I guess I've been slowing down on my normally excessive picture taking.
Tonight Dylan gathered everyone up on the couch and said,
"Mommy! Take our picture! Take our picture! Take our picture! Quick! Before Lauryn gets up!"
Picture one: Dylan and Ryan slam heads together, as Dylan tries to pose everyone for the picture.
Picture two: Apparently the head slamming is causing some brain damage in the form of ocular trauma; Ryan's eyes are nearly bulging out of his head.
Picture three: Sorta cute. Especially Dylan's tonsils. Geesh kid, can you open that mouth any wider?
Two, four, and six years old. Never a dull moment!
Beautiful children!
May the Lord continue to bless you with the gift of sanity.
I love how your kids seem to sparkle in these pictures! You're doing a great job, Starr Cliff! And I love what you said about coming home from the trip to Santa Fe: how you are returning to a life you love. I SO needed to remind myself of that same truth after all the highs of being out of town-out of the norm. The norm isn't so bad, in fact, like you, i'm living in a house far better than any i've lived in before & home life is more healthy than i've ever experienced...full of joy & blessings. God is good! So happy I stopped by to catch up on you before our coffee chat tonight!
I'm Starr Cliff. A domestically-challenged mom, climbing over mountains of laundry to bring you my stray observations and amusing stories about my kids. (more)

Friday Talking Points -- Labor Daze
It surpasses all irony and actually enters into the realm of bitter humor that we're about to celebrate Labor Day when the unemployment rate remains at the sky-high level of 9.1 percent.

For August, Obama averaged 43.8 percent job approval and 50.7 percent disapproval. Among other records he set this month, this is the widest "underwater" gap he's ever posted, with a spread of 6.9 percent.
The nation is waiting to hear what President Obama is going to say tomorrow night, when he gives an address to a joint session of Congress on the subj...
President Barack Obama opened his re-election campaign last night with a wowzer of a speech to a joint session of Congress.
"What will Sarah do?" has been a question on the minds of many in the run-up to the Republican primary season next year.
This will force the public debate to cover the entire scope of the proposals being offered up, and it would do so by providing the data the public most cares about right now: how will this create or destroy jobs?
Obama should run a few ads right now which do not even mention the election. Instead of saying "vote for me!" these ads should say "pass my jobs bill" in as many creative ways as possible.
Today, President Obama unveiled a truly populist agenda, by proposing to tax millionaires at the same tax rate that middle-class Americans pay. By doing so, Obama will (hopefully) redefine the term "populism" in the political conversation.
Previous to her announcement, three polls put her 9-to-19 points behind Brown. Now, the one statewide poll out since her announcement shows her popularity spiking dramatically.
As was entirely predictable, once Obama stood up for taxing the rich folk a wee bit more, the Republicans fired back with what they think is the biggest weapon in their arsenal: screaming "Class warfare!"
[Note: I get a lot of emails from politicians, political groups, and other inside-the-Beltway types, all the time. Occasionally, I get added to a mai...
The Republican National Committee has valiantly tried to lay down the law for the Republican primary season. Their plan will (one way or another) be somewhat of a radical change for the party.
Welcome back, everyone, to this week's edition of So You Think You Can President?!? Just to remind everyone, this year we've got the Republican field of candidates for the party's nomination.

Soufflés are easy to make, they look beautiful, and they taste divine. All in all, they are sure to impress! This version allows the lactose intolerant to enjoy them too.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook broccoli until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain.
2. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in flour; cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, dill, pepper and nutmeg. (Sauce will be very thick.) Remove from heat.
3. Stir feta cheese (if using) into sauce. Beat egg yolks into sauce. Stir in drained broccoli.
4. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt on high speed until soft peaks form. Fold one-quarter of the egg whites into the broccoli-cheese sauce. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using).
5. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown on top. Serve immediately.
Substitute 8 cups (2 L) chopped stemmed kale (about 1 bunch) for the broccoli. Cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and press out excess moisture.
Substitute aged Cheddar cheese for the feta.
If you prefer, buy whole nutmeg and grate it with a rasp (available at cookware stores). The taste of freshly grated nutmeg is far superior to that of packaged ground nutmeg. The rasp will also work well to grate the Parmesan cheese, not to mention the zest of citrus fruits.
Some lactose-intolerant people can handle small quantities of feta and Parmesan without a problem. Whether to include cheese must be considered on an individual basis.
Always check eggs before using. Discard any with cracked shells, as they may carry the salmonella bacteria.
Leftover egg yolks can be used in scrambled eggs, French toast and custards. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

