Better than average longevity on my skin with three sprays.
I'm very close to purchasing a FB of Lumière Noire.
My concern is its staying power. It seems to fade on me within a couple of hours.
Not sure if I'm just experiencing anosmia, or if I just haven't sprayed enough on - as I've been trying to make the samples last.
Thanks for any insights.
Better than average longevity on my skin with three sprays.
Lumiere Noire pour Homme has average projection and very good longevity.
Average on both counts; but I think it remains perceptible to others around (I'm finding this with all of my MFK bottles) just not the wearer so much.

Average projection, but longevity is truly excellent.

The star of the show opening notes of rose and patchouli with spice last for three to four hours on my skin then it morphs into a delightful white musk that lasts most of the day on me. As others have said the projection is average.
Lumiere Noire is quite a transparent scent. It is not a sillage monster but it is definitely noticeable, average I suppose. Longevity is great.
Average projection and above average longevity on my skin...
Thanks for all the comments; they are helpful.
What I'm finding is that the rose/mugwort accord, which is what I love about LN, doesn't last for more than 2 hours on me. I can smell the subtle, clean musky base for quite a long time.
Unfortunately, it's the rose/mugwort accord that I love, not the musk base. Which I find a little too subtle for me.
Perhaps MFK will do an Absolu version of LN - I think I'm going to wait.
As far as the others in the line go, I find the notes in Cologne Pour Le Soir to be both long lasting, and quite noticeable during its entire duration.

Slightly below average projection and longevity.
I've adapted to using this when I have short errands to run or brief outings.
I don't wear it to work as I'm there for 8 hours and it would frustrate me if I can no longer smell it after 3 hours.
Most of my perfumes project for a good 6 hours on average.
I had average projection and good longevity. I had to really press my nose into my arm in order to smell it after the three hour mark but others could still smell a scent trail. I think you may have to go light on this one because of the anosmia factor that I get with this one.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
Also, I would say after wearing this fragrance a few more times that projection is definitely above average on my skin too, received a lot of compliments already with only a few sprays...
Edit: More than 25 hours after application now and it's still there. This is just insane, never had this with any other fragrance...

I noticed something strange. It seems that the Lumiere Noire pour Homme from my full bottle projects a lot less than the one from my sample. I also noticed that on my sample, which is an original spray sample directly from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, it says 'Eau de Parfum'. That's pretty weird since this fragrance is an 'Eau de Toilette', which is also printed on the box and mentioned on the MFK website. But I really do notice a pretty big difference, could it possibly be that the fragrance was originally intended to be an EdP and was later changed to an EdT but samples were already produced with the EdP?
Seems far-fetched I know, but the juice from the sample is a projection monster on me and the juice from the bottle is much tamer. Not that I'm complaining, I think I prefer the 'tamer' version because the projection of the sample was sometimes a little too much for me. Also, I couldn't understand why people were talking about this fragrance in terms of 'airy', 'transparant', 'ethereal' while on me it was pretty thick and heavy. Now that I smell it from the bottle I kinda understand what they meant because it fits the description much better...
Like the majority of competent fragrances, it has all it needs.
It appears to have become the dominant concern, but it'll be a great day when people can discuss fragrances without using the term "projection and longevity".
Fragrance projection is a matter of personal style/preference; there is no right or wrong here. I enjoy subtle teasing whiffs of fragrance and gets self-conscious if my SotD projects too strongly, so 'projection' or lack thereof is seldom an issue. But I can appreciate it if someone prefers a stronger aura of fragrance. I'll just keep my distance, that's all.
I concur with Kevin's observations on LNPH and CPLS, the latter especially is a surprising beast with above average projection & longevity.
For me, LNPH has amazing projection and longevity. After buying the bottle, I have had to double check it several times to make sure its an EDT because it always surprises me just how strong it is. I've went through about 1/3 of the bottle and love it every time I wear it. It definitely last all day on me.... and strong at that.
By the way, my sample of APOM pour Homme also says 'Eau de parfum' while it's an Eau de Toilette so it could be just a printing 'error' and all samples say 'Eau de parfum'. But like I said my sample of LNpH is definitely a lot stronger than my full bottle which is strange...
Edit: Well, funny enough the postman just brought me the remaining samples I ordered from MFK including 'Cologne pour le Soir' and 'Cologne pour le Matin' and both of these samples also say 'Eau de parfum', so apparently that's printed on ALL of the MFK samples. Still doesn't explain the big difference between the sample and full bottle of LnPH though...

You guys should contact MFK and ask them about the differences between samples and full bottles.
Oops..just double checked on MFK's site, Aqua Universalis is indeed EdP, but not Lumiere Noire homme.
I'm finding that this doesn't seem very noticeable at all on my skin after about 4 hours or so, yet it seems to be the general concensus that its a longevity beast of a scent. It does seem detectable on a shirt i sprayed as a test after 3 days though. Could it be that it just doesn't blend well with my skin? Or is olfactory fatigue the likely cause? I've been going with a spray to each wrist, one to the chest and two on the neck. I've had similar longevity issues with Lyric Man too. Another rose scent universally praised for its staying power!
I am guessing it is olfactory fatigue. I have Lumiere Noire Pour Homme, and it lasts a long time. You could probably try this: Don't spray on your neck where you will be smelling it all the time -- try just spraying on your wrists/arms so you are not constantly breathing it in. Then sample your wrists ever half hour or so and see how long you can continue to smell it - that should help you determine if it is OF, or you just aren't getting much longevity out of it. Or you could ask someone if they can smell it on you.
what's the point of longevity without projection.
its worth nothing if longevity is 17 hours on skin but stops projecouting after 3 hours.
the general consensus is that projection is poor.
that said, i still love it & wear it to short occasions our casually at home.
I get great longevity and great projection as well--my wife could smell it as soon as I stepped in the door after 8 hours or so. It could also be skin type.
I just came across a semi-vintage bottle of Fahrenheit (from 1998) and I put it on and poof, after 2-3 hours it's undetectable on my skin. Such a shame because I love it! But skin types do make a surprising amount of difference as well.
Great frag.
Wore Lumiere Noire again and it seems to be a different story. Applied it around 6pm last night and as of noon, I can still smell it faintly on my wrists. It seemed to vanish and then come back.
Also, on the subject of longevity/projection, I've read so many people say that Frapin 1270 is terrible on both counts, but I've found the complete opposite. There are few scents where I notice the smell like a cloud around me quite as much as this one and its still going strong on my wrists the next day. Look like I got lucky with my skin type on that one and I'm glad as its incredible stuff!
From reading above I apparently get an unusual amount of projection with this one. I can smell it radiating off my own skin without reaching to smell it for 6-8 hours easily; 10-12 hours longevity. Very good performance on this one (and a great scent).
Current favorites_____Black Tourmaline_____Gucci Pour Homme II_____Memoir Man_____Tuscan Leather______Montale Aoud and Pine_____Sel Marin_____Invasion Barbare_____Tonka Imperial____Dior Homme Intense_____L'Humaniste____Santal 33_____Bois d'Argent_____Nio_____MFK Oud_____Lumiere Noire_____Bois d'Encens_____Cuir Ottoman
I would say that in general, at least in my experience, after a while the only way you can get a decent whiff of what you are wearing IS to smell your wrist or whatever. If after a few hours you are still enveloped in a cloud of scent then you are most probably wearing far too much and will just be annoying those around you.

