MLS Regular Season
Late collapse erases few positives for HOU
The tale of two halves has become a recurring nightmare for the Houston Dynamo.
Houston continued its recent trend of one good and one bad half when it conceded three second-half goals en route to dropping a wild match, 4-3, at Kansas City on Wednesday night.
Dynamo 3, KC Wizards 4 - postgame notes
Houston Dynamo dropped their fourth consecutive game on Wednesday and lost a
game in stoppage time for the fourth time this year, allowing a 96th-minute
goal to the Kansas City Wizards in a wild 4-3 road loss.
Dynamo surrender 3-1 lead, lose again
Drama and goals flowed freely at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on Wednesday night, as the Kansas City Wizards rallied to defeat the Houston Dynamo 4-3 on a last-second goal.
Ching expected as reserve vs. Kansas City
HOUSTON – Despite hopes for a playoff dwindling to a new low last weekend, Houston Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear is not about to empty his bench for players who have not deserved the opportunity.
The Dynamo face Kansas City on Wednesday night at CommunityAmerica Ballpark before facing D.C. United on Saturday at RFK Stadium.
"You just don't get to play because we are looking ahead, you have to earn the right to play no matter what sport or what career you are in," Kinnear said. "So it's not like we are going to give these guys time, you have to earn that."
Dynamo Daily - September 22, 2010
The Dynamo will look to rebound from Saturday night's loss when they take on the Kansas City Wizards tonight at 7:30 p.m. Although Houston is a longshot to make the playoffs, head coach Dominic Kinnear and the players say the team will keep their heads up and still play for pride.

Academy College Report - Sept. 20
The men's college soccer season continued last weekend, highlighted by junior Alex Dixon and top-5-ranked North Carolina edging Duke on national TV on Friday night. This week, sophomore Matt Boullt and Tulsa, which is ranked as high as No. 2 in the country, face No. 1 Akron on Friday night on Fox Soccer Channel at 7 p.m. CT.
2010 season
marks the first group of college seniors who spent time in the Dynamo
Academy, so college soccer is especially worth watching to see which
players might be drafted or even signed prior to the draft in the
2010-11 offseason.
Kinnear: "The season's over" for Houston
After the Dynamo's 2-1 home loss to Toronto FC on Saturday night, head coach Dominic Kinnear spoke as frankly as he could about his team's 2010 season.
"The season's over," Kinnear said. "The way we're playing, we are not going to do it. It's sad to say it, but it is a reality."
Houston failed to hold on to a halftime lead for the first time all season. Two second-half Dwayne De Rosario goals all but completely distinguished any hope of the Dynamo making the playoffs.
Dynamo 1, Toronto FC 2 -- postgame notes
The Houston Dynamo lost their third straight match on Saturday, falling 2-1 to Toronto FC at home on a stoppage-time free kick from former Houston midfielder and current TFC star Dwayne De Rosario.
The Dynamo opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Brad Davis served in a left-footed delivery from a free kick, and Houston captain Brian Ching redirected the ball inside the left post with a header. It was Ching's team-high seventh goal of the season and the team-high seventh assist of the season for Davis, tied for seventh in MLS.

I purchased these rotors because of the reports from other auto parts deals and said to myself that i had to try them when i was in need of rotors. And so i did and i am very pleased with the quietness as well as the stopping power and have already purchased more of them for my other car.

Pablo and Paul did the Pinewood Derby race last night at Boy Scouts. They worked on Pablo's car over the weekend and it came out so cute. Pablo worked hard sanding and painting the car.
He wanted something special for his car, but we couldn't find the right thing. We tried adding Lego guys, but Pablo wasn't feeling it. Then I found some Angry Birds pencil toppers, and those turned out to be perfect. Paul added some dowel pegs for them to rest on, and I think they look bad ass!
Paul said Pablo's car was pretty popular. It sure is cute. Pablo didn't do too spectacular in the race, but he REALLY enjoyed blowing his whistle to signal the start of each heat. He's been talking about it all day. Cuteness!

