It's hard to complain when you're the best-selling pickup truck on the market, and for the new model year, the 2013 Ford F-150 has added a few features, too. That's important, because the competition is gaining ground in their attempt to catch up with this Ford's sales.
The F-150's been one of the top-rated trucks here for years, and it keeps its share of the lead thanks to advanced luxury and tech features, improved gas mileage, luxury touches, and class-leading towing. It also gets connectivity in its cabin that's rivaled only by the latest, best-equipped Ram.
With King Ranch editions, EcoBoost V-6 turbos, and a Harley-Davidson model wearing basic black like it owns it, how can the F-Series Ford truck get better? For starters, most of the F-150's running gear carries over unchanged, wrapped in the same defensive-lineman looks it's worn since a 2009 redesign. Back then the F-150 had borne a smooth, carlike look influenced by the company's epoch-making Taurus. All curves and upscale cues, that F-Series was caught off-guard by the Dodge Ram's blockbuster 1994 redo and its tractor-trailer-alike looks. Since then the F-150's migrated into a blocky, Tonka-like look that's either cartoonish or spot-on macho, depending on your allegiance to trucks in general, and Ford, specifically. The huge grille, the slab sides, the impossibly tall fenders make it a musclecar in its class, and an object to be coveted in certain parts of the country--anywhere within a 100-mile radius of an oval-track race. The cabin couldn't feel more contrasty: it's quiet, well-organized, and depending on the model and trim, plushly finished in high-grade plastics and tightly assembled pieces, with attractive proportions. Even work-grade trims look expensive--and the addition of MyFord Touch controls have pushed the center stack in a more adventurous direction.
The quartet of powertrains that replaced Ford's old modular V-8s in the 2011 model year are back, unchanged for 2013. The standard 3.7-liter V-6 may seem like the dollar-store choice, until you've driven it with a light cargo load. The six-speed automatic (standard across the board) gets paired with taller rear axles to help it accelerate to 60 mph in under 10 seconds, and gas mileage still pushes the envelope, at up to 23 miles per gallon on the EPA highway cycle, while towing capacity is a reasonable 6,100 pounds. Of course, if you want to hang with the popular crowd, you'll need the turbocharged, 3.5-liter version of the six. It blows out 360 hp, runs and guns to 60 mph in less than 8 seconds, and cranks out enough torque to challenge Ford's own V-8s for supremacy, while also giving the EcoBoost six the best towing numbers of the F-150 range--11,300 pounds.
In their 1990s heyday, pickup trucks excelled at smooth V-8 power. Now they're truly muscular, especially at Ford, where the 5.0-liter V-8 endows the F-150 with a Mustang GT powertrain and its sizzling exhaust note, too. The 5.0 puts out an EcoBoost-identical 360 hp: the engine's retuned from the Mustang application for better low-end torque and to maintain the truck's 10,000-pound tow rating. At the top of the range is a new 6.2-liter V-8 with a monster output of 411 hp and 434 pound-feet of torque, fitted in the most luxurious models and in the Raptor off-road special edition.
Electric power steering was adopted along with the new engines, and it's also carlike in feel, with quick, light responses to inputs, more so than any other full-sizer. The ride and handling of the F-150 is probably where it gets nudged by Silverados and Rams: it handles pretty well for such a large pickups, but the ride is just a touch tougher than either. Four-wheel drive is available across the lineup, of course, and a new mechanical setup comes with automatic 4x4 mode that shifts power to the front wheels when needed.
The F-150 comes in a wide range of body styles and bed lengths, and it's up to you how to configure it. The Regular Cab has either a 6.5-foot or 8-foot bed, and so does the extended SuperCab. The SuperCrew four-door pickup also comes with short- and long-bed options, as well as a wheelbase six inches longer than other versions, with all the additional room going to the rear seats. All F-150s can have well sculpted bucket seats, and even the basic bench isn't a bad alternative. In back, the seats have a truly flat floor, and the cushions fold up against the back on four-door models so huge packages can be carried inside, safely and securely. A tailgate ladder and a side box step are stamped into each version.
All F-150s have a package of safety gear that blends electronic assistance with the usual airbags. Stability control is standard, and so are trailer sway control, which uses anti-lock brakes to mitigate the motion of a trailered vehicle, and hill start assist. A rearview camera and Bluetooth are available, too, and the F-150 has done well in crash tests. Especially of note is that the F-150 is the only one of the Big 3 full-size trucks to be an IIHS Top Safety Pick and achieve 'good' scores in the important, rollover-related IIHS roof-strength test.
More than most any vehicles on the road, pickups still offer the custom-order experience, not just in hard points but in soft points. The F-150's no different: it comes in no less than eleven packages that run from stripper XL editions to Harley-Davidson, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited editions. The F150 can be fitted with Ford's SYNC media controller, with real-time traffic information, and even with features like a Sony sound system, DVD entertainment players and second-row heated seats. If you want to get an idea of how luxurious an F-150 can be, step into the King Ranch, upholstered in natural leather, surrounded by LCD screens and a navigation system. It's like sitting in the world's most sophisticated baseball glove--and the price tag of more than $44,000 adequately underscores that impression.

How to get the best deal on a loan
Opting for a personal or small business loan has been the go-to for most aspiring entrepreneurs whenever they need capital to start their own small scale business. If the business fails, the entrepreneur's credit rating will surely get a downgrade. That is why it is always important to tread carefully when starting your business and the first thing that you should keep in mind is how to maximize the capital and avoid unnecessary expenses. Read on to learn how to build your very own successful low-cost business venture.
Know Your Talents and Interests
A good entrepreneur won't blindly start a new business without knowing what he or she enjoys doing. If you are musically inclined, then running a computer shop venture won't make you happy thus hindering the growth of your business. On the other hand, you would not want to open a music shop without knowing how to a play any musical instrument or you may end up not being able to sell a single instrument.
What makes this important is that, if you spend your money investing into something that doesn't suit your talents and interests, you will just be wasting your time and compromising all of your investments. If you see your friend happy with their own business, do not try to imitate the same undertaking. Look into yourself and find what really makes you happy and base your decisions on that.
Formulate Business Ideas
Knowing your talents and interests means that you are now ready to think of business ideas that suit your talents and interests that are also within your financial capacity. If you are good at talking to people then you can start your own coaching services. It won't require a lot of money to start. You only need guts and you can use your budget to promote yourself.
If you are a musician then you can start or your own music shop if your budget can afford your first set of musical instruments to sell. If your capital is not enough to start your own shop then try teaching others your skills instead for a fee. If you love gardening then why not start your own garden and grow flowers to sell. Grow cheap flower varieties at first that don't need complex methods to grow to reduce the risks for your first harvest.
You can start experimenting with the more expensive flowers once you have established a good market for your starting varieties. If you want to stay and work at home then building an online business is a good idea. Not only is online business cheap, it also provides a huge pool of opportunities. Learn how to pick a good domain and buy only the new ones as they are cheap. There are also a lot of cheap hosting companies to choose from and you can build your own site without hiring a developer by learning how to use a Content Management System such as WordPress.