BPOW: Color contrast by the numbers
Users by the numbers
Did you know that about 8% of all men and 0.5% of all women suffer from color vision deficiency (commonly referred to as color blindness)? That's almost 3 million people in Canada, over 26 million people in the United States, and over 610 million people worldwide. 99% of all colorblind people can see colors, but they perceive a much more narrow color spectrum than individuals with normal color vision.
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 246 million people have some form of low vision. Many users with limited vision depend on higher color contrast to distinguish foreground text from the background colors on a web page. And, finally, about 96% of people worldwide use a mobile device. That's a lot of people! If you've ever found yourself standing or sitting outside in the sunshine peering at a tiny mobile screen, you probably know firsthand how much a high contrast on those web pages can enhance your ability to read the text.
Measuring color contrast
There are three attributes that can mathematically determine color contrast: hue, saturation, and luminance:
- hue: the color (think about the color wheel)
- saturation: the intensity of that color (zero being neutral grey, 239 being the highest saturation for that color)
- luminance: lightness or brightness of that color, the degree of reflected light
To calculate a sufficient minimum color contrast, tools like Jonathan Snook's colour contrast check analyzes hue + satuation + luminance to create a ratio of foreground color to background color. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines defines the minimum color contrast ratio as follows to meet Level AA:
- 3:1: all text that is 14pt and bold (approximately 18px)
- 3:1: all text that is 18pt and larger (approximately 24px)
- 4.5:1: all text that is 14pt and not bold or smaller
Testing with users
While logos are excluded from minimum color contrast requirements, it's important to think about the benefits of having your logo clearly visible to the widest group of users online. Consider testing your color choices using High Contrast Mode in Windows to ensure that any reversal of colors on the screen still provides a sufficient color contrast ratio.And finally, keep in mind that not all color combinations behave the same way for all users. Some color combinations can cause issues for users with cognitive disabilities. For this reason, we encourage you to explore what works best with your company's brand colors when defining any color contrast above a 4.5:1 ratio and do your research with real users.

Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish will have to put their road careers on hold if they want to return to the track in Brazil.
That's the view of British Cycling endurance coach Chris Newton.
The duo are Britain's most successful road riders in history, having won 25 stages of the Tour de France, a yellow jersey and a world title between them, but both have hinted that they would like to return to the track in the four-man, 4km discipline in Rio de Janeiro.
Wiggins is keen to add another Olympic pursuit gold medal to the three he already has from Athens and Beijing, while Cavendish was romanced by the drama in the London Velodrome last summer and openly stated his desire to join the team.
Newton, the men's team pursuit coach, admitted he would welcome the pair putting their names forward for selection, but warned that they would only be considered if the track was their sole focus.
"We would like to break the world record," he said. "That is the benchmark and what we are aiming at. But it takes a huge commitment for an athlete to do that. They can't just walk in from the Tour de France and say, 'Oh, by the way, I want to be a team pursuit rider now'. It doesn't work like that any more.
"The event has moved on and for an athlete to commit that much time will impinge on their road career, so that is the athlete's choice."
Asked the period of time Wiggins and Cavendish would have to take out of their road careers, Newton responded: "I think two years. It's a huge commitment. I don't know whether a road career will allow that."
Newton's stance will also apply to Geraint Thomas and Peter Kennaugh, who won team pursuit gold in London alongside Ed Clancy and Steven Burke, and Ben Swift.
All three riders were part of the endurance programme leading into last summer's Olympics but have since switched their sole focus to careers on the road with Team Sky.
Like Wiggins and Cavendish, Newton would be happy to consider them for selection, but with a fresh crop of young team pursuit riders coming through, he cannot guarantee they would still make the final four.
He added: "I have got a really good group of athletes to work with and some of these aren't at that level of Brad and Geraint and Pete, but they will soon get there and they will soon surpass that, so that's the point where those athletes [the senior road riders] need to say either 'Yeah, we want to be part of it again', or 'No', let it go and focus on their road career."
Clancy, a two-time Olympic team pursuit champion, would also welcome Wiggins and Cavendish into the fold, and revealed the latter was thrilled by the prospect after London 2012.
"Immediately after London, Cav was very excited," Clancy said. "He was all over it. He was super-excited about riding the team pursuit.
"I would love Cav and Brad to come back for one last hurrah, but I don't know whether it will happen. Those boys have got so much going on on the road for them. I don't know if it would be hard for those guys to justify it to their sponsors.
"I can only say it would be fantastic if they did want to come back and give it a crack."