During his first marriage, Chad Ross had two children - a boy and a girl - and thought his family was complete. He had a vasectomy. His new wife, Amanda, had no children and loved Chad's kids as if they were her own.
Men in the United Kingdom can now turn to their local pharmacy to test their sperm count. Boots UK, a pharmacy chain numbering almost 2,500 retail outlets, just started carrying a do-it-yourself sperm count test - the Spermcheck Male Fertility Test - that retails for £29. 99 (US $48).
While there are plenty of people in the world who genuinely do not want children when they are young and won't want children at any point in their lives, there are plenty more who think they don't want children when they are young and then end up wanting them when they get older. Surgical sterilization seems like such a drastic step, is it really an appropriate choice for men in their twenties?
A new report published in the journal Nature Review Urology, emphasizes the importance of and changes in the field of vasectomy reversal as a means of improving male fertility.
A vasectomy is a medical procedure that helps reduce the risk of pregnancy to nearly 0%. The procedure is completed on men who don't want to have children or who've already had children and don't want to risk having more. There are times, however, when the decision is questioned later in life leaving men with questions about vasectomy reversal. Can a vasectomy be reversed to restore male fertility?
Women are postponing pregnancy and having fewer children because of the recession, but just when they need birth control most, many can't pay for it, a new survey finds.
A vasectomy is a surgical procedure on a man that makes him sterile, or unable to get a woman pregnant. It is generally considered to be at least as effective as female sterilization and is simpler to perform, safer, and less costly.
Vasectomies are very effective. It has been estimated that only about 15 out of 10,000 couples get pregnant during the first year after a vasectomy. Although rare, pregnancy is possible even years after the procedure.
Contraception is the barrier used to prevent pregnancy. When choosing to be sexually active without the conception of a child, contraception is often used. There are several forms of contraception including physical barriers, monthly supplements, surgical contraception, implanted devices and foams or creams.
The possibility of getting pregnant after a vasectomy, without surgery to reverse the vasectomy, is very rare. A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure done to make the man sterile by severing the line that produces sperm.
Q: How can we get pregnant after a vasectomy?

Losing my BreathIt's 2amand the calling birds are hatching in my heart, I feel it crack and they emerge. Feel them drilling on my ribs, the steady anxious thrum of a flight risk waiting to happen.It's 3am and I can't breathe, memories of you are nesting in my throat and now I can't work around them. It's cutting off the circulation, and my frantic heart tries to keep on.It's 5am and tears scratch their directions into my cheeks, they flounder and meanderand they erode.

The Man and the MoonHer mouth corners hung themselvesand I began to wonder if that was the death of them.A simple, quiet death;without broken fingernails lining the wallswith the stripes of a despairing end.I began to ache with the questioning in my heartwith the echoes reverberating in my capillariesof her face scorching sunshine in her smileright before it crumpledand nothing was left but a frowning moonset firm in its resignation to an upcoming eclipse.
The WallI punched the wall.The paper broke, a split lipped frown.That was the thin veneer of joy you painted over my cracks with.I punched the wall.The paper bloomed into a paprika tulip.That was the rusting screw in your jaw swinging off its hinge with your lies.I punched the wall.The paint broke into a smileand I chipped out its teeth. They were the over polished hopes of our future.I punched the wall.The plaster spluttered out a storm.Smooth and sleepy; I scratched at its eyes for promising to look out for me.I punched the wall.The plaster coughed hard again.My anger was a consumption and its tendrils spasmed out from the source.I punched the wall.The plaster caved into a hole,reminding me of all I'd given you and would never get back.I didn't punch the wallWhen the dust settled and its small red brick heart lay exposed, vulnerable, afraid,I couldn't.You punched the wall.
Beneath the RoseI can't burn the street down, the tar will fill our lungs,I can't fix the bridges, or the bolts bedded in our tongues.I can't explain the constant, buried deep beneath the rose,with all the other things I broke; death and all erodes.
GrowthI remember the day I caught him 'gardening'. His cheeks stained cherry with the brisk wind that trotted beside him up and down the smothered garden path. He dropped a seed as his feet brushed past each other. Up and down he walked, a solemn lieutenant. I asked him what he was doing and those wide sky eyes reflected the ice as he told me he was trying to grow flowers for his mother. I looked at the seeds spilt on the snow and told him that they could never grow in these circumstances. I will never forget the clench in my heart when he responded, with a child's tongue; "I know".
BuriedUnder the paprika house,are the bones of my fatherand nestled between riband reason, is our love.
WhoreI thread a vein out through a scalpel notch;and use it as a ribbon to present my heart to you.I cough a little spare blood. I didn't need it.I lick the copper from my silenced subterfuge mouthand it reminds me of the prostitution of my soulas I pour myself over other men's empty handsin the dying hope that someone might hold on.I smear my wrist against a digital canvas and cry;I give it all to you freely, and nothing in return.You smile. I break. You hear but you don't listen;you just throw another single penny for my thoughts.

She lay still and tried not to breathe, to burn, to break.

You should add a piece to your gallery wall that reflects something personal, like a favorite city to visit or the city you live in. This San Francisco print is a great idea.

I selected this piece because, well, it's just simply adorable!