Check Availability Of Resources
Now that you already have an idea on what business you want to start, it is now time to make a list of all the things that are needed for the business. Check if all the needed resources are available in the area. If they are then you are good to go. If not, try to find ways to procure them or if it is impossible then try to look for alternatives.
If you still can't find a good alternative or a way to gain access to needed resources then you should let go of your business idea. Even if the idea is great, you will not be able to start your business if the needed resources are not available.
If access to resources is good, check if you can afford to buy the materials needed to produce your first batch of goods. Remember that buying materials is not the only thing that needs a chunk of your capital. You also have to consider labor and promotional expenses as well as an emergency trust fund that you can use if ever unforeseen problems arise as you start your business.
If materials in your area are expensive then try to look for other sources outside the locality and try to buy them in bulk to get a discount. Weigh the expenses needed to transport them to your area and if you think it is worth it then go for it. You can also try to look for cheaper ones online and just pay extra shipment.
There are a lot of ways to get the most out of your personal loan. The most important thing is that you do not rush everything. Do your homework and make some research. Make a list of all expenses and do everything in your part to maximize your capital by trying to be wise with your choices.

FDA study finds pharmacy drug info insufficient
A new FDA study found that printed consumer medication information – the literature accompanying a dispensed prescription drug – does not sufficiently educate consumers about the use and risks of the medication.
The study, Expert and Consumer Evaluation of Consumer Medical Information, found that 94% of consumers received the information with their prescriptions, but that only 75% of this information (dubbed "CMI" by the agency) met criteria for usefulness.
That criterion (established by a steering committee including healthcare professionals, consumer groups, pharma manufacturers, and others) was set after Congress enacted a law in 1996 requiring the private sector to distribute useful CMI with 95% of all new prescriptions by 2006. The 1996 criteria for useful CMI called for the materials to be scientifically accurate, unbiased, specific and comprehensive, understandable, timely, and useful. In 2001, FDA updated the criteria to include more specific CMI requirements, such as drug name, use, contraindications and frequent adverse reactions, among others.
"The current voluntary system has failed to provide consumers with the quality information they need in order to use medicines effectively and safely," said Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, in a statement.
FDA has created a website to receive public comment on the study, and to solicit feedback from consumers regarding the best ways to provide useful CMI.
In July, the National Consumers League filed a petition with the FDA asking the agency to consolidate the materials consumers receive with a prescription drug, and provide a single, concise document.

An albino king cobra is a king cobra that exhibits albinism, a congenital disorder typified by an inability to produce pigment that results in a white appearance. In animals, albinism is especially dangerous due to its likelihood of compromising camouflage. Almost all albino animals die in the wild before adulthood.Continue Reading
The king cobra is the longest venomous snake in the world, capable of reaching 18 feet in length. Like other cobras, the king cobra is able to inflate its hood, creating a more imposing stature if it feels threatened. The venom of the king cobra, though not as potent as that of other venomous snakes, can still be especially lethal. This is because king cobras typically inject an extreme dosage of the venom upon biting.Learn more about Snakes

Is the Political Interview Now so Boring it is Useless?
The political interview is supposed to be one of the cardinal moments when the news media contribute most directly to the quality of governance in a given country. Assuming that the media system is reasonably free, the political interview –particularly the broadcast versions on either radio or television – is a moment when the leading stars of the news media can:
- Make political leaders and other news makers throw a bright light on the leading issues of the day;
- Hold leaders accountable by asking tough questions regarding their stewardship of the affairs of the state; and
- Speak truth to power.
It is now increasingly recognized, however, that the political interview is in trouble, even outside authoritarian political contexts (where regimes control broadcasting fiercely). For an excellent recent take on the issue, please see this piece by Ian Katz, editor of BBC's 'Newsnight,' 'Boring Snoring?'

Vancouver Island and the many smaller islands and inlets that dot its coasts hold untapped vacation potential. So, tack on a few extra days to your next board meeting, and explore. > Victoria: It may be named after a respectable queen, but behind Victoria's stiff-upper-lip reputation lies a city (pictured above) with an edge. You'll find it in the incredible food, innovative craft brewing and continued commitment to the arts. Bring your sneakers for a jaunt along the 47-kilometre-long Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, opt for a cooking class at The London Chef, or simply take your time admiring more than 160 pieces of art by famed wildlife artist Robert Bateman at the gallery bearing his name. www.tourismvictoria.com > Quadra Island: Just across the Discovery Passage from Vancouver Island you'll find a land where hippies once roamed free. They're older now, but their free spirit and love of the outdoors hasn't waned, and the result is an island that feels a lifetime away from the cities you've left behind. Hop a ferry over and spend a night (or seven) in your own Gowlland Harbour Resort guest house, with stunning ocean views, a sun deck and barbecue. Fill your days with excursions organized by local outfitter Wildcoast Adventures, where you'll be placed in a kayak and introduced to seals, urchins and whales a mere paddle away from shore. www.gowllandharbour.com; www.kayakbritishcolumbia.com > Port McNeill: Head north from Campbell River toward Port Hardy and you'll be rewarded with a long, winding drive. Then venture out to the inlets through Sea Wolf Adventures, along with a whale or grizzly bear watching expedition. You'll have the chance to learn about the area's aboriginal history from guides who belong to one of the many nations of the Kwakwaka'wakw indigenous people. Cultural tours include a visit to nearby Alert Bay — once home to a residential school — and offer a chance to see the fascinating U'mista Cultural Centre, where traditional masks and artefacts have found a permanent community home. www.seawolfadventures.ca; www.umista.ca

When the Saskatchewan government legalized the sale of beer by the glass in 1935, the question arose as to whether or not women should be allowed in beer parlours. In the end, after much debate in the legislature, Saskatchewan women were granted the right to drink beer – in separate women-only parlours.
Despite stereotypes about women as temperance advocates in the early 1900s, Saskatchewan women from many walks of life drank wine, beer and hard liquor at formal dinners, at weddings and at other gatherings. In the years since 1924, when the only places people could legally drink were in their own homes or in a hotel room, many married couples spent some of their leisure time together at home. Some might have shared a drink or two. As Craig Heron surmises in his book, Booze: A Distilled History (Toronto, 2003), "Inadvertently, government policy may have had [the] effect of breaking down the male near-monopoly on drinking and giving their wives easier access to the bottle that their husband brought home." (p.288) In addition, the single women of Saskatchewan's cities and towns who worked as telephone operators and salesclerks, hotel chambermaids and restaurant workers, might want to enjoy a drink in their local hotel beer parlour after a day's work.
|Getty Images, Retrofile, George Marks photograph
The thought of women in beer parlours was frowned upon by many, however. While Saskatchewan women had won the right to vote in 1916, this had not given them real equality. The prevailing conviction was that a woman's proper role was as a wife, mother and homemaker. Many considered beer parlours to be morally compromised places frequented by morally suspect patrons. Women might drink beer at the expense of their children. Much worse, women might be lured into illicit sexual activity if they were allowed to drink beer in parlours.
|Male bonding. Source: www.oldstmaryspa.com
The issue was further complicated by the fact that a lot of men, including many hotel operators, workers and their customers, simply did not want women in what was considered male social space. Hotelmen feared that the presence of women might curtail the consumption of beer. Male camaraderie might be inhibited. Charles Hurt of Vernon, B.C. gave voice to these qualms when he said, "Certainly there are many men who cannot be happy unless they are telling or listening to lewd stories or punctuating their conversation with a series of oaths, and such men do, no doubt, find their liberty of action circumscribed by the presence of ladies in the parlor." (Quoted in Robert A. Campbell, Sit Down and Drink Your Beer; Vancouver's Beer Parlours, 1925-1954, University of Toronto Press, 2001, p. 56) Many females agreed that a beer parlour was not a place for women. In the 1930s, most women were too busy running the family household to visit a beer parlour. Few could even afford it, given the hard times of the Depression. Some women, however, wanted in.
