CHESTER, Pa. — The New England Revolution will have to wait until next weekend, the team's home opener, to score their first goal and hopefully get their first win of the season after falling to the Philadelphia Union, 1-0, on Saturday.
Sebastien Le Toux's first-half goal for the Union (1-0-1) in their home opener was the difference at PPL Park, where the Revolution (0-2-0) have not won in six tries.
"We knew it'd be a tough game, it being their home opener and I don't think we've ever had it easy coming to Philly, and it proved to be that way," Revolution midfielder Andy Dorman said after the game.
"We played hard and tried to win the game and we didn't. Unfortunately we didn't," said Revolution coach Jay Heaps. "We didn't take our chances, but credit to Philly, they did."
The Revolution, who made five changes from last week's lineup that suffered a 4-0 loss to the Houston Dynamo, struggled to get into the game early as Philadelphia pressed and pushed New England back into its own half right from kickoff.
Despite having little possession and barely being able to get out of its open half, New England had the first chance of the game when Lee Nguyen released Teal Bunbury with a through-ball in the fifth minute. Bunbury found space behind the Union defense and hit a shot right at Philadelphia goalkeeper Zac MacMath, who made the easy save.
The Union continued to press New England after giving up the shot to Bunbury and eventually got their first chance of the game from a corner in the 19th minute.
Maurice Edu made a run to the near post and placed a header that had Bobby Shuttleworth beat, but a Revolution player cleared the chance off the line.
The Union continued to press and it looked like Le Toux was going to open the scoring in the 23d minute when Shuttleworth bobbled a Raymon Gaddis cross at the edge of the 6-yard box and the ball fell to a waiting Le Toux. But he was unable to get a shot off as Dorman stripped him of the ball just in time.
Philadelphia continued to dominate play and was almost rewarded a few minutes later when Jack McInerney had a point-blank chance denied by Shuttleworth.
Philadelphia found the break it was looking for in the 31st minute when Leonardo Fernandes fought off Revolution defender Andrew Farrell, who was in the starting lineup in place of the team's captain, Jose Goncalves. Fernandes was on the left side of the penalty area and sent in a low-cross that found Le Toux lurking inside the penalty area for a tap-in, giving Philadelphia the lead.
"It was a good smart play from their player, he shielded the ball well. Unfortunately, he goes behind our back line and we have to stay with runners. It was a pretty easy pass once they broke into our 18," Heaps said.
For Farrell, the goal was a learning experience — this was the first time since college that he has played center back — and he made sure to learn from the mistake and not let it happen again.
"You could see that one play I stepped [up] and they got the goal off that and that was that one mental mistake and it cost us the game," Farrell said. "Next time I learned, there was a similar play later on and the guys didn't get caught on me, but they tried to lift me up and I did better."
New England continued to struggle to work the ball on the field, but got its best chance in the 38th minute from a Shuttleworth goal kick. Donnie Smith won a header from the kick and flicked on to Bunbury, who was through on goal, but made the unselfish pass to set up Diego Fagundez alone with an open net. The 19-year-old had his chance spoiled by MacMath, who made a diving save with his legs to preserve the lead ahead of halftime.
Heaps tried to make a few changes at halftime to shake things up. He brought on forward Jerry Bengtson for Smith and shifted his team around trying to get more time on the ball and in Philadelphia's half of the field. The move worked as New England began to enjoy more possession and pressed the Union more.
Fagundez, again, came closest for New England in the 58th minute, this time with a shot from 25 yards out that knuckled its way toward MacMath, forcing the goalkeeper to punch the chance over the net for a corner.
New England goes into its home opener next weekend against the Vancouver Whitecaps winless and without a goal. But Farrell is excited to finally be playing at home again, where the Revolution collected eight of their 14 wins last season.
"I'm excited about being at home. Last year we did well and got some good results at home," Farrell said.

The building that once manufactured bedding for Second World War soldiers is about to be reborn as a culinary hub in Calgary's redeveloped East Village.
See a gallery of architect's renderings for the Simmons Building and the RioCan Block
On Wednesday, the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation — a wholly-owned subsidiary of the City of Calgary — announced its selection of tenants for the historic Simmons Building. Built in 1912, the former mattress factory is a city landmark located on prime riverfront property, and a major element in the East Village revitalization master plan unveiled in 2009.
After interviewing dozens of the more than 40 applicants who submitted Expressions of Interest, the CMLC has selected three local food and beverage companies to occupy space in the century-old building. Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters, Sidewalk Citizen Bakery, and Charbar — a new restaurant concept by Connie DeSousa and John Jackson, the chefs who created Charcut Roast House — will be opening in the spring of 2015.
CMLC president and CEO Michael Brown said the organization chose tenants it believes will not only bring people and life to the neighbourhood, but also understand the East Village vision.
"They were attracted to East Village because they saw the opportunities here ... And their personality suits the personality of our community," Brown said. "They also understand the significance of the Simmons Building. This is the jewel of our community and it has to be treated well."
The CMLC — which will retain ownership of the building — will continue its renovations over the next year, after which point the new tenant group will move in and undertake their fit and finish work. Eventually, the building will include a sidewalk patio and a rooftop terrace with views of the Bow River.
DeSousa said she and her fellow business owners are excited about the opportunity.
"Our vision for the Simmons is that we're creating a hyper-local sense of business, where all of our businesses are feeding off of each other," she said. "It's a huge responsibility, coming into this building — to make it the anchor of this community and give it the energy this community deserves."
The opening of the Simmons Building's new businesses will take place at the same time that residents will be moving into the 396 new condos currently under development in East Village by Embassy Bosa and FRAM+Slokker.
It will also coincide with construction of a major urban shopping centre. RioCan — which develops, owns, and manages a variety of urban and suburban shopping centres across Canada — has purchased a 2.75-acre site formerly owned by the Calgary Police Association. Bounded by 5th and 6th Avenue and 3rd and 4th Street S.E., the site is slated for 300,000 square feet of retail space and will likely include a grocery store. The shopping centre is expected to open in 2017.
So far, the East Village redevelopment project has attracted over $1.1 billion of planned investment to the neighbourhood, including the National Music Centre, the new Central Library, a Hilton Hotel project, and major mixed-use developments which collectively account for 1,200 new residential homes for the area.
The CMLC has also made significant investments into flood-proofing the East Village. The land and roadways around the Simmons Building have been raised up several feet over the last few years, and as a result the majority of East Village infrastructure and new condo construction suffered minimal damage during June's flood.
However, the St. Patrick's pedestrian bridge project — which will connect Memorial Drive and East Village — did sustain damage. The bridge was in its final stages of construction, but is now not expected to open for another year.

