What's stood out so far in the Copa?
Michael Bradley was bad but maybe that isnt his fault
CHRISTOPHER MCCOLLUM - Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Shockwaves reverberated through American soccer circles when Jurgen Klinsmann announced the roster for upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.
These shockwaves were in response to the omission of a player who has been riding a streak of superb club performances, earning plaudits from pundits both foreign and domestic.
It's Sacha Kljestan, right? Nope. Herculez Gomez? Nope. Michael Parkhurst? Nope. All three of those former cases of National Team neglect have been called into duty, though their stories at one time or another shared the same characteristics as the seemingly glaring omission of Jozy Altidore.
Klinsmann's roster to face Antigua and Barbuda and Guatemala features the shocking absence of the AZ Alkmaar sharpshooter who currently leads the Eredevisie in scoring. Altidore has been a regular feature on National Team rosters and in National Team lineups for years now, and his run of consecutive World Cup Qualifying appearances was far and away beyond his next best challenger on the roster.
Altidore has 23 goals in 42 league appearances for AZ, which is nothing short of remarkable for a young American striker on a foreign stage. His additional five goals in domestic cup and Europa League play are the icing on top, and his three assists this season have shown him to be a competent playmaker as well.
He has been logging consistent playing time under the same hardnosed coach that spurred Michael Bradley to great things, and though his work rate continues to be questioned at times, Altidore largely seems to have finally settled into a groove.
All of this success has kept him in Klinsmann's plans this year, allowing Altidore to keep his spot with the National Team. Just like Brad Friedel's streak ending this past weekend with Tottenham, however, this too was bound to come to an end. The key difference between the two though, is that Friedel's end was seemingly uncalled for, and Altidore's is seemingly wholly deserved.
It may seem like a shocking conclusion to reach, but statistics work in favor of it, and while statistics can be flawed, there comes a time when they need to be given some weight. The statistics in Altidore's case do not add up to him continuing to be a presence on the National Team. Going back to 2010, Altidore has played in 23 games for the red, white and blue, logging 1,462 minutes, or an average of 63 minutes per game. During that time, he has recorded four goals and three assists.
The numbers don't lie in this case. There are intangible benefits of having Altidore on the field, such as his ability to draw defenders and get the opposing team in foul trouble (though even that has been called into question recently), but his efficacy as a striker has been whittled down more and more. His scoring rate is a mediocre one goal every 365 minutes, and his assist rate is once every 487 minutes.
Taken together, Altidore is directly involved in a U.S. goal every 208 minutes since 2010, and his shot on goal average isn't much better, at one in every 132 minutes. It should go without saying that in order to be an effective forward, you should be making an impact on the offensive end of the field at much better numbers than those. Hitting one shot on goal every three halves is not a recipe for success.
It has been the case on multiple recent occasions that players who have been performing strongly with their club teams have been denied National Team call ups by Klinsmann, much to the angst of the fans and confusion of the journalists who try to make heads or tails of the often bewildering coach. Gomez was annihilating Mexican defenses and Kljestan was an integral part of a title winning team that earned a shot at the UEFA Champions League. Gomez's demons were exorcised months ago, and Kljestan has likewise seen a reversal of fortunes with this announcement.
These players have been a testament to Klinsmann's willingness to accept club success at face value, and to give them a shot on the National Team. It may have taken awhile, especially in the case of Kljestan, but the calls came. Shockingly, it's the same case with Eddie Johnson who has been an exceptional goal scorer with Seattle this season. There is no conspiracy here, and there probably is not even a grudge of some sort that may relate to a possible bone headed tweet from Altidore after Klinsmann criticised the forward's effort. It's simply trying to find the right players for the right games.
It didn't slip under the radar, but alarm claxons have not been ringing about Chris Wondolowski's exclusion from the roster, even though he too leads a league in scoring. He is coming close to breaking the MLS single season scoring record, has been exceptional this season and last, yet he has not shown enough in National Team camps to be given a shot at a higher stage. That's just the way it is sometimes, and that's the way it is appearing to be for Altidore as well.
The system employed at AZ benefits Altidore because he is the focus of the attack, and it also helps that Dutch defense is not up to snuff lately. His goals have been pictures of class, his movement off the ball has been great, but he works within a system that utilizes him the way he needs to be utilized. Klinsmann has too many other players worth considering to make Altidore the focal point, and as a result, Altidore slips down the pecking order because he either cannot, or simply has not, adjusted.
Perhaps this is the swift kick in the rear that Altidore has shown to sometimes need in order to get going. For too long he has been loafing around on the field wearing a U.S. jersey, seemingly held unaccountable for not showing up to play except on rare occasions. There are plenty of other players who have been guilty of the same thing for one or two games, but few outside of Altidore have been allowed to be unproductive in their position for so long.
Altidore has been outscored by Gomez, Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan in 2012. That is not a bad thing, all three of those players are perfectly capable of finding the back of the net. But consider this: Altidore has the same number of goals as Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Carlos Bocanegra, Ricardo Clark and goal machines Michael Orozco and Graham Zusi.
Something's not right there, and though it obviously doesn't tell the whole story, this is the reason why Altidore has been left off the roster. Even though he's playing great for AZ, he has not played great for the National Team when given the same opportunities. Because of that, he is not getting looked over, disrespected, insulted, or screwed by Klinsmann. This is the difference between his case now, and the cases of Gomez and Kljestan. Those players were performing well with no National Team contact and earned a call up, while Altidore lost his call up because of continuous subpar performances for his country.
This is what's fair, and Klinsmann should be lauded for not keeping players around just because, even though they are regulars on the team. At least that's the case here- tackling the Maurice Edu situation will require an entirely different article.