For several weeks in January 1935, members of the legislature debated the new liquor act and regulations. They received representaitons from both the Saskatchewan Moderation League and the Saskatchewan Temperance League asking for beer parlour privileges for women. According to the Regina newspaper, temperance advocates argued that since men and women voted together in the 1934 beer-by-the-glass plebiscite, they should be allowed to drink together. Premier James G. Gardiner said he was opposed to parlours for women because he believed that two thirds of the women in the province did not want beer at all. "He said he had been besieged by resolutions and letters from women's organizations and individuals opposing beer parlors," the paper reported, "but hadn't received a single letter from any woman asking for them." (Regina Leader-Post, Jan. 11, 1935, p. 3 and Jan. 19, 1935, p. 1).
Nevertheless, on January 22, 1935, the legislature approved separate, women-only beer parlours for all communities in the province. In cities, there had to be separate entrances for, and no means of communication between, the men's and women's parlours. In smaller centres, there could be a single entrance, but separate parlours. Omer Demers, MLA for Shellbrook, condemned the whole concept. "The very fact that we are not going to allow men and women to drink together is nothing short of an admission that the beer parlor is not going to be a decent place to go," Demers said. (Regina Leader-Post, Jan. 22, 1935, p. 8)
Reaction to the establishment of women-only beer parlours was swift. "Fancy any real woman lowering her dignity by visiting such places," wrote James Smith of Regina in a letter to the newspaper, "especially those who have the care and training of our future citizens." S.G. Jamieson, on the other hand, thought that men and women should be allowed to drink together. His letter to the editor stated,"I would much sooner see my family drinking together in a public place than to … sneak off in a place where they practically have to hide to drink." (Regina Leader-Post, Feb 7, 1935, p. 4) Perhaps the most interesting analysis of Saskatchewan's new beer law came in an editorial by the Vancouver Province, quoted in the Leader-Post on March 21,1935:
The New York Times … hears about our new Saskatchewan beer law and doesn't know what to make of us all. … In an age of sexual equality, the women of Saskatchewan are to have their beer-by-the-glass licensed houses, as well as the men of Saskatchewan. Even in the same house, but not in the same chaste parlor. Oh, no. No man except a beer waiter may be lawfully in a women's beer parlor in the new Saskatchewan beer dispensation. And no woman may be lawfully in a man's beer parlor. … separate compartments (beer-tight partitions, say), and there may not even be communicating doors… . They fought over these regulations for a whole week in the Saskatchewan House, before the beer separatists won. One member said, suppose a man and his wife dropped into a beer parlor together, wanting to have a thoughtful and connubial beer together, and then found they must go their separate ways, sundered by this harsh, estranging partition, drinking their lonely and uninspiring beer-by-the-glass, he on his side of the partition, she on hers, so that those whom God had joined together had been put asunder by the beer laws of Saskatchewan – how about it, what then? And the Saskatchewan House said, all right, what about it: it would just be too bad for them.
All of this consternation was irrelevant, however. In March 1935, Regina hotelmen announced that they had decided not to provide separate beer parlors for women. It appears that the rest of the hotels in the province followed suit. Women would have to wait until 1960 to enter Saskatchewan's beer parlours – or beverage rooms as they became known – through the "Ladies and Escorts" door.

MAD Pig BBQ started right here in Lawrenceville, IL in 2015 by Mark and Debbie Montgomery hence the name "MAD" Pig. Their goal is to provide the highest quality, best tasting BBQ, prepared fresh daily with our original recipes and rubs. We use only dry rubs on our meat, and then we slow smoke our meat. You just can't rush good BBQ. MAD Pig prides itself on BBQ that is tender, juicy, and flavorful!
Marks passion for cooking goes back many years. He has been serving up his delicious ribs, pulled pork, chicken, etc. to family and friends for decades. Family gatherings led to his creation of the perfect seasoning and his specialty BBQ sauce that is a hit with anyone who tries it! After years of friends and family raving about his delicious BBQ Mark decided to take the plunge and purchase a food trailer with a built in smoker. He quickly learned that his BBQ was going to be a staple in Lawrence County for years to come. After working from the food trailer for the past year and a half Mark and Debbie realized it was time to move inside. Smoking meat in the rain was ok, but serving their customers in the weather wasn't something they wanted to do. They wanted to be able to offer their famous BBQ year round! That's when the project began south of Lawrenceville in the old "Winks Filling Station". It's been a lot of long hours and hard work but they are excited to open here on September 27th and ready to see where this venture takes them!
Over the last year MAD Pig has served many community events including The Lawrence County Scavenger hunt for 2 years, The Kyle Andrews Memorial ride, The Uncorked Festival, The Lawrence County Fall Festival, The Knox County Watermelon Festival, and more. Their mission is to serve quality BBQ at a fair price and give back to the community which has been so good to them.

DescriptionIn this game, you control a bumper car, and the object is to bump your opponents off the gameboard while they do the same to you, and once you have managed to bump all your opponents off the board, you move on to the next round. If you take too long to complete a round, a fireball will strike one of the tiles on the board, causing them to collapse and making it more likely that you or your opponents are killed. In some rounds, you can get power-ups that give you extra bumping powers and the ability to jump over gaps. When you jump, you can break a tile to the point where it collapses, making it easier for opponents to fall down the gap that will be left there.

Mineshaft is one of those games that takes a simple idea and turns it into a game that is hard to put down and can be played by just about anyone.
Players control a miner on a frightfully unreliable elevator. If this deathtrap slams into anything at more than a very slow speed it explodes, ending the game. The elevator automatically moves downwards and the only player control is a brake to slow it down or stop it. When the elevator comes to a stop, a stick of dynamite is laid and the idea is to get the dynamite as close to the bottom of the mineshaft as possible to dig deeper. The force of the explosion sends the elevator hurtling upwards afterwards threatening to smash it against the top of the mineshaft. As the shaft gets deeper the fuse of the dynamite also comes into play as there is only about 5 seconds to plant the dynamite before it goes off, blowing the flimsy elevator up again!
The game thus becomes a balancing act of getting to the bottom of the shaft quickly with the dynamite before it blows the halpless miner into chunks, but not so fast that the elevator breaks apart like a piece of wet tissue paper. This is great fun and incredibly addictive. Mineshaft is very difficult which just adds to the appeal since every screwup in the game is the player's own fault as there are no nasty freemium features or paywalls. The one finger controls also make it easy for even the most casual gamers to play. The game also keeps track of how far you dig, how many bombs you plant and how many miners have been "retiredâ€.
