Military Officers and Code Breakers Speak Out … On Camera
Preface: We don't contest that World War II was — in many ways — a "good war".
The Nazis, imperial Japanese and fascist Italians were nasty folks trying to take over the world, who brutalized millions within their own borders and in the nations they occupied.
But a full and honest account of World War II shows that some big American banks funded the Nazis. And America dropped nuclear bombs on Japan when top U.S. military officials said it wasn't needed.
And — as shown below — we probably knew about the coming Pearl Harbor attack, but let it happen to justify America's entry into World War II.
The White House apparently had — a year before Pearl Harbor — launched an 8-point plan to provoke Japan into war against the U.S. (including, for example, an oil embargo). The rationale for this provocation is that the U.S. wanted to aid its allies in fighting the Nazis and other axis powers, and decided that an attack by Japan would be the most advantageous justification for the U.S. to enter WWII.
Moreover, Honolulu newspapers warned of a possible attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor:
Indeed, as the following must-watch BBC documentary — with interviews with many of the main players, including military officers and code-breakers — shows, the American and British knew of the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor — down to the exact date of the attack — and allowed it to happen to justify America's entry into World War II:
And see this short essay by a highly-praised historian summarizing some of the key points. (The historian, Robert B. Stinnett, a World War II veteran, actually agreed with this strategy for getting America into the war, and so does not have any axe to grind).
Active Interference with Military's Ability to Defend
It has also recently been discovered that the FDR administration took numerous affirmative steps to ensure that the Japanese attack would be successful. These steps included taking extraordinary measures to hide information from the commanders in Hawaii about the location of Japanese war ships (information of which they would normally be informed), denying their requests to allow them to scout for Japanese ships, and other actions to blind the commanders in Hawaii so that the attacks would succeed. See, for example, this book (page 186).
Key Military Players Incommunicado
In addition, the heads of the Army and Navy suddenly disappeared and remained unreachable on the night before Pearl Harbor. And they would later testify over and over that they "couldn't remember" where they were (pages 320 and 335).

"There is a place in the galaxy where the Dark Side of the Force runs strong. It is something of the Sith, but it was fueled by war. It corrupts all that walks on its surface, drowns them in the power of the Dark Side — it corrupts all life. And it feeds on death. Revan knew the power of such places ... and the power in making them. They can be used to break the will of others ... of Jedi, promising them power, and turning them to the Dark Side."Places around the world where magic is said to naturally gather in large amounts. These areas are often geologically significant, such as the top of a hill, or the intersection between two or more rivers. Natural rock formations are also common sites, as are many others. Some are given significance by events that occurred at that location. Battlefields, for example, are often said, in fiction and real life, to contain "vibes" left by those who fought and died there. Another common place are so-called Ley Nodes, which occur where two or more Ley Lines intersect. Or you may just find one At the Crossroads. These places may be used by priests and mages for various rituals, such as worship, sacrifices, summoning, or all of the above. For some, spells with a high requirement may be possible to cast there, with the ambient magic of the area making up for the mage's own deficiencies. Some can gather even more power during certain times of the day (sunrise/set, noon, and midnight), year (solstices and equinoxes, for example), or other times (such as solar and lunar eclipses, planetary alignments, and the like). A Magnetic Plot Device is sometimes explained this way. Often acts as a Field Power Effect. Compare and contrast the more malevolent Eldritch Location. If it exists in Real Life, it's a Landmark of Lore. Such places fall under studies such as Psychogeography, arts like Feng Shui, and other teachings. Much of it, of course, is dismissed as pseudoscience, but in fiction, if the idea is mentioned at all, it is far more likely to be true.