Good article! One point of constructive feedback on this opinion would be that it ignores potential. Unfortunately for Jozy, he has been in the international spotlight since he was 18. So even though he has progressed over the past 3-4 years, he still isn't a star, he has to mature, and he has developmental items to work on. And the results/expectations placed on him as a teenager were likely unrealistic.
The reality is - Jozy is still 22 (1.5 year older than Boyd, and 9 months older than Corona). These two (chosen as the first I thought of, but no other specific reason) have yet to show Jozy's professional promise yet they would receive less criticism for inferior results since their future appears to be bright.
I would argue the article is a correct reflection of the past and current predicaments. Yet at 22, it is likely Jozy's best football is still ahead of him. And it is likely he is the best early 20s striker currently available for call-up. As such, he must be in JK's plans.
Thursday October 18, 2012 11:15 am
5 goals in two "worrysome" games.....2 by EJ and 1 assist by EJ.....Also, 2 by Dempsey who has struggled a bit when playing behind Altidore......I would have to say whether we like it or not (I know this was A&T and Guatemala), but it looks like Altidore has some splaining to do if/when he comes back
Wednesday October 17, 2012 11:59 am
Interesting article and there are a few points I agree with, but on the whole I don't think it was a good idea to leave Altidore off the roster. JK has always said that form and playing time will be a key ingredient to call ups and no one has had a better run of form for their league than JA. I do agree that JA needs to work harder on the national team but he is still a threat and gets other people open because of his combination of size and speed. I am very happy to see that we moved and played very well yesterday, I am also happy to see EJ finally doing well again, but neither EJ or Herc are as talented as JA and maybe this will be a wake up call (I sure hope it is), but if he is continually left off the roster it will hurt us in the long run.
Wednesday October 17, 2012 11:40 am
The fact JK is not taking the easy road here....is impressive....which means he doesn't give a damn what we all think. He cud be out of a job tomorrow, and go back to his quiet life in LA and cud care less. He continues to search for players that can play his style and have the right attitude. And for a country that as recently as South Africa had NO BENCH, USA is still alive and has yet to put it's best 11 or at least the most senior 11 on the field, is amazing. If someone had posted by in June that LD would not have a goal and USA still moves on, we would have run him off the site
Tuesday October 16, 2012 12:24 am
Great article, great points, if JA was producing, there would be no question of him starting, under BB he was automatic choice, now he has to prove himself and stay at a high level nearly every call up. Great job and go Tigers!!!
Saturday October 13, 2012 2:13 am
I don't think that Altidore would have scored on either of EJ's headers. I do think he would have scored on both the opportunities that Herc screwed up. Klinsman has some tough decisions to make.
Friday October 12, 2012 9:32 am
Thank you Alex. Finally somebody with an unbiased, clear thinking head on his shoulders. Jozy has been hated on since day 1. The same things were said about Dempsey for awhile too. Its something with young, (over?)hyped players that people are quick to judge any deficiencies they might have. Its happened with ALL OF THEM.
@kicksNgiggles - how are you going to tell a player he has to integrate to Klinsmanns style of play when he plays a different style WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT for his club team? Extremely difficult for a player to adjust like that.
Its such BS that Jozy is being singled out on this issue. NO FORWARD HAS PRODUCED FOR US in the past 5-6 years to be honest. Its been a slew of guys that have given us a goal here and there.
We do not have a midfield that can consistently possess the ball. I still cant figure out what style of play Klinsmann is trying to implement with this team. He constantly harps about how he wants to take the game to the opponent. But every roster he announces seems to be setup towards the oppenents style of play.
Wednesday October 10, 2012 1:25 pm
This article is completely one sided. Nobody is saying that Jozy has been a stellar strike for the USMNT but who has? The real question is "Have the people that JK called in instead of Jozy demonstrated that they would bet better than Jozy for a make or break series of games?" I don't think the answer to that question is yes and that is why I think JK is making a big mistake. I am crossing my fingers that Herc stays healthy and this is all academic, but I would rather have Jozy in the line up if things go bad than Eddie or Alan.
Wednesday October 10, 2012 10:08 am
Brilliant article, and comments as well. Is this not what we all wanted? To have Klinsi come in and shake things up? For him to have "total control"? Altidore was a staple under BB and 9 times out of 10 he underperformed then as well. Paul is on the money. Altidore is lazy. He is big and strong and for the Nats he plays like a sissy. To agree with Paul again, if Jozy had anywhere near the work ethic of Gomez or Demps he would be scarey. His situation at AZ is easy for him. It fits his style. He has got to learn how to fit in on this National team. It would be a waste for him to fall by the wayside and not find a way to be an integral part of USA soccer. With that being said, if he does not or cannot adjust, I will not miss him. He has done nothing for us lately. Why waste a spot to someone who will work harder?
Wednesday October 10, 2012 9:36 am
Ok, so if not Jozy, then who? We've been struggling at the forward position for years now. I dont mind seeing EJ on this roster, but Herc hasnt done much either except run his butt off. Which is great, by the way, but its not getting different results. We have strikers and forwards scoring goals all over the world. Why is it that they cannot produce for the national team?

After updating my drivers for my system's TouchPad I was unable to use the scrolling feature on the it. What could be causing this, and is there a way to revert to an older driver if it is not possible to fix this?
A possible cause for this that Scrolling has yet to be activated.
To do so,
Go to Control Panel >> Hardware and Sound >> Mouse >> Device Settings >> Settings>> Scrolling>>Enable
The Scrolling feature should now be activated.