TN Visa Status & Foreign Residence
The Temporary Entry Requirements for TN Visa Status Do Not Require Maintenance of a Foreign Residence Abroad.
Under INA § 214(e) a Canadian citizen's admission to the U.S. under TN status is limited to a "temporary entry." A temporary entry is defined as "entry without the intent to establish permanent residence." 8 C.F.R. 214.6 (b). The TN regulations further provide that:
The alien must satisfy the inspecting immigration officer that the proposed stay is temporary. A temporary period has a reasonable, finite end that does not equate to permanent residence. In order to establish that the alien's entry will be temporary, the alien must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the inspecting immigration officer that his or her work assignment in the United States will end at a predictable time and that he or she will depart upon completion of the assignment. 8 C.F.R. 214.6(b).
The Foreign Affairs Manual adds that an application should reasonably indicate that the applicant's temporary work assignment in the U.S. will end predictably and that the applicant will depart upon completion of the assignment. 9 FAM § 41.59 N5.
Most nonimmigrant categories impose an immigrant intent requirement and require that a nonimmigrant maintain a residence abroad. 9 FAM 41.11 N2.1. Other categories, such as the E visa, have a much lesser standard. Id. Although a TN applicant may not enter the U.S. for purposes of establishing permanent residence, an applicant for a TN is not required to possess a residence abroad. Only the following nonimmigrant categories are subject to the residence abroad requirement: B, F, H (except H-1), J, M, O-2, P and Q. See 9 FAM 41.11 N2.2-1 and 9 FAM 41.31 N2.1. The TN nonimmigrant category therefore falls under the lesser standard of immigrant intent.
Applicants for a TN therefore do not need to maintain the significant ties abroad such as "ties of property, employment, family obligation, and continuity of life" required under the heightened immigrant intent standards as those applicable to the B-1/B-1 visitor category. See 9 FAM 41.61 N5.2.

Over 19 bike-SBY supporters gathered in a somewhat stuffy room on the 3rd floor of Salisbury's Government Office Building last evening to show their support for bike lanes in Salisbury. Many wore orange to symbolize the color designated on our map for the first bike route segment connecting downtown, PRMC, and SU. Tom Horton, Matt Drew, Joe Howard, Dave Schaulk, and Michelle Ennis each patiently waited their turn, then took to the podium to address the City Council members and tell them, from a personal and community viewpoint, why bike lanes were important for Salisbury.
The result was impressive! The Council voted unanmiously 4-0 in favor of making provisions to permit and fund bike lanes on Batemen Street in Salisbury.
This achievement marks a very important first step for our community. The process of gaining approval for this improvment could have stopped many times, but the constant attention and show of support from both our cycling community and Salisbury University made this possible.
It also should be noted that the improvements at Batemen began through a petition drive spearheaded by SU Senior Kevin Rowe, student of Tom Horton. Kevin: your perserverance has paid off!
Our next step for Batemen will be to continue to work with the City's Public Works staff to make sure that the final design for the bike lanes at Batemen achieves the best possible arrangement for cyclists and pedestrians alike.
Stay tuned!!