Anime and Manga
- In Bleach there is one moving around the Earth and is currently situated under Ichigo's hometown - explaining the going on weirdness and making it the vital location of the Big Bad's Evil Plan.
- Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha has two spots outside of the planet Mid-childa where something like the Saint's Cradle could position itself to absorb the magic from Mid-childa's two moons.
- Pokémon has the Spear Pillar, ancient ruins on top of a mountain where Cyrus uses the Red Chain to summon Dialga and Palkia (the gods of time and space).
- Psyren as a whole is a place of power, since the atmosphere amplifies psychic power and grants it to those who breathe in the air there.
Card Games
- Lands in Magic: The Gathering, especially the five basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains and Forests}, as they can be tapped for mana to cast spells.
- Basic lands in Magic: The Gathering are the inverse of this trope; they're just, well, basic. Many nonbasic lands fulfill this trope, though, from "dual lands" which count as any two of the types of basic lands to lands that can produce more than one mana, which basically means that they naturally generate or have more magical energy than most lands, to lands that do completely different things like animate and fight like creatures. Then there's that change how every other land does its stuff.
- Back to the Future:
- Back to the Future Part II uses time instead of location, as when Doc realizes Biff chose November 12, 1955 as the date to return to to give his younger self the Almanac.
Doc: Unbelievable that Biff has chosen that date. It could mean that this date might hold some special significance, being the temporal junction point for the entire space-time continuum! Other than that it could just be an amazing coincidence...
- Back to the Future Part III reveals that there are at least three versions of Doc Brown and the De Lorean present during that moment in history; the 1955 Doc native to that timeframe, the 1985 Doc who travelled back there and his future self, the 1885 Doc buried in Boot Hill Cemetery, in addition to the nuclear powered De Lorean from the first film, the fusion powered De Lorean from the second and the De Lorean sent back to 1885, buried for 70 years in the Delgardo Mine.
- Back to the Future Part II uses time instead of location, as when Doc realizes Biff chose November 12, 1955 as the date to return to to give his younger self the Almanac.
- The Empire Strikes Back introduces the concept that certain places are stronger in the Force than others, with the cave on Dagobah that Yoda sends Luke into as a test. The Star Wars Expanded Universe and Legends pick this up and run with it.
Yoda: That place is strong in the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil, it is.
- In Diana Wynne Jones' Deep Secret, Hotel Babylon is hotel built right on top of a power node, giving it hallways that turn ninety degree angles and keep going on past the point of a perfect square, a clear path to the next dimension over, and a hotel full of people unconsciously attracted to the fan convention it's hosting. (Admittedly, the protagonist's fiddling around with fate may have something to do with the last one).
- In Dragon Bones, castle Hurog is built on such a place. Ward, the protagonist, who has some (weak) magic power, can feel the magic of the place, and feels rather alone, cold and incomplete when he's not there. It is implied that other family members feel this too, and that's why they yearn to own the place. There is also a hill, that's also a place of power, and where there was once an ancient temple. The heroes spend a night there, with unpleasant results. Even the non-magically talented group members say they get a feeling of being watched. Ward can tap into the magic of the place, but it doesn't work with him like the magic of Hurog, where he is born.
- Invoked in The Wheel of Time. There are arguably three Places of Power: the Eye of the World, the city of Rhuidean and Shadar Logoth. However, they are all man-made; the ones useful to protagonists were even made for those specific purposes. The magical power of those places can be destroyed or used up, and when it happens there's nothing special left of them. However, the world of the Wheel of Time also has many places where certain locations prevent magic from working.
- H.P. Lovecraft's work sometimes features places like this. The best example would be The Dunwich Horror, where there are several large hills topped with ancient monoliths around the town of Dunwich. Strange noises and smells are often reported around these hills, and some are completely devoid of all plant life. A passage from Necronomicon in the same book links such site to the Great Old Ones.
"They walk the lonely places of the world, where Words have been spoken and Rites have been committed. The wind howls with Their voice and the ground rumbles with Their thoughts."
- Heralds of Valdemar series:
- Termed Nodes, these are formed by the intersection of two or more Ley Lines and are much sought out by mages and other creatures that feed on or utilize magical power. Only the most powerful of mages (Adept-class) can handle the energy of a node without being burned out or destroyed.
- The Hawkbrothers improve upon standard nodes with their Heartstones. Each Clan has one, which maintains its Hidden Elf Village. While nodes require an outgoing ley line to drain excess energy, Heartstones can collect magic indefinitely and use it to power ongoing magical effects. They're also calmer and easier to handle than nodes, allowing access by Master-class mages (one step below Adept). The only Heartstone outside the Clans is in Valdemar's capital city, placed there by the Hawkbrother-trained Vanyel and mostly dormant since then.
- The Dresden Files
- Near Chicago there's an island that is said to be the source of a major ley line. Harry forges a connection to it, giving him awareness of whatever happens on the island, as well as gaining the spirit of the place as a dubious ally. It turns out that said ley line is the "body heat" of all of the Eldritch Abomination prisoners of the island.
- Ley lines in general. There are places where several of them converge, and those are places where much more serious magical power can be drawn, so there are fortresses and temples at these places - the seat of the White Council is on one, the Red Court's Chichen Itza, and others.
- The Land of Faerie itself, where the laws of physics work differently, allows things like the gunpowder in guns to work very well or not at all.
- A Song of Ice and Fire: High Heart is a place in the Riverlands where apparently the old gods still have power, despite the weirwoods being cut down. The red priest Thoros, who follows a different god, doesn't see any visions in the fire here. Godswoods in The North are also this by virtue of having Heart Trees, weirwoods with faces carved into the trunks so that the old gods (and, incidentally, sufficiently powerful wargs) can see the goings-on there.
- In The Witcher novels, the sorcerers can only hold to a limited amount of Power at the time, so they must draw it from the crossing points of natural energies, usually following underground water veins, in order to cast their spells. The video games have these places giving the player character short boosts to various abilities when he activates them.
- Myth Adventures had lines of power that went through the air or ground. One of the first things Aahz taught Skeeve was how to find these. They also used them to track down the Big Bad in the opening book.
- American Gods has these, one of which is the site of the House On a Rock, which is a real place. The meeting of the old gods happens there, because the wall between the physical world and the Spirit World is thinner. There's also the antithesis, dead zones of utter mundanity where nothing interesting or important happens. The parley between the two factions of gods is held in one such place, the exact geographical center of the US.
- Journey to Chaos: Zones where mana gathers into heavy concentrations are known as "Fog Clouds" because the magical energy is so intense that it forms a visible Fog that obscures visibility. Breathing the air within this cloud can send anyone's physical or magical power through the roof. It can also send them over the edge of sanity.
- The planet Vjun in Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. Vjun's population had always had a high percentage of Force-sensitives, and then the Viscount Malreaux conducted an experiment to unlock Force potential in the rest. It went horribly right; those who weren't killed outright went mad and murdered each other. Vjun is now steeped in the dark side, one of the reasons Count Dooku chooses it as a retreat. All Jedi visitors, even the Weak, but Skilled Padawan Scout, have their powers amplified on Vjun, and those who are already strong and prone to the lure of the dark, such as Whie Malreaux and Anakin Skywalker, find themselves capable of amazing feats.
- The Origin Wells from The Witchlands. They supply power to witches all over the continent and have amazing healing properties.
Live Action TV
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
- Sunnydale, California was built over a Hellmouth. Lots of Big Bads try to use it for some Evil Plan and lots of nasties try to come out of it.
- There's another Hellmouth in Cleveland, which comes up a couple of times.
Stand-Up Comedy
- According to Bill Bailey, the UK's ubiquitous Little Chef motorway restaurants were built on the intersections of LeyLines. The roads came along later to join them up.
Tabletop Games
- Rifts: The places where ley lines intersect are called "nexuses" and are places where magical energy is most concentrated. These locations are optimal for practitioners of magic, but are also where the eponymous rifts are most likely to form. Some very powerful super-nexuses with a lot of ley lines running into them exist, and often have megalithic structures built on them, including Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid of Giza and the ironically named St. Louis Gateway Arch.
- Feng Shui's Secret War revolves around capturing Feng Shui sites that generate powerful Chi. Capture enough of them in the right places, and history can be changed in your own image.
- The CCG Shadowfist which is set in the same world as Feng Shui uses this as a win condition. You don't win by destroying your opponent but rather by controlling enough Feng Shui sites. Of course, you'll have to fight to defend them, and that's where the cyborg monkeys come into play.
- Old World of Darkness:
- Werewolf: The Apocalypse has caerns, some of the few remaining "wild places" in the world, where werewolves can commune with Gaia and gain spiritual power.
- Mage: The Ascension has Nodes, places in the Tapestry where the separate strands knot up and generate Quintessence.
- And all nodes can be turned into caerns, and all caerns can be used as nodes. Oh, and the undead kuei-jin also want to use them. Naturally, this leads to conflict...
- Changeling: The Dreaming has Freeholds, untamed places that still bear a connection to the Dreaming that provided a font of Glamour for changelings.
- New World of Darkness:
- Mage: The Awakening does something similar to Ascension with Hallows, where Supernal energy either makes it through the Abyss or is trapped and recycled, generating Mana (nodes are where Ley Lines intersect, and can be harnessed by mages for free energy).
- Werewolf: The Forsaken has loci, places bound up in spiritual importance where the border between Earth and the spirit world is a little bit thinner and Essence can be gathered.
- Geist: The Sin-Eaters features Haunts, the "low places" of the world touched by death and despair. Yes, they often contain ghosts, but they also contain a great store of Plasm.
- The Ordo Dracul from Vampire: The Requiem seek out "Wyrm's Nest," areas where the weird reigns high and power is trapped. More often that not, these Nests are also Loci, Hallows, or Haunts. Which means they're often in competition with other supernaturals for them...
- Exalted has demesnes, manses, and freeholds, all of which are places where Essence pools and/or wells up, often but not always as a result of dragon lines intersecting. The chief difference between them is whether they have been left largely undisturbed (demesnes), harnessed for occult purposes (manses), or transformed by The Fair Folk into miniature Wyld zones (freeholds).
- Dungeons & Dragons has many varieties. Notable examples are Wild Magic zones, which distort spells at random, and mythals, powerful wards that provide permanent spell effects and can augment or restrict the spellcasting of people within.
- GURPS Magic and GURPS Thaumatology both spend some time discussing both natural places of power and ones that the caster must create himself (such as a sanctified room).
- In Big Eyes, Small Mouth, "Place of Power" is an actual character advantage; it represents a place where he or she can recharge his mana.
- Too many to list in Warhammer 40,000. Generally any place where the wall between reality and the Warp is thin will be this trending toward Eldritch Location.
- Warhammer has its fair share as well, although the form they take tends to be more varied: the Black Pyramid of Nagash is a font of necromantic power, while Brettonia is riven with actual ley lines. Occasionally these become actual game mechanics.
Video Games, Visual Novels
- The four temples in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks act as power nodes, connected to the Tower of Spirits by the Spirit Tracks.
- Rainbow Resort and the area immediately surrounding the Fountain of Dreams in Kirby's Adventure and especially in the GBA remake. The landscape is bizarre even by Kirby standards with strange geometric shapes and what appear to be vertical music staffs falling from the sky; even the enemies are oddly colored. This is possibly a result of the dream giving mist that normally flows from the fountain.
- Kirby Super Star goes on to imply that every planet in Pop Star's solar system has similar fountains as Kirby has to gather their power in the Milky Way Wishes story.
- In Fuyuki City of Fate/stay night, there are two nodes where spiritual energy concentrate: the Tohsaka family of sorcerers built their house on top of one, while the other is located in a temple on top of a hill (an important plot point).
- A key mechanic in Magic and Mayhem, the main (and often only) source of mana. They are handled quite reasonably in-universe, with each one prominenly marked and buildings and structures often built around them.
- Star Wars Legends:
- Malachor V, in Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, is strong in the dark side of the Force.
- The Valley of the Jedi, in the Dark Forces Saga.
- Crystals in Final Fantasy I (GBA Remake) (Each kept an element in harmony)
- Crystals in Final Fantasy V shared a similar purpose
- The "Your Sanctuary" locations in Earthbound, which Ness had to dominate in order to make the power of the Earth his own.
- MOTHER 3: You have the Seven Needles that keep the Dark Dragon asleep. Once pulled, a "great power resonates."
- Master of Magic has nodes of power that can be tapped for Mana.
- Age of Wonders has a similiar mechanic.
- Daggerfall (from the Elder Scrolls) sort of had that - characters could be better or worse at casting magic when in sunlight, or when in darkness. In practice though, there was never any reason to use magic except in dark dungeons, so people would just use the "Cannot use magic in daylight" thing as a free way to get some more character-building points.
- Used straight and inverted in Heroes of Might and Magic III. There are Magic Plains, where every spell cast (including ones cast by spellcasting troops, like Genies) is at Expert proficiency. On the other hand, there is Cursed Ground, where spellcasting doesn't work at all (or, if you've installed add-ons, where only first-level spells are possible).
- The Witcher has Places of Power.
- Touhou: The Forest of Magic is the favorite hotspot for magic users specifically for this reason.
- Golden Sun: The Elemental Lighthouses boosts the power any Adept of the corresponding element. The beacon of Mercury Lighthouse, which represents Water, has already been lit when the heroes enter. Its power constantly restores Mia's Psynergy points, therefore allowing her to heal and throw ice attacks around without having to worry about running dry. Saturos, being a Mars (Fire) adept, is greatly weakened by the power instead. Later it is revealed that Venus (Earth) and Mars shares a symbiotic relationship, as do Mercury and Jupiter (Air). Even when Saturos and his partner Menardi are defeated again on top of Venus Lighthouse, they struggle to light the beacon, which ends up fully restoring their power. Curiously enough, Garet, the party's own Mars adept, is unaffected by Mercury Lighthouse's beacon. note
- In Dragon Age: Origins, one of the Mage Collective quests has the Warden seek out four places of power, located in the Circle of Magi, the Brecilian Forest, the Deep Roads and the Denerim Alienage.
- In Dominions, magic sites are province features that can provide gems, special units, other benefits or actually harm the province. The fourth game also adds Thrones of Ascension, which have stronger effects effects such as altering your dominion and are required for the Ascension victory.
- In Nexus Clash, quite a lot of places with entirely mundane historical or sentimental value in the mortal city of Laurentia became Places of Power once Laurentia became the battlefield of the Nexus. A lot of formerly physical objects either turned into a Portal Door to other planes or became mystically empowered shrines to one of the Powers That Be. For instance, the shrine of the god of Cooperation is a necklace that was once owned by a historical figure whose tragically short life was an inspiration to greater peace, love and harmony throughout Laurentian history.
- Certain locations in the world of Pokémon carry power due to their association with Legendary and Mythical Pokemon. Some of them are places where the legendaries can be summoned to assist you under certain circumstances, while others experience a direct physical effect due to the presence of the legendary Pokemon - for instance, Sinnoh's Flower Paradise is overgrown with flowers due to Shaymin's presence.
Web Original
- Not only does the Whateley Universe have Ley Lines all over the place, but Whateley Academy is set just a few miles from Dunwich. Yeah. That Dunwich. There are Places of Power all around Whateley, and all of them are really, really dangerous.
- In Phaeton the orphanage is built on one such place, the Arks all landed in such places and various man made structures quickly become places like this, which is why ghosts are drawn to indian buriel grounds.
Web Comics
- In El Goonish Shive, the Moperville area is a more neutral version of this; the Background Magic Field is saturated and enables things that would not work anywhere else in the world but otherwise has no inherently malevolent effect.
- The Tower from Tower of God, which will give you powers just by climbing it if you are worthy.
Western Animation
- In Adventure Time, the Lich has a Place of Power, referred to in those exact words. It appears to be its "birthplace," the spot where the Depopulation Bomb hit during the Great Mushroom War.
- In Gargoyles, Avalon is one of these, and its Hollow Hill especially so.
- In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the planet Mortis is an intersection of the Force, and the home of three Anthropomorphic Personifications of the Light Side, the Dark Side, and the Balance between them.
- In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), there were three Ley Line nodes tapped by the Foot Mystics that had to be liberated to prevent a demon from spreading his reality-warping, undead-summoning power across the planet. Of course, one of these was next to the Statue of Liberty; another was in the United Nations building. The third? At a butcher shop called "Manny's Meats".
Multiple media
- Most incarnations of the World Tree.
- In Mahou Sensei Negima!, the World Tree at the school's campus glows due to excess power every 22 years, right around the time of the School Festival. during that time, six points around the tree also radiate power, enough to turn a simple Love Confession into a magical compulsion.
- It also power's Negi's time machine, as well as supplying magical energy for the forced recognition spell that the Big Bad want to use to end The Masquerade.
- In Mahou Sensei Negima!, the World Tree at the school's campus glows due to excess power every 22 years, right around the time of the School Festival. during that time, six points around the tree also radiate power, enough to turn a simple Love Confession into a magical compulsion.