Ironman Tallinn – Tallinn, United Kingdom
IRONMAN Tallinn 2020 will take place on 1st of August in Estonia's capital, located on the Baltic sea. The city is situated on the northern coast of the country, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, 80 km south of Helsinki, east of Stockholm, and west of Saint Petersburg in Harju County. Considered one of the most beautiful and best preserved medieval cities in Europe, today's Tallinn is home to 445,000 people and has gained a reputation as Europe's Silicon Valley. Most notably, the internet telephony company Skype was founded here. The city is a convenient hub for travel as well, served by its convenient airport and ferry services that connect the city to Helsinki, Mariehamn, Stockholm, and St. Petersburg. Visitors will be amazed by the city's unique culture and cuisine.
Tallinn will become only the second capital in Europe to host an IRONMAN event, sharing this distinction with Denmark's IRONMAN Copenhagen. The race will be the second IRONMAN event in Estonia after the IRONMAN 70.3 Otepää.
The race begins with a 3.8 km two-loop swim in the Baltic sea near the Seaplane Harbour museum. Athletes will then continue onto a 180.2 km two-loop bike course which will bring them along the coastline and nearby villages. The final 42.2 km four-loop run takes participants through the historical city center of Tallinn, an UNESCO world heritage site, and finishes on Freedom Square.

While JPA defines support for application identity only DataNucleus also provides support for datastore identity . With datastore identity you are leaving the assignment of id's to DataNucleus and your class will not have a field for this identity - it will be added to the datastore representation by DataNucleus. It is, to all extents and purposes a surrogate key that will have its own column in the datastore. To specify that a class is to use datastore identity with JPA, you define the following annotations on your class
@Entity @org.datanucleus.api.jpa.annotations.DatastoreIdentity public class MyClass { ... }
Please note that since the JPA XML metadata is poorly designed it is not possible to specify datastore identity using XML, you have to use the annotations.
By choosing datastore identity you are handing the process of identity generation to the DataNucleus. This does not mean that you haven't got any control over how it does this. JPA defines many ways of generating these identities and DataNucleus supports all of these and provides some more of its own besides.
Defining which one to use is a simple matter of adding a MetaData element to your classes definition, like this
@Entity @org.datanucleus.api.jpa.annotations.DatastoreIdentity(generationType=GenerationType.TABLE) public class MyClass { ... }
See also :-
When using datastore identity , the class has no associated field so you can't just access a field of the class to see its identity - if you need a field to be able to access the identity then you should be usingapplication identity. There are, however, ways to get the identity for the datastore identity case, if you have the object.
Object id = JDOHelper.getObjectId(obj);
You should be aware however that the "identity" is in a complicated form, and is not available as a simple integer value for example. Again, if you want an identity of that form then you should use application identity
When implementing datastore identity DataNucleus provides a public class that represents this identity. If you call JDOHelper.getObjectId(...) for a class using datastore identity you will be passed an object which, in the case of DataNucleus will be of type org.datanucleus.identity.OIDImpl . If you were to call "toString()" on this object you would get something like
1[OID]mydomain.myclass This is made up of :- 1 = identity number of this object class-name
DataNucleus allows you the luxury of being able to provide your own datastore identity class so you can have whatever formatting you want for identities.
You can also access the object from the object class name and the toString() form of the datastore identity (e.g "101[OID]mydomain.MyClass") like this
Object obj = em.find(MyClass.class, mykey);
or in "datanucleus-api-jpa" 3.0.7+ you can also just pass in the "key" value, like this
Object obj = em.find(MyClass.class, 101);