Algeria (Arabic: الجزائر al-Jazā'ir) ,, is an Arab and Berber country in North Africa. It has a Mediterranean Sea coastline in the north. It is surrounded by Morocco to the northwest, Tunisia to the northeast, Libya to the east, Niger to the southeast, Mali to the southwest, Mauritania and Western Sahara to the west. After Sudan, Algeria is the second-largest country in Africa.
Much of recent Algerian history has been dominated by civil wars and subsequent warlordism. That said, the country is gradually restoring order and will prove an interesting - if difficult - destination.

From the United States the cheapest way to get into Algiers is via London (British Airways), Paris (Air France) or Frankfurt (Lufthansa).

For more information about the Algiers airport check the official site Aéroport d'Alger.
The Algerian train company is named SNTF (http://www.sntf.dz/), tickets can be bought at the Train stations or online. The network in the north is dense. You can reach Algeria by train from Tunisia, although you will have to change the train at the border post. All border points with Morocco are currently closed.
If you can try to catch the newer trains they are more comfortable and climate-controlled.
The realistic and most secure way to reach Algeria by car is across the Tunisian border. The Mauritanian and Malian borders present some security problems, and the Moroccan border is closed. Note that, if you want to get into Algeria from Niger or from the Tozeur border post in southern Tunisia, you'll have to contract an official guide to accompany you across the Saharan routes; otherwise, police will not allow you to get into Algeria with your car. There are no problems if you want to get into Algeria from the Tunisian border posts in the north.
The prices are usually more expensive than flying so if you can and have no car take a plane. Most connections are offered by Algerie Ferries .
From/to Spain:
From/to France:
From/to Italy:
Algeria is a huge country and travelling between major cities can take a lot of time and nerves as well, while the distances in the more populated north are not so big and a trip from the east to the west can be done in a day travelling to cities in the Sahara is more difficult since the south is barley connected with good roads, train and bus connections.
From Algiers you can reach almost every major Algerian city by plane, it's highly recommended to take a flight when travelling to longer routes and to Saharan cities. Algiers Houari Boumedine is the only modern Airport in the country the other airports are to more like airfields and have lacking infrastructure.
Air Algerie is the national carrier with many flights to almost all Algerian cities with an airport. The Prices vary regarding of the length of the flown route, airfares to smaller and Sahara cities tend to be pricier than between bigger cities (e.g Oran - Algier). Air Algerie uses Algiers Airport as its hub and almost all flights are starting or landing there. There are seven daily flights to Oran from Algiers and five daily flights to Annaba and Costantine, other destinations served from Algiers daily or several days weekly are : Adrar, El Oued, Tebessa, Batna, Biskra, Setif, In Ames, Tindouf, Timmoun, Tlemcen, Tammanrasset, Tiaret, Tebessa, El Goela, Ouaragla, Hassi Mesaoud, Bejaia, Ghrardaia, Tlemcen, Illizi, Djanet, Touggourt, Bechar.
It's usual to take a taxi to travel between near cities or in cities, the prices are pretty moderate but when travelling between bigger cities with large distances taxis are the same or more expensive as flying. Try to avoid unoffical taxis since it's very likely the driver will rip you off. Most Taxis have no taxmeter so arrange a price in advance. Many drivers will try to take advantage of your lack of knowledge but never pay more than 30 DA per KM regardless of what you are told. Tipping is not nessecary but you can round up to the next 10 Dinars.
The road network is well developed in the north, the Algeriean goverment has made much improvements in the last years regarding road building, new highways were built to replace the already marod roads. The most important highway is the 1200 km long N1 (Route est-ouest) from Annaba to Oran, almost all bigger cities in the north are connected to this highway including Algiers.
A car is not absolutely necessary because of the well running public transportation system, but could be sometimes useful to reach more remote areas. Keep in mind that driving habits are completly different compared to western norms and that rules and prohibitive signs are more seen as Guidelines, even by the police! It would be a wise decision letting a local algerian do the driving for you in the first days to get an impression of the driving style, if this is not possible it's recommended to stay on the highways.
Do not try to reach saharan areas with another car than a 4x4, occasional dunes on the roads and extreme temperature changes will offer a challenge for the driver and the car.
Fuel is extremely cheap and will not cost more than 15 DA per liter.
The Algerian Railways are operated by SNTF , currently the trains and lines are being modernised. Ten comfortable highspeed trains named Autorail were bought, currently two of them are in operation. Tickets can not be bought online, only at the train stations, prices are quite moderate but more expensive than buses or taxis but in return you will have more comfort and enjoy wonderful landscapes.
Main Routes :
Algeria is a vast country offering tourists a wide selection of attractions and activities. The capital city of Algiers has a rich past and ruins at Djemila, Tipasa and Timgad are fascinating to see. Main attractions in Algeria include the National Museum of Fine Arts as well as the Bardo Ethnographic and Local Art Museum. Step back in history by making your way to the Hauts Plateaux where you will discover the historical city of Tlemcen as well as the Grand Mosque, Almohad ramparts and Masourah Fortress.