So you have done all of the heavy weight lifting and feel lighter and better. But are you more comfortable in your own skin now than you were 100 lbs ago? Something is still dragging amidst your weight loss bragging. In this new fast moving world, you need to be more aerodynamic. You need a sleeker more stream-lined body. All of the excess surface has to go, whether it's on your chest, around your trunk, at your butts, or your arms and thighs. A number of plastic surgery procedures are designed to address these non-conforming areas and get you into form. Breast lift with or without implantation can take care of excess skin on the chest, tummy tuck and belt-excision the trunk, buttock lift the rear, arm and thigh lifts the extremities. You may have excess at some unconventional areas, and we at Plastic Surgery Institute & Spa can apply plastic surgery principles to customize procedures to fit your situation.
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
An arm lift, or otherwise known as brachioplasty, can remove the excess skin and fat deposits from your arms, leaving the upper arms with a more pleasing and youthful contour.
Medial Thigh Lift
The medial thigh lift will lift and tighten the sagging skin of the inner thigh. Incisions are usually placed in the groin.
A panniculectomy is performed to remove the hanging pannus, or apron of skin, from the lower abdomen below the belly button. The excess skin and fat above the belly button are not removed. A panniculectomy is often performed on patients who are still significantly overweight but have skin irritation from their hanging skin. After surgery, these patients have less skin problems but have little improvement in the contour of their bellies.
Lower Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy)
In one procedure, the sagging skin of the abdomen, outer thighs, buttocks, hips, and waist is corrected. Incisions extend completely around the body to remove a "belt" of excess skin and fat. Another common name for this procedure is a "belt lipectomy."
Our plastic surgery clinic is located in Panama City and Destin, on Northwest Florida's Emerald Coast.

So, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is instituting new screening procedures for the flying public. One method involves a sort of X-ray that is apparently pretty revealing.

Count me as a conservative pleased at the results of the recent election, but fully expecting to be disappointed by my own Republican Party.
How many struggles between Republicans and Democrats will be over foundation issues that really matter? Who will take up the cause of regaining control over a bloated and arrogant federal government that uses the fig leaf of the Commerce Clause to justify reaching into every crevice of our lives? Who will champion returning the federal government to the constraints of its enumerated powers in the constitution? Probably nobody. Read More»

Georgia's Governor-elect Nathan Deal has earned his stripes as a tough-as-nails prosecutor who rightly noted on the campaign trail that he put many rapists in prison where they belong. At the same time, prosecutors in Georgia and around the nation also see up close the many low-level, nonviolent offenders who cycle through the system. Read More»
For generations, parents have told their children about "The American dream." Basically it has meant building a life based on the foundational principles that created and have sustained America for more than 200 years. By doing so, one might reasonably expect a new generation to achieve a better life than their parents and grandparents experienced.
But what defines "better"? In modern times it has been defined as achieving greater prosperity and consuming more material goods. Read More»
Is Barack Obama a socialist? A Muslim? Anti-American? Pro-Palestinian? Or just a man who is right sometimes and wrong most of the time? Bill O'Reilly opts for the second option in his new book, "Pinheads and Patriots."
Bill rigorously focuses on what President Obama does, not on who he is. He refuses to speculate about motivation, preferring instead the more solid ground of observing and frequently condemning his policies. The whole is never larger than the sum of its parts in O'Reilly's book. In fact, they're not really added up at all. Read More»
Who said Georgia's policy-makers aren't into railroads? Not those who watched in September as two transportation agencies railroaded passage of a 10-year extension of the 50 cents toll on Georgia 400. The surprise move seriously diminished the lure of toll roads for metro Atlanta. Commuters, taxpayers and policy-makers must hope, however, that the bad taste will recede: The concept has to survive.
Tolls are not just a source of funding as the impact of the gas tax shrinks. They are also a tool for congestion mitigation. Read More»
The Republican Party, with the help of the Tea Party, swept the House of Representatives with a massive pickup of at least 60 seats. The Federal Reserve made another historic announcement with its $600-billion "Quantitative Easing" program (QE2). The October non-farm payroll number came in at a positive 151,000, and the unemployment number remained elevated at 9.6 percent for the month.
All of this transpired in the course of one week. So, what's next? Hold on to your seats. Consider the following: Read More»
Daddy always believed that the good Lord should be thanked for the hard times as much as He was praised for the good times.