Mineshaft does feature ads, but they are only on the screen after the game ends, so they do not detract from gameplay. Both a banner ad and the occasional popup are present, but never any super annoying video ads. The pop up ads only appear every five games or so which is not too often and the game has no in app purchases at all. There is no "shafting†here.
Mineshaft looks nice. A clean, simple pixel style makes the game easy to play on any device and doesn't distract from the important business of not getting blown apart. The animation for the miner being smashed apart is a hilarious as well as bits and pieces of elevator and miner go every which way and ragdoll all over the place which is always funny to watch.
The sound is simple yet effective. There is the frenetic sound of the elevator hurtling towards its doom that gets louder and higher pitched as it moves faster and faster, the nice BOOM of dynamite and when the game is over a really catchy piece of music plays. There is no music during the actual game. The screaming of the elevator cable really drives the game's atmosphere home.
Mineshaft is fun stuff and can be played for any length of time. The super simple controls, clever gameplay and fierce addictiveness make it a winner. Pick it.

Psychotronic Tricks and How to Avoid Them
Tricks that "They" Play
I am writing this to warn you about what appears to be a cult that uses psychotronic technology to play psychological tricks on people for the purpose of demoralization and ultimately, the brainwashing of the target/victim. The key techniques used are subliminal SYNTHETIC THOUGHT/FEELING IMPLANTATION accompanied by direct stimulation to the victim's erogenous zones to fool the victim into feeling as though they are aroused by a highly-inappropriate target. Targets include: children, loved ones and even things.
A lot of you are wondering where all these "gangstalkers" originated from. Well, they started out just like you and me. They were subjected to a variety of tricks to undermine their belief in themselves, culminating in a psychological crises aided by a combination of external body stimulation, externally-implanted thoughts and other gangstalkers used as props to intensify their: embarassment, horror, anger or just plain fear. This produced a synthetically-induced psychotic break in which the person allowed themselves to listen for these phony, externally-based thoughts/suggestions and body-stimulation so as to control their physical actions/thoughts. It is the deepest form of brainwashing ever invented, it is insidious and it is everywhere if you are a victim.
Let me explain how some of these tricks are played. One is to combine artificial sexual stimulation with subliminal thoughts that the victim is physically-attracted to a very inappropriate target. It can be: an elderly person, a sexually-undesirable person, a child, someone of the same sex or even a thing (an animal)..........whatever would disturb you the most. This form of harassment nearly led to suicide for me approximately 5 years ago before I knew what was going on. Now it has happened so frequently that I am entirely un-moved by this little "game". Furthermore, I have developed a variety of tricks to re-direct the subliminal suggestions in ways that do not produce disturbing mental pictures (as intended).
OK..........they use FAKE SEX and FAKE VIOLENCE. You can be made to experience what for all the world SEEMS like sexual arousal towards a "disturbing/inapproprriate" target. Although they frequently use members to do this, they can make you feel that you have these sexual deviant feelings towards loved ones as well. To induce "fake deviancy", they: 1. stimulate the erogenous zones of the victim when the "inappropriate target" is present. 2. Subliminally-suggest that you "want" the inappropriate target. This is extremely disturbing and one of the main ways they "crack" their victims. Next comes FAKE VIOLENCE. They can combine subliminally-transmitted pictures of you being violent towards any target of their choosing. This will include: women, children and the people you cherish most in your life.
You RE-DIRECT these false transmissions of sex/violence by creating charicatures to replace you and the target. Try to make the aggressor as far from you in appearance - same for the "inappropriate target". This externalizes the feelings of inappropriate sex/violence into a vignette which you VIEW as opposed to TAKE PART IN. This brings great relief and the stalkers will grow tired of using it as a ploy to un-hinge your consciousness.
Don't get upset if they slip a disturbing thought past your "shield". The thought ISN'T YOURS, so you do not have to take responsibility for it. In a world of COUNTERFEIT DISTURBING THOUGHTS, let's simply learn to doubt ALL BAD THOUGHTS. A good rule of thumb is: If it's bad, I didn't think it. Also, do not accept their "offers" of: money, fame, power or success for "being evil". It negates your protection from another organization, leaving you open to the most devastating psychotronic assaults!

The Dreaded Night Ride
Nothing quite so exhilarating as flight now is there? Maybe I just believe that because I hear it so often. Time to find out, how did I actually feel about flight.
The opportunity arose when I was offered a ride of Pegasus over the bay at night. I was one of the last to take my turn. My lower lip had been sore for a awhile from biting on it. I could handle my flying donkey, but only to fly my belongings around, I was much to afraid to take it further than that. It was more like twilight about five in the morning when it was my turn. I shook slightly but was not about to let anyone in on that.
I'd always felt dread and utter horror when about to try something new. Not in my character to let it show, not a chance. I was proud of my stoicism, it was a large part of who I was. I was horrified every time I mounted a horse. Horses were big and capable of pounding me into a fine mush if they chose and I was entirely unsure of how they felt carting humans about. I am not sure I would like to change places with the horses, flying or otherwise.
Once solidly astride, some of the heart pounding fear dropped off. I was committed to the ride and so would not doubt get through it. I pulled my coat a little tighter around me. I should have worn something more accommodating to sitting on a flying horse. "Nudge her", said the stable boy. I almost bit my lip clear through. Sweat was forming on my forehead. I dug my heels lightly into Pegasus's muscled body, Pegasus flinched a little. Obviously I needed to nudge with more certainty.
Sure enough Pegasus took to the sky in one great and confident swoop. I was far too busy dealing with my fear to remember much of it or take any great enjoyment. That said, once in the air I was very much glad I had not totally chickened out. The view was utterly amazing. The cliff sides were so glorious in the early morning light. I could see clearly the cave entrance where the enchantress could be seen in her early morning meditations.
The enchantress looked so serene in her elegant robes sitting in timelessness. Unlike mortals like me she knew exactly where the future would take her. I was going through most of my life blind sided by events over which I have no control. Well, enough envy. Envy is an unattractive state and not one I cared to linger in.
Not far away from her stood several of the donkeys, looking sleepily upward. Possibly wondering if it might be fun to come along with us. Maybe not, maybe just noticing that for once I had taken a flight, after weeks of utter reluctance.
There were other more "human" views, bathers had started at the mineral baths. I thought the better of waving, privacy is something we are all entitled to, and bathing was always private. Suddenly I noticed I had forgotten to be afraid. Just then for one second, I was not afraid, not one little bit. Just as suddenly it all came back. Pegasus swooped and landed. I took sugar lumps from my pocket and brushed the amazing flying horse before going on my way.
To feel the ground under my feet again, oh, what relief. I suppose I will never feel really comfortable flying. I like the earth beneath my feet. Earth is solid and warm and secure. Flight is for birds and those very rare donkeys and horses that can only be found in magical places such as this. I was so tired and fell happily onto the grass beside my donkey. I slept until nearly noon and awoke feeling wonderfully rested. Before leaving the camp I was presented with a picture of the flight to remember the moment by. It was just sitting there propped up against the tree, I've no idea how it got there. My thanks to all who prompted me to take the flight. I will cherish it, always.