Heading out towards the formiddable Sahara opens up a whole new world of attractions in Algeria. The holy town of Beni-Isguen, with its well-guarded gate and auction market, makes for an interesting stop. Ouargla, also known as 'the golden key to the desert', is a lovely town featuring a malekite minaret, market square and gorgeous architecture. Natural attractions in Algeria also abound with Kabylia and the Chiffa Gorges. Take in the beauty of the ocean along the Turquoise coast or the Sidi Fredj peninsula.
The official language is Arabic, but be warned: Arabic spoken in the Maghreb Region (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia) is quite different then the Arabic spoken in other parts of the Arab World, so don't be surprised if you don't understand anything said to you even if you are competent in standard Arabic. Algerian Arabic contains many French Words.
However, all Algerians who have been to school will be able to speak standard Arabic; if you don't understand someone, ask just him to speak standard Arabic (al-arabiyya al-fus'ha). Egyptian Arabic is also widely understood because of the popularity of Egyptian cinema.
French, the colonial language, is still widely spoken and almost every local you meet will be bilingual in Arabic and French.
Generally, only the younger generations in Algeria can understand some English, but most people are able to communicate in French.
Some common pharses :
Travel on camels in the Sahara desert. Locations:
The Algerian currency is the Dinar (DZD) As of Dec 2010, 1 US $ will give you 73 Dinar. There are Coins in the order of 5 DA, DA 10, 20DA, 50DA, and 100DA and notes in the size of 100DA, 200DA, 500DA, 1000DA.
Money can be exchanged at Banks or Post offices. Make sure that the exchanged bills are in a good condition, people tend to be picky with accepting ripped and older bills. Be careful with other currencies than Euro or US$ it could be hard to find a bank that exchange less common currencies.
ATMs are widely aviable and can be found in every post office or larger bank you can withdraw Algerian Dinar with any major credit card and maestro cards. If a pin with 6 numbers is nessecary just enter two zeros before your pin.
Living in Algeria is very cheap compared to western conditions for an example 300 DA will get you a full meal or bus ride from Algiers to Oran (400km). Renting a midsized apartment will cost normally 6000 DA a month.
Algerian food is delicous it's a mix of Arabic and French cusine.
Algeria produces a selection of wine (not in big volume in more) and also beer. However, Algeria is a Muslim country, and you do not find alcohol sold everywhere, you have to know where to find it. Wine and alcoholic drinks are sold in the few bar restaurants in the big cities, high end hotels, and night clubs. Some bar restaurants can be found in nice parks, so if you are in a nice wooded park, look for the restaurants. The fast food restaurants open and affordable to the public do not sell beer, and the coffee shops do not sell alcohol. If you visit Algiers or coastal cities, there are fish restaurants in almost every fishing port, the fishing is traditional and the fish sold is very fresh; usually, these restaurants sell alcohol but you have to ask (do not expect to see it, some times it is on the menu, some times not). Finally, you can buy your own bottle of Algerian wine to take home in discrete shops that sell alcoholic drinks. It is better to buy it at the Algiers airport. In smaller towns, buying alcohol can be challenging; you usually find them at the edge of the towns in sketchy areas and the conditions in which the alcohol was kept is sometimes questionable. Some Muslims drink but they consider it a sin. It is in private but socially. If some one invites you into his home and does not offer alcohol, he expects you not to be drunk or smell of alcohol, and does not expect you to bring your own bottle or even discuss drinking alcohol in front of his wife and kids.
Despite many western advisory warnings against traveling to Algeria, you should know that terrorism in 2005 was focused only in the following areas: Chlef, Ain Defla, Relizane, Laarba, Medea, and Collo. As of 2009, terrorist attacks are mostly directed against police offices and other government targets. Terrorism is highly active in the South of Algeria as well. Do not travel after nightfall; travel by plane if you can, instead of by car; avoid minor roads; ask the police if you are unsure about your surroundings, and nothing unusual should happen to you. Also, you should trust only official travel advisories when it comes to personal safety when are in or travel to a foreign country.
Algiers is frequently struck by power cuts, which means that refrigerated foods may go bad. Therefore, you should take extra care when eating in restaurants, as the likelihood of getting food poisoning is always there.
Mosquitoes are also a problem in Algeria, but they are just a nuisance, as malaria is not common. In urban areas, city-wide sprayings against mosquitoes are periodically carried on.
Do not expect good water quality, for drinking you should buy bottles of water.
Always use sun protection when traveling in Algeria.
As in all of North Africa, the dominant religion in Algeria is Islam, and appropriate religious prohibitions and attitudes should be in order. If visiting a mosque, for example, be sure to be dressed conservatively and remove your shoes before entering it. Alcohol policy is not the same all over the country, with some cities prohibiting bars and/or liquor stores. Keep in mind to drink only at home or in a bar; never in public.
Also, given the ongoing political strife, talking politics is not advisable.

