This - I really don't want another season on Benevento in Serie A...I hope Palermo can get back on form and grab an automatic promotion spot.

The Hearts of Palermo supporters have had a very difficult month. Will all the ownership fiasco, today they played Brescia, who currently are in 1st, scored in the 79th minute to take the lead, only to allow Brescia tie it up in the 90th minute.

Bump. Congrats on a successful update.

Sadly @Cicero - I fear you are correct. I hope Fekir stays, but I keep hearing these Liverpool rumors so I'm not so sure. Ndombele will likely be gone which is a shame, but I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them this year, and hope that they can eliminate Barca in the CL and finish 2nd in the league.

Olympique Lyonnais (French pronunciation: [ɔlɛ̃pik ljɔnɛ]), commonly referred to as simply Lyon (French pronunciation: [ljɔ̃]) or OL, (Euronext: OLG) is a French football club based in Lyon. It plays in France's highest football division, Ligue 1. The club was formed as Lyon Olympique Universitaire in 1899, according to many supporters and sport historians, but was nationally established as a club in 1950.[1] The club's most successful period has been the 21st century. The club won its first Ligue 1 championship in 2002, starting a national record-setting streak of seven successive titles. Lyon has also won a record seven Trophée des Champions, five Coupe de France titles and three Ligue 2 titles. Lyon has participated in the UEFA Champions League 12 times, and during the 2009–10 season, reached the semi-finals of the competition for the first time after three previous quarter-final appearances. Olympique Lyonnais plays its home matches at the 59,186-seat Parc Olympique Lyonnais, commercially known as Groupama Stadium, in Décines-Charpieu, a suburb of Lyon. The club's home colours are white, red and blue. Lyon was a member of the G14 group of leading European football clubs and are founder members of its successor, the European Club Association. Olympique Lyonnais was one of the most popular clubs in France. A 2009 survey found that about 11% of the country's football fans support the club, a proportion Lyon shared with Paris Saint-Germain, behind only Olympique de Marseille.[2] The club's nickname, Les Gones, means "The Kids" in Lyon's regional dialect of Arpitan. The chairman of Lyon is Jean-Michel Aulas and the club is managed by Bruno Génésio. Olympique Lyonnais also has a successful women's football team that has won its league a record 15 times. The women's team has also won nine Coupe de France titles and the UEFA Women's Champions League in 2011, 2012, 2016 and 2017.

Hey - Do you want to make an announcement on the homepage about the maintenance so those members who don't come here aren't jumping off ledges when unable to log on?

You mean fingering them?

That is the new badge that is on the kit

Think about it, then we would have 432 different badges, 5 of which would be Manchester United badges that people re-designed and wanted on their profile. It'd be a mess.

@Rab If it's not a real badge, then it won't be added. Also Rab, Olympique Lyon

@Blue Happy Birthday.

Thanks @nudge - I just put a hold on the Leviathan Wakes at the library.

I need to get into a Sci-Fi series for fun. I haven't read a good one in sooooooooooooo long. Outside of GoT, I'm not even sure when I got into a good Sci-Fi recently.

Currently I'm reading 3 books - One I'm only reading a chapter a day, followed by reading 'Happiness', and at night before bed, I read on Napoleon. So currently, here is what I'm reading. ^ On the Kindle. I am 48% completed ^ Paperback. Just started and reading 2-3 Chapters a day ^Will start today, got this in Hardback from the Library Also, I'm not sure if anyone goes to www.goodreads.com, but I enjoy the website in keeping up with how many books I've read, what I've read, and giving reviews. I just started keeping track of everything in June of last year, but it's a good little Social Media site for bibliophile. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/87531703-lucas-persell

This is exactly my thought on it. So much research is being done and all of Buddhism seems to be on board with learning and not ignoring science because it's an inconvenience to their beliefs. HH DL is actually a big fan of science and has really progressed the Buddhist crowd towards a better understanding of science, belief, and fantasy.

Ha - for such a small book, I figured it was worth a shot. So I'll give it a read and let you know my thoughts. I believe the idea behind the book is to use the Tao's philosophy and make it work for Winnie the Pooh..? I'm also on a massive Mattheiu Ricard kick. With his background in molecular genetics, and having famous parents (Jean-Francois Revel & Yahne Le Toumelin), it's interesting to me how he is a Buddhist monk that still works on the scientific effects of meditation on the brain.

2 reasons, 1. I've actually heard great things about it. 2. It was $1.09

I have.

The Path of Elders Fluent Forever The Four Noble Truths The Tao of Pooh Altruism: The Power of Compassion A Plea for the Animals: The Moral, Philosophical, and Evolutionary Imperative to Treat All Beings with Compassion The Monk and the Philosopher Le Petit Prince (In French, so I can read it to my daughter) The Art of Living : Vipassana Meditation 501 French Verbs Mastering French Vocabulary : A Thematic Approach Harry Potter, Tome 1 : Harry Potter a l'ecole des sorciers (Harry Potter, Book 1, in French) The Attention Revolution Altered Traits: Science Reveals how Meditation Changes your Mind, Brain, and Body

It has been bought! What timing in my life. So for my birthday, my father who most really understand me bought me a Newcastle Scarf and Beanie (Since Atlanta United's best player is now there), and a $100 gift card to Thriftbooks.com (which, if you don't know, is a massive used book store online). So I bought it, and 14 other books so far with just $60.

To think those two have anything in common is a joke.

Haha - and that's my second favorite Russian novel. Oblomov was also good IMO, as well as Dead Souls.

Yeah - it'll certainly a busy one with now being a single parent for the weekend. I swear I have no idea who single parents do it. At least I have a lot of family nearby and a wife who is present, just contagious and unable to actually do anything.

Wife woke up sick, turns out she has strep throat with a bacteria infection on top of it. Doc wants her bed ridden until Wednesday. There goes my weekend.