The Manipulation Of Our Children
On Saturday the fourteenth of October between 12PM and 2PM, KNVA in
Austin broadcasted "KiKi's Delivery Service." This is a movie that
would draw many children to the television screen. Like most programs on commercial television there were many segments of commercials inserted in the movie.
One of the growing drug problems in Texas and throughout the country is the abuse of prescription drugs by children. These prescription drugs are attained by pilfering legal drugs that their parents purchase by prescription or obtaining them on the streets.
Children between 5 and 15 have been bombarded by television
commercials aimed at drugs like crack, cocaine, and marihuana. These commercials are more commonly called "public service messages." The only difference between these "public service messages" and other commercials is that the commercials on crack, cocaine, and marihuana drugs are negative toward a product or behavior.
"KiKi's Delivery Service," a children's program was broadcasted on a day and at a time when there was the greatest chance of a large
audience of children. The commercials inserted in the movie were very positive about their advertised products and behaviors. Ambien, a prescribed drug for sleeping, was one of those advertised.
Adults prescribed the drug Ambien by their doctor are warned by word, by labels, and by information sheets that Ambien can cause side effects and addiction. This is especially true if Ambien is taken in any way other than the way it was prescribed by the physician.
The warnings and information about Ambien given on the commercials
are not targeted or designed for understanding by children.
However, the Ambien commercials are very seductive to children who
may have some problems with sleeping or stress.
Like other products or behaviors that may harm children, drug
commercials should be limited to time slots and programs outside the normal viewing time slots and programs allocated for children.
The next situation that I have to bring up is the usage of actual students and schoolrooms I have seen in political commercials by incumbents. These schoolrooms and children appear to be meant to show these goverment officials are for education and children.
On the other hand, I have yet to see such usage of children or school rooms or buildings--paid for by public moneys—in use as persuaders in political commercials by challengers in those races. I only know of one actual denial of usage of the exterior of a school building for a political commercial backdrop by school authorities. This took place when the Texas Democratic candidate for Governor was told to stop filming in the area in front of a school and was asked to move the filming across the street.
I would like to know if the "Ins" in other states might have the be might be involved in the same kind of situations.
That children are being used as political-pointer backgrounds really bothers me. Especially when these same incumbents ignore the peddling of prescription drugs to this same age group.
If this is a national thing, I would really like to know. I would want to start some kind of grass roots group to get both kinds of manipulations of our children halted.