Unless this hypothetical D lint tool actually ends up materializing, then I'm forced to adapt to a compiler that refuses to let me know about a condition that I *want* to know about. Someone else in this thread just mentioned that DMD's warnings are always treated as errors, instead of only being treated as errors with a "warnings as errors" switch. I wasn't aware of this. That approach *certainly* confuses the issue of "warning" vs. "error" and creates what are effectively multiple languages (and, as other people pointed out, makes such "'warnings'-but-not-really-true-warnings" useless when using outside source libraries). (If you're wondering how I could have not known DMD treats warnings as errors since I'm obviously so pro-warning that I would certainly be using the -w switch, it's because at the moment, I seem to be having trouble getting DMD 1.029 to emit any warnings, even when deliberately trying to trigger the ones it's supposed to support. *But* for all I know right now this may be a rebuild or IDE issue, I haven't had a chance to look into it yet.) > As for the needs of programming managers, I think D is the only language > that has attempted to address those needs. At least I've never ever heard > of any other language even acknowledge the existence of such needs. If there's a legitimate need that programming managers have that can be met by a compiler without creating any problems for the actual programmers, then I'm all for it. But when there's a "programming manager" that's steadfast about "all warnings must always be treated as errors", *BUT* refuses to be practical about it and entertain any notion that there may actually be some warnings that are NOT really problems (in other words, "delusional" by the very definition of the word), then said "programming manager" is clearly incompetent and by no means should be indulged. That's like creating a programming language where 2 + 2 equals 7, just because you find out that there are "programmers" who are incompetent enough to insist that 2 + 2 really does equal 7.

I could turn that around and say that with a sufficient lint tool incorporated into the compiler (activated optionally, of course), there would be no need for an external lint tool. Plus, an external lint tool is, by necessity, going to incorporate a lot of duplicated functionality from the compiler (roughly the whole front-end). Although I suppose that could be moved into a shared library to avoid duplicated maintenance efforts. But since you mentioned that having lint work being done in the compiler would be uselessly time consuming (Again, uselessly time consuming only if there's no switch to turn such checking on/off. Also, I assume you're referring to the speed of compiling), then I should point out that with an external lint tool, you're likely to have plenty of duplicated processing going on (lexing and parsing once for the external lint, and again for the real compiler).

There's a lot of good stuff that works that way (unit testing and D's function contracts, for instance. I've seen some other new things from the Java world as well), and your idea is certainly interesting. But I worry that eventually we'll get to some point where all code either is or can be generated straight from "intents" syntax. Now that certainly sounds great, but at that point all we really would have done is reinvent "programming language" and we'd be left with the same problem we have today: how can we be sure that the "code"/"intents" that we wrote are really what we intended to write? The solution would have just recreated the problem. Regarding your specific idea, my concern with that is that the whole "write and read the variable several times, starting with a write followed by some read" is tied too closely to the actual implementation. Change your algorithm/approach, and you gotta go update your intents. I'd feel like I'd gone right back to header files. > Please note, that such cannot be done by a lint tool. True, since lint tools only do front-end work. But the compiler would be able to do it by injecting appropriate code into its output. An external lint tool *could* be made to do it by using ultra-fancy CTFE, but then the ultra-fancy-CTFE engine would effectively be a VM (or, heck, even real native code), which would mean adding a backend to the lint tool which would basically turn it into a compiler. Thus, in a manner of speaking, there would be correctness-analysis that a compiler could do that a lint tool (by a definition of "lint tool" that would have admittedly become rather debatable by that point) couldn't. ;)
July 09, 2008Re: Wish: Variable Not Used Warning
The reason for treating warnings as errors when warnings are enabled is so that, for a long build, they don't scroll up and off your screen and go unnoticed.

Not always. Sometimes they are the result of an inability to change the
language specification (because it's a standard). Common C++ compiler
warnings are indications of bugs in the standard that can't be fixed.

But the hope is that this stuff will be easier for you to read/evaluate, smaller, written in terms that are closer to how you think of the problem and further from how it's implemented. At some point the issue arises of "is this what the end user wants?" (lint can't help you there :)

I've been following this thread, and I'm not really sure which side of the
issue I'm on, but this, sir, is one of the worst explanations for a feature.
Ever heard of 'less'? or 'more' on Windows? Maybe piping to a file? Maybe
using an IDE that stores all the warnings/errors for you?
Please stop saving poor Mr. ignorant programmer from himself. Education is
the key to solving this problem, not catering to the ignorance.
Sorry for the harshness, but seriously!

Results vs. NCAA Reginoals (2008-11-08 00:00:00)
November 8, 2008Wingate, NC – The Pfeiffer men's and women's cross country teams competed in the NCAA Southeast Regional on Saturday morning at Wingate University. The region includes approximately 30 schools from the Peach Belt, South Atlantic and Conference Carolinas. The men's team finished in 18th place, while the women placed 19th.
Pfeiffer was led by seniors AJ Pearson (Rockwell, NC) and Nick Jackson (New London, NC). Pearson ran a 36:39 within seconds of his time from last season and Jackson ran a personal best 37:43. Freshmen Cameron Auten (Indian Trail, NC) and Deandre Crayton (Houston, TX) competed in their first NCAA Regional and finished with times of 39:29 and 39:49, respectively. Sophomore Joseph Helms (Albemarle, NC) scored in the fifth position for Pfeiffer.
The Lady Falcons were led by senior twin sisters Samantha and Stephanie Rynas (Morehead City, NC). Samantha barely edged out her sister at the line as they both ran a time of 26:16 for the 6 kilometer race. Freshman Chessa Parisi (Harrisburg, NC) was Pfeiffer's third runner with a time of 26:39. Magen Abernathy (Norwood, NC), sidelined for the last week due to illness, finished fourth for Pfeiffer (30:40) and senior Ellen Humphrey (Newport, NC) was fifth (35:32).
Samantha Rynas 61 26:16 Stephanie Rynas 62 26:16 Chessa Parisi 78 26:39 Magen Abernathy 141 30:40 Ellen Humphrey 150 35:32 Becky Stone 151 36:13