Comedy television is an incredibly difficult avenue in which to find success. We're inundated with a multitude of comedy series every day, ranging from the quirky and offbeat to the rote and mundane. Writer/director/actress Lena Dunham is trying her hand at the medium with HBO's Girls, and what she's created is a funny, touching, and realistic look at life as an ambitious yet ambivalent twentysomething in the big city. Moreover, Girls fills the need for a smart female-centric series that paints women as strong yet fallible human beings who are entirely relatable and unbelievably funny. Hit the jump to read my review of the series premiere of Girls.
Tiny Furniture writer/director/actress Lena Dunham spearheads this new HBO comedy series as the show's driving creative force. She wrote and directed the pilot, of which she's also the lead actress. Dunham plays Hannah, a 24-year-old aspiring writer living in New York City, and we're introduced to her in the opening scene. She's having dinner with her parents when halfway through the meal, her mother and father decide to tell her that they're cutting her off financially. They remind her that they've been supporting her since she graduated from college two years ago, and she needs to start living a life free from their tether.
Hannah's personality becomes crystal clear in how she reacts to the news at hand (disbelief with a touch of "how dare you!"), and we come to understand that she's not really a bad person, she's just very young. She believes she has the talent to be a great writer, but she forgets that she has to actually put in the work to become successful. It's not that she's lazy; she's just blissfully ignorant of exactly how hard it is to be an adult.
Throughout the course of the episode, we're also introduced to Hannah's three friends Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke), and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet). Marnie is the "motherly" friend of the group, and is played with balanced maturity and self-doubt by Allison Williams. She's Hannah's roommate and is always trying to limit the damage that comes from Hannah's poor decision-making skills, skimming over the poor choices she makes herself. Jessa is a Brit who lives a bohemian lifestyle and appears to have it all figured out. As we soon discover, her "free-living" existence is merely a façade for some deeper insecurities. Shoshanna, to use her own words, is a bit of a "Samantha." She's Jessa's roommate and cousin, and longs to live a life full of extravagance and fun but is bogged down by her own innocence and overall uncoolness.
The pilot is extremely well put together, with a sharp introduction to Hannah and her friends, followed by a hilarious downward spiral towards the end in which Hannah decides to confront her parents about the money situation. The episode also features what might possibly be the most awkward/uncomfortable sex scene played for laughs in recent memory. Hannah goes to see her semi-boyfriend (he's more like a "sex friend") played with just the right amount of douchiness and charm by Adam Driver. They proceed to have a spontaneous and hilarious sexual encounter, made all the more funny by Hannah's reaction to the matter at hand.
Given that the show is a comedy, the important question is, is it funny? The answer is, absolutely. Dunham's dry demeanor and overall cluelessness plays like gangbusters in the most uncomfortable of situations, and watching the trials and tribulations of Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna is equally enjoyable. They stumble through life, making many of the same mistakes and impulse decisions that I assume a fair amount of viewers will be able to relate to. Any college graduate who's had the experience of being thrown out into the world with the expectation that you must now become an adult and be successful should feel some familiarity with the situations our lead characters find themselves in. To paraphrase a line from the pilot, college majors don't mean shit.
Each of the four leads shows great promise and moments of real insight, but all fit the titular description of "girls." They're trying to live life on their own in New York City, but at heart these twentysomethings still have a lot of growing up to do. That's the crux of what Girls is about, and I think that's where a lot of the reliability comes into play. When do we start to feel like a real "grown-up" and how do we do it? It's a serious question that everyone must face at one point or another, but it's a lot more fun watching it play out through Dunham's eyes.
Where Girls really shines is in its realism and relatability. There are plenty of TV shows that purport to be "realistic," but Girls goes one better and actually feels familiar. The jokes and aforementioned uncomfortable situations not only work because they're funny, but their execution is done so matter-of-factly and with such even-handedness that you'll find yourself swearing the same thing has happened to you. Dunham writes so well that none of the jokes ever feel forced, and the characters' hilarious reactions come off as perfectly reasonable.
If there's one qualm I have with the series going forward, it's that I'm fearful of it falling into The Office trap of too much awkwardness for its own good. This never happens in the pilot, but the awkward situations that do arise are so uncomfortable and so real that I don't know how many can come up per episode before it becomes discomforting for the viewer. That said, Dunham wrote and direct the pilot masterfully, with some solid input from executive producer Judd Apatow, so I'm hopeful that we'll never run into this issue.
Girls makes yet another welcomed addition to this Golden Age of television that we're currently living through. Some of the best storytelling of any medium is happening on the small screen, and Dunham's comedic yet poignant take on ambitious twentysomethings looks to fit that mold perfectly. Furthermore, she's crafted an intelligent series centering on strong, human, and funny females that neither looks down upon women nor paints them as exaggerated caricatures. Girls is real, relatable, and above all uproariously fun.
Girls premieres on Sunday, April 15th on HBO at 10:30pm/9:30c

Heavens Very Special Child
A meeting was held quite far from Earth.
"It's time again for another birth."
Said the angels to the lord above.
"This special child will need much love."
"Her progress may seem quite slow
Accomplishments she may not show
And she will require extra care
From the folks she meets way down there.
She may not run or laugh or play
Her thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways she won't adapt.
And she'll be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful for where she's sent.
We want her life to be content.
Please, Lord find her parents who
Will do a special job for you.
They will not realize right away
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for this gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meet and mild
Is Heaven's very special child."

UNIONDALE, N.Y., May 5 (UPI) -- Chris Kunitz fired home a goal 8:44 into overtime Sunday, hoisting Pittsburgh to a 5-4 win over the New York Islanders and a 2-1 lead in their playoff series.
The Islanders staged a late comeback, forcing overtime with a pair of third-period goals from Kyle Okposo and John Tavares.
But in the extra frame, New York's Brian Strait was whistled for a controversial holding call on Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby, handing the Penguins a power play.
Thirty-three seconds later Kunitz converted a close-range shot from the left circle off a feed from Crosby, and the Pens grabbed the advantage in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.
Kunitz also scored in the first period and added an assist while Crosby finished with three helpers in the victory.
Marc-Andre Fleury turned aside 32-of-36 shots for the Pens.
Okposo added an assist while Casey Cizikas and Matt Moulson also found the net for the Islanders.
Evgeni Nabokov made 20 stops in the loss.

Danville Virginia now has a Farm to Table restaurant. Last weekend The 616 had its grand opening.
The executive chef (and part owner)Chris King is also a farmer. He and his partner Darcy Cropp own King Cropp Farm, one of a handful of local chemical-free farms. They are mainstays at our farmers market.
We're excited to see Danville finally getting on board with Farm to Table. We're especially pleased that our farm is one of the partner farms, and our food is on the menu. Because Chris and Darcy are farmers, they understand the seasonality of food production. The menu at The 616 will change daily, to reflect what is available locally.
We're hoping the restaurant will be a great success.