Dear Little SparrowDear Little Sparrow,Your wings were clippedIn a fit of a feverish rage,Fists clenched with whitened knuckles,I can see you in my memory.Your song was sungBut never heardAnd you cried out,"What is this life I have to live?"With false smilesAnd a monstersBrooding in your ribsYou saw no hopeEven on a distant horizonWith a chaotic existence,Of cages and of spiteAnd of thingsOut of your understanding,I promiseyou are not crazy.It gets better,My sweet little birdyour wings will growAnd you will fly.

The ceramic tub was deep and the sides were lined with vanilla candles, their little lights being the main source of warmth in the room. The only other subtle glow was the tip of Mama's cigarette, the embers burning with a swirl of smoke.Mama's brunette tresses spilled over her shoulders, plastered to her skin. I could recall with fine detail each freckle that spotted her wide face, little constellations on her pale flesh. Her round lips parted for another breath of the cigarette's smoke, the water lapped against her bare legs as she moved one to cross over the other. Her back straightened and she sat up, staring straight ahead at me with a sad smile. I didn't want to tell her that the cold water was uncomfortable, but I don't think I knew better at the time anyway.Our little bathroom had peeling baby blue wallpaper and pastel pink floor tiles, a gaud

Warnock: Davis must learn
15 Jan 2007 - 10:20:00
Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock hit out at defender Claude Davis after his error led to Portsmouth's equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Bramall Lane.
Davis failed to deal with a ball into the box with just nine minutes to play and the ensuing mix-up with goalkeeper Paul Gerrard allowed Gary O'Neill to pounce and pull Pompey level.
Warnock told the Yorkshire Post: "You've got to hope he learns from it and hopefully he does.
"He wants to be the ideal centre-half, but if that's the case then he has to learn some of the bread and butter parts of defending first.
"His Beckenbauer act got us into a bit of trouble and one mistake has cost us dearly. He is disappointed, but not half as disappointed as I am.
"Claude should make up Paul's mind for him, because he is able to whack it wherever he wants.
"But you saw what happened and we got punished for it and in conceding a goal like that the result feels more like a defeat.
"I just wish that it had been Chris Lucketti on the ball for the goal. I know where it would have ended up, Row Z."

Featured Freeware: Trillian
A professional, sharp design goes a long way with Trillian, the most polished of the multi-protocol chat clients. The basic version support five of the major protocols, but not Google Talk.
Cerulean Studios' Trillian has long been one of the top multiprotocol IM clients. The program offers simultaneous access to the fab-five chat clients: Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, ICQ, IRC, and AIM, but still doesn't support Jabber/Google Talk in the basic version. For that, users will have to upgrade to Trillian Pro.
Despite lacking this major chat protocol, Trillian's interface is slick and sharp, a professional design that's way ahead of its competitors. Users can import passwords, buddy lists, and client preferences, as well as transfer files and encrypt chats. SMS text messaging and audio chat are supported in the basic version, with video support restricted to the pro edition. Trillian's skin support has improved in more recent versions, as has AIM stability. So if you need help managing your schizophrenic chatting identity, don't go all Sybil on your friends--just get Trillian.


text: Hi, as I announced in an earlier message <URL:http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-chat/2004-October/025313.html>, RMS is going to talk about "The Danger of Software Patents" at the University of Ulm today, in a few hours. According to some reports, there seem to be problems with our planned video livestream for Linux users. MacOS and Windows clients do not seem to be affected. If anybody has some spare minutes and wants to do me a favour, please go to <URL:http://ulm.ccc.de/chaos-seminar/rms/st-en.html>, check whether the streams work, and report the results. Especially important: * Operating system used (Linux, I assume :-)) ) * Client (xine, mplayer, vlc to name a few) and version of client * Does it work? Quality? Any problems? * Anything else? Many thanks in advance! Of course, you are invited to watch and listen to RMS via that stream, beginning at T19:00+0100 today (2004-11-04).

Short Term Disciple Trips
Every year CFC sends a number of short term trips to a variety of places around the world. We try to have trips for various ages, using various skills in various parts of the world. Our goal is to strengthen the ministries that exist in the countries we visit. We have prioritized and appreciate the value of long term relationships with the people and countries we visit.
Why do we organize these trips? They are simply one of the best catalysts for spiritual growth. There are very few ways to see the results that we have seen over the years in the lives of those who have been changed as a result of going on a Disciple Trip.

Salute all,
Ok this is a first for me but my usual carry is a SA1911 in 45acp but here there is shortage of 45acp in local area. For practice I have a small supply but have switched to my old standby my Tarus 357mag revolver which im comfortable with.
I have a few other calibers to choose from but all large. I was considering the purchase of something in 40cal, seems to be an abundance of that caliber ammo around. I'm also getting into reloading but a shortage of primers has me considering a new gun purchase which you don't have to twist my arm to do..lol
Has anyone else considered a gun purchase of late by ammo availability?