AP: Arabic-speaking US diplomat calls Bush Iraq policy stupid & arrogant
By HAMZA HENDAWI, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 36 minutes ago
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Alberto Fernandez, right, a senior U.S. diplomat said the United States had shown "arrogance" and "stupidity" in Iraq but was now ready to talk with any group except Al-Qaida in Iraq to facilitate national reconciliation.
In an interview with Al-Jazeera television aired late Saturday, Fernandez, who is director of public diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the State Department, offered an unusually candid assessment of America's war in Iraq.
"We tried to do our best but I think there is much room for criticism because, undoubtedly, there was arrogance and there was stupidity from the United States in Iraq," he said.
"We are open to dialogue because we all know that, at the end of the day, the solution to the hell and the killings in Iraq is linked to an effective Iraqi national reconciliation," he said, speaking in Arabic from Washington. "The Iraqi government is convinced of this."
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, in Moscow with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, later said that Fernandez disputes the description of his comments.
"What he says is, that is not an accurate reflection of what he said," McCormack said. Asked whether the Bush administration believes that history will show a record of arrogance or stupidity in Iraq, McCormack replied "No."
A senior Bush administration official questioned whether the remarks had been translated correctly. "Those comments obviously don't reflect our position," said the official, who asked not to be identified because a transcript had not been available for review.

Abstinence background is something that has sparked a reasonable amount of argumentation and talk only just. Opposer's of abstinence-only educational activity say that it doesn't work, because associates will not be abstentious. The pro-abstinence instruction herd counters that it does occupation. This nonfictional prose is not an un-biased aspect at the field. Rather, it is engrossed from the orientation of message distributive by Free Teens USA, a "reality-based" self-discipline instruction program. After language this information, you can wish for yourself if it is sincerity based!
Does Abstinence Only Education Work?
Well, at hand are loads of answers to this inquiring. But Free Teens USA had once expected that question, and had answered it on their website. We found cardinal studies to statement that probe.Post ads:

One study, through with by the The Heritage Foundation of Washington DC, saved that teens who had taken a condition oath were less plausible to be sexually active as childlike adults, less credible to get expectant out of wedlock, and will have fewer physiological property partners.
Another study, performed over and done with iv old age and published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, saved that young-bearing students that were bare to prudence background at their higher arts school were five modern times less likely to turn with child than students not open to the rearing.
So, it would look that self-denial nurture industrial plant. But preventing gestation and STDs is not the merely purpose of self-discipline teaching programs approaching Free Teens USA. They also privation to incite time of life to reclaim sex for marriage, forgoing the changing, premature physiological property associations they mightiness have back matrimony.Post ads:

An armed robbery in which a Buxton family were threatened with knives and held hostage in their own home has featured on the BBC's Crimewatch programme tonight.
The robbery, which happened at about 5.30pm on November 19 at a house on Springdale, featured on Wednesday's Crimewatch as detectives extend their appeal for witnesses.
During the programme, the family speak about their ordeal and parts of the offence, in which thousands of pounds worth of precious metal and jewellery were stolen, were reconstructed.
Five men burst into the house and held a man and three children captive before searching the house and stealing the family's jewellery. They then forced the man to drive to his place of work on the Staden Lane Industrial Estate in Buxton. The three children, two aged 12 and the other aged eight, were tied up with cable ties and stayed in the house with three of the offenders.
Further property was then stolen and the suspects returned to the house where the man was reunited with the children.
The suspects, who were wearing balaclavas and dark clothing, drove off in the family's Mercedes and Toyota Rav 4, both of which were later found abandoned.
Three men were arrested in December in connection with the robbery and have been released on police bail.
A reward of up to £25,000 has been offered through Crimestoppers for information that leads to the arrest and charge of the offenders. To be eligible for the reward, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or alternatively, call police on 101.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
When you run a PowerShell script in a SQL Server Agent task (or JobStep, as the SMO object is called) I've figured out that when the step fails, Agent records the PowerShell error (as in what line in the script failed), but I've been sending my detailed error messages to the console via Write-Output. This caused a lot of frustration in trying to figure out what the problem really was.
Because I like to have a standard way of building scripts (call me lazy, my wife certainly does) I didn't want to figure out where on the filesystem I could put a home-grown log file. However, every Windows system has an Application Event Log that we can use! Also, because PowerShell sits on top of .NET, we can easily take advantage of the tools available in the framework.
Now, when the errors occur, I've instantiated a Server object like this (where $inst contains the instance name):
# Connect to the specified instance
$s = new-object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server') $inst
And I've already documented looping through the error messages here. So, now it's just a matter of adjusting the code to use the WriteEntry method of the Diagnostics.EventLog object to write to event log, like this.
# Handle any errors that occur
Trap {
# Handle the error
$err = $_.Exception
$errmsg = $err.Message
while( $err.InnerException ) {
$err = $err.InnerException
$errmsg = $errmsg + "|" + $err.Message
[Diagnostics.EventLog]::WriteEntry($s.Name ,"Job Error: $errmsg","Error")
# End the script.
Once this is done, the message is written to the Application log. It'll have a strange message like this at the start:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Application ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event:
This is because your application isn't registered with Windows, which is ok. After that block you'll see your actual error message. For example:
Check tables failed for Database 'TicketsalesDB'. |An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.|Object ID 354100302, index ID 0, partition ID 72057594039107584, alloc unit ID 72057594043367424 (type In-row data): Page (1:65) could not be processed. See other errors for details.
Table error: Object ID 354100302, index ID 0, partition ID 72057594039107584, alloc unit ID 72057594043367424 (type In-row data), page (1:65). Test (IS_OFF (BUF_IOERR, pBUF->bstat)) failed. Values are 12716041 and -4.
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 2 consistency errors in table 'CorruptTable' (object ID 354100302).
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 2 consistency errors in database 'TicketsalesDB'.
repair_allow_data_loss is the minimum repair level for the errors found by DBCC CHECKDB (TicketsalesDB)..
This was from a CheckDB failure (which I expected because I use a corrupt database to test Database Mirroring).
Now you can use this method to get the details of errors that occur from within PowerShell scripts in your Agent Jobs.
You can also use a try/catch block. Here's a snipset of code from SQLPSX:
try { <do somthing> }
catch {
$ex = $_.Exception
$message = $ex.message
$ex = $ex.InnerException
while ($ex.InnerException)
$message += "`n$ex.InnerException.message"
$ex = $ex.InnerException
Write-Error $message
Thanks, Chad, but for now I'm writing my scripts using PS1.0 methods for sites that haven't installed 2.0. I looked at Write-Error and found it depended on 2.0, so shelved it until after Denali is released.
Thanks Allen for posting this update to your TRAP. Since I'm running 2.0 I might start playing more with Chad example.