Burbank Interim Police Chief Scott LaChasse this week announced that the deputy chief and two captains he recruited nearly three years ago to serve on a temporary basis are now permanent employees of the police force — angering the police union president who said the move passed over qualified internal candidates.
Deputy Chief Thomas Angel and captains Denis Cremins and Michael Albanese were brought on to assist LaChasse in his efforts to reform a police department beset with allegations of excessive use of force, cronyism, sexual harassment and racial discrimination.
LaChasse's decision to hire the three permanently — a power he said he didn't know he had until recently — came days after the Civil Service Board declined to renew the appointments of Angel and Albanese, despite having done so numerous times before.
"We had a choice — either make them permanent, or let them go," said City Manager Mike Flad. "It was kind of a no-brainer."
With two members absent, the Civil Service Board voted 2-1 to let the appointments expire later this month.
Voting with the slim majority, Civil Service Board member Jacqueline Waltman said she was concerned the top cops were "just passing through" with a mind set that could hamper morale and stability in the department.
"My experience with temporary staff is that they make decisions knowing full well they don't have to live with the consequences of those decisions," she said.
But LaChasse said his team's work at the department is not finished.
"We came here to deal with, really, a crisis situation," LaChasse said. "We're still in the midst of addressing the needs of the department."
He cited a 2010 report by Dr. Larry Blum on the organizational culture of the department that revealed "mutual disrespect and distrust" among police personnel.
"This stuff doesn't go away quickly," LaChasse said.
Burbank Police Officers' Assn. President Mark Armendariz was disappointed with the decision and felt LaChasse bypassed the civil service system in appointing his command staff.
"They never went through testing or a vetting process, other than the chief said these people should be there," Armendariz said.
His colleagues, he argued, have spent their entire careers in Burbank working toward these promotions.
"The rules don't seem to apply to processes when he wants what he wants," Armendariz said. "That's why rules are supposed to be there — to make sure the chief can't just wave his wand."
The association is looking into ways to challenge the decision, Armendariz said.
City officials had pushed the Civil Service Board last week to approve another temporary extension for the captains, given the imminent changes in leadership at City Hall. Flad is slated to leave Burbank in the coming weeks for the top post in South Gate.
LaChasse defended his command staff, saying they have been lauded by others in the community for rebuilding a department plagued by allegations of racial discrimination and sexual harassment. Among them was the Civil Service Board's chairman, Matt Doyle, who said it was "a boon to have brought in these individuals."
"I believe, personally, as a resident of this city, they've done an outstanding job," Doyle said.
Reached on Thursday after the announcement, Waltman said she was pleased with the status change.
"You need stability at that level," she said.
Still left up in the air, though, is the status of LaChasse himself, who remains interim chief. A search for a permanent chief was put on hold in the wake of Flad's announcement to leave.
Angel, a 33-year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, said he isn't concerned about the implications for the command team.
"All three of us have worked for various bosses in the past," he said, adding, "Our expectation is [LaChasse] will be here for the foreseeable future."
One of his goals, he added, is to continue to work on recruitment and promotion within the organization.
"We're very focused on mentoring personnel," Angel said. "We see a lot of talent within the organization."

Chris Lewington is preparing to go back to his roots tonight.
The Colchester United goalkeeper is a former Charlton Athletic season-ticket holder and as a youngster, was a regular at the Valley where he cheered them on from the stands.
Lewington, who was born only a few miles away from the Valley, also had a spell as a junior at Charlton, where he spent three years as a youth-team player.
And having watched the south London club with his dad as a teenager, the 25-year-old is expecting a good turnout of family and friends to be in attendance for tonight's Capital One Cup first-round clash.
Lewington said: "I used to support Charlton as a kid and I had a season-ticket with them.
"I live literally five minutes round the corner and I'm a local boy going back to his local club really.
"I was born in Sidcup and I used to go with my dad and his mates.
"I was there at Wembley when they got promoted to the Premier League in the play-off final and I had a season-ticket when they were in the top-flight but when I started playing, I couldn't go anymore.
"I still look at their results every now and again and my friends and family are very supportive of me and they'll all be there tonight.
"I was only at Charlton for a few years in the academy but I enjoyed being there.
"When you're a young kid, you look up to pros.
"When you're playing for the team that you support, it's good to have a bit of a laugh with your friends and a joke in the playground."
In a strange twist of fate, Lewington also made his professional debut at the Valley when he played for Dagenham and Redbridge at Charlton in a Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie, in August 2010.
"It's spooky how things work out," said Lewington, who joined Colchester from Dagenham last month.
"We lost 1-0 but I felt that I played well and I enjoyed it – it was a great experience.
"My mum and dad were there and everyone was watching."
Lewington believes Colchester can spring a surprise against Championship side Charlton tonight – and make it through to the second round.
He added: "Cup games are one off and anything can happen.
"We just need to go out there and express ourselves and give it a good go.
"Charlton are in the division above but I don't think that means anything in the cup.
"We should go there with no fear and no worry and have a right go at them."

Despite the improvement in oral healthcare over the past 10 to 15 years, particularly in developed countries, latest data suggest that this positive trend in young people's oral health is beginning to be reversed. That is likely due, at least in part, to dietary changes. The increase in consumption of sugary drinks, which are particularly aggressive towards tooth enamel, represents a new cause of concern.

This Is the Cutest Couple In the Animal Kingdom
Why did the fluffball chicken cross the road?
To get to her best friend: a wheelchair-bound, two-legged Chihuahua named Roo.
The two animals have been vying for cutest friendship of all time since they met last year: They were both rescued by Duluth Animal Hospital receptionist Alicia Williams, who usually brings them into work at the Georgia facility with her.
"Clients will schedule their appointments around the animals' schedules, especially Penny's (the chicken)," Williams told the Gwinnett Daily Post. "She's always here on Saturdays."
First she adopted Penny, the silky chicken, after saving her from a life of medical testing. Roo, the chihuahua, was rescued from a ditch where his owner had dumped him.
But together, the two animals have flourished.
"They get along really well," Williams said. "Penny gets excited when Roo is around because she knows he's got treats and food all of the time. Whenever she hears him being fed, she steals his food. He loves snuggling with her because that's his big teddy bear. He runs over her sometimes because he doesn't realize how big his wheels are."