WEST POINT — The dateline is misleading. West Point is about seven or eight miles from The Crossroads Store, an antiques enclave that pretty much straddles the Harris and Troup County lines.
A flyer notes that "The old rock store at Jones Crossroads has been at the center of rural commerce in this area since 1903." It is located at the intersection of Ga. highways 18 and 219. I came this way taking a shortcut from I-185, near Pine Mountain, to LaGrange. When I spied two oldtimers sitting in the afternoon sun on the front porch of the old store, I knew I had to take a closer look. Read More»

Commissioners consider radio issues; Dodson still knows 'very little'
ELLIS COUNTY - During the Monday, Nov.8 regularly-scheduled meeting of the commissioners' court, Constable Terry Nay updated the court on issues surrounding Federal Communications Commission requirements to reduce all radio communications to narrow band in January of 2013.
At issue, whether to contract with TROTT Communications Group for independent engineering services or allow time for Aerowave to complete some preliminary testing first.
"I might suggest, if we can buy a week and schedule a special session to make this decision, it makes more sense instead of spending the $49,000 on a theory, spend it on something that has been tested in the field," said Nay.
"Will it work? I don't know."
"We've sat in a lot of long meetings," said Commissioner Bill Dodson, pct. 2, who has been among those working on radio interoperability for some time.
"What I know is that I still know very little."
The difficulty of the decision is compounded by the need for grant funding and a tight deadline under which to apply for it.
"By the 29th of this month, I've got to have a final cost," said Emergency Management Coordinator John Patterson, adding a broad estimate would cost about $500,000 to meet the narrow banding requirements.
County Judge Carol Bush noted that a special meeting of the court has already been scheduled for Monday, Nov. 15 for the purpose of canvassing the vote from the Tuesday, Nov. 2 General Election and suggested adding the item to that agenda, taking no action on it today.
Nay said some testing was already underway through Aerowave and so far looked favorable.
"This is a very technical issue and it will affect us for a great many years," he concluded.
Nay also updated the court on a potential interlocal agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to prohibit the registration of motor vehicles owned by individuals that owe the county money for a fine, fee, or tax that is past due.
"This is just informative today, to let you know which direction we are looking at heading," said Nay, adding he had discussed the program with County Tax Assessor/Collector John Bridges.
"What it does is blocks their auto registration. It is something that is outwardly visible; you know you can get pulled over for it."
Commissioners asked to hear reports on the effectiveness of the program in neighboring counties as a method to encourage payment of overdue fines, fees and taxes.
The court also took some early steps toward the construction of juvenile detention and Ellis County Sheriff's Office facilities on the property known as the County Farm, awarding the bid for construction to Corbet Construction, the bid for excavation and paving to J & K Excavation and the bid for professional engineering services for geotech and material testing to Terracon Consultants.
"This facility will take us long into the future," said County Engineer Joe White.
"If we need a small building, we will not have to worry about it for many years. It's like building a subdivision without the houses – it's a planned community."
"It's a pretty area, and the way it is designed architecturally, it will be a nice improvement," said Bush.
Corbet Construction recently finished work on the county's new Adult Probation Offices as well as the refurbished train depot project for the City of Waxahachie.
The court also heard a presentation from Casey Ballard with United Way of West Ellis County.
"You already do a United Way campaign, and we receive a check monthly, but we would like to talk about growing the campaign a little bit," said Ballard.
"It can be simple: just an opportunity to talk to the employees so they can understand how important this is. If an employee gives only six dollars a month, they can feed one person a day through Meals on Wheels."
Ballard said the members of the United Way board met with approximately 30 non-profit organizations last week, hearing pleas for funding amounting to more than $500,000 for the upcoming year.
"We would love to be able to give that out, but we are not going to be able to do so until we involve everyone," she said, adding the group funds non-profits as large as Meals on Wheels or as small as The Light of Gabriel Foundation.
Ballard confirmed that dollars raised in Ellis County are spent in Ellis County, at the full discretion of the Ellis County boards of directors, either the West Ellis County or Greater Ennis groups.
"We want to be sure that we are talking about the entire county as we talking about United Way," she said.
"As we are giving Ellis County employees the opportunity to participate in a campaign, they can choose United Way of West Ellis County or Greater Ennis United Way."