Managing Your Racing Business: Start Planning For A Successful 2011 Sales Season
Start planning now to turn 2011 into an outstanding sales effort!
By Meredith Kaplan Burns
If you haven't already started planning for 2011, there is still time to set and implement clear, concise, and obtainable goals for your business to keep your bottom line in the black.
Developing and implementing a business plan for your racing business is important because it acts as a guide and can give direction to your business in regards to sales, marketing, expansion, and much more.
According to Kevin Gerhardt, of Western Speed & Fuel, in Fresno, California, who plans his business up to three years in advance, having a business plan "is so important so you can plan depending on the changing times. Especially now with the economy the way it is. It used to be that a yearly review was good enough and now a three to four month review seems to be the norm. You have to be ready to change tactics 'midstride.'"
Because of the current economy, he said, "most people today are not buying anything in advance of needing it. They are waiting until they absolutely need it then we as retailers are expected to have it in stock or be able to get it quickly."
Gerhardt's business plan includes past sales history, current market conditions, and overall business climate.
Jim Morsch of Continental Motorsport Services, based in Mason, Ohio, with an onsite store at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, in Lexington, Ohio, agreed that business owners these days need to be quick to react and open to change. "I think the way the business is a year ahead is about all you can do in terms of planning. Things change too fast to plan five years ahead because you just don't know which way the industry is going."
Because Morsch operates a trackside operation at Mid-Ohio, planning inventory can be tricky. "It's a crystal ball," he noted, laughing, "and sometimes it's real black. You just have to go with your gut feeling about what has sold the year before.
"You mainly want to concern yourself at the track with items that they are going to need to keep going and all the other accessory type things are nice to have," he continued. "That is what we are running into right now with the way the economy is. It's 'gee that's on my wish list' or 'I'd like to have that, but I really need an oil pressure sender' or 'I really need a mirror because I just broke a mirror,' things like that."
One method of adding new products to the Continental Motorsport Services inventory is Morsch and his team keep track of all the requests from customers they get through the year. If they receive two or three requests for a particular item, they will seriously consider adding that to the inventory mix.
"You have to listen to the customer for what they want because what we've run into and one of the biggest changes we've had is you don't sell what you want to sell, you sell what they want to buy. That can be tough," he added.
Setting Your Goals
Success is found by clearly stating goals, going after them, and achieving them. However, through that process, failure often happens, and the experienced and successful business owner is not deterred by the failure, but finding out why the failure occurred and how to overcome that issue in the future in order to achieve success.
When setting goals for your business, first, the goal must be clearly defined and measurable. A business owner may review product sales in 2009 and 2010 and see that sales of oil filters aren't as strong as he would like. He might decide, "I'm going to sell more oil filters in 2011." However, by just stating the increase of sales without a plan will not produce results.
First, set a goal of how many oil filters to sell each month. If the goal is 20 units each month during the race season, then how will that goal be reached?
There are several methods, which retailers are familiar with from putting the product on "special." These include highlighting a specific display in your showroom or even promoting the product in an e-newsletter as the "product of the month."
Bundling is another excellent option to increase sales of products when purchased together. For example, offer a special of the oil filter included as a package with the oil tank, pan, and pump. Often, bundling sells several products together at a reduced cost, which is appealing to the customer as opposed to buying the products individually.
Also, one of the most effective sales methods is for your counter people to just ask, "can I add a new oil filter to your purchase today?" Amazing what a simple question can do to increase a sale before the customer walks out of the store.
Action Steps
Once your goals have been set, write down the action steps to take. What are the goals and how will you achieve them? For example, if you plan to create an email marketing program, is this something that one of your employees can design and implement or will you need to outsource? What aspects of your business do you want to promote in the program? Some topics to consider including are technical information for products you carry, upcoming sales and events, customers who have achieved success on the race track, and anything else you believe your customers will find important. Also, ask them what they would like to learn in your e-newsletter. Customers can be a great source of ideas.
For other new, fresh ideas, the team that surrounds you day in and day out can be a terrific source of innovative strategies to implement that improve the business. Contributions can be made from every person to increase sales and decrease overhead, don't overlook anyone. Also, be open to their suggestions. Ask them why they believe the idea can be effective, how they would implement it, and the result. A simple suggestion about how to reorganize the workflow could save valuable time in an engine shop, or a newly designed showroom could focus customers' attention on specific products and increase sales.
Be Open to New Ideas
Whether it's expanding your product lines or entering into new markets, look for new opportunities to expand sales. For example, if a shop specializing in the drag race market hires someone who is heavily involved in the sport compact drag scene, this might be a new market to explore. Or, an open wheel shop has an employee whose children are involved in quarter midgets. Reaching out to the quarter midget market is an excellent way to attract new, young customers who can turn into loyal, lifelong customers of the future.
Goal planning does not have to be time consuming and overwhelming. With just a few specific goals for your business in 2011 and beyond, along with some practical methods to achieve these goals, your business can stay strong and be ready for and open to change when needed.

Zoom!® Teeth Whitening in Granger, IN
When it comes to teeth, the general consensus is that the whiter the better. However, sometimes people don't have the time to wait the weeks it takes using a specialty toothpaste or at-home whitening kit to get a brighter smile. Luckily for these individuals, there is a solution that allows them to have whiter teeth fast. The Zoom!® whitening system has been shown to effectively improve the look of teeth in about an hour – and our Granger dentists perform it for you.
The Zoom!® system uses a unique gel that is applied to the teeth, and then a special light is used to help accelerate the bleaching process. During the Zoom!® whitening process, the hydrogen peroxide in the gel is broken down and enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained surfaces. This whitens the teeth while leaving the structure unchanged. All of this takes place in about the course of an hour, and the Zoom!® system has been shown to leave teeth up to eight times whiter. Clearly, one simple trip to the dentist can result in these dramatic improvements.
Before the our Granger dentists will perform the Zoom!® whitening, they will give each patient a full dental exam. We want to make sure that you get the exact results that you're looking for, which means correctly identifying the underlying cause behind tooth discoloration. While a diet rich in sugary foods, red wine and coffee, combined with insufficient dental care habits can all cause teeth to lose their shine, serious dental issues could also be the reason behind discoloration. Tooth decay or defective fillings can also cause teeth to become yellow, and if that is the case then it's important to have these problems treated. Furthermore, gum disease and other basic dental issues should be taken care of before whitening can occur.
When people leave the dentist's office after receiving Zoom!® whitening treatments, they will be tempted by all of the bad habits that caused their teeth to yellow in the first place. Our Granger dentists understand this, which is why they provide each patient with an at-home teeth whitening kit to help withe their maintenance of their newly-whitened teeth. To craft these kits, the dentist will make an impression of each patients teeth to create a tray that will fit perfectly, the dentists will also provide patients will detailed instructions to make sure they use them correctly. So contact a Granger dentist today and learn more about Zoom!® whitening.

