My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I have worked for myself my whole life. I have small businesses related to agriculture and a small farm. As far as the past, I am most proud of my 3 kids. My wife left when they were young children and moved out of the country so I learned how to be a Mister Mom. as for the future I feel best about my volunteer work. I am a CASA, on the board of our local historical society and Arts commission. And a member of the community foundation grants committee, as well as a 20+ year Lion.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Having fun with kids and family.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
my smile, friendly personality, people tell me I'm very hugable!
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
My daughter in "Secret Garden" "Noises Off" and any of her other stage productions. Movies, All except Horror flicks and boring French films that take them self too seriously. Music, almost anything but Ive got to be in rare mood to listen to country or opera divas.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
family, friends, love, hugs, cell phone and yes I'm ashamed to say by big TV
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
My kids ... the future... my businesses... volunteer projects and activities.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Ideally with friends or family, or setting up the weekends activities, at a "music in the park" series or I can be just as happy staying home and resting up, because what would make me different is I often work Saturdays. So, early to bed on Friday nights is not unusual because as a business owner Saturday is a great time to catch up.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I really don't know what I'm looking for in a relationship.

Hipster Medical ID Bracelets w/Contempo ID
- Product Review (submitted on September 1, 2012):
- My daughter is very pleased with her ID bracelet. It's comfortable and doesn't snag on clothing. I really like the fact that it's stainless steel and doesn't pose any problems with metal allergies.
Mom approves!

Thomas Sowell: The cynical politics of public budgets
The answer, of course, is that it would cut back on the medications for children. Why? Because that would be what was most likely to get the budget cuts restored. If they cut back on building statues of Benedict Arnold, people might ask why they were building statues of Benedict Arnold in the first place.
The example was deliberately extreme as an illustration. But, in the real world, the same general pattern can be seen in local, state and national government responses to budget cuts.
At the local level, the first response to budget cuts is often to cut the police department and the fire department. There may be all sorts of wasteful boondoggles that could have been cut instead, but that would not produce the public alarm that reducing police protection and fire protection can produce. And public alarm is what can get budget cuts restored.
The Obama administration is following the same pattern. The Department of Homeland Security, for example, released thousands of illegal aliens from prisons to save money - and create alarm.
The Federal Aviation Administration says it is planning to cut back on the number of air traffic controllers, which would, at a minimum, create delays for airline passengers, in addition to fears for safety that can create more public alarm.
Republicans in the House of Representatives have offered to pass legislation giving President Obama the authority to pick and choose what gets cut - anywhere in the trillions of dollars of federal spending - rather than being hemmed in by the arbitrary provisions of the sequester.
This would minimize the damage done by budget cuts concentrated in limited areas, such as the Defense Department. But it serves Obama's interest to maximize the damage and the public alarm, which he can direct against Republicans.
President Obama has said that he would veto legislation to let him choose what to cut. That should tell us everything we need to know about the utter cynicism of this glib man.
The sequester creates more visible damage and more public alarm than if the President were given the authority to trim a little here and a little there in the vast trillions of dollars spent by the government, in order to make a relatively small "cut" that still leaves total federal spending higher than last year.
Only in Washington is a reduction in the rate of growth of spending called a "cut." Moreover, costly boondoggles not covered by the sequester can continue and grow.
Obviously Obama wants public alarm, which he can use to help defeat the Republicans in the 2014 elections, so that Democrats can take back control of the House of Representatives.
When Obama was offered the authority to make the spending cuts wherever he chooses, anywhere in the government's multi-trillion dollar budget, it was the only power that this power-grabbing President has rejected.
Why? Because with this new power would go responsibility for the consequences of his choices. And responsibility for consequences is precisely what both the Obama administration and the Senate Democrats have been avoiding for years, by refusing to pass a federal budget, as required by the Constitution of the United States.
Democrats prefer to get the political benefits from handing out goodies, while Republicans can be blamed for not subsequently raising enough taxes to pay for the Democrats' spending spree.
If Obama succeeds in maneuvering the Republicans into positions that cause them to lose control of the House of Representatives in the 2014 elections, then as a President who never has to face the voters again, he would be in an ideal position to create a big spending liberals' heaven.