How to turn a gorgeous picture into a card
Mike Benbow / For The Herald
Snow geese in the Stillaguamish River estuary south of Stanwood fly in front of the Cascade Range in January.
Mike Benbow
To create a Photographer's Edge card select a 4-by-6-inch photo, remove the top two strips of wax paper and position the photo face down.
Remove the two bottom strips on the sides of the card and fold the instructions over to anchor all the photo edges.
There usually is some combination of ribbons, fancy paper, stamped images or something clipped from a magazine.
I've always been interested in doing something similar with my photos shot of wildlife or beautiful scenery around the Northwest. My friends around the country always seem impressed with local photos.
And they should be.
There are very few places in the world where you're a short drive away from desert, mountains, forests, rivers, an ocean and an inland waterway like Puget Sound.
As a result, I've never had a problem coming up with interesting outdoor photos as fodder for card material. I just didn't have either the skill or the time to turn them into fancy cards.
That's why I was excited not too long ago to find that there are a growing number of companies on the Internet who do the work for you. You can produce custom cards using your own photos and sentiments.
And you can do it quickly and relatively inexpensively too.
A friend recently put together a card at Walgreen's, saying it didn't take her any more time than it would have to select a mass produced card from the display rack.
My favorite company so far is Photographer's Edge (www.photographersedge.com).
If they were to write a book, it would be called "Card Making for Dummies".
Basically you buy envelopes and cardstock online in a wide variety of styles and colors.
The stock comes with an adhesive strip that you use to anchor a 4-by-6-inch photo that is placed behind a window.
Then you fold the card over to conceal the work and display the photo and you're done.
The cards have a nice professional look. You can have personal messages or information printed on the front or the back or just write in your own with a pen.
Photographer's Edge sells a number of other products, including things like shoulder straps to make it easier to carry a photo tripod.
It also has racks for people who would like to make their photography into a home business by selling cards in local retail shops or restaurants.
I don't think I have the time or the inclination to do that either, but it's nice to be able to produce cards in a flash with a professional yet personal look.
I like that I can add my own finished prints to cards rather than having the prints made somewhere else.
And Photographer's Edge has a nice online feature that allows you to preview how your digital photos would look in card stock with different styles and colors.
If you've always wanted to see your beautiful landscape or wildlife photos in a good looking card or calendar, and with the holidays approaching, now's the time to look at the variety of options.

Ural Ekaterinburg edged a 69-67 win on Tuesday evening at Gaz Metan Medias in the opening game of their EuroChallenge Qualifying Round tie.
Christopher Monroe had 23 points for the team from Russia, with Aaron McGhee also scoring 19 and corralling eight rebounds.
Gaz Metan Medias from Sibiu had a bright start and led 8-1 with just under three minutes to go in the opening frame.
The Russians battled back, though, and knotted the game at 28-28 with 3:30 remaining in the first half.
At half-time, Gaz Metan had a 34-33 lead.
Not much separated the sides the rest of the way.
Ural Ekaterinburg trailed 62-61 when their center, Oleg Baranov, drew a foul and made two free-throws.
Anton Glazunov then connected from behind the arc for a 66-62 lead.
Deven Mitchell's two free-throws brought the hosts to within 68-67 just four seconds from the end.
Knowing how valuable every point can be in a two-legged tie, Ural Ekaterinburg coach Oleg Okulov called a timeout.
When play resumed, Dmitriy Arteshin drew a foul and made one of two free-throws for the two-point win.
The second leg will be played next week in Russia.
Mitchell finished with 24 points and nine rebounds for Gaz Metan Medias, who made just two of their 21 shots from long range.
"I was expecting it to be a hard game for us, because Ural have played very well in the pre-season. They are a strong team and unfortunatelly we missed a lot today, especially from distance, we scored only two shots. Of course this is not an excuse, it was a qualification game, so we should give our best. I think that the qualification is still playing, and I expect a much better game on offensive at Ekaterinburg."
Ural Ekaterinburg head coach Oleg Okulov"It was a tough game, the first official game in this season for both teams. We won and that's good for us. The two points difference is not a confortable one, we must play very good at home."

NEW ORLEANS -- A dazzling fireworks display marked the culmination of another Lundi Gras celebration at the New Orleans riverfront, where Rex, the King of Carnival, officially assumed his throne.
'On behalf of the people of New Orleans, I am gonna bestow unto you the key to the city so that you will rule for the day,' said Mayor Mitch Landrieu, speaking to this year's Rex, Bill Hines.
During the ceremony at Spanish Plaza, Carnival dignitaries recognized Rex and King and Queen Zulu, Cedric and Monica Givens.
Rex arrived at the riverfront a little before 6 p.m., while King and Queen Zulu, Cedric and Monica Givens, made their grand entrance about an hour earlier.
The arrivals are part of a long-standing Lundi Gras tradition, and this year's royalty are thrilled by the entire experience.
'For anyone that's from the city and has grown up, as a child, watching Mardi Gras, and I'm 56 years old, and to think some day you would be King of Carnival. It's really the greatest feeling you could have,' Hines said.
'This is so exciting. This is so much fun. I'm enjoying it,' said King Zulu, Cedric Givens, who shared a message for all, as Fat Tuesday approaches.
'Happy Mardi Gras and have a safe one. And come out to see me tomorrow,' he said.
Rex's queen this year is Nina O'Brien Sloss.

text: In spite of the myriad ways to date and connect that didn't exist a few years ago, xonadu's sms chat and dating thrives. Social media has opened up new ways for resellers to promote our white label sms services. Media like facebook adverts and promoted tweets can drive consumers to a text based product even if it means coming via a facebook app, web app or mobile app. Ultimately consumers still attach a premium to receiving a text message on their phone from somebody they don't know. On our dating service the peer-to-peer sms conversations which unfold are immediate, addictive and often more intimate than anything dating site messaging services provide. It's a hit for most of our users which goes some way to explain why our ARPU figures are in rude health and why were in talks with dating clients about integrating our peer-to-peer sms into their websites. In terms of adult operator based virtual chat it seems there will always be a male consumer demand for this kind of service. No other dating servicecan provide instant adult content straight to the sms inbox of a mobile. Premium rate chat will always be an impulse purchase – it is not like paying by credit card for dating membership – and while the consumer can find it there will always be engagement with it. So are we threatened by social media? Arguably it's made a dent but no, not long term. I guess if Facebook ever created their own integrated dating service there'd be worried dating providers all over the world but even then there's a big enough (and still growing) dating/chat pie out there with more than enough to go round. Admittedly, social media does bring with it regulatory issues that from a white label perspective we're very aware of – rogue reseller tweets, or unscrupulous ads failing to explain pricing and terms and conditions are something we're anxious to avoid, but proper due diligence in the first place should eradicate this kind of behaviour.