The race to become leader of the world's most powerful democracy often seemed disconnected from reality. During debates, the two main candidates stooped to insults, half-truths and outright lies. The overall campaign included appallingly ignorant statements about women.
But the most bewildering disconnect was over the greatest threat the world faces: global warming. Republican candidate Mitt Romney only mentioned it mockingly, and President Barack Obama brought it up in passing toward the end of the campaign and in one line during his acceptance speech.
We should probably be happy that the candidate who at least acknowledged the seriousness of climate change won. Obama has had more to say since being elected to his second term. "I am a firm believer that climate change is real, that it is impacted by human behaviour and carbon emissions, and as a consequence I think we have an obligation to future generations to do something about it," he told reporters at a post-election news conference.
He went on to list his accomplishments on climate during his first term: better fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, increased clean-energy production and investment in "breakthrough technologies that could further remove carbon from our atmosphere." But those were inadequate, given the scope of the problem
He should have done more. As investment strategist Jeremy Grantham recently wrote in Nature, "President Barack Obama missed the chance of a lifetime to get a climate bill passed, and his great environmental and energy scientists John Holdren and Steven Chu went missing in action."
Part of the problem is the increasingly dysfunctional nature of a polarized and paralyzed U.S. political system -- including a Congress dominated by anti-environmental, anti-tax and often anti-government Republicans. Many of us -- not just Americans -- hope the president will show stronger leadership this time around. Unfortunately, his news conference statement sent mixed messages. Although he acknowledged that more should be done and promised to have "a wide-ranging conversation with scientists, engineers and elected officials" about reducing carbon, he also said "if the message somehow is that we're going to ignore jobs and growth simply to address climate change, I don't think anyone's going to go for that. I won't go for that."
He went on to acknowledge the costs of climate-related natural disasters and mentioned the danger of climate change as "something we're passing on to future generations that's going to be very expensive and very painful to deal with."
In trying to say the right thing without alienating the fossil fuel industry and other moneyed interests, he came across as confused. Even though it will be expensive and painful not to act, he's not prepared to take the necessary steps if it will impede jobs and growth. But climate change is already costing the U.S., and the rest of the world -- in money, human health and lives. The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, droughts and floods is in line with what climate scientists have been predicting for decades -- and evidence is mounting that what's happening is more severe than predicted, and will get far worse still if we fail to act.
Because our leaders -- in Canada and the U.S. -- have too long listened to fossil fuel interests and their denier minions rather than scientists, it will be more difficult than it might have been to reduce carbon emissions to the extent necessary to prevent runaway global warming (if it's not too late already), and it may require more sacrifice than it would have had we acted sooner. But there are many ways to protect the health of the planet and the future of humanity without destroying economies.
Conserving energy and thus saving money, reducing consumption of unnecessary products and packaging and shifting to a clean-energy economy would likely hurt the bottom line of polluting industries, but would undoubtedly have positive effects for most of us. Many scientists and economists also say putting a price on carbon through carbon taxes and/or cap-and-trade is necessary. Rethinking the economy as a means and not an end in itself would also help.
If America wants to retain its position as a global power, its president must listen to the people and show strong leadership at this turning point in human history.

sorry but I cross posted this to the period specific section as well...
I'm trying to decide which silk from my stash to use to line the sleeves of a c12th bliaut style frock. The main dress will be a repro silk brocade from sartor, I need a contrast or tone colour
I have satin, and I know satins ok for c12th, but what I have is very dark blue and I'm not sure it works with my red and gold.
the alternative is a watered taffeta/moire. I know moire silk is found in the later middle ages but I'm not too sure about the c12th/13th? anybody?
silk types for early medeival

NFL suspends Jags' Blackmon for 4 games
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon has been suspended for the first month of the 2013 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
According the team's release, Blackmon is eligible to participate in all preseason practices and games, but must sit out the first four regular season games. He can return to the roster on Sept. 30, following the Jaguars-Colts game.
"Coach Bradley and I have spoken with Justin, and he is well aware of our disappointment," Jaguars General Manager David Caldwell said in a statement released by the NFL. "I don't think there is any question that Justin is embarrassed and remorseful, and Coach Bradley and I are both confident he understands the obligations ahead of him, to himself, the franchise and the fans. We will support him throughout the process and continue to work to educate him and all of our players on making the right decisions. The Jaguars have made a lot of progress over the past three months, and we will not allow this news to slow us down."
The NFL also released this statement from Blackmon:
"I've made a mistake and I have no excuse. I am truly sorry and disappointed in myself for putting the Jaguars in this situation, and I look forward to putting this behind me and maturing and growing as a person. I will have a productive training camp and pre-season with my team, and during the suspension I will work hard to stay in top football shape and be ready to help the Jaguars when I return. I have chosen to be accountable for my poor decision, and I sincerely apologize to my teammates, coaches, the front office and Jaguars fans for the impact of my mistake on the team."