Message on international volunteer day - The Secretary-General
International Volunteer Day is a chance to thank the many individuals who act with this spirit of giving, and to encourage others to follow their example. When an earthquake destroys homes, volunteers prove that human solidarity is shatterproof. When looters aim for cultural property, volunteers safeguard community treasures. When development is lagging, volunteers help enable people to lift themselves out of poverty.

International hate conference losing pants down
The anti-gay, anti-abortion Christian hate group World Congress of Families (WCF) may have been booted out of a third Melbourne...
Snark aside, they're terrible people.
Successive Governments under Labor and Liberal have taught us that this just isn't the case, both major parties seem determined to make us live in some Ayn Rand lala-land where the rich get ahead, and the rest, well, don't.
There's something unsettling about people who like their democracy highly managed, exclusively parliamentary and dominated by the establishment. Though based on the reaction to last night's QandA protest, you'd think this is the way most Australians want their politic to operate.

text: CHARTER Admire The World's Greatest Designers Back to Top ▲ The World's Greatest Designers 8 Michael Graves Share on Facebook Share on Twitter 0 Shares Of all the big name architects, Graves is the one most obviously influenced by classical civilization. Pillars, columns and arches are at the center of many of his works. But what really differentiates him is his devotion to, and mastery of, strong color statements. He rarely uses the glass-and-steel palette, instead going for matt tans, terracottas and shades of off-white so even his epic buildings always seem less clinical and cynical than their neighborings. Completely without pretence, Graves is responsible for transporting the beauty of classical masonry into city centers all over the world.

Album Rating: 4.5A cool little album that I was way too slow to listen to. Would have been in my top 3 of 2013
Digging: Crooked Sun - Sick Songs
Excellent review my friend. Never heard of this band before but it definitely sounds interesting, will give it a shot if I get the chance soon. "Tracks like A Quiet Life and the album's title tracks has Bergeld delivering a tear jerking performances." I think you meant to say "title track" and "performance." That's all I noticed though, this is really well- written.

"For those of you looking for music that is unique, refined and elegant." Tidy it up a bit so it doesn't read awkwardly. Good review man, pos

Terming the elimination of Osama bin Laden as a confirmation that Pakistan remains the "epicentre of global terror", the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday said India must ensure that those responsible for the 26/11 terrorist attacks must be handed over to it.
While Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, in her tweet called bin Laden "humanity's enemy number one", BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said he (Laden) was the most visible and dangerous face of global jihadi terror.
"We demand that all the terrorists responsible for terror attacks from across the border must be handed over to India.
It is a litmus test for Pakistan. Government of India must acknowledge this fact in all future talks with Pakistan," Mr. Prasad said.
He said, "He was killed in Pakistan, almost in the backyard of its capital, Islamabad. This is the final confirmation of the hard fact that Pakistan remains the epicentre of global terror where terrorism and terrorists both are allowed to be encouraged and given shelter."
He further said that India is entitled to insist that perpetrators of 26/11 Mumbai attack must be handed over.
"We have been saying that Pakistan gives shelter to terrorists to attack India. Those who conspired in the Mumbai attack are still in safe sanctuaries...Pakistan government has stopped taking any action against them," said Mr. Prasad.

Fiscal Cliff: Private Bargaining, Public Wrangling
By DAVID ESPO and BEN FELLER
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ In a test of divided government, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner sought an elusive compromise Tuesday to prevent economy-damaging tax increases on the middle class at year's end, conferring by phone after a secretive exchange of proposals.
Details were sparse and evidence of significant progress scarcer still, although officials said the president had offered to reduce his initial demand for $1.6 trillion in higher tax revenue over a decade to $1.4 trillion.
There was no indication he was relenting on his insistence â¿¿ strongly opposed by most Republicans â¿¿ that tax rates rise at upper incomes.
Boehner sounded unimpressed in remarks on the House floor at midday. "The longer the White House slow-walks this process, the closer our economy gets to the fiscal cliff," he said, declaring that Obama had yet to identify specific cuts to government benefit programs that as part of an agreement that also would raise federal tax revenue. The Ohio Republican made his comments well before he and the president talked by phone about attempts to avert a "fiscal cliff," across-the-board tax increases and cuts in defense and domestic programs that economists say could send the economy into recession. In rebuttal, the White House swiftly detailed numerous proposals Obama has made to cut spending, including recommendations to cull $340 billion from Medicare over a decade and an additional $250 billion from other government benefit programs. The House Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, challenged Boehner to allow a vote on the president's proposal to extend most expiring tax cuts while letting them lapse at higher incomes. She predicted it would gain "overwhelming approval," even in the GOP-controlled House. Two weeks before the year-end holidays, time to find agreement was short, but not prohibitively so.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