Sister act leads Chargers' surge
Three sets of sisters have Marysville Getchell competing for a league title

Players on the Marysville Getchell girls soccer team cheer before the start of a recent game against Mountlake Terrace. The Chargers won the game and are currently in second place in the Wesco 3A North.
The Marysville Getchell girls soccer team has gone through its share of growing pains, finishing with a sub .500 record in each of its first two seasons. The 2013 season didn't start well either. The Chargers suffered a 2-0 loss to Bellingham in the opener.
They've lost just once since.
"This year I feel like we are progressing the way I would like us to," Marysville Getchell head coach Wayne Nash said. "For us to come out after that first game and turn it completely around and put up the numbers that we did showed what we can do."
After losing to Bellingham, the Chargers won five straight and outscored opponents 20-2 in the process.
At 3-1-1 in league and 5-2-1 overall, the Chargers are in second place in the Wesco 3A north behind crosstown rival Marysville Pilchuck (5-0-0, 5-3-0).
Much of MG's potent scoring attack has come from seniors Kelsee Crenshaw and Bailie Weikel. Crenshaw leads the team in goals with eight and Weikel has chipped in five of her own. The Chargers also have a surrounding cast that doesn't seem to have a problem putting Crenshaw and Weikel in a position to be successful.
"They (Kelsee and Bailie) came in this season ready to go," Nash said. "Even more than previous seasons. I was missing a few pieces as far as people who can create opportunities for us to score so Kelsee and Bailie didn't have to do everything. Several freshmen have provided those other scoring opportunities."
Two of those freshmen are Kelsee and Bailie's younger sisters, Gabriella Crenshaw and Lindsey Weikel.
"I feel like they (Gabriella and Lindsey) provide a really good dynamic on the field," Nash said. "They have a really good connection with their sisters and Kelsee's sister has a really good connection with Bailie and flip flopped. The cohesiveness is much higher than any other year."
Having the tools Nash has this year has allowed him to implement the attacking style of offense he is used to.
"The way I coach and the way I play and the way I played growing up was a very offensive style of soccer," Nash said. "I feel like this year I finally get the opportunity to show them that this style of soccer works."
Another freshman, Carley Wika, doesn't do any scoring but she does prevent the opponent from doing so as the team's goalkeeper also has an older sister on the team, junior defender Marina Wika.
"Some of the hardest players to connect to are your freshmen," Nash said. "They are still trying to figure out high school and how they fit into the team. Sometimes they don't get as many playing minutes as they are used to in club (soccer). So to have (older) sisters that can constantly check in with them and make sure that they understand what I'm saying and that they are still connected to the program and everything is amazing."
The Chargers have not only figured out a winning formula, but they have put themselves in position to do something that no other Marysville Getchell team has done in the school's four-year existence.
"We have a chance to put the first (championship) banner up in the gym if we can top MP and be (Wesco 3A) North champs," Nash said. "We could have the first banner up for the entire school ever. The way we are going to do it is to continue to get better and to not put pressure on ourselves, but to make sure that we are not letting up the entire season."
Perhaps the biggest -- and best -- sign that the Chargers are ready to compete for that championship is Nash said the team finally has it's own identity. They no longer see themselves the school that branched off from Marysville Pilchuck.
"I feel like this year it's truly an MG program," Nash said. "There is no talk about girls wondering how MP is doing or any focus on MP that's any different than any other team we face."

DENVER – Blake Coleman scored both goals for the Miami hockey team for the second-straight night and Ryan McKay's 32 saves made them hold up in a 2-1 win at Denver on Saturday night.
The contest was the RedHawks' (12-19-3, 6-17-1-1 National Collegiate Hockey) and Pioneers' (16-14-6, 10-11-3-2 NCHC) regular season finales before next weekend's NCHC Tournament starts.
One night after playing a fast-paced first period, both defenses slowed the game down early on. The Pioneers and RedHawks combined for only three shots (2-1 Denver) over the first six minutes of play with neither team finding the net.
McKay came up big midway through the first when he moved deftly to his left to stop Matt Marcinew on a 2-on-1 rush. The sophomore was in the zone during the opening 20 minutes of play, finishing with 12 saves. Denver turned up the pressure late in the period and fired the final eight shots on goal. On one particular shift, the Pioneers got the puck to the middle and fired several point blank shots that McKay stood tall on. His best save in the sequence came when he calmly slid to his right to keep Grant Arnold from putting in a rebound. Denver outshot Miami 12-5 in the first, but McKay's stellar play between the pipes kept the game scoreless at intermission.
Play was delayed with 15:08 left in the second after Riley Barber crashed into the net and the puck went over the goal line. The net came loose, but officials spent a few minutes looking at the play before ruling no goal to keep the game scoreless.
DU drew the game's first power play with 12:58 to play in the second period, but MU stood tall and allowed only one shot on goal in a successful penalty kill. The Red and White got on the board with 7:21 remaining in the frame when Coleman tipped Trevor Hamilton's point shot past Sam Brittain for his 17th goal of the season and his seventh in the past six games. Austin Czarnik also notched an assist on the goal that gave Miami its first lead of the weekend at 1-0.
The RedHawks' advantage was short lived as Zac Larraza corralled a loose puck off a blocked shot and wristed it in to tie it up 37 seconds later. After pinning MU in its defensive zone, DU earned another power play with 5:08 left in the second. The Pioneers held possession in the offensive end the majority of the power play, but two McKay saves and a pair of blocked shots kept DU off the board. Miami outshot Denver 15-14 in the middle stanza, but the teams skated into the locker rooms deadlocked in a 1-1 tie.
Miami out aggressively in the third, taking six of the first seven shots in the period. Max Cook's work behind the DU net brought the puck into the middle for a pair of shots that Brittain stopped. A few moments later, Coleman made a bid for his second by skating from the right wing and moving the puck into the middle for a shot that Brittain gloved.
Miami put a puck in the net with 15:41 to play, but it was waved off because it was knocked in with a glove. With the game still tied, Marcinew got behind the defense for a breakaway that McKay shut down.
With 7:33 gone by in the frame, Coleman blocked David Makowski's shot and skated in for a breakaway. He roofed a backhand shot for his second of the evening to put MU ahead 2-1.
The next few shifts saw the RedHawks tilt the ice in the Pioneers' end. Riley Barber had two golden opportunities in particular. Immediately after Coleman's goal, Barber fired one off the cross bar at a sharp angle. The sophomore forward found space in a two-on-one a few minutes later and his shot was shrugged off by Brittain to force the puck just over the net. Anthony Louis found the loose puck off that shot and brought it back in front for a couple chances that Brittain again stopped.
In perhaps its finest third period of the year, MU outshot DU 24-7. Even so, the RedHawks clung to the one-goal lead late in the period. The Pioneers pulled Brittain for an extra attacker with 1:24 remaining and held the puck in the offensive zone for the majority of that time. Miami stayed disciplined and cut off the shooting lanes to force Denver to the outside. McKay made the saves he needed to through traffic and Czarnik corralled a loose puck and dumped it out of the zone to relieve the pressure in the waning seconds, allowing the Red and White to hold on for the win.
A season-high 24 shots in the third period gave Miami a 44-33 edge in shots for the game. Neither power play converted in the game as DU went 0-for-2 while MU finished 0-for-1 with the man advantage. McKay turned away 32 of 33 shots while Brittain made 42 saves for Denver. With an assist, Czarnik tied Chris Bergeron, Derek Edwardson, Greg Hogeboom and Matt Christie for 28th in Miami history with 120 career points. Coleman has scored eight of MU's last 10 goals and has four multi-goal games in the six games he's played since he returned to the lineup on Feb. 21.
Miami opens up the inaugural NCHC Tournament as the eight seed on Friday when it travels to regular season champion St. Cloud State to open a best-of-three series. Friday's contest begins at 8:37 p.m. ET while the games on Saturday and Sunday (if necessary) begin at 8:07 p.m. ET.