But it will be far from heaven for the economy, with Obama-appointed bureaucrats burying businesses in red tape and job-killing costs, while expanding the size and arbitrary powers of government. We could become the world's largest banana republic.

Five public barbecue spots in DubaiBe the first to comment 24 September 2013
Jumeirah Beach Park
Though you can't barbecue on the sand itself, there are plenty of designated pits in the park's grassier areas, plus a burger joint if you find yourself growing impatient. On weekends, the park tends to rank among the city's busiest, but as it's set over 12 hectares, there's more than enough space for everyone.
Park entry Dhs5. Jumeirah Beach Road, opposite Chili's Restaurant (04 349 2555).

Good varied tournaments, and its fun to see the pros in the game.
This year's game does put a greater emphasis on its included pro players, and the online multiplayer is certainly a draw, but the offline play is still a bit mundane, thanks to off-kilter artificial intelligence and lackluster presentation.

FuguM.Jan 10, 2007Awesome poker game, my only dish is that unless you have it in fast play mode, it is pretty slow, lots of thinking.

The bodies of seven Coptic Christian Egyptians were found in the eastern city of Benghazi, killed with shots to the head while handcuffed, a Libyan security official told the news agency AFP.
The spokesman of Benghazi's Joint Security Operation Room, Colonel Ibrahim al-Sharaa, said that the bodies were found yesterday in an area called Garoutha, 20 miles from the city centre.
The ages of the dead range between 17 and 25, he said.
Since the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, the Government has relied on militias, many of them Islamic extremists, to preserve order.
Last month six Egyptians diplomats and embassy officials were abducted in retaliation for the arrest of a top Islamic militia commander in Egypt.
Last year, scores of Egyptian Christians were kidnapped in Benghazi and tortured, the news agency reported.

How To Become A Cameraman
If you want to pursue a career in television an easy way to break into the industry is to learn how to become a cameraman. All you need are some basic skills and a little experience to land a paying gig. Here are some tips to help you get your first job.
- Take video production classes. Inexpensive courses are available at community colleges and even at your local public access station. Take entry-level classes that cover camera operation, floor direction, audio board operation, script writing and maybe even video editing. Even if you only want to run camera, the more skills you acquire the more marketable you are.
- Volunteer. Now that you have the skills you need some experience. Offer to volunteer at your city's PBS station. They regularly hold telethons and create shows so they can use the help. Volunteer opportunities are also available at public access stations. There are always show producers in need of another set of hands.
- Intern. Internships are a great way to break-in at a station and you don't have to be a student. You just won't get paid much if at all. Remember a pay check isn't your goal at this point. You need hands-on experience.
- Contact your local news station. Apply to be a production assistant (PA). These are the guys and girls behind the camera. Even if the station of your choice isn't hiring now, fill out an application. PAs are entry-level positions so turnover is high. Positions open up regularly.
- Check out other opportunities. Television stations aren't the only employers that need cameramen. Event planners, independent production boutiques, sport teams, theater production groups and filmmakers all need cameramen.

here's mine! wish I had this sooner!
Told my buddy about it (new brewer 1st batch tonight up in NJ so I couldn't be there) and he built this cheap quick version with wire coat hanger and a paint strainer bag. He said it worked great with 3oz of hops and probably good for even more!
Mine is pretty simple also.
Paint Strainer bag, SS coupling, 4" PVC pipe and "cup hook". Took about 2 minutes to make is plenty strong.
I have used mine for 6 batch's now,
I am so happy with it. Cleaning it isnt that hard...
cool thing it is great for, Is if you are adding adjuncts ie brown sugar, spices, coffee, etc..
I have been just throwing them in the bag and its worked like a champ.
One of the Best investments yet! So i tell swmbo
Will be building one this weekend, in anticipation of brewing a Firestone Walker Union Jack clone next Friday (care of Can You Brew It). Will definitely help with decreasing the hop sludge!