Mustang MonthlyHow To Tech Qa
Restoration Questions - July 2013
Muscle Parts Intake
I am re-restoring my first car, a 1965 Mustang fastback that I've owned since 1988. During the process, a friend located a vintage aluminum intake manifold. I am curious about its origins and who manufactured it.
Paul Wilborn
Trinity, NC
Your faxed photo won't reproduce well in print so I'm including a photo of an NOS unit. It's a genuine Ford intake for the 289/302 from the Muscle Parts program. It's a rare find for your '65 Mustang!
Matching Numbers Definition
A friend and I are having a debate as to the exact definition of a matching numbers restoration for a Mustang. Do matching numbers include parts such as generator/alternator, radiator, power steering pump, etc.? Or is it restricted to the body and drivetrain? Can you settle this argument?
Paul Giordana
Yorba Linda, CA
You have slightly complicated the definition by adding "restoration" to "matching numbers." I believe numbers matching includes body, interior, and drivetrain. Service parts such as tires and battery would not apply in most peoples' opinion. However, when you specifically use "matching numbers restoration," it would include the correct service parts. This is just my opinion. Very few restorations are 100 percent by this definition. I believe you and your friend are both in agreement that original body and drivetrain are the key components to any definition of numbers matching.
Interior Paint
I am from Puerto Rico and have owned a '70 Mustang Boss 302 since 1971. I am in the process of finishing the restoration and currently working on the interior. The car was built in Metuchen. I am becoming a little crazy because I have to paint the black interior pieces and don't know what color or what parts are supposed to get what color. The car has the black standard interior. I have to paint the lower dash, the lower door panel, the door top trim, and so on. Can you help me?
Luis Justiniano
Puerto Rico
The interior parts you listed are painted dark charcoal metallic. The PPG mix code is DIA-32586. You can also purchase dark charcoal metallic from National Parts Depot (800/874-7595, Florida store) in a spray bomb as part number AP-4464.
'66 Fuel Filter
I am finishing up the restoration of my May 1966 Dearborn convertible with a 200-cubic-inch six-cylinder and C4 automatic transmission. I want to make sure I get the correct fuel filter for the carburetor. Would it be the C5AZ-9155-B with the C5AE-9155-A4 stamping on the part itself? If not, can you tell me what would be considered correct for this car?
Dave Rataillon
Via the Internet
I want to make sure I get the correct fuel filter for the carburetor.
The correct filter for the six-cylinder '66 Mustang is the C5UZ-9155-A (Autolite FG-14). The filter looks similar to the C5AE-9155-A but has a different thread size. I have included a picture of the correct filter for your car.
Let us hear from you. Send your restoration questions to: Resto Roundup, c/o Bob Perkins, Perkins Restoration, North 2123 Hwy. 16 & 26, Juneau, WI 53039. Send email to email@example.com.

This definitely sits more than the tank. I think the fact that's it's not highly visible in the films, or even the cartoon (one scene so far - the tank is everywhere) is hurting it, as much as the market place.
There are no lights which should be standard for for $100+ vehicles
Maybe a good sign, over the weekend a lady at my local TRU wanted a Turbo Tank for a Christmas gift, but they were sold out. I heard an employee tell her the other local TRU was sold out too. I hope that's positive news for Hasbro. The lady actually ended up buying two AT-TEs for $49.99 each, I wonder if she was going to buy two Turbo Tanks if they had them...? Probably has two sons or something that are into Star Wars.Also, I saw a Turbo Tank in a guy's cart at Wal-Mart last night (along with an AT-ST). All of a sudden I've seen more demand for the Turbo Tank in person, but that could just be isolated local craziness that I have witnessed.
I'll just post this here since it was one of the things featured, but I was watching Looney Tunes with our daughter today on Cartoon Network and they had a commercial for the Hasbro CW toys. It showed Dooku, battle droids, the AATs, the Turbo Tank, the Freeco Bike and other miscellaneous things from what I could see. Just thought it was neat to see a non-role play Star Wars toy commercial, it has been awhile I think.

The chances of Los — a Baltimore rapper once signed to and quietly dropped from Diddy's Bad Boy Records — being named one of XXL's 2012 Freshmen aren't good.
Like most of the hip-hop-only magazines on stands, XXL's clout in rap-circles has diminished greatly over the years. Yet somehow, its annual issue of up-and-comers generates heated debates online, and thus, we still care when Baltimore rappers are included. (Congrats, also, to Mullyman, the only other Baltimore MC included on the ballot.) But let's be real — Los will likely not beat out the likes of French Montana, A$AP Rocky and Machine Gun Kelly. Even drivel such as Kreayshawn and Sam Adams have better shots. Like it or not, these are rappers making serious impact both online and in the streets. The same can't eb said for Los or Mullyman. If Los or Mully somehow make it, then I will happily eat these words...
But really, who cares? A rap career isn't made by an XXL Freshmen cover (even if it significantly helps it, there are plenty of examples of Freshmen falling flat post-cover — remember Blu or Charles Hamilton?). Without a major-league co-sign or a trendy regional sound, rappers exist on their own social-media-driven islands, free to creatively push themselves and release material how and when they see fit. It must be frightening ("How many freestyles do I have to release to get noticed?") and liberating ("Screw it, I'm going to go in over this weird, indie-rock-sampling beat"). To make any dent nationally, most rappers must make their movements seem interesting/different/cool enough to get picked up by national tastemakers (Hi, A$AP crew, MGK's Lace Up, Odd Future, etc.).
Or they could be like Los, who seems determined to do this the old-fashioned way: rapping very well. His latest "freestyle" (please no comments about what a freestyle *truly* is — we're aware Los likely didn't come up with all of this on the spot) finds the Baltimore MC rapping over "Lord Knows," Drake's boisterous battlecry produced by Just Blaze. It's a standout from Drake's "Take Care" because there's no chorus; it's simply a backdrop to showoff over. For nearly five minutes, King Los does just that. Early on, he makes simple rhymes sound powerful:
"Now I'm in that Maserati
Driving like a kamikaze
Diamonds on me kinda rocky
Blind you like the paparazzi"
When the beat changes, so does his flow. He adopts a double-time with ease when the vocal sample arrives, spitting "Nutty Professor" references alongside more regal ones. Bragging in rap — no matter if the subject is being the best rapper, driving the fastest car or sleeping with the hottest women — never gets boring as long as you say it in an interesting way. So while there's plenty to unpack in "Lord Knows (Freestyle)," Los will reward you with crammed-in, wonderous imagery. "Flossin' bad, pop the top look like I got the drop in the Boston Crab" turns an unspecified convertible into a classic wrestling manuever. Even when he shows signs of laziness ("It's goin' down, it's goin' down like the bungee pop") he quickly follows it with "Play me? I let the animal out like the Jumanji box." Will Los' keen eye translate to nationwide tours and more fans? It can't hurt.