National team competitions
Paris Levallois have returned from the dead on the road to record a famous 76-74 victory in the opening game of their EuroChallenge quarter-final play-off series against Pinar Karsiyaka.
In scenes barely believable to the partisan crowd, they watched as Pinar Karsiyaka gave up a William Thomas-inspired nine-point lead with less than five minutes to play as Paris came back to win the game on a pair of Antoine Diot free-throws with 14 seconds to play.
Following a tense opening three quarters in which neither team gave an inch, it appeared that Pinar Karsiyaka had made the decisive break in the opening minutes of the final frame as Thomas - who became a menace under the baskets following the early injury-forced departure of Sean May - contributed eight points on a 16-7 run, transforming a tied-ball game into a seemingly one-sided affair.
Thomas ended the night with a game-high 25 points.
However, the Parisians were not about to be counted out with Diot and John Cox lighting it up at the death, combining to score all 13 of their teams final points on a 13-2 run to give the visitors a near-unthinkable win.
Diot ended with nine points and Cox had 12 but perhaps the most impressive stat-line was that of youngster Louis Labeyrie who surpassed his season-best 13 points to end with 19 on 9-for-13 shooting from the field. Andew Albicy was also prominent with 14 points.

Thunder Ridge Emu Products Intensive Pain Relief combines Thunder Ridge Emu Oil, Aloe Vera and MSM (one of nature's richest sources of sulfur) gives long-lasting relief to both the chronic pain of joint and muscle inflammation, but also the quick relief needed for muscle pulls, sprains, sports injuries and over-exertion. This unique gel opens the skin's pores, allowing penetration straight to the problem, yet offers a cool relaxing feeling on the skin. Intensive Pain Relief leaves no residue on the skin, does not stain clothing, or leave any lingering "medicine cabinet" smells. Thunder Ridge Emu Oil naturally contains Linolenic Acid (Omega 3), Linoleic Acid (Omega 6), and Oleic Acid (Omega 9) along with other Essential Fatty Acids. These Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) have proven beneficial in aiding the healing process. Often called the "Wonder from Down Under", the Australian Aboriginies have known for centuries that both the meat and oil of the emu possess special properties which explain its role as a traditional Aboriginal food and medicine.
Maintaining hydration, skin integrity and elasticity is essential for the prevention of dry, aging skin. The application of Emu Oil will allow the Essential Fatty Acids to penetrate the epidermal layers of the skin down to the basal layer where it enhances new cell proliferation. The hyper-oxygenation of the fatty acid esters contained in Emu Oil increase the local blood flow in the areas of application, accelerating the healing process.
A growing number of users, including professional sports teams, chiropractors, massage and physical therapists and other medical professionals, report excellent results from Emu Oil and Emu Oil basal rubs. There is clinical evidence that it contains a high level of Lenoleic Acid (Omega 6), a substance known to ease the discomfort of muscle and joint pain. In addition to the healing effects Emu Oil has on the skin and inflamed joints, it is also rich in anti-oxidants which help to slow down the aging process and in some cases actually reverses it. It's anti-bacterial, hypo-allergenic and a natural non-comedogenic. Small Wonder it's a favorite among skin care professionals!
What Is Emu Oil? Emu Oil is an ancient healing tool first used by the Native Peoples of Australia to treat the skin, muscles, scalp/hair and joints. á The oil is a base for a multitude of products including emu oil soap, massage oil, lotions and lip balm.
Emu Oil has demonstrated beneficial improvement for the following problems:
About Thunder Ridge Emu Products Thunder Ridge Emu Products CEO Anne Geller has raised emus since 1993 on her 30-acre ranch outside of Manassas, Virginia. Today, around 2000 emus --flightless birds native to Australia-- roam freely in large fenced pastures in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains. Thunder Ridge is the largest emu farm in the eastern United States. Ms. Geller named the Thunder Ridge farm and her company after the low-pitched thunder sound that female emus make. The Australian aborigines' nickname for the emu is translated as "thunder chicken."
Thunder Ridge's unique all-natural feed program is a customized blend of grains and minerals. Thunder Ridge uses no steroids, antibiotics, growth hormones or animal proteins. All meat and oil products from Thunder Ridge emus are completely drug-free. The American Heart Association recommends emu meat, which is low in fat and cholesterol and high in protein and iron. Top chefs and educated consumers have discovered the taste of emu meat is similar to lean beef.
Emu Oil has been used for thousands of years by Australian aborginees for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It is one of the most promising ancient remedies to catch on in this millennium!

From nothing, according to the quantum law, something will appear, that's the simple answer, you can't put a lid on it.
Vaccum fluctuations are also extremely well verified over and over in many different experiments and it causes all sorts of effects that we measure.
Ah, so nothing = quantum fluctuations.
If we are going to pick a physical object as the definition of nothing, why not balloons? Why not balloons = nothing? Then a clown holding 50 ballons is holding absolute nothingness and he could write a book about how he has explained the universe.