The New York affiliate of the National Rifle Association on Thursday requested an injunction to stop the state from denying residents their Second Amendment right and 14th Amendment right to equal protection under the law.
Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg rally in favor of expanded gun laws at the New York City Hall on Thursday.
Governor Andrew Cuomo and State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman are named in the lawsuit.
The NRA lawsuit claims New York's recently enacted anti-gun legislation violates the constitutional rights of "law-abiding citizens to keep commonly possessed firearms in the home for defense of self and family and for other lawful purposes."
The lawsuit neglects to mention the primary reason the founders included the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights – as a bulwark against tyranny.
"It protects the right to shoot tyrants, and it protects the right to shoot at them effectively, with the same instruments they would use upon us," a former judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Andrew Napolitano, wrote in January before the New York governor and the state legislature pushed through the most restrictive and draconian anti-Second Amendment law in the nation.
The lawsuit targets New York's unconstitutional ban on so-called "high-capacity" magazines and semiautomatic firearms erroneously classified as "assault weapons."
"Criminals have and use magazines without any limitation in capacity," the lawsuit contends. "The act's provisions on magazines put law-abiding citizens at a grave disadvantage to criminals, who will not comply with the seven-round limit."
It says the phrase "assault weapons" is "a pejorative term" used "to describe countless numbers of rifles, handguns and shotguns that were commonly possessed under prior law."
The NRA is not challenging other provisions of the law, namely tougher penalties for gun crimes.

For better or worse, Elvis Presley and Las Vegas formed a bond — in business and in pleasure — that endures
By Steve Kanigher - The Las Vegas Sun
Las Vegas love affairs are notoriously short-lived, making the one that is in its 47th year all the more special.
It started with an initial rejection, but the young, determined suitor didn't give up. He kept trying to impress in ever bigger and better ways. After he made a
movie about us — built around what would wind up being "our song" — we fell hard for each other. It was sealed with a hotel suite ceremony, and we wound
up making a lot of money together.
We grew apart later, when his drug addiction came between us. But still we couldn't let go. And with the passing of time, we memorialize more what we once
The latest symbol of Las Vegas' love affair with Elvis is "Viva Elvis," the Cirque du Soleil production at the Aria's Elvis Theater.
Indeed, for all the Elvis slot machines and all the Flying Elvi and all those Elvis impersonators, we still can't seem to get enough.
The courtship began awkwardly, as so many do — a hip-gyrating 21-year-old rock 'n' roll singer trying to woo a much older, reserved audience that favored
polished crooners and big band jazz.
Elvis, billed as the "Atomic Powered Singer," was panned in his Las Vegas premier in April 1956, opening in the New Frontier's Venus Room for comedian
Shecky Greene and the Freddy Martin orchestra. He mustered only polite applause. At a Saturday matinee, on the other hand, teens screamed with delight.
Although the concert proceeds financed lights for a baseball park — the first of many gifts he gave the city — Las Vegas preferred suitors who appealed to
big spenders. Teens couldn't gamble.
"For the teenagers, the long, tall Memphis lad is a whiz; for the average Vegas spender or showgoer, a bore," Las Vegas Sun reviewer Bill Willard wrote at
the time. "His musical sound with a combo of three is uncouth, matching to a great extent the lyric content of his nonsensical songs."
Greene remembers the Elvis of those first shows as a nice, lovable kid who simply wasn't in his element with the dressed-up nightclub crowd.
Wearing "a baseball jacket," Presley looked like he had just wandered in "from the parking lot," Greene recalls. Greene told Presley's manager, Col. Tom
Parker, that Elvis needed to dress to impress Las Vegas.
Greene even made fun of his opening act, drawing loud laughter from the audience. Presley laughed along with them.
But not everyone who saw the show thought Elvis was joke fodder.
"Bing Crosby was in the audience, and he told me Elvis would be the biggest star in show business," Greene says. "Evidently, he saw something I didn't see."
And although Las Vegas didn't see much in him yet either, Elvis reaped substantial benefits from that first date. During breaks, he and his band caught
another Strip lounge act, Freddie Bell and the Bellboys, who performed the song "Hound Dog." Within weeks of leaving town Elvis had incorporated the
song into his own live act and it became one of his biggest hits.
Although not known as a gambler, he enjoyed the city's night life, and he befriended Liberace and other big-name entertainers while developing relations
with casino executives such as Milton Prell, who owned the Sahara and Aladdin. They would make him feel at home during his frequent trips to Las Vegas.
Former Army buddy Joe Esposito, who was Presley's road manager for 17 years and is a retired Wynn Las Vegas casino host, says Presley and his posse
would stay up all night and hit the shows, often going backstage. And they were constantly surrounded by showgirls.
"He enjoyed Vegas tremendously because this was the only town you could do 24 hours a day," Esposito says. "But he was always concerned about
whether Vegas would ever like him."
It wasn't until the 1963 filming of "Viva Las Vegas" that the entire city began to fully embrace Elvis. The cast and crew were everywhere — the UNLV
gymnasium, the Flamingo swimming pool, the Tropicana skeet range.
"The big turnaround for Elvis in Vegas started with 'Viva Las Vegas' because tourism increased tremendously after he made the movie," Esposito says. "He
felt good because he was respected."
The film was capped off by the title song, in which Presley serenaded the "bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire."
His link with the city was cemented when he exchanged wedding rings with Priscilla Ann Beaulieu in Prell's suite at the Aladdin in May 1967.
"They chose Vegas because it was an easy place to get married quick," says Esposito, who served as best man. "It was discreet."
After the Elvis-Priscilla honeymoon came his much longer honeymoon with Las Vegas — a historic seven-year run at the International-turned-Las Vegas
Hilton from 1969 to 1976. The shows revived Presley's career as a live performer while injecting new life into a city that had been searching for the next
great act after the breakup of the Rat Pack.