Apple to replace iPads in need of new battery for $99
Apple said few month ago that it will provide iPad Battery Replacement Service that is similar to the one offered for Apple iPhones and iPods, only this time the company plans to replace the entire device rather than swap out its depleted battery. With 10 hours battery life, iPad is good choice to playback movies on the go. It will allows you watch 2-3 movies if you convert MKV onto iPad.
"If your iPad requires service due to the battery's diminished ability to hold an electrical charge, Apple will replace your iPad for a service fee," the company said in a support document posted to its website. It added that data will not be preserved on iPads needing service because owners will "receive a replacement iPad that will not contain any of your personal data."
The service will costs $99, plus $6.95 shipping, for a pre-tax total of $105.95 per unit. Apple estimates that it will take approximately one week from the time owners send in their iPad till they receive their replacement device.

Blagojevich is Obama's Best Character Witness
Posted by tothewire on December 10, 2008
The Obama team seems more annoyed than anxious about this investigation.
They are dumbfounded by how brazen and delusional Gov. Blagojevich appears on these tapes, talking about running for president in 2016 at the same time trying to sell a Senate seat.
But the Obama team aren't worried that anything will come up here that will put the president-elect in a bad light. And the irony here, of course, is that Blagojevich is Obama's best character witness.
The Illinois governor is just so angry on all of these tapes about the fact that he's not going to get anything from the Obama team, even resorting to calling him a "mother******" and saying of the president-elect"F*** him."
Obama's former chief strategist and incoming senior White House adviser David Axelrod put out a statement yesterday saying he misspoke during a Fox News interview where he had said that Obama spoke to Blagojevich about his senate seat.
That Obama did not speak to Blagojevich directly is backed up by my sources inside the Obama transition.
However Obama's move from "we" to "I" in his press conference denying he had any conversations with Blagojevich is telling.
That's because he can't be sure that no one connected to him in any way spoke with Blagojevich or his emissaries. The reason they can't talk about it publicly right now, they say, is because this is an ongoing criminal investigation.
They also want to make sure they have their stories straight before they come out and say anything more.
The one thing they will say unequivocally is that President-elect Obama did not speak to Blagojevich directly.
And that clearly, Blagojevich did not get anything from the Obama team as he was trying to bait the hook.
–George Stephanopoulos

The opaque data area is inherently application-specific because there's no mechanism for sharing it, and also because it's arguably too small to share. 2. The new API for accessing the opaque data area seems unnecessary. 3. There are other things we ought to throw into the inode while we're at it. 4. Maybe we ought to store the filesystem metadata in network byte order so as to enhance plug-and-play. I proposed a couple of ideas to deal with (1) in a different message, as has Julian. (Of course, I like *my* ideas better... :') It sounded like you'd come up with a way to resolve (2) with fcntl - true? Some ideas have been floated for (3) as well.

Despite a heavy allocation to energy, Peter Schiff, CEO and Chief Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Capital, isn't worried about the tense situation in Egypt.
"Egypt isn't a big factor in what's happening in oil prices," Schiff said Friday from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C. "Other countries, specifically China and India, have a far greater impact. I'm watching developments because, if events there do in fact cause oil prices to rise, then I benefit. But I don't think it will happen."
As far as investment and capital inflow prospects for the country as a whole, Schiff says it's too early to tell.
"It could positively result in Democratic change, but we don't know a whole lot about Vice President Omar Suleiman," Schiff says. "If he responds to the protesters and makes the necessary changes, then great. But he could also be another Mubarak, just with a different name."
Egypt needs what everyone needs, he says, which is a liberalized economy with low unemployment and open markets.
"Despite the political situation, it's the only way for the country to experience any real continued success," he notes.
Turning to CPAC, he's most impressed with father/son speakers Ron and Rand Paul. The politician receiving the lion's share of attention, though, is New York's Jimmy "Rent is too damn high" McMillan.
"He's got cameras following him everywhere," Schiff says. "And he's announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination. He's again claiming something is too high, but I can't understand just what that is."
He also reports that a small movement to draft Donald Trump to run has begun, although he believes it was started by Trump himself.
As for his own future in politics, Schiff, who lost a Republican Senate primary battle in Connecticut to Linda McMahon, stayed coy.
"I don't have any plans to run in 2012, but you never know. I actually think I would have come in second or third in the straw poll here. There are 10,000 people here and I have a lot of supporters. I certainly wouldn't have won, but I would have fared well."