I built mine based on Homebrew58's design the You Tube video. i used a 5" pvc coupling, a 1/2" cpvc pipe through the center, and the clamp and 5 gal. strainer bag. Easy build but a few issues during the boil: the hop bag got so full it slid off the coupling b/c there is no lip to help secure the worm clamp. The coupling needs a channel or a lip to sit on top of to keep it more secure. Also the cpvc pipe was bending like crazy. the other issue was clogging. I recirculate my wort during the boil, so I decided to place the hose inside the bag to help with hop utilization. Well, the bag got so clogged up with hop pellets and hot break sludge that the wort level inside the bag was several inches higher than the wort level outside the bag. It was almost a disaster!
The next time i will add my hops to the boil without the hop strainer bag and then use the pump to recirculate the wort through the bag at flame out. After the entire batch has circulated through the bag i will then run it through the plate chiller. If any one has thoughts on this let me know...
I had the same problem. The hose clamp and bag slipped off the coupling. I added 4 small screws around the bottom edge of the coupling. They act like a rim. I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
i made one of these recently, but i also wanted to be able to break it down quickly for storage, (having this 2' threaded rod "+" was not ideal) So i use the threaded rods to hold the hop bag in place, I cut a holes in the bag where the threaded rod goes thru the pvc. After brewing i just loosen and remove the nuts around the pvc collar the bag ans threaded rod arms come off for cleaning and i can store the hole thing in a little drawer in my garage. Oh I used the 4" to 3" pvc adapter.
How effectively does this strain the hop residue from wort/beer?
What about the lower part of panty hose? Don't yet know how it would hold up to boiling temps.. but the mesh is really fine. I'm thinking there would be less fines finding their way thru the normal nylon bags. I'd have an endless supply the way my wife goes thru them with runs around the knees.. she's snagging them on stuff all the time.
I have been using this for about a year now for all my brewing on my all grain system. It works great. I build the one that is near the top of the thread with the 4" PVC fitting and there lengths of rod coming out the sides and the large hose clamp around the neck.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pull is in the air. Pull is the ability to draw out people and resources as needed to address opportunities and challenges. We pull movies and news items on demand. We pull the information we need at light speed on internet search engines. But these activities are merely the surface of something more profound that is reshaping the world around us. By positioning themselves to take advantage of these growing networks of activity internally and externally, companies gain access to flows of knowledge and information that allow them to 'scale learning' in their organization and across their ecosystem.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120803/MM52028LOGO-b)
The implications – outlined in "THE POWER OF PULL: How Small Moves, Smartly Made, Can Set Big Things in Motion" (Basic Books; Trade Paperback Reprint; December 4, 2012) – are profound. Today, just one in five workers in the U.S. is truly passionate about his or her work, according to pioneering research conducted for the book. But the rising world of pull creates more opportunities for workers to shape their future and roles, even in a sluggish economy.
Business leaders, according to the authors, will find a framework to better understand how to expand their organizations with fewer resources once they embrace the power of pull. Passionate, engaged workers will be a large part of that expanded impact. These are the employees that turn pressure into opportunity and are more likely to seek out challenging roles that drive them to test their limits. These workers see new and daunting challenges as opportunities to get better at what they do. The book will explain how you can identify them in your company and use them to their fullest capacity.
Available now in paperback, THE POWER OF PULL goes beyond the surface events that are often distractions and examines the deep forces reshaping our world. Drawing on stories and examples from around the world, authors John Hagel III, John Seely Brown, and Lang Davison show us how pull can be more systematically used to shape serendipity. They show that what we thought we knew about pull is just the tip of the iceberg, obscuring the real power of pull. Pull can bring us together in new ways to drive more rapid performance improvement (in such diverse arenas as extreme surfing and large scale business networks emerging in China) and provide powerful platforms to more fully achieve our potential. The authors also provide us with pragmatic migration paths to aid us in getting from where we are today to where we need to be in a world of pull.
"A fundamental shift from a world of push to a world of pull has been playing out for decades, but new technologies have emerged making it more feasible to transform even a large, staid institution into an organization able to make the most of waves of exponential change," said John Hagel, co-chairman of the Deloitte Center for the Edge, Deloitte LLP. "This fundamental shift allows individuals and organizations to stay on the edge of their field regardless of how quickly change happens."