Elvis was more than ready to appear before a live audience in Las Vegas for the first time in 13 years, even if he didn't realize it at the time.
"He was very excited that people came out to see him but he was a nervous wreck when he first walked onstage," Esposito says. "He had been so
concerned about being accepted again, and he had tears in his eyes when he was accepted."
International owner Kirk Kerkorian inked the deal with an initial $100,000-a-week contract, and Presley's image was plastered on billboards and bus
placards all over town. Elvis, wearing his trademark jumpsuits, sold out 837 consecutive shows over the seven years after opening in July 1969. Performing
two shows a night for two months each year, he sold more than $164 million worth of tickets in today's dollars to 2.5 million fans, engraving rock 'n' roll into
the city's landscape and proving that a casino showroom could make money.
Elvis gave back to local charities, allowing them to share in the proceeds of souvenirs that were sold in the hotel lobby.
This transformation, from unappreciated Las Vegas performer in 1956 to beloved superstar, had everything to do with the fact that Elvis had become about
the same age as his audience and had developed a persona befitting a showroom, College of Southern Nevada history professor Michael Green says.
"When he came back in '69 he came back with glitz, and that's what Las Vegas entertainment is all about," Green says. "He was also in his 30s by the time
he came back to the International and much closer to the age group of the people who came to see his show."
Presley's affair with the city began to sour a little toward the end, even as fans continued to jam the 2,000-seat theater. Rumors began circulating about his
increasing reliance on painkillers, amphetamines and other drugs. In his penthouse suite, he had whipped out a handgun and shot at the television and the
His rapid weight gain became noticeable. He looked tired and the quality of his stage performances began slipping. He canceled some of his Hilton
engagements because of health issues.
On Aug. 16, 1977, barely eight months after Elvis left the Hilton building for good, he died at his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tenn. He was only 42.
About 150 mourners gathered outside a Las Vegas mortuary to pay their respects at a service that featured Presley's music played through large speakers.
One fan complained that she could find no expressions of sorrow from Strip hotels.
But when the city adopted its "What happens in Vegas" mantra, Las Vegas again embraced Elvis.
"He is a good way to reach back to the old days to someone who was naughty in his youth, to someone they couldn't show from the hips down on TV,"
Green says. "It fits in with Vegas being naughty."
The tourists who want to share in Las Vegas love affair with Elvis usually make several stops around town.
A visit to the eight-home street of Elvis Presley Court doesn't usually rank high on the list. He never lived there. But Elvis has a star on the Strip's Las Vegas
Walk of Stars, made possible through a $15,000 contribution from the Viva Las Vegas! Elvis Presley Fan Club.
Fans may lament the closing of the Elvis-O-Rama museum a few years ago, but the Imperial Palace has the King's Ransom Museum, featuring his jewelry,
stage and film wardrobe and his 1977 Lincoln Continental. Elvis in black leather lives in wax at Madame Tussauds at the Venetian.
The Mecca, though, is the Las Vegas Hilton, where guests are greeted by a life-size bronze statue of The King. The hotel is planning an Elvis fan festival for
"It has been a steady flow of people who want to see where Elvis performed," Hilton marketing and entertainment boss Rick White explains. "They want to
look at the stage, and they come in all age groups."
And then there are the Elvis knock-offs, performing at the "Legends in Concert" show at Harrah's Las Vegas, the "American Superstars" at the Stratosphere
or as Big Elvis at Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon.
Elvis impersonators are so ubiquitous that they have come to symbolize Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, which promotes the city's tourism business globally, used Elvis impersonators as ambassadors at trade
shows and other events more than 40 times over the past two years.
"We're the entertainment capital of the world and he's an iconic figure whose brand has been sustained," authority spokesman Vince Alberta says.
And impersonators are mainstays at Las Vegas wedding chapels, performing their renditions of "Love Me Tender," "Can't Help Falling in Love," "I Want You,
I Need You, I Love You" and other romantic Presley tunes.
"Elvis made it hip to get married in Las Vegas," says Brian Mills, a Presley impersonator and manager of the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel.
The owner of A Little White Wedding Chapel, Charolette Richards, says her ties to Elvis go back to her preparation of the flower arrangements for Presley's
wedding. Her chapel has been conducting Elvis-themed weddings since the early 1970s. Richards estimates she has hired more than 100 Elvis
impersonators over the years.
One of them gave the full Elvis treatment recently at the wedding of Neil Cawkwell and Lynn Hassell. After the ceremony, the three of them rode down the
Strip in a pink Cadillac DeVille convertible.
"Elvis-Vegas, it works," Cawkwell says. "Elvis took Vegas into his heart, and Vegas has really taken Elvis into its heart."

|The Vedalan ground vehicle isn't a very good design. For one thing, you'd expect it to be an anti-gravity car. But even granting that it has wheels, it uses no less than three different types of wheel - which means you either have to carry three different types of spare, or you have to abandon your vehicle the first time a wheel gets broken.

|I liked the Vedalans.

|Factoid :
|My year for this episode is estimated from the Stardate; it is set between 'Is There in Truth no Beauty?' and 'The Tholian Web'.
This episode is a nominee for the DITL "Best of Trek" award.
Unfortunately, once the premise is set up the episode descends into silliness. We're never told why the Vedalans aren't doing this work themselves - sure the aliens all bring different skills and abilities with them, but surely there are Vedalans who can do at least some of these things as well? And if not, then why don't they hire aliens on a permanent basis rather than going through this rather haphazard recruiting? Nor are we even told in detail what the importance of the Soul of Skorr is - how exactly will it allow the mass breeding of soldiers? Also, how did Tchar's get onto the team? Of all the Vedalans, the one person selected just happened to be the one plotting to use the Soul? Or did he have some influence to get himself chosen? What happened to the previous missions - were they infiltrated as well, or were they just unlucky? None of these are story-wrecking contradictions, but all these unanswered questions leave the viewer unsatisfied.