CORPUS CHRISTI - Heavy construction could be coming soon to a busy road on the city's south side. First, officials want to know how the public feels about giving Corona Drive a facelift. Some folks, like business owner, Roy Pell, who uses that stretch of street regularly, says the idea is bittersweet.
"It's a rough ride, again a lot of the driveways there's a significant dip to get in and out of the driveways on the street," Pell said.
No wonder Pell has mixed feelings about a possible Corona Drive roadwork. His company, Southside Automotive and Marine has operated on Corona for 35 years. He's apprehensive that construction on the road could bring his business to a halt.
"As most other businesses in this community that have been affected by street improvements is the amount of time that it takes," he said.
The city's planned improvements include new paving, curbs and gutters and work on the storm drains.
"If they come in here and do storm water improvements it'll jack this street up for a year or more and I can't afford to basically be out of business for a year," Pell added.
The proposed plans are in the very early stages, so there is no set timeline for construction. Plus, Pell admits the chewed up street could use some TLC. As part of the plans, the city wants to repair wheelchair ramps for the sidewalks as well, which people like Abl Alonzo use frequently.
"Some sidewalks in some parts are fixed, others are not and when they're not we're forced into the street, anytime we're forced into the street," Alonzo said.
He added that, it can be difficult and dangerous as a pedestrian to navigate the street. While problem areas have been patched in the past, it may take more than a band aid to heal that one.

|CheapTickets.com shows steady growth
Cheap Tickets, now known as a dot com travel site, was incorporated in 1986 in Honolulu. This company was birthed from the idea of an ad agency who received tickets from an airline in exchange for ad space. When the ad agency put up the tickets for sale at a local newspaper citing cheap tickets for sale, they received good response and later asked the airline for more discounted tickets. This marked the birth of Cheap Tickets as a company. Today, this organization has grown to become part of the Cendant's Travel Distribution Services Division.
Since that time, this dynamic company has utilized various marketing channels and strategies. They started off by distributing cheap ticket coupons through kiosks but later due to the increase in ticket sales, they launched a call center just to sell tickets over the phone. This first call center was opened in 1987, a time when airline travel was becoming more popular.
With the emergence of the Internet, this company was quick to foresee the benefits of expanding its business online and therefore was one of the first travel companies to have an online presence. Cheaptickets.com was launched in 1997 and provided an opportunity for travelers to be the first to purchase cheap tickets over the internet.
Venturing into e-business as a dot com company had proven to boost the growth of cheap tickets.com and even spearheaded them to go for Initial Public Offering in 1999, just within two years after cheaptickets.com was launched. This was a huge success which made this successful organization grow into an even larger firm, and also to expand its product line to hotel bookings, car rental bookings, cruises as well as last minute deals. They aimed to provide a one-stop solution to the vacationer, where almost all travel bookings could be made from one location.
In 2000, Cheap Tickets was acquired by Cendant Corporation, a company with diverse businesses across the travel industry as well as in distribution businesses. With this acquisition, they became part of a giant organization that consisted of 5000 employees in 116 countries. In fact, this conglomerate also owned other online travel intermediary companies such as RatesToGo.com and HotelClub.com. All in all, Cendant Corporation had business dealings with more than 60000 hotels as well as 44000 travel agencies.
The underlying factor contributing to Cheap Ticket's steady growth would most likely be its forward looking attitude, its strong marketing strategies and its ability to capitalize on opportunities. From just a little kiosk selling cheap ticket coupons from airline companies such as Delta Airlines, British Airways or United Airlines, it has grown to a multimillion dollar public listed company. Throughout the years, they have enjoyed tremendous growth rates riding on the dot com boom, which had been instrumental in bringing the company public just within a period of two years. However, its strong offline presence prior to a focus on an e-business model may probably be the reason why this dynamic company is still steady and strong even till today.