text: Zero Sprayer Drift Sought by Coalition March 12, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email While environmental factors such as wind make it challenging for farmers to spray with 100% on-target efficiency, that goal was a focus of a coalition and American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) committee work that convened recently comprising the machinery, chemical and research sectors. "With these kind of complex problems that require mutual integration from different stakeholder communities, there's no way that one industry segment can step up and solve the problem," says David Valcore, who has chaired the Spray Drift Task Force Technical Committee since 1996. Participating in the meeting held in conjunction with the recent Ag Connect Expo & Summit in Kansas City were representatives of ASABE, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and CropLife America. The discussion focused on obtaining standards support and evaluating proposals from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which has proposed a test bench for rating the drift potential of self-propelled sprayers that manufacturers anywhere in the world want to sell to farmers and other operators. ISO standards affect global requirements for trade and food-safety alliances, as well as equipment suppliers, Valcore says. The test bench presents challenges to U.S. farmers because it is geared toward European agriculture, where smaller sprayers are more common, Valcore says. For example, one component of the test bench would require drift testing behind sprayers at near-zero windspeeds. That leaves a very limited window for outdoor testing given U.S. weather patterns, Valcore says. For some time, the industry has recognized the need for a U.S. national indoor testing facility for application equipment used to apply crop-protection products, he says. While such a facility doesn't yet exist, an effort is moving forward with a draft proposal with the goal of presenting it to stakeholders this year. The purpose of the document is to identify options for U.S. agricultural resource needs in the area of chemical application. The function of such a coalition "depends on the stakeholders' priority needs, but one of the overarching goals is for ag sustainability with the aim point of zero off-target impact," Valcore says. That means chemicals reach targeted plants without carryover into neighboring fields, waterways or other adjoining areas. Back to news

I had an incredible time at Los Angeles Gay Pride on Sunday! I got to meet the other amazing honorees – including Johnny Weir and Andy Cohen, both gorgeous and fun! Andy lost his phone (that is the worst). Hopefully he found it. I rode in the car with Scott Silverman and John Roberts in his mom wig. We kiki'd the whole way (drag queen terminology for gossiping behind your hands) and laughed our heads off. There were lots of highlights like getting to talk to Fortune Feimster who I absolutely want to adopt! She is so adorable. I was humbled when Mayor John Duran declared June 12th "Margaret Cho Day" in West Hollywood – seriously, what an honor! Also, I got to see many old friends, which for me is what Pride is mostly about – reconnecting with everyone after being away. And the best part was watching the CHO HOs in action! These great people marched with me and even had a dance! I love the CHO HOs! I am eternally grateful! Happy Pride Season!
ps. by popular demand, we have now made the CHO HO tanks available for a limited time in my shop!
Thank you to Mike for organizing the impromptu CHO HO dance:

Miami Art Fairs 2011
The December art fairs in Miami are always a blurred craze of viewing art and people, fascinating and often horrifying. This year, as in years past, DailyServing sent a few writers to Miami to look for the most interesting projects among the fairs, local galleries, and outdoor exhibitions and events. We came back with a mix of work that includes the recent wave of mirror[…..]

SMEs harbouring 300 pirate fonts
Typeface maker gets tough with licensing
The average computer in a small business has 300 unlicensed fonts installed on it, leaving that company exposed to legal action, according to a leading typeface company. Monotype says the scale and importance of font piracy is being overlooked.
The company's Julie Strawson told OUT-LAW Radio, the weekly technology law podcast, that companies which did not ensure that they had licences for all fonts were opening themselves up to the same liabilities as they would if they used pirated software on their machines.
"The whole point of looking at fonts is to ensure you don't have any gaps in your software asset management process," said Strawson, the marketing director of Monotype for Europe. "You're really wasting your time if you don't include fonts, because you could still have security, workflow issues and be left with a liability at the end of the day if you don't include them."
Fonts are, in fact, software, and every one of them needs a licence. That includes not just those within a word processing or desktop publishing application, but those used by a computer's operating system or a television set top box's on screen messages.
Monotype sells a product called Fontwise which trawls computer systems, finds all the fonts sitting on it and tells a company which of them it has a licence for and which are illegal. Strawson says that those font audits can even save a company money.
"A number of large publishers use the [audit] service. Obviously most companies want to be legal these days, so they blanket license," she said. "They say 'I've got 600 users so I'll get a 600 user font licence'. But if you're designing a magazine there might only be two designers on the magazine that need the font, so by actually taking control they are now understanding that they can share font licenses better and cut out that blanket licensing and reduce costs. Future Publishing saved £25,000 in six months doing that, just on font software."
Most people receive fonts as part of software packages, where the licence for the fonts is paid for in bulk by the software manufacturer and that cost passed on to the customer.
Violations occur when a person sends a font to another person who does not have a licence for it. That often happens if someone is sending a document which needs a font which is not installed on the recipient's machine.
While it happens frequently between personal computer users, Monotype is particularly focused on businesses which use fonts without licences, and has joined anti-piracy lobby group the Business Software Alliance in order to clamp down on companies using unlicensed fonts.
Strawson said one industry which often uses pirated fonts is the design and publishing industry, which is more dependent than most on typefaces.
"This is a very big issue in the creative professional marketplace where graphic design goes on," said Strawson. "There's quite a culture we find that's quite tough to change, where fonts are sent along with jobs to printers and repro houses and so on."
"We're very keen to try and stop that illegal redistribution of fonts. It's very inexpensive when you consider that they are a necessary tool for the printer to produce his product and the printer is making a profit on that product," she said.