Cradle cap, also known as neonatal seborrhoeic dermatitis, generally occurs in the first few weeks or months of an infant's life. About half of all newborns get this condition. Some studies have shown that there is a higher rate of cradle cap among infants who sleep on their backs, the position recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Cradle cap is occasionally linked to immune disorders and failure to thrive.
It's a yellowish, patchy, greasy, scaly and crusty skin rash that occurs on the scalp. It is usually not itchy or contagious. Cradle cap does not bother the baby and it's rarely severe.
Doctors and researchers have yet to agree on the cause of cradle cap. However, there is agreement that it's not caused by infection, allergy or poor hygiene. One theory is that overactive sebaceous glands in the skin of newborn babies release more oil due to the hormones from their mothers' bodies. The oil causes the flakes of skin to stick to the scalp, instead of drying up and falling off.
Cradle cap usually happens within the first three months of life, but occasionally it will arise in infants who are older.
The condition mainly occurs on the scalp, but occasionally migrates down to the face, eyelids, behind the ears and eyebrows. If other parts of the head and face start to flake, rest assured it is harmless and treatable.
Cradle cap can happen to any baby, regardless of gender or ethnicity. Some say shampooing your baby's scalp or washing the skin with regular baby soap before cradle cap occurs helps prevent the condition. It is known that cradle cap flourishes in an oily environment, so shampooing mitigates this.
Common advice is to apply baby oil to the scalp and let it soak in for at least 30 minutes, but ideally longer. The baby oil can be shampooed out with a regular infant soap and the softened scales can then be brushed away after the hair has dried. There have been no scientific studies on the success of this method, but there is much anecdotal evidence from mothers of children with cradle cap.

Good for families Feb 23, 2011
A large resort with an excellent beach location, however the local town is hard to reach by foot and it initially felt as if we were dumped in the middle of nowhere. The hotel itself made up for this by giving us everything we needed. The several shops on sight were affordable and we had the choice of three restaurants and three pools. The buffet food seemed repetitive, whereas the a la carte was a delight, as we had the opportunity to eat there for free 3 or 4 times a week. Always entertainment going on, but this seemed more aimed at families with younger children, so the only thing myself and my family had to look forward to was the late-night disco. Good value for money if you're looking for food and alcohol. The rooms were spacious (2 double beds for 2 people sharing), with air con and a balcony- recommended if you book a sea-view room. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, although lacking on the English, they would always smile and help whichever way they could. A beautiful hotel, but it's not for everyone.

The New York company neither admitted nor denied the SEC's findings, which include "wholly inadequate" monitoring by Morgan Stanley of the adviser for 12 years. During that period, a closed-end mutual fund called...

There is a great deal of hype around the Lemon Detox Diet. Celebrities such as Mariah Carey and Beyonce Knowles have added to the hoopla by stating publicly that it works, and there are also several articles that say it is a great plan for short term weight loss. but, like many other fad diets, the Lemon Detox plan is also an extreme one, which has a different way of "working", if you may call it that! So for those of you who don't know what the Lemon Detox diet is, here's an introductory writeup to help you find out what it is all about and if it is right for you! [img source]
How the Lemon Detox Diet Works
The objective behind the diet plan is to release your body of poisonous toxins. These toxins supposedly build up in your body as a result of chemicals it is exposed to through diet and environment. These toxins can then lead to a deterioration in quality of life through lack of energy, tiredness, disease and other conditions. So, by restricting intake of food for a specific amount of time, you are also restricting the toxins entering your body.
What's on the Diet Plan
While on the Lemon Detox diet, your only intake throughout the day is the lemon detox drink which consists of lemon, tree syrup, cayenne pepper, salt, herbal tea and water. All these ingredients play different roles in the detoxifying process.
Lemon Juice is used to flush out wastes from the body, via the blood stream, putting less strain on the digestive system. Cayenne pepper helps speed up the metabolism, which further promotes the cleansing process. Salt/Herbal Tea helps stimulate bowel movement, flushing the toxins out of the body. Water keeps the body hydrated and aides the cleansing process. Tree syrup contains nutrients and calories to keep the body functioning normally during the diet. It is also claimed that the quality of this tree syrup is pertinent for the success of the diet and justifies the hefty price for the otherwise relatively cheap ingredients. These ingredients are mixed together to form the Detox Diet Drink which one is supposed to have at least 6 – 10 times each day, as part of the diet plan.
Is the Lemon Detox Diet Good For You?
Each drink has roughly 60 calories, so by restricting your diet to only 600 calories a day you will obviously lose weight, but not without paying a price! An average person requires around 2000 calories per day, and 600 calories is too less. It causes the body to go into starvation mode, slowing down your metabolism, which in turn makes you feel tired and lethargic. This also signals your body to convert these calories into fat, as it feels it needs to create reserve deposits to sustain regular physiological processes. You will start losing muscle, and even if you see significant short-term weight loss,you will rapidly gain all the weight back as soon as you get off the diet!
If you are looking for fast weight loss, the Lemon Detox Diet could work for you; but it's like choosing to fall sick so you'll look thin! It also means you'll have saggy wrinkled skin, dark circles under your eyes, and extreme lack of energy! Is this worth it? If you are a model who needs to lose a few pounds to fit into those skinny outfits, then yes, you might give this a shot. But for individuals like you and me, who want to maintain a healthy weight, this short-cut might not be the best option.
A balanced meal plan coupled with regular exercise, which includes cardio and strength-training, is the only option to consider. It may not be as glamorous or as fast-acting like the Lemon Detox Diet, but it is the safest and most recommended way to healthy weight loss!

We're Friends - I Want to Ask Her OutVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Male
this question has been asked a couple of times before, but my situation is a little different. i'm 18 and in college, and i'm extremely shy (with everyone, but especially girls) and completely inexperienced with the opposite sex. i feel like the only 18 year old left on the planet that has never been on a date or done anything with a girl. i don't talk to girls, and girls don't talk to me, so there is no one to ask out even if i wanted to...with one exception... my best friend is a girl
she is the only girl that has ever talked to me in my entire life. and we've been friends for 3 years now, and as we've gotten closer over the years, i've started to really like her. she doesn't know that i do, and she doesn't have a boyfriend.
the problem is that because of my inexperience, i don't know what to do. i want to ask her out, but i don't know how, or even if it is a good idea in the first place, because i don't want to ruin our friendship, she is the only female contact i've ever had. the other option is that i could ask her to set me up with one of her friends, which she probably would do consdering she knows all about my previous girl troubles, but i don't know how to do that. i'm just an inexperienced guy looking for some advice on what to do?

I know a TON of guys who are 18-20 and who have never dated. Don't feel alone! There are a ton of guys out there in the exact same situation.
This girl is single and likes you. So start going to movies and such with her. Do it as a friend. You already talk to her, so it shouldn't be hard to come up with a movie she'd really like to see. Work a hug into your normal greeting routine. See how she likes these things :)