Giovanni Peracin is the new Group Brand & Marketing Director of Arper, the Treviso-based company that creates exclusive furnishings (chairs, tables, and other accessories) for community, work and home. Arper continues along the path of consolidating its organizational structure, with the aim of strengthening one of the company's strategic development guidelines.
"We are very happy that Giovanni has joined the team" says Claudio Feltrin, Arper's President. "We are confident that he will bring innovation and creativity to the company, thanks to his international background, also matured in different sectors. We strongly believe that drawing on experiences that are not strictly related to furniture can enhance our success. A different take on the dynamics we know can really make the difference. In this sense, Arper is a true container of experiences, which we invest on to get best results. I will work closely with Giovanni and the whole team to define together the future Arper." Mr Vincenzo Rivizzigno, the Managing Director, and the entire Group's Top Management also give their welcome to Mr Peracin, confident that his new role will further contribute to their growth.
Giovanni Peracin was born in Padua. A graduate in Political Science, he has gained international experience holding positions of increasing responsibility in Brand, Marketing, Communication and Sales for fashion companies the like of Levi Strauss and Loewe (LVMH Group) in Spain. After a decade spent abroad, he came back to Italy where he furthered his professional career holding the role of Marketing & Sales Director for VF CORP. He then became Playlife Business Unit Director in the Benetton Group and Senior Vice-President Marketing in Geox SpA.
"Arper is a Brand with a great personality, innovative spirit and a strong international presence. I unreservedly share the values on which it is based, and I am sure that together we can further the growth of this exciting company" says Giovanni Peracin.
From 17-22 April, Arper will participate in the Salone del Mobile in Milan, and present its collections in the exhibition space dedicated to furniture and design companies (Hall 16 – stand C29 D30). An area of nearly 900 square metres will allow visitors to discover new designs, previews, and a selection of Arper's iconic products through an immersive experience that fully expresses our brand's identity. The narration resumes from "Together", a key word that places relationships at the center of the design system and summarizes Arper's six values: Balance, Intuition, Family, Color, Lightness, and Play, which will take form in each room through a dialogue between collections and setting.
Arper has constantly been open to suggestions and new ideas, mindful of how much design in every form affects our daily life. This has inspired Arper to carry out a new project for this year's Salone del Mobile: a series of interviews to distinguished members of the cultural sector and the creative industries, who have been invited to share their personal take on the Arper values (Balance, Intuition, Family, Colour, Lightness, Play). Their interpretations, based on their fields of expertise, have then contributed to identify a common ground amongst multiple perspectives. Among the personalities who took part in the project are Karole Vail, Director of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice; Deyan Sudjic, Director of The Design Museum, London; Umberto Basso, Managing Director, AKQA Italy; and Dominik Tarabanski, photographer.
A selection of extracts from the interviews will be available at the stand, guiding visitors in their exploration of the Arper's world. The project will continue throughout the Salone engaging visitors who will be asked to express their point of view on the values they feel closer to. In the following months the project will be featured on our web site and social media channels, with dedicated content and digital productions. The synthesis of Arper's values will also take form in the Milan showroom through KIIK, the new project by Ichiro Iwasaki, which offers a natural continuation to the narration experienced at the Arper's booth at the fair.
News Kiik, design by Iwasaki Design Studio, 2018 Islands for gathering. Constellations for activity. Kiik is created for the spaces between entry and departure, between waiting and doing. This modular collection of seating, tables, ottomans, and consoles creates moments for working, gathering, or relaxation in graphic forms with myriad configurations. Kiik has been created to address the needs of waiting rooms, university lounges, workspaces, meeting areas, and mixed-use spaces. Its modular nature and material finish specification options make it a complementary addition to any context. Kiik's fundamental structures can be created with seats with and without backrests and tables in triangular, circular, square or rectangular shapes and completed with ottomans and low or raised consoles. Upholstery options in a variety of textures and colors create a unique expression appropriate to the space. Combine diverse configurations together for a dynamic effect, or create patterns with a repeated form. Kiik is ideally suited for any contract use to create bespoke spaces, to pause, to work, to meet.
Preview Paravan, design by Lievore Altherr, 2018 A perimeter to define space. Paravan is sculptural in form and architectural in execution, both articulating and creating space. Like parentheses to enclose a conversation, Paravan creates intimacy in open areas with sound absorbing panels to support focus, concentration, and collaboration. The Paravan collection is a modular language of panels that can be combined to create new expressions to delineate space. From basic quadrants to elegant curvatures, from linear forms to irregular repetitions, Paravan lends pattern, rhythm and color to wide open spaces. Options for straight or rounded corners create aesthetic variety while kaleidoscopic material finishes ensure the collection can be customized to meet the needs of any space. The Paravan collection is ideally suited for lounge, co-working, or contract use and features an optional coat-hanger or shelf for added functionality. The graceful lines and graphic color combinations match the entire Arper family of collections for a unified integrity of expression in large spaces.
Collection Updates Dizzie, design by Lievore Altherr Molina, 2004 The Dizzie collection expands to include new white Italian marble tabletops. Sleek and sophisticated, the marble tabletops are available in a bar and side table size, with two height options for each version. A sumptuous finish to Dizzie's organic silhouette for home, hospitality, and contract uses. Table bases are available in chrome or white-lacquered steel. White MDF or laminate tops are available in large, small, round or square oval. The h 50 version with oval base is available lacquered in four vibrant colors––moka, red, sand and black––in addition to white. The Dizzie marble tabletops are available in bar or side table size, and with two height variations each. The bases for size tables are available in noir sable and white; the bases for bar tables are available in white only.
Arcos, design by Lievore Altherr, 2017 The Arcos collection grows to include a three-seat option. This new couch is expansive in form and minimal in expression. Retaining the same cast aluminum armrests that evoke classical archways and architecture, this new version provides generous length to comfortably accommodate three. Arcos is available in four seating configurations: chair, lounge chair, two-seat or three-seat sofa. Each is created with a sled base and integrated armrests made of polished or powder-coated aluminum. The shell can be upholstered in a wide selection of material finishes, with matching powder-coated armrests. Because of the four options for seating, the Arcos collection can be combined or repeated to create many different seating environments for hospitality, residential, and contract use.
Cross, design by Metrica, 2014 Cross is now available at a new height, 105 cm, and with two tabletop shapes available: table for creative and collaborative meeting and console for quick and informal moments. Both will be available in two sizes in white Fenix laminate and with optional socket towers. The table's substantial length, both minimal and architectural, features a sturdy structure with ample space to create. A central outlet allows computers to plug in accommodating the ever- changing needs of the dynamic, contemporary office. Cross offers a flexible, supportive workspace or meeting space with sleek, consummate style. Myriad finishes and accessories make Cross table adaptable to any environment—for work, for home, for creativity.