We checked in at 7pm on Friday 11/8/13. Went up to a young Asian man, did the $20 trick asked if they had any upgrades and he said they could only upgrade us to a tower room because it was veterans weekend.
We actually got comped for one room and got the players discount for the other on our reservation with a casino host.
My first time trying the sandwhich, we got in at around 11pm, the normal line was long, but the MLife players club was only 3 deep. The woman behind the desk was great, took the money very subtley and proceeded to work and work to find the right upgrade, even calling another agent for help at one point. There were 4 of us booked, so she was trying to get us 4 beds, but with the couch etc, we just took the Single King premier and that was that. Great room, literally cost us $300 for the weekend w/ the comps, and I'm not a big high roller. I promise.
Went to Vegas with 3 friends. My buddy heard about this trick from a friend of his who stayed at the Cosmo. My friend was the first to try it out of our group of 4. He walked up to the front desk clerk with the "sandwich" ($20 bill between his ID and his CC) and asked the clerk if they had any suites available (We all booked standard rooms through Priceline). He said they did and got an upgrade to a Pyramid suite on the 25th floor. He signal for the rest of us to do the same and we lined up behind him all with our sandwiches ready and each got an upgrade. 20 minutes later we each had a Pyramid suite and the clerk was $80 richer.
Got to the Luxor around 10:45am and there was already a long line that wrapped the lobby area to check in. All stations were open and there were at least 2-3 managers working the front. I figured I would try the sandwich trick. By the time it was my turn, I was assisted by a young male in his late 20's with dark hair. I told him I was checking in for 4 nights, and when he asked for my credit card and ID, I gave him the sandwich and before I could even get out my question on upgrades he quickly game me my $20 back in plain sight. I was a bit bummed since this trick has worked for me in the past but not too disappointed since he remained polite and offered to get me a strip view at no charge. I believe I just went at a time when it was too busy with too many managers working the front. This minor failure won't stop me from trying this the next time I am in Vegas! This time Lady Luck was not on my side....oh well! Good luck to the rest of you.
The line was ridiculously busy at 4pm. We got an older Asian female who told us they had just changed software on their computers. There were lots of managers around so I thought it wouldn't work. That and we had booked our vacation on southwest. We had the cheapest room available. I gave her the sandwich and told her it was my buddy's bachelor party and would like a complimentary upgrade. She said let me check, saw the sandwich, placed the $20 aside and upgraded us!
Checked in at 9pm on a Saturday night and there was hardly a line. My wife didn't stand with me and I took the clerk that was given. She was a local and was a having a good time with me about how much I drank on the plane and how my wife was standing at the other end of the counter because she was embarrassed about asking for an upgrade. So, then I presented the $20 sandwich and politely said, "I know i'm in a pyramid room but if you could find anything better, I'd really appreciate it." She feverishly typed away and gave me a 2x upgrade.
Yes the trick actually worked. It was about 3pm on thursday (Stayed 3 nights just this week)and the line was actually full. I did not target anyone as i took the first open person. It was a male about mid 20's. I told him my last name he asked for the my id and cc, and i placed a 20 in between that he saw. I said hey do you have any free upgrades for me. He started typing away, and he left for 2 minutes to talk to someone, then came back and continued to type. He said looks like we do. I got the Players deluxe room which was an upgrade from my pyramid deluxe room( I actually got to see the room i originally booked as a friend stayed over) Our room came equipped with a 40 inch plasma with boss speakers, updated looking room, marbled bathroom with separate shower and jet tubs, Fridge and coffee maker wetbar, free internet, and a sofa vs. the original room which had a 27 inch box tv, worned out looking, no fridge, coffee maker,wetbar, internet, no seperate shower and tubs.
Checked in around 3.00pm and there was no line so I decided to try my luck with an asian woman in her 30s. As I was booked in for 9 nights which included the Nascar weekend I wasn\'t sure it would work. I handed over the $20 sandwich and just asked if there was any possibility of an upgrade. She said that she would have a look for me and after less than aminute of typing she advised that she could offer me a Deluxe Tower Room and even offered me the choice of a King Room that was available straight away or, if I wanted to wait for a coupkle of hours a Queen double room. As I had been travelling for over 12 hours I took the King Room. No view of the Strip but a great room non the less. Will definitely try this next time.
My wife and I arrived around 11:00 AM on a Monday. At the Luxor if the line is a bit busier you can't pick which receptionist you go to. When it was our turn we were sent to a male in his mid 30's. I did the sandwich and asked for a complimentary upgrade. He proceeded to tell me that they can't/won't do that anymore, times have changed, blah blah blah. As he was saying all of this I could I could tell he was full of it. No upgrade. I was a little irritated because of his attitude, obvious BS, and I have gotten an upgrade before at the Luxor. The room was not ready, but that was fine because we were trying to check in at check out time. He gave me a brochure and wrote a number on it and said to call in a few hours and see if a room was ready. He also said that when a room was ready that we did not need to stand in the long line, go to a different desk and they would give us the keys. We checked our bags in holding and got a few drinks. After a couple of hours passed I got back in the long line. My wife asked me why we were in the long line. I told her I was not ready to give up. This time we went to a younger gal. I told her that we had already checked in and we were just waiting on a room. This time I put the $20 on the counter, but under my hand where she could see it. I asked for an upgrade and she said, "Are you looking for a complimentary one?" then looked at the $20. I told her I sure was and slipped her the $20. I got popped up to a Spa Suite, which is what I was upgraded to on the last trip and exactly what I wanted.
"If you first don't succeed… Try try again." Words to live by.
The guy looked like he was trying really hard to find something but said everything was booked. He did offer to upgrade us to the Tower Deluxe Room but we declined as it's normally a $20 price difference anyway. Asked for change for the $20 and gave him a $5 tip.
Checked in around 5. Did not get to choose a clerk, but I think ours would have been a winner on a different day. Just asked if there was any room upgrades available, he seemed to know what I was talking about.