Spare a thought this Friday-Saturday morning for a harrowing anniversary. Gruesome, sure, but also one of heroic nobility. Thirty October 1's ago at Quezon City in the Philippines, Muhammad Ali of Planet Earth and Joe Frazier of Nearly the Whole World met for the third and last time and savaged each other to a standstill in an almost terminal tumult still described, with corny impiety, as "The Thrilla in Manila".
So implacably brutal was the beating each man, in turn, both gave and received that the moment Frazier was compassionately retired at the end of the penultimate 14th round, across the ring Ali himself collapsed in his corner. "Legs like jelly, his body just oozed to the floor," the ringside writer Dave Wolf graphically described for Life magazine.
None of us realised clearly at the time the causal malevolence of that pivotal moment. Ali should never have squared up for a serious prizefight again. He had entered the ring a proud black man; he left it quivering and the colour of grey. In 14 three-minute rounds he had aged by 14 years.
All we felt at the time, remembers Britain's pre-eminent boxing writer Hugh McIlvanney, then with the Observer, was "awe at the spectacle of extraordinary men setting new limits for themselves, pushing back the boundaries of their courage". Dave Anderson of the New York Times wrote of Ali leaving the ring: "His face resembling a mask that had been stretched to fit . . . a man afraid to let his breath out in case his stomach would fall out with it." A day later, Ali's doctor Ferdie Pacheco said his champion should never fight again: "He is badly beaten up. It took 24 hours for his brain to recuperate and for his thought processes to announce it was the closest to death he knew of."
Frazier fought seriously just once more, a losing five-rounder. Greviously, Ali was allowed 10 more fights and fully 111 rounds and, punch by punch and step by faltering step, it was increasingly sad to see. Ali and his legend live on, sure, but if ever ends had beginnings they were accursedly apparent at a stadium near Manila on the first day of October, 1975.
England's debt to Eton
Those smirking featherbrains of Radio Five were at it again on Saturday morning, condescendingly questioning England's new cricket tourist, Warwickshire spinner and former Eton head-boy Alex Loudon. Did he learn his cricket on his school playground's scuffed tarmac? Did he ever bowl at Prince William? They wouldn't dare such patronising superciliousness with, say, he-man oarsman Matt Pinsent, another Old Etonian - but, as you would expect, Loudon dealt with it charmingly.
I was screaming for him to tell the bumptious twerps that no school anywhere has made more significant contributions than Eton to the history of cricket. For starters, the first English captain ever to regain the Ashes in 1883 was the Etonian Ivo Bligh. Few administrators have exercised so strong an influence on the cricket world as OEs Lord Harris (1851-1933), Gubby Allen (1902-1989) or George Mann (1917-2001), and each of them as well were formidable captains of England - as, doubtless, the singular Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie and Johnny Barclay could have been in more recent times.
Shades, too, in this glorious 2005 summer of other imperishable Etonians: CI Thornton was a fabled hitter who would have given Flintoff and Pietersen a rollicking run for their money; at Test captaincy Lionel Tennyson would have been even more inventive than Vaughan; and Bernard "Bosie" Bosanquet, inventor of the googly, will have looked down in delighted approval of Warne. When his wrong 'uns conjured a hatful of wickets in Adelaide and Sydney to regain England's Ashes in 1904, the bamboozled Aussies naturally whinged. Beamed Bosie with Etonian elegance: "Not unfair chaps, only immoral."
A scrum-ptious discovery
Why do we hoard old match progs? To recollect innocence. I came across a beaut this weekend - Bath v Bristol at the Rec in 1965, when Bristol were monarchs of the game and Bath, in rugby terms, was Hicksville. They are at it again this Saturday in rugby union's latest wheeze, the Anglo-Welsh Cup, but with roles reversed: Bath the strutters, promoted Bristol the meek giant-slayers travelling in hope.
Might that day 40 years ago have marked the very turn of the tide on the Avon? Bristol, led by the onliest John Blake, were chockful of stars: Sharp, Pullin, Watt, Hosen, Rollitt . . . But Bath's babes won by 17-12 , their first victory over Briss in 11 years and 21 matches.
The musty old prog gleams with innocence, its ads telling of pre-Tesco life as we knew it - Spears "for Pies and Pork Products", WH Smith's "all requisites for your Horse & Dog" and, of course, "Fishy" Evans's chip shop: "Sole Venue for your Scrum-ptious after-match meal." The tide it was a'turning, all right.

When an environmental consultant (Mark Ruffalo) works up the nerve to tell his prospective girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow) that he's a recovering sex addict, she can barely stifle an incredulous laugh: "Isn't that just something guys say when they get caught cheating?!?" The DSM-V may differ, but credit Stuart Blumberg's directorial debut for treating sexual compulsion as gravely as it might an addiction to alcohol or drugs. Ruffalo's five-years-sober hero is ready to take his first steps back toward romance; Paltrow's breast-cancer survivor has a mania for exercise, which subtweets the notion that we all dabble in one addiction or another. Meanwhile, recovery newcomers—a habitual frotteur (Josh Gad) court-ordered to rehab and a druggie (Alecia Moore, better known as Pink) with commitment issues—make a winningly mismatched platonic couple, even when the fat-guy comic-relief act feels like a clumsy attempt to lighten the mood.
We've seen these characters before, as well as the 12-step sage (Tim Robbins) trying to make amends with his long-estranged son (Almost Famous's Patrick Fugit). What makes things different is the way Blumberg strikes an assured balance between dour downward spirals and "work the program" uplift, gifting these flawed people with both a sense of hope and the knowledge that it will never be enough. Although Thanks for Sharing starts with brief shots of the sexualized imagery in which the modern world steeps, Blumberg doesn't exempt his characters from responsibility, nor does he keep himself at arm's length. He's right there with them, one day at a time.

An add-in board partner has gone on record and said that "Despite what you have read and observed in the media, there are serious supply constraints [of the whole HD 3800 series]."
As we believe that these brave people can get in trouble with AMD's sales machine we will keep their name to ourselves, but this certainly implies that AMD still has a problem with being able to ship enough of these cards to feed the hungry market.
The same source continues woth some strong words. "The shortage is so severe that we are unable to supply our channel and other vendors at this time."
There goes the bubble that the HD 3870 is widely available while the 8800 GT is in severe short supply, and it looks like you might have trouble trying to buy any of these two cards in 2007. DAAMIT, it had to happen at the time where 20+ hot games are out where we can personally recommend at least five of them, which all could do with a graphics card upgrade for a smooth frame rate.

In this week's Torah reading we see how Moshe really felt about being replaced by lower level judges back in Parashas Yisro. Perhaps this is why his not teaching the Jewish people the laws of kashrus in last week's parshah has made such a difference to Jewish history and why we are still suffering exile.