? about preemie
Are you part of the NICU club? Do you have a child who is still struggling with the effects of being born too soon from preeclampsia? Share your concerns and stories here among parents who have been there.
Re : ? about preemie
What is FMLA? I have health insurance through my employer but pay in full for it. Its juat a group plan. I guess I am just worried that it will run out if I have to be on best rest or NICU time? I just want to be prepared for anything.
Re : ? about preemie
I am a teacher so my leave is a bit different. I was on hospital bedrest in December for a few weeks and that counted as part of my leave. I delivered and then 4 weeks after my C-section, I went back to work because I needed the money. It was very, very hectic as I would pump at least 2 times a day at work, change clothes at the end of the day-due to RSV season, go to NICU, eat dinner at hospital, stay until late, sleep and repeat. I would call NICU when I got the chance during the day. If Luke was having a bad day or night, I would call in sick on those days. Then, when he came home, I stayed out for 10 more weeks. I went back the last 2 weeks of school. I had the summer to stay home. My husband was only working part time and my dad and grandparents helped me out because the dr. didn't want day care due to RSV and germs. Knowing that I could have a repeat if I ever got PG again and I only have 10 weeks of paid leave, we have saved at least one months pay in the bank in case I am out of work again. Good luck.
Re : ? about preemie
I went back to work while my daughter was in the NICU then when she was released I went back "out" on maternity leave. It really depends on what you employer is willing to do to help and what your FMLA benefits afford. In Tennessee we get extra time over what FMLA provides.
Re : ? about preemie
Since I had a c-section with my last preemie, I had 8 weeks materinty leave right after she was born. Unfortunately, I spent it at the nicu vs. being at home with my baby. I took a total of 4 months off after she was born and since my husband was laid off, he has taken over as mr. mom. The plan is for him to go back to work around her 1st birthday and she will go into day care at that time. We've been able to do this with me working full time with benefits and him collecting unemployment. We didn't "have" to spend a year at home with her (vs. day care). It kind of worked out that way. Her drs preferred that she stayed out of day care until the flu/cold season was over (April in CA).
? about preemie
Since I had my daughter at 30 weeks...I know my possibilities of having my next child early. My question is...when a child is in the nicu how do you go back to work or do you not? Also when your child comes home do you have to spend a year at home with them? The only reason I ask is because I have insurance through my job and I just want to be prepared. If you could just share your experiences that would be great !Thanks :)

Feb. 20, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - In a non-conference men's volleyball match on Tuesday night, nationally-ranked No. 10 MIT registered a 30-21, 30-16, 23-30, 30-21, victory over Lasell College. With the win, the Engineers improved to 16-1 overall while the Lasers fell to 7-9.
Both squads traded points to open the match before MIT went up, 7-5. Lasell quickly tied the game, but the Engineers regained the advantage on a service error. The Lasers generated a three-point spurt that resulted in their first lead of the night at 10-8. MIT responded with four consecutive points to go ahead for good. Lasell remained within striking distance as it trailed, 21-19. A strike by Scott Pollom sparked a 7-0 run by the Engineers that helped propel them to victory.
In the second stanza, MIT established an early edge (4-3) that it did not relinquish. The Lasers continued to attack despite facing a 17-11 deficit. Following its own timeout, Lasell picked up three points in a row that cut the margin in half. The Engineers countered by outscoring the Lasers, 13-2, to seal the second game win.
Lasell quickly went ahead, 6-4, in the third frame and eventually extended its lead to 14-9. Both teams alternated scoring until MIT picked up three consecutive points to close the gap to 18-16. With the score at 22-20, a service error generated a five-point run for the Lasers. The Engineers could not overcome the deficit as Lasell forced a fourth game.
The Lasers held a 3-1 edge in the final game, but MIT rattled off four points in a row. The game was closely played until the Engineers' margin grew to 16-11. After a Lasell timeout, the Lasers responded by scoring six out of the next eight points to cut the deficit to one (18-17). Each squad posted a pair of points to maintain the one-point difference. A service error helped MIT extend its lead to 23-19, which prompted another timeout by Lasell. The Lasers picked up a point following the break, but strong serving by Eric Reuland powered the Engineers to match point. Lasell broke up the run, but Scott Pollom's strike sealed the match for MIT.
Praveen Pamidimukkala paced the Engineers with 19 kills, a .471 hitting percentage, and 13 digs as Reuland recorded 11 kills and two aces. Pollom turned in a solid performance with 14 kills, a .391 hitting percentage, five blocks, and two aces. Michael Demyttenaere registered nine kills and seven blocks while Ryan Dean contributed 12 digs. Philip Rogoz tallied 50 assists, six blocks, and two aces.
Serge Melnik led Lasell with 16 kills and one ace as Scott Penna notched 13 digs, 11 kills, and three blocks. Bryan Bobo posted 39 assists and three blocks while Joe Lipski added 14 digs.
Next up for MIT will be a road match at Lesley University on Monday, Feb. 26 while Lasell will host Emmanuel College on Thursday, Feb. 22.