The book brings a tight, logical, structure to this transformed world. The authors identify and explain three waves of change, three levels of pull that are becoming central to success, and three elements of the journey we all need to make in order to understand and master pull.
The three waves of change are:
- Infrastructural Shift- began with the microprocessor revolution that began in the 70s and continues today with new technological changes
- Knowledge Flows- barriers to communicating more richly were broken down by the technological changes, and they continue unabated
- Institutional Innovations- this third wave is the world that will be created by the forces driving the evolution of the Big Shift
The three levels of pull the authors identify are:
- Access- the ability to find and get to the people and resources we need when and where we need them
- Attract- the ability to shape our serendipitous encounters so that we increase the probability and quality of those encounters. When used skillfully, online tools can allow us to attract people, talent, and knowledge from unexpected directions
- Achieve- using the techniques described above to achieve our potential in less time and with more impact than has ever been possible
The three elements that shape the path that individuals and institutions must take to traverse from push to pull are:
- Trajectory- the path toward a meaningful destination helps shape choices and action in the near term while defining a destination helps focus effort and initiative
- Leverage-the opportunity to connect with others and expand impact through the mechanism of pull
- Pace – the speed which helps us to move quickly at a time when everything around us is changing and accelerating
Recognizing and grasping these changes, the levels of pull and the elements of the journey are vital to understand what this new world will look and feel like.

Praise for
How Small Moves, Smartly Made, Can Set Big Things in Motion
(Basic Books; Trade Paperback Reprint; December 4, 2012)
"The Power of Pull examines the 'how question'—how can we effectively address our most pressing challenges in a rapidly changing and increasingly interdependent world? In The Power of Pull, John Hagel, John Seely Brown, and Lang Davison highlight fascinating new ways in which passionate thinking, creative solutions, and committed action can—and will—make it possible for us to seize opportunities and remain in step with change."
—William Jefferson Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of America
"Hagel, Brown, and Davison have given us a provocative and insightful look at the power of today's knowledge flow. If you want to meet the challenges of working and living in the 21st century, this book should be your guide."
—Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO of Google
"The Power of Pull will do for our 21st-century information-age institutional leadership what Peter Drucker's The Concept of the Corporation did for industrial-era management. This book begins to create a body of learnable principles that will revolutionize our ability to access and work with knowledge flows."
—Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives
"The Power of Pull provide[s] great insight into the quickly changing world of information. On the surface, [it is a] book about technology and business, but on a deeper level, reveal[s] much more about the future of communication, culture, and people."
"In a ferociously dynamic world, what happens if we can't plan but can only adapt? We must move, say the authors, from push to pull. At the center of the pull strategy is an individual (not a corporation) who has access to knowledge flows, takes advantage of porous boundaries and serendipitous interactions, and occupies new creative spaces to achieve a novel order of performance. I know. It's a complex model with several moving parts. But it makes for an exhilarating read as the authors sublimely reinvent the world of enterprise."
—Harvard Business Review
"Provocative…the beauty of The Power of Pull is that the authors bring such seemingly disparate ideas into one simple, overarching imperative: Stop pushing; start pulling."
—MIT Sloan Management Review
"A succinct metaphor for the shift in the information economy—from 'push' to 'pull'."
—Publishers Weekly
"The Power of Pull is anchored on a framework that includes multiple dimensions in which interventions and initiatives happen and in their interplay comes out a very different mechanism of operation that encompasses business, process, and people."
—Seattle Post Intelligencer
"In times of unprecedented change, we as individuals and institutions can have extraordinary leverage and influence if we marshal the passion, knowledge and resources necessary to achieve great things. The Power of Pull empowers and guides us to make the most of today's enormous possibilities."
—John Naisbitt, author of Megatrends
"Stop whatever you are doing and read this amazing book. The authors totally nail it. Digging beneath the surface of stuff that distracts us on a daily basis, they unpack the deep forces that really truly matter and provide a guidebook each of us can use to unleash passion, transform how and why we work, and restore destiny and dignity to our lives."
—Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class and The Great Reset
"We live in a global village, where borders are blurred, where all humanity could and should be responsible for the well-being of others. The Power of Pull proposes fresh insights that coalesce into a powerful way forward in this new world. This erudite manual for change is a testament to the creativity and insight of its authors."
— Mark E. Tucker, Former Group Chief Executive of Prudential plc, Member of the Court of the Bank of England
"As social media and enterprise cloud computing continue to exert their democratizing influences, the Power of Pull will become a key principle for success. The individuals who learn how to use these tools most effectively are the ones who will pull their institutions into new heights of rapid innovation, improved performance and significant achievement."
—Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com
"This brilliant and exciting book shows how to pursue your passions by harnessing the power of networks. Success no longer comes from possessing knowledge; instead, you have to participate with others in creating a flow of knowledge. The power of 'pull'—the ability to draw out people and resources for each endeavor—can transform both individuals and institutions."

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs. In this Power Panel at 15th Cloud Expo (http://www.CloudComputingExpo.com), moderated by Ashar Baig, Research Director, Cloud, at Gigaom Research, Nate Gordon, Director of T...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

Matt's Pick – Matt Taylor (Preußen Münster – German 3. Liga)
Matt Taylor has a team-leading eight goals after scoring two this past weekend in Saarbrücken's 4-1 win over Pirmasens (highlights).
Howie's Pick – Christian King (Ararat – Armenian Premier League)
Christian King scored twice in Ararat's 3-2 loss to Ulisses in Armenian Premier League action (highlights).
FIFA announced its finalists for the FIFA Ballon d'Or and for the FIFA World Coach of the Year. While no USMNT players made the Ballon d'Or list (how did Alan Gordon not get nominated?!), Jurgen Klinsmann is one of the 10 finalists for the Coach of the Year award.
FIFA also plans to show off its new logo for the 2018 World Cup later today.
It looks like the USMNT might play Switzerland in a friendly in Zurich in March.
Congrats to the US Women's National Team for winning the CONCACAF Women's Championship and clinching a spot in next summer's World Cup. Since 1990, the US is one of three countries to qualify for every men's and women's World Cup (also Germany and Brazil).
Michael Bradley is going to have surgery this week to correct a lingering nerve issue in his foot. This is an injury that has been bugging him for most of the season. Jeff Carlisle asked him if it was an issue prior to the World Cup, which he said no, but I guess it got worse as the season wore on.
I tweeted out a photo over the weekend of Terrence Boyd getting Randy Orton's RKO (WWE wrestling move) preformed on him by a teammate and now we have video of the hilarity.
Jake Keegan went 90 minutes yesterday in Galway FC's 2-1 win over UCD in the first leg of the Irish Premier Division promotion/relegation playoffs. Galway FC scored two late goals to steal the road win and now host UCD on Friday for a chance at promotion.
Alejandro Bedoya missed Nantes' 2-0 win this weekend due to a hamstring strain.
While there were some rumblings that Aron Johannsson might play this weekend for AZ Alkmaar, he did not as they want to give him a few more minutes with the reserve team.
Geoff Cameron returned to Stoke City's starting lineup this past weekend as a holding midfielder, but the Potters fell to Southampton 1-0. Here is a photo of Cameron in action.
Greg Garza had to leave Tijuana's draw to Chivas on Sunday with a head injury.
After scoring 12 goals in 14 games with the U-23 team, Jann George finally saw some first team action with Greuther Furth's senior team in their 5-2 loss to FSV Frankfurt.
We had some goals this weekend. Matt Taylor scored twice in Saarbrücken's 4-1 win over Pirmasens. Christian King scored twice in Ararat's 3-2 loss to Ulisses in Armenian Premier League action. Jerome Kiesewetter scored his second goal of the season on Saturday in Stuttgart II's 1-0 win over Unterhaching. And over Tigres' last two games, we have had goals by Jose Torres and Herculez Gomez.
We also had some assists/sort-of-assists. Mix Diskerud had this pretty little chip assist in Rosenborg's 3-1 win over Sandnes Ulf. And in the sort-of-assist category, Tim Ream and Zak Whitbread each had one for their respective clubs.
Marc Pelosi was back in action with Liverpool's U-21 team this past weekend.