Checked in about 5pm, the line was real short and i got sent to the end of the check in booths to a youngish female. Greeted her with a smile and a happy hello, offered up my passport and CC with $20 in the middle and asked if there were any available complementary upgrades. She took the sandwich and and said that they dont do that sort of thing, but hid the tip and started to type away. She made all the right moves and suggestions that made me believe id hit the jackpot but i think i killed it all for myself. I had 2 rooms booked with the same CC as the missus had her mother travelling with us, and wanted to be near our room. So she changed the room she had marked out for me to get us 2 rooms close by.
Nearly. Next time will just que up twice.
Checked in about 10 PM, mid-week. Mid 20's female very nice and cooperative. I was a little hesitant because there seemed to be a lot of supervisors around. It didn't matter... She upgraded us without hesitation or hassle. Thanks for a great tip!
Checked in late at night. Sandwiched my $20 between Visa & driver's license and handed it over. He asked "did we want the room we had reserved or ..." - I answered - "sure, unless there's something better available on offer." Click click and then he excuses himself to talk to someone (the tell) and comes back & issues room keys. Batta bing batta boom.
I read about everyones success on this website and decided to give it a crack. Travelling from Australia i couldnt wait to give this a go, not for the upgrade, just to see if it worked. And it did. Checked in on a weekday night.
When the dude asked for my CC and DL i did the old sandwich and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. He typed away, and had no problem giving us an upgrade to the Tower Deluxe room. I asked if it was possible to get the Spa Suite, and he said he couldnt go up that high. But he gave us a room high up on the 16th floor with a great view.
Ended up with a saving of 100 bucks. Well worth it. Good luck players.
Checked in at 9:30 pm long line of 20 some couples ahead of me. Manager was working front check in as well. Worried I'd get him or clerk next to him. Got lucky with youngest girl working check in, away from manager. Didn't help - she smiled and laughed it off and quickly returned 20.
Didnt hurt to try, but no luck at Luxor.
There was a lot of people in line checking in. We checked in on the day after Thanksgiving so there was a somewhat long line and we just went to the next clerk that called us up. It was about 4pm when we checked in.
Our clerk was a middle aged white woman with blond hair who was very nice. My significant other presented the sandwich w/ the $20 bill and asked if "there were any complementary upgrades available" and she set the $20 bill on the counter and said she would check. She typed a bit on the computer and said she could offer us the next room up for free which was the Tower Deluxe. It is a bigger room with separate tub and shower (lovely bathroom may I add) and had a view of a roof and part of the pyramid (non strip view). She said that was the best she could do for a complementary upgrade after we asked if it was possible to get a higher grade room. Although we didn't get the spa suite we wanted, we were very happy with the tower deluxe room!!
She gave us our $20 back and we told her she could keep it but she insisted that it was no problem so we ended up keeping our $20.
I wonder if we could have gotten a suite had it been a slower weekend...
me and my friend went to the girl at front desk (at 7PM) and both of us used the $20 sandwich trick and she said one minute, went inside and came back and gave the upgrade and also said $10.95 daily usage fees is also waived. we stayed 3 nights, so saving were over $200 for each of us. Thanks for tip,.
went to the counter thinking i would be smart and try the sandwich with a 50.00
no dice, i mentioned that my wife and i were there for our 20th wedding anniversary , and could we upgrade to the pyramid spa suit, the girl left the50.00 on the counter in plain sight, and took my id
. she told me she could up grade my for 250.00 for 4 nights, and i said no thank you , she then offered 50.00 per night for the upgrade. again no thank you.
my friend who went as far as a 100.00 bribe while he was checking in 3 wickets down with his wife , aslo got no deal.
my guess is they are closly watching the front desk.
I approached a male approx 30 years fof age with the 20 sandwiched between my CC and ID. I asked him for a Complimentary room upgrade and he did it without a problem.
I arrived on a Saturday at around 3.30pm and got the next clerk in line which was a 35+ old lady. I did the sandwich trick with a $20 (even though we were staying 7 nights and got one free night) and she offered us a much better room with a view on the strip (two queen beds for just the two of us). She also scrapped the resort fee which would have been around $90 for the whole week. Not bad for a $20 I think.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Love them!
I love these save the date cards! They're printed beautifully and my family and friends love having a magnet. They size is perfect and they can be mailed with just one stamp. It was a little difficult to figure out how to completely personalize it, but after some trial and error I was able to do it. I'm very happy with this purchase!
The idea of using a magnet for a save the date is simply brilliant. Our families are spread out across the country and we are right in the middle, so we were hoping by sending out save the dates a year in advance would give people enough time to plan/fund their trips here. Being able to hang the save the date on the fridge so you can see it every day is such a great idea!!! The quality is great, the colors are vibrant, and the size is huge for what you're paying. Thanks!
Amazing Save The Date Magnets
I shopped around at different vendors for save the date magnets. Being a bride on a budget (as most are), I was looking for the lowest price but still required that the quality be there. Magnet Street came through at a very reasonable price and our magnets arrived in a cute magnetic box. Our family loves them, and so do we. Easy customization and many layouts to choose from. You can't go wrong with Magnet Street!
Size and Quality
The size and quality of these were exactly what we were looking for. I love how they came with the envelope as most places you have to pay extra for that. I would definitely recommend this product.
Great and average
We really enjoyed opeing the beautiful bos that the magnets came in only to find our small order taking up less than 1/6 of the box size. I recomend maybe getting smaller boxes for smaller order? I know that it is more inventory, but it kind of takes away from the experience when the box is pretty empty. Also, This would save you a little on shipping costs. The design and print of the magnets WAS AMZAING, couldn't ask for anything better. The actual magnets themselves were a little lack luster, meaning that they dont really hold to well unless they are specifically on a piece of metal themselves without anything under them such as an Invitation that would keep all of the wedding things together. Maybe use a stronger magnet composition with a higher neodymium ratio. Neverthless the magnets look great and our wedding will be amazing and we will probably use this site again, just some constructive critisim. Thank you for being quick to ship.