Pix, design by Ichiro Iwasaki, 2010 Pix Cubo ottomans in graphic square and rectangular silhouettes evoke the spirit of play. Like building blocks, the soft, modular poufs--available in all the colors of the rainbow--can be arranged in endless compositions for home or contract. It's comfort with a light touch. Available in square or rectangular silhouettes, Pix Cubo is modular and generous, and blends beautifully with the Pix and Kiik collections to offer even more versatility.
Duna 02, design by Lievore Altherr Molina, 2014 Duna's timeless silhouette is like a soft, enveloping flower—evoking the feeling of being held by a blossom. To complement Duna's source of inspiration, Duna has been reimagined in sustainably-made shell options made in a 100% recycled post-industrial material. Inspired by nature, in the service of nature. The eco-friendly version is compatible with 4 leg base, in powder-coated steel or wood, and is available in anthracite color.
Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2018 Milan Fairgrounds, Rho 17th-22nd April 2018 Pavilion 16 Stand C29 D30 Fuori Salone Special event: Together 18th April 06.30 am to 09.30 pm Arper Showroom Via Pantano 30 20122 Milan
Leading Italian furniture manufacturer Arper will attend the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2018. Arper will present its latest collections together with iconic products, all set within an inspired space created in collaboration with the Barcelona-based architectural office Maio, and with Jeanette Altherr, Creative Director of Arper.
Arper presents "Together" as the leading concept for this year's edition of the Stockholm Furniture Fair offering a new take and further exploration of the concept first presented at the 2017 Salone del Mobile. "Together" is a new perspective that places relationships at the center of design: the relationship between objects, which are expressed through the synergistic design of shells, bases, accessories, materials and colors; the relationship between objects and space, in which each element is coordinated to the other with flexibility, so as to achieve the best results; and finally, the relationship between spaces and people, expressed through individual choices and customized solutions as a means of self-expression.
"Together" strongly sums up the theme of the community: spaces that adapt to new situations and suit the needs of everyday life. The theme of being together in harmony has always been at the foundation of Arper's creation, design, and production: shells, bases, accessories, materials, colors, and fabrics that work together flexibly and fluidly in order to achieve top results," says Claudio Feltrin, Arper President and CEO.
Scandinavia is a very relevant market for Arper. The Arper showroom in Banérgatan in Stockholm has been representing a hub to meet the local design community since it first opened its doors in 2012. Now the company returns to the Stockholm furniture fair, an unmissable appointment of the international design calendar.
A selection of the company's collections, from design icons to most recent news, will be displayed at the stand located at A25: 20. Among the news of the year: Catifa Up, Cila, the Meety table, and Arcos collection of armchairs and sofa.
"Nordic design is the ultimate source of inspiration to us," says Claudio Feltrin. "We aim at meeting the elegance and the essence of Nordic shapes and materials with our collections. Our presence at the furniture fair in Stockholm will give us the opportunity to present Arper brand, thus also representing an occasion to meet our Scandinavian audience, surrounded by comfort and beauty."
Press event in Arper's stand
The Stockholm Furniture Fair is scheduled for 6-10 February 2018 at the Stockholm Fair.
On February 6th, between 2 and 4 pm, the press is welcome to join the open house at the Arper stand ( A25: 20 ) to meet Arper's Communications Manager, Stefania Zamuner, and hear her talking about the company and the collections. Please confirm your presence to: [email protected]
Arper New Collections at the Stockholm Furniture Fair:
Catifa Up, designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, 2017
As much a part of Arper's identity as it is a testament to enduring design, Catifa 53 is the piece that started it all. Designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, Catifa 53's graceful curves and sleek, sensuous silhouette are achieved through an economy of materials––and an exclusive manufacturing process pioneered by Arper to synthesize concept, form, and production.
Catifa's iconic shape is ubiquitous in use. Comfortable in both residential and contract environments, the collection has been available in an array of colors, materials and constructions. New for 2017, Catifa Up offers a higher backrest than Catifa 53, with the addition of optional armrests in a new design and plush padding to lend stately comfort and support to boardrooms, workplaces, home offices, and conference rooms. A new range of upholstery options delivers visual intrigue to an indelible design. With Catifa Up, elegance and comfort team up to get the job done.
Catifa Up is the latest addition to the Catifa family. A seating collection that has grown organically thoughout the years: since its orginal conception in 1999, Catifa has included six different collections with variations in finish and form, yet has never lost its essential identity. Catifa 46, Catifa 53, Catifa 60, Catifa 70, Catifa 80 and Catifa Sensit, all designed by the Spanish studio LAM, (Lievore Altherr as of April 2016). Complementary, yet singular, Compatible, yet distinctive. Together yet alone, Catifa offers a sensuous synthesis of function and form.
Arcos, designed by Lievore Altherr, 2017
A classical form, repeated. The Arcos collection is a restrained interpretation of Art Deco's geometric glamor––without the ornamentation. Though lightweight and quiet, Arcos maintains a graphic presence due to its signature cast aluminum armrests that form twin curves evoking the elegant rhythm of archways in the corridors and walkways of classical architecture.
The Arcos collection mirrors its classical source of inspiration in both form and context. Designed with public spaces in mind, the collection features a chair, lounge chair and sofa, all with armrests to accommodate lounge, dining, and waiting room settings. Arcos is designed to be in dialogue with Steeve, Parentesit and Cross to create comfortable environments for rest, relaxation and socializing. Special care was dedicated to the color customizations with the possibility to create a monochrome of velvet-like, inky hues in both upholstery and matte lacquer metal for an expression that signals understated expression.
Cila, designed by Lievore Altherr, 2017
A simple gesture, a sensuous feel. The fluid form of Cila was inspired by the image of layers of cloth enveloping the body. Its silhouette of smooth lines retains a graphic character from its distinctive curve––the most essential symbol of shelter. Like being protected, like being held.
Cila's easy shape blends into both residential and contract environments and is especially well suited for dining and entertaining contexts. Comfortable yet lightweight, Cila's plastic shell can be customized in five colors with optional seat cushions or fully upholstered in a range of textures, colors, and styles. Base and leg options include metal legs, wooden legs, a metal sled or a trestle base.
Product Updates
Meety, designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, 2016
Designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, Meety borrows its visual language from the architecture of the bridge: strong but lightweight, supportive but with room for air. Meety's distinctive aluminum legs provide a sturdy foundation to suspend multiple tabletop options that can be customized to suit diverse contexts. For large group gatherings or the intimacy of home life, Meety's elegant system has an option to suit any need: a soft, fluid boat shape imparts warmth and openness while the trapezoid tabletop shape can be arranged to meet the myriad demands of the workplace.
New for 2017, Meety's dynamic system has expanded even further with new finishes and customizations. Thick and substantial smoked glass tabletop options in round or boat-shaped shapes telecast understated allure. New satin matt surfaces in Forbo linoleum are now available in Pebble grey, Powder pink and black. A new range of colors for the Fenix laminate top arrive with options in black, white, Beige Luxor, Efeso Grey or Castoro Ottawa and base options in black, white, or anthracite grey to help the archetypal form of Meety seamlessly integrate into any setting. And for the workspace, Meety is now available with technological features to meet the demands of the modern workspace. Possibilities for cable grommets and trays, built-in vertical cable organization and a modesty panel have added contemporary utility to Meety's timeless silhouette.