It looks like the US U-20 team might be headed abroad for three friendlies in November.
Mia Hamm was nominated for Roma's board of directors on Monday.
I saw a Clint Dempsey rumor (loan deal back to the Premier League) has been circulating the interwebs in the last 48 hours, but it all came from a short "story" from the Daily Mirror with no quotes (except for an out of context quote from Klinsmann). Come on people, I thought we were better than that.
And finally, no matter what happens with the rest of his career, Stuart Holden is still awesome.
Matt Taylor scored two goal on Saturday, giving him eight on the season, in Saarbrücken's 4-1 win over Pirmasens in German Regionalliga action. Here are some highlights with Taylor's goals coming at the 1:35 and 5:00 marks.
Only having one game this international break is making this week seem really long and boring (damn you, Colombia). Here are a few links.
Julian Green is now at Hamburg and training (photo). Greg Seltzer got a couple quotes from Green about the move before he headed into the USMNT camp last week. Seltzer also looks at the playing time situation at Hamburg for Green.
Jurgen Klinsmann wants competition between Brad Guzan and Nick Rimando for the #1 goalkeeper spot. OT resident goalkeeper guru Will has a couple words on Guzan/Rimando (plus a lot other information on everything US goalkeepers).
Aron Johannsson is hoping to return to the field in October. And he answered some questions and went kayaking recently.
Jonathan Bornstein has a new teammate at Queretaro. You might have heard about him before.
The 824234 guys at Tijuana have a new manager in Daniel Guzman.
Brian Sciaretta has talked to Jordan Morris and Andrew Jacobson recently.
Eric Lichaj is ready for the Ryder Cup.
Baltimore is in talks with CONCACAF to host some Gold Cup games next summer. We should know the final stadiums/locations in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The US U-20 team takes on the Argentina U-20 team later today. They are 2-0-0 on their trip so far with wins over Racing Club Reserves and Defensa y Justicia Reserves. Bradford Jamieson IV has the best name ever. I want him to make it to the USMNT so I can get his jersey someday.
While none of the big boys played this weekend, a lot of the smaller leagues still played and we had goals by Jake Keegan, Irvin Raul Parra, Matt Taylor and Royal-Dominique Fennell. A couple other guys scored this weekend that I haven't found highlights of yet, but check out our goal tracker for more information.
Matt Taylor went the full 90 minutes and scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season in Saarbrücken's 3-0 win over Koblenz on Friday. Taylor now has four goals in his last three games. Here are some highlights with Taylor's goal coming at the 4:30 mark.
Lots of action this past weekend.
Steven Goff has you covered with a weekend roundup of the bigger names in Europe. Good to see Rubio Rubin and Emerson Hyndman both made appearances again in their respective team's starting lineups. Hyndmann is 18 years old and completing 91 percent of his passes this season, fourth highest in the Championship among players with 100+ attempted passes.
As for some goals, Matt Taylor bagged another two goals in Saarbrücken's 2-1 win over Nöttingen (highlights). Taylor has put together a nice little career in the various lower leagues in Germany, scoring 55 goals in 162 league appearances since 2008-09.
Bobby Warshaw went the full 90 minutes and scored the opening goal of the game in Bærum's 2-1 loss to Hønefoss (highlights). Over in Sweden, Andrew Stadler scored his 11th goal of the season in Landskrona's 1-1 draw to Sirius (highlights). Down in the fourth tier in Sweden, Eddy Prugh and Andy Lorei both scored in Bodens BK's 3-2 loss to Anundsjö (highlights). And we don't have highlights of these goals, but Matt Eliason, Drew Jeskey, Anthony Avalos and Christian Eissele also scored this weekend and our goal tracker has some more details. Will Packwood also scored for Birmingham City's U-21 team.
While we had some goals this weekend, the assists might have been even better this weekend. Bobby Wood used his head to assist on 1860 Munich's goal in their 1-1 draw to Darmstadt 98 (highlights). Here is also a photo of Wood from that game. And Alfredo Morales assisted on two goals in Ingolstadt's 3-0 win over Sandhausen (highlights). That second one was pretty slick.