Fire's midfielders fostering a feeling of control in early season
BY SETH GRUEN For Sun-Times Media March 30, 2012 11:53PM
Logan Pause (left) is out four to six weeks with broken ribs he suffered in the Fire's 3-1 victory against the Union on Aug. 12. | Graham Hughes~AP
Updated: May 1, 2012 8:34AM
The midfielders are the glue of the Fire, the most important aspect of coach Frank Klopas' attack-first style of play.
The numerous scoring chances they've been able to create have given the Fire (1-0-1) confidence offensively entering Sunday's game in Commerce City, Colo., against the Colorado Rapids.
''When we're organized and compact without the ball, then I think we have a chance to be very good in the counterattack and a very good team in terms of keeping the ball,'' Klopas said. ''And I think we need to do a better job in the final third, when teams drop off, as far as being better with the ball and being more patient.''
The counterattack hinges on midfielders and strikers working in unison. The midfield quartet of Sebastian Grazzini, Pavel Pardo, Marco Pappa and Logan Pause has quickly worked the ball to speedsters Dominic Oduro and Patrick Nyarko, who both have started at forward through the first two games of the season.
That couldn't be accomplished without space to work, which the Fire has enjoyed to an overwhelming degree in the first two games. The first two opponents, the Montreal Impact and the Philadelphia Union, often dropped defenders into the box to counteract the Fire's speed up front, which gave the midfield the room to place more precise balls.
''How we kind of set up tactically, playing this tight diamond in the middle, we try to find those pockets,'' Pause, the Fire captain, said. ''But for sure, having the speed we have up top, that stretches out teams and allows for much more stable space.''
Pause, on the outside, has a much different role than most of the other midfielders on the roster. The Fire likes to use center back Cory Gibbs in set piece situations for his height and ability to redirect balls in the air. That tasks Pause with dropping back into the defense in those situations — one of two players charged with stopping the counterattack because the Fire sends eight forward in those situations.
Though overlooked in last Saturday's 1-0 win over the Union at Toyota Park, Pause may have made the game-defining play in the 61st minute. After a Fire free kick was a sent into the box, the Union played a long ball back into its offensive third. Pause judiciously went after the ball and headed it back into midfield, eliminating one of the Union's best scoring opportunities of the night.
''I'm not just back there for any old reason, and they definitely talk about making sure we stop the play,'' Pause said. ''Sometimes, in that instance, I had to make a play to clear the ball.''

Description: The Core Module (Day 1) will provide a solid introduction to the new debt sustainability framework for low-income countries (LICs) and its implications for the terms of lending under IDA-14. Participants will learn how to conduct a debt sustainability analysis under this framework which has been prepared jointly by the Bank and IMF, and will be used for operational purposes going forward. Country case studies will be used to provide practical learning. The Hands-on Module (Day 2) will provide participants training on how to conduct debt sustainability analysis using debt sustainability templates under the new framework. Participants will gain a better understanding of how factors such as exogenous shocks, growth forecasts and debt burdens will impact new lending to countries. Country-specific case studies will be used as examples and participants will work on the computer using Excel-based templates.