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's trade of Mike Magee for Robbie Rogers is one of the hottest topics for conversations heading into 2014, but LA head coach and general manager Bruce Arena insists that there are no regrets with the deal.
After being dealt to the Chicago Fire on May 25 in exchange for the rights to Rogers, Magee enjoyed an MVP-type season by tallying 15 goals and four assists as Chicago barely missed out on a postseason berth. Meanwhile, Rogers dealt with a series of injuries that limited him to just 16 appearances in all competitions.
With Rogers expected to be a major part of the Galaxy in 2014, Arena insists there was no second guessing on anything going forward.
"Who knows, we scored more goals than last year and Mike Magee's team didn't make the playoffs," said Arena. "I'd rather make the playoffs.
"No regrets on anything, you move forward," Arena later added. "There are a lot of reasons for that trade that you can [see when you] start ordering my book. They will be in my book."
Thoughts on Arena's comments?
Share them below.
CARSON, Calif. – Landon Donovan has been dealing with a left ankle issue since September, but now that the LA Galaxy are out of the postseason, the 31-year-old is planning to take some time to prepare for an important 2014.
On Monday, in the club's final media availability of the year, Donovan told reporters that he is expecting to take the next month to deal with a sprained left ankle that has limited him for more than a month and a half. The injury was the club's reasoning behind Donovan's omission from the U.S. National Team's November friendlies against Scotland and Austria.
Ahead of a year where he'll be needed to lead the LA Galaxy and the U.S. National Team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the offseason is a bit of a blessing in disguise for Donovan.
"[The offseason] is a little bit of a blessing, and I'm probably going to need the full time to let it heal," Donovan said Monday of the injury that first surfaced during LA's 2-2 draw with D.C. United in September. "My aim is to take at least the next four weeks and probably six weeks and let the ankle heal and then get myself ready."
Donovan is hoping to be ready by January which is when the Galaxy are scheduled to reconvene for training camp, but whether he'll be able to participate in the U.S. National Team's annual January camp remains up in the air.
"We'll see what happens," Donovan said. "I have to speak with Jurgen and see if that's something he wants me to be a part of."
CARSON, Calif. -- The 2013 season may be over, but LA Galaxy head coach and general manger Bruce Arena is already working to fine tune the team before enext year.
In this piece for LAGalaxy.com, Bruce Arena states that the Galaxy will be looking to add a "target forward", an "experienced flank player" and defensive depth.
Associate head coach Dave Sarachan agreed that LA will need to add some attacking punch.
"We have a really core that will return. We've solidified some things in goal, even though we didn't do well on set piece type stuff; I think we have a deeper roster in terms of our defensive corps," said Sarachan. "I've always believed that you can never have enough forwards. Whether you want to label it a creative midfielder who can make a pass out of nothing, having more threats up top and speed, having speed on the field and dynamic movement will be what we need to address."
What do you think that the Galaxy need to add in 2014?
Leave your thoughts below...
The LA Galaxy have just a single competitor left in Futbol MLS' Latino del Año competition.
Penedo advanced to the Round of 16 by defeating Chivas USA forward Erick Torres. The 32-year-old goalkeeper will take on Colorado Rapids' Honduran midfielder Hendry Thomas in the quarterfinal round.
CARSON, Calif. –The LA Galaxy have already begun to fine tune their roster with head coach and general manager Bruce Arena confirming the signing of midfielder Baggio Hušidić and the re-signing of veteran Todd Dunivant.
Hušidić has spent the last two seasons with Swedish club Hammarby, but had his MLS rights acquired by the Galaxy as part of the deal that sent Pablo Mastroeni to LA from the Colorado Rapids. Prior to departing for Europe, Hušidić spent three seasons with the Fire, making a total of 52 appearances in MLS competition while scoring five goals and six assists before his rights were acquired by Colorado in the 2011 MLS Re-Entry Draft.
"He's an experienced young player that can play different positions in the midfield. He'll offer value to our team for sure. He's a little older and got good experience and saw different style of play," said Arena said of Hušidić on Monday. "We know the player personally so we think that he'll be a good fit for our team. He's a good passer of the ball which is something that we think that we can be better at.
Galaxy associate head coach Dave Sarachan is well familiar with Hušidić as he was a teammate of his son Ian Sarachan at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Hušidić and Ian Sarachan began as fierce competitors in High School before college teammates and have remained close through the years with midfielder even serving as Sarachan's best man at his wedding last year. After keeping close tabs on Hušidić over the years, the Galaxy associate head coach believes that he could be a contributor in 2014.
"Even when he was a youth player at the club level and even in college, you could tell that he was destined to play professional soccer. He had the right mentality and work ethic," Sarachan told reporters. "I think all of these experiences with the Chicago Fire and now with Hammarby have helped him grow in knowing what it takes mentally and physically [to be a professional]. He's got a strong mental background and failing doesn't affect him, he's got a component in him that he's looking to compete. He's got a lot of good qualities and these experiences will help him."
Meanwhile, Dunivant confirmed to reporters on Monday that he had resigned a new deal that will keep him with LA for another two seasons.
"I felt as good this year as I have felt, so from that standpoint, I'm excited about it," said the 32-year-old Dunivant.
Omar Gonzalez called into U.S. National Team for November friendlies, Donovan misses out due to injury
LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez is headed to join the U.S. National Team for their upcoming friendlies against Scotland and Austria.
Gonzalez is one of 23 players called up for the match against Scotland at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Nov. 15 before taking on Austria in Vienna four days later. The team will gather on Monday afternoon in Glasgow.
Not on the squad is Galaxy forward Landon Donovan, but on Monday, the LA Galaxy's official twitter account stated that Donovan is still dealing with an ankle issue that caused him to miss out on international duty. Donovan has been dealing with a left ankle inflammation issue for several weeks.
SANDY, Utah—Robbie Keane has played a major role for the LA Galaxy during their run to two consecutive MLS Cups, but now that their bid for a third title is over, the fiercely competitive Irishman is looking for a little time to recharge his batteries.
Since joining the Galaxy back in August 2011, Keane has played almost constantly for LA, Ireland as well as a brief loan spell to Aston Villa and a training stint with Tottenham Hotspur. In 2013, Keane enjoyed an MVP-type season with 16 goals and 11 assists in 23 appearances, however, in the postseason, LA's captain failed to find the back of the net in the team's Conference Semifinal Series defeat to Real Salt Lake.
After the Galaxy's surprising defeat at Rio Tinto, Keane admitted that he could use some time to get back to full fitness before the 2014 season.
"I certainly need it because I have a few problems like my [left] Achilles which needs to be looked at fairly quick and hopefully we can solve that situation. It's been bothering me for a long time and this may be an opportunity for me maybe to get it done or whatever the medics see is the best thing to do," Keane told reporters following LA's defeat to Salt Lake. "For me, it'll be nice to have an extended break, but not too long. Friendlies next week, but we'll have the two friendlies in Ireland against [Latvia and Poland in November] and I expect to play them and then get a few little niggles sorted."
Although the Galaxy did not repeat as MLS Cup champion, Keane could still win some silverware as the Irish forward is a front runner for the MLS MVP. However, Keane isn't concerning himself with the trophy ahead of his first long offseason in years.
"Listen, it would be nice if that's the case, but if it is not then so be it," said Keane.
There's only four teams remaining in the MLS Cup Playoffs and for the first time, the LA Galaxy aren't one of them.
The Houston Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City will play for the Eastern Conference Championship--the two teams played to a scoreless draw on Saturday in Texas--while the Portland Timbers will take on Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Championship.
So that leaves the question: who do you got?