The USMNT did some training yesterday at the headquarters of the Czech Football Association. In case you missed the young roster, John D. Halloran broke things down on Friday. Terrence Boyd is also there in attendance despite his knee injury and Geoff Cameron has been officially ruled out of Wednesday's game due to his injury. I forgot to post this last week, but here is Jurgen Klinsmann's usual post-roster release quote sheet. Also from last Friday, US Soccer announced an October 14 friendly against Honduras.
The US U-20 team is headed to Argentina this week to play Racing Club Reserves, Defensa y Justicia Reserves and Argentina's U-20 team. Here is the updated roster, which features John Requejo Jr., Fernando Arce, Russell Canouse, Junior Flores and Paul Arriola among others. Another interesting name on the list is Chivas de Guadalajara's Luis Martir since Chivas normally has a Mexican international only policy.
We had a pretty quiet Deadline Day on the American front (aside from a dildo going into a reporter's ear, seriously), but we had a couple moves over the last couple of days.
As we posted over the weekend, Julian Green is headed to Hamburg on a season-long loan. And for all those soccer jersey hipsters out there, Hamburg has a decent home shirt this year and Green looks to be wearing #37.
As for some other moves, Duane Holmes is now with League Two side Bury on a loan until January. Seb Hines is now with Coventry City until January on a short-term loan. Gboly Ariyibi signed with English League One side Chesterfield. And US U-20 midfielder Kris Scott has made the move from Swansea City's youth teams to Leicester City's youth teams.
The bigger news on the American front were the moves that did not happen. Stoke City decided to keep Geoff Cameron despite bids from Sunderland and Southampton. Zulte-Waregem made a bid for Sacha Kljestan, but Anderlecht decided to hold onto him as well. And I guess there might have been some rumblings of Southampton sniffing around Brek Shea, but nothing happened (and it was likely silly season nonsense).
And before multiple more people ask me, Juan Agudelo is still without a club and myself (and many others) don't know anything more on his situation.
Brian Sciaretta, writing for multiple outlets, has you covered with some interviews with Brad Guzan and Greg Garza. Jonny Rico also got some audio from Garza and Joe Corona about their recent call-ups to the USMNT.
And finally, Freddy Adu is still in Serbia, still hasn't played for his new team and is suing his former Brazilian team Bahia over alleged unpaid wages.
Matt Taylor scored twice yesterday, giving him five goals on the season, in Saarbrücken's 2-1 win over Nöttingen. Here are some highlights.
Matt Taylor scored his third goal of the season on Wednesday in Saarbrücken's 3-1 win over Zweibrücken. Here are some highlights with Taylor's goal coming at the 0:44 mark.
We have had a few goals over the last few days, including goals (with highlights) from Alonso Hernandez, Marc Heider and David Najem. Matt Taylor also scored yesterday, but the Regionalliga Sudwest highlight show usually takes a couple days to appear on the internet.
Jozy Altidore did not score, but he was involved in Sunderland's second goal yesterday when his shot was saved and Adam Johnson scored on the rebound (highlights).
Yanks Abroad has you covered with a recap of all the Americans who played in the Capital One Cup this week.
Geoff Cameron had to leave Stoke City's game yesterday due to injury. Greg Seltzer is also reporting that Cameron does have suitors, but Stoke City is hesitant to sell him.
Shifting to the USMNT, Landon Donovan's final game with the US will be on October 10 against Ecuador.
The US roster for the Czech Republic friendly should be announced soon, possibly even later today. Sounds like it could be up to 22 names according to Steven Goff.
One player who will not be there, and it is not that surprising between him being a veteran and him joining a new team, is Jermaine Jones.
John Brooks should have a better shot at more playing time at Hertha Berlin with Sebastian Langkamp picking up an injury. Langkamp is expected to miss about a month.
Fresh off his goal from last week, Brian Sciaretta caught up with 22-year-old defender Ventura Alvarado.
Before he disappeared at Fulham over the last two weeks, Emerson Hyndman was doing well in the team's first two games of the season. ASN's Laura Greene gives you a rundown of what people are saying across the interwebs on the young American.