Leaders of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Binh Duong and Bac Ninh will create the most favorable conditions to invite and welcome Apple projects to be invested in Vietnam.
Ho Chi Minh City
Apple has proposed to build a database center serving Asia in Vietnam. The project has a total investment of approximately 1 billion USD. Presently, Apple is looking for place to put on the project construction headquarter.
According to Mr Nguyen Van Hung from HCMC's Department of Planning and Investment, the leaders of the City have surveyed and contacted with Apple in the United States. The City always ready to welcome the high-tech projects.
Moreover, according to Mr Le Hoai Quoc from HCMC hi tech park, their management board has also actively contact with representatives of Apple in the previous year. The general view of the city as well as the management board is looking forward and welcoming the projects with high technological content. Therefore, the city has been very interested and willing to introduce to the Apple representatives about the preferred location for their investment projects. However, it seems they have chosen Hanoi.
Binh Duong
Similarly, in Binh Duong, Binh Duong People's Committee also said that they are looking forward to welcome Apple's projects to Binh Duong.
If their choice is Binh Duong, Apple will enjoy all the best preferential policies according to the criteria of high technology sector.
Binh Duong has favorable conditions, clear mechanisms and policies to attract investment with the most beautiful and modern infrastructure in the country.
In terms of location, Binh Duong is the HCMC's gateway center. It is just 30 minutes driving from Tan Son Nhat airport to Binh Duong. All the conditions are not inferior to Bac Ninh and Bac Giang.
Binh Duong is the place that gathering most of the supporting technology manufacturing enterprises from Japan and South Korea. Hence, if Apple headquarter is located here, this province certainly can meet part of their business requirements. Binh Duong seems to be the only one area in Vietnam that develops high technology.
Bac Ninh
Bac Ninh is the province that is attracting a lot of high-tech projects, including Samsung as one of Apple's major competitor.
This seems to be opportunities for both investors to compete with each other because everything is equal.
In addition to the general incentives policy of the Government, Bac Ninh is ready to offer their own incentive policies. In any case that the supporting was not enough, Bac Ninh will looking for further support.
In terms of the incentives policies for high-tech enterprises, Bac Ninh is currently leading the country, other provinces still have to learn from Bac Ninh to develop their policies. Moreover, Samsung and Nokia are still located in Bac Ninh therefore Apple will feel satisfy.

|~drawstring bread bag made from a repurposed vintage linen wall calendar~
Did you know that storing bread in a linen cloth bag extends its shelf life, keeping the crust crisp and the inside soft and chewy? Read more about how and why in this wonderfully information article from our friends at 1840 Farm.
And to purchase your own linen bread bag, check out our selection of drawstring bread bags made from repurposed vintage linen wall calendars HERE in our esty shop. They make a wonderful gift along with a loaf of freshly baked bread!
If you're looking for something to read, Make the Bread, Buy the Butter by Jennifer Reese is a great book that I'm currently reading. Part memoir, part cookbook, the book chronicles the author's personal experience attempting to make more than 100 common food items at home, along with her recommendations on which really are worth making yourself - and which aren't. Some of them might surprise you. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a new book for your nightstand.

Club Med Avoriaz Reviews
My party of 18 mixed sex and ages have just returned from another fantastic week at Club Med in Avoriaz. This is the 2nd time we have used Club Med and it is without a doubt the best package around being all inclusive, ( apart from ski equipment). I have visited this resort many times and tried all types of accommodation but this is without a doubt the best. The staff are very friendly and always pleased to help. Down side is Club Med office staff are not the best company to deal with be patient the effort is well worth it. Also some of the French guests could do with a lesson in manners but this seems to be the norm whether you are French or English.
Apres Ski: 4/5
Accommodation & Value: 5/5

Our holiday at club Med Avoriaz was a great week's skiing with excellent staff who looked after both us and our children extremely well. The food was excellent and whilst the hotel does look a bit tired in places the service and overall atmosphere was very good.

Course Spotlight: Dacey Community Fields
Friday, November 16, 2012 by mcmanus
For those disc golfers starving for a new course in the dg wasteland of the Route 495 southeast corridor, your ship has come in! Dacey Community Fields park in Franklin MA is officially open!
Hole 1: Dacey Community Park
While this par 62, 5,890 foot course is still being tweaked for tee pad work, fairway clearing and overall flow, it is quite playable in its current state. The course is entirely wooded and offers a challenging variety of flat, uphill and downhill layouts that will require a variety of shots from the bag. Placement shots are key on this course; however, there are also opportunities for long bombs, but accuracy is a constant throughout. Hole 1 (295 ft par 4) starts you off with a bang....a lefty hyzer or righty flick down a tight, flat dogleg right corridor, interrupted by a creek just beyond the midway point.
The course has good flow, with the exception of holes 17 and 18 where you must backtrack a bit; however, I've heard that's also being tweaked. Most impressive is the layout of the fairways. Course designers Jay Mello and Ryan Jette have done a masterful job in designing Dacey to be a very technical course with deceptively long fairways and challenging pin placements. The course is neatly tucked away behind the athletic fields of Dacey Community Fields and is a mere 20 minutes off route 495 at exit 17.
A mere 25 minutes from Borderland DGC, Dacey offers a nice challenging alternative and the course is only going to get better over time. A word of caution, the leaf litter hides many small cut stumps, so be mindful of your footing as you traverse the fairways. Also, for those holes where the basket is blind from the tee pad, it may be a good idea to have a spotter, especially during leaf fall season and winter snow. There are white arrows throughout the course to make finding the next hole relatively easy, just remember to look for them as there are cleared paths that lead to nowhere if you miss the arrows. The first hole is a bit challenging to find. When you pull into the parking lot, park on the left side and look for the practice basket in a raised grassy area between the left athletic field and the dog park on the right. Go left from the practice basket and look for a pathway that goes into the woods on your right at the corner of the athletic field. Follow the pathway and you will see a sign that says "next tee"..this will actually lead you to the first tee.(the sign may have changed since I was there)
Dacey is certainly a worthy and most welcome addition to the 495 corridor so take the time to check it out. You can follow the NEFA thread on Dacey here to check up on the latest developments, gatherings, happenings, improvements, etc. With Borderland getting more popular and crowded with each passing year , its certainly nice to have another choice in this area of MA..and what a great choice it is! To my knowledge, the current course record is at 59, held by John Tserpes, so come and give it your best...you won't be disappointed!