news: transfers
Chelsea 8.10.14
Cech open to Chelsea exit
Petr Cech has indicated that he will leave Chelsea if he remains the club's second-choice goalkeeper. The 32-year-old has featured only twice this season, with Jose Mourinho preferring Thibaut Courtois in both the Premier League and Champions League. "I have not spoken to anyone, but I think they know me well enough at the club to know that the situation is definitely not the way I would imagine," said Cech. "With the Euros and the national team in mind, there is no time for me to sit on the bench and not to play. If the situation will not start to improve for me, then I will want to solve it."
Everton 2.9.14
Everton complete loan deal for Henen
Everton made a last-minute addition on transfer deadline day with the loan signing of Belgian teenager David Henen. The the 18-year-old forward had been training with the Toffees until recently but his parent club Anderlecht decided to sell him to Greek side Olympiakos on Monday.
However, Everton struck a deal to bring the youth international back to England for a season-long loan, although the paperwork was not completed until very late in the day. The club have confirmed the deal has now been ratified by the Premier League and Henen will link up with Everton's Under-21 side.
Arsenal 2.9.14
Welbeck signs for Arsenal
Arsenal have completed a deadline-beating 20m permanent move for Danny Welbeck. The deal took some time to complete with the transfer announced almost two hours after the deadline had passed. Arsenal originally wanted a loan deal but made progress late on Monday night after offering to buy the player. Tottenham and Sunderland also made moves for Welbeck, but the England international preferred a move to the Emirates.
Man. Utd. 2.9.14
United seal late Falcao swoop
Manchester United had to work late into the night to finalise the signing of Monaco striker Radamel Falcao but eventually completed a season-long loan for the Colombian. Despite details of the move emerging early in the day, United had to have an extension past the 11pm deadline to ensure the necessary documents were correctly filed with the Premier League. United will pay Monaco between 6.3m and 7.5m for Falcao and will cover his wages.
Southam. 1.9.14
Sadio Mane signs for Southampton
Saints have signed Senegal international winger Sadio Mane in a deal worth 12.5m. The 22-year-old has agreed a four-year contract with the club, joining from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg. Mane had emerged as Saints' number-one wing target approaching deadline day, and the board have been able to wrap up the deal just in time.
Mane began his career with French side Metz, coming through the academy system. He made his first-team debut in the 2011/12 season and, after two impressive campaigns, he was signed by Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg. Mane has made 88 appearances for the team, with an outstanding return of 46 goals.
QPR resign Niko Kranjcar
Niko Kranjcar has returned to Queens Park Rangers on loan. Hot off the heels of confirming the signing of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Sandro, Rangers have confirmed the loan capture of the experienced Croatian international. The creative midfielder made 31 appearances for Rangers last term, culminating in Kranjcar leaving Wembley with an injury, as QPR secured their Premier League status. He pens another season long loan deal from Dinamo Kyiv.
Arsenal 1.9.14
Arsenal granted extension in bid to sign Welbeck
Arsenal have received permission from the Premier League for a transfer deadline day extension as they attempt to seal a move for Manchester United's Danny Welbeck. The Gunners have been trying to thrash out the deal over the course of this evening, having agreed a 20m fee with United. But with the 11pm cut-off having been and gone, Arsenal are still trying to get the transfer over the line and have now been granted an extension by the authorities, giving them an extra couple of hours to submit the relevant papers.
West Ham 1.9.14
West Ham snap up Amalfitano
Midfielder Morgan Amalfitano has become the ninth summer signing for West Ham, his former club Marseille have announced. The 29-year-old, who has received one France cap, spent last season on loan at West Ham's Premier League rivals West Brom, scoring four goals.
QPR complete Sandro signing
QPR have announced signing of midfielder Sandro from Tottenham on three-year deal for undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of 12.5m. With other deadline day deals for Lassana Diarra and Fabio Borini falling by the wayside, Sandro becomes QPR's ninth summer signing as Redknapp looks to build a side capable of achieving Premier League survival. The 25-year-old worked with Harry Redknapp at White Hart Lane and has now been reunited with his former boss. Sandro has been capped 17 times by Brazil and Redknapp is delighted to have the player amongst the ranks at Loftus Road.
Stoke City 1.9.14
Assaidi joins Stoke City on loan
Liverpool have confirmed Oussama Assaidi has joined Stoke City on a season-long loan deal. The winger will spend the 2014-15 campaign at the Britannia Stadium, re-joining the Potters after a similar spell there last term during which he made 19 league appearances and netted four goals. Assaidi moved to Anfield from Heerenveen in August 2012 and has clocked up a total of 12 run outs for the Reds.
Palace 1.9.14
Fryers heads to Palace
Crystal Palace have announced the signing of Tottenham defender Zeki Fryers on a three-year-deal for a reported fee of 3.8m. The 21-year-old product of the Manchester United youth academy has moved to Selhurst Park to become the Eagles' first signing of transfer deadline day, with the club also believed to be close to a move for Wigan's James McArthur.
Fryers made only two Premier League appearances during his spell at Old Trafford before moving to play in Belgium with Standard Liege. The Under-19 international returned to England when he signed for Spurs in 2013 but could not establish himself at White Hart Lane.
Sunderl. 1.9.14
Sunderland confirm arrival of Ricky Alvarez
Sunderland have confirmed the arrival of Inter Milan's midfielder Ricky Alvarez. The 26-year-old Argentina international has joined the Black Cats on a season-long loan deal, becoming Gus Poyet's ninth summer signing.