City Take Giant Leap Toward League Title
The Sports Direct Arena
Sunday 6th May 2012 1.30 pm
Attendance: 52, 389
As the nerves jangled and hearts beat that little bit faster, the penultimate game of the season was upon us and City`s fate was in their own hands. Win their remaining two games and due to their vastly superior goal difference over United, the League title would be theirs for the first time in over a generation. But City wouldn`t have everything their own way, playing a resurgent Newcastle side that, after Arsenal`s poor result yesterday, were playing for third place and a guaranteed Champions League spot.
Mancini kept faith for a third game running with the side that defeated arch rivals United and despatched Wolves. So the team sheet read as follows: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Yaya, Barry, Silva, Nasri, Tevez and Aguero. The subs bench consisted of Pantilimon, Richards, Kolarov, Milner, Johnson, De Jong and Dzeko. This was a team of world class players in every position who were working toward a common goal, united by a superb manager and cheered on by the best fans in the land.
Both teams began the game in a cagey fashion and the nerves showed and passes were misplaced. The first five minutes were dominated by edginess and a total lack of cohesion being shown by both sides. Clearly the magnitude of the occasion had gotten to both sets of players.
In the 6th minute, Cabaye caught Barry with a high boot earning City a free kick in the middle fo the park. Two minutes later and City were on the attack as Tevez broke free a passed a great looking ball to Zabaleta making the overlap, but the ball skidded just in front of the full back and out of play.
City were starting to take command of the game and in the 9th minute, first Silva and then Yaya have shots blocked. The latter earnt a corner which Newcastle defended well. Only a minute later and City played a wonderful through ball out of midfield which Silva ran onto unleashing a wicked shot which Krul got down to save well.
City continued to look the stronger team and in the 13th minute, Newcastle gave the ball away to Tevez who jinked one way then the other and found Nasri in the box, but the French man`s first touch was poor and it took him away from the opposition goal. Newcastle were retreating on every City attack and inviting the visiting team onto them. .
In the 17th minute, Silva carved the Newcastle defence open with a magnificent pass to Aguero who makes space for himself, but then finishes with a poor shot which was easily saved by the busy Krul. City then caused chaos in the Newcastle box after Krul left himself in no man`s land after coming out to meet Aguero who had run onto a long ball by Kompany.
Halfway through the half and the Blues were looking the more likely team to score as Krul again kept the score even saving at Silva`s feet. The frustration was beginning to show in the Newcastle players as Ben Arfa was booked after losing the ball to Clichy then chasing the man twenty yards to bring him down 25 yards out on the Newcastle left. Tevez stepped up to take the shot which bounced just in front of Krul whose reflexes were good enough for him to adjust and make the save.
With two minutes to the half hour, Newcastle pick up a loose ball after Zabaleta miscontrolled and Ba took a speculative shot from way out which went close to being on target but never threatened Hart.
Next man in the book was Barry giving Newcastle a free kick in the centre of the pitch, thirty yards from the City goal. The free kick into the box is easily dealt with and City are quickly on the break and this time City earn a free kick after Tiote brought down Silva whilst in full flight, earning himself a yellow card. Silva floated in the free kick but it was too far advanced of any City players to be effective.
In the 34th minute, Newcastle first real chance to score came after Zabaleta slipped in midfield, giving the ball away. The cross went in toward the middle and Ben Arfa came up with a peach of a volley which brought a world class save out of Hart who had been reduced to a mere spectator up until this point.
The next yellow card followed soon after as Newcastle earnt their third of the day when Perch tripped Tevez on his third attempt. The excitement continued as Yaya found Zabaleta on the right with a superb pass. The City full back got into the box and to the by-line, cutting a great ball back, but there was no one in the box to get on the end of it.
Another yellow then followed as this time Yaya went into the referees book for a poor challenge on Newcastle`s Italian full back Santon. Ben Arfa stood over the ball and floated a great ball into the City box which was met by the head of Ba. Fortunately for City, Hart wasn`t called into action as the prolific forward`s header ballooned over the bar.
What followed was City`s best chance of the half as Barry found himself in a wonderful position in the Newcastle box as he shot and saw his first effort cleared. Somehow the ball found it`s way back to Barry and with Krul stranded on the ground he looked destined to score, but Colloccini made a wonderful goal line clearance to keep his side in with a chance.
As the half drew to a close there was no doubt that City had been the dominant force in the opening 45, but credit to Newcastle, they had looked dangerous on the break and had forced Hart into one outstanding save. Credit to the ref to who had had a busy afternoon in what had been up to now, with so much at stake, a somewhat feisty affair.
The second half kicked off with no changes to either team and City settled back into the same rhythm that they had finished the first half. It took only two minutes for the Blues to register their first half chance as Zabaleta once more got forward to swing a ball in, but his cross was poor and overplayed, when Aguero wanted it to feet.
Five minutes in and City earnt a free kick on the left of the Newcastle box 20 yards out after Perch, already on a yellow card, held Tevez back. Yaya stepped up to take the set piece, but his poor effort was always rising and drifted harmlessly over the bar.
By the 53rd minute, City had cranked up the pressure yet again as Tevez struck a sweet shot from 25 yards out, only to see Krul gather the ball. Tevez was looking very positive and seconds later exchanged a one two with Aguero, but the return ball was too heavy. Then it was Silva`s turn to shoot from distance only to see his shot blocked.
In the 61st minute, Mancini made a tactical switch, bringing off Nasri and replacing him with De Jong, who was welcomed on the pitch to a chorus of boos. This allowed Yaya to move further forward and help out in attack.
The second half had been all City and in the 64th minute, Newcastle had a rare breakaway which ended with Ben Arfa taking aim at Hart`s goal, but his shot flashed wide of the City post.
Despite this Newcastle attempt City were soon pressing again up the other end and Zabaleta and Tevez combined wonderfully in the 65th minute to earn City a corner, but nothing comes of it as Lescott was adjudged to have fouled Krul and Newcastle were awarded a free kick.
City`s second substitution then followed on 69 minutes as with 21 minutes of normal time left and with a draw not enough, Mancini went for the win introducing Dzeko for Tevez.
One minute later and everything changed as City won the ball on their left and worked it up the flank. Dzeko moved to his right, pulling the centre half with him and Yaya ran into that space, just as the ball arrived at his feet. In one fluid movement he unleashed a powerful shot that blasted it`s way past Krul and into the Newcastle net. 1-0 to the Blues and the title was within sniffing distance.
Pardew then changed things replacing Perch and Ben Arfa with Ferguson and Ameobi. The changes had little effect on the game as suddenly Aguero found himself one on one with Krul. The tricky Argentinian looked odds on to score but somehow he contrived to put his shot wide of the post.
With everything to lose, the Newcastle team upped a gear and in the 76th minute won a corner. City defended well but were soon under the cosh as Hart was a mere spectator as Ba rose majestically to head the ball goalward, only to see his attempt go wide of the post.
Next yellow of the game and the first of the second half is awarded to Zabaleta after his slid in late on substitute Ferguson, but Newcastle failed to make the free kick count. The second yellow of the half followed soon after when Ferguson, clearly riled, went in late on Silva. The diminutive Spaniard floated in the free kick himself. Yaya, like a bullet train, threw himself at the ball meeting it with his head, but the ball flew agonisingly wide.
With 6 minutes left on the clock, Yaya suddenly found himself bearing down on the Newcastle goal with only the keeper to beat. At the vital moment, as he went to change direction, with Krul already commited, the towering Ivorian lost his footing and the chance was gone. The warning signs were there for Newcastle as City went for the jugular.
City`s final substitution followed in the 85th as Richards replaced Silva. This was followed by an awesome finish to the game as Toure, the man of the moment was given time and space in the Newcastle box. He didn`t need an invitation, and majestically swept the ball home for City`s second, surely sealing the result and putting the Blues in touching distance of the title.
Three minutes of injury time were shown, and other than one Ba header, the end of the game was dominated by City. They wanted it more and you could almost feel the players` relief as they had one hand on the title. A win at home next week against QPR and City would make a generation of Blues simply exstatic. Forza Mancini and well done to the team. Special mentions to Barry and Yaya who were simply amazing today.
