primer on these very important glands and how to treat them right. Our fast-paced lifestyles push these little organs to the limit: Overtaxed by stress, stimulants, sugar and a variety of habits, our body's energy control centers are easily maxed-out, resulting in fatigue, depression and even weight gain. In any natural health, wellness and fitness program, support for the adrenal glands is crucial.
The adrenal glands are each no bigger than a walnut and weigh less than a grape. They sit like a tiny pyramid on top of each kidney, their name 'ad' and 'renal' means 'over' or 'above' the 'kidney'. The glands are important control centers for regulation of many of the body's hormones, either secreting directly or controlling the release of cortisol and adrenaline, DHEA, estrogen, and testosterone, which are essential to ones health, vitality, and overall well-being. The adrenal hormones support and affect every tissue, organ, and gland in your body. Their primary purpose is to enable the body and mind to deal with various forms of stress including injury, disease, and other pressures. The adrenals largely determine the energy response of your body to every change in one's internal and external environment, in fact, every cell in your body responds to signals from the adrenals.
An estimated 75-80% of Westerners suffer from 'Adrenal fatigue' at some point in their lives. Adrenal fatigue is a described as a collection of signs and symptoms classically known as a "syndrome" that results when the adrenal glands function below the necessary level. Signs and symptoms may include severe fatigue, lightheadedness upon standing, depression and irritability, lack of sex drive, exhaustion and general malaise, loss of appetite, food cravings, and dark circles around the eyes. Most commonly associated with intense or prolonged stress, various other situations contribute to adrenal fatigue including life crisis, trauma, lifestyle, and chronic illness. Other factors that contribute to the depletion of adrenal health include certain lifestyle choices such as improper diet, substance abuse, too little or irregular sleep or rest and increased or other on-going life-style pressures.
When healthy, your adrenals can instantly increase your heart rate and blood pressure, release energy stores for immediate use, sharpen your senses, slow digestion and various other secondary functions. This function is extremely important in emergency situations – poorly functioning, overtaxed adrenal glands can lessen your ability to deal effectively with crisis situations. Another aspect of healthy adrenals is the ability to endure long periods of physical exertion such as seen in marathon running, swimming, long distance cycling, and similarly, the day to day responsibilities of parenting! It is your adrenal glands job to react to stress in a balanced manner so that one's response is appropriate to the situation.
The adrenal glands signal the storage and/or release of carbohydrates and fats, the conversion of fats and proteins into energy, along with the distribution of stored fat on the body. They are involved in blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular function, gastrointestinal function, and in controlling blood pressure. The adrenals are further involved by playing a part in sexual interest and response – so poorly functioning adrenals can really put a damper on things by increasing fat storage on your belly while making you disinterested in the whole process altogether!
Here are a few simple steps to supporting adrenal gland health. Many of these will support your overall wellbeing as well, relieving your body of undue stress, and in turn allowing your adrenals to replenish their stores. First, get an adequate intake of pure, clean water. You needn't drown yourself with it, but always having a bottle around to sip on can really make a difference. So many body processes require adequate amounts of water – and this is likely more than you think. Further, natural aging and other factors can desensitize your thirst sense, so again, you'll likely feel better drinking more often than when you only feel thirsty.
Next, and perhaps most difficult for some of us is slowing down the pace of each day, if only for a few moments. It's quite useful to take a couple of 10 minute breaks where you just let your mind go. If thoughts come up about all your worries and your to do list, let them go. Breathe deeply and relax. Get to a point where you feel you've made a change in your mindset, even if only for a little while – this state will naturally flow in your life for at least a little while once you resume your normal activities, and will have a dramatic effect on your adrenals and nervous system. Incorporating regular moderate exercise is extremely helpful as well, making the body much more capable of dealing with stress. For an added bonus, combine these two and real be present when you're exercising, relaxing your mind while invigorating your body.
Diet plays a huge role in any natural health, wellness and fitness program, and is crucial in proper adrenal gland function. You've heard it before, but I'll say it again! Reduce your sugar intake – sugar is a poison to the system, inducing stress whenever eaten. Cut out stimulants to the best of your ability. If you have a caffeine addiction, take it moment to moment, Do you really need that next cup? Will it make you feel better? Often after the first one or two in the morning, the answer is no. And cutting them out all together will give you more energy than you thought possible in a week to 10 days.
For a soothing, regenerating treatment, take an Epsom salt bath pull out fatigue and acidity from body. Again, let your mind go and release the worries of the day, and try to incorporate this into your regular routine. Consider adding a few drops of pure Lavender essential oil to your bath and allow the relaxing aroma to help you relax and refresh. A favorite essential oil bath blend: 4 drops Lavender essential oil, 1 drop Rose essential oil. These oils are well known for their uplifting and relaxing qualities.
You may also use an essential oil blend that is said to replenish the adrenal glands without stimulation. Mix one ounce hazelnut oil plus 50 drops each of Black Spruce and Pine essential oils. For a gentle lift, reduce the Black Spruce and Pine to 30 drops each, and add 20 drops each of Cedarwood and Peppermint. Apply twice a day to the lower back for a week or two to help support glandular function – and you'll smell great too!
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, do what you can to improve your sleep routine. Getting to bed before 10pm is crucial – the hours between 10 and 12 are thought to be extremely important in rejuvenation. Try finishing your last meal as early as possible in the evening to get better rest, so the body is not spending as much effort digesting your dinner as it is replenishing all your other vital resources. Herbal sleep formulas are effective for many people, and are non-habit forming as some prescription medicines can be. Also, studies have shown that the aroma of certain essential oils in the room can have a dramatic effect on sleep quality – an easy way to experiment is to sprinkle a few drops of lavender essential oil on your comforter before retiring (be sparing, too much can actually be stimulating!)
Taking care of your adrenal glands is an important consideration in any health, wellness and fitness program when you want to feel your best and be prepared for any situation. Allowing them to replenish will help brighten your outlook on life and give you the energy you need for the things you love to do.

Yesterday was officially my last day at Raytheon. I badged myself in for the last time, dropped off my laptop, phone, corporate card, and other Raytheon things, and that was it!
That evening, Jeff and I had plans to go the the National's game. They just signed a new pitcher, and to celebrate they sold a bunch of tickets online for $1. The weather in DC has been super hot and muggy, with occasional rain, and it stayed that way during the game - mostly it was nice, but there were a couple times we paused for rain. Lucky for us, we were sitting under an awning, so we stayed pretty comfortable. The Nationals were doing pretty well, but then fell behind - they hit a homerun in the 9th inning, but it wasn't enough to win.
After the game we went back to our apartment and had some champagne to celebrate my last day at Raytheon. We also watched 'Sixteen Candles' which is one of those 80's movies my mom never let me watch. (Ferris Bueler and Breakfast Club were allowed.) It was funny and cheesy, with language bad enough that I probably wouldn't let a little kid watch it either.
The other thing I randomly watched this morning was the TV show 'This American Life'. It's just like the radio show on NPR (both narrated by Ira Glass). I love the radio show, so I guess it's no surprise. They do a really good job of getting really good, interesting or emotional vignettes of people's lives in a relatively short period of time. If you have netflix, it's available on 'play instantly', so check it out!