In addition to that, further collections will be completing Arper's presence at the Stockholm Furniture Fair: Aava chairs, Parentesit acoustic wall mounted and freestanding panels, Dizzie tables, Zinta sofas and Pix ottomans.
Aava, design by Antti Kotilainen, 2013
Aava transforms an essential and efficient form to evocative through the texture and warmth of wood. Soft curves yield a contemporary silhouette that is both striking yet sensitive, an adaptive form that can speak or assimilate to any environment. Made for both residential and contract use, Aava's wooden shell and base are fabricated in a diverse range of materials, colors and finishes. Pre-compound wood skillfully milled in variable thickness and sheathed in veneer to accentuate its sinuous silhouette, its shell is available in a range of materials.
The Aava collection includes also a stool option. Available in two heights, Aava's contemporary silhouette is now available in a wooden base that expresses the warmth of materiality. Compatible with both the polypropylene and wooden shells, the new base is available in natural birch effect, natural oak color, natural walnut color and beech-wood to match the colorways of the wooden shells. Aava can be further specified with polypropylene armrests, seat cushions or frontal upholstery for plastic shells and pads for easy stacking. Visually striking, these textures combine to create an adaptive form sensitive to any environment.

UEFA Euro 2012 Qualifying: Ranking the Top 25 Players in the TournamentMarch 24, 2011
UEFA Euro 2012 Qualifying: Ranking the Top 25 Players in the Tournament
Euro 2012 qualifying begins again in earnest this week as Serbia, Italy, Spain and more prepare to square off in a battle for continental domination.
Spain saunters into the proceedings as both European and World Champions, though the Netherlands and Germany look just as lethal.
Here is your (somewhat biased) guide to the top 25 players in Euro 2012 qualifying. Let the great debate begin…
25. Mikael Forssell
Country: Finland
Reason: Goals. Forssell is the brightest light of the Finnish national team, which suffered demoralizing losses to Hungary, Netherlands and Moldova last fall.
The former Birmingham striker's inspired play gave his country something to believe in on November 17 of 2010 when he scored a hat trick in Finland's brutal 8-0 castigation of San Marino, a team that allowed a staggering 29 goals during last fall's qualifying round while scoring zero.
Forssell has five goals in qualifying thus far, the third highest goal total behind Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Miroslav Klose.
24. Konstantin Vassiljev
Country: Estonia
Reason: Unless you're Estonian, chances are you hadn't heard of Konstantin Vassiljev until October, when his spirited, pacey, creative play helped his national side overcome Serbia in a stunning 3-1 victory.
Vassiljev is an attacking midfielder who supplies the same type of creativity, distribution, playmaking and goal-scoring ability that Rafael Van Der Vaart does for Tottenham Hotspur.
If he can continue to rally his team around him, Estonia may well be a side to watch as Euro 2012 qualifying progresses.
23. Antonio Cassano
Country: Italy
Reason: Due to his ornery nature and lack of team spirit, Cassano was left off of Italy's 2010 World Cup squad. We all know how that went.
With his reinstatement, however, the team saw immediate turnaround. Cassano contributed to both of Italy's goals against Estonia in Euro 2012 qualifying, scoring the first and assisting the second. He also scored a thunderous goal in Azzurri's 5-0 destruction of Faroe Islands.
Cassano adds unpredictability and a much needed sense of cut-throat abandon to Italy's offense—he is the side's most important player entering Euro 2012.
22. Gerard Pique
Country: Spain
Reason: Pique provides essential support to Spain's backline and it's forward movement.
The center back contributes all the necessary tackles to keep defenders away from the goal while his distribution to players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Xabi Alonso is yet another crucially precise link in Spain's chain of ball movement.
Pique came in fifth (the highest ranking Spaniard of the lot) in a Goal.com reader's pole ranking the top players in Euro qualifying during fall 2010.
21. Raul Meireles
Country: Portugal
Reason: Less than a year ago, football fans outside of Portugal knew Meireles as the tattooed Iberian bloke with the awful haircut.
Since moving to Liverpool in August of 2010, Meireles has scored five goals and contributed three assists. He has demonstrated exactly the midfield creativity that the Reds needed.
If Meireles successfully links with Nani and Ronaldo, Portugal will be an offensive terror at Euro 2012.
20. Gareth Bale
Country: Wales
Reason: Bale is fast, fast, fast. His crosses are powerful and accurate, and he can score quick, decisive goals from a serious distance.
Though Bale is young and inexperienced, he has shown gradual progress over the course of the 2010-11 season.
With the EPL and Champions League experience he is gaining through his time on Spurs, Bale is learning every day how to adapt to new situations, improve his decision-making and impact games. He is Wale's great hope.
19. Andrei Arshavin
Country: Russia
Reason: The footballing world's opinion of Arshavin has been low of late, and it's no surprise. The jack of all trades (attacking midfielder/winger/second striker) suffered a very poor run of form through the second half of 2010 and the nascent months of 2011.
But lo! A light on the horizon shines! Since contributing to Arsenal's massive routing of Barcelona at Emirates, Arshavin has made marked progress toward recapturing the glory of his old self.
Look no further than Arshavin's phenomenal league goal against WBA last weekend for proof of his talent.
18. Charlie Adam
Country: Scotland
Reason: Charlie Adam has carried Blackpool on his back this season in the EPL, and it looks as though the Scottish national team expects him to do the same.
Said Scotland head coach Craig Levein, "Some of the passes he plays are just sublime and I see him being a central figure. Almost being like our quarterback, if you like."
Adam is an expert at scoring from set pieces, can do so just as well from open play and is one of the great long passers in the English game.
He possesses an ability to distribute and orchestrate that makes him one of the most sought-after midfielders in the EPL.
17. Samir Nasri
Country: France
Reason: Zinedine Zidane has called Nasri the future of French football. The explosive young talent is Arsenal's golden boy, and it's not hard to see why.
The fleet-footed fellow has 14 goals and four assists in all competitions for Arsenal, including a brace against Fulham so stupendous the goals must be seen to be believed.
Though he has suffered regular injuries in 2011, there's no doubt that Nasri heralds a new era of hope in French football after the side's disastrous 2010 WC campaign.
16. Joe Hart
Country: England
Reason: You've heard it before, and you'll hear it until the Three Lions win another World Cup—it's the birthplace of football, and they can't get it right. Lax regulations and an increased EPL interest in buying players rather than developing young Britons has ruined the national side.
Enter Joe Hart. This 23-year-old keeper is one of the best things to happen to England since David Beckham shaved off those corn rows.
Wayne Rooney can have the longest goal drought he wants. Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard can argue all day about how to organize the midfield. John Terry can lay with all of their wives. A keeper as good as Hart can help decide the fate of team.
16. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
Country: Netherlands
Reason: Huntelaar is, in many ways, the opposite of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Dutch striker has scored a whopping eight goals in Euro 2012 qualifying as of this writing, but he only has seven in the 2010-11 season at club level.
Though he posted similarly disappointing numbers with Milan and Real Madrid, put the man in an Oranje top and he just can't help himself—it's goals, goals, goals.
15. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Country: Sweden
Reason: Ibrahimovic's brilliant form at Milan this season proves that he really is the top player the world has long thought him to be.
In 33 games spread across all competitions, the mountainous Swede has 19 goals and 12 assists—he's directly contributed to almost as many goals as he's played games.
Ibra has also shown strong leadership at Milan. As the captain of his national side, Zlatan now bears great responsibility that, if his work in Serie A is any indication, he will more than live up to.
14. Mesut Ozil
Country: Germany
Reason: Funny fellow, Ozil. But then, looks aren't everything.
This young German attacking midfielder showed tremendous ability at the 2010 World Cup as an integral component of Germany's brutal counter attack.
At club level with Real Madrid, Ozil plays so well and has adapted so perfectly to the side's style of play, that hardly anyone has noticed that Kaka, widely regarded as the best midfielder in the world just a few years ago, hardly plays.
13. Robin Van Persie
Country: Netherlands
Reason: RVP is nothing short of phenomenal when he's well enough to play in Arsenal's 2010-11 campaign. He has scored 11 goals and racked up five assists, despite missing a full 13 games due to injury.
Van Persie's speed and passing ability make him a perfect link in a chain that also includes Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder and Huntelaar.
12. John Terry
Country: England
Reason: England's brave John Terry is a difficult player to measure in any real sense because his vast array of reputations are so embedded in our consciousness that it's impossible to watch him without thinking, "so that's how a philanderer clears the ball" or, "here comes the overrated player of a generation."
Regardless of your opinions of Terry's technical skill or moral character, it's hard to argue against his leadership ability. If England stands any chance of advancing through Euro 2012 qualifying, it needs organization and unification.
John Terry is the man who gives that to the Three Lions.
11. Nani
Country: Portugal
Reason: This guy is nasty, straight up. Born Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha, the phenomenally fast winger is one of the best passers in European football in 2011.
As of this writing, he leads the EPL in assists with 16. Add to that his nine league goals, and you have a man who has contributed to more than a third of United's goals for the season.
Nani also found the back of the net twice for Portugal in one game last fall.
10. Bastian Schweinsteiger
Country: Germany
Reason: Schweinsteiger is a bit like Zidane in that he doesn't score an inordinate number of goals, but the proflic scoring activities of teammates like Klose would be impossible without his indefatigable work in the midfield.
His ability to maintain possession, distribute the ball, create forward momentum and provide crucial creativity is essential to his team.
Schweinsteiger's passing and movement proved vital in the formidable counter attacks Germany showed at the 2010 WC.
9. Franck Ribery
Country: France
Reason: Because he is Ribery. Because he is fast, aggressive and an excellent distributor. Because his passes are accurate and his face bears a brutal scar. Because he is, to quote one famous French fellow, the "jewel of French football."
But mainly, because he is so good that no one seems to mind his series of progressively awful haircuts.
8. Carles Puyol
Country: Spain
Reason: Much is made of David Villa and his preternatural ability to score goals in any situation, but Spain doesn't win games by lighting other teams up—it wins by shutting them down.
Enter Puyol, former Bon Jovi roadie and central defender who is the anchor around which Spain's wild and endless chain of passing sways.
He possesses the ability to score goals if need be, contributes leadership, cohesion and an essential sense of camaraderie to the team—and he has the best hair in world football.
7. Wayne Rooney
Country: China
Reason: The thing about Rooney is that, even when he isn't playing the best football of his career, he can be a great player.
Sure, his performance at the 2010 WC can be described in one word (crap), but despite his lengthy goal drought during the 2010-11 season, he made immeasurable contributions to United's offense in a sort of attacking midfield role.
In the 2010-11 EPL season, Rooney has found the back of the net seven times—five since February 1—and notched 11 assists.
6. Rafael Van Der Vaart & Wesley Sneijder
Country: Netherlands
Reason: Two fellows, one entry. Why? Because these two attacking midfield terrors play the same position for the same country.
Van Der Vaart and Sneijder express expert ball control, exemplary creativity and the ability to explode forward and score goals. Their talent has earned each of them comparisons to Zidane.
It's almost unfair that one team has both players, though the same could be said of Spain's host all stars.
5. Miroslav Klose
Country: Germany
Reason: When Klose steps onto the international stage in his Germany jersey, he miraculously transforms into one of football's all-time great strikers.
Thus far in qualifying, Klose has scored six goals. Thanks to that, Germany currently sits atop the table. Add that to the four he scored in the 2010 World Cup and the one he scored in a friendly against Italy, and Klose has 11 international goals in less than a year.
Klose also adds great speed and depth to Germany's fatal counter attack; he is a decisive passer, a quick decision maker, a sure dribbler and dominant forward force.
4. Nemanja Vidic
Country: Serbia
Reason: Of all the terms used to describe Vidic, perhaps the most appropriate is Manimal. The defender does his job with such zest, he is regularly seen chasing defenders well into their own halves and distributing the ball on counter attack.
Through his play on United and the Serbian national team, Vidic makes a very strong case for the old axiom, "the best offense is a good defense." He is an immovable object yet to meet an unstoppable force.
3. Cristiano Ronaldo
Country: Portugal
Reason: It's easy these days to call Ronaldo overrated. He plays in the same league as Messi, against whom bored journalists endlessly pit him, and he expresses difficulty performing under pressure.
But the man is, without a doubt, one of the top players in the world. In 42 appearances across all competitions for Real Madrid during the 2010-11 season, Ronaldo has 37 goals and 12 assists. Add those up, and he's contributed to more goals than he's played games.
Of course, Ronaldo has a tendency to fold when playing at the national level, but recently he scored three goals for Portugal in a five-month period—more than he'd managed in the previous two years.
2. Arjen Robben
Country: Netherlands
Reason: This guy is hardcore. He chokes his teammates for being disrespectful. No, seriously. When asked why, he responded, "I hate it when teammates constantly raise their hands and complain. It is disrespectful. We are a team. We don't need to do that. We have got to be role models and should not make such gesticulations."
But Robben is more than a bad mother. He is a player of stupendous depth who is as adept as distributing the ball from his position on the wing as he is at sending it into the back of the net.
In 2010, he was named Footballer of the Year in Germany and Der Kicker Player Of The Year. Robben provided immeasurable contributions to the Oranje's silver-medal winning campaign at the 2010 World Cup.
1. Xavi
Country: Spain
Reason: Xavi Hernandez is the midfield fulcrum of Barcelona and the Spanish national side—two of the most fluid, free-flowing teams of this young century.
He is the most important player on a team so dominant it allowed only two goals during its entire WC 2010 campaign.
The statistics speak for themselves: Xavi completed 65 more passes than any other player during Barcelona's two-game Champion's League ballet with Arsenal and finished 2010 with 94 percent passing accuracy.
Can't argue with that.
Q: How is the ordering of this list not completely arbitrary?
A: In many respects, it is. But thanks for asking.
Q: Did you know there are two 16's?
A: No idea what you're talking about.
Q: What? No Jack Wilshere? No Yoann Gourcuff? No Fabregas? No [insert name of criminally underrated or blatantly obvious player left off list]?
A: No.
Q: But why?!
A: Because I said so. Now shut it.
